flttsDurgh Leader.I
A gentleman we'll acquainted with
Colonel Realf, and an ardent admirer
Of his poetry, relates a story told by
him while the two spent a night in
conversation, criticism, and recollec-
tons, 50 dear to men of his kind, over
a cosy fire and warm decoctions. He
spoke of the night before the battle at
which General w. S. Lyle fell. The
two (Realf and Lytle). lay together in
the generals tent. They were both
given to writing poetry at such times,
and each had an unfinished poem on
hand, and they read and criticised
each others efforts humorously for
some time, when said Lytle:
Realf, | shall never live to finish
that poem
"' Nonsense said l, you will live
to write volumes of such stuff
GA feeling has suddenly come over
me, continued the general solemnly,
which is more startling than a prOph-
ecy, that shall be killed in to-mor-
rows fight. As | spoke to you | saw
the green hills of the Ohio as if /
stood among them. They began to
recede from me in a weird way, and as
they disappeared, the conviction
passed through me like the lightning's
shock that | would never see them
again
81 rallied him from his superstition
but the belief had become strangely
impressed upon his mind, and he sue
ceeded in so far thrilling me with his
own unnatural fear that | begged him
to finish his poem before he slept, that
such fine works might not be lost t.
the world.
I'm the small hours the genera
awoke me from a slumber into which
| had fallen, to read me that beauti
full poem, which must live as long al
our literature survives, beginning
at am dying, Egypt, dying,
Ebbs the crimson life blood fast.
my eyes filed with tears as h,
read. He said not a word as he con.
cluded, but placed the manuscript il
his pocket and lay down to sleep.
Before dawn came the call Il
arms. When | next saw poor Lytl,
he was cold in death among heaps o
slain. | thought of the poem, anc
searching the pocket where | had seel
|, him put it, drew it forth, and it wa
forwarded among other things to hi

ANNUAL MEETING
Of the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail-
road DireCtors---EleCtiOn Of Of.
fCers for the Ensuing
Year.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad, held in the gentlemen's parlor OF
the Peabody Hotel, yesterday, Colonel
Felix Labauve was elected chairman and
s. II. Lamb secretary.
The annual reports Of the president and
treasurer were not presented, as, owing to
prevalence of yellow fever, it was found
impossible to tell accurately what the
gross earnings of the road had been for the
past year. These reports will be prepared
in a few days.
Resolutions expressing sorrow for the
death of Captain A. L. Lacey, one of the
directors Of the railroad, were passed. An
election for directors was then held, with
the following result:
H. s. McComb, Wilmington, Del; 4
G. Walthall, Grenada, Miss A.. M. West
Holly Springs, Miss; Nat Howard, Gre
NADIA, Miss; f. NJ. White, Memphis
Tenn; Jos. w. Caldwell, Memphis, Tenn.
n. r. Sledge, Como, Miss r. p. Nicely
Bolivar, Tenn; John Robertson, DeSotC
county, Miss.
The directors of a subsequent meeting
elected officers as follows:
H. S. McComb, president, Wilmington

The LEDGER yester made mention Of
an unsuccessful effort TO bride Attorney
General Turner and the prompt manner
in which this officer rejected the bid upon
his character. In speaking of a much
needed reform, the LEDGER gave utter
ance to sentiments that have been mis-
construed, inssmuch as ex-Attorney-Gen-
0ral Luke Wright was of opinion that
such had reference to him. So far as the
LEDGER is concerned, nothing was pub
lished that was intended or could possibly
reflect upon the official character or per-
sonal integrity of General Wright. We
spoke of a much-needed reform, which is
now and has been wanting because of the
criminal law in its provisions regarding
official fees, etc. Whenever the LEDGER
sees fit to make remarks elating to pub
lie offices or public officials it will do
so. As to the author of the article, which
we regret has been misconstrued, it is pre-
sumed he will answer any personal de-
mands from the aggrieyed.

