DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21 1878
Jealousy—a Marrird Haifa
Cruel Error.
lis the old, old story, with varia
tions. The scene of the first act is
laid in the vicinity of New Rochelle,
where a re-idonce was purchased Inst
season by a wealthy young business
man of this city. He hail ouly been
eighteen months a Benedict, and his
marital life was nearly perfect. In
addition to his wife, his household in
cluded the housekeeper, a widow, and
her daughter, the housemaid.
So fur aa known, the widow was
not one of the sort against whom the
elder Weber warned Weller, junior,—
Her sin ;f sin it be, was that she was
ttm mother of a very saucy, handsome
and somewhat bee-thinking daughter.
This daughter tad many admirers,
and, as a matter of fact, she bad a
habit of meeting at least one of her
lovers hy appointment in Naw York.
She corresponded with her lover, and
for the add roes of her letters she com
bined her name with the last name cf
her mistress. So long as she was careful
to receive ail letters for the family, in
person, no trouble resulted.
But one fatal day the master of the
house was detained in the morniug
later than usual, and happened to be
at ihe door when the postman came.
What was this? A letter directed in
a bold but masculine hand to Miss
Lucy Austin. What did it men?—
Was ids wife ma.-querading as an un
married woman, with a change „f her
Hist name ? Iu a suOden fit of jeal
ous torror he t re the letter open, The
writer asked tier to meet him at Mal
lard’. at >wu o’clock (hat afternoon.—
The demon had entered his soul, but
he decided to wait till the appended
uour, ai.d then conlroti her in the
piesence <d hei paramour. Assurance
oecame doubtiy sure when, on bid
ding in wii good- 1 ye for the day,
she asked >iui tor some money, as
she was going o town to do some
shopping- The wronged husband, a
littie before two o’clock, entered Mail
lard’s and took a secluded seat in toe
rear. While waiting the coming of
the faise wife and er lover, heengaged
in conversation with one of the young
women in at endanee. He pliel her
with que tions as to the ladies who
were in the habit of doming at that
hour. To his horror he was informed
i bore wa*> a lady who frequently met
a gentleman at two o'clock.
“Is tins the one?” he asked, tragic
ally, pulling his wife’s photograph
from his pocket
“Oh, no,” was the reply, “this is
not ttia one.”
At this very instant his wife, as it
by some strange futility, entered the
place and soatan heiself at one end
of the tables. She had been shopping
was tired, and catne in for some light
refreshment.
Unable longer to contain himself,
and toreetting tbe destroyer of his
ojppine'9 had not yet appeared, he
rushed forward to where his wife was
sitting, rudely puked her from her
sear, upbr.ided her in the incoherent
ravings of a maniac, and then drag
ged the terrified woman into the
street, thiuet her into the carriage, or
dered the bioferann to take her home,
and lh' n stalked away meditating
dire vengeance.
That night when he went home his
wile was gone. She had packed up
b< r things and had gone home to he r
mother, who is a pro i.in-nt lady liv
ing on the West side
In due course of time she brought
suit for divorce on the greund of cru
elty. Ho entered a counter suit,
charging her with infidelity.
He left his housekeeper and her
daughter in charge of the house at
New Rochel'e, uni! has been living in
the city during the winter.
A few days ago he had occasion to
-visit his suburban establishment. It
was a kind fate that sent him there.
By a singular coincidence the postman
came while he was there. There was
a letter tc “Hist Lucy Austin,” in the
same accursed hand as that which had
ruined his life. What could it mean?
He tore it open. The contents were
almost a duplicate of the first. While
he was still reading it the housemaid
picked up the entelope which had fal
len from his hand. “That is my let
ter!” she scieamed, suddenly suateh
ing it from his hand.
‘ Your letter, miserable girl! Wbat
do you mean ?”
She could not speak from confusion
but terrified beyond measure by his
looks and words, she finally confessed
she had been in the habit of meeting
the writer of it at Maillard’s.
“God forgive me !” he ejaculated,
as he rushed wildly to the telegraph
office, whence he sent a message to
his wife, telling her the secret whs di
vorcod. On the next train he flew to
her at ms.— Neu> York Sun.
Unb Toombs and ilie Yuukee.
The New York Star relates the fol
lowing incident whi -h it says occured
just after Gen. Toombs made his great
speech on slavery in Boston, on the
26th, of January, 1856:
“One Cultus, a Boston man, thought
hecould make thejoraor betray himself,
and took occasion to approach him in
ttie midst of a great crowd at the Rev-
ere house, so as to have witnesses.
‘‘You are Senator Toombs,’’ he said.
“I am,” said the great Bob.
“I have no doubt your ouiinent po
sition will compel you to give a true
answer to a question, even if it should
criminate yiur section?”
“Try me,” said Bob. with a twinkle
in his eyes.
“Sir,” said the long-faced and long
haired philanthropist, “I am informed
that in Georgia, your own state, t..ey
ac'ually work u< gres to the plow in
thepla'eof horses, and I rely upon
you to substantiate or contra ict it.”
Toombs said: “I will answer you
Yankee fashion, by asking you anoth- j
er question: “Do you know what a
likely negro man or boy costs?”
“Oh, yes,” said Philo. “I am in
formed of your dreadful customs, and
the ptice of human blood is from j
S9OO to $1,500.”
“Will you take Hi,ooo as fair?” said
Toombs.
“Yes sir,” said the mas in search
of his brother.
“Well,” said Toombs, “a fair plow
team is two mules, with us. How
many negro meti would you think it
would take to do the work o! two
good mules?
The m m pondered. He said; “1
should say about ten to a mule, or
twenty to a team.”
Toombs said: “A mule costs from
SIOO to $l5O A team S3OO. Your
negro team will cost just $20,000.
The man gave an angry j m of hia
hat over ns ears, and went out ejacu
lating, "I might have known it was 0
lie.”
The Ispkkad of Intid: lity. —The
great excitement at ttie North at the
present time is over the question of
eternal punishment. Beecher takes
the ground against eternal punish
ment and attempts to prove that the
Bible only intends limited punishment.
Rev. De Witt Talmage and other
orthodox j reachers cite many passa
geß from the scriptures showing that
the meaning intended is nothing else
than an endless and eternal punish
ment. To show how rife is the spirit
of atheism, R. J. Ingersoll, an open
and avowel infidel, is lecturing in
New York to immense audiences. He
ridicules the Bible and scounts foe
idea of fulure punishment in any
shape. Crowds, una le to gain ad*
mission to his lectures, are turned
Bway every time he has anappointmeiit
to speak. Ch.istians are justly
alarmed a" the rapid spread of false
and fallacious doctrins throughou the
land. Th- human mind is naturally
too skeptical anyhow, and the sacro
ligious utterance of Ingersoll and
such mt-n are woi king much harm.—

