Though now the Heaven once more eppeere, And beams the bounteous sun again. From everr blade and blossom-cup The earth sends tbenkfnl incense np. O. happy hearts of flower and field. That, soon as grief he overpast, Your fragrant thankfulness can yield For troubled skies and rainful blast ! I would that I as soon could see The blessings of adversity. [Bourdiuon. MY WHIP COMESS IN. ET JOAQUIN MILLER. My ship comes sailing in from sea, And I am glad as glad can be. Oh ! I have kissed my love to-night, And all life seems one calm delight, My shin comes in, my ship e rnes in, Mv ship comes sailing np the sea. And life is like a dream to me. The stars look larger than before, The moon is silver now. The door Of Paradise Beems opened wide As yon church door for my fair bride. My ship comes in. my ship comes in, My ship comes climbing np ihe sea, And land and eea are fair to me, I know fall well in my ship's hold lae neither gorgeous silks nor gold ; Bat oh ! 1 know my love loves me. And ask no more of land or sea. My ship comes in. my ship comes m, My ship has crossed the lonesome sea. And I am glad as glad can be. [The Indepewlertt. AL'l.l) LANG BYNE. It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all,— A song of those who answer not However we may call; They throng the silence of the breast, We see them as of yoie— The kind, the brave, the trne, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. Tia hard to take the burden up, When these have laid it down; They brightened all the joy of life, They softened every frown; But. oh.'tis good to think of them, When we are tempted sore ! Thanks be to Goo that such have been, Although they are no more ! More home-like seems the vast unknown, Since they have entered there; To follow them were not eo hard, Wherever they may fare; They cannet be where Goo is not, On any sea or shore; Whatever betides, Thy love abides, Our Goo, forevermore. [John W. Chadwick. THE STRANGER ON TIIE HILL. Between broad fields of wheat and corn Is the lovely home where I was bom ; The peach tree leans against the wall, And the woodbine wanders over all ; There is tbe shaded doorway still— But a stranger * foot has crossed the sill. There is the bam—and, as of yore, I can smell the hay from the open door, And see the busy swallows throng, And hear the pewee's mournful song, But the stranger comes, O! painful proof— His sheaves are piled to the heated roof. This is the orchard—the very trees That knew my childhood so well to please, Where I watched the shadowy momeuts run, Till my life imbibed more of shade than sun : The swing from the bough still sweeps the air, But the stranger’s children are swinging there. It bubbles, the shady spring below, With its bulrush brook where the hazels grow, ’Twas there I found the calamns root, And watched the minnows poise and shoot, Aud heard the robin lave his wing— Bat the stranger’s bucket is At the spring. Oh, ya who daily cross the sill, Step lightly, for I love it still; Ami when you crown the old barn eaves. Then think what countless harvest sheaves Have passed within that scented door, To gladden eyos that are uo more. BAINT LAMBERT’H COAI.. Wild hordes had sacked tho minister; scat tered Upon the broken pavement, lay The crash of blazonel windows shattered By barbarous knights in wanton fray. Who wrought the wreck aud went away. Aoross pale, pictur'd faces, gashes Hliowed where there godless blades had thrust Profane defiance ; and with ashes Htrewn was the altar, and encrast Was chalice, pyx, aud urn with rust. No lamp shed forth its sacred glimmer, No incense breathed its hallowed fume : And as the rudded eve grew dimmer, Shadows as ghostly as tho tomb Wrapped choir and nave and aisle in gloom. Auon athwart the murk came stea’ing Far floatings of a chanted hymn. Up bomo in gusts from floor to ceiling, As faintly a procession dim Out of the darkness seemed to swim. Onwsrd it wended—nor did falter Till from thoir midmost, one criod—“ Who Bethought him of the quenched altar? Alas! how guide the service through ? Would God might light the lamp anew !” “ Ann o !" came through the silence drifting ; Aud from tbe train, therewith out stole A little acolyte, who, lifting His surplice hem. displayed a coal That glowed, yet loft tho garment whole. •' Christus Illuminator !" kneeling, The astonished Ilishop cried. “ From whom <!an light else come ?

