GEN. R. E LEE.
Lee made for himself an immortal name.
One other, only, had just such fame :
Ere the Lion was laid in his grave,
The Hyenas began to howl and rave.
From tha Press it is clearly seen
The beasts were few and far between ;
A wretch who wonld asperse Lee's reputation,
Should be outlawed by a civilised nation.
Whilst a planet revolves in its sphere,
nis memory to liberty will be dear;
The hero has landed on Jordan’s shore,
The road that Washington traveled long before ;
His countrymen should not repine and.weep,
Because the warrior has fallen to sleep ;
His mortal remains lie under the sod.
His spirit has fled to its righteous God ;
The angels met him on the way,
From Heaven the Christian could not stay.
In paying his last and greatest debt,
His sun in glory has forever set.
When his body sank into the earth.
Heaven gave a new-born epirit birth,
Laurels.which entwined his brow here below,
Makes his angelic face the brighter glow.

My gel tin’ the best of my wife’t

rec< r l. I’ll tell you how it w«s.->^
You must know that he’s monttrous
stingy. The complaint seemt to run
in the family, and everbody round our
parts used io notice that he never by
any chance asked anybody to dine
with him. So one day, just, for a
chunk of fun, l said to a friend of mine,
Jeddy Dowkins—a dreadful nice fel
low is Jethly—“I’ll bet you a penn’
orth of shoestrings’ gmst a row of pine
that I get old Brn Merkins, that’* my
wife’s father, to ask me to dinner,”
“Yeou get eout,” said Jeddy ; “why
yeou might as well try to coax a cat
into a'showerbath, or get moonbeams
eout of eowcumbers.”
“Well,” said I, “I’m going to try.”
And try 1 did, and 1*11 tell yeou now
I went to work.
Jistas old Ben was sittin* down to
dinner at 1 o’clock, I rushed up to the
house, at a high pressure pace,,red hot
in the face, with my coat tails in the
air, my j|eyes rollin’ about like bil
liard-balls in convulsions. Rat-tat-
lat—ding-a-ling-sling ; I kicked up
an awful rumpus, anil in a flash out
came old Ben himself. I had struck
the righ minii. He had a napkin un
der his chin, and carvin’-knife in his
hand. I smelt thedinneras he opened
the door.
“O, Mr. Merkins,” said T, “I’m tar
nation glad to see you. I feared you
moughtn’t be at home—I’m almost
out of brealh, I’ve come to tell you I
can save you a thousand dollars.”
“A thousand dollars,” roared the
old man ; ami I defy a weasel to go
“pop” tpiicker than his face burst in
to smiles.
A thousand dollars! Yeou don’t
say so ! Du tell !”
‘•Oh!” said I, 1“ see you are havin’
dinner neow. I’ll go un dine myself,
and then I’ll come back and tell you
all about il.”

The following extraordinary state
ment appears in a Belgian paper call
ed the Nodvetles du Jour, from one o»
their correspondents at the seat of war,
whicn note was conveyed to Brussel,
by a carrior-pigeon :
“Paets, October 1.—Nada returned
yesterday to Paris- His return was
not effected iwithaut much trouble, al
though hie balloon was favored by a
good wind since bis departure from
Tour*. Bat I wili n»rrate the facts in
their chronological orJer. He left
Tours at 6 o’clock in the morning, and
the bold aeronuat arrived in viaw of
Paris at 11 o’clock, floating about 5,000
meters above the front of Charenton.
At the same time as the Imerptde—
which was the name of Nader’s bal
loon—appeared, a second balloon was
observed in the horixon. Nader wae
seen to dispey a srteamer with the
French national color*. Immediately
another national flag floated from the
car of the other balloon.
Vigerous hurrahs and cries of ‘C’est
Durouf!’ proceeding from the front,
greeted the appearance of the two aer
onauts, whose balloon gradually ap
proached. When they were within a
short distance of each other, suddenly
a loud report was beard in the air, fol
lowed bv a series of explosions. These
were nt 6rst thought to be demonsta
tions or signals of victory, until Nadar
was seen to fling himself into the net
work of his balloon and to cling to its
sides. During this time the other
aeronaut continued discharging shots
at Nadar, which were traced in the
sky by their luminous effects. The
Intrepid a descended rapidly, and it
appeared to the spectators below that
tome incomprehensible event had taken
place above.
But mark what the French flag in
the neighboring ballooa had come to.
It bad been removed, and a black yet-
tew standard was observed to be float-

