Seventeen idsome and industrious young u assembled. They came not only nake lmv. but also to make love the fair Annette. In three hours y had filled the father’s barns with newly dried grass, and their hearts li love.

The father of the lovely, blushing, and withal happy prize (for she well knew 7 who would win) with three oth er patriarchal villagers were the judges appointed to decide upon the claims of the several competitors. The last time Carroll tried his skill in this ex ercise, he ‘cleared’ to use the leaper’s phraseology, twenty-one feet and one inch. The signal was given and by lot the young men stepped into the arena. “Edward Grayson, seventeen feet,” cried one of the judges. The youth had done his utmost. He was a pale, intellectual student. But what had intellect to do in an arena? Without a look at the maiden he left the ground. “Dick Boulden, nineteen feet.” Dick -with a laugh turned away, and replaced his coat. “Harry Preston, nineteen feet and three inches.” “Well done, Harry Preston,” shouted the spectators, “you have tried hard for the acres and homestead.” Harry also laughed and swore he only “jumped forthe fun of the thing.” Harry was a rattlebrained fellow 7 , but never thought of matrimony. He loved to walk and talk, and laugh and romp with Annette, but sober mar riage never came into his head. “He only jumped for the fun of the thing.” He not would have said so, if he was sure of w’inning. “Charley Simms, fifteen feet and a half.” “Hurrah for Charley! Charley’ll win !” said the crowd good humoredly. Charley Simms was the cleverest fel low in the world. His mother had ad vised him to stay at home, and told him if he ever won a. wife, she would fall in love with his good temper rather than his legs. Charley howev er made a trial of the latter capabili ties and lost. Many refused to enter the lists altogether. Others made the trial, and only one of the leapers had yet cleared twenty feet. “Now,” cried the villagers, “let’s see Henry Carroll. He ought to beat this,” and every one appeared, as they called to mind the mutual love of the last competitor and the sweet Annette, as if they heartily wished his success. Henry stepped to his post with a firm tread. His eye glanced with con fidence around upon the face of An nette, as if to catch therefrom that spirit and assurance which the occa sion calls for. Returning the encour aging glance with which she met his own, with a proud smile upon his lip, he bounded forward. “Twenty-one feet and a half!” shout ed the multitude, repeating the an nouncement of one of the judges, “twenty-one feet and a half. Harry Carroli—Annette aud Harry.” Hands, caps, and handkerchiefs waved over the heads of the spectators, and the eyes of the delighted Annette spark led with joy. When Harry Carroll moved to his station to strive for the prize, a tall gentlemanly man in a military un dress frock coat, who had rode up to the inn,dismounted and joined the spec tators unperceived, stepped sudden ly forward, and, with a knowdng eye, measured deliberately the space ac complished by the last leaper. He was a stranger in the village. His handsome face and easy address at tracted the eyes of the village maid ens, and his manly and sinewy frame, in which symmetry and strength were happily united, called forth the admi ration of the young men. “Mayhap, sir stranger, you think you can beat that,”said one of the by standers, remarking the manner in which the eye of the stranger scanned the arena. “If you can leap beyond Harry Carroll, you’ll beat tjie best man in the colonies.” The truth of this observation was assented to by a general murmur. “Is it for mere amusement you are pursuing this pastime ?” inquired the youthful stranger, “or is there a prize for the winner?” “Annette, the loveliest and wealthi est of our village maidens, is the re ward of the victor," cried one of the judges. “Are the lists open to all?” “All young sir!” replied the father of Annette, with interest, his youthful ardor rising as he surveyed the pro portions of the straight limbed young stranger. “She is the bride of him who outleaps Henry Carroll; if you will try von are free , to do so. But let me tell you, Harry Carroll has no equal in Virginia. Here is my daugh ter, sir, look at her and make your trial.” The young officer glanced upon the trembling maiden about to be offered upon the altar of her father’s uncon querable monomania with an admir ing eye. The poor girl looked at Har ry, who stood near with a troubled brow 7 and angry eye, and then cast upon the new 7 competitor an implor ing glance.

The announcement was repeated with surprise by the spectators, who crow 7 ded around the victor, filling the air with congratu lations, not unmingled, however, with Ion cl murmurs from those who were more nearly interested in the happj- i>ehs of the lovers. • The old man approached, arid grasp ing his hand exultiiigly, called him his son,* and said he fe'lt prouder of Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent.

