A Gentleman of La Porte. The First Appearance of One Who Became a Justice of the Peace. He was also a pioneer. A party who broke through the snows of the w’nter of ’51 and came upon the triangular little valley afterward known as La Porte found him the sole inhabitant. He had subsisted for three months on two biscuits a day and a few inches ol bacon, in a but made of bark and brushwood. Yet when the explorers found him he was quite alert, hopeful, and gentlemanly. But I cheerfully make way here I or the terser ntrra tives of Captain Henry Symes, com m^p fling tlia e. like, jest abreast of a rock like this”— demonstrating the distance—“ez near as you be. He sees us and he dives into his cabin and comes out agin with a tall hat—a atovepipe, gentlemen— and, blank me, gloves ! He was a tall thin feller, holler in the cheek—ez might be—and off color in his face, ez was nat’ral, takin’ in account his starv¬ ation grub. But he lifts his hat to us so, and sez he: ‘Happy to make your acquaintance, gentlemen! I’m afraid you ex-per-ienced some difficulty in getting here. Take a cigyar.’ And he pulls out a fancy cigar-case with two real Havanas in it. ‘I wish there was more,’ sze he. “Ye don’t smoke yourself?” says I. “Seldom,” sez he, which war a lie, for that very afternoon I seed him Hangin’ onto a short pipe like a suckin’ baby onto a bottle, I kept these cigyars for any gentlemen that might drop in.” ‘T reckon ye see a gieat deal o’ the best society yer,” sez Bill Parker, starin’ at the hat uud gloves and wink¬ in’ at the boys. “A few Ind-i-ans occasionally,” sez he. 'Tnjins !” sez we “Yes. Very quiet, good fellows in their way. They have once or twice brought me game, which I refused, as the poor fellows have had a pretty hard time of it themselves.” “Now, gentlemen, we was, ez you know, rather quiet men—rather peace¬ able men ; but—hevin’ been shot at tbree times by these yar good Injins, and Parker hisself havin’ a matter o’ three inches of his own ekelp lying loose in their bands and he wakiu’ round wearin’ green leaves on his head like a Roman statoo—it did kinder seem ez if this yer stranger was play¬ in’ rather low down on the bo}s. Bill Parker gets up and takes a survey o’ him and sez he, peaceful like : “Ye say these yer Injuns—these yer quiet “They Injins—offered did he. ye game?” !” sez “And you refoosed ?” “1 did," stz he. “Must bev made ’em feel kinder bad—sorter tortered their sensitiv’ naters ?’’ sez Bill. “They really seemed quite disap¬ pointed.” Bill. “In course,’ sez “And now mout I ask who be vou ?” “Lxcuse me says the stranger; and rn my skm . if he didn t hist out a keord-caae, and handin it over to Billy, sez,“ Here's my kyard." "Billy took it and read out aloud, J.

Wots it all about ? Who are ye, anyway?” The stranger stands up and sez he : “Ez I don’t quarrel with guests on my own laud,” sez he, "I think you’ll allow I’m—a gentleman,” sez he. With that he takes off his tall hat and maks a low bow, so, and turns away—like this; but Bill lites out of a suddent No. with his right foot and drives his 10 boot clean through the crown of that tall hat I ke one o’ them circus hoops. remember. That’s about ez fur ez I Gentlemen ! thar warn’t but one man o’ that hull crowd ez could actooally swear what happened next, kind and whirl¬ that man never told. For a o’ wind jest then took place in that valley. I disremember anything’ but dust and bustlin’. Thar wasn’t no yelling, thar wasn’t no shooting’. It was one o’ them suddent things that left even a six shooter out in the cold. When I kem to in the chapparel—being bevin’ half oncomfor table like from only a shirt on—I found nigh on three pounds o’ gravel and stones in my pockets and a stiffness in my ba’r. I looks up and sees Bill haogin’ in the forks of a hick¬ ory saplin’ twenty feet above me. "Cap,” sez he, in an inquirin’ way, ‘‘hez the tornado passed ?” “Which ?” sez I. “This yer elemental disturbance—is it over ?” “I reckon,” sez I, “Because,” sez he, “afore this yer electrical phenomenon took place I hed a slight misunderstanding with a stran¬ ger, and I’d like to apologize !” And with that he climbs down, peaceful like, and goes into the shanty, and comes out, hand-iu-haud with that etranger, smilin’ like an infant. And that's the first time, I reckon, we know’d anythin’ about the Gentleman of La Porte.” An Unsuccessful Stratagem. The wife of a well-to-do tradesman in the Boulevard Voltaire, writes the Paris correspondent of the London Morning Post, has read her husband a lesson so original