Oskosh.—Was it the name of the place
which resulted in the destruction of the
City of Oskosh ? It does look a little im
probable that a town can wear such a

haps fallen on some parties who were not
responsible for the crime. We must look
into the almanac and see how it is.

Cardinal Manning.—A cable dispatch
received in New York, on Thursday, by a
prominent clerical functionary, states
that the English Cardinal Manning is
failing rapidly, and is not expected to
live. This sudden sickness was probxbly
caused by the hard weather which Car
dinal Manning experienced when coming
hack from Boms recently, whero he went
to receive from the hands of the Pope
tho cardinal’s hat, after which ceremony
the newly-made cardinal delivered a ser
mon in the Church of San Gregorio.
Tin postmaster at Monti cello, Georgia,
recently performed the feat of reading a
letter without hearing its contents. An
old woman who had never been to school,
got a letter one day, and asked the post
master to read it for her. She did not
want him to hear it, so she took a wad of
cotton oat of her pocket and staffed his
ears with it. She then had him to read
the letter in a low voice, and was per
fectly satisfied that the reader could not
hear a word of it. This is reported as a
late actual occurrence.
The Bowen Libel Suit.—The jury in
this case, as has already been stated,
stood eleven for acquittal to one for con
viction. The obstinate juror was one
Wm. EL Ahrens, who was the only juror
not on the original panel. The News and
Courier says he was taken from "the list
famished by the sheriff to fill up the
panel, and was selected by Judge Beed
under the sadly erroneous but natural
assumption that he was tho highly re
spectable King-street grocery merchant
of the same name. W. H. Ahrens keeps
a little groggery at the comer of Arch
dale street and Bottle alley.
A height little boy in Nashville, just
three years old, is, like most little chaps
of his age, sometimes refractory. In or
der to enrb him and make him a good
-little hoy, his mother often threatened
him with a peach tree "persuader.” The
little fellow has come to understand any
allusion to the peach tree, and usually
subsides when it is spoken of. A few
days ago, since the flowering of the fruits
trees, a slight reference was made to this
same tree, 4 when the little fellow made
peace for tho rest of the day by looking
up and saying: "Why, mamma, the
switches are covered with roses.”
We fear Postmaster-General Jewell is
an unmitigated snob. At a recent re
ception given by him, the “Boss,” his
cabinet, and their retinue known as
"the court," were ushered into the sup
per room and the doom were then closed
on the other guests. After "tho court”
had feasted, the vulgar herd were ad
mitted. “Tho court” was given cham
pagne, bnt for the rest of the guests
sherry was thought to be good cnongh.
A gentleman asked for a glass of cham
pagne for a lady, bat in vain, a flunky
answering loftily, “The champagne is
only for the court, sir. There’s sherry for
the other guests.”
A Bepublican Bonfire.—Tho Union
xwiguc tnuvgwroo i— - Vw.b f -**i*rczx
was burnt oat a few day3 ago, is the sub
ject of invidious criticism by tho press of
that city. The club spared no expense
to make solid and baanfcifnl -walla of cost
ly marbles, and then to fill them with
combustibles in the shape of wooden floors
and timber, and piled a lumber yard on
top in the form of a wooden Mansard
roof. These,'were in incessant contact
with inflammable substances like fierce
Badical politicians, civil rights, whisky,
knklox outrages, election fire works, be
sides the kitchen fires below, from which
the labors of an unselfish loyalty and pa
triotism drew inspiration and reward in
omoking soups, joints and stews. Alas
that the spoils of a plethoric treasury
should have vanished in useless flame,
when the chance of farther stoalage has
so wofally diminished.
The Great Eailboad Wab.—John W.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
OhioBailroad Company, in a speech be
fore tho directors of that read, delivered
on the 14th instant, say3 that the result
of the war so far ha3 been an increase of
tho gross earnings of the road for the
month of March, as compared with the
same month of last year, amounting to
S103.773.S2. The main stem increased
earnings forty-five per cent, and the
Chicago division more than eighty per
cent. The petroleum shipments to Bal
timore, from the 1st of lost January, wero
5,025,505 gallons, against 310,722 gallons
last year, and the business of the city
generally, has shown an almost corres
ponding development, while Philadelphia
and New York display a corresponding
loss. The Baltimore and Ohio Bond is,
therefore, in high spirits over the war
and want it to go on.
The Isthmus Canal.—As has been an
nounced, the Panama surveying expedi
tion, under charge of Commander E. P.
Lull, arrived in New York, on Tuesday
on the steamship Acapulco, having com
pleted the survey of the Isthmus of Da
rien. It is stated that the result of the
survey has clearly demonstrated the
practicability of constructing an inter-
ccaanic canal ronto. The report that the
party had finished their survey from
Panama to Asp inwall, and had pro
nounced it to be tho most desirable route
for the construction of tho canal, was
received with great satisfaction by the
peoplo of Panama. During the prog
ress of tho survey the Congress at Bo
gota manifested its interest in the
project by the introduction of a bill in
the House of Bepresentatives by ono of
the deputies from Panama, to anthorizo
the appointment of an exploring commis
sion of Columbian engineers to examine
three routes for a canal.
Kerosene !—According to the tele
grams the coal oil refiners havo combined

