B bing the fence in the rear, they softly open- K a w bid°w and obtained access to the pantry, *hey demolished a mince pie and a quantity VOL- VI. of doughnuts. Then, with appetites appeased, they removed their boots and prepared to investi gate the “ best room ” —stole along the hall, which was dimly lighted by the moon, ascended the stairs and reached the door. The faint rays of the moon disclosed a chair piled with clothing, and they could distinctly trace the outlines of a form be neath the bed-clothes, and had not the remotest idea but that Sam was enjoying sweet repose upon Hannah’B best bed. A few whispered words were exchanged, and then as softly and lightly as if shod with down they drew near. “ All ready!” whispered George. Quick as thought, they seized upon the form of the sleeper, bed-clothes and all, bore it swiftly down the stairs, out into the snow, and were just about to deposit it in a huge drift, when a shrill scream broke the stillness of the night, and oh ! horror—it was that of a woman ! And in their consternation they dropped their harden plump into the middle of the drift. “ Good heaven !” exclaimed George, “it isn’t Sam, but some woman, as I am a sinner, and she has fainted. Run and call Hannah.” With admirable presence of mind he lifted the limp form of Eva Stanley and carried her into the house. But her cry had already been heard, and the inmates came rushing into the hall just as he appeared. “ George! John! for goodness sake what does this mean, and who have you there asked Mrs. Carpenter in a breath. “ Blessed if I know,” began George ; 44 thought it was Sam, so we concluded to give him a douse in the snow, for getting into the best bed and try ing to euchre us. Quick, I believe she has fainted.” “ Just like you 1” scolded Hannah, as she assist ed in depositing Eva once more upon the bed from which she had been so unceremoniously taken : “ Beginning your tricks upon each other before you fairly get into the house. Clear out, now!” Long before she was done with her tirade her discomfited brothers had betaken themselves down stairs, where they almost went into' hysterics over the joke. « 44 A pretty kettle of fish !” said George, rolling over the floor and letting off peal after peal of laughter. “ I should think it was,” replied John, holding his sides. 44 Oh ! my. But what the dickens is to be done about it, and who do you suppose she is> George ?” 44 Some guest of Hannah’s, of course, and young and pretty at that. I don’t know how it fe with you, but 1 feel particularly small and extremely cheap—would sell myself at a very low price.” “ Cheap ?” roared John : “ Cheap ?” I would actually give myself away this blessed minute, and throw something in to boot. What are we to do, I can’t say ; but I believe I shall dig out of this place and get back to the city before morning. I havn’t got the courage to face the music, so M get up and get.” He began hastily putting on his boots, and wqpld have put his threat into execution, but for the appearance of Hannah, who at once asserted her authority. “ You are not going a single step,” said she ; “ but I don’t wonder you feel ashamed of yourselves.— What on earth possessed you is more than I can tell.” “ That’s right, Han ; pitch in, scold away. I’ll take any amount jurst now, for I am meek as a lamb. But who is it we have played so shabby a trick on ?”' replied George. “ Trick ? I should think it was. Why, it is Eva Stanley, just as nice a young thing as ever lived. She is our school-teacher, and this is her week to board here ; and I knew well enough you boys would be squabbling over that.room as usual, bo I put her in there, little thinking you would come home in this stealthy manner.” “Eva Stanley? Whew! A pretty school teacher !” and repeating his sister’s words, he gave a lugubrious groan. « Has she recovered ?” questioned John, vainly endeavoring to restrain his laughter at the wiy faces his brother was making. “ Yes, I soon brought her to ; but I don’t be lieve the poor girl will ever get over her fright.— She said that the first thing she knew she was be ing lifted up and earned out, and she was so much alarmed that she could'nt utter a sound ; but the moment the cold air struck her, she realized that she was being abducted or something of the kind, and had just time to utter a scream when she fainted. It is too had, I declare, hoys. I shouldn’t wonder if she had taken her death, being dragged out of a warm bed this time of night and dropped into a snow-drift in that fashion. No wonder that she cried, poor thing.” « Cried, did she ?” repeated George, with a groan. “ I should think she did. I just took her in my arms and let her have her cry out, while I explain ed to her how she happened to be mistaken for Sam, and so became the victim of your mad pranks.” “ That