ina OId Hatehez Trace Road.

An old citizen Of MaUTy, whose memo
~ runs back 10 the early days of the pres
ent century, gives the Columbia Herald
and Mail some interesting facts connected
with the origin and construction Of the
Natchez road, the first and originally the
only inland communication between Ten
uessee and all the States north Of her and
the States Of Mississippi and New Orleans,
in Louisiana, south of Tennessee. II has
been claimed that Gen. jackson had il
cut, when the fact is that Gen. Jackson
never saw the road until he travelled il on
his way to Tennessee from NatcheZ with
his wife after their marriage. The Natchez
road was cut out by order Of the
War Department during the ad-
miuistration Of Thomas jefferson.
Il was opened by a detachment
of United States soldiers under the conf
mand Of Capt. Thomas Butler and Lieu
tenant Edmond 2. Gaines, and was opened
for the purpose OF afiOrdIng a way for all
those who descended the Mississippi river
in flatbOats, carrying the products of the
States TO the markets Of Natchez aud New
Orleans, as steam had not been introduced
upou the rivers. The territory through
which the road ran was a wilderness, and
mostly through the Chickasaw and ChOc-
taw nation, 10 whom the territory then
belonged. The road commenced It Nash
vile and terminated at Line Creek,
the Southern limits Of the ChOc-
taw nation, about twenty-five miles
north Of Port Gibson in the Slate Of
Mississippi. l. was known as the Federal
road, and is said to have been the first road
ever opened by military authority in the
United States OF by the Federal Govern
ment. From Nashville the road ran out
by Gen. Harding's; thence through the Per-
kins settlement west Of Franklin, by Hills
boro, GCrdOn's Ferry on Duck river, Dob
bins on Big Swan, Grinders on Little
Swan, McClish's on Buffalo, the big Factors
and little Factors doth Indians), and
crossed the Tennessee river at COlbert's
Ferry a little above COlbert's Shoals
thence by the BuZZard ROOSt and Bear
creek, Browns swamp at Jim Browns
(anOther Iudian);- thence to Peacblin's, the |
two LaAOres' and Brashear's, when it en-
tered the ChOctaw Territory; thence by |
DOak's. and terminated at Line Creek. !
The road was mile-nOtChed for the first |
hundred miles on trees; \ tri-weekly United |
States mail was placed upon the road, and |
the mail carried upon horseback; the earli- /
est riders were MelUCen, Sweeney and one |
other whOse name is now forgotten. Hun
dreds aud thousands Of returning traders
Travelled this road until 1915, when Gen.
jackson Opene out the military road by |
way Of Florence, Ala. The road is now al
most wholly abandoned, particularly south
Of Duck river,

TOOTH AND MUSCLE.
Desperate Fight Between Two Stout
Men.
A MOuthfuI Bitten Out Of an Eur.

Lawrence Kuhn and Hans Myers bad a
desperate fist and skull fight on the corner
of Deaderick and Cherry streets about 7
o'clock yesterday evening. From what we
were able to gather concerning the difficult
ty, the former engaged the latter in a con-
versatiOn that resulted in the rencOunter.
1t is said Kuhn asked Myers where he was
going and the latter replied that it was none
Of kuhn's business. Kuhn then gave
Myers push that sent him reeling out
into the street. The latter recovered lis
footing and made at Kuhn, and then the
fight began in dead earnest. Both com
batants are stOutly built and possess great
strength. First one had the upper hand
and then the other. AT length, after they
had fallen to the ground with Kuhn under
the bottom, he caught Myers BY the ear
with his teeth and bit out good sized
piece Of the upper portion.
About this time officers Tyndall and Mas
sey reached the scene, separated the COM
balants and took them to the statiOn-house.
After arranging for their future appearance,
Kuhn and Myers were released. The lat
teT's wound was dressed By DR.. +. NJ.
Hughes. Kunn was afte-Ward arrested by
detective Watson on a State warrant,
charging him with mayhem, sworn out by
Myers. He was taken before Justice
Creighton and required to give bond in the
sum OFFS, 900 for his appearance at lOo'clock
tomorrow morning. Later in the evening
Kuhn anu Myers both came back to the
scene Of their difficulty, and at one time
another renCcUnter was imminent, but they
were prevented from again locking horns.
The reader is respectfully warned not TO
cOnfOUnd Mr.. Kuhn's magnificent proper
tiOns with the splendid physique Of our
friend Caspar b. Kuhn, connected with the
house Of Steinback x Davis.

