Police Testimony. _ _ _ „ Boston, Nov. 1$ 1875. fl. R. Stevens, Ksq. Dear Sir,— during the past, five years I have had ample opportunity to judge of the merits of Vege- TINE. My wite has used it for complaints attending a lady of delicate health, with more beneficial result® than anything else which she ever tried. I have given it to my children under almost every circum stance attending a large family, and always with marked benefit. I have taken it myself with euch great benefit that I cannot find words to express my unqualified appreciation or its goodness. While performing n.y duties as a Police Officer in this city, it has been my lot-to fall in with a great deal of sickness. 1 unhesitatingly recommend Veo- Etine, aud I never knew of a case where it did not prove all that was claimed for it. Particularly in cases of a debilitated or impoverished state of the blood its effects are really wonderful; and for all complaints arising from an impure state of the blood it appears to work like a charm, and i do not believe there are any circumstances under which VEGETINE can be used with injurious results, and it will always afford me pleasure to give any further information as to what 1 kuuw abuut Vegetine.

THE BEAUCHAMP TItAGE LY. r I ii<‘ Assassination of Atornoy- Gcneral Sharpe--A Betrayed Girl’s Vei gence—Marrying Alt other Lover to Accomplish it and Killing Herself the Night Before he was Hanged. From the Ciucinnatti Commercial. 01 thp many crimes coimuitted ott the sarred soil of Kentucky there never has been one for romance of incident, cbivlary of motive, tragedy of ending equal lo flint of the Beau champ affair. Though transpiring many years ago. its details have lost none of their freshness, and the high standing of the and their per sistenf efforts to suppress everything relating to it, have tended to perpetu ate its remembrance, and tender it a romance that e\en at this late day ail Kentuckians love to talk ol and wonder over. The murderer or infat uated avenger of another's wrongs’ was J. 0. Beauchamp, the son of a respectable farmer near Bo wlir g Green- He was a young law student of unus ual promise, whose talents and address had attracted the favorable notice of the afterwards murdered Solomon P. Sharpe, at that time Attorney-General of the State. Y< ung Beauchamp was of ardent temperament, entertained exalted ideas of woman’s purity, and once upon his vacation chanced to meet Miss Ann Cooke, a beatiful young lady, who during his absence in the pursuit of his studies had witlr a wid owed mother, taken up her residence uear his father’s farm. It was a case of love at first sight Miss Cooke was melancholy as a lov er’s lute, lived in great privacy, and her mysterious movements and in tentional withdrawal from society threw around a halo of mystifiea tion that fired the ardor of the law student and made him a willing slave at her feet. He called upon her actu ally forced himself into her presence and borrowed books of her, simply to afford him an excuse to call again.— She repelled his advances in a mariner that only lured him on. He persecu ted her with kindness and haunted her with attentions. He proposod, tvas rejected ; she Would never marry. He persisted with an excess of passion aud ardor that induced her to tell him her story, and wrung ftum him a prem ise of revenge. She Lad Been betrayed, she said by Col. Sharpe. Her case was a pe culiarly sad one. Col. Sharpe had been raised in her father’s family. — The sacred rites of hospitality he had repaid by filching the daughter’s virtue. And she like many another, became a mother ere she was a wife. She bad been famed for her beauty, yet her disgrace had withered its chatmes and crippled its powers. Her family had been wealthy, hut adver_ity had overtaken them. Her father and male relatives were all dead. There was no one to avenge her wrongs.— Beauchamp, tied to her fate by the silken cords of a desperate love, as well as by the lomantic notion of a chivalric temperament that urged him ;o wash out by assassination or chal lenge th 9 wrong done, readily took an oath to hurl Sharpe to the doom he deserved. ‘‘Shaipe will not tight,” said Miss Cock, when Beauchamp announced his attention of calling hiui out; “he is too great a coward,” That was in 1821. The Legislature was in sess'on in Frankfort. Beauchamp readily found Co 1 . Sharpe at the Mansion House The Colonel recognized him cordially. “I’ve come to Frankfort to see you on impoitaut business, ’ aud Beauchamp took him by the atm, saying. “Lot’s take a waik.” They went to a retired spot by the river s'ue, The bell at the Mansion House rang for supper. Beauchamp turned upon Sharpe | with a nervous manner and eye spark- 1 ling with anger. “Do you remember the last words Miss Cooke, whetn you ruiued, spoke to you ?” Sharpe stood as if transfixed. “I am the avenger yvhorn, in the spii it of prophecy, she, the last time you ever saw her, warned you would right her wrongs.” Shai pe stood still, deigning no re pty. “Will jou fight a duel with me?” “My dear iiiend,” cringingly spoke the Attorney General. “I canot fight you on Mias Cooke’s account.” ‘Defend yourself, then,coward and viilian that you are,” shrieked Deau- DAJVSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SETT UMBER 13. 