Political Notes.
Coinmbus Delano, Secretary of the Interior,
would like to occupy Ibe seat in the United
States Senate which will be vacant on the 4th
ot March, 1875, by the expiration of the term
of service of # lion. Allen G. Thurman, of
Ohio.
The request of United States Senator Johij
Hippie Mitchell, alias John Mitchell Hippie,
says the Portland Oregonian of August 5th,
to the County Judge to usurp authorities not
vested in him by law-, and make an order
which he cannot law fully make for the pur
pose of giving the semblance of apptoval to
his past sins, was not granted yesterday, It
is supposed the matter will come up for con
sideration again very soon.
Id 1867, attci Congressmen had raised their
pay to $3,000 a year, lien Butler made a
speech in Lawrence, Massachusetts, m which
he condemned, in no measured terms, that
increase. Ben was not in Congress then.
The case is different now.
The Birmingham (Ala.) News denies that it
is a Democratic paper, but says:
••This ii a white man's paper, edited by a
white man, printed bv white men, paid lor
and supported by white men, and will sup
port no man for office who refuses to stand
squarely on the platform that this is a wLite
man’s country and a heritage to him and his
children for ever.”
There is talk of sending Thomas S. Bocock
to the Virginia Legislature from the city of
Lynchburg.
It is pretty certain that if Ben Butler is
nominated lor Governor at the Worcester
Convention, there will be a bolt on the part
of the opponents of Butler. In that case
there will be three tickets in the field —viz,
the administration back salary grab Republi
can ticket, the old hue Republican ticket and
the Democratic ticket. In addition to which
the labor reform may corne ont with separate
nominations.
The Boston Journal says that the office
holders of the general government in Massa
chusetts are working like beavers to secure
the nomination of Ben Butler for Governor,
Caleb Cushing sent a congratulatory dis
patch to Mr. William Allen, on his nomina
tion for Governor of Ohio. Mr. Cashing and
Mr. Allen were warm friends during old
Jackson times.
When Mr. William Allen, the Democratic
candidate lor Governor of Ohio, first entered
the United States House of llepxe^entatives,
he WnS but twenty-five years old, just the con
stitutional age.
Both the candidates for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor of Mississippi on the Radi
cal ticket are white men. This is the more
MtraDge when the fact is taken into considera
tion that the negro population in that State
exceed the white by upward of sixty thou
sand.
The old colored servant who attended Gen.
Grants father is rnuning for the Legislature
in Kentucky. It is said he has the sympathy
of the administration.
The St Louis Democrat (republican) says
Ben Butler ought to go to Chicago. His fer
tile imagination, his hardened cheek, his
superiority to moral considerations, all would
be appreciated there. It further says that it
is a long time since anybody bad accused Ban
Butler of being an honest man.
Governor Joel Parker, of New Jersey, wants
to go to the United Stales Senate.
The Granges of the Patrons of Husbandry
increase at the rate of two a week.
Hon. Henry L. Dvwcs, republican mem
ber of Congress from the Eleventh District
ot Massachusetts, is working against Butler.
The New York Republican State Conven
tion will be held at Utica, September 24.
The Liberal Democrats of Minnesota bold
a State Convention at St. Paul, September 2L
The Pams Diamond Market.— A curious
account is given by the Ordrc, of the place
where the dealers iu precious stones assemble
in Paris to transact business, namely, at the
Cafe den Varieties, Boulevard Montmartre.
