last Loinvy Hour.
If I could hold your hands to-night,
Just for a little while, and know
That only 1, of all the world,
Possessed them so;
A slender shape in that old chair,
Between me and the twilight pale,
If I could see you here to-night
So slight and frail;
Your cool white dress its folding lost
In one broad sweep of shadow gray;
Your weary head just drooped aside,
The sweet old way—
Bowed like a flower-cup dashed with rain;
The darkness crossing half your face,
i And just the glimmer of a smile
For one to trace.
1
If I could see your eyes, that reach
Far into the furthest sky,
Where, past the trail of dying suns,
The old years lie ;
Or touch your silent lips to-night,
And steal the sadness from their smile,
And find the last kiss they’ve kept
This weary while!
If it could be—o, all in vain—
The restless trouble of my soul
Sets, as the great tides to the moon,
Toward your control!
In vain the longing of the lips,
The eye’s desire, and the pain ;
The hunger of the heart—O, love,
Is it in vain ?
The Berrien County News gives the
following details of a mystery at Ty Ty
swamp: “On Saturday evening, 19th
inst., as the sun was sinking toward the
western horizon, Mr N. B Whittington,
while hunting through Ty Ty swamp,
about one and a half miles below his
residence, in a very dense portion of the
swamp, suddenly came upon a small
open space. Immediately upon enter
ing it lie saw a shoe lying upon the
ground, a small distance from it anoth
er Then he discovered a watch, which
had the appearance of having lain on
the ground in this same spot for years
A few feet from the watch he found a
pocket knife and a valise, which had
been exposed to the weather and the
ravages of time until almost in shreds;
protruding from its dilapidated sides,
amongst shreds of clothing, he found
two razors, some jeweler’s tools and a
case for carrying paper, the papers be
ing nearly illegible from age. Near by
he found a hat, the top part of the
crown cut out and a hole, perphaps a
bu let hole, near the remaining portion
of the crown: a razor ay open on the
ground near by, and a bone, which he
judged to be the thigh hone, of a fellow
creature. On Sunday morning, in coin
p. his In' ‘her John, and Mr.
S. C Whittington, he revisited the spot
wnere lie had found thp things. They
examined them more closely and found
within the shoes the appearance of
socks, as if they had rotteit in the shoes
while upon the feet. They found a lit
tle blow pipe, such as is used by jewel
ers in mending rings, etc. They car
ried these things, together with the
bone, no home with them In the ev
the soot was visited by Mr Wil
''•mi Sumner, in company with several
(O' and they found a human s nil,
a fiddle or the remains of one: a fiddle

appearance plainly prove that some hu
man being came to his end in that lnv>Mv

violence Tlr papers have not been
thoroughly examined We suppose they
uav throw some light upon the subject,

