The Swiss-Germa- n colony at Helvetia,Randolph county, W. Va.t does not appear

colony there started in 1870, and by April,
1875, there were 5f 0 people. Now there are
only about 300, and some of them are pre-paring to leave. Nq particular reasons for
this decline of the colnny are given bevond
a feud between some of the leaders.
Austin (Tex.) Statesman: Two yea rain the penitentiary appears to be a remark-
ably light sentence for the Griffin brothers,
who robbed the express company at Paris
of ten thousand dollars and still retain the

Florida Patrist: The fruit crop, be
yond all peradventure, is safe, and will be a
most bountiful one throughout the state.
The garden crops are now matured, and the
greatest profusion and variety are presented
on all sides. The corn crop, of which a mnch
larger acreage than usual has been planted,
is growing finely, and may soon be con-
sidered safe The oat and rye crops promise
an abundant yield, while the cotton is the
ODly crop that may be considered ns in
doubt, and tnat doubt rests altogether on
the character of the season.
Atlanta Chronicle : For several days
past the Atlanta presbytery has been in ses-
sion in Gainesville, trying the notorious
Block case. Block was a member of the
church, and permitted dancing at his hotu-e-.
For this offense be was excommunicated by
the pastor, Rev. Dr. Leftwich, and thereupon
took an appeal to the presbytery. The inves-
tigation brouch t out a great deal of titfe. ness
and bad feeling, and resulted in sustaining
the minis r by a vote of eighteen to eight.
The dancing member still declines to believe
that he has either sinned or violated the
rules of his church, and will appeal t9 the sy-
nod, which meets in Atlanta next November.

JANE'S BROTHER JOHN.
Only three little months since that
Saturday morning, and yet how the
world is changed to me I I had promised
my little son his favorite dish of stuffed
meat for Sunday's dinner, and had for-
gotten thvme, the very root and essence
of all flavors ; so, in hot haste, with my
sleeves rolled up, my white apron on,
and nothing but a dusting cap on my
head, I rushed into Jane, singing cheerily
to myself,
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows."
In truth, Jane was a bank where some-
thing: else could be bad beside this fra-
grant commodity. Many a time I had
tided over a Sunday s dinner with the
help of a pudding or pie from her capa-
cious larder ; and, on rare occasions,
seasons of dire necessity for Jane wa
more chary of money than anything else
in the world she had lent me a bit of
currency, which . I always paid back at
my earliest convenience, even if I was
compelled to borrow it from somebody
else, because, I knew that, to be in Jane s
favor, one must not forget what she
called a business transaction. I confess
with shame and remorse tbat I have lest
count of half leaves of bread, lump3 of
butter, small quantities of riaegar, pep-
per, mustard, even a scuttle of, coal.
These things have passed from my mem-
ory, and leit no distinct trace ; but I
never have failed, when I have been
compelled to borrow money from my
sister in-la- to put the amount down on
the kitchen door, and have even worn a
string on my finger till the debt was
wiped out. She wan't exactly my
eiater-in-la-w she was my brpther-i- n
law's brother's wife--b- ut it amounted
to the same thing, and I've even intro-
duced her as my sister some times to
save ceremony. Jane generally ex-
plains, for she is a very conscientious
and strict woman, but the ramifications
of relationship are so intricate that I
never stay to hear them unravelled.
On this Saturday morning of which I
Bpeak I rushed into Jane's kitchen,
Finging
"I know abmk whereaa tbe wild thyme b!ows;"
but the nots died away in an embar-
rassed cough. For there, by the kitchen
range, tilting back in his chair, and
staring at me with all hs might, was a
strange gentleman. One could see he
was a gentleman at the first glance ; and,
truth to say, all the good people that
visited Jane did not reach my idea of
true gentility. In the meanwhile a
warm, generous, encouraging smile
lighted up his face.
"My--m- y sister is out !" 1 stammered,
looking about me for Jane.
"Your sister," he said, inquiringly;
and as Jane wasn't, there, I was com-
pelled to explain.
"Not exactly my sister," I began;
and suddenly he broke in :
"Your BisteMn-law- , you mean?"
" Oh, what does it matter?" I Baid. .
of some little consequence to
me," he aid, still tmiling in his pleasant
way, and somehow I felt as if I'd
known him a hundred years. Before I
knew it I began telling him about tbe
stuffed meat" for my little Howard's
Sunday dinner ; I had to wait for Jane,
and it wa? stupid to stand there and
say nothing. At the least encourage-
ment my tongue always ran like a mill-race- ,
and here was the brightest and
bet of reasons for talking, when I had
so ready and willing a listener, and one
so sympathizing and genial. From my
little Howard it was the easiest thing in
the world to pet back to his poor, dear
papa, and my heart wasstrangely warmed
and comforted by tbe gentle sympathy
that shone in the face ot this kind gen-
tleman for my widowed and lonely con-
dition. '
..As usual, when my tongue ran ahead
of my reason, I was brought up short by
the awkward consequence of this impuls-
iveness of mine, and when I found that
I was actually being consoled by an entir?
stranger, my tardy timidity took fright,
aud I should have beaten a retreat n ne
had not anticipated me.
