The Calhoun Times. VOL. 11. Eva, the Masons Daughter. CHAPTER I. Faster and faster sped the flames, and now the ship was enveloped in a fiery sheet. Men and women rushed madly over the side, to seek a quicker hut less painful death. The boats, with one exception, had been overloaded and capsized There were hasty prayers.and heart-rending cries of misery and dis tress. Deatlrhovered, vulture-like,over his victitns; some clung desperately to the vessel’s side, some supporting them selves in the water by articles snatched hastily from the burning ship, and with which they leaped wildly into the sea. The Captain sang through his trumpet: “take heart, and sustain yourself as long as possible. A ship is coming to our relief.” James Durant stood upon the almost deserted deck, with his only child, but four years of age, folded closely in his arms, llis eyes swept the horizon in search of the ship to which the captain had alluded. He discoverd it at length, but it was at least four miles off'. Be fore the ship could arrive they must be burned to death; or, if he sprang as others did down into the water, both he and the child would be drowned, for he was not a swimmer. The little arms were twined about his neck, the pale cheek rested confidingly against h s own, but the brave child did not tremble. “Oh, my God, is there no help ?” cries the despairing father, as the flames swept nearer, and he felt that his present po sition could be held but a little longer. “Here, give the child to me, and I will save her,” and turning quickly, Mr. Du rant stood face to face with a stranger who held a life preserver in his hand. “Quick ! there is no time to be lost. The child can have my life preserver, and it will float her oasily. Yonder is another ship ; I have been watching it for the last five minutes. It will reach us in half an hour at the most. There, that is fastened securely. Now, little girl, I am going to throw you into the water. l r ou are not afraid ?” “Oh, no, but my papa.” The lather caught her frantically in his arms. “My darling Eva, you may never see your father again ; but do not fear-- God will guard you, and somebody will find you and care for you. If you nev er sec papa again, remember he is in Heaven with mama.” “ Has she no relatives ?” asked the stranger. “None in this country; lam from England, and am traveling for her health.” “Take that pin from your bosom and fasten it to her clothing.” “Heaven help you for the thought,” said the father; and in a moment the square and compass was glistening in the bosom of the child, and the stranger took her from his arms, saying : “I am stronger than you; she must be cast be yond the reach of these poor drowning wretches, or they will rob her of her life preserver.” The white drapery flutteied through the air. and sank below the waves; then rising, it floated lightly upon the wa ters James turned to the stranger with tearful eyes: “May God bless you, noblest of men. But you and myself must perish.” “No, I am a good swimmer, and here is a piece of board with which you can sustain yourself till relief arrives.” The father cast another glance at the white speck floating rapidly away, and with an inward “God preserve her !” sprang into the sea, followed by the stranger; but the two floated indiffer ent directions, and they saw each other no more. Two hours later, James Durant awoke as from the sleep of death, and found himself in the cabin of a strange ship, with kind sympathizing faces all al-ound him. In a moment he realized all that had passed, and said eagerly, though feebly: “My child, my little Eva; is she safe ?” There was no response, and a low moan escaped the father’s lips. “Courage, sir,” said a lady with tear ful eyes, “some of the passengers were saved by another ship.” The father’s countenance lighted.— ‘"God grant that she may be saved !” Mr. Durant recovered his usual strength in a few hours, and sought among the saved for the who had proven himself so true a Masonic brother, but he was not to be tound. “He must be on the other ship,” said Mr. Durant, “and he will care for Eva.” Both ships were at port in New l 7 ork the following day,but although Mr. Du rant found the stranger who befriended him, and who proved to be a Mr. Wads worth, from a Southern city, Eva had been seen by no one, and was given up as lost. CHAPTER H. “Here, wife, is a child that has just been washed upon the beach. She is not cold and stiff, but I think she is now dead. Let us have some warm flannels immediately, aud tell Thomas to run for Dr. Hunt. It was long before the quivering lashes and feeble fluttering of the heart gave token that success would crown the efforts of Eva’s rescuers; but by and-by, the lid sparted, and revealed two large liquid sky blue eyes, that wonder ed from face to face in a bewildered way, and then closed wearily. “I fear she will not recover very rap idly ” said the doctor. “She has a deli cate constitution, and will require the best of care.” “Poor child,” said Mrs. Turner. “ I do not wonder she is nearly dead, but CALHOUN, GA.,.THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1871. who can she be ? Some terrible acci dent must have occurred at sea.” “You had better examine her cloth ing,” said the doctor, “perhaps you may find some clue to her