XIV. the BASHFUt POET AND THE KNOW- | ISO YOUNG NEWSPAPER MAN. [Burlington Il.wfceye. Anybody could tell what he had. Every man in the sanctum knew in a minute. The timid knock at the door gave him clear away at the start. No man or woman ever knocks at the sanctum door unless he comes on that fatal ernuid. Then he came inside and took off his hat and bowed all round the room, wheu every man on the staff roared out in terrible chorus: “Come in’.” Then ho asked for the editor, ind when the underlipgs, with a fine mingling of truth and grammar,point ed to the youngest aod uawest mau in the office and yelicu,“That's him!” he walked up* the you** gentleman designated, and before. t Sou id unroll his manuscript we knew the subject of it, and a deep groan echoed around the room. “Poetry, young man V” asked the editor. “Yes, sir,” said the poet, “* eouplc of triolets and a sonnet on the mar riage of my sister with au old college friend.” “Old college friend male or female, young man ¥” asked the editor se verely. “ifale, sir,” said the young mau. He said “sir” every time, and every time he said it, alt the young gentle men of the stall save the young gen tleman who personated the governor, snickered. He looked severe. “Anything more, young man ?*’ he asked. “Yes, sir,” replied the infant Tenny son; “a kind of idyl, an ode inscribed * l’o My Lost Love.’ ” “Love been lost very long, young man V” asked the journalist very criti cally. “Well, it’s immaterial, that is,” stammered the young man; “it’s in definite —it’s —” “Ever advertised for it ?” asked the reporter, who was writing a puff for Slab’s tombstones,but tie was instantly frowned down. “Anything more J” asked the prin cipal interlocutor, “anything more, young man ?” “Yes, sir,” was the hopeful response, “a thernody in memory of my depart ed brother.” “Brother dead, young man, or only goue to Sagetown ?” “Dead, sir.” "Your own brother t" “No, sir. I never had a real brother; it’s only imaginary.” “Can’t take this, then, young man,” was the Chilling reply. “Poetry, to find acceptance with the Hawkcye, must be true. Have to reject tills thernody, not because it’s not very beautiful, but because it is not true. Now how much do you waut for these others l” And he fingered them over like a man buying mink skins. The poet roally didn’t know. He had never published befere; he had barely dared hope to have his verses published at all. A few copies of the pa|r containing them, he was sure— “Oh, no,” the editor broke iu, “oh, no, sir, can’t do that; we deu’t do busi ness that way; if a poem or sketch is worth publishing, it is worth paying for. Would sls pay for these V ’ The poet blushed to the floor with gratitude, and the young journalist grandly wrote out an order and handed to the poet. “Take that to the court house,” he said, “and the auditor’s clerk will give you the money.” The poet liowed and withdrew, and witli great merriment the journalists burned his poems and resumed their work. That wasn’t the funny part of it, however. The next day the simple minded poet presented his order to the clerk designated. Anil illiappcuel that the clem owed the paper eighteen dol lars for subscription and advertising, aud he promptly cashed the order and turned it In when his bill was present ed, and the manager just charged it to the salary account of the smart young journalist who signed thcorder.aml the happiest man aud the maddest man In America are living in Burlington. One of them is a happy, green, unsophisti cated young machine poet, and the other is a wide-awake, up-to-snuff, know-the-world.get-up-and-dußt young journalist, who Is already a rival ol Horace Greeley in some of the verbal departments of journalism. “AN ANGEL IN WOMAN'S FOUm.” (New Orleans Democrat.) There lives in New Orleansa woman who is known all over the city as“ Mar garet.” Sometimes she is called “Bister Margaret,” anti at others “Mother Margaret.” She is of plain exterior, of Irish birth, heavy frame, anti weighs over two hundred pounds. She dresses in plain calico, and is frequently seen driving her baker’s cart, for she is the founder and manager of one of the largest and roost prosperous bakeries in the city. Years ago she was an at tendant iu the Female Orphan Asylum and through the epidemics Margaret was always couspictous for her devo tion to the little unfortunates, and prominent in gathering funds and do nations to help the directors keep star vation out of the portals oi the asylum. In time she determined to establish a bakery, in order to enable her to sup ply them with bread, and by her mas terly management she has built up a business that has enabled her to sustain her life of devotion to the orphans and to amass a reasonable competence for herself in her old age. Bite must now be over fifty years of age, and may be daily seen driving through the streets, making her purchases of flour, or at early morn actually delivering bread to her customers, or sending it to the asylums. In all the numerous public charities,originating with ladies, every year she has invariably contributed her mite,sometimes SSO and sometimes more, without solicitation,and she does not hesitate to visit the sick and per sonally nurse them or see that they are properly attended. But her last act of generosity to theorphans of General Hood—proportionate to her fortune, we think, is the largest charitable do nation ever given in this country, and in comparison places her self-sacriflce alongside Florence Nightingale and far ahead of the Vanderbilts, Btewarts and Astorsof the North. Bhe recently sent Gen. Hood’s children a check for SSOO. Verily,New Orleans has “an an gel in a woman’s form.” When she goes to her reward she will deserve a mon ument that will endure forever. Political Contributions.