Though lowering night ah''hid blacken all

And who shall take from us what is our

So when a shade of the last partiug fell,
This thought gave peace, as one deep com

Who. thirsting, drinks cool waters from a

But, audden I saw that spirit without breath,
That body bodiless, that invisible
Maker of visible woe ; I looked on death !

We know not where they tarry who have died.
The gate wherein they entered is made fast;
No living mortal hath seen one who passed
Hither from out that daikness deep and

We build on faith ; aud some less bold have
cried,
"Behold the butteifly-the seed that s cast!
Vain tropes that fail like flowers before tbe
blast!
Wht man can look on Death unterrifled ?
Who love can never die ! They are a part
Of all that lives beneath the Summer sky ;
With the world’e living eoal their souls are

Nor shall they iu wide nature be undone
And lost in tho general life. Each separate
heart
Shall live aud find its own and never die.

the yield has Deeu much beyond that ot
any year since the war. Some of our
farmers hate realised as much as twenty
seven bushels from an acre of wheat,
and I have heard of no crop below
twelve. Corn is somewhat behind as to
frowtb, but has not suffered materially.
Ifhere it has been well worked, with fa
vorable seasons from this out, it will
make full average crop.
Cotton is fully three weeks behind
aud (rightfully in the grass. The re

at short intervale, for the ueyt two

not be expected. No other favorable

[Arts York Timex ]
Y eater day morning Governor Hart
ranft, of Pennsylvania, rose somewhat
subsequent to the lark’s usual hour, and
after grasping the fact that he was in
Providence, and had on tbe previous
evening attended a meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic, immediately be
came a prey to melancholy. He remem
bered that be had Rent a telegram to
General Grant, "Care of her Mijeety,
Queen Victoria, Buckingham Palace,
Loudon," and a terrible doubt as to
whether that telegram had been proper
ly directed made bis head ache to a
most painful extent. When he directed
that telegram, he wanted to make sure
that it would reach the ex-President,
aud assuming that the latter was stop
ping with the Queen, he had no hesita
tion in sending it in care of her Majesty.
It was not until yesterday morning that
it occurred to him that the Queen might
not be at Dackingham Palace jnst at
present. He was not at all disturbed by
the assertion of one of his aides that the
Qneen constantly resides in the Tower
of London, for he was well aware that
Buckingham Palace is merely a wing
added to the Tower by the late Prince
Consort. What made him uneasy was
the recollection that the Queen has a
conntry seat at Balmoral, in Scotland,
where she retires when Buckingham
Pg!<ice is nndergoiog its annual cleaning.
If, thought hs, at this very period Buck
ingham Palace is baiog scrubbed and
whitewashed, and tbe Queen is at Bal
moral, that telegram may never reach
General Grant, What is worse, that box
of cigars that was forwarded last Mon
day, directed precisely as was the tele
gram, may fall into tbe bands of the
local colored minister who whitewashes
the palace, and may be smoked by that
nndiserisniDfltiug artist and his personal
fjriends. The atone Governor Hartranft
thought over the tffair tae worse hiR
Lead ached, and the more clearly he saw
that he had been too hasty. Had he di
rected that telegram to “ Beacons
field. Eq and requested him to for
ward it Ui General Grant without delay,
there would have beef} DO doubt that
General Grant would FftSgjyed it.
As it was, the telegram might never
reach the Queen, acd if it (lid reach
her, she being a woman, might put it
on her maDtlepiece at Balmoral and en
tirely forget to mention it to General
Grant lor three or four days. Governor
Hartranft groatiea & this last con
tingency occurred to hit*. Thjf g Jel®-
gram which so chastely and beautifully
informed General Grant that "your
eo<rsdea * * * desire, through you
to Kogtaud’s DneeD, to thank England
for Graut'a recaption," /should miscarry,
simply because of a uDatsitO jp the ad
dress, was a bitter thought, and ao Gov
ernor Hartranft rang for more soda
water be inwardly resolved never to send
