He had lived at different timet in New York, Boston, City of Mexico, Paris, '( Dublin, and Liverpool, but had gravitated . like most geniuses and many lessor lights to the great center of the world London. - .lie was tall, rather tliin, dark xnustaehed ; and haired, wore always a dark brown . velvet coat and light gray trousers, and ' - had a chronic cough, lie had the reputa- tion of being sharp, but then sharpness is - needed in almost all professions, perhaps inost of all in tliat of a theatrical agent. - For he has not only to live ou his own v': wits, but also on the witsof others.. And this Mr. Willougtiby was quite an adept v. in doing. . '' ' -.- lie had been eight months in London, and to judge from tike furniture and ap pointments of Itis office was already doing , welL -t He was very- exclusive and mado , , it very difficult for people to gain access V to him. Up four nights of stairs was his office, and when you got there you found ' , a smiling clerk, to ass -whom was well nigh impossible. . When you did succeed in passing him the agent's cousin, Mr. Digby Arnold, hail to bo coaxed and bul lied lefore you could pass from his little ' . corner ?uploard of a dou into the photo - graph hung, flower scented inner sanctum of tho agent himself. The visitor's proj 7 ress was a good deal like that in tho o'd , fairy tales, where a lion lay at one tirn in the 'path, and a drogon ut another, aid ' an ogre at the third, and soon, and your ' chances of jiassiiig the latter depended always on your giving the right word and ; correct salute to the first. - -Still, there were pleuty of people, and not all of the feminine gender either, wlio : were willing to climb the stairs and waii at the outer doors in order to gain en trance at last to the holy of holies inside . the presence of Mr. Willoughby Arnold. , Finally there came one day .a .young - lady, very neatly, tastefully dressed, and with every pretension to breeding, to tlio outer office and besieged the desk. Her ' business was politely requested of her. ... She named it Engagement, she .hoped. The smiling clerk, not a whit embar- rassed by beauty, breeding, and ashiou, , refused the suggestion. Mr. Arnold's va ' cancies were absolutely fulL He had no ' room for any one. Could not entertain any more applicants. The young lady named a mutual friend, Miss Lawrence Max.- No use; the smil ing clerk distinctly though politely: re-' fused her admittance. Fortunately N for v her,. Mr. Digby Arnold, passing through, saw her and was attracted. " I think perhaps, Austin, my cousin, , (lie sometimes forgot whether lie was a cousin or a brother, a little careless, this Digby) might find time to see this young . lady." . " Miss Lamont was highly grateful. She Iiad given her name as Helen Lamont. -Austin opened a little wicket and .Miss Lamont entered office number one. In a few moments she had completely subju gated Digby and was cosily seated in of ' iice numlcr two. ' From where she sat she could near Willougliby cough. -"; . "Some one with a very bad cold," she prettily hazarded. My brother Willougliby , " responded Digby.'' "I am sure I can get him to sec you. .

"A good premium,' whispered Digby in the next room to Mr. Willoughby, seated at a long table strewn with letters, books, trifles of art and beauty, flowers, and photogK'plis,, II held a white silk handkerchief to his face, aud wore , the famous brown velvet coat.

Through her brain rushed this sentence : - "Remember, he can be identified any-, where by a triangular gash most re markabledirectly under the nose." " I beg your pardon, " she exclaimed, letting the book fall, "I am a little nerv ous, I suppose. Do you think I shall do?" Willoughby, . who was now attacker by very intense coughing, signified hi pleased surprise at her reading. "You might do very welL - lean niakr an appointment here with Arden, th manager old Jolm Arden very nic old man kind, and all thnt-any tinu you like.

"Then, if I pay the premium yoiLare sure to get the manager here to meet me Mr. Arden 2" ..'.-: ; v "... "Oh, certain!" replied the suffering Willoughby.

" With that she departed, and she took n strange direction for so pretty a youn. lady, for she went straight to Scotland Yard. "I have found him," said she."

