Newspaper Page TextThe Telegraph and Messenger MACON, GA., OCTOBER 8, 1878. T 1 nr Fi GEORGIA PRESS. One hundred Bharcs of Central Rail way stock were sold at Augusta on Thurs day at sixty-five; Georgia Railway stock brought seventy-five, and Langly Fac tory one hundred and twelve. Wo learn that Central stock brought seventy at Sa- vannab, yesterday. We welcome into the happy family of Georgia newspapers the Augusta Evening Chronicle, which is an honor to its papa, and wo trust will prove highly profitable to the old gentleman. "Bulldozino” th* Pasty. — Under this head, the Columbus Times draws the following bill of indictment: A "new departure” has been com menced in several of our Congressional District Conventions in Georgia this year, which is not only contrary to tho usages of the Democratic party, but openly in subordinate to its authority. It must inevitably break down the pl*n of bring ing out candidates by nomination, if it this year succeeds in defeating or making them a mockery. We refer to the in cumbents dictating their own renom- ination or running against the nom inee when they fail to do this. Mr. Stephens sncceeded in forcing biB own nomination by threatening to ran if be shoald be defeated in the Convention. The party saw that it had no alternative ant to adopt him or to be beaten by him, bad in respect to his distinction and char acter, aa we wonld prefer to believe, rather than from dread of the alternative contest, it cboaethe peace of submission. Dr. Felton would notsubmit bis claims to a convention at all—not even after Hon. B. H. Hill bad appealed to him to do eo and to the party to acoept bim as its can didate—bnt he defiantly announced him self an independent candidate before the convention met. It is certain that Mr. Stopbcca will be elected, and we think that there is not muoh doubt that Dr. Felton will also succeed. Can any Dear oorat candidly say that in theee two dis tricts the voters of the party have been allowed a free cboloe in the election of their Congressman, or even a free choice of their candidate? Is it act plain that the incumbents by virtue of their posi tions and by th9 strrangth of combina tions which their positions enabled them to make, have proved themselves too strong for the paxty ? In other words, has not selfish individual pertinacity tri umphed over the organization and usa ges of the party ? In onr own district, (he purpose of Mr. Harris to ran with or without a nomina tion was almost as manifest as in either Mr. Stephens’ or Dr. Felton’s case. He woold not unconditionally pledge himself to abide by a nomination, and his friends, having a majority in the Convention, would not permit the passage of a resolu tion that would have constrained him and the other candidates to say distinctly that they would submit to it3 action. The faots and arguments contained in the ad dress of the minority of the Convention, which wo published tbo other day, make this too plain for cavil. His friends ex hibited throughout tho long and tedious sessions at both Columbus and Newnan a aridity of purpose entirely unprecedent ed in ?ho history of onr party conven tions. There was no other naan in the district for whom one of them wonld consent to abandon Mr. Harris. The minority offered them some of the most prominent men from nearly every county in the district, some of them sup porters of Mr. Harru, and yet the com pact line o! the majority eould never be broken. The majority then asked the majority to name any other man than Mr. Harris, and none of thorn would even consent to this. It appeared that not a single delegate constituting the majority had anywhere a personal friend, or considered that his county had a fa vorite citizen, for whom he was willing to give up Mr. Harris. Was aay devo tion like this ever heard of before among politicians? What could it signify, ex cept a conviction on the part of Mr. Har ris’ friends that ho was determined to ran in any event, and that tho abandon ment of him in the Convention wonld bring a new trouble upon tho party? And that that they were correct in this conviction is, wo understand, virtually admitted by Mr. Harris, tcho now says that if he had Jieen beaten in the Conven tion he would have left it to the people to decide whether it was fairly done or not. In these districts the incumbents have either forced themaeUes upon tbo party or are in open warfare against it. They can only be elected by a vioalation of the usages of the party, or in contempt of its organization. The same paper has a letter from La* Grange informing the editor that "there is another candidate for Congress from LaGrango—Horace King, colored, well known throughout this district as the "Bridge Builder.’ Ho nos announced himself as the Republican candidate, and say that be intends to thoroughly can vas! the whole district.” Dalton reports one case of yellow fever, imported from Chattanooga. Mr. H. C. Eon ex has been elected to the Legitlitnre from MeDoffie connty to fill a vacancy. His majority was COO over two competitors. There were sixty.five deaths in Atlan ta duriog the month of September— thirty-two whites, and thirty-three ne groes. Gen. Gordon is the Fixed’.—Under this head the Constitution says: It gives ns pleasnrs to state that Gen. JohnB, Gordon, onr distinguished Sena- etor, will shortly tako the stump in Georgia in the interest of tho true De mocracy. This is a timely move upon the part of General Gordon, and emi nently characteristic. While other prom inent Democrats are hesitating as to the coarse they shall pursue, he steps promptly into the breach and proposes to fight to the end. He will do good work. The same qualities that gave him dis tinction a3 a soldier, make him a power in the po'itical field, and his presence at the front at this particular juncture will give the organized Democracy an advan tage that it did not before possess. He represents all that is bold and impetnouB in onr medern politics. Wise and con servative in council, he will give to the canvass a touch of gallantry and vigor hat will render tho Democracy invincible n November. General Gordon will open his campaign at Silver Creek, in Floyd connty, next Friday, and will make several speeches in the Seventh district. He will rally the Democrats in that unhappy section as they have never been rallied before, and his presence there will give an irresista- ble impetus to tbo Democratic cause. From the Seventh, General Gordon will come into the Fifth, and from here will go into the First district, and until the day of the election his voico will be heard wherever the Democracy is in danger. tOor other public wen wonld do well to follow the example of General Gordon. Never sinco tho days of 1871-2 has Re publicanism boon so threatening or so hopeful of representation in Congress. Tne time has come for tho people to re assert their devotion to the State and to the party. The caucus of leading Repub- licans in this city was ominous. Appre ciating the nature and extent of tho tron- t le caused by independentism, they have taken counsel together, and tho result is, as we arc reliably informed, that they have determined to- make a contest wherever they find the Democrats divid- ed. General Gordon is quick to see that the time for action has come, and he is ready now, as at all other times, to throw himself into Ihs breach. Whether his example shall be followed or not, the peo ple will not soon forget that he conceived it to be his dnty at a critical juncture to come to the rescue of the party of peace, prosperity and safety.

Snt Max will, of Lao connty, died of hemorrbagio fever last Tuesday, Mr. J. H. Coxxn, of Dongberty coun ty, made 175 bushels of corn this year on n five sore field. Homicide in Dodge County.—The Eastman Times says A difficulty occurred at Dubois, No. 14, Macon & Brunswick railroad, in this connty, on Saturday last, between Wm. Swearingen and Wm. Grimsley, in which tne latter was cat in a number of places and died in a very few minutes. Swearingen was arrested the night af ter the killing, bnt eluded the arresting party, made his escape, and is now at large. He was also cut, but to what ex tent we were nnable to learn. Suffioe it to say that be was not so seriously injur ed as to interfere materially with hie lo comotion. One James Dupree has since been ar rested, tried and committed for the of fense of murder in the second degree in the same case, and was carried to Bibb connty jail yesterday by Sheriff Sapp, where he will be confined th await his trial before the Superior Court. Wiley Bbaswell, of Dougherty conn- ty, ought either to join a temperance bo- oiety, or drink whisky with less fight in it. One day laBt week the Albany News says he went home from that plaoe loaded wilh benzine and threatened to shoot his wife, bnt she elnded him and made her es cape to a neighbor's. “He then turned to where his sister-in-law was standing, who seemed petrified with fear, and taking de liberate aim gt her witn the pistol, polled the trigger. Fortunately it failed to fire, and before he bad time to make another effort to shoot her she sprang through a window and fled. The house being dear, Braswell sought new victims on the highway. Meeting a negro man In the road, ha began firing npon bim at once, two of the balls taking effect in his back. The wonnds sre said to be quite serious, and donbts are entertained of the negro’s recovery. Braswell left immediately af ter the shooting and has not sinoe been heard from.” The Federal circuit and district courts to be held at Savannah {on tbs 7th of No vember will, thelConditution