SAVANNAH, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1879.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Athens Banner gives the details of
the hanging of Jordan Sheate—the negro
murderer of Mr. Ledbetter—at DaDielsvllle
on Friday last. It says: “The condemned
man was taken from the jail at Danlelsville
by the officers of the law about 13 o’clock,
placed In a wagon and carried to the gal
lows, in an old pine field about a quarter of
a mile east of the court house. Tiie wagon
was surrouded by a company of guards
under the command of Capt. Pitman, and
seated in It with the doomed man were the
Rev. Thos. J. Allen and some others. He
was remarkably calm, and at the gal
lows asked for the 6inging of ‘Am ]
a Soldier of the Cross,’ prayed aloud,
announced his belief that Jesus had
heard his prayer, declared he was
happy, extended a general Invitation
to all to meet him in heaven, committed his
body to the grave and his soul to God, and
was dropped at thirty-two minutes past one.
The fall did not break his neck, and it was
twelve minutes before he died. He remain
ed hanging several minutes longer and the
body was then taken down. He struggled
desperately for some time after the drop
fell, and actually succeeded at one time in
getting his feet to the scaffold and the cap
from his face. A large crowd was present]
but there was no disorder. Some excite
ment was created by the accidental dis
charge of a gun in the hands of one of the
guard, but it was quickly allayed by a few
words from the Sheriff.” The body of the
dead murderer was delivered to his father,
who had it taken to Athens for interment.

