prosperity and success.
Savannah will remove the walls
from the old cemetery in obedience to
public sentiment, and the grounds will

law for Atlanta. .
The Ohio Democrat'*, in convention
assembled, said: “Every dollar of
unnecessary taxation, State and na
tional, is robbery and a desecration of
the rights of the people.”
What has become of Ben Butler?
A short time ago he threatened to ob

The Boston Advertiser, reading the
Atlanta papers,says: “Georgians are
hurrying to whip Mexico. What they
really want, jierhaps, is to get into
country where there is no prohibi
tion.” *
The Georgia delegation to the Na
tional League convention, now in pro
gress in Ghieago, is represented on
several important committees. The
convention will endorse the Home
Rule measures of the G. O. M.
This Is from the Augusta Chronicle:
‘•The “old soldier” racket had no
force in Tennessee. Bob Taylor, who
was too young to go to war, easily de
feated Gen . Dibbrell, the hero of a hun

order.”
The Sparta Ishmaelite, taking a con
servative view of the Mexican war,
says: “We don’t intend to do any ‘re

From the Atlanta Capitol we take
tin- following: “Mr. Henry Witter,
who has been connected with railroads
for twenty years, says Atlanta is re

How does that sound for dull times?
Facts are stubborn things.”
As the cotton season opens we. have
noticed for the last ten \ ears that the
papers will be filled with paragraphs
to this’effcot: “This is encouraging
and our people have cause to rejoice
over the fact that we are about to wit
ness the dawn of a vigorous revival
of business and a return of general
prosperity.”
Editor Underwood, of the Camilla
Clarion, writes his leader in his this
week’s paper on “The Fun ot the Con
gressional Campaign.” We have al
ways suspected that our esteemed
neighbor was chuck lull of geuuine
humor, and that it would develop if
he ever gave sand pears a rest and
tackled politics.
The forest tires of this summer h ive
been unusually destructive to timber in
the Northwest. At the present rate
of yearly destruction oi forests by
tire the United States will be, in a few
decades, comparatively nude of virgin
forests. In 1879 over 10,000,000 acres
were destroyed by lire, representing
about 18,000 square miles, nearly equal
to one-tliird of tne area of the State of
Georgia.
The Democratic Shite Convention
of Michigan, which met at Grand Rap
ids, August IS, resolved: “That taxa
tion of the people for other purposes
than raising the revenue for expenses
of the government, economically ad
ministered, is robbery under terms of
the law. We are, therefore, in favor
of revision of the present unjust tariff
and its adjustment- to a revenue basis.V
The Democrats of 0;.|o and Michi
gan arc pronounced in their platforms
fur a revision of the tariff. Although
they are largely interested in manu
factures those two States are not wil
ling to see justice subverted by taxing
t ie agricultural' Interest to sustain the
industrial enterprises. Yet some in
tne Southern States are highjn oteclion-
ists. It is possible for a yoke to be
worn l»y a lieast of burden so loug that
it- removal would bo resisted.
The Ohio Democratic State conven
tion delivered itself against the Sam
Randall idea. It said: “Taxes should
not he collected beyond the needs of
the government economically adminis
tered, and we hereby reaffirm the prin
ciples laid down in our last State and
national phitforms upon the tariff
question, and demand a thorough and
just revision of the existing tariff laws,
in accordance with these principles.”

