The Quitman Reporter suggests to immi

wish to obtain homes “in the best part of
the world” (Brooks county). It says in
effect that lands are cheap there now,
but there is no telling how long they will
remain so.
“Is it true or not,” asks the Quitman Re
porter, “that all the candidates for the dif
ferent county offices have agreed to meet
at Quitman on Thursday, the 33th instant,
and throw up heads and tails to determine
who shall stand for election in January ?”
It says: “We rather like the plan, and think
it decidedly better, and in the main will
give more general satisfaction than the pri
mary elections proposed for the 30th inst.;
besides, the candidates compose a pretty
good proportion of our population, and they
can’t all be elected if they continue to run.”

The Albany Netcs publishes an account of
the burning on Wednesday night of last
week of a gin house on the Monghon
lace, Lee county, about nine mile* from
Albany, and on the Sunday previous of
another gin house, with thirty or forty
bales of cotton, on the Byron place. A
corn crib on the Hickory Level place, under
the management of Mr. C. G. Flournoy,
and containing about seven hundred bushels
of coni and forty thousand pounds of fod
der was also destroyed. All these Ores were
the work of incendiaries, and a negro
woman on the Monghon place, above men
tioned, stated that there was a plan on foot,
concocted by negro Radical politicians of
that neighborhood, to burn out all the gin
houses there and escape to Florida. Two
of the villains have b -en arrested, and are
in jail. It i9 to be hoped that if found
guilty they may not be permitted to escape
justice on the ground of “emotional in
sanity.” drunkenness or ar y similar plea.

Hawkinsviile Dispatch: “The grand jury,
In their general presentments last week,
recommended that the jail committee be re
quested to find out what would be the cost of
building a bridge aer*»88 the Ocmulgee river
at Hawkinsviile, and that said committee
report to the grand jury at the next May term
of the Superior Court. Also, that the grand
jury at the May term take steps to erect a
bridge over the river at this place, provided
the finances of the county will warrant the
work. There is not now a wagon or public
bridge over the Ocmulgee at any point from
Macon to its confluence with the Oconee
river. As the county is required to keep up
a free ferry at Hawkinsviile, It is thought
that the buildiug of a bridge at this place
would not or.lv l>e a source of revenue to
the county, but that it would be of great
benefit and convenience to all of the people
of Pulaski as well as the traveling public.”

