“HE AND SHE.”
• -ihe is dead !*’ They said to him: “Come away.
Kias her and leave her—thy lore is clay!’’
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;
On her forehead or stone they laid it fair:
«u ,-r her eyes that gazed too much,
vj-i,.-v drew the lids with a gentle touch;
\V ill a terder touch they closed up well
The sweet thin lips tnat had secrets to tell;
About her brows and be tutiful face
I«r),,,y tird her veil and her marriage lace,
4nd drew on her white feet her white silk sh' es;
Which were the whitest, no eye could choose.
\nd over her bosom they crossed her bands—
•, ome away I" they said—“God understands.”
And there was silence, and nothing there
H it silence and scents of eglantere,
And jismme. and roses and rosemary;
An 1 they said: “As a lady should lie, lies she."
And they held their breath as they left the room.
With a shudder, to glance at its stillness ana
ploom,
HutV* who loved her too well to dread,
Th- si eet, the stately, the beautiful dead.
He lit his lamp and took the key
And turned it—alone again—he and she.
He and she; but she would not speak,
Tin- he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek.
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Tim' he called her the name she loved erewliile.
H“ and she; still she did not move
Tj any on - passionate whisper of love.
"hen he said: “Cold lips and breast without
breath,
Is th- ' e nu voice, no language of death,

And was it the innermost heart of the bliss
To find out so, what a wisdom love is?
• 0 perfect dead! O dead most dear,
I hold the breath of my soul to hear!
I listen as deep as to horrible hell,
As high as to heaven, and you do not tell.
“There must be pleasure in dying, sweet.
To make you so placid from head to feet!
“I would*tell you, darling, if I were de»d.
And twere your hot tears upon my brow shed—
T would say, though the Angel of Death had
laid
Hi.s sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.
“You should not ask vainly, with streaming
eyes.
Which of all deaths was the chiefest surprise,
“The very strangest and suddenest thing
Of all the surprises that d>ing must bring.”
Ah. foolish world: oh, most kind dead!
Though he told me, who will believe it was said?
Who will believe that he heard her say.
With the sweet, soft voice in the dear old way:
The utmost wonder is this—I h w ar

And am your angel, who was your bride.
And know that,though dead, I have never died.”

On the arrival in Columbus of the train
from Macon Tuesday morning, a man
named J. L. Hollifield was arrested by
Marshal Moore on a charge of swindling
and cheating in Macon. ^ He was held
subject to the orders of the Macon authori
ties, and, wheu arrested, was on his way to
Opelika, Alabama.
Evidently business must be very dull in
Taylor county. The Butler Herald gravely
asserts: “We notice some of our clerks,
and especially our dignified young lawyer,
skinning the cat for pastime.”
Bond street, Augusta, is very appropri
ately named. The Evening News of We«ln^-
-iay says of it: “ If anybody had seen Fond
^reet this morning, they would have thou ght
that the river had changed its course. It i6
impassable for pedestrians, and will float a
large bateau.” We have seen Broad street
do better than that, when it floated a Peter s-
burg barge, with a jolly crew of negroes,,
from the upper to the lower market. But
that was a long time ago.
We have received No. 2, volume I., of the
Burke County Herald, published at Waynes- |
boro, of which Mr. R. O. Lovell is the edi- ‘
tor, with Mr. J. E. Frost as associate. It is
a well gotten up sheet, neatly published,
newsy and Democratic. We hope it will
meet with success.
David Durham, a colored boy of Coving-
tou, who was struck on the head with a
brickbat thrown by another colored person
some weeks ago, died last Monday morning.
A post mortem examination revealed the
fact, that death was caused by an effusion of
foreigu matter throughout both hemispheres
of the brain, the result of concussion by the
blow.
Thanksgiving day throughout the State at
large was as much observed in the organiza
tion of shooting parties as it was in going
to church.
The Hamilton (Harris county) Journal
makes the sensible remark that from its
observation, it believes the farmers of Har
ris art patting in a larger grain crop than
usual, aud “if the low price of cotton 6hall
force the Southern people to fully investi
gate the expediency of diversified farming,
we can but regard it as a blessing in dis
guise.”
The Legislature, Railroad Pool Ticket
Agents Convention, the Pharmaceutical As
sociation and transient visitors have over
crowded Atlanta. It is estimated that two
thousand strangers are at present in the
city.
From the Chronicle we learn that Mr. Bun-
yan Powell, a young man in the employ of
Mr. W. P. Johnson, of Augusta, while
standing on a chair engaged in placing two
lighted kerosene lamps on a chandelier over-
hfa^> Wednesday evening, fell to the^floor,
ana in the fill the lamps were broken. The
oil inrf.nJy took Are and the names were
conuminteanea to Mr. Powell’s clothing,
burning him UrrU-lj- The fire was soon
extinguished by a young man name< * Cha9 ’
Dennis, who, hearing the groans in the next
room, looked in and saw Mr. Powell, w o
had torn off the clothing from his body, ap
parently suffering great agony, as the skin
hung In shreds from his arm.
Augusta Chronicle: “Harrison Beale, the
negro who was cut across the stomach at a
quilting party at his house, on the Savannah
road, Monday night, died Tuesday after
noon. Dr. M. J. Jones, Coroner, sum
moned a jury and held an inquest. The
jury returned a verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death from a
wound inflicted by a butcher knife in the
hands of Mose Williams, colored.”
Hamilton Journal: “Onlv one Hamilton
gentleman was in Columbus Wednesday
evening. He is married and solemnly vows
be was more interested in the price of rents
than in Madam Rentz.”
On the subject of Georgia ladies in poli
tics, the Chicago Tribune says: “Speaking
of remarkable features, it is also quite
noticeable iu Georgia politics that several of
the most successful politicians, and who
now head the list, are materially aided by
their wives. There is Senator Gordon, for in
stance; his wife was with him all during the
war, aud is with him all the time in VVash-
ingtou city during every session of Congress.
She conducts much of bis business for him,
and it is said that he alwajs has her advice
upon every important matter. Mrs. Felton
ought really to be the Congressman, aud not
the doctor. She conducts his campaigns
for him, and, in fact, were it not for her he
could never be elected. General Toombs
said in the Kimball House last Saturday
night that he was in favor of Mrs. Felton
for United States Senator against General
Gordon. Mrs. Colquitt, wife of the Gov
ernor, is also very politically inclined, and
renders the Governor very much assLtance
in his affairs of State. Mrs. Ben. Hill is
also always with the Senator in Washington,
but she does not take that active interest in
counseling Senator Hill that the others do
with their husbands.” More’s the pity.
Atlanta Constitution: “Last Saturday after
noon an old man named William Dickey
was knocked off the track by the down pas
senger train on the Central Railroad aud in
stantly killed. The accident occurred be
tween Morrow’s station and Jonesboro. The
old gentleman resides at Morrow’s, and was
on his way to Jonesboro to pay his taxes
when he was overtaken by the train. Being
very deaf, be probably did not hear the ap
proach of the engine, and his doom thus
silently came upou him. He was about
seventy years old, aud was esteemed as an
uprig t and honest citizen. He was buried
at Morrow’s.”
It is noted by the Griffin News as a remark
able coincidence in the history of Georgia,
that “for quite a period of time the number
of inmates in the Lunatic Asylum and the
penitentiary have been about the same.
Previous to the war, say up to I860, the
number of inmates in the two institutions
were from one hundred and fifty to two hun
dred, all whites, the accessions aud dis
charges from each being about the same for
a period of ten or fifteen years previous to
that date. Since the w»r the doors of both
institutions have been thrown open for the
beneGt of the colored race, and the num
ber of inmates have increased to up
wards of a thousand in number.
While the accessions are largely
colored, there has been a visible increase
among the whites. The trouble brought on
by the terrible civil strife of four years that
tried meu’s souls, are to be seen in the
wrecks iu both institutions. The effects of
ilie great strife, it appears, are both about
the same on the mind aud physical man.”
Talbotton Register: “An uuusually large
area of both wheat aud oats is beiug seeded
down this fall. We note as a reform in the
old methods that more attention is being
paid to putting the grain under. The
ground is beiug carefully prepared, in some
eases 6ubsoiled; cotton feed and other
manures are being liberally applied, and
the seed grain has in every instance been
•virefully selected. So with such prepara-
ard a greatly enlarged acreage, we
expect plentiful harvests another

