From the Washington (Ga.) Chronicle. About two weeks ago Squire John q, Adame saw In the Christian Index the name Rev. E. H. Lawrence, as being pastor of a Baptist church in Morgan county. Mr. A. sent him postal, asking if he had not been member of Oglethorpe Company A, C3d Georgia regiment in ’02-3. Mr. Lawrence replea in a long letter say ing lie is the very man, anil then he gives an account of himself from Chat tanooga to Atlanta, thence to Nash ville under Hood, and the awful jour ney home. T astly Mr. Lawrence gives tills incident, which lie and his com rades in arms are likely to remember to their dying day: “ I thought you dead long ago, or would have hunted you up; but liviug or dead^ I’ve thought of you for twenty vears. Do you remember the Bible you gave n»e, one just to lit my side pocket? It went through manv bat tles with me; but at Keiiuesaw Moun tain that Bible saved my life.

I still have the book with the ball resting where it stopped. And so, Got] bless you, old friend, now and evermore. (We hear these old veterans are going to have an annual rcutiioii all by themselves.) While dotting down this delightful reminiscence of war times, we caught this other anecdote In the same way. Our worthy squire was reading his letter (ju*t taken from the post,) for the benefit of another old Ogle thorpe soldier who lives in tills town Mr. Sol. Foreman, as gallant a soldier is ever fired a inusket, when ids young clerks near by, (who always managed to give a nickel each year to convert the heathen asked what does the seventh verse of Isaiah says? The squire answered, “I do not know; I haven’t a Bible, meaning then and there. The boys didn’t so understand him. When he left the stores, the boys began to take up a collection of nickels, to buy a Bible for the squire. He never heard how near success they came; but before they did succeed, the brave justice heard of the move in his bob all, and going at once to the clerks, he proposed to knock their heads together on the .lerry Cruncher S ian, with some slight inprovements. reflection, however, both parties agreed on a compromise, the clerks agreed to answer three questions or to apologize. Then up steps the boss himself, as pious , . . and as well read in scripture as his clerk. He pats his boy on the head and says: “I’ll tell ’em all they don’t know.” “Well,” says the squire, “firsts who was the father ofZebidee’s children?” The boss nits Ids brow, the clerks scratch their heads, but no answer. Second, why didu’t so rich a man as Job own but one turkey V” Distress among the boss and clerks. “Third, liow poor was Job’s turkey ?** Here the boys and boss collapse and beg for . .. . .. n y e j- e j mercy, the latter, treating to cigar, the former promising to double their annualjsubscriptioii to the heath en, while the squire walks oil’, won dering how long it will be before a Washington man gets away with him. SNUFF AND SNUFF TAKERS. A Habit that in I*>’litff Out Hoth Rarlk and saiith—Mnuff Dlp- plug. N. Y. Mall anil Express. In the front window of nearly every big retail tobacco store from the bat tery to Harlem is a small louud glass or earthernware vessel, shaped uot un like a Boston bean pot, and ornament- • ed on the side or across the top with a faded yellow label with quaint, old- fashion letters on it. Although hun dreds of thousands pass these modest little receptacles every day, ami mill ions of eves, run cureless over them,, not one 'person in 10,000 has ever stopped to examine them or knows what U in them, and uot one in 100,- 000 of the patrons of these stores would have any accurate idea of what the stuff really is, even if they were told, so completely has what was once the most popular ami almost the only way ot uciiig tobacco fallen into disuse even In this tobacco consuming age. The little bean pots contain snufl’. There was a time when they would have been the most attractive articles in a tobacconist’s display.

This committee met in the office of the President of the Senate yesterday morning and held a quite lively ses- s'ou. Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary Towers and his assistant, Colonel Shu- brick, were first examined. From sta tistics presented by these gentlemen it was found that the distribution of con victs lu the penitentiary on the first day of June was as follows: Dake county. Coke, 448, W. O.