The Albany News preaches consolation to
Its farmer friends over the low price of eot-
ton in this wise: “Cotton is low, but we
must not be discouraged or have a case of
the ‘blues/ Not during thirty years has
the cost of articles of prime necessity been
so low. Flour, bacon, corn, 6ugar, coffee
and clothing are at their minimum, and
these of course drag other values down. We
want to impress it upon our farmers to pay
more attention another year to making their
farms self-sustaining and self-supporting.
Give more of your land to food crops, and
more of your time to the care of your stock,
such as hogs, cattle, sheep, horses, mules,
etc. Exercise economy and prudence, en
ergy and perseverance, and Georgia is all
right, even if the price of her ‘fleecy staple*
is low.”
Augusta Chronicle, 21st: “Rev. Drs.
Edward Lathrop, of Connecticut, and S. S.
Cutting, of New York, representatives of
the American Baptist Home Mission So
ciety, will hold a meeting in the lecture
room of the First Baptist Church, at ten
o’clock this morning, to which are invited
the pastors and deacons of all the Baptist
churches in the city, white and colored.
This meeting will consider the propriety of
erecting a handsome brick Theological
Seminary, on Telfair street, on the present
6ite of the Augusta Institute for colored
ministers, presided over by Rev. Dr. Jos. T.
Roberts. If Augusta is deemed a proper
location, the structure will arise at an early
date; if not, the institution will be re
moved to Atlanta, where all of the
churches in that city, white and colored,
desire it to be placed. The school is purely
theological in character, aiming only to
properly prepare colored men for the Bap
tist ministry in Georgia and adjoining
States. There are now some eighty students
in attendance, quiet, orderly and well be
haved young men. Dr. Robert, the Presi
dent, is a Southerner, a South Carolina gen
tleman of the old school, belonging to one
of the most illustrious families of this sec
tion of country, and by his immense cul
ture, is eminently qualified to preside over
this important religious enterprise. The
Southern Baptists especially desire that
Southern men should instruct the rising
ministry of colored youth.”
Augusta News: “We do not believe that
Governor Colquitt was influenced by im
proper or corrupt motives when he gave the
State’s endorsement to the Northeastern
Railroad bonds, and hence we cannot see
how his character can suffer by a public in
vestigation of the matter; while, on the
other hand, we are sure the secrecy of the
investigation gives it a bad appearance and
clearly implies rottenness somewhere.”
Says the Knoxville Tribune: “Hurrah for
Georgia! The old State sometimes bolts
the track and elects Independents to Con
gress, but the re election of General Gordon
shows that there’s sense in the old land yet.
Tiie triumph of the noble soldier-sta’esman
is the triumph of the South. We bail his
return to the Senate by an almost unani
mous vote, as the most glorious act ever
achieved by a Georgia Legislature. The
South could not afford to lose Gordon.”
SENATOR LAMAR.
filayes’ Policy, the Ureenback fauwe
aud the Presidency Under lie-
view.
Cincinnati Enquirer. 19 th.
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, was in
the city yesterday en route from his
home to Washington. An Enquirer re
porter met the Senator last night and in
lerviewed him on a few questions of the
hour.
“IIow were the elections in the
South ?”
“In my State they were as peaceable
as any elec!ion in the world coui i possi
bly be. Not a human being was mo
lested or made afraid. As a general
thing, in consequence of the fever, the
people did not largely turn out to the
election. There was but little organiza
tion of the Democratic party in the
State, or rather none at all. The oppo
sition was much better organized in the
First and Second districts than we were.
The candidates were unable to make a
public canvass, aud the people went to
the polls of their own motion.”
“Did the Greenback party show much
strength?”
4 *1 think not.”
“Did not Davis, in the Second district,
receive a heavy vote?”
“Gen. Davis is much stronger in that
district than the Greenback party. He
is a popular aud able man, and received
a large vote on account of his popu
larity.”
“Wfiat are the prospects of the Green
back party in the South?”
“Well, as to that, so long as the right
of the people of the Saudi to self gov
ernment is made an issue in nalioual
politics the people of the South will not,
aud, in my opinion, ought not, to allow
any quu>pon as to currency to divide
them. The bomb is more solid in favor
of self-preservation thau divided as to
national policies.”
“How did the Republicans vote in
Mississippi?”
“In my district they voted solid for
the Greenbackefs’ candidates, officials
and all.”
“Do you mean that the Federal officers
voted that way ?”
“Ido.”
“Will the South he likely to ask a rep
resentaiivc on the Natioual Democratic
ticket in 18S0 ? *
“I do not think the Southern people
cherish any aspirations for the control
of the Federal Government or its honors
or patronage. They will support a ticket
without a Southern man upon it just as
cheerfully and cordially as with one.
It will depend entirely upon what the
party deems best to do in order to accom
plish success, but a Southern man will
not be needed on the ticket to give it
strength in the South.”
“Do you think that if the Republicans
were to put a Southern man u;»on their
ticket it would bring to that party any
considerable support in the South?”
“Not the least, with the present pur
poses and organization of that party.”
“As a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, which would the South pre
fer, Thurmau or Hendricks?”
“The South is impressed with a deep
sense of gratitude to both of these gen
tlemen, and would support with enthu
siasm and confidence whichever the
National Democracy should determine it
most expedient to nominate.”
“Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, is spoken
of more generally by the Eastern De
mocracy than any other man. Would he
be as enthusiastically supported by the
Southern people it* either Hendricks or
Thurman, if nominated by the conven-
ti >n?”
“He would be. No man in the nation
is more honored and beloved in the South
than Mr Bayard.”
“As to the”Y ice Presidency. It is often
said that a Southern man will get that.”
“Of course the South would feel a
deep sense of gratitude at the recognition
of either Governor Hampton or Senator
Gordon or Senator Ransom, by placing
one of them on the national ticket, but
still it will not be demanded by them or
regarded as essential to secure the co
operation and support of the Southern
States.”
Senator Lamar started to Washington
last night. He was accompanied by his
family. _
One Moucaud, aged fifty-six, and his
wife Caroline, aged thirty-seven, have
been imprisoned at Louhans, L rauce,
upon a ciiargeof murder. Moucaud has
had three wives and thirteen or fourteen
children, five being by the pr« sent wife.
He is accused of having murdered the
two first wives and most of the children,
including one born a week before his
arrest. His wife charge* him with hav
ing strangled the infant the night after
its baptism, and he charges her with
having poisoned the two previously
born. Only two children remain of the
three marriages, aud evidence is expected
to prove Moucaud to have killed all the
others, in addition to the two deceased
wives.
Diamond digging at the Dutoitspan
fields in South Africa has been unusually
successful of late, and, besides several
beautiful stones of fifty carats each, a
large diamond, weighing two hundred
and forty four carat*, was recently found.
The “water” of the stone is not of the
first quality, being of a light “off-color,”
but the gem is free from flaw, and will
cut very full. This is the second largest
diamond ever found in South Africa, the
“ Spalding” diamond, found in the river
diggings some years ago, and weighing
two hundred and eighty eight and a half
carats, being the largest.