relations.” Mrs. Turner lifted the gossamer white dress, and turned it over and over. The square and compass placed by Mr. Du rant flashed upon the eyes of all at once. r fhe doctor and Mr. Turner looked at each other, but neither spoke; and Mrs. Turner did not notice the tear that glis tened in her husband’s eyes. The doctor’s fears that Eva would not recover rapidly, proved to be well found ed ; days and Weeks of fever succeeded in awakening her to life, during which she talked incoherently of “papa” and “poor dead mamma,” and of “the burn ing ship,” and of “hunger.” She final ly awoke to consciousness, and asked many questions as to how she came in that dark room, and who were those who attended her, but Dr. Hunt forbade her being questioned until she was stronger. How interested were all in the little convalescent, whom the elements had cast into the little seaboard town. The ladies declared that never before did a child possess such lovely eyes, or such beautiful curls; while the gentlemen seemed not less interested, and brought her gifts of everything that might please her childish fancy. “My dear little girl,” said Dr. Hunt, when Eva was at length able to ride out, “will you tell me your name?” “ Eva,” said the child, “ I thought you knew it.” “Y'es, I know your name is Eva, but I want to know the rest of your name, your father’s name.” “Eva Durant, Mr. Durant is my pa yy •'a pa. “Yes. Now I want you to tell me all you can remember about your father and mother.” Eva’s eyes filled with tears. “Oh, sir, my mamma died and went to live with the angels. And Ido not know where father is. He said if I nev er saw him again I must know he had gone to mamma.” “Where were you when he told you this ?” “On the ship; and oh, the fire burn ed me so; and papa held me in his arms until a strange man took me and tied something under my arms, and threw me into the water; and I have not seen pa pa since. O, sir can you tell me where he is ?” “No, dear child ; but perhaps we may yet find him.” And this was all that Eva’s new friend could discover. It was plain she had come from the ship which had been burned a few weeks before; that she had been cast upon the sea, and had floated upon the shore; but where was her father? Had he been saved ; and was he searching for his child ? Every possible effort was now made to find him. The circumstances of the case, with the statements of the child, were published fully in the newspapers of the neighboring cities, but the grief stricken father, believing his child to be lost, had sailed a week before for Eu rope ; and it soon became settled in the minds of Eva’s protectors, that he had perished. But the little one still prat tled about her papa, and said he would come by-and-by, and those who believed differently would not pain her by con tradiction. The square and compass that had been found upon her clothing was regarded as a powerful appeal from a Mason to his brethren to care for his child. So it came to pass that Eva be came as it were, the special charge of Hiraui Lodge, No. 93. Mr. Tur ner would gladly have taken the en tire care of the little waif, and the wealthy Senator W requested to be allowed to adopt her as his daughter,but the Brethren in Lodge assembled, de clared by a vote that Eva should be rear ed, educated and protected by the Lodge; and that as providence had placed her in Brother Turner’s house, that should be her home. And so the years went by, and Eva became a healthy, joyous child, flitting here and there, and everywhere meeting the warmest of welcomes. The M asonic Hall was but a few rods from Mr. Turner’s residence, and Eva often went with him as far as the door, and then returned alone, always bidding the Tiler “take good care of Pa Turner, and send him home early.” CHAPTER lit. The six years that followed the death of his wife and the loss of his child, passed wearily to James Durant. He visited nearly every country in the old World, seeking among scenes of natural beauty and grandeur, as well as historic interest for the mental rest that could never be found. Once more he turned his steps toward America, and sought his Masonic friend, Mr. Wadsworth.— Finding that gentlemen about setting out with his family on a journey to the Atlantic coast, Mr. Durant accepted the invitation to accompany them to Sarato ga* and Niagara, then to New York. 1 where, leaving the ladies, Mr. Wads worth and Mr. Durant wandered from town to town along the coast, enjoying the beauty of the scenery, and the quiet hospitality that greeted them, more than the crowded hotels and the fashionable styles of the popular watering places.— Fancy, and the kind hand of Providence at length led them in the little town of B , and the second evening after their arrival,-they visited the Masonic Lodge. A warm welcome was extended to these brethren from such distant homes, and both were invited to address the Lodge. Mr. Durant said : “Brethren : I have traveled much and long. I have found Masonic sym pathy in every part of the globe, and everywhere is Masonry substantially the same. I can hardly tell where I reside. The world seems to be my home, as I remain but a short time in any town or country, but my name is recorded in an English Lodge. I love my English Brethren, for tlfey first brought mo ‘from darkness to light,' and 1 love English soil, for within it sleeps the wife my youth. But I love American soil also, for here have I found the warmest welcomes, the kindest of brethren.