Marshal Ney's Identity.
HK'iS SAID TO HAVE BEEN A MARYLAND
TOBACCO PLANTER NAMED RUDOLPH.
Washington Star.
Your notice of the purpose of several
prominent physicians of Salisbury sec
tion (North Carolina) to exhume the
remains of Peter S. Ney from their;
grave at Third Creek, Rowan County,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
they are those of the famous Marshal
Ney, of France, &c, &c, recalls to mind
efforts made more than forty years ago
to ascertain and determine to my own
satisfaction whether or not one Micha
el Rudolph, who had a small farm on
which he cultivated chiefly tobacco, and
a small log cabin at the head of Chesa
peake Bay, after the peace of 1783
with Great Britain, was in after times,
the-Famous Michael Ney the Emper
or Napoleon's greatest marshal who
was condemned to be shotloy a coort
maftial at Paris during the possesion
of that city by the allies, and who-, it
was supposed at the time, was actually
shot by a platoon of his own corps.
The story of Michael Rudolph, supposed
to have Ijecome Ney bfemany persons,
is too long an one to oner for publica
tion now. The evidence I obtained at
the time from the columns of Paulson's
Advertiser, Philadelphia, of the alleged
testimony of Marshal Mortier of
France, one of the witnesses before the
couft in Paris which tried and found
him guilty of treason; who, it is sid,
in giving his opinion of Ney, said that
iii his opinion ""Ney would sell France
with as little scruple as he sold his plug
tobacco at Cherbourg. The efforts
of M. Geret, the notorious ex-minister
of France to the United States, whose
relation had married Ney to suppress
and stay the discussion commenced in
Potihoris Advertiser and other papers
the beliefs and members of the Ru
dolph family (on the wife's side), in
the vicinity Elkton, Md., Sopelo, Ga.,
and of published statements of persons
of the highest respectability of North
Carolina, and afterward residents of
Missouri, all went then to satisfy me
that Michael Rudolph, who was a sol
dier in our southern campaigns during
our Revolutionary war with Great Brit
ain, and given, by his comrades, the
soubriquet of the "bravest of the brave,"
which ne afterwards won in the Napo
leonic wars (''le brave des braves,") and
who, for,domestic reasons, oruspieions,
left the neighborhood of his log
cabin, one evening, went on boardof
his little freighting vessel, in which he
had. been in the habit of carrying his
own and his neighbors1 tobacco from
the Chesapeake to the West Indies, and
disappeared, never again to appear in
that vicinity, as Michael Rudolph.
When our commissioners, sent to the
French directory, were in Paris, and
before being ignoininiously ordered out
of the country. Mr. Monroe also saw
and recognised him, it wjis said. Mr.
Laurens (think it was, of South Caro
lina) is reported to have said toafnend
on his return home, "Do you remem
ber the soldier, Michael Rudolph, who
was so gallant in our struggle, and who
was called by his Comrades 'The bravest
of the brave?' ,v "Yes," jsaid hia friend.
"What of hip?' "Well, before the
Directory sent us our passports we were
preserft at a .grand review oa-the
Champs de Mars, and there I saw Ru
dolph, litterally 'in high feather as a
general officer of the French army."
Mr. Monroe also saw and recognized
him, it is said. Whether Marshal Ney's
skull waS trephined or not, or whether
it is a matter of importance or interest
to the people of this country that Mi
chael Rudolph, of "North fiast," at the
head of Chesapeake Ray, and the fa
mous Michael Ney, held marshal of
France, was one and the same man, I
am satisfied in my own mind from the
investigations I made more than forty
years ago at Elktown, Md., and the pa
pers published in St. Louis Mo., long ago
after I had concluded my inquiries,
that Michael Rudolph, "the bravest of
the brave" in our Continental Army,
and Michael Ney, Preach" fieldrfnarsha
(most unjustly jcondemed by a coerced
military tribunal in Paris, France, in
181 o), were one and the same man.
R has been said and never (to me)
satisfactorily refuted that a noor soldier
was pensioned by the .bnipire, and
when he asked for what that bounty
was bestowed upon him, he was toW,
his name was Ney, and he was the
father of the great Field Marshal,
Bot-Cuiboro. The descendants of he
French Marshal are rich, and were, un
der the second empire, powerful. The
Maryland (Elkton and vicinity) and
the Sopelo. Georgia, Rudolph are I fan
cy, content to let the name of the man
who deserted his wife without sufficient
- .
cause (as asserted 40 years ago) rest in
tne nousenoids or these most worthy
anu respeciaDie descendants. i. a. j.

