“Oue Thousand a Year.”
LETTER FROM A SPIRITED AND SENSIBLE GIRL.
And yon want me to tell you whether I
can live on one thousand dollars a year, or
rather—as I have not been asked to do so—
whether a girl can marry and live on it ? I
will be honest with yon, as yon wish this
matter lor publication, and itata that any
woman, no matter bow high her position or
how elegant her tastes, can live comfortably
and happily on that aiuoant, provided that
she gets the right man for a husband, and
that they both truly love each other after
marriage. You see I have einph.udz.-d some
of my words, and in them you will find the
secret of the whole afl'-ir.
Although young in years (pardon my not
telling you the exact figures—a woman’s
privilege, you know ) I have studied human
nature enough, and the lives of young mar
ried couples sufficiently, to feel sure that
over one halt of those that marry are disap
pointed in each other afterward-. ’Phi* is a
most unfortunate state of aflairs, but both
are equally to blame—the one for not show
ing a true nature, the other for not fully
understanding it, before m irriage. Women,
I um sorry to say, are more given to deceit
before marriage than men, and brutal treat
ment is frequently their reward. If girls
were only more natural, there would be less
trouble, but women daily mtrry who are
only dressmaker’s models, and. even worse—
invalids, who tiring to their husbands all the
rares and troubles of perpetual sickness, to
add to their business aoxieties.
What wan can respect, much less love, a
woman who is a constant burden to him,
sud who knowingly deceived him at the
altar? Before women enter the marriage
stale they should be sure that their health is
such that it will stand the trials that are to
follow. Men rarely deceive in this respect.
They sometimes deceive a woman in regard
to their financial ability to support her
handsomely, and this issdownrlght wicked,
for it may take a girl away from a home of
comfort and luxury to live io a garret. Such
marriages engender bitteruess and ultimate
divorce or worse.
For that reason a man who tells a woman
honestly how much he can afford to give
her, without building “castles in the air,"
which fade before the honeymoon, ought to
receive her respect and confidence, for these
are grand foundations to build on. I con
tend that no happy condition of married life
can exist without them. And yet how many
girls marry every week without knowing
anything about their husbands, save tbit he
is ‘splendid,’’ und ‘ so handsome," and wake
to fiod that what they need is Dot a “pretty
boy with a dainty moustache,” bat a man—
a solid creation of flesh and blood, with an
honest heart, a clear head, and willing hands
to labor for one he loves That is my idea
of a husband.
Such a man will never wilfully deceive a
woman, never be guilty of the meannesses
that corrupt so many men’s natures. It
would be paradise to live with such a man
on one thousand dollars a year, to existing
with another on ten times that amount. This
may read like romance, but it is stern reality
If girls will only take the trouble to investi
gate for themselves, they will see that money
does not always bring happiness with it
‘ Happiness, our being, end and aim,” as
Pope po truth f ul!y expressed it, for what is
the world to a woman if her husband is not
her lover, her friend, her coansellor, her rells
ance in the hour of troubfp, the sharer of her
joy* when her anxieties are o’er.
Bat I am growiog eloquent over the good
husband ; let os look on the opposite pic
ture. Of all thing-* most likely to rum a
woman’s life, a drinkmg husband is the
worst. I t.tn not gjiing into a dissertation on
thisj&iibi<a-i h ■ ■ "
HAMPTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, IBSO.
er marry a man who drinks, ff you value
your happiness ” A very dear friend of
min" came to me once and said : “What do
you think ? I smelt liquor on Charley when
I kissed him !” I immediately advised ber
not to marry him, for I argued, if a man
will not respect a woman enough to abstain
while eneaged, he will not do so after mar
riage. And so it proved. She thought she
couldn’t do without him, and so they mar
ried, and moved into an elegant mansion.
He was rich ; bui how long did it last ?
Just three years. And now she is a widow,
with a sickly child, and living on her pa
rents!
Girls, don’t be afraid to test your lovers.
II they are true and manly; they will come
out “like refined gold.” Get his opinion on
ail the subjects that concern your mariiod
happiness. Don’t trust to his doing ns you
wi-h alter marriage ; you had better find out
whether his likes and dislikes suit you be
forehand. for married life is made up of mu
tual concessions, and you will have to
do your share of giving way, which, for one
that truly loves you, must be, indeed, a pleas*
tire Another tiling, if you don’t like tobac
co, never marry a mao who smokes or chews,
for I know a woman whose husband made
her life a terror to her by these disgusting
practices.
