In one day they picked 207 pounds, each, making Billie 414 pounds for tne day’s work. Coleman picked 826 pounds in five days. •Gen. Eli Warren, of Perry, it is said, Jteked onc'hunE^unds oT^ton''^ ft day tells us tb it in his boyhood j people never had an idea that aniplck a rrr could bend the back all day cotton, and that It was customary for fllto t&efpfektrs to carry stools with them the fields, and sit and pick in a comfortable way. Gen.

Well John O’-Neil, the Eastport (Me.) divSl, tnade was employed to raise the bodies. He several descents, but failed to open the cabin doors. At last he succeeded. As the cabin door was opened, the first tiling he saw was two women fully suspended in the water. The rush of water carried them toward him, and they appeared to be alive. He "d ’PJjcd biudt in no, time before he gained suflicient courage to euter the cabin. There he found the Women who were passengers on that ill fated ship kneeling and holding each other by the hands, as if they had been engaged in prayer when the steamer went down. He then went into the smoking room. Tire cabin was in the wildest disorder. Chairs and tables were turned upside down, bottles were scattered about, and the men lay on the lloor as if they had perished during a drunken revel. Most of them had pistols in their hands. Scenes like this ■are common in sunken vessels which carry passengers down with them.”— New York IVorlcl. 17011011 County Vidcttc says: “We learn the following particulars from a gen¬ tleman living in Monticello of a sad case of fratricidal blood shed which ■occured near Mechanicsville, in Jasper county, on Tuesday last, the 27th ultimo.

Smith, brothers, both of Jasper county, Suet for the first time in many months at a still house near Mechanicsville on Tuesday, apparently on friendly terms.' and (It is fought proper to state that they quarreled about a private matter several years ago, but this matter had been formally settled, both agreeing to borrowed ‘dronit.’) During the afternoon John the knife of his brother Zack, telling him, as soon as he got possession of the knife, ‘You drew blood from me before—now I intend to draw some from you,’ at the same time advancing upon him with the drawn knife. At this stage of the difficulty a Mr. Hardy, brother-in-law of the Smiths, interfered to stop the trouble, and the deceased turned upon him with the knife. Hardy grabbed a chair and warned him not to advance upon him, and he again rushed upon his brothor, who by this time had picked up a barrel stave. As he ad¬ vanced Mr. Smith knocked out one of hiseyes, and struck him once on the head, fracturing his skull. He died in a short time.” Discovered at Last.

Christmas eve in New York. The crowds surged to and fro Happy-faced ehihlren, warmly clad lingered at windows to look at the Christmas treasures so temptingly displayed therein. Luxurious carriages with spirited horses and glittering harness stood waiting before jewelry stores and toy shops, soon to roll home laden with presents for many a pleasant surprise on Christmas morning. All seemed ioyous and happy. Sorrow had almost shrunk away, only tho few beggars still q^tho streets looked hungrier and more hollow-eyed than ever. Rex Danforth, artist, walked leisurely along the brilliantly lighted streets. It was dusk and the lamps were ail burning, lend¬ ing the enchantment of gaslight to tho varied scene. Mr. Danforth surveyed it all with cool, indifferent eyes. It was no new sight to him, for he had visited some of the fairest cities in the world ; had studied all kinds of human faces, and now the sight of this eager, joyous life did not make his pulses throb any quicker than they were wont to do, and they were very calm as a general thing. He was wealthy, an artist from a pure love of art. He was tall and fair, with a noble Saxon face, blonde beard and splendid dark, steel blue eyes, thirty years old with every day of his age stamped on his proud face. He was a man well worth wining as lover or friend. Snowflakes began to fall, noiselessly wrapping the world in a mantle of the soft test ermine ; soon the merry jingie of sleigh bells would fill the crisp air with their music. Mr. Danforth paused for an instant to look at his watch, and a little trembling voice said : “Give me a penny, for sweet charity's sake.” A small figure stood at his side. Two -g r u„a. s »,, re Eei Diinfortlfwas '’not considered . v«y ssss in the pitiful, pleading voice touched his heart, and he said kindly : “Who are you child ?” “Lee Henslee.” “Where do you live?” “I don’t live anywhere, now. I did live with my aunt but she is dead,” with a sob. A great throb of pity stirred Rex Dan¬ forth's heart and he put out his hand aDriiptiy said. “How would you like to come and lire wit h me and be my little girl 1” “May, I really and truly?” “Yes, really and truly,” with a smile, a look of joy unspeakable overspread the wan childish face. The pale lips of the child touched his hand . in gratitude.

In all the world there was nothing so nearly perfect to Miss Jane Danforth as her princely brother. Whatever h* did or said Crawfordville, Georgia, September 20,1878. was right with her, so when he brought, the elfish-looking little beggar girl with him and said he had adopted her, she made no objections but received her kindly.

Lee was soon drawn into tile circle of fashionable society. Those who remem¬ bered her former life chose to forget it now, and paid their court to the ward and heiress of Rex Danforth with great ardor. She was soon a belle, with scores, of lovers, all of whom slis refused. There was one, however, that wouldn't take no for an answer, and persisted in his atten¬ tions. The months passed rapidly and Christmas eve came again. Rex Danforth sat facing the possibility of losing Lee for all time. He had never thought of this before. Never dreamed of losing her, till on tho new Christmas eve when Ralph Hawthorne came to him, and asked permission to win Lee for his wife. The young man was rich and a gentleman, so there could bo no objection to him, and with a pain in his heart that few can ever feel, he gave his consent. Then for once he laid down brush anil colors, and sat gazing out of the window with eyes full of stem sadness, and lips closely compressed. His love was no light thing. It filled his heart and life. He had never loved any woman before, and thought he would rather Lee was dead than the wife of another. Dusk came on, and Lee nenslee sat in the warm, dimly lighted library, thinking so d< el ',^ tbat s ^ e Ilot * K ‘ r guardian . s step nor was she conscious of his presence till a deep voice said : “What are you thinking of Lee, that yon should look so grave ?” “Of the Christmas eve six years ago, when 1 asked a gentleman for a penny and he „? ave a h " me '’ ”£*»<»+***t ‘’(.'.yd! tomy “JJJ £ th ^ r*- lt “ d f r wljlte ~rr finger* toy!ing restlessly with the leaves of a book lying on the table by her side.
