So far as I have been able to judge the Southern people were as enthusiastic and loyal to the representative of the government as any. I found that the correct and true sentiment and desire of the people was to return to former friendship and goo'd feeling with all sections, and that the sentiment in these (Southern) States was identical with that of the .New England States.—R. B. Hayes, Sept. 25th. “ They will not be simply satisfied with pensioning the rebel soldier, but demand pay for loss and damage to property. ♦ ♦ * • • That the South is a whitmore loyal to-day than in 1861 we do not believe.”—Duncan McArthur Williams. Sent. 27. Crystal Springs, Miss., Monitor: A darkey came into town, a few days ago, driving an ox named Hayes.— While be was in a store making some purchases a farm r came up with a load of fodder and stopped in front of the darkey’s cait. The ox pulled up to the fodder and commenced eating it. In a tew minutes the darkey came out, and seeing Hayes as he was trying to get another bundle, yelled at the top of his voice: “Whaffer is yer eatin’ dat fodder? You kno’s tain’t youne. I sed de berry day dat I name d yer Hayes dat you wnz gwine to take suttitin’ dat nebber h’longed ter yer ! ” He drove off, giving the ox the full benefit of a returning board.

A Coroner’s jury in Arkansas found that a corpse came to its death “by holding five aces. ” China is making vigorous efforts to stop the tide of immigration to the United States. It is suggested to English and American travellers abroad not to have their letters addressed “Esquire,” as foreign postoffices fancy it is a name—hence delays and losses of letters. A good little boy who was kicked by a mule did not say naughty words or go home crying to his mother. He just tied the mule within five feet of a beehive, backed him round to it and let hint kick. The editor of the Chicago Times had the nightmare the other night, and said in an unearthly voice to the apparition that afflicted him, “For heaven’s sake, don’t! I ain’tprepared. Take Joe Medill.” A man in West Virginia was bitten in the foot by a copperhead while hunting, barefooted, recently, and as ter administering the contents of his gun to hia snakesbip, he cooly took out his knife and cut a large piece out of his foot where the fangs entered, thus saving his life. After performing this feat of suigerv, he killed i eight equirrels. He returned home and is -now sitt right.