in its conception as to be worth recounting, though its re¬ sult hardly recommends it for imita¬ tion. He had of late devoted his af¬ fection almost exclusively to the bottle, and his better half, finding all curtain lectures fruitless, at last arranged a lit¬ tle practical joke, which she fondly im¬ agined would produce such an impres sion on him that his conversion lrom ev il ways must follow. When her lord and master came home one evening recently, he was so drunk that he fell asleep iu his arm-chair before the meal began. The lady, it should be men¬ tioned, had been preparing the she way for au ingenious threatening stratagem commit was meditating, by reform; to and suicide if he did not no sooner did she hear him snoiiug sound¬ ly than she put her plan in execution. She had made provision of a lay fig¬ ure, obligingly leut by a milliner, and having clothed it iu ouo of her dresses, with her best bonnet on its head, she tied a rope round its neck and hung it up to the hook of the chandelier ; she then left the house and her victim, fondly calculating on the lemorse in store for the latter. The sleeper awoke in half an hour, aud was certainly deep¬ ly affected at the sight of what he took to be the dangling corpse of his moiety He screamed to his neighbors that his wife had hanged herself, and news of the catastrophe having been immedi¬ ately taken to the police station, the commissary arrived in hot haste, ac¬ companied by a doctor. The trick was of course discovered by those gentle¬ men ; but when they awoke the be¬ reaved husband from the second sleep of the just into which he had dropped, his rage at discovering he was not a: widower knew no bounds Tbe lady, on her return, tar from being flattered by the depth of his remorse, had to escape in haste from the consequence of the disappointment she had created for him. Poison. It is an understood fact that Yellow Fever and its companions, Intermittent aud Remittent Fevers, are the results of poisoued blood, made impure by breathing an infected atmosphere. No medicine in existence will so quickly purity the blood, as Warner’s Safe Kid ney and Liver Cure, used in connection w i t h Warner's Safe Pills. - ^ - Eliphaz, the Temanite, asks Job if “a wise man should fill his belly with the East wind.” A colored preacher ou being asked what he should infer trem the text, replied that he should that it would be a long time be the wise man would grow fat on it. 1 A Young Croesus. Estates whose values are by millions, seekjng’ heirs and are so seldom heard ofnow-a daySi thafc the account of one> wb ich a Philadelphia boy was recently advised that he had fallen heir to, calculated to awaken fresh interest in the p088ib i llt i es G f life. The testator, Alfred B. Carin, a bachelor, reported to be worth nofc leas than $4,000,000, was known up to t.hetime of his death, as the king of stock-breeders in tralia, and lived in a way his great wealth on a vast estate, near Wagga Wagga, in that country. His name will be remembered J^y those who were interested in the Tichborne trial, held in London six years ago, as the most witness for the claimant of the Tick borne estates—appearing as the man who first employed Arthur Orton ns a herder, on his alleged ariival in Aus tralia, and whose testimony as to the personal appearance of Orton, when he first saw him, corresponded with Lady Tichborne’s description of her son and heirasshe knew him before he left home. According to Dr. Kenealy, Or tone counsel, over $100,000 was con tributed by Mr. Carlin to aid the claimant to establish his heirship. Nothing was known of Alfred Car lin's antecedents among the few with whom he associated, but he was gener ally supposed to be without relations, Shortly after his death, however, a will was produced by his attorneys, Browne and Silaby, in Wagga Wagga, direct ing the sale of his property and pay ment of the proceeds to his heir, whom he named. Efforts were at once made by the at torneys to place themselves in commu nication with Mr. Carlin's heir, and the result, after consid^ kle trouble and delay, was that early last January a letter was received by Wm. S. Carlin, at No. 2,081 Mount Vernon street, from Tabor, Wales & Perry, solicitors, No. 41 Strand, London, setting forth the demise of his uncle and requesting him to prove his identity and thus his claim to the inheritance. After recov ering from his astonishment Mr. Carlin who had never heard of this uncle, took the letter to A ilia, ui' A mother. S i JLLj At first ofcro witcrmuiiuou i 