A WOMAN LAWYER.
A Bob eminn on Phebe Couzins

Don Piatt, in letter reporting the incidents
of the woman suffrage meeting in Washington,
says
was very weary of the whole concern, when
at the close / received tonic from Mother
Stanton, in her introduction of Miss Phebe
Couzins, ESQ, of st. Louis. This young woman,
who is studying law in Missouri, is, should say,
looking at her through my opera glass, about
twenty-one. years of age. She is tall, well
formed, and possessed of q strikingly handsome
face. The chin rounds out little too much,
but makes the base SO necessary to a determined
character. The mouth expressive enough,
suffers from the chin and inclines to dish. The
face is fair oval rather long, and the nose, like
General Fremont fails to assert itself sufficiently
But a woman with q delicate complexion and
glorious pair of eyes, such as Miss Couzins has,
Is beautiful. Her hair is of the raven hue, and
her heavy eyebrows and lashes give force to one
of the most intellectual faces l ever looked on.
She approached the stand with timid graceful
ness, that won all hearts before she said word
and then assuming, apparently without
design, an exquisite pose, she opened
her lips, and the sweet voice came ringing out,
like coins dropped down q many fathomed well.
By Jove there Is no use in my attempting to
criticize that address. All knowledge was won
out of me through my admiration. 1t was the
loveliest thing ever saw, and the sweetest
ever heard. Go thy ways, Phebe, conqHering
and to conquer. platoon of such advocates
would carry suffrage as a south wind carries
odors, blessed and blessing.
Her elocution was perfect. Towards the close
of her effort she quoted aparagraph from Parker
Pillsbury. 1t was like setting of poor words
in the sweetest of melodies. Parker actually
shone in his poverty, for she gave him such an
air of earnest simplicity. I
Go thy ways, fair Phebe. The law will take
the bloom from thy face, softness from thy
voice, and dry up or destroy oil the fascinating
cious things go any way, so there is small differ
ence in the end

WHIPPING A DEACON.

A p1aterrsl BaeksIidcr Calls Her Sos Out of
Meeting and COwhides Hina-Btyiue Services
Broken Up. -,
citv known as Christmas Woods. 1t is colony
of negroes, and has gained quite notoriety IN
the courts as place of continued turmoil and
outlawry. There is a deacon, and the name OF
the anomalous individual is Albert Price.
Contrary to the general course of things, old
Mrs. Price did not sanction this advancement OF
of her son in the estimation of his brethren, but
sought to dsplace him. Failing in this, she
tried persuasion, but her son had firmly made up
his mind to disavow the nefarious pracuees Oh
his ancestors and reform. This embarkanon
from the innate principles of her clan the old
lady could not stand, and determined 10 Drlng
her ungrateful son back at all hazards, so last
Sunday she visited the church, where Albert was
leading in prayer, and, calling him to the door,
whipped out venemous cowhide from under
her calico apron and administered the stripes to
his back without mercy.
OF course the Divine services were broken up
in jiffy, and the whole congregation was IN
confusion at such an extraordinary proceeding
The pious Albert disappeared, and the conster-
mated church-members went home. The matter
would have stopped here but for the old virago
of q woman, who threatened accommodation
to her undutiful son. She declared that be
couldn't live sin dem parts till he learned some
sense" Albert hearing of this, came to town
and procured peace warrant against Ms
mother. .H.
A deputy constable, armed with the document,
repaired to the notorious locality and brought
the old lady to town. She was arraigned before
Justice Clement and confronted by. her son.
Her tongue ran at terrible rate, and she abused
him numerically. The pious deacon of Christ
mas Woods Church was charged with practices
unbecoming such an official but the impeach'
ment coming from such source is not likely to
hurt him in the estimation of his congregation
His mother was held in $500 bonds to be of good
behavior and let her son alone for six months

TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
Holocaust of the InnOceuts-Three Children
- burned to Death.

Holocaust Inn0Gfnta-ThEGG Children
.. Burned to Death.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cidl writes follows from Lyons, Indiana:-A
sad occurrence happened in our neighborhood
on Thursday evening. Thomas Vansickles three
children were burned to death yesterday even
ing. In the afternoon Mrs. Vansckle went over
to her fathers house, about one mile from home.
After she was gone one of her neighbor women
went to Vansickle's to return some smoothing
irons, and found the three children alone and the
door closed She was urged by the Oldest little
girl to remain with them until her mother re-
turned; but she went home, and in fifteen min
utes after she looked towards Vansickle's house.
and could see the smoke coming out at the roof
of the house. She raised the alarm, and Mr..
Vansickle who was at work half a mile off, saw
the fire about the same time and ran to save his
children. Quite number arrived about the
same time.
Mr. Vansiclle opened The door and saw his
infant, seven months of age, struggling, and
heard its screams, and rushed in to save it, but
was so badly stiaed with the smoke and flames
that he ran out without it, and young lady pre-
sent screamed at him, 'tFor Gods sake, go in
and get the child" He made q second effort
and brought it out alive, but badly burned.
He called for his other children, aged respec-
lively two years and four years, but they failed
to answer or they could have been saved
After the house had burned down their bodies
were found where they had taken refuge, under
the bed. Their arms and legs were burned to
einders, and their heads were badly charred.
The poor little creatures had perhaps played
with the fire until the house began to burn,
and they took refuge from the flames under the
bed.
The occurrence has thrown the entire commu-
nifty into mourning, and the parents are frantic
with grief.
The poor little children were all put in one
coffin, and inferred yesterday evening.

