THURSDAY, APRIL 14. 1887. MR. JONES’ FAREWELL. HIS LAST SERMON IN CIN CINNATI. Three Tliousauil People Listen to a Spleilil Dincoiirse. A Word For Sam Small, and Prayer* For Hi* Preservation. Cincinnati Enquirer, 6th.] Three thousand people listened to the closing sermon of Sam Jones s*t Music Hall last night. Nearly the entire audi torium was filled as well as the balcony. Several hundred occupied seats on the stage. Camp Meeting John, the well known reyivalist, sang a selection, as did Mr Excell, Sam Jones’ vocalist. Dr. Joyce stated that the collection taken up would be given to Sam Jones. He said that Jones is SPENDING MORE MONEY In charity than any man in the coun try. He is supporting four young men at college in Georgia, and is always help ing poor people. He told how the evan gelist gave money yesterday to a fellow whose only excuse was that he was dead broke. A |2O gold piece was slipped into Dr. Joyce’s hand to start the collection. He said lie hoped to raise |3OO. Sam Jones was not present when all the pleasant things were being said about him. Mr. Exce 1 sung “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” the congregation joining with him. The evangelist said before he began to speak that lie would ask Brother Excell to sing “Keep in the middie of the road,” which he did with great effect, the large audi ence applauded so vigorously that he was compelled to respond to an encore. He sang the “Model Church.” Sam Jones said: “This is an hour of sadness for me, and lam glad, too, to see such an audi ence on a week night. 1 take it as an eu deavor to honor Christianity. I am goiLg to take as my text Tie that is horn of God can not commit sin, etc.' If we get RIGHTLY UPON THIS TEXT To-night we will receive light from God. If l were to say at this point that an hon est man can not steal, a truthful man can not lie or a chaste man he vulgar, you will all agree with me, hut when I say a Christian man can not commit sin you may take issue with me. I don't intend to talk about santification here to-night because I would shoot ahoye my nnuk. There can’t be a second blessing until we get a first, and mauy of us haven’t got that yet. Every Christian is the child cf a king. There is a great deal in good blood. I don’t mean blue blood, hut I have noticed that the hoy who is proud of his father the daddy is ashamed of him It’s worth a thousand fortunes to any young man to he of good family. It was an omnipotent leverage on humanity. O, boys, when you fall into had practices re member a pure mother and noble father, and say you will never do anything to bring shame upon them. You step out before the word and say: ‘I am the son of the Lord God Almighty!” They’ll say, we expect something of you. You must act like a prince, go where a prince ought to go, and stay awtty from where a prince ought not to go. Thank God, the world knows the difference between a gentleman and a vagabond. If you were to go dowu to a saloon and get as drunk as a boiled owl nobody would take any notice of it; but if I were to get drunk it would be TELEGRAPHED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. That’s the difference between a vagabond and a gentleman. One of the crowned heads of the East turned his son over to a tutor. He wasn’t a very obedient hoy, and the teacher put a badge on him as an insignia of his princely character. When ever the hoy was bad the badge was re moved, and the boy learned to maintain the dignity and honor of his position. Sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty there's something ennobling and elevating in this. We shall be like the Lord Jesus Christ, for we shall see him as He is. The second thought is the purity of the Chris tian church. “If the physical phases of this city were as had as the moral phases the people would die by the thousands every week. If I didn’t keep any better company than some of you keep 1 wouldn’t be any better than you are, and I wouldn’t be as low down as you are for the world. You are just about as pure as you want to be. About four years ago I overhauled my self and found I had quit everything I wanted to quit, but other things I ought to quit I was still doing. That fellow in the Church of God also loves whisky. He loves it better than anything else in the world. He smacks his lips as a mark of the deyil’s approval. When I smell whisky on a fellow who is a professing Christian I put him down as a hypocrite, a hypocrite. I didn’t care a cent who was elected mayor of this city yesterday. I only wanted him to COME IN SCARED, And I think he did. I hope that he was so scared that he will make the best mayor in America, and say like Mayor Hewitt, of New York, ‘lf 1 can’t enforce the law I will resign.’ Hally as good citizens and have the law enforced. It's not men I f.m fighting for, hut privileges. Every officer who is sworn to enforce the law and doesn’t do it is a pusilanimous, perjured puppy. May God drive out these slums of sin so that our boys may be delivered from vice and the girls from miserable drunken husbands. Throw your money down awlnle and look after the morals of your children. But some of you are not going to do it. I’m just wast ing my time talking to you. All I ask of the devil is to let us alone who are trying to do right. I don't believe the church will be what it ought to be until Chris tians o>k upon sin with an absolute ab horrence. It doesn’t take much whole cloth to make a lie. It runs like a box car down hi 1, but if you want the truth to go, you have to hitch an engine to it to pull it. The devil often goes where he ain’t invited, but he doesn’t stay where be ain’t welcome, so if he PUTS UP WITH SOME OF TOU Old fellows it’s because you treat him pretty well. Go where God can bank on you, you big, loud-mouthed Methodist, who sings and shouts: ‘Surely the Captain may depend on me.’ Depend on you for what? As the little boy says, you will cut and shoot —cut and run home and shoot under the bed. You ought to get so busy serving God that you won't have a minute to run after the devil. Some of you women say there’s no harm in playing cards. I declare I think I won t talk on that subject any more. It’s an idiot's game. The superintendent of an asylum down my way said he always got them for his patieuls, because, he said, they amused people without any sense. Get a pack and go out to the lunatic asylum.” Mr. Jones was remarkably bright and humorous in his address. He closed with an appeal to every one to seek salva ion. He asked all those who desired to do right,to stand up and nearly every one in the hall arose. The evangelist spoke about his love and regard for Cincinnati and bade all AN AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL. Asking the prayers of all Christian people to help him in his work. He retered to the orphan asylum in Georgia which he is supporting, and said any donations would he thankfully received. Dr. Joyce said a few words about the illness of Sam Small, and when he asked the audience how many would pray for the sufferer, every hand in the house was raised. Camp-meeting John sang “I’m the Child i 4':i King” most* impressively, and after another song by Mr. Excell and the ben ediction the assemblage disappeared, many tarrvine to bid Sam Jone3 good bye and give him a small donation for his orphan asylum. The evangelist will leave for Atlanta to-night where he will spend sometime at the bedside of his sick comrade and friend. Sam Small. ELI PERKINS. ilie Humorist Extends the Freedom of New York City to Our ‘‘Bill Arp.” Maj. C. H. Smith, (“Bill Arp”), will lec ture iu New York next month, and Eli Perkins has, in a letter received Saturday, extended to him the ireedom of New York city. His letter was kind, and wks much appreciated by our home humorist. Sent along with the letter were two of Eli’s “Season Tickets,” and we cannot refrain from publishing a description of one of them: Season Ticket. ELI PERKINS AT LARGE. Admit theßearef or Wife, his own Wife,to Eli Perkins’ Lecture, anywhere in the world, for years and years. The Lecture will commence at 8 o’clock, sharp, and continue till somebody" requests him to stop. * In case of an accident to the lecti rer, or if he should die or he hung before the evening of the disturbance, tuis ticket will admit the hearer to a front seat at the funeral, where he can sit and enjoy him self the same as at the lecture. The highest priced seats, those nearest the door, are reserved for the particular friends of the speaker. On the reverse side were the following “Opinions of the Press” : OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Mr. Perkins refers with pride to the fol lowing high testimonials: When Eli Perkins delivered his lecture in the Illinois House of Reprehensibles, there was a great rush—hundreds of peo ple left the building, and ttiev said if he had repeated it the next night they would liAve left the city—Chicago Times. The New r York Tribune pays and punctuates the following high tribute to distinguished orator: George Peek an intemper ite editor from Milwaukee fell over the gallery la3t night while Eli Perkins was humorously lectur ing in a beastly state of intoxication. Mr. Beecher, an author quite known in Brooklyn, thus writes to the London Times in regard to Mr. Perkins’ e'oquence: Word cannot describe the imnressive sight. clow sublime! to see Mr. Perkins standing perfectly erect, with one hand on his broad, massive, thick skull, talking to the educated classes —to see the great ora tor declaiming perfectly unmoved, while streams of people got up and went out! How grand a spectacle, as joke after joke fell from the eloquent lips of this -Cicero of orators, to watch the enthusiastic crowds arising majestically as one man and waving tlieir hands as they clamor ously demanded their —money back at the box office. 