In the light of the moon, by the side of the

My soat on the sand and her seat on ray

We watch the bright billows, do I and my
daughter,
My sweet little daughter Louise
We wonder what city the pathway of
glory,
That broadens away to the limitless west,
Leads up to— she minda her of some pretty
story,
And says: “To the city that mortals
love best.”
Then I say: “It must lead to the far away
city,
The beautiful City of Rest.”
In the light of the moon, by the side of the
water,
Stand two in the shadow of whispering
trees,
And one loves my daughter, my beautiful
daughter,
My womanly daughter Louise.
She steps to the boat with a touch of his
fingers,
And out on the diamonded pathway they
move;
The shallop is lost in the distance, it lin

It waits, but 1 know that its coining will
prove
That it went to the walls of the wonderful
city,
The magical City of Love.
In the light of the moon, by the side of
the water,
I wait for her coming over the seas;
I wait but to welcome the dust of my
daughter,
To weep for my daughter Louise.
The path, as of old. reaching out in its
splendor,
Gleams bright, like a way that an angel
has trod ;

When in 1852 Lieutenant T. II
Simpson, of the United States army
gave to the world the first detailed de
scription of the vast ruined pueblos of
New Mexico, and of the other pueblos
still occupied, he did not know that he
was providing the means for rewriting
all the picturesque tales of the early
conquerors. All their legends of Cis
atlantic emperors and empires were to
he read anew in the light of that one
discovery. These romances had been
told in go*d faith, or something as near
it as the narrator knew, arid the tales
had passed from one to another, each
building on what his predecessor had
laid down. The accounts were accept
ed with little critical revision by mod
ern writers; they filled _ the attractive
pages of Prescott; even Hubert Ban
croft did not greatly modify them; but
the unshrinking light of anew theory
was to tsansform them all. And with
them were to be linked also Stephen’s
dreams of vast cities, once occupied ly
an immense population, and now re
maining only as unexplored ruins ausid
the forests of Central America. The
facts he saw were confirmed, hut his
impressions must be tested by a wholly
new interpretation. And, aftei all,
these various wonders were odlv to be
exchanged for new marvels, as inter
esting as the old ones, and far more in
tclliiiihle and coherent.
From the publication of Lewis 11.
Morgan’s remarkable essay, entitled
‘■Montezuma’s Dinner,” in tha North
American Review for April. 1876, the
raw interpretation took a definite form.
The vast accumulation of facts in re
gard to the early American races then
began to be classified and simplified;
and, with whatever difference of opin
ion as to details, the general opinion
of scholars now inclines to the view
which, when Morgan first urged it,
was called startling and incredible
That view is still a theory, aslDarwin's
"origin of species” is still a theory; hut
Morgan’s speculations, like Darwin’s,
have begun anew era for the scionce
to which they relate. He thinks that
there never was a prehistoric Ameri
can civilization, properly so called, but
only an advanced and wonderfully
skillful barbarism, or semi-civilization
at the utmost. The aboriginal races,
except perhaps the Eskimo, were es
sentially one in their social structure,
he holds, however varying in develop
ment. There never wa3 an Aztec or
(ESTABLISHED /-V THE YEAH. 18i’.5).
Maya empire, but only a league* of free
tribes, apoointing their own chiefs.and
accepting the Bauio general modes of
organization, based on consanguinity,
that have prevailed among all the more
advanced families of North A o3ol ' o - 10
Indians. Montezuma was nol an em
peror,and had no palace, hut he lived
in the great communal dwelling of his
tribe, where he was recognized and
served as head. The forests of Yucatan
held no vast ci ies—cities who.-u pal
aces remain, while the humble dwell
ings of the poor have perished—but
only pueblo towns, in whose vatt com
munal structures the rich and tie poor
alike dwelt. There are questions
enough left unsolved in American
archaeology, no doubt, but the solution
of this part of the problem has now
been proposed in intelligible terms, at
least; and it lias been rapidly followed
up by the accurate researches of Mor
gan and Putnam and Bandolier. —
[Harper’s Magazine.
Tlie Kiim-Wuzzler lleapienrs.
Philadelphia, July IS.—The
Record will publish an article to-mor
row morning, giving Geueral Grants
opinion on the Eastern question,which
is in effect that he sides with the
English in the controvercy. He says
that the people of Egypt are ten times
worse off than the negroes of the
South, and he believes that an English
protectorate would help to develop the
resources of the country and improve
the condition of its people.
It doesn’t require any argument to
prove that Grant has just as much
right as any other man in the Unitca
States to gi e his “opinion on the
Eastern question.” We are not g"mg
“■ Ji.-pnto the old bummer’? i|> c
extract that excites our attention is
the ludicrousness of the idea that
Grant should be supposed to know any
thing about the Eastern quastion. We
venture the assertion that there isn’t a
public man in the United State? that
knows less about it than U- S. Grant.
