R. N. Ely, Esq.
W 6 are pleased to see, in the Albany Patriot, some
very complimentary notices of our old College class
mate “Robert,” nominating him as a candidate for So
licitor of the South-western District. He is a young
man of fair abilities and would fill the office with hon
or to the circuit. We hopetohearof his election in Jan
uary next.
Uncle Dabney.
We clip the following paragraph from the notes of
an itinerant in the Southern Christian Advocates
I met at meeting, that staunch veteran of Tem
perance, Rev. Dabney P. Jones'. His heart is still
warm in the cause, and he mourns over the low state
of the Temperance reform. He says almost the onlv
hope now is in the strychnine that isfound in nearly all
the liquor used in these days. It kills quickly—and
some fear it.
A Baby.
The following is a very good definition, so faras our
ejfrcrience goes:
The judge, jury and sentence of every well regulated
family. A thing that squeaks at midnight, and will not
be comforted. A biped called by its mother “de ille ro
sy. posy, pinkum, pink, bless its heart!” and very
frequently “toted” to the tune of “Here we go up, up,
up-e, and here were we go down, down down-e.” By
bachelors called “brat”, and by Topper, the proverbial
philosopher, delicately alluded to as “a well spring,”
The Daily Dispatch.
We ate pleased to learn that the Augusta Dispatch
is stilljlourishing and steadily gaining patronage, both
subscription and advertising. We can and do ‘most
cheerfully recommend the Dispatefci as an excellent
newspaper. The editor in speaking of the daily, says:
The Dispatch circulates freely out of the city among
merchanis who look to it for the latest telegraphic and
commercial news. It is a cheap paper, and it is grati
fying and encouraging to us to see its circulation stead
ily increase. Its city circulation is equal to if not larger
than any other paper published in Augusta. Merchants
look for it with anxiety, and as for the Ladies (God
bless them all,) they won't go without it.
Hon. A. If. Stephen*.
Our associate met Mr. S. a few days since and was
informed by him that his recent pleasure tour out West
was a most delightful one. He visited the Mammoth
Cave in Kentucky, and went to see the “Old Log Cab
in,” but it had burned down ten days before his ar
rival ; he passed through Ohio, Michigan and crossed
over to Chicago in Illinois. In Olno he passed through
a place containing some 3000 inhabitants, all of whom
were engaged in manufacturing whiskey, and raising
hogs upon the swill. The wretched effluvia which rose
from the hog pens and distilleries, filling the atmos
phere of the whole country, he represented as being
intolerable.
. Postage on Uommuni catffons.
We would most urgently request “long winded”
correspondents to stick enough stamps upon their pock
ets, to render the prepayment of postage on them cer
tain. We have recently found in our post office box
envelopes “ stuffed chock full" —almost ready to burst,
with only one stamp stuck on the corner, and right be
side that the postmaster writes, “due” so much. Now
this is very annoying; and particularly so when we
take into account the fact that nine-tenths of such bun
dles are thrown into the trash box, and many ol them
lodge therein w ithout a perusal. We shall in future
decline taking all such from tho post office.
An Editor Tight.”
We believe it is rare that editors indulge in a drop,
but when they do, their readers arc sure to find them
out. A Syracuse cotemporary w T as called upon to re
cord a “melancholy event” at a time when his head was
rather heavy, and did it up after the following man
ner :
“Yesterday morning, at -(o’clock P. M., a man with
a heel in the hole of his stocking, committed arsenic by
swallowing a dose of suicide. The inquest of the verdict
returned a jury that the deceased came to the facts
in accordance with his death. He leaves a wife and six
small wives to lament the end ot his untimely loss. In
death we are in the midst of life.”
We are pleased to see that the editors of the Federal
Union are getting afraid of old “red eyethey desire
tohave him inspected, which ifdone, w'itl certainly reveal
horrid deformities in his features, and w r e think the ed
itors will be induced to cut his acquaintance when they
learn his component parts. In the last issue of that
paper we find the following editorial suggestion:
Would it not be well tor our city authorities to make
the appointment of an Inspector, and have the liquors
that are sold in our city examined t We see it staled
that the Inspector in Cincinnati found a large propoi
lion of the whiskey and other liquors contained vitriol
enough to oat holes in the stomach. It is not impossi
ble but some of that liquor has been sent .South, and
found its way into our market. No harm can lie done
by the examination.
Eiißlnnd and America.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce says there has never been a time
since the peace of 1.783 when the relations between this
country and Great Britain were so entirely cordial and
satisfactory as at this moment, and this sentiment was
expressed by the able, enlightened and veteran Secre
tary of State, on the morning of the sth—just befifre the
reception of Mr. Field’s dispatch announcing that the
cable waslaid. Telegraphic inter-communication may,
therefore, well be commenced without interchange of
messages of peace and good will between the two
ernments.
The same correspondent states that the right of
search and visit has been explieitely surrendered by the
present head of the British government.
Feeing waiters.