' Next day about 4 o'clock Mr. Willough by Arnold, of Garrick street, alias a good many other people, and a notorious for ger and embezzler, was quietly waited upon by an arm of the law.

Editorially, the Wilmington Star of the 10th, inst, says : 'It is now twenfy-five rears since the close cf th6 war and still there is a class cf politicians in the Korth, who hare their echoes, coadjutors and toots in the South, who profess to believe that the South' is not yet fally reconstructed, They, pre tend to believe, and try to make the world believe, that the Sooth is a lawless, mob governed sectiou wbere only certain classes have any recognized rights,, and that the man whether white or black who differs from these ; certain ' classes and baa the bo daesa to claim any rights and attempt, to exercise them does to at his peril. ; This has been the justification for all the partisan, ecciional legislation which has been enacted or attempted, and this was the justification lor the infamous Force bill in the last Congrees which was defeated ouly after the most prolonged, stubborn and masterly battle by the Democrats iu the Senate, sided by a few liberal-mi uded ard honest Republicans, One of the best evidences of the peace fulness and the law abiding character of a community is the progress of the industries of that section, for there can be no prog ress worth speaking of where law and order are ignored and where the labor npon which progress depends ia Dot so treated as to make in reliable and contented. It is a well known fact that a very large pro. portion of the labor of tie South, especially in tho fields, is com posed of colored men. that element which these political agitators and alanderers say are oppressed and per. secnUd and are allowed no rights or privi lege which the white man of the Democratic School does not think it well for them to have. ; '. And yet the facts and results of colored men's labor show that there are no more contented laborers in the world than the eolortd laborers of the Southern States, whether on the sn?sr,and cotton planta tions of Louisiana and Misaiifelppi. or on the cotton and tobacco field of North Car olina and Virginia. Figaros prove this. From IbVi to !. the yield of cotton , in the Uouth was in round figures a ,000.000 bides. In 1S(0 extra exertions brought the crop op to nearly 5,000 000. the largest ever raised up tO Will IHIIO. JEiVUl IPUJ IU IDIU, HIUU political adventurers and vampires were in the ascendency and disorganized labor by making the colored laborer believe that politic was the chief aim of life, the crop was smalu bat ia 1875 when tho adventu. rers and vampires were overthrown and betook themselves to more congenial climes, and labor became better organized the crop oecran to increase and crow steadily from 4,000.000 bales until in 188! 90 il reached 7.297.117 bales, nearly double iu nfteeii years. And this was done mainly by the ostruciHed, oppressed labor over which these Northern politicians spill so much lurid rhetoric and ahed so many bypocritL cal tears. -! The tobicco crop and nearly all ibe other crops, also, of the boa th have nearly doubled since loti.. Ana this nas been done with oat any increase of labor from abroad, for i his increase, while there a .8 been some, has not been enough to form sfuctor worth considering in the matter of production. : But this in not all, for while the South was incrensing her cotton crop, her tobacco crop, and other crops so largely from year to year, great veins of coal and iron were being oprned, thousand of new industries established, cottou factories multiplied, great smeltinz furniccs erected, aud the South sprung from a purely agricultural sectiou into a great manufacturing section too, not only competing in some of her industries with the long established indus tries of other sections but distancing and leaving them behlud. In the manufacture, of cotton goods ahe is not only holding her own with the inhU of New England but in many lines of gqode baa takeu the trade away from her, while iu the manufacture of pig iron she not ouly holds her own with Pennsylvania but buips it to i'itts' burg aud Philadelphia and sells it for less than the Pennsylvania smc.ters can afford to put it upon the market. Do not these tacts carry-their owu com ment aud furnish au absolute refutation of the stereotyped slanders that have ben the slock iu trade of certain po.iticiaua for the past twenty-five years Chaos and progress ore incompatible, and if the Sauth wore, one-teuth as chaotic as they represent her to be each continuous procrt S3 and development would be simply impossible. 1 THE HOKE PAPER.
