June 1, 1873 10 -It THE OLD BROWN GOAT. ?? .' BY CAPTAIN MARRYAT. , j "I. reckon you see' nothing very par ti cular in this, do you ?" said an Ameri can acquaintance ot mine; bringing out the cliff of an old coat, and holding it up before nie, dangling it between his finger and thuinlx ' ? "?I can't say that I do," replied I; "but I presume it has some secret merit, which remains to be explained." '"Ex-act-ly," replied rny acquaintance, pronouncing each syllable of the word apart i "yet the coat of which this is the remaining cuff, was the occasion of my being just now pretty considerable well to do in the World. I am right, ain't I ?" .continued he, appcaliug to his wife, a very pretty young woman, who stood by .him. "So you seem to think," she replied, smiling ;? "but I am not convinced, so far as I am concerned in the business, that that coat had anything to do with ?it.?' ."Well, then, I shall just tell my story, and leave you to decide," said he, turn ing to mo. "You must know that thcro was a time when I was rather hard up, and how to go ahead was the business. 1 had tried mercatile speculation and sunk and immensity of dollars. I had' turned lawyer, but that would, not an swer in my way. I took to farming?no luck there. Went out supercargo ; ship went on a reef, and lost cargo. Return4 cd to New York, speculated a long while upon nothing ; didn t loose much, that's certain, but didn't realize; at hist I guvc up business, and resolved to amuse my self a little, so I went South and joined Bolivar. 1 fought with him for three years, and a*good officer he was; but no had one fault as a .geucral, which was, "XllUL Uta ?lllin JJU, v-r j?~;.l _ Jl wntx^A my three year's- pay, but' fiudiifg thoro was neither pay nor plunder, I got tired of it, and made my way home to the States, and at last arrived at the capital, with only one extra shirt and not a ceut in my pocket. I happened to meet with j a tailor whoso customer I had once been, I when I had money and. paid my bills; and he observed that my coat was rather shabby, and that I could not appear in it: I knew that very well, and that all he wanted was an order for another, but as I hau no chance of paying him, I thought itiidvisablo not to' take the hint. "I think*" said I, "that with a now velvet collar and "I think," said I, "that with a new velvet collar and brass but tons, it might do very well for an even ing party. . "I sec," says he; "that's an old coun try custom, wearing an old coat at a ball. I guc.cs you're going to Mr.?T.'s to-mor row night. A regular Hare-up, I am told. President thero and every and everybody tlsc. It's ' hardly worth it," continued he, touching the threadbare c?ff. "Yes it is," replied I, "there'll be a regular jam, and a new coat would be spoiled. 'Ill scud it to you to-night, and you must let me have it in the morning ; so good bye." "Well, the coat came homo tho next day, not early in the morning, as I ex pected, but past meridian, and I walked up and down my bed-room in my trous ers, thinking what I should do. At 3 o'clock I called upon Mrs. T., and left my card ; went back again, and waited two hours for the invitation. Called again, and waited two hours f.r the in vitation?n*o invitation.* Called ngnin'nt five, and left another card, telling the nigger that I had not received an invita tion, and that there must be some mis take ; whereupon an invitation came about an hour after my return, just as.,1 was putting my hat on to calj again, and leave another card, in a very fierce man ner, I reckon. Well, I (went very early to the ball, and my coat looked remark* ably gay. You could?co that the velvet collar was new, and tho buttons glittered famously; but you could not sco that the cloth was noi n little the worso for the wear. In short, my brown coat looked vory smart, and 1 was a consider ably smart fellow myeoll just at that time. "Well, I stood near tho door, looking at the company coming in hoping to know somebody ; but I presume that I had grown out of nil recollection, for no body Jshew me; but as the company was announced I heard tbeir names, and if they ?id not know who I was, at all events I found out who they were. "This wont do, says I,, as the room be came quite full. I may stick against the waif till* daylight, but I shall never go ahead ; so at last perceiving a lady speak ing jto the daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, alter they parted I went up and bowed to her. Having hoard her name I pretcuded to be an old acquaintance and accused her of having forgotten me. As I was very possitive and very bold, shPprcsumcd it was the case ; and when I gave her my name, which I refused to dp until we had been talking for some minutes, as it happened to bo a very good one, sho considered that it was all right, and iu another quarter of an hour We became very intimate. I then asked her if she knew Miss IS--, the daugh ter of the Secretary of the Navy, She replied that she did, and I requested her to introduce me; .and offering her my farm, wc walked up to tho youug lady ^together, and I was introduced. Now, thought'!, I am going ahead a little. After the introduction, I commenced a conversation with Miss E--j and a gen tleman fortunately relieved me of my first acquaintance* whoso arm L had dropped. I continued my attentions to Miss E-, exerting myself to the ut most, and on the strength of my intro duction and my ngrceablcness," 1 was soon intimate with her, and sho accepted my arm. As 1 paced with her up and down the room, asked her if* she knew the daughter of General S-, who was uenr us. She replied iu tho ailirmativc, and I requested an introduction, which was immediately complied with. I olfer cd Miss S-my other arm, and paraded , them both up aud down the rocnv mak iiie them laugh not a little. "Now ram going ?. u^-v ?i.:..*.<, j "and my old bown coat looks remarkably well." "Here is tho Pr?sident coming up," said Miss E-. "Do you know him?" "I did once, a little, but he must have forgotten me, since I have been in South America so long?" "The President came right up to us; and addressed the youug ladies; I made a sort of half bow. "You don't recollect Mr.-?" said Miss S-. "I recollect tho name very well," re plied the President. "You are very well supported, Mr.