A BUNCH OF WHITE MLAC.
"So much? It is too much!" said a
soft, plaintive voice behind rue.
I turned to see a small creature
standing on tiptoe before a flower stand
at the entrance to Covent Garden asa I
was passing.
In this position, her head was about
on a level with a huge bunch of white
lilac; and the rough straw hat pushed
back, and the fair curls jrlittcred in tho
sunshine, as the little face was fairly
buried in the fragrant bloom.
I stopped short; the bright hair and
the pale flowers both arrested me.
Swift as thought, they had caught my
memory back to a bowery scat under a
white lilac clump, and a golden head
upon a level with my shoulder, and a
face that for fairness and sweetness
might have put the white lilacs them
selves to the blush.
Somehow I could not help wondering
if this face would be like that face, as
these blossoms were like those of the
past, faded now more than half-a-dozen
years ago.
And it was startlingly like. So like,
that I could almost believe that three
times half-a-dozen years had vanished,
and my little playmate, May my May
Queen, as I used to call her stood be
fore me among the lilacs.
The child looked up at mo. frankly
and conlidiugly, out of thoso great blue
eyes that might have been May's eyes,
forgetful that there had ever been a bit
ter quarrel and a parting.
What a folly in mc to be thinking of
her now! But, thinking of her, some
how I could not help answering, those
soft, appealing eyes.
"You wanted the flowers, little one?"
,"Ycs, sir. Please, sir, the big white
ones."
"You like white lilacs?"
The flower-girl behind the stall was
singling out a great, sweet bunch, re
sponsive to the coin I had laid beside
it. But the child was shaking her small
head.
"I like those better," she said, point
ing to a mass of yellow daflbdills.
"But Little Mother, doesn't she just love
the big white lilacs? They're for her,
sir; and will you make this buy them?"
She showed me her penuy, over
which the rosy lingers were shut jeal
ously. "Keep your penny, child, and I will
buy the lilacs for you."
But she shook her head.
"No; Little Mother was crying this
morning when 1 woke up did you
know grown-up people ever cried?
and she told me it was because she had
no white lilacs on this May-day. Wasn't
that a fuunv thins: to crv for? And
then she told inc she was Queen of the
May once, and she had to get down off
her throne, and wander away and
away from the white liiacs, and out in
to the cold, dark streets here. I don't
think they're cold and dark, do you?"
the little thing added, looking up at me
in the sunshine.
Suddenly a wondering expressing
grew in her eyes.
"You arc not going to cry, are you?"
filic siskcu
If Little Mother had felt the blank
sense of misery which had been closing
in and blotting out the bright day from
me, as the child prattled on, she would
have been too near to despair for tears.
I could ouly hope her pain was less than
mine. The small hand I took into
mine had torn open an unhealed
wound; and now it must lead me until
I could see her Little Mother face to
face, and know if it were indeed my
lost sweetheart. May Elliston.
"No, no! I am not going to cry," I
said. "But I am going nomo with you
to see your Little Mother. See, we will
take her all these lilacs."
Yes, but I must buy them myself,"
she declared. "I didn't tell her so; but
I promised myoclf to take my bright
new penny as soon as I had done my
lesson and Little Mother was at her
work and wouldn't miss mc."
So the bright new penny was laid
down on the counter beside my coin,
and the littla maid, her pinafore heaped
with a gay bunch of daffodils amongst
the liiacs. trotted on, her free hand
trustingly in mine.
It was not until we were some dis
tance from the stall, and the knot of
wayfarers about it, that I could give
"Voice to' tho questions burning in my
'heart. " " '
What is your mother's name?"
"Why, Little Mother, of course! What
elso should it be?"
And your own name?"
Bertie."
"What else?" '
"Why, nothing else!" she ' said with
wonder in the uplifted eyes which were
so like May's.
My heart grew heavier and heavier.
For Bertie was the name of May's
scapegrace brother who was lost at sea
when my little sweetheart had not
much more than entered her teens. She
had all a young girl's romantic devo
tion to him. What more likely than
that she should have named her child
after him?
