Two Interesting and Amusing
Faroes.
Newspaper literature, for the past few
weeks, has been unusually dull and un
interesting. The burning of little ne
gro children, locked up in cabins while
their pious parents are attending church,
and the usual accidents flora “unload
ed'’ guns and pistols and “non-explo
sive’’ kerosene, are getting rather too
common and stale to be noted as mat
ters of public interest. But for two
very funny farces now being enacted
befere the eyes of the public, we should
be in groat danger of a severe attack of
“the blues.”
The debate now going on in Congress
over the appropriation bills is, in many
of its aspect.-,, extremely funny. The
republicans having, as they claim,
whipped the “rebels” back into a union
from which they sought to withdraw,
now, just fifteen years after the war,
find themselves, the federal capitol and
the country, as they allege, in the pow
er and at the mercy of those rebels
whom they coerced into a union with
them. It is, in deed, a very awkward
and uncomfortable predicament, and it
is very amusing, especially to a ‘rebel,’
to sit afar off and see them rear and
rear and howl and weep and wail and
gnash their teeth and stamp their feet
and shake their fists in their impotent
rage at those whom they 7 claim to have
conqered in war but who have conquer
ed them in only fifteen years of peace.
We cannot blame the radicals for get
ting hot under the collar, for a Senate
and House full of “Confederate briga
diers” is a sight we never expected to
see. We could pity them if were not
for the fact that it was their folly and
not their magnanmity that placed them
in the humilitat.ing positron. They
thought they could control the South
by mears of ignorant negroes whom
they freed and made Voters of, Out instead
of the carpet-baggers whom they expec
ted in Congress from the South, they
find themselves face to face, front to
front and point to point with the very
O' earn of the old Southern chivalry.
THE TALMAGE TRIAL.
The other great farce to which we
allude is the trial of the Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage before the Brooklin
Presbytery. The idea of connecting
this with the U. S. Congress was sugges
ted by the frequent charges of “plan
tation manners” so often made by the
republicans in that body against south
erners. As an exhibition of bad tem
per, bad manners, ruffianism and every
thing of that sort, this trial by a coun
cil of Christian ministers of one of their
number surpasses anything we ever
read or heard of in a civilized commun
ity. It would be an insult to the South
to call the manners of these ministers
of the gospel “ plantation ” manners.—
They call their assemblage a “Court of
Jesus Christ,” —they open with long
prayers and then they shake their fists
in each other’s faces and denounce each
other as liars and slanderers, and as
being actuated by the “spirit of hell.”
In short, if any one wishes to see an
exhibition of unbridled passion of un
chastened and and uncontrolled tem
pers and of rough, unpolished manners,
let him read the accounts of the Tal
mage trial as published in the New
York papers.
The Storms I,ast Week.
The heavy raius and winds of last
week did great damage to farms and
crops in some parts of the state, and
elsewhere. In Alabama, just beyond
Fort Gaines, a farm house and gin house
with all the property of the farm in
cluding two mules were blown away
and lost. About 30 persons were
more or less hurt, one fatally. A cy
clone struck the Dent place, six miles
east of Albany, and did great damage
by blowing away houses, fences, stock
etc. At Walterboro, South Carolina,
on Wednesday, over one hundred build
ings were blown down and 16 persons
killed.

THI3 LATE GENERAL TAY
LOR.
An Affecting Scene at the Dying
Man’s Bedside.
New York Special to the Washington
Post.
S. L. M. Barlow, in speaking of the
death of General Richard Taylor last
evening, said that General Taylor real
ized the fact that his death was inevita
ble, and, with his usual calmness, ex
pressed a desire that his funeral cere
monies should be of the most simple
character. “If I die,” he said, “bury
me, like a soldier, on a tented field; I
desire no pomp, no floral offerings : lay
me to rest quietly, and I shall sleep ail
the quieter.” During the day the resi
dence of Mr. Barlow was beseiged by
visitors, among whom were many mili
tary men and a number of Southerners
who fought under him. About a week
ago Mr. Samuel J. Tilden called at Mr.
Barlow’s residence to inquire after the
health of the General, whom he had
known intimately for the past ten or
twelve years. On hearing that the ex-
Govcrnor was below 7 , General Taylor
asked to have him shown up at once.
