Punlshment of Alabama Rebels for Out
rnges on Union Men.

FunIahment of Alabama Hebels for Out
RACES on linton Men.
We learn from the Montgomery Sentinel
that william Pettigrew, Thomas W. Rob.
erts, James Steele, Frank Mundsy, Hugh
White, John Galley, and Samuel Strayhorn
were shipped from Selma on Monday Of last
week, handcut'ed, to Dry Tortugas, Florida.
The three first were sentenced to hard labor
for two years, and the. balance for one year
These men were the parties who committed
the outrages upon the Rev. Mr. Hill, in
Eutaw, Greene county, some weeks ago,
and were tried for these Outrages by
military commission at Selma, with the
result as mentioned above
The sad fate of these young men should
certainly prove warning to other young
men of this State who are continually per.
petrating most violent and gross assaults
upon Union men for their efforts and labors
to sustain the supremacy of federal law in
rdistracted and suffering State.
While we regret this hard sentence of
these young men we equally regret the
cause for this prompt discharge of duty of
the military officers in command of Ala
bama. There have been so many outrages
upon Union men by men like these that it
has become absolutely necessary to put
stop to these outrages, and the military
have made examples. ru

The new license law of Massachusetts
contains some peculiar provisions. Though
framed by the opponents of prohibitory
legislation, it recognizes the principle Of
prohibition in a section enabling a majority
of the voters in any town or city to prevent
the granting Of licenses to sell liquor to be
drunk on the premises, the only exception
being in the case of iukeepers who may,
notwithstanding such vote, be licensed to
sell to their guests. A license may be for
feited by the sale of liquor to IAN intoxi-
Gated person. to a minor, or to any one
who by excessive indulgence "injures his
health, exposes his family to want or vio
lence, or the town or city of his settlement
to expense.n Provisions are made for er
trance upon the premises of the Hcensee at
any time, for the purpose of snalyzing his
liquors, the license to be forfeited in case
they prove ''impufe or of bad gUality.p He
is not 10 sell between midnight and nye
o'clock in the morning or on Sunday. A Ii.
cense is to cost from fifty to one hundred
dollars, and the licensee must pay in addi
tion percentage upon the gross amount Of
mis- sales. Governor Bullock kept the act in
| his possession until it became law without
his signature, and then returned it with
message to the effect that he would not re
| sist the will Of the people, but that he
| deemed the measure unwise.

An Episode at n BalI-strange Apology
for Breach of Etiquette.
From the Nashville Union and Dispatohl

From the Nashville Union and Dispatch
A curious incident occurred at a grand
fancy dress ball recently In one OF the large
towns of this State. The belle of the place
had been dancing with her handsome part.
ner, and the room being quite close, had
withdrawn with him after the gay waltz to
an adjoining room, where large number of
the guests were chatting and refreshing
themselves. She asked for glass of water,
which was at Once brought to her, butas she
was about to touch it to her lips q young man
pale as death, and with his eyes starting from
his head rushed up to where she was stand
ing, and quick as thought snatched the glass
from her, putting it to his own lips and
draining it to the bottom almost at a gulp.
As he did this, however, he fell back
against the wall, as though 10 fainting ft,
ami then gasped out request to be famed,
as his breath was rapidly falling. In few
minutes, however, he recovered himself,
when the enraged attendant of the lady
from WHOM the glass had been snatched,
| fercely demanded an apology for what he
| believed an intended Insult. An exciting
scene followed, but through the efforts OF
the bystanders the offender was given an
opportunity to explain, and he did 50 to the
satisfaction of all parties by stating that he
was a sufferer from some peculiar disease Of
the heart which would result fatally should
he ever be placed where he could not OBJ
tain drink of water when severely attacked
| by il. The water which he snatched from
the hand of the lady he declared was the
means of saving his life.

TRAII1NG AHBUTUs.