I think Jane is coming," he said. " I
will go out lor a walk, but I hope soon to
eee you again."
I couldn't help, smiling when he
smiled, to save my life. He caught up
his hat from the dresser, and went to tbe
door-:-
-
- :
" Why, where are-yo- u going, John ?''
said Jane, upon the threshold.
" I'll be back prewsntly," he said, and
with another, little nod to me he disap-
peared.
" To think ot that woman next door
sticking a pin in her baby's eye ! " said
Jane. " I declare to goodness, a woman
that won't sew hooka and eyes or buttons
on her dress don't' deserve to bave a
baby!"
I hastened to turn sideways to Jane.
My poor, dear Howard used to say that
every embrace f his was at the risk of
being stabbed with a pin or a needle, so,
to change the subject, I asked Jane who
the gentleman was that had just left us.
"Why, that's brother John," said
Jane ; brother John, from LoDg Island.
He's such a home body, I guess you've
never seen h m before," Here Jane
paused, ani winked her eye at me and
smiled. Her smile was like her brother
John's, and lit up her whole face. You
see," Jane went on, beginning to mold
nerbread, but still nodding and winfcipg
at me, " John's come down here for
somethiu' special.. My worst enemy
couldn't call me a match-make- r; but
when I see a poor widow strugglin' along,
tryin to keep the wolt from the door,
I can't help takin' an interest. There's
nothin' mean or contrivin about
me
" I'm sure there isn't, Jane," I said.
"And I hate a meddler; but ever
since Belindy died John's just buried
himself down there at bis place on Lonjr
Island ; a beautiful place bt-y- u t' ful,"
repeated Jane, unctuously. Trees
fMy laden down with fruit ; and what
with' new-lai- d egg and cream, and
home-mad-e hams and saut-age- . the place
is next door to a paradise. There aiu t

that foolUh about a woman that ; she )
never has to raise a hatnl, and that s
something for a poor strugglin' widow
to think of, isn't it, Nelly?"
" Yes," I stammered out, my face in a
glow, and a world ot confusion battling
at my heart. This good creature Jane
had evidently, invited her brother John
purposely to ' see me.' and though her
intentions were good, what must he
think of ray meeting him half-wa-y ia his
consolation a little. while ago 1 .Oh, how
bold and contriving he had found me !
How in the world was I to know he was
a widower, and invited down for a special
purpose?
" Oh, why didn't you tell me, Jane ?' o
I cried. '
.
; ' "
" Well, you see, I couldn't tell how.it
would turn out. . John, didn't know
there was, a. mortgage n Susan's pro-- ' "
perty." - , :t i , : a" Susan I" I repeated.
" Yes; you know Susan my hus-
band's sister. She's comin' down on a
visit to-da- y, and John says he don't care
a pin about the mortgage ; he's only
afraid he can't care for Susan. You
see, his heart wai bound up in Bs-lindy- .-'
;
I began to understand that it was not
my lonely condition that Jane had in-
terested herself to ameliorate, but that "
of her husband's sister Susan. It took "
quite a weight of confusion from my
heart, but left it strangely sad and dis-
comfited. It was so hard to be alone
and desolate, and have, nobody care
whether one lived or died, and Susan
was so much better off than I !
" I thought Susan was quite comforta-
bly eituated," I said.
" Well, there's the mortgage," said
Jane; "she keeps botherin' us about
that mortgage all the time, and my hus-
band can't undertake to bolster up all
his relations. You see, I just told John
all about it, and it's a business transac-
tion, Nelly. If she gets John we won't
hear any more about tbe mortgage."
I began to lose all interest in the con-
versation, and remembered tbat my poor
dear Howard had told me how sordid and
mercenary all these people were. It was
really dreadful to hear Ihe most sacred
sentiments oi life degraded to the level
of mere business transactions. Jane's
Brother John didn't look like this kind
of a person, but of course he must be.
The whole .thing so confused aod be-
wildered me that I went away without
my thyme, after all.
