TELLING TALES OUT OF SCHOOL

The Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland 60. Herald says
''The gambling dens are not all broken
up in Washington; many are in full blast,
and they reap their harvests during the
sessions of Congress, and it is lamentable
to know that many of our Lawmakers,
who stand high at home with their con-
stituents, are addicted to this notorl-
Gus vice. A few evenings since
two Western members parted with
five thousand dollars at the
boards, and it is rumored that they I'M
derstood very well the inside workings of
the whisky ring. 1t is said of a former
Northwestern member, that he got the
votes of nearly all the Methodists in his
district, he was such an earnest exhorter
among the brethren in that denomination.
He also managed to get good share of
the votes of an opposite class by frequent
libations to their health in whisky. When
he got here the gamblers stripped him,
and the whisky rings subsequently built
him up.

inquiries into the moral character of the

to a high degree, elegance, durability and

the kind in the Southwest, is now being
filed from top to bottom with the most ex-

which defy competition. Their rosewood,

ror-faced wardrobes, ETC., are of unsur-
passed beauty and finish. Their bedsteads,
sofas, chairs, bureaus, Wristbands, ward
robes, presses and every conceivable arti-
Gle In the furniture line is of the latest
style, of the. best material and most COM
plete workmanship. They are also max
ing the very finest mattresses of different
varieties, which are of very superior
quality. They have sets of furniture in
every grade of completeness, which are at

mandery of Tennessee that are of home
manufacture, they having been made by
Mr.. Alexander Joseph, jeweIer, of Edge

made Of SOLID gold, and weigh nearly an
ounce each. Their form is that of a Tenn
plar's cross, two inches square, the center
an open circle, within which the specific
jewel of each officer is suspended. They
hang from pin in the shape of delta, the
face of which is set with garnets in the
form Of passion cross. We congratulate
the Grand Commandery on its reception of
these valuable jewels of such exquisite
workmanship, and feel much gratiied to
state that they were made within our own
commonwealth.

A very singular affair occurred in Edge
field yesterday morning between one and
two o'clock. A man named David Heyman
and his wife occupy the second story of
the building known as Pitts stable at the
foot Of Bridge Avenue, whish they use as q
house for the boarding of wagoners, who
arrive with their teams during the night.
About the hour above named, the woman
in her night clothes, made her appearance
at the bridge Office, shouting murder. hfr.
Morrison, one of the keepers, came ont
when she told him that the room occupied
by herself and husband had been entered
by thieves and murderers, that her hus-
to escape assault she had jumped
from the second story window, and
after being knocked down her
husband jumped out falling upon his
head, and was in dying condition. Mr
Morrison proceeded Immediately to the
stationhouse and communicated the facts
to the police. Lieutenant Alexander went
with him to the scene Of trouble. Upon
examining the premises he found the door
closed, when he procured & ladder, and as
cended, climbing in at tie window En-
tering the room, strange to say, there was
not person to be seen, and the door was
locked, with the key on the inside. His
pantaloons. containing some money was
also found in the room. Mr.. Alexander
found Mr.. Hey IAN lying in the front of
the building in an almost senseless condi-
ton, with his head and shoulder badly
bruised, and his clothing saturated with
blood Medical aid was procured, and his
wounds we're dressed, but he continued
yesterday in precarious condition, and it
is yet doubtful whether he will recover.
Mrs. Heyman sprained her ankle, and al
though able, after she jumped from the
window, to walk to the bridge Office, she
was confined to her bed yesterday. Both
he and she continue to say that they saw
a man in the room, but from all the cir
cumstances in the case, it is evident that
they were laboring under some strange
They had been here only
a few months, and Mr.. Heyman had accu-
mulated some little money by peddling.
Timid in his nature, the fear of losing his
money, no doubt, operated upon his mind,
and made him believe that he was the vic
tim of burglars and thieves.
