Friday Morning, April D, 1887.
Apolacy.
If apology to our readers bo necessary, for tho
absence in this morning's issue of the Intelli-
obnceb of original, or editorial matter, the Edi-
toh baa to stats that other important business
arrangements required bis attention and time
during yesterday, and bo was, therefore, forced
to let teuton have entire control of this column
The Late Thomas Ritchie.
The National Intelligtneer of Saturday has an
interesting article on the "leading political edi
tor* of Washington,” from which we extract tho
following allusions to the late Mr. Ritchie :
Thomas Ritchie succeeded F. P. Blair, and at
the same time, or soon alter, many new men of
the editorial fraternity, came upon tho Washing
ton stage. *•**•*«
-Mr. Ritchie brought with him, at that period
of advanced ago, all tho amenities, proprieties,
and courtesies that could Inspire a gentleman of
tho grand old school of Virginia statesmen. It
is recorded of his journal that Mr. Jefferson once
said “he read but one newspaper, and that was
Ritchie’s." It was at once soeu that the set of
politics ran too high and rough at Washington
to suit his character; yet he braved it through
by tho exertion of a marvelous activity, enthu
siasm, nnti devotion to the Democratic party and
the principles of the celebrated Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions of half a century previous.
He retained, at the advanced age of more thau
three-score and ton, great mercurialness and
flexibility ol manner, and his labors extended
far liiio the depths ol night. He boro a remark
able likeness at a little distance to General
Cameron, and underneath uu exterior of very
demonstrative courtesy laid a determined cour
age. When it was remarked to him, that by
reason of a sharp issue in politics of a personal
nature, Ids son might be called upon to defend
his honor, he said, the "blood ol Douglas will
protect itself."
Sir. Ritchie lmd a faculty of discovering news
paper ability in those about him, aud availed
himself of its advantages by acquiring the friend
ship of those who felt honored by his er.pres
sions of kind confidence and regard. He was
in Washington certainly more oT au Observer,
listener, and counselor in politics than a writer.
He walked long distances daily, from point to
point in the city, rarely wearing overcoat or cloak
ui the coldest of weather, fie looked through
the exchanges down to the smallest and most
remote weeklies. Bciug obliged, on one occa
sion, to leave town lor a few days, lie directed
that all the exchanges should bo preserved until
liis return. They made a huge pile in a cham
ber of his house, but nothing daunted, Mr.
Ritchie mounted to tho top ot it, looked through
each paper like a flash, aud then threw them out
of the window.
Mr. Ritchie’s articles were invariably of the
general party stamp, and not exhaustive argu
ments upon legal, constitutional, and politico-
economic questions. Being of a polished, rapier
like character, rather than of the battle-axe or
der, Mr.. Edmund Burke was called in to do
solid work. lie had carlo blanche, and opened
those effective broadsides uponllic opposite party
which were anticipated from his powerful essays
upon the tariff' question, over the signature of
“ Bundeicund.” At this time William M. Over-
ton, of Virgina, commenced labor upon the edi
torial staff of the Union, Ho wielded a steady,
strong, intelligent, and vigorous pen.
Indian FionT.—Sergeant Jno. Dwyer just in
witli despatches from Fort Clark, states that
Captain Wilcox started from the Fort early on
the Oth instant, with fitly men, in the direction
of Rio Pecos, and marched upwards of two
hundred miles, to tho vicinty of Fort Lancaster.
While encamped near Lancaster one of the
guides discovered a fresh trail. Starting nt once
with the most of his men, to follow the Red
skins, the Captain marcbedibur days on the trail
when he discovered the Indians, 200 strong, in’
front of him. He immediately ordered a charge,
when every man went in with a perfect deter
mination to do his duty. The result wss a run-
ning fight of fifteen miles, leaving forty Indians
on the ground dead, and a number wounded.—
The tight ceased only when they came upon the
mam camp of Indians, estimated to be some six
teen hundred strong, when the Cnptain ordered
a retreat.
The casualties iu the Captain’s party was five
wounded, four missing and one (a guide) killed.
The men returned to Fort Clark on the lfltb,
completely worn out. A Mexican boy, a cap
tive, broke away from the Indian camp during
the fight, and came into our lines; lie is now
with Capt. AVilcox, and states that the camp was
composed of Lipans, Kickapaos, Muscalero,
Comanches and others. The outward bound El
Paso-stage has returned to Fort Clark.—San An
tonio Express 22d.
The Express adds, "the number of the savages
saved them from annihilation.” The same cause
seems to have led to the very rapid return of the
pursuers. Unless the number of the Indians is
greatly exaggerated, there will he serious trouble
on tho frontier this spring.—Galveston Civilian.
Sherman’s Pilgrimage.—General Sherman
has obtained official leave from tho AVar Depart
ment to go on his contemplated pilgrimage to
t»e Holy Land. We wish him a good journey,
and greater success than he lmd in his pilgrim-
age to Mexico. He will travel in company with
a number of Brooklyn saints, led off by Henry
AVard Beecher. That Beecher is a Puritan of
the first water, and 8hermnu an exemplary
Catholic, will not make them less agreeable
traveling companions. We presume that they
will not harm each other on the voyage. It may
do them both good to visit the scenes where
Christianity had its birtii. Beecher may come
back a Catholic. The inspirations o! the holy
places, and tho influence ol Sherman’s gentle
temper, may have a good effect upon him.
Who knows but the general may capture the
parson by a theological flank movement ? AVe
have been trying to convert him for several years,
but we have not made much progress yet. As
for General Sherman, it may be very good for
him to be out of the country for the next couple
of years. He might even extend his absence to
three years with benefit; aud, in the meantime,
he could visit Mecca and Medina, where, no
doubt, he would be exceedingly popular witli
the Turks. AVhen he returns home, much that
is now freshly remembered would be forgotten,
and the sun ot his military reputation might
loom above the clouds that envelop his diplo
matic career.—A™ York lleratd.
The Raw-Fork Disease.—The Springfield
Republican ot the 20th of March, reports six
cases of the fearful disease known as " trichina
spiralis," hut which may he bettor impressed
upon tlie public mind by calling it the “ raw-
pork disease." There appears to be no doubt
whatever aliout the important facts in this in
stance. The victims, with a single exception,
belong to one family, and were ull taken sick at.
the same time, alter having eaten portions of a
rate ham, no part of it having been cooked. The
father, mother, two daughters, the grandfather of
the girls, anil a visitor, makingsix persons, wore
all taken seriously ill. One of the daughters,
who ate most freely, suffered most severely, and
subsequently died. . The mother ij still in a crit
ical condition, lint the others are expected to re
cover.
Investigations are being made to ascertain
whether any of the worms known as “trichina
spiralis” cun lie found in the bodies of the suf-
lerere. Tlius far this lias not been ascertained,
hut it is fully established that the sickness ol all
of them and the dealli ol one of the daughters
were the direct results of eating a raw ham.
This is the important point for people to remem
ber. The danger of being attacked by this dis
ease comes almost exclusively from eating the
pork iu its raw state. The effects of the heal
used in cooking the meat, even when it happeus
to he diseased, destroys the power ot these dread
ed uuimals to do mischief. It is surprising that
so simple a protection lias not yet been impress
ed upon the minds of all the people.

