The “ Blue Favorite” Grape,
I)it. Cbot ti— Dear Sir;—Allow me space, in |
your valuable agricultural journal to bring to I
the notice of your renders, the excellent quali
ties of the “Blue Favorite” Grape. It com
bines more good qualities than any other with
which I ant acquainted—being long lived, a :
prolific bearer, maturing its berries much about
the same time, not requiring, but still admit
ting severe pruning, and makes delicious
wine.
I have not been able to trace the origin of
the “ Blue Favorite” grap?. Tradition gives it
an European origin. It has been cultivated in
Georgia, successfully, since 1828. There arc
vines now growing in Clinton, Geo., in the
garden of Captain Jonathan Parish, which
were planted twenty-five years ago, and are
still healthy and prolific bearers, as will be
seen by reference to the following letter ad
dressed to Major Win. J. Howard, of Cross
Keys, Macon county, Alabama, to whom you
are indebted for the liberty of publishing
it, and who lias obtained cuttings of the Blue
Favorite grape, and has now quite a vineyard
of it. 1 presume he will have a number of cut
tings to spare by next fall.
I Copy of a Letter from Capt. J. Parish.]
Clintifli, Ga., March 7, 1859.
My Dear Major : —You request me to give
you the origin and history of the Blue Favo
rite grape. In reply, I beg leave to say, Mr.
McCall, of Laurens county, Ga., introduced
this superb grape into the State. He was the
first person who made wine for sale in Geor
gia.
About the year 1828 the “grape fever” ran
very high in Jones county. Dr. Bowen, and
several other persons, visited Laurens county,
for the purpose of procuring cuttings from Mr.
McCall. They easily got all his different
kinds of grapes, save the Blue Favorite, and
this he would not let them have for love nor
money—no, not one cutting—so highly did he
prize it.
The next year Major Alfred Iverson, now
Uuited States Senator from Georgia, got a few
cuttings of the Blue Favorite grape from Mr.
McCall, and he was the only person I know of
who ever got one from him. The Major rais
ed two or three vines from these cuttings, in
his garden. He afterwards moved to Colum
bus, Ga., and, his lot not being occupied, stock
broke his fence aud destroyed his vines.—
While this waste was going on, I got a few
cuttings from his vines. Four of them lived.
They are still living and bearing, and the cut
tings I gave you are from these vines. Yon
are the only person out wf the State to whom
I have given cuttings of the Blue Favorite
grape.
None but the McCall grape is the genuine
Blue Favorite. I have seen grapes like it in
color, but not in flavor or shape of bunches.—
The bundles of tliegenuine Blue Favorite, when
large, are shaped like a sugar-loaf, and the ber
ries on them grow so thick that they crowd
each other out of sluqie.
Vntil very recently, I have paid very little
attention to grape culture, aud am now satis
fied that I have slept over my most profitable
worldly interest, until this late hour of my
life. I thought wine glowing in this State
was a humbug. All my neighbors, who were
so crazy on the subject in 1828, quit the busi
ness, except Dr. Bowen. He made four or five
hundred gallons some years. I had a few
vines in my gardeu and made some fifty or six
ty gallons, for my own use. Last year I visit
ed the Indian Springs with my family, and
took some of my wine with me. Persons from
different parts of tlie State drank of it. When j
I returned home, I found orders for more wine '
ihan 1 bad on hand. One man took all the
L.ue Favoaite wine 1 had to spare at $3.00 i
per gallon, and all other kinds I sold at $2.50.
By this you w ill sec that I thought very lit
tle ot wine making, until 1 found that my wine
w ould sell at a good price. I have oidy four
old vines—tlie same that i planted twenty-five
'rui” **o ' Biis year about one acre
of Blue Favorite roots ami cuttings.

