Gordon and a grade man by the name of Jameson from , Ala., was returning from Washington City oveT' tlie E. T. ii Va. R. R, then run by the United States military authorities. The train was filled uncoinfrrtubly !u!', with tray eleri of evt ry age and d s ription, with here and there a blue coat, some with shoulder straps and many without, with on ly one gray coat to be seen. The train halted rather abruptly at away station, when the conduc ts a Captain, with a lull suit of blue and a hat turned up oa the side and a long, black feather dan gling ov r its rather wide brim, popp d in his head and cryed out ‘"Morristown Station.” Two or three pass'ngers came aboard, and seated themselves as best they could, where a vacant seat could be found ; among them an elderly woman, tall, gaunt and rather coarse feutured, dressed in a faded home-spun dress md sun bonnet —beirg the prevailing fash ion in the South at tbatlong-to-be remembertd period. A pull of the bell rope, the silver notes of the bell, a whist'e and the ‘"all aboard,” and off'dashed the train for Knox ville. The oly lady 1a 1 found a seat on the opposite side of lit train trora the trio of Southerners, and in front of a yankee Major of diminutive pi (.portions. , An aged gentleman, rather tall, and evidently a favorite of the Mil itary Conductor, had come aboard and found a seat in front of us. Very soon the conductor came in and with an air of importance, stopped opposite our old lady and in a gruff manner cried out,“Tick ets 1” hut the ticket had not been procured. The captain shouted at the old lady, “Tickets 1” Where upon she turned upon him, and with a kok of indescribable hate and indignation, remarked : “Sir, I told you I did not have the money to buy a ticket, but if y u would wait until I got to Knoxville. Tom Johnson would pay my fare for me. I am going thereafter my grand-children, 1 heir parents are both dead, a- d Tom J ihreon wrote for me to come a'ter them, he’ll pay you.” “Madan),” said our military he ri, “I told you before you came aboard to piocure a ticket.” “Yes,” replied the old la>'y, ‘hut I told you Tom Johnston would piv my fare when I got to Knox ville.” “Y"U shou’d have written to him send you the money or bring you the child-m," replied the ('apt, “We can't le; old rebel women ride on this road for nothing, you must pay or get off.” The md lady with a look of su preme contempt, ai d defiai ce. and area flashing with indignant rage, loosed our hero full in the face and said with deep emphasis. “Sir, 1 have a much right to ride on this road as you detestable yankee*; this road was hui t by Soutl ern men and owned by them too, and if they bad their lights they w..uld have possession of it—then decent and respectable old women w >uld not be insulted by such low down vagabonds as you are. Rut I'll ride to Knoxville in spite of you.” Just at this point th» Major who sat just behind our heroine raised uptnd thrusting his hand deep down in his p 1 cket, drew out a welUw >rn and well-filled pocket book and bandit g the Captain a dollar and a half, said, “Now, old woman I have paid your fare and want you to sit down and ke»p your mouth shut, I am tired of \ou abuse.” LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1883. By this time the eld lady’B blood was fully up. She turned upon the Major, and with looks 1 cannot des cribe, scream'd out at the lop of her Voice, “you nasty itlnkirg, mean, lousy thieving, s m-of-a-gui, befo e I’d ride to Knoxville on your money, J’d walk. I have walked it before this toad was hui A, and would wa k it a thousand times before I’d he beholden to you. Give him back his money, I’ll walk first.” Another pull at the lell-rope, a whisde, and we suddenly came to a stand still. The conductor and a soldier with repeater in hand confronts our heroine with the an nouncemen*, “you must pay or git off.” The pld lady in a subdued voice culls out, “Iftherearenny Southern men on the tratn that will pay for me I will ride, if not I'll walk.” This brought the ga 1 int Gordon to his feet with his li.nd in his pocket, Jameson and the writer followed Listxample. Fifty cents apiece was placed in the bund of the conductor, the old lady’s face relaxed, a hearty “Thank you, gentlemen,” and we are of! again for Knoxville. These were squally timfsinKast Tennessee and ex-rebels were net anxious to show their faith too plainly, nevertheless, our dentity was fu ly revealed. The con luetor and guar! retired to the adjoining car and held a has ty consultation and very soon re turned re-inforced by half a dozen well-armed soldiers, 'They siezed the old lady by the arm, Blo| prd the