FALCON Sweeps Dowu On Two Mighty Men of War—Pen Plctaree of Jack In calls and Joe Brown, the Two Mm tcra of Senatorial niillugsgftte [Correspondence Louisville Times.] Lexington. June 19.—1 see that Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, and Sen ator Joseph E. Brown, of Geor gia, have keen waking the echoes in that monumental old sarcophagus at the north end ot the Capitol, whete the dust of public functionaries of the Egvptian mummy order is uont to drift about and sift itself with a half leatherly uncliousucss over the corks of whiskey bottles kept for private use in the committee rooms. Mr. Pickwick, unfortunately, never was a member of the United States Sen ate, but ovor since the time that Dick ens gave the vi-tues of that angel in gaiters and knee smalls to the world ho has been the presiding genius of that sanctified old dove-cote, and words uttered there have been uni- versally understood to have only a Pickwickian moaning. So, although there was a slight shock of an earth quake all over this country and au uneasy roaring of the British lion wheu these two intellectual Gargan tuan glared at each other, yet the “business interests” did a flurry, bpc a use the knowing ones knew that the world would wag along on its weary way toward the groat French Horn Festival of Mon sieur Gabriel—to bo held at Cincin nati, of course, without being bathed in the gore of either Ajax. Mr. Ingalls “loftily,asked” whether the honorable Goober Grabbler had used such and such language, ami the honorable G. G. said his distinct recollection was that he had. There upon the honorable Grasshopper from Gopliertown accused the honor able Goober Grabbler of forgery. The galleries, of course, were breath less with excitement, and the politi cal friends af the spectacled old G. G. implored him to “keep caol, Brown 1” lie kept cool, and said: “I decline ito reply,” thus by a fine exhibition of lofty scorn paralyzing the Kansasian. According to tho nimble reporter, who was, of course, numerously on baud, Mr. Ingalls‘‘glared fiercely al Mr. Brown" for a while, and then proceeded to hurl Pickwickian an athemas at him until called to ardor, and even thou did not desist. ‘‘Brown kept cool.” Ho was aided and abutted by several of his col leagues, who insisted that he should keep cool." Finally he said: “The motion being objected to, I will not reply now," and the soul-search ing bombardment of drastic itiuucn dees will be continued in our next ‘‘to morrow.” Mr. Ingalls bowed his stately head, and the senate proceeded to consider the item in an appropria tion bill of 910.66% for establishing a free bridge over Squashmagogui spring IrfaliJH. i But who aro these scarified old roosters, anyhow, that the heart ot the nation should slop beating when tliry scratch up tho clods in the sena atorlal muck heap? Are they hamfetters from Hogtown air luminaries from Lucidity ? Let ais see. Ingalls is a peripatetic gall bladder who parts his iron-gray hair in tho middle, and looks like he ought to gel somebody to cut the martingale that connects tho gills of his hawk nose with the sinuosities of his cartilagf lagiaous upper lip. He wears the eyr-glasses of a dude and lias the strut of a bantam cock as he walks up and down the Senate chambci buttoning a cloecly fitting Prince Al bert coat about a body the shape ol an early radish. He is Die apotheo sis of attenuation, bis legs consisting of a eouplo of algebraic| unknown quantities enveloped in two tailor made gum cases; in fact he would hare been blown away long ago bui for his judicious habit ot turning his thin odge toward every Kansas cy clone which happened to come his •way. His countenance is decorated with a supercilious smile, begotten of aduoesque nature and a suppository atatcsmaiiship—that smile sits upon him like a pinch of early fro9l in the withered petals of a forgotten holly hock. Taken all in all,the Kansas man is physically remarkable, and with a pair of donkey cars attached to him would present a striking resemblance to a Kansas jack rabbit. Mentally, however, lie Is anything but asinine. There hangs about him much ol the petty formalism of the clerk of a sma'l court, with an ambi tion for infallibility and a contempt f the statutes of Jeofails. His vis ion iscircumsertbed by the pages ol iiis order book, and bis views of the conduct of life much modified by the ever present possibility ot eventual costs inuring to his benefit. It was tills abhoroncc of small inaccuracies which