derson and Cato Waden shot aud killed each
other in what is known as the Horn neighbor
hood, ten or twelve miles west from here, and
south of Harmony Baptist Church. Their
wives had fallen out aliout a cup of salt, and
used some pretty rough language on Wednes
day or Thursday. On Friday Anderson wont
to Wade’s wife and abused her aud dared her
to open her mouth, at the same time threat
ning to ‘blow her head off.’ On Saturday
night the men met at a gathering aud used
pretty lioisterous language, which ended in
the death of both. VVaue ran at Anderson
with his gun presented, and Anderson, seeing
that lie intended to shoot, threw up his gun
and both fired at the same instant, both re
l*>rts lieing as one. Wade shot Anderson in
the abdomen, the load of buckshot—or part of
them—passing through him and killing him
almost instantly. Anderson's load of eleven
buckshot entered Wade’s chest on the right

DORSEY ON THE VERDICT.
AX ingersollian address to
COLORED SERENADERS.
How it will be Looked Upon in the Fu
*ur * The Story It Carries to the En
slaved Millions Beyond the Seas
Twelve Honest Men whom Gold could
not Corrupt.
W ashington, June 15.—S. W. IVorsev
was serenaded late this evening at his
residence by the Colored Republican Club
of this city. He made a brief speech in
acknowledgment of the courtesy, and
after profuse thanks and compliments to
the courage, of his serenaders, Dorsey
said: “But over and above all that this
verdict has told is a story in whose pres
ence humanity will bow down. Possibly
not this year or next, but the time will
come when it will lie pointed to as
Macauley pointed to the trial of Warren
Hastings. The trembling wires of intel
ligence that bore the messenger of acquit
tal to Berlin, Moscow and Dublin, told
the poor, lowly and hopeless that there
were yet twelve men to lie fouud who
could deal justly by them; that there was
not a government large enough; that
there was not a public treasury fruitful
enough; that there were not leads of gold
thick enough, and there was not an ex
ecutive power great enough to seduce the
judgment of twelve honest men. I don’t
care about myself. It is a matter of little
consequence who is convicted or who is
not. It is a matter of great consequence
whether there is any government power
ful enough, or whether there is any trea
sury full enough to bow down a citizen,
however humble. This trial and this ver
dict has placed upon th books of justice
a splendid record of the manhood of men.”

torney General, as Justice ot the Supreme
Court, as a Delegate to the Constitutional
Convention of 1865, as Governor and as

arduis jidelis,” inscribed upon the fac
simile presented to him by the Gen
eral Assembly of the great seal which
be preserved for the commonwealth,
his memory is the priceless heritage of

sorrow in this city. The Journal says:
“No man living enjoyed in a fuller meas
ure the confidence and regard of the peo
ple of this State, and no one more richly
deserved them, and now that he is gone
no one will be more sincerely mourned
and att'ectiouately remembered. He died
full of years and honors.”
SORROW IN ATLANTA.
Mourning for the Death of Prominent
Georgians.
Atlanta, June 15.—The funeral of
Hon. John M. Clark, formerly a member
of the Legislature from Chatham, occurred
this morning. The services at the house
were conducted by Rev. Dr. Strickler and
Rev. Dr. Barnett and at the grave by Rev.
Dr. Rogers. Many old citizens were pres
ent and also a large delegation of the Ful
ton bar, as court adjourned for the rune
ral. Col. B. Spencer and Col. P. L. Mvnatt
were pall bearers from the Bar Associa
tion. The services were simple* but vet
impressive. At the request of the de
ceased Dr. Strickler spoke from the text,
“I know that my Redeemer liveth.” Mr.
Clark was buried beside his wife, who was
an Effingham county ladv, at Oakland
Cemetery. *'
At the same hour Trinity Methodist
Church was crowded at the funeral ser
vices of the venerable mother of Rev. l)r.
Haygood. The mourning drapery and
floral designs were beautiful. Over the
pulpit were the words in white flowers
“Asleep iu Jesus.” Rev. Dr. Baring,
Rev. Mr. Branham and General Evans
conducted the services, which were of the
most tender and impressive character.
As this mother in Israel was the founder
of this church, a long procession fol
lowed her remains to the grave at
Oakland Cemetery, where they now rest
beside those ot her lamented husband.
Thus two venerable couples are again
united.
Judge Steward will render a decision in
the Shorter will case to-morrow.
Mr. Simms sat up to-day and is improv

of this Catholic archdiocese, together
with all the Archbishops in
America, has been called to Rome
by the Pope to consult with refer
ence to the proposed Plenary Council for
this country to consider matters of church
policy and discipline in America. It is

ing this morning corroborated tbe state
ment that the Catholic Archbishops of the
United States have been commanded to

of the council will only pertain to tbe
ecclesiastical offices in this country, not
involving Irish affairs. Bishop Spalding
left Rome three months ago with the
above outlines of the Pontifical intentions

it would be acted upon as a command,
and only those Archbishops whose health
would not permit of the journey would be
excused.

