A new lease of life baa been granted to
Henry Wblitleld, the negro nnder sentence
to be bong on Friday for attempting to
burn the residence of Mr. F. A. Kxley, on
Margaret atreet, early in January. A bill
ot exceptions to Judge Adams r e decision
refusing to grant a new trial was tiled in
the Superior Court yesterday bv the p»h-
oner's counsel, Wooten A Collier. The
counsel cited the action of the court in re
fusing to grant the prisoner a new trial
both upon the motion and the amended
motion as error. Judge Adams signed the
bill and at once ordered a inperaedeas stay
ing the execution of sentence until the fur
ther order of the court. Daring the hear
ing he remarked to the counsel that in
view of the newly discovered evidence
going to show the weakness oUhe prisoner,
he thought tbc case one wbicn deserved
the interposition of the executive rather
than judicial authority.—Atrannah AVir*.

the Piney Woo ls gave an entertainment,
musical and dramatic, at the hotel last
night for the benefit of the Thomasville Li

An Abnormal Ch. st.
B'.nNtsviLLg, March 25.—Yesterday
evening while Mr. Tom Cochrane, of the
firm of T. W. Cochrane it Co., was talking
to some ladies In front of his s’ore, a negro
boy came in tbe back door and began slip
pirg mysteriously along the counter to
where somo dress gooes were idled up.
Mr. Cochran turned suddenly and saw the
negro in the s’ore, and immediately sus
pected something. As soon as the negro
saw that he was noticed he walked up to
Mr. Cochrane and pulled oil* his hat,speak
ing very politely and expressing himseif n
solicitous in regard to Mr. Cochrane’*,
health, alio casually observing that the
weather was somewhat cool Of course,
this was all very nice, but Mr. O. noticed
that the colored gent had an extra
ordinary drvelopment of chest and
naturally feeling somewhat curious on tbe
subject, he pnt his band under the negro's
veat, when he found about three yards of
tnnslin packed away behind his shirt
front. Mr. Cochrane might have supposed
that he was wearing this to protect h s
lungs against the cold weather had hen n
observed that it was the same stripe as his
bolt. Mr. Cochrane gare him the choice
of the chain-gang or a whipping. Uf came
he decided in favor of tbe whipping, and
then came the ash barrel and strap act.
HOW EL MAHDI LOOKS.
A Pen Picture of the Faiae Prophet Who
Grew Rich on the Spoils of Office.
Dr. Colt in the Catholic World.
Imagine a man s bout 40 years of age, of
medium height, as lean-as the saying la
—anhotten herring, with n mahogany
complexion, ecu' black beard and eyes,
and three vertical slashes on bis pallii
cheeks; add to this a long cotton shirt as a
garment, a narrow turban as a headdress,
a pair of wooden sandals, aud in the hands
—dry as those of a mummy—a airing of
ninety beads, corresp'nding to an equal
number of divine attributes, and yon have
the Mabdi.
His father was a carpenter on Naft Is
land, iu the Nubian Province of Dongola,
and about 1852 came with his four chil
dren, to Chindi, a small city on the banks
of the Nile, 8outh of Brrber. It seems
that the future prophet wut not without
his failings, for one day his uncle thougat
well of flogging him in a regular French
style. Tbc proceeding was not appreciated,
and the child ran away until he Arrived
at Khartoum, where he entered a r.mt of
school or convent of begging dervishes.
There h*s life was a remarkable one for
piety. As to education, be was even
taught how to wrbeor even how to read.
He became in 1870 tbe favorite disciple of
an eminent fakir, Boeick Nor-el-Dsim,
aud finallv was ordained by hiui and went
to Abbas Island, White Nile.
His fame as a saintly man was every
year on tbe increase. He lived In a kind
uf pit or subterranean repository for grain,
cilUd silo, which he had dag up with hi<
own hands, and there he passed bis life,
fasting and praying, burning incense
day and night, aud repeating tbe
name of Allah for hours at a time, until he
would fall to the ground panting and ex
hausted. He bad made a vow to absorb
himself in the contemplation of divine per
fections and to weep ail hta life for the sins
of mankind. But his tears did not destroy
his power of virion, at.d he kept his best
eye wide open to business, and the faithful
coming by thousands and depositing rich
offerings at the month of his silo, he
never failed to see the gift* nor to stiw
them away carefully for stormy days, in
1878 be had become so wealthy that he
felt the necessity to declare that Allah had
ordered him to leave bis silo and take
unto himself a large collection of wives,
whom, as a truly practical man, he chose
among the meat influential families of the
country, especially that of the Bsgaras,
tbe most opueut slave-traders ou the
While Nile.
Every one has still fresh in bis memory
the appalling extermination of Hicks
Pasha’s 11,000 men, surrounded the 5th of
November, 1883— the first day of the four
teenth century of the Hegira- -at Ksshgil,
whilo marching on El Ohetd.
This horrible butch»ry, happening on the
threshold cf the century aurounced a?
the one of tbe last prophet, gave a bloody
consecration to Mohammed-Ahmed, who.
after tbe three days’ battle, weut over fell
tbe battle-field, piercing with his spear
the ghastly corpses ot bis enemies, and
exclaiming: “It is 1.1, the prophet, who
destroyed the heretics!” Compared to
him, Mohammed was no more in his
mind, than a small prophet. He alone was
tbe only great and powerful Messiah an
nounced by Mohammed himself. The
Sultan of Constantinople was no more the
supreme Caliph, the Cble! of hUinlem; it
was he, Moh«mmed-Ahm*d, and he or
dered nis own name to be invoked in pub
lic worship in tbe pla^e of Mohammed’s,
right after the name of Allah.

