I would not die in May:
When orchards drift with blooms of white, like bil

And whispers from the li'ac bush across my senses

Hat 'mind me of a girl I knew when life was al

Vftofilled my life with etarry hopes that faded ont

And nothing dying anywhere, but something that

And poplars drift their leafage down in flajees of

And beeches burn like twilight fires that used to tell

And maples bursting into flames set all tho hills

Aad summer from her evergreens sees paradise

A thousand sunsets all at once distill like Hermon’s

And linger on tho waiting woods and stain them

To nil Agricultural Societies, State and
laical, and to all the Friends of the Agri
cultural, Mechanical nnd Commercial In*
terests Tlirougbout tbe Country.
It is known that tho “The Agricultural Con
gress” was inaugurated in October, 1870,-at
Augusta, Ga., by tho invitation of the Cotton
States Mechanics’ and Agricultural Association,
the Augusta Board of Trade and the City Coun
cil of Augusta. The objects sought to be ac
complished must commend themselves to all
who feel concerned for onr prosperity, which
depends so much on the successful direction of
enterprise and capital, in every department of
labor. Tho Congress was composed of dele
gates from eleven States, besides the District of
Columbia, embodying an array of talent and
zeal unsurpassed in any prior assemblage in
this country for the advancement of the inter
ests embraced within the scope of its objects.
They effected a temporary organization and ad
journed to meet at Selma, Ala., on tho first
Tuesday in December next, at whioh time it is
expected to perfect and launch it upon ita pa
triotic mission of usefulness as a permanent in
stitution. Having no merely sectional or par
tisan aims to accomplish, it challenges Hie cor
dial co-operation of all who, animated by a sim
ilar spirit, desire that labor should be dignified,
enterprise stimulated and capital intelligently
directed into appropriate and diversified chan
nels.
The public may have an idea of the scope of
its objects by glancing only at the subjects
which tho Agricultural Congress proposes to
consider, and on which it has taken steps to
elicit information. Under its direction com
mittees Lave been appointed to «reporl to the
session at Selma, upon tho following snbjeets,
viz: 1. Immigration. 2. Pisciculture and En
tomology. 3. Sumac. 4. Horses, Hogs, and
Cattle. 5. Labor. C. Irrigation and Ditching.
7. Hemp. 8. Sugar. 0. Horticulture, Fruits,
Wines, etc. 10. Agricnltnral Education. II.
Fertilizers. 12. Cotton and Sheep. 13. Apiary,
Grasses and Cattle. 14. Potatoes, Turnips, and
similar crops. 15. Rice. 1C. Botany in its re
lations to Agriculture. 17. Mining and Manu-
facturingof Iron and other Minerals. 18. Wool
and other Testilo Fabrics. 19. Ramie and other
Textile crops. 20. Tobacco. ,21. Turpentine.
22. Cereals. 23. Manufactures in general.
24: Miscellaneous.
Those to whom these several subjects have
been assigned are gentlemen of intelligence and
experience, and believed to bo keenly alive to
their importance. Hence a voluminous body
of valuable information is expected to bo pre
sented to the approaching Congress, at Selma,
for its consideration. This programme needs
no comment to awaken interest It makes its
own appeal. Argument could give it no addi
tional force. It commends itself to the judg
ment and heart of every enlightened patriot.
Under the impression that “ the Agricultural
Congress” is purely sectional in its aim3, a Na
tional Agricultural Congress was organized at
Nashville on the occasion of the late Agricultu
ral Fair of Tennessee. Fearing that this might
lead to division, when harmony and concert aro
indispensible, “ The Agricultural Congress”
was represented by the Hon. Mark A. Cooper,
one of its Vice-Presidents, who was tendered
the conrtesy of a seat in the National Agricultural
Congress, permitted to explain the objects of
our Association, and thus correct the misappre
hension as to its sectional character. Hence,
that body appointed delegates to Selma to con
fer with “ The Agricnltnral Congress” in rela
tion to the feasibility of consolidating the two
organizations. It is confidently hoped that the