THE BRITISH BESIEGE ALI MUSJID.
Km bek Pass, November 21.—At day
break this morning Gen. Brown stood on a
little plain beyond Jumrood, watching the
march to the front. A picket of the ene
my’s cavalry was visible on the top of
Shagal Kidge, beyond range. The advance
guard marched briskly on and presently
crested the height, whence, at ten o’clock,
a skirmishing lire was opened on the ene
my’s picket. The latter retired after a
desultory reply. Our force pressiug on and
occasionally tiring, reached Shagai Ridge
whence Ali Musjtd is clearly visible.
At noon Ali Mu.-jid fired the first shell,
which burst iu the air. The second 6hell
was well aimed at the flagstaff on Shagai
Ridge, without bursting beyond it. A long
halt was necessary to allow our he vy bat
tery to coine up, and the interval was util
ized by the horse artillery in placinggutis
the height to our right. Fort Ali Musjid re
plied, and the firing became somewhat brisk.
Meanwhile, firing was heard to the left of
Fort Ali Musjid, aud some persons con
strued that it was McPherson’s turniug
movement on our right coming into opera-
t’ou, but the Afghans about Fort Ali
Musjid held their ground, although
thus apparently threatened on flauk
and front. Our horse artillery fire
was fairly served, and the Afghaus
replied with spirit from Fort Ali Musjid at
first, but afterwards slackly.
At 1 o’clock p. m. the forty-pounders
reached the scene, as also the Mageuniss
■ine-pounders. The horse guns then moved
off the Kidge and gave place to the nine-
pouuder battery, while the forty-pound ere
were placed against the right of the Afghan
position.
The Afghan guns slowly but steadily re
plied, making good practice, especially from
their seven-pounders iu the central bastion.
About 2 o’clock two forty-pounder shells
crushed into the central bastion and crum
bled a great portion of It, apparently dis
mounting the gun which had been so stub
born.
NEW ORLEANS MINT—REVENUE TROUBLES IN-
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Washington, November 22.—The New
Orleans mint will be reopened about the
first of January.
Commissioner Raum has received a tele
gram from Collector Brayton, dated Colum
bia, November 21st, stating that Capt.
Huffman telegraphs that bis detachment of
revenue force was surrounded last night
in a house where they were stoppiug iu
Abbeville county, near the Georgia line, by
a baud of armed men of at least forty,
and ordered to leave the county. Their
lives were threatened and several shots were
fired. The officers withdrew to Abbeville
Court House to await reinforcements, w hich
Brayton ordered. He says that warrants for
the arrest of the offenders will be
obtained and executed; also, that special
Deputy 8andford report* the seizure, near
Spartanburg, of two horses, a wagon and
seventy gallons of whisky, and the arrest of
two blockaders. The Commissioner replied,
instructing Brayton to reinforce Hoffman
sufficiently to overcome all resistance and
make all proper seizures and arrest*, and be
concludes: “I wish it distinctly understood
that I will opj»ose any further ainuesty in
your State. Offenders must expect to be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION—MURDER BY IN
DIANS.
Cincinnati, November 22.—A special
says that the boiler of an engine of the Co

