ROBBING POOR GOVERNESSES. A mean Style of .stealing that Proved Ver y SaccessfiKf. Bostos, Mass., May 29.—Ills. Emma Seiver, an honest and respecta ble young orphan girl, lived in Pine place. She had tried bard to get a sit uation as governess for many weeks before she saw; on April 16, this ad vertisement: 1X7 ANTED—LADY COMPANION TO TV travel with child: state age and where can be seen. Address H- 99. She answered it, and in a few days a man called upon her who told her that he was Charles Lenhart, or Rochester, N. Y., and that be was stopping-at the Adams House. He said he wanted to □ire a governess lor his child. He represented that be traveled a good deal during the summer season, and w hoever he hired would go with him in care of the child, live in the best style and get large pay. The more be talked about the situation the more anxious Miss Seiver was to obtain it; but before be would engage any one, he said, they must show good refer ences. She took from her trunk several letters of recommendatirin and banded them to him. He appeared to read them very carefully, and on fiulshii he said they were satisfactory ai hired hei. He then told Mies Seiver that he had a trunk at the Adams House, and as she also had one he said he would send the porter to take charge of the trunks, so that they would reach the Old Colony depot together. They left Boston May 19, by the Fall River line. On reaching New York he toH Miss Seiver thatlie had a business engage ment in Brooklyn, aud borrowed her gold watch so that he might be able to tell the time. She waited in New York several days for Mr. Lenhart to return, which he tailed to do. She theu went to the depot to inquire about her. trunk, which contained jewelry, music and clothing to the value of $500, and was surprised to find tha£it had been' taken away by a man answering Lenhart's description. She immediately returned to Boston and reported her case to Deputy Su perintendent Burrill, who placed the the matter in the hands, of the inspec tors. Leniiart is about 45 years old, looks like a Jew and speaks German. Complaints have been made of several similar cases against Lenhart. 4^- t Dr: Felton, the Atlanta Constitution says: “Georgia has had enough of imlepemlentism.” Yet not long since the Constitution In order to get.up a stijMig argument for “pri- rigbV ainF ^jas the pe6j>les’s friend.

News and Advertiser: Donald Clarke, of New York, was kdown- as the “Mad Poet,” but there was at, times a lucid method in his madness that was almost startling.

Deadwood, May 17.—At the Drum last night some of the pioneers of the Black Hills were talking about the old timers, when one of them id: “Rut nobody ever found out what be came of Jim Foster.” “No, nobody ever beard from him,” said half a dozen at once, and then the crowd became reflective, as if wonder ing what bad happened to Jim. After a few minutes’ silence, one man said that Jim Foster was a good fellow, but that he ought to have been hanged all the same, and others observed that be would have been hanged if he bad been caught at a certain period in bis Undertaking in Handle an Irlals Witness* Judge Lawrence’s manner in court Is dogmatic, pragmatic aud arrogant, and nothing pleases the bar so well as to see him laughed at.

Maybe yer honor’s heard of him?” “Certainly,” said the judge; “go on with the inventory*” “Then there was a picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Maybe yer honor’s heard of him?” The un affected look of inquiry and doubt that accompanied the witness’ words set the audience in a roar of laughter, the judge will never hear the last of it.