Falling in Love.—The Saturday Re
view says : The man who likes ehatly
woman finds his doom in a girl who
never opens her lips ; the cynic who
hau s bread-aiui-bmttr trembles before
a miss iu her teens ; the prim young
neophyte of the parsonage worships
the horsiest of Diana. No doubt there
is a method in all this madness, anil a
philosopher yet to come will rescuethis
bit of outlying existeuoe from the realm
of caprice. But, as yet, nobody has
brought love within the calculation
ot chance. It is just as impossible as
joy yourself, like a good fellow, and
have a snack with me. 1 am anxiousto
hear what you4iave to say.
I pretendecT to decline, savin’ I’d
come back ; but I’d thoroughly stirred
up the old chap-’s curiosity ; and it en
ded by his fairly pullin’ me into the
house and I made a rattlin’ dinner of
pork and beans.
I managed for some time to dodge
the main point of his inquiry. At l«*l
l finished eating, and there was no
further excuse for delay; besides old
Ben was getting’ fidgity.
‘ Come, neow,” said he* “no more
preface. About that thousand dollars;
come, let it- out.”
“Well, I’ll tell you what.” said I,
“yeou have a darter, Misery Ann, to
dosposeof in marriage, nave vou not-?”
“What’s that got to do with it?” in
terrupted he.
“Hold your proud steeds don’t run
off the irat.k —a great deal to do with
it.” said I. “Neow answer my ques
tion.”
“Well,” said he, **1 have.”
“And yon intend, when she marries,
to give her SI0,000 for a portion ?”
“I do,” fie said.
“Well neow, there’s the pint I’m
coming tew Let roe have her, I’ll
take her with 9,000. ft,000 from SI0.-
000 according’ to simple substruction,
jist leaves $9,000, and that will be
clean profiit—saved as slick as it whis
tle!”
The next thing I knew there wag a
rapid interview going on between old
Ben’s loot and my coat tails—and I
am inclined to think the latter got the
worst of it.

A Northern tribut* to Gsxbral
Lee.—the Cincinnati Equirer pays the
following handsome tribute to Gen.
Lee :
The world knows of his virutes and
his private worth, and the men who
have commanded armies can bear wit
ness to his valor and skill as a man of
arms. He was the great General of
the rebellion, and compared with him
the bloody Corporal who aits in the
White House to-day sinks in the scale
as would a John Balfour of Burley, if
weighed with Miltiades. It was hi*
strategy and superior military knowl
edge which kept the banner of the
South afloat so l ing, and the campaign
of the Wilderness, the defence of Rich’
mond.and the bold advances into Ma
ryland and Pennsylvania, which only
failed because of Insufficient numbers
established him l«ng before the close of
the war as one whom the powerful
press of England might well proclaim
“The Great Captain of the Age.”
There is no man so bigoted to-day
as not to believe that; it Grant had
commanded the ill-provided, half-fed
army which stood like a wall of fire
around Bichmond, and the command
of that grand army which went doifre
into the Wilderness could have been
given to Lee, the flag of the Union
would have Hoaleii over the Confeder
ate Capital long before it di^h.
•nd who ba*n following the aerail com
batants throughout this exciting strug
gle rushed forward, and, surrounding
the balloon received their champion
God know* in what condition and than
all hastened off atfull speed to the Prus
sian advanced post*. In the meantime
Nadar descended safely at Caren-
ton, where he still remains.”
JaikioG’s Msiksr.
An anecdote relative to his parting
from his mother in his outset in life
illustrates this as prominent in the at
tributes of hi* nature at that time.—
The writer heard him narrate this
affair after his return from Washing
ton, when his last term in the Pre
sidential office had expired.
When about to emigrate to Tennes
see, the family were residing in the
neighborhood of Greensboro, N. C.
“I had contemplated thi* step
for some months,and had msdc arrange
ments to do so, and at length had ob
tained my mother’s consent to it. All
my worldly goods were a few dollars
in my purse, some clothes in my sad
dle bags, a pretty good horse, saddle
and bridle. The country to which I
was going was comparatively a wild
erness, and the trip a long one, beset
by many difficulties, especially from
the Indians. I felt, and so did my
mother, thit we were parting forever.
I knew she would not recall her prom
ise ; there was too much spunk in her
for that, and this esused ms to linger a
day or two longer than I had intend
ed.
“But the lime came for the painful
parting. My mother was a little, dum
py, read headed Irish woman. Well,
mother, I am ready to leave, and must
•ay farewell.’ She took inv hand, and
pressing it, said ‘Farewell,’ and her
emotion choked her-
“Kissing at meeting* and partings
in that day was not so common as now.
I turned from her and walked rapidly
to my horse.
“A* I mounted him she came out of
the cebin wiping her eyes with her
npron, and came to the getting-over
place at the fence, ‘Andy,’ said she
(she always called me Andy), ‘you are
going to a new country and among a
rough people. You will have to «a-
pend on yoursalf and cut your own
way through the world. I have noib-
ing to give you but a mother's advice.
Never tell a lie, nor sue anybody for
•lander nor assault or battery. Al
ways settle them cases youreelf.* I
promised, and I have tried no keep
that promise. I rode off some two
hundred yards to a turn in the path,
and looked back ;she was still stand
ing al the fence and wiping her eyes.
I never saw her alter that.” Those
who knew him?be*t will testify to this
last promise made his mother.
A man in Kansas City, Missouri, pays
his wife a regular salary ef font dollars
par week te keep her month shut. Every
time the speaks to Liao, except when ab*

