The horror which Editor Htcad, of tlie
Vail Mall Gazette, expresses at the idea of
anyone’s going into journalism for the
purpose of making money, is justified by
the opinion of the Washington Star by
the experinee of a great many persons
who try it.
Amelie Rives Chanlcr. the novelist, is
passionately fond of the violin. It. is
said that “she will jump up in bed in
the middle of the night, seize her violin,
always at the head of the bed, and fiddle
away with surprising energy.” The
other day it was announced that Mr.
( hauler had gone to Central Africa.
Professor Thompson, of the geological
survey, who has been at work near Reno,
Nev., making surveys and maps for the
purpose of establishing reservoir sites for
the purposes of irrigation, is very en¬
thusiastic regarding the work, and says
the result will exceed his most sanguine
expectations. He is confident that
through irrigation millions of acres of
arid lands on Ihe Pacific coast can here
claimed and made productive.
The popular belief thet ironclad nien
of-war arc an invention of the last half
of the nineteenth century is evidently not.
founded upon fact, Divers have re
cently been at work in the harbor of
Trieste, Austria’s seaport, and have
brought up portions of tho French
frigate which was wrecked seventy-eight
years ago. The wreck had sunk so
deeply in the sand as to bo well preserved,
and it has been found that the hull was
of wood and was heavily [dated with
iron.
Rice planters in the South are accus
tomed to bum their rice straw to get it
out of the way. We understand, says
the Manvfactunrs ’ AWord, that recent
practical tests have demonstrated that
this straw makes excellent paper mate
rial. One paper company has gone so
far as to order some 3000 or 1000 tons of
this straw to further experiment. Rice
straw may yet prove to be a cotton seed
in miniature. At any rate, the results of
these experiments will be watched with
interest.
] : The Yankees of Asia, the Japs
as arc
Sometimes called, have been more tor¬
mented with the disastrous antics of the
elements this year than even the Ameri¬
cans. Japan has had a series of earth¬
quakes and floods and a tidal wave has
added hundreds more to the thousands
already killed by falling mountains and
rivers pushed out of the place. The his¬
tory of this year is one of disaster all
over the globe. Almost no nation has
escaped, but Japan lias suffered perhaps
more than any other when her area is
considered. There is a feeling of warm
friendship for Japan in the United States,
which rpakes Americans regret the cal¬
amities that have overtaken tills inter¬
esting people.
W- W. McNair, famous for his daring
explorations, died recently in India. His
death was caused by overtaxing his