1 i —. a hoax, but afterward recalling refer¬ ence to a brother which her husband once made during his lifetime, she ad¬ vised the son to answer the letter. The result has been a continued correspond¬ ence and the probable settlement of the property upon the heir within two months. It appears that the deceased left his home in England when he was about 20 years of age, and was supposed to have gone to China on a merchantman, shipping as a common sailor. Nothing was hearn of him afterward and he was given up as dead. About 15 years ago a letter was received from him by the father of the boy who now conies into possession of his estate, and of whose existence he was then advised. That it was the last heard from him until the recent advices of his death. Wm. J. Carlin, who may now be said to be one of the wealthiest young men iu America, is about 21 years of age, unassuming in his ways and of boyish appearance, The mother and son live in an elegant little home at the above address, and are said to be in very easy circumstances.— 1 he Philadelphia Press. Rennie Nash had lain abed for several years at South Hadley, Mass., helpless with rheumatism. The physi¬ cians could do nothing for him. He lately sent for a Connecticut colored woman who had the reputation of being wonderfully effective m prayer. She touched his forehead with oil, laid lier hands on his shoulders, aud prayed three hours cyntinuously for his cure. Then he got up and walked. The 6taid Northampton Gazette tells the story aud vouches for its truth. The census returns give Utah a pop¬ ulation of 1-14,000, an increase of 65 per cent, in ten years. At thft, last Apiril conference the Mormons report ed their population at 112,000 leaving 32,000 Gentiles. In 1870 there were less than 10,000 Gentiles, Their in crease is 200 per cent, and that of the Mormons of 45 per cent, A TeDues.ee suitor wrote to sweetheart as follows: “Your father kicked me last night, and forbade me the house. If I whipped him, would it lessen your love for me,’’ She replied that it wouldn’t, and the parent* wn« soundly thrashed. ----— * Rev. E. W. Warren stated in a re cent temperance address, in Macon, that education cost our State $2 000 - 000 a year, and liquor cost $15,000, 000. ’ - A brakeman on an Indiana freight train, who permitted a man to ride with him on the top of a car, undertook to collect fare, and shot the passenger : for refusing to pay. SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1880. Another Peacemaker Killed, After Taking the Part of a Wife who had been Knocked Down by her Husband. horribly Thursday morning the body of a man, j 1 lonely mutilated, was found on a road between Summit Hill and Coaidaie. It proved to be the body of James Woods, employed by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company as en gineer. He was found lying over a ledge of rocks about one hundred yards from Bull Run, Pa., a small mining village, and immediately people in throngs congregated at the scene. The first theory was that the murder was another Molly Maguire outrage, as Woods was an Englishman, and em ployed at the colliery, but investiga non pre/es it the result of jealousy, Woods was returning from the funeral of Miss Boyle, at Summit Hill, about sundown Wednesday, in company with William Orr, a Scotch-Irishman, and his wife, and James Churchill and wife, Orr and his wife quarelled, and Orr knocked her down, and she claimed protection of Woods. She arose and kissed Orr, who knocked her down again. Then he quarrelled with Woods for interfering. The party sat down in the road, Orr and wife being togeth er. Woods continued his homeward walk alone. It is supposed that Orr followed and overtook him at a lonely spot on the old Summit Hill road at Foster Tunnel, where he struck him on the back of the head with a base ball bat, which stunned him. Then he dragged him to the ledge of rocks and finished his work by banging in his forehead. Pools of blood indicate a terrible struggle. There is strange cir cumsfantial evidence against Orr, who was arrested Thursday by Officer S. F. Peeler. He was brought to Tamaqua, Pa., and locked up, and will have a hearing before Chief Burgess Friday, The base ball bat was traced to Orr, who was seen taking it from his gar den this morning to hide in his house, Orr denies all knowledge of the crime, Woods aves a wife and ten children, —Neio '<yrk Sun. Daughters. The mission of woman is foresliqsvp elonubf’’humanity,'gentleness, tender¬ ness, generosity, love. Mark a family just