result will be the harmonious co-operation,
under one flag, of all the friends of agriculture.
Therefore, the division thus at one time emi
nent, need not damp their zeal nor relax their
efforts in behalf of “ The gricultural Con
gress,” bnt the happy termination of Major
Cooper’s mission should rather reassure their
confidence and stimulate them to activity.
Tho approaching session at Selma will, there
fore, be an event of the first magnitude. The
fate of the “Agricultural Congress” will be
finally settled. It will be determined, first:
Whether it shall expire, for the lack of support,
or become permanent, as an instrument of fu
ture usefulness; and secondly: Whether the
two Congresses can be consolidated upon a
satisfactory basis, and thus, by combining their
energies, bring the united intelligence and in
fluence of all to bear upon the accomplishment
of their great and laudable purposes.
Selma, through her delegation at tho session
in Augusta, generously pledged herself to do
everything that should render the next session
pleasant and attractive. At the request of the
Hon. R. M. Nelson, ono of the delegates from
Alabama, a committee of gentlemen of Selma
was appointed to make arrangements for tho ses
sion, and, tendering tho hospitalities, ho closed
by saving: ‘‘Delegates would be allowed to pay
no hotel bills in Selma.” That hospitable and
refined city conld do no more. She showed that
her heart was in this matter, and it is not doubted
that she but reflected the zeal of the noble State
she adorns.
It is unnecessary to refer to the accustomed
liberality of the railroad companies. They
sympathise with the ob:ects of the Agricultural
Congress. Their interests are identified with
with them, and it is not doubted that they will
cheerfnlly pass delegates to and from Selma
over their respoctive lines of travel at reduced
rates.
The Agricultural Congress contemplates no
pecuniary benefit to its members. It can offer
no premiums. Its existence, as well as its use
fulness, depends entirely upon the voluntary
sacrifice of the time and money it will cost each
member to bestow his personal attention and
service in advancement of its purposes, and
upon the extent to which it can command the
confidence and suffrages of tho intelligent, prac
tical and energetic men of the country. If
they will rally to it with alacrity and activity, it
promises a career of usefulness worthy the
noble industries it would foster, encourage and'
direct.
The above views are presented to justify the
following suggestions, which are submitted with
a deference surpassed only by tho earnestness
that prompts them:
1. Let no Association, State or local, whose
object is to promote agriculture, manufactures
and mechanic arts fail to bo represented in the
approaching Agricultural Congress.
2. Let associations bo formed in localities
wherein none exists.
3. Let each society that may appoint dele
gates send up to the Congress a small contribu
tion, proportioned to its number of members
and its ability, to meet the necessary expenses
of the session—such as the Secretary’s compen
sation and printing. The Congress has no sal
aried officer, excopt the Secretary. His duties
are onerous and demand compensation. They
are also indisponsable. Let all constituencies,
therefore, remember to be also contributors to
a fund for the purposes indicated.
4. Let each association, purposing to send
delegates, act at once and take proper steps to
arrange with railroads for reduced rates.
What i3 necessary for our success and useful
ness are earnestness and activity on the part of
all Associations and the friends everywhere of
the advancement of our country’s prosperity.
The time is short within which to act Do not
procrastinate. By proper effort an amount of
intelligence and practical wisdom may be con
centrated at Selma, which will give an irresisti
ble impetus to onr organization and plant it on
a solid foundation. ... m
Then go to work, friend—friends of the Plow,
the Furnace and the Workshop—friends of our
oonntry—unite, heart and hand, to make per
manent “The Agricultural Congress,’ estab
lished to advance and elevate all industries.
Respectfnlly submitted,