and lack of food while prosecuting sur

THE MONROE ADVERTISER. FORSYTH, GA.. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1889- EIGHT PAGES
The discussion of the advisability of
colonizing Vermont and New Hampshire
with Scandinavian immigrants b 4k
directed attention to the fact that Maine
made a successful venture of this kind
twenty years ago.
A convention of colored religious *,s
sociations, lately in session at Indianapo¬
lis, Ind., demanded of the next Congress
an appropriation of *100.000 to promote
a project for the permanent colonization
of the colored people in the West.
Eighty-two jw*rsons have been killed
in the United States during the past six
months by boiler explosions, and in no
one case has any one been held legally
responsible for the calamity. This, re¬
marks the Detroit Fret Pros*, ought to
encourage tin peddlers to run engines.
Wisconsin boasts a whole family of
lawyers. The father, mother and eldest
daughter are established practitioners,
while the two younger daughters are ore
paring themselves to be admitted to tin
bar by taking the law course at the State
University. The three girls are all under
twenty-one. and are said to be possessed
of more than an ordinary share of good
looks.
London is really going to imitate Paris
and become an intrenched city. Military
storehouses have already been built for
the troops, which might be used on its
southern line of defense; intrenched
camps arc to be created, and one of them
is actually to bo near the town of Dork¬
ing, the scene of the mythical battle.
The volunteer artillery is to be equipped
at once with more suitable guus. It
will, however, says the St. .Aimes's
Gazelle , be some time before the me
tropolis is impregnable.
Three expeditions to the South Pole
are under discussion, and have been more
or less determined upon. England has
one under consideration, the French sci¬
entists are urging their Government, to
take up the matter, aud the Germans of
Hamburg, with Villard as their Ameri¬
can agent, have been seriously contem¬
plating sending down a body of explorers
to the mysterious regions of the Antarc¬
tic. A general revival of interest in this
comparatively neglected portion of tlie
globe seems to be promised, and the Han
Francisco Chronicle thinks the time is at
hand when the existence of a great An¬
tarctic continent, the magnetic conditions
of the South, and the relative flatness of
the earth at that point will be definitely
settled.
The carelessness of the Mexican Gov¬
ernment in regard to money matters, the
New York Sun declares to be most rep
rehensible. “Our neighbor has permitted
herself to be robbed of $1,200,000 in
bonds. It appears that the robbery oc¬
curred in the fifth section of the Treasury
Department, at the head of which is Mr.
Enrique Abogodo. The stolen bonds
were in two books, and it is stated they
were placed on the market in London,
where $920,000 were realized by theii
sale. There is some question as to
whether the bonds were signed, sealed,
dated and marked with the private mark
of the Treasury Department; but this
matters-little, inasmuch as the robbers are
apparently capable of signiug tlie name
of Secretary Dublan.”
During the Russian Czar's recent visit
to Germany, extraordinary measures for
his safety 7 were taken. No precautions
seemed to satisfy the Russian officials.
Count Sehouvaloff fortified the Russian
Embassy at Berlin. Six Russian artizans,
especially attached to the Czar's retinue,
examined the walls, flooring and furniture
of the embassy aud inserted grating bar¬
ring at the tops and bottoms of the chim
nev Sentries were also stationed upon
the roof, apparently to prevent explosives
being thrown dowu the flues. The Ber¬
lin secret police assisted the Russian de¬
tectives as l'ar as the frontier, In ac
cordanee with the Czar’s desire the rail¬
way bridges at Neustadt, Dirsehau aud
Marienburg aud all the streets of Dantzio
were guarded by troops. Until the mo
ment the Czar left Dantzic even the of¬
ficials were not allowed to know wheth-r
he would board the imperial yacht Der
java or make the journey by railroad.
When the train started for the frontier,
orders were telegraphed to put 50,000
Russian troops in motion to protect the
line.

THE LOST LETTER.
“Four dollars. Four dollars and a
half. Do I hear five dollars? Is it pos¬
sible that no one present has taste enough
to bid five dollars for this superb old
mirror? Four dollars and a half. Five,
dollars! Thank you, sir. Get the gen
tleman's name, Jim."
A young man with a flushed face and
his hat on the back of his closely cropped
head, instant!}- stood before me with a
notebook in his hand. I became aware
that while I supposed myself tp .be nod
ding across the room to a friend, I had
been bidding for the mirror. I did not
intend to do so; I did not need or de
sire the glass; but I appreciated its value,
knew it was a bargain, aud dreaded the
general notice that would be attracted to
me if I denied the intention; so I gave
him my name, and that eveuing found
the mirror my exclusive property.
Like most old bachelors, I was fond of
adorning my furnished apartment with
things of my own. A curious clock had
been the object of my visit to the auction
rooms; and now- that I had the mirror, I
wondered that I had not really offered a
bid for it. It was a mantel mirror, long
and low, with a frame about which Loves
and Graces were apparently playing at,
:ag. The glass was fine, and the gilding
was good, but I noticed that its back
was a little loose in the frame, and taking
the precaution of putting in a few brads
before I hung it, I dislodged an article
that had slipped down between the glass
and the frame. It was a letter, In a deli
cate envelope, directed, stamped and still
sealed with a drop of green wax stamped
with a lotus flower. Evidently it had
never been opened. The writing, in that
>ale ink which ladies affect, had become
almost unreadable; but I finally discov
ered that it was addressed to Mr. Dudley
A hitmore.
It was easy to imagine how it had got
.nto the place whence I had taken it.
ho ever knew a servant who did not
use a mirror as a letter.rack the moment
it was loose-enough in its frame? But
whether ^ it was an important letter, which
should be delivered to its owner if possi
>!e, or merely some note of invitation
hat had had its day, it was quite impos
sible to guess. -
Tn the course of the next morning I
•ailed on the auctioneer, who referred me
tb c person who had placed the thing’s
m his hands for sale. He could only tell
me that they came from an old hotel
which was about to be torn down, the site
having been disposed of for certain car
stables, and that he never heard of Dudley
VVhitinore, who had probably been a
transient guest at the hotel. I looked in
the directory; there was no such name to
be found there, and the letter was, by
its postoffice stamp, five years old. I
did not feel that that gave me any right
to_ might open mee’t it; but hear it was Mr. possible that I

