through which we passed is a poor, sue.
ily soil, and pine wood in most plan • ■
ha.l ih.iuuUsiieil. The erops are, coin
parativwly, very sorry, owing, in man;
places, to the lack of work. In aim.
places the people appear to he il mi -
well despite the ruinous effects of rani
e.ii iiile, but in must places luxury an.
pride seem to be gradually succumbing
to bard times or the civil rights bill.
There are more white people seen id
work than negroes, uml in uiany instance.,
whole families, men, women and chil
dren, are seen in the tieids, while at
ev.-rv little station crowds of dirty, lazy,
dark-skinned heathens are standing
nr.ni.id doing uothing. At every ton,,
two or three negro police are standing
shout in their uniform, donbtless fuel
ing as oouseqilnutia! as U .ysses .lnmself.
Bat let us turn our attention
INSIDE THE CAM
for awhile. First, here in the ladies’
car we see four or five of the black spots
of humanity seated promiscuously about
who seeui to be enjoying to their heart’s
content the privileges of the civil rights
lull. Now let sgo forward into the smo
king csr. Here we sec a white man
w hose couuteuaitoo shows that he ha. u
mean opinion of himself, seated by the
aide of a huge thick-skinned negro, en
joying a social smoke with him. Judg
ing from the amount of conversation
they are doing on political subjects they
are evidcutiy legislators. This reminds
lue of
SOMETHING THAT I SAW
in Washington City last summer which
rather got ahead of the popular idea oi
civil ri hts. As I was on my way out to
tin- “Soldier’s home —the Central J’uik
of Washington—my attention was at
tracted to a line pine.on iu which wnv
seatud, on a hack scat, a white Woman by
the side of it negro woman, and on Uiv
frout seat a finely dressed negro man,
while the pluetou was driven by a white
man. How is that Idr proud America':
capital ?
We stopped for diuuer at Columbia,
which is a scattered, mean-looking place,
and seems to be in the hands oi tiie ue
groes altogether. After changing en
gines we dashisl on again, and a few sta
tions atiove Columbia we had to switch
off' to let a freight tram pass. Tin
train was loaded with wood, the ends of
which projected out so far that we had
to procure axes and
cur OUR WAX THROUGH.
This presents a very striking contrast
to the Northeru and Western double
track railroads, where traius at full speed
dash by each other.
Arriving at Charlotte at 8:80 in the
evening, uud finding that we could not
leave for an hour, we procured a sable
cicerone and set off to see the town by
lamplight. After tramping for a wuile
we suddenly came upon several i'ut
eheeked votaries of Gambriuns, and af
ter quaffing a few mugs of the wiue of
barley we r.-turued to the depot ready to
be jolted for the rest of the night.
mOH CHARLOTTE TO DANVILLE
is a run of about eight hours. We ar
rived at Danville a while before suu-up
next morning. This is a thriving town,

Capital Punishment.
In, tlio Jtevicw of Novomliur, there wan
1 an acooitiit of the trial of H irry Blake.
! for uinrdur, who was eouviote.l ii[)ou c.r
--j liui.-tariutil eviilt-uoe, ami iitiu{;. About
i three mouths alter his death, till' juilire
| who presided at the trial received a note
| from a prisoner under sentence of death,
i requesting to sec him without delay, u
1 uis seuteuoe was to be carried inti effect
ihe day following. Ou his way thither
! ho overtook au oid man walking slowly,
j who acc isted him, and recognized him
jto bo Caleb Grayson, who had been a
I witness at Blake’s trial, and had a simi
j ar note to his own, but equally at a loss
i o know the meaning of the summons.
They b >th entered the cell together.
| i’lie prisoner did not move, hut raised
| ilis head, wueu Grayson recognized hav
j ug seen him at a tavern the night before
Blake’s execution, and at the gallows.
| ‘Well, Judge," said he, ‘I sent for you
i to see if you cau’t get me out of this
| scrape. Must 1 surely hang to-morrow ?’
j The Judge shook his head. ‘lt’s idle
i to hope ; nothing can prevent your exe
cution.’
| ‘An application might be made to the
! authorities,’ said the prisoner. ‘Pardons
i have come sometimes on the scaffold.’
j ‘Noue will come in your case.’ replied
' the judge ; it is needless for me to dwell
i ou your offence now, for it was one that
| had no palliation, and you may rest as
| sored, that whatever may have occured
iu other cases, no pardon will come in
| yours. Iu fact, I understand that au ap
plication has been made for one by your
counsel, and has beeu refused.'
The features of the prisoner underwent
no change, nor did the expression -f his
face alter in the least. But, after a mo
ment’s pause, he said, ‘ls this true,
Ju lja upon your honor ?’
‘lt is,’ replied the Judge.
‘Then I know lhe worst,’ rented the
prisoner, coldly, ‘and will now tell wlint
I have to communicate, which I would
not have done while there was a hope of
escape. You," said he, turning to the
jndge, ‘presided at the trail of young
Harry Blake, who was accused of mur
der, and sentenced to death.’
