Cijronicic an& £ntftnd. WEDNESDAY JULY 16, 1873. ANTONY AM) CLEOPATRA. I am dying. Egypt, dying, Ebb* the crimson life tide fast, And the dark Plutonian shadows Gather on the evening blast ; Let thine arms, O Queen, support me, Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear, Harken to the great heart secrets. Thou, and thou alone, must hear. Though my scarred and veteran legions Bear their eagles high no more. And my wrecked and scattered galleys Strew dark Actium's fatal shore. Though no glittering guards surround me, “ Prompt to do their master's will, 1 must perish like a Homan. Ins* tiie great Triumvir still. Let not Csr-sar’s servile minions. Mock the lion thus laid low ; Twas no foeman’s hand that slew him, Twas h e own that struck the blow. Hear, then, pillowed on thy bosom, Ere his star fades quite away, Him who. drunk with thy caresses, Madly threw a world away Should the base plebian rabble Bare assail mv fame in Home, Where the noble spouse, Octavia. Weeps within her widowed home ; Seek her, say the gods have told me, Altars, augurs, circling wings. That her blood with mine commingled, Yet shall mount the throne of Kings. And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian ! Glorious Sorceress of the Nile. Light the path to Stygian horrors, With the splendors of thy smile. Give this Ciesar crowns and arches, Let his brow the laurel twine ; I can scorn the Senate’s triumphs, Triumphing in love like thine. I am dying, Egypt, dying : Hark the insulting foeman’s cry ; They are coming—quick, my falchion Let me front them ere I die. All! no more amid the battle Hball my heart exulting swell, isis and Osiris guard thee, Cleopatra! Home ! —farewell! Something lias been done already in the wav of ballad writing for the farmers. But the bards are not as poetical as the public would like. The ballads smack of political gatherings and comer grocery consultations. They smell of the axe that ’ the poet baH in process of grinding. Perhaps the best of the fanners’ songs is the following : The Grangers Song. Till. HAND THAT HOLDS THE CHEAP. Brothers of the Plow, The power is with you ; The world in expectation waits For action prompt and true. Oppression stalks abroad, Monopolies abound; Their giant hands already clutch The tillers of the ground. Chorus —Awake ! then awake! Brothers of the Plow, The great world must he fed, And Heaven gives the power To the hand that holds the bread. Yes. Brothers of the Plow! The people must be fed, And Heaven gives the power To the hand that bolds the bread. Chobcs—Awake ! then awake! Brothers of the Plow, In calm and quiet might You’ve waited long and patiently For what was yonra by right; A fair reward for toil, A free and open held, An honest share for wife and home Os what your harvests yield. Chobcs —Awake ! then awake! Ac. Brothers of the Plow ! Come, rally once again ; Come, gather from the prairie wide, The hillsides and the plain ; Not, as in days of yore, With trump of battle sound ; But come and make the world respect The tillers of the ground. Chobcs Awake! then ! awake! Ac THE HOME OP TWENTY YEARS AGO. BY PARKE WILSON. Fond Fancy brings to dreaming eyes A picture sweet and clear— And, as I gaze, now beauties rise, And many an image dear. ’Tig not of hoary castle gray, Nor hamlet on the down, Nor where the lingering moonbeams play O'er ancient tower or town — But sleeping now in Summer's light, And now in Winter’s snow, She brings the homo again to-night Os twenty years ago. Sweet spot! thou liadst no frowning Avails, No battlement nor mere ; But in thy hospitable halls What gladsome light and cheer ! How innocent the mirth and jest, How fondly beamed each eye, How kindly welcomed was the guest Os low estate or high ! Oh. happy earth, if in thy round All might such welcome know As in that home each pilgrim found Os twenty years ago. And where are they ? The happy hand Who gathored round their sire, And prayed for tale of foreign land Beside the evening tire ; The laughing girl, the bright-eyed boys, The youth, the maid were there ; Tlie tottering infant spread his toys Beside his mother's chair. But now how drear each well known room When fades the sunset glow ! For lint one lamp lights up the home Os twenty years ago. One Avho had dwelt for years afar Found in thy shades a grave— Some wander where the evening star Sinks in the western wave - Scattered, perchance, for aye are they Once gathered heath thy roof ; For duty calls, and they obey Her high hut storn behoof. Yet from each heart fond prayers will rise When Fancy does hut show That pictured homo to dreaming eyes Os twenty years ago. '• BRING ME WORD HOW TALL SHE IS ?” BY DOHA OREBNAVELI..

