PemigewaSset was a sudden whim of
| Miss Ashurst's. She wanted quiet and
| a place to write in, and the old home
stead in which her great-grandmother
was born seeming to meet these condl-
tons, she wrote to offer herself as IN in
mate; and Mrs. Mauran, who WAS glad
TO add to her small income by IN occa-
SiOnal bOarlcr, gave pleased consent.
All manner of pretty things came out OF
the trunks TO adorn the simple chamber.
Miss AshurSt could not live without
artistic surroundings, and travelled al
ways with photographs, sketches, books,
small articles of rjrtu, and bits of bright
color in this or that. These disposed
on walls and table, with daintily
frillcd and embroidered overs laid
over the old-faShioned pillows, an
easel with its canvases and Oil-tubes in
one corner Miss Ashurst painted pic

sights unknown till now, and scarcely

A REMARKABLE sWINDLE.

One of the most unique swindles
on record is reported in the Paris
Evenement. About a month since
the Havre correspondent of a large
banking house in Paris received the
following letter from the head of his
firm: PARIS, Jan. -, 1879.
DEAR SIR: | write to warn you
that the principal son of our cashier
has disappeared with some POO, 900
francs in bills drawn upon you by
us. He will probably present them
in Havre shortly after the receipt of
this advice by you. Of course you
will refuse payment. As his father
is a very old and valued servant, we
have concluded not to cause him the
disgrace and modification of know
ing that his son is felon, You will
therefore allow the scoundrel to go
free. If you can manage to get rid
of bin by sending him to America,
advance him two or three hundred
louis, and let him go and hang him
self. Conidentislly.
The day after the receipt of this
letter by the Havre house, a young
man of fine address presented him
self and attempted to negotiate the
stolen bills. The letter was shown
him, and he fell on his knees in a
food of repentant tears. He ex-
pressed a Willingness to come to
America, and 250 louis Isl, 250)
were given him with many cautions
to reform.
The young man sailed for New
York next day, and the day after
the Havre house received an answer
to its letter of advice detailing the
fact. No bills had been stolen from
the Paris house, the letter originally
sent was forgery, and the principal
cashier has no son. The police of
New York we're notified to look for
this remarkable swindler, but no
light has yet been thrown on his !
in this country.

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

This body after session of forty :
FIVE days adjourned on last Monday
at II o'clock, and the members have
returned to their homes. In regard
to Treasury Jones, the Joint Fl"
nance Committee made supple>
mental report, in which they ac-
cepted the doubtful vouchers offered
by Col Jones, and the statements
made from memory, which reduced
the deficiency to about $4,000
Resolutions of censure were passed,
condemnatory Of Treasurer Jones
loose, negligent and inefficient man
agement, also authorizing the Gov
ernor to institute suit for any dam
ages, and to employ competent
clerk and book keeper to assist Col,
Jones in arranging the business Of
the office in a proper shape.

WHAT SHE DONE.

The Columbus Times has this
item
Mrs. Thomas Moore, of Mountain
Hill, Harris county, Georgia, aged 70
years, last year made with her own
hands one bale of cotton. She
ploughed the land well, hocd the
cotton, and picked it. She brought
it to market yesterday, and spen.
the money for which she sold it in
the purchase of such goods as she
needed. Why should young men
re pine when such noble deeds are
performed by our venerable woman
''Oh, ye tears y There's more in the
(wo)man than there is in the land.
Upon which the Augusta COnStit~-
tiOnaliSt comments as follows
Mrs. Moore is a better "man'
than thousands of youngsters in
Georgia, who curse lazy negroes,
and would not plough an acre of land
or make bale of cotton if the land
and material for SO doing furnished
gratis.

SNOW AVALANCHE.

