1 v W9M VOL, XVIIL ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 15 1885. PRICE FIVE CENTS. SOCfl STUFF AS DREAMS, A STORY. By Julian Hawthorne. cnapnss vi. At dinner, nnder the Influence of the claret,| which was good, Austen became more than ever vivacious, and told many anecdotes about his earl; adventures in the town. ???If I dldnM learn Lathi,??? said he, ???I learnt a good deal abont some of thedhlngs that Horace and Ovid and those other old chaps used to writo of. You're such a confounded saint, Ferris, that to hear of somo of my goings-on would mako you blush. I don???t supposo you ever spoko to a pretty woman in your life except upon com pulsion; I???m sure the Diva, the other night, must hare thought you had vocal paralysis. But as for me, I was always'just as bad the other way. I lose my heart at sight; and the worst of it ia the girls don't help me out a bit; the best thing that could happen to mo would be to And a handsome woman who could say no I Now, there was a girl???never mind her name, poor soul???call her Mary for convenience ???elie was as pretty a creature as ever stepped in slippers and as demure as pie-crust.^But really, my dear fellow, it takes a cleverer man than I am to see through a woman, let her ap pear as simple as sho may. And they all want to get married???that'a.thd doueo of it. Why enu???t they be content to havo a little fun and done with it? Well,??? it was a pretty close thiDg for me as regarded Mary; if she had held out a little longer I believe I should have given in; sud you might liave been sitting In a two-pair back lodgings with ,ma?? and Mrs. Austen at this moment. But denoo take it! it's better as it is. My conscience both ered me a little for a time; but she's all right now, and everything???s for the beat. Heigho! Have another glass??????? Lund refused. He was a moderate drinker, and the condition of his friend, who had obvi ously bad quite as much as was good lor him, w as in itself enough to prompt him to abstain. ???You teem to think,??? he said, rather severely, . tuuoiTui gw iuitijg, udhiu, ramcr Dovuruiy, ???tbit a thing is good only sa for as there is ftm in it. 1 have never had much to do with I women, it is true; bat I havo bad thoughts of what a woman might bo to a man. If I had talked to tho Diva, as you call hor, la the way you and the others did, there might havo been some fun iu it, bat when tho tltns came that I] loved a woman, and wished to make her m; wtfo. the recollection of tho fan I had wltL tln* Diva would not beplcasant; or, If I didn???t mind it, so much tho worse for mo. Thore aro certain kinds of feelings thst a man can havo only once; if ho plays fast and loose with them, ho will havo to do without them over Afterwards. If you degrado yourself with ono woman you can never do justice to any ??? Jv. ??????Lun<I,HI. *???., j the way it ought to "I am only talking common sense/' re turned the other, reddening a little; ???and I / as woll tell you,??? ho added after a mol went, ??????that this Journey of ours has boon to mo something more than a mere series of veri- licit ions of things I liaddreampt. I saw in that dream tho face of a woman; it is as clear to my memory now as if sho wero standing be fore ns; and fifty years hcnco, if I live so long, I aboil not have forgotten it. I have novor seen her actual self; I don???t know who sho Is, or what she is, or where she is; but, be that as it may, she Is tho woman that I lovo, and i shall never love any other. That she does ex ist, I am certain; and I belfevo that I Iiaco < ome to this town to meet her. But if I had lived the port of life you seem to And ??o at tractive, then, instead of feeling it a delight and a blessing to meet her, it would be a dis mal and wretched catastrophe. For, if I had fetill reverence enough left for woaian to ap- predate her, I would show It by taking my self out of tho way; and, if tho rcvoronce was gone, then everything would be gone that Is woith keeping!??? I ??? Ton honor, my dear boy, I???vo not an Idea what you???re so touchy about.??? observod Austen, taking out a cigar and lighting it over a limn. ???Of course, you know, ono respects respectable women, and all that; but then, you know, there???s moat os big a difference between ono woman and another os there is between her and a man 1??? * ???In ono sense that may be true; but what I nay is, that whoever has had a hand in bring ing a woman down, looses the power of think ing honestly of any woman whatever.??? ???Oh, well, I don???t intend to keep np with your confounded high-flying notions,??? ex claimed