Oglethorpe Echo: “One of the
most horribly sickening stories conies
to our ears this week we ever he rd.
It appears that a negro woman, living
on the place of Mr. W. \. Hardy, o"
Woodstock, owing to cruel treatment |
of her husband, committed suicide by j
jumping in the well. There she re- 1
inained a week, a number of persons
using water from the well all the time,
until the suspicion of the fami y was
aroused by a most nauseous taste in the
water —even the horses having refused
to drink it for a dav <>r sc lief .>••* i*s
use was discarded. At last the water
drawn up was found to he streaked
with blood, and an examination brought
forth the putrid body of the woman.”
True V ; !
An agricultural exchange says ;
“The argument that would restrict
the product of grain and provisions on
account of low prices is fallacious.
Nothing is ,so salable to-day, either at
home or abroad, as food for man or
beast. The most successful farmer will
be he who studies the markets and
produces sucli crops as are most in de
mand, he who secures the greatest yield
at the least cost, he who strives by |
close economies of labor and expendi
ture to restrict his outlays within his
income : and finally success will attend
those who determiue to be masters of
their calling, who call to their aid the
advanced thought, method and investi
gation of tiie times and who bring sys
tem and intelligence to bear upon every
branch of husbandry. The farming of
the future must be conducted on busi
ness principles, with a thorough knowl
edgel of cost and market value : while
the profits must be derived not so much
from increased prices as from enlarged
production and improved quality, with
diminished cost ’
AN ATLANTA SENSATION.
A difficulty Between Hon. It. 11.
Hill and Mr. W<*s. Murphy.
We copy the article below from the
Atlanta Constitution. The affair de
scribed suggests several points for a
solution of which we shall anxiously
look to future developments in the mat
ter. Mr. Murphy, we believe, is a clerk
in the office of the State Treasurer :
During the latter part of last week
an occurrence happened that the press
ure of the fair and its multitudinous
happenings kept from receiving earlier
attention. As it is a long story, it is
best that we should begin at the begin
ning and run it straight through—prem
ising our narrative with the statement
that, owing to the thousand conflicting
rumors, it is possible we may displace
some circumstance, or mistake some
fact. The essential points, however,
are about as we give them. Some
years ago the Legislature passed an act
granting the State’s indorsement to the
bonds of the Northeastern Railroad
Company. The managers of the road
went to work and graded about forty
miles of the track, being moved to this
progress by the promise of the State.
Shortly afterwards, an act was passed
repealing the acts granting State aid.
At the request of the friends of the
Northeastern road, a clause was put in
this act, excepting all roads that had
any “vested rights. It was claimed
that this exception covered the North
eastern road
The friends of the road, to test their
rights, went into the courts, and after a
tedious and hotly-contested litigation,
the case went to the Supreme Court.
This court decided that it had no juris
diction in tlie matter, and referred the
whole thing back to the Governor. Gov
ernor Colquitt was then in office, and
the case came before him. He aj>-
proached the question with great delib
eration, and studied it thoroughly.—
Pending his decision, lie was and luged
with legal opinions upon the subject.
Gen. Toombs, Gov Brown and others
decided that the law was clear upon the
subject and in favor of indorsement.
Speaker Bacon, President Trammell
j and leading members of both Houses
! declared that it was the intention of the
i legislature at the time of the passage
|of the bill to except the Northeastern
I road from the operation of the repeal
ing act It was proved that the ques
tion had been discussed, and at that
time this point was thoroughly under
stood by the friends of the road before I
they would vote for its passage. It i
was also discovered that a special ex- |
planatory act had been passed by this i
same legislature afterwards to cover j
this especial case and remove all possi- .
ble doubt The case was made out so j
thoroughly and so strongly that the
press ceased its opposition almost en
tirely to the bonds, and Governor Col
quitt, amid an approbation that was al
most universal, signed the bonds. And
now to our story. Senator Hill, it ap
pears, had been employed by the At
lanta rolling mill, which held the most
of these unsigned bonds, (having ad
vanced iron to the road upon this.secur
ity) to plead their ease for them He
says he was promised a $7,000 ten con
tingent upon the indorsement of the |
bonds. Mr Hill was out of the city j
w en the indorsement was made. When !
he returned he called upon Mr. Morrill, I
with whom he had made the contract
alleged, and demanded his fee. Mr.
Morrill stated that he could not pay it.
Cpon being asked why, he said that he
