MY SECOND LOVZ.
WW S. Faria.
I hava a confession to make, my wife;
I hare fallen in love again,
And think the young lady returns' my lovel
Oh, ain't I the wont of meuf
She is younger than yon, this new found
lore.
And her cheek is softer, I ween ;
Her hair is fairer than threads of gold,
And her feet are the smallest I've seen!
She love me, I think (though she says not so);
For she smiles when she sees my face,
And often rests in my arms content, ,
While I hold her in close embrace. '
I lore her truly as man e'er loved;
I miss her what time she's away;
And the smile with which she bade me good
bye, It blesses me through the day.
And now, my precious, confess the truth.
Cornel Say yon are jealous, dot
Before I tell you my two true loves
Are my baby Belle and you.
THE DYINQ ALLIGATOR.
AfTectlux Scene at the Gravel Side of
the Sufferer. -
Arkansaw Traveler.
The alligator that was sent from Florida to
the editor of this paper is dead. After life's
'' fitful- fever, he sleeps as well as circumstances
will admit. The gentleness and persuasion of
man have thus far failed to place an alligator
on a social basis. In this world of selfishness
the alligator has selected his own course and
desires to scramble for himself. The glass
tank, with a bed of gravel where the reptile
could crawl out and sun himself, was looked
on, not in the light of a great favor, but as a
matter of course. There never was, in either
one of his eyes, a single gleam of thankful
' ness. His tank was shared passively
with a brother that came in the

never passed between these descendants
from a parent stem a single sign
of recognition nor a word of kindly greeting.
They would sometimes, in a kind of dreamy
- forge tfulness, bump their noses together, but
they would immediately turn away, without
a change of countenance and fall into deep
reverie.
Tennyson, the one whose cold claws are
now folded in death, seemed to be in averag
health until a few moments before the sum
mons came. He had taken a bath and was
lying on the gravel, when bis keeper noted a
- change of countenance. Revolution of ex
pression, with an alligator, has ever been re-
- garded as a precursor of coming dissolution.
The owner was summoned to the gravel-side
of the sufferer. He seemed to be suffering
with meningitis, for his head was bent
like a bull-tongue plow, and cor Js hitherto
unobserved arose to the surface of bis
neck, so tightly drawn that they almost
cut through the rough hide. He opened one
eye and closed it slowly. A Florida man who
stood near the tank shoDk his bead om
inously, and an old Florida dog that had
doubtless gone through many narrow es
capes, walked off to one side and shook with
laughter.
Tennyson reached out one claw and began
to feel around. He then extended his hind
legs, braced himself and slowly turned and
lay on his back. The old dog, observing this
movement, walked away again and laughed
in retributive chuckle. The sufferer lay for
a time, breathing at long intervals, and then
turning, he raised upon his elbows, looked at
the sun and fell back dead. This provad
that ha was a sun-worshiper and con
sequently settles a question which has Ion j
been in dispute, Herbert Spencer holding
that alligators worship the moon with the
morning star as a delegate and the north
star as a alternate.
Alloa Account or a Buzzard.
Georgia Letter to 3Tew York Worii
The belled buzzard, whose flight over west
era counties of Georgia has aroused so much
superstitious fear among the ignorant whites
and blacks, passed over a field recently where
four men were plowing. One of them, a
negro, quit work at once, and said the bird
was warning the people of another cyclone
by w hich hundreds of people would be killed.
The story of the celebrated bird is an inter
esting one. Nearly two years ago it was a
pet in a barn-yard of a farmer named Free
man, in Paulding county. One of his children
one day attached a sheep bell to the bird's
foot and the tinkling sound; so scared it that
it immediately flew away. The first night
out it alighted on the roof of a negro cabin
in Herd county. One of - the inmates went
out to ascertain the cause of the bell ringing,
and immediately the buzzard rose from its
perch and flew away. The night was clear
and cold, and as the inmates rushed out and
beheld a great black object and heard the
tinkling of the bell hundreds of feet in the
air, great fear seized them. They all took to
their knees under the impression tbat the end
of the world was at band. Ever since then
the bird has pursued its mig.-atious way
through the state, arousing the fears of the
superstitious, who regard its visits as omens
of evil. The negroes and many whites, too,
along the track of the late s$orm, insist that
they heard the fatefnl bell before the terrible
rath of the wind bad come upon them.