exploded la«t evening. One man was killed
and several scalded—two seriously.
A special says that John Taylor, with his
wife and two children and Miss Clutz,
left* Springfield Mission, in a wagon,
for Colorado two months ago. Nothing
was heard from them until a few days ago,
when a letter received from Mi-s Ciutz
stated that the Indians captured tiic party
and murdered all except herself. She wa*
afterwards rescued by United States troops.
The letter graphically describes the light

were killed and wouuded before capturing

RIDICULOUS DUEL—THREAT OF A COUP
D’ETAT.
London, November 22.—The Times' Paris
dispatch says: “The conditions of the duel
between M. Gambetta and M. de Fourton
provided for only one exchange of shots.
At the conclusion, the seconds shook bauds,
the principals lifted their bats, and all left
the ground. Rilled pistols were used. The
conditions of the duel, a single fire
at thiity-five paces, remind one of the bur-
le*que encounter at Viendville Theatre with
swords at ten paces. The duel will excite
laughter aud surprit-e, and will add nothing
to the reputation of the parties. As De
Fourton had the choice of weapons, hi*
seconds probably laid down the conditions.
M. de Fourton, in a speech in the Cham
ber of Deputies on Monday, 6aid : “If I
had done, ray whole duty, you (the Left)
would not be sitting where you are.”
The Republicans are greatly excited at
this threat of a coup d'etat, and the talk of
impeaching the De Brogde Ministry
is revived. The correspondent of
the Times says that the public
must know exactly what was
this dutv, which would have paralyzed the
wfll of tie nation. The Cabinet of the 16th
of May is pledged by the words of De Four-
ton. if he persists in trying to evade the
jurisdiction of the Chambers’ Electoral In
quiry Commission, the duty of the Cham
bers will be to force him to explain him
self before an unimpeachable tribunal.
Such words cannot be allowed to
pa*s without an explanation, and the
public will not be reassured till it knows
exactly what the 16th of May Cabinet con
templated against individual liberty, and
what the present government is iu a posi
tion to do to protect them from a return to
power of men who formed that Cabinet.
The foregoing is an echo of w hat the Re
publican newspapers have been saying since
the speech was delivered.