HATTIE Ol - M) KCHOOGCUAKT. The t’nuse of Her Denth. I Correspondence of the Iwlei-Appeal. \ Riohmoxd,April24.—Mrs. Mattie Onld Bchoolcraft died last eveningat 8 o’clock after sickness since last Wednesday and unconsciousness since Saturday. At 2 o'clock yesterday I was informed she was dead and I wrote an item in my let ter to that effeot, bnt subsequent infor mation oonvinoed me that the announce ment was premature and I corrected it. The sad event, however, occurred 6 Lours later and a messenger immediate ly name into town from Mr. Sohooloraft’s tlrove road residence in Henrico ooun ty and conveyed the sad tidings to the nnmerous friends of husband and wife. Her father, brother and sister were present at the death-bed. The little aon, left motherless, is likely to live. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Wednesday) morning, at 11 o’clock. The circumstances of the marriage of Mr. O. J. Schoolcraft and Miss Mattie Onld are fresh in the minds of many persons. It took place at Salem, Roan oke county, whither the contracting par ties had gone from tbe springs and from there they at once came on to Riohmond. Here it was discovered that there was some slight informality in tbe license and anew license was taken oat here and the marriage again celebrated. Both husband and wife have numerous friends and a long and happy marital life was anticipated for them. Mr. Schoolcraft is inoonsolable in his grief, as well he may be, for a more lovable woman, or one with greater wit or humor, or ten derer heart, never lived. SOITHKKN MAIL CONTRACTOR*!.

THE NEW LKANPER. Trwu-lnied far ihe I'hrowlele and I'a*tita il.rmli.t, from the Germ* wf Ms* v Hefciaegrl. CHAPTER V —CONTINUED. Walpurga began with a trembling voice : “ I perceive by your manner that yon de;ire me to be brief and that you wish* to rid yourself of me as soon as poesible; I see, too, that yon still believe in my gnilt, or that which you, not I, so name. I also understand that shrng of yonr shoulders,” continued the Countess, bit terly. “I am admonished not to re peat the old oaths and protestations, for they would be as vain to-day as former ly. Fortunately, I can now dispense with all of these, and confine myself to the one thing which must indeed be sufficient to disprove all of yonr previous suspicions. Henry von Walden loves not me, but our daughter. Hear me still,” begged the Conntess, gently, as a wrathful glance shot ont of Hippolyt’s black eyes and be took a step back as if he wished to widen the dis tance between himself and this woman. “At the time when yon accused us both of an unworthy connection, Wal den already bore in his heart a presenti ment of that love, and the pure childish nature to which he clang armed his own against all impressions which could have been daDgerons to him. Since onr separation Hippolyt, onr cousin’s name bas never past-ed my lips, and I even considered it undignified to inquire where he lived—whether he was alive or dead, nntil upon my arrival in Laveno (whither I came on acconnt of a longing to be near my child), I met him.” “As 1 said, yon have ‘chance’ in yonr power,” sneered the Coant. “Yes, it was a chance, ft fortunate chance, which I would bleas forever, if I did not consider it a dispensation of Heaven,” answered Walpurga, with up lifted head and a joyous smile. “I did not repel the beckoning of fate. I dis patched Walden to bring me news of !my daughter, whom I feared was misjudged and unhappy. He did not speak to her, it is trne, bat be saw her, and was seen by her, although she I thought this sight of him was an hallu cination. The long suspected love awoke powerfully in his breast, and I Caroline also loves her childhood’s friend. They were the first words whioh I learned from her to-day.” The Countess vu silent Her very breath froze under her husband’s icy Bmile - . . . . .. “And how, m yonr opinion, should this pathetic story which 1 coaid supply with several piquant details end ?” sug gested the Conut. Walpurga came nearer to her hus band : “Hippolyt, do not harden your heart against j onr own child, as yon have har dened it against me.” “Let us end this comedy !’’ said the Count; harshly, raising his hands. “Comedy !” cried the Countess, hor rified. “From tbe moment 1 told you that Walden loves onr daaghter and is loved by her, can yon still really believe that an impure thought has ever clouded my relations with !.im? That would, indeed, be an enormity, which appears to me incomprehensible.” “Still, I believe sometimes in enormi ties if I am forced to do eo,” answered Hippolyt coolly. “It would uot be the first case in whioh an elderly woman whose—shall we say—feelings have not kept pace with her years, has sought by every means to chain her younger lover to her. Even the apparent inconsisten cy that she would sacrifice the fresh young life of her only child in order to have a share in him, is no longer new.” With clasped hands, bewildered glance and half-parted lips, the Oonn tess stood there, and after a moment whispered almost inaudibly: “I am afraid of you, for until now I did not believe that a human being could imagine such things.” “Yet when I saw von here suddenly before me, I bad very humane and there fore erroneous feelings," sneered the Count “I was touched by your faCP. I thought from it that you would be once more near to my heart aud the mother of my child. I observed the changes which time had made in yon, and was mindful of onr lonely old age. I be lieved that you had sow# with a full confession of your guilt; that