Bays, "be adjourned over by order of the respective judges [thereof to Monday, the 18th of No vember, for the reason that the judges will be detained in Atlanta by the unnsn- al amount of business in this court which will canee the term to be extended into November.” The Constitution thinks, and so do we, that "Governor Hampton should bring tbs action of the rebellions and obstrep erous Rioe before the United States Su preme Court. After a decision from that court of the questions involved, it will be time to inquire what general statute is ceoded to enforoe the powers wisely dele gated to the general government relative to the extradition of prisoners. Gover nor Hampton is the right man to bring Massachusetts up to a respeot for the provisions of a constitution that sbe has disregarded whenever it suited her prej* udices to do so. Now isftbe time to take the old nullification nonsense ont of her. There wonld be poetio justice in it. The country would look on and applaud. We hope Governor Hampton will parsae the matter nntil the law governing it is made so plain that even a Massachusetts Gov ernor dare not disobey it—nntil the rob ber Kimpton is in the hands of a court of South Carolina for trial. Governor Rioe’s peculiar court for the acquittal of politi cal friends should at all events be abol ished. The samo paper is reliably informed that "Colonel Seward withdiev from the race in the Second district because he would not make the ‘concessions’ which 'concessions Putney and other Republicans demanded of him as the price of Repnblican sup port. The ‘concessions’ were such that he conld not entertain, and he withdrew from the contest in disgust.” It also says that a "prominent Repnblican—a man who has given more time and at tention to the cause of his party in this State than all others pnt together—in epeaking of the independents yesterday, made nse of these words, to which w beg to call the attention of all who have an interest in the welfare of the Demoo- racy : ‘Wherever you see the Republicans supporting an independent candidate you mag be sure that he has made some conces sions to the Republican leaders.’ This was said in the midst of an animated con versation, and the admission was made inadvertently, bnt it was afterwards re peated with emphasie.” Augusta is disposed to put on frills because thero are only seventeen prison ers in tho county jail, against the usual monthly average of forty. Their offen ces range from murder to hog stealing. A fire at Savannah, Friday morning, destroyed fifteen wooden buildings, near the Coast Line railway depot, and was still raging when the paper went to press. The British steamship, Athens, from New Cestle, reached Savannah Friday. She has a capacity of between 6,000 and 7,000 bales of cotton, and is the largest steamship that has ever been in that port. Pretty Good.—We find the following account of how one of a gang of negro Radical desperadoes got his dose, in the Savannah News x On Friday last the Republicans held a political meeting at Levy’s Cross Roads, South Carolina, which was characterized by violence and disorder, the bitterest feeling being manifested by the speakers, whose remarks were very incendiary, and calculated to create a riot. We learned yesterday that Mr. W. N. Heyward and abont a dozen gentlemen from Hardeeville were present as specta tors, and from a reliable source we obtain the particulars of a row that occurred, and which resalted in the serious stab bing of a negro. The speakers were Smalls, Miller and others, and from all accounts they strove earnestly to excite their hearers, the majority of whom were negroes, by their inflammatory har- rangnes. Sometime after the speaking had com menced, Jackson Allston, a deputy sheriff of Beaufort, a colored Democrat, rode np to where the crowd was gathered. A friend who saw him approach, warned him that he would most likely be attacked, and ad vised him to leave. He remained, how ever, and in a brief while a negro named Jim Taylor sought to provoke trouble by quarreling with Allston about some per sonal matter, and was at once joined by a number of men, armed with pistols and slicks, who encouraged him in the dis pute. Allston endeavored to avoid a quarrel, bnt to no purpose, as bis assailants, whose passions bad been inflamed by the incendiary speeches, were determined on a row. They continued to press npon him, and finally several of the men struck him, when he drew a dirk, and, making a lunge at Jim Taylor, who wm, it seems, the ringleader, ont that individual la the back and neck, infiiotiog very serious injuries. Allston then forced his way through tbe orowd, and ran for his life, being panned by tbe bowling mob, who fired at bim a num ber of times, fortunately without bitting him, and be succeeded in making bis es- OIMe We an informed that the exoitement was intense, and for a time there were In dications of a general row between the Republicans and the few Democrats pre sent. Taylor, who was supposed to be i mortally wounded, wm alive at lMt ao- eonLts, bnt bis recovery is doubtful, as Allston handled hisjdirk well in inflicting the wonnds. We have authority for saying thst tbe attack on Allston was solely on aooonnt of bis being a Democrat, and was outrs geous and unprovoked. Crowding Him.