Austen, becoming impatient. ???If you w ant to moralize, yon can get some woman to listen to you, I sntiposc; men don???t care for it. 1 came here to oyoy myself, and all your talk has made roe os dry os a fish!??? So saying, he stepped, somewhat unsteadily, to tho boll-ropo and gave it a vigorous pnll. * Presently the door opened. Lund was sit ting with his back toward It, and Austen, at the moment, was itooping over the fire light ing bis cigar, which had gone out, at a rod-hot coal be had picked up with the tongs. - ??????Another bottle of wine, Korkins,??? said he, turning round; and ask Mr. Lam hullo l Fhidon me ; I thought I was speaking to??? Allas Lambert, I declare!??? Lund also turned; but as soon as he caught sight of the youthful and comely figure stand ing in the doorway he started to hla feet, and the blood rushed to bis cheeks and forehead. It was she, yes, it was she! ??? ??? ??? It was she, yes, it was she! VII. ??? . The three persons of this little tableau main tained their position* unchanged for several moments. The girl???s quiet glance had passed firm Austen to Land, when the latter started up. and she continued to look straight at bin. Lund was, indeed, a man of striking aspect??? daik, with dark, deep-set eyes, delicate feat ure a and bis hair long, as was the custom at that period. His habitual expression was marked by a'sensitive reserve, but, at this juncture, it was vivid and fall of repressed ex citement. There was something in his appear- tie modesty of her Ups, the dear purity of her complexion, and a certain simple, unconscious dignity of girlish grace, mode her sweet to look upon. Her earlier years had been spent in seclusion; her father had been almost her only friend and companion ; the had lived in a world of books, or country walks, of quiet household duties. The change from this serene solitude to the bustle and publicity of an inn would have beci&oo trying to anyone but a sincere and well-balanced nature, apart from the social sacrifice involved: but Mary had not cui/iai oawiuvc iuiuiu.il ??? uuv turn uuii only submitted to it uncomplainingly, she had even, by her arguments and quiet urgency, overcome her father's reluctanco to the stop. Hor had she overestimated her power of adapt ing herself to tho new circumstances. She had at once assumed, the main burden of the management, and, by dint of her transparent good sense and unobtrusive firmness, the lat ter state of the Inn was made better than the fltst. Mary Lambert was not afraid of her guests, nor did she allow her servants to get tho upper hand of her; sho was unaffected, economical and liberal, and her affairs pros pered. It was only a few moments that she stood there; then sho said, addressing Aosten with some appearance of effort, ???I am glad to see you here, sir. I had sent Korkins on an er rand, so I answered the bell myself. You shall have the wino immediately.??? And hav ing spoken, she began to blush, retrospective* ly as it were, until her face was pink all over. ???Wait a moment, Miss Lambert???Mary!??? exclaimed Austen, as she turned to retire. ???Don???t run away from an old friend like that. I introduce my friend, Ferris, to you???Ferris Lund???capital fellow???brought him down hero to see you. How Is the old gentleman T Ask him to como in and fiuish tho evening with us???you and ho together???or if he's bashful, come yourself and bo sociablo ! we???ll bo eter nally indebted, by Jove!??? there with Lund???s eyes fixed upon his face, he felt that there was no escape; ho must say either one thing or the other. There was still a chance for him to be man onough, by accent ing the lesser shame, to be free from the greater, but he was not equal to the test." ???Well,??? Eaid ho at last, *slnce you will 1 it-no!??? There was a silence. Lund was very pale, his eyes became doll and contracted and ho turned Ids head vaguely first ono way and then another. Finally, however, ho eontrivod to mile in a manner which Would have been ludicrous if it had not been ghastly, and stretching out his hand caught that of Auston in a hard gripe. ???I???m much indebted to you,??? ho said; ???great ly indebted, and I???ve hou a lesson I shan???t forget. I was certaluly a great fool, not only as regards that woman in particular, but all the superstition and sentiment, and silly credulity about signs and omens, which I???m afraid I???ve been cramming * ???That Is Impossible???you must excuse me, ;entlemcD,??? wild Mary Lai ??? , ??? mbert, with a sparkle tn her honest eyes: and the color left her face as Quickly as it had come. ???Do not includo me, Miss