From Our Regular Correspondent.
Nantucket, Mass ,
August 23rd, 1880.
When one steps foot on this Island ho lit
erally enters another world. It is totally
unliko nny other spot on the American
continent. The very first Inspiration of
this highly-seasoned ocean air makes an
other man of him. lie may have been
heretofore insensible to atmospheric or
psychologic changes, but Nantucket will
Start the most obstinate nerves to tingling.
Various roasons have been ascribed for
this, prominent among them being the
theory of its thorough isolation from
land. There is nothing to absorb or dis
turb the wonderful purity of tho ocean
ozone. It Is fresh, endurlug and unsullied.
It is an antidote to malaria, and tho system
feels the blessed effeot immediately. Then
Unsold sea girt town Is so differrent from
any other town under the sun. • Its great
roomy, old fashioned, picturesque houses,
its atmosphere of antiquity, its fresh
faced erect, youug-old men, who pan lift
as heavy loads at seventy-live as when
they were forty, its ruddy, agreoable
healthy women communicate a feeling of
comfort to the tired spirit which is impose!
ble to aaalyze or describe. No inhabitant
of Nantucket could ever be mistaken for
one of the visitors. The last is usually
haggard and hurried. The uativo Is slow
and passive. He eloeps aud eats and as*
simHates his food Is is said that codfish
and cookies compose their diet but I am
sure that this is an exaggeration. At auy
rate, this is not tho case when the natives
have company, for nowhere have I ever
found more succulent or better cooked veg
etables, fresher or more nicely prepared
fish. The latter article of food Is some
times very hard to obtain as "tho beating
waves clarfh high,” 1 upon the Nantucket
shores, and careful sailors will not risk
their lives for "a mess of llah.’’ But blue
fish arc plenty here ami most delicious.
Sword llsh aro considered a groat delica
cy also.
The Islanders do not like to admit tho
presence of fog. It is mist and smoke but
by no means og. That word seems to set
the native crazy. One ofd resident a cross
between a son of Neptune and a tiller of
the soil, informed me that the mist which
had materialized so that It could be sliced
or made Into Ush-balls was simply “steam
escaping from the gulf stream.” This was
the most unique explanation that I ever
heard of auy thing lu any part of the coun
try, and I have heard u good many fanciful
and original ones. I was much amused
and surprised to find this theory somewhat
coroborated by Ilev. Dr. John Hall of New
York, who told mo that the unusual
warmth o! Nantucket winters and the soft
ness and evenness of the atmosphere could
be attributed to the Influence of the Gulf
current, which was, so to speak, in the im
mediate neighborhood. He also reminded
•me of a fact which I had forgotten, that the
life of Hon. Chus O'Connor had Usen, hi the
opinion of his physicians, lengthened at
least ten years t>\ taking up his residence
at Nantucket. The house of this once emi
nent lawyer is now occupied by a wealthy
New Yorker, Tillinghast, by name. It Isa
handsome, roomy modern villa, with noth
ing wonderful about it except Its library
and its beautiful situation. Mr- O'Uonor
used to spend much of bis time in bis li
brary, a wing at the South sl<J« or. the
house, where ho was always safe from In
trusion.
The drivers of the numerous vehicles
that convoy guests from one ipoint to an
other in this historic and charming old
town, seem to embody all tho recklessness
to be found in the place. In fact, It Is the
ouly opot on earth that 1 have ever vUlted
where the horses climb trees to get out of
the way of other teams. Of course tills
statement will bo pooh-pooed by my read
ers, but what would they have thought to
have been driving along like iuad In
a street only wide enough foe one car
riage, to meet another rushing on at a
similar rate, aud then in the midst of their
astonishment and fright, to have Jehu pull
his fiery steed upon Ms haunches, his fore
legs frantically embracing the truuk of an
oak tree, his grei twhlte head apparrently
up among tho branches'
I use tho word "apparently” with Inten
tion. That is for tho literal soul, who will
cry out “impossible," what a yarn." etc.,
etc., I do not say that tho horse’s head was
among the branches, but appoared so. I
am free to confess that I had rather seo a
cat elfmb a tree than a horse- But there
was no harm done, and when I had caught
my breath and sottled my belongings—my
umbrella must have made n dent In Jehu's
back for which I was inwardly thankful—
I ventured to remark that I should profor
not to hunt birds' nost with a horse. The
driver opened Ills wide New England
jaws and laughed long and loud. ’’Good
Lord, inarm” he said at last. "You Just
ought to soe me sometimes. Nobody never
takes my wheel off as long as there s door
steps and fences to shin up on."
"And trees i 1 " said I.
"Yes maim, and trees," ho responded
with another laugh that’mlght have been
heard at Capo Cod.
Well, I engaged this Jehu on the spot for
all subsequent trips. I felt that bis skill
had been thoroughly tested aud if I had
escaped breaking my nock this time, my
life was as good as insured. 1 once rode
behind the great “Dexter, aud as It was a
windy day I had to hold my hat on with
both hands, but behind this Nantucket
"hoss,” I was compelled to hold my hair
on—and not false hair elthor.
