"TAER THIS WOMAN HOME. |"

-
When the lastnamed gentleman came
to the patients residence, he peremp
torily said, take this woman home
there has been quite enough Of trouble,
sickness and death in this house" AL.
though exceedingly ill, the lady was
taken home in a carriage. The next
morning. 1t is alleged, Mrs. Wharton
dispatched messenger to inquire for
her health, and further showed her 80.
licitude by sending the lady q bottle Of
brandy. The patient tasted q mouthful
of the brandy, and presently went into
commissions. She has partially recov.
cred her health, but she still suffers
from what she supposes to be the effsets
of the medicines administered at Mrs.
Wharton's house. THE bottle of brandy
pas preserved, and is noO being analysed.
II poison is discovered in it, this case
would seem to be the strongest and
most conclusive of all that have yet
been developed, but at this late day it
is highly probable that there can be no
satisfactory test. The two thousand
dollars, principal and interest, were
paid on the day that she was sent to
Jail. Mrs. Wharton owed q sister-in-
law Of the lady referred to $1,000, 1925
of which has been paid.

THE WHARTON POISONING CASE,
Interesting Facts Relating to Mrs
wharton.

The interest in the Wharton case re,
mains undated, and each day develops
some new TACT or rumor which affords
material for speculation and conjecture.
While the unhappy woman is brooding
over a blasted reputation in the tower
Of the City Jail, the outside world is
busy with her past performances III the
way Of getting rid Of her creditors, and
if the half that is told is true there has
not been such an expert in her peculiar

Edmund Spencer.

Spenser began his career in the golden
age of English literaturc-the reign of
Elizabetl-a time when England's think
ers were England's noblcmen. OF the
poets earlier days. what has been said has
been as often contradicted According to
the date on his monument, he was born in
1910, but the best authorities now agree
that he was born in London nearly a half
century later. In time he was sent to
Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, where compet-
ing for fellowship with Andrews (after-
wards Bishop of Winchester) he was
defeated. He left the university by reason
of poverty, and soon after fell in love, as
poor and unfortunate geniuses are ever
prone to do. The "Shepherd's Calendar :"
and poems to his "Rosalind ~ were then in
order. Love became the herald to fame;
men of letters and influence began to recog-
nize his talent, and soon Spenser was bless
ed with friends faithful to his interests
and powerful in their own. A pretty story
mot we'll authenticated runs like this
ITO Sir Philip Sidney, poet, warrior and
statesman, Spencer carried canto of the
'Faeric Queene.' Sidney was much sur
prised, and is said to have shown an unlsl-
al kind of transport at the discovery of so
new and uncommon a genius. After he had
| read some stanzas, he turned to his stew
| ard and bade him give the person that
| brought the verses fifty pounds; and upon
reading the next stanza, he ordered the
sum to be doubled. The steward was no
less surprised than his master, and thought
it his duty to make some delay in execut-
| ing so sudden and lavish bounty; but
upon reading one stanza more, Sidney rails
ed his gratuity to two hundred pounds, and
| commanded the steward to give it imme-
| diately, lest, rs he read further, he might
be tempted to give away his whole estate" :"
| Spenser, in time, was chosen poet lau-
reate; but it was can outward honor for an
inward toil.'' E,izabeth's Lord High
| Treasurer neglected, if be did not ill-use
| the poet. Tradition tells us that once,
when the Queen would have given Spenser
a present of a hundred pounds, Burleigh
protested, saying: "What. all this for a
single song9''
"Then give,' said Her Majesty, "what
is reason"
The Lord High Treasurer saw reason in
nothing; and the cxpectant poet awaited a
present that was not forthcoming One
day Spenser sent tho queen the following
| lines:
81 was promised on time
To have reason for my rhyme;
| From that time unto this season,
l received nor rhyme nor reason"
Elizabeth received the cpigram, Burleigh a
rebuke, and Spenser his money.

Where to Go to Get Well.