Michael Hey.
"One of the bravest of Napoleons
Marshals, was born at Saarlouis on
January 10, 1769. His father, who
had been a soldier, gave .him a fairly
good education and obtained fdr him
an appointment in some neighboring
mines.
But his heart was set on the army,
and in 1787 he Vent to Metz and en
listed in a regiment of hussars. But
for the revolution he could never have
become more than a sargeant, but in
the new state of things he was elected
lieutenant and afterwards captain of
his regiment. He was promoted col
onel in September 1 704, and his merits
were so great that Jourdon and Kleber
actually quarreled which should have
his servicejg.
In February 1795 he modestly refus
ed the rank of general of brigade. He
commanded the advanced guard of
Kleber at the battle of Altenkirchen
and wa? made general of brigade on
the field of Torchiem.
In 1798 lie was sent to Switzerland
and there reorganized Massena's caval
ry and distinguished himself in Mas
sena's great campaign in which he
was three times wounded and after,
which he was made general of division.
In 1802 he married Mademoiselle
Auguie, whom Josephine had chosen
for him at Bonaparte's request.
In the name of the army he begged
Napoleon to declare himself emperor
and on the establishment of the Em
pire lie Wits made Marshal of France
and grand cross of the Legion of Hon
or. In 1805 for his victory at Elchin
gen he was made duke of Eleingen.
He missed. the battle of Austerlitz, but
was present at Jeno Eylan and Friend
land and was so instrumental in win
ning the latter that Napoleon called
him brave's des braves and gave him
the grand eagle of the Legion of
Honor. j
In 1810 he was in command o a
corps in Portugal under Massena but
they quarreled so much that Ney was
recalled and given command of 3rd
corps in the grand army of 1812.
In the disastrous retreat at Moscow
it was Ney who commanded the rear
guard and kept what was left in tue
army together.
He served at Lutzeii and Leipsic,
and in the last defensive campaign
of 1814, and with Macdonald remained
faithful to Napoleon to the last.
In 1815 he was given command of
the army sent to check Napoleon on
escaping from Eiba, but the sight of
the old colors and his old commander
was too much for him and he led his
troops over to Napoleon's side. In the
Flemish campaign he fought the bat
tle tif Quartra Bras against the English
on the same day that Napoleon defeat
ed the Prussians at Ligny and at
Vaterloo he commanded in person the
last charge of the Old Guard.
He made no attempt to leave France
and was arrested as a traitor; on De
cember 5th he was found guilty of
high treason by the House of Peers
and sentenced to be shot."
Two days after he was supposed to
have been sht in the garden of the
Luxembourg Paris. Shortly after
there was a revulsion of feeling in re
gard to Ney, a handsome monument
was erected and his supposed body was
taken up and placed in a new grave.
His family assert that when his body
was taken up there was bullet holes in
his skull and breast.
"The character of Ney was that of
a simple soldier; intensely brave though
without the rash impetuosity of a
Murat, he was yet as modest as he was
brave! as a general his conduct of the
two retreats from Portugal and Russia
are his chief titles to fame."

