Ready for ReSurrectiOniSts.

The death of Miss Susan Shepherd,
of Wayne township, last week, cast a
gloom over the entire community in
which she lived and was so we'll and
favorably known. Her funeral took
place on Tuesday from the residence of
her parents, and was unusually largely
attended. The deceased was of un-
usual refinement and social culture, and
possessed those womanly virtues to an
eminent degree which go so far to make
womanhood honorable and honored.
She was a member of the choir and
Sabbath-school of the NJ. E. Church at
Osborn, and her demise leaves a va
cancy which cannot be easily filed.
Miss Shepherds disease was of a char
acter to battle the skill of the best medi-
cal talent of that vicinity and of Osborn,
and there was, it is said, great diversity
of opinion as to the proper mode Of
treatment. After her death her family
offered the attending physicians an op-
portunity of making an autopsy. but
they did not avail themselves of the
privilege. The friends of the deceased
seemed to feel that they had just reason
to fear that her body would be ex-
humed, and the thought Of her grave
being robbed grew upon them SO
strongly and was so repulsive to them
that as matter of safety and precau-
ton it was thought best to inter her re-
mains in grave in the yard at her
parents residence, instead of in the
graveyard at Osborn. Accordingly a
grave was dug in the yard, few feet
from the front door of the residence,
and her remains lie beneath the beau
tiful flowers and evergreens which she
had loved so we'll, and which had been
cultivated and reared by her own fair
hands. To make assurance doubly
sure that her grave would not be de-
spoiled, quantity of nitro-g lycerine
was SO placed in the grave that should
ghouls attempt to rob it they would be
hoisted by a petard that would ef-
fectually end their infamous career

through to see what could be done, and
to bring out our wounded at least. The
gentlemen had hardly explained their
mission, when Richard Pippin and E.
w. Terry sent in note that they had
permission to come in, and they did SO
promptly, and at once proposed to go
with Mr.. Chaplin and see Campbell Nor
gan, who was said to be in command,
and have the attacking party dispense.
They soon returned with tie message
that if we would petition the President
and Federal Court to pardon all their Of
lenses up to date they would let us out.
We repeated that we could not control
the action of the Federal Court, and would
promise nothing that we could not COM
ply with; that we were citizens of the
United States and Of Tennessee, and had
a right to be protected; that most of
these men had come from distant
country, some thirty or forty miles from
home, to pursue and attack us; and that
we had plenty of ammunition and help
was coming. I further stated to the
gentlemen present that I called upon
them as magistrates and citizens to see
that we were protected and exercise
their authority, and dispense the mob.
They returned to Morgan, who said
he heard that Davis would kill him on
sight, and he did this to defend himself;
that if the Government had any process
to serve On him, and would give it to
any person to serve besides Davis, he
would promptly answer to it, and give
bond, and would use his influence to
correct the ways of his neighborhood,
and this should be his last shot, and
would make friends, and requested that
his men be allowed to pass the road on
their way home.
This proposition, of course, we had no
objection to, and his men, some sixty or
seventy, soon came out from their sta
tions and filed past, and went their way.
They looked like determined men, and
we know to our sorrow that they can
fight.
A number of persons had, by this time,
come in, and, under convoy, and with
the aid of the citizens of Cookeville, our
party reached Cookeville at shutdown,
and the second battle OF Waterloo was
over. I am, sir, very respectfully,

When We DemoraIize the Stomach

By excuses or imprudence in eating, we can
not hope to escape the consequences for any
great length of time. The most robust diges-
ton must succumb to abuses of that important
function. But, supposing that we have been
foolish enough to enfeeble the stomach a. is the
damage irreparable? BY no means. The dys-
peptic has only to do two things to insure his
ultimate recovery. First he should adopt an
easily digestible diet. Second, he should use
with regularity and persistence Hostetter 9
Stomach Bitters, the leading gastric invigorant
OF the age. The multiform symptoms OF dys-
pepsia, and the almost invariably attendant
disorders, biliousness and constipation, will
assuredly cease to persecute the sufferer, if the
above advice is attended to. Who that has
suffered the torments that chronic indigestion
inflicts will neglect to take advantage OF q
remedy which, If the most positive evidence OF
the medical profession and the public is to be
received with due credence, is an absolute spe-
ci6c for the com plaint.

