At the conclusion of the argument of the
counsel for Mrs. Fair, on the motion for a
new trial, this evening, Judge Devinnell
informed Campbell, counsel for the people,
that it was unnecessary to make a reply, as
the attempt to lmpeach the jurors had failed,
and he would override the exceptions taken
during the trial. He then alluded to the
crime and the impartial trial she had. and
sentenced Mrs. L. d. Fair to be hanged on
the 18th of July. A remarkable scene then
ensued. Mrs. Fair maintained almost her
usual composure, but a strong minded wo-
man who attended her manifested her SYM
pathy in a most Ostentatious manner. Emily
Pitts Stevens, leading party, embracing
the prisoners mother, going over TO the re-
porter's desk, telling them she hoped they
were satisfied now, etc. The manifestations
continued until the court was cleared. IL Is
believed Governor Haight will not inter

HISTORY VS.. ROMANCE.

We recently copied in these columns a
statement from the Brunswick (Ga.) APP
peal to the effect that numb 9r of Methodist
divines, together with some friends, proceed
ed recently to ST. Simon's Island, to visit
and have photographed the venerable live
oak under the outrageous branches OF
which John Wesley, the founder of Method
ism, preached his first sermon in America.
1t is probable that the picture will be en-
graved on steel and offered for sale.
The live oak referred to, says the Savan-
nah Republican, is a magnificent one. and
has cast its shadow upon many lively
group in the flush times of st. Simon's, the
Farmers Club house, to which all the Islam
ders were accustomed to resort on one day
of every week, having stood in immediate
proximity. For its own sake. as well as for
is social history, the tree should be photo
graphed, for there is nothing approaching it
on the Atlantic coast.
But we never before heard that this mon
arch of the forest had religious history.
The church of Frederick established by
Charles Wesley, not John, was originally
located, and still stands-a portion of its
original timbers being yet incorporated
with the Oftentimcs renewed buildings-in
a beautiful grove of live oaks, some half
mile or more in the rear of the town, or the
site once occupied by the town, nothing of
which remains by few brick and tabby
ruins.
John Wesley, the great founder of Metho-
dism, was occasionally at the Frederick set
Element aiding in the work of his brother
which. unfortunately, was not very sue
cessful one-but his first sermon in Amer
lea" was not preached on st. Simon's. His
first religious ministrations in this country
were delivered on 1ybee, on the arrival of
the immigrant ship that bore him hither,
and consisted of thanksgiving to God for
the safe deliverence of himself and fellow
passengers, having landed for the special
purpose. This was in February, 1886. The
party then came up the river, and John
Wesley's sfirst sermon in America" accord
ing to his own private journal, was preached
in the court house in Savannah. on Sunday,
7th March, 1876, the text being the epIstle
for the day, the 18th chapter of LIST Corinth-
ians.
We dislike to spoil handsome little pho
geographic speculation, but this is history.

Gray veils Keen of freckIes.

Gray wells keep off freckles.
Gray and brown are the most fashion
able colors worn this season.
A new color, called blue green or pea
cock green, Is very fashionable for bon
nets and costumes this season.
Tight lacing is said 10 have one advan-
tage though il shortens life-it suffuses
the face with a charming love tint.
Long sashes are TO be worn this sum
mer; the bow TO be small and the ends 20
reach 20 the bottom Of the dress.
Pride in woman destroys all symmetry
and grace; and affectation is a more ter
rible enemy to the face than the smallpox
A vain, lazy woman is ft associate for
coxcombs and fools, the disgust of sensi-
bic men, burden upon society and the
body polite, and seatters thorns in her
own path.
Fashion, in the midst Of her many &C.
centricities, has revived the high shell
comb of our grandmother. Gold buckles
have also appeared; and as waists are
rapidly growing shorter and more de-
colette, we shall probably soon see the
styles of Recamier and the toilets OF the
First Empire the favorite styles.

DIVORCE FIGURES.
From the Meridian Gazette.
A FaIsehOOd Corrected.

