Who told you pa had been rtared?!’ asked the boy as he nut his thumb lu ids month, after knpekUK the nail ofT with a weight. “I didn t know as. anybody knew anything about it but me and the girl." ‘‘O, a brakeman that runs on the Chi cago train was In here this morning and he.told me your pa came up on the train last night, and along abont Kenosha he went through the train as though he had been kicked? and got into the postal car and crawled under a lot of mail sacks, and rode all the way to Milwaukee, sweating like a batcher and as pale as a ghost. What was ■ it all about? You haven’t been playing a trick on him, have you?” and the grocerymanpicked up the hickory huts the boy had left and threw them in a basket, while the boy wrapped a’ handkerchief around his thumb and looked mad, “No, I didn’t play anything on him, but I saved bis life. He Is an old smar- ty and got himself Into a scrape. You; see pa and me went down to Chicago on a pass pa got somehow-in politics. We took in the Battle of Gettysburg, where a fellow can sco all about war without getting shot in the back. We came back on tiie five o’clock train, and of course pa couldn’t set with me, but had to go and sit down in the seat with a girl that was alone. Pa hasn’t got any more sense tiian a cow about such things. A girl don’t want an old duffer to sit with her. What she wants is a young fellow, that has got bear’s oil on his hair, and smells sort of drug-store like. But pa thinks he is just as entertaining as when he was young, and if he went Into a car where all the seats hut one was vacant, and that one had a girl in it, he would go up to her in his insinuating way, and snow liis bnhl head and. say, “Miss, is this scat seat engaged?’ and before she had had time to say anything he woiild sit down with her and begin talking about something she didn't care anymore about than she would about the process of embalming Egyptian mammies. Well, p:i sat down by a .girl who was knitting, and he began to talk sweet, lie said fie was a travelling man getting six thousand dollars a year and a share of the profits. He found fault with the railroads, the cars, the hotels, and every- tliing<and to hear, him talk yoti would think he was reared in a palace, always traveled on special cars, and was worth eleven million dollars. I sat behind hint and heard what he said, and ft was all I conld do to keep from asking him if he thought ma would bo expecting us home to-night, but X have had experi ence enough with pa to know that when lie is engaged In business that enuses his brain to expand and throb, thattho safest way is to keep still. He told the girl she was purty, and asked her all about herself, and if she was going far, and lie put liis arm on the baek of tho seal, and acted as though he was going to hug her, but he didn’t, cause just as his arm began to get real near to the girl’s small of her hack, I imitated the brake- man and snooted ‘Lake Forrest,’ and pa thought thebrakeman was right behind him. and be drawed Ids arm away so quick lie hit the funny bone of his elbow on the back of the sent and it hurt him like everything. The girl latTed, and pa blushed, and in a little while he had his arm there again. Tho conductor and brakeman watched pa, and just os he got close to the girl, and was whispering to heJ, tho conductor touched him on liis shoulder and asked him what the number of liis pass was. Pa had to take tiis arm away to get his pass, and then he put it back again, and was commenc ing where he left off, to give the girl some tally, when the brakeman touched pa on the shoulder, and asked him if it was liis dog in the baggage car, chewing the hinges off the trunks. Pa said be didn’t have no dog, and the brakeman went away. The girl was real disgusted with pa, and I could see she wanted to have a rest. Just before the train got to Waukegan, the gin said she wanted to send a dispatch to Kacine, and pa gave her some paper and she wrote a mes and asked pa to send it for her. didn’t want to leave his seat, so he said to me, ‘Here, little boy, you get off at Waukegan and send this message for the beautiful young lady.’ and be gave me the dispatch and adollar. I went outat Waukegan and read the message and didn't send it. It read like this: ’Fath er, come to the depot with a horse whip. There Is an old drunkard on the train who has made himself very obnoxious to me, and I want you to maul him with in an inch of his life.’ Well, X couldn’t contribute to pa’s being mauled, sol kept It, and after the train left Wauke gan I called pa into tlie other end of the car and told him I didn't think it was beat to send that dispatch, so I had kept it. He was mad in a minute and told me 1 had no right to think anything: When I was told to do a thing, It was my business to do it, and ask no ques tions. He said he was ashamed of me, and told me when the train got to Ke nosha to go right out and send It quick. He was going to start back to talk with the girl some more when I handed him the dispatch and told himto read it, and Alien if he wanted me to send it I would. Ho read it, and his face get as white as chalk, and the few hairs on his head raised right up so they were stiff enough to tack down a carpet with, and big drops of perspiration stood out all over liis face, and his collar just wilted right down, and he was not half as tall as be fore. “Don’t say anything about this," he said in a whisper. ‘I know the clerk in the mail car, and he has often want ed me to ride with him, and I guess I will go in there. Thereisnotairenougb in this car.’ Pa went forward about as sudden as you often see an old man go white the train is in motion, and I went and sat down behind the girl. I said to tier, ‘The old party who sat with yon has gone out to ride on .the cow catcher to get cooled off.’‘ She 6aid she wished he would fall off and get left. I asked her if the old man was her pa, and she said ho was an old fool, and we had quite a nice visit. I think if old people would keep out of the way. and not be so fresh, young people could have more fun. I sat down in the seat with her, and got real well acquainted, and when slio got off at Racine, I helped her off, and 1 could imagine pa In the postal car just a sweating. Well, pa didu’tshow up till we got to Milwaukee, and then lie came out of the side door of the pos tal car all mussed up, and naelling mil dewed like old sacks. He asked me if I noticed any unusual commotion at Ra cine, and I told him there was nothing special, only there was,an old prize fight er on the depot steps with a blacksnake whip, and lots of people seeming to ex pect a row, and I guess the girl sent another dispatch. Pa shivered and said, “Let this be a warning to you, my boy, not to over allow any female stran gers to get acquainted with you, and be- como familiar,’ I told pa I didn’t see any harm In it, cause I rode all the way with that girl, after be left, and she seem ed to like it, and never once thought of . W,G, Rao JLbfftula Chronicle. Yesterday afternoon reports reach ed the city of a most atrocious and unheard ot tragedy in Bnrke coun ty, in which several colored chil dren had been brutally murdered in a cabin which their parents had just left. ' Investigation into thesfe ru mors showed that they were revolt- ingly true, and special advices to the Chronicle from McBean, near where the quadruple murder was commit ted, developed a story lacking only in sickening details. ‘ The names of the coloied family we do not know. About a mile from McBean, however, yesterday morn ing, in a little cabin just across the qreek, in Burke county, a colored man and his wife, the parents of the unfortunate children, left for the field, taking with them their eldest son. In the course of the morning the old man’s plow gearing in the field broke down and he sent the lad back to the house for materials to mend the harness. The boy repair ed to his home which had been left just after daylight, and around the doorstep and floor was greeted with traces of blood. Becoming terrified at the suggestive sight he stamped ed to the field and told his father what he had seen. The old man mounted his horse and rode home ward with all possible haste, and, bursting through the doors, was ap plied at the horrible spectacle, 'here lay upon their beds and floor, weltering in their blood, four little children. Two of them were chop pea to death and two were almost in death agony. Pools of blood clotted about the inanimate forms and dyed lhe rude flooring with stains. The parents were almost beside themselves, and no conceiv able clue to the tragedy could be obtained. The house was not rob bed—there had been nothing there to steal; no vestige of the mysteri ous and murderous hand could be detected. It is useless to add that the white and colored people of Bnrke coun ty are shocked and incensed at the wholesale slughter of innocent chil dren. They do not believe that any such demon exists in their midst who would commit such an act. Ev ery possible sympathy has been extended the afflicted family by all classes and colors, and every effort will be made to ferret out matters and to apprehend the perpetrators. The oldest child, a girl, we are told, may survive, with proper attention, although she was unconscious last evening. RIFLING A GRAVE. Thestrang* story Brought to Light by the Death of a Promlnant Olttxea ot Ohio. Between forty and fifty years ago, says a Bradford, Pa., special to the New York World, an old log church stood on the commons be tween Pittsburg and Allegheny. Adjoining it was a graveyard. About daylight one day in 1840 a farmer on his way to Pittsburg with a load of meat, passing the grave yard, heard the souna of splitting timbers. Curious to know the cause, he alighted, quickly climbed the graveyard