Irf reference to the tears that are pro.
fessed to be shed by the Radicals over
the unfortunate killing of Chisolm, Gen
Hill says in his Southern Home:
“We have been taken with a lit of
weeping, also. We weep that th
called Christian editor should tell the
monstrous falsehood that Chisholm was
slain for his political opinions. That edi
tor knew that Chisholm was killed hecaus.
he was believed to have instigated the
murder of John W. Gully, and many
other crimes in Kemper county. We
weep that Yankee soldiers shot in cold
blood so many Methodist ministers dur
ing the war, and burnt more than a hun
dred Methodist churches. The ministers
and tire churches were non-combatants,
and’ the Bashi-Bazouks would have
spared them. We weep that in time of
profound peace a mob from the pious
city of Boston burned a Catholic convent
filled with innocent girls, and tried to
murder the Lady Superior, firing repeat
edly at her. We are specially afflicted
that the Governor of Massachusetts took
no steps to bring the rioters to justice.
They are now black-guarding Gov. Stone
of Mississippi, for not doing what the
Governor of Massachusetts failed to do.
Wo are very sorry and penitent, too, be
cause one of the largest and wealthiest
congregations in the loyal North listens
to the preaching of a beastly fellow, and
the tears of penitential sorrow chase each
other down our cheeks, as we think of the
thousands all over the North who go to
hoar this animal lecture. Our soul is
filled with contrition for loyal sins when
wo think of that mob at Seymour, Indi
ana, who killed tho jailor and took out
eight suspected horse thieves and hung
them by the neck until they died. That
monument to Miss Chisholm is all very
well. She was a rc-al heroine and died
in defense of her father. But the jailer
died in defense of alleged criminals, in
whom he felt no interest. Surely his was
tho nobler death. Pass around the hat
-for a contribution for a monument to the
gallant jailer of Seymour, Indiana.

To the Editor of the G'ouricr-:
The wheat in this county has now all
been harvested, but not all saved. A
week before harvesting began, the
promise for an abundant yield was ex
ceptionally good. About this time rust
made its appearance, and, in this short
time, seriously damaged the grain.
During the harvesting, the weather was
continually cloudy and showery.
Many persons seeming to forget this>
“capped” their shocks, as fast as they
put them up. The damp weather con
tinuing the consequence was, much
wheat was injured. It is said that some
fine crops in McLemore’s Cove were
utterly ruined. These losses have,
however, been partly compensated by
the benefits of-.oiher crops, particully
oats, from the recent Tains.
As many of your readers are doubt
less aware, the 1ValJtcr County Progress
became a thing of the past the instant
it ceased to be a thing of the future.
The enterprise, however, , certainly ac
complished one thing of which Walker
people^ no doubt, should feel proud.
It brought th&mlin contact, even though
for Saw periods and at irregular intervals,
it was; with the brilliant and various,
but evvt varying genius of your volatile
young townsman, Mr. F. J. Cohen.
But, “misfortunes never come singly.”
.Last Peek’s issue of the Summerville
Gazette contained the adieu of Col. Hovis,
I suppose, serves, also, as an
obituary notice of the Walker County

