When Col.

His wi/e, accompanied by lev little and ilighter - , .the late Hu'cUtess, and a l iith ful old femm odo chimbre, came to the conciergerie at 3:30 p. m. aud asked per mission of.the ia. lev to diue in the prison with her husband before his execution. Ciie jailer, who was ate oder-hear‘ed man, assented, when the child begged tc spend a last hour svitu her father. At 7 o’clock the child aud the old femme de ciiamUio appeared at the prison gate ad asked ihe jailer to let them pass. Leaning on the arm of each was Mine, de Lavallette, her face hidden in her handkerchief. '‘.'lre child, who was cry ing bitterly, kept the attention of the jailer diverted from lu'v motuer. All the employes ot the prison vero present and saw the two women and the child leave. Their “identity” was e.s Sttbhshed and written iu the jail register. A few minutes later the* concierge entered the coll of Count de jL&sraiiette jpid found there the condemn Ml man’s ivdc pressed in her husband’s “Ah' m • he exclaimed. ““I aa> lost!” Midam e badjored him t<* while to gain time, Uer <lau ' g j\ ter was leading her lit/* 0 l ' i! \ * (> Sa . */* * The concierge, on realiz spread the news, and in a tew mometJ s the gendarmes wore iu fui ' chae a tor Count de Liveliette.

His s d'e arrival 'u Belgium, he always said, was due to the- i presence of mind oi his little 12-year-old ' daughter, tiie late Baroness. When King Louis vVIIf, newly re stored to the thrown and tilled with hate ! towards the Bouapartisfs, heard of the Gout’s escape he remarked vo the Dub ; de Dec zes, h's i,re:ect < f pol. ee: “IMme, ; de Liveliette and her little daughter ; uuvo only done their duty.” And after n pause ho added: ‘‘But the Ciiaimber of Deputies will say it was me who did it.” Mine, de Luvallette, her daughter and the femme de clmmbro were broitgbt to trial aud wore and f moled by the th eu fa mous 'lawyer, M. Dupiu. A curious feature of the trial was that the three were ae qm.lid by the sum jury that, had con demed Cm it de Lava lette to the death a couple < f days before. The late liuronness kept Horace Ver u et’s picture ( f the “Escape” in a con - a; Re nous part-f her salon, Not 59 Rue L i Jlocbefoucauid ia 1 many years. Op posite was a splendid picture of the Em press Josephine and her two children, Prince Eugene and Queen Horteuse, mother *•£ Napoleon 111. Among the other ornaments of the salon w ere a white marble bust of Napoleon used at the bat tle of Austerlilz when directing his le gions; the sabre of Mourad Bey., pre sented by 1 iio then General Bonaparte to his aid-de-camp, Count de Lavaih-tte, on tiie evening of the day of battle of Tie Pyramids. Mme. de L tv.die to, mother of stbe late Baroness, died in 1850, iu the same mansion where her daughter died the other day. The episode of her husband’s escape haunted her all her life, anti a few moments before her death she r< se from her pillow and. addressing her daughter, shrieked: “Quick! quick! I cannot, detain the jni er mucli longer! ’ The B ironoss de Foyet, though dtv.iys pain fully mindful of the daring episode, could never more be induced to talk about it. When Xopole -u Ilf came to the throne he did not forget his cousins, the L vallettes, but Mme. Je Livallette would receive uo favors from him and would have nothing to do wi h him. She never even vis ted the Tuileries. When she died N ipoleoa Iff. sent his aids-de-camp, in fall u tiform, to represent him at the funeral, f>r which tlie late 11 iron ess de ; Foyet simply relumed a formal note of ! thanks. The Baroness held a couspicu -1 otvs place among the aristocracy of Paris, ! but was always noted for her aversion j to luxurious di play. She was much no- J ted for her wit, amiability and charity, i and her iiuowleigo of politics brought many politicians >f all parties to her sa lon eu reception da^s. A PETITION From the Woman's Christian T’c-uif eranc Union ortho state of Georgia. To the Honerable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives iu Gen eral Assembly met: Gentlemen —At the last meeting of the State Convention of the Woman’s Christ ian Temperance Union, which was held in the city of Macon, Ga., during the month of April of the present yeir, the following resolution was utianim uslv adopted: “Resolved, That the Oman’s Christian Temperance Union of Georgia, in - ss:cn assembled,respectfully request the each local Union shall memorialize the next Georgia Legislature in behalf of the woman and juvenile criminals confined in our jails and chain-gangs, that they be separated from the older and more haid ened criminals in the State. \Y e leave the remedy for their consideration and good judgement, and especially insbt that it shall cot be mingled with political platforms or used for political < tfect. We reserve to ourselyes ti.e priviuge of indicating reforms in everything pertain ing to the welfare of our race, and we ask the careful, prayerful conside ation of a matter so vital to our humanity, Christianity and civilization.” It is unnecessary to consume time in pleading for the need of this change in our convict system. Nobody disputes the admitted Tacts in the case. It is cruel to chain young offenders to adults In crime and it is barbarous to confine wo- in the same prison-pens with a horde of desperate ruffians who respect nothing under Heaven, and who only follow the leadings of beastly proclivities in such dens of vice. The last published report, dated Oct. 20th, 1384, shows the ab solute demand for a change of m (hods, f r the female conyicts are as helpless with the gjard.s or overseers as with tho men who wear Ac chain. Read the report and ask yyes whether this old r- lanon wealth can tol' ra!e a system iu which such atrocities are possible. Georgia has been a J&ggard i n this woTk.

