The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-03-21

A correspondent Of the London Times
has had Al interview with the Count do
Chsmbord, at Antwerp, and relntes the
conversation for the benefit Of the pub
lie. The Count does not contem plate
returning to France in his present posi-
tion. He cannot always live there in
cognito, neither can he live there as a
private citizen. He represents himself
as being in favor of representative
monarchy, and universal suffrage, as dis.
tinguished from ''universal chance"
which at present very frequently controls
the choice of electors. BE stigmatizes
as calumnious the assertions of his oppo-
nents that he desires to re establish spe-
cial feudal rights, recouetitute castles. and
restore to the clergy it's ancient powers
and wealth. He aspires to be the
monarch of the entire nation, notwith-
standing any of it's prerogatives. and re-
specting liberty of conscience and of
creeds. Ia reference to restoring the
Pope TO his temporal power. the Count
merely said that the Holy Father knows
that he must rely upon One who is moro
powerful than earthly kings. In conclu-
sion, he stated that he had. for the pro-
Hent, abandoned the intention of pro.
duoing another manifesto. It appears to
him that it would be useless to write
again now; but whom the proper moment
arrives he will speak, and explain him
self in manner that will dispel all
doubts as to his position and Intentions.

Our Public Men.

Jefferson died comparatively poor; indeed,
if Congress had not purchased his library,
and given him five times its value, he would
with difficulty have kept the volt from the
door.
Madison saved money and was compare
lively rich. TO add to his fortune, however,
or rather to that of his widow, Congress pur-
chased his manuscript papers and paid $780,
900 for them.
James Monroe, the sixth President of the
United States, died in New York so poor that
his remains found resting place through the
charity of his friends.
Martin Van Buren died very rich. Through
out his political life he looked out for his inter
est. 1t is not believed that he ever spent
thirty shillings in politics. His party shook
the bush and he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered million dollar
in his lite, the product of his professiOal anC
political speculations He died leaving prop
erty to his children and his debts to his friends
The former sold for less than $4,000; tn
latter exceeding $250,000.
Henry Clay left a handsome estate.
probably exceeded 100000. He was pru
dent manager and a scrupulOusly honest ma
in all his transactions.
James K. Polk left about $l50,000; $50
900 of which he saved from his Presidency {
four years.
John Tyler left $4,000. Before he reache
, the Presidency he was bankrupt In ofiC
he husbanded his means and then married
rich wife.
, Zachary Taylor left $l5OOO0
e Millard Fillmore Is a wealthy man ar
e keeps his money in strong box. 1t will n
be swallowed up in speculation nor sqandert
in vice.
Ex-President Pierce saved some $40,Ot
o from his term of office.

THE TRUsTY SERVANTS LEFT IN CHARGE
The Boston Commercial Bulletin thus notices
occurrences in some Of the deserted dwellings in
Boston during the summer season:
"If some Of our wealthy citizens could see
the use to which their mansions are put by
those left in charge of them during their
absence in the country they would open their
eyes bit, and various things incomprehensible
to them might be accounted for. 1t may not
be anything serious for gentlemen of Hibern-
ian persuasion to sit in the front windows of
fashionable residences IN their shirt-seeves,
smoking short pipes, but in one mansion the
Individual left used the large kitchen and lower
rooms as tailoring establishment. At
another, two women in charge this season DO a
Aourshing laundry business for customers
engaged 10 mechanical pursuits: The neigh
bors who do not entirely desert their comforta-
bic homes are treated to the sight of fine yard
and garden of wealthy citizen almost daily
filed with workmen's red shirts, oTeralls, and
other clothing of that nature, which is passed
through his excellent laundry during his
absence"

REMUNERATTONS OF MUSICIANS. The Bos-
ton correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says:
AS an evidence of the remunerativeness OF
the musical profession to those who have
achieved great success, the salaries paid in con-
nection with the recent Worlds Peace Jubilee
are to that point. Strauss was the best paid Of
any of the foreign artists He received 81, 500
for the season, besides guarantee S25O0 (gold)
benefit, together with transportation and ex-
penses of himself, wife and two servants. In
addition to this he received $1,000 (gold) for his
three New YOrk concerts, and sold his "Jubl-
lee Waltz" for $3.50, so that he went back to
Europe, after his three weeks visit, with about
$25, 900 in his pocket Madame Peschka.
Leutner received for the season of thirteen
concerts $l5,0O Franz Abt, who conducted
one of his own compositions at four concert:

| Goddard received $500 litesally for dOinl
nothing; Franz Bendel $4,000 and Wehli
$3.50 for two appearances. The sums paid K

