WHITE PEOPLE SOLD AS SLAvEs.-The
Abbeville (Ala) Banner says that Patience
Hicks, young woman about II years of age,
who was held as slave by John Guilford, a
citizen of Henry county under a bill of sale
made TO him by one James C. Wilson, was
brought before Judge Williams under writ of
habeaS corpus, sued out by Mrs. Casa Ann
Hicks, the mother of said girl, who arrived in
the town of Abbeyille on Tuesday, the 9th
inst. On the trial of the case it was proved
that Wilson went to the house of Mrs. Hicks,
in Columbus, Georgia, about the first of last
March, where he remained sick for several
weeks. On his recovery, he desired to marry
the young lady, and finding that her mother
was opposed to their marriage, he stole her
away and brought her to the house of the
Rev. John Guilford, to whom he sold her for
slave. On his return to Columbus, he pro
cured her brother, boy about Is, years old,
and sold him to a gentleman in Georgia The
girl has worked on the plantation and is cou-
sideraby sun-bnrnt, which makes her appear
rather dark. The girl Patience had an infant
daughter. The case was tried before Judge
Williams of the Probate Court, and the moth
er and child were released from the services
OF Guiltord. The Banner states, however,
that the counsel for Guilford have taken the
case to the Supreme Court, not with the ex-
pectation of again enslaving the girl. but with
the expectation Of clearing Guilford of the
cost imposed upon him by the Judge of Pro.
bate.

ushing in front of the engine, caught her child
and fell over the opposite side. The engine
brushed her clothes as she fell, and passed on
short distance before it could be stopped.
The conductor, Capt. Phillips, ran to the
place, and found the mother had tainted, but
both mother and child were saved. He took
the child in his arms, and, restoratives being
used, the mother soon revived. Who can tell
the joy of that mother to know her child was
saved? Had she hesitated a moment, or have
been only second later, both mother and child
must have been crushed beneath the wheels of
the engine. We did not learn her name, but
whoever she is, she is brave and heroic wo-

FLoRENCE-IHness Of Mrs. Brouning
vate letters from Tuscany speak of the alarm
ing illness of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the
greatest living poetess of England. With that
affinity for the land of song which belongs to
the poetic temperament, her sympathies be-
came deeply enlisted in the recent struggle for
independence. How intelligent as well as sin
cere is her enthusiasm, may be realized by
perusal of casa Guidi Windows s"-the poem
wherein both the spirit and events of the rev.
oution of 1848 are so eloquently recorded.
The sudden peace and treaty which dashed to
earth the full-fedged hopes of Italy, aggrava-
ted Mrs. Browning's indisposition, and for
weeks her situation was most critical a So
jouIn at Sienna, where the mountain air is
pure and bracing, has, however, produced
favorable change, and she is now pronounced
out of danger. Meantime at Florence, the
free movement is nobly manifest; represen-
tative assembly convenes daily in the old Pa
lazzo Vecchio-not so occupied since the days
of the Italian Republic. The closed portals
and abandoned sentry y-boxes of the Pitt Pal
ace yet proclaim the flight of Leopold and
the Monitore contains articles which, for wise
patriotism and free utterance, vie with the best
journals of England and America.-Boston

CIvILIzING UNDER DIFFIcULTIEs. "A
Southern gentleman lately related an anecdote
which would indicate that some of the newly
imported Africans may require more efficient
instruments for their training and civilization
than have usually been relied on for imbuing
our Southern born negroes with the virtues of
activity and fidelity. A planter ordered two
of these sons of the East, who are uncorrupt-
ed by the strange abolitionism which pervades
some of the plantations. AS they entered the
yard, a bloodhound, one of the instructors and
police of the establishment regarding them as
intruders, leaped upon one of them. The
fellow was large, muscular negro, and be-
longed to a tribe who sharpened their teeth
Nothing daunted by the attack, he entered
upon the contest with the greatest zeal So
successfully did he use his fists and heels and
pointed teeth that the fierce dog was obliged
to cry for mercy. The animal even skunk
away under building, but the negro crept in
after him, dragged him out and would have
killed him if he had not been stopped. The
astonished planter looked upon his pounded
and manned bloodhound and then upon the
triumphant African, reflected moment, and
gave orders for this new couple to be marched
away from his premises forthwith. He dared
not trust the cvilizing influences which he
had at his disposal.-Proo. Journal.

