CRSAR'S WIFE.
The Truth of History.

Says a correspondent in yester-
days Tribune, "Mr. Swisshelm may
have been an eyewitness to innum-
cradle instances of the kissing she
mentions; but, let us hope she kept
herself, like Caesars wife, above re-
proach."
We have got tired of this quota
ton, as it misleads the reader. C@
sar's wife was not above reproach or
suspicion, as it is generally written,
The innumerable multitude who
put into everything they write the
fine old crusty remark about Caesars
wife being above suspicion will please
take notice that she was not above
suspicion, and that Caesar divorced
himself from her on that ground
Calphurnia, the wife in question,
was missed, or, to state it palmer, Sc
duced, by CIodiuS. Caesar declined
to prosecute the latter for political
reasons and the criminal was there
fore acquitted after sham trial.
His wife he promptly flung away,
but he would not jeopardize his pow
er with his own party just then by
demanding the punishment of him
who had debauched her. Clodius
belonged to Caesars political party,
and was very Influential with the
common people, though hated by the
patricians. The intrusion of the
lecherous demagogue into the house
hold of the great triumvir, and the
seduction of his wife, became noto>
rious in Rome. A word spoken by
the injured husband would have in
sured his condemn alton and death,
but Caesar would not speak. lie
contented himself by procuring a di-
vorce from his false wife, who denied
the proof of her guilt, and by declar
ing that Caesars wife must not even
be suspected" or by another transla-
ton that "C@sar's wife ought to be
above suspicion )" but she was not.
She has figured as a model of purity
and virtue long enough. Persons in
search OF such a model will please
take some other woman.

breakfast, or just as you are sitting
down to dinner, and draw up their
chairs like one Of the family.-Early

of coming down, and there they will
sit and watch you make your toilet,
and comment on how gray your hair

JASPER, PICKENS COUNTY.

Jasper is little country town sit
uated about the center of Pickens
county, Ga, 60 miles north of At
lanta and has a gross of inhabitants,
more or less, aud is surrounded with
as fine picturesque scenery as Switz-
erland Or any other country can
boast of. There is the beautiful
Long Swamp Mountains with their
lofty SUBMITS, on the east of which
is fall of white marble, and at one
view you can see enough Of it to
build all the culverts and depots on
the North Georgia Railroad from
Marietta to Cincinnati, Ohio, and
then have plenty left.
Sharp Mountain surrounded with
her hills and rich valleys is on the
Southwest. Then there is another
peculiarly about these mountains,
there are hundred and one little
branches that wind through the hol
lows, where the worm never gets
cold and the spirits are not quench
ed. These vast mountains of mar
biz are now lying idle waiting only
fo: the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad to be finished to bring en-
terprising men and capital to devel-
op their great resources. May the
good Lord let McAfee & Co., live
and the people help them speed the
road to Jasper, and we will have the
garden spot of Georgia. The people
in Pickens are in fine spirits now
about the road. They believe it

A SINGULAR DREAM AND lTS
STRANGE FULFILLMENT.-The fol-
lowing curious dream and it's pro
phetic fulfllmcnt may serve tc inter-
est those who are curious as regards
premonitions and presentiments of
death. A lady of tho first respecta-
bility vouches for the truth OF the
story, and from the high character
of the parties we have not the least
hesitation in publishing it as a fact.
Not more than month ago our lady
informant's mother dreamed she was
on a visit at her fathers house in
Baltimore. While there her father
called her into an unoccupied room,
containing only two sombre looking
collins. She asked him why he
kept snch mournful reminders Of the
end Of man in his house, and for
whom were they intended His on
ly reply, as he pointed to the collins,
was, zone is for me and the other
for you" There was rothing Of the
usual feeling of terror produced by
such dreams experienced by the la
dy on ibis occasion, and the dream
made little impression on her mind
at the time. But week scarcely
elapsed she was summoned to the
death bed of her father, aud on Sun
day last she joined him in the spirit
land. -CtmberIand (Nd.) Times,

A SAD STORY OF THE REVERSE
OF FORTUNE.

