A GEORGIA BOY'S BRIDE.
How 8he Escaped From Her Father'
Close Watch.
One of our neighbor boys brought home
a wife very unexpectedly, and under great
difficulties. For some tim« past the little
town of Allendale, S. C., has Lad some at
tractions for the yonnggentleman In ques
tlon. The young lady He woo/d and won,
but the Irate father would not yitld the
point. 80 It become necessary to resort to
strategy. It was planned that they would
take a ride and have a secret marriage,
but to do that the consent of the
clergy was necessary. Three of the rev
erend gentlemen were applied to and
all refused. By this time the irate
father felt suspicious and placed his
daughter in a room adjoining his own
witn no means of escape, save through bia
own room, as he thought. It was then
nfgbt, and ail retired. But love, not wish
ing to be thus outdone, began planning an
escape. She knew the train for Augusta
would be along at 2 o'clock, Upen exami
nation she found means of escape thro »gh
the floor and crawled under her father’s
room to the front gate, it being the only
way to get out. She made for the depot
and was just in time to meet the train for
Augusta, whither they repaired, and pro
curing the necessary documents, sought
and obtained the aid of more accommoda
ting clergy and were married in due form.

the record of 24 seconds was placed on the
blackboard, thus patting it oat of the

prerogatives of my office, do issue onto
you this process of extradition, and pray
that youdelirrr nnto th* proper officer

That your honor may be duly governed

appended that no doubt may rest on your

identity of the rioter for whom this requi

Anu now comes John Anderson Mijoe,

was assailed by a large, squarely-built,
broad-shouldered man, Fleetwood by
name, a doctor by profession and an artist
In his manner and »t>l<*, who declared,
with a warmth of affection not
justified by any previous icqnaintance or
occasion, that he was obliged to embrace
somebody. That he thereupon proceeded
to throw his arms about the body of de
ponent and to indulge in a species of war-
whoops to deponents utter dismay; that

that whilst he bated to do It, he was never

Gen. Alexander R. Lawton, of Georgia,
comes out of bta diplomatic complication

man o( cblvairlc feeling. When be foond
there was a question as to bi. ratoration
to the full rights of ciUxenthip after tb.
rebellion, h, promptly withdraw, and re
lieved tbe administration pi all embar

it was not from you, (veil your faces, men

new variety of tbe human family came.
Perhaps some gentleman in drab from
Pennsylvania, may say that he had groan
ed over "man's lnhnmanity to man,” and
had even lilted np bia voice against Afri
can eiavery. Well, II he can show that
one hundred and forty years sgo he spread
upon the records oi his colony a protest
like this which I now hold up to bis view,
then I tey, let him come down to Darien,
Georgia, aud place himself aide by side
witb the kilted Highlanders who, in the
year 1738, laid before the trustee govern
ment of Georgia tbe following objections to
opening tbe sluices to the black Hood:
Nxw Isvrr.ae-s, (Daeixs), January 3,
1739 —70 JJi» Excellency, General Ogle-
Iftorpe: Wo are informed that our neigh
bor. of Biv.un.b have petitioned yonr
Excellency for the liberty of bating slaves;
we hope and earnestly entreat that before
i-ucb proposals are harkened nnto, your
Excellency will consider onr situation,
and ot what dangerous and bad conse
quences each liberty would be to ne, for
many reaaona.
1st. Tbe nearness of tbe Spaniards, who
have proclaimed freedom to ail slaves who
run from tbeir misters, makes it impossi
ble for us to keep them without more labor
in watching them, than we would be at to
do tbeir work.
2ad. We are laborious, and know a white
man may bo, by the year, more usefully
employed tban a negro.
3rd. We are not rtoh and becoming debt
ors for slaves, in case of tbeir running
away or dying would inevitably ruin
tne poor master, and be become a greater
slave to tbe negro merchant tban the slave
be bought conld be to him.
4th. It would oblige us to keep a guard
duty, at least as severe as wben we expected
a daily invasion; and, it that was tb, case,
how miserable it would be to us, aud our
wires aud children, to have an enemy
witbont aud a more dangerous one in our
bosom.
5tb. It is shocking to hum in nature thst
any race ot mankind, and tbeir posterity,
should be sentenced to perpetual slavery ;
nor in Justice can we think otherwise ol it
than that tbey are thrown amongst us to
be our scourge one day or other for onr
sins; aud aa freedom to them must be a.
dear as to us, what a scene of horror mast
it bring about! and as long as it is unexe
cuted, tbe bloody scene must be tbe greeter.
We, therefore, for our own sekes, onr
wivee and children and our posterity, beg
yonr consideration, and entreat tbat in
stead ol Introducing slaves yon will put us
In tbe way to get some of onr countrymen,
who, witb their labor in time of peace end
onr vigilance if we sie invaded (with tboee),
will render it a difficult thing to hurt ns or
that part of the provioce we possess. We
will forever prey, etc., etc

Nay I Nay! Good friend! I was only
jesting. Tbia wild Highlander would
never have contested witb yon tha title to
wbich yon aspire. He w s no abolitionist
in yonr sense. He would never have built
an underground railroad—or, having set
rivers of blood in motion, would be have
placidly folded his bands upon his bosom
and breathed out, "peaca on earth and
good will among men." He was only a
far-sighted Scotchman, who forestw and
foretold that this much-coveted African
would, tome day or other, under
go a transformation quite i
strange as any recorded by Ovid
and would bs metamorphosed into an ap
ple of dlscor-t, thrown bv Providence across
tbs Atlantic, for some Inscrutable reason,
fobs fonght over by men of kindred blood,
with all the ferocity of hostile races,. The
trosiest only discussed the expediency ol
slavery; our Darien document handles l r
alto In its moral aspect.
In the beginning of this century, a great-
grandson of this Highland s,er, Thomas
Hnildlng, of Btpelo, thought be taw a way
of gliding oot of tbe mo-t painfnl drennr
stances attendant on slavery. Ho wet

