THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Drawer 3, Atlanta, 6a. “A HOWLII SOGER BOY.” One of the Macon Volunteers and Hi* Ability ns a Drummer. SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, OA. The excellent picture we present at the head of this column, is of a man who is as well aud favorably known iu his capacity as a traveling man or “drummer” as any one man in the United States. Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently: “About four yearn ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism, which completely disabled me for a time, and which developed into what is com monly called ‘chronic,’ attacking me when least expected, and laying me up entirely; in capacitating me for any kind of business and causing me as ranch suffering in a day as should be crowded in a life time. After one of my most severe attacks, and when I had just got able to hobble around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt, an old friend, and he said lie could make a remedy tiiat would cure me, and, by gracious, ho did. I took two bottles of his stuff, pieimred from routs and lierl**, and 1 have never had a twinge of rlicumatisin since. The medicine was not prepared for sale at that time, but was manu factured by Mr. Hunnicutt for ids frionds. About six months ago it was determined to place it upon the market, and a tirm was organ ised for that purpose. Two weeks ago, iu the midst of my suffering, 1 noted in one of their advertisements that it was good for kidney troubles also. I knew it would cure rheuma tism, and I bought a half a dozen liottles at once and determined to give it a fair sliow at a kidney disease of long standing. It may seem extrava gant, but the first day’s use gave me rolief, and before I had completed taking one bottle my disagreeable symptons had entirely disap peared. I have used two bottles up to this time, and I have not felt a trace of my disease fora week.” j. M.

One of the Atrocious Crimes of the West. In a work relating to Indian history, by J. P. Dunn, Jr., recently published by the Harpers, the author gives a vivid and authentic sketch of the atrocious Mountain Meadow massacre, the thought of which excites burning indignation to day, although nearly thirty years have passed since this dark stain on American annals. As illustrating the savage spirit which incited this horrible crime, the writer quotes from a sermon of Brigham Young published in the Desert News just prior to the wholesale murder. Young tells his congregation: “I could refer you to lots of instances where men have been righteously slain in order to atone for their sins. I have seen scores and hun dreds of people for whom there would have been a chance (in the last resurectlon there will be) if their lives had been taken and their blood spilled on the ground as a smoking incense to the Almighty, but who are now angels to the devil until our elder brother, Jesus Christ, raises them up, conquers death, hell and the grave. It is true that the blood of the Son of God was shed for our sins, but men commit sins which it can never remit.” It wag during the zeal which Young thus wrought among his fanatics that the massacre oecured. During the snmmer of 1857 Captain Fancher’s train, number ing fifty-six men ami sixty-two women and children most of whom were from the northern counties of Arkansas, at tempted to cross the mountains en rohtc to California. At Sait Lake City the train was joined by several disaffected Mormons. In the train were thirty good wagong, as many mules and horses and cattie. Their route lay through south western Utah, where the Mountain Meadows are located. In these meadows they camped on the 4th of September. Here is the national divide. They were on the edge of the Pacific slope. They just began to realize their hopes for they could almost look over into California, their “promised land.” On Monday morning, September 7, as they were gathered about the camp fires, a volley of musketry blazed from the gulley through which ran the stream that wa tered the meadows. Seven of the expec tant travelers were slain and sixteen wounded at the first fire. The man had been frontiermen too long to BECOME PANIC-STRICKEN. The women and children hurried to cover and the men returned Are, much to the surprise of the masking agsailants, who had expected to enjoy an uresisting massacre. The assailants were made up of Mormons masked as Indians of Pah. Utter, Upper Pi-Eads and Fower Pi- Eads, and all led by John D. Lee, a Mormon elder. The response that the bloody wretches received to their Are drove them back. They sent after rein forcements, and while waiting for the same amused themselves by pitching quoits, and occasionally shooting the cattle and firing upon the wagons, which the travelers had to draw around them as a barricade and defense. On Wednesday a young man named Aden, a son of a Kentucky physician, together with a companion, succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the masked savages and get- ting out of the meadows on their way to Cedar City, where they hoped