Tbi nomination of a colored man Dy the Democracy is equivalent to a confession of defers in advance. When they have any bope of success they put none but White Liners on guard.--J ournal. . The insult offered the colored men by the Republican convention was equivalent to Baying to ' them, We can Bucceed without your assistance.. The Democratic "White 'Liners' were more liberal than the Republican White Liners, and the colored liners see-the point. - TEERepublican organs which applaud perjury as a means of electing a president, have adopted a method of lying which they believe will-help their cause amazingly. It is to publish interviews with distinguished Southern leaders or Democratic senators who preface their remarks wit J a request that their names be withheld from the public.This request the conspirator organs readily grant, and then the wholesale lying proceeds. The New York Tribune dealslargely in that kind of literature. New'Yobk has a society for the encouragement ef moderation in drinking alcoholic beverages. At a recent meeting the secretary f the society, in nls address, told his audience that "the time had passed when a sen'sible man would say to an intelligent audience, in the -expectation of being believed, 'that those who deal in alcoholic drinks are 'murderers, and that all who drink are on 'the-down ward road to hell." - The society "offers four forms of pledges. . The first, of a red color, is a pledge ; of total abstinence". The -second is white, and binds the signer not to drink - during business hours. The bl-ae pledge prohibits treating at public bars, and the hut, on which is a flag of red, white and bluet limits the., signer to nothing stronger than wine and beer, and permits these only at meals and in moderation. The pledges all begin with the words: I hereby solemnly pledge my sacred honor,' and no appeal is made to God for help. ' Mr. Hadley explained this omission by Baying that here tofore 'entirely too much responsibility has been placed upon the Almighty,y' The necessity for throwing away large sums of money on envoys and plenipoten tiaries is not very apparent to the average voter. ' "We have," says the Boston Globe, "got along very comfortably for some time without a 'literary feller at Berlin; Maynard is away from his post visiting friends in this State; Stoughton got sick at St. Peters burg, and is traveling for hfs health; Lowell finds nothing to do in Spain, and is coming home for a vacation; Welsh discovers that . his only duty is to spend more money . than he gets, and talks of resigning. Noyes is tag ging' around after Grant j' Seward does more solid work defending himself from investi gation at Washington than he eyer did in China; .Marsh is too'sick' to attend to busi ness; Foster is coming home to run for the Senate. -Really, it seems as if we could get along without any of them." - - -. .

Dsmocratic majority in Congress is in the interest of the people. The Democracy fully understand the policy . and purpose of the Republican conspirators, and are seeking by entirly legitimate means to releve ' the statutes of some of the most odleas and - infamous legislation that aver disgraced , the country. In doing this, however, the Democrats in Congress are; not depriving the con spirators of any rights or priviliges that belong to them. They are permitted to

their stock of wind, demagoguery and malice, and when all of their arguments, sophisms, threats and falsehoods have been demol-I ished the vote is taken, and the "revolution" proceeds.- Referring to the action of the Sen-; ate, which, according to the assertion of conspirators and their organs, is engaged in get ting np a revolution, the Boston Post remaika that "hitherto, under the weary and grinding Republican regime, it was impossible to do such a thing as the Senate has just done in the case of Senator Bell. Let but the suggestion be made that it was to be proposed to admit a Democratic Ssnator from Bonth Carolina or Louisiana to a seat, and every Republican member was ' sure to be in his place and every device set in active opera tion to prevent to much as a direct approach to the question. Nothing like fiebate was tolerated. The Republican' Senate would either go into executive session -or adjourn outright rather than tolerate the fair presentation of such a proposition -on its simple merits. Bat a Democratic Seaate not only debates a proposal to admit a Republican who claims a seat by gubernatorial appoint ment merely, but actually admits the claimant against the arguments of some of the best Republican, legal members of the body.!

Every time it; revolves some great principle of government is brought iato bolder prominence.

