The Fruit. of Radical Teaching.

From the Vicksburg Herald.
The bitter fruits of Radical teachings are
being gathered in Sundower and its border
ing counties. Combash has been at work
among his colored brethren, and by incen-
diary speeches, has aroused in them vim
dictiye and wicked spirit. He has raised a
storm which he cannot control. The reap
ings of the storm can only, and must neces-
sarlly, be whirlwind of anger and strife.
Last Monday there was Radical meeting
at McNutt in Sunfiower county. at which
MT Myers had been invited 20 reply 10 the
Radical speakers. Objection was, however,
made oy y. L. johnson, Ames' Sheriff, and
Mr.. Myers gracefully yielded the point and
retired. At the hotel that night while at
supper, an alteration took place between
johnson and Myers, resulting in q collision.
johnson was shot by Myers. and at latest ae-.
counts was deemed to have been fatally
wounded. A hundred or more negroes
were In pursuit of Myers with threats to
hang and murder him.

scenes of violence and exhibitions Of pas

The Washington correspondent of the

The Internal Revenue Department are
considering the expediency OF recommend
ing tax on cotton of one cent pound TO
take effect on the next years crop. The
high price of cotton, and the general idea
existing as to the prosperity of the South,
has suggested this idea.
1t would have been more properly de-
scribed as a part of Radical scheme to

A WIFE ON A TRAIN. One day last week
january 4th wife in Milwaukee, who for
some months had suspected her husband, and
charged aim with infidelity, was told by her
liege that he was going to Chicago on busi-
ness, to remain three days. Later in the
day she saw him in a carriage with young
lady, drive rapidly by the house of friend
where she was calling, stop at the depot, and
enter, with the young lady, a sleeping car,
for La Crosse. Indignant, with this proof of
his treachery before her eyes, she ran out of
the house with a thick veil over her face and
took passage West on the same train, occu-
pying the coach next the sleeping car She
asked the conductor if such a man and wo-
man. describing them, were in the car, and
where they were going. He replied that their
tickets were for La Crosse. The guilty cou.
pie sat talking till they neared Watertown
before retiring, as they did. together, while
she sat like a tigress nursing her justifable
wrath. On learning that they had taken the
same berth, she waited till the curtains were
closed and the couple behind them had time
to fall asleep, when she rushed in, tore the
curtains aside, scratched the face of the young
woman, tore handful of whiskers from the
face of the man, and raised the deuce gener-
ally. The occupants of the berth shouted
81 Murder.n The woman screamed: - Oh.
you wicked brutes, I've caught you at lastl'

fiict when it was discovered that the brute of
man was not her husband, but St. Paul
gentleman returning East from bridal trip
in company with his wifel The +" onpeas-
antness'' was brought to an end, and the VIC

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-California
life is romance more intensely interesting
than any ever written by Sue or Dumas,
and possesses the advantage of being an
"o'er true tale" The following incident
is chapter which has just come to our
knowledge: Twenty-three years ago Pat
rick Dunn emigrated from Kings county,
ireland, and not having sufficient funds to
pay the passage of all his family, left two
of his children behind him in the care OF
his father He sought and found home
in Canada, where he resided for several
wears, and where two more children, son
and daughter, were born 10 him. The
accessions to his family were commitment
ed to his father in Ireland, and the chill
dren were informed of the fact that they
had brothers and sisters, but they had no
further knowledge of them. The father
suddenly died, leaving his children to the
care of their mother, but she surviving
only short time, the children were taken
care of by friend, and all communication
between the two branches of the family
ceased Time passed on, and the children
grew to mans estate, and in the course of
events two of the boys found their way to
California, and by curious coincidence
both of them took board in boarding
house in the northern portion of the city.
After time they were introduced to each
other by the landlord as namesakes. They
passed the evening together, and met the
following morning in the wash room, when
the oldest asked the youngest what part of
Ireland he came from. He replied that he
was born in Canada, but that his father
came from Kings county, Ireland. He
further stated that his father died when he
was quite young. The elder then asked
if he knew his mothers maiden name, and
it was given him Further questions and
answers followed, when they discovered
that they were brothers, and they made
known the discovery to the other boarders
in the house There was a great time in
that little household when the fact became
generally known. They had been boarding
at the same house, and dining at the same
table, for several weeks, without having the
remotest idea of their relationship. Truly
truth is stranger than fction.-CdH

THE SMALL Pox--The Pacific Medi-
cal and Surgical Journal, published at San
Francisco, has an article in which the
ground is taken that the epidemic consti-
tuition Of the atmosphere upon which diffu-
sion Of small pox depends affects the western
slope Of both continents, forming what is
called pandemic wave sweeping over the
surface OF the globe, and that the disease
does not tend to spread unless quickened
by the epidemic influence. 1t pronounces
recent vaccination the only safeguard, as
well for persons who have had the small
poy as for those who have not The NOR
tality of those who are not yaccinated
ranges from % to so per cent, of those
who have been from 2 to per cent The
duration of the epidemic is from six months
to one year, and it seldom progresses
steadily, but fuctuates without sensible
changes in the atmosphere. The idea of
arresting the disease by isolation, non
intercourse or fumigation, when it has
become epidemic is falacy When the
disease is not of this character the germs
emanating from patients soon lose their
vitality. The period of most active conta-
gion is after the appearance of eruption
and during the process of scabbing. The
writer says whenever the disease shows a
tendency to become epidemic every indi-
vidual iu the community should be vaccin-
ated, except children who have been
vaccinated within year or two Vaccina-
tion will only take perfectly second time
e
partially in % per cent. of the cases.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENTAL Naval Off
Ger being at sea in dreadful storm, his
wife who was sitting in the cabin near him,
and filled with alarm for the safety of the
vessel, was so surprised with his composure
and serenity that she cried out:
"My dear are you not afraid? How is
it possible you can be so calm in such a
dreadful storm?"
He arose from his chair, lashed to the
deck, supporting himself by pillar Of the
vessel, drew his sword, and, pointing it to
the breast of his wife, exclaimed:
care you afraid of that swqrd?" She
instantly answered "No."
"Why?' said the officer,
"Because," rejoined the lady, 81 know
