An Old Letter.
Treasurer McKibbeu showed us an
■ iiteilisting letter last week, written to
to the late David Knott from Mobile
to 184:1, from which we take the priv
ilege of making tt few extracts. It was
. jku.-fl and sealed in true colonial style
and showed that human nature, as well
is poliiics and business, were about the
same at 'hat period as that of the up
to date standard —in fact, it is safe to
say human nature never changes.
Alter some friendly preliminaries,
the writer says :
‘•Oar election is just over, and tht
Locals have beaten us badly. That is,
they have elected in th : s county two
members of the legislature, their sheriff
and tax collector, while we have elect
ted only two members of the legislature
when we ought to have elected our
whole ticket. And besides they came
within less than a hundred votes of
el-ctiug the member of congress from
this district, where we have a majority
oi about 100'J. The Whigs are cer
taiuly the worst party that ever existed
and I have a strong notion of desert
ing them altogether—and I will it
they don’t do better. They have no
management about them, in fact they
are a set oi fools, and ‘‘pile up the pa
triotism a little too tnouutaiuous” ever
.0 keep ahead loug after they get there.
I 'tvill Liang ou to them until 1844, and
then if they aou’t elect ILtnvy of tin
W esc I shall consider the propriety ol
packing up and quitting-- Times in
Mobile were never duller than at pres
eut, and if it were not for the elections
I don’t know what wo should do. I
think Old North Carolina will come
cut right at all events, and we have
rumors of whig gains in Tennessee.
Go it, Whigs—now’s your time—if
y.i'u dou-’t sb'ne now you may as well
give it up, etc , etc
“Iu answer to your inquiries, I can
not ttive you any satisfactory answer.
Since the crash of 1837 there has an
excess of youug men iu search of em
ployment. Last wiuteT my brother
remained here three months and
finally had to accept a situation in the
interior. Only a few moments since,
a voting man well known here, and
veiy competent, applied to me to use
mv influence with my employer if he
should be in need of additional assist
ance uext winter. Oue cause of the
great difficulty of obtaining situations
here is that a number of young men
come out annually from the North who
engage at low wages the first season,
but finding it a had business attempt
to raise on their wages, and are thrown
cut of employment and their places are
filled by others like themselves, ignorant
of the expense of living here. Salaries
range from SSO to $125 per month, out
of which board has to be paid,
which is from $25 to S4O per month.
Business continues from about lbt Nov.
to the Ist June, consequently a great
many young men are doing nothing for
live or six months of the year.
“As to health Mobile is about on the
! same footing as Savannah and Charles
ton, excepting when we have yellow
fever, which a vet ages about, two sum
mers itt every five—then it is safest to
he away. So far it is healthy this
year, but the yellow fever is becoming
epidemic in New Orleans, aud we are
anticipating a visit from ourselves,
but I hope without just cause for it.
IJut as the time you mention is a
long way off i shall probably be better
able to give you satisfactory informa
tion nest summer than now. No en
| gageTU at at so distant a day as a year
oil is scarcely ever made here. We
I have a fluctuating population, a fluct
uating trade, aud consequently our
biuineos firms undergo a change al
most every year. There are perhaps
! not a dozen busness houses that have
not uudergone some change within
three years. Ido not think I know
a dozen large houses that retain the
’ came designation which they bore when
1 cam? to Mobile. Mo6t of those then
1 here have either failed, removed,
changed hands, or taken new partners.
A number discontinue every year and
i others succeed them. Th.' house 1 am
in is one of the oldest here, but the
b isinrts belongs to a man who b< ught
out the former owners about a year ago.
Pardon the length of this letter aud
I accept the best wishes of your friend.

The Joys of Labor.
By nature as well as training man is
a creature of action. Every instant
impels the wall-regula'ed man to per
form scme task. There is nothiug so
irksome to the healthy miud as com
pulsory idleness. The honest toil is
as play compared with absolute idle
ueas There is a joy attached to bou
ts t labor that thrills the soul of man
kind.
Any task is rendered easier if the
wink is congenial. It is hard for most
people to adapt themselves to their
circumstances, but the disagreeableness
of any t;ask is lightened if one becomes
interested iu its accomplishment. And
th ire is nothing to compare with the
superb satisfaction one feels when the
task is well done.
If the person be in love with the
work it is the supreme happiness to be
engaged in its performance. Take the
work of a newspaper man. There is
uo toil iu the category of labor that
has more drudgery about it than jour
nalism. A man is tied down to his
task every day and hour of his life.
1 he active newspaper man is never off
duty.
Each morning he must rise and go
about the same old round of duties,
lie must assume the same interminable
responsibilities. lie must pit his judge
ment against the discrimination of
thousands of others, lie must take
all sorts of risks, engage iu all sorts of
daring ventures. There is uo real rest
for his spirit.
And yet, he is never so happy as
when iu the midst of the toil and tur
ui-.il of his little kingdom. Opposi
tion strengthens him, honest difference
of opinion bioadms his perceptions,
and adverse criticism deepens his im
pressions and gives greater scope to
his observations on men and things and
all the exigencies of existence.
Some newspaper men never get
above the little, the contemptible mean
nesses, dirty fliugs and disgusting driv
el of pitiable jealousies, but then they
are outside the pale of the profession.
The real worker who is seeking to up
build his own fortunes and add to the
common stock of good iu the world, is
a tireless worker, happy iu the con
sciousness of work well done.
Other professions are of the same
order. Men in love with their work
labor to some purpose, and die iu
peace and contentment. The idle man
is either vicious or morbid. If viciouß
he is uuphapy over the consequence
of his evil deeds.
There is plenty of joy in honest la
bor, and there is no stute of happiness
so complete in this world as to have
plenty of woik to do, and the will to
do it right.— Rome Tribune.

