She left It where it grv...
And one Van Love as red as Are—
She paused to note Us hue.
And one was Trust—she stepped aside,
It fell beneath her tread;
She thought the tender flower had died,

Three ruses grew on bush and briar,
When next she passed that way;
She gathered Love, and lost Desire,
And Trust was hers for aye.

Augusta Chronicle and Constitution-
affet; Tbe trial of the case of Wm. H.
Johnson vs. the Geotgia railroad for $10,-
000, suit for damages, was conclnded at
Morgan Superior Court on Wednesday
last. The case grew out of an incident
which occurred iu the passenger train ot
:1m ail-w company one day'last- July.
Among the passengers on that train was
Wm. H. Johnson, a drummer, of Pitts- j
burg. Pennsylvania. While sitting in the '
ladies’ car ho pulled oiT his coat, and was
requested by Mr. Harry Hill, conductor,to
put it on again. Tfiis he refused to
do, when tbe train was slopped
near Madison and Johnson put oil. The
case has since excited considerable inter
est in railway circles. Tho trial
of tbo case resulted In a mis
trial. It is generally understood, how
ever, that the jury stood nine for no dam
ages. ana three for $100 damages. It is
not thought that the road would have
stood a cent damages, as they were con
testing the spirit and principle of the suit.
It is not now believed that the suit will
fee pushed further. "Sir. Fred
| C. Foster, of Madison, and
the Messrs. Lewis, of Greensboro, repre
settled Johnson, while Messrs. Joseph B.
Gumming, of Augusta, and Joel A. Bil

Columbus Enquirer Sun: Yesterday,
Dr. R. A. Ware, who fives a few miles
across the river in Alabama, brought quite
a number of silk worms of the Japanese
variety into tiie city. They appeared to
be about half grown, and were at work.
The doctor has a large number of silk
worms from which he is raising silk. lie
r °f feeding them the multlcanlis,
which is the species of mulberry most
used ia this country for feeding silk worms,
but there arc other species said to be as
good, while ail the varieties are good silk
worm food. Those who contemplate
entering upon the raising of silk should
first plant the trees upon which the worms
are to feed and have them well advanced.

for two of Ids little boys who had ran
away from home in search of“adven|

as the father told the writer, they were
the victims of a morbid feeling, produced
by reading sensational stories. The boys
were found here and about leaving for the
t country to hire themselves out to somel
farmer, as one of them satd, “to make al
fortune in a 1 ttle while.” The curse of
this age is the light sensational literature!

it ought to be suppressed.

Barxesville Gazette: Last Sunday as
Mr. C. Butler and family wore near thej
Martin place, a few miles from Milner, a
part of the harness gave way which let
the buggy pole to the ground. Upon pull

upon them, which caused them to take

both buggies were thrown out, and Mrs.
Butler and Mr. Buffington received some
slight Vruises. A little girl received an

I Columbus Sun: A circumstance re
cently occurred iu this city which should
servo as a warning, to show those who
are disposed to do so, that they cannot
bargain for goods and scitle up by leaving
the country. Last year a farmer from a
neighboring county mortgaged his crop
with one or our leading merchants for the
purpose of running his farm. When seU
I tling time canto lie sold everything he pos
sessed and left for the Indian Territoryj
Learning where he was, the merchant sent]
a man vested with legal authority to ar
rest him, and had him brought back in
chains. His father came to tho cit/, can
celed tho debt, paid the expense incur-]
red in going after him, and tbus got the
unfortunate man out of jail. This is the
tliird instance of the kind that has occur
red this winter, and it should serve as a
warning to those who try to run away
from the payment of wliat they owe, that
honesty is tbe best policy.
I Athens Chronicle: un last Wednes-j
day night, John Nolan and Lum Fisher,
two prisoners who were confined in our
jai!, succeeded in escaping from durance
tile. It will be remembered that these
were ihe two men who were cemmit-
ted for stealing cotton from Mr. Hopt
Weir and the Princeton factory. It seems
that the sheriff was accustomed to allow
Nolan and Fisher to walk around in the
passage way in front of their ceil during
the day, while Die door between was left
open. On Tuesday the grated door be
tween their Cfll anil tiie passage was left

When night came Mr. Weir came, ss
usual, and locked up the cell; but
so well was tho fracture in tho
hasp concealed, that he suspected noth
ing. After every one had retired, the
prlscnera loosened tho brokeu hasp and
were in tho ball. They thcit, witli the
pieco of hasp, made an opening in the
roof. They next tied tlioir blankets to
gether, and climbing out on tlio roof,
stretched their artificial rope, when they
easily reached the ground. Some trees
are just back of the wall which surrounds
tho jail, and it Is questiouabto
whether the prisoners climbed down tiie
blankets and into tho jail yard, and then
over the wall, or whether soma one fasten
ed the blankets for them to tho trees and
they climbed down into tho sheriff's gar
den. In either case, it is more than prob
able that they were assisted by patties
outside or the jail. They will probably
never be overtaken by the arm of justice,

