4 Remarkable Prisoner.

In 1912 there lived IN Monroe
county, Mississippi, planter named
Woolcy. He was hali-breed. at least
there was a good deal of Cherokee Indian
in him. He owned about two hundred
slaves. and hail all the worst habits of the
old.lime planter-drinking. gambling
and horse racing These pun suits alter
mated formed his sole occupation, the
plantation being managed by an over
seer. He had the sole virtue of possess
ing a sort ot Indian veneration for the
sacrednoss Of his word. IIo would not
execute note for any purchase what
ever, and held all men in sovereign con-
tempt who violated their pledged word.
He had no compunction in killing man
i'm what he deemed a just quarrel; but his
word was his bond. This was his we'll
known character. and he could have got
credit for thousands on his word easier
than other men could have got hundreds.
At the time we speak of he had killed
sew, raj persons in gambling quarrels and
he was looked upon rs man not TO be
crossed except at the risk of life.
One night while playing cards in Colnm
bus, quarrel arose about the game. Ills
opponent wa. known desperate. and he
gave the lie to Wooley's statement about
the game Bowies flashed out simultane-
ously-both were slightly wounded, when
lucky blow laid Woolcy's opponent
dead upon the floor Next morning
Wooley was arrested because he did not
care thatit should he otherwise. Woolcy
had carried his killing SO far that the
Judge felt bound to commit him. in order
to avoid the imputation of being affected
either by fear of his desperadoism or
weahh. Accordingly 10 Jail went Wooley,
The TAILOR was a weak man, weak in
courage and weak to resist the influence
cfa douceur. After bearing his coniine.
ment for day or two Wooley sent for
the jailor.
..See here Jim," said he, "you know
me; you know l never break my word.
Now, l want to go out and have social
game with the boys. You can just leave
me the key, and when it gets bed time !
will come, lock myself in, and it will be
all right"
This argument was enforced by material
considerations; and night after night
Wooley used to come out and enjoy his
nocturnal liberty. The court sitting soon,
he got the case put off, and giving bail in
the sum of $40, 900, was released.
At the next term of the Court, Wooley
was put upon trial; the jury returned a
verdict Of guilty, and the judge sentenced
him to one year in the penitcntiary at
Jackson. The papers were duly made
out, and the sheriff proposed to start with
him for Jackson, but Wooley demurred.
"You know, sheriff." said he, "that the
county is poor--can't afford the trip
and so III let my boy Caesar drive me
down to Jackson, and save all expense.
Got the papersP''
The sheriff produced them, and, ere he
WIS aware, Wooley seized them and put
them into his pocket
"AIl right" said he; 81 shall be oil TO-
morrow morning"
The sheriff knew he had desperate
customer TO deal with, but when he re-
flected that Wooley never broke his word.
and had besides over 100000 worth oil
property he could move, he made n virtue
of necessity, and left things to take their
turn.

THERE'S never dying chorus
Breaking on the human ear,
Ia the busy town before US
Voices loud, and deep, and clear,
This is labor's endless ditty,
This Is tolls prophetic voice.
Sounding through the town and city,
Bidding human hearts rejoice.
Sweeter than the poets singing
il that anthem Of the free;
Blither is the anyil's ringing
Than the song of bird or bee.
There's glory IN the rattle
OF the wheels mid factory gloomi
Richer than e'er snaiched from battle
Are the trophies of the loom.
See the skillful mason raising
Gracefully yon towering pile,
Round the forge and furnace blazing
Stand the noble men Of toll
They are heroes Of the people,
Who the wealth Of nations raise;
Every dome, and spire, and stecple,
Rear their heads in labor's praise
Glorious men Of truth aud labor,
Shepherds Of the human fold,
Tha, shall lay the brand and sabre
With the barbarous things of old.
Priests and prophets Of creation,
Bloodlsss heroes In the fight,
Toilers for the worlds salvation,
Messengers of peace and light.
Speed the plough and speed the harrow;
Peace and plenty send abroad
Better for the spade and barrow
Than the cannon or the sword.
Each invention, each improvement,
Renders weak expressions rod
Every sign and every movement
Bring US nearer truth and God.

The city is filed to OVERLOOKING
with Democrats of every possible de-
scription and shade of opinion. There
is no unity of sentiment among them,
upon any question except to nominate
a State ticket, aud the only ~qualifca-
ton urged in behalf Of applicants is
their ability to make a vigorous can
Eass. The greater part of the leaders
seem to regard Il as unfortunate that
the Convention was called at so early
O day, and are at q loss concerning a
platform. The State Central Com
mittse held a meeting last night, and
arc said to have agreed upon the basis
Of a platform which, It is said, will ex-
cite no discussion, and will be salts
factory generally.
The Interest last night appeared to
have eentered In the nomination for
Secretary Of State, the leading eandi-
dates being Jason b. Brown, of Jack
son, and Col. Norman Eddy, of South
Bend. The friends of Eddy have
effected an arrangement with the
friends of Shoemaker, of Perry, who
is a candidate for Auditor. while
Brown and his allies are working for
Stoll, of Noble, who is also q candi-
date for Auditor. The chances are
about even between them. A Sol
diers' Convention was gotten up
during yesterday afternoon, Of which
General Slack was President, and an
fFort Yas made to recommend Col
Eddy for Secretary Of State, but 1t
failed, their only business resulting
in recommending General Slack for
President Of the Convention.
Tho nomination for Auditor will
Depend upon the issue OF the vote for
Secretary Of State, the leading eandi-
dates being Shoemaker, Of Perry, md
Stoll, of Noble.
For Treasurer. tho contest seems to
lie between James D.. Ryan, Of this
city, and b. T. Jones, Of Columbus.

speedily eclipse Evansville and put
the pretensions Of the latter city to
the blush.
We do not know what to suggest
to our people to turn aside this i'm
pending dom, but presume they will
have to b. content in tho meantime
with the important fact that the mag
nifcent New Orleans and Louisville
steamers, Indiana and Richmond. no
longer regard it profitable to extend
their trips to Louisville, but turn
back from this point. Possibly. when
Newburgh aceompl;shes the great re-
suits in contemplation, they may be
persuaded to run up that far, but for
the present they seem content with
such business as Evansville alone is
able to give them. In view Of this
fact, We are led to inquire Of tho
Louisville Courier Journal if New
buIgh promises to become such
formidable commercial rival to Evans.

District Judge Parrett has Withdrawn,
and an effort was made last night to
place Hon. VIM. Marek, Of Terre

off by Bayless w. Hanna's friends,
and it was said late last night that Par
rett's friends hP1 affected an arrange
ment with the friends Of the "old

by that means. In this District the
contest is still between Samuel I'll

chances in favor Of the former.
