In an interior town lives an old char
acter named Ben Hayden. Beu has
some good points, but he will run his
face when and where he can, and nev
er pay. In the same town lives Mr.
Jacob Bond, who keeps the store at
the corner. Ben had hie score there,
but to get his pay was more than Mr*
B. was equal to. One day Beu made
his appearance with a bag and a
wheelbarrow.
“>lr. Bond, I want to buy two
bushels of corn, aud I want to pay the
cash tor it.
“Very well,” said B.
And they both go up stairs, aud B.
puts up the corn, and Ben takes it
down, while Mr. B. stops to close up
his windows. When he got down, he
aaw old Beu some distance from the
door, making for home.
“Halloo, Ben, you said you wan
ted "to pay the cash for that corn.
Old Ben sat down on the handle
of his barrow, and cocking his head
on one side, said, “That’s all true Mr.
B-; I do want to pay the cash for the
corn, but I can’t.
COTTOXT STATUS
Laud and Immigration Company,
ATHENS, GA.
The Agency of this Company has been organized
to furnish a reliable medium by which our people
may, at the smallest outlay in cash, obtain thorough
labor of all kind*, viz: Farm laborer*, Gardeners
Shepherds, Domestics, Hostlers, Seamstresses, Rail
road Laborers, Miners, Mechanics. Factory Hands,Ac.
as well as to sell lands to foreign farmers, aud to sup
ply Tenants.
Our Agents are by long and successful experience
qualified to obtain the most competent labor from Eu
rope, They are intimately acquainted with our wants
in this respect, and, being residents of the South, and
in every respect identified with our people, will, in the
interest of the country and its future development,
take the utmost care in filling the orders with which
they are entrusted.
Our General Foreign Agent, Col. Frank Sehaller,
an officer in the Confederate States Army during the
war, is fuily acquaiuted with the characteristic* of for
eign emigration, and having lived at the South for tbe
last seventeen year*, is no less cognizant of the labor
which will suit our people. During the years 1868—
1871 he acted as the General State Agent of Iiumi-
£ ration of Virginia, and was eminently successful in
lying for that State the basis for a substantial immi
gration. Col. Schuller will personally fill in Europe all
orders received by the Company.
Our General Agent at Athens, Captain H. H. Carl
ton, known throughout the South as Captain of Artil
lery in General L-e’s army, will be permanently loca
ted and conduct the business of the Agency at Athens,
acting a* receiving and disbursing agent of the Cum-
pany.
Our General Traveling Agent, Dr. Edwin D. New
tou, late Surgeon in General Lee’s army, who has for
several years boen laboring so earnestly iu behalf of
1 he agricultural interest of the State of Georgia, will
personally solicit orders throughout the country, make
c.ntracts and g-ve receipts-
l.nbsr ef all kind., as mentioned above, we
order by steamer or sailing vessel. The cost per sail
ing vessel is twenty dollars less than by steamer; this
passage-money advanced being gradually deducted
from the wages contracted for- Persons desiring la
borers for this or next year, will please forward their
orders at once. Small orders tor immediate labor can
only be filled by steamer. Due notice will be given to
all onr customers when the labor ordered will reach
Savannah
Tbe Csslrscl with the party engaged is always
made in Europe, agreeably to the terms mutually
agreed upon between agent and contractor. These
contracts are mads fully biuding, in the mauuer by us
to be indicated. We shall, whenever desired, endeav
or to make contracts for a term of two years.
Tenant, are brought out in the same manner as
laborers, and an additional charge of ten dollars per
tenant is made, if the landholder advances the passage
money. If tenants, on the contrary, are sought wh->
pay their own traveling expenses, a charge of twenty-
five dollars for each tenant is made by us, to be paid
to us with the order. If this order canuot be filled by
us we refund the money; if the tenant, after presen
tation, is not accepted agreeably to the orig ua! terms
of contract, the money is forfeited to us. All charges
for tenants are made irrespective of the term of tenan
cy agreed npon.
