Tom Marshall was born in Frankfort,
Kentucky, June Z, 1901. His father,
DR.. Lewis Marshall, himself man Of
fine intellect, was the youngest brother Of
Chief j Justice Marshall. His mother, also,
was person of remarkable mind as well
as beauty. So he came honestly by his
intellectual gifts. Like Mill, Spencer,
Buckle, and others Of the best trained
intellects of the race, young Marshall
was educated at home, never seeing the
inside of a university or college; al
though when his course OF instruction
terminated, he was sent abroad, after the
old fashion, to finish his studies and see
the world--not to France, Germany and
Italy, or to any one Of them, however,
but to Virginia, which, in the estimation
of her loyal sons and grand-sons, was,
in that day OF her golden prime, worth all
Of them put together He returned after
an absence of two years. mainly spent in
studying with one OF his uncles, Mr..
James Marshall, a man OF learning aud
culture, dwelling in Il rural retreat but
few years afterward-haviuE meanwhile

gay that the conventional grand tour"
would have yielded him greater profit?
He now sprang into the stormy sea of
politics in which he disported himself,
with occasional intervals, for the rest of
his life.-Paul r. Shipman, in The

We can think Of nothing so fitted to
mortify human pride and abate the exuI-
tation of success as the fact that every
one of the four most efficient upbulders
of the Republican party lost its confidence
and alienated Its managers before their
eyes were closed in the last sleep. Sc
WARD, CHASE, GREELEY, SUMNER, were
regarded as standing outside the pale of
the Republican organization in the last
years of their lives, although the party
was indebted to them for all early sue
cesses and its final triumph A party
which thus casts aside its honcred lead
ers has out lived its original principles. -

Breach Of promise Cusc fn EHigh
Life in E.Oui-ia

! n From the Meridian Mercury.
We have breach-of-promise case in
Grant parish, the first ! have known in
Louisiana, Miss Olivia Williams, a col
ored lady Of great beauty, vs.. w. ;. Cal
houn. The jury, l believe, awarded 800
| 900. Calhoun is a man of very large
! fortune-owns three or four Of the largest
sugar and cotton plantations on Red
! river; once owned one thousand slaves.
Came into it all as the grandson of the
late United States Senator Smith of South
| Carolina, one of the leading politicians
Of his day. 1t is generally thought here
that Miss Olivia made a fortunate escape.
N. O. Cor. Pilot
This correspondent we think commits
an error in saying that jury has awarded
twenty thousand IN the above stated case.
The suit has been brought by the black
beauty and damages claimed at $40, 900;
the case, we believe, has never yet come
to a hearing.
This Calhoun had the misfortune to be-
born a hunchback, and is hideously de
formed with spinal curvature. But his
physical deformities are beauties con-
pared with the detormities Of his moral
nature He is a born villain, and Heav-
en- has no grace to make him better against
its prime intention 10 make a human
devil He did own about a thousand
slaves. and their condition under his
ownership was that Of the most abject and
degraded servitude. At the conclusion
Of the war, when he could no longer lord
II over his thousand slaves, and they
were free, he Immediately became the
supple pandersr 10 their ignorant preju-
dices 10 ingratiate himself In their favor
and acquire influence over them TO pro-
mote his own selfish ends. He has been
the prime instigator of troubles which
eliminated in what is called the "Grant
Parish Riot, and for which nine white
men were tried last week in New Orleans
under the Enforcement and Ku-kluX acts
of Congress TO encourage negroes To com
nit any and all forms of Outrages against
Southern people 1t is strange it should
so often happen that, when driven to des-
peration, the whites are compelled 10 the
last resort of taking life to defend their
own lives and the lives and houor of
their wives and children, the right man
escapes; and Calhoun still lives, H. be
sued by Miss Olivia Williams, colored
for breach of marriage promise.
1t is surmised that Calhoun's defence
is lack of chastity. He is understood to
be exacting, and would have his wife like
Caesars, above suspicion. Another sur
mise is, that fair skinned and straight
haired beauty of the 'school-marm" per-
suasion has crossed his path and unsettled
his constant heart.
Calhoun is a widower of about ff-
ty.

A GRANGE BURIAL.
How the Order Put Away Their
Dead.

From the Leavenworth Times, March S
The first burial of member of the Pa
irons of Husbandry with the honors oi
the Order that has came to our notice,
took place day before yesterday in Kick
apoo, when the remains OF Henry Bolin
were consigned to their last resting place
with all the pomp and funeral seant of
/ the Granger burial service Mr.. Bolin
was prominent member. and tie atten-
dance was very large, some 400 persons
being present The programme of the
/ burial was as follows:
On leaving the residence of the deceased,
the hearse which contained the remains
was tianked on either side by three pail
bearers, who walked with uncovered
heads and regalias draped in mourning.
Following the hearse came the relatives
of the deceased and next marched the
sisters of the Order, clad in full regalia.
The brothers came next, and following
them the vast concourse of people, who
had come from far and near TO witness
the ceremonies. The remains were first
taken to the church, where a priest went
through the service peculiar to the Cath
Ollie Church, of which the deceased was a
member When the exercises here had
been concluded, the procession took up
its march for the cemetery, where the
Granger funeral rites were performed.
The coffin was placed on supports direct
ly over the open grave, and remained
there till the impressive and interesting
service was concluded q. B. Coffin,
Master of the Franklin Grange, conduct
ed the ceremonies.
When the brothers and sisters of the
Grange of which the deceased was a
member had assembled about the grave, !
the Master read a selection from the
burial-ritual, followed by a selection by |
the Chaplain, and then the members re
peated slowly and solemnly the Lords !
prayer, closing with a beautiful and APP |
propriate hymn. The brothers of the |
Order then stepped to the grave and |
threw into the opening several bouquets
of flowers and evergreens. a short but |
powerful address was next delivered by |
the Chaplain. While the coffin was be- |
ing lowered beautiful and soul-inspiring |
hymn was sung, and during the singing |
the sisters showered bouquets of flowers
upon the defending coffin until it reached
the wooden box al the bottom of the grave.
The Master then sprinkled a portion of
dirt thrown from the grave over the coffin,
and the service closed with the solemn
Of the Chaplain
Taken throughout, the ceremonies were
very beautiful and impressive. This is
the first burial of Granger in the cOun-
ty, and, if we are correctly informed, in
the State-that is, with the ceremonies of /
the Order.
