“O BIRDS THAT FLIT BY OCEAN’S

O birds that flit by ocean's rim.
And make yonr plaint to siledt sky :
O waves that lap horizons dim,
Ye shall be tranquil by and by 1
O rose-tree, giving jietals fair,
In some lost garden lone to lie—
Weep not because your stemps are bare,
They shall re-blossom by and by 1
O singer, singing in the night—
Tam not and curse the heavens and die ;
Your heritage is peace and light.
Y’on shall be richer by and by 1

THE SANDPIPER.
Across the narrow beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I,
And fast I gather, bit by bit.
The scattered driftwood bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
The wild wind raves, the tide runs high.
As up and down the beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I.
Above our heads the sullen clouds
Scud bla .-k and swift across the sky ;
Like silent ghosts in iqisty - broods
Stan t out tho white light houses high.
Almost as far as eye can reach
) I see the close reefed vessels fly,
As fast we flit along the beach,
One little sandpiper and I.
I watch him as he skims along
Uttering his sweet and mournful cry,
He starts not at my fitful song,
Or flash of fluttering drapery.
He has no thought of any wrong.
He scans me with a fearless eve.
Staunch friends are we, well tried and strong,
The little sandpiper and I.
Comrade, where wilt thou he to-night,
Wnen tho loosed storm breaks furiously ?
My driftwood fire will barn so bright !
To what warm shelter canst thou fly ?
I do not fear for thee, ihough wroth
The tempest rushes through the sky;
For are we not God's children both.
Thou, little sandpiper, and I ?

THE VOICE OK THE BELL.
BY EMMA.
Bell as ye ring,
What do yo sing.
Mellow and bright,
Full of delight,
-Dropping a smile as your voice takes itsflight ?
I tell of the bride in tier spotless white.
Os the vows that are whispered soft to-night,
Os an altar o’er shadowed by serapbims' wings,
Os hearts where devotion and innocence clings;
Os a life that is by sunshine and
love,
A life fitted type of the angels above.
What do ye tell,
O, tolling hell,
Solemn and slow
Soft and low,
Filling the air with your measure of woe ?
I toll out the years of tho little span,
By God allotted to clayey man,
1 tell to the world another's gone
To tho ‘bourn whence a traveler lias never re
i umed.'
I tell them of fading, of death and decay ;
The stamp of the mortal is passing away,’
1 tell in my chime
Os the passage of Time,
In its fading away
The weakness of clay,
The withering breath
Os the monster DeathN
Tho sweet babe bom,
And its young life gone.
The vesper lav
In the twilight gray,
“I sing of the birth of the Saviour King-
Good tidings on earth to men I bring.
I tell of the bridal, birth and pall,
I tell of tho love that is over all."
Evergreen Cottage, June 14th, 1874.
TOMORROW.
Dreaming in the golden twilight,
HIIh a maiden young and fail.
While the shadows slowly lengthen,
Building castles in the air;
Dreaming of the coming m rrow,
Brightest day in her bright life—
All her love and trust rewarding
In tho holy title—wife.
Dreaming sits a widowed mother,
Aged not by time hut care;
Like tho maiden, she is busy
Building castles in the air;
Dreaming of the coming morrow—
Day long looked for. now so near—
And she murmurs, “Ere another
Sunset Charlie will be hero.”
Dreaming sits a student lonely
In hiM attic, mean and bare;
Though a mail, he, too. is building—
Building castles in the air;
Dreaming of the coming morrow,
And the contest for tho prize;
“Wha* though others strive, I care not,
Mine it is," he proudly cries.
Dreaming sits a soldier youthful,
111 his hand a tress of hair;
Gazing on it he is bui ding—
Building castles in the air;
Dreaming of tho coming morrow,
When the din of battle o’er,
Viet r crowned to her who gave it,
He'll return to part no more.
To-morrow cometh, and tho maiden,
Louoly for a false love weeps;
While the widowed mother’s darling
’Noath tho bine wave soundly sleeps;
The student, disappointed, sees
The prize snatched by another’s hand;
The soldier, ill the battle slain,
Fills a grave in far off land.
TWO NEW SONNETS FROM ItOS
SKT 11.
Thames Valley Sonnets.
i. —WINTER.
How large that thrush looks on tlio bare thorn
tree !
As wmii of such, throe little months ago,
Had hidden in tho leaves and lot none know
Have by tlio outburst of their miustrelsy.
A white flake here and there—a snowy-lily
Os last mglit'H frost -our nakod flower-beds
hold;
And for a rose-llowor on the darkling mould
Tho hungry redbreast gloanis. No bloom, no
bee.
The current shudders to its ice-bound sedge :
Nipped In their bath, the stark reed one by
one
Flash each its clinging diamond in the sun ;
’Neath winds which for this Winter’s soveroigti
pledge ,
Shall curb great king masts to tlieoeoan s edgo
And leave memorial forest kings o’erthrown.
II.—SPRING.
Sort-littered is the row-year’s lambing-fold,
And in tho hollowed haystack at its side,
Tho slieperd lies o’ nights now, wakeful-eyed
At the ewes’ travailing call through the dark
cold. ,
The young rooks cheep 'mid tho thick caw o
the old.
And noar unpeopled stream-sides, on the
ground,
By her spring-cry tlio nioorlieon's liost is
found
Where the drained flood-lands flaunt their
marigold.
Chill are the gusts to which the pastures cower.
And chill the current where the young reeds
stand
As green and close as the young wheat on
land :
Yet here tho cuckoo and the cuckoo flower
Plight to tlio heart Spring's perfect imminent
hour,
Whose breath shall soothe you like your dear
one’s hand.
Dante G. Rossetti.
A BROKEN STRING.
BY B. KENNER.
An old, monotonous guitar,
With time-twanged tone and stretched out
strings ;
And then, behind the window bar.
An age-worn man that sit* and dings
The old-time music, near and far.
And sadly sings, and sings, and sings.
While night lisps all her sonmial wings. (
I know not what the song may be,
But of the sing r this t kuow :
He came from far across the sea.
Where only bauny breezes blow—
The sunny land of Italy,
That never chills with Wiuter's snow-
Many and many years ago.
