The Atlanta correspondent of the Au-

Major H. Columbine Stevenson, of the

i truly wonderful. It takes the starch
at of ail other cereals, being itself
ertunial. Little children gnash their
puis and refuse to be comforted unless
it is fed to them, and all animated nature
pens its mouth to consume it. Illus

Thus the Athens Georgian : As it has
been stated and proven that the State has

and other suitable legislative nurturing,
the question arises, is this not due in a
great degree to the want of proper or
sufficient effort on the part of the Board
of Trustees in bringing the interest of
the College properly and forcibly before
the General Assembly ? and are they not
more to blame for this state of affairs
than the Legislature of Georgia?
Atlanta Herald: The Railroad Con
vention, in session at the Kimball House
lor the past few days, was thrown into a
little disorder by the refusal of the East
Tennessee and Virginia Air-Line and the
South Carolina Railroads to enter the
pooling combination of freights, proposed
by the various other lines. They did not
object to the reduction in rates, but held
that it was their privilege to act inde
pendently. Finding that these roads
were positive in their refusal to enter the
. combination, the other roads threatened
f to make every discrimination possible
against these lines if they did not enter
the pool. The convention, after discuss
ing the matter for some time, decided to
give the East Tennessee ,and Virginia
Air-Line and the South Carolina Roads
ten days time to consider the matter.
At the end of that time, if these roads
still refuse to enter the pool, they propose
taking harsh action.
Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal:
r. J. G. Thomas, of Savannah, Ga
was brought forward by his friends last
fall as a candidate for the State Legisla
ture, and was elected by a handsome ma
jority. At the winter session he took his
seat in the House, and soon showed him
self to be an able representative of his con
stituency as well as of the medical pro
fession. By hisj influence and exertions
law was passed, which we give to our
readers, establishing a State Board of
Health. At the April meeting of the
Medical Association of Georgia Dr.
Thomas was made its President for the
ensuing year. Upon the organization of
the Health Board in June he was elected
to the Presidency of that body, and now
the newspapers bring forward his name
as a candidate for the next Governorship
of Georgia. Truly do the honors thicken
around him.
Phillips and the Phllllpians.
In his recent letter to an Indianapolis
gentleman, Wendell Phillips talks thus :
“I have publicly advocated a third ienn
for Grant, unless some one can be found
as sure as he is to rally the whole North,
and as true as he has been to claim from
the South all the fruits of our victory.
He has not by any means done his duty,
when he claimed or consented to the
rejection of the school clause of the civil
rights bill. He made that indispensable
measure almost useless, and balked the
hopes of the nation. Still, I know no
one more to be trusted than he, who
has any chance to be elected; but your
party repudiates him because he is
joined to bullionists and stock mon
gers. I lament this as much as
you can; still, a nation can attend to but
one issue at a time. All history proves
this. To-day belongs to the great struggle
for equality before the law. The South
hates this and means to defeat it. The
North has hidden this grand rule in its
heart of hearts. This provoked and justi
fied the war. The battle over, it is not
ended. For this struggle the nation is
ripe, ripened by forty years of discussion
and five of war. Much as I value your
great financial measure, I must, in this
next Presidential canvass, measure my
candidate by another standard—loyalty
to impartial liberty.”
While the Massachusetts agitator has
lost a portion of his followers since the
conclusion of the war which he did so
much to bring on, yet we are inclined to
think his peculiar views are accepted and
indorsed by a much larger class than is
generally supposed. Men rarely speak
where there is nobody to listen, and the
disciples of Phillips, though reduced in
numbers, cannot be entirely ignored in
political calculations. Therefore it is
worth while to notice briefly what it is
the original abolition element still wants.
In the extract quoted it is said that
“equality before the law”—meaning
equality of the two races—“provoked and
justified the war.” It did nothing of the
sort. The secession of the Southern
States was the cause of the war, and
though the negro question was at the
bottom of that mistaken movement, it
had no influence whatever upon the
action of the Northern people as a mass.
