MCCU or THE CEIME AND FALTEBlaM or What It Costa the County to Support
Her Paupers.
Yesterday was “drawing day" for the
poor.
Drawing day means tho day on which
the county paupersdraw their rations from
the clerk of the commissionere. On such
days tlie old and decrepit men and women,
with bent forms and whitened heads. leave
their shanties and rookeries and totter up
the court house steps.
A talk with Mr. W. 0. 8mlth, clerk of
county comiuiieioners, revealed some in
teresting facts in connection with the indi
gent people. He lias on his books the
names of 85 whites and 43 negroes who
draw every month tickets for 123
bushels of meal. These tickets, white call
ing on their face for one peck of meal, are
used for other necessaries. For instance,
the holder of a meal ticket can get for ft
rice, sugar, coffee, meat, etc., but no to
bacco, whisky, snuir, etc.
The paupers who live in tlie country draw
a tlie first of every month, while those
living in ttie city draw every other Friday.
In addition to issuing tickets to thoae wc
have already named, meal to issued to two
orplinn homes. Tlie county hospital costs
tlie county an average of $5,400 per annum,
which Includes provisions, medicines, sal
aries, etc., and the total amount paid out
annually for tlie paupers is in the neigh,
borliood ot $7,000.
The majority ot these |iaii)>ers nrcpco-
ilc who have grown obi and useless. They
inve spent tlicir lives uselessly, aimlessly,
and now, without the rainy day bank,
tliey fall back oil tho charity of tlie public.
For the last seven years Mr. Smith lias
studied the pauper problem thoroughly and
now, when one presents himself for aid
from the county Mr. Smith can tell at a
glance w hether tlie object is a worthy one.
In tlie list now on his hooks thereto not
one that does not deserve the rations.
Among them arc many who have teen
better days. One old woman who to
seen on onr streets every day,
and who draws her half-bushel of meat
every month, has in days past walked
our streets ill silks ami satins and dia
monds.
There is also an old man of the old time
stock, to whom tlie title of major still
clings, at one time worth $40,0001 When
ever lie calls for his meal ho launches out
into violent abuse of tlie war and its dis
asters.
Anotb“rpensioner was at onetime a
county officer who was at one time well to
(o'. All these have been unfortunate in
life, in one way or another their money
slipped through their fingers, and their
days ore now to end in the hospital.

FACIOLLE'S FORTUNE.
The Frenchman In Florida Who Wooed
Wealth and Won It.
The news somehow got to Jacksonville,
Fla., that Frank Faclolle held a part of the
ticket which drew the capital prize of $75,-
000 in the February drawingof Tlie Louis!,
ana State Lottery Company. A search
was set up for him by a reporter,/but he
could not be found. Finally some of his
friends were discovered who inspected,
although they did not know of bis good
fortune.
Faciolle was a carpenter and cabinet
maker. at 23 Fine street. He is turfy-seven
years of age, came from Paris, of which
be is a native, to America nine years ago,
and settled in Jacksonvill about ayeorago.

Tlie mystery of his whereabounto was
solved on Friday, when he turned ut in
the office of the Louisiana State Littery
Company, at the corner of St. diaries and
Union streets. Faclolle had in hto posses

which drew the capital prize of $75,000 at
tlie drawingof February 12, 1834. lie

it waa immediately exchanged for a

Bank. It was a noteworthy transforma

cabinet-maker, and leaving it compara

Faciolle is a single man, ami came

diligently for years, but did not meet with
much success until some lucky impulse
forced him to invest a dollar in a lottery
ticket, which he ordered by correspondence
from M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans. He
became aware of being entitled to a share
in Uie $75,000 prize soon alter the drawing,
and came here to collect bis money.

As the Columbus Guards are to celebrate
thelrf semi-centennial anniversary on the
23th of April, a history of the organization
may prove interesting to our military
readers:
The Columbus Guards were first organ
ized and chartered by the Legislature of
Georgia in 1834. Soon after its organiza
tion the services of the company were en
gaged in the Indian war. It served daring
the entire wsr. and in different engage
ments with tlie Indiana in this portion
ol the State, and in Florida, with great
valor.
When the call of the general government
was made on the States to furnish volun
teers for the Mexican war, of lots, ibis
company was among the first to respond,

Regiment of Volunteers, nerving with dis
tinction one year. Tliey returned home,
having lost heavily from fever that at
tacked tlie soldiers In Mexico. In 1300 the
Chicago Zouaves challenged any company
in the United States to drill agaiust them.
The challenge was accepted by this com
pany. and active preparations were being
made to meet, when the war between the
North and South liegan. This company
for .number of years mslntalncd tlicir
well-earned reputation as tlie best drilled
company in Georgia. . _ .
At the tint tocsin of war, they offered
their services to the Confederacy, and. on
the 16th of April, 1801. were ordered to