I
The stram swells out upon the night,
Across the space it reaches me ;
Through all the hush of fading light,
Spanning the stretch of snowy lea.
Ana towards the heavens, star bedight.
It swells, it swells, the melody—
An old-time song of Italy.
What master-hand controls the strings ?
Soon, his old lingers cam ot play
This matchless melody that rings
The startled bells of memory ;
His voice is not the voice that sings:
He is away. away. away.
In cloudless, sunny Italy !
Hark ! how the weird music rings—
No more forlorn and sad he roves !
Mark how the tender pathos clings—
He stands beneath the sky he loves !
Back to his laud, on memory's wings—
At home in his own citron groves,
'ireading agaiu the paths he loves 1
Again he breathes the perfumed air.
Agaiu beholds the old blue sky ;
Agaiu his comrades greet him there :
Joy chokes his song, tears dim his eye—
“Ohi Laud so bright, so pure, so fair,
Thv ventured lulls encompass me'
O, Italy, my Italy
“Long vears have now their recompense—
See how their lengthened shadows dee !
No thought shall ever call me hence.
No ocean stretch twnt thee a..d me :
Thy smile bewilders every sense :
l"ve waudered. oh. so long from thee.
My beautious. blue-skied Italy !
“O joy ! joy ' to feel thy b-eath
Upon mv brow and iu my brain
And were my song a so g of death
Glad would I wake the sad refrain
It were i-nch peace at last to be
Clasped in thy loving arms again,
And feel thy kisses smother me
My love, my love, my Italy l”
A broken string—the wild notes cease ;
Among the shades the echoes dee :
No more the song of jo and peace.
No more the song of Italy ;
My eyes peer out upon the gloom,
But only darkness do I see :
I kuow the heart is in its tomb
That sang She song of Italy !
Drummers infest the sacred precincts
of Elberton once in a while. They do
not tarry long.
Gainesville has the champion quilt
pieoer of the State. She is young, pret
ty and amiable.
“ BANCO. ’’
One of the Fancy Dilates on tlie Bank
er Business— va Interesting Descrip
tion by an Experienced Operator-
How Fools ana Their Money Part!
Company.
When my friend the pickpocket, du
ring a late interview, had narrated his
experiences jn that line of business,
writes a contributor of the New York
Times, he next entertained me with an
account of his doings in what bp called
the “bunker” business:
METHOD OF PLAYING IT.
Just now it is the most popular device
for fleecing the stranger who ventures
into the metropolis, and the unsuspect
ing can be best warned by giving the
story as nearly as possible in the pick
pocket’s own words.
“You see, sir,” he began, “it is a
good deal safer and more*profitable
than picking pockets. If you are ‘col
lared’—l mean arrested, sir—you are
sure to get off with something light, but
tbe chances are ten to one against yonr
being ‘collared.’ The‘sucker’stands in
with you, as it were, and is almost cer
tain not to ‘squeal’—that is, not to com
plain to the police. In this way its like
the panel game, which is the meanest as
it is the safest kind of robbery. Then
banco pays big profits. It don’t take a
big ‘mob.’ I explained to you a bit ago
that by ‘mob’ we mean any numoer of
men working a job together. There is
only the dealer, the ‘steerer’ and his pal.
These three, with the sucker, make a
quiet little party of four, and the sucker
is skinned for the equal benefit of the
other three. Why do we call the fellows
we swindle suckers ? Really, I don’t
know, unless it is because they arc so
much like the fish of that name which
swallows any bait that comes along. We
need a sort of an office in playing this
game, but its not expensive, for a dingy
back room, in a side street, that can be
got for $25 per month, is better than big
apartments on Broadway. Then we want
a few old drawings of the Havana lot
tery, two sets of dice, and a moderate
supply of money, say S7OO or SBOO. Hav
ing all these things fixed, we go on our
‘graft.’ We always go to one of the
first-class hotels to lay for suckers, and
we never pick up the wrong man. I
never did, and I don’t believe any of
ray ‘pals’ ever did. There is no trouble
in telling strangers from city men. It
isn’t because they
STARE AT THE STORE WINDOWS
And signs, for lots of city men do that;
nor is it always their dress, for some
times the countryman swaggers along in
the latest style. But there is always
something about him he can’t disguise
which says he’s a stranger, and it’s al
most as certain that he shows whether
he’s got money or not. Sometimes we
pick up a sucker who’s broke, but it
isn’t often. Well, as I was saying, the
big hotels are our ‘plant.’ Now sup
pose you and I are on the ‘graft.’ No
body, though, sees us speak to each
other or in any way recognize one an
other, but for all that each of us keeps
a sharp watch on the other. Maybe
we’ll hang around an hour or two with
out finding a sucker. Sometimes we
don’t find one at all. If we do find him
I give you the ‘office,’ that is, I give
you a signal you u derstand to watch
sharp. I then keej jay eye on the suck
er until he goes int the street. I step
briskly up in front of him as if I had
just turned up, and hold out my hand
with great cordiality, saying : ‘My dear
Dr. Smith, I’m delighted to see you.
When did you come to town ? How did
you leave all the folks in Zanesville ?’
I say all this so quickly that the sucker
hasn’t a chance to open his mouth until
I get through. Even then he isn’t usu
ally very fast about it. Yon see I’m a
person of gentlemanly appearance and
address, and the sucker don’t know at
first exactly what to make of it all.—
When he does recover from his astonish
ment of course ho says his name isn’t
Smith. Generally, he is very stiff about
it., and says very grandly : ‘Sir, you are
mistaken ; I am not Dr. Smith, sir.’
Tnen comes the finest point in our little
game. It used to be that the sucker
would always follow this up by giving
his name and place of residence, but
lately theyv’e got cursed ‘fly,’ a~d it has
to be
WORMED OUT OF THEM
In most cases. If he don’t give it, why,
I say : ‘Really, I beg your pardon, sir;
I would have sworn you were Dr. Smith;
I never saw such a striking resemblance
in my life, Now, really, sir, if it’s not
asking too much, 1 would like to know
your name, so that 1 may tell Dr.
