At Brackett a tree overhanging the ring was occupied by men and boys, who thus saw the show free of cost. A performer’s feat inolnded firing a revolver on horseback, and at the first discharge a spectator fell dead from the tree. Thereupon the oirous men were mobh-id, and escaped only by a practical nse of their skill in horsemanship. British Consol Green, reporting on tbe trade of tbe Brazilian provinces of Para and Amazonas, states that tho crop of india robber, which was little over 2,000 tons in 1861, baa been steadily in creasing ever since, and reached 6,763 tons in the year 1875. There are vast rubber yielding districts which have never yet been tonched. The increase in 1875 was less than nsnal, owing to an ex* ceptionally long rainy season and mnch sickness. It having been asserted in partisan journals that tbe present House of Repre sentatives displayed great recklessness in passing Southern claims, a clerk of the Honsa has made a careful examination into the matter, which shows that the charge has no substantial basis. It ap pears that 119 of the 140 claims intro duced last winter wero old, and many were presetted by Northern members. Of tbe 100 cases reported favorably by the oommlttee of the Forty-third Congress (Bepnbliean) tbe omonnt recommended to be paid is $5,881,000, while the 52 cases which were reported favorably by the committee of tbe Forty-fonr'h Con* gress (Democratic) amount to $215,861. of which only $74,453 was actually passed by tho House A New York letter says: “Merchants and bosiness men are gradually settling down, in the conviction that the war on the Dmnbo must eventually oulminate in a great European oonfliot, in whiob Ger many aDd Austria, as wall as Russia, if not England, will be engaged, and no im portant commercial or financial venture running into the fntnre is now undertaken without keeping that contingency in view.

The entire end of the building facing the fall will be cf heavy glass, affording those within a grand view of the fall, while being perfectly protected from the spray. Stii “No Satisfaction.” Tho noonday dispatches yesterday had not a word about the general result in Ohio or Indiana, and hence wo were ana- bio to respond acceptably to private tele grams from abroad asking the newB, "We judge, however, that if the Republi can majorities in Ohio had been swelling under the gonial influence of further is- tnrae, or the Democratic majorities in Indiana had been falling off by the same process, we should have beard of it. An Oddity. We have a grotesque original, but ex oellent old friend and correspondent on the seaeoast, who still Ungers amid the hannts of his noble ancestors, though al most the last snrvivor of his race. He is a genuine specimen of the anoient domino, simple and ansophiatieated in heart and life, bnt pare and gentle, and withal possessed of a liberal education and con siderable learning. We print a few of his qnalnt jottings jast received per mail: The “Bed Quilt” (Wxixly Telegraph) weU ironed and folded came last night. It is read by all at home, for it is fall of patohes, printed over with flowers, fruits, figures and facts from every feature of man’s physiognomy.

THR SANDHILLS (WALTHOURVILLE) has been a place of refuge for many fleeing from smitten Savannah. Anato my, physiology, medicine and geography teach the instructive lesson that yellow fever is not a judicial tcourge. There is no phenomenon withont its normal ante cedents. Hygiene, as a science, will sooner or later mitigate the horrors and spread of so fatal a disease; or, these cities of the seaboard are only awaiting the inevitable doom of Tyre and Sidon. Although six or seven •'get-aways” have been sick here, there have been no deaths from fever. The family physician has very little to do. to-day is the first rainy day of this fall. It has been raining without cessation from day light. Superstition does not suggest this pluvial abundance is to erase the stigma that on Wednesday, a majority of 240 was given to Augustus Law, Republican can didate for the State Senate, for he is highly esteemed generally by both the races, of which heis a worthy compound without malice aforethought. Plainly he means well and the writer thinks will do well if elected—a fact yet to be deter mined by the retnrn from Tatnall coun ty. Election in Liberty was like a lamb. BUKOS says that Biceboro’s eleotion was not held by freeholders, and this will give good grounds to the whites to contest the seats of the negro or negroes represent ing Liberty county in the next Legislature. Sqnire Darsey, a supervisor at Hines- ville, insisted on every citizen doffing his hat and baring his poll as he presented hts ballot.

