notbi.ig less than a whipping by eight
other women of a woman whose character,
nr lack of it —is unquestioned. Borne days
ago there came to the neighborhood from
Chioego a woman Darned Minerva Clark.
She was br ughtby soiae of the stonecutters
working for the marble company, and her
actions w. re such as to demonstrate beyond
question that her character was far from
the best. Seme of the actions of this woman
so disgusted the womeu living around Tats
that they decided they bad stood it long
oiiougb, and Friday night determined to
teach her a lescoD. They got two young
men to take the woman away from
the stonecutters, which they did
sfter being compelled to draw their pistols,
and threaten the stone-cutters it they inter
fered. Then the men walked with the
women down the track until they got near
the marble works of George B. Sichels &
i Cos. They were walking along the track
when suddenly eight women jumped from
their hiding place and grabbed the women.
The young men ran off as per agre-ment.
Tha women then took the Clark woman,
tied her to a tree and with heavy switches
and slicks beat her unmercifully for about
half an hour, after which they let her go.
When released she ran down the track and
was soon lost from view. The whipping
bad the desired effect, for nothing has bean
seen of the woman since. Public sentiment
strongly indorses the action of the women
who did the whipping.

tbe cure of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, eta.
In 1868 I was attacked with bilious muscular
rheumatism, and have been a martvr to it ever
since. I tried all medicines I ever heard of, and
all the dootors in reach, bat found only tempor
ary relief; the pains were so bad at times that 1
did not care whether I lived or died. My diges
tion became so impaired that everything I ate
disagreed with me. My wife also suffered so
intensely with dyspepsia that hrr life was a bur
den to her; she would be confined toiler bed for
wejks at tbe time; she also suffered greatly
from giddiness and loss of sleep
Some time in March 1 was advised to take P.
P. P.,and before we (my wife and I) bad finished
the second bottle of P. P. P. our digestion be
San to improve. My pains subsided so much
iat I have been able to work and am feeling
like doing that I haven’t done before in a uum
ber of years. We will continue taking P. P. p.
until we are entirely cured, and will cheerfully
recommend Kto all suffering humanity Yours

WHY BEEB MAKE HONEY.
Alice Wellington Rollins Gives ths
Reason as Related to Her by a Bee.
From St. Nicholas for June.
It is really a lovely garden. Never were
there whiter lilies, nor bluer violets, nor
more interesting pansies.
But it needs something. I think It is bees.
For bees are so picturesque! And then
the hives! The hives are as pioturesque as
the bees themselves. Apple trees without
beehives under them are as forlorn as lilies
without bees over them.
So we bought some beautiful hives, and
placed them in the orchard, just on the
edge of the garden. Boon they began to be
Ailed with delicious hooey in dear little
white cells; but the bees were nowhere to be
seen. Every morning they disappeared.
Hying far out of sight, and the lilliee and
roses were as forlorn os ever. We had the
credit of having bees, for every one could
see the hives and taste the honey; but we
did not have the bees.
So one morning I went out and talked to
them about it.
“Dear Bees,” I said, "what is it that yon
miss iu the garden 1 Every morning you
fly away; but whore can you find whiter
lilies, or bluer violets, or more interesting
pansies!”
“We are not looking for whiteness, or
blueness, or intersstinguess,” the beej ex
plained. "We are looking for honey; and
the honey is better in the olover-fleld that
is only a mile away.”
“Oh! if that is all,” I exclaimed gladly,
1 ‘Pray don’t have the honey on your
mind —”
“Wo don't,” they said. “We carry it in
little bags.”
“I mean, don’t mind about the honey—”
“Certainly not; how could we, when we
haven’t any minds!”
"But please don't feel obliged to hunt for
h uey. I don’t care at all for honey: that
is,” I added hastily, as a slight buzzing
made me fear that perhaps I had hurt their
feelings, “I like you, you know, for your
selves alone, not for what you can give me.
