The Devil's Visit to Washington.
The Devil sat on his sulphur throne.
And heard with a bi'ter grin
Reports fr^>m the planet he deemed hi: own,
As his black subs brought them in.
| The Fenian scare in Great Britain pleased
His cynical temper well;
: And the news from Brazil and Paraguay,
From Hayti, Pern and 9*sil B y,
Not forgettirg the late Chinese affray,
Rather tickled the King of Hell.
|
But when his scouts of this “Happy Land”
Delivered their dark report,
The Demon waved in the smoke his hand,
And gave a triumphant snort.
“ This news,” he yelled, “ is the best I've heard
Since sin on earth begaa;
The work I favor goes bravely on,
The 4 Model Republic ' is dead and gone.
And the powers that govern at Washington
Have adopted my patent plan.”
Then turning to Moloch, His Darkness said,
“ I’m off for the Ten Mile Square;
Rule thou, old boy, in thy master’s stead,
While I see to business there.”
The blackamoor carriers, one and all,
Applauded their chief like mad ;
So he charged his shape, as the Devil can,
And up to earth on a fire streak ran,
In outward seeming a Congressman,
Of the lovely genus Rad.
Of course his Blackness was well received
By his troop of special friends,
Who laid before him the plans conceived
To compass their private ends.
Thad. Stevens, Sumner and old Ben Wade,
Ned Stanton and Butler, too,
They told him of dodges, plots and schemes,
Atrocious beyond bis foulest dreams,
Until he exclaimed, “For me, it seems,
There’s nothing on earth to do.”
So he turned on his heel and went his way,
A sadder, a wiser sprite,
Observing, “ A lesson I’ve learned to-day
That has changed my purpose quite.
I meant to have had these fellows’ souls,
When from earthly bonds set free;
But I now prefer they should go it alone,
In a separate, private hell of their own,
For I swear by my horns and tail and throne,
They’re a little too much lor me.”
From the Southern Christian Advocate.
Vesuvius.
^ Letter from Dr. Lipscomb to the Senior Class,
University of Georgia.)
To Dr. W. Louis Jones, and the Senior Class:
GcniUmcn: I have just returned from a par
tial asceut of Vesuvius. As some account of
tills excursion may be interesting to yon, and j
especially so in connexion with your study of I
Geology, I have concluded to write you a briefj
descriptive letter. Cut I must forewarn you j
that I am very much fatigued, and 1 fear j
scarcely competent to give you such a narra- j
tive as I desire.
Vesuvius, as you are aware, is the most ac- j
tive volcano in the world. Rising from*the
midst of the plaiu of Campania to an elevation |
of about 4,000 feet, it is finely situated to give
a full and complete impression of its grandeur
to the eye of a spectator. Ou the north and ,
east are the Appenines, yet sufficiently distant
not to interfere with tke solitude of Vesuvius.

stands Vesuvius, itself the sublimest feature
of the whole.
No doubt it surprises you that Vesuvius |
should be described as so singularly beautiful. ;
Certainly it astonished me in this respect. I
consider it the most graceful mountain in its
outline, in its serial curves, in its entire con- !
tour that I have ever seen. By night you j
merely get the spectacle of its awful grandeur. :
The fitful flame issuing from its cone, and the j
descending streams of lava winding around
and through the dark masses of previous erup- •
tions which cover the sides fronting towards,
Naples, give it an aspect of mysterious terror.
While this appearance is not overpowering,
yet it is unrelieved by those softer attributes
which contribute so much to its symmetrical
and flowing shape. Seen by day, its immense
base, its rounded regularity, its towering cone, j su bJtance'’tinged with yehow,’lay upon the

it looks as if robed in dark velvet. I have j

beauty shows to the best advantage. The i

moments from the fatigue, and the zest of the j
hour returned upon me with a quickening vi- |
tality. Hard by another variety of the scene ]
caught my attention. It was a vent in the
form of a funnel, the rocks having been thrown
together so as to construct a sort of chimney,
and presenting a singular imitation of regular
ity iu tbe midst of tbe broken and confused
masses everywhere visible. Approaching it as
closely as possible, I tried to look down into
the apperture, and so far succeeded as to have
an instant’s glance at the glowing furnace,
which was quite enough for my eyes, if not
for my cariosity. Around the top, a whithh