Respcotfnlly, A. M. Mol. \Vbicb Fierce Is It? MoBax, Ga., Ootober 11,1876 Editors Telegraph and Messenger i I wonld meet xespeclfnliy beg leave to tronblo yon for a little information which will be dnly appreciated by yonr many friends in Telfair. There is a man named Pierce who has been s^j earning in oar town for a few days, and is ostensibly the opponent of onr noble representative, General Phil Cock, in this the Third Congressional District, and olalms to be tho nominee of the Bepnbliean party, and says he is a native born eitizen of Lae oonnty, and rnns quite an extensive farm there. Now, we have lately seen it announced in the papers ttat the Republican party had nominated ono Camilla Pierce, a Western man, under pay of the Radical govern ment, who headed the negro mob at Camilla, two years ago, and ran off in time of the riot, only returning a short time since to ask office at the hands of his friends, so basely deserted by him in the hour of danger. Will yon, through the Telegraph and Messenger kindly inform us which of the Pieroes this is, now in onr midst, apparently confronting cm Rrmro, General Phil Cook, for Congres sional honors in the Third District ? He speaks here to day, bnt will not get a vote in the county nnlc?s he remains till the 7ch of November and votes for himself. Telfaib. This Pieros Is the same old ooon—the hero of the Camilla riot which caused tbe death of the poor foolish negroes at that plaoe some years since, and is now, and has been for years, an office holder under the Radical administration at Washington. He has cot, as we are informed, been in Georgia in years, and has no expectation of ever living here again. Ho is running for Congress in order, if defeated, as he anrely will be, to have some standing with Hayes, if that person ehcnld be eleoted President, for a fatter Federal offioe than he has now. If be can go back to Washington with tho prestige of having been cheated ont of his eleotion by “intimidation,” ho calculates his mas ters there will reward him handsomely. Oar advioe to onr friends in the Third District is to set down on him so heavily on tho 7th of November that ho will never again have any stomach for snch a little game as he ia now attempting to play. Mash him flit on the 7tb of No vember and ship him back to his owners. The Elections—All Bight. The results fully confirm the views we expressed last week—in fact, we oould not have foretold them better had we counted the votes beforehand. Ohio has gone Radical by a scant 6,000 majority, and will probably east a slightly inoreastd majority for Hayes, although a change of one-half of one per cent, wonld give the State to Tilden and Hendricks. Wo believe if tbe Demoorats would push the fight with as muoh vigor as they havo done, Ohio coaid be revolutionized by November. Indiana goes Demooralio by from five to eight thousand majority, and is donbly safe for the national tioket. West Virginia goes Demooralio by ten thousand majority, and elects a Legisla tnre two-thirds Damocralio, thus securing DdmecratA for two vacant seats in tbe United States Senate. Don’t donbt for one moment that the result of these crnoical tests of popular strength, wherein each party has done its utmost, have given a grand impetus to the cause of Tilden, Hendricks and R - form, and if the eampaiga is now pusli-:0 with tho vigor and boldness demanded Ly the oooasion the day is onrs. The Cor ruptionists are staggered, and a heavy and resolute charge will pat them to flight. Lot every Democrat now do h><* foil doty. Marshal MaoMahon’s son, on leaving St Oyr, was proudly traversing Versailles in the fall glory of his first regimental*, when be wa3 overhauled by a oolom • who pointed rut to him that his stock was not en tenuc; bnt on learning that the offender was the son of the Marsb*!- President, overwhelmed him with apolo gies. The Marshal heard of it and cod- flned both oolonel and son to tbe barrarks —th* latter for infringing regn^t'ori- an the former for not punishing the infrac tion. COLORADO, Beth Parties Still cialmlngthe State —One or the Strangest Huddles on Keeord. Denver, Con., October 10.—The Re publicans claim the Slate by 1,000 ma jority for the head of the ticket. In Douglas county, where the Democrats conceded the Republican representative, the Democrats elect the whole ticket by a majority of 6. The Democrats still claim the State by 287 majority. Mr. 8. T. Jenkins. We invite particular attention to the communication and card of this gentle man, published elsewhere. He has, by praotioal application, verified what can be done in Sonthweat Georgia in the matter of fruit and grape culture. Mr. Jenkins last year realized, chiefly from sales in the Atlanta market, about $1,600 in a few weeks from the yield of his early peaches alone, grown about two miles from Cathbert. The present year the fruit orop was a failure almost uni versally in Georgia. He has about 10.000 peaoh trees just commencing to bear; and a multitude of scuppernong, and other varieties of grape stocks. Also, a large and constantly in creasing nursery of yonng fruit trees. He is very enthusiastic in the belief that Southwest Georgia is better adapted to the growth of the peaoh than any other portion of the continent, and thinks If the people will co-operate and make a business of fruit culture, thus securing the nsnal shipping facilities, it will