We all know what appalling things
can happen iu an : incredibly short
space of time, and our dearest hopea
are blasted when we least look for a
calamity. I had not expected to be
absent five minutes, and had left my
kitchen window open, as the morning
was so balmy and sweet. Imagine my
dismay when I saw a strange cat actually
standing on my kitchen table and help-
ing herself to the meat which had al-
ready cx3t me so much trouble. lie was
a lean and hungry animal, with murky
green eyes; and though he fhd at my
approach, and had not made much pro-
gress in his meal, of course the damage
was irreparable. I felt aa Byron did
about the little waltzer. "What you've
touched you may take," I said, and flung
the meat after the green-eye- d monster.
Then I banged down the window, shut
out the balmy air, and looted dolefully
at the miserable materials left to me. I
might have borrowed any one of them,
or all of them, if tbe meat had been
theie, but I eouldn't ask Jane for the
meat; it would be like the Irishman
begging the Joan of an egg for his pinch
of salt. . !Ne; it was plain to be eeen
that little Howard must go without hi
Sunday dinner. I didn't care formyself,
but my poor little fatherless boy would
suffer for my carelessness and neglect.
And, truth to say, he waa not wont te
suffer in eilence or uncomplainingly. I
should have a terrible day, and began to
feel more and more thai life was a hid-
eous and unbearable burden. I saw
through the front window a lady go by,
wearing a sealskin sacque. 1 cou'd not
think it possible it was Susan. But it
was yes, it was Susan. She had the
sealskin sacque which the bad so long
coveted. Sjme people were born to good
luck. Heaven forbid any injustice on
mv part, or useless repining at the ways
of providence, but it did seem hard that
Sn?an should have twrylhing. To crown
all, I saw somebody else pans mv win-
dow. It was Jane's brother John, with a
lovely bunch of violets in bis baud, lis
was only a few rods behind Susan ; he
would soon overtake her and give iier
the violets wilh soma nice liltie speech
about her eyes, which, I remembered,
were a wahed-o- ut bice. Then they
would eo into one of Jane's appet'a ng
little lunches, while I and por little
Howard would sit down to a crust, and
the end ot it would be that Susan
wouldn't have to raise a band, while I
Well, I must go about my sweeping
right straight away. "
Which I did at once. But the salt
and bitter tears that fell from my eyes
ought to bave allayed tbe dust of my
uming-ruoi- n. uiuu b cure wi qujuhij
bo much as my little Howard's disap-
pointment. How could I confess to the
child that I had left his precious bit of
meat to be devoured by that green-eye- d
monster. He would kick and cry and
refuse to be comforted; and I should be
most miserable.
While the tears were falling like rain
upon my broom a big shadow loomed
up at the door, and there stood Jane's
brother John, with the bunch ot vioieU
still in one hand and a bunch of thyme
in the other. I turned my tear stained
face away from him, and held .out my
hand for the thyme, I was sorry to
seem so' ridiculou. Of course Jane had
told him all about his mistake, and he
had come to apologize and explain. I
wished he would not mind, but go back
again to Suan ; but he held my hand
tight in his own, and put into my fingers
the pretty timers, looking down intomy
face with a world of tender inquiry as to
its forlorn and woe-begon- e condition.
" These blossoms will serve to garnish
your Sunday dinner," he said, " in which
I have become strangely interested, and
could not frbear bringing you tbe
thyme which you left behind you."
' It is useless,'.' I said, smiling dole-fully; "the green eyed monster has
spoiled all. . .
"Ab," he siid, his face suddenly
brightening, " is that the trouble ? Bless
your womanly little soul, how I love
your frank generosity ! How sweet it is
to hear something straight from tbe
heart, without affectation or sl am ! Ah,
believe me, you have nothing to dread
from the green eyed monnter. '
I knew from'tbo tenderness of bis
voice and manner be thought I meant
that L was jealous of Suwin, and I felt
the hot blood ruh up to the frill of my
dusting cap. . I wanted to tell him it ws
only a green eyed cat, and faltered out
that lis had made a mistake; but he
broke in again, eagerly :
?Yei, I know there is some little
mistake about the relationship. Jane
has told me that instead of being same- -
thifiir or other, that you are the other I
" 3 w J
thing ; but the main thing ia tbat you
are tbe one woman in me woria ior
ffle. I never saw anybody in my life
at least, that is I mean since .'
Aud here tbe poo? fellow grew silent,
thlnkinc doubtle. of Belinda. I was
sorry so sensitive and loyal a nature
should be thrown away upon Susan,
whom I knew to be cold and calculating,
thinking more of her mortgage than the
human heart, but I could not be treacher-
ous and base.
"1 am sorry," . I said for frankness
was a part of" my nature, and Heaven
knows I was sorry-- to my heart's core
" but I cannot interfere with the plans
your sister Jane. I know that she ia
only my , brother-in-law- 's brother's
wift ". .