You are the victor, and as such, with the permission of this worthy assem bly, receive from my hand the prize you have so well and honorably won.’ The youth sprang forward and grasped his hand with gratitude, and the next moment Annette was weep ing from pure joy upon his should ers. The welkin rung with the accli mations of the de^ghted villagers, and amid the temporary excitement produced by this act, the stranger withdrew 7 from the crowd, mounted his horse and spurred at a brisk trot through the village. That night Henry and Annette were married, and the health of the noble hearted stranger was drunk in over flowing bumpers of rustic beverage. In the process of time there were bom unto the married pair sons and daughters, and Henry Carroll became Col. Henry Carroll, of the Revolu tionary army. \ v One evening having just returned home after a hard campaign, he .was sitting with his family on the gallery of his handsome country home, when an advance courier rode up and an nounced the approach of General Washington and suite, informing that he should crave his hospitality, for the night. The necessary directions were given in reference to the nQn§^- hold preparations, and Colonel .Car roll ordered his horse, rode forward to meet and escort to his house the dis tinguished guest, whom he had never seen, although serving in the same widelv extended army. That evening at the table, Annette, now become the dignified, matronly and handsome Mrs. Carroll, could not keep her eyes from the face of the il lustrious visitor. Every moment or two she would steal a glance at his commanding features, half assuredly shake her head and look again, to be still puzzled. Her absence of mind and embarressment at length became evident to her husband who inquired affectionately if she was ill. “I suspect Colonel,” said the Gen eral, who had been sometime, with a ouiet, meaning smile, observing the lady’s curious and puzzled survey of his features, “that Mrs. Carroll thinks she recognizes in me an old acquaint ance.” And he smiled with a mysteri ous air as he gazed upon both alter nately. The Colonel started, and a faint memory of the past seemed to be revived, as be gazed, while the la dy rose impulsively from her chair, bending eagerlv forward over the tea urn, with clasped hands, and an eye of intense eager inquiry fixed fully upon him, stood for a moment with her iips parted as if she would speak. “Par don me my dear madam—pardon me Colonel, I* must put an end to this scene. I have become, by dint of camp fare and hard usage, took un wieldy to leap again, twenty-two feet and one inch even for so fair a bride as I wot of." The recognition, with the surprise, delight and happiness that followed, are' left to the imagination of the reader. General Washington was in deed the handsome young “leaper, still traditionary.—and whose claim to substantial bona fide flesh and blood, was stoutly contested by the village story tellers until the happy denouement which took place at the hospitable mansion of Col. Carroll.