They went into the war not to
abolish slavery and make the black
man a citizen, but to restore the
Union and maintain the supremacy of
the Constitution and the laws. Had
it been officially announced by the Lin
coln administration, in 18151, that email
cipation and enfranchisement were the
objects aimed at by the Federal Govern
ment, not fifty thousand men would ever
have gone into the field. Not until the
struggle had progressed long enough and
far enough to allow passion to usurp the
place of reason and justice, did the
President and his advisers venture to
disregard the pledges used to rally
the people to their support in
the earliest stages of the con
flict. Emancipation and enfranchisement
were indeed the results of the war, as
might have been anticipated from the be
ginning ; but they were not the motive
power which drew together the armies
destined to demolish the rebellion. It
was the national flag and the national
honor which did that. Not all the Afri
cans on the planet were worth the blood
and the treasure poured out in those four
terrible years, but the price was not too
great to pay for an undivided nationality.
As for “ equality before the law ” being
the main issue now, nobody thinks so ex
cept Phillips and the Phillipians. The
people, irrespective of party, are thor
oughly tired of the equality business in
all its phases. They have done for the
negro all they intend doing, and unless
the negro keeps himself within the
bounds of good behavior, they may con
clude to undo some things which have
already been done. As a political hobby
the woolly horse is totally defunct, and
no Presidential candidate will dare ride
him in the approaching campaign.
To Phillips and the Phillipians we
would therefore say: If you are true
friends of the negro, and sincerely anx
ious for his present and future welfare,
stop preaching about bis rights and
wrongs and endeavor to have him im
prove the privileges he already enjoys.
Of these privileges, and the duties there
unto pertaining, he has thus far shown
no proper realizing sense whatever. He
has been, up to the present date, an un
mitigated political nuisance to the country
at large, and a tremendous elephant to the
Republican party.' If you can transform
this nuisance into a blessing, and this
elephant into a useful member of the
body politic, do so without delay. But
waste no more wind in proclaiming
“equality before the law,” or indiscrim
inate bawling over the black brother.
We have had enough of that cheap and
blatant philanthropy to last us for a cen
tury at least. White men now propose
to come to the front for awhile, and it
will, not be healthy to step in their way.
—St. Louis Republican.
The New Gospel op “Cheek.”—Mr.
Beecher declared to his Friday evening
prayer meeting that he should continue
to occupy his pulpit, no matter what may
be the determination of the jury. Such
a man as this is invincible. The new
gospel of “cheek,” of which he is the
founder, will sustain such a man in al
most any calamity of life. He is a man
of too much power to be crushed by any
thing. Mr. Beecher might murder a man
in the public streets of Brooklyn to-day,
in the most cold-blooded and heartless
manner, and it would be impossible to
find a jury that would convict him, and
his church would still stand by him. His
counsel have declared his immunity from
sin, and the world now sees his immunity
from justice. It is perfectly marvelous,
and an unheard of incident heretofore in
a court of justice, that the oath of a cul
prit, when arraigned, and subject to every
inducement to swear falsely, is taken to
be true, when in so doing it is an abso
lute necessity to hold that his solemn
confessions, uttered and written at a time
when there was every inducement to tell
the truth, were deliberate lies. Mr.
Beecher no longer cringes and whines, he
is no longer on “ the ragged edge of fear,
despair£pnd remorse,” no longer wishes
himself dead, no longer suffers “ the tor
ments of the damned;” he has gotten
back to his “Sharp’s rifles,*’ and is bold
as a lion. Was there ever such a meta
morphosis from abject cowardice to
flaunting defiance! Beat the Plymouth
Church drum, and sound the ear piersing
fife ! It was not the sense and weight of
sin that made Henry Ward Beecher a
coward, but only the fear of exposure.
Othello’s occupation is not gone. He may
now go on with his lip service to God
and women. But let him beware how he
exults too soon. He is in the toils of time,
that will sift this matter to the bottom ;
and the dry-rot is on him. He can never
be the Beecher of old except behind the
boudoir door.—Troy Press.

THE COLOMBIAN EABTH QUAKE.
New Yobk, July 4.—Later mail ad
vices from different places in Colombia
more than confirm the horrors by the
earthquake in May. A letter from Salaza,
dated May 28th, says: “Cucuta is a piti
ful sight. Everything is in ruins. Not
a house remains standing. Thieves and
robbers from the surrounding country
have swept down on the ill-fated city,
and Hardly a single safe has been saved
from the Custom House. Four hundred
mules were killed in the streets, and as
there is no one to remove them the
stench is becoming frightful. The vil
lages of San Custobal, Farina, Guassi-
mo, Capacho, San Antonio, Lobatera,
San Juan de Urena, Reosario and San
Cayetana are completely destroyed. The
store houses at Puerto de los Cachos was
sacked and burned by bandits.”