President Agricultural Congress.

FRANK BLAIR ON THE SITUATION.
The South Must not Stand Bock—Better
to Concede Men than Principles—Carl
Kcburz and onr Foreign Friends.
Montgomery, October 20.—Gen. Blair, of the
snb-Ku-klnx Committee, in a speech last night
alluded to the proposition that in the next Dem
ocratic National Convention the South decline
to be represented, bnt accept whatever candi
date for President the Democrats of the North
offer. He dissented from the proposition, as did
every Democrat in the West and North. The
triumph of the Democratic party is the safety
of tbe South, and who should guard its safety
but Sothern men? If they fail, may not others
prove faithless ? The Sonth has no question of
personal favorites, but their choice will fall on
him who is most likely to carry the banner in
triumph. If the Sonth fail3 to send her prudent
and wise men, it will be claimed as a refusal to'
go with'Northem Democrats because of the New
Departure, and because the spirit of rebellion
still burns under the mouldering ashes. He was
no friend of the New Departure, but believed in
the patriotism and purity of motive of those who
had chosen that path. While he would never
yield his own convictions as to the constitu
tionality of the usurpation of the Radical party,
he was willing to fight the Radicals in any shape
that the Democratic party may determine. Hei$
believed the new departure policy failed to bring
success in the election this summer and autumn
for the reason that it was a confession of inabili
ty to carry the elections upon onr own princi
ples. In that confession the party failed to
place candidates before tbe people in harmony
with the platform. Thus, while Southern Demo
crats were disgnsted at the concession, no Re
publicans were conciliated. The future don’t
look good nnder the losses of the summer and
autumn. The Republican party contains in
itself the seeds of discontent, bitterness, rivalry
and disaffection. The renomination of Grant
could not, in his opinion, be defeated. He is
now dictator in the Republican party, and he
aspires to be in the country at large. He will
dictate his own nomination. Some of the most
conscientious, able and courageous men, stand
ing highest in tbe Radical party, will leave it
when Grant is nominated; will burn their ships
when they fail to defeat the nomination, and
take good pains to defeat his re-election.
Instead of going for a new departure Blair
preferred to give a guarantee to disappointed
Republicans by the nomination of a Republi
can, who would draw to us by a much stronger
guarantee than the mere words of a platform
the support of those disappointed with Grant
and the Radical party. We could all vote for a
Republican who favors universal amnesty and
is against Ku-klux bills and military law. Vir
ginia has adopted this policy. Shall the Democ
racy of the Sonth hesitate to follow her exam
ple? We have taken hold of it in Missouri, and
Missouri would in tbe Fxesidential election, he
believed give a larger majority than any other
State for tho candidate of the Democratic party.
The men of foreign birth are the men to
whom we aro to look in the coming struggle.
They come from countries where despotism is
practical and know its badges and signs and are
already recognizing them. Their leading man
and ablest representative is now proclaiming
opposition to Grant and his administration; that
he has taken his departure and burned his ships.
It was Carl Schnrz who led the entire. German
element of Missouri to break down the disfran
chising clause of her constitution, and arrayed
his fellow-countrymen as one man against tho
administration and to despise its officers, pat
ronage and power. They stand fairly and
squarely to-day solidly to the last man against
alt’disfranchisements and for universal amnesty.
They -are opposed to Ku-Klnx legislation,
against the suspension of habes corpus, and if
tho Democrats put forward a man, or accept
one who may bo put forward by others, who
is sonnd upon these principles, he will re
ceive tho entire German vote in tho United
States, numbering from five hundred to eight
hundred thousand men.
Tlie Western Fires—Horrible Scenes.
A letter was received at Green Bay, Wiscon
sin, on October 14th from a committee sent up
to Peshtego to relieve the sufferings of the citi
zens of that city. We quote from the Tribune,
of the 19th, a part of its contents a3 follows:
“I am now writing by the light of a piece of
pork with a stick through it and stud: in the
ground. Our tents are rather shabby affairs.
Still, we are cheerful, and mean to work as long
as we can accomplish any good. * * * It
seems that the tornado was fearful, and the
country was one sea of fire, making the heat
intense beyond power of endurance. Throe
settlements on the Sugar Bush Road were en
tirely consumed. In many cases the men bo-
came deranged and gave up in despair; and,
sooner than be roasted alive, deliberately com
mitted suicide with knives and Other weapons.
Large numbers of sufferers are arriving at this
point, from the interior, every hour. We are
administering to their wants by binding up
their wounds, and giving them food, and send
ing them to Menominee and Marinette©. Wo
are camped on the river whero once was the
village of Peshtego, but where not a single
building has been left standing.
“The water will be drawn from the pond to
morrow, where we expect to find from 100 to 125
dead bodies, who were drowned in attempting
to escape" from the fire. It is now estimated
that the whole number of people drowned and
burned to death will reach 500. Whole families
yet remain unburied. The great difficulty seems
to have been that tho people inhaled the fire,
and hundreds are now suffering from this cause.
Of their intense agony no tongue can tell or
words describe; such ghastly sights we hope
never to see again. I will mention one case of
a little girl, 12 yeais old, who saved her little
sister from death, but who was advised by many
to desist from the attempt lest she herself should
perish. She heeded them not, however, bnt
by the most heroio efforts she succeeded in res
cuing her little sister from the merciless flames.
Her father, mother, brothers, and other sisters
perished in the devouring element. And after
the fire had abated somewhat, she worked her
way back over hot ashes and burning coals and
dragged the dead bodies of her relatives out in
to an open space, and then stood watching their
charred remains all day and through the long
and desolate night that followed. That is child
heroism the like of whioh was never recorded.”
“8:80.—Another team has just come in with
wounded persons. It has travelid all day
through a thickly settled country, but never saw
a single house standing. The driver says that
the country is literally covered with dead and
dying victims. In one place alone forty dead
bodies were found lying together. One man
was found who had traveled since Sunday with
a little child in his arms, subsisting on potatoes
which were found in the fields. We gave the
child some wine and brandy whioh partially
revived it. The little creature was nearly dead
in its father’ arms.” '
News in Brief.—The Chicago custom house,
with its vault in which upwards of $2,000,000
were burned, is pronounced by the Tribune, of
that city, to have been “a fraud of the most
barefaced description.” The term “fire-proof,”
applied to it, is “a piece of irony the most
acute.”
Seventy or eighty prisoners in jail at Chicago
were discharged by the fire, but one, a prison
keeper, who had caused the death of a convict,
gave himself np sgain.
Wm. H. Johnson, of Lake Forest owner of
200 lots in Milwaukee avenue, offers them tent
free for three years for the purpose of erecting
upon them cheap houses for the homeless.

barn the fire originated; pronounces tbe story
false that the fire broke ont owing to the carry
ing of a kerosene lamp into the stable. She was
in bed and asleep when the fire commenced.