Nbw Yoex, March 25.—Tbe Post’s cotton
article says: The free offerings of future de
liveries caused a decline ol 12 points on March
and 9 points on the^ other leading months.
Part of the loss was'recovered and tho third
call displays a reduction of 9 to 6 points from
yesterday’s closing quotations. Only 100 bales
for August were bought at the third call at
11.61. Fear of war seems to be tho msin cause
for the decline, though it U not to bo over
looked that our prices are too high for export
and that our mills show no inclination to buy.
Futures closed dull: April to August 5 to 6

• hooting Affair In Columbus.
Tuesday about noon a pistol shot was
heard in the direction of the market, and
soon quite a crowd had gathered to ascer
tain what tbe shot meant. Upon Investi
gation it proved to have been in the Mar
ket Exchange bar, and fired by Mr \V. I •
O’Brien, one c f the butchers,at Mr. Fayette
Thomas, a clerk in the saloon. Tbe exact
origin o* the difficulty could not be arrived
at, bat it seems that a few words were
passed between Mr. O'Brien and Mr.
Thomas, when O’Brien drew his pistol,
and as he did ao, Thomas picked up a
chair and struck O’Brien, knocking him
through a partition wall in the rear room
of the saloon, and as he went through
O’Brien fired a shot at Thomas, and after
he recovered himself he fired
again, neither of tho balls striking Mr.
Thomas, bnt lodging in the wall beyond.
It was supposed at nrst that Mr. Thomas
was hart and Dr. Terry was called In, bat
upon examination it was found that he
had not been touched. In the excitement
Mr. O’Brien walked away and his where
abouts ia not known. Later Mr. Toomas
swore out warrants before Justice Hargett,

ATTACKED BY WEASELS.
A Former Forced to Run Away From tho
FI.roo Little Animal..
Deloa Lante, an Elk County, Pa., farmer

weaslea in fais poultry yard and bonsea.
Oa Saturday laat Mr. Lante was walking
through a atony field on bis farm and aaw
a wearel run into a big beap ot atones piled
idjsely in the middle of tbe field. He bad
a walking stick, and going to tbe atone pile
began to throw down atonea to gat at tbe
weaiel or scare it out. Presently a wea
sel jumped cut, and be attack at it witb
bis cane. It did not yon away, bnt sprang
at Lanto's throat—tb. .pot a weaiel la*
aiinctlyely tri.afoa.Iae, Th. farmer itrock
at It again aud hltlt, hat It returned game
ly Io tbe attack, aod whether io anawer to
a signal or not the farmer doea not know,
weasel, began to awarm out of the atone
pile on all aides, and In a second were
springing upon Lante, climbing nimbly up
bis clothes, trying to reach bis fane.
They bit him witb their sharp teeth, aud
finding that be would be unable to
kaep the aavage little blood sucker,
from faa'coing tbelr teeth In bia neck with
out help, be ebook them ot! aa beat he
could and started at tbe top ol hie speed
for borne. Tbe weaeels followed hint un
til be ecaled the fence. Hia bands wore
bleeding from a dozen woondt, and it be

killed him. In tbe afternoon Mr. Lame
returned to the atone pile with two men,
two guns and a dug. Thai routed out the
weasels and killed thirty—a colony which
had been devastating tbe entire neighbor
hood for a year or more.
Imnoelna on the Poor.
Mew York Sun.
“It all comet o’ bein’ poor," tald an old
lady, IreinuliuM »!& fEdfgnsMnn; "I list
stopped In a minait at tbe Hlobea to tell
'em ae bow yon wasn’t gittln' any belter,
and Mrs. Rich red aha wai lorry, and
wanted me to bring von a bottla of wine."
"Did yon bring it!" asked the alck man
eagerly. “No; I beard her aay It bad
been layin’down in the cellar ever since
18S5, an' when aha offered it to me 1 jilt
walked off wltboat asyin' a word."
Ha Wae Nowhere.
New York Tlmca.
A Washington hotel keeper was bustling
ot tbe amount of money ha bad made dor.
tog inauguration week.
“What do yon think of that!” he laid,
turning to a a tranter.
The stranger lifted hta ahculderi, bnt
made no reply.
"Don’t you think that’, doing pretty
weUT" persisted the hotel man.
“My wife’, a ruinin' a boardin' houte
in New Orleans," laid the atranger lenien
tly, and then the Waibington man
was illent.
Castor Oil.
One of tho chief uses to which cas
tor oil is now put is that of dressing
and aoftening leather for boots. It waa
formerly used for dosing children
whose stomachs were disordered.
And an awful dose it was. Now we
tive suffering children Brown’s Iron
Jitters, which tones tho stomach, reg
ulates digestion, and imparts strength
to the whole body. Brown’s Iron Bit
ters is incomparably better than castor
oil, and more pleasant to take.
