Bome few years ago” the square Just west of the White House con. tained many old-fashed and histo. ric ‘buildings, prominent among whieh “stood the 01l War and vNa—vy departments. These old de partmental buildings wero points of much interest to the yisitor; they were exeellent examples “of the Americau architecture of near. l‘)‘ & century ago, and presented a striking eontrast. to the nassive marble buildings of ‘the Govesw. ment of to-déy. They were curi ous-old struetures, of almost eor responding size and plan. Their walls were of plain brick, painted a dil)% drab; on the interior they were dark and dusty, while brick floors added to the general rustici ty. One by oné the=s old buiid ings have given way to the steady march of the new State, War, and Navy Department building to wards completion. The old War Department was demolished about four years ago; only ‘the old N avy buildings now remains. But its destructiion will begingon the eighteenth of mnext month. In many respects this is the most im portant and interesting old build mg of them all. Many associa tions of the early days of the Government attach to the place. It was the' first Departmoental building construeted by the Gov ermment. Its two lower stories were built in 1798, and at that time there was enclosed within the walls four departments of the young government. State, Treas ury, War, and Navy. It 'will be bat a few years before all the old historie land marks of the Capitol will have passed away to ke room for the new city. The new State, War, and Navy Depariment, which is built of granife and is to oceapy the entire square, will be the largdst and handsorwest departmental build ing. .It aiveady forms an impos. ing flank® to the left side of the White House, sand will greatiy en hance that exceutive ceutre of tire city. This executive section com prises three squares whieh bar Pennsylvania Avenue and cauvce it to describe an angle aronnd the nestof Government buildings, *ln the central square is situated the White }House, surroundsd by a beautiful park with flowers, foun tains and railings. -At the right of this park is the Treasury, while on the sq ere at the leftis being reared the new structure. Af night especially this seetion pre sents an atiractive scene. From the Treasury depends a belt of electrie lights, and the White House is radiant with the glare of the many gus lamps upon its port icos and about the grounds. The north, south, and east wings of the new building have already been built and _the debris of the old Navy Department. will be eleared away in time to permit the com meneement of work upon its west wings by the first of April. The conventional massive pillars and columns of thegpresent' depart ments will be missed from the new building: It ‘is *of modern architécture, and illustrates the departure which has been made by the Government of late years in its structures. The new Pen sion building, the National Muse um, the Bureaun of ingraving and Printing, and the Agricultural Department are all brick.strac tures. They are also examples of this architectural department, and afford a pleasing change from the conventional marble of the Interi or Department, the Post-oflice Department, and the Capitol. 'Lhe showering of reports from committees proves that Congress is busily at work, although the routine proceedings on the floors of the two houses are as yet of no particular intereset. A large part of the general legislation which will be considered at this session is already reported or in a very forward state in committee. DBut the most important bills have yet to come in. The appropriations and the ways and means <o mmit tees are both of them silent as vet, and ths banking and curren ;.\. cnmmifl-&‘(" has made no slgn, Two tariff bills are snon to be sub mitted to the committee on ways and means. One by its ehairman provides for a horizontal .r.~-'l'.‘:o— of ®enty per centum in exis ting rates; the .other, by Me. He witt, is based on a comparison of existing rates and the various ta ib]u:; that have been in usé of pro posed for adoption by the govern ‘ment. . : F In the House, the heet part of the week was consumad by the lthree hundred amiable gentlemen who don’t know muel about the war, but who insist on \Vl’ilt"}i‘!l that perennial theme- th:‘x Fitz ‘John Porter bill. When this bill gots to the President r]}xs soul will be sorely tried. With Senator Logan at one ear and Genera] Grant at the other, he may well ging with Captain Macheath: SHow happy could Ibe with lai‘thel_', : Were t'other degr charmer away.