Room for the Hotentots! Room !
Vengeance of God let them wreak!
Hither the sutlers come,
Preaching the gospel of check.
Hear the brass horns as they blow them!
See them, how blatant and bold!
Rebels will hardly know them
By their backs, as of old.
Who is their enemy ? See him !
Broken by manifold ill,
Death standing ready to free him—
Weak, but a gentleman still.
Once a proud people crowned him
Placed him in highest command;
Then the crazed victors bound him,
Lowest of all the land.
©tewigh they could fetter his frame:
Ke?ct bis courage forsook him,
wr he stooped to shame.
Victory ne'er could elate him!
Never defeat overthrow:
Honor could easily sate hint.
Strong was he under his woe-
Now he is conquered, but standing
T’pright before us nil;
Still is his aspect commanding.
Proud and erect in his fall.
Nothing he mutters in auger,
Hate iu his heart is not found;
Speaks but to raise from their langonr
Hearts that are bowed to the ground.
Howl at this man, but he hears not,
Hiss, but he does no. care.
Threaten and curse, but h fears not,
Strike, but he !' 1 ov. spare.

F 0 U N 1).
At the close of a lovely <ls»y iu June,
two travellers, with knapsacks on tlieii
shoulders, were slowly wending their
way aloug a lonely and unfrequented
Toad. From their looks one would judge
that they were quite at a loss to know
just in what section of the country they
were.
‘•I say. Frank," said the taller of the
two, a dark-haired and rattier stern look
ing man, ‘l''ve an idea we are on tin
wrong road. Instead of going to Alton,
I believe we are taking au opposite di
rection.’
‘Perhaps you are right. Wait, and we
may be swinging mound the circle, or,
in other words, lost. But of course we
will corno* to some sort of a habitation
liefore long. You know the old saying
that, ‘it’s a long lane that hasn’t a turn ;'
and I think this is the longest one I ever
traveled before coming to a turn. If I
were not so confoundedly tired and hun
gry, I’d laugh at onr folly in attempting
such a wild-goose chase as to foot it
through this wilderness, instead of wait
ing for the oh! coach. Well, what’s to
he will he ; and we may as well continue
on ; the end's somewhere probably.’
Poor Frank Gilbert did not look tired.
His [lowers of endurance were not as
great as those of his companion. Al
though nearly .as tall, he was more slight
ly built. Iu looks he was the very coun
terpart of his companion, Walter < ray,
having bright bine eyes*and light hair.
The two friends hail been spending sev
eral weeks iu traveling through some of
the Western States and were now home
ward bound. The pleasant little village
of Alton they were trying to reach, be
fore dark, as it was their intention to
take the cars from there early on the fol
lowing morning.
“Hulloa, Wait, here’s the turn !’ joy
fully exclaimed Frank. And indeed it
was the turn, and the end, too. Just a
little way before them, at the terminus
of the road, stood a low log cabin, so
completely covered with creeping plants,
that it seemed a part of the wood itself.
The door stood invitingly open, and onr
tired travelers eagerly bent their steps
toward it. Arriving at the door, their
knock was instantly answered by an old
liegress. As Frank was usually spokes
man, he civally asked permission to rest
awhile, and also obtain something to eat,
for they were very hung y . :d tired.
‘Oh, Lor’ bless yo . ; sf , it’s a sore

her large blue eyes, and the tremor of
the sweet child’s lips she tried hard to
suppress. She listened quietly to Frank’s
repeated request, and, turning to the old
negress, said:
‘Auntie, give the gentlemen something
to eat.'
Going to a large closet in the room,
she took out a couple of snowy towels,
and, placing them beside a large basin
on a side table, directed the gentlemen
to a little spring bach of the house, and
she» Jest them.

Frank and Walter, glad enough to gel
rid of some of their dust and dirt, bath
ed their hands and faces iu the cool wa
ter from the spring ; after performing
their ablutions, they lingered awhile
watcliiug the sun’s rays which were fasl
disappearing in the West, and wonderec
why it was that such a beautiful, delicate
child should lie living in such an out-of
the way place.
