I remember a con versation with him on this subject when he displayed thh duly bit of emulation I recall .of liim; He was criticising a new pattern of piddle, the invention of my fyend, Guh Jennifer, aud I mnst say (lenouuoed it eloquently as ruinous to the back of auy horse upon which it was used. His fondness for dogs equalled his Proclivities, and he held a favorite bnll- whieh accompanied him every where aud seemed »s indifferent vo cul tivating auy intimace with the head quarters as his master. The two were inseparable ami seemepd sufficiently for Oich other iu point- of _society. Both had tl& Same aii' of philosophic iudif ierenco reserve, and ee resented equally averse to making confidences; aud it must be added that few advances were made with that end in view by the staff —especially to The bulldog: His an pear-unce and expression of countenance did not encourage intimacy. He was reserved, not to say stern; and the fashion lie had of slowly raising his up- porliji; and uttering a low, subdued growl,generally resulted in tho retreat of the person aiming at cultivating his uc- guaptanggi. _Tlie raised lip revealed u row of white sharp white teeth, end the growl was net reassuring. - I do not remember any oosasion upon v h’ch Col. Grenfelt exhibited much erao- ncable to remember whether we had I crossed at the same point in the moril- iing. but in that case we had done so j without difficulty. Now, however, there seemed to be more trouble, either in consequence, of mistaking the ford, Or for some other reason. Certain it is, that having reached the middle of the river, which is of inconsiderable width, the horses began to descend steadily into deep water, and the surface to rise iu disagreeable proximity to the shoul ders of the animals. Stuart, as usual, made light of this, aud pushed on laughing and singing, when all at once the horse of Cbl. Grenfelt. who was one of the party, plunged forward, rolie over on Lis side and went under, carry ing the Colonel with him. The occurrence was so sudden and unexpected that the members of the staff uttered exclamation's; but a mo ment afterward their fears were reliev ed. Col. Genfelt quickly reappeared clinging in a matter of fact way in nis saddle, and lifted his horse to firm ground without, apparently attaching the least importance t.o the accident. He was drenched aud his face streamed with water, but there was no further indication that he had met a mishap. His countenance wore its habitual ex pression of indifference, aud be made no comment whatever upon the inci dent—quietly riding on, and apparently resuming some train of reflection inter rupted for Ih-i moment The sojourn of Col. St. Ledger Gren : felt at Stuart’s headquarters terminated early in the winter of 1363-4, and as he disappeared as quietly as he ootos, Lis departure did not excite much atten tion. He was lost sight of, and it is doubtful if liis existence was recalled, unless incidentally by any one at the headquarters until intelligence came of his inelnhcnol,' fate. Before speaking of the incident which terminated his life, I shall here repeat the statements made in reference to Iris life, I shall here repeat the stite- rnents made in reference to his career before my acquaintance with him. I employ the word repeal as the particu lars arc not given oil the authority of any one known to me, much less from any. statements made by him to myself. They may or may not bo true; Thp simple fact t hat they are-extraordinary does nut prove that they are not credi ble, iu this age of electoral commis sions, Glassgow Bank failures and res urrectionists of milliouares dead bod ies in crowded thoroughfares, I have no reason to conclude that Col, Greu- fel i's career was uot exactly what it is represented to have bften, and must here guard the reader from taking np tho impression that Col. Greufelt made an unfavorable impression at Gen. Stu art’s headquarters. I have described the stiff old militaire w ith his bulldog and habitual.reserve from the humor ous point of view, but with no intention of calling iris character iu question. If lie was an adventurer unworthy of cred it, he gave no indications of the fact, aud there is no good reason to doubt that bis career had been a very singular one, evan if tho details might have been a little exaggerated. Tue statement referred to are as fol lows: Col. Grenfelt is said to have been the iliogitiai ite sou of a E lglish uolriemau, and to have entered the British army wlnu very y mag.