another telegram after dinner.
It is a pleasure ml as a duty to re
lieve so excellent a n&w 9(1 Governor
Hartrauft from his present state m pain
ful uncertainty. Fortunately, thoia is
no difficulty in 80 doing. Fiom souroes
as exclusive gpd as authentic as those
from which the tfrrald obtains its war
telegrams, the Tune.* bitf received a full
account ot the reception ui Up* gover
nor’s telegram in England, aui eau
assure him that it is already in tbe ex
Pr* suwot'e bauds.. At the same tune it
is proper to add thgt f/li *t been
for a lucky accident that fajpgram
would never Lava returned its dpsfina
tion.
At two o’clock on Wednesday morfitUg
the Prime Minister, who, during his
tenn of office, always occupies the
second story front bedroom iu Bucking
ham Palace in order to be handy if the
Queen wakes up iu the U'ght and thinks
she would like anew title, was aroused
by a tremendous knocking at the front
door, Ha.tily springing out of bed aud
opening the window, he saw a boy iu the
uniform of tire Atlantic Cable Company
standing ou tbe front step, aDd whist
ling “Rule Britannia.” To tfa# Pr*-
mini’s excited demand to know where
the fire was, the boy coolly replied,
"Telegram for your missus," whereupon
Lord Beaconsfield, angrily exclaiming
"Holy Moses 1” closed the window, put
on his trousers, aud descending to the
door, told the boy io “hand it over.”
Now, a cable telegram costs a good
deal. There won eight pounds four and
three pence due on uavaruor Hartrauft’s
tel* gram, aud the boy refused to dof.iyr
it without the money. Hence it became
nececaarr to wake the Qneen. The noble
Earl bad to tike this delicate duty upon
himself, since tbe ayi-vautß remained
invisible, and it was with aainy misgiv
ings that he knocked at her Majesty’s
door, and after informing her that a boy
was waiUug with a telegram for General
Grant, aud that faMLUited eight pounds
four and threepemw, suggested
that she should bwd blf# tbp fton*7
through (be crack of the door. Tbe
Qneen may ttot be a particularly irrit
able woman, but it was hardly to be ex
pected that she would get out of bed,
strike a light, and hunt up bur purse
witbopt betraying some little auuoyanee.
la hu*. be was extremely angry, and
not drly 09nmtt#ri)y refused to receive
General Grant s but informed
Lord Bfiaoountu'M if
her up again iu tho middled iw 3
to ask her to pay nine pounds for @olem
body else’s telegrams, she would dismiss
him without a character. “Why, even
Gladstone,” added the irate Queeu,
“hasn’t himporance enough to come and
’amrner at my dtsor, and ask for fifteen
or twenty nounda at tide time of night.”
After this there seemed *w}G.iing for
the Premier to do but to tell iu- bpj
that no person by the name of (iraut
lived at that house, and to shut the door
in his fact %. At that moment the fate of
the telegram summed sealed. The boy
started to return it t* the otfioe, where
it would have beeu s.utwov*d “Not
found,” and Governor Hartraidt woffld
have beeu charged with its coat, ft oo
happened, however, that Gen. Graut
and the Priuoe of Wales, who had been
attending a meeting of the Society for
Propagating the Gospel Among the
Jews, were on their way la the General’s
lodgings, and, passing Backi.ngham
Pi lace, met the boy descending tiifi
frout steps. The Prince stopped and
questioned him* and, ou learning that
the Qneen had tafused to pay for a tele
gram, remarked to il Grant that
some day “mother would into diffi
culties by refusing to pay for bete**#p)S,”
and generously told the boy to give b*h4
the ieWgrstn and he would call aud pay
for it the naxt day. Meanwhile, Gen.
Grant had oaugtot sight of the address,
and thereupon paid Ih boy, opened the
tehsgram on the spot and reaA if.
Ttuui Governor Hartranft’s
reached it destination, aud when be
reads this moruiug'a Times he will re
gain bit usual spirit#,. He is a good
soldier aud a good Go.ver#oy, bat it does
uot seem ss if nature m to
seu.t telegrams to tj Presidents in tug
laud. No man can dp aii things. Gov
Bait ranft ought to recoguiaa this fact,
and to concede that sending telegrams
to General Graut iu care of Queen Vic
toria ta uot a practice for which he is
peculiarly fitted.

