" THAT'S My HOUSE. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin is giving descriptions of the
gambling saloon in the Bay City. As a
copy of that paper for Thursday lay upon
counter, in Virginia, yesterday, a seedy chap
walked up to it and took read" All of
a sudden, he broke out That's my house,
that's my house ~ and he countered on the
paper with his fist. Several persons asked
the young man what he meant by his ex-
elamation. 1t had evidently been an invol-
untary expression, for he looked up with a
shamed face and replied Gentlemen, l
lost Sc, 900 in that house" And he walked
away sorrowing &c Gold Hill NelCs.

:. THE O1D WOMAN ''-Onee she

1.-THE OLD WOMAN. ."-Once she was
" Mother and twas Mother, I'm hun
grv," Mother, mend my jacket" " Moth
er, put up my dinner" and " Mother, " with
her loving hands, would spread the bread
and butter, and stow away the luncheon,
and sew on the great patch, her heart brim-
ming with affection for the impeyious little
curly pate that made her 50 many steps, and
nearly distracted her with his bosterous
mrth. Now she is the old woman" but
she did not think it would ever come to
that She looked on through the future
years, and saw her boy to manhood grown,
aud he stood transigured in the light Of her
own beautiful love. Never was there
more noble son than he-honored Of the
world, and the staff of her declining years.
Ave, be was her support even then but she
did not know it. She never realised that
it was her little boy that gave her strength
for daily toll, that his slender form was all
that upheld her over the brink Of L dark
despair. She only knew how she loved the
child and felt that amid the mists Of age
his love would bear her gently through It's
infrmities to the dark bai leading to the
life beyond. But the son has forgotten the
mothers tender ministrations now. Adr'tt
from the moorings oI home, he is cold, se.-
fish, heartlesS, and " Mother" has no sacred
meaning to the prodigal. She is he "old
woman" wrinkled, gray, lame and blind.
Pity her, Q Grave, and dry these tears that
roll down her fprrowed cheeks? Havo
compassion on her sensitive heart and offer
it the quiet rest, that it may forget how
much it longod to be . dear mother to the
boy it nourishcG through careless child
hood but in leturn for ali this wealth of ten
derness has only given back reproach.

WE have gained the liberation of four

The negroes when slaves supported both
themselves and their masters. and because
they are now only supporting themselves
they " are subsisting off the whites" 1t is
too bad that the niggers" cannot be forced
to work for white folks The negroes do
not ask US to work for them, and a white man

On yesterday, orr quiet little town
was throw a into state of excitement
by loud talking and the report of fire.
arms. l Immediately repaired to the
spot to see what was the matter, when,
I was startled at the sight of man
in the last agonies of death. lying near
the door of shoe shop. which was
situated between two drinking saloons.
The man died in few moments. The
Coroner impanneled a jury. and held
an inquest over the body, whose YER
dict was, " that the deceased, Huston
F. Belt, came to his death by pistol
shot from the hands of Franklin
Gipsop." fa.
Itseems from the evidence given in
the case, that Gipson had started home
and was on his way out of town,
when he was accosted by this man
Belt, near Eller's' saloon, who had
just taken sufficient of the critter to
make him quarrelsome. He told
Gipsoh that he was id back Re-
publican Ind gave him hard punch
with his fist Gipson demonstrated
with him, and told him he must not
repeat it; that, he was a Republican
and did not deny it. Belt again re-
peated that he was id black. Re-
publican, and was in favor of having
the negro children go to school
with the white children, and gave
him another severe punch with his
fist. which staggered him back. Clip
son told Belt that he must not repeat
his blows or he would hurt him, at the
same time drawing his pistol to keep
him back and commenced backing,
and warned Belt not to follow him ::
that he wanted no difficulty. Belt
commenced picking up stones
and throwing them at Gipson. Gipson
retreated, warning Belt not to crowd
en- him with the stones. Belt still
pursued him, throwing stones at him
in rapid succession. Gipson retreated
until he could retreat no farther, and
was overtakena by Belt. Gipson fred
two shots; the first missed, the Sec 1
one. took effect in his breast. passing
through the lungs and main artery,
about two inches from the heart. and
passed out and lodged in the shirt.
After he WIS shot he stiI spursued
Gipsoh with allithe ferocity of mad
bull until death Struck him, He fell
at the door of the shoe-shop above
stated. Gipson immediately repaired
to the courthouse and gave himself
mp into the hands of Justice Marable
and a 10 Sheriff Lavender, and was to-day
tried before Justices sMarable and
Hawkins. and was honorably acquit-
ted and discharged. a4
Belt was we'll known in this county
as very troublesome and dangerous
man, and had on several occasions
soughta difficulty with Gipson, on ac-
count of his political principles. He
was the copperhead bully, of Hardin
County, and generally done their
