(Correspondence of the Des Moines Leader ]
It appears that one Geddis, a young sprig
of the Law, was jilted about three years since
i by Miss Mary Frey, the daughter of a far
mer living near Newton. Geddis took his
ill success greatly to heart, brooding over it
day and night. Sometimes he would make
some of the most terrible threats against Miss
Mary, while at ethers it was his unfortunate
the attorney in regard te collecting for the
sociation, and report at our next meeting up- j
on what terms some competent attorneys ser
vices can be secured, said attorney to be known
as tbe attorney for the association. Adopted.
». M. B, Carlton, W. E. Boyd, N. Lyons,
were appointed.
The members then proceeded to deposit
the names of daad beats, which were duly ca
tered in the books of each member.
The members were notified |that the quar
terly dues became due to-uight, fifty cents be

OUR FAIRBURN LETTER.
THZ OTHER SIDE OF THE ROMANCE OF LOVE
UNDER DIFFICULTIES AND MARRIAGE
ON THE RUN.
To the Editors of the Herald:
A you: g man came from Macon a few weeks
ago, and soon afltr his arrival, became heels-
overhead, heart, soul hnd appetite, enamored
with a young lady near this place. Although
a very small man to support even a moustache,
he seemed to be chuck lull, swelling and
oozing with sentimentality and effected with
the most frightful symptoms of bursting with
seething, uuadulterati d and uncontrulubie
love, unless something should be speedily
done,
So on Saturday evening he went down t
rected; Some thought him half crazy, while
* j ottanis believed him sane but savage. He was
“ | finally iu<\uce<i to leave the country, and noth-
■Wing was seen of him until this spring, when
he again reuppeatud and sought the hand of
Miss Frey. He was promptly rejected, where
upon be becarno ten times worse tbad ever,
and so violent were Lis threats that he was
arrested and brand over to keep the peace in
tho sum of $500.
Sunday afternoon, as Mr. Frey and family
were returning home from church, Geddis
suddenly appeared and discharged three cham
bers of his revolver at Mr. Frey. None of
the shots took effect, when he suddenly boun
ded towards Miss Mary, and before anybody
could interfere had approached within a few
feet of her, when he took deliberate aim and
fired. Miss Frey immediately fell to the bot
tom of tbe wagon, aud Geddis leaped into the
bush and was gone. Tbe young lady was
found to be severely wounded, but it is the
opinion of Dr. Gorrell that she will fully re
cover, provided tbe bhock to her nervous sys
tern was not too great. The Freys are regar-1
ded as resptciable people, and Miss Mary has
always been a great favorite in the communi
ty. As I write hundreds ot horsemen are
scouring praitie, wood, and dell, and if Ged
dis is not many miles away he will undoubt
edly be caught. In that event Judge Lynch
will exert cxnct but terrible justice.
Mobrs’s Wifm.— A clerical gentleman from
whom tbe Drawer ia always pleased to hear.
■ends the following:
As I was paying pastoral visits, some years
ago, in the State of Tennessee, a ludy came
to me:
I'm very glad yoo’ve come. I was reeding
in the Bible the other day about Moses mar
rying a nigger, and wish )OU would explain
the matter."
‘It don’t read that way in my Bible," I
replied. "It reads that Mcses married an
Ethiopian woman.”
“Well, doesn’t that mean a nigger ?”
“ I will tell you how it was,” I answered.
There was a terrible war waged \/f the Ethio
pians against the Egyptians, and two great
armies sent from Egypt against them had
been destroyed. The Ethiopians were g >v- | Brown sheet;ujTaad Shirting
erned by a magnificent queen, something like
Semiramis, who led out her own armies, aud
knew how to gain a victory. But when Moses j Biea-.hedCottoii
was sent with a third Egyptian army against
her, he asked help cf G<>d, and mauaged so j Checks
wisely that the queen agreed to surrender all
her forces to him and become tributary to |
Egypt, provided he would marry her."
“ Well," said the old lady,
wasn’t any common nigg< r.”

eral allowance was made tor a homestead,
when men and women, bachelors or maids,
manird or Separate, negro or mu latto, called
all homts^ead; Then the appearance of trust
was dismal, aud horribly spotted, and hope
bad almost ff-d, aud credit, had almost taken
its final flight, seeing no where to loop its
hope^; because mans promise was one thing,
1 and the power to cause him to make them
1 good, was another. It men; and their prop
erty were made by law to sell the same story,
and one to Verity the other, the country
would be in a much better condition.
But to the point. When all was hopeless,
or nearly so, when the grocer’s hope was dim,
when his rights had be-n beaten and mangled,
the good Samaritau came along iu the shape
of law; yes, an act to amend the garnishment
law of this State, which made wages subject
to grubb til h. The good law was enacted in
1»72 and 1873, and the Fame law was mag
nified and m~.de stronger. The makers of
this law should receive our gratitude and ad
miration.
I do not feel it necessary to say that we will
co-op‘-rate with similar associations, for this
is as natural as for water to seek its level.
Having discussed the object of our associa
tion 1 now pass to the duty of its member*.
It is a dusy we owe to ourselves, and to
each other, to keep a faithfal watch over our
memberahip, and each for himself should
make a g./od and honorable member. We
should be jealous of our rights and privileges,
and we cun foster these best by keeping per
iectly organized, for in union there ii
strength, and in multitudes of counsel there
is satety.
I cannot say that it is a duty of members to
be present at each meeting, but thoee who
mogritibii into the most aulent, ex ri»»g»ut j twenty-one units on their journey

