JNO. M. FISIILR, \■ 2‘ : l: Darien, Ga. Bright Points in Washing ton Life. A bright little soul, who support ed herself in the departments for some time, is Miss Serita Brady, whose charmingly entertaining let ters to newpapers have familiarized her to many firesides. She is somewhere in the youthful twenties, on its sunniest slope, with small, round, well-formed figure, eyes flip of life and light, and conversation sparkling with bon mots. She left her- desk over a year ago to try her fortune in journalistic fields, but with the promise that if unsuccess ful she emid return to tho protec tion of Uncle Sam’s rooftree. She was visiting some friends ift New York who were personal friends of A. T. Stewert, the Prince of Dry-Goodism. Her friends and self were invited by his Highness to visit his palace prior to its grand opening. Miss Brady, pencil and note book in hand, accompanied the party from basement to Mansard roof, listening attentively to every thing said and shown, and after reaching home went to her room and wrote a very interesting letter of all she had seen and heard. She then enclosed the MS. to Mr. Stew art, and asked him if the statements therein contained were correct and satisfactory, and whether ho would object to her using them for publi cation. The reply of the veteran millionaire was characteristically to the point. Expressing his pleasure at tho charming manner hi which she added bistre to his name and business, lie begged her to accept a slight testimonial of his esteem in the shape of a SIOO bill. Miss Brady’s mother was a Cuban, and the little lady herself first saw light yuder the tropical skies, which two facts account for the glowing depis of her dark eyes and her versatile fancies. Auiorg the guests accommodated at Mps. \\ T obb’s house in George town was a certain legationist, Ba ron You Havre by name. He pass ed through the Departments one day on an inspecting tour, along with a party of friends, and was ar rested by tho sight of a fair, sweet face crowned with it golden glory, bending industriously over some piece of writing. He looked so long that his companions chaffed him upon his sudden smite. He returned after a few hours spent with his friends, and inquired about the beautiful girl, and was soon af terward an inmate of her house on the Heights. Tho half sister, who dressed well, visited, and did noth ing, laid claim to the nobleman’s attention, and the mother did all she could to assist her daughter; but the Baron had his eyes and thoughts for the n glectcd maiden, who rose so early in the morning and marketed, and made her pret ty, f-imple divsses with her own nimble lingers, and went patiently through summers heat and winter’s snow to her desk ia the Govern ment office. So, he offered her his hand, his heart, and his fortune of $50,000 per annum, and she be came the lovely bride of a noble man, in every sense of the word. I remember how beautiful she look ed in her tlirr.y white dress with a silken light sheening through its lacy meshes, and pearls, whose years numbered as many as the beads which formed the necklace. I saw a picture of her, taken from an oil painting, after -he had lived as a happy bride and beautiful mother in far-off Germany. She •■M in a half covered arbor, with a half wreath of flowers falling care lessly from her lap to the ground. Her arms and neck are both bare and perfectly free from ornament, yet so exquisitely moulded that jewelry would merely take away from them their beauty. Her beau tiful hair is parted—“one V.oon bearn from the forehead to the crown,” and combed smoothly back from her lovely face. She is the idol of her husband, and tho ad mired of all the nobles.— Chicago Tribune. CfU.,,After leaving a Jefferson ave nue street car yesterday, a citizen ran and over took it again, and as ho entered lie looked around on the floor and asked: “Did any one see a letter in a mourning envelope?” All answered “No” and he continu ed. “Well it’s no great loss, though I’d like to be sure whether it said that my brother Wil liam or my uncle James was dead.” tfi'H' A Covington lady started a “Matrimonial Intelligencer Office” recently, and managed to marry to herself the first man that applied, which proceeding brought the in stitution to an end. Earl of Rosebery. Archibald Primrose, Earl of Rosebery, a Scotch nobleman, is about to marry Miss Duncan, daughter of Wm B. Duncan, of the house of Duncan, Sherman & Cos. of New York. The father of the young lady is a son of Alex. Dun can. a native of Scotland, formerly of Canandaigua and subsequently of Prov deuce, who married a niece of Cyrus Butler, of the latter city, and inherited from him about six million dollars twenty years ago. Cyrus Butler was a bachelor, who inherited from his father in tho ear ly years of this century $200,000. By living at the rate of S3OO a year, and by judicious investments in Ohio and New York, he accumula ted an immense fortune. He was generally regarded as a miser. Miss Dix, however, managed to screw out of him $50,000 for an Insane Asylum in Rhode Island, which bears his name. William B. Duncan married in 1851 the daughter of Stephen B. Duncan, of Mississippi, the most op id nt planter if the South, and a native of Pennsylvania. He some times made two thousand bales of cotton per annum. The war ruined him, of course. The partners of Mr. William B. Duncan are his fa ther and the two sons of the late Watts Sherman, or.o of the original founders of the house. Watts Sher man was a poor young man from the Mohawk Valley, who came to Albany in early li e and obtained a place iu the City Bank, of which Erastus Corning was President. In course of time he rose to the place of casher. He married, first. Miss Turner, a niece of Mrs. Coming, and, second, a daughter of Mr. Gibson, the banker of Canandiagna. When Uio house of Duncan, Sher man & Cos. was formed he was ad mitted as a partner without capital, and allowed the sum of $25,000 per annum for his presumed financial ability. lie lived on Fifth avenue, in the best style, and spent hie whole income. His sons inherited a handsome estate from their grand father Gibson. Their mother trans lated from the Italian “Beatrice Cenei,” a novel of great popularity, and is highly esteemed, among a large circle of friends. The