3ays the genial editor of the Congres sional Globe: We never, hut once, experienced more real genuine pleasure than when this elo quent man (Mr. Perkins) closed his re marks That occasion was when we won the affections of a beautiful young lady, and gained a mother in-law —and then saw that mother-in law sw’eetly and se senely pass away. P.S.—Eli Perkins distributes a six dollar Chromo to all who remain to the end of the lecture. Parties of six who sit the lecture out will be given a House and Lot. THE CENTRAL’S OPPONENT. The Savannah, Dublin and Western railroad is the water terminus of a line which is springing up as the opponent of the Central of Georgia. The line will be built and you can depend on it, though the exact route has not as yet been lo cated. The construction of the Savan nah, Dublin and Western is under way, but the route for further projection of the line from Dublin has not been defi nitely decided. It will either go to Amer icus or to Macon, most probably to the latter. From Macon the route will prob ably be to Griffin, under an old charter obtained for the Atlanta Air Line, a direct route to Griffin, which charter was se cured long ago and which it is now pro posed to revive. From Griffin, the Grif fin, LaGrange and Birmingham railroad route will be used, and the Rome and Carollton and the proposed line up from Rome to Chattanooga may also be con solidated with the new line. It is also thought that from Dublin an extension will be made to Augusta, direct through Laurens, Johnson, Jefferson and Rich mond, probably touching Burke and Washington counties. Now that the Goodwater extension will give the Geor gia Central connection with Birmingham, this new' line, also running out from the booming town and touching on territory now covered by the Central.it maybe put down as a formidable competitor of the Centra! wdien built.—Augusta Chron icle. The unveiling of the statue of Albert Sydney Johnson, in New Orleans last week, was witnessed by over 10,000 peo pie. Federal and Confederate soldiers | and Generals were present and partici pated. Ex-President Jeff Davis made a j touching and patriotic address. President I Cleveland, who had been invited, sent a telegram regretting his inability to be present, and concluded by saying: “That General Johnston was a great soldier, and that from the time he left West Point to j the hour of bis death on the field of Shiloh, he was conspicuous for valor, for military celebrity and for the highest per sonal character must be fully conceded by all his countrymen The erection of ! a monument for the perpetu ition of his name is fitting testimony to the affection and respect in which he is held by his comrades of the civi> war, and may well be to them a work of the greatest interest ! and satisfaction. The patriotic senti ments accompanying the invitation which I I have received, and the fraternal feeling therein expressed, I glac’ly recognize as proofs that in the present condition* every American citizen may share in the pride inspired by the illustration of traits which have ennobled American character. M itb my best wishes for the success and pros perity of your society, I am yours, sin cerely, Gbovkh Cleveland.” Everything which belongs to pure, healthy blood is imparted by Hood’* ; Sarsaparilla.

A Bat tow Young Laity Gives Her Experi ence in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla. Editors Courant American : Once more I greet rrm, but from a distant laud. For in January I very quietly wended my way (not alone) to the laud—the far-famed laud of dowers and balmy breezes. Well, 1 landed in Jacksonville, —and let me say right bore, Jacksonville is a thriving, lovely, and attractive city, and remarkably neat. There is a great deal of paint aud white wash used; uew buildings are goiug up all the time. The hotels are tilled with tourists and visitors from all portions of the globe. Jacksonville is an up-and down cosmopolital city. There are peo ple living here of all nations. Jews, Gentiles, Yankees, Southerners, North euers, Italians, Chinese, Spaniards, Ger maus, Dutchmen, Irishmen, Creole and every nation one can think of. I have ouly c.ilied them over disconnectedly. There is a very large quantity nnd qual ity of negroes here, they range from the real genuine, humble darkey to the bigoted mulattos. They have schools and colleges here, and not long since they hail a state fair, which was quite a success, they said, aud