EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY WORTHILY
BESTOWED.
h«* Governor Parilonti George llrown, the
Convict Who A*«Uled the Authorities
In SuppreiulDG: the Mutiny at
the Dade Coal Alievs.
Atlanta July!®.—A few months ; prior to March
term, 1878, of the Superior Court of Cobb county,
a yonng man of fine appearance and respectable
bearing came to Marietta and settled there to make
his fortune. He eras a atrauger to tho people, knew
no one, and brought no letters off iintroduction.
Goon after there was Information that an escaped
oontict for whom a rewaod was offered was hiiing
in the county. The young man, who was active
and .fearless, had a consultation with the sheriff of
the county, and it was decided that he ahould go
and capture the fugitive. The sheriff appointed
him a deputy for the time, and it is in evidence
that he instructed him to shoot if the convict at
tempted to escape. When the young man, who on
the trial gave his name as Oeorge Browu, reached
the reported hiding place tho convict broke from
him and ran. Brown drew his pistol and flred, and
the convict fell. The wound proved a mortal
and when the matter became known Drown was in
dicted for murder, tried and convicted at the March
term, 1878, of the Superior Court, and sentenced to
be bung.
When the facts came to be calmly considered by
the coeamunity it was realized that a great injus
tice had been committed in the name of law, and a
atreng petition was presented to Governor Colquitt
urging executive clemency.
The Governor, January 9, 1879, commuted the
M&tC&CSiO lffipri!?r.E*ct for Ilfs In the]
tiary, and Brown was sent to the Dade coal mines.
ANOTHER APPEAL TOR CLEMENCY.
In July following there was a legislative excur
sion to the Dade coal mines, and among the party
waa Dr. James A. Gray, of this city. He saw Dru*«
«t work and was struck with bis at pearance.
From his general bearing and conduct, which
waa anything but that of a hardened crimi
nal. he conceived the Idea that here
waa a man who ought not to bo wearing
•tripes and shackles. He spproachod him and
tried to enter into a conversation with him. At
first Brown was eool and reticent, but finding that
the internet manifested waa genuine he talked
freely. He told Dr. Gray that Oeorge Brown was
an assumed name, taken to protect hi* family from
disgrace at.d shame. Ut« family, he said, was one
of the most prominent in Oswego, N. Y. Dr. Oray
determined, if what Brown told him was true, to
make an effort to srcure hla pardon. Returning to
Atlanta he addresaed a letter to the postmaster at
Oswego and received a prompt reply, whicli corro
borated everything told him by Brown. He subse
quently received letters from an Oswego minister,
a judge of one of the courts and other promiuent
citizens, and also some letters from members of tho
family. From these tt appeared Brown’s family was
highly respectable, that he himself had been well
raised and educated, aud had left homo with a good
and reputation. This correspondence
was turned over to Dr. Raines, then physician to
tho penitentiary, since dead, to be submitted to the
Governor, with the evidence in the case, and the
petition of citlxens already of file, with a view of
getting a pardon or fuither commutation of the
sentence.
Whether the matter was so submitted to the Gov
ernor, or what disposition was made of it, Dr. Gray
never knew, and In tho press of professional duties
ho felt eomptlled to abandon the movement, and
subsequently loot sight of it.
Hlnco Drown went to the Dade mines hs has al
ways been faithful and uncomplaining. Interest
In the case was revived by his splendid conduct
during the mutiny this weak among the convicts

TnbiRArH this morning.t Ills conduct was re

How a Party of Hoys Came t« Grief on
Wednesday Night.
On Wednesday night a party of young
boys ranging from twelve to seventeen, and
all living in the western portion of the city,
started out on a lark. They meant no barm,
and were ODly taking advantage-of the love*
ly night do have some fun.
They were just of that age when it caused
them to blush a little if called men, and
> et feel offended if classed as boys. As
they marched through the streets they felt
brave enough to engage in any kind of
a fray, and there was just enough dime nov-
elism in them to arouse the goose bumps
ben they sang—
Ta one of Jesse James's gang!
Finding no stage to rob or lone passenger
to murder, they resolved that if they could
not board an express train, gag the en
gineer, place a pistol at tho mouth of the
conductor, tie the express messenger, go
through the passengers and disappear with
their booty in the darkness, they -could at
least rob a melon patch, and when one of

