DAWSON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER $4, 1878
Only a Shower.
Ben Butler on his platform stood,
And o’er its planks he strode,
His war like voice, was still for blood,
His eves like balefires glowed.
He looked upon the pines of Maine,
And joy was in his breast:
“That was but the summer rain,
The storm comes from the West.”
Across the Alleghany range
He threw his larboard eye:
“The angry people want a change,
The’yll get it by and by.”
His other eve on Boston town
Dropped like a Parrot shell:
“ 1 t’s Beacon street shall be thrown down
Its dovecots fluttered well ”
The Western breeze blew soft and mild,
Clear was the Western skv:
“Where is the feniptest fierce and wild,
That filled my eager eye 1 ?”
The Greenback party’s Western vote
Was, like its money, flat:
“And is it thus onr stock they quote,
And have we dropped to that?”
In vain the Greenback siren sings,
Bluster and brass are vain:
“The Boston buzzards flaptlieir wings,
And whet their breaks again.”
Ben Butler on his platform stands,
But weak are voice and limb;
Storm signals flutter in his hands,
His eyes are dull and dim.

The number of deaths by yellow fever
in New Orleans up to date is 3,549.
The total number of deaths in the fever

eleven thousand.
A dispatch announces the death of
A E. Cronan, of Oregon, who will be

Senator Bayard is accredited with
saying that in his opinion there will be
three Presidential candidates in the
field in 1880—the Republican, Demo
crat and Greenback candidates. It is
possible, too, that the House of Repre
sentatives may be called upon to elect
the next President.
Rev. Mr. De La Matyr, who lias
just been elected to Congress on a
Greenback Labor ticket in Indiana,
formerly belonged to the Methodist
Conference in Western New York. The
authorities of the conference to Wi.ich

ago that he must choose between poli
tics and the pulpit, and refused to give
him an appointment until be hail forsa

A New York letter says; “The dry
goods trade is not looking healthy.
Cotton goods are especially pressed for
sale by manufactures at ten days time
at a discount of 2@2i per cent The

ers are now asking for ten-days settle

a want of eash or fear of difficulties in
the near future is notable in this action
on the part of producers.”

small Greenback Labor vote in the
West has greatly discouraged the
Greenbackers in Massachusetts. They
see the movement is not a “tidal wave.”
The immigration statistics for Sep
tember show that 8,955 persons came
to this country, arriving at New Yolk,
to permanently reside among us. <>f
the number, the greatest single factor
is the German immigration, that alone
amounting to 2,428. England follows
with 2,077 and Ireland is third with
1,415. For the three months closing
September 30th, the immigration was
25,263, against 20,109 during the cor
responding season last year.
In the present Congres the Republi
cans have a majority of three in the
State delegations, Florida . eing a tie.
As tar as the new Congressmen have
been chosen —and allowing to the Re
publicans all the doubtful States which
are yet to hold their elections—this
majority is overturned, and the Demo
crats, on a vote of States, will have 22
to 16 for the Republicans. Probably
this fact has been overlooked bv the
regulation organs when they have at
tempted to put on a smiling countenance
over the recent elections.
It is plainly the Republican hope
that the Potter Committee will bold no