EXILES AMONG REDSKIN’S
THE CONSOLATION OFFERED
THE CHIRICAHUAS.
The San Carlos Indians Protest Against
any of the Renegade* Being Received
on their Reservation—Secretary Teller
Expresses Himself In Sympathy with
the Request.
Washington, June 15.—The following
telegram was received by Secretary Tel
ler to-day:
San Caklos, A. TANARUS., June 14, 1883.
To H. M. Teller , Secretary of the Interior ,
Washington , D. C.:
SIR—A large number of leading Indians
who met in.couneil to-day, sent for me
and especially protested against the re
turn of the Chiricahua men and boys.
They say that trouble is- sure to follow
such a course. They want the chiefs and
head men punished and the other men
sent where they cannot return. They
do not object to the women and children
coming here. They ask me to make known
their views to you and Gen. Crook and
urge their adoption. All of the bands
unite in this request. They say that they
desire to remain at peace with their white
neighbors, but that the Chiricahuas will
return to the war path as soon as they
grow strong again, and the reservatiori
Indians will then be charged with
having aided and encouraged them.
Assuring them of my confidence in the
wisdom of the authorities who would
have to decide the matter, I promised
them to present their petition as evidence
of the justness of their position.
Wilcox, Agent.
Secretary Teller has telegraphed to
Agent Wilcox-, directing him to receive
none of the Chiricahuas except children.
The Secretary says that the bucks must
take care ol their women.
TOILERS OF THE DEEP.
How a Difficult Marine Feat is Being
Accomplished in the Schuylkill.
Philadelphia Record.
The work of repairing tbe broken main
of the Belmont Water Works, under the
Schuylkill at the east end of Columbia
bridge, will probably be completed to
day. The feat which the engineers have
accomplished is the mending of a long
gaping crack In a throe-feet diameter
cast-iron pipe, in impenetrable darkness,
twenty-five feet below the surface of the
river. Two semi-circular pieces of
iron, half an inch thick, was made to
tit over the broken tubes. The
flanges were punctured with numerous
holes, in which fitted short iron bolts with
threaded ends for nuts. These, with a
large quantity of rubber packing, com
prised the material uecessary to accom
plish the work. The feat for the marine
mechanics to accomplish was to place
these patches or sleeves around the broken
pipes, tbe rubber packing first and the
iron over it. Then the two sections were
fastened by tbe bolting of the flanges
together, with such tightness as to
make the rubber covering over the
holds—protected by the iron sleeve—
completely water ‘ tight. When it is
considered that this sleeve weighs
four tons, and the entire operation has
been accomplished in the utter darkness
of the muddy river liottom, the magnitude
of the operation becomes apparent. Tbe
divers have worked with what is known
as the “Boston rig,” and at times have
been compelled to remain below water
for four and five hours at a time. With
their bodies in a water tight rubber suit,
and their beads encased in a huge iron
and glass helmet, and heavy brass shoes
on to keep them down, only their arms
and hands have been free to accomplish
the difficult work. It is probable that a
test of the success of the job will be made
to-day.
The men who have accomplished this
work could neither see nor hear in the
long hours of bolting and hammering and
drilling which it has taken to accomplish
the work. Had this wonderful method of
repair not been undertaken it would have
been necessary to take up the entire
length of the main under the river at an
enormous cost, and new tubes put in to
replace tbe broken ones. This would
have cost almost if not quite as much as
to have constructed anew main.
A Young Editor’s Good Fortune.
Letter to Philadelphia Press.
About three years ago a young boy left
Philadelphia to seek liis fortune in the
West. He went to Colorado, and having
had some experience in newspaper work,
supported himself for awhile by writing
letters to the Chicago papers. To use the
native phrase of this country, he finally
“got stuck on mines.” He had been in the
West about a year,when he fell in with an
old fellow, who was an expert mining en
gineer. The two became last friends.
The newspaper writer knew little about
mines and less about prospecting. Then
he was rather a frail young man, ill
fltted for such a hard life. He drifted
into New Mexico, and was employed on
the Los Vegas Gazette, afterwards getting
control of it. He worked very hard, and
divided his earnings with the old miner
whom he had joined, without question.
He “grub-staked” him for all of his pros
pecting tours, and every now and then,
when he would come into civilization,
furnished him the extra money he required
for a spree and new clothes. For two long
years, in season and out of season, this
young boy stood by and helped the miner
from but of his scanty earnings.
“I met this old prospector,” said he,
“who is a thoroughly educated ntau and
a member'of the Royal College of Mining
Engineers. I had faith in his honesty and
ability, and for more than two years our
mining interests have been inseparable. I
have divided all I could earn with the old
man ever since we met, and, although it
has been a long time coming, have
never lost faith in his striking it fat some
day. I suppose I have given him $1,500 to
$2,000 in all, and would have continned to
help him as long as he wanted it. It was
mighty hard grubbing for both of us some
times, but we stuck to one another as
though everything had lteen sunshine. A
few weeks ago he struck it very rich,
and, like the honorable, honest man that
lie is, he at once transferred me one-half
interest in all his claims, seven in num
ber.”
