From our own Correspondent.
New York, Sept. 5th, 1879.
What the last Thursday of November is
j to the American turkey gobbler, such is the
Iirst day of September to the American
! oyster. It is a dies iree, a rude awakening
j for the months of ease and comparative
immunity which preoedo it; the day upon
j which the unhappy bivalve involuntarily
I rises from his long feast In the oyster bed,
! and goes up to a meal terribly like that one
; of rohnius’; a meal “not where he eats,
I but where he is eaten.”
Why the oyster is transferred from the
regular bill of fare to the Index Expunjato-
rius on May 1st, there to remain in deep dis
grace until the Autumn brings back the
magic “r,” is a mystery which neither the
oldest inhabitant nor the wisest Fulton
Market oysterman is able to explain to me.
The prejudice is apparently ill-founded, as
quite a good many New Yorkers have of
late years rebelled against it and eaten
these shell-fish all Summer, without ex
periencing the slightest inconvenience in
consequence. For the majority of people
however the “r” in tho month, is still a sort
ui' sauce without which the king of shellfish
: i< never to be consumed, and as a result,
| the sales during the tabooed season are on-
; ly about one-sixth as large as during any
equal period of the regular one. The an-
| mini consumption of oysters on this is
land is estimated—or rather guessed—to
amount to 100,000,000, and the dealers say
that the quality of the catch this season is
; higher than for many years before; the
j slaughter will probably now be greater than
| ever.
Apropos of a wordy discussion in the pa-
j pers as to whether it is possible for a rail-
! road train to actually make the speed of a
1 mile a minute, one of our dailies detailed a
repi >rter last week to ride on the locomotive
I of one of the regular trains between Phila-
I delphiaand New Y'ork, and take the time
; of various miles with the aid of the stop
watch used in timing Goldsmith Maid and
various other flyers at the Jersey State
Fairs of a dozen years past. In detailing
his experience, the reporter states that no
ext ra speed was used, the train making its
trip in the usual way, and that three suc
cessive miles were made in the short pe
rmits of 54, 52, and 50% seconds respective
ly. This time was taken by three persons,
the reporter, the conductor, and a passen
ger, so that it is certainly accurate. Wheth
er this is the fastest time on record or not,
I am not sure, but at all events, such a pace
comes about as near annihilating space, I
fancy as most travelers would desire' that
is, if they were conscious of it. But in point
of fact, here we are spinning along cease
lessly by night and by day, asleep or awake,
at a rate which makes that railroad train
the laziest of snails, for the astronomers in
struct us that the earth in its revolution
around the sun, travels something like five
hundred miles a iuinute—which is certainly
“going it.”
Some of our philosophers might profi
tably enquire whether chowder, and espec
ially clam chowder, possesses dangerous
anil belligerent qualities. Some of our
neighboring seaside friends have just been
treated to a regular old-fashioned riot of
the “b’fioys,” and they all say it was the
chowder. It was quite a serious affair and
novel, too, in these peaceful days, for since
the abolition of the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment the target companies and similar as
sociations of the wilder elements have fad
ed, gradually but effectually away. How
ever, some genius of tender years in the
historic “Bloody Fourth” Ward, fired by
some old story, probably, of his grandfath
er’s, conceived the idea of a rare old spree
at Sheepslicad Bay. Some fifty hobblede
hoys of the hoodlum persuasion, with live
corresponding females, constituted tliem-
si Ives.into a “Chowder Club” and sallied
forth with a huge stage drawn by ten
horses and a wagon laden with kegs of bier
and demijohns containing something strong
er. Equipped with fish horns, clubs, pis
tols and the choicest vocabulary of foul lan
guage, they made day hideous wherever
they went, and, at their destination, after
blacking each other’s eyes and otherwise
disporting themselves all day, they wound
up bv stealing a clam dealer’s clams and
halt killing the clan' dealer for the few re
marks he made. Then Hie villagers rosoin
their wrath and drove the ruffians out,
while two nimble policemen, calling steam
and electricity to their aid, managed to
cause the arrest of tho convivial crew as
they triumphantly and noisily neared the
ferry and hauled them off to duranoo vile.
Thirty-five of them were fined $5 apiece,
a ni 1 were relieved from the alternative of im
prisonment by their weeping sisters, eous-
ine, aunts and other connections of tiie ten
der sex.
The spasmodic virtue of the city officials
has again displayed itself in a crusade on
tho small dealers whose huckstering booths
and barrows have infested the purlieus of
Washington Market. It is certainly a hard
ship to these poor people, most oj whom
have all their lives, been in one way or an
other, connected with the place, and why
they should first bo pitched upon in the zeal
for reform is not easy to understand. Or
perhaps it is too easy to understand. They
were poor and could not pay to be lot alone.
If all the sidewalks of New Y’ork were clear
ed, as well of lumbering packages of met-
chandise as of the skids which obstruct
every few feet of leading downtown thor
oughfares, it would be pleasanter for pedes
trians. Strangers trom other cities or for
eign lands are amazed at the way we Goth
amites put up with street obstructions that
camand ought to be avoided. When traffic

