Nearly: every, pleasant day pedestri ans on our principal 'avenues, pass a dark -eyed brunette, of medium size, a plump figure and richly- dressed, In the early spring of 1861, Sue Kiter age, a lovely girl, just returned from boarding school, lived upon her fath er's plantation in one of the rural dis tricts in Kentucky, that hung in a bal ance, uncertain whether to risk her fate with the "fcew "Confederacy," or hang bac,kt She was 17, and a fre quent visitor t the adjoining planta tion of Mr. Mundy, an old gentleman whose wife and son, a young man composed a happy family. One day a company of Union cavalry rode down upon the place plundered the pre mises, carried ofithe valuables.. burn--ed the residenceacul finally slaught ered the, parents, who were defending their own fire-sides, laying waste the country in their track, and leaving young Mundy and Sue orphans in deed. Young Mundy was at last aroused, and while being carried off a prisouer, ho word escaped his lips but "Sue.!" .When asked his name, he repeated, "Sue," probably the effect of a disordered brain. His linen be ing examined, the indelible name of Mundy, was found, ;and ! ever after he was known as "Sue Mundy," the constant terror of Union citizens and soldiers in that section. Released on parole, he immediately returned and interred the charred remains of his own parents,, as well as of the body of Mr.K. Taking a solemn j and fearful oath of vengeance, and accompanied by Sue, who was now .without home Kor friends in the wide world, he start- ed for a neighboring camp of bush whackers, or guerrillas, where he was received with open arms! and was soon promoted to the office of com mander of the forced while Sue, dis guised and passing by the name of "Kit," an abbreviation ot Kiteradge, proved invaluable as a spy, a fearless rider, and of undoubted tiravery. Kit, alter serving nearly two years as a spy and general planner for the band, found her health failing J Disguised ana aimed with the highest testimo nials, she succeeded in securing a po sition on the staff of Geni Cleborne, the hardest fighting irishman in the rebel army. This position she held, doing her duty like a man, until the battle of Atlanta, July 12th, 1864, when Pat. Cleborne was killed. Re turning to her youthful hero and his band, she again revelled in the carni- al ot bloody and though her evil spirit was willing, the flesh was weak, and lit was again transferred to guard duty at Andersonville. Prisoners who have shared the hospitajity of that celebrated camp will perhaps remem ber a short, stout and muscular young Lieutenant, with flashing black eyes, a face smooth as a maiden's, and cruel as though a fiend incarnate lurked within. t This was Sue Kiteradge, the amiable young' boarding school miss, the cheerful companion, the once wealthy heiress, the beautiful maiden and friend of young Mundy, whose life to her was dearer than her own. Sue Mundy and a part of bis band were captured and tried by a court martial. Kit was present during the whole trial, and used heir greatest in fluence, but of no avail. Sue Mundy wcg convicted and hung at Louisville, Ky., in March, 1865.

The old est relic of humanity extant, is the skeleton of the earliest Fharoah, in cased in its original burial robes, and woqderfully perfect considering its age, which was deposited eighteen or twen ty months ago in the British Museum, and is justly considered the most val uable of its archaelogicol treasures.; The lid of the coffiii which contaiued the royal mummy,! was inscribed with the name of its. occupant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who succeeded the heir of the builder of jthe great pyramid, about ten centuries before Christ, On ly think of it i The monarch whose crumbling bones and deathly integu ments are now exciting the wonder of numerous gazers in London, reigned in Egypt , before Solomon wis born, and about eleven centuries cr so after Misraim, the .grandson of d father Noah, and the first of the Piaraohs, had been, gathered to his fathers !- Why, the tide-mark of th deluge could st arcely have been obliterated, or the gopher-wood knee-tinbers of the ark have rotted on Moun Ararat, when this man of the early wo d lived, moved, and had his being J lis flesh and blood were- contemporary witn the progenitors of the great inarch 1 Hi. hon. aivd eoiporarj with the nineteenth, refitu ry, and the; date of the Cruoinxion is only about midway between his era and ours. : j ' BYRON AND HIS DAUGHTER ADA. We have touched already on his deep affection for Ada. Madame Gu- iccioli tells us that the days in which he received a lock of her hair or her miniature were kept as days of solem nity and hallowed with inexpressible sadness. Even when in Greece, news ofi an illness of Ada affected him so deeply that hp wanot able to contin ue his journal.