California has two million acres of
land sown in wheat this season, and
the soring rain-falls have insured a
great crop. The estimates of the best
wheat men in the State put the yield
at not less than forty million bushels.
The entire wheat exports of the Uni

export half of that amount this year,
and to pay nineteen million dollars
for freight charges in getting it to
consumers.
The Houston, Texas papers report
such a heavy and wide-spread rain-fall
in that section on the 2d and 3d inst,
as to cause a flood that overspread all

have the right to have mothers, to
have moral culture and training at

duty of supplying the means of edu

RALPH ESTELLE,
A ROMANCE OF THE LATE WAR.
CHAPTER V.
Hie hasty leave t king was soon
over, a few hurried words of thanks,
and with yes filled with tears, Ralph
bid adieu to the hallowed spot about
which hovered the shattered remains
of all his brightest hopes and fondest
dreams, and but a few hours elapsed
be'ore he was at his command, and at
which place, he posted the letter. The
mystery which shrouded Nannie’s re
fusal to marry Ralph can be explained
in those few words. In early infancy,
she had been plighted by her parents
to a cousin two years her senior, by
the name of Phil Turner, and having
never seen any one for whom she cared
particularly, she had allowed a tacit
acquiescence to seal the engagement,
an engagement from which she could
not release herself without as she im
agined, committing some heinous sin—
a feeling constanly being encouraged
by her parents until it had at last be
come, as it were, a pait of her nature
to believe that the engagement must
be consummated. Soon as Nannie
heard and realized that Ralph had
gone, she rapidly grew worse, a dele
rium came over her, and she would
cry wildly for him, and at times, it
required one or two persons to prevent
her from jumping up and leaving the
room. The best medical men were
summoned to her bed side, and for
weeks they kept her alive by stimu
lants and other powerful remedies, but
at last nature gave away, and it was
known that she was compelled to die;
however, about an hour prior to her
death, she became calm and rational,
and appearing to realize her situation,
she called her father and mother to her
bedside, saying, “My dearest father
and mother, I am dying, I am dying
of a broken heart, and I would have
you promise me here that you will
love Ralph for my sake. I gave him
all my heart, a young girl’s love, with
All its freshness and purity, but refus
ed to marry him and turned him away
without any hope on account my en
gagement to Phil, an engagement of
your making, and one of God break
ing. It has killed me, and now as 1
am about to go, come close up and
kiss me good bye, meet me in heaven,
tell Ralph to meet me in heaven and say
to him, that he will not think harshly
of me now, since he can see what the
struggle has cost me, and tell him
further, that my dying words were that
I loved him and”—here she broke
down and fell back on her pillow—a
corpse. Phil arrived in time to see
her burial, and seemed much affected,
but couid Ralph have been seen when
he heard of her death, and of the dy
ing messages, the grief of Phil would
have appeared as mirth in comparison.
Suffice it to say that it was apprehend
ed by bis comrades that he would be
come a raving maniac, however, the
excitement of battle seemed to dispel
the gloom temporarily, and after the
war, we find him settling up the shat
tered remains of the estate, his father
and mother having both died, convert
ing everything into money and very
suddenly left the country, no one
J knew where. Someone at Gatewood,
J however, saw him out at the cemetery
adjacent to the city, kneeling at the
grave of Nannie with clasped hands
looking heavenward and was heard to
say, “Lord, bate me to the idol of m3 7
hero, but waft me off to the land where
I can be with my dear darling, Nan
nie.” Long years have elapsed since
then, and at rare intervals, Ralph is
heard from as leading a lonety solitary
life, amid strangers in different coun
tries, but in most cases, among the
wilds of Chili, and upon one occasion,
and only one, a letter was received
from him written at Pueblo, New Mex
ico, l>y Mr. Lee, giving vent to his
feelings 111 a most pitiable tone—own
ing that he is existing without his
consent, dragging out a life, barren
of all hope, without an aim, a::d with
but the single thought alway-s upper
most in his feedings—that of going to
Nannie.
THE END.
The Burial Place of Gov. Troup
And Some Reminiscences of
Him.
Brown’s Hotel, May 13, 1874
Editors Telegraph J; Messenger : I ob
sorjvc '■ tLo Miming' Star of to-day
that a letter lias appeared in the Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel trom the
Macon correspondent of that paper,
giving historical reminiscences of
the late ex Governor Troup, of Geor
gia, and the writer claims that the re
mains repose in the city of Macon. If
the writer of that letter had known
the facts patent to all readers, or had
even examined the excellent map of
Georgia, by Capt. A. G. Butts, of Ma
con, he would not have ventured to
make the statement which I find in the
paper alluded to.