The Virtues of Lazy Men.—The lazy
men ia always too good-natured. He
never flies into a passion. He might
erewl into one, but the idea ol his fly
ing into anything is preposterous. Who
ever heard ofalsxy man breaking in
to a bank where a crowbar had to be
used, or drilling into a safe ? Nobody.
He rarely lit* about hi* neighbors, for
it would be too much exertion, but he
can lie at a bar-room all day. He is
of inestimable service to a billiard sa
loon, keeping the chair warm and
watching tha game, for few would
care to play where there are no spec
tator#. The t*azy man never gels up
revolutions insurrections, or other pop-
alar excitement*, and don’t make &
nuisance of himself by tramping round
the country,making incendiary speech
es to promote public discontent. In his
own neighborhood he is never a busy
body in other people’s affairs. Lazy
men don’t disturb the quiet of peaceful
neighborhoods by putting up factories,
furnaces, and such abominations.
The Diamond Fields of Georgia.—Dr.
M. F. Stephenson, of Hall county, in
a communication to the Gainesville
“Air-Line Eagle,” says :
We are glad to see in the Northern
and European papers, that much ex*
ertemen! prevails on the subject of
South African diamonds, which are
now being found over a space of 1,000
square miles of great value. This
will react on our section, which, from
every geological indication, and its pe
culiar mineralogy, will ultimately—
whenever developed, yield more aod
finer ones than South America or Afri
ca. Our opinion is predicated on the
fact of over forty having been picked
up by the gold washers in every depos
its mine from Hall county, Ga., for six
hundred miles, to Virginia, some of
which were of.much greater value
then any yet found in Africa. Al! we
want is a little capital, only $1 000 or
2,000, to develop the fact again, and
drew the attention of capitalists to the
subject, who can introduce diamond
miners who understand washing for
fhem. By this course, I have no hesi
tancy in saying, that in six months the
most brilliant success would attend
the experiment.
Married Men.—There is an ex
pression in the face of a good married
man who has a good wife that a bach
elor’s cannot have, it is indescriba
ble. He is little nearer the angels
than the prettiest young fellow living.
You can see that his broad breast is a
pillow for somebody’s heaJ, and that
iiUie bands pull his whiskers. No one
ever mistakes the good married man.
It is only the erratic one that leaves
you in doubt. The good one can pro
tect the unprotected females, and make
bimseif generally agreeable to the la
dies, and yet never leave a doubt on
any mind that there is a precious little
woman at borne all the world to him.

Who Won The Prize.—At the
Catholic Fair at Atlanta the “facina-
ting” Miss Gussie Mitchell, having re
ceived tha highest number of votes—
was awarded the silver tureen offered
as a prize to the most popular young
lady by the Slipper Club, of Columbus
Ga. The popularity seems deserved,
as <re think the lovely being who won
it slippered several members of the
club during her brief stay in our city,
and it i* proper she should receive the
reward of well doing.
The “beautiful and accomplished”
Miss Mary Grant, having received the
next highest number of votes, won the
set of jewelry^
Having setflk beith ladies, we adopt
as most deserved the descriptive ad