the other to ins sou, who if a deaf
mute. His friends web: notified, and
of them came over and rteogaced
him. Tte letter to his wife runs &s fol
laws j
“I bays often toU th.e that whin the
measure is too full if raps over. That
time baa now conic. I had prom
ieed myself to kill thru at the same time
as myself, yt it baa seemed better to
ms that I should leave thee and thy
children, whom thon hast until now oon
stantly rendered unhappy, in peace,
and act in such way that, as my dear
little Charlie said, T shall go and come
hack no more.’ It will be best in that
way. I fed nothing mow, as those three
feel nothing, for whose death thou alone
art to blatne. If then deny this, thou
moat perjure thyself before God and
thiue own rtonsnience. Rut thou be
j lievest iu no God; what else could be
, expected ? There waa no contentment,
no harmony, no fortune and no blessing
! in my home; although I have worked so
’ bard, as all ihe masters I have been
; with, and they are respectable, honored
men—Duische, Pittmann, Rooms, Back
er, Huber and Brufter—can bear testi
mony; and now when I am out of work
they ill-tpeated me, which gives me mere
pain than uy pen can express. When I
think upon what I hare been obliged to
I hear anil bear from thee I see that it all
should make a man eager of heart to do
thia deed. Had I not possessed such a
forbearing spirit the death-blow would
already long have fallen, for the saying
! is, the blessing of tbe father builds
the house, but the corse of the moth
er tear* it down again. However, noth
ing else can happen when one does not
believe iu a higher life; but thy puniah-
meet is already upon tbee, and it will
fall heavier upon thee, for everything
has its proper time, and the jnst God
will not be mocked. Thon baa deserv
ed it doubly on account of our eldest
son John, for he ia dumb, and he, too,
wonld better have died at nineteen, be
cause thon has poisoned his life. Now
he is big and strong and has straight
limbs, tint be can’t apeak; this gave me
grief whenever I looked at him. Now
thou has brought me so far that i,
too, am sileut; aud now thon caust cook
soup and pies as much as may please
thee in defiance, as thon saidst to me
thou wouldst. I have had very little
from thee; yet a little white and I shall
need nothing at all, neither a glass of
lice.- nor anything to eat. I shall have
passed over. Ido not wish any evil to
any of yon, bnt that all may go well
with yon; more 1 cannot do. Good bye.
John Magnus.
“ Never canst thon answer for what
thou hast dona to thy children. Three
are dead; one thon bast made a cripple,
and of my death, which makes them fa
therless, thon art guilty. It will be sad
for them when it is said : ‘Your father
died so and so.’ Now art thou free
from me, I shall suffer and bear no more
and thon canrt let loose thy joy, for
it ia unto thee as thon has so often
wiebed and still wisheat. This is aIL”
The letter to his son John ran as fol
lows :
Dbau John—l mast tell thee before I
die who is to blame because thon art
deaf aud dumb. When thou wert three
years old tbou could speak well enough,
bnt thy mother, or the wolf, as I might
better Gall her, is to blame for it. Thou
wert somewhat slew in going ont at the
door, when she hit thee and pushed
thee out, so that thon didst fall on thy
head down the steps, even as she her
self told me later, for at tbe time I was
uot in the house, bnt at my work. From
that hoar thou didst lose thy speech lit
tle by little, although I tried everything,
and went to the best doctors, sueb as
Professor Thompson, but nothing was
of any use to tbee. When I looked at
thee often I saw that thon hadst straight
limbs and understanding enough to oar
ry thee well on in the world, bnt thon
couldat not speak. At times this al
most drove me out of my head. Tby
mother btthaved badly to me, as thou
thyself hast seen; gaveqjenothiag to eat,
and my drinking beer had long been a
thorn in her side. Now lam in peace.
These two hours which I have yet to live
do not help me very much. I have
thonght the matter over carefully, and
wished to kill her too; but what good
wonld that do me ? She will live, and I
will gp; tfjjs is best. She will yet have
to softer what ah* Las ueaeryed from
her life. I greet thee once again, and
am thy righteous father,

