Colquitt was serenaded at the Central Hotel last evening, at balf.pa** eight, o'clock. A large crowd gathered in frertit of the hotel. Loud calls were made for General Colquitt. In response to the call the distinguished Georgian appeared upon the balcony of the hotel and delivered a brief address. He premised by saving that he had no intention of ' tasking a speech, but wonld merely give those who ha 4 called upon him a little talk. The great duty for the government and for individuals at the present tirne was economy. It was needed everywhere. It bad been charged that the ladies were eztrava gaut, but if the money spent for to bacco and whisky was put together it would far mote than counterbalance all that spent by-the fair sex. A national campaign was approaching, and it be hooved th ■* Democratic party to bend every energy to the battle. Especially was this the case in Georgia. The op posing party seemed determined to make a harder fight id thistitate in the com ing campaign than any time during the past eight years. The Democracy should therefore be united. Mississippi and Alabama were once more free, and he hoped that they would ever continue so. The speaker was frequently applauded. Lyiul calls were made for Eton. John H. James. Mr. James was not present, having left for Bavanuah on the Central Railroad train. Calls were then made for Col. J. D. Matthews. In response to the call CJol. Matthews appeared and addressed the orowd. Luorakoun Yield of ( urn. | Cohqnbia i s. C.) Kegister.] We have been accustomed to regard Dr. J. W. Parker’s drop of two hundred bushels and twelve quarts of corn ou a single acre us the largest ever made in any conntry. It has been so regarded for a long time. Bnt the ‘Count rj/ Gen tleman, an agricultural jonrnal, publish ed at Albany, N. Y., makes the follow ing report of a crop grown (we believe) the last season in Indiana. Dr. Parker’s drills were thirty inches apart. It will be noticed that those of Mr. Lake were three feet: Elias It. Lake, of Marion county, took premiums on corn at the Indiana State Fair, as follows: Fur one acre, 263 bushels; tire art#es, 247 bushels per acre; ten acres, 23JT busffels per acre. The soil was sand and loam, based on clay, a river bottom ; the one acre was plowed ten inches deep and planted in drills three feet apart, ancltnercly plowed cut with shovel plow three times ; the five acres were plowed six inches deep and planted in hills three and a half feet each way,' plowed out with a shovel plow four times hoed once; the ten acre piece was plowed six inches deep, and had the same cultivation as the five acres. The corn was measure! by weight, and wonld probably shrink con siderably iu frying. Dkatu of Dr. Louis A. Cohmick. — We Hud the following in the Homer Iliad, of Homer, La.: Died, in Homer, La., on Thursday, April 27th, 1876, Dr. Louis A. Cormiek, aged 32 yenrs. Dr. Cormiek had resided in Homer for a number of years, where he was not only greatly admired, but universally beloved He was of first class parent age; was of good blood; had been well raised and carefully aud thoroughly educated, and was an accomplished phy sician and an accomplished aud pure hearted gentleman—combining the sim plicity of the child with the ripe and rich traits of the thorough man. If an unseemly thought ever perchance un bidden entered his well cultivated brain it was not allowed to linger there—his pure aud unselfish heart repelled aud ex pelled it indignantly in a moment. His manly lips were never known to utter an unkind word toward mortal man ; but rather for the foibles and short comings < f others would he ever find pleas of generous aud gentlemanly palliation. His leading trait of character was that of pare unselfishness, with a generous self abnegatiou for the good of others, which amounted to the very sublimity of Imman perfection—compelling all who kuew him to love him as naturally as it is for the tints of the rainbow to Respond to the brilliancy of the sun’s reflecting rays. But we would not overpraise oven so dear and sacred a friend us Dr. Cormiek —one whose memory is so sacred aud dear to our entire household, endeared to us ali for his manly, generous and most unselfish friendships—we feel, in deed, that there is no dauger of this, because it is hardly within the power of languuge, much less any that we could use, to puss too high praise or compli ment upon a gentleman so “pure in heart” and in every way worthy of love. We watched over him iu his last hours, and wept in heart and agonized, not only at his own incurable sufferings, but still more deeply at the indescribable pain aud despair of his devoted and dis consolate parents. Aud when the breath had left his manly and symmetrical form, and we saw him lying there upon his couch, so lovely are! natural, all so neatly dressed for the toinb— “1 ike some frail exhalation which tho dawn Robes in its golden beams"— Yes, when wo saw him resting'upou his couch, so beautifully adorned for the “last of earth”—so much at rest, as