—' The Postmaster General has decided that “there is no assessment upon Post masters for political purposes known to or recognized by the Post Office Department. The salary of a Post master is fixed by law, and when he has earned and received It no one but himself can direct thedlsposition there of. He is at liberty to devote as much of it as hepleasees to political purposes, and he may refuse to pay anything therefor without affecting his tenure, so lie discharges faithfully the duties imposed Upon Mm by the laws and regulations.” WASHINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1879. CO.HPTROLLER-GENF.ItAL WRIGHT. A SHOUT SKETCH OF THE LIFE AND WAll RECORD OF A GALLANT MAN. “Chatham,” the Atlanta correspond ent of the Savannah News, gives the following short history of the life and services of Capt. W. A. Wright, the newly appointed comptroller of the state: Captain William A. Wright having given his bond to-day and entered upon the duties of his office, it will not be out of place for me to present the readers of the Morning News with a brief sketch of this new stato official. A thrill of pleasure will he felt by thousands of ex-confederate soldiers when they learn that Capt. W. is the eldpst son of the lamented Gen. A. It. Wright, first commander of the grand old Third Georgia regiment, a brother of Hon. H. G. Wright, of the Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist and member of the house of representatives from Richmond county, and a brother in-law of Col. Thos. S. Wayne, of Sa vannah. Willie Wright was born in Louis ville Jefferson county, January 19th, 1844, and was a student at tho Jetl’erseu Academy when the war broke out. Full of patriotism, and desiring to fol low the fortunes ot his gallant father, he enlisted in the Dawson Grays of Greene county, as a private, aud re mained so until his father became a brigadier-Gencral, when lie was made ordnance officer of the brigade,w ith the rank of lieutenant. This position ho continued to till after his father rose to tho command of a division, but with the higher rank of captain. Of ac tive temperament and line mental perceptions, he proved himself a valu able officer. In the matter of courage and fidelity to duty ou the field of battle, Captain Wright was ever conspicious. Although ho lost a leg at the terrible second battle of Mannassas he rallied from his wounds and was again in the saddle at Chan cellorsvllle. During Gen. Lee’s march upon Gettysburg, however, lie was captured and sent to Johnson’s Island, In Lake Erie, where he was confined for eleven months. On being c-x --clisneedWio joined his father’s com mand just about the time Grant and Lee reached Petersburg. The sur render soon followed, and his military career, so varied and so honorable, came to au end,and he sheathed a sword that hangs to-day without a stain upon its trusty blade. Returning home, Capt. Wright en gaged in planting in Columbia county, where he made for himself a pleasant and happy home,having selected a most estimable lady, Miss Ellen G. Carter, daughter of Dr. John B. Carter, of Au gusta, as his life companion. Four in teresting children have blessed this union aud made a happy home still happier and more attractive. At the last electiou for comptroller-general Captain W. was a candidate, but with drew in favor of Col. Goldsmith and became clerk of the wild land depart ment of the office. Having discharged Ids duties faithfully, honestly and with marked ability, despite all the crookedness surrounding him, the majority of the general assembly pe titioned Governor Colquitt|to appoint him to fill the unexpired term of Co lonel Goldsmith. The governor com plied and a score of friends at once volunteered as bondsmen, thus ena bling him to enter immediately upon the discharge of the duties of the office. Our new comptroller-general is one of the most popular and amiable men that I ever knew, both socially and officially, and, with the sad fate of oth ers before him I feel satisfied that he will prove faithful and honest to the end of his official career. His twoyears of public life in Atlanta have served to make more firm his sterling qualities of head anil heart, and to strengthen his manly moral character. Iu per sonal appearance he Is of spare build, a little over medium height, sharp fea tures, smooth face with frank expres sion, and light curly hair. WHIRLING THROUGH TUB AIR. AN UNSKILLFUL KOPJE-WALKER DROPS A HOY FIFTY FRET. [Salt Lake (Utah) Herald.] A few (lays agj the Herald casually mentioned that an Ogden tlght-rope walker would undertake the feat of breaking