Perhaps every one who has travelled has experienced
the unjust taxation which this system imposes at nearly
every public house. It has been allowed by Hotel
proprietors until waiters expect it, and will not move
without it. The system is an outrageous one and
should be broken up. Some unkown traveller makes
the following remarks upon the subject":
This is a bad practice, and one that every hotel pro
prietor should discourage. It gives rich men, who can
afford to squander money, an undue advantage. It is
presumed that in all first-class hotels the waiters are
fairly paid by the proprietors for their services; and
they ought to do alt in their power to promote the
comfort of the guests without a douceur. It is a sort
of bribery that debases the parly accepting it, and is
a tax upon the guest which the servant has no right
to impose.
TANARUS ‘l'rue.
The Tlecordtr of Chicago, 111., in charging the grand
jury recently, said:
. Dming thepast five years that I haveheld this court
. n unpleasant duty to try and sentence to
o ,!!i e i n !r several hundred persons; and I am

This fact is applicable not only to Chicago, but to
every other portion of our country, in these peculiar
y selfish tunes. Arraign a poor man before a jury
ofh.s peers and they deal with him according to his
deserts but a rich man seldom if ever receives justico
at their hands, no matter how flngrant his crime. Who
is not cognizant of the truth in this statement, and who
is not ready to say that such a state of things ought
not to exist.
“The deacon of an Arkansas church, upon whom a
new pastor had been settled, was praising his many
good qualities to the deacon of a neighboring church,
fie declared that their new minister had but one fault
in the world, and that was a propensity to become a
little quarrelsome when he vtas drunk.'’

\Vl> llaVc>- j(Jt j i;Hl ,|, t , pleasure of hearing again from
. ‘ ..ildren’s friend,” and wc know the little boys
“..,d girls among our readers will be glad to learn ilntt
lie intends returning South early in October next, lo re
sume his labors in behalf of the childicn. Wc perceive
he has not been idle since leaving our State last spring:
having lectured, as he informs us, in Charlotte, balls
bury, High Point and Grtcncsboro’ , N. C.; Danville,
Richmond, Bowling Green and Fredericksburg, Va.;
Cherry Hill, Md.; Newark and Wilmington, Del.;
Chester and Norristown, Pa.; Colchester, Conn, and
when lie wrote us was about closing a series ot lectures
in Rahway City, N. ,J. having held, in all, overone hun
dred Sunday School and Temperance meetings since
April last.
Mr. Hunter went North for the purpose of resting
from his labors during the summer months, but it would
seem that the friends of the good cause will keep him
on the move wherever he goes. He states, however,
that he intends to take a little respite from this time un
til the first of October next, and he desires us to say to
the friends of the Sunday School and Temperance cause,
that (hose who desire his services on his return South,
may write him at Elizabeth, N. J. He would be pleased
to hear from any of the superintendents or teachers of
Sunday Schools where he has already lectured, giving
any facts of interest in connection with their schools,
and would also be glad to hear, by letter, trorn any of
his dear little friends, the boys and girls who have
heard him lecture.
We have no doubt many of the children will embrace
this opportunity of writing to their “friend,” and we
know he will be delighted to hear from them. He has
authorized us to say that he will answer their commu
nications either through the press or by letter. Be sure
to direct your letters to Elizabeth, N. J.
A correspondent of the Tennessee Baptist makes this
very sensible inquiry in regard to church members deal
ing in spirituous liquors:
“ Ought a Christian Church to hold fellowship with
a member who will either make or sell intoxicating
liquors ? This question ought to be discused and set
tled. It is right, or it is awfully wrong. If a member
goes to the races and bets, we have no scruples about
excluding him. If he plays cards, or visits the theatre,
or keeps a farro table, we whirl him out; but if he sells
whiskey and makes a great deal of money, (like the no
ted Baptist hotel-keeper in Richmond, and member of
brother Burrow’s church.
If there is not an unscripturality about this whiskey
vending, there is certainly an immorality about it that
should not be fellowshipped. What do you say l
The editor makes the following remarks in reply,
which we heartily commend. The inquiries of Dr.
Wayland, which are here quoted, deserve the serious
attention of every one engaged in the wretched traffic:
“ We have very olten expressed our sentiments upon
this or similar queries. We cannot better present the
immorality of the traffic than in the following questions
by Dr. Wayland, who is acknowledged to be one of the
ablest moral philosophers of the age, and is, therefore,
apart from his high moral and religious character, enti
tled to the attention and respect of all. lie puts to the
conscience of each one who continues, either by whole
sale or retail, to be engaged in the traffic of intoxicating
drinks, or who in any way furnishes the same for his
fellow man, the following pointed questions. Let every
such one read attentively, and then seriously ask him
self, “Is it right ?”
Jst. Can it be right for me to derive my living from
that which is spreading disease and death through my
neighborhood ? How would it be in any similar case ?
Would it be right for me to derive my living from sell
ing poison, or from propagating plague and leprosy
around me ?
2d. Can it be right for me to derive my living from
that which is debasing the minds and ruining the souls
of my neighbors ? How would it bs in any other case ?
