[Raleigh (N. < ’.) News.]
Soon after the close of the war in
1865, when Gen«. Lee and Johnston
had surrender'*«! to tIn» United States
force«, a good deal was said, much of
it false, in regard to the capture of Jef­
ferson Davis, president of the confed­
eracy. Soon after hi« capture, James
H. Jone.«, a colored num, who was with
Mr. Divisor his family during nearly
the whole time of the war in the ca­
pacity of a coachman, and who was
with him when he was taken prisoner
in Georgia, furnished a statement of
his capture to the Greensburg Patriot,
and it was published at the time. Re­
cently’ a re quest has been made to a
gentleman of high standing in this
city to piocure from James II. Jones
a statement of the whole matter, which
he has given, and which w«‘ are per­
mitted to copy, as below. But before
giving the statement we will take oc­
casion to say that the author is a na­
tive of this city and stands as high as
any colored man in the Stat«* for truth
and integrity. He is and has been for
ten years captain of the Victor fire
company of this city, and was, until his
resignation recently, captain of the
Raleigh Blue-, a colored volunteer com­
pany of the city. The statement is
given as brii fly as po-sible to tie intelli­
gible, and is as follows:
Ulsters for ladies are out of fashion.
Music iu the hair—A lice iii the bon­
net.
Marriago comes best when least
sought.
There is a woman’s printing school
in Berlin.
Wedding invitations are on small
note sheets.
Frowns blight your children as frosty
nights blights your plants.
Elbow sleeves, filled with illusion,
make the arm look plumper.
Lace which has been discarded for
ages is again coming to light.

forty per cent, of the votes in Colora­

Hotel life is for women what garri­
son life is for men—leisure without re­
pose.
Among the new lace conceits are
large collars copied from historic por­
traits.
Lace mitts, white, light-colored or
black, will be worn in full dress as
heretofore.

You pay the bar-keeper a quarter and

I over’which, etc., we could not attend.
One of the evils, and a growing one,
to which the members of Congress are
addicted, is that of “pairing-off” when
a Vote is to be taken on some impor­
tant bill pending in the House or Sen­
ate. The question naturally arises
with us, and we presum“ it is the same
with many others, “for what purpose
are the members of the House and Sen­
ate employed by the people, and sent
to Washington at such an enormous
expense?” Is it to play “hide and
-eek,” like a number of children, and
dodg‘> when their names are called, lie­
hind the “pair oil’’ with Tom, Dick
and Harry, who are playing in the
same game? or are they sent there to
look after th«* interest of their employ­
ers—the people—to vote upon all ques­
tions at issue for or against the public
weal—thus placing themselves upon
the record in a manner that will enable
them to give an account of their stew­
ardship and show to the people that
they have attended to their duty as
good and faithful servant-?
We take it that no member of either
branch of Congress has a right to “pair
off” with another member, and thus
avoid placing himself on the record
either for «fr against the hill pending.
Ho who is not “lor us is against us,”
and when a member “pairs «»IF’ and
thus avoids a vote, it is fair to presume
that he docs so to prevent placing
himself on the record for or against the
bill, and that by so doing he may leas’e
a loop-hole through which to crawl in
the future, as the pending measure
may meet witli favor or rejection at -
the hands of the people, and be called
upon to say whether he favored the
•measure or not. If he has kept his
mouth closed in debate, as many do,
and has “paired off” when the vote i«
taken, he is in condition to as-ume the
affirmative or negative of the question
afterward, as it becomes popular or un­
popular. No member has the right to
“pair off,” and should be held to an ac­
countability when he does so. It is
his duty to vote upon every question
when it is possible for him to be pres­
ent.— Sc noma / h nine rat.