On the contrary all of these affairs are dismal farces. No-sensations have been eyolved from the Telephone bus iness, and public interest in it is rap idly subsiding. Hon. Casey Young has contradicted the imputations against the Attorney-General, and in seeking letters for publication as tes timony, out of 212, five were from Mr. Garland, none of which bear on the subject under investigation. Gen. Black is well fortified with see any other outcome of the Repub lican situation than a surrender. There is a desire on the part of most of the Senators who have followed Mr. Ed munds’ lead to drop the contest as soon as possible and to say as little as possi ble about it. The debate has involved so many Senatorsjin contradictions and inconsistencies that it has clearly strengthened the President in his po sition. It has also served to direct attention to the evils of secret ses sions so intently that their very exis tence is strongly threatened. The weakest point of the Republi can position is that they have called for this information to be used in Star Chamber sessions. If the Senate con sidered the President’s appointment in open session, there w 7 ould be much more excuse for these attacks upon him for his secrecy. Senator Edmunds is sorely cut by the revolt of the Finance Committee. Its resolve to report the nominations of Internal Revenue Collectors refer red to it in spite of the caucus, was a square back down from the republi can position. And t&e present week is likely to witness similar action on the part of the Indian Affairs Commit tee, and other Committees which are weary of the useless contest. There was never any genuineness or cohesioqiii the movement, and it re- quired liuie political keenness to see what would certainly happen. The obstruction was a political blunder, and there was so little interest in it that the public did not even charge its mind with the tax of keeping up with the debate. The indigna tion "which was pumped up was false and labored, and there has been no time when the Republican Sena tors in a body have not regretted the course into which they were dragoon ed by the rasping selfishness from Vermont. As an experimental issue it has been a dismal failure, and it is only astonishing that the pretense.was kept up as long as it was. The bill to pension the widow of General Hancock has been before the House, and was eloquently supported by Representative Bingham of Penn sylvania, The penwon w 7 ill be $2,000 a* year. There are many members who would lie glad to make it $5,000, but the widows of G«n. Thomas and Admiral Farragut receive $2,000. and precedents in sucii matters are difficult to overcome. — TEE TECHNOLOGICAL SCHOOL. Governor McDaniel Appoints the Com mission Which Will Meet Soon. From the Atlanta Constitution, 2-3d. Yesterday Governor McDaniel ap pointed the commissioners for the technological school. The following gentlemen were named as the board: E. R. Hodgson, of Athens; S. M. In man, of Atlanta: O. S. Porter, of New- nan: N. E. Harris, of Macon, and Columbus Heard, of Greene county. The Governor will call the board to gether at once for the purpose of or- aeeame xmnusuuic g an j za tion. After the organization whose appearance and disappearance first duty of the board will be to in the native village of the lo\ ers. is U p 0 n the location of the school r.+:n and whose claim technology. The question of loca tion is left with the board under this provisio—that that city pr town shall be selected which, in the opinion of the board offers the best inducements. The health and general accessibiliity of the place is to be considered in con nection with the amount of money offered or other inducements held out. Any city or town or any non-sectarian institution of learning may have its claims considered. The appropriation will not be avail able until the first of January. 1887, but it is probable that the board w 7 ill, at an early meeting establish the terms of competition so that each city in terested may know exactly what it has to do and may have time to get its people together and arrange such offer as can be placed before the board later in the summer. It is pos sible the board will decide upon the location during the* summer or early in the fall so that the state appropria tion can be used as soon as it becomes available. x OUR AUGUSTA LETTER. Editors Unioh & Recorder : Richmond is preparing for the fight for prohibition. The requisite num ber of voters have already signed a petition calling for an election. This petition is already in the hands of the Ordinary, who for the present is with holding his “order of election,” at the request of the Prohibitionists. They will not open the campaign un til the crops are laid by, knowing that an election of any kind is demor alizing to farm labor. The leaders on the side of the Prohibitionists will be Rev. Warren Candler, and Judge M. P. Foster, both young, brainy, and eloquent. The Antis are already organized, and are preparing for a desperate struggle. When the campaign opens, I will send you weekly accounts from the field of battle. Everything is quiet in political cir cles. In fact there is very little to stir the breeze. The friends of the Hon. Patrick Walsh—the noble hearted Irishman— would like to see him Governor, but he is advocating the claims of Ex- Speaker Bacon, and of course, w 7 ill not be untrue to his friend. Robt. E. Pierce, a brilliant young lawyer, will be a candidate next fall for the House of Representatives. Robbe and Cal vin will have opposition, if they run, but they will be hard to beat. No county can boast of better Legislators thaq these favorites of old Richmond. The churches of Augusta are at present holding protracted meetings for the conversion of the impenitent. At the First Baptist, Rev. W. M. Wharton preaches twiee daily to im mense congregations. Mr. Wharton is a very attractive preacher, full of the Spirit of Christ, and intensely earnest in his efforts to save souls. He preaches the Gospel in all its simplici ty and beauty, with great force and eloquence. Many souls have already professed their faith in the Savior, and many more are on the way. Interesting meetings have just clos ed in the 3rd Baptist, 1st Presbyte rian, and 1st Christian churches, and will continue in the 3rd Christian church during the present week. A. sensational dispatch in regard to the Chinese of Augusta appeared not long ago in the columns of the Atlan ta Constitution. There is no founda tion whatever for such assertions. One or two merchants whose stores are in proximity to those of the Chi namen may wish to deprive them of some privileges, but in general, no dis satisfaction exists. On the other hand there are many who feel kindly toward the poor benighted heathen in out midst, anti are laboring for their welfare. Mrs. A. Smith Irvine, Mrs. W. M. Jordan and other ladies have organized a Sunday School for the Celestials, ana are striving to teach them the truths of the Gospel. The school numbers about 25. It is a beautiful sight to see the almond-eyed Celestial sitting by the faithful teach er, eagerly drinking in the saving truths of the Book Divine. No dan ger of a Chinese massacre in Augusta. Our literary folks are anticipating much enjoyment in the intellectual feast about to be spread by the great I)r. Lipscomb, who will on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of the present week deliver three lectures for the benefit of the Library. The Doctor, no doubt has something good in store for Augusta. Speaking of the Libra ry reminds me of the great scramble for the Librarian's position, made va cant by the resignation of Mr. Chas. Crocker. There are sixteen appli cants for the position, many ladies be ing among this number. The Direct ors have placed the election in the hands of the subscribers. The weath er just now is glorious. Occasionally the wild March winds sweep the dust along our streets, but the genial sun shine. the budding boughs, and the sweet scented violet remind us that Spring is at our doors. Houghton.

Eugene Beck, whose shocking mur der of his wife and sister-in-law last year, caused so great a sensation, throughout the state, will be tried at Rabun Superior Court for the mur der of the latter.
