ed.
Many colored people voted the open Conser
vative ticket in Montgomery, yesterday.
The forests are burning on the line of the
Panhandle and Central railroads.
Information was received at Louisville yes
terday. by the family of Hon. E. Rumsey,
United States minister at Ecuador, announc
ing his death at Queto, October 18.
It is reported that copies of the missing let
ters of Bismarck to Arnim have been sent to
the morning papers, and will be published
shortly.
The French vintage for the present year is
highly successful.
The new French army bill, introduced by
the government, provides for raising the total
240,000 men.
There was a riot in Eufaula. yesterday, in
which six whites and seventy-four negroes
were wounded, and one white and eight ne
groes killed.
An ingenious Frenchman in the
Baltimore jail has invented an im
provement for sewing the heels on
shoes, for which he has been offered
$5,000.
Large numbers of young Swiss wo
men are to be found all over Europe
employed as nurses and governesses.
A meeting was recently held in
Geneva protesting against the custom
of young women leaving the country
for this purpose.
James A. Crozier, a typist, walked
from Sixteenth street, New York, to
Bronxville and return, a distance of
thirty-two miles, in seven hours,
thirty minutes and thirty seconds,
for a wager of $250, without a single
stick.
In LaFayette county, Mississippi,
the Grangers are raising stock by
subscription for the erection of a cot
ton factory at Oxford. The capital
stock is $50,000 on shares of $25 each.
The greater portion of this has al
ready been subscribed.
A $30,000 Robber. —A man giving
his name as Gustave Meyer has been
arrested in New York as Theopile
George Kirstein, who is alleged to
have robbed the Kulm Credit Bank
of Western Prussia, last December,
of SIBO,OOO in bonds and money.
Kirstein was a director. It is said
he committed many forgeries besides
his embezzlements, and that a man
in Kulm lost $75,000 by him, and
several banking houses in Berlin
were victimized to the amount of
SBO,OOO.
The statement by Capt. Ricasso, of
the park Teresa, that he has discov
ered a daugerous rock in the Atlan
tic Ocean in the same latitude as
New York, and in a straight line
from west to east, five hundred miles
from New York harbor, is deserving
of investigation. The Captain says
that at high water the rocks would
be completely covered, and at low
water would not be noticed unless it
were perfectly calm. The existence
of such a danger would go far to ac
count for such mysterious disasters
as the loss of the City of Boston, the
United Kingdom, and other vessels
that have never been heard from.
The schools of Vermont are far
from being in a prosperous condition.
More than 700 of the school houses,
or one-third of the whole, are re
ported as unfit for use, while cheap
teachers are everywhere sought for,
the ordinary wages being $1 50 to $4
a week for women, who constitute a
majority of the teachers, and $4 and
upward for men. There is no high
school system, and it is optional with
towns whether to maintain a graded
school or not. In the rural districts
the number of school children is de
creasing every year, aud the popula
tion has drifted from its old localities.
The Hartford Times says that New
England was formerly exempt from
fever and ague, but “since the war
this troublesome disorder has ex
isted, nearly every year, to some
extent along the Connecticut coast,
between the Connecticut river and
New York, and now it has crept into
the middle region of the State. It
has existed at New Haven for some
time, and during the last month it
has prevailed seriously at Portland,
Middlesex county—the seat of the
freestone quarries. At one time there
were said to be no fewer than 500
cases of fever and ague in that town.
We hear of a few cases of it, too, here
in Hartford.”
A squaw sat down on the curb in
front of the postofficein Austin, Nev.,
and, unrolling a bundle of calico,
commenced the manufacture of a
dress. In less than an hour the dress
was finished; and putting it on over
her old clothes the squaw pulled out
a pin here, a peg there, untied a
string in another place, made one
step and, presto! the old clothes lay
in the gutter. Gathering up the rag3
just shed, the noble daughter of the
forest cast one look of triumph on
the spectators and skipped gracefully
off in the direction of the Indian
camp. A prominent citizen who
was an interested witness of the
transaction, mildly remarked that
he would give S3O if Mrs. P. C. could
shed herself like that.