"Oh," cried Jane's, brother John,
won't yon please make the relationship
simple one ? See what mischief it has
done a ready 1 I shall love nobody but
you marry nobody but you."
And all at once, while my hand was
still elosa in his own. and the violets
were drooping from the warmth of both,
who should burst in upon us but his
lister Jane !
Her fac was flustered, but not very
wrathful, and she seemed rather pleased
than otuerwise at the tableau before her.
For goodness' sake, John," she said,
when you come back to the house don't
say a word to Susan ; she's engaged to
the Baptist minister. I never liked the
looks oi the man myself, and wouldn't
want to marry anybody with such an
ugly Kjuint in his eye; but he hoids
Susan's mortgage, and if he looked seven
ways to the moon, she wouldn't care. So
perhaps it's better as it is."
" I'm sure it's ever so much better as
it is," said Jane's brother John '.Har-

Those Silver Dollars.
The treasury has now commenced to
payout the new siiver dollars, and in the
ordinary course of business $1,200,000
will be disbursed during the current
month. There is, we are informed, some
complaint of the redundancy of small
silver coin and apprehensions that this
superabundance may lead to inconveni-
ence. It is to be regretted that the gov
ernment has not provided means for the
exchange of small coin for bills or for
coin certificates. This, however, it has
done in the case of the silver dollars, and
hereafter whoever finds himself burdened
with a 8upeifluity of these shining discs
cm without difficulty exchange them for
the new Mlver coin certificates in denom-
inations ranging from ten to one thousand
dollars Thus a superfluity of tilver
dollars can always be prevented, so far,
at least, as any inconvenience may arise
from the mere handling or storing of tbe
coins. We can but believe, however,
tbat the provision of the silver law,
which compels the secretary of tbe
treasury to coin two millions p r month,
and forbids him to coin more than four
millions, is not wholly wise, and that it
would have been better had silver not
only been made an unlimited tender for
all payments, public and private, but
that its supply also had been made to
depend upon the demand for it, by
permitting any one to have silver builion
coined on payment of the seignorage.
This is what is done with gold ; and
per ect equality between the two metals
cannot be reached aa long as tbe govern-
ment arbitrarily fixes the supply of one
of thee by a cast-iro- n rule, and leaves it
open for any one to increase the supply
of the other by sending a ton or two of
gold bricks to the mint. We are not
asking any fceth legist itive action in the
premises at present; we can alTrd to
wait and see how affairs move under the
existing regulations. But we point out
what we consider to be an imperfection
in tbe law ; and invite to the subject the
consideration of the though tful.--Graph- ic.

V:iii Doru and Forrest.
General D. II. Maury, ot Ricbuinud, Vs.
In the spring of 183 Forrest was in
Middle Tennepsee, commandine a brigade
in the cavalry corps of Van Dorn. By
one of bis lold and skillful movements
he captured a Federal brigade com-
manded by General Coburn, and re-
ported the capture of the men, horses
and equipments t General Bragg, who
ordered that all the captured property
should be turned in to the proper officers
of the army. But Forrest's men had
acted on the principle tbat tbe spoils of
war belong to the victor, and General
Braeg's supply officers received but few
contributions from Forrest's fortunate
operation, and Van l)jrn was instructed
to call him to account and. enforce
obedience to the order of tbe general
c immanding tbo army.
Accordingly Van Dorn wut for Forrest
and sternly aeked him why he had not
turned in the arms, etc., captured with
Ooburn's brigade.
Forrest replied : " Because I haven't
got 'em."
" Then," said Van Dorn, " ycur state- -
raent is at variance with your written
report.
Forrest replied : " General Van Dorn,
I am not in the habit of beine
xpoken to in that way, and I
won't allow it and when the time
comes tbat your rank won't interpose,
you shall answer to me for this, sir."
".'ieneral Forrest, mv rank shall never
stand between me aod any man who
feels aggrieved by me, and I am at your
service now, sir.
Forrest paused a moment, passed his
hand across his forehead, and said : "Gen-
eral Van Dorn, there are enough Yan
kees for you and I to fight, without
fighting each other, and you and I can
aff ird to let this matter stop right here.
I am sorry I spoke to you as I did, and
hope you will tonret it."
Van Dorn said cordially: "General
Forrest, I am very glad to hear you
speak K, and assure you I shall never
again think of your wordj no man will
ever question your readiuess to fight any
man or any thing. But, General, so long
as you are under my command I shall
expect you to obey orders." And thus
ended the nixt remarkable c llision that
ver cccurn-- d between two or the bravest
men in the world. Etch co: fi Jent in bis
own courage, and w 11 kuovriijg tbat of
the other, were perhaps the only two
i living men who could afford to rettle a
controversy thus.
