HANGED.

Haywood Grant, eolored, was
hanged in Rome last Friday for the
offense of arson. He was one of the
most heartless depraved criminals on
record. Besides burning the store
house in Rome, for which he was
hanged, he confessed to the follow
ing crimes
In 1868, while employed upon
the western rivers as a deck hand
upon the steamer "Potomac' he
killed deck hand with a billet of
wood. lie was not suspicioned and
made good his escape from its vi
cinity.
Several months after the above
occurrence he killed another deck
hand while both were engaged in
that capacity upon the steamer
"Bostonian." He changed his berth
to the steamer ALASKA" and was
discharged from there for stealing.
He turned his attention to Mem
phis Tennessee. Here he murdered
an Irishman and robbed him of $40
in money. Strange to say he again
escaped detection.
In 1873 he was arrested upon a
charge of stealing a mule, convicted
and sentenced to the State peniten-
tiary at Nashville, Tennessee, for
ten years. From here he was leased
out and went to work under Gen.
Forrest upon the Elizabethtown and
Padncah railroad. He did not re-
main long, however, but successfully
made his escape from the gang.
In 1879 he was again arrested
and tried in Memphis for shooting
at a white man and killing a police>
mar. He was found guilty and
sentenced to hard labor in the peni
Tertiary for a term Of fifteen years.
Again he was sent out to work as
convict this time to the Vulcan
iron works at Chattanooga. Again
his wonderful luck came to him and
he made his escape.
He also confessed that he killed
Gen. Thos. G. Hindman, late of the
confederate army, at Helena, Arkan-
sas, on the night of the 18th of Sep
TENDER, 1865. 1t will be remember
ed that General llindman, while
smoking in the library of his resi-
dence, was shot by some unknown
party through the window, the cons
tents of the gun lodging in his neck
causing death eight hours after. No
clue to the murderer was ever found
until this confession.
Notwithstanding a reward 1000
each for the last three murders, yet
he bafiled the detectives. He con-
fessed to burning a store at Plains
Vile, Ga, and other smaller crimes.
He has paid the penalty on the scaf>
fold, through the enforcement Of
Georgia laws, and is now in his
grave.

THE Chicago Tribune has discov>
cred that Thomas Jefferson, the au
thor of the Declaration of Indepene
dence, and the most conspicuous il
illustrator of its principles, was not a
patriot, and "was prodigiously mis-
taken in his conception of our Con
stitution and form of Government"
This was because he was opposed to
Capitalization. If he were now liv-
ing. he would also be opposed to
Grantism. While he was President
he was not a gift,teker, nor did he
appoint people tie Office because they
were his personal friends and kin. -
Therefore, he was not patriot.

PRINCIPLES OF GOOD FARMING

First-The farmer who would
succeed well, and derive pleasure as
well as profit from his calling, must
manifest an active and abiding in~
terest in his vocation. 1t takes
heart work to make hand>work
pleasant,
Second The farmer must study
how best to increase and maintain
fertility to his soils. There is no
inertia 10 agriculture. There must
be progress, either forward or retro
gade.
Third The farmer must strive to
increase the quality as we'll as the
quantity Of his crops. 1t is the
quality that determines the price
Ia this Excelsior should be his un,
varying motto.
Fourth-The farmer must seek
with watchful eye to improve his
market facilities. 1t is transporta-
ton that eats up the profits.
Fifth-Tho art of raising better
stock is not as we'll known as it
should be. Keep no more animals
than you have the facilities to feed
and care for well.
Sixth--The farmer must seek to
improve his social, intellectual and
financial condition.

disbelieved the report. Bishop Gib~

RATHER ROMANTIC.
A San Francisco Girl Who Was Bound
to Have the Man She Wanted.

