 A gentleman of this city remarked 10 A Union representative recently. Ithat the gift by Mrs Vanderbilt to Vanderbilt uni versity of oto-lithograph of the @Con- stitution of the provisional government of the Confederate states of America should be followed by gift of the original docu- ment-ssy to the Tennessee Historical so- ciety. This document, he said. -is for sale. and some one of our southern socie. ties should fall heir to it It is valuable as being the organic law of the now de funct Confederacy"
 @Who has the Original?n
 Mrs F. C. De Fontaine. now of New York city. who has had it in her posses sion ever since the fall of the Confederacy. At that time her husband. Felix Gregory de Fontaine. we'll known journalist and war correspondent. was the editor and publisher of paper in Columbia. s. c. After the evacuation of Richmond train load of boxes con taining public documents, etc, was shipped to Columbia De Fontaine needed paper on which to print his journal, but where to get it was a pug zling problem. George A. Trenholm happened to be in Columbia at the time, and to him the journalist explained the situation Go down. said Trenholm. to the depot and help yourself to some of the Confederate boxes. in which some thing may turn up that will answer your purpose. De Fontaine acted upon this, and one of the boxes contained the Con- federate Constitution Mira De Fontaine laid claim to tbis relic, and has sacredly protected it ever since -In 1882, remarked the reporters informant, Il went abroad. and was com missioned to negotiate it's sale to the Brit ish museum.

Why the Prisoner wePt


 A San Antonio darkey was on trial for stealing money from a house on Soledad street Julian Van Slyck, the attorney for the prisoner, in his address to the jury. said: -Gentlemen, my client is a poor man. He was driven by hunger and want to take the small sum of money. All that he wanted was sufficient money 10 buy bread. for it is in evidence that he did not take the pocketbook containing $500 that was in the same bureau drawer. If he was professional thief. he would have certainly taken the pocketbook- The eloquent attorney for the accused was in- terruptei by the convulsiye sob Jf his client. Why do you weept" asked Judge Noonan, who was on the bench Because didn't see dat ar ocketbook in the bureau drawer. was the reply. Everybody laughed except Van Slyck, the attorney for the defense.

A Big Tortoise.

The d%iscoverer Of the gigantic extinct
sea-turtle found near Fort Wallace, in
western Kansas, first observed the large
bony shields projecting from a bluff
near Butte creek. They were carefully
taken out and brought to Philadelphia,
where the restoration was made. The
fore-fippers alone were nearly five feet
long, while its expanse from the tip Of
M extended hipper to another was
about seventeen feet. The question
may arise how did this sea-turtle be-.
come buried in a bluff in the State OF
Kansas A natural %supposition would
be that Kansas is the bed of a former
ocean, and so it is. Ages ago, in what
is called by biologists the Cretaceous
period, that part of the world was the
bed of a great sen, in which the great
turtle swan, together with other mon
sters of curious shape and appearance.
Gradually the crust of the earth was
raised, the water fell back. or became
inclosed, and left the inhabitants of the
Cretacious sea high and dry, to be COW
cred by the earth and preserved for
us to study ages afterward.
The shores of this ancient ocean are
easily found and followed by biologists.
Its extent has been traced on our West
ern plains by the bleaching and disin-
~tegrating remains that have been found
upon and beneath the surface. st.

A Story Of the War.

For the number Of men engaged, the
battle of Huntsville, Tenn during the
war between the States, was perhaps
one of the most desperate struggles OF
the war. Two companies of General
Hanson's brigade and a portion of Gen.
eral Floyd's command were pitted
against the command of General John
A. Logan, late a candidate for Vice
President. So far as numbers were n
cerned, the conflict was an unequal one,
the Fedcrals far outnumbering the Con-
federates. The "rebs' were victorious,
more prisoners than there were
men in their command. Among other
kentucky boys who took part in the
battle were MIR. II. c. Payne and his
brother, Mr.. Lewis D. Payne, of Fay
cite county. When the Federals were
routed, General Logan was the last to
leave the field. He was holly pursued
and scores of shots were fired at his re-
form, and when he saw that he
would either be killed or captured, he
threw himself from his horse, and laying
himself on the ground, face downward,
"~'possumcd' death. The two Paynes
were together, and seeing him fall, and
recognizing him as an officer of high
rank, they hastily dismounted, took his
and papers, and remounting their
Joined again the pursuing party.
Returning from the chase, the Paynes
looked for the fallen officer, and found
that he had either been removed or gone
away of his own accord. When the
papers were examined, it was found that
the officer who had so cleverly escaped
was no other than General John A.
The papers and the sword were
turned ovcr to General Hanson.
This is a true story, which in the great
of wal literature has never be-
fore found place. The Payne brothers
are still living in this county, and are
among our most honored and respected
citizens. Lexington (Ey.) Press.

A Study of a M0ckins Bird.

The first time the mocking-bird's door
was opened he was not in the least sur
prised; no doubt, seeing others at
liberty, he had expected it. At any
rate, whatever his emotions, he instantly
ran out on the perch placed in his door
way, and surveyed his new world from
this position. He was in no panic, not
ever in haste. When fully ready, he
begins his tour of inspection. First, to
see if he really could reach the trees
without, through those large, clear open
ings, he tried the windows, each of the
three, but gently, not bouncing against
them so violently as to fall to the floor
as more imDetuous or less intelligent
birds invariably do. Having proved
each to be impossible, he was satisfied,
and never tired again. Next, the
ceiling interested him, and he few all
around the room, touching it gently
everywhere, to assure himself of its
nature. Convinced thus in a short
time, that his bonds were only widened,
not removed, he went on to investigate
closely what he had looked at from a
distance; every bird cage. inside as we'll
as outside, if the owner happened to be
away, every piece of furniture, pictures,
books, and the pincushion-wherc he
was detained some time trying to carry
off the large black heads Of shawl pins:
The looking glass absorbed him most
on the first day; he flew
against it, he lowered before it, slowly
from bottom to top, a!ighted on
top and looked over behind. 1 think he
never solved that mystery to his own
satisfaction, as he did that of the win
dow glass, which must have been quite
as inexplicable, and it was never with
out a certain charm for him. lie had no
in finding his way home; stand.
ing on a cage next to his, he saw his
own door-perch, recognized it instantly
Though he had been upon it only once),
and, being hungry, dropped to it and
ran into the cage.-At aattc Monthly.
