nr KRlInYsa Lecture.

The Circulating Library Association of
Columbia has instituted a series of popular
lectures, the proceeds OF which will be used
for buying new books in addition to IT'S al
ready valuable collection. Rev. DR.. D C. Kel-
,ey of Nashville accepted an invitation from
our LibraOy Association, and lectured in the
AthenRum study hall, on the 18th instant; &C.
cOrdmg to previous announcement his subject
was China and China Customs, the preform-
ance being cnlivened by the presence Of live
Chinaman who entertained the audience with
some specimens Of his vocal music.
Some twenty years ago, we understand, DIR.
Kelley was missionary to China. and his lee
ture was the result of several years experience
in that country. By special request the even
ing opened with a beautiful piece of music
from one of the Athenaum pupils; this pian''
performance showed considerable artistic skill
and such delicacy of touch as is rarely pos
sessed by a schoolgirl. Rev Mr.. Meier
rim introduced the Chinaman, who favored the
audience with song IN genuine Chinese
words and music; after the lecture was oyer
the live man from China sang another song,
and favored number of the ladies with his
autograph.
DIR. Kelley, before beginning his lecture,
had arranged number of Chinese curioslties
before hIm on the table; these he used in Illus
tration of his remarks. Our want OF space
makes it impossible for us to do DIR. Kelley
justice; indeed, the lecture should have been
heard i'll order to be appreciated; however, the
audience seemed to be especially pleased with
the Doctors account of his voyage to China,
his visit to the house of a Chinese gentleman,
the innumerable families living upon boats, d
street scene in Pekin, the literary customs,
the coolies, and last but not least Chinese
wedding. DR.. Kelly closed his very interest,"
ing lecture by saying that be considers the
missionary field il China more hopeful to-day
than it eyer was before. The lecturer is so
well known in this community that it would
be useless for US to attempt to add one laurel
to his we'll established reputation as a speak
er; suffice it to say that this lecture cOmpar g
very favorably with his former distingui shed
speeches in Columbia and elsewhere.

Wanfed---A Man.

To the Editors Of the Herald aud Mail:
The very inadequate pay allowed our
legislators, keeps many of our ablest men
from aspiring to the State council 1t
should not be so, however The Legis
lature should not DO filled by men who
go there for tine sake of the pay. They
should be actuated by higher impulses
and aims. 1t is high honor 10 make
laws for the free and intelligent people
of great commonwealth; and this OF
itself is enough to induce men of noble
impulses and laudable ambition to serve
the people, When the liberties of free
people are endangered, the ablest and
best men in the land are found ready to
go forth to danger and hardship without
prospect of reward or profit. The liber-
ties of the people are always endangered
by bad and weak men getting into high
official position, and the same noble inn
pulse that carries the man of culture and
ability to the tented field, should also
prompt him to less glorious, perhaps,
but no less important service in the be-
half of his people. With these prelimi-
nary remarks, l come directly to the
object of this communication. We need
good mon, able men, true men, IN our
next Legislature, and Maury, the ban
ner county, should send one who in eV-
cry way will represent her, and reflect
honor upon her, an credit upon the
State. l have such man in my mind,
if he will consent to The sacrifce-Capt.
James B. Murphy, late the talented edi-
tor of the Columbia Mail. He has serv-
ed his country CALAMITY on the battle"
field, will he serve it in the Legislation
balls of the Slater He is a yodng man
of culture, ability and commendable
ambition, and would make a record
there which no man would be ashamed
to have 60 before his constituents. II
Capt. Murphy will consent to run, we do
notbelieve it will be necessary for him to
undergo the modification o. travelling
all over the county and using all the
politicians arts to ensure his election.
The people of the county know him, and
will, l believe, elect him. 4 VOTER.

