A writer in the Chron. & Con., suggests
‘that the city and county join their hands

the canal, over the pump house, a crusher
which could be run by water, or steam
power already available there, This ma
chine would turn out material ten times
as fast os the present hand power.” This
is a good idea and could bn accomplished
by degrees as the means may be available.
Judge Gray, the successor of Mr.

The Pre*s Convention, one hun
dred strong, met at Bainbridge on

They were handsomely treated at

bridge. All of the old board of offi
cers was re-elected. They had a ban
quet and a ball was given them. The
body on the 18th left for New Orlean*
and the Exposition.
It is a peculiar position of Mr. Cleveland
to La praised I y Democrats and Republi
cans and especially as many republicans
voted for him, and he owes his election to
the votes cast for him by republican vo
ters. That fact cannot influence him to
weaken his devotion to democratic princi
ples. He will stand by the great doctrines
of tiie party at all times and under all cir
cumstances. His cabinet constitutes a
body of exceptional strength, each being
well fitted by his individual experience,
fur the duties to which he Is assigned, and
all possessing the qualities that entitle
them to a place in a hard-working reform
administration.
President Cleveland has Inaugurated
new ways. He goes to bed early and gets
up soon. The family breakfast in ths
White House about 9 a. m. and the Presi
dent is at work soon after. He will make
a model president we think. See here:
The President will keep a carriage, or
carriages, as the case may be, at his own
expense. Every other public officer will be
expected to do the same, except where the
public business renders carriages necessa
ry. A Tew official equipages will be need
ed in order to expedite matters, but they
will be very few. The members of the
Cabinet will set a good exampls to their
subordinates. Attorney-General Garlaad
has dismissed the landaulets of the De
partment of Justice. Secretary Bayard
always walks. So does Secratary Man
ning. The rest ride as little as possible.
DEATH OF HON. MARK A. COOPER.
The death of this grand old Georgian on
the 18th will cause a great deal of sym-
’ pathy from Georgians to the family.—
| He was a noble man. He served his State
in Congress, and was one of the trio,
“Cooper, Colquitt and Black,” so famous
in the political history of Georgia. He
was defeated for Governor by George W.
Crawford. He was 85 years old and was
born in Hancock County.
He was an earnest advocate of the first
railroad built in the State, built up the
Etowah iron works, was the projector of
the* Dade coal mines, founded the State
Agricultural Society, was a charter trustee
ot Mi-rcer University, and for half a
century has been an honored trustee of the
State University.

Hurrah for our President.
Here is an official act of President
Cleveland that will give the country
an idea of what sort of stuff he is
mads of;
Tuesday morning he came out into
one of the ante-rooms of the executive
offices and found some fifty or sixty
of the leading newspapers of the
country filed and hanging in cherry-
wood brackets. “Where did all these
newspapers come from?” he asked.
He was told that they were subscrib
ed for out of the contingent fund of
the White House under the last ad
ministration, and that the most of
them were still running on unexpired
subscriptions. The President re
plied : “I want you to atop every one
of these papers. If I want any news
papers I Will subscribe aid pay for
them myself.”
A NEW ORLEANS TRIP.
Editors Union and Recorder:
A party, fourteen of us, left here
Wednesday morning, March the 4th,
for the World’s Cotton Centennial at
New Orleans. Breakfasted in Macon,
dined in Atlanta, and a portion of us
took Pulman cars via Montgomery
and Mobile. The others of us took
the elegant Mann Boudoir car, call
ed “Fra-Diavola—Brether of the De
vil”—and while the accommodation
and conveniences were splendid, the
speed over and around the continu
ous short curves on the Georgia Pa
cific Railway, made us believe we
were on the Devil himself. Passing
Birmingham, supper house, we were
much interested in the burning fur
naces along side the R. R. By a triv
ial accident to our engine we were
delayed a short time in reaching
New Orleans. But we were there
just in time to witness the Firemen’s
parade which was simply grand. Af
ter securing desirable quarters which
was with much difficulty, we took in
the sights along the great Mississip
pi river.