Yonr Threats will Fail.
There is a determined effort being made to
prevent investigation of the condnot of Gov.
Bollock, and save him from the consequences
of any misconduct in offioe of which he may
be found guilty. We cannot understand what
a few persons mean, by whatthey say, if this is
not the object. It is freely predicted that, if
Bullock is impeached and removed from offico,
no matter what proof may be adduced, in less
than thirty days thereafter the whole country
will be pnt nnder military rule, and civil gov
ernment suspended. This unmanly prediction
is very quietly, but with a very confident air,
whispered around by some who profess to be
Democrats; and by some who claim to have
aided, by their individual influence, in saving
us from military rule in days gone by, giving
individual pledges for good behavior in the fu
ture. V
A few persons belonging to these and like
classes, are uttering warning notes of the con
sequences of so rash an act as removing from
office a Governor who may be convicted of
high crimes and misdemeanors. The plea is,
apparently, that General Grant will support
and uphold convicted felons and pnblio plun
derers, and punish the people who impose the
penalties of law upon the perpetrators of such
crimes.
Those who urgo this plea aro either lacking
in nerve to do right, or aro aiming to cover np,
apologize for, and protect wrong doing. The
same unmanly plea was urged moat vehement
ly, and threats even were made, before Holden
of North Carolina, was removed; but he was
found gnilty of grave offences, and turned ont.
The honest men of the Legislature were not de
terred from performing their duty by such pre
dictions and threats.
We trust the Legislature of’Georgia will not
hear these evil predictions, but will disohargo
their duty to the State and the people, and take
the consequences.
When the Legislature meets, it will, of course,
investigate the charges which will be preferred
against the Governor. It will, we have no donbt,
make a clear and impartial investigation, unin
fluenced either by passion on the one hand, or
fear on the other. If he is fonnd to bo innocent
of any wrongdoing, ho will be vindicated, ashe
ought to be. If he i3 found gnilty of crime or
misdemeanor, he will be turned out of his office,
as he ought to be. Those who are trying to
hush up investigation, or to save him from pun
ishment if found guilty, by appealing to cur
fears and prophesying evil, are wasting their
breath. Such, at least, is our judgment in this
case.
We believo the Legislature is composed of men
who are made of sterner stuff than to quail or
shrink from pnblio dnty, before snch wickedly
intended prophesyings.—Atlanta Sun.
Prairie Firm’s In Dakota—A Race lor
Life.
La Crosse, Wis., October 18.—A party has
arrived in this city who traveled several days
through and along the burning district of Da
kota and Northwestern Minnesota. For some
days previous to leaving Cheyenne River, in Da
kota, at a point 75 mile3 west of tho crossing of
the Northern Pacifio Railroad at Red River, a
dense, smoky atmosphero prevailed, which each
day grew more dense, warning them that im
mense “prairie fires” were approaching rapidly,
and the party deemed it prudent to move east
ward as fast as possible. They made immediate
preparations, but found that they were in the sad
dle none too soon. The intense beat and weight
of smoko affected them very ranch, and soon af
ter starting they were forced to ride as rapidly
as possible. All through that long day they toiled
along, their eyes nearly blinded, with parched
throat and cracked lips and intense thirst, till at
nightfall they came in sight of Red River, hav
ing ridden 75 miles without rest or halt but
once. • At points aloDg the route tho wall of
flames would bo quite near. Its roar conld bo
heard many mile3, and its rapid motion was
surprising. The line of fire seemed to bo a
solid wall of flame of about 20 or 30 feet in
height, and moved as rapidly as a fleet horse
could run. Occasionally a portion of the line
would break away in bodies of forty or more
feet square, and be carried with almost electrio
rapidity a distance of fifty or a hundred rods
ahead, and then strike tho high, dry grass,
which would immediately ignite and add it3 de
stroying force to tho already gigantic confla
gration.
After resting at Red River the party, reduced
to three persons, moved on eastward and south
ward, passing over a district but lately burned.
They could not distinguish an object fifty yards
away, great heavy clouds of smoke hanging like
a pall through all the distance of 250 miles
traveled before reaching the Mississippi River,
and even there tho smoke was vary oppressive.
They deviated somewhat from a usual route
traveled, and found at different points the
charred remains of three human beings, noth
ing left bnt the bodies, and those burned to a
crisp. Nothing could bo found that wonld in
any way identify the burned corpses.—N. Y.

