GOING HOME TO GLORY.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Nov. 1O-Samuel
Hodge and his brother, Milton Hodge,
were hanged here to-day for the murder OF
James Mcfarland at Black Oak ridge, near
this city, on the 5th of September last. The
execution took place in an open field in
ravine, half mile from the court house,
in natural amphitheater. There was no
trap or scaffold, simply two upright posts
placed in the ground, with cross beam,
from which ropes were suspended. A
wagon with the two prisoners drove under
the beam. At 1:30 o'clock the ropes we're
adjusted and the wagon was driven away,
and the men were left dangling.
They were choked to death
in about ten minutes. Both the con-
demned chosei this method of meeting
their death. When the prisoners arrived
at the gallows they made speeches lasting
about ten minutes. saying they we're pre-
pared to die and were going home to
glory. They warned others to beware of
their fate. As the black cap was pulled
over Milton Hodges face, he sang in a
strong voice, ''Going Home on De Evenin'
Train" Sam was singing Going Home
to Die no More" when ne was choked by
the rope. The day was beautiful and good
order preserved among the 5000 people
present. The crime for which the
Hodges negroes were hanged was killing
McF Farland because he had ill-treated his
wife, their sister. They had arrested him,
tied his hands, and then Milt. shot him.
BIERsTADT's MANSION DESTROYED.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Bierstadt
place at Irvington. on the Hudson, owned
by Albert Bierstadt, the artist, was de-
stroyed by fire this morning. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but the theory is
that it started in the chimney flues. Henry
1. Chapman, Jr., member of the New
York stock exchange, and his family occu-
pied the mansion during the past season,
and yesterday morning returned to their
home in Brooklyn. Chapman was greatly
astou;shed this forenoon when he received
a dispatch saying the elegant mansion was
in ruins. The building was erected sixteen
years ago at cost @ 100000. A
studio, 75x5e feet, with cell
ing fifty feet high, was situated
in the rear of the second story. All the
rooms were spacious. The interior was
finished in hard wood; large Turkish lugs
&eek he p2ace of carpets; the fugituHe
was costly. Nearly EVERY roeA esatained
from three to ten valuable pictures of IA
nous artists. In the library were two pic
lures of the Yosemite valley. valued at ST.
600 each. The house was filed with many
valuable trophies and cnriosities which
Bierstadt had collected in the Yosemite
valley and elsewhere. So far as known
these valuable relics and furniture are to-
tal1y DESTROYED Tho furnituro was w0rfh
$4,000. The pictures and curiOsities are
estimated as worth nearly 100000 more.

IN making his last will, were made
in the surrogate court to-day. The case
came up on motion for an alimony of
$4,000 for Mary Jane Hoyt, the daughter,
and Mrs. Helen Maria Hoyt, widow of the
testator. The will directed that $1,35O, 600
each for the use of his wife and daughter,
should be set aside by the executors. Ex-
Senator Ccukling, who appeared for the
petitioners, showed in scathing and IRON
ical manner that the executors had acted
in niggardly and insulting manner
toward the two ladies in the way they had
treated them when they asked for portion
of what was due them, merely as interest
on the amount left by the alleged will and
testament. Mr.. Elihu Root, on the
part of the alleged executors, moved
to dismiss the motion on the
ground that it was not known that an al
lowance was necessary for the support of
these ladies. He claimed that the peti-
tioners were not legatees. and that the be-
quests were not legacies. but merely testa-
n,entary trusts. He said that the execu-
tors were ready to make any payments for
the support and maintenance of the peti-
toner when the income derived from the
estate would permit. Immediately after
these proceedings citation was fled in
court by Aaron Kohn, as attorney, and
Roscoe Conkling, as counsel, in behalf of
Miss Hoyt, in which the young lady tells
the story of her incarceration when she
was forced away from the dying bed
of her father. She states that
on the 9th of June she was
placed in an insane asylum at Frankfort,
near Phil 1edelphia, at the instance of A.

held an informal meeting with several
members Of the board of aldermen
at which several matters we're dis
cussed Of vital importance to this city.
Active operations on the line OF these

states that he thinks, beyond a doubt,
that the entire line from New Orleans
to Memphis will be completed in
twelve months from date. An impors
tant subject discussed at the meeting
referred to above, was the location of
depots and machine shops of the road.
Mr.. Wilson stated, if suitable and

that the board of Mayor and Aldermen

IL that country was simply appalling
In its hideousness.
Helping Prisoners" is the object
of a recent organization ofmany phil.
~anthropists OF Chicago. 1t is cen
tended BY these people that many, il
not all, of those falling under the
ban OF the law, could be restored to
responsibility ifa helping hand could
be held out to them in time. No
doubt much of this theory is true.
Let the good work spread to eVerycity

