ATTACK UPON A JOURNALIST.—This morning about 11 o'clock, Judge Dent, brother of Mrs. President Grant, visited the Capital office, on 11th street, and on inquiring for Mr. Reed, one of the editors, was directed to his room, up stairs. Ca.ling Mr. Keed’s attention to an article in yeaterday’s Capital, he asked who the author was. Mr. Reed replied that he was re- sponsible for it; whereupon Judge D. pro- nounced it false, and called upon Mr. Reed to defend himee: Then raising a walking stick, he struck Mr. Reed several times over the head, breaking the cane. Mr. Reed by this time was on his feet, and, seizing the judge, a scufile en- sued for the possession of the cane, or the rem nantof itin the hands of the latter, At this juncture some of the staff of the paper who were down stairs, hearing the nolse of the scuttle, came up and separated the combatants. Officer Roderick being near at hand was called in and took the assailant into custody, and filed information in the police court charging Mr. Dent with assault and battery on Hensy Bee ‘The hearing was postponed until to-morrow, Mr. Dent entering into personal recognizance 11) the sum of $200 for his appearance to answer. Mr. Reed received two scalp wounds and a cut near the lett eye, which is somewhat bruised, the wound being probably made by the splintered end of the cane after it was breken. The above isa history of the case, as stated before the Police Court to-day. Mr. Reed and his friends assert that the assault was made without any explanation except the question aeked by Judge Dent, as to the responsibility of the paper for what it had printed. after Mr. Reed had answered Judge Dent's interrogatory in the affirmative, he asserts that the judge seized his (Mr. Reed’s) hickory cane lying on the table, and without a word of explanation began to belabor him with it over the head. Mr. Reed turther says that Judge D. did not cali upon him to defend himself, but assaulted bins as he was sitting with his feet cramped under the table, and that fora moment or two he was unable to offer any resistance to the blows showered upon him. THE ATTICLE THAT CAUSED THE APPRAY. The following is the articie in the Capital that led to the visit of Judge Dent to that office. west is made in the New York #un for Mr. J. H. Withey, banker, of Port Byron New York. It appears that William J. Farrand re- ceived trom President Grant the appointment 28 consul at Callao, in consideration for which bod vcr in cash to Louis Dent, a brother- in law of General Grant, two thonsand five hun- dred dollars, and to General F. T. Dent, also a brother-ii of the President, one thousand dollars. Afterwards Mr. Farrand negotiated further wiih the Dental brothers-in-law for the appointment of Mr. Withey as commissioner so settle the claims of citizens of the United States against Peru, for which he paid to Gen- eral F. T. Dent, brother-in-law as ateresaid, the sum of three thousand dollars in cash at the Astor House in New York. It appears, how- ever, that although the bargain was completed amd the consi office was given \deration paid, pod weenie oreie it into each’ otde p hace opportuni ying ol an which it would’ have aiforded, Upon this the Sui a “Now the unsettl EVENING STAR, | Fu Wisuinetox to TE cuir. | 3. ly of America.” IDA HOM. "to land here’? Well, [ hope you'l the old lady in good humor. They say awful snappish with callers sometome The speaker was a Georgia preacher of the cracker persuasion—iank and yellow—who with his lank and yellow wife had been w Green Spring, Florida, an¢ water for their livers’ dressed was the undersigned, a gang-plank of the little steamer Darlington, the shore-end of which plank was little pier at Mandarin, t e Mrs. Harriet Beecher $ Mrs. Stowe, like the overrun rural gentleman in the farce, has the disady ing at just “A CONVENIENT DISTANCE FROM THE CITY,” some filteen miles above Jacksonville, and as about the first inquiry of the thirty or forty thousand visitors who now “do” the St. John’s river annually is for Mrs. Stowe’s place, it hap- pers that not only are there a good many lorg- nettes leveled at Mandarin from the river boats, but a good many people land there, and exer- cise their lion-hunting mania in a way to cause the subject no little annoyance. I have heard various instances of the pertinacity of callers, who without credentials or any claims whatever upon Mrs. Stowe’s attention, make themselves quite at home upon the premises, helping them- selves to oranges, breaking off flowers and twigs as mementos, pulling aside curtains and peer- ing into windows over Mrs. Stowe’s shoulders when she is wi me: and with some the spirit of research carries the: question the servants as to the housekeeping ar- Tangements. It would searcely be possible for a woman—and a Beecher—not to resent imper- tinences of this kind, to the extent, at least, of shutting the window in the face of the offenders; but, on the other hand, I heard on all sides ac- knowledgments of the courtesy with which selt- respecting visitors are treated at Mandarin. In fact, the people of Florida are great believers in Mrs. Stowe, as they should be, as her bright and eloquent descriptions of Florida life and scenery have done more to call attention to the interesting teatures of the State than any other cause. But to return to the gang-plank of the Dar- lington;—being provided with a kind letter of introduction to Mrs. Stowe from a literary friend, I conelvded, despite the warning of my Cracker fellow-traveler, to at least pay my respects to the author of * Uncle Tom's Cabin,’ and, as the result, passed an exceedingly pleas- ant day. “MANDARIN” is little more than a boat-landing—the first on the river above Jacksonville—with a store, no hotel, and a straggling iine of houses along the river. A carriage track runs straight up from the little pier to the country and neigh- borbood grocery and variety store. A couple of hundred yards to the left is Mrs. Stowe’s modest and picturesque Florida home. I followed a plank-walk through a lux- uriant fringe of swamp vegetation, and up a bank to a coffee-colored, many-gabled cottage— an unpretending wooden structure, such as wouid cost perhaps $2,000 in a northern village. it was shaded yy two enormous live oaks, heavily loaded with trailing moss; and up the trunks of these monster oaks crept two bands of bright green—the Scotch and English ivy,—contrasting in their colors agreeaply with each other and with the gray moss aud the green of the small willow- d lea’ of the oaks. Surrounding the house was a grove of orange trees,—round-headed and cabbage- shaped, after the fashion of this not particularly gracetul tree, but with the stiffness of their wiggy spray somewhat relieved by the infection of moss caught from the over-hanging oaks The gleam of the white-washed trunks of the orange grove, also, served to set off the shady recesses of the cottage verandas with a flavor o additional cosiness and coolness on this brigh sunny day. Entering the shade, there was a puzzling concert from unseen mocking birds. ‘The whole grove was vocal with them, but no & wing was visible. 1 learned afterwards tha they haunt the orange tree, finding a secure retreat and building-place in’ the close-matted ge. Mocking birds, by the way, are rather @ drug in Florida. ‘They prey upon the smal! fruits to @ devastating extent. and the people don’t dote on them, but I sappose Mra. Stowe thinks it fair to divide with them in exchange tor their delightful, if not marketable notes. A. piquant charm of the Florida mocking bird to the northern ear is that its notes are imitations Of the notes of the wild birds of that region. PROFESSOR STOWE. Following the path, I came in front of the house. Upon the veranda, comfortably seated in @ roomy carpet-chair was a stout, genia! looking gentleman—Professor Stowe, though I did not know it at the time; having somehow got the mistaken notion that he was of the thin, dyspeptic type of scholarly men. In a certain leonine port, carriage of the head, abundance ot hair,and amplitude of chest, he reminded m+ of our Walt Whitman and Albert Pike. Pamph lets, magazines and books were scattered over the floor of the veranda, or were tucked in th» U shaped seroil-work of the wooden columns of the porch, for handy use.
