The Prince of Wales has ordered his

This is the way in which “great” men

The General always gets the credit
for the skill of his subordinates and the
heroism of the rank and file. It is on
this principle, we suppose, that some

upon me fast. What should I do?
Wliat should I do?
It was with weary iteration 1 had
said these words and wept until tears
would come no more, and a dull, stol
id feeling of despair had come upon
me. I had almost shrnnk away in the
streets from the bright-faced’ happy
girls I passed.
It was a’ bright, sunshiny morning
when I awoke to hear some one knock-
at my door, and, hurrying on a few
things, I answered.
“Ah! I was just going to hike ’em
down again,” said the landlady harsh
ly. “Some folks can afford to lay in
bed all day, I can’t. Here’s two let
ters for you, and mind this, Miss Lau
rie; i never bargained to come tramp
ing up to the top of the house with let
ters arid messages for you.” ■
“I’m very much obliged, Mrs. Rud
dock,” I said gently, as I took the let
ters with trembling hands, while mut
tering and complaining, their bearer
went down stairs. It seemed very
hard then, but I believe it was the
woman’s habit, and that she was, not
bad at jieart, but warped and canker

from a drunken husband whom she en
tirely kept.
One letter, ! saw at a glance; was
from Minna, the • other was in a
strange, crabbed hand, and 1 longed
to read them; but exercising my self-
denial, I dressed, lit my fire, and pre
pared my very frugal breakfast before
sitting down and devouring Minna’s
news.
What right had I to mttrmer as 1
did .last night, 1 asked myself, when
she was evidently so happy and con
tented? And then I opened, with
fluttering hand' the other letter, and
was puzzled by it at first; hut at last
I recalled the fact that three weeks be
fore I, had answered an advertise
ment in the Times, where a lady-want
ed a companion.
The note was very brief and curt,
and ran as follows:
“IfMissLanrie is not engaged she
can call upon Mrs. Langton Porter,
on street, Park Village South,
dock to-morrow (Thursday).”
I said to myself, joyfully,
rig] heart I prepared
myself for the journey, for the ap
pointment was for that morning.
Just as I had pretty well tinted my
self for my walk a sudden squall came
on, the sky was darkened, snow fell
heavily, and in place of a morning in
spring we seemed to have gone back
into winter, for the snow lay thickly
in a very short time, and the branches
of the trees in the squares were whit
ened. . '
Weak as I was I fought my way
bravely on until I reached tlie place.
“I’ll take vour note in,” said the
footman, as I handed it. “You can
sit down.”
1 preferred to stand, and as soon as
I was alone 1 shivered with cold and
rear as I caugm a glance of in; pale,
sallow face in the great mirror. Ev
ery moment 1 expected to see the
owner of the place, but 1 remained
staridlng wearily for an hour, and
then 1 sighed and turned wistfully to
look at the door, wondering if the
footman had taken in the note which I
had given him as my passport.
I started, for close behind me, hav
ing entered unheard, was a rather
plump tall lady in black. She was
dressed as if for going out, and well
wrapped in furs.