THE RESULT IN THE 7TH DISTRICT.
This issue should have appeared on
Wednesday evening last, but was de
layed by our desire to give to our
readers the result of the election in
this District. We have had unac
countable difficulty, some way or
other in obtaining correct news from
Dade, and as to Haralson and Pauld
ing counties it seemed that we never
should hear at all, so great was public
anxiety. On Thursday, just after
dark, a dispatch was received from
Atlanta settling the hotly contested
fight, in favor of W. H. Felton, and
giving him a majority of two hundred
and eighteen votes in the District.
We greatly regret it, but the Demo
cratic party is defeated in the 7th
District, once considered its strong
hold in the State —and whether will
ingly, or not, it becomes her lot to
submit to a decision at the polls
which had it been in our power to
prevent, never would have occurred.
The race has been short, warm aud
animated. On the 19th of October,
Col. Dabney was nominated, having
only twelve working days, counting
every one of them, for fourteen
counties. He went to work how
ever, inspired by the genius of the
cause, in which he was enlisted, aud
to up to Saturday last, not a single
doubt was entertained by his well in
formed friends, but that he would
carry the District by a handsome ma
jority.
Thus it wa3 that Harbin, the Radi
cal candidate, came down in favor of
Felton. The Radical leaders in this
and every other county in the Dis
trict organized their party into one
compact mass, and threw the whole
negro vote upon Feltor, except such
as would not vote at all, and one
here and there who was induced to
vote for Dabney. In the disorgan
ized state of the party in the District
such an event had a fearful signifi
cance, and the scene which was ex
hibited at the polls, in this and the
other counties, showed, as the result
has proven, that the Democratic par
ty had not only a large aud respecta
ble portion of its own dissatisfied
members, but also the combined
power of the white Radicals and the
negroes to fight. This she had to do,
and this she did and did it manfully,
and so evenly did she hold the scales
in balance, that not until the last mo
ment was she compelled to yield to a
meagre majority of 218 votes in four
teen counties. If not satisfied with
the result we are at least in no wise
the least discouraged as to the future
of her career in this District, and
while she now sheathes her sword,
when in two years to come its blade
is bared again, it shall be drawn in
no doubtful contest. Had the negro
vote been at all divided, or had it
been kept out of the field, we should
have had an overwhelming victory;
as it is we yield the fight. Felton is
elected by 218 votes, officially an
nounced.
Since writing the above, we have
received further intelligence. All is
in doubt. Dabney may be elected yet.
The majority in Haralson is reported
at 15 for Dabney; said to be reliable.
Felton goes into Haralson with 13
majority. A feather may turn the
scale. We can delay our paper no
longer. God defend the right.
DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT.
The most astonishing and triumph
ant victories have crowned the or
ganized Democracy from one end of
the Union to the other. A perfect
ground-swell has taken place, and
the next Congress will have a clear
majority of fifty Democrats. Grant
ism, Reconstruction and Civil Rights
will now have their everlasting quie
tus, and the people of this Govern
ment, througii their chosen, elected
representatives, are determined to see
that the Constitution and tlieir rights
under it shall be maintained. Even
iron-bound Massachusetts, steeped in
the very iniquities of the vilest Radi
calism, has been redeemed, and Beast
Butler, beaten by 1000 votes instead
of going to Congress to harm and vil
ify the South and oppress her citi
zens, has been consigned to a political
death from which there is no resur
rection. The Democratic party,
which was thought by her enemies
to be dead, has come to life with new
euergy, and all over the land, from one
end to the other, the cry of redemp
tion and liberty has gone up with
hearty thanks to Almighty God, and
her stubborn zeal and imperishable
devotion to principle, which after a
long and weary conflict, has resulted
in her glorious triumph.