be the means of developing a new and high ly profitable industry in that portion of the State. We wish Mr. Jenkins all the success his zaal and enterprise richly merit, and shall greet, with pleasure, the appearance of the first number of the journal he expects to pnbliah in behalf of the material interests of Georgia. A Cbeap Centennial Trip. We beard last week of the cheapest trip to see the sights and glories of the grand Philadelphia show, on record. The horo is a substantial farmer living cot a thousand miles from Msoon, and he saw about as mnoh and reeolleoted it as clearly as anybody we know. He was gone six teen days, whioh Inolnded a sight at Ni agara, and his total expenses were jast eighty-five dollars. Daring this time he lived like a fighting cock on Georgia raised ham and honest home-made bread and batter, washed down by the mellow est of Georgia peaoh brandy, and was perfectly indepnedent of gouging restau rants and hotels. He had a good time, emphatically, saw nil tbe sights under- standingly, and reoollects them, and re tained home sound la mind, limb, morals and politios. Snch men don’t grow eve rywhere, and we wish there was a million joat like him in the good old State. Election Tactics. We find the folio (ring in the Savannah Morning News: A Bfcarp Radical trick was played at Biceboro, Ltberty oonnty, on election day. Tho Darien Timber Gazette publish es the following special notice: Biceboro, Liberty County. Ga., ) September 27, 1876 ) Editor Darien Gazette: Please announce through the columns of yonr paper that government rations, m view of the pesti lence now prevailing along the sea coast of Georgia, will be issued to all (both white and colored) who will apply to me at this place on the 4th of October next. Most respectfully yonrs, E. P. Unuk, Agent. The Hinesville Gazette, referring to tbe above, says: “Thera wero about fire handled ooloTed folks in Rioeboio on the 4tb, bnt we did not hear of any rations being received by any of them. We know there was a very strong Republican vote polled there;” and asks, “Who Is E. P. Unum?” We readily see into the matter, fheE Phiribus Unum being some Radical who took this means of gathering the ig norant negrcbs together at that preomot on election day. Bnt the beet part of the joke remains to be told. As will be seen in a letter from a correspondent in another column, after rallying by this ruse a big crowd of hun gry Radical voters, the sappy headed contrivers of the soheme did not have wit enough to comply with the law requiring freeholder* only to prestos over au eleo tion. The resnlt will be, that the vote of the Biceboro precinct will be thrown ont, and the negro elected lose his seat. Brides at tlie Centennial. From the New York Times.) Of all tho people who hva et the Cen tennial hotels, I think the newly married couples—Philadelphia Is full of them, by the way—are the only ones who are thor onghly contented end happy. It makes no difference to them whether the pota toes are watery, the meat dry, or tbe soup thin; and they don’t care a pin whether people talk to them or not. They live in a little world of their own, need no con versation bnt their owd, and have no thonght bnt for caoh other. They all try to act as though being married was an old story to them, and still for the life of them they can’t help taking each other’s hands every five minutes. The brides nearly all wear new watch chains. ■A New Food kTaut. From the Nashville Burner. J It is well known among farmers about Nashville that in plowing new ground in October a tabor is often tarned ap. It weighs from five to ton psr.nrfs, nnd has grown withont any signs on fhe surface to indicate its existence. It hna a black rough mouldy tied, and within a solid white enaroe grained snbstanoe, that when dried and pulverized very mneh rest mbles ordinary corn meal In taste and appearance.

The horse he secured was a fine looking animal, but at the time was suffering from some dis ease of the head. Mr. Bcott believed it to be “distemper,” and did not object to running the risk. About two weeks ago Mr. Soott’s hand began to inflame from a slight wound on the back of it, and be came in a few days a very ngly nicer, eauring him a great deal of pain. LaBt week he became sick of a fever, and Dr. Carter was called in. He found the pa tient suffering from fever, bat detected nothing different from an ordinary case of intermittent fever, and prescribed tbe nsnal remedies. Dr. Carter having occa sion to leave home, end the fever not abating, Dr. Ellis, of Elkton, was asked to attend Hr. Booth At Dr. E.’s first visit, last Saturday, he prescribed for in termittent fever, having first inquired about the sore band and being told that it had nearly healed. The next day, how ever, he|found Mr. Soott suffering with a raging fever and covered with “button faroy.” The disease was unmistakably “glanders,” and had been oommnnlcated from the glandered horse through the break in the akin of tbe hand Mr. Soott suffered the most fearful agony and delirium throughout the day and into the night of Snnday, when death ensued. Oases of persons Buffering from “gtan. ders” are very rare, but oooar often enongh to remind horsemen that the proper way to deal with a horse suffering from this fatal disease is to have him killed at once. A horse may have obronio “glanders” and live a long time, keep fat and work without difficulty, yet inoc ulate man ard beast with the deadly virus that is slowly sapping his existenos. Bad for tbe Bally. Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, M. C., from New York city, and Chairman of the National Democratio Committee, made a speech last Friday night in which he said he should, before the campaign closed, pay his respects to the late Jim Blaine. Mr. Hewitt, it is understood, has obtained from original sources a de tailed and exact statement of Blaine’s railroad transactions while Speaker, tho sensation accompanying the publication of which will be mnch greater than that which attended the Mulligan exposure last winter. A Lively American 'Widow. Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier.) There is great excitement in social cir cles over the announcement of Lord Henry Gordon Lennox’s forthcoming marriage to Mrs. Thos. Hicks, the socially famous, beautiful, and wealthy widow of this city. Her friends say they knew* she wonld make a good match, and her ene mies, or rivals, say they donbt tho cor rectness of the engagement as reported. Mrs. Hicks has a home at 10 West Four teenth street, bnt she oShillatea between New York and London continually. In both cities she has given entertainments of surpassing magnificence, her $3,000 dinner party to Lord Houghton hero last season being well remembered. Mrs. Hicks is of excellent family, very accomplished, and has a cultivated taste for literature and literary people. All the bright stars of the literary world are on her visiting list, and in London royal people are never alow to accept her invita tions. 'Twas she who declined to give up her rooms to the Queen of Holland at a London hotel unleft) the Queen ac cepted them at her courtesy. This the exalted lady of the Hague declined to do. Mrs. Hicks declined to vacate on any terms, and so the Queen went without her favorite rooms and found accommo dations elsewhere. Unlike some other wealthy widows, Mrs. Hicks is very gen erous, liberal and lavish with her money. She spends $40,000 annually, and the poor get a considerable portion of this amount. Her beauty is really remarka ble, and her toilettes, all of foreign man ufacture, are marvels of elegance, taste and style. Mrs. Hicks is now in London, and tho gossips have it that she will become the wife of Lord Lennox in No vember. All Gloomy. “There are no expressions of satisfac* tion,” says tho Press Association, "in ad ministration circles over the result of Tuesday’s elections.” That is wonderfuL No satisfaction when every line of the press dispatches has shown—"Republi can gains ?” "Republican gains.” Why is there no satisfaction? Ha3 Grant turned Democrat that he can feel no sat isfaction in “Republican gains ?” Atlanta, Ga. , Ojtober 10, 1876. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In tending, about the 1st of November, to isane a paper In the interest of Southwest Georgia, and knowing your appreciation of all enterprises for the good of that section, as well as the power of yonr valuable jonrnal there, tbe enolosed oard is sent for yonr publication. Tbe aim of the paper will be to meddle in no way with politios, to appeal to no prejndioes or passions, and to beg no emigration, bnt in a plain, simple, matter-of-faot way, to indace onr own people to look, with open eyes and believing hearts, at the available resources and real capabil ities of tbe country, and to pnt into op eration, with their own hand sis ure means for its immediate development. It will furnish practical evidence of the profit in fruit culture, and will encourage in creased acreage in vineyards and or chards. The importance of a diversity of crops will be made plain to every one, and it is hoped a lively appreciation will be aronsed for tbe necessity of utilizing our labor by covering our hills with grasses, oats, hogs and cattle. It is also desirable, and au effort will be made to have some of tbe thousands of Northern visitors who go to Jf cksonvi.lo and retnrn via Savannah and Charleston, to come back by Thomasville, Albany and Ma con, and see something of tbe hill country of the Egypt of the Confederacy. My plans have been made known to bnt one person in that eection, and be at once proposed to donate $100 towards the en terprise. His offer was declined, and believing tbe project will bo self-sustain ing, not a dollar in subscription is asked for. Of course, if Mr. Wadley or his generons superintendents tekind enongh to extend the usual courtesies, or favor the interest so much as to offer mo a free pass on their road, it will be thankfully received. Hoping you will Insert tho card en closed, I am, Yonrs truly, S. T. Jenkins. No Satisfaction! It makes us feel bad to read in the tele grams that tbe Washington authorities feel no satisfaction over the results of last Tuesday’s elections. Tbe Granules should imitate the noble example of one of the heroes in Captain Maryatt’s trian gular duel, who, having received a navy pistol shot in tho rear, professed himself folly satisfied. Philadelphia, Oetohcr 12.—At the morning session of the Board of Mis sions of tho Protestant Episcopal Church, the Right Rev. G. T. Bedell, Bishop of Ohio, in the chair, the committee to which was referred the report of the trea surer, made their report, whioh shows the total receipts of the Board to be $295,000, and the disbursements $309,451.

