MARROW ESCAPE.
An Ancient Document.

In looking over some papers of Mr.. James
Perkins, who about 1920 was leading cit
zen of Williamson county, some of his de-
scendants have recently found some rare
and interesting documents, many of them
being bills of exchange or drafts drawn
by General Jackson, as Major Gem
erl commanding the division of the
South in 1918, on the Branch Bank of Ten
nessee, then located in Franklin. These are
in the handwriting and signed by Gen. Jack
son. They were drawn upon J. c. Calhoun,
then Secretary Of War, in favor of and en-
dorsed by Matthew ID. Cooper, who was
then the Cashier of the Branch Bank of
Franklin, and is the father of Judge VIM.
+. Cooper, of this city. The following is a
true copy of one of these ancient docu-
ments

SINGULAR MISHAP.
Destruction of n Circus by Fire-A Tent
and Forty Horses Burned.


Through private letter the Milwaukee
Sentinel obtains the following statements
respecting losses which have befallen Older'S
circus, at Reedsburg while it was Oh its
annual tour through the interior of Wis
conSin.
Older's show combines 4 circus, museum
and menaSeTie, and consequently required a
large number of horses for the tIanspOrta-
ton of the wagons and cages. Of 80 be-
longing to the institution, forty-one were
destroyed by fire. On the conclusion of
their entertainment at Reedsburg, on We'd
nesday night. eighty horses were provided
with quarters under three large tents on the
place of exhibition, each containing respec-
lively twenty-five, twenty-Seven, and TWEEN
weight horses. About :; O'Clock in the
morning, when nearly ready TO start for
Baraboo, the men Went to breakfast, leav-
ing no one in charge but hOstler belonging
to one of the side shows. Shortly after their
departure the tent on the eastern extreme
of the line, filled with straw to the depth OF
three feet for bedding purposes, caught fire
from q torch, and i'll short space of time
nineteen horses were roasted To death.
Twenty-one were rescued in a damaged
condition, some with their eyes burnt out,
some entirely skinned, and others with their
hoofs 50 badly burned that blood streamed
from their feet at every step. They were
removed tothe stables of the Mansion House
and Northwestern Hotel, where, after in
spection, a number were put to death.
Several of the poor animals, wild with eX-
element and pain, strayed off into the coun-
try, and were found three or four miles
from the scene of disaster. The horses
belonged mainly TO the baggage wagons,
the company losing only one ring horse.
The fire was severe blow to Mr.. Older,
whose loss is estimated at $4,000. The
company, though sadly crippled by this UNI
| toward circumstance, will, through the ener-
gy Of the proprietor, renew its engagement
for the season as soon as he can obtain a
new complement of draught horses. The

MRS. FRENCH:s NEW BOOK.
.sMy Roses: The Romance Of n June
Nav.


\ few days ago, upon the reception Of an
advance copy of the above entitled book
from the publishers, we referred briefly to
it as a work that would elevate the standard
of Southern literature, and reflect additional
credit upon its already well known author.
Mrs. French is distinguished as one of the
first of Southern writers, but this being the
first Of her prose works i'll book form, We
/ take pleasure in saying that it will add
greatly to her reputation as a pure, graceful
and energetic writer, and will inspire the
hope that it is only the beginning Of q series
of books that may ranh with the classics of
our section and times.
"My Roses is out of the line of current
fiction It's subject is new-Out of the beat
en- track. The plot is simple, its charact ers
few. its time short, its course intense, and its
close pleasing. To give the reader ali idea
of it without destroying its interest to those
who are to have the pleasure of reading it,
We may say in brief, that couple, affianced,
visit picture gallery i'll the city of New
Orleans. and are both enamOred of picture
accidentally observed. They sought its
original and found her an inmate of house
known as the "HdiSOn DIES Bij0isr," Il com
laon resort for the dissipated. They visit
her, and resolve TO rescue her from the life
Of inf;my with which she was threatened
This resolve was executed by the heroic eX-
ertions of the lady who was about TO be-
ONE bride. The plot and
its action is brief, but absOrbingly
Intense. Each chapter, indeed each sen-
tencc Increases the interest of the story to a
degree that is rcSistless, and the reader can
not lay aside the book till it is finished.
Ii never tags-it is wonderfully
free from platitudes-it is all
nerve and action and courage. Its lesson
cuts right and left, and shows what the
fearIessness of active, brave virtue can ac-
complisll when struggling with imquity.
Its scenes are bold and striking-forming a
series of pictures ready TO be transferred to
canvas, and scarcely to be Obliterated from
memory. r.------ asts... ...
Its style is neither tame nor tlugid, Dut
strong. flowing and graceful. 1t does moi
stray away for metaphors, nor strain after
grandicquence, but is terse, vigorous, ele-
waited and easy. The Interpolation OF the
! French may be considered too frequent by
the majority of readers, but to the chaac-
tcIs il is appropriate, AMI often most
happy. ...s. 81
Ne congratulate Mrs. French upon the
/ very decided success of this effort, and
! trust il may be- the harbinger Of much very
, choice and very delightful reading from her
4 brain and heart and pen. r.
