Ike Swift said to us the other day,
“Call round some time and I’ll show you
a sample of the bale of cotton that took

We called. We wanted to see what sort
of cotton was the best cotton in the world.
The beaut}* of it is almost incredible,
even after having been handled by a hun
dred pair or so of dirty hands. (We han
dled it ourself). The cotton which Mr.
Swift showed us was as soft, almost, as
silk, was superior to what we could have
well imagined cotton to ever be, and is a
sample of the bale that took the prize at
the New Orleans Exposition. The prize
was $1,600, and the bale returned to the
producer. The most interesting part of
it all is that the cotton was made by Mr.
J. P. Snellings, of Louisiana, who is a
brother to Mr. P. P. Snellings, of this
county.

picked it nicely and gave it to his wife to
stew soon in the morning, and she cooked
it all day. It so happened that the gen
tleman had to go to town that day, and
when he returned rather “full” he was a
little hungry. He went into the dining
room, and finding the buzzard, without
knowing what it was, devoured the whole
carcass and sopped the dish. He never
had rheumatism afterwards, and said
that buzzard was good, if you didn’t
know what it was.

WHY? Because it is the only remedy
known that lias power to expel the
uric acid and urea, of which there are
some 5< 10 grains secreted each day es the
result of muscular action, and sufficient if
retained in the blood, to kill six men. It
is the direct cause of all the above diseases
as well as of Heart Disease, Rheumatism,
Apoplexy, Paralysis, Insanity and Death.
This great specific relieves the kidneys
of too much blood, frees them from all
irritants, restores them to healthy action

Catarrh of the Bile Ducts, Biliousness,
Headache, Furred Tongue, Sleeplessness
Languor, Debility, Constipation, G al 1
Stones, and every unpleasant symptom
which results from live complaint.
WHY’? Because it has a specific and

WHY ? AH these troubles, as is well
known by every physician of education
arise from congestion and impaired kid
ney action, causing stagnation of the
blood vessels and breaking direct cause
of all the ailments from which women
suffer, and must as surely follow as night
does the day.
WHY’ Worner’s Safe Cure is acknowl
edged by thousands of our best medical
men to lie the only true blood purifier,
because it acts upon scientific principles,
striking at the very mote of tbe disorder
by its action on the kidneys and liver.
For, if these organs were kept in health
all the morbid waste matter so deadly
poison if retained in the body, is pas
sed out. On the contrary, if the y arc dera
nged, the acids are taken up by the blood,
decomposing it and carrging death to the
most remote part of the body.

YYarner s Safe Cnre, by its direct action,
positively restores them to health and full
working capacity, nature curing all the
above diseases herself when the cause is
removed, and we gnarantee that Warner’
Safe Cure is a positive preventive if taken
in time.
As you value health take it to avoid
sickness, as it will at all times and under
all circumstances keep all the vital func
tions up to par.
YVe also Guarantee a Cure and bene

diseases, also that every care of Liver and
Kidney trouble can be cured where
degeneration has Not taken place, and
even then Benefit will Surely be Derived.
In every instance it has established its
claim.
ASA BLOOD PURIFIER, particularly
in the Spring, it is unequalled, for you
cannot have pure blood when the kid

Look to your condition at once. Do not
postpone treatment for aday nor iiu liour.
The doctors cannot compare constitu

Cure, and there are yet many yearn oi

Firms the Ship Alter Killing the First and
Second Mate and Four Sallors-The Cap
tain Carved Up and Two Seamen Badly
Wounded—709 Miles In an Open Boat,
jjew York Sue
Capt.Robert K. Clarke arrived in
this city yesterday on. board the
Servia, and told in detail about the
murderous mutiny that broke out
on his ship in mid-ocean. Frag
ments of the story have been wired
over here for some time past, hut
these give only a faint and misty
idea of the bloodiest and toughest
kind of a time that ever a handful
ot men went through. Capt.
Clarke’s ship was the Frank N.
Thayer, a full-rigged ship, 200 feet
long, of 1,592 tons. She sailed from
here on the 19th of February, one
year ago, and reached Shang
hai on the 4th of July, where the
crew was discharged and a new
crew engaged, when the Frank N.
