On his arrival it was rumored that he had come to secure the arrest, of his predecessor, Chamberlain; that his mission was <>[ a political nature; that he was Id visit old friends; that he. wanted to capture Niles G. I'u ike r, one of iho South Carolina ring, who how resides in Newark, and so on. The fact is that Governor Ifampt in eaihe here to raise money for the treasury of South Carolina. The. Legislature which assembled soon alter his installation empowered him, should he deem it necessary, to bor row $1,00,060 on the credit ol the : late, the sum to housed for the pay ment of the interest on the Stale debt. This loan was necessary because of the non-payment of State taxes pend ing the settlement of the Gubernator ial troubles. In Governor Ilampion's search for an accommodating capitalist, he has given it to be understood that his own people have olli-rcd to lend the Slate iho niouey, but. they asked loo high a rale of interest, a id so ho came to this city in the hope of placing the I. ?an at four or live per cent. Small a j is the sum asked, and despite the [.'edge <?( the ere.lit. of Oh ! of the. Original thirteen Scales, Governor II. iu plOii Iwwi It mi.i.l '.l.al l>.

ITc has spent inueb of his time in Wallstreet, an.I told a friend, recently, that lie had expected to negotiate the loan among his personal acquaintances. Iiis Attorney-General, .Mr. James I'onner, who is at the. New York Hotel, has been ill for several days, aiid has, therefore, been of S?u?l ser vice in the difficult ncgotiati >:is. A Sun reporter, in searching for hi formation 0:1 this subject, fell in with a hohler of the bonds of Soli lb Carolina. "Look here/'said he, pro ducing a large package of these securities ami laying one of them be fore tin; reporter, "here is a ?? 1,00 ) bond of the Stale of South Carolina. As you see, it was issued in accord ance with an ael oftho legislature of the State, quoted on the face; it ia signed by the Governor of the Stale, countersigned by the Trca inv.r of I he Siate, stamped with the great so:1.! of the Stale, duly numbered; and you Mr that the faith, credit and funds of the Stale are by this boiidits-dfpledg ed for the payment of the interest and the redempti m of the principal. These bonds were sold in this market by the authorized and accredited agent, of i he Stale ( Cherubic K imp ton,) from whom 1 myself pure ha.-ed them. Now, sir, when, alter these things yon find that these boh Is are lb-day worthless, how can any man in this street where the villi lily of a contract and the honor of a signature are the supreme law, regard any other pledges that may be made by the government, of South Carolina. The Governor whose signature is at I ached to this bond, is to-day an ad herent ami upholder of Wade Hamp ton. The same is to bo said of the Stale Treasurer whose name adjoins the Governor's, and many members of flic Legislature who passed the act autlioi'uiiig their issue are to-day members of Governor Hampton's Legislature. Yet this bond aud those bonds are worthless. "But Iben wcro not these bond.--, issued by a fraudulent Stale govern ment," asked the Sun reporter? No, by the legal government of the Slate; recognized as euch by lite .vliole population, which obeyed it paid laxes to it and enjoyed the rights of citizenship under it. I know very well (hat it is said that these bonds were issued by corruptionist'}, and the proceeds uf them stolen by plunder ers. But louk ho.'-e again, said the holder ofSouth Carolina bonds t) the Sun reporter : Here is a bond of the city of New York, issued (luring the rcigii of the Tweed ring corruption ists, under the signature of Richard B. Connelly, the proceeds of which were stolen by Tweed iind his fcllow plunderer.s, yet the g iverniuctlt of tb c cit y of Now York does not on the r.e couol perpetrate the infamy of re pudiating this hond, or do me its pos sessor the wrong ol' holding me re sponsible for the e rim us of its author ized agent, and this is pro.uninc; illy ti nt; in the realm of credit tuul.fiu ance When a man or Stale dishon ors his or its pecuniary pledgee un ler any pretext, beware ol* any further promises from the same source. Mil lions of dollars worth of these South Carolina hond-; for which the State drew the money from this city and (ram small investor.