The Tlchborpe case, like most other
sensations, has become infectious A
story comes to US from England of a
gentleman who left his newly.married
wife to seek fortune in the East India
provinces. In course Of time news came
to him OF the death of his wife. which
was attested by what seemed inoontesti-
Ole evidence. He remained in Calcutta
nearly as core OF years, and then returned
to England crowned with honors and q
fortune which would have surrounded
the bride OF twenty years before with all
the luxuries for which tho husband had
expatrlated himself to obtain for her.
ana lie had scarcely reached his native
village before female recognized him
as the husband in fact, and, strangely
enough, corroborated her assertion, not
only by numerous witnesses, but by the
most minute details OF the days that had
preceded their marriage, and the halcyon
hours that attended the honeymoon.

man repudiates the damaging charge

OF witnesses from Indin, who knew him

case of mistaken identity. It is not said
whether the case will be brought into

Prof. Atwater ON Artiicial Lights.

A scientific subject was popularity and pleas
antly treated last night by Prof. w. o., Atwa-
ter, of the East Tennessee University, IN ms
second lecture, under the auspices OF the BOARD
of Trade. The first lecture having, hlled tne
Trade rooms, arrangements were made to a1ora
all seats at HoxsieS Hall. But the success, 81 y
the lecturer on the first night more than nlled
Hoxsies Hall last night by large ana appre-
Ciative audience
The common Illuminating gas, the m0sg use
full as well as the best known source OF hgns'
occupied most of the lecturers attention "a
complete "gas works in miniature was put
upon the stage, which was lighted part OF tne
time by gas made from coal in the presence OF
the audience
The difference in quality of gas and ne e1ect
of different burners were clearly shown. Inc
lime and magnesium lights were Afterwards ex-
hibted. Although scientific analysis was by no
means neglected, the language used was such
as could easily be understood and the close at
tention given the speaker showed the interest
taken in the subject by the audience.
The wish was very generally expressed that
course of lectures might be arranged so as to
take I'D in succession various matters of inter-
est. We trust this wish may be gratifed. Prof.
Atwater is fluent, instructive and pleasant
lecturer, filled with enthusiasm and thoroughly
familiar with his subjects. He can do the Uni
versity great good by his lecturers and we trust
others will follow.

THE CONDEMNED CRIMINALS.
Governor Brown Visits LOgstOn In HI
Cell.

Governor Brown Visits LOgstOn I'm His
Cell.
The Nashville Banner of Sunday says
Governor Brown visited our county Jail,
last Friday, and had Interviews with Log
ston and Presswood, the condemned MUIR
ders whose fearful crimes have been here
tofore detailed in our columns. Clinging
desperately to the hope that their SEN
fences would be committed, they sent sew
eral importunate messages to the Cover
nor, begging that he would come and hear
what they had to say.
The interview with LOgston lasted half
an hour, while that with PresswoOd was
brief, Governor Brown told LogstOn that
he had not had time to examine the pa
pers in his case, but that as he had been ac-
corded three trials by jury and three hear
ings before the Supreme Court, there was
no doubt as to his guilt that could leave
room for Executive clemency. Frankly
but firmly advising him to cherish no vain
hone of pardon or Communication of his
sentence, the Governor impressed upon
him the importance Of preparing to meet
his fate.
Having read carefully the record of the
court in,Presswood's case, Gov. Brown said
to him that he looked upon the crime of
which he had been convicted as one OF the
most unprovoked and inhuman ever COM
could the course of the law be interfered
with in such a case. PresswoOd, however,
showed utter indifference as to his fate,
and had apparently madeu up his mind that
he must die. During the past week all OF
his family visited him, his father having
seen him yesterday and returned home;

A Tribute to Gen. Sales.--future Of I'll.
Life.

George Alfred Townsend writes to the
Chicago Tribune of Sickles in this elo-
quent style:
Sickles has raw-boned soldiers head,
brain and blooded stock seen in it, pur-
pose in his eye, the profile of fertilization,
q hungering kind of law, and the New
York rough of culture dominating all. If
men were to be tried on their suggestions
inner life, Sickles would have long ago
been doomed. But every country has its
individual whose intellect recovered all
things, even the dizziest heights of things
lost-like Lord Byron's fame after his
Greek campaign, or old Lord Cochrane,
who had to assist the liberties Of q hemis-
phere in order to regain his peerage and
Outlive pillory. Among the illustrious
men of America in this age-which has
more illustriOus men in it than all Europe,
| and corresponding exuberance of great
scoundrels-Daniel E. Sickles need yield
| to none i'll triumph over fortune, and luck
always ahead of ill desert. In the great
book of human nature, he will be judged,
II ever; but, however adjudged, not soon
| forgotten.
he has again carried off the honors of
| this repulse of the old Erie Ring. and.
| sticking his crutch in the door-crack of
Gould's office, before that worthv,s Tam
many myrmldons could close it. Sickles
opened the way to victory.