While he Avasin his bath w telegram came over. His wife opened it. It read: ‘The house is on fire.” 3he. rushed tortile door and called him in wild excitement. From the interior came amid splashing and dash ing: “What’s the matter?” “The house is on fire!” ^“Jerusalem t” There was h wilder spl At this juncture a stranger, who had heard all that had been said, asked what there was about Foster. “Ob, nothing much,” was the reply of the first speaker. “Jim was one of the boys who was first in here, that’s all, and be went away rattier sadden. He never was cutont for a pioneer, he wan’t. He was bora fora tenderfoot. He’d no more’n got into the hills before he began to figure on the best way of getting out. A more-homesick chap you never saw. He didn’t seem to get along very well, either. He was out of money, though nobody knew it at first, and he found that he had made a great mistake in coming here. One fine morning Jim turned up missing, and with him went a horse that belonged to a man who believed in having some body hung for every horse that was stolen from him. That was the worst break of Jim’s life. He had to skip, and be had to steal a horse, but he didu’t have to steal one of old Ben nett’s horses. Well, they went after him hot, but be got away and wasn’t Fieard from. We’ve often talked about iim, because there wasn’t so many of us then that we’d be likely to forget anybody, and he was a good chap, take him all fa all.” “The funniest thing about the whole business, though,” said another, “was the fact that for two or three years everything that went wrong in the camp was charged up to Jim. If there was stealing which nobody could ac count for it was laid to him,-and there was a time when if ho had shown up here he would have pulled hemp sure. He’s the first man that ever got away from old Bennett, I think. I’ve known Bennett to follow fellows more than a thousand miles, aud it never made any differtneeto him whether they were generally square men or not. He’d et a mau starve, and theu if he stole a ration he’d hang him. His heart was harder than quartz.” Well now,” said the stranger, “I happen to know something about this case. Foster stole that horse because he had to get out of the country or die. He cut across the country for Pierre and rode day and night until he got there—a trip that was not a prom enade in those days. When he got there he sold the horse fora small sum, aud by beating and working he man aged in about six weeks to get to his home in Michigan. His father was well off, and as he died soon after, he left Jim a good business, which he at tended to right np to the handle. No body there knew anything about his horse stealing in the hills, and he soon became a man of considerable promi nence. He married one of the prettiest girls in the town, built himself a uew louse, aud was living in fine style, when an old man who said he was from Black Hills arrived there with an officer and notified the City Marshal that he wanted Jim for horse stealing. He had been on hi* trail for more than two years, and had found him at last. The Marshal was a friend of Jim’s and a level-headed fellow, and at his earn est suggestion Benuett agreed to keep the object of his visit quiet until he had seen Jim at his home. That night tlie Marshal and Bennett called on Jim, and the whole thing was talked over. The old*man at first refused all offers of a compromise, but after he had seen Jim’s wife he wilted, and said he would call the thing square and leave it where it was. Jim mauaged to get a htinilred-dollar bill into the old man’s hand just as he was leaving, but it was only by waiting until the train was pulling out that he did so. Now, that shows that he stole the right horse, doesn’t it?” All shook their heads, and one after another said that conld not have been old Bennett. It was some other Ben net. “Perhaps I’m some other Jim Fos ter, then,” observed the stranger, as he removed his hat, and looked the crowd steadily in the eyes. “I’m the man who stole the horse.” The old timers were speechless for a minute or two* and then they got around Jim and told him that they had suspected him all tfie time, though, to tell the truth, there was no resem blance between *the well-dressed Fos ter of to*day and the desperate Foster of ten years ago.” . “Old Bennett’s been dead, more’n a year,” some one said., “He lost every thing that he had, and died without a friend.” “He had one friend,” said Jim Fos ter, “and he is here now to mark his grave.” A Bog- That Play* Bub Ball.' 8t.

WHAT SHE DID WHILE ALEEP. Hamburg, N. J., May 29.—A pecu liar case of somnambulism has just been discovered in the family of Alonzo Osgood. For several weeks the doors and windows of Mr. Osgood’s house would be found wide open in the morning, and lamps, dishes and arti cles of furniture strewn on the lawn. Miss Osgood, the youngest of Mr. Os good’s daughters and a beautiful girl of 30 years, was finally discovered to be tbe unconscious author of the mis chief. Last night Hr. Osgood beard some body opening and shotting the parlor windows. He armed himself and stole silently down-stairs. In the centre of tbe room, lifting a large chair high above her head, stood Miss Effie. In his surprise he shouted to her, and the next instant down came the chair on the floor, and his daughter fell as if lifeless. She was clad in night robes and was sound asleep. As she fell her which had been wide open, peared to be dead. After several minutes Mr. .Osgood succeeded in arousing her from her stupor. After expressing surprise to find herself out of bed she went into a violent fit of hy sterics. Tlie dscovery has created great ex citement in the neighborhood, and it is thought that Miss Effie is the person who has been ringing door-bells aud scaring late pedestrians. Dr. Vau Allen has been consulted and expressed his astonishment at the statements made. During several of her spells she moved articles of fur niture that two strong men could not' lift, aud must have traveled miles iu the cold night air without aw akening. A HORRIBLE DEATH.

