CAPTIVATED TUB PRESIDENT.
Miss Lacy Back, a yoong lady cf Front
Royal, Va., recently wrote to Grover
Cleveland, asking a silken necktie for a
crazy qndt, to be made and sold for the
benefit of the poor. In reply she received
a pleasant autograph letter from the Presi
dent, enclosing an elegant tie, for the pur
pose named. Miss B.'s letter was charm
ingly written in verse, and isas follows:
My dear Mr. Cleveland, 1 know it's a
shame
To bother you now, bot i'm not to blame,
At least, not'so much, for Juck is the one
Who first put me up to the thing I have
done.
He told me last night if I'd make for the
fair
A crazy patch quilt and put iu a square
Of something that Cleveland had" worn,
he would buy
The thing for himself, no"matter how high
The price I might set-and so, don't you
see,
It I manage this plan, how nice it will be?
Jack gives a neat sum toward our fair for
the poor,
--Receiving, instead, what, he vsltiea-for
more,
And then, when 1 marry dear Jack, it is
plain,
I'll own both the quilt and memento again ;
. . Now, dear Mr. Cleveland, please .von't.
you just ask
Your sister to send me, 'tis not much of a
task,
An old silken necktie, or handkerchief say,
Some fragment of what you've worn any
day,
To lend to my handiwork dignity due?
And then may the Fates most kindly help
you
To piece at the patch-work you've taken
in hand,
Its intricate patterns, at once small and
grand
May each square that's fashioned with in
finite art,
Glow with the tints truth and wisdom im
part,
Till the national crazy-patch, crazy no
more,
Grows into symmetry ne'er known before!
And still something belter I wish you may
win
Some true, earnest woman, who, through
thick and thin,
Will follow your fortunes as I'll follow
Jack's.
And not any further your patience to tax,
I will cloie, just adding Ibis P. S. to say,
If your own Secretary be out of the way,
Or too mach engaged this petition to read,
Because it is small, just tell him to heed
This admonition: It never is wise
The day of small things to neglect or de
spise,
For sometime, perhaps, in years not re
mote,
We women may have a legal right lo a
vote,
Then if he wished to be President, he
Might have some aid from e'en poor little
me.
" Verbum sap" ia the cue-adieu-may
you be
As happy as good, prays your friend,

Patson Newman's failure to help
foi m the group around the dying
Grant has iu it some elements of the
ludicrous. Of course there will be
pict urea of the death bed, and how
can Newman ever forgive himself for
being conspicuous by absence? It is
an odd, perhaps a significant thing,
that Garfield and Grant died without
the minister.
A bitter rivalry is said to have
arisen between Cornetist Levy and
Miss Ada Hewett, the new cornet,
player who has captured Coney Is
land. She is said to be a musician ol
remarkable skill, rivaling Levy in the
rendition of many compositions and
excelling him in others. Her famil
iarity with the cornet extends even
to the limit of a perfect imitation of
Levy.
In North Carolina, where the Leg
islature recently appropriated $30,000
for the benefit ol disabled soldiers,
who had served in the Confederate
army, on the supposition that there
would be about 1,000 applicants, each
of whom wonld receive $30, over
3,000 applicants have already pre
sented their claims, end it is thought
that the whole number will reach
4,000. If this expectation is realized,
each disabled veteran will receive the
munificent sum of $7 50.

upon another limb, thirteen feet above

sudden the snake's head shot up into
the air, and he not only took in the
squirrel, but snapped thc limb, thrte
inches in diameter, in two. The limb,
which held a nest containing eleven
young hawks, fell to the ground, and
the hawks were all gulped down by