lest him info his unseemly quarrel with Joe Brown. The rec ord had not been an exact transcript •f the proceedings, and in the name of a small consistency he felt bound to protest. To this extent his Intel : lcct is fragmentary, and he will nev , r be able to the dignity of a momen tous occasion. But the man who picks him up for a fool had best wear Ms gloves thickly padded or he will get himself stuck for his rashness. A miud essentially shrewd, agile and acute, with a nimble logic and /acuities for analysis keen enough for <lce splitting of a hair, is his—and an *eUve, efflorescent rhetoric furnishes him with wreaths af garjands of fra grant metaphor or thorny sarcasm, as he wills, to use the one or other. Keen and polished English seems to be his by birthright, and for attack or defense bo is always ready and al ways dangerous, lie will never be the man to originate any measure of broad and deep non-partisan signifi cance. but for such tilts as this he has all the essentials of pre-eminent success. THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE. VOL. XIX. His antagonist, the Honorable Jo seph, ot the many-colored coat,is like wise a man of mark. lie is a kind of hilleiujah hoodlum, who knows the main chance when ho sees it and considers that it ought to be a very cold day when any visible fat take is not for Joseph. Joseph is a shifty sort of saint; had he been the hero of the Potiphar scandal wnuld hato made a virtue of necessity and taken a majority of the stock in the family railroad rather than to have skipped out, leaving his overcoat in soak. Physically he is the incarnation of a backwoods prayer meeting, and you feel like finishing him ofi with a hear ty “Amen” whenever you look at him. Xlis face is mild and half che rubic, smoothly shaven, topped with gray hair, somewhat far back/as to its starting point, and fringed under ucatlf with long white beard f dug out from the Adam’s apple on his throat like au inverted aureole of sanctity about the visage of a holy mail' The calm peace of hallowed imioccnco lingers about Ids eounten nuce, ami hia benignant eyes look out ai one through large round specta cles, like the double moons a fellow sees iu the sky when he is on a chron ic hum. Nestling down half apolo getically in his eurtilcchair, opening his mail with Ungers so geulle that ho seems to be fearful of hurting the feelings of tlio envelopes as lie tears tliem, one who knows him only ns lie appears in tho Senate chamber would think him a transverse section of ethereal mildness, sugared over thickly witli sifted sanctification. In garb and appearance clerical, lie looks like a patriarchal prcnchcr of the Baptist ]>crsuasion from thclmck settlements, and as he rises logo out you wonder that he doesn’t throw ovor his arm a pail of well worn sad dle bags, with tho ucck of a black bottle sticking out troiu the northeast comer of the left hand flap thereof, while tho other side bulges with a Bible and a well thumbed hymn book. But there is not so powerful much mildness about the old fellow as you might Kui)pose. He has ns much hu man nature about him as can well, be packed into the space, and gener ally manages to hustle himself to ward tho front In ample ttmo to got his name into the pot. Beforo the war he was the bitlorcßt Secession ist in Georgia, and alter the strife began was a typical war savsHus un? til he took it into his head Dial Go or-' gia was a nation all by itself, and could not afford to protect Die border Statos; so ho made everybody join the militia and stay at home till the enemy came after them. When Sher man came through his section lie was quick to run away, and, witli his usual thrift carried all his earthly goods along, oven pulling up his gar den truck and loading a train witli il. When the war closed he was Dio first and most zealous Southern Republi can, and stood staunchly by tho old llag and the appropriation till the Democrats obtained control, when il was all at once discovered that lie had licen a niosshack Democrat all Die lime and only fooling the Uads. Su lie wrecked railroads and built up a fortune out of the debris, and led the brethren In prayer, and endowed re ligious instil utions, and bought in corruptible newspapers, and stumped around among Die boys, and crcpi along slowly into a Senatorial seat, where he sits half dozing all Die time, but ready at tho winking of an oyc tid to Btir up a political Jehauncm,or asks a blessing over a fresh bottle of Bourbon, as the ease may be. Joseph is the personification of In tellectual piactlcalKy, and in brain and force and energy as powerful ai my man in the Senate. 