After lodging and breakfast, we
were off to the Exposition on street
cars drawn by a mule, then turned
over to a dummy engine which land
ed us at the main entrance.
At a suggestion from some of our
party we agreed to divide and travel
in search of wonders, and we found
them, agreeing at the same time to
meet at a stated point at dinner hour,
and the same programme was adopt
ed for the afternoon, and each suc
ceeding day. We took in the sights
by States, one at a time, and we found
our verdict for the best display as
follows:
Louisiana, first; Texas, second;
Nebraska, third; Arkansas, fourth;
and so on until we reach Georgia, at
or near the foot of the list, and this
very fact, as acknowledged by all,
made us blush for very shame to own
that we were a Georgian even by
adoption.
She makes very little pretension in
minerals except what the Georgia
Pacific Railway does for her. The
Savannah Board of Trade gives us a
turpentine distillery, fixtures, and
samples of rosin and spirits of tur-
entine to look at. But tillers of the
soil in this, the world’s show, is a
blank. May we ask who is responsi
ble to our good name for being plac
ed at the foot of the class?
All the States and Territories are
represented in the Government build
ing. The negro department is up
stairs in this building, and is well
worthy of attention. Just to see their
painting, c-rayon work, and needle
work, one would be surprised.
In the main building we see every
thing imaginable, and from all parts
of the world. Both these buildings
are of immense magnitude, but to
one disinterested about the products
of the States the main building will
furnish interest to a careful observer
for months. The Music Hall which
seats about GOOD persons is in the
main building. Mexico leads in ma
ny articles in her display, especially
in fine leather, fine shoes and fine
silks. She is erecting a novel and
beautiful Exhibition building of her
own, near the main building, and it
will soon be complete.
The Horticultural Hall lighted up
at night is a novel of beauty. Sides
and cover being of glass present the
appearance of diamonds in moonlight.
The exhibit is mostly of fruit from
Florida and Mexico, and the latter is
entitled to first place in the iloral ex
hibit.
The Art Gallery is small and while
the figures representing tiie prices
are bold and extravagant there are
many cheap productions, yet there
are some very fine.
The Liberty Bell is looked for and
found by all.
The electric R. R. is attracting
some attention and fully as much
money from its admirers.
The cotton exhibit is only fair. We
have often had, this season, on our
street as fine short staple cotton as is
seen there.
The dog show was splendid, about
240 dogs of all kinds were on exhibi
tion.
The U. S. Life Saving Service at
tracted large crowds daily at three,
o’clock p. m„ to witness their drill.
The government has done her
share by this Exposition and if prop
erly managed would not, in our opin
ion, be so frequently called upon to
appropriate money.
If the Commissioners and the city
of New Orleans can’t manage this
Exposition judiciously, then why not
let the government take the matter
in charge, and make a financial suc
cess of it.
One fact is patent—New Orleans
is not equal to the occasion, to use
a common term, “she has bit off
more than she can chew”. All in all
its a big thing, something we don’t
see every day.
Wilkes county, above all other sec
tions of Dixie, was most intimately
related to and connected with the
leaders of the “Lost Cause”. It is a
remarkable fact that the parents and
grand parents of President Jefferson
Davis once lived here, and the bones
of the latter repose beneath her soil.
Equally true is it that Vice President
A. H. Stephens, Secretary of State,
Robert Toombs, Mr. L. Pope Walker,
Secretary of War, and Judge John A.
Campbell, afterwards also'a member
of the Confederate Cabinet, were all
natives of Wilkes proper, or original
Wilkes. Strange to relate too, the
parents of Postmaster General Rea
gan, of Texas, formerly resided here.
These facts alone are sufficient to
stamp this grand old county’ with im
mortality.—H. H. J., So. World.