every thing which had divided us would be swallowed up in the past with the pas sions of youth. I already deliberat and earnestly whether I oould or ought to forget the injury you bad done me ; whether the difficult guarding of that which is esllcd a man’s honor was not I outweighed by a life sacrificed to hate 1 and solitude. Yo* top fPJ feeliDgs and thoughts were very hummus, gpd if you had come before me with a full W foasioti of your guilt (the belief in which I shall carry to my grave) and I had promised to l>e true to me the rest of my life, 1 woW have believed 1 you, and all would have ifpll be tween us. You have cured me of qsy folly quickly enough. Instead of as a penitent, yon have oome to me with a carefully prepared iutrigup, which would restore you to your social pofljtjpu, and secure for yonr—affection—an unj.a tnrbed future. Thp purchase money was only yonr child's honor and hap piness. I will spare you aud myself the uan/ing of tho only feeling which, after this step, remuina in my heart for you. ” “Speak !” commanded Walpnrga, with a gloomy, hoarse voice. “After this I know no longer what truth and false hood are, or if I am ready the criminal that you describe or only a poor fraptic woman ! Speak ; it will be well for me to know all before I go—forever.” “The only feeling which your presence now excites in me,” said the Count, coldly aud decidedly, “is disgust.” Walpurga shrank away from him, aud a dark flush dyed her throat and face. It seemed difficult for her to breathe, and her eight seemed to fail hor, for she looked at bp? hus band as if only tbe outlines of hie loi/n were indistinctly recognized by her. When she heard hia voice again ehe was terrified. “Doubtless you will prefer to returu I by the gate through which you came." I “Certainly !” the Countess said quick- I ly, and she shook her head as if to rid herself of the burden which oppressed i her soul. “And God groftj that we may never meet again !” Hippolyt bowed stiffly, “kou ouaqL pate my wish. I will give my attorney : all necessary instructions to regulate j our position according to law. Be so kind as to instruct yours also.” The Count walked ahead, and Wal -1 pnrga followed him quietly, although it seemed to her that each of her feet dragged a hundred pound weight. Boon ! she reached, by the nearest path, the little gate which led to the street, and 1 without looking around her, Walpnrga hurried towards JJje spot where her boat was waiting for he*. When Tommaso Paglia informed the Count of his wife’s arrival, he had aat. i failed to give him to understand that in his optcjpn there was evidently some thing in this which was dan gerous to the coumUjv but on account of bis regard for the Count, Jjg had al lowed it to pass and hoped that his aog lect w>wjld not be exposed. He toyed swr elegantly with the key of the garden which he had admitted the Counteas ajhd served for his entrance and egress in his noc turnal garden visits, while he b®ld his left haud somewhat in front of him, in : order to receive the ejepefted Charles Albert. But instead of this, tfan Cf>nnt snatched the key from his hand, mod with a catting giauce harried opt of the room. Paglia looked for a little while at the curtains which bad been slightly agitated by the quick disappearance of the Count; then he contented him self with shaking his head and t- icing from the marble mantle piece au artistically oonstruoted dock whose silvery strokes could just be heard. He Studied it yery attentively, and ft was only phen the rfienor Oiaxomo came noiselessly into i room with the newspaper, thaV the reve nue officer was able to tegr himself away' from this charming efief 4'Qeyrfi of me chanism, and place it again is its proper; plaop. Slowly, with high nplifted head, as if he were perfectly conscious of his pow itf in this house, he passed along the corridor and walked out into the park, ever and ****jfr saluted timidly by the se vants, ana nodshug graciously to the , young pretty maids. ~ £ shspmmjj noise ' beinad the great blossoming magffqua, j whose brand ms hung down oyer the. ground like a green teat, fill acted his attention. He slipped under it, and in I the next moment stood near Caroline, who was sobbing and leaning her head against the tree. ’Fosjm* Bo was not nnsnsceptible to the tears which sowed from lovely ayes, and he inquired of hey suitable words, if im could serve her in any . or if the news (ifi* her illustr ous mother had ar rived, yap the this pain ? ‘ Caroline cast * doubled glance at the intruder, who esplam.qd t° ber in the fondest way his great respaet for her ; mother, although it was contrary to all official doty. But she saw not the wiek i ed look w*ith which he devoured her ' iarm as he moved nearer to her. She only nos*'-. the name of her dearly be loved mother, only knew that this was the man with she had come, that he was the one who would ac company her back to the Boat when she went. Then suddenly Tommaso Paglia felt his hard fiDgers grasped by the pretty little hand of the young Conntees, and heard her beseeching words: “ Then say to my mother that what ever may happen, she must not go away until she has seen me once more. Do you bear, not before, no matter what may happen! I will throw a cloak aronnd me and go with yon to the shore.” These words, and the whole behavior of the young Conntess corresponded so poorly with her former reserved charac ter, that the revenue officer (whom no thing could disconcert generally) stood for a moment in ntter amazement, and tried to smile