-lie \\ estem Union Telegraph Com
pnny own nearly all the telegraph lines
in the United Jtates.
An opposition line from New York
to New Orleans is being buit. It is
already constructed as far as Macon,
and the ermpany are building it along
the line and on the rigid of way of the
Sonthwostern Railroad Company to
Griffin.
The suit was brought in tli Superior
Coui j of Bibb oounty to injoin and re
strain flie Southern & Atlantic Com
pany from building this line on the
right of way of the railroad. It is un
derstood that the'Western Union Tele
graph Company is the party really in
terested and brings the suit—though
tjie name of the railroad company is
used—we suppose by consent of its
officers. This is said to be the case
though we know not.
It if alleged, if we understnd it cor
rectly, on on the one hand; that the
opposition to the construction of the
new line is opposition to competion,
which has reduced the price of tolls for
telegraphic dispa elies about one half
wheroever the Southern and Atlantic
line has beou erected and put to work ;
while on the other hand, it is said that
the suit is only an injunction to restrain
the Southern and Atlantic Company
from erecting a line on the right of
way of the Railroad Company.
It is further alleged that the gener
al laws of the State give this company
the right to erect its lines of telegraph
on any property in the State, and
makes it liable for damages—the same
as allowing a city the authority to lay
out a street through any man’s proper
ty, or a railroad eo locate its track on
any man’s land, and settle the damages
in the way pointed out by law.
* #
This case was brought before the
Judge of the Superior Court for the j
Macon Circuit, whe refused to grant
the injunction, whereupon the plaintiff
(the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Southwestern Railroad)
appealed to the Supreme Court. It
was called on Thursday and the argu
ment concluded to-day. It is one of
oreat interest to the entire mercantile 1
o
and business portion of the country.—

An Interesting Relic. —Among the
many interesting curiosities secured
for the university museum at Canton,
Mo., is a receipt of Henry Clay, for
services rendered as counsel in 1803,
and couched in the following words :
“Received of Mr. John Gray ten
pounds, being my fee for the heirs of
David Henderson, in a suit in Bourbon
Circuit Court, brought by Markham
apd others against McGehee and others,
bll \ March, 1803. Henry Clay.”
It is wriUen in a clear, bold hand,
and was found amO’ig' the papers of
David Henderson, grandfathei of our
venerable townsman, D. P. Henderson,
w ho holds the original voucher, and
proposes to have it neatly framed for
the university museum.— Fan's Ky.

It is said there are several hundred
negroes employed at the Navy lard,
Norfolk, Ya., receiving high wages to
do nothing. A government steamer
is on hand, and the object is to trans
port them from one State to another
and vote them during the coming
election. This is doubtless the pro
gramme of the administration, and

