Barnesville Gazette: Last Thurs
day Mr. John P. McLean showed us
a gold wa’ch purchased in London in
1701 by his great grandmother. The
gold o i-e had so w rn that Mr. Mc-
Lean in 1881 had Mr. O. 8. Higgins
to rec.ise it. The watch was in per
fect running order; the machinery of
the wa’ch has never hud to be over
hauled in any way. The watch was
originally purchased in London In
the year 170 l by Catharine Chilcott.
At her death the watch passed into
the hands of her son, Andrew 0. Mc-
Lean. At his death Mr. W. H. Mc-
Lean, the son of Andrew, inherited
it. In 1881 Mr. W. H. McLean gave
the watch to his son, Mr. John P.
MoL an, with directions to have it
recased, which he did, and at the
same time had Mr. Higgins engrave
on the inner face the date of the pur
chase and the name of Mrs. Chilcott,
The watch now looks new, and is as
good a time piece as any of modern
manufacture.
Newnan’s wrath has been justly
aioused by a story which blings to
light another instance jof the vil
lainy of United States deputy mar
shals. Several deputy marshals un
der some frivolous charge went to the
house of Henry Kite, an old, decre
pid man who resides just oyer the
state line in Alabama, to arrest him.
Old Mr. Kite was in bed when the
deputies reached his bouse. They
informed the old man that they had
come to arrest him. Kite said he had
not done anything and demanded an
explanation, whereupon the deputies
dragged him out es bed. Kite made
someresistence,when one of thed< pu
ties, named Ratiree, beat him severe
ly with his carbine. The old man
has been under treatment of a physi
cian for several days, who has been
dressing the wounds inflicted on his
attenuated old frame. Tuesday the
preliminary trial came up before the
commissioner at Newnan, when it
appeared that there was no evidence
■whatever on which the old man
could be even suspected of guilt, and
he was consequently discharged, to
walk his way back to Alabama, as he
was unable to pay railroad fare.

The Combination Newspaper Cut.
Peck’s Sun.
• A gentleman connected with the
newspaper business in this city has
tilled a want long felt by the inven
tion of a combination newspaper cut
i or portrait that can be used to repre
sent any self-made man, actor or ac
tress, so that it is not necessary to
buy a new cut when the newspaper
desires to depict the features of a
I man or woman. The newspapers
: have of late years got in a habit of
: publishing pictures of great men and
women, and while the pictures are
very interesting to the reader, the
cost of each production makes a seri
ous inroad upon the box office re
ceipts of the paper. The Milwaukee
Inventor has got the matter down
floe. He takes as a basis, newspa
per cut of Oscar Wilde, showing a
face that may pass for a woman or a
man, a face as vacant as the head
above it, with no expression, no noth
ing but a dough face. Suppose a
newspaper man desires to publish a
cut of Ellen Terry, with the combi
nation cut, all he has to do is to curl
Osc i.r’s hair, pull down bis vest so as
to show a little bare neck, and draw
the mouth into a beautiful smile,
such as the lady wears when she
throws a kiss to a lady friend in a box
in a theater, and the picture is com
plete, at no expense. If a picture of
Fitz John Porter is desired, the
newspaper man screws on a pair of
sidewhisliers, puts on a democratic
look on the face, a sort of “out of
meant” look, screws a pair of major
general stars into the shoulder, and
Fizt is presented to the million read
ers of the paper as natuarl as life. If
a picture of Whitelaw Reid, of the
New York Tribune, Is desired, the
artist takes the cut of Oscar, pulls
the ueck out so that it is about eigh
teen inches long, with the Adam’s
apple at the throat, and leaning for
ward, slopes the forehead back, mus
ses the hair, screws on a baseball
moustache, with nine hairs on a side,
puts on an expression as though
Whitelaw smelled woolen or some
thing burning, and there is the great
man who foundered Horace Greeley’s
paper, na oral as life. If a picture
of Conkling >s wanted, the artists
telescopes the neck btek to its origi
nal length, and removes the Whi’e
iaw Reid business, puts a curl in the
torehead, telescopes the nose out so
it is thin, and looks as though it
smelt burnt, oyershoe, and Roscoe is
presented to a million readers. If a
picture of Ben Butler is desired, the
artist removes Oscar’s hair, leaving
a plain, open space, twists tho
eye? right and left, so one is looking
Into the future while the other is
looking at. the past, pu’s on a mous
tache, swells out the cheeks,and puts
on an expression such as a man has
when he gets to the depot and finds
his train gone, and there is Ben in ail
his glory. For Susan B. Anthony or
Dr, Mary Walker the artist soaks
rhe out in vin> gar and alum for a day
and leav. s off all the moustache and
side whiskers, and those self-made
women are ready for the market. To
make a picture ot Piesident Arthur
it is only necessary to push the chin
up and make a double chin of it,
screw on side whiskers closely trim
med, and give tne picture an expres
sion of a man who has got enough
and knows when he has got
en> ugh, and Arthur is before you.
For John K dlyit is only necessary
to hit the pic ure of Oscar with a ciub
and knock the brains out, kick the
chin up, and shorten the lips so the
teeth will show like a row cf pauper
tombstones in a Potter’ field, put on
a few whiskers that looked as though
they had been picked like geese, and
the Tammany boss is as natural as
life. In this way, at an original ex
pense of five dollars, a newspaper
can publish a picture of any man or
woman on earth, that will look more
natural than the outs that are made
on purpose to represent each individ
ual. such as are now being published
in the papers to harrow up the souls
ot the victims. There is a fortune in
the invention tor somebody.