We wonder often at the swift de-
struction of life in ancient Pompeii.
The miser grasps his gold the baker
dies before his oven, in which the
charred bread still remains the
soldier at his post still holds in death
his lance. In the recent snow avail
ance in the Rocky Mountain we see
how calamity comes in an instant,
and in a manner somewhat similar.
The way in which these avalanches
occurs is described "Around the
valley avalanches are caused by the
wind sweeping up on one side on the
mountain and forming a large drift
just over the ridge OH the opposite
side, which soon becomes to heavy,
and, detaching itself, plunges down
the mountain, increasing in size I'M
til moving mass of snow, covering
acres, and ten to forty feet thick,
sweeps with the rapidity of lightning
down into the canons, carrying eve
rything before it. Not soft snow,
but packe and jammed together SO
solid that the moment the mass stops
heavily loaded ore teams can be
driven anywhere on top of it, the
horses shoes only making On impress
sion" In one of these slides four
men we're overwhelmed in a little
log cabin. They were found after
ward quite dead The snow had
broken through the roof, and had
envelopsd them so suddenly that
they had not moved. They we're
not bruised in any way but had been
suffocated. One man sat there at the
table in the act of writing, the ink
stand not even having tipped over
but one smoking had probably heard
it coming one second before he was
struck, as his pipe lay between his
feet. There they sat moulded in the
snow, looking as natural as if alive,
Two men in bed lay with blanket:
over them as smoothly Sa if just
spread. The soft, insiduous noise
lessness of the coming snow makes
it all the more dangerous. The mass
comes down ever more suddenly thar
in the Alps, and with less warning

rREAsURER's DEFENCE.

The Savannah Advertiser don't
exactly understand the incorrect
ness of The State Treasurer's report.
And we kindly tell the editor of the
Advertiser that he never will know.
On the lst of January Jones report
ed cash on hand, 81, 1908, l28 IS. He
received since, Sl79,14l 80, max
ing a total of 81, 282,270 rs. lie
disbursed from January lst to Feb
ruary 9th, S60,295 0G. This should
have left in the Treasury $l,22l,-
.975 y.
But we really fnd only one hundred
and nth thousand dollars there. Ii
is difficult to understand this matter,
and the more it is explained the
cloudier it gets. The 1882, AGO the
committee said was reported as dis
bursed for certain purposes Treasur'
er Jones says was paid 1874, and i
it was why in the name of common
sense didn't he include it in his &C
count for that year 7

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

The Senate on Saturday passed
the Civil Rights Bill in the shape it
previously had been disposed of in
the House, by vote of thirty-eight
to twenty six.
President Grant has signed the
bill and it IS now law of the land +,
and must remain so until we can get
power in Congress to repeal it
The more impudent and arrogant
class of negroes will give us trouble,
but the better disposed negroes will
attend to their own business and
not push themselves where they are
not wanted. This bill was passed
in order to create strife and blood
shed, that the Radicals might have
some pretext for military interfer-
ence, and to keep their party in
power. But we hope our people
will be prudent and careful enough
to defeat their desired object, and
in 1876 we may witness the over
throw of the whole corrupt and des-
potic crew.

CONGRESS-.

The House on Saturday night
passedIthe Force Bill, suspending
ha6eaS corpus in Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Arkansas for two yesrs, a
movement for Grants third term. -
The bill went TO the Senate and was
read the second time.
This Congress, by constitutional
limitation, expired yesterday at II
o'clock, making for itself an infa :
nous record.
Grant during the term has lobby
ed for the passage of the Bsyonet
force bill and the Civil Rights bill,
and is working hard to secure a
third term.
Resolutions refusing to further in
terfere with Arkansas passed by a
vote of 1913 to SO. This is a power
full blow against the Administration.
Congress gives $50, 600 to the At
lanta Custom House, and work will
at once commence.

EXPULSION OF A NAVAL CADET.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 2G "A letter
from Annapolis says another cadet
has been dismissed from the Naval
Acadamy on account of the colored
cadet. During this week Gordon
Claude, of Annapolis, cadet engineer,
was ordered to fence with the negro
midshipman, which he refused to do.
He was then told to resign. He
would not do that, though he dis,
liked to disobey orders. lie was
then informed that he should consult
with his parents. This he did,
when his father, DR.. Abram Claude,
said he should not advise him, lcav-
lug it to the youngmanS judgement.
DIR. Claude, however, went to the
superintendent and told him his son
was raised a southerner, and not on
social equality with the negro, and
he would not advise him to do wha'
he would not do himself. On this
Claude was expelled Wednesday.

