A correspondent writing from Wash ington, Va., says ; In a log cabin un der a spur of the Blue Ridge Moun tains, and near the village of Washing ton, in Rappahannock county, Va., lives a man whose career has been a remarkable one. For many years of bis life he was literally a beggar on horseback. Born of the shiftless race to be seen in those mountains, he found himself soon after reaching his majority the head of a family, con sisting of a Wife and a numerous brood of children, for whose maintenace such labor as he was willing to perform was utterly inadequate. In this state of affairs he naturally sought assistance from the country folks around him, and to such good puiposc that he has encouraged to extend his field of op erations, and no man became more regular in P.Uendancn on the quarter ly terms of the Superior Court than “Kit Jenkins.” By dint of earnest solicitations he managed to col’ect enough from politicians, lawyers and clients assemoledon these occasions to purchase a somewhat aged and atten uated steed and the second yeat after the close of the war found in him “A Beggar on Horseback.” In the first company of infantry that marched from the neighborhood to the first bat tle-field of Mantissas under the com mand of Capt. T B Massie were en rolled two scions of the Jenkins fam ily. One of them was cither killed in battle or died in some hospital, and “Kit’ did not fail to reinforce his ap peals for help by recounting this fact. At first his circuit was within a radius of five miles, and every farmhouse within that distance of his inounta n hut received a visit f. om him at least twice a year. He went prepared gen erally wi h a bag large enough to hold a side of bacon and half bushel of meal, with room also for such favors in shape ofcoffee,sugar and tobacco as he could obtain. Alwajs respectful and presenting a countenance calcu lated to soften the stoniest heart, he was seldom sent away empty-handed. By degrees ho enlarged hi. bouhtlx, and in the last year of hie peripathetic career wasofton heard of in towns fifty or sixty mile? away. Once he crossed the Potowuo river into Maryland and returned to his home by wny of Washington, in which city he was duly honored by notices in Borne of the nowspnpsrs. But it is of his last trip that lie speaks with great pride, for it ws then that he had the honor ol ring ing the bell at the front door of the guberuntorinl mansion in Richmond, Just what happened to him after bell had sounded •Kit.’ has neyer clearly related, however, the next morning found him asltido the old bay nag whose bead was pointed towards the borne of Jefferson at Charlottes ville, There he created no little merriment and acquired much from the students ol the university, His appearance on his return is said to have resembled that of one ot Mos by’s scouts after a visit to the house of tome loyal Dutchman in the val ley. jirg wants lor the coming winter were supplied, but at tho ex pense of the liftrof his faithful com panion. After l.ie death of his horse lie gave up his wandering, but does not allow these within reasona ble range to forget him or his ne cessities, At hog-killing times there are tew of the farmers around who are not willing to put by a por tion for the old man. At May and June courts, #liett most of the Im portant business of the fa. mers is settled, ‘Kit's’ small figure may still be seen and if his Jilt tie eyes have lost somewhat of th.ir keen ness, and if the black of his board has given place to gray, he is none the less ready to bandy j ikes or re turn flattery lot kind words or deeds. On electi m day he never misses, and once havining promised his vote for a candidate no soft words or proffered bribes have been found powoffi’l enough to .bake the loyaltyalty of this prices of Beg- B ar ', Southern Intelligence.

The sum was f 5,000. It is estimated that in the two Car olinns, Georgia and Louisiana a total population of about 200,000 people, white and colored, are dependent up on the cultivation of rice.

Anna Cora Mowutt—Misfortune sprinkles ashes on the head ot man hut falls like dew on the head of the woman and brings forth germs of strength of which she herself had no conscious possession.