earl of Rosebery is a great admirer of this country, and very hospital to Amer icans. Ke is a daily attendant on the Beecher trial Washington Her ald. Great Fishing in Florida. South of Jacksonville about two miles ia Alachua lake. > Formerly this was a vast prune of over twen ty thousand acres of good grazing land. In the midst of it was a deep hole or land sink, of which there are a great many in the State, into which the waters of McKinstry lake situated further north, and the sur rounding country used to flow and find a subteranean outlet to the sea. About four years w o tho,em!ct got more or less choked up, and the surplus water backing soon covered this vast track of country, in which aqueous condition it has remained ever since. Increasing and dimin ishing in area as the season varies from wet to diy. This lake is lit erally alive with fish. I have seen colored boys with an ordinary pole cut from the woods, a line not over four feet long, and a fly rudely con structed of white and red flannel, catch eighty pounds of black bass in a couple of hours. These fish average from two to twelve pounds. An eight pound base is common. A few days ago a gentleman residing in Gainsville caught and weighed on Fairbanks scales, in tho presence of a number of Northern visitors here, a black bass weighing nine teen and one-quarter pounds, Tra diton says one was caught here last year that weighed twenty-three pounds. All the small streams flowing into'this lake are also full of bass. A few days ago I saw three small boys standing in a stream, about three feet wide, and may have been a foot deep, each armed with a piece of hoop iron, with which they killed, in the half hour I was present, eight good sized bass. Another boy of the same party, with a two bushel corn bag, mado one haul in tho same stream of ten bass. BHu.Ufo difference between a boy and a horse is thus given by tho De troit Free Press: “If i was a horse now,” mused a big boy as be strug gled up Griswold street yesterday, “I’d ho stabbied, rubbed down, and fed; hut I’m a boy, and I’ve got to go home, clean off snow, bring in wood, tote water, and rock the damned old rn h ir or two.” $2.50 A YEAR. “Posession Nine Points.” The Salem (Oregon) Statoftnah tells the following interesting story of two bridegrooms’ troubles: A few days since a young man hailing from the classic precincts of the LaCreole, applied to the clerk of the comity of Polk for a license to marry a young lady, which the clerk issued. The same day another man applied for a license to marry. The clerk was not in and his deputy is sued the license. The two licenses were issued for the same girl. The first party hastened to the house of his young inamorata, and fixed up in gay attire, they hastened to a minister’s residence to have the knot tied a in regular orthodox style. While the ceremony was being per formed party No. 2 came panting into tho room, his face flushed and his almost broken heart thumping perceptibly. In answer to the ques tion if there were any who objected to the bans, No. 2 yelled out he did, and the same time presenting his li lonse duly issued and signed by the county clerk. Here was a quanda ry the man of God couldn’t get through his clerical brain, and ho stopped, leaving the party unmar ried. No. 1 came to the city the next day to consult an attorney. He was in a world of trouble—frustra ted in his cherished desire of wed diag his lady-love the day before, he wanted to appeal to the law, per haps to place an injunction, his rival No. 2. While No. 1 was taken legal advice, No. 2 took the mueh-covert ed Qoso of Dallas to another dispen ser of connubial ties, and was mar ried. When ho returned he found that while he had gained his point as to law, his rival had gained his point in matrimony. Josh Billings’ Papers. The two best blessings of life are the two that are most neglected, youth and health. Life iz short, but if it was shorter it would be better for many people. Don’t cry for epilt milk, young man, but pick up your pail and mil king stool and go for the next cow. Edukashun haz the same efiekt upon talent that poleing haz upon a hill of lima beans; it sets it to klirnh ing. It iz hard wark to find a li that iz ten years old. Mi advice to all iz to inary ycufig and grow old together. If a man haz got real merit, mod esty bekums him the best ; if he haz no merit it seems to be almost nec essary that he should be impudent. Wives in olden time were the grato necessity ov • life, but in these days they are the grate luxury. Stubbomess has ruined az many people az extravagance haz. Did you ever see an old bachelor who was’nt a self-conceited old crit ter ? There is no slavery so terrible as to gro old and be kontinually la menting about it. Tho man who iz willing to live hiz life over again haz probably got more konfidenee in himself than hiz nabors liav. Thoze folks who are alwus praying for long life, are generally the ones thi t the world kan spare the best. Wo are all of us apt to think that we are absolutely necessary in this life but if we should come back after an absence ov two years, the world would probably be more surprised than glad to see U3. The best way to subdew our pash uns is to gratify them honestly. The devil was the father of lies, but he neglected to take out a pat ent, and thousands have taken ad vantage of his invenshun. Well bred persons are those wlk aro eazv themselvei and make every body else feel eazy, ou3t in the rashio that a man makes a good husband he makes a good citizen, and he who ain’frwortlr* ova woman ain’t worthy of enny thing. teTThe New Orleans Times says President Grant has greatly chang ed in two years. His face i 3 red, approaching at times to purple, with appopletic threatning, and if looks augur anything, there are chances that the third-term question may bo settled, if he changes not his course of living, by the sudden clip of Clotho’s scissors. “I see death in his face if ho keeps this thing up three months longer,” said a physician whose name is eminent among the faculty in both hemis pheres, find renowned even in the L College of Surgeons, as we left tho lute House that evening. ttr‘T always thought I should never rear that child,” said ;ui old ladv of 00 on hearing of the death of her • aged 70.