pleasantly and obligingly. After a little consideration, however, he perceived no reason why he should not be quite as obliging to the young Conn tess as to the old one, even if it were against tbe will of her tyrannical paps, who had behaved as impolitely and un gratefully to him to-day as if the mutual relations of dependence were perfectly reersed. He solaced himself in advance with the delicious anticipation of going down to the shore with the pretty yonng Countess ; and even if this step injured her and her father in the respect of the people, Tommaso believed that his word was still a sufficient weight in the Villa Bandimiani to defy the wrath of the au thorities. At all events, Caroline’s gratitude and confidence were assured him, and he had already taken the first step towards her favor. One has read of more improbable things than a ten der understanding between a Conntess and a revenue officer. In his opinion it would only be considered flattering that one who was thought to be so proud and repellent bad applied to him with such a request, and had actually pressed bis band. Tommaso called himßelf a stupid bumpkin for not having imme diately kissed her hand, or even more, and for letting the little coquette es cape from under the magnolia. It was indeed to be hoped that they had not seen tbe last of each other. In his eyes the charms of the station cook had fallen far below a nominal value ; be stroked excitedly his lustreless black moustache, and laughed: “Ah these cold, proud ones !” Finally it occurred to him that if he wished to earn Caroline’s gratitude it would be to tbe pnrpose to watch tho sitnation. Therefore he stepped out from under the tree to the edge of the terrace, from which one could overlook a part of the street and the landing place. As he did so he saw the Countess walk ont of the little garden gate and go quickly towards the landing. His first impnlse was to take the same road, but he remembered that be no longer had the key, and, judging by what bad hap pened, it was doubtful whether the Connt would restore it to his keeping even if he met him. 80, if he wished to overtake tbe Conn tess, there was nothing left for Tommaso but to take the longer way through the Bandimianian street, which commenced behind the villa, and led in serpentine curves to the provinicial street, and down to the lake. Bat he had scarcely Eat the length of the park wall behind im, which had obstructed his view, when he observed that the Conntess had already arrived at her boat and was pre paring to go on board. The distance was too great for his cries to be heard, and indeed the bark pushed off from the shore immediately, and went hastily in the direction of Laveno. Disappointed in bis dream of love the inspector stack his hands peevilily into his pockets but suddenly his face bright ened. He had felt the Countess’ purse. Slowly, Count Hippolyt walked up the path, and arrived at the bouse just as his daughter in evident agitation was coming ont of the door. “Where are yon going ?” asked he in surprise, while be spanned her face. “To see my mother once more said Caroline defiantly, trying to pass. Her father seized her hand and said sadly but decisively : “You have no mother !” Caroline tore herself away and hurried to the terraae. A boat rowed by two men already swam far out in the lake, The black robed lady whom it carried could be no other than tbe Countess. Caroline knew uot that they were asperat ed forever. Weeping she fell on her knees. Her father raised her tenderly and led her to her room. Wbpp Tommaso came back seemingly ont of breath to bring the Countess the sad news that her mother had departed, and to place at her disposal all the com fort which a sympathetic heart could af ford, he was told in answer to his ques tion that Caroline had gone to her room with her lather. Abd when he then dr sired t speak with the Count himself, in order, by this means, to ba?p an op portunity of seeing the yonng Countess, he was informed by SigDor Giaoomo (with a faoe whose melanoholy would have sufficed for a royal funeral) that his Excellency would not permit any one to speak to him. Tommaso was very much surprised at this unexpected news. He muttered something unintelligible which sounded like a threat, bosyed haughtily to Signor Giacomo aud withdrew, but pot without lighting his “Brissago” very conspicu ously in one of the wind protected cor ners of the villa. „• [*> be Cunfinffetf fn next Sunday's Chronicle and ConelUytignalist. J THE JOURNALISTIC PROFESSION. Who Aro nad Who Arp Noi;Fltf etl Fpr It—The Konck of Writing- H. V. Red field has this in a recent issue of the Cincinnati Commercial : It has been remarked that very few who get into journalism start out with such intention. They drift in accident ally, and are promoted as they develop capacity. Money, wealthy parents and inkuenpe are of no sort of service in getting a young n;an a place on a news paper. There is' no brtaipegp tfi&t is so entirely independent of all these con siderations ss this, A wealthy father, can easily get bis son a location to refld law or medicine, or push him forward in almost any walk of life he may select, but he is utterly powerless to do any thing for him in a journalistic way.

After acquiring that, he may 'rd up’ on the subject as much as his leisure will alloy or his inclination prompt; ana then, by following the march of events from day to day, he will probably he able to understand what is going on quite as well as it is likely to be necessary that he should.

