FRANCIS C. BARLOW, Secretary of State, A NEW DODGK.—An Atlanta corres- pondent of the- Chattanooga American Union writes:— Homo of the Atlanta merchants are shrewd. I hear of a good thing perpe- trated by one of them, which was relat- ed by hfm to a New York \drummer.\ The merchant aforesaid is in tho ready- made clothiiig business, and he told the gentleman from New York, that when a customer came in, after letting him try on several coats, he would say to him that he had a coat which he had given a gentleman to take home tho night before, but he was not satisfied with it, and returned it. Perhaps it migb* fit hi* customer. \ Now you know,\ says he, \ all men nre\niore or less dishonest, so I put a pockei-book iu one of the coat pockets, which only cost me thirl y or forty cents. When the man tries on the coat he puts his hands in the pockets and fueis the pockct-book T and ho buys the coat at once for a considerable advance on tho usual price. And he never comes book to see about it.\ €«!. Jolts* Jttwtoy. After nil tho horrible account* we had of tho rebel Colonel Mosby durinc tho war, it makes one smile U> read the following, which, as we find it publish- ed in the Anti Slavery Standard, ond the writer vouched for as a Boston lady and good authority! must bo from a radical source. The Boston lady in question is on a visit to Mosby, her ac- quaintance with tho family being often years dale. We extract the following from her letter i Warrenton is a protty* placo on the top of a high hill, and has a view of tho Blue Ridge, and a beautiful rolling country between. Before tho war, there wcro many rich families here, and thero are still quite a number ot really good houses. The hotel is noat and oomfortable. But tho utreeis are dread- ful tor ruts, mud holes and narrowness. The Itoidlord n»id \.Col. Mosby is now at the Court House, and I will send nt once and let him know you are here.\ He answered the message directly by coming. He wore his blue military cape With red linings nnd top rid.nar boots, and looks older, and improved with years since I last saw him. He askev) itia at onite to go home with him, but 1 Was too t)r<s<t from the drive, and preferred to rest that night a*, the ho- tel. Ne*t dny he onmo with his oldest liitlo girl, May, and took me throe mile\ to his home, over the muddiest road Willi the deepest fttis 1 evef pasce-d in a carriage. His wife met me at the door, a most gonileftrenwMesmd k-iwdly woman. They bate fetor bright* nfee children. The baby, Stewart, (named for General J. E. B. Stewart) is tho dearest little thing I ever saw. Every day I threaten to wnfiscalo her and carry her homei John is the g'etttfest and fondest of fathers. Has never spoken a harsh word to tho t'Jiildren since i came. His mother is here with me, nnd we go walking over the hills. This is such ft hilly country, full of little valleys With hills all around ; and if you go over n hill in any direction, you nre only in another valley all sur- rounded by hills. Little valleys just large enough for one farm. Fiom some of the hills we see the Blue Ridge tow- ering ovar all. This is six miles from Warrenton Springs, where Mrs. Mow- att used to go summers. Our troops burnt all the buildings there. Shanties M-enow being put up, which are already engaged by Richmond families and others for the fashionable.season. Every body is a s klod and polite nx possible, and there is no shadow of danger to mo anywhere. They are thoroughly impressed with the superi- ority of tho North, because if. has beat- en them ! John Mosby says, \ You had money enough to hint all the na- tions of tlie earth to fight for yon. You must have spent millions ; for all the last of the war I didn't capture a man that could speak good English.\ I have had a great many conversa- tions in which people have freely said they yet hoped for an independent gov- ernment. They do not think (who does?) the Military bill just, because the negro population through large numbers can outvote the whites; while in many Northern States they are not allowed to vote. • * I never felt before so much the difference between Northern and Southern character. Wo are ma- tured, thoughtful, reasoning, cold and stern beside thorn. John Mosby him- self is more a Northern man than any one I know hero. His lieutenaiit-colomi and many of his men seem a warmhearted, rolicking set, who love and admire their old com mander. I have set for hours listening to their stories of campaigning and nar. row escapes, til! it was like reading stories of Marion's Men, the Cavaliers, or Rob Roy. * They never had any encampment or headquarters, but kept their houses in the mountains, and slept in the woods, having tippoititments where to meet next. Mosby's command, never ex- ceeding five hundred men, was entirely distinot from Lee's and he was the only officer beside Lee that could grant