Husband. Nothing.

Husband. Why of course not?
Wife. Oh, well, there is never any

Husband. I was thinking of some

Maj. Baxter and his family sat out on

when the Major got up and went into
his room he had not noticed that his
prankish little son had slipjted away.
Just as the Major stepped into his room
he heard something under the bed—in
fact, saw something—and, thinking that
a robber had secreted himself there, he
seized a pistol and fired under the bed
and —
Wife. Merciful heavens, and shot his

Husband. Who said he shot his son?
Wife. You said that his son went un

LOCK-JAW CURED.
Remarkable Surgical Operation by Clii
cagu I'liyklelaiiH.
UlileiiKo Special ]
On July tith there was performed on
♦ lie person ot John Kelleher, in this city,
anew o|teration for lock-jaw, or tetanus,
lately discovered in Germany, and then
for the first’ time attempted here, with
entire success. The operation consisted
of stretching the greater sciatic and an
terior crural nerves with great tension.
This was done to cut off the nerve cur
rent from the seat of the wound in the
foot, caused by stepping on a nail, with
the spinal cord. The case created great
interest, and w ins watched from day to
day, and many were the inquiries us to
the ultimate result. The result is in di
rect opposition to the theory of pen
bacillus. This theory holds tlmt bacillus
increases in blood-producing irritation of
motor centers. If this theory were cor
rect stretching of the nerves would have
no effect. On the other hand, it sup
ports the theory that tetanus is due to
local irritation transmitted along nerves
to a motor center. The effect of stretch
ing nerves was to reduce the conductive
] lowers ot the nerves, thus preventing
furl,l e • impressions being conveyed from
the sear in left foot to motor centers.
The moment Kelleher left the operating
table there was instantaneous cessation
of tetanic spasms. Five days after the
ojieration the soreness at ‘the bast* of the
tongue had sabsided. On the seventh
day there was a complete union of the
wounds without a particle of pus. At
the end of ten days he could ojien his
mouth completely, and the deglutition
was no longer painful, and for the past
four days the patient has been up and
about eating and relishing the coarsest
food.

RANDALL AND THE TARIFF.
He Uemauds Revenue Reduction, with
Protection to Atuericun Labor.
KandalU’s letter to Ht, Louis Reput.lican. Den]
Paoli, July 11, 1887.
I am in receipt of your letter, and, of
explained in a previous interview when
you called iqion me, I understand your
object to lie to ask an expression of my
opinion aa to the probability of legisla
tion thin winter to reduce taxation
Your chief objoet, you state, is to devel
op the possibility of uniting the demo
crate of the house upon a measure hav
ing uu unmistakable party atatnp. loti
then Mubjoin suggestions which .you state
have already been submitted to the dem
ocratic members of the fiftieth congress
in similar letters of inquiry. Yon inquire:
“1. Is there a practicable basis ofcom
promlse through which the democrats of
the house can unite?”
COM PROMISE I* RACTIC'A RLE.
There is such a basis, and has been all
uloug, which might have been adopted
for the creation of a fair and just system
of revision of our present turiff and in
ternal revenue tvxation. But nothing
cau be done in the future, as nothing was
done in the past, if the house is organ
ized as heretofore, deli tier atel v, it would
seem, on the t heory that the dictum of a
few so-called leaders —not without the
suspicion of representing other interests
—must lie taken without question and
accepted in every point and as an alter
native, if it be rejected, that then noth
ing shall be permitted to be done. There
must be a disposition shown to act fairly
nil around, and that disposition can
never exist when we are told by one ot
these self-constituted leaders; ‘Let us take
off one-lift li now. If that docs not re
dace the revenue we can take off more.
Some time we will cut to the quick and
draw blood. If 20 per cent, will not re
duce the revenue, ]x*rlmps 50 will.' Ido
not entertain any feelings ot vengeance
against the producers of this country be
cause they are enjoying a season of gen
eral pros|s*rity. I prefer their welfare to
their distress, their success to their ruin.
WAR TAXES SHOULD BE REPEALED.
The revenue is too great and a reduc
tion of the current surplus is necessary.
Some think this is so to an extent about
equal to the amount collected under our
internal revenue law. But that amount
is too much, it would compel a closer ap
proach to the “revenue only” line, ns de
manded by a certain class of democrats.
