When the gate of the cell w here the prisioner, John Breckinridge (colored), against whom is the serious charge of rape upon Miss Nannie Berry, was con- lined, was opened, it i) said that the cul prit was lying as if dead, and a colored brother-prisoner said: “He’s not dead, but only ’posauming,” when he was has tily led out amid a few stout, grum and dare-devil cheers, and arm-in-arm with two stalwart men, strongly guarded in front, rear and the flanks, quickly marched to Carlisle’s favorite hanging- placo, a bridge across Brushy Fork, on the Jookstown pike, a quarter of a mile from the city limits ; and here on the bridge, amid the mob and vast crowd of eager spectators, in response to a call for a speech, the prisoner in a low and boy- i)h voice stated that he was innocent of the charge, and said that the crime was committed by Mort Robinson, a fellow- companion, who, by the way, was able to prove an alibi by substantial witness es. It was thus that John Brecken- ridge was pushed from a beam of the bridge with his hands pinioi.'ed behind him and a white cotton rope around his neck, and ushered into eternity with a lio upon his lips and made to dance the round dances in the air in a whirligig ntyle, without music or a partner. He foil with a very light thud, his stature being low and body very spare, perhaps 130 pounds in weight; the rope made no fidrlle-string-like sound, and those who did not see the shove-off, didn’t know tho performance had com menced. He quickly released his bands, and was about to climb the rope, but was drawn up tho second time and dropped, and, with neck broken and twisted rope, he once more spun in tho *ir, and the pulsations were observed from time to time until he was pro nounced dead, and the mob very quietly dispersed, and the culprit left to swing m a sad yet demonstrative warning that * ™ u gn-shod, retributive justice will overtake all imitators of John Breckin- tmge, colored, who came from Hender- ITtk w ho had but recently attempt- u ,® ?K tra 8 e °f a colored woman near North Middletown.

Prince Louis Napoleon’s Prayer Tho Sun. A prayer in the hardwriting of the Prince Imperial has been found among the papers in his desk at Camden Place. It is published by the Morning PoEt, which adds: “The elucidation of his high character alone justifies the publi- catin of a sacred document, which will prove to the world how intimately he was penetrated with all the feelings which most become a Christain, and which give higher hopes than are afford ed by the pains and perils of this transi tory life. The following is a transla tion : “My God: I give to Thee my heart, but give to me faith. Without faith there is no strong prayer, and to pray is a longing of my soul. I pray not that Thou shouldst take away the obstacles of my path, but that Thou mayst per mit me to overcoome them. I pray not that Thou shouldst disarm my enemies, but that Thou shouldst aid me to con quer myself. Hear, 0 God! my prayer. Preserve to my affeotion those who are dear to me. Grant them happy days. If Thou only givest on this earth a cer tain sum of joy, take, 0 God 1 my share, and bestow it on the most worthy, and may the most worthy, be my friends. If Thou seekest vengeance upon man strike me. Misfortune iB converted into happiness by the sweet thought that those whom we love are happy. Hap piness is poisoned by the bitter thought, while I rejoice those whom I love a thousand times better than myself are suffering. For me, 0 God I no more happinesss. Take it from my path. I can only And joy in forgot'ing the past. If I forgot those who are no more, I shall be forgotten in my turn, and how sad the thought that makes one say, ‘Time effaces all.’ The only satisfaction seek is that which lasts forever, that which is given by a tranquil conscience. O my Goa! show me every where my duty lies, and give roe strength to ac complish it always. Arrived at the term of my life, I shall turn my looks fearlessly to the past. Remembeance will not be for me a long remorse. Then I shall bo happy. Grant, O God! that my heart may be penetrated with the conviction that those whom I love, and who are dead, shall see all my actions. My life shall be worthy of their witness, and my innermost thoughts shall never make them blush.’’ A Field for Cheap-Cake Conway. Life among the Fall river mill op- eratives is pictured by the Boston Her aid as a round of drudgery. They live in crowded and .often cheerless tene ments, although the common laws of health are not generally disregarded, and some of the homes are beautified with pictures, carpets and flowers. Men, women and children work together in the mills, and the home is little more than a lodging in most cases. The wives and mothers are bound to a per petual slavery. They work as hard as anybody in the mill, and when the mill day is over, their duties become terri bly onerous. Upon reaching home sup per iB to be swallowed, and then, while the rest of the family find rest or recre ation, all there is of housekeeping is performed by the wife, occasionally as sisted by her children, if they are old enough. There will be no time next morning for cooking breakfast, and it must be looked out for over night. Din ner is to be taken to the mill, and its substantial materials mast be cooked during the evening. While the kettle is bubbling, or the frying-pan sizzling, or the oven baking, or all together are sending out their heats, the washing of the bed and personal clothing for the household may be performed, the old man’s trousers mended, or the chil dren’s clothes made or repaired. If one of the brood is sick it may also receive attention at the same time. The wife and mother thus toils for her family, living a life ths like of which no South ern slave ever dreamed about. Intem perance too commonly adds its sorrows to the rest.