was largely at tended by whites as well as blacks. Bay street, the principle street of the city, has quite a number of line business houses on it. All through the week it is so crowded that one can hardly elbow their way through the sea of people. There is quite an excitonieut going on iu the oity now, the author of it is a per son by the glorious(?) name of “Yellow stone Kit.” He sells medicines, pads, Ac.; makes the blind see (they say), the lame walk, and thiow their crutches away from under them. He is certainly a wonder this facinating money-makiug “Kit.” He is of ordinary height, dresses gorgeously in yellow plush and gold buttons, and strings of diamonds ( real or paste) mound his neck, and heavy knee boots, wears his hair in long linglets dowu his shoulders. He is worth, they say, a round three millions—by the way he throws money aud presents around iu the crowds, I should tliiuk the tale true. As I write I hear the band playing down at his stand. I must tell you up, my old 13 irtew fiieuds, about my trip to St. Augustine on Saturday. It beiug Talai Sunday we atteuded service at the old cathedral. It is the oldest cathedral iu ttie United Statas. There is a large painting if the first mass he'd in this country, which is 350 years old. Well, yesterday was Palm Sunday. Ti e cathedra', you know, always commerate Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, when lhe peoplo met him and threw palms in his path aud cried “Hosannas, blessed is He that cotneth in the name of the Lord.” All the Catholics bore palms in their hands. All the hymns were chanted iu Latiu—writ ten by old, old composers. The church was ancient looking, inside and out. After we left the cburfch we went out itr the park, which was formerly the old slave market. Tt is laid out in smooth grassy plots aud broad white walks. There are several monuments on the grounds—l believe one to the memory of the Confederate dead, —and as we rode them over, my companion and I, we noticed at the bottom of one side the names, James Walton aud Frank Weems. I started, as those names were familiar, for there is a Frank Weems in Bartow, and I wondered if they could have been related. After we bad stalled around the park awhile we went to a hotel aud registered, ate a hearty good meal, rested, and slowly and lazily we weuded our way down Treasury street to Port Marion. We passed houses covered with creamy roses, aud one I admired so much, we stopped to purchase it, but the haudsome, graceful Spaniard lad pul ed it aud handed it to us with a pleasant smile, anil we wandered on to the fort. As we ascended the slope we saw, far out beyond the bar, the whit waves leaping aud gleaming iu the suu shine. There were vessels with their white sails outlined against the soft blue sky. Oh! the sight was a grand one for a country girl. We went on up to the fort and saw the Indians they kept guarded there. They wereieated ar mud. iu clumps —some talking to each other, some playing like children—all seemed happy aud contented. The mothers had their little papoooes straped round their neck. We lingered, looking at the fort and at the Indians—and ever aud anon at the far off’ bine sea—aud then we sauntered dowu the slope aud passed through the old gate, and we strolled on through quiet groves, shady laues aud grassy p’aius feasting our eyes ou sights and scenes iu the oldest city iu the United States. We walked over aud looked at the new hotel, the “Leon,” and that is to cost two or three millions —I forget. It is built somewhat on ike style of the Alhambra and covers quite a piece of land. It is immense, and will be perfectly grand and beautiful when com pleted. There is also another splendid building in coarse of erection—a .M etho dist church. We walked all arouud, yet we did not take in the whole city, for we had to leave on the evening train. We passed beautiful orange groves and flower gardeus—grand old Spanish houses covered with ivy and white roses. If you want to feel like you are in another part of the world go to St. Augustine, it is the model Southern city as regards sceneiy and antiquity, but it is kiud o’ sleepy and dull as re gards business. We were rapidly car ried back to Jacksonville on the evening train, aud crossed over the St. John's on the ferry boat aud lauded in the city, aud came'home to dream of St. Augustine—the blue sea—the grand cathedral—the lovely bowers and moss laden trees, and orange groves, for days to come. 1 am afraid I have tired you all, but you see when I get to thinking of what I have seen since I came to Florida my heart goes straight hack to Georgia, and 1 I want to tell you all about it. With good wishes for all the readers of the Cotrast-American, I will hid you all adieu, and sign myself J.tTvY Dale.