-, here have been repudiated. Governor Hampton und his ] jogislaturo cannot issti s an/ boa d s that have a higher technical legality than Llicse South Carolina bonds now in your hand, an I I know not how soon his pledges may be repu Hated by his suc.ecs.sor, us he himself as re puditcd the pledges of his predecess ors. Bui. wore not these bonds gobbled up by a ring of Wall street specula tors?asked the Sun reporter ? I must tell you my young friend , what a terrible wrong Io many men is involved in the suggestion of your ?pic linn; why, sir, the veteran and accomplished author and editor, Charles F. I.Jriggs; who die 1 hut a few day a iigO'lirtitiia' iAvy\ I rail |ntu i-?o ,. qcqds of half tt century of industry :ii <l economy into these repudiated*,. South Carolina bonds, ah I when they were dishonored the veteran was plunged into financial ruin; and wurde still lie left his widow and orphans without that lilt'e fortune which it had been his pride to accumulate. Ask the unfortunate Charles II.; Webb, ask the broken down, Mr. M-auk, when, you yourself know, if iL is fair to class them among the sp.'ou-: I a tors, who havo grown rich on the bomls of South Carolina. Look at myself, ill able to stand the loss I hive suffered by that State. Scores of men of limited means put their money into these bonds, when the State offered them in this market, nnd many of them have been utterly ruined as a consequence of trusting in its good faith; they arc absolutely worthless, although I believe they have been rjuotcd within a lew months at I or 2 per cent, on the dollar. Why only ib;-day, when ;i dead beat came to nie to procure a loan of the wherewithal to purchase his dinner, 1 gave him h;8 choice between twenty-five cents, which was all the change I hail in niy pocket, ami one ol these $1,000 bonds. Mo took the twenty-live, cents, saying it was worth a sackful of such bonds. Now, sir, when South Caio liniaiH conic into I .is market again, to borrow money on the. faith, credit and honoi of their Slate, 1 can but shake the bomls in their face, as a proof of what faith and credit arc worth to sinne very pretentious citi zens not. of African descent. The Sun reporter had by this time heard enough about the grievances of the unhappy holders of the conversion bonds of South Carol inn.

Wc thought, says Llic Burlington Ttaickc.ye, from the way he came into tiro oflico and slain hied his cane down on the table and took the best chair and spat on the stove and said, "Well, Cully, how docs the old thing work?" that he was a circus agent, out bis card showed him to be a modest, unpretending advertising agent of a Wisconsin paper. He had just come from Chicago, he said. Wo said, "Ah !" hot because there, was' an) particular brilliancy in the remark, but because that is what we generally say, with a rising accent on the final syllable, when a man tells us ho has been to Chicago. "Yes," he said; he had been to Chicago. "Had wc a man up there?" "No," we hadn't. '?Well," he said, ' don't send one there. Just a waste of time. I've been there nearly three weeks, and 1 just club myself every time I think what a fool I was to throw away so much time that I might have put in somewhere else to advantage." "Didn't he do anything in Chica go?" we asked, rather timidly, for wo began to see wc were in the pre sence of a Master Mind. "Naw-w-w!" he snarled, in a most contemptuous tone; "hardly made expense5; didn't pay salary. There three weeks, und only come away with $3,7b'0 worth of ads. All cash, ofy, course, and that makes it a little, better, but didn't pay for all that time. How much Cliicago advertis ing are you carrying ?" VWc couldn't tell him indeed, with out consulting the business manager, but we wire confident that the ttyckc.gti had, a', inside figures, at least, three or four dollars' worth of u4vr' vJnrrev^r, nrltrnrf i xtytnanfc?. We began to tlunk what, a jewel this man iinust be on the business /luff of a daily paper. W.s he going to St. Louis '? we asked. He burst i 11L? a sort of derisive laughter, for all the world like the opposition benches in Congress. "Been there," he said, "and ain't going back until times pick up a little. Deadest place you ever struck in your life. Nothing doing. Just nothing. Why, I was there ten days ? ten whole long days, as I'm a truth ful man; and only got?let me sec? I'll give you the figures. And he pulled out his no'c-book fand ran over the leaves and down long columns of figures. "Yes, sir, I was in St. Louis ten days to an hour, and only got $4,227.50; and $1,896.7?? I have to take in trade,'and only $2, lo() cash-i n-advancc ads. Don't you send a man t o St. Louis, if you don't want to pay his fare home." " Which way was iic going from Burlington ':" we asked, deeply im - pressed. "O, out along the line of the B. and M.," he said, "out to Omaha, and maybe out to Lincoln and up to Des Moines." "Now, don't go there," wc begged him; "don't go out that way at all. It won't, pay you; we know this country, and we know you won't make a cent on this trip." "Why not ?" he asked, defiantly, and in a. rather incredulous tone of countenance. 'f Because," we said, "the 1 laic key c had a man all through that country one day last w eek. It may appear incredible, but, sir, that man was gone fifteen minutes, and came back with only $72,000 cash ads, a couple of national banks, six Nebraska farms, a Kansas cattle itinche, and the Iowa State Treasury, and the captain discharged him for not mak ing his wages. It's as dead as-" But ho was gone, and we heard him down stairs asking the business manager if he thought it was ncccss ary to import a thoroughbred liar to edit his paper. -?in irn> . - ? - Postage stamps cost a cent a hund red to make.

