time, awakening somew hat refreshed. His
wife and son Hugh arrived in the city to
night and are now at the bedside of the pros
trate orator. There are all sorts of rumors
on the streets about his condition. Reports
sent out from the Phinizy residence are dis
credited and the belief prevails that the

from a sick bed to keep his
Augusta appointment and came here in
spite of the advice of his physicians, who
also advised him not to attempt to s|>eak to
day. A servant at the Phinizy residence re
ports that the General is quiet, but very
sick. Friends of the Governor say he has
recovered and that nil danger of fatal con

mm A BLOW WITH A BOARD.
Strange Assault on a Woman Called
to Her Door at Columbus.
Columbus, Ga., April 2(5. —About 11
O’clock last night someone rung the door
bell at Mi's. Edna Mullen’s residence. Mrs.
Mullen answered the ring in person. When
■he opened the door she was struck a
terrible blow on the head by a
man who quickly disappeared in the
darkness. The blow produced a bad scalp
wound, from which the blood flowed freely,
and an investigation showed that it had
been mode with u piece of plonk about 7 feet
In length. It was a most unwieldy weapon,
and on this account it came in contact with
the door-facing, thus breaking the force of
a blow which would otherwise have proved
fatal. Mrs. Mullen says she has seen tne
man before and would know him ugain.
The police are working up the ease.
Most of the business houses in this city
were closed this afternoon in honor of the
dead heroes. The memorial address was
delivered by K. Brice Gilbert at the Opera
bouse, at which place standing room was
hardly obtainable. Immense crowds fol
lowed the military to the cemetery, where

graves decorated with flowers.

Zeal
From the lloxton Traiierript.
There is a suburlian church situated not
far from a very attractive and fashionably
patronized slum, M'liich makes a practice,
each Easter Sun lay, after thb Sumiav
school services, of distributing the greater
(tart of the flowers that have served in the
decoration of the church among the ])oor
children of the school. This distribution is
almost as popular with the street children
as is the Christmas distribution of gifts and
confectionery.
Yesterday afternoon, after the muss of
the children had been given a few flowers,
the Sunday school superintendent saw two
hoodhimisn small boys whom he did not
recognize standing mar by very wistfully,
caps in hand.
“Well, boys,” said he, cheerily, “what do
you want!”
“H’liT flowers, mister.”
“Belong to the school t I don’t seem tore

