| employment. The gentleman wrote Miss
I Mixon a recommendation based upon the
’ one he had received and sent her to Mrs. II.
II. Hicks, a Wealths' lady who resides in
West End. Mis. Mixoa called upon Mrs.
Hicks and presented her recommendation
and asked for work. Mrs. Hicks stated that
she at present was unable to give her
employment, but would like to. It was
about dinner time, and Mrs. Hicks asked the
girl if .he had dined. To this question she
replied in the negative. Mrs. Hicks then
accompanied the young girl to herbed-room,
and told her to prepare her toilette. A dia
mond ring, valued -it 8500, and a gold watch,
worth $2x0, were lying on her bureau. Ai
that time Mrs. Hicks was called from her
room and left the young girl alone. Miss
Mixon then took the ring and the watch and
went down stairs to dinner. The jewels
were not missed until after Mrs. Hicks had
driven the girl to the city and returned
home. Mrs. Hicks did not know who to sus
pect, but notified the police authorities at
once. Miss Mixon returned to Barnwell the
next day, where she remained until this
morning, When she arrived iu Augnsta.
This afternoon she called at Feary’s jew
elry store aud tried to pawn the ring
for fifty dollars. Mr. Cnrtis, the
head clerk, declined the ofl’er and
suspected something was wrong and fol
lowed the young girl. Mr. Curtis notified
Mr. Nuremburger, a police commissioner,
who notified Sergeant Power., who informed
Lieutenants Hood und Desmond, and they
followed the young girl.
Lieutenant Hood, ujnm hearing the cir
cumstances, went after Mrs. Hicks, who at
once came down to the city in her baggy
nud when her attention was called to Miss
Mixon, she at once identified the girl uul
invited her to her buggy. The invitation
was accepted and she waa hardly seated be
fore Lieutenant Hood asked her for the
ring she had tried to pawn. She at first
denied having the valuables, but when in
formed that it would cauae her .erioils
trouble if she did not surrender it, she
opened her pocket book and gave the ring
up. She was then asked for the watch,
but alio denied having it,
and when told again it would
cauie her serious trouble, the pulled the
watch from her breast and turned it over
to the officer. Hood then asked Mrs. Hicks
to drive the girl to the court house, which
•he did. Miss Mixon was then committed
to jail to await investigation. Miss Mixon is
•aid to have been a waif left at the door of
a respectable Barnwell family, who adonted
her and gave her a good education, she hav

I will sign nothing that is contrary to the

importance. One ot the physicians attending

“Considering the gravity of the Emperor’s
malady, his condition. is as good as could be

moment. Nevertheless, apart from ucci-
deuts, new developments arc not expected
for months. The strong constitution of the
Emperor may carry him even over this, but
it is usele.s to deceive ourselves and hope
too much,”
The Emperor was much encouraged yes
terday by reading a report of the case of a
Hungarian schoolmaster who submitted to
tracheotomy in leei and is still in fair
health. Asa further aion that tlia
PRESENT DANGER 18 PAST,

the Grand Duchess of Baden talks of leaving
CliailyUcii'suig uftci her drive to Berlin

Queen Victoria was so pleased with the
hearty reception accorded her by the people
that she immediately telegraphed to Lord
Salisbury a detailed account of the warm
welcome she had received. She was all the
more pleated because it had been suggested
to her not to come to Berlin, as it was feared
die Wiildd lie eiK-'lly received by the people.
Nothing, however, could induce her to lore-
go her visit to the Emperor’s sick bed.
The correspondent of the Munich Alge-
meine Zcituug says, with reference to the
attacks upon the' Queen and Empress in
Altace Loraine!' “We can almost lay our
hands on the mischief tbit wild noise has
done, and we therefore regard it with double
pain and indignation.”
ANOTUKU DIFFERENCE WITH BISMARCK.
The council of ministers meets daily, Count
Herbert Bismarck assisting in the delibera.
tions. The recent chancellor crisis arising
from the proposed marriage of Princess Vic
toria and Prince Alexander of Battenberg,
was aggravated by the Emperor insisting
that the decisions of the conncil, which for
merly were submitted to Emperor William
in Bismarck’s name, should now be sub
mitted In a manner showing by wlmt major
ity, giving the names of councillors, they
have been arrived at. Bismarck at first held
out for solidarity, but eventually he acceded
to the Emperors wish. Another source of
trouble was the appearance of a joint memo
rial by the Kingdoms of Bavaria, Saxony,
Wurtemlicrg amt BiJen, setting forth that,
owing to the delicate slate of the Emperor’s
health and the experience of the crown, it Is
advisable that the supreme power of declar
ing war nnd concluding pence should he
vested vith the llcichstag instead of remain
ing with the Emperor. No reply has as yet
been scut to :hi* memorial.