SINGULAR MURDER.

A Man Assa ssInntc ed for Prosecuting n Criminal
The particulars of shocking murder about
four miles from Randolph, in Tennessee,
have been furnished the Memphis Sun. The
victims name is j. j. Ralph, well-known
farmer in that section of country. On last Mon
day evening, about night fall, Mr.. Ralph left his
house to go to the stable to feed his stock. He
had not been out of the house for many minutes
when two shots were heard, ahd his wife, be-
coming reasy, started out in search of him. He
was found near the cattle pen, weltering In his
own blood, his eyes fixed In death, and two bullet
holes in his body; had been robbed after being
shot. About $50 in money which he had on
his person, had disappeared; also a couple
of Derringer pistols, and a Colts repeater. About
eight months ago he had very fine mule stolen
from him. He, after obtaining information from
a criminal then in Jail, pursued the thief to Ken
tncky, recovered the mule and prosecuted the
thief, Tom Clemens, in Judge Rive's Court and
obtained his conviction. Clemens, however,
appealed his sentence to the Supreme Court
About three weeks ago there was general Jail
delivery in the town of Covington, during
which Clemens and the criminal who gave such
information as to lead to his conviction both
escaped. During that time, nothing has been
seen of them, althoughsthe citizens thereabouts
felt confident that both thieves were prowling
in the vicinity. Some of them thought that this
beded no good to Ralph, and 80 advised him.
Ralph, however, did not pay much attention to
it, save to ara himself in case of an emergency.
Aifewdays afterward the worst!predictionssof his
friends were verified, and Ralph met his tragic
end as we have already detailed. The country
was secured for the murderers, but up to the
time our informant left neither of them had
been found. The general impression is that
the assassins, after doing their bloody work,
had everything previously arranged, and as
soon as completed they left the county The
deceased was young man not long married,
and had no children.

was made TO the Deputy Sheriffs. Several
women escaped from the building and eleven
were placed In the carriages and .Saeh &c :se
County jail. They appeared to be terrihed at
the movements of the officers. Officer Taggart
and several policemen interposed and questioned
the authority Of the Deputy Sherifts, but on
hearing that they were acting under authority
from Judge McKinstry, took no further part
than TO follow the carriages to the County Jail,
from which they were elected when they at
tempted to enter. These women are said to sell
at about e400 per head in the San Francisco
MARKET and although the mail steamers, with
present facilities, are able to bring them out at
very low figures, and they arrive by hundreds
every month, there Is no decrease in their
market value. In the present case, those who
seemed to have had control of the kidnapped
women allege that the parties who procured
the habeas corpus merely wish to get possession
of the women for their pecuniary value.

THE WILKES. BRUCE LIBEL SUIT.
New Arena for the Sporting Fraternity
Acquittal of Bruce-Ono sporting Man Losos
$1,000 on the Result.

bFuCc-Ou0
$1,000 on the Result.
The chamber of the Court of General Sessions
was crowded yesterday with prominent sporting
men and politicians who had gathered to hear
the conclusion of the libel suit of Sanford D.
Bruce and George wilkes. At the opening of
the Court many bets were made by some Of
the sporting men on the result. One man bet
$500 to 500 that Bruce would be convicted.
This was promptly covered. At IL o'clock
Judge Clark began summing up for the
defense. He spoke of his embarrassment In
addressing the jury resulting from his lack Of
preparation In consequence of his being called
in the case only the day before, and also to his
being stranger, while the District Attorney
was well known to all the jury. He would not
put in any testimony for the defense, but would
depend upon the weakness of the case for the
prosecution. He said that the alleged libel was
an answer TO some article which must have ap-
peared in some paper, and the testimony
of the prosecution was that no article
whatever, In any way attacking or re-
ferring TO the Turf Field, and Farm
had been published In Mr.. Wilkes paper. Parts
of the article more grossly llbellous than those
referred to in the indictment it was not asserted
referred TO Mr.. Wilkes. Judge Garvin closed
for the people. Betting still oven; excitement
high. His Honor charged the jury, succinc1y
describing the rights of the public press and
those of the private citizen and commenting
upon the difference between high-toned, inde-
pendent journalism and the blackmailing lam
pooning of obscure and diSreputable newspapers
In this country.
When the jury went out heavy odds were
offered in favor Of an acquittal, with no takers.
Those who had previously given odds began to
hedge. After an absence of about three-quarters
OF an hour the jury returned and rendered a
verdict of not guilty. In one instance promi-
nent sporting man lost five thousand dollars.
Others lost and won in smaller or In larger
sums. The good-natured, eminent counsellor,
the Hon. William +. Howe, went q fifty on the
result, and, with his customary luck, won. Some