had already paid out a large sum to an
other party on that account. Mr Hill j
ay; he was very much astonished, and )
ask and him who it had been paid to. Mr. I
AT..i ' !1 replied that be bad paid it to j
AJr Wps. Murphv. Mr Hill asked him [
w y be had paid it, and how much Air. !
Morrill replied that he bad paid him j
SB,OOO, and .that ; e had paid it for I
certain services that Mr. Murphv had |
rendereed working up the case of the j
bonds. Air Hill again demanded his |
fe, and upon Colonel Alorrill again de
clining to pay it he withdrew. He j
then went to see Governor Cos quitt.—
The Governor was astonished at his
statement and said that he had no knowl
edge of the matter at all. Mr. Ii ill
ins sted that he should look into the
matter and “discharge All Hurto y.“
Governor Colquitt could not do this, as he ,
had no power to discharge Air. Murphy,
as he held no position under him and j
was not under his control, aid besides j
lie had no evidence at all that he had j
done anything that deserved an investi- '
gation. Air Hill then went into the •
courts for his money. He entered suit
against the rolling mill and garnisheed !
Air. Murphy and the Citizens bank.
Air. Alurphy replied through his lawyers, ]
Hopkins & Glenn, that he did not owe ;
the rowing mill anything. Air. Hi 1
traversed this answer. On Thursday
Air. Hil l was just getting on the street
car when Air. Alurphy ea! edliim He
went across to Aladdox & Rucker’s
store, where Air. Alurphy was standing
Here the accounts differ. Air. Murphy’s
friends say that he denounced Mr. Hi
in the most unmeasured terms: that'
Mr. Hi drew back twice to strike him
and that Mr. Murphy said : “Just
j come ahead!” and repeated his denun
ciation. Whereupon Mr. Hill witli
! drew. Mr. urphy’s friends say the}'
were witnesses to this.
Mr. Hill’s friends say that Murphy,
after asking Mr. Hill if he had made
these charges and had told .Mr. Glenn
that he should be turned out of office,
Mr. Hill said “yes.’’ Mr. Murphy
then said, “youarea<l—dscoundrel! 1 '
Mr. Hill thereupon -went to strike
him, when Mr. Murphy drew back
hastily, and put his hand behind him.
Nlr. Hill then said, “I see that you are
armed, and I do not propose to allow
you to assassinate me—l publicly de
nounce you, sir, as a coward and a
ruffian.” They say that he then stop
ped a gentleman who was passing
(we believe Mr. Joe Simms, of Cov
ington) and asked him to hear what
lie had to say to Mr. Murphy, and
that he then repeated what he had
said. These, we believe, are the ac
counts, given by the friends of the
two parties as to the altercation.—
Nothing has come of the matter, and
we suppose that as the trouble has
been relegated to the courts, it will
be settled there. We sincerely hope
so. Mr. Murphy says he does not
see the necessity of making any state
ment Since, however, his action in
the matter has been misrepresented,
he proposes to have it ivestigated.—
He says that lie made a contract to
perform certain services for the Citi
zens’ bank, (Mr. W. C. Morrill being
the contracting party.) for a certain
sum of money. He performed tnexc
services to the satisfaction of parties
contracting with hirnand received the
pay therefore in accordance with the
terms of the contract. It is hardly
necessary to say that Mr. Murphy de
clares in the most solemn mannerthut
the Governor did not know anything
ot this contract, had nothing whatev
er to do with it and that his name
was not mentioned directly in any
way, and that he was not approached
in any wav, directly or indirectly on
the subject. While we are not au
thorized to give the details of the
service that Mr. Murphy rendered, it
may be proper to say that he is the
gentleman wh collected all the ouin
ions upon the subject, in favor of the
the indorsement. He w°nt over the
State gathering the views of leading
lawyers, members of the legislature
and parties who were conversant
with the facts. He spent time and
money in this pursuit, and claims that
he justly earned bis fee. We believe
that the above is a true version of toe
whole matter. As the case will come
up for investigation in ihe courts, the
public then get the full details of tie
whole oocuiTMiice. Since the above
has been written we have been baud
ed the following card from Captain
Murphy, which we publish with pleas
ure :
Special to the Evening .News.
Atlanta, October 26. — ln a few
days the pubii; will probably become
acquainted with the facts in relation
to the signing of the Northeaston
railroad bonds by the Governor, in
which Senator Ben Hill, Gov. Col
quitt, Secret aTy Wes Murphy and
others will figure. There are rumors
on the si reel in which the Governor
and Murphv appear to disadvantage
in connection with dr* signatures of
th • bonds.”
The matters to which the above
minors refer are involved in litigation
between Hon. li. II Hill and myself
in Fulton Superior Court, and will
uudergtf thorough judicial iuvesliga
lion. In that investigation I shall
vindicate myself morally and legally.
I have no fear of the result, ll is
i >i proper to state my case in the