THOM ASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1872,
Attfmpt of a Lunatic to Murder
IDs Wife and Daughter. —Patrick
Leavy, aged fifty years, living at No.
East Ninth street, who is on a
month’s leave of absence from the Lun
atic Asylum on Ward’s Island, attempt
ed this morning to murder his wife and
daughter with a meat saw.
At about 6:30 this morning the other
inmates of the house heard cries of
murder proceeding iroin the rooms oc
cupied by Leavy’s family, and officer
Patrick Ginley, of the Eleventh pre
cinct, was summoned. He requested
some of the bystanders to assist him
in seeming Leavy, but they refused,
and Ginley, putting his shoulder to the
door, forced it open, when he saw Lea
vy holding his daughter Mary by the
hair with one hand, while with the
other he held a meat saw, ready to
strike. Blood was streaming from sev
eral severe wounds on the head of the
girl, who was wild with terror. The
officer immediately seized the madman,
when a desperate fight ensued, the lat
ter trying to obtain possession of Gin
ley’s club, while the men, who were in
the hall way, stood looking on without
attempting to render the officer any
assistance" The two fought their way
to the stairs, wlisn both men tumbled
down together; but the officer soon re
gained his feet, and grasped his pris
oner, whom he succeeded in taking to
the station-house.
\\ hen the officer returned to the
scene of the attempted murder he found
that Leavy had also attempted to
kill his wife, who received two serious
scalp wounds, one of wnieh fractured
skull and will probably prove fatal
The daughter was shockingly cut about
the head, and but for the timely assis
tance of officer Ginley she would un
doubtedly have been killed.
An Experiment in Mechanics.—
Max Adder tells the following: “We
do not remember that we ever told the
story of Parkinson’s gunboat. Parkin
son was in the navy, and during the
war he conceived an idea that he could
build a small and light gunboat which
would carry a heavy gun, so that ex
peditions could be undertaken up shal
low’ rivers. The department gave him
permission to try the experiment, and
he built a boat in accordance with his
theory. The first time she wrent into
action Avas down in the waters of South
Carolina The commanding officer of
the troops upon one oftlie islands sent
Parkinson up stream with his craft,
with orders to fire at a certain fort.—
Parkinson paddled up fjr about two
miles, and then loading up his one ;
great gun he aimed at the rebel works. ;
It was very singulr, but entirely true,
that the boat was so light that the ball
in the gun remained stationary, while
the boat was fired away from it two
miles down stream, where it lit among
the Union troops and killed three pri
vates and a corporal. The ball was
afterward found in the stream exactly*
at the spot where the guboat stood.”
Fashion. —The London Lancet says:
Fashion kills more than toil or sorrow.
Obedience to fashion is a greater trans
gression of the laws of woman’s nature,
a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution than the hardships
of poverty and neglect. The slave
woman at her task still lives and grows
old. and sees two or three generations
of her mistress pass away. The wash
erwoman, with scarcely a ray of hope
to cheer her in her toils, will live to
see her fashionable sisters all extinct.
The kitchen maid is hearty and strong,
when her lady has to be nursed like a
sick baby. It is a sad truth that fash
ion-pampered women are worthless for
all good ends of life; they have but
little force' of character; they have
still less power of moral will, and quite
as little physical eergy. They live for
no great ends. They are dolls, formed
in the hands of miliners and servants,
to be fed to order. If they have chil-
dren, servants and nurses do all but I
conceive and give them birth; and
when reared, what are they ? What
do they amount to but weak scions of
the old stock ? "W ho ever heard of a
fashionable woman’s child exhibiting
any virtue and power of mind for which
it became eminent ? Read the biogra
hies of our good men and women.—
None of them had a fashionable moth

