THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, OCTOBER 25, 1881
AMONG THE WOMEN.
SOME OF THE FOIBLES AND GOSSIP
OF THE SEX.
A Bffw.'Mqginc Widow la tho White Mountains???
Creating a Sensation???Unfortunate Position
of a Bridegroom-Tile Wei tern Wid
ow-Mot a Marrying Girl.
A Bewildering Widow.
A correspondent writing from a hotel in the
White Mountains, says: ???A liewihlering
young widow at our house is raising Ned
among the fellows, ami putting the noses of
the maidens quite out of joint. She dresses
exquisitely in second mourning. One of her
effective costumes is formed of black grena
dine made up over hlack taffeta. The skirt
1s surrounded with ten knife-plaited rutiles
edged with narrow Spanish lace. A touniure
of deep, sagging puffs falls over the hack.
Scarfs trimmed with lace-edged plaiting are
caught up under the tournure anil draped at
the head of the plaitings, falling over the
skirt in wide rounded ends. The plain
basque corsage, inclosing the shapeliest
of busts, is trimmed with a puffed
drapery around the neck, and terminates in a
narrow, shirred plastron.* The sleeves are
trimmed to correspond, and fit the plump
arms closely, ending in plaited frills of Span
ish lace. This delicious anil audacious widow
is noted for the costliness and variety of her
nose. Deharred hy her half-mourning from
wearing bright colors outside, she gets even
with fashion by sticking out feet that fairly
dazzle the vision; and her feet arc so small
and line that she can well afford to draw at
tention to them. She can do so without im
propriety, too, for skirts are short, and the
now re-established hustle tends todisseminnte
information as to what women walk on. The
widow indulges in the newest freak of wear
ing a stocking of one color on one foot and a
contrasting one on the other; for instiyice, a
pale blue stocking on the right anil a gold
color oil the left. This may not be artistic,
but it serves to excite surprise. In this par
ticular instance, besides drawing the eyes of
tlieinen.it horrifies the simpering old maid
who is the antithesis and aversion of the
widow???a failed wizen tiling of 30, with the
giggles of 15, and more affection than the law
ought to allow. One example of her doings
will suffice, She says that the nasal tones of
the natives lead her astray from nice articula
tion, and therefore she pitches her voice cor
rectly, once in a while, hy
means of a tuning fork. She amuses
us. So does the widow with
her prank-;. She went with a stage-load to
see Haines???s falls. It had come to her ears
that the fellows, pleased with her feet and
ankles as they had been shown at the hotel,
untici|iated a more comprehensive view when
she should go down the ojicn stairways at the
falls. Well, when the time came, and by
preconcerted plan she wffs made to descend
the stairs behind all the rest, what do you
tmppose those fellows sow? About four inches
of plain white cotton stocking, above her
gaiters, anil then the frills of an old-fashioned
all-obscuring pair of pantu ets.
ing parsons and buying colli ns forever?*
Then she asked * an old beau,
who wears a wig, for a lock of his hair al
though she very well knew he had not a
genuine spear upon his head. The widow has
a superb wardrolte, and if she offends an
adorer in one toilette she wins him back again
by npjiearing lovelier than ever in a new cos
tume. Saratoga has always appeared to have
a certain solace for widows and widowers. At
least they seem uncommonly happy here???so
gay amf so spruce that their neighbors at
home would not know them.

The l'iilbrliiiiuf<- I'onltlon of a Bridegroom,
Nan Francisco 1???ost.
They had n terrible time at a wedding up
at Petaluma the other day, and which only
goes to show how the smallest drawback will
sometimes take the stiffness ont of theswellest
occasion.
It seems that the ceremony was a very grand
affair, indeed. There were eight hridemaids
und the church was crowded from pit to
dome, as tlie dramatic critics would say. Itut
when they got to the proper place in the cer
emony,'and tin- groom feeling for the ring, lie
discovered it wasn't on hand. Afterthe min
ister had scowled at the miserable wretch for
awhile the latter detected the magic circlet
had slimied through a hole in his pocket and
worked into his boot. Herommuuicntcd'the
terrible fact in a whisper to the bride, who
turned deadly pale, anil was only kept from
fuiting hy the reflection that they would in
ovitabiy cut the strings of her satin corsage in
case she did.
???Why don???t you produce tlu* ring???? wliis-
} icred the bride???s big brother, hoarsely, anil
eeling for his pistol, under the impression
that tiic miserable man was about to back

