? ???8?epm?-?-r orstgu rosws. London, April 46.?Rev. Wo. Selwin, chaplain to the Q and Henry WiMa painter, aged nin? Tele graph ic--A merle an NeWs. Miuledokvtlu:, Ga. , April 24.?This evening an infuriated mob repaired to the County jail and demanded of the jailer Horace Wilson, who was in the jail, convicted of manslaughter and sen? tenced to the penitentiary. Being re? fused, they broke open the doors and entered the cell occupied by Wilson, and took him out and shot him to death. It will lie remembered that Wilson killed a gentleman in this place last year by tho name of McComb, and was sent to your city to be put in the Fulton County jail for safe-keeping. He was tried a few days ago, and was sentenced to the peni? tentiary for a term of years. It seems that this verdict did not meet public ap? proval, and that the crime h* na<l com? mitted demanded a more severe punish? ment than the one the jury saw proper to inflict Thus believing, this crowd of men took the prisoner from his ceil, and in the same manner that his victim, Mc? Comb, was killed, he himself had to suf? fer death., Washington, April 26.?The wires North, which were prostrated by the storm of Saturday night and yesterday morning, are still down. Washxnotoh, April 26.?Delano will not resign until the cloud resting over his department is dissipated. The Postmaster-General has official advices that the post office at Carizo has been plundered by Mexicans, and Dr. Lovell killed. Governor Bard has resigned the At? lanta postmsstership, to take effect on the first of June. Sarah Walker, olios Puss Oakley, the child atealar, has bean sentenced to three months imprisonment, with the understanding that, upon release, she return to Norfolk. The President will appoint two pay? masters in the army to-morrow?those the Senate failed to confirm. The Postmaster-General to-day issued an order canceling all awards of contracts heretofore made in favor of Jerome J. Hinds, Patrick Laughlin, John W. De laney, Wm. Weiss and Wm. C. Iddinger, those being the names contained in the Sroposals fraudulently imposed upon is department by the complicity of clerks at the last regular letting. The order directs the contracts to be imme? diately swarded to the respective bid? ders whose proposals are next lowest in in amount to the proposals thus rejected. The routes referred to are all in the State of Texas. The fraudulent bids having been made with full knowledge of the amounts of the bona fide proposals only a few dollars below them?the loss to- the 'Government occasioned by the present order Will be very small. A collision occurred on the Baltimore I and Potomac Railroad, about 6 o'clock this afternoon, just outside of the tunnel, near the Eastern branch, between the] 4.63 train from this oity and the New York train due here at 5.13 P. M. Eight I or ten persons were severely injured, and both trains badly wreaked. Laras.?Nine seriously injured; others slightly. Careful inquiry gives no Southern names for either in-coming or out-going trains among the injured, though some will be delayed by the confusion.' The bagging, engines and tenders are demolished?tho baggage cars are piled on them. The President has declined to inter? fere in the case of Hope H. Slatter, re? cently convicted in this city of man . slaughter, in having killed Michael Hus aey ai a Snhuetzen festival, two years! ago, and sentenced to four years' impri? sonment in Albany penitentiary. The application for his pardon had been pending for several weeks. Probabilities?For the Gulf and South Atlantic States, Tennessee and the Ohio .

A Sad Occtjbbbnce. ?We copy the fol? lowing sad account, says the Laurcns ville Herala, from a slip taken from an Ala? bama paper, the name of which we arc unable to give, as said clipping was sent to this place in a letter. The unfortu? nate lady has a number of relatives in this County, and is the daughter of J. Stobo James, deceased, a native and former resident She visited this place about two years ago, and we well remem? ber the sweet little girl alluded to as the victim of the mother's melancholy hallu? cination: "Nothing in the history of Pleasant Hill is more sad than the recent event of which we made mention last week. To correct the many stories in circulation, we give the facts as we get them from one entirely informed thereof. Mr. Fe? lix T. Webster, of the Hill, arose early on the morning of March 12, and went out to shoot turkeys. Soon after a young lady, who slept in a room of the dwell? ing, heard some one enter, and begin to kindle a fire in the chimney-place. She asked who it was, and Mrs. Webster made answer, adding that her little daughter was dead. The young lady was startled, but asked what killed her. Mrs. W. replied that she done it and asked the lady to come and see the child. Sure enough, tho now amazed household found the child, aged eight years, dead, with her hands neatly folded upon her breast In answer to questions, Mrs. Webster said