When Confederate Money Was Easy.

Money was so easily got, and its value
was so utterly uncertain, that we were
never able to determine what was fair
price for anything. We fell into the
habit of paying whatever was asked,
knowing that tomorrow we should have
to pay more. Speculation became the
easiest and surest thing imaginable.
The Spectator saw no risks of loss.
Every article of merchandise rose in
value every day, and TO buy anything
this week and sell it next was to make
an enormous profit quite as matter of
course. 10 uncertain were prices, or
rather so constantly did they tend mp
ward, that when cargo of cadet gray
cloths was brought into Charleston
once, an officer in my battery, attending
the sale, was able to secure enough Of
the cloth to make two suits of clothes,
without any expense whatever, merely
by specializing upon an immediate adj
vance. He became the purchaser, at
auction, of case of the goods, and had
no difficulty, as soon as the sale was
over, in finding merchant who was
glad to take his bargain off his hands,
giving him the cloth he wanted as a
premium. The officer could not posi-.
bly, have paid for the case of goods, bnt
there was nothing surer than that he
could sell again at an advance the mo-
ment the auctioneer's hammer fell on
the last lot of cloths.
/ am sometimes asked at what time
prices attained their highest point in
the Confederacy, and L find that men,
DRY fails TO answer the question salts
faotorily. They were about as high as
they could be in the fall of 1863, and
should be disposed to fix upon that as
the time when the climax was reached,
but for my consciousness that the law
of constant appreciation was fixed one
throughout the war. The financial con-
dition got steadily worse to the end.

"HOSTILE MEETING.v
An Affair or Honor Between Two Chivai-
rOua MObklians.

A Mobile telegram to an Atlanta
paper gives the appended particulars
of one of those pleasant little pistol
affairs for which that locality has be-
come famous
There was hostile meeting between
two well-known gentlemen Of this city
yesterday noon, a little way from Grand
Bay, but in the State OF Mississippi.
The gentlemen were Mr.. A. III. Tardy,
the insurance agent, and DIR. Benjamin
ID. Lay, the actuary of the Changers
Life and Health Insurance Company.
The origin, az we understand, arose
from letter from this city to promi-
nent Northern insurance journal, over
the signature of "X. Y. H., making
some comments upon the new company
with which DR.. Lay is connected. On
Monday DR.. Lay met Mr.. Tardy and
asked him if he was the author of
communication signed "X. Y. H." in
the Spectator. Mr.. Tardy said he was,
whereupon DIR. Lay slapped his face.
few words passed between them,
and then Mr.. Tardy sent TO DR.. Lay
written message, demanding satisfac-
ton for the insult, and referring to
Col. James Williams as authorized to
make any necessary arrangements
The message was answered, granting
any satisfaction demanded, aud refer
ring to Capt. p. nj. Murphy as author
lied, on the part of DR.. Lay, to ar
range matters. The result was the
choice of dueling- pistols, the meeting
TO be out of the State. the distance ten
PAGES, and the time Wednesday noon.
Mr.. Tardy and his friends left on Tues
day night, and repaired to Grand Bay,
and DR.. Lay and his friends left on
Wednesday morning for the same place.
The parties met, as by agreement,
and took carriages and drove until they
were over the line and in Mississippi.
AS it was agreed upon fer noon as the
time, there was no choice for position.
The distance was measured off, the
antagonists placed, and the dread
question asked, Gentlemen, ere You
ready? Fire one, two, three" At
the word one, sharp report was heard.
Tardy's pistol fell from his hand, he
clasped his breast convulsively, and
fell-a corpse. DIR. Lay returned to the
city Immediately, and was met on Gov
eminent street by gentleman who,
not knowing the duel had taken place,
jokingly asked the doctor whom he was
going to shoot? Bursting into tears,
he exclaimed, 9" My God don't ask me
anything about il.

