TRAVELS OF "fHe REGISTER" CON-
MISSIONER.

Special Correspondence of the Register.
CIxCINNATT, March %.
From the ex-Confederate Capital to
the Queen City OF the West is an inter
esting and pleasant trip. The last week
ami more have spent on the route OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio road that cuts
old Virginia through the center and
traverses the southern portion OF our
little mountain State. | made short
stops, of lew days each, at such places
as Charlottesville, the home OF the
ancient statesman, Jefferson, whose
house still stands on the opposite
mountain tor, and in thistown,as every
BODY knows, is that historic southern
institution OF learning, the University OF
Virginia,
Founded by Jefferson
and the pride of his older days: at
Staunton tarried to view the celebrated
seat of learning for Americas fair
daughters where four large semlnfries
are situated; then in turn came White

| was surprised to see, especially In
old Virginia, so little OF what We would
call life and enterprise. Occasionally,
during the busy season, snail river
town may put on airs of energy, but
there is, in the majority Of places, dis-
piriting somnolent influence which, un-
MI new vigorous blood is infused into
the population, never can be overcome.
To live in any rural southern town
wouli be intOlerable TO nearly every
northern man that possesses the vim OF
his people. Whether it is the miasma.

"muggy" winter, the carpet-haggers"
and the "niggers," | can not tell. IL
NAV b. a combination of all these, or
NAV not be a result of either. lndiyid-
ually, il is my opinion that
Slavery Caused the Difference,
and the whites have not yet recovered
from its depressing and demorallzlng
effects. The sensible men amC ny them,
and they are the most numerous, are
sincerely glad that seridom, peonage,
and all the attendant evils OF human
bondage have come TO an end.
In conversation with Northerner,
on the train from Richmond, who now
resides in the South, he said: "What
use is wealth TO people VINO do not
know how to live in proper manner?
Nature has done much ior the South,
and man very little. II may be the eli
mate, as they say themselves, but
don't believe it. They are naturally
idle. They Just plant enough to keep
them. They are 50 lazy that they will
SIT in a corner grocery,or around hotel
stone, hall the day sucking a corn-coh
pipe. They are lazily happy, and
don't believe they want 10 be disturbed
by active Northern immigrants, whose
competition would soon wake them up
or else beggar them comp,etely."

TESTING Her Innocencc.

A poor, pale seamstress was arraigned Tor
theft. She appeared at the bar with her
baby of eleven months on her arm. She
went to ret some work one day and stole
three gold coins Of ten francs each. The
money was missed soon after she left her
employer. aud servant was seat TO her
room TO claim it The servant found her
about TO quit the room with the three gold
coins in her hand. She said 70 the servant,
am going TO carry them back to you.
Nevertheless she was carried to the C0mmis-
sioner of Police, and he ordered her 10 be
sent to the Police Court for trial. She was
too poor to engage lawyer, and when as ked
bv the judge what she had to say fer her
SELF. she replied "The day | went to my

mercy
The Court could not believe this story.
They upbraided the mother for her impu-
dcnce in endeavoring to palm off such a
manifest lie for the truth. They besought
her. for her own sake, to retract so absurd a
tale. for it could have no effect but to oblige
the Court to sentence her 10 a much seyercr
punishment than they were disposed to in
hict upon one so young and evidently so
deep in poverty.
These appeals had no effect except to
strengthen the poor mothers pertinacious
adherence to het original story. As this
frmness was sustained by that look Of in
noceace which the most adroit criminal can
never counterfeit, the Court was at some
loss to discover what decisios justice deman-
ded. To relieve their embarrassment one OF
the Judges proposed to renew the scene de-
scribed by the mother. Three gold coins
were placed on the clerks table. The moth
er was requested to assume the position in
which she stood at her employers house.
There was then brcathless pause in court.
The baby soon discovered the bright coins,
eyed them for a moment, smiled, and then
stretched forth its tiny hand and clutched
them in its fingers with a miser's eagerness.
The mother was acquitted.-Paris Exchange.

POR GOOD OR FOR III?

Only word
Yet il bore on its holy breath
A message that God had given
To kindly warn from the ways OF death
And a soul was lead 70 Heaven.
Only word
Spoken in scorn by lips that smiled,
But haunting doubts black shade
Was cast in the trusting heart OF child,
And lifelong darkness made.
Only word
Yet there lay in its heart enshrined
Like the germ of a tiny seed,
a thought that fell in an earnest mind
And grew to q noble deed.
Only word
Eo more widely the ocean parts
Land from land with its ebb and flow,
Then one false word severed kindly hearts
That loved, in the long ago.
Only word
The whispered Amen" Of prayer,
But il flew, like aswitt-winged dove,
From the stormy depths Of a souls despair
To the Fatherss heart of love-
Only word
OH choose it wisely. weigh it well
Send it forth with love and faith;
II may be, the message one word can tel,
VIII rescue a soul from death.