EXIT KIMBALL.
Bnllock Tarns over the Brunswick ana
Albany Bntlway to President (Screven,
or the Atlantic anil Gnir Railroad.
In a proclamation elsewhere published, Gov
ernor Bnllock announces, in substance, that
things not being altogether lovely with the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, he has placed
that institution in charge of Col, John Screven,
of Savannah, President of the Atlantic and
Gnlf Railroad, and until all claims due labor
ers and contractors, and for furnishing material
are settled, the bonds of that road endorsed by
the State, and State bonds exchanged for the
second mortgage bonds of said road, will not be
recognized as having any claim for State re
demption.
This,'we .suppose, is the beginning of the end
of Mr. H. I. Kimball’s developing career in
Georgia. Commenting npon this proclamation,
the Atlanta Era, of yesterday, says:
We learn that his Excellency Governor Bol
lock, acompanied by one of his Secretaries, and
by Judge Brown, left the city Iastnight for New
York.
The object of the Governor’s visit is to make
a rigid examination of the condition of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad' Company’s fi
nancial affairs in New York, and we understand
that he expects to reach New York on Thursday
morning—and will return on Saturday night
from New York, reaohing here on Thursday
morning—the day before the meeting of the
Legislature—prepared to lay all the factsbefore
that body.

THE LOADED BICE.
A Fearful Sight on tbe Ohio—A Berninis
ccnce of Nearly Hair a Century Igo,
It was in the fill of 1830 that the writer of
this sketch, while detained at Louisville await
ing the rise of the Ohio river to begin his jour
ney to New Orleans, first made the acquaintance
of Mr. Harris, a wealthy young merchant of the
above named city, who had been spending the
summer in .Cincinnati, where he had gone to
settle np some accounts of long standing. He
was now bn his way home, carrying with him a
large amount of money whioh he had collected
for the firm of which he was a junior member.
The season had been remarkably dry, and in
consequence the river was lower than conld be
recollected by the oldest settler; bnt as the an.
tumnal season advanoed, when the semi-annual
rise of water might be confidently expeicted;
many travelers arrived at Louisville to take
advantage of tho earliest boats for the lower
country.
After many disappointments the river began
to swell in good earnest, and all hurried on
board of their respective steamers to secure
their passage home.
Mr. Harris and I, after having selected onr
Btate-room and seen to the safety of onr bag
gage, had leisure to look around us and make
the acquaintance of our fellow travelers. We
found to our intense disgust that it had been
our misfortune to take passage with as large
and as accomplished a set of gamblers as ever
disgraced decent society. They were bound
down the river on a “professional tour” through
the Southern States.
As soon as we were well under way the im
plements of their nefarious trade were brought
forth. Faro, rouge et noir and various other
games were exhibited to tempt the unwary to
risk their money. At first many of the gentle
men on board objected to having the cabin
tamed into a gambling hell; but the profes
sionals loudly protested that they played only
on the square, and furthermore declared that
should one of their number be caught cheating
the stakes should be forfeited, and he put on
shore at the nearest landing. After this no
more was said, and the numerous games went
on without interruption.
For some time Harris, who was known to
have ft large amount of money in his possession,
and who was an objeot of the gamblers’ eape
cial regard, firmly doolined aU invitations to
“try his luck.” But one evening, after the
supper table had been cleared,- he, weary cf
their importunity, or yielding, as he afterwards
told me, to a natural love for the excitement of
play, consented to make one of a party of four
who were about to sit down to a game of cards
for small stakes, just to pass away the time.
For a while my interest in the fortunes of
Harris induced me to remain at his side and
watch the chances of the game; but as the
sums staked wero small, and as the parties
seemed evenly matched in point of skill, I soon
tired of such uninteresting employment, and
retired to a distant part'of the cabin to amnse
myself with a book—in the contents of whioh I
almost immediately became absorbed. I read
on for some timo, probably an hour and a half;
but while pausing to out the leaves (the book
was a new one) I became conscious that an un
usual stillness pervaded the room. There was
no longer to be heard the rattle of dice, the
sharp click of tho ivory “faro check,” or the
subdued murmur of the players. Raising my
eyes to see what could be the cause of the sub
dued stillness, I saw that all the “banks” had
been deserted, and tho players were standing
motionless aroond the table at which I had left
Harris and his companions engaged at euchre.
Wondering what would induce men who were
accustomed to risking the largest stakes on the
tnrn of a card to take such an interest in so
small a game, I th/ew down my book, and, ap
proaching the party, soon made my way to the
table. I saw at once that a great change had
taken place since I had been a looker-on. The
stakes were largely increased, and two of the
parfy, either unable or too timid to risk such
large amouqjs, bad withdrawn from the table.
Harris and one of the gamblers, hewevor, still
retained their seats, and with eagdr faces and
shaking hands, shuffled the cards. Fortune
seemed to have favored Harris, for just as I
reached the spot he marked the last point in a
closely contested game, while the professional,
with a fierce oath, dashed down the cards and
challenged him to give him his revenge with
dice, to which proposition, after a moment’s
hesitation, Harris assented.
The dice and cups were produced, and tbe
exoited gamesters again bet their money, bnt
no longer with the same result—Harris’ good
luck seemed to have deserted him, and his an
tagonist won stake after stake. Harris seemed
now wild with excitement. He doubled every
