Washington, June 3.—Charles H. Reeil has not given ua hope of saving Guiteau, and is hard at work. He came back from the cast Sunday, and lias gone through over fifty law hooks this week. Jle has hod a stenographer at work making excerpts and references, di viding bis time between the supreme court library and the department of justice. He desires a correction to be made in the record of the trial, and will appear before the court in banc to make the motion within a few days. He lias been wailing for the return of the attorney general for some day*. He wishes to receive an opinion from him on some points before he makes the next move, which will probably be the application to one of the judges of the supreme court, in cham bers, for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus, returnable to the full bench. Mr. Reed today told your correspondent that the report to the effect that he went to Boston and made such an application to Judge Gray was not true, that up to this time lie had made no application to any justice for a writ. He saw Judge Gray in Boston, and he had observed by the papers that the judge had declined to make any statement as to the purjiort of the interview. That was in accordance with their understanding, and lie should not violate it. He would aim- j>ly say tlint the report that he had applied for a writ of balieas corpus was not true, and •lie gave your correspondent leave to announce the fact on his authority. Mr. Reed seems to be very full of life, and seems to be confident that be will nstonish the prosecution by a move he will make early next week at the latest. He says he is all ready now, liis pupers being complete for the purpose he has in view. He does not say whut ttiis purpose is, but it is pretty well understood to be as indi cated above. THE GEORGIA JlTKJXSIlir. While the president is on his frolic in New York nothing new in the way of appoint ments will transpire. Before lie left it was thought lie would send in the nomination of a judge for the new Georgia district court. Atkins'- friends are not confident any longer. James is not so serene himself. Mr. JT'nuip, of Rome, is talked of now and then. Judge Rigby, while not. an applicant, stands by in a '‘willing” attitude. George Thomas and Judge Cunningham have friends actively at tending to tliuir interests all the while. Judge MeCay s chances are better than ever. If re quired to naino the coming judge I would . take my pool on him. I am confident the influence of the depart ment of justice will be in his favor. Arthur takes his time about all his appointments. Several days ago I telegraphed that Mr. Han son, of Macon, was looked upon as a probable member of the tariff commission. It is now known that Oh^snut, of South Carolina, will be appointed, and this disposes of the proba bilities of Governor Bullock or Mr. Hanson,' if not ad all other southern applicants, of whom There is a regiment. Mr. Cliesnut is a liberal low tariff ninn almost on the free trade line. The commission is sure, however, to be found to suit New England, and I wonld not be injured if Arthur had some hints given him in New York. A VIOLENT HARANGUE. Losnox, June <Br-nan, the secretary of the land league, after his release from prison yesterday, addressed a large assemblage in Kilkenny, lie said his real jailers were Gladstone, Mr. Bright, Chamberlin and the whole crowd of pseudo humanitarians and renegade republicans who composed the British, cabinet. He hoped if the eight hundred subjects were called upon for real sacrifices they would be ready, if necessary, to die for their country. They had seen the government acknowledge Michael Davitt as ,a conqueror. Much re mained to bo done. They must tear up the very roots of landlordism. The Irish resi dents of Liverpool are arranging a demon stration in honor of Davitt to take place on ‘Tuesday next. Davitt and Dillon will sail for New York on the steamer Germanic. THE »SAI> GARIBALDI. Mappai.kna, June 3.—During the attack of bronchitis, to which Garibuldi succumbed, he several times inquired if the steamer con veying Dr. Albanesi to Caprera, had been sighted, and on being answered in the nega tive he seemed disturbed. He also asked for the news of his son Mantio, and shortly after ward quietly expired, liis features appearing os in sleep. The dealli chamber is arranged as a mortuary chapel. The body of the de ceased general is dressed in a white poncho and the embroidered cap he habitually wore. A body of mariners is posted in the chamber as a guard of honor, liis will orders that his body be cremated and the as lies preserved in a porphyry urn near the tomb of his dead child at Caprera. The will is dated September 17,1881, and entrusts the execution of his wishes to his wife. Dr. Albanesi arrived only this morning, the steamer having been de layed owing to a dense fog. SWING FROM A SYCAMORE. Cincinnati, June3.