The following is an extract Iron the last part
of th* article: “ As soon as the varioas chap
men are assembled and have taken out tbeir
stones, ‘Here,’ cries one, 4 is areal bargain,
one of the finest ancient pieces of jewelry
known, it is a necklace which belonged to
the Princess Guememenee, the setting and
diamonds being ail old. Prince Troisetoiloff
refused 75,000 francs for it twenty years ago. *
The article passes from hand to hand, and
each person examines it attentively with
his magnifying glass. Some countenances
express doubt and indecision, and the neck
lace at last reaches Michel, who is the great
authority. He weighs it in his hand and in
spects it with an air of indifference and then
says; ‘The two stones at each end are ancient,
and both with their setting belonged to the
Countess De Prejean; two others, which are
still'ficer, formed part of a collection stolen
at Venice in 1804, from Mine. Morosini; the
necklace afterward belonged to Lady Temple,
whose husband bought it at Candahar of
Isaac Lieveu, your grand father, M. Lion;
she left it to her daughter, Mme. De X ,
who sold it three days after her marriage; as
for Ih^MQPldre in the middle, it came from
iionda sale; all the rest is new, dia-
alx>xfl| setiiogs, and oatne direct from
: however, it in well made, aod tbe
7;>, i..'mien demanded seems to be a fair
l.rice.’ Tbs affair is settled. However extra-
ordiaar; tbe above may appear, there are iu
the world five or six individuals who know all
the diamonds of value and all the articles ot
jewelry of importance that exist, and who can
recognize them thirty years later if they have
only seen them for one minate."
Sir F. Madden s executors have sold an ex
traordinary literary collection—27,000 street
ballade of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen
turies. The lot realized £443. The poor
poets who composed them never dreamed,
perhaps, oi so much money.
Most Bev. Archbishop Manning, of West
minster, England, finds himself unable to at
tend the opening of the new Cathedral of Ar
magh, Ireland, according to promise made to
the Primate of the Church in that country.
The Archbishop pleads iu excuse the condi
tion of his health consequent on fatigue in
duced by bis labors ot the recent synod of tbe
Churchill England. Two members of tbe
English episcopacy will represent His Grace
on tbe occasion.
Ever Lived.
Marietta, Ga., August 31, 1873.
I met Sam Banl to-day. To say this is
equivalent to saying that I had a good time;
for though Sam is a humbug in politics, he is
a regular June-bng in social life, and when
you tie him to the thread of inquiry and bring
him round the circle, he will hum in the most
melodious manner.
TO you know that I consider him one of
the fRist remarkable men I ever saw. He
can break out in more new places,
considering his area, than any human
on earth. He is built ou the purely
magnificent plan, and his natural diet
is champagne and ambrosia; and while an
over-cruel fate sometimes for a season denies
him this accustomed sustenance, he is bound
ere long (by the nature of things) to 8jar to
the summit of bis Olympus, ami again sup
and dine with the clustering gods. As to
killing Sam, that is of course impossible—
he has more lives than a whole family of cats.
He can live for thrte months on the mere
memory of a good thing, and fatten on it, too.
There is a regular conspiracy of all the Re
publican leaders South, (which wicked and
unholy cabal we are afraid the doughty Rocka-
lellow has joined.) organized for the purpose
of winding up Sammy’s business and admin
istrating on his affairs. Hence, whenever he
comes bubbling to the surface of the political
waters, with a high-toned journal in
one hand and a government proclama
tion in the other, they sound the
hewgag, fight tbe fires on the mountain tops
and come down on him like a pateut ava
lanche. It generally takes them about three
months to mash him completely out of sight,
and then while they are sheathing their con
quering swords, and expecting to read Sam’s
obituary iu the morning papers under the
head of “Starved to Death,” that worthy is
quietly hid in some secluded winter quarters,
chewing the cud of his former glory, and ar
ranging the details for a new campaign of
developments. At last it comes. Sam bursts
forth iu an unexpected spirt for hash, and
in the tlush of his first success, leaves the
best of them repiuing in the rear. He's safe
then; for if he can have access io a good
larder for three months ia the
year, he is good for one more
Christmas. He Las reduced the
practice of carrying his commissary wagon
in bis stomach to a system that would make
a camel ashamed of himself, and whenever
he strikes an oasis in the desert of hia hie he
can lay in enough provisions, both solid and
fluid, to carry him across the longest Sahara
on the earth's broad surface. I must confess
I do not exactly see how fie is eventually to
be got rid of. He is loo good to die—too
solid to evaporato—too tough to be killed; I
suppose some special dispensation will be re
quired to finish him up after all.
GONE BACK TO TAILORING.
Sam told me some stories (narra
tives I mean) last night, and one about
Ex-President JohusoD will do to take along.