In this light why not abolish the internal
revenue system? Excise taxes are ‘war
taxes.’ They have been so regarded at
all times, and from their inquisitorial
and arbitrary character they* have been
esteemed always as dangerous to the
peace and comfort and civil rights of our
{>eople. It is true that they are quickly
collected, and in times of war have been
resorted to with great advantage. It
has been the unvarying precedent of dem
ocratic administrations, under like cir
cumstances, to abolish the internal reve
nue taxes just so soon as the necessities
of war had rendered them unnecessary.
The tax upon tobacco, which the agricul
tural interests throughout the country
have clamored against for years, would
have been repealed at the last session of
congress if the representatives of the peo
ple of the house of representatives had
been permitted to vote thereon, for it is
well understood the senate would have
concurred in such repeal. This was de
nied by an assumption of power for which
there was, and is, no constitutional au
thority. Think of it! The whole num
ber of the representatives of the people of
the United States deprived of the right of
relieving their constituents from the im
position of needed taxation. Such a pro
ceeding will not occur soon again.
TARIFF DUTIES A SEPARATE QUESTION.
In reply to your second question,
“Would an equal cut of internal and
tariff taxes afford such basis?’’ I answer
in the negative.
The reduction in the tariff rate of du
ties should be a matter of separate and
distinct consideration and be done with
a due regard to the conditions existing
as to wages in this country as compared
with wages paid for like labor in pro
ducing such articles as are imported
which would, when here, come in compe
tition with like articles produced in the
United States. I am ready on this basis
to enter in good faith upon such a basis
of reduction, that is, wherever such ran
lx- done without danger to our American
producers. This proposition is in sub
stance the utterance of the convention
of the democracy at Chicago in 1884,
when and where the free traders were ut
terly routed and made confession at that
time of their complete discomfiture. We
must distinctly adhere to the spirit and
letter of our platform on which Mr. Cleve
land was elected.
WHY DISTURB INDUSTRIAL. PKOHPEUITY ?
You ask, third, assuming this accepta
ble, “Is it feasible to carry the element of
compromise into the selection of the
tariff schedule?” and fourth: “Are there
concessions of any other kind the majoii
ty of the party can offer without sacri
fiee of principle?”
I have said iu my sjieeehes in Congress
that I was not a protectionist per Be or
free trader per se. Carried out to their
logical consequences both would produce
precisely the same result and oomjiel the
raising of revenue by direct taxation.
Tin* free traders would hardly dare to
carry out their theory and policy if they
had the power. Why, therefore, are they
continually disturbing the healthy prog
ress of business and preventing the
strengthening of our party bv making
an issue which is destructive alike to our
prosperity and our continued party suc
cess? The history of the world in recent
years has not l>een favorable to the ex
tension of the free trade theory, but, on
the contrary, it has been seriously called
in question and even the English colonies
have repudiated it very generally. Re
cently the parliament of New South
Wales discussed the question and decided
adversely.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM AND DEMOCRATIC
HISTORY.
Our people have grown accustomed to
raising revenue by duties on imports. It
is collected without friction at the bor
der, it permits the encouragement of alt
our domestic manufacturers which are
THE COURANT-AMERICAN.
unable to compete successfully in the
markets of the world with foreign pro
ductions. I am opjioaed. therefore, to
any h*gislation which will destroy or se
riously cripple any American interest.
Of course 1 should not refuse, but favor,
legislation conceived and executed in
such a spirit of concession as would
bring about a schedule of tariff duties
which would reduce taxation to the low
est figures required for an economical
administration of the government, bst
at the same time in the laying of these
duties I would insist that wherever it is
necessary and within the proper purview
of the law itself to see to securing the
fullest encouragement and incidental
protection to our industrial interests,
it should be done, no matter in what
part of the Union they may be loeated.
This course of action is in harmony with
Democratic history*, and it is likewise
prompted by due regard to the advance
ment of our interests as well as an ap
proach to the destiny of our country.
We would be worse than heathens not to
take care of our own.
FREE TRADERS FAVOR PROTECTION AT
HOME.
It is a mere assumption that some
men act from what they call “principle”
and that others do not. The loudest
shouters for free trade have been found,
when it came to the consideration of the
details of a tariff bill, voting jiersistenfc
ly for the largest protective duties upon
the most ridiculously small productive
interests of their district. The truth is
ail men are alike in these respects, and,
home matters being better understood,
are less ignored, and, being better under
stood, the representative yieids prompt
submission to what he believes to be
just and light toward his constituents.
Very truly yours,
Bam J. Randall.
THE OPIUM HABIT.
