A Lady Cured of Rheumatism. Baltimore, MU., May 7, 1880. My health was much shattered by Rheumatism when I commenced laking Brown's Iron Hitters, and I scarcely had strength enough to at tend to my daily household duties.

Thc following utrungo story of lawless love and lawless hato connected with tho hanging of Wary Sullivan by a mob in Caldwell county, Ky , on tho 29th of Sep tember, is piyon itt a lucent dispatch to tho Louisville Com mere ia I: About ten yeera ago there lived in ibo bottoms along Tra den a lev Uiver, in tho Northern patt of Caldwell county, two families destined to most leiriblo ends-tho Campbells, Reilly, J, 15. and Hud; and the Sullivans, Tom ond Mary. They wore considered neither belter uor worse than those about them. They were ignorant und luther shirtless, but so were tunny others in the neighborhood. Soon, however, thc country people round ubcut begun lo say strange things of TUB QI UL MARY SULLIVAN. Sho was n blight, quick girl of twenty, with light hair, ?i?bt blue eyes, and a lillie abovo tho medium in size. No mun for miles about could outlifihcr. With gun or pistol she was n dead shot. On horseback there wasn't u boy in thc country who could lido faster over rougher couutry, or who dared commit half the daie-dcvil pranks that Mary constantly delighted in. Tho effect of ?ll ibis io a quiet country neighborhood can hordly bo imagined. Mary Sullivan's uamo becunio thc by-wovd for till (hat wus infam?os, and ibo staid country millions lulled their babies lo sleep with stories of ibo boniblo Mary and her midnight irides and climes. Then rumor turned lo oilier Illings. Mary was often seen with ibo Campbell boys, and onco or twico sho wita seen with them and her brother late ut night, dashing o( lier usual breakneck speed over thc country roads. About ibis lime (he most dating robberies began lo bo committed in the Noll hom end of ibo county. Funnels found (hoir smoke houses open night after night. Several stoics were broken into and robbed, and, sinnige to say, no one knew wi.o committed thc crime One old fanner begat) lo mik very freely, Paying ho recognized Mary Sullivan ut me head of the Campbells bleak into li's suioke house A day orso afterwards Mary galloped up lo Iiis house, called him out and asked him what lie meant by Haying what lie did. '.Did you eco mo nnd thc Campbells at your smoke hou'C?" inked she, at thc same lime pulling a big navy revolver and shov i og it nuder his nose The old man si u in mcred out an apology, and was never afterward heard lo say a word.nguiust tho Campbells. Among the most biller denouncers of the ging was un old man named Volkers, who lived a few mi'es from I bein on the Tr.idowulcr. One night just three yours ugo two men, after wards discovered lo bc Tom Sullivan and Kiilly Campbell, rode up lo old man Fol ker's, took him ?nd his old wife out and beat them severely. They then rode od This affair caused the most intense excite - meut. A mob was hurriedly organized ?nd some forty men rode over lo Campbells' Mary Sullivan had in some way bend that lhoy wore coming several houis beforehand. She and her brother Tom went over 'o tho little log hut of the Campbells' und bani ea dod themselves, When thc mob onino np they demanded tho instant surrender of tho whole gang. Mary yelled out tauntingly: "Como on Hud get us, you cowardly dogs.1' Fire was opened by (bc mob and the Cuinpbells and Sullivans prouiply returned it. After ii little l!ic bescigod made it so hot for tho mob I hat it hid lo retire. Tho only mun hurt in tho meleo was Tom Sul livan, who wus shot in thc brest, but who soon recovered. Tho gung became more bold after this end robberies becamo moro frequent. Al ibis lime an event happened which was destined to cause the entire destruction of I he bund. Mary Sullivan met Crocket Jenkins. Tho meeting itself was romantic eoough to merit its being told. M uy wus riding ulong the Trudtwaler ono spring day two years ago when she saw n mun prepan ing to come over. Thc waler was deep, thc lillie river having been raised by frcqucnl ruins, und sho yelled over to him not lo at