to secure aid. At Richards’ springs they met throe Cedar City men, William C. Stew art, Joel White and Benjamin Arthur. As they stopped to water their horses, Stewart SHOT AND KILLED ADEN, and White attempted to kill the compan ion, but succeeded only, in wounding him, when he escaped and made his Way back to the camp. His report filled the emigrants with despair. Aden’s father was known to have saved the life of a Mormon bishop, and yet his son had been assassinated by a Mormon. Al ready they had pierced the masks worn by many of their assailants to discover that they were white men—were indeed Mormons, Itfty-four in number. The Indians numbered 200. The beseiged prepared a statement of their desperate condition, giving as belief that the Mor mons were their real besiegers, directing it to Masons, Odd fellows and leading re ligious denominations. With this state ment they dispatched three of their best scouts, directing them to California. The scouts did not succeed in eluding the vigilance of tho murderers. They Were run down by Ira Hatch, a Mormon and a leader of a band of Indians, in the Santa Clnra mountains. TWO OF THEM WERE MURDERED as they slept and the third was wounded, and a few days afterward assassinated. While the Mormons were awaiting re inforcements they knelt and formed a prayer circle and asked for divine gui dance. After prayer one of their leaders, Mayor Higbee, said: “I have the evi dence of God’s approval of our mission. It ia God’a will that we carry out our in structions to the letter.” In carrying out these instructions they found it necessary to make use of the basest teachery. This they did by means of a white flag born by Lee and William Bateman. “They represented to the be seiged that the Indians were terribly ex cited and thirsted for revenge because of the loss of some of their cattle, and they promised protection to the emigrants if they would unconditionally surrender. Thero was no alternative. The supplies of the emigrants were giving out, and inasmuch as Mormons were the only white people in Utah, there was no hope for mercy from any other source. The terms were accepted, and on the morning of Friday, September 11, they gave up all their guns aud ammunition, and then placed themselves wholly in the power of those whose appetite for bloodshed had but just l>een whetted. They marched out from behind THEIR BARRICADES. The scene that followed is thus de scribed by Mr. Dunn. “It is just afternoon and the day is bright and clear. Tramp, tramp, tramp, they march down from the camping place. The men reach the militia and . give three hearty cheers as they take their places, murderer and victim, side by side. Tramp, tramp, tramp. They are rounding the point of the ridge which has served as a screen for the Mormons and Indians for the past week. A raven flies over them croaking. What called him there ? Does he foresee that he shall peck at the eyes of brave men and gentle women who are looking at him? The wagons with the wounded and children are passing the hiding place of the Indians. How qutetly they lie among the gnarly oak bushes! But their eyes glisten and their neck*' stretch out to see how soon their prey will reach them. The women are nearly a quarter of a mile behind the wagons, and the men are much further be hind the women. A half-dozen Mormon horsemen bring up the rear. Tramp, tramp, tramp! The wagons have just passed out of sight over the divide. The men are entering a little ravine. The women are OPPOSITE THE INDIANS. They have regained confidence, and several are expressing joy at escaping from their savage foes. See that man on the divide. It is Iligbee. lie makes a motion with his arm and shouts some thing which those nearest him under stand to be ‘do your duty.’ In an In stant the militia men wheel and each shoots the man nearest him. The In dians spring from their ambush and rush upon the women; from between the wagons the rifle of John D. Lee ciacks, and a wounded woman in the foremost wagon falls ofl the seat. Swiftly the work of death goes on. Lee is assisted in shooting and braining the wounded by the teamsters, Knight and McCurdy, anil as the latter raises his riflerto his shoul der he cries: ‘O Lord, my God, receive their spirits; it is for Thy kingdom that Ido this.” The tomahawk, and blud geon, and knife soon completed the bloody work begun by the bullet, and in a few minutes after Uigbee’s signal not a man or a woman was left alive. Two girls were missing, and were scion found concealed In some neighboring bushes. Two of the Mormons—and Lee was one of them —dragged Jdie trembling and HALF DEAD GIRLS from their place of concealment and ravished them, then Lee ordered them killed by the Indians. An Indian chief objected saying “they were too pretty to kill; let us save them.” While this ob jection was being made Lee held one of the girls on his lap. She threw her i arms around his neck and implored for her life promising she would lovo him tdways if he but would. Jot her live. His answer was to pash her liead back with one hand, when, with the other hand