BY THE RIVER. San Francisco Letter. Some laugh and dance through all their days, No shadows fall across their way. For some the wintry years drag slow, For some the skies are always gay; The strong heart beats the weak heart down In life's amalgamation; The good and bad are all so near, The rich man's pall, the poor man's bier, The wanton's laugh, the orphan's tear, They come in swift rotation. The-tide runs high, the tide runs low, The years go fast,, the days go slow; For meT core not bow it seems, So long as I can dream my dreams. The good man thinks that he is good, The bad man knows that he is bad, Sreek. well-fed virtue lifts his eyes, And thinks that vice is sad, so sad; The one hates with a goodly hate To call the other brother; But, peradventure, it may be . A startling, yet divine decree, When truths, made manifest, shall he Change places with the other. The. tide runs high, the tide runs low, The years go fast, the days go slow; For me I care not how it seems*, a So long as I can dream my dreams. Ah, friend, you say that life is short, To view with men is much the best; I care not if che world stands still, Nor if the sun dawns in the west; But midst the reeds upon the shore I hear the babbling river saying This dirge of fate, "Too late! too late!" 0 idle life, 0 empty heart, Unused to bear.unskilled in praying. WAS IT A TRADE? The Alleged Bargain and Trade Ventilat? ed by Got. Colqnltt and Ex-Governor Brown. Atlanta Constitution. There has heen published in some news? papers the details of a rumor that there has been a trade or bargain by which the change in the Senatorship was made. The direct est way of meeting this sort of thing is to let the parties interested speak for themselves; It will be seen from the following that they speak with no uncer? tain sound: What Governor Colqnltt Says. I called at the Executive Office to see Governor Colquitt and asked him if he would not give the public, through the columns of the Constitution, an answer to questions bearing ou the recent appoint? ment. He replied that he would do so with pleasure.. "You have heard the rumor, then, that there was some sort of a bargain or un? derstanding between yourself and Gov? ernor Brown or General Gordon in regard to their resignation and appointment. What have you to say about this?" "I have to say that it is utterly, wan? tonly false," the Governer replied, with great feeling, "and that no. one but a liar or a thief would make such a state? ment!" . "There was, then, no sort of understand-, "None?nor the hint of one?none, di? rectly or indirectly. I have had know? ing of Gen. Gordon's desire to resign for several months. It gave me great con? cern to see him 'leave the Senate, and I resisted it until I saw that he was deter? mined upon his conrse. I then began to look about for a successor in case he sent in his resignation. I soon arrived at the conclusion that the fittest appointment was Governor Brown, and at once sent for him. When he came I stated the case and tendered him Gen. Gordon's place. He declined it at first, but I urged him to accept, and he finally said that he' would think it over/ There was not the slightest hint of any condition or trade or bargaiu or understanding. He begged me to urge Gen. Gordon fc> reconsider, saying that he thought Gen. Gordon's re tiriug would' be'a loss to' the State. I promised to do tins, and did'It, and he left expressing the hope that Gen. Gor? don would reconsider. "You did not know, then, that he would acceptjvhen you telegraphed him ?" "I did not. I was both surprised and gratified at his prompt acceptance." "Yon have not represented Gen. Gor? don in any proposition or tender to Gov? ernor Brown ?" "None whatever. I do not know to this moment what Gen. Gordon is going to do?what position he is going to ac? cept, or what has been -offered him, or what be wants. I only know that I tried to the very last to persuade him to re? main in the Senate, and when that failed appointed the man, in my opinion, who was best able to fill his seat. I do not blame any man for?but I have nothing but loathing and contempt for the man who hints of corrupt or questionable methods in getting at it." "How do you account, Governor, for the fact that Governor Brown's appoint? ment was predicted as-soon as General Gordon's resignation was announced?" ''Simply from the fact that General Gordon's resignation had been under consideration some time, and I had con? sulted with some of them that if he. resigned I should appoint Governor Brown. That is, I presume, the explana? tion. These friends must have mentioned what they had beard me say as to my choice." What Governor Brown Says. From the Executive office the Consti? tution man went to see Govenor Brown, in answer to the same inquiry put toGov. Colquitt, Gov. Brown said: "The statement that there has been any trade or bargains or condition in this matter is an infamous falsehood, and you are authorized and requested to say this for me 1" "Will you give me the history of yeur appointment ?" "I will. The first hint that I ever had of General Gordon's intended resigna? tion, was in a conversation with Govern? or Colquitt. He said to me that the res? ignation was probable, and asked me if I would accept the place if General Gor? don insisted on resigning. I stated that I would not, and I at once urged the Gov? ernor to write General Gordon and urge him to remain in bis seat. The Governor promised to do this, and then urged me, in case he failed, to accept the