psrture from your hospitable mansion.
In fact, when I made up my mind on the
spur Of the moment to leave your afiee.
ionAte eare, was afraid to trust myself
n taking formal devastating Of you
for fear that in your we'll known hospi-
tality you might insist upon my stopping
the full length Of my promised visit love
years) with you, but my we'll known diff
denee TO imposing my company on any
one, no matter how welcome | might be
assured l would Be, kept me from stop
ping with you longer.
wish 10 assure You that | fully aP.
prAciate your extreme good feeling TO.
wards me in turning out your large force
Of attendants, guards, &c., TO do honor
a. soon as my departure was dis
covered. Unperceived BY them, on
one or two occasions, closely
watched their zeal on your behalf TO
discover my Whereabouts, and it is with
shame roEn il, i so far forgot myself As
to play the eavesdropper to their CONVEX
sation relating 10 myself, and TO discover
and return me, with all hOnors due me, to
your mansion. One place in particular
returns in vivid force TO me; it Was Al
Povhattan Point. / was reclining on the
grass in the brush, alter my someShat
hasty ramble, when the guards, Capt. Is
rsel, VIM. McCafery, "Jake, and,
think, Mr.. Arnold, appeared on the
scene. After holding = council OF var,
MeCafFsry crossed the river. ! Was con.
siderably amused, and l may say honored
when ] beard him give = fisherman vain
ing 10 be on the lockout for me, and de-
scribe my clothes TO him, and offer him
$500 for my return to your mansion: The
fisherman asked him il twas dead man
| that he vas to look for, but Nc. informed
him, with more force than politeness,
that was TOO id lively. The desCriP.
ton he gave Dime Was goodin all respects
except concerning the coat did not
put one on before leaving.
know you will be glad to hear that |
am doing frst-rate and living on the fat
Of the land.
You must apologize to Ar. Davis and
Lieut.. Scroggins to me for not stopping
long enoug6 for them to have the great
pleasure Of seeing me locked up,
or, / should say, confined to my
room as they promised l should
Be on the Sunday following my depar'
tule. l am sorry that cannot re
turn the pair OF pantaloons appropriate
ed on my departure, but you can pay the
party owning them for me, and pay your
seli out Of what you can get for the ele-
CANT wardrobe l left in your care.
Yours, and ever

the present year Is none the les So
Winter before last will long be remsTn-
ber3d for its length and severity. The
following summer was also noted for It's
GOODNESS as we'll a. for Its unusual
fall Of rain. Last winter was AZ remafks
able as It's immediate forerunner for its
mildness no less than for its length. In
deed it fingered I'LL after May had long
been with US. Then We enjoyed tolerable
weather until the last week in June, when
that heated air sWooped down upon US,
which caused 60 much suffering and loss
Of time. Another singular fact is, that

temperature differs widely. Remember

for the campaign. A reporter for the

take NOTES, but Immediately came out
with the air OF man whose tender ieel.
ings had been triaed with by the hind
leg Of . mule. In relating his experience
he said: Il was not removed from the
room BY force. Oh mol I was simply
ga1ed upon with an appalling stare, and
greeted with 4 strong silence which froIe
the marrow in my bones. When ! saw
that l Tas impeding business, and that
the country would not be saved while l
was there, | grasped my hat, dropped a
sickly smile and departed. Iguess that
they didn't want their proceedings made