if the hush of the last labored breath had brought so much relief— “ The brave, the gentle, and the beautiful, The obdd of grace and genius"— Yes, we must say, we thanked God at this sad yet glad moment, that there is, if nowhere else, relief aud deliverance iu death to the pure iu heart upon this sad and sorrow-stricken earth. And while we thus viewed the dead body of this devoted son aud manly friend, we fonud special and renewed consolation aud hope it the remembrance of the proud fact that his was one of the cul tivated and free and unshackled souls who stand sublimely upon the immortal aud God given belief— “ That virtue, though obscured on earth, not less Survives all mortal change ia lasting loveli ness." And upon this wafting wave of im mortal hope, his released and spotless spirit-unstained by evil thought or deed of wrong—passed out and on to its sure reward. And iu like manner, through the same channel of thought aud hope, shall the bereaved kindred and friends—the stricken father, and the devoted aud saiuted mother, her heart now all torn aud laseerated, dually to be healed in death—in this same channel of thought and hope, shall they, with all the friends and kindred of this noble mau, follow after and rejoin him agaiu, in that land of rest where death aud partiug shall be known no more; “aud everlasting joy shall be upon their head—they shah obtain glad ness and joy, aud sorrow aud mourning shall flee away." Dr. Cormiek was many years a citizen of Augusta. He was a member of the Clinch Rifles during the war, aud was a gallaut soldier throughout the struggle. He bad many friends iu Augusta, who received with deep regret the intelli gence of his death. Truly, a Good Man Gone. —It is with ! pain aud sorrow that we announce the demise of Colonel Thomas J. Heard, ■ which Sad event occurred at his home, iu Elberton, last Friday. Beiug an uncle to us by marriage, wo have known him long and well, and can truthfully say : that a better man never lived or died. With a charity that knew no bounds, a heart C 9 tender as a child’s, a mind that ne’er entertained an evil or unjust thonght, and a son! as pure aud untar nished as the falling snow, his spirit , wings its fight to He who gave it. To his bereaved family we extend our deep est sympathy; but they should bear their affliction with that same Christian for titude ever displayed by their beloved . parent duriug the terrible ordeal of pain ' and suffering through which he passed, without a murmur against the dispensa tion of Providence, for months prior to his decease. “He is not dead, but i eleepetb.”— Oglethorpe Echo.

PALMETTO NEWS LEAVES. The jnrietrfor the May term in Marion will be drawn this week. Anew poet office has been established in Marion, at Temperance Hill. ' The Marion Literary Olnb has been discussing the morality or immorality of theatre-going. The'Kingstree Star has called for the organization of a Yonng Men’s Christian Association at that place. Among the funds paid into the Pro bate Judge’s office in Marion, last week, wag a one t housand dollar bill. A white man named Thomas Smith was found dead last week a few miles below Marion. Cause of death unknown. Some miscreants forced open the barn of Dr. J. B. Witherspoon, Sunday night, and robbed it of corn and fodder. Charles Wardiaw, a colored carpenter living in Anderson, met with an accident on last Taesday morning by which be lost his life. Mr. John Dixon, of Sumter, died of apoplexy on Thursday. Mrs. Caroline Britton, of the same county, also died suddenly on Sunday, aged 74. Jerry Hoilinshead, State Senator from Abbeville county, died iu the village on last Saturday. He was an ex-Federal soldier, and a native of Ohio. On Thursday last Mr. John Dixon, one of the best and most reliable citizens of Bishopville,-Sumter county, dropped down, we might say dead, in his yard. The store of Mr. Ashley We sthersbee, at Elko, was robbed on the night of the 2d instant of a single case gold watch, aColt’s revolver aud many oth it articles. There are twenty-two prisoners now in Barnwell jail, all colored, some three or four for murder and the others for stealing. The sheriff finds much trou ble in feeding them. Strawberries have made their appear ance in Anderson, atfi though rare at this time, promise to fie very abundant, notwithstanding the oold weather which has destroyed so much other fruit. The Abbeville Medium says : Joe .Polhill, Esq., who was once a student at Due West, is taking a prominent part in Georgia polities. He is on the right side ; a Jeffersonian Democrat—a real Georgia tiger. Judge Bond, presiding at the U. S. District Court, at Charleston, has sen tenced a host of prisoners to fine and imprisonment, for violation of the inter nal revenue laws, all of whom, we sup pose, go to the bastile of Albany.