I doa't intend giving you any figures
about this housekeeping business, tor peo
ple’s tastes d'fl r. Some would be content
to live in a twelve dollar house and keep a
splendid table ; others would prefer a twenty
dollar house and tire on plainer food.
There IS no Double about a man and wife
living comfortably on one thousand dollars
a year, if the wile has any practical sense.
A 100 lor a sloven can’t do it. “How is
a mm going to find such a woman out ?” I
hear some readers exclaim. “Very easily.”
The 100 l will betray herself by her nonsensi
cal replies to any sensible questions on this
subject that you may ask her, and toe slo
ven will exhibit her imperfections In her
toilet. A sloven’s hair is never tidy or well
combed. Neither wtil site brush her teeth
carefully. If she is too laay to do thc*p, her
habits generally will be si ithfui, tor if that
which every body can see is neglected, what
can we expect of that which is hidden? An
untidy girl generally has dirty ears. If she
reads this she will wash them, for a week—
perhaps! A cleanly man will notice these
things without being told, but a slovenly
woman will not ; so, a 9 the bible says, “Let
him who is filthy, befilthy stilt,” ami so will
his wife, and bis children,and their children.
Good bye, Mr. Editor, and don’t consider
that I have tukeu up too much space. This
subject is a glorious one, for it concerns the
future welfare and happiness of the whole
world.
Grant and Lee.
“On the night before Lee’s surrender,”
said General Grant, “I had a wretched head
ache—headaches to which I have been sub
ject—nervous prostrations, intense personal
suffering. But, suffer or not, I bad to keep
moving. I saw clearly, especially after
Sheridan bad cut off to escape to Dauville,
that l.ee must surrender or break and run
into the mountain*—break io all directions
and leave us a dozen guerilla bauds to fight.
Theohj.-ct of my campaign was not Rich
mond, not the defeat of Lee in actual fight,
but to remove him aud his army out of the
contest, and, if possible, to have him u«<! his
influence in inducing the snrreti ler of John
ston and the other insolated srmies. You
see, the war was an enorm >us strain upon
the country. Rich as we are, Ido not see
how we could have endured it another year,
even from a financial point of view.
“So with these views I wrote Lee, and
opened the correspondence with wbiob the
world is famtlliar. Lee does not appear well
in that correspondence—not nearly so well
as be did in our subsequent interviews, where
his whole be aring was that of a patriof and
gallant soldier, for the wel
fare of his army and his State. 1 received
word that Lee would meet rne at a point
within'our line.s neat Sheridan's headquar
ters. I had to ride quite a distance through
a muddy country. 1 remember now that 1
was concerned about my personal appear
ance. I had an old suit on, with my sword,
and without any distinguishing mark of rank
except the shoulder-straps of a Lieutenant
general, on a woolen blouse. I was splashed
with mud in my long ride. I was afraid
Lee might think I meant to show him stud
ied discourtesy |by so coming—at least, I
thought so. But I had no other clothes
within reach, as Lee’s letter found me away
from my base of supplies. I kept on riding
until I met Sheri lan. The General, who
was one of the heroes of the campiign, and
whose pursuit of Lee was perfect in its gen
eralship and energy, told me where to find
Lee I remember that Sheridan was iinpa-
c-ous about the whole business ; tonred there
might he a plan to escape ; that he hud lu'e
at his (eet, and wanted to end the business
by going in anil forcing an absolute surren
der. In fact he had his troops ready for such
an assault when Lee’s white Hag cunv‘ with
in his line.
“I went up to the house where Lee wns
waiting. I found him in a fine,new, splen
did uniform, which only recalled my anxiety
az to my own clothes while on my way to
meet him. I expressed my regret that I was
compelled to meet him in so unceremonious
a manner, and be replied that the only suit
he hud available was one which had been
sent him by some admirers in Baltimore, and
which he then wore for (he first time. We
spoke of old friends in the nrmv. I remem
ber<d h iving seen Lee in M xieo. He was
so much higher in rank than myself at the
time that I supposed he had no recollection
of mo. But he sa-id be remembered me very
well. We talked of old times and exchang
ed inquiries about friends L°e then broach
ed the subject of meeting. I told him my
terms, and Lee listening attentively, asked
me to write them down. I took out my‘man
ifold’ order-book and pencil, and wrote them
down. General put on his glasses and
read ib< m over. The condition gave the of
ficers their side arms, private horses and
personal baggage I said to Lee that I hop
ed and believed this would be the close of
the war ; that it was moat important that
the men should go home and go to work,
and the Government would not throw any
obstacle* in the way. Lee soowered that it
would have a most happy effect, and except
ed the terms. I bunded over iny penciled
memorandum to au aide to put into ink|and
we resumed onr conversation about old times
and friends in the armies.
