In the afternoon, on the first day of

Here the.reporter left the jail, un-
willing to intrude oil the last hours of
the prisoner, wh-j was so soon to meet
his tSte.'
thk murderer:s dying confession
• 03* the gallows. ..
Long before 11 o'clock ibis fore'
noon the fjeedmen began arriving at
the jail,' and by noon a crowd of aboui
one thousand had collected, all eager
to catch a glimpse>0^ Jake Johnson
as he emergea:fiom the prison on bis
way to the gallows. Precisely at
noon the crowd gave way and the
prisoner appeared, attended by the
jailer, a police officer, and the sheriff,
who placed him in a hack and drove
rapidly to the scene of hanging, at
Hangman's grove, in the south"
western suburbs of * the city. , A
large number of persons on borse
back rode ont simultaneously with
the earriage co taining the prisoner.
Arriving at the gallows, newly erect-
ed under tbe funereal pines near the)
graveyard, the prisoner firmly ascend
ed tbe steps, loiiowed by the jailor,
sheriff, colored preacher and one or
two others. Whilst the jaiior adjusted
the rope, the prisoner surveyed the
assemblage with a calm eye, fid in-
quired if bis brother were present.
then addressed the vafe$ crowd,
making substantially the same state-
ment and confession • as in the morn
ing, adding that he had bad a dream
in which John Jimison or^Jules Mit-
chell bad appeared to him, pressing
him to confess.
The dream led him to confess. He
did the murder, but bad made pe
with God for it. Doc Wheeler baii
pressed him to take part in tbe deed,1
and be at first backed out, but was
finally persuaded, and did the crime
alone- He went to Loveland; pretend*
ing to boy molasses. As Loveland,
was measuring it, be (Jake) fetrackj
him. He killed Loveland, and nobody
else had anything to do with it but
him. The money was divided be
tween Doc Wheeler, Jules Mitchell
and himself. Reqaested none of the
crowd to grieve after, him. He was
going home. Wished to meet all on
canaan's happy shore-
He warned all young men like him-
self, who was aboat to appear before:
God, bat wasn't afraid of that rope ;!
asked the prayere of all pre*eut. He,
once thought he would never come
to be bung. Had this to uy, that he
hoped ho man woatd hurt a hair of
Jules Mitchel's head. The colored
minister, Rev. Sandy, Parker, then
read a hymn, which was sung by the
entire assemblage. A prayer was
then offered by the colored preacher,
after which tbe prisoner himself knelt
down and prayed- Tbe doomed mur
derer said farewell to tbe vast crowd;
bis bands were bound; the black cap
drawn over bis face by (he jailer;
the drop was let fall, and Jake John
son was launched into the ankoown
He died with but one or two strug
gles.

The Lite Wii*taininic Principle.
The vital and the muscular systems are
entirely distinct from each-' other.1 A man
may have the tirawn of a Hercules, but if
he fs; deficient in vital energy he will not
wear as well, or last as long or be as healthy
and happy while he does last, as the man
of ordinary, or even of slender build, who
possesses a larger share of this animating
principle. One of the greatest recommen-
dations of that pure vegetable invigoraut,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is that it in«
creases tbe vital force of the system. No
medicine can double the volume of a man's
muscle, or thicken and vulcanize bis thews
and sinews; but Hostetter's Bitters has an
effect much more important. Its use pro-
motes constitutional vigor. It reinforces
by jptbe life-power, of which bone and einew and
muscle are merely the instruments, holding
the same relation to it that machinery does
to steam. Let the slight and apparently
fragile take heart, they may hare more
stamina, though far less physical strength,
than tbe broad shouldered athletes they res
gard with envy. To restore, to sustain, to
increase this staminal principle which,
when in fall supply, is the source of health
and tbe best guarantee of longevity, is a
special property of the famous restorative
It is not only a specific for dyspepsia, bil-
iousness, intermittent fevers, constipation,
&c., and a preventive of all diseases of a
malarious character, but the best of all

The Wwk'i Seiap, '
The early part of the week just
past, war remarkable for nothing but
hot ffeatber, tbe usual summer dull-
Less, want of animatnMriu business,
street talk* a scrimmage or two, some
police arrests, and so on. Beyond
these first days of the week might
scarcely be deemed worthy of men
tion. But the last seven days did not
end as they began.
On Friday occurred tbe execu
tion of tbe criminal, Jake Jobnvon,
for tbe murder of B. W. Loveland
in December last, the banging hav-
ing been witnessed by about 5000 per
sons, mostly freedmau—some from
the Brazos aod other distant points
This was tbe event of tbe week, aud
one that will long be temembered by
tbe fre 'dmen of this city. >
Tbe evening of the same day of the
hanging witnessed tbe obseqnies of
our lamented IgBpw-citizen. Capt. D.
C. Farmer, whose death is a real loss
to the community.
Commercially there has been little
animatiou iu business circles, e\en
gold speculators having bad a c om-
paratively quiet time of it
During the week there has betn
enough soda water drauk and ice
cream devoured to render the parched
inhabitants o^ Morocco or Ftzzan
comfortable.
