Matte Jones, Of Arkansas
From the Missouri Republican.

EIOul tit VI
South Haven, Arkansas, has
a progressive and dangerous
woman-Miss Matte JONES'
This young girl was lately turn
ed out Of a school where
an entertainment was in prog
ress, and was heard to say as
she left that she would burn the
shanty over their heads. In a
few minutes the school-hOuse
was on fire according to prom
ise, and the entertainment came
to ''lame and impotent conclu-
sion." While the extraordinary
spirit of the young woman was
under discussion another pas
sage of her life was laid open.
Her mother had died suddenly
and mystcriously about six
months before, and was gathered
to the great family of JOneses.
Now Matte Jones has a broth
er, a fourteen year old boy, who
overheard his mother and sister
planning his fathers death when
he should return from a short
trip he was making in the wilds
of Arkansas. They arranged
to season his food with the spice
Of futurity, as they both were
tired of seeing him round
Jones was expected home on
a certain day, and on that day
Matte was away aud Mrs. Jones
was delirious with ague, and the
boy was with his mother. Mrs.
Jones asked her son to hand
her a cup of coffee, forgetting
in her delirium that she had
made it especially for her hus-
band. She drank thereof and
died, the boy not knowing
that it contained the dose. Mr..
Jones returned to find his wife
dead, anu the boy told him Of
the conspiracy. After Mattie's
attempt to burn the school-house
the father and boy told what
kind of Il woman Matte is
And Matte Jones is still run
ring loose in .Arkansas.

A Famous Telegraph Op-

Among the victims of the fever
at Shreveport was Alfred Saville,
one of the best-known and most
accomplished telegraph operators
in the country, and attached to
the command of General John II
Morgan during the late war, the
story of whose practicaland profit
able jokes on the Federals enliven.

times. His feats on the enemy's
wires, throwing large forces of
Federal cavalry of the scent, di-
recting them to the right and lett,
their lines for the dash.
ing Morgan to sweep through in
quest of men and horses, are a.
mong the most romantic Incidents
of the war. Few have forgotten
how, early in the game, he took
possession of the wires between
Nashville and a body of federaIs
operating in Southern Kentucky,
giving peremptory orders not to
send any more tro' ps, but plenty
of provisions and ammunition, and
how an old friend, then in charge
at Nashville, detecting the pecu-
liar touch or lingering of the bo-
gus operator, flashed back to him
this good. .humored answer: Get
out, Saville, or I'll send the cavaI-
ry after you." Saville voIeuteer-
ed bis services at Shreveport after
every resident operator had been
stricken down, and died at his
post.

The Seven Sleepers.

'It would awaken the seven
sleepcrs," is a common saying;
but we venture to say that half
who use it do not know its ori-
gin. The legend runs that sew
Ell noble youths of Ephesus,du-
ring the persecution of the
Christians by Derius, a Roman
Emperor of the third century,
fled and took refugein cavern,
and having been pursued and
discovered, wereWallcd i'm and
thus left to perish. They are
slid to have fallen asleep, and
III that state were miraculously
preserved for nearly two centu-
ries, when their bodies having
been found in the cavern, were
taken out and exposed to the
veneration of the faithful. ThcH
it was said these holy martyrs
were not dead; that they had
been hid in the cavern where
they had fallen asleep, and that
they at last had awoke to the
astonishment of the spectators.
The spot is still shown at Eph-
esus where the pretended mira
Gle took place, and the Persians
celebrate annually the feast Of
the Seven SIeepers.

An Unwilling Stockhold-

Some thirty years ago young
a young blacksmith, just "out of
his time" went to Providence in

ployment with the American
Screw Company. Whel payday
came around, he was informed
that he would be expected to take
"a large portion of his wages in the
stock of the company. He de-
INJURED at this, but finally con
sented, as no other situation seemed
to offer itself. This continued on
some time till the young man be-
came quite shareholder in the
concern. and eventually, as the
shares increased in value, purch-
ased some additional 10 those com
ing to him as wages. 70. day
that man is one Of the most wealthy
properly owners in Norfolk coun.
ty, Mass. and has fine villa in
one Of its quiet villageS-all the
result of the few shares of capital
stock forced upon him when the
above company was struggling
with adverse circumstances.

A Potato SELL.-A man from
Illinois went over to Fort Madi.
son the other day with sweet pO-
tatoes to sell. His early educa-
tion had been somewhat defective
in arithmetic, for he offered to
sell his entire wagon load at 60
cents per half bushel or 81 per
bushel. Baskets or sacks were
begged or borrowed, and every
one was buying potatoes at 60
per half busbel. The man did
not see it until the last half BUSH
el was sold. He wanted 50 a
bushel for the load. One man
offered him $l90 per bushel.-
He persisted in selling at 60 cents
per half bushel, thinking doubt
less that there were four half
bushels in a bushel. Another
said he would take three half
bushels. A third took two half
bushels. Before the man COM
menced the retail business a gro
Ger bought two bushels for his
own use at 81 a bushel. lie Of
fered 81 90 a bushel for the whole
load, in order to sell again, but
was refused. When the man saw
his blunder, he held up both hands,
and exclaimed, "Oh thunder. "

A Kansas Elopement.

Bazaar Township Letter to the New York sun
A few days ago the citizens
of this township were startled
by the rumor that the wife of r
well-known Baptist preacher
had gone to Texas with her hus-
bands hired nan. She had pre-
viOusly borne q good reputa-
tion, had lived with her husband
fifteen years, and was the moth
er of three children, aged res
pectively thirteen, six and four
years.
y Her husband became aware
that all was not right, and a few
months ago paid off and dis
missed the man who was the
cause of his domestic unhap-
piness; and he went, but only
to place near by, where he
procured a new wagon. Then
ne boughta horse from his for
mer employer, and with another
horse, procured somewhere else,
he rugged an outfit for Texas,
as he said. When he was all
ready the lady coolly informed
her husband that she loved
George better than himself or
children, and that she was going
with him.
The husband demonstrated
and told her that when the re-
action came, which surely would
come, she would be most miser-
able. But nothing would in
duce her to be separated from
George; she turned away her
little children who clung about
her neck, and her husband, with
a heavy heart, divided his
household goods with her, Civ
ing her and her paramour half
such things as they could carry
with them. He also told her
that she could take some books
from his library if she chose
She took only her little hymn
book. The husband expressed
the hope that she might read
her Bible and profit thereby.
AT 10 o'clock or thereabouts
in the darkness of the night the
oloping pair started of, piously
requesting the deserted husband
to pray that they might have II
safe and prosperous journey.

Wages.

New York journal of Commerce.
Wages must 20 dnwiI or work
will not 20 on. The absurd
eight-hOur system must be abOl-
ished or manufacturers must
fail. The time has now arrived
for the fetters on business men to
be removed. In everything else
but wages there is a falling off,
and the turn has now come for
wages.
Either there must he more
work done per day, or there must
be less pay for days work.
From this alternative we think
there is no escape, and the fail
ures in manufacturing establish
ments, which we are beginning to
record, are the prelude of a gener-
al movement for the reduction of
wages to standard more reasona-
bic than the present one.