ture seemed to swim round before
a cold perspiration bathed my f ,
and with a weary sigh I caught feebly
at the'curtains, and then fell heavily
u|»on the polished floor.
I have some faint memory, of being
lifted and wheeled In a chair whose
cjistors I heard chirrup, to the front of
the fire, and then ~ as uty senses began
to return, I seemed to feel arms around
me and a pleasant voice saying, half
aloud:
And she has just lost her poor fath
er, too—to set her to read such a thing
as that! I declare I’m about the wick
edest, most thoughtless and unfeeling
old woman under the sun.”
Then there was the refreshing odor
of a vinaigrette, and the sick feeling
began to pass away.”
“J—I leg pardon,” 1 faltered, try
ing to rise.
“ I beg j'ours,.iny .dear*” she said
tenderly. “Sit still, sit still. • Now,
tlien, try and drink that.”
Some sherry was held to my lips and
then I was almost forced to eat bis
cuit. They, however, rapidly revived
me. and I found Mrs. Porter had torn
off her bonnet and mantle, and was
kneeling by my side.
“That’s better, my dear.” she said,
smiling at me, as she passed her arm
arouna me and drew' me nearer to her
a id kissed me in a gentle, motherly
way. And now this was too much,
for I was w'eak anil hysterical. I could
tight against harshness, but her tender
words and ways unlocked the flood
gates of my grief, and I laid my head
(low n and sobbed as If my heart would
break.
An hour later, after she h;
forced me to partake of. th '
ordered up, and sat beside me, and
held iriy hand, and more than once I
saw the tears steal dowm her pleasant
face as she won from me, bit by bit,
the story of m3' trouble, and m3' bitter
struggles here in tow'n.
At last I rose to go, trembling and
expectant. Would she engage me? It
w as more than I dared to hope.
“Sit still, child,” she said tenderh'.
It has pleased God to make me—a
childless w idowed woman—His stew
ard over much w'ealth, and if I did npt
make this a home for one of His temp
est-smitten lambs I should be a worse
woman than I think I am. Stay with
me; we shall be the best of friends.”
I stayed—stayed to know' her real
w'orth and to win her motherfy love—
stayed to fled when John Murray re
feet of them, and opened a deadly,
fire' upon them. All three were killed
instantly. The work of butchery
and mutilation commenced at once.
Two of them were quartered and
hanged upou trees, legs in one place,
arms and trunks and heads in another.
The third was horribly mutilated and
left on the ground.
Two others kept the appointment
and rode into the bend wholly unpre
pared for the trial that awaited them.
The wind had prevented them from
hearing the guns, and the first intima
tion they had of danger^vas the sharp,
ringing crack of the Indian rifles; one
of these was killed instantly—shot
through the brain. The other,* named
McMullen, was mounted on a very
fleet raare that became frightened, and
prevented his using-his gun, b.v whirl
ing short round and running back the
trail she came.
McMullen saw an Indian warrior,
fleet of foot, attempting with all his
pow er of speed to cut him off, and he
allow'ed his mare to goat her best. He
saw if he beat the Indian It would be a
close shave. Both Aid their best, and
the Indian was beaten in the race,
though he was near enough to tonch
the animal as she passed him. Mc
Mullen was then going from the In
dian at head-long speed, but those who
arc ex|>erienced in the use of the rifle
know* that a shot going from you is
. the same, or. better, than a standing
shot.. McMullen looked back,and saw
a the Indian in the act of shootings at
' him; he threw himself forward on his
mare’s neck, crouched as low as he
could. The Indian fired, but the mare
kept right on until she came to a low-
fence that surrounded a small plot of
ground; over this she bounded and fell
dead.
McMullen tried to get on his feet
but could not rise; be was beyond the
line of vision of the Indian, and
crawled out, over the fence, down into
the swamp and concealed himself. The
mare-was shot through the heart and
McMullen was struck in the hack just
below the shoulder blade, and the bail
ranged forward and lodged under the
skin^uear the line of hair, behind the
ear.
After they had mutilated and man
gled the bodies of the dead, the Indians
moved off north, in the direction of the
Georgia line. It was not mauj* hours
before the w'hites were in pursuit un
der the command of Col. Wm. I. Bai-
lev', with Lewis Norton trailing. In
the eveniug of the next day thej' over
took the Indians beyond the State
line, in a hammock, with an open pond
in front of them. As the whites en
tered the edge of the pond on the trail
the3' were fired upon, and a Mr.
Blackburn was killed off his horse.
Col. Bailey shot one of the savages,
and Lewis Norton shot two of them.
Tbe3' did not know whether they killed
either of them or not, but Norton said
one of his made a verjr polite bow
when his gun fired.
The whites had to withdraw from
the fight, as the savages had too much
advantage, and take up their dead
comrade. They were in pursuit again

