years. Toombs and Stephens and Ben Hill

wondered if this present generation would

great contest looms up and agitates the
nation. There were great issues before
the people whtu these men and their
cotemporaries camo.to the front. Bat for those
lames they might have moved along ae smart
men and good lawyers, hat made no great rep
utation as Double men and tribunes of tho
people. In fact tome of them were naturally
Indolent—not .indolent of mind but non-ag
gressive. They preferred to read and study
and ponder and philosophise rather than take
the field in action. They loved scholarship
and they were acbolars. No man can bo great
without being a scholar.
Webster and Uboato and Calhoun wore
splendid scholars—stndonts of history and mis
ters of the languav' i, but Clay was not and
hence Clay’s speecuta will not comparo with
theirs when you read them. He wes a good
orator but not much of a statesman. He
lacked the eoholanhip. Ail of the old time
statesmen won lino scholars. Fickney end

Still, we have some very polished onltared
men in Georgia, but they don’t take much
stock in politics. They would llko to bold

for it. Dr. Felton • is a ripe scholar,

comments. Ho did not gallop over it like
moat of us. Ho reads for study and digestion.
I wonder how many Georgia boys have
read Macanley, But I expect that Mr.
C. C. Jones, of Augusta, is the most
accomplished eobolsr in the state, and I know
ho is one of her noblest and moat useful citi
zens. Such men are ulways unpretentous and
hardly ever get their Just deservinge until thoy
are dead. J. C. G. Black Is another polished

Broaddus, who knows allthe tacts, hss given mo
the particulars of the capture and killing of Booth.
In hisfllght firom Washington, alter the
atlon of President Lincoln, Booth met in King
George county a young man named Xett, an ex-
confederate soldlorof good family. Young Jett agreed
to act as guide to Booth and Harold la
their way through King George and Caroline coun
ties. The trio ctcmedlhc Rappahannock river into
in the afternoon, and Jett tried .to secure lodgings
for them In Port Royal, a Tillage on tho Caroline
side ot the river. Falling lit this, Jett conducted
Booth and Harold to the house of Mr. Ucnrr Gar
rett, Who lived three miles from rort Royal on the
read Hading to Bowliag Green. Aftoraome hesita
tion, Mr. Garrett consented to take them for the
night, Jett having represented that they were con

to their mom and retired early to bed. -Becoming
laspietous of Jett because he had left them. Booth
and, Harold awoke young Mr. Garrett, -who bad
reached home a few day* before from hU surrender.
They informed -young Garrett of tholr purpose to
leave the house end sleep in the woods. Hcrcmon-
stinted with them, thinking they were really what
they had been represented to be-ex-confbderate
soldiers; but, finding they were dc*.
let-mined to leave the house, ho sug
gested that they had better stay In the tobacco
honse, which was quite a large and new building
near the bsun-yard, This they consented to do,
youog Garrett showing them the way. Not know
log who they were, and having his suspicions
aroused by their refusal to stay lathe dwelling
house, young Garrett locked the door of the tobac
co house, fearing they might leave during tho
night and take some of his father's horses, whloh
were sadly needed for family purposes.
Sometime after midnight, old Mr. Garrett was
aroused from sleep br a call a. lili
front door. Going out he found his house sur
rounded by a troop of federal soldiers, and lilmsolf
confronted by their captain, with a demand that
be show them where Booth end Harold were. Mr.
Garrett informed them that two men were lit the
house, but ho did not know who they were, and
showed the room In which he supposed them lobe.
Faijlng to find them there tho . federal
soldiers became enraged, placed
rope around Mr. Garrett's neck, and were
about to hang him, when young Garrett, having
been awakened by the noise, came down from his
room end interferred to prevent them from doing
hurt to his father. Learning now, for the first Umc,
who the men wctc. he informed tho captain that
they were in the tobacco house end gave them tho
key. _
Thereupon, the soldiers made a rush for tbebarn-
yard, surrounded the tobacco house, unlocked the
door and found Booth with a gun at bis shoulder
readytosellbisltfcasdcarly as possible. There
wes not one of the soldiers that would
venture to face him, so they set fire to tho house,
hoping to drive him out Harold's courage tailed
hire, and he came out and surrendered. Booth'
still remained with his gun at his shoulder, when
Boston Corbett, one of the federal soldiers, having
found a knot-hole In the aide of the bunting build
ing, put bis gun through snd shot Booth, Infitctlng
a wound similar to tho ono Booth had Inflicted on
President Lincoln, the ball entering behind the
ear. When Booth fell, the soldlors took him to tho
porch of the dwelling-house. He 'died In a short
time, while speaking or bis mother to Miss Oar-
rett, who was bathing bis head.
From the first Jett was suspected or betraying
Booth, bnt he denied it most positively. Public
opinion, howeTcr, settled down Into the better that
ho did, end he was so generally shunned by his
former associates thathe left Virginia) and went to
Baltimore to live. Hr. Broaddns says ho Is inform
ed on good authority that Jett haa confessed that he
betrayed Booth and that his lire hss been embit
tered by remorse. It is also stated that he has
been sent to an asylum, his mind having given
way.

