She turned toward me with flaming cheeks

evening, and told him that the young lady,
believing that her acceptance of the gifts,
heretofore might have led to a misunderstood
ing on his part, regretted the necessity Of
declining all future offerings from the same
source.
The poor fellow was quite taken aback.
He looked at me, then ut the package, then
into the fire, filled a pipe, lighted it, sighed,
paced the floor once or twice, and then, un.
doing the envelope Il observed tina he burned
the inner onel, showed me a large shagreen
jewel-case, which on opening, proved to con-
tain the handsomest set of opals I ever saw

buttons, studs and ring.

He knew very well that Fannie would be
there, and contrived to obtain the box exactly
next to that of the Lovells- The little
maiden's eyes were fixed many times and
earnestly upon the opals. Sobersides thought
that she knew them, but she did not. The
TACT was that one of her especial hopes and
joys was the opal. Many people are crazy
after particular gems. So Fannie Lowell had
an affection for the opal-that delicious,
creamy gem, in whose inner depths lies q
single spark of faint and tender fire-a gem
that is most ex~cellently described as "a pearl
with a soul in it.n
A week afterward 1 met Miss Fannie and
somehow or another the talk turned upon
precious things.

PRECISELY so.

The Columbia correspondent of the
Neaus and Courier says:
No written complaint has reached the
railroad commission in regard to the
schedule on the Blue Ridge Road. 1t is
safe to say that the commission will wall
for some tangible documentary evidence
of dissatisfaction among the people on
tho line OF the road before taking action
in the matter. Journals which are try
ing to tease the commission into issuing
o ukass on the subject can hurry matters
up by starting petition. 1t is a more
modest and snrer way of attaining the
desired end. $500

notcompelled to take action upon any mat

Lees Hopes Frustrated.

WAsHINGrON, March 1.-The closing
hours Of the second session of the Forty
seventh Congress wero marked by an
outrageous exhibition Of partisanship,
the intention being to displace Repre-.
sentative John S. Richardson, of the first
South Carolina district, and give his
seat to Samuel Lee, the colored contes-
tant who had been defeated by nearly
5000 majority. The trap was sprung
unexpectedly yesterday afternoon by a
proposition to accept tho minority
instead of the majority report, the latter
of which had been signed by eight mem
bcrs Of the elections committee in favor
of the contestee. Chairman Calkins rail-
lied around him few staunch adherents
who we're satisfied that Mr.. Richardson
was entitled to the seat, and that the
proposition In Lees interest was that he
might abstract $4,000 from the treasury
without having rendered any seryicc.
Supported 10y the entire Democratic side
Mr. CalkinS prevented q contamination of
the attempted rascality. All night
long the filibustering was kept up that
justice might be vindicated, and
although repeated efforts were made to
induce Mr.. Calkins to cease his opposi.
ton he maintained his position and kept
Mr. Richardson where Ee belonged. 1t
was generally regarded as the proper
thing to do, for tho incumbent had rem.
dered good service to his State and con.
stituents by his devotion to the interests
for which he had been sent to the House
Of Representatives.
When the gavel of the Speaker fell at
noon to-day Samuel Lee was minus an
expected bonus of $4,000 snd a party
trick had been eGectually ano.ed under.

GOVERNOR STEPHENS DEAD.

In the death of Governor Alexander
Ii. Stephens, of Georgia, which occurred
in Atlanta, at three o'clock Oil Sunday
morning, after an illness of about two
weeks, one OF the greatest men Of the re.
public has passed to rest. With will AS
dauntless as his intellect was vigorous,
he grasped success under circumstances
in which thousands of men of equal
ability would have failed. A pale, deli
cate man, apparently upon the verge Of
the grave, he has stood for many years
the peer of our ablest statesmen, and ex-
erted an influence in the affairs of our
country scarcely equalled by any other
man of his time. lie has been most
successful politician, having represented
Georgia in Congress for many terms bo-
fore and since the wal, and having served
as Vice President Of the Southern Con-
federacy during the eyentlul period of
its existence. He had last year deter
mined to retire from public life, but
mt the call Of his friends he consented to
accept the Governorship Of Georgia, and
thus with life full Of years and of
honors, he has passed to the unknown
Country, in the full enjoyment of the
favor and affection of his people whom
he had faithfully and efficiently served
in important public positions for more
than half century.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The .News u"i tDuricr says:
The Anderson INTELI IGESrEE is out
Of patience with the Railroad Conni-
sioners and, after charging them with n
disposition to tie themselves up with red
tape, bluntly declares that "thcre is little
likelihood that their services will prove
az valuable TO the State as was hoped for
by the people, our contemporary is
moved to this harsh conclusion by its
natural Indignation at the wrctch"dly
nconvencnt schedules on the Blue
Ridge Ithlroad. But the Railroad Com
mission cannot afford to make mistake es