Poison.
An Indianapolis (Ltd.) paper >;ars:
A scries of experiments was recently
made in this city by Hr. I. 1!. liavnes,
with the view of : tudying the effects of
snake p. is ii upon the blood and tiss
ues of the animal system. The experi
ments wire witnessed by Professor R.
F. Piper, of Chicago, who caused a de
s-i pt m -.t the une to be pub,i id
in l\mes of that city. One object
of T lc- experiments, as stated by the
/ >ni was to note the effects of the
potsi.-u w;th reference to its use as a
remedial agent in certain cases of di
sease. The chief factor in the experi
ments was a fine rattlesnake about elev
en Years id and three and a ha f or
four feet long, which I)r. Haynes has
confined in a wire cage. Some thirty
animals were used in the experiments,
such as rats, hens, pigeons and rabbits*
T. ey lived varying periods after being
bitten, death not following in any reg
ular sequence of time, as is generally
believed. One rat died in eight min
utes, one in twelve,, and the next rat
lived twenty-seven hours, th” next one
surviving twenty hours. A pigeon
died in seventy-five minuets. A hen,
which was struck three times, lived for
three days in a stupid condition and
finally recovered.
i The symptoms were labored breath
: ing, paralysis of the bind extremities in
j the quadrupeds, and absence of blood
in the extremities. After death the
hearts were found gorged with blood in
a fluid state. This non-coagulation of
blood Professor Piper was inclined to
attribute to fright or excitement just
before death. .
It was noticed during Ac experiments
that the snake appeared capable of strik
ing from several different positions, ae-
VOL. 14-NO. 36
cording as it suited his convenience, but
when about to strike there wore always
two lateral curves of the body, one
backward and one forward. The rat
tlesnuke springs only two-thirds of his
own length, and always strikes at the
neck, or as high up as he can get. In '
the experiments in this city every ani- j
nml put into the snake's cage was
struck in the neck, except one that re
ceived the fatal blow immediately over ;
the eye. The snake’s fang makes a
very small wound, and but little blood
escapes. Inflammation sets in at once.
The animal struck seems to suffer very
liitle pain, but to be rather in a stupefi
ed condition Human beings are said
to suffer acute pain from the wound.
In the course of the investigation here
Professor Piper tried to get an. idea of
the method in which the snake struck,
but it was impossible. The snake’s
motion was so rapid that no eye could
follow it. Lightning was not more sud-!
den 'n its movements. *
Some additional facts concerning the
experiments in this city aro described
in the Times as follows : “Dr. Haynes
cut off the points of the teeth of a
large rat that he had put into the cage,
lest the snaive should be rendered in
capable of performing any experiments.
The rat tried to keep away from the
snake, but the latter felt that his prem
ises were invaded; and struck at the
rat. The latter, partially disarmed as
lie was, at once turned round and made
a sturdy light for a few seconds. He
bit the snake, and the snake struck him
three or four times. At last lie felt
1 the effects of the poison, and walked
off as far from the snake as he could
get. lie lived for twenty-seven hours
after this. A dove put into the cage
exhibited no fear of the snake, and
showed no signs of suffering after being
struck. Nor, in fact, did the wound
seem to have any effect on the bird for
u time. About an hour after the wound
was made the bird’s breathing was short
and hard. This was the first symptom
of poisoning, and in fifteen minutes
more the bird was dead.’? In the case
of all these animals no blood flowed al
ter death, and yet the blood at the
heart was not coagulated. The author
ities differ as to the liability of the
blood to coagulate after a snake bite,
but in all these cases the blood was un
coagnlnted.”
Good Butter.
Butter is described in books as be
ing the “oily part of milk, ’ mechani
cally extracted by agitation, a process
too well known to be noticed here. To
speak a little more scientifically, we
might say that butter contains, as its
ruling constituents, stearine, margarine,
oleine and a principle peculiar to it
self, called butyrine. The last named
substance is colorless oil which forms
at about 32 degrees Fahrenheit. To
this principle is due the peculiar odor
of aielted butter.
Butter also contains traces of a few
other substances, in small proportions,
but so minute in quantity as not to be
considered essential to the existence ofj
a good article of butter. Now it wili
bo seen at a glance that, to make good
butter is merely to separate from the
mi k the constituents we have named,