His attendants tried to dissuade him, on
the ground that in his critical condition
the excitement of the interview would
prove dangerous The General insisted
on seeing and conversing with the visi
tor, however, and Mr. Tilden was sum
moned to his bedside. The interview
which followed was an affecting one.
Mr. Tilden took the hand of the dying
man, and expressed his deep regret at
seeing him in such a condition. General
Taylor pressed the Governor’s hand in
return and thauked him for his sympa
thy. Mr. Tilden gazed for a moment
at the dying face and then, bending
over, kissed him upon the forehead.
“No man,” he said to General Taylor,
‘has ever had a wiser, truer or more unself
ishfriend than you have been to me.” Mr.
Tilden first met General Taylor at the
Philadelphia Convention, in 1866. He
was struck with his wit, candor, and
other engaging qualities, and the two
speedily became warm friends. Dur
ing his subsequent visits to the North
the General ea led frequently upon Mr.
Tilden, and the friendship begun in
1866 ripened into a close intimacy. In
the campaign of 1876 the General took
a very active interest in Mr. Tilden’s
canvass, and was one ot the most effic
ient workers in the Contest that ended
in his friend's election. Mr. Tilden
entertained the highest opinion of Gen
eral Taylor’s sagacity, and particularly
esteemed him for his moderate and
statesmanlike view's upon questions
growing out of the late war.
The Dublin Post mentions an outra
geous attempt at murder on Tuesday
night of last week, which it says for
savagery and cowardice cannot be sur
passed even in the annals of Indian war
fare. It says : “Mr. Pollard McLen
don, a good citizen, living fifteen miles
below Dublin, walked out into the yard
about an hour after dark, and was
standing with his back to the front fence
when he heard the click of a gun being
cocked behind him. lie turned his
head to look, and as he did so, the gun
fired, and he saw by the flash the face
of the man who shot, and recognized
him as G. W. Yates.* Ten buckshot
struck him in the lower left hip, rang
ing downward and passing out through
both thighs. It seems that Yates had
concealed himself on the outside of the
fence, and waited for McLendon to
come out. The fence was high, and
shooting from over it was the cause of
the shots ranging downward. Yates
dropped his gun and fled, and has not
been heard of since. It is thought
Yates wanted to kill McLendon because
of his opposition to Yates marrying his
daughter, whose affections he seems to
have won. During Superior Court
about seven weeks ago Yates came to
town and bought license to marry the
girl, but for some reason went to the
Ordinary afterward before leaving town,
returned the license and took back his
money. He had had a difficuby with
McLendon two weeks before the shoot
ing, but though both were armed with
guns uothing came of it, and Yates pre
tended to leave the community to be
gone some time. Yates is a carpenter,
originally from South Carolina, but
more recently from Telfair county, in
this State, where he Is sa.id to have
killed a man a short time ago, and for
which there is a warrant out for him.
He came into this county to do some
work for Mr. Beacham, a neighbor of
Mr. McLendon. Great indignation
prevails throughout the community, and
it would be an unlucky day for Yates
if he should be overtaken by the pursu
ers xvho are after him.” "
Covington Star: “On the morn
ing of the 16:h of April, 1849, just
thirty years ago, there wrs a heavy,
killing frost prevailed throughout
Middle Georgia, which destroyed all
the fruit and vegetation, and even
large trees were killed by the severe
cold. Fields of eaily wheat would
have burned over, in many sections,
like broom sedge, aud the corn and
cuttou all bad to ba plowed up and re
planted. A week of severe cold weath
er followed the frost, white a piercing
wind prevailed from the northwest.
It wa a gloomy and discouraging
time, but good crops were made that
year, and even the wheat, which was
bit down, sptouted out again and
made a pretty fair crop. It will al
ways be remembered by those who
were tiring at that time.”
Drouth in Texas,
Dallas (Tex vs) Herald: Reports
from the country yesterday were very
disheartening. The rain which we
thought fell in the northern portion of
the county a few nights ago amounted
to hardly more than a lightsprinkle,not
enough to do more than lay the dust
for a few hours. On many plantations
the wheat is not more than one foot
high and is heading out. Farmers are
holding back for rain before planting
cotton, as it would be labor lost to sow
seed. Fears are entertained of a fam
ine in corn and oats, and hence the
price of the old crop of corn is advanc
ing, with nearly every one holding on
to all they have. So far our vegetables
are nearly a total failure The Dallas
market at no time this spring has shown
scarcely any at all. The supply is get
ting less and less every day. At the
he ur of writing, the high and dry winds
which have prevailed for three weeks
are still olowing, with no moisture or
humidity in the air, and not a cloud to
be seen in the heavens. The situation
is bad enough. It was never worse, and
has not been so bad in the memories of
thirty years as it is now. All hope of
wheat is about abandoned. There is
time enough, however, to mrke a cot
ton and a corn crop if we can get rain.
