.o ami Jealousy.
•V Ten Fear's Sentence to liepent
an Act <M'Jealousy.
“Ten years is a long time—it is
too severe!” sfcid J, J. Patterson, as
the tears trickled down his cheeks
from two brown eves.
Patterson is muter sentence of
ten years foe cutting Ids wife at
Grantfs park last summer. The sto
ry of the man as connected with
1 his woman—his wife—is pathetic.
“Whisky is a bad, bad thing,”
said he, “but there is nothing on
God's earth so bad as the madness
of a loving man’s jealousies. My
crime was not romnd: ted under the
influence of strong drink. It was
.jealous frenzy for the only woman
J ever loved,” said he, sighing.
Then dashing a tear from his
cheek, ha went on:
“I learned to love her when she
was an innocent country girl, lrotn
lie good old county of Banks. Her
name was Narcissie Bell, and her
parents came to Atlanta from
Banks county lor the purpose of
giving her the advantage of public
schools. I learned to love her while
she was yet a blooming school girl,
living on the corner of Lurkie and
Foundry streets. I loved her then,
I love her now, and from the abund
ance of that love I was aggravated
info committing tjha rtsh act for
which I am sentenced to serve ten
vcars in the chain gang, it's too
severe—it's too severe, 1 remarked
the prisoner, between his sobs.
‘•There is-no love without jeal
ousy,” he went on, ns the tears ran
<’ u.yn ids '-heel's ‘-dhow me ahus
band who has not jealousy for his
w fe and I will show you r.n un
loved woman. Show ina a woman
who is five from ealousies and I
will show you a lie art that is void
ot love. It was all love—love in
tense —that caused mo to do as I
have done. If I had not loved I
could not have been aggravated in
is this crime.
‘T know that my walk in life
was not as pure as it should have
been, but with my hand on my
heart, I tell you that all the blur
that should stand marked against
me is connected with this woman
—this wile of mine.”
And a heavy sigh went up.
“I committed indiscretions, on a
visit ot liar and myself back to
Franklin county,” he went on, ‘-but
I appeased the law and saved her
character by a marriage that was
as holy and sacred to my heart as
'is my marriage recorded in Geor
gist.” And a smile with something
of happiness in it played over Ins
leatures.
‘‘One time, too, I got into a row
and was severely cut with a knife.
That was when i was nineteen. 1
suffer now from that wound, but
iuy conscience is clear and the
] cople around the dear old church
t.f Indian creek, where the difficult
iy occurred, will bear me out that
1 was not f© blame. This is the on
ly difficulty I overbad except the
uiifeswith Narcissi®, and for which
'em now sentenced to the peniien
t wry. 5
Then after a pause, during which j
he appeared to be in thought, he’
wen', on;
“The sentence is too sever®, but
if I knew that its very severity
would cause one pang in the wo
man’s heart who lias aggravated
nia to •bis, I would be content.
File knew I lovad, and in tier pets
drove mo to frenzy. A woman’s
temper and a jealous nature is Jho
cause of all this. lam sorry, tnd
I ii ope she is.”—[Constitution.
The above sounds very sympa
thetic, but all criminals come ;o
this. Patterson deserves his sen
tones, ho ought to an £ must gc . lie
has been living with a hide woman
for years, and he knew it; and,.he
ought to, and r.o doubt, did know*,
that nothing short of the gates of
hell closed in on a woman of this
sort, will .check her iiienous Justs.
The courts of the country are ready
to give a separation of lids sort to
either side. Patterson’s jealousy,
through love, for an unvirtuous,
vile and lusty woman, only con
demns deeper in wrong, and all
sober thinkers -with u drahm of
setose can not decide '-os her wise.
The Journal publishes the above
best-', use the writer h vs learned that
Patterson and his wife lived in this
county, and their wi'd and disgrac
ing freaks are well remembered.
Is it a Lost Aid?
From l;;e tone of tho lament sent
up by the press throughout the
length and breadth of the land, one
would suppose that the cheap alum
inum problem is, since lhe death of
this one man, as r from being
solved as it was in 18od, when a
very poor qualify of that valuable
material w rs worth s2oo per pound
—on this point, however, the peo
pie are being misled.
I do not believe it to be the in
fention of Hie press to be mislead
ing in this or any other matter,
however, triv/d, but what one of
the numerous croakers who have
helped to swell the cry. ‘-Lost,
from shore to shore believes, after
a moment’s sober afterthought, that
an invention or process, necessary
Jo the advancement of mankind
could be irretrievably lost by tho
death of one man?
The pompeiians could cast plast
er statutes whole and hollow at a
single Hast; nothing ol the kind can
be dme in this day and age o l ' the
world.
The ancients understood the pro
cess of manufacturing malleable
glass;cups were made in those old
en times which could be dashed vi
olently to the ground without a frac
ture; only dents, where, perchance,
they came in contact with cobble
stones or other pebbles; 1 lie dents
could be hammered eut just for all
tho world like we would hammer
dents in tinware at the present day.
Malleable glass is another of the
lost arts. In the year 97G A. D., the
Chinese emperor, Tai Tsung, came
into possession of a wonderful paint
ing of an ox, which was visible only
during the night— at daylight it
vanished. It was a specimen of the
ancient luminouspainting of which
not a single example is now extant.
Above I have catalogued three
representatives of (hs lost at Is, arts
v hick are indeed lest; but mind, dear
reader, t j lost by the cleat
of a single . •:&!. Cmes wen
overwhelms'! v.ldimany fed cf p'as*
u >, fiery lava; whole nitions wore wij

f>d pestilence, ami islands and Omni
cents sunken health the rushing w#
ters" which closed -owr them, m Aing
'he wreck of the radon in which’it
thrived as couipktSs as the loss of the
art itself.
With there tad t ia view it is hard
ly possible, if tl£ “Aimumum Ago”
h really been foreshadowed to the
extent c'a me t by enthusiastic scien
tists and inverftors, that the brilliant
white metal era jviW forever recede
from mir si pit. Because one man has
iivtd his slotted days ami passed to
ibe great unknown vGhcnt levoaiing
bis process of cheapening a material
that will make "au >.go as roach in ad
vance of this of iron as 'ho iron age is
in advance of the stone age or that oi
prehistoric bronze, there are no reasons
for considering the art lost forever.
Fur tho past two or three veais many
i xtrrvagant stories have been circuhit