London, June 18.— “ Would you like to go over - to Belgium and help bring the Shah to England ?” I said I Avas willing. “Very well, then; here is an order from the Admiralty which will ad mit you on boardjler Majesty’s ship Lively, now lying at Ostend, and you can return in her day after to-morrow.” That was all. That was the end of it. Without stopping to think, I had in a manner taken upon myself to bring the Shah of Persia to England. I could not otherwise regard the conversation I had just held with the London representa tive of the New York Herald. The amount of discomfort I endured for the nest two or three hours cannot be set down in words. I could not eat, sleep, talk, smoke with any satisfaction. The more I thought the thing over the more oppressed I felt. What was the Shah to me, that I should go to all this worry and trouble on his account? Where was there the least occasion for taking upon myself such a responsibility ? If I got him over all right, well. But if I lost him ? if he died on my hands ? if he got drowned? It was depressing, any way I looked at it. In thi; end I said to myself, “If I get this Shah over here safe and sound I never will take charge of another.” And yet, at the same time, I kept thinking, “This country has treated me well, stranger as I am, and this foreigner is the country’s guest— that is enough. I will help him out; I will fetch him over; I will land him in London, and say to the British people, ‘Here is your Shah; give me a receipt?’” I felt easy in my mind now, and was about to go bed, but something oc curred to me. I took a cab and drove down toAvn and routed out that Herald representative. “ Where is Belgium ?” said I. “ Where is Belgium ? I never heard such a question !” “That doesn’t make any difference to me. If I have got to fetch this Shah I don’t wish to go to the Avrong place. Where is Belgium ? Is it a shilling fare in a cab ?” He ex plained that it was in foreign parts— the first place I have heard of lately which a body could not go to in a cab for a shilling. I said I could not go alone, because I could not speak for eign languages well, could not get up in time for the early train without help and could not find my way. I said it was enough to have the Shah on my hands ; I did not Avish to have every thing piled on me. Mr. Blank was then ordered to go witli roe. I was not so ignorant as I appeared, but I do like to have somebody along to talk to when I go abroad. When I got home I sat down and thought the thing all over. I w T anted to go into this enterprise uuderstandingly. What was the main thing ? That was the question. A little reflection informed me. For two weeks the London papers had sung just one continual song to just one continual tune, and the idea of it all was “how to impress the Shah.” These papers had told all about the St. Petersburg splendors, and had said at the end that splendors would no longer answer; that England could not outdo Russia in that respect; therefore some other way of impressing the Shah must be contrived. And these papers had also told all about the Shalistic recep tion in Prussia and its attendant military pageantry. England could not improve on that sort of thing—she could not im press the Shah with soldiers; something else must bo tried. And so on. Column after column, page after page of agony about lioav to “impress the Shah.” At hist they had hit upon a happy idea—a grand naval exhibition. That was it ! A man brought up in Oriental seclusion and simplicity, a man who had nover seen anything but camels and such things, could not help being surprised and delighted with the strange novelty of ships. The distress was at an end. England heaved a great sigh of relief; she knew at last how to impress tlie Shall. My course Avas very plain, now after that bit of reflection. All I had to do Avas to go over to Belgium and im press the Shall. I failed to form any definite plan as to the process, but I made up my mind to manage it some lioav. I said to myself, “I will impress this Shah or there shall be a funeral that a, ill be worth contemplating.” I Avent to bed then, but did not sleep a great deal, for the responsibilities were iveighing pretty heavy upon me. At six o’clock in the morning Mr. Blank came and turned me out. I was sur prised at this, aud not gratified, for I detest early rising. I never like to say severe tilings, but I was a good deal tried this time. I said I did not mind getting up tolerably early, but I hated to be called day before yesterday. How ever, us f was acting in a national ca pacity and for a country that I liked, I stopped grumbling and Ave set out. A grand naval revieAV is a good thing to impress a Shah with, but if he would try getting up at six o’clock in the morning—but no matter ; we started. Presently we reached the sea and came to a stand far out on a pier ; and here was Dover and more history. The chalk cliffs of England towered up from the shore and the French coast was visible. On the tallest hill sat Dover castle, state ly and spacious and superb, looking just as it has always looked any time these ten or lifteen thousand years—l do not ktioAv its exact age, and it does not mat ter, auyway. We stepped aboard the little packet and steamed away. The sea was per fectly smooth, and painfully brilliant in the sunshine. There were no curiosities in the vessel except the passengers and a placard in French setting forth the transportation fares for various kinds of people. The lithographer probably con sidered that placard a triumph. It was printed in green, blue, red, black and yellow; no individual line in one color, but tho individual letters were separate ly colored. For instance, the first letter of a Avon! would be blue, the next red, the next green, aud so on. The placard looked as if it had the small pox or something. I inquired the artist’s name and place of business, intending to hunt him up and kill him when I had time; but no one could tell me. In the list ot prices first class passengers were set doAvn at fifteen shillings and four pence, and dead bodies at one pound ten shill ings and eight pence—just double price. That is Belgian morals, I suppose. I never say a harsh thing unless I am greatly stirred; but in my opionthe man Avho would take advantage of a dead per son would do almost any odious thing. I publish this scandalous discrimination against the most helpless class among us in order that people intending to die abroad may come back by some other line. Most of the shops in Osteiul seemed devoted to the sale of sea shells. All sorts of figures of men and women were made of shells; one sort was com posed of grotesque and ingenious com bination of lobster claws in the human form. And they had other figure made of stuffed frogs—some fencing, some barbering each other, and some were not to be described at all without inde cent language. It must require a bar barian nature to be able to find humor in such nauseating horrors as these latter. These things were exposed in the public windows where young girls and little