Ku-Klux Outrages.

THE Ku-Klux are carrying things with
a high hand in Cheatham County. On
the night of January 28, company con-
sisting of about twelve masked men went
to the house of Mr.. John Davis, living
some five miles from Kingston Spring,
and demanded entrance. Mr.. Davis re-
fused, but, upon their promising not to
hurt him, opened the door. Oscar Davis,
son of the former, and Mr. Samuel Fin 'cy
were the other male inmates of the
house.
The ruffians asked Finley if he had not
been Federal soldier, and upon his re-
plying in the affirmative they told him
they had been looking for him for eight
years; that he had shot one of them at
Shiloh that their gbostly comrade had
just scratched out of HI, where he had
been for eight years, eating dead
Yankees" They then took Finley into
the woods, and asked him how he pre-
ferred to die. He told them if he was to
be murdered it made but little difference
how. They made him stand at ten steps
of, and fired three shots at him, none of
which took effect They then set upon
and whipped him very severely. While
this was going on, another portion of the
gang was whipping Mr.. Davis, and the
rest were whipping his son Oscar. On
their way to Davis they took a colored
man named Lewis Hannah out of his
house, and whipped him severely. All
the parties were enjoined not to give pub
licity to these outrages on penalty of
being again visited.
Mr.. Finley, who had been in the Union
army, has lived some time in Cheatham
County, while Davis and his son have
lately immigrated thither from Pennsyl-
yania-NdShctUe (Tenn) Tribune.

A Heart.rending Scene.

THE New York World SAYS The most
heart-rending scene of the late disaster at
New Hamburg, New York-the dead Fow-
Ter family-has been removed for the people
of another locality to mourn over their sad
fate. Up to the time of their removal all
the five bodies were laid out at the under
takers rooms. They were all encased in
rosewood caskets, and the lids were kept
open during part of the day, so that the
public mourners could walk in and view
the solemn picture. Here was an entire
family who had all persisted at one fell
stroke, leaving not single one to come
after whengriefe had brought despair and
despair had changed to death. The father
and mother lay side by side, beautifully en-
shrouded, but their distigured faces wrap
ped in white linen and shut out from view.
Near by were two smaller caskets, one
containing the son, and the other the eld-
est daughter. The first was fair haired
boy, aged about twelve years. He was not
mutilated in the least and the expression
on his face was remarkable. 1t did not
resemble that of corpse, or of a person
asleep. He appeared as if he had closed
his eyes, simply feigning sleep, and so life
like was the whole expression that the
beholder was almost constrained to believe
that the eyes would presently open and the
natural lips part in a playful smile. His
sister, girl two years younger than the
boy, was discoloTed on the whole tight side
of the head aud face. The rest of her
body had been protected from the fire, all
except the thumb and forefnger of the
right hand. The arms were folded across
her breast, and the playful hands were
white as snow, save the two fingers that
were burned to black crisp. On one
finger of the loft hand she wore tiny
gold ring, which she carried to her grave
On the other side of the parents was the
baby laid out in a small casket, and en-
shrouded in snowy white. The entire
family were removed together and con-
veyed to the presence of the bereaved
f,iands

Michigan Republicanism.

THE following are the resolutions adopt
ed by the recent Michigan Republican
State Convention:

good party in time of war, ard with fidelity con-
etancy aud mistaken courage sustained the gov
ernment and the cause of civil liberty in the dark
days of the rebellion, until peace and freedom
were secured TO the country, so 1t has proved
go6d party in time of peace, reconstructng the re-

defense Tor the protection of the just rights Of the
humblest man in all the land, and we point to the
candidate of this convention for the office of
Judge of the Supreme Court as man eminently
fitted oy his great legal acqurements, his purity of
character, and his acknowledged ability, as one
worthy to wear the ermine of the highest Judicial
tribunal of the State

Commonwealth to stand by that party, under

Mothers Speak Kindly.