care and caution. we 10 no. share tie

GENCER.
The schedule complained Of has been
in operation for more than two months,
and yet the Commission has done moth
ing. This is All extreme indulgence in
caution, which we confess we are not
able to appreciate. If they take two
months to decide about n schedule, ns
glarngly inconvenient and dangerous to
the travelling public Il, the one now op-
Grated on this road, is how long will they
be in working out a question OF freight
rates? We tbink the delay beyond wiia.
is reasonable or proper. We apprehend
,hc Commission las not been 90 cautious
about drawing their salaries. What we
complain Of is. the evident unwilingless
of the Commission TO help tho people out
of this matter, or to decide in favor of
the railroad. They ought to pass on the
matter, one way or the other. Aud now
a word to our contemporary. When
Charleston clamored for the railroad
legislation, the up country, which was
not seriously hurt, came TO her rescue,
and helped pass the railroad Law. After
its passage change ia made that is ex-
trcmcly detrimental to this portion of
the up country. and at the end of two
months complaining we are quietly told
that we must stand this thing an indefi
mite time longer, because the Commits
sion might make mistake if they even
tried to help us. Charleston can stand
off complacently and watch the fight, but
it is not satisfactory to us. The argu.
ment for establishing the Commission
was that it could and would protect the
people when the Legislature WAS not in
session. it requires such long time
for the Commission to net upon such
pal?able matters, it had better be abol-
lished, and let the Legislature from time
to time enact the necessary laws Tor the
regulation Of the railroads. 1t will be
cheaper, and just about as expeditions as
the way things seem to be going now.
Instead of endorsing the tardiness Of the
Commission in this matter, we think the
News and Courier would do better service
for the people i'll trying to hurry them

Husband and Wife Crushed by q Tree.

Through citizen from the lower sec.
ton of the county, who was in the city
yesterday, we learn of a terrible mishap
which occurred to Mr.. Johnston and
his wife, in the new ground on their
plantation last Thursday. Mr.. Johnstcn
was engaged in telling trees and at noon
his wife came to where he was working,
bringing his dinner. He had been cut.
ting at tall pine tree and had cut it
about half in two at the stump when his
wifo arrived with his dinner. Laying
down his axe he seated himself by the
tree to eat his dinner and his wife sat
down beside him holding their only
child in her arms. They had been
seated thus but fow moments when the
tree suddenly began to fall and before
Mr.. Johnston and his wife could get out
of the way it had pinned them to the
ground. Mr.. Johnston's thigh was
broken and he received other painful
and serious injuries, while his VITA was
very badly hurt. Tho child escaped un.
injured.
Drs. Caldwell and Misenheimer were
called to attend the unfortunate couple
and did all that was in their power to do.
1t is thought that the husband will die
of his injuries Charlotte Observer.

A Released Conyict's Romance.

CHATTANOOGA, March 2.-.Ramey
Thomas was released from custody at the
Coal Creek coal mines yesterday, having
served out his sentence. He passed
through the city last night en- route to
Nashville, his former home. There is
quite romance connected with Thom-
ass Imprisonment. In 1865 he killed
Joe Deal, a clerk at the Maxwell House,
in Nashville, for insulting a young lady
to whom he was engaged to be married.
lie was sentenced to the Penteniiary
for twenty-one years, but his sentence
was commuted to ten years by Governor
Porter, and again reduced on account of
good behavior. Thomas has been at
work in the coal mines since he was
sentenced, with the exception Of few
weeks. when lie worked on the Cincin-
natl Southern Railroad for his health,
which became very precarious on account
Of confinement. Thomas says lie is go.
ing to marry the young lady whose honor
he defended at such dear cost rs soon
as he succeeds in getting work. She has
remained true to him during lis impris-
onment, writing to him and often send
lug him many delicacies and sweet re-
membranes. He is man of neat ap-
pearance, about 35 years Of age, and has
e manly face and clear bright eye.

We have not been trying to tease them

bring the evil to their attention, and we
know these complaints have reached

too much red tape, and unless they can

The Month OF March.

During this month, if they place the

joint prophetic powers Of Mr.. Henry G..

inhabitants Of these United States had
better tie themselves fast. Mr.. Vennor

toned prophet during February, Vennor
practically accepts his representations
for March. The month, he remarks in
graceful rhyme, will enter with rains
and blow, but the third and fourth will
give cold and snow. The whole month
will be crowded with snow storms and
billiards and heavy rains. Mr.. Vennor,
however, does not dwell particularly

The Mississippi Floods.

Sr. Lot Il, March 4.-rhc latest news
from the overilowcd country along the
Mississippi River is that what are known
As the sunk land, in the II. Francis
River region are entirely submerged, and
that nearly as far down rs Helena there
are few places above water. The people
are living in the upper stories Of houses.
When there is not more than one story
to house they are floating around on
RATS or in boats. Most o. the inhabi-
tant-, however, have deserted their homes
and have gone to the highlands back
from the river. The streets of New
Madrid are submerged TO the depth Of
from two to four feet and there is water
in almost every house. The whole
country back Of that place as far AS
Cairo on the Missouri side. and from
Hickman south for over fifty miles, is
inundated. Corn, live stock and fences
have been destroyed, but no great amount
Of suffering among the people is reported.