Would it be right for me-to derive"niy living from the
sale of a drug which produces misery or madness; which
exalted the passions, or brutalized and ruined the souls
of my fellow men ?
3d. Can it be right for me to derive my living from
that which destroys forever the happiness of t he domes
tic circle—which is filling the land with women and
children far more deplorable than that of widows and
orphans ?
4th. Can it be right for me to derive my living from,
thttt which is known to be the cause of nine tenths ot
all the crimes which are perpetrated against society ?
sth. Can it be right for me to derive my living from
that which accomplishes all of these at once, and which
it does without ceasing ?
6th. Do you say that you do not know that the liquor
you are selling will produce these results l Do you not
know that nine hundred and ninety-nine gallons will
produce these effects for one which is used innocently ?
I ask you then,
7th. Would it he right for me to sell poison on the
ground that there was one chance in a thousand that
the purchaser would not die of it t
Bth. Do you say that you are not responsible for the
acts of your neighbors ? Is this clearly so ? If these
tilings are so—and that they are who can dispute— f ask
you, my respected fellow-citizens, what is to be done?
Let me ask, is not this trade altogether v rong ? Why,
then, should we not altogether abandon it ? If any man
think otherwise and choose to continue it, I have but
one word to say: My brother, when you order a cargo
of intoxicating drinks, think how much misery you are
importing into the community. As you store it up,
think how many curses you are lieaping together against
yourself. As you roll it out of your warehouse, think
how many families each cask will ruin. Let your
thoughts then revert to your own fireside, your wife,
your little ones; look up to Him who judgeth right
eously, and ask yourself, my brother, is it right !
Origin oC Brandy.
Brandy began lo be distilled in France about the year
1312, but it was prepared only as a medicine, and was
considered as possessing such marvelous strengthening
and sanitary powers that the physicians named it “the
water of life,” fl'eau de vie,) a name it still retains,
though now rendered, by excessive potations, one of
life’s most powerful and prevalent destroyers. Ray
mond Lully, a disciple of Arnold de villa Nova, consid
ered this admirable essence of wine to be an emanation
from the Divinity, and that it was intended to re-ani
mate and prolong the life of man. He even thought
that this discovery indicated that the time had arrived
for the consununationofall things—tliecnd of the world.
Before the means of determining the true quantity of
alcohol in spirits were known the dealers were in the
habit of employing a rude method of forming a -notion
of the strength. A given quantity of the spirits was
poured upon a quantity of gunpowder in a disli and set
oh fire. If at the end of the combustion the gunpowder
continued dry enough, it exploded, but if it had been
welled by the water in the spirits, the flameof thealco
hol went out without setting the powder on fire. This
was called the proof. .Spirits which kindled gunpow
der were said to be above proof.
From the origin of the term “proof,” it is obvious
that its meaning must at first have been very indefi
nite. It could serve only to point out those spirits
which are too weak to kindle gunpowder, but could
not give any information respecting the relative strength
of those spirits which were above proof. Even the
strength of the proof was not fixed, because it was in
fluenced by the quantity of spirits employed—a small
quantity of weaker spirits might he made to kindle
: gunpowder, while a greater quantity of a stronger might
fail. Clarke, in his hydrometer, which was invented
about the year 1740, fixed the strength of proof spirits
on the stem at the specific gravity of 0920 at the tem
perature of GO degrees. This is the strength at which
proof spirit is fixed in Great Britain by act of Parlia
ment, and at this strength it is no more than a mix
ture of 49 pounds of alcohol with 51 pounds of water.
Brandy, rum, gin and whiskey contain nearly similar
j proportions.
‘Flic Course of True I.ove.
About tbirtv years ago', says the Louisville Journal,
when Sir Edward Lytton Btilvver wasa bridegroom and
the present Lady Bulwer his bride, that exquisite poe
tess, “L EL.” (Letitia E Landon,) wrote and pub
lished an account of their characters and personal ap
pearance. They are both quite young and each ofthem
in delicate health. The bridegroom was described as
pale and fascinating, nnd the bride was painted as a
fragile and fairy like creature, of surpassing loveliness.
The tender tints of her cheek weresaid to be “like rose
leaves counced on ivory.” The description was rend
everywhere, and the public ndmirntion and the public
sympathy was deeply excited for the young pair, who,
it was thought, must soon pass away from a world too
coarse and rude for such gentle and lovely natures as
theirs. Ah, little dreamed the reader then, that after
a very few yearn, the gentle bridegroom would
strike the tender bride, that she would seek redress by
publishing a series of coarse, fierce, and vituperative
novels and pamphlets against him, and that, after a few
more years, she, grown to he a sturdy, red meed and
muscular woman, would pursue him to his canvass for
parliament, take her stand upon the hustings in reply
to his public speeches, call upon him to confront her,
shout “coward” at him in his precipitate flight from her
Cresence, and announce her determination to persecute
im till he should cry for mercy, and humbly make her
amends for all his villanies.
