Ifow is TliiH?
Reports are not only in circulation, but
generally credited, that the late Sheriff of
New Hanover is behind in his settlements
with the State and county to amounts va
lious'y estimated, some placing it as high
;:s Thirty Thousand dollars. A committee,
iippointed by the Hoard of County Com
missioners, examined his county transac
tions, but felt there was no law authorizing
the Commissioners to examine for the
Slate.
It is alio reported that the retiring Trea-
ui'T, Mr. Fennel!, had commenced suit
aLumst Schenck for several thousand dol-
h,rs duo the county.
Again, the State Auditor's published
K'-portdoes not show one cent to have been
received by the State from New Hanover,
1't taxes on Deeds, Mortgage Deeds and
Deeds in Trust, for the fiscal year of
If-71-7-'.
We have repeatedly called attention to
the fact that the And tor's Report does not
'.how oar coil to have been paid List year
for Coloie.l IVlls in New Hanover.
The eoire-'tness or falsity of these minors
should be immediately established by actual
evamination by those, who have authority
to do s by th" laws of the State, and by
the sworn afiilavits of the recent Examin
ing Committee, and a proper remedy
speedily applied. Justice to the tax
p.iver, as well as the official, demands this
WZi:tt of the liixltt?
We shall not, deny that we are disap
pointed at. the result of the election in
Maine, nor would we be worthy of belief if
we should. To be sure we did not expect
to can v the State, but we had a right to
expect, and we did expect, that the Liberal
movement would show some decided
strength in that State.
The result of the elections in Vermont
and Maine demonstrates thai, a movement
conceived in a spirit of reconciliation and
brotherly feeling between the different
s-.-ctions of the Union has mad'c no impres
sion upon the col.Hie.ai ted people of that
section. They proclaim that they have no
wbh to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm," but u ith that type of New England
prejudice and hatred, Secretary Rout
well, they piotest against any such kindly
feeling.
Those elections prove two things, which
we may as well ieeogni.c at once. First,
that the restoration of brotherly feeling
b,-f,veen the North and South must take
place without the assistance and in spite of
the opposition of New England, and
second, that Gueki.ky and Ui:owx must
depend upon the votes of States outside of
New England for their election. It is now,
we suppose, absolutely certain that all of
thos-.-State?, with the probable exception
of Connecticut, will give their electoral
v 3 to (Ikaxt and Wilson". In Massa
e:i!!etts, indeed, with the defection of such
powciful Republicans as Simnei: and
Uanks, the former also being the Coalition
caialivlaie for Covernor, it is reasonable to
presume that groat inroads will be made
in the Aciuinisf ration ranks, but with a
ni.ij ;:iiy of seventy-seven thousand to go
on, (h-neral Gi:.vxt may safely calculate
upon the vote of the Ray Stale.
How will this state of things influence
the general result. New England refuses
the olive branch which patriots have ex
tended to the Noith and the South in
token of peace and reconciliation. Certain
Southern States, by reason of their very
large, and in some cases, overwhelming,
negro population, will also vote for
CI HANI. The result, therefore, of the Presi
dential contest, depends upon the Middle
and Western States. We are satisGed that
the reasonable certainty that Maine, Ve:
mont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island will cast their electoral votes
for Gkaxt, will have no more effect upon
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Illinois, than the equal certainty that
South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana
will'do the same thing. Pennsylvania and
Indiana, probably less than any other
Northern States, have imbibed the preju
dices of New England. And much of the
fate of the contest depends upon the result
of the October elections in these two States.
If either gives a decided Democratic vic
tory in October, the chances for Grek
LEy'd election will be good if both go the
same way, his success is certain.
There is not the slightest reason, there
fore, for depression on account of these two
elections. The battle Is yet to be fought.
But It cannot be won by apathy, inaction
and cowardice. The haughty and heart
less spirit of New England should be n'et
with firm and determined opposition. Let
us do our duty, leaving to others the
dangerous experiment of renewing sec
tional hatreds.
We have an abiding faith in the sturdy
purpose of the people of the Middle and
Western States to bury the old quarrel,
and we believe that the October elections
will settle the vexed question in behalf of
peace and reconciliation. Let us go
earnestly to work to aid in so glorious a
cause.
Pennsylvania to the Front.
If there has been any doubt es to the result
of the election in Pennsylvania, the nomi
nation of ex-Governor Curtin as delegate-at-large
to the Constitutional Convention,
by the Liberal Republicans, and his certain
acceptance, will dispel It.
The address issued by the Liberal Re
publicans, and the names signed to it, are
indications of the greatest public uprising
ever witnessed.