Smith, the uext time I see him, who his
double is.’ This always fetches the
sucker. He gets friendly all at once and
says : ‘Certainly, sir, lam Mr. Thomas
Brown, of Brownsville, Texas, or what
ever it may be. That’s all we want to
know. I beg pardon of the sucker, and
turn away while he goes off, and in a
minute has probably forgotten all about
me and Dr. Smith. Now, you have
been standing near all the time, and
hoard him give his name, or, if you
didn’t, you push against me by accident
like, and I throw it at you in a soft
whisper, without attracting any attent ion
from the bystanders. Then you go off
in an ordinary way. If the sucker lias
gone up street, you go down half a
block or so, and then cross over. You’ve
taken particular notice of his features
and dress, so that you can’t mistake
your man. As you go down, you look at
a list of national banks yon always carry
in your pocket, and get the name of the
President or cashier of a bank in the
sucker’s town. When you get on the
other side of the street you walk up
briskly, keeping your eyes sharp on the
sucker all the time. You pass him, and
when you get about a half a block above
him you cross over and walk down street
and meet him. When you come up to
him you stop all of a sudden; then you
seize" him by the hand, which you shake
like an old "friend, and say: ‘Why, my
dear Brown, I’m delighted to see you.—
How are all the folks in Brownsville ?’
You must be particular about the last,
for it’s that * which always gets the
sucker. But you musn’t give him a
chance to speak yet, for you see he
don’t know you—how could he, when he
never set eyes on you before—and you
say: ‘Now that’s too bad; I see you
don’t know me. Why, I am Jones,
nephew of Ephraim Jones, Cashier of
the National Bank in your town.
don’t you remember
When I was at your place ? I was a
youngster then, but I remember you
perfectly.’ All this goes to make you
‘solid’ with the sucker; if you are the
uephew of a bank cashier you must be
somebody, and if you have carried him
iu your mind so long you must be a
devilish clever fellow. But he is forced
to say he don’t remember you, and you
think it’s too bad that he should have
forgotten you so entirely. But yon are
determined he shan’t ilo it again, for
now youv’e met him once more you’ll
give him cause to remember von, which
you are pretty sure to do, but not in
i the way he "thinks. You ask him to
1 take a drink and ten to one he does it,
' for these suckers are nearly always ready
to drink at somebody else’s expense. If
he goes into a bar room with yon your
‘graft’ is easy after that ; if he don’t you
! propose a cigar, and if he don’t smoke
von insist it's yonr lunch time, and you
drag him off with you. Wherever you
take him you open on him at once. Yon
do all the talkin.g for it won’t do to give
lrim a chance, except to answer ques
tions, so that you may have the ‘office’
as to his business, family, friends, and
all that, so that in a little time you
know almost as much about him and
the place where ka lives as he does him
self. Then you get to talking about
yourself, and you always make it appear
that, youv’e been a wouderful lucky fel
low. ’ You have always made mouey_ at
everything yon put your hand to. You
can't even buy a lottery ticket without
drawing a prize. Then a sudden thought
strikes you. You say : ‘By the by,
I've got "a ticket .now that’s drawn a
prize of some sort; I must go down to
tire office and see what it is ,sud get tire
money.’ Then you draw out yoqr pock
et-book, which shows up well, and yon
take out the tieket and
SHOW IT TO THE SUCKER.
His curiosity is excited, for he never
saw anything of the kind before. Your
ticket is one in a past drawing in the
Havana lottery, and not worth a cent,
but the sucker don’t see the date and
don’t ‘tumble to it.’ I never knew a
ease where one did. Then you say yon
must go to the office, and you ask him to
go along with you, for after you get
your money you want to go up town
with him and show him the sights.—
The sucker always goes. Sometimes he
makes one excuse after another, but you j
insist and he always goes.
“Well, you get him to our office, |
which is iixed up like all the lottery
places in town which have ‘Exchange’
on the windows. You lay yonr ticket
down and ask the mau behind the coun
ter, who is the third ‘pal’—l’ll call him
the dealer—if that has drawn a prize.
The dealer says he'll see, and be looks
over a list of prizes pasted on the vail at
the back of the room, and of course be
hind the counter. He’s very careful
about it, but at last he says : ‘Yes, sir,
you have drawn a prize of $291. if yon
want the money, I’ll give it to yon,’al
though as a rule all prizes are cashed at
our maiuoffice in Wall street.' lou say
of course that you will take the money,
and, opening a drawer, he takes out a
big ‘bunch of soft’ and hands you ov r
the amount. Then h* 6ays that as you
I are in luck, you had better take another
ticket for the odd dollar, and determine
it by the dice. You agree to it, end of
j e utrse you win. By this time the sucker
is generally ready to bite, but if he don’t
j you go through the thing again and
I Win again. By this time he is always
sure to bite. But by this time the game
requires a large sum of money, and he
puts it tip. The dealer fixes the amount
by what he thinks the sucker has. The
first throw, no matter what it is, the
sucker wins. Sometimes, if we think
Re has a big pile, we let him win a sec
ond time, but it’s not often. Always
the second or third time we play him
double or quits, and
‘ring the dice on him ;’
That is, we exchange the true dice
which he has been playing with for
false onps, and, pf course, without his
knowing it. Then we say to him that
he has an excellent chance to w in, tor
he can lose on no number bnt 28, and
it’s almost impossible he can throw it.
His money is on the counter, and so is
yours. He throws, and he throws 28,
"for the false dice wont count anything
else, no matter how they fall. Then
the dealer sweeps his money into the
drawer, remarking its very singular he
should have thrown 28, and pitying his
bad luck. Then he says: ‘Now, gentle
men, I would like to have your names.
We always take the names of our pa
trons for reference in order that people
may know that this little gambling
transaction is done on the square.’ He
lays particular stress on ‘gambling,’ and
that settles the sucker. He is always in
a hurry to get steerer not to say any
thing about the affair, and he always
promises, of course, and, what’s more,
he keeps it.”
This, in brief, was the story my
friend, the banco-dealer, late pick
pocket, told me as we sat over our
brandy and water, and I wondered that
it should be possible for any one to be
despoiled by so transparent a swindle.
A FLORIDA SIEGE.
What Came of a Matrimonial Trade
on the Suwanee.
[New York Sun Letter.]
