CL, V ,aly24,dtt - Care Obsenrer, Charlotte, N. 6, A ROMANCE OF THE GALLOWS. He Killed the Oltf .. nan Carved op the Children ausef 1U iho Faith leee Old Worst am -USf Iead Ho Wanted ts JHet,em in Heareat New Orleans Times, i He caved in the oldinan's head. He did it with hia little axe. The old man was in bed. The old man's wife was' very fond of him (the carver). She was tired of the old m an. Wives some times cret that war. (It is a very wick ed world). He and the lovely wife of the old man (made a widow in this summary fashion) disposed of the body, and accounted for the old man's ab sence in the usual ingenious fashion. They had a nice time for awhile on the farm and the money, and 'didn't miss the old man a bit. two nearts tnat beat as one" in the old, old fashion, you see. But other people -did. These "other people" are very annoying. They asked impertinent quesuuua. iubj uau uuiuu it into their uncharitable heads that the old man's wife had seemed to be too fond of the hired man, and they connected that fondness with the old man's disappearance. It was very un charitable, troublesome, and even an noying. For, if she was, whose busi ness was it anyway V Such things have happened since the world began. Will be to its end. And, he was a very nice hired man. She had two or three, perhaps half a dozen, children. They were her own unquestionable. The old man had con sidered them his also. Annoyed by the impertinent in quiries Of the neighbors about the old man whose head had been caved with an axe, this fond couple determined to leave such inquisitive people and seek to io joy their happiness in some un tried field. They packed their belongings in a wagon, took the old man's money and the proceeds of what the heart-broken widow could sell of the farm and stock, But if a woman sometimes gets tired of a man, it occasionally happens that a man gets tired of a woman, and even now and then of a woman of this affec tionate kind. One evening while the party were camping the hired man, who was now running the family, con cluded to diminish his responsibility by killing one or two of the children. He took after them with his axe. He had acquired facility in the use of that instrument by practice on the old man previously, and succeeded in braining two of them. The widow stood this like a heroine. They were possibly re sponsibilities of the husband "the old man and she was willing to send them after him. She helped hury them, and the lover and the lady moved on. But when the chosen of her affes tions proposed to thin out the camp and lighten the load still more by brain ing one or two more another night, she objected. She possibly had some ten der souvenir connected with these. (Women are so romantic, and so much the creatures of the affections !) Where upon the charming man she had en dowed with her heart, and who had, with his shiny little axe, delivered her from the bad old man, the husband, Droceeded to inform her, with expres sions usual in s: .ih cases, that if she in terfered he would bram her, too. She couldn't believe him ; for had thev not "confessed their love?" She did interfere. He mashed one or two. Then as she continued to make a fuss lie "chased her around the wagon," and nt last cracked in her own lovely head. Then, like a shrewd fellow, he took the monev and his legs and left the lady of his love for dead. But she wasn't dead. The axe had glanced. One or two of the young opes were killed, but she lived to call down veneence on the head of her "be trayer." ;He was caught, to shorten the story. He was tried and convicted, and a blood-thirsty judge sentenced him to be hanged. This wicked judge had probably not read the sermon on the Mount, or he would have told him, "Go and sin no more." ' But a condemnation and a sentence is now-a-days only the beginning. Oar murderer gets "a change of venue," something the dear lawyers keep bot tled up for the emergencies of tender hearted murderers and such. It didn't do him any good. He is found guilty again. Tnen tney try a -new inai on exceptions, another remedy for mur derers. He is still condemned. Then appeal is, as usual, made to the Govern or. He won't do anything. It is cleat this affectionate fellow, whose heart was too much for him, must hang. -i ,' v So he prepares to hang. A year or more has passed. The widow's soft heart may have yielded several times in! the interval, and the knowledge that this lovely woman had cast him off may have overcome our unfortunate friend, as only such a thing can over? come a sensitive nature. At all events he can't get out to kill her, so he "prepares to meet her in Heaven.". Here is the moral , of the story. . 'The6tateis Tennessee. No better nlace croiner to start for Paradise. Our friend starts. He repents. Hey turns pious, as they always do when convict ed, and the Governor won't pardon. He has "spiritual advisers" a variety Of preacher-men. They read and pray ithhim. He is very penitent. iHe itudies his Bible old version. I On the fixed daV the sheriff takes him out before several thousand people to hang him. He is prayed with. He prays himself. He preaches a sermon an hour long He warns everybody to repent, and follow him. He pleads with them to "meet him in Heaven." He pities their sad condition, and begs them to flee, as he has done, to the arms of mercy. He pardons every body. He blesses the crowd, and the sheriffulls the trigger, and he begins kicking with the blessing on his lips, and keeps it up for ten minutes the kicking, not the blessing. Do all murderers go express to Heav en ? Is that the one certain road for us poor sinners? Southern Progress. New York Herald.