hia neck if a sufficient collec tion could lie raised to pay hia funeral expenses. Though the intimation did not prove true, it is rather a matter of regret, as one younger and propoition ately more innocent suffers from the the foolhardy exhibition. Last night was the time set for the feat, and, in addition to walking the rope at a great height, Mogginson, the rope professor, promised to carry a twelve year old boy on ids back across tills rope, to stand on hia head upon it, to lie down on his face, balancing the pole over Ida hack, and to carry two pails of water from one building to another. The rope was stretched across Main street. He com menced his exhibition, and while en deavoring to carry the boy across lie lost his balance and dropped him to the [lavement, fifty feet below, after having walked within ten feet of the end. The rope was on an Incline of about three feet. Instepping Orr this incline the Professor saemed to loso ids balance, ilia pole swinging to the per pendicular, and almost instantly after the immense concourse of people who had assembled to witness the affair were horrified to see the boy whirling through the air, striking his head with a sickening tiiud. Megginson threw himself over, catching the rope with one hand in his fall, and after hanging a few seconds In mid air succeeded in gainlug a windo.w, going hand over hand. The boy, whose name is stated aa William Alien, is said to boa son of the city Marshal of Junction City, Kansas. It is alleged that he ran away from home and was taken up by the traveling performer, many exhibitions having been given successfully. The boy struck the pavement on the right shoulder and head, partially dislocating the neck and causing concussien of the brain. He is still alive, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Megginson is arrested. Census day will bo June 1, 1880. On that date about twenty thousand enumerators will commenc their la ’bors—those in the cities being required to complete their work in two weeks, while others will be allowed the whole month of June. Persons alive on the first of June, but dying before the enu merator reaches them, will be counted in the census; births subsequent to the firstof June will not be counted. Hpee iai agents will be employed to cellect statistics relating to education] .mining, manufacturing, agriculture, and vari ous other departments of trade and industry. Itogua Certificate*. It is no viie drugged stuff,pretending to be made of wonderful foreign roots, barks, Ac.,and puffed up by long bogus certificates of pretended cures, but a simple, pure, effective medicine, made of well known valuable remedies, that furnishes its own certificates by its cures. We refer to Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medicines.— Ex. Bee another column. ,Y FOR GOVERNOR. Already speculation is rife as to who will be the next governor of Georgia. 11 is said that Gov. Colquitt will aspire to a second term. Gen. Gartrell is very favorably spoken of as a suitable man to be nomiiuited. Col. Tom Hardeman has Bcores of ardent friends who will urge his claims. Mr. Tur ner, of Brooks, has quite a good follow ing. Judge McCuteheu, who will re tire soon from the bench, is frequently mentioned in this connection. R. E. Lester, president of the Senate, is also regarded as a good selection. Others are spoken of, but it is difficult to de termine who will bo the nominee, ns the political wire-pullers are bo shifty that none know what their choice may be in the matter. But wheu we talk with the people, we find that they want Gen. Toombs. If the General will consent to tab*.the field he is certain to he the nexfhov ernor of tills grand old State whir ./has so often honored him and which he has served with distinguished ability. He does not desire the honor, claiming to be too old, and does not desire to as sume its responsibilities. All of this is undoubtedly true and we know he is sincere in what ho has said to his friends iu refereuco to making thegub. ernatorial race next year. But if die people—we mean those who constitute the “boae and sinew” of the land—should appeal to General Toombs to become their governor, we do not see how Tie could refuse them, especially at a time when the affairs of the State arc “crooked” aud need straightening out; we say wc do uot see how lie could fail to respond to their wishes. It has been often claimed that tho office of governor requires bat little talent to conduct its afl’ulrs. We have seen that such is not true. We havo seen that statesmanlike sagacity and firmness are needed qualities to administer that office with success. These are lamentable facts no one oun dispute who is familiar with the past. Gen.Toombs possesses all the qualiil cations for governor. He is honest and capable. If in the executive office, ho would, without fear, take supervi sion of all the departments of the gov ernment in compliance with the con stitution and laws, and see to it that no “crookedness’ 7 occurred. We have no idea, however, that ttie political managers will nominate him. He is not the man to suit them. The State treasury would be made “burglar proof.” It will, therefore, remain