Besntlfsl Thought*.
V poet prayod for a N'aotlful thought,
Which he might make the theme
Of a song, n* sw'’** to the ear it caught
Am wood-bird’s music, nature-taught,
Or the laugh from a baby's dream.
To pray is good; to do, is beat!
Make, though thy voice be dumb,
A pure heart home within thy breast,
Where they, as sacred things, may rest,
\nd beautiful thoughts will come.

CONVICT NO. 18,600.
My occupation a few years ago was
that of a newspaper reporter. 1 work
'
•*d a large part of niv time in a peni¬
tentiary, where more than 1600 ]iris
oners were confined. My newspaper
required of mo three “feature” nrti
ele'M h weok, th»! subject to be taken
from the lives and crimes of the men
and women so imprisoned.
r >ne morning, on entering the peni
tentinry, and proceeding to the book
which contained the routine items for
the press, I found this slip:
“No. 18,600. Edward Washburn,
lifo prisoner, sentence com mu ted to
twenty-eight years, six months.”
I Here was something to be investi
gated. On making inquiry 1 found
that Edward Washburn had been re*
eeived on a life sentence in 1870, and
that now, after a lapse of over twenty
years, tho Board of Pardons — the
eternal source of hope for all prisoners
in that State had acted upon his
case, with the above result. Even in
prison good behavior pays.
i Each convict has a certain number
of days deducted from every month of
hiH term, according to the length <>f
his sentence, if ho demeans himself
1
of property. a ‘long-time Thus it man lies to in the power
gain years
of freedom. Allowing Washburn the
deduction each mouth for good con
duct during the entire twenty-eight
years’ sentence, it caused liis time to
expire on the following Sunday.
The next thing to do was to boo
Edward Washburn himself. 1 The son
sations of a mint who has been ft con
viot for twenty years, w ho has bee n as
completely isolated from the outside
world as if he w r oro dead and buried,
nnd who is then resurrected, called
back to life and liberty, cannot be de¬
void of interest to the most indifferent.
T found ni.v man wheeling ashes and
refuse from the cook house. In this
occupation he had been engaged for
seventeen years.
The long years of prison life had had
their effect, The prisoner was an old
man, broken in body and mind, al
thongh he told me his age was 42 I
explained that I had permission to
talk with him, and would like to hear
abouthin history, He smileu the
wea^smile of •nfeebled intelligence,
eat down on liis wlicebarrow and be
gan with pitiful •bedience, which
plainly bespoke the prison disciplin e.
“How did 1 feel w hen I heard I was
pardoned ? Well, it was so sudden
like I jus’ had to sit down. I had give
up all hopes of ever get tin’ out long
ago, but Mainly was true grit, she was,
she never give up.”
His next words were unusual, “I
don’t blame nobody but myself for
bein’ here,” he went on. Who ever
hoard of a convict before, who attrib
- |
utod to himself the blame for being in j
the penitentiary? Most convicts ,,re i
the innocent victims of villainous con- j
spiraeies. I hey never even dreamed
of committing the crime for which
they are serving sentence. Such a
virtuous, upright and deeply wronged
set of nu'ii can be found nowhere else
as iu prison.
I It was all along of mv bulllieaded
ness, but I guess I d better go back to
the beginniu of mv story if you want j
to hear it nil. M hen 1 was about Iff !
years old, Jason Scott ami me took the
job of clearin’ 80 acres of land dose to
where Pauldin’ is now. In them days
tin' tow n was only a clearin’ with a few
log shanties. Jase w as a couple of years
younger than nit*. His father an'mine
had come west from Coluinbianner
county and settled in Pauldin’. We
was the only boys in them parts then
the only young folks exceptin’ Man- :
dy Pilcher.
