That is Goldsmith's Sentence—The Last Day of the Great, Trial—An Effort to Mitigate the Penalty Defeated —The Vote of Con damnation Taken Amid the Falling Shadows of the Night. It is doubtful if the present generation of Georgians ever looked upon a more im pressive scene than was exhibited in the Senate Chamber on yesterday. The tedium of the roll call on the articles af impeachment had passed and the Senate had met for the purpose of passing sentence on the Comptroller-General of Georgia. The galleries were packed, and even the lobbies of the Senate, usually sacred from the in trusion of the crowd, under the watckfulleye and unpersuadable sternness of Lem Allred, were so filled that there was barely standing room. The Senators were in their seats, the craped and laurelled desk of the dead Clements being one of the three vaoent ones. Chief Justice Warner sat in the President's chair, his white expressive face giving no more sign of what emotions moved beneath its surface than if it had been sculped in marble. The whisper of speculation that ran about the chamber was subdued, decorous, and it was evident that the spectators were expecting some solemn and impressive work. IN TIIE FOREGROUND OF THE DESKS Sat the Comptroller-General. To his right and left sat Messrs. Hopkins and Ilenry Jackson. To the rear of Mr. Jackson sat Colonel Candler and Mr. Thomson ; these gentlemen having been his counsel. A lit tle in front sat Mr. Goldsmith, the father of the Comptroller, gray-haired, sorrowful, but devoted. Three of the Comptroller’s broth ers sat to the rear, watching the proceedings with the keenest interest. Mr. Hinton IJ.1 J . Wright sat near the President's desk. The attitude and demeanor of the Comptroller during the terrible strain imposed upon him was commendable. lie was deathly pale but tranquil and quiet. He was dressed with scrupulous neatness, and wore a rose bud on his coat lapel. lie sat most of the time with his right hand resting on the top of his head, slowly closing and opening his white fingers and running them through Ins hair. At other times he sat with the head of his walking cane pressed against his cheek under his right eye, leaning his head upon it slightly. When Senator Camming alluded to the “ amiability that had made him lovable in private life, but had been a snare to him inofficial life,” and to the gallantry with which he “ had bared his bosom to the storm of battle in defense of his State” and proceeded, to pay an eloquent and touching tribute to bis worth as a soldier and civilian, he was evidently affected. lie bended his head for ward until his face was hidden from view and remained so for some time. It was noticed that Major Cumming’s own eyes were moistened as lie closed his speech, showing the deep feeling that gave it such thrilling effect. When Mr. Preston made his im passioned appeal to the Senate, Mr. Gold smith leaned forward and sat bolt upright. Only once did he show signs of annoyance, and that was when Mr. Holcombe, with a rather poor taste it must be confessed, allud ed to a conversation he bad with the Comp troller*—“ shook like a leaf.” At this he turned to Captain Jackson and made some earnest remark. He laughed heartily at some of the points scored by Senator Hudson. TILE RUN OF TOE DEBATE. The debate of course hinged upon the question as to whether there should be simple removal or removal with disqualification. Those who favored simple removal had the best of the debate from the start, although Mr. Harrison made a very strong and pointed opening speech for the extreme penalty. Major Cumming’s speech was a model of its kind-impartial, calm and decorus as became the occasion, and yet thrilled all through and through with pathos and nervous with re pressed power. Colonel McDaniel argued the law of the case with the close and accurate energy for which he is famous, making, probably, the ablest speech of the day, and Mr. Preston's earnest appeal rang through the Senate chamber like the notes of a bugle, and showed that the young Senator has the very highest attributes of oratory. There were scores of people crying as he spoke—it carried off the palm for eloquence. Senator Hudson won the only applause of the day when lie said passionately, in reply to a question, “ l'es, God Almighty found David thrice guilty, but to-day David is in Heaven among the blest.” The point made by Mr. Bryan that the law itselfdisqualified the Comp troller from ever holding office after lie had been removed for malfeasance, created a ripple of excitement and was endorsed by many persons who were listening to the de bate and who were skilled in the law. For disqualification. Mr. Bower made a