" if I bad another opportunity I would
Dot try to shoot the President," said Uuit
,eau Friday. " I thought I had an inspi
ration to remove him, but I see I must
Jibve been mistaken. I thit.k it is ordained
fcyvd;,tlwt ifce 'resident shall not be
killed, awl foMliut riason I would not try
It again if I hud a chajicu Ir it were not
Jecneo by Cod that l;e should not be
killed, bow could he be alive now? I lit Id
1 the pistol close to his buck, and my hand
j was as sUady as iron, I fired point blank
ij l bim, and nothing but Divine interposi
tion ' could baved savtd him. He will not
die,. I am convinced, and I am s rry I
caused him so much suuYnng. Jt s no
nee for aoy one to try to kill bim now, for
jif I could not do it with the chance I had,
fD bullet can do it. It is so ordained, uod

PEATH FROM UGHT LACING.
The Glascow Ncu-s says : The evils of
tight lucing were shown at an inquest
which was held last week at Kilburn upon
the body of Mrs, Amelia Jury. Dr. If ill
state that upou making a post mortem
.examination be found that the stomach
.contracted jp me middle by a m in
band,' narrowing it one eighth of the usual
s z; 10 there were virtually two stomachs,
ntl this contraction was in a level with
in leu tut ion on the liver, corresponding to
,where the stays tightly bound louud. The
liver itself was flattened out, and waa
driven down very deep into 1 he pelvis also,
and there was no douot but what this ws
also produued by tight hieing. The coroner
said that he some time ago held un inquest
where it was shown that the liver had
been very serious'y injured through light
Jaciog, and perhaps these oases wou'd act
as a caution against the practices now
adopted.
SAD CASE OF REPENTANCE AND
DEATH.
Io London a poor man, carpeqipr, was
charged with abandoning bis Imnily, ami
was sentenced to twenty-one days' impris
onment, with herd labor. While iu prison
jie broke down at labor and was placed in
the infirmary, the doctor tellin; him thut
4)6 bad heart disease and must be very
careful," On his leaving pris in he sought
bis wife and prom'sed amendmint if she
would return to bim and would get a room
I bis she 4d next day, aod on reaching the
apartment be expressed his phasure at the
comfortable horqe slie bad gut together,
kissed bis children und, falling at hjs wife's
feet, begge ler pardon, far his put rai
deeds, abci swore to become belter in the
future. As be continued kneeling a long
'jime bia wife became alarmed, and finding
Vim rigid, called, jn a neighbor, und the
poor fellow was found to be dead, haying

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE.
.Two acts of President (Jar field will en
dear Bin) forever to every mother and wife
'ii the land. ' His first' net after he had
taken the s'ojpmn oath os President ol the
Unitid State was to turo and kiss bis
fcged and weeping mother. His first act
fifter ho was wounred to the death was to
dictate a dispatch Jo' bis wife ; "lie hopes
you will come to him soon. He sends his
love to yon." To her who ia a wife or a
'mbtjier lb.elp (wp deeds will appeal with
touching force; and tht pathes ol Ibt words
Jo bis wife can hardly fail to bring a tear
to the eyes. "James was always a good
boy," his mother said not long ago, and to
pvfry one ixotpt the IxartlcM a;ij the
toullegn ibare could be p finer praise thao
Jhete simple wojds Thft( tie boy was
father of tbe man we nil know. 1 he love

To those who to-day are sufTt-ring most
the whole country offers its truest und most
heartfelt sympathy, and could the shoulders
ot many lessen the burden of their nfljiction,
the volunteers would make their grief as
light as air. Not to the wife and mother
of the Piesitlent, but to the wife ami mother
of a noble and devoted son and husband, a
shining example ol Glial piett nnd devoted
afivction, is this sympathy ifleied, ami to,
day thousands of prayers Epnken through
tears will be pnt forth in earnestness and