“We figgered on clearin’ our land
winters. »s our fathers agreed to give
us the time after corn huskin’ was
done, providin’ we helped them good
summers. Jase and me built a cabin !
and there w-c intended livin while we j
was doin our ehoppin and clearin',
There was lots of snow tliat winter and
it come early. Oh un ’ how lKnv T 1 hftte the
winter! TW mow lyin’ out there
in the prison yard brings the hull
thing back to me. and how happy Jasfc
and me was, workin’and talkin, about
what we was goin* to do. 1 can most
see the cabin now. with the doer open
and the snow all around as it looked ’
that winter mornin’.
“Jaae and me teas goin’ out huntin j
that mornin’. . I took , my gun and
started out, leavin’ Jase to follow. I
walked out a little wavs and then
looked around to if Jase I I
see was com

THE MONROE ADVERTISER, FORSYTH, GA-, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1893. -EIGHT PAGES.
I looked at the man and he m m
one in agony. His face was drawn,
and a imllor was there which added to
the prison tan and made it ghastly.
His voice, puerile from the disuse of
twenty years, had ennk into a hoarse
whisper,. H*) Was staring at the great
Btone wall in front of him with dull,
vacunt eyes. He seemed oblivious to
] ; <■ very thing and kept repeating, “T
didn’t mean any harm. I only thought
J I’d shoot for fun, and roebfee that
j would fetch him. ”
j I have looked into murderers’ faces
on the verge of eternity while the
death warrant w as being read, in or
i j der that I might tell the public next
mo ruing whether the lip quivered or
t hr eye grew dim, but as I gazed upon
litis picture of weakness and misery
on the wheelbarrow in front of me it
made mo sick, The victim of an act
done in “fun” and this was fun !
1 he man presently came to himself
, 41l( ] wenttm:
“As 1 shot, June cam* 1 into the door,
and, when the smoke cleared away, I
«Uw him lyin’ just outside in the snow,
face downward. I ’member pickin’
him up and carrvin’ him inside, and
then startin’ out to Pauldfa’ for help,
After that I don’t remember nothin’
until I found I was lyin’ on the ground
uu ‘f 11 crowd of men standin’ round
me. I heard one of ’em say: ‘He
must have tripped up on that grape¬
vine and hit his head on tlie root of
the tree. It ’pears hh if Washburn
and .Scott must have lmd a racket—
°ver that girl most likely— hiuI Wash¬
burn killed Scott. l found out after
ward that a huntin’ party had stopped
at the cabin and found Jane lyin’ on
the floor dead, with my bullet through
his heart. They looked for me and
thmllj HftW my tr , u , kH in the snow nnd
fo]Jmve(1 them . They found me
couplo of miles away in tho woods,
Ivin at the foot of a tree where I fell.
“Some believed mv story and some
didn’t. Them as didn’t b’lieve it said
’twarn’t likely if what I said was true
that I would ’a’ tried to run away.
All I know is I meant to set out for
Pauldin’, but it ’pears as if I’d gone
wrong some way.
“TheJedge, as he said, wanted to
’low me a fightin’ chance and give me
the privilege of enterin’ a plea of
manslaughter. J said it was all along
of my lmllheadedness that l am here
now, and so it was. My lawyer want¬
ed me to plead guilty of the charge
the Jedge offered me. 1 asked him
what it meant. He said it meant that
I killed Jase in a racket, and then give

thwn * ht * ° r like that, but
‘ <M ^ r ‘ LtW(U1 < 1 if - 1 »nJy knew
they wnntod mc tu 1 nmrdered
•1 ase in a racket. I warn’t goin’ to
say I done a thing when I didn’t. I
Hared up aud wouldn’t listen to no
body,
“I couldn't see things right. Well,
tht* trial didn t take long. Everything
went crossways for me. I told my
story and pleaded guilty to nothin’
except that I didn’t mean anything.
I just shot to scare him. I didn’t care
much what they done with me for
that. The other side showed how Jase
had been found dead in the cabin,
how I was found lying in the snow
miles from Pauldin’, as if I hadn’t
been going for help. Then they got
witnesses who swore ns how Jase
and me were jealous 'bout. Mainly,
how I’d asked her to go to a gathering
with me, and she’d gone with Jase.