place. I still declined, but left toe matter open at his request. After consulting with Rome friends, I decided to accept, in case General Gordon resigned. There was no suggestion or hint of any bargain or un? derstanding or condition, then or at any other time. . I was simply urged to take the place, and finally agreed. There nev? er has been the slightest hint of a condi? tion." "Did you have any correspondence with General Gordon?" "I have not exchanged a word or thought with him by mail, or telegraph, or other? wise, in months, and never anything that bore in the slightest degree on this matter. Nor has any friend passed one word be? tween usjnany way." "Hasthere been the slight c-st suggestion that you should give up the place to Gen? eral Gordon ?" "Never at any time. On the contrary, the only suggestions I have had are ur? gent requests from my stokholders that I should remain in charge of the road. I have letters or telegrams from every shareholder in the lease, except the holders of one and three-quarters shares, urging me to stick to the Presidency of the road, and this I shall do. I shall re-; pursue exactly the same policy that has1 characterized my management all the time. There has. been no attempt to change this, and no wish to do so. Ac to my denial that there has been any sort of trade, or suggestion of trade, or exchange of places, or change of policy, you cannot express that as strongly as I should wish to have it expressed. The facts are just as I have given them." General Gordon not Heard From. It was of course impossible to get an interview with General Gordon, but we are authorized in the strongest sense to deny, in hi* name, that there was any suspicion of trade. He will return to Georgia in a few days, when his own indignant words will give to the people additional denial to this last rumor. A Cat Routed by Sparrows.?The other day a number of gentlemen were sitting in the detectives' room in the City Hall when an English Sparrow flew near the window, peeped in, and darted away again. Capt. Holzworth, who saw the little fellow, said that whenever he saw a sparrow i? reminded him of a little scene which occurred in his yard one cold day last winter. The sparrows, it seems, as? certained the fact that there was a knot hole in the gable of his house and took advantage of their knowledge by taking Eosscssion of the hole and a portion of is attic, where they passed the winter as snug as bugs in a rug. The Captain's wife has a warm spot in her heart for birds. So when the ground was covered with snow, and the little fellows ran a risk of starving to death, Mrs. H. would sweep away the snow and spread upon the ground a fine repast of crumbs. The sparrows soon learned , to depend upon her, and told their friends what a fine landlady they had. In consequence hundreds of them congregated daily about the Captain's house and partook of his charity. Close to the spot where the birds were usually fed was a pile of bricks, and upon this pile the Captain's cherished mouser used to station nerself for the purpose of watching for prey. As soon as the birds would get comforta? bly settled about the crumbs the cat would pounce upou them and invariably get a tender sparrow for dinner. Fiually the birds became accustomed to the cat's mode of procedure, and would be on the watch whenever they were feeding. They were so alert that the cat would- hardly get readv for a spring before they were up in the air and out of danger. One day they were eating as usual, aud the cat as usual was watching them. Like a bolt of lightning the mouser jumped into their midst, but they were too quick for her, and escaped unhurt.': Miss Tab? by, not discouraged, mounted the pile of bricks again and awaited their return. The sparrows, after flying about for some time, finally settled upon the fence at the foot of the lot, where they held a long and interesting confab. After chattering away for several minutes, they cautiously returned to their crumbs and resumed their eating, keepiug all the while a sharp lookout for the enemy. After the cat had become satisfied that they were too much interested in satisfying their appetite to think of her, she made an instant, and instead of flying away as usual, they formed themselves into a hollow square and charged upon the foe. Some got upon the cat's back and scratched and picked with all their might; others flew right into her face, while the balance made it interesting in the rear. The cat was so surprised at first that she stood unable to move. The birds became more and more infuriated, and fought such a savage battle that they drove the foe down the garden path on a full gallop and under the barn. They returned to their feast and were left to themselves the balance of the winter, the cat making herse'f scarce when they put in an appearance.?Cleveland (Ohio) Leader._ An-Ugly Case.?Coroner J. T. Ses? sions held an inquest over the body of a young colored woman, Mary Langston, near Graharaville in this. County, on Sunday, the 16th instant, which resulted in a verdict of "death from neglect and abuse." The circumstances, as we have gathered them, are about as follows: Bob Langston, the husband of Mary, employed as a cook by Mr. Joseph Todd, of this place, left his wife with or near Wm. Nixon, whose wife, Eliza, is a sister of Langston. About one month since, Mrs. Langston was confined, and for want of attention, not being able to help her? self, maggots bred on her person. While in this condition, Eliza