The Skeleton Hand.

It will not be remembered by many that
now thirteen years ago, man named Jolly,
who lived in DeKalb County, was mysteri-
onsly made away with after having left his
home to visit Nashville. He was tolerably
well off, had beautiful young wife whom
he had married q year previous to his sud-
den and final disappearance, and whom he
had successfully won from powerful, per-
tinacious and rancorous rival. The young
couple were deeply attached to each other,
spent their honeymoon in Philadelphia, and
returned after months Joyous travel At
the time of Jolly's departure from home he
confessed that he had strange PRESENT.
ment of impending evil, and he passionately
kissed his infant boy the morning he was
leaving, and even shed tears. His wife was
enciente with second infant, which after
wards proved to be girl-born an orphan.
When he was away about week his wife
and friends became alarmed Nothing had
been heard from him-no one had seen him
on the journey After couple of days in
tolerable suspense, search was instituted
No trace OF any sort could be found, except
that the marks of feet, rs if those of strug-
Cling men, were found on the banks of the
Cumberland, about two miles from land
ing, where it was expected jolly was to take
q boat to come down the river. Several
small saplings were either torn mp by the
roots or broken, thus giving evidence Of a
fierce combat. Save these marks, nothing
that could, in any way, throw any light on
the fate of jolly, was ever discovered. AZ
ter remaining two years on the farm, and
when her two little children were in con-
dition to run about, she became wearied of
scene, the conte mplation of which afford
ed her nothing but pain. 1t was scene
once bright and happy turned suddenly
into desolation and gloom, and the fair
young widow and sorrowing mother was
losing her health She, by the advice of
friends and physicians, sold out and came
to Nashville. In about three years after
wards she married the clever, hut eccentric
DIR. Harper, who died down South during
the war. She has since remained widow
possessed of considerable property and an
interesting family of three girls and boy.
These seemingly irrelevant particulars will
have significance when we tell the anxious
reader that the early but unsuccessful suitor
to her hand, having never married, engaged

An old dairyman says that if cab
bage and turaips are fed to COWS imme-
diately et1er milking they will not ia.
vor the next yield Of milk.
The mistake is often made of under
estimating the amour. of water horses
and cows need. Some large cows will r,
quire twelve or fifteen gallons each, and
they will not yield full flow of milk il
such quantity Of pure water is not
supplied. A trough where ten full!
grown animals are watered should be
fcapacious enough to hold not less than
five barrels Of water.
A correspondent Of tho journal OF
Pharmacy catches mico by putting a
rag saturated with chloroform in places
they pillage.
The sprouts of the potato contain an
alkaloid, termed by chemists solonine,
which is very poisonous if taken into
the system. This does not exist IN tho
tubers, unless they ere exposed to the
light and air, which sometimes occurs
from the accidental removal of the
earth in cultivation. A potato that
shows blackish-ercen tint on the one
side should never be cooked for the ia
bic or fed to stock. So says Hearth
and Home.

From the Knoxville Press and Hsrald, l6th.
On Saturday morning the 18th inst,
as Mr. Glen, Of New Market, Jefferson
county, Tennessee, was engaged pillow.
ing on side hill on the farm of Mr.,
Hill, half mile from Now Market, he
suddenly perceived his team Of horses
disappear into the ground beneath,
leaving the pillow and harness on terra
tr"'" Upon examination lie discover.
cd that the ground had FIRST given
way under tho hind feet Of the horses,
thus '.skin"ing" til" harness over thei.
heads US tho dumb beasts sank into the
bowels cf tte earth. '.'
One Of the horses was buried some
eighteen or twenty feet Deep. and, #
course died instantly from sufocation.
The other remained ia sight about twelve
feet below the surface. MI. Glenn
aud bis SOD, who also witnessed the &C.
currenco, attempted to save tho. living
animal by descending into the cavity,
but the earth kept giving way beneath
them and thoy were soon unable to save
themselves, and wero rescued from
their perDous position by neighbors
who heard their cries brought to the
scene. Both of tho horses were lost.
The cavity is circular, and twenty
feet in diameter. This dirt and horses
ill the centre, while on each side is 4
large assure, into which logs have been
thrown, disappearing from view, and it
has been found impossible to fill the
cavities. There are no rocks or stones
to be seen, yet the whole sides seem to
be me1e crust beneath which is an
apparently unfathomable abyss. !

Tho report Of the Committee Of Con-
gross which Investigated the TammanJ
election frauds seems to Judge from
the full abstracts given elsewhere, to
present as the authenticated digest Of
sworn evidence facts familiar for months
to the readers Of the Tribune, and to
base thereon series Of recommends
for legislative action altogether too
elaborate to receive any attention at
this congress, but t.o just md too
obviously demanded to DO long neglect.
cd by tho next. Look once moro at
the facts. 1t is proved before this
Committee, on the testimony Of many
and unimpeaehabl, witnesses, that
l. Thousands Of aliens fraudulently
procured certificates Of naturalization
during q few weeks Immediately pre-
ssdiug our election.
2. Many hundreds Of certificates
were granted in the names Of fictitious
persons, that those holding them might
have facilities for voting many times.
>. Many hundreds holding these
certificates did thus vote many times
ranging from twice up to forty times or
more.
1. The frauds committed in counting
the ballots were nearly equal to those
in casting them.
:. There Wa combination Of off,
GERS, judicial aud otherwise, to protect
those committing these frauds, and no
ono has been punished for them.
6. The Democratic electors for
President, aud the candidates on the
Democratic State ticket, were elected
only by the aid Of this fraudulent
voting.
Look again 1t some Of the facts de-
veloped in the examination Of witnesses
on these points: In the Superior Court,
in = single day, and mainly BY the soil
tary exertions Of the indetatigablc
Judgs MoCaun, there were issued 2,lo9
natu, alis.tion certificates. In the Su-
prone Court, in single day, toward
tho close Of this heated Democratic
tain, Judge Barnard issued $50 natur-
alis,tion certificates. From the 9Th to
No 23d Of October that remarkable
Judge issued daily Average OF us.
The blanks printed for this Court
(which had never issued naturalization
papers before,) and for Judge Nc.
Gums Court, we're on . scale that
looked to their issue only by tens Of
thousands. The fees were paid by
tickets on Tammsny, priu'e.l with equal
" splendid profasion. Both courts are
proved to have knowingly and deliber-
stely issued papers to men ~h' never
appeared in Court at all. They were
sent broadcast over the city, and dis
tributcd throughout the State. Not
less than 69,343 of them were issued
from tho tive courts held by Judge
Barnard aud Judge McCuuu. Not one
fraudulent paper has been traced to any
Republican Court.
We have stated these fats in as
cold aud passionless manner as We
can command. We submit them this
morning to the sober judgment Ct
honest meu-of whatever party-with.