30th, caya:
Monoy ts Bllll active, although an coaler leftl-
ing is manifest. Call loans range from 0 to 7
per cent., with a good demand, nut borrowers
experience leas difficulty than haa been preva
lent for tho past day or two. There is conside
rable stringency iu nearly all tho commercial
centers, of the country j but It is presumed that
tho banks are now so strengthened, in order to
make a favorable report on tlie first ultimo, that
we may anticipate a relief from that pressure at
an early day. AVItlr tho plethora of idle capital

evidenced by tho enormous investments daily
being made in real cslato, as well as by tho fact
that Ilia inland exchange markets arc all In our
favor, necessitating largo shipments of currency
iu order to preserve balances, together with the
extraordinary cheapness of money throughout
Europe, a closo market here would seem to ho
au anomaly. But it really exists, and we pre
sume that the sole cause is simply a lack of con
fidence ; iu what we cannot say. Certainly not
in tho government, for her bonds are strong nud
steadily appreciating; not in onr people, for
now enterprises of vast magnitude are being de
veloped aud carried forward to completion daily.
Perhaps the solution is iu tlie inevitable struggle
that is taking and is to take place between paper
and a specie currency.'
Tho Tribune, of tlie 39lli, remarks:
Financial affairs uro not iu uu encouragiug

egin to see more clearly that tlie Treasury is
master of the situation, and able to get ils affairs