On one of thes£ ac- 'ious lie had visited his pickets and I shall therefore refer.to them briefly individual and his there is no record. We next hear of the wanderer, of all places in the world, in China, where he joiued the rebels, aud was the sec ond person who entered the F a ace ’of the Emperor when it was stormed and captured. In this assault he received a sabre stroke, marking him from brow to chin—a detail of his appear ance which I think I recall but neg lected to mention in describing his person. How long he remained in Chi na is not stated, or in what direction he wandered afterwards—but no doubt back to Europe, where, “clothed in turban and trousers, he was found by some English tourists in the arrn v of the Sullau.” Four armies had thus numbered St. Leger Grenfelt in their ranks—the English, French, Chinese and Mohammedan—and he had proba bly seen as much fighting of every va riety as auy individual who ever lived. He is next spoken of as lion-hunting in South Africa, and as shipwrecked on the coast of Spain. Finally he crossed the Atlantic to take part iu the Amer- oan civil war, where—he seemed to have a weakness for rebels, to judge from his esposual of the, adversaries of the Emperor in China—he joined the Con federates; the same wandering, home- leas soldier of fortune, but satisfied to live iu tents or bivouao under the open sky, and careless of all things if lie were only in the midst of what was“ going on.” I have no doubt that this was the secret of the old (oldiit’s organization and the explanation of Lis remarkable career. He w reetlees, without home tiesj- martial in his tastes,' and hated inaction. Ho did not seem to be at all ambitious and evidently eared little for personal comfort. He was polite but reserved to ail around him, and iris af fections were apparently confined to his horses and bull-dog. He was certainly a thorough soldier, at least, and must have convinced the Confederate authorities of the fact iu order to secure his oomaiisimi of Colo nel. This rank was bestowed upon hiin^and he was .assigned to duty, a«I have eLcw/u, with Gan. Stuart as Inspector of Cavalry. This, how ever, seems to have become wearisome to him after a while. Winter hud arrived and active operations were over—in Virginia, at least. Col. Grenfelt, therefore, drifted off to the West aua joiued the famous raider Geu. Morgan, where it is said that lie was regarded as “the bravest of the brave.” After this time, for a considerable period, nothing was heard of him. At last intelligence came that he had been arrested upon some charge by the Federal anthoriries iu one of the Northwestern States, and sent us a prisoner to the Federal Botany Bay— the dry Tortugas. Here it is reported, he was treated with great crualty by the volunteer garrison. “For tho hon or of our army be it suokea. ” wrote • me apparently connected with the -fc ederal side, “there were no leguiars at tiro Dry Tortugas, Popinjay lieu tenants kept watch and ward over the manacled lion; drove him to work when the batteied frame w.;s weak, and orturud him when the dauntless spirit, was og its knees in physical languor ’Driven to desperation bv this treat ment Col.

Fight Bxtwxxs Gsssc ajbd ax Sx«nx. —An Esgle, measuring eighty four inches from tip to tip of wings, swoop ed down npon a flock of geese on 'the farm of Samuel AleCune, near Zanes ville, Q., on Monday, and a terrible combat ensued for twenty minutes. Feathers flew in all .directions, the g 'ese standing up heroically to the work. The eagle succeeded in killing one and wounding several others, but was itself captured by a fa-aior in a condition of sore distress. Its naked talons measured two and one-half inch- the ranks down an an review when Mac- Mahon singled him out, and said to an i ^Z'c^iana'if CtonwrdcZ orderly: “Send that officer to me who 1- m « lias a seat likeau English guardsman.”