THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE

BY WITILIAM ROSS WALLACE,
Blessings on the hand of woman!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel;
O! no matter where the place!
Would that never storms assailed it;
Ruinbows ever gently eurled; y
For the hand that rocks the cradle;
Is the hand that rocks the world,
Infancy’s the tender fountain;
Power may with beauty flow;
Mothers first to guide the streamlets;
EFrom them sovls unresting grow,
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradia
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upoa your natal sod!
Keep, oh! keep the youne heart open
Always open 13 the breath of God.
All the trophies of the ages
Are from Mother Love impearled,
For the hand that roeks the cradie
Is the hand that rocks the world,
. Blessings on the hand of woman!
Failiers, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacred song i 3 mingled
With the worship in the sky;
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled;
For the hand that racks the eradle

Mormon BK.racles.
In the early days of Mormon
ism the preachers made many pre
tentions to working miracles.
One of them gave out that he
would make the Holy Ghost ap
pear at the baptism of John, in
the form of a dove. He toek an
Trvish farm hand into his confi
dence, who was to let down a dove
from a place in the ceiling when
he called for the Holy Ghost. A
place was made for it with a
moveable board over it, Before
the ceremony on Sunday, the
Irishman had got a little overload
ed, bub took his place with the
dove. Wihile he was asleep a cat
came and eat the dove, and the
Irishman secing the blood and
feathers, wasin a fix, for while
looking at it the preacher eried
out, “loly Ghost! appear!” A
second time he gave the same cry.
For the third time he cried out in
a voice of thunder, “Holy Ghost!
appear!” In a fit of desperation
Pat shoved his face through the
opening and bawled out: “Arrah!
how. the divil ean the Howly
Ghost appear when the ecat has
ate him up?” That ended Mor
mon miracles in that country for
all time.
A Brutal Woman,
It would be hard to imagine a
more outrageous treatment be
stowed upon a child than that
which little Annabella Melville, of
New York, received at the hands
of an annt with whom she was liv
ing. The child was mischievous.
She committed the feartul erime
of asking questions. She even
carried her frightful error to the
extent of picking the fringe of the
curtain to pieces, and, horrible to
relate, she was noisy. I'or this
she was punished by being kept
tied down to the floor of a closet
two and a half feet wide and five
feet long for fourteen months. A
piece of sash cord was used to ac
complish this. It was fastened
around her waist next to the skin
and was too short to allow ths girl
to stand up. By gradually tight
ning, the cord had imbeded itself
in the girl's flesh. When she was
finally discovered and taken ont
she was found to be emaciated to
a painful degree, and her fingers
were like the eclaws of a bird.
Fear and punishment have re
duced her wind almost to a state
oi idiocy. And this in the latter
half of the ninetecnth century and
in the leading city of America.
The Commissioner Justified.
The explanation of Sam Jones
to Commissioner Henderson in re
gard to “the bare hills” will not
do. The expression “now if you
lived down on the bare hills of
Georgia where we can’t make more
than three or four bushels of corn
to the acre” isa descriptive term
conveying the impression that he,
Sam Jones, was alluding to the
goneral rule as to the condition of
Georgia. Col. Henderson did right
to notice th's fling at Geeorgia. Sam
Smsll in bis speeches in the East
made flings at the South which
would have sot well on the vilestcf

