Heard the deep thunder, saw the lightning's gleam. And listened to the loud, unceasing roar Of tlie wild waters, as they madly beat Aguinst tlie rugged coast beneath my feet. And, standing there upon tlie rocky steep. Watching the towering billows inadiy rise, I heard, above the tumult of the deep, Tlie sudden sound of strange, unearthly cries, A chorus of wild shrieks, that rent tlie air Like tlie last wail of mortals in despair. Witli straining eyes I gazed into the dark, Across the waters, whence the sound was liorne; And saw upon the wave, a foundered bark, With broken masts, and rigging rudely torn, Tossed like a bubble on the hoili.ig flood, And bearing swiftly down to where 1 stood. Nearer, still nearer came tlie fated wreck. Driven onward by the filly of tlie storm; Ami, closely clinging to the wave-washed deck. A vivid Hash revealed tlie stalwart form Of one who had withstood the rolling tide That swept his struggling comrades from his side. A moment passed, and then a mighty wave Broke o’er ihevessel with resistless power; All hope was gone, no earthly aid could save That lonelv mariner in that dark hour— It tore him from the deck, tlie vessel sank, and lie Was left alouc to buffet with the sen. I saw a well-known visage, ghastly pale, As lie was lifted a rising swell; And beard a well-known voice above the gale, Cry, “Sister, I am drowning—fare the well!" Then slowly sinking down into the wave. Beneath the surf he found a watery grave. The vision ended -I awoke at last, And knew ’twas nothing but a frightful dream Yet, though that stormy night has long since passed Whene’er I listen to the wild winds scream, That cry still haunts me like some fearful knell, “My sister, I am drowning—fare the well 1” JEFF. DAVIS AT HOME. “M. QUAD” VISITS THE CON FEDERATE PRESIDENT. HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE —HIS TALK ABOUT GREAT GENERALS HIB LIFE LABOR—IT >W HE ENTERTAINS HIS FRIENDS AT BEAUVOIR. ' From ilie Detroit Free Press. It is it drive of five utiles over a sandy road through the oaks and pines and palmeitoes from Missis sippi city to Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis, and as I passed over the road the other April day, frightening an alligatar here, skirt ing an orange grove there, and all of a sudden breaking out of the forest upon the sandy shores wash ed by the waves of the gulf, I felt ♦hat lie had well chosen tiie home of his old age. His had been a life of turmoil eveu before civil war was whispered. He bad been a giant in politics, a warrior in Mexico, a diplomat and an antagonist in all the main issues of the day and the problem of civil government! Few lives have been so eventful. his neighbors. I asked the justice of the peace who drove me down by a span of too-fut horses, if be knew Jefferson Davis, and he answered : “Why, of course—known him for thirty years.” “And bow do the people in this neighborhood feel toward him? “Everybody likes him. He is a good neighbor, a just-minded citi zen, and lias the respect and good will of every man, lonian and child.” “Are any of his former slaves in this neighborhood ?” “Plenty of them, aud what’s more a number of them are now in his employ. He was kind to his peo ple, and when the war closed and he finally came there to settle down dozens of his old slaves were ready to hire to him at any price. Of those in his employ there isn’t money enough in the State of Mis sissippi to hire them to leave him. .He has two large cotton plantations outside of the Beauvoir property, thus directly and indi rectly employing hundreds of col ored people, and you can’t find one who hasn’t a good word for him. No, Siree, Mister, there isn’t a man in this part of the country better thought of as a neighbor, a citizen and a man than Jefferson Davis.” AT HOME. The house is what we in the North would call a story and a half cottage in height, and it faces the Gulf. Around it is a famous grove of oaks and other woods, from here and there a tree, the long gray moss bangs down and swings in the breeze in its weird and dreamy way. Nature has done much to beautify the grounds, and they are kept in a neat and tidy condition. The lionse is roomy, finely fur nished, rind while there is no osten tatious display, there is a home like atmosphere and a look of cosy comfort. One can see refinement and taste everywhere, and none of the home comforts are sacrificed. From the verandah one can look out upon the sandy beach, and the neighbors are all thpt the word implies. THE EX-PRESIDENT. I had only a moment, to wait be fore the ex-President came iu and gave me a hearty grasp of the hand and words of welcome. Tall, al most snow white whiskers, bine eyes, face wrinkled with age, voice as soft and kiud as.a mother’s— such was the picture of a man who, for four years, held the destinies of a continent hi his Men grip In the zenith of his power he may have appeared haughty and imper vious to some, lint not to the gen erality. A kinder face I have nev er met, aud though there is some thing in the voice to warn one that its owner has held place aud pow er, one is soon clmnned with its kindness and touch of pathos. Mr. Davis is seventy-three years of age, and his health is not of the best. It is evident that his life of vicissitude is drawing to a close, aud ns one realizes it he caunot hut admire the physical and men tal machinery which has stood the strain of so much