From thence he moved to Georgetown, Ky, where he suhse- quently joined the Confederate army, and became a tried and true soldier of that famous chieftain, Gen. John Morgan, serving through that dis tinguished revolution which put at rest the question of secession. After the close of hostilities he came with other friends to Waverly, Lafayette County, Missouri. U. s, A., where he still resides, a peaceful, law abiding citizen and good neighbor. A few weeks since he was induced by the solicitation of his friends to join them in pooling chances in the November drawing of the Louisiana State Lot tery, by which he has ss one of four in the club, come in possession of one. fourth of one.twentieth of the capital prize of $3OO,OOO, being the comfortable sum of $3,750.

The Safe Vote.

Fort Worth Gazette; Senator of Delaware, during the eighteen years of senatorial career that is rapidly nearing to a close, al most always voted "No." One of the shrewdest politicians Tn Texas once remarked that may" vote was always a safe vote; that If the measure worked successfully no one cared to know who opposed it.; if it should prove failure, a negative vote enabled man to say "l told you so." The author of that opinion was never beaten before conven- tion or the people, and many scalp dangles from his diminutlve waist.
