A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE Scot
AND FATALLY WoUNDED.-A dispatch 10
the Republican Banner, dated Courtland,
Ala, August 2, says: :
"Abont 9 o'clock this afternoon, while
DR.. Haughey, Conservative Republican
candidate for Congress. was on The
stand delivering o. speech, he said all
he Kinds speakers were hire
lings Kinds represents the extreme
Radical wing of the Republican party,
and is also a congressional candidate.
Dr.. Collins, friend of Kinds, called
him ID liar. Haughey returned the
helliserent ep,thet, when both clenched.
During the struggle, llaughey vas shot
IN the left breast. just under the ninth
rib. The wound will prove fatal. Kinds
and Collins are both carpet, baggers.
Collins is the man who killed Korneham
at Tuscumbia some time since, and is a
perfect desperado."

There were no services in any one of
the six churches in our town last Sab.
bath q ,rning and afternoon. The Lu.
theran' church is without pastor, the
Episcopal and Associate Reformed are
only stately open, the pastor Of the
Baptist church is still seriously indis-
posed and the pastors Of the Methodist
and Presby terian churches were absent.
In the evening. Rev. Mr.. Lawton, Of
the Nswbelry Circuit, preached an elo'
quent sermon in the Methodist Church
to 3 large and appreeiative congregation.
A delightful series Of prayer meetings
are held every Sabbath afternoon in the
Baptist church. The, services are con-
Quoted by the Older members Of the
church, in the course Of which many
very happy and eloquent remarks are
offered, much to the edification of those
present. We love pleasant, familiar,
unstudied words, that come from
earnest, feeling hearts, presenting pic
lures Of real life.
During the absence Of the pastor, we
leain that these meetings will be con-
tinued, and We hope tha: all who
formerly attended will make it a point to
be present on said occasions.
Protracted meetings were hello during
last week and the early part of the pres
eat week, in various portions of the dis
irict. The Lutherans have had an inter-
esting meeting at St. Mathews the Bap-
fists at Mt. Zion and Bush River, and the
Methodists at Trinity.

Mul,ilfy any given number Of dollars

true interest for such number Of days
at six per cent. This rule is so simple
and so true, according to all business

reference and use. By no arithmetieal

ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS FOR
THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
/. They sew with two threads direct from the
spools, and require no re-wiLd ding.
2. They are more easily understood and used,
ard less liable to arrangement than other ma
chimes.
g. They are capable of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, much greater
variety of work than other machines.
The stitch made by these machines is much
more 6,m. elastic. and durable, especially upon
articles VII ch require to be washed aud iroued,
than any other stitch.
This stitch, owingto the manner IN which
the under thread J. inwrOught, is much the ucst
plump and beautiful in use, and retains this
plumpness and beauty even upon articles fre>
oueutly washed and ifoued until they are worn

6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of only
few stitches. it will neither open, run nor
ravel, bat remains finn and durable.
: Unlike other machines. these fasten both
ends of the seam by their own operation.

- A GLeoMY PRoPHvcY-The Hickman
Ky.l Courier announces the death OF
Miss Susan G. God>ey, known as the
sleeping wonder. The fact is we'll au'
th.ntica,ed that Miss g. had been, for
twelve years previous to herideath, in a
state o COMA, or sleep. This diSposi'
ton tc constant sleep was produced by 4
severe attack of chill and fever, since
which time she only woke at intervals,
once or twice a day. remaining awake
for bu. q few inmates. On the day of
her death she made one or two predic
tio7s, which are given by the Courier
for what they are worth. One was that
.he sun would be totally eclipSed on the
7th of August, fact of which she could
not have any knowledge, rs her friends
assert. Another was that ''the sun
would never shine as bright after that
day." xhich will indicate that the end
of the world is speedily approaching.
Whether constant sleeper is better
ou,li6el to predict future events than a
wide-awake pro net, is point We will
not pretend to decide. .. ..

of negroes and whites is illegal, null and

the code of Georgia, known az Twins
Code, which was adopted: by, the late
Convention, forever prohibits The, mar.

my L1rE1 LIKE THE SUMMER RosE.n

Ny life is like the summer rose,
: That opens to the mornings sky,
But ere the shades Of evening close,
:. Is scattered on the ground to die!
Yet on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
AS if she wept the waste to see
But none shall weep>a tear:for me!
Ny life is like the autumn leaf,
That tremble. in the moons pale ray,
Its hold is frail-its date is briet,
Restless-and soon to pass away!
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leaAess tree
But none shall breathe sigh for me!
Ny life is like the prints, which feet,
Have lett on Tampa's desert strand
Socn as tie rising tide shall beat,
AL trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieving 10 efface
All vestIge Of the human race,
On that lone shore loud noans the sea, -
But none, alas! Sh all mourn ior me-!

The other morning while vending our
way to the Office, We overheard a very
pretty Miss say to her companion, "Beauty
is but skin deep, but ugliness goes to
the bone," which set US to thinking and
thus ran our thoughts: does she who
is so radiant with the fresh blushing
beauty of seventeen summers, just bad
ding into the more beautiful period of
early womanhood, believe what she says?
no! was fain to believe, that neither
she nor her companion, whose side-long
gsasses were drinking in with pleasure

like beauty, believed what was said,
neither do We believe it. 1t is vener.
able adage it is true, but like most of
such pithy sentences utterly false and
onlyzrequires the ventilation of a few mo-
meuts thought, to dissolve them into
nonsense and dlssipate their applicability
to human nature into airy nothing. ::
~ But:if this were all. it would not profit
that we should write you anything upon
the subject. Its influence is pernicious
aad demoralizing, and therefore We shall
dot down for your benefit our thoughts
upon the subject. The outward form
and expression Of the human species ha S
been made to mould itself to the inward
smind by the Creator; SO that's to its: fell
lows it should ever be an index to the
character Of the soul. This has been illus.
trated time and again in the lives Of many.
We might cite ihnumerable instances,
but it would render the article too long.
Socrates was horn as ugly as a satyr, but
by bis deep thought, by the sculpture Of
reason, virtue and self sacrifice, he so re-.
constructed his face, that at last "a god
saw himself therein, and the Phadon
shone with him. Who that is nearing
the. meridian of his life has not seen
among his acquaintances some beauti-
siul boy launch out into dissipation and
*viseious society, teeming withsuch mag.

and all are born with
certain fresh and rugged ,vigor which. is

and this will not cease with any epoc Of
life, but run on until even the worms
