The tomatoes are cut who was the structure of his fortune, The disgraceful status of affairs be into halves and mashed in a barrel as he was on the morning of tho rob- came well known throughout the en- after the manner described for the I white Scuppernong wine. The mash- ed tomatoes are left in barrels to fer- men t for forty-eight hours, stirring them well twice a day. After that time they are pressed with high pressure, so as to extract all the juice from them. To each gallon of juice one pound of the best white sugar is added ; the juice and sugar are put into a well sulphured barrel, a vacuum of three gallons capacity is left, the bunghole closed airtight and the fer menting tube adjusted. In eight to ten days the wine is racked and filter- ed into another barrel, not omitting the 8ulphnr, and again one pound of sugar added for each gallon of wine, tho same vacuum is left, the barrel closed air-tight, and the fermenting tuble adjusted. After the expiration of another week the wine is again racked and filtered, and to every nine gallons of wine one gallon of the best sherry should be added. In this country this will be impossible, as no pure sherry can be procured except, perhaps, in some of the houses, of the upper tents of the North. Make a virtue of necessity and add to every nine gallons of tomato wine one gal lon of the best old Scupperuong, aud to each barrel one gallon of alcohol and two ounces of tannic acid (worth $3 50 per pound) ; leave in the bar rel a vacuum of one gallon capacity, close it air-tight and adjust the fer menting tube. In four to six weeks after the fermentation has ceased en- tirely tffc wjne will have deposited its sediment. It is again racked, and, if cloudy, filtered. The barrel is filled quite full and closed air-light. With age the wine will improve' and will resemble sherry in taste and color. Edward Preiss in Semi-Tropical. STEWABTS CADATER. Why the First Story of its Recov ery was Started. From the Washington Post. In regard to the story published in a morning paper which reiterates the assertion frequently made of late, that the remains of A. T. Stewart, which were stolen from St. 31ark's church on the 7th of November last, have not been recovered, but that negotia tions are making for their return by the resurrectionists, who demand a quarter of a million dollars and immu" nity from punishment, the following has been obtained: The information is based on facts that are incontrover tiblc, but as far as many newspapers go, it is the most antique of ancient history. It was peddled in a newspa- per office three months ago, and the clue to it was afforded by a drunkard, who in his cups babbled, about tho case to an intelligent citizen, who im parted what he had learned to a re porter. As long as Judge Hilton en- couraged the belief that Stewart's body had been recovered, many up- held him in the assertion that he not only did not deny but amplified the roports made shortly after the grave robbery.

Thi8 secret wa8 allowed to leak out, and a newspaper reporter, who was furnished for the occasion, caught the vatuaoie intormation ana published it. Then the affair was mystified and the story changed so. as to allow the body being secreted in many places. At any rate, it was represented that Mrs. Stewart's health improved when she was informed of the recovery of her husband's body, and in many news- paper circles the mystery was believed to be solved.1 Judge Hilton's reluct- anco to tell abcut the negotiation being ascribed to his unwillingness to relate what part he played in com- promising this ghoul felony, shows, as a matter of fact, that Judge Hilton is as uncompromising to-day in regard bery, when he made the most un- guarded assertion as to hisdetermina- tion to have the robbers bith the body, Mrs. Stewart now knows the truth, and it may be asserted that she is now as uncompromising as her adviser, In the account published thefactsare, that Stewart's body has uot l)een re- covered that $250,000 is the price on it, and that Judge Hilton is in posses- Ision of the coffin-plates, handles and and casket, and a portion covering, which were taken by the thieves from the vault in St. Mark's church- yard to serve as tallies in the nego- nations for the return of the remains, It is also true that the men who stole the body are known, but that there has never been an opportunity to ar- rest them and secure the body at one swoop. The hard work of the case fell upon Superintendent Walling, who has the full confidence of Judge Hil- ton, and what one knows the other is I cognizant of. Neither Walling, nor the officers who are in his confidence, are to blame for the present leak, and know of the commencement of it with murder had been discovered and the a down-town lawyer, and they or news spread like wild-fire through their agents have never lost sight of the neighborhood.

Here they came on BOB McCOBKLE EXECUTED. Yengeance of the Law TJpott & Negro Murderers Correfpondenee Charlotte Observer-! Statesyille, August idh. To-day Bob MeCorkle, colored, suffered the death penalty at Taylors-' ville, Alexander county. The case is one of which the general public knows, very little. Brief mention was made in the Observer of the 9th of November last of the murder of J. Wesley Wyeoff, in Catawba county, on the night of the 7th of" that month, but the full facts were never discovered until the case underwent legal investigation, and hence the story which follows will be new to your readers. HISTORY OF THE CASE. Wycoff, with his wife and three or four children, lived near Catawba Sta tion, Catawba county, N. C. The' were ignorant people, with no very nice ideas of the ways of the world. Wycoff himself was an honest,, unof fending man, and the character of his wife will be pictured. in the progress of the storv. Near them lived Boh MeCorkle, colored, a hunter, farmer and carpenter, a coarse, black, burly, wortherless negro, about sixt y years of ajre. His wife had died about six months prior to this murder and at that time he lived alone with his children. He was occasionally em ployed to work with and for Wycoff, and on these occasions be ate with WyeofTs familv and received other evi(jt,necs ()f distinction, usually ' " conferred by white men upon black na .., f.nnnii,. ;,;i,,i ift w,-,.,, house, and always on these occasions recejVed treatment of a neighbor upon - f (.ri nnu.ilifi. n n t fillip f Ka ind w 1 ILtl V.

