"A Chinese proverb says: "Woman's
tongue is sharper than a two-edged
sword;" and being furnished by Provi-
dence with such a formidable weapon it IS
but natural that she should resort to it in
preference to any other, both for offensive
and defensive purposes Still, instances
where members of the gentler sex emulate
the pernicious example of the stronger
and punch each others heads are neither
SO far nor SO few between as angels visits.
But as rule the tongue, supplemented in
extreme cases by the broom-handle or the
domestic poker, has been found sufficient
to decide the most serious family and
neighborly ditterences.-Chicago Times.

The WAY To HI1cH Up 4 Tan
As many accidents happen from care
leSsness in handling teams, l have re
solved upon the following as the safest
way 10 handle horses while hitchinc
them to a wagon: Always get the
lines undone, and in shape to pick
them up any time before hooking the
tugs. Some people put up the neck
yoke the first thing, and then hook
the tugs before taking down the lines.
Then if the team start they have no
control over them whatever. In un
hitehiug, the tugs should be unlocked
the first thing. Never throw the
lines of, one each side of The team, as
you would have no control of them.
Let them lay in the wagon till you do
them mp, when everything will be safe.
y little thought in regard to such
things might save a sad accident some

that trailed at his feet. he was clear
" agitated-his lips kept moving IN
nrayer. He looked around as they
were pinioniug his hands and ieet'
and being asked what he wanted
mentioned the name of Colonel Meek;
Colonel Meek came forward and
Green Henry bsde him adleu.
The cap of the black robe was
drawn forward over the doomed mans
head at twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock, noon. Quickly the sheriff and
his attendant stepped from the plat
form; deputy jerked the lever that
supported the scatfold from lis tasten,
ings, aud gave the floor OF The scanoid
kick.
An unearthlv groan arose from the
thousands of negroes who thronged
the adjacent walls and vacant places
The scaffold fell with an awful
sound; Green Henry dangled an ln-
slant in the air, and then fell full
length beneath the balcony of the jail.
Everybody was horriied; the sheriff
could scarcely move. A surgeon felt
the pulse of the fallen man and said
he was alive. The colored deputy
and an assistant raised Henry, carried
him back TO the balcony and removed
the black cap from his face. His
brow was covered with perspiration,
though he did not appear frightened.
He was alive and perfectly conscious,
and continued to murmur, Jesus, save
me!' There was slight abrasion on
his neck, and he was splitting blood.
At this point a telegram came from
Governor Ames, whom Colonel Meek
and others had been importunlng for
Green Henry's life. 1t said: / can
not interfere; show this TO Mr.. Meek
and Others
By this time the knot had been re,
tied, and Henry was assisted to rise
His feet pinioned, lie advanced as vel
as he could to the center of the plat
form. As the sheriff adjusted thu
moose, Henry said, Don't choke me.
The sheriff loosened the knot, anC
Henry asked, Got it tied right ?
Yes said the sheriff, and he asked {
doctor if it was not right. The doc
tor directed the knot to be placed fur
ther to the rear of the ear, which wal
was done.
The sheriff stepped back, the deput!
touched the lever, and Green Henry
swung in the air at thirty minute!
passed twelve O'clock
A thrill of horror ran through th'
multitude and a number Of negro
women tainted.
| The body, after the drop, was con
vulsed several times; the shoulder:
shrugged aud feet were drawn up
The neck was broken the skin of the
throat was torn and small stream o.
blood trickled down his breast. The
drop was 4 ! feet,
After six minutes a doctor fell
Henry's pulse; he still lived He
hung fourteen minutes, and then, al
eight minutes to one O'Clock, the doc
tors said he was dead.
The sheriff cut the rope, and the
body was taken by the deputy and an
assistant into the hall of the jail and
laid on the floor. \ large crowd OF
whites and blacks tiocked in to see the
corpse, and the Hlder reporter, after
glancing at the CLASSY eyes aud open
mouth of the dead man, withdrew
from the Jail, sick and oppressed with

f New jersey, Louis Waldenberger,
who bad been in States prison for
about 10 years on the charge Of infan-
Iicide, was granted complete pardon
and thereupon released from oonfne-
ment. At the time of Waldenberg-
er's conviction he resided in Egg Har-
Dor City with his wife aud three chill
dren. In 1860 an infant was born TO
him, which he disowned, charging a
man named John Geller with being
It's father. Soon after, the child was
poisoned, and Waldenbergcr was al
rested for the ctime, tried and con
victed of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be executed on Jan
uary -, 1861. Subsequent facts
however, were developed, showing 9
strong presumption that he was limo
cent, and the sentence of death wa
oommuted to Imprisonment for life
Within the past few months his limo
cence was clearly established, anC
hence his pardon, after having suffered