The Hamilton Journal of the 13th inst.
says that the County Commissioners of
Roads and Revenue held an adjourned ses
sion last Saturday and passed orders on the
Treasurer to the amount of £j34 56. The
gentlemen who compose this commission
have economized the expenditure of the
couutv fund in every possible direction, and
it is not extravagance upon their part that
has caused the discrepancy between the tax
receipts and the expenditures of the
county. The county falls in debt because
the taxes have been reduced and its
revenue thereby shortened, and not
because the expenses have increased,
Last year the State tax was .005, and the
county tax .70 on this, or a tax of §3 50 on
each §1,000 of property. This gave §5,850 on
a total valuation of the county at $1,764,000.
JBut the present year there is not only a fall
ing off of §1S,000 in the valuation of the
property of the county, but a decrease in
another direction which more materially
affects the revenue. The county tax was
fixed by the grand jury of the last spring
term of the Superior Court at .75 of the
State tax, but the tax for State purposes
was subsequently fixed at .035, thus re
ducing the tax for county purposes to §2 60
on the §1,000, making the revenue §3,305.“
The Augusta Chronicle gives an account
of a desperate negro criminal, one William
Jones, who was on Friday last sentenced
by Judge Snead to twenty years at'hard
labor lor burglary in the night, and
also for heading 'a conspiracy of the
prisoners to murder the jailer and
make their escape, which conspiracy
would have been carried out had not one of
the prisoners, John Walker, charged with
cattle stealing, informed the jailer in time
to prevent its consummation. The Chronicle
says: “During the present week he was con
victed of burglary in the night, and, after
his conviction, was carried back to jail.
Upon his arrival there he was searched,and,
to the surprise of the officers, a sharp razor
was found on his person, and next morning
a bottle of vitriol was discovered in his cell.
What his intention was with regard to these
was manifest. He would probably have
found the opportunity to use either one or
the other on those haviug him In charge
had not discovery been so prompt. Yester
day morning he was carried into court for
sentence and maintained a defiant and inso
lent demeanor while it was imposed.
Judge Snead sentenced him to twenty
years’ at hard labor In the penitentiary,
ihe utmost extent of the law.
When the culprit was removed from the
court room, and while passing through the
hall, lie remarked to some one that the only
thing he regretted was that he ‘didn’t cuss
out Judge Snead.’ About two o’clock
after he was carried back to jail, one of the
prisoners told Mr. Bridges that Jones was
eating glass. The jailer hurried up to the
cell aud found that the information was cor
rect. The prisoner had a quautity of
powdered glass tied up in a handkerchief,
and on being questioned he admitted that
he had eateu about two handfuls of the
glass. An emetic was at once administered
and a physician sent for. ne gave the
would-be suicide a still stronger dose. The
two forced him to disgorge the glass. He
was soon afterwards turned over to Bondu-
rant & Joplin, who carried him out to the
brick yard in double shackles.”
Says the Americus Republican: “We learn
from several of the countrymen that many
of the farmers In Scbley county aud the
northern part of Sumter, are planting large
ly of wheat and oats, more particularly of
the former, while those who live in other
parts are still busy grasping after the last
lock of cotton that lloats on the breeze,
hoping thereby to help pay out their
guano debts. Our friends will find it a sav
ing investment to let the cotton alone, plow
up their ground and plant heavily of wheat,
rye and oats. It will gi%’e you a big start
next spring and your cotton crop will be
nearly a clean investment. Try it.”
Griilin News: “Several of our Griffin young
men will start West in a few days in search
of fortune. If they go with a determina
tion to work they may succeed; if not, they
will find that country a poor one for a man
to make anything In. However, we wish
them much success.”
Alluding to the suspension of the Atlanta
Dispatch, the Columbus Enquirer says : “We
indeed regret this suspension, because it
was an enterprise in Georgia, and especially
a daily paper that is the leader of the age
and the best educator of youth. The Dis
patch was under the control of Mr. J. II.
Martin, regarded as one of the ablest politi
cal writers in the South, assisted by a full
staff. It was Issued In a city of forty thou
sand inhabitants—a ratlroad centre—the
capital of the State. It was bright and
newsy. It failed because of a lack of the
people to appreciate that which ad
vanced their own interests. The mer
chants refused to patronize the medium
through which their city was made
known and recognized. Men who read
daily papers have no idea of their impor
tance or the expense attendant ou their pub
lication. The journal is ahead of them.
Calculate the cost of telegraphic intelli
gence, and then ask yourself if the subscrip
tion is not more than amply paid for by
having the news fresh on jour table every
morning before breakfast. Men ask for a
paper as if it were a free thing, and gram
ble because of the charge of a nickel a copy.
Do you give away sugar, coffee, meal,wood,
corn, potatoes and other articles that way ?
People must be educated to appreciate the
paper as the standard by which a country is
judged, and the journal is ever in the ad
vance of the section.”
Atlanta has a new sensation at last, it is
a negro boy who converts his head into a
bagpipe and plays upon It by pressing his
ear aud opening his mouth. The Constitu
tion thus describes the phenomenon: “Yes
terday morning a Constitution reporter ob
serving quite a crowd around a negro boy
in the car shed,approached and inquired the
cause of the excitement. He discovered
that the boy was a musical prodigy on a
very unique scale. By placing his right
hand over his right ear and partially open
ing his month this boy gave the exact imi
tation of the musical tones of the Scottish
bagpiper, playing many airs with perfect
accuracv. The music-seemed to come from
the inside of the boy’s head, and many
people were attracted to the spot, think
ing that the bagpipes were giving forth
their rich, mild melody. The boy was very
accommodating, and played many airs,
gliding with ease from the gay to the
grave. For instance, he played Dixie with
great spirit and rapidity, and then in the slow
est’ aud most mournful cadences gave
‘Streams of Mercy Never Ceasing. His name
U Alonzo Barnes, and he hails from Eastman.
He is only eighteen years of age,and says that
he found out by accident about three years
ago that his bead was full of bagpipes, and
has been practicing upon them ever since.
He 6ald that he could play any tune that
was whistled; whereupon some one in tne
crowd suggested that ho giye something
from Pinafore. He had never heard C* the
piece, he said, but called upon man after
man in the group to whistle It for him, but
not one 6eemed equal to the task. All ad
mitted that they had once heard it, b u ^,
long ago that it was difficult to recall. The
boy holds nothing whatever in his mouth,
but simply places his right hand over his
right ear and without the slightest effort
starts his bagpipes.”
We publish the following from the Co
lumbus Times without comment: “Mr. Tup-
per, a farmer who lives above here, has
given us the following rat story: He was go
ing out to his corn crib thi other morning, he
says, when he saw a large rat, vug head
erect, carrying a full sized car of corn in his
mouth, while at the same time his tail was
wrapped around another largeear, which he
was dragging behind him. We might have
a dozen or more such stories laid away in
our memory, but they would fqrever remain
there untold, for we know that mope than
an editor’s endorsement would be necessary
to give them credence; though we do not
hesitate at *11 to publish such a story from
Mr. Tupper, and especla.ly where he Is so
well known.” .

