A WONDERFUL pj^OOVERY ‘•Such a wedding! No bridesmaid^ no music, no breakfast or reception!. I declare I should not feel as if I had been married!” exclaimed Marlon Wiltotighhy, tlirowing kcimU down u|kiii a low faufcuil in her own ele gantly appointed drawing room, drawing oft the delicately tinted gloves which nerved an a finish to the ex quisite Parisian toilet.' There was only one other occupant of the room, i! limn tall and handsome, standing with one hand 1 nestling ba ( the book of her hair. . She did not look up aa! she spoke, dy^libte that, { ‘You are . speaking, .flit ‘ JrtH-.MwV, vine's wedding?” he said, “TheT* Is one essential to most marriages yon have not enumerated la your list, of things lacking. Was love waiting, too?” ,o “Oh, no. I believed she loved him. She certainly mast do so to an almost to "I absurd extent. They are to go to house keeping In a small flat In an unflasb- ionable locality uptown where he must be away from early morning un til quite » o’clock. Me occupies some salaried position—clerk In a bank, I believe—and she a girl who might have married anybody." > “Honest labor degrades no man, Marion.” came the firm, quick an swer. “Even a clerkship is not al ways to lie found, and I would rather break stones in the streets than live noney acquired dishonestly, or doled out of charity, though in such a ease 1 would ask no woman to share my lot.” “Tills looks like breaking stones, does it not?” site laughingly answerd, letting her own jeweled fingers close over the man's hands where it rested —a Imnd whose shape betokened Us aristocracy, and which was soft and white as a woman's. At Iter light touch his strong frame quivered. Ho bent and let his lips rest an instant caressingly on her hair, for the girl liesule him was his afllunced wife. "It could break stones, though,dear, and I don’t know but that it’d niuke me a better man. Suppose 1 lost my money, Marion? Suppose it were all swept away from me In an hour, and I bad a position ottered me—a posi tion which enabled me to live very humbly, very much us your friend is going to live—toll me what you would do?” “You are only talking to try me, Chester, and I hate such questions. In tlie first place it is entirely out of reason ; for even were it so, papa, you know,is very rich,and ourhomecou.U always he with him.” “I have said to you, Marion, that would rather starve than to eat the bread of charity. Therefore, putting tins possibility aside, tell me what you would do.” Her lingers relaxed their graspupon ids hand. Was there significance in the action? He smiled bitterly as he saw it. Except that he still stood be hind the chair she must have noticed it. “You arc utterly absurd this after noon, Chester." she said bitterly. “Have 1 not just told you that Edith Marvine’s wedding was more like a funeral than a wedding, and though I 1 iresu me I shall one day have to attend to tuy own funeral, it will not, I assure you, be us a voluntary agent. Have you nothing mure agreeable you can say to me? The man shook otl" •& certain some thing which seemed to envelope him in nn almost visible fcloufl.and He an swered with the old, courteous grace which suited hint so well, and made his power with women almost a prov erb. Money always seemed to belong to him by an inliereut right. It was so natural for him to be rich. No one could have imagined Chester Thorley poor. He knew so well how to txpend his weal'h. He gnveit so generously, yet without ostentation, that no man envied him. Yet he knew half nn hour later, when lie left his farewell kiss on Mari- on Wlloughby’s beautiful lips,that it was farewell to all his hopes and hap piness. The blow had already fallen. He was a ruined man with scarcely a dol lar that lie could call his own—he who had no wish uugratitied money might procure in all his thirty years of life. It hud fallen through no fault of his own, though there was feeblo comfort in that. There was comfort, however, in the knowledge that he owed no. man, and,that he might start afresh witli no burden on his broad shoul ders or his conscience. | True there was a deep wound in bis heart. He had loved Marlon bo well that to give her up was to voluntarily renounce God’s sunlight. But all her life had been spent amid luxury. It was to her a necessity. Deprived of it she would fade and droop; and better any lot than to watch her struggle, and know that he had brought It upon her. Besides, she had made her choice. To her a wedding meant flowers, mu sic, friends, and the toilet of the bride. Tlie future, the communion of two hearts, the solemn responsibilities in curred, were but secondary considera. tions. "Good-bye, my darling!” he said, as they parted, but when she added, “Until to-morrow,” he answered nel ther yea nor uuy. "To-morrow” the world knew that Chester Tliorley’s ship had gone upon the rocks. Mtuiyofhls buslm elates would have held out to him a helping Imnd, but firmly and klndl; he refused every ofTer. lie wrote Marlon a few lines, recall ing to her mind tlie conversation of the day before, and released her from, her vows to him. “If any good for tune comes to me,” he concluded, “you nfobe-eti trained a crowded: woS&feltfU hasty glande Eraei Bhe M though expecting to flnd soi theiiL^"^ T She. was as yet but. twenty-t hell ‘ ‘ iwlnl 8 and a beauty still, lier of his absence she went'we The % —w#nt , eraJLweeks'wlth an au “ I cannot spkee you, her father had said'HfM4^heInvitagon.C|unf■ ’ ’ S A But she, going close to him, and layUpg her head a moment on hlwj •east, and said: '»«.»*>' j (] “IMak, papa, it f.ojjld be^bes^.” TheySvere simple words but He in terpreted them aright.

Blie had heard something of some early disappointment in Marlon’s life.

Tiiey seemed, indeed, like drones, in truding upon some busy hive of work ers, as tiiey entered the great building and looked about them.

