But at pressure of twenty atmos-

Third, if the salt of any substance be
introduced into the flame of Bunsen
burner or alcohol lamp (both OF which
give continuous spectra so faint as to be
almost invisible) one or more bright lines
will appear in different parts OF the rib
bon. But if sufficient quantity OF the
substance is burned lin closed lantern,
for instance) SO as to produce vapor,
the spectrum is recersed, as it is called ;
that is, a dark line appears precisely IN the
spot achere the bright line ,cds previously OBJ
serred. Thus, if small quantity of
common salt is placed in aplatinum loop
and held in an alcohol lamp, immediate
ly spectrum of two very bright yellow
lines is seen But if sufficient quantity
of salt is burned to produce a sodic
vapor round the flame sthe spectrum is

The Tennessee OUTRAGE.

The more light that Is thrown up
on the affair in Gibson county, Ten

tended in that neighborhood: that
the negroes were thoroughly organ
lied and armed, and whilst profes-
sing to be preparing for self protec-
ton against the Ku Klux we're plan
ming a general massacre of ali the
whites in the neighborhood. This
story rests wholly on the asserted
confession of a colored man, who
was in the councils Of his fellow ne
groes but shrank with horror from
a share in the bloody programme
On this confession-supposing it
ever to have been made-the white
assassins went to work. Sixteen
said to be named in the
confession, were arrested and thrown
into jail. A gang OF hundred mask
ed men took the doomed men from
jail without any difficulty and rode
of with them. The whole sixteen

their bodies scattered along the
road, the murderers dispensing az
ter the commission of the revolving
crime.
To cover up the atrocity of the
deed the report was spread that the
negroes we're focking into the place
in armed crowds, with a purpose to
kill, burn and destroy. The whites
few to arms and secured the coun
try in all directions-the masked
assassins undoubtedly being among
the number-in the endeavor to dis
perse the advancing bands of blood
thirsty negroes and capture their
arms. Every negro going at large
was stopped and searched. The
negroes at home were questioned
and their places examined. Nothing
was left undene that might possibly
lead to the discovery of negro or
ganizations or armed negroes. The
result Is the confession of ignomin-
Gus failure. Those who sent out the
stories of impending negro uprisings
and dreadful slaughter of the whites
are now compelled to record the
humilating fact that the scare was
utterly without foundation. The
negroes are excited and frightened,
as they may well be, but there are
no threats,no organization, no arms.
The whole story was a fraud, ,wheth-
er concocted for villainous purposes

Prospective Demand for Wheat
The Hon. Joseph Medill writes
to friend in Chicago as follows in
regard to the prospective demand
for American Wheat in Europe.
"The grain crops throughout Eu.
rope are perfectly enormous every
where. Continental Europe will be
able to supply England with all the
breadstuffs she will need and much
more. Where will be the market
for the surplus of American wheat
and flour? 1 can see none for long
time to come, France last year had
so short a crop that she imported
during the year 100000 ofwheat.
This year she will have wheat to
sell. Hungary had a short crop
last year, but this year her crop is
very abundant. So also in Italy and
Germany. Crops in England are
very heavy"
The Chicago Inter Ocean, in pub
fishing the above remark saws:
"Mr. Medill is well known as a
careful observer, and his views of
the discouraging prospect of for.
eign market for American bread
stuffs this year, though they NAV
not be very agreeable to believe. are
undoubtedly correct. It may, there
fore, as well be admitted that we
shall have unusually low prices for
breadstuffs during the next twelve
months, though probably not a low
er average price for wheat than at |
present. But even at the present
price for wheat the disappointment |
and loss to the farmers of the North
west can scarcely fail to have an m
favorable effect on the fall and win
ter trade, and to cause as much dis
to the merchants as
the low prices of breadstuffs will
cause to the farmers. There is but
one policy to pursne, and that is
for the farmers to make up their
minds to carry as much of their
wheat over until another wear as
possible. To rush it into the mar.
zet now, in the hope Of anticipating
decline, would only precipitate it.
The greatest portion of the decline
las been already experienced, and it
would be useless to get panicky now,
When it is too late.

The war of Races in Kentnolrv

As nearly as we can make out Of
the confused and incoherent ac-
counts by telegraph, the trouble last
week in Central Kentucky grew out
ofan election contest for the Office
Of Circuit Court Clerk, the contest
ing parties being Kennedy and
Faulkner. The case was set for tri-
al last week in the Garrard County
Court, and much interest was felt in
Lancaster, the county seat. Kenne-
dy appeared to be favored by the
"white mems party" and opposed bv
the coloIed people. Much excite
ment was occasioned by the appear
ance Of q number OF colored people,
with some white associates, who
were suspected OF a design to seize
the court house. A squad of Uni,
ted States troops happened to be in
town and their presence was secured
by the Sheriff to protect the court.
The negroes retired on seeing the U.
S. troops. Disturbances afterwards
took place in which a man named
Yeakley, related to Kennedy, was
wounded.
The wounding of Yeakley was the
signal for q general outbreak. The
negroes retired to the residence of a
white sympathizer named Sellers, in
the neighborhood, and fortified it,
Sellers himself being absent. The
Kennedy party surrounded the
house and shots were exchanged.
Both parties sent out for reinforce
ments and help was expected from
beyond the county lines. On Satur-
day the United States troops were
marched to Sellers house to keep
the peace and cover the retreat of
the negroes. The latter mistook the
object Of the demonstration and fred
at the troops. The soldiers broke
and ran to the public square, where
they formed and fred a volley at
random, killing a Kennedy adher-
ent named Foley. The Kennedy
party, on this, threw fire balls into |
Sellers house with the purpose of
burning out the negroes. The Uni |
ted States troops rallied and went |
to the rescue Of the negroes, who |
made their escape under cover of
the soldiers guns, bat not before
two had been shot to death and two
burned to death.
Sunday afternoon party of State |
troops arrived at the scene Of dis
but found the birds had /
flown. Both blacks and whites had |
scattered to the woods and elsewhere
and all the troops could do was to
rush about and gobble up stray dar-
keys with rifles or shot guns in their
possession-a work which was pros
ecuted with great vigor.
That is the beginning, middle, and
end of she Garrard County distur-
Oance 80 far as we can make it out.
There was a misunderstanding also
n Owen County, in Northern Ken
lucky, in which q man was killed
md there was such a good prospect
or more bloodshed that State troops
we're dispatched to the scene, but as
his seems to be merely little diff
iculty among white men, such as
8 not uncommon among the chival-
ous sons of Old Kaintuck, it has no
'articular signifcance-Herald.