A Nnin,IItnrConcern

To the Editors ofthe Herald and Mail.
The swiadling concern mentioned be-
low has at least one agency here, sc
yon will do good by exposing 1t. Tlearn
that a good many have already been
cheated by it bv sending money for
goods they stand poor chance of re-
ctiving Yours truly, 9.
From New York Tribune, Nov. 18th.
The Western Rural calls timely attention to
what it declares it has full authority for as
sorting is a most fragrant swindle, conducted
under the name OF the "Union Furnishing
Company" with headquarters at Chicago.
"Tbe plan is 10 sell certificates at % cents
each, payment Of 81 additional on which en-
articles, each represented as worth double
sale of certificates alone will afford good haul
the "ageuts." The goods are not promised to
be delivered until Dec. IL next" Schemes of
this kind have been so frequently exposed in
the Tribune that we do not believe our readers
are likely to be gulled by their palpably tcti>
tious promises. There never yei was person
so philanthropic as to make it abusiness to sell
dollars worth of anything without payment
of the full amount of its value, and when one
is found who seems to vary from this rule of
trade it is safe TO set him down as a rogue, and
to let him entirely alone.
The firm in question has sent US a
circular, in which they state that they
have sued the Western Rural Tor libel,
and have gained $25, 900 damages.--EDs.

4 Sister PrOSeCuIeS her Brothers for
Murder.

w. ]. and Sambo Cook, brothers, now
in the Columbia Jail, charged with the
murder of Mr.. Short, in Marshall cOun-
ty, were rec snCly arrested in Ellis cOun-
", Texas. The prisoners are brothers,
aged respectively about twenty-five and
twenty-three years. Some three or four
years ago, a sister to these boys lived
with an uncle in Marshall county, Tenn,
being left orphans in their childhood.
The sister grew up to wOmanhoOd, and
became quite pretty and accomplished.
She had lover, very worthy young
man, but against whom by her uncle,
who was man of strong prejudices, the
most unbounded hatred existed. The
young people had tried to gain his cons
sent to their union, but he swOre relent-
lessly against it. Finally the young
people determined to marry anyway.
The bridegroom came on horseback, and
clandestine elopement was effected;
but they had hardly ridden out of sight
/ before the unteeling uncle, having as
certained the fact, had his nephews to
arm themselves and mount, and pursue
in hot haste, the fugitives. They over
took them on the road and shot him
from his horse; then turning, they fled
and left the sister with the man of her
choice, MORALLY wounded. At this stage
OF affairs, a justice of the peace rode up,
and the young man having procured a
1 license prior to his visit to the house of
his beloved, at her request the marriage
was conSummated, and she receiv ed at
the same time the orange blossom of the
bride and the weeds and distress of the
widow, for with the same breath that he
vowed to love and cherish his spirit took
it's flight to the unseen shores.
The murdererS fed into Mississippi,
but were soon after captured and brought
! back to TeDneSsee. Sometime after a
Jail delivery was effected, and they made
their escape again, and have been at
! large until their second and present cap
| ture. TIE sister of the murderers and
! widow OF their victim is now the prose~
cutting witness. The murderers were
| brought to the Maury county Jail, and

their trial at Lewisburg, Marshall coun-

Maury HambIetOuian,

Last week we stated that Col. 7. W.
Keesee had returned from recent trip
to New York, where he purchased fine
young colt for the Trotting Association.
Since our issue the colt has also arrived,
and has been visited and greatly ad-
& Dodson's stable. Col. Bruce, editor
of the Turf, Field and Farm, suggested
the name of an ury Hambletonian" for
the colt; but the Trotting Association
will choose the name. In the article
below, copied from the Turf, Field and
Farm. high authority on horse matters,
Col. Keseee is mentioned as the Presi-
dent of the Maury County Agricultural
Society. He is the President of that So
trotting stallion in the capacity
of President OF the Trotting Associa-
lion. 1t will be seen by reference to the
pedigree of "Mauly Hambletonian, 'giv-
en- below, that he is closely allied to Gold
smith Maid, the fastest trotting mare,
horse or gelding in the world; and also
to Jay Gould, who has the best trotting
stallion record in the world:
"Mr T. w. Keesee, President of the
Maury County (Tenn,,) Agricultural
Society, has purchased from J. M. Mills,
Bullyille, Orange County, n. Y, fine
young Hambletonian stallion. He is a
bay, two years old last May, has three
white feet and star, is sired by Impe
rial (son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian, J
dam by Alexander's Abdallah (son of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian and sire of
Goldsmith Maid, Thorndale, Rosalind
and host of other good ones; I'd dam
Lady Sanford Jay Gould's dam, by
American StarG Sd dam by a son of
Henry, the competitor of Eclipse. The
colt is l515 hands high, with fine trot-
ting action, and could not be better bred
for trotting sire. The colt has been
shipped to his new home"
The Trotting Association paid $1,000
for the colt, besides the expenses
of shipping it here, etc, which were con-
Siderable.