such things are, by these travelers, set down of
course as regular Incidents of southern llfo. If they

poor little load of wood, guided by a cotton or bemp

The top of this flight southward Is retched In this
month, and Its tendency is towards higher figures
etch year. The reports of railroad and steamship
companies show that 125,000 northern people visit
ed Georgia and Florida last year, end thus for this
season the south-bound travel has been unusually
heavy. The sire of the flight depends to Mma ex
tent upon the severity of the weather In the north
ern states—very many turning southward at the
last moment on account of a heavy cold or other
trouble -or symptom, becked up of
courso by e chronic desire to avoid some
of their own arctic weather. Tho
northwest it beginning to furnish as many seek
ers of balmier weather u tho northeast does; end
when one or two families In a community spend a
whiter In the south, therein apt to he a larger
flight from that community during the following
winter. The desire to avoid extreme cold weather
Is wclbnlgh universal in the states of frost and ice.
Tho long touthem lines ofratlroad reap a rich
and much-desired harvest from the winter move
ment. The tare paid by these health or pleasure
seekers exceeds half a million dollars, and the
competition Is very keen. There ere two Florida
lines that do not pttsa throughout city, but It is
almost impossible to keep new comers from visit

however.
These pilgrimages result la the courso of years in
a gain of permanent residents. Nearly every year,
for example, some of these birds of passage remain
In or around Marietta or Thomasrtne, and never
return to their old homes exeept as visitors. But
Florida la the chief beneficiary, and when Florida
Is filled with settlers, the overflow wlU seek the
lower Georgia counties. Even the most casual ob-
es that Florida Is rapidly fitting up with
pennanent residents; and south Georgia will )soon
feel the tide. These unquestionable tacu conflict
with the pet theory ot the fit. Louis Republican,
namely, that the lowlands of the south ere to be

Washington, January 8.—[Special Corre-

lost whaler, ‘'Amethyst, ” by tho reTenno steamer
"Bush," which sailed from San Franciaco a few
days ago, will Axraish another of those painfully
Interesting eplaodes of Arctic suffering, with which
the civilized world haa been forfeited in the past
few yean.
In Washington lives an Arctic explorer, around
whoso life tlmo and circumstance have woven a
romance that haa few parallels In our practical
times. 1 refer to Dr. Emil Bessels, an accom
plished physicist and naturalist of Heidelberg,
who accompanied Captain Charle* F. Hall on
on his third and last expedition toward the polo on
the HI feted ‘TpltrU.” Dr. Bessel* was told direc

His plausible representations of the pomblltyof

pole induced the appropriation for fitting out this
expedition. This was tho aim and ambition of
Captain Hall’s life, and ho expressed It in tho pas-j

Ono of tho passengers on » St. Psdl train
was a man neither young nor old. nis faco wm
youthfol ;but bk hair wm turning gray, Uk skin
wm bright aud smooth, but there.wm a queer look
upon hkfeco. He sat goring out of tho wlodow,
moUoole« and rigid. Hk eyos rarely winked, and
hk gaze wm an empty stare. Presently he turned,
for the fintllmo in an pour, and reached Into a

blue eyes and a handsome little gown. The other
gem looked and wondered. Then tho man
_.fthe doll to bk breast, pressed Ik china
cheek against his, kissed Us paintedllps, smoothed
its flaxen hair, gazed Into Its glasaejos, and talked
to the ears tbarcould not hear. The other pasaen-
gen Uttered and began to make remarks. There
wm a grin upon every face and a J<:*t upon every
‘ ngue. Rut Just then the brakaman came laasa
—la up his hand to attract attention, and placed
bk finger to his Upe, enjoining silence.

man to three orfoor who fathered about him, "an'
you ought to be ashamed olyevselves. I know that

th many a time, an* they were lovely. But
one day, when he was out on tne road, be received
a telegram telling him to harry home. Before he
could get there bia wife wm dead. Two days later
the little girl followed her mother. There wm no
one left for him to love but the doll hU little girl
use to play with, an' he packed that up with his kit
when ho went out on tho road. There wasn’tnoth-
In'for him to do but to go on with his work, an’