A (•ritpliio Letter from One of the Sufferer*— AMtonisliiiiff Freak* and Phenomena Brick* lldfrled Through Building* with the Force of Cannon Ball*—-A Troy Lady’s Es cape. f Special Correspondence of Troy Daily Times.] Jersey City Hlights, May 7.—You will probably find this morning’s New York papers filled with accounts of the great explosion over the east entrance to the new Bergen tunnel. My residence on Reservoir avenue being on a direct line west of, aud less than 3,000 feet from where the magazine exploded, of course I had my fuli share of the terrors realized by all the inhabitants of the hill in particular and of the surrounding country in general. I had gone to bed about 9:30, p. in., and must have bee)i at the time of the explosion in my sound est sleep, when I was Awakened by a Lurch of tbe House Toward the“east, which caused a sensa tion that I can only compare to that I have often felt on board ship in a heavy gale of wind, when rolling and plunging into a heavy aea; the ship staggers and trembles as though uncertain whether it can recover itself or not, and it seemed as though the house was going through the same performance. As I bounded out of bed, trying to realize" whether I was on board a ship plunging headlong to the bottom, or whether I was at home as the surroundings seemed to indicate, and the house was being racked by an earthquake, at the moment reaching the floor I was Almost Stunned by n Concussion That could hardly have been exceeded by fifty peals of thunder in one grand crash at the same instant. There seemed to be a general smash of all the glass and crockery in the house, as though the whole house was tumbling about our ears. I hadn’t the least idea but that it meant annihilation to myself and fam ily, and it was several moments before I could realize to the contrary, and then was I only aroused by the screams and cries of the other members of my family, who came rushing to my room for pro tection. Of course seeing them all around, and haviug come from all the different parts of my house and the tur moil having ceased, I at once realized the fact that whatever the danger might have been, or the cause thereof, it was now past, and I soon by soothing words was able to convince the rest of them of that fact, and we set to work to examine the wreck. Singular Circumstances. Before I went to bed every window shutter had been carefully fastened by myself. Now every one stood wide open, oultcard, while the glass from the win dows had, seemingly by a contrary im pulse, been driven inward, covering the carpet with a shower of glass reaching fifteen f.eet across the room and through the open door, six feet across the hall. Upon going down to the first floor the same condition of affairs existed, glass covering every inch of the parlor floors. In the basement it was the same, with the addition that the two outer doors had burst off locks aud bolts, and were standing wide open, the bolts of the locks bent inward, showing the same characteristics as the blinds aud win dows npstairs had shown ; that the vacuum on the outside of the house, caused by the explosion, had rendered the air on the inside a power of such prtency as to almost rend the house asunder, until happily relieved by th bursting of the doors and blinds outward, while the sash and glass were thrown inward by the reaction that immediate ly followed the restoration of the equili brium outside. A Fearful Visitation. After clearing away the wreck and makiug everything as secure as possible uuder the circumstances for the night, 1 started out to see how my neighbors had fared, and found that the houses west of me, that is going away from the seat of the explosion, were damaged much the same as mine, while going cast, toward it, ruin increased iu a pro portionate ratio. Mr. Hamlin, who re •iutM about a hundred feet east and across the way, in addition to the break ing of glass and doors, had a large plate glass mirror broken, as had also Mr. Bailey, the next neighbor. Heury Rog ers’ new house, which had only been finished a few months, lost nearly every window. So far as I have mentioned, thele was no damage to the main struc ture or to the walls, but on the east of the block, including the handsome three story French roof house of Charles F. Staples, the Swiss villas of Mr. Heppen lieiiner and of Mrs. Jansic, the ceilings are all tumbled down, the hardwood wainscoting bulged, and panels driven ont, and not a single pane of glass left, and in many oases the whole sash was driven clean across the rooms. On Pali sade avenue, the street running parallel with the brow of the hill on which stood the magazine that exploded, the houses facing it were badly damaged in the ceilings, doors, etc. Brick** Sent With the Force of i annou Ball*. But in no case that I have examined has there been any damage to the main structure, except it is Noa. 108 and 200, the first occupied by Edgar tvogers, a lawyer, where three bricks from the magazine, entering abont six feet above the second floor, passed through the outer shell of the house, clean through the partition wall in the centre of the house, lodging in the wall in the rear, making as clean cats through both walls as a rifled cannon ball