Mint the Carrying of a Bonquet to the •'Wrong House Effected. f .«<• Voter, t* j&ebnng Rrnqiet” in N. Y. Sunday Tribune' ■ It was not long ago that a gen** tleman said to me—be waa in wine— '•Johnny, I will take your best bous quet—that big one on a tray, fit to be the bridal bed of Eve—it you will carry it to this address.” “All right, boss,” was my response, tip I took his f 10 bill, and observed a wither devilish light in his eye, while He wrote a name on a cord. It was VlieSra oftbe fight shone in the dye of Cain as the discriminating flame of heaven shot past his offering and bluzed on Abel’s altar. However, I wasn’t particular about what was goiug on in his mind, and he slipped the card in the bouquet, and I started off to deliver it. Stopping close by to change my note and eat a bit of lunch, a good many people gathered iiear the great prize boupuet, and be gan to talk to and smell it, and so, whether some jealous rival stole the card, or whether I had dropped it on the street, the card was missing when I took up the great salver of flowers again. I hastened Lack to the place where I had met the gentleman. He had gone away in a carriage. I told my trouble to the hotel clcrk,?the genial Gillis, and he said, “Pshaw 1 take it to his wife. He’s no sporting man. Now, that gentleman I knew by. an accidei t ot passing his house, and I had often admired the inflexible, the solitary, the lefty and self-reliant quality in him. He was kind to his inferiors, manly to hh equals, haughty to his superiors. About once or twice a year he showed liquor iu his eyes, as if Cain had brea on Abel’s stock, and the liquor brought out the consanguinity. I said to myself: “These flowers will wither for which I have been paid. I believe he meant to send them to his'wife, and I will take them there.” I rang the door bell of his house and asked for the lsdy. Shown into the parlor I saw my buyer’s picture over the mantel. The house was not expensively furnished, but looked like the abode of perseverance in some moderately compensating profession and slow but gaining conquest on Half fortune. A lady entered the parlor ami beheld the flowers. She turned to me and said: “Who are these for?’’ “For you, madame.’’ “For me?’’ Her f&ce flushed. “Who lias dared to send flowers to me t” I saw I was iu for it somewhere, and there was no safety but in con sistent lying. “Your husband sent them, Mrs. .” I had beard his naan, and felt that this was his wile. “My husband?” Her voice faltered. “How came he to send me flowers ? Have you not made a mistake ?’’ “No, madam. He never bought flowers from me before. He is not a customer of gallantry. There is no mistake about it.’’ She seemed all fluttered, like a wid ow told that her dead husband has returned to life. Looking now at the flowers, again at the portrait, her eyes dilated, her temples flushed. She walked to me like a woman of author- ity aud under some high mental er citement. Looking into my eyes, she said: “What did my husband say ?’’ “He said, madam, I have not made a present to my dear wife for years. Business and care have arisen between us. Take her those flowers, that their blossoms may dispel the winter from our hearts, and make us young again.’’ Shu turned to the boquet aud rain ed her tears upon it. An orange bud site took, all blinded so, and hid in her bosom. She sank upon her knees, aud laid her head among the flowers to let their coolness refresh her parchs ed, neglected heart, and stibbed the joy ot love and confidence again. I stole away like a citizen of the world. As I went up the street and Btoppcd at the same hotel, the husband was there. “Johnny,’’ said he, “did you deliver the bouquet ?” “Yes, I took it to your wife.” ‘‘To my wife?” “Yes, boss, you are too good a man to wander as you wished to. Go home. The ice is broken. Your wife is full of gratitude. Saved by a mistake, embrace the blessed opening made for both ot you, plant those rich blossoms on the grave of your estrangement and in the words of the great good look, ’cling to the wife of thy youth.’ ’’ He staggered a moment, looked as if he ought to knock me down, and rushed from tee place. Next day I met her upon his arm. “Johnny,’’ he said, “bring, her as big a bouquet every week, and save one scarlet rose for me 1” jvirj mfm U* vj'iti Elberton will ltave a -new Baptist church at a cost of $4,000. ’Whe’total value - of export: Savannah lait Monday was 1290,3 36.

The gin-house belonging to Mr. E Craig, of Gwinnett county, together with 18 bales of cotton, 1,000 bun dles of fodder, and 500 bushels of cot ton seed, were destroyed by fire on last Sunday night.

