WOlliD YOU MISS ME. DIBLINC.THIS f
If this heart that lovee thee truly.
And thU life that breathes for thee ;
Were silenced ere yonr *n"hng eyes ~
Another sun should see—
Would you miss mo, darling, thee t
If these lips that with fond wishes.
Ever dwoil upon thy name ;
In distant lands—thy gentleness—
Were destined to proclaim—
Would you m ss me, darling, then?
If this framo that hour by hour.
Lives, and moves, and longs for thee ;
Beneath the cold and cheerless sod,
In final rest should be—
Would you miss me, darling, then t
If eves that from aii other forms
Doth turn to dwell on thine ;
To gaze upon me foreign face.
Wets banished for a time—
Wouid jc/u miss me, darling, then ?
If those hands whoso truest effort _
For thee would freely, gladly yield ;
Were shackled in the grip of death,
Arid powerless to shield—
Would you miss me, darling, then ?
If far away from home and friend*.
A wanderer —I should roam,
An outcast in a foreign clime.
Without a name or home—
Would yea miss me, darling, then ?
Wen'id those cheeks of ro.-.y crimson,
Or [hose eyes so true and bright;
Then be one whit the paler.
Or thy heart less free and light—
Would you miss me darling, then t and. L.

How many aching hearts arc hid
Beneath a smiling mask:

And pleasure’s roseate glow: ,

The skeleton concealed,
Affrights the gay sotig from tlieir lips
To others, uurevealed.
Huch hidden woes call forth far more
Thau Spar:an bravery stem.
And warriors might, from woman frail,
Tasks of endurance learn.
I look around among my friends—
How few are really blessed;
How many cry, with quivering lips:
•• No birds in last year’s nort ! ’
TVe fireside, tho’ strong Us defence,
Hath sfill its vacant chair;
Few ll icks. however watched by love,
“ But one dead lamb is there.”
Fond hoarts are draped in sable still.
Tho’many months have p&s-od
Hinco e'er the iovo-blessel homo chill death
His weird shadows cast:
While others, happily for thorn,
Loaru quickly to forget,
To miss no light from out life’s sky,
Tho' one bright star has sot.
Mu home is happy, yet I grieve j
At hoar! for weeping friends;
And memory, backward to tho past,
A lengthening shadow sends;
And I recall t e hours when I,
Too, wept above my dead,
And thought from life all happiness,
And hope and light had tied.
Oh I bruised heart, look up to Him
Who heeds the mourner’s tear,
And re ail the lesson Nature gives.
Hpriug comes with each new year,
Tho faded loaves give way to flowers,
Haro earth—enow covered plain,
Annies with tho waving grass, green tree*
And song of birds again.
HE NEVER TOI.U A LIE.
I saw him standing iri tho crowd,
A comely youth and fair ! :
There was' a brightness in his eye,
A glory iu his hair !
I saw his comrades gaze on him—
His comrades standing by;
I heard them whisper each to each,
“He never told & lie !”
I looked in wonder on that boy,
As ho stood tliore bo young;
To think that never an untruth
Was uttered by his longue.
I thought of all the boys i’d known—
Myself among tho fry—
Ami knew of none that one could say,
“He never told a lie 1”
1 gaged upon that youlh with awe
that did ouchaiu me long;
I had not seen a hoy before
Bo perfect and so strong.
And with a something of regret
I wished that he was I,
Jio they might look at mo and say:
‘‘lie never told a lie !”
1 thought of questions very hard
For hoys to answer right:
“How did you tear those pantaloons ?”
"My son ! what caused the fight ?”
“Who left iho gato ajar last night ?”
‘‘Who bit the pumpkin pie ?"
What boy could answer all of these,
And novor toll a lie ?
I proudly took him by tho hand
ily words with praise wero rife;
I blessed I hat boy who novor told
A falsehood in bis life;
I told him I was proud of trim.
A follow standing by
Informed me that that hoy was dumb
Who novor told a lie !
SORROW.
Upon my lipo she laid hor touch divino,
And merry speech and careless laughter'
died;
She fixed hor melancholy eyes ou mine.
And would not bo denied.
I saw the West wind loose his cloudlets white,
In flocks, careering through the April sky ;
I could not sing, though joy was at is height,
For she stood silent by.
I watched tho lovely evening fado away—
A mist was slightly drawn across the stars,
She broke my quiet dream -I heard her say,
•‘Behold your prison bars!
“Earth's gladness shall not satisfy your soul—
This beauty of tho world in which yon live ;
The crowning grace that sanctities the wholo.
That I alone can give.”
I hsavd, and shrank away from lier afraid ;
But still sho h id mo, and would still abide,
Youth’s bounding pulses slackened ami obeyed,
With slowly ebbing tide.
“Look thou beyond the evening sky," sho said, j
“Beyond the changing splendors of the day ; j
Accept the pain, the weariness, tho droad,
Accept, and bid me slay!”
I turned and claspod tier close with snddau j
strength.
And slowly, sweetly I became aware
Within my arms God’s augel stood, at length, j
White robed and calm and fair, j
And now I look beyond tlie evening star.
Beyond the changing splendors of the day, j
Knowing the pain He sends more precious far, j
More beautiful than they.
A WOMAN'S NHMRTI’OMINGN.
SWie had laughed so softly, as if sho sighed; j
Bho has counted six and over,
Of a jmrse well filled, and a heart well tried—
O. each a worthy lover!
They "give her nine,” for her soul must slip 1
Where the world has set the grooving ; j
Blie will lie to none with her fair young lip— 1
But love seeks truer loving.
She trembles her fan in a sweetness dumb.
As her thoughts were beyond recalling; .
With a glance for one, and a gianee for some, j
From tier eyelids rising aud falling.
Bpeaks common words with a blushful air; i
Hears bold words unreproving ;
But ber silence says what sho never will i
swear—
Ami love seeks better loving.
Go, lady, loan to the night guitar,
Aud drop a smile to tlie bringer;
Then smile as sweetly, when he is far.
At the voice of an m-door singer !
Bask tenderly beneath tender eyes ;
Glance lightly on tlieir removing ;
And join new vows to old perjuries—
Dm dare not call it loving!
Unless yon can think when the song is done. <
No other is soft iu tho rythm;
Unless you can feel when left by One,
That all moil else go with him;
Unless you can know, when unp raised by his
breath.
That your beauty itself wants proving ;
Unless you can swear—" For life, for death!”
O. fear to call it loving !
Unless you can muse in a crowd all day.
Ou the absent face that fixed you;
Unless you can love as the angels may.
With the breadth of Heaven betwixt you :
Unless you can dri-am that liis faith is fast.
Through behooving and unbehooving ;
Unless you can die when the dream is past
O. never call it loving !