Mr.
The average person is surrounded by
a gob of gloom, as It were, in regard
to this great study. Bat there Is nothing
strange in that. There are an infinite
number that do not understand the
movements of the mule, and be
sometimes much closer to us than the
heavenly bodies.
Those who do understand astronomy
say tliat it is the grandeststudy east of
the State of Thomasville.
It does my shoe sole good to gaze at
“yon twinkling orbs of night’s dom-
in-ion.”
1 was an astronomer once for ten
short, happy years. I was located in
a small village. My observatory was
in the village jail. Some people may
turn up their nose at me because my
observatory was not located in the
fashionable part of the village, hot
can assure them that I could uot help
it. I would that it could have been as
I wished.
Often at night, when the day had
passed—on a full hand—I would *lfc in
my lorndy cell and gaze at the stars
through the telescopic bars. I would
think of my absent friends, and the
tear-drop would start unbidden to my
pale-green eye, and would trickle
.Iowa my dirty cheek, leaving a clear,
clean ditch as it plowed away to join
the brimming river.
I bad no cause for complaint. My
observatory was elegantly furnished
and supplied with all the modern in
ventions. I had a fine-tooth comb,
and the game was plentiful.
The first qeustion that will naturally
propose itself to the reader is, how
came the earth, stars moon, etc., here
Way back in the dim vista of years,
even before Thomasville had an' “ar
tillery” well, way on the back side of
the plantation, of time us it were,
there was only one heavenly body, and
that was the sun. Of course, this is sup
position. It was then much larger than
Dixie. The sun turned arouud as reg
ularly as the earth now does, but much
faster. It moved about as fast as I do
when I see one of my most intimate
creditors approaching. Everythin;
wentaiongassraoothly as a funeral bell,
till one day they had a prohibition
election there, and the suu got on a big
drunk; and because the county went
dry the sun got angrier than you do
when you eat a rotten peanut in the
dark. He fumed anil raved consider
ably, until Neptune, a little dry plan
et, seceded and went out iuto space on
her own hook. The next to secede was
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and all the
other dry counties.
Some few ignorant persons say that
the earth docs not move; if it did when
it turned over all the money would
fall out of your pockets. I don’t think
any would fall out ot mine if it
turned.
It is true I have never seen the earth
move, as my eyesight Is somewhat an
cient. But I have heard it move; there
is no discount on uiy broad expiuise of
ear.
Some say that the earth stands still,
and the sun, moon and stars are re
volving around the earth, l.ke a drove
of New Jersey mosquitoes around a
dead cow. This is sometimes true with
some persons.
I distinctly remember one night
when I Had to sit up with a dead friend.
We had a pleasant time. I was feeling
like an infant. They had to put tne
on the bottle. When 1 started to go
to iny mortgaged paternal roost it
seemed as if the moon and stars were
revolving around me. But the earth
did not stand still. I told it to do so,
but she didn’t so. When 1 got home 1
threw my tooth- brush on the fire and
tried to brush nre teetli with a pie<*e of
stove wood. Strange how absent-
minded some people are.
Some say that the earth is round. 1
wns long under the Impression that it
was catty-cornered. If it is round
why don’t some one put a baud on it
and run the machinery of the world?
She turns round once every twenty-
four hours.
The first star or planet that we come
to is Neptune. She is scientifically
known by this name, but her common
name is Mary Jane. There was only
one human being on this planet when
I was there. I walked nver a great
portion of it. I heard in the distance
a female voice and an organ, and the
gentle zephyr wafted to my sound
catcher a song, “Sweet Violets.” This
is why 1 investigated no further.
We next come to a small planet
called Vulcan. There is no water on
this planet. Everybody seemed very
filthy, and 1 came to the conclusion
that there was where our anarchists
come from.
Next in order is Mercury. This
planet has been known ever since the
wah.” There is no land there, but a
sea of mercury. There Is where we
get our cheap thermometers trom.
Venus is the brightest star. She is
tlie star that Adonis did not fall in love
with. She is very bright, and it is said
that she can say her catechism back
wards with her left hand tied behind
her. She is commonly known as
Sarah Ann. This star was inhabited
when I was there. I failed to find
any melon drummers there, and I
Bought 160 acres. The people there
do not resemble us. I thought they
were far ahead of us. I loaned one of
them my umbrella, ami he lias been
far ahead of me every time I see him.
There is a red-eyed planet called
Mars, but I am of tne opiniou that it is
as much par’s as it is mar’s. When I
was there the berry crop was ripe, and
l saw thousands of* political candi
dates gathering them. I think this is
the political star.
Jupiter is a planet that for size sure
passes anythiug east of Thomasvikle.
It derived its name from two small
boys engaging in a little pleasaut pu
gilistic encouuter. One of them hit
the other ou the thiug that is always
iu somebody’s business, and caused
The Savannah Setos says:
Sara Small, evangelist, will have to

says tliat he recently deposited at a
bank a roll of greenbacks, lu the mid
dle of which were several pool checks
“good for 5c. at the bar.” The evi
dent intention of the Enquirer was to
create the Impression that Mr. Small

