GOOD-BYE, SWEETHEART. -o Sweetheart, good-bye! You proved untrue, And now I'll bid farewell to you. A vision haunts my soul in sorrow, And I think with bitter pain Of the days that ne'er again Will come so bright to you and me, Sweetheart, good-bye ! Good-bye to thee ! , Sweetheart, good-bye ! Since all is past, And this sad parting is to last. When other faces you may meet, And other friends you chance to greet, Give%ut one gentle thought to me, Whose every thought once turned to thee I Who thinks of thee with tear and sigh. Good-bye, sweetheart 1 Sweetheart, good-bye ! THE EMERALDS. One wintry afternoon in January, away up in the bleak attic of a wretched tenement hoi?se, a pale, sad eyed woman sat sewing. The gar? ment upon which she was engaged was a very rich dress. The twilight closed in rapidly, with a blinding tall of snow, a bitter, wailing blast that made the windows rattle in the case? ments. Still the pale-faced woman ? stiched on. "Mother," piped a sweet voice from the cot beneath thc window, "will you get the fine dress done ? Oh, mother, I'm so hungry ! If I only had some tea and a bit of sausage!" She worked on steadily for a time, pausing only to brush a tear from her white cheek, then arose and shook \ out the glimmering robe. "'Tis done at last," 6he said. "Now j mother's little girl can have her I supper; only be patient a little longer, ! Flora. Ross, come, my boy." A manly little fellow carne out from j the bedroom beyond. "The fine dress is done, Ross, and j you must run home with it as fast as | you can. Miss Gracie will be out of patience, I know. Tell her I couldn't j finish it one moment sooner, and ask j her to give you the money. We i must have it to night. And you can j stop at Mr Ray's as you come back j and buy some coal; and we must have ; some bread and tea, and a mite of j butter, and you must get a sausage, I Ross, for poor little Flora." "I'll get them all, mother," he said, j "and be back in time. You shall I have a big sausage, little sis," turning j toward the cot. The girl nodded her curly head and her great wistful eyes sparkled with j delight. I "And you shall have half of it, 1 Ross," she piped, in her splendid bird voice. j "Hadn't you better put on youri thick jacket, my boy?" continued thc ] mother. "The wind cuts like a knife." : "Pshaw ! little mother, I don't j mind the wind," and away he went I down the creaking stairs and out into j the storm. Miss Gracie Fontenay j was in a perfect furore of impatience i and anger. Xler dear 500 friends ; were assembled in the halls below, ! and her handsome dress had net: come home. "What did that beggar! woman mean by disappointing her?" ; At that moment there was a ring at j the door and a voice in the hall. "Picase tell Miss Gracie my mother ! could not finish it sooner; she wants [ the money to-night." Tho servant took the handsome j dress and message. "I'll never give her another stich ! of work," cried the angry beauty. ? "I ought to have had it three hours ago. | II ere, Fanchon, dress me at once- i there's not a minute to lose. No, I ; can't pay to-night; I haven't time, j Ile must call to-morrow." "But we've no fire and nothing to ; eat, and my little sister is sick," j called the boy, pushing up the grand j stairway. "Shut the door, Fanchon com- j manded Miss Gracie. And the door . was shut iu his face. From the porch at the parlor win- j dow Pansie watched the whole scene, j her violet eyes distended with child- ! ish amazement. "Poor little boy," she said, as Ross ! disappeared down the stairway; "Sis-1 ter Gracie ought to pa}' liim. It must j be dreadful to have no fire and nothing 1 to eat." She stood for a moment balancing I herself on the tip of one dainty foot, j her rosebud face grave and reflective; ' then a sudden thought flooded her : blue eyes with sunshine, and snatch- ; ing something from the table she j darted down stairs. The servant had j just closed the street door, but she fluttered past like a humming bird ; and opened it. On the steps sat Ross, brave little j fellow that he was, face in his hands : subbing as if his heart would berak. j " What's the matter, little boy?" i questioned Pansie. Ross looked up, half-believing that ! it was the face of an angel looking i down upon him through the whirling j snow. "Oh, I cannot go home without j the money," he sobbed; "poor mother -, worked hard, and Flora is sick and i so hungry." "Hore," she said, "do take this, j little boy. -and buy her lots of nice ; things. ;Vis worth a good deal; papa ! bought it for my birthday present, , but