THE COTTON BELT.
Agricultural SiniKlir* From Washington—
Condition ot ihc Crop .(bout tho Sums as
Lust Year.
Washington, September 13.—The sta
tistician of the Department of Agricul
ture reports the condition of cotton dar
ing the first week of September as
averaging, for the whole cotton belt, the
same as in September of last year.
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi
ana, Arkansas aud Tennessee make
higher averages than in 1876. The Car
oiinas, Georgia and Texas report less
favorably, the greatest redaction being
in Texas. As compared with last month,
Florida, Arkansas and Tennessee only,
report improvement. The per centages
of the condition are as follows; North
Carolina, 83; South Carolina, 85; Geor
gia, 77; Florida, 94; Alabama, 91; Mis
sissippi, S8: Louisiana, 92; Texas, 70;
Arkansas, 99; Tennessee, 100. The
caterpillar is present in all of the Gnlf
States and in South Carolina, but has
done little damage as yet, except iu
Texas. In several parishes in Louisiana
the loss is considerable from this cause.
Where it has made a late appearance it
will benefit rather than injure the crop.
Iu the Atlantic States there is much
complaint of rust, mainly resulting from
drouth, bat in some counties from injury
by beating storms. Iu this section the
growth is late, and the effects of frost in
shortening the harvest is feared.
Judge Galbraith, of Pennsylvania, de
cides that churches in the course of con
struction are not exempt from tax. Con
secration or dedication is necessary.

Whitt Mir Henry Halford Maid in Delivering
tin- I’rim to “Thu Brut Rifla Shot In the
World.”
[A’. T. WorVl Report ]
The last presentation was that cf the
Wimbledon Cup to Mr. Dudley Selph,
by Sir Henry Halford. President Stan
ton, in introducing Sir Henry, sketched
the history of the cup. which was placed
in the hands of the American team of
1875 at Wimbledon as an offering from
the National Rifle Association of Great
Britain to the National Rifle Association
o! America. Sir Henry said;
"Gentlemen and Officers of the National
Rifle Association:
‘•Yon have done me the honor of
making me the medium of presentation
of this cnp. lam glad, as it gives me
the opportunity of recalling to our minds
the circumstances which called it into
existence and explains its appearance on
your list of annual prizes at Creedmoor
But, first, I would correct what seems
to me an error into which Gen. Wood
ward has fallen when he underrates the
importance of long range, as compared
with what is done and should be done
in military firms Now, it will not do to
kick down the ladder which has led us
to the present pitch cf excellence in mil
itary shooting. You must not forget
that the skill shown and interest in sci
entific rifle shooting has been of incal
culable value in the work of raising the
standard in all classes of arms. Had it
not been for the progress in this special
line we might have still been working
away with the old ‘Brown Bess.’ I
trust, therefore, that no jealousy will Vie
shown, and a more active interest than
before taken in scientific shooting and
all honor given the men who at present
win prizes through their own diligence
with arms called the finest, but really
the pioneer weapons on which all future
changes aud improvements are modeled.
But of the cnp. You will remember that
when the American team of 1875 went to
Ireland to gain one of its uniform vic
tories— [laughterj -after Dollymount
they carae to Wimbledon. Some of our
people proposed that they should shoot
alongside us in our contest for our old
E cho Shield. But the objections to
tlr.s were manifest, and tlie council
could not consent. Some said we were
afrajd, but to show that wo were not we
off red to got up a ‘scratch’ team and
shoot a match. Xwa on the council at
that time, and was one of the strongest
opponents of the proposed match with
the liloho Shield teams, and I hold
to that opinion still—that when more
than one team comes from tho 3ame
country a foreigner-aud I am not
usiLg tho word in an offensive sense,
because I look upon yon as cousins—
cannot form a proper competitor. But
the council, while holding this view,
\Y re anxious to flaye a match, and when
thiH con id not come about, to skew their
wish to do everything that was hospita
ble and kindly, they provided this cup.
It was taken away from England on a
most excellent score by Major Fulton,
and now I have the pleasure of present
ing it to tt gentleman who has been
termed the best rifle shot in the world,
I have so called him myself, apd he has
proven himself such, not in team shoot
ing, but in a mutch where lie was thrown
on liis own resources, aud was obliged
to follow his own judgment. I consider
a man a better marksman who makes a
high score whon shooting by himself
than when, with able coaching, he runs
up to great totals. It is quite possible
that he may be ft mere trigger puller.
The act of letting oil the rifle is of no
great moment, compared with tlie exer
cise of judgment in fixing the sight, and
the coach, of whom so little is said, is
still the man who makes or breaks a
rnatoh. As to the first rifleman of the
world, I present to you this cup.”
Sir Henry handed Mr. Selph the great
tankard. Mr. Selph responded briefly:
“Sir, as a representative of the South,
nnd as a rifleman, I accept this cup. At
the end of the year I must give it up;
but, I shall come with it—(Sir Henry,
‘Rear ! Hear ! Hear !’;—and striye again
for its possession. If I win it then I
shall be happy, as lam now. If I lose
it I hope to bear the loss as my English
cousins do, like a man.”
With cheers and applause the assem
blage broke up, not before a rousing
round of cheers with a tiger had been
given for the British team.