labor. Many a man of equal ago had laid and >wn his burdeus of public life when Mr. Davis assumed his greatest. He has been a man without rest until withiu the last few years. His lit erary work, eutered upon long after his sixteenth birthday, was a task which would have discouraged an author twenty years younger, yet he made no pause until the last chapter was in the publisher’s hands. NORTH AND SOUTH. Ho asked me about my. Southern trip—where I had been, whom 1 bad met, and what opinion I bad formed of the sentiment of the masses ; aud when I answered that the - North and South seeme 1 more closely united to-day than Nit any period of our history, he expressed deep gratification. "“It is a grnud and progressive country,” he said, "and the better people under stand eifch other tin? better is onr | future as a country.” He asked me rug a ruing the sen timent of the North, and I believe 1 answered truly when I told him that rancor and bitterness bad died out of the hearts of all but dema gogues and malevolent politicians. “That is right,” lie replied, “and I trust that no outward event, will sever the growing cordial rela tions.” ABOUT WAR. By and by wo drifted into the subject of war. It was Mr. Davis "ho gave General McClellan his first upward steps, and it' was Mr. Davis who appointed General Meade to the Lake Survey, and was criticised sharply for his se | lection. He believed that MoClol | lan’s campaign against Richmond, bad he been peruiittedjo carry it out as planued aud received the hearty support of the War Depart ment, must have resulted disas trously to the Confederacy. “1 knew McClellan, Meade, Hum phrey and nearly all the Federal Generals,” said Mr. Davis, and many of them were my proteges. Although they were fighting my armies, I could not resist a feeling of pride in seeing so many of the young men I had helped advance winning fame and proving all that had been predicted.” I asked him" to name the best Federal General, and he replied : “There were two—McClellan and Meade. McCiellan was a grand engineer and a great General; Meade was'a steady fighter, and his movements were more of an enigma to Lee than those of any other Federal General.” OLD ACQUINTANCEB. As we talked of this and that— the names of generals, statesmen, governors and government officials came tip, and many of them proved to be old acquaintances of Mr. Da vis. In years agone, he and Ben Butler were on the best social terms, and it was the same with several other present Governors of Northern States, and with various Generals who won their laurels in war The ex-President had a kit and word and a good wish for each and every one, and he seemed to be lieve that those who had made their mark were entirely deserving of their success. HIS CAPTURE. In the State Library at Jackson, Mississippi, is a crayon portrait of Mr. Davis as be appeared when cap tured I asked him if it was correct and he replied : “I will tell you exactly how it all occurred. I had lain down with out removing a garment. I had heavy cavalry boots, pantaloons tucked into the tops, a gray blouse and a soft hat. Upon the alarm being given I stepped out of the tent and saw a Federal cavalryman thirty or forty feet away. He or dered me to halt. At the same mo ment, Mrs. Davis threw over my shoulder a folded shawl. I saw that my only chance to escape was to secure the horse of the Federal. I advanced straight upon him, feel ing that he would fire upon me, hut believiug that he would miss his target. Had this occurred there would have been a struggle for the possession of the horse. As I approached the soldier, he lower ed his carbine as if to shoot, and at the same moment Mrs. Davis rush ed up and threw her arms around me. The soldier hesitated a mo ment, turned his weapon aside, and I walked hack to the fire and I remained there until made prison er.” A LUNCH. Two hours passed swiftly ns we talked, hut before permitti ug me to depart Mr. Davis ordered a lunch, and was again the host instead of the historian. One who takes him by the hand and looks into his kind face must respect him. One who sees his white hairs and notes the evidences of old age must feel glad that his few last years are to he full of peace aud quietness. M. Quad. GiIMJS FISHING FOB HUS BANDS. The husband fishery at the sum mer resorts last seasou was report ed aflat failure;aud the reason why the fishing failed, the Philadelphia Times says, is that the style was too gorgeous. "W bile it compelled admiration, it dazzled those who admired it. Its glitter was beau tiful. hut a glance at it was enough to drive the poor fellows away with feelings of thankfulness for their escape. While plaiuer and less ex pensive girls meet their mates, the elegantly overdressed lady remains solitary. If the girl who is fishing for a husband makes any mistake it is that of thinking that the young man who is looking for a wife wants a costly piece of goods for show. Some young men want this, hut there are few who can afford it, and even those who can are in many in stances afraid to yoke themselves to it. They know that a too showy young woman, even if sbe_ has wealthy parents, is apt to he full of troublesome whims and of no tions very difficult to satisfy. Even jf they ho so sordid that, they would like to marry for money these young men know enough to reflect that riches sometimes take wings and go out of sight. They slop aud consider that if