fence, and stole along in the direction of the sounds. He had gone but a short distance when he discovered a man stooping in an excavated grave and in the act of lifting a body out of the coffin. The grave was that of a prominent young woman who hid been buried only the day before. The fanner was so filled with horror and indignation that before the man could spring out he seized a club that lay near and dealt him a powerful blow on the head. The man neither utter ed a sound nor moved after falling. The farmer became alarmed. Drop ping into the grave him self he raised the grave robber’s body and recognized the ssxton of the old church, a man who stood high in the community. Fearful of the consequences the farmer hurried home, and telling his relatives of what had occurred at once left the state. Only five persons ever knew his secret, Who found the body of the sexton dead in llie grave was not known by th;m, bui as it was given out that he died suddenly, and no investiga tion was ever made and his family soon afterwards moved away, it was supposed by the five in the secret that the body must have been discovered by some of the sexton’s family, and that the evidences of his crime were so plain that it was determined not to expose it by making any effort to ascertain how he came to his death. * , The sexton’s slayer went to a town in Ohio, where he became prominent and wealthy. He died last week without bis secret becoming known to his wife and children. The secret at the time of his death was in the custody of two persons only, all the rest of the five having died. One of these persons is a leading preacher in Alleghany; and the other is your informant, a resident of the oil regions. hfr.

If this is ‘kept up it v#ill not be safe for a married man to carry his wife there, as it is said by those that know that all such things are catching. The 5th congressional district are already getting heated up. Judge Stewart, of Spaulding county has spread his flag and will probably make the| race. Harry Jackson will be a hard man to beat even if Hammond has been elected twice before. The counties of Clarke, Oconee Walton, Newton and Rockdale will have the pleasure of breaking the neck of another independent this fall in the race for senator. In dependents don’t stand much chance in this senatorial district, as Dr. Stewart can swear to. The Savannah people |are trying to raise $1.5,000 to start a branch of the Home Valley canning compa ny. We were in hopes that Ath ens would get the benefit of this concern, but it seems that Savan nah has claimed it for her own., The Telegraph & Messenger is after the Dodge County Journal for not giving them credit for ,their editorial notes. The Telegraph Is determined that .the people shall know, it if they should write any- thinga nd somebody else print it. An English nobleman now travel ing in the west, has offered his heart and hand to a servant girl. Perhaps he knows what wages ser vant girls get in this country, and is after her money. Men are always offering their hands to the servant girl, especially married men and English men. From the reports in the Constitu- tution of Sunday it looks as if Un cle Samuel will carry Georgia with out much trouble. A great many say that Tilden is the only man in the democratic party that can win. This shows a great weakness when t is understood that Samuel J. is hanging on the ragged edge. The Sunday Record gives the Banner-Watchman. a pleasant little blast by calling us a “country news paper.” The Record should read up a little that find out that Athens is a city, and covers more ground than most of the others. It should also learn the fact that the Banner- ner-Watchman is a good-sized pa per and generally keeps up with the procession. Nobody seems inclined to tackle Allen Candler in the 9th district for congressional honors.—Albany News. This is a mistake, so some of the independents say. They are hound to beat your Uncle Allen, even if the independents have to go. into the nominating convention to get a shot at him. The Plow Boy made it too hot for Speer for him to stand with his hands in his pockets and let Candler have a walk over. The New South, published at Quitman, Ga., seems to think that a man under thirty years old has no business in the Georgia legislature, This is really very severe on the young men who are thirsting after legislative honors. We are just like the new south, only a little more so. We think a man over thirty years old is better adapted to staying at home and nursing the children than trying to make laws for the people. A young man’s mind is bright and fresh and he takes some pride in doing the best he can for his state, but an old man L when he gets to sleep in his chair, don’t care much about whether a law is a good or bad one, so they wake him up time enough to get on the record. tsrCAPHAL PRIZE, $75,000^* Ticket* only $5.
