Authors who are Loved.

The company before that famous
Backlog" of Warner's, discourse
as follows in the forthcoming nun
Der Of Scribner's:
THE FTRE.TENDER. Doubtless to
go back to what we were talking
of, the world has q fondness for
some authors and thinks of them
with an affectionate and half pity
ing familiarity; and it may be that
this grows out Of something in their
lives quite as much as anything in
their writings. There seems to be
more disposition of personal liking
TO ,Thack cray than to Dickens, now
both dead---a resultzthat would
hardly have been predicted when
the world was icrying over Lit1e
Nell, or agreeing to hate Becky
Sharpe.

who knew Lamb very well. One of
them told mo, as illustrating his
want of dignity, that as he was GO
ing home late ono night through the
nearly empty streets, he was met by
a roistering party who were making
a night of it from tavern to tavern.
They fell upon Lamb, attracted by
his odd figure and hesitating man
ner, and hosting him on their
shoulders, carried him off, singing
as they went. Lamb enjoyed the
lark. and did not tell them who he
was. When they were tired of lug

much effort and difficulty, to the top
ORA high wall, and left him there
amid the broken bottles, utterly un-
able to get down. Lamb remained
there philosophically in the enjoy

THE GAIN OF SUNDAY REST
Says Lord Macaulay: ave are not
poorer, but richer, because we have
through many ages, rested from our
labor one day in seven. That day
is not lost. While industry is sus-
pended, while the Exchange is ST.
lent, while no smoke issues from the
factory, a process is going on quite
rs important to the wealth of the
nation as any process which is per-
formed on more busy days. Man,
the machine of inachineS-the ma
chine compared with which all the
contrivances of the Watts and Ark
wrights are worthless-is repairing
aud winding up, so that he returns
to his labors ON the Monday with
clearer intellect, with livelier spirits
and renewed corporeal vigor."

First 1 called on my liquid eye
brunette friend. Miss Sallie Morris,
of Madison avenue. Now I've
j spent good deal OF money on Miss
Sallie for operas, bouquets, Delmon-
leo lunches, &c. I've been trying
for two years TO win her affections
Last night, full Of love and hope,
l rang old Morris door bell. In a
moment Miss Sallie was by myself
on the retired sofa. After speaking
of the coming opera I felt her vel
vety hands touch mine.
"Do you know, Mr.. Perkins,"
she said, looking, me straight in the
iface, "ethat to-day is our proposing

"And costing me a good deal for

then the beautiful child hid her face
on my bosom.
"Do not fear my answer, beauti-

is it that weighs upon your sorrow

"Ohl Eli, it is love-" she said,
sobbing wildly, and twisting her
jeweled fingers in my auburn hair.
eHeaven be praised!" 1 sighed, as |
I felt the beating of her heart against
my vest. "For whom is this love,

idea, after all. Senator Wilson, in his
history of the 'sRise and Fall of the
Slave Power in America" gives curl
Gus instance of case where the govern
ment of the United States allowed and
paid a claim for consequential" dam
ages. After the close of the Seminole
war, $1,000 was paid by the United
States to the citizens of Georgia as COM
pensation for slaves who had escaped in
to Florida. The owners of these slaves
subsequently presented further claim
of $141, 900 as compensation for the
children that the female slaves might
have borne to their masters had they re-
mained in bondage, as such children, if
born, would have been, under, the laws
of Georgia, slaves and ''consequentially"
property. Congress allowed and paid
the sum claimed, $141, 900, for children
which never had been born, but might
have been born, If the women had con-
tinued in servitude. The damages were
consequential" with a vengeance.

TELEGRAPHIC FEAT.-The New York
Eyeniug Post calls attention to the fact,
as great telegraphic feat, that the
Presidents Message twas transmitted to
New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore
in about forty-five minutes, which is the
shortest time ever attained with SO long
a document. Twelve wires were used,
and the weather was favorable for work
ing purposes. There are eleven thousand
three hundred and thirty-nine words in
the message" There were, of course.
twelve operators, each engaged in the
transmission and receipt Of the message,
and forty-ive minutes for each operator
would make the time occupied in the
tranmission, as well as in its receipt,
nine hours. If this is great feat for
Washington, New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore operators, we will pit our
regular night operator, who takes all our
pres telegraph reports, against the
world. Monday night, SOLITARY and
alone" he received and wrote out the
entire message, eleven thousand three.
hundred and thirty-nine words, in seoen
hoars. When he had finished the mes
sage, he was ready for more. He beat
the Washington, New York, Baltimore
and Philadelphia operators by tsoo hours
and as if this was not enough, like Oil
yer Twist, asked for ''more.

BURGLARS AROUND. - The dwelling
house at the corner of West and Pine
streets, in this village, was entered by
burglars, during the night of Thursday
and silver watch and twenty-five dol
lars in money stolen therefrom. 1t APP
pears that two families reside in the
house and, for their convenience, proba-
bly, the outside or street door had been
left unfastened, through which an easy
entrance into the building was effected.
They then passed up stairs to the sleep
ing apartments, occupied by Albert Hut
Crimson, and while he and his family
were sleeping in the same room, abstract
ed his pocket-book, containing twenty
five dollars, and silver watch, together
with the case in which it was hanging.
Having secured their plunder, they made
their escape without awakening any per-
son In the house or attracting observa-
tion elsewhere. 1t is evident that the
country, at this time, is full of burglars
and that they are busily at work plying
their vocation. We can hardly take up
a newspaper, whether published in city
or country, that does not contain notices
of one or more burglaries. In st. Albans,
Tuesday night, Gallar's meat market
was entered and some five dollars in
change taken Merrifeld's bookstore was
visited and the money drawer emptied;
the hardware store of Farrar Brothers
and the Elm street school house were
also the recipients of similar attentions.
This, be it remembered, is only the re-
cord of one night in place smaller than
Rutland, and we state these facts SIM
ply as specimen of their wholesale
operations. A similar condition of af-
fairs exists throughout the country.
There is reason to believe that we shall
soon have further depredations to record,
in Rutland, unless the utmost vigilance
is used. We already hear of numerous
well authenticated cases, where prowl-
ing strangers have been seen and heard
around the houses and in the yards of
our citizens, who, upon Che first appear
ance of activity on the part of the in
mates of the houses, immediately disap-
peared and escaped, unrecognized, in the
darkness. Too much care cannot be
used to see that the doors are securely
locked and bolted, and the windows
fastened. Do not invite these visits by
your own cRrelessness. Bolts, locks and
watchfulness are the only sure protec-
ton against these. inroads. An ounce of
is worth a pound of cure.

TIE NORTH CAROLINA SENAToRsHIP.
The deadlock in the Legislature of the
Old North State. consequent upon the
difficulties experienced in selecting a
popular United States Senator has at
length been broken. 1t will be remem-
bered that Ex-Governor Vance and Judge
Merrimon have both been soliciting the
honor on the Conservative side against
John Pool, the Republican candidate.
For nearly week past the struggle has
been going on between the contestants,
ZACH ballot giving different result. All
legislation was suspended during this
conflict. At length, after much bolting
and party harrassing, Judge Merrimon
has been elected, the vote Tuesday re-
sulting as follows Vance, 80; Merri-
mon, 81. A special dispatch to the New
York Herald, from Raleigh, says; "Ihe
widest excitement prevailed in the
House when the vote electing Merrimon
senator was announced, and much i'll
feeling and disappointment were mani
tested among Vance men, and the breach
between the Merrimon and Vance Con-
'eryatives is evident, and it will not be
healed, while a permanent coalition OF
'ae Republicans and Merrimon Conser-
Vatives is beyond all question.