Of Ihe suicide of the Rev. Mr.
Turner, which has already been men

correspondent of the Macon Telegraph
Bays:
’The Telegraph this morning pub
lished the particulars of the suicide of
Rev. M. D. Turner, yesterday, at Stone
Mountain. No cause was then as
signed save a mental aberration, which
was unexplained. It appears now,
from reliable information, that the de
ceased was deeply impressed at a holi
ness meeting a year or two ago, and
became a believer in the sanctification
doctrine. Since that time hi* mind
had been so affected with the belief that
he often expressed the wish that he
and his wife might’ die together and go
to heaven. H6 wife did not agree
with him in the matter, or did not fol
low him in the new doctrine to such
an extreme, and was rather afraid of
him. It is believed now that the real
cause of his suicide -was this religious
craze.”

Augusta Chronicle.
Mr. John Bright is of opinion that
Europe is driving headlong to disas
trous conflicts. Mr. Spurgeon boldly
declares that London is more beastly
than were tbe cities of the plain. The
prevailing apprehension, beyond the
ordinary mi, of nationalities, is the
rise or svolt of the social elements,
which looms up tremendously, under
various names, in - different countries.
We have heard a wise man predict that
the next momentons European conflict
would be communistic in its nature
and objects.
It would uot surprise us at all if
France, the seminary of ideas, were to
initiate this movement and set the
whole of Europe in a blaze. The loss
of religion and the triumph of atheism
usually antedate convulsion in France,
and recent events would seem to de
monstrate that the Republic had be
come defiant of God. Tbe material'
elements of disruption are summed op
in the Paris Xatiohal thus:
“There are in France 36,000,000 hu
man beings who work hard from
morning to evening, and who do harm
to no one. There are besides in this
country 300,000 rascals who rob and
murder, and who pass by the name of
the army of crime. There are, futlier-
more, m France 300,000 politicians,
whose sole occupation is to excite class
against class, and whose avowed aim
is the destruction «f every existing in
stitution. With regard to the 36,000,-
600 of Frenchmen, nobody pays any
attention to them; ant the other 600,-
000 are the objects of the most careful
solicitude on the pirt of the governing
classes. If a professional malefactor
commits a criminal act, every effort
is made to save him from merited pun
ishment, and if a professional agitator
incites his fellow citizens to pillage
and worse, he is a privileged being.”
This country has congratulated ’
self that none of the provocations
with ail of these militating causes,
trust some money may be realized on
the crop.
The railroads based present freight
charges on last season’s business and
prices, and they are wholly dispro-
portioned to value of tbe article.
We had the pleasure of hearing
railroad man, 110 less distinguished
a railway manager than an adroit and
able speaker, say that the railroads
were as much producers as were they
who till the soil; giving, value by
opening up avenues to distant markets,
which is undeniably true. Yet this
proposition is as incontrovertible that
they are the largest consumers of
melon products we have. They con
sume about three-fourths the value of
our crops in freight charges.
The interest of railroads and planters
are inseparably interwoven. There is
a community of interest; upon our
prosjierity largely depend tlieir suc
cess. We are indebted as much to
railroads as they owe us iu the mutual
development of Interest. The rail
roads have been, and are yet, the mast
potent factors in our social, industrial
and financial evolutions. Each should
recognize tills mutual dependence,
then there would be a common plane
of mutual concessions that both could
occupy without friction of apparent’
-opposing Interest. I think the freight
on inelous too high at present, and
believe that it should be reduced.

business are vei*3' different from other

Mason, nor any of his rivals, has been
able to so far perfect a machine as to
put it on the market. It is to be

promising just now, ft seems that
even Mr. Mason is not vet satisfied
with the workings of bis machine.
More long and tedious experiments are
necessary. Perhaps Mr. Mason, if a
