"?nri for Heaveti's sake how j'dftl you

:6 hadn-'frmefcsince~l$74, when Bragg was
? Sheriff:and I .was. County. Judge inlthe
. newly-organized .Ctouuty. oCTom; Green,
in the State of Texas;^
The first person* who\ appeared before
Df;';r.me'.in my official capacity, was a man by.
!>>y-the name of Jefferson "Wilkes. He was"
of the tramp trampy,' limped "from'the
^i- effects of a scalp wound" on the^ankle;
and had his mouth drawn all to one Bide,
-i: . aa if he had been accidentally hit' by ?
< i spent Haut Bandwicfilp:*-' \ '/J
- ; The:marf had oh1 the previous evening'
in the principal street of the town fired
off his pistol with murderous intent at a
^reputable citizen named Wilkinson.
The bullet had missed its mark, but had
?broken a largeOpiate-glass window in the
^-. v^ront of the most. popular saloon of the
townV The people were indignant, and
?f some of the ; prominent citizens insisted
. / upon an example being made of this
man Wilkes, who was a stranger. They
hired a lawyer to assist the County At*
r-H-- tdrney in prosecuting- him, and so " thai
- 'the most extreme punishment under the
law might be visited on Wilkes the charge
of shooting at Wilkinson was abandoned,
and he was arraigned for breaking the
^^^Ufe'g^s window;, which was the pride
? of the town..
Mr. "Jefferson Wilkes had no defense,
and'I sentenced him to bix months in,
the.county jail. The devil of it wa3 that,
4:. being only a recently organized County,
? 1 we had not had time to build a'jail.
|rfr<After sentence- Mr. Wilkes was turned
;over to the Sheriff, who did not know
fe>'. 'what in the world to do with him.
Ifi - /."Here,, here,'' . said the Sheriff to me,
' .'!what have you gone and done? I've
c^rgot no jail to put this man in. What am
'-^--Jgoing to do with him ?"
My reply was, "That is none of my
business. .The law says the man shall
baiucarcejated m,the county jail for six
mont hs, and the law also implies that the
Sheriffshall be custodiau of the prisoner
during that term. Now you may do
^ H; what you please."
After. some discussion between the
^VivtmeriiFand myself and the other county
:r officials, we suggested to the prisoner
|r that he would stay within the bailiwick
tg'y&u*9' 'i six ; months, and that we would
j?r givjiouBly waiv^the matter of putting
.';n'iiit in jail. ' He said that he was a citi
\zen?f the United States; that he knew
his rights under the Constitution, and
that he would be dog- gaated if he would
l^??jany?iing of the kind. He continued:
i"C"It. is your dnty?hot only your duty but
your privilege?to entertain, feed and
:' care for me during these six months, and
.'. now^wbat are yorfgoiDg'to do about it ?"
- The first day the Sheriff had to sit' with
would not allow ' anch a -disreputable
person e3 the prisoner to come inside the
door.
The next day Baldwin Bragg/ the
Sheriff, came to me and said; ' "What
kind of a Judge are you, nohow ? Don't
you know no law? What's the matter
of your sending a man to jail when there
ain't no jail?' WBy, rMJv?ear~it;will
cost me over ten 'dollars a week' to keep
this scoundrel in the hotel at Sau Jose
and it will cost another twenty dollars a
week to hire a man with a gun to watch
Mm. . Now see if " yon can't use your
blooming influence to induce this ruffian
to escape. You fix it and I'll wink at
his departure."
I called around to see Mr. Jefferson
Wilkes, the prisoner.
"See here, Wilkes," I said, "this is a
pretty tight place you got into and I am
sorry for yon, but I could not do any?
thing else than give yon six months.
The law allows me no discretion in the
matter, but I like you, for you are ap?
parently a whole-souled fellow, and I
want to tell yon how I think you can get
but of thisBnap." .
"WeU,how??
"Come here"; and I took him up into
an alley and said confidentially, "This
H is how?escape!"
p.- j~ "But I don't want to escape. I want
to live with you, and maybe die with
i;v you. I don't want to work. You gave
[:.. me six months and you have to support
: me for that time, and keep me at tb.9
^hotel or the jail,, or somewhere ; but you
. haven't got no jail, so I am rather of the
. opinion that. I have got a soft little
'snap."
We saw that this offer wouldn't work,
'so after some consultation I again ap?
proached the prisoner and told him, with.
"; a.view to induce him to leave the Coun?
ty, that we had just received a message
from his wife at Galvestpn who had heard
- of his trouble and thatshe would be out
to see him on the next stage. This had
no effect upon the hardened criminal.
All he said was, "Which wife do you
' refer to?"
Then the Sheriff proposed to Wilkes
that if he would allow us to kill him, as
. there was $150 reward for him dead or
alive in the next county, we would give
the reward and SIC 0 extra to his heirs
and assigns. He said that six months'
good living in this County was better
; than $250 to a dead man anywhere, and
r- h'e was not going to leave. There was a
, town meeting to consider the matter, and
~one-third the inhabitants of the County
- \ were in attendance. It was proposed by
the Chairman of the County Commission
'. ere "that $200 be appropriated out of the
county funds to buy a mule for Jefferson
?<Wilkes, and that $50 extra for expenses
be also appropriated and turned over to
{said Wilkes, conditional that said
Wilkes on said aaule should leave
said County of Tom Green and never
thereafter appear in said County."
y- . Wilkes accepted this proposition and
Jefferson Wilkes, escorted by several
[^-hundred of the gafceful citizens of San
Jose, passed out of the town forever, on
board of a mule with a Napoleonic nose
and burrs in his tail.?J. Armory Knox)

