Oat Old Xu With Lag Fariw.
The following is the statement made by
Troy Dye. tlie Sacramento murderer. In
court during his trial:
Last may he was sick half of each day.
Fora long time lie had an extra severe pain;
it aeerned as if something rose in his skull,
and it made him cry out; then if he would
see an object at a certain distance it would
appear double, and that defect still remains.
He had confusion of idea*. He is now 35
years of age; enlisted in the federal army
at 17: was in tlie sixth Kansas altout seven
months, and was transferred to tlie fourth
Kansas. He can hear very little out of tlie
right ear; the sight of hts right eye is not
affected, but t lie re is something wrong
about it; cannot tell exactly vhat. He
was elected in 1876 public administrator,
and made an active campaign.
“ KIM.KK8 ”—THE CRIME SCOGEffTED.
Haymond asked: *• When did any
first suggest to you anything about having
‘killers?*"
Objected to as assuming a state of facts
not proven.
Haymond said he could show that others
than Lawton and Anderson sugr*»ted
but he wanted to consult with the sheriff
first as to whether the disciur ure of the
names would teud to defeat the end* of jus
tice. J
Haymond—When were • killers’’ first
suggested to you seriously?
Witness—I cannot say, as it was talked
e so much. Everyone on the street \vou._
ask: “W hen are you going tosend out your
killers?* It was first suggested, pmhahiv.
about two weeks after the election, by a man
who wa* in earnest, apparently. Torn Ijiw-
ton suggested it to witness In May last,
when he and Tom first went down the river
to his brother's. Lawton often talked of it.
Witnewj finally assented. It wa-* about the
1st of June when these proposition* were
made seriously. They caine from a man in
very high standing in this communitv.
\\ it ness replied to him he wanted to come
out of office white. The man never >poke
of it again. He wax in earnest. Then an
other party known to the sheriff spoke to
him. He had complained to the man of the
hard times, and the office paid nothing. The
it* *»M »t would pay if he only knew how-
use it, and he asked him what he meant,
d said that when things came his way he’d
know how to exercise his office. The man
replied: “Why don't yon have some of
these old rich fellows croaked?” I thought
he said choked. I was always raised h nest
and never had murder in my heart- I wa*
always kind-hearted. Men would often ask
jocularly, about my ‘*killcrs” being out.
TIIE IDE.% or CRIME BECOMING FIXED.
I began to ponder on the matter, and it
grew into my mind till I could think of noth
ing else, as I might say. I could not sav
what my conduct was to |teople—they caii
sav bent; but I remember my old friend*
a-king what had conic over me, why I
moped and looked so. Mr. A hardt, an old
frieiul, told a friend of his that witness was
acting strange to him. lie told the friend
he wa* not aware of it.
Who was the party who suggested to
»u to kill (Msqile?
Haymond advised witness not to answer,
because the jmny wa* known to the sheriff,
and the end of public justice required that
the name should he withheld.
The court thought the name had better
not be given.
Witness resumed: The man suggested a
particular jx-r-on to be killed—«Mis* W&sli-
bum. At tlmt time witness bad never
thought of committing any criminal offense,
and spurned the idea. 1 cannot say why I
did not go to the sheriff and district attor
ney and tell them of the offer. I ought to
aboutk il ling-
lie came to my saloon
man with him. After a while lie pointed
le out ami said, “This is the public udinin-
'trator; he can only make anything out of
the office by having a'killcr.'* I feel a* if
lid take a job;*l feel as if I’d kill any one for
$1U0. Odell in the morning is going to stop
meat." The other mail asked, "How do
vou ]iav killers’?” I said, “On the share.”
Next «lay Anderson came in and said: “I
came near giving you a job; I saw an old
fellow on L street; he is rich; 1 saw him
ng from the show; I stop|ied in his
gateway with a bur of iron, and wa* going
to knock him down, but two men were with
him.” I told Anderson that that would
never do. Anderson said the man had
money and no relatives; that wa* old
man Jackson. I am telling the truth:
may God never let me leave this
chair if I am not; I've no hard feelings
agatnat Anderson; no dcsir* to put any thing
ou him untrue. It must have lm in May,
and. according to my brother's testimony,
May 5, that I yielded. Jackson was in niy
sob sin one night; did not tell Anderson to
kill him; did not send Anderson to follow
him to the post-office and kill him; never
told Anderson or anyone to poison Jackson;
do not know that Anderson orC’iarKwent
to do it. Anderson told me he and Uwton
went to Jackson to poison him. When he
went to kill Tullis, that was the first time ..„ w , , tii , wuv%i mjv MIHM ^ N1 ,

THE DEATH SWEEP.