T5F.ll AT RICHARD iiTicYLO'St-

' it K J.. 1 Life and Incidents of the Late Distinguished Confederate General, As Written by Colonel Preston Jonnxton, of Virginia. t . " General Richard Taylor, of whose life the following ia a brief sketch, died at New York on Satnrday, April 12, alter a long and painfal illness " '-'" . 1 ' ".' ' " " - This melancholy intelligence . revives sadly and suddenly the images of an epoch which though 34 years removed from us in noint of actual time seems to belong to a re mote antiquity, so profoundly changed are all the - conditions of onr natural befeie. nolitioal, social and commercial, node the hero of Buean Vista .was borne on the enthusiasm of n exalting and united people into the presidencr.- .Whatever else may bavQ been aiodified for the better among us since 1843 the popdar model ot an Ameri can miliU-ry idol has not been., zechary Ttyior, who 30 yet it ago was th e most powerful and popular scan in the United States, was also the mest modest and tke most simple-kearted mart in the Unite States. He can not be better ' described than in the words -of Colonel Preston Johnston, of Vir ginia. , "Without ever stri ing for fame or power, thev had corns to him unsousht as the re wards of duty ?ell performed. He bed been a successful general under adverse influences, and the popular imagination caugbt at the salient points of the man and made him for the moment its idol, loeconndeace ot tne people has rarely been given on better guarantees. The nickname 'Rough and Ready' indicated certain superficial traits, but some of the able3t and wisest of the men who knew him well regarded him as a very great man and extraordinary soldier. He was a gentleman born, and had inherited a good estate which by careful management beceoce a great fortune. He was a good neighbor, a kind friend aad a thorough master ot the practical business of war in this country. Ee was truthful to bluntsess, resolute to stub bornness, sagacious and absolutely fearless. He had great common sense, and was alto gether a grand, simple, noble old man. It is not strange that ween the people once turned their eyes upon this massive, some what rugged figure, its very imperfections were seized upon as signs of better things. Chough General Taylors pen, like his thought, was lucid and direct, he was slow of speech, and before an audience utterly incapable of I oratorical effort. 'Deeds, not words,' was the ready apology." In short. he was an admirable and heroic character of type fading, if not lost, among our public men. President Taylor's only son. Richard, was named after his grandfather, a hard-fighting colonel of the JNinth lrginia regiment of the line in the Revolutionary war. With some underlying and inherited traits which proved him his father's son, Richard Taylor Signally marks the progress of our country from its primitive virtues to a more elegant and refined civilization. All the results of more complex social conditions, of a more varied experience and of the influence of European manners found expression in his acts and character. With a frame and intel lect more delicately organized, a nature open and sensitive to the kaleidoscopic world of thought and material development, a subtle and analytic mind, a vivid imagination, a restless energy, a facile pen, an eloquent tongue, the finished manners of the courtier and man of the world fitting like a silken mantle over certain chain armor habits of command and native haughtiness what was there left to remind in of' Zachary Taylor? Nothing outward to the eye. Bnt this gentleman, whose talk was too dilettante for the multitude, had fiber with the twist of the original stock. To "Old Zick's" stubborn tenacity and intrepidity he added a slicht touch almost of fierceness; to his shrewdness a tinge of cynicism; but with wider selfconEciousnesa he possessed that clear insight into men ana tneir motives, that aggressive habit, that ability in organization and ad ministration and those powers of combina tion which go so far to make a successful general. He was this. He was more. He was an able general. In the opinion of sound military critics the late sectional war did not develop many men capable of commanding a large army, but Richard Taylor was one of these. His political sagacity was great, and if his poDular talents had been at all com mensurate with his address ia council he would have wielded a commanding influ ence. As a force in Southern politics he was definitely ten in the days when General Grant was supervising the process by which Mr. Tilden was counted out. Richard Taylor was born in New Orleans. January 27;' 182ti. -. His ,aarly education