them said that the vines in Mrs. Seymour’s
mtch were toll of tine melon,, each toy
mailed tip and the raid waa agreed upon.
Mrs. Seymour lives just beyond Tattnall
Square, and haa a pet melon patch hack of
the house. Frequent raids upon the patch
by tramps and negroes caused Mr. Judd
Hill to give hie servant instructions to fire
into the next person caught in tho patch,
but all this wss unknown to the boya, and
it was arranged that three of them
shonld go in ano get the melons while the
others would keep wutuh in the road. The
boys went in and soon were squatting
among the vines thumping for ripe melons.
It happened that the servant was at that
particular time watching with gun in hand,
ami when Lee Wood, alwelve-yetti-ulu hoy,
raised up with a twenty-pound rattlesnake
in his arms, there was the report of a gun,
and thm a twenty-pound rattlesnake
dropped to the gronud with a dull, sicken
ing thud, and a wait of agony rent the air.
There was a break for the fence, which two
scared boys mounted in a hurry and whnh
one boy full of No. 7 shot crawled th'ough.
The man with tho gnn did not stop at
one round. He followed np the boys, and
discharged another load at the boy who fell
in the road. His companions gathered
aronnd him, and, finding him witb a chill,
caused probably by loss of blood, they
polled otf their coats and wrapped him op
as best they could, and carried him into
Mr. William Hnzlehurst's , house, where
ev.ry attention was shown him. The two
loads literally peppered young Wood in his
breast and on his arms und legs. Ho was
carried afterward to bis home, which is
with Mr. W. H. Wood, his uncle. The
wonnds are not dangerous, bnt somewhat
painful.
Bobbing a melon patch) which is annoy,
ing to the owners, has never reached the
enormity of a crime, especially when it is
done by boys. One of the few boasts of
the average Georgia c.tizen is that he stole
watermelons und robbed peach orchards in
his yontb.
Washington, July 18.—Tho oleomarga
rine hill is to be further debated in the
Senate to morrow, and its managers express
hope (which, however, is not shared with
majority of the Senate) that final action
will be reached to-morrow night.
Tho reports upon the Payno case (a priv
ileged question) are to be taken np Tues
day, and if the present intentions are ad
hered to, the dehute will be left to the Be-
publicaus almost entirely. The purpose of
the Democratic members of tho committee
on privileges and election, to rest their
case upon their report gives some ground
for the belief that the question may be
brought to a vote by or Ixffore Wednesday
night.
if the oleomargarine bill is not disposed
of to-morrow, it will be taken np again af
ter the vote is reached on tho Payne <
and carried to its conclusion.
The sundry civil appropriation bill will
probably next be taken up, and a long de
late is expected upon it.
A day will probably be taken before the
end of the week for the consideration of the
"objected cases" on the calendar of nomi
nations.
It is possible, though not probable, that
Senator Dawes will find an opportnnity
during the week to call up the unanimous
report ui the Indian committee recommend
ing the passago over tho President's veto of
the bill granting to railroads the right of
way through the Indian reservation in
Northern Montano.
FASHIONABLE RELIGION.

The Providence Journal, discussing fash
ionnble religion, says:
* One of tho latest crazes which has
seized tho English people, und which has
been imported to our country is the rage
for the Eastern theosophy, whioh, wo are
told, is destined to supplant Carislianity in
the minds of cultivated people. The stndy
of the Oriental religions has received a no r
impetus within the 1 rat decade, and men
are carried away with the new fashion in
somewhat tho same manner na they were
captivated by the icsthetic mania, which
was itself a successor of the first popular
phase of Darwinism. To this Mr. Mat
thew Arnold bss kept time and tuno witb

