two years raised a peculiar grade of the
vegetable squash, which has been a puz.
zle to many as to whether it should be
called a pumpkin or a squash. The vine,
however, will admit of no disoussion. It
is verily a squash vine, though it produces
fruit to equal in size the pumpkin.
Strange to say, Mr. McLendon has no
idea when and in what manner he came
possessed of the seed. When first
planted, he thought he was planting
merely the ordinary squash, and cannot
as yet account for the manner in which
he came into possession of the valuable
seed. It is never neces-ary to prepare
more than one at a time, even for a large
family. The taste is more delicious than
the ordinary squash, for which reason
they are better than the common squash
in more particulars than one.
The following from the Atlanta Consti
tution is evidently based on an article in
the Commonwealth, ..which we have not
seen : Something over three years ago
Judge Pish, a prominent Republican
citizen, was assassinated at his home in
the town of Oglethorpe. The murder
created cc~ \d>: able of a sensation, not
only because of the prominence of the
murdered man in his community, but
also because of the brutality of the deed.
Rufus B. Bullock, then Governor of
Georgia, offered $6,000 reward for the
apprehension and conviction of the
murderers. This tempting bait at
tracted many detectives to the case.
Among others, Ed. Murphy and
Mr. Rasberry, both officers of this city,
went to Oglethorpe to work the matter
up. Henry P. Farrow, then Attorney
General of Georgia, actively exercised
himself in the prosecution and conviction
of the murderers. Two parties were ar
rested, a Mr. Holsenbake and a Mr.
Lloyd, both well-known citizens of Ogle
thorpe. To render a conviction of the
accused certain, the detectives resorted
to a trick of doubtful morality. They
secreted themselves under a large
box, placed for that purpose in
the prisoners’ cell, and listened to
a conversation which took place between
them when they supposed they were
alone. Rasberry subsequently upon the
trial testified to what he had heard. Mur
phy, we learn, was not introduced. Upon
the admissions thus sworn to the prisoners
were convicted, and finally executed.
Holsenbake died admitting that he had
killed Fish, and denouncing C jlonel Far
row, whom he charged with violating his
word to him in reference to the use he
made of his confessions. Lloyd died
protesting his entire innocence of the
crime. The dying statements of the
prisoners, together with the full history
of the homicide, trials and convictions
were fully published at the time. The
reward offered by Gov. Bullock was paid
in process of time. The matter passed
away from public view, and perhaps has
been forgotten by many. There are some,
however, who from the first have never
doubted the innocence of Lloyd. This
doubt has gradually assumed proportions,
until, of late, it has been currently re
ported that the life of an innocent man
has been deliberately sworn away by de
tectives, and that with the connivance of
Col. H. P. Farrow, who is charged with
having received the sum of two thousand
dollars of the money. The detectives are
now also charged with having received
the balance. This report almost sur
passes belief, and, if true, will consign
the parties concerned to eternal infamy.
It demands the fullest investigation, for
if Farrow and Murphy are innocent of
wrong, as we sincerely trust they are,
this horrible falsehood should be
halted where it is, and the parties
who originated it brought to punish
ment. On the other hand, if it is true,
the public should know it. Rasberry
was subsequently shot in Atlanta by
Penn Bedell. Before his death it is
alleged that, under the influence of an
irresistable remorse, he made a full con
fession of the entire matter, and ad
mitted that Lloyd was innocent, and that
his conviction was a put up job. This
confession will be sworn to, we are in
formed. by several parties who heard it,
and from it has started this report. A.
representative of the Constitution called
yesterday afternoon upon Col. Henry P.
Farrow to hear his side of the matter. The
Colonel said that he had not yet seen
the article, and consequently could not
reply to it. He stated, however, that he
was satisfied it was written by an enemy
of his, whom he knew, and for the ex
press purpose of being made capital of
against him. He denied in toto receiv
ing any $2,000, or having acted wrongly
in the matter. The reporter then called
upon an attorney of the city who was un
derstood to be well posted as to the facts
of the charge. This gentleman declined
to communicate anything at present, ex
cept to say that the publication in yester
day’s Conimonwealth was true, and would
be so proved when the proper time came.
This was all he felt at liberty to reveal at
present, and the reporter withdrew.
A Relic of Bunker Hill.
