-Nieksburg, Miss, has been the scene
of another of these Southern State rebel
lions which SO much resemble the Mexican
and South American conflicts. The report
is that a body of armed negroes marched
upon the city on Monday morning for the
purpose of reinstating the colored Sheriff
who had been removed on account of not
giving bonds. A fight cnsued in which %
or 80 negroes are reported to have been
killed, and only two or three whites killed
and wounded. If the telegraph operator
was colored man it is probable the &C
count would be colored as highly on the
other side. The colored Sheriff after hav-
ing been arrested resigned, and quiet was
again restored. There was more fighting
near Nicksburg on Tuesday night, a party
of 40 whites being engaged with 200 blacks
at Snyder's Bluif, about ten miles from
that city. Reinforcements were sent from
Nicksburg, and the blacks were driven
back with a loss of four killed and three
wounded. The same day the blacks fired
into funeral procession and wounded
white man, when the fire being returned,
three of the attacking party were killed.
On Wednesday the excitement i'll Vicks-
burg subsidized, there being no further ' ad-
vance, and there was general reSump-
ton of business, although armed negroes
were reported to be gathering at various
points some distance from the town. A
strict guard, by armed whites, was still
maintained. At a meeting of the Board
of supervisors, the resignation of Sheriff
Crosby was presented by General Packer,
and accepted. An election for another
sheriff will be ordered soon.
While farmer named Klein was driv-
ing through the mountain notch, two miles
from Scranton, Pa, on Monday night six
highwaymen sprang from the roadside,
seized the horses, pulled him from the
wagon, kicked and beat him, then shot him
through the heart and escaped into the
woods with his watch and money.
The third and last session of forty
third Congress assembled on Monday and
the Message of the President was received
and read; and business started off very
quietly. On Tuesday bills were offered in
both Houses of Congress to repeal the in
creased salary of the President.

"The Treasurer reported that in accord
ance with the order of the School Board,
passed at the last meeting, he had made
demand upon the County Commissioners
for the sum of $40, 1897, the amount of
arrears due on the various levies made for
the support of the public schools since
1868 upto LIST of December, 1874, and also
interest on these deficiencies previous to

The wedding was that of Mr.. Con-
ger, member Of Congress from Michi-
gan, with Mrs. Sibley, widow Of Major
Sibley, United States army. She was
Miss Humphries, daughter of Judge
Humphries Of the Supreme Court of
the State Of Ohio, and twentv-seven
years ago was aflianced to Mr.. Conger,
then a handsome, blooming youth.
They quarrelled and parted. In six
months the quarrel was forgotten, and
they were again engaged. She was
pretty, a belle, and flirt. Her firt-
ing propensities did not please Mr..
Conger, and he demonstrated with her.
Being a high-spirited girl, she again
broke the engagement, telling him she
would never marry him.
He left the State. She married and
he married. Major Sibley lived twelve
years. There were no children, and
at his death she went abroad. Mrs.
CoDger lived few years, and left
three children. In October, weary of
European life, Mrs. Sibley determined
to return to her homo in Cincinnati.
Arriving in-New York, it occurred 10
her to come to Washington for few
weeks. Oh, woman how mysterious
are thy ways! One day, time hanging
.weariIy on her hands, she wandered CD
to Congress of course, never dream
ing that in this august body sat her
affinity An hour passed the debates
were prosy and tidious- So, gathering
her wraps about her, she prepared to
leave the gallery, when there was n
tap on her shoulder. Turning, who
did she behold but the lover of her
youth!
After commonplace greetings in an
agitated voice, she made the inquiry,
81 suppose your family is with you? ?"
"Did you not know that my wife was
dead p With tragic start she averred
she did not. They chatted some time,
and on leaving she said, 81 am at the
Arlington, you COME and sec me?'
Hesitation on his part, bushes on hers,
and then in low voice replied Con-
ger, 81 will come if you take back
what you said to me twenty-five years
ago" 81 WILL" she answered, and she
wilted.
The engagement was very brief and
the happy twain were united last Sat
urday morning at IL o'clock. The
bride wore a pearl-colored satin bro
cade, with diamond ornaments,- and
looked very well, albeit she could not
look sentimental, for she is not very
young, and weighs about one hundred
and ninety-iiye pounds Cincinnati

the coffin was empty, aud a ferocious
young fellow sat on its edge and thus
addressed her:

said, "and | don't want to frighten old
women. Just put them down"
"Pm not frightened" said Maggie.
"I'm coming to take them things
away from YOU" said the man,
Come" said Maggie.
He advanced one step. She took
aim and he lodged. but ballet went
through his left arm, and il, dropped
by his side.
Furious with pain, he dashed toward
her. She fred again aud this time
wounded him in the right shoulder.
Faint and quite helpless, he staggered
aginst the wall.
"There you've done it, old woman"
he said. "Open the door and let me
out. My game is up
"Mine isn't" said old Maggie. "Get
into your coffin again, or this time I'll
shoot you through the heart"
The burglar looked piteously at her,
but he saw no mercy in her face. He
went back to the coffin and lay down
in it. Blood dripped from his wounds,
and be was growing pale. Maggie did
not want to see him die before her
eyes, but she dared not call aid. To
leave the house before daylight would
be to meet the mans companions, and
risk her own life. There was nothing
for it but to play the surgeon her
self, and in little while she had stop

life. More than this-she brought a
cup of tea, and fed him with it as il
he had been baby. Nothing, how
ever, could induce her to let him out

About one or two o'clock, she heard
steps outside, and knew that the other

There is an old goat owned in
Detroit which has received a great
deal of training from the boys. Last
Fourth of July they discovered that if
they stuck re-cracke= in the end of
a cane and held it at William, he
would lower bis head and go for them !;
and they had practiced the trick so
much that the goat will tackle any
human being who points a stick at
him. A few days ago he was loafng
near the corner of Third and Lewis
streets, when a corpulent citizen came
up and stopped to talk with a friend.
They happened to speak of sidewalks,
when the corpulent citizen pointed his
cane just to the left Of the goat, and
said,-
CHATS the worst piece of sidewalk
in this town"
The goat had been cycling the cane,
and the moment it came up he lower
ed his head, made six or eight jumps,
and his head struck the corpulent citi-
zen Just on "the belt" The man went
over into a mass of old tin, dilapidated
butter-kegs and abandoned hoop skirts,
and the goat turned somersault the
other way, while slim citizen threw