Experience of a Youujf French Officer
With the Hurtful Drug.
London Daily Telegraph.]
There is at present in the Hospital of
the Charity a young non-commissioned
officer, as he would be called in England,
who is undergoing treatment as a victim
to opium smoking. The soldier, who is
a man of education, has given a remark
able account of his experiences ns an
opium smoker. He says that while in
Tonquin or Cochin China one of the
French Generals caused an order to be
issued against the use of the drug, and
this very prohibition was the means of
making several men try opium Hiuoking
through curiosity. The non-commis
sioned officer went with some comrades
to the smoking saloon of a village.
There a woman came to him and filled a
long pipe with a small ball of what ap
peared to lie a thick brown syrup, made
as consistent as wax. This the soldier
was pressed to take, und, placing its
bowl over a lamp which was alight, he
inhaled what seemed to be the fumes of
sugar and burnt apples, lie was at
first rendered ill, but alter a second pipe
was plunged into the ecstatic dreams de
scribed by DeQuincey, Baudelaire and M.
Paul Bonnetain. He seemed to float
into a bath of lukewarm milk, and mem
ories that had long lain buried passed
clearly through his imagination. He
recollected forgotten melodies, snatches
of songs and extracts from favorite au
thors; but when he awoke from the
reverie he was perspiring with pain and
fear.
After this lie kept up the habit for six
months, smoking thirty grammes ot
opium on the day of his departure for
France. The man at present looks rath
er livid, and his general appearance is
that of a person who lias been paralyzed.
It is expected, however, that he will be
brought around by the treatment of the
hospital physicians. M. Anatole France,
who has asked the man for a statement
of his experience, says that at the pres
ent moment there is an opium saloon in
Montmartre. It is chiefly frequented by
young artists and sculptors, and ht* him
self was allowed by special permission
to enter a private room, where he saw,
stretched on a divan, lank and livid, one
of the best known sculptors in Paris,
who was slowly poisoning himself with
opium, owing to the death of his wife,
whose vision he was able to conjure up
amid the fumes of the deleterious drug.

A THIEVES’ PARADISE.
U.'iiiiArkabii" Condition of California After
Gold Wa* I MOTcrrd,
Complied from the Unit volnroe of H. H. Ban
croft's Popular Tribunals.]
V remarkable state of affairs existed
in California for the first year after the
. discovery of gold. The first miners were
made up in a great measure of men al
ready living here; they were honest men,
and had deserted the towns to dig gold,
and not to defraud their
Many were known to each other, anr
few were wholly unknown. Peaceably
ami in a primitive way each for himself
picked the precious metal from the river*
beds and crevices, washed it from the:
sands that line,! the streams, or sought
a place of his own to dig for it, with n(f
desire to encroach on ground chosen by
another. Rights were respected: theft
was unknown. A pick or shovel thrown
upon the ground, sticks driven into the
earth, or a written or posted notice that'
a certain spot was claimed, was sufficient
to secure it against all coiners. Miners
lived much in the op*n air, in Goth tene
ments or rude huts, leaving their gold
dust in bags or bottles unguarded in tent
or cabin. The merchandise of the trader
was secured only by walls of cloth, which
could be easily cut through with a pock
et knife. Goods stacked up by the road
side, miles from any camp, remained un
disturbed for weeks and months. Horses
and cattle were safe to roam at large.
After the winter rains had ceased and
water for washing gold had disappeared,
in certain localities {flies of rich dirt were
thrown up to be washed out when rain
should come again. And, though these
heaps were often the result of great la
bor and contained much wealth, they re
mained undisturbed during the summer,
and when autumn came fell to their
rightful owners. Differences of opinion
were settled by ‘leaving it to the crowd.’
And so it was the first eomprs found less
discord existing here than anywhere else
in Christendom.
Vessels arrived so fast in San Francis
co that they could find no accomoda
tions for their cargoes on shore. Great
quantities of merchandise of all kinds
were discharged and piled up along the
beach. All of it was wholly exposed, al
though much of it was valuable. Yet
all this time there was scarcely a lock on
the door of any dwelling, store or ware
house in San Francisco. During this
truly golden age of integrity it never
seemed to occur to those honest folks
that there were any persons in the world
who would wrongfully take their proper
ty from them. It is said that there
was but one case of the theft in San
Francisco prior to October, 1841), and
this was a Mexican, who stole some
blankets, for which lie was publicly
whipped on the plaza.
