Special Dispatch TO The Appeal
HELENA Ark, Sept li-Indignation and
excitement has been running quite high in
this county over the dastardly and cowardly

the negro named John Griffin, on the person
Of I. A. Graves a white oycrsccr. Every
excrtion has been made to effect his capture
A party Of armed men secured the woods
during last night and all day. Blood hounds
have been put on his track by the officers
but no trace has been found yet II lac Is
caught there will In all probability be
hanging that docs not have the sanction OF
law, but which will be justified by outraged
society. A reward Of 5000 will he offered by
the Governor Of the State for his capture
What makes bad feature of the killing =
the fact that Graves was trying To maxi
peace between the murderer and anOthe
negro, and ~ he was trying 10 paciiy him h'

A clever young German, who came
from Heidelberg not long since to
teach philosophy in an uptown school
for girls, is made much of in certain
circles of society, where poverty is
partially atoned for by talent. Still,
he says that in no society in the world
does wealth play so prominent a part
as in that of New York.

A Combination Fence.

Since the general introduction of
barb-wire fences, says The Country
Gentleman, the Importance of hedges
has greatly diminished, but for both
ornament and utility they may still be
employed to advantage. The most
perfect and really substantial are a
union of wire and hedge-plant. For
merly the honey locust and the Usage
orange made the best barriers; but the
honey locust requires much and fire.
quent cutting back, and the Usage
orange as much so, with the additional
drawback of winter-killing in regions
of severe winter. The buckthorn and
the barberry are both hardy, and both
have hedge-like growth, but neither
are stiff enough alone for farm barri-
ers. But with two or three barb-wires
included with them, stretched success
fully while the hedge is growing in
height, they become perfect-requiring
but little cutting back, forming stiff
hedge and presenting fine ornamen-
tai appearance when kept in good
shape. The purple barberry is as
hardy as the common sort and makes
as good hedge, and when in bloom
early in the season, or in scarlet berries
later, is an object of great beauty.
The plants are easily raised from seed
and are very readily and safely trans
planted. The privet has naturally
hedgy growth, and is often recon-
mended for hedges, but it is not per-
fectly hardy, and is liable to die out in
patches.

Husband and Heathen.

Ger the men of Ethiopia she would pour her
cornucopia,
And shower wealth and plenty on the people
of Japan,
Send down jelly cake and candies to the In
dians of the Andes,
And cargo OF plumb pudding to the men of
Hindoostan;
And she said she loved 'em so
Bushman, Finn and Eskimo.
If she had the wings of eagles to their succor
Loaded down with jam and Jelly,
Succotash and vermicelli,
Prunes, pomegranates, plums and pudding,
peaches, pineapples and pie.
She would fly with speedy succor to the ns-
tives of Moucca
With whole loads of quail and salmon, and
with tons of fTfcclsce,
And give cake in fullest measure
To the men of Australasia
And all the Arhipelagoes that dot the south
ern sea;
And the Anthropophngi,
All ihcir lives deprived of pie,
She would sati'lte and satisfy with oustard,
cream ani mince;
And those miserable Australians
And the Borrioboorighaii iians,
She would g-rge with choicest jolly, rasp'
berry, currant, grape and ounce.
But Ike old war time hnrdtaekers, her poor
husband lived on crackers
Bought ut wholesale from baker, eaten
from the mantei shelf:
If the men of Madagascar.
And the natives of ALASKA,
Had enough to sate their hunger, let him leoE
out for himself.
And bis coat had one tail
And he used n shingle nail
To fasten up his "galus" when he went out

And she used to spend his money
For the Terra Del Fueg!an aud the Turcomau

A Typical Georgia Country Town.

Irwington is not so large a town as
Chicago, but it has no anarchy and
everything looks calm and serene. 1t
is one of those old-fashioned towns
that are off the railroad, and they don't
care if it is, so they have the court
house and Jail and can hear the Sheriff
call twice year. like such places.
like their ''otium cum Dig" though
they don't dig alarmingly much. L
like the open welcome of their store
piazzas where the lawyers, and doc
tors, and preachers meet to discuss
affairs. public and private, and tell
anecdotes, and whittle on soft pine.
and hold down the chairs that used to
have split bottoms, but now have raw
hide with all the hair worn off except
the suburbs. / like the slow and
measured dignity with which these
people come and go and move about
the town. There is nobody tired when
night comes. Nobody stoop-shoulder-
ed from overwork. Nobody's shoes
worn out at the toes. When the mer-
chant wants to go to dinner he can
shut up and go and lose no trade by it,
for the kind-hearted customers will
wait till he comes back. The lawyers
can go fishing and the doctor attend
to his farm. The jail door stands
open all the year round and the Sheriff
has hungry look for lack of business.

Meaning of America.