Curiosities of Plant JLife.
Most plants derive their nutriment
from the ground by means of their roots,
but there are those which feed on insects,
and arc very curiously adapted for this
purpose. Specially to be noted of this
class are the pitcher plants, of which
there is quite a variety. One of the
'moat beatiful grows on the Sierra
?Nevada Mountains, in Northern CalifoE
nia, higher up than tbe top of Mount
Washington. It is called Darlingtonia
I Californica. It has no leaves, but from
the root there grow two kinds of pitchers,
some of them small, others large, veined
and beautifully colored, having a curved
roof and two long flaring wings. Each
' of these pitchers is twisted about half a
turn. The colors are brilliant reds, yel?
lows and greens, richer and mellower
than most plants of this sort. The Mower
grows on a stem four or five feet in
height, and resembles a red and yellow
striped tulip hanging downward. Both
.flower and pitcher are arranged as a trap
.tu entice and catch the unwary insect.
I In North Carolina there is a pitcher
plant that has some ordinary leaves,
while others are so folded and fastened
together as to form a long t?be, very
. small at the base> bulging out in the mid?
dle, then drawn in at the top, which is
open. Above there is quite a wide,
veined and curved leaf, which is upright
and partially covers the pitcher. - Along
the edge of that portion of the leaf
pitcher outside of the se'am there are
honey drops to allure tbe insect to the
top, where it tumbles down into the
tube, which is covered with delicate hairs
pointing downward, so that once in there
is no getting out. Some of these plants
have clear spots at tbe upper end which
lets in the light.
. In Borneo there are giant pitcher
plants [Nepenthes). One species has
brightly colored, bottle shaped leaves
which stand upright on the ground, and
one leaf holds about two quarts of
pure water, which is distilled from tbe
plant itself. Others creep along on the
ground and cling to the rocks. Their
leaves are in the form of the water flasks
with, a lid. Others, are epiphtal. .Of
these .the best and most distinct is N.
Veitchii, which bear6 from thirty to forty
pitchers, some of which are red, others
green blotched with red, while some are
pure green. N. Lovii in shape resem?
bles an bid fashioned wine flagon ; it is
epiphtal, glowing on Casuasineer trees at
an elevation 5,000 to 6,000 feet on Kina
Balu mountain. Not all of the pitcher
plants can be classed, however, among
the traps.
, Bladder-worts are among tbe iusect
catchers. They grow mostly in water,
but "some are epiphytal. The curious
little cups or bladders were formerly sun
posed to be useful for floating the plant,
bat closer observation ban shown them to
be for traps. When an insect comes in
contact with the mouth of the bladder, a
trap door suddenly opens, the victim is
drawn in and absorbed. There is a
quantity of little four-rayed stars inside
the stomach, which are the organs of
digestion.
The sun-dew is another of the insect
catchers. Some have long, narrow
leaves; others round ones. These sparkle
in the sunshine as though covered with
rain drops or dew. It is a sweet, sticky
substance by which insects are caught,
Through a magnifying glass the leaf will
be seen to be fringed around the edge
and covered on the upper surface with
what have been called tentacles, because
they seem like the arms of certain sea
animals, with which they capture their
prey. The leaf sags a little in the mid?
dle, and when an insect is glued fast by
the sticky drop every tentacle begins to
curve over and fasten him more strongly.
The movement is very slow?so slow that
it takes frequently several hours for it to
be complete. What is very remarkable
about it, if a fly alights on the side of the
leaf, or anywhere a way from the centre,
the tentacle it touches bends over, car?
ing its prey with it to the centre of the
leaf, and then all of the tentacles move
toward the middle and clasp it. The
leaf then pours over it a liquid acid
which dissolves what is good for food,
thus acting as it does the gastric juice in
our stomachs. One full meal will last
the plant nearly a week. It must have
the right kind of food, however. Dr.
Darwin fed a sun-dew on cheese, which
made it turn yellow and sickly, and it
finally died with dyspepsia. When a
few drops of milk were poured on a leaf,
it curved up around the edges, making
the form more cup-like, while the tenta?
cles bent over to absorb it. Another
remarkable thing has been noted; if a
bit of meat is divided, half of it placed
on the leaf and the other on some moss
beside the piece on leaf will remain fresh
nntil digested, while that on the moss
becomes spoiled.
Venus' Fly-trap is of quite different
construction from those described. Tbe
leaves grow out from the centre of the
plant and are in three divisions. On the
tip of each grows the trap, which is made
similar to the valves a clam shell. They
are hinged at the back and edged all
around with sharp spikes. On the inner
side are three long haire which are very
sensitive, so that the instant they are
touched the valves close, the spikes are
locked together and the insect is antrap
ped. If the thing caught is the right
sort for food, the spikes remain clasped
till it is digested; if not good, they
speedily open and drop it out.
In view of the wonderful operations of
the vegetable traps specified, it would
seem as though they were possessed of
intelligence.?Transcript.
Disqualified "Voters.
At the last session of the legislature an
act was passed providing for a mode of
ascertaining the names of registered vo?
ters convicted of disqualifying crimes.
The clerk of the court is required, on or
before the fifteenth day of October, 1890,
to furnish tbe supervisor of registration
with a complete list of all male persons
convicted of treason, murder, robbery or
dueling, from the 2Gth day of April 1SS3,
and of all persons convicted of treason,
murder, burglary, larceny, perjury, for?
gery, or any other infamous crime or du?
elling, since the first day of January, 18S3.
All such reports must be accompanied by
the certificate of the clerk. So is every
trial justice required to make out under
his band and seal a certified list of all
male persons convicted before him, or
such of his predecessors whose trial
docket is in his possession, of petit lar?
ceny, and such report must be submitted
to tbe supervisors of registration on or
before the fifteenth day of October. In
case any trial justice goes out of office,
he shall furnish such list immediately
upon retiring, up to tbe date of going out