children could see them, and in the shops sat usual hairy lipped young women waiting to sell them. It was an excellent hotel; the utmost care was taken that everything should go right. I went to bed at ten and was called at eleven to “take the early train.” I said I was not the one, so the servant stirred up the next door and he was not the one, then the next door and the next —no success—and so on till the re verberations of the knocking were lost in the distance down the hall, and I fell asleep again. They called me at twelve to take another early train, but I said I was not the one again, and asked as a favor that they would be particular to call the rest next time, but never I mini me. However they could not un derstand my English; they only said something in reply to signify that, and then went on banging up the boarders, none of whom desired to take the early train. When they called me at one, it made j my rest seem very broken, and I said if they would skip "me at two I would call myself—not really intending to do it, I but hoping to beguile the porter and de ceive him. He probably suspected that and was afraid to trust me, because when he made his rounds at that hour he did not take any chances on me, but routed me out along with the others. I got some more sleep after that, but when the porter called me at three I felt de pressed and jaded and greatly discour aged. So I gave it up and dressed my se;f The porter got me a cup of coffee and kept me awake while I drank it. He was a good, well-meaning sort of floun der, but readv a drawback to the hotel, 1 should think. Poor Mr. Blank came in then, looking worn and old. He had been called for in all the different trains, too, just as I had. He said it was a good enough hotel, but they took too much pains. While we sat there talking we fell asleep, and were called again at four. Then we went out and dozed about town till six, and then drifted aboard the Lively. Now the train was signalled, and every body got ready for the great event. The Belgian regiment straightened itself np, and some two hundred Flounders arrived and took conspicuous position on a little mound. I was a little afraid that this would impress the Shah; but I was soon occupied with other mtextwlo. The train of thirteen cars came tearing in, and stopped abreast the ships. Music aud guns began an uproar. Odd-look ing Persian faces and felt hats (brimless stovepipes; appealed at the carAvindows. Some gorgeous English officials filed down the carpet from the Vigilant. They stopped a long car with the royal arms upon it, uncovered their heads and dnlocked the car door. Then the Shah stood up in it and gave us a good view. He was a handsome, strong featured man, with a rather European fairness of complexion; had a mustache, wore spectacles, seemed of a good height and graceful build and carriage, and looked about forty or a shade less. He was very simply dressed—brimless stovepipe and close-buttoned dark green military suit, without ornament. No, not wholly without ornament, for he had a band two inches wide worn over his shoulder and down across his breast, scarf fashion, which band was one solid glory of fine diamonds. A Persian of ficial appeared in the Shah’s rear and en veloped him in an ample quilt—or cloak, if you please—which was lined with fur. The outside of it was of a whitish color and elaborately needle-worked in Per sian patterns like an India shawl. The Shah stepped out and the official pro cession formed about him and marched him down the carpet and on board the Vigilant to slow music. Not a Flounder raised a cheer. All the small fry swarm ed out of the train now. The Shah walked back alongside his fine cabin, looking at the assemblage of silent, solemn Flounders; the cor espondent of the London Telegraph was hurrying along the pier and took off his hat and bowed to the “ King of Kings,” and the King of Kings gave a polite military salute in return. This was the commencement of the excite ment. The success of the breathless Telegraph man made all the other Lon don correspondents mad, every man of whom flourished his stove pipe reck lessly and cheered lustily, some of the more enthusiastic varying the exercise by lowering their heads and elevating their coat tails. Seeing all this, and feeling that if I was to “impress the Shah ” at all, now was my time, I ven tured a little squeaky yell, quite dis tinct from the other shouts, but just as hearty. His Shahship heard and saw and saluted me in a manner that was, I considered, an acknowledgement of my superior importance. I do not know that I ever felt so ostentatious and absurd before. All the correspondents came aboard, and then the Persian bag gage came also, and was carried across to the ship alongside of ours. When she could hold no more we took some where about a hundred trunks and boxes on board our vessel. Two boxes fell into the water, and several sailors jumped in and saved one, but the other was lost. However, it probably contained nothing but a few hundred pounds of diamonds and things. At last we got under wg,y and steamed out through a long slip, the piers on either side being crowded with Flounders ; but never a cheer. A battery of three guns on the starboard pigr boomed a royal salute, and we swept out to sea, the Vigilant in the lead ; we right in her wake, and the baggage ship in ours. Within fifteen minutes everybody was well acquainted ; general jollification set in, and I was thoroughly glad I had come over to fetch the Shah. Mark Twain. DONE BY A LUNATIC. The Biggest Case of Emotional Sanity On Record—A Putnam County Offi cer Put Into the Utica Asylum by a Crazy Man. LFromj the Putnam County Courier.] Utica, June 25.—This morning I no ticed two of your citizens get off thee car at this place--Abraham M'ller and Samuel Berry. Glad to see anybody from home, I naturally hastened to give them a cordial greeting, after which Mr. Miller took me aside and said he was taking Berry to the asylum. Imagine my astonishment when Berry also topk me aside and informed me in a very con fidential manner that he was taking Mil ler to the asylumi. Perceiving no mark-- ed traces of in sanity in either, I was perplexed which to believe, or whether to believe either. After turning the subject over.iu imy mind once or twice, I resolved to stay with them and see the thing out. We first Avent to the hotel, procured some refreshments, and while there Berry called for pen and ink, say ing that he wanted to write home to his wife. Having prepared a letter, he call ed a porter, and dispatched him to the post office, as I then supposed, but, as subsequently appeared, he was sent to the asylum with ji letter, of which the following is a verbatim copy : Thursday, June 5, 1873. Superintendent of Insane Asylum: Dear Sir —ln about one or two hours from this time I shall bring to your in stitution for treatment a young man from Putnam county. His insanity has peculiar modes of manifestation, anil during lucid intervals is not perceptible at all. While on the cars last evening he abstracted from