The Saratoga wife Traffic.

Others, besides Morrissey, drive a prof
liable trade at Saratoga. Fast horses
are trotted up and down Broadway before
the eyes of the guests upon the hotel
piazzas, and many on both sides are
''sold." But by far the most speculative
and frequently the most profitable bust
ness is what may be termed modifca-
ton of the Georgian or Circassian slave
trade How many daughters are every
season adorned with gay apparel, and
made to parade on the hotel piazzas and
in the parlors of these great marts of
fashion and sold-sold to dissipated
youth or hoary aye-no matter to whom,
provided the buyer is RICH What mel
ancholy sight is the old stock on handl
the girls who did not find market FIVE
four, three or two years ago, and who are
still on exhibition in the feeble hope that
purchaser may yet come. Alas, ne
comes not and If the btGse belle does not
retire to a quiet old motherhood at home
An estate as honorable as any in the
world-if you come here years hence you
may see her in her sere and yellow leaf,
fastened as flower against the wall,
looking on with despair at succeeding
generationl

arrested as the ring-leaders of threaten
ing and armed band that had fred upon
two white men, they were therefore worthy
OF death, and without the forms of law,
IN State controlled and governed by law
abiding men. x
There Is, therefore, no excuse for the
men who murdered the negroes in Gibson
county. They have committed bold
premeditated crime, the highest in the
calendar. They have outraged public
decency, broken the public peace, dis
graeed Tennessee and brought confusion
and shame to US all.

a Bridal Tour.

Quite romance occurred in our village
yesterday. A couple riding one horse
man and lady-rode into town and en-
quired where they could get spliced. They
we're referred to the Circuit Clerks Office.
Leaving his afianced the man soon pro-
cured the wished for papers, and then the
twain were made happy by finding =
splicer in our Chaneery Clerk. They
seemed to be eluding the wrath of angry
brothers, and were bound for Texas.
The Last seen of them they were going
West, both walking and leading their
steed, which was being used IS q pack
horse. The bridegroom's name was Arm
strong his bride was Miss Warrington.

One ofthe best things about the Grang,

One of the best things about the Grange
movement is the effort to make the Amer
Jean farmer remember that his house ia
not teat in the desert, but home, and
should have all those surroundings which
make home agreeable. 1t is a strange
fact that the nearer one comes to a city
the more delightful he finds the gardens.
The fact is that the denizen of the city
appreciates the pleasure afforded by ivy
and shade tree end flower, while the
farmer does not. He looks upon his land
as something to scrape living from, and
chops down the growing shade tree for
cord-wood. With q very few days extra
trouble each year, our farmers could live
in houses EMPOWERED by roses and spread
ing evergreens, and surrounded by flower
gardens.

CARD FROM Mr.. HARDING.

Under the advice of my attorneys, |
have concluded to make no detailed state
ment in regard to the shooting affair of
last Thursday, or the cause which led to
it. Believing, however, that the public
will expect something, | will say this much:
Theruin of my daughter was accomplished
under circumstances of unusual atrocity,
showing unparalleled baseness and treach-
cry knowledge OF the circumstances was
conveyed to me III confession, the night
before the shooting, which confession sub
sequent events have invested with all the
sanctity and solemnity of death-bed rev.
elation | met the person who had done
this foul wrong to my daughter, a few
moments after learning that she would
inevitably die from the effects of deadly
drug, taken by her while temporarily
crazed by regrets for the past, shame for
the present and despair for the future.
I met him by the merest chance. No, it
was not chance. 1t was fate. The public
knows the result When the case
comes to trial they will know more of the
causes.

AFr~e Dinner.

A cadaverous chap sat down to one Of
the eating stands in the market yesterday
and called for seycnty-tive cents worth of
grub THE best in the house. IL was
handed to him with commendable prompt
ness, and it made peoples eyes hang out
to see him eat. He'was about half an hour
finishing up, and when be got up be
remarked that he had forgotten his peck
et-book. The woman grabbed up a
butcher-knife and started for him, but
instead Of running away, he laid biz hand
On her shoulder and whispered: he

Mystery of Sex.

