better get out and let me drive thai
woman home for you? / want to pick
out a room If I'm TO stop at your house
after this"
At this speech Westermeyer struck
his horse with the whip. The animal
gave plunge and the man was knocked
down in the road by the rushing vehicle.
About two hours after he appeared at the
parsonage with his arm in q sling.
Westermeyer was desperate; he too k
the fellow into his study, locked the door
and asked him plainly if the possession
of all that he (Westermeyer) had IN the
world would buy him of. To this the
man with inexpressible gusto replied that
there wasn't money enough in the world
TO buy him of. Money couldn't buy no
such enjoyment as this. "Why," said
he, "if you should die, I'd pine away to
nothin'; l want you TO keep me alive as
long az you can, for my sake. Don't you
90 and blow your head open, because
then your boy will be called the son Of q
suicide, who was murderer as we'll"
l ought to tell you that every after
noon he came to the parsonage and told
Mrs. Westsrmeyer all the stories that
were in circulation about his intimacy
with the pastor Finally Westermeyer
came to me and made clean breast of
it. / couldn't give him much hope at
first, but / promised to find way to fix
the imp who was prosecuting him. L
found that the blue coat and blouse were
the town talk. Already the widest stories
were circulating. made a scheme OF
action and sent lor Mrs. Westermeyer,
10 whom l told the circumstances Of her
husbands career. She tainted during
the recital. But she afterwards regained
her strength, and we both set out to find
her husband and tell him what we pro-
posed to do. l drove her down in my
phaeton; we reached her house about
o'clock. There were several vehicles at
the door. Two of the other ministers OF
the village were in her parlor.
The fend sat on the versnda
and winked his eye and jerked
his thumb significantly in the
direction of the visitors as we came in.
| had scarcely opened the door when |
heard the report of a pistol. The next
moment the stsblemsn shouted "Murd-
cru l ran down to the barn, and there
lay Westemeyer in his own blood.
When | came back the soldier was
gone. Perhaps the most singular thing
of all was, that nobody in that town saw
him again.
Isn't that two o'clock striking?

FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
L of the ribs, increases on pressure !;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aconsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought TO have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken
with Quinine, are productive of the
most happy results. No better cathartic

Specia. 10 the NJ y Sun


New ORLEANS, Nov. 3O.-As the Pink.
ston murder case is given more Importance
by the Republican press of the north than
was the Custer massacre, its true history
should be made known. When the tragedy
occurred and the attendant outrages were
committed. the New Orleans Democrat
was furnished with complete statement
OF the case by telegraph from Ouachita.
Il was known to all parties then that
Henry Pinkston, the victim, was colored
Democrat. and that Eliza was particularly
aggressive In asserting Democratic prin-
clples, having on one occasion expressed a
trenzied desire to shoot the hearts out of
Radical negroes. Her violence was with
difficulty checked by white men in Monroe.
Her husband was in open feud with
Brooks, Republican black desperate.
whom he had multilated in a fierce en-
counter Brooks then vowed future
vengeance On the evening of the murder
Brooks was seen providing around Pink
ston's premises.
The morning after the murder was com
mltted, when the news spread, several
moved the wounded woman. She then

house shortly after midnight, and dragged
Henry out of bed and shot him seven
times shot her with pistol, cut her with
knife and with axes, and outraged her
several times.
The Republican coroner of Ouaehita
parish failed to hold an inquest oyer the
body of Pinkston after notification and
twenty-four hours exposure; a Republi-
can sheriff took no steps to bring the
murderers to justice; a Republican ward
justice refused to examine the case; not
single Republican official bothered him
self about the affair, and our Republican
governor failed to take any cognizance of
the horrible crime because it was then
tacitly held by all that to follow up this
crime would be to track loyal Republicans.
1t was known by the Republican Officials
that Pinkston openly voted the Demo
cratic ticket in 1874; that he had
been an active member of a
Democratic club up to the night he
