1 HI ■vi 8 TIIEMACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH. TUESDAY MARCH 16. 188G.—TWELVE PAGES. SLADGER’S DAUGHTER. How She Won Forglvnets. It might be said of old Sam Bladger that his counting lioiiso was bin temple, his desk w&s his altar, hiB ledger was his Bible and his money was his God, Next to his money he loved his only child, his daughter Julia. One conld hardly realize that Julia was his daughter, or even that sho bore the tin- romantic name of Hladger. She was beau tiful, well-bred and accomplished, and was sweetly winning in manner. Old Sam bad determined that Julia should wed his friend, Alderman Chozzle, who was worth a mint of money, and would be mayor at no distant day. It was an excel lent match from evory point of view except oner-Julia's. Julia would have nothing to do with Chozzle, much less would sho marry him. The matter was often debated between father and daughter, if that can be called debate which was nil command and low-voiced argument on tha one side, and all tears and silent obstinacy on the other. Had Chozzle had no favored rival in the field, it is possible the poor girl might have been bullied into accepting him. But there was a rival. He was an artist. He was V3ry poor. He was a complete failure in his profession. He was exceedingly ro mantic, and his name was Vandeleur do Vere. Any one must seo at once that these were quite good and sufficient reasons for any young woman falling in love with him. At any rate, they were qaite sufficient for Julia. At last Chozzle becamo too much for Jnlia, even though sho wasn't married to him. Her life seemed all Chozzle. Her father served him up at breakfast, at- dinner, and between meals. At last ibis incessant Chozzle diet, as it may be called, became intolerable, bo Julia went ont one fine morning and married Vandeleur de Vere, according to a prearranged plan. Now, if there was one man old Ham ob jected to more strongly than another, it was Vandeluer de Yere. lie branded him, with fine scorn,as ‘ ‘one of them good-for-nothing, ascetic fellows"—by whic he was under stood to mean the great icslhetio brother hood in general, when, therefore, he re ceived a letter from bis daughter, putting him in possession of the state of uffairs, im ploring forgiveness for herself and "darling Van,” the old mnn's feelings may, to uso a novel phrase, be better imagined than de scribed. In their home in a back street, Mr. and Mrs. Vandeluer de Vere awaited the out raged parent’s reply with a good deal of anxiety. They did not expect that he would come round all at once, that would ho too much, but they did hope that he would, after his first fit of passion, accept the inevitable, and his son-in-law. But they wore soon undeceived—not quite so soon, however, as might have been sup posed, for two days elapsed before a letter pisda its appearance, hearing on the cover the stiff, gwkward writing of Samnel Blad der. Whop ft did come the young couple -found it very brief and to the point. It was addrcMOil to Mrs, V, de Vere, and ran as follows: "Madam: Your favor of the 4th instant to hand and contens noted. As you have juado yonr bed, so must you and your •^vagabond husband lie. You have not broken my beart.by your wicked and dis graceful conduot, but you have closed it against yon forever, I am a man of my word; that you know well. I cast you off; I disown you as a daughter, I forbid J ou or your M. de Vere to set foot in my ouse under any pretenoo whatever, and I tell you now, onoe for nil, thnt you shall never have even one penny piece, or the value of it, from me. It will bo quite use less to write to me, as your loiters will he returned unopened. "Samcel Sudoku.” Writing to the obdnrato old man under these circumstances was certainly a forlorn hope, but the young people did write—more than once, and each time the letter was duly returned unopened. ... To do Julia aud her husband justice, they bore np under their miafortnnes plucklly. Van painted by the perch, rood and acre, but the picture* would not sell. By the time all Julia's trinkets had been turned into money, and actual starvation was staring the yuuuu couple in mu face for Jcaicrc and art shopkeepers wouldn't even look at poor Van's productions now—the lsndlady who ws* getting anxious shout ths rent, which was rapidly falling in arrears, volun- terred this-to Julia—very myaterious piece of advice. “If you can't sell 'em," and she indicated the blushing canvaa, “why not spout 'em?" “I—I beg yo*r pardon, I don't quite un derstand," replied Jnlia, looking a good deal bewildered. The landlady, in a tone of ill-concealed pity for her lodger’s ignorance, explained that 1 'spouting" the piotnres meant plcdgi ng them at a pawnbroker's for whatever he conld be indneed to lend npon them. Jnlia shrank from the idea at first, and Van was indignant when it was suggested that he should pawn his work of genius jnat as it they were fiat-irons on Sunday smts. But Jnlia had grown more practical of late —was beginning to come ont of her ahell, as Jhe landlady said—and soon reconciled her- welf lo the notion of obtaining small ad vances npon her husband's nlctLres. The work of pledging them was by no means a pleasant one. Only a few pawn brokers bare and there could be induced to and lend anything npon Van's priceless art ' **~iiuret. *."1 tuoso who lent anything