—The Augusta Chron rclc announces that “Honest John” Pat terson is in Salt Lake City, and adds: (If the Government will keep him there be will eettlo tbe Mormon question by stealing all tbe property of Brigham’s followers and causing them to die of starvation.” The season for gin house bnrning has fairly opened. Mr. G. W. Motley IoBt one last Friday in Tronp oonnty, with eight bales of ootton, and on Monday that of Mr. Robert Adams, of Henry connty, together with ten bales of ootton, went tbe same way. The editor of the Henry Connty WeeTc- ly anxiously enquires ‘‘if it isn’t abont time folks were marrying and giving tig suppere, and tbe like ? We are getting awful hungry for some cake.” Land sales in Meriwether connty last Tnesday showed pretty stiff cash figures. One farm of 250 acres brought $1,205; one of 200 acres, $1,009; one of 127 acres $1,100; and another of three acres, $67, 6a The Meriwether Vindicator tells of a snake lately killed in that connty by Mr. E. A. Parker that measured six feet in length, and a foot in circumference. The same paper says four hands on a plantation in that connty—one of them partly disabled—picked 1,372 pounds of cotton one day last week. Two of them picked 452 and 402 ponnds, respectively The Fourth District.—Under this head, the LaGrango Reporter draws the following gloomy picture: The Democratic party in this District is in a deplorable condition. It is divided into two factions, and each faction has a candidate in the field. This is the simple truth, unpleasant as it may be. Both divisions accuse each other of being dis organizes, and neither can claim to represent tbe whole party. Both are to blame for the present state of affairs. Those who constituted the minority in the late conventions, committed a serious wrong in acting as if those they repre seated wonld rather have no nomination than Harris; and likewise those who constituted the majority committed a similar error when they acted as if those whom they represented would rather haye no nomination than to have some other man than Harris. The masses of the party, unless we are greatly mistaken, would rather have had any good, compe tent man in the district than the present condition of the party. The Reporter thinks it is not too late for a nomination, and suggests a primary election on tbe 231 instant, tho person having the highest vote to be the noml- eee. A Case cf Yellow Fxvxe at Griffin. —Under this head the News prints the fob lowing: Editors Daily News: Mr. Jadkins lives next door to me. Last night he was feel ing very badly, turned down the light and went to bed. He grew worse rapidly and got np and took a big drink of liquor ont of the bottle and went baotc to bed, bnt not to re3t. He oontinned to grow worse, and his pain became more and more in tense until midnight, wden bis wife got np and turned np the lamp. Jadkins be coming very sick at the Btomach, called for tbs wash basin and vomited very freely audit was as black as your bat. He became very muoh frightened, and three up the window and cried in a load voioe, ‘‘Hammond! Oh Hammond! Come here quiok 1” Without waiting for my coat, I went in great haste and found JndkinB rolling and tossing in an sgony of dis tress and fear, saying, “I have got the yellow fever! I have got the blaok vom it! Look in the basin, Hammond! Look in tbe basin!" I looked, and ears enough there it was, as blaok as Egyptian night. My own bead got hot and my back began to ache at tne thought of the dreadful oonsequenees. “Ob, Hammond, go for the doctor qniok, and bring a preaober, too!’’ I was glad to start, bnt he called me back and asked me to give bim a drink of whisky off the mantle- piece before I went. In great haste I poured out about four fingers into a gob let, and seeing that it looked very dark, I examined tbe bottle also. I stood with my be ok to Jadkins and sal nothing, but he continued to hnrry me to give him the liquor and go for the doctor. The truth was that Judkin had the colio when he first got up, adu did not tarn up the light, but hastily topok abig drink ont of the wrong bottle the dark and it haddeiven him a dreadul nausea and ma ghim very sick. When the blaok vomit came, it was only the ink which he had swallowed through mistake. Don’t you think Judkins ought to set 'em up. E.W. H.

