A Brief But Spicy COrrcspOn-
dcnce.

WASHINGTON, Nov "A pleasant
little story is afoat here respecting
the rich Mr.. w. W. Corcoran and a
wealthy widow named Freeman.
Corcoran wants to enlarge his fine
hotel, the Arlington. Mrs. Freeman
owns very handsome brown stone
front house adjoining the Arlington
on III. street.
Tie philanthropist, Corcoran, sent
Mrs. Freeman note, saying he in
tended enlarging his hotel, and that
he would be pleased to learn the
value she placed upon her house, and
that he would send her check for
the amount. This was lordly, but
not successful. Mrs, Freeman, whose
wealth is reckoned by millions, res
piled that she had thought of enlarg
ing her flower garden, and that if
Mr. Corcoran would kindly place a
value on his hotel, she would be de
lighted to send him check for the
amount. There has been no further
correspondence.-N o. TjnaeS-Den-

The Aberdeen Fair.

Not being able to attend the Fair,
at our neighboring city, Aberdeen,
although the managers honored us
with complimentary" we request
ed friend to report to us what be
saw, what he heard and how things
looked generally. Our reporter is a
man of much experience in the world,
in most of its aspects, and hence, we
rely upon what he says with implicit
confidence in its correctness.
Wednesday, the day of his arrival,
looked like "gold day at the Fair
ground, yet the beautiful city seemed
to be stirred with business life and
activity. Upon his arrival at the
Fair grounds, he was astonished to
see 80 large and fashionable collec-
ton of the men and women of "Old
Monroe, besides many lovely women
and distinguished men from all parts
of the country, notably among them
was Gen. Buford, of KY, who during
the war, so ably and CALAMITY led as
good and brave men as the world
ever saw, for the defence of this sec.
ton, from the tread and fire of q
vandal foe. The people of Columbus
will remember Gen. Buford and their
hearts are always with him. Shortly
after cur reporter reached Aberdeen,
he was placed upon committee with
Capt. Joe Phillips, of Monroe, and
Col Robert Mcintosh, of Chiskasaw,
as Judges of the contest between
"Luxapalila Fire Company" of CO.
lumbus, and'Monroe Fire Company
of Aberdeen. This trial of skill be-
tween the two companies and their
beautiful engines, consuming about
two hours, our reporter could not
command the time to look into the
minute of the Fair as he was com
PEELED to leave on the afternoon train.
He describes the contest as being
beautiful and exciting and while Co.
umbus won over Aberdeen, by the
unanimous verdict of the committee
and ali present. they did it by hard
work-the exercise of skill and inge
nuity--and only "by the skin of their
teeth" Being defeated in the con-
test, the Aberdeen boys" yielded
gracefully, and heartily cheered the
victors for the victory won.
Our reporter says that he has never
seen more hopitality, more kindness,
more genuine and cordial friendship
extended by any set of men than was
extended by the Aberdeen Fire com,
pany to the Fire company from CO.
lumbus' They seemed to be band
of brothers. Capt, Howard, of Mon
roe, and Capt. Calvin, of Columbus,
looked to our reporter like twins.
Our boys,of the Luxapalila, will never
forget the kindness extended to them
by the boys of Monroe.
The gentlemen composing the
committee on the engine contest
were: Col s. NJ. Meek, Columbus
Capt. Joe Phillips, Aberdeen Col.
Robt Mcintosh, Okolona.
We regret that we could not attend
ourselves, or that our reporter could
n 1t have seen all that was there. But
we are satisfied that the Fair at Abs
erdeen is equal, if it does not sur
pass, any that has ever been held il
the State. The people of Monroe
are a noble, generous, onterprising
people, and well deserve the emula>
ton of her sisters throughout the
State. - COItWa5uS IadeG.
