And strewed our pathway with her choicest flowers. And lulled as with the magic of her tongue That wki-pered in tho breeze : or louder stnag Ah I’hilomel, till erery fibre swung in rapturous pleasure Known but to the young. Uncli happy past rememb’ring. who but sighs i'or Summer, vanishing. Too soon she dies. But some say. Wherefore weep ? ! Winner returns. True, but not this, not this : Granted, tho earth may wake again To life and beauty, neath the ardent kisa Of vet another, which shall doubtless reign, Lavish of fruits and flowers and blessed grain. Jiow nurtured with her smile, now with her rain ; Bat for thu Summer we shall grieve in vain. Once dead, forever dead : the days of yore, To hearts that aohe with longing, come no more. No skies will be so bright; At least to u~, who gazed on those of June ; B held the West with light aflame : Then waited tor the rising of the moon, That later like a saintly spirit came. No fairer morns the glowing East will claim, Nor rouse the lark to spread Aurora s fame : What fnture Hummer days cau be the same ? Of all that wait our mortal path to cheer, What equal to the past, what haif so dear ? And therefore do we monni Out of our life the sweetest chapter done; The very fairest page gone by There could not he a happier one Though we are aged ere we come to lie In Deai.U’a embrace ; be be far or nigh, We always must rememb r. you and I. These balcvon days departed, brief as bright— This Hummer which is dying as I write. BATING A FOUNDATION MTONK. At .era harvest dews and harvest moonshine. Ear the stone beneath this Autumn sunshine.

After breakfast a committee consisting of the Chairman, with Gen. M. A. Stovall and H. G. Wright, Esq , was appointed to ascertain when the President would see the dele gation. While the committee were talking with Postmaster-General Key on the sabject, the President advanced to where they stood, and learning the ob ject of their visit, said he would go at once to the room of the delegation. Ac companied by Key he went to the Au gusta headquarters and was presented to the Augusta del. gates, exchanging with each a pleasant word of greeting and a cordial shake of the hand. Major liaruM Said that the delegation, representing the people of Augnsta had been, ap ointed by the authorities to repeat to his Excellency the invitation which had been extended a short time since by the City Council to him to visit Angusta. If his plans could be so modified as to allow him to accept the invitation, he con Id assure him of a warm and cordial welcome. In reply, The f*r"*ilent Said that his arrangements were such as to prevent an acceptance of the invi tation kindly extended. There were ladies in his party who were fatigued from travel, aud it was impossible for him to extend hia tour. If he went to Augusta ho would have to break en gagements at Lynchburg and Char lottesville, previously made, and he was compelled to be in Washington on Tues day. He was gratified by the kindness shown him by the authorities of Au gusta, and greatly regretted hia in ability to avail himself of it at this time. K>py Haul he could inform the President that he knew Augusta well by reputation, an 1 that it was a beautiful and very pleasant city.

Under any cir cumstances, the hospitality of which we trust. Georgians may justly boast, would make tbe President of the United States cordially welcome upon our soil. [Great cheering.] But yon, sir, come into our midst not ns a President only. The great, interest over which you preside, the stupendous power which you wield, as! Chief Magistrate, the dignity with which your name in invested by that power—these are not tfig s.qie ideas which move us in this greeting today.

[Great ap plause]. i President li ayes was next introduced and greeted with great cheering, when he said ; Fellow citizen* of Georgia : My friends of Georgia, I regret that by rea- I son of a slight cold, taken a day br two ago in a rain storm in East Tennessee, j my voice is uot in a condition to be ] heard for the few first sentences of my . address by any considerable portion of this vast audience, but if you will bear : with me I suspect I shall make myself heard. The day before yesterday, at. Chattanooga, I met a committee of your citizens who desired me and urged me to extend, with the party accompanying me, our trip to your beautiful and pros perous city. ]Ve were all very desirous to accept that invitation. We felt that, extended as it was, it a very great honor to us individually. We uif that it would be a very great pleasure to meet yo At your homes, but our ar rangements ahi-mi had been made, and I supposed it was out ot tire question to extend the trip. Happily oSr ailro*d friend* insured us that by riding all of last uigtn ***4 afi of to night, we should be able to visit and at once those who were the healthier and strong er of the party, urged by those of the other sex, consented to come. And C ow we are here, I wish to sav in a single sentence, wo are glad to be here. [Applause.] Tim very eloquent address to which we have listened, end eepcflially the very en couraging statements we I+9ye heard from the Governor of Georgia, are Finely of themselves, greeted as they have been, aud endorsed by the applause of this gtoit audience— they are of themselves so etevv 3 gratification that I would not, , on anv have missed the plea sure I have felt this morning. [Cheers. ] I suppose that here, as everywhere else, I &ui in the presence of me* Of both great political parties I am speaXmg, also in the pyoeence of citizens of both races. lam quite aur,e that there are before me very many of tfie k"?ve men who foagfit in the Confederate ar*_y.

