A Historic stove.

The old base burner stove, about
which Bill Nye and his Forty Liars
gathered in years gone by was taken
to-day from its place in Grow & Hol-
combs store, draped in mourning and
now lies in state awaiting its final
obsequies. The stove had stood in
one spot without ever being taken
down or moved for any purpose, for
fourteen years. 1t Was the shrine at
which the old gang worshiped daily
and nightly, upon which they poured
libations Of tobacco juice and against
which they hurled stories so hard that
they would have broken a wall OF
adamant. II the ancient and revered
piece of hardware now relegatcd to
the scrap pile could speak, it could tell
a story that would surpass all the fic-
tions OF modern times. There was some
talk of boxing it up and sending it to
Nye at New York, as souvenir from
the Forty Liars, but it was finally de-
cided TO let it rest at last in the spot
which was the scene OF its long reign
in the past, and where it will neither
be unwept. unhonored nor unsung.-

THE OLD-PLANTERs.
borrowing Money ON u Mortgage
for u Trip 90 Saratoga.

The rice crop suggests the expert
ence Of lawyer who has several plant
ers for clients. 1t is poor plantation,
he says, which cannot raise two mort
cages a year. The older planters are
lavish in expenditures, never figuring
on the future, but living high in hope
Of future prosperity. One planter,
however, found it impossible to lift
his mortgage, and called upon his law
yer for advice. First, he presented
the amount of his mortgage, which
called for $1,000. Then there were
the receipts for sales of rice, which
amounted to $4,000. After deduct
ing what | need to live on, said the
planter, :" | am short 800 necessary TO
pay off the mortgage"
The lawyer looked at the life bill
long and earnestly, and at last putting
his finger on one item Of $500, asked /.
What is this for?" "That is to go
TO Saratoga, sir; never miss trip to
Saratoga" Another $500 item was
pointed out, when the planter indig-
nantly explained: "That, sir, is for
wines and cigars; people must live,
you knowp' And yet it never oc-
cured to this man that he could forego
Saratoga, wines and cigars for one
year, and thus be released from debt.
There is a new class Of rice-planters,
however, grown up since the war, who
are making money. They stay at
home, live frugally and husband their
resources, and, as a consequence, are
doing well.--Atlanta Constitution.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
a Lost Letter Separates Two Ardent
Lovers.

There lived in this town a certain
young woman who was referred to with
sympathy by her girl friends ss "Poor,
dear NJ! You've heard her story?
Wasn't it awfully sad!" Now, the story
was this:
AT the age ofl! she made her debut at
Delmonico ball, and before the season
was out was considered as good as en-.
gagged to a certain young Euglishman Of
wealth aud position. He was every.
thing that could be wished for. and the
young woman awaited with placid con.
fidence the definite and inevitable ques.
ton. 1t came at last in the form of a
respectfully ardent letter, which. with
her parents approval, she answered in the
affirmative. She waited all day for the
lover to make his appearance, but he
never arrived. Three days later she
learned that he had sailed for home.
There were some tears and good deal
OF indignation, but the young woman
was too proud and wounded too deeply
to ask for explanations, and the matter
was allowed to drop.
That was nearly two years ago. AT
the first Wednesday matinee last week
at the Lyceum this young woman dis
covered to her horror that next her was
the man who had SO cruelty and brutally
used hor She sank into her seat in dis
may and was somewhat comforted to
see that the Englishman was equally dis
composed At the end of the act she was
about to rise, when he said: "You
evidently dislike my presence here, but
don't consider it necessary to go; let me
do that" mo" she replied with dig.
nifty, "let neither leave. We are strang-
ers; there is no reason why we should not
sit next to each other as any strangers
do" Upon which the Englishman looked
almost as puzzled as he had before looked d
angry, but subsided. AT the end of the
second act light appeared to have dawned
upon him from some direction. He in.
| quired anxiously, did you receive a
letter from me two or three years ago"
" How dare you ask such question:
cried the angry girl. Because it was
never answered" he replied. Explana'
tions followed, and by the time the curtain
rose for the third act matters were grow.
ing very comfortable again. To cut the
story short, the Britisher insisted that he
should be allowed to put matters upon q
perfectly safe basis. There could be no
objection, they loved each other, the
parents were willing and he wished to
take no possible risks in the future. The
end of it was they left before the play
was over, and in three hours and fifty
five minutes from the time OF their meet
ing be was in possession of wife OF his
own. He had come over to America
again because he had business on thi'
side, and happening to be idle that Wed
nesday afternoon, and attracted by the
name of the play, he strolled into tn.
matinee. There is to be another and
public celebration Of the marriage later
and the Euglishman says he would like
to invite the whole company and manage
ment of the Lyceum Theater.