A letter from Ocana, dated May 30th,
says: “Ten thousand people were killed
at Cucuta, in addition to other thousands
who were seriously wounded and bruised.
Death and desolation reigned every
where. A great number of haciendas
have been destroyed, and hundreds of
houses in the country have been over
thrown, leaving the people homeless,
and, consequently, in poverty. Many of
the trees were torn up by the roots and
small hills were opened like a melon.
The cause of the great catastrophe is, of
course, unknown, as well as the precise
place of its first manifestation. Some
suppose that the volcano of Sobotera,
which was in action in 1848, is agiin
breaking out, while others say that a new
volcano has appeared in the hills of
Giracha.”
A private letter from Bucarmanga of
May 24th says that in Piedecuesta the
town hall is destroyed, and in Pamplona
the Cathedral is in ruins. A telegram
from Hon. Aquile Barra to President
Perez, dated Bucararaanga, May 24th,
says: “The earthquakes continued last
night, and the Cathedral in Pamplona
fell. There is great alarm and great
devastation throughout the Valley of
Cucuta.”
A dispatch from President Perez, from
Chinacota May 24th, says: “The popula
tion of San Jose, Rosanie and San Caye-
tano have disappeared. The rest of the
department is in ruins. There are more
than four thousand victims.” A dispatch
from Socorro, dated May 24, says : 4 ‘The
situation is assuming a grave aspect, and
sickness and starvation in Pamplona are
increasing. 1
A telegram from Chiquinquira, of May
22d, says : “The shocks are repeating.
There were two last night and one to-day.
There is great alarm among the people.
Appeals for help were being circulated
through all the cities of Colombia, and
the most liberal responses were being
made. ”
THE WASHINGTON WEATHER PROPHET.

one from Columbia. The visitors were
met at the depot by the volunteer com
panies of Augusta. Capt. M. P. Carroll
delivered the welcoming address, and was
replied to by Capt. Mimms, of Charles

The Rev. William Annel Roberts, a
Welsh clergyman, has been getting him
self into trouble, not of the Beecher sort,
however. He has only been drunk.
There was no woman in the case, although
several car-drivers testified that they had
taken him home when he was as drunk
as a fool. The upshot of the whole affair
was that he lost his vicarage. When it is
considered, however, that the poor man
was vicar of Llanfairnathafameithaf and
Llanddyffran, most people will excuse
him for his occasional lapses from sobriety
To be a vicar of such unpronounceable
places and to be required to pronounce
them are sufficient to make any man
thirsty.
Thus, between the faithlessness of the
government in the obligation it had be
fore undertaken to the Indians, its re
fusal to listen to their just complaints,
and its menacing attitude toward them
in regard to giving up their lands, on the
one side, and the rush of gold-hunters on
the other, the Indians are driven to bay,
and seem to have no way but to fight.
Justice, honest administration of Indian
affairs, and fair dealing with the Indi
ans as to their lands, would have pre
vented, all this, and might still prevent
war. If the war comes it will be because
it is easier to get into war than to make
an honest administration of Indian af
fairs—Cincinnati Gazette {Rep.)

THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY.
Washington, July 3.—The Executive
Committee of the National Grange con
tinued their session to-day in this city.
Dr. Worrall, representing the co-opera
tive societies of Highland, was intro
duced to the committee, and submitted
for consideration a proposition for fra
ternal co-operation between the Patrons
of Husbandry and the Co-operators of
England. Dr. Worrall has four associates
en route, who are daily expected, to aid
him in effecting his object. A sub-com
mittee, consisting of Mr. D. T. Chase, of
New Hampshire, and J. T. Jones, of
Arkansas, was appointed to take the
whole subject under consideration, and
report at the next meeting of the com
mittee on Monday next. The com
mittee also had under considera
tion the removal of the head
quarters of the National Grange,
but reached no conclusion. Four cities—
Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis and
Cincinnati—offer special inducements.
