fORSYTH. OEOKGIA
Medical life in England is subject tr
increasing mortality Act rding to sta
tistics the death rate among physician 9
is higher than among other professional
men or among men in fairly unhealthful
•ccupations. Contagion- diseases of all
•orts except smallpox are dangerous to
physicians.
Two littie Cleveland lads, who.se
father is in the work house and whose
Bother is dead, keep hou-e alone, the
cider doing the hoiwworh as well as the
averag - housekeeper can do it. He say
that la-fore his mother died she taught
him housework, i.ying that after she
was dead she wanted him to take < are of
his father and little brother.
The death of a sea captain recently was
ascribed by medical authorities to blood
poisoning, caused by his vessel carrying
a cargo of nitrate of soda. The sailors
were affected with what the called
rheumati un. The captain, being in the
a*t*r cabin, suffered the full force of the
evaporation of nitre It i -aid that four
captain in tic emp >v oi a leading east
ern .shipping firm hav' died within a few
years from the same < a use.
The story of a trike, as told in the re
milts of tin- Hungarian riots in the coke
region, is a dreary record. About ten
lives were lost, and some twenty persons
arc probably injured for life. During
the thirty days the conflict lasted the
12,000 men were idle •w ho should have
been earning $1 11 a day, a total of
♦507, 800. Beyond this is about $15,-
000 owing for rents an i provisions dur
*ug this (eriod, and a loss by destruc
tion of property not far from $150,000.
The value of the hardware produced
in the l nited Mates eagh year is now
Jila-ut $00,0; 10,000. and half of it is made
In Connes ilcii This docs uot include
firearms, agricultural implements, cut
nails or ornamental ironwork. These,
with other articles which may be regard
ed by some as belonging to the list of
hardware, would swell the total to far
above $100,000,000. The manufacturers
of England, France and Germany send
u about $2,000,000 worth annually.
A Leipzig physician estimates that in
TV estern Europe the consumption of
opium exceeds from twenty to thirty
times any amount that could possibly bo
explained by thcrapeuti • exigencies. En
courage:! by this increase of numerical
strength, the opium eaters of the larger
cities have begun to drop all 'masks and
call for a dose of their pet jioison as they
would for a glass of so la water. The
doctor p e lifts that in twenty-five years
'tVxifj large town will have a public poison
•hop. s
A comparison oi ancient and modern
firearms shows, that the bullets ol
our far-reaching rifles are continually
getting smaller and lighter. The Span
ish escopas of the seventeenth century
final balls weighing marly three ounces;
the oldest donner-birehsen fired just five
bullets to the pound. Against such pro
jectiles the. panoply of a mail-clad knight
was, of course, as useless as a paper col
lar, but the continued attenuation ol
those projectiles may yet lead to the ro
introduction of defensive armor.
The Chronica Franco-Brazilira proves
that the legal provisions for the gradual
abolishment of slavery have practically
become dead-letter laws. Negro chil
dren are bought and sold as before;
many provincial papers announce slave
auctions with the spee.al promise of '•un
conditional sales.” There are Brazilian
seaports where even a cargo of African
contrabands could rely on the patronage
of discreet customers, for in the great
forest empire of the tropics, the nominal
control of a civilized government goes
hand in hand with a good deal of feudal
independence.
Natur< publishes an uncommonly large
story about herring jumping out of the

It see ns a great pity that the chemists
and uiicH's. o.'ists should come in and de

eye, it U neccs-arily pure and healthful.
It has been demonstrated by numberless
experiments in this country and in Ger
many that ba term, or germs of disease,

A no period in her p.cvions history lin*
Atlanta had wit lin her borders sn h a host.
From every s ction of the state, from Florida.