Harris Oouwty Journal: “Last Monday
night Mr. W. T. Thompson, who lives
near Cataula, iu this county, had just retired
for the Right, whJ* u he was aroused by the
alarm of fire, given . h V some member of the
family who, iu passing through the hall, dis
covered the gin house in h.'uies. \V hen first
discovered, the flames were n.°t higher than
a man’s head, but they spread so rapidly
that Mr. T. bad only time to save two bales
of cotton that were lying under or near the
house, aud the ties on these were so hot
that he burned his hand very severely in
rolling them over. The total loss is esti
mated at two thousand dollars, and there
were twelve thousand five hundred pounds
of seed cotton and nine hundred bushels of
cotton seed, besides other farm products, in
the building. There was no insurance.
Two years ago Mr. T. made application for
a policy of insurance upon the building, but
it was refused because attempts bad been
made to fire it prior to the date of his ap
plication. Since that time he had made no
application. The work was evidently that
of ati incendiary, and was doue that the fire
fieuds might rob the dwelling house while
the attention of its inmates was attracted
by the burning giu house. The plans of the
fiends were happily frustrated, .as one of
them w r as discovered in the act of carrying
off a trunk by the Rev. Mr. Wardlaw, who
was repairing to the burning from the house
of a neighbor. The negro made good his
escape then, but was afterwards captured
and is now in the Hamilton jail. Three
other parties are suspected, and as quite a
number of gin houses have been burned in
this district within the past few- years, i% is
feared that these parties, if caught, will be
summarily dealt with.”
Judge Rives and the Preacher.
ScottsviUe (Pd.) Courier.
Judge Alex. Rives, when a young
man, saw a good old preacher riding
•town Hie Monticello road (then a single
ek.) A boy', with a long crosscut
'vhag crossways on his horse, was
jug down the same narrow road,
in the rear of the preacher.
*9fse ran away, and as lie was
Tue boy s h pious divine, the la’ter
approaching i. (^rse */id scrambled up
sprang from his .^ 4poa the Judge ex
a precipice. W he. y OU
claimed: ‘Bless my -ready, wil-
have told me that you , then strug-
ling and anxious to die, v ' pf that
gle so hard to get out of tut ■
horse and saw 1"
“Well, Mr. Rives,” the good .
plied, “I am anxious to die, but
wish to be sawed to death.” .
This circumstance reminds us ot tue
following from the Courier-Journal:
“If a man is going to the woods to
commit suicide, and a bull suddenly
gives chase, the chances are that he will
run for his life. Of course he will run.
He is going to the woods to commit
suicide and not to be killed by a bull.
Besides, do you suppose a man wants to
have his last moments disturbed by a
personal difficulty that may cost him his
life?” ^
Mr. John Mindlein, who has been ar
rested in Brooklyn for bigamy, who
sometimes a doctor and someiimes a
preacher, and sometimes a milkman's
a ssistant, is also a rogue greatly given to
ge’ting married. It is iu evidence that
he lmd eight spouses, and he may be rea
sonably rated as the champ.on brnle-
groomof the nineteenth century From
the names of his brides it is evident that
his taste is for the yellow-haired maidens
(and widows) of the Fatherland. Kathe
rine Heustle. Christine Koof, Maria Knip
and Magdalena Merdel—all these with
others has John made Mrs. Johns. W hen
it is added that he is also suspected of
stealing horses as well as hearts, his richt
to a permanent residence in the btate
prison will not be disputed by the most
disputatious. He is here mentioned be
cause he seems to be a kind of study of
depravity, and a scamp interesting to ail
students of the morbid anatomy of hu-
man nature. Really, his ramahty is
affecting. He draws and h« repels.
With Katherine and Christine it was a
little different unfortunately. —Albany

