A NEW TRIAL.
The Woolfolk trial could have had
but one conclusion. The man was clear
ly guilty. There was never any doubt
about it from the morning th« murdered
people were found in their beds. The
srgument of his counsel was faithful and
full. but after all, th4 defense could only
be a tissue of plausible and ingenious
suggestions, skillfully avoiding the pro-
trading evidences of guilt No one saw
the crime committed, but the conduct of
Tom Woolfolk after the tragedy the blood
marks and the threats of the prisoner
against his family, were points too con
clusive to be over borne.
But as convincing as the signs were no
one can argue that Woolfolk has had a
fair trial or that he will be sent to his
fate by due process of law. Tlic has not
been a day passed since the llth of Au
gust when his life has not been in dan
ger. The people in 'the county where
the crime was committed have been stir
red up by the horror of the massacre and
their indignation has been creditable to
human nature; but with such a state of
public opinion, it is evident that Wool-
folk would have been convicted had he
been less guilty than we now believe
him to be.
The pas-ionate outbreak in the court
room; the presence of a large crowd con
fronting the prisoner and jury, and the
steady and continuous fire of the State
press before the trial opened moulded a
verdict long before the case was tried or
the evidence begun This is true not
alone of Bibb county or of the Woolfolk
trial, but of other communities where
revolting crime has been committed and
prisoners 'arraigned. Clnverius was
convicted >i Richmond and the Nihilists
sentenced in Chicago, upon evi le.ico
much less direct and definite than that
which hurried Tom Woolfolk to
his doom. The press has
too ready to present evidence ami set up
tribunal of its own, and public feeling
has done much to drive out a cool, de
liberate sifting of evidence by the jury.
We have no protest to make in the
Woolfolk case, so far as the result ac
cords with the plain drift of evidence, for
we are forced to believe him guilty, if
ever tnan was guilly:’but upon principle,
we are compelled to admit that the ends
of strict justice would be best subserv
ed, and the dignity of the courts best
upheld by granting a change of venne of
the case from Bibb county. The pro
ceedings in the court room in Wednes
day were most remarkable, and we
should not be surprised to see the su
preme court, in the face of the clear
burden of evidence, grant Tom Woolfolk
a new trial.
It will be a black day in Georgia when
passion, however biased, or indignation
however natural shall drive the juries
into their decisions.

Tho Death Penalty In Italy.
The Italian minister of justice, Sig.
Zanardclli, has just drawn up a new
criminal code from which capital punish
ment has been omitted. There is a good
deal of speculation in Italy as to whether
the legislature will finally abolish the
punishment of death. Three times within
the last twenty years the chamber of
deputies has voted for its abolition, but
in each case the senate has refused to
confirm the vote. Since King Humbert
ascended the throne there has not been
an cxocution, and it is argued tliat it is
absurd and undignified to retain in the
code a j»enalty which is never applied.
To this it is naturally objected that King
Humbert will not live forever; that suc
ceeding monarchs may be les3 tender
hearto-i, or that some serious outbreak of
crime against tho i verson might render it
necessary to make an example. It has
more than once happened that when cap
ital punishment lias been alx>lishcd it has
l>een found necessary to re-establish it.
This was tho case not long ago in several
of the Swiss cantons.—St. James’ Ga

Thu Metlakahttn Indiana.
The strange word tliat is spelled dif
ferently everywhere it is printed, and
that describes a tribe of Indians just re
moved from Canada to Alaska, is really
“Metlakahtla.” Tlie Metlakahtlans arc
a band of the Tsimsheans, or ravages of
the west coast of British America. A
missionary named William Duncan found
them in a ravage and cannibalistic state,
and not only converted them to Chris
tianity. hut taught them to work, so that
after a quarter of a century of his guid
ance they had established a village, a
church, several stores and workshops, a
trading schooner, a fire and police de
partment and many other of tlie institu
tions of civilization. They were more
than self supporting. Duncan refused
the bishopric years ago, but more recent
ly the Church of Eugland sent a bishop
to Metlakahtla, who proved a firebrand
in tlie community, lie punched one or
two natives, and went about with a gun,*
as if afraid of his life. Ue insisted upon
being called “My Lord,” and the people,
not iiking any of this, rebelled when ho
sought to preempt a part of their land
for church uses. Neither the church nor
the government took compassion on the
Indians, nml they left their village and
came under our flag in Alaska, the near
est jioint of which is only a few milea
from where they were. William Duncan
has been to New Y’ork and to Wasliing-
ton, and lias friends in both cities.—New