surging to her very feet, as If the eternal
ocean were offering a proper tribute to her
rare, proud beauty.
Her hands were clasped before her, her
arms hanging at their full, graceful length;
her head was slightly drooped; her eyes,
that had been watching the foamed-eapped
waves riding to her feet, were downcast;
her perfect lips were slightly parted, as if
there were thoughts within that must
find exit, only with the breath that floated
so soft!}’ from her mouth.
Hi.-r jetty black dress -grenadine it was—
that showed through its tissuo her marble
white arms aud neck, was unrelieved by
jewel or ribbon; only where the narrow-
lace frill at the throat fastened she had
carelessly pinned a glaring crimson moss
rose-bud; her raven black hair was braided
in a stylish chignon, and on one side of her
forehead several tendrilly curls of flossy
hair laid lovingly.
“Y’ou like it, Miss Evelyn.”
1-fiie started at tho sound of Albert Chaun-
cey’s voice; she thought herself so entirely
alone that for a moment she was surprised
out of her ordinary rare composure; but
only for a moment, for she bowed in the
cool, haughty way she assumed to gentle
men. Hardly assumed, either; it Is unfair
to accuse Muriel Evelyn of so unworthy
a character. But she really was indifferent
to men; and to Albert Chauncey, of all men,
she was most distant, simply because she
truly liked him best. She made it a study
(o disguise her feelings, and she rarely
failed.
Now, after a slight confusion and a pro
voking little blush, because she was so glad
to know he had followed her from the gay
group she had Jolt a long distance down
the sands, Muriel bowed and then looked
out on the grand expanse of waters again.
“\es, I do like it,” siio said presently in
a low solemn tone. “If I were a man I
would five on the ocean.”
“Then you are not afraid?”
“Afraid!”
She repeated the word with scornful em
phasis.
Chauncey smiled, looking her full in the
eyes, and as he gazed the smile gave piace
to a wistful look that shadowed Ills own
line eyes.
“I know you are brave physically and
morally, because I know you would not
shrink from a life you knew was less lux
urious than your presnt one. I am going to
pray you to share mine. Do you know how
deeply I love you Miss Evelyn?”
His handsome face was pale with sup
pressed pleading passion. His eyes met
her own, so bravely, so proudly; he spoke
so deliberately, so honestly and then wait
ed an answer.
She did not move away from him or at
tempt to speak. She seemed mute with
perfect astonishment that Chauncey had
asked her to marry him.
Like a lightning flash the consciousness
occurred to her that in cheating him of the
love he had asked she would only defraud
herself. For whether she actually knew
she was every whit his very own or not,
there was a dumb delight somewhere in
her soul because lie loved her—this poor,
proud man—this “nature’s nobleman.” But
the inbred hauteur of the Evelyns asserted
itself. And in the compression of her small,
proud mouth, in the involuntary turn she
gave her shapely head, Albert Chauncey
read what was steeling her heart against
him, and as true, as ardent, as honest a
love as ever lover laid at woman’s feet.
His face was covered with pallor that
almost startled her; then, when a faint up
rising in her heart that softened her pride a
little, he spoke to her again before she had
time to answer him.
“I see I was wrong. You are a coward.
But don’t tell me ‘No;’ Ido not I think could
bear to hear it from your lips.”
His low despairing tone, with an inde
scribable bitterness in it, smote her. She