Brain Poisoning by Nicotine.—A
Deculiar case of mental hallucination has
just appeared at Battle Creek, in the per
son of a young tran about eighteen or
twenty years old. He is a cigar maker
by trade, and has been in the habit of
smoking from len to thirty green
cigars daily. He has not drank liquor suf
ficient to produce delirium, and yet he is
a raving lunatic, and suffers all the bor-
rible phantasmagoria that pertain to the
fully developed tremens. He has worked
iu and used tobacco ever since early boy
hood. Of late years he has used it ex
tensively, principally in strong cigars
and it is sunposed that the nicotine has
so poisoned auu shattered his mind as to
partly paralyze it, thus producing the
disorder. He has been taken to the in
sane asylum at Kalamazoo for treatment.
—Detroit Nexts.
He bad a cold in his head. She met
him at the door and ushered him iu. then
said. “The weather has changed rather
suddenly.” “Yes, got damp-quick!” said
he, aud to this day he cannot account
for her leaving the room so unceremoni
ously, and the “old man” appearing and
conducting him out.

Section L Be it enacted, etc.,

Politico Religious Fire Eaters.
Cou rier-Joumal.
The Northern “religious” Radical
newspapers have resumed their old habit
of calling upon the Lord to blast the
Southern people. The New York Wit
ness, for instance, prints a letter purport
ing to come from a “persecuted Repub
lican” in the South, which contains the
following points:
“The causes which produced the late
war are being reproduced, and the
Southerners seem bent on pulling down
upon their own heads another shower of
destruction ! The next war will be one
that will end in real liberty defended by-
power—the power ol the mighty North.
“It is in the heart of every good man
and woman in the old loyal States to see
the emancipated blacks have several
things, chiefest among which are:
“First—Personal liberty.
‘‘Second—Educational advantages.
“Third—Opportunity’ to buy aud own
land.
“Fourth—Honest wages for labor.
“Fifth—The right to vote freely.^
“These are now all denied in the South
as a rule. There are some exceptions,
for here and there are some colored per
sons who are personally free, who have
educational advantages, who own land,
who get payjor their work, and who are
allowed to vote freely; but the mass of
them are in the deplorable condition I
name. How long, oh Lord, how long?”
That is piiiable, indeed, and it is a
wonder that bit of white trash stayed in
such a dreadful country a dav. But,
hold! We observe at the end of the
persecuted “pusson’s” letter the follow
ing judicious foot note by the sacrosanct
editor of the \Vitn*tj. JJe says:
“The above letter is fiom a gentleman
who resided eleven years in the South
and had extensive experience there as a
government officer. He also owns a large
amount of real estate there. He does
not wish llis name published, simply be
cause if he returned t0 South he
wou!4 be mu.dered for writing .. e
truth.”
“As a government officer,” Oh, yes;
we understand—stole the real estate
probably-, and has an indictment pending
against him. Just how long the Lord
will have patience with Radical villainy,
we don’t know, but it looks as if its ca
reer was about to be wound up.
To the Senate and House qj' Representatives:
The Committee upon the State’s Institu
tion for the Deaf and Dumb jointly made a
visit to the institution on Wednesday, the
13th instant. The day was spent in investi
gating the condition of the buildings aud
grounds; in carefully examining iuio the
management of the institution, and in ob
serving the exercises iu the sebool rooms,
so as to ascertain the benefits accruing to
the deaf mute wards of the State.
The books of the Secretary aud Treasurer,
and of the principal, were submitted to the
committee, with vouchers for every dollar
expended, which were examined aud fouud
to be correct iu every particular. The
thorough system which characterizes the
books and vouchers of these officers clicked
the admiration of the examining committee.
On our committees were seveu gentlemen
who were members of the committees on
this institution from the last Legislature,
and who visited it iu January, 1877. These
members of our committees are unanimous
iu the expression that a vast improvement
characterizes the couditiou of the insiitu
tiou over that iu which the last committee
found it. Neatness aud order pervade every
department. Iu the management we can
see nothing deserving adverse criticism.
We are satisfied that the tru>tees
aud officers have done everything iu their
power for the good of the uufortuuatc
children, while, considering the increased
attendance, the management has been
economical.
The appropriation made by the Legisla
ture of 1877 was $12,000, for the support of
the white institution, with forty children iu
attendance. The Constitutional Conven
tion, after abolishing the session of the
Legislature for January last, continued for
1878 the same appropriation as for 1877.
The attendance duriug the present year was
as high as seventy-three—nearly double the
number for which the $12,000 was made.
The appropriation for the present year will
not cover the expenses of the institution,
and iu the appropriation for 1879 and 1880,
an allowance must be made to cover this
deficiency, which is estimated at about
$1,500.