11c lias not the brilliancy, perliaps not the cul ture, of Ingalls, but is broader and stronger, and will more often carry his point. Vanity, 1 think, he knows aslittleofas consistency or moral limitations; but he has pride and |>or soveraneeenough for two men, and is especially able in preparing Id ground for the crop lie expects to raise. There will not be more than a bar rel of gore spilt in this contest. It is funny, though, to look al Die Kansas lack Rabbit and Die Georgia ’Pos sum making months at each other. The Rabbit will jump higher; bul the ’Possum will outclimb him, and in the lot g run I think Joseph Brown will bog Die persimmons. Falcon. Some nine years ago at a Christ mas frolic given in the bend of the St. Mary’s rivor in Charlton county. John J. Thomas and Joseph Crews, familiarly known as “Boney Joe,” met and resumed a previous difficulty, which resulted in the death of Crews. Thomas fled the state. An indict ment was found against him at the following spring term of Charlton court for murder, and not until this late day he has been arrested. He was brought from Florida by Mr. Mans, who arrested him in Volusia county of that state, npon a requisition of Governor McDaniel. It scorns to he the misfortune of men who leave (or crimes committed, that they render themselves so unpopular where they take refuge, that the people of their sanctuaries become restless and leave no stone untnrncd until they bring them or cause them to be returned to tho place from whence they came. ALLAN PINKERTON. DEATH OF THE FAMOUS DETECTIVE IN CHICAGO. How He Began Ills Llfe-Suse of the Famous My steries He I’nrnvetod. Ail." a Pinkerton, the famous detoe tivc_ died in Chicago last week. His dre was filled with startling ovonts. He was born iu Glasgow in 1819, the son of a small tradesman. He mar ried young and immediately after left for the western hemisphere, land ing in Canada, jv now post village in Bruce county, Ontario, is now named aftor him. The young coup le’s early struggles were a series of hardships, and aftor many vicissi tudes Pinkerton went to Chicago, wliero he engaged in the cooper trado. lie afterward moved to the neigh borhood of Dundee, 111., whero ho purchased a small fatal. This was, as near as can be ascertained, about 1847. Piukertou was then about 28 years of age, and it was tlion that lie made his first detective vouturcs as an amateur. Ilorso thieves wero on tho rampage iu those days, and Al lan Pinkerton, after having been suc cessful iu hunting down a rascal who iiad stolen one of his horses, was em ployed by neighbors until his repu tation as a detective reached the ad joining counties. INVITED TO'OHIOAOO. What gained him a reputation all over the Stale, and oven farther, was In exactly the same lino. At that time there was very littlo ready money in the country districts of the Northwest, and this scarcity was par tially supplied by the checks of tho Milwaukee Fire and Marine Insur ance Company (now MitchoU’s Bank), which wore crude and easily imitated. Pinkerton suffered by tho forgeries, and ho succeeded in hunting dawn one of the forgers—John Gray, a Ver mont man. Tito merchants of tho country employed him to run down the forgers, and Pinkerton succeeded in that. Ho was then invited to Chicago, followed tho invitation and was made Deputy Sheriff of Cook caunty. This was iu 1849, and In tho same year Pinkerton received Ihc ap pointment as Special Agent of the Treasury under Secretary Guthrie. In this, and also in the position of mail agent, he distinguished himself by numerous brilliant pieces of do tettive work. The first established agency was Vegas t>, * lOUJ. JtOglll ‘nliig wrtn a iiuniirul of iri.Vtiu cm-' ployos, Allan Pinkerton stoudily in creased his business until thoro arc now “Pinkerton agencies” in all Die principal cities of the Union, em ploying thousands of men and wom en ill every Stale of tho Union. Men of good character are alone employed. The various agencies at present em ploy about two hundred first-class detoctivcs, men and women, whose pay ranges from $5 a day to to $5,000 per year. ASCOItTINQ LINCOLN 'IO WASHINGTON. The feat which grve Allan Pinker ton a national reputation was to eon duel Abraham Lincoln safely through Baltimore to the inauguration in Washington. Pinkerton knew of Die plot to assassinate the President elect