FREAKS ORA LUNATTO.

The Nashville american gives the par
ticula. Of some terrible freaks of re-
ligious monomaniac at Washington,
Rhea county. A man named Collins,
who had been a Catholic, joined the
Methodist Church and soon after show
ed symptoms of insanity. He first bap-
tized his children and drove his wife
from home, and then on Sunday morn
ing, went to the church and tore ND all
the books, saying ''the devil was in
them. After ridiAg off some distance
he concluded the devil was in his clothes
and tore them all of, and the account
goes on to say tHe now took up the
notion that Christ had directed him to
go into the church as he came into the
world With this belief he started in a
run in q state of nature for the church
He rushed through the town followed
by a multitude of excited people. On
nearing the church citizen attempted
to stop him and was knocked senseless
with a stone. Another attempted to
check his course, but was laid low with
/ the Indn1dC uSI. bAC6uLltu6 the cnurC0
doors had been closed against him. He
was finally overcome, bound with ropes
and sent to the Jail at Washington. He
was placed in cell aud left over night.
When the jailor went in to feed him,
Monday morning, he seemed to be
peaceably disposed. The jailor had
closed the door and was engaged in
locking it on the inside, when Collins
seized board about p feet in length
and struck him on the back of the head
telling him to the floor, after which he
beat his head literally into jelly. The
| jai or's wife becoming uneasy about hel
husbands long absence, went into the
Jail to see what had become OF him

the bottom of the stairway. COllinl
then ran back into his cell and locked
himself up with his dead victim. The
tragedy naturally caused a profound
! sensation in Rhea county.

Father Ryan was present on the occa-
sion of jefferson Davis meeting of the
Army of the Tennessee, at Mississippi
City, and made some remarks. The
New Orleans Times says: "The speaker
paid an eloquent tribute TO Mr.. Davis
worth, although expressing regret that
the unkindness of some has ut times
caused even the great to need the help
ing voice of the servant of Christ. He
defended him from his detractors, sta
ting the highest point of his career was
that marked by his great humility and
patience in misfortune. The first Wash
ington was right, and Mr.. Davis, the
second Washington, was right This
expression and another one-'Mr. Davis,

round after round of applause.

The following beautiful lines, by
Edgar A. Poe, addressed to Mrs. GLENN,
the mother of his sainted "Virginia, -
are not only human in their pathos, but
almost divine in their tenderness and
beauty:
Because feel that, in the Heavens above
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None SO devotional as that Of " Mother;
Therefore, by that dear name long have called
you
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed
you
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother-my own mother, who died eariy,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one loved SO dearly,
And thus dearer than the mother knew
By that inf1nity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.

A last WORD

n LdO4 WOAbOs
A last word to the honest and dis
passionate voters Of Hamblen coun'
ty. The election for judicial and
county officers takes place toner
row. Thursday. } August 1St. and we
call upon every elector to consider
the importance OF the ballot he con-
trolls. Hamblen county at no period
In her history has been in SO pros
porous a condition as At the present.
Financially. morally. socially and
materially the county is in a healthy
condition and progressing. Strang-
ers who come among US are pleased
with these indications OF prosperity,
and the unmistakable evidences OF
q future greatness OF population, bu-
Kiness and wealth. The subject of
immigration is one that interests US
all. There is not q citizen in the
county who is not interested in the
location here OF industrious, intelli-
gent men, capitalists to inaugurate
new industries in our midst or infnse
more spirit in mechanical and agri-
cultural competition. To these class:
es must we loolG-for aid to develop
ourrssOurces and make our town and
county what they should be. the
most eligible. beautiful and prosper
Gus places in the State. We want
men OF money and brains to help US.
How are We TO get them? One i'm
portant means Of accomplishing the
desired result is TO ELECT THE VERY
BEST AND MOST INTELLIGENT MEN'1E
THE COUNTY TO FILL COUNTY OFFICES.
The officials of q county are regard
ed as representative men, Intelli-
gent strangers who are in our midst
almost daily necessarily come in
contact with our county officers, and
Is the latter are good or bad men,
intelligent or ignorant meH, just 80
are strangers favorably or unfavora-
bly, pleased with the country. This
Ia q serious truth. known to every
obssrvant person. and we urge upon
the voters Of Hamblen county to re
member it when they come to cast
their votes next Thursday, and see
to It that intelligent. good represen-
tatiVe men are put in Office. We
have such men offering for the va
rious county Offices. and il any do
not know them. let an inquiry be in
stituted at once and acquaintance
with the good ones made. We want
intelligent. honest, sober, moral bu'
siness men in all our public offices.
Those who do not possess these
qualities should be left severely
alone. Voters who at the last mo-
ment, in the hurry and excitement
OF the election. make their choice.
almost always wish afterwards that
they had voted differently. Nor
should the most humble OF county
offices be carelessly filed; as much
mischief may be occasioned by bad
selection for Constable as by putting
the wrong man for Circuit Judge.
We repeat. II you are not personally
acquainted with the candidates. con-
verse with somebody who is. and act
accordingly. Vote in the best in
