The Railroad Record of September
21st refers in terms Of approval to a
plan adopted by the Atlantic and
Great Western railway. It Is the
good NapOleOnic plan Of promotion
from the ranks. Most OF the present
officers nave served q complete and
extended apprenticeship on the road.
This Is specially true OfO. y. Lyford.
Esq, the present superintendent and
manager. whoraPpears at once deter
mined to advance the interests of the
road and furnish satisfactory accom-
modations to the general public.
On Wednesday night Grant Oliver
Nat. Caldwell and Anderson Holland,
negroes, were taken from Jail at Win
chester, Tenn, and hanged, by a par
ty Of ten disguised men. They had
been committed, charged with burn
ing a Methodist church and the resi-
dence OF Henderson Wagner. The
church was burned in retaliation for
the burning OF g negro church. Wag-
ner had made himself obnoxious 10
a negro by a contest TO get possession
OF a negro girl hired by him.
General Thomas G. Harrison. Uni
ted States marshal, died at Nashville
yesterday morning. As O as the
sad event became known, a public
2 mn0fInn nf fhn har ard as41-l-- -
spective OF party, was held in the
courtroom, presided over by Judge
P. P. Harrison. They adopted res0-
buttons ia honor Of his memory.
General II. was from Indiana. and
served l the United States army dur
ing the war, attaining the rank Of
brigadier-general.
The Communists are to the French
government what the elephant was
to the man who won him in a rattle.
and didn't know what to do with him
afterward. They have been subdued,
but there is such an army Of them that
to hang or Danish them would be
equally unwise. They constitute q
large portion of the industrial activity
and manufacturing skill of Paris, and
to dispose OF them properly is the
v5xed question Of the moment. Com
plete amnesty might quiet them only
for the moment, while harsh meas
ures might leave in their sting the
eeds OF future retaliation.
The English journals report that
during recent explorations in the Nos
on the shores of Loeb Etive, Argyle
county, Scotland, the remains OF an
extensive lake dwelling we're dIscoy
cred. The platform Of this structure
is sixty feet in diameter, and the
dwelling In the middle is fifty feet
long and twenty-eight feet broad.
There was also discovered in a large
cairn a structure composed of huge
stones, and consisting of two cham
bers, each twenty feet long, connected
by a narrow passage of nearly the same
length. One broken urn and the re-
mains of four others were also discOy-
cred. Loeb Etive is an inlet of the sea
on the northwest coast of Scotland,
running up for over twenty miles, and
varying In breadth.
One of the most wonderful things
in our system, to foreigners, is the
fashion and extravaganza of ehiIdren's
dress. 81 never vas so surprised In
my LIFE" said q titled lady, q member
of a distinguished European family,
who is in the best society wherever
she goes, speaking of a fashionable
watering place, ''tO see the way the
women and children dressed" "I
think they were disguised with me-"
she went on to say, "ior my little girl
wore common calico in the morning.
and her afternoon frock was of pretty
chintz, while during the three weeks {
that l was there l appeared every day
at dinner in my black grenadine-a
dress, fa~shionabIy made !
and richly trimmed, which, with /!
pOint-lace collar and sleeves, I con- !

The Holden (MO.) Enterprise con- l
tains an account of the recent summa.
ry execution, near that place, OF one {
Jack EdmonSOn, 3 horse thief. It
There were about six persons J
engaged in the affair. They tied a gag :
IN his mouth to prevent him calling .
Tor help, and tied his hands securely )
behind him. The limb to which ne 0
hanged was more elastic than was
supposed, for il appears that when p
suspended his feet touched the o
ground. Intent on hanging him, thew 0
led another rope to his feet and fast a
med that to another tree, thus hang
ng him by both feet and neck, They v
eft q card pinned to his clothes, upOn s.
which was written: The doom of a I
iorse thief" p
