OBITUARY..
Admiral Sir Gcorso Francis scyniou

Admiral sir George Francis seymour.
Sir George Francis Seymour, G. G. b., G. Q. H.,
Admiral of the Fleet, and distinguished naval
officer, died in London on the 2lst inst, in the
eiGhty-third year of his age. He was born in
1857, was the eldest son Of the late Admiral
Lord Hugh Seymour and grandson of the first
Marquis of Hertford, TO which title he was heir
presumptive. He was wounded in the battle of
San Domingo in 1906, while on board the North
umberland. In the Walcheren expedition in
1909 he commanded the frgate Pallas and other
ships, until the end of the war in 1914. In 1920
he was Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Lords,
and in 1880 Master of the Robes to William ~.
He has since that time been Lord of the Ad-
miralty Commander-in-Chi in the Pacific and
on the North American, West India, and Ports
mouth stations; also Vice-Admiral of the United
Kingdom. He was for long time stationed in
American waters, and was made Admiral of the
Fleet Nov. 20, 1866.

W0MAN'S RIGHTS.
A White woman shoots "A Negro Man In cour

An unusual affair occurred in the Circuit Court
of Louisville on Wednesday last, The trial of
Jack johnson, for rape, had just been concluded,
and the prisoner discharged on motion of the
Commonwealth attorney, Mrs. Louisa Henry,
the chief witness, having failed to testify in such
a manner as to fasten the crime upon her
ravisher, though there was little doubt of his
guilt. Mrs. Henry had gone into the witness
room to claim her attendance fee, when the
negro came in and laughed In her face. She i'm
mediately drew a pistol from under her apron,
and, pushing 1t square in his face, fired. The
negro anticipated her just in time to dodge, but
the powder burned his face, and the back made
u little round hole in his bushy wool. The
affair created momentary panic In the court
room, but the excitement was soon quelled by
the sheriffs. The lady was Immediately arrested
by Officer Hines, who was In the room at the
time, and prevented her from firingagain which
she was hastily making preparations to do. The
negro was badly frightened, and affirmed that
he had swallowed the ball. 1t was afterwards
found, however buried deep in the door-facing,
about eight feet above the floor. He made a
narrow escape from death. Mrs. Henry was
presented TO the court for contempt, but the
members of the bar arose to a man and asked
that she be discharged Under the circumstances
Of the case Judge Bruce let her go, but she was
Immediately put under arrest for shooting with
intent to kill. She gave bail, and was released
without going to jail. Her husband was present.
and seemed to be proud of the heroism which
his wife had displayed.

TELEGRAPHIC STRIKES.
A Reminiscence of the Rebellion.

The recent strike of the telegraph operators
all over the country, which has just ended by
the telegraphers agreeing to return to their
work, has recalled to mind the first aud only
previous strike Of operators in this country 1t
occurred in the Southern Confederacy, and ended
most ingloriously for the operators.
In the fall of 1868 the operators in the employ
of the Southern Telegraph Company, which ex-
tended from Richmond to Mobile, were paid $500
per month in Confederate money. Board cost
$400 per month, pair of boots $500, a suit of
clothes $780, and other articles in proportion;
and the operators, even with the strlctest eco
nomy, were unable to live comfortably. A pro-
tective league was organized, and they resolved
to strike for an increase of salaries. AT that
time operators were exempted from the action
of the conscript law by special act of Con-
gress and, ms their services as operators