My vines are the same I planted twenty-five
or more years ago. As the vines get old and
knotty, I turn out a healthy shoot from the
root, or ns near it as possible. Next year I saw
off the old knotty vine. By this process I have
had healthy, vigorous vines, from the same
roots for twenty-five years.
And now Major, let me say to you that had
I gone into the wine business twenty years
ago, and planted ten or twenty acres in vines -
at that time, I could, with five hands, make '
more than I enn make with all my force in

Having the honor to be an acquaintance of
Hou. Alfred Iverson, referred to by Capt Par
ish, I addressed him a letter in reference to
the Blue Favorite grape, mid received from '
the following reply :
[ Copy <>f a Otter from Hon. Alfred Irerson.]
Coi.vmbi s, March 25, 1859.
Dear Sir : —I am in receipt of your favor of I
the 22d inst. Thanking you for the compli- '
mentary notice of my public services, I have
to express my regrets that I cannot satisfy
your curiosity in relation to the grape of which
you speak. I remember visiting Mr. McCall ,
at every Court in I aureus county for several j
years, during the time he was experimenting ,
upon various grapes and manufacturing wine j
from them. I also remember that he had a
most delicious wine from what he called the
“ Blue Favorite;” but I have no recollection
of its history, sufficiently distinct to be relia
ble. The impression on my mind is that he
represented it as a foreign grape, ami perhaps
from Hungary or the Rhine. Mr. McCall I I
remember, prized the grape and its wine more
highly than any of his varieties, of which he |
had several, both native and foreign. My re- s
collection is that the wine of the Blue Favor -
I ite was a rich violet color, and was exceeding- ,
ly delicious. He had only a small quantity
and gave it very sparingly to his guests.—only
a taste. I am sorry I cannot give you more
information in relation to this grape, but it
has been a “ long time ago,” and my memory
was not taxed with the subject. At the time
it was an interesting one to me, but other pur
suits and a thousand cares have driven it from
my mind and heart. Although immersed in
political life, and not void of the ambition to ;
continue it, I yet, often sigh for the more hap
py days when I cultivated the fruit, the vine,
and the Hower, and made them my study and
principal source of pleasure.
Yours truly, &c.,
A. Iverson. |
Hoping this lengthy communication may not
be uninteresting and prove profitable to your
readers, I have the honor to be
Yours, &c.,

From the Atlanta Intelligencer.
Internal Improvement Meetiner.
On the morning of the Bth inst., a portion
of the citizens of Fulton county met in the
City Hall of Atlanta, to take into consider
ation the propriety of holding a General
State Internal Improvement Convention in this
city.
On motion, Marcus A. Bell was called to
the Chair, and S. B. Hoyt requested to act as
Secretary.
Mr. J. Norcross introduced the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That we notice, with pleasure, the
proposition of citizens of South-Western Geor
gia for a convention of the people generally
throughout the State to take into considera
tion the subject of further Internal Improve
ments in Georgia.
Resolved 2d, That so long as a very large
portion of our large State remains destitute of
the great benefits arising from the Railroad
and Locomotive, and so long as the immense
resources of these destitute portions must re"
main undeveloped, and the people poor for the
want of these improvements, it would be wrong
to abandon a policy which has benefitted por
tions of the State hundreds of millions of dol
lars, without injury to any. J ustiee and equal
ity call for an extension of a policy, until its
benefits are distributed as widely as may be
compatible with the welfare of the whole
State, and the safety of her finances and
credit.
Resolved 3d, That while our State and her
improvements are in danger of being surpas
sed and laid in the back ground by rivalries
in other States, such aid as a rich and power
ful State can afford with perfect safety to her
self, should not be withheld from her citizens
in such a struggle.
Resolved 4tb, We accept the suggestion for
holding the said Convention in this city, and
cordially invite the citizens from nil parts of
; the State, and approve of the second Wednes
j day in August next for the Convention to
meet.
Resolved sth, XVe recommend that each
county in the State be entitled to representa
tion in the Convention, by two delegates for
each member of the Legislature, and that the
opponents of State Aid, as well as friends, be
entitled to seats on equal footing.
Resolved 6th, That the Chairman of this
meeting be, and is hereby authorized to ap
point a Committee of Seven, whose duty it
shall be to make sueh arrangements for the
Convention as may be deemed necessary.
Resolved 7th, That the press of this city
and throughout the State, lie requested to give
publicity to these proceedings.
Ik In accordance with the sixth resolution, the j
Chair appointed Lemuel Dean, Clark Howell,
J. S. Thrasher, C. C. Rawson, C. R. llanleiter>
Jas. L. Dunning aud L. E. Bleckley, Commit
tee.
On motion, the Chair appointed J. Norcross
Jared I. XVhitaker, James M. Calhoun and S.
B. Hoyt Delegates to represent this County in
said Convention, and each delegate was au
thorized to fill his own vacancy.
On motion, the meeting odjourned.

