Judge Lynch Defeated.

A six-year-old daughter of Daniel Crisman, prominent citizen of Will iamson county, Tenn, was on Friday returning home by road leading through thicket, when Calvin Beatty, big, heavy-set mulatto, aged eighteen, seized her, dragged her into the bushes, and outraged her person in the most horrible manner. He was arrested on Saturday and was fully identified by the girl as well as by dog that was with him, and by persons who had seen him hanging about Crisman's premises. He was taken to Franklin and jailed. The iailor had cause for the belief that he might be lynched, and for several nights kept the jail guarded. No attempt hav- ing been made at lynching, his suspi- cions were lulled and the guard dis. missed at eleven at night, promising to send two guards, however, in theil place. An hour afterward the tramp o1 15O horses was heard, and then came g knock upon his door. "Who's there ? asked the jailor. GA friend" was softly replied. "What do you want?" asked the iailor. "We've come for Calvi1 Beatty, and we intend to have him. w don't want to frighten you or harm you we are aware of your position and re spect it. Just quietly give us the key and stay in your room"
 "You can't get my keys. I will dit before I will give them up,' said thu iailor.
 "Knock down the door," said a ma1 in an undertone, and it was done. Thre men rushed into the hall through tn breach, when the jailor's wife met them exclaiming, "Oh, gentlemen, just con slder what terrible thing you are doin' before going any further" Said they " Madam, we took the whole matter int consideration before leaving our homes Our minds are made up now" The then passed into the jail, knocked o1 the lock to Beatty's cell, told Beatty h was wanted, and pushed him along ou of the door and took him away. Tn next morning halter. with a moose was found, but it was not tied to tree Underneath were many tracks of horses but no signs of Beatty. The mob al tempted to hang Beatty, but he ran was fired on, badly wounded, but eE capped, and is now in custody of the off cers. Beatty asserts his innocence.

 The Grand Central Hotel, New York.
 HAL JASON" writes of a recent visit to the Grand Central Hotel, as follows
 Dnring the Winter without disturbing the guests, flesh decorations have been added in every direction. New designs in Fresco work have been finished throughout the halls, parlors, principal staircase, grand dining room and ex- changes. Standing in the rear of the grand exchange, facing Broadway, the tout ensemble is magnificent -unrfvalled in Europe or Amer ica. The floor spreads. out before you like a lake of marble, an entire block in length and many feet in width. Above, the richly frescoed ceiling Is supported by dozen or more carved Corinthian columns, while the massive sus- pended chandeliers gleam at night like a sheen with the glimmer of a hundred white globes of light Wander where you will all is in keep ing with taste and beauty The Grand Central is hardly approached in style and appointment by any other hotel in New York, and yet its rates are from one to two dollars less than other frst-class hotels being $500 $3.50 and $4.00 per day, MT. Powers, its proprietor, seems to have solved, perfectly, for the public, the problem of moderate rates and luurious surroundings.

communities, and IS apt to teach d1shon-
 esty in dealings among men, extrava-
 gancesin living, for money gained in a
 dishonest way is very apt to be spent
 extravagantly. Some men fabulously
 rich in time of war, while some lose all
 and become poor, the latter, as 8 body,
 being generally the more honest; and manyawho were financially ruined by the late rebellion have found it difficult to recuperate. Driven to seek new occu- pations and new homes, from want of success and sometimes diseased mind brought on by their trouble, they be- come in time wanderers, or what may be called tramps in the first stage. Some have struggled hard with diversity, but for want of means to keep themselves up, for want of employment of mind and body, have kept going from bad to worse, and becoming entirely disheart- ened, have lost all ambition, then self respect, then in a semi-insane state of mind, actually self-control, and have gone inevitably to the bad. The ten dency of human nature and particularly of the American character, is to hide misfortunes and troubles of all kinds from friends, and sail under false colors. In great many cases, if men would be honest, and show the true state of affairs when their troubles begin, they might be saved from ruin in fortune and mind, but it is in many cases otherwise. Some, in order to save themselves, become de. faulters, some embezzlers, some drunk ards, some rolling stones, wanderers and tramps, some commit suicide. Itis often the case that men, when they get in trouble of any kind, even if no stigms is attached to it, have desire to shur friends, to wander, to seek new faces

SOMETHING ABOUT RECENT ABSURD RUMOR.
The Buffalo Express says:
We do not believe the rumor that ole
Beaconstield hopes to win the widow OF
Prince Albert. It is true that Victoria's
business affairs are great complicated ;
but Beaconsfeld has one foot in the grave
and has hard work to keep the other in q
safe place. We remember, too, CONVEX.
sation with the lady not long since, which
shows conclusively that she entertains NO
such ridiculous idea.
esyich / think it's absurd" she said,
shaking her royal head nlaliciously. "Vy
the mans seventy-five il 'e's day, and 'erc
am right in my prime. Hold enough to
be my father, and / 'aven't reached my one
and-fortieth year yet. Oh, get along with
YOU, get along! / almost wish / wasn't q
Hempress."
"But, your Majesty" we said respectful
~, "men have been known to live great
many years, and ITO die at that only under
protest. There was Mr.. Methuselah."
"Vich l wish you wouldn't talk to me in
that MANNER" replied her Majesty, indus
friously arranging spit-curl with some
what trembling hands. 'sYou hagitates me,
sir. know that my affairs needs the atten-
ton Of businessman, and that can't at
tend to them myself. / know that Halbert
Hedward is a mere boy and not to be trust
ed. know that I needs protector ven l

o. nights. know Pm iorlorn woman yich
is identified to the sympathies OF the world.
But old Beaconstield never can't think of
nohow, and so I tell you. Beaconsfeld, sir,
aDhor!"
We should think this ought to settle the
absurd rumor now going the rounds. We
do assure the reader that as her Majesty
spoke the tears stood out in her royal eyes,
and she was evidently in such q state OF
mind that Mysteries would not have been
surprising.
"And them" she added after q moment,
"marriages is lottery for the most part.
do not go to deny. sir, that Halbert He'd
ward was extraordinarily fortunate in his

pose to tell her that her wisdom was doubt
less all that was necessary to the occasion,