Thayer, at about the end of August,
started for Manila, in the Philippine
Islands, which is about 300 miles
southeast of Hong Kong.
On the way one of the men died
of cholera. At Manila another man
was engaged to take his place. But
this man had a good time with - the
$30 that was advanced to him and
ran away on the day before the ship
was to sail, taking one of the crew
with him. This left the captain two
men short, and in the emergency he
engaged two Malays, or Manila In
dians, as he called them, to take
their places. Then, on the 31st ot
October, the ship started back for
New York. She carried 10,700
bales of hemp, worth about $265,-
000, nineteen men of mixed nation*
alities, Irish, Dutch and English
mostly, the two Malays, Capt.
Clarke, and his wife and little girl
6 years old.
The names of the Maylays as well
as Capt. Clarke could remember
them were Y. Sierra and R. Au—
gusto. They were little, vviery men,
about 5 feet 4 inches, of the color
of copper that badly needs polish
ing, with short-cropped black hair
and very piercing black eyes. Their
activity and quickness was more
like that of monkeys than ot men,
and a stoop which marked their
walk also called to mind the gorilla
and other members of the upper ten
of monkeydom. The first thing
that the men noticed about the May
lays was their wonderful and de
ceptive strength. They did .not
look strong, but yet could do things
with ea'-e that would have taxed
the muscles of the biggest able-bod
ied seamen. Many things were to
happen that would forever impress
on the men the peculiarities of the
Malays, but that was not to be just
yet. "The two men were not ac
complished seamen, tut they were
hard-working and obedient, and
knew enough to do what they were
told. If they saw a sail clewed up
they knew that they had to furl it,
and when there was anything they
did not undeistand, a South Ameri
can, whose name Capt. Claike re
membered as Antonio Serian, would
translate for them in Spanish.
Up to the 2dof January just past,
everything went along all right.
The "Frank N. Thayer was scooting
along homeward in grear shape,
with fine weather to send her
along, and with all the sail she
could carry. But on the night of
that day everything changed, and
the state of things on board ship
became remarkably and unpleasant
ly lively.
At the time mentioned the ship
was 25 degrees south latitude, cut
ting through the South Atlantic
Ocean, about 700 miles southeast of
St. Helena. Capt. Clarke was
asleep in his stateroom aft. His
wife lay beside him, and his little
girl Carrie was sleeping in a cabin
just forward their own. At 10
o’clock the Captain was awakened
the voice of YVm. Davis, his
second mate, crying, “Captain
Clarke! Captain Clarke!” in tones of
agony. The Capta-n leaped from
his berth and, without stopping to
18 an dress, left his stateroom and started
up the after companion way, which
A FARMER’S FATAL MISTAKE.
SBooti in Uie Snrknan at Com and. Kills
Bis Bon.
Greenville, Feb. 24.—Mr. Gas
ton McCarter has been greatly trou
bled of late with his neighbors’ cat
tle. Sunday night last, hearing the
cattle in hia front yard, he seized
his gun and fired upon them. Im
mediately after the shot he heard a
child’s scream and discovered that
he had discharged the whole
load into the body of
his little boy. The child had gone
into the yard to drive ont the cows,
unknown to his father, who thus
accidentally killed the child. Mr.
McCarter is frantic with gtief, and
it is feared by his neighbors .that he

was just at his stateroom door.
It was warm and bright starlight.
As the Captain, who had on only
an undershirt, climbed the steep
flight of steps, he saw the figure of
a man darkening the entrance to it,
and as he reached the top he made
out by the dim light that the man
was Y. Sierra, the more intelligent
of the two Malays, and who rejoic
ed in the ability to sign his own
name. A second later a knife gleam
ed in the MaUy’s hand, and v\ ith-
out saying a word he began thrust
ing with it at the head and body of
the captain. Not a word was said.
The Malay meant murder and let
theknile talk lor him. The Captain
knew that words would be wasted,
and used his strength, which is
great, for he is apoweiful man, in
beating back the Malay wi.h his
fists.
