At Wise's request he was allowed
to visit the cells OF all the ether pris-
Oners in Jail, and babe them good bye,
and impressed upon them the neces-
sity of leading honest and virtuous
lives. At Ills Sheriff Grill stepped
upon the platform and adjusted the
nooses, while deputies bound them
hand and foot, and placed over
their heads white muslin caps.
Both Brandt and Humel were
asked if they had anything to say and
replied in the negative. The three
men knelt on the platform Of the trap
and engaged in prayer, while Rev. Mr..
Shantz read an appropriate passage
from the scriptures. All persons hav-
ing withdrawn from the scaffold,
Sheriff Grill sprung the trap at exact

able in Hurmel's knees. The death Of
three men followed the fall. At

COLUMBUS, GA, May 13.-A negro
drowned the baby Of his paramour in
a street ci9tern and disappeared, since
which he has been hiding in the lat
tice work of the Western railroad
bridge over the river. His mother
told the officers of his place of con-
cealment. They appeared at either
end of the bridge and demanded his
surrender. The fugitive leaped forty
feet into the river, and, though unin-
jured by the jump, he sought deeper
water and drowned himself.

GRANT has lost ground of late rela-
lively, or rather he has ceased to gain
ground as fast as usual; but he is a
stubborn man, has active, persistent
friends, and it is not likely that he
will withdraw previous to the Chica-
60 convention. The opposition which
has sprung up against him in his own
party will only serve 10 make him
more determined. tits evident now
that he came home from Mexico too
soon.

NORTHERN "BUIIDozING.r

The following order was issued by
the great dry goods house of .. b.
FarTell e. Co., Of Chicago, on the day
before tie late republican primary
elections. "All our employees are re-
uuested to attend the polls tomorrow
afternoon from to Z, and vote and
work against the third term.
G. B. FARwELL." "
This includes democrats as well as
repn blicans, aud it is request which
very lew employees of great estab-
lishment like Farwell's could afford
to disregard. Many of them are mar
ried men who are barely providing
the necessities Of life for their fami
lies. The republicans prate a great
deal about liberty, and the right Of all
men to vote as they please. The su-
preme court of Maine recently an
nounced, for a partizan purpose, that
every citizen has right to cast one
free. untrammelled vote, and to have
IL counted. They preach one way and
prsetice another. Farwell is a rich
man. employing thousands of people.
They are treated as so many slaves
They are told to rally around the polls
at a primary election, and work for a
political purpose-aRder such thral'
dom they cannot veil refuse, The