<lf the Du nullin' oi cal Ex-Governor ol
Florida—From Honor, Alltuenee mid Ease
In Shame, Degradation, Dlsgrneo and
Heath in a Four House.
* [ Aunt York Dispatch 1
A week ago there died in the alms
liotino at Newport, Kentucky, opposite
Cincinnati, a woman whose social re
cord on the Western continent is a re
markable one. Her story is well known
to many. A brief resume oi it, how
ever, will be of interest to the readers
of the Dispatch, neleu Maude Mosely
was the only child of a late ex-Governor
of Florida. Educated in a French con
vent, reared in what ia termed tho “lap
of luxury,” she was, two yaqrs before
the civil war, the belle of the Southern
watering places and a leader iu the so
ciety to which her father’d wealth and
social standing gave her the ctitree. Iu
1839 she married a promineut physician
iu Savannah, Georgia. Iu 1860 sho was
attended at childbirth by another well
known member of the Esculapiau guild
of that city. Tho acquaintance thus
began ripened into illicit intimacy, and
the discovery of the liason resulted
iu a divorce and She abandonment of
tho young wife by her husband, Her
lover soon tired of her, and the out
break of the war found her penniless
and friendless iu 3 Vanuatu She then
made the acquaintance of a man who
afterward became a Commissary-General
and a large .contractor in the service of
tho Confederacy, a fid Jived with him
until the entry of the pnioa Droops into
Savannah, when he fled with Bragg’s ,
army. On the morning after the occu
pation of the city by the Federal army,
a youug officer of an Ohio regiment,
who .had been posting guards iu the
street, ssyr her at her garden gate, and
asked her for a glass o? water. Learn
ing that she was alone, he pijefpfl a guard
over her house, and by various oiii.ejr at- ]
tentions soon came to occupy tho place
of the absent contractor. Her house,
during this period, was a tavorite resort
of many Union officers, but she is said
to have been unalterably faithful to the
one. In conversation with a Dispatch
reporter, one of the then Lmbiaies of j
the house describes “Nelly Walsh,” as
she called herself, as a lady iu every |
sense, of social aud intellectual develop- j
1 ment. Previous fo the war she had |
written for various papers—notably the !
New York l.edger —over tile name of j
“Flora de Forest.” She was a woman
of a deeply devotional nature, aud, to j
use the informant’s own words, “drank
and ate up ram to kill .her memory.”
When the regiment ol her lover left Sn
! vauuab, Nelly Walsh applied to one of
the generals in charge—a soldier vh<?3e
name stands among the first in the re
-1 cords of the rebellion—for a continu
ance of the protection. The general did
more. He assumed that duty himself,
: aud when he took charge of a depart
ment, one of his adjutants escorted the
\ fair rebel in his train. She lived with
I him for several years, sail] when he was
appointed to a mission abroad he took
I her with him. His efforts to secure her
1 a social standing there, and, alter his
| return, iu this country, caused great
; scandal aud a fluttering iu higii society.
■ He clung to her faithfully, however,
1 aud it was only when the opium habit
i gained a ruinous ascendency over her
' that he left her, even then giviug her a
. considerable earn of money. Off this and
; the products of her pen afce lived for a
1 couple of years more, writing tor several
of the local serial papers ; but her be
! setting sin brought her down step by
1 step until her brain refused ito office,
j and she disappeared, now she lived
j from that time until, half crazed and
wholly broken down and hopeless, she
obtained admission to the New York
poor house, will never be known. Her
identity was established from her icoo
i herent ravings and a few remnacts of
i letters iu her pockets. For weeks be-
I fore she died she was insace. Every
j night and morning, instinctively, as it
i were, she repeated the prayess learned
jin her happy youth in her French
I school, and her last words were a sup
j plication to her Creator. In her mad
i dened momenta the recital of a verse of
j ooetry would calm her. She asked eon
-1 tmnaliy for her child—a Utrio girl long
since dead —the very child in giving
! birth to whom she hail met her seducer.
; No word ever escaped her as to her own
! life since 1875. The physician’s report
serves as a pregnant comment an the
j frightful habit to which she was a slave.
For two weeks previous to her death she
consumed two ouneas of laudanum a
day.

LYer* York Tribune ]
General Toombs is actually in the
field for the United States Senate. His
j friends say his course in the Constitu
i tional Convention has opened anew
! career for him. For the credit of Geor
gia, the career ought to be short, and so
conclusive that politics will never be
burdened with him again. His course
in the Convention was simply reckless
| from beginning to end. All that is worst
in the new Constitution is to be credited
to him, and none of his pet projects were
adopted, either. He would do Georgia
and the South as much harm in the Sen
ate as Mr. Gordon has done them good,
and that is saying a great deal.