But to tackle with bare hand
man who stands over you with a
knife is no pleasant task. The cap
tain fought desperately for his file,
warding off the knife blows with
his left hand and striking out with
the other. Gradually he was forced
down the steps, the Malay following
and stabbing him all the while. Two
cuts on top of the head left long
furrows in the skull that can still be
plainly felt Another thrust cut
almost through the nose, leaving a
long slash across the face, and anoth
er made a wound running from
above the left eye down below the
ear. This was the most vicious ot
all. In making it the knife was
thrust under the flesh along the
bone, and then turned deliberately
around by the bloodthirsty Malay.
The scar left is as broad almost as
two fingers.
Capt Clatke told his story last
evening in the corridor of the Ste
vens House, while a crowd gather
ed around him and listened with
the wildest eyes to a story of which
the mere introduction had more
blood and romance to it than the
average first class murder. For it
was only the introduction. Besides
these wounds which could be seen
there were numberless others, which
the captain said made his chest and
abdomen look like a map of the
United states, with the railrqad and
county divisions marked in red.
At last the captain was driven to
the toot of the companion way, and
the men were on a level. As the
captain stepped to the floor he slip,
ped in the pool of blood which had
flowed from his wounds, and the
Malay, seizing the opportunity,
drove his knife deep into the cap
tain’s side, below the left lung. He
apparently thought then that his
work was done, and started to turn.
As he did so the captain got a firm
footing, and shooting out his right
arm landed on the Malay’s eye. I
was a good blow, and sent the cop
per-colored head crashing against
the partition with a bang that gave
the captain much satisfaction during
the painful hours that followed.
Surprised at these signs of life, the
Malay made another stab at the
captain, mused, and scrambled back
up the companion way.
The captain went into his room
and found hit wife awaked by the
noise of the Malay’s head against
the partition’. He toiii her that there
was fighting, on deck, and that he
hail been hurt a little, and then seiz
ing his revolvers ran out agai . He
was anxious to get the companion-
way door shut and fastened >u that
he might saielv hind up hi* wounds.
From the foot ot the companion wav
he could see the man at the wh. e!
calmly steering as he had been doing
while the fight was going on. The
man was an Irishman named Ma
lone, who had said tlrat he was from
New Yoik. Capt Clarkeyelied al
him to know what he meant by not
hitting the Malay unde- the ear
when he saw him stabbing his su
perior, and then without waiting
for a reply ordered him to close the
door shutting off the after compan
ion way.
I can’t,” Malone answered, and
went on steering.
Shut that door or I’ll send a bul
let through you.”
“I can’t.” Malone replied, evi
dentlv much frightened; “there’s a
man behind it.”
It was as the captain thought; the
Malay was waiting out ot sight to
stab him again if he should have
strength to come on deck.
“Is that a Manila Indian behind
that door?” he called out to Malone.
“I don’t know,” was the answer,
“and I can’t say anything more.”
The captain raised his revolver
to carry out his threat, but before
he could shoot the wheelman jump
ed to the other side of the wheel,
where he was out of sight. The
captain went back into his state
room, got bis things together, and
went with his wife into the cabin
forward of theirs, in which their
child was sleeping. A door was
shut separating that mom from the
companionway and from the state
room in which they had been. They
were then safe from attack through
the after companion way. The cap
tain started to shut that, but as he
did so he saw a man enter and close
it aiter him, so that it could not be
opened from without. It was the
second mate, Davis, whose voice
had waked the captain. Davis
staggered to the door of his cabin,
which was on the same corridor as
the captain’s, and fell. Capt. Clarke
bent over him and found him lying
dead upon his face, with the blood
pouring from a cut in the back un
der the left shoulder.
As the captain started for the
room where his wife and child were
he heatd a commotion that he made
out to be the voice ot Ah Say, the
Chinese servant, telling how much
afraiil he was. Ah Say was locked
up in the dining room, in which he
had a berth, and positively refused
to come out. Giving up al! hope of
assistance Lom the Chinaman, the
captain returned to his wite and
prepared to bind up his bleeding
wounds. But he was soon inter
rupted. The top of his cabin pro
jected about four feet above the
deck, with a small window opening
on the deck, and a skylight above.