The drought covers all that portion of
Texas lying upon a line of Denison and
San Antonio, including every county
west of it, and an average of two tiers
east. In portions of this territory peo
ple are hauling water for drinking pur
poses from three to six miles, and the
cattle depend upon the larger streams,
all of which are lower than can be re
membered.
The Late Cold Spell.
We are begining to get reports
from all parts of tbegState ot the dam
age donn by the recent co'd spell-
About Atlanta beans and potatoes
were nipped to the ground. Fruit in
|ow places was badly hurt, butinhigh
places only partially iujurel. Young
corn wasnippod down, but is putting
out again. No cotton has been plant
ed.
In Nort. Georgia the gardens are
not enough advanced to have been
hurt. But peaches are reported to bo
killed, The D.lton Citizen reports
this. The Marietta Journal tells a
curious fact, that in orchards that
have been plowed the fruit is killed,
hut not in orchards not plowed. Cul
tivating opened the ground admitting
the cold deeper and harder upon the
roots, thus giving a greater shock to
the trees
In Guinnetc crunty the Herald says
the corn crop was frozen and a large
portion of the fruit crop destroyed,
leaving, however, a fiir portion of the
fruit alive. AH through middle Geor
gia this same result seems to be gen
eral. The Jonesboro News reports
this:
In Southern and Southwes'ein
Georgia where the gardens and farm
ing were more advanced, the grounds
generally lower the damage seenm to
have been greater to both fruit and
gardens.
TtieThomasville Enter pr'se says that
the injury to vegetables and cotton
was very considerable, though not un
iversal. Many gardens seemed to
escape almost entirely while others
were severely damaged Irish pota
toes and field peas were injured, fully
ninety per cent being killed in many
places. Many similar patch®-’, how
ever, escaped almost entirely. The
diyness of the ground and atmosphere
occasioned by preceding winds pre
vented greatet damage. Fully a thou
sand acres of cotton were planted in
Thomas county the greater portion of
which will have to be re-p’anted, The
fruit crop was injured some what-
The Americus Republican says the
cold was injurious to the corn crop.
Gardens hurt Vory much. Fruit not
badly damaged, though some claim
it. Along the lins of the Central
Railroad fruit and vegetables have
been killed. — Planter &r Grange,
A Kansas City dispatch reports a
large number of negroo9 from the
South at Wyandotte in a destitute and
starving eonditicu, Many are sick
from exp sure and are dying. The
Secretary of War was called on for an
order for government rations fer their
relief, but he replied stating his ina
bility to comply, and suggesting that
Congress be asked for assistance. In
the meantime, a committee has been
appointed at Wyandotte which has
issued a call to the citizens of the
United States for relief, stating that
seventeen hundred entirely destitute
colored “refugees” are already in Wy
andotte, and thousands more in the
same condition are on the way, aud
asking for aid.
A Covington sensation is reported.
One dsy last week, it is said, a maid
■ n lady of thiity-five entered a store
in that place, and during her 6tay re
ceived a proposal of marriage from
one of the cletks, aged twen y-one.
She consented, a license waspiocured,
and in twenty minutesthey weie man
and wife. Doubtless the happy coup
le now realise how little idea we nicr- j
tals have of the blessings the gods
haye in store for us sometimes -
Dining on the Scaffold.
Two negroes recently executed in
Virginia made a request that they be
permitted to take their las: meal on
the scaffold. The sheriff consented
to tiiis whim, and the execution was
delayed somewhat on this account.
The prisoners said they only wanted
coff.e, eornbread and molasses, but
they wanted a good deal ot it, such as
it is was. Accordingly a woman in
•he neighborhood went to work and
prepared the meal. In the meantime
the murderers satcomposedly, the ob
served of all observers. About twelve
o’clock the repast was ready. A rick
ety old table and two chairs were
loaned for the cccasiou. These were
placed on the scaffold, and on the ta
ble were a pot of steaming coffee, two
pones of eornbread, a mugof sorghum
plates, spoons, &e. Smith took his
coffee without cream, but Christian
called for some of the lacteal fluid.