(.'Dickens by (ho Quarter.
Selling chickens by the quarter seems
rather small business, yet a dealer in the
Philadelphia Central market sells them in
that way. making his price for a fore
quarter of chicken fifteen cents, and for
a hindquarter ten cents. On Thanksgiv
ing day and tlie day before, his prices
were eight and five cents respectively.
It seems that this idea of making four
lots of a chicken was tliat of a charita
ble citizen, whose ’object was to give tlie
poor a chance to buy chicken, especially
when ordered by tlie doctor for chicken
broth. It is not a profitable business so
far. On tho contrary, the loss on sales
since the experiment was begun, nearly
a year ago. lias been about $300, hut the
benevolent man who makes good the
loss to the dealer is not discouraged, and
hopes to make the business jiny in th»
long run. His is practical philanthropy
of an unpretending hut useful sort -

was divided into three courts, called, iu
this case, the porch, the holy place and
the holy of lioliee. It was extremely
small, measuring only thirty-five feet in
width, while the total length was only
105 feet; so that its impressiveness de
pended on its golden walls and pillars,
floor and ceiling, its precious jewels and
the richness of the embroidered hangings
that curtained the sanctuary. And min
gled with all this gold we read of brass,
a compound that seems to have been
scarcely less esteemed in those days, when
the tin mines of Spain and Cornwall were
among tlie recent discoveries of the Phoe
nicians, and the brass made at Tyre from
the tin of Tarahish or Spain and the cop
per from Cyprus was still a fancy article,
commanding a very high price.
The cost of this golden temple was de
frayed by the moneys left by the offer
ings of the people, but heavy truces were
levied to create funds for the pulufei,
towns and fortresses that arose in such
ruinously rapid succession. No exchequer
could long endure such a drain, no nation
support so vast and sumptuous a court,
without murmuring; and although we
do not know what was the relative value
of gold and of the commodities of life,
the stress laid upon tho fact that all the
veaael* in the princes were of gold points
to the ooocluakm that this provision was
as sumptuous in those days as it v mold be
in our own.—Magazine of Art.

bad taste, especially in the
morning. A^ortof sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
S ite is poor. There is a
g like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone seusation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eves are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl
ing sensation in- the head when
rising wo suddenly. The bow

spitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of tin-
heart; the vision becomes im
paired, with spots before the
iyes; there is a feeling of gro.q’
prostration and weakness. A1 •
of these symptoms are in turn
present. It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms.
It has been found that phy
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it; for a liver complaint,
others for kidney 'disease, etc.,
etc., but none of these kinds o)
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is realh
constipation and dyspepsia. I:
is also fouud that Shaker Ex
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
'el’s Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
his disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.

Wood Stews la Northern Siberia.
Wu bave nll had our sympathies arousi d
by statements that the' natives ot north
ern Siberia are often during famines
compelled to resort to wood for food.
Now, tho fact is that, careless observers
have simply been imposed upon or they
have jumped at conclusions without car

lies, and because they thought that a j
statement of these views would make a ■
heartrending page for their booki;, -.nd by J
inference show what a distressing time I
they themselves must liavo had among !
sucli surroundings. Wood iu a certain
form is a most com iron and constant
article of diet on the Lena river, nil along
tlie north coast and in the immediate
neighborhood of Y’akutsk—in fact, wher
ever the Y’akut resides. North of Yer- i
(hoyansk, except in a few sheltered val- |
leys, it may bo raid there is no other ; , _ _ .

shrewdly use it to excite pity and to ob
tain a gift of tea and tobacco. They
scrape olf tho thick layers immediately
under the hark of a log, and chopping it
fine, mix it with snow. It is then boiled
in a kettle. Sometimes a little fish roe is
mixed with it, and farther south cow’s
milk or butter. I have often seen it eaten
without anything additional, though, as
in the present instgjice, there was ap
parently enough other food on band.—

