The Assassination of Gen Grimes.
X m. *
Particulars of the Tragedy.
A dispatch to the Raleigh Obser¬
ver from Washington, N. C\, gives
the following particulars of the
assassination of Gen. Bryan Grimes,
nar that place, last Saturday even¬
ing:
“Gin, Grimes left here about, 0
o’clock Saturday evening for his
home, which is nine miles distant.
He had been in town all day witness¬
ing the Convention proceeding. lie
wan driving two horaea to a top bog¬
gy, and had with him when allot
little Bryan Satterthwaitc, a lad of
12 years, son of T. H. Sattertli waite.
Little Bryaq says that the General
wm sitting an the left side of the
buggy, and just as they were emerg¬
ing from Bear Creek, which is about
five miles from here he heard a gun
fire, and Gen. Grimes immediately
dropped l the reins, saying: ‘Bryan,
am shot.’ The boy said: Are y oil
much hurt General?’ Gen; Grimes
replied: ‘Yes, it will kill me, and
began to sink dowu until he had
sunk entirely down into the foot of
the buggy. Little Bry an drove the
horses on until he had reached the
top of the hill, nearly on which lives
a man named Carrow. He called
Carrow to him and asked him to help
him get the GeneralV legs in the
baggy. The boy then drove on to
the residence of Col. J. B. Stickney,
which is about two miles from Car
row’s, and from there the body was
oanjad to General Grimes’s home.
Upon onTy examination it was found
that one buckshot had entered
Gen. Grimes’s left arm, and had
passed through the arm into the
breast, severing the large artery
and lodgiug in one of his lungs. No
outside bleeding was perceptible; it
war all internal, and death ensued
i« about two-minutes after the shoot
ing.
“The place where the shooting oc¬
curred is swampy, the water being
about a foot deep. The road is nar¬
row, with a dense undergrowth Oil
c*eh fide. Jfo fitter pface for such
hellish work could possibly have been
selected. It was discovered the next
morning (Sunday) that the assassin
bad cut himself a trail through the
ttddergrowth to two large cypress
trees about twenty steps from the
place where he expected his victim
to pass. Here he waited, and as the
General’s vehicle reached the point
desired he fired. About ten or a
dozen shot struck the ribs of the
buggy top. After the shooting the
murderer, after wading 200 \» d*
down the swamp, through the water,
so as to conceal his tracks, went out
upon the high land and made his
escape. At the point where he came
out of tb« water a small track, which
was tytpingiy made by a d gai
ter or boot, was discovered. No
glue to murderer has yet been

found, although suspicion rests upon
several parties.”
General Grimes entered the Con¬
federate army as the Major of a
North Carolina regiment, and rose of
successive grades to that of Major
General and it is said his division
made the last charge before the sur¬
render at Appomattox. He was very
highly esteemed by General Lee.
SPEECHLESS FOR FIFTEEN
Years.
Strange Restoration of Reason
an<l Memory After a Prolonged
Illness.
In a plain but neat little story-and
a-balf white bouse. No. 149 Town¬
send street, Syracuse,N. Y., lives a
German girl named Amelia Hosch,
who passed her twenty-sixth birth¬
day on the loth of January last.
The greater part of her life—fuly
fifteen years—-has been a blank. In
her childhood Amelia was consider¬
ed an unusually bright girl. Site
early learned to read and write both
English and German, and could play
tine piano with considerable skill.
When between ten and eleven years
of age she was attacked with fever
and ague. This soon devloped into
hysterical fits, and in a few weeks
the girl lost her reason. Iler power
of speech left her, and her limbs re¬
fused to support her. She Iwcame a
helpless imbecile, and did not leave
her bed except when lifted from it.
From four to eight ti mox anight and
from two to six times a day she was
seized with the violent paroxysms.
Many times it was thought that she
was drawing her last breath. Medi¬
cines of every kind were tried, but
without effort. In J latch, 1879, Dr.
A. If. Tankie visited the girl and
made a diagnosis of her ease. He
combined a preparation of his own
with one obtained from a professor
in Columbia College, New York.
The second night after Amelia began
preparation she slept all night, some¬
thing site had not done before in
fifteen years. She began to increase
in flesh, and in June uttered the first
words that she had spoken since she
was first attacked. Gradually her
power of speech returned, and with
it her memory. The period of her
mental slumber is a blank, and she is
more of a child than a woman, ex¬
cept in years. She tells of what she
saw in her childhood and sings the
songs that she used to sing in her
Sunday school. Although she has
received no instruction since her
recovery, she can read, write, figure,
and do everything that she did be¬
fore she lost her reason. When
asked about her illness she looks at
the questioner in a wondering way—
she knows nothing about it. She
tfoW weighs about one hundred and
forty potynls—nearly twice as much
at* she did before she began taking
the preparation. She is a strong,
healthy- looking young woman. She
articulates rather slowly, hut replies
are prompt and correct. While
talking with a correspondent she
said: “I know everything I used to
know.” She likes to talk, and em¬
braces every opportunity to converse
that is offered. The case excites the
wonder of physicians, ami a great
many have called to see the girl.
It will be remembered that the
citizen who, in face of the notorious
facts connected with the Credit
and DeGolyer pavement
transactions, votes for James A.
Garfield as President of the United
Stater, thereby approves of the sys¬
tem of abusing grave public trusts
and corruptly misappropriating the
public moneys of the country, upon
which the entire system of official
thieving rests. Let no man who
votes for James A. Garfield ever
complain of the robbery of rings—
municipal, State, or National—be¬
cause by sucli a vote ho deliberately

The death of Hcrschel V. John¬
son, of Georgia, leaves Senator
Hamlin and ex-Senator Lane as the
only surviving representatives of the
presidential tickets of 1860. Lincoln,
Douglas, Breckenridge, Bell and
Everett have all passed away, some
of them dying before the close or the
war which followed the ccnvass in
which they were engaged. Senator
Hamlin is still active in political
work. Mr. Lane is a resident of the