PROCLAMATION OF TUB VICEROY OF INDIA.
Lahore, November 22.—The proclama
tion of the Yiceroy of India recount* the
history of the relations between India and
Afghanistan during the last ten years. It
says: “In return for the kindness of our
actions and Intentions, as witnessed by the
Ameer’s reception at Umballa, by the ma
terial aid offered him from time to time,
and by the free commerce with India ac
corded to the Afghans, we gained only ill
will and discourtesy. The Ameer openly and
assiduously attempted, by words and deeds,
to stir up religious hatred and bring about
a war upon the British Empire in India; and
although he had repelled all efforts for
amicable intercourse by the Indian Govern
ment, he formally received a Russian Em
bassy; and, finally, while the Russian mis
sion was still at Cabul, he forcibly repulsed
the Eugli*h Envoy, whose coming had Been
duly notified to him, and met our at
tempts to promote friendly relations
with open indigrit? and defiance.
The Ameer, mistaking for weakness
the long forbearance of the British Govern
ment, thu$ deliberately incurred its just
resentment. With the Suidans and people
of Afghanistan the Indian Government has
no quarrel, as they have given no offense.
The independence of Afghanistan will be
respected, but the Government of India
cannot tolerate that any other power
should interfere in the internal affaire of
Afghanistan.”
The proclamation concludes as follows :
“Upon the Ameer, Shere Ali, alone rests
the responsibility of having exchanged tbe
friendship for tbe hostility of the Empress
of India. ’
GEN. GIBBON’S REPORT ON THH INDIAN DE
PARTMENT.
Washington, November 22.—In bis re
port to the War Department, Gen. Gibbon,
commanding the Department of Dakota,
after describing the murder of Edward
Frazier by the ludians, teudersbis contribu-
tiou to the literature of the Iudian Depart
ment question, bolding that any attempt to
place the control of Indian affaire under
two departments so radically op
posed in principle as the Military
and the Iudian, has resulted in
clashing authority and a state of affairs
which is working to the detriment of the
Indian. “The average Indian agent,” he
says, “while preparing the red man for
heaven, as he thinks, is actually making a
hell upon earth for him by leaving
him unclothed aud unfed, while frequently
the price of his clothing is put
iu the agent’s pocket. The army officer, on
the other hand, who has been educated to
account for every cent’s worth of property
received from the government, and is
anxious by feediug and clothing the Indian
to keep him peaceful, gains credit in the
minds of well-meaning people. If the
system of responsibility which prevails in
the army existed in the Indian Department
much of the now well founded charge of
looseness and fraud would be avoided;
but,” he says, “uuder the total lack of sys
tem in that department, the responsibility
is so loose and fraud .so easy that the won
der is, not that peculation should some
times occur, but that it does not happen in
all cases.”
THE CZAR PRESENTS A SWORD TO THE AMEER.
London, November 22 —A Berlin dispatch
to the Times says Geucral Kaufman has de
livered a costly sword to Mundsha Mabom-
ined Hassan, Chief of the Afghan Legation
at Taskeud, to be transmitted through him
to the Ameer of Cabui. When presenting
the sword, General Kaufman delivered
the following address:
“My illustrious sovereign, in whose em
pire the sun never sets, and whose raised
fi-jger causes millions of soldiers to take up
arms, sends this pledge of friendship and
unchanging affection to hi6 friend and ally,
the noble and chivalrous ruler of the
Afghans and Beloochees. History teaches
that Russia ever espouses a just cause,
and that she has always known how
to protect her allies from the attacks of any
enemy, however powerful, and whoever
sides with Russia need not fear that a hair
of his head will be injured. The power of
tbe Russian sword is great; this is a fact
known to the enemies of Russia a6
well as to her allies. May God protect
and preserve the two powerful sovereigns,
the Czar and the Ameer. May God
promote the welfare of the two allied coun
tries. to the benefit of the Afghans, the
Russians and humanity at large. May the
tcho of these words awaken consolation
and hope where oppression and tyranny arc
paramount.” The blade of the sworu has
tbe following iut-criptiou in the Persian
tongue : “ May God give thee victory over
tue infidels.”

RUSSIA AND EAST ROUMELIA.
Pbsth, November 22.—Count Andrassy,
the Austrio-Hungarian Premier, has in
formed the Delegation of Froucbat that
Prince Labanoff, the Russian Ambassador
at Constantinople, declared to the Porte
that East Iioumelia would be evacuated only
three months after the Porte signed a treaty
replacing the treaty of San Stefano. Aus
tria’s views being asked by the several pow
ers, she declared that tiie treaty was
Russo-Turki6h affair, but that the no-tpone-
rnentof the evacuation of East RoumeUa
was contrary to the treaty of Berlin. Russia
admitted this view aud disavowed Prince
Labanoff’s declaration. Russia has since
emphasized her wish to conscientiously
execute the treaty of Berlin, only demand
ing that the Porte will do so likewise. The
expectation that the Porte will do so is
justified by the benefits she derives from
the treaty.
LIVERPOOL COTTON CIRCULAR.
Liverpool, November 22.—The weekly
circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’
Association, in its review of the cotton
trade, says: “ Cotton has been in fair
demand throughout the week, but the
market has be»-n generally dull, except for
long staple, which has advanced. For
American, the demand was fair, but quotar
fions are reduced l-lfl@Xd., except for or
dinary-grades, which are unchanged. Sea
island was in improved demand. Medium
grades of Florida are rather dearer, and the
supply is small.”
In futures, the business was limited. An
advance of l-16@3-32d. was obtained last
Friday morning, out was mostly lost during
the day. The market has siufc.e gradually
weakened, closing at I-33d. below last
Thursday’s prices.
THE VATICAN AND THE ITALIAN GOVERN
MENT.
London, November 22.—A dispatch from
Rome to the Tones says: “The P<*pe did not
telegraph direct to King Humbert, but
directed the Archbishop of Naples to con
vey the expression of the Pope’s feeling of
indignation at tbe execrable attempt on His
Majesty’s life, and also the hope that His
Majesty might at length recognize the dan
ger of the policy watch, by violating all
divine and human laws, hud so thoroughly
demoralized the people.”
The statement that the Italian Govern
ment had granted an exequatur to the Arch
bishop of Naples Is untrue.