Cincinnati is especially anxious to secure
the headquarters, and proposes to send a
delegation of prominent citizens to
Washington to confer with the Executive
Committee; but the latter told them that
they must submit their proposition in
writing and that no delegation would be
received. A proposition looking to the
improvement of the business interest of
the order was referred to a sub commit
tee. The sum of five hundred dollars
was donated to-day to the patrons in
Colorado suffering from the ravages of
the grasshoppers.
the rifle teams.
New York, July 3.—A dispatch from
Dublin says the match for the Freeman's
Journal cup to-day insulted m a tie be
tween Major Fulton, of the American
team, and Mr. Doyle, of the Irish team.
The tie will be decided by shooting off at
ordinary.
Dublin, July 3.—The shooting for the
all Ireland challenge shield took place at
Dallymount to-day. The competitors
were four members each of the Dublin,
Belfast and New York clubs. The ranges
were 1,000 and 1,100 yards, in each of
which every participant had twenty
shots. The shield was won by the Dub
lin marksmen, the score standing—Dub
lin, 560; Amateur, of New York, 558;
Belfast, 528.
In the closing matches to-day, Wilson,
of the Belfast club, won the Wilkes cup.
Coleman and Gildersleeve, of the Ameri
can team, made four bull’s-eyes each at
five hundred yards in the contest for the
hundred guinea cup, presented by the
London Dramatic News. Coleman won
the final shot, but the cup goes to Gilder
sleeve under the rules, as Coleman won
the Spencer cup. A strong and irregular
wind blew during the shooting, but no
rain fell. There was an immense crowd
present at the exhibition place to-night
for the distribution of prizes.
THE CAR LISTS.
London, July 3.—A Times' special dis
patch, from Madrid to Gen. Jovellar, re
ports the defeat of the united band of
Dorregaray, Cucula and Vielalain, be
tween Vistavelle and Viela Franco. The
Carlists suffered heavy losses, and fled in
disorder toward Yglesula. The Chief
(Vielalain) was killed. Gen. Campos re
ports a success in Catalonia. Gen. Lema
has defeated the Carlists who attacked
Galadello and Bexberana. The Madrid
Government is showing great vigor to
wards the Carlist sympathizers, several
of whom have been banished.
Later dispatches from Madrid confirm
the report of Gen. Jovellar’s victory over
the united Carlist bands of Dorregary,
Cucula and Vielalain. General Martinez
Campos, with the army of Catalonia, ef
fected a junction with Jovellar yesterday,
and the combined forces are now making
preparations to attack Contavieia.
THE INDIANS.
St. Louis, July 3.—Col. Boudmot, who
has just arrived here from the Indian
Territory, reports that a very bitter con
test is now going on in the Cherokee
nation between the Ross and Downing
parties for the position ot Chief. Ru
mors of conspiracies and assassinations
are rife. Col. W. P. Ross, the present
Chief, is a candidate for re-election, and
a man named Thompson is the candidate
of the Downing party.
An extract from the Bozman (Montana)
Times says the Nezperces and Banneck
Indians have combined against the Sioux
and the latter were being overpowered.
The steamer Bozman, of the Pease
expedition, wa3 sunk near Hunter’s
Springs about two weeks ago, and all
the arms and supplies and Pease’s papers
were lost, but no human lives were sac
rificed.
THE NEW DIRECT CABLE.
Philadelphia, July 3.—The New York
officers of the Direct Cable Company say
that for about ten days after connection
was established the company sent dis
patches about their own business through
the cable, as well as private dispatches
for their friends. It was found, however,
that a fault existed, which, although not
a serious one, was of moment enough to
induce the company to require the
makers of the cable to repair it before it
was accepted. The fault was located,
and a vessel was sent out to repair it.
On Thursday a dispatch was received
through the cable from the vessel saying
that it was expected that the work would
be completed by yesterday, but as yet no
further intelligence from the vessel has
been received.
THE COTTON MARKET.
New York, July 3.—During the week
at the Cotton Exchange there has been
small business, with an unsettled tone.
The marked demand for spot cotton was
chiefly for spinners, and merely for small
lots to meet immediate wants. Exporters
have been doing nothmg, as foreign ad
vices have not been favorable and ac
counts of prospective crops indicate a
large yield. Speculative dealings were
rather tame, as the stock is now so much
reduced as to be easily handled, and some
slight indications of a comer in August
contracts led operators to believe that a
movement was on foot, and prices imme
diately advanced. Other months were
but slightly affected.
