Charles O'Conor's Recovery.

The remarkable recovery of Charles
O'Conor, the leading lawyer of New York,
after his case had been pronounced hope
less by tho physicians is now recalled. The
New York Star says:
HE was reduced to q skeleton. His
stomach would retain but little food, and
even that could not nourish him, since his
digestive powers were weakened by the
medicines which had been administrators d
that they refused to digest it and pass it in
to the blood. His doctors, who were among
the most eminent in their profession, de-
clared that there was no hope for him, AS
q last tribute of respect to his mental pow
ers, he was told the dreadful fact that his
hours on earth were numbered. Being as
sured that the physicians could do no more
for him, he cautiously dismissed them, and
decided to make his last struggle for lie by
himself. He declined to take any medicines
but sent for such food and drink which his
system or his palate craved. Since tho doc
tors had informed the nurses that nothing
could now injure the doomed man. all his
desires were promptly gratifed. His obitu-
ries were in type at all the newspaper Of
fees. The sorrowing public waited for his
last statesman like utterances. Day after
day, it was felt that his death was post
poned till the next night or the next morn
ing. At length, suspense was succeeded
by ;ncredulity, and increduility by delight.
Charles O'Connor, was not dead--he was
not going to die-he was steadily recover
ing"
Mr.. O'Connor entirely recovered and now
at an advanced age, is enjoying life at Nan
tucket, Mass.

Starting a Dramatic Epidemic

Little did Miss Anderson think, when
she started out from Louisville on her pro-
fessi onal life, that she was dealing destruc-

Her success has started dramatic epi-
demic in that hitherto happy town, and,
according to western exchange, every
female in Louisville has assumed the tall

dreds OF residences have been transformed
into amateur playhouses, where would be

jestically across imaginary stages to the
imaginary music of imaginary orchestras
and bursts Of imaginary applause amid

"Till death us part /"
So speaks the heart,
When each to each repeats the words of doom;
Thro' blessing and thro' curse,
For better ard for worse,
We WI be one till that dread hour shall
come.
Life, with it's myriad grasp,
Our yearning soul shall clasp,
by ceaseless love, and still expectant wonder;
In bonds that shall endure,
Indissolubly sure
'TiN God in death shall part our paths asun-
der.
Till death us join,
o voice yet more divine!
That to the broken heart breathes hope sub
lime;
Thro' lonely hours
And shatterd powers
I'VE still are one, despite Of change and time.
Death with his healing hand,
Shall once more knit the band
Which needs but that one link which none may
sever;
Till tro' the Only Good,
Heard, felt and und rs:ood.
Our life in God shall make us one forever

AsMrM- G. Ware was driving

AS MT. w. O. w arc was UflNluS
into town last Saturday night he met
a negro just on Pigeon roost bridge,
near Mr.. Pullen's. The negro had
lighted candle protected from the
wind by his coat and just as he met
Mr.. Ware he drew it out suddenly,
perhaps to see who Mr.. Ware was,
and it frightened his horse and
made it jump off the bridge, about
ten feet high, into the edge Of the
creek. or course Mr.. Ware and
the machine wagon followed, and
they were all piled upon the ground
together. The horse was only
famed little, but the harness had
to be cut to pieces TO got him out.
The wagon was broken slightly and
Mr. Ware unhurt. 1t was a re
markable escape from severe inju
ry all round. AS soon as the negro
saw what havoc be bad wrought he
started upon a run, and if he has
stopped yet he hasn't sent word
back. Mr.. Ware got the assistance
of persons living near and was soon
patched up and in town. If he can
find the negro he will present him
with fine lantern,

The Concert.

The concert last Friday evening
at Antoinette Hall for the benefit of
the Cumberland church was q pleas
inc affair and was enjoyed by Il
very large audience. A Pulaski
audience is not very frequently en-
tertained with such exquisite and
artistic music as was rendered upon
that occasion. We would be war
ranted in saying that among both
ladies and gentlemen who were up
on the program there are voices
which in compass, tone apd cult
walton would excite the envy of
many a prima donna of distinction.
The program published last week
was rendered almost exactly, so
that is is useless to repeat it here,
and only necessary TO say that it
was executed admirably. The tab
leaux were very pretty indeed and
the character songs were well exc
cuted. The ladies may congratu-
late themselves that their efforts
were more than successful in pleas
ing-a fact well attested by the EN-
CORE that greeted every performanc.
The concert was also n success in a
financial way, realizing quite hand
some sum for the church.

