THt DANGERS OF sQUAw's FAs-
CINATIOE.
I he Green Eyed Monster I'm the Camp.
An Indian Husband Kills the Pale
face Invader of his Wigwam.

Accounts reach us of terrible onslaught
by an Indian upon a white man Friday last
at Coldwater, Marshall county, Miss. A
man named Gus Larrantree, formerly a
paper hanger and Old Variety 'bones and
and tamborine" in Memphis, was visiting
his brother-in-law, p. f. Hsnsucker, and
while under the influence of liquor went
to an Indian show at Coldwater. Catching
a glimpse of Jemison's wife, winsome
squaw of pumpkin tinted cheeks and raven
tresSes, Larrantree entered the dressing
room where he commenced the indulgence
of jocular familiarities with the Indian
woman. One or two persons begged him
to desist, stating that Jemison was a passion
ate man, possessing all the violent feelings
known to his wild race. At this period
Jemison entered the dressing tent, and
seeing Larrantree, seized short marine
spike, with which he struck him in the
face, crushing his jaw and telling him to the
ground. While in this position, Jemison
struck Lanen rec directly across the face,
breaking his nose and both cheek bones.
Not satisfied with this cruel and brutal
mutilation, the enrsged Indian, in all his
savage might, jumped upon his bleeding and
unconscious victim, whom he stamped in the
face with his boot-heel, battering it to one
piece of raw flesh. A gentleman who rush.
ed upon the terrible scene knocked the In
dian down and prevented other injuries be-
ing given the already dying man, who was
carried to the house of his brother-in-law
p. +. Hunsucker. Jemison took his show
to Memphis, and after exhibiting there
Saturday was arrested by the police and
awaits requisitiOn from the Governor of
Mississippi. Intelligence from Coldwater,
dated Sunday last, states that Larrantree
was not expected TO survive his injuries.

EDUCATION In JAPAN.

The United States commissioner of edu-
cation has received a long and interesting
letter from Mrs. Mary Pruyn, now in
YOkshama, Japan, but formerly of Albany,
NY, in which full and complete state
ment is given of educational matters in
Japan. She is the head of an educational
institution established by the Women's
Union mission of New York, and reports
that the houses which are now occupied
by them are so small that they have to
turn away daily pupils, male and female,
on account of not having room. She found
the Japanese and Eurasian children in to-
tai ignorance, and in many cases in desti-
tute circumstances. She had hoped that
the ia anese government would buy
large lot for them, and establish the neces-
sarY schools, but they do not appear to
take much interest in the matter. She
described the Yokohama as a good field
for missionaries.

had Accident to a Brakesman.

While yesterday assisting in switching
trains at the depot of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, Jack Mitchell, brakes
man on that road, was very badly hurt by
his head coming in contact with an iron bar
extending across Market street door at
the depot, while the train was moving out.
Mitchell did not observe the iron bar in
time TO avoid contact with it by STOPPING,
and the consequence was that he was pros
trated by the violence of the collision, and a
CHASTITY wound inflicted upon his head. In
an almost dying condition, the wounded
man was conveyed to Linck's Hotel, and
Drs. Briggs and Sneed summoned to rem
der surgical aid. Mitchell is in very crit
ical condition, although the attending physi =
clans seem hopeful that his life may be
saved.

POCKET PICKING.
A Sleepy Marketman Quietly ReIiev-
ed Of his PocketboOk and Contents.


ed Of his POcketbo0k and Contents.
Among the enterprising men who assist
in Supplying Nashville with chickens, eggs,
butter, etc., is Thos. w. Osborne, of Cheat
ham county, a worthy and industrious man.
He came in with his wagon last Monday
afternoon, and stopped for the night at Mr..
Woodfin's stable on Market street. In Or
der TO prevent depredations upon the pro-
duce he had to sell, Mr.. Osborne slept in
his wagon, and being tired by his journey,
no doubt slumbered very soundly. During
the night big rent was made in bis panta-
looms, from the pocket of which a pocket
book containing $54, nearly all in national
currency, was extracted. The act was so
adroitly accomplished as not to disturb or
awaken the sleeping man. Early after dis
covering that his money had thus been
stolen, the police were notified of the fact,
and Immediately set about looking for the
depredatOr. Suspicion rested upon a
young man named Ed. Houtchens, who
was arrested, and S36 found in his posses
sion. Mr.. Osborne. could not positively
identify any Of this money as his own, none
of his bank bills having any peculiar mark
upon them. Houtchens was sent TO the
workhouse to await further devel lpments.
Later in the day Ed. Houtchens was
taken before Justice Baskette, by whom he
was sent to Jail until Thursday next to
await trial on the charge preferred against
him.

THE ACCURATE BoY.-There was your r
man once in the office of a Western rallway
superintendent. He was occupying a posi-
ton that four hundred boys in that city
would have liked to get. 1t was honorable,
and sit paid well, besides being in the line
of promotion. How did he get it? Not by
having rich father, for he was the son of
laborer. The secret was his beautiful
accuracy. He began as an errand boy, and
did bis work accurately. His leisure time
he used in perfecting his writing and aritt-
metic. After awhile he learned to telegraph.
At each step his employer commended his
accuracy, and relied on what he did, for ne
was just right. And it is thus with every
occupation. The accurate boyis the favored
one. Those who employ men do not wish
to be on the constant lookout as though
they were rogues or fools. If carpenter
must stand by his jouneymsn's elbow to
be sure that his work is right, or if cashier
must run over his book-keeper's column, he
might as well do the work himself as en-
ploy another to do it in that way; and it is
very certain that the employer will get rid
of such an inaccurate workman as soou as
he can.

After shooting Bonner, who had no bones

the stock of S. Levy, at that time being re-
moved from his store on Market street,
were yesterday brought before Justice Will
kinson for hearing. Tate, not being able
to make his innocence apparent, was CON-
mitted to Jail in default of bail in the sum
of 1000 for bis appearance at the Criminal
Court. LAWS was more fortunate, being
able to make it appear that he had nothing
to do with the removal or concealment of
the goods. 1t was therefore ordered that
he be released from custody.

ChiorofOrm In Bad Hands.

Two young men, regarded by the police
thieves, called at a drug store on College
street last Monday night, and purchased
five ounces of chloroform. The druggists
did not know them, but gentleman sitting
in The front part of the store, upon being
Told what they had purchased, informed
the druggist that they were professional
thieves. This, however, was after they had
gone. Now the question rises, was that
chloroform made an agent to any robbery
perpetrated that night? Stranger things
have happened, even before this era of
mysterious crimes.

The Duty ON Tea and Coffee.

From Adam Woof, Surveyor of Customs
at this port, we learn that the bill passed by
the last session of Congress, placing tea and
coffee on the free list, and which bill was
approved May l, 1872, to take effect July
l, 1872, this port will save annually an
average of fifty thousand dollars duty,
which has heretofore been paid yearly on
coffee imported into this port in bond. The
duty on the coffee alone that came into this
port during the month of July, 1872, in
bond, and which YVES released without pay
ment of any duty under said act of Con-
gress, would have amounted to over six
thousand dollars in specie.
