MISCELLANY.
GEM. ROST. E. LEE—A SKETCH.
[From the Richmond Dispntch. .
Robert E. Lee was bom at Stiytfonl,
Jn 1806. His family has been distin
guished in Virginia for two hundred
years. Two of his grand uncles were
signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. His father was the famous
1 ‘Light Horse Harry, ” of revolutionary
inme, who served several tertns in the
Federal Congress and ns Governor of
Virginia, and whose first wife was also
ft Lee. Robert E. Lee was the issue
of a second marriage—the second son
of Henry Leo and bis wife Anne,
, daughter of Charles-Carter, of Shirley.
As, however, ho borrows no greatness
from his ancestry, but was himself the
'‘greateskof a great- line,” we shall say-
no more as to his family.
'Robert E.Jjce entered West Point
Academy in 18*25, and graduated at the
end of theusual term without having
-fed a demerit mark. 'In 1829 ho was
appointed brevet second lieutenant,
and assigned to the corps of typograph
ical engineers. He scryed for several
years in thisAorps.' In 1832 lie was
married to Miss : Custis, ttie daughter
of George Washington Parke Custis,
the adopted son of George Washing
ton. In 1836 he was made first lieu
tenant, and. in 1838, captain. During
the Mexican war ho was on lho- staff
.first of General Wool, nnd then Gener
al Scott, ns chief engineer.
At the batik* of Cerro .Gordo, April
18,1847, he was breveitiil Major for
gallantry. At ^:Chepultej>ec, lie was
wounded September 13, 1847, .and was
; jhrevetted lieutenant colonel- General
Scott repeatedly spoke of him; in his
dispatches, as remarkahlo for hie gal
lantry. Colonel Lee was next appoint
ed q member of the- Board of Engiri-
«ers. In 1852-lie became auperintend-
- eat of the West Point Academy. In
1855, he was assigned to service in a
'cavalry, regiment, wtoch took him to
the West. In 1859, he was sent to
Jisrner’s Ferry to put down the John
Drown-i-aid March 16, 1861, he was
made colonel of cavalry in the United
ihates army. His rcsignition of the
office in that army was dated April 20,
1861. ~~
' Early in 1861, the convention of
Virginia selected General Lee as com-
mender-in-chief of the forces ' of tliis
less importance during 1864, and the
beginning of 1865. April 2d, 1865,
occurred the evacuation of Richmond,
and began the retreat of General Lee’s
army from Petersburg. April 9, he
surrendered a skeleton of an army to
overwhelming numbers. And thus
ended his military career.
In August, 1865, General Lee was
made President of Washington Col
lege. His name and fame soon made
that: a popular institution. He con
tinued to hold the position until his
death.
THE HOG.
HE IS EULOGIZED BY CHICAGOAN.
A writer in the Chicago Post grows
eloquent in praise of the hog. We
quote:
The hog has been in disrepute for a
long time,- at least ever since he began
to play-Ids part- in the ancient relig
ions. It is fashionable to ridicule and
denounce him, to call him a filthy
brute, and to insist that he is the dire
author of leprosy, consumption, can
cer, scrofula, and the most disgusting
diseases that- afflict humanity.- Tins
is the teaching of prejudice not of
science.
The hog outlives all hostility, and
laughs, so to speak, at the success of
Ids slanderers. Still is -the reeking
roast pig .the sacrifice of many a din
ner-table and still is, the rural ceiling
festooned with the savory sausage and
the smoke-lionse fragrant with ham.—
We deal with facts not sentiment. The
is a true cosmopolite—a citizen of the
world. He increases and multiplies
and inherits every part of the habita
ble globe. He is as ubiquitous as the
bat. He dons not stand in high rep
ute fordds manners but he is most ac
commodating, thriving with equal
content in the sty of the rich and the
kitchen of the indigent. He wallows
sometimes, but naturalists tell us that
he does this for the sake of cleanliness
wMch. is next to godliness—for the
same reason that the Pacific islanders
grease themselves. Among his quaint
peculiarities are his grunt of satisfac
tion and Ms squeal of remonstrance
and reproach. He should never be
fed till lie stops his squealing; itis the
approved method of breaking him of
the habit
Homer in Ms Odyssey honored the
swine-keeper with the confidence of
Ulysses—and why not? The hog,
culled stupid, is really the most enter
prising and sagacious of animals. The
gamekeeper of Sir Henry Mildmay
actually broke a sow to hunt game in
the woods; ahdslie ran in the hunt
with wonderful: success. She would
track game, band mid stand; and point
partridges, pheasants, snipes, and was
us skillful as a bred pointer. She
would bound in respose to a whittle
and would wag her head and squeal
“Cursed be he that breedeth
and the history of the Maccabees tells
us that the scribe Eleazer walked
straight- to the tortures of persecution
rattier than eat a slice of spare-rib, he
roically preferring the martyr’s stake
to the pork steak. This animal has'
been under the bun of many religions.-
The Mohammedans leamed_fe,nT the
Jews, as the Jeurs ljqiL previously
learned from the Egyptians, to hate
him because M:-perversely declined to
-‘rf>ew4hg ffid;” but lie still
to masticate and -diges't coi