TO nave the MAN Sne wanted.
GSt. Louis Special to the Chicago Tribune,
Several days ago beautiful young
lady arrived at the Lindell Hotel
here, registering herself as Miss Ida
Hermance, San Francisco, she en-.
gagged the hansomest parlor in the
hotel at $50 a day, together with the
bridal chamber, a circumstance
which created quite sensation
among that large class which take
an interest in lonely women. She
was magniticently dressed, and wore
upon her person several thousand
dollars worth of diamonds, and she
dispensed her funds among the wal
tiers of the hotel as if she were
princess. Saturday she published
an advertisement in the daily papers
directed to E. q. Crippiu, stating
that lady at the Lindell Hotel de-
sired to see him. Crippin heard of
the advertisement to>day, went to the
hotel, and found in the lady an old
sweetheart he had known for many
years. The meeting resulted in a
hasty marriage, which took place at
DR.. Schuyler's church this evening
Crippen is well known in Cincinnati
and Chicago as seller of safes. The
young lady is said to be the only
daughter of millionaire widow of
California. She ran away from her
about two weeks ago to
Crippin. The romantic episode has
created quite sensation here.

A COTToN MILL IN MOBLE.-The
Mobile Register notices that some of
the enterpriSing business men of that
city are making an effort to establish
a Gotten factory on the premium bond
plan. 1t seems, says the Register,
hardly matter of doubt that the
establishment and judicious manage
ment of such an enterprise is what
Mobile has long needed. In other
words, it is an attempt to bring the
mill to the cotton, which has results
ed most successfully in other sections
of the South, and we trust that full
examination Of the plan will prove
its feasibility.

A PRONOUNCED REPUBLICAN FOR
TILDEN

Gen. Jonn +. Farnsworth, of Hi
nois, recently made a speech in ia
vor of Tilden and Hendricks. He
served for several years in Congress
as a Republican, and voted with the
Republican party in support of all
the measures of reconstruction. His
position is significant and his speech
a very strong statement Of the onl y
possible reform. We select two point
ed extracts. Referring to the impos
sibiIity of reform within the party
he spoke we'll of Hayes personally as
negative man, popular because of
his negative qualities. He had
known him in Congress, and there,
as in the army, he accomplished Its
tie. The man from Chic had voted
right and that was all Such a man
could not be trusted with the work
of reform. Wheeler was spoken of
as a man of fair ability, and no doubt
of integrity. In Congress he chief
ly distinguished himself as chairman
of the Pacific Railroad Committee,
reporting and voting for extension of
their franchises and privileges. Gen.
f. said a party long in power could
not reform,

THE Two PARTIES. -The Republican party
has been upon trial for the past fifteen years,
and what has it shown? The grandest record
of good deeds. substantial reforms. and
official integrity ever presented in the history
of government Its responsibilities have been
greater than any party was ever before called
upon to bear It's trusts have been sacred in
their character. 1t has held in its keeping
personal liberty the rights and privileges of
individuals. and the very existence of the ma
tion. It has expended and collected thou
sands of millions for the common defense and
general welfare, and has shown in all its
transactions a regard for the people who
trusted it, aud for whose protection it was
organized. Surely if noble deeds and great
achievements entitle party to consideration,
the Republican party has earned by its splen-
did career the thanks and gratitude of the
civilized world. Look now at the record of
Democracy9 Its repeated betrayal of public
confidence its reasonable sympathies and
open aid to rebellion; its oppression of the
blacks in the Southern States; its utilization
with such plunderers as Tweed its lily con-
cealed sympathy for the lost cause and its
total want Of appreciation of the public
wants as shown in its stupid transactions in
the present House Of Representatives stamp
1t as the worst possible organization that ever
couited public favor.
Is it a difficult thing for tie loyal citizen to
choose between the two parties Can any
man who wishes well for his country hesitate
to support the one and oppose the other /?
Mol With the history Of the two parties so
clearly written, and so well understood, every
citizen can draw the line for himself. If he
favors good government the peace and Sc
cnrity of all, the development of our national
resources, and the growth of our free nstitu-
tions he must of necessity advocate and sup
port the Republican party. If these have no
charms for him, and he seeks evil rather than
good, then he belongs to Democracy, aud
should DO found with it.
