If any person who has a curiosity in solving such things can’t determine the answer, wo refer him to the 12th chapter of Matthew. We will hereafter publish the an swer.—Ed. Herald.] God made Adam out of dust. But thought it best to make me first; So I was made before man, To answer His most holy plan. My body Tie did make complete, But without either hands or feet; My ways and actions did control, Yet I was made without a soul. A living being 1 became, And Adam first gave me a name; Then from his presence I withdrew, And more of Adam never knew. I did my Maker’s laws obey— From them never went astray ; Thousands of miles I run in fear, And seldom on the earth appear : But God in me some power did see, And put a living soul in me; A soul from me my God did claim, And took from me that soul again. And when from me that soul had fled I was the same as when first made— And without hands or feet, or soul, I travel now from pole to pole. 1 labor hard, both day and night— To fallen man 1 give much light. Thousands of people, young and old, Will, by my death, great light behold. No fear of death doth trouble me— For happiness I cannot see; To II eaven I shall never go, Or to the grave or hell below. The holy scriptures you believe, But true or false I can’t conceive/ Although my name is in them found, It is to me au empty sound. Love and Suicide. It becomes our duty to chronicle two tragical events which occur red in Fayette county on the same day of this week. On Monday morning last Mr. Q. S. Price, who lives on White Water Creek, in Fayette county, shot a young mas by the name of Hubbard, wound ing him seriously but not fatally. On the same day of the shootmg Miss Laura Price, daughter of l). S. Price, was missing. No clue to her mysterious disappearance could be found until Tuesday eveuing when her dead body was discovered in White Water Creek, near Price’s old bridge. It is sup posed she committed suicide. We have endeavored to ascer tain the particulars of the tragedy., the cause of the quarrel betweejf Q. S. Price and Hubbard, and tjle motive which impelled the unfor tunate daughter to commit Bie rash act of suicide, but have failed. The whole matter at present ‘js shrouded in mystery, but,in coursp of time, when Price is broil ght t<\ trial for the shooting of Hubbard' the sifting process of the law will most probably bring to light the circumstances as they were at the time they occurred. Report says that Hubbard had been bestowing liis attentions upon Miss Price, the unfortunate suicide, and that the father resolved to put a check to the intimacy that would most probably result. He ordered Hub bard to visit his daughter no more, and Hubbard’s attempt to call again was checked by a discharge from a double barreled shot gun. As the gun was lbaded with buck shot, and turned in the direction of Hubbard, the consequence was as above mentioned—not very gratifying to llubbard. Report farther hints that the affection which existed between this young lady and young man was so great that his having been shot was a blow to her so severe that relief was only found in putting an end to her life. Other rumors are in circulation, the truth of which we doubt, and prefer not to publish.— Griffin Georgian. An economical lowian, who had a toothache, determined to remove his tooth in the ludian fashion. Accordingly he bent down a sap pling in the woods, lay down him self, and attached a stout cord to his tooth and the sappllog. Then he touched the spring, and the next lie knew he had jumped over a grove of about forty small trees and was trying to get out of a small pond that he happened to alight in.

Decisions of tlie Supreme Court. Giles Jackson vs. the State/ Voluntary man-slaughter, Iron* Dougherty. \ Moktso.merv, J.—l. Where in a trial for murder it appeared that deceased had threatened prisoner’s life, whereupon the prisoner left the field where the quarrel took place, returned in about twenty minutes and said, if deceased was going to whip him lie was now ready for him, and deceased ad vanced upon him, pistol in hand, upon which prisoner shot and killed deceased, and the jury re turned a verdict of man-slaughter, this court will not disturb the verdict. 2. Provocation by threats will in no case be sufficient to free the person killing from the crime of murder, or from man-slaughter if the circumstances reduce the hom icide to that grade. 3. Where counsel for prisoner consents that the jury may return their verdict to the clerk, it im plies a consent that they may dis perse after having done so; and if the verdict so returned is one for “man-slaughter,” not specify ing the grade, it is not error in the court to order tliejury to reas semble and change their verdict to either voluntary or involuntary man-slaughter, (and the jury do change it to voluntary man slaugh ter,) unless the prisoner can show that one or more of the jury have been tampered with, or that his case has been otherwise preju diced by reason of the dispersing of tliejury. The tinding in this case is not. contrary to the evidence. Judgment affirmed. G. J. Wright, for plaintiff in error. No appearance for the State. Wm. 11. Brewer, agent for Kapp & David v;s. James M.

