[For The Sunny South.] ORIGIN OP THE CAPE JESSAMINE. A Legend of Florida. BY MBS. M. E. BREW. An Indian maiden, in the long ago. Sat where the sparkling waters flow In Florida, fairest of lands to know. Though dusk of hue, no lovelier maid Ever waited beneath the shade Of oak and orange in forest glade. Her cheek with rosiest bloom was bright— Her soft, dark eye, like a starlit night. Beamed with tender and pensive light. Oeeked with shells of radiant kind. Her long, black tresses, unconfined And waving, played with the summer wind. Something there was in her haughty face, Her half-clad limbs' unoonscious grace, That showed her one of a royal race. A whistle breaks on the silent air: Winona smiles in her flowery lair— For ’tiB her lover, her Spaniard fair. She welcomes him with a kiss as chaste As ever pale-faced maiden placed On the bearded lips her love hath graced. He gives but a slight caress again; Winona feels, with a cruel pain, That her love and constancy are vain. “ Winona, farewell! My bark awaits; I hear the call of my wondering mates, And I must away ere the tide abates.” "Oh, leave me not here, whate’er betide! Hast thou not called me thy love, thy bride? My home is with thee t” Winona cried. “Winona, thy home is not in my bark; Thy heart is pure, but thy skin is dark. And thyself untamed as a morning lark. “ Our love was a dream,—the dream is o'er! Farewell to Florida’s Eden shore, And to thee, Winona, forevermore!” He is gone. She shrieks an anguished prayer: “ Great Spirit, bend down thy pitying ear! He loves me not, for I am not fair! No more my breaking heart will bear. “ But when we meet beyond the light. Give me, Great Spirit, a form as white As the lily’s own. My love, good-night!” She spoke no more, but fell to earth; And there the pitying soil gave birth To a snow-white flower of rarest worth. the “heated term.” These excursions have been made once or twice, sometimes thrice a week. Poor, thin-faced, emaciated little sufferers have been gathered in from noissome alleys, un wholesome, filthy tenements, and endowed with new life and hope through the blessed influence of a whole long, glorious day out on the bay. Their weak, dust-choked lungs and sunless little hearts were filled with fresh air and happiness. Many of these trips have been paid for by- private companies and firms—Singer’s Sewing Machine Company, H. B. Claflin’s employees, and others; and this is no small charity, as the expense is from thirty-eight to forty cents for each child or attendant, and they usually carry from eight hundred to one thousand. The little ones are provided with sandwiches, ice-cream, lemonade and other substantial and delicacies, and their minds are entertained with music, games and shows. The poor little half-starved, puny children will never forget the delights of i this memorable summer, and will huddle in At Booth's, Belmore, the famous English actor, has made a very fair impression in his persona tion of Nat Gosling, in Boucicault’s “Flying Scud.” The Flying Scud is a horse, and a live horse is introduced, and acts his part for the few seconds he is on the stage quite creditably. We are to have many charming entertainments in the musical line. Sweet Clara Louise Kellogg will present twelve English operas, and has in her company many distinguished names,—Mrs. Zelda Seguin, Mr. William Castle, Mr. Henry Peakes, and many others. These operas will be performed at Booth’s. Madame Titiens has arrived, and will appear in concert at Steinway’s on the fourth of Octo- [For The Sunnv South.] LETTER FROM LOUISVILLE.