TEARFUL TOMMY LEADS IN PRAYER.
New York, July 3.—Plymouth lecture
room waa crowded to excess, and Beech
er’s entrance provoked a loud ovation.
Shearman led in prayer. He hoped
Plymouth would join him in pledging
their fidelity to Beecher and God, hoping
that they would never leave him. No
voice uttered from the press or the pulpit
could make them leave him, and ten
thousand juries could not make them
doubt his word. Beecher then gave out
a hymn, pronounced the benediction,
and the audience dispersed. Mr. Beech
er’s address was confined wholly to church
matters, including a running history of
Plymouth.
THE MEXICAN MUDDLE.
New York, July 3.—A dispatch from
New Orleans says that a private dispatch
from Brownsville reports that General
Christo is able and intends to protect the
American citizens. The military forces
at Brownsville have received orders to
cross and support Christo in preserving
the peace in case such a measure becomes
necessary.
VALUABLE MAIL BAG LOST.
New York, July 3.—The Marine Bank
recently lost a mail tag containing $34,-
000 worth of drafts. The missing mail
contained remittances from several East
ern cities and Baltimore.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, July 3.—Hon. Thomas
B. Florence, ex-member of Congress and
formerly editor of the Washington Union,
is not expected to live through the night.
Paymaster John McMahon is ordered
to temporary duty at the Pensacola Navy
Yard.
The papers suspending Bard as Post

conducting business in the cash room of
the Treasury Department.
THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY.
Paris, July 3. —An important meeting of
three groups of the Left was held last night
Three hundred and thirty Deputies were
present. A resolution was unanimously
passed agreeing to abstain from unneces
sary discussion, so that all necessary bills
may be passed by the middle of August.
Provision was made for a committee to
negotiate with the Ministry, the Duke
d’Audiffret-pasquier, and the leaders of
other parlimentary groups, with the ob
ject of fixing a day for the dissolution of
the Assembly.
A LIVELY EMBEZZLER.
San Francisco, July 3.—The Bulletin

startling developments in the case of Mil
ler, the defaulting secretary of the West
ern Development Company, the substance
of which is that his name is not Miller,
but Woodruff, that the defalcation is
greater than at first supposed, and that
it will probably reach from a half to one
million. Large sales of real estate by
Miller to Woodruff were discovered as
being transfers to himself.

Probable Increase in Railroad
Fares.—It is understood that negotia
tions for an increase in the rates of fare
are now in progress among the trunk
line of railroads running out of New
York. As it is the desire of all the parties
interested to place the settlement of the
vexed question on a firm basis, there has
been much discussion and the matter has
advanced bet slowly. One of the prin
cipal points involved is the settlement of
the equities of the roads, as regards the
running time, as explained in a previous
number of the Times. Everything is
said to be proceeding harmoniously, and
it is expected that the lines will soon
agree upon a tariff of passenger rates
that will virtually restore that fixed by
the Saratoga compact, with the modifica
tion of the time allowance. With the
increase of the rates of fare on the New
York lines, there will of course be a cor
responding rise in the fares from Phila
delphia. The ticket speculators will
then be enabled to reap the harvest they
have so long waited for, but it is thought
that they will not undersell the railroad
companies, notwithstanding the fact that
they invested heavily, and laid in large
stocks of tickets to all important Western
points.—N. T. Times, July 1.

by the San Francisco Mint have gone into

A RELIGIOUS MURDERER.
The Son of a Farmer Killing Ills Sister’s
Husband.
[From the New York Herald.]
A family quarrel of nearly six years
standing in Steuben county, came to a
termination on Sunday, June 20, by the
killing of one of the parties to it by
another, under peculiarly distressing cir
cumstances. Four' miles from the vil
lage of Troupsburg Centre, in Steuben
county, a farmer, well-to-do and highly
respected, has lived for many years. He
has two children, a son and a daughter,
George E. Hendricks, aged twenty-one,
and Helen, aged twenty-six. Six years
ago Helen, in opposition to the wishes of
her family, married a man named Wil
liam H. Dildine. He was a young man
of no little talent and education, but of a
somewhat questionable character. Helen
Hendricks, being an only daughter, had
been given superior educational ad
vantages, and at the time of her marriage
had been but a short time from college,
where she graduated with high honors.