The-body of Lady Dilke, who died
recently in London, was burnt on
Oct. 10. at Dresden. The ceremony
was performed in the furnace recent
ly invented for burial purposes, by
Herr Siemens, and the relatives of
the deceased lady permitting stran
gers to be present, a large number of
scientific men attended the experi
ment. When the company had com
plied with Herr Siemens’s request to
offer up a mental prayer, the coffin
was placed in the chamber of the fur
nace ; six minutes later the coffin
burst; five minutes more and the
fiesh began to melt away; ten min
utes more and the bones began to
crumble. Seventy-five minutes af
ter the introduction of the coffin into
the furnace all that remained of Lady
Dilke and the coffin were six pounds
of dust placed in an urn. The
brother-in-law of the deceased was
present.
Ben Hogan is the jiugilist who
fought with Tom Allen in Omaha a
year ago this month. After that
event he came East and settled in
Pittsburgh, where he advanced rap
idly in wealth and in claims to re
spectability. He built an opera
house in Petrolio, then another in
Millerstown, and then a third in Ka
rus City. His next venture was a
hotel in Petrolia and all these estab
lishments are in full operation. Still
later he opened his opera houses on
Sunday nights for religious services.
At this point, however, his upward
progress stopped short, aud down
ward was again his direction, The
other day his friends nominated him
for Congress as a stump candidate,
and he accepted!
Henry Clews has reached the end
of his financial career. He is now
engaged in a loosing fight with his
numerous creditors in the courts.
He is fertile in plans of resumption,
but an assignment, of all his proper
ty, for the benefit of his creditors
could not be avoided. The claws of
that Wall street tiger are no longer
dangerous. —Atlanta Constitution.
THE SWEET SORROW OF PARTING.
The Pall Mall Gazette says: “An
affecting scene seems to have occur
ed at Glasgow on a recent evening,
on the occasion of the parting of two
brothers, one of whom was about to
leave home for America. The two
brothers are named Robert and Ed
ward Paton, and a number of friends
had assembled at Edward’s house, in
Gilroy Court, for the purpose of bid
ding adieu to Robert. Some ‘drink’
having been consumed, the farewell
was taken, its sadness being heigh
tened by a somewhat distressed inci
dent. The tw r o brothers, unfortu
nately, differed on a question relat
ing to the money paid for the ‘drink,’
and, still more unfortunately, the
difference ended in a personal en
counter, during which they rolled on
the floor, and Edward, instead of
tenderly embracing his departing
brother, bit him severely on the
cheek. Their friends had the good
taste at this point to check further
demonstrations of brotherly love by
tearing Edward away from Robert;
but while they were holding him
Robert, unable to control his feel
ings, rushed at his brother and frac
turned his skull with some iron in
strument, supposed to be a horseshoe.
Edward was then taken to the in
firmary, and Robert, although, of
course, deeply anxious respecting his
brother’s condition, was compelled to
go on board the steamer that was
just starting for Liverpool. In the
meantime Edward lies in a most
precarious condition, and poor Rob
ert has been taken into custody at
Liverpool, and is to be brought back
immediately to Glasgow to go
through all the pangs of another
parting.”
VAST UNDERGROUND RUINS.
The two Republics, of Mexico,
mentions the recent discovery of an
artificially excavated grotto, fifteen
miles from Tancitaro, in the State of
Miehoacan, which cannot fail to en
list the attention of antiquaries and
archaeologists. This grotto is repre
sented to be of immense depth aud
vast extent; the remains of walls and
arched corridors are still to be seen,
and many curious specimens of the
handiwork of an unknown have been
brought from this subterranean pal
ace. Two citizens of a neighboring
village recently penetrated into the
cavernous depths of the grotto and
lost their way. Three days and
nights were spent in wandering
through the labyrinthine passages of
this wonderful place before they
found an outlet from their strange
imprisonment. Subsequent to this
competent persons made a more thor
ough examination of the grotto, when
the fact that at some unknown period
in the past it had been shaped by hu
man skill, and walled in on every
side by human hands, was revealed.
It is a dark labyrinth, surpassing in
extent and intricacy the fabled one
constructed by Daedalus in the clas
sic realms of Crete. The walls are of
masonry, and passage ways, which
connect vast chambers, arched over
with stone. These evidences of hu
man labor and contrivance lead to
the supposition that it is the work of
an aboriginal race, which long ago
perished.