One of those old-time weddings took
place in our town, says the Uniontown
(Pa.) standard, a few days ago, and it
is not our design to make any remarks
but state the facts just as they oecured.
A young gentleman and lady, strang
ers to everybody here, called on the
’squire to get married. The young
mail was carry his shoes in his hands
on accout of a stone bruise, and had
on his shoulder a long, narrow sack;
in one end lie had something in appear
ance to wearing apparel, and in the
front end he had a small dog, with its
nose sticking out of a hole. The young
lady had in her arms one of those large
Maltese cats, with a pink ribbon around
its neck, fastened with a neat breast
pin. When they came to the office the
yound man refused to go in, but she,
taking hold of his coat, srid, “Come
on, I ain’t afraid.” Finally he went
in. She says, “’Squire, we want to
get married-” “Hold on,” said the
young man, “I want to know’ how
much this job costs.” The price was
agreed on, and in the meantime maiiy
had garhered, and tw-o of the crowd
acted as attendants. While the cere
mony was going on one of the attend
ants cried out, “Hold on, this fellow
ain’t on the right side.” Being proper
ly placed, the ’squire proceeded, and
the two were made one, and left, no
one knew wlicro, being entire strang
• ers.
A California Judge’s Dilemma.—
A lawyer of Vallejo, whom, not to
mention any names, we will call Judge
C., got into an amusing predicament
yesterday. A woman whose husband
had been sentenced for misdemeanor
to a term in the county jail, appeared
in one of our courts with three small
children at her heels, and liegged his
Honor to have her better half released,
urging that she was destitute, and knew’
not how to feed her children or herself
while he was in prison. The court
assured the woman of its inability to
help her in the matter, and referred
her to Judge C., who was present.
As the latter had secured her husband’s
conviction, the woman thought that he
could also procure his pardon, and w as
therefore much confounded when he,
too, told her that thing couldn’t be
accomplished. “Well,” she ejaculated,
half dispairingly, half resigned, “If
you won’t do that, you’ll have to keep
these young ones until his time is out,
for I’ve got nothing to feed ’em on.”
The Judge"thought the matter a good
joke until he started to leave the office,
when the w oman told her little bless
ings to “go along with the gentleman,
children.” The little cherubs were
obedient, and followed their new
ly constituted father with as much
affection as if they had been part of
his own bone and flesh. The Judge
w’as in a dilemma ; the children stuck
like burs, and no way offered of getting
rid of them. He finally effected a
compromise by offering the woman a
sack of flour in consideration of her
“calling her children off,” and again
assuming guardianship.
A Touch of Romance. —A wedding
which had about it quite a touch of ro
mance, took place in this city recently.
Oil the da}* previous a young man ar
rived in this city from Sail Jose and
stopped at the Capital Hotel. In con
versation with v gentleman, he inform
ed him that a young lady was to arrive
from the East on the afternoon train,
whom he had never seen, but w ith
whom he had been corresponding, and
that they were to he married here.
When the train arrived the blissful and
expectant young man was in waiting
at the depot, and soon recognized his
future wife, probably by some sign
that had been previously agreed upon
in their correspondence. They did not
go into ecstacies at the meeting, and,
in fact, they did not seem to realize
that they were the hero and heroine of
a “romance in real life.” Their lips
met in one long lingering kiss, and
then they quietly entered the Capital
omniPhs and were driven to the hotel.
In the afternoon they proceeded to the
residence of the Rev. Mr. Gober and
were made one, for better or worse,
etc. One who did not know the cir
cumstances of the case would have
supposed from their bearing that they
had been acquainted for years. They
returned to the hotel, partook of an
excellent dinner, and left the city for
San Jose by the evening train.—Sac

Female Loyliness. —Do not think
you can make a girl lovely if you do
not make her happy. There is not one
restraint you put on a good girl's na
ture—there is not one check you give
to her instincts of affection or of effort
—which will not be indelibly written
on her features with a hardness which
is all the more painful because it takes
away the brightness from the brow of
virtue. The perfect lovliness of a wo
i man’s countenance can only consist m
the majestic peace -which is found in
the memory of happy and useful years,
full of sweet records, and from the
joining of this with that yet more
. majestic* childishness, which is still full
of change and promise, opening always,
modest at once, and bright with hope
of better things to be won and to be
bestowed. There is no old age where
there is still that promise; it is eternal
youth.

Llncil Insiile.
I was in a drug store in Elmira,
when in rushed a fellow who called
for a pound of camphor and downed
the whole of it. It was surprise par
ty to me, and I said, ‘‘What the
deuce did he do that for? ’
“\\ liv," said drugs, “he is lined.”
“Lined,” says I, “what is that?”
Then he told me.
Some years ago a gentleman who
was about to give a dinner party
spent a whole week showing his ser
vant how to make mock turtle soup.
When the day she made the mock
and the turtle and the soup all right,
and just as she was about to pour in
a bottle of claret, a little boy entered
singing. “Everthing is lovely and
the goose hangs high,” whioh dis
tracted her attention and she made
a mistake and poured in a whole
bottle of hair tonic.
“Did it make hair soup ?” said I,
meekly.
“Alas!” said he, “the results
were sad.”
“What were the results?” said I,
becoming interested.
“Darn it,” said be, “didn’t I just
they were sad?”
But how did the mock turtle turn
out ?” said I.
“Ah,” said lie, “two went to the
Morgue, four went to the hospital,
aqd all who didn’t dio were called
survivors; and that fellow you just
saw one of ’em.”
‘}What the devil does lie swallow
so much camphor for ?”
“well,” he said, “that tonic started
the hair growing down dis throat,
and oe took the camphor to keep the
moths out.”
Fate of a Murderer.—The dead
body tfa man has recently been
found in Bland county* supposed by
some to be the remains of Suiter,
who was charged with the murder of
a Miss Bales, of that tounty, and
who, it was thought* also murdered
Mrs Hedrick, of this county. When
last heard of he was endcvoring to
elude arrest for the last named
crime. lie was several times shot
at by his pursuers, and it is throught
possible that he may have laid down
in the brush and died from the effects
of wounds thus received. Both the
muders of which ne is believed to
have been guilty were of the most
brutal character, and it is to be
hoped that the conjecture in regard
t:> his death may be correct, and that
the community has thus been rid of
a fiend whose carcass deserved no
better fate than to perish where it
fell —with no hand to give it burial
fit only for buzzards to feast upon. —