As I came down stairs the other morn
ing I saw Captain Frank Sams, a noted
hunter, seated on the edge of the stoop,
swinging his feet into a rose bush.—
“Look here,” said ho, “you think you
know something about Florida murders.
The Lang and Cochrane stories ain’t a
patch to the beauties of the Suwanee
country. Out there they make a whole
sale business of it. Some time ago two
men named Locklier and Mundy lived
near the mouth of the Suwanee river.—
They raised cattle for a living. Lock
lier had an average looking woman for a
wife, while Mundy was a widower with a
mighty fine daughter. The two men got
quite thick, and used to cow-drive to
gether and eat in each other's houses.—
After a time Mundy took a fancy to
Locklier’s wife, and Locklier took a
fancy to Mundy’s daughter. So they
struck up a trade. After palavering
around, Mundy offered to give his
daughter for Locklier’s wife and twenty
head of cattle. Locklier took him up
straight, and the bargain was made.”
I asked the Captain what kind of girl
the daughter was.
“Well,” he replied, “I’ve heard she
was a plump little filly, about eighteen
years old. Locklier’s wife was a little
skinny, but she was a good driver and
worked well iu harness with her hus
band. The daughter never made any
objections to the bargain, and the wife,
like most of the women, was glad of
anything for a change. So Mundy
drove off the twenty head of cattle and
the old woman, and Locklier shook him
self down in the cabin with the daugh
ter. Things were all snug. Well, in
about two weeks Locklier's wife got
sick of it. She declared that her hus
band was bad enough, but he was an
angel alongside of Mundy. She went
back home, and swore that she wouldn’t
live with Mundy any longer, under any
circumstances. Then Mundy came up
to Locklier’s house and wanted his
daughter back. The daughter, by this
time, had fallen in love with Locklier,
and yon couldn’t have driven her out of
his cabin with a pack of dogs. Lock
lier said sh» shouldn’t unless the old
man drove back the twenty head of cat
tle. Mundy said he’d see Locklier in
hell before he brought back the cattle,
and threatened to shoot him if he didn’t
turn over his daughter. Locklier told
him to shoot and be dod-drotted. t o
they parted bad friends.”
THE CART-WHEEL BATTERY.
I interrupted the Captain by asking
him what the neighbors thought of such
proceedings. “Well,” he replied, “they
didn’t have many neighbors. What
they did have were like themselves.—
They looked upon the whole thing as a
bona fide bargain, and if one or the
other got cheated it was no outsider’s
business. As I was saying, Mundy de
clared war. He threw up a sort of
parallel around Locklier’s house, and
bombarded it with a double-barreled
shot gun. All day long lie laid around
the house, waiting for a shot. Locklier
was afraid to go out or even show his
face at the window. For hours he would
sit, on a chair with his old rifle across
his knees and watched his door. When
ever the latch moved he would blaze
away without waiting to find out who
was coming in. Two or three times lie
came near shooting his wife when she
was out after a pail of water. You see
he knew Mundy meant business, and lie
wasn’t going to let him get a twist on
him. Mundy skirmished around the
house until dark. Then he traveled
homo and got a good night’s sleep; but
by daylight Locklier again found him
entreuched outside the door.
“This arrangement lasted several days
and Locklier began to get tired of his
imprisonment. One night he took a
couple of stout cart wheels standing
near his cabin, boarded them in on three
sides with two-inch plank, and when
Mundy put in an appearance next morn
ing confronted him with this movable
battery. The tables were turned. The
old man had to fall back. Locklier fol
lowed him up the road with his battery
shelling him at every jump. Mundy
was driven into his headquarters, and
his antagonist took the part of besiiger.
A dozen shots were exchanged before
sundown, and at dark Locklier drew
back to his house under cover of the
battery. Before the roosters stopped
crowing he was again moving up the
road toward Mundy’s house, shelling
his way every few rods, and driving the
old man and his shot gun to cover.
THE MOONLIGHT TRAGEDY.
“Well, the war was kept up in this
way about a week, but at last it had to
come to an end. One bright mooulight
night Locklier thought he would quietly
wheel his battery up the road and see if
he couldn’t catch Mundy outside of his
fortifications. So he laid his rifle before
him and set the wheels agoing. He had
shoved them about a quarter of a mile,
and was just turning a curve in the road
when he heard a scraping noise on his
left. Mundy had flanked him. By the
light of the moon he could see the old
man on his knees behind a fence, shov
ing the barrels of his shot gun between
the rails and getting his head down to
take aim. Locklier had no time to lose.
He snatched his rifle and sighted it.
They fired together. Mundv fell dead
with a rifle bullet in his head, and Lock -
lier tumbled into his battery with
eleven buckshot in his breast. He lived
about four hours, and declared if he
hadn’t been listening to the crickets he
would have seen Mundy before the bat
tery passed him. The wife and daugh
ter buried the two men, divided the
twenty head of cattle and got all the
property.”
BURNING AT THE STAKE.
Mexico, May 22, 1874.—Wierus, the
celebrated de'monogrupher of the six
teenth century, in his “Pseudemonar
chia Daemonum,” gave no place in his
organization of the Court of Hell to am
bassadors from North America or Mexi
co. England had hers, called Mammon;
Russia hers, Rummon; Italy hers,
Rutgin; France hers, Belphigor, &c.;
but for the now Republics of the North
American Continent none were assigned.
Whether because they were new in the
category of peoples or because lie was
disposed to consider us generously and
kindly does not appear. Had he lived
during the last or the present century
he might have been less lenient. Did
Paracelsus really mean it when he said,
“the air is not so fuil of flies in the
Summer as it is at all times of invisible
devils." Was jt so when during the
reign of Francis X., more than 100,000
witches were put to deatu> or during
the last eeuturv, when, in the Commun
wealth of New England, in a single year
tweutv were executed through the in
stigation of Cotton Mather and his
reverend associates? Is Mexico to-day
any better or any worse off ? The reader
ean iudge. The example set by the dis
tinguished lights at Salem, Mass , has
its followers in Mexico, although the
difference iu the results may become
marked. Cotton Mather was not ex
ecuted for his perseutiou of the old wo
men and children witches, while his
imitators in Mexico are likely, to suffer
the penalties oLthe laws of this country
imposed upon murder.