Washington, March 16th, 1885.
The situation in Washington is in
teresting, and even surprising. It
is plain that in the presidential chair,
around it, or behind it, there is a
mind and a will. I will not say that
certain fiery reformers are happy in
the realization of their impatient
hope. And it must be said that those
most iu need of reformation, have
taken new heart and hold; but let
all wait with patience, and prayer,
and they will, I think, see the glory
of the new dispensation revealed,
with the exaltation of the right men,
and principles—with the oonfusiou
of thieves, and moneychangers who
have so long preyed upon the sub
stance of the country.
There is an old latin maxim, festi-
na lente, hasten slowly, and this
seems to be the rule of the new ad
ministration. Reform was very prop
erly begun at the White House.
Four clerks swept from the office
with one swoop of the new broom.
Five thousand dollars per year, and
much desk room saved. The exam
ple was taken up in the Treasury
Department where Secretary Man
ning has discharged forty useless
employees from one bureau.
See’y. Lamar has first applied his
broom to stables adjoining the Interi
or Department. For years of Republi
can ascendancy carriages and horses
have been kept at extravagant ex
pense in all the Departments, and
have been used not for the public
service, but for the convenience of
the families of public officials. The
fine equipage that has been used to
convey ladies to receptions late at
night, has been ordered to be sold,
and the seven persons who have been
carried on the pay roll as drivers
will no longer have even the sem
blance of a right to draw their un
earned pay. Of course this is only a
beginning. In all the Departments,
aud in all the bureaus, and subordi
nate offices superfluous clerks are
stumbling over one another. Turn
the loafers out and then it will be
easier to find the rascals. Twenty
thousand employees can be discharg
ed with results of positive improve
ment, and expedition in Government
work. Get your little pencil and
multiply 20,000 by 1,500, and you will
have an idea, but not a full one, of
the amount that will be saved; for
you have not taken into account the
office room, and furniture of this
vast army.
It is not necessary to say that
there is much uneasiness, and alarm
in all the departments. The reduc
tion of the clerical force is an unex
pected flank movement, and it has
set thousands of clerks quaking in
their luxurious sinecures. “Turn the
loafers out” is a new and terrifying
sound.
There are many straws indicative
of a new era. An order has been is
sued to all the employees in the
Patent Office that there shall be no
more reading or talking during of
fice hours, and that those classes and
divisions Yvhich are behind with their
work must work after office hours
until it is brought up to date. The
Patent OmW3 has been conducted in
a lax and slatternly way. In some
classes of invention, as textiles, har
vesters, printing, stoves, and fur
naces, household furniture, build
ers hardware, surgery, etc., the Pat
ent Office Examiners are from three
to twelve months behind with their
work, and applicants for patents have
frequently to wait six months or a
year before their cabes sre takep up.
The recent order indicates that the
new administration will introduce a
new order of things, not only in the
Patent Office, but in other branches
of the public service.
Tiie rush of office seekers has abat
ed, and the new administration has
more time to address itseif to work.
It is a fact much commented on here
that very few office-seekers have come
from the South, and that many have
come from the Northern, and North
western republican states. Since
the President has announced that he
will not. hear applicants for office
personally, but will refer all appli
cations to the proper Cabinet officers,
he has been but little troubled.
There will doubtless be important
changes made, but. policy and good
business management would require
that they should not be made until
after the most careful deliberation,
and a thorough study of the needs
and abuses of the service. Any per
son acquainted with affairs will
know that the work will be all the
better done for the caution that pre
cedes its inception.

What the Sexton Said.
Mr. Lewis Edwards, Sexton of Mt. Ver
non Place Church, Washington, D. C., cei-
tifles that for several months past he had
been suffering with a severe cough that
distressed him day and night. He was
very much debilitated, with constant pains
in liis chest. After trying several various
remedies he used the Red Star Cough
Cure, which gave him entire relief.

