onto his back. seizes his ears with her

and he trots off feeling that he wouldn't

weeks free range of sugar-camp.

POOR GEORGE GAYLE

1t will be remembered what q thrill
of horror startled the country eleven
years ago, caused by an advertisement
which appeared in an Alabama paper,
offering 81, 100000 reward for the as
sassination of President LINCOLN. The
advertisement first saw the light in the
columns of the Cahaba Gazette, and
was the production OF the town drunk
ard, an eccentric creature, who was the
wreck of one Of the finest and most
promising intellects Alabama could
boast of twenty-five years ago. The
poor creature has Just died, and the sad
story of his life may prove instructive
to the rising generation. 'fa' hae .is.-
GEORGE W. GAYLE was born in Dali
las county, Ala, of wealthy and infiu-
entail parents. He was given all the
educational advantages that money
could procure. In 1882 he was admit
ted to the bar at Cahaba, and such was
the force and brillianey of his intellect
that he soon ranked in the front Of his
profession. GAYLE was to Alabama
what meteoric DIcK MENIFEE was to
Kentucky. Adulation soon spoiled him
however, and in five years after he
! made his brilliant debut he was drunk
ard. He soon squandered his portion
of the estate left by bis father, and for
twenty years has been the eccentric vag,
abond of Cahaba, the object to which
it would point the stranger as its
wrecked genius" His board was paid
and he was clothed by his relatives. -
At the time he published the advertise
ment Offering 81, 900, 900 for the
assassination Of LINCOLN he was not
worth a penny to his name. As soon
as the war closed the editors of the Ca
haba Gazette were arrested for having
published the advertisement. In their
examination it was found that GAYLE
was the author of it. He was arrested
and hurried off to Fortress Monroe,
where he was confined about fifteen
/
months, and, after he became partially
paralyzed in his lower limbs, through
the intercession of his wife who had
chung to him through all the years Of
his degradation with a devotion of which
a loving woman alone rs capable, was
released by President JOHNSON. On
the 9th instant this unfortune creature
died at Selma, adding one more to the
countless host of those born to be lead
ers of men, but who have become the
slaves of base appetite, and gone down
to their graves the squaHd and repulsive
prey of intemperance.