Three Person* Amiwinateil nt Sargent’*
Kanbce—Creed for Gold the Reigning Evil
—Ah Jim and Ah Sam Suapected of the
Crime— Nearly Lynched by a Mob.
San Francisco, September 17.—Yes
terday afternoon some persons passing
near Sargent’s ranche, about two miles
from Rocklin, Places county, heard
several pistol shots, and as they ap
proached the house saw two men, who
scaled the fence, run away. On entering
the house the body of a Mrs. Oder, who,
with ber husband and Sargent, oc- \
copied the premises, was found on the j
floor. She had been shot twice and her
head spit open with an axe. An alarm
was giveD, and a party of constables and
citizens began a search. About fifty
yards from the house the body of Mr.
Oder was found. He had received
three pistol shots. The party then fol
lowed the trail of the men, who were
seen to jump the fence. These tracks
showed that they were Chinese shoes.
After crossing the ravine three-quarters
of a mile from the house, in a clump of
willows, they found Sargent bleeding
from wounds on the head and body.
Being conscious, he stated that two
Chinamen had called at the house
shortly after uood, and desired to pur
chase a certain mining claim from him.
He accompanied them to the claim, and
while returning they shot him five times
in the body and head, and left him for
dead. He said that the assassins were
from Perryn, a neighboring village,
one of them being a cook at Grant’s
boarding house near Perryn quarries.
He had received 81,120 from another
Chinam an a few days before for a mining
claim which was in the trunk at the
house. It is presumed that the object
of the murderers was to obtain the
money. The party followed the tracks
of the murderers to a Chinese cabin
□ear at hand where they captured three
Chinamen, one of whom was in bed but
perspiring freely as though he had been
running. Several other Chinamen living
uear were arrested. One who was much
fightened volunteered information that
h Sam and Ah Jim had murdered
Sargent but would say no more. One
of the prisoners had 8120 in his posses
sion. It was found that the trunk in
which Sargent deposit* and the money had
been cut open and robbed.
Sargent died this morning. Hundreds
of citizens viewed the dead bodies to
day. The excitement was intense dur
ing the night, and had the evidence
agaiust the prisoners been deemed con
clusive they would have been lynched.
The cock at Grant’s hoarding house
could not bo found, though the coun
try and towns for miles around were
scoured in the pursuit. This morning a
meeting of citizens was held at Rocklin.
All Chinese have been notified to leave
the place by six o’clock, p. m. Before
four o’clock the last squad of.Chinamen,
burdened by their baggage, fled out of
the town, ‘ including those employed
by the railroad company, the prisoners
being tho only Chinese remaining. They
were in no way molested by the excited
crowd. At 6, p. m., the citizens march
ed to the Chinese quarters, demolished
all buildings, twenty-five in number, in
cluding a store, the owner of which had
moypd his stock of goods. At the in
quest of the bodies of the murdered
persons to-day, facts were develop
ed which led the sheriff to believe that
four of the Chinamen in custody are
implicated in the murders, and he or
dered their removal to the county jail.
At Auburn, a crowd collected when the
officers, witu their prisoners, boarded
the train, aud the mutferings of the throng
broke out into exclamations, such as :
“Have them out!” “Hang them !” A
rush was made foy the doors of the par
and the sheriff aud his deputies seized
npon, and but for a fair show of pistols
by the officers and conductor of the
train, tfio purpose of the mob would
have beeu accomplished. The crowd
was finally forced back, and the train
moved out of the station followed by the
yells of the throng. The moderation
displayed by tho citizens, with the ex
ception of the above incident, is partly
duo fo the fact that throughout the day,
aud by common consent, all saloon
keepers closed their places, otherwise
serious consequences would undoubted
ly have ensued.
The coroner’s jury found that the
murder oi Sargent was committed by
Ah Sam, Ah Jim apd Chinaman
unknown. Sargent was an old and re
spected resident. Oder was a Bavarian,
i and his wife bad relatives in Trenton,
N. J.
About 8 o’clock this evening the
buildings connected with a Chinese gar
den, about a mile from Rocklin, were
burned. It is positively denied that the
tire was oaused by the white?, and it is
probable that the premises were aban
doned and fired by the Chinese,
THE GREEN FLAG OF IRELAND.
Tlie Mining Flaw.
j Dublin May 2 Gth]
“I miss but one thing here io-day,”
said the gifted Archbishop of Cashel,
addressing the splendid audience that
listened in rapt attention to his words,
last Monday, in Kilkenny. “I miss but
one thing here to-day—the green flag of
Ireland.” There yere flags in abundance
around him. Behind him floated the
flags of England, of France, of the
United Bt&tes; in front of bini waved a
forest of banners and bannerettes of I
manifold patterns and devices. Red j
flags and blue flags, yellow flags and
brown flags, streamed from lance-head
and polo. “Every flag,” said the Arch
bishop, “is here, except the green flag
of Ireland.”
But for all that, there was a green flag
at Kilkenny. It floated from the roof
of St. KyrftVe (Uojlpge, flanked by the
British ensign on quo side, and the
“Stars and Stripes” on the ot'h6. And j
doubtless it had not escaped the obser- j
vation of the illustrious prelate whose :
words we are quoting. It was a “green !
flag otiartered with the Union Jack,” j
says tfio reporter. Quartered with the
Union Jack i Was eve? speh a combina- 1
tiou hpard of ? But" tlie ‘green flag of !
Ireland y” Rr, Orojko looked fo’jf it in
vain.
We are not disposed to ascribe its ab
souea to anything more than an acci
dental omission. There was certainly
nothing jn the object or constitution of
the meeting'to aunviSfif for it as a matter
of principle. The meeting was jjeld to
celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the,
Pope, and to advocate the Irish claim |
for religious education. The claim for
free education is pressed by none more
ardently than by th.o Nationalists of
Ireland, for they know,'to use once. 1
more the language of Dr. Croke, that
English policy tries to keep the Irish
iguorant in order to keep them slaves,
and that “with the first glimpse of men
tal light comes the first aspiration to be
free.” As fp the meeting itself, it con
taiued within its *asl expanse and well
ordered rauks as large a proportion of
| patriotic and independent men as any
assembly ever arrayed on hillside or
plain iu Ireland. The patriotism of the
priests and people of Kilkenny has been
too often aud too well attested to need
vindication; aud there were few of his
listeners whose hearts did not respond
to the sentiment of Dr. Croke, that,
victorious or defeated, the banner which
he missed His dearer to the heart of
Ireland than any dag that eye? braved
the breeze.” And, like him, too, there
was many a faithful Irishman present
who felt there is no peril he would “not
be prepared to encounter in its defense
when borne by those in whose hands the
honor of Ireland is safe.”
We are unwilling, then, to attach even
a shadow of polititieal significance to
the absence of the green flag at Kilken
ny, and we can scarcely feel regret for
j an incident which evoked from one of
j the most distinguished of Irish prelates ;
i the eloquent profession of patriotism we !
! have quoted. The great asstuiblsge at:
I St. Kyrau's cheered with joyous enthu- j
siasm as they heard the noble euuncia-!
tiou of national principle. Rut it is not |
his audience in Kilkenny alone that- the j
language of Dr. Croke will bring proud j
satisfaction. Whereyer an Irishman is j
found, wherever a heart beats true to !
the memories of the Irish cause, there
will these welcome words be hailed with
gratitude and joy. All Ireland owes its
praise and its thanks to the true-heart
ed prelate who rebuked so courageously
even the semblenee of a slight to the
national cause. And Ireland will pay
the debt. We have little fear that the
incident will ever be repeated, or that
in Kilkenny or anywhere else a meeting
such as that of Monday last will be held
with every flag unfurled “except the
green flag of Ireland.” That flag, “dear
er to the heart of Ireland than any flag
that ever bra Ted the breeze,” will seldom
again, we venture to say, be missed
from an Irish popular assembly ; but
never will its green folds stream in the
wind, and never will jts golden harp
| gladden the eyes of the observers, thet
j the hearts of Irishmen will not throb,
i and thft cheeks of Irishmen will not
flush with pleasure, 3$ the recollection
of the words in which the ciaimu of that
banner to the love and allegiance of
Irishmen were vindicated last Monday
in Kilkenny. To “the bond of patriot
ism that unites Kilkenny and Tippe
rary in the Irish cause” Dr. Croke
attributed the ovation he received as
Arch! ishop of Cashel ip the City of the
Confederation. To the bond of patri
otism which unites himself to his coun
trymen at large he may ascribe the
affectioh and veneration with which he
is regarded in Ireland from shore to
shore. The prelates of Ireland are not
strangers to the national rauks, and
the lessons of patriotism are not foreign
to their hearts or to their lips; but
amoDg all their splendid efforts in the
service of their country few acts will be
more lovingly remembered than the
noble utterances in which the Arch
bishop of Cashel on Monday last pledged
his devotion to the “green flag of Ire
land.”