FRANK IAMBS.
I THE LAST OF THE BAND LODGED IN THE
HUNTSVILLE JAIL.
j Huntsville Independent.
The latest accession to the list of
our sojourners Is the last of what Is
known to history as the James band,
—no less a personage than Frank
James himself. He was brought here
last Thursday, from Missouri by two
I United States deputy marshals and
turned over to m rshal Hinds. Hav
ing had allot his state cases in Mis
souri disposed of finally, by virtue of
the infamy of Dick Liddiil and the
consequent invalidity of whatever
this sweet scion of reformation might
say. Frank James was immediately
taken in band by government offi
cials, and brought here to answer a
charge of conspiracy to rob puymas
ter Smith at Mussel Shoals. As soon
as it was noised about that the “dis
tinguished outlaw” was in the city
quite a throng ot curious bodies went
to the Calhoun building,where they
got a glimpse of him.
“There he sits with a thin corn
silk moustache, and smoking a cigar,”
said a bystander to the Independent’s
scribe. The scribe at once proceeded
to make mental notes of the physiog.
of the supposed bandit, and had suc
ceeded in taking a pretty accurate
photograph of the subjec on his
minds tablet, when the said subject
arose and quietly walked out of the
house and across the street to a
neighboring saloon. It was one of
the Missouri deputy marshals! Al
ready we had detected in tiis eye rhe
devil-may-care rt flex of a road agent,
but we had to change the camera at
once, N xt time we turned it on the
VERITABLE FRANK JAMES,
A man iivo feet, sen and one quarter
inches high, seeming taller than he
is (tor he only weighs 130 pounds)
dark brown hair, a clear, firm, earn
est eye, and quite quick and almost
nervous in his movements. He look
ed travel-worn and when seen several
days later in his ceil at the j ill, there
whs a marked differenc> tor rhe bet
ter in his appearance. He is rather
pale, but by no means a cadaver,
standing in stocking ready to
jump off into the great elswbere in a
giffy. His extreme pallor is suggest
ive of a want cf sunshine. Since
October of 1882, he has not. enjoyed
the bounding, buoyant life of a dash
ing freebooter, but has sickiied over
with Ihe damp of prison walls. His
life has undergone a change I A
glance revtals the fact that his chest
is his weak physical point, but he is
not yet at the perilous edge of the
grave, not by a deuced distance! He
informed our scribe that his natural
weight was not over Ho pounds. He
□as a dry, comfortable cell at the
jail, and thinks tbar he is stronger
than he has been tor some months
past. He rhinks he would like Hunts
ville, whose beauties of scenery and
charming air were already familiar
to him. He
HAD BEEN TO HUNTSVILLE
several times before, but bad not tar
ried there more than a day or two at
a time. He had likewise traveled
through on the Memphis and Charles
ton road several tim- s, and had ad
mired (?) the mountain fastnesses of
Jackson county.
CONCERNING HIS CASE,
or course, we did not expect to hear
him say much. He said that be had
employed Gen. L. P, Walker as his
local attorney, and expected that
Governor Charles P Johnson, of Mis
souri, would be on hanu at the trial.
His habit was to get the very best
o uncil to be had and leave every-
thing to them. Yes, he always slept
well; slept as easy as an infant; went
to bed about nine o’clock every night,
and did not get up until half-past ten
next morning. He found that sleep
hai ail the health-giving powers so
often (ascribed to a thousand and one
nostrums, was a man that never fret
ted; had made it a study to control
his nervous structure. Os course men
were always more or less creatures of
circumstance, and the same man
would differ veiy widely in his life
under different circumstances. His
circumstances had been a hard
school indeed. Hr would not try to
make a bond, he reckoned, as it was
but a short time till the April term
ot the federal court, and his friends
had already been exceedingly kind to
him. He could m ike a bond easily if
be chose to. He did not wish to
tax bis friends any more t han he
found actually necessary. He hoped
the local prers at least would
not go out of tne wav to pound him.
and hound him, and prejudice his
approaching trial. Every man is en
titled to an unprejudiced trial. With
a merry twinkle, he said he thought
the entire press owed him a large
bounty, for he had' furnished them
food for gossip and refl ction for
twenty years, and they had often
taken the privilege of placing him a
thousand miles dis ant from where
he really was.
When the scribe bade him "good
morning,” he extended a cordial in
vitation to the scribe to call again, ss
he bad always been a friend to the
quill drivers and had never inter
ferred with one of them. The scribe
has a vague suspicion tha> there was
another twinkle in bis off eye this
time, as he said he had never “trou
bled” any newspaper man. We
would not charge him wrongfully for
a million shining ducats, but unless
we are on a false trail, there was that
in this last mentioned laughter of his
optic which arose from a knowledge
on his part of the impecunioeity ot
the journalistic guild, as much as to
say: “Frank James knew where to
find what he wanted,”
Alas I what great mistakes even the
greatest of us sometimes fall into!

