are the reasons whieh influenced Anetrie

they suoooeded in taking Niosios, advano*

Anatria. The increasing egitation can
make her sufficiently master of the situa

Rumors of a separate peaoe between

The oounoil to disease the question of

bearing of this news, howerer, must not
be exaggerated. Anatria has no inten

steps in regard to either belligerent*.
Nobody thinks for an instanoe of oooupy-

simply going to mobilize two or three di-

is an extraot from the letter whioh the En

to see :
'For the last five years I have beau
singled out by many of the leaders of the
Republican party in this State as a scape
goat, on whom has been thrown all of the
odinm whioh should have been distribut
ed among moat of these leaders. I have
borne ail, beoauae I lured my party more
than I loved myself. Hereafter my first
duty on earth will be toward myself and
my family, and my first step in tho per
formance of that duty shall be to make
atonement to my State for whatever
errors, shortcomings, or even sins, may
have been apparent In my political career.
Self-defence oan shame no honorable

who have sought to iDjure ns can only be
esteemed as part of a noble nature.”

THE MAGISTBATE WHO EXAMINED IT STILL
LIVING IN MACON, GA. .
I was thinking last night of the dread
ful times we have had for the past three
or four years, of the soarolty of money
and the general stagnation of all depart
ments of business, and I oame to tho
oonolnsion that if there ever was a “time
that tried men’s Boula" it was the present.
My mind wandered beak to the events
whioh ooourred over thirty years ago, and
revived many inoidonts that took plaoe in
the olden time, and among them was
one in whioh a worthy magistrate, an hon
orable citizen now living in Macon, aoted
a prominent part. It was all shout a
bustle. jflr
In those primitive dayx, that heavy and
expensive caudal appendage was consid
ered indispensable to the Cress of the la
dies, aod the larger the ei^E^a more
fashionable. The preaenf^Hgraoeful
style of puff and tie-baoka isnot oompara-
ble to the extent of the cotton works then
supported by the ladies.
There lived, not far distant, a gentle
man who oonduoted a large coitou ware
house and commission business in Mscod,
known as Mr. M. Ha was a very preten
tions man,a zealous member of the ohuroh
who took a leading part in atDglng, pray
ing, exhortiDg and stirriug up the fever of
the sisters of tbe oongregsticL|to inspire
their husbands with pious ardor. He was
held np to tbe rising generation as aa ex
emplar in morals and business qualifica
tions. It was tbe popular belief that he
was seoond to no ene iu usefulness as a
ohuroh member, and when he aud two
other stentorian singers (choirs and organs
were not then tolerated in churches) laid
siege to a sinner and oould not save him,
it was the general oonelnsion that the poor
■inner had no eoul worth saving.
Theootton business was then as pre
carious and apsoulative as now; and un
fortunately Mr. 0. met with heavy Iossob,
and hia look grew from bad to worse, and
every effort to recuperate hia fallen for
tune oeemed to get him deeper in. In his
struggles he oalled upon seme unsuspect
ing friends to endorse his paper that he
might be saved from bankruptcy and ut
ter rain. But In tbe mean time he ool-
leoted large sums of money, and was
scrupulously oareful to pay none ont;
thus perverting the soriptural text, to re
lieve his oonsolence : “that a man who
does not take oare of his own household
fa worse than an infidel.”
To onneeal hia money, he made a willing
aooomplioe of bis wife. She wss n fash
ionable lady, and following the style of
the day, wore a prodigious bustle. The
thought ooourred to her to extraot all tbo
cotton stuffing from it and substitute good
bank billa.
Tbe securities of Mr. C. bad been ren
dered. Among them was one who bad
endorsed for a very large amount, and
snspeoting Mr. C. had money oonoeale d
he quietly used every means to find out
where it was deposited.
The wife of Mr. 0. bad a fine-looking
maid servant, about sixteen years old and
tbe indoreer bribed her with a promise
to pnrohsse and liberate her from slavery
ia she would assist him in finding out
where the monby had been hidden. The
servant oarefully noticed every night be
fore reliring, she wonld plaoo the hnge
bnstle that she wore during tbe day in a
trank, under her bed and waa careful to
look it up. This information was 00m-
muntoated by the servant to tbe indorser,
who rejoioed in the belief that ho had
discovered the oluo to tbe hidden treas
ure.
About that time 0. was in a distant
State, making, aa is usual, under such cir
cumstances, even nnto tbia day, new in
vestments. His absenoe required tbe ser
vant's presenoe more in the oompany of
her mistress.
Tbe indorser made known the faot
abont the trank aud the bustle to tbe
sheriff, who at once engaged to prooeed
with him to the house of tbe family of
O. the next morning.' An arrangement
was made with tbe servant that she shonid
quietly uulook the door of tho bouse, aud
the oue to the room oooupied by her mis
tress.
All arrangements having been consum
mated, the indorsor and sheriff repaired
to the honse at an early hoar in the morn
ing, and by the aid of the servant entered
the room. The indorser pointed out tbe
trunk under the bed to the sheriff, who
made a levy upon it and took it to the
office of a magistrate who now resides in
Maoon.
The trunk was opened aud the hustle
found in it. Tbe magistrate, with bis
penknife, oarefully dissected tbe ourious
oreeent shaped depository, when the bills
began to tumble out. As they were scat
tered and counted in pilos on the magis
trate’s table, they would hare filled a half
bushel measure. The bills were of the
best binks, and of various denominations,
from fives to one hundreds, with a lot of
smaller notes, amounting to over fifty
two thousand dollars.
Tho general verdiot of the people wss
that the bnstle was the moBt valuable one
ever worn by BDy lady.
The endorser by the reoovery of tbe
#52,000 woe relieved from bankruptcy and
enabled to continue his planting inter
ests. He reared a large family hero
and bequeathed to them a handsome es
tate.
The family of tbe D.’s removed to
another State and reared obiidreu who
were highly respeoted ; among them
was a son wto oooupied high position
in his profession, in the late war and in
politios.
The indorser proved true to bis con
tract with the servant girl. She was sold
at pnblio sale. Her disoovery of the fa
mous bustle was generally known. She
beoame a favorite and bids were made ss
high as #1,800 for her when she was
bought by the indorser for an amount ex
ceeding that sum, whioh was three times
tbe value of such property at that date.—