time, until at last no less than ten thousand
dollars lay upon the table, to be won or lost at
a single throw of the dice. Again the gambler
was successful. < Harris now sprang from bis
chair, and calling on his antagonist to remain
where he was, repaired to his state-room, and
returning in a few minutes, he dashed down
upon the table a large roll of bank notes, say
ing at the same time to the gambler:
You have already won from me over fifteen
thousand dollars. The bank bills represent
donble that amount; dare you risk a like sum,
and let the ownership of the whole be deoided
by a single oast.
The gambler at once expressed his willing
ness to do so, but deolared he had not so muoh
money in his possession. The deficiency was,
however, made up by others of the fraternity,
and they prepared to resume the game. There
was a large oarving fork lying near Harris,
which the waiter had negleoted to remove when
he ha? cleared the table that evening. This
Harris, with a careless and apparently (as he
took his seat) accidental movement of his arm,
drew dose to his side.
All now drew near in eager expectation. Har
ris seized the enp, and shaking the- dice vio
lently for a moment, dashed them befqre him.
I conld scarcely suppress a cry of exultation
when I saw he had thrown donble fives, within
one of the highest number that it is possible to
make.
The professionals cast uneasy glanoes upon
each other, but Harris’ antagonist only Bmded
scornfully, and threw the ivory oubes toward
him. Just, however, as he was placing them
in the box, they slipped through his fingers and
fell npon the floor.
He stooped and recovered them in an instant,
but as be reaohed forth his hand to take the
cup, Harris, whose eyes had a fixed, determined
look, and whioh had never for a moment been
off bim, suddenly seized the fork, and with a
movement quick as that of the-deadly rattle
snake, stuck the sharp prongs through his wrist,
literally pinning it to the table, at tbe same time
presenting a cocked pistol fall at his head.
There was a yell from the wounded man, and a
volley of imp reeations burst from his associates.
A dozen weapons wore planted at the breast of
Harris. He, however, was equal to the occa
sion. Not a muscle of his face moved, and his
voice was not raised the least when he spoke.
“One moment, gentlemen,” said he, “you
your .number be detected in foul play, tho stakes
should be forfeited and he summarily punished.
If the dice nnder the hand I now hold impris
oned be not false, then do with me as you will.
If, however, I prove oorrect in my assertion, I
demand the fulfillment of yon threat.”
By this time every male passenger had col-
. . lected around the table, and tho gamblers saw
tions. One of the Lords, in the course of the j by their looks and drawn weapons that they were
negotiations, exclaimed“You say we may be | not to be.trifled with. So they were forced, re-
above the dash of our ponderous wheels and the
rush of the mighty river. Screams for mercy,
fearful imprecations and chilling blasphemies.
Harris hid his face in his hands and wept like
a child. Strong men tinned pale, and the very
gamblers looked at each other with whitened
cheeks and trembling lips.
Of his fate there could be no doubt. The
strongest swimmer could not for a moment stem
that fearful torrent, and to remain npon the
bank was bnt to choose a lingering and more
fearful death.
There was no more playing on board the boat
that trip, and at the first landing most of the
passengers left her, fleeing from jt as a place
ccursed. Among those who left was Harris.
Years had passed when we met again, bnt he
trembled when he spoke of that fearful night on
the Ohio, and said he had never touched a card
since then. ,
GRANT IN MAINE.
Tbe President's Travels in tbe Flue Tree
State and What be Didn’t Get There,
Bangor (Oct. 19) Correspondence-New York World.]
At abont G:30 o’clock last Tuesday afternoon
President Grant reached this city, after the
train which brought him had inn over a too am
bitious cow which stood on the bridge at Pro,
sumpscot endeavoring to obstruot the great
American Gobler’s passage to the pasture lands
of its fathers. When it was scattered in all di-
restions its eldest child—a fine two-year old—
collected its legs, gave a wild, upbraiding low,
presented a rear view whioh wonld have en
chanted Landseer, and tore down the road at a
tremendous rate. Gen. Grant swore dreadfully
in the French language, with which he has been
thoroughly conversant since .boyhood, and,
turning to Secretary Robeson, asked in the
purest Italian what was the Greek for a runaway
oalf—‘'one of them fellahs with thick legs and
bushy tails that run so like lightning”—and in
sisted on having his answer in Latin or Arabio,
ho didn’t care which. Robeson turned to Gen.
Belknap, who suggested “Grantos”in an under
tone, but Robeson wouldn’t tell Grant, and
thus early in his prgress the President was 1 dis
appointed—he received nothing, not even a
reply.
At Kendall’s Mills the General saw a bevy of
pretty girls waiting at the station. His eyes
brightened, he threw away his cigar, and rushed
like mad to the door of his car, and then stood
on the platform. Lizzy Merrill, one of the
sweetest girls in the world, made a dive for his
ruby Bps, and he was just about to imprint a
passionate hi® 3 on her m&uth, when “jerk” went
the train, the couplings clashed, and away went
the Presidential car, just as happiness was with
in the Presidential grasp. He didn't get a taste
of Lizzy’s lips, and returned to his seat a dis
appointed man, expressing hi§ determination to
pnt three more counties in Sonth Carolina nn
der martial law.
“And serve ’em right,” said Gen. Porter. “If
these Northerners won’t give ns what we want,
why, take it ont o’tho Southerners.”
When the train reached Portland the General
stuck his head out of the window and saw an
old gaffer shaking his head and looking sadly
at the ground.
“Pshaw,” said the General, “they can’t have
anything worth getting here; drive on.”
Entering Skowhegan the cars passed a hat
ter’s shop. The General quickly removed his
hat.and ostentatiously brushed it, his motive