The New York Post gives the fol-
lowing touching episode in New
York life:
employed as scrub-woman in
the new County Court House was a
woman named Mrs. Thompson, who
once drove in her carriage and had
liveried servants to wait on Cher
Her husband was the Mr.. Tho@p>
son who took the contract to supply
the marble for A. L. Stewards new
residence at Fifth avenue and Thir>
ty fourth street. The contract was
made before the war, and resulted
in the financial ruin of Mr.. Thomp-
son, whose mind became affected by
his losses, and he died insane. Last
week Mrs. Thompson was removed
from her place as cleaner of the
Court House, by Commissioner Fitz
John Porter, who doubtless was not
aware of the circumstances above
stated. The matter came to the
ears of the Mayor, and be went i'm
mediately to the office of Commits
sioner Porter and had Mrs. Thomp-
son restored to her humble posi-
ton"
We venture..the opinion, says the
Savannah News, that such a case Of
chilling inhumanity which the poet
tells US ,"makes countless millions
MOURN" could never occur in a
Southern community. What must
be the measure of the millionaire
A. T. Stewards benevolence, who
would see the widow of the man who
had been driven to insanity and
death by losses sustained in furnish>
ing marble for one of his palaces, re-
duced from a life of luxury and res
finement to the laborious and degra-
dod occupation of a scrub woman ~
And ye. this poor woman in her
poverty may be the richer of the
two.

SILVER REsUMPTIoN.--lt is stated
from Washington that the Secretary
of the Treasury has already begun
in good earnest his preparations for
the resumption Of silver payments.
He is required to do so by act Of
Congress, and therefore the Secre-
tary himselfis not to be regarded as
subject to criticism for his action in
this matter. In buying 81, &c.,
Of silver bullion and setting the
minis in full activity, he is simply
carrying out an act of legislation
first suggested by the President and
then adopted by Congress. But
what is likely to be the result The
New York Bulletin answers thus, as
it has been ansN cred before, by say
ing that silver coin is intended to
circulate on a par with paper cur
rency, can in fact have 10 other cir
culs!ion; and yet, with the price of
gold over 10, the silver will be
worth more than the paper and the
difference will be sufficient to afford
handsome profit to bullion dealers
on buying it up. The new coin,
therefore, as fast as it appears, I'M
der such a condition Of the gold pre-
MUM, will disappear from circula-
ton and 60 out Of the country in the
ordinary way ofexport. Yet, mean
time, the fractional curreucy will be
destroyed as fast SIS the silver is pu'
ia circulation. We shall thus be
getting rid of one most necessary
form Of circulation without having
any certainty that We can Perma>
nently replace it by another.

MONKEYS MADE TO WORK.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: In
the straits settlements of the east
large apes of naturally intelligent
breeds are employed by,their masters
much in the same way that human
slaves are made use of in some parts
of Africa. The cocoanut palm is
is valuable for its fruit, but this is
very difficult to procure, so the land
lord of tope' of palms in the Ma
layan peninsula trains his apes to
climb the trees and judicously pick
the ripest nuts for him, just as the Mo-
zambiqe Arab trains his negroes to
perform the same arduous office.
But there appears to be slight diff
ference between the two cases the
apes seem to delight in the work.
We learn from some correspondence
in a Ceylon newspaper that the apes
thus employed in the neighborhood
of Singapore and Penang are bred
ia Atchin, and the owners itinerate
and hire them out. They go up the
trees with line attached, and obey
the command Of their masters, choos-
ing the proper fruit. They twist the
nat round and round till it falls down
from its stalk, when the feat is hail
ed on the part OF the apes by jumps
and chucklos of evident satisfaction.
The correspondent of the CeyIon
Journal says he has frequently
stopped at the police station at Tun
gey Bakup, and had a 'kurumba' sent
down from the cocoanut trees in this
fashion,"