There were ugly stories whispered
about of Bertie Elliston before the ves
sel was wrecked in which he was flee
ing from his country out of reach of
the law, it was rumored. But May
would be sure not to believe the stories;
she was never a half-hearted partisan.
If every one had not known that the
vessel went down with every soul on
board, it might have been supposed that
May had gone to her brother somewhere,
when, after the death of her grand
father, her last remaining relative, she
simply disappeared with the fortune the
old man had left her, because he could
not carry it in his grasping, miserly
bands into the other world.
That was just after May and I had
had our bitter lover's quarrel; and when
I came back to the old village to look
for her, she had vanished. And now to
find her again not my May, but this
child's mother.
I could not bring myself to question
the child about her father. She had a
bit of black ribbon tied round her straw
hat , .
I dared not even think of it I tried
Hot to think at all, while she drew me
gaily on, her feet dancing over the
roach ways -of the dingy streets, np
which she turned, as her bright eyes
were dancing over the fragrant blos
soms heaped up in her pinafore.
Up the dingy street, np and op the
dark staircase of a dingier house to the
very garret floor. Surely it could never
be May Elliston, the heiress, lodged so
high as this!
Bat my small guide was pushing the
door open before I could stop her.

It must have been the sun that shone
full on .the window where she sat which

shining round the 'droopinggoldeit
head, that never lifted, though May's,

the child.
"My little Bertie back again already?
Why, "you couldn't have got as far as
the park, darling; and it would have
done you good to play there in the sun
shine. Diil dolly get tired aud waut to
get home?" ,
She was stitching away so busily that
she never glanced round.
"I didn't take doily out to-day, Little
Mother. I didn't want dolly. Look
and see what I've got here instead!" m k
"Wait, darling; I am just finishing.
Then we'll go out together and take all
this work home, and if they pay us this
time" this in a lower tone "we'll
get a nice diuncr that will make up for
the breakfast"
"Little Mother, see!"
The child had slipped behind her, and
was showering down the fragrant blos
soms over her shoulder into her lap.
"White lilacs!"
t- Jt was-with a wild sob in her voice
.that May, cried out" and she gathered
up ino rrasrani macs ana uunuu uui
face in them.
When she lifted her face, they were
all shining and wet, but nwt with dew.
And when she lifted her wet eyes, it
was straight into minejhal they looked.
Slowly she yielded her hand into
mine, outstretched for it
"Donald! After all these years "
"And changes."
Perhaps my voice was bitter, for after
that first impulse to draw her to me, to
claim her in spite of everything that
had come between, came the revulsion.
I looked down at her black dress, and
I seemed to see, under the mocking
heap of flowers, and the coarse white
work, the little left hand with the wedding-ring
upon it.
No, I could not forget that she had
forgotten that she hadgivcn herself to
some other man! I touched a fold of
the black dress, letting go her hand.
"Ho is dead, May?" I said.
She gave a startled glance at the
child,

pressed against her knee, ab
in bunching the flowors to-
"Yes, he is dead."
And then, very softly, lifting up her
lovely eyes to me:
"If you know so much as that of him,
Donald, it is likely you know all. But
let his memory rest; he was sorry
enough at the last"
"Sorry! But lirst he brought you
down to this. Your fortune "
"Gone!" she said; and with the hand
I had let fall she gently stroked the
golden head of the little one, intent
upon her task, not heeding us. "His
child." she said. Donald, when I
parted with my last sovereign for the
simple cross that marks his grave, that
'Sacred to the Memory' made his memo
ry ever sacred to mc. So let it rest un
touched by any slightest breath of un
kind word."
I looked down into the drooping face
of the girl ray May Queen once; and
suddenly 1 knew that try to dethrone '
'her as 1 might, she, was my queen still
and mistress of my fate,
"And because of that stone, sacred to
his memory," 1 said bitterly, "because
of that. May. you arc going to send me
from you again, more, wretched than
when we quarreled and parted, years
ago?"
"Send you from mc again!"
There was a frightened" gasp in the
Bwect voice; and in the blue eyes lifted to
me a look that told me 1 might venture
to do what thereupon I did that is, to
catch both her hands in mine, to draw
her to me, the left hand as well as the
right
Then, suddenly and sharply.
