A TOUCHING STORY.
which T. Not w,thou. its Moral.

Wu1C0 - 'NO6 WlI0O0C 1t8 tUOfols
Philadslphh Times, Third Street Chat.
About month ago rather good look
ing and thoroughly decent Irish woman,
apparently about 35 years old, made her
appearance on the street and was almost a
daily Visitor until Tuesday of last week,
since which time she has not been seen.
She always appeared in a black alpaca
skirt and striped waist Of some summer
material and black straw hat. No one
knew her name but her broker, and he
never told it, SO far as is known, but it was
said that shO was spinster or widow,
and held some menial situation in one of
the public charitable institutions of the
city. She brought down to the street with
her five hundred dollars and bought
ono hundred shares of Northern Pacific
common at 43. 1t has never been as high
since, except for a few minutes on
a single day. Two or three days after she
bought it she got alarmed and was on tho
point of selling at hundred dollars loss,
but some gentlemen who deal with the
same broker and who pitied her persuad-
ed her not to. Tho next day there was a
rally and she could have sold at small
profit. The same gentlemen and her
broker also advised her to realize and take
ACA uIOuCy hCCp IL Uut
hope had taken the place Of despondency
aud she said she would havea bigger profit
and would not sell. In an hour it was down
to AZ and thereabouts it hung for several
days. Then the raid ON the preferred was
made and the common in sympathy fell
off also. At first she would come down
in the morning, look at the opening quo
tations and go away, but after it went be-
low 40 some days she would como down
at 10 O'Clock, take chair by the indicator
and never leave it until three, holding the
tape and scanning the tantalizing figures
the whole day through. When it touched
80 her hands trembled SO that the tape
shook aud ratified. Last Tuesday she
came running in with such white, scared
face, such trembling hands aud quivering
lips, that those who saw her will never for
get the sight Her broker took her aside
and told her that to save her stock she
must put up more margin. "God help
me-" she said, "Ihaven't another pinny. "
Her stock was sold. No one will envy
the bear that got that poor woman's
money. !,

The literary polish and delicate sense Of
humor pervading the series of European
letters contributed by Statesman Sam Jo-
sephs to the Philadelphia Times leads the
astute Lancaster INTELLIGENCER to con-
clude that they are written from Crcsson,
where Colonel Mcclure is enjoying the
shady side of life. If tho letters are bona
tide there will be as great a demand for
Mr.. Josephs' (?) journalistic services when
he returns home as there is for George Al

tion of his visit to the graves of tho great

about as touching as Mark Twain's fa-
nous pilgrimage to the grave of Adam.

pie of the neighborhOod are very bitter
against him for the crime, as Wood was

had narrow escape from serious injury,
His horse took fright while on st. Joseph

and down Strawberry street, falling and
breaking one of the shafts near Schum's

with which Mr., Faber held on to his horse
a much more serious result might have
happened.

The Philadelphia American, whose
editor did as much as anybody to create
the state of affairs resulting in our junior
senator's election, takes Mr.. Mitchell to
task for his expressed sympathy with the
Malone party in Virginia. And well it
may. The spectacle of Northern SEN
ator, from a state pledged to principles
of financial integrity, lending his name
and sympathy to such rag, tag and
bobtail as the Reputation party in Vir'
ginia, is not cheerful to contemplate.
The Republican party of that state is
said to be captured and its convention,
it is claimed, will approve Mahoneism.
If so, the way to a political division
there, in which the state credit issue will
be distinctly formulated, will be all the
clearer. The Democratic state conven-
tion to-day will declare for every princi-
pie of state honor and political fairness,
so that honest-minded Republicans can
easily find their way into the Democratic
party after. their own convention Shall
have offended them by taking up the
cause of adventures and repudiators.

Thomas Carlyle.

