A Reminiscence of the War. Mr. Sandford, of Alabama, to il the House of Representative;), said he bad heard of an incident which oc curred on a battlefield in North Car olina. Two brothers, one wearing the blu?, and the other tho gray, had by a strange coincidence, shed their life-blood on the same battlefield. A tender father's hand gathered their remains together and buried them in the same grave, over which he raised n t;lsalt bearing on tho northern face i he name of him who had worn the blue, and on its southern face the name of him who had worn tho gray. On tho western face was tho inscrip tion : "Erec ted by tho loving hand of a futhcr over two boys, equally lov ed," and,'on the eastern face, the in sci'ipiion, "Who was right and who was right shall bo decided before that great tribunal to which both have gone. I, their father, will not decide who was right and who was wrong." The Efleot. Tho Baltimore Gazette stales that llie Ihsuo between Congress and the fraudulent President is as follows: "The ono roan power against the people I The free ballot box against the standing army ! Upon that issue let tho Democracy come before the country at the next election. The veto is a blunder, a folly of a desper ate party. It gives the victory to the Democracy beyond all perndven ture if tbey have the manhood to grasp it. It unites Democrats in a brotherhood closer than they have known for many long years. It hushes into silence all lesser ques tions ; il stirs a splendid cnlhusasm. All that is needed is the time to let the people speak out. The result is not doubtful." Curious. The Han isburg Patriot states that when tbe remains of Mr. Benjamin Singerly, formerly State printer of Pennsylvania, were disinterred at Pittsburg, a short time ago, for the p n pose of removal to Philadelphia, they were found to have undergone pctrilicalion. The entire faco and form seemed as if chiseled in marble, every feature and lineament being as perfect as in life. Mr. Singerly weighed at the time of his death, some two years ago, nearby four nun died pounds, but the petrified corpse weighed nine hundred and eighty poumis, and a block and tackle were found necessary to raise it from the grave, A Singular Dream. Two young men of Norrtdgewock, Maine, met one morning, and one said : "Charles, I dreamed last night that you were a Judge of the Su preme Court of Maine ; that I was a minister, and that you called on me to open your court with prt.ycr." Just thirty years after this, Rev. Dr. Charles F. Allen, late President of the Slate College, happened to step into the Supreme Court room in Au gusta. Judge Chas. Dantforth beck oned lo lain, and asked him to open his court with prayer, and, behold, Ihe di earn of thirty years was verifi ed. Rev. Dr. Allen is now pastor of lue Methodist Church nt Fairfield. Alle Samee. lie was a Chinaman, slightly over the bay and he rushed in o a Blake slrect saloon excitedly, rushed up to the bar and cried excitedly ? " Whis kee eoekcc-lalllo fol me allee samee Melican iann." The barkeeper arranged the mix ture, handed it on', and the China man poured it down, started for the door, shouting: "Puttee down on slattc, alloc same Melican man." And long before the bar keeper cohld get bold of a club, the celc&tir 1 was seen no more of men. "I really believe," remarked Mr. Hayes, scrambling to his feet and looking intently up at the top of the precipice over which he dropped, "I really beliove the Democrats have backed down. They are not in sight, aro they, Itodgcrs?" "Not so far as I can perceive from our present atti tude," replied the amiable private secretary, leaning back in the mud and sighing deeply.