I.asda are sold on commission; we require plat
and survey, descriptions, abstract of title, aud explicit
terms of sale.
Nationality- While in all cases we shall endeav
or to meet the wishes of our customers in this respect,
yet the labor-maiket in Europe is so constantly chang
ing, and the requisite qualifications for the various
kindsof labor, are so diffeient, that we desire to be
left free to exercise a due discretion in our selections,
to enable us to furnish the best iu tbe market, and thus
subserve our joint interests.
I.nngungs. Some persons, desirous of employ
ieg foreign labor, yet not wishing to engage natives of
the British Dies, see au obstacle inthe fact tha’ North-
eru Knropeans are strangers to our language. Our ex
perience leads ns to consider it an advantage lather
than otherwise. A laborer unacquainted with the
English language, will avoid from the first such asso
ciations aud influences as would prove injurious to ins
perfect contentment, but by gradually acquiring our
language he will have a better opportunity to appre
ciate our character and custom* as a people, than o\e
already possessing a command of our language. Ex
perience has taught that but a few weeks are necessa
ry for these laborers to sufficiently understaud our
language to perform all duties required of them.
All business of this Company will be conducted by
our Agents. They will at all times take pleasure in
furnishing such information as may be desired in regard
to term*, contracts, manner of delivery, etc. All
communications requiring au answer should be accom
panied with ^postage stamp.

For the Federal Union.
I.ctler from Colquitt County.
Moultrie, Ga., Feb. 6, 1872.
Kditort Federal Union: Some time has elapsed
since my last communication, and I And if I abide by
the old advice—which by the way is very good—
“ never to write until you have something to wi ite,” I
probably would never write again, for we scarcely ti nd
enough transpiring here in a year to All a half column.
We have the most quiet little villaue imaginable.—
Mail occe a week. Then the sturdy farmers and old
hunters of the country around come in to get the
news and take a social glass or two and frequently get
merry befere leaving—their lime of leaving generally
being about dark; then all is quiet again until the
next mail day.
We are (although apparently so lifeless) looking on
with great interest at the passing events, preparing to
assist with ail our might this fall iu the contest be
tween rotten Radicalism and true Democratic princi
ples, and we are to a man opposed to the New De
parture or passive policy. We want to fight under
our good old Democratic banner aud gain the victory,
and then we ran count on having the right kind of a
government. But a truce to politics, and everything
else of the kind. A certain friend ot mine (and I can
not account for it either, unless he wishes to be as
great a poet in the estimation of others as “ Dotty
Goft” is in his) has turned poet, and sends me almost
daily a few lines from his prolific pen. I will send you
a specimen of his “ boultry,” as “ Oufty” would
have it:
MISS RUTH IE A.
Dear Ruth, forgive my prating tongue ;
Your beauty is so exquisite;
I wish to know would it he wrong
If I pay you a visit.
Is it a sin for me to admire
Yonr charming clear blue eye;
Then to be pardoned is my desire,
Or a sinner I will die.
Would it be wrong your hand to take
And hold it in my own 7
Oh give me an answer for my sake,
Though I am to you unknown;
Would it be wrong a kiss to press
Upon your cherry lip,
VY Idle you gave ine a sweet caress
Its nectar I would sip.
Would it be wrong if around your neck
One arm in love be placed,
YVhile the other lay caressingly
Around your tender waist ?
It was but once I caught yonr eye,
As it threw upou me its light;
Oh say dear Ruth is it possible I
Interpreted that look aright.
Coula love, dear girl, the meaning be,
YVben you looked at me so straight ;
An angel then might envy me
My bliss it is so great.
1 doubt sometimes it I am rigid ;
Could such bliss for me await.
1 wish my faith was lost in sight;
But I’ll abide my fate.
Surely your heart cannot he bard,
You will pity my distress,
And sometimes sigh for the absent bard,
Then think of my addiess.