Benns, the new proprietor of the Bntler Herald, there is certainly no disoonnt on hisplnok, as everybody will admit, after reading this card: To oua Citizens and the Public.— Dear friends and fellow-oitizens: We an nounce to yon in this issue of the Herald, that we have reeeutiy purchased the en tire interest of the Bntler Herald, from Mr. W.

Let the world say what they please abont ns, for we are a pure Democrat, heart and sonl, and we are bound to succeed. Let the storm come as it may, bnt we will anchor onr labors in tbe bosom of Democracy. 'Rah! for Benns. The Rome Courier burals into poetry over the recent narrow escape made by Norcros8 from beooming Governor of Georgia. It siugelh as follows: Old man Jawcross Is at a loss To understand his Aggers; And he’s puzzled, also. Very much, to know What has become of his ruggers. By the way, we see the old gentleman has gone to seek surcease of sorrow in the glories of the great Philadelphia show. The Chronicle and Sentinel calls atten tion to the fact that the late Hon. Thos. Stocks, of Greene county, whose death, aged 92 years, was recently annonnoed, bad lived nndor every President of the United States from Washington to Grant Major John H. Glutton, Democrat, has been eleoted Senator from the Fonrth district by 320 majority, which leaves Weasalowsky, from Albany, alone in his glory as the only representative of Radi calism in that body. The Athens Watchman says a negro from South Carolina who was arrested in that town last Friday by polioeman W. T. Mood, watohed an opportunity when Mr. M. was off his guard end knocked him down with a rock. While lying prostrate, he then beat him over the head with the breach of his gun, fracturing the sknil. Mr. Moon, it is hoped, will recover, al though severely hurt. The negro was committed to jail to await his trial for three offences—larceny, resisting an offl oer and assault with intent to kill. • The ginhonse of Mr. N. B.

He served in the war of 1812, and drew a pension therefor. The Columbus Enquirer says Mr. N. L.

The Thomasville Enterprise has the fol lowing weather item: We have just hod some most seasonable rains. They came too late to benefit any of the crops we suppose, but in other respects it came none too late. Our people wero begin ning to suffer badly for the want of it. In town many wells bad gone dry and many more wero nearly so. The dust was per fectly awfal—it never settled stall scarce ly, day or night In the oonntry nearly every pond, branch and creek had dried np and stock of all kinds were suffering for water and forage. The Ooklocknee was nearly dry, and a little longer contin uation of the drouth would certainly have been terrible In its results. The Augusta Constitutionalist says OoL Jame3 D. Waddell has now in press “The Life of Linton Stephens,” and we have been permitted to see Eomeof the advanoe proof sheets. When it was known that Col. Waddell was to write tbe biography of Jndge Stephens, it was a matter of conrso that it sbonld be expected by all who know tbe gifted writer that his la bor of love wonld be well done. This expectation will not be disappointed, if the balanoo of the work shall prove as entertaining as the pages wo have seen. From them we make one or two extracts this morning, and hope to be able to follow them with others as tbe work progresses. In his “Introdnetion,” Col. Waddell says: “The life of Linton Stephens was one of character rather than of inoident, more the life of a think er than an aotor upon the stage of human affairs. He chose to be a spectator of passing events, and was oontent to weigh their significance and watch their success through the “loopholes of retreat,” so ns not to “feel the pressure of the oiowcL” He bad little relish for tbo hot arena of the world-strifo. The mild dignity that environs the good citizen was more beau tiful and more attraotive in bis eyes, and more gratefnl in his tastes and habitndes than the applause of listening Senates, or the victor’s wreath of laurel. The blaze of publio notoriety he shnnned. He shrank from all manner of self-exposition or display. Vain-glory was not among the imperfections of his nature. He was per fectly satisfied with knowing the truth of any thing or nny fact himself—uncar ing whether the outside world appreciat ed his knowledge thereof or not. Hencs ho bad no ambition to make history, he was content to study its lessons, inter pret ita facts and learn wisdom from it* 1 teachings. Although it was impossiblo for a man of tho parts ho had not to bo conspicuous among men, and although his opinions upon every subject, largo enough, to agitate a free people, were anxiously sought after, impatiently wait ed for and eagerly canvassed; yet he never held, nor—left to his own volition —ever aspired to hold high political Station. For this reason the general reader of these pages will remnrk tho lacking, somewhat, of that significance of events in the story of bi3 life which imparts the chief interest, attraction and charm to biography."