The Virginia City Territorial Enter
prise says: “ He was long, lean, lank
and limber, and evidently a descendant
of the early Pilgrims. He was of the
Gumption Cute order, and as he stood on
the comer of C and Silver streets, among
a swaying crowd of six, he showed them
a relic of a hundred years ago. He ex
plained to them the situation, and dwelt
upon the scenes of the memorable morn
ing which ushered m the 17th of June,
1776, and the American Revolution.
He pictured to his hearers the rail
fence and the hastily constructed earth
works thrown up during the night by
those Minutemen of old. He told how
Ward was there, andPrescottandPutnam,
and Pomeroy, and Gridley, and Stark,
and the lamented Warren. He told of
the men behind their temporary ramparts
with their “do or die” determination of
resistance to tyranny and oppression.
He sketched the approach of the British,
the reserved fire of the Americans, the
recoil of the invaders, and the “wounded
and dead lying like swaths of new mown
hay upon the Charlestown meadows.”
He portrayed their second advance “as
came the waters of the Mystic river, red
with blood,” and how again that murder
ous fire thinned their ranks and sent
them whirling down the hill. He sketched
the consternation of the patriots when
their ammunition gave out and they were
at the mercy of the invaders.
“Here,” said he, and he produced from
his pocket a handful of musket balls.
“And here,” and the balls were followed
by an old-fashioned horn of powder, “are
the relics of those early days.”
One of the attentive listeners asked
how it was, if the patriots were out of
ammunition, these relics, of what they
most needed, came to exist.
“Yes ” said he, “they were out of am
munition, and they wished they had
powder and balls, and all such things,
and this is some of the ammunition they
wished they had”
Tehrible Acorn ent.—On Saturday
afternoon, an engine on the Carolina
Central was pushing before it a tram of
ten cars loaded with wood, when the
trestle over Long Creek gave way, and
preoipitated the engine and tram a
distance of forty feet. John McGehee
and Prince Woods, colored hands, were
killed, and six other negroes were
wounded. The conductor, Mr. Gadd,
was injured slightly. The tender became
detached from the engine, and the
engineer, Mr. Smith, managed to get back
to it and thus save himself. This trestle
has long been considered unsafe, and it
is frightful to reflect that it might have
broken down when some of the recent
excursion trains were passing over it.—

Chloral and Its Perils.
The London Lancet prints a warning
against the habitual use of the now fash
ionable hypnotic, chloral. Because it
does not produce the immediate evil con
sequences due to opium, and is a far more
powerful sedative than bromide of potas-
sum. it has become popular, and is even,
as the Lancet deplores, largely recom
mended by medical men. It has taken
its place in the medicine chest and on the
dressing-table, and is often employed
without advice or precaution. In some
cases, the use of it has resulted in death in
healthy persons, and in other cases its ac
tion has given play to diseases which have
proved fatal, although without its aid
they would not have done so. But these
cases are too rare to have the effect on
the public which in professional eyes
should be assigned to them. Still, where
no such immediately serious conse
quences ensue or are to be apprehended,
the habitual use of chloral cannot fail to
be attended by injury to the nervous sys
tem. As the Lancet explains, in sleep
the sensory recipient and lower motor
centers are separated from those of con
sciousness and will, with which
during the waking state they are
in such close connection. This sep
aration can only take place un
der certain conditions which vary
very much in different individuals.
Chloral introduces an artificial influence,
and separates forcibly those functions of
the nervous system which would other
wise have been linked together. It still
unpleasant emotion—removes disagree
able sensations—paralyzes the will. This
can hardly occur repeatedly without some
permanent effect. Each region of its
influence presents an example of perver
ted action. The will becomes weakened;
emotional manifestations are in the
chloral-drinker more easily produced;
the evidence of the senses is per
verted, and their action is no
longer under the same control of
associated impressions. All influences of
a depressing character are felt mors
keenly. The sufferer becomes “ner
vous,” emotional, hysterical. Neuralgia
and other sensory disturbances become
frequent, and with them various peretic
phenomena, depending chiefly on de
fective will. Ultimately still graver con
sequences may result. Delirium, imbe
cility, and paralysis of the pharynx and
oesophagus are among the symptoms
which have occurred in recorded cases,
and which have ceased when the habitual
dose was discontinued. All the time the
supposed need of the sedative increases,
the craving for it may become as intense
and intolerable as in the case of opium—
the patient moaning for the chloral,
which he can hardly swallow, and sleep
gradually becomes almost impossible,
except under artificial influences.