Of that Pdm ber all wure Souihern Klavas but 0.-c. • , Georgia is the lawful gpavii n of nearly sixteen hundred criminal.-. She cannot shirk her responsinility. vhe world holds the State responsible.

Every ihegisuitue has seen it poulticed and plastered to h le deformity, and it lias been snr>rtT At with powerful influences and lobby money; but it. grows more an more distasteful year by year. Extirpation will be tho only o. Active remedy, and the Legislature shorn seize it with a strong hand and an outsb ‘tcln-d arm, and wipe off the si -.ln 1 u her honor. When the Yazoo sv indlers pri" .vied in Georgia , there were similar agen in em ployed to perpet late wrong-dt i , but a Georgia LegLi dura was equal > the State’s extremity, aj-.d the fr.'.ululent grants w r tre demolished in asiui'.l -ion. And their is in your Illustrious b j the same philanthropic, patriotic p tincts which overturned the Yazoo fraud in the year 1790. Georgia had noble sires; she has also noble sons. For heinousness of inst ption and Laiit ful results for evil, the ].resent 1 . * s}'- tem will compare very favorably w li the Yazoo swindle. There can be no apology fora system which places tiie Lvh and the musket in irresponsible hands, vhich substitutes vicious criminals for guards, which chains to ether all grades of con victs, which has neith r meniy for child hood nor prot ction for tho sex ot females, where no elevating te> encies are encouraged, where no refor .atory influences are allowed, and where orutal instincts arc given tail play, w vided the work of a brute be puiuima.. The condition of affairs was : it the natural sequenc of the lease a f vhich become a law in February, 1876. That measure was intended to be hunur e. In section 3, itw'as made the dub of the Governor to require the establLh.; nt of a centennial penitentiary with .table, permanent enclosures and stool Ts on an island, or o' uer satisfactory cation if an island coni not be obtained ( ‘om fortable buildin s, a m ideut sician and chaplain, ,hr-e sal-:ric3 t State expected to pay, we*e to be also, anl in thiaccn'nl camp the very young’ j the very old, the women and the sickly convicts were to be confined at such labor j as suited age, sex, health and strength. ; The able-bodied, stalwart criminals were j to be assorted b\' the physician and kept j iu mines, canals, brick yards and on railroads at hard work. Reformatory in fluences were to be inforeed by the chaplain, with Bibles, tracts, etc., the Governor to exact the fulfilling of the law. It was the pervation of the lease act — j the substitution of another scheme—that became the parent of such a fruitful off spring of abuses. Three promiscuous camps were authorized by Executive order, and no explanation given except “impractica bility.” Unless impracticability to the lessees, it was evidently not impractica ble to the State. Fr< m the sturt the whole authority and power of State officials Ins appeared to be enlisted in behalf of the essees and against the financial and moral interests of the tax-payers of Georgia. Unless an “Executive order” ranks higher than the law-making department of the government, there is an opportunity for relief, and an open door through which the State of Georgia can recall to her own control these unfortunate criminals, to be punished and protected by no lower authority than the State itself. The State may barter away