The LIQUOR Law IN BosToN.-An "a
abamian," in Mobile paper, who has
been in Boston, thus hits off the prohibi-
tory law:
Boston seems to be growing worse ev-
cry day in intolerance. They won't allow
q circus to have the horizontal bars, or a
band of 'tumblers.' france mediums. =.
are forbidden to pratice, because they call
in the aid of spirits. Opticians are watch
ed, because it is said people get there glas-
ses there. The London Punch and Wilkes
Spirit are forbidden to be sold by the per-
iodical-dealers. Apothecaries are forbidd-
en- to sell liquor-ice People are not allow
ed to eat sour apples, and are liable to be
arrested on the streets for being in high
spirits. Children who complain of stom-
ach-ache are locked up for fear it might
be sham-pain. Men are arrested on sus-
picion of being distillers, who are caught
'rectifying mistakes. Hotels have had to
take rum omelets, and wine sauce off their
bills Of fare. All bookstores selling his
tories containing an account Of the Battle
of Brandywine' are closed at once. Dead
people cannot be buried ON a bier. Ves-
sells are not allowed to come into the har-
Dor, because they have to pass bar in
doing so and sea captains are not allow
to take amy port in storm'-if they
do they must tell where they got it. En-
terprising men dare not show any public
spirit and even the poor washerwoman
can only dry two sheets at time, as any
one is liable to arrest who has three sheets
in the wind.n
Inc terrltorlai growth OF the U. 5. has
been no less surprising than its growth in
population. Beginning at the peace of
1888 with only $40, $50 square miles, they
added ss9,6SO by the purchase of Louisa
ma, 66,9OO by the acquisition of Florida,
$4,000 by the annexation of Texas, $685.
O52 by the Oregon treaty, and 55O, ,455 by
the Mexican treaty. The commissioner of
the general land Office in 1860 estimated
the land era of the states and territories at
?, 943, ,267 square miles, or, including the
Indian territory, at 3 3,Ol0,277 square miles
The era of the Russian Possessions in
America is computed at 4Sl.277 square
miles. The annexation of Russian Amer
lea will swell the grand total of square
miles embraced within the U. S. to 3,49l, :
553. In a little more than eighty years
the original dimensions of the republic
will have thus expanded to an almost
four-fold degree. No nation has ever en-
larged its boundaries more rapidly to so
great an extent, or made, at less expense,
more valuable acquisitions. Each of these
successive acquisitions has encountered op-
position, and has been attended with in
conveniences, but the latter haye all been
counterbalanced by precious componsn-
tions. This will doubtless prove the case
with our last accession of territory, and
our Fourth of July orators can boast with
better reason than ever that ours is surely
a great territory"

Exec cutt0m OF q Murderer-His Dvins
Staten ment.

execution OF = M Murderer-Hl0 Dy1ng r
CHICAGO, April 26.
The Republicans Belleville special of
tonight says: ..1
''John Guedel, convicted at the fall
term-lS56--of st. Clair County Circuit
Court, for the murder of Adam thinner
man, in Madison County, in Oct, 1864,
was executed to-day ut 1890 a. M, in the
yard of the county Jail. Though the evil
dence was circumstantial, there rs not a
shadow of doubt as to his guilt. The case
was very interesting one. Guedel was
twice indicted in Madison county, took
change of venue to st. Clair, and was both
times found not guilty on the first indict-
ment, it being defective in alleging the
means of killing; but was found guilty
on the second, and was sentenced to be
hung on the 18th of January, 1867, went
to the supreme court on writ of error on
the plea of former acquttal. The judg-
ment of the circuit being affirmed and ex-
ecution being ordered for March 29th, a
respite by the Governor till the 26th of
April was granted. A strong effort was
made to have the sentence commuted to
Imprisonment for life, but without suc-
cess.
Yesterday the Governor telegraphed the
Sheriff that he did not feel at liberty to
commute the sentence. When this was
read to Guedel he was not at all concern
ed; said he would be hung, but asked for
barber, wine and cigars, and passed this
a. m. writing letters, drinking wine and
smoking. Several ministers were present,
but he declined their services, saying "If
there is God, he will save me; if there
is none, no matter" He protested to them
and others his innocence. At a quarter
past ten he was taken from the Jail. He
walked out very cody, and assembled the
scatfold steps with firm step. Seeing
some Of the officers of the court whom he
knew, he shook hands with them and
burst into tears. Standing on the trap
door, he spoke tremulously in loose, ram
bling manner several minutes. The SUBJ
stance of what he said was that he gave
his word of honor that he was not guilty;
that he had been foully dealt with by his
lawyers; that the people of Madison coun-
ty were his murderers. If Zimmerman's
blood was on his hands he hoped God
might strike him to the deepest pit of hell.
just before the drop fell he cried out, "In
Gods name l will go to death; am inno-
cent" The sheriff touched the spring,
the trap fell. A few convulsive move
ments Of the limbs, and Guedel had gone
before the highest tribunal. After hang
ing fifteen minutes he was cut down and
placed in the hands of the coroner.

An Old Lady's Mistake.