An American Tichborne
An Alleged Brother-ln-L«w ol Stonewall
Jackson Said to be a Convct—Extraordl
narj- Testimony For nud Against—Who
He?
From the New York Herald.]
£ A remarkable case of disputed ident
ity vividly recalling the great Tichborne
trial, has been the subject of judicial
investigation in the Eighth District
Court during the past five days, before
crowded audiences. The emphasis and
posftivenes with which witnesses of the
highest respectability testified to dia
metrically opposite facts gradually wor
ked up the court and spectators to fe
ver heat and made the question one of
intense interest. The case originated
by the testimony of one Cadwallader
Evans in an action for ejectment
brought by Mr. Gilbert, owner of the
premises No. 23 West Twenty-second
street, against the occupant, Mdme.
Annie Grangier, the well-known mod
iste for non-payment of rent. Mi Evans
testified that on the 3d mst. Mrs. Gran
gier handed him a check for one hun
dred and thirty-seven dollars and fifty
cents to get cashed and pay to Mr.
Gilbert for her rent. He complied with
her request and paid the money to Mr.
Gilbert personally. The latter took the
stand and cmphatioally denied having
any money from Evans. In order to
further attack the credibility of Evans
the plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Jeroloman
produced an original indictment against
one Samuel Edwards, charged with
forging a check on Simon
De Visor, now deceased, for the sum of
four hundred dollars, which had been
attempted to be passed upon Mr.Charles
Delmonico. Also the record showing
Edwards’ conviction before Recorder
Ilackett and his sentence to five years
in Sing Sing State Prison in, April, 1871
and claimed that Samuel Edwards was
the same person as Cadwallader Evans,
Officer Gilpin was produced and
swore that lie arrested him for the
crime, and that Evans was the Ed
wards who had been so arrested, tried
and convicted.
A POSITIVE DENIAL.
Evans was placed on the stand and
swore positively that he was not the same
person; that he had never seen Charles
Demonico before in his life until this oc
casion; that he knew nothing of any such
check’, and that at the time of this trial
and conviction he was not in- New .York,
but on board the ship Zingara as second
mate, and was actually no the high seas,
having sailed from the port of New York
in the early part of the year 1871, and
that in April, 1871, he was upon a voy
age to San Francisco; that from San
Francisco he sailed for Puget’s Sound;
thence to Antwerp; there he left his ves
sel and went to Southampton, whence he
sailed for New York in the year 1873,
and that during the years 1871-72, and
most of 1873 he was absent from New
York.
Mr. Charles Delmonico wa3 called by
the plaintiff to identify Evans os the same
person who had, under the name of Ed
wards, attempted to pass the forged check,
but he failed to do so, and testified, in his
opinion, he was not the same man. The
interest in the case at this point became
intense, especially when the plaintiff’s
counsel then produced another indict
ment, found iu 1S65, against one Cad
wallader Evans, charged with burglari
ously breaking into a room at the Wash
ington Hotel in this city, and stealing
therefrom clothing from Mr. Theron J»
Payne, a guest at said hotel, Evans .also
being a guest there, and that npoii that
indictment he had pleaded guilty, and
had been sentenced to the State Prison
at Sing Sing for five years, Mr. Paype
was sworn, and testified that' the witness
(Cadwallader Evans) was the same per
son who had committed thecrime in 1866.
Mr. Egbert Halstead, who was one of the
proprietors of the Washington Hotel in
1865, and his partner, Mr, Chase, also
both positively swore to his identity.
A CHIVALRIC CAREER.
Mr. Pierre C. Talman, counsel for
And : urther, that Mr. Thomas
Pittman, who had officially conducted
the examination against the Cadwallader
Evans at the Jefferson Market Police
Court, on the charge of the Washington
Hotel burglary in 1SG5. had seen the
witness Evans, and said that he eoul
identify him as the man who was com
mitted in 1SG5. lime. Grangier said
had known Evans for a long time, and
had frequently intrusted him with lnr
sums of money, and would do so again
and that she had every faith in his into;
rity and veracity.
ARRESTED FOR PERJURY.
During the entire trial Evans, who is
fine-looking man with gray hair and full
beard, and about fifty years of age,
showed a wonderful degree of self-pos
session and nerve and withstood thescru
tiny of the Judge, audience and the
searching croFS-examination without the
slightest contusion or tremor. At the
conclusion of this most remarkable trial
the Judge said he would render judg
ment for the plaintiff, and as Evans was
about to depart from the court room he
was arrested upon a warrant issued by
Justice Wandell for peijnryand convey
ed to the Jefferson Market Police Court
where he demanded an examination
When the matter comes up in the Pol
Court some very extraordinary develop
ments are expected to be made.
Heiress Cassy Davis.
A Fortune in Store for a Child Whose Mother
Died on Blackwell’s Island.
In Matron Webb’s cheerful little par
lor in tho top story of tne Police Central
Office, last evening, with the youngest
child of Ilennessy, the brutal father,
in her lap, sat Cassy Davis or Lashon
the missing heiress of Wales, who to
day will sail in the city of Richmon
and return to her father. Six years ago,
Margaret Lashon, the wife of a well-to-
do hotel keeper, in Southern Wales, ran
away from her husband, taking her
child Cassy, then four years old. The
mother resumed her maiden name oi
Dayis, and as Margaret Davis landed
in this city with her child Cassy. Two
years ago, Mr. Lashon inherited a large
estate, and desired to be reunited with
his wife and child. He communicated
with the police in the principal cities
of this country, offering a reward for
the recovery of his child, and Captain
Dixon, of the New York detectives
took the case in hand.
On the 2nd of January last Margaret
Davis, a servant employed by Col. Tid-
more of 157 West Twenty-third street
was’prostrated by a dangerous sickness
The family did all they could in their
power for her, but were finally obliged
to send her and her child, Cassy Davis
to Blackwell’s Island. She lingered a
few weeks and then died. The child
was taken care of by Col. Tidmore’s
family*, who sent her to the Thirty-
third street public school. On her
death bed her mother wrote a letter,
which she entrusted to the chaplain of
the Charity Hospital, to be sent to her
mother in case of death. The chaplain
sent the letter, and the mother wrote
back a request that the child should be
fnlly* identified. This has been done
by Captain Dixon.—Sun.
How English Bank jNotes are
Made.
Bank of England Notes are made
from new white linen cuttings, never
from anything that has been worn. So
carefully is the paper prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp
made by each workman is registered
on a dial by machinery, and the sheets
are counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. They
are ma’de at Liverstoke, on the River
Whit.in Hampshiie, by a family named
Portal, descended from a French Hug
uenot refugee, and have been made by
the same family more than one huu-
dred and fifty years. Some fifteen
years ago a qua itity of bank-note paper
was stolen by the complicity of an em
ploye, and this occasioned great trou
ble as the printing is a comparitively
easy matter—the great difficulty with
forgers being the paper. The notes are
printed within the bank building, and
there is an elaborate arrangement for
securing that no note shall be exactly
like another.