after the birth of a daughter. An infant comes always with a blessed message from God to the human heart. It is a reiteration of the old, but ever new commandment, "love one another.” It is a summons to duty, to disinterestedness, to self-denial, and it secures obedience by an appeal more powerful than aDy that can be made to the understanding. It well-spring opens the heart, 1 he fountain and of duty. More especially is this the case if the ne w born heir of human destiny add to its own helplessness the claim of belonging to that sex which through life demands the protection of the other. Even the little epithets of en¬ dearment, wlrch are natural expres¬ sions of ths gushings of parental af¬ fection, have a shade of tenderness to¬ ward a daughter which is not be¬ stowed upon aa infant of the rougher sex This arises not so much from any ma¬ terial difference in their present con¬ dition as from the anticipations of the future. The boy, though now weak and wailing, will soon develop© the strength; resouices, and courage of a man, and be able to buffet his way through the rude world. But the daughter, how little control is she to have over her destiny I Flow entirely is her of happi¬ ness to be placed in the power others, of those with whom Providence shall cast her lot! Added to this is the feeling that in the heart of a daughter they have a richer treasure than they can possess anywhere else. All things they feel are uncertain, but the love of a daughter cannot fail. Time and cir¬ cumstances may change. They may wax old, or be unfortunate ; and the world w ill pay its court to the young and successful, but in the heart of a daughter they can never be forgotten.

Instead of closing up the wounds left by civil war, the whole policy of the Republi¬ can leaders has been to keepthem open, to separate the North and South as hostile secdous, and to prevent perfect restoration of friendship and confi¬ dence. This reckless policy, intended to pro¬ voke hatred and to invite collision, if pursued to the bitter end, will make the name of the Union a mockery. The effect of electing the Republican can didate would be to prolong this agita¬ tion and to imperil the great business interests where success depends mainly upon established peace. Another Republican Administration following in the footsteps of its prede¬ cessor would naturally adopt the ex¬ isting modes of action. It would run in the same ruts and perpetuate the admitted abuses of the past twenty years. What motive would Garfield have to expose the frauds of Hayes and Grant, or to drag out from the vaults the proofs of jobbery, collusion, and rascality, which have been hidden away for years? Instead of exposure, he and his confederates would have every inducement to conceal the com¬ plicity of leaders iu veual transactions, and to close the doors against investi¬ gation, as they have been practically closed for the last twelve years. The best organized committees of investi¬ gation are comparatively powerless, while the public records, books and papers are in the hands of the investi¬ gated.

The estimates for the public service are made by the heads of departments, and Congress is large¬ ly dependent upon their accuracy in making the regular appropriations. Another Republican Administration would continue the system of wasteful¬ ness, subsidies, favoritism, and corrupt expenditures which was more marked while Garfield was Chairman of the Committee on Apf ropriations than at any former period of our history. His election would be a fresh license for The people are weary of srife and fraud. They want repose, good gov¬ ernment, honest administration of their affairs, development of tbo country’s resources, the obliteration of sectional lines, and an end of sectional agitation. These results can only be attained by a change of parties .—New York Sun. The Experiments. Two husbands in St, Louis have im¬ itated Dr Tanner with varvi.ig success. The first, a Justice of the Peace, told his good wife he had re-olved to eat nothing for forty days. Instead ot placing upon the dinner table that day the usual diet of corned beef and cab¬ bage she set out a meal composed of all manner of good things. It is need leas to state that her husband, upon eyeing the dainties, concluded that it would be idiocy to follow Tanner’s course, and straightway he set to work devouring the good things. The other, a clerk, read several columns ot news¬ paper articles on Tanner, aud then told his wife he had a good mind to try the fasting game.
