HIS FIRST RECOGNITION.
The Turning Point In the Career OF
Nathaniel Hawthorne.

The first reading of THE Scarlet
Letter" has been told in T. ". Hig-
ginson's book OF essays. Contempt
raries." The reading was given TO
the authors dearest critic. his wife.
During the entire wlnteS when he was
NJ work upon the book he seemed OPP
pressed by some secret anxiety.
There was a knot in his forehead
all the time" said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went TO her
and said that he had written something
Wiki he would like TO read aloud.
The work amounted to very little. but
still he would like TO read it, All that
evening he read. but as the romance
was unfinished at bedtime his wife
made no comments. knowing that he
disliked criticism until one had heard
the whole.
The next night he read again, and
now her suspense grew so unendurabl
that In the midst OF a moving scene
she sank from her low stool TO the
floor. pressed her hands to her ears
and declared that she could not bear
to hear il.
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement.
do you really feel 1t so much:" he
asked. Then there must be something
In IT,"
The next day the manuscript was de-
llvered to the publisher. and on the
following r>orning Mr.. James T. FIELDS
the publisher. appeared at the authors
door. When he was admitted. he caught
the little boy of the family in his arms
and asked. You splendid little fellow
do you know what father you have|
He had sat up all night TO read the
manuscript and had posted out to
Salem In the early morning. After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorne came down stairs with firm
step and walked about. his face illu-
mined by new hope and vigor. The
world had found him out. Recognition
was AT the door.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

Tn discussing a question which is
claiming the attention of progressive
people throughout the country the Al
bany Herald says
Good country roads are worth hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars to a county, and taxpayers make
no mistake when they demand that the public
funds to which they contribute be applied in gem
erous measure to the building up Of the public
highways. Dougherty county spends consider
able percentage of her annual revenue in the
maintenance OF her public roads, and the invest
ment is one of the very best she ever made
farmer who lives in a neighboring county
said TO a Herald representative recently III the
public roads Of my county We're as good as those
of Doug.erty would consider that my plantation
had Increased in value fully 20 per cent That
remark gives some idea Of the substantial i'm
p.ovement good roads work wherever they are
built.
The people of Terrell county are
awaking to the Importance of better
public roads. and it is not improbable
that the grand jury which will meet
next week will consider the advisable
itv of adopting the new system OF road
working which has done so much for
other counties. The neighboring coun-
ty of Dougherty affords practical il
lustration of what can be done toward
road improvement. That county is
noted throughout this section for its
model public highways, and they are
perhaps doing more to built it up than
any other one thing.
Money iudiciously spent in building
good roads is always money well in
vested.

NEWS AND VIEWS.

A pitiful story OF a Christian Science
mother comes from Nebraska. She
believed she could raise her three
children from the dead. The children
had been in their graves for years.
She went TO the cemetery, stretched
forth her hands and called to the lit
tie ones to come to her. The police
led her gently away. She protested,
asserting that if she were not inter-
fered with her loved ones would
be restored to her through faith. She
will be examined for lunacy.
The political speech made by Gen.
Chaffee the other dav in Pekin, which
is receiving the attention of some
| of the newspapers, was delly-
cred by him at smoking concert
given by Gen. Gasebee, in his honor,
in the Temple of Heaven" This par
ticular temple is most highly venerat-
ed by the Chinese people. 1t is as sa-
cred to them as our churches and ca
thedrals are to US. The smoking con-
cert in the Temple of Heaven in Pekin
was as much hateful dissertation as
would have been an opium smoking
orgie in one of the leading houses OF
worship in Washington or New York
by invading Chinese.
From the latest official reports in
the British war Office it is ascertained
that the total killed, wounded and
missing among the army during action
in South Africa up to March 81 was
1898 officers and 1882 non-commis-
stoned officers and men. In addition
| I'll officers and 1881 non-commissiOn.
ed officers and men have died OF wounds
or disease, making the total casual
| ties foot up TO the enormous total OF
1887.
A schedule of losses sustained in the
recent Jacksonville cOnhagratiOn by
the several insurance companies doing
business in the Florida metropolis has
been published. The list embraces
sixty companies, their total loss being
"a, 74S, 900. The Liverpool, London &
Globe was caught for the largest
amount, $4,000, and the Madgeburg
for the smallest: $4,000.
A South Carolina married woman
recently eloped with another man and
s., 800 of her husbands money. And
now her husband advertises that if the
man will return half the money he
| can keep the other half as a reward
| for carrying off his wife.

MOVING THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

The war department has awarded
contracts for the removal of the con-
federate dead from the cemetery at the
soldiers home and from other local
graveyards TO the national cemetery at
Arlington, where they will be grouped
on a plot of three acres and half. The
graves will be arranged within a cir
Gle surrounding mound upon which
will be placed flowers and shrubbery,
the remainder of the plot being plant
ed with similar growths, including
trees native to southern soil. A bill
appropriating the money necessary for
the removal of the bodies was passed
by congress some time ago, and the
work would have been carried out last
fall had 1t not been for some opposition
that was aroused in the south. Ac-
cordingly, the removal was postponed
for several months TO allow time for
the list of the dead to be published in
the south with the statement that if
the friends of any particular person
desired to take their dead elsewhere
they were at liberty to do SO. No re-
sponses have been received, and the
department is, therefore, now carrying
ont the work.