in Baltimore, which was then completely in Die hands of a rebel mob. Riotous scenes and attacks up on Federal troops were Dio order of the day. It was said, though tlio story was speediiy denied, that Pin kerton accomplished ids hazardous task witli the aid of one of his fe male operatives, who occupied the same seal in the car as tho President, who wore a bonnet with a thick veil which completely concealed his well known fealnros. A shawl thrown over tho knees gave “Old Abo” Die appearance of an eidcrly lady, as whose companion posed Pinkerton's lady detective. The latter in buried in a Chicago cemetery, where a space is reserved for the Pinkertons and Dicir employes. The graves aro doc orated once a year. Allan Pinker ton, although t<Vall ontward appear ances a cold and unsympathetic man, never forgot a friend or those who served him faithfully. When the warbroke out President Lincoln sent for Mr. Pinkerton to come to Washington and authorized him to organize Die secret service di vision of the army, the first govern ment police force ever organized in this country. This was done with Mr. Pinkerton at Die head, under tho nom de plume of E. 3. Allen. In this capacity lie served the country dur ing the war, leaving his Chicago of fice in the charge of capable people, and at tho close of Die war went back to take charge himself. SOUK 810 ROBBERIES. Ilia first important ease on resum ing his former duties was tlio robbery of the Adams Express Company, near Baltimore, by throwing the safes from the train while in motion and getting away with over $100,(XX). This case, like other cases of ttie same nature, was a success, the thieves, six in number, being arrested, tried and convicted and the money ail recover ed. Some time later came tho rob bery of the Hamden fexpress Com pany, in Baltimore, by which $20,000 was secured; tho thieves in this case were also convictsd and tho money recovered. The next important case was the robbery of the Carbondalo Bank, at Carbondale, Pa., in which cate the thioves wero arrested and the money, $40,000 recovered, Fel- WASHINGTON, GA.; FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1884 lowing those came the robbery of the Adams Express Company on tho New York and New Haven Railroad, oil January 0,18C6. The thieves, six in number, including the brakeman, entered the express car by wrenching oif the lock and bursting tho safe. Thoy secured about $70,000 from this exploit. Through the efforts of Mr. Pinkerton and Mr. Frank Warner (the latter being at tho time tendent of the New York office), the thieves were convicted and the mon ey all recovered but about $12,000, tho most of which was afterwards re turned through a Catholic priest. The arrest and conviction of the rob bors of Mylart’s bank at Scranton, Pa., next followed. Tho next ease ot importance of which Mr. Pinkerton had chargo was the robbery by Morton and Thomson from the express car of the Mcrchay/j>* Union Express Company ou Hie Hudson ltivor Itailroad of $390,000. These tnou wore tracked to Canada and there arrested, and in spite of all that money oould do and the ltolp which they rocoivcd from corrupt government etficials they woro extra dited to White Plains, N. Y. Thoy afterwards broko from priseu and raided Iho Boyislou Bank in Boston and then fled to Europe. THE'HKNO BItOTUKKS. lii the same year camo the death of the Itano brothers and Anderson, of Seymour, Indiana. These men were desperadoes of tho most pronounced type. They robbed stores mid ex press trains, burglarized safes, and their very names hccatno a terror along (lie railroad lines in that 9octlon of tho country. Entiro discontinuance of express service was seriously thought of by tho companies. In 18C8, near Osgood Station, Indiana, they robbed the Adams Express Company of $97,000by boarding the train, throwing tho messenger from the car, opening tho safes and doliber- ately appropriating thoir contents. This caso was given to Mr. Pinker ton, and Simeon and Bill Kono wero arrested by Him at Indianapolis, Frank Reno and Charlcß Anderson tied to Canada, wero purstiod to Windsor, Ontario, and extradited af ter a long siogc of moro than throe months. During tho trial which fol lowed another portion of the gang, for tho purpose of screening tho pris oners and throwing suspicion from fuWy udvlwj and prepA. -a■. After one of Die men litid bcon shod Diciest were captured, but boforo awaiting tlio action of tho law the indignant and outraged popuiaco of the county