MACON. QA., APRIL 11. 1873.
Mrs M. O Organ, of Delaware county,
Ohio, is walking to New York city as a
“restoration of health.*’ She travels in
lJloomer costume, and calls on the editors
iti tbe towns sbe passes through. In re
turn they all taka pleasure in seeing her
departure from the place.

One of the strange lr<-uk* of fashion in
New York is the rustem of the upper

This Eastman Uki.i.k —H. YV J. Hum
editor of the Eastman, Dodge county,
Georgia Times, lays down the following
rules for Indies to strictly observe in that
town :
• A lady to he extremely stylish now
must be. narrow enough, taken In front,
to pass between the handies of a wheel
barrow without touching either side, but
she call make it up by uny amount of pro
jectlon behind Her head must bn narrow ;
broad heads are very unfashionable. Her
hair must nil go to the top. Her hat
must have all ornamentation massed at
the back. The sides must in all respects
be flat und narrow, the bat plastered on
behind, the lmir parted on the left with
some cards and camps on the right of the
forehead. Then an embroidered camel's
hair polonaise ; side fastened with im
mense elaij if oxydlzed silver. A little
chunk handled English umbrella, swing
ing. like a sword, by an oxydi/.ed chain.
A skill heavily trimmed, tbe fullness
taken entirely to the rear, and rather short
front and sides, but sweeping quite a train
just behind. That’s the pretty picture
to-day. *
Remarks arc poatiirely out of order.

Defeated in the great four mile heat last
year, the Deuiocruts are beating a lively
tune on the quurlcr stretch.
They have elected a Governor in Con
necticut-carried municipal electors right
and left all the way from there to llliuois,
and from thence to the mountains.
" Kar along
From peak to peak, the rattling crags among
l.eapa the live thunder. Not from one chirni,
Hut every mountain now bad found a tongue,
And .tura imawera, through her misty shroud,
Hack to the joyous Alps, who call to her aloud.'
The party is mismanaged. It needs
new men at the lisad of it. It is not what
it once was. It is fossiliferous, effete and
suffering from a dreadful case of dry rot.
The people of the United States have con
demned both the radical and the demo
cratic parties, aa wanting in those elements
of virtue and progress which is now Im
peritlvely detnatuled. One feeds upou
freali garbage—the other is trying te ex
tract a living from tombs.
Both will tail. And under anew name
ami ideas advanced to the spirit of the
limes u new purty will rule and dictate |
the policy of this loluiiry within the nex
four years.
Th* l.nwl IHomniU ot n C'i inilnial
'The Athens Goorgiau has this account
of the last moments of the negro who was
hanged at Jefferson recently, for the criuic
rape : “Through the kindness of Sheriff
Hunter we wero admitted into the jail,
where we interrogated the prisoner as to
his guilt, etc. He positively denied the
crime—said lie was innocent, and that lie
was to sulfer for someone else. We cross
examined him, and, as vf* expected, he
would contradict himself. lie said he was
not afraid to die, but felt as if he would lie
saved. The prisoner was about twenty
veins of age, with a low, receding fore
head, and the pure African demonstrated
in every lineament of his face, llis gen
eral visage pronounced him but a very
few degrees removed from the brute
creation. When the Deputy Sheriff
descended into the cellar to bring him
up Norwood quietly remarked. • I apoae
my day duu cum.’ When he stepped
upon the top floor. Sheriff Hunter
handed a cigar to him. which lie accept
ed. lit. and smoked on hi* way to the gal
lows He mounted the wagon and pro j
cceded on his way. laughing and talking
to Iba cruwo ns he went along He mount
ed the scaffold, mol to >k Ills seat upon the
doomed stand VVa have not space to give
[•articular* of • I that |aissed on the stand.
'1 he prifoin r, with that utter disregard
lor all truth protested his innocence, and
tried to tix the crime upon some of the
mo*( respectable citizen* of Jackson conn
ly. He was very inaaleut and abusive,
and Tiled singing •! am Going Home to
Die no More.’ Dr. Long was in attend
ance, together with another pbyeician
whose name we did not learn. The drop
was sprung by Sheriff Hunter, and after
an examination by Dr. Long, he was pro- j
nounced dead, and his body turped over
to friends for interment. ’’ 1
The man} recent executions wnicb have
taken place in the eountry of late, sud
especially the peculiar features of tbo
Foster case, have given rise to a more
earnest discussion of the wisdom of capi
tal punishment, and the brutality of bang
ing. Professor Burt Wilder advocates
chloroforming tbe condemned to death.
And now the Philadelphia Medical Times,
a weekly paper that has in a few months
asserted its title to high consideration os
au authority in all matters concerning its
speciality, takes notice of this discussion
on the gallows, and asks: “Why cannot
condemned criminals spend their last mo
menta in a room in which carbonic acid
is generated, by the well known means,
until life is extinct? The very silence nl
the process would be impressive. The
uiHNii rer would imply cease to exist

IV law would be vindicated, and the
hrule eourasif of ih i ' game ’ convict
would have no chance to infect his asm
Ciaies.”
W hose Uk* Crime I
Reporter—Do you lay this disaster at
Capt Williams’s door ?
Mr Vick—Nh all, sir. JVrsuully, I
sin very fond ui Capt Williams, and if 1
Imd a vei set to |iut to sea to-morrow Capt
Williams should command it. Ifu :ude
die one iiiftiake of his life in going ep
About one o'clock lie went to the cliait
room, Hud did not come out again until the
vessel struck lie was the coolest man
on board, and did the most for the passen
eer. As to Ids drinking, I could swear
that he never drank during the voyage.
Even at the hall suppers he didn’t take any
wine, lie admits that he made a miscal
culation, and by it we were taken thirty
two miles from our bearings. The Captain
is now us near crazy as any man can be.
He does not speak of the wreck without
weeping bitterly, and endures tbe greatest
mental agony. I feel sorry for Capt. Wil -
liams, and believe him to bn as comp< leni
on oillcer as ever sailed a ship.
Reporter—Well, Mr. Vick, who is re
sponsible for this loss of life?
Mr. Vick—The managers at Liverpool,
sir. Thu agent ulllrms it when he sa> s the
vessel took only ‘.Mill tons of coal, when
she is supposed to carry 1,400. Coming
over, Mr. Merritt and Mr Fisher went
down to look at the coal bins, and came
up with their bunds black, and said,
"Cheer up, we've got coal enough to last."
I beard later that they were burning ashes
and oil, and I never heard any of the otli
cersdeny the story. We were short of
provisions also, for when we were 575
miles from Handy Hook we had only two
days' provisions. Considering the March
winds ami tbe large number of passengers
on hoard we certainly ought to have iiad
coal bunkers filled to the top. Tbe Liver
pool men are to blame, sir, and not Capt.
Williams. I knew a large number of the
passengers, and deplore their death. Tbo
Merrills were tine people, and, as I told
their relative, they arc among the unfor
tunate. One of the family has goue to
Halifax, uud will he in the city witli tbe
remains in a few ilajs Story of the Wreck

Mn. A T. Stewart Kecovhrin.—
Although Mr. A. T. Mlewart has for a
fortnight been dangerously sick, bis phy
sician, Dr. White, reported last night that
he was convalescent and improving. Ou
Saturday lie sat up a lew hours and re
ceived several visitors. Yesterday he
arose from his bed and ate his dinner in
Ids bedchamber. Callers were denied ad
mission by advice of tiic physicians. Dr.
White declined to stale the nature of the
disease, but said it was not Bright's dis
ease, as reported by u morning newspaper.
He believe* that Mr. Stewart will lie able
to attend to business in ten days.
