4 TEE WEEKLY" UONSlrfUTION. ATLANTA. GA.. TUESDAY DECEMBER 16 188ft. TWELVE PAGES. THE POLITICAL ZODIAC. Hs Bsosire* a Latter From a Boiton Ifsn-A Feno- sylvsola Soldier Who Took Mr* Arp'* Album Twenty Y**r* Ago Writea ThM He Wishes to Return it- Other Note*. The signs of the polities! zodiac arc hopeful For twenty*five year* they have been in tbo head and neck of tbo republican party. Ariel the ram and Tauru* tbo bull have been butting around generally. Tbo bull toned us up and when we struck the ground and tried to rite again to a perpendicular, tbo old ram took ui from behind and we never bad any chance to get up at all. But we have got up at la??t and whipped tbe fight, and the signs ore now in the republican knees* Capricornua, the goat, ii down OQ^hii marrow bones. Ho wags his beard and shakes his horns, but that's all. And now the stars are moving serenely In the hoavenly belt,and the signs are workiug up the heart and tho breast* Tbe lion will soon rule the roost, a noble beast???the king of beasts???and there will be peace in the land. The signs are work iug up, I know, for to-day Mrs. Arp received a letter from a union soldier in Pennsylvania, telling her that he had her album that was taken from our houso twenty years ago, and carried away as a trophy, and he wants to return it. That is a good sign. Tbe spirit of restitution ii at work, and before long maybe all our valuables will be scut homo' with in terest and back pay. Anno Domini and dom* erratic principles will tell. When Mrs. Arp read the letter* she looked away off dreamily and said, ??????Well, he writes like a gentleman. It is a pretty letter and 1 reckon ito must be a gen tleman," and then, aftor a pause, she contin ued; "But what mndo him keep it so long?" That album was her maiden treasure, for it had sweet words from her schoolmates, and sweeter ones from her lovers, and she has often wondered what anybody wanted with It. We vacated our home in the night, away in the night, at the timo when deop sleep falfctb up on man and all of Mrs.Arw???s literary treasures were hastily bundled together for transporta tion mid were left???loft in the drawer of her beautiful sewing table. Thero wero all the letters from loved ones dead, and loved ones living, and some promising on*** from me, for I promised her everything before I got her. All tbe men do that I reckon, but how many keep them nobody knows but tbo re cording angel. Then thero warn all tho letters I wrote her from tho army???letters that 1 wrote with thoughtful care???for they wero to refresh memory in coming years. They wero notes of bottles and marches and retreats, and of tho killed and uounded whom our people knew and loved???notes of winter life in camp and night alarms nud daily trials and surprises. 1 had hoped to compile from them something that would do to priut in after years, but they to? aro gone. The album will be welcome when it conies, and wo will thank tho gentleman for his kindness. Our boys kept something* too that they captured???soma trophies from the dead tbat would bo door to tho living if we knew them. War Is an awful thing, and whenever I feel like complaining of bad luck or unex pected trouble It is always n comfort to remem ber that it is not so bad as war. It will be a glorious era when the sword Is really put upon the nuvil and made into a plowshare. I had a letter yesterday, another letter that gives a sign, a token of good will. It came from Boston and from a stranger, who says ho read* Tuk Cunstiti tiom weekly, and trial to keep .posted on national politics, and 1 quote from his letter, ver batim, as follows? "I think your letter of tho 3B0?? was too hard on us. You should havn drawn it milder, tor we aro not mad. not a bit tuad, and it grieved me that you had such an opinion of us. 1 atn a merchant, sud meet dally many friends, and with ui all, most all hero in Boston, tho pleasantest thought is the changed ???political aspects in rotation to the peoplo of the couth. Wc aro sincerely glad that vou all like it and cannot help rejoicing with you. 1 have talked with noono who does not ap preciate your rood feelings over your re cent victory???I feel ao sure, notwithstanding 1 have been a republican all my life. In tho lato contest 1 had to look beyond tho candidoto and for tho oako of the g. o. p. I took tho pill and voted for Binine. lie is the style of a mn a to wave tho bloody shirt. Ho la one of the politicians and doea not belong to our rank and filo in Boston. Now let us all try to nucnch tho flames of paaslou and live in peace. Last summer I visited Vir ginia am!