so many merchants and speculators based tbeir
operations, steadily decreases, and it is now ap-
i Outrages on the AVii.minoton and AVei.-
i don Railroad.—AVe learn that the detention ol
1 the mail train on Hie Wilmington and AVeldon
. Railroad yesterday was due to tlie burning of
1 the track in three places about twelve miles from
: the city. From three to five hundred cords ol
.1 wood, belonging lo the company,piled alongside
I, the road, were ignited during the night, and tho
| fire communicated to the track. It is feared that
tlie work was not the result of accident, hut we
'have not heard of suspiciuu pointing to any par
ticular individuals. Tiiesume night the outward
..bound train escaped total destruction hy one of
‘ohoae remarkable Providences that so often di
ked the fate of men. An entire rail had been
jreinoved from tlie track just beyond Smith’s
'creek bridge, and the engine and whole train
passed over thogap without displacing tlie wheels
p( any of the cars. Upon examination the rail
was found thrown to one side aud all tlie spikes
emoved.— Wilmington Ditpatch, April 2.

paper money at that, must move rapidly into
liquidation at ruinous losses. The last desperate
remedy of over-trading merchants is now being
resorted to, and bank officers nre importuned to
discount "accommodation paper” in amounts
calculated to attract serious attention. From
this state of affairs to suspension and liquidation
the steps are not long, and no change in the ad
ministration of tlie Treasury can give relief.
Reports are industriously circulated by the press,
and in conversation, that Secretary McCulloch
has determined to stop contraction, ami taken
meusures to ease tho monoy market hy pur
chasing Seven-Thirties with his balances. Tlie
statements are without foundation, but, on the
other hand, there is ample authority for staling
that funding and incidental contraction will be
pursued ns steadily as over. Tlie task ot funding
aud contraction is so large that tlie Secretary lias
no time, if lie had the inclination, to listen to the
lamentations of speculators, who have relused
to listen to warnings and now find themselves
unprepared to harmonize their business witli tlie
movements of the Secretary in tlie performance
of his duty to the solvent part oi the community,
and in behalf of its permanent property.
The Keening Post says :
Wall street is discussing to-day tlie monetary
disturbance that has beeu made during the past
few days. This disturbance appears to be almost
over, and it is attributed largely to the prepara
tions which the national banks seem to regard
as necessary before they can make favorable
quarterly reports. The prevailing opinion seems
to be that the reports so prepared lor are likely
to show unfair averages of tlie condition of tlie
banks, and it is suggested that two changes
should be made in the law. First, that the quar
terly statement, instead of being called tor at
fixed dates, should be made up at irregular in
tervals.
Secondly, that notice should in no case he
given beforehand of the day when tlie statement
will be required. The adoption of this improve
ment will tend, it is claimed, to inspire the banks
with permanent caution, and to compel them, it
they need any such compulsion, to regulate the
business so as to be ever ready to meet tlie eye
of tlie public. The proposed plan, iu addition to
its other attractions, otters tlie ndvange of having
been fully tested under Hie banking law of this
State. *
Philadelphia Financial Matters.—The
Ledger of the 29lli says ;
The demand for money yesterday was even
'renter than on the previous day. Some of our
banks want money as badly as do those individu
als aud firms Hint usuully look to them for ac
commodation. The country banks keep tip their
drain, aud have taken from this city a very large
average amount—probably twice tlie amount
that it was supposed could be spared to them.—
The drain, however, is probably about over. The
demaud bus not been confined to this city. New
York has felt it quite as keenly as have tlie Pliilu
delphia banks. Money on call is seven per cent.
Commercial paper sells at seven per cent., and
at eight to ten for fair names. Accommodation
paper finds little favor. Currency is reported
scarce. Foreign exchange bills at sixty days on
London, 108@108) lor commercial; 108J@109
for bankers; do. at short sight, 109)@109J.
Mohtaages and the Bankrupt Act. A
variety of questions under the Bankrupt Act re
cently passed by Congress, and among which are
some of paramount importance to holders of
mortgages on real estate, is mooted by the New
Orleans Times of recent date, which says:
The question is asked in somo circles, whether
under Hie bonkrupt act, in cases of parties avail
ing themselves of the act surrendering property
which may be under mortgage, the Judge of Hie
United States Court can order mortgages stand
ing against the bankrupt, or any one petitioning
for tiic benefit thereof, can order tlie erasure of
mortgages ou the record of tlie mortgage office ?
It will be remembered that under the act of 1845,
or the last national bankrupt act, the presiding
Judge could direct the erasure of all mortgages;
that the mortgages merely could have a privilege
on the assets or proceeds of the property released.
It will be remembered that the proceeds of much
real estate, sold under the order of bankruptcy,
under that law, did not command one-fourth or
Half the sum for which it was valued or cost. It
will be remembered that tlie real estate of the late
Thomas Banks, who built and erected stores and
buildings in the now first district, went into court
with a bilan of $1,800,000 comprising tbeCity
Hotel, the Arcade, on Magazine street, tlie Na
tional Hotel, on Tcboupitouslas street, between
Gravier aud Natchez, now occupied by 4 stores •
the Commircial Hotel, and other property now"
the most valuable in the city. Tn fine, Mr. Banks
never improved property only in the best loca
tions ; and what is it supposed all this valuable
real estate row worth seven to eight millions oi
dollars, sold for under a decree ot bankruptcy of
the United States ? Merely for lour hundred and
fifty thousand dollars ($450,000.) Thomas Banks
died a broken hearted man. There was no ne
cessity lor his being forced into bankruptcy.”
Tlie New A'ork Times comments upon Hie
above as follows:
Tlie merits of the question nre not all on one
side. If tlie owner of tlie encumbered property
become bankrupt, aud tlie whole ot his assets pass
into tlie bauds of a receiver for the benefit of the
creditors, should the existence ot a mortgage
upon the real part of the estate relieve it from
forced sale? The creditors are entitled to the
entire body of assets, aud, to secure tlie benefit
of all, the power to anticipate the conditions of
a mortgage, and even to difcct its erasure, must
rest somewhere. Of this authority the judge is
the proper custodian.
On the other hand, tlie exercise of the author
ity may, in seasons of business depression or dis
aster, operate prejudicially to tlie rights ot the
mortgage. True, his privilege as a creditor of
the mortgage might remain a first cliarge upon
the proceeds of Ins estate, into which the availa
ble price ot tho real property would enter. Bui
forced sales of lands or houses in tlie midst of
panic are not likely to realize more than a small
portion of their real value. At such a time, hun
dreds ol dollars buy what is intrinsically worth—
and what may he actually mortgaged for—thou
sands. The case cited id tlie statement we have
copied, where less than half a million resulted
from the sale oi property valued at millions, is a
fair illustration of the sacrifices that would fol
low an unyielding exercise of tlie right ol n
judge iu bankruptcy lo order a sale, or course,
as compared with ordinary creditors, tlie mort
gager retains Ilia advantage. But in the instance

