Atlanta lists indulged in another
walking match. One thousand two
hundred dollars gate money was ta
ken in. A two hours walk came off
at Crawfordville, and a twelve hours
match has occurred at Marietta.—
Walking matches have suddenly
become very popular.
The Atlanta (Constitution began
some time ago to fail to arrive about
once a week; its failures increased
to twice and thrice a week, and
now its arrival has become exceed
ingly uncertain. This is very an
noying to its subscribers here as
well as to ourselves. When our
Constitution fails to arrive we con

Poor, miserable fraud Ilayes!—
He lent himself a tool in the hands
of unscrupulous men to perpetrate
a foul crime against the rights of
the American people, lie knew
the magnitude of that crime and
the injustice he was committing,
and now he is suffering the penalty
of his stupendous fraud at the
hands of the very men for whom
he gave up all claims to honor and
honesty. Notone of them can be
found so low as to do him honor;
his name is never mentioned by
them except in ridicule and derision.
Not long since Henry Want Beech
er, who is. himself steeped and sat
urated in corruption, boldly and
ilippantly cast contempt and sneers
upon his name and administration
in addressing a large audience of
the elite of the city of New York.—
Ex-President Ilayes is forever rele
gated to oblivion, and with the
lapse of time will the memory of
his name grow fainter ;his is a living
death, and in his solitude he may
have ample time to reflect over the
enormity of the crime which lie de
liberately perpetated against the
people, and pray for fogiveness for
Ills great sin.

O, why slumKl the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like a swift fleeting meteor, a fust llylng
cloud,
A flush nf the lightning, a break of the wave,
Man passes from life to his rest In the grave.
The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade;
lie scattered around and together be laid,
And the young and the old, and the low and
the high,
Shall moldcrto dust and together shall die.
The infant a mother attended and loved,
The mother that infant’s a fleet Ion who proved,
The husband that mother and infant who

Kach, all, are away to their dwellings of rest.
The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, In
whoso eye,
Shone beauty and pleasure—her triumphs aro
by:
And the memory of those who loved her and
praised
Are alike from the minds of the liviugerased.
The hand of the King that tlio scepter hath
borne,
The brow of the priest that the miter hath
worn,
The eye of the sage and tl(e heart of the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to
reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up
the steep;
The beggar, who wandered In search of Ids
bread,
Have faded away like the grass that wo tread.
The salat, who enjoyed the communion of
heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones lu the dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flower or the
weed
That withers away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those wo behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For we are the same our fathers have been;
We see the same sights our fathers have seen—
Wo drink tho same stream amt view tlm

And run the same course our lathers huvo

The thoughts we are thinking our fathers

From the death we are shrinking our fathers
would shrink.
To the life wo are clinging they also would

Hut it speeds for us all, like a bird on tho

They loved, but Hie story wo cannot unfold,
They scorned, hut tne heart of the haughty is

They grieved, hut no wall from their slumbers

They Joyed, hut the tongue of their gladness

Who walk on the turf that lies over their
brow,
Who make in their dwelling a transient abode,
Moot the things that they met on their pil

Veal hope and despondency, pleasure nml

We mingle together in sunshine and rain;
And the smiles and the tears, tho song and

'Tis the wink of an eye, ’tis the draught of a

From the blossom of health to the paleness of

From the glided saloon to the bier and the

We copy the following just and

“The Record of a Broken Oath;