W hen the attendance reached seventy,
the institution was too much crowded to
justify the Superintendent iu receiving
larger number of children. Thirty-seven
girls were compelled to occupy two
sleeping rooms, there being buttwoapart-
ineuts for the girls. The beds in these
rooms are literally touchiug each other. We
most heartily indorse the report of the
board, that this is not as it 6bould be; it is
not conducive to healtl, convenience or
modesty. Again, there is no part of the
building which can be spared for an iu
firmary or hospital apartment—an impera
tive requisite iu au institution of this hind,
where so many persons are together, and
where contagious diseases may, at any time,
appear.
iu view of the inadequacy of the room for
even the present attendance on the iustitu
tion, aud the certainty of an increased at
tendance iu the future, we recommend an
appropriation for the immediate construc
tion of au addition to the present buildiug,
which shall comprise six school rooms, a
chapel, a library room, an office room, aud
an exhibition hall for the exercises of the
children. Then the apartments in the pre
sent buildings, used for the purposes above
named, can be remodeled aud used as dormi
tories. Almost the entire interior of the
present building should be remodeled, as its
present internal construction is most awk
wardly designed, beiDg neither convenient
nor economical in arrangement. We re
commend that the new buildings shall be
constructed in a substantial manner, as it
would be poor economy for the State to
erect a building which would have, at some
time, to be rebuilt. It should alto famish
accommodation for two hundred children,
for it is probable that, with the large num
ber of this unfortunate class iu our Slate,
the attendance will, within a few years, ap
proximate, if not reach, that number.
The State purchased in 1876 property,
located near the institution, to be used as
an institution for the colored deaf-mute
children of the State, uuder the direction of
the Board of Trustees of the present insti
tution. To complete the repairs on this
property requisite for the reception of the
colored mutes, some two thousand dollars
must be expended. Then furniture, school
books and apparatus, and every necessary-
convenience for the support and instruction
of this class, arc to be supplied.
The money which the board of Trustees
have had to expend, has been insufficient
to enable them to make all the repairs and
improvements needed upon the premises of
the institution for the white children. It is
important that sewerage he at once provided
for the drainage of the grounds about
the buildiug. The physician of the iusti
tute calls upon the trustees not to delay
this. A laundry is needed, there being no
house on the premises that can be used for
this purpose. A barn house and stable are
greatly needed, considerable fencing, and
various important repairs upon the property.
For the support of the two institutions,
white and colored, and for the making of
the needed repairs upon both, the Board
of Trustees, iu their report ask for
$25,000 per annum, for the y ears 1879 and
1880. Iu view of the depressed condition
of the financial affairs of the State, we
have decided to recommend that the annual
appropriation, for the support and inciden
tal expenses, be $20,000 instead of $25,-
000. This, we believe, will be necessary
to properly provide for the two institutions.
It will be remembered that, a«ide from sus
tenance alone, the expense of instructors,
officers of the institutions, and attendants
upon these afflicted children, have to be
paid; and, on account of their poverty, a
large number of them have also to be
clothed. We also recommend that, instead
of the $25,000 asked for by the board for
the construction of an additional building,
$20,000 be appropriated for building pur
poses and repairs.
Our observations satisfy us that the edu
cational interests of the deaf and dumb are
well subserved at our institution. We de
sire also to say that the importance of this
charity cannot be over-estimated. This
class of our afflicted fellow-citizens are
wholly dependent upon this institution for
education. Here they receive instruction
which they can no w-here else receive, en
abling them to communicate with their
fallow-men. They are also taught trades,
enabling ihcrn to be self-supporting when
their terms of schooling are ended.

Fatal Shooting Accident.—John
Vi. Beech accidentally shot George M.
Wood on Friday night. Both men re
side in Springville, Ya., about six miles
from Washington. Wood called at the
bouse of Beech about one o’clock Friday
niiiht and commenced knocking at the
front door. A man living in the house
hoisted a window, but Wood refused to
answer his inquiries. Beech heard the
knocking and also ihe voice frjnj the
window, and, thinking some one was
breaking in the house, got his pistol and
proceeded to the door. In passing down
a flight of steps the pistol accidentally
went off. passed through the door and
entered Wood’s neck, inflicting a wound
from which he died in a few minutes.
A sad dog in San Francisco is called

developed a taste for beer, and now he is
devoted to all sorts of liquor, from ab

pears morose and sullen till he has had a
drink or two of whisky, when he cheers
up and frisks around in the liveliest man

