WITH SILK, IJNEN OR COTTON THREAD. W. B. SHsKK, AGENT. 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 CONSERVATIVE. Uoftri;. Th« IVitienDo of* Hope. 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. Miscellaneous. 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, ♦ mi 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;