of the Cincinnati Fnnuirer is a truest at «*■»" muusanu anu uue uunureu
tl.e Cincinnati h.nqu.rer, la anuret a. the FIELD, THE FARM, THE CARDEN. poamLa of pork, which has notrenuan.nl THE SCOURGE IN EASTERN EUROPE,
exceeding ten bushels of corn. Mr. Pope .
Willards, and like most men from the west, is
full of theories and things. The Post, which
hunger*th after information, put its siphon
into Mr. Spear's inner consciousness last
evening, with tlie following effect:
“What is the *Ohio idea’ of which the
country has heard so much of late?”
“If you read the Enquirer, a* all good
citizens should, yon would have no occasion
to-ask the question,” replied Mr. Spear,
with lofty dignity.
“Bui I. in common with about thirty-
nine million nine hundred and ninety
tlioosand citizens of the republic, do not
read that interesting sheet, not for lack of
interest, but for lack of time, hence must
confess to ignorance on the point present-
ed.”
“The ‘Ohio idea.* in my opinion, upon
the currency question to^dav is, that the
right to make money properly inheres
the government alone; that means no
banks of issue."
“Would you have no banks?"
“Yes, banks for banking.”
“What do you mean by that?"
“That the right to do a banking bud:
and the right to make money, are widely
different thing*. The first-named the banks
alone should do, mud the latter the govern
ment alone should do.”
“Then I am to understand,” said the
hie financial reporter of the Post, “that
the next canqsiigu in Ohio will be a war
on the national hanks?
t speak for the democratic party
of Ohio, but I think the fight will he made

Boil down your proposition,” said the
Poet’s sagaciousyoung man.
“I will; it Is this: that the government
i the United States shall make all of the
money made in this country/*
“How*”
“V
it?*
The Post feloniously and false!v replied
it didn’t know, in order io give the Enquirer
—an some needed confidence.
‘Til tell you then.” said the editor of the
west. “They made money, secured bv gov
ernment credit at last, and redeemable in
government credit at first, and receive a pre
mium of about $15,000,000 a year for doing
“But what have you to say of the success
of resumption?’
Drawinghimsclf^ipand wrappinghix toga
about his manly form, the able editor snid:
“There is no resumption; there is not even
redemption; it is only equalization.”
’Do you favor Sam. Cary fiat foolery?’
‘It is the redemption that Is ‘fiat/ more
than the greenback."
“What do you mean by that?” said the
Post.
“That the national banks have put $300,-
000,000 in coin, with $322,000,000 of circula
tion, and the government has proltablv
much less than $150.<0),000 of com availa
ble with which to redeem $317,000,000 of
irculation. Besides these two immense
unis, there are $2,000,000,000 of debits in
the hanks of tlie country, and these twenty-
six hundred and seventy millions of proiii-
ise-to-pay are at !a*t redeemable in these
$130,000,000, or thereabouts, of coin. 1 call
that fiat resumption.” said Mr. S|»ear, with
a gush of sareaxtn that would have lit'erlv
overwhelmed long John Sherman if lie
could have heard it.
“Is your ‘idee’ democratic?’
“The democratic party is the historic foe
of special privilege, ami the right to make
money is tlie most enormous of all special
privileges. Over yonder is the (latent of
fice. It is full of testimony that the right
to make a machine is a monopoly, ami the
government says that after a time the right
to make that machine shall be free to all.
The right to make a hook is a monopoly,
and the government makes copyright laws;
but presently that right becomes free to all,
such is the prejudice against monopolies.
A man has no monopoly of the product
of his own brain. Tlie interest on intellect
ceases in a few years; the interest on money
never ceases. The right to make money iV
a xnecial privilege, swallowing all others,
ami should belong to all the people, to the
nation.”
“You would give this power to congress?*
“Congress ha* always liad it. If the (tower
rer money does not rest with congress, it
rests nowhere, and this is almost the lan
guage of the supreme court.”
“Wouldn’t your government money be
rather unstable in value?’
“Make it a full promise to receive by tlie
government, with rational limits upon its
»lume, and no liohlcr of a greenback note

AH laws :ire silent amid arms. In time

and ajl property melt away,”
At this point the Post said to Mr. S|»ear t
Who is going to be the next governor of
Ohio?’ and that able editor remarked, with
great vehemence, “Never mind that now; I

FLOWER*.
Ol 1 Iznak Walton was doubtless good au
thority on all subjects pertaining to fish,
but we cannot subscribe to his sentiment
that “flowers are too pleasant to be looked
on except on holidays." We know nothing
more cheerful or attractive about the coun
try home than flowers, ami why not have
and look upon their refining lovelini
the year 'round? To be looked upon on
holidays alone? What nonsense. Whether
worn in the hair, worn on the garment*,
decking the brow of the bride, or sprinkled
over the grave, what is there sweeter, pret
tier or more refining? Flowers require some
trouble and care, yet their cultivation fully
repays the trouble. It is a regret in going
into the country to see so few flowers culti
vated; what a pleasant occupation to the
family to look after them; how gteatly they
would add to the beauty of the country
home, causing it to be a more desirable
place to live.
FARMERS’ HOMES.
If farmers would take pains and care, and
bestow labor on their farms, like some j*eo-
ple do their homes in Atlanta, liow much
more profitable would they find it, how
nuu‘h happier would they be; then, too,
tlieir sons and daughters would he better
satisfied in the country. Why not give vour
farm the very best cultivation? Why be
satisfied with inferior work? Why use
worthless tools, or let everything naive
along in a slovenly manner? It is very gen
erally the case that if a light crop is raised,
ami that on a non-paying hasis, the farmer
is to blame. If his lots and fields present a
disorderly apficarance, he alone is responsi
ble. If his house and yard are neglected, if
his fencing is out of fix. if mud ami tilth
surround hi* out-buildings, the fault is liis.
There are many farmers in Georgia whose
fields are specimens of neatness, whose cat
tle and hogs and mules look sleek and well
cared for, whose houses have shade trees
about them , and the yards around them are
jomnied with flower-beds. Yet how many
such places are there? Farms should lie
carried on not only on a paying basis, hut
should also be made pleasant and attractive.
This would elevate the business. Domestic
influences would make tlie farmers’ sons
and daughters satisfied with home, and the