A Woman’s Courage.
Mr. G. P. West’s residence at 198
Madison street, Brooklyn, was on Wed
nesday evening the scene of a struggle
with a desperate burglar. At about half
past nine Sir. West and his wife returned
to their home from a neighborly call, and
after fastening the door of the front
chamber in the second story and lighting
the gas, Mr. West entered the bathroom.
Mrs. Nyest went to the bureau, and as
she stood reading from a scrap of paper
she saw a shadow flit across the looking-
glass. She turned and saw a man with
a black slouched hat drawn down
over his eyes, standing at the closet
door and searching through a pair of pan
taloons. Mrs. West sprang upon him and
clasped both her hands around his as he
was trying to draw it from the pocket.
In his hands he clenched a roll of green
backs. Taken by surprise, the burglar
stood for a moment undecided, and then
tried to shake Mrs. West off, but she held
on. She was so much excited that she
could not cry out for help. The burglar
then struck Mrs. West with his left hand,
but without force sufficient to injure her.
He then twisted his arm so as to throw
Mrs. West on her back, but she held on,
and he dragged her across the room,
through another room, and past the bath
room door to the stairway. There he at
tempted to throw her down.
Mrs. West struggled with the burglar
for- a moment and then the burglar ran
down the stairs dragging Mrs. West after
him, her back striking on every step. At
the foot of the stairs, her strength failing
under the exoitement, Mrs. West released
her hold just enough to enable the bur
glar to withdraw his hands with a roll of
greenbacks clinched in it. He then
opened the front door and fled, leaving
Mrs. West lying on the floor slightly
moaning. Mr. West, hearing the moans,
supposed that his wife had fainted in the
front chamber. He jumped out of the
bath tub and ran into the room. Not
finding her there he searched the other
rooms, and at length found her lying at
the foot of the staircase, still clasping the
pantaloons. The inmates of the house
were aroused, and Mrs. West was carried
to her room, and on her restoration to
consciousness she related her struggle
with the desperado. How the burglr.r
entered the house is a mystery.—Ne:V

THE BEECHER JURY.
They Come Into Court and Announce
a Disagreement.
JUDGE NEILSON LOCKS THEM UP
AGAIN.
PHHlinuel Bard 'l’ries lo >1 like a Fight and
Retires.
THE BEECHER JURY.
Brooklyn, July 1.—The jury came into
court. Foreman Carpenter stated they
could not agree upon a question of fact.
Judge Neilscn told them to disregard the
affidavits submitted for the reopening of
the case, and sent them back. At twenty-
five miuutes past 1 o’clock Judge Neilson
came on the bench, the consultation hav
ing broken up, and he was followed into
court by the counsel, who were received
with clapping of hands and stamping of
feet. They all took seats in their usual
places, and conversed with one another.
At 1:37 the jury came in and took then-
seats, looking pale and exhausted. Some
of them carried coats and traveling bags
in their hands, from which the audience
argued that they had come to an agree
ment and were prepared to leave the
court. Judge Neilson requested that
the utmost silence be observed in the
court during the proceedings. Tilton
and Beecher were both absent. The
clerk called the jury, who answered to
their names in loud tones. Judge Neil
son then said he was sorry they could
not agree, and asked them if the disputed
question was one of fact or law. Mr.
Carpenter, speaking with a low voice,
stated it was impossible for the jury to
agree and that he regretted it very much.
The question of disagreement was one
of fact. Judge Neilson then called
attention to the length of the trial
and said that was the first intimation he
had had from the jury in their embar
rassments. He said that various consid
erations had been pressed on their atten
tion. Their attention had been called to
the fact that after the argument and be
fore the charge some papers had been
handed up to him. He had examined
them that evening and denied the motion
for a reopening of the case, assuming for
the moment that the jury would forget
that subject. He would like to know if
anything was lingering on their minds
with regard to the matter, and asked
them if it would be suitable for them
to state to him any questions of law or
fact which disturbed them. Carpenter
replied that it was solely one of fact and
no agreement was possible, that in a
month they would be no nearer an agree
ment than they were to-day. He said he
spoke for eleven of the jurors when he
said he believed that an agreement was
impossible, and that there was only one
man who believed that they could ever
reach an uuanimous conclusion. Judge
Neilson spoke to them of the importance
of the case and asked them to give it
their further consideration, requesting
them, for that purpose, to retire again to
their rooms and deliberate upon it
further, and communicate with him about
four o’clock.
