an AraJidn Heroine.

Tne Echo UniuerSel contains a strange
story of an Arabian woman taking up
arms and marching at the head Of her
tribe to combat the Turks. The gin. the
daughter OF an Emir OF the Bedouin
tribe Beni Kawas, in the district Of Be.
dor, had, when only 10 years old, been
affianced to a Young man OF her tribe,
celebrated for his prowess and deeds OF
valor. The young man, not satisfied
with his laurels won by hunting the lion
and the tiger. wished 10 battle with the
Turks, their natural enemies, ere he mar
ried the wife promised TO him, and ac-
cordingly, accompanied by few Young
men, he attacked some Of the small de-
tachments of the Turkish soldiers. Be
ing wounded in one OF these encounters,
he was carried off By his enemies, shot
and mutiated. His bride, managing by
some slratagem 10 get possession ot the
head OF her intended husband, made q
VOW to avepge his death upon the sold
iers of the Padishah.
The Emir, touched by the prayers and
tears of his child, called upon the tribe,
the whole OF the Bedouin horsemen OF
Benz Kawas rising in consequence
against the domination OF the Padishah.
The daughter of the Emir, armed like
the men, and carrying their banner, like
Joan of Arc was always foremost in their
attacks upon the enemy, closely followed
by her father, the Emir, her brothers,
and the remainder of the horsemen The
Turkish government set q price or her
head, in order to capture her and TO stop
the slaughter OF the soldiers; but to no
purpose, as the Turkish soldiers are hated
by the whole populace, and attacked Wig
orously whenever making their appear
ance. The Arabian poets have made the
heroine the subject of their songs, and
she is now the most famous parsonage in
the district OF Beder.

Not Tildcn,

The assertion of Southern correspond
ent that the "weight of Southern favor
pravitates toward Governor Tilden" as
Presidential candidate rouses the ire Of the
Augusta (Ga.) "Chronicle and Sentinel
and prompts 1t to make this retort: "If the
correspondent has been in nearly all Of the
Southern States during the past year, and,
after studying the political situation care
fuuy,' asserts that the Southern people fa-
yor the nomination of Mr.. Tilden, he IL
either liar or lunatic. The Southern
people do not favor the nomination of Mr..
Tilden, and the proof Of this statement VIII
be fully proven by the votes which will be
cast by their delegates in the next National
Democratic Convention. We have no doubt
that New York wishes to force him upon
the South; but 1t is one thing to wish and
another and very different thing to do. New
York has been intriguing for long time to
secure his nomination, but New York will
not be permitted to control the next Demo-
cratic Convention. Governor Tilden may
rest assured that the West and South will
nominate the next Democratic candidate for
the Presidency-and that his name will not
be Tidep,o

Proctor Knctt a. q Jurist.

In 1859, when Mr.. Knott was very
young man, he represented Scotland coun.
ty in the lower House of the Missouri
Legislature, and such was his standing at
the bar even then that he was made Chair.
man of the Judiciary Committee Of that
body. As such he drew up and reported
the articles of impeachment upon which
Judge Albert jackson CT the Fit.
teenth Judicial District was tried.
By vote Of 90 out of 9G Mr..
Knott was chosen principal manager Of the
impeachment on the part of the House,
and the present Governor, the Hon. Chas.
R. Hardin, was chosen to assist him by q
vote of G8 out of 83. ..... :....
The reputation which Mr.. Knott made
in that impeachment trial secured his no.
mination and election as Attorney General
of Missouri the following year. Being
ousted by the war before the close of his
term, he returned to Lebanon, KY, his
native place, and has there enjoyed ever
since large law practice and proud po-
si,ion at the bar. He was elected to the
Fortieth and Forty-frst Congresses, and
now, after an intermission Of feur years, is

THE TWO AWFUL CSs.

The TWO AWFUL CNS.
The large audience which gathered at the
Opera House, last evening, must have at
tended from the wide advertisement the
play has gained for brilliant dramatic situa-
tions, startling tableaux and scenic effects.
Rendered by Q good troupe and under well
organized stage management it is truly a
great dramatic treat. But as witnessed
last evening 1t was an abortion of merit and
an imposition upon the people of Whining
ton. Actors who have never risen higher
than first walking gentlemen assuming
leading characters is too noticeable fraud
to be palmed on upon public who have
Witnessed IS fnc acting as the people Of

which she now has with her is an excellent
ore, and those who attend the Opera House
this evening will not be disappointed.