was, hastilyliudited her a two-page letter, in ! anil the constant scarcity ot farm houses. The
which he begged her not to drive him to mur- j next and substqnent days of their journey
derand suicide, and tendered her wealth, ! they got over » Rrent deal of ground without
honor and happiness if she would fly ««aUi feeling much fatigued, and on their arrival at
with him. That recaptivated his intended,
and she again flew. But before the little
fellow could get his Squire aud license the
bad boys had stole his spicy again. This
time he roared like a lion, chafed like the
most fiery steed, brayed like the animal most
skilled in the art, and after many most extra
ordinary fantastic exploits and imiuon.se trav
eling around, be discovered his lost bird again,
but unfortunately for him, ht* had lost or mis
laid his squire. So while he was hunting that
necessary g» ntlcman these same rude boys
stoled his gal again. This completely over
come tbe little fellow aud he mingled tears
with operatic profanity and startling threats
of a Rix-febooter. But that not producing the
gal, he offered fifty dollar* reward for the lost
bird with proof to convict. And also most
pitifully besought the Solicitor Geueral to
issue warrants ad infinitum, an I then mos:
frail tic ly inquired it Oharly Ross had not been
heard from,"saying the country could bear
Cbarly’s loss, but he wanted to die if
was gone too. On accouut of his size the
boys persuade him that he needed a Doctor’s
certificate, which he hastily’ procured. But
exhibiting this aud shaking it defiantly', ell
opposition succumbed. The Squire took his
position, the happy couple theirs, and amid u
crowd of curious spectators, mostly boys, the
twain were made one aud the little fcllew bus
been griuning ever since. He struts around
with huge pomposity; evidently conscious
that he is one of th* giants of tho earth, or lie
could never have triumphed over so many
difficulties. I think they will do well it they
don’t evaporate - such affections are danger
ous. Success to the happy couple.
A CARD FROM PROF. VINCENT.
| To this Editors of the Herald:
| No-Withateuding th® explicit wording of my card
st*nt, (or lith iuitAnt, a* It wan incorrectly dated in
the Herald,) a portion of the public Lave the im
pression that Mr. Rates had exacted that card cf me
through fear on my part; that he demanded a retrac
tion of ms, and that I Lav j in that card compiled with
such demand, and thereby compromised my honor a*
a gentleman.
I hereby state that Mr. E*te*obtained nothing from
me under a demand; that I retracted nothing I had as-
aertei; that thera was nothirg dine by dj under any
threat or fear of Mr. Eaten; tta* there was no com
promise of honor on the part of either of cn, ai d tb t
say as-ertion to the contrary made by any oue is to
tally false.
My card and my explanatory commaelc-.tInn were
given ii the pnblic purely with the desire tojdo Mr. Es
tes justice; a* an act due him from me as a friend and
as a gentleman.
Thia i* Mr. Estes’ understanding of the tffair, as
since expressed te me privately. Any other under
standing of my conduct in the affaii is utterly false,
and whoever ascribes to me any other motive or ac

The Visiting Darkles.
The city yesterday afternoon was filled lo
overflowing with colored excursionists. The
fire company and a brass band lrom Colum
bus, caused some flutter among our darkhs.
Last night the Atlanta Cushitee gave two or
three ball* to their visitors. A band from Co
lumbus gave a prt tty fair concert at James’
Hall. Two things were noticeable to the mo.-t
casual observer. Fir*t, The good order ol the
aodience and the manner ia which the hear

most brilliant and beautiful of all the young

tea garden of tbe Orient. She is hlmond-
e.y*d, and Las small feet, a retrousse nose, and
high cheek bones. Her name is Gah-Bab,
which signifies "mobt beautiful of all the
beautiful.” Her father, Ah-Jong, is a retir
ed tea merchant, residing on Sixth streot.—
Her favored admirer, (said to be at least) is
Tu-Lang, a sales man in a Central avenue

sprinkles through his teeth in Covington,
and is said to be likely to inherit a fortune.—
Ah-Lung is a noted roue, and Ah-Jung has for
bidden him the house. Still he hopes that
his suit may prosper. A few day* siuce he
made a desperate attack on Tu-Lang, ou the