look them out and hung them within full view of the jail. When Frank Reno and Charles Re no were returned to tlio United Slates they were thrown into jail at Now Albany, Indiana, in company with Simeon and Bill Itono. About three weeks after tlielr arrival there one hundred masked men marched to Die jail, having como in on tho north bound train, overpowered the Sheriff and jailor and hung the three Renos and Anderson, and Dial ended tho banditti in Southern Indiana. A MAN WITHOUT FEAR. Allan Pinkerton was n man who know no fear, and numerous are Die exploits in which he teok his life in his own hands. On one occasion, in Detroit, he was so badly handled by his adversaries that his life was des paired of. A partial lameness re mained to the last as the result of the bloody on counter. Ho was a man who detected at once what qualities there were in a person that came, un der his observation. A atrialng 11- lustraDou of this fact is the career of McParlin, the great dotcctite in the Molly Maguire cases. McParlin was a coachman lu the employ of a mer chant who resides in Chicago. The siahics of this gentleman joined those of Pinkerton on Monroe street, and “the old man,” then deeply in volved in the study of tho Molly Ma guire casos, came to the conclusion that“ Mac” was IDs man. He en gaged him ala high salary, in-’ structed him personally for hours ev ery day, and finally turned him over to the Philadelphia agency, which had the special management eftlila great case. Mr. Pinkerton was tho author of fifteen volumes of detective experi ences. Hs lias left several volumes in manuscript. He never could bn induced to operate in a divorce ease or where family matters were in dis- j pule. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Joan Pinkerton, tho devoted wifo who fol lowed her young husband in his vol untary cxiio to America and who lias been Ida constant companion and wise counselor through tho many years and changing fortunes of (heir wedded life. To them were born eight children, only two of whom aro living, William A., (lie eldest, In charge of tho Chicago office and the Western division, while Koberf A., is the general superintendent and has immediate charge of the Eastern of fices.

Its most astonishing how onr folks arc getting along. Here is this big frolic at Home—this military fandan go that makes a man feel like every body down sou til was rich and bravo >ami just have another figlit as not. Our people are getting on a swoil. Thoy are fooling their oats and getting braggislt. If they can’t rj.de patch they can out walk all crea tion, andarc bolting on that. Itjooks like tho old Roman spirit of sports and games is coming over our people, and I reckon it is a sign that our boys ntu prospering. Only a few days ago v.-a went about like a dog who dident i“/vo spirit enough to wag his tail. J 38 whole country was desolate and £iu*pcople ail hnckod. There were no cows or hogs or sheep or roosters to crow, no fences, no wagons,no cotton prussos, no traveling threshes, no hulls or parties or picnics, no excur sions, no Christmas or fourth of July, no time of day. no nothing hardly, 'j'lieie very chaps who aro parading around in uniform so big wore, most of them little boys when the war brake out, and they never know any thing but trouble and hardship in their youth. They had to oat roots ond drink branch water and go bare head ad and bare-footed, and wear ono pidltts breeches and sleep three or four in a bed, and go hungry half the time. They never saw a circus for ten years, nor rode on tho cars, and all tho ifihooling they got was in the cornfield. But them sort havc como to tho frout— they have —and lots of them have got rich. I was sitting down talking to Ithodc Hill about it the othor day, and Rhode said that mighty nigh every rich man in Atlanta was raised a poor boy. “There goes one now,” mild he, “who is worth a hundred thousand and lives on Peachtree. He iited to plow barefooted over troad safts and dewberry vinos. Ho never wore a shoo until ho was twelve years old. He liasent got nary nail on his big toes. Slumped ’em off, I toll you. Dont you see how aortor clumsy he he walks. And there goes another one worth a hundred and fifty thous and, and lie couio from this same barefooted stock. I toll you what’s a fact; Bill, mighty nigh nil these Peachtree nabobs are Die same sort of Wtf*- They havent got any bigtoo f MBs'. Y?hen one of those poor boys stuiiftw in* before tlioy got well -stumps ’em again, and