LONDON, Nov. 14.-The Pelsa1 coal mine in

saved.
New York, Nov. 14.-The Irish leader, the
Hon. Isaac Butt, Member Of Parliament Tor
Limerick, has written q letter to the London
correspondent of the World, in which he says:
IT am sure that no proposal will satisfy, or

will give to an Irish Parliament the control

"No," l cried, "he robbed me there,
and I call upon you to help me to arrest
him for having committed murder. /
saw him throw the body into pond by
the log hut lsst night. Expecting the
same fate I wrote on an envelope these
words: Il have been robbed and mur-
dercd by silas Cass-J. NJ. Barter. You
will find it in the sl:. in the lining of my
Goa, which that man now wears, for he
is Silas Cass."
Scarcely had these words escaped my
lips than Silas again presented his pistol
and this time with better effect, for the
bullet pierced my arm. but at the same
instant one of the horsemen dealt Silas a
heavy blow with his rifle that laid him
inscnsible on the ground.
Silas was handed over to the authori
ties and searched; my envelope was
found upon him. The body was in the
pond az l have described. My story
was told and proved true, and in a few
days | had the satisfaction Of knowing
that Silas Cass was no more.

-.-s-.s...-.--.--
THE BUSTLE.

The Georgia Peoples Press has some line
on seeing lady with fashionable protuber
ance. They have the true spirit of Swift
The following is the conclusion:
When nature first produced the fair,
'Mong other things, it was her care
As the fair form in beauty grew
To shape the back both straight and true :;
Except, indeed. when in a whim,
Some uncouth dwarf, or monster grim,
She favors with q swelled sack,
Perched high in honor on the back
But in these days of wond'rous light
Taste rises in her power and might,
And disapproving natures plan,
She forms bag Of wool or bran,
And where she thinks hump should be,
Straight, in that place hump you'll see;
The names with which the humps abound
Are full of sense rs we'll rs sound
Nothing more dignifed, I'm sure,
Than Bishop, Bustle, or Tourneur
And if some sour, old-fashioned dame
Should tartly ask. whats in a name:"
We'd answer, That cannot scan;
Bu', ma am, the thing is full of bran.''
Now, listen TO me, lady dear,
word I'd whisper in your ear;
Why be so partial to one spot
Why hump one place and others not.
If in the hump such beauty lies,
As u true friend, I'd you advise
To raise the hump on every place.
And then you'd be all over grace,
Then. if we beauties wish to find.
We Iced not always look behind,
A CAREFUL OBSERVER.

shelby Couuty Election Middle.


These are the material points of the bill
filed Wednesday last in the First Chancery
Court at Memphis, in the case of Curry vs..
DOYLE, for the Office of Sheriff of Shelby
county:
First. The exclusion of three hundred
and twenty-five legal voters from the poll
in the 14th civil district of Shelby county.
Second. The prevention of three hundred
legal voters from casting their suffrages in
the 9TH ward, city of Memphis.
Third. The exclusion of eighty legal
voters in the 18th civil district Of Shelby
county.
Fourth. The prevention of seventy-tive
voters, by intimidation, at Bolton, in the
Sd civil district of Shelby county, from cast
ing their votes.
Fifth. The driving away by violence in
the eighth civil district of Shelby county of
the party distributing Curry tickets.
Sixth. At the poll in the eighth civil dis
trict, held at Wythe depot, the votes cast
for Curry were counted for Doyle, and rice
rerSG.
Seventh. AT the poll held at Bartlett, in
the sixth district, either by fraudulent
count or by the destruction of ballots de-
posted in favor of Curry, and by substitu-
blOu OF DdllOGS IOT Ooyle, uSJOIIIy Ol one
hundred and thirty-One was returned for
Doyle instead Of Curry, as it should have
been.
Eighth. In the first, third and eighth
wards of Memphis large number of illegal
votes for Doyle were cast and received.
Ninth. Irregularities in the conduct Of
the election by the officers holding the same
are apparent on the face of the returns,
which otherwise manifest sufficient cause
to invalidate the election.
The above constitute the principal ale
cations of the bill which il was thought
would receive an early hearing, the defen-
dant being anxious to meet the issue.

Clear as Mind.

The Banner publishes to-day what would
be, if ineligible, all interesting account Of
the introduction Of ga new illuminating
agent" viz: "Oxygen Cas-" a substance
we'll known to be incombustible. 1t would
appear to be a condensed statement Dor
r0wed from some scientific Journal, but I'M
fortunately the condenser is evidently igno-
rant of the A B of chemistry, the alb
abs of orthography, and the first rudments
of English grammar.
A careful scrutiny of the article shows
that il is intended to describe practical
utilization of the old and familiar cOmbina-
ton of oxygen with hydrogen, but the de-
tails of the process are not remarkably lucid,
and the safeguards, if any, against dangers
from the use of such an explosive com
pound, and the means of counteracting the
intense heat arising from its combustion,
are not mentioned. If any one of our
practical chemists, who are posted in this
matter, would tell what they know about
it, it would be mighty interesting reading
and also refreshing as a change from a sur
felt of politics.
The Banner man writes and prints
nndndngdRGteS about dozen times in bis
'piece." There is no such word in the
English or any other language.