—Tue Times Star special from Cattletsburg. Kentucky, says that a masked mob at three o’clock this morning came by rail from Ashland, and took George Ellis out of jail at Cattletsburg. conveying him to Ashland, near the scene of the mur der and outrage of the Gibbon's girls last De cember, and hanged him to a sycamore tree. George Ellis was convicted of manslaughter yesterday on an indictment for the murder of these girls. It was his testimony that con victed m Neal and Ellis Croft, who are now in jail in Lexington, Kentucky. LVNCHl.su OF CAMPBELL IN CAROLINA. Charleston, June 3:—A special to the News and Courier says: A colored man named Cobb Campbell, who had been fully identified as having attempted a criminal assault on Mrs. Martha Rains, on Wednesday, May 24. near Blythewood, in Fairfield county, was taken from jail at Winnsboro last night by a party of disguised men and hanged about three miles from there. Campbell had been taken to Winnsboro for safe-keeping. Admit tance to the jail was obtained by strategem; and the sheriff was overpowered. He made pursuit as he got loose, but readied the scene of the lynching too late. SEVERAL KILLED ASI> INJCRETE Orange C. II., Va., June 2.—The boiler of the Edward Dickerson’s saw mill, atBuckers- vilie, Va., exploded yesterday, instantly kill ing Young Davis, the engineer. James Car penter, colored, was fatally injured and died in a few hours. John Garrell, a one-armed man, had liis remaining arm broken, and will probably lose it by amputation. Several other employes were injured, but escaped death. A RAILROAD WRECK. Keokuk, Iowa, June 2.—The passenger train on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad struck a broken rail near Fredericks- •ville, yesterday, overturning three coaches and causing a general wreck.

Thomas Connelly, 18 years of age, bad his skull fractured and was fatally injured. ?THE EDUCATIONAL FUND. 8enator Brown presented to-day the memo rial of the Georgia legislature in favor of a national educational fund. This is one of the senator’s pet schemes. He realizes the hard chances for it this session but will not relax his efforts. He has done excellent service in a good cause this week by bis. course on the Creek orphan claim. It promis*“sto pass after hisclear and unanswered speech bn it ABOUT MR. HILL. Senator Hill is talked of very much to-day because of the good news from him. The generous letter of Senator Hoar, speaks the universal sentiment here. Anxious inquiries are made every day of persons sapposed to hear first the reliable news from the illustri ous patient. Julius Burrows, of Michigan, is a bitter partisan bat he said yesterday, why couldn’t that cancer have come on —’s tongue (naming a notorious bore in the house) instead of attacking the most eloquent tongue in the union?” CAROLINA rOLtTICM. There is talk of putting Wade Hampion back into the gubernatorial chair of South Carolina. He is tired of the Senate, and would enjoy the ease of this honor.' No man is in the lead as an active candidate for gov ernor of the Palmetto state. Haygood will take it up if it is pressed on him. Congress man Tillman is strong. He is not actively a candidate but lie is a man of fine sense and indisputable integrity. Senator Butler will have no opposition in the next legislature, and will build a house to live his second sen atorial term in. PERSONAL POINTS. Mr. Stephens has so much work now that lie has two secretaries. Mr. Baldwin, of Mad ison, is kept busy attending to the proof sheets of the history, and Mr. McNamara, of Wash ington, to the correspondence. Judge Underwood was on the floor of the house to-day for the first time since he left to cast his lot with secession. As he walked in yesterday the speaker ordered the morning prayer, and General Cook said, ‘‘He sees you judge.” To-day Mr. Stephens dined the judge and had several other Georgia gentlemen pre sent. It was a feast of material and spiritual good things. THE ILLNESS OF MARIO. Special Dispatch to The Constitution.