my pocket the papers given me by the authorities upon which to enter him in the asylum, and now as serts that he is going to lodge me in tlie institution. I thought I would write you in advance, in order that you may be able to properly estimate his talk when Ave arrive. Yours, truly, Samuel Berry. After dinner I accompanied the boys to the asylum, where we were met by the polite physician in charge and con ducted to the reception room. Almost as soon as we ware seated Miller rose to his feet, with quite as much dignity as any envoy extraordinary ever presented credentials to the court of a reigning po tentate. Drawing from his pocket Judge Wright’s order and accompanyingpapers, he handed them to the Superintendent, upon whose face gathered a pleasant but rather incredulous smile. After placing them on the desk he glanced at Berry, who returned it with a significant wink of the left eye. That silent but ex pressive language soon “settled the hash” of poor “Aby,” who was soon conducted to the apartment for new patients. In vain did he attempt to ex postulate and explain. . The doctor’s only answer was that he understood his case, aud advised him to remain quiet— that excitement was injurious and would only delay his recovery. Having at tended to our business Berry and I started for the depot. On the way down he explained to me the facts of tlie case aud said he would have a big thing on the Brewster boys when he returned. Deploring the uncomfortable position of poor “Aby,” and desiring to right mat ters as far as I could, I induced Berry to return to the institution with me under pretense of saying something to “Aby" before leaving. When we again reached'the asylum I explained the true state of affairs to tho superintendent, who seemed to disbelieve all of us. To extricate himself from the dilemma he telegraphed to Brewsters, and upon the receipt of the reply immediately ex changed the positions of the parties. PULL PARTICULARS OP THE RHETT--COOLEY FIGHT. j The Preliminaries—Quick Work on I the Field—The Scene Described by au Eye Witness—Bearing of the Principals—The Fatal Fire—The Re turn. Col. George W. Carter and Mr. B. Mcßca Self were selected as the seconds I of Judge Cooley, Col. Rliett being rep resented by Col. Charles Roman, his * brother-in-law, and Dr. Bruns, formerly of Charleston, S. C. On Sunday it was mutually agreed between the seconds that the meeting should take place after i the motion for anew trial in the case of | Hawkins vn. the New Orleans Printing | and Publishing Company had been | made. Judge Cooley, thoroughly en j grossed in his legal business, and eon i rarv. we learn, to the earnest solicita j tion of his seconds, made no preparation ! whatever. He had been suffering some ! what severely with an injured foot, and ! according to" the same story required all | of the time not necdssarily devoted to ! business to lest. Col. Rbett, who is represented as an excellent marksman, | we hear devoted some time to practice, ! making, we are excellent ■ shots. When the train stopped twelve or fif teen persons descended. lam not per sonallv acquainted . with»all. They seemed to be friend* of the two gentle men, but a majority came more m the capacity of spectators. I jxw their land ing it was intimated qwdfcij* by one of the seconds thqjk, acqoolitttf e I*™ B of the agreement, hodSßeTmt "hose im mediately interested should be admitted to the grounds, and, of course, in obe dience to this suggestion, a majority re mained quietly at the station house. The partv brought with them two col ored servants, who carried two sets of double-barrelled guns, the ammunition and other accoutrements. They moved to a spot between eighty and one hun dred yards distant from the station, and i about twenty vards to the right of the road, that is" on the side nearest Missis sippi’ Sound, which is probably a mile anti a half away. The site chosen is an ordinary strip of piny woods land, with little or no peculiar characteristics. Upon a toss Judge Cooley won the word and choice of position. And very shortly afterward Colonel Rhett was placed bv his second with his back to the rail road and, as seemed to me, near a pipe tree.’ Judge Cooler was placed forty yards with uis back to the bay, ‘and facing Col. Bhett. Two of the seconds then occupied positions facing each 'other, and eqnil-distant between the two contestants, but outside of the line of fire. The other seconds, I think, took positions near their principals, but I was so deeply interested in watching the others that I did not particularly ob serve them. The two gentlemen stood gazing at each other with the breeches of their shotguns drawn up to the shoul der, and the muzzles pointed to the ground, While Dr. Bruns, in a clear and audible voice, read the articles of agree ment which had been previously signed by the seconds. The Doctor took some little time in explaining clearly what was required of each, and seemingly was very desirous that no possible mistake should occur. So excited did I become, that I did not catch the exact words used, but my impression is the Doctor cried, “Are you ready ?” “Fire.” “One, two, three, halt.” At the words “ are you ready,” both weapons were slightly elevated, at the word “ fire” they were brought to a level, and between the words “ one” and “ halt” both weapons were dis charged. Judge Cooley, I think, fired at the word “ one,” but Colonel Rhett’s weapon was seemingly a little hard on the trigger, and was discharged between the words “ one” and “ two.” Neither party being hurt, the friends of Colonel Rhett demanded another shot, which was promptly accorded, and the seconds at once reloaded the pieces. At the second discharge the same for mula was repeated, aud both guns were simultaneously discharged. With a con vulsive turn to the left, Judge Cooley fell. The friends and spectators, who in the meantime had remained at the station, now approached. The seconds of both parties publicly proclaimed the fact that everything had been conducted in strict accordance with the terms of the written agreement, and without any attempt at unfairness on either side.— Saying this, they shook hands and part ed. On behalf of Col. Rhett, his sec onds tendered the seconds of Judge Cooley the use of a carriage, but it was declined, and that party retired in the direction of Bay St. Louis. When I reached Judge Cooley’s side I found him lying on his back in sensible, and gasping for breath. His face did not appear to be dis torted with pain, but be was evidently dying. The ball, a musket ball, one ounce, 13-100ths of an inch in diameter, penetrated his left side about the region of the heart, and ranging upward. Dr. Holliday was leaning over him, and ice and a little raw cotton were being ap plied to his wound, but it was evident that all medical aid was useless. He remarked, before I reached him, to Dr. Holliday, “lam shot in the breast.” These were the last words he spoke. He expired in a very few minutes. A messenger was dispatched to the neigh boring house for six yards of cotton cloth, with which they enveloped the body, and it was then borne on a door to the station, where it remained until the train to New Orleans arrived. The duel took place at thirty minutes past teu o’clock, and the train arrived at one. Remembering the scene as I do now, I am under the impression that tlie injury to Judge Cooley’s foot placed him at a terrible disadvantage. 