do you take it and welcome." She extended her dimpled hands, j and something like a shower of stars fell at tiie boy's feet. Ile caught it up in amazement-a necklace of em? eralds, lustrous, gleaming, things, set in tawny Indian gold. "No, no," he cried, ninniug np to where she stood. "1 cannot take th is necklace-take it back " "You shall take it." she com inned, imperiously. "I have lois of line jewelry and fine things-run home now and buy your sister something to eat. She closed the dooi with a bang, and R06S stood irresolute in the stormy gloom. Should he ring the bell and return the jewels to Pansie's father or should ho do as she bade him '( lie thought of his mother and poor little Flora watching \v ist fui.y for his return. Ile conk' not go back and see them starve. With a sudden feeling of desperation he thrust tho glittering necklace in Iiis pocket and dashed down the street. Thc gas light blazed brilliantly in a fashions jewelry establishment, and its bl; proprietor looked down inquirin on lillie Ross as he approached glittering counter. "Would you like to buy this, Sh There was a tremor in the bu voice aa he asked the question, i the hand that held thc emerald ne lace shook visibty. The lapid took the gems, examining them ck ly for a moment, and then shol sharp glance at the child. "See here," he said, presently, voice stern and commanding, want to know how you came by this. The boy;s clear eyes fell; blushed and stammered, eviden embarrassed. The jeweler put as the emeralds and, taking the la arm, led him into a small ante-roc "You are a thief, Sir," lie sa "That necklace belongs to Mr. F< tenay-he bought it of me not month ago. You stole it; you J a thief." The little fellow straightened hi self, and his brown eyes blazed, am no. thief," he retorted. "A lit girl gave it to me, and I know it v wrong to take ir, but-but my motl and sister are starving." "You don't look like a thief," said, "but I will send for Mr. F< tenay; that will settle the matter once." l?e dispatched a messenger accoi iugly, and Ross sat down m a con: and sobbed bitterly as he heard t driving wind and thought of 1 mother and poor little Flora. In h an hour Mr. Fonlena}* came, bringi: his little daughter Pansie with hil The little creature darted toward Rc like a. humming bird, her chee ablaze, her eyes flashing like ligl ning. "Ile didn't steal my emeralds! she cried. "I gave 'em to him to s< 'em, and buy-bread for his little s ter" Ross sprang to his feet, strugglii hard to keep back his tears. Ile p out his little brown hand, whi< Pansie instantly clasped in her chub! palms. "I am not a thief, Sir," he said last, addressing Mr. Fontenay; ' never stole anything in my life, know it was wrong to take the nee lace-but-but, Sir, my little sist is starving." The merchant drew his hands aero his eyes. "?ou're a ma: ly little fellow," 1 said patting the lad's hcatf, "and I c not in the least blame you, but I w take Pansie's emeral .is, and she shs) give you something more availabi llere, Pansie, give this to your lilt' friend." Ile put a gold piece into Pansie hands, which she tendered to Ros with the injunction that he shoul run straight horne and buy lots < ?jgoodies for his sister-a command t was not slow to obey. "I think we shall not lose sight < the little fellow," continued M Fon ic nay, as Ross disappeared in th stormy darkness. "Shall we, pct Let's s^e what we can du to hoi him. lie's a promising young la and au honest one J'tn sure. Mi Lenox, you're in need of an erran boy; wliy not try him ? I wish yo W'Hlld " The jeweler consented, to Pansie' great delight, and on the followin day Ross was duly installed a.* a en and boy iu the fashionable estai lishment. Fifteen years alter, one bluslerin; March morning, a young man sat bc hind the counter of a thriving jewelr; establishment in one of thc Norther cities. Ile was a handsome man, traveler, a man of taste, intellect an< money, for he was a junior partner ii the linn, which was a prosperous one But, despite his good fortune, Ros; Dunbar was not happy. His mothe and his little Flora had gone to the! long home, and he was utterly aloin in the world, without kith or kin Sitting alone one morning, with th< roar of the March winds in his ears his thoughts were running back to thc days of Lis boyhood, to his mother** humble home. How vivid the pas1 seemed, and how dear and sacred despite its privations and sorrows i Iiis eyes grew dim and his' hear! swelled All were gone over the wide waters of time and change. A tender smile softened his sad face a^ he