CROP REPORTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI
CULTURE.
Washington, November 15.—The follow
ing la the condition of the cotton, wheat,
tobacco and corn crops, as issued by the De
partment of Agriculture to-day:
Cotton—There was a decided increase In
the condition of cotton during the month
of October. Unfavorable weather was re
ported in Georgia and Alabama. In all
other States it was favorable. The returns
indicate a yield per acre of one hundred
and seventy-six pounds lint against one
hundred and ninety-one last year. This
yield, estimating the area of planting at
per cent, more than last year, would make
deficit In this year’s crop of two hundred
and ninety thousand bales of four hundred
and fifty pounds each. All the South At
lantic States show the same decline. Texas
falls off 35 per cent. All the States border
ing on the Mississippi river show decided
gains.
Wheat—Returns of November first to this
department show an increase in the wheat
crop of twenty-six million bushels over that
of last year. This great increase is the re
sult, of a very large yield iu the States bor
dering on the Ohio river and Missouri. The
Northwestern States show a little variation
from last year. Kansas and California both
decline in yield. Texas, of all the Southern
States, is the only one that falls off in yield
this year.
Tobacco—The indicated product for tha
entire country is 98 per cent, of that of ’7S.
The gain has been greatest in Tennessee,
Connecticut and New York. The loss i-
greatest in Ohio, Missouri and West Vir
ginia, with a material decrease also In
Maryland, Illinois and Indiana. Iu general
he quality is better than that of the previ
ous crop, though damaged to some extent
from louse. Burn is reported in Kentucky
and Virginia and frost in Ohio.
Com—According to the returns of No
vember first, corn promises an increase of
over two hundred million bushels, or nearly
15 per ceut. over last year. The Atlantic
and Gulf States note some decrease, but
other sections of the Union have greatly
increased their yield. The Southern Inland
States show an increase of nearly 30 per
cent., and other sections of the Mississippi
valley nearly 20. The Pacific States report
about the same yield as last year.
THE CORTES AND REFORMS IN CUBA.
Madrid, November 15.—The Cabinet has
resolved to suspend the sitting of the Cortes
next week until after the wedding of the
KiDg, when the Senate will discuss the
scheme of the abolition of slavery in Cuba,
and the Chamber of Deputies will consider
the question of tariff reform. These bills
will be discussed simultaneously. As there is
great probability that the majority of the
Conservatives will support the policy of
Premier Martinez Campos, In the
face of the critical siluation in the
colony, Senor Conova Del Castillo promises
his support. Several of the opposition and
Liberal speakers in the Cortes have inter
polated the Cabinet on the news of the ris
ing in Cuba, and asked for the details, say
ing they were anxiously desired by the
public, as private telegrams already had
announced that three noted Creole chiefs In
the late rising were at the head of bands In
Cincovillas, which were overrunning the
country districts. Martinez Campos com
municated the telegram received from
Gen. Gamir, saying that an insurrectionary
movement has just begun at Cincovillas, and
that he attached some importance to it on
account of the intelligence that Chiefs Vi
cente, Corillo and Maestrc were at the head
of the Insurgents. The Spanish forces, he
says, were iu active pursuit of the rebels.
Campos promised to communicate more de
tails directly they arrived. Herald Captain-
General Blanco was with the army operating
in the Santiago district; that the Cabinet
had nothing to fear from thelinsurrcction, as
it had already presented bills for the aboli
tion of slavery in Cuba and for reform of
the tariff, which were promised after the
pacification of Zanjon, and the Cabinet
would, with the assent of the Cortes, pur
sue the policy which already had been fa
vorably received by the most influential
class in Cuba.
THE CHAMPION DISASTER INVESTIGATION.
Philadelphia, Pa., November 15.—At
the close of testimony in the Champion
disaster inquiry, the following letter was
read:
November 13—Edward Ii. Sharwood,
E*q., Secretary—Dear Sir: We have to ac
knowledge the receipt of your favor of the
12th inst., relating to the investigation now
pending before the British Naval Court at
Philadelphia to inquire into the particulars
of the collision between the steamship
Champion aDd ship Octavia, and your
courteous Invitation to have Captain
Lockwood attend. In reply we beg to
say that Captain Lockwood is now
awaiting the United States local inspectors,
to whom he has already submitted his re
port, aud before whom lie dally expects to
be called. If, therefore, he and other par
ties interested in the vessel lost should de
sire to avail themselves of the opportunity
of your polite invitation and offers, they
could uot in any event appear at an early
day.. Respectfully yours,
Geq. W. Quintard,
For the New York and Charleston Steam
ship Company.
The court adjourned until this morning,the
Secretary, Mr. Sharwood, being instructed
to see when the Captain of the Champion
would attend. It is understood there is no
way to compel him to attend, as they are
amenable to the local United States Inspec
tors where the steamship belongs, and this
being New York city, their trial, if any,
must take place there.
A KENTUCKY MURDERER CONVICTED—PROC
LAVIATION OF THE REGULATORS.
Cincinnati, November 15.—A epecial to
the Enquirer states that Lewis Scogcs has
been convicted of the murder of Waddell,
in Elliott county. Kentucky, and sentenced
to eight years’ imprisonment. Judge Rldder
refused a new hearing, and the case is to be
appealed. The prisoner was removed from
the county jail for fear the regulators would
shorten the sentence.
The regulators In Northeastern Ken
tucky have issued a proclamation
fashioned after the Declaration of
Independence:. J.t recites that in view of
the reign of assassination, robbejry and ra
pine, which has lasted In that regiop for four
years, they have had to band together to
protect themselves and the property of
lonorable people. They deny that they are
a mob, but assert that they are an organ
ized and disciplined set of men, who mean
business. They assure good citizens that
they have nothing to fear, and warn all
barn burners and murderers to leave the
country, and threaten them with lynch law
where the State law fails of its duty.
THE ST. LOUIS MILLERS AND THE PRICE OF
WHEAT.
St. Louis, November 15.—There is a
movement among the millers here to close
their mills until the price of wheat declines.
The reason assigned is that flour is below
the price at which it can be made without
It is stated that many millers haye already
lost heavily on contracts m & de when wheat
was less than one dollar per bushel, and
they see no profit in the Immediate future.
But little flony has beep shipped froip
here for the last three week*, large
amounts are in store, more than enoughto
supply all the demand for some time. The
millers are satisfied there must be a decline
in wheat pretty soon. At all events they
will not purchase until the price falls or
there Is a margin on flour.
THE MAINE LEGISLATURE.
Augusta, November 15.—The rumors In
regard to the Governor and Council intend
ing to count out the Republican majority In
the Legislature are exciting general atten
tion. Notices were filed with the Governor
yesterday for hearings in the disputed cases
m Franklin, Lincoln, Penobscot and Wash
ington counties. It is repdrted that no
hearings will be allowed in the disputed
oases, but the certificates will be issued as
abeadr determined. A carefully compiled
list shows the Republicans to have 89 mem
bers in the Douse and qne vocmPcy by
death, while the Democrats hare 01 In the
same branch, fn the Senate the Republi
cans have 19 sod tbs Democrats w»