“Was he bound to be so liberal?”
“Not at all. Everything depended upon
his sense of right. Legally he was not
bound to give me anything, but he lias
more than justified my opinion of him as
a man of honor and ability.”
“How rich are your claims?”
“The most valuable yet found about
Silver City, the richest mining region of
New Mexico. Last week I gathered up
4<is pounds of the debris from the dig
gings, took it to Denver,and had it smelted.
They gave me a cheek tor $1,600 for the
proceeds. This would make the ore yield
$6,400 per ton. I think this is only a’ fair
estimate of the value of the mines.”
“Will you hold and work them?”
“I have not yet determined what I will
do. I have just refused $750,000 for my
interest in the property. But it ts worth
and I can get a much larger sum for it. I
may sell, for I am in love with my pro
fession, and if I made a half-dozeii mil
lions I would still want to be connected
with a newspaper.”
The Ship Canal and Governor Kloxham.
Tallahassee Floridian.
It having been published that the incor
porators of the Florida ship canal had
“taken every step in the matter with the
advice and concurrence of Governor Blox
ham,” a reporter of the Floridian called
upon that official to inquire what truth
there was in the statement. The Governor
very promptly replied that the incorpora
tors had never consulted him in any of
their movements, and that he knew
nothing more of the projeot than other
citizens—and all he knew was from the
public press; that he had never been
asked for bis advice in any matter con
nected with their organization, ahd knew
nothing whatever of their plans: that
the assertion that the company acted with
his “advice and concurrence” was an en
tire mistake, without the slightest grounds
for the statement. “Indeed,” said the
Governor, “there has not been the slight
est communication between the company
and inyself upon any question, either as
to the organization, plans, objects', or any
thing else.”
In response to the inquiry if he was op
posed to the company, he said no; that he
was not opposed to either the ship or barge
canal, and hoped that both would be
built, considering them improvements of
the first magnitude: that it had been the
policy of his administration to inaugur
ate, as well as foster, every public enter
prise that attracted capital to the State,
and tended to her development; that be
was more interested now in seeing trans
portation furnished to South Florida than
he was in any other enterprise, and was
rejoiced to feel that this favored section
would soon le placed in communication
by railroads and canals with the other
portions of the State.

UNCLE SAM 8 PROMISES TO PAY.
Amounts Laid By for a Rainy Day and
by Whom.
Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
The AVashington Sunday Herald has the
following interesting gossip as to the hold
ers of United States securities:
The semi-annual payment of interest
on registered U. S. bonds, which occurs
in January and June, is now being made.
While it is very difficult to obtain exact
information as to tbe largest receivers of
interest from this class of United States
bonds, yet, like almost anything else here,
it can be had if one wants it badly enough.
This year the largest single bondholder
the Treasury Department knows is Mr.
Vanderbilt, who will receive the interest
on $37,000,000. A year ago he had $50,000,-
000, but he has disposed of $13,000,000 for
some purpose.
The next largest owner is Mrs. A. f.
Stewart, who has about $30,000,000. As
some ot hers are coupon bonds, the amount
of her holding cannot exactly be told. Ten
years ago Air. A. T. Stewart had $40,000,.
000 in bonds, tne most of them lieing sixes.
Air. Gould has $13,000,000 iu registered
bonds, and a large number of coupon
bonds, which he keeps to use as collat
erals in Wall street when he needs large
sums of money. A California millionaire,
Air. Flood, is the next largest holder. He
has $16,000,000. Then there is an estate
in Boston and three or four persons in
New York who have each $10,000,000, and
a lady in New Y’ork—unmarried, too —has
$8,000,000. The estate of Moses Taylor, in
New Y ork, has $5,000,000, aud D. O.Alills,
AVhitelaw Reid’s fatlier-in-law, $4,000,000.
On the other side ol the water American
securities are very popular, and are pre
ferred to those of other nations, because
the rate of interest is higher than that
paid by any other great power. The
house of the Rothschilds holds nearly one
quarter of America’s whole bonded debt,
as, including all the bankers of that
name, they have $400,000,000. Baron Leo
pold and Sir Nathan Meyer De Rothschild
each owns $30,000,000, arid the head of the
A’ienna house has $25,000,000 iu his own
right. Lady Hannah De Rothschild, who
married the Earl of Roseberry a year or
two ago, brought to her really impover
ished husband $20,000,000 in American
four and a lialfs. •
PRESIDENTIAL COMPETITORS.
How nendrick* and McDonald Ignored
Each Other at a Banquet.
Indianapolis Special, 11th.
