how it was. It happened when 1 was
young, about 20. I was going in the

in those davs every hour between Boston
and Cambridge, for it was long beiore tbe
tnneol the omulbus and horse-car. Of
course, 1 mean I dreamed i was in the
coach. It was, as all dreams are, at once
sirange and prosaic. Soon after 1 got
outside the coach and we had started, I
suddenly became aware that Cnrist, was
seated outside with tbe driver! My first
impulse was to touch Him; so 1 leaned
out and rested my hand on Hi* garments

upon Him as be walked to and fro. There
were ordinary, common people about and
toe natural prosaic actions of such a place
going on. 1 was aware that no one but
myself saw that strange being in oriental
garments, moving with stately steps back
ward and forward in trout of the busy
little crowd wbicn assembles at a half
way house when a stage arrives. But
that did not seem strange to me, nor was
1 surprised at his dress, so unlike any
thing I had ever looked on, tor at that
time I was not familiar with the Arab
costume; 1 simply thought, “There is
Christ!’ and every sense in my body was
alive. *
“Then came tbe bustle of starting, ana
then the whole dream ended—the vision
disappeared. For years aucl years that
appearance has haunted me, and over and
again 1 have tried to give form and shape
to that (ace and person, which 1 saw as
plainly as l see you now,”
No wonder, with the vivid memory of
that marvelous vision, our celebrated
soulptor has been able to give us each a
noble semblance of the Divine Master.
A SCENE AT THE VATICAN.

Rome, March 9.—lt is possible that
I some accounts, and very probably exag-
I gerated, have reached Amerioa of the
B painlui scene that occurred in the Sistine
Lcbapel, on the morning after the anniver
sary mass. This is the story as I satv it

Ktion: There has been in Rome, for some
■weeks past, an Englishwoman of good
■family named Miss Loughlin. She is not
■cra/.y, but her mind is feeble on some
■minis. Unfortunately, she obtained a
Bicket of admission to the mass, and, it is
■aid, there has been some question as to
■ who would give a ticket to one so emi
■ently unlit to reoeivo It. At all events,
■phe was not in the chapel half an
■hour beiore there was some trou*
■fie. Ladies are all provided

provided tor tho Ambassadors, etc.
■•lihs Loughlin concluded she wanted a
*e*t, and, selecting the most de
sirable chair, she made her way through
■ tie crowd and demanded It of the ladv
■occupying it. She was an English priu
■ess, she said, and her ticket called for
■thai particular chair. Naturally, the
r proper owner of the chair declined to va
cate; and it must be confessed, a noisy
discussion followed. The discussion, to
the horror of all w " 0 w llußßsod it, ended

LITTLE MILLIONAIRE EDITORS.
The Lively Amateur Paper of the
Vanderbilt lirolliers.
From the Mem York Journal.
The editors of tbe Comet, who wield the
pen of public opinion, the paate-pot and
the soissors with such dexterity, are dif
ferent from most of the fraternity in tbe
city, inasmuch as they work for love ami
not for wealth. The editors of this small
but bright and readable monthly are the
lour sous of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, and their sanctum, printing
establishment and mailing department
are all on the top floor of tbe parental
mansion at No. 1 West Fifty-seventh
street.
When a young man with a spring poem
calls on the caitor-ln-cblef, he presses the
electric button at the side ot the big oaken
and carved door, is ushered into a marble
hallway, asktd to be seated, and sinks
into an arm-ohair of garnet plush stuffed
with eider down, and Is then gently con
ducted up-slafrs past costly tapestries,
velvet and silken portieres, rare paint
ings, marble statues, and ushered into
the presence of a handsome fad of six
teen, who most kindly receives tLie poem.
If it does not meet with his lavor, he
makes the poet happy and strong by treat
ing him to iced champagne or claret
punch and sponge cake, and then kiudly
telling him that tbe poem is to too deep anil
learned, too beautiful for the present age,
returns it.
“The Vanderbilt Bros.” are the editors,
proprietors and publishers of the Comet.
Subscription for all numbers from Decem
ber to May, back numberssuppled, is onlv
25c.; single copies, sc. The paper has
four pages, and is printed in clear, large
type. A thrilling serial called “A
Narrow Escape” is begun in tbe March
cumber. One of the best editorials is as
follows:
“‘The so-called “Stars and Stripes Uni
form Page System” is (In our mind) the
most absurd affair that has agitated the
minds ol amateur editors for a long time.
The plan is for all papers to be printed
with tbe same size pages, so that a hound
volume may be issued yearly. Haw will
it be possible for tbe smaller papers—
many ot whioh are printed by tbe editors
—to increase their size? And, on the other
hand, will the larger papers humble them
selves ?”
The editors also thank the Wlsoonsin
Boys for telling them an excellent, plan
for filing exchanges, and feelingly re
mark:
“Our old way of dumping them all In a
drawer was very unsatisfactory.”
Tne opening editorial is on tbe proba
bility ol war between France and Ger
many. Tbe Comet is a paper of principle,
tor it says in bold italics:

AFTER FIVE YEARS.
The Strange Recovery of an Opal
Ring that Was Dost in London.
From the Philadelphia -Yeics.
Five years ago Mrs, Laura Joyce Bsll,
now playing in “Kuddygore” at Me-
Caull’s, lost, while on a visit to England,
a valuable opal ring that was only re
covered by her husband, Digby Hell, on
Saturday last. The ring was originally
tbe gilt of Air. Bell, and the opal netting
was made so as to permit it being opened.
When raised it disclosed a small picture
ot the donor. When Mrs. Bell lost it she
offered a liberal reward.
On Saturday morning Mr. Bell went to
the box office of the theatre to obtain his
mail, Mr. Southwell was handing a gen
tleman two seats tor the matinee perform
ance and Mr. Bell noticed when the
stranger raised his hand that he wore an
opal ring. It required no second glance
at. the peculiar work surrounding the set
ting to convince the comedian that it was
the lost ring.
He followed tha gentleman to the La
fayette Hotel and there introduced him
self with a reottul ofthe foregoing facts.
The stranger, who proved to be a well
known lawyer of London, upon leurning
the truth, was much surprised when Air.
Bell raised the stone and disclosed a du
ptioale ol bis own feuturos. Air. Bell
offered his check for the full value of the
trinket lor its return, but the stranger re
fused it, stating that he had found it in
Hyde Park, anil as he nad worn it for five
years he was glad to retura it to its
proper custodian.
TVortls Without Rhymes.
From the I Vaehtnuton Poet.
W. 8. Gilbert, the comic opera libret
tist, lias found the long-desired rhyme for
“stiver” in “chilver,” a word in use at
British sales ot farm stock to denote a
speoies of sheep. He does not reveal the
rhyme whioh he has discovered lor
“month,” hut savs it is not Thackeray’s
“oneiyoutb.” “While i am on the sub
ject ot rhymes,” be adds, “1 should like
to suggest that anv inventor who is in
need Of a aame for his inventiou would
oonter a boon on all rhymesters, and at
the same time insure himself many
gratuitous advertisements. If ho were to
Hclect a word that rhymes on one of tbe
mauy words in common use that have
very few rhymes or none stall. Any in.
ventlon called, for Instance, a Lorrange,
would surely be referred lo wbeuever a
poet wished to rhyme to ‘orange.’ A few
more mords rhyming to'Mnve’ are greatly
wanted. All who have dabbled in amatory
verse must have telt Ibis necessity. •Re
venge’and ‘avenge’ have uo rhyme but
•penge’ and ‘Stonehenge;’ ‘coil’ has no
rhyme atail. ‘rttarve’ has no rhyme ex
cept (Oh irony !) ‘carve.’ ‘Bcarf’ has no
rhyme, though i fully expect to be told
that ‘laugh’ and ball’ and ‘calf are ad
missible—which they certainly are not.
•Scalp’ lias no rhyme but ‘Alp.’ ‘False’
bas no rhyme—‘valse’ is near it, but tbe
French accent disqualifies it. ‘Waltz’ Is
also near it, but the ‘t’ spoils It. ‘Babe’
bas no rhyme but ‘astrolabe’—certain
proper namvs excepted. ‘Gamboge’ has
no rhyme but ‘rouge.’ ’Tube,’ would be
rbyineleee save for ‘cube’ and ‘lnjube.’
•Fague’ has no rhyme at all. ‘Gulf*
rhymes with no Englisn word; we have to
fall back on ‘Cardinal Padulpb’ and ‘Ulf,’
tbe nnnstrel. ‘Azimuth’ bas only‘doth.’
‘Culm’ and ‘ousp’ have no English
rhymes.”

