Interesting Reminiscences.
here is an outfit where the job can lie
done.” Mr. Un.-oln demurred. He was
not posing for portraits in thoso days. But
his friend urged him more. Charley Frost,
an Itinerant art is,, had come to town with
. his outfit, a sort of a box affair mounted
1 upon a wagon truck. After some further
urging Mr. Uncoin consented to have his
portrait taken. Hi was obliged to stoop
perceptibly m order to get igto the ■■gal
lery.” Mr. Frost "did the job’’ quickly,
and the r. suit was an old-fashioned ainb. r
type. that duly reposing upon a velvet
b- i in a small black morocco frame with
gill clasps, was presented to Miss Mary
A. K. Synifwon. later Mrs. J. B.
and re-- ntl.v deceased, as a souvenir. V
Mered souvenir it Is. and attempts to ob

Fully ten thousand people heard Mr.
Uncoin’a Carthage speech, but so far as
can lie ascertained no stenographic report
of It was ever taken and if taken, will
probably never pr<s* rved.
A nuuilier of marching clubs formed the
• crowd that heard Mr. Uticuin at Carthage.
An eye-witness to the events of that day
says that Carthage was thin a small vil
lage and was without the shelter of trees.
Vast prairies sw-pt the place on all side*
From three direction- there came march
ing clubs across the prairies, and they re
sembled three huge serpents crawling
along. These processions passed In re

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 19. 1895.
Blandinsville had rented his farm and the
agreement waa that the owner was to sto< 1c
tho farm and share the profits with Hie
renter. Both thu owner and the renter of
the farm attended a sale of cattle, and
the rent< r bought stock to a large amount
in value. He gave no note and paid no
money, but tho owner of tho farm said
that ho would stand good for the renter.
The renter, however. In time, ran away
without paying for the cuttie. and the
owner of thu stock employed Captain Hume
to as-ist him in seenrint his money for the
cuttle from the owner of the farm. Captain
Humo thought he had a good ease, yet he
decided to consult Mr. Lincoln, whom ho
, had never met.
At Springli '’d he found lion. l>. 11. Brown
ing. whom lie did know, in the supreme
courtroom, in company with a iiuml- r of
other nttorreys, among them Mr. Lincoln,
hlr. Browning introduced Captain Hume to
Me. Uneoln. Captain Hume urielly stated
his case. He rr s lie v as not impressed w ith
tim i<iea tliat .Mr. Uncoln wns at al! a
handsome man. but hh face was marked
with tho utmost kindness. When Captain
Hume had stated his case, Mr. Lincoln said:
•'Court is not yet in session. We will call
a jury of lawyers and try this cam.” O. 11.
Browning was one of the jury selected by
Lincoln. Mr. Lineoli* rat quietly by while
Captain Hume stated bls care to the jury
of attormijs. No qtn stlons were asked and
no arguments made. Mr. Uneoln .-imply
eharg—l the jury that they murt r> member
that •‘this era- is clo. e up to the lino,
bearing in mind the statute o f fmiids."
Tho jury brought in a verdict f. r Hume's
> .lent, and Mr Lincoln sa d to Hume: "If
tiiis easo is w< ll handle I ..oil will recover;
o you v. in not.’ li is evident that
• ipt I, i Hume handled the < ise as advised
by Mr. L neoln, for he recovered tile amount
sued for.
A Tnlk with Ciiptaln llinnc.
Ttie writer paid a recent visit to Captain
Hume, at Blandinsville, and learned from
him very much of interest concerning that
visit of Mr. Lincoln. The captain says that
Mrs. Hume gave Lincoln a rejal turkey
dinner Sunday.
‘•Mr. Uneoln seemed to enjoy it Im
mensely," raid the captain, "and while at
the table said to Mrs. Hum 1 : ‘lf 1 had

Major Walker a r< » v „ Mr . unooln from
Lewiston to Canton at the conclusion of
Mr. Lincoln’s address on August lita.
"I do not now recll Mr. Lincoln's chief
topic of conversation," said the major, "but
It was mainly concerning pollt.es. I re
member that Mr. Laicoln then told ma he
regarded Governor Sewnrd, of New York,
as tho ablest man In the country.”
A volume might ba written containing
Incidents in the political and social life of
Mr. Lincoln that have escaped the notice
of historians. He was bo very near to all
tho people uiiat they seemed to be a part
of him. It is doubtful if there are many
counties in Illinois when- he was not n
timaicly known to some of the pioneers
and where he has not beenent erta.ned in
log cabins o’- hunfbli homes.