OPERATIONS OF THE NEW ORLEANS MINT.
Washington, November 15.—The Direc
tor of the Mint, in his annual report, states
that silver bullion purchased for the New
Orleans mint consisted principally of Mexi
can dollars and old plate. When the mint
was reopened for coinage it was expected
that a considerable amount of silver
bullion would be supplied from Mexico,
but so far these expectations have
not been realized. Notwithstanding the
fact that the department has
offered to pay bankers and bullion dealers
in New Orleans the highest market price for
sliver, deliverable at the mint in that city,
only two or three offers for the sale of
silver have been made to the department by
them, and in each case at a price above the
market rate. The mint has not been worked
to its full capacity for the reason that alike
difficulty has been experienced as at San
Francisco and Carson in procuring supplies
of silver bullion.
ENGLAND’S DESIGNS IN TURRET.
London, November 15.—The St. Peters
burg Oolos expresses the belief that Eng
land has put forward the question of re
form to mask the real cause of the dispatch
of the fleet to Turkish waters, namely: to
secure domination in Turkey; that if the
Sultan were to dismiss his Minister of the
Interior, Mahmoud Nebim Pasha, he might
receive a further period of grace, but would
at the same time become an English vassal:
that the Porte has empowered vessels of
powers which are not desiroas of English
domination in Turkey to enter the Sea of
Marmora, and that the dispatch of the Eng
lish fleet is thus deprived of its threatening
character
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER FARADAY.
North Eastham, Mass., November 15.—
The steamer Faraday came to anchor off
Nansett lights at 10 a. m. to-day. The
wind is southwest and fresh. The sea is
smooth, and the time favorable for landing
the cable.
North Eastham, Mass., November 15.—
The steamer Faraday weighed anchor about
1:30 p. m. and proceeded out to 6ea to
spot some ten miles from shore, where the
cable was buoyed this morning. It is too
late and too windy for the cable to be landed
to-day, but it ma? be landed Sunday should
the weather permit. Several hundred]
have gathered on the beach.
THB AMEER’S COMPLICITY IN THE CABUL
MASSACRE.
London, November 15.—A Cabul dispatch
says the belief of the complicity of Yakoob
Kban in the massacre gains strength. It is