fur- loughs. His orders wero to Capture trains and supplies, cat off all railroad communications, and in every way liar- rass the Union army, with amain view to draw off from the great body of our army as many troops as possible. And he estimates that he, with sometimes but fifty, and never more than live hundred men. kept about thirty thou- sand Union troops busy taking care Of them. General Grant nnd other Union offl cers of whom I have inquired, admit that Mosby did nothing contrary to the rules of warfare—and John says thero is nothing in the Military Biilthat pre- vents him from voting. He never took, or allowed his broth- er Willie (his adjutant) to take or ac- cept as a present from hjs men any thing taken from prisoners. Hn says it would have destroyed his influence if he had fought for plunder, and now he has not enough to even buy a house. His wife sent to Kentucky and got some of her patrimony, and has hired and fitted up this house quite comforta bly and nicely. He showed me traces on the wall* of the records with which thev were scribbled all over by our soldier*—their names and regim*nt—interspersed with a phrase that didn't read \ blest Mos- by 1\ Every house he knew of in the region bore the same allusion to him. I am delighted to find John and Wil- lie, as they always were, total absti- nence. John tells me the successful southern generals, Stonewall Jackson and J. E>. B. Stewart, were thorough temperance men. Ho speaks in terms of the highest admiration and praise of Colonel Charles Lowell as the best Union officer with whom he had any Conflict. 1 have passed a day with an aunt and cousins of Admiral Semme|, as they call him. Be lived with them from boyhood. Gen. Pefrfborton of Viekg burg notoriety, lives near. I have seen him. He seemed quilo embarrasiacl. You know ho was a Northerner and a United States officer, and resigned and Went into tho rebel service, and as he failed at Vicksburg, was gttupooted by tho rebels. So now he is without friends on either side. He suffers, and Is very sensitive, thoy tell mo. At ono locality among the Blue Mountains every body complains of weakness, because it is the spring time —they say. Tho horses are weak be- cause they are not well fed. A boy passod me there with a small load of wood drawn by four oxen* nnd they stopped every \'a\<r steps. I said \ Are your oxon sick, or tired T\ He replied, \ No, they are weak.\ People there live on coffee, ham and corn broad—an unhealthy, dyspeptic diet, and I do not wonder they nre weak. Mrs, Mosby's daughters told me that tor days together, during the war, they had lived on only potatoes, salt and milk. Lee's army eat corn IVom the cob for three days before he surrendered. The • Mosbys were at Lynchburg and heard the last guns of the war. One thing is remarkable—I have not heard a soul regret that sla very was gene. A Peculiar Case The Detroit Free Press of a recent drtte. g?tes tho following } Sixteen years ago Inst Wednesday, James Bay, then a resident of Pontine, was bitten by a rabid dog, bnjt exper; enced no serious effects from the bilo imlil one yenr from the day on which lie was bitten. He then felt some symptoms of the terrible disease, which soon developed into a most frightful attack. For six weeks ho was a raving maniac, and all hope of his recovery was abandoned; but an iron constitu lion and skillful nursing brongbl him out from the shadow of death, and be rallied, the disease fiirally passing off! He pursued tho' overt tenor of his way until the second anniversary, when he was again attacked, but with less se- verity than on the first occasion* The 20th day of jirrte in each sue cecding year has been the cccmion of a hydrophobic fit, the last of Which stt tacked him one week ago yesterday, at Sandwich, where .he was employed as brickmaker. The.usual symptoms were felt during the early part of the day, and Bay requested some of his friends to tie him, in order to prevent personal injury. Being frightened by bin per sonal appearance they refused to do so, and he continued at his work all day and until midnight, his usual time for quitting. Going to a neighboring barn, ho tried to sleep off the dreaded attack. After awhilo his companions heard a noise in the barn, and, fearing that it was as Bay had declared, went to his aid. An appalling sight greeted them. The poor victim wasi foaming at the mouth, biting at various objects, and to all appearance suffering the most horri- ble agonies. As soon as he caught sight of them, with eyes glowing like fireballs, nnd uttering an unearthly yell, he made a rush for thorn. The \party at once retreated, leaving Bay alone in the gloomy hayloft, wrought up l o the highest pitch of maniacal frenzy, and battling with an enemy that no mortal man can subdue. In one of his convul- sions he lifted a portion of the roof completely off, whieh evidently ex- hausted