The facts are that ex-Gov. Troup died
while on a visit to one of his planta
tions in Montgomery county, in April,
1856, and I understood at Valdosta,
the day after his death, that he ex
pressed a desire to be buried by the
side of his brother Robert, who had
died in 1848, and was buried at his
Rose Mount farm, on the east side of
the Oconee river, some twelve or fif
teen miles from Valdosta, the perma
rnanent residence of the ex-Governor.
The ashes of that illustrious man re
pose by the side of his brother, Robert
Troup, and not at Valdosta, as some
people erroneously suppose, nor in the
city of Macon, as the correspondent of
the Chronicle and Sentinel would have
the public believe. Thomas M. For
man, Esq., a son in law, was appointed
one the ex-Governor’s executors, and
not long after the death of the father
in-law, he had tombs of the most sub
stantial masonary placed over the
brothers and surrounded with costly
iron-railing, and it is probable that
their ashes will be undisturbed, if not
for all time, at least for ages to come.
Should an3 T one be curious to see the
tomb of ex-Governor Troup, or his
“last resting place,” he will find the
Rose Mount farm nearly equisdistant
between Valdosta and Mount Vernon,
the county site of Montgomery. When
the “curious visitor shall reach Mer
cer’s creek, a little stream that flows
into the Oconee river on the east side,
he will be near the spot where reposes
the ashes of the illustrious Georgian.
He has only to leave the old Darien
and Milledgeville road, turn south
ward, and in a few minutes at the or
dinary place, the Rose Mount farm will
break upon his vision. If the dwelling
on the farm is as it was in 1859, the
curious visitor will find the tomb of
the ex-Governor not more than 40 or
50 yards from the mansion.
Having written the foregoing to vin
dicate the truth of “biography,” I will
make a few additional remarks in rela
tion to the ex-Governor as the occa
sion seems to justify it, and promise
that if there was a man living whom I
knew and understood well, it was tne
ex-Governor, though this knowledge
was the outgrowth of nearly 20 years
of correspondence and triendship.—
There was one prominent trait in the
character of this remarkable man, and
it was his extreme modesty or a cliiv
alric delicacy that made it repugnant
to his feelings to speak of the part he
acted, not onty in the political history
;>f the country, but in the transactions
of life. He was free to speak of pub
lic affairs, but he was unlike*the states
men of the present day, he omitted to
speak of the past relating to himself
He was a member of two houses of
Congress for a quarter of a
and I never heard him speak of any
measure that came before the Con
gressmen which he spoke of the part
he took, and yet he gained a brilliant
reputation for denouncing the Yazoo
fraud. He was Governor of Georgia
four 3-ears —beating Talbot at the first
election, and Clark at the second, and
1 never heard him speak of either con
test, nor any measures that came be
fore him as the Executive of the State,
and I doubt if there was a man living
who possessed a better recollection of
the events through which he had passed
than he did. Not many months before
he died the writer of this spoke of a
duel that occurred in Savannah l>e- l
tween a couple of well known citizens,
in which the ex-Governor was a sec
ond. with the view of learning some
thing of the cause of the quarrel and
the result. This information was ob
tained from the pages of a work on
duelling then just published in Boston.
His answer was extremely brief. It
was that the duel was fought, that one
of the parties was badly wounded. He
said nothing of being a second in tbe
affair, and I learned nothing from his
statement more than 1 may have deriv
ed from others who remained in Sa
vannah the day the hostile meeting
took place on the South Carolina side
of the river. If I ever knew a man
who disdained falsehood and chicane,
ry, it was the ex-Governor, and n I ever
knew a man who was born insensible
to fear it was he. When I saw Gen.
Jessup’s opinion that G. M. Troup, of
Georgia, was about the only person at
Washington, when the British were
marching on the Capital who was
thoroughly composed and to himself,
I felt the truth of the statement from
my knowledge of him derived from an
intercourse of many years. A little in
cident is sometimes a kc} 7 to the char
acter of a man, and an illustration of
this sort occurred one day ,at Black
shear farm in the presence of several
persons. The party visiting were sit
ting around the table in the dining
room, when to the surprise of all, large
pieces of plastering commenced fall
ing, which were the thickest and
heaviest I ever saw in m3- life It was
onl3 T a few seconds before the room
was cleared of all except the ex-Gov
ernor, who remained, though at great
peril it was thought by those leaving,
and such must have been his own con
clusion, but to fly 7 , to him, to get out
of the way of danger—it seemed to be
foreign to bis nature, and|there he sat,
and as General Jessup observed,
seemed to be the only one who was
thoroughly composed of the party.—
For the present I will sa3 r no more.