GARLAND. We here present an engraving of the popular Governor of Arkansas, Augustus H. Garland. Perhaps no man in that gallant little State has ever so completely won the respect and affections of that people. Going into power right upon the retiring heels of the fanatics, who had plun dered and oppressed the State, his advent was like the appearance of an angel amid the dark ness. He established law and order; the people went to work in security, and now prosperity is to be seen on all hands, and cheerfulness and good-will reign in the habitations of the Arkan- sians. He was born near Covington, Tennessee, June 11, 1832. and the following year his parents re moved to Arkansas, and settled in Hempstead county. He graduated at St. Joseph’s College, Kentucky, in 1849, and began the practice of law. In 1856, he settled at Little Rock, where he has since resided. He was a delegate to the Secession Convention, and opposed the move ment with much ability; but after the State had seceded, he went with the majority, and did his whole duty to the end of the war. He was twice elected to the Confederate Congress, and filled an unexpired term of Hon. C. B. Mitchell in the Senate. In 1866 he was elected to the United States Senate, but was denied his seat. In the spring of 1874 he sided with Baxter in the Brooks and Baxter difficulty, and became acting Secre tary of State. He was afterwards put in nomina tion for Governor, and elected by an unusually large majority, and the 25th of March last was observed throughout the South as a day of thanks giving, at his request, for the action of Congress in sustaining Judge Poland’s report on the con dition of affairs which prevented the President from interfering with the affairs of the State by military force. Under his administration, Arkansas has been redeemed, and is growing in wealth and power. [For The Sunny South.] LETTER FROM NEW YORK. Return of Citizens Home—Where Hie Young Men Went During the Season—Miniature Yachting —The Floating Hospital—'Wil liam Black—Bret Harte—Theatres—Fash ions., etc. I begin to realize now what was meant by the city being deserted during the summer. To people accustomed to small cities and country towns, the streets seemed thronged here even in midsummer, but within the past three or four weeks the crowds have been doubled. The cold snap, coming quite earl}’ in the month, hurried the wanderers home, and they came in troops from mountain and sea-side. Some look fresh and invigorated, others weary and jaded, and it is easy to distinguish the sensible ones who have made a holiday and health-giving recreation of their summer, from those who have made it sim ply a continuation of the winter’s dissipations— heated ball-rooms, French cookery (or what is so-called) and a half dozen changes of costume a day. The dearth of beaux at the fashionable resorts is accounted for now in the ruddy, sun burned faces of the young men who were wise enough to turn their backs on the alluring de lights of Saratoga and Long Branch, and betake themselves with tents, fishing-rods and guns to Canada or the rich hunting-grounds of the great North woods. And I am sure Flora and Fanny can forgive poor hard-working Frank and Ned for “stealing away from all the follies and fash ionable worries of the season,” and being “at rest” in the grand old forests, and beside the sparkling trout-streams of the mountains. Fifth Avenue has opened its eyes (i. e. its win dows), and in the place of dreary shades and closed blinds, we now see sweet, bright, girlish faces, and from houses so long deserted comes the cheerful sound of gay conversation and chil dren’s voices. Among the prominent summer amusements, has been (for these sports are now nearly over) the miniature yachting at Central and Prospect parks. These little yachts range from twenty- five to sixty inches in length, and are made on all the most approved and scientific principles. The sails are set, the rudder adjusted, and away they go over the lake, manned by rough-looking “tars” two or three inches high (inwood), who seem to be bending all their energies to the win ning of the race. If you are not among that wretched class—“boy-haters —it would be a rare pleasure to you to watch the excited crowd of boys hurrying along the borders of the lake, each one confident of success, sure of the pos session of the prize. The Floating Hospital of St. John's Guild i has proved a noble and beautilul charity all J through the sultry days of what they call here one hundred arrivals per day for the last fort- w jjj be gin the night, a fact almost unprecedented. Louisville enterprise is determined to equal Eastern in ducements, and her merchants and manufactur ers offer facilities to consumers which will soon break up the Northern monopoly. This great influx of strangers is somewhat due to corners next winter and keep themselves warm in recounting to each other “the jolly day we had at Rockaway Beach, or up the Hudson.” Up to this time there has been about twenty-two trips, which have carried eighteen hundred or two thousand children. Similar charities have been doing their good work in Boston and Phil adelphia, and the good example will doubtless be followed by other cities another season. Wm. Black, whose “Princess of Thule” has given him so wide and high a reputation among American readers, has published two new works within the past two months: “The Three Feathers” and “ The Marriage of Moira Fergus,” i the latter being only a short story or novelette. ! It is very tenderly and touchingly told, but without any very distinctive traces of Mr. 1 Black’s peculiar