We clip the following from the Atlantis

tends to ,bequeath it to his son in the
shape of an heirloom to perpetuate the
memory of that memorable visit to the
old chieftain of the Confederacy."
In letter 10 the Augusta Chronicle, T..

bales of cotton in the hands of the farmers
along the line of this railroad between
Calhoun Falls and Anderson, distance
of IS miles. saw more cotton piled up
on the farms along this road than 1 have

indication that these farmers are out of

is SO, the finders must have lost their
heads in sampling the quality of the
goods, and thus forgot the lay of the
river at the lucky point. The location
at which the Ogden went down is now
said to be sand bar, which would be
very easily worked at low water. For
this reason the Ogden is said to be the
most promising of all the old wrecks
for searchers after wealth carried down
by the treacherous Missouri. There is
understood to be a very fair working
capital available for anybody who can
suggest any feasible plan of operations.
Another two years went by, and then
the Twilight, side-wheeler, went
down. The Twilight found bottom
near Sibley, above Fishing river. She
had on board a cargo of between two
hundred and three hundred barrels of
whisky, bound for the mountains. The
point at which she went down is some
thing like mile inland now and is a
very inviting field for exploration. A
number of companies have been organ
lied to prospect for the buried whisky,
bnt the attempts made to locate it have
all been futile. Capt. George Keith, of
the steamer Mason, running between
st. Louis and Kansas City, has been at
the head of a couple of companies and
has not yet given up the idea of locat-
ing it. Another attempt will probably
be made this coming summer. Those
three hundred barrels of Bourbon would
pay big dividend on any reasonable
capital employed in drilling and exca-
waiting. The chances are, however,
when the find is turned it will be by
some farmers ploaghshare. Louis

THE MODERN DRAwING-RooM.

| Though Far from Perfect, 1t Is Steadily
Improving.
When you can no longer turn round
in her drawing-rooms without ieopar-
dizing spindle-shanked table or COM
ing into violent contact with screen,
when you cannot cross the room with
out ducking your head to avoid a fight
of cottonwood storks that are suspend
ed from the ceiling, and when you cam
not enter the room without being
caught in the tangles-of bead cur
tain-then the modern hostess is proud
and happy, feeling that she has done
her duty by her house and her genera
tion.
And then an excellent receipt for the
construction of this sort of drawing
room is as follows:
'"Take five large screens, as many
sofas, and like number of palms.
Surround each palm and sofa with a
screen so as to cut off as much as possi-
BILE all communication with the outer
world represented by the rest of the
room. Drape the screens with as many
different pieces of liberty silk as they
can conveniently carry, and tie up the
pots of each palm, and in some cases it's
stem as well, with liberty scarfs. Pin
as many unseemly insects in the folds
of the draperies as you can. Hang
tambourine from one of the palm
leaves, sprinkle photographs wherever
you can and then serve up and await
results"
We cannot but recognize the truth Of
this irritable description, and vet taste
in decoration is improving. 1t is grati-
flying to see less and less of the JIM
crack decorations entering into "now-
aday" furnishings. We can all of us
recall the fearful white tides that wa
dreaded to muss; and the Brussels car
pet with the awful scrawl design, and
the blue roses and the grave-lilse mar
BILE mantels, and the orange-colored
mats, and the white china door knobs.
and the Chinese pagoda of perforated
card board, that dear Aunt Maria made.
and those lovely wax peaches that be.
came dented with age, and as the
recollection of it all dawns upon us we
wonder whatever became of the lovely
box on the whatnot that was made by
pasting sea-shells all over it, and the
hanging baskets, with the rustic twigs
stuck on with sealing wax-they looked
so much like coral.
The whatnot was always such a
thing to be carefully guarded; there
were so many valuable things on it.
We wonder where the wonderful ships
are that came from the glass blowers
We no longer see the Berlin wool
cross-stitch pictures that were hung on
the wall.
We no longer see the pastel picture
of Innocence" that hung in the corner,
in frame that was all black walnut
and gold, and we miss those grand slip
pers of magenta velvet with two green
parrots embroidered in worsted.
All, those were the days of the renais-
sance in American decorative art. They
were days, truly, of American schemes
in decoration, and we have come to tha
conclusion that we cannot do better
than to slavishly initiate some of the
old world methods and old world

Among novelties imported from LON
don is a high round waist called the
Princess May, to wear over the dress
instead of q cape or jacket. 1t is
usually black, either of satin ribbons
taken lengthwise and joined by rows
of jet galloon or else it is of piece satin
striped with galloon of gold or copper
tints or of jet. Instead of regular
sleeves two ruffies of lace over plated
net frills are gathered in the armhole
and extend nearly to the elbow. A
ruche of lace is at the throat and folds
of satin are arranged as girdle. Diff
fering from this are Paris waists, low
neoked and sleeveless, made of satin or
hengaline, to wear over gimp or dress
waist of any summer fabric. One pretty
waist of Liberty's black satin has a
rutfie of the material four inches wide
turned over from inside the low neck
and extending down the front as wide

ONCE MORE.

Once more along the riverside
Are willow tassels swinging;
Once more among the woodlands wide
Are robins gayly singing;
Once more the gorse blooms on the fellSs
The heather on the mountains;
Once more the cowslips ring their bells
Above the laughing fountains.
Once more the wood anemones
Are fluttring in the shadows,
The daisies star the verdant leas,
The buttercups the meadows;
Once more the languid violet opes
Her dewy eyes at morning;
Once more the southern.lying slopes
The blue bells are adorning.
Once more each truant breeze that blows
Through wood and forest searches.
To steal from orchard boughs their SHOWS
The perfume from the larches
They set the lanccs Of the wheat
In mimic fitting motion,
And speed once more the swallow heet
Across the briny ocean.
Once more the whirring corncrake cries
Amid the dew-wet clover,
Ger woodlands green the cuckoo flies,
A merry, careless rover;
The leafy woods are all a-chime,
The skylarl1's notes are thrilling;
Once more gladder blither rhyme
The poets lays are filling.

An Incident of the Columbian
Fair.

One day last month the two eld-
est sons of Chief-Justiee Judd were
dining at restaurant on the Fair
grounds in Chicago, and an Indi-
ana farmer sat near them and be-
gan to question them. what
State do you come from?" The
boys told him that they came from
no State of the United States, but
from the Hawaiian islands. This
made the "hayseed" open his eyes.
"Say; do you wear such clothes as
you have on out there?" (The
boys had been fitted out by Roth,
of Honolulu.) They told him
Eyes" He then asked, "Do you
eat out there such grub as you are
now eating? Do you have Irish
potatoes and watermelons out
there?" These questions being an
swered in the affirmative, led to a
long conversation, but when the
boys said they were going to Yale
college, this was too much for the
farmers credulity, and he thought
they were guying him. He thought
that one of the boys might be an
American but said the other was a
Spaniard.

DR.. Andrews stated he had spoken

positive. He thought there was
nothing left for the board but to

the resignation should be accepted;
he therefore moved that the resigna-
ton of DR.. George Trousseau be