Republi cans, Democrats, colored people, ycute people, Confederate soldiers and Union soldiers, all of one aaied and one heart to-dav 1 flmmense cheering.] And why should we not be? What is there to separate us longer ? Without any fanlt of vonrs or any fault of mine, or of any oueofthis great aaiteu#*, slavery ex ] isted ia this country. It was in tnaCon i stitution of the country. The colored ; man was here, not by his own voluntary cation. It was the misfortune of his fathers that he was here. I think it is safe to skv thst it was by the crime of our fathers that he was here. He was here, however, and we of the two sections dif fered about what should be done with j him. As Mr. Lincoln told us in the war, there were prayers on both sides for I him Both sides found in the Bible | confirmation of their opinions, and both sides finally undertook to settle the question by that last final means of ar bitration—force of arms. You here mainly joined the Confederate side and fought bravely, risked your lives heroic ally, in behalf of your convictions, and can I, can any true mau anywhere, fail to respect the man who risks his life for his convictions? [Prolonged cheers.] ADd as I accord that respect to von, and believe you to be equally liberal and generous and jnst, I feel that as I stand before you as one who fought in the Union army for his convictions, I am entitled to your respect. [Cheers.] Now that conflict is over, my triends, Gover nor Hampton repeated to you last night the way I have been in the habit of put ting it since I came to the South. There were a larger proportion of trained sol diers in your army at first than in ours; in a much larger proportion yon were good marksmen and good horsemen (and that is two-thirds of a good soldier.) [Laughter.] But gradually we learned to ride, too [laughter], and, as some of yon know, gradually we learned to shoot. [Renewed laughter.] I happen to know how well yon shoot. [Cheers.] Well, having learned how to ride and shoot, then it was a case of fight between Greek and Greek, and when Greek meets Greek von know what the conflict is; [cheers] and, more than that, you know exactly how it will terminate. That party*in that fight will always conqner that has the most Greeks. [Laughter and cheers.] So, with no discredit to you aud no special credit to us, the war turned out as it did. [Cheers.] Now shall we quit fighting? [Cries of “Yes,yes ?”J I have been in the nabit of telling an anecdote of General Scott and a statesman at Washington,in which the statesman said that as soon as the war was overjand the combatants laid down their arms, wo would have com plete peace. “No,” said General Scott, “it will take several years in which all the powers of the General Government will be employed in keeping peace be tween the belligerent non-combatants.” [Laughter.] Now, I think we have got ten through with that [cheers], and hav ing peace between the soldiers and the non-combatants, that it is an end of the war. Is there any reason, then, why we should not be at peace forevermore ? We are embarked upon the same voy age, upon the same ship, under the same old flag. Good fortune or ill for tune affects you and your children as well as my people and my children. [Cheers.] Every interest you possess is to be promoted by peace. Here is this great city of Atlanta gathering to itself from all parts of the conntry its wealth and business by its railroads, and I say to you that every description of industry and legitimate business needs peace. That is what capital wants. Discord, discontent and dissatisfaction are the enemies of these enterprises. Then all onr interests are for peace. Aro we not agreed about that ? What do we want for the future ? I believe it is the duty of tho General Government to regard equally and alike the interests and rights of all sections of this country. [Cheers. ] I am glad that you agree with me about that. I believe, further, that it is the duty of the Government to regard alike aud equally the rights aud inter ests of all classes of citizens. [Cheers.] That covers the whole matter. That wipes ont in the future in our politics the section line forever. [Cheers.] And let me say a word upon what has been done. Ido not undertake to discuss or defend particular measures. I leave the people, with their knowledge of the facts, to examine,[discuss and decide for themselves as to them. I speak of gen eral considerations and notions. What troubles our people at the North, What has troubled them was that they feared that these colored people, who had been made freemen by the war, would not be safe in their rights and interests in the South unless it was by the interference of the General Government. Many good people had that I had given that matter some consideration, and now, my colored friends, who have thought, or who have been told that I was turning