The JIM JAMs.-The following is said TO
be an authentic anecdote of a well-known ar
tist. This son of genius, one of the greatest
portrait-painters of his day, was at times such
votary of the bottle that his friends began
to fear that he would be utterly ruined in
body and mind. After one of his periodical
"sprees," several of his friends determined, if
possible, to arrest him in his downward
course, and so went over to his studio, carry
ing in pocket big rat, for purposes which
will be seen. E. sat painting lazily, return
ing to his work after he had greeted his visi-
tors. They took him to task roundly for his
dissipation, declaring that his health was ut
terly ruined, and that very soon he would be
driven into ''snakes," otherwise called deliri-
nm tremens. They pressed the topic, when
finally he rose in passion, and as he did so
the rat was slipped loose, and went flying
among the halffnished pictures. E. gave
chase with cane, calling loudly for assist
ance, knowing that if the animal was not
caught it would work mischief with his can
vas. Not hearing the others move, he looked
round with astonishment, and shuddered vis-
IDLY as he saw them looking at him with
faces full of sadness and pity. They tried to
get him to sit down, saying that he'd ''get
over it pretty soon;'' but he shook them off,
and went silently back to his painting. After
a few touches he stopped and turned round,
with an attempt to laugh that was inexpressi-
bly, painful, and broke out: 'That was good
joke had on you fellows. didn't see dng

An Aer0hatic Editor.

The Indianapolis Journal informs us that
the acrobatic profession met with an irrepar-
able loss when McCullagh of the St. Louis
Democrat attached himself to the profession
ofjournalism. Mr.. McCullagh is possessed of
great natural strength, inherited from his
Scotch forefathers, and while developing his
active mind, has not neglected his magnifi-
cent muscle. He is the best amateur perform
er on the trapeze in the woefd, and can put
most of the professional tumblers to shame
When his editorial labors for the day are
over Mr.. McCullagh sees the forms to press
and then, dressed in simple costume of red
flannel, INDUCES in half hours circus relax
alton, exciting the envy aud admiration of
his subordinates. Turning rapid succession
of fiip-faps two or three times around the
room, his hghtning-like evolutions destroy all
show OF head, arms or legs. and he presents
the appearance of a gigantic rapidity. His en-
thusiastic devotion to base bali is mantle sted
even in his journalism, and he has established
a department which he felicitously calls
''Local Short Stops" Mr.. McCullagh's la
test feat was walking down four flights of
stairs on his hands and carrying wash-basin
midway between his head and heels without

Robert d. Ricketts,, ex-Sheriff of Maui
ry county, killed his brother-in-law,
John l.. Grimes. in Mt. Pleasant, last
Saturday evening. Grimes had been
Lying on a farm belonging to Ricketts,,
for ten or eleven years, and sometime
during the last year, Frank NJ. Ricketts,,
son of r. D., having married, told him
that he wanted the place himself next
year. Sometime ago, difficulty occur
red in settlement between Grimes and
Ricketts, 81 Hagan, and last Saturday
Grimes came to Mt. Pleasant with a
double barrel shot gun under his arm.
He thearened to shoot Bob Ricketts,, Jim
Hagan, and Frank Ricketts,, and the
former was notified of it. Mr.. Ricketts,,
at the solicitation of his friends, put a
derringer pistol in his pocket. He met
Grimes. when the latter caught him by
the collar, and cursed him. Mr.. Rick
etts replied in friendly tone, "Why,
what's the matter, John? What are
you going to do with that gun ?" {" I'm
going to kill you with it," he exclaimed
with an oath, and suiting the word to
the action, and the action to the word,
he pushed Ricketts, from him with one
hand, and fired the gun with the other.
He did not push Ricketts, far enough,
however, and he missed him, the load
taking effect in the side of house.
Ricketts, almost simultaneously pulled
bis pistol out and fired it, the ball en-
tering Grimes's neck and severing the
juguisr yien, causing his death almost
instantly. Mr.. Ricketts, was tried last
Tuesday and acquitted, everybody in
the whole country being firmly con-
WINGED that the killing was done purely
in self defense. Grimes. some two
years ago, was, or pretended to be de-
ranged. He leaves a large and almost
helpless family.

T. he Election.

Enough returns have been received to
unerriRgly indicate the reelection OF
Gen. w. G. Whitthorne, our excellent
Congressman. Two prime causes made
his vote much less than we had reason
to expect,-Democratic voters did not
turn out, aud large number of his
friends, thinking he had sure thing of
it. and believing that his Radical oppo-
nent, Col. T. Hannah Gibbs, did not
stand a ghost of a chance, snapped him
off. No man under the sun is more pop
ular with the people of our county than
Gen. Whitthorne, and they are deeply
mortified at their own conduct, after
Seeing how narrowly he has escaped de-
feat, through their negligence, or rather
over-cenfdence in his strength. Col.
and is the most popular OF his tribe,
among Democrats, but he will pardon
us for saying that there is great cause
for rejoicing over the election of Gen.
Whittborne, VINO is a tower of strength
to his party, and faithful representa-
i've OF his people. John Frierson is
elected Floater by a very handsome ma
jority. This is quite complimentary to
him, for his opponent, Mr.. luminous, is
a talen'ed and popular young man, and
made an energetic canvass in Maury and
Williamson. Major Akin, the Demo-
cratic candidate for county Representa-
tive, is defeated by A. NJ. Hughes, jr.,
the Independent" or Johnson candi-
date, the Radical and negroes voting for
Hughes almost or quite unanimously.
1t was reported that Mr.. Hughes made
promise to johnson men to vote for
Johnson for U. S. Senator, and one 10
the Radicals, at their meeting on Mon
day night, but We understand he denies
the latter statement.
