Hayes Speech ttl AlfaifUi.
The followirg is the speech made
i y President Hayes, at his reception
at Atlanta, last week.
“Feilow-citizetis rf Georgia, my
friends of Georgia : I regret that by
reason of a slight cold taken a day or
two ago in a rain storm in East Ten
nessee, njy voice is not in a condition
to lie heard in the first lew sentences
of my address by any considerable
portion of this vast aadience; hut if
you will hear with me, I expect in a
very lew minutes I shall make myself
head The di v before yesterday, at
Chattanooga, I met a committee of
your citizens, w lio desited me and
urged me to extend, wit.i the party
accompanying me, our trip to your
beautitul and prosperous city. We
w. rb all very desirous to accept that
icvitstiou.. We felt that, extended as
it was, it w as a V-ity gr. at honor to us
individually. We lelf that it would
be a very great pleasure to meet you
at your homes, but our arrangements
had beer made, and I supposed it
was out of the question to extend the
trip. Happily our railroad lriends as
sured us that by riding all of lust
night we should be able to viit Atlan
ta, and at once 'hose who were health
ier and stronger of the praty, urged
bv those of tite other sex, consented
to come, and now we are here. I
wish to say, in a single sentence, we
are glad to be here [Applause.] The
very eloquent, add less to which ve
have listened, especially the v. ry en
couraging sta ements we hearit from
the Governor of Georgia, are hearty
of themselves, greeted as they have
been and endorsed by the applause of
this audience, and so great a gratifi
cation that I would not, any ac
count have misjed the pleasure I have
felt this morning. [Cheers ] I suppose
that here, as every** here else, I am in
the presence of men of both of the
great political parties. I am speaking
in the presence of citizens of both ra
ces. lam qui’e sure there are before
me very many of the brave men who
fought iu the Confederate army [ap
plause], and some doubtless of those
who fought in the Union army [ap
plai.se], and here we ere, Republicans
and Democrats, colored people and
w hite people, Donfedei ate soldiers and
Union soldiers, all of one mind and
one heart to-day; [immense cheering]
and why st on and we not be’r What (s !
there to separate us longer. ith
out any f .nlt of yours < r any fault of
mins or any fault of aiTy one ot thi
great aud ence slave y exis’ed n this
coun'ty. It was in the t’onstiiution
of theconntiy. The colored man was
here n t by his own voluntary action.
It was the misfortune of his fattiets
he was here. 1 think it safe to say it
was by c.itno that the fathers were
here. He was here, however, and we
of Ihe two sections differed about
what should be done with him. As
Mr. Lincoln told us in the war;
"There were prayers on both sides for
him.” Both sides found in the Bible
confirmation of their opinions Both
sides finally undertook to settle Hie
question by that last final means of
arbitration—the fotce of arms. You
here m truly joined the Confederate
side and fought bravely, and risked
your lives heroically in behalf of your
convictions What troubles our peo
p o at the North? What has troubled
them? Were they afraid that these
colored people, who had been made
free by the wat, would not be safo in
their right* and in "rests in the douth,
unless it Was by t © interference of the
General Government? Many good
people had that idea. I had given
that matter some consideration, and
now my coloted fiends, who have
thought, or who have been to and I was
turning try back upon the uien whom I
fought f >r, now isten After think
ing it over, I behoved yoar rights anti
interest? wo tld be safet if this gieat
mass of Intel igent men weie let alone
by the General Gov rnrami. [lm
mense enthusiasm and cheering, last
ing for severnl minutes ] And now,
my colored friends, let me my another
thing. We have been trying it for
six a onths„and in uiy opinion for no
six months, since the war have there
been so lew outrages and invasions .1
jour rights, nor yon so secure in vonr
fights, than in the last six months
[G'eat cheering ] Now, my iricads,
I see i' stated oceaGonal'y that Presi
dent Hayes haH taken the course he
has because he wa compelled [Voice
“YVe don’t believe it.] How was I
compelled to it? [Applause] I was
compelled to it by mv sense of duty
uuder the oath of office. [lntense en
thusiasm and cheers.] VN hat was
done by us was done, not merely by
the force of pecial circumstances, but
because we believed it was right and
just to do it. Now, let U“ come togeth
er. Let each man make up bis uund
to be a patriot in his own home and
place. You may quarrel about tbe
tariff, get up a sharp contest about the
currency, about the removal of the
State capital, but upon the great ques
tion of the Union of tits States and the
right* of .-1 citizens, we shall agree
forever mote ” [Great cheers ]

TEMPTtD ItV MT,l\
■low Ono Dobson was Induced
lo liiss it bill laainsl Her
Will.