His feet were burning as freely
as sticks of kindling wood; his fin
gers were lighted like so many ta
pers; ids hair was blazing like a
pile of fat pine shavings, and the
flames were running up and down
ids entire body. He sat there kick
ing his legs out, clutching at the
flame and laughing at the sensa
tions it seemed to produce. When
lie would snap his eyes sparks
like those produced by striking flint
with steel would fly out and scatter
in all directions. Then lie would
run his tongue out, licking up the
Are around him, then puff it out of
his mouth in jets and curls as if
it were smoke from a pipe, The
sight was truly a wonderful one.
All of a sudden lie gave a quick,
strong blow, and all was extin
guished as if by magic. The re
porter was now dumbfounded, but
shortly recovered and sought the
front door hell. It was evidently a
case requiring investigation. Quite
a handsome, middle-aged lady an
swered the ring, and on being
told the nature of the call, she in
vited the scribe in and told him till
about little Jerry.
She said that she was liis mother,
and that her husband, John L. Ilib-
bert, was still alive and doing con
tract work on the railroad. Jerry,
she said, was the youngest of three
eliidren, and was now six years of
age.
When he was horn, his very deep
carnation color was the cause of
much uneasiness to both parents,
but the doctor said at the worst it
could only be eczema; so, as soon as
his constitution would permit, they
commenced to rub him with all
sorts of salves, and liniments, hut
Jerry only became the redder after
each application of the prescribed
preventives. Then the physicians
said it was some sort of hereditary
complaint, but as no disease could
be traced hack as far as the great
grandparents it was left to be sup
posed that the family tree must
have been sick at some period of
antiquity, then recovered only to
break out again in little Jerry.—
Jerry, however, grew a pace, not
withstanding the fact that he was
laboring under the disadvantages
of weighty medical opinions. Ev
ery month found him fatter and of
a brighter vermilion line, and by
tho time he was three years of age,
lie was aglow with a red heat.
Just about tliis time the nurse
girl came in one morning scream
ing that Jerry was on fire, and she
couldn’t put him out. The mother
ran to her hoy only to find him in a
circle of flame. Jerry was in full
blaze hut was not being consumed.
Water was thrown over him, hut to
no purpose. Then they wrapped
him in a blanket, hut it was useless.
Jerry continued to burn right
along. The incident created quite
a commotion in the house, and baf
fled the ingenuity ot-tho inmates.—
Just then, however, the door swung
open, a gust of wind canto in and
Jerry went out.
This was quite a relief, and gave
time to send for a doctor. The doc
tor came, and on hearing wluvt had
happened, immediately sent for
more doctors. Consultation on tho
subject discovered a variety of med
ical theories and opinions, none of
which, however, seemed to reach
Jerry’s case, at least so far as cur
ing it was concerned. The girl ex
plained that Jerry, at the time of
tho outburst, was sitting on the floor,
along which he drew his linger,
calling to her to look at tho bright
spot on the end. Hite looked and
saw the digit burning like a candle.
Suddenly it took a running start,
and Jerry was completely in flames.
Ever since that day Jerry lias
been subject to catching on fire, and
seems to enjoy tho act immensely.
A draft of air or a puff wind always
puts him out, which ho can do by
blowing on himself. It is impossi
ble to dress lijiu up, or for him to
sleep in hctl like ordinary children.
His father has procured a small
iron beadstead for his use; lie plays
in the rain anti stands cold weather
without either having the least ef
fect on him. 11 is mother laughed
at tho suggestion of exhibiting hint
in public, hut will allow any one
who desires to call and see him
at any time.
Tito reporter called on several of
tho eminent physicians of the city,
and although several of them have
already examined the case, they
were not prepared to pass any defi
nite opinion upon it. It might lie a
mixture of some kind of gasses that
in some unaccountable way got
confined under the skill and that
contact With tho air caused it to
Ignite. It might ho a germination
of fluid electricity, hut nevertheless
it is an extraordinary case, and one
that tho faculty will endeavor to
solve and cure if possible.