cotton down and the pigs in the garden—
still, my love, look at tho price of fie—
only twenty-five cents a gallon 1 The
Yankees robbed us of our liberty and
our " niggers ”—but look at the price of
ile ! That i3 comfort for you. There is
light amid tho darkness — price only
twenty-five cent3 a gallon! Do yon re
member when you paid that cool six
thousand dollars in Confed. for a gallon
of kerosene ? Bnt now look at it—only
twenty-five cents a gallon. Lot tho fates
and the furies rage and the harpies of
starvation gnash their teeth and sharpen
thoir claws, we’ll keep our eyes fixed on
that one bright and greasy spot of ile at
twenty-five cents a gallon, and think of
nothing else. Thai stands atween ns and
utter despair. That is left to show there
is ono cheap thing in the nniverso be
sides air and water—but now that’s a
going—going—gone! Let U3 cry.
During the introductory prayer to the
exercises at Concord last Monday, the
platform on which tho President sat,

That Iiihel Bolt.
It was announced in our Wednesday
dispatches that the result of the DawBon-
Biordan case was a mistrial—eleven jurors
being for acquittal, against one for con
viction.
This is a great letting down to Bowen,
and shows that truth and honesty, des
pite the arbitrary rulings of a Badical
Judge, and the pressure of ignorant ne
groes, are beginning once more to be as
serted and felt In Sonth Carolina. It
wonld have been strange indeed if the
gnilty sheriff, with hi3 pockets staffed
with the pelf of office, and his all staked
upon the issue, could not havo polled one
vote on the jury.
But now, shall we not hear of his arrest
and imprisonment, 03 accessory before the
deed, to the mnrder of a gallant man, his
own superior officer, under the sworn dep
osition of a living witness ? Moetassnr-
ediy so, if justice be not asleep, and im
munity for Badical crime still tho role
in that nnhappy State.
Bnt, up to this moment, Bowen’s con
viction for crime has been the hoar of his
triumph. Immediately executive clem
ency interposes, and new honors are
heaped upon him by the insensate mass,
who have been armed with the ballot
under the usurping edict of a tyrannical
government. On the whole, we should
not be surprised if he was sent the next
time to the United States Senate, or
elected Governor. This wonld be the
legitimate travestie of right and justice
under negro and carpet-hag rule. What
better could bo expected ?
Principles, not Men.
It i3 refreshing in these degenerate
times to note the following instance of
exalted pluck and patriotism. Mr. W.
F. Findley, editor of the Gainesville
Southron, in announcing the name of his
father as another Bichmond in tho field
against B. H. Hill, speak3 thus of the
old "governor:”
Still They Come—Another Candi
date in the Field.—On the eve of go
ing to press we learn that Col. J. J. Find
ley, of Hall county, has announced him
self a candidate for Congress. This places
us in an awkward position, Whilo we
have at our mast-head the name of Hon.
B. H, Hill, and desire to see him in Con
gress, we have that parental affect.on
which should characterize every eon to
ward his father, yet we cannot give him
our snpport. We have ever differed with
him in politics, and regret to oppose him
in his race, a3 we have a great desire for
him to succeed. As matters now stand,
we are the worst mixed up man in the
whole country. To advocate the claims
at mr, urn* urr one eiqc^tlllcx uppusu our
father on the other, is not an enviable
position. Wonld that it were not so;
but as we have espoused Mr. Hill’s cause,
we will stand by him to the end.
Now that young man had better look
sharp, or there may be a revival of hi3
birchen days. Wo heard and aged an hon
ored son of Liberty county affirm that
his mother, whoso memory he greatly
revered, often said to him, “Joseph, I
don’t care how tall or old yon grow, you
shall obey me, or I will box yonr ears
even if I have to plant a ladder against
you to reach them.”
This was a genuine revolutionary Spar
tan mother, and it is a pity that parental