A “Land of Milk and Honey”—A Farm on the Coosa—A Passing Notice of ***** ’ 1,1 Rome, Ga., June 3, Editor News and Advertiser: ' To a visitor from South Georgia, Floyd county looks literally like “a land flowing with milk and honey, 1 and there is no bitter weed up in this section to make them like dead sea fruit, appetizing in appearance, turn ing to worse than ashes, to gall 'and wormwood, to the taste. I have been rusticating for a few days, gaining strength, after a recant illness, at Oak land, tbe country home of Col. A. B. Montgomery, four miles from Rome. How delightful everything seems, bow refreshing to a tired iuvalid alter a fa tiguing railway journey to sit on the broad piazza of the cozy residence and drink in the surroundings! In front the immense oaks throw' their cool and grateful shade over the house, the lawns and flowers. Beyond, the meadows, green and luxuriant, stretch np the hillside. Back of the house a cool and refreshing spring bubbles up and flows on through the dairy, while another has been built over and con verted into a bath house. A brook, fed by mountain springs, flows through the grounds, aud is utilized in various ways. All around are fertile fields of clover, grain and cotton. A bale per acre of the latter crop is not considered anything extra up this wav. Ou the south, beyond tbe fields, a fringe of foliage shows where the Coosa river winds on towards Rome. At the north Mount Alto rises in solemn grandeur, and seems to look down in a protecting manner over the fertile farms which cluster in the smiling valley at its base. Upon the very summit of this moun tain the hermet-like Berckman, father of tlie celebrated nurseryman, built cottage, surrounded by stone walls, and here “f&r from tlie madding crowd,” he passed the autumn of his days, living quite the life of a patri arch, cultivating his vines and lruit trees, and even adding the refining beauty of choice flowers, uutil he had made the stony, nigged mountain to$> ... . bloom and blossom as the rose.

Bat the short stop was too nimble for the dog, and just before he reached thebase the ball arrived there, and' he canie slowly back? his tail hangidg lew, arid a very mournful expression in his great eyes. “Maje’s out—side out!”icri3d the boys, and immediately conceiving n • ° — ' leve nis method by which he conld retrieve d to r field disaster, the d<w seemed to regain his ljhf ..... fielder dashed before any of*I their places. In the preliminary that pret e led the piay, ' left out, and I saw tbe balls that were thrown at him directly, were quite as swift as those which were ddivered from base to base; and in justice to him, I never saw him “muff.” When a bail was thrown at him he settled back and dropped his great lower jaw, into which the projectile seemed to fit; then, with tail waggin hasten to carry .- the''bell to the player. He was equally J with low balls, either catching them in his mouth or stopping them with his broad chest, and in fielding he could not be outdone. When he it a ball be carried it at full speed to tbe nearest thrower, aud not a few to pick blackberries. About sun down, just as the party was ready to return home, Miss Martin cried out that she was bitten by a snake. Her sister ran to her, and pulling off the shoe and stocking of the wounded limb, saw only slight scratch .as if made by a pin. She at once applied her mouth to the bite and tried to suck out the poison; but the limb begau swelling at a rapid rate. She stopped sucking aud takiug her handkerchief tied it around the leg just below the knee. In the meantime the young lady had gone to the house for assistance. In about an hour she was taken to the house where everything that was pos sible" was done to relieve her. The swelling continued until her eutire body was swollen all out of proportion, and in five hours after the snake had fastened its fangs in her flesh she was a corpse. Her death was a horrible one, and yet she was conscious up to the last moment. Her writhiugs were terrible to behold. The Oberry home is thirty-five miles from the railroad, and iu order that she might buried at her old home, the joily was taken at once* to-"Lumber City and brought to Macon on the traiu reaching here at uoou. It was then transferred by Messrs. Wood Boud, the undertakers, to the union depot, and went down to Fort Valley last uight in charge of her sister and two gentleman friends. Miss Martin was about 16 years old, aud was a daughter of Mr. A. J. Mar tin, of Fort Valley. She was a most worthy young lady, and her terrible death will be a sad blow to her lather. Captured by a.

