Hung in Georgia.

An Atlanta dispatch Of the 18th
instant, says: Stephen J.. Brinkley
was hanged at Newman to-day, for
the murder Of his wife nearly four
years ago. His case bad excited
widespread interest. He has a
brother in Memphis, who Is n very
wealthy broker, and who has spent
over $4,000 in attempting TO save
him from the gallows. For the
past two weeks most extraordinary
efforts have been made 30 secure eX-
ecutiye interference. Three Cover.
nors, Gov. Stonelof Mississippi,
and Governors Porter aud Brown,
Of Tennessee, have each sent papers
TO the Governor,as asking for clemency.

jackson, with whom Brinkley was
associated during the war, wrote 20
the Governor, saying that they be-
lieved the condemned man was Of
unsound mind, and that he bore
the reputation Of being crazy du-
ring the war. and was discharged
from the army on that account.
The Governor, however refused TO
commute the sentence.

Perpetual Motion Eclipsed by
the Invention of a Guiding
and PrOpelIing Power of
an Air Ship.

Mr.. James jackson Pennington,
of Henryville, Lawrence county, has
model for an Air Ship which he
sent to Mum S Co, to secure pat
ent for him. We saw the model
last Friday and it certainly is an in
genious continuance. He does not
propose to patent the Air Ship.
His is only the guiding or propell
ing power. We saw the model
work and it certainly will guide and
propel. The power to be used will
be either Spring, Steam or Magnet
ic. He says an Air Ship made in
the shape of a trout fish, with this
machine attached, will revolution
ize the commerce of the world. The
railroad cars will become obsolete,
that grim visaged war will be afraid
to shake its wrink led font, that il
licit distillers will be compelled to
abandon their unlawful avocation,
and that the condition of mankind
will be ameliorated. If the inven-
tion was complete now, the invent
or could load balloon with grapes,
canister and shell and sail out upon
the wings of the wind, above the of
Tending Turks, and demolish their
whole army. Constantinople would

ties among the clouds will noC be
mythical in those days. Mr.. Pen
nington is an uneducated man, but
he understands the laws of physic-
al nature well. The machine is the
result of his own thought, he hav-
ing worked on it since the 9th of
last Decemb Der almost continually.
He wrote Mum & Co., that he was
pregnant with this idea, that it was
a practical one, and they were the
physicians to deliver it, and that he
thuoght it would be perfect in all
its parts. Prof. Isham Walker, a
balloonist of great reputation, says
the machine is a success.-Co Columbia

DOWN THEY GO.
Hundred Thousand Dollars
Income.
New York correspondence OF the Boston
Journal

New York correspondence OF the Boston
Journal
One of our heaviest real estate
men has been under the harrow for
some months. To-day he has aban
doned the fight, and given up every
thing to his creditors. He was 4
very successful cotton broker. All
the money he made he put into real
estate. His revenues were very
large. His income was eight hun
dred thousand dollars year. One
building, near Trinity Church,
yielded him rental of ninety
thousand dollars per annum. Ev-
erything he touched turned to gold.
He was loaded down with cotton.
One day a merchant handed him
check of three hundred thousand
dollars to cancel a contract. He
took it. Within ten days cotton
surged and he made a fortune
He owned an elegant house on
Fifth Avenue. He crowded it with
paintings, statuary, and works of
art. Not content with this, he was
induced by speculator to take
hold of a railroad. He bought
bonds at sixty. Soon after they
went down to forty, and the gentle
man bought all he could lay his
hands on. He took the road. He
proposed to run it. He found it
unfinished. He equipped it; spent
three hundred thousand dollars in
locomotives and rolling stock.
Ruin came to HIM as it comes to ev-
cry one who dabbles in outside mat
ters. The panic completed his de-
moralization. His fine New York
property was mortgaged for more
than it was worth. To-day he has
ceased to struggle. Few men will
be warned and few men will be
the wiser for all this. Here is a
man who a few months ago had a
royal income of eight hundred
thousand dollars a year. He want
ed to make it a million. To day he
is hoUelessly bankrupt.

