He brought her a lemonade in her room, and she found it bitter. He had pnt an opiate in it When she was unconscious he stole her purse and $2,500 worth of diamonds, and deserted her.

Will Cumback, of Grecnsburg, Ind., give* it os his opinion that the mob who hanged Garrett at Grcensburg were Kentuckians, bailing from the former home of the murdered man Walton.

The Judge showed that the atrooitks prac ticed oo Jews in Rnaeie bee taken the form of destruction of property by plnader and fire, injury to person, mur derous assaults, outrages on mothers, wives, and daughters, and deliberate murder. As nearly as the results of thees atrocities can be ascertained sud stated in figures, it appear* over two hunered women have been violated, sixty men were killed, seventy wounded, twenty thousand rendered homeless, and about $75,000,000 worth of property stolen and ^wrecked. .

I remember *tat ing for my command, commanded by Cob. McLemore and Breckinrigde, and the artillery commanded by Capt. Wig- g n*. that they had remained trne and itact, were under good discipline, and never refused to do duty either as soonts, picket, or guards and were as ready to march to battle as they had always been. Each officer was asked in turn in regard to his command, and my statements were corroborated by Col. Breckinridge when he was interrogated. Mr. Davis had had the eompanv of Capt.

On going into camp near Washington, Ga., on the 8d of May. the specie train was parked at Gen Breckinridge’s headquarters, and that intended for the troops was turned over to Maj. E. C. White, chief Turkey. Tlie intervention of Russia in behalf of Greek 'Christians in Turkish Dominions was an avowed justification for undertaking the Crimean war, and again in 1877 the intervention of Russia in behalf ef Christian subjects at tha Sultan was,the single pretext for the Rnsao-Turkish war.

It was a little boy about ten years of age. Doubtless the woman was the mother of the child. Some jewels found on tho female skeleton indicate a person of condition ; two bracelets of gold encircled the arm which held the boy, snd on the hand were two gold rings, the one set with *n emerald on winch is engraved a horn of plenty, and the other with an amethyst bearing a head of Mercury. • A Soldier’s Daughter.

For merly it woe the universal one. It was the tin., new play then that drew the crowd—not the fine new actress. But all this is changed now. The glorifying of one actor to the degree of making a “eter” of him ; the “ personal magnetism” element; and the attention given to tho matter of dry goods, have all tended to make meet dramatic shows nothing more than the exhibition of the gifts of one actor or octrees. The charm of that one person is the thing relied on. The plays of such are fitted to them on the same principle that their clothes are — te set off their natural graces. Whether the play itself is a fine literary work k a matter of small consequence. The result of tnk sort of thing has been that the number of plays popularly given has become constantly smaller and smaller.