The telegraph has mentioned the arrival of Air. Charles Francis Adams, American member of the Geneva Court of Arbitration, in New York, on the 21st iust. lie uippears to have been promptly upon by the interviewers. The Herald reporter makes him say: Mr. Adams—So far nothing has occurred which warrants my say ing that the treaty will be a fail ure. I left London when the greatest excitement prevailed. It was on the evening when Mr. Gladstone made his hasty, incon siderate speech, which I read just before my departure. But since then Mr. Gladstone has modified his language. In his two follow ing speeches he took back much of what he had said at first. Reporter—ls there any likeli hood that the British government will consent to pay the conse quential damages in a lump out side of arbitration. Mr. Adams —The real question is not about paying damages, but about admitting the claim of con sequential damages within the province of the court of arbitra tion. Mr. Gladstone holds that such a claim is not recognized by the treaty, and has also declared himself against the payment of consequential damages in a lump sum. By the reporter for the World, Mr. Adams is represented as ex plaining that the excitement in England was, after all, nothing more than a newspaper war, and that, though not prepared for the question of indirect damages, Englishmen of business with whom he had talked were waiting to hear one sum named, pay it, and have the whole account sponged out. Mr. Adams, says the reporter, sta ted that he thought it reasonable to refer our claims under the treaty to the Geneva court, which could on the evidence reject or approve them, as justice demanded. “COMING EVENTS CAST TIIEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” A? or the Gwinuett Herald. PEN AND INK SKETCHES. Thomas P. Hudson. Mr. Hudson’s family, who sur- U’ive him, are all removed from the dWTiity, except one son-in-law who I have been unable to see; and I have no information as to his age/' when he was born, or the place of his nativity. But this is not ma terial to my purpose. I think he was born in South Carolina, and not far from the year 1800. 1 first recollect him when he was a candidate in this county for the Legislature on the “Gallon Law Ticket,” some thirty years ago, which ticket was defeated. He had not then been long a citizen of the county. A very few years from this time, he was a candidate on the demo cratic ticket, but his party being in the minority in the county, and some prejudices still against him on account of his temperance prin ciples formerly entertained, he was again defeated. After this he was a candidate again and again, for several times without success, but gaining in his vote each time. Ilis defeats never nonplussed him, and he would always express himself as satisfied, and would try it again He differed in this from his po litical friend, 11. P. T., who u|rtm being defeated for the Senate, de nounced, witli bitter expletives, “tiled—d ignorant, wool-hat,, cop peras- breeches, cracked-heel de mocracy as not fit to trust” Mr. Hudson did no such thing as this, but took bis defeats kindly, seemed to be as liappy as if he had been successful (but of course didn’t feci so), and was as genial and cordial to “his lriends as if they had ‘put him through.’” By this course, he made many friends —everybody was pleased and ad mired bis resignation and good temper under defeat. Many were sorry they hadn’t voted for him, but would do so next time, lie finally succeeded and was elected several times. Ho aud the • writer differed in politics until 1860, aud had many a tilt at the Justice’s Courts with each other, but good humorejlly. 1 always found in him “a foeman worthy of my steel.” In 1800 he belonged to the co operation party —opposed seces sion, was nominated a candidate, and was elected from this county to the convention of that year, and voted against the ordinance of secession. Nevertheless, he was as true a Southern Rights man as the “Straightest of the Sect/’ It was a matter of judgment ;and expediency with him in oppos ing it. I give a private incident that lectured in that Convention that ripay interest some of his old friends, i The ordinance was passed by about thirty majority, eighty or ninety of the delegates voting no. It, was desirable on the part of the njßjority, that all—as well those vfcting against, as those voting f&r—should sign the ordinance, and every appliance was brought to bear to effect this result. The argument was used “that it would immortalize the names of all who signed it; that it would be held sacred as the Declaration of Independence; that it would be framed and hung up in the mansions of the rich, and the cab ins of the poor, from the mouu tains to the sea; and worshipped, as a house-hold god, etc , etc.” As a further incentive to this stop, A. 11. 