A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND,-Colonel Walter,
in his interesting and instructive lecture on the
" Early History of Holly Springs" delivered
in the court room on the evening OF May 10th,
related the following beautiful legend, which
gave rise to the name of our fourishing and
pleasant city. We quote almost the words of
the eloquent speaker: .Here in the wild woods
two copious and gurging fountains poured forth
their lilnpid streams. Even then the place was
called the Holly Springs; doubtless 80 named
by the white men who. mingled freely with the
Cnickasaws. ever the white mans friends. A
beautiful tradition connected with the Springs
has come down to us. It is said that the chief
tain Coahoma, or Red Fox, wooed, but woOed
in vain, the lovely Latoke. The heart OF the
fair maiden was given to the graceful and gal
liant young cLieltain, Pn0la. Vengeance hred
the breast Of Coahoma. He slew the beautiful
maiden, and at a spot not far distant covertly
met and slaughtered her warrior lover. The
Great Spirit loved his fallen children, Where
each lay he struck the spot and D g,lrgling foun-
tain broke forth, whose limpid waters soon
mingled in bright and ripping stream. He
spoke, and the evergreen hully grew. around
ench fountain, fit emblem of their undying love
A name was furnished for the sacred spot, and
here, in after times, the chieftains metin caun-
Gil; here, the youthful braves celebrated their
national games, and here lived and loved, aud
sang and danced, the Indian maidens.-H

A TERRIBLE STORY.

Several weeks ago there were published in
the papers the particulars of a strange Russian
tragedy including the finding, I'M IL trunk, al
nle OF the railway depots of Moscow, Of the
body of one De .Zohn, formerly rich French
merchant and at last Russian noblenlan, who
had been inveiglrd to o certain house in the
city of the Cars, and there. iat the height of q

of a wonderfully beautiful girl named Afraia

directed but fercely declared that the nutllat.

that she had caused the murder in fulfIlment
Of a vow which she had made in infancy to her
mother, who had been betrayed and then left

younger days. BY late journals it tappeaEs that

BEEN brought into the house, and was rendered
unsteady by deep drinking. he was deliberately
robbed Of all the money and jewelry upon his
person. In answer to his protest and threats
of complaints to the police, he was told that
the robbery had been merely quizzical joke
to try his nerves, and that he must drink again
in honor of the excellence of such wit The
girl Afraia presented him with glass of wine
III which the cyanide of potassium had been
dissolved, and no sooner had he drank half the
deadly draught than he fell backward, gaspng,
upon the diyan upon which he had been sitting.

A WILD NAN OF THE WOODS.-The people
of Magnolia and Chatawa have had sensa-
ton Of their own during the past ten days. It
did not come in the shape of a base ball match,
or an atrOcious murder, or of the accidental
poisoning of an entire family, but simply in
the appearance of wild negro, an insane if-
teentn amendment, whose wardrobe is as
scanty as that of Adam before the fall, or any
colOred brother who roains the forests or fields
of Congo or Dahomey at this day, from the
monarch downward. The creature, whose ac-
tions SD far as they have been observed. must
certainly be insane. When first seen in that
neighborhood, he was observed by white man
near Magnolia, seated upon fallen tree. eat
ing pine cones. On being approached he ceased
to eat, threw himself on all-fours and began
scratching up the earth like u terrier on tho
scent OF rat, or other vermin, until he man
aged to get out of sight When next seen it
was eight miles below, near the, railroad sta
ton ut Chatawa. Every effort to get him to
talk to any one, even of his own color. failed,
and on being approached he fled away rapidly,
until he was seen no more. He manifests no
savage or brutal qualities, but seem to enter
tain an absolute dread of intercourse with hui
man beings. He appeared to be about twenty
FIVE years of age, we'll built and healthy. His
finger nails have grown to an enormous length,
resembling the claws of so,lie wild feline ami
NAL 1t is believed that he was originally
runaway, and that he has for years lived in
the woods and swamps, and is not aware of the
emancipation of his race. Some parties also
believe that he is Identical with the wild man

seen near Vicksburg year or more ago.--N.

DIsPoSING OF AN INSCLT.-LOrd Mark
Herr. who distinguished himself ut the battle
Of Funtenuy, was n gond but eccentric officer,
and terrible dueIist. His debut was remark
able. He was lad of slight, effemnate ap-
pearance, apparently void of spirit. His
father, the Marquis nf Lothian, when he
brought him to London to jniE his regiment
thr Coldstream mGnards-requested the Colonel
who was his particular friend to watch over
him to see that he submitted to no improper
liberties, and to instruct him in the way he
should 60, in case he had the misfortune to be
insulted.
These were the days of hard drinking. of
prodigiuus swearing, and brutal manners. The
pacific young scIon of nobility soon became a
butt ut mess, a stop peg to hang practical jokes
on, until ut last n captain of years standing
threw Il glass of wine in his face. He still said
nothing, but wiped his face with his handker-
chief. and took no further notice of the insult
he had received.
The Colonel thought it was high time to in
teri-re and invited him to breakfast, tetc-a-tete
on the following morning ut o'clock. Lord
Mark arrived punctually, ate his breakfast with
perfect coinposure, and spike but little. AT
length the commanding officer broke ground.
Lord Mark" said he, II must speak to
you on rather delicate subject, but, as your
fathers friend, am compelled to waive cere-
mony. Captain l., yesterday morning.
publicly passed an affront on you, which both
your honor and the credit of the regiment re-
quire you to notice"
"What do you think, sir, ought to do9"
inquired Lord Mark. ssa7eE.
Call on him for an explanation" rejoined
the Colonel
at is, fear, too late for that" replied the
young ensign, II shot him at eight this MORN
ing, and if you take the trouble to look out the
front window, you will see him on u shutter"
