HELUVJJrtDs BY HEMP.

Hanging of a Negro wretch, Which Was Too Good Punishment for Him. X Black Fiend Who Butchered Ills Baby Recnnse It Couldn't Walk. Th most horrible crime in the records cf the state was expiated od the gallows at gpringtield, Georgia, last Tuesday, George "Williams, colored, having been hung for the murder of his infant son William. On the 6th of August, 1875, the partially decomposed body .of a child, apparently about two years of age, was found in the woods near Williams's house. The body showed that the wretched child had undergone horrible mutilation before death. The right foot was burned otf, and the leg shriveled nearly to the knee. The face was badly burned, and there was a deep cut across the forehead, the skull being crushed in. The eyes were terribly swollen, and there was a large bruised spot just below the navel. Despite the mutilation, the body was recognized as that of the infant son of George Williams. He was at. once arrested and brought before a coroner's jury. . The investigation disclosed that the father became enratred with the child because it was backward in learning to walk. Having started it across the floor two or three times only to see it totter and fall, he seized a barrel stave and beat it severely over the back and head. Finding it still unable to walk, he held it over the fire until its foot was burned away and its face badly scorched. He then threw it on the floor and stamped it on the stomach, and then crushed its head in with a large box. These facts were each brought out plainly, ana the father then confessed to the whole matter, pleading in extenuation only that he did not lnieiHl IO JLlli lue luiiu. n yiwi ui uuiuutive a witness was introduced who swore that Williams had to'd him some days previous that he intended to kill the boy as Jie was "no account" Willie was the child of a first wife, his father having married a second time. ' When put upon trial he was promptly convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hung. Through some technicality he obtained a new trial, upon which he was again convicted, and a new sentence was passed. His case was earned to the supreme court without other avail than delay, and he was hung to-day in accordance with his third sentence of death. The prisoner, a short, thick set, stolid negro, has been in the Chatham county jail for several weeks. While there he was frequently visited by certain Benedictine Bionk. and last week professed conversion and joined the Catholic church. Since that time he bas been an enthusiast, and said frequently that he longed for "the happy hour to come when his soul would be released from the cares of this world" and '"let fly to trie arms of Jesus." On yeterday he was brought to this place and placed in the county jail. A strong guard was kept around this building during the night, as it was feared that a rescue might be attempted. It. will be noticed that the execution has taken place on Tuesday. The judge of this circuit bas determined to lift one unlucky owner from Friday's shoulders, and to rid it of the title of "hangman's day." All his death sentences have been executed on other days than Friday. The preparations for the execution were very simple. A rude gibbet was constructed and placed in a strip of woods about a quarter of a mile from the court house, but in full view of it. A drop platform, working upon a trigger, was used. The scene around the gallows was very exciting. No-disturbance, however, occurred. The Effingham huzzars, mounted and equipped, were acting as a guard. The Catholic priests who had come to the scaffold were denied access to the prisoner, who expressed a desire for a'colored minister, and the Rev. Mr. Rawls, a colored Baptist preacher in the neighborhood, was brought to him. Religious services were held at the loot of the scaffold, the prisoner remaining unmoved during the entire time, while a hymn was sung by a choir of five colored men. After prayer by the minister tii3 prisoner addressed the crowd, numbering about 600 men. women and children, white and black. He said : "Friends, all, I will shortly see God's face. I hope you will try to see me there. I do not feel well enough to talk to you much. I hope you will meet me in heaven. Now I have found God in peace. I am a soldier of of the cross and feel resigned to die willing to die. Nothing grieves me. I hope you will continue in prayer, and remember the way in which I go to the next world, a better world than this. I am accused of a crime. I am innocent of the crime. I feel my way clear to glory." The prisoner then