It was a summer day in the early 'sixties. Atlanta lay basking in the sunshine, and hardly a move ment or a sound to disturb the peace th.it brooded over her. Here and there might have been seen the flash of shining jteel,- and grpop8,of armed men, but there was nothing beyond this that savored of war. In a large room in the old jail perhaps a score or so of prisoners were assembld. Some were chattino; over old times; others were looking through the grated windows at the bright outside world, and several were playing cards. They were a set" of stalwart fellows, shapely and muscular, with keen eyes anil bronzed, bearded faces. Unlike ordinary jail birds, there was nothing particularly vicious in the appearance of these men. They looked like soldiers, and in fact belonged to the federal army. Outside of the jail walls they were spoken of as "the engine thieves," but within the union lines they were regarded as detailed sol diers selected fos a special mis sion requiring great caution ami courage. In a word, they be longed to the party which under the leadership of Captain An drews had almost succeeded in carrying the engine and cars stolen at Big Shanty into the enemy's camp, after burning be hind them all the bridges or the state road. The men, idly passing away tip tedious hours of the long summer day in the gloomy jail, were reckless and daring adven turers and they looked like a dangerous crowd. The curd-playing went on and the loungers about the win dows talked and laughed. As yet they did not? know their fate -they might be treated as prisoners of war or they might be put to death as spies. They did not know, and they took no thought of the morrow. A clatter of hoofs and the clash of sabers arrested their at tention for a moment and the players looked up. "Cavalry," said a man at the window. The game went on. Atlanta was full of cavalry and infantry, too, the matter was of no in terest to the prisoners. The cavalrymen haulted in front of the jail and several offi cers went into the building. When the door ot tlie room opened and the jailer made his appearance accompanied by the officers, the prisoners showed signs of interest. This visit meant something they thought, and they were not mistaken. One of the officers produced a paper and called out the names of seven prisoners. The men all answered. What did it mean? Was it an exchange, a transfer, or what! Like a thunderbolt the appall ing intelligence burst upon them. They had been tried as spies, condemned as spies, and they were to be hanged as spies! The death warrant was read in silence so intense that the falling of a pin could have been ! heard. , It stated that the sen- j tence was to fce executed as soon j as it was made public. ' Every mat. was struck with the idea the moment the read- iiur was finished that it had i been made public! When would the hanging take place? They were not suf fered to remain long in doubt. The Rev. W. J. Scott and the Rev. Mr. McDonald were per mitted to enter and oiler the j doomed men such spiritual con ' solation as was in their power.! An app.'al was made for a respite, but it wa; of n) avail, j The officers had their orders. ; Then the men left their last messages for theia families, an I . 1 .i , .1 ' the promise was given that the ; should be Sent, if possible. It turned out later that the war , -rj. , , , , department at Richmond would not send them through the lines. The seven men were stoutly pinioned, marched out )o'f jail and placed in a wagon? The cavalrv escort closed around it. and the procession started off. Eastward of Oakland cemetery at that time was a little! grove, and in this secluded.pot ar rangements had been mftde for the execution. jfj- As no publication It&Ptttreii' made of the affair, and as pre caution had been taken to keep tlie matter from the public, there was not a very large crowd present. lint, besides the soldiers, there were citizens, boys and a few negroes waiting in breathless borrow for the last scone of all. The gallows was a very sim ple machine. Several nooses dangled from a long leam stretched between two trees just over a narrow platform support ed by props. i th pale faces, ond yet with wonderful composure, the seven men took their lilaces on the platform, and the nooses were adjusted. Wilson, one of the victims, a handsome, manly fellow, ask ed permission to speak. His request was granted, and in a loud, clear voice he entered his protest against the sentence passed upon him and his com rades, lie said that they were not spies they were detailed soldiers acting under orders. Then he told his hearers that they had been misled, that they were lighting for a hopeless cause, and that the union was bound to be restored. He told them that the people of the north felt no hatred for the south, but they would carry on the war until victory was theirs, and the stars and stripes waved over the conquered contederacy. It was a mild and yet a bitter speech. Nobody wanted to hear it, but the spectators lis tined with painful interest. When brave men ayj about to die there is always sympathy for them, and the confederates and the citizens scaffold looked on full of pity. There was no around the with hearts help for it. i lie stern uecrce nan to he car ried out, and after Wilson's speech the props were knocked away, and the seven bodies hung suspended in the air. Few more horrible executions have ever been seen in this civ ilized land. Two of the priso ners were very heavy men. Their ropes broke and they fell to the ground. When they were picked up the blood was streaming from their mouth and nost'ele, and the' begged pitioiialy for an hour's respite to enable them to gain their strength. In morcy to the sufferers, their request was refused. It wonld have been cruel to pro long their ogony. So the two half-hanged men were made to again thrust their heads through the nooses, and in a few moments their corpses were swinging in the ghastly line with the other five. It did not take long to till up the narrow trench in which the collinless dead were buried. The cavalry clattered back to rm . i it. HORSE AILMENTS, Neponset, Vi., May 20, 1883.

