The people of the entire country,
will be pleased to learn that Gen.
Grant continues to improve in health.
At a cabinet meeting on the 28th
May, the question of reopening the Ex¬
position Was considered, and the result
shown by a telegram from the Presi¬
dent to Senator Gibson, of which the
following is a copy: “The question
of reopening the exposition has been
considered by the eab.net, and they
arc unanimously of the opinion, that
there is no warrant of law for if. and
that it would be uncxpedicut ou other
grounds.’’

Editor Lincolnton News:
Among my misstakes I made, I will
mention one. I new that flowers bsd
charmes for the fair sex, and my girl
was very fond of flowers. So I gather¬
ed a whole lot of wild flowers, aud fixed
up a great big boquet and Handed ii
over to her, thinking it \v. s very nice,
and thought I had struck the key note.
She asked me if I understood the lan¬
guage of fl owere, I told her I did not
She sayed a young man ought to be
very careful , . how , he , gave flowers to . a
young lady, unless he understood their
emblems. I saw at once I bad made a
misstake, and commenced making ap
pologies, and sayed I hope it wouki
give no offence. I thought then my
cake was all doe. She commenced and
gave me a long lecture on botaney.
That killed all my joy, I didn’t know
what to do. She sayed a ‘rose bud'
was the emblem of affection. I didn’t
have a bingle one in my nosegay e, s >
you can emagine my delima. 1 then
concluded I would trye a little poetry,
I hunted a long time, then found a
piece I thought would suite my case,
but I was afraid to hand it over for a
, long ime . as . I i had , made , a mistake . , ,
with the flowers. About that tune a
young J b lady a muturel friend of ours
was on a visit. She was a mighty , nice .
sweat girl. She use to go out on toe
piaz i at moon light, and play the
guitar and sing some of the sweatest
pieces I ever heard. The whippowi.l
would hollow, and their mates would
answer them, and the moon was shead¬
ing her silver light, over the green
woods and flrwers, and ail together
awaken a strange sensation in my brer,
aud it seemed to me I lived a thousand
years in one week. My sleep was
dreamy, and I recon I built as many
aircastles as a first class mecanick
could pull down in a year. I got
chance one day to hand "over my poe
try, and fell over on a couch nearly
-fit to die. While she was reading it'l
concluded I wou ! d peep over and see
how she was taking it, and to my great
supprize her hands was all a trembling,
and her heart a flutterin, and her breat
a heavin, and swallowerin as hard as
she could, like she would choke to
death. I got rite up and stood by hrr
side, and she axed me if I wa’nt a j ib
in. I told her no indeed, I didn’t j ke
at such times as this. I told her 1
prayed jf it wase’nt a proper match
that Bpmething might be put in the
way, 7 Sbe lowed she had ’bout made
up her mind never to marry. I told
fcer to hush, hush, I was just a j iking
about that prayin, and sayed that
mighty easy too, I just ment all m the
poetry and more besides. I jes eat in
and preached a little lo\e serment to
her she sot and listen mighty . clever
teal I had to say. I call her a utile
angel, she lowed I was very much mis
taken if I had taken her to be an angV,
and that I was very much < xcited.
And she thought such things should
be calmly considered, for a great deal
•depended on the choice one made of a
•companion in this life, for upon this
much of our future happiness might
depend. She gave such a moral lec¬
ture it sorter set me baek, ar.d made
me think my chance was sorter slim,
'but I still press my suite, and finerly
she agreed what she would doe after
time to consider the matter. I (old
her I had one request to make, she
that asked she me would what not that take was. always I told her j
to con

{Communicated.]
Editor News :
A few words in reply to your corres¬
pondent, Pinevilie,and I aru done with
this matter. His statement of some
facts is liable to creates wrong impres¬
sion, whether intended or not. He
says, “that when the indictment was
brought in, 1 (he) being a cousin of
the proeecuter, was as I (he) believes
to law and usage stricken off
the Foreman, whilst he the Fore
being connicted with the family
the accused, etc., ('he cousin of the \
parties having married my daughter) \
as he believes, contrary to lav and i
keep hit seat and continued to '
as Fi reman.” Now friend Pinevil e
may be betier acquam cd as to usage.
m such esse, but the law as laid down i
m by the the Code, Judge and in as the given hearing in his of charge Fine-j J
ville, sa.vs that a party within the
fourth degree of consanguinity or af-!
Unity is an incompetent juror. So the
and nut the Foreman excluded the
I will state fiuther, that
Mr. Wood’s, who is TcUted to tht
mother of the accused in the degree of
fourth cousin? who Was clearly legally
competent and also Mr. Culemail, who
was first cousin (fourth degree) to the
father of the accused, and who also was
legally competent, were excused bom
service in this case. The public can
judge of the fairness of my actions in
this matter, lfe says also, “that I
would make the impression abroad that
'he i e iple of Lincoln are ready t > u;>
h ;ld crime and so forth.” Now fiiend
Pine ville, my only obj -ct in that com¬
munication, was to repel a slanderous
assault made upon my fellow jurors aud
myself, in a communication in the
Washington G „ ette and had n0 re{ .
ereuce to any other party or thing, and
as to the people < f Lincoln condoneing
crime, the record of the county speaks
for itself and neids no defease from
-,nv body.
And now in conclusion, I can assure
Piutville, that I will go as fir as he or
any other man in ferre ing out and
punishing ciime when proven, but
Heaven forbid, that myself or the peo¬
ple i. f Lincoln should ever be guilty of
subjecting an innocent party to puu
ishment for a crime, without legal proof,
Better that ninety-nine guilty go free
than that one innocent man should
suffer.” I am now done with a corres