Jupiter!” and siuce theu it has been
called by that name. The cube of Ju
piter’s diameter is 6622,617,094,819,000
miles, and the cubeb is still larger.
The mean distance of this planet to the
sau is 475,693,000 miles. I think if 1
hail to walk It the distance would be
still meaner.
Satcra is a knock-kneed planet gen
erally known as DeWiggins by pil
grims and strangers. There was a soft
couple there, aud the girl everlastiugly
gave her bean the G. B. He went
down town and told the boys that his
girl bad Sat-nrn him, and since then it
has been called by that name. This

can’t see why, though. U-ran-us for
what? When I was there the “Git
Thar” base ball club were playing a
match game with the second nine of a
little insignificant asteroid called
Vesta. I noticed the high respect they
paid their umpire. He was viewing
the game from the suburbs of a tall
pine tree. Base ball clubs are truly
no respecters of umpires. This planet
is in constellation Zero Cappo D’istra,
and may be seen auy night when the
clouds do not shine too brightly to ob
scure her ligh, near the horizon. This
word “horizon” is an Apache word,
and means “near the still house.”
I went to a ball while there, and the
ladies have their dresses cut more
decollette than they do at Washington,
One of them asked me if I was from
America. 1 told her that it was my
mother-in-law-country.
The dudes there far supass ours for
pure laziness. Alonzo Valcario de
Scarenger, an Irishman, iu vented
machine there called the dude-ometer.
You could a’tach it to your leg and
have it wound up like a clock aud it
would carry you along through the
day. It also records the number of
miles -y ou walk, also how often they
say “aw, weally,” and “doocid weatb
er, yaw know.” I attached one to a
dude there and made him drunk, and
he danced all the afternoon. Wlten
he went home he looked at the register
aud found he had danced 73 miles.
I did not faucy this star. There
was too much echu there. Some nights
I could not sleep for the e-clat-ter of
the drays.
There is what is called the solar sys
tem in space that the earth, moon, stars
and other grindstones revolve around.
Sometimes this system gets out of or
der. It becomes filled with malaria
and other kinds of soda water. When
tliis occurs the physician gives it some
of Tutt’s liver pills and it vomits.
This is what we call volcanoes. Some
times it gets cold from sleeping from
under the cover. Then we have au
earthquake. .
The above mentioned plauets are
called fixed stars. 1 think if 1 was
as far from my creditors us they are
from the sun i would be fixed also.
As I recall the many pleasant days
that I have speut ou the planets it
makes my liver stand on end and the
perspiration run down my totmatoe-
like head.
There are thousands of stars that we
have never seen that are roving
through space. Well may the po-8 say,
“Full many a flower is born lo blush unseen.
And waste its frngranre on the desert air ”
J ust so:.
Full many a planet is born to rove in snare.

It’s only abont twice a year,”
remarked State Senator William E.
Mason the other day to an Arkansaw
Traveller reporter, “that I’m smart

wnat 1 was goiug to find for dinner
when I got home, an entirely new

upon me. It broke upon my intellect

n a shrill, falsetto voice, asked; “Is
that Senator Mason’s house ?”
Yes,’ came the answer, and I re

of the wire.
Is the Senator home?* I asked in
the same feminine voice.
“ ‘No,’ Was the reply.
‘“Well, then, is Mrs. Mason there?*
inquired.
“‘Yes, I am Mrs. Mason,* was the
answer.
‘Oh, Is that you?* I cried; ‘howdo
you do?*
" Why, how do you do?* responded
my wife; but I knew by her tones that
she hadn’t the remotest idea whom she
was talking to.
“ ‘How are all the children?’ I asked.
“ ‘They are all very well,’ said wife.
“‘Well,’ said I, ‘I happened to be In
town shopping to-day, and 7 thought
I’d go over to your 'house Ao dinner.”