WHY MLN DON’T MABRY.
Because They ore too Itu.y or loo Poor to
be Bothered With a Wile.
I say it boldly and without fear of con
tradiction, there is not a mau living who is
at a'l times proof against femin ne fascina-
tions, who has not at sgpe penod in his
life’s history indulged in the hope of realiz
ing bis dreams of domestic happinesa, in
which the face ot some real or ideal woman
shone forth as the guiding star to brighten
his life. No man ever in tulgeB in dreams
of domestio happiness outside of his ideal
home. The world is his nt all times in
which to roam lit his own sweet will. His
experience teaches him that in all the
world can offer there is nothing so
sweet as the love which lives
in tho homo, gives rest to
the soul, and that peace of mind which
the world cannot give; bis innermost soul
craves for it, bo satisfying is it in its ten
derness. True love is tho very mainstay
of happiness, and no outward ruin “can
wreck the citadel whero tho immortal livea.”
Is it the fear of the failure to realize such
happiness os his that keeps these dreamers
from seeking it in marriage?

the new naval establishment, land grant

fortifications appropriation arc the subjects
that promise to engross the attention
of the House during the coming week. The
unexpected wreck of the last appropriation
bill (the fortifications hill) Saturday has
somewhat disturbed the plans of the Demo
cratic "steering committee,” and it may be
found necessary to recommit the bill to the
appropriations committee, so it may be re
placed by a measure not likely to snccumh
to tho point of order which was made with
such fatal effect in the case of the original
hill.
If this subject can be disposed of in the
session to-morrow it will be in order to movu
to suspend the rules, and pass bills upon
recommendation of committees. Attempts
will he made nnder this order to pass the
hill to increase the annual appropriation
for the snpport of tho militin, the bill con
cerning the life of patents, and possibly the
bill to increase pensions of soldiers who
have lost a limb.
The introduction of one cr more
c nenrrent resolutions fixing a
day for finnl adjournment is
expected, but whilo present indications
point to an adjournment about the 1st of
next mouth, it is tolerably certain that the
ways and means committee will not report
n rrnn’ntirm nn thnf antilmret nr.fil tko 1,
a reso'ution on that subject until the last
possible moment. Tho reason assigned is
that it the two horses agree upon a day for
adjournment, motions td am pend the rules
of the Ilonxe will ho in order nt any time
during tho last six days ot the session, and
the '"steering committeo” would thereby
lose control of the business of the House.
It is believed that final adjournment can
not be delayed after the passage of the ap
propriation hills. The positions of those
not yet sent to tho President are as follows:
Tbo foitifications hill awaits passage by the

The most inveterate club man, tho bitter
est scoffer of “love in a cottage,” are those
men who failed, either from lack of confi
dence in their own powers of persuasion or
want of means In their yontb, to win the
'one particular woman they worshiped as
their ideal. Disappointment in love is one
of the main causes of there being so many
bachelors in the world.
There is another class of men who very
cautiously estimate the expense of married
life, and come to the conclusion that they
“would be a fool to marry a girl if they
could not support her in the style in which
she had been accustomed,” and, with a wise
shake cf the head, decide to lot Wi ll enough
alone. Often, men do not marry because
they are too bnHy; they are enamored of
their work; every eff ort of their existence
tends to the successful accomplishment of
a certain purpose, and marriage does not
seem to them essential to that result.
Many men shu 1 f-male society as they
would some death-dealing plant, from the
.very consciousness of their own helpless
ness in avoiding being entrapped into seri
ous entanglements, bt Roving that whero a
woman wills it she can do anything, while
man is a feeble child of destiny who can ill
afford to war against so fair a foe. Other
men, from a worldly point of view, have
enough money to support one, bnt not
enough for two; they value their own com
fort and position too much to imperil it by
allowing any "sentimental nonsense in
love affairs” to disturb tbeir mathematical
calculations on tho subject.
There are plenty of men in the world,
and women cannot complain they do not
sec them, for the tendency of the age is
“to level alt barriers between the sexes."
Girls are allowed to indulge in all sports
that were usually considered invented for
the sole pleasnro of the lords of creation.
They row, they skate, they play lawn ten
nis; they—shall I say it—yes, they smoke;
it is considered qnite chic to indulge in the
pleasure of the wetd in the shape of a mild
cigarette. Perhaps it is these mannish ac
complishments that make men regard the
ruatrimonial state with disfavor, not par
ticularly relishing the idea of a wife being a
ma oh for them in every sense of the word,
even to the extent of her muscular develop
ment.

