He visits the Vault to tako a last look at his Lost Love. His Farewell Address. This morning, mother, you thought me better. The clock has just struck the hour of three. Is tho sunslight roiled with clouds?” “No my darling, tho day is fair and the sun shines brightly.” “Then mother, death is stealing o’er me.” “Call Eugene; the shadows thick- ~ “Ah! Eugene, my beloved, j - - - i fear, a Be moro blessed: but I pray thee to protect | almost instantly the figures of two and bless those whom she loved earth- Oh! Alice, my beloved and lost, must I leave thse so soon in this cold dark vault. Dearest I kiss thy forehead, thy cheek, thy lips: I place my hand upon those wavy curls through which my fingers so often roved, I place it upon that tender bosom which throbbed with love for me and beat so sweetly in unison with mine. The thought of thy love and the light of thy smile, in life and now in death, will abide with mo until we shall meet again in Heaven. Would that I could linger here, to gaze upon the im press of felicity which thy face ex hibits. Thou seera’st to be in an enchanted sleep. My Alice, look down from supernal skies and smile as I kiss thee now, again, and casting up my thoughts to heaven say, from my tortured soul to thy happy spirit: farewell my angel love till death shall re-unite ns forevermore. A shrill whistle warned Eugene that he could stay no longer. Hastily replacing the lid he retired from the sacred resting place of his Alice. In bidding Mrs. Vivian fare well he stated, that owing to his de lay in the vault he had imperfectly fastened the lid of the coffin which contained their mntual idol. “Go early,” said he “and see how beautiful she etill continues.” CHAPTER H. Eugene’s Long Absence—A Narrow Escape. A man named Edson, an employee of a mercantile firm in New York of which Eugene was a silent partner, obtained leave of absence for a day.

Chamber lain's fancy sketch of the “Hamburg Horror,” addressed to Senator Rob ertson, at Washington. After a few rhetorical flourishes, his Excellency says: “Such acts call for condem nation and punishment.” I entirely agree with nim, and if he does not take steps at osce to have them con demned and punished he should be hurled from the position which his imbecility disgraces. I have been the object and target of Radical ma lignity, and assigned a position in this affair similar to that of Sitting Boll in the Custor massacre. I have been slandered and traduced by the Governor’s emissaries for doing nothing more than my very plain and simple duty; and now I chal lenge him to begin his legal investi gation. He knows my residence, and knows that tho presence of Uni*« ted States soldiers is not necessary for my arrest or that of any other white man who was at Hamburg; and before that investigation closes, if I do not show that the negroes mS-lAfceiieucy weio u* of the riot, and his appointees could it; that the company caUed * wvGUfin but a band of noters re- not >-JI I r % endered, in gentlest accents, the I v <*or*olations he lost every trace of the embezzler.

As to the details oi his report it need only be said that they are copious, careful aud probably correct; but the writer s conclusions, which may be briefly given, are interesting. He finds that the New Yorker can now eat and drink, and bo clothed and housed about 25 per cent cheaper than he paid for corresponding commodities in 1873; and I presume the per cen tage of decline in the price of abso lute necessities throughout the coun try has not been very different. But our statistician fails to see that our people generally have reaped any proportionate advantage from this fall, and concludes therefrom that Americans generally, and dwellers in this city in particular, are im-. provident and extravagantly incline ed. He finds by actual inquiry that people who in previous years bought 80 cent tea and 6 dollar flour and found them satisfactory, now scorn to purchase the same articles at its reduced price and save the difference, but insist on paying the old figures for a better article. The same prin ciple is found to run through the whole list of living expenses, and thus the charges of improvidence and luxury aro sustained. The incomes of nearly all classes have diminished somewhat, and therefore as people insist on keeping expenditures at the old standard, their cry of hard times acquires great emphasis. There is a good deal of “horse sense” in the writer’s final opinion that Americans will not learn to benefit from the lowering of market prices till they become close hoppers like the French, and this great lesson of frugality is one of which our countrymen as a class have not as yet learned the alt phabet, and it will take a long time to teach it, and permanent prosperity must await its acquisition before tak** ing up its abode among us; it is a very useful thing to have attention called to the subject in this manner. the contrast is a Contenmal oms reaching back to 1770, when, as we Sfwltbia cit, and PhMUrfg bad each just two school*, **«« »« youth of the period were thrashed Lto a knowledge of pohtoaecom- plishments—such as dancing, fen ing French and the like. Now such schools are a thousand for one *md in all grades from tho kindergarten to theclassical college offer th° r oagb instruction on every subject and to every nffG* ,. The most significant feature of this contrast is that relating to the dition of female odtusaUon. ^ the records of ’76 we sec nothing to show that much attention was paid to the subject beyond instructing thembow to curtsey and how to walk g fully through a minuet city alone ha* more ,0**8 seminaries than the wnoi« ^ Colonies could have boasted m those days-and these are of a high chax actor which our forefftthers never dreamed of. A fine specimen of these modern establishments, and the most New York, is Mrs. because in summer weather people instinctively seek the most passive recreation attainable. Nobody un der such circumstances can digest a lecture, and but few can stand tbe emotional wear and tear of a modern play Give us, they say, a place where we can see and hear everything that is going on without taking the smallest part in it or the slightest care of it. Let us sit lazily still or move scarcely less lazily about, as we prefer. Have good music for our delectation and plenty of cold drink within call, and then leave us to our selves. All these wishes find simnl- taneons fulfillment at Gilmore's. The surroundings are attractive, the plashing of the little fountains and the big cascade grateful to the eye and ear, and the refreshments beyond reproach. On the raised platform in the centre, among the jars in a drug store, and these to the ordinary observer hardly look worth saving. The faces have a uniformly unhappy expression, possibly owing to the tact of their skins being black, cracked and drawn over the bones of the skull as tightly as a drumhead. The mouths are usually slightly open and staffed fall of cotton—evidently in some way connected with the em balming process which perhaps adds something to the expression of settled melancholy just mentioned. The hair is in almost every case per fectly preserved. Many things about the more per fect of these mummies betray tbe ex istence among these ancient races of beliefs and traditions similar to those of the present American Indians.