The window was broken in, and it
was plan that an attack was to be
made from there. The captain was
too weak, from loss of blood, to
s'and, but he was the only man on
board with fire arms, and knew as
long as he could aim nobody would
get in. His wife placed him in a
corner where he could get a good
view of what was going on, and
then, with the little girl clinging to
her skirts, went into the safest cor
ner and waited.
It was not for long. The Malay
who had stabbed the captain evi
dently had confidence in his work,
and telt sure that his victim must be
pretty nearly dead by that time.
That was a mistake, and when he
started to come in through the win
dow, feet first, he was greeted by
the bang of a revolver and a big 41
calibre bullet. The captain was too
weak to shoot very true, even tak
ing aim with both hands, so he fail
ed ta shoot the Malay in the stom
ach, as he longed to, and the bullet
went through his foot instead. This
was enough to convince the Malay
that his enemy was atill very much
alive,and he retreated.
The captain’s lung was protrud
ing nearly six inches through the
wound in his side. This he man
aged to put back, and his wife
washed and dressed all his cuts and
succeeded in stopping the flow of
blood, which must soon have caused
death.
Then came hours of exciting
siege. All the while smoking sav
agely, which the captain says saved
his life, he watched eagerly for a
chance to kill his enemies. He
would rest a half hour, and, as soon
as he Lad gathered enough strength,
rise, and begin, blazing away
through the wall of his cabin, first
to the right and then to the left, in
the hope of hitting some one by ac
cident. The Malays, who had only
their knives, showed that they were
nor idle, and, by and by, thrust long
sticks through the windows with
the knives lashed to the ends. These
thev jabbed industriously around in
all directions, trying to harpoon
somebody, but without succeeding.
The captain put himself temptingly
almost within reach, and when the
Malays jabbed at him, returned it
by shooting at them to the best of
his ability. Occasionally a copper-
colored faee would peer through the
skylight, but the quick devils always
managed to get away in time to
escape the bullets that soon gave to
the walls of the cabin a sieve-like
appearance. This went on all that
night and all the next day, which
was Sunday.
Sunday night was comparatively
quiet, and on Monday morning the
captain determined to run the risk
of opening the door that barricaded
the corridor and go to the bathroo.n
for water. They had had none for
two days, and his wound made the
thirst intolerable. He did so, and
found that the Malays themselves
desiied that he should stay be
low, and had closed the door at the
head of the companion way, fasten
ing it on the outside with ropes, so
that his own barricade was not need
ed. In the bathroom the captain
found one of his sailors, C. J. Hen
drickson, a Swedi, who had been
there since the fighting began, and
was apparently as much frightened
as the Chinaman. He was brought
into service, and stationeJ with a
big revolver at the door of the for
ward companionway, with orders
to peep through a little bullet hole
made by the captain, and shoot
whoever might come along.
Then Capt. Clarke turned his at
tention to Ah Say, the Chinese
steward, »nd finally induced him to
come out. He was armed with a
big revolver also, and stationed in
the cabin. When this was done
the Captain climbed up to the sky
light, and watched until the Malay
Augusto came in sight. He told
the Chinaman which wav to fire.
Ah Say, in fear and trembling,pull
ed the trigger, and the Malay, as
the Captain bad heped, ran to shield
himself in front of the door back of
which Hendricksen was stationed
The latter took aim and shot the
Malay in the breast. It was a big
bullet, but it did not kill right away,
The Malay fell, bnt rose again, and
throwing a big plank into the sea
jumped overboard with it.
That was what Capt. Clarke
wanted. He felt sure by this time
that the two Malays were the only
men against him, and, knowing that
there w.rsnow but one to deni with,
lit tan out on deck. He found
stream* of blood all over ir,and then
was Bonified lo see smoke begin to
pour from between decks. Siena,
the other Malay had jumped down
and set fire to the bales ot hemp
A* soon as the Captain appeared he
neard his men yelling to him from
the forecastle to let them out. He
released them, and ser.t six of them
with revolvers down after the
M:i!ay. He was soon driven ont,
and, followed by-a shower of bul-
'et*. jumped overboard into the sea,
as his companion had done
There was no time to peg awav
at him, as he swam off, because he
was sure to drown, and there were
more important things to attend t*.
