,Htm--, - MURDER WILL OUT. . SH* Mystery of Oen. Hiodman's Death [From the New York World.1 Murder will out. To that we have the testimony of the records, and the axiom has been formulated by the great­ est of American orators. Not only does the body of the victim, voiceless except through gaping wounds, ciy out for Christian sepulture from the depths of swamp or lonely copse where the mur­ derer has vainly hoped to hide the wit­ ness to his crime, but the wretch him­ self, hurrying from bloody act to blood­ ier and still more cruel deeds, reaches such a height of reckless daring that the blindest justice cannot help but close about him. Then the gallows comes, and then, with no hope for the future and a late repentance for the past, he tells the story of his crimes. Mys­ teries of blood at last are understood ; mayhap the memory of an innocent mail is cleared of stain, and one death is made to pay the penalty of many. In the newspaper of every day these coin­ cidences of fate are told. We have two of them before us as we write. With a prescience of the coming massacre be­ fore him, perhaps, a soldier of Custer's army wrote out the narrative of a mur­ der committed long years before, which, from the obscurity of the victim or the disorder of the tames, had never been traced to its author. Before the letter was read in the Southern town where the crime had almost passed from recol- . lection, the murderer lay in that horri­ ble ravine, retribution coming from sav­ age hands, but the criminal dying in brave company, and as one of a noble band whose names will be bright in history. But of those who went down to slaughter that fatal June day, we may suppose that to ope death was a welcome relief from the barbs of conscience. His crime drove him from the comforts of a home through fourteen years of wandering, and finally to a terrible death on the far-off plains. His uneasy spirit forced him to a confession of the for­ gotten murder, and at last the molder- uig corpse in a Tennessee grave had its revenge in a mutilated body in the lands of the Fioux. Gen. Thomas C. Hindman was a Major General in the Confederate army. Alter the war he returned to his home, near Helena, Ark., and, a few years later, the community and the entire South were shocked to hear of his brutal assassination while surrounded " by his wife and children. Sitting in ma library one night, a gun was forced through the window, and the soldier who had escaped from a hundred bat­ tles fell dead from his chair, his body riddled with bullets. The murder wtus commonly ascribed to a private enmity, and a reputable citizen of Helena has since borne the load of a terrible suspi­ cion, which the confession of the real criminal has but now removed. The mails bring us the account of a gallows scene at Rome, in Georgia, wherein, by the statement of the condemned, the mystery of Hindman's death at last is solved. Haywood Grant, colored, con­ victed of arson and sentenced to be hanged, and with the noose about to be placed around his neck, called the Sheriff to him and confessed to the mur­ der of two steamboat hands on a Missis­ sippi river steamboat, ten years ago; then to the murder of an Irishman ill Memphis during the same year ; and still again to the murder of a policeman near to the spot where the third of his murders had been committed, and closed the dismal catalogue by detailing the manner in which he had shot to . death the ex-Confederate General in his Arkansas home. No cause was given for the crime, and a moment later the wretch was swung off into eternity. Not so soon, however, but that an in­ nocent man was relieved of a suspicion which was not so strongly supported by facts as to bring him to the felon's dock, but which, except that the law had dragged the real criminal to his fate, would have followed him to his , grave and have been left as an evil her­ itage to his children. Justice, though tardy, had asserted itself, and the crime of the murderer had found voice. The manes of the murdered Hind­ man may now rest in peace, for the law of "retribution lias been fulfilled on the scaffold of that Georgia town. : Does a Bird Die a Natural Death! It is the opinion of some naturalists that birds never die a natural death, but come to their end by some murderous accidental means; yet I have found spar­ rows and vireos in the fields and woods dead or dying, that bore no marks of violence; and I remember that once in my childhood a red-bird fell down in the yard exhausted and was brought in by the girl; its brighl scarlet image is indel­ ibly stamped upon my recollection. It is not known that birds have any distem- • pera like tha domestic fowls, but I saw a social sparrow one day quite disabled by some curious malady, that suggested ^ disease that sometimes attacks poultry; ' one eye was nearly put out by a scrofu­ lous-looking sore, and on the last joint or one wing there was a large tumorous of fungous growth that crippled the bird completely. On another occasion I picked up one 4 that appeared well but could not keep its center of gravity when in flight, and so fell to the ground. One reason why dead birds and ani­ mals are so rarely found is, that on the approach of death their instinct prompts them to creep away in some hole or un­ der some cover, where they would be least liable to fall a prey to their natural enemies. It is doubtful if any of the game birds, like the pigeon and grouse, ever die of old age, or the semi-game birds, like the bobolink, or the " century- living " crow; but in what other form pan death overtake the humming-bird, or even the swift and the barn-swallow ? Such are the true birds of the air ; they may be occasionally lost at sea during their migrations, but, so far as I know, they are not preyed upon by any other species.