Richmond Dispatch.] This greenback craze is the invention of scurvy politicians, who, like gamblers, are ever indeed contriving deceptions to delude those who play at their games. They lead the dupes to believe that by hazarding money they will win a great deal, when the result shows that they are only fools who lose all they have by the delusion. The rascally politician and partisan promises great things for the benefit of the voter, and IhuB, as does the gambler, tbe trickster deceives the voter and captures his vote. That is what the scurvy fel low is playing for—just os the gambler is playing for the money of his dope. Ths political trickster gets votes, and the votes elevate him to the plaoe where money is gotten—where per diem or salary—in Congress $5,000, good people (as yon should remember), is gotten. And that’s the game. That is what the trickster goes for; and when he wins, where are the voters ? Ah ! this is the point, good voters. Who of yon all are benefited? Tho trickster prom ises freely. It costs him nothing. _ He has no prinolple. Ha will promise things that no honest man wonld promise, and thus it is his polioy to make each prom ises bscauso be diminishes opposition, and has the field more to himself. Look at the Greenbaok gamblers. Do they be lieve that there Is any earthly possibility of an issue of irredeemable paper money by any government, and, least of all, the National Government? Not one of them. The troth should never be expec ted from any man who says be does so believe: This Greenback absurdity is a triok of the scurvy political hack who seeks a plaoe for whioh be has no merit. Eleot snoh a man, oh people, and yon will find yourselves sold. Yon will profit nothing, while ha goes to the Treasury and lives upon the revenue which tho taxes you pay provide. It will disgraoe any people to be represented by snch a political gambler and triokater. In snob a land ao that we live in it is a disgraoe to tolerate those monstrous schemes. Even the dlscnseion of them is discreditable to the oonutiy. Little Henry Kybitz, seven years old, ran home from sobool in Cincinnatti last Monday and asked for a slice or bread and batter. His mother gave bim a piece of bread on whioh there waa no batter, and he refused to take it. She told him he could not have any batter on bis bread and he left the house in a fit of snlks. On his way ont he met his sister and bade her good-bye, telling her she wonld never see him any more. He whistled tor his dog, went down to ths bank of the river and took of his clothes, then, telling the dog to watch his jacket, he jumped in and was drowned. An Interesting Boole. Baltimore Sun.l "Lite of Alexander H. Stephens.” By Bich ard Malcolm Joliwton and William Hand Browne, Philadelphia: J. B. Lippmcott& Co.. 1878. Baltimore: for sale by T. G. Turner, intent, 65 Saratoga street. This is a book with whioh tbe subject ought to be well pleated, and of wliioh tbe authors ahonld be proud. Mr. Stephens, indeed, has bad every page of the book read to bim in msnnsoript, and bs says “I think all the eitaentisl faots in regard to me and my acts are substantially cor- reot.” The authors have bad access to all of Mr. Stephen’s private papers, his diaries and journals, his thirty-years cor respondence with bis brother, Linton Ste phens, eto. One of them, Oolonel John ston, tas known Mr. Stephens for twenty- fire years intimately, corresponded with him, visited him as friend and neighbor, and talked muoh with him abont the events and eironmstanoes of his long life of snffering pain, loneliness and anguish, labor and achievement, inflnenoe and tri umph. It has resulted from all this that the authors have enjoyed exceptional op portunities to know Alexander H. Ste phens and his life, and they have profited by these to give ns one of the best of modern biographies. It illustrates very accurately and thoroughly the life, char acter and motives of its hero; it does this entirely from materials famished by the snbject himself, and with the severest re pression or all Individuality or self-asser tion on the part of the authors. Mr. Stephens is a man whose life has been one long straggle with adversity, disease and affliction, bnt struggle made glorious by bis tri umphs over every cbstaole. He comes of very good"stack—bis grandfa ther, Alexander Stephens, was an English Jacobite, wbo left his country after being “ont” with the Pretender in the disastrous “Forty-five.” He came to Pennsylvania and settled first among the Shawnee In dians, not far from the present site of Chambersbnrg. He. served under Wash ington in the