as he surveyed the people belore him. Everyl
body settled into his or her allotted place.
Tne ceremony was about to be commenced
when it suddenly struck the bride that the
bridegroom was non est. She clasped her
hands to ner heart, and with a piercing shriek,
fell senseless. Clear as a bell over the clam
or that ensued was heard the voice of the
father calling npon his friends aud relations
to go in search of the missing one. Hi^h
and low they hunted,b it the game could not be
found. At last the “coon was treed," and
they discovered the object of their search
comfortably ensconced among tho spreading
branches ol a lofty oak. Ou being requested
to descend, inquired **if they saw anything
green about bim,’ - to which those below, who
had their eyes ou his surroundings, replied,
"Plenty.” In tbe midst ol an exchange oi
violent epithets, he gave a characteristic re
mark to tho following effect: That "ne
would bo derned if he would till that real
estate was trausterrsd." While the brido was
thus bowed down iu anguish, and the bride
groom boughed up in the tree, the father-in-
law tore his huir, and amid sobs and tears
urged tb* unreasonable nature of the request,
but to no effect. Finally, the document was
brought forth, duly signed, and the recalci
trant bridegroom slid down the tree. After
the necessary repairs were made in his panta
loons with his rente* secured and his rents
sown up, the bridegroom adjourned with the
rest of the party to the chapel. Tho bride
recovered from her faint, the cure took a fresh
pinch of snuff, and the knot was tied.
"Among the hifdorics of unsuccessful at
tempts at political assassination," says tbe
Pans Journal, " is one dating fro.n the early
part of the reign of Queen Isabella II. In
those days lived at Madrid a man of family
named Ang^l ne la Vega, but us ho wh| dying
of hunger, sullen'aDger filled bis heart, and at
last he fixed his hate on the quean and resolv
ed to kill her. One evening, as she was pass
ing the Puerto del Sol, he fired at her and
missed; he was immediately seised and takrn
to prison. When his trial commenced lie dis
dained to defend himself and was aenteuced
to death. Tbo fatal day arrived, and he was
about to be taken to the plac« of puuisbnitnt,
when the queen ordered him to be brought
before her. 'Don Angel,’ ebe said, 'I paidon
you, but you inu-.t leave Spain at cnceund
forever. My tnasurer will furnish 3011 wnh
the means,’ Tbe man retired, filled with an
emotion easy to comprehend, and, during ten
years, nothing more was heard of him. Ai
length the day of exile came tor Qn«*« a Isa
bella, who took refuge in Taris. Tho firs
visit she received was from Don Angtl, who’
having become rich through sptcuiatiouH at
the Puri* Bourse, came to lay at the disposal
of her majesty all he possesHed. Tho queen
refused the oiler of the old regicide, and the
latter, deeply hmt, left for America, where he
still resides."
The Watchman and Reflector (Baptist)
claims that the Baptist denomination must
have much more to do in cementing North

never been broken. The Baptist Education

How Thimbles are Made.—The manufac
ture of thimbles is very simple, but singular
ly interesting. Coin silver is mostly used,
nnd is obtained by purenasing coin dollars.
Hence it happens tnat the profit* of the busi
ness arc aflVcted instantaneously by all tho
variations in the nation s greenback promises
to pay. Tho first operation strikes a novice
as almost wicked, for it is nothing else than
putting a lot of bright silver dollars, fresh
from the mjnt, ni'o dirty crucibles, and melt
ing them up into solid ingots. These are
lolled out to the required thickness, aud'cut
by a stamp into thimble pieces of any requir
ed size. A solid metal bar of tho size ot the
inside of tho intended thimble, moved by
powerful machinery op and down iu a bottom
less mould of the outride ol the samethimhle-
bendstbe circular disks into tho thimble,
ship© as fast us they can bo placed under
the descending b^r. Once in shape, the
work of brightening, polishing and dec
oration is done upon u l ithe. First, the blank
form is lit toil upon a rapidly-revolving rod.
A slight touch of a shnrp chisel takes a thin
shaving from tbe end, another does the same
ou th'< sid©, and tho third rounds off the rim.
A round steel rod, dipped in oil aud pressed
upon the surtacc, gives it a lustrous polish.
Then a little revolving steel wheel, whose edge
is a raised ornament, held against the revolv
ing blank, prints that ornament just outside
the 11m. A second wheel prints a different
ornament around the centre, while a third
wheel with sharp points makes the indenta
tions on the lower half and end of the thimble.
The iusido is brightened nnd polished ih a
similar way, the thimble being held in a re
volving mould. All that remains to bo done
is to boil the completed thimbles in soapsuds
to romovo the oil, brush them up and pack

Some person wrote a letter to Spurgeon tell
ing him that bis gout was sen! as a judgment
from God npon him b»r opposing tbo Church
ot England. Ho rep!*-** (o it us follows iu hi6
paper, the Sword nnd Trowel:
•• If a swollen leg proven that man is under
God's displcuHiire, what would a broken neck
prove? Wo ask tlm question with special ref
erence to I ho luto Bishop of Winchester. As
for the ir/j.mation that on account of our
latospeecn at the Liberation Society's meet
ing wo shall soon have another attack, and in
ull probability be curried iff by it, wo will
wait aud st-* if it be true. Dt spite the fact
that the writer claims to be a clergyman, we
ate no more disturbed thau if he had signed
his name Zadkiel. '(he amount of bitterness
winch the post h is brought us during the lost
month has proved to onr own satisfaction that
our blows h^ve not mirsed the mark; but uoue
write so furiously as our evangelical friend*,
who probably are more uneasy in their con
sciences than others of the .State Church
clergy."
