E. H. Johnson, who was sentenced twelve
; rears ago to twenty years' imprisonment,
: or assaulting and robbing on express mes
senger in Memphis, was released from the
State prison at Nashville, Tuesday, on n
writ of nabeas conrpus. Johnson claimed
that under an act of the last Legislature,
;ranting good time to convicts, his term
lad expired. The lessees contended that
Johnson had forfeited his good timo by es
caping from the penitentiary, and that the
law was unconstitutional, because it pro
vided that the,lessees had to'agree in writing
to accept its provisions. .Judge Reid de
cided tbe law constitutional, as tho last
clauso declared it should take effect at once.
The decision affects the terms of over 100
convicts.
A TEXAN COURT SCENE.
FBOZBS CATTLE.
Enormous Losses ot Ranchmen on Account
of the Great Snow Storms,
Kansas City Timas.
The extent of the damage to Western ran
ges, occasioned by the recent snows, has
Dever been thoroughly comprehended for
tho reason that rauchinen havo been un
willing to have their losses known. It
has been claimed that few cattle have
died, whereas, if recent reports are to be
credited, the herds in many localities have
been decimated. “It is the most fatal
storm ever known in the West,” said Mi.
George D. Ford, a prominent cattleman,
who has just returned from a trip into the
Panhandle. “That of leat winter wasn’t a
circumstance to this one, though ranchmen
had good cause to consider it a pretty severe
one. I never saw anything like it. Along
tbe drift fence north of the Canadian river
dead cattle are strewn by thousands. An
actual count in places shows 150 dead ani
mals to tho mile. If this rate is kept Up
the entire length of the fence, which is 200
miles, there are 30,000 dead cattle in this
one place. They includo Colorado, Kansas
and No Man's Land through cattle that
have drifted down to the fence. Along the
Arkansas river, west of Dodge City, the
sitnation is as bad. The through cattle
have drifted down from the Union Paciflo
and have been frozen by thousands. The
irrigating ditch north of the Arkansas river
is f nil of carcases."
“How widespread is the damage?”
“it is coextensive with tho snow. In
Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas the
cattle are in good shape, but in Kansas,
the western part ot the Indian Territory,
and in Colorado, north of the Arkansas
river, tho losses on through cattle have
been frightful They will not fall short
of 50 per oent., and in some ranohea
southwest of Dodge City the losses
on the natives will aggregate 25
per cent. I tell yon there never has
been such a winter. Entire herds
of through cattle have been wiped ont. A
herd drifted down to Palodora creek in tho
Panhandle and took shelter ander a bluff,
around which runs a road. They died
there, and the carcasses bad to bo dragged
away before tho stage could pass. Around
Dodge City cattle in sheds were frozen to
death. Many of the smaller owners will be
bankrupt when Bpring opens, and I know
of some firms that were millionaires a few
yeara ago that haven't any money to spare
now.”
“Will the price of cattle go up in con
sequence of the losses?”
“I am afraid not, and that's what makes
the case so bad. There are lots of cattle in
other parts ot the country, and Texas cat
tle especially will affect prices. The Texas
people are hard up, and the Kansas, Colo
rado and Indian Territory men being unable
to buy them, they will sell at any prices."
The Japanese never stored ice till tho
advent of foreigners, but now they are os
fond of ice-watcr as anyone. They peddle
it on tho streets in hot weather, and tho
establishments of the wealthy are supplied
with ice-houses.

Peter Xanlheake, a Greek, was arraigned
before the recorder yesterday to answer for
the commission of a very gravo crime.
Xanthenke was represented by counsel, and
upon signifying bis willingness to plead
guilty to a simple charge of assault, the
recorder waiving evidence nnnonncod a fine
of (10 against the priaoner. Officer Hop
kins, who made the arrest and who also
claims that Xantheako offered him $100 to
release him before making the charge, here
protested against the action of tbe
court, whereupon his honor waxed
worm, and sentenced the officer to jail tor
twenty-four hours for contempt of court.
H then became Chief Jordan's time to | '
mad, and he informed the recorder that
nor any ot his offleora would obey the man
date of the court in committing Officer T
Hopkins. Tho recordor then replied that
he wmld get the sheriff and have tho chief
taken to jail for twenty-fonr hours if ho did
not mind his own business. The chief re
plied that he would like to see it attempted,
when the usual dignity of the court was re
stored by the recorder binding Xantheake
over in the sum of $500 to answer the
charge of aggravated aasanlt and continu

