Fosters Last DAYS.

The Times gives the following sketch of the
prison scene during the last day OF Foster:
Rising, the sound of the workmens' ham
mers erecting the scnffold grated on his ears,
and the sheriff engaged in watching him sab
sequenty said that at ever thud of the hammer
the doomed man tremhled like child. His
wife, ever faithful, ever trusting, ever COM
forting, was the first 10 call on him Passing
through the prison-yard she caught sight of
the gallows tree, and growing faint staggered
toward the inclosed door of the iail Her
brother, who was close behind her supported
her into the prison. Fosters cell door was
open, and Mrs. Foster sat down inside the
cell with him, her brother sitting opposite -
Through the open door the deputy sheritfs on
guard kept strict watch, and scrutinized every
act of the prisoner.
The Chaplain Of Sing Sing Prison, Rev. Mr..
Schoonmaker, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Tying
then came into the prison, and for over an
hour had an earnest talk with Foster. Mrs.
Foster finally broke down under the strain,
and began to weep, when she was taken away
by her brother: Next Sheriff Brennan and
Under Sheriff Stevens came in TO see Foster
but they remained but few moments.
The evening came on, and the day keepers
were relieved by the night men, Deputies See
hacher and Hamburg taking charge of the
prisoner. few minutes after this Mrs Fos-
Ter returned with her brother. Foster was
sitting in the corridor by the stove his legs
crossed, an old fur cap pulled down over his
eyes. and his face buried in his hands The
Deputy Sherfs were sitting little away from
him, unwilling 10 trespass on the privacy OF
his thouA hts
On the entrance of his wife into the corri-
dor Foster raised his head for a moment, and
then relapsed into his former condition of APP
parent apathy. Mrs. Foster, supported by her
brother, came slowly to him, and laid her
hand upon his shoulder
A chair was handed her by Deputy Sheriff
Seebacher, when, sitting down by her hus-
pand, she caught hold of his hand and said.
- ] have come back TO YOU Foster made
some reply ia a low tone of voice, and so the
wrelched man and wife con versed for over two
hours.
AT length the Deputies, feeling that the
time for the parting had arrived, whispered to
Foster that it was getting late.
He nodded, and few more words were ex-
changed, when Foster, rising slowly from
his chair, and placing his hands upon his
wife's shoulders said, % 1t is time to say
goodbye" and Immediately began crying
Mrs. Foster in a choking voice exclaimed
"Good-bye, goodbye forever" when Fos-
ter's feelings gaining ascendency over his
usual self-possesson he clasped her convulsive-
~ to his breast, and kissing her again and
again, said once more
. Goodbye dear; this is our last, last
good bye"
Mrs Foster Immediately tainted, when her
brother, after silently pressing Fosters hand,
carried her into the vestihnle of the prison,
where she revived. They then left for home.
Foster sank back into his chair, and hiding
his face in his hands, wept bitterly and in
utter silence.

WHERE THE SUv DOES NOT SET A scene
witnessed by some travellers in the North of
Norway, from a cliff one thousand feet above
the sea, is thus described
The ocean stretched away in silent vastness
at our feet the sound of waves scarcely reach
cd our airy lookout; away in the North the
huge old sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat of the pendulum in the tall
clock of our grandfather parlor corner. We
all stood silent, looking at our watches. When
both hands came together al twelve, midnight,
the full round orb hung triumphantly above
the waves a bridge Of gold running due north
spanning the water between us and him
There he shone in silent majesty; which knew
no setting. We Involuntary took off our hats;
no word was said. Combine, if YOU can, the
most brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever
saw, and the beauties will pale before the gor-
geous coloring which now lit up ocean, heav-
en- and mountain In half an hour the sun
had swung perceptibly on his beat. the colors
changed to those of morning, fresh breeze
rippled over the floor, one songster after ano-
Their piped up in the grove behind us-we had
slid another day.

LADY Receives S95, 900 IN MONEY FROM
the GOVERNMENT. During the lateswar cti-
zen of Savannah named Mcdaniel, purchased
a large amount of cotton and stored it in or
near that city. When Savannah was taken
possession of by the Yankees, this cotton was
taken possession of in the name Of the Gov
eminent Of the United States and confsca-
ted. Before and during the war Mcdaniel was
n man in df1luent circumstances, but like thou
sands of others the close of the war found him
reduced to poverty. Since then he has died,
and his widow has been making her own liv-
ing by personal exertions. She came to this
city, where she has earned support princi-
pally bv her needle. and has never murmured
at her lot BY advice she was induced to pnt
in claim Mt Washington for the cotton be-
longing to her husband The services of law
yers at the seat of Government were procured
TO prosecute the claim Mrs. Mcdaniel did not
sit down and await the Issue Of the suit but,
as stated above, went 10 work to secure an
honest living. Some days ago her lawyers at
Washington telecraphed for her to come on
and get the money, as the claim had been
granted She Immediately repaired to that
city, and on Yesterday, we learn, returned to
Atlanta bringing nineiy-fve thousand dollars
