In tho Atlanta Herald:
Daring court, tbe other day, the qoiet and
peacefnl little towa of Montioello was oonsid-
crebiy niiiittiil by Judge Bartlett acd his honor's
son. During reoea,, or tbe time allotted for
dinner, “my son Charley," (as the Judge calls
him.) happened, from some oanae or other, to
get into a dispute with Mr. Lawrence, the sheriff
of Jasper oonnty. Charles railed ont upon Mr.
L. with all the vindictive and threatening lan
guage ho possessed, and, to cap the climax,
oalled him a d—d liar, whereupon Mr. L gave
loose reins to bis muscular arm, tbe extremity
of which contained a stick, and dealt the young
aspirant after fame snoh a blow across tha
head ns to render him enable to bold his eqol-
llbrinm any longer. A crowd instantly gather
ed—friends to both parties. A friend of the
sheriff's—whose name I do not remember—
cursed and swore considerably. His honor or-
d.irt-d him to bo arrested, to wbioh be would
not snbmlt, bat turned and furiously cursed
tho Judge. Finally he gave np, and the matter
wa, brought before the court as contempt. It
was diaonsaed at qnlte a length by all the law
yers present, exoept one, aa to whether or not
it conld be brought before court. This one
lawyer, who waa retioent, sat rather off to him
self seemingly wrapt In deep thought. It was
■bo profound and able Jndge lteeae, of Madison,
Gs. His opinion waa asked. He scratehed his
bead, rolled his lsrge, intelligent looking eyes
towards the chair, and slowly rose. It did not
take him long to prove to the oonrt and all
present thst this affray was not a oontempt to
the oonrt, bavtog oocurred while oonrt was not
tn session, and, being ontatdo of its jnriadictloD,
the oonrt conld do nothing. Tho learned Judge
dismissed the case reluctantly, and oalled for
lbs i.ext tiling on docket. Mr. J. N. Leonard,
of this pine-, snapped two cap, on a shot gun at
D*. A. Held last night, but, f irtnnately for ibe
Dootor, the gun would not shoot. Tbe Doctor

Dxatb cr Carrara Jens O. Masohim —The
Griffin Star has the following with reference
to the death of thia gentleman, a brief notice
of which ead event appeared in onr columns
on Friday morning.
Captain John C. Maugham died at his resi

Ivtic at rote, and hia Ulneea was very brief.

Coming to Urifffa at ita firat tttUement, he
built the principal hotel here and kept it up
until within the pest few years. As a mwtet
hotelkeeper, a great wit and thorough gentle-
man cf the old school, he was widely known
throughout the country and nnlveraally popu
lar. Up to a few days before hie death, be waa
natively engaged with hia farming intereMs;
and, apparently, bid fair to live twenty years

it is oonoeded that the street railroad in Maoon
is not a success either as an Investment or as