Court has been vigorously dispatched,
and many cases, some of long standing,
disposed of, an adjourned term will be
necessary, and will be held the second
week in November. This has been a
week of unusual interest to the citizens
of Greenesboro. The Conrt has brought
together a great maDy people from the
country, who have had the pleasure of
hearing Hon. Miles Lewis, of this coun
ty, and Judge Hook, of Augusta, on the
ratification of the Constitution. I need
only say these gentlemen well sustained
their reputation as public speakers, aDd
made favorable impression npon the
people. Old Greene will go for the
ratification of the new Constitution,
with Milledgeville for the seat of
government, Col. Lewis says he is in
favor of Milledgeville as a matter of
economy to the State. The people of
Georgia are burthened with taxation,
and the Convention felt it, hence they
left the question involving an enormous
expenditure of money in their hands,
and he thought the question of econo
my would, and ought, to decide the
issue.
The crops of tho county have suffered
severely from drouth, and will fall short
by one-third.
Perhaps an average quantify of corn
will be made, from the fact that more
has been planted, aud better, cultivated
than formerly. The farmers are gener
ally disposed to sow largely of small
grain the coming season. Veritus.
THE FAMINE.
Starvation and I)c*atli in the Public Street*
of the Citie* of India.
[From the London Times J
Madras, August 18.—All Hindoos are
charitable by nature. Most families
have crowds of himgry hangers on, even
in the best of times, but with this great
dearth the family burdens have been
greatly added to. Iu going through a
street of the more wealthy part of the
town, it is common to see at almost
every house a number of poor people
collected waiting for the daily dole of
food, and iu this way tho native commu
nities of this and other towns have been
doing quietly and unostentatiously a
great deal to help their poorer brethren
in the struggle for life.
But from all that I can learn distress
is already reaching the class above the
very poor. With these there are caste
difficulties about getting food at the
regular relief houses, and many are
gradually starving before the pressure
becomes so great that they will leave
behind their pride and social prejudices
and join the common herd at the Gov
ernment kitchens. With regard to tlie
town of Madras the local committees
are now making inquiries regarding the
numbers of the better classes who are in
want of relief, and this relief will be ad -
ministered as far as po sible iu a man
ner consonant with the feelings and
usages of the classes we wish to benefit.
It is certain that the destitution is
very real. Within a stone’s throw of
my own house ia a native village tenant
ed by servants of Europeans, small
shop-keepers and others, and for some
time past my wife has been feeding a
few little starvelings belonging to this
village on bread and milk. These are
not immigrants, but children of our lo
cal poor, and out of a dozen little thiDgs
who come every morning for their food,
two or three are so far gone that they
will not be saved. If we fed all who
wanted help out of this small village, we
should have hundreds ou the list.
A3 I write, there comes before me a
woman with two children, the woman in
the last stage of exhaustion, one child
at the breast, with the face like a little
wizened old man, aud its body a mere
skeleton; the other child a little girl of
five years of age, extremely emaciated
and feeble. With this family are two
girls, both miserably thin and famine
stricken, and \yith their strength quite
spent. They all speak with voices that
are thin, and sounding ao if far away,
just as happens in patients in the last
stage of cholera. A little warm soup
and bread and milk for the children re
vives all of them in a wonderful way.
After a rest they get a meal cf ourry
and rice, and are sent off in a cart to a
relief camp. Standing at the entrance
gate of my house I can, in half an hour,
count hundreds of wretched creatures
who have scarcely strength enough left
to drag their weary limbs along. These
are the houseless and homeless wander
ers from different villages, for whom the
Government provides centres of relief,
but the people will n u t rest quietly and
conserve their energies. They drag
themselves and their feeble children
about, wandering from camp to camp,
uutil the time comes for them to lie
down and die.
Death in the street is getting more
frequent. One day last wsek I saw a
small crowd assembled near the Govern
ment House. The people were gathered
round a famine family ; one of whom, a
girl, was dyjng of exhaustion. The by
standers were trying to feed her with
milk aud rice, but sue could not swal
low. Iu Bangalore I hear that the peo
ple die in the streets at the rate of
fifteen or twenty a day, and the police
in Madras are reporting such cases of
death as common. There comes a time
in the course of every famine when the
people affected by the scarcity can
neither exert theto'seiyey por bear any
climatic changes without great peril to
life. Bodies enfeebled by long priva
tion are very susoeptible to fatigue aud
weather changes. The last ten days
liaVC heel i a rainy time, and the mortal
ity among tho iaZHIUf camps has been
highep than ever.
WHAT MADE HOWARD IAU.
Sherman Suggest* That lie Give Way to a
Younger Oftleer.
Washington, September 12.—1 t has
leaked out to-day through the War De
partment' that the dispatch by General
Sherman to General Boward, at Helena,
was short and spicy. It is impossible
to obtain the full telegram, but the pur
port is vouched for as follows; “Push
them to the ’wall and clean them out.
If you can't dci it, turn tfle command
over to some younger officer.” It was
in answer to this that General Howard
made reply about being misunderstood;
that he never flagged; that neither Sher
man nor McDowell could doubt his
pluck and energy, &c. The army men
here say that many things are excused
in telegraphic correspondence which
would not be permitted by letter; for
instance, this eurt rejoinder of Howard
to his superior officer would not have
been allowed under other circumstances.
During his Jinpt pyep the plpina for a
place of safety, Howard has (several
times gone out of lys department. So
long as he remains inside the lines he
can hold his official head on his shoul
ders, for the signature of the President
is required to the appointment of a de
partment commander, Shermau cannot
remove one. In case, however, Howard
got outside the limits, Sherman could
at once appoint General Crook or Gen
eral Terry to lead the forces, and How
ard would have to step aside. After
this warning the dangerous Howard will
keep his map in his pocket.