Thou didst lose tby speech in tle

itching to “ see the elepKant,* f where it

BISMARCK.
BOW HE I.IVEH AT KIBSINOEN-
Condition of the Priace—What He Thinks—
The Wreck ol a Colossus.
fAVio York Yun Lethr .l
Far from having any stuff or chancery
with him, Prince Bismarck leads, it ap
pears, a strictly private life. His wife,
the Princess Johanna; his daughter, the
Countess Maria; his son, Count Her
bert; and five servants, from his whole
household. His son serves him as Secre
tary, Aid de-Camp, and even personal
attendant, for the great statesman ia
afflicted with severe rheumatism, aud is
unable to walk alone. It is on tbe arm
of his son that he leans when taking
exercise; it is to his son that he dictates
hia letters and dispatches; it is his sou
who receives visitors for him; and it is
his son again who serves him as aide-de
camp, and pats his Captain’s uniform
on when the Chancellor assumes an offi
cial character.
The family do not live in the town cf
Kissingen.’ They occupy an old and
more than modest house about half a
mile off. The honso served bnt a short
time ago as a habitation for certain la
borers of the salt works. It has been
cleaned, painted, and placed at the dis
posal of the Chancellor by the King of
Bavaria, who supplies him also with
carriages, horses, aud a strong force of
police. It was at Kissingen that an at
tempt was made a few years ago by
Kullmann to take the Chancellor’s life.
The King of Bavaria, being afraid lest
something of the kind should happen
again, ordered a body of police to gnurd
the honse day and night. Wheu Bis
marck is out driving or walking he has
his own detectives, brought from Berlin,
following him. Snltan, a big Danish
dog, completes bis escort.
The treatment of the Chancellor con
sists of a few glasses of Rakotzy water
in the morning and a bath of fifteen
minutes’ duration in the afternoon. It
is almost exclusively for the purpose of
taking this bath and water that he ever
goes out of his own door. He is never
seen at the Knrsaal, and but seldom met
taking an evening strool witb his wife
and daughter in the woods snrrouuding
his house. His malady consists in some
derangement of the nervous system
combined witb rheumatism. Tbe affec
tion of tbe nervous system lias its nat
ural cause iu the overwork to which he
has subjected himself for so many
years; yet additional reasons for it are
sought in the renewed differences with
the Empress which preceded hia re iro
ment. The animosity between Empress
Augusta and the Chancellor is of long
standing, but it reached its climax
some three months ago, when Kaiser
Wilhelm droppped out of his pocket a
note written in Bismarck’s hand, and
violently attacking a favorite lady in
waiting of the Empress. The Crown
Pfinpe flifl his ljest to iuduce Bismarck
to give in; the Emperor sent his confi
dential aide-de-camp, Count Leliudoiff,
to Kisseugen for the same purpose; but
Bismarck remained stubborn. In a con
versation with M. Perivier, young Count
Herbert himself acknowledged “that
oertaiq Q i epgjities” were among
the main reasons for Ins father's retire
ment.
Personally, the Chancellor lias greatly
changed. He still keeps his creot bear
ing, but he is growing thinner aud paler
every day. The bi;jterq’,sS! and jocose
German llursch is dead in him. lie iias
given up wine aud cigars, iu both of
which hejused to iudulgeto a formidable
extent, lie speaks in a low voice, works
but very little aud spends most of his
day in readiug French u ivels. His
favorite authors are Alphonse Daubit
and ‘ Gaboriag. Jje still watches Eu
ropean politics, however, very closely,
and carefully peruses every morning a
number of German, French aud English
papers. Count Herbert says that his
fythfff tBfePS tfei ß li e W Dl°de of life
very pftmfotfably, nnd the only thiuga
he seem ß to miss are his champagne and
hi* cigars- The old muu remarks that
io hia opinion every man on coming iu
to the world him hi allowance of both
these necessaries; that his allowance was
10,000 bottles and 100,000 cigars, and
that he made a great mistake in using
up the stock too rashly.
The report recently spread that the
Chancellor’s daughter, Countess Maria,
was going to be married to Count Lehu

