A Peer at Last.
London, August 12.—Although Mr.
Disraeli is to be elevated to peerage, he
will remain prime minister and St afford
Northcote will become leader of the
house of commons. It is the general
impression that the conservatives are
weakened by the ebauve, but Mr. Dis
raeli is physically unable to sostAia
the labor of leadership of the house.
It is rumored that other cabinet
changes will be made after prorogation t
namely: Right Hon. Sir Charles B*
Adderlv, baronet, president of the
board of tra« e, and Lore! John'Man*
ners, postmaster general, a* e to be
.•(Tt-red peerages. Mr. Wnt. II. Smith,
liberal conservative member for West
minister, and one of the joint secretaries
of the treasury is ; to replace Sir Charles
Adderlv and some subordinate mem
ber of the government to replace Lord
Manners.

London, August 12.—The Daily
Sews to*davaa\s that for more titan
one session it has been msi.itest that
the task of leading the honr-e of com
mons was growing too burdensome for
the prime minister, who never spared
himself when public duty demanded
his time and energies. His secension
to jieerage is not so much a promo: i m
as a development, or rather the crown
of a career. The political
may not at once unfold themselves.
Disraeli withdraws from the house of
commons at the ciose of a session in
which lie has been the centre in strong
personal discussions, but it cannot be
doubted that his removal was contem
plated before these discussions could be
toreseen. 1 be

CORISANDE,
THE BLIND BEGGAR’S DAUGHTER
BY n. K. HACKLEFOUD.
Ah Billy and Tom followed their ben
efactor out of the court room the; felt
thst hut for him the; would hare been
in ver; serious trouble. On the wa;
back to the store Bill; told Tom of his
good fortune,telling him he act nail; had
two pair of boots, two hats and three
suits of new clothes. Tom thought
Bill; was something superior to be the
possessor of such a fortune, and appear
ed to stand a little in awe of him.
“X tell ;ou what ;ou must do, Tom,
said Bill;, with the air of an oracle.
“What,” eagerly asked Tom.
“Go to Sunday school, be a good bov
and keep out of miaebiet, and you’ll
come out like I did.”
Why you don’t go to Sunday school!
exclaimed Tom, not exactly comprehen
ding Billy’s logic.
, *Oh, I met a little girl-angel with the
biggest brown eyes von ever saw,”
said Billy, “and 1 stopped a train as it
was going to run over her, and saved
her life. She gave me the luck. I was
a taking the apples to her when I met
you yesterday.”
Tom caught part of the ideas intend
ed to be conv eyed, but not all of it. He
didn't understand the invstery if Bil
ly** super-abundaut wardrobe, and was
about to make other inquiries wben
Billy stopped by a stand to purchase
pple basket.
our basket is at the station house,
Billy,” said Turn.
“You don’t suppose I would sell ap
ples in a basket that had been in the
lock up, do you?”
Tom made no reply, and in a few mo
menta they reached the store of Hr.
Chalmers. Mr. Chalmers took the two
boys into his private office and talked
long and kindly to them. Billy, touch
ed by the onerous conduct of the mer
chant, anil the real penitence ot Tom,
offered to give Tom a peck of his apples
to begin business with. Mr. Chalmers
commended him for the act, acd in a
few minutes more the two boys had
their baskets filled with the luscious
apples and were out on the streets, cry
ing them. They took different streets,
so as not to compete with each other,
they sold rapidly, and in less than two
houm they were out of stock. Billy
reserved a half dozen of the finest he
L
Thems her’s” he said, looking ad-
nirinaly at the beautiful golden frnit,