ETCHINGS OF DEPRAVITY'.
A Daring Kobbery on the Union Pacific-
Bandit* Board a Train, Rob the Expresa,
Plunder the Paaaenger*, Pillage the Train
and Dinable the Locomotive—Rewards for
the Rascals.
Cheyenne, Wy., September 18.—The
Eastward bound passenger train which
passed here at 3, p. m., to-day was stop
ped and robbed by thirteen masked men
at Big Springs, Neb., 160 miles east of
this city to-night. The robbers first
took possession of the station at the
Springs, destroyed the telegraph instru
ments and compelled the agent to hang
out the red light. When the train stop
ped they boarded it and placed the train
men and passengers under guard. The
express car was broken open and the
safe robbed of about 875,000. The
passengers were also robbed, but their
losses are not yet known. In order to
delay the train in reaching the next sta
tion where the alarm could be given the
fire in the locomotive was dampened
with water. The freight train overtak
ing the passenger train, its engine was
sent to Ogallala, whence the report of
the robbery comes. It is believed that
the robbers have gone Northward. The
railroad company offers a reward of
85,000 for the capture of the robbers.
Omaha, Neb., September 19.—E.
Morsman, Superintendent of the Union
Pacific Express, offers 810,000 reward
for the capture of the men who robbed
the Union Pacific train at Big Springs
last night.
Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., September 19. —
Big Springs Station, where the rob
bery of the express train was committed
last night, is a water station 162 miles
east of this place, that has only two
houses beside the station. The robbers
came to the station in the evening and
took possession of everything. They tore
the telegraph instruments out and threw
them away. The red light was then
hung out to stop the train, which reached
there at 11 o’clock. On the conductor
stepping off to see what was wanted he was
confronted by men armed with revolvers,
who ordered him to throw up his hands.
The engineer and fireman were secured
and a guard placed at each end of the
coach. The station agent was compelled
to knock on the express door, and on its
being opened for him the robbers rushed
in and overpowered Messenger Muller
and took possession of the car. They
secured sixty-five thousand dollars in
coin and about SSOO in currency from
the express car. The through safe which
is stationary, and has a combination
lock, they left untouched, it contained
a large sum. The passengers in the
coaches were then visited, and relieved
of their cash and valuables. It is stated
that thirteen hundred dollars in cash
and four gold watches were taken from
the passengers. The arrival of a freight
tfain evidently interfered with their
plans, for after putting out tho fire in
the locomotive, they mounted and rode
away without disturbing the occupants
of the sleeping car.