Miss Georgina Flagg tho very pretty
woman who played so acceptably at Daly’s
a few years ago, lives in one of tho oldest
and most picturesque houses In tliisaucient
aud most picturesque of villages. Tho
"peace" of Nantucket for tho tired out ac
tor, writer or artist, truly "passes under
standing.” Tho poetic conditions necessa
ry to tills peace aro all present, and the
temperature and evenness of the climate,
make it a very Eden.
Tho oraze for the antique must beat its
height, Every other store iu Nantucket is
devoted to aucient furniture. It Is charg
ed by some skeptics that much of this stuff
Is Imported, and is really not antique; but
In ail reputable places I found that the
names of the original owners are given,
asd tho families can be looked up with the
greatest ease, Thh prices of these much
sought for articles vary exceedingly. I
wanted a pnlr of old brass andirons and
tongs and shovel, but the prices lu two or
three stores seeindd so exhorbltant that I
finally gave up ull Idea of purchasing.—
*- i3r •
But at lost In looking for something else,
I found exactly what I wanted at a most
reasonable price.
The steamers that, run between New
Bedford and Nantucket are sea-worthy and
comfortable, but I could not help wonder
ing why, with so much travel they were not
larger and finer. I thought of the Connec
ticut tho magnificent new steamer, built
by Providence A Stonlugton Steamboat
Company for the Providence line of Boston
amt ns Mrs. Partington once remarked,
"(be comparison was odorous." Tim grand
boats of the Inst two decades sink Into Insig
nificance, when compared with this great
white marine wonder, rising as she does
upward of sixty feet above the water line,
aud showing a length over all of 357 feet ami
an extreme width over guards of 87 feet.
Tho Impression made upon the minds of
the passengers who board the “Connecti
cut" Is one of delight and wonder that
anything afloat could be so magnifi
cent. After ascending to the deck, with Its
grand height from lloor to dome of 30 feet,
and with a view of the main saloon with
its double tier cf hundreds of state looms,
every one of which Is thoroughly ventila
ted and lighted with electricity, the won
der Is enhanced a thousand fold. The
rooms are all marvels of elegance and com
fort, and some of them, notably 118, is a
boudoir lit for a princess. This apartment
is as large as an ordinary bedroom. It bas
an alcove and is furnished with a brass
bod stead, bamboo chairs, lovely potlores
opening upon a commodious bath room.
There Is not a room from stem to stern that
Is not exquisitely furnished, airy and do-
Ughtful to the eye. The dining room Is as
large as a first class hotel, and the charges
not one whit higher than those of any good
restaurant, while tho cuisine Is sans re-
proche.
Tho sail through tho sound around Point
Judith just asdaydawns, and thenceun the
Narragansett Bay to Providence, Is a de
lightful and invigorating experience, and
the round trip Is a vacation lu Itself. This
is the best route to the White Mountains.

The preliminary surveys of a rail
road to run from Jaffa on the seacoast

purely business enterprise without a
trace of geutiiuent of religious fervor.

FLEMING G. DU BIGN0N.
THE PBE8IDENT OF THE BTATE SEN
ATE OF GEORGIA
And Ponible Candidate for Qovar-
nor—Career of a Brilliant and
Popular Young Man.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
During the memorable Colquitt
convention in Atlanta nine years ago
this month, si number of young men
occupied seats on the floor and re
mained throughout the contest, hold
ing to the instructions of their county
and maintaining their choice for gov
ernor .
fine of these delegates was Flem
ing Urantlund duBiguon, who with
Parish Furman, cast the two votes of
Baldwin county for “the hero of Olus-
toe.’’ They were a prominent and
striking pair. Vigorous in body, ag
gressive iu temperament, prominent
anil intellectual, they were leaders in
looal polities around Milledgeville.
Even at that time bot,h had been
judge of the countr court. Furman
who was older than duBlgnoii, had
been a member of the Constitutional
convention of 1877, and the latter
was making bis first appearanceJn
state politics. His reputation as a
graceful, polished and forcible speaker
accompanied him there, for when the
majority, or Colquitt forces looked
around for an eloquent man to make
their final appeal for hrarmony anil a
nomination, they selected young “du-
Bignon, of Baldwin.” I happened to
be on hand reporting tho proceedings
foi Tlie Chronicle, and roomed with
these young men. I remember lying
awake, between the mosquitoes and
midnight, listening to duBiguon frame
some sort of address for next day.
He had only one night’s notice, aud
I recall that the synopsis which I
heard forming Itnelf in his uiind—aud
which he would repeat to Parish Fur-
mau--wuB full of fine points, and
striking passages. Next day the
proceedings took a different turn and
the speech was not made, much to
everybody’s disappointment, except
duBiguon himself.
That fall Fleming duBiguon went
to tlie Legislature. It wus the year
that Davenport Jackson, Warren.