from a score of other st-vtts. ine m ing even
those of the far north, the people c:mi'-to do
lion t to the lamented Hi’! ami to Jefferson
Davis.
Mr. Davis' arrival caused great excitement,
and thestucts along which his carriage passed
were strawn with flowers.
AT THK STATUE.
Very early in the morning the crowd became
enormous. I' was with difficulty that one
could pass along thestreof. while a crowd im
penetrably dense pressed about the rope* that
wre arranged across th' several streets to
keep ibe crowd away from the statu\
Ihe platform pre euted a jay i.ppcaranee.
Fags innumerable fluttered in the breeze
whi'e a gaily decorated canopy as a shelter for
the speakers proved quite an ornament.
Jus: about eleven o’clock successions of
deafening shouts proclaimed the approach of
the procession.
Mr. H. W. Grady, advancing to the center of
the speakers’ stand, said :
‘•Fnencs and fellow citizens : We have met
here to-day to honor the memory of a great
man. To perpstuare his virtues iu our hearts
a tut fix his manly beau'v in enduring in>rbltj
lit s vat assemblage, in-piling in its nundxit
and in the ardor ot its sympathies unequal *d
by an. that ever stood on Geo gia’s soil, hon
ors itself, no less than him, in gathering at the
base of this statue. Callous must be the heart
that is not- ennobled bv the touch of this hour's
inspiration. Sluggish the soul that does not
kindle with new aspirations as the morning
sun catches the gleam of this marble, and this
mute interpretation of a great life is given to
the morning air. And if in the mercy of G >d that
great soul, enthroned beyond the skies, is per
mitted to look upon this thrilling scene, and
read the hearts of this loving multitude in the
swift revelation of that one g snee. in that one
chapter of fa hornless love, it would find rec
ompense for the crosses and trials of an ardu
ous life and the agonies and sufferings of an
heroic death.
In behalf of the committee, I ask your silent
and earnest attention while General Cement-
A. Evans, belovtd triend and pastor of our la
mented dead, invokes the bins ing of A 1 mighty
God on this scene, this people and these cere
monies.”
After a touching prayer by General Evans,
Dr. R. Spalding, pre ident of the Hill 51 nu
nient Association, was introduced and made an
eloquent speech. At its conclusion he said :
“And now. sir, permit me, in behalf of the
association which I have the honor to repre
sent. to present to the state, through you, her
chief magistrate, this statue of one who’ not
less signally illustrated the honor of Georgia
than her most distinguished sons from Ogle
thorpe, the founder of the commonwealth, to
Toombs, the dead Mirabeau of the south.”
At a signal from Dr. Spalding, Captain J.
F. Burke removed the veil and the statue of
Hill was revealed to the great crowd. A shout
of applause went up.
Tnis speech was ably responded to by Gov. A.
H. McDaniel, of Georgii. and then Hon. J. C.
C. Back, the cho en orator of the occasion,
was introduced and delivered a tel.ing oration
iu honor of the departed Hill.
Then am and the most stupendous cheers Mr.
Davis advanced to tlie edge of the platform and
spoke as follows:
Ladies and Gentleman : You have been, I
believe, generally apprised that no address was
to be expected of me. I cams here to silently
and reverently witness the unvei.ing of this
statue of my friend. I came as one who wanted
to show his rx speci> for a man who in victory
or defeat was ever the same—brave, courageous
and true. It I were asked from Georgia’s his
tory to name three men who were fair types of
Georgians, I would take Oglethorpe the'benev
olent, Troup the dauntless and Hill the faith
ful. [Great applause.] It is known to you
generally, it has been told to you to-day what
part he took iu the struggle which has just
paisCk.t. to, j> U t -j ( j f ri n
able to gpeak, I should feel that nothing could >
properly supplem nit the great orations to
which you huvz lhtened. There is nothing to
be added. I- is complete. Bui there is
something I may iyof my dead friend. If he
was the last to engage in the war belween the
states, he was the last to give it up. If he did
not precipitate the controversy he stood by the
wreck of our fortunes, and it was his voice
that was ra st-d loudest and rang clearest for
Georgia to assert her sovereignly. When, un
der the power of the conquering enemy—for
they were still such—when paralyzed by defeat
and poverty our people seemed to shrink back,
hopeless of the luture and despondent of the
past, he wrote those notes on ilie situation
that first kindled the fires of hope in Georgia
and elsewhere. His voice rang out and called
the people to remember that their cause was
not lost; it. was the eternal cans, of truth and
justice, and lie invoked Georgians to renew the
struggle in such form as has led to the inde
pendence you now enjoy. But I dare not
speak of Hi 1 psrsonally. From lie beginning
to the end of the controversy he w.is one on
whose shoulder I could place my hand and feel'
that its foundation was as firm as marble. He
had nothing to ask, buthe had much to give, and
when I was the last from the south who could
excite anv expectation of benefit.it wa3 Hill
whose voice rose triumphant in the senate and
mashed the ingenious yankee down. [Great
cheering.] My friends, ours is the day of
peac a . The friend whose memory we have met
to honor taught us the lesson of peace as well
as resistance. He taught us that it was
through peaceful methods we were to regain
our rights. We have trodden the thorny path
and passed over the worst part of the road.
Let us still remember fealty to every promise we
have given, but still let us love Georgia and lxer
righty and may her rights of freedom and
independence, such as your fathers gave you,
be yours and your children’s forever.
Ai Mr. Davis eono uded he was led back to
his seat by Dr. Spalding, while the vast sea
of people sent tip cheer after cheer.
SIXSS DAVIS INTRODUCED.
While the cheers that followed thr- speech of
Mr. Davis w-re still ringing loudly. Mr. Grady
and Dr. Spalding approached Miss Davis and led
her forward before the great crowd. The