SMuUan of m Terrible Iflytlorr-A Child
Devoured by Rlack Nuakcs.
In the oarly part ot (lie month of August last,
a girl Ranted Eliza Drummond, nbout fourteen
years of ago, wbo«e parents live In the town of
AVeat Monroe, near Oswego, New York, leit her
home ono morning lor tho piirposo of picking
berries, and never returned. The most diligent
search was mndo for her, by tbonarents and their
neighbors, but no traces could ho found. Alter
weeks of fruitless search and inquiry, tho afflict
ed parents gave up tlielr child for lost. It wus
reported that a band of roving vagrants had been
seen near the locality about the tlmo of tho dis
appearance, and tho opinion prevailed that the
child had been stolen. Tho event, which created
n profound sensation at tlie time, had almost
passed from tlie minds ol all save tlie stricken
parents, when it was painfully recalled by a re
cent occurrence. On Tuesday last, fivo or six
lads went out hunting in the vicinity, aud, during
the day, came upon a spot where a large number
of black snakes were discovered ana killed.—
The appearance of tlie reptiles in such numbers,
and at tills season of the year, was considered
rciuarkablo, and it was suggested by one of the
pnrty tlmt a breeding den must bo Bomewhere
near. A search was immediately commenced
which resulted in a manner far different from
their expectation.
In the side of n little hill near the edge of a’
swamp was lound a sort of opening which, in
tlie summer, was concealed by tall grass and
bushes. Iu this opening was found a human
skeleton from which every particle of flesh had
been tnken. Tlie bones were as white as ivory,
and all perfect. Near by was a tin pail, in a
rusted condition, and a tin cup. They boys were
terribly frightened, and gave the alarm. The re
mains were taken Irom the mouth of tho den
and on examination showed that the place had
been, and probably now was, a breeding place
for blnck.snakes—Theboldcat hesitated toeuterT