Pleasant and Truthful Tilings About
Edgefield Welt Said by the Rev.
S. h. Morris.
Our honored friend, the Kev. S. L.
Morris, came lo Edgefield from Wal
halls. From a late letter of his to
the Walhalla Courier, we clip the fol
lowing :
It is hardly necessary to say I have
learned to love Edgefield. Who ever
lived iu Edgefield without becoming
ardently attached to its people? What
portion of the State can boast of
greater advantages ? Its lands are as
fertile, its farmers are as prosperous,
its people ss cultured, itsBonsareas
law abiding (notwithstanding reports
to the contrary,) it patronizes higher
education by seuding as many pupils
abroad as perhaps any County in thej
-Sl^?e,---and t/s patriotism it^ uniques'
Honed. At least any one who doubted
the latter would no!> find it to his ad
vantage to investigate this matter.
My removal to Edgefield had for
its oljecf^not the finding of a better
place than Walhalla, but simply to
contribute to the religious elemeut of
E Igefield. The branch of the church
which I have the honor to represent
had never planted its banner on Edge
field soil till a few years previous to
my arrival : and the one weak and
struggling church appealed so power
fully to ecclesiastical assistance and
to my sympathy, that past ties were
sundered, and I soon found myself
the sole Presbyterian preacher in
E Igefield Couuty. It is not very
pleasant in some respects to find one's
self suddenly translated from a posi
(ion, where his ecclesiastical following
is very large and powerful, to one
where his following is the weakest in
the Couuty. But lhe Presbyterian
Church is now no longer the weakest
here, having already advanced from
the sixth place numerically to the
fourth place among the denominations
in the Comity. Upon my arrival
three years ago our membership here
i was about 35 ; now it in 70. Thus,
notwithstanding an unusually iarge
decrease by deaths and removals, yet
it has exactly doubled itself in three
years. During that period it has
been my privilege to receive into the
church 45 additional members, 12 cf
them in the iast two weeks, and 31 in
the last twelve months. Thiee years
ago there was but one church build
-ia?^nd_Lt,linpaiuted, valued at, $700.
and eiluated in the town of Trenton.
Oar first (-Hort was to paiut and fur
nish the Trenton Chut cb, increasing
its value to $1.000. At. the expira
tion of my first year's pastorate we
had built the Johnston Church at a
cost of $1,500; at the close of the
second year we had built the High
view Church at a cost of nearly
$1,500; and now at the close of my
third year we have built the Edge
field Church at a cost up to present
of about $2,500 ; and whilst we use
it in worship, it will still require
about $500 to finish and furnish it.
So that in three years our chinch
property has increased from $700 to
nearly $7,C00. Not boastingly but
with profound gratitude for Divine
favor, I would raise the inquiry
whether any other denomination in
the State han doubled ils member
ship, multiplied its chutch buildings
foarfold and increased its church
property ten fold in a single County
within three years ?
I have built a house and located in
Tienton, containing about 150 in
habitants, 2G miles by rail from Au
gusta, and through which 0 trains at
this season and S in the winter ) ass
daily. I ara surrounded by as good
neighbors and have as kind friends as
at any period in my past life.
THE SWORDS OF TWIGGS.-Gen.
Twiggs was presented with three
swords for gallant service during the
Mexican war, one by his native city,
Baton Rouge, the second by the State
of Louisiana and the third by the
United Stales. These were captured
by Gen. Butler while in command at
New Orleans and turned over to the
Government for safe keeping. For
many years they have reposed in the
treasury vaults, where the jewelled
hilt ol the Government sword was
injured. They were subsequently
sent to tho vault of the bureau ol
engraving and printing. Tho new
custodian of the plates and dieB, not
anxious to have more on his bandi
than necessary, has returned the
souvenirs to the treasury department

I never heard the General s
saya a writer in Washington Ca
but I certainly saw him mad er
to make things blue if he had bi

In the Spring of 1874 a del eg
came here from a taxpayers' coi
tion in South Carolina to expost
against the intolerable extravag
folly and fraud in their State go1
ment. Frank Moses, "the youn

the result was "an appeal to Cx
A delegation of twenty of the 1
distinguished men of the State c

with them, by appointment, to
White House to present the bi
grievance. As we wore passinj
the stairway to the President's re
tion room, Senator John J. Patter
the carpet-bag Representative of
Palmetto State, passed down,
had a grin on his somewhat sardi
face which was indicative of disa
to those he grinned at.
General M. C. Butler, now Sena
certainly construed it a dan
signal, for he Baid tome-: " No^
wonder what Pattereou has been
to?" The delegation waa not lonj
finding out. When they filed i
the reception roora Grant was sta

resting on the table, an angry ll
upon his face, and an expression
the eye fitter for the battle field ll

through the ceremony of introducl

he, " that all you have to say ct

The convention which sent yon he
even dragged the name of my wi
into its debates and made her tl
subject of false and scandalous ace

The delegation was dumbfounde
The members had not expected ai
warm sympathy, but this turning
the tables was t o sudden to find the
prepared. Those who had notici
the exit of " Honest John rattersor
were, however, not so much surpris*
at Grant's familiarly with the pr
ceedings of the convention. Thats!
politician had primed Grant for tl
reception, and on the table close
Grant's band was a newspaper eli]
ping-the report of General Ma
Gary't speech in the convention.
Gene, al Gary, as Chairman of tl
Committee on Federal Relations, ha
opposed an appeal to Grant. Hedi
nounced him aB a drunken tyrant, ri
better than his fellow Radicals i
South Carolina. " While Moses an
his fellow thieves," said he, "are roi

Inoculation for cholera,
The claims of the Spanieh pbiyei
dan, Br. Ferran, in behalf of' his es
pediments of inoculation for cholen
have continued to excite the inter?s
of civilized society. There has beei
an anxious hope among the man]
that the world might at last have tb
benefit of a preventive against th
dread Asiatic pestilence. Oa th
other hand medical men generali
have steadily denied the value of tl
Ferran method. And this denial

These reflections are brought about
by the statements published in the
papers that Bishop McTyeire and
Dr. Shipp, of the Methodist Church,
are publicly quarrelling over eome
minor matter of a personal nature,
and that Dra. Mack and Beggs, ol' the
Presbyterian Church, have locked
horns in a personal controversy in
which the one -is abusiug the other
in the most approved sinner fdshion.
What a spectacle for a sin cowed
world. Four eminent profesa d teach

that must cau?e thc hearts of all
Christian people, who love the Ma=i

one that the devils in hell gloat over

The losses in business among our

Railway Age, n total of fifteen rouila,

605,0C0 in bonds, were thin disposed
of. It is alno stated that, the fore
closure sales for the eii'ire year ol
188-1 included fifteen roads.
