In a garb that waa guiltless of colors,
Sbo stood, with a dull, list!sra air—
A creature of damps ana of colors,
Bat most undeniably fair.
The folds of her garment fell round her,
Revealing the carves . >f each limb;
Well-proportioned and graceful I found
her, \
Although quite alarmingly slim.
From the hem of her robe peeped one san
“High-art” was she down to her feet:
And, though I could not understand all
She said. I could see she was sweet.
Impressed by her limpness and languor,
I proffered a chair near at hand;
She looked back a mild sort of anger—
Posed anew, and continued to stand.
Some praises I next tried to mutter
Of the fan that she held to her face;
She said it was “utterly utter,”
And wared it with languishing grace.
I then, in a strain quite poetic,
Begged her gaze on the bow of the sky.
She looked—said ita curve was “aes
thetic,”
But “the tone was too dreadfully high."
Her lovely face, lit by the splendor
That glorified landscape and sea;
Woke thoughts that were daring as ten
der;
Did her thoughts, too, rest upon me ?
“Oh,tel! me,” I cried, growing bolder,
“Hare I in yonr musings a place ?”
“Well, ye*,” she said, over her shoulder—
“I was thinking of nothing in space.”

We quote as follows from the Savan
nah News:
Yesterday wuinssed another of those
terrible tragedies which have became
alarmingly frequent of late in Savannah.
It seems that two negro boys, one named
Daniel Brown, aged about seventeen, and
the other, supposed to be Robert Bug,
aged shout eighteen, both fruit peddlers,
engaged in an altercation over five cents,
which Bug, or whoever the younger boy
was, owed Brown. Yesterday afternoon,
about half-paat twelve, the two met near
the corner of Bay and Whittaker streets,
and Brown demanded bis money, at the
same time seizing from his head the hat
of the younger boy, and declaring that be
intended to keep It until the debt was
liquidated. The boy, supposed to be Bug,
endeavored to regain possession of bis hat,
and finally, when the two reached Bay
lane and Whitaker, be was seen to make
a sudden dart at Brown and immediately
rush off. Brown ran across the street end
fell. A very large crowd gathered around
him, and examination revealed the fact
that be had been fatally stabbed to tbe
heart with a pocket knife. Dr. T. J.
Carlton happened to be passing by and
was called over to see the wounded boy,
but be was past all surgery.
Mil John Lyons Seriously Hurt
BY a Desk.—Yesterday morning our
popular fellow citizen, Mr. John Lyons,
whilst walking in his yard, was suddenly
attacked by a deer which was kept on tbe
place, and had always been regarded as a
pet, which struck him violently with his
antlers, bruising his limbs and punctur
ing his hand—which he extended to de
fend himself—inflicting a wound from
which the filood flowed freely. Perceiv
ing that tbe animal, from some unknown
cause, was perfectly Infuriated, Mr. Lyons
succeeded In Mixing him by the throat
and strangling him.
A Sad Occurrence—It will be re
membered that in Monday’s issue of tbe
News it was announced that three little
cblldien of Mrs. B. S. Spann, residing on
Montgomery, near Little Jones street, bad
been taken suddenly seriously sick with
convulsions, thought at the time to have
been caused by eating china berries. We
regret to state that tbe youngest of tbe
little sufleiers, aged about four years,
died yesterday afternoon. Tbe other two,
however, while still ill, are likely to re-
tOVer.