admission of a man s body, jjrew smaller and
tender downward. Lighted balls of hay, soaked
in kerosene, were thrown into tlie cavity, and in
less Ilian filtoen minutes eiglity-two snakes, rang
i»g in length from one and a half to four feet,
were killed. The pail and cap were recognized
hy Mr. and Airs. Drummond as those taken by
their child when she weut away for tlie last time.
Hie physicians pronounced the remains those of
a female child, and there can be no doubt but
that tho poor little girl, while picking berries
within tlie vicinity of the spot’, became tired,
seated herself in tlie slinde ol the opening to this
horrid den, was attacked try ttie reptiles in num
hers and killed.
How to Go to Europe.—Americans intend

accommodations at reasonable prices for (lie voy
age out and bnck. Several steamship companies
announce a system of excursion tickets, at rates
ranging from $180 to $300, in gold, for tlie round
trip, giving the tourist aliout six weeks lor a stay
in Europe.
Thirteen lines of European steamers are now
running regularly Irom this port. Of these, six
issue excursion tickets. Tlie fare ou the London
and New York line is $200, in currency, to Lou
don or Brest and back—tickets available for six
months; by Hie steamer Havana $250 lo $300, in
currency, out and back, passengers being allowed
six weeks’ time in Europe; by the Great Eastern
$100 to $140, iugold, with a reduction of $20 to

A Rich Incident.—A convention of North
Carolina "loyalists” and colored people recently
met in Raleigh. During the proceedings, a rich
incident occurred, which was communicated to
us by a prominent gentleman from this State
who was present on tlie occasion,«nd which we
see noticed in the Raleigh Sentinel. Itseems that
the clerk of tlie convention had inserted tlie
term “colored" on his roll, opposite tlie names
oi tlie colored members. Ou the roll being called
at tlie session referred to, Mr. Col. Rev. James
Sinclair, better known as the “fighting parson "
arose, and moved that the term colored be ex
punged, as not respectful to tlie colored delega
tion. James II. Harris, an intelligent and re
spected colored man, arose, and said lie did not
see any good reason for tlie proposition. Tlie
record was literally true. God liad made them
colored men, and be was not nshamed of any-
fofo? foM Hod had done. He was not asbamed
of his color, and he hoped the gentlemen from
Robeson was not ashamed of his ! The "fighting
parson” caved in.—Columbia Phasnix,
A Queer Will.—Wo have heard of a rather
queer will which was lately admitted to pro
bate in one of the counties bordering ou the
upper Cumberland. A wealthy old citizen had
two sons, one of whom was in the Federal
army, and the other in the Rebel ranks. Du
ring the early part of tlie war, tho old gentle
man was taken suddenly ill, aud wishing to
divide his property equally between his two
Ilenry,
3 osed, a sale in pursuance of the mortgager’s
ruplcy might easily be equivalent to the for
feiture of a large part of tlie amount covered by
the mortgage.
The contingency is rendered more than usual
ly important hy reason of Hie difficulty which is
already experienced in borrowing money on
mortgage. Before the war, a mortgage on im
proved real estate, at a reasonable valuation, was
considered one of the best forms of investment.
It met the two conditions desired by prudent in
vestors—a remunerative rate of interest, ami a
security superior to nearly ail others. One ot
these conditions has been reversed by the war.
Taking tho element of taxation into tlie account,
tho mortgage rate of interest in New A'ork or
New Jersey is on au average two percent, below
tlie rat6 obtainable from government bonds.—
Tbe consequence is, that real estate owners ex
perience much difficulty in borrowing upon mort
gage. This difficulty will be increased if to the
comparative unprofitableness of loaus on mort
gage is to be added the unanticipated risk arising
out of the possible interpretation of Judicial
power under the operation of tbe bankrupt act.