Now, sirs, as “ Oofty” remarked, “ Y'at you tink of
dat bretty goot.” The mau that can write such is rash
enough to commit matrimony, and I really expect to
hear before long that he has gone and done it. More
anon. T. C.
Preparing for War—Iran Clad, ta be Built.
The Naval Committee ol the House have agreed to
report au important hill authorizing the Secretary ot
the Navy to construct ten or more steam vessels ot
war, cariyiug guns of large calibre, tbe hulls of the
same to he built of wood or iron, as the Secretary may
decide, aud appropriating three imilions of dollars for
the same, in addition to any sum of money that may
be realized lrom the sal* of vessels, machinery, .rd-
uance or materials now at t he navy yards or naval sta
tions. The bill further directs the Secretary to appoint
a hoard of survey to recommend the sale of such ma
terial at public auctioD, the proceeds thereof to he also
applied lo the construction aud equipment of vessels
ot war of ihe most approved modern description, com
bining strength, speed and etieotiveuess, the plans aud
specifications to be furnished by the Navy Depart
ment. There is a prevailing belief among members
that this will Oeeome^a law. It would be far better,
wo think, to spend a few hundred in doing what is
right, ami thereby avoid collision* that will add hun
dred* of millions to the burthens of au already over
taxed people.
lieimg for Ike Reporters.
The grand jury of Bibboounty paid its respects to
the local reporters, in their presentments the other day,
after the following fashion:
As iucidantal to the transaction in courts in which
minor offences are reviewed, we notice, as worthy ot
reprehension, the style permitted, if not approved, in
which their proceedings are too Commonly reported for
the local columns of newspapers, mockery ot the ac
cused, ridicule of witnesses, jesU at the officers, jocose
familiarity with the Judge, aud a general trave-ty of
the investigations seems to be the staple of inch pro
ductions—ail couched iu the dialect of slang. Doubt
less ludicrous incident* do sometime* occur in such
scenes, and doubtless there are reader* whom such
wit-wntiugc can amuse, but such reporting makes in
roads upon tbe dignity of tribunals established by law
for the well being of society, and libel* their claims to
the respect of the people as grave and important in
stitutions.

DREAM LIFE AND OTHER POEMS. By Stock-
ton Bate*. Claxton, Remsen Sc Ilaffolfiuger, 819
821 Market 8t., Philadelphia. 1872.
This handsome little volume, print
ed on tinted paper, and redolent of all
the elegancies of the art of modern
book manufacture, is one of the latest
emanations from the teeming press of
our friends Claxton, Remsen and Haf-
felfinger.
This young house has assumed the
post of the most prominent among all
the Northern houses lor the manufac
ture of Southern books. We dare to
assert that of the publications of
Southern books during the last year,
Claxton, Remsen and Haffelfinger have
published three times as many South

have made a personal visit to their

These gentlemen Yvin patronage by
deserving it.
The little book before us is one pre
senting not only the mechanical at
tractions referred to; but its inner
life, its holier soul embodied within,
is full of true poetic inspiration. Yet
we imagine that the efforts before us
are rather the tokens of maturing and
coming power than manifestations of
the plenitude of the author’s abilities.
The lovers of poesy will, however,

PAPER MAKING IN JAPAN.
We presume that some of our readers,
at least, are unaware of the fact that
the paper of Japan is made, in consid
erable part, from the bark of a tree
which constitutes a very common
shade tree on the streets of Milledge
ville. We allude to the Paper-Mulber
ry, known to botanists as the Bious-
senetia papyrifera. It is a native of
Japan, and other countries of the Ori
ent.
The February number of the unri
valled old Eclectic Magazine, publish
ed by E. R. Pelton, 108 Fulton St’ N.
Y. contains a very interesting article
on Japanese paper manufacture* W«
have before us a specimen of Chinese
paper (similar to the Japanese) and
we must bear testimony to its exquis
ite fineness and strength ef fabric.
No Japauese paper is made of rags.