in progress in ltrookman’s Hall, situated in
the second Mory of a brick building. The

SLAV US TO HE FREED.
Proposition of the New Ministry of the
Ilrazlllnn Empire.
A Rio Janeiro letter to the New York
Herald says: Thu new ministry have al
ready made public through a semi-official
organ, that the principal and more imme
diate objects in their programme will be
the abolition of slavery this year and
measures for the improvement of the
finances and currency ol the country.
, These declarations have given almost un-
mixed satisfaction, and the Liberal leaders
have hastened to a.v-uro the government of
their support in regard to both objects.
The wholesale emancipatory movement
which was initiated last December in the
province of Ban Paulo ltns already pro
duced the freedom of 70,000 of it*-i08,000
slaves. At last the province of Rio
Janerio is affected, and the liberation
movement bus been commenced in the
municipalities of San Kiodris, Campos and
Macabc. In Fledeis, chiefly devoted to
coffee raising, 2,000 slaves, 400 belonging
to one family, were liberated by their
owners at the end of last week. In Cam-
jma, a great sugar producing country of
tlio province, 3,000 slaves were set’frce
within ten days. In Ma lie 3,000 have al
ready been emancipated, the Araruama
family, owners of great plantations and of

THE NATIONALISTS TO FIOUT IT OCT.
The Nationalists have determined to con
tinue the plan of campaign in spite of the
Papal decree. It is asserted that the move-
■ men t will not sutler much from the necessary
defection of the prieBts, who will undoubt
edly coutinue to svmpathizc with the peo
ple, and that vacancies can easily be filled
with laymen. The matter has caused an ex
tremely bitter feeling among the National
ists,who indignantly resent the government’s
intrigues with the Vatican. Conaorvativea
nnd Orangemen fear that in return for the
Pope’s action the government will make
concessions in connection with the educa
tion 1 question, which coitces-ions they are
prepnred to strenuously oppose.
Dillon, iu u speech at llerbcrtstown this
evening, pointed out the justice of the plan
of campaign, the results of which, he said,
fully justified the wisdom of the league in
recommending it. The whole ground for the
Nationalist policy was the fact that an Irish
tenant should not mcke a contract with his
landlord, amt that freedom of contract.itid
not exist, lie denied emphatically that the
plan of campaign obtained by fores and in
timidation. He bad never found a single
ease of either lorce or intimidation and lie
hnd never seen money more freely given,
lie did not doubt that some cases ot it iruship
ami sm-ritiee exi-teii, but hundreds und then-
sands or ianmies had been kept in their
houses. He did not think much of a man
who was not prepared to make tome sacrifice
j for the good and holy cause, a eause which
would triumph in the cud in spite of all that
its enemies might say or do.
FItESS COMMENTS.
The Daily News says that premature im
portance should ilOt be attached iu the
statement that the Pope has never con
demned the plan of campaign, adding
“Even if the statement is correct, it is well
to remember that Ireland has never accepted
Rome’s influence in politics."
The Post thinks that the Pope’s action is
by far the most formidable blow yet struck
at the Nationalists.
The Standard says: That the Papal decree
will do good cannot be doubted, but that it
wiil extirpate all evil can scarcely be hoped.
A dispatch from Rome to the Times says:
The l’apal letter has already been sent to the
Irish bishops and wiii be published about
ten days nence. The versions hitherto
printed are more or less conjectural. The
Pope forbids Catholics to adopt the phut of
campaign or to engage in boycotting and en
joins obedience to the laws. Other ques
tions are in abeyance.
worth attcl of Goethe in poetry, and of
Saime-Ueuve in criticism, lie presented a
combination ot the two forms of literary
power only stirpas ed by Coleridge in
modern 1 literature. He may be said to
have taught the English reviewers tho
true Hues of their work, and showed them
how to sulistitute an appreciative and
sympathetic estimate of a whole work of
literary art, and of its place in the his
torical development of thought, for tho
haphazard sort of comment and self-dia-
play which wns the staple of current criti
cism. Less potent in its influence, and
less wortliy of equal inflttenc", is his sub
tle, exquisite, hut melancholy verse, in
which, as Hnzlitt said of another poet,
there are found “the sweetness, the gravi
ty, the strength, the beauty, the languor
of death; calm contemplation and majestic
pains.” His poetry is a critic's {amity,
without that abandon to the divine alllanta
which characterizes the highest verse.
And thro gh it nil runs the samo under
tone of weariness and sorrow with a world
whose ideals surpass its possibilities, and
the highest natures are doomed to snfier
the most from its discords.

