"Wendell Phillips was a citizen of
the Twentieth century sent as sam

is not in biography another character
more profoundly interesting and in
structive. Whether judged by the
length, variety, influence or genius of
his life, this man was unique. :.
Would any one understand this GEN.
fury? Would he equip himself for
usefulness? Would he catch fire from
contact with one of the purest. ablest,
most inspiring Of men? Let him study
and emulate the career of Wendell
Phillips"
This book traces Phillips career
from his boyhood; one of nine chill
dren of wealthy parents, ON through
his school and college days, when he
was the leader of the aristocracy in
Harvard, to the time when he re-
nounced all his fattering prospects
and became one of the despised Abol-
itionists. 1t tells of his part in the
great struggle, and of other leaders
connected with him in it. Then, after
victory, how he still worked for negro
suffrage-the last step in the black
mans freedom. When that was ac-
complished, not content to sit idle,
going into the temperance work and
the cause of the laboring man, and
so working Till the end. The book is
filed with extracts of his letters and
speeches, and gives three of his
speeches in full, viz: 1.-THE Lost
Arts" "Daniel O'Connell," 1.-The
Scholar In Republic" These have
never before been published in book
form. No one can read this book
without being greatly interested in
and benefited by the record of such
a life.

No matter what may be mans per-
sonal convictions on the temperance
question, he is bound to respect those
of his wife The venerable Senator
Thurman was never considered rabid
on that issue, but his wife, for reasons
of her own, was full imbrued with the
touch not, taste not, handle not" prin-
ciple. 1t is related that upon one oc-
casion Senator Humans friends Wis
tied his house to apprise him that a
new political honor had been conferred
upon him. He was pleased, but after
they had been seated a few moments
the conversation Jagged, and the old
Roman seemed to be i'll at ease His
wife tried her best to entertain the
campaigners, and the Senator excused
himself. He presently appeared with
his boots and top-coat ON.

To BE Remarked.

Frank Stimson and Mary Ballman
were married in Asheville, n c., in
1865. subsequently Stimson secured
divorce from his wife. Five years
ago Mrs. Stimson, accompanied by her
two children, came TO Georgia and To-
Gated in Camden County. She bought
a small farm, which was tended by her
son, aged IS years.
Soon after Mrs. Stimson left her old
home the former husband married
again, and one year afterward his sec
ond wife died. Stimson found the life
of a widower not pleasant one, and
he cast his eyes about for another com
panion. When he thought of his first
wife the old love revived, and he wrote
to her, pleading for renewal of her
love.
Stimson was successful, and will
marry his divorced wife some time next
month. The comiag wedding has set
the whole neighborhood to talking, and
great preparations are being made to
do honor to the couple.-Atlanta

facture was not suppressed until long
time after everybody knew as well as
the officers themselves that the coun-
terfeit was manufactured somewhere
up the stream. The big Sandy dol
lar" as the counterfeit was denomina-
ted, was as common as its more legiti-
mate brother from the mint at Wash
ington or New Orleans along the Ohio
valley, and it was claimed openly, and
1 believe frequently admitted to this
day by the older people, that the Big
Sandy dollar" contained as much sill
yer and was as handsome n piece of
money as the genuine. Even long after
the discovery of the coniackers' den in
the mountain the bogus dollar re-
NAMED in circulation. To account for
this the writer has been often told that
the counterfeiters had discovered a
vein or mine of silver in the mountain.
and that they were "using pure silver
and more of it" than was contained in
the genuine. BE that as it may, the ira
dition still exists that silver mine
existed and was long worked at some
point on the Sandy.
believe none Of the countcrfeiters
were ever arrested, and the reason
given is that there was a code of ethics
among the inhabitants which granted
every one the privilege of using his
raw material as he saw fit. The same
code prevails to this day in another
branch of illegal trade-that of moon
shining, or making illicit whisky-for
it is a well known fact that although
the article can be gotten at almost
every hamlet no one has yet been fool
hardy enough to betray the maker and
then remain i'll the country.
The traveller, If he is not a spy or
marshal, has no difficulty in getting as
much of the clear, hmpid, but terribly
strong stuff called "pinetop" or. moon
shine" as he wants. 1T would be little
or no use, certainly very unsafe, to I'M
dertake to hunt down and capture the
moonshiner, for every tree, or gulch,
or mountain side would be very apt TO
be the hiding place of a sharpshooter,

unsavory these people are kind and

officers from bona 6ds residents of the
Territory.
Clerks of Senators and Representa-
tives are busy receiving and sending of
packages of seeds, furnished them by the
Secretary of Ayr culture. while the ladies
are in turn sending flower seeds home to
their lady friends. Recipients of these
favors | st year complained that the seeds
furnished them did not sprout. Secre-
tary Rusk states that great p inns has
been taken this year, and thinks there will
be very little like trouble.
The Washington society season is most
woefully dull for the hundreds of ladies'
who come every winter TO revel in the
gayeties of the national capital. The re-
cent bereavements in the fami les of the
Cabinet contributed in no small measure
10 this state of affairs. Mrs. Harrison
and other ladies of the White House have
gone South TO remain several weeks, and
by the time the party returns the season
will be SO far advanced that oil festivities
will doubtless he postponed until next
winter. Society leaders are. very much
disappointed, az they had every reason to
expect, in view of the great wealth con-
tanned in the officers of the administra-
ton, very brilliant winter.
IL may not be generally known, but
Washington is the most unfortunate city
in the United States in the number of
petty thieves contained within its boun-
daries. Old residents have long since
learned that to leave almost any trine
about within reach is equivalent to
throwing it into the river Housekeepers
find IL next to impossible to secure the
services of cook or other servant who
can resist carrying away after dark
enough for family to live on the next
day. The reason given for this is the
large number of negroes in the District.
There ire over fifty thousand colored
people, one-fifth of whom work and the
balance subsist the Lord only knows how;
and they all look fat and healthy, too.
The Superintendent of Census is much
further advanced in his work than was his
bureau this time ten years ago. BY June
80 it is expected that all the preliminary
work will be completed. and by the LIST
of August he will be able TO announce the
population. The bureau now has cleo
trical enumerating machines, which do
as much work in five hours as was for
merly done in fifty-fve. These machines
do their work on basis of 10000
600 names, so that the Superintendent
thinks that within twenty days from the
receipt of the last schedule a close esti-
mate of totals can be given. Bv the time
the schedules begin to come in there will
be force of 600 clerks ut work. The
farm, home, and mortgage statistics, a
new branch especially created by the
present Congress. adds immensely to the
labor. During this month hundreds of
agents will be at work in every county
searching the records of the LIST ten
wears for statistics of farm and home
property and mortgage Indebtedness.