An incident which may have some po
litical significance, inasmuch as it pretty
conclusively proves that ex-Senator Alc-
Douald and Thomas A. Hendricks are
personally as well as politically at swords’
points, occurred this evening at a ban
quet tendered the Macon Volunteers, a
Georgia military organization. The ban
quet took place at the Bates House and
was attended bv Governor Porter, Air.
Hendricks, Mr. McDonald and a number
of other Indiana notables ffnd politicians
of different complexions. AVken the ban
quent hall was thrown open and the
guests assembled, the master of cer
emonies, either designedly or acci
dentally, conducted the two Democratic
leaders to adjoining seats near
the head of the banqueting board. It was
evident from the first that the situation
was a very delicate one, but an attempt to
rectify matters by changing their seats
would have only added to the embarrass
ment of each, and they were compelled to
sit side by side for two mortal hours, dur
ing which time they occupied themselves
in conversing very glibly with the gentle
men next to them and across the table,
neither, however, addressing a word to
the other or appearing to notice his pres
ence. The affair has caused no little talk
among the faithful, by whom it is regard
ed as conclusive evidence that the recent
ly published interview with Air. Hend
ricks, in which he expressed so keen an
appreciation of Air. Tilden’s worth and a
desire to see the old ticket of 1876 renomi
nated, has been resented by Air. AlcDonald
to the extent of his refusal to recognize
his former colleague. Certain it is that
the split between them is regarded as be
yond hope of healing.
REVENUE REFORM.
Opposition to Organizing the House in
Pennsylvania’s Interest.
Washington Special, 13th.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce furnished
the following facts'to his paper: “The
Democratic members of the next House of
Representatives are even at this season
coming here from time to time to attend
the department business for their consti
tuents. From the people of their district,
and from conferences with a con
siderable number of their colleagues,
they are able to throw some light
upon the nature of the contest
over the Speakership. The private
conversation of Representatives
from the AVest and South indicates un
mistakably a growing sentiment in favor
of a revenue tariff organization of the
next House. A Democratic Congressman
from Indiana said to your correspondent
the other day: ‘1 have recently talked
with a great many intelligent
men in private life, as well as
Democratic politicians, and I do not Hesi
tate to affirm it as a fact that there is an
increasing demand that the blighting in
fluence of Pennsylvania protectionism
must not be permitted to dominate the
next House of Represensatives.’ Nearly
all recent information from the AVest and
Northwest confirms the above declara
tion.”
AN EX-MILLIONAIRE’S SUICIDE.
Arrested for Petty Thefts He Takes His
Own Life.
Boston Special , 12th.
AVm. A. Putney, who was at one time
proprietor of one of the largest dry goods
houses in Chicago, and was rated among
the millionaires of that city, recently be
came involved and without money re
turned East and obtained a position as
salesman in the store of Shepard, Nor
well & Cos. Of late the firm has been
missing considerable quantities ot valua
ble goods. Detectives traced tbe thefts to
Putney, and yesterday afternoon lie was
arrested, at his cottage at Nantasket.
The officers with their prisoner took the
steamer for Boston, and, upon Putney’s
solicitation, did not put irons on him.
Putney desired to avoid people he might
know on the boat, and he was allowed to
move about. Suddenly, while cha’tting
with the officers he stepped upon a seat
alongside the rail and plunged overboard.
He was taken.£om the water by a boat’s
crew and everything was done to resusci
tate him, but he died about ten minutes
later. He was 52 years old. A large
amount of the stolen property was found
at his residences in Boston anil Nantasket.
Rockets Seen One Hundred Miles.
Kingston Freemen.
Mr. Homer Halliston, of Olive Bridge,
N. V., and Rev. AV. H. Peters, pastor of
the Alethodist Episcopal Church of that
place, went to the top of High Point, one
of the most prominent of the Catskill
peaks, and 4,400 feet above tide water,
last Thursday evening, to ascertain if the
fireworks on the Brooklyn bridge could be
seen from that point. As soon as they
reached the summit they got the correct
bearings, and then waited for the dark
ness. They were rewarded by seeing a
number of rockets, dim but quite distinct.
Air. Halliston says that in the dry atmos
phere of Colorado Pike’s Peak can be
seen from First View, 150 miles off, but
this is the first time he has felt sure of
seeing anything one hundred miles dis
tant in New Y'ork State.

Col. Thornton’s Departure—Other
Notes of Interest.
Atlanta, June 14.—Following tbe ter
rible tragedy on the Boulevard, which
resulted in the death of Airs. Dr. Ridley,
conies a similar fearful accident to
private Sims, of the Governor’s Horse
Guards. Like Airs. Ridley, his severest
injuries are about tbe head, and he is now
passing through the same experience that
she had, and I think with the same pros
pect of a speedy release from all earthly
suffering. It is a sad case, as Mr. Sims
recently came here from the West, and
established, with his partners, a tine
business on Peachtree street, and had
become quite popular with all.
Gov. McDaniel has made a most excel
lent appointment of Commissioner to tbe
great International Fish Exposition, in
London, and to the International Indus
trial Exposition, at Amsterdam. John M.
