most fatuous regiments in the army.
It was at times commanded by 6uch
distinguished officers as Albert Syd

em and Federal armies during the
late war were officers in this regiment.
Lee saw service on the Western fron
tiers, and was seriously wounded in
a conflict with the Comanche Indians.
In 18C0 General Lee was detached
from hie regiment ami ordered to re

When Virginia seceded he promptly
resigned his position anil joined the
Conlcderato army. Hin first nervice

tho most brilliant cavalry command
tts in the Confederate army. From
ft Lieutenant he rose to be a M>jor
General. . At the battle of Winches
ter General Lee was wounded in the
thigh by a minnie ball. Three hornes
were shot under him during that con
flict His wound confined him to his
toom for ?cveral months, but as aoon
HS he could do BO he was again at his
post. Early in the Spring of 1SC5
Genera! Lee was placed in command
of ail of the cavalry of the Army ol

Sketch of the Lile and Character of
Sir .Hoses Montefiore.
Moues Montefiore, who died at
Ramsgate, England, on the28th Joly,
was the son bf Joseph Elias and Ra?
chel Montefiore, and was born in Leg
horn in ?784, whither the father and
mother had gone from England on a
visit. The family of the Montefiores
amonf the Jews was one of-old stand
ing, ai they had settled in^London in
Oliver Cromwell's time. Moses Mon
tefiores entrance i ato business was. as
a cleric in a wholesale tea and grocery
house, and here he gained his first
commercial experiences. Some few
years -Kpsed, when Moses Montefiore
became a stock broker. Aided by'hie"
wife's connections, somewhat atoo?iat
.-wUr-fi-h-f Ut?1. Rothschild^ huJeu'cce'ss
wan iu??edii?te. -iv;-iS23 "his 'father
died, leaving a handsome' fortune.
The soc had now accumulated some
wealth, and in 1825 Moses Montefiore
retired from business. Early in life
his heart had been touched by the
miserable-condition of his people, the
Jewp, abroad, and he had long nur
tured plans for redressing it. In.
England there were many wrongs the
fews suffered irom. Immensely con >
servative, an enemy to al! Budden
transitions, Meses Montefiore for more
Lhnn three quarters of a century *
worked for the freedom of his people. I
[t was in 1828 thal Moses Montefiore
>et in motion the struggle for Jewish
'mancipation, for then, according to
Sagliah statutes, !'a Jew was prevent- <
d from sitting in Parliament, hold- {
tig any office, civil or military, un li
er the Crown, or any situation in
orp'orate bodies." With the repeal t
f the teat and corporal inn Acta in p
828, associated with Nathan Roth- p
mild and Isaac Lyon Goldumid, an lt
ndeavor waa made by Montefiore to u
.move Jewish disqualifications, but e:
ie movement hore no fruit. The agi- ol
.Hon waa, however, continued, when, hi
i 1837. Montefiore became a candi- hi
tie for the Shrievalty and waa elect- tl
I. Before him, David Solomon, a b<
;w, held the Bame position, a bill fu
iving been pasaed in 1835 enabling li,
m to serve. Heading two d?puta* fr
ins offering their congratulations to bi
e Queen, Moses Montefiore was he
lighted. Though in after life Sir gr
oses maj be said to have left the in
ei Sk jA'^UL^Ug^M "Jdw', BB" IP j tl
,s his^gical or social aspirations h
vent, in 3tronger and perhaps more c
nergetic hands than his own, he now g
levoted himself to the noblest of all o
auscs, that of human charity. If 1
?.hat this good man did for his own c
>eople is the more salient, it shouid f
ie borne in mind that hie charities 1
irere general. The money he waa n
lossepeed of he gave freely to all s
reeda. There never waa a cry ol a
?rant or misery that reached hie eara t
rom any part of the world that did t
:ot touch his sympathies. Those acts a
f beneficence which remain unher- 1
bled far surpass in number and mu
i licence those the world ia best ac
nainted with, lu 1827 Sir MoseB,
.ccornpauied by his wife, made his ^
rat voyage to the E ist. This led to r
n intimacy between the philanthropy B
at and Mehemit Ali, and when in t
I ter years Said Pasha sent bia BOO I
Mousson to England, Sir Moses waa ?
its guardian. On thia visit the de- 0
ilorable condition of the J?WB at Je- a
UHalem attracted the philanthropists a
Mention. Without distinction of t
reed the wants of the needy were j.
elieved. From thia time on the life i
f Sir Moses Montefiore was Bpent in ?
irresting that' march of intolerancy c
md bigotry which oppressed the Jews ?
n Asia, Morocco, Italy, Roumauia c
md Ruaaia. No journey was too [
ong for him. Up to bia eighth decade e
da activity was ceaseless. Ia 18G5 \
here had been cholera in Jerusalem, c
md the fell scourge had left atarva- ?
ion and misery behind it. Sir MoBes ?
h"lS(Xi ^ueeudtalitj thu East; t^ per- |
tonally apply a charitable fund which t
ie had been instrumental in raiaing. e
[ri 1872 Sir MoseB went to Russia, bia j
lecoud viait there, with an address of h
:ongratnlation to that ill fated Em i
leror, Alexander II. The seventh t
r.urney to Jerusalem was made in (
IS74. Old as he waa, at a time when ,
aost men if not physically at least (
mentally are incapable of continued ,
exertion, the energies of Sir Moaea ;
Montefiore never flagged. During (
the late RUBSO Turkish war, when the ,
fate of so many Jews waa involved, |
he offered in connection with the ,
Turkish compasaionate fund to pro
ceed to the East in the interest of the
lund. It may be remembered, on the
occasion of Sir Moses Montefiores
one hundredth birthday last yean
how numerous were the congratula
tions sent to him. It had not been
forgotten how in his ninety-seventh
year, when President Garfield had
been Btricken down, Sir Moaea Mon
tefiore had offered prayera for Uar
fi Id's rrcovery in toe holy cities oi
Palestine. In hie religioua belief Sir
Moses Montefiore waa the strictest of
adh?rente to and in no way departed
from the ritual of hie forefather*. His
waa a noble life, and the good he did
has been lasting. There ia nc Jew
who should not reverence bia name.
In his silent, quiet way, by hie bene
factions he did much to make his peo
ple respected. Such a man, however,
ia lifted up far beyond the domain of
'any particular faith or creed; he
rather st?nde aa typical of God's best
work as a sin ga! arly good, honest,
charitable and pure-minded iaa&ci^