VV. 11. Wilder, Mayor of Albany,
Ga., says he has suffered with Rheuma
tism for fifteen years, and in that time
he tried all the so called specifics, but
to uo purpose. His grandson, who
was on the B. & W. Railroad, finally
got him a bottle of P. P. P. The first
bottle of P, P. P. showed its remarka
ble effects, ami after using a short time
the rheumatism disappeared, and he
writes lie feels like a new man, and
takes pleasure in recommending it to
rheumatism sufferers.
A South Carolina judge had the uu
heiuu of experience of beiug indicted

friends succeeded in sobering him up
so that on the 1, ext day he could go on

journed court and continued his spree.
This plan was carried on for three days
aud the graud jury brought in an in
dictnent for drunkenness, the fact that

Old Southerly Ofautlons.
The old mansions n 'Richmond, Char
leston, Savannah' Montgomery, Mo
bile and New Orleans havo an air of i
distinction about them which the new
■•r architecture can never acquire.
They were built by men who desired
to live in comfort sud'to entertain theit
friends in an open handed way, bui
who did uot find it necessary to attract
attention and to advertise their wealth
anti social position. The exteriors are
still massive and stately, with their un
broken rectangular sides, their dorie
columns and colonial porches; and the
interiors are unrevaled for comfort ami
convenience of home life and social eu
tertainment. With these models ol
classic simplicity in town and couuty,
it is to be regretted that the new houses
on fashionable driveways and streets are
not designed by architacts content to
follow the old lines. The colonial arch
itecture was not without its effects up
on the character and tastes of the peo
pie who lived in the houses. It taught
them to be simple in tfojjir social pleas
ures, to be natural and. unaffected in
manner, and to avoid meretricious dis
play of wealth and (Jignity. There
has been a reversion to) colonial lines
in Northern houses. tFerhaps there
will be a similar movement in the
direction to purer taste lutd more re
fined feeliug iu towns.
There are many fina things to be
said about the these Southern houses,
but the choicest tribute must be reserv
ed for the lovely old ladies who aie to
be found in most of them. Tha
young ladies and the middle-agod wives
and mothers are charming, too, with
their sensitive, high-bred faces and
their soft melodious voices; hut the old
ladies are exceptionally well preserved
in figure and feature, and delightful in
conversation. Montaigne said of Cic
ero’s “De Sena cute,” “it gives one a
good appetite for growing old,” and
the same impression is produced by the
cheerful, genial, yet calm' and serious
talk of the best representatives of the
passing generation of Soitjieru women.
They do not affect to do young, yei.
have not lost their animation of man
ner nor their interest iu life. Tbt-y
are entertaining, womanly and bright,
and quick as their granddaughters to
pieceive a good point in a story, and
fine as choice old luce in the thread
and texture of their homely simplicity
and cheerfuluess. There are good
portraits of famous ancestors in some
of the old houses, but. there are no Init
.er studies of the lights and shades of
advancing age and of the a mpensa
tions attending increasing infirmity in
the evening of life than are to ba found
in the charming old ladies of the Car
olinas, Georgia and Tennessee.—New
York Tribune.

• “lip Salt Kiver.”
‘‘Hound for Salt Kiver” is a phrase
heard every day. Aspirants for polit
ical honors seldom run very long with
out knowing how it feels to be saluted
with the words. Everybody know
what it means. Not so many, howev
r, urn so well informed as to when aue
where the expression originated.
Away back in ilie early ’4os an old
office !i ni who lived in Kike county.
Missouri, about tho mouth of Salt Iliv
or, ran for the Legislature, and was
defeated. He moved into tho next
couuty further up the river, where he
again tried to persuade the people to
elect him to the Legislature. Again
he was defeated. Nothing daunted, he
moved further up the river and once
more announced himself as a candidate
for the Legislature Once more his
constituents started him on his voyage
further up the river in search of politi
cal elevation. Many years afterwards,
when people made inquiries about the
old office seeker, the answer would in
variably be: "lie is still moviug up
Salt lliver and running for the Legis
latife.”
There am a few old people still liv
ing about Floiida, Mo , who knew the
man whofe constant defeat has giveu
birth to a phrase that will live longer
than any work ever performed by a
member of the Missouri Legislature.
His name has escaped political history.