more, and I put it away, in order that, if
this ever happened, 1 might produce it,
Two years passed however, aud I had
never heard the name; and yet, wheu I
went upon my trip to Europe—my first,
and naturally most interesting one—I
took Mr. Whitmore’s letter with me.
Who knew but that I might meet him
abroad?
It was in the little village of Villc-le
Bel, near Paris, that I one day found my
self among the worshipers in the church
of Sa int Dklier, upon some day deemed
especially holy. i
A great many English visitors were
present, and among them a beautiful i
young lady, attended by a little brown ]
servant-maid in a tall white cap and ear-j
rings, listened intently to the music. She j
was dressed, very and graceful, charming, very elegantly j
very but she was '
also very pale, aud as the crowd in ;
creased and the air grew heavier, she j
grew still paler, until finally 1 heard the j
maid utter a little cry, and found that j
the lady had fainted. She was very j
near me, and, with the assistance of the I
maid. I managed to carry her through j
the crowd to the fresh air. There shere
covered, and, though still very weak, 1
was able to walk. I inquired how best
I could render assistance, and finding !
that she lived only a little distance from !
the church, offered my arm and rccom- 1
panied her to the door of her home. j
An old gentleman, sitting under the
trees in his liitle garden, with a volume
of Racine in nis hand, arose aud came
forward to meet us. He sympathized j
with tne young lady, admonished the
ZlZntl ana thansea ine n r e at wi°th with Ce n rnauv t0 bows and '
flourishes. We exchanged cards. The
next day 1 called to inquire for made- ]
moiselle, and was greeted as though I !
were an old friend; in fact, I became an
intimate of the cottage, and soon learned
the history of the inmates. The old gen
tlcman was M. Vernet, the second hus
band of the youug ° lady’s mother. Both
adies were C0 UQtrv women . The ]
younger bore the name of Letty Linnet,

She sighed as she spoke, but when I
took her hand in mine again she did not
forbid me.
“It that love is a thing of the past,” I
said, “why should it matter? I? it?”
She once more hesitated, lifted her
eyes to mine, cast them down agaiu and
answered:
“I cannot say.”
“Do you mean that you do not wish
to say?” I asked.
“No,” she replied. “Lender the cir
eiuflstance I ought to be perfecily candid
with you. It depends on something 1
; shall never be sure about. I—I don't
i know mv duty, or rather—I think I will
i tell you the whole truth.”
I “Do*" I said.
“Six years ago. when I was seven
! teen.” said Letty, “mamma, who had
] been a widow a long while, married M.
I Vernet. To pass away the honeymoon
j they went hotel, into the country, aud stopped
at H an old family mansion, verv
I quaint and curious, with old furniture

i once stopped there, Mr. Deering."
\ “Of course he did.” said I. “That
■ poor old man was always stopping at old
| mansions.”
“Well, we were there, at all events ”
continued Lettv; “and mv step-father—
dear old gentleman!—was wrapped
in his own happiness, and I was left to
do pretty much as I chose. I used to
take a book and sit on the bank of the

