HE LIVES IN BOSTON IN STYLE AND HAS THREE DEVOTED WIVES. Boston, Sept. 19.—James T. Keat¬ ing, a drummer fora New York house came here a few months ago from Gotham. When lie came to Boston lie determined to furnish himself a room such as n>> hotel could hope to equal. With this purpose he inter¬ viewed some of the city’s prominent manufacturers, and a firm was selected to fill bis order. In a gorgeously furnished apartment, at No. 1C Cazenove street. Keating soon afterward received his friends and held pleasant levees. Then he began attending Dr. Swett’s church, His gentlemanly demeanor won for him many friends, and it was not long before he had made hirnself sol id with the prominent pillars of so ciety. When lie became short of funds he called upon his church friends, and some of the members on asked fora temporary loan loosened their purse strings, little thinking that the loan in reality would be a permanent one. To a young lady connected with the same church Keating paid mark ed attention, and to supply his temi porarv wants she loaned him jewel i v on which she claims he obtained £125. How large an amount of mon ey Keating obtained through his church-going will novel perhaps be known, as ifie members would ratio er quietly bear their loss than he iu any way indentified with the case. It was not through his misdoing in connection with the church, howev¬ er, that Keating came to grief. When Special Officer Iloffman, of the Fourth division, placed him under arrest last Thursday afternoon, it was 011 a complaint charging him whith conveying property held un der conditional contract. At the time Keatir.g furnished his room he paid only £38. The remainder, £117, he l|was to pay on the installment plan. It was a greed that the prop should net be removed without the consent of the owners. In No vember last Keating again became short of money and he mortgaged the furniture to Cyrus \ N.

TWO RUNAWAY NEGROES. FORTY YEARS AGO—A REMXXSCENCK OF SLAVERY DAYS. From the Ilaickhwyille Dispatch. Last Saturday morning, while we were seated in the shade discussing some trivial matter, a citizen, well posted in the affairs of llawkinsville for the last forty years, said: “Do you see that old colored man in the buggy driving around the cor¬ ner? Well, that is old Dempsy Clark. About forty years ago he and his brother Bristow were as like¬ ly young negro men as could be found among the slaves on any plantation. '1 hoy were put on the block and sold at public outcry to the highest bid¬ der before the court house door in llawkinsville. “Among the bidders for Dempsey and Bristow was old Jonathan Co ley, who was rich in lands and slaves. Denipse and Bristow said to Mr Co ley: “You needn’t buy us, Mr. Coley, case we air.t agoing to live wid ye.’ ‘Ob, well,’ replied Mr. Coley, ‘I’ve got plenty of dogs;’ which meant that if they should run away he could capture them with the keen scented hounds used in those days. “Sure enough the old man Coley bought Dempse and Bristow, and, as good as their word, they took to the woods as soon as they could es¬ cape from his plantation. They were captured once or twice, but made their escape again, and imme¬ diately took up their life in the woods “I remember that on one occasion a party of hunters with their negro dogs struck the trail of Bristow and Dempse anil chased them into the cypress jungle and among the la¬ goons just below Big creek, for miles from llawkinsville, where the creek empties into the Ocmulgee. The swamp was almost impenetrable, hut the hunters followed their dogs, and approached’within fifty ora hundred yards of ‘the runaway niggers,’ as ^ K> y werc caded- They proved to ,je Hcuipse and Bristow, who by some means had obtained a gun or pistol and defied tlieii puisticis. Dempse and Uristow were stout men, and tIlL ‘Y swore they would die before they would be auested. “Among the hunters was Tobe McGriff, a brother of the piescnt Ordinary of this county. Mr. Re¬ Oriff fired one shot at the fugitive slaves and they returned tlie shot. It then became evident that they were armed, and had determined not to bo captured alive. “The hunters withdrew and left Dempse and Bristow in the swamp, and they remained in the woods 3 years. At last, old man Coney, des¬ pairing of getting any service out of them, sold them in the woods to Bryan W. Brown, of Houston coun¬ ty. Mr. Brown told his slaves that he had bought Dempse anil Bristow, and they