We were picking the cuckie burrs out of the wool this evening and as the children were settin around I noticed that their hilar ity sorter weakened as they pursued this new and monotonous business. By and by little Jessie began to nod and I picked up the little thing and laid her on the bed. Before long Carl’s fingers seemed to get tender and ever and anon he would exclaim “Oh! shucks,”'as a mean old burr would stick in his sore fing* r. One of the girls wanted to know if the wool factories didn’t have machinery to take o-:t the burrs. “Yes, my dear,” said I, “buj: when they buy a lot of wool all baled up thi y don't know how many burrs and how much dirt is in it, and so they won’t give you but P reac ber was coming; eggs were 1 'scarce, and only a few dozen could be had. 18 cents a pound for it just as it come off the The lady was flying around in a great linrry pound for it just sheep, but if it has been washed and picked they will give you $2 cents—so we must p ! ck it. If I had known what I know now I wouident have troubled you, for it don’t pay to wash and pick it.” This little lot of wool weighed, before washing 80 pounds and now it weighs only 45. A sheep carries as nearly much dirt and oil in his fleece as he Aloes wool. But this is only a little job com pared with what your grandmother used to do. N ight after night she hud to pick the seed from the cotton, for there were no cotton gins when she was a child. “Goodness gracious.” said one of the girls, “ain’t 1 glad 1 wasen’t a child then.” ‘‘Oh, it was ail right, my children,” said I, for you see the girLs didn’t have any novels and literary trash to read them, and so they never considered it a hardship to set around tiie fire after supper and pick cotton and ic'l stories of their own, bat now the girls haver, t time for such things, for these novels have got to be read if it takes all night to do it. X young lady is not considered educated for society unless she can show a familiarity with every lovesick romance anil every wild, extravagant, unnatural story that comes out. They must be ready to criticise, and talk rapsodies and expatiate over the plot' and the hero and heroine, even if they have to sleep till after breakfast to make up for the time lust the night before in perusing such tom-fooleries, i overheard one girl ask an other girl the other day if she hail read Mr. Burnet’s last lie, nnd she said, “Oh, yes, of course, and I’m reading a splendid tissue of falsehood now by a German, and published by George Munioe. It is the second wife anft oh! it is perfectly lovely.” Jesso. And here she goes and there she goes, one after another story or lie, or whatever you call em, is dfr voured day after day ana night after night by the modern female novel gor mandizer withoutany regard to consequences, whether moral or immoral, whether coarse or refined, until the mind becomes diseased and morbid, and craves that sort of food and no other, just like a child eating green apples and chalk, and slate pencils, and chewing gum, and pickle and pie, until they don t take it but then she was afraid it would hurt the poor woman’s feelings to send it back, and so she kept it. though she said she knew them children had nothing to eat but bread and skim milk. Poverty is a hard thing unless a man is used to it, but there are worse things in the homes of the rich sometimes. I wouldn’t give a cent for a big pile of money if I had to take the usual purquisites with it, such as pride and vanity and poor health and a sickly wife and bad children and a big run oi company all the time. I reckon the good Lord lias made all things about right, and the poor man can he as happy as the rich one if he wants to. Bill Arp. . The Exploits of a Pet Hen. From the Marion County, Ga., Argus. One of our Marion countv lady friends had tv pet hen winch felt quite at home anywhere in the house. Quarterly meeting was close at getting ready to cook up the cake arid othe'r nice things, while the pet lien was poking around in the house hunting for a suitable place to make for herself a nest; she decided that the wash bowl, sitting on the water-shelf was the very place, but before she could be suitably nestled the bowl fell to the floor and broke into a thousand pieces. This vexed our lady friend a little but she kept her temper like a Christian, and went on about Ler work. It wasn’t long be fore that hen had tumbled from the table to the floor a whole set of plates. This would have been a sore trial to patient old Job but the lady went on with her work humming “Sweet By and By,” to keep