WALKING WITH GOD.

The difficulty which most people
have in religion is to bring the
thought Of God into their daily lives.
His very greatness, makes it hard
to connect Him with homely and
every day matters. We sometimes
get sense of Him at church, or
while at pray meeting, or in rare
hourL of exhalted feelings. But again
when we go out in the busy world
where most of our time is spent,
God seems to fade away from our
minds into Heaven that is farther
off than the blue sky above our
heads. This is of course great loss
to us. 1t is neglect on our part.
We should never at any time get so
busy as to neglect our highest inter,
est. There are great many people
that know what is their duty, but
they sometimes fail to do it. We
should not any time forget the One
on high who is ever watching over
us all the time, whenever we do any
little thing that we ought not to do,
He knows it, and He knows every
little wicked thought that may
spring up in our minds; and He
knows everything that we ever
thought of. But as little as some
people think of all this it should bear
heavy on our minds. God has boun-
tifully supplied all things that per-
tains to happiness here in this life.
Even nature itself teaches the human
race a great many things if they will
notice. God seems to be in every
thing. The very things that seems
to us insignificant and without spir-
itual meaning are set around us as
part Of education. And If we con-
tinually recognize His presence in
them, all the medicines of bust
ness, and our household cares, and
our daily walks would become like
as the threads Of gold, holding us in
tho sweetest and noblest friendship
with our Heavenly Father.

WHAT IF THEY HAD BEEN
HANGEDP
[ From the Cleveland Herald. ]

From the Cleveland Herald.
In March last Mr.. J. Rozier, Of
Sparta, Georgia, was murdered He
was grocer, doing good business
in the town, and was known TO have
had, about the time Of the act, q
large amount Of money. He was
rash enough, in fact, to let people
know this. On the fatal Saturday
night he closed his store as usual,
and putting small basket of groce-
ries ON his arm, started for home.
On the way he was attacked by
some persons who evidently sneaked
up behind him and slugged, or, as
professionals call it, sand-bagged
him. His skull was crushed in, and
though he was not entirely dead, be
was SO paralyzed that he could not
utter word. All that he could do
was to point to his store key and
motion to 60 there. 1t was then
found that the bulk of his money
had been left there, and though the
murderer had got about $40, a
watch, and a revolver, the most of
the spoil was untouched. The MUIR
derer was tracked through several
States to Canada. He was then
tracked to the Great London Circus.
On Friday morning Detective E. G.
Murphy, of Atlanta, Ga, made ap-
plication to Lieut.. Morse, at the
Central Station, this city, stating
that he thought be had bis man.
The Lieutenant Immediately gave
him the required help, and the posse
repaired to the circus ground on Su
perior street, where the man was ar
rested. His name is John Enn>
wright, and he formerly lived 10
Atlanta. lie Immediately weakened,
and said he knew what his arrest
meant.
Two men had previously been
tried, and sentenced to life impris-
onment for this crime. A new trial
has been granted them, and it is
claimed that they are innocent, and
that Ennwright, if not the guilty
party himself, can point the mur-

A HAIRY CHILD.-We must say
that the child, Oracle Gilbert, the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Giles
Gilbert, who resides sixteen miles
east of Angola, 10 Northwest town
ship, Williams county, Ohio, is the
greatest living curiosity we have
ever seen. The child is about 10
months of age, finely formed, bright,
sprightIy and healthy, and almost
entirely covered with hair. The
hair on its head is some twelve or
fifteen inches in length, and is very
heavy. Its whiskers are three or
four inches in length. On its back,
body, arms and legs is a thick,
heavy, but fine, silky growth of hair,
covering almost its entire body, and
some two or three inches in length.
And, strange to say, there is no re-
pulsiyeness in the sight, no deformi>
ty, and, moreover, no humbug. Bar
mum, with all his grand splurges and
big blowing as to the curiosities and
humbugs he exhibits, never has had
a real, genuine actually, living
curiosity, human or otherwise, that
surpasses this pretty little child,

a DESPERATE KILLS rHRDE MEN.