When the fie.fe winds of ndversily blow over you
and your life’s summer lies buried beneath frost and
snotv, do not linger inactive, or sink cowardly down by
tbo way, or turn aside from your course for momentary
warmth and shelter, but, with stout heart and firm
step, go forward in God’s strength to vanquish trouble
and to bid defiance to disaster. If there is ever a time
o cam uious, it is not when ambition is easy, but
®. r ’ * ‘e ht darknest, fight when you
. own; die hard, and you won’t die at all. That
moua man, whose bones are not even muscles and
whose muscles are pulp-that man is a coward.

At a camp- meeting in Loudon j-ounty, Va. last week,

that no resistance was offered to the proceeding.
While the apple crop in this part of the country is
generally considered a failure, it will be good news to
learn, as we do from the Boston Transcript, ot the 9th
instant, “that the apple trees in that part of New Eng
land give promises of a great crop of excellent fruit.
The early kinds will soon be in the market, and the
best winter apples will be of large size and superior
quality.”
Says the Petersburg (Va.) Democrat : Two of our
most eminent physicians have lately been engaged in a
series of experiments, on the Canines, doomed by law
to an execution, with a view’ to ascertain the effects,
and; it possible, the remedies for various poisons. The
result has been a discovery that, for strychnine, astrong
dose of camphor administered before the spasm ensues,
is a decided antidote, to the effects of that subtle poison.
A correspondent of the Cleveland Review, writing
from Chicago, says: “I should say that every real es
tate man is mortgaged for five times what he can pay.
Asa general item upon this point, I will state, upon
the authority of a friend who saw the records, that the
assessed valuation of the taxable property of Chicago
last spring, was $36.000.000, while the amount recorded
upon bond and mortgage, wltidh it was pledged to se
cure, was over $109,000,000.
Threatened Indian Invasion of Texas.
The Galveston Civilian, ofthc 18th instant, says that a
letter has been received from Mr. A. C. Love, a gentlc
manentitledtothefullest credit, stating that the grand
Camanche Council was in session a short time since above
the great Salt Plains on the Arkansas ; that Paharu-ka
was making a powerful effort to combine all the Ca
manches against Texas, that seven tribles had met,
about three weeks ago. Osages and Kioways had been
invited to take part with them and share tie spoils
equally, all of which was to avenge themselves for their
defeat by Captain Ford. They will not bring their
families near the frontier.
An old lady residing not far from Exeter, was per
haps one of the most brilliant examples of con jugal ten
derness that the last century produced. Her husband
had long been dying, and at length, on the clergyman
of the parish making one of his daily visits, he iound
him dead. The disconsolate widow, in giving an ac
count of her spouse’s last moments, told him her “poor
dear man kept groaning and groaning, but he could not
die; at last,” said she, “I recollected that I had got a
piece of new tape in the drawer, so 1 took some of that
and tied it as tight as I could around his neck, and then
I stopped his nose with my thumb and finger, and poor
dear! he went offlike a lamb!”
Horrible Affair.
On Monday week, at a barbecue in Madison county,
Kentucky, near Rockcastle, Mr. Moore, the constable,
summoned Messrs. Roberts, Mullin, Jones and brother,
to help him arrest two Haileys; the Haileys resisted,
killed the constable and the brothers Jones, and woun
ded Mullin, who is not expected to live, and Roberts
slightly in the hand. One of the Joneses, after he had
been cut across the stomach, told them he could not
live, but one of them held him by the head while
the other cut his head nearly off, leaving but a small
particle holding the head and body together. The wea
pons used were bowie knives. The murderers escaped,
but one of them has since been arrested.
Indian* Chastising-a White Man for Brutal
Treatment of a Woman.
The Hudson (Wis.) North Star, states that one Ham
ilton, who lives by the side of Willow River, had shame
fully and brutally abused his sister, who is partially in
sane ; whereupon, a party of the Chippeways, who were
encamped in the vicinity, repaired to Hamilton’s house
sometime during the evening and found him in an
altercation with his wife, threatening to whip her, &c.
which further incited them to the deed of summary jus
tice. Four of their number were stationed at the door,
while the others made a noise which caused Hamilton
speedily to appear minus his outer habiliments. The
Chippeways then treated him to a ride upon a rail, after
which they divested him of his hair and whiskers.
All about a Woman—And a Married One at
that.
Says the Memphis Appeal, up at Portsmouth, Ohio,
they have had an amusing lawsuit. Three ladies were
passing a store before which several gentlemen were
standing. The storekeeper said one ot the ladies,
whose face he had not noticed, was not Mrs. 11. One
of the party said it was; another said it wasn’t.
The merchant said lie would give him a sack of coflee
if he would go and see. He went, saw, returned and
said the lady was Mrs. 11. of a verity. In the morning
he claimed the sack of coffee, sending over a horse and
cart, when a little sack, holding an ounce or two, pre
pared for the purpose, was laid on the cart and deliv
ered by the cartmen tot lie astonished Holmes. Holmes
repaired to the store and claimed a regular sack of cof
fee; it was refused. He brought suit; a jury was im
pannelcd nnd rendered a judgement againt Hyatt, or
dering him to deliver to Holmes a fifty pound sack of
Java coffee, worth eighteen cents per pound.