wife. She mustered up voice euougb

"‘Mrs. Mya-yah!* I repeated, and

Some notable books in history, trav

the book, aud accomiug to the state

“Sartor Besartus,” which has given
Thomas Carlyle more fame perhaps
than any other creatiou of his. brain,
was at first declined by every London
publisher to whom it was submitted.
When John Stuart Mill read the work
in manuscript he pronounced it one of
the most stupid works which had ever
come under hu|observation. Through
the kind offices of Emerson a Boston
house was induced to bring the book
before the public. The favor with
which it was received in America led
to its publication iu England and on

We have not forgotten the incident
related by Mark Lemon, editor of Lon
don Punch, of “The Song of the Shirr.”
The editor, sitting at his desk one
moruing, opened an envelope contain
ing a poem, which the writer thereof
said had been rejected by three journals
iu London. The writer sighed his
name Tom Hood, a name not wholly
unknown to fame at that time. He
begged the editor to consign ehe con
tribution to the waste basket if In-
deemed it unsuited to Punch, as he
was sick of the sight of it.” Lemon,
who rather liked it, hail some uoubtas
to the expediency of priuting it iq
Punch, and gave it over to several
other editors connected with the jour
nal for ‘heir opinion, who, to a man,
returned an adverse decision. But
Lemon, impressed with its power,
published it, making a great sensation,
and almost trebling the circulation oi
Punch.
When Dr. Palcy hail completed his
Moral Philosophy” the manuscript
was offered to Mr. Fanlder,a publisher
in Bond street, lAmdon, for £100, but
ii was declined. When the book was
published aud the success of the vol
ume had been ascertained, the author
again offered it to the same bookseller
for £300, but he refused to give more
than £250. While this negotiation
was pending a bookseller from Carlisle
came with an offer to Dr. Paley of
£1,000 for the book, which wasprompt-
lr accepted.
Editors of English newspapers and
inagaziues have often made ludicrous
blunders In rejecting poems of sterliug
merit. The editor of the Greenock
Advertiser expressed his regret that- he
could uot insert in his newspaper one
of Thomas Cambell’s best i>oems on ac
count of its not being up to the stan
dard. The Rev. Charles Wolfe sub
mitted to the editor of a leading maga
zine his fatuous ode on “The Buri
al of Sir John Moore,” but it was re
jected in such a scornful manner as to
cause the writer to baud it to the editor
of the Newry 7’elegraph, an Ulster
uewspaper of no standing os a literary
journal. It was published in 1817, in
that obscure paper with the initials ot
*C. W.,” but was reproduced in vari
ous publications, attracting great
attention. It is one of the best in our
limited number of pieces of martial po
etry.
American authors have met with
similar experiences to those of their
English brethren. Mrs. Stowe’s
Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was written as a
serial for the Motional Era, a anti
slavery newspaper. It was next of
fered to Messrs. Jewett & Co., but
their reader and critic pronunced it not
a story of sufficient interest to be worth
reproducing in book form. The wife
of the latter, it is said, so insisted tint
lie advised its publication. In four
years 313,000 copies of Mrs. Stowe’s
ijook were sold in the United State?
alone. Miss Susan Warner’s “The
Wide Wide World” was declined by a
New Nork publisher. It I? stated tliat
several well kuowu houses declined t«
publish one of the most popular of re
cent books, “Vice Versa” and even
when; in type two American firm-
failed to discover its worth aud rejects
ed it. Miss Evans’ novel of “Beulah”
was rejected by half a dozen houses.
At last Carletou’s “reader” saw its
merits, and upon his judgement it was
mblished without delay,making $3,000
or the publishers and as much more
for the authr.
When Samuel L. Clemens completed
his “Innocents Abroad,” be sent his
manuscript to the leading publishers
of New York,Philadelphia and Boston,
and they all refused iti He was de
termined to throw the book into the
fire, when a literary friend, Albert D.
Richardson, to whom he handed the
manuscript, pronounced it very clever
and offered to take it with him to
Hartford, where was located the Am
erican Publishing Company, a firm
that had issued several books for Rich
ardson. After considerable talk and
discussion among the directors of the
publishing company, the book
was finally issued. Its success
was extraordinary, and since its
publication 200,000 copies have been
issued. The publisbiug compauy’s
profits upon the venture were $75,000.
Will Carleton’s ballad “Betsy and I
Are Out,” was submitted to the Toledo
Blade. The associate editor threw the
manuscript into the waste basket,
having no admiration for the verses.
When Mr. D. R. Loke returned home
he went fishing among the rejected
contents of the barrel for another pur
pose and brought forth the ballad.
The concluding part was lost, aud Mr.
Carle ton was asked to complete the
poem. He had preserved no copy,
and bad to compose an ending to the
ballad.
“In reading manuscript for pub
lishers,” said a professsional “reader”
recently, “1 am obliged to decline for
one firm what another would publish.
A book must be in the line of a pub
lishing bouse to be successful. In the
channels which are supplied by one
publisher a novel would be a failure,
when, if sent out by another honse
catering to another taste aud possess
ing a different clientele,it might achieve
a brilliant success. A good many
books, too, are much modified in man
uscript. Many novels are curtailed
one-third, while many a book said to
have been refits, d has been so rewrit
ten as practically to be a new work.
It is astonishing, too, how many man
uscripts are almost good enough; and
from this it foLows tliat new ‘readers'
are apt to recommend a far larger pro
portion than more experienced read
ers. It is wearing and heart-break
ing work at best, althoughts in every
thing else, one gets somewhat hard
ened in time.”

