A Queer Discovery?A Mysterious I Bullet.?A correspondent of the Toledo | Blade, writing from Hastings, Mich., says: -'About ten miles South of this place, a farmer, while driving some cows through a deep forest adjoining his fields, unexpectedly ? came upon an unusually large buck stretched upon the ground, and moaning away the last moments of its existence. The ani? mal was evidently very old, and in sadly emaciated condition, so the fact that the farmer immediately put a bullet through its head should rather be looked upon as an act of compas? sion than otherwise. Just as he was about to leave, he observed a round lump upon the animal's side, wbioh so attracted, his attention that he stopped to examine it. Quickly discovering that olose under the skin was deposited a round, hard body, he used his knife, and brought to light a silver bullet such as was 'used in olden times for the en- I closure of secret despatches. He car? ried this curiosity to his house, where, after considerable trouble, he succeeded in opening it, and found to Ids great surprise that it con? tained a message written in cypher | j upon paper attenuated to a high degree. 1 Otherwise than that the paper was j slightly discolored (not sufficiently, however, to obliterate the characters'.) Neither the bullet nor what it enclosed I bore any evidence of its late surround 1 ingi or of the strange vicissitudes I through which it might previously have gone. Several men of science have care? fully inspected this relic of the past, and are as mneh at a loss to decipher the message as they are to satisfactorily ex , pbuji when and how the bullet came to be lodged in the side of the buck." How A Woman Found the Heabt of I TnE President. ?There is one family that will never forget our President, despite these tendencies of political parties or partisans. The utoTy wo give was fur? nished us by one who knows its truth, and as it bus never got into print, we narrate it as evincing the fact that Gen. Grant has got a heart, at all events. The wife of a defaulting officer called upon President Grant, last December, to im Slore the release of her husband from the Ibnny penitentiary. She told the Pre? sident that, crushing as the sorrow was to herself, she would try to bear it, but that every morning, without an excep? tion, since her husband's incarceration, her four little children bad coine to her with the tearful inquirv: "Will dear papa come homo to-day?'' "This plea of my children will, I know, ere long drive me into insanity. And now," said she, "my little ones have varied their agoniz? ing questioning with a pathos that is maddening, too: 'Won't pa come home Christina*:? " "Mndaui, I will consult the Attorney-General, and do whatever I can for your husband, with his ap Iiroval." 'T know that will all be use 088." said the grief-stricken wife; "his decision will only be adverse, and I may as Well go home and tell my children at once that their papa can't come homo, and give up in despair." "Wait a mo? ment," said the Paesident, and sitting down, he hastily penned a note to Attor? ney-General Williams, and nervously handing it to her, said: "Go and tell your children that their papa shall come Christmas!" fr Ex-Senator and ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasurer Sawyer, was, just after the war, Internal Revenue Collector at Charleston. On leaving that office, be was indebted to the Government some $20,000. Repeated invitations to settle his deficiency have been unheeded by Mr. Sawyer. Suit will now be brought against his pond to compel restitution. Mr. Sawyer, it will be remembered, belongs to the band of Christian statesmen, and figured very prominently in the San Juan business. Miss Ida Oreo ley, daughter of the lato Horace Groeley, is engage*! to be mar? ried to Col. N. Smith, of Kentucky. His Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of New York, it is said, will perform the ] ceremony, which is to t?te place in the ,fall, when Miss Greeloy returns from her contemplated European, tour. Am Audacious Robbest im New Yobs,?_L on wmtW^mSqn^ v. tmsBtt messenger employed by the Architnctuufft Iron Works Company* Was seat to tW Eleventh Ward Bank for,$3,500, with ; which- to pay off tho workmen. ' He drew the money in small notes, and wrapping it up in >i piece of brown paper, securely tied it up with twine. I'.e put the package under bis arm und took an avenue D car. Two well-dressed strangers got on the ear soon after, Golden, and stood leaning upon the straps. When the car reached Four- j teenth street, one of the strangers stand- i ing near the front door suddenly threw ! it wide open. At this the other man j snatched the package of money from j under Golden's arm and leaped from the I platform. The driver hud his hands oc- j cupied in managing the horses and the ! brake, and though tho alarm was given promptly, both the men escaped and ran down Fourteenth street. Golden and others raised a hue and cry and gave J ehas?