1 observed that he sat down while the seconds were measuring tlie ground, and I do not think he could bear the weight of his body upon his foot without feeling acute pain. Both gentlemen, however, exhib ited the utmost coolness throughout, and not a nervous tremor from first to last could be detected in either. THE PARRICIDE. Termination of the Walworth Case — The End of the Case—Graphic Ac count of the Proceedings—Waiting for the Verdict—The Closing Scenes. New York, July 3.— Long before the Judge showed any signs of concluding his charge the jury had several times ; gazed wistfully at the clock, but the Court continued, and the jurors were fain to fan themselves frantically and rock desperately in their chairs, when at a quarter past four Judge Davis, without any warning, said: “ Noav, gen tlemen, I think that is all I have to say.” A sigh of relief was plainly au dible and everybody craned his neck to find out how long his Honor had really spoken. Mr. O’Conor, just before the jury retired, asked the Court to charge on certain points, and Judge Davis hav ing requested tlie jury to be specific in rendering their verdict, they filed out of the Court room at tAventy-fiye min utes past four. Judge Davis put on his hat and walked aivay, and the counsel immediately set to ivork to fill three carpet bags with legal documents that lay strewn about tlie desks. Young Walworth ivas led into an adjoining room, his little brother following. Then the ladies stood up and had a secret session, very deckled opinions being ex pressed, if facial expression is indicative of sentiment. Tlie Court room emptied slowly, but a number of persons anxious to secure desirable seats, so as to be near the prisoner when lie heard tlie verdict, remained and whiled away the time by smoking and chatting with each other. J udge Davis, before going home to dinner, left word that if not previously sent for lie would come down town again at 11 o’clock. When tlie jury had been out for two hous and a half a flutter of excitement ran through the Court room and corridors, and it was Avhispered that the jury had agreed.— Some unfortunate individual had ivan ilered up to tlie top story of the Court House, aud from the small room in which the jurors were locked up sounds of wrangliug and discordant noises were heard to proceed. Each juror was ad dressing liis fellow in a speech, and this betokened disagreement. A rumor to this effect spread among those in tlie Court room, aud another gentleman vol unteered to play the eaves-dropper in the Court House attic. Then came the report that the jury stood nine for mur der in the first degree and three for murder in the second degree, and that there was no possibility of agreement. This was subsequently ascertained to have been the condition of the jury for some time after being locked up. Shortly after eight o’clock a movement in tlie lobbies denoted that some decision had been arrived at, and the renewed activ ity of the Court officers betokened that Judge Davis was about to take liis seat on the bench. Slowly the procession entered, Iris Judge, accompanied by Mr. Sparks, the clerk, leading. Then the jury filed into their seats and everybody awaited the coming of young Walworth. In a few seconds Frank, his mother and brother had taken their accustomed seats. Con trary to expectation, the female friends of the family came iuto Court, followed by the prisoner’s counsel. During au unbroken silence, while every one held his breath, the clerk called out suddenly, “The jurors will answerto their names. ” Young Walworth turned deadly pale, then turning in his chair, he braced himself up and gazed fixedly at the jurors. His mother raised her veil, dis closing a set of features white as marble, and with her lips tightly compressed, looked resolutely at the faces of the twelve men who were to decide the fate of her son. The little boy craned bis neck, and,'with staring eyes and hands tightly grasping the chair in front of him, seemed unconscious of everything passing around. In a firm voice each juror answered to his name, and then the question ‘ ‘ Have you agreed upon a verdict ?” was asked. The foreman, in his nervousness, answered, “We have— a verdict in the second degree ?” “Os what?” “Os murder!” Mrs. Walworth, who had sat rigid while this conversa tion took place, turned in her chair and smiled upon her son. Frank’s breast heaved, and, taking three long breaths, he threw his head back suddenly and seemed about to faint. He recovered himself, however, and looked straight at the Judge, expecting his sentence. Charles O’Conor, with his head bowed, advanced, and when within a few feet of Judge Davis asked that sentence might be deferred. The Court was inexorable, but General Davies and ex-District At torney Garvin joined in the plea, and Assistant District Attorney Rollins hav ing interposed no objection, Frank Wal worth was led from the Court room to a carriage and driven to the Tombs. New York, July s.—Frank Walworth was to-day sentenced to the State prison, at Sing Sing, at hard labor, for life Judge Davis, in addressing the prison er, said he had fearful doubts whether i his case did not justify a conviction of murder in the first degree. The prison er stood the trying ordeal with firmness, without moving a muscle of his features, I and left the Court with his mother im- , ! mediately after the Judge had conclud- I ed. i New York, July 5, night.—While on i his way to the Tombs after sentence j had been pronounced, young Walworth | retained the self-collected appearance by j which he was characterized through the ! trial. He remarked to the deputy ■ sheriff, “I am glad that I did not have i to endure the long lecture I had expect , ed that Judge Davis would inflict upon I me. I thoroughly understand my posi | tion, and did not desire any instruction | in relation thereto, i simply wish time I to arrange my affairs, and I shall then { submit myself to my fate with all the , equanimiiy I can command.” The dep j uty sheriff had previously received in structions to take three convicted crimi -1 uals to Sing Sing on Monday, and it would be impossible for him to return j for Walworth before Wednesday. Be ! sides this, the sheriff is disposed to ! grant the wish of Walworth s friends i and relatives, who are extremely anxious ; that he should not be removed before, in order that he may settle bis affairs. Mr. O’Conor, it is understood, intends to move at an early day for anew trial, or for such farther proceedings as may give the case anew phase; and, in addi * tion, to move that Walworth may be ! permitted to remain in the Tombs till j the questions raised shall have been de- I termined. |ION POINT.

