It ia the Oi<^ South, growing older, every hour, unefer freedom's holy banner. Our readt-ra will remember how in the sunny air of Georgia, a portion of our (>eo|,le were tleaigoated as ^'Bourbons, who forgot nothing and learned nothing new. They s-erealluded ton*enemies to progress, and peace, quiet and liappiucss of the people. One. under the vague description of ibeif oflensea. might suppose Ihev are |*dilical incendiaries, to put whom in power, would retard the progress of prosperity, and inter rupt the public tranquility. And who are these deadly enemies sf Bourboaiam? Are they enemies of states righto? Are they cen tralists who favor high protective the stamp of Stale upon Georgia | and ail the oilier State* of the Smith aud'lhe entire Union. It would be as reasonable to say tbe New North, tlie New East, the New West, a* the New South. This designation ia used, lioastful- ly, as if we were an improved peo ple. a* if we were a better |>eople than wc were,brfore the war; aa if we were a richer people. This would convey the idea that the loss of three hundred thousand southern lives, of three billions ol dollars of pro|>erly, bad chasten ed our principles, improver! iWr public and political morals, and entitled us lo boast over our tem porary misfortunes. Our fallen sons cannot lie restored to life, and we do not hesitate to say that the confiscation of our projierly is. ami ever will be, a stain upon .the justice and honor of the govern ment under which we lived.

He drew plans ami made estimates of nearly everything that waa built or constructed on bis place. He calculated the number or bricks lo be used ia every, part of Iris buildings; and his family now possess elaborately drawn plans of such bits of bonsebold furnish ing as “curtain valences” and tbe like. Many of his ideas in regard to baildiag and furnishing he brought with -him from Fraucfe; but more of them had their origin in bis brain. There were no bed steads in his bouse, but in every chamber there was an alcove in the wall in which a wooden frame work was built which supported the bed. His own sleeping ar rangeinents during the lifetime of his wife were of a very peculiar nature; in the partition between two chambers .was an archway, ami in the archway was the doub le bed; one chamber was Mr. Jel ferson s room, and the other was his wife's dressing room; when be arose in the morning lie got out <>( bed into bis own room, and Mrs. Jefferson got out into her room After his wife's death her room became his study, and the parti tion wall between it and the libra ry being taken down, the whole was thrown into the present large- apartment. Over tbe archway in which the bed is placed is a long closet reached by a step ladder placed in another closet at the foot of the bed. In tills were stored in summer the winter clothes of the family, and in winter their summer habiliments. At the other side of the arch there is a small daor, so that persons going from one room to llic other had no need lo clamber over the bed. In the smaller chamber, when it liecame his Btudy, stood Mr. Jefferson's writing chair, which was made to suit his |ieculiar needs; the chair itself was high backed, well rounded, and cusb ioned. and in front of il extended a cushioned platform, on which Mr. Jefferson found it very pleas ant stretch bis legs, being sometimes troubled with swellings of the smaller veins of these limbs | Tlie writing table was so made ! that it could be drawn up over this platform, legs and all. and pushed down when it was not in use Tbe top of the table turned on a pivot; on one side of it were his writing materials, and on the otiier was lhe> little apparatus by wbieli he made copies of his let ters. By kis side was another re volving table, on which his books of reference lay, or were, held open at proper angles. Near him also stood a pair of large globes; and. if he wished lo study anything onlsule of this world, he bad in the room two long telescopes mounted on liras* tripods. . Con venient also were his violins, one a Cremona and the other a bass voil saved from tbe Shod well fire. Be side the bookshelves and tlie somewhat simple farniture of tbe library, there were a number o ( oddly contrived little closets, in wkivb were stored bis moliiludi nous 'manuscripts. Tbers is a writing table now in possession of tlie family, which was frequently; used by Mr. Jefferson, and which is very ingeniously contrived. Two of its four legs are hollow, and in these ran rods resting upon springy by which the table can be easily elevated, tbe other two legs being also extensible, but ia a different way. When Mr. Jeffer sen was tired of writing in n sit ting position, he could stand up and raise hi* table to the desired height. When he wished to use it as n .reading stand, the top could be inclined at nay angle, and a strip of brand wan brought into use to keep the bonks and papers fro* sliding off.

A ■shy's Strange FMs. A mystery of the sac has been revealed by tbe lading on the bench at Half Moon bay. a few miles south of OolJsa Gate, st San Fraocisco, a large abcioae shell bearing in mother of pearl sjierfeet impression of a baby shoe. The story, though stranger than Action, is verifled by such a mass of evidence that Us troth cannot be doubted, says a corres pondent.- Twenty six years ago s little girt wandered from its home on the shore of Half Moon bay amt was not seen again until four days afterward, when its dead body was cast op by tbe waves which break over tbe adjacent reef. The child was supposed to have falles from a rock. One of its feel was gone, but this waa ascribed to the voracity of a shark or other fish eating sea monster. Tears passed and the event was nearly forgotten. Ri-cently enc of the sons of the old lady and mother of the lost girl picked np on the beach a piece of a large abelone shell, which had been thrown up by the tide. He was astonished to find inside the shell a perfect repre sentation of a child’s shoe, even to the little break in the toe where the leather had worn away. Eve ry detail was reproduced .in bril liant colors, which are character istic of the interior of abelone shells. The young man carried the shell hvmc as s curiosity. The first person to whom he showed it was his mother. No sooner did tlie old lady see it than, she exclaimed: -It’s my baby’s shoe; the shoe of my little girl that was lost twenty six years ago ” The rest of the family rid iculed the idea, but she produced the mate to the shoe. A careful comparison showed that the time incruslcd shoe in the shell and the memento of the dead child, carefully kept by the loving moth er through the years that she mourned her little one, were un doubtedly mates. The mystery of the child's death was revealed at last. Any one who knows the nature and habits of the abelone can readily understand what oc curred. The little one had ven tured out on the rocky reef, had slipped from the rocks, and her fool caught betwaen the rock and the edge of a huge abelone shell. At once it closed on the ankle and ihe little one was a prisoner, to be held until the tide swept over her. ijncli eases are not unknown. A few years ago a Chinese was frequently in San Diego whose right bund, with the exception of the thumb and forefinger, was gone. The story told by his mate was that while hunting abelone he incautiously inserted his fingers under the sharp edge of an abe- lonc shell. Before he coaid withdraw {hem the shell had closed down. He lay on tbe rocks held by the hand till the tide be gan to come in. Seeing his dan ger and realizing that be had only himself to depend upon for aid be managed to get out his knife with his left hand, and by dint of hard work backed off tbe im prisoned fingers and released himself. Tbe abelone is n large bivalve, tbe dried meat at wbiek is exported in large quantities to China.—San francisco Call. “The party in power, responsi ble for sll legislation while in power,” is good Democratic doc trine of a few years back, which fixes tbe responsibility for the failure to reduce federal taxaliaa a year ago.—Philadelphia Press.
