l life within the walls of his town residence is
 at present to be appreheuded, he now resides
 in the palace again, sleeping, however, in q
 different apartment every night. The life actually led by the Russian Emperor in his magnificent abode is pitiably dismal. No
 nourishmsnt, either solid or liquid, that has
 not been tasted in bis presence by some of- fcial parsonage ever passes his lips. His bath
 is examined every morning by the medical of- ficers of his household before he ventures to
 use it, and he seldom approaches stove or a fireplace, lest some explosive material, con cealed among the fuel, should have been ee-
 cretly introduced into 1t. Before he retires to
 rest, his bedroom and dressing room, as well as the apartments contiguous to them on the upper and lower floors, are submitted to arig- orous inspection. His Majesty appears ex- tremely nervous, takes no interest in State business. and exhibits indifference to the mill tary details which heretofore constituted his fayorite occupation.
 The cotton spinning industry, one of the great industries of the world, is continually increasing, especially in this country. The total number of spindles On the globe Is, &C., cording to the latest returns. 7l,250 O0o of which Great Britain has 39, 5OO, 900. Swift zeriand has, contrary to general opinion, more spindles, ,proportionately to its popula- tion, than any other Continental State, rank ing in Europe immediately after England.

A correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal says, the first break
has taken place in Mr.. Hayes cabinet
The Daily Post is not pleased with tho
senate for confirming Mr. McCrary, but
it is alone in reviling the gentleman.
have never heard one complaint against
him; on the contrary, have heard
much in his favor. Mr.. McOrary knew
that no would be confirmed, for the re-
lection last spring was owing to the fact
that the vacancy on the bench would
not be created until September, and
that it was not lawful 10 anticipate. Mr..
McCrary moved his family away in the
summer and gave up his residence i'll
the city. Mrs. McCrary is one of tho
few persons who, after living in Wash
ington, are anxious to depart, and don't
like the city. She had many grievances,
some of which were amusing, Two
years ago, when the president and Mrs.
Hayes celebrated their silver wedding,
correspondent undertook to write All
account for one of our morning papers.
She was under the impression that no
lady would object to being described as
wearing on that occasion the point lace
andSdiamonds which are the convenient
refuge of all correspondents who are not
able to accurately describe toilet. Mrs.
McCrary was described, III glowing col
ora, as wearing the most gorgeous dress,
trimmed with the rarest point lace aud
superb diamonds. The festivities we're
New Years eve. On New Years day l
met Mrs. McCrary at the diplomatic re-
ception at the White House. In tone
Of wrath she asked me who had written
the account for that mornings paper.
She then excitedly said that nntruths
had been told about her in the descrip-
tion of her dress. She went on:
''Me dressed in point lace and dia-
mondsl Ne7erl while Gods poor are
starving and crying for breadl"
Ladies who we're adorned in the dc.
nounced vanities and overheard the re-
marks felt rebuked and began to dodge
behind the gold embroidery, lace,
swords and epauletts of the foreign
ministers 30 that they might conceal
their point lace and diamonds. felt
highly virtuous, and took none of the
inferences to myself, and quite enjoyed
the bombshell which the excited lady
had cast in that gorgeous company.

TRUE HERoIsM.

We read in our foreign papers such
an one was the hero of Kars and snch
another was the hero of Plevan but
what is true heroismP We must not
look for it ON the field of battle, amid
the glitter and pomp Of war, the mad
dening din Of cannon and musketry, the
clash Of military music, the intoxicating
fumes Of gunpowder, the probability Of
immediate reward for individual proves;
all these indictments combine TO make
towards brave. A brilliant feat Of arms,
accomplished in moment Of excitement,
is enough, as fame goes, to make a hero
Of man whose life would not bear the
test of scrutiny. True heroism must be
sought elsewhere. The Christian mar
tyr, clinging to his faith in the face OF
persecution and even death the poor
self-denying woman, who feeds and
brings up orphan children; the physi-
clans, clergymen and Sisters Of Mercy,
who brave pestilence and death to min.
lister to the wants of the dying, sacrifice
ing their own lives to sense OF Christ
ian duty. These are the true heroes
worthy Of a painters pencil and the
sculptor's chisel, as we'll as the worlds
admiration and applause.

A PRESENT TO GEN, GRANT.

The Natchez Democrat says: Frank
I. Weldon. who is not altogether un.
known in this city, being native Match
ez boy, covered himself all over with
glory the other day in Philadelphia, and
made it very evident that he is hero
worshirper Of sthe first water We see
by an exchange that during the recep-
ton of Gen. Grant, in Philadelphia, on
Dec. 10th, he presented the General a
table of solid gold, an exact fac smile of
the old-faehioned mahogany center table
on which General Grant and General
Lee signed the terms of surrender Of the
Confederate army at Appomattox Court
House. For the marble-top slab, a
plate of glass is substituted, beneath
which, carved from from gold in the
highest style of the jewelers. art, are va
rions patriotic and symbolic devices.
Around the upper rim is engraved,
Presented to Gen. U. S. Grant, De.
cember 10th, A, d. 1879, by Frank 7.

the edge of the table is engraved, "Wel.