Lambert,??? inter* posed Lund auickly. ???I shopld not have pre sumed to make such a request of you. But I shall ask permission to meet your father and you tomorrow.??? Her eyes met his once mofe, for an instant, she sold ???Thank you,??? just audibly, aud the next instant sho was gone. As the door closed tuo two men confronted each other. Both wero angry, but Auston dls- { uised his Irritation in order, perhaps, to givo tthe fuller vent when opportunity offered. He put on a laughing demeanor. ???Isn???t sho a little peach ???? he said. ???Why the douce, my dear fellow, couldn???t you have stopped Into tho next room Tor five minutes ? She had she???d ???Nono ijjB nuvuv you, uuv u i u mm msr mono ive dropped all that directly.??? o of that!??? exclaimed Luna imperious ly. The tone startled Austen, bnt ho passed it over with a sneer. After a moment???s silcnco Lund continued, keening his roico down. ???I don???t want to quarrel with you, Austen, and I can???t explain mycclf in a way you would un-1 dei.si and. But I will tell you this much???that youbg lady who has just guno out has my love, and with her own cuiutciik mid God???s hie I Vuc**n to mako licr u>y Vtfr. It i incredible to you, but you must take JBBI for it; at all events you must oblige mo by not referring to her again in tho tone you uso to- wards other wornon.??? Ansten???a first, and best, impulse had boon to resent this speech in somo overt and practical manner; but before Lund had fluishoa speak ing another Idea had crept into his mind???a jwo-met Just oppoftw the room door; she was about to pass on ono side, with n slight how of recognition, but Lund, sudden ly relinquishing lilt friend???s arm, placed him- ??? self In front of her. haze, unmanly hlcn, which, wo may hope, ho would have discarded had he been sober and in a good humor. Bnt there was a. knavish, depraved streak in the man, and???as will sometimes happen with what is worst with us??? it obtained the mastery of him now. ???My dear air,??? said he, ???I havo no desire to meddle with your property, or with anything that you intend to make yours. You may many the queen of tho Cannibal islands, for all I care, only, you know, considering what I know about???well, about the pcoplo iu this neighborhood; and considering what I was telling you tho minute before???we wero inter rupt* a, yon understand???you must cxcuso mo for being a bit astonished. A fallow doesn???t like to seo n man lie has called hla friend making such a confounded fool???howevor, os you say, it???s no affulr of mine. If that???s your taste, enjoy it in tho dovil???a name J??? Had Lund only been content to let tho mat ter stop here all might have been well. But there was a vague flavor of insinuation In way Into his secret consciousness, injecting a cold misgiving into tho hot current of fits thoughts. Ho struggled against it for awhile, but, after all, It is difficult to stand firm upon a mere intaliiou???to make one???s future pivot upon a dream. On the other hand tho more couvinccd ho was of being in tho right the lees danger was there that anything could { trove him wrung. Was it not wiser to dare to dee the worst that could bo said against It? ???I am not aware that ???there hml been any talk between ns about Miss Lambert,??? said bo. ???I tell you,??? cxcl timed Austen, towing his half-smoked cigar in the fire and thrusting his hands in his pockets, ???I wash my hands of It! If you???re tho aort of fallow who has an nppo- tite for other ucu???s leavings???well, it's noth ing to mo l??? Lund stepped np to him with his eyes glow ing. ???You will either swallow those words or explain them!??? said lie. ??????I'll iIa nnltlinr mO I???ll do neither!??? retorted Austen, dogged ly. ???J know better than to try to save a mad man. Manage the business to suit yourself, aud don???t blame me for it??? ???You said something about 'other men???s leavings' ??? til! what if I did T My leavings if that /Well * WAMMr . suits you better ???Now???bo carefal!??? said Lund in a whis per. Austen laughed. ???This is all very tragic,??? he said, ???but, upon my word, it???s more absurd than tragic to see two sensible men like you and me, who were good friends fivo minutes ???go, glaring at each other???s throats because of good-for-nothing little coquette like Mollle Lambert! _As soon os you come to^yourproper never met him before; and yet there idling not altogther unfamiliar in tho ,i* somo vague anticipa tion of her nature; perhaps, in her secret meditation**, she had figured to her Imagina tion a roan like this. Such a vague Idea would no doubt he