During the autumn of 1848 there were
no such things along the slopes of the
Sierras as Government, Judges, Sheriffs,
Tax Collectors or other officers of the
law. All were absolutely free, and were
thrown upon their good behavior. But
in good time it seemed to dawn upon the
criminals of the world that a gold-yield
ing wilderness without jail or gallows
must be the* very paradise for thieves.
And with the multitudes of honest and
order-loving men came crowds from the
purlieus of crime convict colonies
poured out their villains and cities emp
tied their slums.
After landing at San Francisco they
usually first made a tour of the mines,
there forming the acquaintance ot other
gentlemen of their profession, whose
projects they were quite ready to join.
In this new field of enterprise everything
seemed to favor them; the absence of
strong government and the physical
condition of the country were all that
the most ambitious could desire. The
constantly moving from place to place
of miners and traders, and the intermix
ture of strangers, all tended to discour
age inquiry, to facilitate the operations
of outlaws, and to show them to move
quickly from place to place without ex
citing suspicion. In particular, the lone
ly and exposed condition of the roads,
and the large amount of treasure con
stantly passing over them, offered allur
ing opportunities for highway robbery.
Stage-robbing, as practiced by the pro
fession in California, was rather a chi
valrous occupation. The gentlemen of
the road risked their lives for whatever
happened to be in the express box, and,
if no opposition was made, they gener
ally contented themselves with this, and
neither robbed nor insulted the passen
gers.

The rendezvous of thieves was in the
heart of the district, and was called Sid
ney Town. Here, during the day, schemes
were concocted that were to be worked
out under cover of night. The meetings
had their orators, and leaders were
placed in charge of pillaging parties.
Singly or in parts they would perambu
late the unlightened and unwatched
streets, robbing, demolishing or murder
ing, as passion or fancy dictated. They
had a way of enticing or forcing their
victims to some eminence rising from the
bay. ami thence hurling them to their
death below. The beach round the
northern point of the peninsula was at
one time strewn with human bones,
washed up by the tide or half buried in
the sand.

| From the Chicago Tribune.]
Clayton, Ga., July 21. —A pheuome-
I non unparaleled in the annals of astron
omical science occurred here one day last
week, which, from the light it throws
upon the hitherto ojien question of the
other planets, will prove of great value
to science. At 7:45 o’clock p. in. then*
tell near this town a spherical metal ball
or aerolite, on the surface of which up
lear graven characters, which give con
clusive evidence of its having been mold
ed by intelligent hands. I)r. Severs, in
whose possession the wonder now is, said
this evening: “I was returning from a
patient's house, situated some seven
miles from the town, where I had spent
the latter part of the afternoon. It was
about 7:45 o’clock, though still light
enough to read by. I was ascending a
long hill, over which it is necessary to
drive liefore reaching home, when my
horse suddenly {nicked up his ears, and,
glancing ahead, my eyes were dazzled by
a brilliant white flash, resembling a
lightning stroke, and immediately fol
dowing came a sharp hiss as of escaping
steam. I knew that an aerolite had
fallen, had the flash been electrical there
would have been a clap of thunder,
i Driving on up the hill I noticed that
steam was issuing from the ground some
[rods back from the road, and on has
; tening to the spot found a hole about 4
inches in diameter, from which arose con
siderable heated vapor. I drove home
[as rapidly as possible, and taking a pick
Sand shovel returned to the spot. After
half an hour’s hard digging I came upon
the object of my search, at a depth of
about 5 feet. It was still too hot to
handle, but I succeeded in getting it to
my carriage by lifting it on the shovel. I
noticed that it was remarkably hea#y,
but not until 1 reached my barn, and re
moved tlie adhering soil, did I realize
what a prize 1 had. Instead of a rough
mass of meteoric iron, there nppeared a
smooth, perfect sphere of steel-blue
metal, with polished surface, and en
graved with pictures and writings. 1
could scarcely believe 1113* eyes, but there
wusHomistakingthefact. There upon the
surface of the strange ball was a deeply
graven circle within which was a four
pointed star, a representation of a bird
reptile resembling in a measure our ex
tinct archaeopteryx, and a great num
ber of smaller figures, resembling those
used in modern short-hand. The metal
of which the ball was composed was un
like anything I had ever seen, being
about as hard as copper and entirely in
fusible in my Bunsen blow-pipe. I filed
off some small bits and sent them to a
chemist, who made the following rep&rt:
“‘Sir: I have made a spectroscopic
analysis of the filings you sent. The
metal is fusible only in the electric arc.