Mr. James Seay, one of tbe oldest clt-
be Instituted proceedings for divorce,
which was granted. Mr. Walraven mar
ried a worthy lady in this county who
bare him one child, and she died. In
the meantime, his first Wife learning of
the divorce and marriage of her husband
in Georgia, began to receive matrimonial
proposals aud married a Northern man
who, after a brief married life, died. Not
desiring to live alone, she married tbe
third husband, a Mr. Beckner. He sicken
ed and died; one child as the result of
this union was left her. Her three chil
dren by her first husband grew up and
married well off and they opened corres
pondence with their father. Last'Febru
ary their father paid tliem a visit at their
home in Indiana. White there he met
the wife of his first love. The meeting
was a joyous one, and old limes were
talked over and mutual explanations
made. Tire result was they became en
gaged. Mr. Walraven returned to his
home at Kennesaw In this county, and
according to agreement Mrs. Beckner ar
rived at Kenntsaw last Thursday. There
she was met by Mr. Watraven, who had
the marriage license ready, and forthwith
the happy couple were reunited after a
separation of eighteen years, J. L. Hughes,
J. P., performing the ceremony. Cer
tainly truth la stranger than fiction, and
the whirlglgof time brlugs around some
strange events. It is the wish of Mr. Wal-
raven’s friends that hit last marriage may
be happier than his first and never again
be broken.
Among the presents st the marriage of
Mr. Janies T. Grsy and Miss Mary Inman,

Hon John Mfrryman.—Tbe South
never had a warmer and truer friend than
Hon. John Merryman, who died last Tues
day in Marylaud. He came prominently
before the world in the early part of the
war, as one of the first sufferers for daring
to believe that he lived under a constitu
tional form of government, even at that
time. His name will be Inseparably con
nected with that of Chief Justice Taney,
who also supposed that the inaudateof tbe
law was superior to tbe craft of Stanton
and the sword of McClellan. In the per
son of John Merryman tbe sacred right of
habeas corpus waa violated; but be lived
loug enough to behold it vindicated, in
happier times. Mr. Merryman came or an
old and distinguished family, that clung
to patriarchal acres and lived upon the
soil endeared to them by a thousand ten
der memories aod tbe noble pride of own
ership. Though John Merryman became
a successful politician and merchant, in
Baltimore, he had bis borne in the coun
try, and be never ceased to be the model
fanner and the devoted tiller of hit patri
monial property. He waa John Merry-
man, of liayfields, whose lands were
fat with harvests, whose grand Hereford
cattle were unmatched lu America and
famous at all agricultural fair*. HU
stately and comfortable mansion waa the
abode of princely hospitality, and to be
invited there waa to live, for the moment
in enchantment that bad about It a sub
stance never to be forgotten. A few year*
ago Mr. Merryman, though the father of a
large family of grown children, was one
of tbe handsomest and healthiest and
youngest looking of men. He would
have been noticed anywhere for bis splen
did physique and beaming, good-natured
aspect. He was just such a man as one
might suppose to have tbe special dower
of prolonged life, with every faculty un
impaired. And yet, almost without warn
ing, an Insidious malady seized npon his
body, which did not yield until he had
visited tbe spas of Germany. Last Win
ter be contracted a cold which assumed
the form of pneumonia, and from tbe
effects of that disease be died. The
writer knew him well, appreciated him
thoroughly, and mourns him sincerely.
Many a Sr itbern man and woman, par
takers off .'a hospitality and admirers othU
lof'y spirit, will grieve to hear that he is
no mo:e.

Origin »l Popular Phrases.
St Louis Glebs Democrat
Barkis is Willin’.—This expression
originated in Dickens’ novel, “David
Coppertteid.”
Thimble—The word Is derived from
“Thumbell,” being at first tbnmble, and
afterward thimble. Tbe little instrument
itself is a Dutch invention, and was
first introduced in England about the year
1305, by John Lofting"
Too Thin.—This slang phrase, which _
often heard when the hearer wishes to
express a disbelief in a story, and which
the majority of people suppose to be of
modern origin, may be found in Smollett's
novel, “Peregrine Pickle,” which was
published in London in 1751. When
Peregrine, tbe hero .suddenly informs his
lady love, Amelia, that be is going abroad,
tbe tears gathered into her eyes, and she
was at great pains to conceal tbe cause of
her grief by oboerving that tbe tea was to
scalding hot as to make her eyes water.
“Tbis pretext,” says Smollett, In all seri
ousness, “was too thin to impose upou her
lover or to deceive the observation of her
friend Sophy.” The expression is also to
be found in Sbakspeare’s Henry VIII
scene 1 ot act 6.