A boat Tobacco.
This is the way Bill Nye puts it in
the Boston Globe.
No doubt some of the finest flavored
smoking tobacco in the world is grown ,
in this State. It is a bright and beau
tiful golden color, as thin as tissue pa-' '
per, and smells well while in the act ot
feeding itself to the devouring ele
ments. Tobacco has been known to our race
for about four centuries, and during !
that time it has made wonderful
strides.
It is sad to think of the suffering
that existed throughout the length and
breadth of the land before tobacco was
discovered.
Tobacco is grown upon the rich, red
hillsides of North Carylma and Vir
ginia, by means of agriculture. The
Venetian-red soil of the South has to
be fertilized before it wibfroduee much
tobacco. The best fertilizer is the
handiwork of Signor Guano of Peru,
whose works are very popular in the
South.
The soil is tickled with a hoe, and
African humorists who can amuse a
plantation iu this way readily command
a salary of about $7 per month.
Fertilizing is quite expensive, and it
requires a good crop to get even on the
year's expenditures for labor, fertilizers,
etc. One man 1 heard of the other day
old his crop two weeks ago, and still
lacked $4.$5 of having enough to pay
off Mr. Guano.
Such things as these do much to dis
courage
the use of agriculture as a
means or relaxation in tne bouth.
Tob ceo is a strong growing, herba
cerous, fuzzy annul, rising frequently
to a height of six feet unless "topped."
The only ornament worn by the adult
tobacco plant is a large thick-set worm,
i i i .i
which may be secured by imbedding!
him between the leaves of Mr. Web-1
ster's verbose dictionary and then deftly
closing the volume.
On opening the book years afterward
the still features of the worm may still
be detected.
Tobacco is not sold at the South by
the producer at a regular price per
pound, hut he hauls it into the ware
house, and when there is a break or
sale his tobacco is sold at auction,
though sometimes it is bought at pri
vate sale.
The pinhooker is a, peculiar feature !
of the private sale business. Pin hook
ers work in threes. Pinhooker A goes
to the horny-handed producer and says:
"I will give you $80 for your lot ; tobac
co is falling a little to-day, and I will
not hold that offer goodf or more than
an hour." The producer refuses to ac
cept the offer.
Pretty soon pinhooker B comes up
to him and says: "I'll offer you $08 for
your lot if you give me a reply soon.
What do you say ?"
The planter gets a little scared
over the falling market but refuses to
sell.
Then C conies in and offers $00 if
accepted promptly, and the now thor
oughly frightened toiler rushes around
to tin A and accept his offer. But A
says it is too late the market is too
shakey. He then scours the premises
for B, who reluctantly takes the goods
at about 15 less than they are worth.
This is smother reason why the do
main of agriculture at the South is
now rarely invaded by the white man.
Tobacco is used in the preparation of
snuff, fine-cut tobacco and plug tobacco.
It is frequently used also to flavor ci
gars and sometimes in the better grade
of cigarettes.
The exports of tobacco from 1850 to
1872 increased from $G,51 7,251 in val
ue to $28,547,802. Ten years ago the
internal revenue from tobacco was
nearly 40,000,000.
For vearsit has been a favorite amuse
ment on the part of the United States
to jerk a few millions of revenue now
and then out of that poor tobacco ag
riculturalist and soak the amount into
the various revenues whern the great
sausage grinder-of government needed
more means.
That is the reason why so many
nickel cigars are being sacrificed at the
rate of two for a quarter.
Other information regarding the
great tobacco industry is liable to
follow close upon the heels of this trea
tise. The Beautiful Indian Maiden.
You have read of the beautiful In
dian maiden. I have and 1 thought

doesn't look like you think she
would. She is generally a big, fat,
filthy looking creature, with a blanket
around her that comes to her knees,
bareheaded, with moecassins oa that
she generally pulls off when they are
worn out. The blanket is fastened
at the neck and also with a belt at the
waist. One thing, and one only, I

The jay bird said to the horny owl :
"it I were you, old Twit-tu-whoo,
1 would not in the dark night prowl,
But-hunt while skies are bright and

Hunt food by day, sing roundelay.
Nor court the moon with mournful

Nor children scare and raise their hair
All out of curl, you crusty churl;
And I'd let the gray oid wood-mice

"Tu-whit, tu-whoo ! If I were you,"
With bitter scrowl replied the owl,
"Mind my own biz' I would, you phys

Just here a hawk, on his morning

In search of something nice and
sweet,
Swooped down beside 'em for a ride
(As was his wont when tired his
feet,)
On jaybird's back, Jay's bones to crack,
Jay s fancy gown to strip right down !
"Stop !" cried the owl, with angry

MORAL.
An ordinary quarrel oft
Is changed to melodies most soft
When 'gainst a common enemy
We must make common cause or die.
How oft have hunger, sword or fire
Tamed foolish, rash, fraternal ire !
How oft a poor man's drowning cry
Hath reconciled his enemy,
Who there hath given the helping hand
That cooled their wrath and blest the
land !

True Politeness.
A Kind heart is the first essential of
true politeness. The other day we saw
a poor woman, her arms laden with
bundles, trying to open the lid of a
street letter-box. Dozens of people
jostled by her without offering help,
but presently a finely dressed young
lady came along who with her daintily
gloved hand, lifted the lid, then smiled
and passed on, as if she were iu the
habit of being thoughtful for others.
The same spirit characterized the fol
lowing act, told in the Christian Ad
vocate :
An aged truckman bent under
the
His

balehook fell from his hand and bound
ed into the gutter out of reach.
Twenty idle clerks and salesmen saw
the old man's predicament, and smiled
at his look of bewilderment. No one
ventuied to help him. A fashionably
dressed young woman" came along,
kiok in the situation at a glance, and,
without looking to the right or left,
stepped into the gutter, picked up the
hook in her dainty, gloved fingers, and
handed it to the man with a pleiisant
smile. The idlers looked at each
other, and at the fair young woman.
The old truckman iu a violent effort
to express his thanks politely, lost his
hat. It rolled into the gutter where
the hook had been. This was almost
too much for any woman, young or
past young, but this New York girl
was equal to the occasion. Into the
gutter she tripped again and got the
soiled hat YVhen she handed it to the
truckman, a happy smile was seen to
play about her lips. "God bless ye,
miss," the man said, as the fair maiden
turned her back on the idlers and went
on her way.