Dr. Irvine Reviewed., Edith's Chronicle & Sentinel : In the very interesting historical sketch of Dr. Irvine a hidden chapter of Georfia history is brought to light. But » not the Doctor mistaken in some of his dates ? Getrge Gulphin was an Indian trader, an Irishman, and had his home at Silver Bluff, on the Savannah, at a trading port called Gulpliinton ; but not at so early a date as even 1700, which would itseif iave been nearly a century after tlie tine of the last of the Stuarts. He Avas in active business as late as the last treaty made by Sir James Wright with the Indian! in 1771, at which time the coun ties no»v included in all Northeast, and a largo part of Middle Georgia, were purchased. Mr. Gulphin died in 1780. Some of his descendants are among the most worthy citizens of Augusta now. It is possible that on Mr. Oglethorpe’s arrival, in 1733, there was a colony in Jefferson who followed Mr. Gulphin, but if so they could not have been there long. In some researches into the early history of Georgia I have been much interested in that young colony of Presbyterians who were the first sece ders in the State. I think the first Pres byterians—though there was a colony of Highlanders at New Inverness, in Da rien, in 1735, from whom sprang the Melntoshes. the McLeods, tl\e Kells, as the Bothwells and Lowrys and Mcßen nies and Whigliams and Carswells— came from the Jefferson settlement. I should be glad if Mr. Phillips, the pastor, or if any one, could give the exact dates and a fuller history of this settlement. We are certainly under obligations to Dr. Irvine for his entertaining letter. Truly yours, G. G. Smith, Marietta, Ga. A New Enemy to the Cotton Plant. Union Point, July 6, 1873. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: I send you down to-day in a bottle a small lot of a neAV enemy to our cotton plant. They are all the same family— the egg, larva or worm, chrysalis and bug stage. These were gathered and brought to me from a field of Mr.Wm. R. Gunn’s, a planter of close observation, who re sides near here. He says he has been watching them for several days back in their habits and their manner of de struction to the young forms and shapes. In their bug stage they cut into the shapes and then deposit the eggs; this so wounds the tender form that it dies, dries up and falls off; the egg hatches in a feiv days, and then in its larva or worm stage it feeds upon the leaves and forms three or four days and then goes into the chrysalis stage, and in a few days there is a bug again to reproduce. Their numbers seem to increase so rap idly that Mr. Gunn thinks they will to tally destroy the crop, unless something should arrest their present increase and work of destruction. I never have seen any worm of the kind before. Perhaps some of your friends can tell something of this new family and suggest some re lief. Our crop is looking tolerably well now as to weed, but I never saw as few forms on the same sized cotton before at this season of the year. We are quite three weeks behind with our cotton crop in this county. There is not one cotton field in ten that you can now find a bloom in it. Many seasons, by this time, we have had grown bolls. Our corn crop is only tolerably good. Yours, J. B. Hart. THE CENTENNIAL. Philadelphia, July 6.—The follow ing is the form of a note addressed by the Secretary of State to represeuta of foreign Governments in the United States : Department of State, / Washington, July 5, 1873. j Sir—l have the honor to enclose for the information of the Government a copy |of the President’s proclamation, announcing the time and place of hold ing an international exhibition of the arts, manufactures and of the products of the soil, proposed to be held in the year 1876. The exhibition is designed to commemorate the declaration of the independence of the United States on the one hundredth anniversary of that interesting and historic national event; at the same time to present a fitting opportunity for such display of the re sults of the art and industry of all nations as will serve; to illustriate the great advances attained, and successes achieved in the interest of progress and civilization during the century which will have then closed. In a law provid ing for the holding of the exhibition, Congress directed that copies of the proclamation of the President, setting forth the time of its opening and the place at which it was to be held, to gether with such regulations as might be adopted by the commissioners of the exhibitions, should be communicated to the diplomatic representatives of all nations. Copies of those regulations are herewith transmitted. The President in dulges the hope that the Government of will be pleased to notice the subject, and may deem it proper to j bring the exhibition and its objects to ■ the attention of the people of that coun try, and thus encourage their co-opera tion in the proposed celebration ; and j he further hopes that the opportunity afforded by the exhibition for the inter change of national sentiment and friend ly intercourse between the people of both nations may result in new and j still greater advantages to science and industry, and at the same time serve to | strengthen the bonds of peace and friendship which already happily snb- j sist between the Government and peo- 1 pie of and those of the United j States. I have the honor to be, sir, with the highest consideration, your j obedient servant, [Signed] Hamilton Fish, Secretary State.