™ * The Senate had the courage to adopt a resolution providing that evéry Senator not the Chairman of a committee may employ a clevk or private secretary at a per diem of six dollars, Within the pagt yesr we have handled about twenty g()ss Swift’s Specific. It is. one of the most popular remedies we have in our house, sells rapidly, and gives gen eral satisfaction. In this section many plivsicians have endorsed it as a specific for the diseases it proposes to cure. . MaxsrieLp & Co., Druggists. Meansfield, Tenn. What a Connecticut Man Said. Constitution. A Mr. Batherson, who built the Hartford, Connecticut, egpitol, and is now building the Mutual Hife building 40 -New¥ork; said yesterday: ' . i “I was simply amazed at the richness, variety and extent of the Georgia marbles, granites and sandstones shown in the capitol competition. I own guarries all ver the country, and had expect ed to bid to furnish material, Lut when I saw what you had in State, I at once determined that you ought t use Georgia material to build with, and was therefore in elined to offer no material. 1 ask ed one of the marble men what hLe could furnish marble for to build the capitol. He. replied £2.50 a cubic foot. Now I will go into boud to farnish Italian marble dug in Italy aud bronght around the Mediterranean Sea and across the ocean to Savannah aud hauled to Atlante for less than £2.50 a cubic foot. The difMivulty is that you people, having rsver mined marble, don’t know how cheaply it can be furnished.” A Well Won Wager. Americus Recorder. - Astory of how a well known collector collected a bad debt was told us a few days ago that is too good to keep. The collector wag a guane agent, and hadesold & “‘hard case” a ton before he found that the buyer never paid for Juyno, and eould not bay a pound in Americus. .He toldl his friends that he would eol leet tha money, though, when they joked him and when aifon came in he bogan o dun the man. Af. ter he had presented the bill sev eral times the farmer told hirn he wonldn't pay it, aud he mxight as well burn up the account. This mede the agent augry, and pro ducing a roll of bills he offered to bet $5O that he would make him pay that account before he was done with him. The far: ;er smil ed, and.quictly put up the money, which was covered by the agent. in fifteen minutes after an attach ment was served on the stake holder for tlhre money, who deliv ered it over. The farmer was fu rious but at Inst acknowledged his defeat. The eollector ought to have a medel. The Co'd Saturday in 18335. The Hartwell Sun says: “Yes terday meeting Judge Nicholson we asked him haw thisweathercor responded with the eold Saturday in March in 1835. ‘We are haviug temperate weather compared to that famous day,” was the reply.— ‘I have a feeling remembrance of the weather, for I started on Fri-l day from Monroe and rode all that | day and the next, passing through Lexington. I was ordinarily elad and on horsebaek, and the wind blew a frigid gale. I was a stout voung man then and the exposure did not hurt me. It was, however, the eoidest weather I ever saw, or want to see again. The Oconee river at Athens was frozen hard enough to permit &he passage of wagons on the ice, and China trees were split open. The earth was as hard as rock.” ‘Did many persons freeze to death? we esk ed. ‘A great many. Travel was all done by stage-eoarch in those days, and several drivers were found dead on their seats. We sent a nogro only a mile anda half to mill, but when the team rexched home the driver was dead frozen as stiff as a poker. A great many farm animals perish ed, and the people stayed indoors by blazing fives. It is a marvel how well I stood my' ride, but I was young and active then and had great endurance.” What will Brown’s Iron Bittors' cure?

Brown Universi ty, at Dalton, began its session last week with nearly one hundred pu pl;’; ML Lt L o Dawson, Ga., Thurgday, February 7,0 1884 . . GOULD’S 'bLD x i s feik sstl R Another Exposition®Made by the ' Master "Mani;filatoi'. i Lt T 3% New Yorg, Jan. 25Tt was re.’ ported on Wall ‘stréet yesterday that Mr. Gouldgad again opened hisstrong box and exhubited the eecurities whick he owps, in order to convinee the querulous not ouly of his solveney, but elso of his strong position. On the streot it was generally believed, though it was commented on as rather curi ous, Mr. Gould shou}(?ltake any steps for the purpose of silencing traducers, Tt did'very'well in the spring of 18382 for Mr. Gould s exhibit to Frank Work, gussel Sage, Cyrus W. Field and other gentlemen securities, aggregating Wf Lis, waalth,. but the brokers thonght that to repeat this exhibition was a sign rather of weakness than - of strength. After diligent nquiry. the World reporter learned t!mtl the present exhibit was not a for mal one like the firat, made