Graham, Esq., is a young gentleman ol
unblemished character, good habits and
thorough culture, and, although an Irish
man, hxs sweet smile will commend him
to the English, while his refined Irish
brogue will make him all tbe more wel
come to the Dutch. Both in his public
and private relations he will represent
Georgia in a most creditable manner, as
he combines the lawyer, the journalist
and the gentleman in graceful harmony.
Commissioner Graham sails from New
York on July 3, which will enable him to
escape the din and smoke of a fourth of
J illy celebration in a big city. A thou
sand warm personal friends in Augusta
and Atlanta will follow him over the
ocean with earnest prayers for his safe
return.

Major Henry It. Shorter, of Eufaula,
Ala., is here in attendance upon the fa
mous Shorter will case, which Judge John
h. Stewart, ol the Flint Circuit, is hear
ing on application for new trial. A large
amount of property is involved, and it is
not improbable that the contest may be
carried from court to court for several
years to come. Judge George Ilillyer and
and Judge J. W. H. Underwood are also
in attendance. In discussing the low sal
aries of Judges, to which I referred in a
recent letter, Judge Underwood, with the
assent of Judge Stewart, said it was hard
to get oft' the bench after you have dis
covered that you couldn’t live well on the
salary. Prominent citizens come to you
and beg of you not to resign, but to hold on
and protect their sons and young men gen
erally by a firm administration of the law.
There is, I know, much truth in this state
ment.
Although our “Chicago Beef Market,”
that opened in great style a few weeks
ago, has vanished, we get a slice of Chicago
beef occasionally. This keeps the Peach
tree dudes in good humor.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
former herdic craze fizzled out in its in
fancy, another rash attempt is to be made
to introduce this vehicle into Atlanta so
ciety.
There were thirty-seven burials in Oak
land Cemetery last week, which Is not a
large number for a sickly season in a city
oi 40,000 inhabitants. We have had more
fatal sickness this spring than usual,
which is also true of all parts of the
State.
Atlanta is the headquarters of Bishop H
W. Warren, of the Northern Methodist
Church, who succeeded the late Bishop
Haven. A son-in-law of the latter, Prof.
W. F. Hirkield, is to fill the chair of
Theology at Clark University, one of At
lanta’s colored colleges.
1 telegraphed that Governor McDaniel
declined the use of Representatives’ Hall
to the colored Odd Fellows for their an
nual convention this year, although they
had been in the habit of meeting there for
the past six years. The colored people
should understand that this was not an
exceptional refusal. The Governor has
declined to allow any organization what
ever, white or colored, to use the capitol for
public gatherings. Democratic and Re
publican State Conventions are the only
meetings that are recognized as having
the right to use the capitol. Governor
McDaniel simply desires to protect the
building from misuse and abuse, and he
declined to allow the Fruit Growers
and the Knights of Pythias to use the
bulding before he refused the colored Odd
Fellows. He has since declined to grant
the same privilege to the Georgia Dental
Association and the Southern Dental As
sociation, which will meet* in the United
States Court room across the street.
Governor McDaniel is right in this new
departure, and the taxpayers will heartily
sustain him in it.
No Commissioners to the Louisville,
Ky., or Boston, Alass., Exposition have
yet been appointed by Governor McDan
iel. Among the last acts of Governor
Boynton was the appointment of Alark A.
Harden as Commissioner to Boston, and
Sam AV. Small as Commissioner to Louis
ville.

above the prostrate form of that now dead
and defunct paper, with its proprietor ex
iled to Chicago, and boldly cries out:
“Well, who got the worst of this fight,
anyway? Time.” But there is no re
sponse.
The term of Judge Richard H. Clark, of
the City Court of Atlanta, is about to ex
pire, and several talented young lawvers
are pressing their claims upon the atten
tion of Governor AlcDaniel. Judge Clark
is not a young and vigorous man physi
cally, but he has brought to the discharge
of his official duties the highest literary
culture, ripe experience in his profession,
and a thorough knowledge of the law.
Should he fail ol a reappointment, it is
thought that Col. AV. 1. Heyward stands
the best chance to be his successor. This
gentleman is the author of a law book, is
Professor of Law in Aloore’s Commercial
College, and has had considerable prac
tice in our courts. Just now the City
Court and the Superior Court are rather
mixed iu regard to the proper disposition
of gamblers, the former accepting fines
and the latter claiming that imprisonment
ought also to be inflicted upon the offend
ers. This may have some bearing in the
future eomjiosition of the City Court, for
which the Governor is to appoint anew
Judge and Solicitor.
The death of the venerable mother of
Rev. A. G. Haygood, D. D., last night, re
moves from Atlanta’s circles a central
figure, one that for years and years past
has been honored and beloved wherever
known. She came here with her pious
husband, Green B. Haygood, Esq., when
there was no city to welcome them, and
both gave their earnest hearts and tireless
hands to the work of building up the re
ligious, moral and intellectual interests ot
the town. In the records of Heaven alone
can be found a true history of their uni
ted and unselfish labors for the glory of
God and the good of their fellow men.
