peaceable citizens, at the residence of the
latter eleven miles south Of this city.
Brewer married Mr.. McClanahan's daugfi-
ter two or three years ago, and SOME time
last year ruined younger daughter, a mere
child In years. This caused Brewers
wife to quit him and return to her
fathers house. The wrong wrought
deeply on Mr.. McCanaban's mind
and he notified Brewer not to come near
the home h. had made desolate. Notwith-
standing this, Brewer two. or three Titles
went into Mr.. McClanahan's ward, but the
father forebOre to avenge his deep wrong,
and again enlreated him to keep away
from his home. On Monday morning last,
Mr.. McClanahan while in the field saw
Brewer on his horse at the yard gate. He
went to the house and told Brewer to 90
away, warning him that he would kill him

4 Despairing Wife Attempts 10 Poison
HerseIf-TWO Doctors Trying TO Save
Her.
Monday afternoon, Mrs. WaTford, living
on South Cherry street, just below Broad,
swallowed one or more doses of laudanum,
with the avOwed intention of taking her
own life. Her husband is baker, in the
employ of Henry Bustard, and it is said
the domestic relations of himself and wife
were Of a very unpleasant character.
WarfOrd is about 45 years Of age, while
his wife is 53. On his wife'S person are a
number of severe bruises. The poison, a
portion of which was obtained at Pages
and the remainder at Richards drug store,
was taken about three o'clock Monday af-
ternopn. the hour Warford usually returns
from his work. Upon entering his
house he found his wife lying upon
the floor in an insensible condition. He
succeeded in arousing her, and had her put
in bed. She soon became insensible again,
and. up to late hour last night, was still
in that condition, though efforts had been
made DR.. Lyle, and afterwards by DIR.
Maddin, to restore her to consciousness.
No hopes of her recovery are entertained.

l hope that no expectations were enter
tanned in the United States concerning hon
Ors to be paid to the Presidents daughter
on her arrival here as Mrs. SaTtOTis- The
papers recorded the fact Of her marriage in
a paragraph of five or six lines, but no men
ton has been made of her arrival with her
husband in England. In fact the opinion
seems TO be that the young lady made
,1gSdiiidhee and has placed herself at a great
disadvantage. As Miss Grant, the daugh-
ter of the American President, she was well
coined here by the swells, and received by
the Queen; but as Mrs. SartOri-, the wife
of an English civil engineer, she is nobody.
l scarcely know whether she can even be
presented at Court. 1t is TO be- hoped that
she will not be made unhappy by the
change which her marriage has wrought In
her position.

THE DUTY OF A WOMAN To BE A
LADf,

Wildness is thing which girls can
not afford. Delicaey is a thing which
cannot be lost and found. No art can
restore to the grape its bloom. Fa-
miliar1ty without love, without eonti-
dence, without regard, is destructive TO
all that makes woman exaltiEg and
enrolling.
s.The world Is wide, these things are small;
They make me nothing, but they are all
Nothings 1t is the fret duty of
woman TO be a lady. Good breeding is
good sense. Bad manners IN woman
IS immortality. Awkwardness may be
ineradicable. Bashfulness Is cOnstitu-
tional. Ignorance of etiquette Is the
result Of circumstances. All can be
condoned, and do not Danish man or
woman from the amenities OF their
kind. But self-possessed, unshrlnklng,
and aggressive coarseness of demeanor
may be reckcned as a State prison on
tense, and certainly merits the mid
form of restraint called imprison-
ntent for life. 1t is a shame for
women to be lectured on their manners.
1t is bitter shame that they need 1T.
Women are the umpires of society. IL
Is they to whom all tnooted points
should be referred. To be d lady Is
more than TO be prince. A lady is
always in her right inahenably worthy
of respect. To a lady, a prince and
peasant alike bow. Do not be re-
strained. Do not hate the impulses
that need restraint. Do not wish to
dance with the prince unsOught. Feel
differently. Be such that you confer
honor. Garry yourself 50 loftly that
men shall look up to you for reward,
not at you in rebuke. The natural SEN
timent of man toward woman Is rever-
ence. He loses a large means Of grace,
wh,n he is Obliged to account her be-
ing to be trained into prOpriety. A
mans ideal is not wounded when a
woman fails in worldly wisdom! but If
in grace. in fact, in sentiment, IN deli
cacy. in kindness, she should be found
wanting, he receives an inward hurt

HOW THE WORLD wAGS IN
OvERTON COUNTY.

To the Union and American:
Fox SPRINGS, Tenn, June q, 1S74.-
The scarcity of rain has rendered the pros
poets fearfully gloomy for crops in this and
adjacent sections. There have been some
scattering showers, but nothing in the way
of general rains. Some Of our enterprising
farmers have succeeded in planting out
some tobacco, but, at best, the yield can
not exceed half that of last year. Corn,
much of which has not yet emerged from
the huge masses of clodded earth, will fall
far short of the ordinary yield. Wheat is
better than it has been for several years.
Oats are failure.
The farmers are more concerned about
the Civil Rights bill than the dry weather,
and say they could better endure famine
than the enactment of such law.
We are blessed with an abundance of
candidates; two having withdrawn, only
fifteen remain willing to collect our rev
enue-Other offices i'll proportion. The
Oranges are flOurishipg.