To what region shall consumptives 20 for
their health? Mr.. Ledyard Bill thinks
that Minnesota furnishes the best climate
for the amelioration of lung diseases, and
has written a book in illustration of his be.
lief, and as a guide to those who act upon
his views. To account for the salubrity of
the air of Minnesota, Mr.. Bill has devised
or adopted novel but plausible theory of
the climatology of the United States. 1t is
that our prevailing winds are from the
west, and are healthful and invigorating.
But on the Northern Atlantic coast these
west winds are met by northeast winds,
moist and chilly from the ice fields of the
ocean further north, which overcome them
during the winter and spring. This coast
is exposed to frequent changes of temper
ature, in which penetrating chilling cold
prevails, and operates severely on weak
bodies. The region Of the direct range
of the east winds corresponds closely with
that in which consumption is most fatal.
1t extends to the neighborhood of Fortress
Monroe, and two or three hundred miles
into the interior.
In the Mississippi Valley, the northeast
winds alternate with the hot enervating
winds which blow up from the Mexican
Gulf, as well as with the normal west winds.
The east winds chill, the south winds
weaken the body, and there are not enough
of the west winds to restore tone to the
system. Hence, those who have consump-
ton, or the seeds of it, do not recover in
the Mississippi Valley
The west winds, on the Pacific coast,
blow, like our east winds, from the ocean,
and are damp and cool. They are thor
oughly dried out, however, in crossing the
mountains and plains, and blow salubri-
ously in Minnesota. In this favored place
the east winds of the Atlantic have no
force. The air is bracing, highly oxygen
lied, and never chilly in the coolest weather.
The Gulf winds have turned toward the
east before reaching this latitude, and
there is nothing to impair the tone of the
atmosphere, which, says Mr.. Bill, "in tho
winter is like a wine, so exhilarating are
its effects on the system, while its extreme
dryness and elasticity prevent any discom-
fort from the cold which is such bugbear
to many" The summer is hotter than in
other regions in corresponding latitude,
but the atmosphere is still dry, and tho
heat is not oppressive.
The reports of the last census show the
average number of deaths from consump-
tion to be one in 254 in Massachusetts,; one
in 473 in New York; one in 757 in Virgin
ia; one in 1139 in Minnesota. But this es-
innate hardly gives the State fair show
ing; for the proportion of natives is still
small, while the proportion of consumptives
who 60 there is large above the average.
The climate of Florida is favorable to in
valids in another manner: it is moist, mild,
and equable, and works good effects with
those who are in depressed spirits. 1t is
the place for those who suffer from mental
or emotional shocks
The Cecil Whig., 1871-07-29

AT the dinner of an Irish Association,
not long since, the following toast was
given; "Here's to the President of the
Society, Patrick O'Rafferty, an may he
live to eat the chicken that scratches over
his grave"
-"My DEAR" said husband to his wife,
''rm going to start a coffee plantation"
"How'll you get the land?" "Oh there's
no trouble about that; Ialways have plenty
off coffee grounds in my cup"
-"1t is settled principle, your honor,
said lawyer, "that causes always pro.
duce effects" "They always do for the
attorney" blandly responded the Judge;
"but I've sometimes known single case
to deprive client of all his effects %
-"My DEAR" said Mrs. Bundle to her
daughter, "you must have something
warm around you in the carriage" Miss
b. mentioned the request to her beau, and
he Immediately complied with it.
Two sections meeting theother day,
one OF them remarked ON tho vast increase
OF mortality. "Well," replied the other,
you're luckier than me; for I haven't
buried living soul these three weeks"
-"Good morning Mr.. Henpeck," said a
printer in search of female compositors.
Have you any daughters who would make
good type-setters? "No, but 1 have a
wife who would make a fine devil"

E. W. Harper to Mr.. VIM. SILL of Phila-
delphia, describes the jeff Davis plantation,
under its present occupants Every one
will see retributive justice brought home
to the hearthstone, if not the heart, of the
arch traitor:
MOBILE, July 5, 1871.
Ny DEAR FRIEND:-It is said that truth
is stranger than fiction; and if ten years
since some one had entered my humble log
house and seen me kneading bread and
making butter, and said that in less than
ten years you will be in the lecture field,
you will be a welcome guest under the roof
of the President of the Confederacy, tho
ugh not by special invitation from him,
that you will see his brothers former slave
a man of business and influence, that hun
dreds of oolored men will congregate on the
old baronial possessions, that school will
spring up there like we'll in the desert
dust, that this former slave will be magis-
trate upon that plantation. that labor will
under the sole auspices and moulding hands
of this man and his sons will be developed
a business whose transactions will be num-
bered in hundreds of thousands of dollars,
would you not have smiled incredulously?
And I have lived to see the day when the
plantation has passed into hands that once
wore the fetters of slavery. Mr.. Montgom-
cry, the present proprietor by contract of
between five and six thousand acres of land,
has one of the most interesting families
that have seen in the South. They are
building up a future which if exceptional
now hope will become more general here
after. Every hand of his family is adding
its quota to the success of this experiment
of colored man both trading and farming
on an extensive scale. Last year his wife
took on her hands about 130 acres of land,
and with her force she raised about 107
bales Of cotton. She has a number of Or
phan children employed, and not only does
she supervise their labor, but she works
herself One daughter, an intelligent
young lady, is postmistress and believe
assistant book keeper. One son attends to
the planting interest, and another daugh-
ter attends to one of the stores. The busi-
ness of this firm of Montgomery & Sons
has amounted, understand, to between
three and four hundred thousand dollars in
year. stayed on the places several days
and was Hospitality entertained and kindly
treated.
