HE CARRIES SENATOR BBOWN
AND TALKS TO HIM.
AS OPINION ( F THE SUBJECT OF INTER
VIEWING. ESPECIALLY THE ST, LOUIS
ARTICLE—WHAT THE SENATOR
H\l) TO SAY FOR THE EN
LIGHTEN MENT OF THE
PHILOSOPHER - A
QUARRY OF V
SANDSTONE.
I inteiview d Governor Brown the
ortierd-.y 11 >und him up at the
Buffotd m ucs, nit fur from my
house, hu l 1 interviewed him. I
didu’t do it with inalace ufoce
thought, nor from any special design
for I’ve no v ry high tegard for pro
fessional nie views. I look upon ’em
pretty much as I loon upon a bore
or dead re .t or a d tectlvc or a hiena.
I look upon Vui as a cotton bale
look- upon i cotion gimlet. I don’t
tiliud of cours > to a gi ml manly in
tervieryer wuo is seeking tor light In
a gentlemanly way—liglit. upon
something that concerns the
public an 1 which they ought
to know —light upon public uiat
teis an i puolic measures, such i s
statesmen are wont to t >lk about.
But when an interviewer tuns his
heartless gimlet into evi-ry liitle pri
vate quarrel aud unearths the secrets
of mankind he is feeding a bad appe
tite and lowering the dignity ot the
pieis. That interview of the IS'. Lniis
editor with Mrs. Lmgtry and Freddy
was just shameful and outrageous,
and it is a wonder she didn’t throw
the knives aud forks at him and scald
him with the te r and hot, water that
was on toe table, I read no: lung
ago about a man who was just ab> u
to be hung fir minder, away out in
Kansas, and as the sheriff was tixiug
to swing him off here come a feller
on a horse at the top ot his speed ,
waiving his hand and shouting a
loud as he could ball: “Scop! stop!
wait a minu'e-wait I say!’’ and
everybody taoughi he was a courier
l'rom the governor, aud had a panic u
or a reprieve, and sure enough win n
he rode up he bounced off nishone
and hurried up tbe scaffold steps and
pulled out a pencil and a little book.
aud says he, “now my friend, just, tell
me how you feel ou this soiemu oc
casion.”
When a man gets into deep trouble
they go for hitn with alaciiiy aud run
the gimlet away down imo his vitals,
and the poor fellow submits to it be
cause he is as humble as a dog. and
is afraid tha if he don’t answer, the
paper will obu-e him or make him
out, wore that he is.
I founu.the governor and his pa
tnarehal beard upon the side of an
Iron mountain that overhung hi
railroad. He stretched forth hish md
and said: ‘ I heiieve there is more
iron ore and better ore in ten miles
square arouu.. u- 'ban in any other
equal area in the United Btaie3, and
then besides, ih. te is a worid ot

about the tar ff. He did not feel that j

thought he g'*- thorn cheap enough, (
and as ther-w .8 no fed-ral tax gather

content. But now even an illiterate j
farmer has found out that be could
j buy a good double-barrel shotgun
fur tpn dollars if it tvas not for the
tariff, aud a pocketkniie for half its
present price, and most anything else
in proportion, and so he is just get
i ling ready to make a tuss and hold
j his member of cougress responsible
for his aciiou. Bo you see the mem
bers have got to steer their cratt be
tween Scylla arid Charybdis—be
tween the manufacturing industries
ou the one side and the users and
consumers oa the other, aud it is go
ing to be a difficult thing to do,”
About this rime M ijot Wells came
up and says he, “Governor. I wish
you hadent put these stick and mud
chimneys to those houses. They are
good houses, well built, covered with
shingles, but those dirt chimneys
spoil the looks of the little town.”
“Now, major,” said the governor,
that is just because you haven’t been
raieea right. You liv.-d too line in
your youth. It you had been raised
as 1 was you would know batter. A
stick and mud chimney well built is
the best sort of a chimney and be
sides there are no btick in tbe nabor
hood and we have Dot got time to
make them. I reckon you will be
wanting glass windows and a light
ning rod the next time I see you.
Now there is not a negro who will be
living in these twenty houses who
ever lived in as good a house before
aud there is no use wasting money
on fancy ideas.”
“Never mind,” said ihe major,
“There is a quarry of good sand-tone
right over yonder, and yvbeu the iirst
cabin catches a fire from these old
chimneys I am going to rebuild them
with rock.”
“All right, all right,” said the gov
ernor, “but mind you don’t sat one
ou tire on purpose, just to get a
chance to spend some more money.”
This is av> ry oi l business, this
iron busiuess, the oldest, I reckon, in
the world except fanning, and they
(ould’nt farm mmh even in old
Adam’s day without iron. They
w rried along somehow until Tubal
Ciin came along, f r ilia scriptures
soy he was the father of ail those
who worked in iron and brass. He
must have b-en a wonderful man.
Our folks are mighty smart, I know,
but I would like to see the smartest
of ’em set down by this iron moun
tain without a single tool and be
told to rig up a b'acksmith’s shop
and go to making plows aud hoesand
w.igon tire. Posterity hasn’t done
the old f-llow Justice. The iron men
ought to hold a convention and pass
some complimentary resolutions,

