TKAQKDY IN A CHURCH.
Philadelphia, Nov. 18, — A trage
dy without a paral'el in the hisioiv ol
Ibis or any other city’s ciim wbs en
acted In the Lombard street Protest
ant Episcopal church to day. The
enngregation had assembled, and the
pastor had begun the sermon, when a
mtui of genteel appearance, but with
a wild, uncertain eye, euteied the
church aud sat in ono of the rear
pews. The iHteiruption which his
entrance caused was but slight, and
before the sermon was concluded his
presence was forgotten. When the
benediction was about to be pronounc
| ed, however, he jumped to his feet
and walked to a pew directly behind
the one occupied by Vis. Elizabeth
Sawyers. He hesitated fora me ment
before entering, but finally went in
and assumed a reverential air until
the blessiug was concluded
Nr sooner had tho last winds of the
minister died away than the strangei
quickly drew a derringer pistol from
his pocket, and, mkingdbliherate aim
shot Mrs. Sawyers in the back. There
wt re screams of alarm from the wo
men in the church, and the men, as
soon as they could rece.e 1 ' from the
paralysis which seemed to be upon
them, rushed to wher the Idly had
fallen. The ni n who had fired stood
still t.n a in . liieiit and looked upou his
work, and then coolly leturned the
weapon to his pocket and walked rap
idly out of tlie building. Only one
gentleman—a demon, George Miller—
had presence of mind tu follow him.
hen the assassin quitted ihe
builitii g, he walked rapidly toward
Eleventh and Loin' aid 11 . .i- whore
he was overtaken and uir.-s ed by his
pursu-r-, w o iecoguiz i fee man as
Alexander B. the wounded
woman’s husband. W lien Mr. Miller
asked him the reason for his terrible
conduct, lie made no reply, but began
complaining of his head, and walked
quietly with him to the station.
Meantime Mrs. Sawyers was re
moved to the basement ot the church
The blood from the wound stained
the fi.air as th-j carn’el her along,
and-he seemed to be dying. The ball
an unu ui hy la g • ue, had entered
the k v i ti e hit ui g. The
physician probed fur it, l u was una
bio to 5i and 'lie lodging place. Mis.
Sawyers, rapidly sink n-, was then re
moved to th Pennsylvania hospital,
and is not expected to live through thr
night.
Sawyers is either temporally de
ranged or pretends to I■. N> recson
is assigned for his murderous as au .
It is said that the man i- a monoman
iac on the subject of dyii gin the poor
house, and that he had charged his
wife and two boos with conspiracy to
ruin hint. The event causes great ex
citement and indiu nation.
Bainbridge Deinociat: On last Sun
dity, Nov. llili, and about half past
twelve o’clock, ilie itsid. nee of John
Green, coloted, took tire. At that
John and bis wife were gone
from, lionit and bad leit three small
children securely cosed up in the
bouse. Two of these were burned
entirely up, wb:b. tbe eider of the
three crawled through a hole near tl.e
door and escaped front the awful fate
ot being burned to death. The one
who escaped says “that a coal of fin
popped an some quilts, w < h we<e
laid n front of the hearth, the fire
then caught to !ho beds.” This should
be a warning to parents who are it:
the habit of leaving small children at
hornet will - >ut pours one to take care
of them.
Snei.it Sundays ago, a collection
was about to he taken up ic t ■
church ana iu tin abseuce ot one of
tb c 1 frisky yout g man
volunteered his services, and bat,died
bio bat with great success. When
he got near the door, be was about t<
go out with bis bat full of money on
bis bead, when the minister said s--
emnlv: “Young mn, if you h-av
here with that money you’ll be dam
ned.” fto young man, however, left
m a buriy, and, as be shut the door
behind hire, a worthy old bachelor,
with a voice in F sbaio, who had put
a dollar in the hat, piped uj to the
Miiniater: “Well, if be ain’t gone with
it, I’ll be Yl—n •”

LETTER FROM A/S. STEPHENS .

Washington, Nov. 10 1877. S
Uon. N. L Anyitr , Mayor, Atlan'a,
Gi. —Dear Sir: Your totter request
j ing me to give for publication my
I views upon the capital question, now
agitating the minds of the people of
Georgia, etc., was received several
days ago.
1 have a 100 received eeveral other
letters Irom other perst ns of the same
tenor and stnpnrt.
My answer to you, which, as re
quested, you are at liberty to publish’
will, I trust, be received as an answer
by all my other correspondents on

ively.
In replying to your request you
must allow me, however, to be ex
ceedingly brief. Indeed but for the
repeated appeals made to me fur my
vitws upon this suhje.-t, I should not
say any more upon it than I have of
#bii said before.
For more than twenty-five years I
have, on diveis occasions and in di
vers ways given it as my
opinion that A'lai ta was, and is,
the must suitable of all places in
iur Sta'e for the seat of goemment.
1 am nui and have not teen insen
sible iioin the beginning to the pres
ent state uf the discussion, of the
many* slrcng reasons in favor of Mill
edgevtile, but after fully considering
the pros and cons, I have been for a
long time fixed in my own judgement

Accounts from Peru bring the intel

“A Coii.-KT Litek -l —Some medical
students in one of the colleges of this
city, dissecting a female subject a few
days ago, found whr.t is u lied in doc

lent or hollow is produced in the liv
er, which may be -em very plainly
after the woman is dead and her liv
er’dissected out. This kind of liver
occurs so fiequent'y in women that
physicians have giv- n it the name ol
“corsw ver.” In the subject men