San Francisco, September 18.—A San

are two bodies of armed men on the
frontier—one of municipal militia under
Jose Mareno and Judge Selva, and the
other composed principally of Sonorans,
who support tho preteuses of ex-Gover

the border are much alarmed at the
presence of these parties. Judge Selva
has issued a proclamation reciting that
Legarby, the sub-Prefect, has abandon

likewise authorized to say that the letter
in question was not a letter to Kimpton

was a letter to Parker, and was pub

the floor of the convention. This letter
was one of the papers purchased by Mr.

Evarts concluded, the President an
nounced his pleasure at being able to
introduce to his fellow-people a man
well known to all, Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina. Full five minutes
elapsed before Governor Hampton could
speak, so loud and long were the cheers
given him. He said :
Mr. President and my Friends of Ken
tucky :
I congratulate you upon this au
spicious occasion and upon the magni
tude of the reception which we have
given to the President of the United
States. [Applause.] There is no place
in America where the thing could have
been better done, and I am sure that
there is no place in America where it has
been better done than in the city of
Louisville. [Applause.] There is no
place where it could have been more ap
propriate, because the political opin
ion of a majority of the people of Ken
tucky is different from those of his Ex
cellency. You have shown that you
recognize in him a man who has done
his duty; a man who has risen high
enough to be able to say that “he serves
his party best who serves his country
best,” for that is a sentiment which
ought to find a response in the breast of
every patriotic American. You have
come here to pay him honor, and I re
gard myself as extremely fortunate in
that I have been able to participate in
it, and without disrespect to the gentle
men who invited me to this reception, I
must say that I came chiefly that I
might, for “lama Southern man,” ex
tend a warm greeting to the President as
he struck Southern soil; as he stood on
the once “dark and bloody ground” of
Kentucky, no longer so, but as I trust in
God, here and elsewhere a land of peace,
prosperity and happiness, peace and
prosperity which he has mostly given
you. My friends of Louisville, 1 thank
you in the name of South Carolina, and
I will say to his Excellency that if he
will do us the honor to visit us there,
we will give him a greeting as warm as
this. Though, perhaps, we can’t show
him as many men, we will show him that
we have not forgotten that act of kind
ness and reconciliation and justice that
he performed for South Carolina. [Loud
applause.]

IIAYES IN LOUISVILLE.
Th© President’s Hpeecli at tli© Louisville Re
ception.
I have been, fellow-citizens, during
the last few days among the soldiers of
the Union, and then the men most early
to come together after this great divis
ion are those who mado the acquaint
ance of one another on the fields of car
nage. I have found it true on the other
side of the river, and I have found it
true here in Kentucky. A distinguished
statesman said to General Scott during
the war: “When the armies of the
Union are successful there will bo peace
and content everywhere.” Gen. Scott
remarked: “No, sir ; not for some time
after the war; for after the successful
close of the war, you will find that the
whole power of the Federal Government
will be necessary to keep down the bel
ligerent non-combatants of the country.”
(Applause.) Perhaps the old man had
the spirit of prophecy in him. Said my
friend, those who fight upon the field
learn to respect each other.
The soldiers of both armies imperiled
their lives for the cause, and such men
always respect each other. (Applause.)
It is for them to come together. In the
beginning I was under the impression
that our Southern friends had the ad
vantage of us—that you had better
marksmen and better horsemen in pro
portion to us. We had to learn to shoot
and to ride; but after we had learned it,
then it became a fight between Greek
and Greek, and we all know what that
means. (Cheers.) And now, my friends,
that being over, why shall not we come
together ? Oh, we have come together.
(Applause.) The demonstration in Lou
isville tells the whole story.
I need not shout myself hoarse before
this great audience in making a speech
about the happiness and peace that we
are now enjoying in all seotions of the
Union. This demonstration has made
the speech of the ocoasion. Nothing can
be added to it. I think wo can confi
dently look forward to the fraternal
union on the basis of the Constitution
as it now is, with all the amendments.
My Confederate friends, do you intend
to obey the whole Constitution and
amendments. (Applause.) I thought
you would. I believe you will, and that
removes tho last cause of dissension be
tween us. I look forward happily to the
realization of the bright vision of a
popular English author when he said:
“1 see a vast confederacy stretching
from the frozen North to tho glowing
South; from the white billows of the
Atlantic to the calm of" the Pa
cific—a main tjiat woqld contain one
people, one language and one faith, and
everywhere a home for freemen and a
refuge of every race and of every clime
to come together.” (Great applause.)