It is anew element. Examined by the
spectroscope, its vapor gives three fine
yellow lines to the left of the I) line of
Sodium, a broad green one to the right
of the line of Barium, and an innumera
ble number of very fine purple ones.
“ ‘H. Randolth Stevens,
“ ‘Analytical Chemist.’
“Whence came this strange messenger?
By what infernal power was it hurled
into space? Possibly by some monster
gun on Mars or Yenus. Possibly launch
ed toward us by some lunarian gunner.
Many there are who will say that the
whole thing is a hoax and a fable, and
that the ball was manufactured on this
earth, but the fact that it is made of a
metal not found upon this sphere proves
beyond a doubt that it is an alien,
Hurled with frightful velocity, it tra
versed the vast distance of space sepa
rating us from our nearest neighbor,
and, plunging through our atmosphere,
became heated to incandescence, and
thus losing some of its frightful sjieed,
buried itself iu the soil of our plauet
without suffering any Injury. How shall
we determine whence it came? Is it pos
sible to reply, and can a sort ot commu
nication be established between planets?
A gun 180 feet long and strong enough
to hold a charge of 80 pounds of dyna
mite would hurl a platinum bultet of 2
inches iu diameter with a velocity suffi
cient to cause it to pass l>eyond terres
tial attraction. The dream of Jules
Verne has in a measure become realized,
and we are, without doubt, standing a
bombardment from space.”
The ball is now in the possession of Dr.
Severs, but will be sent to the Smithso
nian Institution in a short time, when an
official report will be made.
The Sandwich Islaiuu.
From the Interior.]
About a quarter of a century ago the
American board made the mistake of
withdrawing its missionaries from the
Sandwich Islands, and of leaving a ]>eo
ple recently converter! from heathenism
ng jko care of themselves through
•es organized on the Congregation-
Ids tin of individual independency,
‘ad that time the moral, social and
!• *al conditions of the islands have
111 - (growing worse and worse. While
rtv-five native churches have con-
U P 3to exist, and have not proved al-
per unfaithful, they have lacked the
energy to meet the evils incident and to
a great influx of foreigners, and to a
government controlled by a weak, disso
lute and sjtendthrift King, who has coun
tenanced, if not directed, a revival of
heathenish dances and other forms of
licentiousness and all kinds of official
corruption, in order to neutralize the in
fluence of what is known as the mission
ary party. The result of reckless ex
travagance of the Government has been
high taxes, discontent and threatened
revolution. Almost anything likely to
turn up would be an improvement upon
affairs controlled by King Kalakua.
The change from a quarter of a century
ago is certainly a sad one. Our hope is
that God may avert a sadder one from a
people so simple-hearted, energetic and

THU TERROR OF BUTCHERTOWX.
A Helpless, Gibbering Imbecile Commit
ted to the Insane Asylum.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.]
The jail is fatherless now, Jack Hayes
is goue. 11c was taken to the insane
asylum. About six years ago Hayes en
tered the jail a big, burly, brutal desjier
ado, with a voice as hoarse and harsh
tis a slave driver’s, and with the blood of
Philip Mueller on his hands. Yesterday
he tottered to the gate, a poor, weak,
halting wretch, palsied in every limb, his
face expressionless, his voice a childish
treble, and his mind a blank.
“Do I leave 1113' little house,” lie pi{ed,
as the guards called at his door.
“Yes, Jack, 3 011're going home.”
“Poor —poor little house!" and he ran
his thin, long clammy hands along the
iron walls, and then sat down on tin* old
lied he had picked to pieces, and gave
vent to a tremulous sound from his
throat which kept time with the patter
of his palsied foot upon the stone floor.
He went back to a little cigar-box in a
corner of his cell and took therefrom a
little sparrow. He stroked it with his
hand and mumbled on it, and then put
it down on the floor. It ruffled its wings
und strutted about, and lie watched it
with a smile which belli ml the black hair
streaming on his face gave him a glmst-
I3* appearance. The guards helped him
on with his coat, and then, leaning on
their arms, he was led totteringly, mum
bling all the while iu his drearv. high
heyed tone, to the gate. It was opened
before him and lie was led out. It shut
behind him rather sharplv*, and he
started: “M3* poor little house; 1113-
bird,” lie saiil, and he continued re
peating these words while he was
lifted into the ambulance. He was
then rattled away to Bedlam, and a few
hours after the guard came back and
handed to the jailer a receipt from the
superintendent of the insane asylum for
“One insane patient, Jack Ifa3*es.”
