A man is not innocent until proved
guilty. He is only presumed to be In

the fact of innocence against the as
sumption of guilt raised by suspicious
circumstances. —H. Y. Sun.

‘•Wild hay” is the name given by |
the Swiss to hay made from the grass i
growing on strips of soil to be found
on the Alps, at a height of from 5,000
to 5,000 feet, in plae.es so difficult of
access that even the goatherd and his
flock forbear to vtsiwhem. This hay
is so valuable, from its excellent, qual
ity and delicious aroma, that a regu
lar hay harvest is yearly undertaken
on these almost inaccessible places,
in spiteof the danger to life and limb.
The haymakers are shod with Iron,
and secure themselves with ropes to
some sure hold when in especial dan
gerous places, but fatal acidents occur
every year.
(Stewart In His Store
“Burleigh” writes to the Boston
Journal: Mtewart runs his store on
the detective system. Each man
feels that he is under the eye of some
one—that he is watohed-and no one
disguises the annoyance this fact
gives him. I was In the spire one
day and in conversation with an em
ployee. It was not a busy time, and
all hands seemed to be laying off.
Some lounged, some leaned, ono or
two sat at the boxes. In a moment
the scene in the store changed; all
came to “attention,” sharp. No one
wasseeu, no one spoke. Each man
was erect; the loungers came to
their feet; there was not an idler in
the store. In a moment Stewurt
came in from his little coupe on the
curbsfore. He spoke to no one,
bowed to no one, seemed to recog
nize no one. He gave a sharp glance
right and left, and went up Htairs.
“Did you see that glance?” said the
clerk; he saw every one of us. and
could tell what each was doing.”

New York, August fi. —A Dublin
special says the Prelatical procession
at the cathedral yesterday was head
' od by Cardinal Cullen, and was com
posed of four Archbishops, forty
j Bishops, and 500 Priests. Cardinal
i Manning conducted the services.
! Isaac Butt will probably deliver the
oration today in place of Lord Ho
gan nt the banquet, who was to speak
last night. Mrs. Fitzslmmon, the
only living daughter of O’Connell,
was present. Lord Hogan’s oration
is not yet delivered, it is a high en
comium on O’Connell's genius and
patriotism. It says he received his
inspiration from the American war
of independence, traces the events of
his public career, aud discusses the
slanders against him. The oration
declares the great cardinal principles
of O’Couneil’s life to have been
First, tin' assertion of civil and reli
gious liberty ; second such liberty is
not necessarily associated with revo
lution ; third -that, moral force is
always preferable for the accomplish
ment of great political results.

Debus, August 0. The city was
brilliantly illuminated and streets
crowded with a merry throng. Every
thing passed off peacefully. The
banquet last uight, given by the Lord
Mayor of Dublin in honor of the
memory of O’Connell, was a brilliant
affair. A dispatch was received from
the Pope giving a blessing to all per
sons assisting at, the centenary cele
bration. Tlie health of the Pope was
proposed lirsl, the Queen’s health
next, The toasts were received with
loud cheering. A toast to the memo
ry of O’Connell was responded to by
a grandson of the liberator and Arch
bishop Maeliale, who said; “England
was once under the Government of
France, and yearned for deliverance
from thralldom. It was not strange
that Ireland should now yearn for
home government as did England.”

A LARGE GATHERING -CONFESSION, ETC.
Selma, Ala., August 6. —Archie
Kelley, colored, eighteen years of
age, convicted of the murder of Hen
ry Cunningham, a very old colored
man, suffered the extreme penalty of
the law to-day. Thousands of ne
groes from the surrounding country
Hocked to the city to witness the exe
cution.
The Sheriff, accompanied by the
Selma Guards imd iiis deputies, ar
rived at the scaffold at 10:58 a. m.
with the prisoner. Two colored min
isters, Rev. (Mias. Smith and Rev.
John Blevins, sang the song, “And
must I be to judgment brought ?” in
which the vast throng of assembled
people joined.
At 11:12 A. M, Itev. Mr. Smith of
fered up a fervent and earnest prayer
in behalf of (he condemned man.
At 11 :17 a. M. Kelley spoke for live
minutes. He confessed his guilt and
denied that his father wasiinpllcated
in the murder, and said he was pre
pared and willing to die.
At 11:23 the rope was placed around
his nock, when ho, after gaining the
consent of the Sheriff, offered up a
very pathetic and touching prayer in
his own behalf, saying that he felt
that God had forgiven him even as
He had forgiven the thief upon the
cross. He was then bidden good-bye
by the Sheriff, the executioner and
the ministers, arid at precisely 11:26
A. M. the trap was sprung and the
soul of the condemned man was ush
ered into eternity.
An unearthly sound arose from the
vast multitude of negroes present
when the body went dangling into
the air, and several fainted. The last
perceptible quiver of the body was at
11; 29, and at 11:53 it was lowered and
life was pronounced extinct by the
physicians.
The prisoner was firm and com
posed to the last. His neck was dis
located and he died easily.
This Is tho first, man ever hung in
Selma.

COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1875.
D tSAUK TO THE CHOPS.
LOSS not yet known.
Cincinnati, August 6. --It is difficult
at this time to form more than a
rough estimate of tho damage done
to crops by rains and the overflow in
the Ohio Valley, but it is believed
they will be heavy.
Tlie wheat crop had suffered severe
ly by cold weather in the spring, and
half of wlmt was planted was winter
killed. Of tho remainder, it. is be
lieved one-third is lost, and tho re
maining two-thirds is partly dam
aged, though it is believed that the
damage will bo much less than was
generally expected. The acreage of
wheat sown was larger than Inst year
aud the relative yield compared with
last year will bo fifty per cent., less.
The chief damage to corn is In the
river bottoms, whore tho crop is a
total loss. That planted in higher
land has suffered principally from
being broken down. The acreage was
much larger than last year, and tlie
prospects before the Hood were favor
able for an unusually large crop. It
is now thought there will boa fair
average crop, not much, if any, less
than last year. Much depends, how
ever, upon favorable weather for the
remainder of tho season.
The oat crop has suffered more se
verely than either tlie wheat or corn,
having been beaten flat and so badly
damaged that it will be impossible to
harvest it. The per cent, saved will
bo very small.
Barley has suffered severely from
the cold weather, and but little was
growing. Of this grain the quantity
saved, in condition for malting, will
be comparatively insignificant.
Hay promises a partial crop, but of
inferior quality.

American Cyclopaedia.
New Revised Edition.
Entirely rewritten by tho ablaut writer* on every
aubjoct. Printed from new type, and Illus
trated with Several Thousand Engraving*
and Maps.
Tho work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclopaedia was com
pleted in 1863, aiiu’o which time the wide circula
tion which it has attained iu all part* uf the
United statcn, and theaifMl dsvalopmenta which
have taken place iu every branch of science, lit*
eraturu and art, nave induced the editors aud
publishers to submit it to ar. exact aud thorough
revision, and to issue anew edition entitled The
American Cyclopacdia .
Within tho last ten years tbo progress of dis
covery in every department of knowledge lias
made anew work of reference an imperative
want.
Tho movement of political affairs lias kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their frulttu
application to tho industriakaml useful arts and
the convenience ami refinement of social life.
Great wars ami consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ol
the old work appeared, has happily boon ended,
and anew course of commercial uud Industrial
activity has been commenced.
Largo accessions to our geographical knowl
edge have been made by tho Indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of tho last de
cade, with the natural result of tho lapse of time,
have brought into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every one is curious to know the
particulars. Great oattles have been fought aud
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails are as yet preserved only iu the newspapers
or in tho transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place in perma
nent aud authentic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it hAB accordingly been tbo aim ol the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
tho most receUv discoveries iu science, of every
fresh production in literature, aud of the newest
inventions iu tho practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of tho progress of
political am l historical events.
The work has been ooguu alter long and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources for carrying it on to a successful term
ination.
None of tho original stereotypo plates have
been used, but every page has beer printed on
new type, forming in fact a now Cyclopaedia, with
the Hiimu plan and compass ns its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements In its composition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been udded
not for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to tho explanations iu
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and of natural history, uud depict tho most
famous and remarkable teutures of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
cwbelishment, no pains nave been span'll to in
sure their artistic excellence; tlie cost of their
execution is enormous, and it is believed they
will find a welcome reception as an admirable
feature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen largo octavo volumes, each containing
about HIM) pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Eugraviugs, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow’b udder aud kept dry for years, then mois
tened, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw the blood, will so impregnate and change
the entire system as to prevent the party so vac
cinated from taking the most loathsome of dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere the poison malaria, why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it. and applied it, and proved
it iu our Auti-maiarial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without tho fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chilis and Fover, Biilious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, and that it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Biilious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of the oody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to pcr.orm its various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria in
the rnait.
It has been tried in thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at tho Powell Building, Junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ga.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.
N. B.—None genuine without the trade mark
is stamped upon them.

Messrs. Love A Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last 1 was takcu sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate (lay. After it hud
run on me lor two weeks. I was induced to try
one of your Anti-malarial belts; bo I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc
cessive time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left mo entirely, with a good appe
tite aud clear skiu; and in future, if 1 should ever
have a Chill or Ague,l would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be

On tho first day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasville, Southwes

eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
ou my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh eu I accidentally met up with Drs. Love A Will
son’s Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured
me. I have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now iu as
good health as I ever was in my lile, and think
this Belt a God-send to the afflicted.
