told him / did. He then asked me if /
knew George w. Burr. ] told him | did.
He said that Mr.. Burr was a cousin of
his. He then said he was interested in
making a very nice article Of cloths, suit
able for spring and summer suits, and
asked me if l would just step In and look
at his samples. / told him / did not want
TO go with him, but he invited me to step
into a room three or four doors from the
Times building, toward Chatham street.
He had his samples cloth in a leather-cOV
cred case. / saw hhrough the window Ofthe
room into which he had invited me that 10
was carpeted and had two or three chairs
and table in II. i wentintO room back
of the front room, anG he opened his case,
asking me 10 beltcb WnAl 1 WOui0 Ike.
and said that he would send me anything
| might select by express, or any other
way in which might direct. / looked at
the samples, aud they were really good.
He said, when the goods were sem, il
made a choice, could look at them in
the express Office, and need not take them.
While looking at the samples man came
in and wanted change for $50. / told that

let us do So" / had Slj in my vest pocket,
and took IL out and held il in my hand,
so that the edges Of the money showed
above my fingers, The man who had the
samples then grabbed my hand and took
the SIS from me. Then both men, the one
who had the samples and the one who had
come IN and asked for change for the $50
rushed out. They had only just passed
through the door when another man came
in at the same door, grabbed me by the
collar and said he would have me arrested

Take a well-charred oak plank, ? inches

Heat the plank thoroughly before the

It. back downward, TO the hot plank with

A Beautiful Memorial.

From the F1orida (Feynandiaa) Mirror.
We mentioned some months since the
intention of DR.. j. B. Upham, Of Boston,
to place a window in St. Peters Episco-
pal church in Fernandina as a memorial
to the noble hearted physicians,
Drs. Wexford and Herndon, who had laid
down their lives in the performance of
seit-elected duty during the epidemic of
1877. The window was placed in the
church during the past week, and has
elected the admiration of all who have
had the opportunity of seeing it.
The general design is that Of a crown in
the upper section of the arch; below this
is a beautiful shield of purple illuminated
glass; a cross Of mother of pearl forms
the centre OF the window ornamented by
a cluster of delicate white flowers, with
the symbol Of the anchor representing
Hope, the Holy Scriptures illustrating
Christian Faith; alpha and omega, the
symbol of the Almighty power the be-
ginning and the end; the cup of salvation,
and the paten, the emblem of sacrifice.
In the lower part of the window an illu-
minated tablet has the following inscrip-
ton:

A. IL. STEPHENS.
An Unpublished Letter from Gen. U. s.
Grant in Rotation to the Southern
Statesman.

An Unpublished Letter from Gen. U. s.
/ Grant in Rotation to the Southern
Statesman.
From, the Courier-Journak
The following letter was written to one
OF the two biographers of the late Alexan-
/ der II. Stephens, of Georgia, who were
chosen by himself to write his life. The
! gentleman, now of this city, was present
/ with AIR. Stephens in his last hours, and,
/ knowing how Mr.. Stephens esteemed the
1 General, felt sure the regard was recipro-
/ cal. His own acquaintance with Gen.
/ Grant having been limited to one inter-
view across the lines at Vicksburg and to
letters, the request to which the following
/ is the reply was sent by their mutual
/ friend, Gen. James LOngstreet:
/ NEW YORK, June IA, 1888.
DEAR SIR-1our letter of MAY IS, in
/ closed to me by Gen. Longstreet, in which
/ you ask few words from me in regard to
/ my estimate of the late Alexander II
/ stephens, reached my Office during my
/ absence in the West. Since that time
| have been in my office but three or four
/ days, and finding an accumulation of let
tiers, which am not yet through the dis
/ posal of, is my apology for not answering
| you at an earlier day. / never had the
/ pleasure of personal acquaintance with
MIR. Stephens until he, with Mr.. Hunter
and Judge Campbell, visited my head
quarters at City Point, Va, during the
last year of the civil war. had, how
ever, known him by reputation for many
years, and placed high estimate upon
his character and ability as well as states
manship. Our personal acquaintance,
though we differed so widely in matters
affecting our common country, only
served to increase my admiration for the
man. As ] understood, without being a
man Of large means, he devoted largely
from what he could earn 10 "the greatest
good Of the greatest number" Through
him many a deserving young man has
found the means OF acquiring a fine edu-
cation 10 give him a start in the world,
and in most cases, If l am correctly in
formed, he has been compensated for
his generosity by seeing those who had
these fayOrs conferred do honor 10 their
benelactOr.
In all his public utterances Mr..
Stephens impressed me as man who was
never afraid 10 speak his honest conyic-
tions without regard as to whether they
would be popularity received or not. TO
tho day Of his death / retained the high
estimate of his life and character formed
before knew him, increased by personal
acquaintance. Very truly yours,

"Greater love hath no man than this .

The beautiful execution of this window,

the admiration and warm appreciation of
the citizens OF Fernandina, to whom the
memory OF Drs.W clifford and HerndOn Is
deservedly dear, and will be regarded by
our citizens as graceful profess
sional tribute by DR.. Upham 10 these
noble men. as Well as an indication
of his kind feelings toward our city.
There is a striking coincidence in the
fact that these noble men should have
been born in the same city, in the same
month, and having volunteered their ser
vices. reached fernapdiDa in the midst Of
the epidemic on tho same day, and that
their deaths should also have occurred
the same day. IL was therefore peculiarly
fit that one and the same memorial should
have been erected 30 those who were faith