It is manufactured from the inner
bark of four trees or shrubs, of which
the Paper Mulberry (or French Mul
berry) so well known to us is one of
the most important. Its Japanese
name is Ma Kodzu. It is cultivated
for the purpose, very much as we see
willow cultivated in the North for
basket-making ; and being gathered
annually, the stalks are cut into short
lengths, macerated iu water, and the
inner bark finally separated from ex
traneous matter. This is made into
beautiful paper. The whole article,
occupying several pages, is full of in
terest. It may add to our pleasure in
looking at this very common shade
tree in our daily walks to know that
so much of the paper of the hundreds
of millions of inhabitants of Japan and
China is made from its bark.
This number of The Eclectic Maga
zine contains also a fine steel engrav
ing of Lord Lisgar, the present Gov
ernor Geueral of Canada, a fine old
Irish Lord about 65 years of age, from
the county of Cavan in the Emerald
Isle, with a brief biography of his
Lordship attached. In addition to
the foregoing, the contents embrace a
great number of other articles of sur
passing interest, as Church and State
in Italy—Coleridge—A Persian Passion
Play—Tennyson's Last Tournament—A
Morning in the Tuileries—The Kembles,
&c. &e. Are our readers aware that
one of tbe Kembles, a beautiful and
accomplished lady recently married in
England, is a resident of our Georgian

HOLME OV REPRESENT ATI VES.
HON. ELI S. GRIFFIN.
The subject of this sketch is one of
the very few members of the present
Assembly whose legislative careers an
tedate the beginning of the late war.
He was born in Twiggs county on the
27th of September, 1S28, was educa
ted at private schools, and has always
been engaged in agricultural pursuits.
He entered into active political
life when quite a young man, as a
member of the Democratic party aud,
iu 1S51, was elected Sheriff of his coun
ty. This office he held with credit a-
bout one year, when he resigued it,
having been elected a member of the
State Legislature. For eight consecu
tive years, beginning in 1853 and end
ing in 1860, Col. Griffin represented
Twiggs county in the Assembly, hav
ing been thrice re-elected during that
period. The mark of confidence thus
reposed in him by his constituents vras
well merited, as he served them with
ability, and made one of the most effi
cient members. When the movement
began for Southern Independence he
gave it an enahusiastic support. Ear
ly in 1S61 he entered the Confederate
army as a Captain in the Twenty-sixth
Georgia Infantry, and, on the organiza
tion of his regiment was elected its
Major* Holding this rank he went to
Virginia, where he served under Stone
wall Jackson, and participated with
gallantry in the Seven Days Battles be
fore Richmond, soon after he was pro
moted to Lieutenant-Colonel. In this
capacity, Colonel Griffin took part in
all the campaigns of Lee’s army until
the second battle of Manassas, when,
being severely wounded, he was inca
pacitated forfurther serviceiu the field,
and compelled to resign. He returned
home in thefall of 1862, and,at the elec
tion held the same year, was chosen,
without opposition, a State Senator,

Til E RAG-PICKER'S NON.
As the gray dawn of a November
day was breaking over the city of
New York, some tYY'enty years ago
a light streamed from the window of
an old tenement house iu Manhattan
street. The room from Yvhich it came
Yvas the dwelling-place of “ Old Meg,”
the rag-picker, and her little son VVil
lie. For seven yeaisshe had been an
inmate of the same room, and nearly
ev r ery morning, at an early hour, she
went forth in search of rags, and her
little son went to his place of employ
ment, down town.
Wiilie was a bright-faced, curly
haired little fellow, of some thirteen
years, and was the hope and pride of
his gray-haired mother. “ Old Meg,”
(Willie’s mother) as the boys u?ed to
call her, was about forty years old;
but her road through life being rough,
and her burdens heavy to bear, she
looked much older. Everybody in
the neighborhood knew her to be an
honest, God fearing woman. She
troubled nobody; and since her hus
band's death, some ten years before,
had worked hard to support her little
6on, aud let him receive as much edu
cation as possible.