DarliDgs of the forest!
Blossoming alone,
When Earth's grief is sorest
For her Jewels gone
Iths last snow.drift melts, your tender
buds have blown.
Tinged with color family,
Like the morning sky,
On, more pale and sanity,
Wrapped in leaves ye lie
IS children sleep in faiths simplicity.
There the wildwood robin,
HYMNS your solitude:
And the rain comes sobbing,
through the budding wood,
, the low south wind sighs, but dare
not be more rude.
We're your pure lips fashioned
ont of air and dew
Starlight unimpassioned,
4 DaWn's most tender hue,
rented by the woods that gathered
sweets for you?
Fairest and most lonely,
from the world apart;
Made for beauty only,
Yelled from Natures heart
such unconscio is grace as makes the
dream Of Art!
We're not mortal sorrow
An immortal shade,
Then would to morrow
Such flower be made,
lliYe in the dear woods where my lost
childhood played.

How the Chinese Economlse I'm Fuel.

In all probability more fuel is wasted in
this country than N any other, and vet fuel
is by no means overabundaut or cheap with
us. Coal has within a few days gone up
from seven and eight to twelve dollars
ton, and it may well become a serious con
sideration with the housekeepers as to how
the article may be ec0nOmized. The
Chinese have a method, which We scarcely
suppose will ever become generally adopted
by US; but it may afford hint They mix
a quantity of earth with the coal dust, in
sufficient preparation to make the mixture
adhere together when wet. After thorough
ly mixing the dust and earth and water
they take up sufficient to make ball two
and half or three inches in diameter,
hands, making it like 6 ball. This
is then laid carefully down, and
another quantity is taken and pressed
in the same way. And so on till the
whole is prepared into balls. They are then
placed in the sun to dry; after being thor
oughiy dried they are fit IOT use. The Chi
nese, when. they have made a discovery,
never attempt to improve on it; but expe-
rienCe on the part OtiOreigners gees to show
that after the coal dust and earth have been
properly mixed with the proper amount of
water, instead OF resortlng to the hands to
make the mixture into balls, il can be
spread out on the ground, say two inches
deep, and then cut into small square pieces
by means OF a spade or any sharp instru-
ment. These square pieces burn readily.
A wooden mold would answer we'll. The
advantages of this method are that it saves
the coal dust which otherwise would be
wasted and lost, and the balls easily ignite
The fire does not last as long as a fire made
of pure coal, but oftentimes only q quick,
hot fire is required, its use being limited to q
comparatively short time rs in cooking.

American enterprise and energy is
honOred the world over. These two traits
OF our national character have exercised "A
large influence upon the people of foreign
countries, and given them a confidence in
the stability and progressive nature of our
government which is most gratifying. The
latest proof of this is supplied in the fact
that since the purchase bythe United States
of Alaska the Russian American COmpany's
stock has increased in value to prodigiOus
extent. Its par value is Sl50, Before the
treaty it was selling at $50; the next day
after the treaty became knewn it ran up to
par, and our Consul at Moscow writes to
Washington that il is selling at $3.50 The
holders Of this stsck thus eyinoe their cen
tidence ia the enterprise of the Americans,
who they believe will, by their proverbial
energy and go.aheadativeness develop rap
idly the resources of Alaska, and SO render
more valuable those in which these Russian
American companies are directly interested,

An American HaaOnie Lodge Older than
Oar Government

A correspondent OIL the ClnClnnau In

Marietta is noted for its modern anti,
qulties as well as for its ancient. The
Masonic Lodge here was originally char.
tered February 2e l776, and is consequently
older than the Deolaration of Independence
or the government of the United States; It
is believed to be thefirst lodge ststuted in
this country after tn lodges ceased to recog-
nize the jurisdiction Of the Grand Lodge Of
England. 1t Travelled with the patriot army
during the revolutionary war, and was fre,
quently visited by Washington and other
eminent Masons. The lodge was reopened
in Marietta, June 28 1890, where it has
since remained. Its title is American
Union Lodge, No. IL The American
Union Chapter Of L. A. NJ. No. 2,n was o..
ganized in Marietta in 1902. Hon. Lewis
Cass was member of beth these lodges,
and attended them regularly in his earlier
years. Colonel Augustus Stone, now in his
eighty-eighth year, was made a Mason here,
and is no doubt the Oldest member of the
order in the State.

Several officers caught him and took the
razor out of his hand. He was instantly
taken below into the prison, and surgeon
sent for. When taken down, and while the
blood was pouring in torrent from his
throat, he stood partly up, staggering, and
striking at al who came within reach, but
before the physician arrived he fell over