Preparations were immediately
made to leave the burning ship,
which was doomed, and meanwhile
the Captain learned from his men
what had been going on while he
was barricaded below.
The trouble began when the time
came to change the watch on Satur
day night. The first mate, VVm. E.
Holmes, who had been on duty,
called Wm. Davis, the second mate,
to relieve him. They sat a mo
ment and chatted together on the
alter hatches. One of the Malays
had been on duty; the other was to
be on the watch fcllswing. Both
came from the forecastle together,
anJ came close up to the mates, say
ing at the same time:
“ We’re sick, sir.”
“ W hen they had got near enough
they drew their hands from behind
their backs, and began stabbing the
mates. Wm. Davis’s death has
been told of. He died five minutes
after. Holmes, the first mate, died
three hours later. He was liter?lly
cut to pieces.
While Siena went to the aften
companion to murder the captain,
Augusto sprang at a Dutch sailor.
Schmidt, who was on watch twen
ty feet away. Schmidt had been
looking on with eyes full of horror
Before he could recover he was seiz
ed and stabbed in his turn. All this
was witnessed by the crowd of sail
ors in the forecastlj, who seemed
paralyzed with tear and harror.
Finally, one ot them, a stout young
German, named Max Stahl, said:
“Let’s go and kill the devils,” and
seizing a stick, set the example by
rushing at Augusto, and whacking
him over the head. The others
abandoned him, and when Augusto
had stabbed him to within an inch
of his life, he had the melancholy
satisfaction of seeing that active
Malay jabbing his knife into the back
o( Jans Neilsen who was the most
tardy of the coward v flock in their
rush for the forecastle. Neilsen,
ran so fast, that he was not very
badly stabbed, but Max Stahl’s
wounds were very deep, and are
still dangerous. The men who got
into the forecastle locked them
selves, leaving the following ex
posed to the fury of the murderous
Malays: Hendricksen, who hid in
the bath room; Robert- Sandberg, a
Fin, who climbed up aloft; Malone,
the man at the wheel; Antonio
Serian, the South America,who had
been on watch forward and hid in
the carpenter’s shop; Booth, the
carpenter, a middle-aged man, who
was sleeping in his room on deck,
and Ala Lrm, the Chinese cook.
The Malays found how things
stood, and then set to work on a
systematic butchery. They went
aft, seized Malone at the wheel,
stabbed him, and tossed him over
board while still alive and yelling
The Captain heard him yell, and
guessed what was up, when he
heard the splash, but did not feel
very bad about it. Next the Malays
dragged out Booth, a quiet inoffen
sive man, nearly 50 years old,
butchered him and threw him over
board, too. The man in the rigging
was brought down, murdered, and
thrown overboard with the rest,and
finally the Spaniard who had been
the friend of the Malays and their
nterpreter was dragged from hi6
hiding place. He begged for his life
in a way .that quite disgusted the
men in the forecastle, but was stab
bed and tossed into the water quite
calmly.
When the killing was done they
devoted, their time to prodding at
the Captain in his cabin and the
men in the forecas le. The latter
were informed that every ore would
be killed the cook and the Captain’
wife to be Kept until the last. The
cook owed his life to his art. He was
ordered to cook his best and kill
chickens for the Malays e\ ery meal
He did this religiously and cheer
fully, and was spa. ed. The de.ails of
the story were learned by the Cap
tain during a six days’ voyage in an
open boat. The wounded men and
all were pu' into the boa , which
was only ti *nty-four feet long, and
arrived at St. Helena worn out, but
all alive. The wounded men are
there now in the hospital.
The Captain attributes the action
of the Malays to a desire for plun
der. They were neither drunk nnr
insane. What they expected to do
when they got control ot the ship
con'd not be guessed. The Captain
thought that they would wait to be
picked up, tell a tale of fighting and
how they had hidden till all was
over, and then get away with what
they could.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH HATTIE.
HYDROPHOBIA IX YY'ILKES.