1878. champ, drawing an enormous dirk. ‘‘l have no weapon tut a pen knife.” Beauchamp threw him a Spanish knife. “My dear friend, I cannot fight you,” stil 1 urged Sharpe. “You d—J villian, what do you mean by that? That she is not wor thy you should fight her friend aud avenger V” ‘My friend, I meant that I never can fight the friend of that worthy, injured lady. Had her brothers murdered me, I would not havo rais ed my hand to defend myself. And if you are her husband, I can never fight you.” “I am not her husband, but her friend and avenger. She sent mo to take your life. Now, d —d villian you shall die.” He raised lu’s dagger. Sharpe ran. Beauchamp seized him by the collar. Sharpe fell upon his knees and beg ged for his lile. “Take ray property; ray whole es tate is at your command, but, ob, let me live,” ho cried. Beauchamp released his hold, slap ped Sharpe’s face, and kicked him as he arose. “Get up, jou coward. I’ll publicly horsewhip you to-morrow in the street, you infernal coward,” he said. Beauchamp meant to be as good as his word. He procured a horsewhip, and presuming tliat Sharpe, surround ed by his friends, would make a show cf resistance, provided himself with pistols, with which to finish him.-- Sharpe felt that: Ho who fights ind runs away. May live to fight another day. So before break of day be was on his horse en route for Bowling Green. Beauchamp rt turned to his home. ! Miss Cooke now tesolved to take ven gecnoo in her own hands. Daily she oractioed w ith pistols, till tier aim be- Ci.nro deadly. She tiied to alitir Sharpe to her house. He avoided her. Beuuchan.p ri framed from any further attempt on Sharpe’s life to give Miss Cooke the opportur.i’y she wished for. It never cause, and this des re to ki'l him herself gave to Sl.sipe many adty ol life. lu June’ 1824. Beauchamp and Miss Cocke weie married. And then lie claimed he had the right 10 assassinate his wife’s seducer. Sharp 1 was r.ow a candidate for the Legislature, hut his treatment of Miss Cooke added to his> unpopularity, so he announced that Miss Cooke’s child was the offspring of a negro. He even produced a for ged cettificate to substantiate this unheard of villiany. Beauchamp heard the tale, and re solved that Hhatpe’s hour had now come. He repabed toFrankfort, and, unable to obtain lodgings at the ho te's, passed the uight wi.h Scott, the keeper of the Penitentiary. He retir ed early, and prepared for his mur derous deed. Instead of shoes he put on yarn stocking*. He concealed his face in a red bandanna handkerchief. He secreteda long knife in bis bosom. Stealthily be crawled unobsertel out of his lodgings, and repaired noise lessly to Sharpe’s residence. Drawing his dagger, he knrek three times. “Who’s there?” cried Stiarpe. “Covington,” replied Beauchamp (Covington was an intimate friend of Sharpy’s). The door opened. Shr.rpe appear ed, aud Beauchamp seized him By the throat. He tried to escape. Mrs. Sharpe appeared at a rear door. Beauchamp tore off his ma.-k and thrust hi? face close to his doomed victim. “And do you now know on ? he scofliugly sneered. Sharpe drew back and cried,“Great God, rt is he.” They tvere his last words. Bjuechnmp plunged his dagger deep into his heart. The blood sport ed upon the walla and dabbled the floor. “Die," was all Beauchamp said. And he died. The hue and cry was so n raised. I The assassin was followed by an eu-1 ger crowd f pursuers. Cap'ured, j arrested, he was brought back and tried. He was convicted: he was sentenced to be executed. His wife | remained with him totbelast. She made no attemp at concealing the fast that | she instigated and urged on the assus- i sination. She gloried in it, aud scout ed at the tbr-atsof indicting her as j accessory before the fact. The night 1 before the execution she procured an j ounce vial of laudanum and pursued-1 ed her husband to cheat the gallows : if he could. The laudanum was di vided. She swallow and ono-half. He took his portion. Then they kuult and prayed. They sang for joy; they shouted that their sins had been tor given, anu in a delirium of ecstasy | roused the ether inmates of the pris on. i'he poison did r.ot work. She 1 swore that she would starve herself to j death, die with her husband, and be | buried in the same coffin. June 5, 1826, was a great day in FrauLford. The city was thronged j lo see the last of J. 0 Beauchamp The black and ominous gibbet was elected on n hill-top near by. The drums beat mournful dirges from an early hour. At 11 o’clock Mrs. Beau champ told the jailer to leave Iter for a few minutes with her husband.