recalled the stormy night when he sat sobbing on the steps of Mr. Fon? tenay's mansion. And little Pansie, the remembrance of her sweet face, as he saw it through the snow*wreaths, haunted him constantly. In all the fifteen years never for one hour had he forgotten her. Rut she was gone -lost to him forever. His reverie was broken by the entrance of a cus? tomer, a lady closely clothed and veiled. She approached the counter with a jewel case in her hand. "Would you buy these?" she asked, simply, in a clear, sweet voice, that stirred the young man's heart as no other woman's voice had power to do. Ile took the casket, opened it, and 6proad out its contents. A watch, an elegant and costly diamond ring, two rubies and an emerald necklace. Koss Dunbar barely suppressed a cry of surprise as his eyes fell upon it. j lie turned it ever with eager, trem I hiing fingers, and there on tho clas^ ! was the name that had lived in his heart for so many years. "Little \ Pansie." j "You wish to sell them all ?" he ! asked, striving to steady his voice ; and the wild throbbing of Iiis heart, j The lady hesitated ;in instant and j then she put out her slender hand and : drew the <. mcralds toward Jn r. I "1 dislike t.D pail with tills," she i said, 4'it was my father's gill-and and-but no matter, take tl.em all, I must have the money." I Jn her eagerness she had thrown ; aside her veil, revealing a lily face, ! lit by lustrous sapphire eyes. Ross j Dunbar stood silent a moment, every ; nerve in his manly form thrii?ng with '. . . delight. He had found her ; ;tt las thc idol of his life. "They arc line gems," he said, I after a moment, "and 1 am willing to ; give yon a fair price-suppose we i say $1,000-will that do?" ? The girl flashed a dazzling glance of surprise from beneath her heavy veil. "So much as that ?" she said trem? ulously. "You are very kind, Sir. Oh, you cannot know how much tin's money will help me." The young man made a polite reply, and proceeded to put aside the jewels and draw a check for the money. The March winds were still bluster? ing without, and the girl shivered and drew her wrapper closer as she started out. "Won't you let me run down lo the bank for you ?" said the jeweler, catching up his hat. "You can play shop lady the while; it won't be but a minute or two-" "But I am troubling you so." "Not a bit; just take the warm scat, please; you'll not be likely to have any ?ustomers. And, seating her beside the desk, he took the check and hurried out. Pansie Fonteuay threw back her veil and leaned her head upon her hands, a puzzled, reflective look upon her sweet, sad face. "Where have I seen this face?" she asked herself over and over again. "It is so familiar; who in the world can it be?" His return broke in upon her medi? tation, and after receiving the money she hurried away to her humble lodg? ings. The following afternoon was even more blustering and stormy; the wind roared and the 'sleet tinkled against the windows of the little room in which Pansie and her lather sat. Severe misfortunes and reverses had reduced them to poverty, and -the old mau being an invalid all the care fell upon Pansie's shoulders. She sat down with her father, leading aloud from a new book which she had bought for him with some of the money received for her jewels, lier sweet face was wau and sad, and her future stretched before her, sad, hopeless and gloomy. There is a ring at the door, and a servant brought up a package for Miss Fon lenay. An exquisite bunch of pansies, fragrant and golden hearted, done up in tissue paper, and attached to them a card, bearing the simple words: "Ross Dunbar has not forgotten little Pansie." Pansie sat amazed for a moment and then a rich bloom darted into her white cheeks. "Oh, father," she said, "? know him! I know him! Oh, we have found Ross ut last." An instant later Ross was in the room clasping her fluttering hands in his, and into her bl ec eyes looked willi a glance that brought the rosy bloom into her face. And a few weeks later, when the blustering winds were over and the golden hearted pansies bloomed on the garden borders, little Pansie become Ross Dunbar's bride, and for her bridal gift he gave her back her string of emeialds. American Ea ce Horses. From the Loudon Field. In the July number of the Quarter? ly Review, published in 1833, Mr. Apperly (alias "Nimrod") ventured upon a startling and daring prophecy. "It is in the New World-that is to say in America"-he remarked, "that racing and the consequent improve? ment of horses are making the most rapid