How Kaiser Wilhelm Travel*.
Pal! Moll Gazette.
When the Emperor William travels
every possible measure is taken to pro
vide for bis comfort. The Emperor’s
special train consists of three saloon
carriages connected with each other
by a covered way. The imperial car
riage pr©i«r is richly hnng with Blue
damask,and at one end there is a small
compartment in wldch the Emperor
likes to stand at the window wbeu
along short journeys. A small sa
loon next to this coupe contains a sofa
and a spring seat, opposite which is
the Emperor’s camp bed. Near the
saloon is the study, in which stands a
desk with writing materials, whose ap-
le shows good wear, upon the
above the desk is a small model
of the Column of Victory in Berlin.
Adjacent to the stndy is a dressing
room, fitted up with extreme care and
good tasie. A dual room contains two

A J IfcsEY SALE.
To Occur in Atlanta ou the Twen
tieth of October.
Atlanta Constitution.
A meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Georgia Jersey breeders
association was held yestenl y in the
rooms of the agricultural tlepartment.
There were present Judge John L.
Hopkins, president of the association,
Messrs. Richard Peters, James R.
Wylie, Butler Woodward, and Sit*
Phelan. The object of the meeting,
was to set the time and preliminary
arrangements for a sale of Jersey cat
tle in this city during the coming fall.
After consultation it was determined to
have the sale in Atlanta ou the 20th of
October.
It thought that a larger number of
Jersey’s will be offered at this’ sale
titan there was at the spring sale.when
sixty-five animals were sold. Uuder
the rules of tlte association no animal
will be put up for sale unless it has
been-here two years, so as to have be
come fully acclimated. A committer
will be appointed for the purpose of
making a thorough examination of all
the entries before the sale occurs, and
none will be offered that are not per
fectly sound. At the sale the Jer
seys will go for just what is offered,
without the stimulus of any by-bid-
ding.
One large Jersey breeder near Atlan
ta will have twenty entries. The as
sociation has members iu all parts of
the State who will contribute to the
sale and it will not be surprising to see
one hundred Jerseys put up for sale
in Atlanta on the 20th of next Octo
ber.
Catalogues for the sale will proba
bly be out by September 10th.
Tbe Impression that Webster
Rufus Choate, speaking of Daniel
Webster, said that he never heard him
make a speech, a great spech whatever
were the topic or the time, that did
not leave -the impression that he loved
nothing, desired nothing, so much as
the good and glory of America; that
he knew no North and noSoutb; that
he did not seem to summon arouud
him the whole brotherhood of States
and men and hold them to his heart.
ITiis gave freshness and etiergy to all
its speeches; this set the tune to the
universal harmony. Even bis studies
revealed this passion. He knew
American history by heart as a states
man, not as an antiquary should know
it. T.ie plain, noble men, the high
aims and hard fortunes of the coloni
al time, tbe agony and the glory of the
revolutionary war and of the age of tbe
constitution were all familiar to him;
but chiefly he loved to mark how the
-pirit of uatloual life was evolving
itself all the while; how the colonies
grew to regard one another as children
of tbe same mother, aud, therefore,
fraternally; how the common danger,
the common oppression or the ante-
revolutionary and revolutionary pe
riod served to fuse them as one; how
the constitution made them formally
one, and how the grand and sweet and
Imperial sentiment of a united national
life came at last to penetrate and warm
that whole vast and various mass and
it as a soul.