My Revenge.
“You acknowledge, then, Mansfield,
that you arc guilty of this forgery ?’
“I do not deny it, Mr. Holland,” I re
plied quietly. “I have put sufficient
proof into your hands to convict myself
of it.; now act your pleasure with me.”
“From my soul I am sorry for you,”
he said, with some appearance of emo
tion. “And yet I thank heaven that
you and not. my nephew, Haworth, are
the criminal.”
“For your daughter’s sake?’ I asked,
turning my face away.
“For my daughter’s sake ?” lie an
swered. After a moment of silence he
went to his desk, and writing a few
words upon a slip of paper, called a ser
vant and sent him away with it. It
was a request for a constable,” lie said,
regarding me with a look of pity. It is
hard but it must be done, Mansfield.” j
“Yes,” I muttered, “it must be done.
Well, I am prepared.’’
And this was my revenge? That
night, as I paced the stone floor of the
cell allotted to me in the jail, the events
of the past six months arose before my
mental vision as the scenes of one's life
are said to haunt the deathbed. I have
made a faithful record of them.
Hawarth was a nephew of Mr. Hol
land, and the superintendent of War
wick Mill, where I was employed as
book-keeper. I hated the man from the
very day he entered the mill, and not
without reason. He was young, hand
some, wealthy, in a word all that 1 was
not. He was the master, insolently
conscious of his power: I the poor
drudge. He despised me and took no
pains to hide it, well knowing that 1
dared not resent his contempt. But
the real cause of my hatred lay deeper.
He had blasted a hope that had taken a
firm root in my foolish heart. He had
come between me and my love. There
fore I hated him. It was the old story.
I, the poor unpaid book-keeper, loved
the daughter of a wealthy mill-owner.
It seemed that I might have had a bet
ter chance of success with an angle in
heaven than with Virginia Holland.—
Yet in spite of my bettor sense, I loved
her, humbly and silently as become my
position. Of ltUe, -something in her
manner had taught me that she had dis
covered my secret, and the wild hope
thrilled me, that it might perhaps, have
inspired her with a little tenderness for
me. With the advent of Haworth,
however, the hope died in my breast.
When the rumor, as it shortly, did ?
that Virginia and her cousin were en
gaged, I was prepared for it as a man is
prepared for his death blow.
Out of the depths of my despair grew
up a great hatred for the man who had
gained the woman whose love I would
have died for, and a consuming desire
for revenge.
Then my whole life narrowed down
into the one wicked ambition of infill
ing upon him some portion of the agony
he had caused me, nor was the oppor
tunity long in coining.
One morning he called me into his
office, and handing me a check request
ed me to have it cashed for him at the
bank.
As I entered the room I observed
that he appeared to he excessively agi
tated, and I noticed, too, that ho rose
and hastily threw several small scraps
of paper into a drawer of his desk ; not,
however, before I had seen that the
signature of Mr. Holland was traced,
more or I# - perfectly, upon all of
them
1 thought nothing of the matter at
that moment: but when a week later,
uews was received that Mr. Holland
had been robbed of many thousand dol
lars by means of a cleverly counterfeit
ed check, I saw what it all meant.
Haworth was the forger ! There could
be no doubt of it.
The scraps of paper which ha had
flung into the drawer contained his first
attempts at imitating the signature of
his uncle.
My good fortune—so in mf frenzy I
deemed it—seemed almost incredible at
first. The man who had supplanted me
was a common thief, punishable by law.
Here, then, was my revenge ready to
-my hand. I would ferrit out the proof.
I would accuse and convict him by my
own unaided efforts. I would degrade
1 the man who had scorned me, and drag
him in the mud before the eyes of his
intended wife. How T exulted in the
prospect!
But the proof;
I knew that if I could secure the
scraps of paper upon which he had imi
tated the name of Mr. Holland, I need
go no further.
VOL. 14-NO. 3 4-
Had he cunningly destroyed them, or
had he, like most criminals, heedlessly
left open the pit that was destined to
engulf him ?
Since the date of the forgery he had
remained away from the mill—ill
at home they said. Had ho visited the
place at night and made away with the
testimony of his guilt?
I would soon decide that point. I
crept stealthily into his office, and with
one of my keys unlocked the drawer of
his desk.
The father of lies had deserted his
disciple to aid me. There lay the i
scraps just as lie had tossed them to- j
gether, the mute but incontestible wit
ness of his guilt.
I gathered them up with trembling
finger, secreted them about me, and
stole back to my room thrilling with
sinful joy. His fate was in my hands.
For many days the officers of the law
were utterly baffled in their Search for
the criminal. One night, however, it
was whispered in the mill that suspic
ion had begun to point toward Haworth.
He had involved himself, as was said,
in secret speculations far beyond the
remotest chance of recovery.
The rumor alarmed me. I feard that
the truth might he discovered rutd my
vengeance forestalled. I could with,
hold the blow no longer or other and
gentler hands would deal it for me.
But ere I accused him at the bar of
public justice I would blast his image
in the heart of Virginia Holland. I
would stab her to the soul, and look on
exultingly in her agony. I would say
to her:
“For this low wretch, this common
thief, you have slighted my love!”
That very hour, with the scraps of
paper buttoned safely in my pocket, 1
made my way to her dwelling.
With all my guilty anger I was a