train and told her “she must walk t e remaindr rof the way to K. nr hack home.” Again she * x austed her vocabu lary of abusive epithets, and prov ed by the old g i.tleumn, the depot agent, and a Union man, who en tered the train with her, that she was a la 'y of property before the war. ui d a good citizen. As they drang'd ler out, she seized the rat line m d zefused to be tnr >wn off, until the money her friends bad paid for her was re turned. This being don", she was thrown off, nnd the train again moved off, while she exercised her her abusive talents in yankee in particular, and all in general. Whether she arrived ~at Knox ville and took off her orphan gra id children or not, we never heard, but there is one thing we do l now ; the old lady was the worst subject for reconst ruction that we ever mat. Atlanta Letter. Atlanta, J u y 10, 1883. Tbs Lesislature mCt last Wednes dry ami worked ai hour, though it was tin 4th of July and the streets of Atlanta wire crowded with excursionists and proceesions celebrating the duy. Tlie adj urn * meal in both houses after a short session was tad without any refer • nee whatever to the nature of the day. The Legislature was fuhy as respect.ul to the Fourth ns Con gress ha* frequent y been. That illustrious bo ly frequently work* through the whole of the Fou't i of Juy and often haa appropri ated the Sabbath for its woildly work. The pr sp- cts of he present L- c lslative see ion indicate that it will run into Sept mber. Ths m iss of local atid spec al bills, mtny of them of the flimsiest character is so great as to shut off all hope of fini-hing before the exp r tion of two niinitu. 7be roundabout way in wnich the present Ci nstitu tn n requires 'lie iiitroducti- n of such hills adds still further to the difficulty, There are really not more than half a dozen measure* of public importance to be determin ed at this se sion. Toe truahy part of the work will fill the bulk of tNi session The only bill of any general interest discussed so far was that by Mr. It ty of Cow eta, providing th it ia sui's on notes for the purchase of fertilizers, a plea of fulure of consideration migh. be made. The House discussed lb a bill a’l of Szturd »y’• leasion, an 1 came writhin one vote of pass ing it. It was rc-corsi<!cred Mon day morning and will stir acoth :r lively debate, when it comes up again. 7he übj.ot of the bill is to discourage the purchase of fertili zers, but it i* in terms so broad nnd sweeping, «n to at ow a'id even to iuvite fraud. The present law ought to he amended if it per mits the perpetration of fraud iu ihesale of guano, but the proposed measure throws a guardianship around the farmers of the State which is not at all flittering to their common sense, while its spirit i* contrary to the best es tablished principle* of law and justice. The bill will probably pass the House, but I doubt if it can get through the Senate. Mr. Wood, of Walker v t-d, against it, Gove nor McDaniel’s lir«t mes sage win brief. It called attention to the Trei' Vant claim, which would have paid the Stale ovtr 835 000 fur monies advanced by her in the revolutionary wa', had not the first C'omptroll|r of the tieasury stopped the payment, on the ground that th** Stale owes the General Government the Inml tax levied during the war. Governor McDaniel says the Cotnpirollc. ’a law i„ deficient and that he will do all iu bis power to secure the rights of the State in the premises. He recommends several amend mints of the Siate depository law, ami then addic.ses some (oinsel well woith the heed of ‘.lie General Assembly on the subject of taxa tion. He justly observes that lie burtf- us of State are not equally borne by the people and recom mends such legislation as will in* sure a fuller and f i er letu-n Mall tlie properly iu tne State fur taxa li m. The message w.s all business. It shows'hut the new executive hues c ear comprehension it! toe condition of the .Sttte, and a firin grasp on the living questions of the d iy. He will oe found a thoroughly practical G veroor in all things. * Judge Martin J Crawford is now lying verv low at Chip lay in Harris County, twenty-five mil from Columbus. His condi tion has excited the gravest appre hension of In’s fr ends. His trouble began with a sort of dysenlerry an 1 a general exhaustion has ensued. I noticed M«jor Gus Bacon at the Capitol this morning. He w g warmly welcom'd by his manv fri' mis in the Legi-latur. Though he declared in his speech ir, At lanta alter being defeatel for the late Gubernatorial nomination that he was out of politics, be still bus a strong following ready to ba.k liiiu nxt year.

