His last scene of operation was Heale, Alabama, where he succeeded in getting a good number from the citizens of that place and vioinity. He (the thief) wrh carried yesterday, by Mr. O. H. Dud ley, on the Mobile and Girard train, back to Heale, whore he will have to give an account. It seems that they will never be convinced of the faot that a thief oannot hide in this city. Our officers are ever on tho watch for them. James Donaldson, said to be a man of high repute” as a thief, was captured yesterday by Bailiff Jones in Brownerville, Ala. He (Jones) turned him over to Bailiff Ht. Clair, of this Htate, who placed him in safe keeping until he may have a trial to-day. Donaldson was arrested on the charge of having stolen a horse in 1875 from a Mr. F. Ely while he (Ely) was at the residence of James Russell, E9q., of Robo Hill. The horse was hitohed on the premises of the latter gentleman. This prisoner iH G4 years old, and was sentenced to the penitentiary, we were informed, during the war for passing counterfeit money, but was pardoned by Governor Brown that he might fight for his country, and not to steal from it. About two weeks ago, Jim King, ooU ored, stole a watch from Mr. J. H. Bram- hull, of this city, and was arrested yester day by Policeman Bedbnry. The negro confessed his crime and went with the officer to got the watch. He was looked up last night to await his trial. RIVER NEWS.

Yesterday afternoon,died at his residence in ibis oity, D. J. Hummers, aged thirty- seven years. He was conductor on tho Mobile and Girard Railroad, and last No vember, while officiating on that line, bo fell across a pile of lumber and injured himself quite seriously—in faot, fatally, llo soon rallied, apparently, from this fall and went on duty, but was forced to give up not long since and remain at home, whero he died of the sad misadventure.

Well we remember how in those times, in all our little faolts and troubles, we were drawn irresistibly toward our mothers.

THE BAD FATE OF THE DAUGHTER OF AN EX-QOVIBNOB OF FLORIDA—FROM HONOR, AFFLUENCE AND EASE TO SHAME, DEGRADATION, DISGRACE AND DEATH IN A POOR HOUSE. New York Dispatch 1 A week ago there died in the alms house at Newport, Kentucky, opposite Cincin nati, a woman whose social record on the Western continent is a remarkable one. Her story is well known to many. A. biref Resume ot it, however, will be of interest to the readers of the Dispatch, Helen Maude Mosely was the only child of a late ex-Governor of Florida. Educated in a French convent, reared in what i6 termed the “lap of luxury,” she was two years before the civil war, the belle of the Southern watering places and a leader in the society to which her father’s wealth and socail standing gave her the entree. Iu 1859 she married a prominent physi cian in Savannah, Georgia. In 18C0 she was attended at childbirth by another well known member of the Esoulapian guild of that city. The acquaintance thus began ripened into illioit intim^oy, and the discovery of the liason resulted ii^he divorce and abandonment of the young wife by her husband. Her lover soon tired of her, and the outbreak of the war found her penniless and friendless in Savannah. She then made the acquaint ance of a man who afterward became a Commissary' General and a large contractor in the servioe of the Confederacy, and lived with him until the entry of the Union troops into Savannah, when he fled with Bragg’s army. On the morning after the occu pation of the oity by the Federal army, a yoang officer of an Ohio regiment, who had been posting guards in tbe street, saw her at her garden gate, and asked her for a glass of water. Learning that she was alone, he posted a guard over her house, and by various other attentions soon came to occupy the place of the ab sent contractor. Her house, during this period, was a favorite resort of many Union officers, bnt she is said to have been unalterably faithful to the one. In conversation with a Dispatch reporter, one of the then habitues ot the house de scribes “Nelly Walsh,” as she called her self, as a lady in every sense, of social and intellectual development. Previous the war she bad written for various papers —notably the New York Ledger—over the name of “Flora de Forest.” She was a womau of a deeply devotional nature, and, to use the informant’s own words, “daank and ate opium to kill her mem ory.” When the regiment of her lover left Savannah, Nellie Walsh applied to one of the Generals in charge—a soldier whose name stands among the first in the records of the rebellion—for a continu ance of the protection. The General did more. He assumed that doty himself, and when be took charge of a department, one of his adjutants escorted the fair rebel in hiB train. She lived with him for several years, and when he was ap pointed to a mission abroad he took her with him. His efforts to eeoure her a social standing there, and, after his return, in this country, caused great scandal and a fluttering in high society. Ho clung to her faithfully, however, and it was only when the opium habit gained a ruinous aRoendenoy over her that he left her, even then giving her a consid erable sum of money. Off this and the products of her pen she lived for a couple of years more, writing for several of the local serial papers; bnt her besetting sin brought her down step by step until her brain refused its office, and she disap peared. How she lived from that time until, half crazed and wholly broken down and hopeless, she obtained admission to the Now York poor house, will never be known. Her identity was established from her incoherent ravings and a few remnants of letters in her pockets. For weeks before she died she was insane. Every night and morning, instinctively, as it were, she repeated the prayers learned in her happy youth in her French School, and her last words were a suppli cation to her Creator. In her maddened moments the