up spirits. Now the new spring hat sat on the center table in one of the rooms where some of the lady neighbors who had dropped in to see it had left it, and it was on tiie band-box the lady bad in her hurry set a pan with five dozen eggs (all that she bad to make cake for the preachers) and hurried out to the stove room. The pet hen came piroutiug aronnu in the room and right into the pan of eggs she nestled, and of course the bandbox, pari and eggs all tumbled to the floor. Tnere was a general mixture—that is tiie eggs and the hat became one and the same. When the lady, attracted by the noise, got to the door and saw the condition of tilings, she was mad. good mad, very mad. She could afford for the washbowl and new plates to be broken, but for all the eggs she had to go into the cake to be broken, and the new hat everlastingly ruined, was too much for her Christian resig- tion, and in the language of “Uncle” Steve Pearson, when the hogs turned over his syr up, she wanted to turn over the house. This lady weighs considerably over a hundred, and the day was warm, but she rail tiiat lieu down and mentally vowed that tiie preachers should eat her. For safe keeping tiie hen was put in a strong coop. In an hour that hen was found in the wood-box, sitting in the corner of the loom, and there was found two eggs. This is a fact, and he who doubts it must consult our fighting editor. The Otter Splash. From the Butler Herald. On Saturday evening last at Windham’s mill, in Taylor county H between sunset and dark, the writer, having shut down the water- gate which stopped the mill from grinding, heard a splashing noise iu the water near the edge of the pond, amidst the bushes and briers, whiclt rendered it impossible to get a fair view of the object. I discovered, how ever, that it was rapidly going in the direction of the waste-way. After some little delay, I observed there were three otters near the waste-way endeavoring to cross the gate. Not having my gun, and being at the same time about one hundred yards distant, I immedi ately secured a large club and ran to the spot. There being no water running over the waste way at tiie time, I succeeded in killing one otter, crippling another, and the third having made his escape. There are a great many otters in this pond, and we would be glad if some one who understood catching them in traps would come down and give them atrial. want biscuit and butter any more. ThrrqjS too much literature now-a-'-iys, "nd it’s - A sign of good times that this sort of trash .ls'Sd cheap. I wish it was so high that poor folks couldn’t buy it. Some novels are instructive and historical, or give you a good idea of life as it is or likely to be, but most of ’em are written to make a sensation and excite the passions, and they unfit a girl for the duties of life, and iicr home seems mighty common, and she louDges around wondering and wait ing for some big thing to happen that ain’t a going to happen, and if it did happen wouid ent make her and happier. 1’ 11 tell you whut is a fact, the girls who look away off yonder for happiness are like the boy who tried to find the end of a rainbow every time he saw one so as to get a bag of money. The surest place X know of is rigtit at home in the family cir cle and while doing a reasonable portion of domestic work. X wouldeu’t work all the time by no means unless X was obliged to, but X would mix up some trolic and music and read some standard books and magazines and newspapers, but 1 would make home the big thing, and stand up for it, and talk for it, lor the poet never wrote a truer thing than when he said, "There’s no place like home.” THE YOUNG MAN LOOKING ABROAD. When a young man’s mind goes to roaming and foraging around and he dreams of Texas or California or the silver miues in Mexico, he is in a bad condition, and reminds me of these office-seekers who are always a waiting and a longing and a scheming to get an office, if they would undertake some regular business and work as hard to make it pay as triey do to get office,they would soon be comfoitable and a heap happier. Ihe young men nowadays are too restless and too atuuitious. They want to get rich or famous all of a sudden. Triey don’t want to knuckle down to hard work or humble work. Tney have too great a horror of being poor. If it wasent lor (ear of the law some of em would steal rather than be poor, and some of em do it anyhow. Says I, “Cobe, you are a mighty poor mau; now, 1 want to know if you are happy.” “Squire,” says he, “I’m a leetle too dogon poor to be happy—just a leetle—but