was neat of you, Han. I’m awful glad you hugged the poor little thing. Wish you had just given her a brotherly squeeze for me—’pon my honor I do. Oh dear! lam in sackcloth and ashes from this time, henceforward and forever,” replied George, with another dismal groan. “ And how on earth do you expect us to stay and take the consequences?” asked John, begin ning to look serious. lam for taking myself off instanter. I had rather face a masked battery than this pretty teacher, after making such fools of ourselves.” “ I don’t care if you had,”„ answered his sister, indignantly. “ The only way to do is to brave out, both of you, and apologize for your rudeness. She is not a hit stupid, but pleasant and merry, and no doubt you will have a jolly laugh over the affair.” “ B«t Sam ? How thadeuoe are we to get along .If?'.,/ " BAINBRIDGE. GA-, APRIL 6th 1872 with him. You know well enough, Han, we shall never hear the last of it from him; that it will be brought up at all times and in all places.” 44 If you two can keep the secret, I'll find a way to silence Bridget, andjt is a subject Eva will not care to have discussed, and, fortunately, my hus band is away from home. So go to bed and rest contented.” She showed them to the room she had intended them to occupy; and soon the house Was once more hushed in slumber. Meanwhile their brother Sam had reached the depot a few moments too late. He found the train he was to have taken gone, but upon cffifeiiitHlg a time-table, he ascertained that another started two hours later, and so decided to take it. He figured to himself, as he impatiently crowded into an empty seat and was being whirled along at a rapid rate, how snugly his brothers had ensconsoed themselves in the best room, which by right be longed to him, he being the eldest, and consumma ted a plan to get even with them. Sometime after midnight he was deposited at Hollythom, and reaching the sister’s house, he scouted around until he found an entrance into the kitchen, where he deposited his luggage and re moved his boots. Then he quietly stole up the stairs and opened the door of the best room. Sure enough, thought he, 44 my fine chaps, you are in clover!” for there were not to be mistaken signs of the room’s being occupied. Garments were lying upon chairs, and the bed was pressed by slumbering forms. To think of coping with their united strength by dragging them forth, was not practicable ; but there stood the pitcher of water, and he knew that a good dousing with the icy fluid would bring them out quick enough. “If I can’t have my old quarters ” he chuckled, “ you shan’t, that lam determined on. So here goes.” He lifted the pitcher, approached the bed, rais ed it high, and suddenly dashed the entire contents upon the sleeper 1 Such a torrent of screams as he had never be fore heard rang through the house, and before Sam could collect his scattered senses door after door was opened, and Hannah, George and John rushed in clothed in scanty apparel—Hannah with a frightened look in her face and a lamp in her trembling hand, that revealed the entire scene. There, sitting up in bed, with her hair dripping like a mermaid, her night-dress deluged, her face colorless and eyes looking terror, was the young school-mistress, and there was Sam, with the empty pitcher in his hand, the very picture of imbecility, staring about like an idiot at Miss Eva and the havoc he had made. Hannah, George and John instantly comprehen ded the situation, and the latter, at the command of their sister, dragged Sam away, while she as sisted the drenched and terrified girl to dry cloth ing, and then took her to her own room and bed, explaining, for the second time, the mishaps of the night. “ I’ll keep you with me now, my poor child,” she said, though with great difficulty keeping back her laughter. “ Those hoys are nicely come up with, at any rate ; and if it wasn’t for your having been so terribly frightened, and the way my best bed has been used, I wouldn’t- care. They do nothing when they come home but study up some trick to play upon each other; and,” continued she, by way of apology, “ they are so confined in their offices and stores during most of the year, that they let entirely loose when they get out here. But you are safe now.” t Hannah kissed her charge, and went down to see about the boys, who, as soon as they were fair ly shut up in the regions below, began to thorough ly appreciate the joke ; and now that Sam was as deep in the mud as they in the mire, gave no quar ter. “ I’ll be blamed if I know what it all means,” said Sam, looking in confusion at his brothers, who were rolling and kicking in convulsions of laughter. “ Wait,” replied George, “ until Han comes, and see if you don’t find out 1” And he gave vent to another peal. Sam had not smiled, and sat looking at