NOT LOST! The look of sympathy, the gentle word, Spoken so low that only angels heard; The secret art of pure self-sacrifice, Unseen by men, but marked by angel's eyes? These arc not lost. The sacred music of a tender strain, Wrung from a poet's heart by grief and pain, And chanted timidly, with doubt and fear, To busy crowds, who scarcely pause to hear? These are not lost. The silent tears that fall at dead of night Over soiled robes, that once were pure and white; The prayers that raise like incense from the soul, Longing for Christ to make it clean and whole? These arc not lost. The happy dreams that gladdened all our youth, When dreams had less of self and more of truth, The childhood'* faith, so tranquil and so sweet, Which sat, like Mary, at the Masters' feet?. These are not lost. The kindly plans devised for others' good, > So seldom guessed, so little understood; The quiet, steadfast love that strove to win Some wanderer from the ways of sin? . These are not lost. . | Not lost, 0 Lord! for in thy city bright j Our eyes shall see the past by clearer light, And things long hidden from our gaze below Thou wilt reveal, and we shall surely know! These are not lost. CLOSING SCENES AT APPOMATTOX. Interesting Reminiscences in a Letter from Minister Washburne. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Repitblkan prinU the following letter from Minister E. B. Washburne to a resident of Virginia: Legation of the United States, ) Paris, Juno 17,1874. j Dear Sir : I have duly received your letter from New York, dated the 23d ult. At the epoch you speak of great events were so crowded together that it is im possibie for me, at this length of time, to recall the details of many of them. But I well recollect the arrival of the deputation of the three citizens from the municipal government of the city of Lynchburg at Appomattox Court House, and the object of their visit to Gen. Gib? bon, then in command of the Union forces. I shall never forget the pleasant interview I had with those gentlemen, and the interest I took in their narration of events and the state of things at Lynchbarg. After bearing their state? ments I know I was in full sympathy with the purposes they had. in view, and so expressed myself. But I was there simply as a private individual, and had no authority to advise or scarcely to sug? gest. Perhaps my opinions may have had some weight, but I would not claim even that; and I fear that the generous citizens of Lynchburg have given me credit for what really belongs to others. I can only attest my feelings of gratifi? cation at the success which attended.the efforts of the Lynchburg delegation on that occasion, and the pleasure we felt ' at the time at their having successfully accomplished their mission. Knowing Gen. Grant as I did, and knowing him to be as just and magnanimous as he was brave, I had no hesitation in saying to the delegation (and to the others) that I had no doubt were he present he would at once accede to their request. Your letter and your allusions to Gen. . Gordon revive many recollections of those eventful days. I arrived at Appomattox Court House on Tuesday, the 11th of April, 1865. Gen. Grant, after receiving the surrender of Gen. Lee on Sunday, the 9th, he left the next day with his staff officers en route for Washington. I met him the next evening at Prospect Station. Desiring to see the two armies, the next morning the General gave me a company of cavalry as an escort to Ap? pomattox Though the surrender had been made on Sunday, yet the details as to the parole and many other matters had to be agreed upon, and the laying down of arms was to take place at a fu? ture day and as soon as the preliminaries could be arranged. Three Commission- j era were appointed on either side for that purpose, Gen. Gordon, Gen. Pendleton, I think, and another gentlemen whose name I do not now recall, on the side of the Confederates, and Gen. Gibbon, Gen. Merritt, and a third, perhaps Gen. Mac? kenzie, on the side of the Union forces. When I arrived at the Court House ne? gotiations were going on between the Commissioners at Gen. Gibbon's bead quarters, at the house of a Mr. McLean, and I then saw many of the general offi? cers on both sides. From what one saw there it conld hardly have been conceiv? ed that these men bad been in arms against each other through more than fonr years of deadly strife. The terror of the breach, the fury of the charge, and the fatigue of the march seem to have been forgotten, a~:d these brave men come together more as friends than ene? mies. In all of their talks there was never a suggestion nor a word from ei? ther side that could have wounded the tenderest susceptibility. Many of these officers on both sides had served together in the old army,and it was touchingandin teretting to witness the sympathy between them which had survived those long years of conflict and carnage. General Cadmus Wilcox told with emotion how his old classmate, Gibbon, accused him of having nothing but Confederate mon? ey, and taking from his pocket a new and crisp $50 greenback, thrust it upon him. There was one sentiment among all of these men, which seemed to crop out in spite of themselves and that was, that after all the bloody struggle of the past, they were still all Americans. The only punishment I saw inflicted was that on some large jugs of brandy which had found their way to the Union headquar? ters, and under the peculiar circumstan? ces that was not taken and deemed as a "cruel and