. During the Teeent cold spell presented fo the world. A few weeks ago as our readers have learned by by telegraph some foriy Cheyenne In dians at Fort Robinson were told that it was the intention of the government to return them to their reservation. Probably recollecting v ividly how they had been starved, cheated and swin dled by government Indian agents, and rendered desperate by such recollec tions, they became very sullen, over the news, and informed the United States officers in charge of them that they would rather die than return to the ten der mercies of their despoilers. A sys tem of heartless barbarity wa3 then practiced toward them. They, with their wives and children, were depriv ed of food, fire, aud even clothing, as a means of coecring them into | acquies- cense by starvation and freezing. Hence, though the prairie was covered deep with snow, this band of red men broke away from their guards, and made a despairing effort for liberty aud life, They were fired on and sev eral of their number wounded and killed, but, having returned the fire, e remainder preferred death to sur render, and refused to yield. Since this luxe, they have been reJenttocxly panned by United State* infantry, cavalry and ar tilery, aadijoar dispatch es of yesterday wind up the sickening story with the announcement that “la ter news from the field states that only niue Cheyennes, all of them wounded, we redcap lured. The balance of the party (twenty three in number) were killed. Seventeen are still unaccounted for. It is supposed that some some are dead from their wounds and that,-.the others have escaped.” We submit it that no greater disgrace could be brought upon the country, than is inflicted by this brief sad reci tal of wrong, outrage and murder. The aya’em adopted towards the In- iliaus by the United States awuas to be, iu brief, only to make treaties with them, break the same, rob and swin die them at will, goad them to desper ation, aud then massacre them. This is the same old story constantly repeat ed of our conduct towards the aborigin es. Out of forty men, nine, all wounded, have been captured, twenty- three have been killed, and of the re maiuiug seventeen, it is thought many have died of their wounds. What a commentary upon the greatest gov ernment the world ever saw? Yet we call them savage! Which,in the name of civilization,is most worthy of the term —the Indians of their murderers? Is it any wouder that year after year the taxpayers are called upon to defray the expenses of long and costly Indian wars. One of the most remarkable facts con nected with this wholesale and bloody Cheyenne massacre is the silence of Congress in the face of such an out rage. With the exception of a resolu lion of inquiry regarding the affair, introduced in the Senate by Senator Yooi'hees, oi Indiana, we believe no de nunciation of such barbarity has been ncarl in the National Legislature. We have seen Blame, of Maine, rise in his seat iu the Senate and offer resolutions ueclaring that the negro in the South is horribly outraged. We have seen Edmunds, of Yerment, introducing resolutions of like import, and deman ding that»the man and brother should be proieeted in his rights. We have st un ten thousand dollars appropropri- ed toatenable a Sentorial committee to ir.ivel abont aud regale themselves royal luxury while hunting up these imaginary outrages. Yet though the facts are published openly abroad that Indians, the wards of the nation and the former possessors of our soil, are driven to despair by maltreatment - by United States officials, and are 4 theu decimated by United States troops, not a word have these eminent and model philanthropists to utter in condemna tion. The “poor Africans,” who, un der l he.Ii.ind treatment of the South ern wanes, is rapidly accumulating wealth, being educated, and, as far as possible, being taught to appreciate and enjoy the blessings of civilization in the South, is an object of the tender er (?) soucitode, while the red man is made the object ef robbary by govern ment agenta and food for powder, without arc* an axyrewdon of sympathy over his most unfortunate condition. Buck a state of affairs needs no com ment. It speaks foritself. The negro, who really owes his enfranchisement from babarism to that extinct -“heathen institution.” is an object of regard by Radical philanthropists, because he is a means for making political capital. The Indian is despoiled and murdered in silence, because nothing can be made by espousing his cause.