8., the leader of the co-opera tionists in the Convention, offered a resolution, “That we will sign the ordinance, those voting agaiust as well as those voting for it.” A committee, of whom P. W. A. was chairman, was appointed to have the ordinance engrossed upoik parchment, for the signatures 1 1 the delegates, and after a brief p|- riod reported, “that it would lie ready lor the signatured at IS o’clock on Monday next.” The day arrived—the hour—and the Secretary commenced, in solemn form, to call the counties iu alpha betical order, commencing with Appling; and the delegates from that county went up and signed it. Then Baker was called, and so on. It was a slow process, and re quired some time. As the Secre tary got on down near to the G’s (none of the delegates down to this having refused to sign), Mr. Hi left his aeat and went over to one of liia colleagues, and with some apparent trepidation —for it tvai a time that tried men’s souls— renjarked to that colleague, “What shall we do ? Had we nut tet'er !to feign it ? His friend, wlio was a Stubborn, bull-neck man, and "Bo had determined not to be in fllcnoed by the mighty pressure If ought to bear, but whose knees, i# lie had stood up, would hare jDeen somewhat like Belaliazzer’s, /replied to him with some warmth, “You may sign it if you will, 1 shall not!” Mr. 11., feeling somewhat the rebuff, returned to his seat, and soon “Gwinnett” was called, but 110 movement. Again it was called in a louder tone, but no response! Mr. Hudson never signed it, but did his whole duty in helping on the cause of the South, by equip ping the volunteers, and helping their families when the war came; and much more than many who did. A company was raised, mainly through his instrumentality, that bore the name of the “Hudson Guards,” and all of that gallant company that still survive, honor the name. 1 hat same colleague afterward signed it, when the Convention re assembled to adopt the Consti tution of the Confederate States, and became as hot a war man as any, and lost his love —all his love —for the “Star Spangled Banner,” and became a worshipper of the '‘Bonnie Blue Flag.” That song of our flag is a beau tiful song, and should never be forgot by the friends of the “Lost Cause.” //In passing neat the bivouac of a regiment, in the early part of the war, his ear was charmed, and his soul inspired by this song for the first time; and the patriotic Southern sentiments which it breathed, as the words came upon his car: “We are a band of brothers, ami native to the soil, Fighting for our property we’ve gained by honest toil; And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far, Hurrah ! for the Bonnie Blue Flag that beats a single star 1” And then, when the last stanza came floating on the night breeze : “Then cheer, boys, cheer ! raise the joyous shout, For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out ! And let another rousing cheer for Ten nessee be given, The single star of the Bonie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven 1" lie then and there dedicated his whole soul to the Confederacy! But the cause was lost, but so is not the song! “Harry McCarthy’s” name should be immortal for giving us the Bonnie Blue Flag, as is Francis S. Key’s for giving the Star Spangled Banner! But to return. Duiing some of the hard years of the war, and while lie lived, he did his whole duty in letting the people have supplies, especially the women and children whose hus bands and fathers were in the army. He had a store, it will be re membered, and furnished molasses, salt and other necessaries to the poor. Great crowds of women and children and old men would flock there to get these supplies. llis store house was often full of jugs and kegs, too late for the last mo lasses hogshead, but waiting for the next. But for him, it was said by many at the time, and fre quently' spoken of now, many people would have suffered, and some probably would have starved. He had enemies—and all men who are worth a cent have them, too. He had faults—and I never knew a man but had ; but he was honorable and high-minded, and possessed many of the best prin ciples of our nature. lie was a fine business man— fine sense, fine judgment, a flue scribe, good accountant, and a man far above the average in point of intelligence. Ho died, during the war, and was a mem ber of the Legislature at the time. VV.