FIRE IN ATLANTA.
Jame3 Bank Building Destroyed.
Constitution, 19 th.
: The large six story building of James’s
: bank block, ou the corner of Alabama and
Whitehall streets, was laid in ashes yes
terday morning by a destructive fire which
began at hair past two o’clock.
At that time the fire alarm sounded, and
the department at once responded. In a
few minutes after the first alarm, llames
began to leap from the top of the burning
building, and »oon the whole structure
was a mass of flames.
The chief had hardly given thelirst or
der tor water from the engine at the corn
er of Alabama and Broad before the crowd
was shocked at the piercing shrieks of a
man and woman seen standing on the roof
ot the lower part of tiie building. The wo
man screamed at tiie top of her voice, ‘Oh !
my God!” Oh! my God!” that made the
people below thrill with the shocking spec
tacle. The mau on the roof yelled: “My
God! Come on!” When first seen the two
were about middle way of the building.
The flames were shooting skywards from
the burning part, not forty feet front them
and they felt the heat gradually getting
hotter and hotter. It seemed an intermin
able time beiore the book and ladder com
pany could secure two ladders, though
they were in front of the two people on
the roof in less than a minute. While the
ladders were being adjusted, the man and
woman moved down to the extreme corn
er of the building next to the railroad and
shouted, “Oh! My God! Come on for
God’s sake!” The crowd below responded
as in voic-’, “The ladders will be up in a
moment!” This seemed to give them hope
and they remained quiet a few seconds.
Then the fire grew hotter, and the man
reached up in his desperation and grasp
ed a telephone wire which iiung over the
roof. His chances were getting at a low
ebb. The crowd saw his determination
and shouted to him to wait. But the man
was in a frenzy. He dared not wait, and
was proving himself a hero. lie leaned
over the wall and saw the ladders could
not be spliced. The woman also, looked
over, and hotii again shouted “My God!
hurry up, we can’t stand the fire!”
When tiiii firemen saw they could not
make the ladders reach the roof from the
outside, a quartette of brave laddies haul
ed down the lighter one and rushed up the
stairway. Just at that moment the tm^rt
SWUNG HIS WIFE OVER THE EDGE
of the wall, grasped the wire and was in
the act of tying it around her body. Ha
had his wits still about him, however, and
as the crowd below assured him that he
would be rescued from tbe inside, he calm
ed himself at once, and he and his wife
stood gazing .into the upturned laces as
calmly for a few moments as if nothing
was wrong. Then they paced up and
down the roof like two restless hyenas in
close confinement, exciting the intensest
sympathy from those on the streets. Men
rushed after matresses, quilts, anything,
and piled them below the desperate couple.
Nothing was ever seen in Atlanta more
horrible. They had come from the Alaba
ma street side of the building, crawling
along the hallway’ in the most suffocating
smoke. They roomed on the last floor
and their names were Mr. aud Mrs. I. V.
Sims, of Williamsburg, S. C, A young son
about twelve years old, Yvas with them,
and all were in their right clothes. The
boy was not seen by the crowd.
It will be understood that the new part
of the block is one story higher than the
old structure. When the trio got to a
window at the end of the hallway’ they
were nearly overcome by the smoke. They
could do nothing more than jump to the
roof, about fifteen feet below. This they
did, ail being stunnpd tor a moment by’ the
fall. The man was badly injured about
the spine, and the woman bruised consid
erably.
The boy was unhurt, though he wo was
broken out with the measles. To add to
the horror of everything, the night was
intensely cold; a misting rain was falling,
freezing as it struck the earth. The peo
ple on the roof were burning attheir backs,
with ice blowing in their faces. It was a
period of horror with them, and torture
was pricking them from every quarter.