To II:* a Christina, or the Maid or Athens as She
is Viewed In Louisville.
Louisville Post.
Athens, Georgia, (a pocket edition
of tile classics) emulous of the re
nowned love romances of her Gre
cian namesake, presents us with the
most marvelous love taleof modern
times. It is marvelous in its start
ling originality, for its heroine will
go down to incredulous posterity as
the “girl who was afraid to get mar
ried.” Observe, we say “the girl,”
not “a girl,” constrained thereto by
the fact that this maid of Athens is
the first one of her mysterious sex
ever known to have the least fear
of matrimony, or any of tho rights,
privileges, duties, perquisites and
consequences thereto appertaining.
Mr. Christian, aged twenty-three
years, was betrothed to Miss S. A.
Loclilin, of Athens, aged nineteen
years, and the last Sunday in April
was set for the nuptials. There
would have been a fitness of things
luvd she set April 1, but site didn’t.
The lovers were of the first rank,
and the beauty and chivalry for
many miles around were invited,
on perfumed cards, to see the Maid
of Athens take up the cross of mar
riage and become a Christian. The
morning of the wedding day had
arrived, the bride’s trousseau and
the bridegroom’s trousers .were
ready, when a letter, signed by the
young lady, was handed to the un
happy Christian, telling him that
site loved hut could not marry,
through fear, and enclosed ijto for
repayment of license and other ex
penses, ending up with, “Good-bye,
my long loved one, good bye.”
Sweet Romeos and Juliets of all
ages, without respect of sox, color
or previous condition of “the affec
tions,” paste this in your scrap hook,
for never will you find its lellow!
Cupid here feathered its arrows for
a new departure, as politicians say.
Eve, had site known how to write,
would never have indited such an
epistle to Adam, nor Helen to Paris,
nor Hencise to Abelard, nor Ophelia
to Hamlet, nor voluptuous Cleopa
tra to iter royal lovers, nor even the
shrinking Sara Bernhardt to her
countless admirers. Incomprehensi
ble, inscrutable girl! Even as the
sable Georgian fiddler was tighten
ing his ilddlestrings and rosining his
bow to tickle the breasts of the
dancers with music’s voluptuous
swell, and the soft eyes of the Athen
ian beauties “looked love to eyes
which speak again,” tho affrighted
Loclilin fled. She pleaded that she
was “tempted to fly.”
The last two nights before the
wedding day she calls the most
miserable of iter life. Probably
heartburn or colic. A pinch of soda
or ten drops of Jamaica ginger
would have settled that. Site
pleads “I must obey the call.” Who
called her? “Succumbs to coward
ice” at the hare thought of a bridal
gown, though trimmed with clouds
of laces rare in texture and fabu
lous in cost, and buttoned with the
daintiest brilliants.
We are slightly exasperated that
site sent Mr. Christian a ifo bill to
compensate him, for her love was
plainly not a iff) article.
On receiving this extended letter
from his betrothal, Christian pur
sued and overtook her at the home
of her sister in a neighboring coun
ty. Miss Loclilin threw her arms
around his neck and wept bitterly,
consented to return and lie married;
and, finally, backed out. “Almost
thou persuadest me to he a Chris
tian!” And the unhappy Lacey,
gazing tearfully at her retreating
form, responded: “Almost—but
lost!”
This American romance is almost
without a parallel. In vain does
this wretched Christian exclaim,
in the words of Byron:
"Maid of Athens, ere we part,
(11 vo, oh! give me bunk lay heart!”
His Maid of Athens was to his
lips as sweet as Maid of Orleans
(molasses). “None but herself can
he her parallel.” Women have
been known to run from a sheep, to
scream at a bottle, to faint at the
sight of a mouse; but to be afraid
of getting married never!
this young man came a stranger to
Erie. Among those upon whom lie
made a good impression was Win.
B. Scott, the railroad magnate and
millionaire, who, after a brief ac,
quaintance, offered Mr. Hadley a
position of trust in his service. The
young gentleman was placed where
it was part of his duties to make
large disbursements of money.
A few weeks ago it was discover
ed that false entries had been made
in the cash account. Investigation
revealed the fact that a systematic
embezzlement had been practiced
after the first month of his service,
amounting to thousands of dollars.
Ho was arrested, and with seeming
indifference to his fate pleaded
guilty. Ills chief desire since his
confinement lias been to ho sent to
the penitentiary without delay,
which is accounted for by fears ex
pressed that some of ids family,
especially his wife, would hear of
Ids whereabouts and come here to
confront him. Iiis anxiety on this
more probably arose from the fact
that a young lady of good family-
believing him single, had promised
him her hand and was making pre
parations for her marriage.
Judge Galbraith regretted tho
necessity of having to consign a
man of such promise to the State
Prison, hut sentenced him to two
years’ separate and solitary confine
ment with hard labor. Mr. Iladley
was handcuffed and marched to
the place where the rest of the sen
tenced prisoners were awaiting
transportation to Allegheny.
“My God, am I then a convict!”
he exclaimed as the Sheriff chained
him with a repulsive featured burg
lar. From papers and letters dis
covered by the officers who search
ed his lodgings, it would appear
that lie is a graduate of Yale.

