the feelings of a youth desirous of ed
ucating himself without the means to
do so; and the good fortune which a
loan o^money for support while en
gaged in study was considered a* con
ferring upon the recipient. I recollect
very well; too, that prudence dictated
an ecqpoiqicnl Course so as to incur
no more indebtedness than was act
ually , necessary. .1 preferred to live
plainly and cheaply, and study hard;
rather than he too much loaded with
debt; but I considered myself very
fortunate when I was able to borrow
the amount actually necessary for tlie
prosecution • of my studies even to a
limited extent. And I doubt not there
are at this time -large numbers of

are prompted lyr the. same feelings.

ny with Gem Brown and Prof. Wood-
fln, of the University. Hewasiir his
rolling chair, and appeared in fine
health and spirits. Mr. Stephens
stated that he stood bis journey admi
rably and felt very milch refreshed.
The conversation was of a general na
ture, aud he seemed in a most talka
tive humor. We found him quite an
encyclopedia on crops, and could give
the yield of different years for a half
Century past. In speaking of his new
history he stated that he had yet about
two weeks’ work to do thereon. He
hod got down to the administration ojf
President Grant, and it would require
two more chapters to conolude it.
Prof. Butherford, who had joined thq
party, asked if it was a political work?
“No, not'exactly,” was the . reply,
“blit you know it is hard for me tq
write a book, without wedging in.
sotuf politics.” In speaking of the
University, be remarked that aheat
lithograph of the buildiitgs should ha
placed on every document sent out,
ajj,it was a good advertisement, and
the Yankees always availed them?
selves of this. He was at this instant
approached by Capt. Williams, who
asked his order for dinner. “WeU,”
replied the. Commoner, “you can. fix
pie up most any thing just so it isn’t
butter, eggs or milk. A mutton chop,
a roast of sirloin beef or anything you
have convenient. I am afraid I shock
ed yonr servent this morning by ask
ing ifyou cleared yourcoffee with egg
shells.”
Mr. Stephens says he expects con
gress will adjourn about dog-days, add-
,ing with a smile, “ahd it is a most op
portune season, too, I think-” He
said he had not conversed ' with Mr.
Speer, but their servants were quite
intimate and he learned from that
source that >Ir. Speer would not at
tend commencement. Mr. StopheilB
will return to Washington and. re
main until he finishes his book,
fif has matted into a room , in
the library building of thq University,
where be will havemore space to re-
ceive and entertaiu his friends.
After the visitors had departed Mr.
Stephens invited tis into his., room,
No. 16. Without assistance he roidled
himself along in bis chair, and see pl
ed more vigorous and active than
when we saw him last. We.found
several colored servants on hand, and
the room well filled with baggage.
,We took oneof tbe two chain at Jhand,
and for tbe first time broached the sub
ject of politics.
“We democrats must quit this .fool*
fairness,” was the reply, “and work
together. I am in no combination
with the independents and ‘never
have been. As to Mr. Speer, 1 know
no more about his plans and arrange
ments than you do. file has al ways
treated me politely and respectfully
and I have endeavored to do the same
by. him. He 1s an independent and I
am an organised democrat. He'has
never offered me his confidence, nei
ther have I sought It. I see as Mttle
of him as any ofthe Georgia delega
tion in congress. There was a great
hue and cry raised about my endorse
ment of his statement about that tele
gram. 'Ha came into my room and
spoke it the subject. I told him to
do as he saw fit; that I had no ooiitrol
over jiijn whatever in the matter. I