As soon as lie he heard of the matter he order ed the principal keejier to proceed at once to investigate, to go about it quietly but promptly, and while ex tremely careful not to permit any thing to distract his attention from the main object. He also gave it as his opinion that all reports relative to the tieatnraut of convicts, no matter how they were made, demanded investiga tion. The committee discussed these charges briefly, and appointed Air. Schofield, of Bibb, a member of the committee and its secretary, toaccom- TOO MARY WONEN. A TRAGEDY IN STATISTICS.

These are divided among three com panies. The Dade County Coal Alin ing Company owns penitentiary No. one. one-eighth of penitentiary No. 2 and one-fourth of peutiary No. three. Colonel W. B. Lowe owns seven- eigtlis of penitentiary No. two, and is interested in Captain English's inter est iu No. three. Captain J. W. English owns one- fourth of No. three. Colonel J. M. Smith owns one-fourth of No. three, aud Colonel T. L. James owns the remaining f ourth of that pen- itetiitiary. COLONEL TOWERS was questioned at length upon the ex act condition of affairs, both as to the leases and as to tiie physical welfare of the convicts. He explained that the only ones of the original lessees who still continue in that capacity are Senator Brown and and Colonel IV. B. Lowe. Mr. English acquired his interest by the purchase of the Simp son interest. The committee expressed a desire to know something of the whipping bosses. Colonel Towers explained at length that tiie lessees select the men for tiie position, subject to the approv al of the principal keeper. After be ing approved the Governor makes the appointment. These bosses, who are the captains, have absolute control over who shall be punished. The statement ot Sub-lessee Gress that he decided who should lie whipped was denied by Colonel Towers, who said that Gress was given no authority over his captain. COLONELSHCBRICK TALKS. Assistant Keeper Shubrick said that tiie visits of the officers to the various camps was necessarily very hurried And unsatisfactory. He was inclined to think that the general work of vis iting might be done iu thirty days, but the visiting officer would iiave only the general appearance of things ro rely upon and could not give the thorough examination contemplated by tiie statutes. There is no State of ficial located at any of tiie camps. When questioned as to the ap|>oiut- mer.t of chaplains, Colonel Shubrick said he was inclined to believe that the law in respect to ehaplains is carried out. He went into details concerning the management of the camps, saying that the principal defect4s the neglect to furnish proper meat and vegetables. There is no Georgia penltenticry proper, but each company has a home camp. The law of 1876 provides that there shall be one central camp, wiiere all women and children shall l>e kept blit tills law is not lived up to. That portion of section 3 of that law relative to the association of persons convicted of moral turpitude, is uot carried out. It is observed so far as tiie separation oi sexes is concerned. Tiie men and tiie women are putln ilitVerent houses and they are given work for which they are fitted. The women do women’s work, aud the children what work they are able. The boys are kept with the men. There are seven teen boys between 10 and 15 years of age, and one hundred and forty be tween 15 and 20. A PROMINENT LESSEE. Colonel W. B. Lowe, one of the lead ing lessees, was asked to present the views of himself and Ids collegtics. lie explained ids connection with the les sees. He produced a contract made with Steele & Co., made iu 1SS2, and a renewal in 1885. He was questioned as to tiie sub-leasing of convicts and practically acknowledged to hiring out the uicn for monthly pay. The same kind of contracts exists with the Cedartown company. Colonel Lowe claimed to have the right to work the men for monied consideration. He was further questioned as to the cost of maintaining the convicts. He claimed that the total expense per capita was $145 to $150 per year. The lessees received one dollar per day for each convict who works on the railroad Colonel Lowe stated that a contract had just been made with Air. Gress and with the company at Cedartown, bo go into effect on January 1st, for fifty men at $22.50 per month. As to escapes, Colonel Lowe stated that Ids company has iuid forty-three earnpes in the last two years. For iiiuu of these the sum of $1„S00 lias been paid into the State Turns >ry; fifteen are now being sued, and tiie company lias been released from the responsibility in the other cases on tiie grounds that the escapes were not due to negligence. governor Gordon’s views. At the afternoon session of tiie com mittee Governor Gordon was in at tendance upon request. Chairman questioned him as to the disposal of convicts in case they should come to him by forfeiture, tills being a question which the members of the committee Iiave dismissed at length. The Gov ernor said that the question was one which he hail considered at much length, lie did not think that under the terms of the lease lie had any right to retain convicts which might be re timed to the State through forfeiture beetles, be taken from placed In some sort of a reformatory to be erected by the State. At tiie conclusion of tiie hearing, tiie committee adjourned until Thurs- 6 o’clock. Tiie var- lay morning at ous members with the exception of Mr. Schofield, left for their homes.

