The long talkei-of limited fast mail
train to the weps il now N almost accom-
plished fact. At twenty minutes after
seven oclock, A. NJ, on Monday, the frst
express starts on its journey. Its bound
to make the trip through from Philadel-
phia to Pitsburg in ten hours and forty
minutes; 10 Chicago in twenty three hours
and fifteen minutes, to Cincinnati in twen-
ty hours aud fifty-fve minutes, 10 Louis
Vile in twenty-five hours and twenty-five
minutes, to New Orleans in ffty-nine
houn and forty minutes, to 81. Louis in
thirty houn and ten minutes This train
runs by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and connecting lines. 1t is more than
probable, however, that no mail matter will
be taken on this or any other limited ex-
pres until the 10th instant, the date orig
inally fixed upon BY Mr.. Bangs,
General Railway Postal Superinlen-
dent of the United States. 1t may
be we'll at this junc:ure to give to the
general public the truth of the little tiff
between the Northern Central and the
Pennsylvania Railroads, about which 90
much was written BY irresponsible
Journalists who were not cOnversant with
the facts which they presumed to argue
upon, and thus mislead their readers. The
proper way in which to get at the truth of
any matter is to at once proceed to the
fountain-head. This was done BY as. We
learned from Mr.. Bangs that no partially
whatever had been shown by him or any
person connected with the postal service OF
the Northern Central in the matter OF
starting trains. "An impression" he .aid
seems to have somehow gone abroad that
the Pennsylvania Railroad was held until
the other ruads were ready. This is not
true. The fact of the matter is that i
held one road until the other would be
ready with its cars, fixing the 10th inst, as
start. When the Northern Central learned
that the Pennsylvania were also to start,
and that the time for doing 80 had been de-
termined upon, they very coolly wanted to
start on the 9th inst, though their arrange
ments had not been completed. Iwould not
allow this, and the next thing l heard was
that the Pennsylvania road had completed
their preparations ahead of all their great
rivals, and desired to start on the 18th inst
In this case l also adhered to the date upon
which l had already settled. Thus you
have the entire case in nutshell. There
was, of course, at the time of fixing the
date, anot 1er difficulty in existence, and i:
was not slight one. The Post Office De-
partment was not then prepared either with
experts or the necessary schedules Of dis
tribution. Matters have now been almos,
and we may reasonably hope
to see the limited fast mail train to the
West a success in a short time"
The following is the postal schedule
which was issued simultaneously Yesterday

the other, uncertain which 10 rest upon,
but the problem was solved when Mr..
Lyon spelled 'icozen'' with an ssou.1 Then
there was storm Of hearty applause,
though the accent Of the successful COM
petitOr betrayed the fact that he was Of
foreign birth and had but recently settled
in our midst.
TIE PRESENTATION.
The applause having subsided, Prof.
Fall introduced the champion to the au-
dience and then, taking the silver cup in
his hand, said:
"Mr. Starey, It is my very pleasant duty
to present to you, in the name Of the man
ayers of this contest, the prize. It may be,
sir, somewhat mortifying to our national
pride that a stranger, and one 50 young as
yourself, should at his very first appearance
in public before Nashville audience, bear
of prize for which so many Of us were
competing; but, sir, hope this may be but
a fOrerunner Of future success on your part
in your adopted home. Because you are a
stranger, and because you are a young man,
it gratifes me exceedingly tOsay these words
to you. And another thing | have 10 say
to you, sir; coming, as you do, from our far
distant fatherland, L hope all contests
which may take place in the future between
your nation and ours may be as peaceful
and as pleasant as the one We have just
witnessed" [Applause.l
THE RESPONSE.
Taking the cup in the midst Of uprOari-
Gus demands for "a speech,' ga speechn'
Mr.. Starey said:
"Mr. Fall, and ladies and gentlemen: 1
beg to thank you very much for the cup you
have done me the honor to present to me,
though l can but know that it has not
fallen to me because Of any proves Of my
own. only hope this contest has afforded
some amusement 70 those present, and 1
trust that if the entertainment has not
proven as instructive as it might have been,
those present will remember that the money
derived from it will be appropriated to
good purpose. beg again to thank you,
Mr.. Fall, and all.present, for .he honor you
have done me-" Prolonged applause.l
With this, the entertainment closed,
Prof. Clark announcing that i would be
repeated next Thursday night, at the
Opera House. We trust it may, aud that
this repetition may be followed by other
spelling matches, as 3 great deal Of instruc-
tiOn and amusement can be had in this
way, at a triaing expense.