And In- drew his sword from its sheath

who stood on th" edge of tile Iduff. The

his strength, and tho head spilt under tl* e
blow, and ixird Harry Culverhouse fell

tlie ruby i. klaee in hut clenched hand.
And the k.ng shivered and a short sob
burst from him.
Ou this insuint arose an eager, glad cry.

saying:
"Wiiy, < >sta, you have been dreaming!
There Is no Lord Hurry here. Lord Hurry
< uivcriiom c is far off in* his own country.
Did this rascal of a trooper frighten
you?”
Ler eves grew wide in wonder, but be
fore she could epeak, he turned tu the
guard, saying:
"By heaven's pleasure. 1 came In time
to pr-vent any harm, except the loss ot a
necklace my sister wore. For as I rode up,
I saw a f< How stooping dow n by her,
and fumbling witli the clasp of tier neck
lace. He was one of your troop and had
rt.de out behind her, and he must have
carried Iter off by force, and now he was
< udeavoring lo rob her and as I rode up lo
him, In? ; prang a vay from her holding
her ne'klaec in his hand, and 1 leaped
down from my horse and ran at him, and

a, d drove him back to th.- edge ot the blulf
and then 1 split his skull and he fell Into
th" river, still holding tin* necklace. Hot,
thunks to Cod, the princess is not hurt.
Let s. arch be made t*»r th* fellow s body,
for perhaps the necklace will be still in his
mind.”
But one cried, "How came they here?
' Au. si t. r,” said Hie king, fixing his eyes
on i Mra, "how came yen here'.’*'
And she, reading In tin. king's eyes tlie an

"Siu- did not ton. h my hair today,” cried
tho princess.
"Ay.-, but “he did," said lie.
Tlie princess suddenly fell to sobbing and
she said:

Surely it was in truth Lord Hurry Culver

For The t'onstitution.
Big meeting time is a glorious time to old
folks. Like old clocks, we nt' d winding up
onco and a while and a big meeting Is tne
key that makes our hearts beat siiorisa r,
our hopes rise higher, and we mark time
witli a new vigor and more cheerful stroke.
Brown and I went back to our old settle
ment lust week and it has f freshed us and
wound us up to tick along for another year,
perhaps, or ul least, the tick is strongeY and
louder than it was before. We had nearly
run down, till wo took this trip of last week
and worsliiped again in the good old church
where we used lo worship in tlie days when
affections were sincere and natures true.
Il was big meetlug time, and our old neigh
bors had pressed us to be there ano to
strive ail together to have a revival of Hie
good old religion that should bo tne chief
ooncern of old folks, und Hie most glorious
companion for young folks to start oil
upon the journey of life with, ’ibis is one of
tho old churches which yet retains much
of the olden times. There was never Hie
sound of an organ there, but they have
some pretty new songs, and as the mow ti
ers gathered at tlie altar and sang
••Bringing In tho Sheaves,” I caught Brown
trying to hide a tear that had gathered in
tho left corner of his right eye. Brown and
1 used to panic in tlie woods around this old
church, and wo drank from this same old
spring and wo courttd tho pretty girls that
used to meet there. Our happiest lays
wero spent th.re, and everything seems so
dear tliat 1 excused Brown for dropping a
tear to tlie old memories that cluster tini".
Just as in the old times niotfiers carry
their babes to church, instead ot l.uving
them al home in the care of some wild
nurse to l.e tiamed in away tliat will only
increase tin- list ot crimes and criminals.
We have been gloomy over tiie statements
that statistics show an inen ase in crim..
and criminals, but mothers who leave their
children to bo trained by hired nurses and
preachers who would not have tlie little
ones to darken the door ot tin r churches
med not wonder ul this iiic’. a.'e ot crime.
And the same little schoolhouse Is stand
ing just a llttlo ways out from tlie old
church, and it is yet presided over by one
of those stern old teachers ti .it is almost
extinct and that the progress ot these days
refuses to a.o pl. When we contemplate
that of tiie several hundred school teanieis
in our own country there can only be num
bered sumo tilteen or twenty nun, and
when w., consider tliat thu teach: is are
mostly young girls, entirely Incompetent to
dis. ipllne a S' bool, lathers should i ot won
der at this increase in crime. Me must g' l
back to tho old teachers, or pretty 50.,.n
there will be no call for preachers. Moth
ers must take churge of their bat.es tie ni
selves or look to S''o liiem eliininals. fatheis
must discipline their children at home
and demand that they be dis ipiitv d at
school, or else turn the whole tiling over to
Ingersoll and the devil. , « • •
It Is wonderful how pleasantries, horrors
or superstitions will attach to places a.id
things tl'id associate with them down
through the years. We passed an ol 1 house
on our trip that lias been abandoned l. r
years, because of a superstition that Hie
spirit of its former owner still lingers
th rrc. The story is worth repeating lu re.
Tins old house became known as a "haunt
ed” house among negroes, and they so in
stilled the Idea into tlie children growing
up that white and black now mention it. a.*
the “haunted house.” Tlie man that, used to
live in this old house w.is a baHu lor. He
was a fellow that was forever trying to get
something different from what lie ha I,
ji.nd it took 1 i.i a long tini' >o .li-'-over that
lilow ba.l t.etter let w- II «'m'U..'.i alone,
' t.iu* Wien he iii. find it o'..' h" Wa - on the
extreme the other way, an" you j;ould hard
ly get him to make a change in anythin':.
He got so cranky on this line that h" would
not change his clothes. The negroes, know
ing of tills man's antipathy to changes, de
cided tliat he would never go to another
world at death if he coul I li. Ip it. and so
the Idea grew tliat his spirit lingered. They
got to imagine tliat they could h. ar rack
ets and see strange tilings around tlie old
house, and many got to 1, li -ve in ail < a: n
estm-ss that tho house was a "haunted
house.”
The owner of this house, who pla£.sl the
stigma of "haunt..l” on the pla.*e, had a
reason for his horror of changes. W hen
the war broke out he joined the caval'.v
und got him tlie east.-st riding horse that
he could find, went to Tennessee and prun -
ed around with Wlie.-ler. drinking bu"er
miik, and so on, until ho got so tat that he
was a misery to himself tend too gr-’at a
burden for any one horse. Ho took a no
tion that tiie cavalry service was the very
worst service in all the confederacy, and
so he went to work to get a transfer to
soni" other branch. It was easy eiioti :h
for him to get a transfer to the heavy ar
tillery at Eavannah, and out lie put for the
coast, and laj around eating oyster.*- and
fish, which was mighty nigh as n< ar a jficnic
as drinking buttermilk with the cavalry.
Once in a. while he had to lift at the big
guns, am! so became dissatisfied there and
got a transfer to "Hying" artillery. He
thought sure lie was fixed now. and started
for Virginia in gn at idee. He had known
nothing of war I'p to this time, and pretty
soon he s; i-ut all of Ids spare lime cursing
bin self f r leaving tho cavalry and bump
ing himself against trees for leaving Sa
vannah, but he was sure tliat infantry was
the tiling lie wanted to serve in, and so lie
got a transfer to one of Jackson's regi
ments. Be found his infantry company
out on a creek called ChickaJiominy, mar
Richmond, and from tlie day that he atriv
..l with them up to his death he refused to
eat chicken or hominy—just because it sound,
ed si mi thing like Chickal.ominy I r .u ss it
was a bad place, that Cliickahominy, ami
before the seven days’ fight was over our
friend was the completes! disgusted fellow
that ever went to Virginia from Georgia.
There is no use in my trying to tell you
what he thought of himself for making his
changes, but you can put it down that he
got so thorouglily against changes that the
>. ■;;rues that knew him would never believo
that he would change to the other world if
ho could help it, and so it grew to be be
lieved that lr." spirit lingered irooiH tills old
li..use, audit b ."s th" name ot the ’•haunt
ed house" till tins day and none are so
brave as to occupy ii.
Just before Hie first battle of I'r 'deri. k:-
burg our friend, got in such a bc.i fix that
t;,. v not him un cl' an eiMhes and in
sisted ui’on his "< iianging.”
"Don't you mention change to me,” said
lie. "The man that < onus around me talk

