ALMOST A RIOT.

From the Pulaski Citizen, Sept 4.
The colored school st Rocky Mount, on
Buchanan's creek, in this county, was out
last week and the examination exercises
closed on last Thursday with barbecue.
The barbecue was being conducted with
great order and enjoyed by all when a dis
Curb2nce was raised by two drunken ne
goes named Dsyy Dixon and Jim Johh-
son. They were advised to be quiet, but
the s6uonitions ofpeacemakers Lly served
to increase their ire, and finally johnson
brought tn logs to point by drawing

about an hour johnson vent PACK 10 tne
crowd ostensibly to have The alfncnlty ami
cably settled, but he was Eet upon Dy Que

A LOBSTER FARM.

Ii order to keep up a supply, a lobster
farm has been established within the last
year on the coast of Massachusetts. A
space of thirty acres of fats In an arm of
the sea was enclosed by dyke, with
an arched way in the centre, to permit
the ebb and flow Of the sea, the tide rising
three feet inside and eight feet outside.
During July and Angus of 1872, 10000 Of
all age, siYes and conditions were let loose
in the pond. Food, consisting of refuse
from the fish market, was plentifully sup
piled to them, and the gate was put up to
prevent their ESCAPE to the sea. Last win
ter holes were cut in the ice and traps were
put down. Good hardshell Holsters were
caught, thus proving that the water was
deep enough and pure enough to keep the
fish alive, and that the Holsters were healthy
having taken on their hard shells, and hav-
ing recovered their lost claws. This spring
about 1900 male Holsters were taken out
and SOLD, the female Holsters having been
thrown back for breeding purposes. Few
are aware OF the great length of our seacoast +,
measuring all rays and inlets of water, and
how large the business of raising oysters,
clans, HOLSTERS and other fish may become

A NEW AmERTCAN VOLCANO,

The Central City Register, of Colorado,
gives an account of the discovery nea. there
of volcano. A man of that place out pro-
speeding saw smoke at distance which he
at first attributed to a fire in the woods.
But second thought convinced him that was
not possible, as its locality was far above
timber line. So, with the usual zeal of a
prospector for something new, he clambered
up and down and over several ridges of the
main range until arriving at the place he
found himself on the edge of q
veritable crater. The place had evil
IDENTIFY once been the scene of
great and long-continued volcanic action,
for there were plainly to be traced the rim
of pre- historic crater about one mile in
diamater. Within the ancient bowl, and
near one edge, the young volcano had COM
menced operations. It did not emit vic.
lently while he vas there, but contentedi
self with an occasional spasm, the resL|0f
the time smoking as placldly as an old to-
bacconist. But the best proofs of his story
are bits of lava, evidently of recent origin,
and several Jumps of scoria. A large party
will start from here to-day, determined to
authenticate or disprove the matter. Seye-
raj men have been there, and all return
with lava trophies.

another Bold Attempt to Break Jail

From the Press and Herald, Sept. 5.
Ga Wednesday night, Ell. Staples, with
pair of shears and razor, which he had
been allowed to keep, being barber, cut
the iron roi which binds the bolts Of the
door, slipped out the rod and felt free. He
next opened the cell of Mangrum. These
two went up stairs and unlocked the cells
in which r. q. Mynatt and Ganum Mynatt
were confined. These points were not
known until 7:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, when Mr.. DeArmond, the jailer, went
to carry breakfast to the prisoners. He had
been in but moment before the two N.Y.
aatts, Mangrum and Staples rushed from
behind the Stair-stpps and attacked
him. Mangrum and Ganum Myna t,
seizing DeArmond, thr9w him down
on the floor. The overwhelmed
taller, cried for assistance, when Mangrum,
placing his hands over Diamonds mouth
pulled the pistol from bis grasp and run
ming down to the rivers edge jumped into
the water and swan off to alittle green
islet few hundred yards distant. DeArm-
ond procured another pistol, ran to the
river, and with two or three other men in
yawls followed the runaway. DeArmond
ordered Mangrum to halt, which he alleges
the prisoner positively refused to do, where
upon DeArmond fred at him, but
without effect. Mangrum got out on the
island, but was evidently too much ex-
hausted to go any further, and when the
yawls reached the spot, DeArmond sgain
ordered him to halt. The jailer alleges
that the prisoner not only refused to do
so but semed strongly inclined to
resist any attempt to arrest him, and
he shot again, the ball striking Mangrum in
the fleshY part of the thigh. The prisoner
was then collared and brought back across
the river to the jail, where he is now doing
well. Ganum Mynatt ran only short dis
lance when he was arrested. In jumping
the fence near the jail, he spraiDed his ankle
very severely, which late last evening caused
him much pain. r. FL. Mynatt was arrested
near thesgas works and safely lodged in his
former abode. Stsples ran down to the
wharf, just above the bridge, where an eff
fort was made to arrest him by some parties,
which he stoutly resisted. After few mo-
ments bis arrest was accomplished, and his
friends will again find him domicled in bis
old quarters.
The attempt to escape was almost success
ful, and but for the timely assistance,
the prisoners would probably now be at
liberty,

RRATING A RAILROAD.

Two Young ladies of Morristown, n. j..
PLAYED a game on railroad the other day,
which for sharpness is not often surpassed.
Arriving in New York on their way home
from summer trip, they bought tickets to
Morristown, By the Morris and Essex rail-
road, and politely requested the baggage
master to forward their trunks, seventeen
in number. This official rs politely de-
clined, on the ground that each pas
seneer was allowed but one hundred
pounds of baggage, and informed the
ladies that their trunks would have to be
sent by express. On inquiry at the express
Office they found it would cost one dollar for
each Grunk, which seemed little exorbitant.
The fare from New York to Morristown is
eighty cents, so after brief consultation the
ladies' walked to the ticket Office and bought
fifteen tickets, each one being good for a
passenger and trunk. These they exhi lited,
and the baggage official gave the la les the
checks which they sought. The result of
this financial man9euvre is that the Misses
Hunter have fifteen tickets, only two being
demanded of them by the conductor; as
they are good until used. according to stipu-
lation, the company may bs compelled to
transport fifteen passengers, with as many
trunks, if necessary, from New Yo;k to
Morristown,

concerning womens rights. The idehtl-
fcation Of woman with man, as the basis
Of the institution OF the family, is scoded
at. Any ownership in woman, that
comes OF the gift Of herself TO him, and
the assumption Of the possession by him,
with its lifelong train Of obligations and
duties, is contemned. II is assumed
that interests which are, and must for.
ever remain identical, are opposed to
each other. Men and women are pitted
against each other in a struggle for
power.
Well, let it be understood, then, that
men are opposed TO these latter-day doc
trines, and that they will remain so.
They are determined that the identity OF
interest between men and women shall
never be destroyed; that the sacred own
ership in women, bestowed in all true
marriage, shall never be surrendered
that the family shall be maintained, and
that the untold millions of true women
in the world who sympathize with them
shall be protected from the false philoso-
phies and destructive policies Of their
few misguided sisters, who seek to turn
the world upside down. Political con-
ventions may throw their sops to
clamoring reformers, but mean moth.
ing by it. They never have redeemed
a pledge to these reformers, and
we presume they have never in
tended to do so. They expect the mat
ter to blow over, and, if we do not mis-
take the signs of the times, it is rapidly
blowing over, with more or less thunder
and with very little rain. In the mean
time, if the discussions that have grown
out of these questions have tended to
open broader field to woman womsnly
industry, or obliterated unjust laws from
the statute book let every man rejoice.
No good can come to woman that does
not benefit him, aud no harm that does
not hurt him. Humanity is one, and
man and women rise or fall together