to be hoped that when the owners get tired of

ready and willing to beoome permanent patrons,

A Pauper Billionaire.
J. P. Hanbest, Eiq., of Philadelphia, entered
the profession of law nearly thirty years sgo,
with the determination to accumnlate a large
fortune. He obtained his wish. He died a
few days nines, leaving an estate of about
$1,000,000, a very handsome figure, for one-
fourth of which tbe majority of lawyers would
be willing to abandon the noble profession,
with ita briefs and dasty records, its calf skin
libraries and the painful “vigils of twenty
years.” It is not very dear to wbat way the
deceased millionaire attorney contrived to ex
tract eDjoyment from the use of his money.
He was a firsbolass shyster, and ohased money
as if it were the chief good in the universe. His
clients were of the poorest snd lowest claas, and
he never touched a case unless his fees were
paid in advanoe, or a bond given him that made
them perfectly saenre. He purchased a large
amount of real estate, bnt reserved for himself
only one room, whioh waa his bed-ohamber,
dining-room and law office.
In a oertain anit it happened that several
prominent lawyers of Philadelphii had to have
a conference wilh Hanbest at bis room, where
they found him sitting at his desk with a mass
of papeia before him, a chicken pot-pie in a
basin on his lsp, from whioh he picked ont tho
tit bits with bis fingers, and then deposited the
bones on tbe floor at his side along with the
scraps of his previous meals. Finally tbe poor
wretoh was stricken with parslyeis to his limbs.
His heart had been paralyzed long before. All
he could now do waa to lie in hia bare and car-
petleas room like a bloated spider, watching his
prey, in tbe shape of an occasional client. Not
friend was by him to minister to hia wants
nor console him. Ho was destitute cf the com
monest comforts of the sickroom. He tried to
make a will, leaving a few email bequests to hia
eistera and brother and then endeavored to pur
chase a ticket to heaven by bequeathing the
bulk of his property to charitable institutions.
As he died a fvw days afterward the will did
not meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania
law to regard to time, which renders nail and
void the pnblio bequests cf a will executed
within one calendar month af tho decease i.l
intended became inoperative, and the entire
estate will be divided among the children of
two deceased brothers, the living brother and
the two sisters. His wealth thns at last will
go to some of the very persons whom he hoped
to ont off from its benefits. So ended the in
cessant, painful and cheerless toils of thirty
years. The reanlt conld not have been moro
worthless by any contrivance of human inge
nuity.—Couritr-Journal.
Polifeneas la Parliament.
London Correspondence New York Timea-l
Tho House of Commons has not been show
ing to mnch advantage lately. I told you how
the young Duke or St. Aibans was to be called
to aeoonnt by the Duke of EJinbnrgh for hav
ing at a pnblio dinner dinner claimed the Queen
sb a Liberal. It was & silly thing to ssv, but it
was hardly worth while to trouble the Hunse of
Lords about it. If that body were to occupy
itself with every silly observation made by any
of its members to any part of tho country, it
would soon have enough to do. However, the
elder Duke tackled the youthful one. and got
rather a rough answer for his pains. The Dnke
of St. Albans quoted an authority for hie state
ment that Lord Melbourne had trained the
Queen as a Liberal, and then observed that
be had taken care to fortify himaelf with
this extrsot beforehand, beoause, like the
American carpenter who gave a singu
larly minute answer to a question of meas
urement, “ho thought very likely some fool
might ask the question.” Upon whioh the Duke
of Kiohmond. leader of the great Conservative
jarty in the House of Lords, and brothsr-in-
aw of the Queen’s brother-in-law, protested
loudly egainat being called a foot, and there was
mnch commotion among the solemn memborB
of that stately assembly. It was remarked that
the Marquis of Salisbury had, only a few nights
before, deolared that there were two per oent.
of fools in each House of Parliament as wall ai
among the clergy of the Cbnrch of England.
A few nights later tho grave and meek Areh-
biabop of Canterbury wai eanght tripping in a
similar way, for ha accused an eminent member
of the Honae of Commons of rnshing in where
wise men feared to tread. Perhaps tbe hot
weather had something to do wilh these out
breaks in the golden ohamber.
The Japanese Revolt.
Japan correspondence states that a eerions
outbreak had taken plaoe at Fukuoka, in tbe
provinoe of Teikusen. On the 2lst of J ana ten
thousand men, armed with bamboo speara, as
sisted by tbe former daimio retainers, attacked
tbe government oaatle at Fukuoka. They read
ily effected an entranse, set fire to the building
and destroyed all official books and papers.
Six officers were killed, and four are said to
have died by their own hand:. Three offioera
only esosped and ftod to L>ga, six miles from
Nagasaki. The telegraph line completed from
Nagasaki to Taikoaen ha§ been completely de
stroyed. The houses of all the Inhabitants of
Haksta, who refused to join tho to«urgents,
were burned on the 21st of Jnne. But little
blood has been Bhed so far. Bioh merchants
and native banks are plundered of all money
that can be fonnd.

The cause of the rising is said to be the heavy
taxation. The rebels demand the following con
cessions : First, a return to tha old plan, restor
ing to deimioa their land Incomes. Second, that
offiuera of a district ahall be appointed from
among the Inhabitant! of the district, and not
from distant Ken. Third, the incomes of all
property of tho Samourai ahall be returned
Fourth, that taxes shall be rednoed one-half
for the apace of three yean. Fifth, that tbe
government shall eeaso cutting down trees in
surrounding districts. Sixth, a return to the
old Japanese ealendsr. Some of the demands
are impractioable. The rebellion is spreading,
having broken out in several places.