authority could not always bo thus reso
lutely maintained. Bnt in the present
instance, our sympathies.are with the
young editor who is on the right political
track, and shonld not allow the "old man’
or all the powers of earth combined, to
"switch him off.”
THB GEORGIA PRESS,
Wx learn from tho Atlanta HeralcCs
"Dashes Here and There” column, that:
"Knickerbocker is the gavorie check for
gentlemen’s suit”—which information
most be both gratifying and important.
The same paper announces that J. J.
Findley, of Gainesville, is ont as the Bad
ical candidate for Congress in the Ninth
district.
We quote the following from the Her
ald :
On Monday night at 8 o’clock an old
fend between Mr. Bobert D. Mann and
Mr. Thos. Magill, rival tioket agents in
the city, culminated in Mr. Magill shoot
ing Mr. Mann through the left arm, frac
turing the bone and rendering the arm
useless. Immediately after the shooting
Magill wept to the station house and de
livered himself np to the police and gave
bond for his appearance. The two ver-
sionsjof the fightare so much at variance
that we give the statements of both of
the parties, and leave the people to draw
their own conclusions as to the origin of
the matter. Mr. Magill says that he
went into the front part of Mann’s office
to send a dispatch, and Mann drawing a
pistol on him ordered him to leave the
office instantly, or take the consequences.
Magill being unarmed retired, but short
ly afterwards, thinking that Mann had
had sufficient time to cool down, re
turned to send the dispatch, which was
of some importance, when Mr. Mann
again drew a pistol on him, and
drove him from the office. Magill then
determined to send the dispatch at
the risk of his life, armed himself with a
large army pistol and entered the tele
graph office again. As he entered Mann
drew a pistol and ordered him ont the
third time. As an answer to these sum
mons to leave, he drew a pistol and com
menced firing. His first shot winged
Mr. Mann and he stopped firing. Mr.
Mann was then taken to fils room, where
his wound was dressed by Drs. Craig and
Knott. According to the decision of the
doctors, the boll entered the left arm
below tho prominence of the shoulder,
passed through the deltoid muscle and
fractured the humerus, embedding itself
in the fascia. Mr. Mann gives about the
following version of the affair, "Mr. Ma-
gill has been endeavoring to break down
my business for the last three years.
Some months since, when he first got a
snpply of tickets from the Western and
Atlantic railroad, he got them with the
understanding that ho was to break down
my business in three months. Bnt he
has. not done it. Ho talked about me
and my business so that I ordered him
never to come into my office. I was sit
ting down m my office in company with
several gentlemen, when Magill came in
at the door with a large pistol in his hand
and said, ‘haul ont your irons and defend
yourself.* And just at that moment fired.
I can’t remember what else took place.”
Mr. Mann was to weak and feeble from
exhaustion that he could not talk mnch,
onrl t|iayfnra wfiL did not get Ills otaUi-
rnent in full.
WeU Put.
The Savannah Homing News thus takes
off the effort to raise a popular revulsion
at the North, by denouncing the election
of Confederate officers to Congresp, in
this wise:
The Badical papers continuo to howl
about “Bebel Generals ” in Congress and
elsewhere in the Democratic party. They
havo forgotten all about Longstreet, Orr,
Mosby, Akerman, Alcorn, and a host of
other “ Bebel Generals ” whom tho Bc-
pnblicans have given some of the highest
positions in the control of the Govern
ment.
Tho same paper has this paragraph
also:
Quite a largo drove of hooves passed
np Liberty street from the Atlantic and
Gulf depot yesterday. Supply and do
mand don’t seem to govern prices nowa
days in the beef line, which remain steep,
as those can testify who have to call on

groan.
Once more we quote from the News a
most praiseworthy and unselfish incident
which is thus gracefully introduced:

Wanted—An Heiress.
The New York Sun says: "Miss Agnes
Bums, tho beautiful daughter of a poor
weaver of Dundee, Scotland, secretly loft
her home last September and sailed for
Now York. Since then nothing has been
heard of her except that her name was
found on the passenger list of the Glas
gow steamer. Though her father was
poor, Miss Bums was given a fino educa
tion, and was surrounded with luxuries
by Mr. Bobert Gray, a wealthy bachelor
uncle, of Glasgow. Sho was only IS
years old, and had jnst completed her
school days when she ran away. Mr.
Gray was travelling on the continent at
the time, bnt he returned at once, and
has since made every effort to find her.
He has authorized Drs. Clow and Cilnek,
of 216 West Twenty-eighth street, to
offer a reward of (5,000 for news of her
whereabouts, and he will come to Ameri
ca this snmmer unless she i3 discovered
before that time. Mr. Gray is over 70, is
worth w£100,000, and his niece is his only
heir. Miss Burns wa3 unaware of her
fortuno in prospect when she quit her
home.”
Wo notice tho offer of tho reward in
tho "Personal” column of the Herald.
If some fellow-has married Agnes since
she arrived in this country, what frills
he’ll put on when ho hears the news, eh ?

SENATOR JONES, OF NEVADA, HAKE3 AN

(5,000 LOT AND ASKS FOB SPECIFICA
TIONS FOR A (12,000 ICE FACTORY.
We are informed by Col. G. W. Adair,
that hn sold, on yesterday, to Senator
Jones, of Nevada, tho lot of land lying
just next to the agricultural warehouse
of Mark W. Johnson & Co. Tho trade
was closed by telegraph, but was speedily

ator Jones, who arrived with the cash.
Immediately upon Mr. Brown’s arrival,
he produced plans for an extensive build
ing which will cost not les3 than twelve
thousand dollars, on which he ask3 bids
at on:e. It is the design of Senator
Jone3 to put up an ice factory. A new
process of making ice has just been dis
covered in California, of which process
Senator Jones ha3 full control. Ho has

The same paper has the following:
For several days past it has been known
that a movement was on foot looking to
a change in the management of the Fort
Boyal Bailroad, in order to meet the
wishes of tho bondholders. Mr. W. E,
Gilbooloy, of tho legal firm of Peckham,
Fuller & Co, of New York city, has been
in tho city for several days, as represen
tative of the bondholders. Three or four
meetings of the directors wero held, with
a view to ascertaining the wishes of tho
bondholders. The last took place last
evenintr at 7 o’clock. CoL T. P. Branch,
President, resigned his position. The
resignation was accepted, and Mr. D. C,
Wilson, of Beaufort, S. C., a member of
the directory and agent of the bondhold
ers, was elected to fill tho vacancy. CoL
Branch was then elected to the vacant
position on tho board. It is rumored that
this action is bnt the preface to placing
tho road in the hands of Mr. Wilson as
receiver, at tho instance of tho bond
holders. There.are two millions and a
half of bonds in the hands of the latter.
Times go by turns, says the Augusta
Constitutionalist. “Once upon a time
onr Northern friends thought the South
ern man was a good for nothing slug
gard, and yet even Maino men, when
once acclimated, find out that their en
ergy relaxes. New England farmers
thought the Southern planter a fool and
did not know how to mako cotton.
Thousands of those New Englanders,
from actual experiment, now know that
the hoot is on the other leg. Onr North
ern brethren imagined that the South’s
struggle for local self-government was
an unholy one. At the Lexington Cen
tennial local self-government was a spe
cial object of eloquent adoration.”
The Methodist Advocate, of Atlanta, a

Judging, says the New York Sun, from
the number of letters we have received
from acquaintances of CoL Oliver A.
Patton, recently appointed by Boss Grant
to be Begister of tho Land Office in Utah,
that distinguished patriot must be well
known in several States, and it is singu
lar that his merits should have been
overlooked so long. All of the letters we
reoeive on thi3 subject art, not entirely
complimentary to the new official, how
ever. One correspondent writes:
"Can it be possible that this is the 01
iver A. Patton who, daring the late war,
with a forged colonel’s commission pur
porting to be from the rebel authorities
in his pocket, was in the habit of making
solitary midnight raids into Nichla3 and