Although 70 years old, Mr. Longfellow
bss in his mauner little of the sentiment
whioh pervades bis poem “Moritnri Saln-
tsmus. ” He dresses in a suit of black
broadolotb, has long white heir and an as
pect full of genial warmth and refined hu
mor, is very mnoh of a Demoorat (gener
ally epeeking), converses freely, end has
a marvellous faoulty, when he ohooaea to
exeroiee it, of putting one quite at bla
ease. He spends his winters in Cam
bridge, and bis summers in hie cottage at
Nahant. Ha rises early, takes a compara
tively light breakfast, and if the day la
not rainy aeta ont for a walk, whioh takes
np an hour or two, aoootding to hie incli
nation. His gait ia firm and hearty, and
as he walks he holds himself perteotiy
upright. He does not ramble two morn
ings in the same direction, bnt varies hie
route daily.
Every day or two he ceils on his print-
eis, Welch, Bigelow A Co., at tho Uni
versity Tress, and receives or returns
proofs of his works, if be has anything in
type, whioh ie mostly the oese. He stud
ies his matter oarefully after it ia in print,
and generally submits hie proof to John
Gwen, his former publisher and friend.
Little if any of hia poetry u published is
written on the spur of tbe moment. “The
Divine Tragedy" ie said to have been re
written atier it wee nearly ell in type.
During late years he has been in the habit
of publishing bis poems in tha megsainee,
aud after having obtained a sufficient
number, adding a few new ones to them
and issuing them in book form. He
brings his “oopy” to the 'offloe of the
University l'ress, whioh is only half a
mile or so from his own residence, written
lu lead penoil, in a small baok hand, very
mnoh like the average newspaper men’s
style of handwriting, olear and mostly
free from interlineations end erasures.
His magazine poems are always revised
and oorreoted, or at least altered more or
lisa, before their publioation In book
form, so that the reader rarely encounters
ouo in exaotly the same shape aa in the
periodical. Mr. Longfellow is not a fre
quent diner-ont, although he haa proba
bly quite often eaten from the banquet
board of James T. Fields aod others of
his more intimate friends, who have
doubtless returned this oompliment. Hie
health 1b very fine, and ha haa himaelf
stated that it haa never been better than
during the present Beeson.
He is at present engaged on a series
entitled “Poems of Plaoes.” Thia work
requires considerable reeding, note tak
ing, and sorting out of old poems and
productions, and the poet rarely has a
poem in print nowadays. Tbe first three
volumes, relating to Soottland, France
aud Italy, have already been pnbliabed,
and tbe printers ere now et work on
“Spain.” The manner in whioh copy ie
furnished ie es follows: When the print
ers are out tbe poet sends np a boy with
a wheelbarrow or other vehiole laden with
hooka containing poems whioh he wants
to l. elude iu his oolleotion, with a writ
ten reference to the book and poem or
poemB. Tbe compositors set np the mat
ter indicated, aod tbe books are sent baok
to the reaidenoe of their owner. Tbe
poet ie said to be anxious that hia books
may appear io as neat and attraotive a
shape aa possible, end tbe diamond edi
tion was only allowed beoenee the exi
gencies of book making required it, tbe
oostlier books being eo far out of tbs
reach of a vast class of readers that to get
at them it was necessary to issue an edi
tion within their means.
In writing Mr. Lowell disoards a table,
but seating himself midwey between it
and the flreplaoe, in a broad easy chair,
he employs for the pnrpoaee ot a deck a
piece of pasteboard, resting it conven
iently on hia knee. His essay or poem is
always mapped ont clearly in hie head
before he reduoes any of it to writing.
He puts it together, so to apeak, joint by
joint, until he has the skeleton completely
articulated, sud then he fills it ont. Hi*
handwriting is oharaoteristie and hia
“oopy” is unpopular with printers because
of tbe ohaogeB, tho interlineations and
erasures be constantly maket,although tha
handwriting itself is fair and uniform.
Ha goeB through his proofs after the man
ner of a olergyman supervising his son’s
college efforts,and makes many and often
general oorreotions. The publishers used
to send him proofs of his matter, after
tho plates were oast, but ha made suoh
havoo with hia revises that they
were foroed to discontinue such
unprofitable conclusion jumping.
His famous and widely read “Big
low Papers” have been very mnoh altered
aud oorreoted since their original publica
tion. He is a hard reader and with him
this means a profound book student, for
ho rarely roads books purely for amuse
ment or superficial instruction. His olass-
ionl knowledge surpasses that of any man
iu this vioinity, not excepting Longfellow,
aud bis reading of Dantesn literature has
given him an acquaintance with it that it
is believed by many to exoeed Mr. I.ong-
fol low’s,
Mr. Lowell’s occupation is thst of a
locturor. Ho takes breakfast in tbe neigh
borhood of 10 o’olook, after walking about
tho country for an hour or so before it,
aud rends or writes as tbe mood seizes
him, althongh his attention to hooka ia
rather more systematic than to his desk.
He is fond of flowers and often works
among them. He likes angling, and ap
preciates almost all kinds of field sports.
He is not a rich man by any means; he is
not indeed so comfortably aitnated, in a
pecuniary seuBe, that he oan afford to
work for posterity for nothing.
