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.

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.

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. “work. work, work!” How many women there are working to-day in various branches of industry— to say nothing of the thousands of pa tient housewives whose lives are an un ceasing round of toil —who are martyrs to those complaints to which the weaker sex is liable.

A Stellar Visitant. | 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 greatly reduced in nnmt>er, yet faithful to Christ. The American board, we un derstand, has determined to send back its missionaries to the more important points on the islands, but we fear that this movement is too late to be of any very efficient service. Young and middle-aged men suffering from nervous debility, premature old age, loss of memory, and kindred symp toms, should send ten cents in stamps for large illustrated treatise suggesting sure means of cure. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y, 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.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

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? - ’ DYSPEPSIA makes the lives of many ]>eoplo misera abh; and often leads to self destruction. We know of no remedy for dyspfqtsia more successful than Hood’s Sarsapa rilla. It acts gently, yet surely and effi ciently, tones the stomach and other or gans, removes the faint feeling, creates a good appetite, cures headache, and re freshes the burdened mind. Give Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial. It will do you good. Buffalo Bill ami his troop of red-men went to Church in London the other day with all their war paint on.

SLSO Per Annum—sc. a Copy. 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.