‘I did.’
‘And go it,’ said lm, turning to Grayson,
'were one of the witnesses against him.
Yon swore that, you saw him stab Wick
liffe. On your testimony principally he
was hung.’
‘I was,’ replied the o'd man. ‘I saw
him with my own eyes.’
The prisoner uttered a low sneering
I laugh, as he said, turning to th" jndge :
i ‘Yon, sir, sentenced an iaun'e it mu.
■ And you,’ said he, turning to the other,
■ ‘swore to a falsehood. Harry Blake did
! not kill Wiekiiffe. He was as innocent
; of the aiu of murder us you were—more
innocent than yon are now.’
The old nmu staggered as if he had
been struck, and leaned against the tab e
to support lmnself, while the condemned
felon stood opposite him, looking a. him
with an indifferen t air.
j ‘Yes, old man,’Said he, s’ernly, ‘you
I have blood and perjury ou y.mr soul;!
for i, I,’ said he, stepping forward, so ,
that the light of the lump fell strongly
upon Ins savage features, ‘I murdered
William Wiekiiffe 1 l did it!—T'liank God.
j I did it, for I hail a long score o sc tie ,
with him. But Blake had no baud in it.
1 I met Wickhttc on that afternoon alone,
with none to interfere between us I
i told him of the injuries he had done me,
\ and I told 111:u that the time had come
I for redress. He endeavored to escape,
but I followed him up ; 1 grappled with,
I and stubbed him. As I did so, I heard
j the clatter of horses’ hoofs, and 1. leaped
i into a clump of bushes which grew at
| the roadside. At that moment Blake
i ante up an.l found Wiekiiffe lying dc.d
in the road. You know the rest. The
: aie he Umi was true as the Gospel. He
i was only attempting to draw the knife
fr mi the man’s breast when you came up
an I charged him with the murder.’
j ‘ Good God! can this be bossible ?’
i ejaculated the old man. ‘lt emmot. Yil
iiun, you are a liar !’
’Pshaw !' muttered the man ‘Wind
...smld-igain toy-«••»«»Kf---*i»*ug«»w l die.'
•I don’t believe it. ! 1 don’t believe it !’
exclaimed Grayson, pacing the cell, and
| wringing his hands. ‘God iu mercy grunt.
! that it may tie false ; that, this dreadful
j sin may not be. upon lue.’
j The prisoner sat down, and looked at
| the judge and the witness wi*h a ealin
\ ness that had something aluio-t ff-.mdish
i in it, when contrasted with the extreme
agitation of the one, and the mental ago
ny ol the other.
I At last, the old mail stepped in front of
j him, and, with a calmness so suddenly
: assumed in the. midst of his puroxyism
|of remorse that it even overawed the
! criminal, said, ‘You are one whose life.
; Inis been a tissue of falsehood and crime.
: You must prove what you have said, or
: i’ll not believe it.’
‘Be it so,’ replied the prisoner. ‘I saw
the whole transaction, and heard all vour
testimony at the trial ; for 1 was there,
too. I’ll now tell you wlmt occured at
the spot of the murder, which you did
not mention, but which I saw. When
you rode up, the man with you jumped
off his horse, and seized Bnike by the
collar ; your hat fell off on the pommel
of your saddle, but you caught it before
it reached the ground. You then sprang
off your horse, uuil, while Wulten held
Blake, you examined the hotly. You at
tempted to [mil the knife from his breast,
but it was covered with blood, ands ip
pod through your lingers. You rubbed
your hands ou the ground, and, going to
a bush on the roadside, broke off sour
leaves, and wiped your hands upon them,
and afterwards the handle of the knife.
‘You the i drew it out, and wash id it
iu a small puddle of water at th if »t of
the sumach lmsli. As you did so, you
looked at Blake, who was standing with
his arms folded, and who said, ‘Don’t be
uneasy about me, Caleb ; I didn’t kill
Wiekiiffe, and don’t iuteub to escape.’
At one time you were within six feet of
where I was. It’s lucky you did not Hud
me, for I was ready at that moment to
send yon to keep eompanp with Wick
liffe ; but. I saw all, even when yon stum
bled and droped your gloves, ns you
mounted your borne.’
‘God have mercy on me !” ejaculated
Oiay-on. ‘This is all true. But one
word more. I heard Wiekiiffe, as he
rode up, shriek out, ‘Mercy, mercy,
Harry !’
He was begging for his life—my first
name is Harry.’
The old man clasped his hands across
his face, and fell senseless on the flour.
It is needless to go into the details of
the prisoner’s confession, which was so
full and clear that it left no doubt on the
mind of the judge that lie was guilty of
Wickliffe’s murder, and that Harry
Biake was another of those "who had
gone to swell the list of victims of cir
cumstantial evidence.
My household gods are all abroad ;
fheir names I scarce remember.
And uaught is on my hearthstone now,
’Cept ember
Au 1 even thus next montft shall come,
With humor grim and sobea,
Aud then what’s standing now will be

THOMSON. GA. OCTOBER 27,1875.