progress; so much so, indeed, as, fruin the excellent choice the Americans make of their stud horses to incline some persons to the opinion that, in the course of half another cen? tury, we shall have to go to the United Slates to replenish our own blood, which must degenerate if that of tho most sound and enduring quality is transported to that coun? try." Fifty years, save two, have elapsed since these words were written, and behold ! the autumn of 18S1 has seen their fulfillment. In each of the last three meetings held at Newmarket this year, Mr. J. R. Keene's magnificent colt Foxhall gave abundant evidence of his quality and excellence by going on crescendo from the First to the Second October Meeting, and finally by setting the seal upon his matchless fame by winning the Cambridgeshire in the Houghton Meeting at an unprece? dented weight. Foxhall is at this moment the best horse in the world. It is to Mr. Keene's colt that Eng? lishmen must look for a sire capable of infusing new vigor and stamina into what must, we fear, be pro? nounced a declining breed of horses; and it would bo a singular climax to Foxhall's unique career if some wealthy English purchaser should in? duce ilr. Keene-which we think little likely-to part with thc grandest horse in existence. When Stonewall Jackson was Frightened. The following anecdote is told by Governor Jackson of West A'irginia: "I recollect asking 'Stonewall,' who was my cousin, if lie had ever been frightened ia war. Ile said yes, once lie had been considerably under a sense of fear, lt was in the City of Mexico. A chest containing :i large sum of mo-j ney had been put in Lieutenant Jack? son"? charge and to bc perfectly secure of it bc ordered it to be carried to bis headquarters, -in an old abbey or con? vent, aud laid down there alone to sleep, a sentinel walking thc corridor i outside. Ile had been there in bcd a j few minutes, wh-.m ho distinctly heard ! something under his bcd, v.'den lifted j it up :ir> if a man w;;s seer* ted there. ' Jackson said he leaped out of bcd and ' drew his sword and examined rho bed J and roon; in vain. Jackson ?lien su p-? posed lie had been possibly dreaming j and resumed his bcd. Just as ho was ? thinking it was all ;i mistake his bed \ lifted again, plainly and with some j force, lie started forth a second time, ; sword i hand, and behold ! nothing j was there. 'This time.' said he, ' s : was scared, indeed, tui my attention ? was called to a shouting outside in the : street, and then ? found that it was an j earthquake passing under the City of ? Mexico that had lifted my hod up and tjiven me such apprehensions " ! The State at Atlanta. Oar Exhibit as described by a YFestern Newspapcr rCorrespondence of the Cincinnati Gazette] South Carolina occupies the area leading from the main building to the railroad exhibits. The natural pro? ducts of the State are arranged in the same manner as are those of the sec? tions of the States that thc railways traverse. On either side as you enter thia department are huge sc-ttious o timber, the live oak, white oak, cy? press, a grapevine, respectable in size even for a forest; tree. There is also a very large exhibit of valuable woods in small billets and in planed surfaces, half the face varnished, the other in its natural state. Special distinction is givcD to the pine, because 'it adminis? ters more to the comfort and neceesities of mankind than any other trees what? ever.' Ramsay, \Q bis history of South Carolina, says; 'There are within its limits 200,000 acres, each of which, on an average, has growing on it fifty piue trees, and every one cf these on an average when brought in a marketable form to tho seaport, would sell for 010. If to these are added the cypress and cedar trees, tbe oaks, ashes, poplars, maples, beeches, magnolias, palmettos, and other com? mon trees in Carolina, which are used in furniture building, as ship timber, and in its various fo-ms by different artists, the sylvan riches of the State will be found to exceed all calcula? tion.' A fanciful tower built of stones more or lees valuable gives a suggestion of the character of the minerals, of the State. Some precious stones are also shown, serpentine, tourmaline, agate and carnelian. The exhibit is specially rich in graph? ite-from which lead pencils arc made -corundum, the origiual form of the emery powder, copper pyrites, hematite i and limonite, feldspattc granite, kaolin, mica and asbestos. A large peice of buhr stone shows clear cut shells in its substance, though taken eighty miles from thc