The honey is delicious, but we can buy it
very nice at the grocer’s. If you like honey
for yourselves, I will buy some, and fill the
hives for you, so that you need’t work at
all, if you will only stay in the garden, and
hover over the lilies, and—and—be pictur
esque.”
'They promised to try. And they did try.
Whenever 1 looked from my library win
dows, 1 could see them practicing their hov
ering, and they really hovered extremely
well. Satisfied that my garden was at last
complete, I gave up watching it, and de
voted myself to literary work. Every morn
lDg I seated myself at the desk and wrote
rapidly till noon. But one day I was inter
rupted by a bee.
He had flown in at the window. Perch
ing himself on the lid of the inkstand he
waited awhile; then at last asked quietly:
“Why are you notout of doors this beau
tiful morning! The garden is loveljr; I
cannot see—” and he glanced at the vases—
“l oannotsee that these lilies here are
any whiter, or the violets any bluer, or tho
pausies any more interesting than those out
there. And we miss you. A garden really
ought to have people walking about in it.
That is what gardens are for. I don’t see
why we must be out there to be seen when
there is nobody to see us."
“But, dear bee, l am not looking for flow
ers this morning; I am writing.”
“And what are you writing!”
“A sonnet.”
“Are there no sonnets to be had at the
stores!”
“O, yei! Shakespeare’s and Milton's and
Wordsworth’s, of course.”
“And are your sonnets better than Shake
speare’s!"
“Why, of course not."
“Then let your sonnet go. Come out in
the garden with us, aud on the way home
I’U buy you a sonnet at the store—a Shake
speare sonnet, the very best in the market.”
“ But, you see, I want to try making a
sonnet of my own.”
“Very well, let me see you try.”
I took up the pen again, and was soon
absorbed in my rhymes and rhythm. In
deed, I had quite forgotten that the bee
was there, till he stirred uneasily and finally
sighed.
“Are you not happy In the garden?” I
asked.
“Not very.”
“But why not? Haven’t you all the lib
erty you want?”
“No; we have every liberty except the
liberty we want.’’
“And that is—”
“The liberty to work. We find that it
isn’t lillies: it isn’t clover; it isn’t honey; it’s
making the honey that we like. It isn’t
even making the honey for you. that we
oare so much about; because, you see, you
don’t like honey; it’s just making it.”
“I don’t understand. I can’t see how any
body oan really like to work.”
“But we do. Suppose yon finish your
sonnet, while I try to think over a few ar
guments to present to you later.
So again I took up the pen, and again I
was soon happily absorbed, and bad entirely
forgotten tho poor bee, till I heard him say
wearily:
“It doesn’t seem to be very easy to write
a sonnet.”
“No,” I exclaimed enthusiastically, “it
isn’t at all easy. That is the charm of it.
Anybody can write tome kind of verse, but
very few people can write sonnets. There
are a great many rules for making a sonnet;
you oan only have just so many lines, and
just so few rhymes, aud the sentiment must
change in just such a place, and very few
people have the patience for it. Even
Hhakspeare did not keep to the severest
style of sonnet.”
“And are you trying to obey all the
rules P’
“Yes •>
“Why?”
“Why, for the fun of it. It is so interest
ing to see whether one can do it.”
“Butit must be awfully tedious; and from
vour own account, you are really working
harder over it thau you need to.”
“Only because it is a great deal more in
teresting to do a thing well than just to do
it. Let me read you something from
Wordsworth's sonnet about the sonnet. Ho
says:
In truth the prison unto which we doom
Ourselves no prison is;
meaning that, if we are willing to take
pains, there is a great deal of enjoyment in
working hard over a thing, even if it is a
very small thing. He gives a great many
comparisons, about nuns being contented
with their narrow convents, ami hermits in
their cells, and students in their libraries,
aud weavers at the loom; and here, O, here,
is an allusion to you, dear bee: he tells
how—
—Bees that soar for bloom,
High as the highest peak of Furness-felle.