INGERSOLL ON STINGY MEN.
I despise a stingy man. I don't see how
it's possitile for a man to die : worth, five
million dollars or ten million dollars iu a
City lull of wunt, when be meets almost
every day tbe withered hands of beugary
and he white lips of famine. How a man
can withstand all thut and hold in his
hands twenty million dollars is pant com
prehension 1 do not see how bo can do it.
I should not think that he could do it any
more than he could keep a pile of lumber
when hundreds of thousands were drowning
in the sea, Do you know that I have
known men who would trust flair wives
with their hearts and homes, and not theii
pocket-book not with u dollar. When I
see a man of that kind I always think lie
knows what is most valuable. Tnink of
her asking you every day for a dollar or
two, or to humbly beg 10 Gfty cents.
"Wbut did you do with that two dollar
I gave ynu f" Think of her being afraid of
you. What kind of children do you expect
to have with a beggar and coward for a
mother? I tell you if you have but a dollar
in the world, and yoq have got to xpend it,
spend it like a king: spend it as though
you thought it were a dry leaf and you
were the owner of unbounded forests.
That's the way 10 ppend it. I had rather
be a beggar and fpend my last dollar like
a King, iiian be a king and spend my
money like a beggar. If it's got to go, let
it go. Get the best you can for yourself.
When you used to go courting how nice
jou looked I Ah, your eye was bright,
your step whs light, and you just put on
tlu best you could. Oh vou know that it
8 insuff -ruble egotism io you to suppose
that a woman is going to love always,
looking as bad as you can, Think of it 1"
Any woman on earth w II be true to you
forever when you d your level best. ..

SHARP EYES.
The power of observation ia given to
each person a'ike ; but ullhu,gh Ihey are
90 gifted, many 'ct through life seeing
0 mpu'tively little cf tht - which lies
before llum. Toe world is full of beauty
and it is also full of sufl'-ring ; their vision
js blind to bth facts alike. Having eyes,
they see hot and never know how much
they hive lwt ol enj tyment the plcustire
their is io alleviuting the sorrows of others.
An observing p rson will ollenlimca find
that which, to the ca-ul passer .by, seeipa
to be naught, yet proves to be of great
valqe wIk j; fceen eyes fall on it. The rich
carburet ores in the mountains of Colorado
were in plain sight of all who passed that
way, and thousands were looking for some,
thipg else or nothing at all, and did not
see them. Sonii; man came along wbu used
bisejes in the way ihey were intended by
looking close at what was before him, and,
behold 1 the riche s of the earth were bis.
He also found that (here were plenty of
men willing to help him in claiming the
silver. Thus he nut only b -nefited himself,
but others ulso, with his sharp eyes. Some
persons will plod along through life und
see literally nothing, while others walking
in the same path will foil iw after, with an
eye on the lookout for what might happen
to be of use to him, and be rewarded for
his patience. The first will wonder why he
did not see and improve lhejcl)ance and
mourn because he i so unlucky. It is so
eusy to place the responsibility 011 the word
"unlucky," uud it sometimes gets blamed
for what is generally the person's own fault.
But mens foresight is vert often faulty!'
ai d many a poor mortal is teribly deceivid
simply because be did not use his eyesight.
This false world is full of deceit and eliums
to caich the unwary when they are least
expecting it. It gives intense sutisfuciiou
to some people to think thut they have
been able to guin an advantage over smiie
one less sharp-sighted than themselves. A
keen eye, whi'e it brings pleasure to its
possessor by enabling "him' to see .niuch
that would otherwise lis hidden, ulso shown
him much of misery mid sift ring. Oilen
their lies beneath the smiling cou.iteiiuuep,
which is worn as a mask, a heart fillttl
with pain and anguish a lieprt wellnigh
broken will) its burden of sorrow, aching
for a word of s mputhy to be spoken to
give it rest, but which never comes. En
joyment' and sorrow, pain and pleasure,
walk hand in huud ; and those who can
aid the one or lessen the other are to be
envied, for they have their r. ward ; mid
those who use u keen eye to add to the
knowledge of others feel a gratification
which but few understand.
A FAMILY EPISODE.
At 8 o'clock the other morning a wile
followed her busbai.d down to the gate as
he was Btartiog for dowo town, and kindly
said to him.
AVilliam, you keow how sadly J need a
blue bunting dress.''
"Yes, dear," he remarked, "but you
know how hard up I am. As soon as 1
can see my way clear you shall have the
dress, and u new bat to boot. He patient,
be good, and your reward shall be great."
Forty minutes after that he emerged
from a restaurant with a big basket and a
fi-lipolc, bound up the rjver. In the basket
was a chicken, pick loa, cake, fruit, pic and
a bottle of liquid of a rich color, nnd he
was just lighting a twenty oent cigar when
his wife came along, .
.."What 1 you here V he exclaimed.
"Yes, I nm going to the market, Where
are you going wliat's in the basket ?
"I was going to carry this fish.pole
around to a friend on Jefferson avenue,
be modestly answered."
"And that basket?"
"This basket well I was going to take
it to the orphan asylum as a present to the
children, (t is a doi.atinn fn fl) six leading
citiz ns."
"William, I don't believe it."
"jSh j Don't talk so mud,"
William, I shall talk louder yet!" she
exclaimed. "1M bet you are going a
fishing."
"Mary, have I tver deceived you ?" be
plaintively asked. "I never have. As proof
of my siuceri y you can take this basket
to the asylum yourself."
'And I'll do it," she promptly replied,
an 1 she relieved him ol it."
.'Mary, hadn't you"
"No, 'Bir, I hadn't 1 You'd belter hurry
up with that fish-pole, as Ilia muii-may
want it, and be careful how you stand
around in the hot tun."
tjlie left bim there. He watched her
tuke the car for borne, and then he returned
the fish-pole and crossed the street, and
said to an acquaintance. .
'Tom,, I'm suffering with neuralgia, and
the ei,cii8iou is off till m t week. Too
bad, but we can never tell whut a day may
bring forth."
There was chicken and pickles and other
good thii gs on the table at dimi-r, but he
never smiled. Even when his wife wished j
ghe was as orphan, if that was the way
they were fe.l, he never betrayed the gloom
jn bis heart. It waa only when she liaiuh-d
him the bottle be hud so carefully tucked
into the basket, and he saw it labeled ,
Good lor Little Ohildi-en," that he n.ii.l :
'.NJ.iry, il i.t an awful thing lor anile
to get the impression that bvrliusband is a
cold-blooded liar.'.'
"It muH be" she replied as she took, the
other chicken leg.