Tho widow Minton had seen better days. How far back wasn't exactly cer tain; but she had seen them. Better days bung moulding abont her, like tbe defaced shreds of antiquated embroidery. The sturdy gossips of tbe sea side vil lage, who went abont with their skirts tucked up and able for any work, looked askance at the widow Minton, with her pitifnl meagerness of aepeot. her flick ering black eyes, and her trailing gown. They nudged each other, and said: "Bet ter days—Lord save ns!” Bat the widow did not trouble the neighbors much, nor they her. A body who couldn’t do a heartsome hand’s stir ring was host left alone to her brooding, and tho widow’s smoky little cabin, soli tarily apart on the seashore, was left protty much to herself anfi Tom. Tom was a sturdy brown-faoedlad.who picked np a living by doing odd jobs for the boatmen and then taking a day for fishing. Tom had probably never seen better days. The widow shook her head over him—so stupidly content^ poor Tom 1 eo beaming and good natnred over beg- gerliness and hopelessness. A tall, well- grown fellow, with bare feet, a tom straw hat and a red shirt. Tom took the world easily, looking with reverent eyes on his mother's by-gone gentility, bnt by no means seeming to covet it for himself. The widow deemed it due her past re spectability to be seen at church *ot a Sunday evening, and yon could see two walking at twilight along the sand* to gether, she with her dean pocket-hand kerchief folded over her old hymn book and a certain donbtfnl hesitancy of gait, as if heaven itself might be looking down critically on her shabby black gown and rusty bonnet. As for Tom, patient Tom, ho went plodding slowly after her, with his smiling face, whistling to himself as be went Always patient, always plod ding, poor Torn! Patiently falling asleep daring tbe sermon, and patiently listen ing, open-mouthed, to the closing hymn, bis careless, bright face, contrasting so oddly with his mother’s querulous and tear-worn visage, won for him the sobri quet of Widow Minton’s rainbow. The minister of the parish, mistaken soul, deemed it incumbent to make a call on tbe widow; and on charity bent, it is said he unwarily offered to employ her services in bis household for a season. He deemed it his duty to rouse the old woman to activity. He did ronse her; and it is averred that he never found time to call at the cabin again. Did he take her for a common household drudge, or a low born field hand ? She thanked God she had too mnch spirit left yet to pnt her self under anybody’s feet. - He hadn’t far to go to find scores of drudges and diggers, bnt be might go farther before he knew a lady when he saw her. It might have been the afternoon after the good man’s visit that the widow sat idly , brooding at her cabin door. Her eye3 had a wandering, far away look, and her face was keener and thinner than ever. Beyond the bitiff which sheltered her cabin, stretched a far line of seacoasi* white and gleaming silverly in tbe sun, Far off, a group of bathers, in bright dresses, frolicking between shore and water. They came from the great hotel down beyond; she conld almost catch the sound of their voices as she sat slowly rocking in her doorway. It was a quiet afternoon; the air was soft and soothing, and the widow’s heart so fall of bitter ness felt itself sweeten and soften in the stillness. This part of the shore, shel tered by its overhanging rock, was sel dom disturbed by intruders, but pres ently tbe watcher’s eye caught sight of a young girl splashing and frolicking in the water jnst beyond the rocks. It was a pretty sight, the rounded arms, the curv ing shoulders, the swaying, floating fig ure. And perhaps the old woman re called with a sigh, the time when she was young and blithe too, and had aa cheery a voice as that with which the fair swim mer hailed her companions in the dis tance. Gazing absently on tbe smiling scene, a reverie fell upon her, and when she looked again, the young water-nymph bad disappeared. She had probably swam ashore behind the rocks. The widow turned away, bugged her thin shawl over her shoulders, and thought that tbe sea wind was chilly. Hark! What was that? surely she heard a cry. No merry shout or ringing laugh this; it might be tbe cry of a wild bird on its way to its mate. She couldn’t have got beyond her depth, that yonng creature, anrely! Bnt la! what of it if she had? Dying yonng a body gets quit of a deal of trouble. And—yes, surely, that was a scream. The widow looked sharply out. Would Tom never come? The tide was rising, and—something certainly was tbe mat ter. She called, beckoned frantically to tbe bathers beyond—they seemed both blind and deaf. 