Horrible Death From This Terrible Disease.
Washington Chronicle.
In the early part ofjanuary a dog
which was thought to be mad pass
ed Capt. D. B. Cade’s plantation
and caused some excitement at the
time by severely biting one of
Henry Murray’s boys. Henry
lives on Capt. Cade’s place, and
was greatly pleased to see that the
wound which was made by the dog
on his son’s lips healed up very
quickly. The dog passed on from
Capt. Cade’s place to the YVynn
place in Lincoln county, and bit a
fine pointer belonging to Mr. Wiley
Harrison, and also a dog belonging
to one ol the tenants on the planta
tion, Both of these were killed at
once, and all thought of danger
passed off.
On last Friday, however, Henry’s
son was attacked with very slight
convulsions, something like hard
chills, and Dr. R. I. Walton was
called in. The boy, who was about
13 years old, seemed tn havefitsand
starts, and was very nervous all the
time.
Dr. Walton found it very difficult
to administer any medicine, the
convulsions gradually growing more
violent until Sunday, when Dr.
Bell, of Elbert county, was called
in to assist.
On Sunday morning the boy told
his mother that “This is the day for
me to go mad,” and he soon became
so violent that it was thought best
to tie him to his bed. In the pres
ence of his grief-stricken father
and mother, several strong men
tied him hand and foot and secure
ly fastened him to his bed-stead.
He bit and snapped at everything
that came near him and frothed at
the mouth continually. The froth
accumulated so rapidly, that it had
to be removed by a stick with a mop
on the end of it.
The convulsions rapidly grew
more violent in the afternoon and
late in the evening the poor boy
died, after the most intense suffer
ings.

Would not be personal, but did
you ever? Excuse me, I reckon not
hardly ever. As this Is in
tended for the uniniated you
will plea*e be silent. Locked in that
blissful embrace. I.could feel great
drops of rapture exclude from
every pore! In comparison to this
the elyrian fields are inadequate,
eden’s bowers are tinkling sym-
bals and paradise in the heyday ot
its zenith, is but the merest mock
ery! This brings us to the bridge,a
few more kisses and we part. As
stood firmily locked on No. t. a
thundering footfall was heard on
the other side of the bridge. It
was none other than old man Dale,
Hattie’s father, and he too.had been
an eye witness to our oracular per
formances. He was considerably
flushed. I was calm (in a horn.J
He was larger than myself, While
the old lady at the house weighed
over 200.
“Bussin air ye? I’ll fix ye so you
wont suffer fer eny more.”
Fix us how? thought I, does the
heathern meam for us to marry?
This fact developed with wonder
ful rapidity, as he landed
in his wigwarm, and hurridly-
notified Mrs Dale in the other room
As he finished,I caught these words,
“I’ll ha\e no sich conduct and they
need no licenses.” By this time
had regained my composure and
could talk a little of the stating di
lemma. I pictured to him the wall
of poverty, which stood before me
insummountably, we were both un
der age, the marriage would be ille
gal, etc, but the machinery would
not revolve.
He led me to the stall where Sam
son the oxen was. I should be his
keeper. Beyond the stall I could
have a “backer patch,” and Hattie
could worm it for me. He was
leading me by the hand as a shep
herd leadeth his flocks. Was lie
afraid I would fall, or was he expec
ting me to escape? By this time
had submitted to everything, and
him and the old 'ady could marry
me and Hattie when we got back to
the house, when we could have gin
ger-bread end perlocust Leer for
supper. The old gentleman lead
me by the side of the still waters,
through the pasture and canebrake,
into the cavern,where loand behold
There stood his blockade distilery,
My heart was fluttering, while he
showed me the caps, the worm, the
mash tub, etc., He swore me to
secrecy, confering the degrees with
a rusty bayonet, that Stonewall
Jackson stuck in the mud at Shiloh.
I could peddle blockade liquor with
Samson to pull it, I could peddle it
in Athens and Gainesville. He
knew I would make a capital moon
shiner.