NOTHING FROM THE MISSING
ERONAUTS,



Nothing was learned from the erOnauts,
Donaldson and GrimwOOd, yesterday, and
now that a full week has passed and moth
.1g has been asceTtained concerning their
faia. the conviction is being forced upon
evarton.' that they are certainly lost
There are a few who continue to hope
AGAINST boue |. TAT they may yet turn Up
alive. and amone these are the afflicted
parents Of lie young journalist,
GrimwOod, and until some evidence
is found affecting his fAl.e' InlS hope
will continue. It would be q lr7hel' now
ever, if even some evidence Of thse' uealh
was learned, and thus end the susl '9ilse
which will certainly otherwise eOntins'e
for a considerable time. Tho long time
which has elapsed since they t6Ok their
departure, and the fact that nothing re-
lating 70 them has been found by passing
vessels has almost entirely exploded the
theory that they lost their lives ia Lake
Michigan, and the prevailing idea now Is,
that they either lost their lives in the Mich
igsn woods, or were carried across into
Canada.

The Type Writer.-The Indianapolis
Mechanical Journal talks as follows con-
corning the Type Writer:
We mentioned last month the introduce
tiOn Of the Type Writer upon this mal kes
BY MessrS. Hutchinson & Co. During the
past two weeks We have been using one Of
them in our office, and from our experience
we can say much more in recommendation
of them than We we're previously inclined
to do. We have used it for our correspond
ence, and in so doing have effected a very
great saving in time. The letters written
upon it copy perfectly and are just as easily
read as printed page. We have also used
it in editorial writing, indeed, for every
purpose for which we would ordinarily use
a pen or pencil. Although not yet expert
in the manipulation Of the keys, with less
than ten days practice, we are easily able
to write fully twice as fast as with pen or
pencil.
The business men Of the city who have
very much correspondence are learning and
approaching its advantages, and quite a
large number of them have already been
sold. Professional men, especially, find
them exceedingly valuable. We can say
without hesitation that in any office where
there is a considerable amount Of cores
pOndenee, they viii very soon repay the ex-
penditure in the time saved, while il is very
much easier and healthier for the operator
than sitting over a desk. They are very
simple, can be used without any instruc-
ton, as the operation is comprehended at a
glance, are not liable to get out Cf order and
fulfill every requirement Of . business office,
either for letter writing or copying.
These machines are now on exhibition
and for sale by j. Clary & Co. at SO North
Summer street, General Agents for the
Remington Sewing Machines and also for

MURDER OF A PEDDLER.
4 Most Foul Deed Of Blood in the
Hills Of OYertOn County.
How the Victim was DeeOyed by an
Invitation to Dine with the
Perpetrators.

BriefmentiOn was made in these columns
a few mornings since of a murder which
had Just come to li1ht in the Upper Cum
berland country, the dead body Of one
Joseph Foster, peddler, having been dis
covered in sink-hOle. Some merchants
on the Square, seeing the item, were Ie-
minded Of peddler named J. ). Foster,
10 wkom they had sold goods. Futher
particulars of the affair came to the house
Of Morgan, Thomas n Co. evening before
last, through a party from the region in
which it occurred.
No doubt remains that it was the same
Foster, who had occasionally stored his
peddling wagon in Nashville. He was
killed in the upper part Of Oyerton county,
in the vicinity of a country store, where
whisky was the principal thing dealt in.
This concern was Kept 10y two brothers,
who are supposed 10 have done the bloody
deed, and who have shut up their shop and
fled the country. Foster stopped there and
made purchase Of something, and got in
his vehicle and drove on quarter or a half
mile, when he found that he had left his
pOcket-bOCk. lie returned and found his
pOcket-bOOk, just where he concluded he
must have left e, as if il had not
been disturbed. He opened il ANA
counted the money for fear it
had been rifled. 1t is supposed that in do
ing this be exposed a considerable sum for
that country $50, perhaps), and the keep
ers of the shop at once invited the peddler
to 90 70 dinner with them. None Of the
money had been taken, and Foster was
prevailed upon to go with them. We sup
pose some neigbbOrs were present. The
three disappeared in the woods back of
the store, and that was the last seen
of the peddler, by anyone else, till his body
was recently found in the cave. 1t was
probably by the scent or the
of carnivOTOus birds. IL is
said that the brothers at once HE'D them
away to parts unknown. Seldom has a
fOuler murder been chrOnicled. Il would
delight the very soul Of justice to avenge
ii BY due process of law.

A Big break I'm enc Memphi. branch

The heavy rains of Friday night caused
a serious break in the Memphis branch of
the Louisville, Nashville and Great South
eTn road between Mckenzie and Milan.
About three hundred yards of the track
and several trestles were washed away.
Until the necessary repairs can be made
trains on that road will go on the Missis-
sippi Central at Milan and run to Frost
Station, where they will take the North
western 10 Mckenzie, and thence on to
Memphis over their own track. A slight
wash was caused in the Northwestern near
Mckenzie Friday night, but it only had the
effect of delaying the night trains for a
short time,