"It is not magnifying matters in

The Louisiana l'aille Plague.
NEW ORLEANS, July 24.-From the
?eche country, in Western Louisiana,
eports are received of the terriblo
tate of affairs prevailing in the sec
ions infected by the cattle plague. A
ruBtworthy citizen heard of one place
o-day south of here where there are
ver fifty carcasses decomposing in
.bout twenty-five acres. The stench
,t night ia reported aa being intolera
ile. The police jury have taken etepa
o day to deatroy theae carcaaaea. Oil
ias been bought for the purpose. It
a said that two gallons of oil judi
ciously ueed will consume a carcass.
\. serious difficulty in the way is to
?et parties to execute the work. A
arge hardware dealer in this place
aid to day that he had sold a nura
?er of gimlets to people from the
ountry. Upon inquiry he learned
hat they were used for boring hohe
hiough the skulls of sick horses to
et, as they exjpresae? it, the I ad wa
er off the brain. A large stock raia
r near the place lost a very valuable
?looded mare to day. The afflicted
mimais manifest the sympt?me of
dind-staggers, and die very shortly
ifter taking the malady. Colts and
salves are just as liable to take the
lisease as older stock. The number
)f carcaaaes on the prairie is too nu
merous to admit of burying. Mr.
Joseph Jefferson lost a fine breed
itallion this weok. ne propoaea to
dispose of all carcasses in his pastures
by burniug them, and has purchased
EI quantity of oil and tar for the pur
poae. A plague PO general and fatal
was never before known in this sec
lion._
A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.-An un.
usual activity has sprung np in all
the manufacturing townHof New Eng
land. In the shoe business it is said
that orders from the South have been
coming in so rapidly that dealera have
their hands full. The hardware busi
ness is also improving. In dry goods,
cotton and woollen labrica, in pain ta,
oil and lead, the aame activity pre
vails. The Northern merchante are
preparing for a heavy business in tho
fall. The prospects for a good crop
here justifies them in doing so. If
the seasons hold out a larger crop
than ever before will be raiaed.

A French vineyard is not in itself
\ pintureen,ne sight... Walking throng
t you can see little uioii- tb.'w tb
'ines immediately around you, for
lorting poles, which are all about six
eet high. Standing on a height over
hem you seem to be looking over a
rast gray sea, for the country is very
Ut, and you see little but the gray
ops of the poles. As the season ad
rances towards the vintage, the white
balky roads become inches deep in
lust. All along the margins of the
oad the vines are thickly powdered
vith it, and a loot passenger comes
lome luoking like a miller. There is
lothing very graceful either in th*
rines or the grapes. The vines ar*
mmature hop vines, and the gi apes
ire very small and grow so closely
ogether that the best way of eatiug
hem is to take a bite out of a bunch
is yen would out of an apple-if
pur teeth are good enough. It is
,rue you have lo take your chance of
?omirig aereas snails and sings 1 nd
lUch small deer ; but the snails aie
he white edible variety, such as you
nay soe in the restaurants, and the
dugs have, at all events, boen nour- I
shed on the vine. The picturesque- j j
ness of the vineyard begins willi the
picking. If you livo near lhe read
Lo lhe vineyard, you are awakened

ind the jingling ot bornee' bells;
probably, also, by the shoulii.-g and
the singiug of the pickers, for no
doubt old Blanc has given them sup
per overnight and their cottee bernie
they start iu the morning, and they
are elated at the beginning of the

The Trouble Safely Over.
Stomach trouble is serious business
while it last* ; but what a blessed re
lief to have it depart? Mrs. F. G.
Well*, of 19 Atlantic street, Hart
ford Conn., writes that she ti ?ed
Brown's Iron Billers for stomach
trouble, and that she experienced
such relief that ihe trouble is now en
tirely over. She recommends this
great iron medicine to all who are af
tlicted. It cures liver and kidney
complaint.
The unusual t-igh.t,. ,is presentid
daily at Wright's Hotel of throe gen
tlemen sitting down at the same ta
blo, each ol whom lost one arm in
their country's service. Captain Leap
hart and Mrtjor Bradley on the Con
federate side, and Capt. A. C. Dibert
on the Federal side of the contest.
The New York iron dealers say
there id no promise or hope of im
provement tn their business until the
silver and tariff*questions are definite
ly settled.
Ayers Sarsaparilla ia designed for
those who need a medicine to purify
their blood, build them up, increase
their appetite, and rejuvenate their
whole system. No other preparation
HO well meets this want. It touches
the exact root. Its record of iorly
years is ono of constunt triumph over