change his mood; he becomes cross and
quarrelsome and finally falls into a con

Kerosene Oil and Diphtheria.—A
correspondent of the Pittsburg (Pa.) Re
publican writes from West Chazy: “Al
low me to say a few words of the greatest
importance to the public, through your
journal, in regard to the terrible disease
diphtheria, which is raging with great
destruction of lives throughout the coun
ty. It has raged here to a fearful exteut,
quite a number of cases proving fatal.
There is a large family here by the name
o‘|Lighf, a miller, who moved here from
Rochester this season. Mrs. Light said
to some of the neighbors ih 4 t previous to
moving here she had an attack of
ditphtheria and cured herself by the use
of kerosene oil as a gargle, also swallowed
some; but the remedy was so simple that
our citizens didn’t think anything of it
nf Joseph Jelley’s children were
Sundown with me ^' heri * Their
throats became swollen and cankered
terribly. .Airs. Jelley sent after her
neighbor, Mrs. Milliette, who had lately
lost a son by the disease, to ascertain
whether it was really diphtheria or not.
Mrs. Milliette pronounced it diphtheria
in a very dangerous form. Mrs. Jelley
said she would use Airs. Light’s remedy
—kerosene oil—which she gave her chil
dren as a gargle, also had ihem swallow
some. The children recovered rapidly,
and in a few days were out ou the
street. Several other cure3 are men
tioned. ” _
A Young Wife Ruined—Suit for
Half a AIillion Dollars Damages.—
Suit has been entered in the Circuit
Court of Philadelphia by Frank F.
Brightly, against Gouveneur Korbright,
of New York, plea of trespass rietarmis,
in which it is alleged that defendant
ruined the wife of the plaintiff about the
first of Afarch, having led her astray in
Philadelphia, and at Newort in July, and
that he finally induced her to leave the
home of her husband on September 9th
of this year. Brightly is a young lawyer,
living with bis father-in-law, Wm.* B.
Mann, protbonotary and ex district at
torney, and his counsel are bis father,
Frederick C. Brightly, (one of the bright-
e-t lawyers in the city and compiler of
Purdon’s Digest,) and Pierce Archer. Jr.
On beginning the suit young Brightly
left the hou.>e of Alann. Damages are
laid at half a million. It caunot as yet
be ascertained that any suit for divorce
has been brought.
A Queer Southern Outrage.
Washington Post.
Among the victims of Attorney Gen
eral Devens* bloody shirt crusade is Mrs.
John Simms, of Wilson, North Carolina.
Airs. Simms is a female bulldozer—if
that be an admissible expression. Her
offense is that of committing a Southern
outrage, of a political nature, upou the
person of her husband, John Simms. It
appears that Airs. Simms, who is a female
of color, and stalwart both as to her
Radicalism and her muscle, commanded
her husband to vote for O’Hara, the col
ored candidate for Congress. Simms
promised to do so, but on his w T ay to the
polls was met or overtaken by a couple
of white men ou horseback. These mis
creants, not having the fear of the fif
teenth amendment before their eyes, shot
John Simms in the mouth with a bottle of
apple-jack. In fact, they fairly riddled
him, so that by the time John arrived at
the polls be was too badly wounded to
remember his promise to Mrs. Simms.
He was indeed so badly intimidated that
he voted a Democratic ticket which the
two white men put into his hands, and
for the rest of the day John Simms slept
and slumbered in the kindly shade of a
wood shed. Toward night he awoke
and sauntered forth with a headache.
He soon met a colored acquaintance,
who advised him that Airs. Smims had
been apprised of bis voting the Demo
cratic ticket, and was looking for him.
Thereupon John Simms, probably believ
ing hiufeelf to be at the Hardshell Bap
tist forks of the road, leading to perdition
in one direction and to damnation in
the other, incontinentally took to the
woods. And he remained in the woods
until the 12th inst., a period of seven
days,when, being nearly starved, be was
forced to show himself again in town.
For the rest, let us quote the local
chronicler, who says: “Simms’ wife met
him on the street, and having provided
herself with a heavy hickory stick, she
administered a severe beating on her lord
for failing to vote for the man of bei
^choice. The woman was arrested, not
however, until she had laid about thirty
iaslies on the back of her husband.”
Later advices say that after John’s
personal safety bad been assured
by the lodgment of his stalwart better
half in the jail of the vicinage, some of
his Democratic friends escoited him to
the office of the United States Commis
sioner, where he made a complaint in
due form agaiust Airs. Simms on the
cnorge of “abridging his rights on ac
count of race, color or previous condi
tion, contrary to law and the Const!
tution of the United States.” Airs
Simms was thereupon bound over to
keep the peace and await the action of
the United States grand jury. All the
local accounts agree that the affair is the
crudest piece of persecution, ou political
grounds that any negro has ever been
subjected to iu North Carolina. In view
of ihe peculiar gravity of the case, w
suggest to Attorney General Devens the
propriety of employing special govern
uient counsel to assist the District Attor
ney in the prosecution of Airs. Simms
We think it perfectly safe to promise
him that the Democratic House will
cheerfully appropriate the money
quired to pay the fees of special counsel
iu this remarkable case. As we under
stand it, Air. Hayes’ intent«on is to en
force the laws with strict impartiality
Colonel Crockett.
“I ne-/er but once,” said the Colonel,
“was in what I call a genuine quandary.
It was during my electioneering for
Congress, at which time I strolled about
iu the woods so particularly pestered by
politics that I forgot my rifle. Any mall
may forget his rifle, you know; but it
isn’t every man who can make amend,
for his forgetfulness by his faculties, I
guess. It chauced that I was strolling
along, considerably deep in congres
sional ; the first thing that took
my fancy was the snarling of
some young bears, which proceeded
from the hollow of a tree; but I soon
found that I could not reach the cubs
with my bands, so I went feet foremost
to see if I could draw them up by the
toes. 1 bung on the top of the hole,
straining with all might to reach them,
uutil at last my hands slipped, and down
I went more than twenty feet to the bot
tom of that hole, and there I found my
self almost hip deep in a family of fine
young bears. I soou found that I might
as well undertake to climb up the greasiest
part of a rainbow as to get back—the hole
in the tree being so large, and its sides
so smooth aud slippery from the rain.
Now this was a real, genuine, regular
quandary. If so be I was to shout, it
would have been doubtful whether they
would hear me at the settlement, and if
they did hear me, the Story would ruin
my election; for they were a quality too
cute to vote for a man that ventured into
a place that he couldn’t get himself out
of. Well, now, while I was calculating
whether it was best to shout for help,
or to wait in the hole until after
election, I heard a kind of grumbling
and growling overhead; and looking, I
saw the old bear coming down stern
foremost upon me. Aly motto is always
‘go ahead!’ aud as soon as she lowered
herself within my reach, I got a tight
grip of her tail on my left hand, and
with my little buck-hafted pen knife in
the other, I commenced spurring her
forward. I’ll be shot if ever a member
of Congress rose quicker in the world
than I uid! She took me out in the
shake of a lamb’s tail.’’—Frontier Life.
Kidnapped by Savages.—A corres
pondent of the Elmira Advertiser relates
the following: George Simons, a well-
known resident of Towanda township,
and at one time an employe of the Penn
sylvania and New York Canal and Rail
road Company, went West last spring to
)repare a home for himself and family,
lis wife, with their four children, joined
him in the summer. He had settled
within four miles of Kansas City, AIo.
Some two weeks since the Indians made
a raid into the neighborhood, destroyed
his crops and burned the buildings he
had erected. Two of his boys got on a
horse and attempted to escape. The
savages shot’ the horse, and in the fall
the arm of one of the lads was broken.
However, all succeeded in getting away
except Dora Simona, a girl of eleven
years, whom the Indians captured and
carried away with them. The agonized
father, fearing for her a fate far worse
than death, pursued her brutual captors,
In company with six qy seven of liis
neighbors. At last accounts he had fol
lowed tlje Indian trail for two hqndrefl
miles westward from Kansas City. Part
of the little party of men who had
started with him in pursuit had returned.
Grave fears are entertained that tl|e rem
nant of the number have been captured