I ain’t to say on- happy or miserable. My old oman has got six mighty fine little cliildern, ef I do say it, and I’d like to fix em up sorter decent like, so » they could go to meetin, and about and about, you know, but I’ve had to rent land eversiuce the war broke up, and I’ve had to run it in cotton, and its been nip and tuck all the time, and a little more nip than tuck, and last year the drout busted me clean open, and I couldn’t get any more credit, ana if we didn’t like to perish t j death, in the name of the Lord, this fast winter, 1 wish X may be hung on Hatuan’s gallus—wet’id t .oe." “How wucu money would it take to make you happy, Cobe?” “Welt, squire, I don’t know; I raily don’t, but I reckon as how a hundred dollars would be as much as we could manage, for we don’t need much of anything now. The suin- mer has come aud we’ve got a good chunk of a cow aud a tolable garding, and there is plenty of berries about, and the children won’t need any shoes till frost, and my crop is purty good, and we’ve never suffered for bread as yet, though we’ve quit eatin’meat since Christmas, tor it didn’t agree with us leastways we made out like it dident, for we couldeut gicany. But squire 1 was a thinking what I’d do with as much as a hundred dol lars, and I don’t know hardly, but the old ’oman would know I reckon, for X never seed one that dident, but then I’d like to get Will a par of shoes and Molly a calico ana a town doll, for Molly never had a town doll. But the old ’oman she’s got sense and she’d know what to do with it. I’d be sorter feerd to risk it ail by myself.” Jesso. And Cobe smiled, and Cobe is hap pier than Vanderbilt, aud Cobe’s wiie thiuas he is just the best man in the world, and she wouident swap him off for nobody, though they do say he is the ugliest man in the county.

Western railroad to-night, was run over and instantly killed by the cars. The engineer blew his whistle, which was evidently not heard by ihe lady. New York, June 2.—The failures reported to New York forseveu days amount to 1S5 against 126 last week, and 121 the week previous. Ihe increase is in the west aud south principally. Sew York City is siili remarkably free from business disasters. The geographical distribution of failures is as follows: Eastern states 14. western 42, middle 27, southern 39, Pacific states and territories 11.

A Wife Murderer Caught. From the Newman Herald. Mr. R. G. Hackney, of Rome, brought to Newnan last Sunday a negro man who is sup posed to be Newt. Page, the wife murderer. There seems to be some doubt as to his iden tity, since there is is a difference of opinion among those who knew the real culprit as to whether or not the prisoner is he. It will be remembered that nearly two years ago Newt. Page murdered his wife in Newnan and lied from justice. A reward of one hundred dollars was offered for his arrest witii sufficient evidence to convict. Sometime afterwards an arrest was made, but upon investigation it was unsupported by the testimony and the pris oner discharged. In this case the impression in the community sterns to be strong that the right man has been caught. On Tuesday he sued out a writ of habeas corpus, through his attorneys, Atkinson «fc Whatley. The case being brought before Judge Powell, the com mittal trial was set for next Tuesday morning at ten o’clock. Another Prisoner. From the Swainesboro Herald. Bishop’s store house, in the 57th district, was broken open last Tuesday night by two colored men, John Green and John Brown. They succeeded in getting twenty-five dollars in cash and about the same amount in goods. Green was captured and tried before Justice Walea last Friday and committed to jail to await his trial at the October term of Emanuel superior court. John Brown is still at large and a reward of twenty-five dollars is offered for him. Fannie Chambers was also com mitted for concealing the goods, but was given until Saturday to give bond, which we sup pose she did, as she has not been confined. The jail now has two occupants, one of whom will probably “swing” and the other do free labor for the state. Death From the Cooling Draught. From the Newnan Herald. Dock Woods, a negro man who works on Mr. J. A. Kranard’s farm near Newnan. died very suddenly last Tuesday. The hands had been busy cutting wheat, and Dock went to the spring near by for a bucket of cool water. It is supposed that while overheated he drank freely of the water, and in consequence was seized with congestion of the bowels, which proved fatal. After an absence of half an hour some one went to see why he did not return, when he was found on the way breath ing his last. Dr. Reese was called, but the mar. was dead long before he could reach the spot. A Good Example. From the Hinesiille oazeue. A colored man a few miles below the rail road last Saturday carried his second ship ment of Irish potatoes to market, consisting of five barrels. He had some weeks before sent off nine barrels. Potatoes are bringing a good price, and he will realize handsome profits. This is a good example, which we hope others will imitate. New'Hayen, June 3.