Annie *liel«loii*a I'resenl.
11V MAV'tl C.XNHOU.
It was Chri.-tmas eve, and along the
crowded Ihoroughfarca of the great eliy
Annie Sheldon was wending her way to
her cheerless boarding house, for no tnotli.
er’s kiss or father's grei-ling would welcome
la-r home. *
Annie was au orphan. Three years she
had toiled alone in the world.
Through the influence of a former friend
ol her father, she hud obtained a situation
in a store, hut at a salary so small, that she
found it dilliciilt to meet the expense ol
very moderate living.
I"| **n reaching home, she went immedi
ately to her n*>m, and sat down to think:
her worldly w ealth amounted to just seven
dollars —not etiough to settle her Indebted
nos*.
" Yes," she said to herself, “1 have now
li-i>nu*l the dilference lietweeii assets anil
liabilities, as the merchants say. Oh! if I
had some of the money that will la- wasted
during the holidays, 1 could obtain a few
comfort*, for luxuries and I parted rnni
|*ny yurs ago."
A knock at the door aroused tier from
her reverie. Flu- arose and opened it, and
the servant handed a caul, and announced
a gentleman.
“ Say to the gentleman, I will see him In
a few moments."
Closing the door,she glanced for the firsi
time at tie card, ami saw tlic name of "Ed
war I 11. Clayton, attorney nt-luw." The
name was not familiar to her.
"It must be some mistake," she said.
“ However, it is such n raru thing for h
gentleman to call on .Miss bhcldon, 1 will
call him Kris Kringle, as the children do,
and go down as usual to meet a disappoint
menL"
Entering the parlor, a young man arose
to meet her.
" Mi-* Sheldon, I Is-lleve»"
“ ll i-, and you are Mr. Clayton,” Annie
replied, still holding the card in her hand.
“ I am the bearer of plexsant news, Alin*
Sheldon. I have licen seeking you for
nearly six months, and, until yesterday,
could find no trace of you. I heard of your
father'* death while in Kur<>t>c with my
father, Judge Clayton. You have, doubt
less, heard your father S|a-ak of him, as they
were warm personal friemla. Previous to
my father's departure for Europe, your
fa'her placed some busin'** papers, secured
In Isnids, in my thtlier's care, for your ben
efit. My father died in Eim>i>c, and his
last request was that I should find yon and
deliver the pa|>crs to you. Their value
now, with interest, is twenty thousand dol
lars. and it give# me great pleasure to re
store them to you, as your rights, and to
fulfil iny lather’* request,"
Annie had listened with amavnient. It
•eeinisi n dream, or, indeed, a tale of fairy
land, and it was not until he placed In her
hand a paekv te of |wipers that ahe spoke to
thank him.
“ I cannot express to you my heartfelt
gratitude for your kindness, Mr. Clay ton.
1 thank you most sincerely, and shall ever
revere your father's memory a* that of my
father's truest friend. I hope you will
allow me to rejmy you for your trouble and
any pecuniary outlay."
“ Thank you : your acquaintance, Miss
Sheldon, would amply repay me, as I have
no relatives, and, as I have long been ab
sent, 1 find but few friends. Should you
wUh any legal advice or assistance, I sin
at your service. Have 1 your pcrmisaUm
to rail on you?"
“ I shall be glad to retain you a* a coun
sellor and friend, and shall be glad to see
yim whenever it is convenient to calL"
“ Thank you. Mite Sheldon; 1 will detain
you no longer. Allow me to wioh tliat
you may have a merry Chrutnuu, and,
good-night."
Six month* later Annie is much changed
in appearance. No longer careworn, the
, roses have come back to her cheeks. She
' i* not vain that she has wealth : her Strug- 1
j glc with the world has learned her many |
1 lemons of life, and the values not gold for
Its glitter, or fileo<i%for their high position.