"May, what have you done with your
wedding ring?"
"My wedding ring?"
"Oh, see all the jxor, pretty flowers
spilt!" the child broke in, trying to
push us back from the fragrant showers
lying about our feet "Oh, Little Moth
er, see what you have done!"
I felt the start that went through and
through May, as I still held her in my
arms.
And then she looked up at6. Sue, smil
ing tremulouslv, blushing ravishingly.
"Ah, now I see what liertie has done!
It is her 'Little Mother' that misled you
into fancying I could ever have been
false to you! Yes, I am her 'Little
Mother' the only mother she has ever
known; for her own mother died before
she could remember. She is poor Ber
tie's child, Donald."
I stooped aud caught up the little ono
rapturously, setting her down again,
bewildered aud staring, in the midst of
her blossoms.
"Blessings on her pretty face! It is
just what yours was, May, when I can
first remember it"
She shook her head.
"I never could have been as pretty as
that" she said simply, lowering her
voice that the child' should not hear.
"But my brother and I were very much
alike." '
Hcrypice softened. -,
After all, he had never sailed' on
thatl ill-fated vessel," she explained.
"And 3 when hcV. wrote me Jo come to",
him, after grandpapa's death had left
me alone in the world "
"After it had left you an heiress," I
answered, in my own mi ml, but never
from that day to this one syllabic of, it
aloud.
Of course I went" she continued.
"And I had to disappear, for it was not
safe for him to be seen by any who had
even known before," "she whispered,
with a pained glance at the child. "I
never thought you would care we had
parted in anger, we two "
I stopped the last word with my lips
on hers; we would never be two again.
She whispered, clinging to mc:
"Never ask me of those years, Don
ald, if you love mc. Ouly, "he was sor
ry sorry at last"
The tears vanished in sunshine in
May's bluo eyes as I made her look at
the child among the flowers.
"Littlo Bertie never shall be sorry all
her bright life long, if I can prevent it"
I said. "I owe her ail that fortune can
give her for bringing me again to woo
my love among the white lilacs. Sweet

"I want to warn you about one
thing," said Mrs. Farquhar; "don't go
strolling off before sunset in the Lovers'
J Walk. It is-the most dangerous place.
. It is a fatal place, suppose every turn
in it, every tree that has a knoll at tho
' foot where two persons can sit has wit
nessed a tragedy, or. what is worse, a
'comedy. There arc legends enough
about it to II II a book. Maybe there is
not, a Southern woman living who has
not been engaged there once at least
Til tell you a little story for a warning.
Some years ago there was a famous
belle here who had the Springs at her
feet and half a dozen detenuiucd.suit
ors. One of them, who had been un
able to make the least impression on
her heart resolved to win her by a
stratagem. Walking one evening on
the hill with her, the two stopped just
at a turn in the walk I can show you
the exact spot, with a chaperon and
he fell into, earnest discourse with her.
She was as cool and repellent as usual.
Just then he heard a party approach
ing; his chance had come. The mo
ment the party came in sight he sudden
ly kissed her! Everybody saw it The
witnesses' discreetly turned back. The
girl was indignant But the deed was
done. In half an hour the whole
Springs would, know it She was com
promised. No explanation could do
away with the fact that she had been
kissed in Lovers' Walk. But the girl
was game, and that evening the en
gagement was announced in the drawing-room.
Isn't that a pretty story?"
However much Mr. King might have
been alarmed at this recital, he betray
ed nothing of his fear that evening
when, after walking to the Spring with
Irene, the two sauntered along, and un
consciously, as it seemed, turned up the
hill into that winding path which has
been trodden by generations of lovers
with loitering steps steps easy to take
and so hard to retrace! It is a delight
ful forest the walk winding about on
the edge of the hill, and giving charm
ing prospects of intervals, stream and
mountains. To one in the mood for a
quiet hour with nature, no scene could
be more attractive.