Later.—Judge Neilson has concluded
to lock the jury up for the night.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Fight Between Three Officers and Twi
Negroes.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean contains the
following account of a tragedy that oc
curred in that city on Thuraday:
A terrible fight between two negroes, a
constable, and two policemen, occurred
yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, at
the house of John Johnson, a negro, No.
110 Forest avenue, which culminated in
the death of one of the colored com
batants and the serious injury of one of
the police officers. Early in the after
noon Constable Fred Koehler went to
the house of Johnson, at the above
number, to serve a writ of restitution
from Justice Pollock, in favor of Simon
Yondorf, a clothing merchant, on
East Lake street. As soon as the
constable had read the document, John
son retired to a back room and soon re
turned with a musket having a bayonet
affixed. He told the official to vacate the
premises immediately, and, on his refus
ing to do so, Johnson made a dash for
him with his weapon. Koehler dodged,
and the only injury done was the tearing
of his pantaloons near the knee and a
slight abrasion of the skin on the shin.
Johnson was in the act of plunging the
bayonet into the constable’s abdomen
when Mr. Koehler’s assistant arrived and
prevented his assailant from carrying out
his intentions. The constable and his
assistant succeeded in wresting the
weapon from the hands of the negro,
and went to the Cottage Grove Avenue
Station, where they secured the services
of an officer to assist them in serving
the writ. They could not prevail
upon Johnson to vacate, however,
and Mr. Koehler proceeded to the
South Side Police Court, where be
* swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Johnson on the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon and intent to kill. He
returned to the Cottage Grove Avenue
Station and placed the warrant in the
hands of Officers Fred Burgher and
Dennis O’Brien. The trio then went to
Johnson’s residence to serve the docu
ment. Johnson was found at the head
of the stairway hehind a bedstead, which
he used as a barricade. He defied the
party, and repeated his threats of “death
to all intruders.” Officer Burgher as
cended the stairs and was about to re
move the bed, when Johnson discharged
a pistol in close proximity to his head.
This staggered the officer, and he
descended the stairs. Officer O’Brien
attempted to repeat the movement of his
brother, when a ball came whistling by
his ear. This caused him to retreat, and
Mr. Burgher again assumed his position.
He had no sooner reached the upperjfloor
thau he received a heavy blow from an
iron bar in the hands of Johnson's son,
Thomas. He tumbled to the lower floor,
and O’Brien, grasping his pistol, resumed
his place at the bed. He met the same
fate as Mr. Burgher, and went headlong
to the bottom of the stairway. After the
two officers had regained their equilibri
um, they proceeded to the second floor,
pistols in hand. Reaching their destina
tion they were staggered by two shots
from the pistols of their opponents. They
regained their places and fired four shots
at the two men. Johnson fell heavily on
the floor, while the son attempted to es
cape through a back window. He was
secured, however, and along with his
father was started to the police station.
Before the party arrived the father died,
having received two bullets—one in the
left breast and one in the forehead, just
between the eyes. The son was locked
up in a cell, while the father was prepared
for the Coroner’s inquest. Officer Burgh
er’s wound is of a serious character, and
will iikely lay him up for a few days.
The most peculiar portion of the affray is
that the officers would allow Johnson to
fire at them so.of ten without returning it.
Cigars One Hundred and Fifteen
Years Old.—An interesting incident of
the Centennial, says the Boston Herald,
was the opening of a box of cigars which
were manufactured in 1760 by Cyrus
Greeen (afterward of revolutionary
fame), at a well known place of. business
on Tremont street. The cigars were
found in a good state of preservation and
of fine flavor, as the favored few who had
the good fortune to enjoy their fragance
testified. Three of the cigars were for
warded to President Grant, and he will,
no doubt, appreciate the gift. The re
mainder were again repacked in an air
tight case with a copy of the Boston
Herald, containing an account of the
oeJebration, and marked, “This box is
not to be opened until the second centen
nial anniversary of the battle of Bunker
HilJ.”
The great “Emperor” bell, cast of

satisfactory, as the bell gave the note D.
On the War-Path—How Two Connecti
cut Boys Exterminated the Indians.