A* Ex-AGs raey-General of Viriuia a Sol— His (mpuism a Once Wealthy Journal ist, a Mao Well Known in Connecticut, an ex-Attorncy-Gcneral of North Carolina, , Stephen A. Douglas’ Intimate Friend, the Man Who Made Zach Chandler, and Other Once Honored Citizens. [Correspondence of the Hartford Times ] Washington, April 22, 1877. Being of a somewhat sympathetic na ture, and making it a point to always keen on the right side of tbe poor house keepers, I visited the poor house, in the eastern part of this city, several days ago, and was struck with the histories that are connected with some of its un fortunate inmates. As many of the men to whom I will refer have friends here and elsewhere, I will not use any names, and will confine myself strictly to what is known to fce true. lam satisfied that many of the men referred to would be better provided for if some of their friends knew of their presence there. One of the first men that I met upon entering was a short, thick set man with a Websterian bead and powerful voice, I have known him for many years as a lawyer, and am pretty well informed of his weakness, which is, in brief, the too frequent indulgence in liquor. Indeed, that seems to be the trouble with all the men who are now with him. The man I refer to was atone time Attorney-Gener al of, Virginia. He stood very high as a lawyer. One of the lawyers who ap peared before the Electoral Com mission as “ of counsel ” for the Demo cratic party studied in the office of this man. Several of the distinguished lawyers whom I could mention have also been at one time students in his office. If I mistake not. his father was at one time Attorney-General of the United States. He has been very wealthy in ftis day, and is not by any means an old man yet. Another man I saw there was considerably older. Whisky was his weakness also. His history is long, but pointed. At one time one of tbe Judges of the Supreme Bench of the State of California, he came to this city soon after the inauguration of Buchanan, at the request of John W. homey, to take the position of Collector of tho Port of San Francisco, He resigned his Judge ship to come here. Upon arriving he called on Buchanau. At this time he had property and money in bank amounting to about $30,000. Something turned up which prevented him from receiving the position. He did not de sire tc return to California unless he secured the position, and, not securing it, he never returned. Feeling disap pointed, he took to drink. He lounged about the hotels here for the ten years following, occasionally getting a claim through some of the departments and drinking up the proceeds. It was not long before be had spent his last dollar. For years he was supported by Colonel Thomas B. Fiorence, of Philadelphia, “the widow’s friend,” and the most oharitable man who was ever in Con gress. After the death of Col. Florence, several years since, he had uo one to look out for him, and finally a news paper reporter, who knew him well, se cured a permit for him to spend the re mainder of his days in the city alms house, not being able financially to take care of himself. Did I use his name it would be recognized by many ns the name of the most eloquent man of the West, and of one who was very promi nent, was a valuable friend to many who visited the golden shores during the gold fever in 1849. In company with him, I found one of the best natured little men that I have ever known, Now about 55 yiars of age, he has spent a most eventful life. At one time one of the proprietors aud editors of awell known Sunday paper of New kork, he was the leader of a oertain crowd of horsemen in that city, A man of great ability, ho has thrown himself completely away by tbe excessive use of liquor. He backed, politically and finan cially, for many years, one of the wealth iest of tho New York Congressmen. Al though known by all as a “judge” he never w-s a judge, and never studied law. He is about four feet high, and has got a very bright, twinkling eye. He came to this city in 1861, to specu late in a general way. He did speculate, and lost, but continued to reside here. He has been in the almshouse about three years, and, although he has been taken out several times by bis friends, he drinks so much that he lies about the streets and is returned by the police. Everything has beeuj.done, almost, to save him. Leaving him, I met a man that made a mark in Connecticut, several years since. He was appointed a Special Agent of the Fost Office Department by Gover nor Jewell, and, according to his own testimony before a committee of the Honse in the Spring of 1875, he did nothing in return bnt make political speeches throughout Connecticut in fa vor of “the old man,” as he titled Jew ell. This man was at one time worth a great deal of property heye and in Ar kansas. At one time be was ponnectcd with the tJpitpd States seprpt service and rendered some remarkable vyork in the way of breaking up gangs of counter feiters, smugglers, etc. Whisky don’t help apy deteptiye, and when he “took to his cups” he had to give up his de fective business.

