more plous citizens who could see nothing

scheme would gradually develop itself in
tne formation Of stable, temperate and
Christian character.
Their lease called for the prohibition of
all lntoxicants ON the premises, and their
good sense induced them. to add another

The Hrena Of Politics.

"NOu are a hyena, anyhow" was
the muttered remark of Sunset Cox
when he was called to order for styl-
ing Blaine a hyena during the am
nesty debate, and he spoke wiser
than he knew. No more truthful
Characterization of James b. Blaine
is possible, for his cold-blOOded cru
city in keeping alive the fires Ofsec-
tional strife, which would most as
suredly die out now but for such ag-
itatOrs as he and Wendell Phillips
and William Lloyd Garrison, must
be dictated by a nature strikingiy
like that of the cOwardly hyena.
They were invisible at the front
during the war, but like the beast
to which Blaine has been Iillened,
they kept up their hellish outcries
at a safe distance from the point of
danger. Now that the war is ended
they still thirst for blood, and strive
with each other to rend and tear the
crippled and PROSTATE South they
dared not meet in battle, Just as the
hyena attacks only the mangled
and helpless victims of Drawer ami
mails. Blaine may stir up New
England's war feeling anew, but
sooner or later they Will recognize
his hyena nature and turn upon him
and destroy him.-.S. Louis Replt6-

annals of vice and crime, and his
betrayer has left behind the heritage
of dubious name and doubtful
fame.
The Murrells were said by old
citizens who knew them well to be
a very handsome family. John A.,
especially, remarkable for his manly
beauty curling auburn hair, worn
long generally, decorated a classic
head, and prepOssessing face, that
would, said an observer, have drawn
attention and been noticed among a
thousand people. His sister, Leanna
Murrell, was remarkable for her
beauty, and was the most skillful
and graceful dancer of her day. She
possessed face of exquisite beauty
and sweetness a form of queen
ly grace, and an eye of melting
sOftness. None that looked on her
in her youthful bloom ever forgot
her wonderful beauty.

The Birthplace of John A. Murrell.


y Maury county correspondent
writes as follows to the Columbia
Herald and Mail:
In the adjoining Eleventh Dis
trict of Williamson county, but lit
tie over Il mile east from the Ridge
meeting house, a Presbyterian
church on the Franklin and Lewis
burg pike, there i noted and his
tnric hill.
\ few scattered hcarth-StOneS and
wild rose vines now alone mark the
birthplace of John y. Murrell.
The place where the celebrated ban
dit chief was born, and played
around those now scattered hearth
stones, in boyish innocence land
prattled by his fathers side, and
bowed his curly head upon a fond
mothers knee looks dreary and
desOlata. 1t il a Hill of broom sedge
aud thOrny thickets, a covert and
walk for foxes; like the birthplace
of other great criminals, it seems to
be avoided a. a habitation by man,
and blighted by the hand Of PrOYi-
dencp, and made deSolRIe,
Murrell was a great rObber and
chief of banditti, but he was not be-
lieved by those who had known
him long and well TO be the red
handed murderer as painted by
Virgil 4. Stewart, betrayed for
money, and by many believed to be
a member of the clan. \ highly
colored life of Murrell was written
to make money. 1t was a success,
and made Murrell famous in the
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-04-28
FROM HOUSTON COUNTY.

On Sunday morning, the 10Th
inst, r.. J. Buchanan was found
dead i'm bed at his residence in this
county. \ jury Of inquest was inn
mediately summoned by J. NJ.
Collier, a Justice Of the Peace for
said county. Upon examination
the jury reported that the deceased
came to his death by pistol shot
entering the head just above the
right ear, passed through the head
and out q little above and back of
the left ear. Buchanan was living
alone, had no family. 1t appears
that he had undresSed himself on
going to bed, his clothes being upon
a chair near the bed where he lay.
1t is unknown what time of the
night the foul murder was commit
ted the deceased was cold and stiff
when first discovered, lying on his
back very close To the front side of
the bed, his hands crossed upon his
breast, his feet crossed and his eyes
closed as though he had been care
fully laid out. His pistol was placed
between his right arm and his body
with the muzZlc pointing upward.
There Weie no signs or marks of
violence upon his person, except
the pistol shot through the head.
Three of the jury were of the
opinion that the deceased came to
his death by his own hand, but he
had shown no signs or indications
Of insanity ut any time previous to
his death. -Four of the jurors re-
port that he came to his death by
the hands of an unknown assassin.
There were six or seven dollars in
currency in his pocket. His gold
watch and twenty-five cents in sill
yer was found i'm a trunk in his
house. 1t has been reported that
the only missing article from the
house was a trunk, the contents of
which were unknown. We learn
that the deceased told his sister
some time before his death that he
had plenty Of money, but did not
tell Der where it was. The dead
body was not discovered until about
10 o'clock Sunday morning. Two
of his neighbOrS passing down the
creek by his house discovered the
door of the house was standing
open. They concluded to call and
see Buchanan. and upon entering
the house they were surprised to
lind him lying on the bed asleep, rs
they thought. They called him
several times, and upon his failing
TO answer they approached the bed
To ascertain the cause Of his silence,
when they discovered the wound in
the head. They fled in excitement
and gave the alarm. They report
that the door Of his house was
standing wide open, with the key
ou the outside. A. yet there is no
clue to vino committed the foul
crime. l..

How to Get Rich.

The great mass of the men are
ever trying to solve the question of
how to get rich, and in the attempt
to do SO have misery, pain, disgrace,
wrong, ignominy, discomfort and
all outrages of mankind that have
been perpetrated. A grasping, eager
desire to make money has estranged
friends, neighbors, brothers, fathers
and sons, and caused bitter hate and
strife where peace and love did and
should exist.
In the inordinate desire to amass
money, nine-tenths of all the trOu-
bles of life originate. 1t is the duty
of every one to try by all honest
means to make a living, and as the
time may arrive in the life of all
when sickness or misfortune or dis
ability may overtake us, it is always
desirable to be careful and prudent
and lay up a little means to prevent
suffering and want when misfortune
oVertakes US. But the idea is erro-
neOus that it is the main object of
life to hord up money The man
who has spent "a life in amassing and
building up a colossal fortune at the
6ApellSC Vi lllC ICCIlIASo, Tit lIlCI-
cts, and the prosperity of others,
does not enjoy a more happy and
quiet life or a more peaceable death
than the beggar.
Money may command influence,
and help to put a poor mortal up,
and cause him to be ostentatious,
but it never compensates for life
spent in trampling upon the rights
Of others. If there was more of a de-
sire to live and enjoy life; and to
do exact justice to all, less avarice,
more honesty, more consideration
for, and interest in neighbOrs and
friends, and less grasping after
money, there would be less misery,
more happiness, and longer and hap
pier .lives. Let the miser hoard his
i'll or honestly gotten gains, and you
live with an eye to comfort, and
with a proper respect for the rights
of others, and we assure you you
will live a happier and longer life.