that she had given her a certain desdly poison; that she meant to have also given it to her son, aged twelve years, and to herself. She said she went to the bed of the little girl, awoke her, told her to take tho dose she offered, as? suring her it was good for her, und that the child took it, shuddered with a few Blight convulsions, and died; while she (the mother) stood wringing her hands. She said the vial containing the poison feU and shattered just after she gave the dose to the little girl, and she was, there? fore, prevented from giving it to herself and son, though she found the latter had looked himself in his room. In answer to questions of why she did such a deed, Mrs. W. says she wished to save her child from tine miseries and trials of this wicked world, and a deep religious fer? vor seems to have been the impulse to her conduct Hor son says she gave him a dose from a vial tho day before, but he disliked the taste and spit it out, telling her it was not the medicine for his cold she thought it was. Sinco the fatal day, the afflicted lady expresses profound contrition that she committed the deed, but says sho thought she was doing right at the time. Only speaking of her dead child does she appear to be affected in mind. Tho unfortunate lady is a sister of Mr. Bclton O'Neal James, of Wilcox, a well known river man, und first married Mr. Greene Underwood, of the Hill. Her presont husband, Mr. Felix Webster, is one of the best citizens of Dallas. Mrs. W. was a favorite with the people of tho Hill, and the sad event in which she was tho chief actor has cast a gloom over the community. It is understood that she will be treated for her affliction." After the Franco-German war tho Grand Duko of Coburg-Gotha said to Bismarck that the decoration of the Iron Cross had been distributed too freely. "Well," said the Prince, "it has been given on one hand to brave fellows who earned it in battle, and, of course, justly given; on the other hand, it has been jnven out of pure courtesy, as to your Highness and to me, and we had better not say too much about it" "It is estimated," says an exohange, "that the nrmber of John Smiths in? creases 3,465 per year." If we were named Smith?a good, honest name, by the-way?and had a thousand sons, we might possibly drown them all without any serious compunctions of conscience, but it is utterly impossible that wo could name one of them John without feeling that we ought to be hanged. That Sehenectady man who has thir? teen daughters has informed his wife that further additions to his family must He immediately stopped, .or Sunday will have to be abolished in his calico factory until further orders. He thinks, too, that the establishment of a female insti? tute of his own has already become a ne? cessity which knows little or no law. One of Commodore Vanderbilt's grand? sons, W. H. Vanderbilt, Jr., was married on Tuesday to Miss Alva Smith, of New Tork. The bride received $1,000,000 worth of presents, and eight ushers, sight bridssrnsh?, flowers and jewels lent enchantment to the scene, Reading matter on every 0??*. mj every (. ,_?^??-?W? .. "' '?~?? The Cbownino Qhanoi Puwkk. Past Master Wright, of California,-"aVWr or the "Declaration of rnrpoeos of tho Na? tional Orange," and Worthy Lecturer Thompson, wore entertained, yesterday, at the Knickerbooker Grange, No. 164, Patrons of Husbandry. Among the en? tertainers were Worthy Master Moore, editor of tho Hural Aeio Yorker, Past Masters Well and Munday, Overseer Wilson, Secretary Naughton, Prof. Hal leek, Brother C. Edwards Lester, author of "The Glory and Shame of England," and Sisters Hallock, Naughton and Bene? dict. Grand Lecturer Thompson said: "I see before me a brother and a sis? ter?Professor and Mrs. Hal leek?who became Grangers at the same time that I did, in 1866, when there were only twenty Granges in the United States, and a connection with tho infant order was almost disgtnccful. American farm? ers, until recently, hnVo ignored the principle that is moving tho world?the principle of association. Their indi? vidualized ion was the cnuso of their sub? jection to almost every other interest. Six years ago, no manufacturers dealt with us directly; no elevators or ware? houses were owned by us, and no banks or insurance companies were controlled by us. Now, in one State alone, there are thirty-eight Are insurance companies; and more than half of the elevators and warehouses in Iowa and Wisconsin are under our control. "Furthermore, we have agents in every section of the country to whom we ship our prodnctH, and from whom we receive prices forty or fifty per cent higher thnn those we used to get trom local buyers. Ia consequence of the fairness of our treatment by these agents, who are bound by the ties of brother? hood and heavy money bonds, the Pa? trons of Husbandry saved $5,000,000 in 1873; $12,000,000 in 1874; and, accord? ing to present indications, will save at least $20,000,000 in 1875, Six years ago