THE NATION’S HOAD TO RUIN.

; The Madison Avenue Congrega
tional church wis crowded to its
utmost capacity iasu evening, waen
tne Rev. Dr. J P N wman began
his sermon, tne subj ci of which
■w >s “Impending Evils in Our
National Life.” In the course of
his address he said that, moral cor
(ruption proceeded political ruin.
, Past history showed tnat the great
nations which hud died came to
their end through what m-n call
vice. This country wu- threatened
by ceitain dangeis. He might, for
instance, ret-r to •he large foreign
population in our midst, which has
no sympathy with our institutions.
He might call attention to the pres
ence in this country of a church
with a head, who is never safisfled
unless his authority be accompanied
bv temporal power. This church
was a source or impending danger
and menace to rhe welfare of this
country.
ARE WE GOING TO THE DOGS.
"There are in thia country,” he
continued, “largo masses of ignorant
people. The t aet census snows that
there are 4,000,000 persons tie e wno
are illiterate. These illiterate peo
ple are a source ot menace. Study
the history ot the worlu and you will
find that there have ever been such
dormant mass >s awaiting the coming
ota leader. When the leader comes
they suddenly spring into malignant
octiviiy.”
So in this country, the day will yet
e me when the dangerous, illiterate
class to which I have referred wiil be
hurled against the very foundations
of the republic. Study history, I say,
and you wii. find true the success cf