A BABY MURDERER. A Colored Child Murders a Colored Babe. Vicksburg, Miss., June 28.—Probably one of the most anomalous murders in the annals has just been perpetrated in our vicinity, the murderer being a child six years old. A few miles from this city, at a place called Dalkeith, there lives a colored family on the plantation of one Mr. George Humphreys. This family has one child, a boy of about six years, as above stated, who has been a general favorite among the colored peo ple, and is, withal, very sprightly and precocious. Petted by his parents and caressed by the neighborhood, he seemed to have entertained a lively sense of his own privileges, and was jealous if he saw any particular attention bestowed upon a juvenile acquaintance. Lately a little stranger, a baby, colored like him self, was introduced to his house, and drew much of the attention of the family from him. The little six-year old made several demonstrations of disapproval at the favor showed to his baby friend, and consequently now and then fell a victim to some wholesome castigation. This ex asperated him the more, and he secretly nourished in his bosom a vindictiveness that had a tragic termination. The day before yesterday his parents went out to the field to work, and he was left in the house while the baby was asleep in the cradle. A horrible thought at once struck the little fiend, and he went out, returning with a large stone, which he could carry only with difficulty. Stand ing over the cradle he dropped the stone several times on the baby’s head, batter ing the skull fearfully, and producing death on the instant. The young mur derer, conscious that he had done wrong, drew the dead body from the cradle, dragged it to the woods, and secreted it among the bushes. Return ing to some of his playmates he told them “Ibeeve I tilled Dohnny,” and brought them to the place of conceal ment, where the little innocent lay, pre senting a most ghastly appearance. The parents, of course, were half distracted, but the little fellow talks over the mat ter with the air of one who had per formed a gallant deed. SUICIDE. Startling Act of Self-Destruction by a Young. Beautiful and Aristocratic Widow—Sad Scene in a Rural Dis trict of North Carolina. Hillsborough, N. C., July I.—One of the saddest and most startling cases of female suicide, caused by remorse, that ever occurred in Orange county took place on Sunday morning last, not more than four miles from these ancient town, the county seat. At that point lived Mrs. Mari* Murray, an accom plished, handsome and wealthy young widow, whose husband, William Mur ray, died of consumption about two years ago. Previous to his demise Mr. Murray had employed as a sort of over seer, or “ cropper,” as they are termed here, a man of low associations and former desperate character, named White, who was married, and who re sided on the premises, in one of the out houses. After the death of her husband Mrs. Murray continued to employ White in the same capacity, and the latter be came assiduous and very attentive to the young widow and her three small chil dren. Gradually an intimacy sprang up between Mrs. Murry and White, which, in less than a year from her husband’s death, became so notorious as to occa sion some “scan, mag.” gossip among the neighbors, and this reaching the widow’s ears she directed White to build another house for himself at a distant point on the plantation, so as to remove any syspicions that might be entertained on account of his immediate presence on the premises. This White did, but the inti macy between him and the charming widow continued, his visits being con ducted clandestinely, but with more regularity and frequency than ever. In fact, the removal of White’s residence rather served to afford more and better opportunities to carry on their illicit intercourse. Matters had progressed in this way for some time, when rumors of her husband’s unfaithfulness and Mrs. Murray’s intimacy with him reached the ears of Mrs. White, and a flame of jealousy was kindled in the mind of that lady, who, besides being low bred and ignorant, is a virago and termagant of the most approved order. Her tongue set going once the scandal soon became widespread, in consequence of which the aristocratic young widow experienced the deepest mortification. This feeling, however, soon gave place to one of fiery indignation, and Mrs. Murray, pistol in hand, marched to the house of Mrs. White and threatened summary ven geance if she did not desist in using her name in such a scandalous connection with her (Mrs. White’s) husband. But the widow found she mistook her woman, for Mrs. White, instead of being at all intim'idated, flung back in the widow’s teeth all the charges she had previously made with increased vehemence, and then and there dared her to put her threats into execution. Completely non plussed and backed down, the widow had to pocket her pistol and retire in a state of utter discomfiture. From the date of this encounter the illicit relation of the widow and White, which before was only a mere rumor, became an es tablished fact, and the deepest regrets were expressed upon all on sides that a lady of such high social standing, so young, beautiful and accomplished, should fall a victim to the wilds of so degraded and disrejjutable a character as White. The sequal and crushing consequences, however, of her downfall were yet to come. Some two weeks since, and about two mouths after the scene with Mrs. White, it became fearfully ap parent to the unfortunate widow and her paramour that she was pregnant, and this so alarmed them that they were driven almost to their wits’ end to devise some means by which the evi dence of their guilt could be concealed. Look which way they would there was no escape from the prying eyes and talkative tongues of their inquisitive neighbors, and at last, in sheer despera tion, they decided upon the horrible plan of producing an abortion, thus add ing an infamous crime to their previous guilt. White at once procurred drugs, which he gave to Mrs. Murray, and, the expected result being achieved, they were so far successful. But the end was not yet reached. From that moment the fallen young widow became ap prehensive of exposure, arrest and im prisonment and the victim of the most poignant remorse. So terrible was the stings of conscience that she made fre quent attempts to take her own life, and she had to be constantly and closely watched. In the meantime White fled the country, for he would most assuredly have been shot by some indignant rela tive of Mrs. Murray’s had he remained. This made her more wretched and fearful still. She first tried lsudanumn to put an end to her existence, but was detect ed by a brother-in-law in time to save her. The same relative foiled her in an attempt to cut her throat, and a third time she was caught in the act of try ing to hang herself. It was now abso lutely necessary that someone should be constantly with her, and a strict sur veilance was maintained over her. On the night of Saturday last she retired with a Mrs. Brown, a neighbor, both occupying the same bed. About two o’clock on Sunday morning Mrs. Brown awoke and missed Mrs. Murray. She at once gave the alarm, and, a light being procured, search was made for the missing woman. After looking every where else they at last went up stairs to a garret, where, horror-stricken, they beheld the body of Mrs. Murray sus pended by a hank of yarn from a hook in the wall. If she had been cut down at once she might, in all probability, have been resuscitated ; but the ter rified inmates ran for the neighbors, and before assistance arrived life was extinct. She had stood one foot upon a chair, the other on a box, and when she had fastened the yarn to the hook and around her neck she dropped be tween the chair and box. KINO CHOLERA. The Man With the Black Valise—Fear ful Mortality in Gallatin—Reports From other Places. [From the Gallatin' Examiner.] During the prevalence of the epidemic here our estimate of the population re maining is 1,500. In this we are sus tained by the opinions of the citizens. The deaths by cholera, strictly within the corporate limits, to this writing, (Wednesday, July 2), have been an even hundred. We have, therefore, lost one in every fifteen, or six and two thirds per cent. This is an appalling figure, and shows a larger mortality in Gallatin than elsewhere. It goes far beyond that of Calcutta, where in the sickliest year it is only two and a half per cent. At Nashville from 1833 to 1843, after the advent of cholera, it was 4.56 per cent. In 1866 it rose to nearly 6 per cent. This above is the total mor tality, inclusive of cholera. If an in habitant of Gallat a could have foreseen on the Ist day of Tune last that one per son in every fifteen would be lying in a grave, he would have been appalled at the fearful picture; and yet it is true. And we are glad that our absent friends were not here to witness the terrible scenes of the past month, the deserted streets and closed houses; the general gloom that shadowed the entire town; the almost painful silence that brooded over all, and broken only by the rumble of hearses over the stony pavements, or the lamentations of the stricken sur vivors.