THE TWIN CITIES.
A Bridge Between New York
and Brooklyn,
New York, June 6. —Governor Dix
having signed the billed providing tor
the completion of the bridge to con
nect New Yolk and Brooklyn, the
work, it is expected, will be resumed
forthwith. The bill provides that the
necessary amount to be raised for
completing the bridge shall be appro

It remains with the Common Council

New Departure Democrats. — An Illi
nois Democratic paper states the
truth concisely and forcibly when it
says : the trouble and difficulty that
he Democratic party lias hitherto
encountered in past campaigns, pro
ceded from those namby
pamby, Aunt Nancy Democrats, who
are ever ready to be persuaded by an3'
body and almost anything to switch
off upon every side track in politics
that designing men may suggest.—
This class of mischief-makers who call
themselves Democrats, have neither
character nor standing in their own
party, and are totally wanting in de
cision of character and fidelity to
principle. They are a dangerous set
wherever found, and their counsels
should be steadily dis regarded.”
How They Stand.
The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Herald sends the follow
ing in regard to the status of the
Georgia delegation on the social
rights bill :
The Georgia delegation of course
are divided. Whitley takes the pill
at a single swallow and smilos as he
gulps it. Freeman and Sloan are very
weak-kneed, and shallow in their faith.
Sloan wants to “dodge,” Freeman
shakes his head and prays nightly
that he may be spared the cruel fate
<;f casting a decisive vote. However,
the party 1 ash will bring them in at
the last moment, and thus their story
ends As for the Democrats from
Georgia, old Giberaltar, billow lashed
and storm ridden, couldn’t be firmer
than they. They are standing faithful
sentinels and are against the bill first,
last and forever. Brave old Phil Cook
swears that “he’ll be d—d if Gabriel
with his tooting horn could keep him
away from the House now.” Blount,
restless, but alwa3's present, refuses
to pair with any man, but claims his
prerogative of going down to history
against the measure of iniquity.”—
Harris, Bell and Young are “sealed
to the faith,” but this is useless, 3-011
know how they will stand.

I’ts such a nice thing to get a }oung

most remote manner to become ours,
we can soon change her opinion by
allowing the boat to dip a little wa

On last Saturday, about seven
o’clock, the young men of the Baxley
debating club, with much credit, dis
cussed the question ; “Are early mar
riages advisable Being advocates
of the affirmative side, we endeavored
to convince the President and every
body else in this neighborhood that
there was nothing like marrying young
and growing up together.
If we can get a second, we make a
motion to this cflect : That one day

hunting and picking “buckle’* berries.
Some how we always favored the plan
of fishing (especially on dry land) in

fy our curiosity as to how “he would

“blowing you up” in the newspapers.
We acknowledge, with pleasure,

calling Squire John R Johnson to the
chair. After a few well-timed and
pointed remarks from that gentleman,
others suggested new ideas regarding
to the cultivation of cane, oats, pota

iness before the society it adjourned
until the regular meeting

A Tennessee Romance.
He was young, he was fair, and he
parted his hair, like the average beau,
in the middle ; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be cold, he
he played like a fiend on the fiddle.—
Barring this vice, lie was everything
nice, and his heart was so loving and
tender that he always turned pale
when tie trod on the tail of a cat lying
down by the fender. He clerked in a
store, and the way he tore off calico,
jeans and brown sheeting, and made
the brute laugh in the face of a quar
terly meeting. He cut quite a dash,
with a darling mustache, which he
learned to adore and cherish, for one
girl had said, while she dropped her
proud head, that ’twould kill her to
see the thing perish On Sundays he’d
search the straight road to the church,
unheeding the voice of the scorner ;
and demurely he sat, like a young
tabby cat, with the saints in the ainen
coiner. He sang like a bird, and his
sweet voice was heard fairly tugging
away at long metro ; and we speak
but the truth, when we say that this
youth could outsing a hungry mus
qurto.
She was young, she was fair, and
she scrambled her hair like the aver
age belle ©1 the city ; she was proud,
but not bold, yet the truth must be
told, the way she chewed wax was a
pity. Barring this vice, she was every
thing nice, and the world admired her
bustle ; and the Fayetteville boys,
being calmed by the noise, walked
miles to hear it rustle. She cut a
swell, did this waxchewing belle, and
men flocked in crowds to meet her ;
but she gave them the shirk, for she
*oved the young clerk, who sang like
a hungry musquito. So she hemmed
and she hawed, and she sighed and
she “chawed” till her heart and jaws
were all broken ; then she walked by
his store, while he stood at the door
waiting for some loving token. She
raised up her eyes with a mocking
surprise and tried to enact the seorn
er, but, to tell the truth, she grinned
at the youth who loved the amen cor
ner. * * * They met—alas !
what came to pass was soft and sweet
and precious ; they wooed, they
cooed, he talked, she chewed—o, how
they loved, good gracious ! They had
to part ; he rose to start, her grief can
not be painted ; these are the facts,
she swallowed her wax, then scream
ed, then choked, then fainted. Her
pa appeared; her beau, quite scared,
rushed out to get some water ; the
watch dog spied his tender hide, and
bit him where he ‘oughter ’ The case
is sad, the sequel bad—so thinks the
youth thus bitten; he sings no more as
of of yore—he gave that girl the mit
ten.
She pined apace, her pretty face
looked slender and dejected ; her fa
ther kind, but somewhat blind, beheld
her and reflected, llis income tax she
spent for wax she smiled and called
him clever ; she went to work, forgot
that clerk, and chawed in bliss for
ever !— J. Bateman Smith.