Dildine was a man of splendid physique,
and well calculated to win the affection of
any lady. The marriage of his daughter
Was a terrible blow to the old farmer, but
he conquered his resentment to her hus-
baud and endeavored to make the best of
the situation.
Shortly after their marriag9 the Dil-
dmes removed to Wellsville, Allegany
county, where they lived together until
last week. Two children, a boy and girl,
were born to them. Not long after taking
up their abode at Wellsville, rumors that
Dildine was neglecting and abusing his
wife reached the Hendricks’ homestead.
These reports finally became so frequent
that old Mr. Hendricks went to Weils-
ville and remonstrated with his son-in-
law about his conduct. This led to a
bitter quarrel between them, and to Hen
dricks taking his daughter and her two
children, the one an infant in arms, back
home with him. This was in 1873. Mrs.
Dildine remained home a few days, when
her husband went to her father’s and
forced her to return to Wellsville with
him.
a family quarrel.
They continued to live a miserable life
together until Saturday last. In the
morning of that day a quarrel arose be
tween Dildine and his wife at the break
fast table. He threw a plate at her,
striking her on the head and inflicting a
bad wound. Not satisfied with that he
knocked her down, and, seizing her by
the hair, pounded her face against the
floor until she was almost unconscious.
He then left the house. After she had
recovered sufficiently she arose from the
floor, and writing the following note,
also went away, taking her children with
her:
“Will—I will make one more effort to
make your home happy. I think this one
will be successful. May you be as happy
as you deserve to be. Helen. ”
Mrs. Dildine went to her father’s,
reaching there with her children on
Saturday evening.
At intervals for the past two years Mr.
Hendricks has suffered considerable loss
by fires, wl ich have been very plainly of
incendiary origin. The first one of these
fires destroyed a barn and its contents a
few days after Dildine had taken his wife
away from her father in 1873. The last
occurred a few weeks ago, and since then
George E. Hendricks, the son, procured
a navy revolver, and has kept a watch on
the premises. Revelations made by Mrs,
Dildine on Saturday night, after reaching
home, confirmed the suspicions of Mr.
Hendricks as to the origin of the fire.
Mrs. Dildine said that on the way to
Wellsville with her husband in 1873 he
was very bitter in his threats against the
life and property of her father brother
and said that he had been arranging with
a man to bum her father’s barn, and ad
ded, with an oath, that “if he didn’t do
it he knew damn well who would, and he
only wished the whole Hendricks family
could be in the building and burn to a
crisp.” She never informed her relatives
of this for fear her husband would kill
her.
THE MURDER.
Last Sunday afternoon, between 5 and
6 o’clock,»Dildine drove up to Hendricks’
house with a horse and buggy. He en
tered the house, where his wife, her
father, mother, and brother were assem
bled.
Failing in his purposo to get his child
away, he commenced talking about the
children, and said that he was going to
take his boy with him “ in spite of hell.”
The child was playing in the yard when
its father drove up, but upon seeing him
ran into the house and sprang into his
mother’s lap, where it lay holding to her
dress. Dildine seized the child, and,
tearing it screaming away from its
mother, started rapidly toward his wagon.
The mother ran after him, shrieking for
her child. George Hendricks, who had
maintained silence from the moment his
brother-in-law entered the house, sprang
from his chair as Dildine left the house,
and, drawing his revolver, cried out to
him to stop. Dildine paid no attention
to young Hendricks, und the latter fired.
Dildine kept on toward the wagon, closely
followed by his wife. Hendricks fired
again, but Dildine neither stopped nor
said a word. A third shot was fired.
Then Dildine turned about, facing his
wife, who had overtaken him at that
point. He was deadly pale, and after
trying to take a step forward fell heavily
to the ground. Mrs. Dildine stooped
down and took the child from her hus
band’s arms. He looked up and said:
“Helen, do you see your dying hus
band ? Your brother has killed me. ”
To a question as to whether she could
do anything for him he made no reply,
and she ran into the house with her
child.
A PIOUS YOUNG MAN.
Young Hendricks is a leading church
member of Troupsburg, and a remark
ably devout and pious young man. After
seeing that he had fatally wounded his
brother-in-law, he took his hand, as he
lay on the ground, and asked him :
“Have you any h >»pe in Christ, Will ?”