A Wrong Impression.

We were shown a letter written
by a northern man to Maj. L. NJ.
N. Jones the other day in which
the writer, a sensible man, said
that it was his belief and the gen.
eral impression at the north that
northern men were not wanted in
the south and would suffer violence
if they came, in the destruction of
their property, if not personal inju.
ry. We are not surprised to hear
it, for it has been busily charged
upon us by slanderous and design
ing men. 1t is so far from truth
that cur people cannot realize that
northern men can believe it and
hence they take little trouble to re
flute it. This article will probably
fall under the eye of the gentleman
who wrote the letter and we wish
to be explicit and thoroughly I'M
derstood in saying that well-be
haFed nOrthern man Is welcome
here and will be treated for what he
is worth as fully and as freely as he
would be in moving into another
northern community. His rights
will be protected here as fully as at
the north and he will command all
the respect and consideration his
merits entitle him to and ne re-
ceiVed into society as cordially and
honestly as he will anywhere upon
the face of the earth. His proper
ty will be protected by good laws
which a law-abiding people are
jealous in maintaining, and his per
son will be safe from violence and
insult. These are truths that will
be verified by hundreds of northern
men now here and the CITIZEN
would be seconded by seven thou
sands voters in Giles county in
guaranteeing to a northern man ev-
cry right and immunity and free
dom of thought, opinion and eX-
precision as fully as we claim them
for ourselves, as long as he keeps
within the pale, of law and propri-
ETY.. In short, any charge that diff
fers from this and places society
and law and order here below the
level that is maintained at the north
is slanderous and untrue. Will the
gentleman take this as a refutation
and will he take it upon himself to
correct the wrongful Impressions
We want good men from everywhere
TO come into n law-abiding state
which the census reports show to be
the second southern state, and into
a county which the records show TO
be among the richest and most
productive Of all the counties in the
state.

Grand Jury Raport.

The grand jury report last week
has the following facts and recon-
mendations in regard to the jail;
We have visited the county Jail
and found the officers courteous
and humane to the prisoners and at
tentIve to business. The food for
the prisoners is we'll cooked, whole
some and plentiful. There at pres
ent thirty prisoners in Jail, three Of
whom are white and one colored fe-
male, with only ten small cells in
which to confine them, making an
average of three persons to the cell
and with bare room to lie down.
Two of these prisoners are crazy and
unruly and should be sent to the lu
matte asylum. One of them having
broken open the dungeon door at
the poor house was brought here
for safe keeping and to prevent the
destruction of life and property at
the poor house. While the jsilor
has used every precautiOn necessary
to promote health and cleanliness
among the prisoners, owing to the
crowded condition OF the cells it is
almost impossible to keep the Jail
clean and in a healthy condition.
New covers for the stools in the
closets should be provided at once
in place of The worn out ones now
there. 1t is a disgrace to the county
to confine prisoners here to await
trial, in one common hall, white and
black, male and female, where the
latter are compelled to listen to the
vilest language of the worst crimi-
nails and lunatIcs in the land. We
therefore suggest that another room
with cells suitable for female prison
ers be built on the south or east
side of the Jail. and recommend that
it be built at once, if the county is
able to make the appropriation.
Such a room could be used for the
work house hands when no female
prisoners are in it.

The oyster supper given by the
ladies of the Presbyterian church
Tuesday night a. the New York

the weather was impQderately bad.
Yesterday they also served dinner
to a large number, realizing from
both quite a handsome sum for the
church. Their counters were orna
mented with beautiful and useful
articles for christmas presents, some
of them bought for the occasion,
but a large proportion represented
the artistic handiw0rk Of some of
the ladies themselves and were eX-
duisite in design and varied in their
uses. The bazar and tables were
served by the ladies themselves, and
of course they were successfully and
pleasantly attended to. Several
very handsomely ornamentcd cakes
were upon the sale counter and
several elegantly dressed dolls, and
they sold we'll There were articles
ON exhibition made by the ladies,
whom it would be unfair to person
ate, that would compare in artistic
execution with the fanciest imported
goods of like quality and were real
works of art. The ladies have
shown great seal in the manner in
which they have prosecuted the work
and thes more than deserve the
liberal patronage which on account
Of the weather was necessarily cur
tailed.
