Tho Conyict's Wife.

The Jefferson City Journal Of the 9Th
says:
A stranger called ct the penitentiary
yesterday upon a somewhat novel mis-
sion. After some little hesitation he
disclosed to deputy warden Bradbury, in
charge, what It was. He wanted to get
certain oonvict's consent to his mar
riage with the oonvict's wife. Mr..
Bradbury sent for the prisoner, who Ia
up for ten years. and after some few
prelimiuaries the stranger. who seemed
to be an old acquaintance of the convict,
made known his errand. Yes" said
the convict after some little reflection,
you can marry her; but what. will You
do with that boy OF minel" o'Oh. I'll
take care Of him." said the stranger.
"All right, them" said the convict. ''you
have my consent to marry the old
woman. but il | tin9i, when | get out Of
this, you hain't been takin' good care OF
my boy, I'll make it mighty hot for yeu

newed his assurances. and the two men
separated. both we'll epleased with the
result Of the interview, and each i'm
pressed with the idea, apparently. that
he himself, had the best Of that bargain.

filed the church, all intent upon the
interesting ceremony" One person
age has been forgotten--Bishop, the
old body servant. He, too, was present.
With folded arms and much emotion OH
his aged face, he gazed ut the ceremony
with the rest.
1t soon ended, and the brilliant crowd
flowed forth from the old church. Ira
dition relates that the bride and rs many
of the fair attendants M could do 80 en-
tered the great chariot, which rolled of
drawn by six spirited horses; while the
bridegroom, fonder of horseback, noun
ted the splendid English charger be-
queathed to him by Braddock, and
cantered after the coach, attended by
number of gallant youths.
Such was the picturesque scene in
the life of the Father of his Country"
We see so much of the great soldier,
statesman and ruler, that it is pleasant
to catch n glimpse of the lover and bride
groom.
But the great oaks and old church,
lost in the wilds of New Kent. are still
there. Beneath the trees flashed that
brilliant cortege of old days-in that
building George Washington placed the
ring on the finger of his bride. All has
passed away now. The stately and
beautiful figures have long lain down
in their tombs, but the stubborn trunks,
with their ancient inscriptions, remain
to recall the life of the past.

They took man and apparently sew
cred limb from limb, actually, at last,
cutting off his head, as it appeared.
They scattered these members along the
ground for considerable distance, and
allowed them to remain for some time.
Gathering them together, they spread
over these remains sheet, under which
one of the jugglers crawled, and soon
came out followed by the man who had
been discovered, now sound in every
part. Neither was there to be found
about the place any trace of the thing
that had been done.
A large caldron was set, and into it n
quantity of rice thrown. Without the
sign of fire this rice soon began to boil,
and ont from the cauldron was taken
more than one hundred platters of
cooked rice, with q stewed fowl at the
top of each. This trick is performed
on smaller scale by the most ordinary
fakirs of the present day.
But space fails to give opportunity
for illustrating, from the records of the
past, how the miserable tame perfor-
mances-by compassionate the me-
diums of the present day were paled and
overshadowed by those of other days
and more adroit peoples. There is not
a wonderful feature in any of the So
called phenomena Or manifestations
which was not, nay, which is not now
more than duplicated by other skillful
performers, whose connection with
earth, and earth alone, is too evident to
be doubted, even if the fact was not
supported by their own testimony.

The San Saba Ne,cs gives the fol-
lowing account of the killing of s. s.
Brooks, county attorney: Between sun
down and dark, while going to his board
ing house, little distance out of the
town of San Saba, he was fired upon
several times. Brooks ran to Mr.. Hal
denis house and fell. 1t was found that
he was shot through the right arm,
through the left shoulder and through
the body, and the last named wound
was pronounced fatal. Brooks stated to
several that he would die and that he
wanted to make statement before the
proper authorities. Accordingly, the
district clerk was sent for. and the
wounded man, in lis dying declaration,
stated, "To the best of my knowledge
and belize that it was Jim Brown that
shot me-" stating also that Brown had
called to him on the road, attracting his
attention and then shot him, and that
there were two other persons with
Brown whom he did not recognize. Mr..
Brooks stated further that he, himself,
was unarmcd and that he ran to the
house as soon as fired upon.