sons, bequeathed to Henry, (tho Federal sol
dier,) all bis slave property, embracing about
fifty negroes, and lo Thomas, (the boy in gray)
his entire landed estate. He died, and thus the
will stands. Both brothers lived to return from
the war, and the gallant soldeir ot the Lost
Cause being perfectly satisfied that slavery was
no more, generously divided the lauds witli his
brother, and both are living happily together
and are bitterly opposed to the Radical pro
gramme.—A as/aiff/e Gazette.
Tim Dubuque Herald relates “a singular af
fair: ’ Brigadier Gcueral Lewis, of Iowa, fell
at Chattanooga and his son, Major Lewis was
aftewards reported dead. The Alajor’s uncle
‘received a certificate from General Halleck,
stating that lie was among tho killed at Fred
ericksburg, By this moans the uncle was de-
ciareu the sole heir of his brother’s property,
lie immediately disposed of it for $150 000
and with the money started for Europe, where
de now resides. After his release from prison,
Major Lewis first heard of the death of his
father and mother, and on writing to his friends
learned that his uncle had sold all of his father’s’
property nnd left the country." Lewis at length
round his uncle living in grand style at Pafis.
I he whole affair was laid before General Dix,
and some of ids uncle’s property attached. It
finally became neccessary to procure additional
testimony from Iowa, and tor Ibis purpose
young Lewis left Paris, and lately arrived, in
feeble health, at Troy, New A'ork."
^ Odd CoNsEquENCEs of a Legal Fiction.—
The Loudon Mark Lane Express states that re
cently in Hie neighborhood of Presburg, in Hun
gary, a woman was charged with being tlie re
ceiver of stolen goods. She liad been a Jewess,
out about six mouths ago she was converted by
a priest of the Church of Rome. Tlie date of
birth runs in Hungary from tlie date ot baptism.
I herefore the woman when ou trial madff the
ingenious plea that she was an infant not come
to years of discretion, and could not legally he
convicted. Tlie intelligent tribunal, after seri
ous cogitation, held her defense to be a good one,
and acquitted tier. Tlie widow now finds her-'
sell to be in an excellent position. Being legal
ly only six months old—though virtually over
forty—.she can use her years ot indiscretion to
thieve or commit oilier crimes without fear of
legal consequences.
John Hundolph Among the Boys
The correspondent ot the (Mitral Prestyt
furnishes some reminiscences of his sohobl,
more than fifty years ago. The celobrafed .Ty..u
Randolph, then nt fho zenith of bis power its a
leading member of Congress, had three wards
(nephews) nt the school (that of Rey. Drury Lacy,
Prince Edward county, Virginia,) nt which he
used to be a frequent visitor, Tho writer says;
"It was Mr. Lacy’s custom to hear his boys
recite their Latin nnd Greek grammar lessons
before breukfust, and I liavo known Mr. Ran
dolph more than once to come from Bizarre,
two miles, ami enter the school-honse by sun up.
At nine o’clock tbe school was formally opened,
when all the boys read verses about in tbe Bible,
until tlie chapter or portion was finished. Mr.
Randolph seemed always highly pleased with
tho exercise, read his verne in turn, and with
Mr. Lacy sometimes would ask questions. On
ono occasion, while reading one of the books
of tho Pentateuch, lie stopped a lad with the
question:
“'Tom Miller, can you tell mewho was Moses’
father?’
“ ‘Jethro, sir,’ was the prompt answer.
“‘AVhy, you little dog, Jethro was his father-in-
law.’
“Then putting tlie question to four or five
others by name, not one of whom could answer,
he berated them soundly for their carelessness
and inattention in reading, saying:
‘“When you were reading last week, William
Cook read tlie verse containing the name of
Moses’ father, and have you all lorgottcn it
already ?’
“Just then a young man caught tlie name,
and, unable to repeat the verso of tho Bihlo,
repeated a part ol a line from Milton—‘The
potent rod of Amram’s son.’ Ac. .—
1 'All,' said Randolph, ‘that is tho way you
learn your Bible—get it out of other books—
wbat little you knew ol it’—and, with an ex
ceedingly solemn manner and tone, added: ‘and
so it is with us nil—and a terrible proof of our
deep depravity it is, that we relish and remember
anything better than Hie book.’
“Tlie very utterance, simple as it was, filled
every one witli awe, and inude him tccl guilty,
while at Hie same time it imparted a rever
ence for tho Bihlo which was never felt before,
und which from one mind at least, will never
be effaced. Air. Randolph was so pleased,
however, with tlie young man who quoted from
his favorite author, that in a short time—as soon,
perhaps, as lie could get it from Richmond—he
presented him with a beautiful copy ot Milton’s
Paradise Lost, witli a suitable inscription in his
own elegant hand writing.”
Incorrect.—AVe find the following paragraph
going tlie rounds of tlie papers :
“Air. Colfax is tlie only man except Henry
Clay who lias been honored with three eletions
to tlie Speakership.”
Air. Clay was Speaker four terms nud two
sessions beside. Nathaniel Alacon, of North
Carolina, was Speaker three terms, and Andrew
Stevenson, of Virginia, was Speaker three terms
and ono session. Air. Varnum, Air. Polk and
aud Air. Boyd were Speakers two terms each.

A horrible suicide is reported from Lerida,
in Spain. A few days ago a man was brought
into tlie hospital of tlmt place in u dreadlul state'
of mutilation. It appeared that lie liad locked