From the St Louis Republican.
Chicago has pulling question of sex
to wonder over, while contemplating the
receptions and rascalities Of the individu-
al whose sex is inquired after. Christian
Lund went to Chicago, and said he was
a Danish nobleman in she disguise Of
poverty. He was young and fair, and
had soft, insinuating voice in almost
any language. He had a winning facul-
ty of interesting people in his behalf.
He began with a situation as q hotel
waiter, but did not like the place long.
He then got into better employment
through the influence of Mr.. Herman
Raster and others who believed in him.
Something peculiar in the quality of his
voice often arrested attention. But he
talked and joked with gentlemen with
such free tongue as to drive back any
little suspicion that his sex was not prop
erly represented by his clothes. He
often changed places and became a teach
er of languages in families, and Alibra-
rian full of tongues. He told various
stories about himself; the last was that
he was Spanish Don. Suddenly Chris
tan Lund disappeared and about the
same time Mrs. Isabella Rothe daWned
in Chicego, and said she was countess
from Denmark. She was dressed in fine
stuffs, wore costly jewelry and had mon
ey to waste She reminded some people
of Christian Lund. Her voice was very
like his and her face was similar. Mrs.
Rothe finally acknowledged that she was
Christian Lund, and told how she came
to put on pantaloons and such things
Nobody believed her story. She has
now left Chicago, probably for this city,
and she has left Chicago in the dark as
to whether its overfowing population has
lost isabella Rothe or Christian Lund,
and nobody pretends to guess from what
particular country he, she or it originally
came.

4 Brave Little Girl.

A gentleman who was on the ill-tated
Pat. Rodgers states that while he was
standing on the toward part of the boat,
making ready to spring into the water,
he heard one of the officers OF the boat
tell lady, who was standing near him
with little girl, that the time had come
when she must trust herself to the water.
The lady, turning to her little daughter,
inquired if she could summon the courage
to Jump into the water. The little girl
glanced at the approaching flames, then
at the water, and responded in firm
voice that she would jump if her mother
would follow her The mother assured
her that she would leap in after her.
The officer threw mattress overheard
and told the little girl tojump towards it.
Without moments hesitation the heroic
child leaped into the dark and swiftly Gid
ing water, the mother instantly followed,
but both at once sunk to rise no more.
There were grown women and even strong
men who shrank back from the whlrlfng
waters, almost preferring to perish IN
the flames to trusting themselves to lts
treacheous embrace. But this brave
child saw the situation, and, approaching
the only means of escape presented, babe
her mother follow and boldly flung her
self into the raging flood. Such heroic
resolution is not often exhibited, and the
world has lost a courageous woman in
this dead child Louisville Courier

From the Appeal of The 21lh.

III ON the Appeal of the 9Th.
I'VE cannot find words severe enough to
condemn the outrage at Trenton is it
ought to be. We blush for our State,
and with the shame of the bloody murder,
the disgraceful defiance of Law, Of order
and of decency full upon us, are at a loss
for language with which to characterize
deed that, if the work Of Comanches or
Modocs, would arouse every man IN the
Union for a speedy vengeance on the per-
petrators. We have hitherto condemned
the lawlass assemblages of armed ne
oroes and their insane threats, with
view to intimidate and averawe the
whites of sparsely-settled counties out OF
ANYTHING like political opposition, and
we have done SO solely in the public IN
terest and regardless of party; to-day
we must hold up to merlted reprooatlon
and condemnation the armed men who
beseiged the Trenton Jail and wantonly
as wickedly, without ANYTHING like Justi-
fication, took thence the unarmed negroes
there awaiting trial by the courts ana
brutally- shot them to death; and, too,
with a show of barbarity altogether IN
necessary as the massacre was unJustl1a-
bic. To say that we are not, IN any
county in the State, strong enough to
enforce the law, is to pronounce libel
upon the whole commonwealth. we are