Maryland Slaveholders Conven-
TION.
Baltimore, June 9.—The Maryland Con
vention to consider the best means of regula
ting the free-negro population in Maryland
met again this morning. Tlie hall was crowd
,ed and much interest manifested itself. Hon.
I James Allred Pearce, chairman of the coin
' mittee on resolutions submitted the report
and resolutions of a majority of the commit-
. I tee.
F. W. Jacobs, of Worcester county, present- ;
, ed the views of a petition of the minority, be- |
. ing a written address, going over the whole
, ground of detailing the grievances of the slave
owners of Maryland and tlie pernicious influ
cnee of tree negroism on the population gener- j
ally. It advocates the prohibition of enianci- I
1 pation, and the passage of laws for the gradual
e> tinetion of free negroism; alludes to the ten
dency in the Northern and Western States to
legislation against free negroes, and to the in
tiuference of the Melhodiet-Epiaeupal Church
1 North in the matter. j
It is very severe on the New York Christian i
Advocate touching its strictures in the enliven- <
lion held at Cambridge, and for attempting to <
I tlu eaten, with the e<'eiesiu.tieal, cowhide, the
Mi tluMlist. of Maryland if they connteuam ed
the present movement. Ihe mover, himself a <
mat hod let, repudiated in strmig language any s

dom Mb. itmUtuCUn* of the touts. / $
The Internal Improvemint Convm
tion will be held in Atlanta on the second
Wednesday in August next, when we hope ,
every section of the State will be represented
by full delegations. It is a very important ■
movement, and the press should keep it be
fore the people. In another column will be
found the proceedings of a meeting held in At- ,
lanta last week to make the necessary arrange
ments for holding the Convention.
ft-TT' The Savannah Republican came to us
yesterday in a handsome new suit. The large,
dear type with which it is printed is a deeid- •
ed improvement. W’ c< i.gratnlate our cotem
porary upon this indication of bis prosperity,
and hope he may go on prospering and to pros
per.
XVe do, however, protest against his propo- ,
sition to reduce his rate of subscription. The
present rates of weekly papers leave a very
small margin for profit, and there is no sense
in reducing them merely to get a large sub- j
scription list. Besides, it is acting somewhat
unfairly to the country papers who can bare- '
ly make a living at present prices. For our
part, rather than reduce our rates we will re
sign the tripod, and try to find something that
will require less work and yield more pay.
fssi” The editor of the Telegraph this morn
ing gives his experience in attending Conven
tions. lie says:
“ 117 went to that Convention—there were
but three short speeches made—but four short,
pithy resolutions passed and — ice whipped the
tight.”
Prodigious ! ceni, ridi, vici. lie “ went to
that Convention,” and he actually “whipped
the fight” with the help of only “ three short
speeches.” Surely our neighbor is an invalu
able politician. Can’t be go to another Con
vention, and “ whip the fight" for the Demo
' cratic candidate in this Congressional District?
I Come, neighbor, if you have done it once you
1 can do it again. Try, won't you ?
—' ’'' ~ ’
The Federal Union of to-day in its lend
i ing article is “very much astonished” at the
I proposition to ignore the Administration of
I Mr. Buchanan in the Gubernatorial Conven
. tion. Now we w < uld like to know what the Ad
ministration has done to entitle it to the appri -
! bationand endur ement of Southern Democrats.
| The Union cites the custom for the Convention
‘ to pass resolutions endorsing the Administra
tion—a poor reason for not departing from the
1 custom in this instance. The fact cannot be
: disguised, that the administration has in some
I cases been false to the Southern Democracy,
and it would be suicidal policy, (to say nothing
| of the sacrifice of self-respect) toendorse it. We
' reiterate the opinion of one of our correspon
| dents that silence is chai iti/ to the Administra
tion—ami we wil' add. without ahatine one iot
nr tittle of our attachment to Democratic prin-
I'i’ lcs, that it is more charity than is deserved.
XVe presume the-e will be some debate on
this snbioet in the Convention to-morrow, and
wo shall look to the result with considerable
I interest.