there he weajth and whims, the residue is an exceedingly undesirable piece of finery. Every summer there is a com plaint of the lack of young men at the watering-places. Last year the complaint 'was louder than ever. One of the reasons is that the ex travagant display made by some of the girls frightens them away. They cannot afford such expensive luxu ries as these girls appear to be. They go fishing or boating or hunt ing by themselves, or take long pedestrian tours out of reach of the girls. The girls meanwhile sit on fashionable hotel porticos, with their papas aud mamas, and iaraent and wonder. The girl who leis nature take its course; who avoids putting herself on exhibition as if for sale, who makes no more display than is con sistent with gracefulness, beauty and good common sense, is reason ably sure of one of two things. Either she \yll make a delightful wife for some sensible and worthy man; or else site. will turn out a happy and lovely old maid. Better boa nice spinster than an unlovely wife, married for money or show. " ’ •■ ’ —“lt need not be asked,” says the Providence Journal, “that the negroes should remaiu with one party, except so far as sincerity and principles favored their equality and consideration; but separate themselves from either and become an independent organization, seek ing only its aggrandizement, with out regard for the country, would be a most dangerous experiment. We do not believe it will be tried, in spite of the efforts of some would be leaders.” - —Henry Grady estimates that there will be six thousand carloads of watermelons grown in the State this year, or 7,500,000 separate melons, which ranged in price last year in the Western markets at frem 20 to 28 cents each, and av eraging the crop this year at 20 cents each, will bring about $1,500,- 000. Truly the truck farm is a big thing for Georgia when -a single product will bring so much money to her farmers. —General Toombs on Tuesday entertained the visiting and local ! bar of Wilkes Superior Court. MEETING lIIS FATE. LAST SCENES IN THE JONES WIFE TRAGEDY. THE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE —THE GOV ERNORS DEATH DISPATCH —GATH- ERED MULTITUDES—SCENES AT THE GALLOWS. Staff Correspondence Home Journal. Lexington, Ga . May 18.—The final scene in one of the most bru tal tragedies Oglethorpe county has ever witnessed, has been enacted, and as I write the body of Jones, the wife-murderer, \ies iu his coffin awaiting burial. With the . main facts of the murder, trial and sen tence the readers of the Home Jour nal are familiar, and I will not re count the story. The Scenes since mv last letter, including the execu tion, I shall briefly tell. THIRD ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. On Thursday morning Jones re | quested of Sheriff Duster that he !he undisturbed by visitors during the day. Thinking that ho wished : to meditate on his past life and pre jparo himself for death ou the mor- Irow, his request was granted, and j not a soul was admitted to the pris ion cell. About two o’clock in the j afternoon one of the bailiffs went to j the cell to carry Jones his dinuer, | aud found him prostrate upon the floor in an unconscious condition, j bleeding profusely from wouuds iu \ three places on his arm. The alarm was given, physicians were sent for : and efforts at ouce made to save I bis life. He stubbornly refused to I take any stimulants or uouishment and whisky was byperdermically j administered. His co'iidition was such that Governor McDaniel was ! telegraphed and asked for a respite. J Governor McDaniel reserved his : decision until this morning. During i the night Jones remained in a j semi-conscious state, tossing and : moaning and speaking di.-jointedly of his sister and wife. His brother stood at his head, stroking his hair aud looking so sad, and worn and pitahle that I could but feel sympa thy foi him. He remained in the j samo position until late in the night l and thou going to the outside sat upon the prison-steps, his head hewed in his hands, a touching I picture of grief. This morning Jones’s condition ! was improved, his pulse was nor | mal and the physicians telegraphed. I the Governor accordingly. The reply came that he saw no reason; for executive interference, and or dering that the sentence be execu ted. About uiue o’clock Jones awoke from his stupor aud took nourish ment ot eggs and chickens. In a short while he was able to stand, though weak, and began to make his last toilet. He dressed himself and sitting down begau to converse with the reporters and others. He said he was weak, hut was NOT AFRAID TO DIE. He said he would have much to say On the gallows, and if he failed it would be from Weakness and not fear, tie exhibited but little con cern and his coolness throughout was absolutely terrifying. Laugh ing, speaking carelessly of his ap proaching end, the ntfurs flew by. I estimate that at least eight thou sand people were at Lexingtou to day, mostly negroes. The streets were crowded and at the gallows the hillsides and trees literally swarmed with human beings, anx ious to obtaiu a view of the execu tion. . It was nearly one o’clock when Sheriff Doster stepped into the jail corridor. Jones’’met him and sttid, “Well, Doster, time to go, is it?” Tins was said with as much cool ness as though he were going for a pleasure walk instead of a march to death. The sheriff and Jones left