Birmingham Chronicle: Twelve
months ago Major James Spence,
then of Selma, Alabama, now <!. his
city, visited Birmingham for the
purpose of investing in real estate.
He spent ten days in looking and
pricing property and finally came to
the conclusion th it property was too
high and he i-jtumed to his home in
.Selma without making a purchase.
He, however, remained at nome but
a short time before he again returned
to Birmingham, and -pent several
days in looking st and pricing prop
ei y, he fl j lly selected a small plat
of ground that filled his eye. After
wrestling wl’h Dr. Caidwell for some
time they finally agreed upon the
price, $5,500, and the trade was made,
but rather under a protest so far as
M jor Spence was concerned. The
property was under a lease and has
been paying M ijor Spence one hun
dred dollars a month ever since he
bought it, which was on tbe s'h of
March, 1883. Thirty days ago Major
Spence priced this property at $20,000.
Twenty days ago he asked $24,000.
five days ago he said he would take
$27,375; yesterday he priced this same
droperty to a man from New York
city at $30,030. The New Yorker
offered him $28,000, and they finally
split the difference, and Major Spence
soi l hie property for $29,000 cash.
Counting the nett, profit on the sale,
and then add $1,200 rents collected,
and you have the snug sum of $24,700
clear profit otfthis transaction.
California has long had a little

ten years after 1864 the amount was
$1,161,700, and for the last ten years
$1,265,300. Flour has been a prom

start. Last year 6,C00 barrels of flour
were sent, vai led at $31,C30. There
were also a value of SIO,OOO in dry
goods. A novel item in the exports

The Duchess of Edinburgh, when

was going straight for a high bluff,
where they would < ir’iinly tumble
down into the < inyun and be killed.
You know that when a herd like that
gets to going they can’t stop, no mat

not. Those in the r ir crowd those
ahead, and away they go. I wouldn’t
have given a diltar ahead for that
herd, but the cowboy sourred up his
mustang, made a little uetour, came
in right in front of the herd, cut
across their paths at a right angie,
am) then galloped leisurely on to the
edge of that bluff, baited and looked
aiound at that wild mt of beef
coming right toward him. He was

A. T. STEWART’S REMAINS.
EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE NOTED
GRAVE ROBBERY BY A DETECTIVE.
The Chicago Inter Ocean publishes
an in’ervi *w with an unnamed detec
tive, woo cl.lime th <t in the summer
and fall of Chief of P Jiee Mc-
Garigle, of Chicago, and two or three
detectives held negotiations with tne
notorious “crook,” JLr'wisC Swe gein,
then nerving a term fo r robbery in
the Cuester, DI., penitentiary under
an assumed name.
Sweigels, who was known to be a
professional grave r >bb r, and was
concerned in the atremot to rob the
giav of Pf'slden Lincoln, told a
very complete, circumstantial and
consistent story of the robberv of A.
T. Stewart’s grave by himself, Luiv
Gavin and a m n named C.ff r, keep
ing a saloon in Fourteen'h street.
New York. Sweigois promised to re
store toe body only on condition of
his pardon from ths penitentiary and
receiving a part of the reward.
His pardon wrs secured, and, a<
cording to the detective’s story, a
syndicate with a cap) al of slo,o' )
was formed, whi h included McGa’ i
gle, Detectives Ouapm and Lansing
and E J. Lohman, all of Chicago, tor
the purpose of working up the case
and securing the reward of $103,1 i 0
offered bv Judge Hilton for the re
turn of Mr. B’ewarr.’s remains; t.ha
two or three visi's were made ' a New
York, and that negotiations were
conducted through Mrs. Johnson, a
female det' Hive of New York, and at
one time connected with the Chicago
force; that Inspector Byrnes, of
New York, became offended because
ne was not consulted after the first
visit; that the remains were finally
returned uoon rhe payment of $25,CC3
by Judge H ltou, as an evidence of
which Sweighs had plenty of money
about that time.
In ervieww w h McGarigle and the
detectives are also published. They
deny the forma ion of a syndicate to
work on the case. McGarigle admits
the general details of the story, in
cluding Sweigel ’ pardon and the
subsequent negotiations io New
York, but says that they fina'ly be
came disgusted with Sweigies because
he trifled with them, claiming that
the daugh'er -f the expressman who
carried the remains to the plao
where they were buried instigated her
father to secretly remove them to
another spot unknown to Sweigies.
The latter claimed that he had been
intimate with this woman, but could
obtain no information from her as to
the whereabouts of the body. McGar
igle Says he became convinced that
this was merely a trick f Sweigies’
to secure a pardon, and the negotia
tions were broken off before the re
mains were returned, and never re
sumed.
TH 3 GREATEST OF SUNS.
NEW POINTS ABOUT SIRIUS, BY THE BIDE
OF WHICH OLD SOL IS AN UNSNUFFED
CANDLE.
Chicago Times,
Messrs. Hough and Burnham, of
the D arborn Observatory, have been
engaged lately in micrometrical
measurements of the companion of
Biiius, the brightest star by far in rhe
whole heavens. The distance of
t3irius from the earth is estima'ed to
be 1.375,000 times greater than the
distance ot the sun, or about 123 750,-
C00.0U0.000 miles. Or, to measure its
distance another wav, its light, trav
eling at the rate of 180,600 miles per
second, would be more man tweuty
one ye. re in reschiug tne earth. In
other words still, the astronomer who
turns his telescope now ,m that star
sees it as it was more than a score of
years ago. The dimensions of the
star must be enormous, even as com
pared with our sun, for it is quite
twice the brilliancy ot any or its
companions, while our sun at. that
distance would probably appear like
a star ot the fourth magnitude.
Tne discovery of the companion of
Sirius w-s made by the Chicago iu
strument; not, however, by any of
our local astronomers. Mr. Clark,
the maker ot the telescope, mounted
it temporarily for trial at Cambridge,
and, turning it upon Sirius, was
amaz-d and delighted to find a little
star ot the tenth magnitude, which it
nad been suspected must be near that
great luminary. According to Mr.
Burnnam, who for several years has
kept waten of tnispair, the compan
ion moves in position angle between
three and five degrees a year, and ap
proaches the piimary about three or
four-ienths ot a second for that per
iod. It wiil soon, he says, be so n. ar
its.primary as to escape observation,
by reason ot the great brilliancy ot
the blighter stars. Indeed, it is ow
ing to the brightness of Sirius that
astronomers failed tor so long a time
co discover the companion, the lat
ter being within tne powers ot a
small telescope were it nor so close to
a brilliant luminary. Sirius is the
bright star seen nearly <lu< south sod
-bout thirty degre-s irom the orizon
just after nigntfall. It is to the left
of the conspicuous constellation
Orion and lower down.

