JOE BUrrs was in a Cincinnati jail
accused of robbing bank in another
part of Ohio. He wore long, heavy
beard, and the sheriff, who daily ex-
pected ire arrival of one Of the bank
officers who could Identify the prison
er, gave a strict order that the whis-
kers must not be cut of. One morn,
ing, however, Butts face was found
clean shaven, and the alteration in his
appearance was SO great that the
bank officer could not recognize him
as the robber. An investigation is to
be made to find out who enabled him
to shave or to be shaved.

THE s1x.sHoOrER IN POLITICS.

The personal rencounter at Shell
byyille yesterday, between Governor
Porter and Dorsey B. Thomas, as
detailed in a special to the Ava
lanche, published this morning, will
engage a large share of public at
tention and evoke various comments
from the supporters Of these gen.
tlemen. We regret that such a
thing should have occurred in
Tennessee at this time. 1t is GER
tainly not creditable to ourpolitical
system and modes of conducting
public discussions. We have only
the statement contained in this
special dispatch, which may or may
not be in the interest of one of the
parties. The card of Mr.. Thomas,
however, announces explicitly, the
fact that he will attend no more of
Governor Porter's appointments,
and that for the present, his own
are withdrawn. 1t is evident that
Governor Porter has devoted much
of his time to Mr.. Thomas re-
cord, and has been very aggressive
and severe. Whether he exceeded
the limits of propriety and courtesy
that should govern gentlemen of
high character and standing who
aspire to such an important posi-
tion as Governor of Tennessee can
be better judged Of when both sides
and a full report are made public.
1t is a little surprising that one Of
these gentlemen should be armed
with a pistol. This wonli be Il
violation of law were he not travel,
ing out of his county. The example
is not a good one forthe hot-headed,
impulsive young men Of the State.
If a governor who is among his
personal and political friends and
only a few miles from the capitol,
goes on the hustings to argue with
a six-shooter, is it not likely that
boys, young men, and even old
men, white and black, will be en-.
couraged to attend political meet
ings with pistols, bowie-kniyes and
razors in their pockets, and use
them instead of fists in case of a
disturbance? This would seem to
be the logical conclusion.

FOREIGN.

VIENNA, September pa difficulty
has arisen because the Porte, before
granting a prolongation of armistice, de-
sires the powers to give their opinion in
regard to its peace propositions. The
powers on the other hand persist in de-
handing a conclusion OF armistice ire
spective of this condition, because as
they have from the commencement in
sisted that an armistice was in
d~ispensible, they consider it would be
derogatory to admit any sort of compro
mise on the subject. The powers also
intend this attitude as q concession to
Russia, she having throughout the nego
tiations determinedly supported an un-
conditional armistice. AS the term of
present suspension Of hostilities draws
to a close the demands of the powers
become more pressing, some of them
having tolerably plainly intimated that
the POrte's refusal to grant an armistice
would lead to the suspension of their
diplomatic relations.

THAT Prize Fight.

The Criminal Court of Boone
county, KY, convened Monday at
Burlington, Judge McManama pre-
siding. In his charge to the grand
jary, the judge made reference to
the recent Goss-Allen prize fight in
the following terms:
"The soil Of Kentucky is sacred
to her own citizens and to those
visiting within her borders for a
lawful purpose. 1t was never in
tended to be the battle-ground for
professional pugilists. Such per-
sons are amenable to the law. On
this occasion Boone county was
selected for the fight, and it was
had. A high misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment,
was committed. An insolvent
railroad company of this State,
known as the Louisville Short Line,
with a receiver named Mcleod,
whose residence is in Louisville, is
mainly responsible for this scandal
GUS infraction of the law. The cor
poration cannot be held response
bic, but the receiver may. lie, as
learn from the public prints and
from other sources, provided en-
gines and cars to this unlawful in
y%asion, with a full knowledge of its
design. He is its alder and abet-
tor. | entreat you TO make an in
diotment against him. The engi-
neers and the conductors of the
trains are also responsible, and
should also be indicted. Every one
who was at all concerned in the
disgraceful affair is liable to and
deserves indictment"

Hnrr,et martincau sa woman.


For my own part, l intensely re-
greet her avowal of her latter con-
victions, if it were only on account
of the false view that it has gene
rally given of her character. Peo-
pie began to speak of her as "hard,"
''unchristian," "cold," ga man in
petticoats," ETC., whereas no more
gentle, kindly, and, if l may say so,
"'motherly" nature existed than
that of Harriet Martineau. She
delighted in children, and in the
friendship Of good wives and
mothers; one of her chief virtues,
indeed, was a simple domesticity,
that gave her a wonderful charm
with those who prefer true gentle
women to literary ~lionesses. To
my mind Harriet Martineau never
seemed to greater advantage than
with her knitting-needles in her
hands, or, like "Sarah Battle of
blessed memory" playing at "the
wholesome and athletic game of
cribbage," which the writer of these
lines had the honor to teach her.
How manya time in the summer
have l sat with her under
the porch of her beautiful cottage,
looking at the moonlit mountains
and the silver Rothay, which she
loved so well, although she never
heard its music. at is all so beau
said she, on one occasion, as
we looked upon this charming
scene, "that | am afraid TO with
draw my eyes from it, for fear it
should all melt" Her love of
the beautiesof nature was intense;
as keen as her sympathy with hui
man wrongs and struggles. 1t was
when she had first built her lovely
little home at Ambleside that the
incident occurred which | think re-
vealed to the American public years
ago, upon no such sad occasion as
the present-how being in want Of
turf for her lawn, and unable to
procure it, two cart-loads of that
rare commodity were thrown over
her wall in the night, with few i'll
spelled words to the effect that this
was the gift of a poor poacher who
had read her "Forest and Game
law Tales" This instance of graft
tude (albeit the man had probably
stolen the turf to show it) was very
dear to her, and moved her both to
tears and laughter; for her sense Of
humor-though she always affected
not to possess any, and to regret its
absence-was keen enough. Per-
haps she enjoyed nothing SO much
that arouse out of her literary fame
as the letter the school-boy wrote
to her when she lay dangerously i'll,
and "The Crofton Boys" remained
in consequence unfinished:
My DEAR Miss MARTINEAU, l
am very sorry to bear you ave so
bad. l hope you will get well; but
l do hope, if not, that some of your
family will finish 'The Crofton
Boys"
This notion Of a hereditary faint
of authorship always tickled her
very heart'strings.