charm and power. It is merely : a history of the heart-breaking misunderstand ings of two simple country people (dwellers on the wild north coast of Scotland), and of their i final peace-making and reunion. “The Three Feathers” (so called because the scene is laid in Wales and three feathers constitute the crest of the Prince of Wales) is a remarkably fresh, sweet | history of the lives and loves of two or three lov able women, and as many well-drawn men. The very remarkable vividness of Mr. Black’s style is shown in the absolute naturalness of his men and women. You do not remember them as chance acquaintances in the unreal regions of fiction, but real men and women whom you have . loved or hated, laughed at and wept over with all the intense personal interest felt in old com panions and acquaintances. I should like any one to convince me that I did not know dashing, high-spirited Harry Trelyon, of “The Three Feathers,” bright, saucy Mabyn, and gentle Wenna ltosewarne, of the same book, and brave, beautiful Sheila Mackenzie, the royal “Princess, of Thule.” The last-named character has be come so vivid and real, is remembered as such a fearless, handsome creature, that Queen Victo ria has ordered her picture painted just as if she were—as she seems to be—a living, sentient, beautiful woman. Bret Harte is writing a novel for Scribner’s, the first number of which will appear in the Novem ber number of that magazine. He has just fin ished a play, which is pronounced by actors and theatrical critics to be of unusual merit and in terest. It is easy to see how the creator of “Mig- gles” and “Luke” could write a play of absorb ing, intense human interest. And while I am on the subject, I must not forget to mention Mr. Ringgold McCay (formerly of Covington and Sa vannah), who is making rapid and very flatter ing progress in the field of dramatic authorship. He is about completing a play which is sure to be a marked success, and will probably be acted by a very promising and accomplished young actress. But for the present the title even (which is attractive and taking) must be kept secret. More on this subject later. At the Park, Mr. and Mrs. Florence have been attracting large and delighted audiences, the play being “Mighty Dollar.” There was an ef fort at first to ridicule this play and pronounce it a failure, but it holds its own against the crit ics, and the crowded houses attest that it is a play of no light merit. “Our Boys,” at the Fifth Avenue, has been the chief theatrical sensation, and presents many of the old Fifth Avenue favorites in its cast. John T. Raymond has been playing “Colonel Sellers ” at the Union Square for four weeks. He is to be followed by “Led Astray,” by Feu- illet and Boucicault, in which the charming and popular actresses. Rose Evtinge, Kate Claxton, Fannie Morant, and others, will appear. Gilmore’s Garden, despite the autumnal chill iness in the air, continues to be crowded, and the manager spares no pains to introduce new attractions. Levy and Arbuckle are there still, and recently Mrs. Carrie Brooks Gulager, so prano of St. Thomas’ Church, and Mrs. Imogene Brown, also well known as a church singer, have sung there; and Miss Sophia Flora Heil- bron, the distinguished young pianiste, has played there occasionally. At the Lyceum (French theatre), there has been a successful season of French opera. “Mad ame L’Archiduc” has been replaced by “La Feille de Madame Angot” THE FALL RACES, which opened on Monday and will close to-day; though the excitement is so intense that doubt less another will be arranged for next week. Thursday was the grand day. The sun shone brilliantly; the air was warm and irresistibly lovely, coaxing to the grounds of the jockey club thousands who did not expect to go. The course was skirted by woodland, robed in the tints worn by nature before she puts on her sombre winter garb; the amphitheatre was filled with the fair est of women and the handsomest of men, while before them pranced, impatient for the tap of the drum, horses whose graceful limbs and game heads betokened fleet flyers; the chatter of voices and the strains of music lent additional inspira tion to the scene, while the tones of the pool- seller were heard between, until the immense crowd were overwrought with excitement. The ante helium days seem to have come again, and old turfmen recall many a triumph won by Lex ington, Eclipse and Gray Eagle. Large sums of money have changed hands; many are winners; more, losers; ladies are among both. The most exciting race of the week was that for the post stake of $800, for all ages, a dash ot three miles. Five horses were entered. Great surprise was shown when, amid loud cheering and waving of handkerchiefs, Ten Broeck (raised by Uncle John Harper) left his rivals and passed under the string first. The time, 5:31, is claimed to be the fastest on record for a three-year-old colt. To-night five of the racers of the week, Ten Broeck, Bob Woolly, Katie Pearce, Egypt and King Alfonso, will be exhibited at THE EXPOSITION, which from the hour of its opening, has been the resort of home folks and visitors. Science and art have combined to fill the vast building with a lavish display of all that is useful, desirable, or that can delight the eye or charm the ear. The practical machinist is interested for hours in the mechanical department; the housekeeper spends the day as if in “My Idea of Convenient Housekeeping,” roaming through cook rooms with appliances that would make the culinary art seductive; through dining room, parlors and ! chambers that rival her dreams of comfort and i luxury.