FRANCIS JOSEPH'S HOME.
The Charming Every-Day Life of the
Emperor and Empress of Austria.
Deep in the beautiful valleys of the
Salzkammergut, at the spot where the
wild mountain streams of the Traun and
the Ischl unite, embosomed in woods of
fra.rant pine, upon which look down
from afar the snow-clad peaks of the
Bavarian Alps, is the summer retreat of
the most hard working, and conscien
tious, and yet, perhaps, the most unfor
tunate of European crowned heads.
Driving up a broad gravel road, bor
dered ou both sides by a closely-sbaven
sward dotted with clumps of majestic
evergreens, extending on your right to a
lofty pine clad hill with winding paths
and rustic summer houses, known as the
Kaiserberg, you approach the bouse, a
plain mansion of white stone, looking
cool and refreshing in the sunlight with
its bright green hills. In from is a wide
parterre, ablaze with beds of hot bouse
flowers in all colors of the rainbow.
Flanking the vestibule are two grand
hunting subjects in bronze, the size 1 of
life, purchased by the Empress at Ihe
Vienna Exposition.
You enter the spacious hall, and ire
told that the splendid antlered he&ds,
each with a little ivory tablet, bearing a
date, whic i line hali and staircase from
floor to roof, are all trophies of tin Em
peror’s prowess in the chase. A capital
shot and a passionate sportsman, this is
his only relaxation from the cares of
State, lou happen to have a friend
among his personal attendants. Their
Alajesties are driving out, and yo l are
permitted to see their apartments. Those
of the Emperor are simple enough—two
large, plain rooms, covered with India
matting, and simply furnished in dark,
sober looking walnut. By his bedside
stands, before a priedieu, a silver cruci
fix, with ivory Christus, the gift of his
father, the late Archduke Franz Karl,
on his first communion, as the inscrip
tion at its base tells you, and which al
ways accompanies him on his travels.
On his^ writing table are lying some
coarse Virginia cigars—for he is an in
veterate smoker—and on a shelf above
are a well worn military cap and a few
books in several languages.
A long corridor divides these rooms
from the apartments of the Empress,
still, in spite of her rising family of
grandchildren, a celebrated beauty.
Here is imperial splendor enough. Ante
chambers tilled with choice exotics, Louis
Quatorze furniture iu white and gold,
rooms m rose and blue and pale green
silk, Aubusson carpets, gilded mirrors,
curious cabinets, and, what most attracts
your notice, a fine collection of water-
color dra ' ings of Tyrolese scenery. In
one of the ante rooms is lying, on a deer
skin mat, a big full-blooded English mas
tiff—a great favorite with Iler Majesty,
and her companion on all her journeys.
This imperial dog has a special atten
dant devoted to bis service—a gayly-
dressed Aloor, sent as a present to the
Emperor by the Viceroy of Egypt, after
his last visit to Vicuna. As you step out
of the villa, you notice a large swing,
with which the Royal children amuse
themselves; and grazing in the paddock
are half a dozen Hungarian mares.
The flash of a chasseur’s white plume
comes in sight, and their Alajesties drive
past you ou their way home, in a low,
open carriage, drawn by a span of greys.
A tall, spare man, of soldierly bearing,
in the light-blue uniform of an Austrian
General, who does not look much over
forty, though he is nearly fifty, with
sandy hair, cropped close to the head,
aud turning au iron grey, regulation
military whiskers and moustache, small,
restless grey eyes, and the blunt features
aud heavy lips that distinguish the Haps-
burg family. This is the ir.au whom,
thirty years ago, a bloody revoluiion call
ed to the throne of Austria. He is mas
ter of half a dozen European languages,
and wins the hearts of his subjects by
addressing deputations from Hungary
and Bohemia, from Austrian Poland and
Croatia, each in their mother tongue. In
spite of his almost proverbial misfortune
in war, he is personally very popular all
over the empire.
At Ischl the Emperor rises with the
sun, and after a cup of coffee and a kip-
fel. starts off in an old undress uniform
jacket and foraging cap, with a thick
stick for a companion, for a solitary
hour’s ramble in the woods. Towards
eight, the imperial courier arrives from
Vienna, and some time is spent in at
tending to dispatches and papers of State
—for Francis Joseph holds the strings of
two or three portfolios in his hands, and
is not a crowned puppet. Then, if the
weather is fine, he breakfasts with the
Empress and his children in a pretty gar
den pavilion. At four he dines, gener
ally en famille.
Prosaic and matter-of-fact as the Em
peror looks, there is a touch of romance
about his marriage. The Empress Eliza
beth is his cousin. His elder sister, now
the Princess Thurn Taxis, was destined
for the imperial throne. But the young
monarch, in going to Alunich to visit his
intended bride, was so struck with the
charms of her younger sister that after a