The Philadelphia Press, the leading
Radical paper of the State, commenting on
this nomination, and the address and its
signers, says :
Elsewhere will bo found the address of
the Liberal' Republican State Committee
of Pennsylvania, nominating the Hon An
drew Ct. Curtin as a candidate for Dele-
ate-at-Large to the Constitutional
Convention, .and from the tone of
this address his acceptance of this im
portant post i3 assured. Had the wishes
of our great State prevailed in the Repub
lican State Convention which forced the
offensive nominations of Hartranft and
Allan, Gov. Curtin would have been nomi
nated to the position for which the Liberal
Republican State Committee has now for
mally named him. But the despatic dic
tates of Simon Cameron prevailed, and the
Republicans lost the great opportunity.
Had the wishes of the good men of that
Convention been consulted, Andrew G.
Curtin would now be at the head of our
State ticket, and the people would have
regarded it as a tribute due alike to bis
own great services during the war and to
themselves. This nomination of the
Liberal Republican State Committee must
be accepted in no sense as a party prefer
ence. The significance of the selection
may be better understood by reference to
the signers of the address. They are a re
maikable indication of the great strength
of the movement in this State against that
port ion of the State ticket which has been
forced upon the Republican people of Penn
sylvania. After giving brief biographical sketches
of the signers of the address, the Press
adds :
These, the representative men of the
lists, will show that the Liberal Republi
can party of Pennsylvania is composed of
men that we cannot afford to despise or to
underrate, and their presentation of the
name of Gov. Curtin for the post of Dele-gate-at-Large
to the Constitutional Con
vention must produce a profound impres
sion upon the public mind.
The Credit Sfobilier Scandal.
Now that Mr. Speaker Blaine has been
re-elected to Congress for two years more,
the New York Tribune very pertinently
intimates that he will have time to throw
sou light on the shady matter of the
Credit Mobilier. 1 his is no vague or par
tisan charge which has been made against
him and some of his colleagues. It is
sworn testimony, elicited in a suit at law.
It is a matter of too much consequence,
fortified by too strong proofs, to be dis
persed by silence or mere denial. It
must be investigated, and the sooner the
better for all parties.
That our readers may know the charge
which has been brought against some of
the leading Republicans of the country, we
give the facts as abreviated by the Balti
more Gazette. Verily it would seem that
the baneful examples of the " carpet-bag
thieves" of the South has extended over
the entire country, and the National Legis
lature has become as corrupt as those of
States controlled by carpet-baggers, only the
members of the former hold themselves at
higher figures.
It appears that when the Union Pacific
Railway was chartered by Congress, one of
the incorporators named in that instrument
was Colonel Henky S. McComu, and
when, for the purpose of taking the con
tracts for building the road, the Credit
Mobilier was organized under a Pennsyl
vania charter, Colonel McComu became
also a member of the new corporation, and
with his associates shared in the profits,
which were enormous. How enormous
they were may best be understood when
we state the fact thai the cost of construct
ing the road was less than $20,000,000, and
that the Credit Mobilier received, from
Government susidies, and from mortgage
bends and other sources, $111,61S 52. In
other words, the profits accruing to " tLe
King" composing the Credit Mobilier
amounted to $S5,G13 52.
A suit has since been instituted by Col.
McComii, in the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, against the Credit Mobilier, and
it is particularly interesting as developing
the mode by which Congress was influ
enced, not only to release the first mPrt
gage bonds of the Pacific Railroad Com
pany, which was held by the Government,
and authorize a second mortgage instead,
but also to consent to pay the company oi e
half the cost of transporting GovernmeLt
troops, munitions of war, provisions, &c,
instead of applying the whole cost of trans
portation to the reduction of the interest
that the Government was, and still is, pay
ing on the S27,00O,O0O of bonds it bad en
dorsed for the company. To obtain the
release of these obligations and liabilities,
and thus increase immensely the value of
the stock of the Union Pacific Railroad
Ring, known as the Credit Mobilier, it be
comes necessary to bring such incentives
to bear upqn prominent members of Con
gress as should induce them to advocate
the measure. At that Lnie one of the
principal Directors of the Union Pacific
Railroad, and also a Director and the lead
ing spirit of the Credit Mobilier Ring, was
Mr. Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts, one
of tho Radical members of Congress from
Massachusetts. To him, according to the
testimony of Colonel McComb, was en
trusted the office of bribing members of
Congress, which was done by distributing
among them shares of stock in the Credit
Mobilier. To whom this stock was dis
tributed, and how many shares were cred
ited to each, will appear from the following
list, as furnished Colonel McComii by Mr.