John Brisben, Noble man, Cclonel George W Symunds in the Detroit Fl-e Press, says the Governor pardoned John Brisben, a Penitentiary convict to-day He was sent up from Bourbon for fif teen years for forgerv. and had ten years yet in serve. Our reade sure fami.iar wiih ihe history of this cute, and the hu nane action of his excellency wi l be generally com mended. —Frankfort (Ky ) Yeo man. I read this little pa ngraph and my mind went hack six yeais. I knew Joha Brisben, and I also kuew hie twin brother Joseph. I was familiar with the details of the ac'ion that placed John Brisben in a teh n’s cell, and now when the sad affair is brought back to my mind so yividly I must write it out, for n.’ver before have I met, in prose Or poetry, in zeil life or in romance, a grea'er hero thdh plain, D attef-of fact John Brisben. Toe Brisben* came of good stock. I think the greatgrand father of my hero eonigr.<te I to Kentucky when Kenton’s stitio i, t ctween the present City of Mays vide and the historic old town of Washington, was the principal set tlement on the “dark and bloody gn.u id.” He came from Upper Pennsylvania and located about five miles from the Ohio River, oo Luntstone Creek. He was an in dustrious, strnrg-limbed, iron 1 he-irtid old fellow, ai d in a few yeais bis siirronding* were of ths limit com foi table description. O.iu of hi* ton*, KMwm Brislam, O'ice represented Kentucky iu the Federal C mgre-s. 1 think lie was the grandfather of John and Joseph Br;»'eie Tin ir father'* name whs Samuel, and ho died wlien th y were little children, leaving his widow an excellent blue-grass farm and a sn ig little fortune gages. The widow remained un mairiid until her death. Mis, Samuel Brisben was ugoid woman, and eke idol'zed her twin boys. Like most twins, ti e brothers re sembled each other in u striking manner, mid even intimate ac quaintances cou'd not toll them apart. But although the physiru' resemblance was so strong there was great dissimilarity in the din positions of the twin*. Joseph Brisben was very »urlv and morose, sometimes cunning and*revengeful He wa* withal a dreamer and en tbusias'; a man wall learned ii books, u brilliant, frothy talker when he clm,e to be sociable (which wa* seldom), a splendid horseman and a most cxre'Vnt shot. John Brisben, on ths con trary, was cheerful and bright, honorable and so giving. lie was a man of high moral principle in tensely practical and metl odi ai, cared little for books, m d although he said hut little, was a splendid o unpaid l). He wa* a poor liorce raan, and 1 don’t think he • ver shot a gun in his life He saw nothing of the poetry ol life, and ns for spur*, he enj ,vul him olf only when hard at work. Hu loved hi * brother, and Khen they were b y* together Miffcred puni-dunent many lime*, and tmcompleiuiiwly, that ‘•Jodie’’ might go scot free. His life was theicfore a constant sacri fice, but the o'j ct of this loving adorn ion made hut shabby returns f<>r this unsi lfisb devotion. They were 20 years old when their mother died very suil lenly Joseph made a great pretense of grief, and was so hysterical at the grave that he had to he led away. John, on tbe contrary, never de monstrative, took the great afflic tion with hi* customary co dness. He said but little and shed no tears. The properly left to the hoys was com iilerable. dhe day they wem 21 years old the trusteis met and made sett ecent. There was the b'ue-griiss tarm, valued at $50,000 and 8100,000 in wellinveited te curit.es, which could be turned into ■coney. Joseph demanded a di vision. ‘You can take tbe farm, Jack,” he said. ‘I was never rut out for a farmer. Give me 875 000 in monpy for n v share.” So thi* sort of a division was made. John continued on at tne homestead, work rig in his plain, methodical way, and slowly adding to bis share of the mi ney what he could raise out of the profi sos the farm Joseph, with hi* newlj-»c qnired wealth, get up an es'ablieh incntaithe nearest town and be gan a life of plea»iirc of the pro* er sort. His brother gave him no ad* vice, for be km-w it was use ess. Joseph • pent his money with great prodigality, ar.d before be knewi' be via* a beggar. In the meantime John’s 825 000 hud oubled itself. One day Jn»epli came to him niif a full confisniun of his pecuniary troubles. “Jack,” he said, 'f am io*. only a I but I am heavily in debt. Help me out like a good fellow, and I will s tile down and bc r i lite ir. sob r earnest. With my capacity for busiuers I can rooii m ike m may enough to r pay you. I have sown my wild oats, and with a hide help I can soon rec tv er all lint I have squ m itred so foi lislily.’ For an answer Jo' n Brisben placed hi* name to an order for tbe 825 000 lie bad eirned so laborious ly- ‘Will that be enough, Jadio,’ he asked, 'because I have is rail'll ni ire, wh’ch you can have if it i necessary.’ 'Tbi* wi'l be sufficient, old fel lov.,’ was the reply. ‘ln two je.ir* I will pay it back.