they ought to build the biggest fur

, A MuTKODItT MINE.
COLONEL BIXBY’S PHINANTHROPY -HOW
LEADING LIUUTS OF THE CHURCH WERE
TAKEN IN.
The N »w York ILtrald of yesterday
devotes three columns 10 the history
of tne Isabella silver mining compa
ny, into wbicu. it is stated, a latge
"umber of leading Methodists in
New York and elsewh rs were
drawn, an i in which a large amount
of rnouev has been sunk, l’ho com
pany was incorporated a number of
years ugo under tue mining laws of
California, and had a nominal capdai
of $10,000,000. The owneis were Ban
Francisco capitslisis, among
them Colonel H. G. Bixby,
who, it ia claim d, worked the
mines long enough to become
satisfied of iueir worthlessness. IGv.
John F. Bpence, presid-nt of the
Ea-tTenneHßC Wesleyan University,
at Athens, was made to believe, how
ever, that there were millions iu the
mines, aud Prof. Caldwell, chemist
aud mineralogist in the Wesl-yau
University, was sent out to examine
them, and reported that they were
eveu richer in ore than they had been
represented. In the summer of 1878
D . Bpence an I Professor Oa dwell
calmd on liev. Dr. Newman, i astor
of the Seventh Avenue Methodist
Church iu New York, and introduced
CoioLel Bixby, who Dr. Bpence sd i
had decided to endow tne Methodist
Episcopal University at Athens with
a gift ol $200,000 or S3OO 000 us mining
stock. Colonel Bixby admitted
there were seme incumbrances
on the piop-i'ty, but he
wanted to raise $50,u00 to put the
mine in working older. Dr. New
man was so favorably impressed that
he invested SI,OOO in the stock, and
Bishop Sinii s n followed with S6OO.

open their eyes. Btiil there were en
couraging reports, and 'be Alice
mine, aljel' ing the Isabella, was
purchased. L tet Mar h, even the pre
'eoae of working the Isabella was
abandoned, though it is hoped
the Alice mine will still prove
good property. The Isabel a

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Has Any State Lost a Colored Treas
urer?
Macon Telegraph.
“Do you know of aDy State in the
Union that has a colored treasurer
who has absconded?”
The above query was hurled at us
by Lieutenant Wylie, of the police
force. We couldn’t remember any
Siate that had been so unfortunate,
and then he explained how officer
Jim Moore had arrested Robert
Plant, a negro with a complexion the
color of tar.
Robert dropped his heavy feet into
Macon unly a few days ago, aud put
up at a negro boarding house on
New street. Ou Thursday afternoon
ue went into J. H. H-riz’s clothing
store and bought a pair of pants for
$5,25. tendering a new SIOO bill. Mr.
Engel, tne salesman, took the bill
out to get it changed and also to see
if it was genuine. It proved to be
all right, and tne change was given
him, Tnen he went to the Empire
Sotreand bought a trunk Hnil num
ber of articles and had SIOO changed.
Hr next want to Winship & Callawy
aud bought a $25 suit of clothing and
riuo'her one hundred dollar bill
came to sight. Then he went to
Retelu’s jewelry establishment and
bought a wa'ch an i some earrings,
and presented another one hun
dred dollar bill. Previous to these
purchases he pawned a one hundred
dollar bill at M. B. Pollock’s, on
Fourth srree, for $5. Iu addition to
this heseuta boy named Albert An
drews to the Capital Bank and had
ihree one huudred dollar bills
changed.
bo many one hundred dollar bills
utusedthe police to suspect that all
was not well witn Robert, He was too
lavish with his wealth, and officer
Moote arrested him about noon,
while stahbiug talking mar Mae
uold’s corner.
LieutaLaut Wylie and officer
Moore then set about to see
where he had purchased so much
Hue clothes and tricks, wfih the
above r-suit. At first he would not
own up to any crookednets, but
finally said that he found the money
on Doboy Island, near Dirien, but
mat it belonged to Mr. John Mal
com, wno runs a saw mill on the is
land.
His trunk was taken from the ne
gto tio'el, ani when rxamiued was
found to con ain besides the clothing
a variety ot uod>rwear, collars, cuffs,
cravats, etc. He Lad with him also a
valise,
The officers recovered about
$825 of money, some of wbiou
was in the trunk, e.me on
hD person, and the three bundled
dollars he had given Aloert Andrews
to gut changed. R >bert says ne found
$i 2tJO, but had spent some of it be
fore be came to MacOD. He says he
secured this treasure trove abjut a