THE CZAR WILL EXECUTE THE TREATY.
London, November 22.—A dispatch to
the Times from Phillippopolis says that the
words of Gen. Todleben, during his recent

adding that on his recent visit to Livadia
the Czar expressed a firm intention to exe
cute that treaty.

Snead 136, Jones 23, Gibson 52.
Brunswick Circuit being called, Senator
Folks nominated Judge John L. Harris, and
Mr. Fort, of Sumter, nominated Hon. M. L.
Merehon, tbe latter receiving 14 votes aud
Judge Harris 190.

ston, of Newton; Senator Cabaniss nomina
ted Hon. James 8. Boyuton, of Spalding,
seconded by Mr. Hulsey, of Fulton; Mr.
Cooke, of Pike, nominated Hon. A. M.
Speer, of Spalding, seconded by Senator

aud Boynton ran neck and neck for a time,
but on the home stretch Speer shot ahead and
held his own. Floyd being then withdrawn,
his vote was divided between Boynton and
Speer, electing tbe latter—the vote stand
ing Speer 112, Boynton 83, Floyd (un
changed votes) 9.
Macon Circuit, like Brunswick, tfas not
lively. Mr. Nisbet, of Bibb, nominated

nominated Judge Herschel V. Johnson for
re-election. Everybody wanted to Just make
it unanimous by acclamation, but the law
required a call of the roll. This doue, the
vote stood 202 for Johnson.
Mr. Matthews, of Talbot, moved that the
joint session be now (at one o’clock) dis

The call of the Southern Circuit was a
rather dull affair. Mr. Hammond, of
Thomas, nominated Judge Augustus U.
Hansell for re-election, aud nobody said a
word, but every member voted “Hansell”
when his name was called. Judge Hansell
has not been here “looking after his own

