NOT A MATTER OF FEELING
OE SENTIMENT, But OF
FACT.

Some of our exchanges are dis
cussfng the propriety of the whip
ping pest, in view of the prevalence
of the crime Of larceny. We have
long been convinced that this is the
only effective remedy. The penalty,
as now provided by law, has been,
and is still, being enforced to its
utmost extent, at each session Of
the Courts. The cells of the Jails
and Penitentiary are being crowded
with conYicts, without apparent di-
minution in the number annually
sent forward, and it is not unfre-
quent, that the criminal is COM
mitted for a second or third term.
The Greenville Meas remarks cor
rectly, that imprisonment has been
used as punishment. because it is
a punishment, to men with sense
of shame and longing for liberty;
but to man without a sense Of
shame, a term of few days or a
few months in Jail, is no punish
ment at all" We have heard par
ties speak of the satisfaction they
experienced in prison; it is an In
disputable fact that crimes are COM
mitted without the least dread Of
punishment except that which may
be inflicted on their person, at the
time, by the party on whom the
depreciation is committed. Are we,
then, to tolerate crime because the
application Of the remedy is dis
tasteful? Is it more palatable to
the civilization of the age, to en-
dure the commission of crime, rather
than apply the remedy and sup
press it2 We think it rather the
demand of civilization. A senti-
ment of feeling which operates to
prevent the suppression of crime
and lawlessness. is pernicious in
the highest degree, and can lay no
claim to the exponent of virtue and
refinement. Besides, this evil is
progressive. Simple larceny leads
to robbery, to burglary, to arson,
to murder; and on through the
catalouge of crimes. We would so
a step further than the whipping
post, and apply an .'ounce of pre-
yention." We would enforce the Law
against vagrancy, which is the most
prolific source of crime; and until
this sonrce is shut of, we may re-
sort to all the remedies Of this or a
past age, with butslittle success.

A DRUNKARD ALL HIS LIFE.

Colonel Randall in the Augusta Chronicle.
A friend of mine, suffering from.
calculus and failing to obtain re-
lief from celebrated physicians and
loudly advertised patent medicines,
was told that there dwelt in the
pine woods of a Southern State an
old doctor who could cure him.
Reaching the city nearest to the
specified locality, he made inquiry
of an acquaintance and was told
that the skillful person sought
dwelt near a small country hamlet,
thirty miles away. Hiring a buggy
and horse the sick man was driven
all day long over road of the
worst description, finally hating
before hut that only poor negro,
in his worst estate, would tenant
Knocking at the door, voice with

squalor that confronted him was
staggering and only matched by
the filthy human wreck who de-
manded to know why he had
been disquieted. The pilgrim
started back in amazement at the
ghastly spectacle of a man over
eighty years Of age with none of
the cleanly habits that SO often
consecrate senility. But when this
hideous apparition began to talk it
was palpable that a wonderful in
tellect had been buried in pig sty.
1t was revealed that the old
doctor was a graduate of a med
ical university, and that he had
been an eminent professor in a eel
! ebratcd college of the North. Hid

HE STRUCK BILLY PATTER.
SON.
Why George ". Tillerton's Daughter Claims
Reward Of 81, 900.

The Franklin IN. " Register has
discovered who struck Billy Patter-
son, Mr.. Patterson, the father of
Nine. Bonaparte, was a wealthy
Baltimorean. Upon one occasion,
while Mr.. Patterson was in Frank
lin looking after his property, a
general row occurred among the
boys, in which he became involved.
In the confusion, indeed, some one
struck Mr.. Patterson a tremendous
blow, and this SO angered him that
he walked through the crowd, in
quiring in stentorian tones: "WhoI
struck Billy Patterson" Mr.. Pat
terson was a large and powerful
man, and, under the circumstances,
no one among the fighters appeared
desirous of holding himself respon-
sible. The inquiry passed into a
byword and even to this day the
inquiry can be heard: Who struck
Billy Patterson?" The original
Billy pursued the inquiry with as
tonishing vigor, but without avail,
and at his death, eariously enough,
inserted clause in his will setting
apart $1,000 to be paid to the per-
son who should give to his heirs
or executor the name of the man who
struck him. The fight in which
Billy Patterson was struck occurred
in 1878, and it is passing strange
that just one hundred years after a
claim should be put in for the re-.
ward. And yet correspondent of
the Register says that such is the
case.
A Mrs. Jennie G. Covely, of
Athol, New York, daughter of
George W. Tillerton, has written to
the Ordinary of Franklin County,
claiming this legacy of $1,000. She
states that she is an invalid, aged
and infrm, and in great need of the
money. In 1888 her father was
quite young man, and being in
great fear of Mr.. Patterson fed the
country at once and never heard of
the reward or legacy. SIZE says she
has often heard her father speak of
the fight and the blow he gave Mr..
Patterson and the fierce anger of
the latter. The thumb Of Tiller-
toms hand was disjointed by the
blow and was so severely injured
that it remained useless member
to the day of his death. AS the
facts she gives correspond SO exact
ly with the facts Of the case, the
correspondent presumes that Mrs.
Covely will receive the legacy with
out delay.

couple settled down here for two
or three days and have a quiet
visit with each other and not be
scared out of their boots?"
The hotel man said they could
go right to their room and stay
there three days or three weeks and
never come to their meals if they
didn't want anything to eat. "But
what is the matter? Have you
been annoyed" asked the hotel
man.
"Annoyed? That doesn't express
it. We were married day before
yesterday at st. Paul and went
to a hotel. 1 live about sixty
miles West Of St. Paul, and travel
ing men put up job to make me
tired. There were about a hundred
of them showed in at St. Paul,
and I'll be darned if they didn't
keep US awake all night. They knew
we were a bridal couple and they
bribed the bell boys and porters to
let them act for them, and when we
rung the bell boy drummer for
Chicago cigar factory came in and
wanted to know what was wanted.
I ordered pitcher of ice water,
and Milwaukee drummer for

and made her feel real bad. /

bell for coal and q travelling sales
man, who posts railroad cards
around and works up excursions,
came in and fixed the fire, and he
stayed and poked it for half an
hour, and he had more gall than /
ever see. He asked so many ques-
tions about how long we had been
married that I wanted to thump
him, but my wife said we didn't
want to have no row the first day
we were married. I rung for
chambermaid to clean up the room
and bring some towels, and it was
about half an hour before she
came, and l went down to the
Office to see about my trunk, and
the chambermaid stayed about half
an hour and was very interesting,
and my wife said she was a real
pleasant, afectionate sort Of a
creature, far above her station, and
I tell you I was mad when I found
out that it was a smoothfaced,
handsome, young Jewish drummer
for Milwaukee clothing house, who
was in with the gang, and ne gave
the chambermaid So to loan him an
old dress so he could play cham
bermaid. When my wife told me
that the he chambermaid patted her
on the cheek, and said she was the
sweetest bride that was ever in a
hotel, and asked for kiss, and my
wife said she thought it would be
no harm to kiss a poor chamber
maid. and encouraged her, l wanted
to kill him, and I went down to the
Office the next morning, but the
smooth-faced cuss had gone to
Fargo. It was all the landlord
could do to hold me. Well, while
we were at supper somebody got
into our room and put cracker
crumbs in our bed, and we found a
cold oil-cloth floor mat over the top
sheet, enough to freeze anybody.

he would be responsible, and the