A summon to supper caused them t<
reserve their comments till some othei
time. A well filled table greeted then
astonished eyes ; snowy bread, slices ol
pink ham, a plate of honey in the comb,
delicate cakes and preserves, and, above
all, the finest of damask for a cloth, and
old china and solid silver. They could
not help expressing their astonishment
iu looks, and the old negress noticing it,
and interpreting it rightly, said :
‘•'-h, massa, dis is a poor place for
such tings, but de day has been when
dey was iu dere propa places, and my
young missus wasn’t here in de woods,
and poor Miss Nettie dyiu’ ob de fever
iu her.’ And the old negress clasped
her hands, and commenced rocking back
- * -»u
anu .a.
At the name of Nettie, Walter Grey
started and turned pale.
The meal was a silent one ; only the
confused murmur of voices from an ad
joining room, and u smothered sob from
the old negress, was heard. Frank, be
ing of a sociable nature, and pitying the
old woman’s grief, asked her if her mis
tress was yery ill.
‘Yes, chile, she is very sick, and dere
is no one to get de doctor till de morrow
comes. ’
Having studied and practiced medi
cine, Frank ottered his services. His oi
ler was instantly cut short by a joyful
exclamation from the old woman, who
said :
‘Lor’ bless you, massa, I believe the
good Lor' just done sent you here in de
our of our tnhhilation ! Come right in
dr room wid me!’ And opening a door
nearly op[H)site them, she ushered him
in.
The room, a large one, contained little
furniture beside the bed, on which lay a
beautiful girl in the delirium of fever.
Her golden hair lay tossed on her pil
lows, surrounding her face like a halo ;
tlie light of reason had gone from her
beautiful blue eyes ; her lips parched by
fever, were
and her little hands convulsively grasped
tlie lied clothes. A single glance, and
Frank returned 'to the room'ho had jtUft
left, and, taking a small case of medi
cine from his knapsack, returned to the
side of tlie sick girl. He sent the old
negress lo tlie spring for some cool wa
ter, and bathing her head, administered
a powerful opiate. He then seated him
self to watch its effect.
In a short time she was asleep, and he
left her to the care of the old negress,
bidding tier call him as soon as the inva
lid awoke.
Walter Grey had become somewhat
impatient at his couirnd’s (to him) long
stay in tlie sick room, and, when he did
make his appearance, asked him what
they were going to do, as they were eight
miles from their destination, and the
evening was fast slipping away.
‘Stay here to-night,’ was the answer,
‘i shall not go till that poor girl is bet
ter, or they can have a physician come
to attend her pioperly. Wait, it is too
bad ! The poor thing has only that old
woman and little girl to care for her.’
‘lsn’t there any one near whom they
can get ?’ said Walter in surprise.
“No; it seems not, their nearest
neighbors are ill—some of them with the
same disease—-typhoid fever,’ he. added,
gravely. ‘But Wait, if you are afraid ot
taking the disease, perhaps you had bet
ter go on—although I siiaii miss you, old
leilo.v.’
‘Afraid ! I afraid of catching it ?
Frank, if J had a mother and sister, as
you tiave, perhaps I’d go ; but there is
none to drop a single tear over my grave.
And, besides, I’ve become quite inter
ested in your patient and her little sister.
It is curious,' he musingly said, ‘where
have I seen that little child ? I feel an
instinct that somehow we have met be
lore. ’
He suddenly ceased speaking, for be
fore him she stood, and asked if they
would please stay that night, There was
no resisting that pleading tone and look,
even if they had decided otherwise, and
Walter said:
‘Certainly we will.’
Saying thus, he gently drew her to his
side. Frank laid his hand on her sunny
i.air, and said that he trusted her sister
would be better in the morning. The
child gave him a grateful look, which
was more expressive than words could
’Kjssi bly be.
Wishing to divert her mind from her
gn * trouble, Walter commenced to con
verse ith her, and after awhile, asked
what he should call her.
‘Li.iau Stanton,’ was tlie reply.
Scarcely had Abe child ceased speak
ing, when au exclamation from Waiter’s
lips caused Frank to look int > his face ;
its deathly palor startled him.
‘Walter, are you ill ? What is the mat
ter ?’
His friend had risen, and, placing both
his trembling hauls on little Lillian’s
face, was eagerly scrutinizing it.’