my back upon the men whom I fought for, npw ljsten I 4fter thinking over it, I believed that your fights and interests would be safer if this great mans of in telligent white men were let alone by the General Government. [lmmense enthusiasm and cheering for several minutes.] And now, my colored friends, let mo say another thing. We have b ’en trying it for these six months, and, in my opinion, no six months since the war have there been so few outrages and in vasions of your rights, nor you so secure in vour rights, persons and homes, as in the last six months. [Great cheering.] Then, my friends, we sve all together upon one proposition. Wo believe, and in this ail those who arp here agree, in the Union of our fathers, in the old flag of our fathers, the Constitution as it is with all its amendments, aud are prepared to see it fully aud fairly obey ed knd enforced. [Cheers.] Now, my friends, 1 see it cfated occasionally that President Hayes has taken £b, a course lie lias because he was compelled to it. [Voices—“Wo don’t believe it ! ”] Now 1 was compelled to it. [Applause.] I was compelled to it by my sense of duty under my oath of! ofilce. [lntense en thusiasm and cheers. ) What was done by us done, not merely by force of special circumstances, but was just and right to do it. [Cheers, j Now, let us come together. Lot each man make up his mind to be a patriot in bis owd home place. You may quarrel about the tariff, got up a sharp contest about the purrency, about* tho removal ot State capitate anji where they sdfi.. ?° i0 [laughter], but upon tlje great question of tho Union of States aud the fights of nil tho citizens, we shall agree forever j more. [Great cheers.] I shall not for get this reception and greeting. Every good purpose I have will be strengthened by what X have seen and heard here to day. I thank you for thP help it will give me hereafter during my term of of fice. I bid you good morning. ( Cheers, j Air. Evans. At the conclusion of tho President’s speech, he introduced Mr, Evarts, the famous Secretary of the State, who said: Mr. Mayor, Ooii. Colquitt, Fclloiu- Citi zens of Georgia : I am afraid that this north winj will carry my words too far south to be heard by n uv of yon. [Laughter,] I have no doubt fast you recoguize the north wind as a very Voioome yisitor to you in tho parching heat of Summer, , aud wo like to have the south wind iD the bitter turns of onr long Winter, Our fit one another very well, and there waeii'i any use fighting in order that we might be ail cold and you all hot in this country. (Laughter.] You raize a great deal of cotton aud wo wear a great deal pf cotton [laughter], and there is no reason wi,y we should have fought in order that you might go naked for waut of labor, and we go naked for waut of shirts. [Laughter.] Now, our nucc-stors, your anoestors, with their great souls and their great intellects, framed a government that was adt quate for their descendants, however nume rous and however widely dispersed, provided only that their descendants had something of that largeness of heart aud that soundness of sense that their ancestors had. IJo ancestry can make institutions or frame a government for a degenerate nation of their descend ants. We have shown that among differences discords in our politics, finally exceeding the qognds of debate, and launching us into scenes of yaf, we have learned after all that at the bottom of the polities aud of the war there was unexhausted the patriotism and intelli gence of the American people. [Ap plause.] That, having by our birthright equality and liberty, we have also learn ed that"neither equality nor liberty cau long be preserved unless we add to them fraternity ( applause], and that we propose to do. While the great nations of Europe, with whose condition it was our pjride and boast to contrast our su periority, nftp srming and fighting, and arming again anu fighting again, be cause Ifeey are not oue : uatioq,'t :t folly that'we should arm nnff Hunt ne capse we wer* one nation? We have learned that it was folly. We have learned that wisdom ia better than wea pons of war, and neodipg no longer any experiments to prove our courage, our endurance and our resources, we have decided that' henceforth we will unite them all, and teach the mucous of Eu rope that the way to avoid wars jfn the future fa to enlarge the boundaries of nationality aud peace. But lye aye more fortunate tbaa they. Inheriting sepa rate nationalities, the dream of Europe has been to make a republic of nations, while we, by fortune or circumstances, are a nation of republics. [Great cheers. ] THEJPKBSIDjSNTIN NASHVILLE. The Dinner at Col. E.’W. Cole’s—The te*ts —The Reception. [A 7 ajtot£6 jLir.erican.] After the reception at the Folk man sion, the distinguished party took their departure, with many regrets that their stsy had necessarily to be