seacoast. This may not seem a singular circumstance to Cincinnati people, though pointed out as surpris? ing by a representative of South Caroli? na. Perhaps thc singular thing is that we cannot make millstones out of the whole substance of Hamilton County. The kaolin, of which many specimens are given from different sections of the State, is some of it as pure as can be found io Saxony, and points to a new industry-the making of fine china -at no distant day. The State has also an inexhaustible j quarry of soapstone, a fine quality of j slate and mica, while of the precious metals, gold and silver, un excellent j authority says that * * thc old English j traders among thc Cherokees were con? fident in the opinion that their hills and mountains were as rich in the precious metals as any part of Mexico or South America.' Some specimens of gold quartz are shown in which the nuggets imbedded seem as pure as if set in the face of the rock by the dentist's hand. The State also shows fine speciuieus of polished granite. There is a very good comparative exhibit of wools, the common grades as well a9 the yield of the fleeces of Span? ish merino and Angora. A good article of sheeting from Ches? ter, the 'Lowell of the South" and other factories, and samples of varieties of cotton includiug the famous Sea Island cotton, with its long silky staple pecu? liar to thc lew sandy islands of the South Carolina and Georgia coast, aud some I ar ?ye shrubs loaded with bursting bolls testify that.thc raising of cotton is still thc great industry of the State. The specimens of the gossypium, or cot? ton plaut, which figure as decorations ! over so tnauy exhibits, arc generally from four to six feet in height, though that growing in the patches in the neigh? borhood can hardly bc reckoned as high on the average as three feet : but in choosing a specimen to illustrate a pro? duct, it is certainly creditable to human nature to choose invariably the best, aud in making a judgment it is quite allowable fo consider the ideal, as so represented. But if you see a bush which bears three or four pounds of picked cotton it does uot follow that every bush will yield that much, any? more than that every spruce tree in thc j forest is symmetrical and - grows can- ' dies and glass balls in December. About Atlanta are cottc fields in which it would break your back to stoop and gather the scanty bolls, and you could never warm it from the yield of one plant, though in some cases it may be only an aftermath that we sec, as the picking usually begins in August Printing paper, leather, mineral paint in powder, sugar-cane, varieties of rice in the kernel and ground, and other cereals, rust proof wheat, oats, corn, wild goose peas, red beans, nuts, broom corn, tobacco, bales of Bermuna grass, apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, aud a second crop of early rose potatoes, | which promise to carry off the prize | adjudged to that tuber, and many less? er articles all iudieate how varied arc the sources of wealth in thc Palmetto State. rilOSPIIATF. KOCK. A separate space is devoted to the phosphate industries of South Carolina. This exhibit is one of thc features of the Exposition. The phosphate rock is described hy Prof. F. S Holmes as 'de? tached masses of Eocene marl, torn off by thc action of waves from the great mass of this formation, and swept in? land over the sandbars, which (as also the great mar! bed) were covered hy thc waters of the ocean, to be deposit- d in those shallow bays and snit, writer lakes j that aro now the phosphatic region of South Carolina. On th'-elevation of thc shore of this continent, thc*c salt water bays or lakes became lagoons, frequent? ed by land animals, whose faeces and re? mains, augmented by these of others transported by various streams into the j same receptacle, were the cause cf thc ! conversion of the carbonate cf lime, j constituting the marl masse?, into the ! highly phosphate character cf the no- ? dular rock which wc minc,' These ! rocks are the basis of the commercial ? fertilizers so largely usod at I he South, j an 1 iri many parts of Kurope, to which i they arc sent at the rate of a shipload a j day. A large map indicates tho soe- : tien of country where this rock is most abundant, ns well as most accessible. The deposes extend from thc head? waters of the Wando River and the eastern branch of the Cooper, more cr less parallel to the coast line, and at a distance from it of from len to forty miles to the headwaters of the Broad River. Those recognized as the richest