Oakes Ames. Here it is :
SkArti
Blaine, of Maine 3.000
Patterson, of New Hampshire. 1 S,000
Wilson, of Massachusetts S.000
Fainter, Rep., for Quigley 3,CC0
S. Coif ax, speaker 8,000
ScoUeldand Kelley, Pennsylvania, each . . S.000
Klliot, Massachusetts 3,000
Dawes, Massachusetts 2,003
Fowler, Tennessee 2,000
Bout well, Massachusetts-- Z.000
Bingham and Garfield, Ohio, each 2,000
Endorsed : Oakes Ames, January 30, 18C8
In further confirmation of the above,
Colonel McComu has filed in tho court in
which the suit is now pending, a letter ad
dressed to him by Oakes Ames, from
which we extract the following passage :
" You say I must not put too much in
one local' ty. I have assigned as far as I
have given four from Massachusetts ; one
from New Hampshire , one, Delaware ;
one, Tennessee ; one-half, Ohio ; two,
Pennsylvania ; one, Indiana ; one, Maine;
and I hava three to place, which shall
put where they will do most good to us. I
am here on the spot, and can better judge
where they should go. I think after this
dividend is paid we should make our cap
ital $1,000,000, and distrioute the new
stock where it will protect us. Let them
have tha stock at par and profits made m
the future. The 50 per cent, increase on
the old stock 1 want for distribution here,
and soon."
The mauner in which the act of bribery
was covered up, is thus described, on what
is said to be the authority of oue of the
counsel for Colonel McCome.
" He (Ames) would first hand the mem
ber or Senator a certificate of stock, and
tell him it. was a good thing. If asked
how much money was required he would
say, 'Not a cent at preseut? Then in a
few weeks lie would again pay a visit and i
hand the gentleman a check drawn by the j
Treasurer of the Credit Mobilier, and say : '
'Here is your first dividend.' This fist :
dividend was sufficient to pay for the stock
at its nominal value."
That the dividends were sufficient to do
this, is shown by the following extract
from Colonel McComb's testimony :
. Q. What dividend was declared on the
Credit Mobilier stock after the delivery of
the Ames contract ? A. My books show
that I received January 4, 18d8, 60 per
cent. Union Pacific Railroad stock, 38$ per
ceut. Union Pacific Railroad stock, 80 per
cent. Union Pacific Railroad bonds ; above
dividend was on 750 shares ; February 8 I
got from it in dividends, 80 shares of stock
of Credit Mobilier; June 17 I received 30
per cent, in Union Pacific Railroad stock,
with 00 per cent, in cash, on 850 shares;
July 3, 1808, 75 per cent, in stock and 75
per cent, in Union Pacific Railroad bonds
on 850 shares ; September 3, 75 per cent,
in bonds and 100 per cent, in stock ; De
cember 19, 200 per cent, in stock. In ad
dition to this there was 144 per cent, in
gold paid in January, 1808, Credit Mobilier
stock, and 12 per cent, in gold for cash
dividends.
We have thus given the substare of the
astounding revelations which were made
public, for the first time, a few days ago.
Mr. Blaine, who is of the parties im
plicated, is the only one who has thus far
undertaken to give the charge, as concerns
himself, what the New York Times calls
" a broad denial." But it is no such denial
as the gravity of the accusation demands.
It is, as the World justly says, " crafty
" and evasive." He says he never owned
any " stock" in the Credit Mobilier.
The answer of the World is :
"Tho object of Mr. Oakes Ames was not
to make Mr. Blaine and his associates
'owners' of Credit Mobilier stock. He
was not making them a speculative
'present' such as President Grant has so
often received. He was engaging them for
a price to do his work. It was not a work
for them to be proud cf. If Mr. Blaine
received his payment for his part in the
matter, he is by far too astute a ptiaoa to
have taken it in stock. The stock was as
signed to the purpose cf purchasing him,
not to him. He may perfectly well have
pocketed its price without ever fingering
one of the certificates. Did he do this?
If he did not do this then Mr. Oakes
imes has most cruelly slandered him, and
that, too, when there wa3 no occasion for
slandering him and a real risk in slander
ing him. Why should Mr. Oakes Ames
have done this ?"
Why, also, should not Mr. Oakes Ames
be brought forward to testify in the mat
ter? The charge against these prominent
Radicals is not one which can be whistled
down the wind with ' a broad denial." It
is one that has to lxs met. The testimony
is of record. Its truth has been affirmed
by Colonel McComb under oath, and is
further substantiated by letters under Mr.
Oakes Ames' own hand. And if we are
not henceforth to look upon Congress as a
hot-bed of all that is base and corrupt,
Messrs. Blaine, Bouiwkll, Wilson,
Dawes, Colfax, Bingham and their as
seciates, must, individually, and severally,
44 rise to explain," and it is their bounden
duty to see that their explanation is net
only satisfactory to themselves, but to the
people, whose servants they are, without
respect to party lines.
Correspondence between Cant. Ashe
and Judge Merrimon.
We find, in our Raleigh exchanges, the
following correspondence between Judge
Merrimon and Capt. S. A. Ashe. It is
both interesting and important as defining
Judge Merrimon's exact views in regard to
the position to which it is so generally be
lieved he was legally elected.