THE LEADER.
ipelwtloh 4t China.
It has been the custouf of late to disbe
lieve in the ancient estimates of tho popu
lation of Cliiua; but Tho North China
Herald, a well informed journal, pub
lishes statistics which strongly support
them. It appears that the authorities at
Pekin have recently taken a census for
taxing purjioses, and tliat the village
builiffs, whose business it is to understate
the figures, return the population at 819,-
383,500. Five provinces are omitted, and
their population, as recorded in the last
census,brings the total up to 362,000,0110.
Even this figure is independent of the
population of Thibet, Kashgar, Hi and
Corea; and the total number of souls
ruled by tin- emperor of China, therefore,
exceeds 400,000,000, and still displays a
tendency to increase.
As the |Hipulation of India exceeds
250.000,000, tlie Indians and Chinese to
gether constitute more than half the en
tire human race, a fact worth tlie atten- I
tion of those philosophers who study [
London and Paris, and then announce
that “mail Micros” this and that, i
There are many races of men, hut some j
of the foremost among them, e. g.. the i
French and the Arabs, scarcely increase i
at all, while a few, e. g., tho Ottomans,
slightly decline. If tho process now go- !
ing on continues for another century, the
world will belong ill the main to four
races, or rather peoples—the Teutons,
most of whom will speak English; the
Slavs, the Chinese, anff the natives of
India. It is quito possible, however,
that they may quarrel, and tliat their
march toward the mastery of the planet,
which else will belong to them like a
cheese to mites, may lie seriously checked.

How the Mage Pot*.
Even in the lowest ranks of stage work
the pay is sufficient to live op comfortably
and allow a margin for dren and saving.
A chorus singer will esm $15 a week,
where a governess will earn barely $4
and a shop girl $6 or $8. On the stage
a girl or young woman has tbs btpe of
getting or making a fortune; and, above
all, she finds herself among people who
are willing to receive her with open arms
if she is pleasant. Here are no restrictions
of purse or cast All are brothers and
sisters, and it lies with her and her alone
whether her new family shall respect and
look up to her or pass her down sadly to
those poor silly ones who have misted the
nobility of thrir aim and sacrificed allfur
a short life of foolish merriment. No
wonder that poor gtris of the better
rinsers go on tbe.stage. when they see
how much is to be dons there, and then
regard dispassionately the few other
modes of earning a livelihood.—Actress in

DI«covery of an Old Nor.«*e War Ship.
No object bo thoroughly fascinated n»e
in a visit to Norway and Sweden during
the bummer of 1882 as the splendid ex
ample of ancient shipping discovered
shortly ltefore at Gokstad, on one of tlie
jieninsulas of southern Norway. The
length from stem to stern over all is
78 feet, the keel alone measuring GG feet.
Tlie breadth of beam is 10 1-2 feet, anti
the depth, about 4 feet. Oak al« >ne was
used in the construction, the body lx ing
unpainted, while the stem and stern jiMs
‘ “ re laid
ur lap-
streak style, each overlapping the one
below it, and were fastened together with
iron bolts riveted ami clinched upon the
inside—“clinker built,” as we now call
Tlie planking was lashed to the
frames by means of projections, with
wicker like cords or withes, made from
tlie roots of trees; and the seams were
calked with hair of cattle spun into a
cord of three strands, and this was not
driven into tlie crevices, but laid in when
tlio planking was put together.
From this method of construction, as
well as from the character of the relics
founii and the use of tho vessel as a
means of sepulture, Mr. Nicolnysen infers
that it was built during the later iron
age, or between A. D. 700 and 1000.—

Food of tho Canary Inland*.
A writer says that one of the first
things to attract his notice in the Canary
Islands was the healthful appearance and
fine development of the common people.
There is no doubt tliat they are by birth
a superior race, but it is also true that
they use a food which, being highly nu
tritious, must contribute to their physical
development.
There is nothing mysterious about this
article, which is known as gofio. It is
simply the flour made from any of tf.o
cereals by parching or roasting before
grinding. One can scarcely pass through
any village of the Canaries without wit
nessing some step in the preparation of
this food. Tho grain is first picked over,
then roasted above a charcoal fire, and
afterward ground at the windmills
which abound everywhere. When it is
to be eaten milk, soup or any other fluid
is mixed with it, without further cook
ing. Nothing can be more “bandy’1 than
such an article of food.
The Canarian laborer, if he goes forth
to his work alone, takes with him some
gofio in a bag made from tlie stomach of
a kid; if there are several persons the
skin of a kid is used. When meal time
lias arrived a little water is poured into
tho bag with the gofio, the mixture is
well shaken, and tlie meal is prepared
without further ado.—Popular Science
Monthly.
A Royal Coverage.
The royal table beverage in Annam is
a particular brew made from the ]>oppy
seeds and aromatic plants, but Dong
Kliang never touches the traditional con
coction, finding a bottle of old Bordeaux
quite good enough for him.—New York
Sun.