ST. Louis, Mo., IN lay 2(>.—Further
details of the terrible crime of Mrs.
Edmondson yesterday show that
the woman was unusually gay-
spirited the evening before the
family retired at 11 p. m. Mr. and
Mrs: Edmondson and the two
youngest children, Cora and Au
gusta, occupied one bod. Emma,
aged five slept in a cot in the next
room, and Willie aged nine, on the
floor at the foot of his parents’ bed.
At 4 a. m. the woman crept stealth
ily out of bed and forcing open a
writing desk took out a razor. She
tiptoed hack to bed, nntl reaching
over her husband’s body drew the
blade across the four months baby’s
throat. Site then went around the
bed and cut little Cora’s throat.
Neither child moved, and the
father slept. She then walked into
tlie next room, and after cutting
Emma’s throat, ran back to bed.
The child’s screams wakened iter
father, who rushed into the room
and saw the little one bathed in
blood, crying “Mama!” Looking
hack, he saw his wife in the act of
cutting her throat. He seized the
razor, hut site had already inflicted
mortal injuries. She could give no
explanation of her deed except
that the children were better off
dead than alive, and site feared the
house was going to fail on them.
Emma will recover. The two
babies died instantly. Edmondson
is a locomotive engineer. The wife
is a handsome Swedish woman.

ORDERS FROM THE COUNTRY SOLICITED.
Erie, May 20.—“Have you eoui-
muuleated with your family, sir?”
asked Judge Galbraith to a prison
er awaiting sentence In court. Tho
culprit was a refined and well edu
cated young man, said he had not,
nor did ho propose to. lie had
given his name and tlie other par
ticulars because ho had an objec
tion to give untruthful answers to
tho court’s questions. He prefer
red to expiate his crime ia silence,
and would sutler anything rather
than his disgrace should la* known
to them. The prisoner was Brooks

shoe manufacturer of Stoneitam,
Mass., and the son-in-law of tho
Connecticut millionaire, Elisha

Against l.lrenshig Women to I'rcneh.
In the General Conference of tlie
Methodist Episcopal Church at
Philadelphia, on Saturday last, a re
port denying orders to women as
preachers was adopted after two
days’ heated debate, ltev. Mr.
Hamilton, of Boston, was the lead
ing advocate for licensing women,
hut tlie majority prevailed against
it. Tito doctrine of Paul, in his
Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter
xiv, verses ill and &">, is as follows:
“Lot your women keep silence in
the churches, for it is not permitted
unto them to speak; hut they are
commanded to lie under obedience,
as also saith the law. And if they
will learn anything, let them ask
their husbands at home; for it is a
shame for women to speak in tlie
churches.” Tlie Philadelphia Times,
in commenting on tiiis action of
conference, says: “If the Methodist
body, like tho Presbyterian, held to
the Pauline doctrine that women
should not speak or take public
part In church services, the action
of the conference yesterday would
be entirely consistent. But It does
not go this far. It encourages the
women to take active part in ail
kinds of church work, public and
private, even to the extent of
preaching in many instances, and
only draws tho line when tlie
woman asks public recognition as a
preacher and the salary that goes
along with such recognition.”