1 At Wilkesbarie, Pennsylvania, the
dull mouotony of the court proceedings
was eulivened one day last week in
the case of the'Couinonwealth against
Dobson, in whicfi the defendant was
accuse cf assault upon u young lady
named Helter, by kissing her against
tier will. The plaitilf complained
that Dobson, “l.y force of arn;s, in til
ice aforethought, and instigated tiy
the devil, did then and there violently
assault, waylay,” etc. She toll her
story in a plaiD, s raightfwi ward kind
of way, to the effect that she was en
joy ng the evening breezes while lean
ing ever her tailier’s fence, and that i
William Dobson came along, seized
tier by the hands, and forcibly pu ling
her over the palisade, committed tiie
assault for which she claimed tediess
at the hands of the law. A sister
ol the complainant testified that she
did not see the alleged impropriety,
be> uuse ol the darkness, and she being
in another part of the yard, hut she
heatd a kiss, or something thatsounl
ed like a kiss, and kuew ‘.hut some
thing was going on.
Dobson claimed the privilege of be
ing bis own witness, and he td and ihe
part ol the story omitted by Miss
Helter am-’ her sister. He is a jolly
specimen of an Englishman. His
nairative of the occurrence in which
he kad become involved runs as fol
lows :
Dobson—“You see Y> r ’onors, I was
waiking along, s ; ‘VTbdtwill the
’nrvest tie’ —”
(fen. McCartney (counsel for plain
tiff, disposed to have some fun while
Confusing • the witness) —‘ You were
singing ‘ W hat will the ’urvest be?’”
(jlosely imitating i ha intonation of the
witness).
Del son (very composedly—“Yi*,
sir, ‘What will the ’atvest be?’”
Gen. McCartney “What will the
’arvest be?”
Dobson (unruffled) —“What will
tbe ’urvest he?”
Gen McCartney—“Weff, ‘go ou,
fill.”
Dobson—“Yer see, yer ’onors I was
going along singing ‘YVhat will the
’aive-t be?‘ when I heard Mary sing
ing ‘ Wnat wili toe ’arvest be?’ ”
Gen. McCai tney—“She was sing
ing ‘ W hat will the ’arvest be ?’ ”
By this time there were decided ev
idences of meiriment all over the
court room; hut Dobs n remained as
imperturbab e as though officiating at
a funeral.
Dobson—“Yes, sir. She were siug
iu’ ‘What will the ’arvest be,’ but not
so lend as 1 was, and I called ou*,
’Hallo, Mary are that you?’ an ! she
said it he. I went up to the fence,
and she s id she were hall hulone,
has ’er father ’ad gone to ’class’”
Gen McCartney- “Gone to : class!
What did she mean by that? ’
Dobson —“Why, any fool knows
what ‘class’,means. Her father had
gone to class meeting, and left her
hall halone. We chatted a littlo, and
then”
Gen McCartney —“ A’ell, you hate
heard her tesum ,ny. You seiz-’d her,
pull© 1 her Over the fence; and kissed
her ?”
Dobson-.‘No That testimony is
false. We talked awhile, and she
sort o’ leaned hover the fence -like as
it she Wanted uia to—and just then
Satan got the best of me ar:d 1 kissed
’er right con the mouth. I found out
'What the ,arvest be,’ ami I think she
was a heasy prey.”
Hi te the gravity of the court, coun
selois and spectators gave way, anti
seldom in a court, of justice has there
been such a scene of uncontrollable
hiUnousn ss. Judge Harding fair y
maul himself ) oarse with laughter,
and all business was suspended lor
several minutes to allow those in tbe
court roum to tecover their equanimi
ty. Dobson was actqutiteu of the
charge ol assault, but must pay half
tbe cost of the suit as his share of the
“’arvest.”