there were ten Granges; the next year there were thirty-eight; the next thirty nine; the next 10,000; the next 20,000. Now there are fifteen Granges joining our ranks daily, and wo number 1,500, 000. Our experience is pointed proof that women nro worthy members of every union. We have400,000of them among us, and we ought to be qualified to give an opinion of this kind." Pust Master Wright said: ' 'I heartily endorse what our Worthy Lecturer has i said. The Grange movement began in California two years ago, yet we have ac? complished some important reBults in behalf of agriculture. Our State Grange was formed when there wore only 4,500 subordinate Granges in the whole coun? try. We now have 243 subordinate Granges, with ? membership of 20,000. We have saved between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Granges have also brought neighbors together, who, al? though living only a few miles apart, were almost strangers. Wo have the 'Grangers' Bank of California,' with a crpital of $5,000,000, whioh is doing good service; and the 'Farmers' Fire Insurance Company,' which insures our property at one-third of the former rates. Wo aro completing a business association on a basis of $1,000,000. Wo do not expect these corporations to manage all our af? fairs, but merely to establish healthy competition. We have done much to re-unite the sections sundered by the war."? Avis York Sun, 21st Rules or the Road. ?The great lead? ing rulo is that no one has the right to be in the middle of the road, except when no other person is present to claim his right to the use of one-half the high? way, which claim bo has precisely the same right to assert when traveling in the samo direction that he has when he meets another. This is the law of every State in the Union, and, so far as we are informed, of every civilized country; and all persons violating it are liable for all damages resulting from their conduct When teams meet, the American law is that ench, turning to the right, shall give half the road. The custom and the law of England require teams to turn out to the left, as expressed in on old doggerel: The rule of the road is a paradox quite; In riding or driving along If you keep the left, yon arc suro to go right, H you keep to the right, you go wrong. In passing, the person in front is re? quired to turn to the left, ho as to allow the person in tho rear, who is traveling at a more rapid pace, to pass by on his right Where teams approach at right angles, or intersecting roads, it tho duty of the person who, by turning to tho right, would pass to the rear of the other team, to pull up, and allow the others to pass. In wide streets in towns or cities, these general principles should always be observed, though from the necessities of the case, persons are less strict in keoping on the proper side of the street, being frequently obliged, with proper euro for the rights of others, to pass to the other side, to avoid a crowd or other obstruction. A person with a light vehicle, meeting or desiring to pass a heavily-laden team, especially if the latter is going up n hill, will generally tarn out without requiring the man with the loaded wagon to give half the road; but the law Imposes no such obligation in any case, and, under all oiroumstanoes, requires each to give half the road, unless by accident or some obstruction it is found impossible to do so. Ha person happens tobe in the wrong place on the road or street, a person coming in collision with him is not enti? tled to damages if, by the use of ordinary and reasonable diligence, he could have avoided it They had to dig up an Iowa dead man to get some money and promissory notes that were in the pockets of the suit in whioh he was buried, and thus is fur? nished the first substantial argument against cremation. If the corpse had been burned with his elothes on, the1 money and notes would have been lost forever to his sorrowing heirs. A Western journal learns that "Theo? dore will restore Elisabeth to his affections on condition that she win hereafter wear a steel trap on each of her ankles." Boos any body suppose that Brother Beeoher ia so green a fox as to be naught in a steel-trap arranged in that wayt Why, he would spring those traps, throw them into the cistern, and hare undisputed possession of those ankles so quickly sate make #V*n a east-iron Theodore's head ewbm. ?vt - '. ?'-??1-:-??... ivimu.i.n Tux Blue and the Gbat.?A gentle I marl of August, sent a note to Mrs. M. | F. Walton, the President of the Ladies'! Memorial Association, suggesting, "if, in view of the kindly fueling recently manifested by Northern men for South? ern soldiers, and of the fact that at several places in the North the graves of the Southern dead have been remember? ed when those of Federal soldiers were decorated, would it not be well tor the association to have flowers placed upon the graves of the Federal dead in the Augusta cemetery next Monday." The writer expressed the opinion that stich an act'-would be a graceful and fitting tribute to the memory of gallant foes, and assured Mrs. Walton that if the sug? gestion should be adopted, the associa-1 tion would have the hearty co-operation of the Confederate soldiers of Augusta | and the citizens gonerally.'