AUGUSTA AND KNOXVILLE. THE NEW ROUTE TO THE WEST. Views of Mr. W. T. Wheless, tlie President of the Corporation—Brighter Prospects for the Enterprise—The Trade of Angustn to Be Materially Increased. The more serionsly our people think of the projee’ed railroad to Knoxville, Tennessee, and Greenwood, S. C., the more deeplv they become interested in it. The Chronicle and Constitution alist lias streneously advocated this greut enterprise, because we feel that it is a necessity to Augusta. We are glad to know that many of the thinking men of this community are not only con vinced that the road should be con structed, but are ready aQd willing to aid the enterprise. Yesterday, one of our reporters called on Mr. W. T. Wheless, who was recent ly elected President of the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad, when the following colloquy ensued. Mr. Wheless’ views will be read with interest: Reporter : Mr. Wheless, it is gener ally understood that you accepted the Presidency of the proposed Augusta and Knoxville Railroad because of the interest you feel in the enterprise, and the confidence you have in its success. May I inquire what the outlook is ? Mr. Wheless : My election to the Presidency of the Road was contrary to my expectations and wishes, but tbe Directors saw fit to elect me, and my acceptance of the positiou was from a sense of duty. I regard the prospects for the successful inauguration of onr enterprise much brighter than at any time since its inception. I have not heard of any decided opposition for several weeks, aud many prominent citi zens who a short time since were quite indifferent are now becoming very much interested, and assert that the road ought to be built. Reporter: Do you regard the establish ment of the new route as really essential to the future prosperity of this city and section ? Mr. Wheless: I do, and cannot com prehend how onr trade is to be mate rially increased, and onr merchants, in fact our community in general, can prosper route is opened Reporter: Wherein will Augusta be benefitted by the main trank line? Mr. Wheless: The benefits arising from the construction of our road will be manifold. In the first place, we would be able to retain a considerable trade which will certainly be diverted from us soon if this road is not built. The Elberton and Toccoa City Road, which we expect to use as a link in onr route, has recently had an offer from parties in Atlanta to iron the road, aud take bonds of the company and some unpaid subscriptions in payment for the iron. One of the directors of the road, Maj. John H. Jones, is our Vice-Presi dent, and he informed us that his people prefer to unite with the A. &K. R R., and will help build it to Petersburg, coming towards Augusta. We cannot only retain our present trade, but secure a considerable increase in receipts of cotton from tbe country contiguous to our road. As to the opening of anew route to the West, I am of the opinion that our merchants would secure rates of freight whereby they wonld be en abled to supply a large section of coun try, perhaps 75 to 100 miles north and west of Augusta, from which they do not at present derive any trade. This increased trade would, of course, result pecuniarily advantageous to our entire community, also to other railroads, by way of local freights. Reporter > Is it reasonable to sup pose that Augusta will begin to realize upon her investment as soon as connec tion with Greenwood, South Carolina, shall have been established ? Mr. Wheless : From the most reliable information I have been able to obtain from gentlemen well acquainted witti the oountry from Augusta to Greenwood, South Carolina, I am induced to believe that the construction of onr road to Walton’s Island, and the bridging of the river at that point, will secure not less than 25,000 bales we do not now get, the profits from which to merchants, founda ries, machinists, cotton factors, cotton buyers, etc , would be near SIOO,OOO an nually, an amount sufficient to soon re imburse our citizen:, for very liberal subscriptions to the through loute. Reporter : What think you—will our people subscribe liberally to the enter prise as soon as they are assured that others are willing to do their part ? Mr, Wheless : Our people, generally, seem tp have been fully awakened to the great importance of another inlet, and so much interest has reoeutly been man ifested, I feel that a prompt aud liberal response will result when the call for material aid is made. THE DARK SIDE OF WASHINGTON CLERKSHIPS. [Washington Star .l At twenty minutes past 3 o’clock yes terday afternoon the doorkeeper of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing re ceived orders to ifllow no one to enter, and then preparations for the impend ing executions began in earnest. The death lists were produced, apd all the were required to remain until the saff work was linjshed. The head of each division wae presented with the names of the victims under his charge, aud also with the money necessary to settle their claims for salaries up to date. The scene was a very affecting one as the roll was called, and each uu fortnuate signed his or her name with trembling hands. The sights presented wore varied, however. Tlio impending danger had steeled the hearts of some to meet whatever fate awaited them, but others broke down completely ; some received their dismissals with a sort of stoiiy despair, while others with loucl clips alid Sobs bp wailed their fate. Some lew put pp a defjant air arid vowed tp have revenge for the injustice done them- One woman cried defiantly: “You don’t know who I am. I am President Hayes’ cousin and I will make you suffer for this unjust act.” A poor widow, who had lost husband, father and brother in the late war, sign ed her name bravely, but, as she passed down the room, her pent-up grief be came uncontrollable, and, with tears streaming down her face, she wrung her hands ptffl pried,'‘;Thib, tii&p, ic' ufy re ward fpr all I hayo sacrificed. ’’ Strong men, too, gave way to their feelings as they thought of the dear ones at home, whom they would now be unable to as sist. One lady took the pen to sign her name but nearly fainted, and had to get a few minutes rest and composure be fore she could accomplish the act. But it was not those who met fato with hys terical sobs-that suflered mpsi-. M a py a poor woman whose scanty earnings were the only barrier from starvation for her family passed out without saying a word, but the fieart y&a alpjost broken. Of COUVBP, wfiq °¥ er; joyed, bfit the first of May threatens them like a Damocles' sword. Many of those who were discharged yesterday re turned to-day with importune entreaties for reinstatement, and the Secretary’s office was besieged by them.