veins j are ou the Coosaw, the ?disto, and the | Stouo River?. Thc rocks are worked i in the river beds and from laud dopos- ' its. These rocks are nearly two feet j in thick ness, and sometimes constitute ! a fioor of only a few inches thick, and j generally occur comparatively near the ; surface, sometimes croppiug cut of it, j ond at others teo or twenty feet below, [ or even deeper. These greater depths j have not as yet been thought workable, j A. vertical section taken from a bed I shows the composition of soil and rock i as it aciuly occurs in these beds. It is j shaved down as smooth as a wall, and i censista of the soil upon which tufts of j grass arc yet growing, the subsoil, then ! a thin layer of clay, then of sand, a j seam cf the phosphate rock fifteen inch- i cs in depth, and lower still, the marl, j The inclosing frame indicates thc char- ; actor of tho layers, though it is hardly j necessary, so marked are the lines div!- j ding thc strata. This rock is full of j fossils and animal remains more or less petrified ; and thc strange thing about ! it is that the hones of lung extinct ani* i mais are found together with those of j animals now existing; also, that thc; teeth and bones of marine animals and j land aninjals are mingled indiscriminate- j ly, those of the elephant and horse, j deer, cow, thc mastodon and uiegatheri- j um, rhinoceros, with thc bones of sharks j and whales and extinct saurians and ? marine shells. There are cases Siled | with sharks' teeth, some of them manv times the size of the tooth of any shark tiow known ; those of the mastodon and of thc elephant, as well as several well preserved car bones and portions of the vertebra* of monsters as easy to identi? fy as the ulna and radius of a man's arm. Hanging over thc cases you can j think backwards and figure to yourself I thc mastodon, then extinct in Europe, still flourishing herc and contending with the elephant long extinct in this country, and yet iu the land of the liv? ing in Asia. Then there is the horse, which the old geographies taught came from Arabia, prancing about in this old Quartern a ry mud. And upon an un? commonly large tooth of some sea mon? ster a good for nothing every day clam fastened his shell. This promiscuous huddling of land monsters and sea mon? sters, and creatures of various times, can only be explained by the theory of vast convulsions on thc surface of the earth and a tremendous swashing of tho waters which cover it. And to what base uses have they come at last. Ground up as phosphate of lime, they are thrown upon the barren or worn out land to start again in the cover ending cyle of life and decay. Upon the walls are photographs of the principal works where these rocks are treated ; some of the machinerv used in the various processes by which the crude rock is crushed is also shown, and ranged about are jars of substances i which uro added to give it greater efli- j ciency-fish scales, dried blood, ground I to powder, from South America ; azo- j tiue, dead flesh ground ; sulphur from j Sicily, ?fee, together with the rock at different stages cf its reduction to pow? der. All the processes and all the in? terests involved are very courteously explained by the gentlemen in charge, and it is evident that the exhibit is of profound interest to intelligent visitors from ali parts cf the country. Very few ladies, however, linger iu this region, perhaps because it is after all a sort of charnel house. Pick up two pieces of rock and rub them brisk? ly together and a 'most ancient and fishlike smell' that nothing but a vul? ture or a very scientific man would tol? erate, drives one straight beyond the confines of rocks and hones and baked blood. " _ The Enormous Cost of Prose- J cuting Gultsau. HEAVY DOCTORS' BILLS. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-lt is thought that the Giteau trial will not. las* much more than two weeks longer. The end is so near that some sort of estimate can be made of the exnensc. It will reach enormous figures. The cost.- of the pro- j secution, not including witness fees, will amount to nearly ?100,000, and the fees of witnesses oe both sides, which the Government pays for, will probably be nearly as much more. Some of the experts have charged very high, though thc figures arc not known. In this relation another item of expense caused by thc assassination may bc mentioned. It is understood j that Dr. Agnew's bill por medical I attendance and services is &.32.?00, one item being ?,5.000 for thc first opera- j tion he made last summer.
