The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1871-07-27


Every year, it is estimated, about ten
thousand people in India die from snake
bites. The deaths from wild beasts may
not be SO numerous but they spread
more terror. The man-eating tiger is
the special object of dread The taste
for human flesh once acquired, grows
stronger by indulgence. There was an
old tigress of Kumool which carried off
sixty-four persons in nine months Her
average allowance was o man every
three days. She broke up the post
routes, and scared away the laborers
from the public works. A tigress in
Chindwarrah slew one hundred and fifty
people in three years, causing the ADAM
donment Of the villages and throwing
two hundred and fifty square miles out
of cultivation. In one district Of Lower
Bengal one thousand four hundred and
thirty-four people were killed in six
years, and in Bengal proper there were
13,40l deaths by wild beasts in the
same period. During this time it has
cost the government 9G,500 in rewards,
to secure the killing OF 1896 wild
beasts.

HAND CUT OfF.-Tum Elliot, OF e.
liot Brothers, mill, Hume and wood
men, lost his right hand about 3
o'clock yesterday morning, 1t the
Summit mill, near the head Of Clear
creek. He MAS attending = circular
saw, aud having All iron bolt in his
hand, got so near to the saw that il
caught the bolt and jerked his hand
sszinst it. In an instant the thumb
aud little finger were entirely severed
from the hand, and the sxw striking
ihe INSIDE Of tho wrist. paved diagon-
ally through To the skin on the back Of
she hand. The wound Ia staunctied
and the sufferer wxs brought to this
city, where he underwent . further
nmputatiun of about TWO inches OF
the bpne. Elliot has always been ex
lreInely careful in working about the
saw, and is unable to accoun for the
scrident. He has been in bad luck Of
!aie, having met with two other ACCT
dents within u week. A few days
since the sieeve Of his understirt vas
caught between a hand and n revOlv
ing Wheel. but with great presence OF
mind he threw himself back ward with
kreat violence and tnre the sleeve OFT
AT the shoulder. On Friday a steel
chip from the saw struck him In the
eye and he came to this city to have il
extracted. lie left here yesterday
morning. his eye still being consider
ably intiained, aud the loss OF his
hand may he attributed to his impair
ed sight. which doubtless led to q
characterization AS to distance. After
The wrist WAS aiuputAied Mr.. Elliot
WAS taken to the White House, where
he will probably remain for some
days.

Yesterday morning-the first freeze OF
the season. The bar keeper in a GER
tain saloon endeavored. at all early |
hour to ''freeze out" one of his custo-
tners who had been sitting by the stove
Ali night. The mixoIogist put on al
heavy overcoat and then allowed the
nre to go ont. His customer slept
comfortably in a chair until daylight,
when the bar keeper awakened him
and asked: "In the name of the
Arctic regions, my friend, what coun-
trynIan are you?" With a yawn, the
sleeper replied: "Why, I'm a native
OF L~apland!" He was a genuine Lap
lander, sur enough-and the bar
keeper says he will. enquire the nativi
~ ofIoungers hereafter before attempt
ing to freeze them out by letting the
Ore 60 down.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1871-04-29

LEGAL TENDER DECIsIoN.-A year ago the
Supreme Court of the L. s. decided that the
legal tender act of congress, in SO far as it
undertook to discharge gold contracts entered
into before the the passage of the legal tender
act by the payment Of greenbacks, was uncon-
stitutional and void This decision, SO emf
nently just and consistent with common sense
as we'll as common honesty, for certain pc
cuniary reasons, greatly displessed President
Grant and certain radical leaders, and they
put themselves to work to have it reversed.
To accomplish this, it was first necessary to
have two new Judges of the proper stripe"
on the Supreme bench. These were procured
by the appointment of Judges Strong and
Bradley to fill vacancies that had occurred.
Then proper case WAS fixed up, and new the
court, standing to 4 reverses lts former de-
clsOn and makes new enc 70 suit the Pres
ident and his speculatlng congeners. This is
the plain English of it, and it is the saddest
fact Of ali in the rapid downward tendency OF
our national morality that radicaism has at
length been able to compass the prostitution
of the Supreme bench.

The French Situation.

In our last we attempted to give our readers
some idea of the character and aims of the
different parties contending for the mastery in
France. To such it will be no surprise ia
learn that among the two organizations within
the city of Paris that are fighting against the
party of law and order outside, jealousies and
| contentious have arisen. and that the Com
mrne, feeling itself the stronger, has under
taken to arrest the National Committee. The
excuse gwen was that the committee was ne
gotlating with Theirs to betray Paris
Thereupon the National Guards, who are
mostly under the influence of the committee
threaten to arrest the commune, and between
the two, at last accounts, the authority Of
neither seemed to receive much respect and
something akin to perfect anarchy IeigAed.
The only authority respected by both parties
is that of Gen. Clauseret, and he threatens to
retire in disgust
Meantime the Theirs party, or assemblsts,
outside are being rapidly reinforced by the
returning prisoners from Germany, among
whom, besides many thousand veteran soldiers,
are such noted Generals rs Mcmahon. Conro-
bert, Faidherbe, &c, all of whom have enter.
ed the service of the Theirs government, the
party OF law and order. Then the Prussians
have been instructed by Bismark, as rapidly
as they evacuate the posts and neutral ground
around Paris, to allow them to be occupied BY
the government forces, which gives them
another great advantage, so that Paris is again
about as closely invested as it was at any
time during the German siege.
The fighting during the week has been
mostly in the direction ofNeuilly and Asnieres
On Thursday of last week there was desps-
rate battle, in which important ground was
gained by the government. On Saturday an.
other terrible battle was fought, in which the
insurgents" were again discounted.
The bombardment, which is steadily kent
up, is said to be more destructive than at any
time under the Prussians. The Arc de
Triomphe has been battered down, and the
column IN the Place Vendome has been rased
to the ground. All appearances indicate that
the end is nigh, and that certainly within
week or two Paris must again surrender.

When the Illinois legislature recently adj
journed, it left about 90 bills which it mad
passed in the hands of the Governor either to
veto within ten days, or sign, or allow to be-
come laws by default. At the rate at which
the Governor has been vetoing these bills,
there promises to be little left of them when
he gets through. 1t is already announced
that he has vetoed the following bills "Aa
act relating to sales under powers" This was
little steal Of Mrs Myra Bradwell, the object
OF the bill being to legalize advertisements of
sales under trust deeds if inserted in the
Chicago Legal NenS, although the deeds them
selves may require the advertisements to be
inserted IN other papers. An act providing
for an investigation of the penitcnnary; An