THE GREATEST GAMBLER.
Picture of Big Ben Wood, Who
Won 9140,000 at a Sitting.
Saratoga Correspondence Cincinnati
quirer.
Ben Wood Is the most notable gam
bler of his day. He is a scientific play
er. His presence anywhere recalls
the day wheu his brother, Fernauilo
Wood, was mayor of New York City
and tbe Woods ruled that city com
pletely. lu Washington, as a Con
gressman, Ben Wood became noted for
the heavy poker hands he played and
for his skill at whist. He is oue of the
•best wins players in tin* juorkL. He
never plays without bettiug. He will
uot play a four-handed game with a
a partner,but gives a point to his anta
gonist and uses a dummy.
Wood’s appearance, especially under
the white rays oi the electric light, is
startling. His huge face has ail ashen
white color that is seen in women who
use opium. His big moustache is as
white as his face, lie generally wears
a white palm-leal hat, which is'bleach
ed to a color correspouJing to the pale
ness of his lace. His eyes, which are a
light blue, are constantly in motion,
but at the same time liave u set, im
passive look about them. They are
what you would call impressionless
eyes. Yon can never read what is pass
ing in Ben Woood’s mind by any token
from his orbs.
At my elbow sat a man who has
played iu a number of games with
Wood within a short rime, who said to
me: “It is Wood’s habit when he is
playing to have a bottle ot wine at his
side and a box ol cigars on the stand.
He lights a cigar, takes three or four
whiffs of it, chews away at the end of
of it for ten or fifteen minutes and then
throws it aw ay only to light a new-
one. He plays a game which gamblers
call lucky. Even at faro they will not
deal for him. Here at Saratoga the
minute becomes in they close the
game. He plays a system aud seems
to have reached a perfection in plac
ing bis bets which no other man ever
attained. I was in a game the other
night where he sat from 11 o’clock
until five in the morning aud cleaned
up 4,000. That was poker. Oue rea
son that the faro dealers are afraid to
deal for him is because there is no
limit to his betting, unless they place
a limit ou tbe game. He would bet
il,0Q0 where another man would bet
*50.
‘The biggest winnings I ever heard
of his making at a single sitting w r as at
a game in New York City, where it is
said he wou $140,000.”

