An I.ssne wsmsn xrrsstea.

AT the police court last evening, Mrs
Walbsrg was arrsigned On the charge
Of throwing brick bats and clam shells
at her neighbors. henry Schneider
the first witness called, testified to the
defendant constantly throwing bricks
and clam shells through the window
panes of his house. Yesterday morn.
isg as witness was hanging his bird
cage in the yard, the defendant threw
large piece Of wood at him. Witness
said that he had never done any thing
to cause the woman to act 20.
Mrs. Walberg is suffering from metal
alteration and as the witness was
giving in his testimony, she kept con.
stantly saying "that witness is a man
killer" She asked him 'if he was
not the man who came to her house to
kill her boy with wild beast 7" This
question was Of course not answered.
Patrick McIlheney testified to the
woman being nuisance in the neigh
borhood; witness considered her dan
gerous woman. Ofices, Robiuson who
arrested her testified to witnessing the
woman throwing briokbats and clam
shells in the neighbors yard. On ar
resting her she used very bad language.
Speaking of several witnesses the de-
fendant said that it was not four years
and several months since these men kill
ed my family, these men she said will
go crawling into my house and kill my
poor orphans. His Honor ordered the
woman to be placed under proper care
until her case can be inquired into.

THE CHISHOLM MASSACRE.

N
! Which Prompted tho Blood
Deed.
WASHINGTON, August 19.-Mrs. Chis
holm will start tomorrow for Mississir
pi to attend the trial of the assassins q
her husband and children. She vii
be escorted from Harrisburg, Pa, b,
her surviving son and Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford.
In General Woodford's letter to Mrs
Chisolm Offering his services, he said
II am glad that you have the nerv,
and fidelity to highest duty to do this
If we claim protection by law, We ough
to accept all obligations that such claim
imposes"
In a recent letter to Mrs. Chisolm OF
the subject of the trial, Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney H. R. Ware, Of the South
ern District Of Mississippi, who is ma
tive Of that State, said: "Do what yor
can to got other counsel; but there shal
be one man who does not falter to do tn,
duty of a man in this shameless affair
As to your fears that my life may pay
the forfeit of my action in this prosecu
tiou, think nothing of this. Life to M
in the past has had too many danger
ous ordeals to quail now before the hate
and. threats Of this band Of bad men.
A Republican who proposes to be a man
in the South cannot afford to fear any
thing. He must have both moral and
physical courage, fixed and unwavering,
or he will soon be brow beaten into a
craven.
The report that Congressman Money
and other prominent Democrats have
su bscribed money to pay the expenses
of defending the Chisholm assassins
has been denied. When the circum-
stances which led to the massacre are
remembered it seems no more than Just
that the reported contributions should
be made. Senator Lamar, in a speech
made at Scoba, Kemper County, in the
campaign of 1876, said, as reported to
Mr.. Chisholm by q friend who heard
The speech:
"This man Chisholm do not person
lilly know, but am told he is one of the
most suave OF gentlemen, winning and
gentle in his manners, kind and char
table, one who never turns his back on
sorrow, and from whom the widow and
The orphan never 60 away with empty
hands. So much the more need to bs
rid Of him. So much the more harm
,an he do" Such language as this
led to the Chisholm massacre. It.
proved bloodier than was expected,
md it is said that Senator Lamar,
whose speech was praised in the Demo-
,ratic papers of that vicinity, now de-
lies that he ever made the speech or
'ver heard of Chisholm until he was
lead. And yet Mr.. Chisholm was a |
'andidate for Congress against Mr..
Money in tho district where Senator
lamar was making stump speeches.
During the same campaign, Thomas
J. Gathright, prominent politician of
dississippi, said in one of his speeches
If you ever expect to have peace and
harmony in your county, you must get
i'd Of this man. Twill not undertake
0 tell you how to get rid of him; that
'ou know as we'll as I but you must
ct rid of him." Then he is said to
ave exhibited pantomime with his
and suggestive of hanging.

Jefferson Davis again Can dfd.s.-
A prominent Southern politician vbo
is familiar with Mississippi affairs said
Yesterday at Washington that he
thinks there is little doubt of the re~
turn of .!'tferson Davis to the Unitsd
States Senate from that State, Ha
thinks that no other candidate will
stand any chance if Davis is q candi-
date, "because," said he, "nearly ev-
cry man will vote for him" .
The gentleman mentioned fnrtbar
gave it as his opinion that had it NOT
been for persecution" after the war.
Mr.. Davis would have sunk into obscn.
rity, and would have been remembarsd
by the Southern people only to be exc.
Grated.
Major Barksdale chairman of tho
Mississippi Democratic State COMMITTEES.
is leading candidate for the United
States Senate. He lately made a speech
at Waynesboro, Miss. A lurid cores
pondent of "The Meridian Mercury,
describes that part OF the speech which
referred to the other candidates as fol-
lows:
He spoke in eulogistic terms of his
for the United States Seua-
torsbip, the gallant General WalthalI.
and the faithful and able Colonel Sin
gleton, winding up his beautiful re-
marks about them by pathetic and
tribute to Mississippi's great
and peerless favorite, jefferson Davis.
This brought out loud, hearty and
unanimous cheer that thrilled the OMEN
heavens above.
During his eloquent remarks about
the South's vicarious sniffer, I could
not help thinking of Shakespeare's re-
marks about Caesar, "that he was the
greatest man of this world" Major
declared that if Mr.. Davis
should be a candidate he would with
lraw as against him. This sentiment
vas also applauded.

Tho Watch Case.

Aarchie Riley who has been confined
in the cells for week or more was
given hearing at the police court
last evening, on the charge Of the lar
ceny Of a watch from man by the
name Of VIM. Campbell. The frs.
witness called was Mr.. Campbell who
stated that he had very little TO say in
the case. In the first place he said
that he did not make any charge be-
cause he could not prove anything
Witness lost his watch but did not
know where or how. He said he had a
faint remembrance Of something "like
a passing dream"of seeing Archie Riley
in crowd with some Of the members
who had stepped him at Fourth and Mar
ket street last Saturday week, and asked
for chew Of tobacco. At the time
witness said be was sorry to say that
he was excited and stupifed by drink
ing. Witness could not say that he
had his watch with him at the time he
met the crowd on Fourth street. The
watch had not been returned and wit
ness said that no promises were made
to return the watch If ne did not prose-
cute the case. Mr.. Campbell disliksd
the idea Of appearing in the case and
said that he was brought to the police
court before an Indifferent, tantalizing
or perhaps unsympathstic crowd. Two
other witnesses were examined but the
evidence not Icing sufficient to warrant
His Honor in holding the prisoner to
court, the case was dismissed.

BENEFIT OF WALKING.-Every
muscle in the body is greatly and uni
formly brought into action by the
swing of the legs and arms, and, con-
sequently of the trunk in vertic"
direction. The undulations made by
the head, chest and abdomen, in q
vertical plane, are thus not only &C.
cording to Hogarth's line OF beauty
but also in that tending to perfect the
health. Every internal organ is gent
" stimulated to more robust action
Never in common walk doe!
n person breathe twice the same air
because he is constantly changing hi
position. This fact alone is of uncal'
culable advantage. Some writers con
tended that the rebrealhing of al

most favorable time for walking L
about midday in the winter, and II