keeps on stumpen and until tho nails slough otil by Die roots ho looses thespriugof IDs walk and goes stiff-liko over tlioso paveinonts and I can tell one of ’em as far as I can see him. There goes another one who lias made his jack. Tlioy are all going up .to dinner now. That man carries one shoulder lower than the other, and that como from cavry ing bark to cook with before he was big enough to stand it. Ho begun to carry hark and old rails w’ou ho was about fire years old, ni . pulled one side of him down L utile. lie liasent got any biglee nails oiDicr, and Pm inclined to think tlioy aro gone on the noxt toes too. Borne of Diem fel lers have the second toe longer than tho big-toe, and tho second nml third toes tied together about half way up. When you como across ouo of them sort do you look out for yourself, for if you trade with him Ho will get you shore.” I've been thinking about that. Dr. Darwin says that man bofore ho de veloped and cvoluled dideirt have any fingers or toes. His hand was like a mitten with a thumbs and a grabatl and IDs foot had one bigtoe and the elliers were all glued togother. Bo I reckon that some of us are evo lutlu yet, and some of my own ances tors away back must havo begun late or traveled slow, for there is a pair of my toes that liavcnt got entirely di vorced. I’ve heard it said that if a woman’s second toe is longer than the first sho will rule her husband shore. I asked Rhode about his own youth Vvfien he used to rough it up in Chat tooga, and lie said that was v hat was Die matter and why Ho talked that way about other iieoplc, for ho knew nil about It from experience, and wasent ashamed of it either. Rhode jwuscut raised in a hand box. lie never wore knee breeches and long stockings.' I don’t think ho wore any sort for a good while after lie came into tide subloonary world. Tho first j time I over saw Rhode lie was clerk ing down on the river bank ut Home, and it was a dull time and Rhode not up a bet of half a dollar that he could hide a hen’s egg on Shorter’s Jake whore nobody could find it, and he agreed to give Jake a dime of tho money if lie won it. And so lie put the egg on tho back of his nock just under his collar, and the boys limited all over Jake and then give him a slap that broko tho egg, and that was , the Joke of it. Jake got the Jimeand the boys laughed and took onaraaziin and I did too. Rhode lives on Pcach treo now, and wears slippers in his store and is happy, and grows old about as gracefully as anybody, toe nails or no toenails.—Atlanta Consti tution.

A Philadelphia special of Jaly 2 (o the New York World says: “I am Charlio Ross, and I’ve come all tho way from Quincy to seo my father,” said a small, neatly but poorly clad boy as he entered the Central Station tliia morning. To tho Chief of Polico the little fellow, who is very bright related a circumstantial story of his capture by two men, who removod him in a wagon, cutoff his long ourls and kept him a prisoner under threats of death if he attemped to oscapo. Ho gave a most minute and apparently straightforward account of his wan derings until he escaped and made his way to Quincy. Shortly aftor his arrival the boy went alone to tho residence of Chris tian K. Ross, father of tho long-foal Charlie, In Gormantown, whero Mrs. Ross and Mr. Ross looked at the boy carefully, and interviewed him for some lime. “Wliero wero you taken from by tho meu ?” inquired Mr. Itosf. “Why from tho back part of tho house.” “Can you remember liow you wero dressed at the lime?” “Yes sir; in dark clothes.” “What color wero you pautuloons?” “I didn’t have any, I was too small for pantaloons and woro a dark frock.” “Do you remember anything about your home?” “Yes, 9ir. There was a very large tree just in front of the houso.” “Can you remember anything else ?” “I recall a colored boy named Dipps, who made mo a present of o how and arrow.” “Who ? what was that nanio ?” eager ly asked Mr. Ross. “Dipps, sir, I think that was his name.” “Anybody else.” “Yos, a man named Allen.” _ “Can you recall anything else about your homo ?” “Yes, I remember that my father taught mo to sing ‘What a Friend I Have in Jesus' and ‘Happy Day.’ ” “Unfortunately,” said Mr. Ross, “I never sing.” When tho child had told IDs pitiful tale Mrs. Iloss sobbed and Mr. Ross’ eyes wore wet with tours. “Do you think you are my mother?” tlio buy, asked, looking up into Mrs. — “My little man,” answered Mrs. Ross, in quivering tones, as she wiped a tear from her eye, “your story is very interesting, but you are not my son.” It is rognrdod as a somewhat singu lar coincidence that this day nine years ago (July 2,1875,) Charlie Ross was abducted, lie would now be about the age of the boy who reached hero to-duy. Tlio little fellow was sent to a public institution. TWO BAD MABKSMKH. A Lover and HU Prospective Pathor lo-Lsw at Pistols. An ardent young lover and an irate old father, soys a Baltimore special of .July 1, had a lively duel with pis tola this morning in tho northwoslorn section of Die city. It was not a duel aflor the style of the Virginia code, hut a regular fusilade. It was all on account ot the father’s pretty daugh ter. Frank Bouchat loved Ada Smel zinger, and she returned hit affection with all the warmth of her sixteen year-old German heart. John Smol zingor, the father of the fair one,how ever, did not look with favor on Bou chat, ami ulso thought his daughter too young to marry. Accordingly he forbado Bouchat tho house. The lov ers continued to meet, as lovers al ways will. Last night they met and walked and talked till late. When she returned her fattier scolded her. Her lover’s residence is right oppo site to her father’s house. After scold ing his daughter the angry parent last night went over to tho young man’s house, saw him sitting dreaming on the front steps and awoke him from his love bliss by a blow on tho head with a pistol. Frank was stunned by the blow, but recovered and went into tho house. This morning early Flank bought a pistol. He no sooner made his appearance In front of tho house than the duel began. Who fired the first shot is not known. Tho father stood in his dorway and blazed away; near him was his pretty daughter begging him not to shoot Frank and screaming to Frank not to kill her father. Aftor firing several allots at each other across the streol, Bouchat retreated into the liouso with a ball through his coat sleeve. Ho ascended to tho third story and fired down on the old man; but lucky for tho two, although a dozen shots wero fired, noithcr of tho bad marksmen wero hurt. They were overpowered by the neighbors and both 'arrested. It is reported that Ada declares site will marry her Frank.

President Arthur, Senator Edmunds Senator Sherman, Secretary Lincoln and Postmaster-General Gresham, says a Washingtou letter, accepted the result of the Chicago Convention qui etly and gracefully. But tho smug faced Ben Harrison and the heavy-ey ed Black Jack Logan were dissatisfied, . and could not conceal their dissatis faction. They aro not very skillful diplomats, and what they think is very apt to come right out. Both of them wore seized with a very pecu liar beliof. Harrison thought tlio fact that ho was the grandson of Wil liam Henry Harrison entitled him to servo out that soldier-statesman’s term. Logan thought that the fact tliat he had posed for twenty years as the soldier’s friend entitlod him to bo tho nation’s Chief Magistrate. Each of them took- tlio action of tho Chicago Convention as a personal slight, which justified some growling at tho ingratitude of Republics. Lo gan was very sore. He owes his nom ination as Vice-President to a bargain ooucludod with Blaine last winter. Ho could not had even that nom ination in any other way. Yet lie al ways regarded that bargain as a pure ly conditional affair, and the condition as voijy unlikely to occur. If Lognn could not be nominated on the first two oif threo ballots, then he wrs to throw his strength t > Blaine. BulLs gan put it this way: If Biaino is not nominated on tho first two or threo ballots (and ho will not be) then I will he nominated.” Mow, it didn’t como out in that way, and so, very reluctantly, *t the last minute Logan sent u telegram to Blaine telling him that he was about to carry out his stipulations, and then a tolegram to his lieutenants at Chicago tolling them to voto for Blaine, and then he turned to his friends here with with the re mark : “I have nominated Blaine.” But it was not a joyful act. He growl ed all day,and ho grumbled all night. Ho was grumbling when young Walker Blaine called to present his (attier’s congratulations. Theso wero fuel to Logau’s flame. He kept on grumbling. Mrs. Logan comforts him, howovor, with tho sensible remark that half a loaf is better than no bread. But ho Is an unwilling ox at the Blaine feast. Vigorous health is man’s finost es tate. If weak and nervous, sond for circular and (reo trial packago of Pastilles —a radical cure. July.