was desultory. He picked up French in Louisiana almost as a mother tongue. Among his kindred in Kentucky he took In the Virginia ideas prevalent there At Fort SnelliDg, in Minnesota, a missionary taught him when only six or seven years old, the only white coy in a scuooi oi Indians and haltbreeds. He seems . to have been touched with the spirit of - these lawless sons of the forest,' and on one occasion when Impatient of the re straints of the school room, and envious of the freedom of the bumble-bee and the buf falo, they broke bounds and fled to the woods. He accompanied them, and was not captured for two days. . As his father moved from post to post along the frontier, from Baton Rouge to Jefferson Barracks, and thence to Fort Snelling, he followed the drum, like Hannibal imbibing a knowledge of war In the nurture of the camps. Proba bly In the hope of giving a more methodical education to his son. General Taylor sent him, when about 13 years of age, to Edinbur. Scotland, where he was thoroughly drilled for three years in Latin and other studies. He then spent about a year in France. Returning to America, he received private tuition for two years from Mr. Brooks, of Lancaster, Mass., and entered the junior class at Harvard in ib-ij. xnougn perhaps technically less of a scholar than many of his classmates, he wag the most mature among them, from travel and wider experience of life. He has all his life been a voracious devourer of books, a constant thoueh desultory reader. He was eraduated in 1815. He went di recti v from college to his father's camp on the Mexican frontier, and was attached to his person as a sort of military secretary, or aid-de-camp. He was present at the battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma and Monte rey. General Taylor's troops were then withdrawn from him, and, as it appeared tha military operations on that line were at an end, young Taylor, who was suffering from rheumatism, returned to Louisiana, and thus missed Bnena Vista, where his father crowned his reputation with a glori ous victory. His health had been much im paired in Mexico, and was not restored for a year or more. To benefit it he made a visit to CaDada daring his father s briet presi dency, and was there received as John van Buren had been in England 10 years before, as a sort of American prince, cbarmiDg the best -Canadian and governmental circles with his Gallic wit and'1 his graceful social .

"the coast.'f The business of sugar planting required a rare combination for the best success. Tne culture of the cane approached the. nicety of garden work; sugar boiling was a very neat branch of manufacture, in which technical skill sought the highest aids of science; and the proper organization ana care of the labor, the. purchase of supplies and the sale of crops, required first rate bus iness Qualifications. Nevertheless, cn a well administered plantation there was an oppor tunity for both learned leisure ana social relaxation. Richard Taylor availed himself of both. As a leading citizen he took part also in politics, and was in the State Senate from 1856 to 1869. He was a delegate to the Charleston convention in 1850, and afterward to that at Baltimore, and was a mem ber of the Secession convention oi Louisiana in 180061. As a member of the military committee Taylor aided Governor Moore in organising the troops ei .Louisiana tor tne contest. lie was appointed colonel of the Ninth regiment of Louisiana volunteers iu June, 1S6L, and smt with them to Virginia. The day he got to Richmond he waited on the secretary of war ana informed mm that he bad a regiment tkoronghly . - armed, equipped and ready fer the field. . "When will you be ready to start?" asked the secretary. "In tve minutes." replied Taylor. The secre tary promised to bave transportation ready for hi i". that night, but the men waited all lignt on their ancs, arm it was daylight before they got erf. Instead of running through in eight hours, they reached Manassas Junction at dusk on that eventful day on which the battle had been fought. His regiment remained with that army, and in toe autumn Taylor was promoted to be a brigadier. In the soring of 1962 be led his brigade in the Valley campaign under Stonewall Jackson, and won distinction at Front Royal, Middletown, Winchester, Strasburg, Cross - Keys and I'ort Republic General Jackson gave bis brigade a battery of artillery which they had captured as a reward for ther gallantry, and recommended Taylor for promotion. In the North Amer ican Review his "Reminiscences" of those transactions months ago prepared the way for the more permanent work which he has burely lived to