On the morning in question, she
was up at the usual hour, and her
scanty meal was spread for herself and
Willie. The room in which they were
living was not very large, nor was the
furniture extensive; but everything
had the appearance of the most scru
pulous neatness. After they had been
'«ated at the table for a fevv moments,
and Willie’s mother had asked a bless
ing, Willie said :
“Mother, you must let me go and
gather the rags to-day. I have a holi
day, and you do not look well. I
know the rounds, for, you know, I
used to go with you often before I
went to work fur Mr. William*.”
“My son,” said his mother, “this
to represent the Twenty-first District, i is the only holiday you have had for
and, in 1864, was re-elected, serving
with ability until the Confedracy was
overthrown. On the return of peace,
he was, for some time, under the pol
itical ban, but his - political dis-
ablities were finaly removed by Con
gress. In 186S Colonel Griffin advo
cated the Congressional plan of recon
struction—not because it pleased him,
but because he believed it to embody
the most favorable terms attainable.
He however remained a Democrat in
his political views, and has always
been one. In 1S70 he was accepted
as a compromise candidate by both the
political parties ot his county, and was
elected to the Legislature. Colonel
Griffin married in 1818 to Miss A. M.
Nash, of Twiggs, is a member of the
Baptist church, and also a member of
the Masonic Fraternity. A gentleman
of fine address, of ability, and of integ
rity, he lias proven an excellent legis
lator, and, during the past session, has
showu himself as patriotic, and as de
voted to the interests of his people, as
in the happy days gone by when he
served iu the House at Milledgeville*
HON. DAVID C. MANN.
Mr. Mann is a native of Wilkinson
county, and was born there in 1S4*2.
He received a private education, aud
from his youth to the present time has
been engaged in farming. In May,
1861, heenteredthe Confederate Army
as a private in the Tenth Georgia In
fantry, and served iu the Army of
Northern Virginia, in McLaws’ Brig
ade, until the battle of Sharpsburg,
where he YY T as wounded and captured.
Having been disabled from further ser
vice in the field by his wound, on his
exchange he was discharged from the
army. Some time after his return
home Mr. Mann was elected Tax Col
lector of his county, and filled that of
fice ably and acceptably until 1S6S,
when he was elected Ordinary. This
latter position he held until 1870,
when he resigned, to take his seat iu
the Legislature, having been elected
thai year by the Democracy to rep
resent Wilcox county in the LoYver
House. Mr. Mann has made a good
member, and has altogether merited
the confidence of his constituents.—
Personally he is a clever gentleman,
somewhat reserved in his manners,
but warm-hearted, generous and hos
pitable.
A Cure for Sea Sickness.— An au
thority on this subject, says:
I am much surprised at the opinion,
which is so prevalent, of the incurabil
ity among the non-medical part of the
community from sheer ignorance, and
among sea-going surgeons from a su-
pineness to applying remedies—a fault
to Yvhich they are rather too subject.
In the greater number of instances 1
allow the stomach to discharge its
contents once or twice, and then it
there is no organic disease, I give five
drops of chloroform iu a little water,
and if necessary repeat the dose in
five or six hours. The almost instant
effect of this treatment, if coupled
with a feYv simple precautions, is to
cause au immediate sensation, as it
were, of warmth in the stomach, ac
companied by almost total relief of
the nausea and sickness, likewise cur
ing the distressing headache, and
usually causing a quiet sleep, frum
which the passenger wakes quite well.

Governor Campbell, of Wyoming,
has espoused the cause of ladies to such
purpose that one of them has nobly
espoused him. It is said that the wo

joke on the bachelor Governor, in the
faith that he would veto it. He has
first circumvented the Democratic jo-
kists by signing it, and now by pledging
to Wyoming a future radiant with
Campbells. So much for sportive legis
lation on a serious theme.—St. Louis

six months, and I would not like to
take it from you.”