Macon Telegraph,] One of the most interesting romances recently brought to light by the newspa pers is that of William Kissane, now a wealthy Californian, whose name is to day in every newspaper in the land. Kissane, a young Irishman, wis in business in Cincinnati in 1849 as clerk tor a large dealer in pork and lard. He is de scribed as having been at that time “an exceedingly bright young fellow, and a natural, business man.” At the time when he first came into public notice he was but twenty years of age. Eager to get rich and ready for ventures of almost any kind that promised well, he joined certain parties in that city in a scheme for transporting a great cargo of provis ions to New York, and in furtherance of it they purchased or chartered the steam er Martha Washington, and embarking their goods upon her, began the long journey. Kissane remained ia Cincinnati, lie found prior to the sailing of the steamer that he must bear his proportion of the insurance, and in order to do this he committed forgery on the Chemical Rink of New York. Perhaps he was impelled to this desperate resort by the knowledge he had gained of the charac ter of men with whom he was engaged. Perhaps he had knowledge in advance of what was to happen. The result of the Martha Washington venture was that the steamer was burned with her cargo. Some loss of life occurred and the cir cumstances were such that the insurance money was refused and the parties most interested became fugitives. They were tried for burning the boat, finally and acquitted. Kissane’s notes, which he expected to pay from his profits, were not met and the forgery was discove ed. His connection with the business venture as a partner in the Martha Washington, his own crime of forgery and his appa rent connection with the diabolical crime of arson, although he wa9 faraway from the scene, crushed him in the twinkling of an eye. He was arrested and tried for forgery and was about to be sentenced when he made a plea so touching, so elo quent and so evidently earnest that it secured him a light sentence from the judge, arrested public attention and final ly brought about a movement which re sulted in his pardon. This remarkable plea closed thus : “And yet, sir, it was my own fault. Endowed with all the feelings and senses of manhood, I should have know to have been breathed upon by them (the associ ates) was death; that the very atmosphere, that surrounded them'waa as po'sonous as that which surrounded the upas tree. I should have as indignantly spurned them from me as you would, sir, the most loath some reptile that crawls upon the face of the earth. Had I paused, hid T pondered, I hai not been here. I most hare been in a dream, a sort of spell, when I permit ted the ignis fatuns to lead me to destruc tion, and though I stand here charged with, and convic ed of crime, yet my heart tells me, and I feel it and know it to be true, that I have no sympathy with it, that I haye no feeling or emotion in com mon with its perpetrators. Ilad I paused, had 1 pondered, you, sir, would have been spared the disagreeable duty which de vovles upon you this day, and I can fancy no duty that is more irksome to an en lightened and humane judge than that of consigning a f>-llßw creature to a living tomb. But the edicts of the law must be fulfilled. The consequences must fall on those who come antagonistic to it, and cheerfully, gladly, yes joyful y, would I go hence to wherever it may please you to consign me, did I feel that 1 might yet live to return regenerated, untarnished; that I couid once more take that proud station among family and friends that I once held.” “But alas, sir, this cauuot be, and the overwhelming consciousness of it in flicts more misery aud wretchedness upon me than the law can iuflict. There is no escape from oue’s feelings, except through the portals of the grave. I could escape from the la lroad cars at the risk of my life, as has been given in testimony, aud I c mid lay out in the woods night after night with no cover ing except the canopy of heaven; hut there was one ever watchful companion which I could uot avoid—it was the constant prompting of the heart—‘What have you been, what infamy aud disgrace have you emailed upon yourself? I could hear it ill the leaves that mstled over my head. I could hear it in every sound that w T as borne upou the breeze. The whole world may forgive me but I cauuot forgive myself. I had hoped, sit , to reach some distant couutry, where those who had known me could know me no more—where I could have set tled down among strangers, aud once more have beeu a mau among men. The ever-present memory of the past would have beeu a bright light to guide me in the path of rectitude iu all the future, and would have illuminated th rock upon which I was cast away, aud I am here; but w r ere I permitted to de part this day, aud whenever it shall please the powers that be to permit me to depart, such shall he my course—l trust a wiser aud a better man.” The Judge stated in passing sentence that it was made light by the plea Pardoned aud .discharged from Sing Sing, Ivissace disappeared from the public gaze until a few days since. This disappearance was thirty-one years ago. Siuce that time William Kissane has been dead so far as the world is concern ed. But with Walker w’hen he went out on his famous filibustering expedition, went a young man uuder the name of William K. Rogers, who distinguished himself hv gallant couduct and who escaped with the lucky few. Rogers went to work as a porter in Sui Fran cisco, rose to be a clerk, became a miner, struck a paying lead mine and having “made bi3 pile ' purchased a tine astate aud settled down with wife aud o'lildreu to pass the balance of his life peacefully, This was Kissane; the plea he had made in court and the clemency of the Judge seemed to have been justified. “Be sure your crime will find you out ” This iiue must have ruug iu the unfortunate man’s memory many a time iu all these years, for scarce had he begun to enjoy his wealth when, his secret half guessed, he became the prey of blackmailers. To-day the whole story is out. One of the most promi nent aud respected umu in California, a large circle of friends and relatives are crushed; shame rules where honor has beta. But one of the most singular features of the whole case is that Kissane’s brother abandoning the family name and concealing bis relationship followed him to California aud is to-day one of her leading men. But few people know this last secret and to-day all the state is guessing at it. Taken in its entirety the case is one of the most remarkable known to journalism aud furnishes the novelist with a line plot. Aud it has its i moral. How apt, here, seem the words of a celebrated preacher: “Yeung men he ware of weak spots iu character, out of which may flow all that is pure in morals, upright iu life and honorable in business. The end thereof is misery, ruin and despair.’’ ADY ERTISE3IENTS.

