The indictment in charging that defend
ant intended 10 commit the crime, viz !:
rape, does not uss the word "unlawfully,"
which enters into the statutory description,
nor Is any equivalent word used. (42 Ind,

thing except slmple assault and battery.
But the motion to qussh was correctly an
nulied because the indictment COR

was addressed 10 the whole indictment.
The instruction OF TIE court was wrong. To
know a woman carnally by force against
her will, over twelve years OF age, or to
know a woman carnslly at all, under the
age of twelve, is rape. But the prosecution
can not change a rape of the one class, and
sustain it by PROOF OF a rape OF the other
class, nor can be charge an assault and bat

class, and sustain the charge by evidence of
an intent to commit q rape OF the other

LAVENDER.
IFrom Frank lie slIe.l


How prone we are TO hide and heard
zach little token love has stored,
To tell Of happy hours;
We lay aside with tender care
A tatte.ed book, a curl OF hair,
A bunch of faded flowers.
When dea.h has led with puIseless hand
Our dariings to the silent land,
while we sit bereft.
But time goes on: anon we rise,
Our deal being buried from our eyes,
We gather what Is lett.
The books they loved, the songs they sang
The little flute whose music rang
SO eherily OF old;
The pictures we have watched them paint,
The iast-plucked flo Wers. with odor faint,
That fell from fingers cold.
We smooth and fold with reverent care
The robes they, living, used to wear;
And painful pulses stir,
As Ger the relics of our dead,
with bitter rain of tears, we spread
Pale purple lavender.
And when we come in after years,
With only tender April tears
On cheeks once white with care,
To look at treasures put away
Despairing on that far on oayi
A subtle scent is there.
Dew-wet and fresh we gather them,
These fragrant dowers-noW every stem
Is bare OF all its plO0m.
Tear-wet and sweet we strewed them here,
To lend our relics sacred, dear,
Their beautiful perfume.
The scent abides on book and lutte,
On curl and flower, ard with tss mute
But eloquent appea.
IL wins from US q deeper sob
For our lost dead q sharper hrOb
Than We are won't 10 Ieel-

It's love, its loss, Its schlng woe,
And buried sorrows STIR;
And tears ike those we shed or old
Roll down our cheeks as we behold

vince, take the subject under serious con-
sideration, ard do not hastily make up
our verdict against . u which / regard
so sacred. so important to the future we'll
being of our beloved State. Believe me,
Tennessee sadly needs all the advantages
of an efficient, well ordered common school
system. Throw no impeachment in the way
because It is not all we now desire il TO be,
but rather let US all work together TO i'm
prove, elevate and perfect it, TO remove de
fects and to reform errors. Time is needed
to improve it. Experience will beget con-
fdence. And when We come TO present it
in more hopeful aspect, and 10 exhibit its
results after it has had a fair chance to
work out what there is in it Of good and
cheer to the rising generation, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the pre;udices and OPP
position of the most stubborn OPP
ponent will dissolve before It.
Then, fsllow-citizeHs, If not now,
1 confidently predict those of you, if indeed
there be any, who now most ~obstInately
oppose aid to the public schools,
will come forward and say, as is related by
the eminent educator, DR.. B. Sears, man
ager Of the Peabody fund, OF a gentleman
of high position, who addressed a meeting
in Virginia, saying:
sqf [ had lived in the time Of the food,
I should have been opposed to it. If the
building Of the ark had been proposed to
me, 1 should have objected. 1t was alto
gether too big. l should have said that
putting all those animals into it was too
much Of an undertaking. But the flood
has come. The ark is beginning to float
and lest 1 be engulfed, and become a fossil,
to become examined as a curiosity in after
years, l 90 for universal education"
This, fellow citizens, is the keynote
which I hope and pray may tone every
meeting n thrill in every heart, through
out the broad extent Of our beloved State,
until Tennessee shall be as renowned for
her free educational institutions as she just
IL is for the chiFalry Of her sOn and the
graces Of her fair daughters.