coward. I dared not face the woman
whose death-blow I was about to deal-
I turned and sat down in a garden
chair in the deep shadow waiting to
conquer my weakness. As I sat there
I heard a low, deep sigh proceeding
from the shrubbery near at hand.
Peering cautiously between the hush
es I saw Virginia Holland kneeling up
on the sod, with Iter hands clasped be
fore her face. From her attitude I be
lieved she was weeping.
“Site has heard of his danger,’’ 1
muttered, bitterly, “and weeps for
him.”
Well, I saw lie agohV; did I exult
in it as 1 had promised myself to do !
No, mad with despair and jealousy as I
was my better nature conquered. An
instantaneous revulsion of feeling swept
over me me—a feeliug of shame for my
premeditated revenge and pity for her
sorrow. 1 felt that she was suffering
as I had suffered.
As 1 had loved her, so, doubtless,
did she levs Haworth. Whatever
wrong ho had done me, I could not
wound ltim through her breast. A
calm, glorious thought stole into my
troubled soul—a thought of pardon and
sacrifice. It brought a sense of melan
choly pleasure to me that seemed in
some measure to prepare me for the
burden I was about to take upon my
self.
Arising from my seat, I stole noise
lessly to her side, and bending above
her pressed my lips upon her upraised
brow—had I not the right to, then ?
and wispering, “Do not weep, Virginia,
I will save him,” turned hastily away.
The next instant the scraps of paper
I had so carefully treasured, torn into a
thousand pieces, were scattered far and
wide.
I had rosolved for her sake to save
Haworth, cost what it might. I feared
that if his affairs were to be submitted
to any closer scrutiny, his guilt must
become apparent. Therefore the sus
picion resting upon h’ui must be avert
ed. Another criminal must be found—
ready to confess his guilt ari l accept
his fate without resistance. Who so fit
for the sacrifice as myself? For her
sake I would have suffered a hundred
! fold as much.
I did not pause to reflect, but mak
ing my way to Mr. Holland, boldly ac
i cused myself of forgery, and invoked
justice upon myself. The rest has
been told.
I had paced the cell for several Lours
recalling these events to inv mind with
a species of bitter satisfaction, when
suddenly the dead silence of the night
was broken by a tremendous tumult
outside. A heavy tramping of feet,
and an uproar of voices as of a vast
crowd, penetrated the thick walls of
my prison.
Peering out of the barred Window, I
j beheld two hundred operatives of the
j mill clustering ‘door. The
I light of the ton lies that they carried
i fell upon my face, and I heard my name
I shouted with thunders of applause s .-
What did it mean ? I feured that it
had been diseovereddUat I was inno
cent, and my sacrifice had been for
nothiftg
Presently the key grated in the lock,
the door was flung open, and there en
tered—not the jailer as I expected, but
Virginia Holland, with hair disheveled
and eyes aflame, followed at a little dis
tance by her father.
“Come” she cried impetuously, seiz
ing my hand. “Come away from this
dreadful place.”
“What is this ?” I asked, drawing
back in amazement. “Why are yon
here, Virginia ? KiioW~you not that
I am a felon, to
prove my guilt ?’ *
“f know,” she exclaimedj fatsirig her
tcar-wCt eyes to mine, “that you are no
felon but the noblest man that ever
fixed. I know all, Mansfield, more
than any one but you can tell me.
Come with us then.”
While I stood staring at her in stu
pid wonder, Mr. Holland stepped for
ward and explained all that had passed.
Alarmed by the turn which the in
vestigations were taking, Haworth had
fled from the toWu that night, leaving
as a claim upon his uncle’s clemency an
abject confession of his gulit.
Though lie could notjmderstanJ my
design in criminating myttelf, Mr. Hol
land had taken immediate steps to pro
cure my release.
“Now, what does it mean ? lie asked.
“Why did you accuse yourself, Mans
field ?”
“Do not ask mo now!” iuteH'rtpted
Virginia, blushing. “I know why.”
“Then,” I cried “you
know that I love you—that I havUlov*
ed you those many weary months, riot
daring to confess it. You know that I
would have sacrificed my fife for you
as readily as I have tried to sacrifice
my honor, that one you loved might ee*
escape.”
“I did not love him,” she answered,
tremulously. “My father desired me
to marry him, hut I could not, for I
loved .”
“Whom!” I cried, breathlessly, ap
proaching her.
“You!” she replied, hiding her face
on’triv shoulder “You—only yoii, my
darling. 1 saw it all, my poor love. I
■-aw your pride, your honor, your hu
mility. 1 love you because you were
poor and proud and silent. But hoW
could I tell you of it?”
“Then thank heaven for this forgery,”
I murmured, pressing her to my heart,
“for it has proved my salvation!”
“Humph !” grumbled Mr. Holland,
good naturedly, “thank heaven*' that I
have lost my ten thousand dollars ?
Ungrateful dog!”
A Delaware Boy’S Heroic* Aeti
<
On Tuesday morning last a child of
G. F. Brady, Esq., of Delaware city*
while standing on a well curb, was, by
the breaking of n rotten board, precip
itated to the bottom of the well, a dip-*
tance of forty-five feet. A boy named
Frederick Hilabum, who was standing
near, immediately pulled off another
plank, threw lii.s arms around the pump
stock, and dipped rapidly down to the
water, grasped the child Us it was sink**
ing for tile third time, and, though the
water was very deep, succeeded in hold
ing himself, as well as the child, above
it until ropes were lowered to him, by
which lie was safely drawn out. The
child is less than three years-old, and
strange to'say escaped injury, save a
few scratches. The boys heroism and
presence of mind in his successful ef
forts to save the child deserves univei*
sal commendation.
