find Vaucluse, Chatham, Eyre Hall,
Elkinton, Runnymede, the Herm

with Wynona, Pochahontas, and
more musical Indian appellations
interpersed.. There is a free nse of
Indian names throughout the pen

Chincoteagtie and Assateague are ad

er bodies of water than is justified by
the Northern idea of the word.
They are beautiful bays in fact, run
ning up from the Atlantic or the
Chesapeake, as the case may be, and
adding greatly to the attractions of
the landscape. People build their
houses by these creeks, which are in
numerable, for the double purpose
of securing a water-view, and also of
having close at hand a never-failing
supply of the delicious oysters and
savory clams which are indispensa
ble to. a Southern table. Morning,
noon and night one meets the dain
ty bivale—stewed, broiled, roasted,
scalloped; and nowhere else,in the
experience of the present waiter, has
the art of cooking it reached such
perfection.
in most other arts, it must be con
fessed, the Eastern Shore has not at
tained a high point of excellence.
There are no printing presses, no
newspaper, no lectures or public en

Fourth of July oration, a "General

county polities; the average female
intellect occupies itself with poultry,
servants and dip. Of course there
are exeeptimis, Many and bright.

very tall, straight as an arrow, dress
ed in gartnentsorangebtfeimPileitY,
with a - finelisi, wrinkled and seamed
as a frOsty OttilliMMolo, yet lighted
up with a genial welcome that mode
us, glad we had come.
She led us into a curious apart
meat called "the shed-room," from
the fact that its moss-grown, vine
covered roof was the only one be
tween itand the sky. It was divi
ded into a couple of small rooms,
bath of which contained the mount
ainous featherbed, with its patch
work quilt wrought in-unutterable
designs, and home-thade lined Ira
grant of pressed roses, that are pecu
liar to the region: These were guest
chambers. They had no carpets, but
the white pine doors were spotless,
thesmall windows were shaded with
little white fringed cu_rtaina; the
toilet-table was shrouded with snowy
drapery; the f reshness rwas one of
indescribable and sweet
ness. I could not helplaneying the
delight of nestling in one of those
downy beds, and dropping into
dreamland, while an April rain pat
tered op the shinglei so close above
my bead.
From the "shed-room,which served
213 a - ball way to the house—fancy tne
funny effect!—we ascended two steps
to the parlor, and found ourselves in
the atmosphere of a htuidred years
ago. It was a large square room,
airy with many doors and windows
that opened upon a world of outside
blossom and greenery. Like the
shed-rooms, hired no carpet, buUthe
floor waapeinted a deep lemon-color,
and twelve high-backed, hard-seat
ed, long-legged Windsor chairs, of
the same tender tint, were ranged In
regimental order against the walls.

_ o p en orv sus. Through an edoor you
saw, in the next room, the tall clock,
reaching from floor to ceiling, with
Its full-moon face at the top, and its
heavy pendulum swinging behind
glass doors, A hundred years ago
the moon-face (so round and rosy
still, while the younger, sweeter ones
that used to watch it have folded out
of sight!) went through its phases,
and the long pendulum swung sedate
ly to and fro, just as they were doing
now. Everything in the house. In
deed, was exactly as it had been
from the beginning. That all the
old land-marks should be preserved,
and no modern innovations intro
duced, bad been a proviso in the be
quest of the first proprietor, and his
decendants had religiously obeyed
t.
Opposite the great clock, in the
room, stood a very tall mahogany
four-poster, its legs shrouded in a
white valiance, and patchwork birds
of-paradise sprawling over the
smooth slope of the feather-bed. This
was the virgin bower of our venera
ble hostess, and 1 was rather startled
to observe a clumsy wooden cradle
standing at the foot of the bed.
While I stared at it, there was a stir
among its pillows, and a very woolly
black head popped over the foot
board. Two round eyes—huckle
berries set in saucers, of milk—gaz
ed at us in a sort of sleepy terror,and a
baby voice whined out "Mitty! Mit
tyl."
"One of Miss ,Charlotte's pets,"
my friend explained laughingly.
"Come here, Teddies, and see the
ladles."
Two/at little legs slid over the side
of the cradle, and Taddles came wad
dling towards us, but only to plunge
his head in his "Mittyls" lap, -and
insist upon being taken up by her
alone.
It was a commentary upon "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" to learn afterwards
that this cradle and the little Afri
can in it had been "an institution"
at Cedar Grove ever since Miss Char
lotte had inherited the place, and
the troop of slaves belonging to it
some fifty years. 'Wifehood or ma
ternity had never come to her, but
to her slaves, great and small. she
had been more mother than mistress
always; and the cradle by her bedside
was never without its small brown
occupant, whom she rocked to sleep,
and, nursed through fretful nights
more patiently and tenderly often
than its own mother would have
done. In fact, Teddies' mother com
plained that—
' "Mistis done spite that boy, dat's
a fac'. He got so sassy dese days
nobody ean'tdo nuffin wid 'eept
it's his Mitty."
She herself had been "stilled" in
the same way though, she told us,
with the mellow laugh other race 2
a laugh that rang free of all care or
reponsibildy. Like the rest of Miss
Charlotte's negroe-s, she took life
easily, having little to do but eat,
drink and be merry, and no more
anxiety than Taddies himself con
cerning the future. I have wonder
ed sometimes—since the war brciught
emancipation, and Miss Charlotte
was laid= to rest in the family grave
yard, and the ancient treasurers of
pedar'Grove Were Scattered far and
wide-4f, in spite of the blessed boon
of freedom, they did not look'back
longingly to thoee happy dos of
bondageand abundance. It was AO
light a yoke, ao easy a burden; and
the See -pots of Egypt were very
teinpting at tUlar Grove!