and I’ll take ’em to her now,” and with
that Billy ttaited off towards the lios-
■ital, where the lovely Corisande and
>er blind, wounded lather was. On
the way lie met a policeman who at
once gave chase to him. But Billy did
not run. and he soon felt the heavy
hand of the officer on his shoulder.
“I’ve got you at last, my youngster,
exclaimed the policeman, rndely shak
ing him. “Come, I want you.”
“I’ve been to the court and was clear
ed,” said Billy, “and you’ve no busi
ness to bother me now.”
“Yon can’t pnll that brush of wood
over my eyes,’*'said the officer, “come
along.”
Billy thought lie would never get
done with the police, and that every
time he started towards tne hoepital to
sec Corisande they would get after him
and ran him off. He sent back to the
station house and was released,
course, but was as mad as a hornet- He
folly and freely expressed bis opinion
of the who'e force. They told him to
stop or they would arrest him and.lock
him up.
“Oh yes!” he retorted sarcastically,
“you don’t do nothing else but catch
little boys. Yon just hide out when
you see a man a coming. Yon ought
lo be rent out to tight the grass-hop
pers.”
Here one of the officers rave chase
and Billy took to his heels. The officer
onlv aimed to run him off, and follow
ed him a block. Billy then went on
unmolested He reached the hospital
rate, was admitted on informing those
in charge thst he had some ap
ples for the old blind man and his
daughter. He w«s shown to the ward
where they were, and there be saw the
old man lying on a cot, his pallid wan
face turned towards the window; and
Corisande aittiug by bia side, like
beantitni, watching statue. She did
not see him, she was in a deep reverie,
looking over the bed out of the window.
Billy stood a few feet from her, drink
ing in the glorious beauty of her face
and wonderful eyes, which neither suf
fering or bungee had determined. At
last he said:
“Corisande!”
She qnicklv turned her head and
gazed at him* She did not recognize
in the well-dressed yonth before her,
the ragged, dirty, daring little hero of
yesterday, until he spoke again:
“Don’t yon know me, Corisande,” he
asked.
“Yes she exclaimed, springing to her
feet and seizing his hand, with tears
filling her eyes, “but I didn’t at first,
have been thinkimg of you ail the time
since yesterday^nd I prayed lor you last
night and this morning. 1 am so glad
you liave come ’’
“How is your pap®" h® asked, not
knowing what else to say to the lovely
girl. His heart was all in a flutter.
“He is very ill, the doctor says,” and
the poor girl turned ashade ptUeras she
turned and looLed at the wan face
the sleeper.
“See, said Billv, holdiag the basket
so she oonld see the guMen colored ap
ples. “I have brought you some nice
apples.”
“Oh, I amsog'ad!” and the grateful
look she gave him with those great
soulful eyes paid him more than a bash-
el of snch applea were worth to him.
“I know papa will like them. He is —
fondof them ”
“Bat yon must eat some too,
Billy, laying the apples in the chair on
which she had been sitting,
Corisande’s eyes fairly sparkled with
pleasure as she gased at the luscious
trait in the chair before her. It wa
treat she had not expect, and was
gratefnl for. Billy picked up one—the
nnot in the lot—and holding it op
said;
“I’ll peel it hr yon, and
“Sot that one, please,” she said, in
terrupting him. “Save that one for
papa. He ia so fond of them.”
Billv looked over at the pule face
the blind sleeper a moment, and then
again at the voting girl before him. As
those great brown eyes ol hers beamed
upon them with their look of fathom
less sadness, Billy Goes thought her an
angel comedown from heaven to take