English Comments on Queen Victoria's
Highland Diary, With Extracts.
Tho comments of the English press
on tho near volume of selections from
tlie Queen's journal of /‘Life in tho
Highlands" are characteristic and
often amusing. Tho Daily Chronicle
says:
"Her Majesty once more liftethe (-At
tains of private life, and take her p*o-
ple into the fullest and most complete
confidence, The secrets of her heart
are laid bare with a mournful tender
ness that shows how pathetically true
it is, in tho Laureate’s words that the
loss of him ‘who wore tlie white floa--
cr of a blameless life’ lias ‘left tlie
crown u lonely splendor’ for Queen
Victoria. Neither affection for tier
children, love for her friends, nor re
gard for her people can fill tlie aching
void in the Sovereign's breast. The
reason of tills is touchingly .apparent
throughout tlie work. ‘Wc were i
world iu ourselves,’ writes the wid
owed Queen; and it is impossible to
follow tlie everyday consequences
of the shattering of this world without
the deepest feeling and most sympa
thetic regard.”
Tlie Daily Teleqraph says:
“Tlie royal volume will be read with
sympathy, pleasure and admiration nt
every firesido throughout the wide
dominions of tlie august authoress.
Tho gentle womanliness which has so
greatly endeared tlie gracious occu
pant of the English throne to her peo
ple for nearly half a century and wfiicli
has become a household theme amongst
the most remote of her diverse lieges,
is as conspicuous in these pages as
ever. The same love for the Deautifal
and peaceful aolitudes of nature In the
Korin is vtoible throughout, a longing
for retirement which the most exacting
must understand and appreciate when
they forget the Queen in the mother
and widow, and remember tho losses
spoken of with such tenderness in tliese
pages which haa overshadowed the
steadfast and couragous wearer of tho
nobleat diadem of ancient or modern
dimes. * * * •
Her acute perception is as vigorous
as ever, her memory for names- a»d
faces are remarkably characteristic of
her Royalty and the pleasure of accom
panying her Majesty through the glo
ries and wonders of her Scotch connt ry-

incident succeeds incident throughout
this volume,tempting the willingreadcr
from chapter to chapter, commandinj

bjeause n «torm delayed her trunks,
She had to go to dinner in a ruling
habit with a borrowed black veil fori| a
oiffure. She says:
"I sat up writing and waiting for
this luggage. A man waa sent out on a
ponv witn a lantern in search of it,
and I remained writing till a quarter
past 12, when, feeling very tired, I lay
down on the sofa, and Brown, (who
was indefatigable) went out himself lo
look for it At 1 he came back saying
nothing was to be seenor heard of the
luckless luggage, and urged my going
to bed. My maids had, unfortunately,
not thought of bringing anything witli
them, and I disliked tlie idea of going
to bed without any of tho necessary
toilette. However, some arrangements
were made which were very uncomfort
able ; and after 2 I got into bed, but
had very littlo sleep at first; finally fa
tigue got the better of discomfort, and
■fter 8 I fell asleep."

bo presumptuous for her to write her
name in Sir Walter Scott's journal,
which she was requested to do by Mr.
Hope Scott.
There are many other passages which
will be read with mnch interest by
Americans, and tho temptation to
sneer at her constant mention of John
Brown and her private grief will be
held in abeyance by the manifest sim
plicity and sincerity of Queen Victoria
as a woman.

Thieves Enter the Store ot o Fourth

When Mr. M. Peyser, living on the cor

iterdav morning, ho found that hto
clothes did not occupy their accustomed
place. On looking around fer them, be
discovered hto panto on tho floor near the
door leading into the ball, and the thought
•truck him that he had been robbed.
On going to bb vest a shot bag with
lot of silver coin hao disappeared from the
Inside pocket, and then Ur. Peyser knew
he was robbed. A search for ula coat re-
roofed tha fact that htotorge leather p«ket
book was gone, and with it about a hun
dred or so dollars In paper money.
Just outside the door lay the pocket
book, and it conta.ned only the notes and
papers. Going Into the adjoining room
where slept Jlr. Marcus Peyser, hto ami,
and a nephew. Mr, Peyser saw that Uie
wtly thief had gone through Uie clothes,
bat noUiing of any consequence waa miss

hanging on a nail by bis bedside and Its
location waa unknown to the thief.
Mr. Peyser then went down stair*. Tlie
dining room door wu wide open, and a
window in the rear of the store waa raised
about half way, being a space huge
enough for a man to crawl through. A
survey ol the store was made but the thief
did not seem to have been in want of cloth

He waa a smoker, however a* a few pack

trifling citicism upon a casual mention
of a sermon by I)r. McLeod, it says:
"There have been in ancient and

works were above criticism, if not
above grammar. There have been
royal philosophers, royal poets, royal

had an emperor who signed and' prob

TUB CARKIAQK ACCIDENT.
On her journey to Clona, which she
took "with a heavy heart," she de
scribe* the following incident, which,
fortunately, had ao serious conse
quences:
"Suddenly, about two mile* from
Altnauinthosack, and about twenty
minutes after we bad started, the car
riage began to turn up on one aide.
We called out, ‘Wliat'a tlie matter?’
There was an awful pause, during
which AUesaid, “We are upsetting.”
In another moment during which I
hod time to reflect whether we should
be killed or not, and thought there
were still things I had not settled and
wanted to do, the carriage turned over
on its side, and we were all precipita
ted to the ground! I comedown verv
hard, with my face upon the ground,
near tbe carriage, the horses on the
ground, and Brown colling ont in <lto-
pair, "The Lord Almighty have mer
er on us! Who did ever see tho like
of this before 1 I thought you were ell
killed." Alice wo* soon helped up, by
means of tearing all her clothe* to
disentangle her, bat Lcncben, who bad
also got caught in her dress, called out
very piteous, v which frightened me a
good deal,but she waa also got out with
Brown’s assistance, and neither the
nor Alice wo* at ell hurt. I reassured
them that I was not hurt, and urged
that we should make tbe heat of It.
"Meantime the hones were lying on
tbe ground as if dead, and it waa abso
lutely necessary to get them np again.
Alice, whose calmness and coolness
waa admirable, held one of the lamps
while Brown rut the trace*, to the hor
ror of Smith, and the horses were
speedily released and got np unhurt.
Almost directly after the accident hap
pened I said to Alice it was terrible not
to he able to tell it to my dearest Al
bert, to which she answered: ‘But
be knows it all, I am sore be watched
over us/ I am thankful It was by
no imprudence of mine, ur the slight