Worm Rail Fences
The rails should be 10 feet long;
the base should be from 5 foet 6 to 5
feet 10 inches, laid to the tip of the
rail; always tun up hi)! ; six stakes is
enough (three on each side) to run
anywhere, by moving up the two
hindmost, as required. Buch a fence
requires 5 rai's to the yard, or
500 to every 100 yards. By this
rule JKdu may alwis tell
how many rails will he re
quired to fence any piece of land.—
Step it all ronnd One square acre, or
70 yards on every side, will require
1,400 rails; four aores w 11 take ’/.SO©
.rails; sixteen scree 5,600, and so on.
Th number of rails to each acre will
deeiease until, at about 50 miles
square, it will only require one rail to ;
each acre, and at 200 miles square
one rail will fence 3£ acres. Old-fie'd
pine rails will last about seven years;
poles, four years. All kinds of sap
timhor is nearly on an equality. Some
heart timber will last longer than oth
ers—chestnut, for example; that will
last always “for daddy tried it twice.”
He Was Auxin, to Wed.
Tho afternoon S6rvic n had ended,
and tho congregation was arranging
themselves for the benediction, when
tho parson descended from the pnl| it
to the desk below, and said, iu a tmloi,
clear voice :
“Those wishing to be united in the
holy bonds of matrimony wil 1 now
please come forward.”
A deep stillness instantly fell over
the congregation, broken only by the
rustling of the silk, as some pretty
1 girl or excited matron changed her
: position to catch the first view of the
I couple to be married. No one, how
! ever, arose, or seemed in tho least in
| caned to rise. Whereupon the wor
i thy clergyraau deeming the first not
ice unheard or misunders.ood, re
[ peatpd:
“Let tnose wishing to be united in
the holy bonds of matrimouy naw
come foi ward.”
Still no one stirred. The silence
became almost audible, and a painful
sense of awkwardm ss among those
present was felt, when a young man,
■\ ho%ccupied a vacant seat in the
broad aisle during the service, slowly
arose and deliberately walked to the
foot of the alter. He was good look
ing and well dressed, but no female
accompanied him. When he arrived
within a respectful distance of the
clergyman he paused, and with a rev
erent bow stepped to one side of the j
aisle, but neither said anything, nor i
seemed at all d'seonoerted at the idea j
of being married alone.
The clergyman looked anxious'y
around for the biide, who, he sup
posed, was yet to arrive, and at
length remarked to the young man,
in an undertone:
“The young lady, sir, is dilatory.”
“Yes, sir ”
“Had you uot better defer the cer
emony?”
“I think not.” #
“Do yeu suppose she will be here
sot ti ?”
“I, sit?” said the young man; “how
should I know ot the lauy’s move
ments?”
A few moments were allowed to
elapse iu this unpieasint state of ex
pectancy, when tho clergyman renew-
ed his intorrngations.
‘Did the lady prom : se to attend at
the pcesent hour, sir?”
“Wfiat lady ?”
•‘Why, the lady, to be sure, that
you are waiting here foi ?”
“I did no* hear her say anything
about it,” was the unsatisfactory re
sponse.
“Then, sir, may I ask you why you
are here, and for what purpose you
thus trifle in the sanctuary of the
Most High?” -aid the somewhat en
raged clerical.
“I came, sir, simply because you
invited ad 'hose wishing to be united
in the holly bonds of matrimony to
step foi ward, and l happened to en
t rt'in such a wish. lam sorry to
have misunderstood you, sir, and I
wish you a very good day.”
The benediction was uttered in a
solemnity of tone very little in accor
dance wi-h tlia twitching of the fac
ial nerves, and when, after the church
was olosed, the story got amongst the
congregation, more than one gill re
gretted that the young man who real
ly wished -0 he uuired in the holy
bonds of matrimony had been obliged
to depart without a wife

