County Judge, on a charge of embezzlement. The April terra of the County, Court opened on tbe. 7ih and went through its regular business during 'the wetk until Saturday, when the Court called upon the Sheriff to make bin ex After overhauling bis books napcre it was discovered that'hVfi to aocfjqjit(for $3,200 that he ha'debl lected from tax-payers. Judge Lowe asked him what he had done with it. Tli en for the first time Mr. Sleeper showed a little excitement, and plac ing his bands in his pockets, said he had used it, but he thought there was Eoine mistake, for he didn't think he was so much behind. The Jndge asked him what he had expended the money lor, and be answered that be had bought a rnule. The Court asked him it lie paid three thousand dollars for a mule. He answered "No; he had improved his place some." The Judge then fixed his bonds at $3,500 for bis appearance at the next Circuit Court, but as he failed to give such bond he now lies in jail. The writer of this was in company with Mr. Sleeper much during the term of Court, and he seemed as lively and pleasant as usual, attending to his business with alacrity, as was his wont to do, and no one would hat e thought he bad any forebodings of ap proaching trouble. Mr. Sleeper came to this counly some six or seven years ago, from Jackson county. He had lived at Willow Springs a short lime, I think, and kept a saloon at that place. He is a man ol about medium bight, black hair and dark eyes, which are rather small and generally on the move from one object to another. In fact, he is rather quick in all bis moemt'nis, and his general deportment indicates fit m ness and energy, and many supposed that he was making a good officer. Soon after be came to this county he was nominated by tbe Democratic party for County Clerk and was dc feated. Two years ago last June he was elected Assessor by the same party, aud last June he as elected to the office he has now fallen from an office he had long witbed for. Although the unfortunate man is possessed with a large amount of in telligence, yet it seems that he feels unconscious of hat ing committed any crime, for he says he used the money to liquidate some of his liabilities and expected to hae been able to refund the money, but the people don't see it in that light, and more especially his bondsmen, who have no sympathy for him. There are ten of them, and they now evpect to pay the county the thirty-two hundred dollars, as he has no property, or anything that can be found to pay with. Your writer having been acquainted with Sleeper for a number ol years, and he being a congenial, "hale fellow, well met," naturally feels a sympathy for him, and during Court week called on him and his family, which consists of a wile and two bright little children. They Eeemed to be living in what you might call luxury for this country, and appeared to be happy and enjoying domestic bliss. But now how things have changed. On the hill in that cozy cottage is a weeping, broken hearted wile, who but yesterday was so happy, and a lew paces from her, within those iron bars, sits her once ambitious husband, with liberty snatched from him, hopes that were once so strong scatteied to the winds, and that once peaceful mind in tor ment. What a change J 1 visited Sleeper Sunday evening in the jail ,He was silting with bis back toward the door, his elbow rest ing on the lack of the chair, and his bead leaning upon his hand. He did not seem to heed us as we passed un til tbe jailor spoke to him. He then started up in bewilderment, as it seemed. I extended my hand, saying "How do you do, George?" His countenance changed, and it appeared as though be would nearly sink. In Bl-Va urea imvyEii 1 conversation witb htm he stated that be had used some of. the county ;,i'j i 'c r,,Jiii it it they would not be. so money, but U thev r.P !-, ,'' '?. 0": W L.fi.,.

Mtsoloed, ihat hy me death ot Uen- cral Canby the United States Army has lost one of its noblest soldiers and ablest commtnders ; the nation one of its moit patriotic dtfendcrsand wor thiest sons; and hi countrymen ev erywhere one ot their moit faithful champions and devoted friends.