PULLMAN, THE PALACE CAR MAN. How He Made Hi* Money— Drains ami Energy, 'Sol Luck* From the Savannah News.] The newspapers are making a goed deal of fun of George M, Pullman, whom it is said the King of Italy his knighted. Pullman is a very rich mar, but there is no evidence that he has the foolish desire for show which many other rich men iu this country have. He earned his money honestly, and the city of Pullman is proof that lie uses it wisely. The story of how Pullmau laid the fouudatiou of his fortune is interesting. Early in the (10’s the level of Chicago was raised, so that the principal business streets were half a dozen feet above the basement windows of the stores. The owners of the stores hud but little trouble in raisnig those built of wood, Pullman, who was thou a house raiser, contracted to raise a brick drug store. It was not believed that he could do it successfully, but he employed a force of bauds, borrowed all the jack-screws iu the city, and went to work. When everything was in readiness a great crowd collected, expecting to see the store full instead of rise. Just at dark Pullman gave the word, and the bauds gave a few turns to the screws. Then he dismissed the hands until next day. Early in the morning the crowd again collected and much amazement was ex pressed when it was found that the store was two or three inches above t he ground. The tension of the timbers had worked the entire structure clear duriug the night. Iu Ihe course of a few days Pullman had completed his work, with out having jarred a single drug bottle out of place. For some time he had all he could do raisiug buildings, among them being the Tremout House, which is large enough to hold 500 poople. About the time there were no more buildings to be raised a keen Yankee ol tuiued permission from the Michigan S mthern railroad to go through its night cars with a head-rest, which lie offered for 50e. to screw on the back of seats. Pullman saw the contrivance, determined at once that it was a good thing, and sought the Yankee and bought his patent. Soon after lie got an old car and beg iu to experiment, with the head-rest. The result was the Pullmau palace sleeping car; and to-day the Pullmau Palace Car Company’s #20,000,000 of stock is selling above 150, and the surplus iu the company’s treas ury is over #10,000,000. It was brain and energy, not luck, that made Pullman a rich min, and the young meu of the country would do Well to profit by his examp e. SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS WO I T I OK IRON.

Said JohnS. Clark, of Boston in an address before the Franklin In stitute, of Philadelphia, in 1881; “I hold in my hand a piece of steel. Its value is, perhaps, five cents, and yet it may bes lid to represent hardly more than so much raw material. Iu this hand I bold another pieco of similar quality, but less qnanity, and yet this latter has a value of #2O. What makes this difference iu value? Simply this: That humau thought has beeu playing, as it were, about this latter piece of steel, and has made it the basis upon which it has concreted itself so that we have an instrument of great practical use—a micrometer caliper—maimy the product of thought as expressed by skilled labor.—Bethleham, Pa., Times, Let Our Hopes Spring Like May Flowers* Now Spring gives us renow’ed hopes for the future—so as it has beeu, so it wifi be—let us learn by experience.

A mechanical expert given to curious investigation estimates that the tooting of a locomotive on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in an ordi nary clay’s run, involves a waste of steam requiring the consumption of 280 pounds of coal to renew. He estimates the whistling expenses of that particular railway at $15,000 per year. The father of young Johnnie Goode, who was so ruthlessly murdered by a gang of negro thieves in York county, S. c., in November last, five of whom were lynched in Yorkville Saturday morning, is now a raving maniac in the Columbia Asylum. He is not aware of the lynching of the negroes Ilis wife’s mind is also unbalanced by the terrible calamity of their little son. Is it any wonder that Judge Lynch should act promptly in this case, when it is remem bered how slow and uncertain is the process of the law ? The sauce age followed very shortly after the spare rib was introduced. Poor Adam! —Washington Critic.