Michael Tray nor, at his residence,
259 St. Mark’s place. The dcceassd,
it appears, returned home about one
o’clock yesterday morning, under
the influence of liquor and commence,
ed quarreling witn his wife. Hoping
to avoid any trouble, she left her
sleeping apartments and proceeded
to the kithen, takirg the precaution
to lock the door after her. The
deceased followed her, but being
unable to open the door thought be
would climb out of the bed-room
window tnto tho kitchen window.
In endeavoring to do so he lost bis
balance and fell upon the flagging

His skull was crushad in, and he
died from the effect of his injuries a

Didn't Want Ui.s Notes.
A Story is told of a Chicago dry
goods salesman who has the reputa
tion of being somewhat of a wag.
He recently sold a bill of gooos to a
country customer who was expected
to pemmit justifiable insolvency as
soon as be had disposed of his stock
As it was the customer’s intention
to pay a small part of his account
with notes, which might pro\e worth
less, the salesman —so the story
goes—added here a little and there a
little to the price of goods, so that
when the purchase cf some two
thousand dollars’ worth had been
made of which all but two or three
hundred dollars were paid in cash,
there was no possibility of the firm
losing anything, even should the
notes go to protest.
The transaction concluded, the
customer besought the salesman to
give him a present of some sort,and
the salesman accordingly presented
him with a valuable red silk handker
chcif.
‘‘That won’ do,” said the customer?
“give me a riico silk dress for my
wife, or something of that eort.”
“Can’t do it,” responded the sales
man ; “but I'll tell you what I’ll do—
I’ll give you back youa notes.”
“No.” replied the customer ? “hold
on ? “I’ll take the handkereheif.”
A Paris correspondent, who inter
viewed Gambettaf reports him as
saying that the national assembly
has been so beaten and bullied by
Thairs that it has become simply a
register of the President's will.
Theirs, he says, docs not represent
either the country or assembly, con
sequently, between them the country
is not represented at all. lie pre
dicts that on the reasscmblage of the
assembly it will dissolve itself of
sheer desbair. In any contingency,
republicanism is now the only possi
ble government for France. Theirs,
he thinks, upholds Republican polio
cy, and will accordingly receive the
support of the Republicans of the
conn try, While he thinks France 1
meditates no war with Germany, he j
says she will, by her Repnblican
greatness, pecomc so influential as to
sweep the rotten German Empire

A New Invention.—The Eatonton
Press and Messenger says:
“David 11. lljss, formerly of our
town, but now of New York citp has
invented and had patented a paper

introduce to the public. The follow
ing is a description of the match, a
sample of which he senhs ns :
The paper is twisted into a string
and passed through a solution which
hardens it and mrkes it combnstible,
it is then passed over a reel each
revolution making two maclies four
and half inches 1 >ng, which are doub
led as the sample—the ends—the
open ends, arc dippel making the
match complete. On being ignited
the ends readily separate, and being
opened to the full length of the
string gives you a match which will
burn five minutes—giving as good
a lighi as a candle’ orid can be made
as cheap or cheaper than the ordina