complete. ' That he was not incapable of gentler emotions many such passages as this in his- pictures of the war abundantly prove: .'The great valley of Virginia was before us in all its buty. f ields of wheat -spread far and wide, interspersed with woodlands bright in their robes of tender green. Wherever ap propriate sites existed, quaint old mills with turning wheels were busily grinding the previous year's harvest, and from grove and eminence showed comfortable homesteads. The soft vernal influence sbed a languid grace over the scene. The theater of war in this region was from Staunton to tbe Potomac, 120 miles, with an average width of some 2o. and the Blue Uidga and Allegheny bounded it East and West. Drained by tbe Shenandoah with its numerous alliuents the surface was nowhere fiat, but a succession of graceful swells occasionally rising into abrupt hills. Resting on limestone, the soil was productive, especially of wheat, and the underlying rock . furnished abundant metal for the construction of roads. Frequent passes or gaps in the mountains through which wagon roads had been constructed afforded eaay access from east and west, and, as has been stated, pikes were excellent, though unmetalled roads became heavy after rain. But the glory of the valley is Massanattin. ' The inhabitants of this favored region were worthy of their inheritance. . The North and South were peopled by scions of colonial families and the proud names of the 'Old Dominion' abounded. In tbe central counties of Rockingham and Shenandoah were many descendants of Hessians captured at Trenton and Princeton during the revolutionary era. These were thrifty 1 substantial farmers, and like their kinsmen of Pennsylvania, ex pressed their opulence in huge barns and fat cattle. The devotion of all to the Southern cause was wonderful. Jackson, a valley man by reason of his residence at Lexington, south of Staunton.--was their hero and idol. The women sent husbands, sons, lovers 4o battle as cheerfully as - to marriage feasts. No oppression, no destitution could abate their zeal." When Jackson : moved from tbe valley to join Lee In his attack on McClellan in the seven days' fight for Richmond, Taylor was with him and shared, in all. bis combats in that momentous struggle. . For his success in the field he was promoted to the rank of major general and assigned to the command of Louisiana, but owing to exposure in the field he suffered a -partial and temporary paralysis ot the lower limbs and was unable lor some weeks to assume his command. , He did so, however, in August, 1802. ' When General Taylor arrived in Louisiana to arrange for its defense there was no army, no arms, no munitions, no money. The Federals held the Missisjippi river and cut off communication from the East, except between Port Hudson and Vicksburg. Taylor showed great ability in organizing and supplying an army, and gradually won back that part of the State west of tha Uissis-ippi from the Federals.. "His -success here was brilliant and evinced great fertility of resource and fine administrative ability as well as the highest elements of afield commander. He gradually built tip an army by small accretions, equipping , it mainly by captures from the opposing force in numerous small engagements, until he bad reclaimed the whole of Louisiana - west of the Mississippi when Vicksburg fel', July, 18ti3. He was then compelled to fall . back west of Berwick's Biy, but continued his organization and added such strength ' to bis army as to maintain bis threatening attitude towards New Orleans and keep a large Federal force occupied." . ...... v . General Taylor's most signal achievement during the war was his defeat of General N. P. Banks, near MansfUId, Da Sato parish, in May. 180. ..With 6,000 men be attacked Batiks' Federal - army,: said to. bave been 40,000 strong, and routed him,, capturing 22 guns and a large number of prisoners, with bsggsgs, munitions of war, etc. . He pursued Banks, and again attacked film at Pleasant Hill, a strong position. Banks held on till night, and retreated under cover o the darknesj. Taylor then, under orders from General E. K. Smith, who had command of the Trans-Mississippi department, marched north to aid in repelling tbe column under General Steele, who was moving from Little Rock to effect a j a action with Banks. Steele, however, retired in time to evade a collision. ; ' f . In the summer of 1861 General Taylor was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, the second grade in the Confederate army, and ordered to the cmmand ot the department of Alabama and Mississippi. All the fortified posts on tha Mississippi river wers held by the Federals, and - their gunboats closely patrolled the river itself. He crossed the rolling flood by night in a small canoe,' the horses 'swimming alongside.; Sherman held Atlanta, Hood lay soma- distance to the southwest, and the southern coast was in the hands of tbe Federals except Mobile, which was threatened by Farragut. General Maury commanded at Mobile, and here, Taylor met President Davis and discussed the military situation fully and freely.. Taylor - had already sent Forrest with a cavalry division into Northeast Mississippi to interrupt Sherman's communications with Nash-. VUle. . .,- . ... :- ' . .. -T . 