— And too, my own child is sleeping in American Waters, even beneath the verv waves that wash the shores of your beau tiful village. “Six years have passed since this dear friend and brother robbed himself of his life preserver, that my little Eva might perhaps escape, and we hoped the elements might be kind, and that Heav en would send her relief; but she was never heard of more.” The voice of Mr. Durant was quiver ing with emotion, and unable to speak further, he seated himself and covered his face with his hands. Glances of surprise and pleasure were cast from one to another among the brethren of Hiram Lodge. No one spoke, but all eyes were turned upon the Master, Mr. Turner. For a moment he seemed reflecting; then taking a slip of paper from the Secretary, he wrote : “Mrs. Turner : Do not allow Eva to retire until I return home ; tell her I am going to bring a strange gentleman who wishes to* see her.” And calling the Jun. Deacon, Mr Turner gave him the note, saying, in a low voice, “take this to Mrs. Turner, immediately.” “Why, Eva,” said Mrs. Turner when she had read the message, “you are go ing to have company. A gentleman is at the lodge-room who wishes to see you.” “Who can it be ?” Eva looked perplexed and thoughtful. Suddenly her cheeks flushed, her eyes lightened, and clapping her little hands, she sprang to her feet, and exclaimed : ‘ Oh, it must be papa ! no one else would wish to see me, no one in the world ;” and before Mrs. Turner comprehended the child’s interpretation, she had pass ed the threshold; and wasflitting through the moonlight toward the lodge-rooui.— The Tiler looked amazed, when Eva burst into the ante-room, her checks burning, her eyes flashing with joy and excitement. “Do not stop me, lam going in !” she exclaimed. But Die in ner door was fastened, and the impatient Eva cried with vexation. “M ait a moment,” said the Tiler, who having heard nothing of what had trans pired within, Avas at a loss to account for the strange conduct of the child ; "wait a moment, and I will send your request to Mr. Turner. lie will come out and see you.” “I shall not wait; Ido not want to sec Mr. turner, I want to see my papa.” " I he child is crazy, that is evident,” said the perplexed Tiler, to himself; but calling out the deacon lie bade him say that Eva was there and had deter mined to get \nto the lodge-room. The deacon went to the East, and de-* livered his message in a low tone, and a moment afterwards moved that the craft be called from labor to refreshment. “Now,” said Mr. Turner, “tell the Ti ler to let her come in.” And Eva did come, or rather bounded into the hall, more beautiful in her ex citement than ever before. She advanced to the center of the room, and stood be side the altar ; half poised upon one tiny foot, scanned rapidly the faces of all. — Her eager eyes soon detected the stran gers who were seated beside each other, and for a moment she seemed irresolute —then darting forward with a glad cry, she threw her arms about the neck of Mr. Durant, crying, “Oh, pappa ! My dear papa ! you have come home at last. You were not burned in the ship.” Y e will not attempt to paint the scene further, but will leave our readers to im agine the joy of the fond father, and also leave them to decide whether the tears that wet the checks of the brethren of Hiram Lodge were caused by sympathy with the happiness of their little charge, or grief shat they should lose one whom they all loved. M -» fr- Davis, Toombs and Breckinridge. The Montgomery Advertiser, in the course of a long editorial article, has this : In his recent speech at St. Louis, Morton not only argued with a brazen visage and iron tongue in favor of the political extinguishment of the Wash ington Republic —of the United States as they stand in the American Union— but he sought to lead the people to sym pathise with his own personal fears and malice in refusing to extend amnesty to some of the Southern leaders. With an exhibition of ludicrous self conse quence, not actually possessing enough sensibility to be conscious of his own infamous career, a senatorial comrade of Ames and Revels, and the other South ern carpet-baggers ; a fellow conspirator in kindling the flames of fratricidal strife, with the atheistic and adulterous wretch, old Thad. Stevens; at present an intimate of Grant and a fellow actor with Ren Butler ; this Radical leper, whose soul is more deformed than his foul body, exclaimed in his croaking malice, “I will never set, nor adfise loyal men to set-in the Senate by the side of Davis, Toombs and Breckinridge!” Verily we should think not. He had as soon encounter with his syphalistic crutch a roaring lion as either of the three. He affects patriotism and loyal ty. Faugh ! it is sheer cowardice. If the T nited States people wish anew sen sation let them see that Davis, Toombs and Breckinridge go back to the Senate, nd that Morton and his fellow-conspir ators remain there. Don’t let them run I away ! e would have a great painter Ito limn the scene. Gods ! it would be worth ten years of existence to witness I the quiet dignity and silent scorn with which