would. Two of them are near the north end of the room, directly over the bed of Mr. Rogers’ five year old daughter Jennie, who was taken from the bed without re ceiving a scratch, although the bed was oovered from head to foot at least two inches deep with debris composed of plaster and glass. The third brick pass- ed through about eight feet south of the others, directly in the rear of a looking glass attached to a maple barean, slew ing the glass and bnreau half way round without cracking the glass. Major Harris and his wife, living next door at Fo. 200, received a single missile of the same description. They were both somewhat hurt by the falling plaster and glass, bat not seriously. The Mao j Freaks of the Explosion Would be both a study and a puzzle. Mr. Steele’s large double frame house, only a short distance from where the explosion took place, was almost un harmed, while the glass, doors and ceil ings of Mr. Foster’s house, a whole block farther down Palisade avenue, are almost completely destroyed. His daugh ter, Mrs. Westervelt, of Troy, was thrown clear across the .room by the concussion, but without receiving any serious harm. Work for Glaziers. I walked about eight blockß on Pali sade avenue, and there was not a house or store that had not work for the glazier. Another freak is to be seen at, I think, No. 381 Palisade avenue—a store with two large plate glass win dows, at least eight by ten feet, neither one with a crack in it, while nearly all the cr#nary sized panes in tbe house are broken, as is the case with every other one for blocks on each side of it. What has been given above is from my I own observation. You will, of coarse, get more general statements as to causes, etc., from other sources, bnt any that describes a single buildiDg as having fallen down, and that it will re quire to be pulled down to rebuild, is pure exaggeration. I have conversed with every prominent property holder who has been a sufferer, and from not a single one have I heard a murmur as to the loss of property, but all seemed ready to give praise to God that the lives which, a short time before, had seemed to be passing the very portals of the grave, had been vouchsafed to them selves and their families again. As for myself, whose life has not been' without its dangers, never before have I experi enced the terrors of the past night. Yours truly, J. H. D. A CHILD OF ROMANCE. A School Girl Elope* With Iler RoomOlate’s Betrothed—A Remarkable History. [From the New York Herald.] Eldbed, Pa., May 6, 1876.—Among the young people of the best circles of Eldred, “Blessie” Cookton, aged 16, adopted daughter of Jerome Cookton, a rich farmer, was an acknowled leader. She recently returned home from a Philadelphia boarding school, where she had been a pupil for four years, making occasional visits home. On one of these visits, about a year ago, she met Alva Evans, the son of an iron founder, of London, Canada. He was visiting this section with a party of other youDg men for the purpose of trout fishing. Evans fell in love with Miss Cookton. The re sult was that a correspondence was opened and kept up between the two and a marriage fixed upon, to be con summated wbeu Miss “Blessie” should have reached the age of 18. The room-mate and “particular friend” of the young lady at school was Frances Peters, of Petersville, N. Y. She was two years the senior of “Blessie,” and left school some time before the latter. Miss Peters is a blonde, exceedingly at tractive, aud of a dashing and reckless nature. At the house of a friend in Philadelphia she met Isaac Bell, a young man, represented to be of an old family and wealthy. The young people formed an attachment for each other— at least Miss Peters fell deeply iu love with Bell. As her parents had other matrimonial prospects marked out for her at home, she kept her acquaintance with young Bell A Secret Prom them, but, it seems, promised to marry him at some future day. Not be ing able to have her lover visit her at home, Miss Peters made an arrangement with Miss Cookton by which she was to pay the latter a visit, when Mr. Bell was to go also and stay a few days. To add to the completeness of the arrangement, “Blessie” wrote to her Canadian be trothed, and he was to join the visiting party. v Miss Peters came to Eldred about the middle of April, and in a few days thereafter Isaac Bell made his appear ance. Miss “Blessie” liked him from the first. It was near the latter part of April before Mr. Evans came from Cana da. During the two weeks that had elapsed since the coming of Mr. Bell, Miss Cookton had transferred her affec tions to her friend’s betrothed, and his love toward Miss Peters had visibly grown cold. It did not take the jealous eye of Miss Peters and the young Cana dian long to notice the change, as it af fected them respectively, but they had no idea that it was anything more than a temporary flirtation. On the arrival of young Mr. Evans “Blessie” planned a May Day Party. For an excursion to the mouutains. Ou