—The postponement of the trial of the AJalleys and Blanche Douglass until the 13th, on account of the illness of one of the jurors, brings up a queer complication. As the sick juror is 76 years of age, and is suf fering from what in its nature must prove a fatal illness, it is certain that when the 13th comes, either the trial must take place with out him, or be again postponed. Under the law when a juror is debarred from the hear ing of the case by reason of illness or death, the judge may discharge the j ury and order a new trial, unless both sides agree to proceed before tiie eleven remaining jurors. This con sent cannot be obtained in this case,however, as the state is satisfied that it has failed in its effort. The defendants, having a good case from their standpoint, would be willing to proceed with the trial. So it is reasonably certain that ihe present will be declared a j “mistrial,” and a new trial will be entered j upon, in which the state will endeavor to es tablish a better case. From the New Haven Register. The late Jacob Cramer—as honest a man as ; ever lived—from the day of the death of bis dear daughter, Jennie, until, broken-hearted, his own sad life was ended, firmly believed that his daughter Jcnniejrilled herself. Griev ing over not only her death, but other things which had long troubled his mind and ini- paired his health, he steadily declined in strength after the memorable Cth of August, when he saw his child bereft Of life. When, on the morning of the 21st of last December, the friends and neighbors of the unfortunate family entered his dwellingthev were told by Mrs. Cramer how he died. Mrs. Crainer also told the neighbors and friends the cause as well as manner of her husband’s death. Her explanation was deemed sufficient, inasmuch ns Dr. Lindsley said there was no doubt on the subject and it was decided that there should be no inquest. In view of all that has been said and done since the death of Jennie E. Cramer, it will perhaps be questioned wheth er some official inquiry into the cause of Mr. Cramer's death would not have been judi cious. Did Mr. Cramer die from natural causes? Mrs. Cramer thought he died from broken heart, on account of Jennie being murdered. That was what she said, and vet a near personal friend of Mr.Cramer says that lie did not believe Jennie was murdered. He thought she committed suicide. After Mr. Cramer died the question came up in an in formal way whether he died by an act of sui cide or in some other way. As there was no proper inquisition, Mrs. Cramer’s theory' that he died from worry over Jennie’s murder, and Dr. Lindsley’s, that he died from a long course of sickness, answered the purposes of the friends and neigh bors, and Mr. Cramer was buried. As a fact nothing was actually revealed as to the cause of death. The Cramer family ap pear to have had some rather indecisive ideas about drugs and their use and the dangers of improper administration of them. For in stance: A prescription is written off for them by a horse car conductor, in which laudanum is an ingredient, and it was bought and used. What else he used, he and Mrs. Cramer and the prescribing friends alone could know. That arsenic is used to benefit tiie breathing of people is put down in the medical books as a verity, and Fowler's solution is tiie form in which arsenic is used as medicine. If it was so used by Mr. Cramer, he knew that he must not take an overdose, and if he should he would die. Let us see what Mr. Cramer, who. Dr. Lindsley says, died from natural causes and after a prolonged illness, did the very day before his deatii. A CALL ON MB. GILDEA. In company with a friend he called at the place of John R. Gildea, on Congress avenue, and had a talk. Mr. Gildea had often ad vanced him monc.v and bought cigars from him. often when it was not perhaps for his business advantage, but because he knew Mr. Cramer to be an honest man and in mental trouble. After speaking of his sorrows, he told Mr. Gildea that he had called to take a final farewell of