— The jailer left but was soon recalled by deep groans from their cell. He returned and found them both wel tering in blood. They had stab! ed themselves with a knife the wife had concealed. Ilis wound was not fatal nis wife soon expired. Beauchamp was car tied to her bedside as her life’s blood was ebbing fast. Ho felt iter pulse. “Farewell child of sorrow, farewell victim of persecutor! and misfortune! You are now safe from the tongue of slander. For you I’ve lived, for you I die.” He kissed her lips ; ho was lendy. The blood was fiicling from bis wotiuds. He was tco weak to sit up, so they laid him in a covered wagon and hauled him to the gallows. He waved his hands to tht> ladies, wl,o-e weeping eyes cleerod him with sympathy and consolation. They were compelled to help him get on . bis coffin. He was too weak to bit upon i: unsupported. “G.vo me some w a‘er. Let the drums play Bonaparte’s Retreat from Moscow,” woie his lust words. They buriied the self-murdered wifo and the executed husband in the same coffiu, folded in each others armes. — Even in death they were nor divided. Their grave is at BLo in field, Kv., marked by a modest shaft. Before her death Mrs. Beauchamp wrote the following epitaph, which wasengraved on the tombstone of the misguided pair: Enlotnhi and below in eac h other’s arms Toe husband and the wife repose; Sale from life’s never-ending stormes, Secure from all their cruel foes. A child ot civil fate she lived A villian’s wiies her peace had crossed The husband of her heart revived The liapincss she long had lost. Ho heaid her tale of matchless woe, And burning for revenge niose; He laid her hast-betrayer low. Aud struck dismay to virtue’s foes. Reader, ii honor’s generous blood E’er wanned tly heart here drop a tear, Ar.d let the sympathetic flood Deep in my mind its t.aces wear. A brother or a sister thou-- Dishonored see thy sister dear; Then turn and see the villain low, And let fall a grateful tear. Daugtitersof virtue grant the tear, That love and honor’s tomb may claim. In your defense the husband here Laid down inyouth his life and fame. His wile disdained a life forlorn, Kft from her heart’s beloved lord ; Then, reader, here their fortunes mourn, Who for their love their life blood poued- The excitement over the fate of Beauchamp and the tragic ending of his wife has lent to the tragedy a ro mantic halo, and some years since, John Savage, a New York journalist and play-iighter, worked the leading incidents of the affiir into a drainer entitled “The Sybil,” which, however was performed only twice. Sharpe’s son got out an injunction at Louisville against the parformance of the piece, and 6uceeedod in suppressing it en tirely. Whore the trragedy to occur in these days it is verry doubtful if Beauchamp would have ever felt the halter draw. Saved ly Whisky. A mas' extraordinary instpnce of pluck and endurance, combined with a miraculous oscape from a horahlo death by suffocation or starvation, re cently transpired at Grizzly Fiat, near lowa Hill, Placer Cos , Cal. An oi l man, known as “Giizzly” Brown while at work in his mine, was overwhelmed and burned lya eavenf the mine— He was tightly shut in seventy-five yards from daylight, with scarcely a hope that be would be missed and ! search made, as bis mine was quite a i dis'ance from any human habi'ation, with not a mouthful of food and only half a bottle of whisky for drink, and to person or thing from which to i ! look for assistance save his nick and , j shovel, which fortunately 1 • it proved j | for him were hurriod wit' hi m He j began the almost belp!e-o ast .f dig ging himself out. Fort' nate'.y the j earth proved safe end easy to work i in, and finally, after having been en j tombed for three days with nothing to sustain life but the friendly bottle of whisky, he reached the surface, completely exhausted from his long fast, but with strength enouth remain ing to reach a place where he could get nourishment.