at once left the woods and went to his plantation, where they remained faithful slaves until the close of the war. “I don’t know where Bristow is— whether living or dead, but that is old Dempse out there in that buggy, and is now known as Dempsey Clark. He owns a plantation of four or five hundred acres in Houston county and has several good mules and horses. He is a good fanner, is very indus¬ trious, and manages well. He has a good credit among the merchants of llawkinsville and Perry, and he has two dan an liters attending college in Atlanta. ' Ve J®™ only a bit of advice to offer old , Dempsey: If he is out of and owns a farm, just keep often out 0 f ^ebt. A good credit has ruined many a good man. • ◄ ► •------* Dolly’s Uncle ,y “Indeed, miSlvlm? mada you think of him?” “Oh, I felt him.” “Nonsense, Dol ly; you could not feel him, for he is hundieds of miles an ay “Yes, I did, mamma, and lie is a jewel of an uncle, too.” “Then you must think a great deal of him, Dolly?” for he “No. I don’t mamma, is carbuncle.”—National Weekly. What He Saw in Charleston From the Chicago Herald. “I was down in .South Carolina du¬ ring all of the earthquake troubles,” said a commercial traveler, “and I never again want to be a witness of such scenes as I saw there. I’ll not attempt to describe the incidents to you—they have already been suffi¬ ciently touched upon in the daily pa¬ pers. But there is one little phase of the thing which the newspapers have not even mentioned. You know bus¬ iness was suspended in Charleston. All of the stores excepting grocery and provision stores were closed. The hanks were not open. The thea¬ ters closed their doors. Even the newspapers suspended publication for an issue or two. But the day af¬ ter the first terrible quake 1 liappem cd out by the baseball grounds, and I’ll he durned if there wasn’t two clubs in there a playing, and quite a crowd sitting on the benches cheer¬ ing the players. I looked through a crack in the fence, and just then an¬ other earthquake shock came. The umpire motioned to the players to go right along, but the pitcher, who was then in the box, asked to have the game called foi a few minutes, because the home plate was wobb¬ ling so he couldn’t put the ball in straight. The umpire acceded to this reasonable request, and after a delay of ten minutes I heard the umpire call out, ‘play ball—batter up!’ Then I left, satisfied that baseball is the one American institution which even an earthquake can’t knock out.” - The Hum an Family, The human family living to day on earth consists of about 1,450,000, 000 individuals; not less, probably more. These are distributed over the earth’s surface, so that now there is no considerable part where man is not found. I 11 Asia, where he was first planted, there are now approxi¬ mately about 800,000,000, densely crowded; on an average 120 to the square mile. In Europe there are 320,- 500,000, averaging 100 to the square mile, not, so crowded, but every¬ where dcnsce, and at points over populated. Iu Africa there arc 210, 000,000, lu America, North and South, there are 110,000,000, rela¬ tively thinly scattered and recent. In the isk-nds, large and small, pro¬ bably 10,000,000. The extreme of the white and black are as five to three; the- remaining 700,000,000 in¬ termediate brown and taivby. Of the race, 500,000,000 are well clothed— that is, wear garments of some kind to cover their nakedness; 700,000,000 are semi-dothed, covering inferior parts of the body, 250,000,000 are practically naked. Of the race, 500 000,000 live ia houses partly furnish¬ ed with the appointments of civiliz¬ ation; 700,000,000 in huts or caves with no furnishing; 200,000,000 have nothing that can be called a home, are barbarous and savage. The range is from the topmost round—the An¬ glo Saxon civilization, which is the highest known—down to naked sav¬ agery. The portion of the race lying below the line of human condition is at the very least three-fifths of the whole, or 900,000,000. »-4 --- Speaking of the Taylor brothers, and their remarkable campaign in Tennessee, the following good story comes from that direction: During tlie session of the demo¬ cratic convention in .Nashville, Bob Taylor’s name was before the con¬ vention as a candidate. Bob was in Knoxville. A report was put in cir¬ culation that Boh only desired the honor of a nomination, and his am¬ bition being gratified, he would de¬ cline to run.