A Tremendous Cave.

Some time ago Mr.. Nef, residing
near Alexandria, Huntingdon county,
this State, went to his we'll to get q
drink and found it dry. He then went
down into the we'll to make repairs, and
was much surprised to find not a pint of
water, and the bottom fallen out. A
cool breeze blew up strong enough to
rustic the leaves of tree standing near.
He tied a lantern to rope 100 feet long
and let it down, and, as the lantern still
burned he rightly concluded that the
air was pure. He then procured spliced
rope 800 feet in length, and to the end
attached basket containing lantern,
a dog and cat. He let them down,
striking bottom at POI feet. At the end
of six hours the basket was brought up.
The lantern was still burning, and the
only visible effect on the dog and the
cat was chilliness. The next day the
owner of the we'll, accompanied by a
trusty neighbor, Mr.. Lefford, descended
to the bottom. What was their surprise
to find an immense cave, stretching
miles and miles in every direction.
Stalagmites and stalactites of magnifi-
cent gorgeousness lent beauty and varie-
ty to the otherwise tomb-ike scene.
Here and there flowing stream of
water rippled, over stony beds, while
thousands and thousands of bats fut-
tered their clammy wings, surprised at
the intrusion of man. Petrifed sea
shells of hundred varieties strewed the
floor and protruded from the strata.
After spending ten or twelve hours of
continuous wandering, during which
time they penetrated beneath and be-
yond Alexandria, and discovered vein
of nickel ore and nugget Of metal re-
sembling anthony, they returned to the
surface, where their half-stricken wives
clasped them to their bosoms, thinking
they had been lost. It is supposed that
this cave is connected with those at War
rior ridge and Sinking valley, only few
miles away. Specimens of the nickel
ore have been sent to Philadelphia and
analysed, and pronounced superior to

Married a NegreSs.

The marriage of -blooded Bos-
ton aristocrat to one of the blacklist of
Chicago negresses has just come to
light and caused a sensation at the
Hub" Augustus G. Bartlett, whose
mother lives In an elegant residence in a
fashionable quarter of the city, visited
Chicago about 1872, and, falling sick,
was carefully nursed by Mrs. Martha
Kemp, the sable keeper Of his lodging
house, who was also the proprietress Of
a fourishing laundry. While conva-
lescing, in the depth of his gratitude,
Bartlett proposed to wed his benefactor.
She laughed at the absurdity, but her
prejudices were dissolved by the ardent
protestations of her lover, and the nup-
tails were celebrated. A beautiful boy
was born to then, but he died, and soon
after the husband started off on his
travels, ostensibly to seek work. Once
or twice when he got in tight places his
wife sent him money, but he finally de-
serted her and went to Boston. Wishing
to get rid of his unfortunate marriage
he sought divorce, and learned that,
according to the laws of Illinois, which
forbid the amalgamation of the races,
there was no marriage Mrs. Kemp has
followed him to Boston, however, and is
making it decidedly unpleasant for his
heightened relations, who think he must
have been crazy when he married her. -

An American Family Massacred in
Chilli.