HIS COLLARS AND CUFFS.
The Heir Presumptive to the Throne
of England.
London, March 20.— Some of the society
papers have hinted at a scandal in high
London society which affected directly one
of the members of the royal family. Every
one here understands and tulks freely about
what none of the English papers have ven
tured to more than hint at. Ihe story,
stripped of all its improbable features, re
lates to a temporary sejxiration between
Lord Randolph Churchill and his wife. It
is a question whether this separation will
become permanent or not. Lord Ilan
dolph Churchill resigned from the Cabinet
on account of this domestic lt
is understood, when Ms wife goes to New
York, as she now intends to do within a
few weeks, that he will return to London,
and that a place Will again l>e made for him
in the administration. It is said here that
Lord Randolph Churchill is a very vain,
irritable and jealous individual, and that he
went off in a tit of rage to the Continent on
account of having discovered that Prince
Edward of Wales, the eldest son of the
Prince of Wales, was infatuated with Lady
Churchill, and that his attentions to her had
given rise to much talk. This young
Prince, who is regarded as the next Eng
lish King, since evei-y one believes that the
Queen will outlive the Prince of Wales, is a
youth of feeble mind and is the constant
butt of all the Radical papers. He is only
three and twenty and is such a typical dude
in his manners and dress that he is known
among Radical writers as “collars and
cuffs."’ The young Prince was ordered off
to Malta just after Lord Randolph Church
ill’s departure. He was detached from the
Prince of Wales’own regiment, the Tenth
Hussars, and ordered to join the Sixtieth
Rides. He left last week under the guar
dianship of Capt. Greville and one other
equerry. This is the tirst time, it is said,
that the heir presumptive to the throne has
bet'll sent off on foreign duty. The young
man has evidently been put through a se
vere course of discipline. Ho has been lec
tured by his grandmother, the Queen, and
by his lather and mother. The malady of
the young Prince is regarded simply as a se
vere ease of “calf love.” Lady Randolph
Churchill is blamed by no one beyond the
point that she should }>erhaps have snub l “and
the young man before he hud made such a
public exhibition of his sentiments. She ev
idently was restraints! by her regard for his
father and mother. The proof that there is
not the slightest blame to be attached to
Lady Randolph is shown in the very gra
cious reception given to her by the Queen at
the last drawing room and by the very
marked attentions which have been paid to
her by the Prince and Princess of Wales
since Lord Randolph’s departure. Every
cue blames the latter for his absurd
jealousy, and charges his foolish departure
to the Continent to his excessive vanity and
irritability. He is the butt of a number of
jokes since >t has been discovered that he has
been quarantined in a : snail place in Italy
for the last month, owing to his having
passed through a rural district in (Sicily
which was infected with cholera.
MEMORY OF RUSSIAN POLICE.
Why the Bulgarian Regents Hold Out
—lnstances of Russian Brutality.
Front the New York Mail.
One of the reasons of the apparently
senseless resistance of the Bulgarians to the
Czar is due t > the knowledge of those in
power at Sofia of Russia’s unsparing treat
ment of “rebels” or political enemies. This
alone will suffice to prevent the leaders of
the national movement in the Balkans from
coming to terms with her, except when
neither resistance nor light is possible. That
the Russian political police never forgive is
pretty well known, l'he following illustra
tion thereof may be of interest. In the
year PoO Stanislas Jablonowski, the son of
a Polish country gentleman, was appointed
from one of the military schools at St.
Petersburg to a commission in a Guards
regiment and had leave to visit his home
before joining. While he was still with his
family the Polish insurrection broke out
and the lad was ordered by his father to
join the insurgents. He did so much against
his own will, his Russian military education
having somewhat blunted liis feelings of
patriotism. But as his father threatened
him with the paternal curse in case of dis
obedience he threw in his lot with the pa
triots. When in the follow ing year tile in
surrection was extinguished, young Jablo
nowski was fortunate enough to escape
throught Wallachia to Turkey, where he
entered one of the Guards regiments which
happened at that time to be chiefly com
posed of Christians of all nationalities and
officered by Poles, the commander being
Czaykowski Pasha. In this regiment he
rose gradually to the rank of Major, and at
length retired from the service on a pension,
infirm and broken in health, in 1875. Asa
reward lor his long and meritorious service
the Porto appointed him to the compara
tively easy post of Surveyor of Roads m the
District of Sliven. Here lie vegetated
quietly until the war of 1877, when, un
fortunately for himself, he elected to stay
with most of the other < "hristian residents
in the town until the entry of the Russians.
Of course lie never dreamt that he would lie
punished for having fought against the Rus
sians forty-seven yarn previously. Rut the

From, the Syracuse Journal.
“What a jam!”
“Oh, it’s nothing to the last one.”
“Who are those horrid people yonder?”
“That man with the lop eye?'
“Yes. and the girl with the bony neck.”
“Those are the Willovrigs.”
“You don’t sav; why, he's literary.”
“Yes, and that's his daughter. She’s en
gaged to Lieut. Fortune, and they are go
ing to build here next year.”
“Isn’t Mrs. Cleveland entrancing?”
“lovely, and she doesn't give in to fashion
either. ”
“Her neck, you mean?”
“Yes.”
“But she might."
“Yes, she has a magnificent neck.”
“Why do we alwayscali it neck?”
“Even when we mean almost half the
body!”
"Hush?”
“These are the Higliehecks; he used to
keep a saloon.”
“And she took in washing.”
“But they’ve got $40,000,000 now. ”
“They show very little of their vulgar be
ginnings.”
“When their mouths are shut.”
“Did you see them at the opera last
night?”
“Did you ever see such a display? He
was tipsy.”
“Well, if she wasn't!”
“Look there!”
“It’s Congressman Van Gett.”
“He can hardly write his name, and
never makes a speech because he can’t read
it.”
“His wife has gold teeth. Did you ever
notice? The whole set is built if solid gold
on the old roots.”
“She must make a brilliant conversation
alist.”
“Yes, when she opens her mouth wide.”