Her DIatinsuIshM Send la Hose Hill
Cemetery.
Richard It. Clark in Sunny South.
Itistimo these articles ou tbe noble
dead in Bose Hill Cemetery were drawn to
a eloso. Not because there aro not others
who from their pnblio career or interest
ing circnmBtance3 in their lives are worthy
ot being thus commemorated, but to no
tice all so deserving would extend them to
a length that to the reader would be mo
notonous and wearisome. There are, how
ever, two old and honored citizens ot Ma
con, having beantiful monuments in the
cemetery, who present themselves to my
mind. Nathan O. Monroe and James H
R. Washington. In “the long ago,” they
together with L C. Plant, were respectively
and for many years Bt the head of tho only
banking institution in Macon. The money
pressure lasting from 1837 to 1848 had
swept away the local banka and their
places had to be supplied by ogen
cies of Savannah and Augus
ta. Tho two first named have
been “gathered to tweir fathers” for
many years, while tho latter (the youngest
of the three) yet survives to enjoy in his
old age the fruits of half a century of toil,
and tho sane fair reputation which has
stood the test of all changes, whethor icci
dent to prosperity or adversity. To Macon
“before the w.ir,” Nathan O. Muuro and
James and John H. R. Washington wero
linent, hut
not only good, nsefnl and prominent,
indispensable citizens. It cannot now
bo conceived tbnt in those times any other
men could have adequately sueplied their
places. The former confined himself
stric.ly to bis banking business and passod
his leisure time in tho enjoyment of litera
ry pursuits, while the latter took part in
the public and political affairs of his fel
low-citizens. He was frequently a member
of tbo city coancil, and was honored with
tho mayoralty. He represented Bibb
county in the Legislature, and was one of
its most intellectual and usefcl members.
Ho was a decided and positive character
who had no compromises to make in ex
chango for principle.
There also lises before mu in tha mist of
the past that man, who, in his time, was the
man ot all men in Macon—Thomas Harde
man, senior. Apart from his influence in
business life, he was famed for hi3 probity
and purity of character, and as a pillar of
the Methodist church in Georgia, os well as
Macon. His reputation in tbe latter was
shared by his youthful friend Robert A.
Smith, noted as well for his modesty and
gallantry as for his piety. As a colonel of
a regim.nt he is to be numbered with tha
other precious lives lost in battle.
There are yet others who have had no
pnblio career, whose fame has not gone
abroad—who have simply as good and use
ful citizens pursued tha “even tenor” of
life’s way, that deserve honorablo mention.
Of these some have slept tha eternal eleop
for many years, whiio other* have the
monnds yet fresh above them. The events
of th6ir fives, in the apt language of Dr.
Lipscomb, have not receded in the dis
tance, so as to take oa “the softened haze
of remoteness.” Among the latter aro Drs.
Strohecker, Roosevelt and Boone, ail dis
tinguished in Macon society ns worthy gen
tlemen and eminent physicians of differ
ent schools.
Also there is Wm. F. Brown—called fa
miliarly Billy Brown—cut off in his youth
ful monhooi when ho was fast a quiring
the reputation once enjoyed in the same
avocation by his worthy father and tbo late
Sterling Lanier.
Shall I not mention that innate and ami.
able gentleman, in whose bosom beat tho
kindest of hearts, 2 T. Uoimor? It is the
highest tribute I can offer to him, and the
most beautiful wreath I can lay upon his
grave, to say, “for him, my heart hath bled;
ter him, my eyes have wept.”
The question now presents itself to my
mind, shall I close theso comments whiio
they nre yet confinod to the so-called “lords
of creation ?” In that lovely cemetery of
so many graceful monuments, ia there no
mother, wife, or danghtor worthy of appro
priate notice? Men who figure in tho
marts of trade, in tho councils of the na
tion, on the fields of battle, live a heroio
life necessarily public, and their names be
come well known “to fortuno and to fame.”
Women are destined to a laborious and
monotonous round of duties, and to bo dis
tinguished only in so duty. In tither sta
tion, there are no chronicles, Tbe oppor
tunities are small, infiritesimally so, for
Joans of Arc, tiraco Darlings, or Florence
Nightingales; yet, if we could know tho
secret h story of each life, there aro more
real heroes among them than among men.
And heroes too whoso lives nre not blem
ished or darkened by oven a single vice,
white it is common to find a heroic man
over whose head a cloud hovers. Tho tost
of a true and refined civilization is the es
timate in whieh women nre hold. It takes
a long time to throw off all tlio relics of
barbarism, bnt gradually we aro boing re
lieved from all of thorn. As it is tho tono
of tho times to edacate girls as well as
boys, eo it is fast becoming the tono to
open to the employment of women depart
ments that havL hitherto been closed to
them. Ia many employments and indus
tries, experience has demonstrated that
they aro more usefal, skillful and reliable
than men. They are nover sick, or par
tially incapacitated from a spreo of the
generally leaving at their der.th an infant
or from t.vo to five or six little children.
This Is death in its most torrible form.
No matter what cemetery one enters, or
where it is, the inscriptions will give testi
mony that of this class of tho fend there
is an undue proportion. It is but recently
our own community was shocked by the
death ot a young married indy, dis
tinguished for her beauty and goodnes-,
who left, bereft cf a mother’s care, five
little children—as is said “just like steps.”
An eloquent divino once, after drawing a
vmd picture of the e»il in tho world, ir-
clnding the wickedilfess of man, reachod his
climax by turning his ey6s to tieaven. cud
with a dramatic offeet which thrilled his
audienco said, “uh. God! is this thy
work ? Iu rospoct of the largo nntnbor of
young married women who thus die, aud
leave their tender babes to tho lender mer
cies pf a wicked world, may I repeat, “Oh,
God, is this thg workSuch is onoof tho
forms of death whjph impressed itself n3