A NOBLE MoTmER-Ndrow Escape.-As
the morning train from this place to Chicago
came near Rock River bridge, on Monday last
the engineer, Robert Waugh, discovered lit
tie girl at play on the track. He sounded the
whistle at its highest sharpest note, and used
every possible effort to stop the train. The
little child kept moving along on the track, ap-
parently frightened by the whistle, but did not
leave the track. The mother of the child, who
lived in house near the bridge, seeing her
child in danger, made aspiring to save her, and

VIOLENT RIOT AT A CIRCUS.-A dread iul
riot occurred at Lent's Circus, in Paterson, N.
j., last week. 1t appears that the seats and
all available places were occupied, and the
proprietors closed the doors. A gang of loaf
ers broke through the tent, and in their scram-
BILE for seats, caused the uprights to give way
bringing down mass of people with a crash.
A rush was made for the ring, and for while
prevented the continuance of the performance.
The spectators were besought to go outside of
the ring and all but about dozen determined
rowdies acquesced. The manager informed
the crowd that it would be impossible to COLI
tinue the acting unless they helped him to keep
the ring clear, but his remonstrances had little
effect, and men, and boys of IA or l5, were al
lowed to continue running across near the
center pole, until at last they occasioned a
horse to shy, and one Of the riders with child
to fall to the ground The company asked
the crowd to reason, and allow them to pro-
sceed, and finding it impossible without danger
to both spectators and actors, reluctantly an
nounced the close of the performances.
This afforded a pretext for scene of law
lessness and rowdyism and, under the pre-
tense that they wanted their money back, an
attack was made upon the tent and property
of the company. The dressing-tent was en-
tirely cut to pieces, the trunks and boxes were
broken open, and much Of the clothing and
"aruropes OF tne company stolen portlon
OF the tent was let down for the exit of the
audience, and women went screaming over the
fields, some of them almost frantic, while the
actors themselves and members of the troupe
rode of toward their hotel, leaving their prop
erty to be protected by the regular authorities.
The sheriff was present, but was unable to
quell the disturbance.
An attempt was made to cut down the big
pole and let the canvas down upon the men,
women, and children but officers rushed to
the defence of the pole, and declared if it was
approached it would be over their bodies, while
Morrow was forced to hold revolver pointed
toward the rowdies In this way only was
the main tent protected.

DOWN BY THE RIVER,


BY NANCY A. w. PRIEST.
Madge and Nellie and Kate and
Wandered down to the rivers side
And watched the wayering shadows iy
Like gliding barques oer its level tide
And many merry song we sung,
And many joyous tale we told
Till the air with our ftful laughter rung,
And the echo replied from the forest old.
Memory tells me that they were fair
Madge, with her clustering nut-brown curls
And Nellie and Kate with their sunny hair,
And lips like rose-buds, and teeth like pearls.
Rocking to rest in their sweet content,
The birds their heaven taught vespers sung,
And over our heads like gorgeous tent
The crimson curtains of sunset hung.
The lilies lifted their queenly heads
And swayed with the current to and fro,
And the wild flowers leaned DER their grassy beds
And gazed at themselves in the wave below.
Now, as then, on the level tide
The crimson stains of the sunset lie,
But we roam more by the river side,
Madge and Nellie and Kate and L.
go alone to the church-yard gray,
Where three white stones stand side by side
And memory carries my thoughts away
10 the dismal day when our loved ones died.
Silently passed they, one by one,
AS stars fade out from the sky above
In the glorious beams of the rising sum-
All, death were the end of earthly love!

The Reception of Napoleon at
Bordeaux.

A Correspondent of the New York Herald
writes from Paris:
have just returned from Bordeaux, where
l had gone to witness the grand reception to
be extended to the Emperor and Empress by
the citizens of that town. Upon my arrival
l'tound the city in a state of indescribablc
agitation. On all sides arches Of triumph.
banners and oriflammes wvre being erected
snd hung out, and men, women and children
were rushing about with luStrcs, lamps and
draperies. At the Municipal Palace gor
geously furnished apartments were being
rendered still more so, and the river steamer,
that were to take the imperial party on an ex-
cursion to the mouth of the Garonne were
being painted and beautifully decorated. All
was animated excitement and preparation.-
AT six o'clock the imperial train arrived at
the depot. Soldiers of the line and the Gardc
National formed lines from the railway to the
Pasais MuHicipale. A detachment of Cent
Gardes, in their gala uniform, was in atten.
dance to precede the cortege In the recep-
ton room of the depot, which was splendidlv
decorated with velvet and glded hangings.
were the Project, the Mayor of the city and
the military commanders. | had obtained
permission to enter the building, and had
thus fine opportunity of witnessing the GER
emony.
The Emperor with tn, Empress on his arm
entered the room; drums were beating. the
populace outside was shouting, and I am
sorry to say the ram was pouring down with
such violence that / did not hear word of
the short address that the Mayor made to
the imperial visitors. The Emperor answered
few kind words, and then the party enter
ell the carriages that were to convey them to
the Palais Municipale. 1t was raining with
violence have rarely seen euualled, but
the Empress kept bowling to the shouting
multitudes that ran alongside, as the car
rlages went alta foot pace through the streets.
Her dripping bonnet and wet shoulders made
me feel sorry for her Majesty, whose kind
ness of heart always makes her forgetful of
SELF Women and children dashed along
through the mud and rain, and loud hearty
shouts of "Vive Emperor" "viverImpera-
trice, give lie Prince Imperial" were being
constantly vociferated by the half drowned
crowd. | do not doubt that the imperial par
ty were exceedingly rejoiced to get under
shelter of a roof .t..
must say that during this inarropos
shower the illuminations cut a most sorry
figure, while the banners and oriAammes
hung predant, dripping and discolored