Will murmur by the hour in foxglove belle.
“Thatis just what you meant, isn’t it?—
that you are one of those he speak) of who
‘have felt the weight of too much liberty.’ ’’
“Yes, that is what I meant; but I think I
said it better than he says it. If it is a fine
thing to say what you mean in just four
teen lines, why isn’t It a finer thing to say
what you mpan in fourteen words? And
really It seems to me that I put the whole of
his sonnet into saying that it is not for tbe
honey that I care, nor for the sonnet that
you care;but the fun of the work.”
“The fun of tbe work! That is anew idea
—but I believe yon are right.”
“Of course lam right Sweetness is all
very well, but I should think it would be
very tiresome just to be sweet, like a flower;
I’d rather be a bee and have to hunt for tbe
sweetness.”
“And I’d rather be a human being and
have to make thinsp sweet For, after all,
if a beo doesn’t find any sweetness, he ean’t
haveany, while people can make it for
themselves. Do you know, by the way,
that you bavo given mo a splendid Bubject
for a poem!”
"Perhaps I have. But if you will excuse
me, I will be off to the clover-field; and my
advice to you is, if you must write a poem,
try to put it in four lines instead of four
teen.”
So I tried, and this is tbe pcem:
Sweetness in being sweet, that’s for tbe flowers;
Sweetness in finding sweet*, that’stfer. the bee;
Sweetness in making sweet sorrowful hours,
Tbat is tbe sweetness for you and for ms.
SHE LOVES HER CHILD.
Sensational Scene in a Court Room.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal
Here is a story whlob comes from Balti
more that will prove interesting to many
Atlanta people.
The story printed in the Baltimore papers
is as follows:
Henry A. Keppel. the popular and energetic
Atlanta agent or me Collier Publishing Com
pany, of New York, and his wife, had a sharp
contest In court to day over tho possession of
tbeirchlld. Mrs Koppel filed a complaint in
the Fulton county court of Georgia recently,
asking for a divorce on the grounds of infidel
ity
Pending litigation Mre. Keppel secured ali
mony for herself and sl2 extra for her da ugh
ter, in case the latter was retained under the
jurisdiction of a Georgia court. Acting on
counsel’s advice Mrs. Keppel came to this city,
where she has since lived with her parents.
While here Keppel filed a crossbill, also charg
ing infidelity, ana upon Keppel's petition the
child was awarded to him because of the
mother’s oontempt of court In removing her
from the state. With a copy of this ruling Mr.
Keppel came here, and entered habeas corpus
proceeding to recover the child.
The case came up to-day, and Judge Duffy
declined to iuterfere with the Georgia court's
decision. Ween he awarded the child to the
father the mother declined to give hrr up and
begged to be allowed to take her to Atlanta on
the train witn her husband, and there submit
to the court’s ruling. This offer the husband
declined, and when the mother still clung to
her child a deputy sheriff was sent for Mrs.
Kippel ran to the comer of the room. Placing
the tot behind her she stood like a lioness at
bay. About a dozen woman in court Implored
the husband to let the mother have the child.
He was obdurate, and finally tbe mother
yielded, but the little one ran screaming from
her father wbo. after chasing her around tbe
court, picked her up and carried her away.
On Jan. 22 last Mrs. Keppel, through
her attorneys, Messrs. Hopkins & Son,
filed a divorce suit against her husband,
askiug alimony and attorneys’ fees. In
March, through his attorneys, W. W.
Hadeu and John L. Bigby, Mr. Keppel
filed an answer and crossbill against bis
wife.
The coart, after investigating tbe case,
awarded the mother the custody of their
child, a little 4-year-old daughter, and or
dered Keppel to pay $25 a month alimony
and sl2 a month to support the child until
otherwise ordered by ths court, on condi
tions that the wife remained in Georgia.