“Never mind, mother; I’m young
arid don’t mind Yvork. You won’t
have to go out many more mornings,
for Mr. Williams is going to raise my
wages soon, aud then l shall make
enough to keep us without your work
ing.”
And the little felloYv’s eyes beamed
with pleasure at the thought of his
mother uot working any more.
“ Well, Willie,” replied Mrs. Mat
thews, “ you may go out in my place
to-dav and I will rest.”
Willie soon finished his breakfast,
and taking tbe bag and hook, kissed
his mother’s pale cheek, and with her
kind “ God bless you!” following
him, went down the rickety stairs and
and into the chilly autumn twilight,
to commence his search for rags.
By noon, W illie had nearly filled
his bag, and was ou his way home
ward. As he Yvas passing a millinery
store, he saw some scraps lying by the
side of the curb, Yvhich had been sw*ept
from the shop, and setting his bag
down lie began to gather them up.
He had them nearly all picked up and
put in a cap preparatory to putting
them in his bag, when something ly
ing close to the sidewalk attracted his
attention. He stooped down and pick
ed it up. What was his surprise to
find it was a pocket-book, and to all
appearances, well filled. Willie open
ed it, and one look at its contents
caused his heart to leap with joy.
Sticking it quickly in his pocket he,
shouldered the bag. and started as
fast as he could toward home.
As he trudged along with his bag
on his back, he pictured his mother’s
surprise when he should tell her what
he had found, and show her the pile of
money Yvhich he knew the pocket
book-contained.
He soou reached home, and setting
his bag down by the door, fairly flew
up the stairs, threw open the door,
rushed into his mother’s presence, and
exclaimed :
“ O, mother, I’ve fonnd a fortune !”
And without Yvaiting for his mother
to speak, he pulled out the pocketbook
and commenced to count the money.
“Fourteen hundred dollars!” he
exclaimed, when he counted the roll of
bank-bills. “ Isn’t that a fortune,
mother!”
“ Where did you get it, Willie V”
said ids mother quietly.
k *l found it among some rags in
front of a millinery store,” answered
Willie, looking at the pocket book.
“ But here’s a name, mother,” he con
tinued, as he raised the fly-leaf. “It
is ‘Horace Carpenter, No. , Broad
way.’ But he must be rich and will
uot miss it, and we uefed .it so badly.”
“But, my son, it would be stealing
to keep it. ‘Honesty is tbe best poli
cy,’ so you had better take it to its
owner, aud if he does not reward you,
God will.”
Without a werd of remoustance,
Willie rose saying :
“I will do as you say, mother, and
if lie offers me a reward I will take it.”
“ Go. then my boy, aud God pros
per you,” said Ins mother.
iSo off he started for the store of Mr.
Carpenter. When he arrived there
he asked it Mr. Carpeuter was in. On
being told that he was, he said that he
wanted to see him. A clerk went to
a side door and called him, and in a
few moments he entered. Willie step
ped up to him aud said :
“Are you Mr. Horace Carpenter ?”
“ Y r es, my little fellow. What can
I do for you f”
“ Take this pocketbook, and see if
it is yours,” said Willie, as he handed
it to him.
Mr. Carpenter took it, and without
opening it, said :
“ Yes, my boy, that’s mine. It was
lost by my daughter while out shop
ping yesterday afternoon. I had just
written an advertisement to insert in
the morning papers concerning it! But
did you bring it to me? You look M
if you needed money.”
“But mother bid me take it to its
OYvner, and I never disobey her.”
“You shall be rewarded for your
honesty, my little boy. But what is
your name, and where do yon lire?”
“ My name is Willie Matthews, and
I live in Manhattan street, neear Hous*
ton.”
“I will go home with you»”,'«*id
Mr. Carpeuter, “ and see your mother,
and perhaps I may do something tor
you and her.”
They YY*ent out together, the rich
merchant and the rag picker’s son, and
were soon at Willie’s house.