Tiiey sell to the largest newspa pers and job offices in Georgia and adja cent states, besides supplying the whole sale trade of several cities. This mill was established in 1852 by Chase & Linton, and during the war it paid a divident ol 40 per cent., but of late years, until Mr. Griffeth took charge of the works, they were not profitable; but now under his' able management the Pioneer has again come to the iront and is fast be coming a valuable jfcce of property. Besides the mill, tWcompany runs a farm and a prosperous store. The stock of the mill amounts to $110,000, but it will soon be largely increased and new machinery added for llie manufacture of other articles. The dam is built of stone, laid in cemeut, and cost $8,000. It is fifteen feet thick and tlie best structure of the kind we have ever seen.

'Hie case of Joe Thur- mdnd, found guilty of horse stealipg, was being argued in Judge Jackson’s office, on a writofftoiew Corptu. Be- aidea the sheriff and hie deputy there yen perhaps * dozen persons to the room, while Thurmond’s father was in the clerk's office. The prisoner was Unbound, and occupied a seat near ths 1 western window, that was lfaised about two and a half feet. From what can learn there was evidently a ^lan concerted fbr Thurmond to make a break for liberty on that day,' for as ^e entered the court-house he asked his counsel, “What is tBt penitentia ry, anyway?” The reply was, “Sim ply a livtog death.” After this the livlsoner seemed restless, and/hepl glancing his eye through the window, until his brother rode up to the fence, bringing with him the famous racer “Stampa.” About this time eft*rifi sheet counted by a la d y who worlu with | w«ir was being sworn, his-baek to ihe prisoner^ while deputy Browntog was A Tramp T<Lcj£)b fcoL Jim'.

In an instant he had r ached his horse, when Browning <seizedthe reins of the bridle.'aim Thurmond, brother of the prisoner, caught Browning’s arm and pushed him away. The latter then drew his pistol'and pointing it directly at Joe told him that if he did not surrender he would kill him. “Shoot and be d—d,” was the retort, as Thurmond leaped into his saddle, followed bytiis brother on another horse. Browning fired, and there is little doubt but this ball took efiect. A parting shot, as the pair galloped off, is thought to have struck the horse. In toe. mean time sheriff Weir had come up aud also turned hit pistol loose upon the escaping prisoner. Mr. Browning in stantly caught his steed and pursued the pair for several miles iuto tlie country, but as the Thurmonds were mounted on swift race horses he failed to overtake them, although he came in sight of toe pair at one time.

His language was plain and undisguised. But, alas! A few days after these gallant words, Mr. Stephens throws the following damper upon his former declaration. Mr. Speer says: “I called on Mr. Stephens at his room Sunday morning, the 14th Inst. I had learned that morning that a committee of independent democrats was to meet in Atlanta next day. I at once told Mr. Stephens that I would telegraph them to recommend him as the people’s candidate for governor. His secretary furnished me some tele graph blanks and I wrote the telegram in his room, read it to him, and at his suggestion altered iu two particulars. I have the original draft. The tele gram recited: ‘I know positively he will not reject such recommendation, and that, if elected, he will be the gov ernor of all the people without regard to party.” The telegram was true— every word of it.” [Mr. Stephens adds the following:] “Tho’ above is substantially true. What Mr. Speer telegraphed Dr. Fel ton was strictly true, though not by authority from me. There it no issue between me and Mr. Speer. “Alexander H. Stephens.” i How , can we reconcile these two statements ? They are as much at is sue with one another as it is possible for words to be formed. Mr. Ste phens either openly acknowledges his first language to tliecorrespondent of the Constitution was untrue, or that he is suffering from a loss of memory most pitiable. One day he denounces in unqualified terms any sympathy with the coalition party or knowledge of Mr. Speer’s telegram to Dr. Fel ton, while a very short time thereaf ter he signs an affidavit retracting In toto his first statement, acknowledges that he not only knew of but actually revised the obnoxious telegram, and winds up with the words, il there it no issue between me and Afr. Speer." In the interval on the 18th, Mf. Ste phens had written a letter referrihg to the subject matter contained In that dispatch to Dr. Felton, in which he uses the following language: , “Allow me to thank you for it (Fel- ton’s letter) and to say that I think S ou managed matters at Atlanta last londay admirably, looking, as I con ceived, -to the .best interests, of the state.” Until Mr. Stephens' can reconcile the above moss of incongruities to the satisfaction of the organized democ racy,we must decline to longer cham pion his course. He stands convicted either of a most treacherous memory, verging on to second childhood, or he is attempting to play a double game and Is in fuU sympathy with inde- pendentism and coalitionism. If there ' is no issue between Mr. Stephens and Mr. Speer he is not the man for the organized democracy of the ninth district to support. Mr. Stephens will doubtless explain that he intend ed only so far as applied to a question of veracity; but when we take these words in connection with his dispatch to Dr. Felton, and the telegram that Mr. Speer has “flattened in-this teeth,” we must confess that a victory for Mr. Stephens would be as disas trous to the organized democracy os the election of Dr. Felton or any oth er independent os governor of Georgia. This great old man is to-day certainly an object of pity. He has not only been made to eat his own words, but has the mask torn from his face just at a time when the property, intelli gence and respectability of his state were about to place upon his brow their highest mark of honor. He could then have fulfilled his desire and retired to the shades of private life, with the consciousness of bearing with him the love and esteem of his people. But instead we find him tottering upon a rot ten fence, discarded and distrusted by both parties, and the grand works and rpcord of a life time obliterated. We indeed grieve to see the downfall of such a mighty intellect; but will draw the veil of charity over the scene aud lay the entire blamb upon his too ardent friends, who sought to draw an old man, wrecked in both body and memory, from the brink of the grave and tli rust him forward at a time when it most required a clear head to carry victory.