was rapidly divined, and out ran the hatter Vith
a bran new article which he handed np to the
great man.
“Thank you,” said Grant. “John, put it
with the rest.”
But when he reached 'Bangor he found 'the
present to be a second hand bonnet and out of
style, so in his rage and disgust he threw it into
the street below.
At Burnham the same old scene was ro-enact-
ed. Nobody gave bim anything, and he began
to fear nobody wonld give him anything bnt
the cold shoulder for dinner at Bangor; so in
despair he turned to Creswell and asked him
for a Cigar and the answer to a conundrum.
The conundrum was this: “Why is now the
best of all times ?’’
Oreswel knew, bnt he wouldn’t t6lk
•‘Because,’’says Grant, “it is the Present.
Give us a fresh cigar.”
With 6uch pleasant flashes of wit was the
road from Augusta to Bangor made bright
“Butwhat will it fetch?’ - says the General.
Creswell knew, but he did’nt like to tell.
Bangor’s name should be Bangall. It is a
city of ovations, and that is the reason why the
President visited. When he arrived, prepara
tions were making for the formal opening of
the European and North Amerioan Railway,
running from Bangor to St. John,- in Canada, a
distance of 202 miles; and theBangoreans had
determined to kill two birds with one stone,
even if one of the birds was a buzzard. In
common honor of the occasion and the man,
triumphal arohes spanned the streets, whioh
were crowded with people from all neighboring
towns and cities. The city of Richmond alone
had brought 100 people from Portland to view
the pageant, which, aptly enough, considering
the man who was there, they pronounced as if
it were spelled “pay gent.” Ten companies of
soldiers and many brass bands ran through the
town; the “Mechanic Bines,” of Portland, and
the “Oxford Bears,” were there, and marched
finely, as they always do. The bands played
‘Come, give me, love,” “If this vast universe
were mine,” and other suggestive aits, and, be
cause the President was to bother©, the soldiers
had been specially drilled in “presenting”
arms.
The shade of evening had fallen upon the
city; the angels had hung.out tjieir lanterns and
tried to trim a brand-new moon so that it wonld
burn brightly upon so auspicious an occasion,
when the special train bearing the greatest of
men and his merry men all came thundering np
to the railway station. The people were eager
to view Ulysses, but unfortunately in stepping
from the car Secretary Robeson got in front of
Grant, and was mistaken for him. The people
yelled, and eaeb, bearing bis little tribute of
j ova, made a dir© at him. Watches of the pur
est oroide were showered upon him, hats were
jammed upon his head, and he was even thrown
down by a tailor who frantically endeavored to
draw a pair of pantaloons on the Secretary’s
legs. Women threw at him boxes labelled
“Mrs. Grant,” “Mi3s Grant,” “Master Grant,”
“Mr. Dent,” “Mrs. Dent,” and so on, till poor
Robeson was almost crazy. In the melee the
goods were trampled into the dust, and poor
Grant was forced to say to his man, “Too bad
John, don’t put those things with the rest.”
At last order was restored, and Mayor Dale
gave his hand to the President, who mechanic
ally tried to put it into his pocket, and looked
grieved and hnrt when he fbtmd that it was at
tached to the Mayor’s person. Then they en.
tered a barouche, the Mayor, the General, Mr.
Jewett, and Lord Lisgar, Governor-General of
Canada. Then followed the two Cabinets, and
the cortege drove off amid the wildest excite
ment, everybody of course wanting to “see”
But tb© homeless poor, who had nothing
“Nj,” said the General, “my appetites any
thing but good. Give me a little of tftt oold
shoulder of mutton.” This he scarcely touched,
and when, after dinner, speeches were made,
he quaffed bumpers of water to everybody’s,
health so fiercely that he upset his own. Soon
he drove back to his hotel, to'>k off. his coat, and
—so great is the power of habit—told John to
“hang it up.”
Early next morning a deputation of citizens
came to the Bangor Honse and Bhook the Pres
ident like chills and fever. It was too bad of
them, for Mr. Grant has long been afflicted with
a peculiar disease—“an itching palm,” tbe doc
tors call it—which makes-him experience the
most piognant agony whenever his hands is
touched save by thoso who apply a shinplaster
—strange misnomer!—to the corrupt member.
Then many bodies of soldiers paraded him about
the streets, and at last halted atNorombega Hall,
having passed along line3 of howling school chil
dren and other humble people on their way. Grant
rejoiced when he saw on a platform four beau
tiful young ladies, richly caparisoned, and cun
ningly contrived to make bim think of .Justice,
Liberty, America and England. Justice held a
sword, seeing which Grant did not even wince,
and America was robed in silk, on whioh a
heavy duty had been paid. It was all very touch
ing.
At the hall there was a dinner of pastry and
that everlasting cold meat, which, came near
making the President sick on the preceding
evening. Not a bottle was to be seen. Imag
ine the poor man’s feelings. For an instant he
had a notion that he wonld send Plegan Sheri
dan all over South Carolina and leave the Chi
cagoans to take care of themselves. About a
thousand people sat at meat, and all were hun
gry except poor Grant, who is never hungry ex
cept when he isn’t thirsty, and now he was dry
and arid as Sahara's sands. AVas there no help ?
He ponied some red vinegar into a goblet
of water, and tried to make himself think It
was claret, bnt his appetite was rained; then
everybody went to work making speeches, and
even Senator Hamlin attuned his vocal chords.
But Grant emitted only his customary thanks,
and returned home to his cheerless lodgings,
waiting'and longing for the morrow which would
take him jo Vanceborough. He hated Bangor,
and said to John:
“What a thing it is to be President up here.
I couldn’t kiss that little angel; Oros well .spoiled
all my presents; that hat has gone to the old
scratch; my drawers are worn out, and the oth-
era.won’t fit, and I haven’t had a square tod since
I’ve been hero! Heigho! South Carolina pays
for'this, you bet.”