This is the end of a criminal as vicious
and brutal as ever the police had to do
with, a murderer of the coldest-blooded
kind. The terror of Butcliertow 11 is now
so mild not even a sparrow fears to perch
upon liis finger.
A TRIUMPH FOR PASTEUR.
The Hi-itisli Commission Convicted of the
Great Value of His Discovery.
The Philadelphia Medical News, in its
issue of this week, contains a long ab
stract of the report { presented to Parlia
ment last week In* the British Commis
sion appointed last year to inquire into
Pasteur’s treatment of hydrophobia.
From this abstract these following para
graphs are taken:
“It may hence be deemed certain that
M. Pasteur lias discovered a method of
protection from rabies comparable with
tlmt which vaccination affords against
infection from small-pox. It would be
difficult to overestimate the importance
of the discovery, whether for its practi
cal utility, or for its application in gen
eral pathology. It shows anew method
of inoculation, or, as M. Pasteur some
times calls it, of vaccination, the like ot
protection of both men and domestic
animals against others of the most in
tense kind of virus. The duration of the
immunit3* conferred by inoculation is
not 3*et determined, but during the two
years that have passed since it was first
proved there have been no indications of
its being limited.
“The committee think it, therefore,
certain that the inoculations practiced
I)3* M. Pasteur have prevented the occur
rence of hydrophobia in a large propor
tion of those w ho, if they had not been
so inoculated, would have died of that
disease, and his discovery shows that it
ma3* become possible Jo arrest 113* inocu
lation even after infection, other diseases
besides lydrophobia. His researches
hare also added very largely to the
knowledge of the patholog3* of hydro
bia, and supplied a sure means of deter
mining whether an animal which has
died under suspicion of rabies was really
affected with that disease or not.”
The Medical News sa3*s editorially:
“The report of the British Hydropho
bia Commission constitutes the ablest
defense of Mr. Pasteur’s method which
Ims 3*et been made, and it is a cause for
congratulation that men so competent
to observe facts and weigh evidence have
been able, after full investigations, to
reach a unanimous conclusion as to the
prophylactic value ot the inoculations of
Pasteur.”
Milked l>y a Black-Snake.
A cow belonging to Robert Knox, a
farmer residing near Boston, Ohio, stray
ed from her owner's premises about two
weeks ago, and was found some ten days
after. The animal was discovered in a
dense woods two miles from the Knox
farm by her owner, and was lying down
near a ledge of rocks. Upon approach
ing the animal a huge black snake was
discovered very complacently taking his
lacteal meal from the cow's udder. On
the nearer approach of the owner the
snake relinquished its meal and escaped
under the rocks. At the disappearance
of the snake the cow manifested the
greatest uneasiness and ran after if,
bawling lustily. Mr. Knox had great
difficulty in driving his cow from the
place, aud since being taken home
she has been utterly inconsolable, giving
vent continuously to such bawls as cows
usually do when deprived of their young,
aud making repeated efforts to escape
from her confinement,
The very plausible theory is that the
cow has formed a very strong attach*
ment for the snake, and that the latter
had reciprocated its affection for the cow
to the extent of regularly drawing its ra
tions from the cow's prolific udder. As
the cow had been missing several days,
anti the circumstances under which she
was found, together with the indications
that she hud been regularly milked, the
theory would seem to be a good one.—

Macon Telegraph, of Saturday.]
“If you see anything of stray ink bot
tles, glue pots, Georgia Reports ami Iti
bles, please leave them with the elerk of
the Superior Court.”
This note is to l>e fouml posted on the
front door of the county court house.
This morning a fierce battle was waged
in the Superiour courtroom. Since yes
terday morning .ludge Van Epps, of the
Circuit Court, occupying the Superior
Court room, has been hearing a case in
which there is a great deal of local inter
est. The prosecution is represented by
Col. George T. Fry, and the defense by
Col. li. W. Thomas. Col. Fry began his
argument and stated something about
the suppression of testimony.
“Say, look here. Col. Fry." exelaimed
Col. Thomas, as lie sprang to his f*et,
‘‘if you mean to accuse me of withhold
ing and suppressing any testimony you
tell what is downright untrue."
The flush of rage dyed the cheek of
Col. Fry us he turned upou Col. Thomas
and fiercely broke forth:
“Col. Thomas, if you mean that I have
told an untruth you an* a liar.”