A Smart Quaker.
Mr. K', the Quaker president of a Pennsyl
vania railroad, during the confusion some
years since, called upon the W bank, with
which the road kept a large regular account,
and asked for an extension of part of its paper
falling due in a few days. The
declined rather abruptly, saying in a rough
tone to that functionary:
“ Mr. K., your paper must be paid at matu
rity ; we enunot renew it.”
••Very well,” our Quaker friend replied, and
left the bank.
But he did not let the matter rest ber». On
leaving the bank, he went quickly to the depot,
and telegraphed to all agents and conductors
on the road to reject the W— bank. In a few
hours the trains began to arrive, full of panic, i
and briag news of the distrust of the W j
bank alGalong tbe line. Stockholders and
depositors flocked to the bank quaking with {
panic, inquiring thus:
41 What is*the matter? Is the bank broke?" j
A little inquiry by the officers showed that ;
the trouble originated in the rejection of the j
bills on the railroad. The president seized his I
hat and rushed down to the Quaker’s office, j
and came bursting in with the inquiry:
4( Mr. K-, have you directed the refusal of i
our currency by your agents ?”
“ Yes,” was the quiet reply.
‘‘Why is this? it will rnitrns.”
“ Weil, friend L., 1 supposed the bank was 1
going to fail, ns it could cot renew a little pa- •
per for us this morning.”
It is needless to sav Mr. L. renewed all the i
white smoke ascends with a genile and easy
motion, sometimes sailing off in widening folds
and then again pausing over the cone and
arching its volume until it resembles a mag
nificent plume bending over that royal head.
But while realizing the beauty of Vesuvius,
I bad received some other impressions not
bunk pre/ident i quite so consonant with tbe pleasures of art.
ing in a rough j A visit to Pompeii had brought its tremendous
power home to my heart in a very practical
manner. After that memorable.dpy amid the
houses of the excavated city, I confess that
the Mount of Fire began to concentrate its
terrible force upon my thoughts at the expense
of my former .esthetic sentiment. Both views
were true I consoled myself with believing.—
And quite alive to their mutuality of merit, I
started this morning to go up the mountain as
high as would be necessary to satisfy curiosity,
ambitiou, and the other, perhaps, better re
quisites oT a tourist’s nature.
Off we went through Naples, which, if it
can be translated from Italian into English,
means that we rode through more variegated
and diversified and multitudinous shapes of
life—through more uproar and uproars—thro'
more yells, and screams, and cracking of whips,
and jingling of bells, little and big, beiis C2
goats, bells on donkeys, bells on mules and
horses—through more beggary and rag^, and
the rags of rags, and tbe stitched-together
relics of the remains of the rags of rag3—and
through more brilliancy and even splendor—
than can be seen or heard anywhere out of
Naples.
We reached Resina, and forthwith began a
series of diplomatic performances that would
fill a letter. The amount of it was to get three
was the appearance of tbe lava precisely what
I bad expected. So far from its being a con
tinuous stream of fire, roaring and dashing
down the mountain, it is more like a slowly'
moving bed of coals; but when you thrust a
stick into it and open the external crust, you
immediately see tbe-blazing channel. The
extent of this fiery mass I had no means of
ascertaining; its breadth was represented to
me at 400 ieet. The entire surface from which
smoke was rising at the different points, was
estimated by a party present at 300 acres; but
such guesswork is extremely uncertain, and I
merely allude to them that you may have some
general idea of the burning volume.
Beyond this mass of grey and black lava
lying below the great coue, and interspersed
as just described with streaks and precipices
of fire, we made no effort to ascend. To toil
up a wall of ashes at an angle of forty-five
degrees and to a height of 1,500 feet, would | tjeventeen hundred bushels of wheat have been
1700 Bushels of Wheat Produced in Town.
An Athens, Ga., correspondent of the Macon
Telegraph writes thus of the Athens wheat
crcp:
“The magnificent silver pitcher offered by
the Athens Wheat Club, to the member who
should produce the greatest amount of wheat
on one acre, was yesterday presented to Mr. E.
Banctoft, who harvested forty-three bushels
and forty-three pouuds. It was generally
supposed that Dr. J.S. Hamilton would receive
this prize, but one of his freedmen, to make
success doubly sure, added six bundles of
wheat to the Doctor’s pile. Dr. H., getting
wind of this, refused to accept the medal,
though doubtless he deserved it. The quan
tity of wheat yielded by the worn out lauds in
and around Athens seems to have awakened
the people throughout thi3 section to the profit
to be derived from using fertilizers upon their
old lands, and it certainly demonstrates the
fact that this region is as well adapted to the
production of wheat as any part of the world.

the road the sedative message:

scarcely have repair the exertion, even if I
had the muscular strength for such a task.—
Instead of a romantic adventure of this sort, I
was sufficiently prosaic as well as hungry to
find as comfortable a seat as could be com-
! manded, and, to give you the whole story,
j toasted some bread by the coals, fried a piece
I of meat, ate both with a hearty relish, and
! then took something else from my pocnet and
i borrowed a coal from Vesuvius to light it.
Ou my walk back., to tbe place where our
| horses were left, I was more than ever impress-
! ed with the sublimity of the landscape. Such
1 a picture of desolation is-spread all around ;
j suck a concentionn of volcanic agency as these
vast piles presented; such contrasts between
j their former tumultuous hearings and their
still grandeur now;-these united to create an
image in my mind to which no past experience
furnishes a parallel. The history of eighteen
centuries, recording in language that cannot
be misunderstood, the power of Vesuvius, lay
right before me in an open page. Scarred and
seamed was that b»oad page; rifted, too, aDd
bleared; but its truths and their mighty mean
ings, who could pervert or who fail to feel, or
who need the aid of imagination to vitalize

the corporate limits of Athens, while the best

An hour afterwards, while the proprietor i

buyer returned, and this time tackled one of
the clerks with—
“I have got to buy some gin to-day and if
you have a first rate article I should like to
see a sample of it,”
Another large sized tumbler full was forth

The Two-Thirds F.ule to be Abandoned’
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette states that at a Democratic gath
ering in that city this two-thirds rule wa3
discussed:
“ It was contended that whatever conside
rations in by-gone days might have been urged
in its favor, time had demonstrated that its
observance had rather distracted than cement
ed the party. Tbe inevitable tendency of its
adoption now would be to defeat the will of
the majority. A third of the members of the
Convention—belonging to the odds and end3
of personal cliques—under it3 operation have
tbe power either to force an objectionable can
didate upon the party or to disrupt the organ
ization. Its inauguration in 1844 laid the
foundation for tbe schism between tbe North
ern and Southern wing of the Democratic
party, and finally in I860 led not only to the
disruption of the only national party then ex
isting, but, as a necessary consequence, to
sectional warfare. There cannot at this day
be a single sound reason advanced in favor of
its continuance, and. in the opinion of wise
heads, it should be formally abandoned as soon
as the 4ih of July Convention assembles. As
a substitute, it was thought at the gathering
referred to a rule preliminary pledging every
member to abide by and support the choice
of a majority might answer all practicable
purposes.
