Beecher and Bob Ingersoll on the subject
of hell. Beecher could deny the exist

could retute him by inquiring what is the
use of creating two men so wicked as the
chief disputants, unless there is hell
somewhere to furnish market for their
spiritual remains.

lawyer here, who at the time was con
fined to his bed by an incurable dis
ease. Wilson was, therefore. unable
to vindicate his wite's honor, and the
task devolved upon her brother, a
plucky young man named Barr, who
afterwards married the only daughter
of the late Senator Lewis i. Linn.
The parties met on Bloody Island and
exchanged shots, Colt receiving a
slight wound, and the affair ended.
Wilson died, and within a week or
two Colt married the widow. He was
under a social cloud for some time. and
left the city to go into business with
his brother, and established a branch
Of the pistol factory in England. He
had some disagreement with his
brother and returned to Hartford,
where he remained until his death. a
few days ago. Another of the Colt
brothers was executed for the murder
Of a printer named Adams. The
murder was a peculiarly atrocious one,
being committed on account of money
matters. Colt cut the body ofhis VIC
tim in pieces, packed them in a box
with salt and had the box shipped on
a vessel for st. Louis, but the nature
OF the strange freight was discovered
before the vessel sailed, and the muir
derer was arrested and hanged.

Wednesday morning last, about day.
light, a merry party Of young ladies and
gentlemen started from the residence Of
Mr.. David Hilderbrand, about ten miles
out ON the Holly Ford road, having in
view q day Of enjoyment at Horn Lake.
The conveyance used was a two-horSe
wagon, and as the road was not a she'll
road the reader can well imagine the de-
lightful jogging enjoyed going and COM
ing, To ameliorate the condition Of af-
fairs one Of the gentlemen entertained the
party with a lucid description Of an i'm
aginary panorama along the entire route,
describing many points of interest, both
historical and biblical, which furnished
continued merriment until they reached
the lake, whore the day was most pleas
antly passed in rowing IN the lake, stroll
ing in the woods and a splendid Ash fry.
II is asserted that one gentleman actually
eat until he assumed aldermanic proper
tions, but by careful attention he revived
later in the day, and his room-mato that
night overheard him singing in his sleep,

The party consisted Of Misses Sallie Il,
Brewster, Jessie Hilderbrand, Clara Hill
derbrand and Tennie Hamilton, and
Messrs. David IL. Hilderbrand, Robert
McManus, Ed f. Allen, Thomas Roberts,
Louis Hamilton and NJ. A. Mansfield.
We venture the assertion that no party
ever enjoyed a more pleasant day at the
lake.

Ruined BY Cards.

New York Times, November III
Frank A. Barr, a young man of
good connections in Wheeling, West
Va, and formerly a professor in the
University of Pennsylvania, came to
this city some months ago, and being
a man of good appearance and unex-
ceptionable references, procured a
situation as collector and book-keeper
for Mr.. Robert Morrison, of No. Al
Lispenard street. Last month Mr..
Morrison discovered that Barr had
collected and embezzled over seven
hundred dollars, covering up his de-
fciency by a series Of false entries.
Barr was arrested and confessed that
he had appropriated the money, not
with intent to steal, but in obedience
to an Unsuitable desire to gamble, which
he could not control. He began by
taking a little; then lost heavily; won
frequently, but lost more frequently.
and, ia the endeavor to retrieve his
losses and restore the sums taken from
his employer, he became hopelessly
entangled. From the Tombs he wrote
his employer touching appeals for
mercy, promising, if forgiven, never to
touch a card again. When arraigned
before Judge Gildersleeve in General
Sessions, yesterday, Barr, with tears
in his eyes, acknowledged his weak
ness and begged for mercy. Assistant
District Attorney Russell, having in
v~estigated the previous history Of the
prisoner, and having found his state
ments to be true, did not press fol-
severe punishment. Judge Glider
sleeve said that he believed the pris-
oner's story, and, as it was his first
offese, he would send him to the State
Reformatory at Elmira, where his SUI
perior education could be turned to q
good account in instructing those al.
ready confined there. Barr returned
thanks to the court and promised, OF
being released, to do all in his power
to make amends for the wrong he haC
done his employer.

The Memphis papers come to us
full size once more, and freighted with
news, editorial vigor and business life.
They had a long and bitter struggle,
and right nobly did they win the ad-
miration of the world for courageous
devotion to duty amid the most tragic
scenes ever witnessed on this CONT
nent. From only about one to five in
each Office, out of forces numbering
from twenty-five to eighty escaped the
dread scourge, while numbers fell at
the post Of duty. Throughout the
long dark night of woe that hung like
a pail over fair Memphis, the click,
click Of the types we're daily and
nightly heard in the Appeal, Ava
lanche and LEDGER offices, steadily,
INCREASINGLY, and unfaltering forming
in line to tell to the world daily
the dismal story of the great
plague" We are proud Of
the Memphis press, 1t has illustrated
The highest type of human courage
and devotion to duty. 1t has added
new luster to a profession that is sec
ond to none in philanthropy and hero
ism. Wherever the story of the great
Southern plague is told, all alongdown
the corridors Of time to be, whether in
palace or hovel, in city or desert, the
dauntlcss faithfulness of Memphis
newspaper men will be sounded and
! aDplauded, and unborn generations
will be thrilled and ennobled by the
epic they lived amid despair and death
and direst misery. All honor to the
Mem )his press say we, and may for
tune in rich and flooding streams make
their future bright with the apprecia-
ton Of a grateful people.

AN IMPOsTOR,
A Fraud Upon a Louisville Masonic

From "0ur Home" Louisyille.l
One George w. Hamilton, claiming
to have been made a Mason in 1878,
and giving Excelsior Lodge, No. 258,
of Louisville, as his Masonic home.
has, for several months, been solicit
ing relieffrom the lodges in New York.
Within the past few days he has been
detected in forging the name Of i MEM
Der of a lodge in Troy to an applica-
ton for relief. Excelsior Lodge never
had such a member-at least none
have been reported since 1872. 1t is
strange that applications made by such
frauds in cities are not more frequently
confronted with the reports by wire
and impostors arrested when they OBJ
tain money under false ~pretenses. A
few traps set and sprung on these pests
would make others wary and worthy
applicants would not then so often be
looked upon with suspicion. A few
dollars expended in telegraphing will
without doubt, prove a saving opera
ton, and when a few of these itinerant
vagabonds rest from their wandering:

up and down in it" and view the
world through the metallic meshes Of