‘Little one,’ he at last said, ‘was your
home once in Virginia, on the banks of
the Potomac ?’
‘Yes,’ was the reply.
‘Had yon a sister Annette ?’
‘Yes ; and I have her now, but she is
sick. O my darling sister ! She will
die!’ And Lillian began to cry bitterly.
Walter snatched the child and seated
her on his knee, tried to sooth her grief.
Poor Frank was mystified ; such conduct
iu his friend he could not account for ;
but he waited patiently for the explana
tion he knew would come. ’
‘Frank, the only woman I ever loved
lies iu yonder room, ill, perhaps dying.’
There were tears in the strong man’s
eyes, and his lips trembled as he added,
‘I am going to her.’
‘Nay,’ said Frank, ‘not now—she is
■sleeping, and everything depends on her
beiug kept perfectly quiet; wait till she
awakes, and then you can see her, but
she must not see yon ; any excitement
might kill her. I’ll do all I can, and the
rest we must leave with God.’
‘Amen !’ was the fervent response.
‘Frank, I will tell you all. When I
was about eighteeu years old, my moth-
became verv the
physician advised me to take her farther
north for a change, hoping it would ben- ■
efit her. We were living in my old
home in Alabama at that time. Well, i
we got as far as Virginia, when we were
obliged to stop ; she could go no fur
ther; in a little while she was dead.
During the few weeks she lived, a
family liy the name of Stanton were very
kind to us, doing all in their power to
soothe her last hours. The family con
sisted of Mr. and Mrs. Stanton and their
three children. Hurry was a genuine
Virginian, proud and high-spirited, and
his sister Nettie had tliesame disposition,
only she was more gentle. The youngest,
this child, was a little babe.
‘Well, I loved Nettie as I loved my life
—and my love was returned. Month after ;
mouth I lingered by her side content, j
Lovers’ quarrels we had not, until just a |
little while before the time set for my j
departure had arrived. It was a little !
thing ; both were to blame, but pride |
kept us from acknowledging our fault.
Frank, if ever pride keeps you from cou- !
leasing a fault, put it under your heel, j
and crush it as you would a serpent, or I
it will sting you as mine has !
‘One evening, feeling a little vexed liy
some girlish nonsense on her part, I call
ed her a heartless llirt, although God
knows I had not the slightest reason for
calling her so; she retaliated by calling
me a coward ; I was too angry to answer,
and left her. The next day I left the
place where I had been so happy, with
out bidding any one good by.
‘lt took but a few months for me to
crush my pride sufficiently to see how
wrong 1 was, and night and day travelled |
until I stood once more at the door of j
my Nettie’s home. I knocked ; a stran- :
ger answered my summons ; I asked for 1
the family.
‘ ‘Gone,’ was the reply.
‘lnquiry told me that Mr. and Mrs.
Stanton and Harry wore ‘sleeping the
sleep that knows no waking here.’ They
had died of that terrible scourge cholera.
Nettie and tier little sister were gone
none knew where; and, owing to tlie
rascality of an uncle of Nettie’s they were
nearly penniless.
‘Frank, may the good God forbid that
you should suffer as I did then. I have
round them at last, after many weary
years—found my darling Nettie, but only
to lose her.’
He ceased speaking as the door open
ed, nud at the words, ‘She am awake,’
Frank instantly arose and left the room.
He found his patient still delirius. Very,
very ill indeed was poor Nettie, and
Frank knew there would be hardstruggle
ere grim deatlf would loosen his hold on
that beautiful girl; he felt that it was
hut a little way across the river, and
already the boatman seemed waiting.
Poor Walter suffered terribly as lie stood
by her side, and saw the ravages disease
had made Frank hail called him in,
fearing the time would he short, indeed,
for him to see her.
All during tlie night they watched ;
the gray dawn came ; still tlie fever rag
ed. She raved incessantly of her child
hood’s home, of her lost ones, and again
and again would the name of Walter leave
her lips, begging him to come back, and
not leave her alone.
Only those who have gone through it
all can know what Walter suffered. As
the day passed away, Frank knew it
would not he many hours before the
change would come—whether for life or
death, God only knew.