They were seventy feet in the air and for
ty feet from a sea of flame, with every
avenue of escape cut off, They screamed
and could hear their own echoes come
back from the flames on one side and the
opposite walls on the other. While iu this
state of horror, they were lost to the sight
of the crowd. The firemen reached the
roof, taking the woman first, the boy next
and the man last. They’ were borne down
the ladders and into the street, and from
ttience into the parlors of the National ho
tel. The woman was laid on a sofa. She
was white as a corpse and as limp as a
rag. .
“I AM ALMOST GONE!”
were her first words.^A moment later the
little boy was brought in. He came to his
mother’s side, and the latter barely whis
pered; “My darling boy!” she had not
strength to fold hiiu to her arms. When
Mr. Sims, her husband, was brought in,
his wife saw him and said: “My hus
band!” Then she was carried to a room
which Mrs. Sloan prepared. Mr. Sims said
ho was not excited, but his back was ruin
ed. All of them were properly cared for.
Their escape was miraculous. The fright
alone was enough to kill them.
While all thi3 was going on, another wo
man had appeared at one of the windows
on the Alabama street side in her night
clothes. She was determined to escape
There was an iron ladder running down
tiie wall. This tiie woman reached out
and grasped, and was on the grouud in
five seconds.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ED. MERCER.
But if all this is terrible, another incident
was even more so. Mr. Ed. Mercer was
sleeping in one of the upper rooms. Mr.
Mercer had ju«t gone around, as was his
usual custom, to put out t lie gas in the
halls. He saw or smelled smoke when he
went to his room. Ho sat down in front of
the grate, took off his shoes and warmed
his feet. The smoke growing denser in
his room, he wont into the hall and saw
that it came from tiie elevator shaft. He
then went down to the first floor, and
while near the elevator, an explosion oc
curred, and Mr. Mercer was hurled to the
basement floor in a mass of lire and a per
fect chaos of wrecked timbers. He was
rendered unconscious for a moment, when
two stalwart negro men who were in the
bar, rushed in and removed him. He
would have been buried alive but for them.
On his forehead was a crescent-shaped
wound that laid bare the skull. His right
leg was broken, while both hands appear
ed bleeding and crushed. Ilis face was
black as a Turk’s, and blood clotted his
hair, blinded his eyes and streaked down
his cheeks. It would be impossible to im
agine a more ghastly’ spectacle than Mr.
Mercer presented. His giant form had
stood what few men could have endured.
The strong arms of a policeman and some
other men carried him down to the Na
tional, where he received every possible
attention from attending physicians. Mr.
Sims and his family also received medical
j attention as soon as available.
MR. JAMES TALKS.
! Mr. James reached the building about
i half past three. To a Constitution report-
j er he said: "The building—this portion
j of it—is insured for $31,000. By my con
tract with the Central block company I
have been required to keep $31,000 on it.
I have kept tiie $31,000. 1 can’t say, of
course, what effect the on ruing will have.”
The building was worth about $60,600 or.
more.
On tho ground floor, the bank occupied
the corner room. The vault is supposed
to bo perfectly good, and tho books, pa
pers, etc., are In it. These are supposed
to be ail right. Next to the bank, on
Whitehall street, is Thornton’s book 9tore.
The room was large and fully stocked.
Some of the stock was moved, but all was
damaged. The stoek was valued at about
$12,000. There was an insurance, but the
amount could not be ascertained. Next on
Whitehall was A. B. Anderson’s clothing
house. Only a few days ago Mr. An
drews’new stock reached the city. His
stock is valued at about $12,000 to $15,000.
J. H. CANFIELD FOUND IN THE RUINS.
Joseph H. Canfield, the cider maker, lost
his life in the lire. His remains were
found in the debris. The man was lying
flat upon his face stretched at full length
His head was gone. No arms remained.
One foot had been burned away. The body
was black and charred. No one Knows
how or at what stage of the fire the old
man died. No one knows whether his
death was a lingering, torturing one, or
whether death came so suddenly that it
was not realized. The old man’s room
was au Inside one. There were no open
ings by’ which he could be seen by those
on the streets. His body’ was stretched
at full length, and this was taken as an
evidence that the old man was suffocated.