The couple walked on, attempting
little conversation, both apparently pre
possessed, and eonstraiued. The sun
set was spoken of, and when Irene at
length suggested turning back, that was
declared to be Kiug's object in ascend
ing the hill to a particular point; but
whether cither of them saw the sunset,
or would have known it from a sunrise,
I cannot say. The drive to the Old
Sweet was pleasant Yes, but rather
tiresome. Mr. Meigs had gone away
suddenly. Yes; Irene was sorry his
business should have called him away.
Was she very sorry? She wouldn't Ho
awake at night-over it, but he was a
good friend. The time passed very
quickly here. Yes: oue couluu't tell how
it went; the days just melted away; tho
two weeks seemed like a day. They
were going away the next day. King
said he was going also.
"And," he.added, as if with an effort
'when the season is over. Miss Benson,
lam going to settle down to work."
"I'm glad of that," she said, turning
upon him a lace'glowing with appro
val. "Yes, 1 have arranged to go on with
practice in my uncle's oluVc. 1 remem
ber what von s:tid about a dilettante
life."
"Why, I never said anything of the
kind!"
"But you looked it It is all the
same."
They had come to the crown of the
hill, and stood looking over the inter
vals to the purple mountains. Irene
was deeply occupied iu tying up with
grass a biiueh ot wild flowers. Sud
denly he seized her hand.
"Irene!"
"No, no," she cried, turning away.
The Dowel's dropped from her hands.
"You must listen, Irene. 1 love you
I love you."
She turned her face toward him; her
lips trembled; her eyes were full of
tears; there was a great look of tender
ness in her face.
"Is it all true?"
She was in his arms. He kissed her
hair, her eyes ah mc! it is the old
story. It had always been true. He
loved her from the lirst, at Fortress
Monroe, every minute since. Aud she
well, pcrhaps,she could learn to love
him in time, if he was very good; yes,
maybe she had loved him' a little at
Fortress Monroe. How could he? What
was there in her to attract him? What
a wonder it jnras that she could tolerate
him! What could she s'cc in him?
So this impossible thing, this miracle,
was explained? No, indeed! It had
to be inquired into and explained over
and over again, this absolutely new
experience of two people loving each
other.
She could speak now of herself, of
her doubt that he could know his own
heart and be stronger than the social
traditions, and would not mind, as she
thought he did at Newport just a little
bit the opinions of other people. "I do
not by any means imply that she said
all this bluntly, 'or that she took at all
the t6nc,o'f- apology; but she contrived,
as a wbnian!can without saying much,
to let him see why she had distrusted,
not the sincerity, but the perseverance
of his love. There would never be any
more doubt now. What a wonder it
all. is!
The two parted alas! alas! till supper-time!
I don't know why scoffers
make so light of these partings at the
foot of the main stairs of the hotel gal
lery, just as Mrs. Farquhar was descend
ing. Irene's face was radiant as she
ran away from Mrs. Farquhar.
"Bless you, 1113 children! I sec my
warning was iu vain, Mr. King. It is
a fatal walk. It always was in our
family. Oh, youth! youth!" a shade of
melancholy came over her charming
face as she turned alone toward the
spring. Charles Dudley Warner, in
Harper's Magazine.

The Revue Scientifique announces
the discovery of a beetle, christened
Cetonia aurata, which is to render un
necessary all the knowledge gained bv
Pasteur concerning the treatment of
rabies. A Russian naturalist Alexander
Becker, is credited with having made
known the properties of this invaluable
bug, aud as being the authority for the
statement that in southern Russia it is
the commonly recognized and always
efficient antidote for rabies. All that is
1 necessary for a person to do, after hav
' ing been bitten by u mad dog. is to eat
a piece of bread iu which a Vctonin

sect is said to be "of a melalliogrcen

DAUK COLOIEI2! TOI5ACCO.
Tho Keswcutlns or the Weed to .Meet U
I'ojMilur Craze.
One of the latest tricks in the tobacco
trade, says the Pittsburg Times, is the
artificial rcsweating of the weed to meet
the popular craze for dark-eolored ci
gars. The craze arises from the false
impression that because all good cigars
arc dark-colored, all dark-colored cigars
are good. The ground taken for this
later impression is that the dark color is
an indication that the tobacco has been
naturally sweated through about three
summers, and has thus reached per
fection of flavor.