There are many individual . and
characteristic things which might be
told of the Eastern Shore in a more
extended sketch. The old-fashioned
houses have their legends, the old- I
fashioned people their curious habits
and traditions. There isa house near
Pungoteugue, in one corner of which
Is seen a. breach made - many years
ago, _ -but never repaired. Old fie
:vow are livingyetwho will tell you
bow-they paw "olemas'es" coffin—
washed oUt orits,grave by the great
Septelnbo flood—go sailing round
the house tilt It knocked the bricks
from that corner. "Ole maa'r" was
a hard man, and had forbidden his
son to marry the &ref his affections,
on pain of disinhdAtitnce; putting a
earotstie clause in his will to the af
fect that he would give his consent
"when he rose from the dead."
So the lovers were doomed to lan
guish apart until the great Septem
ber gust swept over the land, and
the meeting of mighty waters across
the peninsula threatened for a time
to wash it out of the world. Then
"ole maker" actually did rise from
the dead. At all events, the ghastly
coffin which contained his mortal re
mains floated up to the surface, and
went drifting past the very windows
of his former htsme, to the horror of
awe-stricken gazers who believed an
other Deluge was upon them. Af
terwards, when the flood subsided,
and people discovered that they still
lived, "ole mas'r's" son plucked up
'courage and married his subset-heart,
having first buried his father again,
witha brick arch across his grave to
prevent a new departure. Nobody
could deny, but that the conditions
of the will had been fulfilled, and tra
dition reports no future diturbance
to their married happiness.
The curious inscription written by
old John Custis, of Northampton, for
his own tombstone, has been put in
print elsewhere. He revenges him
self for his matrimonial infelicities
by stating that he was bora so many
years ago, was married at such a
time, but has "lived only seven
years, during which time he kept
bachelor's halt at Arlington."
Many amusing and Interesting an
ecdotes are told about his quarrels
'with his spouse in which; it is said,
she generally held the upper hand
- through indomitable pluck ofd cool
ness. He could not coupe* . her
.when alive, but, he has the proud
'satisfaction of having the last w ord
his tombstone.

TH EIOVIIOOLNATSEIt OF RUS
SIAN DAR.
"When is he expected ?"
"They said he was coming hi to
night's stage."
"He taught in Frisco didn't he?"
"Yes; I guess he was in the depart
ment."
The doctor's wife was an authori
ty on all matters in Russian Bar,and
on this last sensation—the coming of a
schoolmaster—she freely enlightened
her neighbor, Mrs. Brunt, a plump
widow, whose miner husband had
died a few months before. There was
not much to gossip about in that qui
et village. The arrival and departure
of the stage brought the people to
their doors three times a week,and if
a stranger was noticed, envoys were
immediately dispatched to the hotel
to learn his name and business, and
the probable length of his stay. But
now Russian Bar was to have a new
schoolmaster,and the folks wandered
if he would have any trouble with
Sam Seymour, the butcher's boy, or
Ike Walker, an unruly spirit who
had knocked down and pummelled
the last preceptor who undertook to
teach him school. discipline. The
trustees were powerless in these alit
ters, and declared that if a schoolmas
ter was not able to "get away" with
the boys in•asquare, stand-up fight,
he might as well pick up his traps
and leave Russian Bar.
On the very_ evening of the ex
pected arrival,Seymour and Walker,
the leading spirits of the mutinous
school boys, met at a pool, from
which both were endeavering to
coax a few specled trout for supper.
"Have you heard what - the new chap
is like, Sam," said Ike as he impaled
a wriggling worm on his hook.
"No. have you 2"
"Father told Jake, the barkeeper,
that ho was very young."
"And small ?"
"Yes."
"Guess he won't stay long in town
Ike."
"I guess not, Sam; School ain't
for us, such fine weather as this."
The worthies sat and finished in
silence for some time, and then Ike
produced a bunch of cigarettes and
passed them to his friend. At last,
finding that the fish would not bite,
they shouldered their poles and strag
gled up towards the village, pausing
for a moment to stone a Chinaman's
rooster which had strayed too far
from the protecting wash house.