Virginia volunteers, nd was present at Braddook’s defeat; mar ried the daughter of a Biakina, who kept a ferry at the Juniata and Susquehanna rivers; sorved in the Revolutionary war, and, after it, settled in Georgia on ren ted land. One of his sons, Andrew B., the father of the preBent statesman, was by tumB farm hand and sohool teacher. He bought a small farm for his father ont of bis earnings, and this farm was the nnolens of Alexander H. Stephen’s pre sent well loved homestead of “Liberty Qsll.” Hero Alexander was born, and here he seems to have passed the happi est days of his life. He got his early education at sn “old- fiela” school, hut did not attend regularly, his services being required in summer as cow boy, and for work in the corn field. He wa3 alto nurse, kept the kitchen fire going with lightwood and chips, fetched water, weeded the garden,hanled manure, tended tbe calves at milking time, etc. When cloth wa3 pnt on the loom he had to hand the thread; he dropped all the corn that was planted on the plaoe, and began to plow when only eleven years old. His father was a stern, austere man, of primitive virtues and temperate habits, a sort of rustic philosopher, who was also an excellent teacher, and Mr. Stephens holds his memory in particular reverence, and was grieved terribly when he died. His death broke up the family, es it was followed within a week by the death of his wife, Alexander’s stepmother. He went to liro with an uncle, studied la boriously in the interval of his hours of toil, and finally was sent to an academy at Washington, Georgia, by a generous friend, with tho understanding that he waa to prepare for the ministry. From the academy he went to the Uni- FJfUi A venae Cathedral. A New York letter says : “The mag nificent cathedral on Fifth avenue will be the scene, next month, of tbe mast gorgeous fair ever held in New York. There are over forty Catholio churches in the oity, and each will have a booth in the fair. A number of pastors met, a few days sinoe, at the residence of Cardinal MoCIoskey, to make arrangements for tbe fair and committees to look after the va rious details, were appointed. The objeot la to obtain funds to oontinne the work on the cathedral. Nearly all money thus far expended on it has been conlribnted by tbe eburobes, eaoh ohnroh beiDg assessed annually a cer tain amount, proportioned to tbe Catho lie population of the parish. It has been hard work daring the last few years for tbe ohurobes to make up their several quotas. This year the contribution plan is suspended and the scheme of a great fair will be tried Instead. The expectation Is that from $75,000 to $100,000 will be raised by the fair. Tbe Catholics have very good reason to be proud of the magnificent monument they are building on Fifth avenue, and no donbt the money that is needed to continue the work on it will be forthcom ing. Tho whole cost will be about $3,- 000,000, which is about three times the original estimate. The main body of the bnilding is now almost complete, and has been roofed in for sometime, but it will probably be several years before the stately spires are finished. Indeed, the edifice as a whole may never be finished. It is said that no ca thedral in the world ever was wholly completed, or ie ever likely to be. There is always something to be done to some part of the structure, and so it is not really completed at any time. Bnt the New York cathedral is already sufficiently advanced, any way, to present an impos ing and most artistic appearance, and the money the great fair is expected to yield will eo far towards making the edi fice ready for religious nee next enmmer, even if it should not be absolutely fin ished for many years to come.” Sweets to tbe Sweet. Tho New York World reproduces in dr&matio form thiB colloquy, before the House Committee of "Ways and Mean?, between Messrs. Booth and Havemeyer, who are rival sugar refiners: Mr. Booth to Mr. Havemeyer.—Are yon oorrnotly reported in saying that not an ounce of adulteration ever entered Into sngar of your manufacture. H. to B.—Although I do not propose to be cross-examined by you, nevertheless I will say that snoh report wa3 correct. B. to H.—Do yon wish to be under- stood that such a statement would be true? H. to 3.—Yes, applied to sugar. Bat I have used snlphurio aoid in syrnp in or der to reduce ebrystalization. B. to H.—Yon don’t use tin ? E. to B.—Not lately. Five years ago we did, bnt onr chemist left ns and went to you, and sold you our secret for $2,500. B. to H.—That is not trne; he never came to us. (Producing a vial filled with tin.)