The bright summer day faded away in sadness and darkness, and timid women shuddered, while the old graybeards shook ineir wise neaus and predicted disaster. After all, it was only a chap ter in the history of a" war, rnd all wars are full of sorrowful chapters. Wallace P. Reed. Misapplication of the Term "Lady. At the seaside one day last summer the writer chanced to go to the stable at a moment when the cook of the boarding house .where he was staying had gone there too for some un known purpose and managed to get into a most fiery quariel with the hostler. At the in stant when the writer approach ed tilings had apparently reach ed an emotional crisis, and the hostler cried out in an explo sion of wrath: kVou flannel-mouth sow, get out of here; this ain't no place for ladies!" The picitiresquencss of this address went so far toward re deeming its vulgarity, that while it was of course not posi ble to dispute the truth of the hostler's final statement it was also immpossible not to laugh over his grotesqueness. Boston Courier. "SWEET HOME." "There is no place like home'' runs tlie old song, and we know how truu it is. Go where we will encounter men in whatever circumstances we. may, wo Hliall be apt to hntl that a reference to their homes will immediately secure their attention, and will give you favor in their ees. The impressions made in the home are lasting. A mother's words never pat-H from the mind. A father's counsel remains fresh so long as life lasts. The last benediction of parental love ai.d solicitude with what ten acity it clings to the memory when almost all else has gone. How important, therefore, that the home be maintained intact as long as possible a haven of loving counsel, of peace nnd joy to the growing children. How sad when death in vades, when the fire goes out on the hearth-stone and tin-'family is scat tered. What the cl ild en lose by the death of a patent only those realize who have grown up without that love and advice which a parent alone can bestow. No doubt, tens of thousands of parents have found premature giaves, who might have lived years of use fu'ness, had they but "known what was sapping their strength, and slowly but surely pushing them into the grave. There are tens of thousands of parents to-day in agony of mind through fear of death from kidney diFense, who do not know the' are doctoring only symptoms such as wakefulness, nervousness, a splendid feeling one day ami an all-gone one another, dropsy, weak heait action, pneumonia, neuralgia, fickle appetite, etc., while the teal trouble is poisoned blood caused by diseased kidneys. Unless purified with Warner's Safe Cure 'hey will just as surely die, as though nois med with arsenic. If you are sufi'eting as described, and have been for any lcgth of time, you are, unlesB you get relief risdit speedily, stricken with death, whether you know it or not. Doctors publicly admit that they cannot cure advanced kidney disease"; they are too bigoted to use Warner's Safe Cure because it is an advertised remedy; consequently, unless you UFe your own good judgment, secure and use Warner's Safe Cure, a specific, which has x'roved itself in tens of thousands of cuses to bejl it is re- j presented, your home, tlrrough your death, will" be broken up and your , loved ones deprived nf that which money cannot purchase or friends supply. Already too many loving parents, noble, kind and true, have gone down j to premature graves through ignor- ance. of their t-ommton. unit the bicotrvoi nhvpicia is. It is time to I cry a halt, and we beg of you, for the ; love vou bear your home and the duty you owe yourself, to g.vo this malter yrur eateful and conscientious con sideration. 3 1 ST 2 &2 2. b-t o ta 2.5 2 STdtj r i S1? evT3 - trP i si pf a crsrs a 0 0 "2 ngio fi i- 3 c -a a -r iz. ri - at -.-fM wM a m m " o $ o 3 Erg ac CS 0B o b . r- re .ma - a DH1).

In Wellington, New Zealand, a diver who had gone down some thirty feet to place some blocks for a pier foundation, was attack ed by a devil fish that succeeded in fastening on him, and in spite of all his struggles, pinned him to one of the piles of a retaining wall. The diver, however, had the good sense to remain quiet, and the devil fish, whose arms measured quite nine feet, quit ting his hold of the pile, was brought to the surface on the back of the diver and killed. 1 hese monsters are reported to be very numerous in Wellington Harbor.