Kaleigh, Sept. 12, 1871.
My Dear Sib: As much has been said
with reference to contesting the i-esult of
our late election, and as our political
friends feel a deep interest in the matter,
I take the liberty of requesting you to state
your purpose in the premises, with the
view of having your reply published for
general information.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.,
S. A. Ashe.
Hon. A. S. Merbimon,
Raleigh, N. C.
Raleigh, Sept. 12th, 1872.
Mv Dear Sir: Your letter of to-day,
inquiring whether it is my purpose to
contest the late election for Governor at
the approaching session of the General
Assembly, or not, has just been handed
to me.
When, in May last, I accepted the nomi
nation for Governor, made by the Greens
boro' convention, I became the candidate
of a great party and such other citizens as
might choose to honor me with their votes
for that high office, and thereby grave
duties were devolved upon me. Not the
least among them was that of securing to
tht State and those who voted for me, the
lawful fruits of the bailot-box.
I am satisfied by a great variety of facts
and circumstances that have come to my
knowledge, and by incontrovertible evi
dence already in the possession of the Ex
ecutive Committees, that enormoas frauds
were perpetrated at the election, and that
numbers of illegal votes were cast against
me and the other candidates associated
with me on the Democratic-Conservative
ticket for State offices. I sincerely believe
that we each, received a majority of the
lawful votes cast; but whether those who
perpetrated these frauds directly or indi
rectly, did it so artfully as to avoid com
plete legal detection remains to be seen.
I would not think of the grave step of
contesting the election upon slight or cap
tious grounds, or to gratify party caprice;
but if there is substantial ground for doing
so and I believe there is and it can be
made to appear according to law, then if
the people demand it, it will be my duty,
and I will add, my pleasure to contest it,
and I shall do so at the instance of the peo
ple. If on the other hand, in the opinion
of friends competent to judge of such mat
ters, sufficient proof of frauds actually per
petrated, cannot be made, to contest suc
cessfully, I will not attempt a fruitless un
dertaking. I do not desire to engage in an
unavaling controversy, and I am sure the
people do not.
But I have the most abundant informa
tion to satisfy me that the great body of
the people throughout the State who sup
ported me, and those associated with me,
believe such gross frauds were perpetrated
and desire that such contest shall be made,
if sufficient proof can be produced to make
it successful not otherwise.
So that if it turns out upon the examina
tion now being made by my friends through
the Executive Committees that substantial
ground for contest can be established I will
contest llie election and vindicate the
rights of the people, and as I believe, the
beat interests of the State and country by
so doing, to the utmost of my capacity and
to the last extremity.
1 will not do jMiythidg rashly or unad
visedly, or to gratify party spirit or politi
cal revenge ; but I will do everything that
is just and lawful to establish the right
1 believe this is the spirit and deter
mination of my associates on our State
ticket.
I am, &c, very truly yours,
A. S. Mir Kin mon.
S. A. AfnE, Esq., Raleigh, N. C.
What a Day will Bring: Forth!
Last Wednesday was emphatically a
Greeley Day. The seeming lull in the
movement in his favor was broken in upon
in various States by the most stirring
events. The striking feature of the day
was the unanimity with which Democrats
and Liberal Republicans agreed, not only
upon common plans of action, but com
mon candidates. The future is full of
hope and full of promise.
The following is the record of the day's
doings : In Massachusetts the Convention
of the two parties met in Worcester, en
dorsed the Cincinnati-Baltimore Platform,
and united in nominating a ticket for State
officers, at the head of which stands Sena
tor Charles Sumner.
Massachusetts Democrats could give no
stronger proof of a desire to let the dead
past bury its dead, than in giving in their
adhesiou to the nomination of Charles
Sumner. It may not, indeed, be possible
to carry Massachusetts for Mi. Greeley,
but wheu two Conventions meet in that
State, one a Republican Convention, pre
sided over by N. P. Banks, and the other
a Democratic Convention, and jointly
uominate Charles Sumner for Governor
against the Radical Grant candidate, it
gives undeniable evidence of a great up
heaval in political affairs.
In Connecticut the two parties assembled
in joint Convention in Hartford, to nomi
nate an Electoral ticket. The greatest en
thusiasm prevailed in that State also.
The electoral ticket, composed of Demo
crats and Liberal Republicans, is an ex
ceedingly able one, and will sweep the
State in November beyond any question.
Indeed, it will require the grossest mis
management on the part of our fi iends
there to lose the State after their prudent
action and excellent nominations of last
week.
In New Hampshire the Democrats and
Liberals held their Conventions in Con
cord, in adjoining halls. The Electoral
Ticket agreed upon by the Conventions is
conceded to be a very strong one, and
will carry the State if our friends will
make proper exertions. In the afternoon,
by invitation, the Democrats visited the
Liberal Convention in a body, and were
enthusiastically received.