???1 can???t. It's in my boot," explained the
groom under bis breath, bis very hair mean
while turning red with mortification.
???.???Try and iish it out, somehow???hurry up!
lumhlcd the minister behind his book.
???I'll try," gasped the victim, who was very
tout; and he put one foot on the chancel
ail, pulled up his trousers leg and began
taking spasmodic jabs for the ring with his
ire-finger. The minister motioned to the
rganist to squeeze out a few notes to till in
???e time, while a rumor rapidly went throu;
c congregation to the effect that a telegram
id just arrived proving the groom had four
her wives living in the east already.
"I???1 can???t reach it," groaned the??? half-mar

NotuU*rr?Ing Girl.
From the New Brunswick Freilonian.
They were seated together, side side, on
tin- sofa, in the most approved lover fashion
his arm encircling her taper waist, etc.
???Lizzie," lie said, ???you must have read my
heart ere this; you must know how dearly I
love you.???
Yes, Fred, you have certainly been very
attentive.'* said Lizzie.???
But, Lizzie, darling, do you love me? Will
on ba mv wife?*???
Your wife, Fred? Of all tilings, no! Xo,
indeed, nor anyone else's."
???Lizzie, what do you mean?"
???Just what I say, Fred. I've got two mar
ried sisters."
???Certainly, and Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs.
tinner have very good husbands, I believe."
???So people say; but I wouldn???t like to
tanil in either Slav's or Nell???s shoes; that???s
all.???
???Lizzie, you astonish me.???
"Look here, Fred; I???ve had over twenty-
live sleigh rides this winter, thanks to you and
my other gentleman friends."
Fred winced a little here, whether at the
remembrance of that unpaid livery bill or the
idea of Lizzie sleighing with her other gentle
man friends, I can not positively answer.
???How many do you think my sisters have
had? Not a sign of one, either of jjiem. Such
pretty girls as May and Nellie were, too. and
> much attention as they used to have?"
Now, Lizzie "
I am fond of going to the theater occasion
ally as well as a lecture or concert sometimes,
anil I shouldn???t like it if I proposed attend
ing any such entertainment to tie invariably
told that times were hard and my husband
couldn???t afford it.aml then to sneak off alone."
???Lizzie, Lizzie??????
???Anil then, if once in a dog???s age lie did
iondesceml to go with me anywhere in the
evening, 1 shouldn???t like to be left to pick my
way along the slippery places at the risk of
breaking my neck, he walking along uncon
sciously hy my side. I???m of a dejiendcnt,
linging nature, and I need the protection of
strong arm."
???Lizzie, this is all nonsense.???
???I???m the youngest of our family, and per
haps I???ve been spoiled. At all events, I
know it would break my heart to have my
husband vent all the ill-lem]>er which he con
ceals from the world on my defenseless bead.???
"But. Lizzie, I promise you tiiat I ???
???Oh, yes, Fred; I know what you are going
to say???tlmt you will he different; hut May
mil Nell have told me time amlagain that no
better husband than theirs ever lived. No,
Fred; as a lover you are just perfect, and 1
hall hate awfully to give you up. Still, if
you are bent on marrying, there are plenty
id* girls who have noti???marrieil sisters, or who
ire not wise enough to profit hy their exam
ple, if they have. And don't fret about me,
for I???ve no doubt I .can find some one to till
your place ???
But before Lizzie bail concluded Fred made
for the door, muttering something "unmen
tionable to ears polite.???
???There!??? exclaimed Lizzie, as the door
closed with a bang, ???I knew lie was no better
than the rest. That???s the way John and
Aleck swear and slam doors, when things
lon'tgojust right. He???d make a bear of a
husband; but I???m sorry lie came to the point