* A prompt reply was received from the I noble-hearted lady who is at the head of the Momoriai Association. Mrs. Walton says: "During the war Mrs. Dr. Steiner and myself daily visited two wards in ? the hospital for :;ick and wounded soldiers?one a Confederate, the other a Federal?and they shared alike of the nourishment we carried. Wo did so I then from humanity, hoping our soldiers would meet with simitar consideration on Northern soil. I now propose, on our decoration day, that we reciprocate to any Federal dead is onr midst the re? spect that has been recently shown to the J Confederate dead." The End Cometh Not Yet.?The end of the world, according to the "timist" I wing of the Second Adventists, was to | I have come on tho midnight of Monday. That the rank and file of tho believers in th is superstition were sincere in their faith, is evident from the serious prepa? rations they made for tho event. In different localities of the country, they had gathered together, were baptized in streams which the season had rendered icy cold, and clothed in white robes, wero waiting for the trumpet sound which should announce the grand con? summation they expected. It is not only wonderful that such a delusion should prevail against both Scripture and common sense, but thnt nothing should be learned from the repeated failures which have occurred before of similar predictions of the end of the world. There is still standing, we be? lieve, in Cleveland, Ohio, a round build? ing with a top constructed of glass, which was erected by "timists" of a former poriod to enable them to ascend from their house of devotion with no other obstruction than removing the window which constituted tho roof. In endeavoring to reduce the prediction of tho Hebrew prophets to a mathamatical basis, they appear to have set aside alto? gether the declaration of Him whose I coming they expected, that "of that day I and that hour knoweth no man." It is | to be regretted that the diffusion of com? mon school education is not always accompanied by a corresponding diffu? sion of oommon sense. The result of it I in such localities as those in which this | superstitution has chiefly prevailed seems to be u self-conceit which, after I few sips at the "Pierian spring," thinks; I itself capable of solving all problems of | j time and eternity. Keep the Recipes.?Every house I keeper should have her own recipo book ?a book of her own creation, of gradual growth and proved excellence- and w I propose to show our lady readers how to make one. In the first place, buy blank book and write your name and tho date on the first leaf. Divide the book into as many different departments as you wish, heading euch page with the department to which it belongs, as fol? lows: Recipes for cleaning, recipes for soups, recipes for cooking meats, recipes for cake, and so on through family cook? ing. Then comes cooking for the sick, caro for the sick, and all tho various things that are a part of a woman's duty, and for which, unfortunately, there is no school but experience. Number your* pages, if they are not numbered in* the' beginning, and make an index, leaving blank spaces in tho index to correspond with blank pages between departments which you do not expect to fill imme? diately*. Write down nnder these differ? ent heads every recipe which you have I actually tried, or the result of which you have seen in the houses of your friends, I and enter the poge in the index. An Immense Ice Field in the Ocean.? Tho steamship Nova Scotlan, from Liver? pool, reports that at 8 A. M. on tho 14th I of April, in latitude 42 degrees 20 mi- j nutes, longitude 49 degrees 10 minutes, an immense ice field wus met in the At? lantic. The steamship skirted its edge for five hours, and altered her course to escape it. From the mastheads, as far as tho eye could reach with tho aid of glassos, an unbroken stretch of ice was to bo seen, extending for many miles. There wore in it many small icebergs, and a number of vessels, some of thorn long distances from the outer edges, and seeming to have beencanght there a long whilo before. There were a ship, two barks, a brig and other vessels so far in that they could not be made out This ice had come down from the Arctic re? gions, and the imprisoned vessels had doubtless come many miles with it, and will not be liberated until the warmer waters of tho Gulf stream melts them out The steamship also reports that I eight American fishing schooners had been forced to seek refuge in the harbor j of Halifax, where they were driven by the heavy fields of floating Arctic ice. A man in All en town, Pa., possesses a ' *opy of the One Hundred Year Almanac, {mblished in 