Jesting; at the Thunderei-' Grief.
St James' Gazette.
In its sorrow for the lamented Prince Leo
pold The Times seems to have become abso
lutely incoherent. "The ancients said" (as
The Times would observe) that trifling griefs
speak, while deeper ones are mute. The
Times has not exactly bacome mute; but it
does the next best thing, and is as inarticu
late as one can reasonably expect. The
reader may find some distraction for bis sor
row in wondering what is meant when we
hear that "the peculiar distinction" of the
"entombment" was "the presence beside the
heraldic show of a spontaneous tender grief,"
or how a "center of longing love" could "turn
a gorgeous ceremonial into a simple acces
sory." The writer's intention is unquestionably
excellent, and no doubt there is real loyalty
in the sentence which refers, as far as we can
make out, to the nation and the life of her
most gracious majesty: "If they could hare
been given the choice of what sort it was to
be, they would have chosen it to be what it
baa been." The sentiment is excellent which
inspires the remark tbat "to be followed to
the grave by the sympathetic lamentations
of a whole community belongs to the rela
tion of constitutional royalty to the nation
which impersonates itself in its dynasty;"
though we could wish that it had been
coached in language less like that of the
Bengalee baboo making his first essay in the
English tongue. The Times ought really to
have avoided writing on a subject liLe this
in a style that makes its readers laugh. j
Touching; Jay Goulds Heart.
fNew York Times. 1
A little black-bearded man was walking
briskly up Broadway, yesterday afternoon,
when a shivering tramp, who had been loi
tering in front of Trinity church stepped in
front of him and said something in a low
tone. The little man made no reply, but
stepped to one side and continued his journey
up-town The beggar slouched after him,
and said in a louder tone than before:
"Please, cap, gi' me a few cents for a bowl of
oup."
Even to this appeal the little man paid no
attention, and would doubtless have succeeded
in escaping from the importunate tramp had
he not been stopped by a friend who engaged
him in conversation. The beggar crowded
up as closely as possible to the two men and
began a pitiful tale of distress. He was
heard to say: "And everything I possessed
went in Wall street. Jay Gould and those
fellows got it" The little black-bearded
man's hand went quickly down in his pocket
and brought out a coin, which was placed on
the dirty palm of the mendicant, with the
words, "There, now go away, please." The
fellow shuffled away, evidently without
knowing tbat the little man who gave him
the money was Jay Gould himself. The other
gentleman was Cyrus W. Field.
THE SENATE SESTAUSAST.
.Senators , Who Kat Crackers and
aiilk Only Two Teetotalers In the
Upper House.
AVashington Cor. Troy Times.
The senate restaurant has become the club
room of the capitol. With a colored man in
charge, the senators now get the best cooking
and attendance in town. Representatives go
over there to luncb, and senators boast of it
outside. I was talking with John Francis
the other day. He is the colored man to
whom Mr. Edmunds gave the restaurant,
with $6,000 or $7,000 a year. "Do the sena
tors generally spend much money with youf
t asked him. "No," he went on, "as a rule,
ihey coma down here and eat crackers and
milk. My milk is most all cream, and they
like it Most of them are here each day, al
though a few hava their lunch sent to a committee-room.
Senator 2orrill always eats
crackers and milk ; so do Senators Hoar and
Tngalls. Mr. Piatt always drinks tea. Sena
tor Vest likes to stand up to the oyster counter
and take a dozen on the shell, with some ale.
Perry Belmont is often here eating raw
oysters. Gon. Logan is very abstemious. Mr.
Aldrich generally eats a steak. But the best
of our custom is from the outsiders. They
eat more and higher-priced dinners than the
senators.
"Generous? Well, not many cf them. They
do not come down to the waiters very hand
somely. The poorest men are the most
liberal. Mr. Frye is kiud, and always has a
pleasant word for the waiters; bo does Mr.
Garland. Governor Vance has his pockets
full of dimes, and throws them out liberally.
