Killed by an Officer.

Alfred Flowers, living in the north
western part of this county, was shot
and killed last Friday at Rutherford
Station by the sherifs posse. TIE
deputy sheriff, Greer, was attempting
to arrest him, when Flowers drew his
pistol and commenced shooting at the
officer and posse. A number of shots
were fired at him, one of which struck
him under the left shoulder, killing
him instantly. He was a bad and
lawless character, and was indicted in
a number of,cases in the Circuit Court

The Newspaper Postal Law.
From the Albany IN. ~ Journal.

From the Albany IN. ~ Journal
The new postal law relating to
newspapers and magazines will go in-
to effect nexWanuary. Congress has
acted wisely in restoring the free cir
culation of weekly papers through
the mails in the counties where pub
lishcd. This is a provision that i'm
poses no tax upon the government
Its operation heretofore gave the full
est satisfaction to all parties, and has
generally been esteemed just and
proper recognition Of the right Of so
valuable II medium for the diffusion
of general intelligence rs the weekly
newspaper. This section OF the new
law is therefore especially worthy OF
approval.
The other provisions of the bill,
however, are not free from serious OBJ
jections. The rate OF postage is fix
cd at cents u pound on daily and
weekly papers, and 3 cents on papers
OF magazines published monthly or
fortnightly. Not only is this u mate
rial increase upon present rates, but
to make tho burden more oncrous,
prepayment is exacted.. This. will
compel publishers to add to their sub
scription rates to cover the postage
or else to make some other arrange
ment with their subscribers.
Heretofore the postage has been by
the quarter OF year, irrespective OF

bly, clean considering the dusty roads
she must have Travelled over. From
all that can be asccrtained, she is in
search, not Of her husband, as was
stated by one of the newspapers, but
Of her father. She wrote some inco-
herent sentences In the Swedish Ian
guage and revealed the fact that her
name is Sophie Auguston, and that
she is 3s years Of age. Capt. Kent
zer took charge of her and escorted
her to the house of a Swedish gentle
man, where, at last accounts she was
enjoying refreshing snooze. Some
shrewd people suggest that it was the
appearance of Capt. Kentzer that
struck the good woman dumb. New
CT before could she have beheld so
noble figure. 1t has not been as
certained whether she intends walk
ing to China; but she is more likely
to find her father here. She has had
long and wearisome tramp over
rough roads, through narrow gaps,
and over dangerous trestlework; aud
If she be not insane, she certainly dis
plays an amount Of filial devotion
that is highly commendablc. Many
absurd rumors have been set ahoat
concerning her object in coming here.
Some newspapers asserted that she
wished to obtain lock Of her hus-
bands hair, or the whole scalp; but
this idea is generally scotfcd at.
Whether demcntcd or not, the poor
creature deserves much sympathy for
the sutferings she has undergone.

WHOLE NO. Al

the weight Of the paper within Ger.
tain limits. Under this law the pa-
pers are to be weighed in the postof.
flee upon receipt from the Office OF.
publication, and as such papers arc
always more or less damp they will
weigh in excess of their ordinary con-
dition to the prejudice Of the sIbscsi-
Der. On single papers the rate is e+as
cent a copy instead Of FIVE cents quar-
terly, as at present. This imposes
an additional tax Of 80 cents a year
upon weekly paper taken in SIN
gle wrapper, and prepayment in these
cases is also required.
The press OF the country, both dai-
ly and weekly, is able and strong
enough to pay its full share toward
meeting the deficit in the Postotfice
Department, and will not grumblc AZ
any reasonable burdens that may be
put upon it. But it is evident thai
there has been an unnecessary IL
crease OF postage upon newspapers,
and that the prepayment clause will
work Inconvenience without any cor
responding advantage to the depart
ment. The law has been mostincos.-
siderately framed and passed, and
the probability is that Whenever prac-
tlcable the newspaper will resort to
the express companies instead of the
mails, and that the department will
lose more than it will gain.

Anti-Health Fashions.

