THE MAN WHO LIVED ON.

Riding along the highway between
Eufaula and Union Springs | came
upon native Alabamian seated on log
by the roadside. He was perfect pic
turs of all "broke up" He looked sick,
his clothes we're ragged, and he was bare=
footed. May because he had no boots to
wear. He looked up in weary way as |
halted, and when / asked about his oondi.
ton he shook his head and replied;
"Dop't bother me, stranger-Pm clean
gin out"
"Whats the trouble"
"Oh, everything-evarything. I've
had sickness and losses and lawsuits
and tribulations till my sand is gone. |
came out here to die by myself, and I'm
expecting every minute to hear the toot
of the horn"
"Thats too bad"
"Yes, it's too bad. The old woman she'll
have to peg along alone, and the children
will have to peg along or star7e, and some
other man will whollop my old mule and
dick my dog. It's bad, bad, but I've got
to 90. They'll find my dead body out
here and plant it in some swamp and
that'll be the last of me"
"Can't l help you in any way?"
"Stranger, are ye blufhngT
"No.n
"Really mean itY"
"Of course
"Then put yer hand right thar an

"HaVe plug Of tobacco ?"
"Will I?h Will drowning man hol

He took the plug and tore away quar-

"And here's some brandy which Garry
to use in the water down here. Won

"Won't /? Stranger that's too good

He took the flask and pulled away un
til half the contents had disappeard, anC
as he handed it back his eyes began tt
shine, his hair pushed his old hat off, and
he cracked his heels together and ex
claimed:

MURDER WILL OUp.

BRookvILLE, ONT, August 28.-A man
who gives his name as James McGinnis,
aged forty-seven, delivered himself to the
policie to day. He says five years ago,
while waiter at the Grcsvenor hotel, Lon
don, Eng, he, in company with two 9th
ers whom he did not know, murdered
three men. also unknown. He was
induced to do so through fears for his
own life. He came from Canada a few
days ago by the steamer Lake Winnepeg.
The crime preyed on his mind so that he
could neither sleep nor eat, and decided to
surrender to the authorities. He has been
committed to Jail, ard inquiries will be at
once made to ascertain the truth of the
statements.

MARKED BY LIGHTNING.

Miss Della Moncrieff, of Boston, an ele-
cutionist, has experienced something re-
markable with a lightning bolt. She is
visiting in North birmingham, and, while
a heavy thunder shower was passing, was
sitting with others on the piazza of Post
master Williams house, which was struck
by. lightning. She felt no shock, but
now finds that on her back is burned
or stamped by lightning q perfect repre-
sentation of the large elm tree which
stando within few feet of Mr.. Williams
piazza, and very near which she was sit
ting at The time. Two children Ct the
family were affected by the same belt, and
one Of them was rendered senselesc. The
tree was not injured at all-BOstcn Her

There is a class of men, both white and
black, who, if they had any pride in them,
this instance of what a woman can do
would cause them to 90 to work instead
of lying around groceries, country stores,
various places of business houses in town
and other places where they are not
wanted, smoking an old pipe the odor Of
which would puke skunk, when they
should be at work. There is no reason
in the world why every man in the county
should not have as good crop as Miss
Creamer, except cussed laziness.

A GOOD WORKER.

The young girl spoken of by the Eel

VII prUDaDiy i've above want all her days:
There is a young white girl on Mrs.
ThrelkedPs plantation in this county, who
has twenty-five acres planted in corn
and seven in cotton, and will make forty
bushels of corn to the acre, and bale of
cotton TO the same amount of land. She did
all the plowing and has attended to her
crop without assistance so far. Our au-
thority for this is Mr., VIM. McGrew, a
well known planter Of this county, and he
has often seen her work in the field in a
manner that would put to shame a good

THE HORRORS OF WAR.

Chaplain Morrison of the flagship Ian
caster, has written long letter home of
his experiences after the bombardment
of Alexandria. "When | went on shore,"
he says, II had to pick my way along the
mass of ruins. Fallen houses completely
blocked up many of the streets. Fire was
all around us. The crash of burning
houses was constantly heard. Dead bod
les were lying uncovered in the streets,
all swollen and putrid. / saw dogs feed
ing on the hideous corpses. Walking
All souare-the finest part of the city
all we saw was mass of ruins on every
side---fre fends had done their work
thoroughly. could not rsalize before
what It was for city to be given up to
the pillage of licentious soldiery, and
abandoned to the rage of an infuriated
mob. At our headquarters | saw num-
ber of women who had been rescued by
our men the night before. Some of them
had only saved their lives by remaining
many hours in the water under bath
houses when driven from their burning
homes. One poor woman had been stabbed
entirely through the thigh when the rob-
bers were pillaging her house. Our men
have been working gallantly in saving
and guarding property, putting out fires,
arresting thieves and aiding the English
in patrolling the city night and day. We
have one of the very worst sections IN
charge. Several times our men have fired
at robbers and those setting fresh fires.
For the first day or two that our men
were ashore they worked in burying the
offensive corpSes that were lying around
They would impress the idle natives who
were standing around and compel them to
help in this work. l saw them drag sew
eral bodies into great hole that was
blown up in the square, and cover them
over with earth. In one place they found
30 bodies piled up in the street. I have
been all through the city within the past
few days, alone or with party of Off
GERS, running to help put out freshly
started fire, driving from one end of the
town to the other, wandering among the
smoking ruins, going through elegant
houses with the furniture smashed to
pieces. | saw a bank with great doors
| hacked through to the iron bolts. just in
side there was strong barricade of sand
bags. 1t was defended by party Of
Montenegrins, who are desperate fellows,
and they had driven off an immense crowd
of assailants. 1t is said that they killed
very many. We stepped inside and saw
the safes unharmed and piles of silver
ware lying within the iron bars. 1t is
sad to see the refugees returning to their
desolated and ruined hornes. Many who
were we'll of a few days ago have lost
their all and are actually reduced to want,
And yet there is lndicrouS side as well.
1t is really amusing to see all of the ma,
tives carrying white rag or a piece of
white paper in the hand or tied 30 stick,
on the whips of the cabmen, futtering
stuck in the bride of the donkeys,
over the doors, on the fruit stands and ev-
where that you go, as though to say: 81