at suggesting that they were prepan really liberal advances upon any solid commercial value. qnaintness of the idea— “unless you make it in the public streets like that girl we saw witli the crowd around here the other night, don't yon know? How dolighted yonr amia ble parent—confound him—wonld bo if ho knew it. Wonder what he'd do?" Julia was almost ready to laugh at the plaint conceit, even in tho midst of her poverty. But she did not laugh now. She Htarteil as Van spoke and turned quickly away from the table. Van rose also, went to his easel, began misrepresenting nature, and in that pleasing occupation very soon forgot about old Sludger und the cantatrice of tho pavement. All that day Julia was exceedingly qniet and thoughtful. “Van, dear,” Raid Julia, suddenly, when they had been sitting talking for some time after tea, "I'm going out" “All right,” said Van, “I’m ready. Where do you want to go ?" "Ob, not far, There are several little things to buy. I can get them quite well by myself. You needn’t come." “Needn't come! Bat I don't like yonr going oat alone at night, dear. Besides, why should yon go alone?" “For a womauii reason. Because I want to. Now, don't be angry, Van. Yon must let mo have lay own way. I won't come to any harm, I promise yon.” And Van gave in, of course. But he had fresh remonstrance to mnko when he saw Julia wrap herself in a faded old black shawl and put on u bonnet which had long seen not only its best but pretty nearly its worst days, “What on earth are you patting on those wretched old things for?" he inquired. "We aro poor enough, goodness knows, but you have respectable clothes left, any how." “For the sake of ceuuomy. I don't care how I look about here;" with that she hur ried out. Jnlia walked rapidly looking neither to the right nor lett. Bhe feared if .’he pro ceeded slowly, or hesitated, tho courage to carry ont the resolution she had made might ooze away. At last she arrived near her father's house, a handsome corner building. It was about 1) o’clock, and old Bam and his gnests, for lie was giving a dinner party, were in tho brilliantly-lighted dining room. 8am Bladger hud changed a good deal since his daughter's departure ftom home. He lookod aged and haggard. He missed her sorely, and yearned to have her back with him; but he bad stuck stubbornly to bis determination to have nothing to do with her. He found, too, to his bitter annoyance, that tho opinion of nearly all his friends was that be had treated his daughter with nndno harshness and severity, not to say actual cruelty. He feared that Vandeluer might bo driven by poverty to resort to any shady means of getting a living that might present themselves, and he was filled with a vague terror that he might find himself— the respected Bladger—involved indirectly in somo scandal brought about by his sou in-law. The old man, then, was not happy. But on this particular evening he was less un happy than ho had been for a considerable time, for among the gnests was one of the "nobs" he worshipped. "Well, as I was saying,” remarked the aristocratic gentloman, continuing a con versation, "thoro was quite a scene, lteg- ular excitement; everybody upset. I don't say there was anybody in particular to blame. But a sceno is a thing I ready can not stnnd, and so I've never been to the house since." There was n murmur of applause at this very spirited and aristocratic way of treat ing the affair, which had hardly died awuy when Bludger's face suddenly becamo ashy pale. Ho hurriedly drank a gloss of wine and listened with feverish eagerness, for it was something he had heard which had caused the blood quickly to leave hia cheeks. Yes, there was no mistake. Tremulous and low at first, but growing louder and clearer now, a woman's voice singing a simple ballad could be heard. Tbere was nothing much lu that to other hearers, but there was a good deal iu it to old Bladger. It was bis daughter's voice. Surely, he could not be mistaken. Making ■umu trivial uIC'um forgoing to ths window, he raised the curtuiua aud looked out. There before his very doorstep was a small crowd —one of those orowda which spring up in Now York os if by magic—and in tho centre of it was a young woman wrapped in a faded and old black shawl, with a patched und shriveled bonnet on her head. In spite of this, it was clear from her general up- pearance and the timidity of her manner that she was not a woman accustomed to get her living by singing in tho streets. Borne in the crowd wore sympathetic, otic era were mirthful, and others, again, merely looked on listened, and wondered vognely. Old Bam knew her in a moment. He hod not mistaken the voice. It was his daugh ter be saw before him. He looked ont at her for some moments, nnnbte to decide how to act. IIe most not have a ncene and he mm! have his danghtor. He caned himself for having held out so long. This sort of thing must he put a stop to at all buzzards. His danghter singing in the streets! It would certainly come to he knowil and talked about. Tho scandal would he too great. Leaving the dining room with ns com posed an air as he could assume under the circumstances, he quietly went to the hall door, opened it anil passed out. As he did so the song came to an end.^ Stepping uj> BASK BALL NOTES. Items of Interest lor the KUIflcatlon of Lovers of the National Hport.

