proposal!
The wretched, half-crazed, agon-
lied wife, not knowing what she
did, acceded to save her husbands
life, and the next morning she was
found lying distracted and nearly
dead, with her babe at her breast,
near the public spring at Palmyra.
And after all this her husband
was only released on condition that
another should be shoti in his place.
Young Smith was selected.
And then ensued a contest with
out a parallel in all the 5000 years
of human history.
Humphreys refused to let any
man die in his stead; declared he
should feel himself a murderer il
he did.
Smith protested he was only a
poor orphan boy, and SO far as he
knew, there was not a soul on
earth to grieve for him; that Hum
phreys had a large family DEEPEN
dent upon him from daily bread,
and it was his duty to live while he
could.
And Smith, the simple country
lad, only II years old, the here
without a peer on all fame's mighty
scroll, took his seat IN his rough
box and was shot.

Another View Of It.

In describing the Palmyra affair,
Pete Donan, writing in the Lexlng-
ton Caucasian in 1870, says:
There was u poor, handsome,
gallant boyhood friend, Tom Side
ner, as pure a soul as ever winged
its flight from blood-stained sod.
Poor Tom! He was a model, a
paragon of manly grace and beauty,
so e~xquisitely formed, features SO
perfect and so fair, so brave and yet
SO gentle, that even Editor Win
chell, now publisher of the Hanni-
bal Courier, said that Gin his beau
ty and his ~wickedness he reminded
him of Absalom." Poor fellow!
He was engaged to be married to a
young lady in Monroe county.
When he learned tbat he was to be
shot, he sent for his wedding suit,
which had just been made, declar-
ing that if he couldn't be married
in it he intended to die in it.
Arrayed in his elegant black
broadcloth and his white silk vest,
when he mounted his coarse plank
coffin in the wagon that was to beal
him to death, he looked as if he
were going to be married instead Of
shot. The very guards cried like
children when they babe him good.
by.
Raising his cap and bowling to the
weeping women who lined the
streets, he was driven from theil
sight forever. Half an hour after
ward six musket balls had pierced
his noble heart, and his white sill
wedding-vest was torn and dyed il
his martyr blood! .
There was poor old Willis Baker
his head whitened with the snowl
of more than 70 winters-heroic OLE
man! With his white hair stream
ing in the wind, he seated himsel
on his rude coffin and died withou
a shudder, refusing, with his las
breath, to forgive his executioners
and swearing that he would "mee
them and torment them in hell
through all etelnity!"
There was that helpless, half
idiot boy from Lewis county, VIII
allowed himself to be blindfolded
then hearing Sidener and the other
refuse, slipped up one corner ofhi
bandage, and seeing the rest witt
their eyes uncovered, removed tn
handkerchief from bis own, an

There were Humstead and Blk