Reception of the Chatham Ar-
T I L L E R Y.
This time-honored corps from our sister city.
Savannah, arrived punctually at our depot last
evening, rn route for Nashville, and were re
ceived with the customary military honors by
the Macon Volunteers. Capt. Smith, the Floyd
Riflemen, Capt. Ilardeman, and the Bibb Coun
ty Cavalry, Capt. Fitzgerald, all in full dress
uniform.
A dense crowd, as large as we have ever seen
here, assembled on the occasion, and cheer af
ter cheer “made the welkin ring.” The ex
cellent brass l and which accompanied our
guests discoursed martial music, and ever and
anon a peal burst f rth from the canon in
charge of a sqund from the newly-organized
Jackson Artillery in command of L'eut. Burg
hard. Altogether it was au exciting time:
and as Dr. Sum. Johnson once said, we ‘thought
meanly of ourself for not being a soldier’ in
stead of a poor devil of an Editor.
The Chatham Artillery worn next conducted
to the spacious hall over the Passenger Depot
, where a suirptuous collation had been pre-
I pared by our different military companies and
the City Counc’l. Here we had a glorious
. time—one that baffles description, to appreci
ate it you must have been there. The soldiers
. charged the meats and other eatables in the
most gallant style, and kept up a continual
. popping of quart Ileidsicks until all were sat
, isfied and “the force of nature could no fur
ther go.”
, The reception speech was made in a most
I cordial and appropriate manner by Capt. Smith
f of the Volunteers, to which Mr. Cuyler repl'ed
. in behalf of the Chatham Artillery, paying a
, graceful compliment to our city and her inhab
itants and predicting that Macon by means of
, her Railroads would eventually become one of
. the greatest inland markets in the country.
Mr. Cuyler is right. Macon (and, indeed,
, the whole of Georgia) owes its prosperity to its
, Railroads, and the more we have of them the
better—even if we have to get a little State
( aid, Mr. C’s application of the fable of Iler
. cities and the wagon-wheel to the contrary not
t withstanding. But let that pass.
> After the feast, came t> e “flow of soul,”
Members ot the different companies were eall-
■j e 1 on for speeches, sentiments &c. Captain
i Cleghorn responded to a call made upon him
! in a handsome sty le, and was followed by
■ , Lieut. Jones of the Artillery, who said among
' other things that all lie wanted was for our
; boys to go to Savannah and give the Chat-
• hams a chance to reciprocate the hospitality
whii h had been extended to them. The Floyd
Riflemen were represented by Capt. Harde
man and Lieut. Geo. W. Ross, both of whom
made several “ good hits” in short speeches
which were recei ed with applause. Lieut.
Armstrong was next called to take the stand
upon the table; he complained that he was
too Jtill for utterance, but nevertheless man
aged to make a clever speech.
The Chatham Artillery (who by-tlie-by are
a remarkably fine looking body and can out
cliger any set of men in the worlu) gave three
deafening cheers for Capt. Smith, and for Ma
con, and for Mayor Sparks &c„ and were re
sponded to by the Macon Companies with
hearty cheers for the Chatham Artillery, Sa
vannah. <Src„ &c. In a word we never before
heard as much noise as they made.
Our Sivanmdi friends seemed to enjoy them
| selves greatly, as indeed did every one in the !
room. And here we must not neglect to men-
I tion the exertions of liis Honor the Mayor,
who seemed to lie übiquitous, now here and
■ now there extending courtesies to every body
I and doing everything in his power to render ■
, the evening as pleasant us possil le.
But everything must cud, end so it was with
this entertainment. After a stay of something
over an hour the whistle of the magnificent
Engine sounded, the ( hathams took their seal
in the cars decked with star-spangled ban
ners and flags bearing appropriate devices and
inscriptions, and amid the firing of the caunou
and the shouts of the multitude, made their
departure with a “Gol spued" from our citi- j
ciliseua.