Wednesday morning the party started, in accordance with previous arrangements. Miss Uookton and Mr. Evans in one car riage and the visiting couple in another. Ou reaching the woods the party stroll ed at random. They naturally got some what separated; but while Miss Peters and the Canadian were always in halloo ing distance of each other it seemed that the other couple strolled further away. The occasion seemed to be one of no pleasure to Evans and Miss Peters, and they, after an hour so, met near the edge of the woods and sat down to await the return of the other couple. They sat there talking for an hour or more, and as there was yet no sign of either Bell or Miss Cookton, both Evans aud Miss Peters betrayed evidence of un easiness and alarm. The Canadian told his companion to remain iu her seat, and he would walk back over the hill and look for “Blessie,” as lie was fear ful she had lost her way. He was ab sent a long time, aud finally returned, looking pale and anxious. Ho had seen nothing of either of the missing young folks. Miss Peters was Greatly Agitated Over the result of his search, but she nor Evans at that time entertained the slighest suspicion that the prolonged absence of the two was by design or that they were together. They return ed to the farm house where the carriage had been left, in order to give an alarm and have a thorough search made. They found that the conveyance in which Evans and “Blessie” had come was gone. For the first time A Terrible Suspicion Crossed Their Minds. A farjner told them that a young man and a young woman had come off the mountain about noon, and getting into the carraige, had driven rapidly off in the direction of Minot Station. Evans would not believe that the conduct of “Blessie” and Bell was anything more than a girlish prank, and was confident that they would find them at home. On reaching the farm they found they were still absent. Miss Peters hastened to her room to hide her emotion. Iu a few moments she sought and found Evans walking in the yard, and placed a note in his hand. It read as follows ; Dear Frank—So greatly do Hove Mr. Bell that I hava given up ail for him. I hope you will be brave enough to bear up, aud think of me as the most cruel creature in the world. Tell Alva I have not the courage to write to him nor to father and mother. We are going to be married, aud intend to return to Eldred when the gossips are through with ns. Farewell, Frank. Bid Alva farewell for me. I hope he had learned to hate me be fore this. B. C. Evans coolly handed the note back to Miss Peters, and remarked quietly : “I am glad to have found the young lady out before it was too late.” Attempted Suicide. The same evening he was driven to the railroad and returned to Canada.— the farmer’s family took the matter very calmly. Miss Peters, however, was found lying in her bed, about 7 o’clock the same evening, oovered with blood. With a small penknife she had severed the large arteries of both arms, and was nearly unconscious from loss of blood. But for the timely discovery of her situation she would soon have been past all aid. Her wounds were bound up, and a doctor summoned, who now has her in charge. Her pa rents were sent for and arrived here this morning. They will remove their un fortunate daughter to her home as soon as they can with safety. A Romantic History. “Blessie ” Cookton has a remarkable hLstorv. She was found, in the Summer of 1860, on the doorstep of farmer Cook ton’s house, in a basket. Accompany ing the infant was this note ; “This child’s father is the son of a Senator of the United States. Its mo ther is a gipsy girl, who has been con verted to Christ and cannot bear the thonght of this innocent creatufe grow ing in ignorance and vice. Is there room for it here ? Its little wings are weary, and. like the dear Jesus, it has no place to lay its head. Turn it not away, but keep it for the love of Christ.” The child was a bright little thing, and as the farmer had no children he and his wife concluded to adopt it as their own. It came to be snch a sun shine in the house that they gave it the name of “Blessing,” which was subse quently turned into “Blessie.” The Treasury Department has given notice of “ counterfeits” of silver coin, which contain the full value of metal, aud are counterfeit, however, having been coined by private persons, and not by the Government. THE DEATH PENALTY. HAYS SENTENCED TO BE HUNG. The Doomed 3(an Completely Unnerved— Affecting Scene at tbe Jail* Yesterday morning Judge Gibson hav ing determined to sentence John B. Hays, convicted of the murder of John Henry Key, sent an officer to the jail after the condemned man. Hays’ wife was at the prison when the officer ar rived, and an affecting scene ensued. Her screams rent the air, and for a time it seemed as if she wonld go into con vulsions, Hays himself was scarcely less agitated. The cool demeanor which he bore through both trials entirely de serted him, aud he shook and trembled like an aspen leaf. He was finally