Not long ago there was a Hartford boy
who ran away to hunt Indians. He left
a card of warning in a little store in Hart
ford to the effect, “Wild Harry is ou the
war-path. Look out for him.” This was
a kindly intended hint to any Indians who
might come into the store to trade, that
trouble was brewing for them. We do
not understand that the two boys who
left their homes in Bethel on Tuesday
last were equally thoughtful, but it is
known that their ultimate intention was
to slay on sight. They had each saved
six dollars, and with this capital, a ham
mer, screw-dnver, and fifteen sticks of
spruce gum, they started on the war
path. As will be seen by their ar
mament, iti was to be a most san
guinary expedition. No Indian was to
be spared unless he could show a cer
tificate from the selectmen stating that
he had been a resident of the town found
in for a period of six months, and was
not m arrears for his poll tax. They
started for the Black Hills by way of
North Salem, intending to clean out the
red men on their own hook up to the lat
ter place, and then work by government
contract. Their plan of operations was
to inveigle the Indian into a ohair, in
which had been previously and surrep
titiously introduced a stick of the gum,
and keep him there by cheerful conver
sation and statistical information until
the gum took hold and he was held firmly
to the chair. With a wild and blood
curdling yell he was to be brained with
the hammer, taken apart with the screw
driver, and shipped C. O. D. to the glue
factory at Black Rock. From the In
dians this awful determination was
kept dark, but it came to the
ears of the cigar dealers who own all the
Indians between here and North Salem,
and they lost no time in hurrying their
inoffensive proteges into places of safety.
The consequence was that the scalp
hunters reached North Salem without
securing anything more substantial than
a pain in the stomach. In the meantime
all Bethel was in an uproar. The parents
were considerably exercised by the disap
pearance, and for some time it was feared
they had gone to Washington. On the
afternoon of the second day the hunters
returned across lots. They were warmly
welcomed. The fatted calf was not
brought out, as it is to be exhibited at
the next fair, but a very fat cowhide did
make its appearance, and dancing until a
late hour wound up the festivities. The
hammer and screw-driver have been re
turned to the wood shelf, and Saturday
morning the two scalp-hunters were very
briskly moving two very good buck saws.

Growing Prosperity of the Soutrern
States.—Whatever differences of opinion
may prevail respecting the future pros
pects of the rest of the country, there
can be no doubt that the Southern States
are now in a more prosperous condition
than they have been at any period since
the commencement of the war. The
final withdrawal of the Federal authority,
or rather of the carpet-bag governments,
and the restoration of the old principle
of State control have* been attended by
the happiest results. In Arkansas and
Louisiana, which were longest deprived
of the privilege of self government,
bankruptcy and civil war seemed to be
imminent only a few months ago. But
now, party animosity appears to have
died out, and from both States we have
the most encouraging reports. Every
thing is serene and prosperous—so pros
perous, indeed, that a cotton crop of five
million bales is now regarded as proba
ble. —United States Economist.
An Illinois Butchery.—A desperate
hand-to-hand encounter with knives took
place in Green county, Illinois, on Sun
day afternoon last. Charles M&ntein and
John Varble were driving in a wagon
from the town of Kane to Jalapa. They
had a jug of ••yhisky, and, having intoxi
cated themselves on it, began to quarrel.
They agreed to get cut in the road and
settle the matter with their butcher
knives. Varble was slightly cut, but
used up his antagonist - in a terrible
manner. Mantein was stabbed and gash
ed in fifteen different places, the length
of the cuts aggregating over sixty inches,
and putting an end to him instantly.
Varble was arrested for the murder, but
was allowed by the Justice to go on bail.
A Spiritual Communication to a Judicial
Fisherman.
Judge Steve Voorhies, a well-known
Brooklyn worthy, has a fine little yacht,
in wh:ich he frequently goes a-fishing in
Sheepshead ^ay. The other day he in
vited Joe Winters and Frank Stryker to
go along. After they had started for the
boat, the Judge discovered that he had
left a demijohn behind him, and ran back
for it. As his two friends strolled along,
they met a boy with a big, savage, red
eyed tom-cat in a basket. The boy
offered to sell it for twenty-five cents,
and the bargain was speedily struck.
The boy carried the cat down to the
boat, and Joe Winters dexterously trans
ferred him to the locker in the stern.
