Only Negro Girl..-A Story Of Cruelty,

Here is another incident of Mississippi
life. About four weeks ago mulatto
girl, aged nineteen, who had been living
for some time rs servant in the house of a
farmer two and half miles from Verona,
left her service and went 10 Verona, where
she became o house-servant in order to at
tend an evening school. She had been al
her new place week, when one day the
farmer, her former employer, accompa.
MED by his father and q neighbor, all
armed with shot-guns, appeared before the
house. Two of the men came in and de.
manded the girl, saying she belonged to
them. She refused to go with them and
declared she was free, which was true, of
course. They knocked her down, took
Der by the feet, dragged her thus through
the house, through the yard into the street,
her clothing torn and deranged in the
struggle, and she screaming for help, and
this was in open daylight and in the
presence of several men, besides women
and children-set her on horse and car.
ried her off. When they got her home
two of them tied her to tree and flogged
her barred back with green withes until
the blood ran. Then they took her to the
TO the bedpost. The next day she was
turned to work and chained up again al
night After some days she made
her escape and found refuge with a
Southern man, the County Superin.
tendent of Education, who, after proper
notice, sent her TO the United States Dis
trict Attorney. From the District Attor-
ney's lips received the account of this
outrage. Now, cruelty and violence may
and do happen in any State. The part of
the story which seems mosthorrible to me
is this: 1t is in evidence before the Dis
trict Attorney that the Mayor of Verona,
who is its Justice of the Peace, heard the
girls cries and saw the struggle, and,
when asked why he did not interfere him
self, testified that he thought it was none
of his business, rs he knew that it was
only negro girl. Several other men tes-
titled that they stood in their doors and
saw the girl dragged by her feet out into
the road, 1t was none of their business,
either. Finally l related this tale TO
Democratic Judge of the Supreme Court
of the State. He replied that brutality
was found everywhere, North as we'll as
South; and could not, with all my efforts,
apparently, make him understand that
what filled me with indignation and hope
less disgust was not so much the act itself,
but the fact that an officer of the law and
several citizens could witness il unmoved
-because,it was only negro girl

Didn't Know Who Was Around.

They were talking kind of lazily to.
gether-were those two men the other day
as the train rolled on between Galveston
and Houston, Tex, and you could see by
their looks that they were Southerners.
Suddenly the more impoTtant-acting one
of the two, who had been glancing Occa-
sionally at paper in his hand, turned, and
saying to his companion, Look here"
began to read paragraph, as follows:
GOV. Coke has officially rendered to the
Hon. Jefferson Davis the Presidency of the
Texas Mechanical and Agricultural College,
at Bryan, with a salary OF $4,000 per annum
and II is believed the offer will be accepted.
"The Governor pears 'clined to give
the old gent somethin' TO live on" said
the other man when the reader had
finished
Yes" replied the man with the paper;
the Governor means well, but that's no
place for Jefferson Davis, and in my opin-
ion he won't stay there long"
" Four thousand dollars is a heap o.
money in these times, Cap'n," suggested
the other.
"The money is all right, too" said the
Captain, as he was called; "but,u con-
tinued he as he squared himself around
in his seat, there's other work for Mr..
Davis. His mission is TO free the South
and he knows il, and he'll do it yet before
he's through; and there won't be any
more getting licked by Yankees, or last
bitches, either"
just as the Captain gotthrough with this
outburst of his sentiments hrawny indi-
vidual sitting just behind him leaned
with his elbows on the back of the seat
and remarked, in a patronizing sort Of
way:
Don't you rather guess you'd better
leave old jeff teaching schoolY As the
President of rebel Confederacy he's
failure, but as the President of Texas
college he may make things 'w-hoop' a
little better; don't you think SOY"
WHO eyouY" demanded the Captain,
haughtily.
"They once called me Private Morgan,
of the Fourth Michigan Cavalry" said the
man, squirting one eye. j., -. ..,t,.
And the chivalrous Captain subsidized,
but his companion couldn't get along
without muttering in his ear the ominous
words yn.a

