Being bright far beyond ordinary bo managed to accrete their official papen, maps, etc., and e*ca pad with Uiate documonU to ForPemberton. After the fall of Vicka* burg, in July following, Payton went with hia young matter again to Virginia, where he remained until the surrender of Lee. Tha former, boing compelled to remain a number of di y* thereafter, In order to comply with the formalities of the surrender, sent Peyton ahead of hjm to his home, near Carroll ton, Miss. On hi* way, however, ha was betrayed to the ceomy by some Confederate a* the agyr who had deceived them above Fort Pefnborton, was captured and carriod Imitons to New York, thence to Cuba, and sold U a slave, together with many others. The vessel on which ho was taken was a Federal gunboat. In Cuba be wo^kc* " a1'"" r ' io. -» • • ' - a a tempta to escape from oondage, all but the lakt, of ooUrse, being unsuccessful. Finally he found an American vessel, commanded by a Southerner, to whom he related the story of 111* capture, enslavement and forced exile, and begged to be returned to his home and family. The captain secreted him in the hold ^ of Jjif vessel* carried him to Costa Rica, ' thence to New York. Peyton then worked liis way to Virginia, where a number of ladies raised the moans to return hixn to his homo after an absence of seventeen years. He reached Winona, .Mississippi, on tho 15th of * Apiil, 1880. Peyton rays that numbers of mulatto women are being constantly sold in Cuba as slaves. Northern men marry them, take them to Cuba on a "bridal tour," and there sell them as cooks and fancy house servants. He saw one sold lastXall by the man who married her for $500 : and further, that as he came through Cincinnatti on his way home he saw the roan, and recognized him, who sold her in Cuba. The facts above given are from one of the most reliable and responsible gentleman

in Mississippi, written to a distinguished m©mlx?r of Congress from that State. — f TIMKS. t A Moment of Terrible Suspense. Mr. Jerome, of West Waterford, N. Y., had reached the centre of tho railroad bridge at Cohoos, when a train came thundering along. There was no , room to stand on the side of the track, ] no timo to return, his only safety being in dropping down beneath tho ties and banging suspended over the river fifty feet beneath. Bracing himself for the strain, he lot himself down, clasping hi» arm* tightly about the cross piece. The train having passed, he found that he lacked strength to lift himself up again. He shrieked for aid, and tried in vain to draw himself up by the strength of his arm. His hold was weakening and death seemed near. He was about relinquishing his grasp and resigning himself U) his fate when he heard a cry of encouragement. He rallied his forces for another struggle. But his fingers were slipping, his hold relaxing. His hope was gone, when he felt his arms grasped, and ho was saved. When drawn up he was un&blo to stand. — Csiidbx Comma. 4 • + ♦ A Peor Argument. Wa can understand how a man maybe opposed to what he condders a violation of established precedent in tho nomination of a Presidential candidate for the third time ; but bow any otic with sense enough to como in when it rains can babble about such an event having a tendoncy to bring about an "empire" or Sn any way jeopardicing our free institutions, If simply incomprehensible, It is alt intuit to the American people to sup. pose that any man or set of men in this country has the power to change this Republic of fifty millions of free people into a monarchy, and it Is a' pity that these drivelers couldn't see their own insolence and idi 0oy as plainly as eyerybody else sees the absurdity of what they assert te be a threatening danger. — v. j. Ootftm. A Good and Wholesome Harvest Drink. Af aloholio drinks have happily long been driven from the harvest fields, there have been various drinks besides water substituted, but scarcely any of them gaeeUng fully the aonditions eon gilt for ie tbfc**y*of a wholesome, •

NUlafying Weraf*. -Wnur, u*en In all Ite purity, doaa not Mom to quench the thirst and stimulate the body, as it pre duces additional perspiration and passes through the pores almost like passing through a oolaiider, leaving the system exhausted and weak \ besides, a drink of oold pater, when suffering under u great degree of heat, is dangerous, even at times producing sudden death. Latterly in England and olsewliero a drink is prepared by mixing oat-meal with water, in the proportion of three or foui* ounces to a gallon of water. This is found not only to satisfy the thirst better than water, or molasses and water, even when tempered with vinegar or other aoid, but to produce additional strength of body. Oat-meal possesses a peculiar aroma and acts as a stimulant to the surface of the skin as to cause the complete digestion of the liquid. Mon employed in an atmosphere of tho intensest heat, are much comforted with it, ar.d become very fond of it. Henou it is in a measure "victuals and drink," possessing only virtues and without any draw bock whatever. . Just now the time is here to give it a trial ; and we shall be glad if at the end of the season those substituting the oatmeal and water, will make report as to tho results. — Gkemaxtown Tki.kguapu. Flashes from the Salem Sunbeam. — Quietness is often strength, silence wisdom. The swift stream is not always powerful, nor the noisy one deopest. — lie who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the Ibom, and will see the effect when the weaving of a * ' * J ,. ie# a * king and acting as 11 one sot of mon (and a small set at that) had all the theology worth having. — When men learn that a high reputation in a community is insufficient to cover aits of dishonesty, they will rely less on thoir standing, and more on truth and honor. — It is easy enough to destroy ; and there are always destroyers enough. It requires skill and labor to erect a building ; any able tramp can burn it down. God alone can form and paint a flower ; any foolish child CAn pull it all to pioccs. — We are born in hope ; we pass our childhood in hope j we ure governed by hops through the whole course of our lives ; and in our lost moments hope is flattening to us, and not till the beating of the heart shall cease will its benign influence leave us. — In general, pride is at tho bottom of all great mistakes. All the other positions do occasional good, but wherever pride puts in its word, everything goes wrong, and what might be ..desirable to do quietly and innocently, it is morally dangerous to do proudly.

—Words are nice things, but they strike hard. We wield them so easily that wo arc apt to forget their hidden power. Fitly spoken, they fall like the sunshine, the dew, and the summer rain — but when unfitly, like the frost, the hail, and the desolating tempest. * —As we stand by the sea-shore and watch the huge wave come in, we retreat, thinking we will be overwhelmed ; soon, however, they flow hack. 80 with the waves of troublo in tho world ; they threaten us, but a firm resistance makes them break at our feet. Important to Bathers . Avoid bathing within two hours after a meal. Avoid bathing when exhausted by fatigue or from any other cause. Avoid bathing when the bodT is cooling aftor perspiration ; but bathe when the body is warm, provided 110 timo is lost in getting into tho water. Avoid chill ing the body by sitting or standing naked on the shore or in l>oats after having been in tho water, leave the water immediately when there is the slightest feeling of chilliness. Avoid bathing altogether in open air, if after hay;ng l*en +4hort timo in the water, tli%r«S*1t sense of chilliness with numbnwn of tho hands and foot. Tha vigorous and strong may bathe early in the morning on an empty stomach. The young and those that are weak had better bathe three hours .after a meal. Those who are subject to attacks of faintness, and those who suffer from palpitation and other souse of discomfort at the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser. < ♦ » — Shavings.