An Old Man Dies Alone in n House nt the
Park.
Yesterday morning when some of the
workmen went to the park to get in, they
found the gate locked, and could not
arouse Mr. William Ilysler, who wns
known to sleep in the office on the right
hand side of the gate. Mr. llnrve Fen
nell, the park keeper, waa notified, and
failing to get Mr. ilysier to answer them,
broke in the door, nnd there found the ola
man dead in his bed.
Coroner Hodnett was at once notified,
and he empaneled the following jury: J.
E. Ellis, Alike Kelly, Dennis Keating, T.
J. Dame, C. A. Ells, Louis Vannucki, P.
Mnnhy, H. C. Fennell, Wilbur Cherry,
W. U Goodman, Allen Jones and G. W.
Banders.
On the inves’.igxticn Dr. W. C. Gibson
gave it as his opinion that tho deceased
died from congestion, and the verdict of
the jury was that he- died from natural
causes.
Mu Hysler waa about 55 years old and
was employed by Mr. Fennell at the park.
He was a brother-in-law of Officer Brooks,
and leaves a wife and children. He worked
at the park all day Friday and had not
complained of being sick. A casket was
furnished by Undertaker Keating and the
body take to the residence on Oglethorpe
street.

When the war began her father owned

which they were never meant. As unable
to understand or sympathize witii the mnin
currents that draw the van as if be bad
been a recluse in a hermitage, he spent
his years in deploring the great moveuieut
of his time, and p aying “tlio clegnnt nnd
spurious Jeremiah” to a deaf generation.
His critical, unsympathetic attitude pre
vented his ever becoming a social or polit
ical influence. His very power, felieitiuua
expression became a hurt to his own as
pirations for influence, because it tempted
him to epigrammatic sarcasms, which were
received us unpardonable insults. A mid
dle class Englishman, and really concerned
for the diffusion of “lucidity,” in that class
above all others, be earneil its hatred to
an extent which is intelligible after a
persual of his “Friendship's Garland,"—
the most olfensive of all bis books,—■
which is saying a great deal.
Nor was lie great as an educator. An
admirable inspector of schools, he is said
to have been, free from the officialism and
pedantry which generally attach to thnl
office. But his chief efforts toward educa

miration of bis countrymen the really ob
jectionable and inferior ideaa of reboot
and university life which prevail on the
continent.
On the whole, his critical work repre
sents him at the best, and not below the
best modern literature. Had lie given to
a great history ol English literature tho
powers he spent on less congenial fields we
should have been vastly more obliged to
his life than we are.

The President has so far relented from
his original determination os to buy for
hia wife a pretty phaeton, with a seat be
hind for the doom, and a pair of
t own horses fdr her exclusive use, and
ereby hangs a tale. A man in Rich
mond wrote a pathetic letter to the Presi
dent not long since, which, by some inad
vertence on the part of the wise “private
secretary," fell into his own hands. In it
the man went on to say that lie had mar-
rlwl • -rail
months licfore, and had bought for her,
with many fond anticipations, a pair
of horses, for which he had searched the
South over, and she drove them for a
few short weeks, and then, on returning
from a drive one afternoon, died suddenly
in his arms from heart disease. He could
not bear to tee these reminders of a happy-
past any more, ana Mrs. Cleveland was tlia
only woman into whose hands he was shill
ing to bave them fall. He conc)udctI by
saying that he was too poor to give them
to her, but he wanted her to bave th' se