A correspondent writing to the Atlanta Constitution, from Gaines ville, during the recent session of the Baptist Stale Convention, reported as follows: Tlev. J. J). Hart well, missionary to China, on .Saturday, related to the Convention, a touching incident. While in South Carolina, recently he. was engaged in collecting funds for the benefit of foreign missions, and met with sonic Christians who made great sacrifices to aid the cause. A Baptist preacher donated a line hymn book, stating, that be wished to help the cause, but had no money, and he gave his hymn book that it might be sold and the proceeds given to the missionary fund. In the same Stale Mr. Ilhrtwcll vidi ted an old widow lady. After talking to her some time about missionary work, without n thought ol asking a con tribution from her, she went out of the room a moment and rcLtrned with a pearl card case wrapped in an old handkerchief, and told the mis sionary that it was a treasure which had belonged to her daughter, long since dead, and she had clung to it, as a precious memorial, hut she felt that she must give something io Christ's cause, and she begged the missionary to take it and s 11 it to somebody for what, he could, and to send the 11101103 to spread the gospel to China. With her daughter's card case she placed another of her own, a souvenir ? f h. r happy youth. Mr. Hart well showed hot'i^ eases to the convention, and asked if he could liiid a purchaser. Mr. James if. Low, of Atlanta, immediately gave 6-3 for the two, inking the old handkerchief loo. lie immediately put them in a I'acknu'^-und .sent U\om vritW -iUni-g?.. paid, to the noble old woman who bad made such ii sacrilicc for the gos pel of Christ. Who knows the pain of that sacrifice to her, in spite of the consolation whi:di must have conic to j her when .-he thought of'.lie cause in which she made it? And who can \ ti ll of the joy she now feels when she receives' again, from the hands of a good, teiidcr-hcartcJ man, her lost treasure, redeemed and mad, more precious by one bitter sacrifice. Ttic hymn book was sohl at once for i?0, and given back to he sold again. It brought another $5, and was again given back. It may prove a fruitful source ol'revenue, if future purchasers have the liberality of those at the convention. Hidden and Safe. One morning a teacher went, as usual to the school-room, and found many vacant seats. Two little schol ars lay at their homes cold in death , j and others were very sick. A fatal di case bad entered the village, and j the few children present that morn I ing at school, gathered around the teacher and said : 'Oh, what shall we do ? Do you think wc shall be sick and ilio too?' She gently touched the bell as a signal for silence, and observed : 'Children yon are all afraid of this terrible disease. You mourntbo death of our dear little friend::; and you fear that you may be taken also. I only know of otic way of escape, and that is to hide.' The children were bewildered, and the teacher went on : '1 will read you about this hiding place;' and read Psalm xci: 'Whoso dwellclh under the defence of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.' AH were hushed and composed by the sweet words of the Psalmist, and the morning lesson went on as usual. At noon a dear little girl sidled up to the desk and said : 'Teacher, arc you not afraid of the diptheria ?' 'iSro, my child,' was the reply. 'Well, wouldn't you be if you thought you would bo sick and die?' 'No, my dear, I trust not.'' Looking at the teacher a moment with wondering eyes, her face lighted ns she said : 'Oh, I know! you arc hidden under God's wings. What a nieo place to hide !' Yes, this is the only hidirig-placo (or old, for young, for rieh, for poor? all. Do any of you know of a safer or a hotter V?Dr. Norton. A Legend About Coffee. There is a legend about coffee?a legend in which a pious Mussulman is the hero. The Mussulman used to get sleepy during his devotions, ami so he prayed to Muhammcd, who eame to his aid. Mohammed sent him for advice a goat-herd, who took a hint from his goats, lie observed that when these animals ate berries of* I a particular tree they got frisky ami excited?bounded about all thenight,. in fact. The Mussulman touk the bint, j ate the coffee berries, slept less, and no doubt prayed belter. That was ihe legend. That eofreo,' t however, was sold in the streets of-.?? Gario toward the end of the sixteenth... century is not a matter of legend, but history. In fact, it was not only sqUl, but it was forbidden to besohl. An ? Arabian historian recounts that in tha?r <? .utvf year 15:18 a cafe was attacked by the authorities, and the customers who were found on the spot hurried oll'to'" prison, from which they werojtofc'-1' liberated till they had each received;'; seventeen strokes with a stick, ibr^ encouragement of others.