About six o’clock, the girl commenced
to have fitful snatches of sleep, and at
nine she sank into a lethargy. As they
watched her, they noticed her face grow
ing whiter and whiter. Frank took a
spoon, and, filliug it with brandy, waited
until the sick girl moved, and then gave
it to her, ; she opened her eyes in an in
stant, closed them again and was soon
asleep.
Frank glanced at liis watch ; the fate
ful midnight hour had passed, and death
had not yet claimed its own. Not a
sound disturbed the silence of the room ;
and still the sick girl slept on.
Once more dawn had come ; the little
birds were twittering iu each leafy tree,
THOMSON, GA., SEPTEMBER 8, 1875.
and when, a little later, they burst forth
; iu joyful sounds, chanting their notes of
1 praise, the sick girl opened her eyes, the
light of reason again shining in them.
Seeing the strange face of Frank near,
j she looked bewildered; but he motioned
jto little Lillian to come near. She knew
her.
‘Thank God ! She will live !’ was all
| Frank said,
Slowly turning her head on the pillow,
she caught a glimpse of Walter s face.
‘Walter !’ burst from her lips.
Iu an instant he was beside her; his
arms were around her; no words were
spoken—but they knew all was forgiven.
Thus we will leave them. ‘The lost
was found. ’
THE SERPENT A REALITY.
[From the Bridgeton Daily.]
Capt. Joseph Garton, who has resided
j here over a quarter of a century, and has
I followed the water forty-five years—ever
| siuco he was a boy ten years of age—-
j and is now pilot of the steamship Nor
i man, of tlie Philadelphia and Boston
line of steamers, which position he has
; LeU over eight years, dropped into our
office on Friday, and said :
“You had in your paper a few days ago
a paragraph which read, ‘Has any one in
Bridgeton seen the sea serpent ?’ and I
have called to inform you tlint I have
seen it.”
“Sit down, Captain, anil tell us nil
about it.”
“Certainly: I’ll tell you what I saw
with my own eyes, and what four other
gentlemen saw at the same time.”
The Captain then said thaf on the
evening of July 17, of the present year,
when off Plymouth, about fifty miles
from Boston, his attention was attracted
to a strange-lookiug object in the sea,
about one mile distant, whereupon he
procured a spy-glass, and sighting
through it, saw what appeared to be a
huge snake swimming rapidly toward the
vessel. At the same time,he culled the
attention of four other gentlemen, who
gazed at the monster, which at this time |
was apparently about lit ID yards from the I
vessel, swimming with caasiilerable pace, |
oil a straight course, and apparently pui- |
suing some large fish, probably a sword I
fish, which was observed a short distance j
from tlie serpent, and evidently in a j
hurry. The hem] of the, moster was ruis- i
ed at least ten feet above the oceau, but
remained stationary only a moment, as it I
was ahiost iu'motion, now
diving for a moment and as suddenly re
appearing to tlie same height. The
Captain calculated that it plunged down ,
once every one-half minute, and he saw j
it do this over a dozen times as did also :
the other spectators.
The sndmarine leviathan was striped
black and white, the, stripes running j
lengthways, from the head to the tail. |
The belly was almost White, and round- j
icg, and the head resembled that of a liz- j
zard, or a bullfrog. The throat was pure ■
white’ and the head, which was extreme- j
ly large was full black, from which, just |
above a lizzard-shaped mouth, protruted. j
an inch or more, a pair of deep black j
eyes, as largo as ordinary saucers. The
body was round, and as large ua a fish j
barrel. The captain [says that tlie serpent |
was over 100 feet long. The mo ion of
the fish was like that of a caterpillar,
witli this exception, that the head of the
snake plunged under the water, whereas
the head of the worm merely crooks to
the ground. During its passage toward
the vessel, and as lung as the monster
was in view, the water iu its wake anil a
ronnd it was violently agitated, every
time it made a plunge the water, or spray,
was thrown up quite high, probably six
or eight feet. The serpent passed on and
was lost in the “sun wake.”
In this connection it is well to state
that Capt.Garton’i word is liis bond, and
that he is a gentleman of unimpeachable
veracity. That the sea serpent is a reali
ty, and not a sailor’s yarn, is our firm
belief.
