In about ten min utes down the street he came, leading a line of nineteen boys, marching single file, each bearing a good gun, and followed by their venerable mother.— They entered the merchant’s store, and ranged along the counter, the storekeeper ran his eyes along the line with astonishment. “ And you say these are all yours ?” he inquired. “ Ask their mother—she says they are,” replied the old man. “ Do you say they are yours?” he inquired. “ Yes, I do, and I ought to know,” was the reply. “ Well, you might, I’ll swear,” said the storekeeper. “Old friend,” he added, “ I ain’t got a word to say— jest take them hats and mine too I” How much the heart may bear and yet not break; n »v m :c’» thj flesh may suffer,'-yet not die!

Every one has heard the phrase but few know its origin. The following account of it is good enough to be true: Many years ago a fine looking old gentleman from Western Virginia en tered a store in Nashville, Tennessee, isaid store was owned by a bluff, hon est old trader, who knew more about the quality of the counter than he did about the fineness of the fabrics on it —nevertheless, between the two ex tremities of that shelf contriving to make both ends meet the necessity of the case. The Virginian cast his eyes around the shelves and finally remark ed : “ Well, neighbor, I see you’ve got hat.-.” “ A slight sprinkle,” was the an swer. “ Whar ye from ?” “ Old Virginia,” was the response. “ Right smart old State,” replied the Tennesseean, “ but getting rather too old to keep her own.” “ What do you mean ?” inquired the Virginian. “ Well, just what I say, uncle ; she can’t keep her liar on; for instance, now, I should think you hav been a right healthy child of the Old Domin ion, but she has “ shed” you at last, and, like Samson of old, that’s the way she is loosing all the best har off her venerable head.” The old Virginian looked around the store rather bothered with the lib erty this Tennessean was taking with his mother State, and finally re marked : I came here to talk about hats, stranger, and not har.” Well, well uucle, don’t get wrathy now. I was only venturing a political opinion about population in general, and on that we won’t quarrel, but be fore we look at the hats, as they are intimately connected with the heads, ’spose we take a mite of bald face.” The proposition was agj-eed to, the liquor was imbibed, and next follow ed the hats. The merchant tossed down four or five wool hats of various, 6izes, aud invited the old gentleman to select one wiucl\. would fit him. He looked at them, examined the sizes, said they would do, aud requested the store keeper to hand him a few more. “ That is all the sizes I’ve got,” said he, “ but here’s a few more, if you’d like them better,” aud so saying he tossed down three more. “Them are all right,” said the old Virginian, turning them around, and the stout old storekeeper, blowing with exertion, descended from his perch, where he was straddling from shelf to counter. As soon as he reached the floor, the old Virginian remarked that he had not got enough yet. “ Oh you want ’em f6r. your nig gers T says the storekeeper. “Well, why didn’t you say so when I was up f ’ and again proceeded to perch himaelf up like a mercantile Colossus. When Miss Kellie Grant and (jnecn Victoria. The San Francisco “ Chronicle” has received through private sources a let ter written by Mis3 Nellie Grant to Queen Victoria, previous to her recent visit to Windsor Palace. Its charm ing simplicity and thorough good sense —if it be authentic—put beyond ques tion all doubts as to the nature ot the visit and the feeling which prompeted it. It reads as follows : Langley’s Hotel, May, 1872. My Deak Lady and Queen.—I ant embarassed at the honor of an of ficial request, given through a high officer (your Lord Chamberlain, I think.) to be presented to your Ma jesty. I should dearly love to see you, that I might tell my mother aud father that I had been thus honored. I am but a simple American girl; that lam the President’s daughter gives me no claim to your recognition as a sover eign. If, with the kind lady who is acting as my chaperon, I might visit you, I should be very glad. Our Sec retary of Legaton hints at some polit ical significance in this opportunity.— I cannot so interpret it, would not like to be so received, because it would not be right, as I am nothing in American politics, and I am sure that ray father would not desire me to appear any other than as *niy simple and very humble self. If, with this explana tion, your Majesty will allow me to visit you, I shall be greatly honored and be very proud. I have written this note of my own notion, and because I think it the right thing to do. I am your Majes ty’s very obedient servant and ad mirer, Nellie Grant. The reply is equally refreshing, and betrays a spirit which does more hon or to the British Queen than multi tudes of other actions for .which her subjects have loudly applauded her: Windsor Castle. Miss Nellie Grant—I have in structed Lady to convey to .you this note, and we shall receive you as the daughter of your honored parents without the intervention of high officers of the State I shall ac cept your visit as an “ American girl,” and there shall l>e no other signifi cance in the fact than your kindly ex pressed desire to Ece the lady and not the sovereign. I shall find