The Baton Rouge Courier is responsible
for the following
At meeting of the Central Republican
Club held lately. Mr.. Fuller of Port Hudson
gave an incident showing the feeling cher
ished toward Republicanism by the colored
men in the backwOods. While taking the
census way back in the Sandy Creek neigh
borhoOd, the stronghold of the Democracy,
he came at nghfall to the house of cOlOred
man-prObably the only one for miles
around-and asked for lodging of a man on
the gallery. There was no light in the
house; but the man, returning no answer
at first, went back and fired a pine knot.
Returning, the following colloquy ensued:
whats your business here ~
Mr.. Fuller responded that he was taking
the census.
Are YOU colored man -
Il believe | am generally considered as
such"
"What side you on ?"
well. | received my present appoint
ment from Republican administration,
and generally consider myself to belong to
that party"
''Gct right down, sir; get right down.
You shall stay here as long as you want;
but fore God, | wouldn't ask you to light
till knew you was on the right side
Back i'll the woods. away from all habita-
tons. he cherished his warm feelings to-
ward the party which had made him a man;
and in spite Of all the wiles of the Democra-
cy, such men will give us success.

SENTENCE OF A WOMAN PEEJrEEE-
We copy lis follows from the Plliladcl-
phia Lc1ge, of a recent date:
Yesterday morning. in the Court of
Quarter Sessions. before Judge paxon.
Sarah Gore WIS convicted Of vilful and
corrupt perjury. The following is tEt,
verdict and sentence: "The motion for
new trial in your case has been with
drawn. and You are now before the Court
for sentence. | have considered 1c APP
peal made in your behalf by your coun-
sci. MIR. Briggs. The mercy of the court.
which WAS invoked in your behalf. is /,
mercy based upon snHnd discretion. 1t
IL not a weak sympathy with crime, or
with criminals. In Your case there is
nothing to commend it to our favorable
consideration. The crime of which yoll
are convicted was one necessarily involv-
ang generalization. 1t was not the re-
suit of IL passion or of provocation. You
deliberately and falsely charged res
pectable citizen with high crime upon
Your person. And having made it, you
brought him into this court on trial, and
upon that trial you committed willtel
ana corrupt perjury, in order to convict
him. You did all yon conld to consign
an innocent man for a long term Of years
TO tile penitentiary, and to blast his rep
utatlon for all time. Nor is this all.
have judicial knowledge of the fact that
you have made similar charges against
several other respectable citizens, for
the purpose of extorting money, and
that in some of these cases you have
been successful; but Mr.. Weiner would
Not submit to your demands. He appeals
TO jury of his fellow citizens, and they
nave vindicated him: and he has also
oronght you to the bar of Justice, for
which he deserves the thanks of every
good citizen.
Your offence is on which can receive
DO mercy here. While we give bur-
gtar the extreme penalty of the law. we
can do no less in case like this. A man
nad better have twenty burglars in his
house than one such woman as You. A
burglar may steal the property of the
citizen. 4ou would rob him of his good
name, to make him infamous in the com
manlty, as well IA 8" " the seeds of dis
cord iu his domestic relations.
'Ihe sentence of the Court is that YOU
nay fine of $500 to the Commonwealth,
!or the use of the cou uty; that you pay
sle cost Of prosecution, and that yon un-
aergo an imprisonment in the State Pen
1sentiary for the Eastern District, by
separate or solitary & confinement, at Ia
eor, for the period of seven years. and
that yon stand committed until this sen
eeace is complied with"

Hints to Young SpOrtsmen.

Punchinelgo, the New York comic paper.
thus advises young spOrtsmcn that are
about To take to the fields and woods.
Before taking the field, look well to
your shooting irons. Fowling pieces are
far more apt to get foul while they are lay
ing away during the of season, than when
they are taken out for n days sport by the
| fowlers.
On releasing your gun from its summer
prison, always examine II carefully, to as
certain whether it is loaded. This you can
do by looking down into the barrel and
touching the trigger with your toe. II
your head is blown off, then you may be
sure that the gun was loaded. Otherwise
not. ~
Should your gun be brcech loader, al.
ways load ii at the muzzle. This will
show that you know better than the man
who made 1t, or, at least, that he is no bet.
ter than you.
If you are novice in gunnery IT will be
safest for you to put the shot in before the
powder. by. doing this you will not only
provide against possible accidents, but viii
secure for yourself the reputation of being
a very safe man to go out shooting with.
The best time to acquire the art OF shoot.
ing flying is fly time.