unusual punishment" within the meaning of the Constitution. I met on that occasion two gentlemen in the Confederate service with whom I had served in Congress,"Hon. Alexander B. Boteler, of Virginia, and Hon. Lucius Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi. Lamar was a member of the Committee on Com? merce in the Thirty-sixth Congress, of which I was Chairman, and though we differed on all political matters as widely as two men could well differ, our person? al relations bad always been pleasant and agreeable. Though I had not much money with me, I proposed to divide with him, but he declined, saying he could see his way clear to get to Balti? more, and when once where Winter Da? vis was he should be all right. I knew what that meant, for the intimacy and friendship that existed between those two brilliant and gifted men, so utterly op? posed to each other on all of the political questions of the day, was well known in Washington circles. They were united by a tie which binds together scholars, persons of similar tastes, and men of genius and eloquence, and which even the storms of war conld not sunder. Had these men lived in France during the great revolution, Lamar would have ri? valed Mirabeau in the tribune of the Na? tional Assembly, and Winter Davis would have been the peer of Vergniaud, -the echoes of whose graceful but indig? nant eloquence resounded through all France long after his head had rolled in? to the basket of the guillotine and his blood ran in the gutters of the Place de la Bevolution. After remaining two days at Appomat? tox, I was ready to start with my escort on my return teward Burksville and Richmond. Gen. Gordon, having heard of the sickness of his family at Peters? burg, was extremely anxious to get away as soon as his mission in connection with the surrender should be ended, and be sent word to Gen. Gibbon to inquire if he thought I would have any objection to his going with my escort. I sent as an answer that I should be pleased to have him or any of his friends for com? pany on the long horseback journey be? fore me. I had beard so much of Gor? don, and knew bo much of his wonderful career as a soldier, that I was very hap? py to have him go along with me. Gen. Cadmus Wilcox, an old Regular Army Officer, and well known in military and naval circles before the war, and Gen. Alexander, a young graduate of West Point from Georgia, also joined us. With these generally came many of their staff officers, and, therefore, by the time we got started we had quite a large party. Our first day's march brought us to Farmville pretty late in the evening. I took my "command" directly to the bead quarters of the Union General in com? mand, Gen. Curtin, an accomplished young officer from Pennsylvania. He received us with the most cordial hospi? tality, and immediately devoted himself to providing some rations for his half starved guests, and to stowing them away for the night. The latter was a some? what difficult matter, for we were iu quite large numbers. Beds being scarce, Cur? tin and Gordon (I believe it was,] "turn? ed in" together, which reminded me of the incident so much talked of at the time, of John Tyler and John M. Botts sleeping together at the National Hotel at Washington, soon after the death of Gen. Harrison, in the Spring of 1841. The next day we pursued our journey to Burksville, and from there we took tbe cars to Petersburg. We then separated, and I have seen none of the gentlemen since, except Gen. Alexander, whom I met a few days after in Washington.? All of these recollections are * now ex? tremely interesting to me. I had seen the culmination of events at Appomat tox, and I believe I was tbe only man ! there on either side who was not in some way connected with the military service. I enjoyed my long horse-back ride from Appomattox to Burksville very much. Gordon and I rode Bide by side most of I the distance, and no "Radical" or "Con? federate" ever got along better together. i found the General a man of rare intel I Iigence and great conversational powers, and as we went "marching along," we talked for hours and hours of the inci? dents of the war on both sides, and spec? ulated as to the future of the country. Bidding each other good-bye at Peters? burg, we each went our way. I do not believe that Gordon, at that time, believ? ed he would be a Senator in Congress from the State of Georgia within the next eight years, and I certainly had no idea that within the next few years I should change my residence from Galena to Paris. But so it falls out. And here I will stop, and you may say it is quite time. Not stopping after having endeav? ored to give you tbe information you sought for, I have run off into personal reminiscenses in which you can feel but little interest. ? I have the honor to be, very respect? fully, your obedient servant, E. B. Washbune. John L. Winston, Lynchburg, Va. Revolt of the Colored Offlce-Holders. Washington, Feb. 18. i The great political event oif the time is the speech of tbe colored Senator from Mississippi in executive session last Thursday. It has attracted more atten? tion-ana been commented upon wider than any speech delivered in the Senate for many a day. In executive session, however, there is a freedom which Sena? tors do not enjoy in open session. It would be undignified for Senator Tbur man to smoke when the galleries are open. So it would be a breach of good mannen for Senator Conkling to comb his whiskers and arrange his hair when there are