being absent. A motion to dissolve the

The galleries were full daring the day and
also the lobby. There was considerable
applause from friends of the successful can
didates. The Senate, in early morning ses
sion, read a few new bills for the first time,
but I am unable at this late hour, as the
night mail is just dosing, to add a report of
thtir titles. Chatham.
The Latest Life Insurance Sensation
The recent death of Colonel Walton
Dwight, of Binghamton. N. Y.. brings
to maturity' the largest line of life in
surance involved in any single instance
in this country. But the case is beset
with complications which indicate diffl
culty in making an amicable settlement
with the companies. In the latter part
of September he applied for insurance in
several life companies, and was willing
to take policies for almost any amount,
but insisted that all the premium pay
ments should be made due quarterly.
In less than three mouths he succeeded
in securing policies to the extent of
$256,000 in favor of his wife and son,
and he applied to nearly every insurance
company in the United States. The
following companies are reported
having issued policies to him: New York
Life, $10,000; Washington, New York,
$10,000; United States, $10,000; Brook
lyn Life, $5,000; Home Life, $3,000
Lquitable Life, $40,000; Union Mutual,
of Maine, $10,000; New Eugland Mu
tual, $10,000; State Mutual $10,000;
Massachusetts Mutual, $10,000; National,
of Vermont, $10,000; National, of Chi
cago, $10,000; Mutual Benefit, New Jer
sey. $10,000; Travelers’, of Hartford,
$10,000; Manhattan Life, $20,000; Ger
mania Life, $10,000: Mutual Life, $10,
000.
The United States Life Company of
this city was the first to become alarmed
at the vast amount of insurance Mr.
Dwight was accumulating. His name
was becoming famous in life insurance
circles, but he seemed to be a hale and
hearty man, and answered all questions
frankly. The United States Life exam
ined his career, aud found that he had
been sick and suffering from hemorrhage
of the lungs. An agent was sent to
Binghampton, who saw Mr. Dwight
aud asked him if he had ever had bleed
ing of the lungs. He answered in the
affirmative, but said he did not think it
of sufficient importance to say anything
about it when he tilled out his applica
tion for insurance. The agent informed
him that he had not made a truthful re
port of his physical condition, and that
the company would at once cancel his
policy, but return him the full amount
of the premium he had paid, with
interest to date. Dwight refused the
offer, and said he was not to be bulldozed
by the insurance companies. Mr. Dwight
had then just returned from a protracted
tour with his gun iu the woods on a
damp and foggy dav. He looked very
sick and nervous. Inquiry revealed the
fact that Mr. Dwight the previous day
had stripped off his clothing and swam
across the Susquehanna river four times;
that he rambled about the woods day
after day without food, and was endeav
oring in every possible way to ruin his
health. These facts were made known
to the life insurance companies, and
there was a rush to Binghamton of doc
tors aud detectives. Before any other
company, however, could tender him
his money or cancel liis policy Mr.
Dwight died of reported hemorrhage of
the lungs.
The theory of the life companies i*
that Mr. Dwight made up his mind to
terminate his life w iihin three months.
No company received a second
premium, all the payments were quar
terly, aud as soon as he obtained all the
insurance possible he began to destroy
his life; that finding he was likely to
live until the second premiums became
due, he hastened his death by poison.
Ou Monday the insurance men held a
hasty consultation and sent two physi
cians to hold a post mortem examt
nation of the remains, and the
stomach will be secured for medical
analysis. It appears that Mr. Dwight’s
family physician has been pre
scribing arsenic for his patient for the
past three weeks; consequently, ii that
poison were found it would be no indica
tion that he had committed suicide by
poisoning. A long legal contest in any
case will ensue. Already Mrs. Dwight
is reported to have secured the services
of Orlow W. Chapman, late Superinten
dent of Insurance, to press her claims
against the companies.
Colonel Dwight was forty-one years of
age, and a man of tine personal appear
ance. The amount he lias paid to the
various companies for premiums aggre
gates $2,100. Two or three Hartford
companies, not in the above list, are said
to be among the victims.
A Romance of the War.
Pittsburg Leader.
A gentleman well acquainted with Col.
Realf, and an ardent admirer of his
poetry, relates a story told by him. while
the two spent a night in conversation,
criticism and recollections, so dear to
men of his kind, over a cosy fire and
warm decoctions. He spoke of the
night before the battle at which Gen
W. S. Lytle fell. The two (Realf and
Lytle) lay together in the General’s tent.
They were both given to writing poetry
at such times, and each had an unfiu
ished poem on hand, and they read ami
criticised each other’s efforts humorously
for some time, when said Lytle:
“ ‘Realf, I shall never live to finish
that poem/
“ ‘Nonsense/ said I, ‘you will live to
write volumes of such stuff.’
“ ‘A feeling lias suddenly come over
me,’ continued the Geneial solemnly,
‘which is more startling than a prophecy,
that I shall be killed in to-morrow’s
fight. As I spoke to you I saw the green
hills of the Ohio gs if I stood among
them. They began to recede from me
in a weird way, and as they disappeared
the conviction flashed through me like
the lightning’s shock that I would never
see them again.’
“I rallied him for his superstition, but
the belief had become strangely im
pressed upon his mind, and he succeeded
in so far thrilling me with his own un
natural fear that I begged him to finish
his poem before he slept, that such fine
works might not be lost to the world.
“ In the small hours the General
awakened me from a slumber into which
I had fallen iu read to mo that beautiful
poem, which must live as long as our
literature survives, beginning:
“ ‘ I am dyinfc, Egypt, dyliuf!
Bbbe the crimson lire blood fast.’
“My eyes filled with tears as he read.
He said not a word as he concluded, but
placed the manuscript in his pocket and
lay down to sleep.
“ Before dawn came the call to arms.
When I next saw poor Lytle he was cold
in death among the heaps of slain. I
thought of the poem, and, searching tbe
pocket lyherp J had seen him put it,
drew i’ forth, and it was forwarded,
among other things, to his friends.”
A Strange Presentment.
Ernest, a bright boy of seven years,
oldest child of Mr. Samuel Templeton,
gate-keeper on the Prairieville gravel
road, just below this city, met with an
accident on Thursday of last week,
which resulted in his death soon after
ward. About noon on that day he
mounted a wagon loaded with wood,
with the intention of unloading it. The
lad seized a stick, and was in the act of
throwing it to the ground, when he lost
his equilibrium and fell, head foremost,
to the earth. His crie9 brought his
father to his assistance, who led him into
the house. The boy did not seem to be
much injured. He was conscious, ex
plained to his father how he fell,
pointed out his bruises and conversed
rationally for an hour, when he suddenly
lost consciousness and remained in that
condition until his death, which
occurred about six hours after
the accident. The night pre
ceding the above sad accident Mrs.
Templeton, the mother of the child, had
a strange presentment of his death.
Early in the evening, while the child was
asleep, she approached bis little bed, and
looking into his face burst into tears.
The grief with which she was overcome
was intense aud uncontrollable. It at
traded her husband’s attention, who in
quired into its cause. “Samuel,”* the
weeping mother answered, “I don’t think
we will ever raise this child.” “I can
see no cause for your fears,” replied the
father, “the child is as healthy as can
be.” But this answer did not satisfy the
mother, for a dark cloud hung over her.
Her heart beat rapidly aud heavily.
Strange shadows crossed her vision; an
unseen grief oppressed her; the presage
of some horrible coming event cast a
burden on her soul she scarce could
bear. At the usual hour the sob
bing mother retired, but her re9t was
uneasy. Toward midnight she arose
from her bed and again sought the
couch of her boy, who slept tbe deep,
sweet sleep of innocent childhood, all
unconscious of the grief-stricken mother
who bent over him, bathing his face
with tears and kisses. Mr. Templeton
expostulated with his wife, and assured
her that her fears were a mere whim,
and begged her to calm her grief and
go to sleep. But no sleep came to that
mother’s relief that night, and day broke
lo bring her no respite from the sad
burden her bleeding heart bore. The
slightest unusual noise about the house
thrilled her with evil forebodings,
and thus the weary hours dragged on
until the foreshadowed end came in the
accident as above related.—Louisiana