Let me give a passing notice, how ever of the city of Rome. The recent freshets have left it in an unprepos sessing condition. Two new bridges, atra cost*of $40,000, are to be placed by the county over the Etowah river, lead ing into, East and {South Rome, two •flourishing suburbs of the.city. -The bridges to which we refer were washed away during the floods. An election takes place at Rome to day to decide' whether the cobnty shall levy a tax for the entire amount this year or issue bonds payable by yearly assessments. Much interest is mani fested upon the subject. A barbecue is being held, and voters are being brought into the city free by railway and steamboat. And now, while upon the subject of bridges, let me narrate a carious fact. Upon my former visit to this place it was impossible to leave the city except in one direction without paying toll. South and east toll bridges stretched across the Etowah, while west the Oos- tanoola was spanned byacother. - The receipts of cotton for the season just closed, notwithstanding the toll bridge, had reached the enormous aggregate of 110,000 bales. Shortly after all the bridges were purchased by the county and made free, and since then ' the cot ton receipts have been but little over that amount, while the extreme of trade iq the city shows that gte are 'not a panacea for bus iness depression.

Thomas, belonging on the irawsbuiy estate, near Charlestown, W. Ya., got tired of living in bondage and left toe old plantation with a boat load of watermelons belonging to his master. Among those who mourned his leave was a dusky wife and two son3, Albert M. and Aaron Thomas. Nobody ever heard what became of tbe watermelons, hut after a long and perilous pilgrimage the refugee him self arrived iu Buffalo. As cook and caterer he became well off, and mar ried a second wife. Years after Albert Ttibmas, whom his father had left be hind as a child, ran away from slavery, reached Canada by the underground railway, and after many adventures brought up in Buffalo. After a few years in business here he went to Raleigh, Tenn., ran a hotel, and took a third wife. While there his father left Buffalo for California and died there. His widow by his second mar riage subsequently sold the property in this city to various parties and three years ago, when Albert learned that she, too, wa& dead, he left his.hotel at Raleigh and came on here to claim tbe estate. Thousands of dollars have al ready been spent in the case, and the contest is*nowhere near the end as yet. A son Of the plaintiff is a graduate of Yale, and is a bright young colored lawyer of this city. Tbe Stake that’s Up. The following is an extract frt>m Dr. Felton’s Montezuma speech, delivered June 2d : Georgians. I warn yon that the great stake for which tlie Gubernatorial-dice are now being thrown iu Georgia is the Western & Atlantic railroad. 1 warn you I pray you put uo man in charge over that road or in charge of your interest whose interests, whose hopes aud ~'Whose“ finances are to be^ swelled by the triumphs of railroad syndicates. Put no m!in on guard in charge Of your State affairs whose interests are in the ene my’s camp—that is the point. General Gordon is running all over the State saying: “I ama9oidier. I am going into the Gubernatorial chair ou my war record like a cyclone. Just look at me.” [Langhter]. He remiuds me of one of Bill Arp’» stories, said to have been told by ray friend Nat Harris, when he was a com petitor of Howell Cobb, years ago, in the Sixth Congressional District. Long before the war it is said that General Cobb was fresh from Wash ington then, high in position and na tional reputation. Colonel Nat Harris was quite a young man, though bril liant. They were having a wonderful contest for Congress. Mr. Cobb spoke authoritatively. He spoke like one having authority, excatbcdra. His manner seemed to say: Fellow-citizens, jultttooktt vniirjut Hook-at‘that little stripling there, Nat Harris, and thed cast your votes. Colonel Harris, in reply to him said: My'countrymen, he reminds the little boy whose father ing sent him to the instruction to ,buy beef there and bring itto him. little lellow went over anxious \ form his misrion, ancLfwhen-'be^got there be found tbat every piece of Treef was taken except the pauuch* great" big unclean'thing; The fellow bought it. He invested his dimeatbttbe. He took the old; ugly, - streaming all ovei and came 'near sm Jtheriug~~ttie fellow, and stapdiug there,, in jhn pres ence of all, he* eried-out : “Good-Lord, pa, just look at me.” [Lqughter.j . Now, my friends, General Gordon, and I speak It with great respfect, with his friends, as he runTTJver