ton before death winged its soul to higher

Mrs. Weber5 Seminary, which occurred
during tie week. At this Seminary it has
been customary for some time past to nave
monthly reviews, at which the patTons of
the school assembled to witness the pro-
gress made Gy the pupils. The session
closed on Thursday last Eith a grand
matinee, at which there was vocal
and instrumental music, Rotations of
poetry and written examinations. On this
occasion Miss Sallie FOute from Georgia
wrote and read a valedictory for her class,
which from its beauty and simplicity, af-
fected every one to tears. The musical part
of the programme was very entertaining,
and il was astonishing to notice tie grace
ful lingering Of the piano keys by some of
the little ones.
At the close of the exercises a number of
premiums wer6 awarded for scholarship.

INTERESTING MURDER TRIAL AT
SPRINGFIELD,

One HUNDRED and Forty witnesses.
In the CiTcuiC Court Of Robertson, his
Honor, Judge James z. Rice, presiding,
was commenced last Tuesday, the case of
the State Of Tennessee vs.. Pool and Ma
hatiy, for the alleged murder Of Thomas
Nicholas. Last summer the deceased left
home early in the morning and never re-
turned, although search wasDmade. Seve-
raj months afterWard, as a gentleman was
walking along near his house, he saw some
thing in the mouth Of his dog. Upon examin-
alton it was found to be part of a hui
man skull. This led to further ex-
animation resulting in the discovery Of a
mans body with its clothes torn OF and
flesh eaten partially off by the hogs. The
body was identified as that Of Nicholas.
The testiu ony which is altogether Of a
circumstantial nature was closed yesterday,
and argument viii open Monday on behalf
of the State by Attorney General ALalIigan,
Cobb and Watts, Scots Of Springfield, and
Gen. Bate Of this city, and by Jno. E.
Garner, A. E. Garner Of Springfield, and
Hon. John +. House Of ClarksYille, in be-
half Of the accused.
Between sixty and seyenty-fve witnesses
have been examined in this case, which is
one Of the most interesting in the jurispru-
dence OF the country. 1t is exciting much
attention, the courthouse being daily packed
with people, as is also the yard around the
building. Although of eircumstantial
character, the evidence is said to be very
strong for the State. The clothing has been
identified most singUlarly as that of Nicho.
las. 1t is proved that the socks were knit
By a very young lady, who made them rib
bed and on a pattern different from any
other kind. The wife Of the murdered man
identified his coat, stating before having
seen it that it had been splced with a diff
ferent cOlored piece Of cloth in the side in
order to make it larger. The pants being
new were identified by showing the scraps
left 10 the cutting. The other portions of
the evidence are equally as interesting, and
the verdict ofthe jury will be eagerly looked
for.

sHIOEING IN PERIL

scarcely in any region of the world is
smoking so common as in Peru. The rich
as well as the pOJr, the old man as well as
the boy, the master as well as the servant,
the lady as well as the negress who waits
on her, the young maiden as well as
the matron-all smoke and never cease
smoking, except when eating, or
sleeping, OF in church. Social distinctions
are as numerous and as marked in Peru
as anywhere else, and there is the most ex-
elusive pride of color and of blood. But
difference Of color and of rank are wholly
disregarded when a light for a cigar is re-
quested, favor which it is not considered
a liberty TO ask, and which it would be
deemed gross act Of incivili.y to refuse.
1t is chiefly cigaritOs which are smoked.
The cigaritO, as is well known, is tobacco
cut fine and dextrOusly wrapped in moist
maize leaves, in paper, or in straw. Only
the labOrers on the plantation smoke small
clay pipes. Qearer than the cigaritOs, are
the cigars, which are not inferior to the
best Havanas. Everywhere are met the
cigarito-tWisters. Cleverly though they
manipulate, cleanliness is not their beset-
ting weakness. But in Peru, and in other
parts of South America, cleanliness is not
held in more esteem than in Portugal and
Spain.

The July Magazines.

The July GALAXY will have the boldness
to publish an elaborate article by Prof
Alexander MacWhorter, contending that
the Cardiff giant" or OnOndsga statue, is
q genuine Phmnician work, of the highest
scientific and antiquarian interest. 1t is
fair to Prof. MacWhorter to say that he is
supported in his vieW-hOweVsr absurd it
may seem to many of us-by good scien-
tifc authority. His GALAXY article gives a
Ph9nician inscription he found on the
statue, with its translation. 1t seems likely
that the Cardiff giant will divide with Grant
and Greeley public attention this summer.
DemOrest'S Monthly Magazine for July
contains an ample store of refreshing liter
ature, including a continuation Of Beck at
the Farm, by Neil Forrest; choice poems
and music, splendid illustrations, fashions,

HOW MIR. SEWARD DREW A RE-
VOLVER ON TOOmBS.

Not long ago a gentleman was telling
me Senatorial anecdote Of, and dating
back to, the ante-bellum days. Mr.. Sew
ard had made a speech-something about
the telegraph-wben Mr.. TOOmbs. Of Geor-
gia, rose to reply, and made a speech
full of personal abuse Of Seward. He
wrought himself into q rage and dashed
about in the most aggressive manner. He
finished and took his seat. As Mr.. Seward
rose from his chair every eye was bent
upon him with the greatest anxiety.
With calm, measured step he walked to-
ward TOOmbs. 1t was noticed that bis
right hand was underneath the rear pocket
Of his coat. There was apprehension
that be was cOncealing a pistol, and
Mr.. TOombs' friends crowded around
him. When Mr.. Seward reached him he
drew out his hand, and opening his snuff
box politely invited his adversary to take a
pinch Of snuff. "Ey Godw said Mr..
TOombs, 'tMr. Seward, have you no feel
ings?" "Take a pinch of snuff, it will
sOothe your agitation He then returned
to bis seat, and without any allusion to Nr.
TOombs or his speech, made an able argu-
ment in favor Of his measure, which he
carried, az GOODNESS and selfpossession will
always win the victory over hot temper and
passionate Observation-Disclosures Letter.

SHOOTING AFEAIR.
Desperate Reueo


Yesterday afternoon Bose Haley and
John McTigue became involved in per-
sonal difficulty on North College street,
near the Louisville Depot, whom
the latter drawing knife made for
Bose. At this juncture Officer Crank in
tervened and selling each endeavored to
prevent further cOmbat, fwhen McTigue COM
lnenced cutting at him, compelling the
officer to let them loose. Being freed Nc
Tigue rushed at Haley with his knife
and before the officer could intervene
again Haley fired at his assailant, the
ball taking effect near the knee
joint. By this time policeman Davis ap-
peared on the scene of action and had bis
clothes ripped extensively by McTigue. In
order to prevent further mischief, Officer
Crank had to use his mace, with which he
knocked McTigGe down. Had it not been
that officer Grams Struck Haley's pistol as he
fired, the shot would in all probability have
been fatal. Haley surrendered himself and
pistol, saying that be had no desire to kill
McTigue, but was only defending himself.
