He had $7,000 to start with, partly money (hat he had saved anil the rest borrowed. In whatever direction he reached money seemed to answer the touch. The news of his lr.ck went back and fairly bewildered the town whence he cajne. Of those who took the fever seven gave up their employment aud came to the city, making here a little bunch of speculators, like many another f°r Kite that may be found iu H all street, drawn together by like causes, from many parts of the country. It is just as when somebody draws a prize in a lottery ; straightway half the people in the neighbor hood go to buying lottery tickets. And for the same reason you mat find in small cities and towns re mote from New York communities who seem to have a bent for stock speculations. .Ask why, aud usu ally' you will discover that some body from that town has gone to This is the case in which Ntr. W. P. Lipford was prosecutor. Wheu the caso_jins called, the r. A, Mr. R. W. Patterson. A variance, appeared on the bill of indictment in the name of ono of 'thfe Grand Jurors, Mr. Oscar Lager^uiit, and he was summoned to the’ Court. Mr. Patterson, on his arrival, moved a plea in abatement to the effect that Mr. Lagerquist was an alien. He was placed on the stand aud it was shown that ho was born in Sweden and bad nev er been naturalized ; that be came to America about twenty-seven years since, wheu lie was about live years of age. The State en deavored to slow that bis father lmd been naturalized in New York. This testimony was objected to on the ground that the higucst evi dence of that fact were the re cords of the New York courts, and the position was takeiVby the defense that even if he was, thaf did not give citizenship to sou. The counsel for tbo i Stutfc! then claimed that tho general act of 1802 made citizens of the children of all aliens in the United/^tatcs who had been naturalized. 'IJ'his was answered by the defense, that the effect of that uctlwas tempor ary, and that the Fourteenth Amendment superseded -it-. J The plea in abatement was sustained bv the court and the case quash ed. The question of Mt-J Lagcr- quist’s citizenship had been .before I he grand jury, % but that body de cided that he was eligUdeito sit upon the jury. The case presents some very pretty points. If Judge Holt’s decision is correct, about sixty in dictments found at the last term of the Superior court will be quashed. 000,000 seen t drcnli nioB seventy million dollars- ..in K'ealUi* •f Gcorgis >e*roes. — „. ; r ... .ypnr,company, and trust and bd i the Conttitutiim our future relations will always Some days ago published the Tcuums to the coiqptrol ier general’s office, giving the total of property held subject .to tax in the state. It will be remembered that the total of taxable , values had fallen bfl about $1,000,000 in tlw state. , We now have a showing . to^makv that is the reverse of that. The ,ue- grot-s of the state instead of seeing their property decrease, have snugly added to it, and vbeir total goes up to *5,182,308 this year, against 85,124,s 875 last vear. giving a net increase of 857, 523. Tins does not represent the actual increase of negro poverty but much less than that. The bulk of ne gro poverty has decreased in value at least 10 per cent.—so that to nicely hold their own, they would have hail to add about 860,1.(in. They have not only done this but hive gone 57,523 dollars over their old figures. In the one item of land alone, the- negroes have added 89,309 acres to their pos sessions during the his*, year, making a total of 341,199 ae es owned by ne groes in Georgia. This record is a good one aud shows that whatever may be said elsew here, we have the best of proof at home that the uegroes ate prospering. Thete are only lour negroes in the state worth over 10,000 dollars—so that the property of $5,182,398 is divided in small lots among the negroes o! all classes and all sections. •». ■ .. e ! •>. ., When are Women Lovely. coa.vKuaAi. natriuzEits. ■stlnjr Fn**:s mill Fi*r pleheStik. •« Ime/ai <!

IIOX. A. U. STEPHENS [Baltimore Evening Hon. Ale.tatidcr' fOTSSjiqilicns writes a letter to . the JJaletbi, in whicl) lie corrects some statements made by a Washington corr. si ondent, aud at thu same time makes an avowal . of his political opinions that are ve)y pointed. The journals oi the country ol all political shades have for ten days past spoken very freely of Mr. Stephens’ reported sympathy with a movement said to exist amongst some Southern Democrats in favor ot General Grant for President. What Mr. Stephens has to say on this subject will he read with great interest. The letter ol Mr. Stephens, together with that por tion ot the Jiullctin's Washington correspondence, which induced him to write it, arc given in full, as tols lows: Wasuisgton, 26 Nov., 1879. Editor Evening Unltelin, Haiti more, Md.—Dear Sir:—Some Irietid has sent to me a copy of your paper of the 24ili list., with the article headed Washington Gossip marked in a manner indicating an object to call my special attention to it. In this article, among other tilings, 1 find the following : “Political gossip has re-opeued with usual autumnal vigor. Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, ot G -orgia, comes in for a good share of et itic.sm aneut his reported change of view-. It is confidently he ieved in certain circles that, lie is going over to the enemy, while his friends believe there is something deeper than an unquali fied surrender in Ids movement. That he is continually ‘hobnobbing’ with the leading Republicans is generally regarded as indicating an under (ptr- reut of some significance, and both Republicans and Democrats ajj anX ious to know dlmt it ail means. “Mr. Stephens Was visited last evening by ex-Governor Bagley, ol Michigan, ami several other promi nent Republicans They were in con sultation up to a very late hour last night. Although Governor Bagley was disappointed in not being ap pointed to fiil the place made vacant by Senator Chandler, the heat au thority has it that he is yet a Stalwart and stands well it) his State, aud would have been chosen if it had been one of those Senatorshlps decided hy a Legislative vote. So the conference last night was probably in connection with the Grant movement in thu South. Robert Toombs, Dr. Felton, GoV. Colquitt, of Georgia, an! others, are regarded as pronounced Grant men, a id Mr. Stephens has warm personal friendship tor General Grant —whether anything more is not pos itively known. General Grant had a long and pleasant meeting with Mr. Stephens just before his departure ujion his lour around thu world. Gen eral Grant will make a tour of the South the coming winter to test the Grant boom there.’’ Now, who your correspondent is « rho gave this information I do not mow, hut I suppose you would not wish, knowingly or otherwise, to pub fish untruths. Aud I feei it my duty to let you know, and hope you will —ttnlr tr-rtcr. Ouly a letter tint came ^last night, 1 A deaMitrte lrtTt-.tii.Td winaart with white,.

After a while I went to my state room and undressed; but, the _ night was too enticing lor moving down the bay now, and it was pleasant to stand at the window and take the cool night brefzo and watch the gliding lights on shore. Presently two elderly men sat down under that window and began a eonverriitbn. Their talk was property i'O business of mine, yet I was feeling friendly, to wards the world anflSyillirg to be ’ entertained.