—Pittsburg Post. The Pennsylvania Democrats Harrisburg, July 10.—The Demo cratic State Convention met and organ ized here to-day. The opera-house was about half filled with dolegateB. Reso lutions were adopted favoring the sub ordination of the military to civil au thorities in all things, and denying the right of the Federal Government to maintain the army to be used for polit ical purposes, demanding a free ballot, asserting the fraudulent nature of Hayes’ election and denouncing his abuse of the veto power as an insult and menaoe to the country. The financial plank favors a currency of gold and silver and of paper convertible into coin. The platform also opposes all subsidies and appropriations by the Government for other purposes than the public service, and promises protection and support to labor, and charges tho bankrupt condi tion of the State finances to the mis management of the Republican party. D. B. Barr, of Alleghany, was nominated for State treasurer by acolamation, and the convention adjourned siite die. The last Missouri Legislature passed a law making it a felony for any officer of a bank to accept deposits in the m- stitution if he knows it to be m a fail ing condition,, and imposing tho same punishment a9 that for stealing money. Under this statute several St. Louis bankers are to be tried. The Nation on Governor Cham berlain. Prom tho Nation, July l«th. The Fourth of July oration has been a source of trouble in Springfield, Mass., where the committees invited Mr. Dan iel H. Chamberlain, some time ago Governor of South Carolina. The se lection was an unfortunate one for di vers well known reasons, but Mr. Chamberlain had the good taste to avoid stalwart matters and confine himself to reflections in which men of all parties could concur. The Spring- field Republican very properly objected strongly to the choice of the committeee for reasons, among others, drawn from the history of Chamberlain’s official career in South Carolina. This drew forth s Offense of him from Mr. M. P. Knowlton, which is a curiosity in its way, viz: That he was a “very young man” (33) when elected Attorney-Gen eral; that he behaved well when Gov ernor in 1875 and 1876; and that the thefts and frauds of the commissions on which he served were known before he was elected Governor. The infer ence here suggested is that the constitu ency which elected Moses, when “speak er and thief,” to be “Governor and pub lic robber” (New York Times), would not have elected Chamberlain had they believed him guilty of complicity iu the Soott-Kimpton frauds. The Spring- field Republican, we see, makes no mention of Chamberlain’s published letters to Kimpton and others, whioh are all but conclusive evidence against him, and the authenticity of which he has not dared to deny. In fact, the efforts of the party,to keep him afloat as a martyr are an odious reminiscence of of one of the most disgraceful episodes in political history. The Creed fox a Farmer. The agriculturists of Canada met in convention not long ago and adopted for themselves the following creed: We believe in small farms and thor ough cultivation. e believe the earth- loves to eat as well as the owner, and ought, therefore, to be well manured. We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore, in deep plowing, and enough of it. All the better if it be a subsoil plow. We believe in large crops which leave land better than they found it, making both the farm and farmer rich at once. We believe that every farmer should own a good farm. We believe that the fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence; without these, lime, gypBum and guano will be of little use. We believe in good fences, good farm houses, good orchards, and good chil dren enough to gather the fruit. We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a dairy, and a clear conscience. We believe that to ask a man’s advice is not stooping, but of muoh benefit. We believe that to keep a place for everything, and everything in its place, saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools and keeping them in order. We believe that kindness to stock, like good shelter, is a saving of fodder. We believe that it is a good thing to keep an eye on experiments, and note all, good and had. We believe that it is a good rule to sell grain when it is rsady. Success in the Stock Harket. Few people understand how large fortunes are amassed so rapidly in stock operations. Messrs. Lawrence & Co., bankers, N. Y., have just published “two unerring rules for success,” and full details, so that any one can operate. Mailed free. Their new combination system of dealing in stooks is wonder fully profitable. By this method thou sands of orders, in various sums, are pooled into one immense capital, and co-operated as a mighty whole, thus se curing to each shareholder all the ad vantages of vast capital and best skill. Profits divided every 30 days. $15 would make $75 profit, $100 would re turn $1,000, or 10 per cent, on the stock in the month, and so on, according to the market. A New York fashion ed itreas and prominent newspaper corre spondent made over 375 per cent, profit on an investment, Ootober 5tb, 1878. Many others are doing as well or bet ter. Large or small amounts can be used with equal proportionate success by this system. All kinds of stocks and bonds wanted. Government bonds supplied.