municstive pleasant fellow, who at,
his request, dewribed the character
istic§ of his future home. Indeed,
his 'descriptions of the class Of boys
Jarhom Houghton was to takd charge
aft-was not very encouraging. "YoU
will find them a hard lot,P, said hey
"and they are all on the mitselti too;",
"What is about the weight, of- my
`oldest?" asked Houghtongaid huinr
oredly. "Yon see, If 1, have to.exer:

'Well, Sam Seynloar Is abottii the

"And what Is about the size of the
redoubtable Ike? "
"Well,' guess he topeyou by hails
head."
"Oh, I expect we'll get along well
enough together," said Houghton ;
"and I suppose this is the first glluipse
of Russian Bar," ho added as a tarn
in the road brought them in view of
that picturesque village.
The stage bowled along the smooth
road and passed the great white oak,
under whose friendly branches the
teamsters were accustomed to make
their noontime halt.
"I'll set you down at the hoteU,r
said the driver. "There's Perkins,
the propriet(ill that fat man smoking
on the stoop."
Houghton confessed to himself that
the prospect before him was anything
but a prepossessing one. He was not
of a combative nature, though he
liked a little danger for the excite
ment, but a game of flatfeet! with a
dirty, mutinous boy had neither
glory nor honor tor a man- that had
been one of the hardest hitters In his
-college.
The folks were all at their doors
when the stage clattered up We single
street, and.the steadercgoodtilMaPit
young man by the drlver,was meas
ured and canvassed 'before that
worthy had passed the mall to the
doctor, who, with his medical vo
cations, also found time to run the
post office
The doctor's wife was at her win
dow; and after a long survey of the
schoolmaster, hastened to communi
cate her opinion, to Mrs. Blunt.—
Meanwhile Houghton washed off the
red dust of the rlxtd, and took his
seat at the supper table. The driver
had introduced him to about a dozen
of the leading citizens during the few
minutes that intervened between
their arrival and their evening meal.
"How do you like our town, Mr.
Houghton ?" asked the landlord,gra
ciously as he helped his new guest to
cut of steak.
"Well, it seems a pretty place."
"When you get acquainted you'll
find yourself pleasantly situated; but
you'll have a hard time with the
bor."
"So they all tell me. Anyhow, I
am not unprepared," said Houghton
cheerfully.
After tinpper the landlord remark
ed confidentially to the doctor "that
the young man had grit in him,
and he thought he'd be able to make
the riffle, with the boys,"
TIIE FIB.ST DA. 1
When Houghton arose next morn
ing, and opened his window to the
fresh breeze, odorous with the per-i
fame of the clambering honeysuckles,'
he felt that, after all, a residence In a
remote village, even with a parcel of
rough boys to take care of, was pre
ferable to the dusty, unfam iliar
streets of San Francisco. He smiled
as he unpacked his foils and boxing
gloves a little sadly, too, for th ey
were linked with many pleasing as
sociations of his under-graduatedays.
"Well," he soliloquised, as he
straightened his arm and lookediat
the finely *developed muscle,:"l
,ought,toe.aille,to hold my pwo In a
stand-up:tight with these trouble
istgue pupils of mine. Viiis is my
'day of trial, however, and before
noon we shaltprobably have had our
battle out."
The school-house, a raw - unfinished
looking, fume building, stood Wird
the rive atabout Matta mile troth
the rickety women gate thcat, led
to the school lot. he found a group of
Koine twenty boys already assembled.
Among them were Ike Seymour and
Sam Walker. The latter's sister, a
pretty girl of sixteen, was leaning
against the fence with half a dozen of
her friends, for the Russian Bar
school-house was arranged for the ac
commodation of both sexes.
Houghton handed the key to the
nearest boy, and asked him to open
the door. With a look at the others,
and a half grin on his face, he obey
ed.
"Now boys, muster in," said
Houghton, cheerfully, to the boys.
They all passed in—Seymour and
Walker last. The latter took a good
look at the schoolmaster as he went
by. When they were seated,Hough
ton stood at his desk and laid a heavy
ruler on the books before him.
"Now boys," he said; "I hope we
shall get along pleasantly together.
You treat me fairly and you shall
have no reason to complain, I prom
ise you. silence and obedience is
what I require, and a strict atten
tion to the matter of our instruction."
Giving them a portion of the gram
mar to prepare for recitation, he
walked quietly up and down the
room, occasionally standing at the
windows, but appearing to keep no
surveillance on the boys. Suddenly
th,e....crack of a match was heard, fol
lowed by a general titter.
Houghton turned quietly from the
window, and saw the blue smoke
from a cigarette arising from Where
Seymour sat.
'What is your name,boy?" he ask
ed, in a stern tone.
"My name is Seymour," replied
the mutineer, insolently.
"And are you smoking ?"
"I guess so."
"Leave the room !"
"I guess not."
There was -a dead silence in the
school-room now, and Houghton
felt that the hour of trial had come.
"Seymour," he said again very qui
etly.
"What ?"
"Come here."
Seymour, putting his hands in his
pockets, sauntered from his desk,
stood within a yard of theschoolnias-
Va.., and looked sneeringly into his
face.
"Leave the room." said Houghton
again, in a lower voice.
No."
The lie arm straightened like a
flash oft' htning, and the rebel mama
' ured his ength on the floor whilst
the blood gushed from his nostrils.
In a moment he sprang to his feet
and rushed furiously at the- school
master, out went down again like a
reed before that well-aimed Wow.
The second time he fell, Houghton
stooped down and lifting him as if he
had been a child, fairly Sung him
outside the door. Seymour, confus
ed and s ou:razed, staggered down to
the brduk to wash his face and re
flect on the wonderful force of that
slight arm. And Houghton, turn
ing to the school withou commenced
word of
commenter' the scene,
the recitation. Walker was mum.
SeymOur's fate bad appalled him,
and in fact, the entire mutinous a 1r-
It of the scholars of the Russian
Was in fair way of being totally sub.
clued.
When the trustees heard of the af
fair they unanimously commended
the schoolmaster's pluck.
"1 tell you what boys," said Per
kins, to a crowd who were earnestly
engaged at a g ame of old - sledge in
his bar-room, 'that Houghton knows
a thing or two about managing boys.
He'll fix 'ln off, or my name 's