The color was formally an indication
that this was the faet, but it is so no
longer, for the increased demand for
tobacco of the requisite age caused
manufacturers to find a way of aging
it, or giving it the appearance of age,
artificially. This was at lirat done by
painting, but a speedier and more
wholesale process has been invented
within l lie last three or four years called
resweating. The fact that tobacco
sweats i well known. The first sum
mer after it is cut. tobacco sweats very
heavily so that, it can be twisted and
tied iu knots like "kiil-nic-quick" tobies.
The next summer it sweats much less,
and the third summer the sweat is hard
ly noticeable. Alter each summer's
sweat the leaf assumes a darker color,
until it reaches the hue of the best Ha
vana brands.
In order to sweat tobacco the box is
opened and the leaf "cased" or damp
ened, one "hand" or layer at a time,
by dipping it in water. The tobacco is
then repacked iu the box and the box
placed in a s'eaui-tight receptacle a few
inches from the floor. A jet of steam
rises through the floor of this chest
right underneath the box, and the steam
is allowed to play incessantly on it for
seventy-two hours, producing as pro
fuse a sweat as that of a fat "man run
ning tin hill with the tuermometer at
100 degrees in tho shade. The box is
then taken out and allowed to cool oil'.
It is then repacked and is ready for use.
Great care lias to bo exercised after
sweating tobacco to prevent it from be
coming moldy. If it is found to mold it
is often dipp-d iu buer to kill the mold.
Here is a prob.ible explanation of the
inebriating ellrcls otsoine cigars. This
tobacco mii.tt always have passed
through one summer's sweat before be
ing resweated.
This process ages the tobacco three or
lour years, but whether it improves the
quality proportionately i.-, an open ques
tion with I lie trade. Sonus say that as
resweating has the same effect as the
natural sweat. res rated tobacco is
perfectly equal to that which has aged
naturally, ot tiers say that it injures the
flavor. Other-, again, say that it does
not allecl the flavor prejudicially or fav
orably. Ali agirr thai it makes the leaf
lender .mil tlillicuil to work and there
in' e:ntfs o. to the manufacturer.
What !-. admitted ! all judges is that a
natural sweat invariably improves the
quality so that the question remains
how to disiinjuisli tobacco natural
sweated from that which has been arti
ficially resweated. It is a difficult one
to answer, the onl guide being that ar
tificial .sweating ollcu makes the leaf al
most black, ami alwa3-s makes it a
darker color than the natural sweat
product .s.
Tiie l'iltsburger's delight, the toby, is
usually made of tobacco which has
stood oue summer's sweat, but at the
present time 1 he crop of 18S.r. which is
now undergoing the natural process, is
being Used. Hence the great elasticity
aud dampness ot many tobies now ou
sale.
At tlie SejKitle.
There is a certain and proper routine
to be followed at the seaside, and every
new-comer drops into it iu twenty-four
hours. It is about as follows:
Go out on the verandas and sniff the
salt air before breakfast.
Eat all the breakfast you can hold,
and wish you could hold more.
Go dowii to the beach and sit on the
sands and watch the sad sea waves for
an hour or so.
If the tide is out hunt for shells for
another hour.
At 11 o'clock get into your bathing
suit and plunge into. the mad surf. It
won't take you over a week to get used
to swallowing a gallon of salt-water as
a regular dose.
Dinner at 1 o'clock.
You can
hold
more than you did at breakfast
From 1 to 4 there is a veranda con
vention and a general discussion of
sharks, whales, bluefish, sea bass, clams,
and oysters. Several natives are on
hand with sharks twenty-one feet long.
At 4 o'clock the nurses and Hotel help
have the beach for bathing, and it is
! the proper caper to go down and see
' them disport.
Supper at G. You will be surprised
to see how much you can hold, but the
landlord isn't watching.
Mail comes in at 7.
Fight mosquitoes until 1) and what is
left of you will get inside to hear some
one pound the piano, or go to bed.

