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)

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.

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.

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.?

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.

A Man 130 Years Old.?A letter
from Lafayette, Ind., says: "Trot out
your old men; Lafayette bids them al

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

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

ty years his average weight was 230

half that, lie never wore spectacles,

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?

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

against her." The jury acquitted her
without leaving their seats.