A Ucnrgiu Negro'* Itcnsou* sot-
Voting ttio Kemoermti: T.ckei,
Yesterday 5 I heard an old negro
explaining to t few of his color his
reasons for having voted the Detno
crattic ticket- Said he, aa ho miulo
fleroo getiUtrMl with his woather-beatcii
hiuid. “Yes, \ m'rc right., 1 did vote
tlte Dvinocpat; ticket. It's the first
time I ever dU, and nulesu they run
this V«* * .aim-itt better than the
RndHtmlfftfi. it will be the Inst time,
I propose for t» try 'pm. Why I*
time* lmid, uni why .'tint thar no
money in the country ? The Radi
cals are playing bimedi, with every
tiling. I comtfeiiccd for to vote the
Kmlienl tiekef over two years ago,
and ever wined llmt time money lias
been getting career and scarcer, and
now I don’t sJk a ten dollar bill once
a month. I Imin’t got cents now
where I used th have dollar* when I
commenced fc* to vole the Radical
ticket. \V« iu|St have a change in
this here littsinSS, or we'll all go up,
white and bl.-tjk alike. Talk about
the Radical Iding friends to the col
ored men ! Any man with half of
one eye can set tliat they ain’t friend*
to ntty body Ink themselves. They’re
artcr the olliceiwliieh draws them big
pay and takes til Ibc money out of
tlte country, end mokes cotton go
down so tlmt a darkey can’t cam
enough in a ye»r to buy a hoe-cake
for Christmas. That’* wlmt they do.
Who lent me a mule last summer to
finish my crop when mine had broke
his leg trying to get over the feme?
Was it a Radical? No they’ll have
see’d my crop go to weed* afore they’d
have did it. Fact la, mighty few of
them have got any mule* to lend. It
was a 1 'emoernt who came to me and
says: ‘Joe, you’ve bad bad luck;
you will lose all your work unless you
can get n nag to finish your crop.
(Jo to my stable and get that old
mulo that's blind in one eye, and pay
me what’* right for her when the crop
is Hindu.’ 1 paid him up like a man.
wiieii I was itch toot cummer, and
didn't have n bite in the house who
brought nit: the hunk of linen it ? It
was tills ’ere Hatae Dcmorcnt, and now
when he wants my vote lie can get it.
A man who slicks up to me, I’ll stick
up to him all the time," and so saying
the ancient negro walked oil’, leaving
his little circle of li toners to comuiont
upon his speech and digest bis wis

Bmul or Mi nt.
The Parisians are exercising their
minds over a curious problem, name
ly, whether it is ccoiiimicul to cal
bread or to use it for production of
horse beef. Forage ha* become so
scarce tliat many valuable horses arc
fed on bread. This use «•' human
food has been pronounced scandalous
in some quarters, while on the other
hand, it is argued that if the horses
are slain now the chances for fresh
meat in the future are destroyed.
The question is not quite so simple.
A horse will yield a certain immer ol
pounds of meat. Now, will the bread
required to keep that horse in the
same condition, say for thirty day,
be wasted ? The Parisians arc not
out of fresh meat now ; but iu thirty
'lays they ntny 1*!, and at the expira
tion of that time will the carcass of
the horse lie of enough more value to
them than it is now to compensate for
the loss of the bread required to sus
tain the horse during the given time?
Hydrophobia.
Tim Pulaski (N. Y.) Democrat re
lates the particular* of the singular
death of one Major King, of the town
of Roylston, from hydrophobia. It
appear* that about forty years ago
Mr. King was severely bitten by a
mad dog, which had no apparent
effect upon him until within tlte past
four weeks, when lie first seemed to
act strangely. For a few days he
ap|>earcd melancholy, and on .Mon
day, the 12th instant, after telling hi*
sou he “ was going to do something, ’’
he threw off his hat and coat, ran to
a [Kind near by, and, jumping in, en
deavored to drown himself llis son
followed him and succeeded in get
ting him out, and induced Idm to re
turn to the bouse. When within a
short distance, he tore itiuiKcli away,
returned again, and threw himself
into the pond. By this time some of
the neignbors who had witnessed the
strange proceedings arrived, and witii
their assistance lie was secured and
brought home. The paroxysm lasted
aiiout five hour*, when he became
rational and requested the bystanders
not to allow him to hurt anybody.
He remained in this condition for
eighteen houra, when another spasm
succeeded, and after auilcriiig terribly
until Friday night, death came to his
relief.