As we aproached the house, I
again fell to beseaching him that he
was too hasty. My words grew
eloquent,J pleading everything but
useryand insanity, hut still he clung
to me like a lean tick to a nigger’s
heel. Slaughtered in a civilized
country where before my maker
myself and Hattie had not spoken a
word ot matrimony, but like a sheep
at a shooting match, was ushered
onward. Determination permeated
my system,and I resolved that some
scenes would be enacted when we
reached his wigwarm.
How he gobbled out the monosyl
lables! Betsy Hamilton should seek
the acquantance of Johnathen Dale.
Arriving at the house, all was in
readines tor the nuptial knot. But
hark! a tread is heard, and suddenly
stepped into the house the form of
Charley Williford, for his evening
call on Hattie, who was intensely
embarrassed. Charley was one of
my best friends and noticed nqv
brow corrugated, cou'd easily detect
that something was in the air.
The old gentleman said he could
make a witness of Charley and was
glad he had come. Being acquainted
with the dialect of the dumb, told
Charley that I would ostensibly
have a spasm, and for him to break
the news to the old man how dan
gerous I was on such occasions. All
things in readines my feet|began to
shake, my teeth to chatter, and my
every action was like a maniac at
large. Looking to see where he
was, simulutaneously drawing my
revolver, began firing ; nto the ceil
ing. Charley ran to the door for a
blind, but was knocked out heels
over head by the old man, who
broke for the canebrake, shrieking
at every step “take him off!” I re
treated rapidly through the other
room and discovered that the old
lady had dodged into the closet for
safety, but was too large for the
door, and there she was wedged
fast, heels upward and kicking, and
as I ran from the house towards my
room, she was still yelling “mo der!”
As I ran my pistol|kept firing.; The
old gentleman must have thought
he was pursued, tor just before I
reached the bridge, I neard him fall
with a dull thud in the river above
me, but forgetting to rcscure him.
This deliverence was as sweet to
me as the Iseraelites from Egyption
bondage. Charley came into my
room presently covered with pers
piration, and convulsed with laugh
ter. He had laughed all the buttons
off his trousers, and was still yelling
like a wild Comanche. He said I
should play Macbeth and go on the
stage at once. After he had admin
istered ointmint to his bruised shoul
der, he was sworn to secrecy over a
bottle of port, and here the reader
must notice, that it increased his
chances with Hattie. After that
old man Dale’s presence in town
was likely to embarrass me. I had
only to start towards him and he
would swiftly make tracks. The
next was an introduction to my
studies that had been so cruelly neg
lected. Vowing to again woo them,
if my face went unpowdered, and
my dear mustache went untwirled.
Ah! here they come. Good morn-
ng Messrs. Algebra and Geometry.
My parallelograms drawn upon the
blackboard, had the appearance of
caricatures. My hexagons peeped
like wierd faries upon me. Aesops
babies looked like Hyeroglyphics,
and my Cassar seemed like the
handwriting ot a North Georgia
lawyer. Suff.cient unto the day is
the evil thereof, and must here con
fess as to trigenometry, I never ful
ly recovered, and am still shaky on
Book the Seventh. My vows were
to study philosophy, and turn
woman hater the remainder of my
days, yet on this mundane sphere.
Summer’s glories have passed and
the beautitul greenness is with
ered and dead. Were this all, were
there no desolation of faded hearts
and withering hopes, the decaying
scenery would bring us not one mo
ment of melancholy. The human
heart is not susceptible to natures
changes, it has no returnihg spring.
Blighted in the meridiaen of bliss
it stamps forever the mark of the
spoiler. Affection’s dews may fall,
gentle rains of sympathy may lavish,
but blighted feelings never arouse.
Novembers blast is howling, and 1
hold in my hand a tiny invitation to
Hattie’s wedding. I shall go to
night. ,'//
And before the guests, they’ll
think my soul is light And though
my heart will break to-morrow J'll
be all smiles to-night
The night was hideous, the rain
was lashing the shutters, and the
thermometer was toying with zero.