From the story of paradise, as told
by Alilior, wc si oald conclude that
Evt made butter from the milk of kid.
and goats to set before her angelic visi
tors. It is certain, at all events, that
from the earliest age of the world, but
ter has figured as one of the staple ar
ticles of diet for mankind. And yet,
in all this time, it is strange that far
mers and house-wives have not learned
that cleanliness is the great secret to
be observed after ah. Nature has irn-
parted all the good qualities to milk,
and it only remains for us to keep out
the baneful. A school-girl may grad-[
uate at thmost honorable institution
in the land, -be may be able to anal
yze a specimen of butter and name all
the chemical principles that enter into
its composition, and yet, if she has not
been taught how to keep out all ex
traneous and poisonous elements, she
cannot produce an article fit to go to
the table. “Not to put in but to keep
out,” should be the motto of the butter
maker who would realize good prices
and good profits. When the milk
comes from a healthy cow, it is clean,
sweet and pure and should be suffered
to remain in none other than clean,
sweet and pure receptacles. Indeed iu
every manipulation, from the work of
milking to the “coming ’ of the butter,
the virtue of absolute cleauliness should
rule. Here then, is the great secret of

Keeping Things ’GlvencA Up.
Two women caught sight of each oth
er in one of our dry goods stores the
other day, and rushing forward simul
taneously with outspread arms nearly
dislocated one another’s mouths.
“Why, la! bless you, Mrs. Hixley,
. I’m so glad to see you!” said one, with
a quick, nervous voice, as she fell back
a little after the scrimmage, and furled
her features into a look of satisfied joy,
warm enough to soften ice. “You’re
i looking so splendidly well, too, it’s a
wonder I knew you. I wouldn’t though,
I don’t think, if you liad’t smiled first.
But, dear me, what a dreadful long
ti_ae it’s been since I saw you—it seeing
an age. You live in Aliddletown yet, I
, : suppose ?”
“Oh, mercy, no—we loft there three
months ago and moved to Hamilton.*
“You don’t say T’
“Yes—but you ! I was remarking to
Hix the other day that I’d lost all
tr ick of you.”
i “We’re in Lawrenceburg now, and I
do so wish you could come aad see us.
! I’ve got so much to tell you. You
wouldn’t believe how times have chang
ed with us. Got a nice heme now, and
! everything nice—three bed-rooms up
j stairs, large hall, elegant parlor, lovely
. sitting room,* splendid dining-room,
! pantry and kitchen, big yard anJ gar
| den, and the sweetest lot of plants yon
J ever saw—and what d’ye think ? Aleck
j has really got to like flowers—anyhow
! lie (Jpn’t upset ’em any more, and growl,
all the time about their always being in
the way.”
“But Louise ?’■
“What! Hadn’t you heard it? We
sent you a paper with the notice. Why,
she’s been married six months nearly.’’
“You don’t tell’’me! Bnt'Hiow did
Mm,
she do ”
“Splendid! A widower with a farm
and three children, and a church mem
ber, too. He’s not so much tor looks,
but he’s an awful good man, and stands
high in the neitrhborhood. She couldn’t,
a’ done better.”
“That is nice, but is he good to her?”
“Oh, yes—too good, I tell him some
ti ues. But they do get along just the
nicest kind—as ha; py as larks all the
time. It almost brings the tears to
hear her call him an old fool and a bald
headed idiot as soon as he steps into
the house. She always was so lively,
you know.”
“What! Do they quarrel a'ready ?”
i iquired the Middleton lady, with a
pained look of anxiety*
“Why, no—certainly not, never
you couldn't Lire ’em to.”
“But you said site called him horrid
names and threw up his looks.”
“Oil, yes, of course : and she may
even spank the children right before
his eyes, and toll him they are a pack
of good-for-nothing thick-headed little
beggars; but then its only her way,
you know, and she don’t mean anything
by it, of course. It’s only away she
has of being cheerful, and keeping
things ’livened up around the house.—■
I tell you, Louise ain’t going to let the
dust settle around her much, no matter
where she is.” —Cincinnati Break fast

Air. Zeb Colley’s place, three miles

The cheek bones of one side of his fare

He was only seven years old.”