Cheap visiting Cards.

The American Agriculturalist
calls attention to a swindle Of petty
details, but large in the aggregate.
Eastern firms and others are adver-
tising TO furnish visiting cards at a
price which does not cover the cost
Of good cardboard. These adver-
tisements are directed TO the young
people, and receive attention usually
from none but the young. The first
one or two orders from any locality
are flied promptly, as rule, and
large inducements are offered 70
agents. Ia this way IL often hap
pens that some person in the vicin-
ity consents TO act as agent, and
secures a club larger or smaller, as
the case may be. The names and
money are sent on; the advertising
firm pockets the money, and the
agent is left TO make good the loss
of the patrons who have ordered
cards. All this is bad enough, but
the evil does not end there. The
list Of names secured ia this way
are turned over TO the publishers Of
obscene literature, who use the lists
in directing circulars, DC. The first
advertisements for cards, DC, fire.
queatly appear in the amateur pa
pers, where they escape notice, ex-
cept among the young. The Agri-
culturalist advises all parents whose
children have sent their names for
these cheap cards to carefully su-
pervise the mail matter received BY
the children. II has been OF late,
more than once, asserted that litera-
ture Of an evil tendency was more
freely circulated among the school
children OF the country than ever
before. The exposure OF the Agri-
culturallst seems 20 explain one rsa-
son why this Is SO.

Up the BOsphOrus.

Charles Dudley Warner writes to
the San Francisco Chronicle:
Drifting cautiously down to the
mouth OF the Golden Horn, picking
our way among the shipping that
is anchored in mid stream, we
turned away from the point of the
Seraglio, head due north and find
ourselves entering a river. This
the Bosphorus; it might be the
Hudson, or any other winding
stream that has green walls and is
lovely to look upon. Just think Of
it a moment. On our right the
eastern shore is Asia; on our left, to
the west is Europe; at our back is
the Sea of Marmora, and in two
hours we shall have come to the
waters of the Black Sea. The
channel turns so abruptly at times
times that seven handbook lakes
are formed, each more charming
than the last. Palaces, village line
the delicious shores; the hills brood
over the waters like hanging gar
dens of delight. ] believe that the
remarkable beauty of the BosPho
rus is positively unequalled in the
world, for nature has here made a
bed for art tc dream in. Behold
two continents, face to face, like ri
val queens, CHASING themselves be
tween two classic seas. We are
cruising between the Pontus and
Propontus, the Euxine and the
Marmora. We swing from shore to
shore; pause for a few moments at
each landing; exchange passengers,
and have ever about us a landscape
that is renewed at every tura. and a
surprise that il as fresh when we
steam up the Golden Horn at sun
set as at the hour when we came
out OF Ii with our hearts full of ex-
! pectation."

A Restored Union.

From Henry Watterson's Deco
ration Address: Fellow-soldiers of
the onion! l can not close without
thanking you for the opportunity
your generosity has given me to
speak in this place, and on my na
tive soil, for your country and my
country, for your flag and my flag.
The Union is indeed restored, when
the hands that pulled that flag
down come willingly, and with full
hearts, to put it up again. / come
with full heart and steady hand to
salute the flag that floats above me
my flag and your flag-the star
spangled banner of our fathers-the
flag that, uplifted triumphantly over
a few brave men, has never been oh
scured, destined by God and Nature
to watt on Its ample folds the eter
nal song of manhood freedom to all
the world, the emblem of the power
on earth which is TO exceed that on
which it is said the sun never went
down. had it in my mind to say
that it is for us, the living, TO de-
eide whether the hundreds of thou
sands who fell on both sides during
the battle were blessed martyrs to
an end, shaped by wisdom greater
than ours, or whether they died IN
vain. l shall not admit the thought.
They did not die 10 vain. The
power, the divine power, which fur
rowcd the land with battle-felds,
sowing it deep and broadcast with
sorrow, will reap thence for us, and
for the ages, a Nation truly divine;
a Nation of freedom and of free
men; where tolerance shall walk
hand in hand with religion, whilst
civilization points out to patriotism
the many open highways to human
right and glory.