WITCHES EXECUTED by BURNING —OFFICIAL
ACCOUNT OF Tills PUNISHMENT.
The following translations of the pflj
cial communications to their superiors
from the officials of the Mexican village
of Concordia, State of Sinaloa, will cer
tainly astouish dm reading public of
this dav audage, as they are the Gover
nment narrations of the arrest am, bnrn
iiiff of two unfortunate creatures
of being witches. It is but just to say
that the educated people of this country
are horrifi. and at the occurrence; and that
the State and Federal authorities have
arrested the guilty parties and are now
trying them lor the crime of murder.—
How fortunate for Cotton Mather and
his fanatical companions that they did

REPORT OF THE EXECUTION.
St. John of Jacobo, April 10, 1874.
On the morning of the 7th of this
month the witches, Diego Lugo and his
son, G. Porras, were executed iu the
public square of this place, having fail
ed to care the bewitched Sylvester
Zacarias, as they had compromised
themselves to do. They were to have
been executed on the night of the 6tli.
The execution was ordered at ten o’clock
at night, the witches being placed in the
centre of the bonfire and a square being
formed of sixty men, armed with Mexi
can knives. The place itself was then
encircled, when it was ordered that the
persons who had at different times as
sisted the witches should light the tire,
which was done immediately. Soon af
ter the fire had commenced to blaze the
witches cried out, “Mr. Judge, put out
the fire and we will give up our idols.”
An order was given, and immediately
carried out, to extinguish the fire and
loosen the witches; whereupon the mul
titude present commissioned Mr. Dami
an Lerma to proceed with the witches to
their house and receive the idols which
they offered to give up, which was done,
the latter handing over a little poueli
shaped loadstone and the stones from
the sea, enveloped in cotton and paper,
which were deposited in the Court. At
the same time the witches denounced as
accomplices Joseph M. Mendoza, Fran
cisco Mendoza, and their father, Rafael
Mendoza. The people, indignant at
such acts, asked that
THE EXECUTION OF THE WITCHES AND THE
BURNING OF THE IDOLS
They had presented should be carried
out, which was done as I have already
announced. In the moment of his
burning the witch, Geronimo Porras,
told his mother to give up the other
three idols, shaped like monkeys, which
she had. Diega would not give them
up, but looked frowningly upon her son
for having done this. He then de
nounced tlie daughter Dior.isia, calling
upon her to give up the idols, but she
refused. The witch Joseph N. Bonilla
was held in order that he might cure
the‘bewitched Sylvester Zacarias, he
having offered to bring medicines to
cure such evils. I send the burned
idols to your gelatura (office) for your
examination. In regard to the cure of
the bewitched I will advise you in due
time. The case was a very sad one, M.
Prefect, but necessary in order to re
strain the evils which are being com
mitted from time to time; for notwith
standing the execution I learned yester
day that the accused, Joseph M. Men
doza, said that “ sooner or later we
would pay for all this.” So you see, M.
Prefect, the scoffing of such persons ;
but in the meantime I have taken my
precautions.
The accused Mendozas fled from fear.
Why have they fled, if not on account of
their evil doings ? Because the rope
which is clean does not need any soap.
This is the manner in which I have
passed the morning mentioned, and of
which I placed you in knowledge.
Independence and liberty, April 10,
1874. J. Moreno.

Concordia.
THE MUBDEREP.3 ON TRIAL.
As already stated, the superior au
thorities have arrested, and are now
trying, these murderous fanatics. ;
A REAL ROMANCE.
The Life of the First Anglo-Saxon in
Japan—Strange Tale of a Ship
wrecked Seaman —How William
Ward Became a Prince iu tlie
Orient.
Twelve miles from Yokohomo, down
Mississippi bay, says a correspondent
writing from Yeddo, Japan, to the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, is the
town of Yokosko. It is at the head of
a little land-locked harbor and has tlie
most beautiful surroundings imagina
ble. The scenery of the whole bay on
either side of this little inlet reminds
one of the “Thousand Islands” in the
St. Lawrence river, only the shore-line
and the groups of islands rising more
abruptly and much higher out of the
water, aud are covered with a richly va
ried tropical vegetation. The island and
the main land are all crowned and cov
ered wich’groves of evergreen trees. In
the distance to the west the Wakoni
range of mountains is plainly seen, and
towering above all other points is Ftisi
yama, the highest mountain in Japan.
Yokosko is a town of the old order of
things. Here the Japanese have their
naval station, with capacious machine
shops, foundries and docks. Across a
lesser inlet is the old village of Hemi
mura, a fishing town, and as old, for
aught that is known, as the fisliries of
Japan. On a liill-side above the village
is the temple of To-ko-san. It is a Bud
dhist temple and has the carved stone of
lions and dragons and shaven-bearded
priests, gilt images of Buddha, and
LESSER DEITIES.
It is like all temples in Japan, em
bowered in a beautiful grove, and there
is enough of the beautiful in the sur
roundings to incline any heart to wor
ship the giver of such beauty. From
this temple a winding path leads up to
the crest of a high, rounded hill, from
which is spread before you a picture of
intense and varied beauty—the wide
sea, studded with green islands, the
long, high shore-line with deep indenta
tions of inlet and harbor; lofty mountain
ranges and deep valleys. Here, in the
grove crowning the hill, midst fir,
cypress, palm and bamboo trees is the
grave of William Adams, the first Anglo-
Saxon ever in Japan. He must have
been a remarkable man. In the whole
history of the Orient no other stranger
has arrived at such position and power,
os exerted such an influence over a
strange pvople. Adams was a native of
the county of Kent, England. His oc
cupation was sea-going. He served in the
English navy in the olden days of the
“Virgin queen,” and held the position
of master of a vessel in the war with
Spain. He must have been with the
bold buccaneers who hunted Spanish
treasure aud merchant ships on every
sea. While on shore in a little village
surrounded by the green hills of Kent,
he had met a blue-eyed, fair-haired
Saxon girl. They loved, plighted their
troth, and after he had taken a voyage
or two they were wedded. Between the
sea and shore several years passed hap
pily and prosperously. Two children, a
boy and a girl, were theirs, both the
image of the mother, with the same
glimmer of gold in their hair and the
same blue of the Kentish sky in tlieir
eyes. But times grew bad. The wars
had ruined trade, English ships lay
idle in their harbors. Holland, Spain
and Portugal had then the trade and
commerce of the world. Adams re
ceived an offer from the Dutch East In
dia Company to pilot a squadron of five
merchant vessels to Asia. He bade
farewell to England and his fair-haired
wife and children, and repaired to Hol
land, whence he set sail in 1598.