it pleasant to forget that I am Queen in receiving you to-morrow afternoon at our palace of Windsor. Victoria. week in July. M. Rouzaud is a French gentleman about 116 years of age, and is a stock broker, now residing iu Paris. Miss Nilson first met M. Rouzaud in Paris, when she went to that city some seven years since to begin her brilliant career as the “Queen of Song.” Since that time they have been devotedly attached to each other. During Miss Nilsson’s tour iu America M. Rouzaud made a brief visit to this country, at which time Miss Nilsson gave him the promise of her hand and heart. The delighted Frenchman re turned to his native land overjoyed. This union is founded on love alone. M. Rouzrud is by no means a wealthy man, his property having been impair ed by the late war. Miss Nilsson has hail many offers of marriage from titled noblemen and front most wealthy gentlemen, both in this country and in Europe, hut to all she bus turned a deaf ear. Ollier private letters, received in this city during the past week by friends of Miss Nilsson, states that this wedding will lie one of the grandest and most brilliant that have taken lace on the continent for many year-. The bridwl pair intend to sojourn in Switzerland during their honeymoon, and Miss Nilson will reappear on the operatic stage in Russia in Septembar next. Dr. Fordyce Barker, of this city, who is now in Europe, will rep resent Miss Nilson’s most intimate New York friends at the wedding.— Notwithstanding her legious of Euro pean admirers, Miss Nilson seems most anxious of meeting those to whom she became devotedly attached while in this country, She has already for warded earnest invitations for them to be present at the marriage.

In Canada they have about four hundred miles of narrow gauge railway in process of construction, with grades of one hun dred and four feet, and curves ot three hundred and fifty feet, with rails from twenty-five to thirty pounds per yard. The means of these roads are twenty year bonds at six per cent. They have thus far been sold at one hundred to one huudred aud four.— These bonds are mainly city and town ship bonds aloug the line of these roads. - Col. A. R. Lamar, President of the Atlanta Convention, iu his address to that body in assuming the chair, said : Let us march up to this Lsue as men prepered to bury in a common grave personal pride, passion, preju dice and ambition, and while we see crumbling around us iu a storm which we could not avert all the monuments of civil liberty, let us, with a devotion like -Eneas of old, when he boro An- chises from the burning ruins of Troy, take upon our brawny arm our old Mother, Georgia, and with stout hearts inarch through all dangers to place her upon a pinnacle of safety and honor. Col. Lamar goes to the funeral of the Democratic party at Baltimore with a hopeful and courageous spirit, but if lie and those of his inclining suppose that in (tearing upon their “ brawny arm our old Mother, Geor gia,” to the revolting embrace of the tricky aud malignant old wood-chop per of Chap|>aqua, they are placing that worthy old lady “ upon a pinna cle of safety and honor,” we fear they will find themselves sadly disappointed, —Savannah Xetcs.

Auguste Rouzaud in London the last Narrow Gauge Railway Secue ities.—Narrow gauge railways are rapidly gaining favor, not only among practical railway men, but with capi talists. The securities of these roads are eagerly sought after, and are now in many cases commanding a pre mium. While broad gauge bonds are Tiie mean attacks made upon some of our former leaders and the misera ble beslobbering of Greeley by some of the recent parasites, of the latter, are simply contemptible. It is, we believe, about the first time in the annals of our history that when a portion of a party proposed to tem porarily slough off from its time hon ored principles, that they propose to ridicule and denounce those who have ever been true to it and feeel that it is ruinous to depart from the ancient land marks. Horace Greeley is the life long, in veterate, implacable enemy of every thing Democratic, and beeanse our old leaders and thousands of the party cannot be reconciled to his support, they are denounced as “ bolters,” “ fa natics,” “ dangerous advisers,” and every mean thing with which they can be charged, while Greeley, our most dangerous enemy, who believes in Radical legislation, as matters of true political faith, who has been the author and instigator of the hellish outrages perpetrated upon our people, and esje eially .South Carolina, finds apologists by many men and journals. Great God, what arc we coming to ! Dan Voorhees, our champion at the North, denounced ! Rob Toombs, yes, “ glorious old Rob,” who, although at times, |>crhnps, violent in his terrible denunciations, has the courage, the manhood, to properly characterize the infamies of Radicalism, is denounced ! That purest of the Statesmen of earth, Alexander H. Stephens, who has done so much to unearth Radical villaiuy and to |s>int out the dangers of Centralism, and of our l>cing lured into its paths, is denounced! And by whom ? By those who have, since the Cincinnati Convention, found Horace Greeley to be a (tolitical saint, and the great leader who is to bring us safely out of a political Egypt. The leading journals and men who think it best to take up the Cin cinnati movement do so in rather a dignified, genteel manner; hut the smaU fry and lice, amongst politicians and newspapers, abuse the true men of the country worse than pickpockets.