After a short talk with Willie’s
mother, it was arranged that he should
go into Mr. Carpenter’s store the next
week. In the meantime a more com
fortable place was provided for him
and his mother by Mr. Carpenter.
Time passed on, and Willie was fast
winning the love and respect of all in
his new place.
When he reached his twenty-first
year he became a partner with Mr.
Mr. Carpenter in his great dry-goods
house.
“ Old Meg,” the rag-picker, is no
more, and the kind-hearted Mr. Car
penter sleeps in the old family burying
ground among the hills of Vermont.
But Willie remains, and you would
scarcely recognize to-day, in the hand

goods store of “ Matthews & Co,” the

Poisoning Exploits.—Madame Urs-
inus was a Yvidow—a woman of rank,
fortune and beauty, moving in the
first circles of Berlin. Her manners
were peculiarly fascinating, her repu
tation was unblemished, and her char
ity caused her to be beloved by the
poor. He husband, privy counsellor,
tiad died in 1800, and the usual period
of mourning having expired, the lady
had opened her doors again to her
friends, and was in the habit of seeing
a good deal of company. Ou the 5th
of March, 1803, there was an assembly
at her house, aud she was sitting st
the table, Yvhen one of the footmen en
tered with evident signs of terror, say
ing the officers of justice wished to
speak with her. Madame rose from
her seat without betraying the slight
est agitation, gracefully apologized for
for the interruption, and quitted the
room, saying she would return immedi
ately.
But she came not. The company
sat with cards in hands; several min
utes elapsed, when a servant appeared
at the door and announced that hia
mistress had been taken to prison. No
reason was assigned, but the guests in
stantly departed, of course, in admira
ble contusion. The particulars, as
they atterYvards came out, were as fol
lows;
One ot the servants, Benjamin Klein,
had complained of being unwell, and
Madame Ursinus had given him broth.
He grew worse, and she administered
rice milk. (Suffering extreme pain,
she brought him some plums, which
instead of eating, he concealed, took to
an apothecary, and was told that they
were stutied with arsenic. Upon this
the lady was arrested. It came out
upon the trial that she always kept
arsenic upon her person; that her hus
band, her aunt, and her lover, who had
refused to marry her, had all died sud
denly, and that two of her servants,
npon whom she had personally atten
ded, after manifesting spasms similar
to those of Klein, had died.
The proof, however, was insufficient
to establish the charge of murder.
Klein did not die, but for the attempt
upon his life, Madame Ursinus was sen
tenced to perpetual imprisonment ia
the fortress of Glutz. She lived to a
great age, and at length died, in 1836,
in the odor of sanctity. A long train
of carriages followed the hearse. The
church-yard could hardly contain the
assembled crowd; orphans sung songs
over her grave, and the poor strewed
her coffin with flowers. She died
without confessing her crimes, and
the motive for committing them has
always remained a mystery.
A correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce tells the story of a captain
of a South Carolina artillery company
who was killed in battle in Virginia,
in Io03. His body was placed in a
coffin, and this was boxed up and
brought to the home of his family, at
that time iu Columbia. It ai rived
about one week after his death. On
its arrival, his dog, that he had reared
and petted during his life, was at the
front gate, aud, approaching the house,
began to smell about aud manifest
much excitement. When the coffin
was removed from the hearse, he ran
under it, and followed it into the
house, between the pall-be*rers. Al
though a week had elapsed since hia
master’s death, and his body was close
ly encased in the coffin, this dog bad
reeognized him by the sense of smell
alone. When the coffin was laid on
the table in the parlor, the dog laid
down under it, aud remained there for
eighteen hours, until the fuueral on
the next day. Upon the day succeed
ing, it was observed that the dog had
uot been seen since the interment.-—
Search was made for him, aud he was
found lying U P 0U h‘ s li»te master’s
grave, shivering in the cold rain, that
had been falling tor some hours. He
refused to leave his position, and died
after three days’ exposure.