“It warn’t so, l knowed it, but it
wouldn’t do no good for me to buy it
warn’t. Mainly and me understood
one another, though there warn’t
much betwixt ns then. I s’pose she
might have told me what she knowed
about it on the stand, but I wasn’t
going to have her mixed up in the
thing, I lowed they couldn’t convict
me because what I said was true,
“The jury fetched in a verdict of
murder in the second degree, ami ac¬
to law that meant for life,
“They carried Mandy out of the
room. Seems as though she
it was her fault some way or
Mandy’s been tryin’ to get
out ever since. She said if it
been for her they couldn’t ’a’
no motive and couldn't ’a’ sent
for life. I don't see what good that
a'done when they was all a gin me.”
I made a note of Mandy. She was
material from a reportorial stand
When I went out I asked the
who Mandy was. “So you’ve

Amusement* ami .Manners in China,
j The hard-working inhabitants of the
Celestial Empire, as the Chinese please
to name their immense territory, are
not unlike other nations in their love
of amusements,
The Full-moon Festival makes every
city iu China bright and joyous, The
moon-Cakes are for sale everywhere j
innumerable lamps shine from streets
and gardens and rivers; singing girls
go about the streets, and story tellers
gather crowds around them to listen to
their interesting tales of dead empe
rors and heroes ; Punch and Jndy meet
you at every street corner, and aero
bats and gymnasts perform to admir
ing beholders.
But the grand festival held on tho
fifth day of the fifth moon —the Drag
on Boat Festival—is the great gala day
of China, for the reason that the drag
on is pre-eminently the Chinese sym
bol. It is embalmed in everything
which belongs to the nation. Its lit
erature, its art, its classics, painting
and porcelain are full of it, aud archi¬
tecture presents it everywhere. They
have volumes full of stories relating to
this wonderful creature. It is the im¬
perial emblem of China, so that the
Emperor’s person is always spoken of
as the “Dragon’s person;” his throne
is the “Dragon’s seat;” his bed is the
•‘Dragon’s bedhis countenance, the
“Dragon’s face;” his eye, the “Drag¬
on’s eye and when he is dead they
say lie has ascended upon the Dragon
to be a guest on high, and even his
tomb is called the “Dragon’s tablet. ”
"W o need not be surprised when we see
this Dragon in every size and position
upon the beautiful pottery and expens¬
ive porcelain and various tableware and
mantel ornaments which come from
Canton.—[Harper’s Young People.
Unman Life in the Glacial Epoch.
Tlie period at which the glacial epoch
existed in this country has long been
an interesting problem. With few ex¬
ceptions geologists have united inplac
in^the date within comparatively re¬
cent times, and evidences are multiply¬
ing that the great ice age in North
America actually occurred during the
present era of human life. These evi¬
dences consist in the finding of stone
implements of ancient man in undis¬
turbed glacial gravel.
Among the discoverers of these rel¬
ics is Doctor 0. C. Abbott, a distin¬
guished archaeologist of this city. The
specimens were all found by him in the
Trenton gravels at Trenton, at record¬
ed depths and in undisputably undis¬
turbed glacial deposits. Professor
Putnam also found specimens in the
same locality, and other scientists have
come upon implements of stone in
similar deposits in various parts of the
country. The most convincing, how¬
ever, is a find made some time ago by
W. C. Mills at Newcomerstown, Ohio.
In a glacial gravel terrace in that town,
at the mouth of the Buckhorn creek,
he came upon a stone implement 15
feet below the surface, and which is
now in the Western Reserve Historical
Society of Cleveland. The gravel in
which this relic was found was covered
by six inches of sand, several feet of
supplementary gravel and from three
to five feet of earth.—[Philadelphia

A Witty Answer.