A Noble Kx-Confederato.
I would be the last inati in the world
to make fan at the expense of any
good man. The other day in this col
umn a joke was published about
Charles Broadway Rouss, the big no
tions man. Since then I have learned
that ho has become ulmost totally
blind, fact brought to my attention hy
Col. Dickenson, commander of the
Confederate veteran camp in this city.
Mr. Rouss has beeu one of the most
liberal Southerners in the city of New
Y ork. He will expend at least $1,000,-
000 ou the depository for the Confed
erate relies, in construction and endow
ment. Last year he gave away in
charity alone over $05,000 There
never was a worthy appeal made to
him that he did uot respond to it in
haudsome style. II« has always said
to his old friend, Col. Dickenson, “If
there is any old C’oufed. around here
suffering, tell mo how much you want.
Don’t say anything about me, hut draw
ou me for the cash.” Mr. Lotus conies
from Winchester, Va , ami was in the
same company as the English professor
and Postmaster-General William L.
Wilson. The Confederate veteran
camp on Sunday night passed resolu
tions of coudolence and sympathy.
Mr. Rouss, who has been tireless and
indefatigable for twenty years, is to
day so blind that he connot recognize
his own dearest friends. He has to b«
led about. But he goes to business
every day ami never forgets to ask :
“Does anybody ueed anythiag this
moruing ? Are there any letters from
tin# old veterans who fought for the
South ?”—New Y’ork Press.

Effect of Beecher’s Sermon.
I met at the Normandie the other
day one of the salt of the earth. .H*
hails from Tennessee, and before the
war was the largest slave-owner in the
State. Talking about the old days, he
mentioned the following incident :
“Beecher’s sermons were read in
nearly all the negro churches, aud com
mented on and elucidated by the
preachers. One Sunday afternoon the
preacher at our church came over to
the house to consult with me about the
sermou of the morning, which he said
he had read to his congregation with
out having first digested it himself, aud
he feared he had done great damage
thoreby. He pointed out a part of the
sermon where Mr. Beecher said he did
not believe there was a hell for the
punishment of the wicked, but did be
lieve in a heaven for the good.
“Is it sho dat Misser Beecher ho say
dat ?” queried the preacher. “It is
sho nuff ? I)e papers ain’ stuck at dat
fur fun is dev ? Did Misser Beecher
say dar aiu’ no hell fur de wicked ?”
I assured him that Mr. Beecher had
certainly made that statement.
“Deu, whut l’s gwine ter say is dis,
dat yo’d better tell Misser Beecher ter
quit sending such serraans roun’ among
de niggers. Masser, it aiu’ do love ob
heaven dat keeps good niggers ont’n
yo chicken coop at night, but de fear
ob hell. I’sgot to go roun’ an’ conut’ac
de impression ob dat sormoti I done
read dis raornin’ Ef I don’ dey will
bo Bore scaceMss ob poultry in dis na
borhood to night den dey ober wuz be
fore sinco las’ Chris'mas. f’s gwiue
ter be mighty ’tic’lar bout dera sermons
of de Keh rend Misser Beecher after
dis.”—New York Post.
A “new woman” i| one who wants
to be a man, but can’t, for several good
reasons She is a castle builder with
mighty poor material. She is a non
entity as a woman aud a humbug as a
man. Shu is an idealist with hor face
turned downward. She is an enthusi
ast upon whose forehead fate was writ
ten disappointment. She is a creature
that wears loose knee pants She is
an evanescent blossom that will soon
fade and the best of all is that she does
not have her origin south of Mason
aud Dixon’s line.—Richland Paper.
A fashion journal announces that
some of the new crepons show change
able effets Just so. They run up
agaiust a nice, fat pocket book and it’s
a case of now you see it and now you
don’t.
It is altogether probable that those
wivr > who are giveu to complaining
that their husbauds used to bring them
candy every time they came befoie
marriage never stop to reflect that the
candy came cheaper than the meat and
potatoes they bring under the changed
condition of things.
At Moultrie, in Colquitt couuty, a
short time ago, a church fair was held
for the purpose of paying off a church
debt. At this fair all the pretty girls,
arrayed in their Sunday best sold kisses
to the boys at ten cents a kiss. An ex
change says that the consequence was
tbat“the church debt was paid off in
full, a nice surplus was left in the treas
ury and the youug men of Moultrie
are bankrupt.”
Now is the time of the year when
the man who kicked at the weather
wlieo the snow was on the ground
amuses himself by perspiring—and
j thinking what a fool he was then.
The man who can work and not
| worry, rest and not rust, is not apt to
be tu object of interest to au under
-1 taker.