After nearly two years of untold hard
ships, with only one ship left of the five,
and onlv five able-bodied seamen, in the
greatest distress for the want of food
and water, thev sighted the coast of
Japan. On the 16th day of April, 1600,
they made a harbor in the province of
Bungo, in the Southern part of Niphon.
The people flocked around the ship. By
signs Adams made their wants known.
The siok were taken on shore and ten
derly cared for. Soldiers were stationed
on the ship to protect the cargo. Four
or five davs elapsed when some Portu.-
aese arrived from Nagasaki, where they
had a trading station. They alone had,
of all European people, since
THE WONDERFUL ACCOUNTS
Os Marco Polo, found the Islands of
Japan. The Portugese had come to the
Orient as traders and missionaries. Be
tween them and the Dutch there was
every reason for rivalry. They were
warring with each other for the trade
and wealth of the Indies. One was
Jesuit and the other Protestant in re
ligion The Poitngese having been sent
for by the Prince of the Province of
Bungo, they represented that the Dutch
were pirates in commerce and heretics in
relieion. and should be beheaded for
either and crucified for both. This
being more responsibility than the
Prince wished to assume, he referred
the whole matter to the Tycoon, whose
capital was then at Osaca, 80 miles
north The Tycoon sent at once for
Adams. On the way Adams ascertained
the feeling oi the Portugese ana w hat
they were anxious to accomplish, and he
also saw bv the headless trunks and sus
pended bodies how frequent capital pun
ishments were in Japan, and for what
slight offenses they were in use. Ijeyas
was thp Tycoon. He was the first of
the Toeagawa family, vhich ruled after
him for 250 years. Through 2,500 years
of written history he is considered their
“ Alfred the Great” by Japanese histo
rians. When in the presence of the
Tycoon, Adams found
A MILD-MANNERED, UNPRETENDING MAN,
Who questioned him thoroughly of Eng
land and Holland, of their commerce
and trade and their wars, and especially
of their object in coming to Japan.
After the interview, which lasted sev
eral hours, Adams was placed in con
finement. He was kept there forty
three days and nights. With tbe vis
ions of the ghastly, headless trunks and
bodies suspended on crosses, having
been pierced by spears, his sleep could
have been neither sweet nor refreshing.
But Iyevas was too great and too shrewd
a man to be used by the Portuguese Je
suits, and Adams had told so straight
forward a story, and exhibited such an
intimate knowledge of the history of
Europe, the trade and commerce of its
different nations, and of the various arts
and sciences, that Iyeyas was strongly
impressed with him. To the Portu
guese importunities he answered that he
saw notuing in the conduct of the
strangers to condemn, but much to com
mend, and ordered the release of Adams.
He sent their ships to Yeddo and told
the whole crew to content themselves in
Japan, as they could never be allowed
to leave it. Adam was taken into the
employ of the Government and he
taught Iyeyas mathematics and naviga
tion, and how to build, launch and rig
large ships. Adams wrote home each
year to his family by the annual Portu
guese ship, but" failed to receive any
answer. He repeatedly requested of the
Tycoon permission to go his farnjly, and
was as as often told that he
MUST BE CONTENT HERE.
As permission to depart could never be
allowed, To induce him to stay and in
terest him in the work of ship-building,
teaching navigation and military tactics,
he was given a large tract of country
with a great number of departments,
over which he had absolute authority.—
He was ranked among the nobility next
to the Princes of the Empire. He was
called Aujin, the Japanese name of pilot,
aud a part of l'eddo was, and to this
day is, called Aujin-Cilo, or District of
Anjin. In this way twelve years had
elapsed since lie had left England, and
although he had written as often as con
veyance presented itself, no word came
of his friends or family. And so hope
died in him of ever seeing the shores of
his native land again, or ever looking
again in the eyes of those he loved. He
saw nothing before him but a life in Ja
pan. He went again to his work of
teaching and ship-building for the pur
pose of drowning thoughts of home and
loved ones. About this time au alliance
with a noble family was offered him.
With all other hopes dead, he accepted
it. By this marriage he had two chil
dren, a boy and a girl. Not far from
this time a Spanish ship, with an em
bassy from the King of Spain, arrived
in Japan. Although they bore magnifi
cent presents from Philip 11. to the ty
coon, they vere
REFUSED AUDIENCE.
And permission to trade was denied
them. Shortly afterward a Dutch ship
came to trade, and although their cargo
was small, and they had no presents’
through Adams’ influence they were
conceded the most liberal privileges,
and thus through this stranger was laid
the foundation of the Dutch trade, which
lasted through three centuries of Japan
ese exclusiveness and hate of foreigners.
In 1613 or 1614 an English ship arrived
under command of Captain Saris.—
Adams obtained for them even more
liberal terms of trade than he had for
the Dutch. An English factory was
built, the goods landed, and all the
steps taken to build up English inter
ests. After having been here a year or
more the ship was about to sail for Eng
land, and now was presented to Adams
a trial such as comes to few mortals.
Iyeyas, after fifteen years of persistent
refusals.for him to go home, and as per
sistently held honor and promotions be
fore him—after having induced him to
marry aud raise a family here—suddenly
qnd voluntarily sent him permission to
go home for
SOME GREAT SERVICE RENDERED.
How lie must have been torn by his
conflicting desires and interests! On
the one hand this land of Orient, which
hail been his home for 15 years, its pic
turesque beauty, with its soft air, arid
its tropical vegetation, must have taken
a deep hold of his heart. The people of
Japan had received him, a shipwrecked
sailor, and made him a lord in the land.
He had been treated and loved by them
with a depth and warmth unknown to
the cold climate of his native England.
