Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
NEWPORT NEws. Va, May 3O.-M. V.
Bachus, a colored Democratic orator from
Richmond, had been speaking every day
for q week in behalf of Democracy in
Newport News until the day Of election,
when his work being finished he went over
TO Norfolk to rest among acquaintance for
a day before returning to Richmond. Yes
terdav he came back 90 the city on tho 4;30
o'clock boat and started immediately for
the residence of @. II. Robinson, o young
colored lawyer and politician, with whom
Bachus had stayed during the campaign,
on Jefferson avenue IN Rockets.
MURDER IN THEIR Eyes.
Before reaching the house he WIS set
upon by q mob of angry negroes who. he
saws, had murder in their eyes. Bachus
fed as fast as his heels would carry him to
the house of Robinson and succeeded in
entering il ahead of his pursuers. Feeling
unsafe herehe slipped out the back way to
barn near by and concealed himself
under hOrse-trough.
ABLooD-THIBsTY MOB.
No sooner had he done so than the hell
ish legion" burst into the barn. They
ransacked every portion Of the building
| except that in which Bachus lay, fortu-
nately for him. They left more Infatuated
by disappointment than when they en-
tered. Bachus held his own until late
hour at night, when he left that part Of
our city to visit il no more soon. lie says
he has done nothing to displease his
brethren but preach Democracy to them.
WOMEN VICTORIOUS.
There is said TO have been free fight in
the dry-dOck Yesterday, participated IN
by two men and two women, in which the
latter came of victorious.

The superstition that an ostrich lays but
one egg annually, and drops that carelessly
in the sand, is nonsense. So also is the fam
liar story that the bird is in the habit of
poking his head in the sand, thinking that it
may thus escape the observation OF its pur-
suer. The ostrich is no such fool The fe-
male lays as many eggs annually as any
goose or hen, and all the birds In the flock
use the same nest, which is hole dug In the
sand in some secluded place where they are
safe from disturbance. When there are
twenty OF thirty eggs the male bird matches
them, sitting upon the nest continually for
thirty days, and Is fed meantime by tho fe-
males During the period of incubation tho
male bird is ia an ugly mood and attacks
fiercely with his bill and feet any man or
animal that approaches him. As the chicks
are hatched their mothers take care Of them,
the brood heing divided among the flock by
some instinct, and the cock is free TO attend
"a his own affairs again Very often eggs
are found on the paInpas, but such have been
dropped In the chase or by hens that have
been unable to reach tho nest, -. Philadelphia

The true reason why the Confederates
lost the battle of Cedar Greek has never
been told. Every Confederate that was
there says that it was due to the stampede
of Rosser's Laurel brigade" but very few
know what caused the stampede. In the
brigade was the Charlotte cavalry, of Char
lotte county, Va. The captain of this com
pany was Thomas Smith, who to add to
his martial appearance wore IA corset. He
led his gallant company on the field, and
Rosser was just about to order IA charge
when Capt. Smiths horse stepped into "a
stump hole.
The sudden jerk broke the corset string
The swapping cord made report that
sounded like bomb to the battleess vet
Grams, aud with one accord they followed
their gallant leader from the field, throw
ing the remainder of the brigade into II
panic and riding down the infantry that
were supporting them. Capt. Smith al
ways said that he left the field to get new
corset string but he never proved it.-Chi