1800, which selects some ourteen years from the whole number occurring between 1800 and 1910 as years to be marked by anusnally stormy wea-' thor. The gentleman has observed with curious interest the fulfillment of the predictions, whioh, he says, has been singularly complete, the storms always falling not more than a day apart from the day indicated. The calculation sets down a period of severe cold in the 1st-1 ter part of May, 1875, this being one of I the fourteen years when it is predicted we shall have frost in this latitude, and grape-vines will freeze and be destroyed unless protected. "Seventy-five dollars reward and no1 questions asked." Parson Beech er would like to meet a man of that sort Just now ' on those or any terms. At a spelling match, last Thursday night, the audience laughed. \t every man who missed, of course.' There was not a word given out on the stage but that every man in the audience could spell, of course. Col. Bogers gave out the word "sachel." Mr. Taliaferro' spelled it as lust indicated, whereupon the audience laid down and rolled over and laughed and bleated and roared and squealed and tittered and hunched each other, and at last subsided so that Col. Rogers could be heard. He blandly in? formed the audience that Mr. T. had spelled the word correctly. Then they commenced to look blank* at each other and look green and foolish and had the dry grins, and you could have heard a pin drop. It is said that the matrimonial pros? pects of tho Baltimore girls have been seriously damaged by that little inci? dent of five babies at a birth which re? cently transpired in that city. Inanmnnh as the mother of that infant mob merely intended to show what a Baltimore girl can do when she tries, it is really cruel to hold the rest of the girls there respon? sible for the very remarkable success which attended the effort Some of Beecher's friends are parading the story that Til ton has the germs of lunacy in his constitution, as he had a brother who died in a lunatic asylum. Judging from the developments of the Brooklyn trial, however, there is as much insanity on one side as the other, and paroxysmal insanity at that Ex-President Davis attended a meet? ing of ex-Confederates at Memphis, Sa? turday, to arrange for decorating the graves of Confederates on the 22 d of May, at which a resolution was unani? mously adopted asking Union soldiers to participate in the ceremonies. An? other "Southern outrage." A half century ago, an old gentleman in Southern Massachusetts caused every shingle with which he covered his roof to bo first dipped in boiling whale oil. The other day, bis grand-children re? placed the shingles on the old mansion for the first time, and .found many of them in a perfect suite of preservation. Gen. Butler is making money at Wash? ington. It is reported that he has re? ceived $25,000 in retaining fees since the adjournment of Congress, and as he is worth $1,000,000, he will probably get along comfortably till the end of his days. He has built a palatial mansion on Capitol Hill. Mr. Austin Daily, the New York theat? rical manager, says that in Paris he has seen ' 'colored spectators sitting side by side with Duchesses," and he don't see why the same thing may not he done here. Wo would suggest that it would be necessary to first trot out the Duch? esses. The Turkish Minister declares that the report that many murders had been com? mitted by the Turks in Bulgaria and Roumania is without foundation; and he adds a good reason: "There are no Turks in Roumania." Good Idea.?Those artists in France whose pictures have been rejected for tbo exhibition arc again to have an cxhi tion of their own, and the world will have an opportunity to learn whether committees always do reject only the good pictures. Col. Thomas A. Rogers, one of the most estimable and worthy citizens of Pick ens Connty, died on Saturday night the 20th inst, in the sixty-ninth year of bis age. Col. Rogers was a native of Spartanburg. Pbobablk Infanticide.?A negro wo? man named Dora Pyram was arrested in Charlotte and tried for infanticide. It appears that she gave birth to a child, and, in order destroy it put it in an oven and actually cooked it Daniel Webster's library, which has remained since his death in the room he built for it in his country house in Mnrshfield, is soon to be sola at auction in Boston. It is a large and valuable collection of books. It is said that "temperance people complain of the large quantity of cham? pagne consumed in Wisconsin." We shall probably never hear the last of such complaints until the cultivation of the turnip is strictly'prohibited in this country. The Secretary of War has issued an order requiring soldiers to wear the new trowel bayonet in their scabbards. The ??trowel" is said to be a very murderous implement. The Secretary is preparing for war. In a Paris i*tlon: "My mother-in-law is a furious monarchist" "Ah! then one naturally imagines that you believe in the republic.