Those whose mission in life it is to
entertain the public are always pestered
by friends and acquaintances for free
seats at their entertainments. There
probably never was a singer or an ac¬
tor or a pianist who was not bored
nearly to death by these people many*
of whom had not the slightest claim
to ask the courtesy they demanded.
A pianist who was pre-eminently
successful in his day, and that day was
not so lar back either, was Rubinstein,
who tiavelled nearly the whole world
over, delighting people with his genius.
He, like all others, was verv much an
noyed , by , requests for , complimentary
tickets, but most of the time he main
tained his composure even though just-
6' irritated. It is told of him that

BOMBAY.
Picturesque Scenes in an Indian
Capital,
Houses, Streets and Shops in the
Native Quarter,
A traveler draws the following bril
liMlt picture of Bombay:
The native city of Bombay is really
an incredible sight. The intense light,
the vivid colors, the extraordinarily
picturesque life, the bustle and move
meut; the narrow, high-tumbled
Bouses with projecting stories, painted
shutters, etc., and alleys simply
thronged with people; Hindoo tern
P^ os * mosques, opium dens, theatres,
clubs; and at night light and open
casements and balconies above with
similar groups; handsome private
Bouses too scattered about, but some
of them now converted into warehouses
or lodging houses, and looking dirty
enough.
Imagine a great house towering
above the rest, with projecting stories
an< ^ balconies and casements—the top
tiers nothing but painted wood and
&i as », like the stern of a huge three
decker. The basement story is open
ail( f fronted with great carved wooden
columns. Here are a few plants stand
t u 8’> an, l among them—liis golden
brown body thrown up against the
gloom behind—stands a young boy of
eight or nine, nearly naked, with sil¬
ver wringlets aud string of blue beads
around his neck.
The next houses are low - , only two
or three stories, and their basements
are let out in tiny shops only a few
feet square each. Here, squatted among
cushions, smoking his long pipe, sits
an old money lender with white cap
and frock, and gold-rimmed specta¬
cles. Near him are boys and assist
tants totting up accounts or writing
letters on their knees. Tlie man is
worth thousands of pounds, but his
place of business is not bigger than a
dining-room table — and there are
scores like him.
The next few shops are all silver¬
smiths— four or live in each shop,
couches and cushions as before, and
cabinets full of trinkets. Further on
they are hammering brass and copper
—a score of shops at least consecutive.
Now we come to an archway, through
which behold a large reservoir, with
people bathing.
Thera is a Hindoo temple here, and
they do not like us to enter; but under
the arch sits an old ascetic. He has
sat cross-legged for so many years that
he can take no other position ; some¬
times for extra penance lie gets them
to lift him up and seat him on a spiked
board; but I fancy he is such a hard¬
ened old sinner that he does not feel
even that much.
He is a well-known character in the
city.
A little further on, in a balcony, is
a group of girls, with henna-black
eyes somewhat dantily got up, and on
the outlook for visitors. Now’ a covey
of Parsee women and children comes
by, brilliant in their large silk wraps
(for even the poorer Parsee females
make a point of wearing these)—pale
green or salmon color or blue—drawn
over their heads and depending even
to their feet—their large dark eyes
shining with fire and intelligence, not
the timid glance of the general run of
Indian women. Many of the Parsee
fair ones, indeed—especially of the
well-to-do classes — are exceedingly
handsome.
If you take this general description
of the native Bombay, aud add to it
a handsome modern city, with fine
banks, post and government offices, es¬
planades, jiarks, docks, markets, rail
stations, ... etc., , and , then add .
way again
to that a manufacturing quarter, with I
scores of chimneys belching out smoke,
ngly stretches of waste land, and all
the dirt of a Sheffield or Birmingham }
(only with coco-palms instead of oak
trees shriveling in the blight); ' then !
distribute through it all a population, .
mainly colored, but of every nation in
the world, from sheerlv naked water
carriers and coolies to discreet, long
raimented Parsees !
and English “gentle¬
men and ladies,” you wall have an idea
of Bombay, the most remarkable city
tliat I have visited in this part of the
world.