COTTON (HNS
WILLIAMSON &
G A .
Problem For Cotton Buyers, and
Others.
The Henry country* .Register throws
out the following problem for solution:
The other afternoon an inoffensive
sort of a fellow went up te where
crowd were sitting and in the most care
less manner imaginable threw out the
following problem “A sells B a bale of
cotton ferSGO, buys it back for S15, and
sells it to C for SG3. How much does
A make on the speculation?” No one
appeared to take any interest in it at
first, but finally one man spoke up and
said, “S25, of course.” Then another
said S20, and still another believed it
was >16. Well, in about ten minutes
that was the liveliest kind of a crowd.
Stores were abandoned, and every fel
low was busy trying to evolve some new
principle in mathematics by which to
illustrate his theory. Some would lis
ten to the twenty dollars party awhile
and turn away fully conviced that A
made $20. Then they would go over
and hear the fifteen dollar party discuss
it, and ir. three minutes would wonder
how they got the idea that -A coxdd
make $20! But after listening to the
twenty dollar crowd againgthey didn’t
know if they were not right after all.
For about two hours the confusion was
indescribable, and excitement ran high.
One individual remarked, very forcibly
that “if B prlngs a png of cotton and
solds it for feeftv tollar he ish got feefty
tollar, hey? Veil if A puys him pack
for seety-five tollar. he ish got der pag
of cotton, hey? Veil, den, if C solds
der sack of cotton pack to A for forty-
five tollar aleady, he don't got some
more as feeteen tollar by shings!” which
empheiic declaration had its due weight
and all agreed that he took a very cor
rect view of th e mnttpr. But how much
did A make.
John at the Auction*
irginia Chrontclo.]
This morning, a*- an auction sale on
C'street, a lot of worn-out household
furniture was under the hammer, when
Chinaman, who had been carefully
watching operation for some time, ‘pnt
in a bid of “two bittce” for an old dila
pidated washstand. -•
“Two hits—do I hear;jhe tjirce?”
shouted the auctioneer.
There was a lung .pause, broken at
Inst by the Chinaman bidding again.
“Tree hittee.”
The crowd laughed at the Celestial
for raising his own bid, and and the
auctioneer, taking in tho situation, sang
out;
“There hittee—do I hear the four?’’
and looked over at John.
Three was another long pause, but at
last “Fo’ biitee” came from the China
man and a roar of laughter went up, ja.
which even a number of old women
joined so heartily as to almost shako
their false teeth out Still the auction
eer held on to the washstand ,and the
Chinaman, determined to secure it, bid
five, six, seven and eight “bittee” suc
cessively, and it wasfinally passed over
to him for a dollar. He received *it
with a smile of awftfl dimensions, re
marking, “Me kefehee wasnstand, yon