recital of a verse of poetry would calm her. She asked continually for her child—a little girl long since dead (he very child in giving birth to whom she had met her seducer. No word ever escaped her as to her own life since 1875. The physician’s report serves as a preg nant comment on the frightful habit to whiob she was a slave. For two weeks previous to her death she consumed two ounces of laudanum a day. A FI If GIN IA CATASTROPHE. A BALLOON EXPLODED THREE HUNDRED FEET IN THE AIR, KILLING THE AERONAUT. Ablngton (Va.) Standard, 13th Inst.] Glade Springs, in this county, was, on Monday, thronged with sovereigns from all parts of the surrounding country to witness the ascension, as advertised for that plaoe on that day. According to an nouncement, the traveling show of Prof. H. Hoffman made its appearance, and at once prepared for exhibition. The per* formance was usually accompanied by a balloon ascension. Their large iron fur nace was put to work, aud the balloon hoisted over it by means of two poles on either side, forty feet high. The balloon was inflated by means of wood and kero sene oil, with a small quantity of gaso- lino added. When the balloon was filled, as usual, Mr. Haidur, the aeronaut, was informed, but he said, “I want more gas this time.” Two pints more of oil was put in, and, when exhausted, the damper to the furnace was shut down. Then lie jumped to his position, and like an arrow the great air ship shot upward, carrying its human weight dangling at its end. It had ascended some three hundred feet, aud while the actor was performing on a horizontal bar, hanging by his feet, with his head down, waving a handkerchief to the trembling, nervous audience below, the patched and dilapidated canvass split from bottom to top with a report that was heard for miles away. The effect was terrible. No sooner had the gas escaped than the balloon col lapsed and came shooting down as swiftly as itjhad darted up. The teronaut saw his situation, and quick as lightning tnrned himself up and regained his band hold, and commenced a maneuvre to dodge a telegraph wire and post toward which he was falling. This he snooeeded in doing, striking the gronnd with terrible foroe, which bonneed him up a somersault, to be caught and pressed down by the bal loon. All this was the work of a moment. The crowd was literally paralyzed, women sickened and fainting, and men unable in their horror to move. The companions of the unfortunate man stood riveted to the ground, and not until some citizens undertook to move the canvass, did they stir. The man was found to be alive and perfeotly conscious, but dreadfully bruised and mangled. He went through it all calm aud cool, and described his feelings, as depending he saw and felt death star- iug hitn the face. He was taken to the hotel, where both Mr. and Mrs. Thomp son did all their power to relieve the suf fering man. With all the aid, nothing could be accomplished, and at 11:30 o’clock p m. be paid the penalty of death for his feArfnl recklessness. His name is Frank Hainur, from Warren, Ohio. His father, we learn, has been for years a book-keeper for Packard A Barnum, hardware merchants at that plaoe. WADE HAMPTON CALLED OUT BY AN ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD AT LOUISVILLE—HIS SPEECH. Louisville, Sept. 15.—Governor Wade Hampton arrived this morning from Chi cago. His coming to day was rather un expected, and his arrival in the oity did not beoome known until he had almost reaohed the hotel. A great crowd sur rounded him, and with mnch enthusiasm oalled for a speech. In response, Gov. Hampton said: My friends: I need not sRy how grati fied I am at this unexpected and sponta neous welcome whioh you have extended to me. It is a welcome, though, that I expected from Kentucky and Kentuok* ians. [Applause] I have known them of old. I have felt through all these days of trouble and peril whioh have passed over the South, and particularly over my own State, that if Jhere was anywhere outside of that State that the people were in sympathy, that it would be among the people of this grand old State of yours. I have oome here, my friends, not to speak, but to listen. I come that I may, as a Southern man, show my respect, not only for your authorites of Louisville, but for the Presi* dent of the United State. I make it a point never to allude to politics. I am not here to speak of politics, but when we find a man doing his duty, whether he be Republican or Democrat, I, for one, am willing to say well done [applause], and if a great many of our friends have said that, the President has only done his duty. But when we look baok to the last 12 or 15 years, wemay perhaps see that he is the first President who has done his duty, and as such while he performs his oonstitu tional duty »it is our duty to say to him that we will sustain him and that wo will sustain his policy, whether he be Democrat or Re publican. My friends, you see that 1 have worn out my voioe among those suckers of Illinois. [Laughter.j I had to speak to such immense crowds there that it has left me so hoarse that I can hardly make myself heard now; but befoje I close in thanking you, I take great pleasure in saying that up in Illi nois, the men up there, Republicans though they were, gave me for the sake of South Carolina, a cordial and hearty welcome, I thank you for the un expected and grateful honor. Gov. Hampton was serenaded and escorted to the Industrial Exposition to night. He again addressed the people and expressed his admiration for the dis plays in the Exposition. associates, so that all could share the honor; but the thought of his many years of labor without any “luck,” convinced him that it would be foolish to throw away his first really good chance. One hardly knows what to admire most, Hall’s persistent and successful struggle with his untrained mind, or hia wife’s brave and womanly help and inspiration.