1- - The following is General Taylor's own aocountof the subsequent transactions: The closing scenes of the great drama succeeded each other 'With startling rapidity. Sherman marched,' unopposed, to the sea.; Hood was c riven from .Nashville across tbe Tennessee, and asked, to bs relieved. Assigned to this duty, I met him near Tupelo, North Mississippi, and witnessed the melancholy spectacle presented by a retreating army guns, small arms and accoutrements lost, men without shoes or blankets, and this in a winter of unusual severity for that latitude. Making every effort tore-equip this force I suggested to General Lee, then commanding all the armies ot the Confed

General Canbv. commanding the Union armies in the South west, advan ced up the eastern shore of Mo one Day ana. invested b Danish Fort and Biakely, important Confederate works ia that quarter. .After repulsing an assault General Maury, in accordance with instruc tions, withdrew his garrisons in the night to Mobile and then evacuated the city, falling back to Meridian, on the line of the Mobile ana unio rauway. General Forrest was drawn in to the same point, and tbe little army, less than 8,000 of all arms, held in readiness to discharge such duties as tha waning fortunes ot the "cause", and the honor of its aims might demand. After Lee's surrender at ADoomattox and General J. E. Johnston's capitulation, noth ing remained lor General Taylor but to fol low , their . example. Tha arrangements oeiween uenerais Taylor and Can by, by which the authority of the United States Government was re-established in the seced ed fa ia tea, were marked by courtesy, good feeling and both military and political wisdom. His own army of some 8,000 men and tbe debris of tbe ., mighty hosts which had waged so stubborn' yet unavailing a contest. were rapidly and quietly returned to their homes and the paths of peace. The proDerty of the Confederacy was transferred to its legal-successor, and the exhausted South raised its weary eyes in the hope of a restor ation of liberty and happiness under tbe auspices of the Federal constitution. Had the soldiers who accepted and adjusted tbe terms of surrender been allowed to carry forward tbe reconstruction of the vanquished States on the principles which guided -them, the era 'ot dissension would now be forgot ten. The politicians committed it to the hands of camp followers and felons, and the result has been what it has been. The close of the war found General Taylor ruined in fortune. It is a proud commentary on the Confederate cause that its ablest leaders shared to tbe utmost in the misfor tunes of their countrymen, and in nowise sought to avoid the penalties of their posttion. - They have, on the contrary, rather exulted in the exceptional hardships of their ot General Taylor delighted to tell how. when he reached Mobile after, the cessation of hostilities, with a single aid de-camp, they were obliged to sell their horses in order to provide for their immediate necessities, asd he often laughingly declared that he bad never teemed to himself so rich in his life as when his aid, after closing the transaction, came back to him and handed him a stout little roll of $300 or $100 United States green backs. - . For several years after . the war General Taylor resided in New Orleans and the Leg islature of Louisiana gave him charge of some important public works in that State, In 1873 he was induced to go abroad on bus iness of importance, and passed a considerable time in England. There he fell In with an old friend of the Mexican war, Mr. Percy ioyie, v. is., wno represented . r.ngland in .Mexico aunng tne American in vasion, and who has ' long been favorite with the very highest circles of British society. To these circles General Taylor was introduced, and soon made him self a welcome gupst in many of the best London houses. He was elected a foreign member of the Turf club in 1873 and again in 1874, and be received much personal attention from the heir apparent, whom he visited at