straight forward and able speech, in which he said that though mercy was sweet and sublime, there was a higher and a grander attribute, and that was justice. He argued that the law was positive to his mind upon the point of disqualification, and read the law to sus tain his position. The debate was opened, as we have said, by Senator Harrison, in one of the strongest speeches of the day. Mr. Holcombe followed Major Camming in an earnest and rugged speech, in which he in sisted that the extreme penalty should be put upon Mr. Goldsmith. He reviewed the history of the State from the days of recon struction on, and held that corruption ruled supreme in everything. He was severe upon Mr. Goldsmith because the latter had not, as he charged, met the Senate frankly and thrown open the records of his office to its inspection. Senator Clarke opposed the substitute in a lengthy and logical speech, and Mr. Clements in a practical, level-head ed speech that proved effective. It was plain, but strong ami to the point. Mr. Boyd, in a short but pertinent speech, opposed the passage of the disqualifying clause, aud the debate closed with a fervid speech from Mr. Cumming and a short rejoinder from Senator Bower. TIIE VOTE AND THE RESULT. It was almost dark in the Senate when the debate was finished. The gleams of the dy- ing sun were rippMng on the walls, and the twilight shadows hong over the scent. An attempt was made to put off ths vote, but it was promptly ordered, and was brought on without delay. The roll call opened In a death-like silence. By one of the caprices of voting, of the first six votes five were for the substitute, but after that it was rapidly beaten. Before the roll was half through with it was plain that the substitute was gone. At the close of the vote a thrill of sympathy ran through the whole Senate and the galleries. Every eye was instinctively turned to the pale, slight figure sitting in the shadows, and with the deeper shadows gathering about it. It betrayed no signs of emotion. The samepower that had enabled it to confront the rank after rank of Senators that had arisen the day before and voted “ guilty,” until the very ear of tho Senate was wearied with the sound, sustained him through this dreadful roll call. He started by keeping a tally-sheet, but soon stopped, lifted his face, imploringly it seemed, to the Senate. But the pittiless vote went on. At length it closed. The Chief Justice then put the main question. The call on this proceeded without incident until Mr. Head’s name was reached. That gentleman arose and stated that he did not believe Mr. Goldsmith deserved such pun ishment and he could not vote for it. But the friends of the substitute had determined to make no further fight, and Head and Pres ton wore the only Senators that voted against it. At the close of the cull adjournment was ordered, and the act of impeachment was over. A more solemn effect was never produced by legislative act. The vast crowd arose in perfect silence. It seemed chilled and be numbed. The Senators closed their desks and put on their hats without a word to each other. Every man and woman seemed filled and thrilled with the dread spirit of the oc casion. Away in the lower corner of the chamber, leaning upon the arm of an old gray-haired man, a slight, stooping figure walked slowly out of the aisle into tiie Pres ident's room. Wash. Goldsmith! the brave young soldier, the wise and patriotic legis lator, the lovable, amiable man—pale, trem bling and bended forward, stripped of his citizenship, but leaning on the arm of his father, expelled from office by the Senate, but drawn tenderly to the old heart that had known him from his boyhood, and that in the face of all circumstances stood up to say that it still loved and trusted him. And together, father and son, they passed through the shadows out into the world. May God, whose judgment is wise above all human estimate, and whose mercy endureth forever, follow them both, to correct all error, if error has been committed, or to chasten justice, if only justice has been delt to them. We presume that sentence -will be pro nounced to-day, at 10 o’clock. Mr. Gold smith was met at the side entrance of the hall by hundreds of friends, who expressed their utmost confidence in his integrity and their sympathy in his misfortunes. The im pression was simply universal that he had been tricked and misled, and that his pur poses bad not been wrong. THE TOTE ON THE ARTICLES. We did not give the "yeas and nay*’ 1 on the vote on the seventeen aticlos of impeach ment, as it would have taken up too much space, and besides there was no general line drawn by which the votes were divided. Each