In Kansas the Conventions of the two
parties met in Topeka, and agreed upon
a platform and division of offices between
the two parties.
In New Jersey the Conventions met in
Tieuton, and nominated a joint Electoral
Ticket amid great enthusiasm. General
George B. McClellan is oe of the candi
dates for Elector for the State at large.
In Maryland the Democratic Convention
nominated for Greeley Electors, for the
State at large, a Democrat and a Liberal
Republican.
In Michigan, on thesame day, in the
Ninth Congressional District, a joiit Con
vention was held, and a strong Greeley
nomination made.
In Pennsylvania the action of the Liberal
Republican State Executive Committee, on
the same day, was equally significant, iu
nominating ex-Governor Curtin as a dele
gate for the State at large to the Constitu
tional Convention to meet iu that State.
Governor Curtin has accepted the nomina
tion, and the weight of his great iu 11 ucuce,
thrown in the scale just at this critical
time, will decide the contest against the
Administration beyond the possibility of a
doubt. It will be remembered that Gov
ernor Curtin has just returned from
Russia, where he has been representing
the United States Government as its Em
bassador. All parties have been anxiously
awaiting his return and seeking to obtain
the advantage of bis great influence aud
popularity. He has at last avowed him
self, and Pennsylvania is sure to go against
the Administration, both in October and
November.
On the same day Senator Schurz
addressed a monster meeting of Germans
in Cincinnati in their native language.
Thousands of other citizens were as
sembled around the "English stands,"
where addresses were delivered.
Ou the same day Gratz Brown, our can
didate for the Vice-Piesideucy, spoke at
Indianapolis to an immense crowd.
In Louisville, Kentucky, there was on
the same day an immense Peace Reunion.
Th city was filled with strangeis to hear
the distinguished men assembled there
from every quarter of the country to ad
drefcS them.
Verily, the Greeley movement is neither
dead nor sleeping !
LOCAL.
.
We agree in toto with the I2obesoniat
when it says : We hear many regrets ex
pressed at the resignation of Capt. F. M.
Wooten, the clever and universally popu
lar conductor on the Wilmington, Char
lotte & Rutherford Railroad. The world
has- never seen a more perfect gentleman,
and we are sure the road will feel the los3
of so efficient and worthy an officer.
We will be glad to receive commnnica
tions from our friends everywhere in this
section, keeping us fully posted on all mat
ters occurring in their '.tmaeuiate neigh
borhoods. We will appreciate, kindly, the
efforts of such friends as will second our
request.

The Goldsboro' Fair. We have re
cieved the Premium List for the First
Annua! Fair of the Farmers' and Mechan
ics' Association of North Carolina, to be
held at Goldsboro', October 22d, 23rd, 24th,
and 25th. It makes a splendid showing
and the inducements offered should cer
tainly attract a large number of visitors
and exhibitors.
David Dickson, Esq , the great cotton
planter of Georgia, will deliver an Address
on Agricultural subjects, on Wednesday,
October 23rd, at 11:30, A. M.
His Excellency Gilbert C. Walker, Gov
ernor of Virginia, is expected, and will de

Wilmington. The following, from the
Battleboro Adcawc, we would commend
to the attention of agricultural communi
ties everywhere in the Old North State :
In this issue of the Advance will be found
a number of advertisements from the mer
chants of Wilmington. As a market for
naval stores and cotton, it is equal to any
iu the country, aud, being our chief com
mercial city, should be patronized by our
people. As a grocry maiket, especially
for molasses aud salt, it is said to be supe
rior to any other- Parlies iu this section,
who shipped cotton to Wilmington last
season, obtaiucd prices equal to those ob
tained in the Noitheru markets, aud the
commission merchants who advertise in
the Advance are all safe, prompt and reli
able business men. They appeal to the
merchants aud farmers of this tectum to
give them a trial, and they guarantee to do
at least as well for them as can be done
outside the State.
They do not ask for patronage at any
sacrifice on the part of North Carolina,
but they do reasonably claim, where equal
advantages are olfered, that wc should en
courage our home market, for in building
up Wilmington we are helping North Car
olina, and in helping her we are helping
ourselves.
C AlrET-i AG I s m in North Carolina is,
to say the least, not synonymous with
honesty in its official relations wi:h tle
State. Its record is a stench in the nos
trils of our people, and to flaunt its em
blems in their eyes is justly offensive.
When, therefore, one Nason, of New
born, offers a premium through the Fair
of the Farmer's and Mechanic's Associa
tion of North Carolina, to be held at
Goldsboro' next month, of ten dollars to
the lady making the best carpet-bag neck
tie, tha bow to resemble a carpet-bag, and
it is heralded as "a chance or the ladies,"
he displays a sbamelessness which, at
least, should not have been encouraged
and endorsed by an Agricultural Association.