CREDIT VERnU* REPUDIATION.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
A grave issue u at stake between an
an just advantage and the general credit
of tbe Georgia Railroad. An attempt is
threatened whioh, if carried into effect,
may end in tbe injury and destruction
of all forms of Bontheru trust and seen
rity. The credit of the Georgia Road
has reared its crest above the ravages of
time; its faith has sometimes bent under
tbe pressure of circumstances, but we
never thought that faith would be self
broken. It has borne iLelf triumph
antly through war and adversity, bat we
never thought that a war between its
members would work its final decay.
We say final decay because an action
similar to tbe proposed repudiation of
the Port Royal endorsement cannot
stand isolated and alone, nor can its
effects stop with this single and indi
vidual case. The Georgia Railroad has
larger and greater interests at stake.
Od the strength of its endorsement the
Macon and Angnsta bonds were placed.
What reason have we for supposing that
it does not intend a similar coarse when
their time of payment arrives ? It has
pledged its faith for three millions of
bonds of the Western Railroad of Ala
bama. What proof can it afford that it
will not telieve itself of these in a simi
lar manner ? Their strength is that it
has pledged its faith and given to the
public its assurance. Bnt was not its
affidavit made upon tbe Port Royal en
dorsement, and has it not, from inno
cent purchasers, reaped the benefit of
these bonds ? And if it now shamelessly
repudiates this five hundred thousand,
will it not more eagerly go behind its
word in the Western Railroad three mil
lions, where its interest in repudiating
is six times as great? If the di
rectory consider us premature in
this reasoning, they are indebted to
their threatened attitude of mis
representation for our forebodings, for
men do uot gather grapes of thorns
or figs of thistles, but by their fruits ye
shall know them. Two pillars on which
Georgia stands forms Justice and Mod
eration, and it is her pride that while
deliberate before acting, when her de
cision is formed the decree stands firm;
and nothing has represented this firm
ness better than the Georgia Railroad.
Its credit has been a good index of tbe
credit of the State, and Georgia, proud
of her corporation, acknowledged its
worth by inakirgit a security for widows
and orphans. Rut, in an evil hour, a
righteous Judge, a second Daniel come
to judgment, on his three shares of
stock, representing, respectively, folly,
injustice and repudiation, stickling over
:i legal flaw, declares that public faith
need not be regarded, and boasts of his
intention to “smash up” a pledge, the
principle of which is the keystone in
the arch of public credit and welfare.
As certain forma of crime are contagions,
so there is no instinot whioh so quickly
affects and surely reacts upon a com
munity aa an attack on public confi
dence aud credit. Bad faith having
throttled one victim, quickly buries its
fangs elsewhere; corporation follows
corporation, municipalities are quick to
throw off’ their indebtedness, and this
forms the highest prestige for individu
als to bankrupt, ao that general mistrust
and misfortune may result. We regret,
tho imperfections of legislation, which
admit even the possibility of innocent,
purchasers being swindled, but let those
who are setting iu niotiou this hall of re
pudiation beware, lest in its evil effects
it rebound upon themselves.

