IIOX. WILLIAM ALLEN. ;
The Story of an Even tfal Life.
Mr. Allen was self-made, of more than
ordinary ability 'and as a public man for
many years occupied a conspicuous pim-i
tion. He was bom at Eden too, - Chowan
county, N. C, in 180(3, ejarly ; lost his
parcuts, and theu drifted to Lynchburg,
Va., where he remained until J822, work
lug as a baddlers apprentice, when he
determined to so to Chilicothe. Ohio.
where his half-sister,' the mother of the
Hon Allen G Thurmau, resided. Young
Alleu was poorly educated, but self-reliant,
and he made almost the entire trip
on foot, in mid-winter, through frequent
snows and intensely cold weather, having
as a companion a drover, and this for
only a portion of the distance. On ar
riving at Chilicothe his sister placed
him in the academy there, where he rer
mained two years, and thn, at eighteen
years of age, entered a lawyers otfice.
He was admitted to practice before
he was twenty-one years M age, and be
fore reaching the age of twenty-four had
achieved considerable reputation as a
lawyer, particularly iu criminal cases.! In
he received the Democratic noiHlna
tion for Congress in a district which was
Whig by from 1,500 to 2,000 majority,
but he made a brilliant eaiivass and was
elected by one majority iuf a vote of 10,
000. At the next election Mr. Allen -was
defeated by a small majority, but ran 1,
500 votes ahead of bis ticket. In 1837,
when only thirty-one yeaijs of age, he ivas
elected to the United States Seusite. and
took his seat March 4, where lie because ii
eader. Just before-the! exnirationr of
lis term he went directly before the pjeo-
ne ot unio as a candidate for re-electikm.
The result was that the Democrats had
a handsome majority in tihe Legislature
f nd Mr. Alien whvS re-elected without im
position. In the Demoe atic National
convention of ld4d, which met ith Balti
more, so bitter was the contest between
the friends of Cass aud Van Bureu. the
ending candidates, thatL to prevent a
division, acommittee composed of ihen
from both factious, wailed on Senator
Allen, in Washington, ainl urced him to
accept the nomination for the presidency,
but he persisteutly refused to allow his
name to be used, taking the ground that as
lie had been an earnest advocate of Csiss's
nomination, to accent a nomination him
self would bo a betiaval of his friend.
He afterwards made a canvass of New
York and Pennsylvania in) favor of Cass,
Mr. Allen then retired from imblic.life from
which he did not emerge ajgain until 1874
when be ran as the Democratic candidate
forJovernor of Ohio, and was elected by
about 1 ,000 minority, his associates i o n

Riciimoxd, July 15. --George Lewis, the
negro, aged ljineti'eii, who murdered his
grandmother h January last iu Chester
tield county, and Jwas subsequently1 sen
tenced to be hanged, having obtained a
new trial, was again arraigned yesterday.
1 he jury, much against the prisoner s
wish and the fearnest protest of his coun
sel, was composed entirely t of negroes,
and is therst of this kind empanelled iu
Virginia to try a capital offeuce. The
testimony at this trial w as much stronger
than at the first, as the prisoner's con
fession, showing premeditation, was ad
mitted as e viclenc. The crime for which
Lewis was trid wjas most brutal and un
provoked, as' according to his own ad
mission his victim ordered him to per
form tome trival'1 service which was
not to his liking. He thereupon made
up liU mind that iu& Avould put an end to
her dominion (ovei him, and in the; after,
noon of the sa.me.day shot her deliberate
ly wfttb an old anny musket, literately
blowing off the greater portion of her
head. Tula trial occupied all day, until
near midnight when the case was given
to the jury, who, after au hour's delibera
tion, returned a verdict of murder in the
second degree!,; and fixed his punishment
at eighteen years ju the peniteutiary.

How to Swim.- Nothing is more easy.
When the air ia out of a body itk owner
sinks; when the air is in the body its
owner floats. Let any one slow ly d raw
in his breatb as he draws back his legs
and pushes forward his arms, retain it
while he is prepariug for the stroke which
is to propel him. and slowly allow it to
go through his lips as his arms are passed
back from before his head to his sides
and his legs are stretched out. The ac
tion of the stroke should not be quite
horizontal, but should be made ou a
slight incline downward. The real reasou
why people take weeks to learn how to
swim is because swimming professors
either do uot know or do uot choose to
teach the philosophy of breathing so as
to render the body buoyant. 1 would

placed under a high pressure of chlorine

tlie coutentsjiie discharged into filleting
tanks, the -clear fluid pissing into the
precipitating tauks, where the gold is
precipitatel. After this process the fluid
is passed into another tank and the cop
per is precipitated. The amount of cop
er saved will pay the running expenses
of the mill house. This process saves all
the metals, aud if silver jappears in any
quantity it can be as easily saved. Mr.
Davis says the experiment has proved
itself perfectly practical, and that he has
clearly demonstrated the fact that our,
aud not only our but allJ sulphnret ores,
csui and will be profitaH handled. The
cost will he as little or less than bv any
of tlie old processes, and then when the
satfd is thrown away itMill take a No. 1
chemist to find even a trace of gold iu it,
as all the gold is saved! Mr. Davis also
intends to save the sulphur, which can be
done at a very small expense, and also
manufacture sulphuric 'acid.

The great 4ay of heat in St. Louis last

of deaths occur retl from overheat, was
July 18th. Saturday was probably the
hottest day iu Wilmingtou during the
ceutury. The thermometer at 3 o'clock
P. M. stood aj; 99 in our office, which is a
favorable situation near the river. It
was over 100 in many localities. It stood
143 in the sun. It reminded us of what
a humorous cprrespondeut once wrote us
concerning the heated term in a certain
North Caiolitia town. He said it was so
hot it wafva common thing to see a pair
of empty booijs standing ou the street,
and a copious stream of greese running
along the pavement. The owner had

Swiss Bridal Custom. In these times
when all are, or ought to bo practising
economy, it would be well lor us to adopc
the Swiss custom of giving bridal pres
ents. The bride makes a list ;of such
thin:s as are needful for housekeeping,
with which her parents are not ' able to
iirpNh. her. The list is sent to her friends.
One will say, "I will send her this," find
mark that as provided for. Another will
me her that, aud sometimes wuen any
thing valuable is needed, two or three
w ill combine and buy it. After vhe wed
ding the couple usually start on a jonr-
nev, and when they return they will find
all these presents in their new home with
the names of tlie donors attached. Now
this is com of it without ostentation. Our
way is ostentation without comfort.

while cutting wheat, Mr. Win. Thompson
and a negro named Forrest . dhad some
words, when the negro drew'i.iscythe on
Mr. Thompson, who thereupon went be
fore a magistrate and procured a warrant
for! his arrest. John Thompsob, deputy
sheriff, went to execute the warraut, and
on (approaching the negrdon horseback
he (the negro) hailed him with the remark
that if he dismounted he would kill him.
Thorn psou alighted and drew his pistol
aud commanded the negro to surrender,
but he did not do so. While in pursuit

ba(ls taking efi'ect and producing severe
wounds. The balls have been extracted
and the negro was still living at last recounts.
The New York Commercial Advertiser,

curable fanatics who have little money or
influence, the people of the North feel no
desire to break up the present Southern
labor fsy stein, and will contribute a hun
dred dollars to transport the refugees
back to their homes from Kansas, to every
one dollar given by any rabid hater of
the South toward depriving her capital
ists of the only available labor for them.
As long as Southern whites treat the
blabka fairly, they may rest assured that
no such unfriendly scheme will find many
friends iu the North.