Presently Steve came along with the
demijohn and handed it to Joe, who
slipped it inside the locker. They they
put off, and soon got their lines out.
The Judge was seated in the stern, and,
in the course of an hour or so, Joe said:
. “Steve, suppose we take a pull at the
demijohn ?”
“All right,” said the Judge, and he fixed
his line and went on his haunches to get
at the locker.
“Guess what it is boys,” the Judge
said, turning round ana smiling like a
cherub.
“Whisky!” exclaimed both his com
panions.
“By jove, you’re right,” said the Judge,
and he opened the locker and put in his
hand to lay hold on the wicker.
“Curr, fit!”issued from the hole, and
the Judge gave a shriek, hastily drew out
his hand, and jammed the door.
“A snake, by Jove,” he exclaimed, put
ting both his hands to the door and hold
ing it fast.
“Nonsense,” said Frank Stryker; “how
could a snake get in there ?”
“It’s one of Steve’s jokes,” said Joe
Winters; “come, Judge, bring out the
whisky. ”
“Well, I am willin’ to do that, but
there’s something alive inside that's got
hold of the demijohn.”
“It won’t do,” said Winters; “you
can’t play that on us.”
“Well,” the Judge said, “I ain’t jok
ing. Now just you see.”
The Judge carefully opend the locker
and tried to take out the demijohn.
There was a spitting and a clatter, and
the torment sprang through the open
door, struck Steve in the chest and sent
him sprawling to the bottom of the boat.
“Lord have mercy on me!” the Judge
exclaimed, covering his face with his
hands.
His companions roused him up, and
suppressing their mirth, asked what was
the matter.
“Didn’t you see?” the Judge said. “It
sprang right out, soon’s I opened the.
locker, and ketched me clean in the
chest.”
Both his friends solemnly averred they
had seen nothing, and Joe got the demi
john and put it to the Judge’s lips.
He took a sip and was refreshed. Then
he sat on the side of the boat, and said
solemnly:
“Boys, it’s a warning. Something is
going to happen. Let’s go back.”
They tried to reassure him, but at
length yielded and turned toward shore.
When they reached the landing place,
the Judge got out first, and stood, hag
gard and discontented, awaiting his com
panions. Presently there was a howl at
the bow of the boat, where Joe Winters
was poking a fishing pole, and the tom
cat came flying out with distended tail.
He gave one bound across the boat to the
land, passed the Judge like an angry flash,
and vanished in the distance.
“Say, boys,” the Judge said, “don’tsay
anything about it—d’ ye hear ? I haven’t
been well for some time, and almost any
body would be a little nervous such
weather as this. ”
Sumner and the Fifteenth Amendment.
In the July number of Scribner's
Monthly an article written by Mr. A. B.
Johnson, who was Charles Sumner’s Sec
retary, gives an anecdote concerning the
Senator’s course upon the fifteenth
amendment, which, it will be remem
bered, caused much criticism as well as
inquiry, and even now is misunderstood.
The amendment provided that the right
of citizens of the United States to vote
shall noc be denied or abridged on ac
count of race, color or previous condition
of servitude, Sumner’s opposition to it
seemed at variance with his life-work.
His ground, however, was that the Con
stitution unamended provided all that
was proposed in the amendment, and
that to amend was to admit that the
feature required did not already exist.
It had been his belief that it did exist,
and it was this belief which separated
him from those who announced that the
Constitution was a covenant with death
and a league with hell.
The anecdote told by Mr. Johnson is
as follows:
On Sunday there came to him a friend
who had the success of the movement
much at heart, and wished to gain for it
the Senator’s support. When he urged
its necessity Mr. Sumner replied by read
ing from the Constitution as it was. Then
his friend waived the question as to
whether the amendment should have
been presented m the first place, but
begged the Senator, now that it had been
introduced, and had been, as a measure,
adopted by the party which had saved
the country, to drop his opposition to it,
if he could not support it. If it was not,
as many believed, now in the Constitu
tion, they both thought it should be;
and if it was there, as Mr. Sumner be
lieved, it would do no hurt to the country
or Constitution to intensify the idea by
repetition.
As his friend concluded this appeal, the
Senator straightened up and looked him
full in the face. Then, after a pause, he
leaned forward, rested his elbows on his
knees, aDd though he still held the Con
stitution in his hands, fixed his eyes on
the floor, and reading without book, in
that curious, sonorous, intoning voice
so habitual to him, recited these words :
‘And when they came to Nachon’s
threshing floor, Uz/ah put forth his hand
to the Ark of God and took hold of it,
for the oxen shook it.