--John £urroughsrin Scribner for August Caught at Last. John Collins, a talented London pick­ pocket, took an active part in the Moody and Sankey meetings, and after the de­ parture of the evangelists became a pop­ ular singer and eshorter. His piety was not questioned by his fellow workers, and his friends among the thieves did not expose him. Thus he was enabled to pick pockets with great facility, often taking the watches and pocketbooks of men and women while praying at their sides, or while explaining to them the way of salvation. Continued success, perhaps, made him careless, for, while taking part at the exercises at the laying of a corner-stone for a church in U x- bridge, he was caught stealing a watch from a woman who was sharing a hymn book with hinf during the singing. He was arrested, and then a great number of robberies were traced to him. & CURIOSITY OF COOKERY. The Dinner Served to a Party of South Carolinians by Mr. Baker, the Eccentric Massachusetts Millionaire. It is not very surprising perhaps, in view of the desire which so many rich men manifest to .preserve their names from oblivion by founding new institu­ tions of learning, that Mr. Baker, an eccentric rich man of Massachusetts who has a similar ambition, should make a gift for a college of cookery. Hef did not stop to think how much more good his $50,000 and his farm of fifty acres would accomplish if bestowed on some 'prosperous educational institution al­ ready organized for its work. It was enough for him to know that his new " college" will bear his name. There will be some curiosity to know how the new institution will be organized. Of what specialty will its President be mas­ ter ? Will there be professors of soups, roasts, and deserts, and tutors of hash, fries, and stews! Will the newly-ar­ rived students be required to eat their« first dishes ? Mr. Baker, wljo has made this odd gift, is the gentleman who last year in­ vited the Southern visitors to the Bunker Hill Centennial celebration to assist at the dedication of his " centennial pig­ pen," and who, during the present week, has been entertaining a large company of Southerners at his Massachusetts farm. His notion of a good dinner may be in­ ferred from the following bill of fare of a dinner wliioh he gave to his guests on Thursday : L'HOMME OK ANATOMICAL MENU. Soup--Potage a la Esau, with Anatomical Drops, Fish--Boiled Salmon, with Muscles, Sounds, and Soles (tbe brains of men), dressed with Aga»8iz' comments. Meats--Pork, Beef Tongues, Dressed Goose, etc., representing the poreineograph, forceful, and garrulous man. Entrees--F. F. V. Bivalves, Clinch Rifle Greens, Bay State Fish Balls, Palmetto Cabbagewnd Fayetteville Bull's Eyes, with Army and Navy Sauce. Vegetables--Dead Beats with Latin Tongue, the Art I Choke, Corned Dodgers, Small Fly Potatoes, and let- ua have peas-- but the Split Peas. Salads--Lobster and frog-leg, indicating the clan­ nish and spasmodic man. Moslem salad, with the great Saladin. Relishes--Chaw-Chaw, Lamb's Tongues and Pig's Feet. Desert--Saharah (for the sandwich is there where Ham was bred), M. T. Representative. Cocoanuts, Washington Pie, Centennial Oum Drops, Darwinian Surprises, Cream Ices, Sherbet, etc. Of Brandy flip and night-cap nip, Drink your share, but Punch with care* Each guest received a little China baby in his plate of soup, and a larger speci­ men of a doll baby was placed in each goblet, carefully wrapped in a Japanese paper napkin. The host's eccentricity was further shown by his announcement at the close of the feast that he proposed to introduce to the guests one of Dar­ win's friends. Drawing a slide from a wire cage which, covered with flowers, stood near him a large monkey sprang out. If Mr. Baker's large gift is a genuine one, and we have no doubt that it is, it is to be hoped that his amusing eccentricity will not cause it to be wholly wasted.-- New York Evening Post. A Scene in the French Assembly. The Versailles correspondent of the London Times describes an unparalleled row in the National Assembly in conse­ quence of a Jesuit professor having di­ vulged a competition problem. Leon Gambetta asked for an investigation by members of the two chambers, and said he was confident the Jesuit had knowl­ edge beforehand of the geometrical pfoblem. A Bonapartist Deputy inter­ rupted the Radical leader by exclaiming against the Republic. "Last year," continued Gambetta, "a similar thing happened and was passed over in silence." "It was before the Republic," cried a Bonapartist. "No," retorted Gambetta; "the Republic was, it is true, then not governed by Republicans, but France was long quit of Imperial putre­ faction." A terrible tumult arose on the Bonapartist benches, whence an irate Deputy shouted, "If it be said that the Empire was