Fun in New York.
A correspondent of the Boston Post, writing from a
town in New York, has the following amusing ac
count of a “fugitive slave excitement” there:
There is a town in the interior of the .State, the name
of which town tortures couldn’t drag from me, but the
first two letters of its nickname are the Saline City.
Now, the inhabitants of this city have a greatand abi
ding horror of I lie fugitive slave law. They have a fu
gitive slave bell, to l>e rung only upon dire emergency;
they have fugitive slave vigilance committees, and are
cocked and grimed generally for the United States Mar
shals.
Now, some wicked man, name unknown, once tele
graphed from Buffalo that the slave catchers had seized
a colored gentleman in that city, andtjiat thijyand their
victim would be in the Saline City by the 12:50 train.
Immediately the fugitive slave bell was rung—its ef
fect was marvelous. It reminded one of Mrs. Heman’s
“Bended Bow,” or Rhoderick Dim’s Fiery Cross.
Every colored person who heard it dropped whatever
he was doing and hastened to the square. Barber’s ap
prentices left astonished, and irate old gentlemen half
shaved, boot blacks left incensed exquisites with but
one polished hoot, waiters caused late breakfasters to
go hungry, and in the twinkling of an eye the square
was filled with a dense mass of “thick darkness that
could lie felt.”
The crowd were told the cause of their being called
together, and were admonished to be at the depot when
the 12:50 train came in.
When the 12:50 train came, the depot presented a
strange spectacle. Not a white face was to be seen.
An Englishman who was onboard the train made a note
in his pocket book that a city in central New York was
entirely populated by negroes. They cast suchagloom
over everything that the lamps had to be lighted at
mid-day.
The moment the cars stopped, the lenders of the
black-guards jumped on board nd rushed through in
senrch of the poor captive. In the last car they found
an unfortunate African whom they immediately laid
hands upon and bore off in triumph. He, finding him
self seized by a dozen excited men, was scared almost
while and howled merrily. His cries xvere taken ns
manifestations of fenr lest he should he re-captured, and
consolations were heaped upon him.
“Don’t be afeerd, ohilo! l)ey shant bobber git yog
agin. Now, honey, you’s all right. Don’t be .cared
at deni white trash, any more.”
And lie was borne in triumph through the crowd nnd
hurried into a conch, which was waiting outside. By
this time he was petrified and speechless, saying his
prayers inwardly, nnd making hurried preparations to
die a violent death.
His liberators, swelling with just pride, sat survey
ring lum with the pleasing consciousness of having
done a good action, hut the conch had not gone many
yards bffijt'fl mu: of them began to rub his eyes and look
savage. Then he broke out —
“Look here, inn t dis Sam Johnsing, who libs up in’
Salt Alley, and mends boots dare?”
“Yes, sail!” faltered Sam, who had been born In
the city.
“Den what do you mean by fooling us in disway oh?
Get out of this immediately, and take that wid you!”
That was the assistance of a Nofourteen, square toed,
pegged boot, which sent Mr. Johnsing out of the conch
flying-amt ended the great fugitive slave case.
A Ml, l.ustis
1 110 Si. Louis, fiefui.biicon Ytxofdii the death of no old
limn in that city, and furnishes the tolfowing in regard
to his lifo : . i'. -vj
Many years ago Baron Frederick Voti- Uerlol, wftosic
family was one of ‘lie most independent .and aristrcicrat- j
it in Saxony, fell in Jove with a poor fhrl, and deter- ’
mined to marry her. He thus incurred the displeasure
ot his wealthy father, who, on learning of the proposed |
allianer, at once disinherited the young nobleman and :
turned him out of doors. This sudden reverse exasper- j
tiled and maddened the lover, and bidding a silent fare* ;
well to the home ol his childhood, and without inform
ing tile object of his affection lie bent his course to this
country. On arriving here he joined the U: K. Army,
and served ten years as a soldier. It is said that his
bravery and heroism on the plains of Mexico won the
admiration ol all who had opportunitiestoobservetbem.
A t tiic expiration of the ton years’service ho returned
to Germany to ascertain how the estate of his family
was managed, lie found that his parents werciu their ■
graves, and that ilie property was equally distributed I
among his brothers and sisters, himself being wholly;
overlooked and disregarded in the will. To add to his j
dark fortunes he ascertained that the girl who was the j
innocent cause ol his ruin had married and moved j
away. Von Qcytcl’s mind had never fully recovered
jroin the shock this intelligence had created. Wander*
ing in reason, he returned to the United Stales, and
came to St. Louis. Here he was prostrated by a violent
attack ol sickness for some months. When he conval
esced lie found himself entirely destitute of means.
His pride was thoroughly broken down, and to obtain
a livelihood the Baron actually took to the selling of
“bretzels,” a kind ofpastry much in favor with tlie
Germans. He continued in this paltry but honest busi
ness for sixteen or eighteen years, and gained the ap
pellation of “Bretzel Fritz.”’