A City Under thP Sea.— ln the latter
end of the last century old Port lioyal
disappeared beneath the waves in an
earthquake, leaving no other memorial
behind than these few patches of reefs.
In calm and clear evenings, when there
is not a ripple on the glassy surface of
tlie sea, you look down into fifteen fath
oms of water and see submerged houses,
towers, and churches, with sharks swim
ming quietly in and out of the open win
dows of their belfries. The work of cen
turies was destroyed in a few moments
by one single convulsive throb the thin
film on which man has lived and specu
lated for ages past. An American diving
company, instigated in their enterprise
by tales of untold wealth buried beneath
the sea by this sudden shock, rescued no
treasures but tlie big bell suspended still
in the bell tower, and donated the same
to the museum of tlie island, where it
may be seen, with many puzzling inscrip
tions upon it which nobody has as yet
been able to decipher.
The Dalton Enterprise says : “We
learn that there is a negro woman living
at Sugar Valley, once the property of Mrs.
Malone, with whom she lives and is cared
for, who is one hundred and fifteen years
old. She relates many incidehts con
nected with the Revolutionary war.
EAPTIZLiHfI TBLI Jlßßi > '
Some of our colored brethren of the
Baptist persuasion had baptism down at
the creek last Sunday, and the ceremony
attracted a very large crowd of people.
Airs. Pitman’s colored servant girl was
very anxious to be present, and, as it was
not her Sunday out, she slipped away
! from the house while the dinner was cook
ing, and went around in her working
! clothes. Her interest was so intense that
she stood close to the minister, who was
iu the water, while the ceremony pro
ceeded. After six or seven had been
; dipped, the clergyman, filled with enthu
| siasm, seized her and pulled her into the
j water. She resisted, but the minister
| imagined that she was merely afraid of
the coldness of tlie water, so before she
j could explain the situation he soused her
: She came up sputtering, and exclaimed :
1 “What you doin ; Lernuie go, I tell
you !”
But lie exerted liis strength, and sent
her “ker-chuck” below tho surfaoe again.
She emerged, clawing the air wildly and
shouting :
“G way from hero ! Don’t you chuck
me under agiu, you nigger !”
“But the clergyman was inexorable,
anil lie plunged her under a third time,
and held her there for a miuute, so as to
let it soak in and do her good. Then she
came up and struck for the shore, and
standing there, looking like a draggled
mermaid cut in ebony, she shook her fist
at the astonished pastor, and shrieked :
“Oh, I’ll fix you. I’ll bust the In
offen you, you or’nary trash’ sousin
in dat dare creek and nearly drowned me, i
when you knowed well enough all de time j
dat I’se a Methodist, and ’ b . elirissened j
by dem dats yer betters, a . ,ov ,no e

ever shouted, you mis’able blue.. scum,
and me gut the rheumatiz enough to set
me crazy. Oh, I'll see what de law kin
do for yon ; I’ll have you ‘rested dis very
day or my name’s not Johanna Johnson,
you woolly headed honin’. Y'ou hear
me?” Tin n Johanna went home to re
dress, and the ceremony proceeded. Aliss
Johnson is now persuaded that the Bap
tists are not any better than Pagans.
Burn Kerosene the right Way,
A correspondent of the New York Sun
calls attention of all consumers of kero
sene oil to the pernicious and unhealthy
practice of using lamps filled with that
artHße with the limits turned down. The
gas which should he consumed by the
flames is by this means left heavily in the
air, while the cost of the oil thus saved
at present prices would scarce bo one dol
lar a year for tlie lamps of a housholtl.
His attention was called particularly to
this custom by boarding hi the country
where kerosene was tlie only available
j light. A large family of children living
| in the same house were taken ill one
night’ and on going to the nursery the
! mother found the tlie room nearly suffo
i eating, with a lamp turned down, where
'• upon the physician forbade the use of a
: lump at night, unless turned at full head.
| Ho says he could quote many cases, one
; of a young girl subject to fits of faintness,
i which if not induced, were greatly iu
! creased by sleeping iu a room with the
lamp almost turned out. Besides the
damage to health, it spoils the paper and
curtains, soils the mirrors and windows,
and gives the whole house au untidy air
and an un wholesome odor.