clasping abowie knife, he cut her white neck through to the spine. This Anighed the slaughter as awful as were the Sicilian vespers. The bodies, horribly mutilated, were left upon the meadows a prey for wolves and buz zards for weeks, and it was not until some months had elapsed that the whit ened bones were gathered together and buried. Sixteen or seventeen children, ranging in age from a few months to eight years, were divided up among the Mormons, and so was -t70,000 in property which the emigrants possessed. The little children were subsequently secured by Gentiles and restored to Arkansas, but the “strong parental government” has never compelled the cut-throats to dis gorge the $70,000 and restore it to the SURVIVORS OF THE MASSACRE, most of whom have always been in des perate need of it. A strange sequence to the awful mas sacre is the fact that Mountain Meadows, from being a verdant spot in 1857, invit ing the fatal halt and rest of the emi grants, has become sterile and barren, literally the abode of desolation. The only atonement ever offered for the crime was the shooting ot John D. Lee at the scene of the massacre on March 23, 1877, nearly twenty years after the crime was committed, and after he had confessed that on that bloody occasion he himself took five lives. The responsibil ity for the crime laid at every Mormon official’s door, and Brigham Young was their chief. They ought to have all swung for it. President John Taylor, George Q. Cannon -and other Mormon leaders ought now to be arrested and tried, not for polygamy, but for the Mountain Meadow massacre, and ought to be hung. They could all be convict ed of being accessory, not only after, but before the fact. Facts ami Figures.

In his death we plainly see the effect of not heeding the warning of'older persons. He was told only a tew moments before lie met with this accident mot to go into the tunnel, as it was not safe. He re plied with an oath that he would go if he got killed; and in disobeying advice he made the venture, and in a few moments the timber gavo away, letting the over head fall. He was instantly crushed to death. He was excavated in about thirty minutes, when life was entirely extinct. He wag terribly crushed and a horrid sight to behold. In failing to obey Mr. Crisson, who controls the works, be met with a premature death, and was rushed headlong into eternity with profane lan guage on his lips.” ■■ • ♦ ♦ ... , Henry Ralph and his wife of Bferville, Mich., quarreled and separate#, the mother taking a three-year-old child with her. She tired, of the boy, and a few days ago, in company with an ad mirer, started in a buggy to take the child to its father. She met him on a wagon load of gravel and offered the child to him. He wouldn’t take it. The mother tossed the boy up on the load of gravel. The father threw him back into the bug gy. The mother grabbed the whip and began beating her husband, and in the confusion the little boy fell out of the buggy between the wheels of the loaded wagon. The horses started, the wheel went over the little head, and the ques tion in dispute was settled forever. The woman has been arrested.

Washington Hatchet.j It is interesting to watch the way in which Uncle Sam's sons draw on the old man at the ( apital. Take the lower house. The bank for the members is conveniently situated alongside the Speaker’s room at the west side of the wing, and is conducted as any other banking house. Checks on it are good commercial paper anywhere in the coun try. There are seven men connected with the management of the bank, in cluding the Sergeant-at-Arms. The Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms gets $2,000 per annum, the cashier $3,000, the book keeper SI,BOO, the paying teller $2,000, the messenger sl, 300, the page $720 and a laborer $5 a day during the session. There is an average of $150,000 in the safe while the House is in session. When money is needed the messenger goes to the Treasury with the proper papers, ac companied by a Capital policeman, and returns in a street-car, unusually with about $40,000. If there is a call for a larger sum the Sergeant-at-Arrn9 jumps into a carriage and goes after it himself. The pay erf the members begins the 4th of Maruh their eleotiou, and a check ip sent them every month, unless they otherwise direct. Their accounts are cerlilled by the Clerk of the House, as there is then no Speaker. The pay of a member U $416.66 per month, but to avoid fractions they are paid sll6 for four months and $517 for eight months. The Treasurer only recognizes and makes payments. Many an Old m**)er is under the impression that his per diem is always placed to his credit, and could be drawn out before every sunset, but he is mistaken. The SSOO per annum is di vided Into twelve installments at Mr. Manning’s end of the line. When a member dies his pay ceases on the day of his death. The salary of the successor commences the day after the decease of the former member, though the election may not occur for several months. The new member, in other words, draws pay for time he