tempt to cross there Ho either did not hear her or paid no otlonlioo, for he plunged his horse in. Tho current was loo strong for tho horse, nnd ho soon threw his rider off and died to save himself. Then, willi his heavy winter clothes on Jenkins would most Certainly have been drowned but for Mary's dashing out into (he strcnm with her horse und rescuing him at (bo peril of lier life. Sho brought the man up lo ber brother Tom's to let him dry bis dollies. A mutual admira! ion Roon sprung up which quickly warmed into love. From that time on Alary Sullivan und Ciockct Jenkins were warm lovers. Jenkins, who lived sollie miles away, moved to Sullivans' und the illicit love of tho two was tho talk of tho country. From that limo on tho gang bad no moro luilbful follower than Crocket Jenkins. About a month ugo, however, Jonkius, tired of Mary, und be gun paying Iiis attentions to another woman. For Homo lime Mary wus ignorant of wlmt was going on, but when sho hoard it her jealous l?alo was terrible. "1 will kill Crocket Jenkins if ho dares to betray me," sho had said to moro thou one. At lengih tho store) burst. Ono night about a month ugo Mary ocouscd Ciookct of his infidelity. Ho laughed ot her. Sim was too cxoiled to get her pistol, but sprang nt his throat. A struggle foU o A ROMANTIC F.PISODK. lowed, uod Mary would havo strangled him i hen and there but for ioterferonoo. Crochet left tho houso. Sooio time before this ibo band moved up from Tradcwator boiloios, and hired a little grocery eotno four miles away ou a publio road loading to Princeton. A day or so after tim fuss be tween Moly and Crooket a orowd of men from IM ned on were riding by tho litt'o grocery, all drinking very freely, wheu ono of them, in a moment of recklessness, fired off Iiis pistol. Tho Campbells, thinking Ibo mob was cn them ogaio, rushed oat of tho grocery and begin firing. Tho nico returned tho shots and then galloped on to town. This created another tempest of excitement mid tho next duy a mob was got together to EXT BUM I NAT 6 Ttl G OAMIMIEI.LS. Thc next night folly men, aimed lo (ho teeth, with musks on their faces und hailed in their hearts, swept down thc road toward (bc little log cibin whcio (ho Campbell's kept I heir grocery. Tho leaders were picked men, and (hey were followed by some of thc most desper?lo men iu tho county. lt was resolved to do no half woik (his (imo but to make a sure job of it. At a dead gallop (hey rushed up to the house and in nn instant it was HUI rounded. Tho folly men sat on their hoi soi like statues, und each with a shotgun in Iiis bund, tho hammer raised, linger on (rigger ready for work. In ibo house was a family named MoMuilry, an old mun and some small children. Tho only other inmates of (he houso wcro licitly Campbell and bis brother Dud. Thc lender of tho mob culled out lo Ibo MoMurlrys (o leave lho house, which lliey instaot'y did, standing out in thc woods shivering and wailing for what horror they haidly knew. Prepara tions were instantly made by thc two men in thc house for a light (otho death. Quarter was neither asked or given. Thc Tho mob opened fnc mid thc Campbells unsweicd (hem. Then I he (iring became Gerce and fast. A groan and muticrcd curso came from thc outside, und u little group hoi i ted n mun oil in their arms lt was i lice Johnson, n well-to-do, respecta ble funnel'. He had a ball ilirough lin bieast and bled to death out on thc road with the pistol balls flying over his iicad singing Iiis requiem. Then a groan carno fi om within and licitly Campbell fell in a pool of blood at his brother's feet, a corpse. But Dud stood to bis guns, doggedly firing away into tho night whenever ho saw thc flash aof an enemy's gun. How long this wild wnrfaro might have lasted no one knows. Dut Dud's ammunition gave out and bis shots became less frequent. Tho mob closed in on bim. Thirty niuo (o one, surely it was madness to resist any longer. Dud did resist, however, and butricuding doors mid windows he stood ready with a clubbed guo in bis baud In defend his life I lo the last. Suddenly ho began to smell smoke ubotit bim.