ITEMS QW INTEBEHT. A colored man in Newberry, S. O, has invented a ; machine intended to plough on both sides of a cotton row and also chop out the cotton at the same time. An Indiana rattlesnake crawled into a canary's-cage, swallowed the bird, and t&en couldn't get out. He will never stop the music again. T Seedless watermelons can be grown thus, i The plan is said to be as follows. When the, vine has commenced running and the branches have attained consid erable length, throw a quantity of dirt upon one or mpre of -the joints of the branches, when they will shortly take root; then sever such branches from the parent stem and the melons grown on these branches will be devoid of seed. A Vienna chemist has invented a powerful soporific, by which a person may be instantaneously and helplessly stupefied. It is called "baudiger," and the chemist invented it in order to de fend. himself .against a ddg which was in the. habit of attacking him. After ward he offert-d it to the police as an instrument for overuoweringesperate men. He has invented an antidote. The Tagblatt says:. "Woe to Vienna and many other cities when the rogues come into possession of this novel, wea pon which science has prepared for the service of their craft. Quite a revival is going on among the fallen, women of Chicago,, that real ly promises to do some good. The movement began in the house of Min nie Brooks, the . proprietress of which declared her intention to cease her sinful life, ; dismissed her boarders and commenced holding daily prayer meetings. This religious fervor spread to other houses in the neighbor hood, and quite a number of women have announced their determination to reform. The Chicago papers believe that the movement is really a serious and earnest one, and that much good will come of it. The thirty-eight States of the Union contain 2,299 counties. Texas leads off, having 151 counties, followed close ly by Georgia's 137 ; but as many of the Texas counties are unorganised, it is a question whether or no Georgia does not head the list Of organized, fully equipped counties. After Georgia m the table come Kentucky with 117 counties; Missouri, 115 ; Virginia, 105; Illinois, 102; Iowa, 99; Tennessee and North Carolina each 94 ; and Indiana 92. As a rule the Southern States have more counties than the Northern States the difference arising doubtless from the use of township organizations in the latter, and the absence of such di visions in the former States. The in an Who Eats aien Raw. Wm. Manning, who seems a genuine maneater, created quite a sensation in Jersey City yesterday afternoon, says a Gazette special. He was in Justice Lane's court room, and created such a disturbance that the Judge had him ejected. Manning resisted violently, and bit a man who had seized him. After some trouble he was put out, but immediately went to roller's saloon in the basement, where he refused to pay for a drinlc Foller and his father un dertook to put him out, but Manning struggled desperately, and, getting Rol ler's arm in his mouth, bit it,- until he drew the blood. Finally, with the as sistance Of some others, they got him on the sidewalk and there the struggle was renewed. A young man named George McCabe went toFoller's aid and Manning attempted to bite him. By this time a large crowd had col lected, and on learning the cause of the disturbance and. Manning's biting ex ploits, stood and watched him from a safe distance. Manning stood on a cor ner for a fe w moments like a wild beast at bay, and then ran across the street and seized a boy named Thomas Mur phy, who was standing on the corner; and bending him backward, commenced gnawing at his breast Several persons ran to the boy's assistance ana seized Manning, .and forced htm to release him. . Manning struggled and fought, and four men had all they could do to hold him. They endeavored to take him to the station-house. Manning gave one named Hough a violent kick and knocked him , against- a door. Hough returned and renewed his hold, when Manning made a bite at him, and catching the rim of Hough's hatih his" mouth bit a semi-circular piece out' as clean as if cut with a knife. When nearing the station-house' Detective Dalton came to the assistance of the 1 citizens, and after a desperate struggle jMLaiiuuig was loagea in tne stauon house. When the ofllcer attempted to search him the prisoner became very violent again. He struck out right and left with his fists, kicked at every body, and attempted to bite the hands bf those endeavoring to hold him. Several officers went to the assistance of the others, but even then it became necessary to throw the prisoner on the floor. One man set on his head, anoth er sat on his body, a third on his legs, While three men . pinioned his arms be hind him with a1 stout cord. His legs were also tied, and in' that condition' he was carried down and put in a cell.