'Wherr'lov eel1 ones die and especially when; ties are severed by sudden and appalling calamity, it is an impulse ot surviving friendship to interpose its humble tribute to stay thcT march of that inevitable oblivion, which awaits without exception all the' inhabitants of earth. Soon or late, in years or cen- turif or ages, ;it must come alike to the-jowly or great , Char's i two thou- sand years and Homer's three thou sand years are but moments in the past and poets as great who have never heard tieir name," will stand upon their unremembered graves. Tlut Friend ship still brings its evanescent offerings to the tomb. Ou Good Friday, the eighth anniver sary of the assassination of the illustri ous Lincoln, Edward R. S. Canby fell by the hand of a beastly and treacher ous slvage. Neither the pages of his tory nor the legends of tradition can furnish a parallel to this cowardly and treacherous murder. In all future aqes let us hope it will stand alone in its enormity, and unapproachable in the relative costliness ot the sacrifice. An eagle towering in his pnu(-of place Was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed. He has fallen in the height ot his usefulness, in the early autumn, of his years, and in the full vigor of his un wasted manhood. It is hard to realize that we shall no mote listen to his counsels nor bo cheered by his,' pres ence. He has passed away forev'er, but ho has left to us a valuable inheritance in the memory ot his virtues and the benefits lhat may grow out of his ex ample. It 1 write nothing in his praise, which I have not spoken in his life, I shall be acquitted of' any affectation of rcnti inent. A little while ago he stood among ns, grand m stature, peerless in form, cultured in mind and hiffli in station. vet shrinkingly modest in demeanor; truthful, brave and generous ; just and merciful ; spotless in character and pure in heart, 'without fear and with out reproach." an intellectual andmor al giant among his feliow men. Ordi nary business integrity looked like dross beside the gold of his refined and sensitive honor. Home, in her purest and brightest davs, could boast no braver soldier nor better citizen. It seldom falls to tho lot of bereaved friendship to describe a character at once so strong and beautiful. There lives not on earth to day a man who can point to a stain upon his name. In the writer's half century of life he has nev er met a truer, justrr, nobler mtn. He was a living retulation ot the damnable heresy of knaves, that "every man has hi price." None but a- stranger or fool would have ventured to cost mark his honor. In him were blended all the best attributes of manhood. Fear less of danger, yet he feared to inflict piin or wrong upon any human heart. Regardless ot self, he was ever watch ful for others. He curtailed his own wants that he might minister to the needs of the poor ; and their blessings will follow him to the grave. To little children, though himself childless, he was more gentle than a mother. His great heart went out to the poor and helpless of every race and color; even the vile wretches who slew him had no more patient, charita ble friend. If he had enemies, they must have hated him for his virtues. He bore upon his manly front the im press of a featless and honorable soul, and no one who knew him will say it was a talso index to his character. Among his friends and associates there is no recollection that is bitter but the thought lhat they 6hall see him no more. He will be laid in a patriot soldier's honored grave, regretted by all who knew him, and regretted most by those who know him best. 11 our grief is great what must be hers, who now broods in lonely sorrow too deep far tears, at her woe stricken hearth, io her, who for more than thirty years has been the worthy com plement of his grand and noble life, and the sharer ot his trials and tri umphs, it is useless to offer the condo lence of our natural aud most earnest sympathy; it cannot reach her crushed and broken heart. "Alas! not for the dead, but lor the mourner whom ho has left 1 In death even love is forgotten, but in life there is no bitterness so ut ter as to leel that everything is un changed except the one being, who was the soul of all to know the world is the same, but that Us sunshine has departed." D. T. It is said that a little railroad at Ba you Sara, La., runs to Woodvilleon a very uncertain schedule.

JIenry (Ward Beechee on Old CLOTnis. In- referriug- to tbe happi ness ot early housekeeping, Henry Ward Ueecher recently said in tho pul-' pit.v 'I -would: not give up the first two years of my married life for all I havo now.

Is there another clergyman in the country with any degreeottpromineilce, who would stand up in thej pulpit be fore a fashionable audience,, and say that the very clothes he once ha(i on his back, had been worn) by Judgo B before him ? Is it any wonder that Mr. Beecher is beloved by tho people. A1 11 Ledger. f Why is Lvce Costly. Tho manu facture of lace is carried toiits-highcst perfection in Belgium. The finest specimen of Brussels lace is so compli- , cated as to requiro the labor of seven . persons on one piece, and each 'opera- ' tivo is employed at distinct features of the work. The thread used is of ex quisite fineness, which is spun in dark, underground room, where it is suffi ciently moist to prevent the thread from separating. It is so delicate as scarcely to be seen, and tho room is so arranged that all the light admitted shall fall upon the work. It is such material lhat renders the genuine Brus sels ground so costly. On a piece of Valenciennes, 'hot -two inches widCJ " from two to three hundred bobbins are sometimes used, and for the larger widthas many as eight hundred on the same pillow. The most valuable Val enciennes is determined by the number of times the bobbins have been twisted in making the ground, the more fre quent the twists the clearer and more beau'.iful will be the lace. Belgium annually sells of this lace alone to the value ot over 84,000,000. Chantilly lace is always black, and is used chiefly for veils and flounces. It is very fine aud is extensively worn. Mechlin laco is made at Mechlin, Antwerp and other localities. e , , . How Not to Do It. Did you ever see a woman throw a stone at a hen ? It is tho most ludicrous scene in every, day life. We recently observed tho process. The predatory fowl had in vaded the precincts of the flower-bed, and was industriously pecking and scratching the nutritious seed or the early worm, blissfully unconscious ot impending danger. The lady now appears upon the scene "with a broom. This she drops and picks up a rocky fragment ot the Silurian ages, and then makes her first mistake they all do it of seizing the projectile with tho wrong hand. Then with malice afore thought, the further blunder of swing ing her arm perpendicularly, instead of horizontally thereupon the stone flics into the air, describing an irregular el liptical curve, and strikes the surface ot the earth as far from the hen as tho thrower stood at the time. At tho second attempt the stone narrowly missed the head of the thrower herself, w ho, seeing that any further attempt of the kind would bo suicidal, did what she might have done at first started after the hen with her old and familiar weapon. Exchange. 4 Newspapers. They credit wider and longer, get oftener cheated, suffer more pecuniary losses, aro oftener the victim of misplaced con fidence than any other people in the community. People pay a print er's bill with more reluctance than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on a valuable newspa per than ten on a gewgaw. This is wrong and unjust. Yet every one avails himself ot the editor's pen and the printer's ink. How many profes sional and political reputations and for tunes have been made and sustained by the friendly though unrequited act of the editor? How many embryo towns and cities have been brought into no tice and puffed into prosperity by tho press? How many railroads now in successful operation would havefoun. dered but lor the lever that moves the world?