turned to the deputy sheriff and inquired, "After my death who will have control of my body?'' The sheriff replied. "I will." The condemned man said, "If my people desire my body give it to them for burial. I have no more to say." At three minutes past 10 the deputy sheriff bound the prisoner. Five minutes later the prisoner took leave of his friends and ascended the scaffold, maintaining great indifference. At 10 minutes past 1 the noose was arranged around the unfortunate man's neck by the deputy sheriff, under the direction of Dr. Morton, and Williams still remained unmoved. At fifteen minutes past 1 the black cap was drawn over his head, when he trembled slightly. One minute later the trap was sprung and the body was dangling in the air. The body quivered about two minutes. In fire minutes it was cut down, and examined by Dr. Norton, "when life was pronounced extinct. ' A me r lern nl dim. , Prom Leisure Hours.! The signboards are instructive. One of thera represents the establishment of a "dry goods store," the- name for haberdushery ; another bears the whimsical legend "notions," representing small wares of various kinds. Our maid herself ceased to be a "servant," and we, who are king and Queen of our domestic castle are no more"master" . and "missus." The free air of the country In whict all are "citizens" and no "subjects " has raised the servant to be a '.'help" and her employer to be 'governor" or boss," or, if slang is to be avoided, ."Mr. A." or "Mrs. A." , A "biscuit" is a soft ' bun, and hard English biscuit is called a 'racker. Notes representing a number of dollars are e&iled '.'bill;" small notes of ten, twenty-five or fifty cents are "greenbacks,"or "hange." "Potatoes" are either "sweet potatoes" or "Irish potatoes" (also termed "white potatoes"). "Lumber" signifies timber, or sawed boards. "Deal" is known as a specu atjon of a kind of wood, but the wood itelf is abundant, and is called "white pine." "Vine" is used generally for any climbing plant, and . the common phraseology runs of "grape-vine," "ivy-vine." and agtin of "poison ivy.". English .. terms of natural , history are misapplied in a country where the species, vary, from those of Great Britfaa. The American "robin" is a .large, red . breasted thrush; the "haw" is a kind of a plum tree: .'daisy' is not tie sweet, crimson tipped flower of

home. "Clever" does not indicate mental

ability (which is expressed by "able" or "smart"), but means generosity of spirit. The accent and tone of words is sometimes jKiCuliar. .Minima and ;ipa, with accent on the first syllable, are universal, and we give testimony with longo, not testimony, as in Europe. The peculiarities of exression may be traced to various sources, he American Indians have left their mark extensively in geographical names, snd also in a few words which persist in the language of the country: as "hominy" for food prepared from Indian corn. Some of their words, as canoe, calumet, wigwam tomahawk and pemmican, are becoming classical English terms. "Maize" originated in the West Indies; "cob," expressing its head deprived of the seeds, and "shucks" for its husks, are probably Indian words, as is the widely known "tobacco." "viuano" is Peruvian for "dung." "Corn" is employed in the United States for Indiai:' com. "Porridge" made of oatmeal, is called "mush," or "oatmeal mush," or simply xatmeal," (and is partaken of, sup by sup, along with coffee or beefsteak, as is cheese with apple tart or sweetmeats). "Supper" means the English "tea," saving that tea is rarely used at it, coffee being the national beverage. "Cookey" (a Christmas cake), 'doughnuts' (balls of sweetened dough, fried), "bush" (land covered with rank shrubbery), and "boss" (employer or overseer), are of Dutch parentage. "Prairie" is French, and quite a large number are Spanish, as mulatto, quadroon, Creole, filibuster, savannah, stampede. Germans, negroes and Chinese have also made their mark in the popular vocabulary. Some of the Americanisms savor of slang; thus to "run" a concern, or to run a church, is to manage its finances; and if the affair "comes to grief," as the English say. "Brother Jonathan" remarks that it has "gone up a spout;" if it is only in difficulties then he says "it is gone up a tree" (like an opossum when hunted). The "hub" or nose of a cartwheel means the center of refinement, and having been applied to Boston by one of its own citizens the name stuck. "Skedaddle" is a Scotch (or Greek) term Americanized, and is retained because of its odd sound. "Scallawag" is a very pithy designation for one who is a loafer