English Letter Writing.

The English write more letters than
any other people in the world, accord
ing to the Postoffice report just issued.
The average annual number of written
communications reaches Al per head
81 letters and 4 post cards for each per-
son-being nearly double the amount
of twenty years ago. Correspondence
increases three times more than the
rate of population, andin the year end
ing March 81 last no fewer than 1922
0S6 900 letters passed through the post,
besides 153 ,5S6, 100 cards, 294. 594 500
book packets, and 142, TOE, 800 news
papers. In Christmas week the aver
age=nHmheT of postal missive passing
through the Central Office is estimated
at 1871 millions, but last Christmas the
number rose to 1890, 600. This in
crease entailed the employment Of | ,200
additional hands besides the 1890
usually employed in the Central Office.
No other nation approaches these num-
bers, for even in the United States,
which comes second in the matter oi
correspondence, only II letters are sent
| per head, the next highest figures be-
ing IL in Germany. I6 in France, z in
Italy, and 5 In Spain.

Mr.. Geo. Hamilton, from his quiet

Missouri looking for q farm, when q
land agent showed him through Ray

ducements to settle there: "There is
no such land elsewhere in Missouri, and
the society can not be surpassed. Dc
you see that house oyer there? Well,
there is where the Ford brothers lived,
and where poor Charlie committed sui

Wood Hite was killed in that house.

Fretting.
From the Baptist Weekly.

From the Baptist Weekly.
This morning I got up as cross as a
bear. I felt as rough and tingy as a
chestnut burr. / was all out of sorts,
and il seemed to me it would be a pleas
ure to snap up anybody who spoke to
me as short as | could.
Most likely 1 would have done so n
set the whole household by the ears for
the rest of the day, but that l have had
such moods before and learned by ex-
p~erience the best way to manage them.
"Now," thought 1, my best plan is not
to influence the whole family, but to
remain neutral and let them influence
me-" Accordingly l tried to control
myself q little and await events.
"Well, the two elder children got up
merry and as happy as crickets. Papa
was in a pretty humor, and the baby
sat in her high chair and displayed all
her little airs and graces and her new
est funny little capers, and we must all
look and admire, so by the time break
fast was over | was laughing and smll-
ing as cheerfully as the rest, and passed
a pretty comfortable day after all.
And as 1 was thinking of this at even
ing I thought how easy a little fret
ting might nave upset the whole fam
lily and spoiled the day.
Now, fretting Is both useless and I'M
necessary; it does no good and a great
deal of harm; yet it is almost a univer'
sal sin. More or less we are given to 1T.
We fret over almost anything. In sum-
mer because it is too hot, and IN win
ter because it is too cold; we fret when
il rains because it IS wet, and when it
does not rain because it is dry; when we
are sick or when any body else is sick.
In short if anything o. everything does
not go just to suit our particular whims
and f%ancies, we have just one grand ref
uge-to fret over it.
I am afraid that fretting is much
more common among women than
among men. We may as we'll W the
truth, my fair sisters, it isn't altogether
pleasant. Perhaps it is because the
little worries, cares and vexations OF our
daily life harass our sensitive nerves
more than the extended enterprises
which generally take the attention
of men. Great wants develop great
resources, but the little wants and
worries are hardly provided for,
and like the nail which strikes the
saw they make not much OF a mark,
but they turn the edges terribly. |
think if we looked upon all the little
worries of one day as one great united
worry, ~self-control to meet it would be
developed. But as they generally come
only one or two little things at q
time-they seem SO very little that we
give way, and the ibreecn n made In
the wall, soon grows larger.
I know that many a mother has
turned her son against her WI sex,
and made him dread and dislike the So
ciety of women, by her example con-
stantly set before MIN. / know that
many a mother has brought up and de-
veloped a daughter just like herself,
who, in her turn, would wreck and ruin
The comfort of another family cir cle-
And knowing all this, ! know We ought
to set our faces against this useless, sin
full, peace-destroying and home-disturb-
ing habit of fretting.

A Romance of the War.


Nearly all of our readers, we suppose,
are acquainted with the romance connec-
ted with the 10th Regiment of Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers. A fragile and feminine
looking person belonged to Company of
that regiment, and gave his name as
Frank Mayne. Mayne did not associate
with any of the members of the company
except man by the name of Fitzpatrick.
While the regiment was encamped at
Clouds Mill, below Alexandria, in Vir-
ginia, Fitzpatrick was taken suddenly i'll
and removed to the hospital in the latter
place. In few days he died, it was said,
of smallpox. Mayne displayed consider
able grief over the death OF his companion.
He procured a pass to Alexandria soon
after on the plea of some business, but
never returned. 1t was thought that he had
deserted. Soon after soldier was wounded
in Western Tennessee, and upon being
taken to the hospital, it was discovered
that the soldier was a female and none
other than Frank Mayne. A few weeks
ago a member of the 126th Regiment was
standing on the railway station at AL
toona, when he was approached by a man
who proved himself to be Fitzpatrick,
who was supposed to have died of small
pOX. He explained how, he and Mayne
wishing to transfer the scenes of their
military exploits from the East to the
West, he had feigned sickness and es-
capped from the hospital and was Joined by
Mayne. They both joined an Ohio regi-
ment, after which they were wounded
While in battle and Mayne discovered to
be a female. Mayne is his wife, and they
are now living happily in Illinois. He
and his wife receive pensions under the
name of Fitzpatrick and Mayne, and on
this account he would not tell his real
name

AMERICAN STUDENTS IN ENG
LAND
An Original Letter From the Late Judal
-.....--r.. c..-.-1----.