•'Various officers came in—Longstreet,
Gordon, Picket, from the South ; Sheridan
Ord, and others from our s'de. Some were
old frieods—Longstreet and myself, for in
stance—and we bad a general talk. Ijce, no
doubt, expected me to ask for hie sword, but
I did not want his sword. It would only,’’
said the General, smiling, ‘have gone to the
P lent Office to be worshipped by the
Washington rebels.”
There was a pause, when General Lee
said that most of the animals in his cavalry
and artillery were owned by the privates,
and he would like to know, under the terms,
whether they would be regarded as private
property or the property of the Gov
ernment 1 said under the terms of the sur
render they belonged to the Government.
General Lee read over the letter and said
that wa9 so. I then said to the General
that I believed and hoped this was the last
bit tie of the war ; that 1 saw thej wisdom of
these men getting home and to work as soon
as possible, and that I wonld give orders to
allow any soldier claiming a horse or mule
to take it, General L-e showed 9ome emo
tion at this—a feeling which I also shared—
and suid it would have a most happy effect.
The interview ended, and I gave orders for
rationing his troops. The next day I met
Lee on horseback, ami wo lmd a long talk.
In that conversation [ urged upon Lee the
wisdom of ending the war by the surrender
of the other armic3. I askH him to use bis
influence wiih the people of the South —an
influence that was supreme—to bring the
war to an end General Lee said that his
campaign in Virginia was the last organ
ized resistance which the South was oapnble
of making—that I might have to march a
good deal and encounter isolated oommands
here and there, but there was no longer any
army which could make a stand. I told
L?e that this fact only made the responsibil
ity greater, and any further war wonld be a
crime. I asked him to go among the South
ern people and use his influence to have all
men under arms surrender on the same terms
given to the army of Northern Virginia.
He replied that he could not do so without
consultation with President Divis. I was
sorry. I saw that the Confederacy had gone
beyond the reach of President Davis, and
tbit there was nothing that could he done
except what Lre could do to benefit the
Southern poople. I was anxious to get them
home and have our armies go to their homes
and 6 Ids. But Lee would not move with
out Davis, and, as a matter of fact, at that
time, or soon after, Davis was a fugitive iD
the woods.
“ My anxiety,” said the General.“for some
time before Richmond fell was lest Lee
shou'd abandon it. My pursuit of L»e was
hazardous. I was in a position ot extreme
difficulty. Too see l was marching away
from my supplies, while Lee was falling back
on bis supplies. If Lee had continued his
fight another day I should have had to aban
don the pursuit, fall back to Danville, build
the railroad and feed mj army. So (ar as
supplies were concerned, I was almost at
my lust gasp when the surrender took place.

Twain and Dan De Quille.
It was nearly twenty years ago when Din
De Quille and Murk Twain attempted to
start a paper in Mendocino eotin'y. They
took the ty[ic and material of their recently
dvfunct newspaper establishment in Sun
Francisco, and loading the stuff on a big
wagon, struck out into tho country to re
trieve their fortunes. They packed tho type
just as tl stood in the lorms. tied np the niti
des with stout cords by a process well
known to printers, and packing them closely
in boxes, vowed to establish a newspaper
somewhere which would he the lending ex
ponent of politics ami history 'or the Pacific
Coast. Had not an unfortunate circum
stance taken place it is quite evident that
the same newspaper which they contemplated
founding would have been alive to day.
Their journey over the mountains was utterly
uneventful until they ictched Mimpmn's Mia
tion, a spot w* II known to travelers on that
route Here they met a party of emigrants
making for Lower California, and the latter
bad with them a small mountain howitzer
whieli they had brought with them across
the plains.
Twain took a groat fancy to this gun, and
offered SSO for it with two kegs of powder
thrown in. The emigrants were glad enough
to part with it, as they concluded the time
for its use hnd passed. Dan thought the
purchase of the artillery and* military sup
piles was a reckless piece of extravagance,'
and said as much, bat Twain replied :
“When we start our paper we must fire a
salute A newspaper office with artillery
has a big bulge on the business. No well
regulated office in California should be wi lt
out a howitzer. If a man comes in for a
retraction we can blow him into the next
country. The howitzer goes."