Twenty pistols wen levelled ut him, hut lie fell before tho bundi that wcro so anxious to pull tho (rigger could move.

A rope was quickly brought, mid us the smoke of the buru'lUj cubit) Ho lied through tho trees it touch?e and moved tho dangling body of Bu< Campbell.

Sho roache tho door opened it nnd peered out. The night was dark and windy.

'I be first, which excludes all peisons eon? violcd of on infamous crime, from tho tight of suffrage. It is to be presumed that no honest nud intelligent voter will objoot to this amendment. Criminals, who have been convicted of Lrccny, arson, burglary, rape and murder, should have nothing to do in making laws for the State or electing public officers. This will be a very proper und wholesome amendment to our Slate Constitution. Thc amendment, wbioh proposes lo give (bc Legislature the authority to appoint tho day ou which our State elections shall bo held, is also a very proper ono. This will cnablo us lo prevent thc United States iu supervising our Stato cleotions, wbioh they now have, by ordcting tho Congressional and Presidential elections to take pince at (he same limo and samo plaoo with our Stale elections. The other amendment, wbioh propeseu to give tho Legislature tho power to make u great many new counties in tho Stato, is decidedly objectionable. Tho expense of building new court houses and jails, having an additional number of clerks and sheriffs, an additional number of juries, solicitors, constables, judges and other publio officers, will amount to thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars and inctcuso tho taxes enormously. Eut this is not all. Each new county will have to bavo a Senator. This will givo thc lower country and tho negroes muire contiol of tho Se?alo, wbioh uo Democrat or upper countiy voter should sanction. [ know that it is said that a Dcmooiatio Lcgislaturo will not do this. Dut what cerlaiuty have wo that tho Legislature will always bo Democratic? Local influences muy bc brought to bear on a D?mocratie Legislature to divide sonic of the hugo counties in thc lower purt of tho Stufe. Wo should let well enough alono. Tho counties now aro not too largo for publia convenience. If this Constitutional amendment should bc adopted there will bc applications fur new counties by the dozen. Every depot and cross road store will wish a court house. By oil means voto against (his amendment, which will provo a dangerous and most expensive experiment. Our tuxes aro already sufficiently enormous and wo oaa not well bcur any addition to them. li. F. PERRY, Sanssouci, Oct. 13, 1882.

Tho Now York World gives tho follow iug condeusod account of a roccot sermon OD prohibitioo by Mr. Talmage: io tho course of his remarks Mr. Tal mogo said ho oould seo DO necessity for the existence of cither tho Republican or tho Democratic party, and that a now party should arise willing to recognize Qod in its platforms and roady to thuudcr against in? temperance, und with national pn'-ibitioa destroy the monster of alcoholism. In a few yetna, he said, thc prohibitionists would bold tho balance of power in every Stato so that DO ono could bo elected Governor unless bo was a straightout prohibitionist and io twclvo years they would placo a President of their choie? io tho White House. American slavery, bc declared, was a pet lamb beside ii:temperance. "I nominale for President and Vioo-Prcsideot in 1884," bo said, "two men-and I oarc uot which heads tho ticket-Qovoroor St. John, of Kansas, and Governor Col quilt, of Georgia." (Applause and oiicB of "Good") "Oh, my Lord and my God," bo exclaimed, "what a country this would bc without a dram shop!" (Applause.) Mr. Tjlmage said he would have au amendment to (ho national Constitution passed prohi biting tho manufacture, eulo and importa tion of oil alcoholio liquors except for medicinal, scientific ond artistic purposes, and ho would have a grand National Prohi bition Convention c.died lo meet next year or thc year after, ile asked the conven tion to meet io Brooklyn, and "os on this platform Governor St John nnd^ Governor Colquilt had sut sido by Bide ii*,a temper* anco meeting, I invito tho convention to assemble in this house of God " Mr. Tulmago tbeu said (hero bad Dover been so much diuokenocss io New York and Brooklyn as now, ond thot he believed that a national prohib'liou law could bc en forced.