Albany, November 15.—Editor Morning
News: The fouith annual exhibition
over and everybody writes It down superior
in every way to any former exhibition, and
In some lines superior to any fair held this
year In the State. The art department was
better and fuller than the display made at
the State Fair. Mrs. R. J. Bacon, as an
artist, Is not excelled anywhere outside of
the great cities. There were some juvenile
specimens that attracted a good deal of ad
miration from the crowd. One by Master
Lenny Welch took the first premium,
was the figure of a dog. Another by Miss
Mamie Crow, only nine years old, daughter
of Mrs. R. J. Bacon, called “Home, Sweet
Home,” which was a frog in the enjoyment
of his freedom, came in for the second pre
mium.
The contest in the wine department was
animated, and there was a good deal of
tasting before the committee could arrive at
what they thought was a safe conclusion.
Brooks county was declared the victor, and
the blue ribbon was tied on the bottles of
Mrs. Randolph Avera. Mrs. T. J. Young,
of Thom as ville, took the prize for the finest
display and other special premiums amount
ing in all to $60. Mrs. E. H. Bacon re
ceived eight or nine premiums in the same
department. As is always the case, some
parties were greatly disappointed, and some
murmuring was Indulgi d in, but as a general
thing the decisions of the various commit
tees were accepted and the exhibitors went
away satisfied.
One of the attractive features of the day
was the display of the Kindergarten system
of object teaching by Mrs. Thorn bury.
This system is becoming quite popular In
many sections of the South, and is claim
ing the attention of many of the best
educators.
The ladies of the various churches had In
charge the restaurant, and supplied the
wauts of the hungry abundantly for a half
a dollar. Their receipts were good, and a
division will be made between the various
denominations.
The braes band concert on Wednesday
night netted over one hundred dollars.
There were present as the representatives
of the “Fourth Estate” Colonel H. H. Jones,
of the Macon Telegraph; Captain John Trip
lett, of the Thomasvillc Times; Colonel New
man and S. T. Jenkins, Esq., of the Atlanta
Southern Enterprise; Colonel Hill, of the