him. Mr. Gildea was so af fected by the incident that his eyes filled with tears, and the gentleman who has since bought out the Gildea place was similarly affected. We cannot tell what Mr. Cramer told Mr. Gildea. Whatever secrets of h.s business or family trouble that he revealed to his trusted hearer, the public have never heard. Mr. Gildea was told by Mr. Cramer that he would see him no more on earth. To others and for weeks before this, the unhappy man had foreboded his death. The very day before his death Mr. Cramer said to his wife: “I shall die some day when you don’t expect it.” Ominous words, indeed! For days before he died he had the day of his dissolution apparently fixed in his mind. Only the Sunday before the Tuesday, when his wife entered his room (which she did not occupy with him for reasons whsch existed among themselves and found her husband still warm, but without life), he said to little Minnie Cramer: “I shall soon be dead.” A few words about. Mr. Gildea. He had done Mr. Cramer a number of favors from time to time. Mr. Cramer often spoke of how hard it was to get along. He longed for a time to come, when lie could own his property on which he had paid a good deal of money. The property was mortgaged and his interest and insurance were a burden to him. Mr. Gildea showed him. however, that his insurance tax of about $30 could be reduced to about $18 and at Mr. Cramer’s re quest, Mr. Gildea put the matter in good shape and the insurance was afterward fixed according to the suggestion made. When Air. Cramer was despondent he talked with his friend Gildea. Burdened as he was with obligations hard to meet, he did not like to see his daughter growing up, flighty and with extravagant habits. • THE INDISCEEET WIFE. He was not content with his wife’s manage ment altogether aud nobody can say just what was in his mind, that made him so despondent that for days before his deatii he commenced to notify those in whom he felt an interest, of the awful stillness and rest to which he was hastening. There is a bit of matter on record that should be read with eyes of intelligence. Mrs. Cramer said tlia a! 5 o’clock on the morning of her husband's death, she heard him (in her room) breathe with difficulty and make inarticulate sounds, as though he might have, been struggling with a nightmare. It was the nightmare which preceded death—that awful struggle when the priricipleof life forsakes the live hundred wonderful muscles aud buiies of the body, and tho banshee beckons at the window. Tlriswas at 5 o’clock. At 7 o’c.oek Mrs. Cramer went into the room and the man was dead. From the time of iiie nightmare until 7 o'clock, the | wife Lad slept. On a table iu tiie kitchen, i written on a piece of paper, that he had 1 passed Che door oi hb wife’s room to get, was written in German the following. It told of despondency too deep for earthly sympathy: Dear Wife: To-morrow morning, if you nnd me dead, don’t be discouraged. It is the best forme. Give my love to Eddie and Minnie, Pray let me be buried by Mr. Stahl, Don’t let mv fu neral expenses exceed $50. Send io Dr. Undslev and have him to make out a certificate of death". 1 hope 1 shall soon be relieved from my suffering. Your loving husband, Jacob Cramer. J*. S.—I shall rest in peace by my children. Tell Eddie to be a man and take care of his mother, in* question why. There are some extraordinary things in this letter. “I shall rest in peace by my chil dren." It> peace, let us hope, but as things have been done, certainly not by hb chil dren. The request to Dr. Lindsley, to make out his death certificate has a singular pre meditation about it, that must attraefc atten tion. A question naturally arises: “Was Mr. Cramer of o suicidal temperament?' Was there handy in the house a bottle of Some thing with Fowler’s solution as a constitu ent? If this waea fact, did not Jennie know of such a thing? She bought her father’s medicineand bought at drug stores whatever she thought best. It is thought very prob able that. Fowler’s solution may have been, prescribed for Mr. Cramer, either by a doc tor or someone else. If it was used by him,, it was as much within reach of Jennie as him self. _ What went covin the Cramer house at the time her father had reproached her for staying out nights> r aud her mother had threatened her that she was was in danger of losing her hoaac, must be left for those to tell who can. Mrs. Cramer has told, but has she iold it all? Did she know it all? If Mr. Cramer was so despondent that he thougiit it might be be better if he were dead, might it not