home is to be at once established for
women who abuse the use of alcohol.
The Chicago Times is, beyond.
doubt, one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, newspaper in the world. IL
is owned byWilbw I. Storey, a gentle
man of about sixty two years. Ac-
cording to a late biographer he
is a self-made man OF genuine stamp.
He first saw the light in Sauls-
bury, Vermont. He commenced his
education in a printing Office by learn
ing the art preserYative." Then be
went to New York City and entered
the Journal Of Commerce at $l2 per
week. From that city he came west
to Indiana, whore he sunk his earn
ings in q short-lived Democratic paper.
Then he tried the drug business aud
failed. Then he driited into politics,
got an office, was turned out; then
studied law. Finally, he got the con-
trolling interest in the Detroit Free
Press. In this venture he made
$4,000. With this SUN be came to
Chicago and purchased the Times.
This was in 1861. From that date to
the present his efforts have been
crowned with success, and his $4,000
has accumulated to 81, 100000. Moral
Perseverance, natural ability and a
determination to succeed scarcely
ever fails TO generously reward the
dauntless pioneer. Mr.. Storey is the
perfection of health in appearance.
DR.. ID. DeOlat, an eminent physician
of Paris, was in Chicago lately. Before
an audience of experts in his profession
he declared that most pulmonary, and
other fatal diseases, are the product OF
minute poison Gus animalcular, that
may attack the human anotomy either
by being breathed into the system or
taken IN by means of food. He sail
be could cure this fora of disease by
introducing carbolic or picnic acid
into the blood, lypodermically, or
through the mouth into the stomach.
He advanced the assertion that
President Garield's life could have
been saved by his remedy.
Coal consumed in Chicago during
the year ending amounted to 853, 1863
tons. The cost averaged six dollars.
The recent selfish action of the Hi
nois Republicans, in re-apportioning
the State, may turn out a boomerang
to themselves. Shrewd men OF both
political parties seem to think that
the Republicans will soon regret their
action.

The Supreme Court and the
Shirt Collar.
- - IL

The United States Supreme Court
has recovered from what at one time
seemed an appalling impossibility of
contempt. A few days ago a lawyer
from Kansas was duly presented and
admitted to practice, but after he left
the room it was whispered about that
he had not worn a shirt collar. This
was bad enough, even although he had
called only for the purpose Of obtain
ing the right to plead, but as he had
announced that he would on the next
day appear in a case before the
Court, his attire, or lack OF it, as
sumed a serious aspect. A collar
has come TO be regarded as an in
%dispeuslbls article of wear. Some
African potentates who wear nothing
else are strenuous on the sdhject OF
collars, and there are Southern climes
in which the shirt collar, assisted only
by a pair Of spurs, is said to meet all
requirements OF full dress occasions
If, then, a mar will appear once in
Supreme Court room without a collar
what article of attire may be not leav,
off on his next appearance2 The case
in all its CAVITY, was referred to Mr.
Justice Gray. who, while at the heal

WASHINGTON, May l7.-There was
a bit of significant talk shot into the
dull discussion Of the FIVE per cent
bill in the Senate to-day, which was
not generally noticed. The amend
ment of Mr.. Salisbury was up, and
the supposed interest State agents had
in the passage of the bill had been the
theme. The common sense side of
the matter, which was that any State
or individual had a perfect right to
employ an attorney to explain
before committees, get facts
in Departments and do much that
Senators have not time to do, had
been we'll presented, when Mr.. Bay
ard took the floor, and, after admitting
that the committees OF which he is a
member have been materially aidedby
these agents and attorneys, said he

tically say to the country that any

proceeded to say that he did not be-
lieve any contract with any agent or
attorney who should engage for a fee
or percentage to secure the
passage Of a bill, or I'm
dortake to assist in securing such
passage, would hold 10 court. He was
of the opinion that the contract could
be declared void on grounds of public
policy 1t was a speech against the
lobbyists, with some diplomatic care
not to offend the honorable gentlemen
now looking after interests before
Congress; and, while the theory is
pretty and the moral proper, the fact
remains that it a matter before Con
gress is not well looked after by some
body who has more time and interest
in the matter than either a Senator or
a Representative can have, it is gen
orally neglected and left in a pigeon

A True Blessing.

1t would indeed be a blessing to
poor, weak, nervous, debilitated, suf-
feriug humanity, if druggists would
stop selling the many vile, purgative
pills and cathartic compounds adver-
tised for the cure of liver complaint.
Although they afford temporary relief,
at the same time they weaken the
digestive organs, and compel a cOntin-
ued and increasing use of the same.
Sufferers from dyspepsia and liver
complaint do not need cathartic, but
should use some true medicinal tonic
that ,Sill strengthen the digestive
organs and heal the diseased tissues
of the stomach, liver and bowels.
Such a remedy is Browns Iron Bit
tiers, and it never tails to effect a
permanent cure. If you continue to
live in poor health, and are determined
to die before your time, you have only
yourself to blame.-Courier.