A ROM A TIC STORY.
&H Antonio, Tkxas, July 7 Col.
Albert O. IMlon, whose beautiful 20,000
acre ranch is out toward the Rio Grande
war Laredo, lug been the Peter the Hermit
nf the Texuns for years. He came to Tex
as in 1844, u common soldier, By talent
and courage he rose to the rank of Colonel,
and Enully, in 1856, commandtd Fort
Mucrue. Thai year he fell in lova with a
beautiful Spanish girl ut A-h q iiti, New
Mexico. The admiraiion oi tie; 'young
people wtta muluul. und part ntal o' jt clioi 8
only intensified the alf ctions of the lovers.
Finally, alter two yt-aia ol entreaty and dc
votion, Col. f'elton won the consent of the
p-riia f iln beautiful Spanish girl and
they wt-rt? married.
One duy the two, accompanied by the
young wife's mother and twenty soldiers
rode ou: to the hot spriiiiS, six miles from
the. tort, to take a bath. While . in the
oaiii, wincli is near the U10 tjrunil e an
Indian arrow passid over tlieip heads.
Then a shower of arrows fell around them
and a band of wild Ap.iche Indians rushed
down uj'on them, whooping and yelling
like a band i f demons. Several of the
soldiers Ml dead, pierced with, poisontd
urrows. This friuliieofd Hie rest, who lired
another shower 'nf :irroW"i, and the beauti
lul bride 111 if 1 her mother dropped into the
wutt r, pieroed by the cruel weapons of the
A packs. With his wife dying before his
eyes, Col Helton dashed up the banks,
grasped his rifle, and killed the leader of
tiir nivaue fiel ds. But the Apaclus were
too much for the Colonel. Pit. recti w ith too
poisontd arrows, he swam the river and
liiil under an tiverhangin,' rock. After the
suvugisl.ad let"', the C dotiel swum the
river and made his way back to Fort
Mucrae. Here his wounds were dressed,
and he finally recovered, but. only to live
a blasted life without lore.withnut htipe--with
a vision of his beautiful wife, pierced
with poisoned arrows, lying perpetually
before his eyes.
After loss of his wife n change came over
Col. Pt lton. He seemed to think that he
had a sacred mission from heaven to
avenge her death. Jle secured the most
unerring rifles, surrounded himself with
brave companions and consecrated himself
to the work of revenge. He was always
anxious to lead any and all rx editions
agajnst the 'Apaches. Whenever any of
the other Indians were at war with the
Apaches. Col, Polton wouM soon beat the
head of the former. One day he would be
at the head of his own soldiers and the
next day he would be at the head of a band
of Mexicans. He defied Indian arrows
and courted death, Once, with a band of
the wildtst desperadoes, he penetrattd a
hundred miles into the Apache country.
Tbe Apaches never dreamed that anything
but an entire regiment would dureto follow
them to their camp in the mountains. So
when Col. J'ellon swooped down into their
camp with ten trusty followers, their
Henry rifles at the rate of twenty times a
minute, the Apachis fled in consternation,
leaving their w omen and children behind.
It was then that there darted out of a lodge ,
a white women.
"i-'puie the women !" she cried, m tl then
she fainted and fell to the ground.
When the Colonel juinpul from the
saddle to lift up the wi man he found she
wus blii.tl.
How came yi u lure, women, with tlie.-e
Apaelus?' luHsktd.
' I wus woundid and captured,' she said,
'ten years ago, Take ol, take me buck
again !' . I
'Have you any relatives in Ttxis?'
asked the Colonel..
No. My fat hi r lives in Albt quia. My
husband. Col, lVlton, tu d my mother were

' Ureal t!ot', Bella! is it you my wife?'
'Oh, Albert! 1 knew you would come,'
cxclu.med the poor wile, blindly reaching
her hands to clasp her husband.