Next Apportionmenf, A

The coming Legislature in making
the new apportionment of Representa-
tive, Senatorial and Congressional dis
tricts in this State will have a number
of questions to study and consider.
For instance, the population of some
counties will be found not as great
ao,o as they were ten years ago, and
consequently their representation will
have to be decreased, while others will
have to be increased. In looking over
the vote polled for Governor at the late
election we notice, for instance, that
the whole vote of Venango county
foots up but 6547, while that of Butler
county foots up 1896, or l349 more in
Butler than in Venango county; yet
Venango has three members in the
Legislature while Butler has but two.
Ten years ago Venango, by reason of
oil business, had q greater population
than now, and the decrease of that
business has decreased her population.
This is but one feature that will have
to be considered in making the new
districts.

"UNcLE JAcoB,n of the Herald, gets
off, in his issue last week, about the
most amusing thing of the late CAM
paign. He brings out his rooster and
crows over his own election to the As
sembly. This vas excusable on his
part, when we consider all the circum-
stances.
By the way he appears to be making
good headway toward being chosen
Speaker of the next House by his Demo-
cratic friends. Other members elected in
different parts of the State are being
urged, but the names of none of them
take like that of "Uncle Jake" The
Titusville Herald is wasting its energies
for the position upon man named Nc
Crum, of that city, who appears to
have been elected to the House. But
it is all of no use As our Titusville
cotemporary and friend was clever
enough, however, to refer favorably to
our remarks in favor of our townsman,
we give it the benefit of its argument
in favor of its candidate, McCrum, re-
marking, however. that we have no
recollection of representing our candi-
date to be of the great age that the be-
low would seem to imply; but if we
did, we stick to it. and say, "The older
the better" But this is what our
Titusville friend has to say:
1.-The reason we prefer McCrum to
Uncle Jake is to convince the House
how much better McCrum understands
and can apply the Ziegler Manual than
| the author himself.
The Butler CITIZEN lays great stress
| upon the fact that "Uncle Jake" was
contemporary of Andrew Jackson and
Thomas Jefferson, and the early Faith
ers Of the Republic. But the party
has just seen fit to apply the Statute
OF limitation" to Tilden, Seymour, and
the rest of Uncle Jake's playmates and
cronies, from lSO0-1847, and why
should be complain 2"

THE organization of the next State
Senate, being Republican, may be the
point of difficulty to pass for the party
In this State. But we are in favor of
union and harmony. The next ap-
portionment of the State into Con-
gressioDal, Senatorial, etc. districts, it
is true is an important matter, and the
committees to be appointed by the re-
spective branches of the Legislature to
take charge of that work should be fair
ones. From the party construction Of
the two Houses this will have to be
done. And nothing can prevent fair
aid honest apportionment unless it be
combination of the Cameron and
Wallace interests, as is feared by some.
If this should be attempted, then defeat
of their schemes would be justi6able.
L t the presiding officer of tie Senate,
to be chosen by that body, and the
committees on the apportionment he
may have to appoint, be fair ones as
regards the two wings of the party,
and we do not see at present that any
difficulty can arise.

Volume No. 80.

Last week commenced new Volume
of the CITIZEN, being No. of volume
30. The paper is, therefore, entering
upon its twentieth year; and it will be
fourteen years by next spring since we
have been editing it. We had intend
ed to refer to this fact last week, in the
hope that it might attract the notice of
some W ho are nearly half that time be-
hind in their subscription accounts.
Others are back three, four and five
years. AS it il now commencing q
new volume, and as this is the time of
year in which papers are generally
taken for winter use, or back accounts
squared up with those already taken,
we would ask all who know themselves
indebted to forward their amounts due.
To those out OF this and in other
States, to whom the CITIZEN continues
to go, we would particularly direct this
notice. We are sending it into almost
every Western State; into one State,
Kansas, we send quite a number OF
copies, and our distant friends, general
ly old Butler county people, are as q
rule prompt in letting US hear from
them once year. But some are for
getting this matter. viii they let US
hear from them before the first of
January coming?
We intend enlarging the CITIZEN
soon and otherwise improving it.

THERE were some Republicans at

that they leaned little over and voted
crooked on the county ticket, thus de-
feating Mr.. Braham for the Assembly.
Some of these men are looking for an

In our experience IN politics, 5l2
votes is large number for any man
or any cause to obtain in county the
population ofthis, when the man or
the cause has to contend against old
organized party machinery ard party
money. In fact it is only good cause
that would enable any man to get. that
large number of votes, under such cir
cumstanecs. The large Independent
Republican vote, 5l2, on the State
ticket in this county, can only be ac-
counted for on the above ground. !.