THE GOLDEN TOUCH.
Once upon a time there lived a very rich
King, whose name was Midas, and he had
a little daughter, named Marygold. This
King was fonder of gold than anything
else in the world, but he loved nearly as
well his little daughter, who was a merry,
lovable child. But the more he loved his
child the more he desired wealth, for he
thought, foolish man, that the best thing
he could leave thia dear child, was the
biggest heap of yellow shining coin that
had ever been heaped together since the
world was made. So he gave all his
thoughts and all his time to this oue pur
pose. It he gazed at the gold-tinted clouds
of sunset, he wished they were real gold,
and could be squeezed into his strong box.
If he stirred the fire, and the sparks flew
crackling up the chimney, he wished some
fairy would turn them into golden coin for
him, and, in fact, his whole thoughts ran
upon gold, gold, gold, till he almost ceased
to care for anything else.
In his earlier days, before this insane
desire for riches seized him, King Midas
had been fond of flower3, and had planted
a garden in which grew the largest, sweet
est and most beautiful roses that any mor
tal ever saw, but now, if he ever looked at
them, it was to calculate how much they
would be worth were all the roses turned
to gold.
At last Midas got so unreasonable in his
passion for money, that he spent nearly all
bis time in a dark, strong room in the
vaults of the palace, where he kept his
money. Here, after locking the door, he
would take out his bags of coin and count
them over, or sift the gold dust through
his fingers, or toss up tho bars of gold and
catch them as they came down, and lie
never was so happy as when thus em
ployed. One day, as King Midas was in his
treasure -room, he saw a shadow fall upon
the. heaps of gold, and looking up, what
should he bhold but the figure of a
stranger standing iu the bright and narrow
sunbeam that fell from the iron-barred
window. It was a young man with a
cheerful and iiiddyface. Ai King Midas
knew he had carefully locked the door, he
of course concluded at onco that some
fairy had visited hiin. The stranger gazed
about the room, and wheu his lustrous
smile had glistened upon all the golden
objects thore, he turner: to Midas:
"You are a wealthy man, friend Midas!"
lie observed; "1 doubt whether any other
four walls on earth contain so much gold
as you have contrived to pile up in "this
room."
1 have done pretty well, pretty well,"
answered Midas, in a discontented lone;
"but after all it is but a trifle, ben you
consider that it has taken me my whole
life to get it U gather, if one would live a
thousand jears he might have time to grow
rich."
u nai : men are you not satisiicu : ' ex
claimed the stranger. ' Midas shook his
head.
'k And pray what would satisfy you ?
Merely f v the curiosity of the thing, I
should like to know," said the stranger.
iiidas paused and meditated. He fel;
confident that the stranger, with such a
golden lustre in his g'xd-humoied smile,
had come hither with both the power and
the will to gratify his utmost wishes; that
now was the fortunate moment when he
had but to speak and get whatever he
chose to ask, and so he thought and
thought. At last a bright idea occuired to
him, and, raising 1 is head, he looked the
lustrous st:angr in the face.
" Well, Midas, I see that you have at
length hit upon something that will satisfy
you. Tell me your wih."
" It is only this," replied Midas; 44 1 am
weary of collecting my treasures with so
much trouble. I wish everything 1 touch
could be changed to gold."
4i The Golden Touch !" exclaimed the
strangei; 44 you certainly deserve credit,
fi rend Midas, for your ambitious wish.
But you are quite sure this will satisfy
you?"
41 How could it fail ?" said Midas.
44 And will you never regret the posses
sion of it ?"
" Why should I ?" asked Midas. 44 1
ask nothing else to render me perfectly
happy ?"
" Be it as you wish, then," replied the
stranger, moving his hand in token of fare
well; "to-morrow at sunrise you will find
yourself gifted with the Golden Touch."
The figure of the. stranger theu became
exceedingly bright, aud Midas, dazzled,
shut his eyes. On opening them again, he
beheld only the yellow sunshine iu the
room. King Midas hardly closed his eyes
that night, iu his anxiety for the morning,
and the day-god had hardly peeped over the
hills, when he was broad awake, ar-d be
gan to touch the objects within reach. He
was grieveously disappointed to see that
they remained exactly as before, and he
lay in a very discoidate mood, thinking
over the promise of the stranger, Ire now
feared would not come true, until a bright
sunbea-u shone through and gilded the ceil
ing overhead.
Ami he thought the sunbeam reflected
queerly on the white coverlet of the bed.
Looking closely at it, what was hisTiston
ishment and delight to find that this linen
cloth had changed into what seemed a wo
ven texture cf the purest and brightest
gold. Golden Touch had come to him
wilh the fiist sunbeam.