Bully—The use of this vulgar adjective
antedates tbe above by more than balf a
century. In Swift's “Description of a
City Sbowei” (1694) we read:
Box’d in a chair, the beau impatient site,
While spouts run clattering o’er the roofs
by fits;
And ever and anon with frightful din
Tbe leather sound; be trembles from with
in.
So when Troy's chairmen bore the wooden
steed,
Pregnant with Greeks impatient to be
freed.
(Those bully Greeks, who, as the modems
do.
Instead of paying chairmen rune them
through,)
Laoooon struck the outside with his spear,
And each imprisoned hero quak’d with
fear, etc.
I Acknowledge the Corn.—This phrase
is said to have originated as follows: In
1828, Andrew Stewart, a member of Con
gress, said in a speech that Ohio, Ken
tucky, and Indiana sent their hay-stacks,
corn-fields and fodder to New York and
Philadelphia for sale. Wickliffe, of Ken
tucky, called him to order, deciding tbat
those States did not send bay-stacks or
corn-fields to New York for sale. “Well,
what do you send?” asked Stewart.
“Why, horses, mules, cattle and hogs,”
responded the gentleman from Kentucky
“Very good,” said Stewart. “What
makes your bones, cattle and hogs?
You feed one hundred dollars worth of
hay to a bone. You just animate and
get upon the top of your haystacK and
ride off to market. How is it with your
cattle? You make one of them carry
$50 worth of bay to the Eastern market.
How much corn does it take at 25 cents a
bushel to fatten a hog?” “Why, thirty
bushels,” responded Wickliffe. “Then
yon put tbat thirty bushels,” continued
Stewart, “into the shape of a bog, and
make it walk off to the Eastern market.”
At this juncture the Keutucky Congress
man jumped up and said, “Mr, Speaker,
I acknowledge the corn.”
lotting the Cat Out of the Bag.—A
quaint saying which originated in Eug
land lu Ltiia way: Formerly dishonest
conutrymen practiced tbe trick of substi
tuting a cal for a sucking pig, and bring
ing it to market in a bag, so tbat be who,
without examination, made a hasty bar
gain, was said to “buy a pig in a poke,”
and might “get a cat in a bag.” And the
discovery of tbis cheat originated the ex
pression, “Letting tbe cat out of the bag.”
Biscuit.—The name of biscuit was
originally vis cult, meaning crumb
paste baked bread; however, the first
Idea of biscuit is to be fonnd In the flat
meal cakes, baked ou the hearth or grid
die—tbe most primitive form of unleav
ened bread. But probably the first regu
lar use for which biscuit were drafted was
for marine supplies, tbe idea originating,
it is thought, in Holland. The first bis
cuits were made by band, until the intro
duction of bakery machinery into the
royal dockyards of Loudon.
Lady—lu an old work of the date of
1762 Is the following account of the origin
of tbe term lady: '.’As I have studied
more that pertains to ladies than to gen
tlemen, I will satisfy you how it came to
pass that women of fortuue were called
ladies, even before their husband* bad
any title to convey the mark of
distinction to them. It was gen
erally the. fashion tor a lady of afflu
ence once a week, or oftener, to
distribute a certain quantity of bread to
her poor neighbors with her own hands
aod she was called by them hiaf-day;
that is, loaf-giver, or as it‘ is sometimes
explained, the bread-giver. These two
words were in time corrupted, and tbe
meaning of the term fa now as liule
known as the practice which gave rise to

■rs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrsy
Rev. Sylvamis Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian FreemanWe would
by no means recommend any kind of
medicine which wejdid not know to be
i;ood—particularly for infants. But of
'rs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge; in our own family
has proved s blessing Indeed, by giving
sq infant troubled with colic pains, quiet
sleep, aud its parents unbroken rest st
night. Mott parents can appreciate these
blessing*. Here is an article which works
perfection, and which is harmless; for
tbe sleep which it affords the Infant is per-
than anything that had ever been done or
said by our leading politicians. It would
bring capital from the North and England,
as the South bat everything neoeaeary to
successful investment. He certainly man
ifested much interest in the exhibits and
especially the mioerals from the Southern
State*. North Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama are ahead in this line.