Legislative Panacea*.
Every little while the "crahki" of all
descriptions, from Maine to Texas and
California appear to conspire to address
Congress, each on his own favorite hobby,
and the aggregate is Somewhat bewilder?
ing to people of the ordinary kind. Just
now we are suffering from a deluge of
this kind. The Farmers' Alliance of '
Minnesota demands the abolition of the
Supreme Court of the United States, be?
cause some Of its recent decisions do not
please tbe farmers. From several other
States Come demands for a law prohibit?
ing all foreclosures of mortgages by cred?
itors. While a band of wise men in Kan?
sas, who appear to sec some good in the
creditor and do not cafe really to ruin
him, ask for a law providing that when
mortgage debts fall due, tbe value of the
property shall be ascertained by Federal
official, and the whole debt, so far as
warranted by tbe value of the property,
be advanced from the Federal treasury to
pay the debt, the debtor in the meantime
being allowed twenty years to repay the
advance, which in the meantime shall
bear only one per cent, interest.
The foes of the Chinese have also
joined the army of petitioners, and have
actually, within the last few days, secured
the passage of a bill by- the House of
Representatives which nominally pro?
vides for an enumeration of the Chinese
within our boundaries, and then goes on
to provide farther that all who are not so
counted and do not receive official cer?
tificates of the fact: shall be imprisoned
and expelled and excluded from the
country. The provisions of this bill con?
stitute a gross breach of good faith under
the terms of our present treaty, and the
protest offered by Mr. Foster, counsel for
tbe Chinese Legation, is based on famil?
iar principles of common sense and jus?
tice. It is astonishing that such a bill
should have passed the House, and we
cannot believe that it will ever pass the
Senate and secure tbe President's signa?
ture.?New York Examiner.
A Mermaid at Last?
Jacksonville, April 19.?W. W;
St an ton, mate of tbe echoouerj Ad die
Scbtefler, now lying at the Market House
dock, while fish'ing for bass three hundred
miles off St. Augustine, drew in bis line
and found entangled therein the strangest
fish, if it is a fish, that bus ever been
caught. This etrange creature is about
six feet long, pure white and scaleless.
The head and face are wonderfully human
in shape and features. The shoulders are
well outlined, and Very much resemble
those of a woman, and the bosom is well
defined, and shows considerable develop?
ment, while the hips and abdomen con?
tinue the humao appearance. There are
four flippers, two of which are placed at
the lower termination of the body, and
give one the impression that nature made
an effort to supply the strange creature
with lower limbs. Mr. Stanton confesses
to quite a fright on first sight of his queer
prize, which, on being drawn on board,
gave utterance to a low, moaning cry,
which might easily have been mistaken
for the sobbing of a baby.
It is extremely unfortunate that Mr.
Stanton did not succeed in keeping the
creature alive, which he thought might
have been done, as the strange object
lived two days after being taken. Tbe
schooner has been thronged all day by
curioU3 visitors, who express much won?
der and astonishment at the strange ob?
ject. Mr. Stanton, after visiting several
ports and showing his queer creature,
will donate it to the Smithsonian Institu?
tion. The fish or mermaid is in a large
six-foot glass jar in alcohol.?New York