Years ago her loved companion “fell in
sleep” by the wayside, and now, after
long and patient waiting, full of useful
labor and unshaken faith, she has gone to
join him in the better land. They will
need no towering monument to record
their virtues or to keep alive their mem
ory. In noble sons and daughters, bright
examnles of maternal influence and pa
ternal training, they will live in hearts
that shall outlast the rugged gran
ite, and their children’s . children
will long Dear the impress of their
holy lives and useful labors. Such
grand old mothers are getting to be few
in number, and our peculiar modern
civilization warns us that we shall not
look upon their like again. Airs. Hay
good had kept unimpaired to the last, the
stern and purer elements of Christian
character that she imbibed in the days of
Asbury. of Capers, of Andrews, and other
old Methodist worthies. Chatham.
Mahone Dislikes Sentimentalism.
Washington Special.
Air. Alahone is still at the capital. He
is said to be uneasy respecting the atti
tude of the administration. There have
been a number of conferences lately at
the Senator’s private quarters here, and
there have been intimations that Mahone
and his adjutants do not feel confident
that they are to have the support of the
administration in the same degree that
they have had before. Mahone’s follow
ers openly denounce Secretary Chan
dler and Postmaster General Gresham
for having paid any attention whatever
to the charge of Dezendorl with respect to
tne administration of the post office and
the navy yard at Norfolk. They call it
an exhibition of too much sentimentalism
in politics. There are the best of reasons
for stating that, whatever the opinions of
Air. Alahone. the administration will not
abandon the present investigation.
Air. AI. Letherbury, an old Republican,
but anti-Mahone, Postmaster at Onan
coek, Accomack county, Va., has been
removed by Mahone’s orders. Air. Leth
erbury has held the office eighteen years,
having been appointed by President Lin
coln.
SOMETHING ABOUT TEA.
A Floridian Correspondent Writes
About the Fragrant Plant.
Live Oak. June 12.— The mention in a
late issue of your journal that the United
States chemist had condemned a large
quantity of tea which some Boston house
had fraudulently adulterated, invited re
newed attention to this subject. Some
practical Congressmen a good many years
ago inaugurated the attempt to raise tea
in the United States, by the aid of the
government. Experiment has proved
that the shrubs will flourish as high up as
North Carolina. The plants strike root
deep into the ground, and when once fair
ly growing, are hardy in every respect,
except a little tenderness as to the sum
mer’s sun, which a loose scaffolding of old
boards will protect. An intelligent culti
vator in North Carolina found six bushes
to supply his family amply with tea.
Bishop Marvin, when visiting China,
Japan and India, noted the preparation of
teas for exportation, and roundly assert
ed that the severe roasting and the color
ing of some kinds so greatly impaired
them that the natives would not use them,
lie says that teas which have not. been
thus manipulated make a delicious drink.
Tea must bo good for health when we re
flect on the toughness, as laborers, of peo
ple who raise it and have used it freely in
perfection, the Chinese, Japanese and
Hindoos.
lhe eminent British scientist,Professor
Johnson, by analysis, found tea and
coffee to be very similar in their chemical
constituents. There is only one material
difference—tea is cooling and coffee is
heating. This would make tea the appro
priate table beverage for summer and the
evening meal. If the Southern jieople
would raise their tea, and use it half the
time, instead of coffee, thev would save
several millions of dollars annually,
while health would be promoted, and
they would enjoy a better article than
the imported. In the course of time the
plants yield seed, so that further propa
gation may be carried on through them.
Dr. Loring, the Commissioner of Agri
culture, lias not abandoned the fostering
of tea culture, but is keeping up the
United States tea farm at Summerville,
S. C., whence several hundred plants
were lately received by your correspon
dent, and were distributed at Marion,
Live Oak, Padlock and Branford. Doubt
less many applicants will be supplied
from.these next spring. Tea culture in
the Eolith is an important domestic
economy.
AVe lately had the pleasure of a visit
from a gentleman resident in the far
Northwest, who wished to get acquainted
and to authorize the selection of a Florida
home by next fall—Mr. H. Legler. He is
a native of Switzerland, and he spent
many years in Sicily before removal to
America. He became fond of a semi
tropical climate, and noted the fruit cul
ture and gardening there. Unlike so very
many Europeans his first choice was tbe
South. He settled in Augusta, Ga.,
whence the burning of his establish
ment caused him reluctantly to move.
He still clung to the South, be
came a citizen of Memphis several years,
until tbe fearful epidemic drove him
thence. He then settled in AVisconsin,
and has found that, however lovely in
some resix:ctß, the region among the head
waters of the great river, he cannot get
over his acquired fondness for semi-tropi
cal horticulture and a seaside home. A
lasting impression was made on him by
the land where the sun laughs—as he
terms it—aud where, as he might have
added, Horace lived on a farm and wrote
immortal stanzas, and put up his wine;
and Cicero and Virgil extolled the happi
ness of country life.