Says be:
“I was in Greenville the other day, and was
talking about Andy * Johnson, when a gentle
man standing by me says: ‘Andy is as big a
demagogue a i ever. A conutryman came in
to town last week with a bundle of jeans to
have a suit of clothes made lor Lis nigger.
He saw Andy standing on the corner, and
says: ‘Well, Andy, you used to be the best
tailor in these parts, and I wi»h you’d cut out
this suit of clothes for my boy Jim here.’
‘All right’ says Andy, and they stepped into a
shop near by, and in
FIVE MINT?IT.S AN EX-PRESIDENT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN
seen swinging lound the circle of a dirty ne
gro, taking his latitude, longitude and bear
ings ft r a suit of clothes.’ Andy is very am
bitious, but whether such tomfoolery as
this will get him into the Senate
is more than any oue can tell.”
Sam made another point. He says :
“ When I was in the campaign of Pennsyl
vania last year, I spoke longer and louder
than any man in the State; thus clearly dem
onstrating the superiority of Southern lungs
to Northern lungs. While the rest of the
speakers were so hoarse they could hardly
whisper, my voice was as clear as a bell.”
This is certainly sectional triumph beyond
what wo had hoped for.
Well, I wish Sam luck, and a successful
fight against the cabal of papsuckers. He is a
good editor and a jolly companion.
A FINE SUMMER RESORT.
As a summer resort, Marietta is ahead of
anything I’ve seen yet. It is a delightful
town, and has the best hotel in Georgia, and
I say this with a clear conscience and a re
ceipted board bill. The Kennesaw House,
under Fletcher & Frcyer, is the place. It is
filled all the summer with people from the
South, and all the winter with people from
the North—hence is always in holiday trim.
Ex-Congressman Payne, of Savannah, is at
present the autocrat of the house, having
won the admiration of all the children, the
esteem of the men, the idolatry of all the
servant*, and the love ot all the women. I
recon Mr. Payne is
THE HONESTEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Even Congress failed to spoil hi in. He
has been there, and yet to-day I do not be
lieve be would steal anythin'; at all. He told
me a story of bis early experience, which he
told unmeaningly but which opened up a
great deal of his character to in?. Says he:
“When I was a clerk in the Legislature long
before the war, all we clerks at the end of the
session ‘threw in’ five dollars a piece to have
a big supper with, and turned the money over
to one of the boys—a good fellow, but a wild
one—to buy thiugs with. Now, bo thought
he didn’t have quite enough money to get up
a regular ‘big thing,’ so he went into a faro
bank to try and double it. We didn’t know
anything aboct it; but sore enough he did
win about seventy dollars, and came rushing
op to us with his bands full, shouting—
“ NOW, BOYS, WE’LL HAVE A ROUSER !
I’ve won seventy dollars, and we’ll have the
biggest supper that ever was cooked”—. But
I stopped him. “No, sir,” I says; “that
money don’t belong to us, and can’t be used
for us. If you bad lost any of our money, I
should bave insisted on your making it up
out of your own pocket You happened to
win; 2 insist on your keeping it all. If yon
had lost, you would have had to shoulder all
the loss. You win, and must shoulder all tbe
profit.”
Now, I consider this little story better than
* Sunday school book, and almost equal to
a tract.
Mr. Hyer, tbe English Consul at Pensacola,
is here, and is the prince of the whist table.
Mr. Anderson, of Savannah, who is working
a large colony of French people on his plan
tations, is here, and reports himself highly
delighted with them, both as neighbors and
laborers. W. Watkins Hick, tbe impassioned
orator, anti his family, are here. As also is
Captain Webber and his charming lady. The
Captain is on the coast survey, and is at work
near Maiiettn in increasing the points from
which “old probs” can base his prognosti
cations.
GENERAL NOTES.
Business is fins in Marietta. Tbe crops are
splendid, and tbe whole country is awake on
the State Fair question. It is reported that
1,000 people will go to tbe Fair from Cobb,
and every one of them, male and female, and
children, will be dressed in jeans made by
the Concord Woolen Mills in that county.
They bave several tricks on hand that will
make a sensation. They will take the prize
as sure as shooting.