SOLOMON IN MODERN LIFE.
Sometimes a good rule does not
work. Two women came before Al
derman Dobbs, in our village, the
other day to settle a dispute about a
child. Mrs. Murphy claimed the boy
as hers, while Mrs. Doolan insisted
that it was hers. As the alderman
could not obtain any decisive evi
dence bearing upon theease.it oocur
red to him to try the plan once used
in a similar case by Solomon. He
sent out to the kitchen and got a
carving knife, and then placing the
boy on the desk, he said to the wo
men, while he sharpened hisknifeon
his boot, “I’m a goin’ to cut thisyer
youngster in half, and let Mrs. Mur
phy take the body, while Mrs. Dool
an goes home with the legs.” It was
a clever idea, but it failed. Mrs. Mur
phy stepped up to him, and doubling
up a fist that looked like an under
done leg of mutton, she shook it close
to his nose and said, “Ef ye do, ye
shpalpeen, oil murther ye with me
own hand;” and Mrs. Doolan seized
him by the hair, threw him to the
ground and exclaimed, while she
brandished the knife over his pros
trate body, “Gimme the legs ! Be me
sowl oi’ve a mind to kill ye and ate
ye.” Then ’Squire Dobbs adjourned
the case, and while Mrs. Doolan re
tired with the boy he went out to
hunt up a Bible commentary, in or
der to ascertain if there was not some
thing about Solomon’s proceedings
that he didn’t understand. Max
Adeler in Danbury News.
TO REMEMBER HIS MOTHER.
The folkrwing touch ing story, which
is not without its moral, we take from
an exchange:
A company of poor children, who
had been gathered out of the alleys
and garrets of the city, were preparing
for their departure to new and dis
tant homes in the West. Just before
the time for starting on the cars, one
of the boys was noticed apart from
the others, and appeared to be very
busy with a cast-off garment. The
superintendent stepped up to him,
and found that he was cutting a small
piece out of the patched lining. It
proved to be his old jacket, which,
having been replaced by anew one,
had been thrown away. There was
no time to be lost.
“Come, John, come,” said the su
perintendent, “what are you going
to do with that old piece of cali
co?”
“Please, sir,” said John, “I am
cutting it so as to take it with me.
My mother* put the lining -to this
jacket, and this was a piece of her
dress. It’s all I have to remember
her by.”
The boy was evidently thinking of
his mother’s love, and of the sad
death-scene in the old garret where
she died, for he cried as if his heart
would break. He then thrust the lit
tle piece of calico into his bosom and
hurried into a car, and was soon far
away from the place in which a
mother’s love had made a home for
him.
A Rascally Russian Sutler.—
During the Crimean campaign one of
the principal regimental canteens in
the Russian army was suddenly
closed in the faces of officers and
men, without notice or warning.
Prince Gortschakoff, furious, rode up
to the purveyor and demanded an
explanation; whereupon the latter
replied that instead of yielding him,
as was commonly supposed, SIOO of
clear daily profits, his business was
landing him in downright ruin, inas
much as the greater part of his re
ceipts consisted of false bank notes.
The general, at his wits’ end, tele
graphed to the emperor, and on re
ceiving a reply told the purveyor
that if he would open his canteen for
the spurious notes in question they
should be cashed by the bank as if
they had been genuine. Armed with
this assurance the purveyor briskly
resumed his business, and labored in
his vocation with such zeal and dili
gence that, at the end of the war, he
had the satisfaction of being able to
present for payment to the Imperial
Bank $200,000 worth of counterfeit
paper, scarcely any of which had re
ally been received by him in the
course of his dealings with the army.
—London Times.
A Kind Word. —It was a bitter
winter day. Little Pat was standing
behind the board on which lay his
papers, waiting to sell them. A
bright-faced and tender-hearted girl
stepped up and bought one, and, as
she laid the money down, she kindly
asked, “Aren’t you very cold?” “I
was till you passed by,” returned the
boy. Exuisite answer! Her kind
word had warmed through and
through the little fellow’s heart. Go
thou and do likewise.