A Terre Haute, Indiana, telegram
says that, at ST. Elmo, a small town,
on the Vanda!ia railroad, on the
morning Of the 18th inst, Mr.. JOHN
Scales. q wealthy citizen, went to
his house, from which he and his
family had been absent for some
days, and on entering he discovered
that it had been robbed of several ar
ticles of value, and noticed that the
depredations were of recent occur
renee. This fact induced him to 10.
stitute immediate search for the bur-
glars. After looking carefully in the
house and out-houses he went into
the yard 10 the rear and discover
ed man going rapidly through the
field, and looking back as though he
was making his escape.
Mr.. Scales mounted a horse and
started 10 pursuit. When within
forty or fifty yards of the party
Scales ordered the fugitive to halt.
This he did, and at the same time
drew revolver and shot his pursuer
three times, once through the head
and twice through the body, killing
him almost instantly, the deceased
living only long enough to tell the
facts.
The news spread like w,ldfre, and
in less than twenty five minutes
there were hundred men with pts,
tolls, rifles and shot guns, mounted
on horseback, and wild excitement,
flying after the fast escaping fugi-
tive. Although he was running
with the swiftness of deer, he was
soon overtaken by the swif.-comiug
horsemen. AS soon as the party
was in hailing distance the leader,
Mr.. Frank Barnes, called on him to
Shalt, or you are dead man,
With this the villain turned, and,
with revolver 10 each hand, began
firing. The first shot killed Mr..
Barnes instantly, and the second,
fred with his left MORALLY wounded
Frank Wisemsn. Changing again
to his right hand, he killed horse
under farmer whose name we could
not get, and with a yell worthy Of a
demon, rushed directly upon the
horsemen, making them scatter in
all directions.
Not satisfied with seeing the par
ty depart, the villain took deliberate
aim at the hindmost horsemen,
wounding the horse SO badly that he
fell to the ground, leaving his riGer
to make his escape on foot. He is
without doubt dead shot, as all
three of the men bit were shot !,
through the head.
The people at last accountS were
in hot pursuit. The men killed,
leave large families.

The ground Of acquittal from MUIR
der upon which a young colored

stricken, he mechanically raised his
weapon and fred, bringing the ghost
down mortally wounded, which turn

The women of Wyoming now
have a separate voting place in a
hotel reading room, and on election
day the entire male population
gathers about to see how they vote.
There is a popular impression that
the muscular organization of the sex
requires woman to deposit ballot in
a peculiar way of her own, just as
she exerts something like a horses
power to throw a small stone but,
beyond folding the ballots in three
cornered shapes, and marking small
hearts transiixed with arrows oppo>
site the names of favorite candi-
dates, no eceentricities are observed.

CINCINNATI, September 4.-RoDert,
James and Samuel Goodrich and James
Simmons were taken from the Jail and
hung by mob last night at New Castle,
KY. They were charged with murder
ing a number of persons in Owen and
Henry counties.
LEwIsvILLE, September 4.-The spe-
cial correspondent sent to New Castle
by the Courier-J Journal telegraphs that
nearly one hundred armed men were in
the mob that hung the Simmons gang.
Jailer ]. NJ. Jones says of it: About l
o'clock I was awakened by loud knock
ing at the doors and calls Of "Where is
the jailer ?" I hurriedly went down and
was confronted by a body of about l5O
to 200 men. They pointed pistols and
guns at me, and told me to get the key
of the Jail and go with them. When
we reached the Jail, they commanded
me to open the door. They were Joined
by other men on the way TO the Jail, and
when we got there, some forty or fifty
men rushed into the Jail at once, took
possession of the prisoners, and tied
ropes around their necks and led them
out. On the way out Sam and Joe
Goodrich said 1--WE are innocent, no
blood Of any man is on our hands,
The mob said in reply, "if you want to
pray get at it." Sam then cried, "will
you allow me to send money to my
mother ?" They said yes. He then
handed me about forty dollars They
then proceeded out the door and down
the street taking four to the bridge,
when two were hung on each side. The
following is published concerning the
crimes for which they we're in Jail. The
murders with which these persons were
implicated were that OF Parrish, for

Of their poor eolored brethren, have sunk
their wild yells into heavy groans and

to hide their gore-stained garment, and
