The Daily Dispatch: February 2, 1865., [Electronic resource], Selling out. (search)
Selling out. A contemporary speaks of an idea said to be entertained by some persons, that it would be a good thing to make proposals to the Governments of England and France to sell out the whole Confederate establishment, "lock, stock and barrel," together with its interest in national independence and in the institution of slavery, as the dernier resort against Federal subjugation.

To the day of his death, this dwarf, named Richebourg, received a pension from the Orleans family of 3,000 francs a year, equivalent to £120 of our money. During the last thirty years he has lived in the same house, in the Faubourg St. Germane. Unlike Tom Thumb, he had a horror of appearing in public, and for nearly half a lifetime has never crossed the threshold of his own door. Not the least remarkable feature in the career of this creature, is the fact that he lived to the age of nin
