the doctor, who saw that the abrupt re-

for long years had subsisted almost upon

B@r One of the ostensible reasons given
by radicals for subjecting the South to a
military despotism is the alleged preva-
lence of crime in that section. Now we as
sumo and allege, without fear of success
full contradiction, that crime of every hue
and grade, from murder and rape down to
petty larceny, is as prevalent in any North
ern state as in any Of the ten prescribed
states Of the South, and the statistics of
crime in both sections prove it, not only at
present. but for many years Of the past.
Hence, there is no real foundation for the
criminal subterfuge of the radicals, and
they might as we'll acknowledge it at once,
that the only reason why they subject the
South to military despotism is that the
radical North means to govern and control
the starving South, and to benefit by this
relation

Anecdotes of Artemus Ward.
The Cleveland Herald relates the foil

The Cleveland Herald relates the follow
ing anecdotes of Artemus Ward:
A curious adventure befel him on his
way north, and we give it as told to us by
him self. In a village in Southern Ohio,
Browne and fellow ''jour" printer found
themselves completely strapped" end
with no prospect of obtaining work or help
of any kind. Browne companion hit on a
lucky idea. Browne was to remain quiet
at the hotel while his companion made &C
quaintances outside, and by his remarks led
the people to believe that Fletcher Web
ster was stopping in town. The scheme
succeeded. The magnates of the town
hastily gathered and paid their respects to
Fletcher Webster, who soon found him
self holding levee, attended by nearly all
the population A complimentary supper
was given, and presents forced upon him.
When the pair took their departure, a day
or two after, the landlord refused to take
any pay, csteeming the honor of entertain
ing near relative of the ''Great Expound-
err to be more than an equivalent for the
board and lodging furnished. Unhappily,
however, the trick was discovered soon after
the pair Of friends left the place, warrant
was issued, and they were pursued by the
constable and landlord. The tugitives
seized hand car, and attempted to escape
by IFS means on the track, but were over
hauled, brought back and locked up The
Justice, however, either found the law had
no hold on the practical iokers, or thought
the whole affair good joke, for they were
allowed to go free.
After he had became somewhat famous
and after twice making the tour of the lead
ing cities as lecturer, he went to California,
where he was again successful. Returning
across the plains he stopped at Salt Lake
City, and was well received by the Nor
mons. Here he perpetrated another prac-
teal joke. He and his agent, Kingston,
went out to an indian hut in the suburbs,
and remained all night The next morn.
ing friend from the city joined them, and
they all returned to their hotel Tele-
graphic dispatches were sent, by direction
OF Kingston, to all parts Of the United
States, announcing the capture of Browne
by Indians, his rescue by party of friend.
from Salt Lake City, and his dangerou:
illness from the effects Of the conflict.

SUPERHUMAN PERsEvERANCE.-Ani in
stance of almost superhuman endurance
and perseverance occurred in San Matoe
county, California, short time since. A
wood chopper was caught by red wood
tree, three feet in diameter, which fell
across both legs. A fierce storm was pro-
crossing, and through the live long night
the sufferer rnadly shrieked for assistance,
only to be answered by the hooking woods
that howled through the surrounding for
est. The next morning the sufferer per-
ceived his axe within reach, and hope
sprang into his heart. Lying PROSTATE on
his back, he commenced the weary task of
chopping the tree in twain. At each blow
of the axe the huge tree settled closer upon
bis limbs, crushing them almost to jelly,
but still he persevered, and after two days
of unremitted toll his task was accomplish
ed. Mangled and crushed as he was, he
crawled to a distant cabin. Medical aid
was called and both legs amputated. In
credible as it seems, the man is likely to re-
cover.

Mollie Trussell-A Slight Change Of
Mind

Mollie Trussel, lately pardoned out of
prison by the Governor of Illinois for the
killing Of her paramour, recently gave it out
that she would 60 and sin no more by
entering a Convent. But it seems by the
following from the Chicago Times that her
heart failed her when it came to the
''pinch:'
"Men and women since the fall of our
first parents have been big with noble re-
solves and then dropped suddenly back into
precisely the case in regard to Mollie Trus-
convent in New York. She arrived in New
York and suddenly changed her mind, if a
change did not take place before she left
Chicago. About three weeks since one of
her former sisters in SIM received letter
from the fair ''penitent" in which she de-
clared herself determined to embark for
California by the next steamer, which
would sail on the following day-and she has
gone In this letter she furthermore stated
that, until day or two before leaving Chi
cago, she was firmly resolved to enter con-
vent. but the nearer she got to the sacred
walls the less she felt inclined to be immur-
ed, and at last she concluded not to enter
at all. What she intends to do in Califor-
MIA has not yet transpired- can be safe
ly left to the Imagination of the reader
She also expressed a determination never
face hereafter the ladies who had interested
themselves so much in her behalf. On
embarking for California she had in her
possession about $60O-the remaining por-
ton of the amount she received for her pawn
ed jewelry. Although Moliie got relig-
ion, it appears she did not keep it long. y

LIFE IEsuEAEcE.-In looking. over our en-
changes we are pleased to see several conmencito-
ry notices Of the North American Life Insurance
Company one of the most practicable and reliable
institutions Of its kind in the country We con-
slider this Company very fortunate in securing the
services Of COL Albert s. Bayless as their General
Agent for Tennessee, and we predict for the Com
pany brilliant success under his leadership. The
faith Of the State of New York is pledged that for
the payment Of each registered policy issued By
North American, making it as safe and more pro-
ftable investment than U S. bond all restrictions
on travel and occupation have been done away
with by this Company. We are pleased to learn
that agency will be established in this city,
and advise our friends to examine the policy and
rules Of this Company before eecting an insurance
on their lives.

this Institution came of last week. We had not

Ing that the arrangement of the school had been in
good hands. We were present at the exhibition on
Friday night when densely crowded house testi-
fed to the interesting proceedings Of the occasion
The whole proceedings were to us very highly In
teresting, and we can say to those who were not
present that they have lost treat. The throng Of
happy school girls with their smiling faces; the
sweet strains Of music, both vocal and instrument
tall the recitation Of pieces well selected and well
spoken, and in fact the whole exercises we're con-
Quoted in a manner, Of which those concerned may
well feel proud The school during ts last session,
under the supervision of Prof. Parkhurst and his
efficient assistants has been very successful as it
certainly deserved to be. We hope to see it more
extensively patronized in the future, than it has
been at any time in the past and that the friends
Of education in this vicinity, may aid literally in
making it what it should be- first class school for
young ladies. 1t is already good school, but if
patronized il should be, its managers will be en-
abled to make it still better.

FIRE DIsrRICT.-A short time since our city an

District, We believe, and in that boundary no wood

to be built on Gay street or on Market Square
This We believed to be good movement and yet
believe it to be so. But we sec a frame building
going up on Gay street next to Sheppard Il Rem
shaws furniture ware-room. IF this is the way the
law Is to be enforced it looks if it viii be prac-
tcally no law at all. We presume, Of course, that
the party building this house, petitioned the Board
and got their consent before commencing his or
her house but is it not establishing bad precedent
TO thus allow buildings Of this character to go up
ON Gay street. No one who views the matter right
can object TO such an ordinance and every ono who
feel interest in the safety Of tho city from the
uyagcs Of fire. wishes 10 see 80 enforced We fear
a bunder has been committed in this matter and
sincerely hope a similar one win not be allow

who owns property on Gay strector Market Square,
or elsewhere, is to be damaged by strictly adhering