WHAT MADE GEO ROE WASHING
TON LAUGH.
A cheetful view of Washington is
givou in a story onto told by Mrs
Madison to u little girl, who now re
peats it in Lippineo t. “One day in
Philadelphia,” s lid Mrs. Dolly Madi
son, “I was sitting in my parlor with
a veiy dsar frinl, Mrs. R. B. Lee,
when in walked Payne Todd (heron)
dressed in my calico bed-gown
While we were laughing at the figure
he cut, the servant threw open the
door and announced General and Mis.
Washington. What to do with that
dreadful boy 1 didn’t know. He could
not face the President in that garli.—
Neither could he leave tho loom with
out meeting them, f.>r tho door they
were entering was the only one. I
made him crawl quickly under a low,
broad settee vn which 1 tvas sitting.
I had just time io arrange the drapery
when the WaAiiugtous eutered. Af
ter the courtly greeting, and the usual
compiimeuts of 'he season, there came
from uuder the settee a heavy sigh,
whi' h evidently at'racted the General’s
notice. However, I on y talked and
laughed a little louder, hoping to di
vert his attention when—oh, tin !
there came an outcry aud a kick that
couid not be ignored. >Bo I stooped
down and dragged Payne out by the
leg. General Washington’s dignity
left him for once Lm.gli ! Why, fie
fairly roared! He nearly went into
convulsiuus The sight of t tat boy in
that gown, all uo unexpected, coming
wrong end first from under my sea'. -
it war too much.”
A FARMER OUTWIITED.
A fanner who w >s as niggarlly a
man as ever breathed, contrived by
his parsimonious habits to amass
great wealth. He was likewise c< n
scieuceles-1, and scrupled at nothing
thut would add a pound io Ins pile.—
Not far lrom bun lived a shiftless sort
•>f fell, vvs, who Joveil to steal bettei
than to work, ad the farmer said to
him once
“Clem, I will give you a shilling a
bushel for all the potatoes you will
bring me, and I don’t cate w. ere you
get them.”
Clem jumped at the chance, but
H-kod him where ha could get them.
“I don’t care where. Of course
vou will steal them, but that’s none of
my business.”
The bargai was ruck, aud every
night tor u week C.em would dtive to
'he farmer’s house with a load ot pu
tntoes, cany them into the cellar, and
leceivo Ins pay f i then*. At length
he ael.ed him where he got them.
“Stole ’em.”
“Where del you steal’em, Clem?”
“Oil, up in your si l- hi 1 lot,” re
plied th other, whi e a gut* took pos
session of his face.
He got aiiy in time to save his
back, but that farmer hasn't bargain
ed with him since to steal anything.
GEN GORDON.
We find this, in reference to our dis
tinguished Senator, iu the Capital, a
news-paper published in Washington
city, for a late c py of which we are
indebted to the Hon. W. E. S.xii h :
“We are gra'ified to learn, from the
almost unanimous testimony o I t'i>
Georgia pre-s, that the tendency ot
the canvass for the legislature now
pending in tha S ale is to assure the
le-elcvtiou ot General Gordon to Ihr
Senate. The South always understood
the secret of power in deliberative
bodies, and acted upon it by re-elec
mg its representative men as long a.-
they were phy-ical y aide to perform
the functions of t.ffioe. No Southern
senator has greater power and
toati Gordin. No other man who
might be et< eted could hope'o rep ace
him in the estini ition ot his ol eugui-s
and of the whole country. He is in
the prime of life an at tl e threshold
of th.it commanding infßa .ce whi. h
o h ng but e-peiier.ce c n toing to a
member of the Sena : e. Georgia,
wti ct' 's thoEmpir State of the South,
could ill afford to displace Go’don.—
lna; her people a:e awan of this tact
ts attested by the press reports of the
progress of the canvass to which e
have alluded.”
That is a curious custom winch it
seems e'ists in Washing’ou whereby
a ew president is moved, when hr,
first signs a joint resolution ot cot
gre.-s, to present the pen witlr wliirb
tie signs it to the member of congre-e

HOW THE TEX AH COW BOY LIVES.
A letter from San Antonio, Texas,
to the New Orleans Democrat says*
One of the distinctive features of
i Western Texas is the cow-boy, so call
ed. Heretofore there have been bul
few inclosed pastures. The cattle anil
ho'ses have ranged at will over the
praties, aud when a norther prevails
they become widely scattered. When
the spring of the year returns, then a
dozen or more of the young men of a
neighborhood mount their mustangs'
taking each a spare horse, the com*
piny having several sumpter horses,
and scour the prairies for many miles,
sometimes fifty or sixty in one direc
tion. These excursions last about ten
days or two weeks. They bivouac at
night cook their eeldom
enter a house, drink of
black, toffee, generally without sugar,
kill a yearling when they need meat,
and are truly rough and ready riders.
This kind of life seems to have an in
expressible charm for the young men"
It is an exciting scene to see them in
full chase, with their lariats whirling
over their heads, ],their murtan'js as
much excited by the race as them
selves. From this school caries the
noted Texas ranger, and it would be
hard to find a belter training for a
cavalry soldier. Their sp’ondid quali
ties were exhibited on many hard
fought fields during our late unpleas
antness.

The X\hnny m Adcer!itr learns of a
dreadful accident that occurred on the
Brunswick and Albany railroad a few
days ago, in which Mr G. B.
a machinist, was petbaps ta’ally inju

lar saw. A negro laborer at the mill
walked by him, saw him sitting in
front of the saw engaged ut his work,
aud deliberately started the engine.—
In an instant the machinery was iu
motion. The saw started upon its
rapid revolution, cut Mr. Wilson in
the leg, saw>ug through the
throwing him over the saw and cutiog
deep gashes in his thigh and Bhoul

the b.me and leaders being exposed.—
He is not expected to survive this ter

in the Rome Sentinel: —The gentle

to see that his horse had been pr>per

The reculectiou that the egg was still
