THRILLING.
The Defense a Georgia Man Makes
for Killing His Wife's Seducer.

Atlanta Dispatch to New York Herald.l
The statement of Hill made to
day during his trial for murder, Gre
ated a profound sensation. Old
| lawyers say that they never saw a
paper used in a courthouse with
r such tremendous effect. He opened
: by saying that the statement OF
the prisoner was not taken under
oath, but that he wanted to say
what he had tv say not under the
restrictions of an oath, "and may
the God Almighty, that am soon
to meet, smite me dead IN my tracks
if deviate one iota from the truth"
Re then went on to say that Sim
lmons met his wife while she was q
4 school girl, and had loved her ever
since; that he had persistently pur
sued her, and had at last decoyed
her away from home under the pre-
tense of taking her to him; that
Simmons thus decoyed her away,
persuaded her to. drink beer and
there and then alienated her; he
said this was accomplished forcibly;
Hill returned home that night and
found his wife sick; after this Sim
mons had power over and persuad
ed her to 20 off; Hill then looked
for her, and on Monday she sent
him letter detailing what she had
done, and begging her husband
to forgive her; he took her into
the country; Simmons followed
her there, and finally wrote her a
note, which she at once enclosed
back to Hill. Hill then determined
to kill Simmons; went to hunt for
him; Simmons avoided him; and he
wrote him letter begging him if
he had one spark of manhood In
him to meet him; he met Simmons
accidentally on the street and fol
lowed him and shot him. "Gentle
men of the jury, 1 loved my wife,
and l love her now; if you knew her
you would love her, too; l killed |
John r. Simmons because he inva
ded my home and ruined my wife. |
If 1 did wrong hang me; you will
find that l can die like l have lived.
Gentlemen, l will turn to the sixth
of Proverbs in the Bible
{ Mr.. Hill here read the chapter. |
l have been hurt worse
than l can express. love my wi e
better than my life. Our welded
life has been long honeymoon. We
had our home frolics and played to-
gether. Now, gentlemen, 1T is with
you to decide. L want no sympa-
thy, but justice. My life is in your
hands. do not regret anything
hat has been done. l only regret
having to do it. Gentlemen, l bid
you adieu. 1 put my trust in God"
During the delivery of the state
nent the vast audience paused in
.lmost GREATNESS silence. He was
1t times eloquent, especially so when
ouching upon his affection for his
wife. 1t was the most dramatic eff
'ort ever rendered by prisoner to
/ jury in Fulton county. The State
S introducing testimony to break
he effect of the statement, but the
almost unanimous opinion of the
statement is that it will clear the
lefendanC. The jurymen wept free
y during the delivery.
Later.-Hill was found guilty of
murder and recommended to a SEN
,ence of imprisonment for life.

A WONDERFUL CHILD.

I've read Somewhere about girl
Whose cheeks are rosy red,
While golden traases, cual on curl,
Bedeck her presy head.
Her eyes, Pm teld, are bright and blue,
Her smile is kind and sweet;
The errands she is asked to do
Are done with wiling feet.
IT'S said that when she goes to school
She's Just the sweetest lassl
So quick to mind the slightest rule,
And prompt in evely class.
To girls and boys she's never rude
When all are at their play;
Her ''conduct"-be it Understood
Is perfect every 6ay.
Where lives this child, can not say,
Nor who her parents are,
Although for many weary day
I've sought her near aud far.
If you should ever ses her smile,
As DER the world yp1 rove,
Just hold her little hand awhile,
And give her my best love

A Tennessee High Flyer.

The following proposition from
Tennessee appears in the Phlladel-
phia Record;
see in your paper statement
that Prof. King, the aeronaut, is
preparing for an ocean trip in the
air with balloons. 1 have once
proposed to propel and guide Prof.
Kings balloon at Nashville, Tenn i,
but from some cause he treated the
proposition with silent contempt.
You may state in the Record that l
am unable to get means to put my
flying machine ia operation, and
means alone prevent me from navi-
eating the air successfully. 1 have
my invention patented in the Uni
ted States and Canada. l fully be
lieve that | can cross the briny
deep and explore the North pole,
carry the mail and money matters
from point to point. 1 will say this
to the man or men that will furnish
me the means-say two or three
thousand dollars-to start it. He
or they shall have my patent as col
lateral surety till they are paid 50
for each one they furnish me.
am ready to give any further infor
nation / can on this subject.
l can take Prof. Kings balloon
and cross the ocean, or any balloon
that is sufficient to bear me up
long enough but 1 want my balloon
made more in the shape of cigar,
so 1 can place my machine and sit
ting car under it, and my propell
ing and guiding power on top of it.
This is a principle that is as true
as any other principle; but science
has failed to reach il, and therefore
it is condemned. Once understood,
it is quite simple. 1 can navigate
the air on the bird principle, with
out q balloon; but l cannot carry so
much freight. As soon as | start
the balloon, and get the means, l
viii start the pleasure cars. VIII
you be so kind as to publish this
truth, for good? 7 dare you to test
me. j. j. PENNINGTON.

Printers and Printing.

