A Little Romance.


The Richmond (Ya.) Enquirer tells this
story;
A piece of good fortune has recently fallen
to one of our most estimable townsWomen.
During the war a soldier from Louisiana
formed the acquaintance of one of Rich.
mond's daughters. This acquaintance,
formed by accident, soon ripened into an
affection on the part of the young son of
Mars which he could not suppress. His
devotion was not reciprOcated. The young
soldier was so saddened by the rebuff that
he fingered for many months in one of the
hospitals before he could report for duty.
Having recovered he fastened to the camp.
and in every battle sought death. In the
meantime the lady was wooed by another
soldier of the Southern army, yielded, and
the parties were happily married.
At length the war terminated, and the
husband with tears in his eyes told his wife
that the honeymoon must have an interrupt
ton. He desired to visit his mother and
sisters. Days and weeks passed by, but no
tidings from the husband were received
Letters were written, but no answers came,
and it was finally discovered that the hus-
band had proved recreant to his trust, and
that all his representations were false. From
that day to this the young wife, deserted by
the man of her choice, has lived in quiet
and seclusion, rarely seeing company or ap-
pearing on the streets.
On Wednesday last her surprise was I'M
bounded upon receiving letter from Lou.
isiana. It was penned BY the administrator
OF the young man whose hand she had re-
jected during the war. He had never for.
gotten the object of his alteration in Rich.
mond, and on his dying bed beQueathed her
ans entire estate valued az @l9,lUO. she is
requested to forward immediate directions
as TO what disposition shan be made of the
property. The lady, we learn, viii leave at
an early day to give personal attention to
her Interests in Louisiana.
sWGuhkR PHEEOMEsoN.--A curious story
comes from San Jose, California. A drug.
gist there, who keeps a large collection Of
gold fishes III an aquarium, temporarily re-
moved the fishes to a large qlobular glass
Jar filled with water. By accident his clerk
discovered that by placing his forehead in
contact with the upper portion Of the glass
globe the fishes all acted precisely AZ if
they had received shock from an electric
conductor. He tried 70 startle the fishes by
touching the jar at the same point with his
hand, with books, with his chin, face, and
elbows--all without effect Even humping
anlartly upon the jar with his knuckles
Jailed to get up a piscatory excitement;
aHt whenever he touched the glass with the
Top Of his forehead the fishes were instantly
t1rnwn into violent agitation. This would
seem 70 Indicate that there Is a sort Of

DISASTROUS FIRE AT THE PINE
House. The largest and most COM
modious mansion in Edgefeld Dis
trict, that of Benjamin Belts, ESQ,
at the Pine House, was burned to the
ground on Tuesday morning, the last
day of 1867. The fire in the case is
supposed to have originated, in some
way or other, from the burning out
of the chimneys. This burning ont
was done early in the morning, and
at 10 or II q. M, the garret was dis
covered to be in flames. The fire had
progressed so far before being dis
covered that it was found impossible
to extinguish or arrest it. The costly
and elegant furniture of the upper
rooms was consumed with the build
ing; that below stairs was rescued
no nsurance.-EdgetteM Adcetiser.

The Convention in Louisiana has
adopted an article in the constitution
guaranteeing to negroes the '.same
civil, political and public rights and
privileges" as the whites. The effect
of this, as explained in the debates,
will be to secure to them equal privi-
leges in hotels, railroads, steamboats,,
places of amusement, &c. The pro-
vision was adopted by very large
majority-only seventeen voting
against it. The advice given to the
colored people by one of the mem
bers-not to initiate the dog who lost
the bone he had, by swapping at the
shadow Of it in the water, was not
needless.

A SOUTHERN SOLDIER IN DISTRESS.
We are requested to make public the
fact that VIM. Thomson, a Confede-
rate soldier, from Greenville District,
in our State, is still at Elmira, New
York, where the close of the war
found him prisoner. This unfor-
tunate young man has lost an arm
and leg. For want of funds, we
suppose, he is unable to return to the
South.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says that the
opinion is gaining ground there that
the President has been 'sunder-rated." :"
The New York Times asserts that it
is by no means 80 fashionable as it
was a year ago, to denounce him as
utterly incompetent and powerless.
We think it not at all unlikely that
this mistake has been made. Presi-
dent Johnson's message and other
State papers will compare favorably,
in point of ability, force and effect
iveness, with those of any President
we have ever had; and the steady
determination with which he has
adhered to his original policy is be-
ginning to have an effect even upon
those who dissent most widely from
it.