Revolutions In popular opioion or
in government springs sometimes from
trivial causes. The bloody uprising of
Naoa Sahib in India w-us solely due to
grease. The native troops were order
ed by tbe British to use greased cart
ridges. Anything oleaginous was re
ligiously distasteful to the Hindoos
and they retaliated by firing the cart
ridges at tneir oppressors. Interfer
ence with the customs of the people
have overthrown thrones lu France
and Otbej- European countries. The
Present King of Holland knew all that,
and yet he had the hardihood to con
clude in cabinet council to make an at
tempt to protect the doomed eels in the
canals of Amsterdam, just about the
time sympathetic Dutchiueu were
sending over memorials for the Albany
celebration. Lafer, the soldiers were
ordered to protect all doomed eels at
che point of the bayonet, and a terrible
riot ensued, w ith much loss of life.
J ust now the police of the cities are
resigning iu consequence of clamor uud
danger. To understand all this it is
necessary to say that, from time im
memorial the unaristocrutic Hollanders
have played ah eel game on their canals.
An eel is swung upon a string attach
ed toaiope in the centre of tbecanai-
It is §Iive and kept constantly soaped.
Rowers speed along in swift boats, and
each one eudeavors iu passing to catch
the animal aud te*r it from its fasten
ing. Th’is is great sport for the Dutch
generally, but the Bergs ot Holland
regarded It as very cruel. The eel is
befriended, but it 4ias helped along
socialism amazingly. A formerly des-
>ised Leyden socialist is now on tbe
ligb wave of popularity and the throne
of Holland Is Iu danger. The anar
chists even threaten to cut the dykes
and flood the country, as vfas done in
tbe days of Phillip II., if the Dutch
king makes further war ou their an
cient custom. Tbe Holland eel busi
ness is of a piece with the once rural
Southern custom of “gander pulling.”
A live gander was suspended by a
string to a swinging limb, and as the
estauts on horseback ga.loped
jr the tree, they attempted to
jrasp the greased prize in passiug.
ireat expertness was essential .o suc
cess. It was fun to the spectators ami
contestants, but torturing to the ani
mals Civilization put an end to the
custom. Had the Governor of a State
attempted to interfere with the pulling
there would have been trouble. Any
cruel social custom w ill go dow n when
the people ate educated up to a )>oiut
of refinement.

THE SWEARING STO'rT
Gen. Fi»k Tells It As<i« aa4
Describes Mow It Sartu A Life.
Pittsburg Commercial.
Last evening there was another iin-|
mense audience at the r-uniou of the I
United States Christian Commission. J
Gen. Fisk was announced os tliespeak-
er of t he evening. It was two hours ofj
absorbing iuterest to all who heard him
talk. His address was made up largely
of auecdotes of his experieuce in the
war. He theu diverted to the work of
the Christian Commission. A detailed
account of the memorable meetiug in
tbe United States Senate chamber, at
Washington, twenty-one years ago
was something vivid to the older por
tion of the audience, who remembered
it. it was on the memorable occasion
that President Lincoln received the
telegram from General Grant stating
that the Confederacy wished to treat
for peace on the basis of union again
with the institution ot slavery pre
served. Gen. Fisk said he had watch
ed nim as he read it, and he could only
observe that Lincoln’s great heart
jfrn K, *“' 1 sBaoMgMhfc mah ■(
proposition. Then Mr. Fisk recalled,
one by one, the eminent statesmen who
were preseut at the meeting. Continu
ing, he said:
“I was sitting by Colfax. He said
to me net to undertake a speech. ‘It’s
too late. Just go iu aud make a short
talk as we used to have when you ami
L ran the imiehl.ie.* When 1 got on
my feet 1 made some objections to a
speech that 1 heard. 1 had been or
dered there from the field, aud so 1
felt like diking plain to them. So 1
told them that they (contractors at
Washington) didn’t know what it was
to stand the hardships of soldier life on
the picket lines. Then i branched
out aud told this ‘swearing’ story you
have heard so much about.”
Then, pausing, he related his story.
In brief, it was this: lu the summer
if 1861 several new regimen's were
raised for State defense. Among these
was the Thirty-third Missouri, a St.
Louis regiment, recruited by Geu.
Fi<k. A card was prominently posted
lip: “Swear not at all. Atteutiou is
called to the third commandment and
the third article of war.” He repeat
ed the well known story of Gen. Fisk’s
covenant with his uieii, tliat “lie
would do all the swearing for the regi
ment.”
“A year or so later,” continued Gen.
Fisk, “1 was sitting iu my teut doorou
;t beautiful bluff overlooking a pretty
river just about sunset. Suddenly 1
heard some most classic swearing down
on the bluff somewhere. Curious to
know who could have done this
went and looked down throng i th
trees.
“There I saw a teamster, from the
Thirty-third regiment, too, with «
stubborn team of mules aud a wheel
oil* his wagonload of forage. He was
cursing the Confederacy at a round
rate, all the way from Jefferson
Davis down to somewhere else,
wai.ed until he came up and passed my
rent. Theu called to him anil told
him w hat I heard. He said it was all
true, anil admitted he had sworn
most outrageously. ‘Well, but John,'
said I, ‘don’t you remember the coven
ant you all entered iuto on tliat last
lay at St. Louis to let me do all the
fwearing for the regiment?* He frank
ly admitted that he remembered the
covenant. ‘But.’said he* ‘you wen*
not there to do the swearing, so I bad
to do it myself.* “
The audience roared with laughter,
and it was several minutes before Gen.
Fisk could proceed. When be resum
ed it was to give the sequel of the story,
as follows: “Two days after I told
this story iu tbe Senate chamber I was
about to leave the capital to rejoin my
regiment, ami 1 called at tile White
Uouse to bid President Lincoln good
bye. 1 was‘ultimately acquainted with
Liucolu. O Leary, that famous body
guard of Mr- Lincoln, uouldu’tlet the
multitude i.i, remarking in a myste
rious way that the President could not
lie seen that day. Well. In'that crowd
I found a heartbroken man who was
anxious to sec Mr. Liucolu to secure,
if possible, the pardon of Ids son, who
was sentenced to be hauged on Friday.
That w as Wednesday. His story deep
ly a fleeted me, and I resolved to get
nim into the President’s presence it
possible. So I went up to O’Leary
aud asked what was the reason the
President’s door was closed to people.