Air. L. has a brother still living in Sici
ly, by whose co-operation he feels as
sured that he could gradually procure
Italian laborers, trained to cultivate, not
only oranges and lemons, but olives, figs
and grapes, according to the methods of
centuries.
Italians could hardly fail to take up
promptly with any bill country in
Florida and the border counties of Geor
gia and Alabama. They should be order
ed in groups of several families, to be do
mesticated conveniently near each other,
so as to be able to meet occasionally and
have a good old country talk. Any in
quiries in this regard will be carefully
filed and delivered to Mr. L.
Live Oak is improving as a town—new
and good hotels; her journalism expand
ing; her springs, the Suwanee hath anew
hotel with over 1,200 feet of verandas
and luxurious baths. The spring has
been rather favorable for crops in
Suwanee county, except rather dry at
this time. G. c. Player.
MR. THURMAN’S DAUGHTER.
Mrs. McCormick’s Narrow Escape from
Death from Being Overdosed.
Jamaica (I. I.) Special, 12th.
The wile of ex-Governor R. C. McCor
mick, of Arizona, and daughter of ex-
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, narrowly
escaped death from an overdose of a
patent medicine on Saturday night at her
home in Jamaica, L. I. She was suffering
from a nervous complaint to which she
has been subject for a long time, and as
the remedies which the fainily physician,
l)r. C. 11. Barker, prescribed failed to
afford relief, she sent to George L. Peck’s
pharmacy in the village for a bot
tle of bromidia, a patent remedy
prepared in St. Louis. Her father
sometimes used the medicine for the com
plaint. Airs. McCormick, a reporter was
informed this evening, took sixteen doses
ot the concoction privately in her room
when she should have takeri but one. She
was made insensible by the drug, and
was discovered in her chamber soon after
wt.rd in an almost dying condition. Death
would surely have bee* the result, it is
said, had her ponditiou not been discover
ed when it was. Dr. Barker was sum
moned and antidotes were administered.
She recovered, but is still weak. Her
family were unable to say how she
came to take so great a dose. Dr. Barker
refused to give any information about the
case.
A GRAIN OF COFFEE
Causes t4ic Distressing Death of a Little
Child.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Yesterday about noon, as the wife of
Air. AVm. Shannon, of 92 Hopkins street,
was grinding coffee for dinner, her little
one-and-a-half-year-old daughter playfully
picked up a grain of the stuff and placed
it in her mouth. By some way she swal
lowed the coffee and choked, and her
mother at once summoned a physician.
Her condition was found to be serious,
and three other doctors were called. It
was found that the grain, instead of going
down the proper channel to the stomach,
had entered the Windpipe and found
lodgement. It could not be reached by
the physician’s fingers or instruments; in
fact, they were unable to locate it. After
suffering for an hour, and Becoming un
conscious, the little sufferer’s father ar
rived, and he was told that the only hope
was the operation of tracheotomy, which
was to make an incision in the outside of
the throat, in order to reach the coffee.
Air. Shannon consented to tnis, and the
knife was used, but the child passed away
before tbe operation was finished. The
grain was not found. The general opinion
of the physicians is that it got below the
larynx and lodged at the bifurcation ot
the trachea, or in the bronchial tube. The
mother and father are almost distracted
over the loss of their only child.
Starvation in Ireland.
A revolting story of want comes from
the parish of Curry, Ireland, when all the
tenants upon the Knox estate were re
cently evicted. A relief committee hav
ing been sent there, they report in detail
the condition of the sufferers. One fam
ily, including seven children, were found
living in an open shed unfit even for cat
tle, and have no means of suDport what
ever. Another family of twelve dwelt for
three nights after eviction under a miser
able roof which they made out of sticks
and straw. They then went to the
house of a friend, who did not
let them remain long for fear of
the bailiff. A man, wife and
five children were found grouped
round a small fire in a sand-pit without
any protection at all. One family of six
were living in a barn, the mother sick and
keeping warm over a fire beside aditch in
the open air. In one case the husband
had gone to England, while a nine-years
old child had managed to build a hut for
his mother and little brothers and sisters.
In many cases rude sheds were construct
ed, but often whole families with little
children were compelled to live beside a
fire in a ditch or embankment with no
possible protection from the weather,often
only partially clothed, presenting a re
volting and heart-rending sight.

Conway, S. C., June 15.—The execu
tion of Sol. Hewitt ami XVm. Hardee took
place here to-day. There was a large
crowd present, but the lawful number on
ly were permitted to see the execution.
Good order prevailed throughout. Both
of the criminals slept well last uight.