- -f.'l'he mother of Ada, he wotild say lfJ. Guiccioli, has had the imues -df childhood and her youth, lJuf the tears of her.woman- hood will be for me." He felt them springing for him warm and fast, afar across the dark valleys of time' and through the; frozen vapors of death. Years after, Col. Wildman, the suc cessor o(f Byron in the proprietorship of JVewstead Abbey, met 15yron7s daughter in the round of London soci ety, and invited her to come and visit the seat of her ancestors. Sixteen months before her death, Lady Love lace made ai visit to Newstead Abbey. In the .great library of the Abbey, Col. Wildman read one of the finest pas sages of Byron to Byron's daughter. Touched with the beauty of the verse she asked who was the author. 'The author!" said Colonel Wildman. "There is his portrait," (pointing to the pictujxtBlJSJyElPf? the wall of the library ;) and he recit ed yet more of Byron's poetry to her Lady Lovelace was mute with aston ishment; a new revelation burst in. upon- her. i)o not think this affecta tin," she said, "when I tell you tha I have been, brought up in complete ignorance of all thatregaids my fath er. ft From that mordent a passionate en thusiasm for all that recalled the mem ory of Byron took possession of her. She loved to shut herself for long hours in the apartments he j had lived in, and which still retained mUch ofthe furniture which Byron had touched and used. She loved to sleep in the room in wnich he slept. ;She gave herself up to lonely meditations on his exiled fate and his premature end, and endeavored, with intense yearning, out of the association of scenes over which his memory lingered, to extract some of that tenderness which she had been deprived in the glory of a great existence. From ; that time all other charms of life became insipid and col orless before her. , This child of By ron was inconsolable. She had been cruelly disinherited andjrobbed of the most priceless treasure vhicl it was in the power of heaven to bestow upon her the Parental affection of the no blest, most generous, truest, and most loving heart which ever beat in the bosom of a man. She waned and pin- ed and fell ill, very ill so ill she knew she must die; and then she wrote to Jol. Wildman a letter, begging him as a favor to let her be buried by the side of her father. "Yes, I will be buried tbere-i-not where mv mother can join me, but by the side of him v ho so loved Ime, and whom I was tiught not t love ; and this reunion of our bodies in the grave shall be an emblem of the union of pur spirits ia the bosom.of the Eternal." Byron was more than avenged. The father and daughter lie side by side in the village unurcn ot nucKnaii. -lieigra aii.- I 1 via. The Pacific Railroad.

'. - - DESPEBATE FIGHT BETWEEN TWO 1 liiiUi'AliUS. t Mander's menagerie, on Monday, ust before midday feeding, was the scene off a terrible fight between two of the largest leopards. It is usual, before feeding, to place large movea ble slides to separate the animals ; but before doing so, the keeper sweeps out the cagez and clears the groove in which the ld runs. While doing his he had great difficulty in keeping he two large leopards from commeii- slide than there - was a howl, and the two had commenced the fight. At this moment the sight was fearful. Both animals boldly confronted each other, crouching down, lashing their sides with their tails, and, making a spring, fell heavily, locked in each other's embrace; The struggle that bllowed was fearful. Their eyes were illumined with fury, and they were grappling each other on the ground. At this moment, Mr. Manders, who happened to be in the Living saloon, was sent for, and was immediately on the spot, and using every endeavor; to separate them, all of which was of no avail, Mr. Manders then procured a dug scraper, and deajt each a blow, which had the effect of separating them,only to renew the fight with greater xfierceness; and, making a second spring, they both fell with a fearful crash tVthe1 floor. The larger one seized the other by the shoulder, breaking the fore foot ; the other laid hold of the fleshy partof the-back Here the struggle was great. Strug gling and writhing in each other's embrace, they rolled together oyer and over. Mr. Manders, by this lime, had. had the slide brought, and dealing one a blow wih a large piece of iron causing it to release its hold and slouch to the other side, in the meantime the slide was slipped in. Mr.; Mander's attention was now directed to the one left prostrated on the floor, and which appeared to be badly .hurt, the -blood flowing freely, and the fore leg'being bfoken. - Mr. Manders despatched at once a messenger to Mr. Heyjcs, vet erinary surgeon, of Hatton Garden, wno, after, examination, found the limb to be smashed to pieces, and the leg broken in several placed, and pro nounced it to be beyond recovery Mr. Manders , then procured some prussic acid from Burnley, a chemist in London road, with which he pois oned it, and put it out of-its misery. Mr. Hey es discovered after its death that the leopard had received a com pound fracture of the near fore leg, and the scapula; in