BUYING ALASKA.
An Old War secret lust Now Made
Public.

Professor George B. Wilcox of Chi
eago reveals in the Congregationalist a
welLkept secret OF our late wa. I.u
says that the purchase OF Alaska from
Russia by the United States Govern
ment in 1867 was really not for the ac-
quisition OF more territory, but was
for the purpose of paying debt of the
war, which President Lincoln and Sec
retary Seward contracted. At the
time, during the war, when it looked
as though England and France we're
going to take hold and help the Con-
iederacy in earnest, President Lincoln
secured from Russia fleet of war ves-
sells to help defend our ports and
assist in maintaining the blockade Of
the rebel ports. The presence Of Rus
sian vessels off some Of our har-
bors was mystery at the time,
and their departure was due to
the fact that the apprehended danger
from England and France did not ma
terialize, and then the question arose
how Russia could be compensated.
President Lincoln had used his war
power freely, and Congress had
backed him up, but here was bill for
millions, and he feared that he would
be criticised for incurring it, although
il was a wise thing TO do when he did
it. While the President was hesitat-
ing how TO get at il, the war closed
and the President was assassinated
and Mr.. Seward was left TO solve the
problem. Russia wanted the money,
bat she appreciated the situation and
waited patiently. Finally the pro-
ject Of getting Congress to authorize
the purchase Of Alaska was hit upon,
and the $7,200, 900 that we paid Rus
sia for Alaska was really in payment
Of the fleet bill, and Alaska was thrown
in. The secret was so well kept that
General w. T. Sherman heard OF il
for the first time in Russia, and he
kept the story 10 himself until recent
army reunion. Secretary Seward must
have shared with some of the Con-
gressmen his secret of the real reason
why he wanted Alaska bought, at
time when the United States Govern
ment needed money more than ter
ritory, but il he did they guarded well
his confidence. The complete history
OF our late war is yet TO be written,
and generations yet to come will read
with wonder and with admiration Of
the consummate ability displayed by
President Lincoln and his Cabinet,
no less than of the marvellous patriot
ism and courage that were displayed
on land and sea by the army and navy.

ORIGIN OF THE "BLOODY
Shirt
The Expression said TO Have Been
Derived from am Old Corsicnn
Custom

| Custom.
The origin OF the expression "bloody
shirt " is said by a correspondent to be
from a Corsican custom, now nearly
obsolete. In the days Of the fierce
vendetta" bloodshed was COM
mon occurrence. Before the burial OF
murdered man the "gridata "
was celebrated. "Gridata "-crying
around. Let us translate il "wake. /"
The body Of the murdered man was
laid upon a plank, then his weapons
placed near his head and his blood
stained shirt hung above his head.
Around the rude bier q circle OF
women, wrapped in their rude man
ties, rocked themselves to and fro with
voriferous wailing.
The men, relatives and friends. of
the murdered man, armed TO the
teeth, stood around, mad with their
thirst for revenge. One Of the women
the wife, or mother, or sister OF the
murdered man-with a yell would
snatch the bloody shirt, and, waving
it aloft, begin the "vocero (lamenta-
tion how'll.
The rythmic bowling was made up
of expressions OF love for the dead and
hatred OF his enemies, and its start
ling images and tremendous curses
were echoed in the faces and mutter-
ings Of the armed mourners. BY
transition the phrase "bloody shirt "
was applied to the Southern rebellion.