BUYING CONFEDERATE BONDS.
A Talk with the Aernt of the Knsllsla Speculator*.
New Yoke, October 15???Raphael J Moses adver
tises to-day his wish to buy one million dollars of
confederate bonds, and expresses a willingness to
pay for them at the rate Of one-quarter of one per
cent. A reporter this afternoon visited Mr Moses in
his office In Wall street. On a cliatr in the office
was a pile of 51,000, 5100 and 550 confederate bonds,
most of them witn a single coupon cut off*. The in
scription on one of t* e scries bore witness that tht
principal would be paid at the seat of the confeil
crate government on the first day of September,
1881.
Mr Moses said In reply to questions: ???I am buy
ig these bonds and paying 52 50 a thousand fo
them. I have already purchased more than one
million dollars worth and have advertised f
million more. I am buying them in acco
they hope to realize on them.
us king questions."
???Do you think It would be worth while to hold
market oil the other side is weaker.
bonds were selling slowly.???
???Where arc these bonds coming from?"
"From all parts of the south. 1 sent circulars to
all the banks in the south offering to purchase
those bonds at 52 50 per thousand, and have le
eched some from almost every one. The First
national hank of Memphis sent a dispatch to me
tills morning saying that they had forwarded 5215,-
ouo worth of them.???
The reporter made inquiries among other brokers,
and was told that there were several of them en
gaged in buying these is.nils, and that quotations
ranged from 52 to S3 per 51,000. He was not able,
however, to discover any one who was willing to
pay the last-named price.
Mr Moses is about forty years, of age and son of
Raphael J Moses (father and son bearing the same
name), a prominent lawyer and politician of Col
umbus, Ga, from which city Mr R .1 Moses, Jr, also
a lawyer, removed to New York city about ten years
ago, where he commenced the practice of law??? and
has there continued ever since.
Confederate Money to the Bank of England.
New Orleans Times.
A cotemporary, in an urtiele discussing the sud
den rise in confederate bonds recently, makes an al
lusion to the money belonging to the confederate
government's account with the Rank of England,
which for some reason was not withdrawn upon the
collapse of the confeduraey. Our eotemporary is
not quite correct in its statements. On the tirst day
of April, 1865, the confederate government had
??100,090 to its credit in the Bank of
England. When the crash came the con
federate cotton had di.-apia-arcd, and although the
United States consul general at Liverpool made
diligent search he could not titid a bale, although
he had reliable infonnalion that there was some
thousand b iles of confederate cotton in Liverpool a
fortnight before. Where it went, and the manner
of ils iiisdp;ieamnce, constitutes one of the most in
teresting chapters of the unwritten history of the
late war. Why the money bcloniriag to the con
federacy was not withdrawn from
the bank of England at the time of the crush
it is not easy to say. One of the reasons given is
that the officer oil whose cheek alone it could be
obtained was out of Loudon ill. and when he did
return, il was too late. Three attempts have been
made by the treasury denanmem to get this money.
The first was in 1S07. The American minister. >ir
Keverdy Johnson, was told by her majesty???s govern
ment tlmt the money would be turned over to the
United states as executor, but if the American
government claimed the assets, it must be xesimn-
sible for the liabilities of the confederacy. This
view of the matter was not entertained by
Mr Jonnsou. who advised his government
of the condition upon which the monev
eould he obtained. Mr. Boutwell. while
secretary of the treasury, made an attempt to get
the eoveted 5160,000. He sert lion Kenneth Raynor,
of North I'arotina, then as now, solicitor of the
treasury, to London, to see if some plan could not
be devised by which the government might obtain
this money without becoming rcs]??msible for the
liabilities of the confederacy. But he was as un
successful as Mr Johnson had been. Since Mr
Blaine has !>een in office he has also caused inquiry
to be made, but without any results. The monev
will probably remain in the bank of England???s
vaults until some more vigorous course than any
thus far taken is adopted.