Food for the Great,

"GREAT men are great eaters" would
probably be the first exclamation of one
who was given to over-hasty generaliza-
tion. There would, indeed, I've many ex-
amples to support such a rule. Charles
", Tor instance, was an enormous eater
We are told that he breakfasted at five on
a fowl seethed in milk and dressed with
sugar and spices. After this he went to
sleep again. He dined at twelve, partak-
ing always of twenty dishes. He supped
twice; at first soon after vespers, and the
second time at midnight or one O'Clock,
which meal was, perhaps, the most solid
of the four. After meat he ate a great
quantity of pastry and sweetmeats, and he
irrigated every repast by vast draughts of
beer and wine. His stomach, originally q
wonderful one, succumbed after forty
years of such labors Motley, Rise of
the Dutch Republic'D After all, Charles
died at an age-about fifty-eight-at
which we are accustomed, in these days,
to consider statesman as still in the
prime of life. The love of pastry appears
to have been hereditary in the house of
Hapsburg. Philip H., the same historian
tells us, looked habitually on the ground
when he conversed, was chary of speech,
embarrassed, and even suffering in man
habitual pains in the stomach, occasioned
by his lnordinate fondness for pastry I"
Philip ordering an duto-dd.fe after meal
of gooseberry tart, which had disagreed
with him, is a subject for an historical pict
ure. Frederick the Great is another illus.
tration of the rule. Though hecould dine on
cup of chocolate in war time, he loved
good eating and drinking, and undoubted-
ly hastened his death by refusing to con-
form in any way to proper rules of diet
The King" wrote Mirabeau, who was
in Berlin at the time, leafs every day of
ten or twelve dishes at dinner, each very
highly seasoned; besides, at breakfast and
supper, bread and butter covered with
salted tongue and pepper. We are at the
last scene" No wonder. A short time
before gentleman dined with Frederick,
when an eel-pie was brought to table
which he declared was so hot "that it
looked as if it had been baked in hell !"
The King was immoderately fond of these
eel-pies peppered to excess. But about
six weeks before his death we have the
record OF breakfast such as a sick man
has rarely eaten. Our authority is again
Mirabeau. "On the 4th of July, when
the doctor (the celebrated Zimmerman,
from Hanover) saw the King in the after
noon, all had again changed for the worse.
He had applied himself to public business
from half-past three in the morning till
seven. He then ate for his breakfast
plate of sweetmeats composed of sugar,
white of eggs and sour cream; then straw
berries, cherries and cold meat" Fred
erick's illness was dropsy. He died on
the nth of August, 1886. Every school
boy will remember the parallel of the En-
glish King who died of eating too many
nmpreys. King John, too, is said to have
died of a surfeit OF peaches and new ale.

ably bo: Served him right.-BelgrGpia

amount of labor. SO, for a series of years,
wheat-that great staple of new countries

AS the seasons pass the crop becomes ex-
posed to various contingencies which tend
to reduce both the quantity and the quail

This Is principally due TO the mechan-
ical alteration Of the soil. II causes win

to be affected by mechanical influence,

crops is not due TO the wearing out of the

ganic matter than these sandy Soils

An Insane MOney-Maker.

The New York correspondent of the
Troy Times writes of insanity, and says:
! may here refer to the death of an ac-
quaintance, which occurred at Blooming
dale Asylum. He was a man of slender
build, but mental disease had reduced
him to extreme emaciation. He had not
lived much more than forty years and yet
he was the image of idiotic old age. Such
was the last scene in the life Of one who
was once highly gifted and eminently sue
cessful When first knew him he was a
fine-built young man, with brilliant
countenance and easy manner. He hired
a loft in warehouse and began trade ON
capital which could not have exceeded
5000. But from that beginning sprang
one of the greatest houses in the city. His
course was one of wonderful success, but
it taxed his system beyond its strength.
He was so excited that he could not sleep.
He became delirious on the subject of max
ingmoney. Itwas the sole theme ofhis con-
versation, and at last il was feared that
this talk was but form of insanity He
would call on his friends TO show them
How to make money" And this with
other vagaries compelled his friends to
place him in the asylum. Here he be-
came lunatic money-maker. He would
spend the day in calculation and at night
tell how many millions he had made. At
last his brain wore out and he sank into
idiocy, which only terminated with his
life. The concern which he built up is
one of great wealth, and he left hisifamily
a half million, but it was a small price
for which TO sell his reason.