The Masonic fraternity of the city of Savannah, assisted by the lady friends of the Order, propose to give one ot the grandest exhibitions ever held in the State, at Oglethorpe Bar racks in that city, commencing on Monday, April 19tb, tor tbo benefit of Solomon’s Lodge, which is the oldest Masonic Lodge in tlie State, having been instituted by Gen. Oglethorpe, in 1733. In addition to a large variety of articles contributed from all parts of the Union, there will be a magnificent display of fancy work and other things donated by the ladies Vocal and instrumental music, readings, theatri cal, the Bohemian Glass Blowers .and other entertainments will form fea tures of each evening’s exhibition. Special excursibn rates will be giren over all railroads and steamer lines running into Savannah during the Fair, and we feel satisfied that all who attend will be amply repaid lor their trouble and expense. FACT AND CURRENT. Ii the cold wave continues we shall have to change the calendar and con sider all *he months as containing an R. Thus we can have oysters all the year round, aud possibly frozen ones on the 4th of July. Patents of nobility arc sold cheaply in Italy. A saloon keeper in Turin obtained one a few weeks ago for $800. There are 37,000 “knights” in Italy, and the number is increasing rapidly, through pecuniary consider ations paid. A religious cotemporary claims that if people do not acquire a habit ot giving when they are poor, they will not do much when they become rich. Perhaps so; at least many men now poor would be glad to l>e able to test this on themselves. Dr. Hammond’s new word, syzgig» noscism—meaning the power enab ling a person to commit murder when asleep—is no doubt destined to figure largely in the courts in murder trials as a substitute for “transient demen tia,” to get murderers out of the clutches of the law. Some time ago the Baptists of Vine, land, N. J., had a quarrel and split one church into two. The churches went by the name-of the First and the Berean. Now all old differences are healed and the two churches are felicitously rolled into one. This is better than to keep two ministers on starvation Salaries. Thomas Carlyle, has generously remembered Connecticut in his will. To Harvard college he leaves the vol umes aod manuscripts which he used in writing on Cromwell and Frederick the Great. The expressions of friend ship and good will that accompany thCm are, perhaps, tho most precious part of the bequest. Mr. E. Bright has described to the society of Eleotricians, England, a method of diselcctritying dry wool, mohair, and alpaca so as to enable these substances to be spun with fa cility. It consists in putting the bob bins into an exhausted chamber of iion having a metallic connection with the earth. The rarefied sir permeates the yarn and discharges the electricity in from ten to thirty minutes. Things are changing around a bit. The democrats carried every munici pal election in the iron-clad republi can stale of Nebraska Tuesday, while the republicans retaliated by sweep ing the cities of that democratic stronghold, Missouri. Not ouiy did St. Louis shows a republican triumph, but the second city in the state—Kan sas City—as well, electing a toll re publican city ticket for the first time since it was organized. 4 Notice to Carpenters- a let,for cash,tot h« lowest iAtftt r,be- |te court house dyor of Clarke :oujp- ty,’on the feth' day of M*W 18M,' duribK’ we l«t*lih<W».<?f sale, tlte bftddicg.of a, dwelling house at the panpei' farm of said county, the shingles Uhie 'furn shed by the said county, said house to fw 85 by 40 teet square,'12 feet, high between sill arid plate, with a hall 8 feet' wide running from front to rear 3S feet long; 2 twtesssSuMe at fatil rs** mms salt. door^tneieh'room into the hall 3 byTfeet, one rear door to, the bail, three by seven teet, aind front hall door 3 by 7 feet, with side and transom lights, S cTos&t1!Mfl 2% by 6 1*2 feet each; 2 good stack brick chimneys, ouo each aide ot the hall, with two fire places in each, one for each robm.

LITERARY NOTE FROM SCIUB.VER A CO. The policy ot the conductors oi Scribner’s Monthly in having a num ber of short novels to accompany their historical serial of ‘Peter the Great’ has proved a fortunate one. The pubs lication of ‘Peter tire Great’ has ma terially increased the circulation of the magazine, and has resulted in a large sale of back numbers and volumes (there have been one thou sand copies of last year’s volumes sold in Englhnd alone during the past few months), and the printing ol these bright novelettes has appealed to even a wider constituency, and hns heen an excellent balance to the heavier ma terial of the history. Of those'already published, Mrs. Schayer*a ‘Tiger-Lily’ at once established her reputation as a writer of capital short stories, while nothing of Mrs. Burnett’s yet issued has been more widely read anil en joyed than ‘A Fair Barbarian.’ In May begins Mr. Cable’s ;‘Madame Delphine.’ The authqr of‘The Gran* dissimes’ has already scored, so great a success as a writer of short stories and as a novelist that there cad bd but little doubt a* .to the qual ity of ‘Madame Delphioe.’ Every one knows Mr, Howells,.and the an nouncement that he, too, will con tribute a novelette, to begin in the June Scribner, with the taking title of ‘A Fearful Responsibility’ has been received with not a little satis faction by his 'large constituency ol readers. Later there will be printed a short serial by H, H- Boye?etvand another by the author of ‘An Earn est Trlfier,’ whose long 'silence since her first success augurs well 'for the new story. It is expected that these last two will begin m. the ‘Midsum mer’ Scribner. _ , j j'... . ir~r——rrr—•* A Desperate Darkey.