The Mutual Protection Insurance Company,
ot this place, organized on tbe principle of
the Athens Mutual, is doing a fine business,
and assuming huge proportions.
I’m tired. King Hans.
Anti-Monopoly Triumph in Cali

Resolution* of ih • Democratic Convention:
Resolved, That tbe Democratic party seeks to revive
no dead issues, but stands by its principles which are
suited to all times and circumstances, supports tbe
Federal Government iu all constitutional authority,
regards at this day as JrflVrsou did in his day the true
province of republican government to bo the protec
tion of rights and not of interests; defends tlio re
served rights of States and of the people, and opposes
centralization that would impair or destroy tbe con
stitutional rights or independence of other depart
ments. As the executive and legislative departments
under this rule have done in over-s!anghtering the
j honest opinions of the Supremo Court of the ULited
States by increasing their number of appointments of
new Judges, who are subservient tothe executive and
legislative will.
It opposes all interference by law wit* private aifairs
or bnsineas of men that is not required by public
ssfety, and advocates the greatest individual liberality
consistent with public order.
It believes in the capacity of the people for self-gov*
meet.
It holds that the nearer the approximation can be
made to universal free trade, the greater will l>e the
advantage of the Federal Government to the people of
Massachusetts.
It insists on the substitution of a banking system
that shall not cost tba people a higher per centage to
create a currency in a few hands to loan at their own
price to the industrial masses, than any other people
pa7 for money loans wherewith to unfold their enter
prises and compensate the laborers of the nation.
It opposes all legislation that places railroads or
corporations beyond the jurisdiction of the people
through their Legislatures.
Resolved, That intervention by the Fedeial admin
istration in State politics, for the benefit of its favor*
ites and the advancement of its intrigues, notoriously
felt in this Commonwealth, is hostile to the freedom
and pnrity of elect'ons, an insult to tto popular intel
ligence, and merits the indignant reprobation of the
people jealous of their rights.
Resolved, Tnat the timo has uow arrived for rcguit-
tiDg tho hours of work in manufacturing establish,
meets to ten hours for a day, for sixty hours per week
for women and children, aLd that the C invention
pledges itself to support such legislation as will secure
the enactment of snch a law.

A Call for Reinforcements for
the Garrison.
GEN’L VILLA LOU TENDERS
HIS RESIGNATION.
The count of the vote In this city cannot be com
pleted before Friday night or Saturday morning.
Enough is known to assure a complete victory for the
peoples’ anti-Central Pacific Railroad monopoly ticket
for members of both branches of the Legislature, and
also on roost of their municipal candidates. For
mayor and chief of police the contest is very close, but
the railroad issue did not enter into that part
of the canvass. Tho Democrats claim to Lave chosen
both of those officers, the result, however ia in doubt.
Returns from the interior of the State come in very
slowly and it is impossile to make correct estimates
of Ibe result as yet. In Sacramento City where the
railroad shops are located, four thousand votes were
cast. Tbe railroad leaders claim a majority of three
four hundred: This, the Independents say, will
be largely overcome in the country, and so insure a
victory over the railroad. In every town thus far
heard from, the Independent Anti-Railroad is ahead.
Only 5.000 of the votes of this city were counted up
to noon, and the anti monopoly ticket was ahead of
both of the others.
A dispatch from Governor Booth at Sacramento,
gives ten thousand majority against the
IUiiroad ticket in ihe City, the stroDg hold
of the company, which ha? over one thonaand em
ployees .there. Alameda has gone anti. Stockton
gives five hundred independent majority Yolo coun
ty and the city of Benicia have gone iud< «*ndent.
The indications are certain of a grand victory over
the railroad ticket.
Twenty-four counties thus far heard from give auti-
Repnblican majorities, and four give Republican.
Full retnrns from Maysvillc City give a Republican
majority of one hundred and seventy-five over the In
dependent ticket.
The friends of Chief of Police Crowley briieve he is
defeat'd iu this city.

A RELIC OF TIIK LONG AGO-
Tl»e Oldest Man in Macon-Tlio*. Knight,
Ninety-nine Years and 7 Months.