Some Horrors of n French Execution
er’s Oltieinl Life.
A curious bo< k of personal memoirs has
rec. ntly been published. It is “The Diary
ot Charles Henri Sanson,” who was the
Hrst of the family who for several genera
tions held the office of public executioner
in Paris. It is said that his aristocratic
bearing first earned fir this French heads
man tlie sobriquet of “Monsieur of Paris.”
His book Is said to be full of Interesting,
if gruesome, details about notable figures
and events in French history. The Argo
naut prints some extracts from the vol
ume.
Charlotto Corday was one of tho famous
persons whom Sanson sent out of the
world. His account of her death is as fol-
' lows:
"On this day. Wednesday July 17th, first
year of the one and indivisible republic, I
executed Charlotte Corday. On reaching
her cell in tho Conciergrie, we found
her writing. She looked in my direction
and asked me to wait. Wten she had fin
ished she took off her cap and told me to
cut her hair. Sim e M. de la Barre, I had
seen courage equal to hers. We were in
all six or seven m m, whose profession was
anything but softening, and yet she was
less moved than we were. When Iter hair
was cropped she gave part to the artist
who had taken her protrait, and soni" to
the Jailer’s wife. I gave her tlie rod shirt,
wuich sir: arranged herself. As 1 prepared
to pinion h< r site requested to jfeep on her
gloves, because when she was arrested the
eoris were so tight that h-r skin was
broken. I said she could if she liked, but
that I could do it without hurting her.
She smiled, and saying. To bo sure you
ought to know how to do it,’ hold out io r
m'k" I hands. There was thunder and lain
when we reached the quays, but the crowd
was thick. At a window of the Rue St.'
Honore, I saw Rob. : pierre, Caniillie and
liantom They look'd attentively at tiie
culprit. I myself often looked at her. Not
on account of her persomu beauty, great
as tliat w a '. but it s< emed impossible tliat
she could remain so calm and courageous.
I said: ‘You find the way long, I f. ar?*
‘No matter.’ replied she; ’w«- shall reach tlie;
scaffold : ..oner or later.' When we reach
ed the Place de la Revolution I tried to
hide it from her by standing up. But she
sail: T have a right to be curious; this is
the first timo 1 see it.’ She ascended the
steps nimbi . . One of my men suddenly .
snatched her neckerchief, and she stretched
out on the way plank of her own accord.
Although 1 was not ready 1 thought it
barbarous to prolong tiie poor girl's sufi'. r
ings for an instant. 1 iiia.ie a sign to my
man, und he pull, .i tlie r. pe.’
Even mo: o sho. king is this account of an
Incident of his work:
"A very unfortu . ite accident happened
, B
companions having h. n execut <l. As they
wue being strapped de'vu, my son, who was
attending to tlie basket, .ailed me, and 1
went to him. one of tile assistants hid
forgotten to reraise the knife, so that wn n
the weight-plank was lower d with the
convict Laroque strapped upon it his face
struck the edge of the kmt'e, which was
bloody. He uttered a t "liide shriek. I ran
up. lifted the plank and hasiened to raise
tbe knife. The convict triu.ble ! I ke a leaf.
The mob hissed us and th> rtop. s at us.
In the evening Citizen Fouquiet severely
reprimanded m<*. 1 de«"rv«M his blame, lor
I should have Isen in my usual place. Cit
izen I'otiquer saw 1 was very sorry and dis
miss, u ni" with mor kindness than I ex
pected. Thirteen t x.-<nt.or.s.”
During the revoluti n, Sanson’s services
were in constant requisition. He tells of
his revulsion lor his bloody work as fol
lows:
"Prarial 29.—A terrible day’s work! The
guillotine devoured fifty-four victims. My
strength is at an end, and 1 almost fainted
away. A caricature has been shown to me,
in which 1 am represented guillotining m? -

headless bodies and bi. iyless heads. 1 do

•* Hood’s Sarsaparilla adapts Jtself to the
sick and well alike. To tho sick it is a
~ sure cure and to
the well tbe
best safeguard
against sickness.

Sarsaparilla
" cured them after
other remeciiea
s failed. I, myself,
had been dys
peptic for twenty years and sought relief
in vain. I resorted to
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and have been built up in health. It
cured my stomach trouble and my weight
has increased from 112 to I’o pounds.
Try it yc sufferers from Maine to Califor
nia aiid from the North to the Gulf.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla will do you good."