I did not-at-nll liko the uow genera tion, tut the old gray-boarded oues wero poll to and woll mannered and 1 liked them. One evening while at Jtal< tgh I looked in upon the darkeys at a festival and wee entertained, amused and in structed. 1 go to New nrloen* this winter, end shall stop awhile In Atlanta so as to learn more of the south and her people. 1 fouud former visit than BRAVE ELLA REED. How a Brave. Western Olrl Defended Her Father's Home. From the Rocky Mountain News. Heed's ranch did not diflet' materially from hundreds of others in Colorado. The same straggling, one storied structure, perfectly in nocent of paint, with outbuildings looking as If they were ready to tumble down. Tho fam ily consisted, at tho time of this story, of Joe Beed, the proprietor, his wife nnd two chil dren. Kill, the eldest, was a rather pretty girl of eighteen, who for several years had re lieved tbe tired mother of muck of tbo burden of the bouse work, attended tolbedutiesoftbo dairy, nnd was a good horsewoman withal, of- t??-n accompanying her father in rough rides of mllea when looking for atray cattle. Oncea week Mr. freed went to Denver to and tho two women thought nothing of being left alone in the hour* until long Into the night, as the distance to the city made the drive a long one. It wns on one of these even ing* in the early fall, jostujhey had comple ted their nipper uud tho mother was arrang ing the table for the hungry father and son, tbat tbe younger woman went to tho barn, tho back of which was immediately on the road, to see a calf that was sick. Suddenly she heard the voices of men in tbe read near the bTTrfi. Listening and scarcely daring to breathe, she heard the words tbat almost froze h<r with terror. "Tho old man keep* his money box in tho drawer of tho old bureau, but tlio old woman carries tho key." "How caw we get at it?" asked another voice. "We can bind both women, and if they make any noise, we cun atop that." For n moment tho terrified listener was fairly niral- zed with fear; then, she started up, and run ning quickly round to Die back of the houso nnd crawling through nn open window, wont to a close t nnd took from it two revolvers, which wete always kept leaded for cmir- Jfnslily rejoining her mother in the larger room, she was just in timo to see two burly looking ruffians enter by tho dour. Tho tailor of the two men demanded supper, "and let it come quickly, too," ho -??aid, in a menacing tone. The brave girl placed the food on the table, knowing that the scoundrols would ant- li/y their hunger before putting their purpose of robbery, nnd possibly murder, into execu tion. Khe then sat down in front of thorn and watched them. Tho moment their meal was tuple ted, she suddenly thrust tho muV.zle? of the pistole in their faces, threatening to ihoot if they moved. Expostulations ond protestations wero iu vain: tho heroic girl stood there with eyes flashing and determined, for what to nor seemed ages. Tho jkkit mother, os soon nssho comprehended tho situation, overcome by her rest terror, had fainted and was lying on tho lour. At lost the sound of wagon wheels was heard coming toward the bouao, and in a moment the father ond brothor entered the houso in company with nn uncle who hud nrrivod In Denver that day front their old eastern homo in Pennsylvania, end by tho merest ocoidont met Mr. Reed ??n Sixteenth street, in Denver. As soon as they comprehended the situation they compelled the ruffians with revolvers at iclr heads tn submit t> being bound with >nes, nnd when daylight came they were ikon to the couuty sent anti placed in jail. Tbo brave girl, ns soon ns she was relieved cm her terrible guard duty, and tbe horrible straiu ou her nerves was taken off, wont into a succession of hysterical spasms, and It was for weeks that her reason it not her life, was despaired of. She eventually recovered, how ever, and afterwards married a wealthy Den ver gtntleman, and is now liviug in Queen (Tty.

She was so good to the baby that they wouldn???t cr gin her up for no nigger they ever seed, and m c.ue ft never como into ther mines that Jane wanted to steal tho chile. Jane wanted to see her own chillun moa strous hod and wanted to co home, but ever day it got harder and harder for her to leave Leonora.