Gen. Logan, when he feels good, is liberal,
but the tips generally come more from out
siders than senators." A large closet full of
brandy and wines stands invitingly in plain
view, notwithstanding the new rule that no
intoxicating b'quors shall be allowed. They
are sold to any one who calls, but Mr. Blair's
wild remark that the restaurant is "the
national groggey " was a good way from
the truth. Very few senators drink to excess.
Some of them have a bottle or two in their
committee-rooms. Mr. Hale entertains his
friends occasionally with wine spreads.
Pendleton always has some cham
pagne and makes a point to hand
it around freely when the Demo
cratic caucus meets, be being chairman. Up
in the back-room of the senate committee on
printing, Mr. Anthony has something in
store. You will often see him and Mr. Ed
munds coming from there with a pleased ex
pression. Judge Thurman was Mr. Ed
munds' companion of old. When they went
out together the senate blinked sympathetic
ally. Don Cameron invariably took wine with
his nice little lunch, served daintily in his
private room. "Frye and Blair are the only
teetotalers in the upper house. But drunk
enness is never seen in these days. It is in
"bad form." Ten years ago wine-bibbing
was very common. The tendency is growing;
better. Newspapers and the sharp public
opinion against much drinking are doing
their perfect work. In the senate to-day
there is not a man who can be termed a
hard drinker to the detriment of his public
duties.
Origin of the Postofflre.
English Illustrated Magazine.
The postofSce is an example of the mode
in which things change while names remain.
It was originally the offije which arranged
the poets, or places at which, on the great
roads, relays of horses and men could be ob
tained for the rapid forwarding of govern
ment dispatches. There was a chief post
master of England many years before any
system of conveyance of private letters by
the crown was established. Suchi?rs
were conveyed either by carriers, who used
the same horses throughout their whole
journey, or by relays of horses maintained by
private individuals, that is, by private post
The scheme of carrying the correspond
ence of the public by means of crown mes
sengers originated in connection with foreign
trade. A postoffice for letters ' to foreign
ports was established "for the benefit of the
English merchants" in the reign of James I,
but the extension of the system to inland let
ters was left to tha succeeding reign.
Charles I, by a proclamation issued in 1635,
may be said to have founded the present
postofSce. By this proclamation he com
manded "his postmaster of England- for
foreign parts to settle a running post or two,
to run night and day between Edinburg and
London, to go thither and come back again
in six days, and to take with them all such
letters as shall be directed to any post-town
in or near that road." Neighboring towns,
such as Lincoln and Hull, were to be linked
on to this main route, and posts on similar
principles were directed to be established on
other great high roads, such as those to
Chester and Holyhead, to Exeter and Ply
mouth. So far no monopoly was claimed, but two
years afterward a second proclamation for
bade the carriage of letters by any messen
gers except those of the king's postmaster
general, and thus tha present system was in
augurated. The monopoly thus claimed,
though no doubt devised by the king . to en
hance the royal power and to bring money
into the exchequer, was adopted by Crom
well and his parliament, one main advantage
in their eyes being that the carriage of cor
respondence by the government would afford
"the best means to discover and prevent any
dangerous and wicked designs against the
commonwealth." The opportunity of an ex
tensive violation of letters, especially if they
proceeded from suspected royalists, was no
doubt an attractive bait, and it is rather
amusing to notice how the tables were thus
turned on the monarchical party by means
of one of the sovereign's own acts of aggres
sion. However, from one motive or another,
royalists and parliamentarians agreed in the
establishment of a state post, and the institu
tion has come down without a break from
the days of Charles I to our own. ,

The chief social event of their lives is a
wedding almost the only set occasion of fes
tivities. The priest then perniit dancing
among relatives and allows unusual expenses
to be incurred. Courtship is very short and
circumspect It generally lasts but a few
months. Engagements are made very much
after the pecuniary interests followed in
France, and the marriages generally occur at
from 18 to 22 years of age.
A widower of this place recently went to
spend the evening with a neighbor, whose
sister was an old maid whom no one had
thought of marrying. When he left the
house her brother suggested tbat he should
marry her. They returned to the house, and
went together to her bed, in one corner of
the room, and woke her up. Holding the
candle up to his face, he said:
"Mile. G , take a good look at me; I'm
rather worse than I seem by candle-light,
and I've nine small children, and not a
great deal of land. Will you marry me?"
