ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, MARCH 1892.
ANNOUNCE.?! ENT.
Tlic firm of McIntosh & Green lias
■been dissolved by mutual consent, and
Mr. T. P. Green’s connection with the
Herald as part owner and business
manager ceases with this issue of the
paper. H. M. McIntosh will continue
the publication of the U.ui.y and
TVjerkt.y Herald, and T. P. Green
will resume bis job printing business.
Everything legitimately connected
with the Herald and the material
used In its publication passes into the
hands of II. M. McIntosh, and T. P.
Green takes his job printing outfit to
himself and resumes his former busi
ness. All accounts due the firm for
advertising and subscription will be
collected by H. M. McIntosh, and all
accounts for job printing by T, P.
Green. We have arranged between
ourselves for tvfcfng care of all the
liabilities of the dissolving firm.
This dissolution of copartnership
and the separation of the publication
of the Herald from the job printing
business is due to no rupture or mis
understanding upon our part, but is
the result of a friendly mutual agree
ment based upon what appears to us
to be for our mutual benefit.

I leave the Herald with regrets, for

have. But l could not leave it in bet

Sunday morning . the Herald
asked if there were enough Alliance-
men in the Second Congressional dis
trict to control the next district Dem
ocratic convention. We asked the
question in good faith, because we
wanted to know, and thought that
perhaps some well informed Alliance-
man of tile district who had been to
the Alliance convention at Cuthbert
would be willing to furnish the de
sired information. An Allinncemnn,
whose communication we publish this
morning rises, to the question, hut not
for the purpose of answering it. He
embraces the opportunity to “offer a
•few thoughts suggested by this ques
tion,” but takes particular pains to let
the question itself severely alone. We
gladly give place to the well express
ed thoughts of this Allianccinan, and
have no fault to llnd with anything
that he says. His suggestions are
timely and seem to be prompted by a
desire for Democratic harmony. Of
course all Democrats will be for the
nominee, after the convention. The
Herald will be, whether he be an
Allianceman or not; but since the
Alliance has brought out a candidate
we can’t see the harm of our inquiry as
to whether there are enough Alliance-
men in the district to control the
Democratic convention. The Herald
is in search of information which
would be interesting to the public,
and if the Allianceman whose com
munication our query has elicited will
not furnish it perhaps another will.
“Military Day,” April 1st, will be
one of the most attractive features of
the meeting. The staff officers of the
Fourth Regiment will be present, and
a special invitation has been sunt to
the Guards, Hussars and the South
Georgia Cadets of this city.
Maj. T. N. Hopkins is in receipt of a
letter from Col. Wight, of Albany, in
which he says:
‘We hope to send all our military
friends away from us feeling that we
have done all,In our power to make
their short stay with us a pleasant
occasion, and wishing that the tiuio
may soon roll round when they will
again come to Albany as bur guests.”
Albany understands the art of hos
pitality, and she will make the visit of
our military boys very pleasant to
them.”
A EIRE IN EAST UOUMIIUHTY.
Justice \V. J. Mocli’s Court
Destroyed.
News reached the city Saturday
that Justice W. J. Mock’s court house,
situated in tho Eastern part of the
county, about five miles from Albany,
bad been destroyed by Are.
It occurred early Saturday morning
and when first discovered the flames
had gained such headway that it was
impossible to get them under control,
The building was a small frame one,
and was only used ns a justice court
house.
Saturday was the regular court
day, and Justice Mock called court to
order in the woods. There were a
number of cases to be tried, and tho
tall pines furnished the only roof the
crowd bad.
Tramps frequently spent the night
in the building, and they are supposed
to have started the blaze, ns several
were seen in the neighborhood just
before dark oh the night of the fire.
The idea of taking up some other
New Yorker thnn either Cleveland or
Hill, or of leaving New York entirely
out and looking elsewhere for a Presi
dential candidate seems to be growing.
A Washington special says on Ibis
line: “The Democrats here generally
recognize the recent Democratic State „ ( ,„ el . a i
convention field in' New York as a big
affair, and acknowledge that as far as
tile regular Democracy of that State is
concerned, it is practically solid for
Senator Hill, and Hint the only tiling
tile anti-Hill men in New York can do
is to convince Ibe Democrats all over
the country thal it will be necessary
to go elsewhere than New York for a
candidate for President. The most
ardent Hill mao and tho’most intense
Clevelahd advbcnte ill the country can
now see that the nomination'of either
would mean the loss of the electoral