A Gihl Duowned in a Cure* or
Watch — A most singular fatal ac/i
dent occutred at tbe town of Crofhn,
near New Castle, the other day.—
Ann Eliza Weisner, a young Miss of
eleven years, s'arted to go to the
spring house at her mother’s residence
for butter and milk for supper. She
did not teturn as so' u as expected,
anil her mother followed to see what
detained her. Arriving near the
spring house, Mis V\ eisu* r wns sur
prised to find her daughter lying fi t
on the ground, with her face hutied in
a cn ck of water, and was terribly
shocked wlieu on raising her up the
young uirl was found to I" dead.
Miss Weisner was. in perfect health,
uevei had a falling fit of any kind,
and the only manner *n which the sad
accident can be acounted for is that
she stumbi, and and tel, her head sink
ing the crock with such foree that the
blow rendered her insensible and pow
erless, aud CliHt her lace being buried
in the water, she drowned. The
wound or mark of violence was a
bruise on the nose, which, while not
sufficient to cause her death, might
have stunned her so that she was un
able to tolp herself. The crock in
which Miss Weisner was drowned was
an ordinary flat two gal on crock, and
had been s> t un ler the eve of the
spring house roof to catch soft water.
—Pittsburg Ltader, 2 Wh.
“How much are those tearful bulbs
by the quart?” asked a maiden Gt a
tiadesmau, the other morning. Lie
s-aiod at her a moment, as if bewild
ered, but soon recovered mmself, ami
bluffly said, “0! them inyuns? Ten
p nee.”
Interrupted Table 'talk.
The other evening, says the Burl
ington Free Press, the Rev. Mr, Philae
ter sat down a* the lea tablfi witli a
[ very thoughtful air, and attended to
the wants of his brood in a very ab
stracted manner. Presently he looked
up at his wife and said;
“The Apostle Paul”
j Got an awful lump oft the head 'saf- |
tor-noon,” broke in the pastoi’s eldest .
son, “pEying base ball. Bat flew out
of the striker’s hands, when I was j
umpire, and cracked rue right above .
the ear an’dropped me. Hurt ? Golly !”•
and the lad shook his head in dismal
but expressive pantomime as be ten- I
deriy rubbsd a lump that looked like
a billiard ball with hair on it. The
paßto. - gruve'y paused for the inter
ruption/and resumed:
“The Apostle Raul"
“Saw Mrs. CrGheminie down at
Greetihaum’s this afternoon,” said his
eldest daughter, addressing her moth
er. “She had the same old everlast
ing black silk, ma e ever with a vest
ot tilleul green silk, coat tail basque
pattern, overskirt made with diagonal
folds in front, edged with deep fiinge;
yellow straw bat, with black velvet
facing inside the brim, and pale blue
j flowers. Site’s going to Chicago.”
The good minister waited patiently,
‘ and then, in tones just a shade louder
than befnro/teaid :
“The Apostle Paul”
“Went in swimmin’ last night with
Hemy aud Ben, pop, and stepped on a
clam shell,” oxclaimed his youngest
6on; “Gut uiy feat so I can’t wear uiy
shoe; and, please, can’t I slay borne
to-morrov* ?”
The pastor informed his son that
he might stay away from the river,
and then resumed his topic He said:
“ i he Apostle Paul says”
“My teacher is an awful liar,” shou
ted the second son; “hesays the w-rld
is as round as an orange, and it turns
round all the time lister 'ban a circus
man can ride. I guess lie huiu’t got
much sense.”
The mother lifted a warning fingef
toward tli© boy and said. “Sh!” and
tbe father resumed;
“The Apostle Paul says”
“Don’t bite off twice as much a* yon
cah chew,” broke out the eldest son,
reproving the assault of hi* little broth
er on a piece of cake. The pastor’s
face showed just a trifle of annoyance
as he said in veiy firm, decided tones:
“The Apostle Paul says”
“There’s a fl* in the butter !” shri' fe
ed the yohngedt hopeful in the
and a general laugh followed. When
silence was restored the eldest daugl -
ter, with nn aif of Curiosity, said:

A Little Delay Fatal.
it is well known tfiat Julius Cooiar
might have escaped assassination in
the senate chamber if he had tead de
libera'fely a letter put in his hands by
one informed of the conspiracy. The
qaine fact is true of one or two of the
French monarchs who perished by
the bssassffr’s knife. But the delay
of a few hours to open Ihese impor
tant fetters rendered escape impossi
ble.
