The Generals Private and Public Record
....r Bitterly AssaiICd. -

FREpERrcKsBURG, Va, July 14.--II
response to the interview with Gen
Early, which has appeared all over
the country, denying that Gen. r. E
Lee ever told Mai. Horace Lacy that
if he (Lee) retired from command he
would recommend Gen. Malone as
his successor, Mai. Lacy has published
card, in which he deals not gently
with Gen. Early's record, public and
private, both before and since the
war. b..
In his interview Gen. Early de,
nounced Mai. Lacy us liar and a
crank. In his reply Mai. Lacy says
inssubstance that Earley's non-recol-
lection of what passed at Richmond
at the unveilingof the Lee monument
between himself and Early, concern
ing tho conversation with Lacy, is
proof of his debNuched condition on
that day. He says Early is not only
a miserable liar, but his private char
acter is in keeping with the lie which
has stamped his brow ever since this
controversy began, and that what he
said was literally true.
Then Lacy turns Oh Eally's mill
tary career, and says that whether in
tent, at drill or on the parade he was
invariably drunk, and the only noto-
riety he has attained since the wal
was his love for gamblng-houS and
other places of nl-famc, and his con
cubinage with negress.
His card closes in this manner: II
am Democrat, and have no sympa-
thy with Malone or his tactics, and
am opposed to him as a politician.
In justice to myself 1 feel I should
reiterate what I have already said,
and [ regret that l have to deal with
this miserable cur, who is trying to
exchange drunkenness for bravery"

This strange being makes the

He was discovered q few days ago
by party of negroes that were out
hdnting at night, and before the ne
groes had time to converse with this
strange individual he had a pistol in
each hand, bidding them depart.
His sleeping place has not as yet
been found. He is q terror to the
farmers i'll the Pleasant Grove neigh,

he will come to their houses and
| carry off any kind of fowl, and some
times will slaughter a hog and drag
it awhile and carry it on his shoulder
so as to completely keep his place OF
abode to himself. He has been shot
at two OF three times in his night
rambles, but on each occasion he has
successfully escaped injury. 1t is
| thought by some of the inhabitants
that he is an outlaw, and has chosen
Union county as his refuge. AL
efforts to capture him have proven
unsuccessful, and the men, womer
and children are afraid to go outside
their houses at night for fear they
will come in contarct with this being

An Indian Fights with a Bon.

One day an Indian made an excursion
to a mountain near Chevantzieurm, state
of Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after
some fuel for his hut. While cutting up
dry oak he suddenly felt bite on the
calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a
second. A moment later he felt coiling
around his body the terrible fold of boa
constructor. Instinctively he leaned his
his head over toward the wounded leg
aud was almost fascinated by the glare
oftwo bright basi.isk eyes. that CLEANED
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent
Quicker than flash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the rep
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
in the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent lashed his tail and tried to
twist it's head in order to bury its fangs
in the Indian, but the latter chung on
and began to chew away at the neck of
the boa, which is the thinnest and most
delicate part of the snakes anatomy,
After chewing for a long time, the H.
dian succeeded in beheading his antag-
onist, the folds dropped from around his
body, and the Indian was free.-New

Certain years in the life Of man have
been, from great antiquity, supposed to
have a peculiar Importance, and to be
liable to singular vicissitudes in his
health and fortunes. Where or how this
belief originated is unknown, but it is
supposed to have been founded on the
teachings of Pythagoras. The we'll known
notice of the climacteric year-63-sup-
posed to be particularly dangerous to
Cesar, evinces its prevalence among the
Romans, Some astrological writers have
called the sixty-third year mans 'hori-
GUS" because of mythical notion that
it was or is fatal to great men.
The sole cause of its blighting influence
is supposed to revert to the fact that it is
a multiple of the and 0, both of which
are mystical numbers. 1t is remarka-
bic fact that all nations attach particular
Importance to or any multiple of that
figure. Thus at IA, twice seven, the male
and female are supposed to have arrived
at puberty; at 81, three sevens, the male
becomes 'of age" while many writers,
Aristotle in particular, fix IS, five sevens,
as the height of bodily vigor and 40 as
the year of maximum mental activity.
At the age of 63, wheiI man is nine times
seven years of age, the most trivial dis
eases are likely to cause the death of the
most robust old man, while the ten sew
ems. (7O) have been ascribed as the limit of
bic earthly career.-St. Louis Republic.

Antiquity of Football.

The game of football was we'll known
in England prior to 1175, but it was never
regarded with favor by the law, and in
the reign of Edward Ill 1865 an act was
passed forbidding it. During the reis,
of Richard II Q3Ss) similar law was
enacted, and again. under the Scotch
kings, James Q424) and James II (145O
it was "decreeted and ordained that the
football and collie be utterly cryed down
and not to be used" In All James III
and in 149l James w passed similar
statutes. James l of England also op
posed it in his "Basilikon Doron." He
writes: From this court dcbarrc al
rough and violent exercise, as the foot.
ball, meeter for lameinS than making
able the users thereof" And in the
reign of Elizabeth, his predecessor, &
true bill was found against sixteen per
sons for playing the unlawful game. In
Cromwell's days a youth was indicted
for playing the game.--Canada La"

A new mill for the manufacture of
paper from moss has been recently es-
tablished in Sweden. Paper of different
thickness and pasteboard made of 1t have
already been shown, the latter even in
sheets thrce-q'Erters of an inch thick.
1t is as hard as wood and can he easily
painted and polished. 1t has all the good
qualities, but none of the defects, of
wood. The pasteboard can be used for
door and window frames, architectural
ornaments and all kinds of furniture.
The ceiling of the assembly chamber at
Albany, N. Y, is made of papier-mache.
1t is model of of its kind, and appears
so like marble as to deceive the most eX.
pert eye. The latest idea is to use paper
instead of wood for lead pencils. by using
a patent preparation by which it can be
cut as easily as the softest wood. st.

The sleeves are full and have deep cuffs,
and on the left side is pocket in which
is stuck white silk handkerchief with
a monogram in mauve on it. The cuffs
are of mauve silk caught with white
sleeve links. andthe collar is also of the

knotted in front in sailor fashion. The

departure, and in his leave taking, in his
most gallant manner, he thanked the host

had passed in her "homely home and in
the company of her "homely daughters. g
The GOODNESS that existed between the pro

ly" signified "hospitable," and certainly
none could have been more hospitable
than she and her hospitable daughters

Earliest Form Of Ladies' Headdress.

The earliest form of ladies' headdress
is said to have been the overchief or head
handkerchief. Then came the hood, uni.
versally worn during the Fourteenth
century, revival of the Anglo-Saxon
head covering. The close fitting cap is
said to have originated in decking the
corners of the hood for the sake of com.
fort and convenience. Chambers OBJ
serves that "the era of caps and hats is
referred to the year l449, the first seen
in these parts of the world being at the

that time they began by little and little

A Historic Shoe.

Joseph F. Graham. of New York, has
in his possession shoe and a sandal
which were worn by Queen Elizabeth
more than 300 years ago.
The shoe is in a wonderful state OF
preservation. 1t is a No..1 in length,
but rather too broad to be considered
shapely at the present time. 1t is made
of yellow brocaded satin, lined with fine,
stout canvas. The sole is of oak tanned
leather. The heel is exactly like the high
French heel of modern times 1t is
placed well under the foot and is at least
two inches high. The toe runs to sharp
point. Across the inStcp are two satin
straps, which evidently were once fas-
tened with jewelel clasps. Thers is no
stiffening in any part of the shoe. The
edges are bound with yellow silk braid.