Boston players $S per day. The home bras

week. The foreign bands cost about 50 pc
man day, exclusive of expenses and trans
pOrtation, board alone averaging about SO
day. The Irish band cost relatively NOR
than the rest-although they were the poores

AN AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.-"A few
days ago." says an Edinburg paper, "a
gentleman named Needham went to the River
Lea to bathe, taking with him favorite re-
triever dog, and, having undressed himself,
deposited his clOthes-containing valuable
gold watch and considerable sum OF money
ON the bank, leaving them in charge of the
dog, with iniunctons to mind them. This be did
somewhat too faithfully to be pleasant, for Mr..
Needham, having had his bath, emerged from
the water, advanced towards his clothes with
the intention of dressing himself, which the
dog,-whch was a young one, and did not
recognize his master without his clothes,-
would by no means permit, and resisted all his
| attempts to possess himself of them. In this
| dilemma Mr. Needham returned to the water,
and by dint of repeatedly whistling and calling
to the dog at length coaxed him to leave his
charge and 90 to him, but no sooner bad the
dog left the clothes than some men, who must
have been lurking near and witnessed what has
been described between the dog and his mas
ter, pounced upon the clothes and ran off with
them. Mr. Needham shouted to them to
come back, but of course, without avail, and,
situated as he was, he could not pursue them
so there was nothing for it, but to remain
where he was, which he did, till at length some
boatmen came by to whom he related what had
occurred, and they taking compassion upon hi
unfortunate predicament, kindly lent him ,
pair of boating trousers and coat, with which
he was enabled to reach home but up tS tht
: present time he has not been able to discove

At one of the theatres the other evening

In SACKCLoTH AND AsHEs.-A Saratoga
correspondent of the Albany Times says:
Among the recent arrivals at Saratoga is a
young gentleman of great fortune, who is a
regular summer visitor here, and who has in
vaIiably made great display. This season he
proposes to do the place on a queter scale, on
account of his mothers recent death. This is
how he goes about it: He has a suite of rooms
at the Congress that, under his supervision,
have been so arranged as to present a rather
sombre appearance, for, out OF respect of his
mothers memory, they have been put in
mourning. A deep black border runs around
the ceilings, while the wall paper is of very
gloomy color, the furniture, which is from
Egypt, is exceedingly grotesque in appearance
and mysterious in style; nothing like it has
ever before appeared in Saratoga The
gentleman announces that he will not enter
the ballroom this summer, but will entertain
his friends in his rooms-in an elegant anC
costly manner, of course-no levity. He is t
drive four-in-haud his groom aud coachmar
are to be attired in mourning; and mourning
lap robes, like funeral pals, are to be spread
over the seats of his carriages, which will b
painted in keeping with the habiliments o
woe. For these emblems of sackcloth ant
ashes he pays $500 per week. Shoddy society
calls this "flial devotion" and speaks of hin
as such good son, "but so odd and eccentric;
while common sense people are unkint
enough to call him a snob, aud one of the Outr
kind, .u...

When the Old White Hat was New

When the Old Hat was new. my boys,
The Democrats swore freely,
And day and night, with great delight.
They damned old Horace Greeley,
But now the change has oer them come,

They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Ohappaqua.

But Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
When the Old Hat was new,
The Democrats all cried we'll done,'
And said he'd Eot his due.
Aud swore they'd hang old Greeley next,
When the Old Hat was new.
When this Old Hat was new my boys,
Dan Voorhees, was the man.
Whose tall, proud form to victory led
The Democratic clan.
But now they have ruled Daniel out,
They say he will not do,
Because he stands right where he stood
When this Old hat was new.
But Daniel will not stand the storm;
He soon will come to "taw,'
He yet will sing in sweetest strains
The song OF Chappsqua.
Whom this Old Hat was new, my boys,
The very air was rent
With shouts from Democratic throats,
For white mans government"
Put now they are for equal rights.
TO every race aud hue,
They turn their back on all they said.
When this Old Hat was new.

DISCORDS.

1t had some grains OF truth, at least,
That fable Of the Sybarte,
Fer whom, because one leaf was creased,
The rose-strewn couch had no delight,
think not even sanguine youth
Expects its gold without alloy;
But this is still the sober truth;
little pain can mar much joy.
'Tis pity that one thwarting thought,
One adverse chance, one sudden fear,
Or sharp regret, can turn to naught
The full content that seemed so near!
But this strange life OF ours abounds
With notes so subtle they afford
A thousand discords and harsh sounds
Forou harmonious, perfect chord.