We have never seen tho following
incident before, but it is vouched fur
by V . McCbesney, of Trenton a re
liable authority.
The success of Washington at
Trenton has been generally consider
ed as the turning puiht iu the war of
inderendenoe.
Yet few persons are a ware upou
how slight an event this critical ac
tion was made to hinge. On the
Chris'mas eve, when Washington
crossed the Delaware, 001. Rah), the
commander of the Hessians at Tren
ton, engaged in drinking aud playing
catds
A Troy, who had discovered the
movements of the An.ericn troops,
sent a note special messenger to
tile colonel, wit h Disorders to delivei
it into his own bauds.
The messenger found the way to
the house, and a negro opened but
refused him admittance, took the let
ter and delivered it to the colonel,
who was just shuffling for anew
game.
Supposing the letter to be unim
portant, or not stopping to think at
all, he went ou wilh his ply. The
reading of the letter would have
thwarted the des'gn of Washington;
Lut the love of play conquered the
colosel’s prudence and gave sutcess to
a worthier cause, involving the loss
of ins life and army, and untiniately
the freedom of the colonies. Little
did the cclouel think when he was
shuffling those car Is, that he was
losing tiie greatest that was ev
er played among th® nations of earth.
Two Dutchmen not long since had
occasion to go to a blacksmith’s on
busimss, and, finding the smith a! -
seat from the shop, they concluded to
go to the house. Having reached the
door, said one to the other “Cotoe, Hau
nse, you a* about dc smit.” “Nsin,
naio,” said the other.'“hut you can
te'l so belter s I can.” “Veil, den,
so I knocks.” The mistress of the
house came to the doot. Haunse then
inquired, “Is de smit tuiiin?” “Sir,”
said the woman. “Is ds smit mitin?”
“1 cannot understand you,” said the
woman. Haunse thou bawled out,
“Vot de debit, I say is de smit u.iiin ?”
The other Dutchman, perceiving that
the woman could not understand
•Haunse, stepped up and pushed him
anide, and said, “Let a man come up
what can say some Ling- la do blac <-

Fatal Halt*'snake’a Bite.

Thursday of last week, while a num
ber of colored persons, b' th male and
female, were digging for medical roota
in the Bee Tree range ol Craggy
Mountain, one of their number,named
lilviia S-neca, better know as Yira
Lyttle, was struck by a rattlesnake on
her right leg, just below the kneo.—
Iler ecreames brought several persona
to her side, who killed the snake, and
then rendered all the aid in their pow
er. With the view of keeping the
p'.ison front cotfimuni&atiug with her
body, a cord was tightly tied around
the wounded limb, just above the knee.
They then starded for the Dearest set
tlement, about three miles off, the wo
man walking. When about Lai# way
she became exhausted, and had to bo
carried. When they arrived at the
nearest house some whiskey was pro
cured, and about a quart and a pint
administered, but without beneficial
(’ffect. In a short time the poison
penetrated her entire system, and she
was a fiightful object to behold; her
body was swollen to twice its natural
s>2e, and her legs and arms were puf
fed to double their ordinary propor
tions. In tliis condition the woman
survived twenty-tour hours, during
which time she suffered the most ter**
i ible agony.

“Now, John, listen to me, for I art
older than you, or I couldu’t be your
mother. Never doyou marry a young 1
woman; John, before you have con
trived to happen at the house wbera
she lives at least four or Bye times
before breakfast. You should know
hew late she lies in bed in the morn
ing. You should take note whether
Lor complexion is the same in the
morning as it is in the evening, or
whether the wash and towel have
robbed her of her evening bloom
You thould take care to surprise her,
so that you can sse her morning dress,
and obsetve how her hair looks when
she is not expecting Jon. If possi
ble you slum and t>e where you can
hear the morningconVefsation between
tier and her mother. If she is ill
natured and snapieh to' her mother, so
she will be to depend upon it.—
But ii you find her up and dressed
neatly in the morning, with the same
countenance, the same smile, the neat
ly combed hair, the same ready and
pleasant an-weisto her mother which
charactei izod her deportment in the
evening, and if she is lend
ing a hand to get breakfast ready iu
good season, she is a prize, John, and
the sooner you secure her to yourself