Club-HOuse at WashingtOn-The Brit

"The Tiger"
Washington Cor. New York Graphic.l
John f. Chamberlin's Washington
Club House is now open in the late resi-.
dence of the British Minister and his
legation, on Farragut square and Cor
coran's Yard Seventeenth and streets.
1t is the most elaborate and spacious
gaming house and restaurant in the
United States and cost 800, 900. Mr..
Morrissey's Saratoga Club is a prim,
plain, business-hke affair compared with
it. although Morrissy's four large rooms
are larger than any OF Chamberlin s, but
the interior architecture of the Wash
ington Club is more novel and elegant
than would appear in any house built
especially for gaming purposes. 1t was
esteemed fit for Prince of the house
of Hanover Brunswick to make it his
home, and was erected by one of the
most substantial bankers in the United
States for his durable family mansion.
1t was rented by the British government
for $4,000 year in gold-equal to
SO, 900 or more in New York city-aud
has been the scene of the greatest par
ties and receptions ever given in Wash
lngton, viz, Charles Knapp's grand
social party in 1867 and the state recep-
ton of Prince Arthur in 1870.
This house was built thirty years or
more ago by Elisha Riggs, brother of
George Riggs, the son OF the founder
OF the house of Peabody, Riggs &c Co.,
atterward George Peabody & Co. The
Riggs brothers built adjoining each
other, George Riggs expendinQ upon
his establishment $50, 900, and Elisha q
less sum, Mr.. Corcoran, their associate,
afterward bought nearly square of
ground between their residences and
Lafayette Tor the Presidents square,
and remodeled upon it the old house
occupied by Daniel Webster and Joseph
Gales successfully. There he still re-
sides and the corner of his garden wall
is right across the street from the club
house where Chamberlin presides.
With this wall on one side, Farragut
square open on another side, the stables

berlin - in the rear, and shrubbery

this casino is both sequestered and
central.
Vixen Mr.. Knapp received this offer
for the legation he waited on George
Riggs and asked il he was willing to
pay $4,000 for the premises. Mr..
Riggs said "No." Hearing that Presi-
dent Grant also desired TO buy the
house it was proffered TO him with the
same refusal. Having exhausted the
courtesies of Business he accepted
Chamberlin's offer. It is understood
that Mr.. Riggs says that he does not
desire better neighbor.

A Man Who Wasn't Elated Over Be
coming a Millionaire.

We stated yesterday, on the authority
OF street rumor, that an uncle of
Michael Hogan, of West Troy, died re-.
Gently in Pennsylvania, leaving coal
lands valued at So, goo, 600, to portion
Of which Michael is heir. The rumor
was correct. Forty years ago Michael
Hogan, then u years of age, and an
uncle, the only survivors of a once
numerous family, came to this country
and adopted it as their own. Michael,
Woodworking, Industrious Young man,
finally took up his residence in West
Troy. The uncle went TO Pottsville,
Pa, or that vicinity, and. after labor
ing number Of years, purchased with
his earnings q large tract of land.
Michael also saved money, and in the
course of time laid by enough to start
himself in the grocery business, in
which it can be truthfully said he has
prospered. The venture of his uncle
turned out so be most profitable one.
The lands purchased by him were found
to contain abundance of coal, and by
judicious management he gradually in
creased his earthly store until at the
time of his death, which occurred a few
days ago, he was worth about So, 600
600. Last week Michael received in
formation from an attorney thai his
uncle, with whom he had not communi-
Gated for sixteen years, had died, and
that he was his only surviving her.
Michael was not at all elated at this an
nouncement, and appeared rather sorry
in fact that such good fortune had come
to him. He was getting old, he said,
and would not want so much money
besides he had enough for himself, wife
and daughter, and the possession of the
immense amount mentioned above would
only bring trouble and disgrace upon
his family eventually, as young people
nowadays did not know how to spend
money.-7roy (N. - Times.

How to Furnish a House.

The New York Times draws picture
of the time when our houses shall be
furnished as they should be: Heavy
rugs will partly cover the polished
floors. Paper of some neutral tint, free
from glaring figures, will stretch from
the richly-colored dado st the bottom
TO the gay border at the top. The
picture-rod will rot be of the eternal
gilt that wearies us now. 1t viii be
painted some decided color that will
harmonic with the prevailing shade OF
the whole room. Before the windows
and before the doors which open out
ward, curtains, heavy in texture and
subdued in tone, edged with strong
lace, will hang from wooden rings which
move freely on slender wooden rod
fastened to the sheathing. Rings and
rod will be of the hue of the picture
rod above. The sir gle curtain before
each opening will be Topped to one side /;
low bookcases, not overthree feet high,
dark wood relieved by n few chiseled
designs picked out IN color, will line
the wall No glass doors will disfgure
them. One general pattern, varied in
each piece, will stamp the furniture.