and scamp combined. The English "chimney pot" hats are not so known in the United States, but are called "stove pipe" hats. "He's a goner" signifies that he i3 ruined in fortune and health, and "he's played out" indicates that he is without resourcethat his last card had been played and failed. "Nine cheers and a tiger' is a call for the applause to be backed by such a yell as is only heard in an American election meeting. Some of the slang, as "prospecting," "cantankerous," has been imported to England. "Sun down" and "sun up ' need no explanation, nor does the "fall" for autumn. "Varmin" means all sorts of wild animals. SALUTED BYSATAX. An Englishman Remarkable Walk Under the Influence of Religion 3Xnla. London Telegraph. At the Uxbridge petty sessions, James Rookes, 53, described as a tailor, living at No. 9 Upper North street, Caledonian road, Islington, was charged with being found wandering, suffering from religious mania, and not being under proper control. About midnight on Sunday Police Constable Richard Milton, 101 X, was on duty at Hillirgdon heath, and saw the prisoner walking toward London in a nude state. He stopped him and took him back to Uxbridge, a distance of two miles. At the police station the prisoner told the officer on duty that he was released from Colney Hatch asylum about a fortnight previously, and that on Sunday he resolved upon attending a mission meeting at Exeter. He walked from London as far as Gerrard's cross, and was there met by the devil. The devil looked into his eyes to see if he was the right man, and he (prisoner) then remembered he had something to confess. He had, however, forgotten the words he should re peat, and the only way he thought he could free himself from the evil one wa3 by walking backward for a mile naked He accordingly n L eased himself, and, leaving his clothes in the road, walked backward. After proceeding about a mile in this way. he returned for his clothes, but could not find them, and consequently de termined to walk back to London. The distance from Gerrard's cross to Hillingdon heath is six and a half miles, and the man no doubt passed through the High street, Uxbridge, which is three-quarters of a mile in length. His clothing and watch and chain were found at Gerrard's cross. He regretted having left them behind, because he felt extremely cold without them. He was subsequently seen by Mr. Roberts, the police divisional surgeon, who pronounced him to be insane. In reply to Dr. Anderson, the chairman, prisoner said he was trying to do what Jesus Christ did 1,800 years ago. , The Lord, he believed, went on a mission from London to Liverpool, and he tried to walk from London to Exeter. When at Gerrard's cross he was under the impression that he was near Slough, and, as be was wet and footsore, he thought of staying there all night. One of the punishments adopted by the Roman Catholic church for persons who did not confess a sin was to make them walk a mile the reverse way but he did not carry it out properly. Inspector Eames said he had telegraphed to the address given, but had not received an answer. The magistrates ordered the Erisoner to be removed to the union workouse at Hillingdon. Late in the day the prisoner's wife and daughter, very respectable looking persons, attended the court, and explained that he left home at 11 o'clock on the previous morning. He had been in Conley Hatch asylum for fifteen months, and was released from that kiiitution a fortnight since for a month on trial. Mrs. Rook es said it was impossible for her to keep hira under proper control. Prisoner asked his wife if the houses in Upper North street, Islington, were still in existence; his impression was that they had fallen .through a rift in the earth. The magistrates decided that he should be detained at the workhouse until the authorities at Conley Hatch had been communicated with. The San Francisco Argonaut publishes a directory of California's millionaires, giving 110 names in all. Besides these it adds: "We have several widow ladies whose dot touches the million." We omit their names in kindness, and that they may not be persecuted wi'h . attentions matrimonial. We have a number of young heiresses who have golden expectations, but as our journal has no marriage bureau connected with it, we refusse to aid them in the direction of housekeeping. We have a dozen old bachelors who make the golden scales kick the million beam, and we now distinctly threaten them, that,' unless they hasten to mate themselves, we will publish their names and leave them to the persecution of th fair sex."