He invested thin ill bus n as, and fi.r awhile seemed In hflve really reform'd. John Wan encouraged to »ai: 'Jodie will com • nit nil r'.lit. He is ►lu llter than I, and in live years will lie worth more money iliuu I could make in a 1 ileliiue.’ In lean than three yearn Joseph \lrisi»en’« all drs were in the hands of his creditors, and Siierilf’s ofli-* cers closed out his business. Again he tuned to his brother for help and sy nipathy. ') own that 1 managed a trifle carelessly,’ he said hy wav of ex planation. 'Experience is a dear teacher, and the lesson I have learned I shall neyer forget. If you come t > my assistance now I can soon recover myself.’ thico more John llrishen placed his name to a check payable to the order of lira brother, and Jos jib fil tered into business again. In two years lie was a earn nipt. ‘I shall never succeed in busi ness, Jack,’ lie suiil. ‘Help me out of this trouole and 1 will ii e with you on the farm. I shall succeed as a taruier. ’ It took all of John liris'ieii’s hoard to nay his brothers debts, but be m >de no complaint, uttered no reproach. He said: ‘I inn glad you are coming back to the lirm, Jodie. You need do no work,'and we will be very hap py together.’ .So Joseph to >k up his residence at the farm, and remembering his brother’s words, devoted his lime price pally to hunting, fishing and riding about, the country, In tin mcaiitiine John Brishen had fallen in love, and the daught r ol a neighboring farmer, Compton lay name, was bis promised wifi . lining a man of strict honor himself, and having full confidence in his i rott er lied d not o j«ct hlien Jiseph began to piy lira fjflUuced very marked attention. ‘I am glad he likes her,’ lie thought. ‘I am so busy on the firm that I have little time for plea-ure, and Alice is so fuui of am usement.’ ()-.e night Josnj h came to him j rat as the shadows of evuiiug were beginning to fall. There whs a triumphant ring in his voce as lie spok-. ‘Jack, old hoy,’ he s iH, holding out his ha;id, ‘congratulate me. I think that f uni to-day I can dale the beginning of a new life Alice i Compton has prom «,ed to ho my wife.’ He was too much nynssed with bis new happiness to see the ifl'ct of this announcement as poitruyed on Jobu'u hoc. He did not notice h iw the'strong man's haul tiem oled in iiis owr. •Is this true?’ fult* red J din ut lu-t. ‘Why, of ionrse it is. Are you not glad? We love each other and shall he vtry happy.’ ‘Welove each other, and shall li very happy I' repeated John me. chsnicitlly, mid all tne sunshine of his life sunk behind the heavy cloud of despair. 'Y.s, Jodie, I ax glad, and I wish you long years of hapi iiiess.' He turned awav and staggered, rat er than -wu ked, to his iwn ns in. He did nut stir all ui ht. Once a deep, sobbing groan strug gled to iiis lips, and the moon beams s’ruggliiiff through the wh - dow tell lull upon his face, and suri ri-ed two great tears stealing down liis pa e cheeks. Jle brush ed away this evidence of weakness and sorrow, and when the morrow came, no one look! g into his calm, serene eyes would have guessed now hard was the battle that had been fought and won in that locely chamber. Tney were married, and the man rejee'ed by ibe bride and supplant ed by the groom vies tne fi st to congratulate the nearly-marred pair A vacant house on the larm w..s fitted up for their reception and John Brisben's money paid tor tlie furnishing. ‘Hero*ft r, Jodie,’ he su’d, ‘«e ' wi 1 divide the pr fits of the fie in I don’t need much,end you shall have the larger she re.’ Ti ii years parsed nifav and J ihn Bi is l on, an old man before his lime, hi ill win ked fr in di.wn til! dark that Ins brother might, play (lie gent e ao and keep in Co.nfurt the large family which tbe yearit hull drawn i.round him It had been necissnry to niorigage the old liomeslead th raise money to pay Joseph's ei'trtbling diM<, for of late years ha hud played hea.ily an 1 had iuvnriifhly lost.