"Indeed; how soon ?"
"I don't know, yet; possibly with

"Do you care much, M iss Lane?"
This with an earnest look into the

"Yes, of course, we shall all be

"If I come back in :a few months

whispered Houghton, capturing the

the driver, who, one year - before, bad
set: down .at Perkins' Hotel_
New York, and that be had been left
some money, and the gossips more
than suspected that there was some
thing between Gypsy Lane and their
favorite. At all events, her eyes
were red for a week after his depart
ure.
Winter had come and the rivei was
swollen-and rapid, and many a lofty
tree from the-pine forest had found
its way to the hearths at Russian Bar.
One delicious morning, crisp and
cold after a night's rain, the stage
passed by the large white oak, and
splashed with mud, halted before
Perkins' Hotel. It had beenelt-Alght
on the way, for the roads werukvery
heavy.
The worthy proprietor of that ex . -
cellent house was in the act of tossink:
his first cocktail, when a hearty hand
was laid on his shoulder, and Philip
Houghton shouted :
"Perkins, old boy, how are you ?"
The landlord returned the shake
hands, dived behind the bar and had
a second cocktail mixed in a moment.
"And now said he, and he pledged
the ex-sc - Fc:olmaster, when will the
wedding take place?"
Six weeks afterwards the old mill
was hung with evergreen wreaths,
and a grand festival was held at Rus
sian Bar. Gypsy Lane was a lovely
bride, and when Houghton took
charge of the mill and invested all
his New York money in the village,
and was admitted to practice in the
court--everything seemed to take a
fresh start. Through all, his warm
est and most devoted friend was Sam.
Seymour, once the terror of Russian
Bar schoolmaster, and now holder-of
that important position.
t69-Colonel Thomas A. Scott and
General Ambrose E. Burnside have
startled the lobby with a grand
scheme to establish a new line of
steamers between San Francisco,
New Zealand and intermediate
points. They propose to construct a
large complement of American built
screw propellor iron steamships and
run them in connection with - the Pa
cific Railroads commencing business
probably with hired iron steamers
belonging to the estatlished 'Engilah
lines pow working between -New
York and Europe. They intend to
urge the passage through Congressof
the half million subsidy propoeltioh
now pending for Webb's Australian
Inc to open to competition between
all American lines, the business of
carrying the mails on the Pacific, to
require the use of Iron steamships
only for the work and other amend
ments of detail; then-they propose
to tinder-bid• Webb for carrying the
mails. *probably $lOO,OOO a year,
which would pay the bill only one
million for the whole ten years, in
stead of five millions as now propos
ed. The steamer which Wit
-Francisco for Australia on the :fith
instant, carried proposals from this
company' to the colonies In the Pa
cific ocean, thus making Webb
steamer the medium of probably de
stroying _ his own line. It is under
stood, on what seems good authority,
that this company intends purchasing
stock enough to control, or by direct
negotation to absorb the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. —.Elarriefiurg