ing tribes of Asia, which cam; for
ward at hi . call. Here we have
thousands ready to obey the sum
mons of am in who dwells on the
banka of ihe Tiber and to render
blind obedience to his
commands. « Here, I repeat,
is a so urce oi peril. The spirit
ot sectional s rife, which has
caused trouble before, wiil cause it
again We shall not oniy hive ru
mors of wars, but war in ail its terri
ble actuality. There is not iaw
enough , not tiue religion enough, to
avert thia crisis. The only tope of
escape is tnat God. in fair mercy,
may infuse these masses with true
intelligence and light.
ARE THE MINI TESS PAID TOO MUCH?
Two otner sources ot danger co our
national <i - are our excesses and the
superficiality of our social life. We
indulge »n too much luxury. Any
people less young, les.- strong than
we must have sunk into decadence
beneath the luxurious excesses we
indulge in. These excesses are, how
ever, telling upon ua 'Ana corroding
our sources ot vitality. Then, as co
our social die. Wh is the educa
tion of a fashion ble young lady? A
little music, a little French, a little
crocnet work, a limited amount of
skill in embroidering, &c As tor so
ciety, there is a ea iddrnees in fash
ionable society in this country which
is simply disgusting to persons »ot
tru refinement.
L t us now take as a few figures.
Our national wine bill—or, in plain
language, our rum bill—amounts to
SBOO 000,000 a year. The annual
amount spent in dry goods and cl (th
ing is $330,000,000; in schools, less
than $160,000,000; in breadstuffs,
$450,000,000; in publishing and print
ing, $60,000 000;o lawyers and crim
inals, $90,000,000. On the clergy, the
poor clergy -the clergy who preach
to saint and to sinner—who are de
pended on to save our sou is—on 1 hem

gv, $12,000,000; national rum bill,
$800,000.0001 Just think ot itl
THEBE IS YET TIME TO SAVE OUBSELVES,
Tne last act of the nation which is
staggering to its ruin is to press the
wine cup to its lips. That day, upon
which the conqueror, whose ban
ners had been borne in triumph
from far Macedonia to the banks
of the Indue, succumbed to tne wine
cup; tuat Gay the empire of the
mighty Philip fell—fell from Occi
dent to Orient, utterly to pieces.
Citizens, I beseech you, on this ealm
Sabbath night, by the lights which
shine on you irom the summits of the
centuries, to contemplate these mat
ters. There is yet time, perhaps; for
there is yet strength and vitality in
this country to conquer these evils,
and there is also a Providence, re
plete with mercy. But, as I have
warntd you, beware. Tempt not this
Providence too far, lest God rise in
His wrath and smite this nation so
that it fall, in II proud genius and
strength, dea l beneath the blow.

As an adjunct of a hotel in this city
is a poker game, the equal of which
for unlimited heavy betting probably
cannot be found in the country. The
other day one ot the heaviest players
at this room, an ex-senator, pointed
out a dapper-looking young man on
the street, and said to a triend, with
a sad sigh:
“There goes the biggest robber on
record.”
‘ Who is he?”
"He’s a commercial drummer from
New York. Ho was introduced to us a
month ago and played poker three
weeks running.”
“He was. eh ?”
“No, he lost. You see, the great
art in poker is to learn to size up your
opponent’s play and to read his facial
expression. This fellow didn’t seem
to play very well, and finally we got
on to tne fact that every time he was
‘bluffing’he’d smile and look confi
dent, while whenever he held threes
or better, he’d sigh and look fright
ened, just, to coax us to bet, you see.”
“Old dodge, that.”
“Exactly, but listen. After we had
dropped to his wavs we went for him
heavy, and won S2OO ors 300 every
nignt for a wei k and mote. The oth
er night we waited until he seemed
unusually exultant, und we went all
around. Every time we raised him
he’d dig up more coin some how,and
finally he put a cn* ok for SB,OOO on
top of the pile. We noticed that he
tried desperately to force a smile and
look happy, so we all called him.
There was $36,000 and odd on the ta
ble. I had three aces myself,”
“And then?”
“And then the infernal pirate
showed down four kings. He had
just reversed on us, that was all.”