Hewitt ate but little at breakfast, while
Hardee refused everything but
a few crackers. Hewitt de
nied all knowledge of the
crime for w hich he w'as to be executed
and also of the cutting of Ben McMillan’
their fellow prisoner, at the time of their
recent escape from jail. At 10:20 o’clock
the cord holding the trigger was loosened
and Hewitt died without a struggle in
fifteen minutes. Win. liardee was brought
upon the gallows at It o’clock. He denied
all knowledge of the crime for which he
was oxeeuted and of the cutting of Mc-
Millan. lie made a long rambling
speech and asked for a drink of water
and for a chew of tobacco and time to
chew it. He talked all the time, begging
that when he was buried the black cap
might le taken oil, and also that his hands
and feet might l>e untied. As the trap
fell he exclaimed, “O Lord! have mercy.”
He died hard and struggled several min
utes. Life was extinct in ten minutes.
A POWERFUL REV IVER.
Butler PartlsiiK a Hying Burglar, who
Recovers and Resumes Business.
y&9t York Tribune.
Governor Butler imparts liveliness to
everything he touches. There has never
been a bad smell of any kind in this coun
try that he has not sooner or later put his
finger into, and the invariable effect of his
stirring has been to make the smell more
pronounced. He evidently became Gover
nor of Massachusetts chiefly for the pur
pose of developing all the State’s latent bad
smells to their full capacity, and it must
be said'that he has had considerable suc
cess, though the ultimate result is likely
to damage him much more than the
State. One of the first “abuses” he stirred
up after taking oftice was the State Prison,
lie removed the Warden, chiefly because
of complaints made against him by the
convicts, whose principal leader and
spokesman was Convict Dolan, It will
be remem tiered that while the movement
for the removal of the Warden was in
progress the convicts put forth a circular
requesting quiet iu the prison because the
“Governor is going to appoint a good man
as Warden, and we shall all co-operate
w ith him.” They and the Governor did
“co-operate” sufficiently to get rid of the
Warden, and subsequently the Governor
pardoned Dolan on the ground that he
was a “dying man” and lie wished to let
him die comfortably in the hospital.
Dolan did not care to die comfortably
lie ran aw ay from the hospital the day
after his arrival there, and took up his
residence in the lthoae Island town of
Woonsocket. He at once began to show
uncommon energy fora “dying man.” No
less than twelve burglaries and highw r ay
assaults occurred in the town within two
months after his appearance there, and
when Tuesday last he was caught in the
act of breaking into a store at night, he
w as at once suspected of being the leader
of all of them. He was arraigned on
five counts, three for breaking and enter
ing storesj one tor violent assault on a
citizen with a slungshot, and one for
burglary and larceny. All of which
shows what a revivifying effect a Butler
pardon may have upon a “dying man”
who has also been a “co-operator with the
Governor.” Of course it was the pardon
which revived Dolan, for to take any
other view of his subsequent activity
would he to admit that the Governor had
been imposed upon, and everybody knows
that the Governor is the sharjicst man in
America and is never tooled by anybody.
It would he in accordance with his pre
vious conduct for the Governor to go over
into Rhode Island and lurther “co-oper
ate” with Dolan by appearing as his coun
sel.
A TERRIBLE SNAKE.
More Deadly than the Cobra or the
Korait.
A'etc York Sun.
Anew snake, called the echis earinata,
which is the first specimen of its race seen
in England, and of which we have no
specimen here, is attracting crowds to the
Regent's I’ark, London, and dividing sen
sation with Oscar Wilde in his new
sheared and common sense form. It is
about a foot and a half long, and the color
is dingy gray. It is the deadliest of
created things, for it carries in its tiny
head the secret of destroying life with
the sudden rapidity of lightning and the
concentrated agony of all poisons.
This king of the asps is more dangerous
than the cobra or the korait, for it does
not turn and run like the one, or flash
into cold concealment like the other, but
with fearless pluck gives tight, aud pitches
its eighteen inches of length against any
comer. A stroke ot a stick will break
it in two, or a stone will smash it, but
such is its venomous malignity that it
will challenge attack by every device in
its power, staking its "own l’ife on the
mere chance of its adversary coming
within the little circle of its reach. At
most the radius ol that circle is twelve
inches, but within it at any point lies
certain death, and in the bare hope of
hand or foot trespassing within its reach,
the echis throws its body into a figure-of
eight coil, and, attracting attention by
rubbing its loops together, which, from
the roughness of the scales (hence the
epithet earinata), makes a rustling
sound, erects its head in the centre and
awaits attack. No one having once
encountered this terrible little crea
ture can forget its truculent aspect
when aroused; its eagerly aggres
sive air; its restless coils, which, in
constant motion one over another,
and rustling ominously all the time, bring
it nearer and nearer to the object of its
fury: its eye, malignant even beyond those
of other vipers; and then the inconceiva
ble rapidity of its strokes. The echis does
not wait to strikajjntil it is within strik
ing distance, but Vents its malice in re
peatedly darting at nothing, hoping to
aggravate its antagonist into coming to
closer quarters, or more probably as a
mere expression of its own incontrollable
viciousness.