The hog is the product of nature’s
most economical thought. There is no
port that cannot be utilized. His

as often as'twice ayear. The descend

young for a litter,- would amount to

Shot as a Medicine.—Dr. M
dieu, of Prance, has revived ttie' w
practice of shot for,b£Uious, : colic. THk
method is, to take Noi ’j5, shot, after
carefully washing them with sweet oil,
and give a desert spoonful every half
hour. He claims that in five or six
hours the vomiting ceases. The edi
tors of the ‘Pacific Medical and Surgi
cal Journal,’ relate the following anec
dote, illustrative to this treatment: A
clergyman was token very sick and
stopped at the house of a good old
lady, who was familiar with the treat
ment, who stated that she had no shot,
but a bullet wMch would answer • the
purpose. She gave it to the divine,
who after being assured of its efficacy,
swallowed it, and to his joy and sur
prise found that in a very short' time
he was entirely relieved of the colia—
Before leaving, he expressed some,
doubt to the ; old-lady about the piece
the bowels. “Oh, my,”. she replied^
‘ “you need have no anxiety about that,
as it has been through me ten or
twelve times." '

Result.—A singular death occurred
in Tishomingo county, Miss., a few
d lys ago. Mr. Pennington, a stout,
hemthy farmer,'had "a Slight chill last
Sunday. The day before he was in
excellent health. Monday morning
he felt the approach of another chill,
and lay down on the bed. After lying
awhile he remarked that he had heard
that spider webs “were good for the
chills.” He rose from the bed, and
gathering from the walls or ceiling of
the room a web, in wMch were three
“spider balls” as they are colled swal
lowing them. Immediately there was
heard within his chest a faint sound
as if the ball had burst, and in ten
minutes he was dead. Very soon Ms
throat, lipsjand the whole of Ms face
were gte&tty swollen by the action of
the poison. Who has not seen hun
dreds of yo:.ng ipitleri, not i s 'arge as

balls whefi broken open? And who
but this ill-fated Mississippian would
ever have thought of swallowing a

In a certain town in New Hampshire
there lives a man who is said, to be
afraid of neither man nor spirit, and
whenever a joke has been practiced
upon him he has always withstood
the test-. Not long since an old gen
tleman died in the neighborhood, and
our hero was to “watch” with the
corps. So, some of the “jokists,”
knowing him, thought it a good chance
to see if he could be “scart.” They
procured a couple of cats, tied their
tails together, and at midnight threw
them through a window intojh fi
then got back into -»• -xr6Slo see the

loin that'stood near and went for
the cats. Now the “old gent,” who
lay stiff on the bed, had been troubled
with the rheumatism' and when he
died vvas crooked up almost double,
so that when he .was “laid oiit,” it was
necessary to tie the corps with large
cords. 1 -Jim, in swinging the broom
happened to Mt one of the ropes and
it became loose, consequently the
corpse came right up. to a sitting pos
ture,-and sat facing Jim witti wide-
open eyes. Jim, , turning to attack the
cafe, 'tow the new position of the dead
man; but instead of being frightened,
he raised-the broom," and with it struck
the corpse a rattling blow on the head
exclaiming, “Yon Be down, blast you!
I want none of your assistance to get

“jokists” now new that Jim could be
fairly classed among the unterrified,”
and therefore sloped.

though orator and poet be of this hun

mythologies, some swing and verge for

servatives seems to favor the impeach
ment of Governor Holden for arrest
ing and imprisoning citizens - in viola-
of the State constitution, and of Chief
Justice Pearson for denying to tiiose
citizens the remedy and reBef guar-
ahteed by said constitution. Popular
meetings are being held to urge this
measure 1 by the Legislature. The
friends of Judge Pearson contend that
he should not be impeached, because
his errors were those of omission mere
ly; but it is unsweree that the omission
to perform a Mgh and sacred duty is
as much a crime us a positive act.
The Senate has declared a vacancy-
in Caswell county, where a free elec
tion- ms prevented in August last by
Holden’s mOitia, and authomed tho
Governor to issue his proclamation for
a new election.