Nixon beat her about the body and limbs with a slick, signs of which could be seen afSer her death. Her husband declined to visit her or send her any food or clothing, and she died on Saturday, the 15th. Eliza Nixoc was promptly lodged in jail to await investigation at the next term of Court. On Tuesday night last Bob Langston was seized and tied by some of his own race, color and previous condi? tion; who were then about to administer what they pleased to term a decent suit of old-fashioned hickory stripes, when Sheriff Sessions appeared on the scene and ordered his release. We do not favor lynch law, but some of the colored peo? ple seem to thiuk that Bob Langston de? serves the benefit of it, particularly as the statute, as made and provided, cannot reach him in this case. The child, emacia? ted with hunger and neglect, died on the 16th, and was buried with its mother. The colored people of this County have been remarkable for good behavior, and we deeply regret that their general reputa? tion has ben marred by u case of such inhumanity.?Conwayboro Telephone, May How to Raise A Calf.?Let it suck for one or two days, so as to get enough of its mother's milk to physic it. Then take it away from the cow and shut it up in a small pen; or, if the weather is cold, a warm box-stall. Fasten up at a proper height a V trough large enough to hold two gallons. It is no use to of? fer a calf milk until it has fasted twenty four hours. When your calf gets hun? gry you will generally have a little trouble in teaching it to drink in a day or two. For a week or ten days give the calf new milk until it begins to thrive, then sub? stitute warm skim milk, with a little flaxseed tea or oil meal added. Begin with a tablespoonful of the latter, and gradually increase to a gill. When your calf is four weeks old, put a little shelled corn in its trough, and it will soon learn to eat, and when it gets to eating two ears at a meal it will do without the flax seed. By the time it is two months old it will begin to eat fine hay or corn blades, and should be fed regularly in small quantities. If you decrease the milk, add bran and a little oil meal to the shelled corn. I have found a quart of bran and two eare of corn three limes a day a full feed for a calf from three to : six months old, and that would weigh between three and four hundred pounds. A calf raised and wintered the first win? ter in this way will make as good an animal as it would if allowed to run with the cow and suck for the same length of time, and would do better when weaned as the change of diet would not be so radical. A Colorado Spider Story.?A short distance from Buena Vista, says the Lead ville (Col.) Chronicle, is a cave inhabited by spiders which differ from other spi? ders in their enormous size, and are quite useful to the people of that re? gion. The cave was discovered last De? cember by a party of sight seers, and the spiders and their work were wit? nessed. On entering the cave one is first struck by the funny looking webs. They are worked like web3 of other spi? ders, but every fibre is ten times as large as the ones woven by ordinary spiders. On passing further into the cave the spiders are encountered. They are about the size of small birds and make a strange sound while weaving their web. Their webs are so tough and the fibres so large that it is almost an impossibility to break down a web. ? Senator Blaine used to wear an am? ulet, which his dying Roman Catholic mother bad placed around his neck, and which he half seriously spoke of as his protection against evil. Four years ago he was sun~struek on the steps of tno Capitol. He wan carried home uncon? scious and half-undressed. When he came io himself the amulet was gone, and he, in spite of constant efforts, has never been able to recover it. other The birds were up in an 22. The Use of Tobacco. To those who regard us as peculiar in our notions on this subject, and as milk? ing a great ado about a very small matter, we would say, read the following resolu? tion adopted by the United Presbyterian General Assembly, 1870: Resolved, That the use of tobacco is demoralizing in its tendency, and should therefore be discountenanced by all who profess the Christian religion. In 1874, in response to a memorial from the ladies of Monmouth, the As? sembly said: We hail this memorial from the ladies of Monmouth as the harbinger of a bet? ter day, we trust not far distant, when the energies of the Church shall be turned against the use of tobacco, as they are now turned against the use of intox? icating drinks. In addition to this, hear the testimony of the Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanters) as declared at their Synod, which met in New York, May of last year: Inasmuch as tobacco is extensively used throughout society, and in its use a positive evil which manifests itself, (1.) As an injury to pbysicial health. (2.) As an offence to good manners. (3.) As an unnecessary expenditure of money. (4.1 As it is associated with much vice. (5.) As it exerts a demoralizing influ? ence upon the youth. (6.) As it is inconsistent with moral and spiritual purity. Therefore, Resolved, That this Synod condemn all indulgence in the use of tobacco. 2. That we urge our people to abstain from it in every form except as prescribed by competent medical authority, and use all lawful mean3 to eradicate this evil from society. * 3. That Presbyteriaus be hereby ad? vised to license no one to preach the gospel who indulges in the use of tobacco, and sessions be advised not to ordain any officers in the Church who practice this habit for mere carnal gratification. Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.?One hundred years ago not a pound of coal or a cubic foot of illumi? nating gas had been burned iu the coun? try. No iron stoves were used and no contrivances for economizing heat were employed until Dr. Franklin invented the iron-framed fireplace which still bears his name. All the cooking and warming in town, as well as in the coun? try, were done by the aid of afire kindled oii a brick hearth or in the brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow candles furnished the light for the long Winter nights, and sandea floors supplied the place of rugs and carpets. The water used for house? hold purposes was drawn from deep wells by the creaking sweep. No form of pump was used in this country, so far as we can learn, until after the commence? ment of the present century. There were no friction matches in those early days by the aid of which a fire could be easily kindled, and if the fire went out upon the hearth over night, and the tin? der was damp, so that the spark would not catch, the alternative remained of wading through snow a mile or so to borrow a brand of a nighbor. Only one room in any house was warm, unless some member of the family was ill; in all the rest the temperature was at zero during many nights in Winter. The men and women of a hundred years ago undressed and went to their beds in a temperature colder than that of our modern bams and woodsheds, and they uever complained. Tue Language of the Heart.?The loving guardian angel of the more sensi? ble of mankind once appeared before Jupiter and prayed: "Heavenly Father 1 Give thy poor people a better language, for they have words only with which to express how they mourn, how they rejoice, how they love." "Have I not given them the tear," asked Jupiter, "the tear of joy, the tear of sorrow, the tear of love?" The guardian angel answered, "Not even the tears give sufficient expression to the heart. Heavenly Father give thy people a better language when they wish lo say how they feel the infinite longing ?the remembrance of the little morning star of childhood ; the glow of the golden aurora of youth ; and the contemplation, in mature age, of the golden evening clouds of a future life, as they appear bright and high above the vanished sun. "Give me the heart a new language my Father." Just then Jupiter hoard within the realm of spheres the approach of the Music of Song. To her he beckoned and said: "Descend to earth and teach mankind thy language." Then came the Music of Song to us below here and taught us the tones; and Bince then the human heart can speak. ?Jean Paul. Complicated Matrimony.?About three years ago a man living in an ad joiniug county was reported to have been killed by falling from n scaffold. The report was published, and was seen by the man's wife. She donned the usual mourning, and for about a year mourned the loss of the dead. She then began to turn her thoughts rather more to the liv? ing. Two years past she was pravailed upon by a man or this county to become his wife, and the license was issued by the Register of Deeds in this city. A few weeks ago the supposed dead husband turned up in a most unexpected and ab? rupt style, to the dismay of husband num? ber two and the wife. The first husband, after a survey of the situation, made ap? plication for divorce, which was granted. A few days since the socond husband, whoso other marriage was of course ren? dered illegal by the existence of one hus? band at the time the license was issued, came into the city and obtained from Cap? tain White, the Register of Deeds, auoth er license to marry the same woman. It was granted, and there on the same page of the marriage register stands the same names, with an interval of almost exact? ly two years between. Such a case has never occurred in this county before.? Raleigh Observer. A Petrified Body.?Philadelphia, May 16.?Police Officer William Blan ford died on June 11, 1874. The body was placed in the Philantropic Cemetery in Pnssyunk Road. A day or two ago a son of the deceased man had the body disentered, with the object of removing it to another cemetery. Four men took hold of the box in which the coffin was placed, and it required their united strength to lift it to the surface. The box was not decayed, and the coffin in? side wa3 as bright as on the day of the burial. The silver plate was not oven tarnished when the lid was removed. The body was petrified, and in an almost perfect state of preservation. The cloth? ing was somewhat mouldy, and what was once flesh had changed to a hard, stony substance, resembling yellowish marble. The eyes were gone, and the lips had partly disappeared, and there was no hair on the head; but otherwise the body was perfect. Even the whiskers on the chin had turned into stone. The body weighed almost 500 pounds. Mrs. Blan ford died in February last, and was bur? ied near her husband; her body was un? dergoing the natural process of decay. Both bodies were removed to Mount Mo riah Cemetery. ? m - ? ? m ? From the Hun.?There is perhaps no tonic offered to the people that pos? sesses as much real intrinsic value as the Hop Bitters.