Daring these absences MeCorkle was a fre quent visitor at his house. The negro's treatment warranted him in making advances which under other i . ii .1 i conun ions won i not nave Dee n thought of, and these being met, re lations of an illicit and shameful char acter beran between these two and one and ugl', repulsive negro, of . .. three score irood years : tne other a rather good-looking woman, perhaps thirt v-fivo years of aire, with blue eyes, fair complexion, and light har a woman who had sprung from a respctable stock of people. This in . 1 . i. .1 iimacv oegan eignt years oeiore me tragedy to which it led was enacted, and was continued through alT this period. Wycoff was told of it hut did not believe it. Conviction was finally forced unnn his mind, and then it was that, instead of taking a gun and shooting the monster down like a dog. he merely remonstrated with his shameless wife telling her that she must not allow MeCorkle to visit the hou.se thereafter in his absence ; if he did he (Wycoff) would kill him. This remonstance was, of course, of no effect, except that the woman re- peatcd to her paramour the threats of her husband, whereupon he asked her for a pistol of his which was in her possession receiving which ho re- marked that ho didn't want to kill anybod, but "if Wycoff crowds me tire neighborhood. Indeed, it appears that all the parties interested talked of it quite freely. Certain it is that Bob and Mrs. Wycoff did, and there- fore when the murder was com- mitted there were no two opinions as to the guilty hand. On the evening of the 7lh of November, 1878, Wesley Wycotf sat by his fireside. About 8 o'clobk one of the two dogs in the yard barked furiously and Wycoff got up and went out. A gun was fired; Wycoff exclaimed, "Lord have mercy upon my soul!" Fell prone upon his face and died. When the report of the gun d'ed awa' Mrs. Wvcoff turn- ed to her eldest child and said, "Jake your paps killed." The child of course would not go into the yard and the depraved woman would not. She did not retire that night, how- ever, but sat by the fire until morning occasionally dozing in her chair. It was after sunrise when she passed beyond the door-step, and even then she would not go nearer than within ten steps of the body. Meantime the for trial at the June term 1879, iiisilonor judge Graves presiding. A jury was secured ana tne trial commenced on Wednesday of the first weefe of the term. Sofitftdr' Adams wfis assisted in the prosecution by Messf'sv tl. Z. Linney of Alexander, and "ifbeo. 11. Cobb, of Lincoln ; the prisoners were represented by Col. M. h. ilcCorklc and Mr. W. G. Bulk head, of Catawba, and Col. G. N. Folk, of Caldwefl. Twenty-five" wit nesses were examined and the case was heard patiently. It may be well to Summarize the State's evidence : In the first place the illicit relations between the defendants were fullj es tablished. It was in evidence that MeCorkle had said prior to the mur der that if Wvcoff ever crossed his path he would -irct a blue pill." lie had told different people that he fre quently, lahl around WycofFs house at night to see if Wycoff treated his wife bflrffr on account of her relations with him (Bob), intcrtding, if he ever caught him healing her, to "drag him out." lie had discussed with a color ed preacher the possibility of a man's gctlinif forgiveness for murder; he had said to a friend, the morning after the' murder that . he had 'rolled and sweated" all niurht, not being able to sice). Several witnesses swore that thej knew the rcjwrt of MeCorkle's gun and it was that which they had heard in the direction of Wycoff s house on the nirht of the murder. A piece of brown paper wadding had I been pk.Ued p in t d,,7 h.uU .id 1.. the yeard'near' the dy a:id had been found to 'IV.. V'V. " correspond with paper in McCorkle's shot pouch. Bob had often toid peo ple? (hat he loaded with ten shot, and terf shot were ' ta-'ker Yiom Wycoff's bodv, these corresondig with e-ho' in licCorUle's pouch. Tracks had h en discovered near the dead body ; these led ?n tfce Y:rchj7i of j5ol's house and were identified as Bob's tracks. The dog which1 had barked on the night of the murder was a small dog which Wycoff had but re cently gctten and vmieh die? not ktio MeCorkle ; the other, the b?g,er do, knew MeCorkle -f the other, th'e ?a'rger dog, knew him well,-had hunted w it'll' him frequently, and this dog did not hark. On the 0th Mrs. Ytycof?" liild Bob had been scerr together in the woods in earnest ctmrersirtron ; 6ti the evening of the 7ih the evening before the night of the murder they we"e again seen in cor?VeT?jttffm. Various t hreat s which MeCorkle bad uttered against Wyeoff were proved, and it was in evidence that Mrs Wycoff.had-said on one occasion that if she could' jei - rid of that husband she would never have such another. The prisoners' counsel sought in vain to break this chain of evidence. There was not a flaw in it. Messrs. MeCorkle and Folk for the defence ; Linney and Cobb for the State. Fii day evening at 8 o'clock the judge delivered his charge and the jury took the case. Saturday morning at 4 o'clock they returned with a verdict of guilty as to both defendants Mc-. Corkle as principal, the woman as ac cessory before the fact. A t 10 o'clock of the same day the prisoners were brought out to be sentenced. The court asked counsel if they had an reason to assign why sentence of death should not bo pronounced upon Bob MeCorkle. Counsel responded frankly that they had not. Their clients, it was stated, had had a pa tient and impartial trial, and there were no grounds upon which they could base an appeal. The most they bad to ask was that the prisoner at the bar be given as much time as possible in which to prepare for death. At this juncture the prisoner himself arose and exclaimed, "May it please your honor, put me through right off; don't keep me hero no longcr'n 3-ou kin help, I am ready to face death ; other men has fotch me to dis." So he rambl;d along for some little time, neither confessing nor denying the murder. When he had finished the court sentenced him to bo banged on the 15th of August, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2. p. m.v Turning to Mrs. Wycoff the court sentenced her to imprisonment in the penitentiary for the remainder of her natural life. Shaking hands with their counsel the prisoners were led back to jail. A week later Mrs. Wycoff was landed 1 in the penitentiary at Raleigh aad the last act of the brama was wit nessed to day. The execution was made public, and when I arrived at Taylorsville this morning I found the streets crowded with people from all the surrounding country. There were fully three thousand people present. Tho prisoner was interviewed n his cell and denied anv knowledge of the murder of Wycoff, confessing nothing except criminal relations with Mrs. Wycoff. He was led out at 12:10, seated on his coffin and driven' to the gallows, at the foot of a hilli a quarter of a mile east of the village surrounded by a guara 01 one hundred men, around with every irr.,..rm:h1e weanon. On the scaffold he joined in the, singing of a hymn and two prayers were then said. MeCorkle then sang alone two byni and arising threw his coat into the wagon and harangued the crowd. lie made no reference to the murder, talk ing only of his own happiness and urging his hearers to forsake evil ways.0 ' When he had finished this he sang another hyircrf, then drew off his boots and said he was ready The he riff severed the rope with one blow of an ax and at 1:35 the drop fell. There were convulsive movements of the hands and legs, ai.d ody then turned around and around.