She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep,
looked him over a moment, and said, "Yes."
"Then be ready next Tuesday."
In another case, the day after the banns
of marriago had been published here, the
intended found his betrothed crying by the
window.
"What's the matter, Maria?"
"Well, Baptist, my sister Louise wants
very much to marry, because she's older and
it's her turn first And it makes me sad to
see her disappointed. Now, if you would
only marry her I Everything is ready, you
know, and it would be such a relief."
"Well, well, don't cry about that" said he,
with a moment's surprise. "I don't mind if I
do. Go and tell her to get reads."

I bear that The Century company
contemplate starting a tender to their
magazine to be issued monthly without
illustrations. . It would only be done to
utilize the manuscript material now in
their possession, the cost of which has
been nearly $w,uuu. Mr. .Hat ton sue
gested "The Decade" as a good name
for the new magazine, bnt was hushed
down for obvious reasons.
This embarrassment of riches con
trasts very curiously with that meager-
ness and paucity of good literature
which Mr. awinton reports to me.
Air. William S win ton, it will be re
membered is the brother of John Swin-
ton, the well-known New York journal
ist. The latter now publishes a weekly
aper in New York ia the interests of
abor. The former published, until
within a few days, a weekly paper called
Swmton s btory-leller.
Mr. Swinton's comment upon the fail
ure of The Story-Teller was significant
"It was too high-toned. It might have
gone into back-doors all over the coun
try and pa"d large dividends upon ailly
sentiment ality, or highly spiced immor
ality. But I tried to maintain a high
standard of fiction, if paid, in one in
stance, $200 for a single short story.
The results of one prize offer of $500
for the best American short story
were sinsnilarly unsatisfactory. Out
of 700 manuscripts offered in com
petition, all bat a half dozen
were mediocre in conception, style, and
treatment. I thought we had not
tempted the best American writers to
compete until I came to return the
manuscripts. Then I discovered the
names of almost every writer now con
tributing to our best literary magazines.
I am at a loss how to account for the
lack of the dramatic quality in the
present school of fiction writers.
American life and character are full of
picturesque incident, comedy and
tragedy but the power to combine and
assimilate it does not increase with our
national aggrandizement." Mr. S win
ton, fresh from the perusal. of 700 man
uscripts, has clearly some ground for
his convictions.

Stock in the (reat Pyramid.
(."Mentor" in Chicago Herald.
"Got something interesting here," said a
west-bcund passenger, who was just return
ing from an extensive tour in the old world.
"See that!" and he pulled out of a traveling
bag a chunk of solid, heavy mortar,
nearly white in color. "Don't come
none of your games on me," said, the
fellow traveler to whom the specimen had
been handed, testily. "You can't take me
in on any mining schemes. I've seen mineral
specimens before. S'pose this assays $11,000
a ton, and you would like to sell me some
stock, just as a favor, because you have taken
a liking to me, eh? Well, you have tackled
the wrong customer, my friend. I was bit
once, and I never take two chaws from a
rotten apple. What, it isn't a mineral speci
men? You don't want to sell me any mining
stock? What in thunder is it, thenf ' "It's a
piece of : mortar about 6,000 years old
that I picked out of the northeast
corner of the Great Pyramid of Egypt
three months ago," replied the tourist
"Gosh I" ejaculated the other, and I thought I
saw his suspicions, smart-aleck air change to
an expression of genuine awe in the presence
of such great antiquity. But I was mistaken ;
the ruling passion of the once-swindled man
was strong even in the shadow of Cheops, and
he blurted out: "Well, you cant sell me any
stock in the Great Pyramid, sir. Put your
darned specimen back in your valise. Can't
catch me on any of these schemes, sir."

Durham Is historic. It was neutral ground
durinir the armistice between Sherman and
Johnson. Soldiers of both armies filled
their pouches with the tobacco stored there,
and, after the surrender, marched home
ward. Soon orders came from East, Went,
North and Routh,for "more of that elctrant
tobacco." Then, ten men ran an unknown
factory. Now it employs 800 men, uses the
pink and pick of the Golden Belt, and the
Durham Bull is the trade-mark of this, the
best tobacco in the world. Blackwell's Bull
Durham Smoking Tobacco has the largest