The cook had forgotten to send any,
and after a little delay it was brought.
Then the men begun their meal. It
took them nearly one hour to eat it.
They laughed a great deal, and when
they had cleared the dishes they re
marked: “The old woman gets up a
first rate dinner.” Theu they each
smoked a segar, and at one o’clock
they arose on the scaffold, and con
fessed the crime for which they were
condemned, and said they would go
straight to glory. At the close, and
just before the ropes were ti'd, they
requested the crowd to sing the hymn,
“Peace, peace, on the golden shore.”
Christian had a fine tenor voice, and
Smith sung a pretty fair bass, and
aftei the tune had been raised they
both joined in with a good will. All
of the spectators sang, and altogether
it was a musical feature of toe show
that might have been enjoyed by dis
interested spectators had not the oc
casion been such a serious one. At
1.15 o'clock all was ready. Hrnith
and Christian said, “Farewell” in a
loud voice, the prop was knocked from
under them, and the sentence of the
law was carried to its completion.
Interesting About Wheat.
Wheat found its way into Mexico
in 1530, by mere chance. A slave
found a few grains of something un
known to him, in his ration of rice,
and showed it to his master, who or
dered it plant'd. It proved to be
wheat.—From Mexico the cereal
found its way to Peru. Maria D’Es
cc-bar, wife of Don Diego de Chatirre
carried a few grains to Lima, which
were planted, and the yield for several
successive years was used for seed.
In Equader, wheat was introduced
by a monk of the order of St. Frances.
It is said that the identical jar in
which he kept the seeds is stdl in
Quito. Wheat was introduced into
tho United States contemporaneously
with the settlement of the country by
the English and Dutch. Exchange
The Oglethorpe Echo tells this most
remarkable of ell remarkable hen
stories. It says: “Mr. T. W. Ben
ton, one of the staunchest and most
reliable men in Wolfskiu district, last
Monday told ns a chicken story that
surpasses anything we ever heard.
Six years ago next July there was
hatched in that section a female chick.
With the exception of the usual ad
ventures with hawks and owls, this
interesting fowl reached the ago of
pulletliood without creating any un
usual excitement. She quickly won
the hearts of the lords of the barn
yard, and more than one pitched bat
tle was fought fer her favor by rival
cocks. In time she developed into a
steady, matronly hen, and not only
proved a good source of eggs, but sat
upon and hatched five littersof chirks
and one of geese, from which feat she
was known in the neighborhood as
‘the gosling hen.’ Last February,
however, a marked change was ob
served in the subject of this sketch.
First, tho roosters ceased to worship
at her shrine. A change was also ob
served in her general bearing, she as
suming decidedly masculine airs—
crowing with the voice and tone of a
thoroughbred ebantie'eer; spurs com
menced to grow from her heels; the
tail feathers lengthened and curved;
her tomb grew in lengih, and pow
this remarkable fowl has developed
into a full-fledged rooster. .It is now
on exhibition at Birrow’s mill. Hew
this unparalled change of sex was ac
complished we are at a loasto surmise,
unless Susan B. Anthony >s dead, and
her soul has been transferred to the
body of this old gosling hen.”

The fatality of Consumption or Throat and
Qc ! wng Diseases, which sweep to the grave at least

Opium or Morphine treatment, which simply stu-
Tf) ■ pefies as the work of death goes on. £lO, oocy will
' w |UjMld if Opium or Morphine, or any preparation
pyi of Opium, Morphine or Prussic Acicf, can ne found
in the Globb Flower Cough Syrup, which has
Eii, cured people who are living to-day with but one

■BLOOD
Grave mistakes are made in the treatment of all
diseases that arise from poison in the blood. Not
one case of Scrofula, Syphilis, White Swelling,
01 Ulcerous Sores and Skin Disease, in a thousand,
is treated without the use of Mercury iasome form.
y _ Mercury rots the bones, and the diseases it pro-
H duces are worse than any other kind of blood or
U skin disease can be. Dr. Pemberton’s Stillin
_ gia or Queen’s Delight is the only medicine
upon which a hope of recovery from Scrofula, Sy-
philis and Mercurial diseases in all stages, can be
W reasonably founded, and that will cure Cancer.
Hjor any ingredient not purely vegetable and harm
less can be found in it.