Jefferson Davis—whose honor and truth have never been impeached— would overwhelm this Radical impos tor who has never had any more idea of personal honor than a mangy pig, or of truth than a magpie. We should like to see the impetuous Toombs, over mastered by his hot rage at so much meanness and impudence, seize this ex ecrable creature in his powerful grasp, and hold him up aloft, squirming and spewing amidst the jeers and contempt of the world. We should like to see the noble Breckinridge, rising to his full stature and turning one eye on the bloody and perfidious knave who with others like him, made civil war a neces sity in our country, until he should wish tortiide his leprous carcass in the first rat hole in the Capitol. ■ From the Constitution. Editorial Personals and the Situ ation. We rejoice to learn from the Con stitution that Col. Avery, the Editor-in- Chiefof that journal has returned from his health-recruiting tour of several months’ duration, for we were hungry for some of his heavy, polished leaders. The Colonel, during the war, wielded a keen and fearless sword, but, if it be possible, he wields a more pointed and fearless pen. We congratulate our confrere oft his restored health, and may the blessing abide with him until his career is fin ished.—Neicnnn Herald. Col. Isaac W. Avery. —This gen tleman, after several weeks travel, and recreation at the North, has returned to his post as the principal editor of the Atlanta Constitution. We are glad to learn that his health, which has been greatly impaired, has been much bene fitted by the trip. He is now ready to engage in the war upoa Radicalism with a vim, and we hope that, in order to do so the more effectually, he will switch the Constitution back to the old track of constitutional Democracy, especially as we are witnessing the effects of the “new departure” in Maine and Califor nia. Come, Colonel, and give us genu ine Democratic editorials such as shall make the heart glad and inspire the soul with the principles of civil and consti tutional liberty. —La 11 range Reporter. The above courteous and graceful greetings from our esteemed brothers of the press on our return to duty, we gratefully acknowledge. The general spirit of kindness that has marked the intercourse of the Constitution and its people, particularly its editor-in-chief, with the sterling Democratic members of our State press, is a matter of most pleasant consideration, and it shall not be our fault if it ceases. We are bat tling in the same momentous cause, and have the same vital aim, and whatever differences of opinion there may be as to the methods of warfare, they must be attributed to that independence of thought and action that mark honest minds, and that must be respected. It would be as useless as injurious to look for all judgments to run in the same rut. Truth is elicited and right evolved from the clash of independent and hon est thought. There is no greater foe to prejudice than the conflict of argument. Particularly should our Democracy avoid personalties among themselves, and em bittering controversies upon each oth er’s motives. We regret to find that during our ab sence there has been some disposition to personal skirmishing, and a reprehensi ble tendency to mix up ebullitions of temper in the grave discussion of great public questions. This is wrong. The Democracy cannot afford to fritter aw r ay its harmony in intestine strife. Politi cal bigotry is as inimical to party unity as religious bigotry is hostile to the true cause of Christianity. No man can force his opinions upon his party. It is out of the question in an age as intelli gent as this, and among a people as proud and conscientious as ours. The reason must be reached. The hot and fiery discussion of poli ties among the Democrats for the last month or two has not been beneficial.— We have deprecated the dissentions of the Democracy, and labored unceasingly for party unity. When the Democracy in the North ern States that are*under Radical con trol determined, a few months back, to bury, if possible, the war issues, in or der to get the question of Radical usurp ations and corruptions nakedly before their people and redeem their States, we thought then, as we think now, that the South should not embarrass them in any way. The contests were local and net national, and to make a national is sue out of them at this juncture was impolitic and hurtful. The Constitution took this position, and has held it tenaciously* We be lieved it right then ; we believe it right now. Those people took their ground with a knowledge of their home weakness, and we felt that we had no rkrht to in terfere in their local fight for redemp tion and liberty. We have expressed no opinion upon the propriety of their position, and we do not intend to at pres ent. We have studiously avoided it.