-; you have the navy and army on cither side of you." "And the highest officer of tho State before me," replied I -with a low bow. "I ought, iudeed, to feel proud. Jt makes amends for all the privations that I un derwent in my last campaign with Gen cral Bolivar, for the General aud his nids-dc camps fared no better than the meanest soldier." "That last was u hit. 1 did not, say j that I was aid-do-camp to Bolivar, but! they thought proper to fancy so. The President made mc a bow, and, as it ap peared, he wanted to have some informa tion from that quarter, and ho asked many questions, all of which I was able to answer with precision. After a quar ter of un hour'* convcrsa'ion, during which the whole room was wondering who it was that was so intimate with the President, and many were trying to catch what was said, the President?prcsunting, as Bolivar's aid-do-camp, that I could give him information upon a certain point and not wishing to have the auswer pub lic,?said to the young ladies, "1 am go ing to do a very rude thing; 1 wish to ask a question which Mr.-would not like to reply" to except in strict confidence 1 must take him away from you for a minute oc two.- 1 beg your pardon Mr. -, but I feel and shall bo truly grate ful for tho sacrifice you will make in giving up such charming society.' "I feel tho loss will ohly be on my part," said I to the young ladies, as I dropped their arms and followed the President to a vacant spot near tho orchestra. The question which the President put to me wns one which' I could not well answer, but ho helped mc out of my difficulty by answering it according to his own wiews, and then appealing to me if he was not correct. I replied that I certainly was not at liberty, although I had left the service of General Bolivar, to repeat all ' that I know ; "fortunately," continued I, bowiug, "wneife* "clear-sightedness"- is np pnrcut, there isjio occasion for the ques tion being answered." "You are right; Mr.-,T wish all about me had! your discretion and high sense of honor," who had one of my new brass buttons between. his thumb and finger;. vaud X perceive by your reply that I was* also right in my conjecture. I rfm much obliged to you, and trqst I shall bco you at tho Gov ernment House." I bowed, and retired. "I am going ahead now, at nlj^cvcnts, thought; I, as every one was' looking hs l retreated. X had been walking ann-in nrm with tho daughters of the two first officers of the State, I had been in confi dential communication with the Presi dent, and that, before all the elite of. Washington. I can now venture to or der another suit of clot hes, but never will I forget you, my old browu coat." "Tho next day tho tailor came to me, he had heard what had taken place at tho ball, and I amended my wardrobe. Everybody came to me for orders, and J ordered everything. Cards were left in showers; I was received everywhere-, the President was my friend; and from that moment 1 wont ahead faster and faster every day, till I am as you now sec, well off, well married, and well lip in the world. "Now I do most pertinaciously declare that it was all owing to the old brown coat; and I havo kept this cuff, which I show now and then to my wife to prove that I am grateful, for had it not been for. the old brown coat, I should never have been blessed with her for a compan ion." f "But,** said the wife,. around whose waist' ho had "gently encircled his arm, "the old brown coat would have done no thing without the velvet collar-and the new brass buttons," "Certainly not, my dear." ' "And they..would not have effected much ^viuioui,. ??v v - a -jacked "What ?" "Impudeucc!" replied the lady, giving him a slight sh\p on the cheek. A H?del Establishment. Amoug the many evidences of the growth and prosperity of Charleston there is none, perhaps, more cheering or more complete, than that which is ellbrded by the extensive factory of Messers. W. P. Russoll & Co., at the cast end of Hasel street THE MAIN FACTORY is located in; in a spacious building, three stories in height. Upon the first floor, the principal feature is an immcpso lathe' upon which huge stick* of timber arc turned into columns and pillars. There are also other machines used in preparing material for doors, I sashes and blinds. The machinery of the entire factory is driven by a powerful engine located on this floor, the boiler being in a fire proof outhouse adjolutng. -There is A FLAMIMO MACHINE, a complication of cogs and wheels, but* in itself the perfection of*mcehanioal skill and ingenity. A rough board .is run through it, and, by the single process, comes out planed on both sides, and tongueu and grooved ready for use for ceiling and flooring. On tho second floor, where- the material' prepared below is glued together, there arc all tho latest improvements in machinery. In the manufacture of blinds, for instance, no work at all is performed by hand. The slots are cut, planed and trimmed to the proper size by machinery. The side pieces arc put into a machino that grasps them and punches the holes into which the slats are lilted,and, in lesatimo nlinout'than it takes to tell it, the blind is ready to be glued together A BTACTOUS CARPENTER SHOP IS SEIKO nuil.T, which will be supplied with improved ma chinery, and in which will he built all the separate parts which constitute the framework of a, houso. At this time the firm-nro taking orders for the erection of houses, every part of which is built in there establishment, anc A-.nl ofF in detached? pieces. Tho> facilities for doing the work' nro of course ample, and houses are frequently cut out, as It werp, and sent off to distant parts of the State to be erected. Messes. W. P. Russell & Co, have associated with them, as superintendent of their establishment, Mr. Wm, C. Speir, au ac tive and energetic architect and mechanic, and plans and specifications of buildings can now bo had at tho factory, MR. W. T. RUSSELL, is an energetic man, and has by his own indi vidual effort built up the large factory which now bears his namo. Tho establishment is a monument of sharp practical business talent and a visit to. ?to place and an examination of its details and intricacies will am pi}' repay tho visitor. The " factory gives employment to about sixty persons, who arc kept busy sup plying the demands of a business that Is in creasing daily.