Mr. Davis Asked «o Address the Illinois Farmers. Chicago, June 23.—An Inter-Oceau special from Danville Ills., says: The following letter was received to-day: Beauvoir, Miss., June 20.—To Col. P. Howard, Danville, III.. Clear Sir:— In answer to your letter of request by the Danville Farmers’ aud Alechaiiics’ Institute that 1 should deliver an ad dress at its fair, I reply, us I did last year: Some years ago I delivered an address at the Winnebago county fair, and was received with great courtesy. There I was among friends, for my memory went back to the mouths ot June, July and August, 1832, when as lieutenant u|ion the staff or Col. Zach- arlali Taylor 1 was stationed at Prairie Du Chien, or Fort Crawford, ms it was theu known, ami during the memora ble and historical Black Hawk war it was my good fortune to help In pro tecting the settlers of that country whose deceiulauts I spoke to at Rock- lord. I can uot couie to Illinois tills year. Thanking the association through you, I have only to say, as I said last September, in an open letter to Colo- uei J. T. Sharr, of Baltimore, that I deny the charges made against uie by General William T. Sherman,in which lie says I was foremost in encouraging the late war. I say to you, my dear Colonel, that I did all iu uiy power, to prevent the late war. and that I never looked tor nor aspired to the post of chief executive of the Confederate States. I may say that order ot the war de partment to return the captured flags io late Confederate Slates was a viola tion of all known military precedents. You will find in uiy history of the late war that there were but 26 regiment- of regular troops in tiie army of the North, and a total of 650 Confederate flags captured, it is questionable It these 26 regiments captured 50. The lia;& were captured by the volunteer army of the North and belong to the several States, aud have no right to be in the national capital. Respectfully Jefferson Davis. Special to Indianapolis News. Boston, June 22.—-The great num ber of recent railroad disasters iu New England, aud the facts that Iiave been made publie through the discussion of the receutly enacted employers’ liability law in Massachusetts, throw new women of all the facts bearing phenomenon reveals a tragedy which may be told iu statistics. Who are these surplus women? Unmarried. So It lias been supposed, erroneously. It lias been assumed that they were unmarried; the maiden* aud spinsters “left” iu the struggle for matrimonial prizes, and therefore presumably not the fittest. But an investigation made for tiie News shows that they are neither young maidens nor spiusters, but they were not long ago the ‘-fit test,” the brightest of their sex, who early won the love and support of brave young fellows, and are now— widows. It takes very lew figures to rell this fact in the tragedy. The total excess of females in the State is 76.- 373, aud of tills number 65,604 or more than 85 per cent, are widows, the total number of wid owed men in the State being 32.154. and ot widowed women 97,158 It is not among woiiieu of advanced vears, or even among those of middle life, that the great excess is found. More than half are not yet forty, and 29,004 are of ages between twenty and thirty. They had but ta»ted of the happiness of wifehood aud mother hood when they were made “super fluous.” A great number of these women are the widows of the men whose dreadful deaths by a thousand forms of mutilation we rend of iu our newspapers night and morning—the young wage-earners killed iu danger ous occupation*. The perils of fisheries are a fami liar tale. Since the earliest colonial days the coast population has derived irs'supiiort mainly from the sea, and it the dowu East minister’s salary is no longer paid iu cod and mackerel by weight or count, It is none tiie less paid with cod ami mackerel in another way. Tiie fisherman sees but very little of hi; home. His quest takes him one hundred and fifty to a thous and or more miles away from Glou cester. He enters the little dory, and casting oil* from the vessel, exposes himself to the full force of the Atlan tic. With the best of luck his suffer ings are severe, ami it is often that the worst of luck overtakes him. Lost in the fog he dies in the agonies of starv ation and thirst, and “last seen on the Georgies” is the only word that ever gets back to the desolate home at Glou cester. From ninety to 250 lives a year are lost from vessels hailing from that single port of Gloucesi* r. La-l year the number was 115. Not con centrated In one locality and occupa tion, but enormously greater in the aggregate is the loss of life iu the in dustries, The. uetwork of railroads that covers the State is the great min- otaur. The average number of fatal accidents to railroad employes during (he ten years, 1875 to 1886, was 44.1 per cent. The average number of ac- idents not fatal was 130, ami a large proportion of these, it should lie re membered. resulted ultimately in pre mature death. The number of per sona not employes killed while walk ing or laying on the track was 97.9 per year. An analysis of the latter num ber shows that the popular notion that track-walkers are usually drunken men or tramps is as iniscikcu as popu lar notions iu general. The majority of them are laborers, going to and from work by the railroad track, be cause it is more iliiect than, the high way. Tiie fatalities among men who meet death while actually engaged iu the unties of their culling make up a pain ful record. Here is one case from many in my notebook.