Berlin, April B.—Prince Bismarck,

xplaius his withdrawal from the
Prussian ministry, is reported to

nerves are in bad condition. I have

Germany is interested iu whatever
happens in the capitals ot the world,
including New York and Washing

I must waten the moves affecting
Germany. It is necessary now to
study not only dominant politicians,
but also wire-pullers, financiers an i

act rapidly upon information tele

Tn fighting with a man who has

Besides, a gent leman gains nothing
by engaging in a rough and tumble
fight. When the scrimmage is over
nothing is settled, so tar as the
charge which provoked the fight is
concerned. A disgra. etui row has
occurred, and that is all.
If a man calls another, without
reason a liar, and abuses the privi

FROM ATLANTA.
THE WHIG REPUBLICANS DISPERSE—MB.
NORCROSS THROWS A SHELL NEW
PHASE OF REPUBLICANISM IN GSORGIA
ITS TENDENCY,
Atlanta, April 10.—A half dozen of
whig republicans met this morning to
conclude the business of the session.
A number of letters were read from
prominent republicans over the state
expressing sympathy for the move
ment. It appeared that the hand
writing of these gentlemen differed
little from the handwriting of other
statesmen in ite hieroglyphic char
acter, and the secretary was finally
compelled to suspend the reading,
owing to bis inability to decipher the
lines.
Mr. Jonathan Norcross, at this
juncture of the proceedings, threw a
shell into the ranks of the brethren
by offering a resolution calling a
state convention of the colored voters,
in sympathy with them, to meet in
Atlanta May Ist to confer and co
operate with the whig republican
convention on the question of sending
a delegation to Chicago, and for the
transaction of such other business as
might seem proper to them. This
resolution failed to meet the approval
of the chairman and other members
of the meeting, and was forthwith
smothered by referring it and ail
other unfinished business to the
executive committee.
Chairman Markham then read an
address setting forth his views of the
movement, after which the meeting
adjourned sine die,
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN GEORGIA.
The republican convention held
yesterday, i’s membership and pro
ceedings, indicate a new order of
things in the party in this state. Not
that it will be less corrupt, or that
its methods differ from tne old, but
it has assumed a complexion which
may mean much to the people. The
white republicans, native Georgians,
who have heretofore given the party
in Georgia the little respectability
and decency It had, disgusted with
its methods, sick of the domination
of the negro element, and of a few
white tricksters, foreign to the soil,
who still linger to remind us of the
odious “ carpet-bag and scallawag ”
era, have quit the party. Thus the
colored vote of the state is left in the
hands of such men as Bryant, Buck,
Farrow, Locke, and that ilk. What
the direction of their leadership
will be, and what it means, may be
assumed from the harangues of J.
E. Bryant before the convention yes
terday. in which his toadyism to the
negro, his encouragement of social
equality, his trade against the decent
white republicans who would not
affiliate with him or cringe to his
lash. This species of demagogery
was strongly condemed last night by
some of the better class of white men
whose fortunes are still cast with
that crew.
And so General Longstreet is to be
thrust out of office to give place to J.
E. Bryant.
It is unfortunate that the colored
citizens of Georgia have fallen into
such hands, and it is to be hoped that
when their eves are opened, when
they find out what tools they are to
be made, and how they are being
used, they will have the good sense
and the wisdom to repudiate such
leadership.

said old Galen. Once that terrible disease,
Rheumatism, was supposed to be a shifting,
local ailment, now attacking the joints and now
the muscles. To-day it is demonstrated to be a
disease of the blood
Mrs. Henry Bogert, of No. 454 Atlantic Ave

from Rhe jiuatism and pain in the back and
limbs. She was advised to take the Tonic for
Kidney Disease, She did so, and her Rheuma
tism disappeared.” The reason is simple. Dis
essed Kidneys produce rheumatic sy amp tons.
Cure them and you destroy Rheumatism. This
