Attention, BeauX.
KIDD &w2t.

w insert the following at the special request
of some good looking young ladies who think
that it applies to Knoxville as well as Steuben-
vile:
In Steubenville, Ohio, there dwells young
lady who writes to the Herald Of that place eX-
planning the "indgnity" that beaux of Steu-
benvile compel the Steubenville bellies to sub
NIT to. Her caSuS beLL is this
Beau, in girl phraseology, means one who
calls and spends the evening, for which privi-
lege he in turn gallants his lady friend to thea
tres, operas, or concerts. Our gentlemen C)
admirably fulfil the first part of the definition,
but the latter-'aye, there's the rub!' Dear
youths, although papa is willing to pay gas and
coal bills, papa's daughters are not willing to be
annoyed evening after evening, and then, when
a good actor or our own amateurs" give US
Scion Single" or the "Haymakers," we
must ask Mon Pere" to accompany us, or,
failing here, "stay at home" We (the girls
devise bewitchingi tsillettes,n read your favor
lite authors, look coldly upon strangers, and you
have the bravado to attend places of amuse-
ment by yourselves, after partaking Of our hos
pitality and enjoying the home comforts of our
friends.
Certainly this is not to the credit of the young
male population of Steubenville. The writer
Of the communication, it appears, Is perfectly
willing to be annoyed for two or three ave-
nings a week, if the annoyer will compensate
for the annoyance by taking her once in n
while to the theatre

Tragedy in Hawkins County.

We learn the following particulars in regard
to terrible tragedy perpetrated in Hawkins
county several days ago, the horrible details of
which were brought to light yesterday which
show.a depth ofdepravty SO utterly inhuman as
to cause the blush of shame to mantle the cheek
of fiend.:
Between Rogersville and the Junction lived
family named Berry, who it was understood
intended emigrating to the west. Berry and
his wife lived unhappily together and week
or ten days ago had a quarrel soon after which
she disappeared and it was supposed she had
separated from her husband and gone to her
friends.
In the meantime Berry and his family con-
sisting of two grown daughters and one or more
smaller children, made their preparation for
going West and yesterday got aboard the train
for Rogersville Junction. Butt Nemesis was
on the track of the guilty wretches and after
their departure Investigation was made and the
body of Mrs. Berry found buried in shallow
grave in small piece Of woods near the rail-
road. The train was stopped and the entire
Berry family taken to the grave and forced to
view the remains of the murdered woman,
which presented horrible spectacle, the skull
being crushed in a most shocking manner and
her features bearing the marks of the death ag-
ony.
Berry and his oldest daughter beheld the re-
mains with the utmost indifference but one OF
the others was not so callous, and made some
revelations fixing the murder on her father and
duplicating her sisters. The whole family were
in custody when the train left. We trust that
the unnatural husband and daughters will be
visited by the punishment their crime merits.

SLEEPING CAR BURNED.
Collision on the Selma, Rome aud Dalton
ROad-Two Passengers Killed.

Yesterday morning several of the passengers
on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad met
with q narrow escape from a terrible death.
The passengers, eight IN number, were ABOARD
the sleeping car City of Memphis" in charge
of conductor and porter, when, as the train
arrived at Stevenson, Mr.. j. +. Carrie, who
was accompanied by his wife and two little chill
dren, discovered the terrible danger to which
they were exposed and aroused the porter, who
as also the conductor, was asleep. The passen-
gers were then hurriedly aroused and escaped
en- dishabiLIe, and by the time they had all got
ten out the fire had spread so rapidly that the
flames were coming out of the front door. Hur>
ried toilets were made, but SO fierce were the
flames that none could re enterthe car, and only
saved what they took out with them when first
awakened from their sleep. ..r
In addition to Mr.. Garlic and his children
mentioned above, were Capt. Joseph jacques
and his niece Miss Sue Ayres and two gentle
men from Louisville. Mr. G. and children lost
more fortunate, preserving his presence of mind
and saved everything he had; Miss Ayres lost
portion of her wearing apparel, and the gen
Il emen from Louisville were still more untor-
tunate, losing several valuable articles they
were carrying to the State Fair at Columbea, s.
c., and one Of them all his money, Sl75, which
he placed under his pillow for safety and forgot
in his hurried flight. 1880 r.
As soon as the passengers left the burning
car Capt. Jaques had it pulled up 10 the tank,
but there was no water, and finding that its loss
was inevitable the car was pushed out of the
way and left to its fate. The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it originated at the rear end,
away from the stove. There seems to have
been gross carelessness on the part Of the con-
ductor and porter, who, instead of looking after
the safety Of the passengers, calmly slept while
the car was burning.
A collision occurred at Oxford on the Selma
Rome and Dalton Railroad, on Thursday night
b etween two passenger trains, resulting in the
! death of two persons. Oxford is the point
where the trains pass but owing to some un>
known cause the train first arriving ran past

Country girls are not whit behind their me-
tropoltan sisters in the natural elements of love-
illness, but it must be conceded that the city
bellies best understand the art of preserving and
frightening their personal beauty. The most
perfect features lose half their attraction unless
the complexion is properly cared for, and if the
pretty girls of the rural districts wish to compete
with the "Fairstars" of the fashionable world in