Mr. J. C. Cassidy’s place of business
was closed by the Sheriff on last
Saturday night, by virtue of a mort
gage foreclosure in favor of llobbs
Tucker.
Mr. Cassidy has beon doing a gen
eral merchandise business, and there
had been no rumors of his embarrass

in* doing a prosperous business, arid
the news of his failure was beard witli

.Mr. Cassidy was seen by a repre

and he talked freely about the matter

of carrying tho load that had been
gradually accumulating upon him,
and that after some of his creditors
declined to give him an extension he

SHE DIED FOR DIXIE.'
Accused of Being n Spy, tho Disguised
Uh l Mnilo No Defense iind Wus Shot.
Wo had crossed tho river to bunt
for Lee and gave him battle in the
Wilderness. Darkness wns just set
tling down and the advance had
hnltod for the night when a squad of
cavalry brought in a young man
from our front. He wore a mixed
uniform, us did most of the Con fed
unites at that day, or its did most of
those belonging to the partisan com
mauds.
He had on blue trousers, u putter
nut junket, nnd his hat belonged to
neither side. They said he was a
spy. They said it cureless enough,
but there was mi awful significance
in the term at thuit hour. In camp
Ik would have been searched. Inter
legated anil imprisoned. It might
have been weeks before his trial, and
lit would have been allowed every
bailee for his life.
We were on the march. There
had beon lighting. There would lie
more tomorrow. ’Hint meant a
drumhead tidal for the spy.
How speedily everything wns ar
ranged. 1 was ut headquarters and
saw nnd heard it nil. Within half nil
hour a court martial was convened

into the face of the young man ill
first witli interest-then with some
tiling like admiration. 1 said a young
man. I was wrong. He was a hoy
of seventeen or oighteun. He hail
big blue eyes, chestnut curls mid Ins
cheeks were as smooth as a girl s.
He was a handsome lad.'uud I lielieve
that every man in tho tent felt to
pity him.
"What’s your name!”
“James Blank.”
“What regimeut?"
No reply.
"Are you a citizen or n soldier?"
No reply.
‘■Can you make any defense to the
charge of being a spy?"
No reply.
The office™ looked at each other
and nodded, and tho president waved
his hand. It didn’t seem a minute
before a file of soldiers came, 'flic
face of the boy grew white, but lie
moved like one in a dream. His big
bluo eyes looked upon one aftei kii
other, ns if searching for a friend
and my heart yearned to cry. out that
he wns only a boy nnd ought to lie
given more time.
Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
It was the detail marching off into
the darkness.
"Halt! Tie this handkerchief over
his eyes I"
They had brought a lantern. By
its light I saw the lug blue eyes for
the last time as they looked around
in n ilnzed way. 1 wanted to shout
to tlio boy and warn him that it was
not even yet too late to prove that he
was not what they believed him to
be, but the griimiess of the sceue
parched my tongue.
“Place him there 1 Pall hack! At

Ten minutes later the officer in
charge of the firing party touched
his cap and reported:
“Orders have been executed. Hir.”
"Any further evidence?"
“No, sir, except that she was q
young woman." -Bradon Bucksaw.
PROFESSIONAL SCAPEGOAT&
A Ronmrkitblo General.
Among types of the Italian army
in 1799, described by General Maiiuit,
is that of Gen Macard, commanding
a division of cavalry. He wns one
of those officers raised by hazard and
by their courage, and who, while of
real value before the enemy, were
not less incapable, from their want
of instruction, of holding high rank.

Music charms a snake into silence,
as the experiments at the Zoo and
elsewhere prove, but the agitated
contortions and writhings of the
scorpions when roused by tho sound
of the violin only proved that thei
are roused by the vibrationsof non in
caused by music, and this would hup
pen if they were disturbed by tin-
discordant sounds of a penny tnmi

