PKRsoNAL-THE RETURN OF THE Ex-
lie. We had the great pleasure and
satisfaction of greeting upon orr streets,
on yesterday, onr former young towns
nun, Joseph UIm Matthews In tho
spring Of 1867, nenrly five years ago,
Mr. Matthews went to seek his fortunes
in Brazil. He liked the people and
liked the country, and says that so long
as the war lasted between Brazil and
Paraguay, lie did we'll in business. At
last, however, he resolved to return
home. But before reaching this coun-
try, he found himself on q cruise that he
dill not ut first design. He got upon
whaling expedition. He tells us that
since leaving Brazil he has visited the
const Of Africa and that of Europe, and
has travelled over $4,000 miles on the
deep. The captain of the whaler was
ON educated man and gentleman, and
Mr.. Matthews Jared we'll and rose to a
position of responsibility and command
upon the vessel. We are pleased to hnd
that Joe returns improved in physique,
health and weight-taller and broader
and moro muscular. Joe has had q
varied esperience-has withstood an
attack Of yellow fever and harpooned
the whale. Yet, after all, he says:
There is no place like home, sweet home."
We Welcome the wanderer back and
bid him take lis place in the ranks OF
the earnest workers of the South.