I of infiueutial friends triej to help ou lie was very decidedly ot the opinion, however, that the Governor had tiie right to lease any such convicts with out reference to the other lessee*, but the lease would have to be for the bal- nn -e of the twenty years of the origi nal lease. He had asked the opinion of various attorneys upon this ques tion from time to time, but had never had the occasion to ask the Attorney- General tor tiie opinion. Should any forfeiture be made at any time, he would not act until he had consulted with the Attorney-General. In the discussion over these ques tions and of the system as a whole. Governor Gordon called attention to a case which came under his considera tion a few day vgo. It is a case where gross violation of contract is charged against Ex-Senator James M. Smith, who operates the Oglethorj>e farm near Athens. The charge is that for several Sundays the convicts Iiave been openly worked all day upou the farm, which is iu violation of the contract and lease. And it Is also cliarged that on June 6th tiie con victs rebelled against tills treatineut and attempted an escape, and that sev eral were killed by the guards. The matter was, it is charged, hushed tip and no report has been made. The Governor said, concerning this case, that the reports had been made a week or more ago by the principal keeper of the penitentiary, and com municated by Colonel Towers to him.

Her own family, with an exception, did everything to induce her to preter the rich suitor. Young as she was, and with ail society making a pet of her, she gave up everything—gave uo so ciety, gave up home, gave up every luxury and fascination that women are supposed to hohl dear—and mar ried the mau of her choice. Aud she is happy—far happier than many wiio ask: “ Why did you make the choice you did?

Every time yon meet a red headed girl you will see a white horse.* Half a block further auother red headed girl was met. Where’s your white horse now?* aske 1 the reporter. •There's one taming the next corn- nie Day was a comely, affectionate girl, whose father was an engineer on the same road.

He kept his word in both particulars but tiie railroad officers did not keep theirs. John was still ou the platform of his lassengercar when there were three ittle Gaylords in Ahtdc’s neat kiieli- eu. One day John was in especially good spirits as lie started off and he looked back ahd waved his dinner mil to Annie ami tiie three little faee- u tiie doorway. Tne next day the train had covered two-thirds o‘r tin- return trip when the signal sounded for brakes. John sprang to his post The brakeman on the freight car just forward saw the passenger car topple to ouc side, saw John standing at his brake and turned away his eyes. The Ktssengers crawled our, not one badly njured, and the trainmen looked about for John. They found him un der the wreck, his hands clutching the broken brake—white, dead.

Now multiply this case of Auuie Day by almost the uunjJier of weeks in the year, change the scenes and in cidents in every case, aiidyou begin to iiave a dim idea of the tragedy of rail road employment in this old little State so full of roads.