TIE AMERICAN TRADE DOLLAR
The trade dollar which has been in
troduced in the coinage of the United
States promises to be of great value
to the country. 1t is a handsome
coin; unlike the Mexican dollars, it
is uniform in size and weight, and
the pure silver in it exceeds in value
that in either the old American dol
lar or the Mexican dollar, and is
about the same ac that of the Japa-
nese yen.

HAPPY HUSBANDS.

1t is a mans own fault if he is I'M
happy with his wife, in nine cases
out Of ten. 1t is very exceptional
woman who will not be all she can
be to an attentive husband, and a
more exceptional one who will not
be very disagreeable if she finds her.
self wilfully neglected. 1t would be
very easy to hate man, who, having
bound a woman to him, makes no eff
fort to make her happy; hard not to
love one who was constant and tender;
and when a woman loves she always
tries 70 please.
The great men of this world have
often been wretched in their domes
tic relations, while mean and COM
mon men have been exceedingly
happy. The reason is very plain
Absorbed in themselves, those who
desired the worlds applause were
careless of the little world at home !;
while those who had none Of this ego
t:sm strove to keep the hearts that
we're their own, and were happy in
their tenderness.
No woman will love a man thu bet
ter for being renowned or prominent.
Though he be first among men she
will only be prouder, not fonder;
and if she loses him through this re
nown, as if often the case, she will
not even be proud. But give her
love, appreciation, kindness, and
there is no sacrifice she would not
make for his content and comfort. -
The man who loves her we'll, is he?
hero, AID her king. No less hero
to her though he is not one to any
other; no less king though his only
kingdom is her heart at home.

A GIRL was smothered to dealt
while on a sleigh ride near Bangor,
Maine, on one of the recent intense
ly cold nights. A party of young
people were out on a frolic, filling a
long sleigh. The girl grew very
cold and to keep her warm her
sweetheart wrapped her closely in a
huge blanket, covering her head and
face. Too drowsy and benumbed
to stir, she suflocated without her
companions being aware that she

THE severity of the extremely
cold weather at the North is said to
have played havoc with the birds of
the air and the waterfowl. Thou
sands of crows have been starved
and frozen to death. They have
also been found blind, unable to nav
igate from loss of sight, and helpless
from cold and want of food. This
blindness is caused by the starved
birds picking each others eyes out
at night on their roosts, where, III
their reduced stale from hunger,
they fight with desperation, and
practice in extremity a sort of fierce
cannibalism on each other. Many
wild ducks have been captured,
stupefed and starving.

The New York World complains
that another outrage has been per
petrated on the colored people Of
Mississippi. A negro has been
seized and deprived of his liberty,
and consequently of his right to vote,
merely because he had attempted to
wreck railway train by placing Oh
structions on the track. Has it
come to this, exclaims the World,
that a peaceable and orderly colored
citizen cannot place a few trihing
Instructions upon a railway track
without mourning persecution and
violence 7 This is the result Of per-
hitting white MssissiPpians to form
reasonable organizations under

A good story is told of an old far
mer, whose son had for a long time
been ostensibly studying Latin in a
popular academy. The farmer not
being perfectly satisfied with the
course and conduct of the young
hopeful, recalled him from school,
and placing him by the side of cart
one day, thus addressed him: "Now,
Joseph, here is fork, and there is
a heap of manure and cart; what do
you call them in Latin 7" "Forki-
bus, cartibus, ct ranuribus," said
Joseph. "Well, now" said the old
man, "if you don't take that forki-
bus pretty quickibus, and pitch that
manuribus into that cartibus, I'll
break your damn lazy backibus."
Joseph went to workibus forthwith