A SUBJECT OF GEORGE THE IIL AND OF ALL THE
PRESIDENTS.
The careful cold hath nipped my rugged rind. .
And in my face deep furrows old hath plight;
My head bespreut with hoary frost I find,
And by mine eye the crow his clsw doth wright
Delight is laid abed, and pleasure past;
No sun now shines—clouds have all overcast.
And thus, iu the great languago of Spenser, in bis
“Shephard’s Calender,” is outlined Thomas Knight,
undoubtedly the oldest man in Macon, if not in Mid
dle Georgia. We met him yesterday hobbling along
tho street supported by bis long staff, feeble in body,
knowing nothing of the present day, bis mind wholly
tunning upon the recollections of tho long, long ago.
His yesterday was fifty years ago. All since only a
dream as of the olden time with men of fewer yoars.
Happy in disposition, ready to converse, especially
upon forgotten epochs in his life, he cheerfully
answered all questions concerning himself.
•« How old are you, Mr. Knight ? ”
.* i was born on tho 7th day of February, 1774, in
Hartford count , North Carolina, aud you young ias-
cals being better at figure* than I am, can count it

of Jesus Christ and of Latter-Day Saints convened here
to-day. Several thousand 8aints from ell parts of the
world are in attendance, a:nl it is expected that the

Dxcuhk or the Gods.— Jagaunatb, thinks
the Pall Mall Gazette, seems to have come to
grief at his late festival at Seiampore. It ap
pears from the account given by tbe Friend of
India that when he was carried forth under
an umbrella and hoisted up on to his princi
pal car, there was none oi that roar of en
thusiasm with which ho w as wont to bo greet
ed in former years. By 2 o'clock the long
rosd, hot and white with dust, was merely
dotted with visitors, aud the police seemed
to be as numerous os the pilgrims. An hour
later tbe orowd was rather more numerous;
but the priests oould not prevail on tbe peo
ple to give Jagaunatb a “shovo off, ” al
though they frantically Called upon those near
to rescue the god from disgrace. Tho attention
of the women in the crowd was far more di
rected toward two Engliah ladies, who were
watohing the scene from the verandah of the
Poliee poet Tbe Mme ill luck befell a rival
car endowed by a Baboo, afterward trans
ported for forgery. The few who conld be
persuaded to tug at the old rope* broke them.
Huuaet, however, brought some devout rus
tics Irom the interior, and tbeee at last drag
ged tbe original oar without an acoidcnt
Year by year tbe attendance has been falling
off, bnt on this cecaaion the contrast was vary
striking. The onee solemn festival is fast be
coming a mere tamssba; and even “elderly
females," who were offlolaily reported ns alone
showing enthusiasm, are fast becoming cold
end careless in their religions exercises.
That makes yea ninety-uine y
en mouths.”
‘‘Yea, I knew I was nearly oue hundred. My oldest
bod, Tom. who now superintends the passenger shed,
was born ou the 18th day of October, 1801, and you see
he is not by any means a young man himself.”
“Can you read by the aid of glasse*?”
“No, I cannot. About thirteen years ago whilst I
was boring coin au optical illusion passed before me.
Having overtaxed my body it gave way; the sky turned
as green as glass, and reeled as a drunken man. j
have never been able to distinguish anything since,
only very imperfectly. And since then I bave walked
the earth feeling intoxicated. Five months ago I had
a hard fall bruising my side, and in spite of all I could
do the place would not heal up. Thia ia the first morn
ing I have been out since,but my side pains me very
much yet.”
This old relic of the eighteenth century. who l ired
when France loved Josephine and adored Napoleon,
when Russia wept over her burned Kremlin, when
George the III. was his king, living within sound of
the cannons of Yorktown pointed by the matchless
genius cf that matchless Southron, Washington, he
still lived to see his native State plundered and rav
aged by the incarnate Sherman one hundred y«a:t
later.
Coming to Georgia soon after the close of the Revo
lutionary war, he found it a virgin wilderness and has
seen it grow from youth to age, but in the reverse of
hiB own nature, for whilst he gTows the more feeble
by the lapse of years, the 8(ate grows the stronger.