and took op the poorest one in the lot,

and commenasd p *ring it for her.
“Billy,” she asked, softly, “where

“Get what 7” 1m asked in surprise,
not comprehending her at first.
“These apples r
“Oh!” and a smile lighted up his
Mr. Chalmers and sells them
on the streets everyday. I saved these
for yon—and yonr father,” he added,
seeing her whole existence was wrap

She seemed greatly relieved, and
took the apple and ate it. She tried
to *« it slowly, aa if she did not

Btily saw that she was half starved.
He peeled another for her, which she
ate in silence. Silly was happy in
contributing to her comfort and pleas

“ Ton sat np all night, didn't you?"
he asked suddenly, when she bad half
eaten the second apple.
“Yes,” she replied; “Papa was very
ill;” and the great brown eyes filled
with tears.
“Is he better now?”
“I don't know.”
“Ain't you sleepy?”
“Yes; bat I can*t sleep anv.”
“ Why can't you ?’*
“I'm afraid pap* would want me,
and think I had gone away.”
“Corisande,” said Billv, with tears of
sympathy for such devotion. “You lay
down and sleep and IH set here aud
watch for your.”
“Billy!” and the girl laid her hand
on his arm, whilst tears streamed down
her cbeeks. “you are so kind—more
kind than any one else to us—and I
>ray for you every night and morning.
[ have nowhere to sleep. They want*,
ed to send me away when they brought
papa here, but I would not' go, and
they just give me bread and water and
nowhere to sleep. But I won't leave
r papa!”
now wept tears of sym
pathy, and hastily threw
off his coat, doubled it up* carefully so
as to make a comfortable pillow of it,
and laid it on the floor by the side of
the blind beggar's cot.
“There!” he said, “lay down there
aud sleep, and I'll keep watch for you.”
“Will you wake me up if pai>a
wakes?” she asked.
“Yes, if you want me to.”
“Yes, wake me up then.”
Corisande laid herself down on the
clrtn floor and was soon sound asleep,
being almost exhausted with watching
and Hanger. Billy sat by the cot and
gazed first on one and then the other of
the two sleepers. How unlike they
were yet how poble they were in
their poverty. He looked at the
scant clothing of Corisande, her
naked feet, delicate, tender aud
tiny, and her little hands, slender and
topering, browned by exposure,
and then thought of his own cheerless
life; bis desperate struggles for mere ex
istence in the wide ocean of humanity.
He could not help wondering, in hts
mind, what woula become of her if her
father should die. Hour after nour he
sat there, and the two, father and
daughter, slept peacefully, sweetly.
He grew tired and sleepy himself, biit
like the brave little hero he was, he
would neither sleep or forsake his
post.
After a while he noticed the pale
sleeper on the conch moviughis lips,as
if speaking in a whisper, though he lay
still as death, with lus eyes closed. He
listened. He could catch a word here
and there, and his curiosity was exci
ted. The old blind beggar was actual
ly conversing with some one. Billy rose
to hU feet aud leaning forward placed
his ear close to the lips of the speaker.
He heard every word then.
“Yes,” whispered the blind man,“it
is rest—rest for me forever—and my
soul liveth and praiseth God! How
beautiful! Shall I cross over now ?
Yes ? Oh, how glad I am! I've been
waiting so long. Though I am blind
Iv*e lxen waiting for Immanuel to
come after me. Did you say He will
meet me on the other side of the river?
Yes! And that they are all there ?
How wonderful, the love of Jesus! He
cometh to meet the old blind beggar,
with a crown in His hand and shiniug
robes! Corisande! must I leave her
behindj? Blessed Lord, take her too!
You wUl watch over her? Guide her?
Yes. Iam content. Let's cross over
now ? It's so beautiful over there
and—-—”•
Corisande!” exclaimed Billy,
white as a sheet and with
tears streaming * down his
face, as he shook tne sleepicg girl on
the floor by the coat,“Cori«amle! Cori
sande ! Wake up quick I”
. **Eh! papa!” said she half awake.and
rising on her elbow,scarcely half awake.
“ Wake up, Corisande,” said Billy,
giving her another shake. “I think
yonr father is dying. Come, get up
quick!”
“Papa! Papal” cried Corisande,
springing to her feet and glancing first
at. her father and then at Billy Goss,
rubbing her eyes vigorously, as if try
ing to wake herself more thoroughly.
JSho was soon wide awake, and then
looking . inquiringly up at Billy
quietly asked:
“ *V liat’s the matter, Billy ?*'
“I think he is dying,” replied Billy,
pointing towards Iter father.
With a start and a gasp Cori
sande gazed at her parent
iong and silently. Her self-
possession was wonderful in one so
voung. Her face turned a shade pa
ler as she saw the motions of his lips.
“He is only taking in his sleep,”
she whispered to Billy, while still
gazed upon his pallid features.
“But his is talking with the an^
whispered Billy in return. “I heard
him, and so can you, if you will put
your ear dose to his mouth.”
Corisande placed a hand on her
heart, as if to still its wild throbbing,
and leaned over to place her ear near
to the lips of the sleeper, As the soft
accents fell on her ears her face be
came rigid in its marble whiteness.
With a wild cry she fell to the floor in
a death-like swoon.
“Oh, Lord!” exclaimed Billy at the
top of his voice, the tears streaming

The Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle says:
The reporter expressed a desire to see
Tom eat his meals, and was according*
ly token to his room.
“Sit down here,” said the agent, “and
keep perfectly still. Tom detects the
slightest sound, aud often puts people
out of his room under the impresiion
that they mean to injure him.”
The reporter seated himself in one
corner of the room, and in a few miu-
utes a waiter brought in Tom's meal
and placed it on a stand. Shortly after
Tom was led in from an adjoining room
and seated alongside the »tand. The
agent then withdrew, leaving Tom and
the reporter alone.
W hen the blind musician took his seat
his features could be studied at leisure.
His head seemed to be a literal copy
from the picture of idiots one seees in
the phrenological works ( There wa
scarcely any iorehead; his nose was
large and flat, the mouth and jaws sim
ply brutal. His yellow sightless eyes
rolled continually in their sockets, and
the whole aspect of his face was fero
cious and animal. Immediately on
seating himself he began to dram with
his hands upon the table as if finger
ing the keys of a piano, at the same
time humming an air in a low tone.
Next he ran the tips of his fingers over
the stand, and touched in succession a
beafsteak, a dish of asparagus, a cup of
tea, and some bread and potatoes. Sat
isfying bint-elf that a grace was wararnt-
able, he calmly spread his hands over
it and repeated a short grace, ina rever
ential tone and very slowly. The in
stant the grace was said he clutched
his beefsteak in both bands, and lifting
it to his mouth, tore it in fragments
between bis teeth, seeming to swallow
the pieces without mastication. As
soon as the steak was disposed of. he
began sweetening his tea with little
cubesof sugar. He evidently likes
his tea sweet, for he put sixteen ordi
nary cubes into his cup, and then,
stirring the mixture,drank it down with
a smack ot satisfaction. When this was
done he uttered a cry of delight, and
turning from the table, rubbing his
hands together in a sort of childish glee,
and danced about the room. Going up
to the mantlepiece, he went through
the motions of playing, taking no notice
wbatever of the articles which he
knocked off. Suddenly he rushed back
to the table and made a raid on the dish
of asparagus eating the stems entire,
the white stringy part as well as the ten
der extremity.
A MUSICAL ECSTACY.
lie next clutched a large potato
his hand and placed it between . his
teeth, but suddenly changed his mind,
and casting it down, lifted his eyes to
ward the ceiling, and again placed his
liands in a position to play. He held
his head motionless f* r some minutes,
as if endeavoring to catch some stray
musical iancy which was drifting
through his mind. Occasionally he
made a movement with his hands as if
he were about to strike a chord, but
checked himself and bit his lips as if
impatient Then his face would lose its
brutal expression, and his eyes turned
upwards seemed inspired. Finally he
began heating time witn his foot, as a
smile broke over his features, and be
w^nt through the motions of playing a
Passage in a slow movement. Sudden
ly he began to sing, evidently compos
ing as he went along, and the melody
was full of strange pathos; then storting
up from the table, lie rushed up to the
door of the adjoining room and tried to
open it. It had been locked by ths
agent, for the reason that a piano was
in the next room, and when Tom taket
his meals he frequently refuses to ea.

Finding it lo;ked. he threw h inself
against it and tried to force it open, but
it resisted all his efforts. Finding that
he could not force the door, he leaned
against itiu sorrowful attitnde, while
his eyes moistened with team.
At this juncture the reporter made a
sVght movement, and Tom's attention
was attracted immediately. HeJerked
his head quickly and listened. The re
porter made ano her slight noise—so
slight as to be almost im|>erceptible—
and Tom's face assumed a horrible scowl
and he advanced toward the sonnd rub

relishing the idea ol a personal encoun

the reporter resorted to a little ruse.
Throwing the stubof a lead pencil in the
air, it fell in a remote corner of the
room,and Tom rushed toward the sound
but was somewhat disappointed wben
he grappled a trunk. Tne fun now be

of paper and casting them abont the
room, had no trouble in causing the
musical prodigy to skip about in every
direction. He never came near the re

from his eyes, “she's dead! Corisande
is dead !'*
Several nurses and inmates of the
hospital came runutng forward to as
certain the cause of his cries.
“What's the matter?” cried one of
the nurses.
“She's dead!” exclaimed Billv, point
ing to the insensible form of the little
gin on the floor, “and her hither is dv*
ing !*'
The matron of the hospital took Cori
sande in her arms and carried her off
to an empty cot, at the farther end of
the room.
“Run for the doctor,” she said to one
of the attendants, “she has only faint
ed.”
The doctor was soon by the side of
the insensible Corisande, and proceed
ed at once to administer proper resto
ratives; in a few minutes she was re
stored to consciousness.
“Oh,mypapalmy dear papa!” were the
first words that escaped her lips when
she opened her eyes. “Let me go to
him.” And springing away from the
doctor and matron she ran back to the
side of her father. The old man sud
denly opened his eyes, turned their
sightless eyes upon her, smiled and
said:
“Corisande, my child, I am going
away. I am going to your mother and
to our Savior in heaven. You must
not grieve for me, for yon would not
have me stay here where all is dark
and dreary. I cannot see here, but
over there I can Fee everything, and
everything is so beautiful* aud bright
there. I have been standing on the
margin of the river where it cast up its
silvery spray at ray feet, talking with
the angels. They tell me to have no
fears for you, as they will hover over
yon, guide you and at last bring you

