GUITEAU'S EXECUTIONER.

Nobody knows who is to be the ex-
ecutioner of Guiteau or, Mt least, If any,
body knows il is only that person him.

us q photograph of the man who will
hang Guiteau," telegraph the editors
to their correspondents here. No one
knows who the hangman is to be. His
identity has been we'll concealed, and
! will always remain a sealed book.
The gallows is so situated at the far
Their end of the northeast corridor that
its platform is on a level with a row of
coils. Into one of these runs the cord
that connects with the bolt of the trap
door in the scaffold. When tho last
prayer has been said, and the black
cap tied on the condemned mans head,
and the moose adjusted, Warden Crock
er, standing on the gallows, makes the
preconcerted signal with his handker-
chief, an unseen hand pulls the cord,
and the victim of the law Is hanging
in mid-air.
Many an execution has taken place
in the Jail, but to this day only two
people know who was the lonely occu-
pant of that particular cell, the man
who, after all, occupied the most i'm.
portant place. The Jail guards do not
know, or if they know they have
kept the secret well. The two persons
are Warden Croker himself and the
man who does his bidding.

Indians whom we found, to our sur

Houston remained as the household

named Tyenia Rogers. She was as
stately for a woman as he was for q
man. He removed to the west bank
of Grand River, opposite Fort Gibson,
where, in the delta of the Grand, the
Arkansas, and the Verdigris, he'made
small clearing in the rich bottom
land, which still forms part of a small
] Cherokee farm, and has log house
upon it, although probably not the one
built by the hands of Houston. Here
he lived for two years or more. He
was a frequent visitor to the military
post of Fort Gibson, and generous
consumer of the suffers whisky. His

the street in the stupor Of drunkenness.
This life of savagery and drunkenness
finally palled upon the nobler elements

Cherokees, and joined the fortunes of

Rev. J. A. Hackett.

The Shreveport (La) Standard of the Sth
instant contains on account of the dedica-
ton of the new Baptist church in that city,
on Sunday the ID inst. As this church is
under the pastoral care of Rev. J. a.
Hackett, formerly pastor of the church in
this city, we are confident that his many
friends in this vicinity will be interested in
the following from the Standard:
"The service held at the dedication of the
new Baptist church in this city on last Sun
day morning I'D inst.) created intense in
terest. No occasion, during residence Of
more than sixteen years here, in our expert
ence has called forth larger or more in
telIigent audience. The seats of the
capacious church, which contains a seating
capacity of $50, were filled, besides $50
chairs which were placed in the aisles and
other vacant places were all taken; besides
this, every available space of standing room
was occupied by spectators. The total at
tendance was not less than 500"
We understand that this is one of the
finest church buildings in louisiana, out
side of New Orleans, costing between 49,
900 and $2000O and we congratulate the
worthy pastor and his good people upon
its completion and dedication,

THE KEMPER HORROR.
The Outrage On, and Murder of, Mrs.
Callie Henson.
THE BRUTE LYNCHED .


