WHO WAS HEf
BY @. NJ. MARSHALL.

On droary November afternoon, in
the year 1866, Mr.. Blonger, senior mem
Der of the firm of Blouger & Co., machin-
lists and manufac cturers of marine engines,
established in 1903, was sitting before a
blazing fire in his Office at the east end of
London, when visitor was announced.
"Show him in, James," said the old gem
tleman, and continued the perusal of the
Times. A moment after the door opened
and a young man, apparently about
twenty-four years of age, plainly attired
entered and stood hat in hand, awaiting
the leisure Of the gentleman, who merely
glanced Mt the stranger and Immediately
resumed his paper, evidently thinking his
visitor to be person of no Importance.
After silence of few minutes, Mr..
Blonger laid down his paper, and looking
up, abruptly said:
"Weu, my good sir, what do you want
with me?"
"Arc you the elder Mr.. Blonger, in
quired the stranger with an unmistakable
American accent.

and successful business, but it is not ON
that account that have called upon you.
| am told that you have considerable in
nucncc with the chief persons in this gov
crnmcnt, and it is for that reason that |
pay you this visit"
Mr.. Blonger placed his gold-rimmed
spcctacles on his nose, and gazed in mute
a~tonishment ut his visitor, who contin-
ued

the results of which so vast that no hu-
man mind can comprehend them. In
short, can suspend the law OF graVita-
ton"
At This monstrous assertion Il look OF
alarm appeared upon the countcnance OF
the listener, butsas he compared his own
braWny frame with the slight figure OF
the lunatic before him, it gave place to Il
contemptuous smile, MS he answered
somewhat impNtently:
Well, well, my dear sir, perhaps you
can-pcrhaps you can; but | am not in
that line Of business, and you had better
apply to somebody else"

snatched the coil Of wire from around the
anvil, and it fell at once with terrific force,
crushing in portion Of the lloor. Il beg
your pardon, sir, is there any jugglery
about that, think you ?" he asked, with a
smile, and also sat down. The conversa-
ton that ensued was long and earnest,
and resulted in this conclusions: Mr.
Blonger was to notify one or two of his
personal friends in the cabinet several
scientific men OF high reputc, and two or
three prominent foreigners, the whole
number not to exceed twelve, that he
wished them to meet him in order TO in

be communicated. The young stranger
agreed TO repeat his experiments on the
occasion of the meeting, and explain the
process by means Of which they were ne
eomplished; for the present he declined
TO make any further revelations.
On the night of the 23d of November,
1866, there assembled in st. Georges

English Cabinet. four gentlemen well

Had Seen Kings Enough.

A gentleman ut Washington was re-
oucstrd on Saturday last by friend to
Join him on visit to the depot TO wit
ness the arrival Of the King Of the Sand
Witches.
"No,fsir, not much, growlcd the gen.
tlcman.
"Havc you ever seen a King in your
travels" inquired the friend, marveling
somewhat at his short answer.
Yes, sir" replied the gentleman. u
was once guilty of seeing three kings.
Then, after moments pause, went on to
say: and they cost me $3.50, sir. Those
were war times, however.
His friend suggested he must have
been in bad company.
Nv ell, don't know" says the gentle.
man, II thought | was in pretty good
company at the time. | called to see
those three kings in company with three
queens, another king, and an ace spot
and have never had any desire to see one
of the royal family since"
His friend saw the point. Said he
passed and shutfled on.

Sayin. and Having.

Either man must be content with
poverty all his life or else be willing to
DENY himself some luxuries, and save, to
lay the base of independence in the
future. But if man detics the future
and spends all that he earns, (whether
his earnings be one dollar or ten dollars
every day. let him look for lean and
hungry want ut some future time, for II
will surely come, no matter what ne
thinks. ....
To save is absolutely the only way to
get n solid fortune; there is 70 other GER
tain mode. Those who shut their eyes
and ears to these plain facts will be for
ever poor, and for their obstinate rejec-
ton of the truth, mayhap will die in rags
and filth. Let them so die and than
themselves. But, no! They take sort
of recDmpensc in curSing fortune. Great
waste of breath! They might as well
curse mountains and eternal hills. For
can tell them fortune does not give
away her real and substantial goods
She sells them to the highest bid
der, to the hardest and wiseSt worker for
| the boon. Men never make so fatal
mistake as when they think they are
mere creatures of fate; It's the shccrcst
folly in the world. Every man may
make or mar his life, which ever he may
choose. Fortune is for those who, by
| diligence, honesty, frusaity, place
themselves in position to grasp hold o.
fortune when it appears in view. The
best evidence of frugality is the five hun
drcd dollars or more standing in YOU
name ut the savings bank. The beS
evidence of honesty is both diligence
and frugality.

WE have received letter from Stout

WE have received letter from Stout
Mills, Gilmer county, saying that the
case of JOHN FoRsYTHE said TO be in
dicted for the murder of his companion,
PHINEAs BARTON, whom he claimed was
killed by falling meteor at Terror Pin
naclc, has created great discussion.
Our correspondent also wishes us to
state whether the story is true or not.
In reply, We have to say, that the
original account of the whole matter
was sent to us by a gentleman
of culture and position. He has not in
formed us whether or not the story WAS
true, or the coinage of his brain. But we
have seen it so much doubted, and in
many cases, SO positively denied, that we
would not advise our friends to bet on
its truth.
But true or false, it is certainly a
wonderful and interesting narration.

Negro Disturbances In the South.

We are in doubt whether it should be deemed
a good or bad omen that the recent bloody
and shocking collisions between the two races
have occurred in States like Kentucky and
Tennessee where the white population is so
large that it has nothing to fear from the polit-
ical ascendancy or the physical preponderance
Of the negroes. In neither of these States do
the blacks even hold the balance of power be-
tween the two parties Both are securely dem
ocratic by majorities which cannot be shaken
with the aid of the negro vote. The legisla-
ton of such States is in the hands of their
white citizens, all taxes are laid by their rep
resentatives, the people are perfectly safe from
the evils and perils of negro government which
oppress and incense the property holders of

GENERAL GRANT AND Mr.. FENToN. The
President has informed District Attorney
Bliss that he does not like the proposed
ticket Of Mr.. Cornell for Governor and Senator
Fenton for Lieutenant Governor. 'If were
. citizen of New York." said he, ''that' is a
ticket should certainly vote against" After
ward the President repeated the remark to Mr.
Cornell, and added that his name was not the
one he objected to- 1t logically follows that
General Grants objection is to Mr.. Fenton.
This does not look very promising for union
of the liberal republicans and the administra-
tion party this fall; but it may be intended to
force Mr. Fenton to speedy decision. In any
event, it would be well for him to examine the
matter, for the President Is gets.ug to be a
shrewd man and seems to understand NeY
Xork politics better than our own uoliticiana