| A BATTLE WITH CONVICTS.
BLOODY REVOLT 1\ I CAXAI)F4\
FLMTLXTI ARY.
1.000 Prisoners Keep tbe GiinrJs a! H V
lor -More Than Two Hours.
A most startling revolt took place at S$
Vincent de Paul Provincial Penitentiary
about fifteen miles from Montreal, the othei
afternoon. The contest lasted for nearly fcw<
hours, and resulted iu the killing of one con
vict and wounding of sixteen other i>erson.-.
some of them fatally, including the wa-den
of the institution.
Iu this penitentiary were c >nfined about i(
thousand prisoners, comprising the most
desperate chara ters in Canada. The w ork
of the different gangs was iu progress a
usual, when su lie lly a convict stood up in
the open yard ami held up one hand. It wa
a preconcerted signal, for in an
instant each gang which had
been expecting the movement leipsl
upon their un.suspo''i :ng guard and quickly
overpowered him. They took bis arms from
him and tied him up. Fifteen or sixteen men
were thus disposed of, an 1 then th * convicts
were in posse sion of tbe inteii r of the jail.
They were also am o l with the guard • re
volvers aid ammunition, and almost inline
diatelv had Chef Warden Lavioiette a pri
soner, he. too, being overpowered and tied.
Tlie convicts then arm and themselves w ith'
crowbars and other implements and moved
toward the walls to break down the gates.
There were eight or nine men on the walls
armed w ith rides, and these few ordered the
criminals back to their cells. The desperate
convicts continue I to advance, holding up.
Chief War leu Lavioiette in front of them as
a target. The other wardens, boun l baud
and foot, were also use l iu t he sain „* way.
“Never mind me. men; fire away arid do
your duty,” shouted Chief Warden Lavio-
lette.
Soeingthat the men be-itoted, lie reiterated
liis to itmaud. fearle s of the armed ruffians
about him. Then commenced a fusilade. and
tlie bullets whistl 'd back and forth between
the revolting convicts ami the gua ds for some
time. At last tbe coavi ts determined to carry
tlie walls by storm, and procure l lad lers.
Convict Viau, French Canadian, led the
storming party, covered by his fellow con
victs, who peppen and away with the captured
revolvers. He had almcs gained the para
pet when a guard fired point blank at him
and he fell to the ground, where be lay as if
shot, but was really only badly scare land
shocked by his full.
Convict Corriveaa then sprang up the lad
der, to fall dea 1 the next instant with a bul
let through bis heart. Revolvers were of no
use against rifles, aud the death of Corriveau
dampened the ardor of tbe convicts, yet still
thev fought on.
Meantime assistance had been telephoned
for to the Montreal Robce Headquarters, and
a number of men, under Chief Cullen, were
at once dispatched to the prison.
The firing had startled the villagers, but
thev - could render no assistance.
fflie guards on the wall stood to their
posts, and only one of them—Private Chart
rand—was hit.. He received a bullet in his
leg.
The plucky Chief Warden lay where his
men could see him bleeding to death—his
jaw shattered, a ball through his groin, an
other through the body and a
fourth through his arm. The guards
picked off their men with such celer
ity that Convict Holton was weltering
in liis blood, Con-. i t Monday shot through
both arms and Convict Norman wounded
badly in two places, and eight or ten others
were wounded. Then the convi to threw
away their arms and rushed for cover to
their cells. They were promptly locked in
aud tlie guards were on-e more in possession.