—The origin of the stamp has a tinge
of romance in it. It was 37 years ago
that Rowland Hill, while crossing a
district in the north of England, arriv­
ed at the door of an inn where a post­
man had stopped to deliver a letter.
A young girl came out to receive it;
-he turned it over and over in her hand
and asked the price of postage. This
was a large -um and evidently th«» girl
wa*s poor, for the postman demanded a
shilling. She sighed sadly, and said
the letter was from her brother, but
that she had no money ; and so she re­
turned the letter to the postman.
Touched with pity Mr. Hill paid the
postage and gave the letter to the girl,
who seemed very much embarrassed.
Scarcely had the postman turned his
back when the young inkeeper’s daugh­
ter confessed that it was a trick be­
tween her and her brother. Some
signs on the envelope told her all she
wanted to know, but the letter contain­
ed no writing. “We are l oth so poor,”
she added, “that we invented this
mode of corresponding without paying
tor our letters.” The traveler, contin­
uing his road, a>ked himself if a system
giving place to such frauds was not a
viciou*. one. Before sunset Rowland
had planned to organize the postal ser­
vice on a new basis—with what suc­
cess is known to the world.
-Washington, Nov. <30.—Tho general
tenor of Senator Patterson’s charges
against the president of treachery and
black ingratitude to southern Republi­
cans was of course anticipated, but al­
though his manner of delivery Was
overstrained or even at times gro­
tesque, the force and epigramatie neat­
ness with which those criticisms were
phras«‘d and illustrated excited surprise
and genuine sensation as well as strong
suspicion that the speech was written
by some one else. Of this descrip­
tion were his assertions that the man
placed in the white house by the votes
and sacrifices of South Carolina Repub­
licans has turned them over to their
enemies and now holds back the arm
of justice that murderers may go free;
that Schurz and Evarts have been re­
warded for party treachery with cabinet
position«, while the old confederate
fl ig has been unrolled and a Key found
for the post«»flice department to keep
out southern Republicans; and equally
epigramatie were his comments on th«
president’s policy for the formation of
a new Republican party in the south­
ern states from the old Whig and re­
ligious elements. The latter, said Pat­
terson, worshiped God and the Democ­
racy, and, as to the other basis for the
president’s expectations, if he could go
down into that political valley of old
dry bones and infuse life into them ho
would stand as the ehampion resurrec­
tionist of the age. He might as well
try to build the thousand palaces of a
great city out of the crumbling toral-
«tones of a country graveyard. It was
a very noticeable fact that not one of
all the senators present, and very few
senators were absent, improved tho
occasion at the cluse of Patterson’s
speech, or during the subsequent de­
bate, to say a wor«i in reply to his
charges against the president. Per­
haps it was considered that the source
from which they came precluded the
need of any defence, but the oldest
habitues of the senate cannot recall an
instance where similar attacks upon
the ¡»resident in power did not call
forth from at least one member some
remarks in refutation or in reply.
A C urved B all P itched .—An ex­
periment was recently tried in Cincin­
nati to demonstrate that a pitcher can
pitch curved balls. It was a success.
Il was also demonstrated in Danbury,
in the past week, but in a more simple
way. A slim man was standing on
(lie corner of Munson and Pine streets
when the clubs were coming in. See­
ing the hall in the hands of a friend he
invited a pitch. The holder of the
ball put one foot ahead of the other,
shut his lips tight together, glared
with awful ferocity at his friend, and
then twisting his arm twice from the
shoulder to the elbow’, and four times
from the elbow to the wrist, let drive
the deadly missile. The slim man,
who had intently watched this myste­
rious preparation, saw the ball was
coining to his right and laid in that
direction, but was immediately con­
vinced that it was turning io the left,
mil striking out that way, was astound­
ed to observe that it was alxiut to plank
him in the middle of the back, and
promptly whirled around to intercept
it, but not seeing it at all in that direc­
lion, and being dreadfully excited, he
jumped about again, and just in time
to catch the ball on the bridge of his
nose. There being plenty of pavement
back of him he was saved from falling
any great distance, and is thus pre­
served as a living evidence that a ball