Beecher on the Jews.
New York. June 24.—Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher announced from the
pulpit to.day that this discourse in
the eventng would be in relation to the
Jews. The announcement attracted a
large congregation and many were uu.
able to gain admission. He -took for
bis text the 44tli verse of the 14th chap
ter of Acts: “But when they knew- he
was a Jew all with one voice, about the
space of two hours cried out Great is
Diana of the Ephesians.” Mr, Beecher
said that he became intimately ac
quaint! with Mr. Soligmati at the
Twin Mountain House and knew him
well. lie knew him to be an estima
ble gentleman in every way and in
every sense of the word. The Jews
formed a targe portion of our commu
nity and he must say they wore not
only excellent and thrifty citizens, but
an exceptionable law-abiding people.
He considered that a great insult bad
been put on them, hut it had shocked
the intelligent and refined people—
those whose opinions were worthy of
respect aud that it led the Israelites
of the country to believe they were
held in great respect by their Chris
tian fellow-citizens. He further re
marked that they had never stole ten
millions of dollars from the city and
endeavored to make terms in jail.
Of all people toey are the last that

not think it a good sign to see a man

An Aristocratic Beer Seller.
Cincinnati Comm6rcial.J
On Pennsylvania avenue, near Eigh
teenth street there is'in course of con
struction one of the most extraordinary
houses you can fancy; it is turreted
like a castle and yet present the Appear
ance of a church it attracts universal
attention is being fashioned 'somewhat
after the Eastlake style and is owned
by Count. IVorch, a German, who pro
poses to inhabit his castle and in it se 1
Rhine wine and lager. He is well
known in that locality where twice he
left his lands and castles. He has been
engaged in the business’of selling ‘lager
beer. He is a man of superb presence,
over six leethigh, with marked German
features, light hair and full blonde
whiskers worn a la militaire. He is
on the best terms with the German
Legation and said by them to be a
Count son of one of the'richest among
their wealthy aristocrats, his having
adopted this business being the result
of eccentricity. His oldest sister lives
in great magnificence in Prussia where
she is married to a Prussian Baron
and the family are connected by mar
riage with most of the nobility of Prus-
ia and Germany. Is this a romance?
Dom Pedro 1. and Victor Hngo
The Messages Franco.-Amcrican tells
the following anecdote oh Dom Pedro
and Victor Hugo with the latter of
whom the fonnerjone evening very
unceremoniously “dropped in” to din
ner: Soon the guests sat down to ta
ble. The repast was charming. Dom
Pedro gave some very curious travel
ing impressions. Victor Hngo for his
part spoke with that simplicity so full
of warmth of which those who have not
the honor of being intimate with him
have no idea. When ihe Emperor
tookjleavc of his host—it was rather
late—the latter said to him smiling
with his fine and arch smile:
{‘Sir I could not possibly' tell you
how happy I am thnt we have no sov
ereigns like you in Enropc.” And why
why said Dom] Pedro. Because re.
plied Victor. Hugo, “both myself and
my friends would be very much puz
zled to find* anything bad to say of
them.”
Dom Pedro burst, out laughing and
took leave of his friend like a good ma
tured and sensible man.

Cl
ent, telegraphing V
details, explaining how. the crossing
of the Danube was effected. The Rus
sians at Ibrail completed their bridge
undisturbed by the Turks. He says
every one understood on Thursday
that the crossing was posponed both on
account of the delay in the Czar’s arri
val and because a large force of Turk
ish troops had been discovered in am
bush not far from the brioge. Howev
er Gen. Zimmerman suddenly disap
peared from Ibrail during the night.
This morning a little after daybreak;
the people of Ibrail were awakened by
the sound of artillery and musketry on
the other side of the river showing
that the Danube must be crossed- Gen
Zimmermann had gone to Galatz and
crossed the Danube with two regi
ments of infantry and a proportionate
amount of artillery and cavalry, in a
number of boats towed over by steam
touches. The distance traversed in
boats seems to have been over three
mill s. The Turks seem to have made
a very stubborn resistance,
The latest advice from the Danube
shows some bloody but no serious. or
determined opposition to the crossing
either at Ibrail or Galatz.

Suffolk Wheat-
Lord Hardwick stated., in a speech
before the Royal Agricultural society
of England, that fine Suffolk wheat
had produced seventy-six bushels per
acre, and another and improved varie
ty had yielded eighty-two bushels per
acre. Alderman Mechi raises forty-two
bushels to the acre in field culture, and
yet the average of anti-progressive far
mers there raise but little over twenty
bushels to the acre, and 300 years ago
in England a crop of nine buBhels of
wheat to the acre was esteemed a great
ouooocs. And yet the United States
with as fine a soil as the sun shines on
only averages 12.2 bushels of wheat to
the acre, showing the need of better
culture.
The Way to Make Him Smile—
A young tody had written a poem, “I
cannot make him smile.” Bless your
simple soul, deat, you didn’t go at it
right Don’t Bing funny songs or tell
old jokes for him. Just hook your
hand inside his elbow, walk him up to
the bar,lean on one elbow and say, “Well
old boy, what shall it be?” He’ll smile
bless your disappointed heart, he’ll
smile every time you say that—Buoling-