Of him it cannot be said as in “Miller’s Mahomet”—
This heart, by age and grief congeal’d.
Is ro more sensible of love's endearments
Than are our barren rocks to morn’s sweet dew.
That calmly trickles down their rugged cheeks.
For he devotedly loves his children and hiB great
grandchildren to the third generation, all of whom be
has endeavored to raise in perfect honor.
A Game Cliicken.
General Jackson said that a chicken had more gen
uine courage than anything in the world, and never
could see the sense in the old saying, “chlcken-heart-
cJ,” indicative of cowardice. As illustrative of the
gameuess of a chicken, a boy went into one of onr
warehouses yesterday, and was offered a game cock if
he would catch him. He started for him, when the
chicken put himself upon the defensive. Whilst just
iu the set of picking him up, the game cock flew at
aud buried one of his spurs to the bone in the calf of
the boy’s leg. The boy left tbero with a howl equal to
that of a hotel porter calling passengers for a daylight
train, and twice at interesting and instructive. He
told his mother that the reason he limped waa he’d
stuck a briar in hi* foot.
“An«l T hey Shall Convert Their Swords
Into Plowshares.**
The Armory Building erected by the Confederate
Government for the purpoee of manufacturing arms
and moulding shot and shell has been ordered, by the
City Council, torn down. A portion of the brick are to
be used for the erection of two public school houses
in the city, and the ba ance, including all the Imuber,
stone, etc., will, in a few days hence, be at public out
cry to the highest bidder.
Many citizens who have been fondly dreaming of
day seeing a cotton factory there, with fotty thou
sand spindles, will deeply regret to learn this; but the
decree has goue forth, and cannot be helped now. A
few years ago, as is well remembered, a company waa
formed iu New York for this purpose, but failing to
commence earnest work upon it, tho city moved for an
annu meat of the contract. The suit was finally com
promised, and the property reverted back.
We believe the grounds contain about twenty .five
acres. They have been surveyed and cut up into
ninety-two building lots, and will also be sold so soon
as the woik of demolition shall have been completed.
Tho main building is truly magnificent. Like
most all structures put up by a -gen
eral government, the material used is
of the finest character. The brick were made here
and the stone quarried from Stone Mountain. Major
Robert Burton, formerly of the British Boyal Engi
neers, but who offered his sword to the Confederacy,
was the chief superintendent of the work, and it fully
Bhows that a master mind directed it.
That Great Ruffle.
J. J. Clay, at the solicitation of many of his friends
and the admirers of his famous and noted four-in-
hand, in fact the acknowledged champion team of
America—Gray Eagle, Flying Cloud, Tempest and
Sunshine—has decided to raffle them off on the 30th
of October, Fair week, together with his fine genuine
Brewster Phwtoa which will arrive here during the
week, and his gold-mounted premium Harness.
First throw. Eagle and Cloud; sccoud. Tempest and
Sunshine; third, Pbn>ton; fourth. Harness— $10.00
per chance for all. There were fifty-six chances taken
the first day in Macon.

thanka of the andienoe for tbeir indefatigable and
successful efforts for the pleasure of the tittle onee,
and not less no the entertainment of the older

Crazed by a Wife’s Elopement.
A TOUNO GERMAN SALESMAN SHOOTING HIMSELF
IN THE BREAST.
Early last spring, Felix Holzaffle and his
wife rented a room at 75 Itivingtou street,
where, as far as the other occupants of the
house are aware, they lived happily. Holzaf-
fle is an intelligent and industrious German,
twenty-one years of age, and was a'salesman
for McCormack and Baxter, furniture dealers,
at Broadway and Great Jones street. His
wife is one or two years younger, and pos
sessed of considerable beauty. A few
days ago Mis. Holzaffle quitted lnr hus-
bank, taking her trunk aLd valuablt s. At
first the deserted husband supposed that she
had started for Europe, in furtherance of a
design which she had frequently spoken of,
bat soon be learned that she had eloped with
John Sprink, of 1G1 Stanton street. For
several days Holzaffle vainly sought his er
ring wife, and it was noticed that her unfaith
fulness had apparently dethroned bis reason.