Franklin stoves which still Turk in the
garrets of old country houses, viii cast

close stove, the register, the CRATE, and
the radiator, will be tabooed. The
blaze of wood burning across brazen
and irons is something so beautiful that
no artist has ever succeeded in painting

tastes should be: Have an open wood
fire in the room in which you mean to

Il GENTLEMAN in q Western city sit

he had formerly been on terms of in

Bible with pin stuck through the
following verse "And now beseech
thee, lady, not as though 1 wrote new
commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another" After reading
it she stuck the pin through the fol-
lowing verse, and handed the book
back to him: Having many things to

paper and ink but / trust to come
unto you, and speak face to face, that
our Joy may be full"

IT has been sagaciously remarked
that woman's only reason for any
thing is because. This theory is
borne out by the way the girls operate
with counterfeit notes which come under
theirhands in the Treasury Department.
Gen. Spinner, who has had twelve
years experience in the work, says they
are worth ten times as much as the men
for such business. "A man always has
a reason for a counterfeit" says the
General, forty, maybe, but he is
wrong half the time. a woman never
has reason. She says tbs counterfeit
because it is counterfeit, and she is al
ways right-though she could not tell
how she found out If she were to be
hung for it..

IRELAND is of late years making a
very considerable showing in court
statistics. The indictable offenses in
that country are annually becoming re-
duced in numbers to a marked degree.
The past years statistics show IVA less
offenses than the year before, and 3, 923
less than ten years ago. Strange as it
may seem, the number Of criminal
breaches of the peace in Ireland has
been 16 per cent. lower than in the rest
Of Great Britain for five years. The
general condition of the people of Ire
land is also said to be steadily improv-
ing.

France buying $780, 900 bushels, Bel
GUM, $4,000 600, and the Netherlands
upward of 100000. Germany, too.
bought six times as much as she did

She cane along the little lane
Where all tho bushes dripped with rain,
And robins sang and sung again.
As II with sudden cheer delight,
For such world 20 fresh and bright,
To swIug and sing IN day and night.
But. coming down the little lane,
She did not heed the robins strain,
Nor feel the sunshine after rain.
A little face with two brown eyes,
A little form of tender size,
httle head not very wise;
A little heart 10 match the head,
A foolish nttle heart, thai bled
At every foolish word was said.
So, coming down the little lane
see her now, my little jane
Her foolish heart with foolish pain
Was aching. aching in her breast,
And all her pretty golden crest
Was dropping as If sore opprest.
And something, too. of anger's trace
Was on the flushed aud frowning face,
And in the footsteps quickened pace.
so swift she slept, so low she leant
Her pretty head, on thought intent,
She scarcely cav the way she went,
Nor saw the long, slim shadow fail
Across the little low stone wall
As some one rose up slim and tall
Rose mp, and came to meet her there;
youth, with something in his air
That, at a glance, revealed his share
In all this foolish, girlish pain,
This grief aud anger and dsdain,
That rent the heart Of little Jane.
With hastier steps than hers he came,
And in "a moment called her name;
And IN moment, red as flame,
she Olushed and blushed, and in her eyes
A sudden, soft and shy surprise
Did suddenly and softly rise.
''what. you ?" she cried al thought-they said -
Then stopped, aud blusned deeper red,
And lifted upher dropping head,
Shook back her lovely falling hair,
And archcd her neck, and strove to wear
A nonch0ant and sConful air.
A moment thus they held apart,
With lovers love aud lovers art;
Then swifs he caught her to his heart
What pleasure then was born of pain
What sunshine after cloud and rain,
AS they forgave and kissed again
Twas April then; he talked of May,
And planned therein a wedding day;
She blushed bat scarcely said him nay.
What pleasure now is mixed with pain
As, looging down the little lane
A graybepCd grown, see again.
Through twenty Apriis rain and mist
The little sweetheart that l kissed,
The little bride my folly missed

At the recent fair Of the Union Farmers
Association, held at West Enosburgh there
was the largest exhibition Of Jersey stock
ever got togetherin Franklin county. Among
the exhibitors, Hon. G. $ Fassett, of the
Board of Agriculture, showed four two years
old cows, with samples Of milk from each
in test tubes along with that from a good
native COW, 10 illustrate the superiority IN
creampercentage of the Jerseys over the
common stock, which in this case was about
two to one Mr.. Fassott also exhibited tho
butter product for one day of each Of these
cows, fed on grass alone, as follows

pounds Of milk yield of butter fifteen ounces
Dora, fifteen and threo-iourth pounds of milk
one pound and one ounce Of butter Daisy, M
teen pounds Of milk, one pound and two ounces
OF butter Jenny, nineteen and half pounds OF