The Industry o£ the South,
From the Mobile Begister.]
Senator Morton draws a vivid pictnre
of the Doui/i., is as malicious as it
is untrue. In the course of an Ur
with a correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Gazette, he said, after leaving Bichmond:
He did not see a single farm-house one-
half as pretentions as the average farm
houses in Indiana. There were no evi
dences of taste, thrift, or prosperity.
Daring a ride of 210 miles through Mis
sissippi, he saw only one white man at
work. Hundreds of thousands of negroes
were ploughing and otherwise engaged,
but the white men were not to be seen
outside ot the cities and the larger towns.
Desolation and destitution seemed to
stalk over the land. Being accustomed
to see well cultivated farms, the fine farm
buildings, the upright fences, tho white
school-houses and steeplcd churches of
the Northern States, it was really painful
for him to look upon such scenes as were
presented to his eye wherever he went or
whichever way ho looked. The planta
tions were poorly cultivated, or not cul
tivated at oil. Fences were dilapidated,
and tho houses for the most part were
hovels.
And yet this very portion of tho South
west which Senator Morton defames with
the old stereotyped abuse of ante-bellum
days has exported to Europe and brought
into the United States more gold than
all the agricultural products of all the
Union beside. We insert tho following
statement of the value of articles ex
ported in 1874:
Wheat and floor (130,783,553
Indian corn and meal 26,209,350
Bacon and hams 36,340,784
Lard 19,308,019
Pork 5,808,712
Total (218,545,416
The value of the cotton exported from
the United States in 1874 w&3 (211,223,-
580, or only (7,321,836 less than the value
of grain products exported. Besides the
cotton grown amid tho “desolation and
destitntion” which seemed to the Morton
vision "to stalk over the land," the South
furnished for export in 1874 tobacco to
the valne of (32,963,528. The total valno
of all the exports of the United States
was (569,552,470, of which sum the South
furnished in cotton and tobacco alone tho
sum of (244,000,000. Adding to these
tho exports of Virginia and Maryland
wheat, Missouri and Tennessee corn,
Kentucky bacon, and Texas hides, we
find that the South, with one-fourth of
the population of the Union, furnishes
more than half its exports. All this has
been done with a hostile Congress disturb
ing labor, threatening society and over
turning government with bayonets. All
this has been accomplished in spite of
the Mortons and Butlers. If our houses
are not air-tight, it is because we do not
need air-tight houses- If our country
homes are not adorned, it is because
Morton’s bummers have robbed them.
If our plantations are poorly cultivated,
it is a significant fact that the Northern
men who have engaged in planting at
the South succeed no better than our own
people. If our churches havo no
steeples, the piety of the pastors and tho
worship of tho congregations are purer
than that at Brooklyn. If school-houses
do not appear all along the railroads it is
either because it is not safe to keep
school near a railroad track or because
the carpet-baggers have stolen tho school
fund. It is rather late for Senator Mor
ton to revamp these ante-dilnvian sland
ers. Daring the war the Southern peo
plo showed that they were men; and
sinco the war they havo shown a recuper
ative power, an indomitable industry and
a grand dignity which should command
admiration, rather than sneers, from
even a Morton.
Fullerton’s Finishing Stroke.
The New York Spirit of the Times says
tho "most masterly thing which has been
done in tho Brooklyn trial, was Fuller
ton’s closing contest with Beecher, ter
minating tho later’s cross-examination.
It wo3 like tho writhing of two serpents
for tho final mastery, but the lawyer so
pressed tho preacher in hi3 merciless coils
that the latter, in squirming, mado an
opening, through which tho lawyer sunk
his long-poi3ed dart, and practically
struck him dead. Ho inquired of Beech
er whether ho had not been greatly
alarmed at the state of his health in
1873; and, by a series of most artful
questions, gradually led him into the con
fession, that he had been threatened
several times with apoplexy in that year,
and more than once did not expect to
come out of the pulpit alive. Having
established this confession completely,
tho wily lawyer then handed to tho great
expounder of Scriptural truths a paper,
bearing his signature, and having verified
it, exhibited tho paper to the court. It
proved to be a policy of life insurance,
for several thousand dollars, which had
been obtained by the great preacher upon
his life, in tho early spring of 1S74, on