In referring to Gov. Alcorn's message mp
on the Chickasaw school fund, the Column
bus Press, Radical sheet, says:
1t appears that seven hundred and nints-
mine thousand dollars, under acts of pure
Democratic Legislatures, have been or at
tempted to be stolen from the peOple--and
all this, too, in those "halcyon days of puri-
ty and craftsmanship" when men had no
other interest at stake than their country.
For misrepresentation and barefaced false
hood, always commend US to a radical edi-
tor and especially to one of the wandering
cormorants sent South to manufacture party
thunder. The editor of the Columbus Press
Is no novice in the business; he is swell up
in his part; can round a sentence of false
hood with an ease and finish that is per-
fectly remarkable and then strut by the
people he has abused and slandered. with
perfect indifference and impudence. There
is not one single scintilla OF truth in the
extract we quoted above. In 1855 aud 1857,
the Legislature authorized the loan 70 GER
tain railroads in the State, OF all the Chick
asaw School Fund in the treasury, amount
ing to seven hundred and ninety mine thou
sand dollars The railroads gave ample Sc
curity for the payment OF the money and in
terest, and until the war commenced the in
terest was regularly paid in gold. The war
waged by the Columbus Press party des-
troyed the securities, tore up the railroads,
burned the rolling stock and broke up their
business In 1863 the Legislature, having
full confidence in the stability Of the Con-
federacy, passed an act allowing the rail-
roads 70 return the loan in Confederate
money; but in 1865 Democratic Legisla-
ture refused to recognize the Confederate
payment of 1868, and ordered the Governor
70 demand new evidences of the debt and
in the event Of failure to obtain those to en-
force the collections OF the debt by suit. The
companies having paid the debt declined to
accede 10 the Governors demand and he. i'm
accordance with the instructions Of the
Democratic LegisEGfnrc Of 1865, has Instituted
suit for the recovery Of the School Fund
from the railroads, but finds much trouble

glides into smiling
BY CONRAD A. LUsk.

When stern winter glides into smlllng
spring,
We o,ther bv the caves of our dead,
an Offering of sweet flowers we bring,
And their precious incense round Is shed
r1.er each humble and grass-covered mound,
Where some unkHOlon hero reposes,
h, that silent spot is haliowed ground,
Where our dead sleep under the roses!
ike banners there, the graceful willows
wave,
81 And sigh with the night-wind in the vale,
#Oer many q moss-grown and Hameless
grare;
The meek violets their sweet exhale;
10 spotless stone CLEANS there in the moon
light,
In the shadows of the darkling void,
The stars look down the sad watchers OF the
night,
on the graves all dank with their life
blood!
we NAV not raise shaft of marble pale
DER them, but through all the years OF
God,
#We1l seek the cleaning OF the lonely vale,
Where our dead rest meath the clay-cold
sod;
tic daughters Of the South, true to their
trust,
Like Mary-first at the Saviour's tomb,
win bedew with sad tears their sleeping
dust,
And strew flowers, sweetest in perfume!
%! can the South forget the boys in gray"
Let them sleep meath the dark, Lethean
wave?
Gold il that heart on our Memorial Day."
II That sigh not for the lamented brave!
Round every hearthstone there's vacant
chair
In each home an urn of dead flowers;
a requiem floats on the shadowy air,
Ger our land a cloud of gloom lowers!
h. their narrow homes thousands are sleep
ing,
or those brave spirits our Southern
slain;
Meath every roof sad hearts are weeping,
For dear ones who'll never come again;
They died on hospital cOt-on picket post,
Midst the death hail falling thick and
fast;
81 n the front of battle they met the host,
Aud fell before the whitening blast.
d. peace to the shades of our ''rebel'' braves,
Who fell in the raging battle-storm;
They sleep in untimely, tho glorious
graves,
The prey of the loathsome charnel-worm;
Der those in our cause who nobly persisted,
The light of glory will ne'er depart;
III memory they'll be proudly cherished,
Forever dear TO the Southern heart!
a miserere sobs on the night Winds breath,
Wailing from the dreary, midnight
world,
Where comrades in life and comrades in
death,
Sleep i'm their cerements, dark and cold,
The bright Gross of Stars" is furled for
ever,
The dread carnival of death is DER,
But we cannot from fond mem'ry sever
Those silent graves on the lonely moor!
The South is dark with funeral gloom.
o, it seems that even Hope has fed,
But thro' all the eternal years of doom,
Well honor our unrecorded dead,
s And moisteR their grassy mounds with our
tears;
They've passed DER the Stygian river,
And in their voiceless graves, our hopes
and fears
Are buried there with them forever!

William Wirt's letter 10 his daughter,
on the small sweet courtesies Of life,
contains passage from which a great
deal of happiness might be learned :
81 want TO tell you q secret. The way TO
make yourself pleasant to others is to
show attention. The whole world is like
the Miller at Mansfield, who cared for
nobody-no not he, because nobody cared
for him. And the whole world would
serve you so if you gave them the cause.
Let every one see that you do care for
them by showing them what Sterne so
happily called the small courtesies, in
which there is no parade, whose voice is
too still TO tease, and afectionate LOOKS
and little acts of attention, giving others
the preference in every little employ
ment, at the table, in the field, walking,
sitting, and standing"

Fashion in slippers are thus described
by fashion authority: Some have very
high heels, arched soles and pointed
toes, while they are cut low in front.
Others are cut very high, with lower
heels, and with the soles little less
arched. In very plain slippers, made Of
kid-which is as soft as satin-another
extreme is introduced: that is, there are
no heels at all, but the toes are fearfully
pointed. They are ornamented with a
very small bow or rosette.