\ A wagon was waiting a short dis- j tance from the corner. The two men ' jumped in and were driven away swiftly, \ and were lost sight of speedily. It seems to be generally accepted that, the signs of the times in the money mar- j kets are confirmatory of the theory that tho country is verging towards a steady and prosperous business era. The New Y'ork JCvening Mail remarks that the feel? ing in Wall street is doubtless somewhat in anticipation of "the good time com? ing," and is not always controlled by good judgment, but it indicates unmis-J tukubly the general conviction of our; shrewdest judges of the signs of the j times, that the tide has at last begun to' turn, that money is seeking investments, j and that confidence is coming back, we I hope "to stay." That iH the general j aspect of "the street," as any one can. find who is in doubt of the situation. For the first time sinne the panic, money is pouring into Wall street in large quan? tities from investors outside of the city, who uro exchanging Government bonds j for securities that have the "promise! and potency" >f development in their, value. j There were clergymen who kissed be- j fore Bescher was born. Said the Rev. ? Sydney Smith: "We are in favor of a cer? tain amount of shyness when a kiss is ' proposed, but it should not be too long:1 And when the fair one gives it, let it be administered with wurmth and energy; let there be soul in it. If she close her eyes, and sighs immediately after it, the effect is greater. She should be careful i not to slobber a kiss, but give it as a J humming-bird runs his bill into a honey- < suckle?deep, but delicate. There is I much virtue in a kiss when woll deli- I vered. We have the memory of one we I received in our youth which lasted us j forty years, and we believe it will be one of tfie last things we shall think of when wo die." The following paragraph in the West Point (Ky.) Times led to the killing of tho writer, L. A. Middloton, by John Love, of the West Point Citizen: "How much was the editor of the Citizen grati? fied, when he climbed that pole at tho Court House, tho other night, so as to look into the dressing-room of the ladies of the D'Este Troupe, while they were making their toilets'/' Perhaps it would bo proper for the au? thorities at Washington to send Marshal Packard a statement of bis duties as United States Marshal at New Orleans. He upporentlv does nothing but manage the Radical Senate and electioneer for his party. Tho advent of the yellow fever in the Crescent City, will bo about tho only event which will scutter the Re- j Enblican oligarchy and give the people a I reuthing spell. The lust act in the settlement of the Gustav affair will be the saluting by tho ' Spanish fortification Gnetaria of the Ger? man flag. The German squadron has gone to Guetaria, tho scene of the out? rage, to receive the salute agreed upon. Tennessee planters arc complaining of the unprecedented destruction of horses and cattle by the Buffalo gnats. It is estimated that in the last ten days $100, 1MX) worth of stock . has been killed within a radius of one hundred miles around Memphis. The Post Office Department is advised that the exchange of ratifications of the general postal union treaty will be made at Berne, Switzerland, on tho :id prox. Each of tho contracting countries will be represented by a delegate, authorized to perform such exchange. Mr. Rublee, United States Minister to Switzerland, is the delegate on behalf of the United States. Such has been the increase of business by the change of gauge on the Richmond and Atlanta Air Line Railroad, that it has been found necessary to immediately add one hundred freight cars to the rol? ling stock. The Tredegar Works, at Richmond, Virginia, is now filling an order for forty of these cars. At a reception given to M. Chevalier, the distinguished French economist, at Birmingham, on the 28th, John Bright made some remarks on free trade, in tho course of which he said it was ludicrous for tho United States to invite foreign manufacturers to compete at an exhibi? tion when a protective tariff prevented them from competing in American mar? kets. Mrs. Emma Watson, who resides near Goordin's depot, in Williamsburg County, lost her dwelling-house, by an accidental fire, on last Sunday week, the 18th instant. She was fortunate lenough to save her furniture from tho burning building. An intent child of a colored vornan, living on the plantation of Mrs. Asa Godbold, of Marion, jumped froni the arms of its nurse on lost Friday, and, falling to tho ground, broke its neck. In riding from Boston to Concord, last Monday, the President told Mr. Blaine that he felt like cracking a joke; and when he cracked it, the passengers all got up and requested the conductor to put that man off the car. Messrs. J. P. Mickler has been elected Intendent, and L K. Hunter, James A. I Wright, Jacob Schroder, and B. b. < James, wardens of toe town of West Union.