An Original Letter From the Late Judah
p. Benjamin TO a Georgia Student.
Professor j. G. Lyons, of this city, says
a Rome (Ga.) special to the Constitution,
while in Brussels in 1871 endeavored to
make arrangements to read law in Eng
land, and to this end addressed a letter OF
inquiry to Judah P. Benjamin, to which
the latter returned the following answer
which will doubtless be of interest at this
time:
TEMPLE LONDON, January 10, ls71.-Dear
Sir: | have just received yours of 18th, and
answer it at once, that you may not lose time
and suffer anxiety by waiting. There is nc
post Of any sort in barrister's chambers in
England. No one is admitted into them eX-
ccDt students, who pay Il large premium for
Abundance. / take no students and of course
you seek for something that will pay your liY-
ing. That is Impossible. You cannot enter
into law service Of any sort in England with
out sufficient means not only to pay premi-
UNI but to live for three or four years. The
attorneys receive clerks on premiums varying
from LOO to E300. But then the clerks have
to enter into articles of apprenticeship for a
series of five or SIX years without pay.
1t is almost impossible TO give, within the
space and time | can now command, any sort
OF idea Of the English system, so radically diff
ferent is it in every respect from the ideas
Of it entertained by one brought up in the
United States. l must close, therefore, by
saying, with regret, that it is out of the ques-
ton for you to make a penny in England for a
series OF years by any labor connected with
the law.
l am sorry to take away your hopes in the
matter, but 1t is true kindness to tell you the
truth markedly at once. ! was called to the
bar in a year (at an expense of about E5O0J
under the most exceptional circumstances,
which gave me a claim that is Suj 0eneris.
When | say it cost me $500 mean indepeh-
IDENTIFY of the cost of living.
l am, yours truly, j. p. BENJAMIN.

Love in a Theatre.


While the Haymen Comedy Company
were singing ''Fizz" at the Olympic The
atre last night the attention of the audi
ence was diverted from the artists to the af-
fectionate and amusing actions ola young
couple seated in the parquette, whom the
merry music had reduced to a condition
of uncomfortable tenderness. Every now
and then. and without any regard what
ever to the laughter provoked by the ae-
ton, they embodied one another in a warm
and lingering embrace, sweetened with a
rapid succession of sOnOrous kisses. The
audience began guying the toO-tender pair
and the girl tried to resent her ardent
lovers approaches, which, however,
he firmly declined to abandon, and,
by way of asserting his indepen-
dence, he cast a defiant glance at
his tOrmentOrs, drew his girl to him once
more, and kissed her with a fervor that
sounded all through the house. A howl
of laughter greeted this display of deter
mination, and, the actors, laboring under
the delusion that the laughter was due to
their comic efforts, entered with greater
spirit into their work. So did the loving
couple, whose demonstrations at last be-
came so exceedingly unmistakable that
the cold and gentlemanly usher was called
upon to interfere, and, at his suggestion,
they left the theatre. When last seen they
were sitting on the southern steps of the
court house, apparently bent upon sitting
up together all night SO as to be sure and
catch Recorder Farrelly and his marriage
license deputy the moment they made
their appearance this morning.

GRANTS MISSOURI FARM.
The Dnapidated Old Home of Mrs.
Grants Father

The DiIapidated Old Home of Mrs.
Grants Father.
One of the possessions of the Grant
family which viii now probably go to pay
their debts, says the st. Louis Spectator,
is the old Dent farm near st. Louis. 1t is
about ten miles from the city, perhaps
fifteen, on the Carondelet branch of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad. 1t was left to
Mrs. Grant by her father and is now held
probably in her individual name. 1t was
there where Mrs. Grant was reared and it
was from there that Gen. Grant used to
haul wood to st, Louis. The place now
looks well worn and somewhat dilapidat-
ed, though it has an immense barn built
some years ago when Gen. Grant pur-
chased a number of fine horses and left
them there. 1t was his intention
at one time to turn the old Dent
homestead into an extensive stock farm,
but he soon got tired of the experiment
and had sale whereat he let 90 all his
fine horses. l was there last spring and
the once splendid farm was only a remind
er of what it had been. The old family
residence where Gen, and Mrs. Grant had
lived for number of years was almost
ready to tumble down from age and neg
lect, and all that was left to remind one of
Gen. Grants abOrtive venture in stock
raising were the magnificent, but empty
barn and Yagrant, brOken-down mule that
minced the grass lonely enough in
slOvenly looking pasture. Mrs. Grant has
always retained a warm affection for her
family homestead, and when she and the
General were in St. Louis the last time
they hired Mr.. Jesse ArnOt's best pair of
horses and drove out to spend the day
there

SIormonism in the south

Two years ago, says Chattanooga spe-
cial of the 10th instant, the Mormon
Church had made such progress in the
South that it was decided to establish
Southern headquarters, and Chattanooga
was put in charge, and seventy odd elders
were distributed throughout the South to
prOselyte for the church. To-day Elder
Roberts left for Mississippi to attend the
first conference of MOrmOns ever held in
the South. He states that at this confer
ence it will be decided whether annual
State conferences will be held. He favors
them, saying that the church is growing
with such marvellous rapidity in the South
that such conferences have become neces.
