A SYMPATHETIC KnrrnoKrLN AnRoIrLY

A SYMPATHETIC KENTucKIAN ADRo1TLY
SwINDLED-GENERos1Ty CosTLY LUXURY.
A man named r. w. Mcdaniel, who resides
at Munfordsville, Hart County, KY, was
adroitly swindled yesterday morning by
couple of well-dressed men whom he met on
board the Jacob Strdder, under the following
circumstances One of the men had bill,
ptrporting TO come from the Spencer House
for board, which the second party was una
Bile 10 pay. Mr.. Mcdaniel was accosted by
name, by one of the swindlers, who stated
that he resided in Louisville, and while on
his way home his sister, who accompanied
him, had fallen sick while at the Spencer,
and detained him SO long that he had become
embarrassed for funds.
He now wished to leave the city on the
Strdder, but was unable to pay his hotel bill,
and he therefore proposed to Mr.. McD. to
advance him the amount of the bill, $40, and
take his watch as security until the boat
reached Louisville, at which time the money
would be refunded.
The story of the sick girl and the young
mans apparent truthfulness, reused the sym
pathies Of the generous-hearted Kentuckian,
and he readily agreed to relieve the young
man from his embarrassment. The bill was
paid and the psendo-clerk took his depart
ure. 1850. ..-..U
After a short time spent in conversation
with Mr.. Mcdaniel, the young man left for
the ostensible purpose Of bringing his sister
to the boat, but, as might have been ex-
pected, has not since been seen. When the
steamer was about leaving the wharf the
Kentuckian told the Captaina sick girl would
soon be down from the Spencer House, and
requested him to wait, but after he had
heard the circumstances, the trick was dis
covered. The watch proved to be entirely
worthless, and the boat, with the chagrined
but sympathetic victim, left the city.

ANUNEXAMPLEDT TRAGEDY.-AG Gates On. c.
correspondent of the Petersburg Express gives
the following account of one of the most brutal
and desperate tragedies ever put on record
A man named Jackson accused his neighbor
Davis Of having stolen some Of his hogs; and
on last Friday evening, in walking around his
farm, he discovered three of Davis's children
on his land, whereupon he carried one of them
home with him. The two other children re-
turned home and told their parents what had
happened. Inluriated, they armed themselves
with guns, axes and knives, and soon presented
themselves at Jackson's house, where a general
fight ensued, in which both men, women, and
children participated. They shot until their
ammunition gave out, and then closed in with
axes, knives and gun-barrels. During the
shooting, son of Jackson's, mere boy, was
killed by lit is thoughD son of Davis also a
lad. Seven of the party were dangerously
wounded-one of the women having received
broken arm, and, it is said, .fjty buch-shot! J.!
From all accounts, they fought as long as they
COULD and quit with mutual consent.
The surviving parties have been arrested,
and placed in the county Jail to await trial.

REMARKABLE CASE OF SYNCoPE.-'THE SUP
POSED DEAD RETURNS TO LIFE.-A most re-
markable case Of suspended animation, which
recently occurred in house on Poydras street,
near the market, has thrown the neighborhood
into state Of great excitement. young wo-
man was lying very i'll with dangerous ailment,
from which she was not expected to recover,
and her friends took turns in sitting up with
her, constantly fearing her death, as she was re-
duced painfully, and her physician did not ex-
press hope of saving her. On Friday evening
a sister and young girl, who were sitting by
her bedside sewing while the invalid had been
supposed asleep, after having taken quieting
potion. were suddenly alarmed at noticing the
death-hke appearance of the sufferer. They
laid their hands upon her, and found the body
growing cold. Holding a small mirror over

of dissolution, the grief-stricken watchers were
Convinced against their hope that the soul of
the suffering one had taken its peaceful flight.
Obtaining the assistance of other friends, all
the sad preparations for the funeral were COM
menced, and several of the neighbors who were
apprized of the death came in to sit up with the
corse. The undertaken who had been sent for
arrived at the same time, and the young girl
who had been sitting up with the invalid was
sent to the chamber of death to arrange it neat
ly previous to the entrance of the undertaken
and the friends. All were Mortified and alarm
ed to hear succession of piercing shrieks from
the young girl and, upon hurriedly entering
the room, they found her lying insensible upon
the floor, and the supposed corpse sitting up in
the bed asking in weak and tremulous voice
what was the matter. The invalid had only
sunk into a syncope or trance, resembling death,
and when she awoke and found no one near her
she sat up in bed to look around for them, at
which moment the young girl entered, and see
ing the supposed corpse sitting up and fix
staring gaze upon her she gave way to terror
and tainted away. Restoratives were applied
to the invalid, and we are happy to learn that
she has been improving since.--Neo Orleans

PRINCE EDWARD, the fourth son of King
George the Third, and grandfather of the Prince
of Wales, visited Boston in February, 1894.
1t was not then imagined that any of his fam
lily would reach the British throne, as the Prince
of Wales, afterwards George the Fourth, the
Duke of York. and the Duke of Clarence after
wards William the Fourth, were his Seniors
The Prince was twenty-seven years old when he
was in Boston, He arrived here February 9th,
1874, and sailed February 10th. The only
mention of his presence made in the Indepen-
dent Chronicle, one of the papers of the town,
occurred in paragraph apologizing for the
briet report of the foreign news contained in
the sheet, and stating that the English papers
were loaned to the Prince, who carried them
away with him

out of which they derived the authority for their

love to man, ttachment-reverence, almost
for the purest and racest English that can be

THE SPIRIT OF AUTUMN.

A Spirit haunts the years last hours,
Dwelling amid these ycllowng bowers;
To himself he talks;
For at eyentidc, listening earnestly,
At his work you may hear him sob and sigh
In the walks;
Earthward he boweth the heavy stalks
OF the moulderng flowers;
Heavily hangs the broad sunnowcr
Over its grave i the earth so chilly;
Heavily hangs the hollyhock,
Heavily hangs the tiger-lily.
The mir is damp, and hu'hed, md close,
As Il sick mans room whe'hc takcth rcpose
An hour before death;
My very heart faints aud my whole soul griovcs
At the moist rich smell OF the rottiug leaves,
And the breath
Of the fading edges Of box beneath,
And the years last rose.
Heavily hangs the broad sunilowcr
Over its grave i the earth so chilly;
Heavily hangs the hollyhock,
Heavily hangs the tiger-lily.