For the first time her first bora’s breath,
And thou art terrible -tho tear,

And all wo know, or dream or four,

As is stated in the inscription, Mrs. Tra-
oy was the danghtor of John and Caroline
Rawls. The father, John Rawls; was a
wealthy planter, having' largo estates in
the counties of Pulaski and Baker. He,
together with James Everett and Hartwell
Tarver, ownod much of their property in
common, and so acted in concert that the
name of one suggested the other. Jointly
or severally^ they had a financial status
in commercial circles such as was eoldoni
enjoyed by planters. Mr. Rawl3
died while tho oldest of bis chil
dren bad not emerged from
the condition of childhood. There wero
three of thorn, and ho left property enough
to make his widow and each of his
children wealthy. Mrs Tracy was
tho middle one in point of age. Site

for her beauty, grace and amiability.
She was known ns Miss Carrie Rawls, and
was one of tho holies of Macon, whore, at
the time, there was os fine a collection of
beautiful young ladies as cou.d lie found
in any city of the same size. It roust not
be inferred she was a belle in the stunning

her native modesty and lady-like reserve.

reach beyond a long honeymoon, when
Walker died. She then married Rhiiomon

married life was only another long honey

more important matters took tho piaoe of

read in n newspaper an article written on

A Frightful Runaway.
Yesterday morning, jast a few minutes
after tho band wagon containing* the brass
band of Robinson's Hnmpty Dnmpty
troupe, started away from the ball, a mule
attached to a brand new wagon loaded
with posts, took fright and dashed away
from where it was standing in front of
--ichwed, Sicsol & Gibian’s store on Cherry
street- The mule dashed off at full speed,
and eeemed determined to lighten
his load that ho might have a fall sway.
The first thing thrown off was the driver,

dropping them after tho fashion of a

Laramie City Boomerang.
The kingdom of heaven is liko unto a
certain railroad king, who made a mar
riage for his son.
And sent forth his cervants to call them
that were bidden to the wedding, but
they would not come.
And again he seat forth other servants,
saying: Tell them who are bidden, be
hold, we have killed the old hen and pre
pared the wedding dinner, and opened a
keg of nails—all things aro ready for tiie
blow-out.
But they made light of it and went their
way*, one to his farm, another to ills drug
store, another to his grist mill, and tbe
remainder took tho servants and entreat
ed them spitefully, and put a Uu ear on
them, and frescoed them with Michael
An;elo eggs.
But when tbe railroad king heard of it
lie bounced tbo whole outfit, and shut oil'
their railroad passes, aud raised tiie
freight tariff, and busted them up in tbeir
business, aud smote them sore on tbe ga
ble end of their’intellecta, aud made it
red iiot for them.
Then said lio unto his servants: The
wedding is ready, but they which were
bidden wero not worthy.
Go ye therefore down to the tracks,
and into the round-house, and to the wa
ter tanks, and tho cabooses and gravel
trains, and gather together as many as ye
shall find, and tell them to come over to
tho wedding feast and fill themselves np.
And the servants went forth and round -