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1887.
A 11IG STREET FIGHT
Which Convul set! St. Augustino in
l ho Olden Days.
Freni the Jacksonville { Flo .) Tit e*- Union.
Returning from St. Augustine on the
train Friday evening Maj. George R.
Fairbanks, of Fernandina, who grew up
with Gen. Loring in St. Augustine, and
resided there many years, told the story
of what he said was "the biggest street
fight ever seen in Florida.” The parties
to the affray were the three Luring
brothers, William, Charles aucl Fred,
with Albert A. Nunez, who had married
their sister, and two Scotch brothers
named McKay,
The McKays were surveyors, and Nu
nez was connected with the Surveyor
General’s office. A dispute between
Nunez and the McKays had arisen over
the looatlon of a piece of property, and
word was brought to Nunez that the
Scotchmen had made some very deroga
tory remarks about him. Rep >rlng the
fact to bU brothers-in-law, who were
very daring men, they determined to
chastise the McKays on s!g it, and so an
nounced. This announcem nt was con
vuyed to the McKay brothers who were
very determined men, and for several
days the whole town was on the qui vive
over tho expected collision. It is diffi
cult tor men to avoid one another, even If
they desire, in so suiail a place as St. Au
gustine was in thus days, aud the meet
ing was not long postponed.
The three brothers. Lining and Mr.
Nunez were standing in one of the stores
when they saw the McKay brothers ap
proaching. Sallying forth in a group,
hip-pocket artillery was promptly uu
liiubered on both sides and the battle be
gan. William W. Luring was slightly
wounded in the neck, but the pistols
were exhausted beiore any parties lar
damage was done on eitnerside. Besides
their pistols lhe McKay brothers had
prepared tnemselves with two long
knives, and as soon as the pistols bad
been emptied they plunged into the
midst of their assailants and began to
slash right and left. Nunez had his
stomach ripped open, but being a very
fat man no vital part was reached.
William Loring took reluge
in tbe post office, and the other Lorings
in shops near bv. Tbe McKays emerged
from the conflict unhurt. One of the
old Spanish residents lost his head so
completely in the excitement that he
ran toward the combatants, and seeing
Nunez lying on the sidewalk began
pounding him over the head with his
stick, under the Impression apparently
that that was the best way to put an etui
to the battle.
This occurred about the year 1816, and
few events during that period of tbe city 's
history excited more interest.
Charles Loring was subsequently killed
in a New York hotel by a New Orleans
man uamed Grahatn. He was stopping
at tbe hotel with his wife, who being an
invalid, was somewhat nervous. On the
evening of the tragedy the man Graham
returned to the hotel drunk, and was
making himself offensively noisy in the
hallway adjacent to the rooms of tbe
Lorings. Mr, J.oring’s wife requested
him to go out aud put a stop to tbe dis
turbance, and he attempted to do
so. Graham being drunk took
umbrage at Loring’s remon
strances. and in tne quarrel
which ensued one of them drew a blade
from a sword-cane, and Loring was run
through the body and fata’ly wounded.
Graham was tried, convicted of man
slaughter and sent to Sine Sing for five
years, aud within a year of bis release
was killed in a barroom brawl in New
Orleans.
BISHOP QUINTA HD's STORY.
Bishop Quintard also told an amusing
story of Gen. Loring. During his army
days be was a profuse and picturesque
swearer, and bis friends had often remon
strated with him in regard to his In