Captain Critu thinks his death was a pain
less. He thinks that Canfleld was asleep
stretched upon his bed and that ho died
before the fire reached his room.
OTHERS WHO WERE INJURED.
Several additional accidents’ were dis
covered yesterday, and in one case tt is
highly probable that death will ensue —
\V. R. Henderson and B. E. Henderson
two brothers who work for Wilson, the
baker, occupied a room on the fourth floor
Ween they awoke the hallways were thick
with smoke and tiie flames were cousum
ing tho building rapidiv. Hand In hand
they made a successful attempt to reach
tbe stairway. 1‘hey knew that to sepa
rate in tiie dense smoke would be to lose
one another. They preferred to
MEET DEATH TOGETHER
than for one to escape and leave the other
to perish. In their descent they’ encoun
tered a burning stairway. To turn back
was certain death. There was but one
way to save themselves ami that was to
make a run. This they did. With a sin
glebound they went through the bright
blaze, lauding safely on the stairway be
low. When they made the leap they did
not know whether they would land on a
stairway or in the •
BOTTOM OF THE BURNING BUILDINO.
The chance was a desperate one. They
took it and came out alive but like singed
rats. B. E. Henderson was terribly burn
ed about the bands and face and was more
seriously injured even than Mr. Mercer.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The origin of the fire is still unknown.-
Neither has tiie explosion been explained.
Everybody has ids story to tell about the
two, and columns could be written of it.
THE LOVES OF CASTRUCClO
AND EUTHANASIA.
Euthanasia, Countess of Yalperga, was
in her own person a sovereign princess,
but a warm lover of * 'dom, and much
attached, by family cmr. ’’ons, to Flor
ence, the capital oi “lie Gu^.phie cause in
Italy. She had been the companion of
Oastruccio’s boyhood. He was of an an-
eiQiil and .noble family and Euthanasia
met him while his rnannood was opening
in glory, and she ;r>ve<l him because she
believed lie was ail that was good as well as
all that was glorious. TheGnibeiline Cas-
truceio became in time a prince, a tyraut,
the conqueror of half Tuscany, the dread
ful threatener of annihilation to Florence.
Euthanasia dissevering this refused to
marry him as she had promised—from
less to more, she even became his enemy,
in all but tbe heart, he takes her castle
from her and reduces her to a private sta
tion, in a word breaks up the relations in
which he had stood to this charming lady.
Although he had adored her for her beau
ty and accomplishments, his affections
were weaned from her by her love of liber
ty, her firm adherence to measures to pro
mote the happiness of the people and her
determined opposition to his tyranical
measures. Castrucelo was all powerful,
and the people were fascinated by his il
lustrious military accomplishments. To
add to liis desertion aud disregard of Eu
thanasia, liis former love was dissipated by
the attractions of a certaiu Beatrice of
Ferrara. This Beatrice was an exquisite
beauty of seventeen—invested in her own
eyes, and in the superstitions of ail about
her with certain mysterious attributes.
This beautiful maiden had the enthusiasm
and the daring confidence of a priest
ess, a martyr, and prophetess. She con
ceived herself to have been put into the
world and gifted by God for the accom
plishment of some high and holy work.
She expounded tho language of tho stars,
her dark eyes kindled the souls of congre
gated men, she was worshipped, adored,
reverenced. No one dreamed of connect
ing the idea of love with the Ancilla Dei,
and Castrucclo’s temporary passion ceas
ed to exist in the supposed divinity of
Beatrice of Ferrara. Many under differ
ent charges had been incarcerated in pris
on and were liable to be put to death un
der the decision of Castruccio’s bloody
tribunal. His heart palpitated as he con
templated the danger to which Euthana
sia was exposed. One night, a little be
fore the middle hour, Euthanasia’s prison-
chamber was unlocked, and the jailor en
tered with a lamp in his hand, accompa
nied by one of majestic figure, and a coun
tenance beautiful but sad, and tarnished
by tiie expression of pride that animated
it. “She sleeps!" whispered the jailor.