A Sharp Congressman.
Washington appears to bo the home
' of the pool-seller. For a great many
years it was thought that the law on
j the statute-book prohibited the selling
1 of pools. One day a sharp young law
yer discovered that the law was defec
tive. A test case was made up and car
. ricd into the courts. The young lawyer
' carried the day, and since that time the
pool-rooms have sprung up like mush
rooms. Oue linn here has cleared, on
' an average, over $1,000 a day since the
j racing season opened. There arc quite
a number of congressmen who invest
regularly upon the races. One of them
j bets heavily, and has won a great many
I thousand dollars within a short time.
His friends here wonder why he is so
lucky, but there is something more than
luck in his success, lie ha in his em-
ploy a man in whose judgment he has
! the most implicit faith. This man is
upon the track every da", and is a well
known sport. The congressman pays
him a salary of 100 a week for the
furnishing of information relative to
the horses. The consequence is that
the investment has been a very profita
ble one for the congressman. Among
his notable winnings this vear was
about S-UOOO on Troubadour. The
odds given were seven to one. Ocav
sionally this congressman lets out some
of his advance information to a few
intimate friends. Then there is always
a rush to the pool-rooms. Boston Trav
eller. French l'olircncsx.
French politeness may be. as we who
possess it not arc fond of believing,
but skin deep, writes Sidney Lusky from
Paris, yet it is astonishingly widespread
and well sustained, and it is exceeding
ly pleasant to encounter. If it covereth
a multitude of ugly sins, it is a subject
for congratulation that the latter are
concealed by such a good-looking gar
ment An evening or two ago we were
seated at a cafe table on the boulevard,
when a poor, dingy devil of a chap
drew near and tried hard to sell us
writing paper. Like most ot the French .
peddlers, agjras something of a beg. j
, gar, too. lie pfeaded that he was soro-
Jy in need of money, told the story of a
sick wife and a legion of small chil
dren, and was altogether insufferably
persistent voluble, and importunate.
At last we got' tiivd of saying "no,"
aud, frowning savagely, we bade him
begone in no ambiguous language. He
moved off, 'stopJHsd at a respectable dis
tance, .raised his hat bowed low, and
said in the softest and most amiable ac
cents, with never a touch or sugges
tion of irony, "Bon soir. et merci, mes
i sieurs.7 Next moment he had disap-
)eared; otherwise, so much affected
were we by his half comical, half pathe
tic, courtesy otherwise we should, I
fear, have called him back, and bought
as much of his wretched merchandise
as he could in decency have had the
face to sell us.
WALT WHITMAN.
The Bohemian at 1'fafT How the
Van- If U I)jtm Xow.
reet
Mr. Walt Whitman, talking with a
correspondent of the Brooklvn Eagle
says: "I used to go to Pfaff s nearly
every night." Mr. Whitman went on.
"It used to be a pleasant place to go in
the evening after taking a bath and
finishing the work of the day. When it
began to grow dark Pfaff would politely
invite everybody who happened to be
sitting in the cave he had under the
sidewalk to some other part of tho res
taurant There w:is a long table extend
ing the length of the cave; and as soon
as the Bohemians put iu an appearance
Henry Clapp would take a scat at the
head of this table. I think there was as
good talK around that table as took
place anywhere in the world. Clapp
was a very witty man. Fitz James
O'Brien w:s very bright Ned Wilkins,
who used to bo the dramatic critic of
the Herald, was another bright man.
There were between twenty-tivo and
thirty journalists, authors, artists, and
actors which made up the company
that took possession of the cave undci
the sidewalk. Plaff himself I took a
dislike to the first time I ever saw him.
But my subsequent acquaintance with
him taught me not to be too hasty in
making up my mind about people at
first sight He turned out to be a very
agreeable, kindly man in many ways.
He was always 'kind to beggars and
gave them food freely. Then he was
easily moved to sympathize with any
one who was in trouble, and was gener
ous with his money. I believe he was
at that time the best judge of wine of
anybody in this country."