Thomas Carlyle, who died in London Sat
 urday, was born in the village of Ecclesfe-
 chan, in the parish of Hoddafn, Dumfrie-
 shire, Scotland, in December, 1795, so that
 he has recently completed his eighty fifth
 year. His father was man of marked intel lectual power and devoutly religious, and his
 mother was also an ardent Presbyterian, and
 was woman of much force of character.
 Thomas was the oldest child. He went to
 school at Amman, near his home, where he
 made the acquaintance of Edward Irving,
 three years his senior, who exercised a
 marked influence on his character, and whom
 he afterward declared the best man he had
 ever found, or hoped to find, in this world
 From the preparatory school Carlyle was sent to the University of Edinburgh, where
 while he did not shine as scholar he learned the use of great library, and laid the found ation for his future literary success. His origi- nal intention was to become a Presbyterian preacher, but doubts came to him, as to so many others, upon doctrinal points. and he was too honest to attempt teaching others of subjects on which he himself was a doubter. After teaching a year or two he took up his residence at Edinburgh and devoted himself to literature. His first published work was translation of Legendre's geometry, but his second shows him worker in the
 field which was to bring him fame and success. It was his life of Schiller" a work to-day held in as high esteem as when it first appeared in the London Magaztne nearly sixty years ago. From this time on for nearly half century his pen was busy con- tributing to the reviews and magazines, and writing books.
 He married, in 1925, lineal descendant of John Knox, forming happy union which was broken by death in 1866. His early writings were free from eccentricities of style. It was not until his Sartor Resa7tus (1s33-4) that he adopted the complicated and involved style which is now associated with his name. It was about this time he removed to London, which has since been his principal home. In 1887 he published his history of the French revolution, the first work to which his name was formally attached It was this work which he loaned in manuscript to friend, who carelessly left it where servant mistook it for waste paper and used it to kindle a fire, causing the author great annoyance and the wearisome labor of rewriting it entirely His great work, the Life of Frederick the Great upon which he had been long engaged, was published in consecutive volumes from 1858 to 1864, and with it's completion his ac- tive literary work ceased, although he was an occasional contributor to magazines or press, until as late as 1870. The death of his beloved wife was a great blow to MT. Carlyle, then in his 71st year, and probably had much to do with his comparative silence since for he has retained his mental vigor to the end.

CORRESPONDENCE.

From New York to Fortress Momroe-A
 Visit to Hampton-The Educational
 Work Done There-A Canning Estab- .Iishment-At Raleigh.
 RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 30. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 We left you contemplating the great ics storm in full progress in New York. The pa- pers since have noticed more destruction than the imagination conceived of. It was storm to keep one in doors. The mercury as we passed through Philadelphia and Baltimore was down. On the Chesapeake Bay the boats had been irregular for weeks but the and again were to push through the ice. The offending trunks had found their way on board without molestation, and we also ven- tured Floating fields of ice encountered would now and then make the steamer Vir- ginia cringe, but there was no break in it's sides. At breakfast the captain informs us that he was up all night. At Fortress Monroe, the Hygeia Hotel, we landed. This most de- lightfm watering place will accommodate four hundred guests amply. The weather is cool; vehicle for Hampton is engaged. We pass focks of boys and girls of the darker hue hurrying to school, some in rags, some in tags, others for the higher grade, better clad for the advanced ranks. Men were working to obtain money to pay in part for their education-one day on and one day off. The Indians also at Hampton College of late are said to have made propress in civilization, faster than was at one time imagined they would. The teachers at Hampton (two young ladies among them well known in New Haven) are engaged in truly as missionary work as if in India Many scholars have graduated after full course of instruction and gener- ally. it is said, follow teaching. Many after a partial course are fitted for the prosecution ofsome trade partially learned A large sawmill presented by benevolent individual and the Corliss engine, gift from the manufacturer, are in full operation. The co1ored men em- ployed are mostly working for money, with which they intend to pay their way through Hampton College. General Armstrong has the credit of establishing and keeping alive the institution. May he long live to see it prosper A new feature has also been asso- ciated with the enterprise. T. T. Bryce, Esq, the author of popular work upon Political Economy" and teacher of that branch in the college, conceived the idea of establishing 8 canning establishment upon the premises, employing the negroes of the vicinity in part and students in parts, who could alternately work. He was wonderfully successful.
 Although the mercury on the 28th of Jan- uary was IS and cold to us northerners, it was not so cold but that forty-four oyster boats arrived and deposited in one day eleven hundred bushels of oysters. Over one hun dred negroes. employed at the canning works, put them through the steaming process, opened and canned them, and all