rottenness, it is al­ lowable to reply that the Republic is a dunghill." For over a quarter of an hour chaos reigned in the Assembly. Radicals and Imperialists left their seats and advanced with threatening ges­ tures towards each other, uttering invec­ tives, vociferating, bawling, and making the hall resound with their clamor. It was a sickening spectacle, and,as a Bona­ partist Deputy observed, it is not only the Republic which loses caste by such incidents, but the whole chamber. p, Tire Flight of Birds. A year ago last April, the pigeons flew for two or three days up and down the Hudson. In" long bowing lines, or else in dense masses, they moved across the sky. It was not the whole army, but I should think at least one corps of it; I had not seen such a flight of pigeofis since my boyhood. I went up to the top of the house, the better to behold the winged procession. The day seemed memorable and poetic in which such- sights occurred. While I was looking at the pigeons, a flock of wild geese went by, harrowing the sky northward. The geese strike a deeper chord than the pigeons. Level and straight they go as fate to its mark. I cannot tell what emotions these migrat­ ing birds awaken in me--the geese es­ pecially. One seldom sees more than a flock or two in a season, and what a spring token it is! The great bodies are in motion. It is like the passage of a victorious army. No longer inch by inch does spring come, but these geese advance the standard across zones at one pulL How my desire goes with them, how something in me, wild and migratory, plumes itself and foDows fast!--John Burroughs, in Scribners. The Slayer of Jim Fisk. Stokes, who has always had a pretty easy time at Sing Sing, could hardly be­ lieve it when he was told he must go to the Auburn prison, with its strict disci­ pline, especially as his term of imprison­ ment will expire in a couple of months. He was shackled to a notorious jail-bird, known in tho prison as "Jimmy, the Kid," and placed^ic the gang of fifty who were drafted. " A Prison thatHas Kept the Gallowp "busy. The last report of the Warden and Directors of the Connecticut State Prison shows 252 convicts in that institution, of whom 121 were received within the past year. The number last year was 236. Sixty-eight are of foreign birth. A reduction in the price of labor of the prisoners, who are engaged in cigar, shoe, wirework, and ride making, from Bixty to forty cents a day has so far de­ creased the income of the prison as to leave a deficit of $2,874. The more humane system of discipline introduced by Warden Hughes is maintained with satisfactory results. A striking com- iuculary upon the cruel discipline for­ merly in vogue there is the fact that in thirty years there has been only one hanging in Connecticut for crime com­ mitted outside of the prison, but that in the same period there have been four executions for crime perpetrated within it. !

Ext., or Golden Medical Discovery. I have taken great interest in this medicine since I first used it. I wae badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an almost perfect prostration of the nervous sys­ tem. So rapid and complete did the Discovery effect a perfect cure that it seemed more liko magic and a perfect wonder to myself, and uince that time we have never been without a bottle of the Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They are a solid, sound family physician in the house and ready at all times to flv to the relief of sickness--without charge. We have never had a doctor in the house since we first began the use of your Pellets and Dis­ covery. I have recommended the use of these medicines in seveial severe and complicated cases arising from, aa I thought, an impure state of the blood, and in no one case have they failed to more than accomplish all they are claimed to do. I will only lueution one as re­ markable (though I could give you dozens). Henry Koster, furniture dealer, of this place, who was one of the most pitiful objects ever eeen, his face swollen out of shape, scales and eruptions without end, extending to his body, which was completely covered with blotches and scales. Nothing that he took seemed to affect it a particle. I finally induced him to try a few bottles of the Golden Medical Discov­ ery, with daily use of the Pellets, assuring him it would surely cure him. He commeuced its use some six weeks since, taking two Pellets each night for a week, then one each night, and the Discovery as directed. The result is, to­ day his skin is perfeotly smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone. He has taken some seven •or eight bottles in all, and wnsiders himself cured. This case had baffled tbe skill of our best physicians. Messrs. Dnnsford & Co., druggists, of this pli.ee, are selliDg largely of your medicines, and the demand steadily in­ creases, and they give perfect satisfaction in ever}' case, lieapectfully, \Y. H.

Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic In its nature k totally different from such drugs. It contains no corro­ sive minerals or acids; in fact, it assists the re®'®_ * operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juioe that it Is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi­ gestion, with all its distressing symptoms, follows.
