An Alabama Woman Wants to Practice
Law

That notorious female, Miss N. c. Stewart,
has again been making herself ridiculous. AT
Gadsden, last week, during the session of the
Chancery Court, she applied for license to
practice. The question of the legality of grant
ing license TO practice TO a woman was re-
tefred by the court TO committee of attorneys.
who decided that she was entitled TO a license
under the constitution OF the United States.
What then followed is told by the Gadsden
Tunes, which says She was then examin-
ell as TO her qualification by Co.'s. Martain,
Aiken, Cain, ex-chancelIor Foste-, Can't. Cum
ningham and j. II. Disque, Esq, who report
ed that she was unqualified and incompetent.
Then came the ting of war. Sire 20, wra,hy,
and said that il was nothing more than she
expected accused the court and bar of rob
bling her. called them band of robbers and
thieves. The Chancellor ordered the Sheriff
to put her ont of the court room, for contempt
of court, and she replied that she had the right
TO speak. The Sheriff started TO take her out.
bnt she declined to be escorted The Chan
cellor then allowed her to remain, If she would
keep quiet, otherwise he would have her put
in Jail. She siIenced."

A handsome young lady living with her par
ents near Memphis, was driven from her home
by her mothers cruelty, and was found last
Saturday, 10y her gray-hared father, in house
of il.fame. She shreked, threw herself into
bis arms and sobbed as if broken-hearted, for
fsNi ten minutes. When asked if she would
go home with him, she said, ''Oh, forgive me,
my ia'her,~ad take me away from here! Take
me home, or fudie" Her prayers and en-

A PITEOUS STORY FROM TEXAS.

MEXARDvILLE, July IS-Since the German
teamster boy killed ore Indian at McKavett,
9th instant, up TO this time scarcely q day has
passed that Indians have not been seen at
some point in the country, but generally in the
| vicinity of Fort McKave,t Mr.. Hamilton. a

Kickapoo creek, and escaped on foot with the
loss of everything but his gun. A large sur
veyins party Mr.. Polk's) was forced to aban-
don their work Oh the Colorado and return 10
Austin.
In Brown and Coleman counties stock and
crops are neglected, and Indian scouting is the
only occupation followed. So it is all the
way up
Here Is an extract from letter from my
sis'er-in law, girl born and raised on the
frontier, written from Camp Colorado:
"Whie Marion is gone, am in continual
dread. and do not know which dread most.

self and children being murdered while he is
gone.
woman and child living near us were
murdered yesterday, and another child, a lit
tie girl eight years old, was carried off. The
name Of TIE murdered woman was Mrs.
Williams She and Il children Were alone !;
she Lad completed her mornings work about
9 O'Clock, and was rocking her little one to
sleep when the Indians entered. They shot
her three times through the body, dashed her
infant against the back of the fireplace, snatch
ed up the little girl and were gone in less
than five minutes.
The wounded mother, in agony of despair,
exhausted her strength IN sna,chng up her
infant from amongst the live, burning Goals of
the fireplace, dashed bucket of water on
the bed, laid her suffering, dying darling mp
on it, and then fell upon the floor to die her
self. She lived to tell her husband all, and
died. The child is not dead yet. 1t is dread
fully bruised and burned, and suffering great
agony, but some think it will live.

A Feeling Tribute to "Pub-Docs. "

A Philadelphia editor thus relieves
his mind OH subject familiar to all
newspaper offices, the inevitable Pub
Doc. 1--WE owe our thanks to Judge
Kelley for the latest Patent Office re-
ports. We already have sixteen hun
dred of these interesting volumes In
our little library. but they have been
read and re-read so many times that
we know every page OF them by heart.
This new volume came opportuneiy
aud gratefully on Christmas morning,
and that night we gathered our little
family around the fire and read 1t
through TO them. The affecting tale
entitled Improvement in Monkey
wrenches.' seemed to touch every
heart, and when we came to the cli-
max OF the little story about Rever-
sible Pieboards,' there was not dry
eve between the front door aud the
stable. During the reading Of the pit
eous narrative entitled 'Gum Washers
for Carnage Axles,' the whole family
gave expression to bolsterous emotion
and the hired girl was so much excit-
ed that she lost her presence OF mind
and went around to her mothers mad
yertently with six pounds Of sugar
and q butter kettle full Of flour, and
came home at night intoxicated. We
can never. sufficiently thank Judge
Kelley for the innocent enjoyment
thus furnished us. The memory Of
that happy evening will linger in our
minds very much louger than that
hired girl ever fingers when she lights
on lot OF substance which she thinks
will suit the constitution of her aged
parent"
