Language of Finger-Rings'

In case of II gentleman wishing to
marry. he wears IL plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger OF the
left hand, or hearthand. When
success attends his suit, and he is
actually engaged, the ring passes to
the third finger. If, however, the
gentleman desires to tell the fair
ones that he not only is not Gin the
market" but that he does not design
to marry ut all, he wears the slgnet
upon his little finger, and all the
ladies may understand that he is out
of their reach. With the fair sex
s.the laws of the gold ring are: A
plain or chased gold ring on the lit
tie finger of the right hand emplies
mot engaged" or, in palmer words,
.sready tor proposals, sealed or 9th
erwise.r When engaged the ring
passes to the third finger OF the
right hand. When married, the
third finger of the left hand receives
it. If the fair one proposes to defy
all siege TO her heart, she places the
ring on her first and fourth fingers
one on each-like two charms tf
keep away the temptel. 1t is some
what singular that this latter DIS
position of rings is rare.

..True Democracy"

The Oglethorpe correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu-
tionalist is responsible tor the follow
ing: ga funny little episode oc-
CURED in Mr.. Stephens speech Sat.
urdav. which shows that from the
sublime all ridiculum there is but
one step-hardly span from Jeffer-
son to jollity. Little Aleck' had
inst began to tread water on one OF
those constitutional pillows of his
and was dashing JeffersUnian spray
all around him. when, drawing that
little phial of Bourbon, he douched
his lips with a gentle sip, and, re-
turning the bottle to his pOcked,
thus concluded his rhetorical swell :
Yes, fellows citizens this is trne De
mocracy.' A gentle smile lowered
over and fingered around the crowd
some minutes, and with a profound
assurance that the CommOner was
we'll organized if that phial be true
Democracy, they relapsed into at
tention again.

Louisiana Regulators" at
work.

tOuacniid AcItestdpii, ou'y w.
Our little city was the scene, last
night, of tragedy, which has pro-
duced an intense feeling of excite
ment in this community, if we may
form our Judgment from the inn
mense thrOngs which haved filed
through the streets this morning.
between the hours of ! and z
O'Clock this morning, n band OF
masked. mounted men, whose NUM-
Der has been differently estimated
as ranging from 40 to 500, rode into
town and halted in front OF our
parish Jail, which is situated directly
in the rear of the court house square.
Three of the party entered the room
of the deputy sheriff and demanded
the Jail keys, and when he at first
refused their request, they threatened
him with drawn pistols. After Sc
curing the keys they entered the jait
and proceeded immediately to the
cells where four negroes charged
with murder were confined, they
gaggeg and bound them, and then
marching silently across the court
house square, hung them all to the
limb of an oak tree in the center OF
the square. While this was being
done a number of the party were
standing guard over the few resi-
dents of the immediate vicinity OF
the Jail who had been aroused, but
the regulators" were so quiet in
their movements that no disturbance
was created, and our populace
aweke this morning to find that
they had been treated to a sensation
unawares. From their concert Of
action and the quick, decisive man
ner in which everything was exc
cuted, the deputy sheriff thinks it
must have been well-organlzed
band, and says they seemed to obey
implicitly the orders of their leader.
Three of the negroes were implicated
in the killing of w. C.. Fitzgerald
last May, a white constable at Tren-
ton, who had attempted tn arrest
them for disOrderly conduct on the
streets, and one of them had been
sentenced to the penitentiary for life
and was about to be removed by
the sheriff to Baton Rouge, while the
'otIler two of the Fitzgerald murder
ers had been remandcd for a new
trial, the jury had been hing for
several days by one Duncan Hill, a
prominent. pegFe politician of our
parish. who we think is largely re-
sponsible for this summary act OF
Justice. The feeling throughout the
parish of disappointment ut the es-
cape of these men from punishment,
which they had deserved, was very
bitter, both among the whites aud
blacks, but no one suspected that
this method would be taken to carry
out the ends of the law, and all oui
good citizens deeply regret this ACT
of lawicssness.
The fourth victim was negro
who was charged with waylaying
and numbering another negro II
cold blood. He had been sentenced
by the District Court to the Peniten
tiarv, but had obtained II new trial
The negroes in this vicinity thinl
he has reaped his just reward, and
have expressed but little regret TO
the Fate of the Others.
The Coroner's jury have jus
brought in the following verdict:
To-wit, that the said Pleas Phil
lips. Henry atkins, Jim Beatty an'
Tow Ross. came to their death b.
hanging, and that the same wa
done by parties unknown.

Thrilling Adventure.