essayed an answer again, but lie silenced
her.
“I am poor—you a daughter of the Eve
lyns; and yet I could teach you tho sever
est lesson you ever could learn—the lesson
that life only is worth having when crown
ed by devotion such as I can offer you, Miss
Evelyn.”
Chauncey paused a moment and looked
at her till warm blood tinged her face and
then he laid his hand on her beautiful
arm. - .
“Muriel, you do care for me, and you are
ashamed to own ii. let tho time will come
when you will acknowledge it, when you
will be my own, when I”
His lace lighted up with the glory he saw
in store for him. He lifted her hand to his
lips, kissed it almost reverently, bowed,
and walked on along the shore.
And Muriel stood there, wondering if it
were a dream—wondering what strange
fate had brought them both from the me
tropolis, where they might never have met
although they had lived within a stone’s
thri>w of each other—wondering how he had
moved her heart so strangely here by the
grand sea that she so adored.
And then she suddenly smiled. A Hood of
speechless ecstacy, Muriel, heard how
Chauncey, her Albert Chauncey, had work
ed all that night with a strength superhu
man, with a courage as dauntless as grand.
“How I love him, my darling, my dar
ling!” was the quick, passionate cry that
kept welling to the quivering lips that were
only waiting for him to come again to dis-
ernburden themselves forever.
She never doubted that he would come,
and how blissful it would lie when he came.
Ah, when lie came!
Very tenderly they bore him, blackened
and burned as if the fire fiend had branded
him to punish him for the victims he had
cheated it of. And when in stony, tearless
grief Muriel knelt beside him, her hot lips
raining pitifui kisses on his dear, dead face,
so calm, so noble, she knew, in lieu of that
secret lesson lie would have taught her,
she was learning alone, the very first let
ter in a fearful alphabet of anguish that
was graven forever on heart, brain, and
memory, “through fire.”
MILLEDGEVILLE.
A correspondent of the Thomasvllle En
terprise, in an article on upper and middle
Georgia, thus alludes to the old capital:
From Atlanta to the old capital was a
change, but to us by no means an unpleas
ant one. We found Milledgeville by no
means a dead town, and instead of decay
we saw here two marked evidences of grow
ing prosperity. Their new hotel was near
ly finished, and handsome built stores had
superceded the old wooden buildings of for
mer days. While it was pleasant and grat
ifying i.o see the evidences of thrift and
growth in the old town, it was saddening
to one to whom its homes and people were
once so laniiliar, to find so few familiar
faees on its streets and to know that
the names of a large majority of those
who were the friends of his boyhood
and yuinii were to be found reeorded
in its beautiful old cemetery. To the friends
whom we visited and the other old friends
we met, we are indebted for much kindness,
and our visit, though brief, is one whose
memory will bo cherished. We found the
walls and buildings of the old penitentiary
were being rapidly torn down to be remov
ed to Midway and converted into additional
buildings for the Lunatic Asylum. This
Institute is a noble charity, and its exten
sive buildings and beautiful grounds, with
its careful aud kind management of the
many unfortunates kept there, made us
feel that it was an honor to our native
State and well deserves its fostering care.
It now has nearly 800 patients and yet there
is a constant demand for room for more sad
sufferers. jj_