A Man 130 Years Old.?A letter from Lafayette, Ind., says: "Trot out your old men; Lafayette bids them al defiance. Residing in the eastern part of this city in Matthew Robinson, a son of the Emeral Isle, who claims that he was born under the reign of George III. ; that his grandfather lived on this mun? dane shpere 145 years. Looking at him to day, one would Bet him down in the nineties, with fair prospect for twenty years more. He insists, however, that he is fully a century and a quarter old; that he took the first boat through the Lockport (N. Y.) locks; that he weut to sea at thirty years of age, and followed that avocation for fifty years ; and for forty-three years he ran on the Erie canal. He lives here with his son, one of our most worthy citizens. The old gentleman is sis feet and over in height, and for eigh? ty years his average weight was 230 pounds, though at present it is less than half that, lie never wore spectacles, never carried a cane or crutch and was never sick." Ax Indian Preacher.?Among the delegates to the Presbyterian General Assembly recently in session in Charles? ton is the Rev. Allen Wright, a full-blood Choctaw Indian, and formerly Chief of the nation. Mr. Wright is a man of ed? ucation and refinement, a graduate of Union College, Schenectady, and of Un? ion Theological Seminary, New York City. He was accompanied, as lay dele? gate, by Elder Milton Brown, of the Choctaw Presbyterian Church, and a noble specimen of physical symmetry and strength. It will be remembered that whilst the Creek and Seminole tribes were divided in the late war the Choc taws were unanimously for the Confede? racy, and had their full regiment in the field, of oue of which Rev. Mr. Wright was chaplain aqd Elder Brown an officer. They are both zealous Christians, and represented an earnest Christian church long since established among a noble people. A Strange Anomaly.?Intemper? ance iu alcoholic beverages is the su? preme curse of this nation. Recognizing this fact, innumerable temperance socie? ties have been organized for the suppres? sion of this evil. And yet the crowning shame and disgrace lies in the fact that an intelligent, civilized, and Christian Government derives the greater part of its revenue from the manufacture of liquor, and every township and city a large part of their revenue from its sale and retail. There is a rule in society, as old as the common law, that whoever partakes of stolen property, or shares in ill-gotten gains, is guilty with the princi? pal. Fines and penalties for drunken? ness are paid from money taken at the bar, and this money is eagerly accepted and appropriated to the uses of those so? cieties which pretend to fight the licensed evil.? Chrktianat Work. What the Colored Race Demands. ?At the Conference of the Colored Meth? odist Episcopal Church in St. Louis la?t week, Dr. Turner, the editor of a news? paper for colored readers, printed at Philadelphia, said in the course of a speech: "The colored man will not be satisfied till he is invited into the parlor instead of the kitchen of the white man, when he is his equal in intelligence and iu wealth. Poverty is not the equal of wealth, nor ignorance the equal of intel ligeuce; but when the poor man grows rich and the ignorant man intelligent, then all barriers to social equality on account of color should give way, and social equality be established between those in wealth and intelligence equal." Dr.* Turner's remarks were loudly ap? plauded. j?A Cleveland lawyer, defending a handsoino young lady charged with lar? ceny, closed his appeal to the jury thus: "Gentlemen! you may hang the ocean on a grape vine to dry, lasso an avalanche, pin a napkin to the mouth of a volcano, skim'the clouds from the sky with a teas^tfon, throw salt on the tail of our inobel" American eagle, whose sleepless eye watches over the welfare of the nation; paste 'for rent' on the moon and stars ; but never for a moment delude your i selves with an idea that this charming [girls is guilty of the charge preferred against her." The jury acquitted her without leaving their seats. ? It is given out as more than proba? ble that in a day or two Governor Hamp? ton will submit a motion for the indefi? nite postponement of the Kellogg case, and that Gen. Gordon will make a grand farewell speech of conciliation and peace. The following Democrats are put down as.likely to vote for the indefinite post? ponement : Hampton, Gordon, Lamar, Butler, Whyte, Groome, Randolph, Ran? som, Jones of Florida, Bayard, Tnurman, Walker, Harris, Pendleton, and also Judge Davis of Illinois. It must not be understood, however, that any of these Senators have authorized any statement to be made as to their intention. ? A boy was stamping some packages at the postoffice in Macon, Ga., when a lady came in who bought a three-cent stamp, and then, turning to the boy, I coolly asked him to run out his tongue. The boy did so, wheu the lady moistened her three-cent stamp on it, applied it to the letter, mailed it and walked off. ? Three-fourths of all the Baptist Churches in the country are in the South. The membership of this denomination in the Southern States is 1,500,000, of whom 909,000 are colored. ? Faith makes a Christian, life proves j him, trials confirm him and death crowns him. There are many who want the crown at the beginning rather than at the end of their journey. ? A citizen of Plymouth, Ind., fired six shots at a supposed burglar, and then his wife called out: "See here, Sam, if you don't stop shooting at me you'll have the house full of neighbors." ? The receipts of cotton at Houston, Texas, this season are 150,446 bales, against 97,246 for the same time last year. ?