1 am uuder obligations to the editors of
the Albany News and Advertiser tor favors
and attentions, and would also make my
politest bow to Captain Ainsworth, of
Thcmasville, for the privilege of riding be
hind his elegant buggy horse.
In this connection I am reminded of the
misfortunes of a fat mau. I miss many a
comfortable ride on account of my weight.
They could take In a Small man without
trouble, hut two hundred pounds is more
than they feel like taxing the strength of
their horse to carry. And then there are
many others who are exceedingly anxious
that I should notice their stock, but never
think that I would like to ride. And then
there are many exhibitors at all the fairs
who will button hole me and carry me to
their display, explain it at length and insist
that I shall notice it in the News, but when
1 propose that they shall subscribe for the
paper, they are taking so many that they
cannot take it just now. Hence it was the
rarity of Capt. Ainsworth’s kindness that
prompted me to notice It.
As an advertising medium, a fair is a pay
ing institution, but it is the poorest place in
the world to do business. Many wholesale
houses instruct their traveling men to avoid
them entirely, and the local merchants say
that their trade is greatly hindered. People
are excited and refuse to talk business of
any kind.
Among the many Institutions that go to
make up Albany, none are doing jpore for
ber reputation than the Barnes House. Unc'e

ment, and he ministers to the wants or the
traveling public with a skill and cheerfulness
that makes everything pleasant.

Is a man of The finest bueiness qualifica

The ministers of the city were kindly re
membered by the exhibitors at the fair. Rev.
Mr. Felfler was complimented with a large
quantity of different articles. It was an ap-
propritae compliment, and worthily be
stowed. He deserves it. Others were doubt
less as abundantly supplied.
I was the recipient of a dozen splendid
oranges from the hands of that excellent
lady, the wife of Rev. Mr. Hoyt, the pastor
of the Presbyterian Church, of this city.
They came from their home in Attapulgus,
Decatur county.
In reviewing the whole exhibition the
management have great reason to congratu
late themselves upon their success. Albany,
as a centre point, is not dependent upon
one or two counties for $ successful display,
but at the late fair there were articles from
ten or fifteen counties. Another year will
increase the area from which to draw
supplies, and the Southwest Georgia
Industrial Association is destined to
be one of the permanent instltu
tlons of the country. The enterprising
President and his co-workers will leave no
effort untried to make the exhibitions
from year to year more attractive.
It Is with feelings of complacency that I

Ungrammatical State Papers.—
President Lincoln was very fond of the
infinitive mood, and with it "often used
a qualifying adverb, which he placed be
tween the members of the verb, thus vio
lating one of the plainest rules of gram
matical composition. The separation of
the^sign to from the rest of the verb by an
adverb is a slipshod method of writing,
and one that ought to be discountenanced
by every lover of pure English. Presi
dent Lincoln’s expressions, “to be
falsely drawn,” “to again recommend,”
“to quietly set down,” ‘to constantly
anticipate,” were blots in all of his
most notable State papers. President
Hayes in this respect, if in no other, ap
pears to follow in Lincoln’s footsteps.

the services of General Grant during the late

and his elevation to the Presidency. He said:

In a delightfully wild section of coun
try not far from the quaint old town of
Upsala, in Sweden, are hundreds of lit
tle sepulchral mounds, amid which three
great tumuli, standing close together, are
said to mark the graves of Odin, Thor
and Freya—heroes in their lifetime, gods
in their death. Close beside them for
centuries rose the temple which was
the most sacred shrine of Scandinavian
worship. It glittered all over with
gold, and a golden chain, nine
hundred ells in circumference, ran round
its roof. In the temple were three statues,
around which hovered all the principal
mythological traditions of the north.
The central figure was that of Odin, the
wizard king, who is said to have come
in the dawn of Swedish history from his
domains of Asir, which extended from
the Euxine to the Caspian, and whose
capital was Asgard. He landed in Fu-
nen, where he founded Odense, and left
his son Skjold as a sovereign. Thence

Gen. Grant in reply said

it, and it leaves therefore nothing for me to do
but convey my thanks to this committee of citi

they have given me. To one allusion of my
reception abroad, I will say that in every case I
felt that it was a tribute to our own country. I

Gen. Greesham. At the close of Gen. Gree-

rations of the Army of the Tennessee, Gen.
Sherman rose and announced the conclusion
of the session, when the audience set up shouts
for Grant. This was persisted in until f

from his pocket a manuscript and read the
longest speech of his life, as follows: After an

we are a nation and that it must be preserved

those who fought, and fought bravely, on the
opposite side from us have an equal claim with

convictions free from molestation or ot tracism
either on account of those opinions or their
connection with the past. We ask nothing more

French country hospitality differs in
many respects from English. More is

Truth, are not expected to show them
selves before the bell rings at 11 or half
past 11 for dejeuner. If you see a lady
muffled up walking in the grounds you
are not to get in her way unless she
comes towards you; and in walking with
her you are not to offer your arm. The
reason she is to be avoided until she
shows herself sociably disposed is based
upon the supposition that she is not,
perhaps, made up for the day, and has,
while the femme de chamber is preparing
the war paint and arranging the artificial
tresses, run out with a capeline thrown
on her head to enjoy the dewy freshness
of morning. In France there is a well-
bred fiction which is generally acted upon
by millionaires who invite you to their
country seats. It is that in accepting the
invitation you do him the greatest honor.
You may be poor as Job, and known to
be so, without in the slightest degree
ceasing to benefit by this fiction. French’
society, when seen at its best, practices

These vehicles were bought at the civil

erties” of the Third Empire. Over-night
excursions are projected and debated. In
the wild freshness of morning they are
carried oat, and back we come with a
keen relish for the dejeuner, which is
served at little oval tables in a great din

to forty persons to be served, this is more
sociable and jolly than ample board.
Talk can be brisk and lively without be

male against the cruelty of human ani
mals is not remarkable for its activity in
this country. The police appear to think
it no business of theirs when carters or
coachmen brutally maltreat their horses
in the streets, or when boys amuse them
selves by torturing dogs and cats or what-
ever other creatures have the ill-luck to
fall into their hands. The horses would
appear to be aware of the supineness of
their supposed protectors, for they have
taken- the matter into their own hands,
or rather into their own teeth and feet
A carter by dint of hard flogging at his
three horses persuaded them to drag
sixteen tons of coal to the foot
of the steep hill which leads to the
Boulevard llessie/es; but his powers of
stimulation utterly failed to induce them
to proceed any farther—a thick steam
rose up from their panting sides and nos
trils. “Budge!” said the fiend; and
straightway the carter began to lash and
swear. A crowd gathered around the
ferocious beast, who abandoned the lash
and began to bang his stick into their
heads and kick them with hob nailed
boots in the sides. The leader of the team
took upon himself to protest against this
extreme measttre. fie turned round,

The crowd and the police, which

tortured the horses, interfered for the

some penalty should be inflicted on the
railway company which sent out this
heavy load of coal to be drawn up hill
by three horses, when twice the number
would have barely sufficed for the work.

now be inflicted. Why should not the