The two most conspicuous anti
health fashions this present season,
says the Brooklyn Union, are the
long over-trimmed skirts and the high
small, yet heavy hats. The excess
of a fashionable woman's dress is on
the ground where it ought not to be,
and the absence of clothing is most
noticeable where it is most required.
Said thoughtful woman recently:
"Our sex are so untidy; infinitely
more so than men. Look at the drcs-
ses dragging OH every sidewalk in
every city, and over the roads and
lawns in the country, and accept my
saying. What man would trail a
broadcloth coat along the sidewalk?
What woman does not sweep silks
over them every time she goes out of
the house." Ladies all agree that
the trails are heavy and unclean, and
add greatly to the expense of the cos
tune, but how many of them will go
without them? The fashion is simply
arbitrary and they cannot be strong
or than it. The fact that every ar
bitrary fashion is degrading, mas
much as it ignores individuality and
repudiates selfhood, is of no conse-
quence to woman generally. The
average woman has not conception
of the servitude in which she lives;
nor has she the slightest desire to al
ter matters. Ifpigtails l:rChinese
are the style, all kind of heads don
them; narrow heads, high heads,
broad heads, fiat heads. "Is it suita-
bic and becoming?" is not the ques-
ton asked nowadays. Beauty is sac
rifced to style, and the most hideous
style that was over invented is more
complacently worn than garment
that is one season behind the fashion,
however beautiful it may be. With
dresses so with hats. 1t is the fash
ionablc article that is bought, the
most ultra style that is most admir-
ed. And women with faces thin as
q hatchet" and colorless rs the bones
SO lily concealed by the thi2 flesh up
on them, buy high, pyramid-shaped
hats, and stand them like cones on
the ends Of the pointed plait of hair.
Instead of studying grace and SYM
metry, and what is becoming, hats are
bought that represent the latest cx-
tremc style, and nothing is consider
ed of half SO much importance as the
assurance that they are stylish. Tall,
long faced women should always
wear low, broad, plainlytrimmcd
hats. Let the trimming be rich as

Anecdote OF old Hickory,

Gen. Augustus Jones, who serv-
ed under Gen. Henry Dodge in the
Indian wars Of 1872, says the st
Louis Democrat, relates the follow
ing characteristic anecdote of Gen.
jackson. On one occasion Gen.
Dodge then captain Of the mount
ed scouts) wished to senda message
to some troops on the east side Of the
Mississippi River in Illinois. Moth
ing in the shape of boat was at
hand, and it was necessary that one
OF the volunteers should swim his
horse across the broad and turbulent
stream, an undertaking of no little
danger. Jones, then boy of six
teen, and weighing only eighty-five
pounds, volunteered, and was in
trusted with the message, which he
safely delivered, and returned in the
same manner with the answer. Twen-
ty years afterward Gen. Jackson,
President Of the United States, re-
ceived from Senator Linn an account
of the bold feat of young Jones, aud
expressed his admiration in his en-
phatic style. About that time the
Office of United States Marshal of the
State ofMissouri became vacant. Col.
Benton. who had become a warm
supporter of Jackson, Recommend
ed a friend of his, snpposing the
President had no preference for any
particular person. Jackson asked
DR. Linn if Jones was still living, and
being informed that he was, he said
to Old Bullion, "Col. Benton, l shall
appoint Augustus Jones as Marshal
of Missouri" Col Benton disliked
Jones, and demonstrated against the
appointment. "The matter is settled,
Col. Benton" replied Jackson, "Jones
swan the Mississippi on horseback
when boy, and by the Eternal, he
is the man for the place!" Jackson
was right in his estimate of the man,
for Jones made a most efficient Mar
shal, and broke up one of the most
daring and dangerous bands ofcoun-
terteiters that ever infested the State.
He is now scvcnty-cight years fage,
and has served as volunteer in three
wars.

The feminine vendcr of news has
her knitting in her pocket when she
runs into her neighbours for a call, or
she makes fcint of carrying dish,
empty or full rs an excuse for five
minutes crrand. She stays twohours
sitting on the edge of her chair, or
standing door knob in hand. 1t is a
curious contradiction in women, that,
while they lift up their voices i'll wall
ing protest that their work is never
done, not one of them will sit down
with folded hands for a friendly chat.
Even the young lady who never does
stitch of useful sewing for herself,
has piece Of canvass with pink
eyed dog ora bouquet economically
laid off in squares upon it, which she
produces when she requires conver-
sational stimulus. How many a
lover has fumed and frctted ut the

companlon's eyes and hands, and ad-
mired tho industry which utilized
even the hours Of idle courtship. He
had yet to learn that certain kind
of industry is born Of idlcness.

From the San Francisco Call, June ~.

From the San Francisco Call, June ~.
The woman concerning whom. so
much has been written, rs having
walked from Iowa to California, arri-
we'd in this city yesterday. After all
the trouble and anxiety of mind, she
was forced to submit to the torture of
an interview by the reporter Of an
evening paper. 1t stated that when
tho poor woman was taken to the
house of u Swedish gentleman, "shc
burst into tears, and covering her
eyes with her hands, she sobbed long
and loud, but would not speak" No
wonder that she was grateful for her
narrow escape from a lingering death.
Tho reporter says: '''The fact that
she hears all that is said to her dissi-
patcs the thought that she may be
dumb" This information will be re-
ceived with gratitude by medical
men and grammarians not used to-
such examples of incoherency. The
woman has light wavy hair, combed
smoothly back from her temples.
Her eyes are blue and have pleas
ing though wcaricd expression. Her
calico dress has been patched with
cloth of various eolors, and is tolera-