A Thin Argument TO Shield Evil De-

Opposition popersof the New York Sun

mine of argument, and are working II
with much vigor. II is emboaied in tho
idea that Southern outbreaks and Ku-Klux
raids are the meats upon which tho I'e.
publican party feed that after State and
general elections all is quiet in the late in
surrectionary States, but as such elections
approach the raw head and bloody bones
are presented to the people Of the North
by Republican orators and journalists, and
the heart of the Northern people fired
with hatred and revenge, which finds vent
but in Radical majorities. They argue
that now all is peace, but warn their read
ers that next year representations of MUIR
der and rapine at the South will again be
made by the political purveyors of the Re.

of their readsrs--at least Il is an insult TO
the average intelligence of the American
people Who is 30 simple as not to realize
why the condition of things at the South
should be tranquil now and may be dis
turbed or sanguinary next yearY The dis
turbances in Chat unhappy section are al.
ways political. Now there is no political
excitement thcre-the people nre all at
tending to their DEMONSTRATING duties.
But next year the electors of the nation will
be called upon 10 exercise their constitu-
tional prerogatiye in voting for and electing
a President Of the United States, Congress-
men, and Legislatures which shall elect
United States Senators. Were the people
of the South permitted, they would quiet
ly drop their ballots and abide the result
But the politicians of that portion of our
country, smarling over their defeat in de.
stroying the Union, and eager to possess
themselves of the flesh pots" pertaining
to Office, are not prone to allow their
fellow-citiZens TO exercise freeman's will,
from ell-grounded apprehension that
the result of such action on their part
would be the continuance in power of the
party which frustrated their designs in
the late internecine struggle, and sup
planted their ensign with the starry
banner.
These Ishmaclites of the press try to
blind the eyes oftheir readers, ant, endeav-
or to prepare them TO look upon future ac-
counts of Ku-Klux outrages as Repub
lican thunder; but we incline TO the opin-
ION that il will be "love's labor lost.n
The Centennial year will not be found
to be a favorable one for those who
sought to end the nations life, at the age
of eighty-fve, to attain power. The fires
of '76 and '61-5 will re-illumine the
land the spirit Of patriotism will receive
new birth and baptism, and the Repub.
lican nominee for the Presidency will
stride over the course, with the acclaims
of redeemed people in chorus surround.

The Karens.

THE Rangoon Mail gives an interesting
description of the Karen tribes who Occu-
py the country which is the present sub
ject of dispute between England and Bur-
mall-a chain of broken hills running
north and south between the two coun,
tries, and called by the natives the Twelve
Mountains. They nun Der about $4,000,
and are said to be very superior race to
the kindred Karcns of the plains of British
Burmah. The latter had no written
language and little religion until the mis-
siOnaries created the one for them and in
troduccd the other; whereas these mount
aineers have their own priests and written
characters. The interior of the Karen
dwellings is fitted with raised seat round
the walls for sitting ON in the European
manner. And the necessity for this eX-
ceptional mOde of resting is apparent
when we learn that the women all
wear rings of thick brass wire bent
round the wrist and elbow, and
again round the knee and ankle, con-
fining them so in every motion that
they cannot possibly squat down ON the
ground in the usual Oriental fashion, nor
kneel to pray as the men do while in walk
ing their feet make two perfectly separate
tracks foot or so apart. 1t need hardly
be said that the men never submit to this
tyranny of custom. They are scnsibly
dressed in light jackets and trousers of an
almost European type, and are chiefly re-
markable outwardly for very closely shay
ing their heads, except where small top
knot is carefully left. But the effect of
the peculiar female fashion of the Twelve
Mountains is described as extraordinarily
irksome, even to the looker-on; in fact,
these selfimposed fetters cause the harem
ladies more bodily inconvenience, if pos
sihle, than the worst development of the
hoop or crinoline mania could have done /;
just as the nose appendage Of the Hindoo
beauty is more Troublesome than the
hardly less barbarous earring of her Lon
