A BITING WOMAN.
AN ARRAY ON PENNSYLVANIA AVE

AN ARRAY ON PENNSYLVANIA AVE
NUE..
On Saturday night, about o'clock, at the
time Peunsylyania avenue was thronged with
persous returping from the promenade concert
at the Presidents grounds, considerable eI-
citement was created by an ARRAY that took
UI"o. on the south side of the Avenue, between
tenth and Eleventh streets, and which soon
attracted q large crowd. It appears that 9
difficulty arose between q colored girl, named
Sarah Gross, and Mrs. Schwartz, the wife of q
restaurant keeper, and the latter, seeing that
the girl would likely come out best, interfered
in behalf Of his vile, and during the scrim-
mage he was bitten in several places about the
hands and face. The girl was uninlured.
Roth parties were arrested and taken to the
Central guard-house, where eounter-charges Of
assault and battery were made by Schwartz
and the girl.

Read the communication Of "Civis"
that appears elsewhere. The sug-
gestion Of q meeting at which the Ia
dies Of the city can be present is a
good one. We have said all that we
could say, on this subject, but it
seems to us that in this enterprise
the full strength of the community
should be exhausted. In one day, by
securing the location of the South
western University in our midst, we
can do moro to assure the future OF
our city, than we can possibly do IN
the next ten years through other
means. GAINESVILLE has raised in
one way and another. over $780,
600 and viii doubtless increase that
amount. Jackson and Madison
county should understand that if
they are to secure this great
boon their subscription must be
materially increased. 1t is in the
power.of ourpeople to do this. viii
they do II? The magnitude Of the
question is apparent. It's impor-
tance has not, cannot be exaggera-
ted. Have those most deeply inter
ested in the prosperity of Jackson
and the grand old county of Madi-
son done their duty in the matter.
VIII they do their duty? II they
fail, theirs is the responsibility, and
they viii 40 the sufferers. Again
we urge everybody in Madison to
read the communication referred to
above.

EDITORS WIG AND tribune:
venture 20 say that the coming crop or
many Of the farmers Of McNairy, though
an average, would Earily pay for the soil
washed from them during the past three
months And why all this waste Of one Of
Natures great gifts 20 us-rich and pro-
dueive lands: The fault is with the far
mer himself. II was never intended that
our beautiful rivers should roll with waters
made turbid By soil from our uplands,
where health and comfort should abound
IN abundance by retaining it where placed
by the Creator. Farmers complain Of high
taXes, and at the same time are taxing
themselves most generously by allowing
every shower to carry frsm their farms
that which should remain there for the
production OF food for millions vet 10 come.
Grass the Hplands and keep the soil from
being washed into the rivers.