SOUTHERN LUMBER.

The Michigan Lunberman, speaking
Of the rapid disappearance OF the piner-
les of the Northwest before the axe and
the saw, announces that the time ia not
far distant when the country will have,
TO fall back on the vast timber tracts Of
the South for its lumber supply. Verify,
times revenges are certain if they are
slow. For years the South has been
importing blinds, sash, doors and other
ready made carpenters work from the
North, when at has nt all the gates OF
ita cities the most extensive and richly
stocked lumber districts TO be found in
the country. AT last, however, we are
to see the day when Boston and New.
York, and Chicago are to get their.
beams and boards from the timber belt
Of Georgia.. Florida, Alabama, Missis-
ippi, Louisiana and Texas; then perhaps
their people will come down into our
midst with their machinery and capital,
and manufacture blinds, sash and doors
for our brethren in the North. We
might hasten this event on aur own ac-
count if our people would put the necs
essary enterprise and capital into tho
undertaking. Kinds County Gazette.

at the lawn party. He had returned from
his foreign journeyings, and Ethel had
not seen him since-since that long
ago time
She greeted him with quiet, cordial
dignity, and there was only a time for a
greeting.
The. evening wore on and he did not
come to her. Had the old love died in
his heart, and must hers. ! ache on
through a life-time9 Such thoughts
made the sweet face sad, as Ethel rested
q moment in shawody corner of the de-
serted conservatory. Sad only for mo-
ment, for the voice she loved said gen.
tly: "It seems like sunshine to see you
again, Ethel"
"Aud Lam heartily glad to see you, "
she said softly.
Surely, her tell-tale voice had told
him all! But no, he only bowed cour-
teously, and said: "Thank you," very
simply.
"And you will be counted now to stay
at home, Mr.. Dalton, will you not p
she asked timidly.
A shadow came over his face.

''but / am not brave; 1 must flee again;
q bunch Of field daisies has unnamed
me;" and he gazed wistfully at the
bunch in her belt. If he were not brave
now, it was her place to be SO. So hel
true hand tremblingly pulled the little
daisy from her throat, the true voice
waveringly said: 81 put this there fol
/ you, read it."
Friendship, love, indifference, hate,
the manly voice murmured, and the last
little leaf Auttered to the floor as the
word love was spoken.
Ohe look into the true brown eyes
on whose lashes a tear-drop trembled
and he clasped her to his heart, ant
kissed the tears away, whispering;
"Thank God, sweetheart"

THE STUDENT OF UPsALA


Mrs. Mary Hewitt, in her Life of
Frederick Bremen, tells the following
story:
There was in the early part of this
century, n young student lately come to
Upsula, the son of poor widow, who
was standing with some of his college
companions in one of the public walks
on fine Sunday morning. AS they
we're thus standing the young daughter
Of the Governor, a good and beautiful
girl, was seen approaching them on her
way to church accompanied by her gov
erness.
Suddenly the widows son exclaimed:
I am sure that the young girl would
give me kiss =
His companion laughed, and near to
them rich young fellow said 1T is i'm
possible Thou, an utter stranger, and
in public thoroughfare It is too alb
surd to think Of
Nevertheless, I am confident OF what
1 say, returned the other.
The rich student offered to lay Q
heavy wager that, so far from succeed.
ing, he would not even dare venture tc
propose such thing.
Taking him at his word, the poor stu.
dent, the moment the young lady and
her attendant had passed, followed them
and politely addressing them, they
stopped, on which, in modest and
straightforward manner, he said, speak
ing to the Governors daughters:
1T entirely rests with Froken to maxi
my fortune
How so, demanded she, great,
amazed.
Il am a poor student, said he, 'th
son of widow. If Froken would conde
scend to give me kiss, should win
large sum of money which, enabling M
to continue my studies, would reliev
my mother of a great anxiety
IF success depends on SO small
thing, said the innocent girl, can bu
comply aud Herewith, sweetly blush
ing, she gave him kiss, Just as if h
had been her brother. Without a though
of wrong doing, the young girl went t
church, and afterward told her father {
the encounter.

DEATH on S. .. GuICE Eso.

We are again called upon to chronicle
the death of another of the old citizens
OF Adams sounty, in the person of S. L.
Guice, Esq, who died at his home near
Washington in this county, at about
noon yesterday. Although his death
had been expected for some time, his
health having been gradually failing for
several months, yet his numerous friends
were ROT little shocked when his disso-
lution was announced. Mr.. Guice was
native Of Franklin county, (his parents
being among the earliest cettlers Of that
section but has resided in Natchez and
Adams county for nearly il not quite
thirty years. Respected by all, Stephen
L Guice led life above suspicion and
above reproach, and now that he has
been gathered to his fathers at the ripe
old age Of nearly sixty, none will refuse
to drop tear at the termination Of an
existence SO well spent. To his bereaved
family We tender our heartfelt condol-
ence, and trust that their grief will end