So far as concerns the questions of in
ternational law involved in the matter,
it is fair to say that lie knows no more
about them than Sitting Bull knows of
the doctrines of Confucius. This
country has reason to remember the
midnight darkness that reigns in the
mind of the old bummer in this very
matter of rights as between different
nations. He could just as learnedly
talk on the plan of salvation or the at
tributes of the Deity, as on the rela
tions existing between England anu
Egypt, and the bearings which those
relations will have oa the commercial
interests of other countries. It looks
like a huge joke when Dr. Grant
squares himself and settles his old car
cass down in an easy chair, to talk on
any question of greater depth than
that of the relation* of the whisky ring
to his administration. We can imagine
no other question on which he would
be so apt to be posted, and a ne on
which he would be so likely to become
enthusiastic, and drop into poetry,after
the manner of Silas Wegg. He might
manage to get in some new ideas on
•‘Black Friday;” and he might be ab’e
to record an unwritten chapter or so on
the relations of fc't. Domingo to the
United States—that is to say, the rela
tions which he once proposed should
exist; but it is simply ludicrous to
suppose that he knows anything at ail
about Egypt —past, present, or to come.
It is possible that he may have
heard of Pharaoh and the Nile and
Moses in the bulrushes, and a few
other matters of no greater purport or
significance; but to suppose that he
cau shed anything but darkness on the
controversy that is now distracting the
oountry of the pyramids, is to be guilty
of a misapprehension of the calibre of
the old bummer--violent enough to
bring the offending party into contempt
among all thinking men. Grant ought,
by a; 1 means, to get out a second edis
tioD of Wegg’s “Decline and Downfall
of the Rooshan Empire.” When he
goes beyond such a venture as that, he
will be a? completely out of his element
as he would be under the shade of the
trees in Paradise.
We are not surprised to learn that
‘■he sides with the English in the con
troversy.’’ Who could ever expect U
S. Grant to do leas than side with the
strong against the weak ? Show us a
man whose record is made up of
drunkenness and violence, and we will
guarantee that hls sympathies will al
ways range themselves on the side of
power, be the cause what it may. It
is not strange that England's robber
methods meet the approbation of the
patron of earpet-bagism and scalawag
ism in the South.
But there is a ludicrous phase of
this question here also. The pompous
cld bum-guzzler struts forth before the
public —before the gaze of the world,
as he supposes, and says, in effect: “I
indorse the course of the British gov
ernment, so that settles the matter. —
Let the British and their American
mercenary troops move forward. If
the Egyptians resist, let them be put
to the sword. 1 ' The vanity of the old
Hessian is equalled only by his ignlr
an ce and brutality. Outside of all
serious considerations involved in this
matter, it must be admitted that the
old bum-guzzler has made room for a
"uffaw or two in the very midst of the
C
complications. Let the old Balaamite
be rubbed down and led back into his
stable. —[Telegraph k Messenger.
A MAY RESOKI’.
A fiisjusasor Home in easy
ICcaeli r Augustin.
[Evening News.]
Augusta people, and other good
looking visitors from any part of
the country, who desire to spend a
quiet and delightful summer, will,
bv next season, have opened for
them a splendid hotel and cottages
at Union Point. The nnnounce-
the front as a summer resort will
surarise many people who have al
ways regarded it as a tiresome
place to wait for trains, but we
venture to say that a realization of
the scheme will be received with
greater joy by none than the pa
tient travelers of the past Indeed
the transformation ever, as a wait
ing station from the rough saloon
and ragged car to a lovely hotel
will be a groat joy, hut to see the
Point a place of union of bright
faces, health seekers and merry
revellers will be a paradise.
All this will be done, and Mr.
Jas. F Ilart, who is now making
fame and fortune by giving the
best meals ever spread on the old
Georgia Road, at his temporary
shanty on tlie bluff, has already
laid the foundation for a fine hotel,
to which cottages will bo attached
The abrupt and uninviting bluff,
well known to travelers, and upon
which bis temporary eating bouse
now stands, will be cut down and
graded its whole length, miking
the rise to the top of the blcff grad
ual and by easy stages. The effect
iof the scene will be beautified by
!sodded terraces, and the hotel at
tho top of the eminence will bo an
inviting situation.
No resort is perfect, of course,
until it has a spring. Union Point
ngain steps forward with a enco fa-,
mous spring, which, in tho old
days, was a favorite stopping place
for Savannah families and the low
country people. This spring is a
litlo out of town, but in easy reach
It is known now as Daniels' Spring,
but in the olden times the curative
qualities of Grant Springs were
famous. Tho Springs will ho ’ the
object of little excursions, and with
a pretty hotel kept by a princely
host like Mr. Hart, and trains
from Augusta, Atlanta and Athens
joining the gathering hosts, this
will be in fact as well as name a
glorious Union Point.