The Dawson Journal reports the fol lowing: Monday Sheriff Marshall received a telegram from die marshal or Shell- man to arrest Paul Price for murder. Price is a railroad baud ami the sheriti found him between this place and Sheilinau with the gang. He wa: placed in jail, and an officer came up Tuesday night and took tiim to Cnth- bert. Price, we learn, was on the cannon ball train Sum! ly night com ing to Dawson, aud when it stopped at Shelliuan he stepped out upon the platform aud <'i*cliargcd his pistol, the ball taking effect in. a Negro man near by and killing him almost instantly. The. pri-amer claims that he did uot know any one was in the direction ij, which li • shot, it being dark, and that the killing was purely accidental. UCon.nmptlou Incurable?

A Minneapolis lady, making her way through a crowd on the street the other day, accidently pushed a small bootblack info the gutter. She instant ly stopped and said: “My boy, exeu.-e tiie; T did nor mean to push you.” Tiie little fellow stared at her a moment, and then, .turning to his companion, said; “Sav. Mickey, I’d be pushed off*n the walk every day to have a real lady talk to me that why.” di.-posed ol. Such peo ple do not think it improbable that the j head said to be held for exhibition in | New York is a genuine thing. Dr E. j F. Schafhirt, the anatomist ot the \ Medical Museum, when lie went to the J jail at the time of the'execution, June 30,1SS2, took with him some embalm- | mg fluid ami a syringe for Its applica- j lion. After, the hanging, when tiie physicians were umkiuga post-mortem examination, os most of those present | were engaged in the examination of j tiie brain. Dr. Schafhirt injected tiie J embalm! g fluid into the fleshy part of the head aud face. The story ol the burial of the assassin’s body in the basement of the jail building. Its res urrection a few nights after and re moval to the Medical Museum, is well known, although many persons at first j 1! nibted that suehdi-positlou had been * made of it. At the museum the body was piaeed in a bowl of spirits, and subsequently the bones w« re articu- 11 e I, aud are uow iu the must u >». It is usual for the flesh to be destroyed with the soft parts of the body, but such is the tnniua of some people tor relics of a ghastly nature that any thing pertaining to the assassin was sought after. Pieces of the coffin are now to be found in many cities, and a physician in Georgia has now a small piece of the cartilege from the assas sin’s breast bone. Dr. Schafhirt hav ing to prepare »Jieskeletoii determined to make the attempt to preserve the boneless head, lie therefore plaeedrit iu a glass jar filled with liquid, and some of his intimate friends, several months afterward, were given an op portunity to look Guiteau square in he face.' Although the jar in which it was kept was small, and the fare was so pinched as to be scarcely recog nizable, when it was taken out aud placed over a hall of tow, the regular features of Guiteau were easily recog nized. Tiie head in New York enu, if genuine, ea-ily be recognized. “I haven’t tiie slightest uoubt of tiie correctness of the story that Guitean’s head and face are to !>e exhibited pub licly in New York,'* raid a well known citizen to a Star laqiorter to-day. “The ‘are a.id other fleshly parts of the body vere not destroyed, as was supposed, but were preserved by Dr. Schafhirt, the anatomist of the Medical 3Iu*ctun, Hie skull and bone were, of course, reiained by:lie museum, but the rest of tiis body was vegan led by Dr. Seiiaf- hirt as his private property. I lie face and scalp were preserved intact, aud were -o cleverly filled out by the an atomist as to appear as if the entire skull was there. It was Gulteao’s face, with the scraggy beard, scar on the scalp, and everything as natural as life. It remained in Dr.Sehafhirt’s private office for at least eight months, and I frequently saw if, as did a num ber of other people. The clothes worn by the assassin were also preserved in a chest iu the. same room. When I recall the remark that I heard Dr. Schafhirt make about the face, I have •10 doubt of the authenticity of the story. 1 remember lie- said in effect :hat a Government position is not al ways a certainty, and that the time would come when he could turn these things to account. Undoubtedly the notorious Guiteau will be exnibiled to *he public as natural as lile.” *iv n me.