THE CENUINE
DR. C. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSFSreiA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Removing Objects from tiie Ear.—
In dealing with foreign objects situated in
the external auditory meatus, syringing
the passage will often suffice to effect their
removal; but in many cases forceps and
other instruments must be qsed, yet they
should be employed with the greatest
caution. As a rule, jf left alone, the
substance becomes loose, and falls out
on the pillow as the patient lies in bed.
In extracting foreigu - bodies from the
ear, M. Debout has recommended that
the mouth of the patient should at the
same time be kept opeu. It is sufficient
to introduce the end of the finger into
the external auditory canal, and to make
the lower jaw move, in order to become
convinced of tne enlargement that the
canal undergoes each time the condyle
of the jaw is made to move. Dr. Vol-
tilina, in some practical remarks on the
subject, says that in the removal of the?e
bodies we should never employ force;
not that the foreign bodies should be left
in the ear, but that mailers should not
be made worse by violent manipulation.
More recently Dr. Dolby has laid down
the very practical law that no attempt
should be made to remove a foreign
body from the ear unless the auditory
canal be thoroughly illuminated. Where
this rule is broken, the tympanic mem
brane will most probably be ruptured,
and the life of the patient be thus placed
in imminent peril.
Secretary Evarta ti w* Beeu interviewed
by the Tribune once more, and
learned Secretary 'informs that paper
that the Southern leaders are not the
men the President took them to be, and
the administration is going to enforce
the laws against the Ku-Klux.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
arc costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin ; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, vet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory' to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated,
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Da. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills
bear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the
market being full of imitations of the
name Me Lane, spelled differently but
same pronunciation.
