SECRETARY KEYS FARM NC En-.
PERIENCE.

Postmaster General Key said in a
speech at Charlotte that he had always
felt peculiar interest in North Carolina.
When Joe Johnston sarmy surrendered,
he was compelled to seek refuge in that
state among the relatives and friends of
his wife. He had no money and no
means of support, his only possession
being a poor blind mule. He went up
into Caldwell county, rented farm, and
with his blind mule raised crop of corn.
This he sold for fifty cents per bushel,
and upon the money obtained from this.
together with tie proceeds from the sale
Of his mule, he returned to his home in
east Tennessee. While, therefore, his
sojourn in North Carolina was not of
the most pleasant character, for the rea.
SONS mentioned, still it offered him a
home when he could not live in his own
house.

THE HOUMINIfS CIPITiL.

A correspondent of the London News
describes Bucharest as warm in the sun.
cool indoors, its harrow streets filled
with carriages, and its pavements with
idlers gayly dressed. In dozen pretty
palaces Madame receives every night,
and the Chaussee, the Hyde Park of the
city, is full from noon till dark. The
foliage of its lime avenues is exquisitely
tender, and the hedges of a pale-leaved
shrub are pink with flowers. There are
winding paths in every direction, res
Onant with nightingles in the hours of
darkness, but softly filled by day with
the eternal drotestations of Romeo and
the tender signs of Juliet. The young
lady drives with mamma in splendid
perblane, with a Muscovite coachman
who knows no pace but a gallop. The
gentleman follows, languidly basking in
the sunshine of life and love, and the
pair wander apart-not very far, for both
wear beautiful shoes, too small. and
neither has walked mile since birth.
The Chaussee is terribl. place f,r
bachelors. When the carriages draw
together before the cafe. AMI dark eyes
beam upon the cavalier. and softest ac-
cent in the world fntreats him to fetch
an ice, he feel his loneliness with despair;
but when he flies the scene AMI in each
sheltered path hears the cooling of afii-
anced lovers his selfcon,empt bee ,me-
So it happens that there
are neither bachelors nor old maids at
Bucharest.

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
nave always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought
over one day may be universally adopted al
another, and those sacrificed regarded as
heroes and martyrs. Medicine has also been
subject to revolutionary disturbances. When
Drs. Harvey and Jenner annOuced their dis
coveries, they were held in contempt and