CANT DO WITHOUT A PApER.-A

with the statement that, although
not original, they express his senti-
ments exactly:
What, do without a paper! No,
I've tried it to my sorrow,
So, to subscribe for one I'll go,
Nor wait until tomorrow;
Should lovers hang or drown them
selves,
Or other foolish caper,
1 never get to hear of it
1 do not take the paper.
Why, there's my neighbor, Toby
Stout,
He always reads the news,
And having it to take about,
He never gets the "blues;"
While others yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor;
The cause is plain to half an,eye-
He always takes the paper.
While neighbor Stout hears all the
news,
And knows each current price,
And always minds the p's and q's,
by taking good advice;
[ cannot tell the price of grain,
Of poultry, Golfer, taper,
Or any kind of merchandise
Because 1 take no paper.
Though I have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet 1 can spare little time,
-, AS we'll as Stout, my neighbor;
Though time be precious, I can U.s.
A longer midnight taper,
And thus find time to read the news;
Therefore, I'll take the paper.

AASos ~ VA rsNAN'
The present is time of peculiar
trial to our Southern people, both
politically and financially. AS to our
political trials, much has already been
said. But the political madness
which rules the hour is also hurtful
to the financial interests of the South.
We, in common with the whole peo-
pie OF the United States, are suffer
ing from the prostration of trade and
business. The Northern people,
however, are. rich enough to bear
this evil much better than we are.
And, furthermore, the great interest
of the South being agricultural, the
arrangement of labor and the sud-
den depreciation of cotton have we'll
nigh destroyed our lately rising hope
of financial recuperation. The con-
sequence is, that there is much de-
spondency throughout the country
y reference to our material prosper
ity in the future. But We must not
succumb to such depressing inAu-
ences. We must "learn to labor and
to wait" and by this means ulti-
mately surmount difficulties that ap-
pear at first as insuperable. Our
material prosperity, despite all our
troubles, is only question of time.
No such country as ours, with such
vast wealth only awaiting develop
ment, can long remain depressed.
Capital and population are certain to
flow into it, ere long, in immense
volumes. Our present plans and
efforts may not be as successful as we
desired and expected. But the ma
tive wealth of the country will inevi-
tably attract to it the means and the
facilities of its development, and all
difficulties growing out of the pre-
sent condition of affairs will be
obviated. What we most desired to
say is, that the two duties now most
incumbent upon all the Southern
people are hard labor and economical
lioing. These two valuable lessons
we learned and practiced most sue
cessfully during the war. Let us
return to them now, when they are
as much needed as ever before, and
even more. Let them be imprinted
upon every heart aud faithfully ad-
hered to, and we shall ultimately be-
come happy and prosperous people.
Let us press forward in the great
struggle against adverse fortune,
with the determination to achieve
success, and to do this we must "bide
our time" with that magnificent cou-
rage which distinguished our ances-
tors at the close of the Revolutionary
war. History teaches us that they
put their hands to the plough and
never looked back. We should be
instructed and encouraged by the
noble example.

INJURY TO MANUFACTURING INTER
srs.-We referred lately to that por-
tion of a speech of Mr.. Sprague, o
Republican Senator from Rhode
Island, himself largely engaged in
manufactures aud cotton planting,
in which he represented the cotton
planting interest of the United States
as all bat crushed out of existence.
MIR. Sprague speaks with equal en-
phasis in regard to the condition to
which the manufacturing industry
and enterprise of the United States
have been reduced. He declares that
within the range of his business
knowledge, not single manufactur-
ing interest can be found that s'is
not almost destroyed-at any rate,
prostrated to the very dust" The
largest manufacturer in the United
States confesses that he does "not
know of an article that the American
manufacturer can now produce and
export and compete with foreign
manufacturers in the markets of the
world, even with the drawback. He
ayers that thousands and thousands
of men, women and children are to-
day suffering from the want of en-
ployment." in consequence of the
taxes and the nnwise legislation of
recent years. He says eve have
taxed out Of existence interests which
have made us prosperous people,"
Instead of the results expected from
high tariff legislation, the interests
which Congress has undertaken es-
pecially to protect by prohibitory
duties are the very interests, MS shown
by Mr.. Sprague, which are on the
verge of ruin. He also maintains,
what indeed only the most deluded
partizan can be blind to, that the
increase of productive forces has not
kept pace with the destruction Incl
dent to the war, which, in the taxa
tion raised and the debt incurred to
carry on hostilities, has deducted so
much from the available wealth of
the nation. In regard to Rhode
Island, it is said that the machinery
employed during the last seven years
has deprecated in value seventy per
cent, while nothing like a cores
ponding provision has been made for
its renewal. When it is remembered
that these are the well-considered
statements of q practical man, who
rarely makes political speeches, and
who is himself member of the Re-
publican party, it seems little less
than fatuity or madness in Congress
not to appreciate their startling sig
nificance.