'No one, not one soul at band, and that yonng thing in peril of life f* A minute she stood still, listening, a feeble old woman with a haggard, scarred face, to whom no one would have dreamed of looking for help. " I can’t stand this,” she said. “ Seems I might pnll ont that old scow myself. Tom,” she screamed, with a yell that held tho concentrated energy of ten years. But no Tom appeared. And it was tho widow herself, with those with ered old hands that disdained the minis ter’s kitchen work—it was the widow her self, who straining, tugging, and with her gray hair fluttering in the wind, un loosed the old dug-out from its moorings, and trembling, unskillful, armed with a rude paddle, went epinning oat dizzily over the rude water. It leaked, the old scow, it scorned the broken paddle and tbe heavy oars, bnt finally it came drift ing ont blindly and dizzily to the object of her search. A plump band, with a glittering ring upon it, clutched the edge of the boat, n< arly upsetting it. A young eager face, with streaming hair, looking up from the water, gasping, shuddering, half drowned, and wholly scared, the young nymph was presently on board the old craft. Ob, how frightened I was 1” she ex claimed. "I felt saro I was losing all my strength, and would go to the bottom. Oh, you good old soul, yon dear soul, how ever did yon get to me in that water loggo4 craft?” “It ha3 seen its beat days, certain,” said tbe widow tugging at the oars. ••You don’t look able for snch work.” "I have seen better days,” was tbe quiet answer. And then—ob, sufficient reward for all her efforts—this real lady, this fair young girl with the soft hands and tho pretty bathing dress, actually replied, "I thought so.” Here, give me an oar,” she added, still panting. "Bnt, my dear soul, we’ll never be able to row down to that point where I left my clothes, and I can’t walk to the hotel; I’m awfal tired. Can’t yon pnt me ashore at your place and send for me down yonder?” Tho little dark cabin on tho shore brightened up with an unwonted lustre as the widow sheltered her young charge and changed her wet garments for some of her own. ‘If my Tom wonld come, I'd send him for yonr things.” 'Oh, no matter, I’il wrap yonr shawl about me and walk down myself after I’ve rested a bit. I’m not hnrt, yon know, only scared. Dear me, bowl was scared. My old nurso used to teach me not to scream; but if I bad not screamed, where would I be now, I wonder?” "They have seen better days—the clothes—Mi3s, and I’ll nob deny they’ve been in good comij in their time, bnt they’re not fit forYlsdy now.” Her companion laughed, a mischiev ous laugh. She read the weakness of her rescuer and treated it tenderly. " Whatever a lady has worn is fit for a lady to wear,” she said, and forthwith wrapped herself, smiling, in the old gray shawl. And, at that moment, Tom, with his red shirt gleaming in the setting snn, and a string offish onhis shoulder, stood iq the doorway. He stopped when he saw the guest standing upon the hearthstone, a bright fire behind her and the kettle boiling cheerily. She nodded to him familiarly. Tom thonght he must be dreaming. "Tom and I are acquainted,” she said. "Are you?” responded the astonished widow. “Yes,” said the girl. ’Tve watched Tom many a time walking along the shore with his red shirt, and once he took me and father ont rowing. Tom, your mother saved my life." "Saved your life !” echoed Tom, who never in all hia life had heard of his moth er’s doing anything before. Tom, stupid and staring, was harried off in search of the missing garments. And meantime his mother betook herself to making a enp of tea for her protege. It was wonderful how a little warmth of human feeling had roused this woman to life and activity again. When Tom returned, laden with varl ous articles of apparel, the two were qnietly sipping their tea together at the old round table. He did not return alone, however. Following him came a tall gray-headed gentleman. “Here’s father!” cried the girl, spring ing forward. "Oh! father, this good lady has saved my life 1” Lady! The widow Minton wanted to kiss the beautiful rosy lips that pro nounced the words. '‘Well, my doar,” said the old gentle man, good hnmoredly pinching the plump cheek, "she has done it very thoroughly. Yon certainly don’t look very near death jnst now.” Whereat the story, with due enlarge ment and variation, was told him with a pretty pout. The father smiled, but also he furtive ly wiped away a tear. "Well, madam,” said he courteously, "accept my cordial thanks for looking after my little madcap Belle. She’s my only child, yon see, and as full of prankB as any dozen.” Belle playfully put her hand over his month. "I won’t have my character tra duced where they have been so good to me,” she cried. "And, oh, father, isn’t this a beautiful place—snch a view of the water! I mean to come down here every dsy and do my sketching.” “I’m afraii,” said the sire, shaking his head, "that this good lady will have cause to wish she had thrown yon overboard.” "Ob, no, father, she likes me and I like her; and Pro fallen in love with Tom long ago, you know.” Tom blushed painfully. Something strangely new stirred in his mind. Com pliments did not sweeten his thoughts as they did his 'mother’s, for Tom had never seen better days, and felt as if he were being made a jest of. . A week passed, daring which the yonng girl strolled almost daily to the cabin. When she was there Tom seldom entered the honse. He had grown shy and sulky; he sat on the shore darkly brooding, or went off silently to his fishing. • One morning Belle and