The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-08-09

Dick Hardcase thinks the Grange is a
huabug, because it will not put money in
his pockets while he stands idle and looks
on. Well, the Grange is not for such fel.
lows, The Grange only helps those who
try to help themselves. The man who
works and saves and gets money ahead,
SO that he canjoin with his neighbors and
buy for cash at wholesale prices, gets rich
and prosperous, while the stupid spend
thrift, who idles and goes on credit, is of
no account TO himself nor anybody else,
and never will be. 80
The patron of husbandry. (Columbus, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1879-08-09

kneed Patron, who as soon as he found
that it took work and persistence and
time and thought to work out the grand
reforms, for which the Grange was orga

back into the hands of the village oracIes
to bind him hand and foot-but that man
will never fight any more! There is no

a VALUABLE MEDICINE.

Buchu in various forms has for many
years been one of the chief articles i'll
the Materia Medica for the treatment
of certain diseases, among which are
chiefly those affecting the urinary, di-
gestive, and clrculatOry organs. The
difficulty that was long experienced in
obtaining preparation of this valuable
drug that could always he relied upon
for uniformity IN strength and absolute
purity led to the introduction of Helm
Eol6's Extract of Buchu, which for the
last quarter of a century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and
in house and family practice, and with
very gratifying success. This medicine,
like every other valuable thing has been
extensively initiated, and those who
have use for it will do we'll to see that
they obtain the genuine "IIelmbold
Buchu," the only pure and reliable pre-

A Good Word for Women.

John Ledyard in his Siberian jour-

women of oil nations I have observ-

wherever they may be found, are the
same kind, civil, obliging, humane
tender beings; that they are inclined
10 be gay and cheerful timorous and
modest. They anot.4lssasitate, like
men, to perform a hospitable or gen.
erous action not naughty, nor super
cilious, but full of courtesy and fond
of society; Industrious, economical,
ingenious; more liable in general to
err than man, but in general more
virtuous, and performing more good
actions than can he. I never address
myself in the language. of decency
and friendship to Q woman, whether
civilized or savage, without receiving
a decent or friendly answer. With
man it has often been otherwise. In
wandering over barren plains of in
hospitable Denmark, through honest
Sweden, frozen Lapland, rude and
churlish Finland, unprincipled Rus

wandering Tartary, woman has ever
been friendly to me. and, to add to
this virtue: these actions have been
performed in so free and kindly a
manner that drank the draught and

A Horrible Story.

Some employees Of tho Pittsburg,
Titusville and Buffalo Railroad relat.
ed a strange and horrible story yes
terday. It seems q man died last
week at Triumph, small place not
far from Tidtoute. Tie body was
kept three days, and at the expira-
ton OF that time WAS buried. Then
some curious person remembered that
a sister of the deceased had lain in a
death-like trance for saveral days.
1t was sugges9ed that the man had
been premat4rely buried. The sus-
picion took SO strong q hold upon
the people that it wasaresolyed to
exhume the body, and the coffin was
disinterred Saturday last, after have
ing laid three days in the grave. The
lid was wretched off, when horrible
sight greeted the eyes Of the resurrec-
tionists. Evidently the supposed
corpse had revived, and the wretchsd
man fought desperately for his life.
Imprints of his finger nails were vis-
ible on the lining Of the coffin. which
in some places was torn into shreds.
The coffin itself was stained and
wrenched apart at!the jointings in the
death ogonies Of the miserable man
who was buried alive. He had turn.
ed completely over, and was found
lying upon his breast, his distorted
countenance indicating the frightful
sufferings he had undergone. Pitts

TO Be Shot.

Recently there arrived IL Atlanta,
under arrest by order Of a United
States Lieutenant, O man named
Coleman, from Knoxville, Tenn. In
the year 1865 Coleman was FEEDER
al soldier, stationed with his regi.
ment at Knoxville. One night he
and q comrade went 10 the house of
an old man, whom they supposed
possessed large sum Of money.
They began beating and threatening
the old gentleman, in order to force
him to show tae hiding place Of his
treasure. His daughter, q bright and
heroic girl, rushed to her fathers as
sistance, when Coleman shot and
killed her. He was arrested, tried
and sentenced to be shot by the mill
tary authorities. Before the day of
execution rolled around Coleman
made his escape and left for parts
unknown. He was gone some six
or seven years, and finally he return
ed to Tennessee, suppcsing all dam
ger had passed with the military.
But he was arrested by the civil au-
thorities, tried, convicted and GEN.
fenced to be hanged for the same of
fence. Now the military authorities
claim him for execution, and the
Tennessee authorities have given
him up. Whether he will be execut-
ed.on the original findingssentcnce Of
the military courts is not known. 1t
is more than probable that, should
be held guilty without further trial,
the President will commute his sell.

The Jews.

A Jew =! what is there in Chat name
that Can be reproach TO any man,
woman or child now living on earth !?
Moses, the wisest Of law.givers, was
a Jew. Joshua, who command ed the
sun TO stand still, and it did stand
still at the storming of Jericha, was
a Jew. David, ga man after Gods
own heart" was Jew, Solomon,
the wisest Of men. whose fame is
greater to-day than when he built
the temple, was Jew. The prophet
Elijah, who was not allowed to die,
but was translated to heaven in q
chariot of fire, was a jew. All the
prophets were Jews alf the apostles
were Jews Jesus Christ himself was
a jew! His mother was q Jewess.
In evary age and country the Jews
have done their whole duty to the
country in which they have resided
and to society. Marshal Soult, one
Of Napoleon's ablest marshals, and
who stood by him to the last at Wa.
terloo, was Jew. Judah p. Benja-
min, one Of the ablest and most faith
full of Confederate leaders, was Jew.
Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, is q
Jew. The present Prime Minister
Of Great Britain is Jew. But why
enumerate farther? From the earli-
est dawn of history to the present
time, the Jews have furnished their
full share of brave and honorable
men, and of pure and beautiful wo-
men. Who has surpassed them in
public spirit, in works of charity, and
devotion to principle?

speak of him as quiet, reserved
young man who made few acquajn-
tances, vas somewhat infatuated with
the stage, and frequently said he in
tended TO become an actor. Mrs.
Abeling, with whom Gray boarded,
and Mrs. Billings. at whose house
he lodged, say that he frequent
ly did strange and foolish things.
They thought he was half crazy.
He said that all of his relations
were actors, that he came Of q
star-actor family, and was going on
the stage to do as his relatives had
done. Mrs. Bruin, cousin who al
most raised him, gays none of his
family were ever actors, but he has
passion for the stage and is great
frequenter Of theatres. His father
died before he was born, but when
he came here last autumn from Keo-
kuk he said "my father is not dead.
l know he is alive, for sat at the
same table with him some days ago
and he would not speak to me, damn
him! But will get even with him
yet" Mrs. Bruin thinks that he had
an idea that Booth was his father,
and that he is not responsible for
some Of his acts. The Katie to whom
the letter found is addressed is
halfsister of Gray.
The prisoner, Mark Gray, remains
non-committal as to his reason for
attempting to assassinate the TRACE
dian, but assumes mysterious air
and talks of his wrongs, of his re-
grets ct the failure and of his aspira-
tions to become an actor. ~ The: thco-
ry is advanced that he believes him
self to be blood relation of Booth,
and that his wrong consists in the
failure of Booth to recognize him.
Some of his words since his arrest
give color to this theory, but he has
not affirmed it, and on the contrary
has said the actor was no relative Of
his.
