TIE LITTLE CORpoRAL.-A late number
of this original magazine for boys and
girls, and for older people who have Young
hearts, has found its way to orr table, and
is So redolent of every rare and delicious
thing for yonng hearts, that we are con-
strained to herald its uncommon merits
The stories are delightful and Invariably
instructive. The poetry is simple, tender,
pretty and high. The composition is ex-
cellent English and, in q word, tho con-
ductors seem to enter into the spirit of
their great task to know the nature of
yonng hearts, and how to cater to their
immortal longings.-[ Nationol Intelligent

PROPOSALS TO SHOOT THE sUFFERER--H HEr
TEETH IaocKED OUT.
The Louisville (Ky) Joarntl tells this
story:
about three weeks ago negro woman
named Martha Holland who has for some
time past been in the employ of Mr.. Brasicr
and worked as n field hand upon his place
in Christian county, about nine miles v2st
6f Hopkinville, in this state, was bitten in
the leg by dog. The wound was small,
and as no evil effects were anticipated, moth
ing beyond the ordinary treatment was re-
sorted to. About one week after the biting
occurred, unmistakable symptoms were mani.
| tested. The first decided evidence was Civ
en- by the girl menacing AID @unn!rg ofter
Mrs Brasier, who was rescued by her son,
James Brasier, who caught the girl and
tied her, but in doing so Martha scratched
him, from the effects of which he has since
gone mad, and is now in the asylum at Hop
kinsvile. His condition is almost as bad
as that cf the girl. After this became known
in the neighborhood. meeting was held by
the people, end hey sentenced the airJ to Jo
shot
"The execution of the sentence was delay
( ed and finally revoked. and it was decided
to send the girl to the lunatic asylum q.
Lexington, as that is the only institution IN
the state where colored patients of this
character arc received. The dog that has
| caused all this trouble bit little cur Mt
Hopknsville some eight or ten days ago,
and it is said that the victim died from the
effects of the bite. Every officer hut one IN
| Christian county declined to take the girl
in charge to deliver her to the keeper of the
asylum at Lexington. This one is Deputy
Sheriff James A. Bobbtt. To prevent the
possibility of further harm to others, as the
girl was constantly trying to bite or scratch
| her custodans, her toe and finger nails were
closely trimmed, and her teeth were knock
ed out! 1t is impossible to keep clothes
upon her, end she was all day yesterday in
her cell naked.
"One remark able fact connected with this
case is that the patient refuses to taste food
of any kind or to drink water. She is SO
obstinate in this particular that Sheriff Bob

All that large part of the perfect woman's

unknown function to the spoilt woman. She
must be waited on, but she cannot in hel

is the woman who calls her husband from