Senaeor voted just as his own opinion dictated, and there were some curious but no definite divisions. The only two Senators, we believe, who voted guilty on every charge were Messrs. Holcombe and Tison, of the Fourth. Mr. Bower voted guilty on most ol the charges, but on one call, where there was only one vote of “ not guilty,” that vote was Senator Bower’s. Messrs. Grantland, Boyd, Hamilton, of the Fourteenth ; Drake, Staten, Holton, Grimes and Russoll voted guilty on most of the articles, but there was no ten dency established. There were hardly any two voters that had the same support, except all voted guilty, as on two or three articles. The vote showed that the Senators had carefully weighed the matter in their own minds, and that each man voted as he thought his duty dictated. No sem blance of any clique or factional division could have been traced through the votes. The Perfect Girl. A THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT BY TIIE USE OF PERFUMES. A remarkable scientific discovery which is full of importance to ever} 7 one who is in any way interested in girls, is alleged to have been made by that eminent Italian scientific person, Dr. Piero Fabris, of Venice. Dr. Fabris was preparing an exhaustive work on “The Function of Perfume in Flowers,” when the thought occurred to him: Are not all our impulses due to the influence of perfumes, and is it not possible to make the human nose the great instrument of educa tion ? This thought led to a long series of careful experiments which finally enabled him to formulate rules for the production of female character at will. Dr. Fabris’ experiments wero made with the aid of seventy-eight small girls of between 10 and 15 years of age. These girls he divi ded into six classes. Each class was kept day and night in an atmosphere steeped in some particular perfume. The effects of these specific perfumes were carefully studied, and the result is really startling. The class of girls in musk consisted of thirteen members, chosen at random. At the end of six months every girl, without exception, had become plump, languid and conspicuously good tempered, unless under extreme provocation. Though Dr. Fabris found that musk produced a desire for wearing fine clothes and jewelry, it wa.<j also evident that it did not stimulate a taste for personal neatness, though, perhaps, this was due to indisposition to tako any unnecessary trouble, which is the characteristic effect of musk. This experiment convinced the iu vestigator that an amiable, languid and showy girl, with a tendency to undue post ponement in tho matter of changing collars and cuffs, may be produced by the aid of musk in from five to six months, out of the most, scraggy, spiteful and viciously active material. The effect of the perfume of the rose was precisely opposite that of musk. The girls of the rose class grew thin, abnormally neat, excessively prudish and decidedly unamiable. A curious unwillingness to tell the truth was developed in twelve of the thirteen jgirls ■*v ~ subjected to this experiment, a result which was the more remarkable since, in other re spects, they were unusually strict in obeying the teachings of the church. For this style of girls there is, of course, little or r.o de mand, except in those parts of New England where every girl is expected to become a school teacher. Geranium was found to produce a fair sample of girl. Those subjected to its influ ence developed the plumpness of tho musk girls, a decidedly independent spirit, and a tendency to free thinking in matters of reli- gion. This kind of girl would probably meet a largo demand in our Western and Northwestern States, where personal beauty and strength of character are much prized, and where orthodoxy in religion is not re garded as essential. Dr. Fabris is fliclined to think that by the alternate action of geranium and violet a modified girl might be produced who would be a decided improve ment upon cither a pure geranium or a pure violet girl. Very satisfactory results were obtained by the use of violet. The girls upon whom this perfume was employed became gentle, amiable, refined, devout and thoroughly truthful. They also, however, developed some indications of melancholy, and were, as a rule, lacking in physical and moral force. So far as the doctor’s investigations have been pushed, violet appears to give the best results. It is to be hoped that his expecta tions as to the alternate use of violet and geranium will be justified ; for in that case we shall be able to prodace girls who will be almost faultless. The only other perfume with which Dr. Fabris experimented was patchouli, and the results were most