their work for sl6 per capita per annum, but she is unable to trade off her interests in either their health or their morals; and the Wo man’s Christian Temperance Union makes an earnest appeal to the State Legis- j lature for a legal provision or amend- j anent to the bona fide lease act, by which ; the 137 little boys now in prison camps j may be screened from association with vetron convicts, and the women convicts protected alike from villians on the chain and villainous guards with the lash in their bands. If from some far-away heathen land the report should come that a legalized “Black Hole of Calcutta” was the method ■ of dispatching the enemies or criminals of j that country —whose iron doors* were j clamped on a struggling mass of men, : women and children —where virtue had ! no ray of hope, and sickening filth lay j deep on dead aud dying humanity— ho w : our hearts would respond to a call for help and succor! How Christendom would thrill with appeals for money and men! Yet, here iu Georgia, the Empire State of the South, the foremost star in tbe brilliant Southern crown, the birth-place of meg whose names will never die in the annals of ike good and great, here, in our midst, we find a “Black Hole,” establish ed for twenty year* in which there enters no gleam of hope, every court thrusting in fresh victims, where hard ened brutes know no terrors of the law, - gave the lessees’ frown, where children are trained, tutored and graduated in sin, com’ u S out ever and anon, to ply their | trade in crime, from petty pilferers, ad- j vaucing to expert thieves, burglars, ?* pists and where desperate, hardened women, under t!ie lash an ■ lu*f of vicious guards, g r ow into demons of lt fiercest grate, where inlanio are born op the chain, and the toiTUO nM ot the loft ,osig raffed into innocent fiouls, all by the .neglect, the indifference and the apathy of the fepjysentativis of Georgia, whose duty it is to protect thu lives and property of the honest .citizens of the State from violators of law, *ustead of repressing crime, we propa 'l .

Poor Georgia, let'.n in purse and beset by sharpers, finds herself, not only swin - died in the trade, but minus either money or reputation. She gets no more for 1,600 than for 900, nor will her profits increase a dollar if the number runs up to 3,000, . but more keepers, more physicians, more expense and greater loss will be inevi table to the tax payers, while the gig mic monopoly will increase in strength until it will dominate every .’material and po litical Interest in the State, if we have not already reached that unhappy crisis. To snrn up the glaring evils of the lease system—*ts injustice, Itsoutpour of expert villians, its infection snd its hideous, degration of women and childpen-= would require the genius and skill of Georgia’s ablest intellects, but the remedy is simple whenever Georgia’s repress Natives resolve to restore to the State her righthd author ity. There was no difficulty in settling . the \uzoo fraud when the resolve 1 taken. “Vested rights’ geared nobody, , but “vested wrongs” cried aloud and the . call was answered. Speed the day when the. Christian churches shall thunder against this abomination of desolation, and welcome the hour when a Georgia L ads lature shall rebuke the money-changers* and restore to humanity its “vest.-ihg rights and to the State her lawful rsf r nueg.