“Is this your first appearance in
a court of j ust ice ?” asked the Aus
tin recorder of a vagrant.
“No, judge, it is the last time
thus far—how is it with yourself?"
“Do vou know,” remarkel an
Austin grocer to Col. Fizzl top,
“that eggs contain five times nore
nourishment than any other rind
of food?”
“I expect so. You can go “ith-j
out eating threo days after only
smelling one of them. There is
no other food quit? os ndurisli’.ng
as that.”
“How much rent do you piy?’
asked Gilhooly of llostetter Mc-
Ginnis.
“Twenty-five dollars.”
“Isn't that a little high $r a
place like Afustin?”
“Yes, it is a little high for sum
mer, but the place has a goed
cedar fence around it, an 1 I cal
culate to save forty dollars this
winter in firewood, so that will
bring the rent down’ to a reasona
ble figure.”

S Percy Yerger, who was reading a
j paper.
“What have they been stealing
now?” asked Gus D. idrnith.
“Well, it says here that during
the bombardment, a part of the
j tower of Fort Pharos was carried
away. They ought to be made to
bring it back.”
“They stole more than that.”
“What else dtd they steal ?” ask
ed Col. Yerger, who is one of the
mo3t intelligent citizens of Austin
“’] hoy stole a march on the
English by getting out of range
under a flag of truce.”
An Austin gentleman was afflic
ted with some bad neighbors, so be
told his children to make all the
noise and deviltry they could, bis
idea being to compel the bad neigh
bor te move away’. The children
cursed, swore, threw stones, and
perpetrated all manner of deviltry,
until the neighbors actually did
leave in disgust. One of tlie little
boys, who was competing for a
prize at Sunday school, came to
his father and said;
“Now we have driven off all the
neighbors, ain’t you going to let us
quit swearing ar.d throwing rocks,
and let us behave ourselves again.’
“Yes, my hoys, but don’t run
it into the ground.”
A touching illustration of the
fact that soft hearts are to be found
under rough jackets, is to be found
in the following incident :
A couple of tramps met an Aua
l tin clergyman not far from his
| bouse, and applied to him for a vol
untary contribution, as they were
hungry and without a cent of mo
ney. The kind hearted clergyman
listened to their tale of woe, and
then with a moist eye and a lump
in his throat, gave thern each a
silver half dollar, for which they
expressed their gratitude; but he
was hardly out of hearing when
one of the sufferers said to the oth
er in a low, deep voice full of gra
titude and the smell of v hisky;
“That’s another one of them
thieving aristocrats who are steal
ing tho bread out of our children s
mouths.”
( XX. T. LEI?7IS,
( EDITOR.
“Yes,” responded the other 1 ,
looking at the half dollars.
“If he hd fo work for his money
as we hnVe t'n, lie wouldn’t havo so
many half dollars to throw away.”
What they said and did where
on trying to change the money,
they were toTd it was counterfeit.-
can better be imagined triad de
scribed. It is very difficult to con 1 -
ciliate the laboring classes any
how.
French Idea of Women.
Women have no worse enemies
than wo’u’en
. One must be a woman to know
how to revenge.
Woman conceals only what she
does not know.
Woman is a creature between
man and the angels
Woman i more constant in ha*
tied than in love.
Most women curse sin before
embracing penitence.
Women who have not fine teeth
only laugh with their eyes.
Friendship between women is
only a suspension of hostilities.
Women ask if a man is discreet,
| as men ask if a woman is pretty,
When woman is no longer at-
I tractive she ceases to be incon
stant.
Women never weep more bitter
ly than when they weep for spite.
The most chaste woman may be
i the most voluptuous, if she loves.
When a woman can not be r;--
vended they do as children do;
A woman and her servant, act
ing in accord, would cutwit a doz
en devils.
A woman gives the audacity
which her benn'y prompts ug to
be guilty of.
Women like balls and assemblies
as a Knnter likes a place where
game abonttds.
Woman is a charming creature,
who changes her heart as easily as
her gloves.—[Ex.