THE MAN EATER’S TRIAL,
A Tragedy that Surpasses the
Arctic Sea Horr‘or.
New York Sun.
The second trial of Alfred Pack
er, better known as the “Man
Eater,” was concluded at Gunni.
son City, Colorado, last Tharsday.
The crime which Packer was
found guilty of and for which he
has been sentenced to the peniten
tiary for forty years, is one of the
most horrible on record. In the
early part of the winter of 1873
Packer, in company with five oth
er prospectors—lsreal Swan, Wil
liam Dell, George Noon, Frank
Miller and James Hamphreys—
started from Bingham, Utah, for
the new mining district in San
Juan county. - The winter was so.
vere and game scarce, and when
the party reached the place where
Leke City now stands they were
‘out of provisions and suffering
from the intense cold. Here they
‘went into camp, and one night
Packer murdered Lis companions,
and for fifteen days lived on the
flesh of the déad. Packer made
his way to the Los Pinos agency
in the early part of 1874, where
1 he represented that Bell had gone
crazy with hunger and murdered
the other four men while he
{Packer) was out hanting for
‘ game. On his return to the camp
}Bell attacked him with a hatchet,
and he was compelled to kill Bell
‘in self-defense. Packer was ar
rested, had a preliminary hearing
‘and was confized in tho Sagauche
Jail, from which he escaped the
same year. In 18S3 he was re
captured at Fort Fettermah, Wy.
T., where he went by the name of
John Swartz. At his first trial
he was convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hangad.
The trial which has just elosed
was sne of the most remarkable
known. The last day Packer took
the stand and tgstified in his own
defense. He looked pale, his
che~ks were hollow and his eyes
sunken. He stood up while giv
ing his testimony, which oceupied
two and a half hours, At times
he beeame excited and emphasized
his words with gestures, and not
infrequently with oaths, until re
strained by his attorney. No sto
ry could be more excitedly inter
esting and horrible than the bare
recital of how he and his five
companions wandered aimlessly
about the mountains without food,
raving mad with hunger, eating
their mocecasins, willow buds, rose
buds, and finally devouring each
other. Then, after the death of
the remainder of the party, the
cold, unfeeling account of how he
took flesh from the legs of his
companions, boiled it in tin cups
and ate It, has never been egualed
in the history of jurisprudence in
America. He admitted that cice
or twice his stomsach refused to
retain such a feast. Finally his
will conquered the animal we.k
ness, and he prepared the food
and ate it without any trouble.
All these ecircumstances wers
listened to with the closest atten
tion by the court, jury, lawyers
and spectators. It was only when
the cross examination uncovered
the weak points in the narrative
and the wiltness testified to the
impossible circumstances that the
truth of the story was questioned.
He teztified as follows:
“My name is Alfred Packer. T
kave been in the mountains for
many years. I was in Utah in
1873, and I worked in the mines
there unt'l I became leaded.
[This is a form of lead ecolic pe
culiar the men employed in the
vicinity of the smelters in Utah
and Nevada.] Then I came to
Salt Lake, and there I worked a
while in a smelter. I was still
afilicted, and in the [all of 1873 I
joined a party at Bingham Can
on fcr a propecting] trip to
San Juan coanty, in Celerado
Territory. I traveled with Me-
Grew, to whom I gave $3O for my
passage, and I was to work for
the balance of my fare. I had
$25 left. We reached Dry Creek,
near Chief Ouray’s camp, in Jan
uary, 1874. Here the party sepa
rated. Isreal Swan,George Noon,
Fraunk Miller, James Hamphyoys,
Shannon Wilson Bell and myself
started from Ouray’s cawp for the
San Juan. It'was-cold, snow was
deep and travel difficult. Wo
gave up our h ots-and tied blank
ets about our feet. e had to do
it to keep from freezing. Old
man Swan gave out first. He was
old and in thin flesh. Our bread
gave outon the ninth day. We had
only eaten one meal a day during
the last few days, becanse it was
storming and blowing so that we
could not see but a few feet before
us. We were keepivz up toward the
summit of the hil's, aiming for
Los Pinos agency. Bell first gave
up bis moccasins, and we made
one meal of those, boiling them.
I next gave up ¢, and then the
others did like&iso. Bell had a
hatehet and Noot: had a gun, but
I carried the ¢i:f @bout half the
time. T thi:k we raust have been
out in the mouu‘ainsg several
wecks after runniig ont of food.
The men were geiting desperate,
and Bell seemed to be getting era
zy. His eyes protruded from his%
| head. While tho others com
plained and talked he remained
silent. The men eried for salt.
They did not ask for food; it was
ouly salt, salt. W had been eat
ing willow and rose buds for sev
eral days, having found some in
the valley near thotlake, whore
Lake City now stands. We had
run outof matches, and ecarried
fire with usin a coffee pot.
“One day we saw a game trail
on the mountains, and it was
agieed that I should go on the{
trail, as I wasthe strongest. I
took the Winchester rifle and

that the rest of th m were dead |
and that the meat Dell was cook- I
ing was flesh from Huamphreys’

that night. I then made my camp

‘here for possibly fifteen days
During this time I was erazy with |

Bell’s leg and boiled it in a tin{

sick. After thig I frequently ate ‘
the meat, and several times I tried ‘
to get out of the country. I

failing to see any hope would re

I bad bought a horse, and saddle
from Otto Metz far $75. Return

The prisoner related how he
was treated by the ofticer; how he
was provided with a key to his
shackles and a sack of grub, and
‘how, while the Sheriff was gone
from home, he released himself
and made bis way to Canon City
and from there to Peublo, wheve
he staid that sammer and raised
a’'crop of corn and sold it. Lhen
he went to the mountains of Wy
oming and Mentana, traveling un
der the name »f John Swaris.
Returning to those parts of the
narrative which he omitted Pack
er said:
“I am accused of robbing the
dead. Yes, I did rob the dead
when I cat the flesh from the
bodies, preparing to startout over
the range in search of civilization,
I theu took 85 from Swan's pock

from Miller. Here is where I did
wrong. I robbed the dead, bat I
knew the money wounld do my
dead comrad2s no good, and I,
being yetalive, thought the money
might help to save my life. lam
willing to take the blame for rob
bing the dead, for it was wrong.”
For {ive hours Packer occupied
the stand and proved the most re
markable witness that was evor
examiued in this country, if old
attorneys may be' believed. He
would abide by no rule, and usu
ally he kept the attorneys on the
defonsive or fired questions at
bhim in su excited manner; and
frequently to the great amuse
ment of those present. He proved
incorrigible, Inconsisteat, irre
pressible, aud violent, aud he was
finally excused, pale and tremb