him, as nothing more was heard, and when his friends finally ven tured to look after him he was found in a sound sleep. He was at once se- cured and taken to a safe place, where he was kept tor several hours, 'and when he awoke nearly nil traces of the previous night'* awful experience had disappeared, and, wiih fie exception of the exhaustion produced by his great suflorings, was a» well as usual. -*»«,«. A Ferocious Clergyman. An occurrenoo in Harlemville, Co- lumbia county, week before last, has caused a good deal of excitement among the poopte bf the vicinity. A young lady was being courted by a gentleman whom her father, a clergyman, did-not approve. One evening they were seen by the reverend parent walking togeth- er. He was on ids way to prayer moot- ing at the time, and bottled up his wrath until the next morning, when he came down upon the young lady with a terrible birch rod, cuttinrr and man gliiig her flesh and bruising and discol bring her limbs most cruelly. The young man soon heard of the outrage, and on Sunday morning an elopement was planned and carried out, and the marriage ceremony performed by a neighboring justice, while the unsus- pecting father was preaching the gospel lo his parishioners; On returning home ho learned that his daughter was at a neighbor's, and on repairing thither was met by his new son-in-law, who pre- sented his marriage certificate, and coolly informed the indignant t'other that the lady was tinder his protection, and thai he should permit no farther use of birch twigs upon hef person. Of coiise the clergyman yielded to the majesty of the law, though considera- bly astonished. It is not supposed that the \ wayward couple *' will go down upon their knees for his forgiveness, though whether the brutal father will take such a otep remains to be (Men.

An Intrepid Ohambfcritffridv Galignani's Messenger, a Freneh p» 'pvr, tells the following ourioUs story i Annette, a chamberm'aid' of Marne^ had kept the rooms' of two wealthy bachelors foi' : several years. Site want- ed to get married, but hor lovor Was so' poor that she durst not venture. Tlitjte bachelors Werflf brotWersV and' one day\ they sold some property which they owned jointlv, and the iwo#ey,atnount-' ing to owe bimdlferl tfiovfsand' francs, was paid in the bills of the Bank of France, too late to take it to Paris that! afternoon. At midtwgfft sf great nbfsV was heard in the noftse. Aiinettn ran? and rapped at her m'asterYdhor,- saying that robbers Were at work below. \ You have a gun,\ says she t/tfhlra itf and shoot the villaifis,\ .. ( Both the bachelors wcro much fright- ened. Ono began to barricade tho door,- whilo the other removed a tile front thw' hearth to secrete tho bank bills. «' Fools I\ said the girl, \ they will murder ns all—give me the gun fl' ' She seized a double barrelled gWi' which lay upon tho shelf, and started' down stairs, tho two frightened m«fi' wntchlng her movements, not saying, a word. Presently bang went the guny and a groan was hoard—bang went the second barrel, and now a screech of pain resounded through the house.- Anncttee soon came tripping up stairsy and asked for powder and ball to re- load. The astonished bachelors gave her the requisite charges, but soon s'eps were heard retreating from the' house. All three then cautiously went down stairs, when, lo !• a pool of blood show- ed that one robber nt least had paid the penalty of his. rash attempt. In tho morning it was plain to be seen that tho body of the unhappy victim had been dragged by his companions trf the river. Blood marked tho whole^ dis- tance, and the police were instantb/on the aleft for the arrest.of the: living thieve? and tho discovery of the body of the dead ono. All was vain, howev- er, but the intrepidity of the p>w>r. girl was discussed far and near.. The grate- ful bachelors,, knowing-that ; Apnette' wanted to marry, prepared togiv.eher a.dower. r , \ Ah, monsienrs,\ replied she, \ho w can I leave you ? You may.: again bis' attacked by robbers.\ \ But we will not, nevertheless, srtnd- between you and happiness ', here aro thirty thousand francs; you saved ortr lives, and richly deservoahe n^oney, If you choose to live in this house Wft*' your husband, wo shall repair tho low- er part for that purpose, and you can then be paid for keeping our rooms neatly as nt present.\ .'.,-;, Annette did not hesitate to accept the dower and the bouse. It was marly years before' the real /acts relative to this midnight attack of robbers came to light. The rich bachelors Were theft' both dead, and had willed another thirty thousand franos to Annette. The robber, it appears, was not 6f the plural number, but only Annette's lover' alone. The Mood was from a lalhb that had been killed for the occasion. In- deed, the whole was but a ruse by the two lovers to open the hearts and; pureiHi of the rich naoholors.