Ingersoli talked hoarsely and interestingly to about a thousand well-dressed men and women at Chicker'iDg hall for about a. i hour lust night. The laughter and applause were pretty nearly continuous. Among other things he said were these: If nobody has too much everybody will have enough. I would like to see this world so that a man could die and not feel that he had left his wife and children a pray to the gretd or avarice or necessities of mankind. There is something wrong in the system when idleness is burdened with wealth and industry with famine. Get out of your minds that old nonsense about man’s free moral agency. A man is no more responsible for his character than for bis height, or for his acts than for his dreams. Then you will have charity for the whole human race. Wealth is not a crime, nor is poverty a virtue, although virtue has generally been poor. There is only one good—human hap piness. To do right 13 the bud, blossom aid fruit of wisdom. No perfectly civilize! man could be happy while there was an unhappy being in the universe that he knew. The poor imagine that the rich live in Paradise. I know that the most of them live in a gilded bell. No man has the genius or the brain to own $5,000,000. The money owns him. Fie is the key to a safe. Yet these men go on accumulating. It is a sort of in sanity. Imagine a man—a good, intelli gent man—with 2,000,000 coats [laughter] 6,000,000 or 8,000,000 hats [cheers] a billion neckties [laughter and cheers]. Then get up at 4:30 o’clock in the morn iug and work hard all day to mans' another necktie. | Prolonged applause.] Great wealth is the mother of crime. The gull i3 growing wide between Lazarus nd Divise, only the two have changed places—Divise is in Abraham’s bosom. The rich have scorn and contempt for the poor; the poor envy and hatred for the rich. There mast be some way for the loving poor and the sympathetic rich to get acquainted. If there is anything t. nt should bring mankind together it is a common belied, but iu this Christian country th -re is no welcome in the velvet for the rags. I would think much of any religion th at would allow the rich and the poor to clasp hands, if only f-.-r one instant Oi.ee a week. All m n are not capable of getting a living now. Some are not cunning a-, .ugh, not strong enough, not stingy enough. M " of machines have been invent e 1 to shso labor, but the labor does not own tin- uivhine. The machine owns the lab r. N. mil should be allowed to own any land th: i ->e does not use; but I would not take m • hof land from any one with out payb ..; for it. If it w ; c possible to bottle the air there would b- a great American air bottling as?oci>di. before sundown to-morrow, nd milk.' .3 would be allowed to die for the want >f breath if they were unable to pay the monthly air bills.

His kindly f lings toward the south wero a! the mvit appreciated by those who knew NUMBER h) mm,because they were never paraded in his public utterances. Tie was a partis.-tu win honestly believed that in the su<v< -a of his party lay the best interests of all sections, and be gave little official recog nition to those of the opposite political faith. But he was too honest and x sincere to bid tor popularity by cheap and empty flattery. There is a species of th * genus politician, north and south, wbod.- lights in extravagant gush and magnaa mous protestations when his heart is warmed with social influences, and who relapses into narrow and vindictive sec tionalism as soon as the champagne h s evaporated. Mr. Arthur whs a higher style of man, £ truer, though l< ss demon strative friend, a manlier and more t fiVe tive opponent. Ue was the first pr. i dent since the war who, in his uvssa to Congress,made no distinct allu.-ion to the south.

The popular im pression that Garfield pulled the ticket through was never shaded by those who knew the facts of that remarkable cam paign. It was Chester Arthur’s p it' t, knowledge oj New York politics and •tis great personal popularity which car ried the pivotal state and defeated Han cock. Yet nobody ever heard him claim the honor of the victory. A man of less steady mental balance and of less fixed moral purpose, would iitve failed miserably under the f* .trial stress which he endured on his accid 'lllll promotion to the presidency. How he sustained himself officially and personally is a matter of history The presidency was as fatal to him as it was to G irfield. 1 The arduous duties of the office wen; dis charged by him with a patient and un flagging deyotion which completely un dermined his constitution. For years before he had led a life of comparative leisure in the enjoy arm t of those ameni ties of life which a considerable private fortune, had afforded him The sudd n ;> sumption of the heavy harness was too much for him, and before he laid it off i • 1 himself perceived that ttie strain had bi on j too great; When be delivered to his ue .lessor the high office he had so faithfully tilled he looked twettty years older than when he appe-.r and four years before as he took the chair in the Senate. The hand of death was already on him and he re alized it. Our public men rapidly rise and are"soon forgotten, but there was much in this man's life and character worthy of grateful remembrance.