for the people, in the spirit of manly in dependence, to rise above the condition of subservienoy to so-called party lend ers, and oall (Jen. Toombs to the of fice of governor. We know it is early to canvass this matter now, but the politicians nre al ready taking time by the forelocti and are discussing the claims of favorites. It is, therefore, right and proper that the masses should be reminded that they should assert their independence of iMiiUical tricksters, thimble rigger* and shysters who manipulate party oi. ganizatlonSßolely for the benefltofafew office-seekers, whose tyrrnny In polit ical affairs has become intolerable anti ; arrogant In their demands upon tW “rank ami file.” Gen. Toombs woulo make a gallant leader in a fight for in dependent thought and action,and a' noble representative of a free and uu trammeled people, and his election would be certain. With such a man for governor, the administration of the aflkirs of the State would be conducted, absolutely, in the interest of the people. It would be a fitting close to Gen. foombs’ bril liant record as a faithful public ser vant. It would be a tribute from the people themselves, and not a mere commission tendered him by a few wire-pulling, managing men who con trol conventions in the interest of thomselyes and their favorites. The day Gen. Toombs is made governor will bo one of great promise to Georgia. THE SOLDIER'S BILL. The bill was introduced by Holi. 11. G. Wright, of Richmond county: A bill to be entitled in act to carry into effeet the last clauso of paragraph one, section one, article seven of the Constitution of 1877. (Section 1. Ho it enacted by the General Assembly of the State ofUeor gia, That any person now resident of this State, who enlisted in the military service of the Confederate States, or of tills State,while such iv resident,or auy person who enlisted in any military organization of this State, though non. resident at the timeof such enlistment, but lias since become and now is,a res ident of this State, who, while engaged in said military service, lost a limb or limbs, may furnish to the Governor of this State, proof that such applicant has supplied himself with such needed artificial limb or limbs, and the Gov ernor, on reception of such proof, is hereby authorized to draw his warrant on the Treasurer of this State, in favor of susli amount hereinafter mentioned, to-wit: For a leg extending above the knee,one hundred dollars; for a leg not extending above the knee, seventy-live dollars;for an arm extending above ths elbow, fifty dollars; for an arm not extending above the elbow, forty dollars, provided said amounts of money may he allowed to any one entitled to the benefits of this act, who may prefer to supply himself witii said artificial limb.

When Mary Queen of Soots was a prisoner in the Castle of Lochburn in the winter ami early spring of 1508,she ilrew young George Douglas, the strip, ling brother of William Douglas, the Governor of Lochburn, into her favor for the purpose of effecting her escape. The youtti was won completely. On the evening of the 3d of May, 1668, the keeper and his family being at table, George seined the keys and fled across the lake with the royal prisoner. For this romantic allegiance Queen Mary presented to George Douglas a lock of her hair. Now it so came about that as time rolled on this lock—of a silken texture and beautiful pale auburn—was found among some old papers ut “ Wishaw,” one of the estates of the Douglas family. And us time again passed when the late John Carroll Brent visited the late Mrs. Catharine Pye Douglas, of Bose Hall, Hootlanil, a relative, she showed him the lock,and, dying seven years later, In 1847, be 3ueatlied it to him. At the death of ohn Carroll Brent it fell into the pos session of his sister, Miss C. D. Brent, of Wasblonton, D. C., who is now at Bedford .Springs, and who herself kindly told the Lynchburg News, of last Thursday,all about the relic. A WONDERFUL HORSE. “Sleepy Tom,” the-dark bay pacing horse, went around the mile track in Chicago in 2.121, the fastest mile time ever made by any trotter or pacer in the world. “Tom”is as blind as a bat, is about fourteen years old, fifteen hands high, and has afforded as much amusement to turfmen as any other animal in America to-day. One of the most remarkable sights ever seen at a horse-raoe is the pioture of “Tom” and his driver in the heat of a race. The driver leans forward over“Tom’a” b#dy and talks to him the same as ho would to a human being. In the height of the race, when the contest is at its highest pitch with “Toai”siight ly in the lead,the driver will lean over and shout: “Now you’ve got him, Tom;” “Now you’re ahead;” “Go it, Tom,” and other exclamations, which the old horse seems to understand aud appreciate at once, aud which encour ages him to do great deeds. When the driver is silent the old horse will raise and .turn his head around, as much as to ask for “further informa tion” on the matter iu hand. Be tween driver and horse Is a perfect un derstanding, and when they rush down the home-stretch in a big raoe they oome like a whirlwind, aud their record tells tho remainder of the story.