The gambler was held secure in his chair, the
fork withdrawn, the dice examined, found to be
loaded—the true pair were conoealed in hla
sleeve. His fate-was-sealed in spite of desper
ate resistance. Strong grips stripped him of his
weapons, forced him into a boat end rowed
him to the nearest land, a low sand bank en
tirely surrounded by the river, and whose rapid-
ly rising waters promised soon to submerge it.
Upon this island, deaf to his piteous appeals
they forced him, and the steamer resumed her

dressed for dinner, which he was to take at the
house of the Hon. Hanibal Hamlin. As he was
dressing he looked plaintively at John and said:
“Ah, John, these drawers are all fall of
holes ; dear me, dear me 1”
“Never mind,” said his trusty man, “ here’s
a new pair of nice lamb’s-wool drawers, just
sent in by Draper & Co.”
The President’s face brightened as he softiv
murmured, “Ah, how kind they all are to me,
And then be tried to draw them on; but, alas!
they were too small, and he had to say, with a
sigh’:
*!Put them among the rest, John; the old
ones are good enough for me. Maybe they’ll
fit little Ulysses.” And so he had to wear his
old ragged things, but yet determined to make
Sonth Carolina pay dear for such a mishap.
At 8 o'clock Fifth street was alive with antic
ipation of joy, for there the President was to
dine with Senator Hamlin. When the party sat
down at the table Grant looked wearily around.
Not a decanter of brandy, wine, whisky or a
bowl of crambambnli was there, for it was in

Gen. Breckinridge then spoke as follows:
Ms Fjuends.—No ono can bo more sensible
than myself of this honor, and of tho high com
pliment paid me by my friends, which I attrib
ute to the effects of old companionship and
partiality, and not to my merits. Jn response
to your request, I present myself before you,
but when I express my sincere thanks for this
proof of your regard, I take it to bo a significa
tion of your respect and good will, accompa
nied, perhaps, here and there with a deeper and
warmer feeling of some old friends or comrades.
[Applause.] I don’t go about seeking these
things. On tho other hand, I am very far from
affecting indifference to them, and, in casting
up the sum of life’s griefs and pleasures, I shall
place this occasion in the scale against many of
a very opposite character it has been my for
tune to enconnter.
You do not expect me to say anything more.
I do not make specohcs, and if it were my habit
to do so, I doubt, whether, under the circum
stances, I could say anything that* conld be
more appropriate than to express the hope that
we are aildoingsomething, and thatnoidle.wMnJ
ing, repining man should receive or be entitled to
the respect of God, nor of man, nor of woman.
I shall conclude, by saying to these associated
in the old struggle, I have received your wel
come with heartfelt satisfaction. I return in
full measure the affeotion exhibited for me,
cherishing for yon a grateful recollection. As
for myself, I remain the same man as in past
years. And now, my friends, I beg you to
allow me to bid you good night. I do it with
the sincerest good wishes for each and all of
you, and if I were authorized to do so, I would
like to invoke a blessing on tMs city, which is
associated with a few sorrows, and with a very
great many of the most delightful recollections
of my life. _

support. Marshal Sharp, the President’s brother-