— M e felt that Southern declarations that practically nullified their new venture were untimely and most improper, and must be fatal. This responsibility we would not take. We thought that our friends North should have every chance to succeed in their new venture. They did not commit us. They were fighting for very existence. They might be mis- ; taken in their policy. But we felt it j was not our place to diminish their pros pects of success by weakening their ef forts. The editor's observations North have convinced him ot the propriety of this course. Wc saw’ there the new move ment falling dead through Southern in strumentality. We heard l>cmocrats despairingly crying out, “ Why don't our Southern friends keep their mouths, and let us battle our cause here untram melled 1 ’ Tt is to-day impossible to see what intrinsic force there was in the new movement, because Southern op;x>- sition, as far as we can learn, has not confined itsell to legitimate argument, but has misrepresented the movement most grossly; not intentionally, of course, but still most grossly. The help to the Radicals has been great. We heard Radicals say that they could af-' ford to pay certain journals and men South, of the extreme Democracy, a large sum tb keep up their fusillades against the new movement W e allude to these matters as facts that our people would do well to con sider. For ourselves, we shall pursue the same course we have mapped out, plead ing for Democratic unity. The great est foe to the party is be who Would split it to fragments, keep alive its dissen sions, and embarrass its friends and mem bers. We have faith in the party, and in the fact that its members understand the true faith and will stick to it hero ically and purely. We do not think it necessary to be always doubting its in tegrity, its fideliy and intelligence.— We even think that it can make dis tinctions between right and wrong, and hold to them bravely, while acting sens ibly. Now we appeal to our brothers of the Southern press to let us give each other credit for good, and at the same time grant something of honesty to the North ern Democracy. The Northern Demo crats are all the friends the South has in the world. The South gives a prom inence to questions affecting its own in terest and welfare, and the North, for that very reason, looks jealously upon the South, In the next Presidential contest, the only hope of the Democra cy is in de-sectionedizing the contest.— Let us not begin the fatal game of sec tionalizing it. We shall continue to discuss this mat ter in future numbers. How the Money Goes. A correspondent of the Central Bap tist,after visiting President Grant’s farm a few miles from St. Louis, Mo., says lie “was received by Mr. Elrod, a rela tive of the President’s, who is entrusted by him with the superintendence of property valued at not less than $300,- 000. The farm includes, with recent pur chases, 800 acres, mostly rolling land.” Referring to this statement of the Cen tral Baptist, the Brooklyn Eagle says : “President Grant went into the army not worth a cent, and has lived quite freely ever since. Ilis horses, equip ages, etc., are the theme of admirative descriptions from correspondents not on ly at Washington, but at Long Branch, and everywhere else he takes up his tem porary abode. It is, therefore, quite consolatory to find that out of his most excessive salary, first as General and now as President, he is able to keep $300,- 000 of blooded stock and such like prop erty idle on a Missouri farm. * * * These boss politicians, whether called Supervisors or Presidents contrive to live at the point of luxury, and on mod erate salaries, and yet to roll up richer.” Then there is the State Treasurer of South Carolina, Mr. Parker. He re fuses to allow his books to be examined. The Charleston News says of him : “ Three years ago he was little better than a beggar. When elected State Treasurer he was in the depth of destruc tion. Now he drives fast horses in gold mounted harness, buys fifteen thousand dollar diamond pins, and has the repu tation of being worth a cool quarter of a million. All this in three years upon a salary of twenty-five hundred dollars. Another bit of romance is related by the New York Sun: “ A follower of Wesley and a preach er of righteousness came to the Senate from a Western State, pious and poor. Serving first in the north wing of the Capitol, then in the Department of the Interior, and then again at the Capitol, he waxed rich, and dwelt in his own ravishing garnished brown stone man sion, and kept a carriage which the Archbishop of Canterbury would have envied.” The following from Pennsylvania is of the same sort: Philadelphia, August 14.—The Evening Bulletin this afternoon con tains an exposition of an alleged defal cation in the collection of the Pennsyl vania war claims from the General Gov ernment, amounting, with the interest, to over $365,000. — — A laughable thing took place at a revival meeting somewhere in Missis sippi, not long since. The minister no ticed a seedy looking chap in one of the seats, looking as though he needed re ligion or a good square meal. So he stepped up to him, asked him if he was a Christian. “No sir,” said he, “I am editor of the Democratic paper of this place.” “ Then, in the name of God. let us pray,” replied the devoted minis ter ♦ w- Jteg- A. J. Ransier, the colored Lieu tenant Governor of Soflth Carolina, and Chairman of the Republican .State Ex ecutive Committee, publishes a letter in the News, strongly opposing the pro posed declaration of martial law. He thinks the civil power amply sufficient to repress existing disorders, and that martial law as a remedy would be worse than the disease. RATES OF ADVtRTfeINC^ | 1 Mo.f a Mo*.