the "Stale' of Georgia talking-about war,record, reminds me of nothing ubdeYthe sun more than the littfcboy as RjffelCi£firi- ed: “Good Lord' jpa, at me.” [Laughter.] J. R. K.’s Corrcspoudenca. From Ja9-. R. Randall’s r lakt Wash- ton letter to tiie Augusta Chronicie, we take the following": Mrs. Pendleton’s sudden and awfui death has caused much genuine grief* here. Her -home was one-of eminent iospitality and she reigned a veritable social queen -in it. Some yeare^ago, she was detained c atr Augusta -by—the sickness of her children and, many of oar people must rampmhi»r hpr'kfnrilj and vividly. Her daughter, who now lingers between life and death, was seriously ill in.our town. It would be strange If she should have been spared in Georgia .to die. tragically in New York. This doublqaffliction will be a terrible blow to the husband and lather, who' has had tbe same melan choly reminder as his friend Mr. Bay^ ard that success in one direct* drearily accompanied with the _ of heart-break in another direction. So —The “vindication’ clones along. —Oat cutting has began in earnest in Southern Georgia. ‘ —Quitman is shipping about 100 crates of truck daily. —Melons will be shipped from Quit- man by the 20th of June. —Tbe Atlanta Capitol is much abused in Atlanta for not being more partis an. -Fulton county is to have an elec tion on the “fence” question on July 7th.” —The Savannah News favors “the brass band attachment” "in this cam paign. —The Qu\tman Free Piets says: “The Free Press is for Turner for Congress to the exclusion of all other issues at this time.” —The business men of Jackson are preparing a list and will boycott those ho are behind with their bills. This world is full of trouble. —A. K. Childs ,of Athens, has a fifty cent bill issued by tbe City Council of Macon. He has had the bill iu his possession for forty years. It is only redeemable in sums of $5. —Valdosta Times: “Amid the many elections and other excitements of the summer aud fall it will not be forgotten that a hanging is to take place in Valdosta next month. —The Atlanta Capitol says: “The mortality of the children of that city is alarming. No epidemic seems to pre vail, but if a child gets sick it seems almost impossible to save it from death.” . There are many people in Houston county who desire to vote for delegates to the Gubernotorial Convention favor ing neither Gordon or Bacon. Hon, J. C. C. Black, of Augusta, is tlie fa vorite of those who are thus in clined. —The Quituian Free Press, a mem ber of the “little court house ring” of Brooks says: “If our subscribers Will pay us what they owe us for subscrip tion, they shall be allowed to vote as they please for Governor. Now don’t forget that.” —Washington Gazette: “Thirteen cars 'of corn aud oats were received here week before last. This will use up u great deal ot cheap cotton. When it comes to be paid for many farmers will scratch their heads and wonder where the money is gone.” —The Warrentiou Clipper says: “The Ishmaelite says it is supporting Gen. Gordou because Mr. Baton’s position on the Railroad Commission was eva sive. A good many people who know Sid Lewis’s relative, Walker, married into the Trammell family, imagine that it was Bacon’s positive assertion that he would not nppoiut Newt. Trammell as a. commissioqer a amyL-._Gordqn^s4 refusal to toy - #hfpR8Kid do with ‘ gfc the slippery Newt, ha^ro weight in m causing the flop-over of Sidney.” —The Augusta News says: “The •pplarity of Hon. J. C. C. Black, tfa the people ofAtlauta is sorne- ing remarkable. Three out Of every five voters spoken to on tbe subject do j»pt hesitate to express their preference for him for Governor over either of the candidates. Mr. Black’s bold upon tbe -‘‘Tections of tlie people all over the .te is something phenomenal. He not sought it, neither can he be vailed upon to enter the political na, in tbe modern acceptation of e term. That he will be compelled at last to serve the public in an elevat- boldly asserted that be has stronger following in Atlanta than even Gen. Gordon.” True Business Principles. It is as easy to be a rich man as a poor one. Half the energy displayed, in keeping ahead that is required to catch up when behind would save credit, give more time to attend to business, and add to the profit aud reputation of those who work for gain. Honor your engagement. If you promise to meet a man or to do a certain thing at a certain moment, be ready at the ap pointed time. If you go on business, attend promptly to matters on hand, then'ns promptly go about your own -bussuess; • ♦ . ^ Do riot stop to tell stories in business hours; POWDER Absolutely Pure. ■ Thai Screnl 1886.