A mountain climber, L. G.. ThOmp-
son, desci ibes in II letter to the
Times (London) Il remarkable adj
venture in the Alps. On June I'D
he missed his way on the Rothhorn
and climbed up to Il point on the
rocks from which he dared not at
tempt to descend. That is To say,
he shranll for more than five days
from making the attempt, and sub-
mitted. to the ag0nies of starvation
for that period. Il drank water at
a brook he writes. "on Monday
about 3 p. M, and again about sun
set on Saturday. In the interval l
had ONLY the rain water | could col
lect from my umbrella and nay hat.
| had nothing of any kind to eat aud
ONLY. the earth to suck. That deli
cious air was food to me- Yet du-
ring all this time Mr.. Thompson re-
tanned composure enough to write
to his wife two or three times Il day,
telling her how he Jared and how
he felt y and he finished the story
on the 10th. after his escape, which,
singu1arly enough, he achieved with
ont assistance. Zurich Gertsci
found me by his house, lettering
down ia the dark to the unfeneed
bridge of the Alpbach, abont an
hours walk from Grindelwald.
Bv this man he was taken in and
given food, and was helped back the
same night to his hotel.

One Of NapOIeOn's Soldiers
(Holt County lMo.) Sentinel


Johann Frederick Seyffer departed
this life ON the evening of July lS,
1873, at the residence Of his son, two
miles South of Oregon, Mo. He was
born in the village of Kirchberg,
near Marbach, in the kingdom of
Wurtemberg, Germany, November
4, 1892. When but one lS years of
age Mr.. Seyffer was drafted into the

sanguinarv battles of Bautzen and
Leipsic took place. Mr.. Seyffer as
cavalryist, under the command of
the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg,

The battle of Leipsic proved to be
the turning point of French rule in
Germany and NapOleon's Germanic
allies, glad of the opportunity to be
rid OF foreign domination and OPP
preston. arrayed themselves against
Napoleon and assisted in driving the
French out of Germany. Mr.. Seyf-
fer was also one of the actors OF the
memorable campaign of 1914, which
eliminated in the conquest of France
by the allied forces, the taking OF
Paris, the dethrOnement of Bona
parte, and his Punishment to the
Island of Eliza. At the close of the
campaign in France in the fall Of
1914, Mr.. Seyffer was Frustrated by
IA severe attack of inflammation of the
lungs, which necessitated his dis
charge from military duty. When
Napoleon escaped from the Island
of Eliza and again placed himself at
the head of the French army in 1915,
MIR. Seyifer was again carried to
arms. He with his command was
fastening to the Netherlands, but
the battle of Waterloo had been de-
cided against Napoleon and his hosts
before he could participate in it.
The final defeat of Napoleon and his
Punishment to St. Helena having
been accomplished. Europe began to
enjoy an era OF peace, and Mr.. Seyf-
fer and his Surviving comrades set
tied down in life.
The deceased emigrated with his
family to America aud settled in
Logan country Ill.,, where he resided
IA number of years. Alter the death
of his wife, which occurred in Illinois
| he removed with his softo Nebraska
whence about ten years ago ht
moved to Hold county, Mo. MIR
Seyffcr was the father of nine chill
dren, six of whom survive his loss
He leaves thirty grandchildren and
about sixteen great Srandchlldren
For the last eleven years he hai
been afflicted with "a cancer III The
4 left eve and face, and he often pray
ed for his dissolution. His powers
of endurance were very great, ans
his mind remained clear to the las
moment of his life. At the time o
his death. the old battlescarred here
had attained the age Of % years
months and l6 days. He was buried
with the lonors of the Germs

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1878-06-22
For The Cecil Viii
Festival 1T st. Johns Church.

Lewisvile situated on the Maryland and
Pennsylvania line, which is ordinarily a
quiet village, was made quite lively, on last
Saturday evening, by the strawberry festi-
val held in St. Johns NJ. E. Church. The
immense crowd of people that assembled
there bad nina for the tc0rk that acas be-
fare them, and as a result, in about four
hours there was netted to the church the
sum of $101 CT. The festival was not de-
termined upon until few days previous to
the time of holding it. But when the
young ladies and gentlemen of St. Johns,
possessed as they are with au. indomitable
and pcrseverng Spirit, resolve on doing,
success is guaranteed. A better band of
workers | never saw. Not only was it
financially most gratifying, but as well the
harmony that prevailed throughout. The
pastor, Rev. J. Owen Sypherd, on Sabbath
morning, called upon the congregation to
signify their desire and purpose to prose-
cute the enterprise of finishing the church
building at once, by rising vote, and the
large congregation rose in mass; and at a
meeting Of the board of trustees, on Mon
day evening, the pastor was directed to
order the seats, blinds, &C., and before
this notice appears in the paper they will
all be ordered, and it is now after eleven
years of anxious waiting, confidently ex-
pected that at an early period, in the Fall
months, the church will be ready for dedi-
cation-an event that will gladden. the
hearts of the people in that vicinity.