Nelpeau, the French surgeon, had
successfully performed, on a little
child five years old, a most perilous
operation. The mother came to him
and said:
“Monsier, my son is saved, and I
really know not how to express my
gratitude. Allow me, however, to
present you with this pocket-book,
embroidered by my own hands.”
“Oh, madame,” "replied “Velpeau,
sharply, “my art is not merely a
question of feeling. My life has its
requirements like yours. Dress,even,
which is a luxury to you, is necessa
ry for me. Allow me, therefore, to
refuse your charming little present in
exchange for a more substantial re
muneration.
“But, monsieur, what remunera
tion do you desire ? Fix the fee your
self.”
“Five thousand francs, madarne.”
The lady very quietly opened the
pocket-book, which contained ten
thousand francs in notes, counted out
five, and after politely handing them
over to Velpeau, retired. Imagine
his feelings!
The Paterson Guardian says: “A
recent paragraph calling attention to
the fact that summer widowers were
having the jolliest times imaginable
in the absence of their voluble halves
has had a most remarkable effect.
The wives come trotting home to see
about this thing. One gentleman
who was having an unusually good
time, and whose wife had gone away
to stay till the middle of September,
was wonderfully astonished on go
ing home at four o’clock one morn
ing to find his wife sitting up wait
ing for him. She gave him a rous
ing reception, and he looks like the
last rose of summer. The wide
world may wag as it will, but it is
doubtful if he ever smiles again.—
The wives are coming home unex
pectedly every day, and husbands
had better look out a little in order
that they may save some trouble.
France produced in 1872, 342,309,-
512 bushels of wheat, whilst the Uni
ted States only produced 249,997,100
bushels of that grain. The Statis
tics, we suppose, are true, as we take
them from a pamphlet prepared with
much care by the southern fertilizer
company of Richmond. The pro
duction of barley is over double that
of the United States ; of oats, about
equal; of rye, nearly six times as
great. In corn the United States is
far ahead, the yield for 1872 being
1,092,719,000 bushels, whilst France
produced only 31,078,308. Do not
these statistics speak volumes in fa
for of small, well cultivated farms?
No wonder France has been able
so soon to pay off the immense debt
contracted in her war with Germany.
Her average yield of wheat since 1854
is from 17 to 19 bushels per acre.
The Galveston News has this item
from Houston, Texas:
Probably the sweetest poetess that
ever touch the Texas lyre was mar
ried last night to Mr. T. E. Davis, of
Galveston. The wedding is under
stood to have taken place at the sub
urban residence of E. H. Cushing,
Esq., which Miss Moore has made
her home for some years past. The
authoress of those stirring war lyrics
which, in days gone by, thrilled the
Texan heart, belongs, in some meas
ure, to the Texas public, and it is to
be hoped that the wedded life of this
gifted woman will but re-inspiro her
muse, already too long silent.
The action of President Grant in
pardoning Geo. Ellis, formerly Pres
ident of the Boston National Bank of
the Commonwealth, who had been
indicted for the embezzlement of
some $50,000, without waiting for the
formality of a trial and conviction,
is not without precedent. While the
notorious Bullock was Governor of
Georgia, Foster Blodgett—the noto
rious carpet-bagger who pretended
to be elected to the United States
Senate, but unaccountably failed to
get his seat—was indicted for frau
dulent practices, and Gov. Bullock,
before he ran away from the State,
issued a pardon for his friend in ad
vance of the trial of his case. So
Grant has simply followed Bullock’s
example in this instance.
Major Merrill of the United
States Army, commanding at Shreve
port, La., who has been going into
court and making affidavits against
citizens who signed the labor pledge,
preparatory to having them arrested
by a deputy sheriff, is the same Mer
rill who obtained from the thieves’
Legislature in South Carolina a do
nation of thousands of dollars for his
services in raiding the State previous
to the Presidential election in 1872,in
his capacity as an officer of the army.