stimulated, if wero not alto gether created, by the ^hjtensity and expecta tion of the regard he bent upon her. It was a look that deeply called upon her for response ???that penetrated through formalities, and touched oil in her that was human and femi nine. It drew her towards him; and it was only by n conscious effort that she restrained herself from physical compliance with this nnterounUble summons. Mary Lambert was In the prime of her fresh and comely youth. Classically beautiful she was not; but the softness of her eyes, the gea- senses you???ll ?t??ugh as much as wars, mah! Can???t yon tell a hawk from bandsaw ? Of course, I wouldn???t betray the girl???s eecret without ??? good reason for it; there are five hundred Marys in this town, "and the gtory I told you just now might have applied as well to one as another, so far as yon could over have known. But you have taken, as luck would have it, the one single method pos sible of compelling me to identify her; and I only wish I???d taken you to Land s End or the middle of the English channel, instead of bringing you here!??? Lund drew a deep breath and moistened his Bps. ???Austen,??? mid he, ???you are either tell ing me the troth, or you are telling the moit dastardly lie that ever man uttered; because, if it is a lie, 1 can never know it???I can never prove it on you. 8o I ask you once more???and remember, that what you my I slim'd believe??? I e*k you to tell roe yes or no???is Mary Lim- bert an honest girl or notf Austen began to dislike his position. He hed not supposed that Lund wasjn such dead ly earnest. He had intended merely to throw out an iuuendo which would answer all pur poses and do no particular barm. To be farced to define bis meaning so literally was both un expected and disagreeable. Bat standing _ down your throat for the last few days. But I'm cured. I'm cured finally and completely, and I owe * It to you. So I Propose, my boy, that wo celobrate roy return to sanity by emptying another bot tle, and then I shall put myself under yonr experienced guidance and wo???ll find what aort of fan the old town can give us.??? ???I???m vour man,??? replied Austen, who, in deed, felt the need of somo sort of activity to recupcrato his spirits ; ???but don???t wait to drink the wino here. Put on your hat and come with me. I know a place where wo eon let ourselves out. and meet half a dozen other jolly fellows, too. Como on???I???ll show you how to enjoy yourself l??? The next day, about tho middle of the fore noon, Austen and Lund re-entered the court yard of the inn arm In arm. The former was a trifle unsteady on hla legs, but Lund, to-all appearance, waa in the fall potsession of hia Mnscs, though there was a peculiar dry brightness in his eves, and a nervousness of movement that indicated his having passed a sleepless night. Both men looked rather dis heveled, and Austen, at least, was obviously very sleepy. The suave and unexceptional Horkins met them at the entrance witn an indulgent smile. ???Ah, gentlemen, that was ???ardly treating us aufgcuiivuivu. iua, dm iiuy iroauuj( ua right to be hoff in such an ???urry and mo on my way to the cellar after that bottle of Volnay.

[Concluded.] SOME GREAT JtAUIUT DO01. It has always seemed to me that fox- hunter. air too particular with their dogi in this terror?. It 1* hardly possible to demorallie a thrtoughbred fox hound by ehailng rabbits. At any fide it didn???t damorellzo Harvey Deanli???a, for howerer much they might follow rabbit*, they were always on hand when a red was to Ucxun down, and Rowan was usually at tho front, v ith IJrilo and her daughter Ruth not far away. During tho war, Pam Retd, of Jasper, car ried his rack to Tumwold In Putnamconniy, and hardly a day reared that they were not running rabUtfl but they were none the worse fortbls when the hem sounded to saddle . In tho crisp air of morning. A rabbit could run right under their noacs and get away unmolested. It Is true, nevertheless, that a fox hound Is out of his element when he Is hunting rabbits. Thogamo teems hardly worth the candle. At tho same time, the boys must hare their fon. The rabbits must bo caught, tad there must be dogs tocslch them. Real Ithig this fret, Mr. Joseph A. Turner, of I???mtiam! who Is welt-remembered hi Georgia as a literary man, a lawyer and a politician, and whore strong Individuality was the delight of hla friends and the depatr ofhls enemies, made an effort to secure a rack of dogs fitted for hunting the rabbit. Malt Kilpatrick had among his foxhounds a very pretty specimen of the English harrier, known asjeir.