A Georgia Report came flying out of
Col. Thomas' hand straight at the head
of Col. Fry. Over came a code from Col.
Fry. Then followed Givenleaf on Evi
dence, Georgia Reports and Bibles flew
thick and fast, and when the books gave
out, Col. Thomas picked up a glue bot
tle and sent a double-twisted curve
which struck a juror and ruined his !
coat. An ink bottle next came within '
reach of Col. Thomas’ hands, and this |
was sent after the glue-pot. The bottle
missed Col. Fry, but the contents gave
him a copious shower of copying fluid, *
While Col. Fry was dodging the ink and I
glue bottles he stumbled over a juror’s |
foot, and ns he fell to the floor his eye
fell on a spittoon. The large, heavy j
spittoon was quickly seized and raised !
high in the air, but Col. Thomas was out
of ammunition, a spittoon was rather
a dangerous weapon. A number of oth
er lawyers interposed and Col. Fry was
disarmed.
When the smoke cleared away and the
battle ground could be viewed calmly
and dispassionately, not an ink bottle,
nor a glue-pot, nor a book of any kind
was on the tables. Col. Fry spent some
thing like half an hour removing the ink
stains from his hands and face, while
Col. Thomas sent a boy after an extra
supply of cuffs and collars. Col Fry's
new straw hat was ruined with ink
stains.”
Roth parties apologized to the court,
and Judge Van Epps replied in a tired
voice, the exertion of dodging having
been too much for him in such warm
weather: “Gentlemen, 1 will decide
about the contempt of court in this mat
ter later on. Col. Fry, will you please to
proceed with your argument.”
The Colonel began right where he left
off.
The State Road.
Senator Dean, who introduced lliebill
for the sale of the Western & Atlantic
railroad, when asked the object and pur
pose of the bill, said “the interest oh the
present debt of the state, not including
school bonds, amounts to $489,425 an
nually. Now the income from the state
is 300,000 annually, which leaves a dif
ference of $187,455. Now the interest
on the minimum price, $8,480,500 at
4% per cent, will be $381,622.50, being
$81,622.50 more than the state now
gets from the road. This large increase
that will result from the sale of the road,
is, 1 think, a very good reason why the
road should be sold. Individuals en
deavor to get as much from their invest
ments as they can, and 1 do not see why
the state should not pursue a similar
policy.
“In addition to this reason, should the
bill pass and the road be sold, the pro
ceeds of sale under the constitution will
be required to be applied tp the liquida
tion of the state debt. But the greater
portion of the state debt thus provided
for, there will be no necessity for raising
more than SIOO,OOO annually from the
people by taxation. These figures to me
show conclusively that the best interest
of the state will be served by selling the
road and thus rid herself of all. her rail
road property, quitting the commercial
line she has so long leeu engaged in, and
hereafter confining herself solely to the
task of governing the jieople wisely and
well.
“Ample time exists in which to sell the
road. There is no necessity for hurry,
and no reason why any one’s interest
should be injured by undue baste. If
this assembly does not provide for the
disposition of the road, flic next legisla
ture will have time to complete it, as the
lease does not expire before December 27.
1860.
“I am in favor of making an earnest
effort to effect the sale of the road for the
most advantageous price. This effort is
necessary to be made and either this or
the next legislature will have to accom
plish it. Why not let this one have a
chance at it? - ’

Cremation In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.]
The Cincinnati Crematory, though still
in an unfinished condition, was utilized
yesterday forenoon in reducing to ashes
the remains of Ilenrirh Bonwitsch, who
died recently from heat prostration.
Bonwitsch was on years of nge, a Ger
man, and though he has lived in this
country but a few years, has managed
to accumulate considerable property.
His nearest relative is a sister, who lives
in Germany, and to whom he Iwqueatli
ed all of his property after a sufficient
amount had been deducted to defray the
exjiense of his cremation and the pur
chase of a silver urn to hold his ashes.
Early in the morniug the great funmee
ut the crematory was all aglow with a
scorching tire preparatory to disposing
of Ronwitwh's body.
At 9:12 o'clock three hacks, contain
ing the friends of the deceased, and an
undertaker's wagon, drove up in front of
the main entrance of tin* incomplete
structure. The body, which was in a
coffin, wus conveyed into the basement
and placed iu a small apartment adjoin
ing the one which contains the retort.