Three years ago, having saved up the snug sum of
S‘.)oo, and having met one of the opposite sex, in whom
he thought ho could confide, and whom lie believed
would make him a good and faithful wife, though she
was several years his junior, Von Oertel was married.
One day, a few months afterwards, on going home with
his basket, he found that his wife had eloped with a se
ducer, and not content with bringing her husband to
disgrace, had taken his money and everything of any
value about the house, leaving him in possession of a
basket of bretzels and a dishonored heart. The old
man, for he was now fifty-three years of age, (juietlv
bore his new grief, and again, with perhaps an impre
cation on tlie false one, addressed himself to tlte great
one task of his file—forgetting.
“Bretzel Frifz” has been well known in St. Louis—
a wrinkled, slow-paced, stooping old man, with his bas
ket on his arm, and rarely a smile on his face. In the
last three years, he has laid away SIOO, the profits of his
little business. Yesterday he was buried, having been
sick three or four weeks. Before he expired he benev
olently bequeathed his small possessions to the orphan
children ot a poor man, well known to many of our cit
izens, who died about a year ago. And so ended the
eventful cureer ol Baron Frederick Von Oertel.
A Tragedy iu New York™ltlurtler and Sui
cide—Jfeu lousy tlie Cause.
A bloody tragedy occurretf on Tuesday night, in the
house No. 257 Houston-street, resulting in the death oi
a German girl named Valentia Guigcr, and in that also
of Philip Morganheimer, a printer, twenty-two years
ot age. It appears that for upwards of a year Morgan
heimer had been paying his addresses to Miss Guiger
with a view of offering himself in marriage ; and re
cently had become very jealous of the attentions of two
young men who boarded in the same house with her.
On Tuesday evening he invited the girl to walk out
with him and see the fireworks that were to be dis
played inthePark. Shedidso, and when thedisplay was
over they returned to her boarding house. After being
a short time in the bouse, and while in a backroom,
Morganheimer drew a doubled barrelled pistol from his
pocket, and deliberately shot the girl in the left breast.
She fell to the floor and expired almost instantly.
He then proceeded to his boarding house, No. 224
Sixth-street, where be shot himself over the left eye,
carrying away most of his forehead and inflicting a
mortal wound. In the meantime the Eleventh ward
police had heard the report of the pistol at the girl’s
boarding house, and Captain Squires, on reaching it
found the girl dead. The Seventh ward police also
heard the report of the shot fired at 224 Sixth-street,
and Captain Hartt, with a posse of men entered the
house, and found Morganheimer lying upon the floor
in one corner ofhis room, his forehead shot away, and
the pistol firmly grasped in his hand. A physician was
sent for, and he was placed upon a bed where every ef
fort was made to alleviate his sufferings. He made no
statement in rcgi rd to the tragedy, nor any request ex
cept for a drink of water, and died at eleven o’clock on
Wednesday morning. Coroner Connery was notified,
and held inquests upon the bodies of both of the de
ceased. The evidence adduced showed the facts in the
case to he as above stated. Morganheimer was of a
very jealous disposition, and seems to have loved most
ardently. Neat ly a year ago he became suspicious that
the girl was intimate with one of the young men above
referred to, and one evening watched them for several
hours. He subsequently told the girl that had they not
been very circumspect on that occasion he would have
shot both. More recently he has threatened the girl’s
life for acceptinginvitations to walk out with one of the
young men but she seems not to have been incensed a
gainst him on account of the threats The verdict of
the Coroner’s Jury was as follows: In the case of Va
lentia Guiger the jury say—“We find that deceased
came to her death by a pistol shot wound in the left
breast, said wound having been inflicted by Morganhei
mer, under the excitement of jealousy.” The deceased
was nineteen years ot age, and by occupation a
dress-maker. Some gentlemen residing in her neigh
borhood have contributed a handsome sum to defray
the expenses of her burial, and she will be interred to
day. The verdict in the case of Morganheimer was as
follows : “We find that deceased came to his death by
shooting himself through the frontal bone, thereby in
flicting such injury to the brain as to cause death.”
Deceased was also a German bv birth.
“Another Hat-Full, Joel.”
A short yarn was spun out to us last evening, of and
concerning the experiments at milling of a couple of
friends of ours, now or lately sojourning for health and
pleasure at the,Talladega Springs. It is unnecessary
to give the names of these gentlemen, but for conveni
ence we will call them, respectively, John and Joel.
They, it may be remarked, have great similarity of
tastes, and among other penchants, are very fond of
fishiug; and everybody knows that the vicinity ofTal
adega Springs offers line opportunity to the skillful
knight of the fly.
Thus, John and Joel—there being no religious ser
vices at the springs that day—went out, Sunday before
last, to the mill of Mr. P , a mile or two down the
creek, with a view to a dinner of small trout and bream.
With them went their invited guest, Mr. Smith, and
“Miles” “contrived” them down a bottle or two of
wine.