THE criminal was led in the morning to
the place Of execution, and laid upon his
belly, being held by four men. The execu
toner then made transverse incision at
the lower part Of the body; he then intro
duced the sharp poin, of the spike, which
was about six feet long, and made Of pol
ished iron, into the wound, SO that it.
passed between the backbone and the skin.
Two men drove it forcibly up along the
spine, while the executioner held the end
and gave IL a proper direction, till 1t came
out between the neck and shoulders. The
lower end was then put up into wooden.
post and rivetcd fast; and the sufferer was
lifted up, thus impaled. and the post stuck
in the ground At the top OF the post,
about ten feet from the ground, there was
kind Of little bench, upon which the
body rested. The insensibiity or foritlde
of the miserable sufferer was incredible.
He did not utter the least complaint, cx-
cept when the spike was rivcted into the
| pillar; the hammering and shaking occa-
stoned by it seemed TO be intolcrable to
him, and he then beloved with pain;
and likewise once again, when
he was lifted up and set on the ground
lie sat in this dreadful situation till death
put an end to his torrents, which fortu
nately happened the next day, about three
o'clock in the afternoon. He owed this
speedy termination to his misery to light
shower Of rain, which continued for about
an hour, and he gave up the ghost half an
hour afterwards There have been in
stances in Batavia of criminals who have
been impaled in the dry season, and have
remained alive for eight or more days
without any food or drink, which is pre-
vented to be given them by guard, who
il stationed at the place Of execution for
that purpose. One of the surgeons Of the
city assured me that none Of the parts i'm
mediately necessary to life are injured by
implement, which makes the punishment
more cruel and iHteieFable; but that as
the wound it mortifes and occa-
sions a gangrcne, which brings on
death almost Immediately This mis-
cradle sufferer complained continually Of
insufcrable thirst, which is probably Incl
dental TO this terrible punishment. The
criminals are exposed during the whole
day TO the burning rays of the sun, and are
increasingly tomcnted by numbcrless sting
ing insects. went to see him again about
three hours before he died, and found him
conversing with the bystanders. He relat-
ed TO them the manner in which he had
murdered his good master, and expressed
his abhOance Of the crime he had commit
ted. This he did with great composure
yet minute afterwards he burst into the
bitterest complaints Of unquenchablc
thirst, and raved for drink, while NO one,
was allowed to alleviate, by single drop
of water, the excruciating torrents he
underwent

washing laces, put about twelve drops in
q pint Of warm suds. To clean silver, mix
two teaspoonfuls of ammonia in quart
of hot soap-suds. put in your silverware
and wash it, using an old nail brush or
tooth brush for the purpose. For cleaning
hair brushes, etc, simply shake the brushes
up and down in mixture Of one teaspoon
full of ammonia TO one pint Of hot water |;
when they are cleaned rinse them in cold
water and stand them in the wind or in q
hot place to dry. For washing finger
marks from looking glasses or windows,
put . few drops Of ammonia on a moist
rag and make quick work of it. If you wish
your house plants to flourish, put few
drops Of the spirits in every pint of water
used in watering. A teaspOonful in ba-
sin Of cold water will add much to the re-
freshing effects of bath nothing Is better
than ammonia-water for cleansing the hair.
In every case, rinse off the ammonia with
clear water Ammonia is used as rinsing
in cake baking, etc, but cannot recon-
mend II for that purpose and ten drops In
a wine-glass Of water is said to be an ex-
cellent remedy for headache and acidity of
the stomach, but I'don't believe in news
paper doctoring, and SO will not endorse
the remedy. However, for score of fair
and square, needed practical household
purposes, spirits Of ammonia is invaluable,
and I'm not afraid to proclaim it. Farmers
and chemists are profound concerning the
native article in its free state, and admit its
all important service in the economy of
nature but farmers wives throughout the
country really know very little of the mani
fold uses that can be made of a pint of the
spirits kept in the house" bottled and la
beIled say emphatically, labelled, be-
cause it is sin not to have all such things
so conspicuously marked that no mistakes
need occur. Let me add here, by way OF
caution, that ammonia directly applied is
not good for the eyes. 1t has way OF
melting them that is anything but agreea-
ble.-YeNrth and Home.