so brief. The resident visitors remained for some time after and then departed. From Mrs. Fresident Polk’s residence the President and friends went to Terrace K’lacc, Col. E. W. Cole’s residence on Church street. Here a very pretty ceremony took place. The Presidential party ar riving in the vestibule Master Randall Cole presented Mrs. Hayes with a hand some bonquet, while at the same time Miss Lou Cole presented President Hayes with another elegant bouquet. The party were then conducted from the vestibule into the hall. John F. Whe less, Esq., introduced the President, to Col. Cole and wife, and Dr. W. P. Jones presented Mrs. Hayes. They were then conducted into the drawing room atid the entire party introduced to other guests, who had" been especially invited to dinner. The front of the residence and grounds were profusely and beautifully docorated with evergreens, sea-moss and flags, and hung with numerous Chinese lanterns, which at night were reinforced by the dazzling light from three loco motive headlights, which gave to the scene the brilliancy of noonday. With in the ornamentations were more elabo rate, consisting of festoons of flowers huDg in beautiful profusion from the chandaliers, and garlands of evergreens and flowers extended from one to an other. Large vases of flowers orna mented numerous stands, floral baskets and bouquets were here and there, and rare ferns completed the decoration. Tbe large double dining room was or namented in the same manner as were the halls and drawing rooms, with every gem of the florists’ art. In the folding doors between the two rooms, pendant, was the letter “H.,” composed of hand some crimson flowers, relieved by white on the borders. The tables, which met each other somewhat in the form of a Z, were provided with covers-for thirty two guests. At the place for each guest was a vase with a bonquet, and an ele gant engraved card, bearing the name of the guest expected to occupy that seat. At the head of the table, Mrs. Cole gracefully presided, with the President seated to her right. Opposite was Col. Cole, and to his right Mrs. Hayes. Around the table were President Hayes, Mrs. Cole, Hon. E. H. East, Miss Mary Evarts, Mrs. Gen. J. 'B. Palmer, Mr. Jenny, Rev. Dr. T. O. Summers, Hon. E. D. Standeford, Gen. Maury, Mr. S. W. Edwards, Hon. James Whitworth, Mrs. Porter, Hon. W. M. Evarts, Mr. Burchard Hayes, Capt. J. F. Wheless, Governor Wade Hampton, Mrs. Hayes, Col. E, W. Cole, Governor James D. Porter, Miss Platt, Mr. Prescott Evartp, Hoe. J. D. Richardson, Mr. L. F. Ben son, Col. Marsh T. Polk, Mr. Chas. H. Russell, Col. Y. K. Stevenson, Gen. B. F. Cheatham, Miss Bettie Evarts, Hon. D. M. Key, Mr. Webb C. Hayes. Dr. W. P. Jones, Gen. G. P. Thruston. The dinner was a marvel of the enisinier’s art, and comprised all the delicacies, native and foreign, procurable. During the entire repast a splendid baud re galed the gnests with melodious music. When the hour for the reoeption—6, p. m.—arrived, guests from the city be gan to pour in. Over 2,000 persons were invited. These passed from the vesti bule into the hall and thence into the drawing room, where they were met by ushers and introduced to host and host ess and to the Presidential party. A few words having been spoken to each, the visitors passed into the spacious dining room, where were served fruits, cakes and creams. From thence all passed out to tho eastern sidewalk aud homeward. For two hours a steady stream of people passed in and out. While the guests were thus entertained a string band discoursed music in the library room, while a brass band played on the grounds outside. The reception over a hop followed, which was kept up until the small hours of the night. At 6 o’clock, p. m., Ward’s school called on tho President and party, by the kind invitation of Col. E. W. Cole, at his residence, where each was intro duced and shook hands with the Presi dent and Mrs. Hayes, and, passing out, returned to the seminary. TWENTY-NINTH SENATORIAL DIS TRICT. lion. W. I). Tull. Editora Chronicle and Constitutionalist: We believe that the senseless system of “rotation” in the office of Senator among the counties composing the Twenty-ninth Senatorial District ended with the re-election of Judge Wm. M. Reese to that office in 1874. What was done then we propose to adhere to for the future. Judge Reese having, as we are informed on good authority, declined to serve any longer, we propose as his successor the Hon. AVilliam D. Tutt, well known to the people of the entire District. Upon the next General As sembly will devolve the important duty of organising tho State government under the Constitution recently framed by Georgia’s own sons, to take the place of the black and tan fraud of 1868, and therefore that General Assembly ought to bo com posed of men capable and qualified for the duties that will be imposed on them.

