Newnan Herald: There lives in
this community a hermit whose
name is Weaver, and whoss peculi
arites are a source of amazement to
nil who know him. The subject of
our sketch selected a secluded spot
remote from the road, and as remote
from the haunts of men as practical,
on which he reared an humble hut
on premises of his own. Here in
this situation he has lived during
the past fifteen years. At first he
cultivated small patches only using
nothing but his hoe, and those who
saw his farm say it was a moddle of
neatness. Gradully he enlarged his
cultivable area, until he attained
the goal of having more than he
could manage with his own brawny
muscle. The surplus was let to a
negro. Mr. Weaver keeps nothing
that will eat; has nothing to do with
any of his neighbors, except busi
ness transactions, seldom visits
public places, and never goes to
church, although he is surrounded
on all sides by houses of worship.
When called upon to pay a debt ru
mor says—for he never owed me
anything—that he always turns his
back on the payee until he can get
the amount due from his pocket,
and never at any time exhibits more
than he owes. His eat, it is said,
consists of a hickory switch, which
he uses with alacity when a mouse
is bold enough to reveal itself. As
an example of how well he keeps
himself secluded from the world I
will only add that, although I have
lived within twm miles of him for a
decade and a half, I remember to
have seen him but twice. Some are
of the opinion that he has a large
surr. of money buried somewhere on
his premises, basing their opinion
on the idea that his simple method
of living would not consume his in
come. Others doubt it. The truth of
the matter will probably never he
known this side of eternity, as the
hermit will be likely to die with the
secret in his bosom. Mr. Weaver
moved to this vicinity in the year
1870 from Pike county. It is alleged
that the cause of this secluded life
is an abhorance of women, he hav
ing been married once his wife
having proved untrue.
Washington Letter.
“There is a sigh in the heart though
the lip maybe gay ”is what Washing
ton is saying and feeling now. The
streets are covered with bunting.
The pension office, the youngest
and wickedest of all the govern
ment offices, is the most gayly be
decked of all. It is literally cover
ed with bunting, eagles, shields
and angels, arranged in tasteful de
signs. Aspasia, Nana and Cora
Pearl were never in all their ill got
ten wealth arrayed like the great
political harlot, the United States
Pension Office. And what doesthis
affectation of inaugural joy mean?
It means to catch the eye of Mr.
Cleveland as he rides to tho Capitol,
and to dazzle him into blindness to
all the sins of Dudley’s minions du
ring the late election. Behold how
loyal are we powerfully converted,
bran new democatic pension clerks.
No building in all Washington is
bedecked with the taste and gayety
of ours. Apostates from your own
vile faith, it shall not save ye from
the death. Oh generation of poli
tical sluggers, who hath warned ye
to flee from the wrath to come? And
think not to say unto yourselves:
we have Abraham Lincoln for a
father etc, etc. I could go on for
half an hour and quote Byron and
the Bible against these pension
clerks, for all the invective hurled
against Pharisees, Sadducees, and
hypocrites is applicable to those
upon whom their mantle has fallen
—the foiteen hundred clerks in the
U. S. Poision Oflice.
There are other offices filled with
foreboding and gloom. There is a
well founded fear that the wrongs of
a quarter of a century will now bo
avenged, not in the spirit ot ven
geance, but in vindication of a cheat
ed and long suffering public.
Nearly everything is in readiness
for the great pageant on the fourth
of March. The city is rapidly fill
ing with visitors. “It is expected
that fully twenty five thousand sold
iers will be in line on inauguration
day, and that the procession will bo
five miles in extent. The parade
will not be confined to one street, it
would be too long, but will approach
the Capitol by different routes. Pen
nsylvania avenue is lined on each
side with huge benched platforms,
of capacity to seat twenty thousand
or more spectators.
* Fireworks have been planned on
a very elaborate scale. The mana
gers promise the finest display ever
seen in this country. The fire dis
play will be in tho monument
grounds but can be seen from any
part of the city.
The Inaugural ball, however, will
be the chief entertainment of the
evening. I visited the ball room
this morning, and havo never be
held a more animated scene, A
longthe wide stretches of the great
gall were engaged groups of busy
hrtizans, carpenters, upholsterers,
gasfitters, decorators, etc. It re
minded me of the babel of the ear
ly days of the Centennial exposi
tion. But Cosmos is emerging from
Chaos. Much of the work of decor
ation is complete. The splendid
columns in the center of tho build
ing have been hung with muslin
and twined with garlands of smilax.
Shields, decoration, festoons and
variaus desigens hav been fixed in
place. The spaious rooms enter
ing the main hall on the first floor
have all been assigned to differ nt pur
poses. One is for the President and
liis friends, one for the Diplomatic
crops, one for the press, others for
committees. Still other rooms
will be used for cloak rooms,
supper rooms, etc. The
cloak and hat rooms are them
selves as large as ordinary ball
rooms. There will also be commo
dious toilet and retiring rooms. The
supper rooms will accomodate 800
hundred people at a time and it is
thought tncy will not be crowded.
A fire company will be placed at
each end of the hall, and a force of
police will he in the building. The
Chiefs of Police and of the Fire De.
partment will he in the galleries,
and will have electric bell comuni
cation with their forces. The series
of rooms fitted for the President’s
reception have been filled with
SSOOO worth of furniture. Presid
ent-elect Cleveland, President Ar
thur and Mr. Blaine will all be at
the irtaugural ball.
... A? .1 X TT- V • t
Vice President-elect Hendricks
arrived yesterday and was driven to
Willard’B hotel, where lie will reside
for the present. Mr. Cleveland is
not expected before Tuesday even
ing. He will go to the Arlington
hotel, which is in sight of and two
squares from the White House. On
Wedesday, at 10 o’clock, he will re
ceive a call from the President, who
will conduct him to the mansion
which is to be his residence for the
next four years. Then, after a light
luncheon, they will proceed in the
centre of the procession to the Capi
tol, where president-elect Cleveland
will take the oath of office, and de
liver his inaugural address.