Mays and II. D. D. Twiggs were elect
ed from Riohmotid. I remember a
speech made by duBiguon in behalf
of an appropriation fitting the “old
capitol” up for the Middle Georgia
Military anil Agricultural college. It
was full of pathos and eloquence,
short, ringing and decisive, for he got
his appropriation and cuptlvated the
House. He had the rare good sense
not to strain his ready eloquence. He
spoke but seldom; attentively looked
to his committee work, and was mark
ed as a rising member. At that time
he was but 28, with short square fig
ure, smooth face, strong classical fea
tures, blue eyes and his light brown
hair he wore brushed straight back
from his forehead. In the summer
session of 1881 duBiguon aud War
ren Mays roomed together, and my
own room at tlie Kimball house open-
end into theirs. I saw much of those
two gifted aud sohoiarly young Geor
gians. Both were studious and each
man had a decided taste for politics.
They were very close in their friend
ship which was only broken by tlie
deatli of Warren Mays.
In 1882 I again reported the winter
session of the Legislature, and du-
Bignon hud been elected state sena
tor from the Twentieth district; com
posed of the counties of Baldwin,
Hancock and Washington—the same
district that Mr. Northen had rep
resented two years before. Into this
Senate duBignon entered with a good
deal of prestige. Hie brilliant record
in tbe House, his easy mastery of his
district while only twenty-eight years
old, made him very prominent and he
had a number of friends who wanted
to see him elected right then to the
presidency of the Senate, A majority
of the members, I believe were com
mitted to Hon. James S. Boynton,
who also presided over the last Sen
ate. Boynton was re-elected unani
mously by acclamation; but few peo
ple outside of the Senate knew how
near duBignon would have come to
defeating him had he finally made
tlie race. It was this very election
which made Boynton governor of
Georgia when Mr. Stephens died the
following March, although nobody
was then thinking of the succes
sion.
But if Fleming duBignon had been
chosen president of the Senate Geor
gia would have had u#ioy governor In
1883. Had he secured this promotion
he would have been a harder man to
beat than was Governor Boynton,
whose application for a judgeship,
under Bullock barred him from being
his own successor. If Senator Brown
were to die or to resign today Govern- *
or Gordon would be chosen senator
and tlie young president of the Senate,.
Fleming duBignon, would become
governor forthwith. He,is very strong
with the young Democracy and the
man who would supplant him would
have to make a “rattling campaign,”
In the Senate of 1882 Mr. duBiguon<
was chairman of tlie judiciary com
mittee, and was virtually in charge
of the legislation of tho upper House.
Although young, he proved himself
skilled aud resourceful and made o»
career which for strength, influence
and brilliancy lmd not been surpass
ed by McDaniel and Meldrim, the
leaders of that body in 1880. He is-;
very bold and fearless; his impetuouA
nature has been toned down by years
and responsibility, and his friend*-
know him to be a man of houor an
fine sensibilities.
In 1885 Fleming duBignon moved to
Savannah and was almost immediate
ly elected solicitor general to succeed
Mr. Charlton, who resigned. DuBig-
non was so popular before the Gener
al Asseembly that ho eould have
boen elected judge or solioitor in al
most any district lie had selected.
His high character and splendid abil
ity were recognized all over the state
and his electi. n was eminently satls-
ractory in Savannah-his old home-
by the way. As solicitor general he-
added to his reputation and was prom
inently spoken of for congress from
the First district last summer. His
election to the Senate from the First
district was without solicitation on,
his part.. He was chosen presiding
officer immediately upon the orgauiza-
tion of that body, and it is a further-
evidence of his own streugth to say
tliatfhls law partner was elected soli
citor general to succeed him in the-
Eastern circuit.
DuBignon is recognized as a guber
natorial quantity uiready. He has;
not announced himself, but is attend
ing to his -duties as presiding officer
with dignity and ability. His manage
ment of the two houses in joint as
sembly is said to be marvellous inx
case and tact. He is making no com
binations, bas organized no following
but commencing witii tbe member*
of the Legislature and stretching
down to each county, among the-
young men of the state, he has a large-
and enthusiastic following. How far-
the candidacy of Mr. Nortlien and o*
Mr. Livingston may affect duBignon’*
candldaoy. if he runs, cannot be es
timated. What effect this division of
the farmer’s streugth may have can —
not now be told. It is not improba
ble that in the near future. Savan
nah may break the spell which seem
ed to He against Jackson, Lawton
and Lester and elect a governor sure-
enough.
Fleming duBignon comes froa*
Huguenot stock. His father, C&pt-
Oharles duBignon was born anct
reared on Jekyl island, near Bruns
wick. His mother, whom be is saidk
to resemble in character and disposi
tion, is the daughter of Hou. Sea
ton Grantland. Young duBignon was
educated at the Virginia Military in
stitute, then attended for a year the-
University of Virginia. After gradua
tion, he travelled in Europe. He wae
admitted to the bar in Savannah,,
and in 1875; he married the daughter
of Col. Chas. A. Lamar.
It is enough to say that the guber
natorial election is fourteen months-
off, and that there is a tremendous
power in reserve.