Midas started up in a kind of joyful frenzy,
and ran about the rexm, grasping at every
thing. He seized one ofthe bed-posts, and
it immediately became a column of fluted
gold. He look up a liook, and on running
his fingers' through the leaves, behold it
was a bundle of thin golden plates. He
put on his clothes, and was enraptured to
see himself in a magnificent suit of gold
cloth, which retained its flexibility. Midas
now took his spectacles from his px-ket
and put ihem on his nose, but discovered
he could not fee through them; taking
them off, he found the glass to be plates of
thin gold, and of course worthless as spec
tacles. 1 his last annoyed Midas, but he
saul, "it rs no great matter alter all ; we
cannot expect any great good without
some small inconvenience with it."
Wise King Midas was so exalted with
j his good fori lines that, the piUaee. seeiuod
not spacious enough to bold him. He
I therefore went down into the garden.
Here he found a great number of beautiful
! flowers iu full hkm and others in bud.-
i Very delicious was their fragrance, but
j Midas knew a way to make them more
! precious, and so he took great pains to go
j from bush to bush and touch each flower
and bud, and soon every one o thein, an 1
j even the little worms :.nd insects on them,
: were changed to glittering metal.
J Midas then went in to'breakfost, aud as
j the moruing air and hiseaily walk had
I given him ;u .i; petite, he was ready for a
hearty nn-al. Little MarygoJd had not yet
j m m! her pp araoce. so telling a servant
: t..e.ll ! -!. .-.i. down to the table to be
gin his own nreakfast. It was not long
before he beard his little daughter coming
along the hall, crying bitterly. This su
prised him, for Marygold was one of those
delightful children who are always cheer
ful and happy, and her father did not
know what to think.
As Marygold opened the door, sobbing
as if her heart would break, her father
said: "How now, my little daughter !
Pray what is the matter this fine morn
ing ?" Murygold, without taking her
apron from her eyes, held out her hand,
in which was one of the roses w hich Midas
had so recently changed to gold.
'Ah, dear father," sobbed the child, "as
soon as 1 was dressed! ran iuto the garden
to -'tl er se ine roses for you, because I
know you like them, especially when
gatircd for you by your little daughter.
Bdvfoh dear, dear me ; what do you think
has happened ? Such a misfortune ! All
the beautiful roses 'that smell ed so sweet
are blighted and spoilt.;- What can be the
matter with them?" :
44Poohl pooh 1 my little girl," replied her
father. "You. can easily exchange one
of those golden roses for a hundred of the
ordinary kind. Sit down and eat your
bread and milk.' Midas meanwhile had
poured out a cup of colfee, and as ns lifted
a spoonful to his hps and sipped he, was
astonished to perceive that the instant' his
lips touched the liquid it became molten
gold, and the next minute hardened into a
lump. . - .
He then took up one of the littlei trout
on his plate. To his horror it was inline,
diately changed into a gold fish that looked
as if it had been made by the beat gold
smith in the world. It was , beautiful to
look at axid very valuable, no doubt, only
King Midas " just at that moment would
much rather it had remained a real trout,
. don't quite see," he thought to him
self, "how 1 am to get any breakfast ; this
is a little too much of a good tiling." lie
took up one of tho smoking cakes ; it be
came a heap of yellow gold. Almost in
despair, he helped himself to a boiled egg,
and it was at once like one of those tl?e
famous goose in story-book was in the
habit of laying. '"Well, this is a quandary,
such a costly breakfast and nothing to cat,"
thought he, leaning back iu the chair and
looking quite enviously at little Marygold,
who was eating her bread and milk with
great satisfaction. Already ho was hun
gry; what would he be 'by dinner time?
and how ravenously hungry by supper.
How many days could lie stand it.
Here, so great was his hunger that ho
groaned aloud, and pretty little Marygold
started from her chair, and running to Mi
das, threw her arms alloc! ioualely about
his knees. He bent dowu and kissed her ;
he felt that his little daughter's love was
worth a thousanel times more than the
gold ho had gained by the Golden Touch.
4'My precious, precious Marygold," said
he. But Marygold made no atjsvver. Ala.",
what h;ul he done? How fatal was the
gift the stranger had bestowed ! The min
ute the lips of Midas touched I he forehead
of his lit tie daughter, a chaugej had taken
place. Her sweet, rosy face, so full of i..ve
as it had been, assumed a glittering yellow
color, with yellow tear-drops congealing u
her cheeks. Her beautiful blown curls
became spirals of gold filagree. Her soft
aud flexible form became hard and r;g:d
in her father's embrac;. vOhl frightful
misfortune. The victim of his insatiable
desire for wealth, Little Marygold was a
human child no longer, but a gulden
statue.