[CorrespondenceChronicle cindConstitutionalist ] Tuoimox, MpDuFt'iE County, Sep tember 21.—The Superior Court of this county adjourned to-day, after disposing of as much business as could possibly have been done in so short a time. There have been many visiting attorneys in attendance ; among them were General Lucius J. Gartrell, of Atlanta; Wm. M. Reese aud his son and partner, M. P. Reese, Frank H. Colly and General Dudley M. Dußose, of the Washington Bar; Hon. C. Q. Dußose, of Warrenton; Davenport Jackfeoh 1 , M. if. Carroll. Samuel F. Webb, Frank H. Miller and Fred T. Lockhart, of the Augusta Bar. Everything seemed to glide on smooth ly and rapidly under the guidance of Judge Gibson, who was looking fresh and pleasing, and raja the machinery of the Court with ’ satisfaction tp the ba*.' aud people general})*. A case was being tried upon the foreclosure of a laborer’s lieu, iu which a man named Arthur Gunn W ag plaintiff; Mr. Paul 0. Hudson represented [daintifl, jmd Mr. Wm. D. Tutt the defendant, me “ An ‘ tlemau, slth his usual legal precision, contended that the plaintiijf had not complied with the requirements of the statute, as lie had not completed his contract-, Mr. Hudson, on the contrary, made a very pathetic speech upon the justice of the case, and urged the jury to carefully guard the sacred rights of laborers, etc. Judge Gibson, in his charge to the jnry, became Scriptural and told them, that under the law of Moses, the sun was never allowed to set upop a laborer’s wages, and that since the star of Bethlehem appeared all gov ernment had studiously protected those who earned their bread by the sweat of their brow, whereupon p. gentleman of the bar wrote the following verses s “Tutt contends for statute right, Hudson fights for justice; Judge Gibson puts them both to flight With Bethlehem’s Star ami Israel’s sun. And ’cides the case for Arthur Gunn.” We will suppress the name of the poet, because he might imagine himself a horn one, and waste time in boring editors with effusions of rhyme. The caifsc eelelre of the terra was the State against Wm. H. Howard, charged with murder. The State was repre sented by Salem Duteher, Esq., Solici tor-General, H. G. Roney and F. H. Colly, Esqs. The defense by Genera! Lucius J. Gartrell, tl)e great criminal lawyer of Georgia, Wm. D. Tutt, Paul C. Hudson and Jnriab Casey, Esqs. The arguments on both sides were in dicative of fine professional training and the highest order of forensic elo quence. The conduct of the ease re flected the most studious and delicate adherence to legal ethics and not a harsh word was indulged in by counsel who contested iu the most earnest manner every salient point in the case. Gen. Gar trell displayed the usual zeal, energy and acumen he is accustomed to throw into all his bar efforts, and wrenched con viction of innocence from the mind of the accuser himself. Mr. Tutt made the very finest speech of his life, and many thought he excelled his senior in tho psasterly manner in which he han dled the facts. Jt has seldom been the writer’s fortune to hear a better speech. He grouped and applied the facts with so much insight into the human charac ter that, before ue had half finished, tne faces of the jury clearly indicated per fect satisfaction as to the innocence of tho accused. Bv the way, I heard that the people of the 2Bth Senatorial Dis trict are talking cf bringing Mr. Tutt out for the Senate. If so they will find him a man fully capable of filling the honored position, and will, if elected, come up to the expectations of the most sanguine of his constituency. Howard wag acquitted, and justly so. He was clearlv justified, esd the young man will I hope, engrave the solemn mszon upon his heart, and that to kill a hu man being, under the most urgent cir cumstances, is s terrible responsibility. The crops are not good in McDuffie, and nearly every farmer with whom 1 talked asserts that he will not make more than half a cotton crop and about one-third of a corn crop; still with all the casnalties they seem cheerful and happv, and their ‘hospitality is as un bounded as if they were making mil lions. Tho Court will meet again on the second Monday in October and finish up the criminal business. Maecenas.

