He wm en ok! nno, hie hair white and
Uiln. He had been nick tor some time
pest at the M Hotel. The company
Would occasionally drop lu to *ec how
the poor old fellow thrived and minuter
to his wants si well as they could.
A drusling /tin was falling in the
lamplit street below'. The fire of the
grate played with a ghastly effort upon
the old man's emaciated face, and he
tossed his head rcirieesly upon his pillow.
Two ladies of the company sat by the
bed—one with fair hands smoothed the
tangled grey hair from his damp brow.
The silence in the room was really
oppressive. Nothing could he heard,
but the low ticking oi the clock on the
mantle, and the pattering of the rain on
the window without.
v The door opened noiselessly, and the
physician entered. All made way for
_thc man of science. How eagerly they
watched him os lie felt the invalid's pulse.
The fair-haired soubretto was the first to
break of silence.
“ Doctor, is there any hope ? ”
The physician slowly shook his head
ae ho tenderly dropped the poor thin
hand, and softly said : «
44 The end is very near."
Tea minutes passed—twenty. The
sufferer was very quiet. A gamin in the
street below called loudly to a companion.
The old tu*n suddenly opened his eyes
nnd distinctly said in an authoritative
voice s
“ Half hour—halt hour ! ”
All was quiet again. The company
in the room seemed awed by the presence
of death, and reverently bowed theii
heads, waiting mutely for the end.
Some one below stairs opened a door,
and the soft notes of a piaflo were
distinctly heard in the room. The old
promoter roused himself from his stupor
and clearly called: ;
“ Overture—all down to begin 1 ”
Then they understood him, pc or old
man. Actors and actresses look into
each other’s faces, and truly roslized that
the ruling passion was indeed strong
oreu in death. In his last moments his
heart wu with his beloved profession,
Ah Talas! it wss his life drama, and he
was in the lest scene of the Inst act.
From this moment he began to sink
rapidly. The friends gathered' closer
Around the bedside with a sob, turned
away. It seemed to rouse him. He
feebly said:
u ibverybody ready to end act 1 ”
A teAible p,lienees come over his
face, dast rings formed around his eyes.
It ism tflwf hMtly hue of death. He did
cot move. They thought he had passed
•way, he wu so quiet and motionless.
The doctor leaned . over softly and
listened. The load tacking of the clock
grated harshly on their ears, but no one
moved. The door of the parlo* below
opened and again the toft notes of the
piano could be heard. At this instant
the clock upon the mantle struck one.
His dim eyes brightenod for a moment.
The old look of Intelligence stole ever his
wan face. The physician stooped to
catch the feeble whispered svntenee ;
14 Bing down—the drama i« over l ”
The fair-haired girl silently closed his
eightless eyes, and thus, like a plaintive
melody, the old prompter’s U& pasaed
away.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Last Armed Sel.iUer.
A men who hod the appearance of
having just awakened from a sleep of
twelve or fiftMn years, arrived in the
city last week, on his way South. He
claims to be a native of Georgia, to
have been a Confederate soldier of the
late war, and since the close of hostilities
to have lived in Massachusetts. His
clothes were ragged in the extreme, and
looked as though the pieces had hardly
strength to hold together. The stranger
earned with him the musket he had borne
through tlm war, rusty and time-worn,
and on his bock and side were strapped
bis knapsack and cartridge-box. He
•ays he is the last armed soldier of the
Confederacy, and that ho is now tramping
from 1 Massachusetts to bis old home in
Georgia, which he has not seen for
many s year. Though his naked skin
could be scew in many places through his
ragged clothing, and his soiled beard
readied down to 1 his waist,- the man—
by his conversation—exhibits great
intelligence. He walked yesterday from
Richmond to Petersburg, and left in the
afternoon, after having received pecuniary
assistance from several citizens, on his
walk to Weldon.—Petersburg Index.

There are ntd to be seventy cigar
factories in Florida, all making imported
Havana cigars, which are considered very

Columbia wants a street rsHrotef.
The exodus excitement has raised the
price of cotton. So far, tlm South is
not injured and the North fails to bo
benefited. 1
Canada is suffering from the hard
times, and emigration into the States,
especially the Northwest, is going on at
an unprecedented rate.
Rabun county, Georgia, boasts of a
monstrosity, the like of which has never
before been heard of in that district. It
is three years of age, and it is difficult to
tell whether it is man or devil.
Secretary McCrary, whom the
Prerdent has or will nominate for
Federal Judge, will hardly be confirmed
by the Senate. He is too rampant in
his views concerning the use of the army
at the polls.
There is a young Indy in Wilkes
county, Georgia, who was born blind,
and who, it is said, can instantly detect
color by the touch. When a child, she
could tell the name and color of her pet
eats and chickens by simply laying her
hand upon them.
With the view of pleating all paitics,

* New York brides arc said to be
complaining that they receive too many
presents that look as if they emanated
from the Decorative Art Society, and

The Galveston News says the fact is
admitted all around that emigration to
Texas, if not coming to an abrupt close,

Real estate in Texas has depreciated in

An interview in Washington with a
politician of note nnd a near friend of
L oth the President and Secretary Sherman
coi'tnins some second term talk in behalf
of President Hayes, the upshot of which
is that while ho will not manipulate or
work for it,he could accept a renominatiou
without any violation of a promise.
Henry Watterson says that Gov.
Heudricks lute no more chance of the
Presidency, except upon the ticket with
Mr. Tildan, than ha has. Of all men,
his nominatioD by • National Democratic
Convention is impossible. While Mr.
Tilden lives, Governor Hendricks has no
political entity, and represents no partisan
quantity, save as Mr. Tilden’s prehensile,
or appendage.
The Virginia colored State convention
perfected a plan of organization
throughout the State, and adopted a
report seltiog forth the grievances of the
colored people, The plan of organization
!contemplates a “Captain-General” for
th« State, chiefs of districts and heads
of county organizations. The convention
endorsed General Grant for the next
Presidency.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says
i that while in Brooklyn, Gov. Colquitt
consented one afternoon to preach in
: Beecher’s pulpit. The Governor, it
'appears, did not take into consideration
that his appearance in the pulpit would
bo deemed a recognition of Henry Ward
Beecher, and might make the South a
little hotter for him on his return home,
so that, after thinking over the matter
for twenty-four hours, he backed out.
Tim declared intention of Conway to
proceed with chartered boats to remove
tho m groes from the Mississippi valley
under tbc alleged advice and promised
protection of tbc President creates much
indignation among the members of the
Mississippi and Louisiana delegations.
Several of them have called on the
President since the publication of the
Conway interview, and protested against
the use of the President’s name in the
matter. Tho President assured them
that he had not advised Conway to make
any such movement.
In a little more than a month now
tho Grant Hippodrome will have to be
on ife way to California, if it expects to
preform all that it U advertised to do.
Having an impulsive idea that the whole
country would rise up and go to receive
Grant, the managers of the affair Kmitcd
the number to be accommodated to four
thousand. It is beginning to dawn
upou the third-term intellect, however,
that nothing like four thousand people
hsvo any idea of paying a hundred and
fifty dollars, exclusive of hotel bills, for
the privilege of going three thousand
miles in the heat of snmmcr to see the
ex-President land again on his native
•bore. It requires a large amount of
patriotism to turn one’s pocket inside
oat ia that way ; it is vtry doubtful if
there is a prevalence of such patriotism
outside of the noble boat of office holders,
and they have another kind of allegiance
on hand at present.
