Hinton of Wilkes county for murder—will bo apt to prove a boomerang and recoil upon their own heads. The populist speak ers have ( hinged that Hinton was par doned because ho was a democrat, but ns it turns out he was a populist, ns was all who were implicateTl in the murder. Hinton turned state’s evidence against the others who were charged with the murder of the negro, and it was on tins ground that ho received a pardon. Mr. Watson defended one of the parties, and in his speech declared he did not believe ti in ton knew any thing about the murder; and yet,now that the campaign is on, and it seems to suit liis purpose, he at'aeks Gov Atkinson for granting the pardon. M. P. Reuse and F. H. Colly, who were attorneys in the case, have writ en a card in the ease, in which they say that Mr. Watson had full no tice of the application for Hinton's pardon, he had all the facts of the tri al before him, ho know that one of the state’s council had promised to use his endeavors in Hinton’s behalf if he told the truth and aided in the con viction of the guilty parties—and yet, knowing all this. Mr. Watson made no objection whatever to the pardon be ing granted. It was not uu.il the cam paign began that he thought the Gov ernor had done such an awful thing. The colored people of the state, as a rule are going to vole for Governor Atkinson—they know he has been a true friend to their race and sought to do them justice always. The Populist speakers realize this fact, and hence their puny attempts to draw oft'the colored vot by these flimsy and base less charges.—Svlvania Telephone. Sam Jones says •'!( seems that fu sion with vhe populist is Bryan’s 01 ly chance. The outlook is not tirts c’a'S for fusion. I believe the populist par ty is the most iukomogenious, unmix able auti-stick-together crowd iu the universe. 1 would sooner attempt to climb a ladder with an armful of eels and get to the top with all of them as to try to fuse anything with the populist.” H. W. I teed has tendered his resig nation as president of National Bank of Brunswick, and has joined Tom Watson and proceeds with him to Pal las. Texas, where Watson is to deliver an address.

H the representatives of the people saw tit to pass a prohibi tion law which violated constitutional •provision or existing law, then it would not l>e p oper for an exercise of veto power on he part of the Gover nor. \ liny c.xl .Tireo CJ il l ISabics.

In the September Review of Re views the editors discusses the ditl'er ent phases of the Presidential cam paign—especially the revolt of the gold standard Demoeratc, the attitude of the attitude ol the Eas tern wage-earners towards Mr. Bryan, and the spread of tree silver doctrine nmorig the fanners. Another impor tant topic of discussion in the depart ment of the “The Progress of the World," is 1 >rd Saulsbury’s Venezue lan proposition, iu connection with the general scheme for a permanent tribunal of arbitration. The editor also covers most of the strikmg devel opments of the month in British and Eu opean pol'iies. The Te.cea News has changed its size and make-up, and explains itse.f iu the following way : “We would like to run a large paper in Toceoa tutt cannot do it at :< continual loss. The merchants here,with a few exceptions, do no patronize the paper, and hence forth Toceoa, like other towns of no importance, be represented by ft paper tally as large as the town’s progressive i spirit. - ’ THE TALE OF TWO COiNS. They Were In Jetf Xiavls’ Pos.-ension When lia Wat* Captured. General Nathan Church, the Mich igan representative of tho quartet of old staff officers, who rose from cap tain to colonel of the famous Twen ty-sixth Michigan, and then to as sistant adjutant general and chief of staff under General Miles, showed with much pride while in Washing ton a $5 goldpioce that has a won derful history. When General Church’s regiment was to ho mus tered out in 18G5, General Miles re quested tho war department to al low him to rotain his chief of staff in tho service, which requost was granted, and for six months after his regiment had gone homo and until he declined to remain longer Gen eral Church was with General Miles at Fort Monroe, their principal duty being to guard their distinguished prisonor of war, Jefferson Davis. When captured, Mr. Davis had in his pocket the goldpioce in question nnd a Mexican silver dollar. Gen eral Church procured other similar pieces and effected an exchange for the two found in Mr. Davis’ pocket. Ho retained tho goldpioce and gavo the dollar to Major Black, tlio Da kota member of tho four who were present at the recent oxercisos, and who had been his tent mate. A few months thereafter Major Black was showing his famous dollar at an evening gathering, passing it from ono to another, when it suddenly dis appeared, and ho has over since mourned for liis lost treasure. General Church had bettor luck, however, with liis goldpioce, and, while ho occasionally’ exhibited it to his friends, oarriod it us a much prized pocket pioco for 25 years, when he suddenly discovered that ho had unintentionally paid it out instead of another similar pieou of money he carried with it, hut to whom ho had not tho slightest recol lection. Ho promptly directed tho cashier of his bank to lay asido any $5 gold pieces bearing tho date of 1857 that might pass through hia hands in tho course of business, thinking there might bo possibly ono chance in a million that tho val uable keepsake would some time mako its appearance. Six weeks afterward an old fanner dropped in and made a small deposit, when tho cashier said to Mr. Church, “Hero, soo if that’s tho goldpieco you are looking for. ” Ho took it and was overjoyed to find tho distinguishing marks ho had placed upon tho coin when it first loft Mr. Davis’ pocket and found its way to his own. Since then tho precious piece has boon kept carefully wrapped and safely secured against another disappear ance. While in Paris flvo or six years ago General Church was a guest one evening at tho homo of a wealthy family who had formerly resided in New York. In soino way- tho hostess learned that ho had helped to guard Mr. Davis whilo ho was a prisoner of war, and sho said, with much ap parent satisfaction, “I have a Mexi can dollar that was taken from Mr. Davis’ pocket at that time, which I value very highly.” Without betraying tho anxioty ho felt, Mr. Church asked when and where sho obtained it and was told that it had had beon presented to tho lato President Andrew Johnson whilo ho occupied tho White House, and that she being his near relative it had fallen to her on tho distribu tion of his valuables after President Johnson’s death. General Church had no opportunity or inclination then to explain what ho knew 7 of tho old relic, but he has now had an opportunity to personally tell Major Black where his long lost dollar is, and ho, too, may, like General Church, eoruo in duo timo into pos sosdon of his own.—Washington Post. lleady Made Mortar. Lighterngo business about tbo har bor of Now York has beon considor nbly damaged by a now labor saving device in the building trade. It used to bo that many lighters were em ployed in transporting from point to point tho sand and lirno that go to the making of mortar. Anew con corn, howover, is now sending down scowloads of ready mixed mortar from Cow bay. This mortar, of threequalties, is ladled out into iron carts and sent to all parts of the city where building operations are going on, and tho lighters aro less and less employed for carrying tho materials that go to tho making of mortar.— New York Sun. Light and Sleeping. Don’t sleep with eyes facing the light is a caution given by all occu lists. A tost by closing tho eyes when facing tho light quickly shows that tho strain is only lessened, not removed, and tho interposition of an adequate shade is as grateful to tbo shut eyes as when they aro open. It is sometimes necessary iu a small room to have the bed face the win dow, but even then, by moans of shades rolling from the bottom in stead of from tbo top, the window may lie covered to tho few inches left free for the passage of air.— Now York Times. feMTJ PfSgjjN i brand.