The Potato Bag.
Thin bug is not very large by him-
self. bat he is coming in now for a
large amount of attention in this city
especially on account of his number.
The bugs have arrived here in millions
and are increasing every day, causing
uneasiness among truckers and garden
ers for their potatoes. The N. C. Ex
periment Station, that department has
oeen furnished the following which
will prove of interest and be profit
able: Numerous inquiries from different
points indicate that we are having an
unusually numerous visitation from
this destructive beetle. The impression
prevails that they have been multiply
ing and extending throughout North
Carolina in the last few years. Last
summer the moisture in the ground
favored the development of the pups,
and thie probably accounts for our ex
tra crop of the beetle this year.
This insect, which was first exten
sively noticed in the far West in 1861,
traveled eastward, at first at a rate of
sixty to seventy-five miles a year. But
it must have gained strength tramping
because it got to the Ohio by '09 and
appeared in this State four or five years
ago. Its ravages appear greater the
first few years; then people learn to
fight them better, and we do not hear
so much about them. In this State we
hear that they are very numerous
about Raleigh and Tarboro. As they
may have come to stay, we will repeat
the oft told tale of the Dorypnora
decem-ineata, the Colorado or Western
Potato bug.
Each female deposits 1,000 to 1,200
eggs upon the under node of the young
leaves, in clusters, more or less regu
larly arranged. The larva? hatch in
six days; there are several broods annu
ally and the last brood of them passes
the winter as pupae in the earth. The
pupa? remain during summer as pupa?
only from ten to twelve days. Then
comes the perfect beetle, which is
ready to lays eggs in about fifteen days
from the egg. This period varies with
the weather and the supply of food.
The eggs are yellow and a t iched to
the leaf by one end; the larva is pale
yellow with a reddish tinge, and a
lateral row of black dots. It is at this
stage that they do their mischief, feeding
upon the plants about seventeen days.
The beetle is distinguished by his ten
separate stripes, five on each side
It is said that lime will keen the
lavae back, but knocking them off with
a paddle is the surest way to destroy
them. Paris green mixed 'with ten
parts of flour, or eight parts of dry
wood ashes, dusted over the plants
when the dew is on them, will kill
them at once. Paris green coots from
15 to 2 ) cents a pound.
Do not use it stronger than the
above and avoid breathing the dust as
far as possible.

Knights of Labor in the Country.
We have reliable information that
this organization is secretly at .work
in our county forming assemblies.
This work is being carried on very se
cretly in certain sections of the coun
try, the plan being to organize the
colored element. Heretofore this or
der has confined itself principally to
the cities. The plan is now to get in
the farm hands as well. The colored
population of the South presente a
tempting eld, because of the fast
political influence it will give in na
tional contests, if it can iut be secured.
Theu, too, it will furnish considerable
revenue to help to support the order
during strikes in the cities. In other
words, these farm laborers will be
taxed to support the Northern me
chanic during the strikes. These
strikes have drawn so considerably
upon the funds of the order that some
thing must be done. The scheme for
this country; is to get the negroes
thoroughly organized before harvest,
when they willsfcrike for higher wages.
There is a Pennsylvanian, a new comer,
in the southern portion of the county,
a mechanic by trade, who is now, and
has been, very busy in this direction
for some time. If this plan is carried
out, of course it is going to create Con
siderable aunoyance, Joss and trouble,
both to the employer and employed.
Our farmers should get up a counter
organization and nip this thing in tho
bud if they can. If they cannot do
this they should be prepared, as far as
possible, to meet the issue. Charlottes

A gentleman writing us from Brooklyn,
N. V., with reference to our item about
the Yankee lawyer's offering to restore au
old record book of Chowan county for
$100, answers our question "What ought
to be done with such a fellow?" an follows:
"Pubiish his name and address. I
promise you the (r. A. R. men of hu
town will make it hot for bjm,if he should
refuse to return it." Our correspondent

by Madame De Stael, that FTouud h
ginia while with my regiment in front of
Petersburg, during the fall of 18tt4. I am
anxious to return it to its owper, as I am
assured it will serve to bring back to him
pleasant memories "of days departed
never to return.'1 Will you help me to
find him? The following inscription is
on the flv leaf: "Harrison P. Lyon. Fieb'y

officer who fell on the lield of buttle. He
was from the neighborhood of Whitakers'
and went out as a private in the Bethel
regiment. He afterwards became a lieu
tenant. .The News and Observer will be
very happy to aid Mr. Wright in restor
ing the "philopcna present" with its as
sociations to whomsoever it may now be
long. Raleigh Neirs and Observer.