Baseball players will earn their salaries tho coming season if they never earned them before. There is hardly a day during the season that they will not either be playing or else taking railroad jumps from one city to another. Jerry Horgao, catcher, is disengaged. He played with Columbus, Ga., toward the closo of last tcason, but ne.er obtained much chance to show up. Ho is a brother of “Mike" Dorgan, one of tho New York giants. Dorgan is a heavy baiter. The Philadelphia Life, conceded to be the best baseball paper in the country, says: “The South has mado marked im provement in baseball, and the coming season tho public will have an opportunity to witness some of the finest playing ever seen upon the diamond." The Northwestern League is composed of St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Dulnth, Eau Claire, and another, most probably La Crosse or Oshkosh. Each club will be re quired to deposit a guarantee of $1,000 to play the season out, which will commence April 15 and end October 10, The Southern League schednlo provides for no championship games on the Fourth of July.

Even in the best hotels it is sometimes difficult to get boiled milk. In restaurants it is seldom given without a special order. In many private honsea the article is prac tically unknown, in many homes where they pride themselves on their good coffee, only cream is used in the mixture. Coffeo with cream is delicious, and the lovely color it takes on as the thick, yellow substance drops down into it is a joy forever; bnt it is, alas! indigestible.

In a recent trial of parties at Barnesvitle, 8 C., for selling whisky in a dry town, it was developed that a substitute for the Georgia "blind tiger” is an institution known as “Santa Claus." The following description is furnished the News and Cou rier of Charleston: First, a closet three or four times tho usual size is made in tho cqrner of a large room. In the wall of this large closet an aperture is cut sufficient to receive a drawer twelve inches in width and six inches in depth. A drawer is then made to slide back and forth through this aperture, and is fastened so that it cannot he pulled entirely ont from either side, and is always opened out on the room side ready for tho use of patrons.

The passenger business of the Nashville and Chattanooga railway is looking up con siderably of late.

A special committee of citizens of Talla hassee are in Savannah for the purpose of securing assistance from the merchants and raiiroad officials of that city in tho building of tho proposed road from Thomasvillo to Tallahassee. Tallahassee has contributed $30,000, and about $25,000 in lnnds has been subscribed along the proposed line. A few thousand dollars more will make up a suffi cient amonnt to grade and tie the road.

It ia said that it is unequaled in any other part of the world. I lay one horn ' . In their keen struggle for life both Van and Julia became smart and artful to a de gree which surprised even themselves. Van very soon got to know the sort of nic tnre* npon which most money could be lent and was lavish in the use of his brightest colon. Bnt to Jnli* must be given the credit of hitting upon the idea of Van's producing endless copies of hia most popu lar piece—s red-ctoaked maiden walking in a gwnbogc cornfield under a brilliant ultra marine sky. Van noon dropped into the knack of “knocking off" these master piece* at a terrific rate. He worked upon some half dozen at once, first putting on six brilliant skies, then calling into being six fields of waving grain, and then intro ducing into each the simple maiden in the excruciating scarlet cloak. For many weeks did the yonng o.nple live npon the proceeds of theirgandy manu facture, bnt there came * time when there waa scarcely a pawnbroker in New York who had not in his keeping one of Van’s outrages upon nature. But it gradually be came harder to part with them or any pic ture at all, and the yonng people were get- ting terribly anxion* about the future. "Van, dear," said Julia, for the thousandth time, "we must have money somehow. I’m vetting desperate. I Irish, oh. how I wish I could earn some! Bnt what can I do? I was never taught anything nsefnL 1 can play decently, it’s true, ami I can sing; that's one thing I can do really well. Bnt i can I sing? I have never sang in e.

You shall not want for money, either of yon," and so saying, the old man drew her into the house. What passed between father and daugh ter then is, perhaps, hardly worth relating, bat a reconciliation must have been ef fected, for the young couple and the old man are now on the friendliest terms.

In all my long life I never experienced anything so awtnl as the storm that night in the Trans vaal, After about an hour ot this terrible din of the elements, there was a sadden cease to all just as suddenly as it began. The red sun appeared near the horizon, the clouds all passed away, leaving the atmos phere deliciously cool and refreshing, and when tho sun dipped behind the mountain it was succeeded by a silvery moon that looked like a glittering crescent in the beau tif ul bine sky. The shock of the system was succeeded by a qniet repose that waa indescribable—something for beyond the doleefur nienleot Italy or Spain.