WITCHCRAFF.

The supernatural machinery interviewer
with the tragedy Of Macbeth is founded
on a superstitiOus belief which was enter
tained during Shapspeare's liftime by all
classes both in England and Scotland. In
a sermon which Bishop Jewel preached be-
fore Elizabeth, he beseeched her Grace to
understand that witches and sOrcerers had
marVelOusly increased within the realm,
and that through their malevolenee her
Grace's subject often pined away even un-
to death; their color fading, their flesh rot
ting, their speech denied, and their senses
obScured. II any adversity, grief, sickness,
loss Of children, of corn, cattle, or other
possessions, happened to any one, witches
were blamed for it. The Queen herself,
ebeing under excessive anguish by pains
of her teeth, in so much that she took no
rest for divers nights" Mrs. Dier was ac-
cused of having brought on the afflictiOn
BY cOnjuration and witchcraft. If there
was a thunderstorm or a gale of wind one
or two witches were seized and burned as
a preventive for the future.
This popular frenzy was much encour-
aged by the publication at Edinburgh, in
1896, of a work entitled. "Daemonologie, -
by no less an author than King James
himself This treatise owed its origin,
it is said, to a discovery which the King
had made that when he went to Denmark,
in 1890, there was a conspiracy Of 200
witcnes to drown him on his return. A
London edition Of the DaemonolOgie was
issued in 1908, the preface to which speaks
of 'the fearful abounding at this time of
those detestable slaves Of the devil, the
witches or enchanters."
The Legislature lent IFS sanction to the
belief; in a statute against witches, which
was passed after the accession of James,
and was not repealed till 1736, it was en-
acted that any one who should practice any
Invocation or conjuratiOn Of any evil or
wicked spirit, or consult, covenant with,
entertain OF employ, feed or reward any
such evil or wicked spirit; or who should
take up any dead man, woman or child
out of the grave, or the skin, bone, or other
part Of any dead person, to be employed
in any manner of witchcraft, sOrcery,
charm, or enChantment, whereby any per-
son shall be killed, destroyed, wasted, con-
sumed, pined, or lamed in body; such Of
Tenders, on being duly convicted, shall suf
fer death. The persons suspected ofwitch-
craft were for the most part old, lame,
bleaT-eyed, and wrinkled women, who led
sullen and solitOry lives.-COllin's ShGks-

A BULLET IN THE BRAIN.


1t is the fifth day since bullet weighing
half an ounce was lodged in the brain of
Mr.. Carruth, the Vineland editor, and he
is still alive; and this fact is scarcely com
prehensible to many, who conceive the
brain as in itself so essentially vital that
any injury to it is followed inevitably and
almost Immediately by death. Indeed,
popular knowledge is only divided between
the brain and the heart as the essential
seats Of vitality; and it was a great
puzzle to people when, some years
ago, a pistol bullet was lodged
in the heart of the well-known Bill
Poole, and that comparatively decent
bravo Of city politics did not Immediately
die. In POole's case the bullet was Ger
tainly lodged in the muscular walls of the
heart, and it might have been as safe there
as in almost any other muscle, if rep0se and
attention had eased the labor of the heart
till careful nature could hayereinfOrced the
walls and provided against accidents; but
an enemy was permitted 10 enter his room
too early-there was new alteration, an
excitement, and, the heart being forced to
an untinefy energy, the thin septum Of
muscle that kept the bullet in a safe place
was broken through, the function of the
organ was interfe ed with and death came.
It is just as certain in this case that Car
uth's brain is wounded, yet he lives, and
people who find that a shot in the heart or
brain may vet not be fatal, viii begin to
mistrust their revOlvers.