Instead of having his shoulder straps
torn off for that disgraceful act he has
been sent by Grant to try and worry
the people of Louisiana into open re
volt.—N. Y. Sun.
At a very successful seance in Cin
cinnati, the other night, a man burst
into tears when the medium describ
ed very accurately a tall, blue-eyed
spirit standing by him, with light
side-whiskers and his hair parted in
the middle.
“Do you know him!” inquired a
man at his side, in a sympathetic
whisper.
“Know him? I guess I do!” re
plied the unhappy man, wiping his
eyes. “He was engaged to my wife.
If he hadn’t died he would have been
her husband instead of me! Oh,
George ! George!” he murmured, in
a voice choked with emotion, “why
did you peg out ?”
A young giri in Paris named Mar
guerite Beliet, who had been unfor
tunate in a love affair, resolved to
commit suicide. Before going to bed
she filled her chamber with the most
odorous flowers, and having com
pletely closed the room, covered up
her head and w T ent to sleep. She was
found in an unconscious state about
noon the next day, and although by
great medical skill she was recalled
to life, her reason had fled. She im
agines that she has been transported
to the kingdom of flowers and has
become a marigold. “I remember
that I loved a butterfly,” she mur
murs ; “but he has gone away.”
The Japanese government ex
presses its regret to the government
of Germany for the murder of the
German Vice Consul at Hakodadi by
a Japanese subject; and it takes pleas

pan bore no malice whatever toward
his victim personally, and had no
complaint to make of his misconduct;
but he had been offended by a for
eigner and he sallied out, armed with
two swords, to take revenge on the
first foreigner he should meet, and
this was unfortunately the Vice Con

Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, for a long
time the pastor of the Lee Avenue
Baptist church, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
was expelled from the church at a
meeting of the Long Island Baptist
Association, held last week, on a
charge of departing from the faith in
allowing open communion in his
church. At the same time a resolu
tion was adopted debarring the Lee
Avenue church from fellowship with
the association, for sustaining Mr.
Smith in his violation of the laws of
the church.

B AO BLOOD!
“A corrupt tree,” saith the Inspired Volume,
“bringeth forth not good lruit,” nor can cor
rupt blood impart health, beauty and good
flesh, or spirits. “The Blood is the Pile,” and
health can only be enjoyed in its full perfec
tion where the blood is kept in a pure and un
corrupted state, hence the necessity of pare
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyant spirits,
long life and happiness.
AN IMPURE CONDITION OF THE BLOOD,
manifests itself in different forms of disease,
such as Tetter. Salt Rheum, Scald-Head, King
Worm Pimples, Blotches, Spots. Eruptions,
Pustule*, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough
Skin, icurf, Scrofulous Sores and Swellings,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tumors, old
Sores or Swellings, Syphilitic Affections of the
Skin, Throat and Bones, Ulcers of the Liver,
Stomach, Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something is need
ed AT ONCE TO CLEANSE the blood, and neu
tralize the insidious poison that
BURNS LIKE A TERRIBLE FIRE,
as it courses through the veins, sowing seeds
of death with every pulsation.
Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract of Stil
lingia, (or Queen’s Delight! will positively ef
fect this desideratum, expelling every trace of
disease from the blood and system, and leav
ing the skin
SOFT, FAIR AND BEAUTIFUL.
For all diseases ol the BLOOD, LIVER and
KIDNEYS, this Great Vegetable A Iteratin' is
without a rival. It will cure any CHRONIC
or LONG STANDING DISEASE, whose real or
direct cause is BAD BLOOD. RHECJdA
TISM, PAINS IN LIMBS or BONES, CONSTI
TUTIONS BROKEN DOWN by Mercurial or
other poisons, are ail cured by it. For SYPJII
LIS, or SY'PHILITIC TAINT, there is nothing
equal to it. A trial will prove it. It is a most
useful Spring and Fall Purifier of the Blood,
Its safety and innocence have been fully
tested, so that it may be administered to the
most tender infant.
Beware of counterfeits and substitutes.