ECONOMISTS I.Y THE SENATE.
Senator McCreary, of Kentucky, on a sal
ary of $5,000 a year, saved over §4,000 and
during six years in the senate laid by $25,-
000. It is reported of him that he sat up
once upon a time playing poker at a ten
cent limit. In tho morning some friend
asked him how he came out. “Come out,”
said he, “why, I lost fifty cents quicker than
hell could scortch a feather.” Senator
Davis, although a millionaire, is a little
close in his personal expenses. During tho
sittingjof the senate it is his habit to go to
Aunt Mary, tho pie woman in the corridor,
for his lunch. Laying 4iis hand on a plate
of cakes or apples, he asks: “How much
are these?” Two cents. “And those?” lay
ing his hand on another plate. “Throe
cents.” “Oh, Mary, you’re too high, too
high ! Then he will buy a piece of pie and
a glass of milk and standing at the counter
(he weighs three hundred and eighty
pounds) he eats His lunch with tranquility.

THE PRICE OF A LEG.
A widow, whose husband was killed in a
railroad accident, sued the company and
recovered $5,000 damages. A man who lost
his leg in the same accident, sues in the
same court and gets §15,000. The widow
waylays the J udge and charges him with
unjust discrimination in valuing a leg at
three times as much as a whole man. ‘That
is not the point, my dear madam,’ says
tho urbane Judge. ‘Even with §15,000 the
man cannot buy a leg as good as the one
he lost. But a woman as young as you are,
and with $5,000, can have no difficulty in
getting a new husband.’ The widow retires
satisfied.”—Pittsburg Commercial.

The people at large now know how tho
Treasurer of Georgia managed to live hand

$6,000 perquisites that the law says he shall

much additiun, division, substruction and

Savannah Recorder.
[Free Press.]
When Gov. Colquitt was elected chief
magistrate of the State, we earnestly hop
ed that his administration would be suc
cessful. We believed that he was honest
and that his intentions were good; but the
history of his administration has been a
succession of mistakes. “Weak-minded,
good natured, vascillating of purpose,”
he has allowed and permitted the grossest
imposition udoii the state. He has paid out
to “state pets” thousands of dollars with
out consulting the legislature. He lias al
lowed a “toll gate” to be established at the
door of the executive office. His vaseilla-
tlon permitted a subordinate clerk in one of
the departments of the state to extort from
the Atlanta rolling mill eight thousand dol
lars to secure his signature to the North
eastern railroad bonds. Aud, yet, Gov.
Colquitt, in his weakness, his good nature
and his vascillation has never condemned
the act nor has the legislature had the
manhood to investigate it.
[Atlanta Dispatch.]
A. B. Cornell, who has been nominated
for Governor of New York by the Republi
cans of that State, lias long been known as
an unscrupulous and intriguing politician.
Many Republicans will have great difficul
ty in supporting him. It will be remem
bered that he was Conkling’s man for one
of tho chief Federal offices in New York
city (the collectorship, we believe) and was a
bone of contention between Conkling and
the Hayes administration—Conkling having
defeated the administration nominee for
the office when tiie Senate was Republican,
but being himself afterwards, defeated
when the Senate became Democratic. Cor
nell, like Conkling, is especially inimical to
Sherman. It was rumored a few days ago
that his friends had made a bargain with
the Tammany leaders by which a large
portion of that trading Democratic faction
would support Cornell if nominated, and
his nomination gives plausibility to the ru
mor because the Republicans would hardly
have made choice of a man so unpopular
with a ixirtiqn of their own party if they
did not expect to gain some compensating
acquisition from another quarter.