spectators in the chamber.? But in executive session Senators can do like other mortals?wear " their hats, smoke, indnlge in badinage, and still be considered respectable. So it suited tbe colored Senator from Mississippi to speak his mind freely about Grant and the lie publican party, aud in so doing he has incurred the displeasure of the high toned, dyed-in-the-wool Abolitionists, who are always prating about fidelity to Earty. "How did the nigger dare to open is mouth in our presence," asked a Sen? ator who was displeased at the remarks of Brace. "He must have been drink ing," answered another, while the opin? ion was offered by a third, "In wine there is troth." Another set pretend that Brace is disgusted with Grant, and be? cause he does not applaud Grant's name for a third term, the President and Cabi inet are against tbe colored Senator. All manner of excuses are offered except the right one, and that is that Senator Bruce and bis constituents, black as well as white, are tired of the domination of tbe Republican party over tbe South, while pretending to be such good and true friends of the people of that section.? What the Senator from Mississippi said, and what the Democrats applauded was, that his people were tired of being polit? ical slaves to any party. In this he is not alone. On the samo day, Thursday last, Mr. Lynch, the colored member from Missis? sippi in the House, uttered the same sen? timents. He was replying to the speech of Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, who bad charge of the consular and diplo? matic bill, when he said: "I can assure my colleague that what we want is to have his party inaugurate a liberal, fair, generous, reasonable policy that will tol? erate an honest difference of opinion upon political questions. We want his party to pursue a policy that will con? vince the colored voters that their iden? tification as a mass with any one politi? cal organization is no longer a matter of necessity. Sir, I express it as my hon? est opinion that the identification of the colored people as a mass with one political organization, especially so far as local matters are concerned, is not so much a matter of choice as it is of Democratic hostility to them as a race, a matter of necessity. The affiliation of the masses of the white people in the South with one organization is not so much a matter of choice with them as it is the result of tbe existence of a public opinion which in some localities does not tolerate an hon? est difference of opinion upon political questions except at tbe sacrifice of social position and success in business. These are tbe evils that roust be removed. White men must bo allowed to disagree upon political questions without being socially ostracised and destroyed in busi? ness. Colored men must be convinced that they, too,can dividein political mat? ters without running the risk of losing their rights and privileges under the gov? ernment. When this can bedoneall will be well, and the South will prosper, but not till then." It will thus be seen that the sentiments of Mr. Bruce are not con? fined to the Senate. Tbe more impor? tant significance is this : They give ex? pression to what the Radical leaders say is the voice of lamentation. The Presi? dent recognizes the fact that there are no more Durells in office to write mid? night orders, and he is powerless to force tbe carpet-baggers upon an oppressed people? Cor. Baltimore Gazette. He Cake from Staten Islaxd.? Revivalist (to rural visitor at Hippo? drome)?Mv friend, did you come here from curiosity ? R. V. (slightly deaf)?No, sir, I didn't; I came from Staten Island. Revivalist?You don't understand me. Did you come from curiosity alone? R. V.?Yes; came alone?the old wo? man's got corns, and had to stay at home. Revivalist (rather impatiently)?No, no, my good sir; what brought you here to-day ? R. V. (smiling)?Oh, I see 1 Why, the horse-car did.?Commercial Advertizer. Turkish Rules op Conversation. ?Conversation in Europe has been de? scribed as a duetto in an opera, in which the two persons engaged in it are talking to an imaginary third person, each re? counting a tale of his own. "I say some? thing and you say something else, and we will agree to call it a conversation." Now in Turkey there are certain forms or canons of conversation, any violation of which is considered an outrage, and the sum of which constitutes their code of politeness as applied to conversation. 1 will enumerate these one by one. 1. Never to interrupt the speaker while be is talking. However long-winded or uninteresting his conversation may be to you, politeness requires that you should wait for his conclusion. You are not under any obligations to enter into con? versation with him at all; but if you do, it is an understood condition of your con? versational treaty that you should let him have his say. 2. Never to diverge, in the middle of a conversation, from the main thread of a discourse into a collateral issue. The breach of this rule is considered by a Turk as unpardonable rudeness. To drive a red herring, as it were, across the scent of conversation is, in his opinion, to coufound all thought and render all {?rofitable conversation impossible. This euds as a corollary, 3. To allow short but sufficient pause between the conclusions of a discussion on one subject and the entering on a new subject. 4. Never tell a person a thing he knows already. 