WHAT LIFE HATH.
The flag of the Alabama is said to be at the
Institute fair, but the brother of Raphael Scmmes,
says it went down with the cruiser. The flag of the
Kearsage. which was unfurled bv the last shot of
the Alabama, is in the possession of Admiral Wins-
low???s family in Roxburv.
An Itinerant Nesro Doctor*. Numerous Raju-uliUes.
Marion County Argus.
There is a large-framed mulatto man, claiming t
be the son oi ???Chofe," an old Indian doctor wh
died in this county a few years ago, who makes
his rounds through the country ???practicing.??? He
claims to cure everything: says his father learned
him his business and that he knows all the rente
dies with which his father effected his cures Dr.
Sparks??? makes returns to the tax receiver of
Mation county iwe know not how
many other comities), and pars the
professional tax. ???Chofe;??? the Indian doctor
whose son lie claims to lie, was considered bv some
as an excellent physician, and this ???Dr. Sparks???
lias managed to make himself pretty well known in
some sections in the country. This fellow claimed
to have performed some wonderful cures near
Pincviile iu the beginning of this year. A gentle
man in Stewart county (the name we withhold,
because we are not sure we have correctly learned
it) sent for the would-be doctor. ???Dr Sparks??? as
sured the gentleman that he could easily cure his
case, aud was engaged to do so. After ingratiating
himself in to the confidence of the family sufficient
to accomplish Iris helli.Wi purposes, he chloroformed
the entire family, and then violated the person of
the daughter, a pretty young woman, took her
wateh and what other things he wanted and left
the section. The family lost sight of the wretch,
and smothered the matter rather than
give publicity to so delicate a subject. In the earl v
tiartof the year, the grand jury of Schley county
indicted S|??trks for carrying concealed weapons.
IK* offered defense and gave bond for appearance
for trial. He tied the county and left his bondsmen
???o settle the matter. One day recently one of the
Schley county bondsmen.saw him in Ametlcus and
had him arrested and sent to jail in
Eliaville. This gave publicity to his
w hcreai.nits. anil last Wednesday aii officer from
Stewart aud the sheriff of Schley w ere in Amerit-us
to get a requisition from Judge Crisp to carry
Sparks to the jail iu Lumpkin.
The citizens are very indignant over the out
rageous affair, and the feeling for lynching him
ran high. It is thought there is danger if carried
through the country to Lumpkin.

Life hath its barren years.
When blossoms full untimely down,
When ripened fruitage fails to crown
The summer's toil, when nature???s fiown
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath ils faithless days,
The golden promise of the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness bom,
Meant only noon-tide wreck and scorn.
Hushed harp instead of praise.
Life hath its val!evs, too,
Where we must walk witn vain regret,
W ith mourning clothed, w ith wild rain v. et.
Toward sunlight hopes that soon must set,
All quenched in pitying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons
Its tasseled torn and purple-weighted vine:
Its gathered sheaves of grain, the blessed sign
Of plenteous ripening, bread and pure mdt will
Full hearts for harvest tunes.
Life hath its hopes fulfilled:
Its glad fruitions, its blessed answered praver
Sweeter for wailing long, whose holy air, '
Indrawn to silent souls, breathes forth its rare
Grand sjieech by joy instilled.
Life hath its Tabor heights;

Whose unveiled glories flash to earth munition
Of love, and truth and clear intuition,

Our notion is that Mr. Davis reckons without his-
host, and allow s iris imagination to run away with
him. He is. like many another adventurer, over
sanguine. His experience will probably be that of
the young gentleman who went off with Dan Rice.
He wrote his father two letters:

Our Aristocracy.
Cincinnati Times-Star.
Colonel di Desnola, of New York, during an in
terview with one of the old world monarchs, while
abroad, was asked if we had any aristocracy iu this
country. ???Oh, yes,V replied the Uenerul, "the
wholesale dealer's wife refnscs to speak to the re
tail dealer???s wife.??? Di Cesnola???s experience in
this respect has no doubt been confined to New
York City, and happily New York City is not
America.
The Longest Night He Ever Paused.
White Pipe (Col.) News
Dick Frank had an experience one night during
his hunt. He got lost in the thick chapparel, ana
deemed it prudent to camp over night. Just as he
had comfortably fixed himself for a night's freeze-
out under an overspreading sapling two large cin
namon hoars hove in sight and commenced rioting
a few yards from him. Having appeased their hun
ger on the succulent roots, they lay down to sleep
and kept the hunter company till near davlighL
As Dick was not hunting bear, he did not'shoot,
nor sleep much either. He vows It was the longest
night he ever passed in all his bom days.
