Letter to tli© .Journal.
Jancabt 20, 1873,
Editor or tse McDuffie Journal : I am truly
glad to see at your mast-head, the name of Mr.
Stephens for Represenative from the Eighth—
his old Eighth—which has so often delighted to
honor him. I hope he will consent to serve the
people, and that they will have the good sense to
electhim unanimously, without auy opposition from
any quarter, from any party or any race or natlvi.
ty. I feel sure the republicans will offer no antag
onist, and, if he raeetsopponents, he must find them
in the ranks of his own party, among those who,
claiming tW. same fuith, have wandered off recent
ly after strange gods.
It is unnecessary for me to say to you that I am
not a partisan of Mr. Stephens, nor do I agree
tvith him in many of his political opinions.
Neither are my personal relations of such intimacy
as might warp my judgement. Infact, I think,
and have long thought, that we have had too much
of mere party for our o«u good—for our real
and best interests as a people. Divided and beat
en at the ballot-box twelve years ago; beaten fi
nally in t '!• field of arms when the last roar of o m
non died away at Appomattox ; in a hopeless mi
nority, it has seemed to me the true wisdom to
conciliate, certainly not to exasperate that domi
nant sentiment of the Republic which, right or
wrong, moulds our destinies, and will, probably,
for years to come. It is time we let wrangling go
as unprofitable, and address ourselves manfully to
our great material interests.
In this juncture I believe Mr. Stephens can do
us more real good than any dozen men in Georgia.
Mature in years and in wisdom and experience;
calm, self-centred, impartial, capable, faithful and
hones', having the entire confidence of his own
people, and the respect of the whole nation, in
cluding the opposite party and its great Chief, his
appearance at Washington as a Represenativo from
Georgia would do more towards peace and recon
ciliation and fraternal good-will than the election
of a hundred Horace Greeleys. I greatly desired
that he should go to the Senate, as that is consid
ered a higher honor, and the term of office is much
longer. But really the true place for the States
man and the Parliamentarian is in the House.
There Mr. Stephens has shown his magnificent
powers to best advantage, and in the old field
may he do the like again.
I do not mean to disparage any other candidate
in writing these hasty lines. lam well satisfied
with our present Representative, Gen. Dußose, a
gallant and good man, ever attentive to our inter
ests, by character and association a gentleman,
well calculated to win friends—at least not make
enemies for us. But I doubt not he wall concur
with the vast majority of his constituency in urg
ing Mr Stephens at present for the potltion. If
Mr. Stephens refuses then I desire no change

Can tiie dead birds ever waken
To the life of song once more—
Gan the drooping flower . beckon
As they did in the days of yore—
Can the Soft winds ever fold ns
Where no chilling storms can blight;
Gan the sunshine ever hold us
Safely from the threatening night ?”
Will the Vanished dreams of 'childhood
Cluster round us once again
Will the shadows on the wild wood
Mark where better years have lain—
Will the old days ever meet us
With their fact; of roguish play—
Will our dead hopes come to greet us
In the heaven far away?
Ah! they iriay for songs of sadness
Die with all the passing hours,
While the joyous spring of gladness
Calls to life the hurried flowers.
Though the still hands lia as humbly
On a dear one’s pulseless breast,
Still our heaven watches humbly
O’er the prec.ous dreamless rest.
And like organ music pealing
Where its tlninders crash along,
The soft vox hmnana stealing
Makes the wondrous worldless song;
So through ali the fitful fever
Os each sad and weary day,
Mingles subtle sweetness ever,
From the land not far away.

My WiltiVllriiiul Tour—The
U<;wt Way to Mauaffeja \\ i (e
—Advice to Young M <ll.
IFiien I married my second wife, she
was dreadful set about going off on a
bridal tour. I told her she had better
wait six months or a year and I'd go
with her, and she said she had rather go
alone—when a woman is traveling, a
man is an out-and-out humbug. Sol
gave her seventy-five cents, and told
her to go and have a good time. I nev
er begrudge money when my wife’s
happiness is concerned. My first wife
never could complain of not going any
where, lor I am dreadful fierce to go
off on a good time myself. I don’t pre
tend to say how many times I took her
out to see the sights; and there was no
end to the free lectures I let her go to.
The neighbors used to say. ‘lt beats
all how the Skinners do go !’