Let Her Have a Monument. Tho best natured woman in tho United States lives io Austin. She bas been mar. lied a number of years to a man named Ferguson, but sbo and her husbard havo never had a quarrel yet, ond bo has frequently boasted thp.t it is utterly impos sible lo make bot angry. Ferguson made several desperate attempts to seo if ho could not exasperate her to look cioss or scowl at him, merely to gratify his curiosity, but tho more outrageously he acted thc moro affable and loving sbo appeared. Last week bc was talking to a friend about what a hard timo bc had tryiog to find out if bis wife lind a temper. Tho friend offered to bet 850 that if Ferguson wcro to go homo drunk, raise a row and pull tho table cloth full of dishes off tho tablo she would show some signs of annoy ance. Ferguson said bo didn't want to rob a fi ?end of his money, for bo knew bc would win; but they at lust mode tho bot of $50, tito friend to hide io tho front yard and watch thc proceedings of tho conven tion through tho window. Ferguson flume homo late and apparently fighting drunk. She met him ut (ho gate, kisscdjhim and assisted his tottering stops to thc house. Ho sat down hard in tho mid dle of tho floor and bowled out: "Confound your ugly picture, what did you moan by pulling that chair from under me?" "Oh ! I hope you didn't burt yourself. It is my awkwardness, but I'll try not lo do it again," and she helped him to his feet, a'though soe bsd nothing lo do with bis fulling. Ile ?hen set down on tho sofa, and slid ing off on tho floor, abused her liko a pick pocket for lifting up tho other end of tho sofa, all of which she took pood naturedly, and finally she lcd him to tho supper tob'e. Ho throw a plate at her, but she acted as if sbo had not noticed it, and asked him if bo would toko tea or coffee Thon tho bruto seized tho tablo cloth and sat down on thc floor, pulling tho dishes nod everything else over with bim in ooo grand crabb. What did this noblo woman do? Do you suppose she grumbled and talked about going homo to hor ina, or thot she sut down und cried liko a fool or that she sulked or pouted? Not a bit of it. With a pleasant smile she said: "Why, George, this is a now idea ain't it? Wc havo been married ten yeirs aud haven't ever jct otc our supper on the floor. Won't it bo fun-just liko those picnics wo used to go to before wo got married." And then this angolio woman deliberately sat down on tho floor olongsido of tho wretch, arranged tho dishes and fixed him up a nioo supper. This broke Qeorgo all up.

Many are to bo fouod in our churchehs' who know thc truth.

Arc you waiting till you are eick? Surely you will not ?.ell me that is a ooo - veuient season.

Aro you wailing till you aro otd? Surely you huvo not considered what you say.' . You will serve Christ wbon your mern bora' are worn out and decayed, and your hands iinflt to work. You will go to Him when your mind is weak and your memory fail og. You will give up the world wheo you' juunot keep it. You will sot your a rte o' .iona on tilings above wheo you und notti ng to set them on in things bolow. ls this pour plan? Beware, lest you insult God! Aro you wailing till you havo leisure? \od when do you expect to havo moro timo than you have now? Every year you live leonis shorter than tho last; you lind more ,o (bink of and to do, and lens power and >pportuni(y to do it. And, after all, you {cow not whether you nr.y live to seo an-? >ther year. Boast not yoursoif of tomorrow; mw is the time. Aro you waiting till your heart is per "colly fit and ready? That will nevor bo. [t will always bo corrupt aud sinful-a nibbling fountain, full of evil.