ball at the Schloss of her father, Duke
Max, he presented to the young Bavarian
Princess, then a girl of fifteen, a bou
quet, telling her that she was thenceforth
Empress of Austria and Queen of Hun
gary and Bohemia.
Playing with Fire North and South
New York World.
A private letter from a lady in Louis
iana has been put into our bands, which
throws a strong light on the folly and
wickedness of those Northern politicians
who insist on trying to blind the
Northern people to the fact that what
they represent as a “social war” at the
South is really a struggle of the vice,
gence, thrilt and order, and in no true
sense of the phrase a struggle of the
black race against the white. The
writer of this letter found herself in the
heart of the late riots in Louisiana,
having left New Orleans with her
family to escape the yellow fever. She
says that all the trouble in the region
round about her home was fomented
by the harangues of' the lower
grade of Republican politicians,
who grew desperate when they
saw the more respectable classes
of all colors deserting their ranks. These
men actually assured the negroes that
they were iu danger of being re-enslaved,
and that if they wished to preserve their
liberty they must kill the whiles and
burn their property. The deluded blacks
were further told that Northern opinion
would uphold them in pillage, arson and
murder in such a cause. A certain Capt.
Peck went, according to this account, to
remonstrate with one of the leaders
among the negroes and was shot dead as
he approached the house. A report was
instantly spread that five hundred whites
had gathered to avenge Capt. Peck’s
death, whereupon three or lour thous
and negroes, armed with old United
St-.tes muskets, pistols and shotguns,
surrounded Waterproof and occupied
all the roads leading to it for miles, “the
whole neighborhood,” as the writer says,
“pre>euting the ap^earancj of js’ew
York during the riots.” These crowds
declared that they would kill every wlme
man, woman and child iu the town, and
nil efforts at pacifying them met with
but partial success. Imagine a woman
with several young daughters in the cen
tre of such an excitement! Happily the
inil.tia from Natchez appeared before
anj thing worse than the burning of a
mill and some cotton had bee a attempted.
The truth seems to be that ihe least
reputable of the negroes, under the
demoralizing rule of reconstruction
have had things their own way so
long in regard to politics and Labor con
tracts that iu the rural regions they have
become intolerant of opposition. It is
not the instinct of race, but the law of
self-protection which is driving all the
better elements of the community into
union against them. It is not because
they are black that they arc dreaded,
but because they represent actual idle
ness and impending anarchy. Setting
aside the color question alto
gether, can anything be more
monstrous and absurd thnn to
to find Northern speakers and writers
hounding on black laborers into a social
war against the wealthier and more intel
ligent classes at the South, while they de
nounce every sign of union and co-opera
tion among the white laborers of the
North as leading directly to agrarianism
and communism? Who are so loud in
their clamor against the Southern people
to day as those who most enthusiastically
called for grape and canister duriug the
social disturbances of last, year at the
North? People who watch such men as
Schwab and Kearney with a jealous anx
iety, waiting only for a single transgres
sion of tkclaw to make example or them
and their followers, are not ashamed to ar
ray themselves against all the elements of
social order and goo4 government at the
South as the allies of a class compared
with which every element of our North
ern population, black or white alike,
may be considered well equipped for citi
zenship. If ever there was a case of
playing with fire this is such a ca>e. It
may not be imjiossible to kindle the war
of the poor against the rich even in this
country, which our fathers fancied would
be forever exempt from such trials. But
the flames of such a contest, lighted at
the South, will spread inevitably to the
West and the North. The philanthro
pists who are more than suspected of
putting the suffrage iuto the hands of
the freed nic-u of the South rather
as a weapon agaiust the Southern
whites than as au instrument of
Southern prosperity, have already laid
themselves open to the suspicion of at
tempting to take the suffrage out qf the
hands of the laboring whites of the
Noiih. If the i'ipbi to rule States is
claimed for the negro laborer at the
South, not because he is a laborer but
because he is a negro, it may not be long
before the right tq rule States is asserted
by the white laborer at the North, uot
because he is white but because be is a
laborer; and it would be hard to show
that the second claim is not a far sounder
claim and far more compatible with the
interests of society aud of civilization
than the former.