He explained to me that a spec
gine was iu waiting to carry the Pres-
'ident and party to Annapolis to hold
■x conference with Stewart, Hunter and
others of the Confederacy, in view of a
prosjiect or closing the war. He was
to leave the White House in fifteen
minutes, and no one was to interrupt
him. I prevailed on Mr. O’Leary :o
take in my card with a brief outline of
the man’s story writteu upon it.
“in three minutes Lincoln sent out
for the man. 1 peeped and saw all
that occurred. Lincoln told the man
that he only had fifteen minutes, and
asked him to take the papers to anoth
er department and return the next day.
This disappointed tbe visitor, and he
broke down in tears, begging the Pres
ident to act right now, to-morrow
would be too late. It touched tbe Pres-
ident’sjieart, and then humor was de
picted on his honest face. -Sit right
down there, my man,* he said, ‘and
I’ll tell you General Fisk’s swearing
story.* And for tbe time being lie for
got the important conference with the
Confederacy’s representative—forgot
everything but the man before him.
The storv was told, and in ten minutes
both Lincoln and the old man were
convulsed with laughter. Then he
Arose, and seizing his qiiill pen wrote
across tlie papers presented by his visi
tor these words: ‘Please pardon this
man at once.* Hadn’t it been for the
swearing story he would have deferred
the case until the next day, and It
would have been too late. Thu# was
a life saved by the swearing story.”

What Well-Pe»te4 Sion Say About
tk* - l o« k M > \ * in . i, t.
Savannah New*.
Central railroad stock was eagerly
Liken by brokers yesterday at 101
The stock is still reported to be going
North in large blocks, and the most of
itto one firm. A gentleman who is
well posted in stock movements said
yesterday that there is, in his opinion,
no grounds for its upward tendency
except tlie reports which are kept
afloat about certain mysterious move
ments. The booin was started by par
ties in Savannah and Augusta, and
caused the stock to take a rise. Par
ties North caught at the' bait, and a
demand lrom that quarter caused fur
ther advances. Quiet investors there
were seeking an investment for their
surplus money, and th**y thought a
tour per cent, stock, with a prospect of
something better every now and then,
was good enough. There is no telling,
however, how high Central would go,
but, the gentleman stated, it will come
to a dead stop before the middle of next
month.
Another party who is supposed to
kuow something about tlie Inside man
agement of the Central said there is no
cause for the advance as far as the
bti?ine.*sof that company is concerned,
and it looks as though there is some
foundation for the rumors of outsider?
trying to get control. There is not,
however, the slightest chance for any
syndicate North or elsewhere getting
control of the road or dictating its poli
cy by controlling a large minority vote.
Large blocks of ?tock had been pur
chased when the stock was low, by
parties now controlling the nil road,
and that stock is stili held by them iu
their interest. The stock which