Bum a, Ala , February 4. —On the
26. h of January John Hunter Smith
son of Robert White Smith formerly
a Wall street broker and grandson of
ihe late Judge John Hunter invited
ten or twelve young men to join him
in a deer hunt. After a social dinner
a mt sage was brought to the effect
that a friend and cousin young Mur
phy with his intended wife were wait
ing at Cooctaw Bluff—young Sort i's
private plantation landing—about tw 0
hundred yards off, contemplating a
runaway marriage. The party went
down and witnessed the ceremony and
af;er it was over young Smith picked
up his guitar entered his store room
on the bluff, sat down and commenced
playing and singing Hearing no
unusual noise ou*g dethe warehouse he
wont to th the door and saw that a

his pistol fired'at Smth and wounded
him iu the side. The young mar
claspo ! his hand to the wound leaned
ppi.n a tree and said, “I have my

Johnson then sprang at Smith,
knife in hand to stair him, whereupon
in selfdefence Smith fir<-d at Johnson
but, missing his aim, struck and seri

Johnson tired at Smith this time
striking the tree against which he
leaned and once more Smith fiiel this

quarreling for some time, Braslan ex*

claim Bmir disputed, saying be was
willing to fight him at any disianc®

paces. This challenge Braslan whose
pistol aod belt were lying on :be floor
a short distance from him, accepted,
asking for time to “heel himself,
which he proceeded to do by buckling
on his belt. The two men went out
in the street, appearing more pleasant

“A Rhode Island lady who was in
the habit of taking large quantities of
linctu eof iron, found great benefit
from the medicine, but also incured
large bills at the apothecary’?, which
her husband found it rather difficult
to meet. Instead of brutally outtiag
off her medicinal supplies, this ingeni
ous and humane man conceived the
plan of manufacturing-tincture ofiron
in the secrecy of his own wood shed.
He therefore procured a pail, placed
in it two pounds of old iron nails, three
diachma of iron barrel hoops and four
scruples of misce laneous iron. To
this he added one gatirn of acquaptira,
an l stirred the mixture with a pitch
fork three time a dav for a week. At
the end of that time tie drow off the
water with a siphon, placed it in pint
bottles, and labeled it ‘Tinct-ferri- Use
as directed.” His wile took this home
made tincture without any suspicion
that it was not purchased at the
apothecary's, and derived all the bene*
fit from it which she had derived trom
the apothecary’s, own tincture. Al
though she had beeu afflicted for sev
eral months with extreme weakness,
her strength revived under tbe influ
ence of the tincture to such an extent
that at the end of three weeks, when
she accidentally caught her husband
in the act of filling Iter bottle from the
pail in tbe wood shed, she was Able io
iift a heavy pitchfork, and, after wield
ing it with great vigor for ten minutes,
to assist the hired man in dragging
her husband into the house' whereshe
subsequently applied arnica and blown
paper to near’y two-thirds of bis et*
tire surface.”
The lesson was the parable about
the tares and the wtaert, and the
father asked ths son : “VV bat ia a
tare?”
“You had ’em!”
“Johnny, what do you mean?”
asked the anxious patent.
“Why, last week, wh-m you didn’t
come home for three days,” said
Johnny. “I heard mother tell aunt
Susan you were on a tare.”