His companion raised his linger in token
of silence; and taking the lamp from the
man’s hand, approached ner mattress
which was spread upon the floor, and
kneeling down beside it, earnestly gazed
upon that face he had known so weH In
happier days. She made an uneasy mo
tion, as if tho lamp which he held disturb
ed her, he placed it on tbe ground and
shaded it with his figure, while by the
soft light that fell upon her, he tried to
read the Images that were working Id
her mind.
She appeared but slightly altered since
he had first seen her. If thought had
drawn some lines in her brow, the Intel
lect which Its beautiful form9 expressed,
effaced them to the eye of the spectator;
her golden hair fell over her face and
neck; he gently drew it back, while she
smiled in her sleep a smile past descrip
tion, lovely. He gazed on her long; her
white arm lay on her black dress, and he
imprinted a sad kiss upon it. She awoke,
and saw Castrucelo gazing upon her.
She started up, “What does this mean?”
she cried. His countenance which had
softened as he looked upon her, now re
sumed its severe expression. “Madonna”
he replied, “I come to take you from this
place.” She looked on him, endeavoring
to read his purpose in his eyes, but she
saw there no explanation of her doubts,
and asked, “whither do you intend to lead
me?” “That, you will know hereafter.”
She paused and he added with a disdain
ful smile, “The Countess of Valpergo
need not fear, while I have the power to
protect her from the fate she prepared for
me.” “What fate?” “Death.” He spoke
in an undertone, but with one of those
modulations of voice, which bringing to
her mind scenes of other days, was best
befitted to make an impression upon her.
She replied almost unconsciously, “I did not
prepare death for you; God Is my witness.
] “Well, Madonna,” he said, “we will not
quarrel about words, or liko lawyers,
clothe our purposes in such a subtle guise,
! that it might deceive all, if truth did not
destroy tho spiders web, I come to lead
you from prison.” “Not thus my lord,
| U ot thus will I bo saved. I disdain any lon
ger to assert jny intentions, since I am not
belie veil. But am I to be liberated alone,
or are my friends included in your merci
ful intentions?” “Your friends” he said,
“are too numerous and too dangerous en
emies of the commonwealth to be rescued
from ttie fate that awaits them. Your sex,
perhaps tiie memory of our former
frienJship plead for you. I do uot think
that it accords witi. your wisdom to
make conditions with one who has ths

“I will not yield,” sho said, “the addition
of one poor woman will add little to the
number of your victims. H my associates
must die I caunot de-ert them.” "Is your
conscience so officious now or did your
heart silence it when you plotted my de
struction,” lie said. “Castruccio” she
said, “you know me too well to believe that
I plotted your death or that of auy human
creature. My earnest prayer was that
you might live and make your life less
miserable and less unworthy than it had
hitherto been.” Castruccio saw her deep
earnestness, and believed every word she
uttered. I see how you were deceived by
that arch traitor Boudelmonte. I yield
to your wish and pardon all.” The jailor
could not contain himself. He knelt to
Euthanasia. Castruccio also took the haud
of Euthanasia, and said to her “know be
loved Euthanasia that your life is dearer
tome than my own. For absolute safety,
consent to go. These are dangerous times.
I have arranged for you to be taken to
Sicily, and at a suitable time my haud
will be yours as my heart is now.” It was
a frosty, cloudless night, Castruccio
rides with Euthanasia till she is within
sight of the shore. He bids her iarewell,
and she soon iiuds herself embarked in n
vessel bound for Sicily.
"About noon they met a Pisan vessel,
who bade them beware of a Genoese squad
ron, which was cruizing off Corsica; so
they bore in nearer to the shore. At sun
set that day a tierce scirocco rose, accom
panied by thunder and lightning, such os
la seldom seen during tho winter season.