A ROMANCE THAT WILL BE READ WITH INTEREST HERE. A Former Augo-ita Man Arrested in Chicago —What He Is Charged With Doing—Ben Briscoe’s Still Hunt for Him—A Chicago Reporter’s Account of the Case. When B. Briscoe, of Atlanta, a mem ber of the firm of West, Edwards & Cos., was in New York about a year or more ago, he was arrested on some charge and put in Ludlow Street Jail. While there he says he was swindled out of $2 500 by Jos. Sylvester, at one time a resident of Angusta, and a member while here of the clothing firm of Pope, Mack & Cos. The rest of the story is told as follows by the Chicago limes: Sylvester was arrested on State street, near Madison, in the afternoon, about 2 o’clock, by Capt. Bull, the head of Tur tle’s detective agency. The young man, dressed in the latest Fall style, and wearing glasses, was engaged in the idle but highly entertaining art of flirting with the fashionable throng that was ont in full force. As Capt. Bull laid his hand on Sylvester’s shoulders, the latter sought to brush it off, and was very much affronted at Bull’s familiarity. But the detective soothed the wounded honor of tbe perfumed young gent, and asked him to take a walk. Sylvester said he had some friends at the Palmer House, with whom he had an engage ment, and he hoped (this very gracious) that he would be permitted to call on them first, and excuse himself, as he didn’t like to keep his friends waiting. The officer was sorry for his inability to accommodate him, and added that the young mau Had Kept a Friend Waiting For him for some months, and hadn’t exercised much solicitude about the affair either. Sylvester waked up in as tonishment, and then, regaining his more cautious footing, he said, with a sycophantic smile: “Oh, yes, I see. Avery clever joke, by Jove.” ‘•Yes, d—d clever,” said a voice that hadn’t any deception in it, aud Sylves ter started at it like a man out of his slumber at midnight. The man who said it was a true typo of the section whence ho came. B. Briscoo, of Atlanta, Ga., is tho man who laid his hand on Sylvester and told him in very strong laugnage that the joke was ‘d—d clever.’ ” Briscoe is a man who indulges in no nonsense. His face is one of those which takes the place of a passport, and what he has to say is said, and that ends it. He had been deceived, as he said, by this man Sylvester, aud wrong ed to a degree that lias kept him upon the deceiver’s track for nearly twelve months. And yesterday, when he found him arrayed like a street dandy, per fumed and exquisite, upon the most fashionable business thoroughfare, og ling silly young women who noticed him, it wasn’t much wonder that Briscoe was unable to check his Southern fire and forget his religion for the time being. Two years ago Sylvester went from Chicago to New York city, the former metropolis, notwithstanding its dash and growth, being entirely too small for the young swell. At one time he held a responsible place in a wholesale cloth ing house of that island town; at an other, it is said he was the bosom com panion of a brace of police shysters who needed him for a straw-bailer, and later still it is alleged that ho Hung Ilis Own Shingle in the Wind As au “attorney and counsellor.” There is no doubt but be had some peculiar influence somewhere in his new home. Ho was upon the promenades, a dashing Beau Brummel. He went out for his drives, and loitered upon the beach in the Summer. During this revel of plea sure he met Mr. Briscoe, of Georgia. It’s a little singular how a man like Briscoe, from his appearance accustomed to the mannerisms of his section, should ever permit himself to bo led into the con fidence of this incomparable snob and swell, whose only aim in life seemed to be to wear tube-roso and sprinkle his clothes with rose water. But he did, and there grew up between them some kind of an intimacy which is still cover ed wp in mystery Briscoe got into trouble, not on his own account it seems, but through the rascality of some par ties with whom he was associated in business. He did not seek, however, to screen himself behind their deeds, but came out and assumed the responsibility himself. Precisely what this transac tion was the detective doesn’t want to state without Briscoe’s permission, and Briscoe has concluded to bo provoking by refusing to giye it away qntil the whole thing is developed in Ooqrt. To extricate himself fronj the trouble, he Coniiiieti tlie Secret tn Sylvester, And the young fop at once rubbed his hands in ecstaoy. He agreed to lead Brißcoe out of the wilderness for $2,500. Or, rather, if Briscoe would leave him that amount he would remove every ob stacle iu his way by using the funds ju dicially, and where they would do the most good. For his own service, Syl vester didn’t ask pmch —didn’t want much. Briscoe gayp Sylyestey the money in SIOO bills, “all fresh from the bank,” saifl Brispoe, an 4 shaking the hands of Sylypstey. lift passed opt pf the rumble of the great jgasteru city to the quietude of his own Southern home. A few weeks elapsed, and Briscoe began to grow restless over the failure of Syl vester to communicate with him, and he again started for Gotham. He arrived in the city about the 20th of October, 1876, and went to Sylvester’s place of business, but ho was not there. The now occupants of the nlace knew noth ing o l him, oy if they (fid they wouldn’t give it way. Brishoe 'remained in New York for several weeks, using his money and time to get upon the track of The Mysteriously Missing: Man. At length, wearied ape] hoppjese, he left the v asp in the hands of the Detec tive Department there and went home. But ho still chafed over the deception that had been practiced upon him. He visited other cities and was in communi cation with different detective agencies t.hmnehout the country. Last Spring, in the month