The party was snug : the wind was propitious; and
the fish altogether amiable. A cosy, nice dinner of
brown and crisp mountain fish was soon washed down
wtih a few glasses of champagne; and then cigars
were lit. As the smoke curled languidly about their no
ses, Satan, (who was invisibly present, without an in
vitation,) suggested to John, that that mill was a “slow
coach,” and couldn’t cut much lumber; and John ex
pressed the same opinion to Joel. Joel 1 bought differ
ently, and so did Smith.
“Let’s try her,” said John.
“Agreed,” said Joel and Smith.
It was short work ; a large pine log lay at right an
gles across the carriage of the mill; and it was agreed
to “let her rip” through this. Accordingly, the gate
was raised and immediately the slillnes of “the grand
old woods” was broken by the rapid, sharp strokes of
the saw. In a minute the log was brought up and the
saw went rapidly through.
“Now stop her,” said Joel—and Smith and John es
sayed to do so.
But the mill wouldn’t be stopped, but went clatter
ing away, as hard as ever!
“Stop her, John, or by the Lord she’l split herself in
two,” —shouted Joel. But all the fixtures were obsti
nate and refused to yield to the exertions of John and
Smith. On went the saw, while John and Joel per
spired.
Presently the carriage presented some metalic ob
structions to the passage of thesaw, but “trueas steel,”
it went against theobstruction —and away the teeth flew.
[Some pieces of mill iron had been left upon the car
riage way.] But yet it ceased not—up and down !up
and down! the true steel to the dull cast iron, until
suddenly a small fame broke out among the dust and
splinters near the point of contact.
“Great G-d, John,” said Joel; “the infernal machine
is on fire. What shall we do?”
“Run down to the creek and bring up your bat full
of water,” said John. Joel looked affectionately at his
handsome tile, which was always kept neatly brushed but
submitting to the dire necessity, he straightway made
it a fire bucket and commenced fighting the flames.
John and Smith’s straws were unavailable; neverthe
less, they did all those wild, inconsiderable things
which most persons will do, in ease of fire, when there
is no possibility ot doing any good.
Still that toothless saw rippedon, singing a demon
song as it scraped against the dull, cost iron. And the
fire kept gaining a little.
Joel labored faithfully, and every two minutes brought
up his hat full of water and threw it upon the fire.
John stood despairingly leaning against a post in the mill
and hallooed to his friend, as he seemed to pause at the
brink of the stream —
“Another hat full, Joel, for God’s sake ! The infer
nal thing will cost us at least SI2OO apiece, if it burns!”
“HiHides mi/ hut,” said Jool; but he brought the wa
ter and poured it on.
On went the devlish saw, raking, rasping, and tear
ing itself to pieces.
At this juncture, Mr. P., the owner of the mill, hav
ing seen the smoke, came down to the mill, and with
great difficulty the saw was stopped and the fire put
out. Joel won grievously “blown” oanyiug water in
hl hat, and John was quite used up with excitement,
while Smith was breathless from his exertions at some
lever which he supposed might have some influence in
quieting the demon saw.
“Gentlemen,” said the proprietor, very politely, “it
is easy enough to see why you couldn’t stop the saw al
ter vou act it a going. This mill hs some new
rangements which 1 onn easily explain—”
“For Heaven’s sake, Mr. P.,” said John, “no expiations
on that point! Its the first mill I ever set agoing and /
shall never start another! Just send us your bill for the
damages, and let’s say no more about it,”
The “boys” paid S6O tor not knowing how to stop the
saw, and that night John, in a feverish s|een, (he has
that blessing, chills and fever.) shouted to his room
mate —
“One more hat-full, Jool!” 1
How much pain the evils have cost us which have
never happened. .

For tlie Democrat.
Mr Editor: Some of the friends of temperance, re

Fort Scott, have united together and lortned an associ
ation, to be known as the “ Mount Vernon l enipcrance
Society of Bourbon County.” 1 hey have field two
meetings and adopted a Constitution. At their last
meeting they resolved to hold another meeting at the
SchoolHouse, on the road between Mr. Severs and
Mr. Helm's, on Saturday next, at two o’clock m the
afternoon. Tltcv also agreed to elect the officers ol
the Society for the next year at that time. The persons
who have hitherto niet together, are desirous that all
the neighbors, friendly to the temperance cause, should
unite with them. They wish that all the nienihers ol j
tlu’ Society may have a voice in tlie election ot officers. 1
All who may attend on Saturday next, and unite with j
the Society by signing the pledge will have the privi
lege of voting. Mr. John S. Cattlkins and J. (. Simms, j
Esq. are expected to address the Society on the oeea- ;

gaged to support meets the approbation ol llto most, ii j
not all tlie citizens of the neighborhood and vicinity, i
All are cordially and most earnestly invited to attend
tlie presence of the ladies is particularly desirable.
The object of this short notice, Mr. Editor, is not to j
advocate the temperance cause, but simply to notify the j
people of the meeting. At the meeting the claims ot j
the cause will be presented in a manner, it is trusted, j
that will meet tlie approbation of all wlm attend.