The meaning of the name Amerlgo
has often been discussed, the only
thing certain being that it is one of
those names of Teutonic origin, like
Humberto, Alfonzo, Grimaldi, or Carl
baldi, so common in northern Italy,
which testify to the Gothic or Lombard
conquest. Americ, which occurs as
early as 744 A. D., is probably con-
tracted form of the name Amalaric,
borne by king of the Visigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop Enrich was
present at the council of Salisbury in
8O7, and an Americas Balistarius is
mentioned in the Close rolls (thirteenth
century,
1t has been conjectured that the
stem is i'm, from which we get the
name of Emma. The meaning of this
is not known with certainty, though
Ferguson thinks it may denote ''strife"
or ''noise." Since, however, the name
is probable of Gothic origin, and since
the Amalungs were the royal race OF
the Ostrogoths, it is more likely that
the stem is email, which was formerly
thought to mean without spot" but
it is now more plausibly connected
with the old Morse anil, ''labor,
''work." The suffix ric, cognate with
rex, reich, and rick, means erich" OF
powerful" and therefore the mos
probable Specification of Amerigo is
''strong for labor. Isaac Taylor F1

Mourning Rings.

Ibid you ever see a mourning ring?"
asked Maiden Lane jeweler of Mail
and Ezpress reporter yesterday.
well, here is one"
1t is heavy gold band, perfectly
plain and with seal in the shape of a
coffin. 1t has glass face, through
which can be seen skeleton in gold.
On the inside of the ring is the in
scription in black enamel giving the
initials of the deceased and the date of
death.
These designs were used over a
century ago, and now they are to be
revived as the latest fad. Some young
widows who find it difficult to indicate
their bereavement when indoors with
hat and flowing veil removed, take ad-
vantage of the ring to announce to sus-
ceptible young men that they have re-
turned to the matrimonial market.
They need not look melancholy. A
turn of the finger and the sad news is
told"
do men use them?"
"Most assuredly. Widowers have
no way of announcing their loss ex.
cept by the band on their hats. With
mourning ring all embarrassing IN
fquiries regarding the deceased wife
may be avoided, and knowledge of the
widower's restored eligibility quickly
and neatly impaired.

The Trials or An inventor.

Among the inventors who have sac
rificed enough for their brain-children
to be called indeed martyrs" is
Charles Goodyear. the man to whom
we are indebted for India-rubber. 1t
was in 1920 that pair of rubber shoes
was seen for the first time in the
| United States, and then they were
merely handed about as curiosity.
Goodyear found, in 1884, that for all
| practical purposes, rubber was fall
ure. Articles made from it melted in
summer, and emitted such an Often
sive OdOr that it became necessary to
! bury them. At the time when his at
tention was turned to the subject, he
was bankrupt, and his first expert
ments with rubber were made in Jail.
Like all persevering inventors, he
thereafter sacrificed not only his time
and money, for the sake of his project,
but all the funds which he could bor-
row from his friends.
His wife's Jewels and family relics
speedily found their way to the pawn
brokers', and Goodyear moved into
the country in order that he might
live as economically as possible. At
length his invention was patented, and
a wealthy partner joined him; but a
| commercial crisis soon swept away
every cent of their joint capital.
Then Goodyear found that he had
not exen enough money to buy food
for his family, and the pawnbroker
became again his only resource.
He had become an object of general
ridicule, and one of his New York
friends having been asked how he was
to be recognized in the street, said Of
him, elf you see a man wearing an
lndia-rubber coat, India-rubber shoes,
an India-rubber cap and in his pocket
an India-rubber purse with not a cent
in IT, that is he"
For he constantly wore the material
about, with the twofold object of test
! ing and advertising it.
Sometimes he seemed to be on the
road TO prosperity. The government
once gave him an order for one hum
dred and iifty rubber mail-bags, but
when they were made, the handles
dropped off and the rubber fermented.
But Goodyear was not disheartened.
He baked India-rubber in his wife's
oven, boiled it in her saucepans,
steamed it at the nose of the tea-kettle,
roasted it in ashes. and toasted it be-
fore fires quick and slow. And all this
time he was regarded by most people
as harmless, but very wearisome,
lunatic.
His children were often sick, hun
CRY and cold, and it is said that
he once sold their schoolbooks for five
dollars, with which he laid in a new
stock of gum and sulphur for his ex-
periments.
His darkest hour came when he had
in the house a dead child. with no
means of burying it and five living
members of the family, with no food
for their next meal. But help was at
hand. His immediate want was re-
lieved, and his brothers advanced
money for carrying on his experiments.
In 1874, he was able to produce vul-
canized India-rubber, with absolute
economy and success.
But, having attained one object, he
adopted another, no less dear, that OF
perfecting life-saving apparatus, and
after twenty-seven years of labor, hav-
ing actually founded a new industry,
he died insolvent, leaving his family
an inheritance of debt.