fact all the bones were smashed, the largest piece being only two inches, and the flesh being torn into ribbons, and one of the claws torn off.LtrerpooZ Postt Feb. 19. A ROMANCE IN COLORADO, A letter from Danver says : " A very pretty romance, in which a woman is not mixed Up, has' just happened in the mines. It runs thus: A soldier who had served through the war, soon after his discharge, came West to seek his fortune. I He drifted into the mines, and got hold of some claims which i were discovered to! be very rich. His captain, who had been very kind to him in the service, lived far to the East, and finding himself in want of a partnerx the young soldier determined to write to . the captain, who was poor, and ask him to come out and share with him his! good for tune. He did so. The captain came, and the ex-private made over to him, as a gift, one-third iUerest in all his mining claims. The captain was a shrewd man, the new firm prospered, and presently the genero.us young miner sent for an old friend who had been with him as a private in the same . ... i company, and made over to nis com rade another third of his mines. The company prospered amazingly, and grew rich. A few weeks ago the captain and the third member of the firm, longing to rejoin their families, and feeling that they were rich enough, proposed to sell out. They did so for $100j()00 each, and the rich ex-private was: the principal buyer. The other day! thi trio were seen walking along the street arm in arm, apparently cottent ed wilh the affairs of this world. They aye all three on their way East,' the head of the firm going to visit the ex- partners whom he has made so rich. After a short stay, in the East, the ricn young soiaier wm iciuru i tyeB and continue his mining operations, . MORGAN, THE RIFLEMAN. ;! - Daniel Morgan was a wagoner in the French and Indian war. He was, once injured by one British officer, and punished by another, for which he vowed vengeance. At . the begin ning of the revolutionary war, he raised a company of riflemen, which he drilled to perfection and instructed in the keen, unfailing aim oi the backwoodsman; At the battle of Sar atoga, seeing the day was going against the Americans, by reason of the extraordinary skill and energy of benct wy w . vision, be rgsolvedj to resort to the only measure ctirt eivable to arrest the tide of battle that threatened to over whelm them. Summoning to his pre sence the best marksmen in his com mand, whose aim was never known to fail, he said : "Murphy, do you see that officer on the iron-gray horse?" "Ye?, sir," w as the reply of the sol dier, Morgan rejoined, with an al most unfaltering voice, "Then do your duty." Murphy ascended a tree, cut away the interlaced branches with his hatchet, rested hisiifle on a sure place, watched his opportunity, and as soon as General Frazer had, in his anima ted movementscome within practical range, Murphy fired, and the gallant General, lell mortally vwounded, being shot in the centre of his body. The fall decided the day. The enemy soon gave way, and" Saratoga. became immortal. But Morgan, the rough soldier, was a man of tender feelings, and he almost wept at the deed, and always said it troubled him,' because it looked so much like a kind of as sassination of a brave and noble officer. Lineage of the Fairfax Family Debrett's Peerage, called by Thack eray the "Englishman's Bible,'' con- rtains many curious stories in reference tcrthe noble families of Great Britain. - When the last lineal heir of a title dies, there is always a long search for the collateral relatives, and frequently the. latter are; found in a positiori far t rcmuTcd rorii- iir-wcahh"nu -sratton from that occupied by the head of the hosue. Debrett, however, manages to keep these collaterals well advised of the probabilities of the future, and in this way is swelled out into undue proportions. The last edition, among many other romantic "episodes, con tains an account of the tenth Lord Fairfax in the peerage iof Scotland, who now holds, the office oX reporter of the Supreme Court of palifornia one of high position and responsibility ja the United Stattr, as the Peerage declares. A long story is also given! of a street fight in 1859, in San Fran cisco between Lord Fairfax and an ordinary reporter. Charles Snowden Fairfax, tenth Baron Fairfax, is col laterally refated to Thomas, the sixth Baron, who, having relinquished his English estates to his brother Robert came over to America, and settled at Greenwayr Court, a plantation of more than hilf a million acres of land in Virginia, which he inherited from his Fairfax, out of Virginia, is better known as the person who employed George Washington as a survey Or. On the death of Robert Fairfax, in 1793, the estate descended: to. Rev. Bryan Fairfax, a second cousin, who became eighth Baron. The present Lord Fan fax, great grandson of Bry an, was born at Vaucluse,' Fairfax county, Va., in 1829, and, succeeded to the title in 1846.
