A SHE DEVIL.

A horrible case of crime and muir
der has been made public in Frank
lin county Missouri In 1872 a
widow woman named Rebecca Fades
lived in the country. She had two
adopted children, Kate and Louis
Merrill, aged respectively thirteen
and six One day in the spring of
that year she became angry with
the boz, aud seizing an axe beat
him to death. The murderess, as
sisted by two men named Charles
Fades and WIN. Howard, concealed
the body in a stone oven, but subse>
quentIy carried it away and secretly
buried it.
Kate was the only witness to the
murder Of her little brother, and for
that reason it was resolved to get
her out of the way. They dared not
commit a second murder, but they
bound the girl upon bareback mule
and took her forty miles into Platte
county, Missouri. They carried her
into the centre of dense forest and
cruelty abandoned her, confidently
expecting her to starve. After in
Vulnerable hardships she found her
way out of the woods. and, arriving
at a settlement, told her sad story.
The heartless woman and her two
confederates had fled, and no trace
of them could be found. Last week
the arrest of Fades was effected, and
Mrs. Fades was discovered in Gin
cinnati, living under the name of
clearinghouse. She was arrested,
and carried to Franklin county
Many other revolving crimes are
charged against her She is forty
years old, but we'll preserved and
good looking. Among other things
she is charged with conspiring to
assassinate her father and mother in
1871, her object being to get pos>
session of their property. The mur>
derous plan was frustrated by the
timely discovery of the father.

THE TRAINED JOURNALIST

The Atlanta papers have been
whacking Willingham, Of the Rome
Courier, because he said the "train-
ed journalist" had not yet reached
Atlanta. Willinghsm comes back
in the following style:
"There are many printers at the
cease" quietly following copy"
who have far better ideas of journal
ism than many of those who furnish
the "copy.' Because man may
have never had the opportunity or
a field for the proper and full display
of his qualifications, free from being
hampered, it is no reason that he
doesn't understand a business to
which lifetime has been given in
study ard practice, even as a COM
positor. The majority of the best
J'u' HaIt5No AZ th"SD WIN NCic iloL
trained at the ease" We instance
Horace Greeley, Henry Watterson,
Albert Roberts and, coming to our
own State. the proprietor and edi-
tors of the Savannah News, Pat
Walsh, Uncle Joe Clisby, Col. Chris
ty and others.
Some Of these gentlemen have not
occupied the field in which to give
full scope to their capacities. That
field is not in Georgia; but, taking
the contracted limits of journalistic
operations in this State, and we ind
these printer-editcrs are all equal to
the metropolitan journalists of At
lanta-that, while they do not pre-
tend to publish great journals and
the biggest papers, their journals
are, nevertheless, as well conducted,
as reliable and as influential as their
mcre pretentious neighbors. They
seldom 'sIop over with self lauda>
ton, nor indulge in cheap sensations,
the blazonry of differing prizes,
the humbuggerry Of chrome distri>
buttons and the sscrifcial offerings
of Durham bulls. Nor have we
ever heard of one of them being SO
reckless as to pay two thousand dol>
lars month to transport little bun
die of papers a hundred miles. No
trained journalist would have at
tempted such a hazardous enter
prise except from New York in an
emergency requiring il to circulate
thousands of papers. He certainly
would not have made the attempt
from Atlanta to Macon with small
bundle of papers that could have
been carried under his arms"

LIVING Too FAsT.-ln our day,
both married and single people live
too fast. A bachelor now has need
of an income such as would once
have satisfied man with family !;
and the father and husband requires
for his single household the means
that twenty years ago would have
supported two families, if not three.
Daughters are sent to fashionable
schools, at an enormous cost, there
to learn extravaganza, and in short,
to become fitted for anything but to
become wives of poor men. Sons
are ruined with unlimited pocket
money, late hours, and almost total
absence of paternal control. Thus
we not on y waste our own estates,
but perpetuate the vice in our own
children. In every way we are liv
ing TOO fast.

AN ENGLISH Physician has lately
published a book to show that no
man ought to die before he is 100
years old; and q French physician
has written the Academy OF Medicine
his belief 10 similar theory, with the
additional assurance that the secret
lies in but,ermIik. The idea of such
increased longevity being universal
is dreadful to think of. Every ono
knows of some one that he wouldn't
have live TO be a hundred for any
thing. However, We feel that we
may rely upon the doctors. if they do
their work AS well in the future as
they have in the past and We can
ouly have enough of them, that We
need not fear that we shall have to
attend any bore's centennial-nos