the prison together and took a seat in a buggy. The reporters followed closely and all were snr rouuded by a strong guard wbo ! kept the crowd iu check. On the j rdute to the gallows Jones /einain jed unmoved, and turned often to bow to some acquaintance, or ex change words with the reporters. About half-past one the scene of execution was reached. Jones spent a. few moments, bidding “good-bye” to those who crowded the vehicle, and then with a firm step mounted the gallows. He made a few remarks to the. crowd. His voice was weak but clear, and every word and gesture was cool and studied. Prayer was offered for him by Rev. Mr. Gibson, and his hand's and feet were tied and the noose adjusted. Here he dis played tho greatest calmuess, show ing the sheriff how to adjust the rope. He then said, “I die with malice toward no man. I want to show my friends and enemies here that I am not afraid to die. My hands are tied aud the rope is TEIOIS $2 00 per Annum, in Atlviuicc. WHOLE NUMBER 521. around m v neck and t do Hot trem ble. I shall meet death like a man.” Tlie blackcap was adjusted, lie bid the sheriff and Others a final adifeu; the trap was sprung and the hotly swung out. In eleven minutes he was pronounced dead, and in thirty cut down. His body was taken charge of by friends. A THOUGHT OF HANGIXGi I have never seen before a man who was hung that exhibited the | same intrepidity as Jones And I thought that the fearlessness with which he met death tended to exert a demoralizing influence on those : who witnessed it. Of the eight thousand persons who saw Jones swing out there was fully two thirds who left with a less dread of death ! and horror of hanging thrtu before. I believe that pulffic bangings |should ho done away with. It throws around the crime and the criminal a halo of hefoisin which is bed, and which tends to rob the gallows of its terrors. It certainly does no good, and is at least a pandering to a morbid pub lic appetite for sensation, aud a gratification of a base curiosity. If public hangings were done away with it would bo better. Jones was a man in every way a counterpart of the detested Gui tenu. That same inordinate love of self and caring for public noto riety which characterized the assas sin of the President all through his trial was promiuent in the action's ■of Jones. In my opinion he went ;to death, believing himself a beTo ; and a martyr. He knew that oh 1 | the morrow his name would he j priuted, with his crime and death speech, iu every paper iu the Unr . ted States, and he obtained the no*- toriety which lie sought. In his opinion this was a festive occasion, a great day, of which he was the centra! figure. Fears of death were lost in the gratification of a selfish love of notoriety. E. Y, WHAT CAN A* LITTLE GIHL IX) •! What can she do V Why, almost anything. She can wash aud dress her doll. She can rock and sing her to sleep. She can take her up, carry her about, put her in her lit tle wagon, scold her, pet her, and make a big fuss over her generally. All this she can do. But she cau do a great deal move. She can help her mamma and papa ever so much —not exactly by doing the work about the house, cooking the din ner, or washing the clothes, or ev en sweeping the rooms. Nor can she go to the store and wait on the customers. Her arms wouldn’t bo long enough to reach tho goods, nor would she know how much to ask for them. But sliil theie is something—yes, a great deal—she can do. She cau be her mothers darliDg and her father’s pet. When all others are away she stays with her mother. She is the best of company. True, she cannot gossip; nor can she talk about other peo ple, but she can prattle away at her mamma. She cau put her arms around her neck, and iu her own sweet way tell her- how. much she loves her. And then, when she hears her papa coming, she can tod dle away to meet him—put out her arms for him to take her up and put her on his shoulder, and, sitting there as happy as a queen, can sing aud tivK at a great rate. Now noth ing perhaps in this world will so soon drive away weariness and care from a parent’s heart as just these things. Aud so iu the house, her presence, her funny ways, her pure love, her constant motion, and her unceasing prattle, aie a source of unceasing amusement and delight. We don’t believe any other com panionship can do so much good. So we say God bless the little girlsr, for they are great comforts. —Sometimes the startling revela tions of immorality made by our daily newspapers lead us to in-, delge in glowing views of the so cial future of the country. The in stances which impress us so unfa vorably, however, are exceptional, and are far from being numerous, when our large population is taken into consideration. A close obser ver of men and things in the course of a letter to the Chicago Tribune, states that the tone of family life is purer and more elevated here than in any country in Europe. Tho average morality of till classes of our people, he thinks, is superi or to that of correspoudins classes iu Germany, France, and England. In the latter country, he says, there are two members of the British cabinet, who lead immoral domes tic lives, and yet Mr. Gladstone and the press do not seem to mind it it in the least. In the United States a publio man guilty of such conduct would be shown up in the newspaers without mercy. —There is i* cow in Cumming twenty-four years old.