her father de parted. Belle kissed the withered check of her friend, and that was all. For when mention had been made of helping her substantially, the widow bad drawn her self up, all the lady shining in her eye. "I may have seen my best days,” she said, "but I haven’t eome to that yet. And if I seed any reward. I’ve had it now," shs added, as she felt the soft blood naanteling to the cheek that Belle had kissed. Long after the two had left, Tom went abont with a cloud on his face, and in his ear were ringing those mocking words: " I'm m love with Tom.” A disgust for his fishing life and for himself and for all their miserable surroundings of poverty filled the lad’s heart with an unwonted bitterness. " Mother,” ho said one day, as he sat darkly brooding over the heartb, t"you said you were a born lady; why didn’t you make a gentleman of me ?” “I hadn’t any money left when yon came,” said the widow, briefly. " Then it’s money that makes gentle men and ladies ?” * I don’t know,” said the widow, pns- zled; "they somewhat mostly have it.” One day Tom came and told her he was going to sea.. There had been a man down looking for hands, and he had taken Tom gladly, for Tom was a handy fellow at almost any kind of sea craft and wonld soon make a good seaman. "And yon must bide here patiently till I come back, mother; for if there’s better days anywhere I shall bring’em with me, be sore.” After that tbe sea looked blaer and oolder than ever, and the solitary woman lived a sort* of hermit’s life. No cheery voice of gossiping neighbor light ened the dreary cabin, no children prat tled abont her; and only Belle, the bright, kind-hearted lassie, seemed to remember to cheer her with a letter now and then. Belle was away from home, visiting some distant friends, bnt in her kindly heart she kept a corner, it seemed, for the poor old woman who had saved her life. Three years—four—passed away, and daily of a summer afternoon yon might have seen the widow sitting in her door- way, eager and hollow-eyed, looking out for some ship that might be Tom’s. Tom was not a good correspondent, but occa sionally np at tbe little postoffice a wan dering epistle waited her trembling hand. She was growing very old and feeble now; bnt Tom was getting up in the world, Tom was first mate of his ship, Tom was a success, Tom was a gentle man, and oh, above all things, Tom Was coming home 1 Not every one watches in vain, though we may not always be looking in the right direction. As she sat one day, with straining eye gazing on far off sun lit satis, and seeing how some of them hovered nearer and nearer, and come, alas! took wing farther and farther away, the doorway darkened suddenly; there came rnshing upon her, as if dropped from the clouds, a plump, dark-eyed, rosy-cheeked lady, who flung herself into the armB of the watcher with a cry of joy. "Oh, mother,” she exclaimed, half fob bing and half laughing—"oh, mother, don’t you know me ? Why, Pm Tom’s wife, and Tve brought the captain with me.” “Mother,” said Captain Tom that night, "you’ve seen better days, perhaps, but I never bavc.” 'For didn’t I tell you,” said Mrs. Tom. archly, “that I was in love with Tom ? And father owns half his ship, you know; so if Tom’s captain. I’m second mate, yon see. And we are going to take you away to where we found onr better days.” The Georgia Flection.

Columbus cor. ot the New York Tribune] While u Republican victory appears certain in Ohio since a sense of danger infused new life into the party, the oppo nents of the Tilden Democracy in the East must nob imagine that the triumph is going to be so derisive as to relieve them from all burden in the November fight. There has been too much waiting on Ohio and Indiana in New York, Penn sylvania and New England. If_ the Re publicans in those States had briskly en gaged tbe enemy at home a month ago, they would have prevented them from oon- oentrattog their forces in these two States and made tho work much less heavy for Republicans here. True, our folki have received some succor from the Eist, bnt net half as much—scarcely a fonrth as much, probably—as the Democrats have got. Every dollar the Tilden Dem ocrats conld raise East, West and South appears to have baen applied where it would do the most good—in Ohio and Indiana—and all the present able oratora they conld muster have been scat to pip* the field thus abundantly watered with the best fertilizer of modem politics— cash. No, Ohio will not start another tidal wave this year. Oat in InJiaM there wonld appear to be two tidal waves running in opposite directions, and meet- tog with prodigious shock and epiasn and rear. The Republicans will cvC Ohio, but by a majority so. small that it will stimulate their opponents tomnevw exertions to overcome it in November. “ they win in Indiana it will be by a*' closer majority, and tho victory may divided one. Republicans in New rcr • New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connect* cut, may as well get ready to P°" their coats as soon as they h«tr the n from tbe October States, for there « ly to bo four weeks of hard wo:kip r to do before Hayes is elected.