WAR In HANCOCK COUNTY.
A Feud Between Two Families and
Resort TO Arms-TWO lei Seriously
Injured, One of Them Probably
Fatally.
Knoxville Chronicle

hDOLFule chronicle
From a gentleman lately in Hancock
county we learn that a regular war is being
carried on between two families in thai
county which has already resulted serious
", and promises to prove more so in the
future. As near as be could gather the
facts, they are about as follows:
Perhaps something over a year ago aman
named Ray was killed in the streets Of
~Sneedville, and the relatives Of the muir
dered man charged that a family named
Mullens, living somewhere in the ridges in
that n~eighborhOOd, had something 10 do
with the murder, and a deep hatred seems
to exist between the two families. The
Mullens are a desperate SET, and it is said
that they have sworn that the Rays and
Raneses, who are connected, shall not live
in that county. About two weeks ago
three of the Rays were passing over the
ridge, and seeing one Of the Mullens
Women passing from house to house, and
enuuiring, they learned that she was mus
tering the forces, and they we're TO be at
tackled, upon learning which the Rays, who,
by the by, are pretty hard cases themselves,
became the attacking party, and two of the
Mullens-Wallace and Sam.-Were terribly
beaten up, and one of them it is thought
will die from his wounds. All the rela-
tives on both sides have armed themselves,
and have declared war TO the last and
hence some twenty men are daily looking
out for some one to murder.
On last Saturday, q week ago, six Of
the Mullens attacked three Of the Rays and
Raneses, andshOts passed between them all
day. One party was in a house and the
other out in an open field, they being about
two hundred yards apart. The distance
was too great for any damage to be done.
On last Monday, ore week ago, our in
formant was at Mulberry Gap, when three
of the RAYS and Raneses made their ap-
paarance, all armed to the teeth, each hay
ing a Spencer rifle and abrace of TeyOlyers.
They 90 about openly thus armed for war,
and the officers Of the law dare not make
an attempt to arrest them. They cansOon
retreat to the ridges, and absolute betrayal
on the part of one of their number would
be necessary to effect a capture. It is a sad
state of affairs, and it seems to US that the
good citizens Of the county should band
together to put a stop to such outlawry.

QUINCY, Ill, April 29.-The COroner's
Jury brought in a verdict to-day charging
that the child Of Anna Kicker came to its
death a. the hands of Madame Ingham and
DR.. W. j. Smith, who were accordingly
taken into custody at 10 o'clock to-day for
examination. Several witnesses for the
prosecution had been sworn, when
States Attorney Ewing closed the testi-
mony for the State by offering in evidence a
letter written by Smith to Madame Ing
ham. 1t appears that the letter had been
written by Smith, who was at Jacksonville,
giving Ingham instructions how 10 perform
the abortion on the girl Kicker. At his re-
quest Ewing handed the letter to Covert,
one of the attorneys for the defense, when
Covert refused to return il. After some
parley, Ewing snatched the letter from
Govert's hands when Gilmer, another at
torney for the defense, instantly snatched
it from EWing's hands. Ewing seized Gil
mer by the throat, and made him drop
the letter, which was at once grabbed up by
Smith, the defendant, who commenced cram
ming it into his mouth, with the intention
Of swallowing it. Ewing thereupOn at
tackled Smith, and the officers present joined
Ewing in his efforts to recover the letter
and prevent its destruction. An alarm was
raised in the crowd, and a general fight
seemed eminent. Smith is a powerful man,
and for a few moments easily resisted the
efforts Of the officers to OyerpOwer him.
Cries of Lynch him. were raised by the
excited crowd, but the Chief Of Police
peremptOrily forbade any such attempt, and
in a few minutes Smith was telled TO the
floor, and, by dint Of choking, was made
to spit out the remains Of the letter.
The court room was crowded, and
the excitement intense. 1t was only by sire
nuous efforts that the police could restrain
the spectators from taking Smith out and
lynching him. During the melee Madame
Ingham and Hunt, the alleged father Of the
child, made their escape, bat were immedi-
ately retaken. The letter in question was
procured by the Chief Of Police last night
from a drawer in Smiths Office, and the de-
tense was not aware until to-day that the
prosecuting attorney Lad it in his posses
sion. The document was nearly destroyed
by Smith, but it is understood that Ewing
had taken a cOpyOf it, aud he had also read
it to parties who will swear to its contents.
The letter is said to be sufficient to hold
Smith and Ingham on a charge Of murder.
The conduct Of the attorneys for the de-
feEse is the subject Of general eXecratiOn.