mother and me. 1 am happy now,Cori
sande, and you must rejoice and thank
God yonr old blind father restetb in

isande, and God will bring you home,

always. I am going to leave you in
the wide, wide world, Corisande, with
none of earth to care for you, and”—
“I will care for her, sir,” sobbed Billy
Goss, interrupting the dying man, and
kneeling by the bedside.
“Oh! Who was that spoke, Cori-
sande?” asked the old man quickly.
“It was Billy Goss, papa,” said Cori
sande. “The little boy who caught the
horses the other day. He is here, and
brought us some nice apples.”
“Yes, yes, I remember,” murmured
the dying man. “The angels will raise
up friends for yon, my darling. Give
me your hands, children,” ana as the
dying beggar held oat his hands Cori
sande and Billy placed theirs in them.
He pressed them together, murmur
ing:

It was but a few days ago, that the sad and pain
ful intelligence reached as, of the death of W
Adair, junior member of ths firm of Adair A
Bros, Atlanta, Georgia, and we cannot refrain
from offering the following brief tribote of re
spect to the memory ot onr deceased friend,
the moral, nodal and badness relations of life.
Walter Adair had no rn peri or tn the bounds
onr acquaintance. Fiona, courteous and accom-
mo fating, he always won the confidence and
esteem of those who had the good fortune to
acquainted with him Though cot down in the
prime and vigor of manhood, he has left a
and example worthy of honor and Imitation, an*
long will the recollection of honesty, virtue and
sterling integrity be kept fresh and green in the
hearts and memories o f the many warm and de
voted friends who mourn the untimely Kos of one
so noble, just acd true. He bore with fortitude,
patience and the utmost resignation, his long pro
tracted Illness, and went oat calm and serene
t tie cloudless splendor of an autumn son-set.
the death of Walter Adair, Atlanta lost one or her
best citizens, and society one of Its brightest
ornaments. We tender our most sincere and
heart-felt condolence to the bereaved relatives and
friends of the deceased.
No earthly power can stay
The icy hand of death.
It calls onr dearest friends away.
And chills ths fleeting breath.
But there's one hope to cheer
This sorrow-stricken vale;
Well meet with those we lov'd so dear;

Thrash's Consnmptlon Core rind Lung
Restorer.
Central Railroad k Banx'o Co.. or^GronoiA,
Atlanta, Ga., June 4th, 1676.
Messrs J. T. Thrash k Co., Griffin, Ga.:
Gents—Please send me (as before) one largest
siae bottle of your "CotUumption Curt and Lung
Rtttorer*'—true to name. It is the only remedy
now extant for consamptlon and diseased throat
and lungs. Other remedies, so numerously
commended, are but temporary paliatives, that do
any good but for a short time, whilst yonr Can-
nanption Cun and Lung Restorer gives relief
once and will permanently cure. My experience
with remedies for the relief of the throat and
lungs probably exreeds that of but very few per
sons, physicians or otherwise. I have been very
near :be point of dissolution of soul from its af
flicted tenement; and have used every remedy ever
heard of; the effect appeared only to procrastinate
the sufferings of my mortal existence. Seeing Dr.
tovic Fierce's certificate of your medicine, and
being well acquainted with the reverend doctor
for nearly forty years, and consequently knew
well his afflictions, concluded that your remedy
might do me good, at least I had never need it,
and as I had used every other remedy known or
heard of, concluded at roc" to give it a trial. I
sent to you forabot'.e, you are aware, and
after using it, I purchased’ . more from Messrs.
Hunt. Rankin A Lamar, his dty. Before the
first was exhausted I was fully convinced of its
good effects; and after or, jout the time of the use
of the last two, I could speak easily, and could
ring; a thing I could not have done for three years
or kmger; and have been able to Uo down comfort
ably and sleep soundly, a comfort that I had not
enjoyed fora longtime. I have been using the
remedy about twenty days, and unhesitatingly
certify that it Is a cun for consumption and all
affections of the throat. My lungs commenced
exhibiting signs of disease In March, 1858, the re
sult of tns&lm a cough ensued and continued to
grow worse. April, 1874, I was so feeble that I
could not attend to business of any 'sort, and was
forced to give up and come to Atlanta that I might
be near my good old mother to breathe out my last
on earth: the merer-tiring attention of that mother
and your Consumption Cun and Lung Restorer
has saved me and I now fed as If my life might
be spared me several years longer, Indian reme
dies, German remedies, and French remedies to
the contrary. Respectfully,
JOHN H. MEAD.