: CHATAUGUA, . Y%
; Augnst 1836, ™%
, Me. £pitor:— The appear
ance of the JOURNAL on yester
!duy put us in & frame of mind to
write homa. Our trip thus far
has been very pleasant and with
out accident. We were entertain
ed with the variety of country
through which we passed on our
way here and the nature of its
productions. In Georgia and Al
abama to near Calieo we foand
corn and cotton. Neither of these
crops were good. Terrell county
seemed to us the best farming
country of all this section. Next
we passed throngh a mining coun
try—coal and iron. This was a
very pictaresque section. The
hills towered above us on either
side, 2ich forests of pines gave
them a romantic appearaunce and
the variegated stones of irregular
shape and disposition lended to
the novelty of the view. Bir.
mingham, the home of Me. Dur
ham, wellsknown in your ecounty,
is in the midst of this section and
gives token of its thrift to the
traveler as he passes mpidlyf?
through it on the cers. The road.
passes many iron works and signs
of the coal industry are seen on
every sido. We next entered the
valley of the Tennessee. This is
the place of beautiful farms;eorn,
grain and the grasses are its sta
ples. Mules, ko ses and beautiful
cattle—mostly Jerseys-—adorn the
verdant and golden pastures..
The route throngh Tennessee and |
Kentucky, to near Louisville, sug
gests solid prosperity and looks!
like a land of plenty. The to
bacco conntry next comes to our
wview. Large fields planted in the
‘ weed are & novelty to oar uniniti
‘ated eyes. It 2ertainly tekes the
' place of cotton. Just where youn'
iwonH see a cotton pateh on the
hillside in Georgia or Alabama
Iyou see the tebaeco field there:
i This was succeeded by the section
'of large grain farms and great or
chards. The scenery on the route
we selected is not as geod as the
other routes, brt it was entertain
ing to us. The prettiest natural
‘scenory we saw was the Teunes
see at Decatar. The prettiest
town was Bowling Green, in Ken
!tucky. The handsomest city was
lom' own Nashville. We spent
one day and two nights at Nash
ville, We tound the people very
‘;kind. Every stranger seemed to
take pleasure in extending the
courtesies of the place tous. We
' visitad Vanderbilt and were shown
by polite janitors and managers
‘ through its beantiful grounds and
‘magnificent baillings. On the
‘ grounds we met Bishop MeTyiere,
who gave us a cordial welecome to
‘ the grounds and a pressing iuvi
? tation to dine with him. We
were delighted with the elegant
rezidences on Broad, Spruce, Viue
and geveral other streets. We
went through the naw Custom
House, a grand building built of
frosted etone with toweringz tur
rets. The floors are tesselated
with many colored stones of va
ried shapes and arvangemcuts.
On the first floor was the post of
fice, the best appointed and most
thoroughly furnished for work of
any we had ever seen. Ou the
next floor were the levenue and
custom rooms. On the third the
court department with jury rooms,
judge’s, clerk’s and marshal’s ofli

very fine, |
Our next visit was to the Ten

is a massive and imposing build- |

about the building is stone. 1t

The Women in Switzerland.
Mr. Watterson in a letter from
Switzerland writes: “The women
appear to do all the work. Itis
not unusual to see a girl and a
dog hitched to a cart and trotting
along together like a pair of po
nies, The men, great strapping
fellows, idle and lazy, loat about
the ~trasseries. Their wives,
daughters and sisters till the
fields and supply the markets.
The dog, the goat and the cow
perform the offices commonly per
tormed in other lands by the
horse, the ox and the mule, The
bear is a sacred animal. So is
the lion. The donkey does fancy
duty at the summer resorts, But
there is nothing to which the
Swiss woinan may not turn her
hand, from milking a goat to saw
ing a cord of wood and drawing a
load of hay. She is put to work
in her ehildhood, and i .fore she
reaches her maturity she looks
like a grandmother, wrinkled and
weather-beaten, bent and eare
worn. This eirenmstance, which
appears at every turning and is
written upon each countenance,
leaving a painful impression and
discredits the national character.
A people so independent and so
brave, so unaffected and so frugal
as the Swiss are admitted to - be,
ought to be gentler.”
Interesting Expericnces.
Hiram Cameron, Furniture
Dealer, of Columbus, Ga., tells
his experience thus: “For three
yvears have tried every remedy on
the market for Stomach and Kid
ney Disorders, but got no relief
until I used Elecetric DBitters.
Took five bottles and am now
cured, and think Electric Pitters
the test Blood Purifier in the
world.”—Maj. A. B. Reed, of
West Liberty, Ky., used Eleetrie
Bitters for an <ld standing Kid
ney affection and says: “Nothing
has ever dore me so much good
as Electric Bitters.” ' '