— Is it not disgusting ? Is it not inde scribably mean. We are pointed to South Carolina, who goes for Mr. Greely. We love that noble people and appreciate their situation. They have been so merci lessly and outrageously treated, that they are willing to make any change. They clamor for Greeley much as did the Jew in the Inquisitional bastile, “ bless Mary, the mother of Jesus!” We are satisfied these volunteer enthu siasts iu behalf of Mr. Greeley will have enough in the futue to take back and clear up their new found and zcAl ms allegiance to his cause without fur ther politically damning themselves, beyond a probable hopeless propects of Mixed Families. Marriages sometimes make queer re lationships. A man out West writes to one of the papers, giving his own status as follows: “ I married a widow who had a grown up daughter. My father visit ed our house very often, and fell in love with my stepdaughter and mar ried her. So my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter my mother, because she was my father’s wife. Sometime afterward, my wife had a son ; he was my lather’s brother- in-law and my uncle, for he was the brother of my step-daughter. My fttbert wif^-i. «., my —had also a son, he was, of course, my hrother, and in the meantime my t graud-child, for he was the son of ray ^ | daughter. My wife was my grand mother, because she was my moihZFs s • mother. I was my wife’s husband and grand-child at the eaiue time. And ns the husband of a personV grand-mother is his grand-father, l was my own grand-father.” Prices of Wheat. One of our leading grain houses, some days since, made special arrange ments to ship to St. Loius several c»r loads of new wheat- On Saturday last they received a letter from their St. Louis agent stating that new wheat would not bring there more than $1 50 > per bushel, sacks included, and that to . 7 millers in small lots for mixing with old. The cost of transportation being ? 35 cents per bushel, the wheat would- have to be bought here at $1 15, and, allow nothing for expenses or Commis sion?. Of course the transaction was U not made. , Our exchanges of Detroit, Milwai - kee, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, • Philadelphia and Baltimore, and all Southern and Southwestern exchanges, quote wheat, old and new, winter and spring, as “ dull and drooping.”— With such lights as we have before os, it would not be safe to predict a high figure for the Tennessee crop. Those - of our farmers who can a vail'them selves of the present rates would, we think, do well to dispose of their wheat at an early day. The lirica in tuucK more likely to go to SI 15@81 25 than to advance. The facts we have cited at the be ginning of this article clearly show that the croaking of the Democrat, the substance of which we reproduce, has had no effect upon wheat in the St. Louis Market. Those who “ hit the market” now will make money by it. —Chattanooga Times, 25th. Weight of Honey for Winter ing Bees.—Mrs. Tupper states that in the case of a number of strong col onies of bees the consumption of hon ey in October was 4 lbs.; in Novera- lier, 4$ lbs.; December, 2$ lbs. ; Jan uary, 3 lbs.; February, 34 lbs. ; March, 5 lbs.; aud April, 7£ lbs.; a total of 30 lbs. This was ascertained by actual weight, and affords a criter ion of the amount needed for winter consumption out of doors. But as the amounts vary in various localities and sea«ons, it will be safe to see that the hives contain more than this amount when the bees go into winter quarters. Every empty hive, on being made ready for occuf*ancy, should be care fully weighed, and the weight duly marked upon it, or registered in n book. When the bees are put into it they can also lie weighed, and the weight of combs and honey also be as certained from week to week. Suc’i facts will always be of interest and ira l*)rtancc. The Strikes.—The New York Tribune gives statistics of the great la bor strikes North. The number of laborers that have struck is 61,000.—, Of these 36,050 have obtained oonce-. sions of eight hours a day; 27.221 have been obliged tj resume work at ten hours a day, and 11,403 are (till on a strike. In the eight weeks of the strike the loss to the employers has been $2,043,550, aud to the laborers 81,674,950, making an aggregate loss to both of $3,718,500. Other loss has occurred in driving trade to other cities. Another Lump.—A lump of pure gold, weighing half pound, was recent ly found by a negro woman on the plantation of Mr. Hugh C. Nisbet, in Union county. The woman was ho- ing cotton and knocked the lump over with her hoe. The indications are that Mecklenburg and Union counties will prove to be the best gold-mining regions in the world. Whenever the mines in this section are Worked by common sense men, and hot by theor ists, they will prove more profitable than those of Australia or any other portioh of the world.-rrCKarZotts Demo crat. ? ... 1. resurrection, by making an uncalled j BilKnf{s aay», “Knowing he# for war upon the true trad noble -men j a ; t square on a bile, without hort- of the country.—Gridin Neuv. ing; is one of the lost arts, [am i-*' ' •' *■•!?*»• {‘-stead feniittiiMsr ^