A Mf,xl 'an G iotto. —Among tlio re
cent discoveries of ancient ruins iu
Mexico is that of ail artificially executed
grotto, fifteen miles from Tuueitaro, in
the State of Miclmacau. The grotto is
represented to be of immense depth and
vast extent ; the remains of walls uml
arched corridors are still to be seen, and
many cations specimens of tbe handiwork
of an unknown race have been brought :
fromtthis^ f subb'rraiiean palace. Two
citizens of a neighboring village recently
penetrated into tliecaveruousdepth of the
grotto and lost their way. Three days and
nights wete spent iu wandering through
the labyrinthine passages of this wonder
ful place Before they found an outlet
from their klrange imprisonment. Bub- 1
sequent, to this competent persons ui.nie
a more thorough exam'.nation of the i
grotto, when the fart that at some un
known peripil iu the past it had been ■
-Imped by human skill, aud walled iu im |
every side by !mman bauds, was reveal
ed. It is a dark labyrinth, surpassed in j
extent and intricacy the fabled one eon- j
structed l>y Drcdalus. The walls are ot
masonry, and the passageways, winch ,
connect vast chambers, are arched over
with stone, ti These evidences of human,
labor aud contrivance ieiul to the sup
position that it is the work of an abort,., I
iuul race wttjuh long eg" perished.
Fate of An t.ttion Leaders. Job i
Brown was hanged on the soil tu the
State where he struck the first blow to.
freedom. Mr. Lincoln, the first an: -
slavi ry President, died by an assassin’s
bullet, which, yet was scarcely more .pit
iless than the biography that afterwards
tore his good name to tatters. Preston
King, it said, committed suicide. Ger
rett Smith lost- his reason. Jim Lam
died by his own hand, the victim of a
remorse which oven his fierce, iron n.i
fare could not endure. Horace Greeley
died in defeated delirium, amidst tii
execrations of the party he had buildcu
Mr. Becchet staffiliveH, but to look npm
the ghastly iigiteuts of a rcputuLo.
which greatos,t. ->f all—torn to pieces lo
his own t'rh-mi, whom, in turn, lie ha
ground to dust.'-'under his heavy he.ei.
Mr. SiimiKf died under the couilemi a
bon of his. pnijy, having lived the ins
two years of bis.Jjfe under the coudetn -
atiou of his own State. Fremont live
under tbff jnrit. oj,. outlawry of. a Frem
court, before which he refuses to appen.
to answer charges of fraud.
Bo much for the tragic fate of th.
anti-slavery leaders.
The Wonders of a Flea. —When /
flea is made to appear as large as an ele
phant, we can see all the wonderful pari.-
of its formation, and are astonished .to
find that it Inis a cost of armor much
more complete than ever warrior wore,
and composed of strong, polished plates
lifted over each other, each plate covere.,
like a tortoise shell, uud where they me.
hundreds of strong quills project lilt
those on the back of a porcupine an,
hedge hog. There is the arched neck,
the bright eye, the transparent cases, tie
piercers to puncture the skin, a sucker
to draw Hit) blood, six long jointed legs,
four of which are folded on the breast,
alt ready at any moment, to be thrown
ont, with tremendous force for that
jump which bothers one when they want
to catch him, and at the end of each leg
hooked claws to enable him to cling to
whatever he alights upon. A flea can
jump a hundred times its owu length,
which is the same as if a man jumped
liOO feet, and he can draw a load 200 time,
its own weight.
In the northwestern corner of th,
orntory of Wyoming is located one ol
the most beautiful lakes on this contin
ent, if not in the world. Adjacent to il
we lour majestic rivers, the Yellowstone;
flowing into the Mississippi at a distance
of I,h id miles ; the Mississippi it.-od
which finds its way to the Gulf through
die fathers of waters; the, Columbia,
which leads to the I’acilie, aud the Col
orado, which, passing through the most
remarkable canon iu the world, dis-
waters in the Gulf of Califor
nia. Grouped around this lake aud iu the
midst of this water-shed is perhaps the
grandest display of cataracts, hotsprings,
geysers, mud volcanoes, tuidnatural arch
itectural beauties to be.ionud on the face
of the globe.
Discovery of a New Planet.—Pro
fessor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, received a cable telegram at 11 o’c.ock
Thursday last from Professor Faerater,
of the Berlin Observatory, announcing
the discovery, by Perratin of a new plan
et of the twelfth magnitude, in right as
cension twenty-three degrees forty-foil,
minutes, south declination six degrees
thirty-six minutes, with a daily motion
south of four degrees.
“Brick” Pomeroy lectured iu Balti
more, the other day, and told some o.
the tliiugs he saw while with the Federal
army out West during the war. Al
Cairo he said “he aw a coffin which was
supposed to contain the dead body of a
lieutenant iu the army being sent home
for burial. The coffin was broken by
accident, anil it was found full of silvei -
ware stolen in the South. A piece ol
raw meat was ou top of the silver,
which emitted the offensive odor expect
ed from a corpse.”