never served. The members draw their money in different ways. There are probably twenty of the present House who let their salaries iun into nest eggs. Among these arc Scott and Everhardt, of Penn sylvania; Powell, of Illinois; Boutell, of Maine; Henly, of California; Jones, Stewart, and Reagan, of Texas; Ellsbury, of Ohio; Stone, of Massachusetts, and Wakefield, of Minnesota. Scott has over a year’s salary owing him—about $6,000. " The other members mentioned have from SI,OOO to $3,000 to their credit. There are a couple of dozen of members who always overdraw or rather borrow from the head of the bank. They bor row or get in advance sums ranging from $lO to S3OO, and at the end of the month they have nothing. The great majority of the members draw all that is coming to them at the end of each month, par ticularly those who have their families with them. Some of them never see au outside bank, but let their monthly salary remain and draw it out in small sums. Others take out their salaries and place them in other banks. But this is not done as much as formerly. A number of them got caught in * the Middleton Bank that broke some time ago. Most of the members do all their finan- cial business over the counter of the Con gressional bank, and some of them pile checks up as high as $60,000 in a single session. The employes of the House, 150 strong, are paid off at this bank as a mat ter of accommodation. During the long sessions $60,000,000 pass through the wire wicket of the House bank. NORTH CAROLINA’S GIANT. W. J. Andrews, of Raleigh, had his attention attracted recently to a news paper article on large men, and. in be half of his State he writes him to bring forth Miles Darden and sweep the stakes. North Carolina lays claim to the largest man in the world, and Appleton’s En cyclopedia gives this description of him: “Miles Darden, probably the largest man on record, was born in North Caro lina in 1798, and died in Henderson coun ty, Tennessee, January 23, 1857. He was 7 feet 6 Inches high, and in 1845 weighed 871 ft>S. At his death his weight was a little over 1,000 pounds. Until 1853 he was active and lively, and able to labor, but from that time he was obliged to stay at home, or to be hauled about in a two horse wagon. In 1839 his coat was buttoned around three men, each weighing more than 200 pounds, who walked together in it across the square at Lexington. His coffin was 8 feet long, 35 inches deep, 32 Inches across the breast, 18 inches acros the head, and 14 inches across the foot.” THUE QUEEN OF HOME. Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered snowy Hakes ou her brow, plowed deep furrows on her cheek, but is she not sweet and beautiful now ? The lips are thin and shrunken, but those are the lips which have kissed many a hot tear from the childish cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips in the world; the eye is dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance that can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a dear old mother. The sands of life are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go further and reach down lower for you than any other person on earth. You can not enter a prison whose bars can keep her out! you can hot mount a scaffold to high for her to reach that she may kiss and bless you as an evi dence of her deathless love. When the World shall despite and forsake you: when it leaves ybu by the wayside to perish unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her arms and carry you home and tell you of all your virtues until you almost forget your soul is dis figured by vices. Love her tenderly, and cheer the declining years with holy devotion. ■ • ♦ ■— -—- A Yankee inventor is now in the field with a paper produce which he calls leatheroid, and this marvelous material is now in course of extensive manufact ure by a “leatheroid company’’ in the little country town of Kennebunk, Me. For practical utility the article named bids fair to supplant almost every other material. It Is strictly a chemical pro duct, and for strength and adhesion is said to surpass every thing else. It is as tough as rawhide, and as elastic as whale bone, and is at the same time adaptable to the most supple as well as the most sdlld use. In short, according to report, there is scarcely a manufactured article for which it is not available and superior. It has already been wrought into various things. All tbe delicious extracts are to be had at Lurry's soda fount* AXNOYING BUT COMPLIMENTARY From a Now York Letter. To-day T had a long talk with Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, the author and editor. She is now in receipt of a very liberal salary from George Munro for her valu able services In the editorial manage ment of his Fashion Bazar and Fireside Companion. By the way, this brave and hard working little woman is just at present being somewhat annoyed by du accidental entanglement into which she has unfortunately gotten. It came about in this way : Some time ago an enter prising Chicago publisher urged her to write for him a life