Address, York, Pa. 4w ;W ater Tlie startling drawback on nearly all medicina agents has ever been that in their process of purga tion and purification they have also debilitated the system. To obviate this difficulty physicians have long sought for an agent that would Purge, Purify and Strengthen AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME. Their research has at last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the fondest desires of the medical faculty, and which is justly regarded as the most important triumph that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This im portant desideratum is Dr. Tutt’s Vegetable Liver Pill, "Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt hu mors and unhealthy accumulations from the body, and yet produces no weakness or lassitude whatever, but on the contrary tones the stomach and in vigorates the body during the progress of tlieir opera tion. They unite the heretofore irreconcilable qualities of a STRENGTHENING PURGATIVE and a PURIFYING TONIC. Dr. Tuft’s Pills are the most active and search ing medicine in existence. They at once attack the very root of diseases, and tlieir action is so prompt that in an hour or two after they are taken the pa tient is aware of their good effects. They may be taken at any time without restraint of diet or occu pation ; they produce neither nausea, griping or de bility, and as a family medicine they have no rival. Price, 25 cents a box.

Aw- II BLOOD PURIFIER || ls the most powerful cleanser, strengtliener and remover of Glandular Obstructions known to Materia Mediea. It is specially adapted to constitutions “worn down” and debilitated by the warm weather of Spring and Summer, when the blood is not in active circulation, consequently gathering impurities from sluggishness and imperfect action of the secretive organs, and is manifested by Tumors, Eruptions, Blotches, Boils, Pustules, Scrofula, &c., &e. When weary and languid from overwork, and dullness, drowsiness and inertia take the place of energy and vigor, the system needs a Tonic to build it up and help the Vital Forces to regain tlieir recu perative power. In the heat of Summer frequently the Liver and Spleen do not properly perform their functions ; the Uterine and Urinary Organs are inactive, producing weakness of the stomach and intestines and a pre disposition to bilious derangement.

Tutt’s Column. she Liver! A FEW WORDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MILLION l —_o — A DISORDERED LIVED in tho source of a _ largo majority of the ills with which tho human family ih aluicted. Thero ia no organ of tho body, tho normal functions of which are ho OHHontial to health. Upon its healthful action depends tho proper assimilation of the food and drink which supports and nourisheii tho body. It iw therefore evident that a de rangement of its functions must entail disas trous results upon the entire system. A BILIOUS STOMACH. The bile is the natural cathartic of tho bowels into which it passes just below the stomach, being conducted there bv its produc ing organ the liver by a pipo called a duet. No bile properly belongs to tho stomach ; hut if it is excessive in quantity, or viscid or thick in quality, or if the bowels are obstructed or costive, then it Hows back into tho stomach, causing nausea, retching and vomiting of yellowish, green, or even black bilious matter, This is commonly called “bilious stomach,” “ bile on the stomach,” or a “bilious attack.” Sometimes this condition is comparatively mild, but of long duration ; or it comow iml goes according to varying circumstances of diet or health. In sncli cases thero may bo only a headache and sickness at the stomach, with an expectoration of bitter phlegm, but usually, also, the whites of the eyes become yellowish, and tho complexion loses its fresh, healthy color. Many persons live for weeks or months in this condition, and at length Itys pepsia, with all its train of distressing con comitants, is fully developed. Sick Headache, Flatulence, variable appetite, dullness and drowsiness, dizziness, bitter taste in tho mouth, dryness of the throat and interna) heat, ]>al pitation of tho heart; sour stomach, with a raising of the food ; a bloated or full fooling about tho stomach, which iH often attended with pain and tenderness; colic pains ; consti pation of tho bowels, alternating with attacks of Diarrhceo ; Files, nervousnesss, coldness of tho extremities; dullness, alternating with hot Hashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings. This frightful catalogue of diseases invariably follow a deranged state of the liver, and it bo hoovos every one who would enjoy life to adopt prompt measures for its restoration to healthy action. For this purpose Mercury, in the form of Calomel or lllue % Fill, is the medicine usually resorted to. This powerful drug, though for the time helping the liver, does no lasting good, has to be resorted to more and more frequently, and proves in tho end more dan gerous to the system than the disorders it is intended to subdue To obviate this difficulty, physicians have for a long time sought for a medicine that would act specifically on the liver, restoring its nor mal functions, and at the same time bo exempt from the dangerous effects of mercury. Their research lias at last been rewarded by the dis covery of vegetable substances which, when properly combined, exert a must powerful heal ing influence upon that organ. It is j untily stylod the most important triumph that Phar macy has ever achieved. Those substances bjo contained in a concentrated form in Dr. Tlilt's Voidable Liver Tills, Which causes thorn to act with wonderful eor taiuty and rapidity in relieving and curing the diseased liver and those distressing maladies which attend it. While they are active and searching, they are mild and gontle in tlieir action, and can lie taken by the most delicate person. They produce neither nausea, griping or debility, nor require change of diet or occu pation. By tho timoly use of Uioho Bills much pain and suffering may he averted, and life, which was before a continuous misery, may he ren dered happy by tho restoration of vigorous health and sound bodies.
