Toombs of Georgia--.Hc Defines His
Position.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times reports q long interview with
Robert Toombs of Georgia, at one time
secretary OF state of the rebel Confeder-
acy. Among other things he said, in
reply to the question if he had ever
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States government:
"No, Sir. The last oath took was to
the Confederate States and shall never
take another. do not like the general
government, and 1 would not consent to
serve it in any capacity. It is a tempo
rary concern at best. The constitution
has no power within itself to enforce it.
self. 1t depends solely on the good faith
of the people, and that guarantee alone
cannot continue to bind together great
country of diverse interests. I have
never really believed since 1850 that
this Union was perpetuity. The
terrible experience of the late war will
probably deter any faction from making
a row for the next few years. Had it
not been for this, the west might have
precipitated collision during the cleo
ton muddle of 1876. Ihave no faith in
Puritan New Englanders, the fellows
that Macaulay said were opposed to
bear batting not because it hurt the bear,
but because it pleased the people. As to
the talk about the northern people for
giving me, / have nothing to say. AS
have not forgiven them, and don't ex.
pect to, am Indifferent as to the state
Of their feelings"

"Ill Never Marry You. Sir.n

In Crawford county, not far from
Fort Valley, last week, young gentle
man was to have been married TO a very
estimable young lady. The invited
guests had assembled to witness the cere-
money and participate in the festivity
of the occasion; the clergyman who was
to make the couple happy pair WIS
present ready to perform his part; the
table was prepared with the usual dain-
ties; the bride with :: throbbipg heart
anxiously waited the arrival Of her
betrothed. At tardy hour he came.
His appearance told too we'll that he had
broken the pledge which he had go seri-
ously and SO sacredly vowed to keep-to
drink no more. The firm and reso]ute
young maid rose to her feet, and with IN
invincible determination, spoke in words
too plain to be understood: "I'll never
marry you, sir!" CONSERVATION and
confusion ensued. Friends interceded
and earnestly besought the young woman
to retract her words which we're so
fatal to her conjugal felicity, the bride
groom pleaded with all the vehemence
and eloqueHce of hopeful lover, but
still the maid would have her will, and
said nay. She boarded the tain a day O,

THAT RIDICULOUS EXTRA SESSION.

A Talk with Secretary Evarts.-Revo-
lutiOMary Doctrine that Can't be
TOlerated.-The Completest Back.
Down ON Record.
New York Tribune, 9Th.
Secretary Evarts was in town yester-
day m his way to his Vermont farm,
where he intends to spend a week. Over
his breakfast table at the 3revoort
House, while his tea and toast were
getting cold, the secretary was beguiled
by his good nature into talking politics
with newspaper acquaintance. Speak
ing Of the issue raised by the Democrats
at the extra session, he said:
eff the people clearly understand that
the Democrats set up the doctrine that
the house of representatives may right
fully refuse all appropriations for carry
ing on the government III case majority
of its members are not permitted to
dictate legislation, there will be no ques-
ton as to their verdict at the fall
elections. The doctrine is revolutionary
and cannot be tolerated. l know Mr..
Thurman receded from it toward the
close Of the struggle-he COED out
as he has often done before
but you will take notice that
Mr.. Frank Hurd broadly reasserted
it in his speech just before the session
ended. He put the refusal of appropria-
tions on the ground OF the right of the
house to demand redress of grievances
What grievances? Why, the laws of
the United States which the Democrats
are unable to repeal"
How does the parallel hold with the
action of the house of commons in times
past, which the Democrats SO often
maker"
"Not at all. The grievances which
the commons sought to redress were not
those of law, but of the arbitrary actor
of the king. They asserted the right O.
the people against the divine ri ht o
the sovereign. Here, the executive is a
much representative of the people 8
congress. He represents them for fou
years, the house represents them for tw,
and the senators for six. No antagonist
between the different branches Of gu
government is contemplated by tn
constitution; all are expected t.
act in harmony, because all repre-
sent the popular will. Besides, tn
house of commons sought to bring tn
king to terms, not by refusing apprc
priations, but by refusing to levy taxes
) The money, if not collected, would re
) main in the pockets of the people an
, benefit them. Here, the Democrat
purposed to have all the taxes collecte
as usual, and then prohibit the presiden
from spending the money for carrying o

Killed in Mistake for a Raccoon.

Mrs. Mary Ludy, who died at her
home in Wolfsville on the 9th inst, in
her ninety.second year, gained considera-
bic notoriety in this section during her
life by the strange manner in which she
lost her first husband, John Warrenfeltz.
About fifty years ago Mr.. Warrenfeltz,
accompanied by several Of his sons, went
coon hunting, and after freeing" an
animal of the species named proceeded
to climb the tree after it. At the mo.
ment when the old gentleman had
reached an altitude of about sixty feet,
and Was delving in the leaves for the
creature, a neighbor appeared upon the
scene, iuquiring of the young men what
they were after. The "boys," neglect
ing to mention the fact that their father
was up the tree, merely announced that
a coon had been "treed." The neigh
Dor looked and listened, and pretty soon
saw and heard a movement among the
boughs at the summit of the "forest-
giant" he asked for a gun, which was
handed him, when he blazed away. A
moment later the old gentleman came
down like thunderbolt. The shot had
taken effect in his face. He expired al.
most Immediately upon touching the
ground.-Frederick (Alt.) Times.

A Novel Cure.

Tom Johnston, of the poorhouse, has a
faculty of getting considerable work out
of the inmates under his charge. There
was one who made up his mind not to
work at ali, although he was capable of
doing considerable. To avoid it he kept
in bed and made out to be ill, demand
ing the attention of the physician.
That gentleman stated there was nothing
the matter with him. Tom thought he
could cure him and the other night
placed a coffin in his room. When the
Ola man awoke the first thing that met
bis gaze was the "wooden overcoat'
which stood at the foot of his bed,
This seemed to animate him. He arose
early, dressed himself and informed Tom
that he thought he was better and asked
the steward if there wasn't something he
could do around the house. He has
been busy ever since.-Dvbxque Herald

BUTTERFLIES.

Once more pass along the Towering meadow,
Hear cushats call, and mark the fairy rings,
Till where the lich-gate casts its cool dark
shadow,
Ipause awh lille, musing on many things.
Then raise the LATCH and passing through the gate
Stand in the quiet, where men rest and walt
Bees in the lime trees do not break their sleeping;
Swallows beneath church caves disturb them
They h need not bitter sob, or silent weeping;
Cares, turmoil, gricfs, regrets they have forgot,
murmur sadly, q Here, taen, all life ends.
We lay you here to rest, AMI lose you, friends"
By no rebuke is the sweet sleacs broken.
No voice reproves me, yet q sign is sent;
For from the grassy mounds tre:e comes token
Of life immortal-and am c)atent.

Over the graves are lowering butterflies.