“And the anger of the Lord was
kindled against Uzzah, and God smote
him there for his error; and there he
died by the Ark of God.”
After a short pause he again recited:
“For I testif}’ unto every man * * *
the words * * * of this book. If
any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book.
“ And if any man shall take away from
the words of the book * * * God
shall take away his part out of the book
of life.”
The effect was singular. The visitor
blanched, and his manner was that of
one who had seen a ghost: he rose with
out a word, and, with a solemn face,
backe l slowly and noiselessly to the door,
bowed, and without a word departed.
Mr. Sumner remained for a space with
lowered head, as if in deep thought, and
then, with a heavy sigh, resumed the
book he had bean reaaing.
A very singular affair has recently
transpired in Delaware. Daniel Mc-
Conaughy had been confined in an insane
asylum six years, and last week a jury
found that he had not been insane. He
had been so confined at the instigation of
his two brother, ^illiani and
who pwed him a considerable sum of
money. Yesterday the two bad brothers
became violently insane, and were re
moved in irons to a lunatic asylum. It
is also rumored that David McConaugby
yesterday developed symptoms of in
sanity.
Too Candid.—The Des Moines Register
tells the following story in connection
with a notice of Olive Logan’s perform
ance in that city: “A prominent citizen
of Des Moines had been introduced to
Olive while she was arrayed for the stage.
After the performance was ended he
again met the actress, but failed to recog
nize her in a plain alpaca suit. She.
however, knew him, and basniully asked
him, ‘Well, hQw do you like Olive?’ ‘I
thought she was a first-class fraud,’ re
plied the gentleman.”
TARB0R0.
A Terrible Accident—Drowning of Miaee*-
Pippen and Staton.
[Correspondence Wilmington Journal.]
Our whole community has been thrown
into the deepest gloom by the occurrence
of one of the most heartrending acci
dents, of which you have doubtless beeu
apprised by telegraph. When deatL
enters a family and robs it of its choicest
flower in the usual manner it is the occa
sion of much sorrow. But when the
grim monster so suddenly and so violently
snatches two of its loveliest daughters
from a commuuity the gloom is universal.
The drowning of Miss Hester Pippen
and Miss Dora Staton, two bright and
beautiful girls just blooming into woman
hood, the pride of fond parents, and great
favorites with our entire people, the
former, just returned from St. Mary’s
Seminar}’, Raleigh, has produced a shock
here unparalleled in the history of our
town.
The circumstances of this sad accident
are as follows: Miss Pippen, in company
with several young girls, went out to Mr.
John Staton’s, ‘about three miles from
town, on Friday afternoon, to spend the
night and the following day with Miss
Dora Staton, her devoted friend. This
afternoon they went to an ice pond
about a mile from the house to fish and
bathe. Miss Pippen and Miss Staton
were holding each other by the hand,
wading and sporting in the water, which
was not more than knee deep, until they
came to a large deep ditch, of which they
were ignorant. After they had made the
fatal step, Miss Staton, who could swim
well, got out, but with a devotion and
heroism as rare as it is beautiful, could
not see her friend struggling for life.
She plunged again into the deep water
in the vain hope of rescuing her friend.
But, alas! together those two sank to
rise no more.
The other girls ran to the house to ob
tain aid, but it came all too late. The
bodies were found, and those present did
all in their power to resuscitate them, but
without success.
The news spread rapidly to town, ex
aggerated, as is usually the case. It was
said that three of the party were drowned.
This threw the whole community into
the wildest state of alarm. As soon as
possible several of our physicians, and
everybody else who could obtain a horse,
went out. The doctors used every means
to resuscitate them, and, as Miss Pippen
looked perfectly natural, long and con
tinued efforts were made, but all to no
purpose. Her remains were brought to
the residence of her father about six
o’clock this afternoon, and were dressed
by sorrowing friends in such a manner—
so natural and beautiful—as to disrobe
death of its horrors.
These two friends, so devoted in life,
will not be separated in death. They will
be buried in one grave in the beautiful
Cemetery of Calvary Episcopal Church.