School Examinations and Exhi-
bitiOns.

The anniversary exercises OF
schools and colleges now transpir-
ing call the attention of the public
prominently to our educational in
terests. But these public exercises
are a very poor criterion of the
work done in our schools, or of the
benefits conferred by them either
upon the pupils or the public.
Many pupils, many parents and
many teachers are satisfied with the
appearance and reputation of know
ing, without real definite knowl-
edge. Oftentimes pupils and classes
are specially prepared for eXamina-
tion and recite glibly from memory,
when they know not the meaning os
the words they utter. A man with
tact and without honesty can make
poor scholars appear much better
than a thoroughly honest man can
much better pupils. If the pupil
has mastered the subject, algebra
for instance, instead of having only
memorized many things about it,
he can pass as good an examination
conducted by a stranger as by his
teacher. Compositions are often
read, written wholly, or in a large
part, by another than the apparent
author. The ordinary preparation
for the examination or exhibition,
is simply to make a show. The
pupils study for this and not for
improvement. The sacrifice of prIn-
ciple in teachers and pupils, the
holding up of false appearances to
the public, what price to pay for
the applause of few visitors, or
for a newspaper puff, even if some
zeal in the cause of popular educa
tion is enkindled thereby! School
exhibitions, too, are gotten up,
whose exercises lie wholly outside
of all ordinary school work. But
examinations which sift the teach
ings that have been given, which
test the accuracy and thoroughness
of the instructions and acquisitions
of the past term or year, are desira-
BILE and useful. They thus become
fair representations of the actual
condition of the schools and a pow
erful stimulus to faithful work.
This is substantially the practice in
Germany, and in many other coun-
tries, and where snowy, public per-
formances as school exercises are
quite rare.
Examinations and exhibitions are
desirable if they are thoroughly
honest and confined rigidly to
actual school work, and presented
to the public without special prepa-
ration; but in so far as they depart
from this standard they are a sham
and a delusion, and turn the atten-
tion of both pupils and the public
from the great ends of school train
ing and education. TEACHER.

Turnips an Infallible Remedy
for Hog Cholera.

st. Louis Times: Major John S.
Mellon, a we'll known real estate
agent of this city, has a remedy for
hog cholera, and so great is his
faith in it that he has filed a claim
for the $4,000 reward offered by
the State for cure for this disease.
Major Mellon says that while act
ing as commissary in the Confeder-
ate army he had charge at one time
OF many thousand head of hogs.
The hogs were collected together in
Mississippi, and the cholera broke
out among them. Maj. Mellon, i'm
mediately upon discovering the
prevalence of the disease, began to
exert himself TO save as many as
possible. He separated them as
well as possible, keeping the infect
ed ones apart. He had on hand al
so large quantities of turnips which
he began to feed the hogs. Very
soon he observed marked i'm
provement and then he made nu-
merous experiments. He selected
some of the diseased hogs and
penned them apart. They we're fed
on turnips and nothing else, and all
of them recovered. He said his eX-
periments demonstrated the fact
that turnips are not only cure but
preventative for cholera. He
has impaired the secret TO many
farmers in the State, all Of whom
found the remedy sure. One
wealthy farmer in Howard county,
Mai. Mellon says, had thirty-eight
hogs afflicted with cholera He
was advised of the turnip cure, but
placed no faith ia IL. However, he
concluded TO give it a trial, and Sc
lecting one Of the hogs fed il tur
nips. The result was that the hog
recovered and all the rest died. Ma
ior Mellon states that unless a hog
is too far gone TO eat, the turnipl
will cure him. The remedy is a
cheap one and easily procured, and
it can do no harm to give IL a fair
trial.
