The Act Committed While the Mother was
Defending Her Daughters Virtue.
From the st. Je. Herald

From the st. Je. Herald]
Our reporter yesterday learned the facts
relative to one of the most mOurnful tragedies
which has ever been committed in the young
State of Nebraska
Near Humboldt, a town on the Atchison
and Nebraska Railroad, lived widow woman
and her daughter.
Some days since man who claimed to have
just arrived from Kansas stopped at the house,
and during his visit made insulting PROPOSE
lions to the girl The mother being called,
ordered him to leave the house, which he re-
fused to do She then armed herself with
pistol, and endeavored to frighten him by
pointing it at him. He, however, refused to
withdraw She therefore fired two shots,
which passed under chair. He still refused
to comply with the demands of the women,
stating in jocose manner that he thought
she did not mean to hurt any one.
The girl just then stepped up to her mother,
and remarked that she had better put the pls-
toll up, or some one would be shot, ut the
same time desiring the man to withdraw
The woman again raised the pistol, out ne,
fore she could pull the trigger, which would
undoubtedly have sent the bullet speeding
towards his body, her daughter caught the
barrel in her hand. Unfortunately the weapon
was furnished with very fine springs, and re-
u,,ired but the gentlest touch on the trigger
to discharge it. The woman's finger was on
the trigger at the time the girl caugnt hold OF
it, and by some accident the pistol was dis
charged, the ball entering the girls breast
and passing through her body, killed her I'M
mediately.
The sad occurrence occasioned considerable
excitement in the neighborhood. The man
was arrested for using indecent and bolster
Gus language, but what further will be done
in the case our informant could not say.

INTIMIDATION.
Radicals Steal the BallOt.BOx and Books
in Union Parish.

The ballot-boxes is and books of registration
in Union parish were yesterday seized and
carried away by crowd of the faithful and
concealed.
The fact was telegraphed to the State Super
visor, who it is said, returned very insolent
answer being in words as reported, SEQ to
hell and find them"
It was generally conceded that hell was
good place to find Radicals, but it was known
that if the books and the boxes were there
that the Devil would act with his own, and nc
Democrat would be admitted to prosecute
search, and the advice of Capt Wright was
accordingly ignored.

The ROTTEN LEADERS DID Ir.-The West
ern revolt is onlya local manifestation OF
general tendency which exists in every State.
It is the instruction of the Republican
masses against the despotism Of the caucus
and the rule of Congressional rings 1t is
popular wrath and disgust at the continued
success of disreputable leaders 1t is resist
ance to the use of Government patronage Tor
personal and partisan purposes. 1t IS o loud
protest against the intolerable interference Of
official funkeys with the business of the peo-
pie. The Republicans must take warning
and understand that, if they would retain
power, they must make their rotten leaders
take back seats and put in nomination only
men of clean lives, free from completely with
corruption. They cannot keep the popular
confidence by party discipline, by Govern
ment patronage or appeals to old prejudices
and passions. Mass.) Transcript.

The following telegram, sent to the Louis

the reconstruction measures, the Louisiana

A party of Chicago tourists ran out Of whis-
XIV in Elk Head Mountains, in the North Park,
Colombo. They we've encamped one night
and one Of the partyMas wakened by heavy
WEIGHT on his chest. He found huge rattle
snake coiled up there taking snooze where
It was warm. He pulled his blanket over his
face and the movement startled the snake,
which crawled to his next neighbor and coiled
on his face and neck. The man first aroused
made an unfortunate effort to dislodge the
snake. and the reptile struck its fangs into the
sleepers cheek, and then crawled off to rock
near the campfire, where it was shot and
killed. The bitten man was soon in great
agony, and asked that q large portion Of his
cheek be cut out around the bite, which was
DONE But the poison hat already penetrated
too far, and in three hours he died terrible
death. Whisky, it is said, would have saved
him, but there was no whisky at hand just
when it was wanted. The deceased was named
Straley.

Undertook, the murderer of Gass, who is
now in prison at Baltimore awaiting his exc
cution, is sincerely to be pitied. The first
clergyman who visited him was Baptist, who
informed the doomed man that all that was
requisite for him to be saved was for him to
believe in God. At this, Undertook became
somewhat reconciled to his condition and
began making his peace, when along came
another clergyman, Methodist, who took ex-
ception to the Baptist's doctrine, and told
him clean breast must be made before he
could Get salvation. Undertook then com.
menced his preparations upon the Methodist
plan, when the Baptist returned and left him
"a a dubious state as to what he should do.
And thus the struggle goes on, with the gal
lows growing nearer and nearer each day. II
would seem as if the condition Of the wretched
man was pitiable enough without making him
the object Of theological squabbles and the
victim Of religious conundrums. 1twould be
an act of kindness for the authorities to close
the doors against all clergymen, rather thar
allow this unseemly wrangle between the sec
tarians over the poor wretch to 60 on any
longer.