to a committee of pramifent operators, but an off-hand exhibit, made to one gentleman. The purpose, however, is the same as th~ first exhibit, to eonvinee the beholder of Mr. Gould's unassailable financial strength. | The gentleman, it was learned, who had the plessure of feastivg his eyes on Ir. Gould's vast stores of securitiecs was Mr. John T. Terry, the banker. Mr. Terry is a trustee of the E. D. Morgan estate, and is & director in the Western Union snd a personal friend of Mr. Gould. Xir. Terry had leit his office for his home on | the Hudson when the reporter cailed upon him, but an intimate business associate of his related the particulars gf the exhibit. | “Now, that so big a rumor should flow from so simple a trans action,” he said, “for your person al satisfaction and to. save you the | trouble of inquiring further, I will tell you the story. Mr. Terry on Fridny was shown a newspaper elipping stating that Mr. Gould | had besn obliged to negotiate a | loan for. two miilion pouni ster- | ling. . Being a friend of Mr. | (}«:\:H, and desirous of i:'fi‘:i\!’ll:,_:! such ass s~nee t» him as Lo was | in need of, Mr. Terry proceaded to | his oflice and showed him the slip | coutaining the aeeount. .of the re- | pottad roan. ‘Well, well,” ga ,ll dir. Gourld, ‘you are the sixth man | who has shown me thiat. I have negotiated mo suehi' loan, and have | no need of money.” : | “lam very glad to hear it,” ssid | Mr. Terry. 1 “I wish Mr. Terry,” eontinued | Mr. Gould, “that you would take | alook into my -vault; and see for | yourself that I am in no need of | pecuniary assistance just yel— | Here, Gaorge,” turning to his son, i George J. Goald, “put on yoar | . Ll ~ * . v com®, take Mr. Terry up to our| vault and let him examine our se- | carities.” | “Why Mr. Gould,” protested | Mr. Terry, “I don't ask or wish to | do that. I am entirely satisfiad.” | “But linsi4,” said Mr. Geald, | “I want you to see my vault any- % how.” =4 “By this time C(eorge had his coat and hat on, and was dragging Mr. Terry out of the offica. Gould has a large private vaull in the Mercantile Trast company, in the Yquijtable building, and there it was that Ceorgs conducted Mr. Terry. The vault was openad, and the boxes taken out, and the big packages of secarities exhibit ed to Mr. Terry's surprise and sat isfaetion.”" “What did Mr. Terry see,” ask ed the re orter of his inf{ormant.’ “QOh, of that of course,d am not at liberty to state, but the s curi ties he sow amounted to millions, millions, millions. I¢'was impos sible to aseertain the exact amouit ot securities exhibited to Mr. Terry, as that gentleman wasin honor bound not to mention the figures, but from the best sources attainable, it s aseertained that Mr. Gould owns and holds at least a million shares of varioas kinds of stocks and bonds.” Mr. (Qeorge Gould was seen last E evening at his father's house, I l must ask Mr. Gould,” was the rn»-t ply, and after an absence of Bev- | ersl minutes he returned suying: | “You had better see Mr.—— . 1| can’t find Mr. Gould, andof cousse | don’t like to talk about his busi- l ness.” - “May I deny this story on your aunthority?” asked the reporter. “Noj I will ueither deny or affirm it. 1 wont say anyéhing about it. (Go and see Mr.——" In obedience to this advieo the reporter called on the geutleman indicated, - who said: “I do not want my name used in connaxion with this matter, which has not the least significanca. ~ Mr. Gould wished me tosee his wault, which he considers a very fine one, so I went down to the Mutual Trust ‘company with Mr. George Gould. I di«i not go to’examing his seenri ‘ties at all, bat simply to see the ‘vault, which is indeed worth an inspeetion. It is at ‘least ten faot ‘squgre and quite a 5 high and bhas in it thifty openings for the de-; | posit of securities. siliait aYO) I anly examined two of these, tone of which contained Western [Union and the others Missouri Pacifiec. Tonly counted the seeur ities in one of thew, and 1 did | this out of . euriesity, because. it contained Western Union, The syndieate of liars, as theyhawe been aptly ealled, had industrious ly eirculated the rumor that M. Gould Mad parted with -all his. | Western Union stock, and so I had a little curiosity to see how much of it be had.” "% P “And how much did’ you find?” "~ ¢ fonnd 82,187,500 worth, with otfe -half share ever. In the othar opening, which contained Mis souri Pacifie, I only examined one package of the seeurities, but there were several otlier packages'in i s s R Rt by g “How muth™ s tHemsirthe package which you examined?” “I dun’t know exactly, but there ‘was gver. €10,000,0600 worth, and there WBre eecurities in all the othé®openings in the vanlt, as I hava said. Tulk about ‘breaking. JayGogld! They wight as well try to break the universe.” “Ts there no way of punishing these men thet spread these lying | repor@r i A | “There ought to be, and T think some of them will be punished.