UEOIUiIA It At I.HOAD ENDORSEMENTS.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
Gentlemen -In your paper of 24th
instant 1 notice an article headed
“Government ps. Ronds," and signed
“Truth,” which, as it contains some
chaiges referring to myself, demands a
reply. The charge made in the article
is that I had “on the streets proclaimed
nry intention to ‘smash up’ certain
guarantees or endorsements to which as
a party I assented years ago,” referring
to the endorsement of Port Royal Rail
road bonds by the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, to which charge 1
reply by sayiug that I have said no such
thing, or anything like it, “on the
streets” or elsewhere.
I have never olteially or otherwise
taken any part in any proceding or ac
tion of the Georgia Railioad and Bank
ing Company, or the stockholders, or
any one else, to affect the validity or re
pndiatiug the broils of the port Royal
Railroad, bonds endorsed by Georgia
Railroad Company, i did not know un
til sometime after the stoppage of pay
ment of interest on these bonds endorsed
by the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company thutsuiha course had beeu
thought of or adopted. It is true, when
asked by the brokers of your city to bny
these endorsed bonds I have declined to
do it, because their validity had been
assailed, bqt I ltaye siuce the eudprse
mept ueyergiydp j,u’y afflty übuißehance
to any t 9 dispwn hip endorsement
or aflvet its value, Ro much for this
charge. As to the charge that I own
but three shares of stock in the compa
ny of which I am a director, it is true;
bnt the records of the company aud the
testimony of the directors and stock
holders who know anything about the
matter, will sustain me in tho assertion
that no one has more honestly aud cou

this is lpt m e compare the language of
the Uonatjtuiioa of Ifffil and the Con

1861 had these provisions : “The Su

Roil, Renan, Lester, Jackson,
Hausell, Risbet and Trippe were among
those who voted against it and in favor
of Executive appointments.
To this I might add that in the Con

Jenkins recorded bis vote in the same
way, voting in favor of conferring the
appointing power on the Executive, as
did also black, of Scriven; Dubose, So

then editor of that famous oracle of

the appointing power “is foreign to the

Cobb, Reese, Hill, Crawford. Bartow,
Benning, Hall, Jackson, Daßose, and
all that noble company would never have

Hugh Mercer.
GsncraJ H‘’.gh Mercer, late of Savan
hf.L. Oj., died in Germany on the 7th
iust. He was the son of the lata Colo
uel Hugh Mercer, of Fredericksburg,
Va., and grandson of General Hugh
Mercer, of Uie Revolution. He ws ed
ucated at West Point, where he was a
classmate of Jefferson Davis and Gener
al Joe Johnston. Entering tbe army, he
was at one time aid of General Winfield
Scott. After marrying in Savannah,
Ga , he retired from military life, and
resided in that city rnaDy years. On the
breaking out of the late war he enteied
the Confederate service, and was at one
time with General Johnston iu the
West, and afterwards in command of
the defenses of Savannah; after the war
be remained iu Savannah a few years,
then came to Baltimore and spent two
years, and thence in 1872 went to Ku
rope, where he has been since residing.
His health had been impaired for some
time past, though bis death was not an
ticipated by his family. General Mer
cer was a man of superior intellect, ex
tensive reading, tine literary taste and
thorough culture, and was a true gentle

The Secretary ©I War’e Brother a Mormon.
Memory MoCrary, a brother of the
Secretary of War, has been a Mormon
for the last twenty-five years, and has
now gone to Washington to see his
brother. He has two wives. The other
day a reporter interviewed one of his
sons, who was quite communicative. He
said his father had taken his second wife
about eighteen months ago. “She was
a widow named Thornton, and had a
batch of yonng ones by her former hus
band. But Lord ! you ought to have
seen the rumpus mother kicked up when
the old man let on that he was goiDg to
marry a second. She hit him on the
snout with a rolling pin, broke a wash
pitcher over his head, tore his best Sun
day-go-to-meeting coat to strips, and
threatened to break his back if ever he
brought No. 2to her house. I tell you
there was lots of fun for a little while ;
now it’s all over. Mother had to give
in.”