Many who condescend to illuml-
nate this dark world with the fire
of their genius through the col
umns of newspaper little think OF
the lot of the printer,who sits up at
midnight to correct their false
grammar and photography and
worse punctuation. We have seen
the arguments of lawyers, in high
repute as scholars, sent I'd the prin
ter in their own handwriting. many
words. especially technical and for
eipn abbreviated, word s
misspelled and few or no points,
and these few, if any, certainly in
the wrong places. We have seen
the sermons of eminent 'divines'
sent to the press without points or
capitals to designate the division
of the sentences; also the letters OF
the political and scientific cores
pondents. Suppose all these had
been so printed-the printer would
have been treated with scorn and
contempt. No one would have be-
lIeved that such gross and palpable
faults were owing TO the ignorance
or carelessness of the author; and
no one but the practical printer
knows how many hours the com
positor, and after him the proof
reader, is compelled to spend in re-
dacing to readable condition manu-
script that often writer's themselves
would be puzzled TO read.

The Fourth at Chattanooga.

EDITOR CITIZEN For six weeks
or more past arrangements have
been in progress of completion for
a grand celebration of the 103rd an
niversary of our national indepen
dendence, in this city. The pro-
gram of exercises to celebrate the
day had been extensively published
and all the railroads leading into our
city had agreed to reduce their rates
so as to induce visitors to come and
see what Chattanooga could do when
she "spread herself" The effect of
advertising was fully exemplified,
when on the evening of the 3rd Of
July, strangers from the surround
ing country, from Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, and various por-
tons of our own State, commenced
pouring in upon every train. By
midnight every hotel in town was
crowded to everhowing and the
streets were blockaded with living
stream of human beings, wandering
around, determined, as they could
not obtain lodgings to make "a
night of itP' There was a continu
Gus roar and hum of human voices
heard on all hands which effectually
drove sleep from the eyelids of those
who attempted to seek repose, and
which did not cease the whole of
the night. At about O'Clock on
the morning of the 4th all the bells
In town were rung, all the steam
whistles were set to whisJling, and
to add to the din, salute of artil-
lery was fired by a section of the
Burns Artillery, which came down
from Nashville for the occasion.
Soon the sound of drum and horn
was heard announcing the coming
of the "Horribles'' body of mask
ers on horseback, in wagons and on
foot. gotten up in every conceivable
manner to appear luaicrous or fright

There occurred in the 18th dis
trict last week quite novel legal,
or rather illegal, case of replevy.
AS we have heard some of the his
tory coming from friends of both
parties, we will endeaYor to give a
bit of it. a woman put in to board
with her aunt for a short time, sell
ing to her or putting in pawn to Sc
cure payment a COW. After a brief
portion of the time expired, she
concluded to leave and asked her
bill, and desired to take 'Brindle"
with her. Objections were made
and the COW imprisoned. The for
mer owner went away and secured
some help from some of her male
friends, and with fence rails and the
force of circumstane they under
took to break down the door and
''replevy' the cow. 1t is said the
boys who waited in the bushes to
assist in driving the animal are in
jail; the party who worked at the
door escaped. The niece, under
stand, justifies her act by PLEADING
that she was on slim rations-could
not stay longer and that her board
for the brief stay wasn't worth
more than a moiety of the real value
of the property bargained. The
aunt claimed the cash or its equiv
alent for the time, real time, she
boarded the niece. The judge, ju

case sooner or later. The names

A newspaper and a newspaper
editor that people don't talk about
and sometimes abuse, are rather
poor concerns. The man and bust
ness that an editor sometimes feels
it a duty to defend at the risk OF
making enemies, are often the very
first to show ingratitude. The edi
tor who expects to receive much
charity or gratitude, will soon find
out his mistake, but he should go
on and say and do what he consci
entiously thinks right without re
gard to frowns and smiles.- Talla-

goes to the people, when, if they
are in favor of it, men are sent to
the Parliament to sustain it, and
the queen acquiesces. The use OF
the veto power by Queen Victoria,
however legitimate it may be-she
Las the right to use it-would pre-
clpitate the whole country into a

FATTENING PROPERTIES OF PEAS AND

These articles have been found by chem
zeal analysis, rich in nitrogen. The in
ference has been that they would be spec
tally useful in supporting the waste of the
muscles of animals, and it has been sug-
gested that they would be particularly use
iul in the production of wool. They are
evidently valuable for these purposes, but
not the less valuable for the production Of
fat. Those persons who have used peas
for iattening hogs, consider them worth as
much as Indian corn. lndistricts where that

INTERESTING FACTS.

Why have wells a tendency to promote
sunburn and freckles? Because they in
crease the power of the SUMS light. Why
does flannel covering keep man warm
in winter, and ice from melting in sum-
mer? Because it both prevents the passage
of heat from the man and to the ice. Why
does a person with cold in the head,
catarrh from the eyes and nose, experi
ence more relief on applying to the face a
linen and cambric handkerchief than ore
made of cottonp Because the linen by
conducting power really absorbs the heat
and diminiShes the inflammation, while
the latter, by refusing to give passage to
the heat, in creases the temperature and