In my next, I will speak of other mat
ters and things of interest. No one should
fail to visit the exposition. It is a
world of wonderful machines, inventions,
fabrics, and everything made or used by
the American people. America in minia
ture—it is that. I will eioee by giving this
incident as illustrative of the magnitude of
tbe exhibition: I was standing on an ele
vated platform where I coaid survey the
fall extent of the four wings of the main
building, aud wondering bow so much
skill and ingenuity could be displayed in
the South, when an old farmer from Dooly
county earns up and stood beside me a mo
ment. He adjusted hie spectacle* to his
nos 3 and looked each wing through, and
exclaimed: “Godlemityi what er big
show.” His name is John 8. Shivers, and
although sixty-nine years old, he never saw
anything in the way of machinery, except
l’ommery Sec is not, I think, the favorite
champagne. It is drier than the others,
but the most approved tastes discover loo
considerable a flavor of brandy in it.
That may be due to the parsimony of the
vintner, who, instead oi using the skin of
the grape for brandy, presses it for tbe
fermented liquor. Brandy iu champague
produces tbe effect of dry nets or dissipates
that taste of sweetness which distin
guishes those that possess it irom dry
wines. I suppose that Mumm's brand of
extra dry lira sold the moat for five years.

“On the night of July 1st,” began tbe
Secretary, “I was engaged until near mid
night with tbe President on putlio busi
ness. On parting he said that I had better
come again in the morning, as he expected
to leave the city tbat morning. On the
morning of the 2d I went to the White
House according to his request; I was de
tained some little time in consultation
with him iu the oabinst room, and then we
started for the depot. He rode in the car
riage in whioh I came to the White House;
it waa the State department carriage; it
was followed by President Garfie'd’s car
riage with the children; we rode down the
avenue with no particular incident When
we arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot—at the B street side—we sat a mo
ment to continue the conversation we had
been engaged in at tbe White Hoase. Then
he turned to say ‘good by’ to me, and I
said ‘no,’ I would escort him to car, for I
did not think it proper that the President
should go unattended, and, besides, I waul
ed to see and talk with tbe members of the
cabinet who were about to go. Stepping from
the carriage he took my arifi, as he ascended
the steps of the depot. He was on my left.
He stopped to speak to some one—I think
a police offioer, tbe same who had just be
fore that told us that ire had ten or twelve
minutes before the train wooid leave. As
he turned to speak oar arms became die-
eagaged. As we entered the waiting room
wo were not arm in arm, but side by side.
We had got half way across the room when
suddenly there was a very load discharge
of a pistol, followed instantly by a second
report. At first I thought it was some one
who had bt ome engaged in an affray, and
did not think that any deed of violence hud
been attempted against the President. I
touched him to hurry him on away from
danger. As I did that the President threw
nis arms up end said, ‘My God 1 what’s
this?” According to my impression this
exolamation was made between the shot*.
There was then a rush by me of a man. I
think it was on my right that he passed. I
followed after him instinctively and follow
ed, 1 think, h distance of eight feet, when
a shout came up ‘We have caught him! we
have caught him!’ I turned then, aud tbe
President had sunk quite down. Wheu I
got there he waa vomiting profusely. There
was, of course, immediately a very large
crowd around him. Mattresses weie
brought and be was taken to an tipper
room. Medical aid was immediately at
hand, and be was then taken to the White
House. This was fifty minutes or an boar
after he was shot, I think. I returned to
my own home and wrote a diapatoa for the
public—tbe European public •specially,
though I gave it out to the public bare—in
which I stated ‘At this hour, 10:30.’ I ar
rived at my bouse about tbe time the Pres
ident was taken to the White Hawse.”
“These are in brief,” said the Secretary,
“the aircuinstances connected with my ob;
serration. When the President was tying
in the upper room at tbe depot there was a
C aring around of the Cabinet offioer*.
■e had yet been no report made as to