the solemn representations that ho was
in fall health and hod no tendencies
whatever towards disease or ailment of
any kind. The triumphant lawyer, with
a barely perceptible smile, then said
coolly to tho conrt: ‘If your honor
please, this closes tho cross-examina
tion.’”
The Great Sonth to Become the Great
Iron Hart of the World.
From the Nashville Union.]
Commenting on the recent shipments
to England of Alabama and Georgia pig
iron, adverted to in these'oolnmns over a
week ago, the United States Economist says
it has been the opinion of American iron
masters for some time past that iron ore
was destined to become an important ar
tide of commerce between the United
States and Great Britain. This view was
based on the superior mineral wealth of
this country, and also on the surface
character of the ores, which requires com
paratively little mining. Bnt tho ship
ments from Borne, Ga , indicate that the
time has come a little sooner, and in a
somewhat different shape than was ex
pected. It will be found on examination.
howover, that the shipments are from the
shortest or most direct line from the area
of production. At present transportation
from the Pennsylvania iron fields is too
mnch in the hands of monopolists, and is
too costly to permit it to bo seriously
thought of. The remarks of the Econo
mist upon the important resnlts foreshad
owed by this initial movement, are so apt
and just that we transcribe them entire:
The shipments already made consist of
pig iron from Alabama and Georgia, con
stituting a portion of what is probably
the cheapest and richest mineral deposits
in the world. From Tennessee to Ala
bama iron ore may bo obtained with
comparatively little labor and capital,
and tho only wonder is that the atten
tion of capitalists had not long since been
directed to it. Bnt the country was al
most sealed np to enterprise before the
war, and it is only sinco the recovery of
produce that its importance has been
fully demonstrated. It may not he gen
erally known that during tho la3t few
years largo amounts of Northern capital,
and the largest proportion from this city,
have been invested in Southwestern
mines. In thi3 connection we may men
tion the names of Moses Taylor, Wm. B.
Astor, John Jacob Astor, Thomas Dick
son, and Leroy Cannon, among the
heaviest investors. Probably still larger
investments have been made on account
of English capitalists.
The merchants and capitalists who in
vested their money in these undertakings
did not intend that it shonld be idle, and
it is not improbable that the shipments
of iron above alluded to may he the first
fruits of the far greater tide that is to
come. Once established the fact that
raw iron can be produced in thin country
os cheaply as it can be produced in Eng
land, and we sball see the mineral re
gions of the Southwest converted into
the centres of industry.
Bnt, apart even from all considerations
of rivalry with England, we still have in
the mineral resources of the Southwest
the bases of most flourishing industries,
and of a mighty commerce. On the
Kanawha mountains, on the line of the
Chesapeake ani Ohio railroad, the iron
ore u,~ jjg detached by crowbars, and
placed on tne a. transpor
tation It is nearly the samo in the long
mineral belt, extending through Tennes
see beyond the Chattanooga mountains
to tho southern spar of the Alleghanies.
The supply seems well-nigh inexhausti
ble. It will be hundreds of years before
it will become necessary to resort to tho
deep mining the samo as in England.
With such advantages the United States
should become the chief iron producing
country in the world. AH that is requir
ed to accomplish this destiny is the re
moval of tho burdens on labor which
render this tho dearest prodaring coun
try in the world. With a moderately
liberal commercial policy on tho part of
Congress, wo should soon recover the
markets in Sonth and Central America,
and also in the West Indies.
It only remains to notice the facilities
for transportation between the South
western coal and iron fields and the sea
board. The Chesapeake and Ohio Bail-
road will be completed to Norfolk in a
short time, thus affording a magnificent
outlet for the mineral resources of the
Virginias. In Tennessee and the States
further South, the existing facilities arc
ample, and will become still more so on
tho completion of Capt. E ides’ jetty im
provements at tho mouth of the Missis
sippi. In this view, Charleston, Savan
nah, New Orleans, and even St. Louis,
will become, if there is any truth
the alleged economic relations between
producer and consumers, the Southwest
seems destined, at no distant period, to
resound to tho ham of important indus
tries.