Outrage in fimi<lcra.r)|!ti, G cunt In.
The Savannah Republican, of Fri
day, has tlic following:
A gentleman who left Sandcrsville
yesterday morning inform* us of nn
occttrrauce in that place Wednesday
night that cal!* fur the sternest popu
lar condemnation and the utmost ef
forts on the part of the public- outhor
ities to bring tho |*'i {Klrators to pun
ishment.
It seems that an unknown party of
men, tlic l umber ol' whom our infor
mant. did not learn, called at a private
residence in Sandt-rn iHe between nine
and ten o'clock and inquired for Mr.
J. G. Gallalicr, a lawyer at that place,
who, with Ills family, *a* boarding
at the house. Ms. Gallalicr, (inspect
ing no evil, went out into the street,
when lie was seized and taken some
mile and a half into the country,
when iUv party batten ana or#cn«t
him tolollow'niie'of their num'iei mo
tile woods. This lie declined doing,
and requested them, if they intended
to kill hint, to do it right then, and in
the road. While disputing about the
mutter, Gallalicr, seizing what lie
thought was his only opportunity, ran
for hi* life, Iml had proceeded Imt a
few paces when a volley of bullet* was
fired at him, one of which passed
through his left and only arut, nnd
another, entering liis back near the
spine, passed out at hi* side, some
what tu front. Upon receiving this
last shot, lie fell senseless, and there
lay, for Imw long a time he is tumble
to say. On recovering bis conscious
ness, no signs of tlic marauders could
be seen. They had doubtless believed
him dead, and made their escape,
liewildered, Major (i.-illuhor -for lie
was nn nllleorand lost hi* right arm
in the Confederate service—took the
direction leading from town instead
of homewards, and alter proceeding a
mile or two, came to a farm house
w lu-re he was taken in, kindly provi
ded for, ami u messenger despatched
■to town for a physician and his wife.
Tlic former returned yesterday morn
ing, and thinks, while the wound in
the side is dangerous, it is not iieees
sarially fatal. The citizens of San
dersviile are wlioly ill a loss how to
account for the outrage.
Tlniis In smiilt tnrollnii.
A rorsTA, January 7 -The follow
ing ia condensed from a special to tlic
Cttaricston Courier;
A serious trouble has occurred In
Union District, .South Carolina. A
one-armed while ntan named Stevens
was shot and killed on tlic roadside
by the militia, for refusing to Mipply
them with whisky. Tho citizens ar
rested and imprisoned five of the
minderers. Subsequently a band ot
armed men took jiossesMion of the
town and carried tin- prisoners from
the jail to the scene of the murder
mid shot two of them. The other
three escaped. Elliott Walker nnd
Charley Gordon are the names of
those murdered hy the disguised par
ty. Walker was captain of a militia
company in Union. A mimlier of
prominent citizens of Marion, renre

Governor Scott, who is absent at the

COBipnriMltlo I’roflts of Cotton
arid time f'nltitio.
A correspondent writes ti* from
Fine Grove, JcUI-I'hoii county, the re
sults of nn experiment iu the cultiva
tion of cotton and sugar cane, giving
tho cost and relative profits of each
crop, lie planted six and a half
acres of cottou nnd estimates the cost
of working, picking, hauling ami gin
ning at $17 —the yield being fif.fi
pound* of dean cotton, which, at Ift
cents a pound, amounts to
showing a profit of $52,90. Os canc
lie planted one and u half acres, and
estimates the cost of seed, manure,
planting, working, cutting, binding,
grinding and boiling at s9o tlic yield
being 12 barrell* of sugar, averaging
200 pounds each, 5 barrels of syrup,
150 gallons, and 15 barrel Is of molas
ses, 130 gollotis, w hich, at 18 cents a
pound for tlic sugar, and 75 cents n
gallon for the syrup and molassse,
amounts to $O3l 50, showing a profit
of ssll 50.
These figures appear rather incred
ible, but our oorrcsjHindcnl assures
u* they arc correct. I lore we have
an acre and a half us caue yielding
a net profit of SIBB fiO, more than n r
and a half acre* in colion / Our cor
respondent, we think, estimate* Id*
sugar and syrup too high, imt put
ting them at the minimum price, wo
still have a large amount over the
profits of the cotton.— Floridian.