His Reception by His Congregation
Preparing 20 Testify ia the Scandal
Suit.
NEW YORK, March 2T.-Last evening
every seat and even standing room was oc-
cupied fifteen minutes before the hour of
opening the regular Friday night prayer
meeting at Plymouth Church. On Mr..
Beecher's table, in addition to basket of
flowers, was a small cross twined with
vines. During the evening Mr.. Beecher
said he had always had good time in this
life, which caused a smile to run over the
faces Of the audience.
Mr.. Evarts and Mr.. Beecher are together
in afternoons when they are missed from
the courtroom. They are going over the
history of the scandal, and put much of
Mr.. Beecher's testimony down in writing.
Mr.. Beecher has filed two blank books
with a condensed narration Of his testi-
mony, and they are in Mr.. Evarts' hands.
There are some extensive preparations
being made for rebuttal testimony. When
Gen. Butler was in New York Sunday, he
was subppnaed TO testify in rebuttal, in
case Gen. Tracy testiies that he made no
efforts to keep MoultOn from publishing his
statement.

News from Corpus Christi.

News from Corpus Christi.
GALVESTON, March IA special to
the NelcS from Corpus Christi, Texas, of
to-day, says: A band Of Mexicans came
within seven miles of town and robbed
several stores and houses, and took a large
number Of Americans prisoners, among
them Judge Gilpin, formerly member Of
the Legislature, and two women. They
compelled the captives to walk in front Of
them till they were exhausted, then
mounted them on bareback horses and
hurried them off They robbed and burned
the pOstofiice at Neuces, and robbed and
took prisoner one mail-rider. Texans
have gone in pursuit and fight is reported
near Banquette, one Mexican and two
Americans being killed. All except four
prisoners escaped, but nothing has been
heard of them. Business is mostly sus-
pended and the citizens are under arms
guarding the town. Information received
from Los Dimes, Neuces county, says
throughout the entire region between there
and the Rio Grande, lawless bands from
Mexico are continually raiding through the
country, robbing, numbering and driving
stock across the river. They have become
so daring of late that nearly all travel on
the highways has ceased. Even stoclmen
are deferred from hunting their cattle,
through fear Of falling into the hands Of
these ruffians. At present there appears TO
be a concerted movement on the part of
these Williams to clean out the white men
within striking distance Of the Rio Grande,
80 10 % miles, and even further, where in
gress and egress can be safely effected. To
this end they have been crossing the liver
in small detachments for the past
week, and it is estimated that there
are now on Texas soil at least
500 armed bandits. RumOr hath it that
several Americans near the river have
been murdered by them. A rumOr comes
in that the Mexicans have gathered up a
company or two of negro soldiers at San
Huisf on the Rio Grande, about forty miles
below Rio Grande City, and number of
armed men were seen lowering near this
place. A number of Mexicans reside here,
but they cannot be depended upon for as
sistance in a contest in which their coun-
trymen are engaged. Nearly the entire
Rio Grande frontier of Texas, embracing a
belt of from 80 to 100 miles in width, is
inhabited mostly by Mexicans, many Of
whom, though taking no active part in the
forsys of the thieves, yet sympythize with
and give them secret aid and comfort.

Novel way 10 STOP a Hanging.

NEW YORK, March PA dispatch from
Morehead City, n. c., says the negro Bry-
an, sentenced 10 be executed yesterday for
the murder of Michael I. Langley, in
April, 1874, in Ous,ow county, has been
respited by the Governor until September
next. This was OccssiOned by the reslgna-
tiOn Of the Sheriff and all other county OIL
Gers who were in any degree responsible
for the execution Of the sentence. The
reason given by these officials for the nom
execution Of the death penalty is that the
negro criminal belonged in Ouslow county
and not in their (Carteret) county, whittier
his case had been removed and tried. The
Governor had on this account to postpone
the execution to the Sd Of September, when
a new Sheriff and county officers will be
elected.