Mr. Stephens was not content merely to refund in money these advances by means of which he got his education and start in life. Ho has never felt that he conld repay what was then done for him; bnt he has ever since then been most liberal of his meanB in aiding other yonng men, poor and ambition like him- seif, to get an edneation. Up to the pres ent time, he has thus contributed to the happiness and well-being of fifty-two indigent young persons,and contemplates his work with great satisfaction. After M. Stephens graduated, he went to Madison to study law, supporting him self by teaching school. Here he began to keep a diary, and aleo fell deeply in love, and finally left thero wretched and dyspeptic. He was too poor and too fee ble in health to dream of marrying, so he only looked his love, let his heart con sume itself in silence, and passed on. Nextyear he passed the bar at Crawfords- ville and began the business of life as sn up-conntry Georgia attorney. At this time, grown man though he was, Mr. Ste phens was taken for a boy of fourteen or fifteen. ■ In the winter of 1836 Mr. Stephens en tered the lower house of tbe Georgia Legislature, and thus began a public ca reer which haB been almost uninterrupted since. There is no need to speak of it here. It has been a career of many tri umphs, of much popular applause, and one in whioh, under no matter what change of circumstances and surroundings, Mr. Stephens has been able to retain an al ways increasing share of public confi dence and esteem. But it has not been a career of great happiness. Mr. Steph en’s ill health has not poisoned his sweet and tender disposition, bnt it has made him pensive and melancholy; and hie contact with the selfishness, narrowness and corruptions of politics, while it has not embittered him, has still oast a shad ow of deep Badness over his life. He came to understand long ago that, pnre as his own politios might be, and lofty as was hiB own standard of statesmanship, he could not make others eager to accom modate themselves US the Bamo standard, or act and think with the .same purity. But tho consciousness of this, while it saddened him, did not convert him to pessimism, nor did it tnm him aside from his lofty purposes and aspira tions to do good to mankind. These pur poses and aims are set forth In a deeply interesting confidential letter to his broth er Linton, written in February, 1851, in whioh be said: “Theseoret of my life has been revenge reversed—lhat is, to rise superior to the neglect or oonlumely of the mean of mankind by doing them good instead of harm.

From the Utica Observer. 1 One mile and forty rods north of tho beautiful village of Sauquoit resides Mr. Andrew J. Green. Day before yesterday he started to walk to the village. Swing ing along with his wonted stride, and reaching a point within half a mile of his destination, his attention was attracted by the strange actions of a large flock of sparrows hovering down over the side walk, flying rapidly hither and thither in great excitement. As he approached them, and when in their midst, they evinced no fear of his presence, and in stead of flying away on his entrance among them, they pressed aronnd him in great numbers, and almost immediately attacked him with their sharp bills with great fnry. At first hs was disposed to treat the attack as a trivial matter, and attempted to brush them away with his hands, bat the few thus displaced were immediately replaced by myriads more, darting, chat tering, and piercing him with their sharp bills, like “the flight of a olond of ar rows.” Their immense numbers and persistent charge is so groat that he was scon thrown to the ground. Now thor oughly alarmed, he struggled to his feet. Covering his eye and free with one hand as well as possible, he endeavored with tho other hand to wrest from the fence at his side a stake or picket with whioh to defend himself; bnt not succeeding, and the wild and infuriated little w»r- riors still increasing their attack, he was forced to fight them again with his bands, when again he was thrown to the ground. Now really terrified for his life, he pulled his coat over his face and head for protection, regained his feet and fled for his life, but they did not pursue him far. Exhausted and with his hands bleeding he reached the viiliage, con* viucedthathe had a narrow escape. Why sinmberfivades Her.