-London Spectator,
Men Who Aro Discharged Sovoral Timet
Every Day Six Day* In tho Weak.
‘Professional scapegoat” does not
appear among the thousands of occu
pations which designate the uianndi
of employment of tho inhabitants oi
this city as classified in the Philadel
phia directory. More than one man
whose name appears there graced by
the simple but comprehensive word
"clerk,” is,.if tho truth woi-e known,
fully entitled to classification as a
professional scapegoat.
There is more than one that is paid
a substantial salary by large houses
for no otlior occupation than taking
upon liis shoulders the blame for all
the misdeeds of the establishment
and suffering the supposed loss of his
situation at the rate of a dozen times
a day. or as much oftener as occasion
may require. Boing discharged a
half dozen times u day without once
losing his position, and at the same
time being well paid, for the peculiar
performance, is indeed a novel idea.
ThiB is how it is done:
A lady makes n purchase of sovoral
articles, all of which are to bo sent
to her address as given, before a cor
tain hour, without fail. The follow
ing day tho customer returns and in
her own sweet way proceeds to "tear
out" tho floor manager or proprietor,
ns it may be, because the goods ti: 'od
to arrive tit the promised hour. The
story is patiently heard, and tho word
is passed along for Smith. Smith
makes his appearance with a coun
tenance professionally penitent uud
submissive.
' ‘Smith, "tho manager begins, "you
wore iustractod to seuil tills lady’s
goods to the address given you before
4 o’clock?”
"Yes, sir,” is Smith’s plaintive re
ply, "but"
"Never mind an explanation. 1 un
dorstand. Your neglect caused the
dolay and has risked tho loss of one
of our best customers. We cannot
put up with your carelessness any
longer. Y mi may go to the office and
get your puy.”
Smith steals away with u ready
made crestfallen look upon his face.
“Madam, [ regret the occurrence of
such mi unnecessary blunder, but ns
sure you it will not happen again;
Huroly not from that man," nnd
madam takes her departure fully
satisfied that she has had her revenge.
Another irate customer appears on
the scene. This time the trouble is
with a suit of furniture which had
been purchased a week before as in
perfect order, but has already begun
to show signs of approaching disso
lution. Tln> aggrieved purchaser
opens on the manager, who at onco
sends for the "man who ..takes tho
blume” and opens his usual pro
gramme.
"How is this, sir? What do you
mean by sonding out goods in such a
condition? You have boon repeated
ly told not to permit any goods to
lenvq your department unless in per
foot order. This is not tho first timo
tips has hnjqnjnod, hut it will be tho
last. Go to the office and get your
pay; wo linvo no further use for your
services.
"Madam, I am very Horry that you
should have beon so deceived by one
of our salesmen. We cannot very
well take back the furniture after it
has been used, but wo will send a
man to your house to put it in proper
shape," nnd the lady goes on her
way satisfied that she has received
justice.
"The man who takes the blame” is
next discharged for overcharging in
making a sale of silk dress goods.
He then suffers a tirade of abuse,
and is also to go beeauso he has sold
a sot 'tit fine china without calling
tho attention of tho purchaser to bov
eral little defects. And so it goes
from morning to night, day after day
week in and week out. Tho poor
fellow is mado to suffer for all the
sins of tho entire establishment. tVom
the manager down to the errand boy.
"It is somewhat strange." said a
floor walker, "hut the fact is that
many people are satisfied to put lip
witli considerable inconvenience if
they enn only lie revenged by seeing
some one discharged. Sometimes
when u-e bring outom;man who takes
the blame, the customer ventures to
suggest that be is not the man who
waited on her, but wo insist thnt he
is, and the man adds liis own asser
tion, and in nine cases out of ton the
customer is convinced. Very few
people take enough notice of a sales
man to identify him unless they meet
him frequently.
"I have known some establish
meiits that have employed two or
more men to lako blame in order to
facilitate matters. The funniest part
of the thing is tbiil our .scapegoat
mini grows fat on, being 'cussed.' He
has increased from ISO to 380 pounds
in fifteen mouths, and smfleb so much
that we will have to change him and
get some flyspepljc looking individual
ill liis place." -Philadelphia Record.
Tl»o Prisoner’* Clou.
One of our young lawyers tells a
good one oil himself. At the lost
term of the court Jtulge Roney ap
pointed him to defend a negro who
was "cuse er something concerning
Liver hog." The case was plain and
the negro was soon standing before
his honor for sentence, when the
usual question was asked if ho had
anything to say before sentence was
passed. His reply was, "Nutliin
much, boss, 'coptin I hope yer will
keep in mind de youngness uv my
lawyer.” — Waynesboro (Ga.) True
