Russia,s Great Novelist.

From the Louisville Courier-JonrnGI
Count Tolstoi is a man of TO, with iron
gray hair, sunburned countenance, plenti-
fully furnished with gray beard aud mus
tache. HIS hair is parted down the middle
and is thick and full. His brow, furrowed
with the ploughshare OF thought, is broad
and massive; his eyes, small and piercing,
CLEAN out beneath bushy brows. His nose,
large and prominent has full and express
i've nostrils. The features are so strongly
marked that once seen they cannot soon be
forgotten. He is rather above the average
hight, and his three-score years have not
bowed his stature. But he is no longer as
robust as he was. He looks somewhat
shrunken and worn, as if time and the ever
burning fire within were making inroads on
what was once stout and stalwart FORM
Count Tolstoi dresses not q la moujik,
but not as a count. He wears coarse, dark
blouse. buttoned up the breast and fast
ened round the waist with leathern girdle.
Collars, cuffs and such frippery he eschews.
His trousers are as those of other men. On
his head he wears soft. weather-bea
brimless hat, and whenever he walks abroad
he carries a stout staff. The costume of the
disciple is like to that of his master. Sim
plicity in dress is distinctive note of the
Tolstoian gospel-one among the many
points in which it resembles the Quakers.

COLUMBIA, Dec. 27-The state of South
Carolina was presented to-day, through
Secretary of State j. Q. Marshall. with the
great seal of the confederate states of
America. The seal is presented by Col
William E. Earle of Washington. The
great seal, which, as finally adopted by the
j. Semlnes, the1 a confederate senator
from Louisiana, was made in England and
reached here just before the close of the
war. At the evacuation of Richmond,
the seal was overlooked. 1t was subse-
quently found and turned over to Col. John
I. Pickett Of Washington, who sent it to
England, had several copies made, and
some years later presented Col. Earle with
the seal which he has now given to this
state. The seal is of polished bronze, and is
three inches in diameter. On one side is an
equestrian statue of Washington copied
from the statue in the state house grounds
at Richmo ID. The only inscription upon
the seal IS the following: ''rhe Confeder-
ate States OF America, 22d February, 1862
Dec Vindicere."
In his letter of transmittal, Col Earle
says: However men may differ as to the
policy and principles upon which our coun-
try Is or should be governed, those who
passed through the ordeal Of danger ami
privation, who fought and lost, will cherish
with pride the memory of the heroic endur-
ance and manhood with which the struggle
was upheld and maintained"
The seal will he kept in handsome glass
covered case in the office of the Secretary
of State.

only II years old, charges that Gregory
under pretense that her brother, William

hotel in this city, induced her to leave the
residence of M NJ. Scott, merchant Of
New Albany, to accompany him to

tel, where, registering her as his wife, and
under her insensible condition, he accom-
plished her ruin. Her father on the 10th
inst. at Marietta shot Gregory five times
twice in the abdomen, twice under the left
shoulder Dlaue, ana once IN Cne SnOuluer.
News came to this city that Gregory had
died On the morning of the nth at 6 o'clock,
and this report was published in the New
Albany and Louisville papers and was con-
firmed by statement made by Davis on
the morning of the 21st, when he arrived in
this city.
1.-THE report of Gregory's death was dis
puted on the 23d, and TO confirm it. or get
at the facts in the case, the correspondent
visited Marietta on the Oath. He found
Gregory still alive, Notwithstanding the
dreadful character of his wounds. The two
wounds in the abdomen are straight
through just below the navel. The two
wounds under tho left shoulder blade are
supposed to have passed through the left
lung. The wounded man was in an insensi-
BILE condition, but his surgeons had hope of
his recovery.
George w. Davis, who inflicted the
wounds, is a well-to-do blacksmith and
farmer, and had been one of Gregory's best
friends. Gregory's tenacity to life is extra
ordinary, his surgeons hoping that he may
recover, though it would seem that the alb
dominal wounds are necessarily fatal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-President Cleve.
land and President-elect Harrison have,
since the election, been dignified and
friendly. 1t will be remembered that a
short time after the election the beautiful
mistress of the white house, Mrs Cleveland,
wrote letter to Mrs. Harrison, and gave
the future mistress of the executive mansion
a pressing invitation that when sire,
with her husband, came to Wash
ington, she spend the days preceding the
inauguration as her guest. After it was
certainty that Mr. Harrison had been
elected, President Cleveland wrote letter
to his successful opponent, extending TO
him congratulations ON the result of the
election which would make him the Presi-
dents successor This naturally and
properly brought forth a pleasant reply
from the future President Since that time
a very pleasant correspondence has been
carried on between the two distinguished
men. Some of Mr.. Harrison's letters have
been in the nature of inquiries regarding
the daily routine of the Office, together with
many other things which Gen. Harrison
would naturally desire to be informed upon.
Mrs. Harrison has also been in weekly
correspondence with Mrs. Cleveland
with reference TO many household
affairs, which a woman of Mrs Harri-
sons domestic thoughtfulness and care
would deem important to know. IL is said
by those who seem TO speak from knowl-
edge of past changes of white house occu-
pants, that more friendly relationship with
the outgoing and incoming families never
existed.
The two secretaries, though they have
never met personally, except for a few
minutes ut the Hoosier capital q year ago
last fall, have exchanged letters, Col.
Lamont having written at some length TO

He began his stealings on Dec. %, 1886,
when he put $50 in his pocket which a
woman deposited. Stopford says that after
doing SO he felt miserable for days, thinking
any moment detective would enter to ar
rest him. But as weeks went on and the
ford determined to refund the money he
had stolen. He endeavored to save, but he
saws that was hard thing to do with a
family of growing children to bring up.
He found that he couldn't pay it
back. He remained honest, however,
until Feb. 20, 1888, an interval of al
most fourteen months from the first larceny.
Then he took $50. His pilferings began in
earnest eight days later. The lowest amount
he took was $35 and the highest 5000. The
last larceny was on Dec 10 last. A. ID.
Aschmead, of Third avenue and Eighty
fourth street, made deposit of $50, which
Stopford took. On Dec II Mr.. Aschmead
made another deposit. This time Stopford
was away from his desk and one Of the
clerks acted in his place, and in making the
last entry in the ledger discovered that the
previous deposit had not been entered.
The attention of Samuel III. Rathbone,
president of the bank, was called to it,
Mr.. Rathbone thought it mistake, and
called Stopford's attention to it when he
appeared. Instead Of explaining it to the
presidents satisfaction, the paying teller
reoled against desk and bowed his head III
shame He broke down and confessed all.
He had kept entries in a note book of the
money he had stolen, and they aggregated
$1,70J. President Rathbone Immediately
brought the disgraced receiving teller to the
American Surety Company. at No. 100
Broadway. They had given bonds for him
in February last for $4,000. and since that
day Stopford has been under the surveil-
lance of detectives connected with the com
pany. They refrained from arresting him,
however, as Stopford said he had friends
who would probably put up the money and
save him from disgrace.
Neither the bank officials nor the surety
company had any desire to have him
punished. 1t is said that relative of Stop
ford's. who is in Wall street, was appealed
to. but his answer Vice President Henry d.
Lyman, of the surety company, describes
as very freezing. That settled it, and Stop
ford was made a prisoner yesterday and
arraigned at the Toinbs.

and Justice O'Reilly held him in 81 500 bail
to await the action of the grand jury.
Stopford, who is 80 years old, says he
never gambled, and all the money he stole
went to his wife and children. He said to