Presently they saw huge dark columns
descending from Heaven, and meeting the
sea, which boiled beneath, they were
borne on by the storm, and scattered by
the wind. The rain came down in sheets;
and the hail clattered, as it fell to its grave
in the ocean—the ocean was lashed into
such waves, that many milos inland, dur
ing the pauses of the wind, the hoarse and
constant murmurs of the far off sea,
made the well-housed landsmen mutter
one more prayer for those exposed to its
fury.
"Such was tho storm, as it was seen
from shore. Nothing more was ever
known of the Sicilian vessel which bore
Euthanasia. It never reached its destin-
«d port, nor were any of those on board
ever after seen. The sentinels who
watched near Yado, a tower on the sea
beach of the Maremma, fouud, on the fol
lowing day, that the waves had washed on
shore some of the wrecks of a vessel. They
picked up a few planks and a broken mast,
round which, tangled with some of Its
cordage, was a white silk handkerchief,
such a one as had bound tiie tresses of Eu
thanasia the night that sho had embark
ed, and in its knot were a few golden hairs.
“She was never heard of more: even her
name perished. She slept in the cozy cav
ern of the ocean; the sea-weed was tang
led with her shining hair; and the spirit
of the deep wondered tliat the earth had
trusted so lovely a creature to the barren
bosom of the sea, which, as an evil step
mother, deceives and betrays ail commit
ted to her cafe.
Castruccio had looked for the time to
soon como when his early love, frustrated
for a time would put him in possession of
as lovely a spirit as ever breathed, who
had never ceased to love him during all
the contentions between her subjects and
followers and the powerful party which
made Castruccio so famous as to draw
forth from the celebrated Muciiiavolli one
of the most notable and interesting sketch
es of the times in which he lived. The hor
rible catastrophe, in which Euthanasia
lost her life, broke his spirits and he lived
but a short time afterwards. When they
came to his bedside during ills lust illness
and asked his directions about his funeral,
he said "lay me on my face in tbe coffin
for everything wil! be reversed even long
after my departure.” In tho last extremity
he looked mournfully around, uttered the
name, “Euthanasia,” and expired.
Relief from Malaria Poison.
For six months past I havo been affect
ed with a very serious typhoid malaria,
which I contracted on my orange grove in
northwestern Florida. I tried several rem
edies, but everything failed me. Two
weeks ago I purchased a bottle of Swift’s
Specific, which has proved a sure cure for
this dreadful malady. I had almost given
up hope of ever being well again, for I had
tried so many remedies, all of which had
Tailed to do any good. Would to God that
all the afflicted people residing in the ma
larious counties of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama would read this and try theS. S.
S. instead of dosing themselves with quin
ine and mineral remedies. 1 feel it my du
ty to suffering hnmamty to write this cer
tificate, for it may be tbe means of many
of*my old friends trying this great remedy
as I have done. So strong is my faith in
it that is every case whero tho directions
are followed I will guarantee a sure cure
or forfeit on* hundred doiiats.

“It is a Wonderful Remedy.”
For many years my blood was in a bad
condition, manifesting its character by a
scrofulous breaking out on both my ank
les, which caused me considerable suffer
ing as well as great annoyance. Seeing
the name of Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, of
Columbus, Ga., attached to a certificate
concerning a cure by iwift’s Specific, I
wrote to him about this remedy. His re
ply was that “it is a wonderful remedy.”
I tried it and found the action very much
as described in the directions. I used about
one dozen bottles, observed a steady and
almost daily improvement from the start.
I was entirely cured of this disagreeable
and distressing disease. That has been
nearly a year ago, and I find no signs of
the disease returning, and am ready to
testify with Rov. Mr. Campbell that Swift’s
Specific “is a wonderful remedy.

A Remarkable Sscape.