at the earliest moment. Against some of the
regularly kept aoeonnts, in whioh the greatest
precision is observed, it is fonnd that the moat
serious allegations are mads. A prominent
effiuer of the army, speaking about thia pecu
liarity, remarked that it reminded him of a case
of an annuity granted to a little band of Crow
Indians. Sums years ago, Government, by
treaty with the band, stipulated under certain
conditions to pay them ten thousand dollars
year for seven years. An agent waa appoint
ed, the money was paid by the Government,
and vonehers were signed, accompanied by
sundry aboriginal hieroglyphics representing
snapping turtles and small figures. The
acoonnts were very profosely complimented
for their accuracy amd regularity. The
seven years elapsed and tka seventy thousand
dollars had been paid and accounted for when
it was discovered, through the uneasiness of
the tribe at the bad faith of tha government,
that the Indians had not received a oent This
was the wsy be Imagined with the negroes.
They had no idea of the quantity of money
ooming to tbsm. It must be from eighty to
two hundred dollars for bounty and arrearages
of pay. The lists were sent ont, and dishonest
agents, taking advantage of the ignorance of
the negroes, kept tbe amonnt secret, and for
five or ten dollars got their marks, duly wit-
netted. The negroes are finding out the trick
and are beginning to clamor for redress. But
the government has its vonehers, and the ac-
oonnts are all right and in good order, and
therefore, pnctioally, owes them nothing.
These investigations are more perplexing than
at firat snppoaed. The regular accounts to
some cases are in as mnch or more doubt than
the irregular ones.”
Deadly Fan.
A tourist gives the following psrtienlara con
cerning the railroad np Meant Washington. He
iys: “Not the least wonderfal thing abont
it is that men slide the whole length of it, three
miles, upon a single board about four feet long,
oalled a ’sled,’ fitted to rnn upon the centre or
cog rail, and controlled by hand brakes at the
sides. On Enoh a flimsy contrivanoe as this the
trip Is made la seven minutes, and for a part of
the way a speed of sixty miles an honr has been
attained. Shonld anything give way, or a
pebble get upon the rail, or the man's
nerve fail him, tbe mad ride must end
in rare destruction, as, indeed it did only
Inal spring, for a young man oonneoted with
the signal station here. Two of them
were going down at the same time, a few hun
dred feet apart. On one of tbo steepest slopes
the man behind, tbrongh fatigue or fright, lost
control of hts board, and rushed down upon
the man to front at a frightful speed, sbonting
to him to clear the way. InBtesd of straining
every norve to keep the lead in a race lik9 this
for life or death, where there was no such thing
as passing, the latter attempted to hold np.
One of hia brakes gavo way, his board slewed,
he struck a sleeper, bounded twelve or fifteen
feet in the air, and fell a msugled, bleeding
mass, which rolled many yards down the moan-
tain before it finally stopped. Strange to Bay,
his companion, who bad been tbe unintentional
cause of the Sooident, reached the foot in
safety.”
Two Romances.
There has been a bit of romance in the life of
the Hon. William Allen, whom tha Straigbont
Democrats of Ohio have nominated for Gov
ernor, and it involves another. The Columbus
State Journal tells the two stories thus: At the
beginning of the political campaign of 1S30,
hen Allen was nominated for Congress by the
Demoonts, and McArthur, the Whig Governor,
was a candidate for re-election, Allen was the
lover of HeArtbnr*s daughter, and between
them there was an engsgement to be married.
Bnt it ia aaid that after McArthur's defeat, the
Governor broke off the matrimonial engage
ment, and the lady married a Kentnoky gentle
man, who died before tbe expiration of Allen’s
term I> the Honse. Gov. McArthur died abont
the same time. At this point oomes in another
little romance. A gentleman, who waa an nltra
Democrat, and a great admirer of tbe then riH-
daughter, wun, utM *« ow-i-—. -
married a Whig. In making hia will, the old
gentleman disposed of tbe property in saoh a
way that tbe Whig husband could not aeqaire
title in IL This lady also became a widow; she
afterward met Allen G. Thurman, and ia now
Mrs. Senator Thurman. It was at the wedding
Jadge Thnrman that Mr. Allen again met
Mies MoArthur (by this time the widow of the
Kentnoky gentleman). The old love was re*
r.ewed; they were married, and lived happily
together until the death of Mrs. Allen, which
occurred before the ezoiration of Mr. Allen’a
Senatorial term. Mr. Allen has since been a
widower.