was very fond of fishing, used to bring

“No I said, feeling rather

I‘felt somewhat, relieved.
“A little bald,” she added; “but it
was becoming; and he was such an
agreeable person to talk with. I felt in
those days a sense of loss in regard to
mamma. She had a right to marry, of
course; but still—”
“I understand,” said I.
“And I felt glad to find some one who
always wanted me, and wheu one day
he proposed—by letter—I accepted
him.”
I dropped her hand.
“Of course, as he wrote, I had to
write also,” proceeded Lettv. “I ac
.cepted him, and when the note was
written I called a little waiter and told
him to take it to Mr. Whitmore, and I
saw the boy open the door of the room
that was his and go in; and, of course,
I expected that he would come to me by
the river, as usual, next morning, but he
did not. I did not see him that day or
the next; on the third he left the hotel,
After lie was gone I looked at my offer
again, and found that I had missed the
postscript, which was on the other side of
the page. It said; “If you cannot say
yes, I will not give you the pain of say
ing no. I will understand your silence
as a negative. But long suspense will be j
more than I can bear. Give me my an- !
swer at once, I pray you.’ Then,” said
Letty, “I began to'understand that if
he did not get my letter he must think
that I had refused him. I did not know
what to do. I could not write and say
I had accepted him, because I saw the
boy carry the letter into his room: and I
was very unhappy, and grew really ill.
That is one reason why my step-father
came back to France. He thought it
was consumption, and thinks he saved
my life. But I shall never feel mv con

jilted but then me. I That could would be him mortifying; j

wheu I think that perhaps he is break

handkerchief to her eyes—“then I feel
that it is a duty I owe to Mr. Dudley

“Mr. Dudley said*she; Whitmore!” I gasped. |
“Yes,” “that was his name;

“No,” I answered. It was the truth :

not the whole truth. At that moment,

I kissed Letty's hand and arose from

I said, “and answer me in a day or two?

The Great Waste of Timber.
At the annual meeting of the Carriage
Builders’ National Association held at
Syracuse, N. Y., the most important re
port made was that on timber supply. In
the report of the committee attention was
called to the second growth in white ash,
the scarcest of all the Woods used in the
construction of carriages and wagons,
The supply was being heavily drawn upon
ui other industries, and the outlook with
regard to it was .very discouraging. As
to old-growth ash the situation was but
little better, although it was obtainable
in much larger quantity. There would
be enough ol it to last for many genera
tions were it not for the fact that it was
so extensively used for the interior finish
ing of houses and for cabinetwork. The
large old-growth oaks of the South would
make an excellent substitute for ash, and
in some respects would prove superior to
it. The supply of whitewood was’ very
abqpdant at the present time, but like the
old-growth ash, it was being cut up at a
tremendous rate for house-finishing pur
poses. Basswood was found in nearly all
tlie timber States of the Union, and,
should necessity require, it would make a
good substitute for whitewood in the
manufacture of carriages. For hickory,
0!J the other hand, the most important of
a11 carriage timbers, there was no good
substitute in all the world. It grew only
m a tew of the States and a small part of
Canada. White oak, important in the
manufacture of wagons, was one of the
most abundant of all the timbers used.
Like old-growth ash and whitewood, it,
was being extensively employed in car
pentry and for a thousand other purposes,
but the supply was so great that there was
noi occasion for alarm in that fact,
As to the waste of timber the commit
tee report : “It seems incredible that
there should be any place in this country
where good timber was considered a
nuisance, aud the land worth more with it
°® than with it on. Yet such is the case
ad through the South, in the heavily
wooded districts, Uncleared land is
worth only from to -$4 per acre, while
cleared of its timber it sells for from $10
to per acre. This leads to a destruc
tiou of trees by a method called ‘deaden
]U g,' by chopping into the trees all round,
at a convenient distance from the ground,
thus killing them; and there they stand,
silent witnesses of an unwise and destme
tive policy. The extent to which this is
done i« surprising. Thousands of acres
°f timber are thus sacrificed every year,
not m the South only, for in the State of
Ohio we have seen as fine hickories as ever
grew thus destroyed.”