Burns, tbe conrteons Secretary of Hood's Texas Brigade Association, has placed in our hands tbe following letter which it will bo hard for any old soldier to read without feeling the moisture run to his eyes. It is a communication from Mrs. Eliza both B. Custer acknowledging the receipt of resolutions passed by Hood’s Texas Brigade Association to the memory of her husband, Gen. G. A. Custer, who fell fighting at the head of his troops in a battle with tho Sioux Indians last Jaly a year ago. The Brigade Association some time afterward held its annual reunion at Byron, and passed resolutions of respect and honor for the memory of the gallant dead. Mrs. Custer, overwhelmed by the calam ity, lias been unable to write until now. Here is her beautiful letter : Mr. Burns—Dear sir: I regret very mnch that so long a lime has passed with’ out my acknoledgement and thanks for the beautiful resolutions offered by tbe survivors of “Gen.Hood’s Texas brigade.” I could Lave asked friends to answer your letter for me during my illness but I felt anxious to write for myself and assure tho Confederate soldiers who so touohingly remembered my husband in words of praise, that I most sincerely appreciate their kind jess. I am glad to tell you how muoh admira tion Gen. Caster felt for the courage and endurance of the Southern army. It seems to prove the higer and better nature of men when soldiers can admire the gallantry and heroism of each other, even when differing in sentiment and be lief. We had the privilege of becoming per sonally acquainted with Gen. Hood in 1865, and it seems to me a matter of con* gatnlation when men can serve nnder suoh a soldier and gentleman. Very respectfully yours, Elizabeth B. Custer. 122 Madison avenue, New York City, Aug. 28. ECCENTRICITIES. “ 'tib a mad world, my masters J”—SOME men’s manias. New York Tribune.] A French gentleman has recently paid $15,000 for a collection of postage stamps. Another collection, containing 17,000 va rieties, has been sold in London for $4,- 000, and one of the Middlesex magistrates has refused an offer of $4,500 for his post age stamps. \ demented Englishman presented himself, a fortnight ago, at the gates of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and in a state of uncontrollable excitement, shouted to the police officers that the Russian fleet was coming up the Thames, and not moment was to be loBt. The officers as sured him that the newly constructed bat teries on the river were very strong, and that no danger was apprehended from the enemy. The poor gentleman was an army officer who had been acting as private secretary to a member of Parliament Pop Milo, a relative of Prinoe Nikita, could not resist a morbid impulse to ourse the Turks. He left the Montenegrin camp,"rode down the hill, armed only with a sword, challenged the garrison of Nicsios to send out a champion whom he could meet in single combat, exposed his breast to show that ho wore no armor, and swore at them up and down, right and left, forever and five minutes. While he was cursing his enemies, a bullet entered his heart. The Turks washed his face, combed his hair, cut off his head, and sent it to the Montenegrin camp with the compliments of the season. Frol'. Hull’* Lack. New York Tribune.] Prof. As ph Hall, the disooverer of the moons of Mars, began life, it is said, as a oarpenter, and with a meagre education. He married a school mistres, and it was this wise lady who induced him to study higher mathematics, and who became his instructor. He rapidly surpassed his gentle teacher, and at twenty-five became an assistant in the Harvard Observatory. Shortly after the astronomical activity of the Naval Observatory at Washington was revived, in 1861, a number of professors of the Navy wore appointed, and Hall was given a position as assistant.