But Lund hid thrown his arm round Mary Lambert's waist, and with hi* other hand lie opened the door of tho room and drew her In, Austen following. Then Lund set hla hack against thodoorand contemplated hit captlvo with a smile, "Come, now, bit dear, ho as obliging aa you 're all among friends; you know; no concealment: am not I as good looking a fellow os your old admirer hero ? and Isn't va riety tho mice of llfo r???

She stood more erect at this, and, for the tint time, looked at Austen, who leanod against a chair with hla chin on hit breast, biting his lips. ???IIu Hr, Anston anything against mo???? aid she, ???Apeak up, man, and put the busy to shame!?????? cried Lund, savagely- ???It's all a piece of confounded nonsense 1??? muttered tho unhappy creature between bit teeth. ???Fact ia, Mire Lambert???I don???t half remember what happened???but I was drunk and last my temper, and I told him a pack of Ilea, and he???like a fool u he la???awallowod the whole of It I Awfully sorry???beg every body's pardon???but " At this moment his glance happened to fail . /on Land, and he instantly sprang back, raising the chair u he did eo to defend him self. Yet Lnnd bad not as yet stirred from hia place, bnt the expression that had sudden ly stamped itself npon bis features might hare frightened a braver man than Austen. It wu an expression so utterly savage, lost and des perate as to seem scarcely human; and yet It wu the human quality in It that gave It Its meat appalling horror, ???You bare rained me, yon accursed devil, la this world and the next,??? said Lund, in a strange, Ugh voice. ???My dream wu true, while I' wu pare. Now that I???m polluted, ftlrc???the dream???God???everything! and 1 can never And herl But?????? and there hit voice broke Into a wild rear??????I can tear yonr fabo heart out of vour body 1??? and In the same moment he made hla spring. Ansten struck at him with a chair; hut he might es well have struck at an avalanche. For a breath or two there was an indescribable, furious struggle; one coaid only see that It was In ISJnil's favor. They had whirled themselves Into tho vicinity of the fireplace. Just then Austen's foot (Upped; he gave him- keif up for lost, and a cry of terror bmko from him : but It wu that slip that saved hla life. He fell backward*. Lund stumbled and fell over and beyond him with a force that ehcok the bouse; hla hood atruck the iron i orner of the grate, and there he lay, whoso life an Instant before wu so fierce and fran tic, matrclcusly still. It did not seem pus- ilbie be wts deed.

Negro Laborers who Go Wot aud What Becomes of Them, It Is a matter of no little curiosity to many people to know what bccomos of tho hundreds of negro laborers shipped out of North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia every mouth to polnta In Arkansas and Mtalulppl. Hardly a day passes that a party of fifty |to two hundred negroes do not \y Alexander Thwcst shipped fifty, John Hlotighas many more, and yesterday two shipments of nearly tho same number were made from this point. A majority of there negroes came from 8outh Carolina aud tbe re mainder from this state. Last night a CojnrrmrnoN reporter had tho pleas ure of a short talk w ith Mr. Kldridge, a Mlsstarippi cotton planter on the line of the river, a short dis tance below Memphis. Mr. Kldridge was hero awaiting a shipment of about forty negroes from North Carolina, which he expected to arrive by tho i fc lit train over tbe Atlanta and Charlotto Air- JJnc. ???W kstdoyrudo with all those people???? asked Tftg CONSTItUTIOK. ??????Well, we work them on farms and plantations In the Mtadssippl bottoms. 1 plant Individually and on sftarcs 2,100 acres, ami In addition run a More.

The brood term oommorco lias boon defined to mean all Intercourse betweeu the states and all foreign countries. An unbroken package coo be imparted Into a state and the state has no power to tax until the package is broken. When tho package is broken the Mato takes control. This bill makos no excep tions. There Is no prohibition In this bill as to Georgia wine, but there U prohibition m to all other wines. Tho courts have held that uo M one state shall be withheld from the citizens of another state. And If thn net Is unconstitutional on that point ft mint fall, because who can say that without tho domestic wino feature Die lugirtaturo would have passed it or the people havo ratified it. .