5. Not to excuse one's sei f when convict? ed of being in the wrong. How very sel? dom you hear in Europe, "Yes, I was in the wrong, I am sorry for it." But in Turkey it is considered a violation of principle and a breach of politeness to refuse to be convicted of error. The cause of this difference lies deep in the character of the two races; in the ab? sence on the part of the Turk of petty vanity and distracting self-esteem. The proudest race in the world, they are en? tirely exempt from vanity. 6. When you have nothing to say hold your tongue. Tbey never talk for the sake of talking. Empty, idle jabbering is not an Ottoman practice. In Europe it is considered de rigueur to "say some? thing," whether that something is worth saying or not. Not so in Turkey; to say something when you have nothing to say worth saying is considered there a degra? dation to yourself and a rudeness to your neighbor.?Pall Mall Gazette. Patronize Home Merchants. ?To all our people we commend the following rules, which have been deemed so suggestive that merchants in other places have united in causing their publication as an advertisement: First. It is your home; you cannot improve it much by taking money away to spend or harvest. Second. There is no way of improving a place so much as by encouraging good merchants, good schools and good people to settle among you?spend your money at home. Third. Spend your money at home because there you generally earn it; it is your duty. Fourth. Spend your money at home, because when it is necessary for you to get credit, it is of your own town mer? chants you generally get it, and they must wait for the money; therefore, when you have the cash. in hand, spend it at home. Fifth. Spend your money at home. It will make better merchants of your merchants; they can and will keep bet? ter assortments, and sell at lower rates than if the only business they can do is what is credited out, while the money goes to other cities. Sixth. Spend your money at home. Yon may have sons growing up who will some day be the best merchants in the city ; it is a duty; it may be your pride in after years to say: "By trading at the store, I got my son a position as a clerk, and now he is proprietor," then you will thick it hard if your neighbors spend their money out of town. Set the exam? ple now. Seventh. Spend your money at home. Set the example and this season try and buy your dry goods, groceries, meats, and everything at home, and you will see a wonderful change in a short time in the business outlook of the place; therefore deal with your merchants. Eighth. Spend your money at home. What do you gain by going off? Count the cost, see what you could have done at borne by letting your merchant have it, and been just as well off, besides help? ing your merchants. Going to Give up His Situation.? In Forayth, one day last week a gentle? man standing in the street noticed a two mule wagon drive up to one of the stores. There was nothing peculiar in this, but what particularly struck his attention was the fact that the driver?a colored man? had an exceedingly lengthy pair of reins, and was seated in the hindmost part of the wagon. When the team stopped, the negro cautiously fastened the lines to a standard, got out over the hind-wheel and made a circle of forty or fifty feet to get to the headB of the mules. This so ex? cited the gentleman's curiosity that he walked up and asked: "Look here, uncle, you aro not crazy, are you ?" "Does I look like a crazy nigger, Mars Tom?" "Well, what in the name of common sense are you cutting up these antics for ?walking almost twice around the wagon to get to your mules, and seated on the 'gate' to drive?" The negro looked at the gentleman a moment and then burst into an uncon trouble fit of laughter. "What the devil do you mean ?" "Mars Tom, don't you know dat off mule dar? Dat's Mars Tump Ponder's roan mule." "Well, what the mischief is the matter with the mule ?" "Why, Mars Tom, dat mule is a sight ?dat mule is. She's the ongodliest mule in all cr'ashun. She got sense like white folks. No nigger can't come fool in' roun' her. Only las' Chuseday she kick a brass brespin off a town-merlatter's sbirt-bozum. Trufe, Mars Tom. An' de nigger don' know twell now dat he ain't done gone an' los' it hissef. I got him home now. Why, Mars Tom, when I goes to hitch up dat mule, I has to put de harness on wid a pole, an' I has to git a new pole ebry time. Lemme play wid powder and Cbrismus shooters, but don' Simme no roan mule. I can't stay wid [ars Tump arter die week. I'm too fon' of my fam'ly, and I don't b'long to no church, nudder." A Leap Year Tragedy.?They stood together in the entry beneath the hall lamp. "Then Henry," she said, in a low voice, wherein were blended determina? tion, melancholy and love, "you refuse my suit?" "Yes, Ella," he replied, in accents that were firm though the speak? er's voice trembled. "I admire you; I will be a brother to you, and watch with pride your course through life, and if ever trouble should befall you there will at least he one friend to whom you can come for succor; but I can never, never be your husband." "It is not be? cause I am poor, Henry ? For, oh, if that wore all I could toil gladly from morn till night for you and strive and win a home for you, humble it might be, but our own." "It is useless to attempt to iuduce me to change my determiua-. tion. Though I am but a poor, weak man, I can never, never change my mind." "Then, cruel young man, so fair, and yet so false, farewell. To-morrow you will see my mangled remains on the lecture platform, and