HOW Southern Landlord Recovered a
POcIxesEsoo!S


Now Southern Landlord Recovered a
POclketbook.
The proprietor of hotel near Jackson,
Miss, writes correspondent, is square
built, sleepy-lo0king parsonage, with leathery
flesh and an aspect of constitutional fatigue,
but more capable than enc would suspect.
Under the mask Of yawning slowness he is
most alert, and has perpexing way of pop
ping in on his servants when they think he is
doing before the fire, with his hands in his
pockets and his eye glazed with an indolent
film. His help are all colored. When they
transgress they are dismissed summariIy, and
the proprietor, by going into the street, re-
places them with slight trouble. / was
amused by the strategy of our deceptive land
lord. He received letter from young lady
who bad stopped at his house recently, in
which letter she requested that her pocket
book, lett behind under her pillow. should be
forwarded by express.
The landlord had previously heard nothing
Of the pocketbook, but, looking dreadfully
sleepy, he went to the colored chambermaid
nd said:
"Pretty cold, Mandy"
Yes, sah." Pause
"Have to have q new broom soon. MANDY ?''
Guess so-next week" Pause again
Swept No. yet, Mandy?p
"Yes, sab"
THAT young lady's pocketbook. Mandy
fetch it to me"-this being drawled out in
tone of quiet Indifference, but with an air
OF precisely knowing the history of tue miss
ing article. Mandy looked at him with a
pale face and frightened grin. He whistled,
looked at the sky, and yawned. 'No hurry
Man iy; fetch it to me in ten minutes; that'll
do; h-e-i-gh-o-o-o"
Mandy was routed She was gone five
minutes to neighboring Init, and returned
with the pocketbook as she had at first found
it. The landlord took it with two yawns and
never word. But when Mandy disappear
ed he glanced at me with a shrewd twinkle
in both eyes, and said, Il understand em.'

ing on, Mdlle. Mea was invited to a soiree
given by the Countess de O., in honor
OF the return of her brother, General l.
As she entered the Countess drawing room
General L. came forward to meet her
holding out his hand.
"fhey say, mademoiselle," said the Gener-
al, as he approached her, ''that, in your new
character, all who touch you fall dead on the
spot"
General" replied the actress, "you have
looked the Angel of Death IN the face too
often to be afraid of her.
''Very true" returned General l.. s'I
do not fear her, especially when she borrows
your features"
After several complimentary speeches on
both sides, the General smilingly offered his
hand to the actress, who, smiling and graft
fed, placed her hand in his. As her palm
touched his, he fell heavily on the floor and
was taken up dead, carried off by an attack of
apoplexy.

ANOTHER BRICK PoMERoY.-We have al
ready made few extracts from N ew Democrat
ic paper called the 'Sentinel-on-the-Bo Border. "
published at Louisville, Ky. The following
article on Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson
Davis is further revelation of its general
tone and character:
Lincoln and Davis were the chieftains of
contending principles and communities The
INST was the head of the Federalistic element,
the other OF State Sovereign Democracy. By
the power of numbers, the one triumphed and
the other fell, SO far as principles may be said
to fall by the defeat Of armies The one was
an unsettled, shifting, vulgar, rollicking man
the other serious, grave, dignified, and de-
termined. The one was plebeian by nature
the other nobleman. As between these
contestants as men, the rise and fall of armies
mas done little else than to bring them out into
stronger contrast The triumphant party is
now dead-he fills the grave of an unwept ty-
rant, and VIII be execrated the more as tie
Wheeis OF time roll on, tanning the chaff from
the wheat. Lincoln cared nothing for the tr-
nmph OF prlnclple-he was satisfied with the
dln and clash OF the hour. And So at the sac
rlhce of principle and the nations honor in
an hundred ways, he triumphed over his oppo-
nent. What are the results secured by
that bloody triumph? What questions are
settled? The States are further from uaiop
now than ever-the people are bound under a
monstrous load of expressions and tyrannes,
ana are at last, and not unexpectedly, cursing
the being whose triumph was their ruin
how stands his opponent? Bowed with the
sorrows OF his people, he may still stand erect
oyer the grave OF his dead foe, and exciaim
Shake not your CORY locks at me-" "Thou
didst it!' Had Jefferson Davis sacrificed
those, principles upon which his people went
into the struggle, the arrogant North. and NOT
the South, would be- the stricken land. Had
Jefferson Davis departed from his determined
defensive warfare had he enlisted the slaves
of the South in his armies, under the fac of
emancipation in 81, the North would have
been smoking slaughter pen! But the ban
ner of his people had been thrown to the
breeze, aud under its waving folds he and his
people fell together in a Spartan embraced