Beast Butler’* Nephew.—Colonel
George H. Butler, the nephew of Gen.
Butler, and former Consul General to
Egypt, is now undergoing a sentence of
thirty days in the Washington work
house in lieu of a fine which he was
unable to pay in the Police Court. Dur
ing the past year Butler has been of dis
sipated habits, and has been either in
jail, the hospital or the workhouse one-
Lalf of the time. His relatives, friends
and wife have done everything to induce
him to reform, but without success, and
they have all abandoned him to bis fate,
not one coming forward to pay the small
line for the offense for which he was
committed, which was that of being
drunk in the street and being a vagrant.
His mind is so affected that at one time
he was for months in the insane asylum
here.
The probability is that several entirely
innocent persons have had the stigma of
robbing Stewart’s grave fastened upon
them. Given persons of sufficient ob
scurity. and the machinery called law in
New York city, can wreak on them as
much arbitrary treatment as the German
anti Socialist bill itself admits of.

‘A Solid South.”—What now is the
cry about ? It is not even alleged that
the negro is not paid for his labor. It is
not charged that the negro is cheated in
affairs. It is not claimed that his rights
in property are infringed. It is not as
serted that he does not get his own. The
indictment is that he doesn’t vote the
Republican ticket as Republicans think
ought. “Only this, and nothing
more.” It is not the happiness of the
colored man, but the happiness of the
Republican party that is disturbed. The
black man votes with his friends, with
the men that give him employment and
pay him, or. attending to his humble busi
ness, he doesn’t vote at all, and the Re
publicans North think that there lias
been a great outrage. This is a large
fraction of the Southern question. The
negro only asks to be let alone to earn his
bread for his wife and children. It is
chiefly Republicans who want his vote
that will not let him alone. It is not the
negro in the South that complains of
beiug robbed of his rights; it is the Re
publican politicians in the North. The
colored people have all the rights which
the ballot was given them to secure. If
the country were to war for them to
enter complaint, there would be no sec
tional question in our politics at all,—

Borax for Colds.—A writer in the
Medical Record cites a number of cases
in which borax is proyed a most effectual
remedy in certain forms of cfljdc. tie
states that in sudden hoarseness, or loss
of voice in public speakers or singers
from colds, relief for an hour or so, as if
by magic, may be often obtained by
slowly dissolving, partially swallowing,
a lump of hor&X the size of a garden pea,
or about three or four grains, held in the
mouth for ten minutes before speaking
or singing. This produces a profuse se
cretion of saliva, or “watering’’ of the
mouth and throat—probably restorincr
the voice or tone to the dried vocal eords^
just as “wetting” brings back the miss
ing notes to a flute, when it is too dry.
The New York Herald has discovered
some wonderous halls and chambers
under ground in Virginia; there are
“ luray caverns,” “ beautiful monu
ments, grottoes, columns, balconies,”
and, to crown all, a “weird rotunda,”
which is immensely superior to the great
rotunda in the Mammoth Cave. This Is
all very well, but -ye wish the informa
tion came from a journal more reliable
than that which discovered the volcano
in North Carolina.— New Orleans Times.

that a glass of liquor is a daily necessity
he must soon quit drinking and attend

Exploits of a Forger and Confidence
Man.
Sax Francisco, November 25 —A man
giving the name cf G. Saville register&l
at the Baldwin Hotel ou the 8th * instant
and induced Mr. E. J. Baldwin «o pur
chase for him mining stocks to the
amount of *2u,(*J0, transferring as secu
rity ® letter 61 credit on the Union Bank
of London and two £10 nc4es on the same
bank. Inquiry made through the Bank
of California showed that the letter and
notes were forgeries, and Saville was ar
rested. Saville claims that he purchased
the letter and notes in good faith, but in
formation in the hands of detectives ren
ders it almost ccriain h® Is one of a gang
which a ccrtair) W. J. Flosswell, arre^L
ed iji New York on the 7th instant
for passing forged notes of the Union
Bank of London, was the leader. Ha-
ville, it is alleged, after leaving New
1 ork went to St. Louis, where he passed
for an English nablemao and married a
beautiful girl from Boston. He went
frqm sat. Louis to Denver, and from
there came to this city. He denies com
plicity in the crime, and urges that he
simply resembles the aian who is wanted
"e further alleges that C. C. Joy, the
Rocky Mountain detective, got from*him
several thousand dollars m money and
jewelry by threats of arrest Saville was
formerly a bank clerfc in London. His
general appearance and the tattoo marks
on his hands answer to the description of
the mau sought. It is also reported that
Saville is wanted in New York tor pass
ing forged notes on the Union Bank of
London on Thomas & Kirkpatrick, jew

A Delaware Skeleton and Murder
Story.—One of the results of the storm
of October 23 was the undermining of au
old building belonging to the Edgemoor
Steel Works, on the Delaware shore, two
miles north ot Wilmington, Del. The
company thereupon moved the building
a short distance back from its original
si^e, and proceeded to build a wad alone
the river at that point. While caga^ca
iu this work Saturday afternoon the
workmen unearthed the skeleton of a
young man, a little more than two feet
below the surface, lying on iu back.with
both arinsext' udc-d. The bouse referred
to w&i formerly known as the Qld Shore
House, and iu days gone by was the ren
dezvous of a pretty rough crowd. About
thirty five years ago a young Jersey man
crossed the river from Penn’s Grove oue
night, stopped at this house, and was
never heard of afterward. Old residents
in the neighborhood think that the skele
ton so strangely resurrected accounts for
his disappearance, and that be was mur
dered and hurriedly interred upon the
spot.

pitiful, as he charges that his wife has

by keeping drunk on two or three bottles
of Rhiae wine a day, worth one dollar
and a quarter a bottle, forcing h ; m to
mend her own and the children’s clothes
and do the family washing.