A Pen Portrait ot the Great Georgian. |From a biographical sketch by James D. Urad dell. j Iu status, Judge Stephens stood six feet, with more none and muscle than flesh. All the features of his face were distinctly marked. His forehead, broad at the base, broadened as it ascended to the region of what phrenologists denominate Causality, Comparison, and Identity. In youth, he had a thick suit of dark brown hair, inclin ed to curl and crisp, which time somewhat whitened, but scarcely thinned. His was a deep-set, clear, blue eye, which, in repose, wore an expression of thoughtfulness and almost unworldly sadness; in moments of hilarity, it laughed with rich, soft light, be traying an almost feminine tenderness and gentleness; whilst, on occasions which called into exercise the heroic virtues, or excited the sterner passions of anger and indigna tion, it flashed forth a flame that was terri ble to the transgressor. His nose, fashion ed rather ufitr the Homan than Grecian mould, was large and prominent; his chin, more broad than sharp, lent a Spartan res olution to the whole expression of his face; his head, like Napoleon’s and Franklin’s, grew larger after he passed his third decade. Hisdress, never sloven, was sometimes negli gent; he cared little for the lit of a garment, if it sat easy' and was unsoiled. The handwrite of Judge Stephens was re markably legible, and somewhat feminine in type; it was formed upon no model, and resembled none 1 ever saw. With abundant indications to show that he used the pen with ease and rapidity, there are seldom to be diseovreed any signs of hurry—none of carelessness. In the large number of letters which I have had occasion to examine, there are to be found very few interlineations, and not more than one or two erasures. In this Tespict, his manuscript was as unblem ished as one of John Quincy Adams’, of whom it has been related that he never made an alteration on the written page during the last fifty years of his busy life. Iu social life, he avoided the crowd. The circle of his intimate friends was not a large one; but of that “charmed circle” he was the idol; and, perhaps, it is not extravagant to record that, while the death of many Georgians has created a sorrow more exten sive in its range, the death of none ever penetrated the hearts of so large a number with an anguish so personal, so near, so bitter as that occasioned liy the death of Linton Stephens. How many felt as did the large hearted, stalwart man feel when standing by the open grave of Daniel Web ster, he said: “How lonesome the world seems!” Judge Stephens was an earnest student throughout his life. He had studied men, and knew them well; his judgments of character, sometimes almost intuitively formed, were rarely erroneous. It was in books, however, lie found the chiefest source of intellectual enjoyment; they' were his passion and delight— presidium et dulce decus. He did not cultivate, with any' great de gree ot assiduity, the knowledge of Greek, imperfectly acquainted at college; hut his knowledge of the Latin language and literutuic was extensive, accurate ami inti mate. Tacitus, Cicero, and Horace were special favorites—each of his kind. His knowledge of the best English authors, both of prose and verse, was comprehensive, various, and wonderfully exact, for one whose vocation was the study and mastery of the “jealous science of the law.” Bacon and Burke, “ welded together'' he said, would have the greatest character in history. It is safe to say, he had no superior in the State in a profound and philosophical knowledge of English and American history—political, ecclesiastical, or literary. He regarded Hume, in style, as the Prince of British historians —neat, perspicuous, nervous, con densed-far surpassing, for that sort of writing, the elaborate finish of Gibbon— materiam superbat opus— the stately elegance of Robertson, or the studied, breathless antitheses of Macaulay. Of American historians, lie esteemed Motley before Bancroft or Prescott. Pres cott wits too precise its to little matters; Bancroft had more words than ideas. Ad dison, among all the English fine writers of prose, he admired most, in sentiment as well as style. He has been heard to say that “Washington Irving was the Addison of America.” Dean Swift, he said, “was a dirty dog. but no man ever wrote or uttered the Saxon of our tongue so vigorously as Dean Swift.” Sliakspcare and the English Bible he knew almost by heart. Pope, lie said, was the greatest didactic poet of any language; Burns, Byron, Dryden, Gold smith-all of different vein -were his com panions—each of whom lie had studied; an I thoroughly -ppreeiated. Milton he did not greatly admire, for the same reason that he little affected Gib bon; it required too much of palpable effort to “ manufacture the Miltonic grandeur." The quiet, quaint, half hid humor of Tris tram Shandy he could read and laugh over liy the hour, all day long; and he said “Sterne mistook his calling when he put on the sacerdotal robes,” He never could de tect any wit in Rabelais; and lie said, “I have searched for it in vain; Toombs or Tom Thomas can, and frequently do, speak more witticisms in one n’ght than Rabelais in a lifetime wrote.” Bulwer was liis beau ideal of a monarch in the realms of fiction —greater than Thackeray, or Dickens, or Scott, because he had a deeper and more philosophic insight into human