L'ho groom elect was William
Woodruff, with ignorance galore
ind without another shaddow of
recammeudntion! A dissipated sot,
the hero of an hundred orgies and
midnight carousals. It looked like
beauty and the beast. And this is
Hattie’s husband. Silently offering
my hand in congratulation, my
w.sh was articulated that her life
might pass away like sunbeams on
the dark blue sea. Good bye Hattie,
vouhzxe approached the narrows,
passed the meridian, nearing the
zenith and athwart this is the via
duct, called “the turn of life,” around
which the river winds, thence to
the sweet remotely. Hattie has
married for spite and left me strand
ed on the beech
A half decade has passed since
1S75, ten years have thundered
down the cvc!e» of time. Not a
glimpse of Hattie since the'wedding
night, wheu she swore to love
Woodruff as long as the morning
.la's sang together. But for cir
cumstances she- might have been
mine. Oh, poverty! Ho t many
r:mes are committed in your name!
Last summer I was spending a
Tew months at New Holland springs
whither the gay had resorted. One
evening, the 20th oi August, driv-
ng from the spring to Gainsville,
ind stopp edto a hut close by, for
wat'r. My “hello,” at the gate was
inswered by a smothered “yes sir.”
The voice seemed a trifle familar,
but beyond remgnitio \. A dog lay
at the gate as she bro Jgbt the water
out. The tread was familar. My eyes
could not deceive me it was Hattie
for the world! She instantly recog
nized me. and we talked of this and
that avoiding topics of interest
nearest the heart. My vanity car
ried the assuranee o f a snug little
place in her heart.: She was
excited, tremulous and pale. But
how changed was that fo'm. at
which my so ul ha-i once stood en
raptured! And beneath that inpen-
etrable gloom, she still lay enthrall
ed. The form had lost its elasticuty,
•'he eyes their lustre,the cheeks their
glow and those golden tresses their
ovlines.
“Allow me to congratulate you
on your successful voyage.”
“Oxer thorns,” she added.
What could I say to comfort her?
Here indeed was vengenee! Re-
tribute justice had dawned! Justice
like truth is eternal. Were I igno
ble enough to persue her now I
would be powerless to harm. Stop
ping beside the bed of leaves at the
gate in which lay the dog, I indeed
beheld the veritable old Carlo, that
aad been so generous to me on the
Hudson. A fi> e-year-ole was
omping the yard. Giving him
coins and candy, he told me his
name was Nathan. He resembled
Haitie but Woodruff was also con-
pic'ous. While rehearsing the
past, those soft eyes swam with
rears. My victory was complete.
\tter a long convesation.and prom-
sing to call again,she had something
to tell ire—myse'f- and Nathaniel
Green were Foth p eterable to Mr.
Woodrufl’. Nathaninel Gieen the
h >nder! Was it pos-ihle? It was
all pla'n now, t'ne little Nathinel was
named after him. Who can blame
being skeptical concerning
woman flesh?
The eflliavia arising from the dis-
lerv of Johnathen Dale had deen
wafted to the olfactories of Uncle
Sam. and the revenue officers Lad
p.ured him. Newt McDonald
had been to see him, raided the cap
and worm, and made a mash on
Samson,who was sold on the streete
of Gainsville. Calling to see Hattie
the next evening she was differently
attired, and partially the pristine
beauty returned. She promised
me she would forget the past and
yet be happy. Oftentimes I breathe
a prayer, that the storms and po-
tentious clouds may never sweep
ever her soul, In the meanwhile
Woodrrfl’ in ignara icejof Hattie’s
character may never know her

ROBERTS RELEASED.
The New York Indictment Quacked on a De
murrer.
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 26.—Private ad
vices received in Augusta state that the
indictment in New Y’ork against YV. S.
Roberts, president of the defunct Bank of
Augusta, for grand larceny, was quashed
on a demurrer. The ground upon which
the indictment was quashed is the failure
to allege that the Bethlehem iron works,
the prosecutors and parties claiming own
ership of the bonds said to have been hy-
potliicated by Roberts, is a corporation
doing business in Pennsylvania, and au
thorized to exercise ownership in the
property. They claim that this point
was argued at length by the attorneys
before Speer and Woods, but were over
ruled. It is not believed that Roberts
will ever go to New Y’ork again. The
cases in the Augusta court will now he
taken up against him.