Joseph Brewer, an American citizen,
resided for several years with his family
on the productive island of La Mocha,
at the mouth of the Tirual river, which he
had rented from the Chilian Govern
ment. This island is situated in lati-
tude 3S degrees % minutes, longitude 8
degrees % minutes, and Mr.. Brewer
was rapidly transforming it into valu-
able and productive farm. Several
varieties of wood, oils and fish were
abundant, and were exported and sold
not only in Chill, but throughout Peru
and South American countries. Two or
three vessels we're employed constantly
by Mr.. Brewer to carry on his business.
He had already imported from the Unit
ed States team-engines, sawmills, agri-
cultural implements and numerous other
elements of industry to cultivate the
land.
The island of La Mocha, which, be-
fore Mr.. Brewers arrival, was II wild
forest and filled with wild beasts, was
converted, through Mr.. Brewers en-
ergy, into an attractive garden. Mr..
Brewer was married to a very hand
some and accomplished American lady,
and was the father of two fine children.
Several months ago he went to Chloe
and engaged over 100 natives to work as
laborers in his hacienda. The article
of diet given to laborers throughout the
republic of Chill is a species of beans
which is very nutritious, and is grown
in abundance in the country. This was
the diet offered by Mr.. Brewer to his
men, but the latter were not pleased
with it, and demanded potatoes instead.
Mr.. Brewer told them he had none, and,
Of course, was not able to accommodate
them. The moo of native. barbarians
then became violent, and began furi-
GUS attack upon Mr.. Brewer and his de-
fenseless family.
He bravely fought for some time, de-
Tending the lives of his dear ones, but at
last, after killing thirteen of his assail.
ants, he fell victim with his family to
the unjust rage Of the assassins. They
then plundered the house and carried
off every valuable article they found on
the island. Selling one Of Mr.. Brow
er's vessels, they embarked and sailed
away for parts unknown.
The news of the terrible murder did
not reach the city of Chloe until some
days after, but the Governor Immediate
ly dispatched an armed vessel after the
assassins. The latter, however, had al.
ready made good their escape, and will
evade arrest altogether, unless the Gov
ernor of Chill sends man-of-war after
them.-Sant5ago paper.

What hidden woe can he so deep!
what utter grief can last so long!
Tho spring makes haste with step elatc
Your life and beauty to renew;
She even bids the roses walt,
And gives her first fond care TO you.

The rain braids diamonds in your hair /;
The breeze makes love to you at night,
Yet still you droop and still despair.

by lovers lips Is softly told
The tale that all the ages through
Has kept the world from growing old.
But STILL though April's buds unfold,
Or summer sets the earth alcaf,
Or autumn pranks your robes with gold,
You sway and sigh in graceful grief.
Mourn on forever, unconsoled,
And keep your secret, faithful tree;

A swcetcr grace than consistency.

OVER THE FENCE.

Il was shabby old mansion in a
shabby old thoroughfare, which had
been fashionable street in its day, but
was any thing else now. Grocery shops
and Junk shops had invaded it. The
square, white-painted, green-blinded
dwellings, with rallied roofs and pilas-
tered front doors, through which decor
GUS worthless in ruilles and bob.wigs had
once gone in and out, shorn of their
prestige now, and Invested of shining
knobs and knockers, were turned into
tenement-houses of the poorer sort.
Only the magnificent double row of
elms, which had been the glory OF the
street in its prime, remained intact to
deck its decadence. The towering splen-
dor of their green masses rustled in the
salt air now as then, but mournfulness
mingled with the rustic. Perhaps
who knows-the elms were sorry for
the deserted old street. 1t is not easy
always to fathom what lies at the heart

The shabby old mansion had belong
ed to General Wcsson, less conspicuous
in history than in the affections of his
townsfolk, who to do him honor had
called the street by his name-Wesson
Street. His residence, once the finest
in the neighborhood, had still this adj
vantage over its dilapidated compeers,
that it retained its old-time garden,
large square Enclosure laid out in formal
box-edged beds and walks. This gar
den had the odd appearance of having
sunk slightly during some convulsion of
nature, for its surface lay some five feet
below the level of the street, which had
been "filled in" 1t was walled on
three sides. Pecping over the low fence
which topped the wall, passer-by
could look down into the very heart of
Sooseberry bushes and peony clumps.
The wall itself was tangle of honey
suckle, ivy, and brier roses, and alto
gcthcr the garden had sweetness still,
thoagh its paths had run to weeds, and
lines of wet linen tapped over the rose,
