THE LATE SENATOR HILL.
Hon. Benjamin 11. Hill, late I nited
; States Senator from the State of Geor
; gia, was perhaps the ablest and best
iof all the Senators from the Southern
I States. lie died at his home, Atlanta,
' Georgia, on the 16th in»t. of that terrible
' d'sease cancer, which was seated in
his mouth. The following is the
simple story of his li e as given by
himself and which we find in the
Philadelphia Press:
HILL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
Three years ago Senator lien Hill
sent the following terse autobiography
t" his friend \V. 11. A\ bite, of Atlanta:
I was born in Jasper county, Georgia,
September 14, 1X23. I was the
seventh of nine children and the fifth
of six brothers. My father was a
small farmer, owning a few slaves
unly. All his sons, therefore did all
the farm work, and all his daughters
did all the household work. My
mother cut and made the clothes
we wore, and most of them were spun
and wove on the plantation. I work
ed on the farm from the time I was
eight years old, and black and white
came and wentjtlike in all work. My
father was a man of common educa
tion, but was extensively read, aud of
great influence in the neighborhood.
When I was ten years old (1833) my
father moved to the county of Troup,
a new county, aud his lands were all
in the woods, and I helped clear them.
I walked the entire distance from the
old to the new home, over one
hundred miles, helping to drive the
cattle. My father would always have
a school house, a church and a tem
perance society npar hi 3 house. He
was always trustee of the school, class
leader and steward in the church and
President of the temperance society.
Some of my earliest and sweetest recol
lections are connected with these in
stitutions and my father's zeal in
them. The black people always at
tended church with the whites; and all
of us, black and white, were encour
aged to become members at very
earlv ages. The rule was to work on
the farm until the prop was made, and
then go to school until it was gathered.
After the the crop was gathered, go to
schoool again until planting time for
another crop.
This was my life till I wns sixteen
years old. I was then continued at
School all the time with a view to a
collegiate education. My father was
not able to send all his children to
college; only one besides myself de
sired a college course, and I a.one
graduated. After I was pronounced
prepared to enter college, mv father de
cided he was not able to seud me. A
family consultation was held. My
mother insisted on my going. She
bad alway3 had what we called her
"patch," which was near the house,
and was cultivated by her house
hands when not needed at housework.
This patch had always been my
mother's pin money, amounting from
SSOO to SIOO. My mother said she
would contribute this to my col
lege expenses and would make my
clothes at home, besides. An old aunt
of my mother's, who lived ;n a small
house in my father's yard, and had
some means (small) and no children,
agreed to contribute as much more.
My father agreed to contribute the
balance, and I promised that all my
college expenses of any kind should
not exceed S3OO per annum. I prom
ised my mother I would take the first
honor in my class. I redeemed this
promise. The proudest day of my
life was when I wrote to my parents
that 1 had taken the first honor in
my class and all the honors of the liter
ary society of which I was a member.
HOW I BECAME A SLAVE HOLDER.
Tbe cook, Mariah , came by mother,
and was near her ago. She also raised
nine children, just the number my
mother raised. One of tbe cook's
child: cn from birtb was assigned to
one of my mother's children. From
our childhood we played together,
worked together, aud would tight for
each ether agaiaat all the world.
Stronger ties than these were never
formed. It was alliance offensive and
defensive.
I married in 1845. My wife had
seven slaves, large aud small, left her
by her father, who died when she was
fin infant. We thqs began life with
eight slavc3. When my father and
mother died, tUe slaves selected their
owner among the children, and I bail
to take two more, who would go with
no other child, and paid for them. My
wife had one other brother left an
orphan <vith her. He married several
yi ars after v. e tii 1, and determined not t:>
keep his slaves. They were not wil
ling to go out of the family, and I
bought them- I now had fourteen
slaves. I was a professional man
liviug in town and did not need them.
I was not willing to hire them out.
The result was, 1 bought some land
near the town and moyed on it with
tbe slaves, and told them to support
themselves under my protection. Tbe
slaved increased and married wives
and husbands, and raised children,
and to keep them together 1 bought
them all. I also bought several others
who had to be sold, and selected me as
their owner. In a few years my small
place was insufficient for them, and
yathev than part with them 1 bought a
larger plantation in the country and
placed them on it, and removed with
my family l>ack to town. I was thus
a slave holder from 1815 to 1865, just
twenty years My slaves increased
from eight to sixty-seven and during
all that time there were but two deaths
smong them. I realized my profit
from them, and all of them will testify
that I cared better for thorn than they
have been ablo to care for themselves
'since freedom came."

a iticipating an increased demand.
This Mr. .\iartin, however, claims that
the-00,000,000 American people of the
• present day drink less whisky than
the 20,000,000 people did thirty year
j ago. This reduction of the average
and the total consumption of spirits,
r ; he insists, is the result of the introduce
tion of lager beer as a general beverage
e of the Americans, and he pronounces
lager beer is the worst enemy tLal
. whisky has tocontud with.

Details of a terrible tripple murder
comes from Mt. Pulaski, Illinois,
Charles McMahon, a farmer living
near that place, and two men in his
employ being the victims. McMahon
was a batchelor with a large fortune.
He did his own housekeeping, John
Carlock, aged eighteen, and Bob
Mathery, aged twenty, being the only
other men about the place. Both
men were quiet and industrious, and
like McMahon muph esteemed. They
were last seen on Thursday, of last
week, stacking wheat. The neigh
bors, observing'their absence, seaic'itd
for them on Saturday and Sunday, and
finally found all jhree bodies festering,
and offensively odorious, iq the rank
weeds about the house. McMahon's
throat was cut from ear to ear, the
head almost severed from the body,
the gash extending clear down the
spinal column. There was no shape
to the battered bead about which a
cloth had been tipd. The bodies of
Carlock and Mathery were covered
with clotted gore, their throats cut
as their master's had been. The limbg
were bound securely with twine taken
from the reaping machine. They
were gagged and blindfolded with
cloths. Everything pointed to the
most fiendish determination and de
liberate purpose. The house was
ransacked, and $2,000 in money taken
and household goods broken.