the very picture of discomfort and perplexity, but answered : “ For heaven’s sake hold on, boys;! I’m willing to admit that I am badly sold—gone dog cheap to the highest bidder ; but hold up long enough to tell a fellow what it means.” “ Means ? Os course I will,” continued George, still holding his sides. “It means that you have stolen like a thief into Miss Stanley's bed-cham ber—who is a young lady teacher and 4 boarding aroundthat this is her week here ; and think ing it was your humble servant and Johnny snug in bed, you attempted to drown us out, and made a grand mistake. How do you like it, San ?” «I confess I see the point, but can’t the the joke- It isa most outrageous shame.” At this juncture Hannah came in and began rating them soundly, thereby letting out the whole story. It was Sam’s turn then to laugh. He struggled manfully to retain his gravity, but the whole thing was so supremely ludicrous that he was compelled to join his brothers. Mia« Eva was not visible at the breakfast table the next morning, and Hannah announced she was sick with a severe cold; whereupon George groaned and called out for a handfull of peas to put in Sam’s shoes, while that gentleman looked very contrite, and John declared he wanted to shoot himself. But Hannah had the unruly crew under her thumb for once in her life, and had the satlsfa***™, also, of seeing them behave with some thing of dignity. They appeared not to forget that there was an invalid in the house, and went on tip-toe about ; and Sam, who seemed to take the entire responsibility upon hip shoulders, sent* off FOB THE RIGHT—JUSTICE TO ALL, slyly to New York for choice fruit and flowers, which he induced his sister to convey to the young lady with the most abject apoligies and regrets. In a couple of days Eva was able to come down stairs. She was looking very pale and lovely, and Hushed-diving when presented by Mrs. Carpenter to her three brothers, who behaved quite well con sidering the unpleasantness of their situation. But Sam who had broken the ice bv meansof his presents, was the most at ease, and by virtue of his age and experience, constituted himself the propitiator, and was constantly on hand to offer Miss Eva a thousand nameless attentions; and bo fore the week was nut John declared in confidence t>o Hannah ••that' Sam was done for ; “GontT finder one of his disrael grouts. “Just thlfik of it Han—if it had not been for that pitcher of water, Sam would have been heart-wholee this very minute. The fellow meet lots of girls much prettier than she every day, and with lots of stamps too. They say pity is twin sister to love, and I believe it.” “Sour grapes!” whispered John, puckering at his mouth. Hannah sang Eva’s praises, and secretly com mended Sam’s choice. She recommended mar riage to all of them as being the only sobering process she was acquainted with. It is a piece of advice, however, they do npt appear inclined to follow, notwithstanding Sam’s happy lot with the pretty school-mistress of Hollythom. She often reminds her brothers-in-law of her unceremonious introduction to a snow-drift at the dead of night, and they retaliate by the shower bath given her by; Sam. And she twines her arms about Sam’s neck and with tears in her sweet blue eyes, declares that but for that episode she fears she would never have had a husband. Interesting .Letter from Atlanta, We make the following extracts from a letter recently written to the Savannah Morning News, by its special correspondent at Atlanta. The letter is quite newsy and will be found interesting.—[Ed Sun] Atlanta, March 1872. official' bummers. The United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia is now in ses sion at this place. There is an unusual number of criminal cases on the docket, growing out of alleged violations of -the so called Ku-Idux bill, and illicit distilling.— The grand Jury is said to be busily engaged > not only in finding true bills, but in investi gating tbe conduct of certain officials and their acconplices, for illegal arrest and levy ing blackmail upon innocent and unoffend ing citizens. It is believed that sufficient evidence has already been obtained and will be submitted to the jury, to show that the parties referred to have been guilty of the most infamous and tyrrannical conduct to wards people whom they know to be inno cent, and that large sums have been extort ed from honest and peaceable citizens, who had been guilty pf no offense whatever. VOLUNTEER COMPANIES. As was stated in a former letter, there is a general dirpositson on the part of the volunteer companies in the State to reor ganize their several commands. In conse quence pf this desire, application was made by Gov. Smith at Washington for informa tion as to the action of Congress, and the probabilities of procuring arms, &c. It