SAM JONES. -- • Cartcrsville American : One of tho most extraordinary men in Georgia to-day is Rev. Sam Jones, of Carters* vil'.o. In every homo and hamlet in tho South his name has become a household word. From an obscuro village boy of dissipated habits and reckless speech, he lias grown to bo one of the foremost Methodist divines of his day-. Twelve years ago, Sam Jones made fifty cents a day in Cartcrs ville, and at night spend it carousing with the “boys”at the bar-room* and around tho billiard table. By the re- fining influence of the Christian ro ligion, he is to-day the instrument in God’s hands, of accomplishing moro good, perhaps, than any othor man iu Georgia. Sam Jones is a wonderful man. Ho is not what is commonly called elo quent, ho is not strictly logidal, lie is iiot profoundly theological, but ho knows how to stir the heart and suc- cessfully play on the chorus of human sympathy. It is impossible to bo in the sound of his voice and not listen to his words. It is impossible to hear him and not be impressed. His origi nality is very striking, his earnestness convincing, his illustrations forciblo, his arguments unanswerable. Xus kiyle is liqnjlectcd uniUtiht lan guage simple, He is the same plain blunt man wherever you find him ; whether he preaches on the street, in the log church or iu the gilded tem ple, ho is still Sam Jones. His work for the past ten years has been a grand one, and great good has been accomplished. He is not a “Whitcwasher” or an opologist for anybody’s faults. It seem to be ins espscial delight to strip bare tho ele gant and refined vices of the day, and show tho insido rottenness of those “whited sepulchers” of sin. Conse quently, ho makes enemies, and there are men who call him a hypocrite, but there aro thousands of men and womon iu tho South to-day who aro ready to rise up and call him blessed; there aro hostc of orphan children who arc ready to sing Ids praises, be cause of wants relieved and suffering alleviated. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” This grand truth should put to silence all tongues that charge Sam Jones with being a hypo crite. Gwo honor to whom honor is due. M OTHIN Q but DEATH CAN BTIB HEB. N. Y. Ban. For several yoars it has boon tho habit of Congress to insert Die names of favorite employs in the body of appropriation bills, In order that they may not be exposed to the danger of removal by officials to whom they are directly subordinate.

Tho other six are Amle Swith, the keeper of tho Senato document roam, who knows every bill that has been in troduced or passed, and every report that lias been made in Congress for a century; 11. IL Smith, the journal clerk of tho house.*whoso business is to extricate tho Speaker when he gets tangled up in parliamentary snarls; George A. Bacon, who tends door when the Democrats havo a cau cus, and sees that all the members aro on hand when a vole is to be taken ; J. T. Chanccy, who occupies a simi lar relation to ths Republican side; John J. McElhoue, the official re porter, anil C. IV. Combs, who handles documents for,tho statesmen of Die lower House. All theso gentle men aro considered too essential to the welfare of tho House to bo ex posed to the whim of the elerk and sergeant-at-arins. BLAIXB’S SOW PRODDING THE DE PARTMENTS. (Washington DUpatt'U to tho Now York Son.) Yesterday and to-day Mr. Walker Blaine spent in going through sorao of tho departments, especially tho Treasury and Interior. 110 inquired if thare were any persons iu the de partments who were disposed to kick, bolt or.be lukewarm, and be was told that there did not seem to be any very great enthusiasm. When Mr. Blaine asked for the names of tho more prominent officers iu tho departments who were disaf fected ho was unablo to got them from the chiefs of bureaus. Howev er, by diligent inquiry he was able to makequitoa list. Those men will cither havo to chango their tactics and simulate an enthusiasm they do not feel or they will have to go next March, if Mr. Biaino is elected. G. C.