Sandringham, and whose admira tion he won by tbe charm of bis manners and the piquancy of his conversation Since his return home General Taylor had taken only an advisory interest in politics. but those who knew him best know how much was lost to our public life in tbe loss from our public councils of an intelligence S3 keen and so active, moved by bo indomi table a spirit.' His freedom and vigor of speech, the keenness ; of his analysis, his fierce denunciation of the prevalent corruption, and his indifference In making personal issues would have been invaluable in these days of furave plans and whispering poll tics. One reflection remains what is to be said for the wisdom ot the Radical scheme reconstruction which brought to the front in the South negro barbers and enfranchised slaves to regenerate society, and forced into retirement men able to away councils and command armies? - No wonder that under suck guidance the country has , been called to pass through a season of unexampled vice, misery and degradation. - 3vx I Old-Time Singing. ' ' ' '" The following old-time incident was recently related by Mrs. Hannah Forward Clark, of East Granby. Mrs. C. will be Oi years of age the 4th of April, and is very well, both in mind and body. . Her life has not lost its snnohsne, and she seems to enjoy nothing better than a story or a chat with the young folks. She was inquired of in respect to the changes, if any, which the form of public worship had undergone since her first remembrance, and especially tbe music. She said, among other thir. that the "lining" of psalms was dropped before her day, bat that she had heard it related that it was practiced shortly before. She said a story was told of an old deacon of the First church in East Granby, who arose In his place to line tbe psalm, as usual, and baring carefully adjusted his spectacles, raided bis psalm-book, and Incidentally spoke ."I'm almost blind." The waiting congregation took up the words and sang them si a line. The descon, much annoyed, tried to explain: "I can scarce see at all." which also they sang In solemn measure. In holy indignation tbe deacon raised both bands, and exclaimed: "You're all bewitched.'" and this, too, was rendered in praise; whereupon tbe deacon vociferated loudly, "tbe devil's in every one of you!" Snch a change in the sentiment, as well as the metre,- brought the singers to a stand still, and after some confusion tbey sang the proper psalms Mrs. V. was unwilling to vouch for tbe truth of tbe story, but eaid it was - commonly ' related long ago. She strongly insisted-that tbe singing was far better in "ye oraen time" than now, and we agreed that she was right. She feels that she bad never beard nor ever will, in this world, any music1 like the songs of her childhood. There are never after singers like those.

BABE IX THE WOODS.

Thrilling Narrative of a Lost tittle Girt Among tbe Howling; Wolve and Prowling Panthers.- - - Dardanelle(iJk.) Immigrant,! Some weeks ago a little girl of - five mm-' mers strayed off one day about noon from her father's residence on Cedar creek, Scott county, causing tha deepest distress and wildest consternation to her parents and neighbors. The child was a peculiar one, having a strange disposition for a girl, often evincing a passionate fondness for the woods, and wanting to follow her father's dogs into the mountains near by to hunt. She seemed , from babyhood almost to love the wild. , strange scenes, the stern old mountains and darksome forests with which her borne waa ' girt about. She loved to listen to and imitate the drear, weird bowl of the wolf, ringing at nightfall down the dismal slope of the mountains and through the somber aisles of - the forests. She waa a curious child, so tbe neighbors said, a queer little gid, and un- ; commonly strange, but she was gone, and noone knew where. Her little pattering foot- J falls about tha door were missed. The roomswere hunted, tha barn and outhouses, searched, the garden, the fields and patches -agonizingly explored, but all la vain.. The". strange little girl bad gone. Then the neigh- - dots assembled together, ana - they banted r all the evening, and throughout tbe long spring night their torches flashed through - the darkness of many a lonesome glen. The startled buck, dazed with surprise, sprang -from his leafy bed into - the darkness; tha . mountain owl ceasea bis hooting, while the -hunter's halloo echoed from peak to peak,, and down to the deep gorges and through the shadowy vales. Tbe prowling wild cat crouched low as tbe party passed the rocky lastneeses oi his home, and the skulking fox. sought denser thickets. The night passed on, guns