not been quite accomplished. Beecher

MAINTAINING THX FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
The resumption of the Beecher case
yesterday was marked; by another
vigorous effort on thej port of the
cross-examination to break down Mr.
Beecher’s testimony. In one instance
Mr. Beecher seemed to he involved in
some discrepancies between his state
ments on direct examination and on
cross-examination, and once or twice the
hostility of the ordeal seemed somewhat
to affect the readiness of his answers.
In general, however, he ’maintained the
favorable impression which he has al
ready made.
N. Y. (20th) dispatch to St. Louis Globo.]
BEECHER AND FULLBBTON CONTRASTED.
The Beecher trial narrowly escaped
another adjournment this morning. Mr.
Fnllerton was ill again with vertigo, in
duced by tho excitement of yesterday’s
court-room work, bnt decided, after a
consultation with a physician, to go on.
In the more exciting parts of the contin
uance of the cross-examination of Mr.
Beecher he was made dizzy by overflow
of blood to the head, and was compelled
to lean against a table for support. Mr.
Beecher’s physical hardiness stands him
in better stead. He had, outwardly,
nearly overcome the nervousness whieh
he had exhibited on the first day of his
cross-examination, yet after each sharp
encounter there was a significant, tremu
lous nodding of his head as though it
was perceptibly swaying with every
throb of the pnlse. This movement or
tremor suggested to the judgment that
ho was repressing a more marked show of
excitement by a powerful effort of the
•till. UaaiI ntcu*. uudulj latrt)
hi3 face, crimsoning his cheeks, and even
reddening his forehead. There was an
entire absence of his former mimicry and
dramatic flavor to hi3 enunciation, bnt
there was no lack of wariness or angrily
spoken answers, of hesitant deliberation,
or of plain indications of intense mental
strain. His utterance was uneven in
speed, varying from thoughtful delibera
tion to a rapidity of 200 words a minute.
THE MILLENIUM FAILURE
The "Weather and the Crops.
Says tho Cincinnati Price Current: Tho
destruction of frnit is general in all of
this vast extent of territory, except, per
haps, in tho more northern latitude, where
the buds wero not snfficently developed
to be in danger. Peaches, cherries, pears
and plums are pretty effectually destroy
ed. Early apples have suffered, and in
some sections the later apples also. The
tobacco plants that wero exposed have
pretty generally been killed, but it is
barely possible that tho seed can bo re
planted and a crop produced hereafter.
The cotton plants must have been cut
down in many places, bnt it i3 not too
lato to replant cotton if tho labor and seed
are available to do it. Tho wheat in this
latitude and north of here has not been
materially injured by this weather, hut
in Kentucky and Tennessee, where it was
further advanced, wo think tho damage
must be considerable, although wo havo
no detailed reports of its condition. The
reports accumulate, however, of the dam-
ago done to wheat by tlio severe winter
and spring, and thousands of acres sown
with winter wheat will bs plowed np and
other crops substituted. In some places
spring wheat will bo sown; in others
oat3 will take tho place of wheat; and in
still others corn will bo planted. Per
haps com will be more generally substi
tuted, for tho inducements to plant corn
are great in the high prices current for
tho grain and its possibilities—pork.
An investigation into tbo condition of
tbe winter wheat by the statistical divi
sion of the Department of Agriculture,
shows the crop, as a whole, much below
the status of that of last year in April,
There i3 an apparent increase of about
seven per cent, inhrea of winter wheat
amounting in round numbers to a million
and a half of acres, though that portion
of winter killed and to bo replanted in
other crops may be equal in tbe West to
the enlargement of tbo planted area.
Thisincreoso is small in tho Middle
States, considerable in Illinois and Mis
souri, proportionately largest in the Gulf
States and in Kansas, reaching thirty
Der cent, in the Southwest.
A BULLET OF THE WAR.
It Falls Out of a Sian’s Mouth "While
Engaged lc Washing ills Face.
Mr. Michael Head, a clerk ia an Edge-
fied grocery store, was very much aston
ished yesterday, while washing hi3 face,
by the appearance through hi3 mouth of
a minie ball, which was lodged in his
head cloven years ago, at tho battlo of
Pine Mountain. Tho wound was probed
at the time, tho surgeon telling him that
the ball had been extracted, which sub
sequently proved false. He soon recov
ers J, and served ont his time in the army,
the ball giving very litflepain. The ball
bears a battered appearance, donbtles3
caused by coming in contact with the
bono. Ho of courso feels much relieved
since its advent to daylight after eleven
years of darkness.
The Cincinnati polico havo recently