It is well known that many of the French people think it quite as cheap to have another war as to pay the immciißO claims of Germany, and the precaution* of Bismarck may be justified by his knowledge of the country and his political fore sight as regards its possible fu ture. “Prussia,” says a special dispatch on this subject to a mor ning paper, “reserves to herself the right to judge of and pronounce on any new Government which may succeed that of President Thiers in Franco on the following important point: Whether the Emperor William’s Ministry deem that Government unlikely, by in clination of incapacity; to execute the treaty of peace, aud to dis charge the obligations incurred under it to Germany.” Newspaper Flock. —Buckingham, of the Concordia Empire, is not afraid to speak out meeting: Who pioneers, helps ta build up towns and cities, and makes town proprietors rich ?

Telegraphic Tricks. I wo young men, telegraph ope rators, who hoard at one of our loading third-class hotels, and be ing of somewhat hilarious dispo sition, find great amusement in carrying on conversation with eae.i other at table by ticking on their plates with a knife, fork or spoon. For the information of those not familiar with telegraphy it may be well to state that a com bination of sounds or ticks consti tutes the telegraphic alphabet, and persons familiar with these sounds can converse thereby as intelligi bly as with spoken words. Tho young lightning-strikers, as al ready stated, were in tho habit of indulging in table-talk by this means whenever they desire to say anything private to each other. For instance, No. 1 would pick up the ktiilc and tick off some remark as this to No. 2 : “Why is this blitter like the of fense of Hamlet’s uncle ?’’ No. 2—“ l give it up.” No. I—“ Because it’s rank and smells to heaven.” Of course the joke is not appre ciated by the landlord (who sits close by), because he doesn’t un derstand telegraphic ticks, and probably lie wouldn’t appreciate it much if lie did; but the jokers enjoy it immensely, and laugh im moderately, while the other guests wonder what can be the occasion for this merriment, and naturally conclude the operators must be idiots. A few days ago, while the fun loving youths were seated at breakfast, a stout young man eu tcred the dining-room with a handsome girl on his arm, whose timid, blushing countenance show ed her to be a bride. The oupln had, in fact, been married but a day or two previous, and had come to San Francisco from therf home in Oakland or Mud Springs, or some other rural village, for the purpose of spending the honey moon. The telegraphic tickers commenced as soon as the husband and wife had seated themselves. No. 1 opened the discourse as follows: “What a lovely little pigeon this is along side of me—aint sin-?” No. 2 —“ Perfectly charming; looks as if butter would melt in her mouth. Just married, I guess. Don’t you think so?” No. I—“ Yes, 1 should judge she was. What luscious lips she’s got! If that country bump kin was out of the road, I would give he' - a hug and a kiss just for luck.” No. 2 —“ Suppose you try it any how. Give her a little nudge un der the table with your knee,” There is no telling to what ex tent the impudent rascals might have gone but for an amazing and entirely unforeseen event. The bridegroom’s face had flushed, and a dai k scowl was on his brow du ring the progress of the ticking conversation; but the operators were too much occupied by each other to pay any attention to him. The reader may form some idea of the young men’s consternation when the partner of the lady pick ed up his knife and ticked off the following terse but vigorous rncs' -e: i “This lady is my wife, and as soon as she gets through her breakfast I propose to wring your nee ke- you insolent whelps.’ The countenances fell very sud-. denly when tin’s message com menced. By the time it ended they had lost all appetite and ap preciation of jokes, and slipped out of the dining-room in a very rapid and unceremonious manner. The bridegroom, it seems, was a telegraph operator, and “knew how it was himself.” The story comes from Franco that a beautiful but strong-minded lady living in Boulogne sent a challenge to the publisher of a humorous journal, who had "twice concerned himself with her private affairs.'’ A forma! acceptance of the duel was returned, the choice of arms was waived, but a decided preference for those of the lady lierselt was expfessed. Reconcili ation followed and the wedding trip is to the United States. |>l » A Nashville negro set the house in an uproar by rising up and shout ing out," “What all die mean!” after he had been shrouded for ihs tomb.