When the circus was in Skunkville,
the manager gave my wife a compli
mentary ticket. I not only sold the
ticket for my wife, but gave her half
the money. I don’t boast of it; but Only
mention it to show how much I thought
of her happiness.
I don’t think any man ollght to get
married Until he can consider his wife’s
happiness only second to his own. John
Wise, a neighbor of mine, did thusly,
and when I got married 1 concluded to
do likewise.
But the pain didn’t work in the case
of my second wife. No—l should say
not. I broached the subject kindly.
‘Matilda,’ said I, *1 suppose you are
aware that lam now your lord and
master V
‘Not much you ain’t,’ said she.
‘Mrs. Skinner,.’ said I *yoii are leat
fully disorganized. You sre cranky.’
And I brandished my new sixty cent um
brella wildly around her.
She took the Umbrella away from
me and locked me up in the clothes
press.
I am quick to draw an inference. I
drew here that I was not a success as
a reorganize? of of female worn men.
After this, I changed my tactics. /
let her have her own way ; and the
plan from the first, worked like a charm.
It is the best way of managing a wife
that I know of.
Os course this is between you and
me. it’s a secret worth knowing.
So, when my wife said she was bound
to go off on a bridal tour anyhow, I Cor
di dly assented.
‘Go, Matil la,’ said I, ‘and stay as
long as you want to, and then if you
feel as though you would like to stay a
little longer, stay, my dear.”
She told me to stop talking, attd go up
stairs and get her red Ham el night cap,
and that bag of pennyroyal for her aunt
Abigail. My wife is a smart woman
She was a Baxter—and the Baxters are
a smart family, indeed. Her mother,
who is going on eighty, can fry more
flapjacis now; that! half of those primp,
uptown girls wlio tittle oil the piano,
or walk the streets with their furbe
low's and fixings, pretending to get rliad
if a young chap looks at them very
bard, but getting mad in earnest it you
take no notice of them at all.
Ah ! girls ain’t what they u-ed to be
when I was young, and the fellows are
worsestill. When J went courtin, for
instance, I never thought of staying tili
ufrer ten o’clock, and only twice a
week. Now they go seven nights in a
week, and cry because there ain’t eight.
Then they write touching notes to each
other during the day—‘Dear George:
Do you love me as much as you did at
a quarter to twelve last night? Say
you do, dearest, and it will give me
courage to go dowui and tackle them
Cold beans, left over from yesterday.’
Let them get together and court, il
they like it—and I thini they do. J
was forty seven when l courted my se
cond wife, but, it seemed just as nice to
sit On a little cricket at her feet, and
let her smooth my hair, as it did thirty
years ago.
As I said before ,my wife was a smart
woman; but she couldn’t be anything
else an !be a Baxter. She used to give
lectures on woman’s rights, find in one
place where she lectured, a big college
Conferred the title of L. L. D. upon
her; But she wouldn.t take it. “No.
gentlemen,’ said she, ‘give it to the poor,
She was always just so charitable. She
gave her boys permission to go bare
footed all winter, and insisted on it so
much in her kind way that the boys
couldn’t refuse.
She fairly dotes upon my children,-
and Ive seen tier many a time go tor
their trows-ers’ pockets after they had
gone to sleep, and take out their pen
nies; and put them in her bureau drawer
—for tear they might lose them.
I started to tell you all about
wife’s bridal tour; but the fact is I never
could find out much about it myself. I
belive she had a good time; She came
back improved in health, and I found
out before she had been iu the house
twenty-four hours that she had gained
strength also, I don’t say how I found
out.
In Conclusion, I would say to all
young men, marry your sect nd wife first,
and keep out of debt by all ineuns, even
if you have to borrow the mony to do it,

Astounding*- Meumerie Power
A curious case of meunerisni is re
coid-d by the civil surgeon of Hoshun
gabad. A young woman named iVu-nn
ce, aged twenty-four, was married some
twelve years ago. She, h wever, did
not go to her husband’s house for two
years afterward. After staying with
him eight days she suddenly became in
sensible, and remained so for two or
TEEMS-TWO DOLLARS IN ADVANCE.
three dayF-, She was ta£en back to ber
mother and Soon got well. Then fol
low a remarkable history. During the
nekt fool- Olr five years she never etttufc
ed her husband’s hottse without SillinjJ
insensible and remaining so. fie was
very kind »nd attentive to her. Sh*
liked him, but wheuever he came into
her presence she at once tank iuto this
state. Tnis went on till she became
emaciated and exhausted, aid at luSfc
hei patents applied to the court fora
separate maintenance for her. WhiiO
she was in court the husbind ent red,
and shte iftstantly became insensible, and
was carried to the hospital, where the
case was carefully attended tU by Dr.