appears by a letter received from General Young, member of Congress from this dis trict, that the amount of money now to the credit of Georgia ns $21,478,45, and that the Governor can take up this amount in any kind of arms and ordinance stores he may desire. The arms and stores will be delivered at Government expenses at any point tbe Governor may designate. The price of the several kinds of aims varies from $9 30 $24 72 per gun, It will require some time to procure the arms and stores, and to distribute them among the several companies. A LETTER FROM GOVERNOR JENKINS, It is rumored that a very important and interesting communication has been ad dressed to Governor Smith by that sterling old patriot, ex-Govemor Jenkins, in which the latter gives a full account of the last days of his administration. He recounts the efforts he made before the Supreme Court of the United States to test the con stitutionality of the reconstruction acts, and to have simple justice meted out to his people. The attempts made by Generals Pope and Mead, and by the military Gov ernor, General Huger, who forced him out of office, to humiliate the people through their Chief Magisrate, and to compel him to comply with their demands for the money of the State axe set forth in detail. A DISCOVERT. A discovery has lately been made, which serves to illustrate the magnificent scale up on which the Radical party of Georgia ap propriated the money of the people. Names need not be mentioned now, but it is suffi cient to say, that a single nartyr|MMjd for his share in a redthousand%ollapMMHHH[M^ WEMPET AsS^HHSI A. shooting and cutting affair occurred to-day between two g Blacfcer,. 3*■ * - * • - of this place, engaged in the revenue rervice’ and J.

The difficulty grew out of a case of illicit dis tilling now before the United States Dis trict Court, in which, it is said, the former was aiding the prosecution and, the 'latter was representing defendant as counsel— Wimpey was shot in the back, and Blacker was cut in the breasL—neither mortally in jured.

In some respects the information received here from W ashington is quite encouraging* higblyOTobable that General Grant, if nominated, can be dcie&teaif ail the elements of opposition to him enn be brought to act together. We hear that Senator Schurz will have a large German following from the Radical ranks, and that there will be a heavy defection from the party among its native members, provided the platform and candidates presented at Cincinnati are satisfactory to the malcon tents. - i A TIT BIT. But turning from political topics let me regale your readers with the following tit bit of a letter from Judge Wm. L. Avery, of New York. He was the agent, I believe, if not the Attorney, of the Northern stock holders in the Brunswick and Albany Rail road, and was invariably introduced as “Judge New York.” He was a bland fellow. See how sweetly and anxious ly he wrote to the “Hon.” Foster Blodgett; AVERY TO BLODGETT. Office of J. Edwin Conant & Cos., Railroad Contractors, 33 Wall street, New York, July 14th, 1870. My Dear. Friend: I am exceeding anxious about matters How are they going ? What can be done ? Use more soap, if neccessay, and if it will work. Pray let me hear from you. Like St. Paul of yours in bonds, Wm. L. Avery. Hon. Foster Blodgett. THE SOAPING BUSINESS. Messrs. J. Edwin Conant & Cos. were, I believe, large stockholders in the Bruns wick and Albany Railroad Company. I wonder if they approve of the soaping bus iness? It is evident that “Judge Avery” was not averse to the use of money in the procurement of his ends. Whether this money, or soap,” was to be used with mem bers of the Legislature, or the public press, or Judges, we are left to conjecture only. THE BONP OPERATIONS OF HENRY CLEWS. The prospects now is that Clews’ bond and railway operations in Georgia will bend, if they do not break him. His firm cannot avoid their liabilities to the bondholders. If they fail to bind the State, as they will fail, then they must themselves make good all the bonds they have passed to others. This will require some millions of money. How. much, the Bond Committee will be able to tell us after a little. THE VALIDITY OF LEGISLATIVE ACTS. There is another serious trouble behind. There are two -eases now before the Su preme Court, involving the validity and constitutionality of the acts of the Legisla ture, passed in 1870 after the expiration of the forty days, the constitutional term of the session, unless extended by a vote of two-thirds of each branch thereof. It will be remembered that the session covered a large part of the year, and it is contended that the session was not prolonged in the manner pointed* out by tbe Constitution. If the Supreme Court should so hold, then the additional aid voted the Brunswick and Albany and other railroads, as well as much special and partisan legislation, will go by the board without further trouble. Many grave legal questions will arise under snch a decision. OGEECHEE. A Railroad Story. “Gris” writes to the Cincinnatti.fames : Let me relate an incident of travel that occurred when I was a frisky young man, with a fondness for young ladies’ society:— Understand me, I have no distaste for young ladies’ society now but they don’t seem to banker so much for mine as they did, say twenty years ago.