know that it has been your work. But it will be too late," and, clasping him to her bosom in a wild em? brace, she fled into the outer darkness. Climate and Wbather.?Climate is geographically fixed, while weather is atmospherically variable; climate iB a calculated quantity, while weather is an unknown one. All sorts of rules are ap licable to climate, but none are applica le to weather. Climate is monarchy, weather is anarchy. Climate is a consti? tutional government, whose organization we see and understand; latitude and al titudeare its king and queen; dryness and dampness are its two houses of par? liament; animal and vegetable products are its subjects, and the isothermal lines are its newspapers, but weather is a red hot, radical republic, all excitemonts and uncertainties, a despiser of old rules, a hater of proprieties and order. Climate is a great, stately sovereign, whose will determines'She whole character of the lives and habits of its retainers, but those whose rule is regular, and therefore so lit? tle felt that it seems like liberty; but weather is a capricious cruel tyrant, who changes his decrees every day, and who forces us by his evor-varving whims, to remember that we are slaves. Climate is local; weather is universal. We are indifferent to climate because we are ac? customed to it, but we are dependent on weather because we never know what form it will take to-morrow. Climate is the rule; weather is the exception.? Climate is dignity; weather impudence. ?Blachoood Magazine. Don't Allow Smoking.?We mean around barns, gins and farm buildings. Most people who smoke will agree with us that it would be better if the practice could be abandoned entirely ; but every farmer can at least make a rule that no smoking should be allowed in or near building, straw and hay stack and barn yards. It will need a good deal of vigil? ance to enforce such a regulation, but it is absolutely necessary if property is to be reasonably safe from the destructive element. ' More than half the fires in ru? ral districts originate in careless use of tobacco, often by hired negroes, or those roaming about the country and loafing around farms. Occasionally the burning building makes the funeral pyre of its originator?a result which does not seem so horrible to the man whose buildings are burned, as it naturally should. Easy Arithmetic?In the new novol of Lady Wood, Below the Salt, one of the characters gives a definition in arithmetic that will be quite acceptable to our young lady readers. Edgar is speaking to Pieasance: "Now I kiss you three times on one cheek, and four times on your mouth. How many did that make alto? gether?" "Seven," whispered the girl, disen? gaging herself to breathe more freely. "That is arithmetic," said the youth, triumphantly. "Dear me," said Pieasance, "I could not have thought it." All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? What is the greatest stand ever made for civilization? The inkstand. ? Economical fathers of grown-up daughters are growling over the fact that there are fifty-three Sunday nights this year. And it is leap year, too. ? It may not appear of any particular personal interest to any of us, but it is a fact that there will be a total eclipse of the sun on the 11th of August, 1999. ? "No, sir," said a weary looking man on a street car to an individual by bis side. "I wouldn't marry the best wo? man alive. I've been a dry goods clerk too long for that." ? The difference between the sexes may be stated thus: "A man gives forty cents for a twenty-five cent thing he wants, and a woman gives twenty-five cents for a forty cent thing she does not want." ? An Alabama editor, in puffing a grocery store kept by a woman, says, Her tomatoes are as red as her own cheeks; her indigo as blue as her own eyes; and her pepper as hot as her own temper." ? Benjamin Franklin introduced broom corn into this country. While examining an imported corn whisk he found a single seed, which he planted in his garden. From that seed the corn was propagated. ? An old preacher, who had several calls to take a parish, asked his servant where he should go, and the servant said, "Go where there is most sin, sir." The preacher concluded that was good advice, and went where there was the most money. ? A man and wife at Eatonton, Ga., were remarried after two years of matri? mony. The first ceremony having been in some way informal, and the inheri? tance of a large amount of property de? pending upon the validity or their mari? tal relations, they called their friends to? gether and had a brilliant wedding, and went off on a honey-moon tour. ? One day you will be pleased with a friend, and the next day disappointed in him. It will be bo to the end and ej?u must make up your mind to it and not quarrel, unless for very grave causes. Your friend; you have found out is not perfect. Nor are you; and you cannot expect to get much more than you give. You must look for weakness, and vanity in human nature; it is unfortunate if you arc too sharp in seeing them. ? Ex-Commodore V. M. Randolph, formerly of the United States Navy, died at the home of his son at Blount Springs, Alabama, on the 28th of last January, at the age of senty-nine years. He was a commodore in the United States Navy, but upon breaking out of the civil war he resigned the commission and entered the Confederate service. His advanced age unfitted him for active duty, but bo was for a time placed in command at Mobile. THE STONO PHOSPHATE CO., Charleston, S. C.