AX IXGT.XIOr.S TRAMP WHO UNDER¬ STOOD HUMAN NATURE-HE GOT MONEY People who crowded City Hall park the other day might have no¬ ticed an ill-dressed and sad-visaged man down on the curbstone industri¬ ously pecking away with a pocket knife on a piece of stone. The stone was six inches square, and the man with the knife was carving its face. An inscription all penciled out was before him, and the first line of rais¬ ed letters was complete. The 011 c word of that first line was “Mother.” Below it the pencil marks read in this way: The boy you loved remembers you even in dire distress. In common with other folks I stopped and looked at the oddity of a tramp at wark. He didn’t obtrude himself, but he held the block of stone so that it was not hard for the passers-by to eatoli that first word, “Mother,” And he was willing to talk. He had a sad story. He was a nice boy once, but he went to war, was shot at or shot into at most of the prominent battles, spent a year or two in rebel prisons, went through hospital tortures and generally had seen tough times ever since. There wasn’t anything particularly novel or new in the tale he told; most tramps have had similar experiences, but this individual had testimony in the half-carved block of stone that somehow lifted him above the com¬ mon herd. “My mother died while I was fight¬ ing down south,” he said, “and I nev¬ er have been able to get her a tomb¬ stone. ’Three or four times I’ve scrap¬ ed together almost enough only, to sec it slip away from me before I could use it for the sacred purpose of marking her grave. Now Tin try¬ ing to cut just a little*bit of a tomb¬ stone myself. God bless the dearau gel’s inomory.” The dirty hands of the talker went to his eyes; no listener could ques¬ tion that he was much agitated. This 1 is a busy, rushing, careless town, but men don’t cry oil these streets any¬ where or any time without getting sympathy. And this man, in grime and in rags, with that little bit of human nature showing in his desire to h vnor tlie mother dead-—that fel¬ low’s tears moved the crowd who lis¬ tened. He got money, a lot of it. A healthy man never gets pleasure out of exciting distrust. But truth is to he told, and that tramp with the penknife, the half carved stone, the sad history and sentimental reminis¬ cence—that tramp was a fraud. But what a clever scheme lie had! What c student of human nature he was! He was an artist, a genius. And the old thraadbare lecitals that other tramps begging nickels obtrude up¬ on us, how paltry and poor they are If an American citizen must he hum¬ bugged it is a happy thing, perhaps, to York he humbugged Times. artistically.—New ------ A Story About Uncle Rube, From the Chicago If era Id. Here is a story which was written out by ail esteemed reader of the Herald, and slipped under the door¬ mat of the Train Talk department during Saturday night’s storm: Two men were standing on the sidewalk near the Northwestern de¬ pot on Wells'street the other morn¬ ing, waiting for the Wells street bridge to close, conversing in an idle manner, when old Uncle Rube came sauntering along. One of the men said to him. “It isn’t so, is it uncle?” “vVhich am not what?” askt-d the old darky. “Well, this gentleman here says it costs more for a married man to live than it docs one not married. I say no! Now, what do you say?” “Well, am you a married man, sah?” “No, I am not.” “Well, sah, wlieneber you heali married man make do remark dat (loan cost him no mo’to lib lie was jined in wedlock, doan hesitate to calkolatc dat dat man a base fabrictator or dat bis ' takes in washin’, Mornin’, Rights of Prisoners. Augusta Cor. Atlanta Constitution. Sometimes a prisoner doesn’t like the amusement of breaking rock and declines to work. To compel all such mutinous spirits to earn their salt and put in the required number of days of hard work, it has been the custom heretofore to arraign them again before Judge Anderson who would add a new penalty or in¬ creased number of days to their sen¬ tences. This sometimes would be repeated several times, but as there was no chance to get out until the work was done, and the average man ob' jected to life sentence for a plain drunk, it always resulted m his final surrender. Monday, however, a prisoner was arraigned for refusing to work, and it was sought to add an additional term to his sentence, lie resisted it and secured counsel. Ilis counsel soon convinced the Re¬ corder that though the law allowed a new sentence for an escape, it did not provide that additional time could be added to the sentence of a prisoner who refused to work. Judge Anderson so decidend and the defendants were liberated. This was a sockdolager for the stockade keeper, and lie was con¬ vinced that if any such precedent as that was established henceforth all his guests would fold their hands and laugh at him when lie pointed to the rock pile. lie told the Judge of his dilemma and said henceforth there would bo no work. Judge Anderson told him in case a person refused to work to apply the lash. Ho thought thirty-nine lashes would bring a fellow around if properly applied. This ruling will open up an avenue for wide discretion, or else frequent injustice from indiscretion. To say that a man can be whipped for get¬ ting drunk, or rather fur refusing to break rock because he was drunk, is a thing that will probably cause some sensational developments. • • The State Fair. From Vice-President Nisbet and Secretary Grier the following news about the coming State Fair has been obtained: The school children of Macon will have*a day in each week to visit the fair. Prof. Leon, with his performing birds and rope walking, has been en¬ gaged for the second week of the fair. The premiums for county club dis¬ plays have been increased from £200 to £800, Orer £.300 has been offered in pre¬ miums in the needlework depart¬ ment alone. F. G.

It is a rather uncommon liiing in this section to see a minister of the Gospel in a state of intoxication on the streets, but such a sight was seen here last Saturday. He is a resident of Early county and had come up to do some trading, and, strange to say, found the barrooms instead of dry goods stores. Thinking it would never do to go out of a store with¬ out trading some, soon was “loaded for bear” with the “rosy.” He then, began to admonish his wayward brethren, and with his protecting(?) arm gently entreating entwining one after am other, them to reform.— Just as he was “getting there” good fashioned he was spied by our mar¬ shal and very cordially invited to leay«* or get locked up. He left,