One of their dark-eyed daughters had
given him her heart, and all the best
years of her young life. Two children,
with hair as black as a raven’s wing,
called him father, and climbed over his
knees. All the fortune accumulated in
long years was here, to be left behind
him, and with the best years of his life
and his youthful vigor gone, he was to
go out into the world empty-handed.—
Moreover, no word of tidings had
reached him of his lamily for seventeen
years. The shadow of the dark-winged
angel might have covered them all with
in that long, weary time, or, worse still,
he might find that his wife, weary with
waiting and watching for his return, at
least, when no tidings came, hope being
dead within her, had given his place in
her heart to another—whispering in
other ears the sweet words which has so
often been his, aud that his children,
his blue-eyed and fair-haired boy and
girl, had learned to call a stranger by
the fond name of father. Like Tenny
son’s Lotos Eater he could say :
“Dear is the memory of my wedded life—•
And dear the last embraces of my wife
And lie .* warm tears ; but all hath suffered
ct ange;
For surely now my household hearth is cold,
My son inherits me, my look is strange,
Aud I should come like ghosts to trouble joy.”
On the other hand, what if his Eng
lish Mary cherished the hope that he
would come again ; and what if she kept
every word and look of his enshrined in
her heart; and if she with his children
still knelt, morning and evening, and
lifted up their supplications to Him who
holds the great waves and the fierce
winds in the hollow of His hand, to pro
tect their wanderer and bring him home
to them again ? These conflicting emo
tions must have wrung a proud and sen
sitive spirit, such as that of Adams. He
who had looked danger and death in the
eye in many a wild storm and wilder
battle strife without faltering might well
have broken down and wept like a cliiid
under this trial.
But his bitter conflicts of loves, of
doubts, of desires and of hopes, lie
buried with his ashes under this stone
column, now before us, and in the ob
livion of three silent unspeaking centu
ries of Japanese night. He decided to
stay with the certainties of the laud of
his adoption rather than take the chances
of his native land. The ship departed,
and as her white sails receded from
Adams’ sight, he had put all that was
dear to him in his youthful and better
days behind him forever.
He went on with his work—perfected
ship building, drilled the Tycoon’s sol
diers, taught the arts and sciences, edu
cated his children, elevated and better
ed the condition of his retainers and
followers. He embraced the Buddhist
faith, built this embowered temple of
To-ko-san, and twice a year he came
here to worship. And here, after a
third of a century of great usefulness
aud influence, he was buried with im
perial pomp and ceremony, loved, hon
ored and mourned by the people of au
empire. Here his people have come,
generation after generation, io this day,
to offer up prayers fbr his soul at a lit
tle shrine, which has this inscription in
Japanese characters:
“The brighest b iss is surely thine.
O ! thou who bravest at this sliriue !"
TIIE SYRACUSE ACCIDENT.
Corrected List of the Killed by the
Failin'! Church Floor—Nineteen Per
sons Mostly Young Ladies aud Chil
dren w*ere Killed by the Accident.
Syracuse, June 24.—The accident was
caused by the giving way of a joist that
supported the floor. The joist ran from
both sides of the room to a cross strin
ger, the middle of which was snpported
by iron rods from the roof. The string
er gave way, pulling the ceiling and roof
down upon the p ople and precipitating
them into the room below. The work
of recovery was exceedingly slow, as it
had to be done in the dark and it was
feared everv moment that the walls
would fall in.
Later. -The Central Baptist Church dis
aster proves to have been fully a3 serious
as telegraphed last night. The bodies of
fourteen persons killed have been re
covered aud farther search this morning
shows that this is the number of persons
killed outright. Several persons are so
severelv injured that they will probably
die. The number of minor cansualties
is nearly or quite one hundred, among
them about a dozen persons with broken
limbs and ribs. The cause of the disas
ter was defective construction of the
building. The supporting truss was
composed of planks spiked together.
The excitement in the community con
tinues very great.
Latfb.—Up to 1 o’clock this evening
two additional deaths have occurred.
Several of the injured will be erippled
for life,
There is in human nature a certain
element of childishness which delights
in anything absolutely absurd and gro
tesque, the gratification of winch ap
peals alike to the greatest and tbe stEall
est capacities, to the greatest as a relief
from the gTaver occupations of life, to
the smallest because it is the realization
of their idea of the humorous, and also
because, in the langhter which moves
both, they feel a bond of pommon sym

overflow of the Mississippi river, and a
joint resolution authorizing the issue of
army rations and clothing to the desti
tute people on the Tombigbee, Warrior
and Alabama risers. Five hundred thou
sand dollars have been appropriated.
This is an amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. Alcorn sub
mitted an amendment, placing the con
trol of the levee system of the Mississip
pi river under the Secretary of War, and
appropriating two million dollars to car
ry on the work, Buled out of order.
The river and harbor bill was resumed.
West, from the Transportation Commit
tee, submitted an amendment providing
for a board of live engineers, to be
appointed by the President to make a
survey of the month of the Mississippi
river, with a view to determine the best
method of obtaining and maintaining a
depth of water sufficient for the pur
poses of commerce, either by a canal
from said river to the waters of the Gulf,
or by deepening one or more of the nat
ural outlets of said river. Agreed to.
Ransom moved as an amendment to
increase the appropriation for the im

Spencer, of Alabama, called up the
House bill relating to the Circuit Courts
of the United States in the State of
Alabama, which was discussed at some
length, and passed. The Senate then,
at 3:30 o’clock Sunday morning, ad
journed till 11 o’clock Monday.
The House Committee On Appropria
tions was in session to-day considering
the Senate’s amendments to bills making
appropriations for sundry civil expenses
and for rivers and harbors, so as to
present their report to-morrow morning
for the action of the House. The only
other general appropriation bill pending
between the two Houses is that making
appropriations for the Post Oflice De
partment. The Senate has appointed a
committee to confer with that to be ap
pointed by the House on disagreeing
amendments. The prospect is that the
above mentioned bills will be definitively
acted upon by both chambers to-mor
row.
Clerks were engaged to-day engrossing
numerous bills and otherwise transact
ing business pertaining to Congress.
During yesterday about fifty bills, most
of them of a private character, were
presented to the President for his ap
proval.