From the Pittsburg Times.
On Sunday morning, July 4, there arrived
at the rof idence of John Hook, on-Troy Htll,
Allegheny, and applied for boarding, Mrs.
Itieky Pheei aud Mrs. Lucy F'tuder, her
daugnter, who gave as their residence 279
winder street, Cleveland. Mrs. Pheei was
a small, nervous woman, well dressed and
about fifty-six years of age. Mrs. Finder,
her daughter, was about thirty-five years
old and quite fleshy, whose only care seem
ed to be tor her mother, whose patient face
showed the lines of suffering.
After making all arrangements f it board
ing, Mrs. Pheei announced tbat she had
eouie to bo cured by Futher Mollinger, of
the Church of the Must Huly Nemo of Je
sus, which stands opposite the residence of
Mr. Hock, When asked her ailment she
said that she was possessed of a
devil. Mr. Hook at once rose and telling
her to look on the pictures of the saints,
walked to the mantle-piece und taking the
cross in his hands advanced toward her.
bhe immediately became excited; ber runs
cles twitched, her eyes dilated, and she
screamed in terror. The moment the cross
was placed in its resting place she became
quieted, although the nervousness con
tinued.
Refute Fuiiiet Mulliuger whs sent for sue
gave a history of her case. Thenty-threo
years ago her husband, a worthy Oerman
merchant of Cleveland, became afflicted
with nervuusuess und the disease grew up
on him that his Ufe become a burden. His
organs seemed reluctant to perform their
functions; his food was not assimilated and
he wasted away. For eight yeurs he stood
the ravages of the aiitneut and then suc
cumbed hut to bequeath to his faithful
nurse, bis wife, the symptoms in an aggra
vated form.
The ailment grew upon her until it
seemed tbat a devil had entered into her
system. Her heart palp tated; her brain
seemed on fire, while the blood coursed ber
vciiis at-a freezing temperature. Now the
uncanny power seemed in tbe stomach, de
vouring the food which would not keep up
her fast fading strength; again it seemed in
the throat, strangling her while tbe air inhal
ed gave new strength to it From weighing
175 pounds she wasted to a shadow. She
was then a good Protestant, bnt after en
during the torture tor six years and finding
n a relief through her physicians, shewn*
persuaded to become a Catholic in the hope
that with tbe chaDge ot faith would come a
change of condition. Much was not the
case, however for the disease still held its
own and ran riot with htrlife.
Under this terrible strain her strong
mind became weakened and tbe lndlucina.
tion that a devil, similar to those which
in ancient times were said to have pos
sessed men’* souls, had token her for his
abiding place became strongly rooted.
Counsel, prayers and medicine failed to
relieve her. Some of the best physicians
of the omutry treated her, all for a nerv-
oils disease. Faith cure and mind enre
Wcru ulike tried by her devoted daughter,
but Mrs Ptuel wus no better, bhe win
(alien to Philadelphia, where a Father, who
was possessidof healing powers, tried toex.
orcise her tormentor, tint all was unavailing,
bhe became worse and cottlil not enter a
church, as tbe holy articles filled
her with horror. She was then taken abroad
by her daughter, and for several years was
und-r treatment by lending physicians ot
Germany and France. There also, never
despairing of ultimate aid, she appealed to
the Church and prayers for her relief as
cended from many altars. All in vain were
the trials, and with a feeling akin to doepnir
the mother and daughter turned their step*
homeward. Fifteen year* she had been
under the baneful bondage. Reason was
well-nigh dethroned and though, when u
lucid interval occurred, she talked easily
and well—for »ho was an educated woman—
she was frequently interrupted by her terri-
ble tormentor and would cry out in pain.