Swift and Terrible Punishment for a
Double Crime,
A dispatch to the Cincinnati inquirer
from Atlanta, Ua., says; Last night, in
Heard county. Dear Albania, occurred one
of the most horrible instances of popular
indignution. Jesse Waldrop was burned to
us lies. Three months ago, in Randolph
county, Alabama, Dr. John Mitchell, a
prominent young physician, married Carrie
Knight, famed lor her beauty and accom
plishments. On the 29th of June, in the
joy of their honeymoon, Dr. Mitchell, was
walking up the road near his country
home, when he beheld what almost paral
jz d him with horror. His lorely wife lay
before him a ghastly corpse. Her throat
aw cut from cur to car, aod her body torn
with the fearful clutehts of her murderer.
It wus discovered that she had been vio
lated and murdered. The neighborhood
wus at once aflame with excitement, a: d
search for the guilty wretch was at once
begun. ; '-'-,
Jesse Waldrop . had long been in the
country, but there had followtd him ru
mors of his bad character. He was seen on
the road near where the corpse was found
on the day of the murder. .In the death
struggle the murderer had bitten his vic
tim severely on the cheek, and left signs
that one of bis front teeth was out, Wal-
drnp had this peculiarity. With these evi
dences, search for him was begun at once,
and it wus found thut he had fled. Trained
bloodhounds were obtained, and from the
scene of the murder they tracked him sey-
eral milts into Georgia. Here the pursuing
party heaid that Wuldrop had passed.
Gradually tracing him they arrived at
Xewnan, thirty miles from Atlanta, where
a ferryman described a man who had cross
ed the night before,' and the pursuers knew
thut AValdrop could Dot be far away.
At midnight 00 tbe 3rd the parly reach.
ed a house where thpy learned tint a man
calling himself Owen had stopped. They
demundid to be shown to bis room, und,
rapping on the door, Waldrop came out.
He was seized, and, afur a desperate re
sistance, bound, lie denied all kucwieelge
of the crime, und was taken to jail, though
the fury of some of the crowd demanded
his insUnt death. Next duy circumstances
were collected so strongly pointing to biri
that, trembling with fear, he coufeased all,
and after detuiliug bis damning story, told
of a life of crime which Tew police annals
can equal. U-. conlessed to having five liv
ing wives. When he confessed, passion rose
so high that he was uoout to oe swung.
when some one suggested that he ought to
die on the scene of bis crime, and that
hanging was too good lor bin). According
ly was left in jail until night before
ast, when fafty men, armed, but not dis
guised, went there and demanded bim. The
tiler gave him up, and the procession
started- All along the route people came
out to look at the prisoner and demand
that he should die. Several times the ex-
citiment grew so great that it seemed the
crond would wreuk vengeance on the I
wretch at once, but riding by bis side were
relatives of the murdered woman, who
guarded him and declared that they had
reservid him for a special fate.
Late yesterday afternoon the scene of
the murder was reached. Nothing wus done
rashly ; preparations for the exi cution were
made with ghastly coolness. Waldrop was
thinly tied and bound with wire to a stake
driven on the spot where his victim was
found, whin for the first time his digged
courage failed. He pleaded piteously, not
for life, but only to be ullowed to die by
'.! e gallows or bjl'et ; but he cried to men
of stone, and ot miduight one of the rela
tive pf the unfortunate woman applied the
torch to the pire whbh, saturated with oil,
had been piled around him. II is screams
rang out on the quiet country air, and the
fl tines lit up the scene with lurid glare.
The death struggles were horrid, but not a
man stirred. Standing in a circle around
the hnman sacrifice Hliey looked with stolid
iiid fT. rencc at the hori id expiation of his
crime, prom first to last the oflic rs made
no t It'pi t to suve the prisoner Tor a It gal
doom. If ihey had, it would have been fu
tile, for popular passion was frenzied.
Waldrop was 23 years old and a man ol
good addrtss.