Yea, there she was, with the question
ing look of love and pity hardened in'o
her face. It was tho prettiest and mo.-,t
woeful sight that ever mortal beheld, and
poor Midas, in his grief and horror, felt
now uinmtely a warm and tender heart
that loved him, exceeded in valuo all the
wealth that could be piled up beUeoii the
earth and sky.
Poor Midas, in the very fullness of all
his gratified wishes, began to wring his
hands and bemoan himself; he could not
bear to look at Marygold, nor yet to look
away from her. All the features and
tokens of his child were there ; even the
little dimple in her golden chin. But the
more pel feet the resemblance the tri eater
the father's agony at beholding in this gul
den image all that was left him of his lm
darling pet. Ala3 ! too well had his wish
been granted. So Midas hail only to
wring his hands aud wish that he was the
poorest man in the world, if the lohs of idl
hi3 wealth would only bring back the Lie
into his dearlittle child.
While he was in this tumult rf despair
he suddenly beheld a fclram;er staiioioc:
near the door. Midas bent down b'n h e:
without speaking, for he recognized the
same figure winch had ,'ippc.u-e.l to him
tho day before, in the lreasureroom, and
bestowed on him the Golden Touch.
"Well, friend Midas," said the tt ranger,
"pray how do you succeed with the Golden
Touch?"
Midas wrung his hands." "I in ve-y
miserable," said he.
"Very miserable, indeed ! exclaimed the
stranger, "and how happens that? II iv 1
not faithfully kept my prcmise to you ?
Have you not everything your heart de
sires ?"
"Gold is not everything," replied Midas ;
"and I have lost all that my heart really
cared for."
"Ah, so you have made that discovery?
Let us see then. Which of Uk-mj thing,
do you really thiuk worth the most, the
gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of
clear, cold water?"
"O. lileapil wator '' i.v,.lo! I r;.n.o
"it will never moisten mv oan Ue I

again."
"The Golden 'Touch,' continued tho
stranger, 4 or a crust of bread '"'
"A i iece of bread is worth all the gold
ou earth," replied poor heart-broken Jdidas.
"The Golden Touch, said tl e htran-er,
" or your own little Maryg-'id, w arm, soil
and loving, as she vas an hour ago ?"
" O, my child, my elailing child," said
poor Midas, wringing his hands; "i would
not give that one small dimple m her chin
for the power of changing this whole earth
iuto a solid lump oft,old."
" You are w iser than you were, Kin?
Midas. You see now that tho commonest
things, such as lie within every body's grasp,
are more valuable than the i iclies which so
many mortals sigh and struggle for. Tell
me now, do you (sincerely wish to rid your
self of this Golden T mch :'''
" It is hateful to me," replied Midas.
" Go theu and plunge into the river that
glides past the bottom of jour garden.
Take, likewise, a vase of the .same water
aud sprinkle it over any ohj -ct that you '
may desire to change ba k again from go! 1 I
to its former substance. if you do this in j
earnest sincerity, it may possibly repair j
the mischief you have done with your uva- ;
lice.' !
King Midas bowed low, and wheuli:'
raised Ins head the lustrous stranger had
disapjKjared.
"You will easily believe Ih.el Midas lo.st
no time in snatching up a gieat eaith n
pitcher, that Iweame gold as he touched i(,
j aud hastened to the nver side. As he
j scamiered along every thing le: touched
turned yellow aud Ix-came gold. Uu roach
ling the river's brink he plunged iu hcad
1 long, without waiting so mueh a to pull
oil ins blmes.
"1'iX'f! poof joof'" .snorb'd Midas,
his head emerged out ed" Ihu water.
"Well, Ihh is re ally a ivfieshing bath, nu i
I think it must have piit; wr.rdicd aw.-y
the Golden Touch. Aud now for filling
my pitcher."
As hi; dipped.- ihi pitcher in'o thei waf r
il, gladdened liio heart to tv e h change from
golel into the same: good hon; -tt earthen
vessel which it had Ikmmi. King Midas
.hastened back to the palace, and you need
j not : hardly Ire told Ihe ilibl thing he did
was to sprinkle it by ha'iilftils over the
golden figure of little 'Marjgi 1 1.
No sooner did it fall on" !rr than you
would have laugh"d i see how the rosy
celor came back U the- ear child's cheek,
and liow she beg in to eev.e and sputter,
and how astonished she was to find herself
hipping wet, and her 1 itLer
11 throwing
more w ater en her.
"Pray do not, dear father," cried she;
"see how you have wet my ni-e diess,
which I put on eaily this morning."
For Marygold did not know that she had
been a golden statue, nor recollect anything
that had happened sinc-j the moment wh n
sli2 had ran with utstretched arms toe-om-foirpoor
King Midas. And her father end
not te ll her how iex,irh he had been, hut