The Meeting on Tuesday.
Inadvertently, the Secretary put the head
“American Meeting” to the proceedings of the
"Opposition" Meeting held at the City Hall on
Tuesday last. Thia explanation is g'iven that
no injustice may be done those who were pre
sent.who have been acting with the so-called
Democratic party, and caused them to appear
inconsistent by participating in the proceed- 1
ings of an American Meeting.— Atlanta Amer
ican.
We will venture to say that the Secretary of j
the meeting referred to in the above paragraph
is an honest man, and has no desire to sail un
der false colors. We think the explanation of
the American unnecessary, for we hardly be
lieve any Democrat "green” enough to be
caught with such chaff as the American party
is now baiting them with.
“What’s in a name ? a rose by any other
name will smell as sweet,” and the name with
which the American party is trying to hide its
cloven foot, will be as detestable to nil good I
Democrats as the name of K. N.
We must, however, give our opponents cred
it for selecting very appropriate names. We
thought Know Nothing suited them exactly,
but they have improved upon it vastly by add
ing the word Opposition— their only principle
being to oppose the Democrats right or wrong,
just as n certain sleepy Congressman relieved
himself of the trouble of listening to the de
bates by adopting the ingenious policy of vo
ting no whenever Mr. Calhoun voted yes!
Our friends of the Opposition are not dispo
sed to bother their brains about abstruse polit
-1 ical questions, and hence they always “go it
blind ” against the Democracy. Smart fel

There were many gentlemen of this city, as
well as Delegates from different parts of the
State, who were very desirous of going to the
I Capital hist night to attend the Democratic
! Gubernatorial Convention to day ; but were
1 disappointed in doing so from the fact that the
authorities of the Central Rail Road neglected
to provide an accommodation train from Gor