When the talk drifted around to in
quiries how Mr. Whitman passes his
time at present, tho lady visitor asked
him if he was writing anything.
"No," he sajd, "I dou't write any
thiug now. Any little task exhausts me.
I keep up my spirits, but my strength
won't stand any extra demands. I go
out to ride witli my horse unci carriage
two or three hours every day. I don't
know how I could get on if I could not
have that ride. It refreshes me a great
deal. When at home I read much of
the time, chiefly newspapers and maga
zines. Books tire me nowadays. I have
got a volume of Scott's poems, however,
that I bought titty years ago, which I
read still more or less every week. A
great many persons send nie regularly
papers, magazines, and various publi
cations. Mr. Gilder sends me the Cen
tury, which 1 iind nnich pleasure in
reading. I read everything that I Gnd
interesting, ami i try to keep abreast
of modern literature."
"Did you read Froude's 'Life of
Oarlyle i was oue of the questions
asked.
"Yes, I read it with great interest
and I sent Fronde a letter of thanks for
the work. I think he executed a diffi
cult task nobly. He has given a won
derfully vivid portraiture of Carlyle. I
have read the 'Reminiscences,' Mrs.
Carlyie's Correspondence,' and much
of the other work that has been pub
lished about Carlyle since his death. It
hasn't altered my respect for him in tho
least On the contrary, it has increas
ed it I can accept him, ill temper and
all, just as he was."
Air. Whitman tlid not care to express
any opinion about who of the present
generation of American authors would
be likely to bis .remembered fifty years
hence. "Don't ask nie any questions,"
he said, "for I can only answer you as
I do people when they ask roe about
what I think happens after death. I
have no opinion to offer. I have a cur
iosity to know." Ho reads the novels
of Howells. James. Miss Murfree, and
others, and whatever poetry comes
along iu the magazines. He had found,
however, that James is growing rather
tedious. Howells' "Apprenticeship of
Lemuel Barker" he considered enter
taining, and he thought "The Prophet
of Great Smoky Mountain," by Miss
Murfree, an exceptionally strong and
interesting book.
The Firat Shot at Sumter.
Judge J. M. Crosson, a native of New
berry County, who graduated at the
South Carolina College about 1840, and
afterward moved to Texas, in a recent
sketch of Colonel George S. James, who
fired the lirst gun in the late war, says:
"When a boy at Erskine College,
South Carolina, he ran off and joined
the Palmetto Regiment en route to Mex
ico, and for his gallantry was appointed
sergeant major of the regiment After
his return from the Mexican war he
graduated at the South Carolina Col
lege in the class with Professor Girard
eau, now of Houston. He, with Howard
Caldwell, a promising young poet (now
dead) went to Arkansas, selling 'Ben
ton's Thirty Years in the Senate.'
Young James taught a school of IndJans
at Fort Scott, in Indian Territory. Then
he walked to Fairfield, where his friend
W. C. Wilson was practicing law.
Young James walked up to the landlord
at the hotel, saying it Was customary
for iruests to deposit their bajrrajc, and
handed him his gloves. He at once ob
tained a line school and made many
friends. He was a splendid scholar and
a magnificent man, both intellectually
and physically. While there bis uncle,
Judjie "O'Neil, Chief Justice of South
Carolina, obtained for him the auwint
nient of First Lieutenant in the Third
United States Artillery, then Colonel
Worth's regiment. He was a spendid
shot with a rifle, and while others used
shotguns in driving he always brought
dowu the bueks with a ride. While
stationed at Fort Randall, in Nebraska,
he resigned and returned to South Caro
lina before she seceded. Upon secession
he was appointed captain of artillery,
and was stationed at Charleston. He
afterward led a gallant regiment from
his native county LaurensTSouth Caro
lina. His color bearer, his cousin Wil
lie Simpson, was killed became, though
surrounded and overpowered, he would
not surrender his flag. Colonel James
was killed at Boouesborough Gap at the
head of his regiment, which was annihi
lated. He fell into the hands of his old
comrades of the Third United States
Artillery, who had him decently buried,
and preserved the watch and other
things upon his body, and sent them to
his brother in South Carolina.1'