dulgence ir. tbe habit. On one occasion
during tbe civil war, wnye iving very ill,
he turned bis eyes to a friend who was
sitting by bis bed and said:
‘•Don’t you think I’m doing better?”
‘‘Yes,” said bis friend, “you undoubt,
etlly are. Your skin is moist and your
eyes are clearer, and 1 am sure you’re im
proving fast.”
“No, uo.” said Loring, “that isn’t what
I mean. Don’t you think I’m doing better
in tho matter of swearing?”
His friend admitted that he bad cer
tainly swore less while lying desperately
HI, and the General seemed much en
couraged.
FIiOHIDA OPIUM.
Growing Poppy anil Manufacturing
Opium on ludiau Itiver.
From the Ti'vtriVe Star.
We tane pleasure in welcoming to the
river Dr. w". W. Winthrop, of St. Paul,
Minn. This gentleman has traveled
widely aud is a keen observer oi wuat he
met, with iu his travels. His primary ob
ject in coming to this State is to encour
age the growth of the poppy and the
mauufacturo of opium. His experience
in this branch of production is of fiiteon
years standing and he has grown the
poppy successfully in the East Indies,
Persia, Germany, Franco and in the Le
vant, whilst on the American continent
ne has experimented in Massachusetts,
New York, Illinois, lowa, Minnesota,
Dakota and Florida. The plant grows
everywhere, but best of all in Florida,
pi-educing larger bulbs and capsules. The
difficulty oi hithert i producing opium in
ttie United States suceessiully has been
the high wages paid to lab->i\ Dr. Win
throp has Invented a plan, however, by
which opium can be produced here better
and cheaper ttiHii in India, wuero the
average wages iuo 10 cents per day and
the cultivation is so perfect by his method
that lti plants can be made to produce an
ounoM ol opium. The gentleman assures
ue tliut, at tho present price ot the drug,
a net revenue of $1,01)0 p r acre is an ex
ceedingly moderate estimate. Every
orange grove can be laid out between tue
trees with this plant aud the demand for
tne same at good prices is illimitable. An
English syndicate of capitalists is goiug
into the cultivation of the poppy largely
on Indian river, and Dr. Winthrop is
prospecting anil perfecting tue arrange
ments of the company. The poppy will
grow and ripen every month in toe year,
and thus, doubtless, another large source
of wealth will shortly be
river.
Foments ol a Confederate Musket.
hrom the Cone rd Monitor.
Charles Eolsoni. of lioscaweii, traded
roeently with ,J. Edwin Gare, the gun.
smith, or this city, lor two old army mus
kets. whioh were called in the trade
worth about $1 each. Folsom took the
muskets home and offered to give one ol
tnem to a neighbor lor a day’s work.
Tho night before he was to get rid of it
he sot about fixing it up a little, in the
course of which he delected a rattle
about the stock. In seek in g for the
cause oi the nolee be removed the lock,
then the barrel, and finally the strip of
iron nil the butt Of the stock. This dis
closed the secret. The butt bad been
neatly hollowed out, making a good,
sized treasure box. In it were six boo
silver coins, three 2Sc ones, two S2O bills
ot Confederate money, a musket ball,
and a letter.
The latter was written by the wifo ol a
Confederate soldier to her husband, and
desoribed a visit by tbe Yankees a short
time beiore, and tbe capture by them of
her father. Its sentiments wers evidently
those of the women of the Confederacy.
It spoke of returning the money he had
sent her, as she could do Aotblag with it,
and this was doubtless the money found
with the letter.
The musket was purohased with a let
ef otbsrs.and bad evidently been captured
after Ita bearer bad fallea iu battle.