I have lost nothing by accommodating the Del-

THE YOUHC WIFE,
OR
THE SHADOWS WE CAST
A young wife had busied herself for many
days in preparing a pleasant surprise for her
I husband. The work was finished at last, and 1
now she awaited his return, with a heart full
of emotions. A dressing gown and a pair of
elegantly embroidered slippers, wrought by
her own skillful tingjrs, were the gifts with
which she meant to delight him. What a troop
of pleasant fancies was in her heart? How
almost impatiently did she wait for the com
ing twilight, which was to dawn, not approach
ing darkness, to her.
At last, she heard the step of her bushand
in the passage, and her pulse leaped with flat
i tering delight. Like a bird upon the wing,
she almost flew down to meet him, impatient
for tb.e salutation that awaited her.
To men in the world cf business, few days
pass without their disappointments and per
plexities. It is men's business to bear these
in a manly spirit. They form but a portion of
life’s discipline, and should make them stron
ger, braver, and more enduring. Unwisely
and we may say unjustly, too, many men, fail
to leave their business cares and troubles in
their work shops or counting houses, at the
day’s decline. They wrap them in bundles,
and curry them home to shade K their house
holds.
It was so with the young husband on this
particular occasion. The stream of business
had taken an eddying whirl, and thrown his
vessel backwards, instead of onwards, for a
brief space : and though it was still in the cur
rent, and gliding safely onward again, the jar
and disappointment had fretted his mind se
' rerely. There was no heart warmth in the kiss
lie gave his wife, not because love had failed in
any degree but because he had let care over
shadow love. lie drew bis arm around her ;
but she was conscious of a diminished pres
sure in that embracing arm.
“ Are you not well ?” she inquired.
With what tender concern was the question
asked.
“ Very well,” he replied.
He might be in body, but not in mind ; that
was plain ; for his voice was far from being
cheerful.
She played ami sang his favorite pieces,
hoping to restore, by the charm of music,
brightness to his spirits. But she was con
cious of only partial success. There was a
gravity in his manner never perceived before.
At tea time she smiled upon him so sweetly
acr °ss the table, and talked to him on such at
tractive themes, that the bright expression re
turned to his countenance, and he looked as
happy as she could desire.
After ten was over the young, wife judged
the proper time had come for offering her gift,
and receiving the coveted reward of glad sur
prise, followed by sweet and loving words.—
Was she selfish ? Did she think more of her
reward than of the pleasure she would bes
tow. But that is questioning too closely.
“ I will be back in a moment,” she said :
and passing from the room, she went lightly
up the stairs.
Both tone and manner betrayed her secret,
or, rather the possession of a secret, with
which her husband was to be surprised.—
Scarcely had her loving face faded from be
fore his eyes, when thought returned, with a
single bound to the unpleasant events of the
day and the waters of his life were again trou
bled. He bad actually arisen and crossed the
room once or twice, moved by a restless con
cern. when his wife came back with the dress
ing gown and slippers. She was trying to
force her countenance into a grave expression,
to hold back the smiles that were continually
striving to break the truant circles around her
lips, when a single glance at her husband’s
face told her that the spirit, driven away by
exorcism of her love, had returned again to his
bosom. He looked at her soberly as she came
forward.
“ What are these ?” he asked, almost coldly
repressing surprise, and affecting an ignorance
that he did not feel in regard to the beautiful
present she held in her hands.
“ They are for you, dear,” was the reply.—
“ I made them.”
•‘For me!” he exclaimed: “nonsense!—
what do I want with such jimcrackery ? This
is woman’s wear. Do you think I would dis
figure my feet with embroidered slippers, or
dress up in that gown ? Put them away, dear,
lour husband is too much a man to robe him
self in gay colors, like a down or an actor.”—
And he waived his hand with an air of con
tempt.
There was a cold sneering manner about
him partly affected and partly real: the result
of his uncomfortable state of mind. Yet he
loved his sweet wife, and would not, of set pur
pose, have wounded her for the world.
This unexpected repulse, this eruel recep
tion of her present, over which she had wrought
patiently, in golden hope for many days, this
dashing to earth of her brimful enp of joy,
just as it touched her lips, was more than the
fond young wife eould bear. To hide the tears
that came rushing to her eyes, she turned away
from her husband ; and to conceal the sobs
she had no power to repress, she went almost
hurriedly from the room, and going back to the
chamber, from whence she had brought the
present, she laid the articles away out of sight
in a closet. Then covering her face with her
hands, she sat down and strove with herself to
be calm. But the shadow was too deep, the
heart-ache too severe.
In a little while her husbmd followed her,
and discovering somewhat to his surprise, that
she was weeping, said, in a slightly reproving
voice, “ Why, actually in tears! What a silly
puss you are! Why didn't you tell me that
you thought of making a dressing gown and a
pair of slippers? I would have vetoed the
matter at once. You couldn’t persuade me to
wear such flaunting things. Come back to the
parlor,” he said, taking hold of her arm, and
lifting her from the chair, “and sing and play
for me.”
Almost by force he led her back to the parlor
and placed her on the music stool. lie select
ed a favorite piece, and laid before her. But
tears were in her eyes, and she eould not see a
note. Over the keys her fingers went in skill
ful touches ; but when she tried to take up the
words utterance failed, and sobs broke forth in
their stead.
“ How foolish!” said the husband :in a vex
ed tone. “I tun surprised at you.” And he
turned from the piano, and walked across the
room. A little while the sad wife remained
where she was thus left alone, and in partial j
linger. Then rising she went slowly from the
room—her husband not seeking to restrain her I
—and going back to her chamber, sat down in
darkness.
The shadow which had been cast u|s>n her
spirit was very deep; and though the bidden
sun came out again right early, it wa» a long j
lime before his l>eum» hud power to scatter .
the clouds iu love's horizon.