8 ion after the decision of the court Mrs.
Keppel left Atlanta and went to relatives
in Baltimore.
The court was then informed that since
the filing of the petition, the plaintiff, Mrs.
Mary E. Keppel, had removed from the
state, carrying her child with her.
The provision that he should pay sl2 a
month for the support of the child was then
made conditional on her returning to the
state and giving bond and security to keep
the child within the jurisdiction of the
court Upon her failure to comply the
child was awarded to the father, and tbe
payment of sl2 a month toward the sup
port of the child was to abate.
On June 4 Keppel received the order
awarding him the custody of the child, left
Atlanta and wont to Baltimore, where be
instituted a writ of habeas corpus proceed
ings in the court of common pleas iu Balti
more.
The child was awarded to Keppel, but
soon afterward Maj. Minor, the child’s
grandfather, secured the child and refused
to (jive it up to Keppel.
Keppel has filed a writ of habeas corpus
against his father-in-law, at he olaiffis he is
detaining the child.
Keppel will probably be awarded the child
again and then he will return to Atlanta.
Ho is expected to arrive here to-morrow.
Mr. Haden, one of his attorneys, is now
in communication with lawyers in Balti
more concerning this interesting case.
RIVAL THE BENDERS.
The Westmorelands Arrested for
Many Mysterious Murders.
Fort Smith, Ark., June 31.—At last one
of the most remarkable dens of thieves and
cut-throats in the country hat been raided,
and three of the gang, the noted Westmore
lands, were brought here to-day, and lie in
jail on the oharges of various murders.
They are Wilde Westmoreland, John Bird
and John Cagle, brother-in-law of West
moreland. A few days ago a boy 19 years
old, giving his name as Sherman Phelps,
came into the United States marshal’s office
and related his storv of the killing of two
travelers by the Westmorelands on Feb.
15, 1860, over a year ago. They
were robbed of their money and
the murderers compelled the boy to throw
the bodies into Salt oreek, which flows into
the Camerron river three miles from where
it flows into the Arkansas. The toy, with
a rope around his nook, was made to swear
never to reveal the crime, and did not till
in the presence of the United States mar
shal. The matter was kept quiet to enable
the authorities to apprehend the parties,
which they did on Buiday morning last at
their home at the mouth-of the Camerron,
surprising them in their beat.
The creek is too high for dragging now,
but will be searched thoroughly as soon as
low enough to admit. For years past
travelers have been known to stop at the
Westmoreland’s and have never been seen
again. The bones of three victims were
found in a wood near by, pointed out by

ATTACKED BY A VIOIOU3 MULE.
Blacksmith fleymsn Shod It, but the
Beast Had Its Revenge.
From the yew York World.
Sebewaino, Mich., June 18.—George
Beach, a farmer, owned a mule that has al
ways been a terror to farriers and never
has been shod except after being thrown.
Fred Heyman, anew blaoksmith, told
Beach he would shoe that mule in the regu
lar way if he died in the attempt. Aided
by three men to hold the mule Heyman
sucoeeded in the task yesterday. Then he
stepped to the window to 000 l off, when the
mule broke away from the man holding
him and rushed at Heyman, striking at him
with bis forefeet, one of the hoofs hitting
him in the bead. Heyman dodged to
get out of the way, when the mule dropped
on all fours and snapped at him with his
foaming jaws. Heyman attempted to
dodge in a corner, but in doing so came
faon to face with the mad beast. He
yelled to the others to kill the mule. One of
the men drew his revolver, but before he
could fire the mule had made another snap
at Heyman and bitten off his nose and part
of his right cheek. Then the shot rang out
and tho mule fell dead.
Heyman’s nose was sewed on, but be has
only a slight chance for life. He is crazy
from fright, and the doctor says he is likely
to die of blood poisoning. If he lives he will
be noseless. The mule nearly killed a man
who tried to shoe him about a year ago.
