FRED DoJaLAss DAUGHTER FOR SALE.-We
find the following in the Memphis Avalanche:
Among the servants offered for sale by Mr..
Forest, of this city, is girl who is known TO
be the daughter of the notorious Fred Douglas
the free niger Abolilionst She is said to be
ofthe class known among the dealers as a
"likely girl" and is a native Of North Carroll.
ma. She remembers her parent very wildly,
l,nving seen him during his late visit to the old
North State. As Fred is amply able to make
the outlay, he should either purchase his own
flesh and blood from servitlde, or cease his
shrelts over an institution which possesses
such untold horrors.

Editor Dallas Herald On Sunday night
last, our town was a scene OF another bloody
murder. The Grocery filled almost to over.
flowing with drunken soldiers, when general
row commenced, which brought into rcquiS.
ton, knives, rocks and pistols. During the
fracas several were badly beaten, one or two
wounded with knife,s aud another, whose
name was Dergio, killed, by shot immediate
~ through the heart; he received also two 9TH
or Shots one in the back aud one in the arm
A Coroner's irquest WIS held on the morning
following, which resulted in The implication of
one B. r. Suble,t, private Of F. Company, and
II. Campbell, Seargant Of G. Company. Both
were Immediately arrested under warrant, and
taken before Justice William Burkett, for ex.
animation. Having undergone separate ex.
animation, SuLlett was acquitted on Yesterday,
there being no "probQJle" cause shown from
The evidence that he was the perpetralor. The
examination of Campbell is yet b ing conduct
ed by Messrs La,imer and Woolforli, for the
prosecuton, and Wilhers anJ Palmer, for he

Singular Affair--A man Falls in
Love with His own Daughter
Grand Dennucment.

Love with Ills own Daughter
Grand DenOuement.
Some fifteen years ago man
named George Bristol lefs this sity
for the shores of the Pacific. At
the time he left he had a wife and
one child, the latter only three years
old. They resided in The town of
Waterloo. At that time bis wife
and child were living with her faith
.er. Soma two years after the faith
Ier and mother Of the woman died,
their estate was disposed of to salts
fly mortgages, and Mrs. Bristol and
her child we're thrown upon the cold
charities Of the world for a living
She was very feeble in health, aud Of
course was unable to take care Of
herself.
The mother and child came to this
city, where they lived for five years,
at the expiration Of which time the
mother died and the girl was left a.
lone in the world, to do as best she
could. Being about 10 years old,
and a smart, active, good looking girl,
she soon found d situation in re-
spectacle family. Hrre she remain
ed until she vas fifteen years old,
when she bound herself TO milliner.
She served three years at that bust
ness, and had become mistress of her
iproftssion Now the strangest por-
ton OF the revelation is to be told
Tue gih is now over Is years old,
land perfect model Of her sex.
During this long interval it must
be remembered that the girl lost all
TRACK of her father. Her beauty at
itracted the attention and admiration
of a spruce looking gentleman vhe
met her on Broadway. He was a
mau Of about 40 years, but bis ap-
Ipearanca did not indicate that he had
lever seen over % summers. An ac-
quaiutanee was made between her aud
the gentleman above alluded to, and
a final engagement entered into Tor
marriage. Yhe day Was set and all
necessary arrangements made for the
ceremony.
On the appointed day the pair, ac-
companied by their respective friends,
met for the purpose Of having the
plighted ones joined in wedlock.-
Just beieIe the minister commenced
the marriage rights, an old couple
entered. They we're formerly neigh
bors TO the Bristol family, and had
witnessed the giIl grow up from in
, fancy, and were now anxious 20 see
the choice she had made in partner
for life. Imagine the surprise Of al
about when the old couple, above re.
/. ierred to, recognized in the imam o.
: The girls heart her own legitimate
father.
For a moment all was amazemeDt
and sadness, bot on the state o
7 things being fully realized, thu sceDt
5 turned 10 ono Of joy. An absen
D father had discovered a lost daughter
and the assembled ihrong Of friend,
were highly delighted that the atlai
had resulted Is it did. The love tina
had before burned SO bright
! ly between the twain, had now be
: some flame as inextinguisbable a
, the fires of esuyius. A queer worlC
this.