TOIvI OCHILTREE’S DEFICIT.
' HIS SALARY AS CONGRESSMAN MAY BE
HELD TO MAKE GOOD A DEFAULT WHEN
MARSHAL.
Washington, February 10.—The
electlou of “Colonel” Thomas P.
; Ochiltree as a member of cougress
from Texas has been a matter of
surprise to those acquainted with his
record while United States marshal
under President Grant’s administra
tion. Ho was appointed ia 1873, aud
when his accounts came in tor set
tlement it was discovered that there
was a defalcation of $8,190. The gov
ernment was compelled to bring suit,
aud Ochiltree was removed from of
fice. Two judgments were obtained
against ms sureties, for $10,250.
These judgments are as yet unsads
fied. No effort was made towards a
settlement until the “colonel” was
elected to congress by the influence
or the Galveston Wharf company.
This concern monopol zes all the
water front of the city of Gaivestou,
and wants a large appropriation
from congress to improve its proper
ty. Ochiltree announces, therefoie,
on all occasions, that he is for the
old (lag and an appropriation.
When elected to congress an alarm
ing fact presented itself. The juig
meuts against the ex marshal just
covered the amount of the congress
man elect’s salary for the full term.
No pay could be drawn while these
judgments stood unsettled on the
books of the government. A com
promise became a desirable abj-ct.
To this end Mr. Ochiltree has been
devoting his atteadon ever since his
arrival in Washington. He offers
ssuo for a release, claiming Chat this
Is ail he is able to pay. The SSOO is
deposited iu the solicitor’s office ac
cording to the requirements of law.
The official has written to the district
attorney at. Galveston for informa
tion on the subject before giving an
opiui mon ihe case. When the facts
are all before him l o will decide.
If “Colonel” O.iheiltree’B proposi
non is rejected his salary as a mem
b-r of cougress will be forfeited uu
-1 as a release is secured in some
other way than that now proposed.
A sketch of Prince Bismarck, in
the Hour, has this interesting p ira
grapu: The Prince is a most affec
tionate husband and father, and his
letters to his sister, Countess Arnitu.
prove that hois devoted to her also.
At school and at college ho had
many friends, but in la'o years they
have become very few indeed. Among
the fiiends at college whom he still
names with regret was an American,
au'horof the Rise of the Dutch Re
public, John L ithrop Motley. The
Prince’s rtdigious principles h ive un
dergone a change. Iu early years he
inclined towards the philosophy of
Suintz i and Hegel, but at present he
must be called a pious man in the
purest sense of the word. In many
loiters to his wife he expresses regret
at the unbelief of his younger years,
an 1 lie says that be cannot conceive
how any one who will not believe in
God and eternal life should be able
to bear mortal exis’ence. During the
night which followed the bat.iio of
S dan and preceded Bismarck’s inter
view with N rpoleon HI., be read for
hours in a prayer-book. In a speach
during dinner upon a festive occa
sion, Bismarck declared 11 tat without
his faith in God he should have given
up his post long ago. It was not the
desire to obey his worldly master but
his Heavenly Father that made him
put up with so many sotrows and
grievances.

FILES.
PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight In the back, loins and low
er part of the abdomen, causing the pa
tient to suppose he has some affection of
the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptons of indigestion are pre- •
sent, as flatulency, uneasiness of ths
stomach, eto. A moisture, like perspira
tion, producing a very disagreeable itch
ing, particularly at night after getting
warm In bed, Is a very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Plies yield at
once to the application of Dr. Boeanko's
Pile Remedy, whloh acts directly upon
the parte affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the Intense Itching, and effecting
a permanent cure, where alt other reme
dies have railed. Do not delay until the
drain on the system produees permanent
j disability, but try It and be cured. Priee
; 50 cents. Sent pre-paid on receipt of prloe.