A Card from Cnpt. Tillman.
To the Public : Invitations to Bpeak
are beginning to come to me. t desire to
say that all.such letters should bead-,
dressed to Capt. G. W. Shell, Laurens, S.
C, chairman of the campaign commit?
tee.
The reasons are obvious. To canvass
the State thoroughly will require much
travel, and cannot well be done under
three months; and to save both expense
and labor, there must be some systematic
arrangements.
Captain Shell can also judge where and
when my services are most needed, and
arrange accordingly. If the Democratic
Committee Would not call the State Con?
vention till September, tbe canvass could
be deterred till tbe crop is almost laid by,
and I would prefer not to precipitate a
heated political campaign when all are so
busy. But I am ready to open tbe ball
whenever it suits tbe people, and the
campaign committee think best.
Respectfully,
B. R. Tillman.

? A gentleman who has just returned
from South Africa says that it is one of
the best countries in the world for profi?
table real estate investments. "South
Africa," he says, "already has beautiful
and thriving towns, and it is destined to
be the seat of a great and progressive
English-speaking race. When I was
there some years ago I was surprised at
tbe extensive improvements, at the ener?
gy of the people and the natural resour?
ces of the land. It is the place of places
to put away a few thousand dollars to let
them grow."
? The immigration of colored people
from North and South Carolina to the
Valley of the Mississippi has been sud?
denly checked. Most of these people
had gone to work on the rich river plan?
tations between Vicksburg and Green?
ville. They had never seen a flood
before, and when the high water came
and the levees broke, and tbey were
compelled to Beek refuge on them or any
high pieces of land they could find, they
were naturally panic stricken at this
difference between their new and their
old homes. The news of their destitute
condition has reached the Carolinas, and
in consequence the immigration fever
quickly abated,
? One of the most flourishing indus?
tries of Birmingham and other English
centers of labor is tbe manufacture of
idols. This is an example of commercial
enterprise that quite puts the proverbial
Yankee in the shade. Tbe Englishman
sells idols to the heathen, and then calls
on the rest of the world for funds with
which to send out missionaries to convert
the heathen from the error of his ways.
The heathen men and women, the Eng?
lish manufacturers and the missionaries,
play well into each other's bands.?New

? In the north the habit of chewing
tobacco is dying out. This is no gain, as
it is said that the cigarette habit is taking
its place. During the past ten years tbe
sale of chewing tobacco has fallen off fif?
ty per cent, while the sale of cigarettes is
constantly on the increase. So much has
been said against tobacco chewers that
the youngsters of the present generation
have turned to cigarettes. Occasionally
the evil effects of cigarettes are shown up
in the newspapers, but when anything is
cheap and popular it is hard to put it
down.

St. Louis? April 15.?A police officer
Found the body of a man swinging by the
neck in O'Fallon park this morning. It
was afterward identified as that of Henry
Borck, an old engineer, who had been out
of work for about five months. He waB
a member of Lincoln Lodge, Knights of
Honor, in which his life was insured for
$3,000. It transpired at the inquest that
Borck had Committed suicide in order that
his children might receive the $3,000 in?
surance on his life. He was afraid that if
he lived much longer he would be unable
to keep up with his assessments. He,
therefore, to save his children from star?
vation, committed suicide.
RicMoifb, Va , April 16.?At Slaters
ville, New Kent County, W. Ball haH
been killed by his son-in law, B. T. Bar
ham. The news, though meagre, is to the
effect that Barham and Ball met in a road
near the home of the latter yesterday af?
ternoon. Ball was alone and Barham
was accompanied by his brother. Ball
opened fire on Barham at sight with a
pistol.. He fired five shots, four of Which
took effect, btlt not to B?ch an extent as to
disable Barham. Barham fired only two
shots, both of which.passed throngh the
head of Ball, killing him instantly. Bar?
ham and his brother made statements to
the county officials and were taken into
custody. The tragedy is the outcome of
a family controversy. Last September
Barham was forced at the pistol's mouth
to marry Ball's daughter, the father ac?
companying the party to Washington
City, where the ceremouy took place.
Barham refused to live with his wife after
marriage and went South. He returned
to the county a few days ago and the fa?
tal meeting is said to have been''the first
with his father in law since hia return.
Ball was commissioner of revenue of the
county, while the father of Barham is