Currency and Hard Pan.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean presents the
case very forcibly. It sa3 r s that laborers
are unemployed, the price of labor has
fallen to zero, the export and import
trade of the country is steadily de
clining, the revenues of the govern
ment are falling off; only gold goes up
—only the gold export increases. Real
estate declines, rents tumble, everything
but gold goes down. The country stag
gers under a great load of depression,
and the common explanation of universal
“hard times”, is that “we are getting
down to hard pan,” What is the fact?
Plainly, that we have got down to very
hard pan indeed. The pan is so hard
that nobody cares to try to penetrate it.
The laborer is out of work, the merch
ants, one by one, are going out of trade,
the manufactory is closed, the shop of
the artisan is without orders and the
artisan is bothered to know how he is
to avert starvation from himself and
family. And yet we accept all this
misery as the father of a family accepts
measles—as a providential dispensation,
or n natural affliction from which there
is no appeal. We accept it as if the
natural resources of the country were
exhausted, as if there were no more virgin
acres to be cultivated, no more quar
ries to be worked, no more mines to be
explored, no more railways to be con
structed, no more canals to be digged,
no more cities to be built. In a
word, we say practically, “We
must resume specie payments with
out stopping work. Let us therefore
stop four or five years and starve.”
Meantime we are reducing production
to the minimum; that is to say, becom
ing poorer every day. The result is,
that having nothing else to sell, we are
selling gold in Europe—parting with the
very thing we want with which to re
sume specie payments. It is as if the
farmer should say in the spring, “ % have
a note to meet in the fall which will re
quire the avails of all the produce my
farm is capable of yielding, but if I em
ploy a full complement of laborers to
till all my land, I shall not be able to
pay them and have enough left with
whioh to discharge my note; accord
ingly, I will plant only what I myself can
cultivate and harvest. What is the re
sult ? One or two score of laborers are
thrown out of employment, and tha
farmer’s note i3 dishonored. This is the
logic of the present attempt to force spe
cie payment. The effort is a prohibition
of production, and when production
ceases the producer becomes ^ pensioner
on the general fund of accumulated
wealth. Every day this process is con
tinued will postpone the event sought.
Political economists estimate the value
of a man to the country at $800. If
2,000,000 men, representing $1,600,000,.
000 of wealth remain idle a year, the
loss to the production of the country,
computed at six per cent., amounts to
$96,000,000. Idleness, it will be seen,
is an expensive luxury; it never leads to
specie payments or any other pa mentis-
it is the road to bankruptcy. And thhi i*
as true of a nation as of rr individual.
When a capitalist reuses to derive an
interest u* income from his wealth, he
commences to live out of the principal
sum; it is a mere question of tUftO aa to
his ultimate bankrupted he is on the
road. Labor ia the real wealth or
capital oi a country; it must be kept
employed or it yields no income; and a
peculiarity of wealth in the laborer is,
that he consumes nearly as much when
idle as whe« employed; he consumes
when idle what he has previously
earned when employed; and he con
sumes it whether accumulated by him
self or by some other. What we mean is
that the idleness of the mass of the
laborers exhausts the accumulated re
sources of a oountry wherever they may
be stored, without regard to ownership.
To propose a return to specie payments
by the process of enforced idleness is,
therefore, a supreme folly. No country
not possessing great accumulated wealth
can maintain an honest specie basis cur
rency. This country has never been
able to maintain such a currency.
Money-lenders seek to establish specie
pajment; and they seek that end by a
road traveled by the British Government
in 1820-25,* over the crushed industries of
that country, and in stolid indifference to
the agonized cries and tears of suffering
people. The experiment was successful
in England, but only at the point of the
bayonet and at the sacrifice of nine-
ten tha of the landed proprietors, the
bankruptcy of nearly the entire commer
cial community, and the destruction of
every industrial enterprise,
DEAD-AiOYii. — Says the Knoxville
(Tenn.) Chronicle: “ From a gentleman
horn Granger county we learn that a sis
ter of ex-Gov. Senter to all appearance
died a few days since, and preparations
for her funeral were made, she being
dressed ready for the coffin. She lay in
this condition nearly twenty-four hours,
and, just before the hour of burial had
arrived, the lady opened her eyes, telling
those around her that she had been with
her father (who was dead), and was going
back to him soon, but that she came back
to talk to her brother, D. C. Senter. Opr
informant says that the last he heard of
her she was still alive, and that she still
insists that she will not remain in thin
world much longer.”