A Little Child'. Terrible Affliction That
Baffles Medical Skill.
A Youngstown, Ohio, special says: For
two years a little daughter of a poor blaok-
amith has suffered with a terrible affiiotion
which can only end in her death. The
child, Hattie Stanley, is but eight years ot
age. Her physicians pronounce it a new
case, nnd are utterly nnnble to (loal with it.
Sho is slowly bnt i-nrely being transformed
into a mummy. In October, 1881, sho wnn
attacked wilhlnfinmatory rheumatism. This
left the heart weak, and tho blood refused to
circulate to her finger tips. A gangrenous
condition of these parts followed. The
child complained ot an awful burning sen
sation in the hands, as if the fingers had
been held over a brazier. For five days she
kept np a constant screaming and was only

Two Hales of Cotton Raised In 1808 Just
Now Fat on tbo Market.
Bock Hill 8. C„ Herald.
On Tuesday last Mr. R. E. Guthrie, ad
ministrator of the estate of the late J. Har
vey Williamson, of Bethesda township, sold
two hales of cotton on this market which
was raised by slave labor on Mr. William,
son's plantation in 1862, nearly a quarter of
a century ago. Un account of the war there
was no satisfactory market for cotton,
and of the crop raised, that
year Mr. Williamson stored several
Imles under [his house until the
times might improve. After the war had
cml'id nnd Sherman's devastating march to
the sen had sacked the country of its live
stock. Mr. Williamson swapped three bales
of the cotton with the late 1). R. 8. Blake
for a mule. The balance w*e retained.
Afterwards Mr. Williamson brought
samples to Rock Mill and Mr. D. C.
Roddey, who wsa then in basinets
uer$, offered him 3d} cents per pound in
gold for it, bnt the offer was rejected
and the cotton still retained. At that
time gold was at a premium of 60 per
cent, hence Mr. Boddey's offer was equiva
lent to fifty cents per pound in currency.
Strangely enough, Mr. Williamson, in the
face of this extraordinary price, determined
to hold the cotton, and his death last fall
found it still unsold. Why he kept it so
long is a mystery that lies buried in the
grave with urn.
The cotton wsa packed before iron tics
come into use and in the days when there
was no roping to be had. Hickory writhes
were used instead, and the original bind
ings still hold the bales firmly together,
and are in a good state of preservation.
The lint is a* good as when the crop waa
gathered in 1862 and classed middling. The
cotton wsa bought by Messrs. W. L. Rod
dey A Co., at 8J cents per pound. A re-
inakkably circumstance is that on the day
that the cotton was finally sold the price
waa lower than it had boon sines it was
grown.
Beyond doubt, this is the oldest cotton
in tho world. At any rate, it is certainly
the only cotton in existence that wax raised
by Southern stave labor and baled in the
rude manner peculiar to the hard time* of
the let* war.

Tbia is how the old gentleman proved to
his son that he Y$a D9t M old a* his father,
Th* er had bought a “dooryaid hone,’
good looking enough, but worthless aa a
roadster. He wanted to get rid of him, and
io one day he pat a brad in tho end of hia
whip and started for hia son’s. As he
drove Into the son’s dooryard he stack the
brad into the hone, knocked off his bat
with his own hand, came np to
the door flying and apparently out of
breath. Tbe eon stepped to the door.
“Father, what havo you got there?” he
asked. “I have got tho Devil, and I wish
somebody had hiin; he has abont pulled
my arms ont of the sockets. He is worth
$1,000 to any man If he can drive him, hut
I have got to be too old to drive such a
horse aa that” Alter the old man had been
rubbed with liniment, and before he wen<
his son offered to swap
a nice $400 hone for the
pnller and to give $100 boot The old gen
tleman traded, had* some more liniment
robbed on hia shonlderx, and drove away.
Three week* later the father visited hia son
again. The father said to his son: “How
do yon like your new hone, George?”
“Father, how could you lie to mo as you
did?” “Did yon know you vote not ho old
as your father, George? “I never want to
