IT, The Meridian Ifercuru has tb,

HE~ The Meridian Hucury has tho
story Of horrible affair that lately
occurred in Jones county.
1t appears that in the absence of a
white citizen from his house, negro
fellow went to it, and, in presence Of
a negro woman, carried of to tho
woods the wife of the gentleman, and
there outraged her person.
Returning to his" home, the hus-
band inquired for his wife, when the
negro woman vaguely answered that
she had gone off.
He thought no more of it until to.
wards night, when, his wife not re-
turning, he became alarmed, and u
horrible suspicion come upon him
chat something terrible had befallen
her. He seized his gun, and. pre-.
Sentlng 1t at the negro woman,
threatened her, that he would shoot
her dead unless She told him all
about his wife. The woman seeing
determination in him to execute his
threat, disclosed what she knew,
y negro man had been there and
torclbIy carried her off in the woods.
The antic husband went to tho
woods in search, following the direc.
ton given by the woman. His search
was successful. He found her tied
hard and fast to a tree, where the
negro man, more merciiul than is
usual with his race. had left her aIire
after he had ravished her to the full
qualification Of his lustful desires.
The outraged husband, instead Of
leaving the pursuit of the " citizen
who had wronged him, to the officers
OF the law, and his punishment to
the o RS, ventured upon the dan.
gerouS ground of taking vengeance
IN his own hands. He summoned
some of his neighbors. and pursued
with dogs. They caught the poor
creature, and the story Is, they ac-
tually atiHRed him a'jre, and made 4
clean job of If. 1t is too horrible to
believe, but that is the way it comes

COSTUMES OF BELLIES AMI BEIUY. A
HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

The following pithy description of
young bellies and beauX of century
ago will compare not unfavorablv
with their counterparts Of the pres
ent day, who may be seen perambu-
lating from morn till night. AS this
description is, however, more appli-
cable to bridal occasion, it will not
suit the present in every particular.
TO begin with the lady:
Hur locks were strained upward,
over an immense cushion, that sat
like an incubus upon her head, and
plastercd over with pomatum, and
then sprinkled with a shower of
white powder. The height of this
tower was somewhat over d foot. One
single white rose bud lay on its top.
like an eagle on haystack. Over
her neck and bosom was folded a
lace hankerchief, fastened in trout
by bosom pin rather larger than a
dollar, containing her grandfather's
miniature set in virgin gold. Her
airy form Was bIaced up in a satin
dress, the sleeves as tight as the
natural skin Of the arm, with waist
formed by a bodice wOrl outside,
from whence the skirt flowed off. and
was diatended at the top by an am-
pie hoop Shoes Of white kid, peak
ed toes and heels Of two or three
inches elevation, encased her feet.
and glittered with spangles as her
pedal members peeFed timidly out.

GRACEFUL CONDUCT.
The special Washington correspon-
dent Of the St. Louis Republican, in
his dispatch of the 10th says:
Mr.. Butler jumped up very quickly
and delivered speech of twenty
minutes duration, the like Of which
has never been heard Oh an impeach-
ment or other trial. He started ont
by asserting that this was an effort
to carry into effect the declarations
made by the Democrats in the House
that the trial wonld be prolonged un-
til the end OF President JCIlusou's
term. He jumped about the floor
and moved every muscle and limb Of
his body like frog in the pangs Of
EviYiSeCtion. He charged the prcSi-
dent with every murder that had
been committed, and was being com
mltted in the South. lie said these
outrages upon Union men would be
continued TIL the great criminal was
removed from office.
At this Mr. Sumner put in a loud
that's so, and the galleries attempt
ed demonstration Of applause,
which, however, was quickly stopped.
Thus encouraged, BHtIer went on,
th'lndelh& and roaring forth his
denuuciatlonS Of the President,
charging On him the responsibility

he was prepared with documentary
proof to establish. lie Immediately

Edward Paysoa Weston, the pioneer

another and a greater feat than that
which he accomplished so handsomly
last Autumn This tine this pedes-
trian is TO walk from bangor, Maine,
to St Paul, Minnesota anl return to
Buffalo, New York, maiing in all 5000
miles to be completed n 100 consecu.
tive days This feat isto be done for
a wager Of $25, 900 sid IN all $4,000.
Mr. Goodwin still backing Weston, and
Messrs. VIM B. Fredaicks, Sam G..
Brock, VIM b Perkins j, G. Carol
and Eugene NJ Ball, blcking time. A
purse of $4,000 is alsobeing raised to
be presented to Westoi if he should
accomplish this monstr feat. As he
will not be permitted 70 walk on Sun
day, he viii only have s6 secular days
in which to accomplish the feat, and
viii have TO make the enormous aver
age Of 584 miles daily in order to win.
He VIII also have TO walk 100 miles in
side of % consecutive hours five times
during the march Of the 5000, that is
to say, once in each Thousand, and
should he fail in dding this feat
once, he forfeits all claim to the S25, 900
purse, and forfeits 5000 for each event
to the hackers OF tims in the wager.
He will walk fifty mile IN ten consecu-
tive hours. once in each thousand miles,
making five times in all In both of
these feats he will DO allowed two tri-
ais az each event. Ii Weston succeeds
in accomplishing this he will certainly
give the British pedestrians who have
been talking SO much Of late, a lesson
that viii in all probability drive them
back to their native shores with very
exalted opinion ofAmetican enterprise.
Mr.. Weston purposes starting on or
about the 18th Of August from Bangor,
Maine, aud terminating at Buffalo, N.
Y, on November 26. He will be ac-
companied during his entire walk by a
party Of six sworn judges, aud there
will be attached to the carriage an
odomater for the correct moasurment
Of the distance During his walk he
will pass through twelve different States,
and iunumerable cities aud towns.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A LOCAL PAPER. -
Not one person in a hundred, we feel
perfectly safe in saying, has anything
like a correct appreciation Of the real
value and importance of local paper.
There is not n single local interest that
is not more or less dependent upon the
local paper for its success. Take the
County Fair, which has already be-
come one Of the fixed institutions OF
the county. How much is it indebted
to the local newspaper? All other aids
combined to make it success do not
amount to as much as that afforded by
the local paper The publication by it
OF notices of the Fair aud the award Of
premiums, is Of more worth than the
unrefectire man begins to imagine.
Yet this publication is without money
and without price" while the publish
ers whole capital, his whole means, his
stock. his trade, so to speak, consists in
the value Of this power Of giving exten
siye publicly 70 that which appears in
his paper What is true Of the Fair is
true Of other things Political meet
ings, gatherings Of public interest Of all
kinds, are noticed freely and for naught.
When the old die or the young are
married, all the community are inform
Of it. The ways in which the local
paper advances public interest and is OF
public Importance are many and multi
form. Vet its service in these respects
is almost entirely unracognized and
unknown. Because more reading can
be got for the same money, though It
may be days behind and no. selected
or made up, with refesence to any spe-
cial wants the foreign and distant
having no connection with any local,
public Or private interest, but "a many
cases really adverse to them. Is prefer