Has he been guil ty of auy wrong?” ‘Wrong”, said the General, with some warmth. “I will leave you to Judge of that Mr. Hill, who is an able lawyer, in an elaborate argument before the Governor, urged him to indorse the bonds. General Tombs, one of the most profound lawyers in the country, and Mr. Stephens, who were not in terested in the case at all, and many of the leading men of the State were em phatic in the opinion that the law com pelled the Governor to indorse them. I urged him to sign them. The Speak er of the House aud President of the Senate of the Legislature which passed the act in question and its leading members joined in the same opinion. No, sir, the Governor has done his du ty. The committee of the last Legi- tnre, after nearly forty days of investis gation, at the request of the Governor and after sifting every particle of Tes timony and every rumor and every in sinuation by every enemy of the Gov ernor, fully exonerated him in every par ticular, and this committee was com posed of thirteen as good, able and kn~ partial moa as there wen is the Leg islature.” “Were the*« a*4 wgeriftr mt afesr- ty reports;?” “Ok, yes; but’ both reports were e- qualiy emphatic in pronouncing all tho nsinuations against the Governor vile and malignant slanders. The truth is that the Governor'indorsed tho bonds no sooner than he was compelled to do so to save the roads from sucrfice and the State from a violation of its o vu pledge. He would have signed them just when he did, if Mr. Murphy and he rest of us who advised him had ever been heard from at alL H is hesitation ami delay and final action were due solely to his sense of duty to the State. This I know from fnll conference with him long before t- Ley were indorsed. “Will this question be the cause of any division of parties iu yonr State?’ “Oh, no; not at all. There is noth ing ia it, absolutely nothin", to cans or justify or excuse any J breaking ol' parties or the formation of new par ties.”—Baltimore Gazelle. A correspondent of the English Me- chanio gives one or two valuable' hints for ridding, premises of rats. One very good plan he says is to nail a red her ring on the wall of the warehouse or place infested about eighteen inches from the floor, on this, place a brick or a piece of wood near the wall. At an equal distance on the other side set an ordinary rat trap not baited. The rats, iu jumping of from the brick to get tho herring, after a few at tempts are sure to fall down on the trap*—This is a good permanent plar, as it is soin ewhat above their compre hension. If rats have undermined the foundation walls, which they do some times to such an extent as to endanger the building, it is of no use to attempt to stop them out by tamping their bur rows with broken glass bottles, for they work diligently to make fresh ones. A better way is to put a shovel full of dry sand oyer every hole. The rats will soon come up through this, but in so doing lets half of the sand into tho bur row which, uulike earth, they can not either force or carry up again, aud by repeating this at every fresh-opened place their runs become quite fillel up again. By this means I Uave known a granary that was terribly infested wi'li rats qnite cleared of them. All their rif barrows being at last filled with sand they war* eosupellad to iaJta themselves •hewherfc. ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. One hundred Tears ago not a pound of coal, not a cubic foot of illuminating gas had been burned iu this country. No iron stoves were used and no con trivance for economizing beat until Dr. Franklin invented the iron frame stove Which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming in town and coun try was done by the aid of a fire kin dled in a brick ovc-n on the hearth Pino knots and tallow candles furnished light for long winter nights, and sanded fiooi'3 su pplied the place of rngs and carpets. The water- used for house hold purposes was drawn from deep wells by the creaking sweeps. No form of pump was used in this country so far na we can learn, nntil after the present century. There were no fric tion matches in those’early days by the aid of which a fire could be kindled; and if the fire “went' out npon the hearth” over night, and the tiader w;i3 damp, so that the spark could not catch, the alternative was presented of wander ing through the sbow a mile or so to borrow of a neighbor. Only one room in any house was warm unless some of the family were ill. In all the rest the temperature was at zero gmany nights in the winter. Thera i* » dominant feeling in? IU)y in favor of continuing the national task of colonizing the southern provinces of Mouth America, rather than of turning the tide of emigrants into Africa, wliich in spite of the current praise' lavished on it, is, they say “inhabited by population quite unlike themselves, Yet there are certain portions of Italy where an African might pass for white man as to color. A LoookoHye Perhaps The Largest ever made, is now en route for work on the long, heavy grade on the Rooky Monntains of th e Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo Railroad. It lias ten wheels of paper with steel tires, and the fire box is ten feet loug. When in working order it weighs 118,000 pounds. Its weight is so great that the Western roads won’t let it go over their bridges, and it will have therefore to be disman tled. It ran, however, over all the bridges of the Pennsylvania road.

The New York Sirs charges that, even green coffee is adulterated by ne hypocritical set who are contirally charging the people of the South with “frauds.” It says that blue clay is moulded iuto the sha pe of offee seeds and largely misid with the genuine article. The only hope of the South to avoid the adulteration of their sugar, syrup, eoff-e, flour, etc. is either to-raise the articles at home or import them directly from the places of foreign production. « California cactus is one of the newest articles from whieh paper ia made, and a prooaw ha* beea j -teawd ixGanaany by a Mr. Xotdli&saa, •* btattgart, for rendering the fibre a* tha hop p!»at sufficienty tractable for the purpose.