Yesterday morning, at a quarter to eight, a
pistol shot was heard in Holzaffle s room, and
at the same time a sound as of the falling
of a body. Several of the neighbors entered
the room and found Holzaffle lying on
the floor and bleeding from a shot wound iu
the left breast, a little above the heart. His
right hand, which was extended at his side,
lay over a large-sized navy revolver. It was
thought that he was dying.
Officers Hencken, Brookheim, and Gibson,
of the Eldridge street police, were sent to the
house by Captain Ward, and the dying man
was removed to the police station. Here Dr.
Saville attended him, and alter making au
examination, ordered his removal to Bellevue
Hospital. The ballet peuetrated the upper
lobe of the left lung, aud Dr. Saville pro
nounced the wound mortal.
At the hospital, Dr. Griffith extracted the
ball, which was found near the shoulder. At
a late hour last nigbt Holzaffle was doing
very well, and Dr. Griffith had hopes of his
recovery.
Before shooting himself Holzaffle wrote a
letter to Mr. H. Knucklentz, care of Louis
Stia A Co., 17 White street. It was written
in German, in a straggling hand, .and parts of
it were almost illegible. The following is a
translation:
Dear Herman—I cannot live without
Anna. She is in New York. Maybe she will
save my death from her unhappinsss. Oh
pray mamma, a thousand times for forgive
ness. I would like to have seen her odco
more. Oh, Herman, my misfortune and my
nnhappiness are so great. My heart is break
ing. My lifa without hers !
Yoors, truly, until death—death,
Felix.
The letter bears no date, but stems to have
been hurriedly written with a lead pencil just
before the shooting.
Col. Tift’s Mission.
Hon. Nel.-von Tift, who-*e mission here ex
cited considerable interest among our citi
zens, receivt d the assurance from President
Wilder, of tbe Sbort-line Railroad, that his
company would heartily co-operate in th« low
freigbt combination seaward, provided the
Lonisvilte and Nashville Railroad would do
so. Mr. DuPont also expressed tbe belief
that the Board of Directors of the Elizabeth
town and Padncah Railroad would co-op»-rate,
provided the SL Louis and Southeastern
Road would do so, as tbe Elizabethtown a»$d
Paducah Railroad will run over that road
some distance to Nashville.
during a conversation with one of our
shrewdest and most indefatigable railroad
men, Col. Tift had all tbe difficulties of the
situation stt before him. The immense
moneyed influence which the new enterprise
would have to contend against, when it
touched the business of a road like the
Pennsylvania Central and others, was suggest
ed, and the incohate condition of tbe South
ern trade in the Gulf States alone were duly
considered. Col. Tift believes that he will
succeed in obtaining th9 connection between
Nashville and Cincinnati by the acquiescence
of ibe Nashville railroad.
The business of that road being largely as
an immense feeder to the Pennsylvania Cen
tral and other Northern roads, there seems to
exist a serioos obstacle in tbe way of divert
ing such a powerful stream of freightage yito
an entirely new channel.
Such things have, however, been accom
plished. Aud Col. Tift is very resolute aud
hopeful of the prospects of tbe Liverpool and
S a van nab steamship line and railroad connec
tions.— Lou isuille Courier-Journal.
Tlie Symptoms of Health.
Health has its symptoms as well as disease.
The cl« ar eye, the Iresb complexion, the stea
dy hand, the firm step, the unclouded brain,
briskness of spirit?, and a disposition to look
ou the bright side of anything are indication;
that the animal machinery is in perfect work
ing order. Happy are they whose rnuning
gear of lile is in this excellent condition, an i
fortunate too are they who know how to tri g
it into such a condition if disarranged. Aii
who have experienced or witnessed the effect
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters upon the weak,
broken down, desponding victims of dyspep
sia, liver complaint, fever and ague, rheuma
tism, nervous debility, or premature decay,
know that in this supreme tonic and altera
tive there exists a specific principle which
reaches the very source of the trouble and
effects an absolute and permanent cure. E
Pluribus Unmn might be aptly inscribed on
the label, for tbe preparation is a plurality of
remedies condensed into one irresistible anti
dote.