Heotdered ten men to dig the hole for their reoeption, and after covering them, to return immediately with the wagons and escort. After the work had bean accomplished the party returned, bnt were fired on from an ambush by a battalion of soldiers under the command of Toussaint himself.

But the horse wanted some thing done, and neighed loeder than be fore, when the obstruction was removed, and the animal came in, held np bis foot, and showed where the work of a horse shoe r was needed, saying aa plain as a horse could say, “Put a shoo on.” The missing ahoe was replaoed, and the ani mal put np bis foot, took a oritioal look, gave a nod, pot his foot on the floor, stamped the newly-shod pedal exremity two or three times, took a glanos at the shoer, and if bone language oould be translated would be, “That ia a good job; thank yon,” and trotted ont of tbe shop, going to bis stall at his master’s stable.

Driving a Minister From His Pnlplt. Galveston News] Ths sermon of the Rev. Mr. MoEutyre was summarily closed last night at Mount Baird chnrch, five miles north of Dalle?, by General Chene with, who, walking up in front of the pulpit, cursed the minister outrageously. An effort waa madel to ejeot General Chenewith, whioh he suc cessfully resisted by drawing a large knife and threatening to kill any one who at tempted to lay hands on him. The Rev. Mr. McEotyre was rushed ont of the ehuoh during the confusion that ensned, and, surrounded:by his friends, wss es corted home. Some hours later, while Mr. MoEntyre was preparing to retire to bed, three shots were fired at him through his bedroom window, cone, fortunately, taking effect. There were four men in the firing party. The disgr&oefnl proceedings grew cut of Mr. MoEutyre’s refusing to permit the Rev. Mr. Ryless of the same denomina tion to preach in the chnrch.

Will the new National party hold the balance of power here? And, it so, which of the old parties will be most weakened by Its prestige? Finally, is there likely to be a coalition, aa in Maine, of the Demo cratic and National foroes with a like result ? Primarily, it looks as though the effect of the Maine defeat had already been to demoralize the Republican mass es in Pennsylvania. This is the opinion of disinterested men—among them the veteran politician acd successful editor, j41)xauder McClure—who have long been acouBtomed to study political tendencies in the Keystone State. Ihe Republi cans, bound by tbeir State platform to a hard money doctrine, are virtually out of sympathy with the greenback element,el- thongh in some localities they have falsi fied their professions in order to effect a compromise with it. On the other hand, the Democrats who had bean out of power in the State for twenty years until they carried it last fall, are hopeful and foil of fight. They cars little in the main for hard money or for soft money, but they do care for cucoess Had they been in a helpless minority, as they were in Maine, the effect of the Maine election wonld have been to transfer them almost bodily over to the National party. Strong as they are, greedy for power, and with none of the internal dissensions whioh prolonged possession of power breeds in a party, they have entered the campaign determined to win. Aa far as possible they will strive independently, but they are confident, too, that they will be aided by a friendly understand ing with the Nationals in many import ant looalitiee.

At dawn the call was heard.

And saw across the lands The waiting harvest shining on the hills; I heard the reapers sing Their songs of harvesting, And thought to go, bnt dreamed and waited still.

I sought tne wheat fields while the ethers ■lent, ‘Porhaps ere break of day Ths Lord will come this way.” A voice kepi saying, till, with fear, I wept. Through all the long, strange night, Among the wheat fields white, I reaped and bound the sheaves of yellow grain. I dared not pause to Test. Such fear possessed my bresst.