The only reference niftdv.flt an time on the scaffold to the murder of Wycoff was when a frienVl askel the prisoner if he had killed him. To this he replied that he did not, lilt he h id an idea who did. A Sontlieru Exile's Cltamder.

The contents consisted ot le huantepec bonds, and the Confederate Secretary, when informed of But ler's exultation over his capture' remarked with tho loss of those bonds he would be left withotv a dollar in the wold. Tiii-; c nil'essio i was made at a dinner at which a dish of rusty bacon, cooked with cow peas and washed down with orn cof fee, composed the whole menu. A gentleman, over fifiy, who had for thirty years enjoyed an income of over 20,0U0. per wini'im, was 'reduce I. ft;' this cmdifrn hi two Tears by bis devotion -to-doty, to princ iple, and to the demands of honor and patriotism.

One irrati fying proof of the reality oflhis achiev tnent is furnished by tjie fact, which we learn authentically, that Mr. J. P. Benjamin, Queen's counsel, recently purchased a very clogent residence in Taris. giving therefor 300,000 francs cash. It is added that this large sum does not exceed one half of his yearly income from the highest courts of Great Britain. To these courts the large pressure upon his time and labor has compelled Mr. Benjamin to limit his practice. The briefs declined by him would double his income. But, always' accustomed to do well and co t n j I e t e 1 y e v e r y t h i n g h e u 1 1 d e r 1 00 u , he has been forced to reduce the amount -of his labor within the com pass of his wonderful capacity and in dnstr We doubt if these, have ever been equalled by any other aspirant for distinction and success at the English or American bar. From gentlemen who have recently called on him in London we learn that his labors are incessantly prosecuted in his office for at least twelve hours of the twenty-four, and that he still has a few hours to spare for enjoj-ment and recreation with bis friends, to whom he is always welcome as one of the most genial and vivacious of com panions. So far from being affected by this intense labor bis physique ex hibits a scarcely perceptible change from that which he exhibited when he was a leader at our bar, and at that of. the United States Supreme Court from Louisiana and the most brilliant and effective orator and debator in' that body twenty years ago, or when Secretary of State of the Confederate States fourteen years ago. His hair still maintains its raven hue, un frosted by sixty seven years of trial and labor, his flashing eyes have all their bril-' liancy, needing no aid of glasses to perform their work, and his hand some face wears still that winning smile which is rarely preserved by masculine countenances and is one .of the happiest cefhstitutcnts of vtomanlT beauty.