CHILDREN catch cross words quicker
than parrots, and it is much more mis-
chievous habit. WheIf mothers set the
example, you will scarcely hear pleasant
word among the children in their plays
with each other. Yet the discipline of
such family is always weak and irregular.
The children expect Just so much scolding
before they do anything they are told,
while in many home, where the low,
firm tone of the mother or the decided
look of her steady eye is law, they never
think of disobedience, either in or out of
sight. o mothers, it is worth great deal
to cultivate that excellent thing in wo-
mar" a low, sweet voice. If you are ever
so much tried by the mischievous or will
full prank of the little ones, speak low. 1t
will be great help to you to even try to
be patient and cheerful, if you cannot sue
ceed. Anger makes you wretched, and
your children also. Impatient, angry
tones never did the heart good, but plenty
of evil. Read what solomon says Of them,
and remember he wrote with an inspired
pen. You cannot have the excuse for
them that they tighten your burdens any /;
they make them only ten times heavier.
For your own as we'll as for your children's
sake, learn to speak low. They will re-
member that tone after your head is under
the willows. So, too, will they we'll re.
member harsh and angry tone. Which
legacy will you leave to your children p
Erchdnge.

One day, man, who shall be nameless, en-
tered Police Superintendent Doyle's pri-

The courteous chief motioned him to
chair, and asked him to state his case, for
the visitor seemed in a greatly perturbed
state of mind.
"Mr. Doyle" he begun, II have been
swindled, and want you to help me to
punish the scoundrels."

Superintendent.
"See here (producing letter similar to
the above) got one of these things

twenty dollars"
"Well, what did you get in return ?"
asked Mr. Doyle.
"a paper box of sawdust," exclaimed
the visitor, land that's what l want to SIC
you about. wantyou to -
"Stop a Bit" interrupted Mr.. Doyle,
"what did you expect to receive for your
twenty dollars?"
Why-why-just what this states"
stammered the man, holding up the letter.
"And what did you propose doing with
that stuff?' asked the Superintendent, each

and the color of the mans face deeper in
proportion.

Extraordinary Marching Of the GER
mans.

THE Times correspondent with Prince
Frederick Charles writes: Not only in
the grand operations, but even in such de-
tails as riding and carrying messages and
endurance of fatigue, the Prussians are ac-
customed to do hard work well and cheer
fully. The Ninth Corps made march
last month which is certainly one of the
greatest, achievement of the kind in his
tory. 1t has been reiterated from so many
quarters that it would be absurd not to be-
lieve it, During twenty -four hours of the
10th and 18th of December this corps
marched twelve Prussian miles, or about
fifty-four English. twenty-five miles
day for whole corps-infantry, cavalry,
and artillery-have been frequently
marched, and there is not the slightest
sign of wearing out in the army. l repeat
that men and horses are in first rate condi-
ton. They are so well fed that they
would be positively fat but for the daily
exercise No doubt many weak ones have
been killed of, bat that does not alter the
fact that there exists German army
which can undergo all these fatigues and
remain stronger than ever; that it is in the
highest possible state of discipline, and is
led by men of good family, yet not gen
orally rich enough to make any other
career than that of arms.

10 Young Men Oh tho Marry.

- Young men about to marry-ob-
serve the dark girl with large leg
will become fat at thirty, and lie abed
reading novels until midday. The
brunette with slender, very slender
limbs, will worry your soul out with
jealousy. The blonde with large limbs
will degenerate at thirty-tive to the
possession ola pair of ankles double
the natural size, and afflicted with
rheumatism. The fair-haired damsel
with thin limbs will get up at half
past five A. NJ. to scoId the servants,
and will spend nights talking scandal
over tea. The light, rosy girl, with Z
sturdy, muscular, well turned leg will
be just the girl for you. If you can
find red haired girl, with 4 large
limb, pop the question at once. The
short lady, should always possess a
slender limb the tai. should possess
an ample one. These are the rules to
observe in making your choice! We
do not make them nature has estab-
ished them, and we announce them
for the benefit of mankind These
hints are reliable, and prevailing fash
ion make them quite popular.
A cotemporary says in Il lecture to
young men, Don't marry dimples,
nor ankles, nor eyes, nor mouths, nor
chins, nor hair, nor necks, nor teeth,