discouraging. At the cud of two months the girls of the patchouli class had developed nearly every undesirable quality, and it was perhaps a good thing that a mob, justly maddened by the scent of patchouli which radiated from the doctor’s laboratory, broke into the premises and de stroyed everything they could lay their hands on, including ths girls of the patchouli class, and several valuable articles of furniture and scientific instruments. Remarkable Vitality. Col. Jones, of Louisiana, was lynched for the murder of Gen. Lydell. lie fought a duel before the war and received an ounce rifle ball through his heart. He not only re covered, but was never afterward troubled with disease of that organ, from which ho had previously suffered. At the time of his killing he was shot no less than a dozen times with heavy charges of buckshot before he expired. A private soldier in Powers’ regiment of Confederate cavalry, while charging at Olive Branch was thrust through the bowels with a bayonet, and literally “pitchforked” from the horse, but ho disengaged himself, staggered to his feet and split his assailant’s skull in twain with a sabre. Within four months he-was again in active service. T. B. Edwards and E. Daigree, of the Second Louisiana Cavalry, were both shot through the bowels at the battle of Rafourohe Crossing and were pronounced by the surgeons as fatally wounded, the bullets not glancing as in some other cases, but cutting through the intestines. Both men recovered and did duty afterwards in two or three campaigns. Auguste Morey, a scout for the Trans-Mississippi army, was shot between the eyes, the bullet lodging in the back of his head, where it is yet. After his fall an Ohio infantryman rushed up and transfixed him through the breast with his bayonet. Morey was found alive on the field and sent by his captors to a prison hospital, from whence he was ex changed in time to have several brushes with his foes before the final “ breakup.” I saw him in 1868, and he told me that he had never suffered any inconvenincc from the leaden pellet that he was carrying iu his cranium. In 1866 I made the acquaintance of a retired old lieutenant colonel of the French armv, and he showed me a ghastly wound ho had re ceived from an artilleryman’s cutlass at the storming of the Malakofif. The cut had been down through his left shoulder, severing his collar bone and nearly lopping off that arm. I hat side of the old gentleman’s body was about an inch lower than the other, but he was not otherwise bothered by the Crimean reminisence. —Maine’s Legislature, which is Republican, will elect her Governor, as the Constitution provides that method when there is no elec tion by the people. ) TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM. ) SI.OO For Six Months.

Vegetable corn grows in rows * animal corn grows on toes. There are several kinds of corn ; there is the unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgers, field corn, and the corn which, is tho corn you most feel. It is said, I be lieve, that gophers like corns ; but persona having corns do not like to “go fur” if they can help it. Corns have kernels, and somo- Colonels have corns. Vegetable corns grow on cars, but animal corns grow on the feet the other end of the body. Another kind oJf corn is the acorn ; these kind grow on oaks* but there is no hoax about the corn. The, acorn is a corn with an indefinite article indeed,. Try it and see. Many a man lie has a corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes send for a doctor, and, iT the doctor himself is corned, he probably won’t do so well as if he isn’t. The doctor says corns are produced by tight booU and, shoes, which Is probably the reason why* when a man is tight, they say he is corned* If a farmer manages well, he can get a good deal of corn on an acre, but I know of * farmer who has a corn that makes the biggest achcr on his farm. The bigger crop of’ vegetable corn a man raises the better he likes, it; but the bigger crop of animal corn, tho. better he does not like it. Another kind ot corn is the corn dodger. The way it is made, is very simple, and is as folio is if you want to know : You go along the street, and meet a man you know has a corn, anl a rough character ; then you step on tho too that has a corn on it, and sec if you don’t, have occasion to dodge.

Ladies—caged birds of beautiful plumagOy but sickly looks—pale pets of the parlor,, who vegetate in unhealthy atmosphere, like' the potato germinating in a dark cellar, why do you not go into the open air and warm, sunshine, and add luster to your eyes, bloom, to your cheeks, elasticity to your steps, and vigor to your frames ?