nature— especially in its noble manifestations; and his greatest merit was the beauty, and fideli ty, and delicacy vvitli which he portrayed the excellence' of female character, in its best exhibitions. He once said: “There is no grammar, and hardly a dictionary, in our language. Webster is the best defmer; but liis orthography, in so many instances, is not akin to ilie etymology; for example, theater is only the sfep-dapglner of theatjwt,” etq. Horne Tooke was the greatest of Hnglisb philologists. He knew the power of words, and made them things; the shortest cut to a knowledge of our mother-tongue is through the “Diversions of Purley.” He had peculiar aptitude and fondness for ineta, physical study and inquiry; and in the line of speculative philosophy, he ranked Sit- William Hamilton above Reid or Stewart even alongside his great prototype, Aristo tle. lie was passionately fond of biography —“the philosophy which teaches by exam ple” more aptly and specifically than his tory; and he gave full indulgence to his taste for that sort o,f reading. “Kennedy’s Life pf Wirl” he considered the best speci men of American biography, whether re garded in point of style, the skillful handling of his material, the delicacy and elegance of the portraiture, or the attractive light ip which he presents his subject, example for thf em'ulafsftp of youth, His colloquial talents were of the first rate. Like Burke, ho talked because “his mind was full;” he never opened his mouth without having something to say. His con versation was alikeinstructiveandentertain ing— at times, adorned with classical allu sion, enlivened with apt anecdote, enriched with prompt and sparkling wit, and illustra ted by serious or comic incident. No man had a keener appreciation of the ludicrous, either in incident or in character; anq no,tie more exquisitely enioyetj'ii yyell-tc,ld story, tit. bpftef rqllsnect and good' joke; when the lipuibr was pn him, and the occasion to his liking, few knew so well how “to set the table on a roar.” All men of, mark have their special thea tres wlnreon their peculiar talents and abilities show to greatest advantage. There are those who shine most brilliantly in the forum, addressing the bench—like Toombs or Hull—or addressing the Twelve, like Wright or Lumpkin; others there are, whose Titanic strer.gtji is best displayed ‘ before deliberate assemblies, like 'Johnson p,r the elder‘Stephens; others, again, are in their element and intheir glory on the hustings, like Hill and Yancey; otliprs, yef ggain, in the lecture roqm likp' I eye the greatest exhibitions ofintel al resource and power ever made by Linton Stephens were in familiar conversa tion, which, inspired by the topic under discussion, and conscious of no effort on his own part, he poured forth a wealth of learning and wisdom, wit, leave, aiuf eloquence, that was marvelous jo'tii,e'audi tor. He was one pf ttfef fety men f have kifcyb'' who'se mental hulk and stature aggrandised on approach—possibly some frailty may have been, at the same time, more fully disclosed to view—but his real greatness enlarged—it did not diminish O'.hei* and abler pen® have, i" iug pages, nonr-saq him in The,' chqraeter of sUiesioUii, jurist, Orafob, friend: oiue, es peeiaily.

The as\uenv j e of just, discriminate, ap preciative eulogy, which wm heaped upon his tomb through channels of the public press, the courts, political conventions, primary assemblies of the people, epistolary correspondence, private conversation, is unequalled, perhaps, in the history of any citizen of the commonwealth—certainly, in that of any one who never oco.ipied the high est political station. He himselfVasuncon scious of the spacb hfe’filied in the general evb. smtfbf the hold he h ad upon the papu lar heart. His manly modesty would have crimsoned at suggestion of the fact; still the sorrow-deep, boding, awful—so keenly felt, so eloquently uttered, when “tidings of his death came like wailing over the land,” avouches the truth that he was the foremost citizen of the State when the awful curtain dropped. Hr. Moody’s Money MuttrU-*- In asking for q collection ilia other qaV toUefru j the expenses of the Taber nacle meeting in Boston, Mr. Moody re ferred to the false reports that he and his colleague put the collections in their pockets, and said: If we took money from the public it would be well to .eport what we did with it, and how much we received. As there never has been any collected for us, and we are not employed by the pub lic or any committee, I i}o apt Know that it is necessary (of me to say anything to justify myself in the way I have been employed for the past sixteen years; but when I gave up my business sixteen years ago, after ttree months of the se verest stinggle of my life—whether I should go lor dollars and cents or for souls—from that day to this I have no more lived for money than I have lived for water. My friends have blamed me because I have not laid aside something for my family. Some of them insisted upon my wife having some money, and they bought her a home in the country, and the rumor is that it cost 830,OIK), and 830,000 to furnish it. The home cost $3,500, and there have been some improvements, and the furniture and everything cost SIO,OOO. It belongs to my wife and children. My father died at the early age of 41, and if I died to morrow there will be a roof over the heads of my wife and children.