Chicago, September lit. —Gen. Sheri
dan lias an offioial report of the battle of
Big Hole, Montana, August 9, and ope
rations in that district preceding the
battle. Col. Gibbon reflects severely on
the inhabitants of Montana, who sus
tained the murderous Nez Perces by
trading off provisions to them for stock
stolen by them from the whites, thus
prolonging their flight and’' adding to
the ganger of pqrsiiit. The best esti
mate of their strength gives them 260
warriors, well armed and equipped. By
forced marches Gibbon came up
the hostiles with a command of seven
teen officers, 132 men and thirty-four
citizens. The attack was made late at
night, the Indians being completely
surprised, but as they immediately
sought tfio h.h ß^ 69 Salter and pour
ed fheir volleys into the troops as th%
latter came into open ground they did
considerable execution. However, in 20
minutes the whole camp was iu the pos
session of the troops. The Indians be
ing driven out, still shot with deadly
effect at long ranges. By a change of
base, shelter was obtained and
retaliatory firing was
with equal destruction p,f Indian
life. Thih Indians in the meantime had
captured a howitzer, which was coming
under escort and on mules’ backs, the
few privates who were with it fleeing
and leaving the officers to an unequal
fight. During the day various strate

Horace Cireeley’w Last Private Letter.

Greeley, which is thought to be the last
letter of confidential friendship which
he ever wrote :
New York, November 8, 1872.— My
Friend— We have been terribly beaten.
I was the worst beaten man who ever
ran for the high office. And I have been
assailed so bitterly that I hardly know
whether I was running for President or
the penitentiary. In the darkest hour
my long suffering wife left me, none too
soon, for she had suffered too deeply
and too long. I laid her in the ground
with hard dry eyes. Well, lam used
up. I cannot see before me. I have
slept little for weeks, and my eyes are
still hard to close, while they soon open
again. But no more of this. You, my
friend, went into this contest for me.
You knew, as I did, that we must stop
fighting the rebels some time. But it is
now settled that we never shall. * *
I need not speak of my wife. You
know the whole story of her long illness
and painless death. Her sufferings have
been so great that I rejoice that they
were ended. Remember me kindly to
Mrs. Tappan. lam faithfully yours,
Horace Greeley.

H. R. Stevens:
Dear Bir—ln the Spring of 1869 I was strick
en down with fever, wh ch had a long and al
most hopeless run. The best medical advice
being in attendance. I was taken through the
fever; but it left me terribly reduced and
weak, with excruciating pains in my side, back
and hips. I was completely prostrated with
Kidney Complaint, and no medicine seamed to
reach my case.
In this condition I was persuaded to try Veo
etise by a friend whom it cure I of the same
disease," and it seemed as though I could feel
the effect of the first dose through my whole
system ; and from that moment I began to
mend, gradually growing better from day to
day; aud I followed on with the Yeoetine,
until it completely restored me to health,
since which time I have been able to perform
my duties as a police officer, enjoying good
health ; and there is no doubt about the great
value of Veoktine in Kiduey Cemplaint and
similar diseases. I am. tir, respectf ullv,

All Diseases of the Blood.
If Yegetinf. will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
aud cure such diseases, restoring the patient
to perfect health after trying different physi
cians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it
not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer, you
can be cured ? Why is this medicine perform
ing such great enres ? It works in the blood,
in the circulating fluid, It can trulv be called
the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The great
source of disease originates in the blood ; aud
no med cine that does not act directly upon it,
to purify and renovate, had any just claim
upon public attention.
Seventy-one Years of Age.
East Marshfield, August 22, 1870.
Mr. Stevens :
Dear Sir—l am seventy-one years of age;
have suffered many years with Kidney Com
plaint, weakness in my back and stomach. 1
was induced by friends to try your Veoetine,
and I think it the best medicine for weakness
of the kidneys I ever used. I have tried many
remedies for this complaint, and never found
so much relief as from the Veoetine. It
strengthens aud invigorates the whole sys
tem. Many of my acquaintances have taken
it, and I believe it to be good for all the com
plaints for which it is recommended.
You:s truly, JOSIAH H. SHERMAN.
Would Give a Dollar fora Dose.
Boston, May 80, 1871.
H. R. Stevens, Esq. ;
Dear Sir—l have been badly afflicted with
Kidney Complaint for ton years; have suffered
groat pain in my back, hips and side, with
great diffionlty in passing urine, which was of
ten and iu very small quantities, frequently
accompanied with blood and excrutiating pain.
I have faithfully tried most of the popular
remedies recommended for my complaint; I
have been under the treatment of some of the
most skillful physicians tn Boston, all of whom
pronounced my case incurable. This was my
condition when I was advised by a friend to
try the Veoetine, and I could see the good ef
fects from the first dose I took, and from that
moment 1 kept on improving until I was en

LIFE A BURDEN.
Boston, November 2, 1873.
H. R. Stevens, Esq.;
Dear Sir—From a poor, emaciated sufferer,
the Veoetine has restored me to perfect
health.
I havo for years been a terrible sufferer from
Canker and Dyspepsia, at times rendering life
almost a burden to me. lam now fifteen (15)
pounds heavier than when I commenced the
use of Veoetine.
I will make mention that I was also a great
sufferer from Kidney Complaint, causing ex
cruciating pain through the small of the back
neatly all of the time. This, too, Veoetine
has cured, and I am now a perfect picture of
health, and I will add, happiness—all caused
from the use of a few bottles of Veoetine.
Respectfully, 11. G. HUGHES,
1 Union Place. Boston, Mass.
Veoetine is composed of Roots, Barks aud
Herbs. It is very pleasant to take ; every
child likes it.
Vcgetine is Sold By All Druggists.