The Rt. Rev. Bishop Pierce, now journey-

great Eldora lo of the West, thus writes of our
1 new and flourishing sister of south-west:
“Texas is a curious country—a paradox.—
Everything is in the superlative, or contradic
tory, or marvelous. It is the richest and the
poorest—has the best land, the meanest water;
' is the hardest country to live in. and has the
most to live on ; the days are the hottest, and
' ; the nights the coolest: the best roads, and the
slowest travel: the finest building -material,
and the least use made of it: there are more
clouds, and less rain ; more plains, and less
1 timber: more ropes to tie horses, and yet more
estrays ; a poor country for farming, and yet
the most productive : the least work and the
largest yield : the horses are small and the
’ cattle big : the frogs have homes, and the rab
j bits ears like mules; the people are intelligent
' | without general education—inventive without
' ! being tricky—refined without mannerism—
rich without money —hospitable without hous
1, es—bold, generous and brave. In fine, here is
an empire in extent and resources, but in the
i slowest process of evolution, and yet destined
to population, wealth and power. There is
- much to admire, but little to deplore ; many
' things to enchant, but few to offend ; and for
the people and their institutions, hqye is a
1 splendid future.”

CHANGING HUSBANDS FOR LIFE.
Evening before last, just before the 8.30 P.
M. St. Louis train left the Ohio nnd Mississip
r pi Railroad Depot, a well-dressed and honest
looking man, in company with a fair-headed
woman, arrived at the station, and wished his
, baggage checked to the Mound City. While
the baggage-master was picking out the stran
_ ger’s trunks, another couple, masculine nnd
t feminine, the latter dark-haired and black
, eyed, went up for the same purpose, nnd were
waiting patiently, when theburnette staired at
, the twain and said : “YVhy, you are my hus
band, what are you doing here, and'with this
hussy too ?’* applying terms to the blonde more
, remarkable for intensity than their politeness.
So roundly did she abuse her that the blonde
. , could not withhold a very provoking reply,
I- whereupon the brunette leaped at her thmat
. like a tiger, and would have stranglad her,
. perhaps, had not her adversary protected her
< self resolutely.
> Then followed a grand scene. The two fe
males fought after their peculiar fashion ener
, getically, tearing each other’s clothes and hair,
, and scratching each other’s faces most indns
] triously. Their protectors made no effort to
separate them, seeming rather to enjoy the
sport: but at last two or three of the railroad
attaches interfered and caused a cessation of
r hostilities.
The brunette by this time was crying vio
lently, and begun to upbraid her husband for
. deserting her, proving the truth of what Mon
taigne says of the sex. The husband remark
ed that he was doing no more than she—that
he was running off with another man’s wife,
and she with another woman’s husband, and
wished to know the difference in their moral
depravity.
This was a puzzle to the dark-eyed Xantippe,
i who by the way of answer, said she had al
ways hated her liege Lord, and would always
hate him.
The blonde then spoke to her husband, the
brunette’s companion, of his faithlessness, but
, excused it in consequence of her own, assuring
him he need not endeavor to change her pur
, pose, for she would never live with him again.
. When the party became cool, they appeared
well satisfied with the exchange of wives, and
s were in favor of continuing the arrangement,
. although at a loss for some time to determine
, how they had met at the depot.
■ The couples were neighbors, and the men
had tor months been enamored of each other’s
• spouses, disliking their own accordingly. The
i consequence was an elopement on a certain
• night,—which both happened to choose, ig
norant of the intention of the other until they
met as we have related.
Singular as it may appear, it is actually true,
i and shows the strangeness of coincidences in
many cases in which it seems predetermined.
The women liked their lovers, but abhorred
their husbands, and therefore concluded—not
i unusually it may be—that they would take
i what was agreeable to them, and leave the
- unpleasant part behind.
The husbands were satisfied and the wives
delighted, and the quartet agreed to go on to
St. Louis, and live there in the new relation
they had assumed. They hud found their ‘af
finity,’ and were inclined to adhere thereto, in
spite of their husbands, law, and fate.
The two couples got on two different cars. I
The locomotive whistled, the train started, I
and the droll party passed through t! e shadows I
of the night beyond the reach of vision.