of March or April, he stumbled upon the first clue as to the hiding placfe of tbe deceiver. Efe > ,,aß * n Europe I Briscoe concluded to 1 let the young man waste his funds in the riot of luxury for a season, feel jug wpl] assured that he would come back again, as it is said all great rascals do who leave here. Briscoe further ascertained that Sylves ter’s peoplo lived in Chicago, and he ac cordingly dropped a hint to Captain Turtle, of Turtle’s Detective Bureau, of this city. A weeks gjppg it wfts as certained that yylyester had sailed from Europe. He skipped New York, and Briscoe came in haste to Chicago, where he has beep ever since in consultation with Captain Bull. They have seen Syl vester several times on the street, but so much at ease did he seem, and so en grossed was he with the butterfly life, that they concluded to let him play the daisy for a little while longer. The ar rest was finally made, as has been de tailed above. After the trio had walked a few blocks, Briscoe turned to Sylves ter and told him If He Would Give Him SI,OOO To pay his gctual expenses for looking after him he would let him go. Sylves ter accepted the proposition, and said he would go and get the amount. But he didn’t want anybody to go with him. This wouldn’t do and he was taken to Justice Haines’ office, much against his will. A warrant was gotten out imme diately (the first warrant having been dismissed), charging Sylvester with lar ceny and with beitig a fugitive from jus tice from the State of New York. Syl vester was a prisoner iu- the full sense of the word, and he sank back on the bench where there have been criminals before, and pulled his mustache more nervously than ever. Then he would walk to and fro about [he room. He exhibited an agitation that was painful, and at last wanted to know what they proposed to do with him. Raines informed his attorney, who asked for a continuation until Monday, that the bail would be fixed at $4,000. The attorney said it could be given very readily, but up to the hour of the Jus tice’s departure it was not forthcoming, and Sylvester was placed in the custody of Captain Ball. Sylvester said that his father would go his bail, but he didn’t want to let the old man ' know anything about the trouble. Beyond this he had no story to tell, refusing to open his month until he was in Court. Briscoe telegraphed for extradition papers last night. ADJUSTING A WHEAT CORNER. How a Speculative Deadlock in Baltimore Was Arranged by a Committee. Baltimoee, September 25. —A corner in No. 2 Winter red wheat of September delivery commenced on Thursday last, was amicably adjusted this morning by both parties settling on $1 53 as the price for to-day, and two gentlemen were appointed to name the price each day Jor the balance of the month.

How One Train Passed Another on u Single Track on the Union Pacific. [From the Beloit Free Press.] Dr. H. P. Strong, brother of the general superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy lfailroad, who has recently re turned from Colorado tells the following exciting story: Last Saturday our train was running from Denver to Cheyenne to connect with the Union Pacific at Cheyenne. When within eighteen miles of Cheyenne and about thirty-five miles of Greeley, and while running up a ten mile grade, one of the axles of the tender broke, and the whole train with the exception of our car was thrown from the track and badlv jam med up. The assistant superintendent of the road happened to be on board, and, as wc surveyed the ruins, he told us that there was no engine at Cheyenne that could be sent to our assistance, and we must l<x)k to Greeley, and that we were probably booked for an eighteen-mile walk to Cheyenne, where we would have to remain over Sat urday. This was decidedly disagreeable to all of us, as we had been informed that during the Summer the Cheyenne preachers are all off on vacation, and consequently there are no religious services to atiend. While thinking of our hard luck I hap pened to look back over the road, and ob served that we had been running on an up grade for a long distance, and at the same time, I remembered that about fifteen min utes before we had jumped the track we met a train on a side track going to Denver. A thought struck me that there was a way out of the dilemma. I turned to the engineer and asked him if there was any up-grade toward Greeley. He said that there was only one—a heavy one about eight miles back. After that it was all down grade. I called for crowbars instantly, and two or three train-men ran out thirty or forty rods on to the prairie and dug up the bars. You see the railroad company have coupling-irons, crowbars, and'sueh things “catchtxl” in the ground all along the road, so as to have them ready for use at any time. They have to keep them under the ground, because the air is so rarified that iron and all the coarser metals, when exposed to its action, very soon lose their destiny, becoming like so much sand, without strength, and ,per fectly worthless. While the boys were after the crowbars I explained to our party that 1 belivod we could pry our car loose from the coupling with the train, and, having a down-grade, we could catch the train we had met. We soon had the car uncoupled witli the aid of crowbars, and a dozen or more of us started on the car. She glided along faster and faster, gathering speed every second. Not being familiar with the grades, the only fear I had was that our car would not gain sufficient momentum to overcome the up-grade, though, of couse, I hoped it would. We very soon struck it, and, lassure you, I watched the progress of the car with a good deal of interest. And it just made it and that was all. We jumped otf and pushed her a little, and down-we started again on a twenty-five mile down-grade. I looked ahead, and