Cullen, in inarch, last year. While in
this state her pulse was even, breath
ing soft, her body pliant, but she could
eat nothing. Expefiments fcgfts careful
ly made to see if there’ were no trick
about it. WhiU the was in bed her
husband Was mutfled up slid made to
walk through the ward. She said sbe
felt he was near her, and she was by no
means well, but had mt seen him any
where about. xt day this experi
ment was repeated, and she actually be l
came insensible, as before. When the
husbattd left the place she recovered;
7he experiment as to the husbaod't
presence was tried in all sorts of #aya;
He was made to pass behind her, and
to be near her in a separate ward, but
this had no effect btit whenever he wat
brought to look on her face, though
muffled up or disguised as a policemen;
as a sepoy, and so forth, she Was dt oned
influenced. The experiments continu
ed for about a month, and the conclu
sion was that tile hUsband unconscious
ly mesmerised her. The court eame to
the cdnclilsion that it was impossible
that she could live with him, and A
separate allowance was ordered,
husband was asked to try if he could
not remove the effect, seeing that he
l al the power to cause it, but he was
quite frightened at the idea of having
the power, and could dot Control it id
any way.
Wlmt ‘Credit MotJUier*
Means.
A correspondent asks the meaning of
the words ‘Credit Mobiiier.’ (Scvehd
Congressmen have Asked the same ques
tion.) \Ve presume he wishes to be in
formed Concerning the original deriVa
iion and use of the term. "We will
deavor to explain it. The ‘Credit Fdrt
ciet’ has long been the general title 111
France for associations that adVanCtt
mOney on landed of immovable securi
ties. The 'Credit Mobiiier’ was the
name glvett td a powerful enrporatinri;
organized in France in IS-39 sos advanc
ing mon?y Oil rtibVabie property. The
name was adopted evidently with the
purpose of affording area ly definition
of the subject of the association The
‘Societe Generale de Credit Mobiiier’ be
came a great and prdßtdble enterprise;
It had S| ecial privileges under Ps chat
ter. It assisted materially in the corl :
struction Os railways and the promo
tion of mining schemes. Among Other
enterprises m which it was notably iti
terested were the Government lOatl On
account of the ftuSsian War. the Grrtnd
Central flail way Company, a. and the
General Omnibus Company of Paris.
Atonbtime.it advanced 2t50,005,()0(J
franoß, and at another time 375.000,000
francs, to the French Gbv -rnineiit. Its
business was so great in 1835 that
dared a dividend of 40 per cent, on its
capital. While it Was manifestly the
means ofdoing mtlcH goo I in France, it
eventually failed.
Tne introduction of the terms‘Credit
Foncii-r’ and ‘Credit Mobiiier’ into
America redue to Mr. George Francis
Train. lie established a ‘Credit Foil
cier” with Omaha lands, which he haw*
ked about the country some years ago.
He gave the name of ‘Credit A/obilief
ol America’ to a c rporation with uni
versal privileges, which was organized
in Pennsylvania. It was appropriated by
Messrs. Oakes Ames, Durant & Co.j
to serve as tne party of the third part
in the famous ‘tfiplibate agreement.’ by
which the managers of the Union Paci
fic Railroad let out the contract of build
ing the road to themS dves, in payment
for which they modestly took the foad
itself, all the United States bonds* all
the tinited States lands, etei, at a pro
fit of over 1,000 per cen:., on itn entire
ly fictitious capital. This is what ‘Ore
dit Mobiiier’ means in the mddertl
American and Congressional Oseofthlii
| ttord. The title is nut inappropriate:
The transaction wa‘ literally a Credit
on Moytibl »s—tr.e linked States Gov
ernment furnishing the credit and tb«
money, and Messrs, Oakes Ames & CO;
taking the movables—that is, the securi
ties and the profits;