—This is natural enough. I don’t blame them —but they don’t know what they are missing A friend and myself got on board an ex press train one afternoon to make a short trip. The car we entered was full Only one vacant seat in fact, and that was along side of a very charming young lady.— Friend and I each made a dash for that very desirable vacant seat It isn’t a fair thing to do as a general thing, to trip a friend, but is allowable under the circum stances, and I gave him just the slightest trip in the world, just enough to get the start of him to obtain the coveted seat. — My friend took a Seat on the wood box, and looked to his discomfitture by certain tri umphant winks, nods, and motions in which I indulged. 4 The young lady was at tractive, and some causual remarks dropped on one side or the other —young folks will drop remarks occasionally, and are more ready to pick it up again than old ones—af forded an opportunity to easily and pleasantly into conversation. . She was witty and sprightly, an£ Igrew unusually brfflianti that is, recollection m thisj©mewSt iwßQfc? My friend, observing- this, than ever.

The young lady gave mo one look of supreme disgust—a tramping jowr. Shoemaker I—then directed her gate out 61 tire wimiuw, ana kept it there for th© remainder of the journey. My friend remounted the wood-box, and indulged in a series of fiendish grins and malignant chuckles as would have justified me in hurling him from the car, only I was too stupified by the proceeding to proceed against him. When I loft the car the young lady looked to see if I hadn’t forgot riiy “kit,” and I am satisfied she thought I had got off “kick for a job,” os they say in shoe maker parlance. The State Koad Lease. ’ We find the following sensible paragraph in the Atlanta correspondence of the Macon Telegraph. We nevertheless believe that the politicians will make a desperate effort to have the lease set aside; and to put the Road back under the control of the Gov ernor. The patronage of the Road gives the Governor great strength towards con tinuing in office, and therefore the best of them will take advantage of its patronage to keep themselves in place. Many persons who are seeking places are already canvass ing the matter; but -we will ever believe that the interests of the entire ; people of the State will be subserved best by letting the Road remain as it is. THE RAILROAD LEASE. Public opinion is gradually settling down upon the conviction that this agreement will not be disturbed. Fatty Harris, it seems, is the only witness who has aver red that Bullock had any interest in the matter, and he has been caught already in half a' dozen glaring falshood, so that'his evidence is not worth a rush. His role is very transparent. He wishess to epact the part of the State’s evidence in the prem ises, and thus escape the punishment of fils own crimes. But unfortunately Fatty would not be. believed upon his oath, and we hope yet to see his aldermanic proportions redu ced by the bread and water and hard work of the State’s prison.. We understand the lesses not only court investigation, but de clare that they are willing to surrender' their lease, if convinced that the people re ally desire it. With the railroad move ments in progress, threatening to cut off or greatly reduce the revenues of the State Road, we should not be surprised if sound policy would make them desire to relinquish their engagements. For ourself, if the affair was fairly arranged, and we have no evidence to the contrary, we consider the present lease highly advantageous to the State, and hope the legislature will let well enough alone. [EDITORIAL Left over from Last Week.]- ) Dead. J. J. Kiddoo, Esq., of Cuthbert, died his residence in that city on Sunday night last. The Maooa Telegraph says of the de ceased: _ . On many a hard fought battle-field his bravery was tested, but never did he falter when duty call ed. He was possessed of a orilliant intellect, and his store of learning, both legal and literary, was truly great. In conversation he was exceedingly fascinating, and as a polished writer and eloquent speaker, he had not many equals. Let the mantle of charity cover the faults and frailties of his na ture while we seek to emulate his nobler and bets ter qualities. - • i— i ■ Lady Visitors.