Sandhill Division, .s oi’ T. —Tlie Temperance
Cause —A Word lo (lie Divisions.
Yesterday, Saturday, August 21st, was a great day
tor Sandhill Division and the temperance cause in this
section ot Georgia. I had been teaching a singing
school during the week, and it occurred to me and some
ot the brethren, that I should deliver a temperance ad
dress on Saturday, at 2 o’clock, V. M. Avery respec
table crowd was on hand at the appointed hour; and al
though I am no temperance orator, as is well known to
those who have heard me, yet, 1 did the best I could,
asking God’s blessing upon the effort, and accompany
ing it with songs and music on the melodeon and violin
by my son and daughter. At. the end of the address
wc called for volunteers. A number of both sexes
handed in their names in addition to some whose peti
tions had been previously given; and on the assembling
of the Division, immediately after the close of the pub
lic meeting, fifteen ladies and ten gentlemen were ini
tiated. This was the first time any ladies had ever
been admitted into this Division; and the sight of fif
teen such lovely female forms, whose noble characters
would do honor to any country, nearly overcame me.
Well, I felt happy all over—just as I always do when
we have a great day at Baldwin Raiford Division, when
Uncle Dabney’s clarion tones arc ringing on the air,
and nerving us all to bolder and more persevering ef
forts in this glorious cause. Uncle Dabney, you were
in my mind when the noble W. P., Dr. Jas. M. Pal
mer, was teaching the candidates the lessons of our
order, and the music was rolling from our instruments.
I saw your form and the glad (lash of your eye; how 1
burned to hear your voice, too, shouting ps to the
charge! Sandhill Division is one of the “ fixed facts”
of the order, because il is at a Methodist Church, Bay
Spring, in the South-western corner of Washington co.
and three miles South of No. 14, on the Central Rail
road, in one of the best neighborhoods in Georgia, and
contains men who
“ Laugh at impossibilities,
And cry, ‘lt shall be done!’”
Among these brave, noble, persevering men, I may
mention the venerable Metcalf Fisher, now apparently
fully ripe for Heaven, his son-in-law, Jas. F. North
ington, S. D. Bland and many others too tedious to
mention, and last, but lacking everything of being the
least, Dr. Jas. M. Palmer, the handsome, noble, pious,
whole-souled W. P., who is also Deputy G. W. P. for
this District. I opine that this office could not have
found a lodgment in worthier hands, oven among so
many men of the greatest moral worth, as is found here
abouts.
I am going on a full round of singing schools, and
everywhere the victories of the temperance armies are
apparent: grogshops are at the lowest point ofdegrada
tion in the estimation of people everywhere, even those
who have no temperance organization among them,and
liquor-drinking has hid itself, bat-like, from the face of
day. Thousands of girls and boys, below, and in their
teens, are learning to be Christian ladies and gentle
men, and are making every circle glad in which they
join. Dry soul is glad continually as Igo from neigh
borhood lo neighborhood and see how our once-bated
cause has triumphed; and inwardly I exclaim, “What
hath God wrought ? the parched ground hath become
a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.”
Dear, honored brethren, Sons of Temperance through
out Georgia, a word to you. The brother appointed to
write you the annual address having failed, front the
pressure of his affairs to do so, our highly esteemed G.
W. P., Thos. McGuire, Esq. has requested me to write
it. I have not time now, nor shall I have before the
meeting of our G. D. in Augusta, in October, to indict ,
anything worthy of the theme, or of your attention ; ■
but I take this occasion to shout to all our cohorts scat- ;
terod “o’er mountain and valley, o’er hill-top and ,
plain,” gird on your armor and rush again upon the!
foe! Two years ago we were beaten, but uot destroyed.
A few brave men, heroes even in defeat, kept the field,
while the lovely tri-colored flag of Love, Purity and Fi
delity waved proudly o’er them, and the bright star of
temperance glittered in the Heavens above. True, the
black hosts of liquor laughed and chuckled and shouted
over what their lying father, the Devil, persuaded them
was the total annihilation of the temperance cause ; but
God and angels and all good people have been on our
side all the time. In His wise Providenoe the Almigh
ty permits every good cause to meet with reverses, and
so it has been with temperance, time and again; but
now a glorious re-action has begun, and we arc stron
ger and wiser from the things we have suffered. Let
us rouse up, every man of us, and go forth more bravely
than ever before, in this cause of religion, of humanity
and of God, while the breath of Jehovah is unrolling
our bannertotlie breeze,and thesoundofllisgoingbefore ■
us is heard in the “tops of the mulberry trees.” In a
few weeks more our Grnnd Division will meet in Au
gusta. Let every Division be ably and fully represen
ted then, that, met in ihc name of the Lord of Hosts,
we may bail each other as a band of brothers ; take
sweet counsel together for the good of our race, and go j
forth encouraged to work more earnestly in the. future
than we have ever done in the past, Go to work, dear
brethren, resuscitate old Divisions, and form new ones j