of General Lee. She repeatedly refused him, but he persisted. Fiually she agreed to take the job, pro vided the publisher would consent to let her have the book written by another party, she to reyise the manuscript and allow the book to be issued iu her name. With tills understanding she signed the contract. Immediately afterwards Mrs. Bryan learned that owing to ill health it would be impossible for the party on whom sha had counted to write the book, and accordingly informed the pub lisher and asked a release from the bar gain. He positively declines to release her, but on the contrary theatens her now with suit for $250,000 for breach of contract. The grasping gentleman in question is Mr. Eder, publisher of the Liferary Life. In spite pf this aggravation, I found her to-day as bright and pleasant as if noth ing but roses grew in her path. Her present position is so full of promise and pay that It serves to stimulate her against all the vexations in the trying life of a hard working literacy woman in New York. She is only one of the several such earnest, honest, worthy daughters of the south who have bravely taken their stand here, and are holding their places with the heroic courage of their inborn fcpirit, and by the superior excellence of their mental endowment. —f ♦ • In spite of the usual talk about the dilatoriOusness Of Congress, a good deal of work has been quietly accomplished during the session. In tlie House of Representatives 9,125 bills and 178 joint resolutions have been introduced, a larger number of bills than has ever been introduced at any previous session. Of these the House has passed 72 public and 384 private bills—making a total of 456 bills, which is certainly not a bad showing. In the Senate there have been 2,580 bills and 08 joint resolutions intro duced, of which 157 public and 323 pri vate bills have been passed. The House has passed 36 public and 87 private bills which have passed the Senate. Alto gether in the two Houses there have been introduced 11,951 bills and resolutions, of which 979 have been passed by both bodies. The London World says that on Patti’s return to London she found awaiting on her table several pale blue velvet boxes from Lady and Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, the first one containing a brooch about four inches long, representing two large pansies in white brilliants, with nine big blood-red rubies in it; heart all dia monds, and a large rubv in the middle, goes with the brooch; a cigar-box of violet leather, with an inch-wide gold frame, and on • one side “M. Ernest Nicolini;” on the other, “From Mr. Al fred de Rothschild,,” both names all in diamonds and rubies; and sundry other trifles in gold and silver. The Constitution announces authentic ally that the Atlanta brewery and Kim ball House bar will continue their busi ness after the Ist of July. The brewery company claim that they have $150,000 invested, and that the constitution of the United States, which provides that “no citizen of any State shall be deprived of his life, liberty or property without due process of law,” will protect them. They have retained counsel. The Kimball House bar keepers construe the local op tion act as permitting the sale of any wines manufactured in the United States (which includes about all sold in this country), and contend that it is uncon stitutional if it does not allow this scope. It was announced that the Thomas Paine Society of Frederick county, Md., would celebrate the seventy-seventh an niversary of Tom Paine’s death at his house of Aaron Davis, near Frederick; but not a celebrater appeared. Mr. Da vis himself observed the day by not working. He said that, while there were only about a dozen members of the society, there were three or four hun dred believers of the Paine doctrines in the county, but fear of social ostracism or injury to their business caused them to make a secret of their views. ■— • ♦ * Twenty-six years ago Joseph Loth of this city was an invited guest when the Putnam Phalanx of Hartford visited the grave of Gen. Putnam. At that time a subscription paper was circulated to se cure a fund to erect a monument over “Old Putt’s” grave, and Mr. Loth put down his name for $lO. He heard no more about tire monument until last week, when he read that it was about to be erected. Thereupon he made good his su v scriptiou by sending $lO to Adju tant Tyler of the Putnam Phalanx. A student of a Western university ap plied to a leading Kansas druggist for a position as prescription clerk, and about a week ago he received a letter from the druggist, of which the following is a literal extract: “l’erhaps you understand the nature of a Drug Store in kansas we Do Some liquor Business in a Back Room By the Drink our Presciption trade Runs from two to three thousand Pr year Some Clerks objects to the Back Room tradee I Give you the facts in the case So that you will hot be Disappointed.” A woman belonging to one of the oldest families of Derby, Conn., promised her husband before his death that she would wear his ring as long as she lived.