several miles off could easily see the train we were after, but it was almost instantly shut out from sight by our suddenly running into a dense mass of flying grasshoppers, evidently seeking to alight on the ground. We hail all been standing on the platform up to this time, but when we met these grasshoppers we were driven into the car, as they struck our faces with the force of hail-stones. Looking through the windows we could see nothing but grasshoppers, so thick were they, and only now and then could we get a glimpse of the ground even. After a minute or two I became a little anxious, as I knew we were going very fast, and, as I had engineered the brake, 1 started up from my seat, and tying a heavy handkerchief about my face, went out to the platform and siezed the brake. Fora minute it wasn’t clear in my mind whether I could hold out against the pelting of the ‘hoppers or not; but suddenly, when I was about 'whipped, our car emerged from the swarm, and as soon as I realized it, I tore the handkerchief from my face and looked out for the train, with my hands on the brake, ready to avoid running into it. I felt queer when, in look ing, I couldn’t sec that train, and when I took one look around and saw that our car was running on hare ground, with the track about twenty-five rods to my left, I tel) you the cold shiver ran up and down my back to a very considerable extent. If a man ever put “ down brakes,” it was me. I laid right back and tightened that brake wheel three more cogs than had ever been done by the strongest man on the road. She stopped, and as I turned to open the car door to call out to the crowd, I heard an engine whistle “ down brakes.” I jumped off to the ground, and looking backward toward the sound, saw that engine slowing up behind us on the track. I hadn’t a word to say. I began to think that I would like to get out of that country right away, and be tucked up in my little bed at home until I got well. The other fellows were soon jumping out on the ground, and they were as astonished as I was. We started for the train, which had now come to a standstill, the conductor shouting as we came up, “ 'VY'ell, boys, you did tljat pretty vyell.” Says I, “ See here mister, we’re strangers in this country, and though we’ve had some experience in the East, we’ll be blamed if we know what you mean when you say that we did that pretty well." ‘‘Why, taking your car past us, of course, we w'ere afraid some green-horn was managing your oar when we saw it coining down the grade before the ‘hoppers’ struck us. We "knew, however, that we were leaving you a hard hopper lied to do the trick on.” Well, to come to the point, the train ahead of us had mashed so many dead ‘hoppers on the road lied that it was filled up full, even with the rails, so that when our car got along it slid right sff the rails, and the ground was so hard and eyen that it run close oh fopr miles before I put on the brakes apd siopppd per,’ and IW she jyas yuntiirig'jifosp fftpr iiivlps wn passed the tnjifi we wcj'e trying to" overtake, the devtsp mass of hying hoppers preventing us from seeing it as we went by. In conversation with the conductor after wards I learned it was quite a regular Irick of the engineers on the Union Pacific Bond to pass another train. They will pull their trains off the track, go by undiscovered by reason of the destiny of the ‘hoppers, pull back on the track, and when ‘life uaSaea train fetches up at the next stapon ltd engi neer has to “.sip \em up” for all hands. As it is sppper time, and to got down to results, wn got our ear back on the track, and hitched a 'hopper plrny on tr. j. ear car ' and the engine ah<i *- a j n l h Uw "TGcit, from which we jiaij bp£p gogc just nineteen miuqU)&, pi wiped; pipe we pad travelled eighteen’ miles twice.

[Charlotte Observer.] A correspondent at Davidson College writrs ns of an incident which occurred two dr three days ago near that village, and which feeds something like the deeds of daring of the days of Ivanhoe, when men eared not to face deatli itself to win the smiles of “women fair.” A young gentle man, a son of one ef our well known public men, was out horseback riding in company witli a lady friend, when the lrorse ridden by tfie young lady became frightened and ran at iqll speed dqwn a long, steep Hill. Our hero immediately spurred after her. When the horse of the lady was about en tering a thick wood, with the self-possession of a Joan of Arc, she slipped her foot from the sturrup and threw herself from the flying animal. Her gallant escort was im mediately behind, and his horse coming suddenly upon the prostrated lady, sprang over her and dashed into the wood. His rider finding him unmanageable, and being solicitous for the welfare of his companion, sprang from the horse while he was going at full speed, unmindful of the consequences of so dangerous a leap, and landing upon the ground unhurt. He then ran back und had the pleasure of finding the lady wreath ed in her usual bright smiles, and unhurt. The Carious Coin. [Charlotte Observer.] Some time ago vve noticed the fact that a coin of the denomination of a half dollar, altogether different from the one in use, having the figure i on one side and the goddess of liberty on the other, had beea received by Messrs Sample $ fyelmoiei The ass<tyer of the pJut'i'n this v city had no, knowledge that ihe United Slates had ever authorized the issue of such a coin, and wrote Vo the Supermtendant of the United States Mint for information. He replied that the design of a half dollar of 1859 was from a series of experimental pieces made in that year, none of which were adopted or issued. A number of the pieces were, however, sold to numismatists. How it came’ into this part of the country is the unsolved portion of the mystery. IN ew Advertisements.