THE CORAL ISLAND.-Aiken.
A tall ship from Europe, crossing tho
Indian Ocean to China or New Holland, will
sometimes strike suddenly upon a sunken
reck- that is, a rock which does not rise to
sight above the water—in a place where, a
few years before, no rook was to be found.
What are these new rocks, do you suppose,
or how are then produced? Wonderful to
tell! they are tho work of insects—formed
by them out of matter collected in tlieir
own bodies, in the same manner as the spi
der forms its web, or the bee its comb, or
the snail its shell. But tho coral insects
are more extraordinary creatures than
these. They are of a great variety of
shapes and sizes; the commonest is in the
form of a star, with arms, or feelers, from
four to six inches long, which it moves
nimbly around in search of food. Others
are sluggish creatures, of tho size and
shape of a linger, and of a dark color.
Some are as fine as a thread, and several
feet long, sometimes blue and sometimes
yellow; others look like snails, others like
very little lobsters. When they have built
up any part of their sea-castle so high that
it rises above tho water at low tide, it ap
pears, when dry, to be a. firm and solid
rock, very hard and rough; but as soon as
ever the tide rises again, and the waves be
gin to wash over it, the insects are seen
thrusting out their bodies from thousands
of little holes which were before invisible,
and in a short time the whole rock appears
to be alive with their countless multitudes.
And so the rock goes on, rising taller and
taller, in shape like a cauliflower, till the
water cannot reach its top, even at high
tide. Then they can build it up no further,
for they must be within reach of the water
to get their food: and when the insects die,
it becomes a bare, dead rock, with neither
plant nor any living thing upon it.
But presently the sea, in some great tem
pest, will throw over it some sea-weeds,
and sand, and bones, and dead fishes, and
perhaps the wreck of some lost ship, which
its waters iiave overwhelmed; and some
fruits, and berries and seeds will be mixed
in the heap. All these things decaying to
gether, will make a thin covering of mould,
in which some of tho seeds will spring up.
Then a cocoa-nut will float to it from some
neighboring shore, and it will take root,
and thrive, and multiply; for this plant
loves to grow in reach of salt water. When
the cocoa-palms begin to wave their heads
invitingly, birds will stretch their wings
thither: the parrot and the dove will perch
there, and within their bodies they will
convey the seeds of other plants on which
they feed; and when these spring up,
doves and parrots will build their nests,
and make it their dwelling. Sea-birds will
come there too, and lay their eggs: and in
sects will be wafted thither by tempestu
ous winds, and insect-eating birds will fol
low them; and thus it will become a little
green islet, all alive and gay with beautiful
winged creatures; but no beast can set his
foot upon it, and even man, should he hap
pen to discover it, will not take possession;
for one things it wants—a fountain of fresh
water. A little rain will lodge in the hol
lows of the rock, enough for the birds, but
men and cattle must have a running spring.

Before the war, lived in a village in Ken

lently in love with Miss V. A., the daugh

chant. Now, Miss V. was quite as hand
some a woman as Jake was a man. Jake
had no stamps, but the father of Miss V.
had a first class bank account. The old
man watched the progress ot their mutual
attachment, and when he thought it had
proceeded far enough, he told Jake not to
eome to his house any more, and also told
Miss V. not to receive his visits, but every
one knows the consequences of such inter
diction.
One day, as Jake was passing the house,
he saw Miss V. in the hall, and, as he knew
the old gentleman did not come home until
dark, he concluded to go in aud talk to his
girl a little. The interesting conversation
had terminated, and Jake was turning to
depart, when, to his consternation, he met
the old man entering the door.
Jake described to some of the boys the
scene that ensued in about these words:

Abdool-Radir, a Persian boy, the son of a
widow, desired leave of his mother to take
a journey to Bagdat to seek his fortune;
she wept at the thoughts of the parting;
then taking out forty of the gold coins
called dinars, she gave them to him, tell
ing him that was the whole of his inheri

never to Ml a lie; then she bade him fare
well.
The boy set out upon his journey. On
the road, the party with which he traveled
was suddenly attacked by a great troop of
robbers. One of them asked Abdool-Radir,
what money he had got. “Forty dinars,”
he answered, “are sewed up in my gar

and laughed. Another asked .him the same
question, and he made the same reply.
When they bpgan to divide the plunder
among them, he was called to the chief,
who was standing on an eminence, and he
too asked him what ho had got. “I have
told two of your men already.” said lie,
“that I have forty dinars carefully sewed

ordered the clothes to be ripped up, and