Meridian Observer
We have some further particulars of the
late horrible crime in Kemper county and
the subsequent lynching of the murderer,
obtained from parties who reside in the
vicinity of the occurrence. Mr.. Aeck
Henson was married last December to Miss
Callie Echols, who was but II years of age
and the daughter of Osborne Echols, a
substantial farmer of Neshoba county. AT
ter marriage he settled on farm in Kemper
county, near the Neshoba line. On Thurs
day morning he left home early, taking his
dinner with him, to plough on his farm,
about ii mile and a half from his residence
He returned late, and could see nothing of
his VIZ. He called her but with no re-
sponsN, and finally, supposing she had gone
to a neighbours, started to look for her. ga
negro named George Hughes, who was a
tenant on HensOn's farm, and lived with his
family in cabin few hundred yards from
the house, came up to assist in the search,
and as Henson was going off, told him to
look in the well, that she might be there.
The negro took pole, put it in the we'll and
cried out he had found her body. The
well was eight or ten feet deep and full
of water. Assistance was obtained and
VIC NCtlO DUNy VI A4Ios 11CuoOu WAS taken
from the we'll. 1t was seen from examina-
ton of the body that she was first murdered
and then thrown in the we'll. Her hair was
dshevelled and there were marks of vio-
leuce on her throat-the imprint of fingers
by which she had been strangled The right
ear was bitten nearly off, and the impression
made by four human teeth was clearly seen.
An inquest was held on the body Friday
morning before Isaac Dawes, Justice of the
Peace, and after hearing all the testimony,
there was no doubt that she came to her
death from violence. Suspicion was direct
ed towards the negro Hughes and he was
arrested. The fact that he suggested she
might have fallen into the well, his presence
on the place after Mr.. Henson left, the marks
of'violence, and many other circumstances
pointed to his guilt. Among them was the
fact that he had changed his clothes
on Thursday, and when an effort was
made to examine them it appears they had
been washed by his wife. He had an exam
ination before Esquire Dawes, which was
not concluded until late Friday evening
He was ordered to be committed to Jail, and
Constable William Smith started with him
to DeKalb, intending to take him there
that night. ~About halfa mile from where
the trial was held, crowd of about rs per-
sons took the prisoner from the officer and
he was at once hung.

FASHION NOTES.
New York Evening Post. I

New York Evening Post.
/ The combinations of black and white. in
vogue twenty years ago, are revived.
The Hamburg embroideries, which have
for so long adorned the dresses of little
children, are giving place in a great degree
/ to Carrackmacross, Venetian trimmings,
and the firm. well-wearing Mediei laces of
Irish linen.
| Long corsetS are now almost universally
worn. and over the hips of the more expen-
sive kinds are set narrow V-shaped pieces
of India-rubber webbing, which, though
fitting the form perfectly, give it uneom-
mon ease. These corsets are necessary,
now that the outlines of the form are made
so conspicuous by the sharp pointed corsage
and scantily draped cuirass bodice.
BustIes are worn quite little below the
waist-line in the back, and do not reach
over the hips as in the past, the bouffant
effect here being produced entirely by the
pannier-draperies, to which are added huge
sashes of MORE satin, or silk, which are
draped and tied above the low-set hustle,
the ends falling very often to the foot of the
skirt in the back.
There is again a great demand for striped
goods, the fashion for these having been
started by Worth last Winter, as shown in
the magnificent effects in satin and plush
velvet and MORE and the like, which OBJ
tanned such wide favor. Among the patterns
imported for the present season are very
beautiful stripes of Pekin or satin duchesse
with rich Roman or Oriental stripes about
two inches wide; others of satin and faille
in solid colors with stripes of MORE in
contrasting colors.
The Langtry bonnet already appears this
side of the Atlantic. though hardly six
weeks in London. The small, shallow shape,
with high front allowing a band wreath OF
full-blown roses above the forehead, is the
shape worn by Mrs. Langtry on the stage
as Miss Hardcastle, in the play "She Stops
to Conquer" 1t is not unbecoming, but
after the bonnets which were all crowns,
this, which is all brim, looks as if the back
had been neatly shaved off in an accident.
The divided skirt, the clever invention of
Lady Harberton. 1t is nothing more or
less than modification of the much-abused
Bloomer skirt, and consists in pair fwide,
sailor like trousers, trimmed with killing as
the usual underskirts of women are
trimmed, with slightly-looped polonaise or
princessee dress over them When
wearer of this garment is standing quite
still no observer would be able to distin-
guish the divided skirt from any other but
in walking the bifurcation is observed
slightly. It's possible this idea may receive
further and more adjoining development,
and even at present the divided skirt must
prove of great value to mOuntain-climbers,
to tennis-pIayers, to tricyclsts, and to
women on all occasions when requiring a
dress for active service.

bled visibly, and finally swoored, and would
have fallen to the floor but for the support

being of a strictly private character there
were but few who witnessed the remarkable
scene. This took place at CLOCK. The
ceremony was deferred until the minister
recovered, which happened about 8 o'clock,
when the anxious pair were united. The
singular circumstance attending the mar

not wanting some who trace relation be-