Miss Milton, a favorite in society, will be married to Mr. Karl Jungbluth, of Arolsen, Germany. All the orders of this wedding have been given with a view to elegance. The Mil- ton family being distinguished for great culture, even the invitations, gotten up in Madden’s in imitable style, on cream-colored “perfection,” are recherche. The marriage ceremony will be performed at Christ’s Church in the evening, with the accompaniment of white silk, lace and flowers. Most of our people have returned, and the gay season will soon be fully begun. Miss Mattie F. is still in Chicago. Lovely in charac ter, she is a living denial of the belief that a belle cannot be acquainted with household du ties or possess domestic talent. On dit that she shall soon preside over her own house, and we shall lose her. Her cousin, Miss Mattie Belle S., though still young, inherits her mother’s far- famed beauty, and will, perhaps, break as many hearts. Perhaps the most talked-of event the coming season will be the marriage of Miss Alice Brannin, the national belle. Even beyond the seas her name is but another for beauty, for when abroad the homage of titled Europeans has been paid her, and she might have worn a title, but will bestow her loveship on a million aire of a neighboring city. Now a little tit-bit by way of dessert. GREAT PREPARATIONS were said to have been begun for the marriage of a well-known beau and belle, but as the day approached, reports came across the ocean that the lover, while making the grand tour, had be come involved in such a way as to prevent any subsequent marriage. A rumor says that the foreign lady was considered by the laws of her land too high in the social scale to marry a gen tleman beneath her rank, but in our country of equal birth, it prevents a union with another. Another says she was but a beautiful peasant, and is ignored by our American notions of birth. Yet, the erring lover of so many damsels is still held by the law a married man. Yet again they say there has been no marriage, only a very deep attachment, which the bride and family have heard of recently, and object to. You shall have the denouement. Huldah Hill. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 30, 1875. POLITICS -STATE AND NATIONAL. BY A LIVE POLITICIAN. It will be remembered that upon the eve of the Hon. Carl Schurz’s stert for Europe, his ad mirers in New York city gave him a dinner at which much wine was drunk, much love for Sen ator Schurz manifested; many speeches were made, and, among the rest, Senator Schurz, himself, delivered a manifesto in which he de clared his independence of party men, party lines and party alliances, and denounced both the Republican and Democratic parties. The next thing we see of Senator Schurz after his arrival from Europe is, that he leaves his State, Missouri, and comes over to Ohio, and takes the stump for the straight Republican can didate for Governor against Governor Allen. Verily, a politician doth much wriggling. There is one want the nation feels, and that is, a sound, honest, able journal at the National capital, after the fashion of the old Intelligencer, when Gales & Seaton conducted it. There is no more pressing need than a little honest, flat- footed journalism. A newspaper that has no higher purpose than *to praise politicians and champion ring-masters is of little account. The people are more inter ested in the exposition of great principles than in the whereabouts or the personal peculiarities of the Hon. T.

Some time ago the Southern newspapers raised a big howl because the Winnebago idiots would not have Mr. Jefferson Davis as their orator. Now a part of these same silly newspapers pitch in and show up the record of Dr. Worrall because he had some connection with the Warmouth Legislature of Louisiana. Now, as a matter of truth and decency, Mr. Worrall’s past conduct has about as much to do with direct trade as Mr. Davis’ Confederate war record with the matters to be discussed at the Winnebago Fair. Why the fool-killer don’t come along, is be cause he is not in want of business. Direct trade has made New York, has helped Baltimore and pushed up Philadelphia. Why it would not be a help to our Southern ports and Southern people, is something we are not able to see. We say, Mr. Worrall, go on with your di rect trade movement. If you can inaugurate it, all well. It we are not mistaken, it is a good thing—that is, it will grow to be. The world was not made in a day. We will put up with your Warmouth record if you start this thing right. The year 1876 will be the warmest political one Georgia ever had. The election of Presi dent, members of Congress, Governor, members of the State Senate and House of Representatives, and every county officer from the Ordinary down.