Commercial don’t like them. It says
they will split and illustrates the fact
as follows: The other night officer Joe

to try hi3 on tho head of of a colored
citizen. Joe struck a hard lick, hitting
the skull, splitting tho club and falling
by the force of his exertion. Sambo

A Scene of Poignant Grief Among
tbe Chicago Adventists.
From tho Chicago Tribune.!
Whilo tho pastor, Thurman, was speak
ing sob3 and groans went np continually
from the assemblage. Many of the wo
men were weeping bitterly. Most of the
little ones, wearied with the protracted
vigil, were asleep, lying on the shawls
and wrappings that had been placed in
the comer. The man looked wistful and
sad, but it was not yet twelve, and some
hope still lay in the narrow circuit that
the minute hand of the clock had yet to
traverse. A tall, gray-haired man began
to speak in tones of encouragement, and
expressing the love and veneration which
they all cherished for Brother Thurman.
Thurman, who, in his desolation, still
kept on by sheer inertia in the groove in
which ho had moved along, announced
mechanically: “And when they hod sung
a hymn,” thus indicating the time when
it wa3 necessary to sing, in order to imi
tate the last supper of Christ. The hymn,
"Long we’ve been waiting for Christ to
come.” was thon sung in a dolorious way.
The clock still lacked a minute or two of
twelve, and it was watched as a criminal
might watch the approach of his hour of
execution.
THE MINUTE-HAND TOUCHED TWELVE,
and a deep groan ran through the as
sembly. The disappointment seemed to
strike into Thurman’s heart far too deep
for tears. There was self-abasement in
his manner as he rose, and in the same
monotonous intonation, but with a trem
ulous voice, said:
" Brethren lean on my arm no longer.
My reckoning is all up, I leave you in
the hands of God. It i3 as much as I
can do to struggle on for myself. I will
try to do tho best I can. If there is any
more light to be had I will search for it.
I bid you farewell.”
Then followed a pitiful scene. Women
wrung their hands in bitter anguish,
strong men buried their faces and wept
and groaned. The violent descent from
ecstatic joy to terrible disappointment
bruised and crushed their spirits. Thur
man sat still murmuring a3 if dazed and
stupefied with tho greatness of his ca
lamity. The work of his lifetime had
fallen to nothingness. The firm footing
of his faith had suddenly slipped from
under him, and the horrors of darkness
encompassed him. Of different caliber
from His followers, his grief could not
find vent in demonstration of feeling, and
nothing assuaged the bitterness of dis
appointment. Some of them tried to say
kind and comforting things to him. bnt
ho seemed to heed nothing. Still adher
ing to tho programme as tho fixed thing
that yet remained to him, he rose to pro-
nonneo
THE BENEDICTION.
Continuing with a tremulous voice, ho
said: Oh Lord, we came according to
Thy word. Hast Thou not said that “ii
tho timo appointed the end shall be ?'
O Holy Parent, hear tho prayers of Tby
people. Come, O Lord Jesus, come
quickly. All will come to desolation,
unless Thou return again. Wo have ta
ken Thy word in all the simplicity of
little children. We have tried to do our
duty. O Jesus, Thou knowest our hearts,
that wo have tried to do Thy will. We can
do no moro. We give ourselves into Thy
hands saying: “Lord save or I perish.”
He then sat down in moody silence,
while his followers went on groaning and
weeping. The Tribune representative
approached him, and, after making some
expression of the respect which Elder
Thurman’s conduct had excited in him,
asked tho elder concerning
HIS FUTURE PLANS.
"I have none,” said he; “my courso is
run.”
Eeporter—Won’tyou continue the pub
lication of your paper ?
Thurman (slowly and mournfully)—
There i3 nothing to publish it for; my
work is done. 1 do not know what I
shall do, where I shall go. It was the
harmony of those dates that convinced
me that Jesus was the Christ, and now I
do not know what to believe.