Previous to the rebellion, at certain
crossroads, in the State of Alabama,
stood small grocery, or "whisky shop,
where "bust-head" and "chain-lightning'
were dealt out to the thirsty unwashed at
the small sum Of FIVE cents drink, OF
twenty cents quart. The presiding
genius of this delectable institution was
one Bill Skies, who, among various other
pets, had domesticated crow, black as
the ace of spades. This crow had learned,
among other things, to repeat quite
plainly the words damn you" which he
of course heard frequently used in the
grocery During the prevalence of q
knock down and drag out fight one day,
however, the crow was frightened from
his home and few off into the woods,
never to return.
About three miles from the grocery
was a settlement meeting -house-an old
tumble.down dilapidated affair, only used
on certain occasions, when "circuit
rider" happened to pass that way. Into
this building went the crow, taking
peaceable possession and two days
thereafter the church was thrown open
for preaching, and large audience as
sembled, among whom was very old
lady, who was compelled to use crutches
in walking, who took her seat in the
front pew" and was soon deeply alb
sorbed in the eloquence of the preacher.
The reverend gentlemen had scarcely
got under full headway, and commenced
laundering his anathemas at all grades
of sinners, when hoarse, croaking voice
from above uttered the ominous words,
"Damn you
The preacher and congregation looked
aghast at such profanity, and each
peered in his neighbor's face in vain to
detect some sign OF guilt. Quiet was at
length restored, however, and the ser
mon proceeded, but ere ten minutes had
elapsed the ominous damn you " again
electrified the audience, and just as the
preacher cast his eyes upward to search
for the delinquent, the crow flew down
from his perch, and lighting on the
Bible, calmly surveyed the terrified
crowd, as he gave another doleful croak
/" Damn you
The effect was electrical. Giving one
startled aud terrified glance at the in
truder, the preacher sprang through a
window, carrying sash, glass and all
with him, and set off at breakneck
pace through the woods, closely followed
By his horror stricken congregation,
whs had piled out Of the building pell
nell after him. In the general scramble
the old lady with the crutches had been
knocked down in the church where she
lay, unable to rise, and on observing her,
the crow (who was after something to
eat) few down beside her, and cooking
up his eye at her very knowingly again
croaked, Damn you"
The old lady eyed him savagely for a
few moments, and then burst forth, in a
tone Of reckless defiance:
"Yes-and damn you t0ol / had
nothing TO do with getting mp this meet
you know it, too
The poor old soul had mistaken the
crow for the devil aud concluded to pro-
pitiate, if possible, the wrath Of his
Satanic majesty by denying all CON-
plicity in the affair.

A WHISKY REBELLION.
A o. s. Inspector Mobbod.

From the Columbia (Tenn.l Herald.
Verify at rains riots these days The
very air is boisterous and infectious Of
disorders that infect the hearts Of men.
We had but closed the account of the
narrow escape Of the good people Of
Columbia from bloody riot, and began
TO felicitate ourselves that peace reigned
in Warsaw, and Maury county, when 10 !
there comes to us the account of the most
outrageous rebellion against law that has
ever occurred within the county-per-
haps, within the State. The facts, as we
gather them from Trustworthy sources,
are about as follows: On Tuesday last,
Mr. Clotworthy, special Inspector of
the United States Revenue office, accom-
panied by Mr.. Joshua G. Bailey Of this
place, proceeded to the stillhouse of Jno.
+. Jourdan, Of this county; on the way,
they stopped at neighbor's and took
dinner, and then rode over to Jourdan's.
Ii seems, however. that a son OF Jour
dams was in town that morning, and
rode post haste to inform his father. The
consequence was, the father, son and
friends were prepared to receive the In
spector Arriving at the stillhouse,
Messrs Clotworthy and Bailey dis
mounted, and while the former was
hitching his horse, Mr. Bailey was met
by old man Jourdan, to whom he
explained the position and bust
ness of Mr.. c., who came up just then,
and was introduced and himself ex-
planned the object of his visit. AT once
Jourdan gave him to understand that he
could not inspect his establishment. AT
this juncture there came out of the still
house young Jourdon, holding navy
repeater in his hand, followed by six or
seven other men, all armed. Young
Jourdan Immediately began an assault
by aiming a blow at the head of Mr..
Clotworthy with his pistol, which fortu-
nately he warded off with his arm.
Affairs looked very serious at this time,
and it seemed that both Messrs. Clot-
worthy and Bailey would be murdered,
but their cool prudence and frmness
saved their lives. After considerable
Dragging and swearing, Jourdan some
what tempered down, and finding that
he could not bully the officer, attempted
to cajole him by representing that he
nau Deeu auVls6u not u pay duy IaAi VI
to submit to any assessment or inspec-
ton. That the Collector and Inspector
of Columbia were both rebels, and that
he never would pay - cent to any
body not of his own sort. When asked
what was his sort, he replied "a Radi-
cal" Finding that all efforts to cajole
the Inspector were unavailing, Jourdan
returned to his former position, and
swore he didn't care where his authority
came from; no man should inspect his
stillhouse And the Inspector was given
notice to leave upon penalty of being
shot. We learn that upon his return to
town, Mr.. Clotworthy dispatched full
account of the outrageous affair to the
authorities, and notified them that with
out Federal force the revenue laws
could not be enforced.