In ,aaads of heavenly azure;

Slept in its hid embrasuIe.
The breoze 50 softly b ew it made

and the smoke of tie random. eannonads
Rolled slowly from the river.
Ana now where circling hills looked down,
With cannon grinly planted,
Ger istless Damp and silent town,
The golden sunset santed.
When on the feryid air there came
A strain, now rich now TENDER
The music seemed itself auame
vi it'll days departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
PLAYED measures brave and nimble,
Had just struck up with iute and horn
And lively clash OF cymbal.
Down hocked the soldiers to the banks,
Til. margined by its pebbles,
one wooded shore was blue with "Yanks,"
And one was gray with ''Eebels"
Then ali was still. and then the band
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream and forest, hill and strand,
Reyerberate with Dixie
The conscious stream with FURNISHED glow,
Went proudly Ger its pebbles,
But thrilled Throughout its deepest glow
With yelling OF the rebels.
Again pause, and then again
The trumpets pealed soDorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the strain
10 which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward few,
tn kiss fhe shining pebbles;
Loud shrieked the swarming Boys in Blue
Defiance to the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugIes sang
Above the stormy riot;
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned holy quiet.
The sad, low stream its noiseless tread
Poured DER the gistening pebbles;
And silent now the Yankees stood,
And silent stood the Rebels.
10 unresponsiye soul had heard,
That plaintive notes appealing,
SO deeply 'home, Sweet Home" had stirred
The hidden tounts of feeling.
Or blue or gray, the soldier sees,
As by the wand of fairy,
The cottage meath the live-oak trees,
The cabin by the prairie.
Or cold or warm his native skies
Bend in their beauty Ger him;
Seen through the iear-mist in his eyes,
His loved ones stand betole him.
As fades the iris after rain
In Aprifs fearful weather,
The vision vanished as the strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, walked BY musc's art,
Expressed III simplest numbers,
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels SAUNDERS.
And fair the form of Music shines.
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still mid wars embattled lines
Gave this one touch Of Nature.

The Best and Principal Portion of the
National Trunk Line Across the Continent
is being rapidly carried forward by an unprecedent-
ed working force; and 1t is reasonably certain that
the continuous overland Railroad connection from
New York to San Francisco will be made in 1870.
The United States Government furnishes, upon q,
subordinate and contingent lien hall the means for
constructing the Main Steam Line; and besides an
absolute grant of II 10 of valuable public lands
per mile, the Central Pacific Railroad Company have
received from California sources donations and con-
cessions worth more than SIS, 900 200. The ayaila-
BILE resources of this company are therefore abund-
ant for the purpose, amounting ST. goo OOO on the
first 1925 miles OF the Line, including Loans secured
by First Mortgage upon the whole property to the
same amount only as the U. S. Subsidy Bonds.
The results already attained, although under COM
parativey unfavorable circumstances, afford sub
stantial ground for believing the CENTRAL Pa
CIFIC to be the
Most Favored, Productive, and Valuable
Railroad Enterprise i'm the Country.
The Company are now offering for SALE a limited
| amount of their
First Mortgage Six Per Gent. Bonds
Principal and Interest Payable in Gold Coin.
ia pump VI Si,oOo at per Cent VI par
value and accrued interest from January 1st in
| currency.
These Bonds, iii believed, possess the elements OF
safety reliability and profit in greater degree than
any other class of Corporate Securities offered
and are therefore very desirable for steady invest
ments of surplus capital.
Investors will bear in mind the following advan-
| tages
1. They the first mortgage OF the most
valuable and productive lines of railroad in the
| world.
ii. The actual earnings from local business in 1867
were than four times the annual interest en-
! gagements.
| III. The hard part of the work is done, and
the prospects of rapid completion are favorabe.s
| ~. The Company have liberal subsidies, which
enable them to prosecute the work with great vigor.
V. The management has been exceedingly pru-
dent and frugal.
VI There is already large and growing settle
ment on the completed and graded line.
VII. The lands promise to be of immense value,
37O3s acres having been already sold.
VIII. Both principal and interest explicitly
made payable in gold coin.
TX. Both the aggregate amount OF issue and their
standing in Europe will insure for them continued
activity and high rank among standard securities.
AT this time they yield nearly
l. Nine Per Cent. upon the Investment.
Holders of Government Securities have an oppor-
tunity of exchanging them for Central Pacific Bonds
bearing equal rate ofnterest, with the principal
abundantly secured, and of realizing profit OF from
ten to fifteen per cent. in addition.