Dildine opened his eyes and said,
vehemently as he was able :
“No—none 1”
Nothing further passed between the
dying man and any of the family. Young
Hendricks walked cooly to and fro by
Dildine with his watch in his hand, to*get,
as he said, the exact time of the man’s
death. He died in eight minutes after he
fell.
Coroner M. D. Ellison was informed of
the shooting, and held an inquest at Hen
dricks’ house on Monday. Every shot
fired by Hendricks had taken effect. One
entered the back below the left shoulder
blade, passed through the left lung and
the heart, lodging in the right lung.
Another entered the left hip, and the
third lodged in the right leg below the
knee. The jury found a verdict accord
ing to the above facts, and Hendricks
was arrested and taken to Bath yesterday
and lodged in jail to await the action of
the grand jury. He says that he believes
God will hold him guiltless in doing what
he did, as it was done in defense of his
sister and children.
“I think, Philip,’’said Mrs. Sheridan yes
terday, “thatWhitelaw Reid’s poem about
that ridiculous Winchester affair has made
you vain.” “Pooh! said the General,
who was polishing his sword with sand
stone and wool, “you have the wrong pig
by the ear. Whitelaw didn’t write the
poem—it was Buchanan” “There
you go again,” interrupted Mrs Sheridan.
“Upon my soul, I’ve heard of nothing since
I came into this house bat cannon and
sword, blood and thunder. And such a
remark as a <pig by the ear!’ Now, I do
wish you’d forget the camp for a little
while, out of respect for me.”—Rochester
Chronicle.
It is well that a parent should know
the peculiarity of the pulse of each child.
The pulse of a healthy adult beats sev
enty times in a minute, though good
health may be enjoyed with fewer pul
sations. But if the pulse always exceeds
seventy it indicates disease, the human
machine is working itself out, there is
fever or inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself.
The Last Importation of Slaves.
There remain yet some natives o!
Africa in our parish, one of whom is Jo«
Williams, about forty-five years of age.

tion, who was taken from his native lan<
about twenty-eight years ago.
He was stolen from the Lower Guine;
by one of the natives of his country, wh«
employed him, with about forty boys ot
his age, to pack cocoa nuts and othei
fruits, such as bananas, etc., to the ship
After having worked all day, they wen
told to remain on Loard the vessel anti,
morning.
In the morning, however, they fount,
themselves upon the high sea, and the}
were then nailed up in boxes and hole-
made in the bottoms, through which the}
were fed.
When they arrived at the passes the
Captain instructed them to keep very
quiet; that a man was coming on board
(supposed to have been the Inspector or
Collector of Customs.) who would kill
them, but he did not discover them.
They were then sold some distance be
low New Orleans. Joe says he then
passed from hand to hand until bought
by his last owner, John Lyall, of this
parish, then residing in the city, with
whom he remained until emancipation.—
Lafourche Republican.
This man must have been one of the
negroes brought here in 1847, by a
Spaniard who traded largely in negroes
at that time. Several hundreds were
imported that year. Many of them were
lauded near Cote Blance Island, in Atcha-
falaya Bay.
A large lot was sold to the late Mere
dith Calhoun, who planted the great es
tate of that name on Red river. William
Weekes, Esq., of Weekes’ Island, in the
parish of Si. Mary, bought some, as also
did the late John M. Pelton, who about
this time was opening the well-known
Lake Plantation, in Terrebonne. Don
Juan Egana, then owner of the Fanny
Plantation, about tfiirty miles below this
city, bought that year forty-two Africans,
and he must have been the first owner of
Joe Williams.
The last cargo of negroes ever imported
into this State—and indeed the last ever
imported South—were brought here in
the Wanderer in 1858 by Charles Lamar.
They were readily sold, many prominent
citizens of this State and Alabama being
the purchasers. Through the efforts of
Hon. Thomas J. Semmes, at that time
United States District Attorney, nearly
all of the purchasers in this State were
indicted at the next term of the United
States District Court, Judge McCaleb on
the bench.
Among them was Hon. Henry W. Al
len, afterwards Governor of the State
and General in the Confederate Army.
There was much feeling in this State in
consequence of this attempt to reopen
the slave trade, public sentiment being
very strongly against it. Negroes born
in Africa are by no means uncommon in
Louisiana.