were fired and horns were winded; bat the mad March, blatts wafted back no answering cry, and when the sun roie up slowly from behind the mountain crest and shot his roseate beams athwart the morning landscape, the child was not yet found. The excitement spread like wildfire ; people thronged in from other neighborhoods; the search was renewed with double vigor. Women boldly took the pathless woods with brave hearts , and streaming eyes, and all that day and ' night following the mountains, tbe valleys,, the glens and the thickets were scoured; but when the sun rose again it dawned upon a.v scene ot sadness, for tbe little girl was still . lo&L. The .suspense was dreadful, for the nights were cold and bleak, and the country wild,, very wild, and infested with wolves, psnthers and bears. The little girl was motherless, but she had. a father, and the agony of his heart as day and night he tramped the forests through in. fruitless search for his little pet may not be . told. Bat the hunt was kept np next day. The worn out, tired settlers never ceased, their labors, though disheartened, and the weary searchers sought no rest. Troops of hardy horsemen, abreast in skirmish line, scoured the level lowlands, while the cliffs and caverns - high up the mountain's side were scaled and ransacked by footmen bold and tireless; bat tbe day grew on apace, tha -evening shades began to thicken, and here and there to blot and blnr with dresmy darkness on the lovely landscape ef tha lonely valleys. The birds had huehed their singing, the wolf had waked and stirred ' from his secret couch, the deer had ceased to browse and sought his nightly lair. It was . twilight, and the tall pines had cast their shadows long, like pencil marks adown the mountain's eastern slope, where, on a moss-grown rock, a little group of hunters, three or four, who bed met there by chance, sat and listened to the low murmuring of a tiny little mountain stream that slily slipped and wound its way among tbe bowlders, big and ancient tree roots. Long -they sat in somber stillness resting, for tbey had hunted all the day and were tired, very tired. Tbe night stole on ; "whip poar-wUl" whispered his first lowly greeting to the iron-gray darkness. The feathery pine-tops began to sigh to the moarfing March wind as it swept np tbe gorge. The hunters' listened, and as tbey listened, there came upon the wind a sound, a soft sob, a weakly, weary wail from a voice so faint and tar that it could Scarcely be heard above the ripple of the brooklet. As if startled by an electric shock, each man sprang upright on his .feet, and still as marble statues, --stood t listening. Again the sound was heard, - and -waiting cow no longer, in eager haste they started down the slope " with long elastic strides. ., They bad gone perhaps 200 yards, and were passing through a thicket of almost inky darkness, when suddenly the leader stopped, for prone upon the ground he saw a little form; a human shape Hireicnea upon tne cam Dieak earth, sniveling with cold and softly weeping all alone. -It was the little lost girl still alive and unhurt, but ob, so weak and white and wan, to pinched and pale. She was clad in a single ' garment and lying exhausted near tbe brink of the little mountain brook; her fair, soft ringlets were damp with the evening dews; her startled eyes .stared wild and vacant.. Tbe dimples from ber cheeks were gone, and her tiny, tapering ankles and shapely feet were bare, and bore the marks of many a cruel bruise and thistle cat that had cleft ber tender llesh. For two days and a half and two nights she had wandered through the mountains lost, and with- -out food, and here at last, and all Uone, trie little thing had laid ber weary bead down to die. It was a touching scene, and the salty tears shone brgbt upon tbe rugged cheeks of tha rough-beaded settlers as they reverently took up the little lost, quaint girl, and tenderly caressed her . back to life. Then the horns rang out the joyful news, and guna belched forth the tidings glad; answering shouts responded from the spurs and benches of tbe mountains, from tha glens and valleys, and ere an hour had passed that grim old mountain witnessed at its foot a scene of joy ' and jnbilee which no pen may wall describe. Tbe story is told, and is no fiction. We tell it as it wss told us last week by a very truthful gentleman, Mr. Wesley Roberts, of Scott county, wbo participated in the exciting bunt. The little maid is a daughter of Esquire G. W. Tinsley, and ber name is Carrie. She said that she saw the hunters every day, and hid .from them, and that the -wolves came near biting . her two or three times. -. .