Il Plague Spot.

Grenada is without city government,
and burglaries are frequent. A dry
goods store has been robbed of articles
worth 81 900, and private residence of
$500 in valuables. A bank containing
$4,000 to the credit of the sufferers liz
closed and unguarded, the cashier being
sick. An English setter followed his
masters coffin to the grave, showed signs
of grief, refused his food, would not
leave the cemetery, and died near the
grave of his lost friend. In one of the
Memphis banks q relief committee de-
posted IS, 900 and fled the money could
not be drawn except on their order, and
they could not be found. Well-known
people in New Orleans sick of the fever
have their names suppressed out of con-
sideration for the feelings of absent
friends Three imported cases have ap-
peared at Nashville, one of them being
student at Fisk University, who is in
critical condition. In street in New
Orleans, forty-three Chinese laborers,
failing to get work on q rice plantation,
because of the owners alarm from the
fever, were found huddled together in
starving condition. About $50 refugees
have arrived in Chicago during the past
ten days. Large numbers of people
have gone through to points in WiscOn
sin and Minnesota. Miss Kate Coffman,
who was called the belle of Grenada,
and "the most beautiful woman in the
South, is among the dead, her father
and mother having died also.

SUNBEAM LOVE.
.rling little infant

A darling little infant
Was playing on the floor,
When suddenly sunbeam
Came through the open door,
And striking on the carpet, ...
IL made o golden dot
The darling baby saw it,
And crept up to the spot.
His little face was beaming
With smile Of perfect joy
As If an angels presence
Had filled the little boy;
And with his tiny finger,
As in fairy dream,
He touched the dot of sunshine
And followed up the beam.
He looked up to his mother
To share his infant bliss,
Then stopped and gave the sunbeam
A pure, sweet baby-kiss-
q Lord, our Heavenly Father,
In the fulness of my joy,
pray that childlike feeling
May never leave the boy.
But in the days of trial,
When sin allures the youth.
."Send out the light" to guide him
The sunbeams Of thy truth;
And may his heart be ever
To thee an open door,
Through which thy truths, as sunbeams
Make joy upon life's floor. -

The Oneida Fraternity.

The most successful attempt to form
Il "Free Love" community in the Uni
ted States has been that of John Hum
phrey Noyes at Oneida, New York.
Robert Owen started similar enter
prise at New Harmony, Indiana, about
fifty years ago, but it soon ended in fail
ure. About thirty years ago Noyes
started his community of free lovers
which since has become known to the
world as the "Oneida Fraternity" HI
gathered about him number of men
and women who were to hold everything
in common; among whom there was to
be no marriage, and no idea Of family /;
who were to lead life in which men
were to hold all things common, women
as well as goods; life in which the
equality of women with men, in social
and business relations, was to be main
tanned. He pretended to believe, that
on his natural" system of following the
lowest grades of animals, spiritual inter
course with God might proceed so far i'll
this life as to destroy all selishness, and
so make an end of sin, and he hoped
that his community might in good time
demonstrate that men and women could
live unselfish and sinless lives. For
thirty years this community has con-
tinued in existence. The landed prop
erty and buildings arc now valued at
$75OOOO. The farmers are in good con-
dition, well stocked with horses and cat
tie, and the income from produce and
special manufactures is large. There
are now in the community las males
and ISL females. Eighty-two Of these
are under 81 years of age. For many
wears no children were born in the COM
munity, but now there are about sixty
under IA years of age. But this dis
gushing experiment is doomed to come
to naught, as all similar attempts have
in the past. Nothing that destroys the
marriage rite, outrages deccncy and
ignores the law of God can perpetuate
it's existence. Noyes is now sixty-seven
years old and it seems probable that he
will witness the dissolution of his abnor-
NAL society. Many members of the COM
munity have already abandoned it and
serious differences are said to exist. 1t
is probable that the large property OF
the association is all that now holds 1t
together. A number of leading men,
bers, among them son of Noyes, are in
antagonism to his radical and indecent
social theories. The younger men, read,
ing and thinking for themselves, have
become dissenters, and it is hoped will
soon become the means of abolishing a
fraternity which is dark blot upon
American civilization.-The Christian.