i toe purpose of considering rue ques
i tion of a revision oi the constitution.
I In replying to their addresses, Prince

proves that wheu it. is necessarv to

happy to nave my son at my aide. It
a confirmation of the union of our
family, and shows that it is as
impossible to separate father
and son as to separate the
Nopoleons from the cause of
the people. Bad faith existing
in some quarters has misrepresented
the pacific and perfectly legal agita
tion which our party is pursuing.
The constitution of 1876, imposed
upon the country by Orleanisr in
trigue, which subordinated every
thing to parliament and handed over
the government of the country to our
present ills, the symptoms of which
are becoming alarming. I trust, that
you will not listen to a few individu
als who are preaching a narrow, bom
bastic and seditious policy, but that
you will follow the great and loyal
policy which shall revindicate the
rights oi the people. Place yourself
at tne head of this revision move

OILING TH ;i OCEAN.
LATEST EXPERIMENTS IN ENGLAND.

Mr. Shields has taken out patents

ural anxiety to promo e its general
utilization iu the work ot saving life
and protecting property, in its effica
cy for which purp<>se he is a firm and
emhusiastic believer, he has had tiis
appliances set in gear about Folk
stone Harbor, whither yesterday
journeyed some gentlemen interested
in the object.
The experiments would have bad
greater practical results it the sea
had been rougher. But the visitors
saw enough to convince them of the
marvelous effects ot oil iu quieting
the perturbation of the ocean. The
‘white horses” tuat came tumbling
in ftom the channel had to smooth 1
their man s and take ou demure
ness as soon as they reached the
region of the oil. And not the least '
surprising feature ot the oil’s influ- ■
once is the singularly email quantity f
of it needed to produce the most I
marked effect. It was told to the .
visitors yesterday that a single drop
of oil will spread over a water sur
face ot one square yard. In an At- ,

The Empress of Austria’s taste for
field sports is by no means exception
al among ladies of rank in Austria
and Hungary. Reoently the Grown
Princess accompanied her husband
on a shooting expedition, and proved
herself to bean excellent shot. The
imperial hunts in Hungary, though
the Empress is incapacitated from
riding this year, are always frequen
ted by a number of ladies belonging
to the higher court circles.

“THINGS THAT ARE NOT."
s I dreamed a dream ot Love;
1 4 hat she was holy, pure and true;
A friend to give delight on earth;
A voice to bid man look above;
Her constancy her only worth,
Alas! like this she comes to very few.
, I heard her sacred name
On lips of many—young and old,
I looked their idol in the face,
A giddy, pleasure-seeking dame,
Whose vanity is her disgrace;
Whose summer friendship fades before
the cold.
Is love, then, but a dream,
The sv eetest fancy man can know!
Or has she broken earthly bars
And fled, with her celestial gl< .m,
To shine aloft among the stars
And look with scorn upon the clods be
low!
When Faith and Hope are dead,
When life has tor its only aim
To seek the passing moment’s bliss,
To find sufficiency of Oread,
Man soon his highest will joys miss,
And seeking Love will find her but a
name.

have a dispute with a New York

Caldwell, Ky., arose and confessed
that he had robbed a store in 1863 of

primary schools are short-sighted,
and tnat this increases in the upper
grades, until it is as high as 20 per

Io a lecture in New York, on Tues
day, Mgr. Capel said God evidently
intended the Irish as a mission race.
He extolled their devotion to their

every country where Irishmen were
found they impressed their charac

A Birmingham, Eng., firm has re

the mist showily beautiful objects

columns. The cost of the footstool
alone is £B4O, so that the value of
the throne is fabulous.