This silenced the argum -nt, nnd the next
day the two journalists took the road with
their printing outfit und artillery.
On the next night they cam|ted in a
mountain ravine fifteen miles from Simp
son’s, and after building the ustis! camp fire
fell asleep. About 11 o’clock the bones
awakened litem by prancing about, and the
two journalists Were led to the conclusion
that nothing less than a party of Indians
were making arrangements for a night
attack. In the clear moonlight they could
be distinguished about half a mile away at
the foot of the ravine. The idea of encoun
tering Indians had never entered the heads
of the two fortune seekers, and they hod no
arms. Suddenly Twain brightened up, re
marking :
“The howitzer !’’
“We’ve got nothing but powtler,” said
Dan.
“Well, powder’ll scare ’em, and we’ll load
her np.”
The piece was immediately loaded with a
good big ch irge, and the two men felt quite
certain that the Indians, hearing the roar of
the son, would beat an unconditional retreat
The piece was hardly loaded ami placed in
position when about fifty- of the redskins
came charging up the ravine.
Twain seized a brand from the campfire
and was about to lay it oo the tonoh hole,
when Dun yelled, “Hold O',” as he rammed
something Into tlie mouth of the piece, am)
remarked :
‘ Turn *er loose.*
The roar of the howitzer eohoed through
the lonely forests, and the savages, with
frantic oriea of paid, reeled down the ravine
in wild oonlosion.
‘ What in the h—II did yoo pot in V' asked
Mark.
“A column of solid nonpareil and a eoaplo
of sticks of yonr spring poetry.**
“ The poetry did the business, Dan. Get
one of your geological articles ready for the
next obarge, and I gnrss 111 let tbe red
devils oat for tho present campaign.”
'Tbe savages again advanced. Mark at
tended to the powder and Dan sorted tbe
shot, so to speak.
“Jeemcs Pipes song, ‘My Monntain
Home.’ ”
“Goo 1 for three Indians ; sock'er in.”
“An acrostic by John R. Ride io long
primer ”
“It’ll paralyze ’em.”
“Frank Pixley on the Constitution, half a
column of leaded brevier.”
“If it hits ’em lire day is w >n.”
“Your leader on Law and Order.”
“Save it as a last resort.”
Dun polled the type out of the boxes and
staffed column after column in the howitzer’s
month as tbe savages came charging on.
Another round from the gun and the red
skins rolled over and over eucb oiber like
boulders swept away by a mountain cloud
burst. Mark, in an ecstaoy of delight, polled
so American flag out of bit effects, nailed it
to tbe tail-board of the wagon, and was
übont to make a speech, when tbe dusky
The piece was again loaded, pud this time
with a double charge. Mark’s leader on
“Lvw and Order,” the puff of an auction
house bv Fred Met’relish (as a “sickener,”
Dan said.) Frank Gross’ verses on “The
Relic! Yvli,” an agricuhural article by Ham
S-'baugh. showing the chemical properties of
corn juice as an educational lever, a maiden
poetical effort of Olive Harper, and some
verses by Col. Cremeny and Frank Sonic
completed the load.
“That poetry, reaching ’em firsts will throw
’em Into confusion, and my editorial, coming
ii|>on the heels of the -**st. will result in a
lasting demoralization It will be lik** the
last cavalry charge of the French at the
battle of Ansterlitz ”
For tho third and Inst time the faithful
howitzer belched its typographical compli
ments to the advancing foe. The havoc was
terrihlo. There was a wild yell from a score
of hi. Vage throats, and then tho low groans
of the dying floated up the ravine on the
gentle wind. The two men walked over the
field of slaughter and counted fifty-six
aboriginals Iving in heaps. The bodies were,
hotribly mutilated with r.onpnreil, long
prim.-r, two line pica, bourgeois, “eapH,”
ntisere dashes and unsorted pi.
•M, leader cooked that man's goose,”
said Murk, pointing to a savage with his
bowels hanging over the litnb of a cedar.
“My geological article did the business for
him.” rejoined Dan, nodding carelessly to an
Indian whose head was lying twenty yards
away.
“The pen is mightier than tho sword.”
“You bet. Hurrah for Faust and Go ten -
berg.”
“Is there any type IcftT”
“Not a pound.”
Ten days later the two journalistic tramps
reached Virginia City, weary, discouraged
and footsore, ami secured a place on the
Enterprise.
