Capt. Ben r. Egan says: The MEM

sentative from Alabama, delivered in
the Senate and House, and published
by order Of Congress, have made their
appearance in handsome form from
the Government printing shop, with a
fine steel-plate engraving OF the lament
ed Herndon.
This man was politician, and but
little known outside Of Alabama.
WILLIAM LEWIS HERNDON,
father Of the dead wife of ex-President
Arthur, was an officer of the American
navy, and lost his life in 1857, while
commanding the U. 5. mail steamship,

ing more heroic than this brave mans
death is recorded in our naval annals.
This vessel was en- route for Panama
crowded with returning California
gold-miners, four hundred of whom
went down with the unseaworthy ship.
When Capt. Herndon saw that the
time had come for her to sink, he
dressed himself in the full uniform OF
Government officer, stood promi-
nently conspicuous ON her wheeihouse
and with her disappeared beneath the
engulfng waves. This chivalrous man
was born in Virginia, and his sister
married Lieut.. Maury, the most dis
tinguished officer in the navy at the
outbreak OF the war.

HUNTED Down WITH BLOODHOUND
Jim Brown, colored man convicted of
illegal cohabitation with white woman,
escaped from the Jail here, with a number
of other prisoners, six or seven months ago.
While Sheriff Gilreath was returning from
Columbia last week, he heard that Brown
was in the neighborhood of Greenwood,
Abbeville county, and Deputy Sheriff J. D.
Gilrcath went down on the Columbia and
Greenville train, taking with him 'Duke,"
one of the bloodhounds kept at the county
Jail. At Greenwood Mr.. Gilreath learned
that Brown was living at Mr.. Samples
place, two miles from the town, and imme-
diately went there, taking J. A. Homer
| with him. Brown was found absent, but
Mr.. Homer saw him after q while in the
edge OF piece of woods quarter of mile
| away. When Brown was hailed he fled
into the woods, whereupon Mr.. Gilreath
followed him, putting the dog on his trail.
After run of about two miles, during
which the scent was not lost for moment,
Mr.. Gilreath, who was mile behind Duke,
was surprised to see Brown break through
the woods and run to him. Just as he put
on the handouts the dog came tearing back
on the trail, and was with difficulty re-
strained from seizing the prisoner. Brown
said he heard the dog gaining on him and
recognized his bay, and decided to save
himself by making circle and getting to
where he heard Mr.. Gilreath cheering, as
quickly as possible. He was just in time,
as Duke was gaining on him at every jump.
He was brought back here and lodged in
Jail. He will doubtless go to the peniten-
tiary where his partner in guilt is now serv-
ing out her time.--Greenviue Is. c. Daily
