Miss Nellie Gould, the great tinanciers
eldest daughter, probably has more indie
pendent property than any other unmarried
woman in America. She is her fathers
favorite, and every year he gives her presents
of stocks and bonds which amount up into
the hundred thousands. He takes great pains
with her investments also, with the result
that her fortune grows apace every year.
Added to this, her mother, who had a fortune
of several millions, left the greater share OF
her property to Nellie; so that she is esti-
mated to 10 worth over S6OO0,000. Her Life
has been passed in the quietest way, and,
though she is but 20 years of age, her mode OF
existence is as quiet and humdrum as though
she were forty The big Gould mansion
rarely sees any festivity, and an awning up
in front of their door would throw the neigh
borhood into panic of excitement. Her
mothers failing health has been partly the
cause Of this, for Miss Gould was not only her
devoted attendant and companion, but was
also the head Of the household and bore its
whole responsibility. They have box at
the opera, but they are not very regular at
tendants, and the only place in which she IS
frequently seen is the Presbyterian church OF
which she is a member. She interests herself
in charities also, and in half dozen summer
/ homes fer sick babies and poor women.-New
/ York Letter.

"Tothe English law that everything print

saves an infinite amount Of worry and vexa-
ton in after years. 1t should apply to every
thing-books, play bills, circulars, prospec-

tail a severe penalty. It is scarcely to be be-

A pitiful illustration of the determination
and grit animating the old soldiers of the Con
federacy was witnessed in the governors Office
recently. Mr.. John NJ Varnadoe, of Telfair
county, came in on crutches to apply for a
pension. His left leg was of above the knee,
the right foot was stiffened out perfectly
straight and his hands were very rough and
horny. Mr.. Varnadoe is an illiterate farmer,
and being unable to write his name made his
cross mark to the application. After he re-
ceived his order for $50 he was asked by Capt
Tip Harrison what be could do toward max
ing living He replied that he could do
anything on a farm that any other man
could do. He sat down on the floor and
showed how he chopped cotton, propelling
himself along the row by means Of his hands.
He also cut wood by sitting down to 1t, and
on one occasion cut and split 1870 rails in
day He dug the well on his place and re
shingled his house. Mr. Varnadoe has wife
and eight children, and seems as happy and
contented as most men, Notwithstanding his
crippled condition.-Atlanta Journal