The committee on conference on the
Geneva Award Distribution bill lias not
yet bee;} able to agree, and the probabili
ty is it will go over till the next session,
with many others of a public character.
It is remarked by persons long obser
vers of the closing scenes of Congress,
that the recent night sessions, though
somewhat noisy, were less disorderly
than heretofore toward the end of a
session. Copious supplies of lemonade
and iced tea were furnished in the ante
rooms. With the closing hours of Con
gress the determination and energy of
the lobby grow stronger. Old and fa
miliar faces are seen at the doors in
earnest renewals of appeals to Congress
men to make final efforts in behalf of
their claims for the last time. The lady
lobbyists are not in great number, but
they are the most importunate. Many
of the Congressmen have already made
arrangements to leave Washington on
the earliest trains after the adjournment.
A few of them left to-night.
The currency bill has reached the
President. The general opinion is he
will sign it. The President with the
members of the Cabinet was at the Capi
tol yesterday attending to business and
will be there to-morrow.
The Senate will have an executive ses
sion before adjournment, to dispose of
pending nominations. Immediately on
the meeting of the Senate, to-morrow,
Frelinghnysen will call up the House
bill for the execution of Federal laws in
Utah, in effect abolishing such features
of the Territorial judiciary as interfere
with their enforcement. This, together
with Ramsey’s post route bill, will
probably be passed with but little dis
cussion.
A resolution, providing for a survey
of Raiford’s Land Locked Water
Road passed the Senate last night. It
will probably pass the House to-mor
row.
Washington, June 22.—The Senate
passed the tariff bill> with the amend
ments recommended by the committee.
The House has agreed to the report of
the conference committee on the Ge
neva award bill.
The House disposed of the Senate
amendment to the Sundry Civil Appro
priation bill and to the bill to amend the
tariff and revenue laws, and sent them
to the conference committee.

Mv Dear Sir —As I expressed to you

regret to me that yon should have felt
such a course necessary. You are the

’ THE GAG LAW.
What Carpenter Says.
New York, Juue 24. —Senator Carpen
ter publishes a long letter this morning
in regard to the so-called “Carpenter
Gag Law,” and says an accurate state
ment in regard to this matter will satis
fy every journalist who reports the
truth, and will diminish the force of the
vituperation uttered by those of the
profession who do not. The law of
libel is no more unfavorable to the press
than the statute against 1 irceny is un
friendly, to the people. One perplexes
thieves the other liars, but. neither is a
terror to honest, men, and this bill is no
.more injurious to publishers than every
law must he which looks to an impartial
adinYiistration of just ice. He, knows no
reason why the Dist rict of Columbia
shall he excepted from.the operation of
the general law or why a merchant
should object to Courts of that District
while making no objection to the Feder
al Courts in other Territories and States.
He says it is a fundamental principle in
the jurisprudence of all enlightened
countries that every trial ought to take
place as near as possible to the place
where the cause of action arose. Not only
for the convenience of witnesses, hut to
secure a jury in the vicinage. In cases
arising out of commercial transactions,
and in other mere transitory actions,
this principle cannot always be observed.
In many of the Western States import
ant branches of business are conducted
by resident, agents. For instance, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company might
lease and operate a railroad in Wiscon
sin or in Idaho. A party injured upon
such a road ought to have a suit to try
the liability of the company where the
wrong was committed and where the
witnesses reside, and ought not to be
compelled to go to Pennsylvania to re
cover for the injury received in Idaho,
where a New York capitalist chooses to
do business.
LETTER FROM OXFORD.
[special correspondence chronicle
AND SENTINEL. ]
Oxford, Ga., June 22, 1874.
Perhaps a short letter from Oxford
will prove interesting to some of your
many readers. For the last week or two
there lias been some excitement in Col
lege about the senior appointments,
there being a variety of opinions as to
the result. However, all fears and anx
ieties were completely removed on last
Friday, when the following appoint
ments were made: W. W. Lewis (first
honor), Greeneslioro, Ga.; N. T. Burks
(second honor), Henderson, Texas ; li.
H. Lewis (third honor), Greeneslioro,
Ga.; S. L. Smith (fourth honor), Ox
ford, Ga. Speakers—A. F. Barnett, At
lanta, Ga.; W. M, Crow, Henderson,
Texas; W. E. Keener, Augusta, Ga.; E.
R. Kiunebrew, Lexington, Ga.; J. M.
Myers, Macon, Ga.; J. B. Park, Greens
boro, N. C.; T. Smith, Greenesboro,
Ga.; W. 11. Wimberly, Maryland. The
commencement this year promises to he
quite a success in every particular. With
regard to the commencement sermon it
is only necessary to state that it will he
preached by Bishop Marvin. Monday
morning will be devoted to Sophomore
speaking. One of the most interesting
features of commencement will be the
champion debate on Monday night be
tween the Few and Phi Gamma Socie
ties.
The salutatory on that occasion will
bo delivered by W. E. Keener, at your
city, after which will follow debate on
question, which ip, “Should Government
Prohibit the Sale and Manufacture of
Liquor.” Messrs. Crow, Lee and Lovett,
of Few Society, will advocate the affir
mative, and Barrett, Burks ancj W.
Lewis, of Phi Ganma Society, the nega
tive. On Tuesday morning the Junior
speakers will hold forth and immediately
after Junior speaking the Sophomore
prizes will be delivered by Hon. Geo.
F. Pierce, Jr. Tuesday evening Attieus
G. Hay good, D. D., will address the
Alumni. Wednesday will he commence
met day and then the degree of “A. B.”
will be conferred oti twenty-four grad
uates. Hon. Thomas Hardeman will
address the Literary Soeio y Wednesday
evening. Wednesday night will be set
aside for the benefit of those who de
light in "“soft talk.” It is useless for
ns to say that those who attend the
Emory commencement will enjoy a
literary treat when it has already been
stated that Marvin, Ilaygood, Hardeman
and Pierce will take part in the exercises.
So much for commencement, now a
word about crops. The wheat crop this
year around Oxford was splendid, and
although the cotton suffered from the
drouth, it is now growing finely. Col.
David Dickson is ahead of the season as
usual, and comes forward with cotton
stalks from three to five feet in height.
