Some queer commodities find their

says the London Chronicle. This was
what happened yesterday, when mar
quis' cor0net was put up and knocked
down by Conduit street auctioneer.

nnent should find it's way into the vul-
gar atmosphere of furniture dealers
and brokers' men, but that anybody
should want to buy secondhand cor;
onet is odder still. The biddings, it ia
true, were not keen. They began at a.
couple Of guineas ana went up to f5, at
which the cor0net went into the possess

son-certainly net marquis. But
then the article was no longer .prac-
ticable,' as the1 say on the stage. The

CHAPTER xxx. Continued
Fora long time LORD Aylmer sat lost
In angry thought So this was the
meaning Of Dicks sudden surrender
his dutiful acquiescsnce with his un-
cle's wishes. There had been no break
ing Of his chains when he set sail for
the East, no burning Of his boats be-
hind him. Not bit Of It! No; the
young gentleman had Quietly-ay, and
very cleverly the best Of what
to him was very bad and very dis
tasteful business, and intended to car
ry on the Palace Mansions arrange
ment in Madras just as he had done
in London.
But somebody else had to be dealt
with, the old lords grim thoughts ran
somebody else with brain a good
deal shrewder than Dicks, and a will
like cold steel. Lord Aylmer would
have something to do and say in the
matter of Mrs. Harris intended voy-
age to India, and he had no notion
whatever of allowing his nephew,
whom he cordially detested, to carry
out all his arrangements in triumph,
and in spite of him.
He reused himself presently, and
went to the table, where writing ma
terials were lying. Then he forced him
self to write an ordinary letter to Dick,
telling him he was in town for few
days, but was off to Aylmer's Field to-
morrow; that my lady was better and
he trusted Dick would bear in mind
that he had to reinstate himself in his
uncle's good graces, that he might get
over the disappointment caused by his
refusal to marry Mary Annandale, and
therefore he trusted he would spare no
pains to make himself indispensable
to his old friend, Barry Boynton. And
at the end of this meaningless and
commonplace letter Lord Aylmer made
an addition, which, like the scorpions
tail, contained the sting:
'P. S.-By-the-bye, you will be in

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

The Wife and MOther-tn-Law of Mr.,
Charles Keys.
Clasissa, Mimi. April Is, Especially
No family in this vicinity is better
known or more universally respected,
than Mr.. Charles Keys, the local
School Teacher, and his estimable wife
and mother-in-law. For long time,
Mrs. Keys has been in ill-health. Re
Gently, however, she has found q cure
for her ailments in Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
II cannot speak too highly of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, or what they have done
for me-" said Mrs. Keys.
h "My life was miserable, my back al
ways ached, also my head. I was
troubled with Neuralgia in the head
and face, and suffered extreme pain.
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills, all
those aches and pains have vanished
like the morning dew, and it now seems
that life is worth living. I consider
Dodd's Kidney Pills a God-send to suf-
fering humanity. They may rightly be
named the Elixir Of Youth.
while speaking Of my own case ane
the wonderful benefit have received,
1 might also add that my mother, who
is now an old lady of "a years and who
lives with me, has been troubled more
or less with aches and pains, as is nat
ural with one of her advanced age.
When she saw what Dodd's Kidney
Pills had done for me, she commenced
to use them herself, and she says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"This testimony is given In the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were, may see and read it, and be ben
Gifted by it,"
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighborhood.
Dodd's Kidney Pills have already q
wonderful reputation in Todd county.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

PAINT ROCK RIVER BRIDGE.
The Story of the Night Attack from a Con-
federate Standpoint

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
just read in your issue OF Jan. 81 an arti-
Gle from Charles Franz. describing the
fight at Paint Rock Bridge, In Alabama,
In April, 1862.
I was one Of ths attacking party, and
will take the liberty of correcting some Of
your correspondents statements.
Col Starns, of the 4th Tenn. Cav, had
400 men: Lieut.-Col. Haynes took one-half
of these and crossed to the east side of the
river; there were no 'bushwhackers," as
your correspondent calls them, but about
70 recruits twho had never been under fire
before) had just joined our command, one
OF whom. NJ. d. Bostick, was the man
whose voice was SO loud and clear, call
ing to the men to charge.
The signal agreed upon was. ms soon as
Ideut.-Co Haynes got in position ON the
enst side, to 'hoot" as an owl. AS soon
as the signal was given the firing was
opened on both sides of the river We soon
found that the bridge was too we'll forti-
he'd to be taken without artillery, and as
we had only shotguns and squirrel rifles.
we knew that we had tackled Job too big
for u.s., and after firing about 90 minutes
we Withdrew. Our countcrsign that night
was Paint Rock" and the answer was
Flint Rock" to be used in case we should
get mixed m with the other fellows.
now, with reference to our killed and
wounded, we had one killed in action and
one so severely wounded that he after
wards died, and two others wounded who
recovered, making in all only four cas-
ualties
Our information was that the bridge
was not fortified, and we expected an
easy job. but it was surprise to find it so
well protected, and this is the first in
formation we ever had as to how the guard
got information of onr intended attack and
made such preparation to meet it.
Now, while we were in open ground and
unprotected, the guard was well projected.
1t appears to me that they did not have
much to boast of. as we wounded more
than one-third of their number. and only
four of ours were hit; they certainly did
some wild shooting. Still we were not
proud enough Of the fight to have it writ
ten on our regimental flag
Your correspondent says that for their
defense of the bridge Gen. Mitchell gave
them authority. ''carte hlanch," to tnke
anything they could lay hands on, and to
arrest any and all citizens they might see
MT and send them to his headquarters un-
der guard. As my home was only about
10 miles from the bridge I know that this
part of his statement is correct

eXerted all Of our mental and physical
forces to build up our 'New South" whicI,

f. W. Phillips, one of our subscribers
sends us a letter from his son, who is al

in which he says:
The iRsurrectos broke out again about
week ago and tore up lot of railroad
tracks and cut the telegraph line. They
attacked detachment of the 9th Inf.
consisting of 20 soldiers (colored) and one
Signal Corps man. The Gugos killed IL
Of them, captured one, and the other seven
escaped. That was about 10 miles from
here.
''If people in the States do not stop aci
tatinS things here, we never will be able
to put this insurrection down. Some one
in the United States is supplying them
with arms. The majority of the natives
want to quit, but there are a few, like
Aguinaldo, with influence, who will moi
let them.
"A public school was established here
the other day, where they teach English
and raise the American flag every day
The natives know they are ignorant, and
are very anxious to learn, and they show
all possible respect to our flag. The school
has already been obliged to move into a
larger building, and the children come to
it from five and six miles around"