There are quite a number on the plan
tations above the city, between here and
Donaldsonville, and some also in the
parishes of Assumption, Lafourche, and
Terrebonne. The voudou queen who
reigned before Marie Lavaux was an Af
rican, and a princess in her own country.
Many of our citizens will remember that
she conducted the more occult ceremonies
of the voudo rites—particularly the in
vocation to the Spirit of Evil—in the
dialect of her African tribe. She said
fifteen years ago that she was one hundred
years old, and she had every appearance
of having reached that great age.—New
Orleans Times.
A Hopeful Look at the Business
Future.
[From the New York Herald, Jane 28.]
i here are those who contend, and not
unreasonably, that the country is not in
a better condition now than it has been
for many months; that trade is dull; a
long, hot summer is before us, and there
is nothing especially encouraging in our
present commercial surroundings. This
view may be partially true, but it is offset
by so many practical facts that the weight
of testimony is in favor of the class who
look upon the future hopefully.
1. The most encouraging reports have
been received concerning the crops in all
portions cf the country. Cotton is in a
fine condition ; wheat and corn are
flourishing; the fruit and vegetable
crops are unusually abundant; sugar and
rice are said to be looking well, and there
is a prospect of a good market abroad.
Under such promising conditions the
country will surely not go backward.
With good crops there should be a gen
eral business revival.
2. The price of labor is being gradually
reduced, thus enabling the manufacturer
to supply his products at lower rates.
Cheap food and cheap manufactures les
sen the cost of living and thus solve one
of the disturbing problems of the day;
for by the equalization of the earning
and producing powers a cause of discon
tent is removed.
3. Money is abundant—too abundant,
in fact—and too much confined to the
financial centers. But we have passed
through the worst of our dangers, and,
although confidence is a plant of slow
growth, when it blooms again it will be
to give a vitality to new enterprises, put
in active use our idle capital, encourage
investment in whatever is cheap and pos
sibly fruitful, and so start the country
afresh upon its forward march.
What Grant is Worth.—I find that
General Grant holds various pieces of
property here, assessed at $103,770.
Most of it, however, is in the suburbs,
where the assessment has not kept pace
with the property. The old Dent place on
Gravois creek, which Grant now owns,
has been recently enhanced in value by a
new railroad, and a station has been lo
cated on the farm. Those best acquaint
ed with this property say it is worth
$200,000. The stock on the place in
cludes some fine horses, and is valued at
about $50,000. Somebody has estimated
that all Grant has received in the way of
salary since I860, allowing a fair amount
for living expenses, and marking the re»2
at a fair per cent., would make a little
more than $300,000. He is worth three
times that amount to-day by the state-,
ments of those conversant with his affairs.
Besides this 8t. Louis property, he has
two houses at Long Branch worth no
mean sum, according to present valu
ations ; he has several aores of valuable
property in South Chicago, a paying in
vestment in some Chicago West side
street railway stocks, about $50,000 in
real estate in Washington, and a cash ac
count long enough to put the idea of the
banking business into Colonel Fred’s shal
low pate.—St. Louis Cor. Chicago Tribune.
A Romantic Story.—The schooner
Florinda, Capt. Kenmin, sailed from New
Orleans in 1849 for San Francisco, taking
a number of passengers who had been
seized with the gold fever, and touched
at Port Pray a and Rio Janeiro, which port
she left in the latter part of the year. A
vessel calling at Rio shortly after reported
speaking the Florinda in the Pacific, just
beyond Cape Horn, but nothing more was
ever heard of her. The New Orleans
Picayune says that a short time ago a
friend of the wife of one of the pas
sengers of the schooner read in an
English paper that a British naval vessel,
driven out of her course, sighted an un
known island in the lower Pacific, and
found upon it several persons, who said
they were the Florinda party, who had
been wrecked on the island and had been
there ever since—more than twenty-five
years ago. The names given were those
of the Florinda’s crew, and in other ways
the identity of the party is said to have
been established. It is further stated
that the offer to take the men off was
declined, on the ground that as they had
been lost so long they preferred ending
their days there. Further inquiries are
on foot to establish the truthfulness of
the account.
Sulphur and chloroform are recom
mended for extinguishing fires in ships*
holds and other inaccessible places. The
fumes of burning sulphur will not sup
port combustion, but will penetrate to
every recess, making a dense atmosphere,
in which combustion cannot continue.