Intosh More hs thelt chief they removed
from the banks of Lacknesa to the banks
of the Altamaha, with their patriarchal
fi rm of )vernm»*nt unbroken.
How lonir this state of ttxngs might have
continued in tin- anti-feudal atmosphere of
America is n matter of conjecture, for the
Revolution broke into fragments this
primitive aoc oty. The Mackays for the
most part adhered to the Crown. Tne
Mclntosheafor the most part took part
with the people. Bat there were excep
tions in both families. 1 bad almost satd
brothers crossed swords. Many of tbe
Highlander* who bad looked with aver
sion on the flig of Qreat Britain, wbea it
floated from tha flagstaff of Fort William,
in Scotland, bad learned to love it after
fighting under it* fo oa tt Frederica and in
Florida, and thus did the picturesque so
ciety melt away and pass ont of the mem

try dealer has come to look upon the
bree.y drummer with a marked coyness
when he and hi, gripsack heave in sight,
for the provincials look upon the
modern wav of stocking np th-ir
stores as rather opicioos. Some drum
mers—and I speak only on hearsay
—are credited witb much worldly-minded-
nets, and the retailer a hundred miles or
so away from New York worries occasion
ally wben he hears hints ol big hotel and
livery bill-, of champagne suppers and roy
ally carried on flirtations. 'Perhaps,' is hia
argument, 'tbe pay for all these very wick

He was young, hopeful, and perhaps

THE SCHOOLMASTER CURED.

I would like to tell yon of an incident of

ter entirely ot this often comical defect
Tbe bell was ringing for school, and tbe
master's wife wanted a pail ot water and
hod of coal. To save time, the muter
strove to gat both the water and the coat at
tha urns time. He drew the water from
an old-fuhloned wall, and, getting his hod
tilled with coal, entered the house with
bis bands fall. He walked np to the sink
and placed tbe bod of coal where tbe
water pail wu usually kept, and taking
tbe pail ot water Into the sitting-room
poured it into tba stove. The nluing
steam blew open the stove door, itsaed
from the coat chamber and every seam in
the stove ecorched the muter, pat oat the
fire and filled tbe boose with steam.
Amid it all lamed the agonixed shoot ot

would be both generous and graceful ta In
vite them on the floor of the house and make
their acquaintance, a motion to that ef
fect was made and seconded. O ^position
was immediately raised by several, one of
them saying that a rebel, no matter who
he was, had no interest in the busiaen of
Union soldiers, and that their presence
was aa iasalt which he could not endare.
Nearly every man In the house
was Instantly on his feet, trying
make himself heard and for
while there was a scene
wild confusion, which threatened to
terminate in a personal encounter. The
chairman vainly endeavored to secure or
der and threatened to invoke tbe aid of
the police. Qaiet was finally restored and
a committee appointed to arrange tom et
their old opponents after the business of
the meeting was disposed of.
After adjournment, the committee to in
vite the IL E. Lee camp to seats on the
floor came In, bringing with them a long
body of men In gray suit*. They were
r ted with great applause, and
return filled the house
with genniae “rebel yells” that
tteatened to poll down the celling. The
e^Confederates were scattered among the
“blue coats” and their officers Invited to
occupy seats on the atage. Colonel Mc
Ginnis, of Montana, welcomed them with
a graceful speech, to which Commander-
General Cook responded, bhort but bril
liant addresses w«« made by CoL Charles
Marshall, who was chief ol General Lee’s
start, and Col. Evers, of Richmond, Va.
The reception at Ford’s opera bourn to
night waa in every way a brilliant success.
The house was crowded, hundreds of
ladles lending grace to the occasion by
their presenoe. On the stage were seated
many men distinguished in many circles.
In the audience were the R. E. Lee Camp
of ex-Con federates aud the Duregna Zou

TO KEEP A GOOD HORSE.
Sensible Methods Which Should be Us*<ft
In tho Care of a Driving Horse.
The only wav to keep a good horse is by
care. If you do not have to do the work
yourself it is necessary to know how, ao
you can intelligently direct tbe labor of
others.
Before starting on a long drive a horse
should not have an extra heavy feed, as a
great many people very foolish'/ insist on
giving. He should only have a regular
amount of food, the extra quantity being
reserved until the horse’s return. The
drive should be moderately for the first
few miles, so as to allow the horse an oppor
tunity to get settled; afterward! he can be
driven faster without iniury. Many a good
horse has been spoiled by feeding heavily,
harne^mg at once and then putting Inin
down to his spee 1 from the start. Upon
returning, the horse should besloweanp
and walked or simply jogged for a mile or
so from home, if the drive has been a long
or spirited one, so as to cool him off.
It does not hurt a horse at all to water
him while en route, oven if he is warm, un
less he is much over-heated, if yoa do not
give him too much, and do not stop longer
than to have him watered. The perspiring
workers in the harvest field drink liberally
of water, and keep on with their work
without injury. It is only the extremes
that work injury to man and beast. If the
horse Is warm when brought in, his mouth ^