es corted away from the jail, his wife’s agonized cries ringing in his ears as he walked up the street. His arrival in the Court room created quite a sensa tion. When the Court asked the coun sel if they had anything to say why sen tence should not be passed upon the prisoner, Major J. B. Cumming rose in his place and said: “Counsel for theprisoner intend to file a motion for anew trial, it is not ne cessary in order to preserve all the rights of the prisoner to file the motion to-day. On the contrary, his rights would seem to require that the motion should be prepared with more care and deliberation than counsel have been able to bestow on it in the short inter val which has elapsed since the trial. It might have been anticipated that of course such motio'n would be made, and now counsel remove all doubt by stating in their places that such motion is in preparation and will be filed before the dual adjournment of the Court. That motiorf will operate as a supersedeas of any judgment pronounced to-day, and it is quite certain that no sentence passed to-day will be carried into execution. What right of the State, then, demands that a sentence should be pronounced which can be nothing more than a form ? What ends of justice will be promoted by pro nouncing a judgment which loses even the merit of solemnity, when it is known at the time it is uttered that it is not to be carried into execution ? I think I have shown that it is not ia the interest of the administration of justice to pronounce sentence at this time. But with that I have nothing to do. My province and privilege are to speak in behalf of the prisoner at the bar, and I say in his behalf that if no public interest demands his sen tence at this time, there seem to be suf ficient considerations why it should not be pronounced. I know your Honor would not unnecessarily add a single drop to the prisoner’s already full eup of misery, and yet—l say it most re spectfully—to sentence him now would be to do that. I know your Honor would not needlessly add another pang to his utter wretchedness, but with per fect respect I say it—to sentence him now would be to do that. It will be time enough for that solemn duty, when the highest Court of the State shall have reviewed this case—after which, iu any event, judgment of some sort will have to be pronounced. We trust the law will then be satisfied with a milder sentence than the only one your Honor can no* pronounce. Bnt at any rate, the pronouncing of any earlier sen tence will be but the enactment of a scene productive of no good to society and full of bitterness to the prisoner. This is what we have to say why sentence should not be passed upon the prisoner at the bar.” Judge Gibson said, substantially: The views presented by counsel have great force and make me hesitate. It is no pleasant duty to me to pass sentence upon the prisoner. I purposely post poned doing so at the time the verdict was rendered that I might consider whether my duty required me to pass sentence at this time. I have come to the conclusion that it does. A judg ment must be rendered on every verdict. Until that is done there is nothing final; there is nothing which can be taken to the Supreme Court. For fear of any mistake in this matter, I will pronounce judgment now. If a motion for anew trial is to be filed I will take pleasure in granting an order of supersedeas, and I will take more pleasure in doing that than in what lam about to do now. I shall not trouble the prisoner to stand up, but will read to him the little I have to say. He then sentenced Hays in the fol lowing words : Mr. Hays—lt is no pleasant duty to impose the severest penalty of the law upon a fellow-citizen. The laws against murder in your case provides no other than the death penalty upon him who is found guilty. However much I may feel moved to extend mercy to you, duty to society, fidelity to trust RDd the im perative demands of justice compels me to sentence you to be hanged on the sixteenth day of June next, ou or near the commons, in the city of Augusta, and county of Richmond, by the neck, until you are dead, dead, dead. Hays was terribly affected while the sentence was being pronounced and wept freely. He has changed to a great extent during the last few days. He ap pears to be in miserable health, and it would not surprise us if death in a natural form takes him away before the final termination of the case in the Courts. It is generally understood that if Judge Gibson refuses to grant anew trial the case will be carried up to the Supreme Court, Death of Capt. L. H. Luke.—Capt. L. H. Luke, a prominent citizen of Columbia county, died yesterday morn ing. He was for many years Tax Col lector of that county, and was highly esteemed and respected. His funeral will take place from his late residence, this morning at ten o’clock. A New Jersey street car man wrote to his sweet heart : “I don’t care much what I do, you seem to feel stuck up above a hoss car driver ; if my hands is large my hart is to.
