DISCOVERY OF TIE REMAINS OF DETECT
ENlA I'VE BARMoRE-


On Monday, the 18th of February,
Seymour Barmore, detective OF Nash
vile, went down to Pulaski to attend to
some business connected with the trial of
n negro. whom he had arrested few
days previous on the charge of having
been implicated in a burglary committed
at that place. After attending to the
affair which took him to Pulaski, the de-
tective took the night train for Nashville.
When the train stopped at Columbia,
little after midnight, it was boarded by
squad of Kuklux, while large gang
kept guard near by. Barmore, who was
asleep on his seat, was reused up, drag
ged from the car, thrown upon horse,
and carried away by his captors. That
was the last seen Of him. The most in
tense excitement was created by this
event, and after more than month of
doubt and uncertainty the mystery has
been cleared up. The remains of the
missing detective were found in Duck
River, two miles below Columbia, on Sat
urday night, by colored man, who at
once communicated the intelligence to
Major Friedenburg, the commander of
the United States troops stationed at Co
lumbia. The body was brought into the
town and conveyed to the Court House,
where an inquest was held yesterday.
The body was identified by DR.. David
son and several others as Barmores re-
mains. A rope was around his neck,
about two feet long, with moose at one
end, which appears to have been attached
to a rock, or something else, and to have
slipped of. There was on the body fine
diamond cross pin, and two heavy gold
finger rings On the left hand. A rail
road conductors check, handful of
some kind, several keys to unlock hand
cuffs, and five samples of calico, suppos-
ed to have been the sample of this X.
X. X. rig; also an empty pocketbook,
much damaged, we're found on his per-
son. His arms were tied behind him
with linen handkerchief.
Maury county is one of the counties
placed under martial law by the Gov
ernor, and now that the militia are to be
sent there promptly, it is to be hoped
that the most energetic and vigorous eff
forts will be made to ferit out the perpe-
traitors of this terrible deed.-Nashu;lie

BANEs AND ANTIDoTEs. The banes
of domestic life are littleness, falsity,
vulgarity, harshness, scolding, vocifera-
ton, and incessant issuing of superfuous
prohibitions and orders, which are re-
garded as impertinent interferences with
the general liberty and repose, and are
provocative of ranking or exploding
resentments. The blessed antidotes that
sweeten and enrich domestic life are re-
fnement, high aims, great interests, soft
voices, quiet and gentle manners, mag
unanimous tempers, forbearance from all
unnecessary commands or dictation, and
general allowances of mutual freedom
Love makes obedience lighter than lib.
erty. Man wears noble allegiance
not as collar, but as a garland. The
Graces are never so lovely as when seer
waiting on the virtues and where they
thus dwell together, they make heav
emily home.
No affection, save friendship, has an,
sure eternity in it. Friendship ought
therefore, always to be cultivated in low
itself, as its only certain guard and pre-
sentative, not less than as the only sui
,ficient substitute in its absence. A cou
pie joined by love without friendship