— | A Chicago paper the-other day had a_headline, ‘Jay Gould burst led.” If I was Mr. Gould T'd sue |that ‘paper for £1,000,000; and ;thvte are some of the New York ipapers that have had articles ‘about Mr. Gould clearly "libelous (if e chose to prosecute them.” 1 A broker-last evening said ths the following was a_fair approxi- | 'mation® of br. Gould’s present holdiig of stoeks: Western Un ion, 42,000 « hgres; Missouri Paeif e, 150,000 shares: Manhattan, 65,000 sheres; Wabash, 200,000 ' shares; inisesllanecns,” 155,000 shares. Tatal, 1,000,000 shares. ' Another rumor was eireulated yos terday by the syndicate which has been indastriously endeavoring of late to injure his erodit. This re port was to effeet that the Merean- | tile Trast company had been ob- ‘ Jdiged by the. bank examiner t) call i certuin loans made to Mr. Gonld, as he was borrowing too 'much money on Western Union, Mr. Fitzgarald, presideat of the Trush company, denied this, and | said the last lorn magde to Mr, i Gould or to W. . Conner & Co., | was paid o on Oetobar 26th last, ‘and that no money had been loan- | ‘ed to him since for the simple rea 'son Mr. Gould eould obtain all the ‘money he needed .elsewhere at lower rates than the Trust compa 'ny was in habil of extending. The announcement in’ - ‘yesterday’s World that Mr. Gould intended to proseeute under the law those who are circulating false rumors concerhing him. was the talk on the streef. The chiet difficalty in | ' executing the law passed two 'yvears ngo to punish those spread ing false reports for the purpose ‘of efloeling the price of stocks has bean that only those who had been | proven to have knowingly ecirea- | Hdated ramors could be eonvieted; ] vestarday a bill was introduced in -the state lezislature to strike out the word knowingly in the law.— This will make the statute capable of enforcement. © A prominent ‘baar operator said: - “Mr. Gould, iit seems to me, is exhibiting a censitiveness just now suggosiive ) of weaknass. Nobody eirculated | renorts that Mr. "Gould was fail- | ing, yet every day Mr. Gould | ecomes ont with a denial that he | has failed.

E i KET WARREN. S e Abandens the Thought of Suiecide and Goes to Picking o Chinguepins. ; I was pedantic, tallow-faced, gawk ish and just admitted to the bar, with no money, no disposition to | work and great amxiety to mamy a female who was able to farnish me a_ home and nourishment. Ina county, not to be named, a two weeks te‘;jm of Saperior Court was in session and 1 was there—caseless and briefless —but there. The landlord had a grown daughter and he had her thus: Her thinking faculiies were a very short distance above the dust from which she was formed, for she . ¥ ! she was long, and altogether as sym ‘wetrical as a saddle-blanket. ~ When she laaghed her face broke into fur rows which made it resemble a field that hag been plowed with a scuter end when she didu’s laugh she Jook ed yet more unprepessessing. I nat urally believed the old man expected to bave trouble in getting her off of his hands; I never liked to see an old wan have troubls and so I decid ed to marry Giney and thus become a free boarder at the tuverfi, and a .hnppy mau. . Sbe dida't have any leisure to sit down, and therfore my only chance 'was to court her on the wing and I could only do that eonstructively. I would appear at the table in my best trim and manners, look fondly when she handed me the batter-cakes and speak tenderly in asking for an other eup of coffee. g Oecasionally T wonld meet Ner, passing about, whirl off a reel or so ot siniles and a hink or two of words, But the smiles and words and glances had no effect : she just exact ly woalda't suspect my designs. 1 srew more and more in earnest, and positively, by the third day of the second weelk, Iwas as deeply in love with her as it was possible for me to be. I felt thatifinarried to her I could be coutented with any lot. ; With Ginoy by wmy side a hollow stwnp would be a palace avd branch ’ water and terrapins more palatable than the ucetar and ambrosia of the gods. Each duy, each hour, each woment wy love grew bigger; exjaa ed, magnified, multiplied, intensified. I ccased to attend the Court, where 1 had no business, and began to mope dejuctedly aboutthe hotel. Life be cate dutolerable, and to relieve my most painful suspense, I went to my room and wrote her the foliowing tter, every word of which came welling up from the depths of my, heart .