the chufa for fifteen yean, and says that
it is the very thing for farmers who desire
to raise their own meat. The chufa does
not Injure land, can be eradicated when de
sired, and will grow upon the poorest soil.
STOCK.
# A farmer remarked to us a day or two
since that the weather had been so very
cold liis horses, cows and hogs were not
doing well. Looking into the matter, we
found that he was perhaps more to blame
than the stock, for he had started them out
badly prepared for cold weather. He keeps
his riding horse—this animal has a good
stable, is well-fed and attended to—entered
the winter in good flesh, conse
quently is “doing well." and every
day continues to improve. The other
horses, stock-hogs and cattle were
in a weak condition and low in flesh early
in the winter, consequently are not doing
well. The poor cow that droops and shivers
in the fence comers doubtless casts an
envious eye at the fat and hearty one who
tosses her head and flies around in the
exuberance of strength bidding defiance to
our unusually cold mornings. If stock are
expected to do well, and be protected from
chilly weather and piercing storms, they
must have health and fat as well as gooll
shelters and a sufficiency of good food and
water.
SHEEP.
We have two or three letters asking in-
formatien about sheep.
The back numbers of The Constitution
contain articles which pretty much answer
the questions asked.
Sheep are unquestionably an inqiortant
adjunct of farm economy. There is no ani
mal on the farm that excels them in distrih-
ut ingan excellent fertilizing material. They
more than pay expenses in enriching the
land. There is no healthier or better'food
than good mutton; at the same time it i
cheaper meat than pork. Get good com tuoi
ewes, grade them, keep an eye on them, giv.
them shade, shelter, water and pasture, and
it will pay the farmer to keep them. Wool
is a staple article—stands side by side with
cotton, sugar, tobacco, coni and wheat. It
will sell anywhere, and at any month in the
year. There is no great trouble or care or ex
pense in sheep culture, while at the
time it is an important diversity of fa
products.
Regret that it is so.

spread up the Volga river, in southeastern
Russia, of an extremely fatal disease be
lieved to be the (Hague. It is thought to
have been brought to Russia by two regi
ments of Cossacks returning from the war
in Turkey. The disease was regarded at
first as a variety of typhus fever and neg
lected, but its terrible mortality soon
compelled the local authorities to take
steps for its restriction. Rigid quarantine
was enforced against Astrakan, where it
originated, but the panic stricken inhabi
tants of that city fled in all direc ions, and
scattered the germs of tlie infliction over the
prov i nces of Samara and Saratap, lyi ng along
the river Volga, liiger up. In spite of all
efforts at restriction it soon reached Tsar-
itzin, an important trading town ou the
Volga, coimected by rail with the whole
of Russia and eastern Europe, and finally
upi>eared in Xishni, and Novgorod, only
hours distant from Moa-

Tbe National Complaint.
Dysjiepsia is tiie national complaint. Al
most every other man or woman you meet
has it. anu the result is that the number of
pseudo-remedies for it is as numerous as
'haraoh’s host. They are for tlie most |»art
worthless. There is, however, a searching
eradicant of this distressing and obdurate
malady, one whose genuine merits long
since raised it to a foremast place among the
staple medicines of America. Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia with
greater certainty and promptitude than any
known remedy, and is a most genial itivig-
orant, appetizer and aid to secretion. These
are not empty assertions, a* thousands of
our countiymen and women who have ex-
jierieiiced its effects are aware, but are back
ed up by irrefragable pr**>fs reputedly laid
before the public. The Bitters also promote
a regular habit of body and give a healthful
stimulus to the urinary organs.

Oinsuinptioii, Asthma, Pneumonia, Croup,
Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases may
set in. Although it is true German Syrup
is curing thousands of these dreaded dis-
ciwes. yet it is much better to have itat hand
when threedoses will cure you. One Bottle
will last your whole fatnilv a winter and
keep you safe from danger. If you are con
sumptive do not rest until you have tried this
remedy. Sample Bottles 10 cento. Regular

Stop spending so much on fine clothes,
rich food and style. Bay good, healthy
food, cheaper and better clothing; get more
real and substantial things of life every way
and especially stop the foolish habit of run
ning after expensive and quack doctors o
using 90 much of the vile humbug medicine
that does you only liartn, and makes the
proprietors rich, but put your trust in the
greatest of all simple, pure remedies. Hop
Hitter*, that cures always at a trifling cost,
and vou will see better times and good
health. Try it once. Head of it in another