{ The friends of the deceased, together
with numbers of others who had been at
tracted to the place out of sheer curiosi
ty to witness the unusual ceremony,
were permitted to view the remains when
they were taken from the coffin, covens!
with nothing save a shroud, and were
wrupjied completely in a white sheet
well soaked in alum water. The body
was then placed upon n small slide frame
with cross-bars, when the double iron
doors of the l-etort were thrown open
and the remains conveyed to the glowing
receptacle. The heat registered over
2000°, and was gradually worked up to
2000 J . Looking through a small eye
glass into the retort nothing could Is*
seen of the body, as it was shrouded in a
bright red flame completely screening it
from view. The remains were reduced to
ashes in one hour and forty-five minutes,
but they will Is? allowed to remain in the
retort until to-day r when they will Is*
taken out and sent to the Rouwitseh
relatives across the water.
FAILED TO DIE.
A Newport Man Who diil not I’rnphoxy
the Time of Ills Il.atli Correctly.
Cincinnati Enquirer, 21st.]
All Newport was discussing the situa
tion of Mr. John lletaeh yesterday.
Twenty years ngo last night he predict
ed that he would die last night, and
fully believed that his prediction would
come true. He is an eccentric sort of an
old gentleman. Wednesday, at a Ger
man Methodist church in Newport, of
which he is a deacon s• • tees were held.
There was a large attendance, from the
fact that it had been known 1 bat the
old gentleman would bid the congrega
tion a last sad farewell, lb* lias Wii a
member of the congregation for years,
and no man stands better in Newport
socially, personally and religiously. Af
ter the services the old gentleman arose
and bid them all farewell, as before the
dawning of another day he would pass
into oblivion. The entire congregation,
to whom the old gentleman had endear
ed himself, cried bitterly, and shook his
hands one by one as they passed out of
the religious edifice. All of yesterday
Mr. lletsch did not eat anything, but at
a late hour he was still alive ami appa
rently in good health.
Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
died at his home in Essex county, Mon
day last. Mr. Hunter was one Virgin
ia's most eminent citizens for many
years before and during the late war. He
was born in 1809. He served several
terms in the national house of represen
tatives, l>eing elected speaker of that
body in 1839. Subsequently he was
elected United State Senator and made
chairman of the Senate finance com
mittee, in 1847, which position lie held
till the oiieniug of the war. He gave
Douglas a close run for the Presiden
tial Nomination at the National Demo
crat Convention at Charleston, in 1860.
During the war he served as Confederate
Secretary of State and Confederate Sen
ator. He was also a member of the
Peace Commission which met Abraham
Lincoln in Hampton Roads. After the
war he was elected Treasurer of Vir
ginia, holding that office for several
terms, after which he retired to private
life.
Speaking of Col. Bill Glenn of Dalton,
it remains to say that he is something
else than a raconteur. He is a student
and a thinker and a many sidl’d man.
When quite a boy he abjured the schools
and educated himself, sficnding the years
of boyhood in vigorous anil intense com
panionship with his text books, and in
thoughtful and . well digested general
reading. He is now something of an
encyclopaedia, talking readily and fluent
ly upon almost every subject, discussing
politics with politicians, law with law
yers, agriculture with farmers, theology
with the preachers, music with Hie pro
fessors, art with modem masters, and
nonsense with the idlers. He is regar
ded by his fifeuds as the Crichton of the
Legislature.—Atlanta Journal.
WHEN CHICKENS COME HOME.
You may take the world as it come* aid goes,
And you will lie sure to find
That fate will square the account she owe;,
Whoever comes out behind.
And all things had that a man has dons,
By whatsoever induced,
Returns at last to him. one hv one,
As the chickens come kuaits tareost.
You may scrape and t il and pinch and save.
While your hoard, and wealth expands.
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing our lile’s last sands ;
You will have your balance struck some night.
\nd you'll find your hoard reduced;
You’ll view yonr life in another light.
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul aud starve your heart
With the husks of a barren creed.
But Christ will know If you play a part.
Will know in your hour of need:
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can their be deduced
From a creed alone? You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will there’s a time to reap,
For the good and bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep.
Is either a heaven or hell.
And every wrong will Hud its place.
And every passion loosed,
Drifts back and meets you face to face—
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you’re over or under the sod
The result w 11 l>e the same.
No matter whet’s carve.l on a marble slab,
When the items are all produced
You’ll find that St. Peter was keeping “tab,”
Aud that chickens come home to roost.