have occurred to Jennie that she, too, might as well be dead? Might not the thought have been communicated from one to the other and reacted upon both—the Fowler's solution being the instrument by which the sorrows of both were to be made lightsome by death? We Believe It All, From the Montezuma. Weekly. Mr. Jones, living near Reynolds, writes us that he has a sow with twelve pigs, all white as snow, not a single spot being on any of them. A lady near Garden Valley has been insane for ten years. She died on Sunday and, strange to say, became perfectly rational a few days before her deatii, A negro woman gave birth to three children last week, and their combined weights amounted to nineteen and a half pounds. A white married woman, near town, to her utter consternation aud surprise, gave birth to a fine healthy child, a few days ago, not knowing herself to be pregnant She thought she was afflicted with the dropsy and was so treated. She has since died. Mr. J. B. Murray, at Carden Valley, hoed up a pistol that was stolen by a negro and buried in the woods over ten years ago. The woods had become a cotton patch. The news comes to us from Dooly of a new born child having a well defined horse on its arm. A turtle with six feet was a curiosity shown us last week. A Schley county man tells us that he has a negro on his place with twelve toes. Thomasville Epitaphs. From the Macon, Ga,, Telegraph. May 21.—While wandering in a cemetery lately I saw the two following epitaphs, the first engraved on the tombstone of a man who died leaving between fifteen’and twenty thousand dollars, and the other on his son’s: Behold ya stranlgerqs parsing by aa you are now so onse was I as 1 am now so you must be prepare for death and follow me. Though eart ns farest blossoms die and all beneath the skies is vain, their is a bright er world on high beyond the reach of care and pain. Little Della’s Death. From the Hinesville Gazette. On Thursday, May 11th, 1882, Mr. James Swindle, of Berrien county, with his wife and two little girls was in the field. Mr. Swindle saw a heavy cloud rising and told his wife she had better start home. She started with the two little girls, Mr. Swindle following thirty feet behind, when there came a heavy clap of thunder, accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning. The bolt struck Della, the oldest of tiie two little girls, who had just entered her thirteenth year. Her hair was burned to a crisp and her breast and neck blistered. She fell to the ground and never moved or breathed again. Death Among the Chickens. From the Montezuma Weekly. A lady, near town, in the early spring, be gan to take a pride in raising chickens. The awks became very troublesome and she was persuaded to feed tiie chickens on nox-vomit. She began to do so, and out of two hundred hatched, she lias not been able to raise one. When about a week old they droop and die without any apparent cause, which leads us to think that the poison was impregnated into the fowls, thence into the eggs and the younger chickens, causing their death. We would not recommend the method of getting rid of hawks. Mamie's Bed Quilt. From the Irwiulon southerner. Little Mamie Brewer, aged seven, daughter of Mr. D. Brewer, Jr., of Gordon, recently pieced, put together and quilted two bed quilts, completing theentire job with herown little hands, unaided by the help of any one. This is certainly a remarkable achievement for one so young, and we doubt if there are many young ladies of thribble her years can take as much credit to themselves. Mr. and Mrs. B. feel an honest pride in possessing such a bright little jewel, and we don’t blame them. The Hidden Hand. From the Sumter Republican. Ou last Tuesday a fisherman, whose name we withhold, and who lives near Danville on the Flint, went to run his nets; on hauling up one of them discovered entangled in it a human hand, in shape and form similar to that of a woman’s, and containing two gold rings. It scared him so had that he dropped the net, aud would not venture to it again until he secured another fisherman to go with him. When the net was again liauicd up, there was not the sign of a hand to be seen. Miss Annie's Bird. From the Newnan Herald. Miss Annie Hornady’s grief at the death of her canary bird has been, in a measure, miti gated by the sweet songs of another bird, said to have been presented by Air. C. H. Arnold. This, however, is not an established fact, as R. M. Holly is known to be quite a bird fancier. Lawrenccville Nuptials. From the Gwinnett Herald. Married—At the residence of J.