Near the conductor sits Arbuckle, the favorite cornet player, who will presently lose the mouth piece of his instrument between his Napoleonic moustache and imperial, and hush the buzzing crowd to silence with his beautiful performance of old and familiar airs. Further back among the musicians is hidden Levy, the great French cornetist, the champion of the world; who, after the plaudits to his rival have subsided, will step briskly and confidently forth to the soloists’ stand. He is short and dumpy, but exquis ite to the last degree. A glossy dress suit, the shiniest of patent leathers, the highest of collars and the whitest of cravats are necessary to render him suitably presentable to an audi ence. His head, which is perfectly round and nearly bald, sits upon his shoulders without the intervention of anything approaching to a neck. His face is round, with a broad smile and a little waxed moustache for sa lient features. His appearance is the signal for still more tumultuous clap ping and cheering, which he answers with a profusion of the Frenchiest bows possible, until he thinks the noise has gone on long enough, when he suddenly raises his silvor cornet to his lips and the uproar is cut short, that none may miss tho open ing notes of “Way Down Upon the Swanee River.” Encores usually fol low each other in Levy’s case as long as he is willing to respond and then the regular programme is re sumed.

Your characters and the absence of any conceivable motive for such a purpose relieve yon from tbe necessity of denying and much more from the necessity of vindica ting yourselves from such an impu tation. But I deem it due to my self to say, that no such intention was ever for a moment entertained by me. Yon can acquit me, gentle men, of any knowledge of your com munication in the first instance.— You know that I was not consulted in reference to it, nor advised of it, until several days after it had been prepared and distributed by mail for the purpose of obtaining signatures to it. The request you made of me was so phrased, taken in connection with the whole tenor of your com munication, as that I was obliged to answer it just as I did, or else take the unpatriotic position that I would not, under any circumstances, con sent to serve the people as their Governor, even though they “by r ntaneous unsolicited movement” old call upon me to do so. This I could not do and I should have answered your request just as I did if neither General Colquitt nor any other aspirant had been in tho arena seeking the nomination. General Colqnitt and I have been on terms of personal friendship for many years. I dealt with him frankly and sincerely. On the 4th of June, in anticipation of and prior to the cor respondence between you and myself I wrote to him on the subject of the nomination. I repeat now, what I then said, to-wit: “I am no candi date for the nomination. I shall not permit myself to be put in that posi tion, nor that of asking for it, for I do not desire the nomination. I have no expectation that it will be tendered to me. Indeed, I hope it will not be. Bnt if contrary to all this it Blionld be demanded of me to accept it, I don’t see how I could decline. I have always believed that the people had as mnch right to re quire civil as military service at the hands of any citizen. I have always believed it to toe duty of snch citi zen to obey such a cjill, if he is able to do so. In addition I mnst say that my debt of gratitnde to the people of Georgia is very great. In view of these considerations, I could not refuse to serve them as their Governor, if, without solicitation on my part, they should ask me to do so. Now, General, this is precisely my position.

Oh the 15th of June 1 replied to that communication, tbat if contrary to my expectations, I shonld be called upon by the people to serve them in the Executive cav prior to the receipt of your commas ideation to me, but anticipating it. I have no definite idea of the num ber of the delegates to the Con von* tion, who, on a ballot, would favor niy nomination. They are more, however, than I had any reason to expect in the face of my letter of the 15th of June. For that was almost an invitation to the people not to call upon ino to servo them as Gov ernor. It is a matter of surprise that any county should have appoint ed delegates favoring my nomina tion. I regard it as a very high compliment that so many have done so, which I fully appreciate. And I must add that the people at large by permitting mo to remain where I am, have given another evidence of their great kindness to their un worthy sen-ant. I have said more, gentlemen, than is necessary, ns between you and my self. But knowing that this oom- mnnicalion will go to the public, I have taken tbe liberty to say Some things which I wish the public to know, that they may understand and rightly appreciate my true posi tion. Recognizing the dignity with which your movement has been con ducted and expressing my satisfac tion with the result, I am, gentle men, with sentiments of gratitude and esteem, your obedient servant and fellow-citizen, Heb8chel V. Johnson. After the reading of his letter, Mr- H. G. Wright moved that Gov. Johnson’s friends vote for Gen. Col qnitt. Gen. Young opposed Mr. NVright’s motion. After debate, Mr. Wright’s motion was carried. Gen. Colqnitt will be nominated without opposition. Gernjan Press for Tildeij. If Carl Schnrz carries the German vote in his pocket, he has certainly not captured the German press.— There are twenty-seven German pa pers pnblished in the State of Ohio.