TO U MEN ONLY.
A Warning and a Good Suggestion
There are no Vacancies In
Memphis.

The LEDGER has more han once al
luded to the fact that Memphis is crowded
with young men and old men in search Of
work. As soon as the yellow fever epi-
demic was declared to be at an end, bust
ness men from every State in the Union
made their way to Memphis. These visi-
tors were in search Of business, and like
many others, believed that two-thirds Of
u citizens had died with the yellow fe-
yer. 1t was not unnatural hat they
should be disappointed in failing to
secure employment. Memphis is
~overstoeked with idle, yet meritorious
talent and excellent business ability.
1t is difficult, therefore, to get employ
ment here, although trade is active and
the outlook for business most encouraging.
Cotton and grocery houses, demanding as
a requisite qualification of employees, GER
tain experience, technical knowledge, in
tegrity Of character, etc, lind any number
of suitable persons ready to engage as
clerks, book-keepers, statesmen, travellers,
etc, at small salaries. Business houses in
other branches of trade are in the same
state-actually besieged by an army of
needy, though possibly meritorious appli-
cants. Our advice to young men, middle
aged men, old men, boys and youths, is to
stay at home. Do not come to Memphis
with the expectation of getting a situa-
ton. We cannot encourage any young
man or any old nan to come on such a
mission. The same state of affairs
exists in other cities, for the contraction
of business and the systematized method
of trade accomplished within the last year
or two have given an entirely different
feature to mercantile life and to mercan-
tile firms. The following letter is like
many received at the LEDGER office:
PITTsBURa, PA, November 18.-Local
| Editor LEDeER-Dear friend: Perhaps in
the long years that have rolled by, you
have almost forgotten Of the existence OF
such a person as the writer. But | wish
to make some inquiry as to the business Of
your city, as l am thinking very seriously
of visiting your city in search Of employ
ment. / am agood book-keeper, clerk or
salesman, and willing to do anything at
very low salary; and have plenty Of No.
recommendations. l am heartily dis
gusted with this bankrupt town, which is
Hooded with an army Of young men out
Of employment. NOwif you can give me
the least encouragement as to the chances
Of a wide-awake fellow finding anything

Use to see you in Memphis. If not toe
much tronble, l would be pleased TO hear
from you. Ever your friend,

FATAL SHOT,
John Hackett the Victim and George
App the Man Who Pulled
the Trigger.


At half-past twelve o'clock this morn
ing, John Hackett, a well-known shoe
maker, at S52 Second street, was shot and
fatally wounded by George App. The
difficulty occurred at Hackett's shop,
and was caused by a dispute which
arose about a pair of boots. The
pistol ball entered Haekett's abdo-
men, causing a wound that will prove
fatal. In a few minutes after the difficulty
Justice John f. Elliott was summoned to
the bed of the dying man and took 8
deposition.
Question-What is your name and occu-
patton?
Answer-My name is John Hackett,
and l am a shoemaker by trade l was
making a pair of boots for George App; he
came to my shop for them, and wanted to
take them away without paying for them,
and / refused to let him have them; he
pulled out the pistol and wanted to
take the boots BY force, and L tried
to prevent him; he took them pulled
me out to the hall and shot
me. 1t happened in building No. 35s
| Second street, city of Memphis, on the
Dist day of November, 1878. We were
! struggling for the possession of the boot:
at the time | was shot, he trying to take
them away, and / trying to hold them
We had no other dispute, only as above
stated. This is my dying declaration ]
firmly believe. JOHN HAoKETT.

Another AtrOciOus Outrage al
Detroit.


Cincinnati Commercial Special
A most horrible and brutal outrage
was committed at Detroit Saturday
evening, the victim of a brute being a
young and beautiful lady, niece of
Judge Lyman Cochrane, of the Supe-
rior Court of that city, of whose fam
lily she is an inmate. The young lady
had been spending the evening at the
house of a friend on Congress street,
one of the most aristocratic and fire.
%quently travelled thOroughfares in De-
troit, and about 9 o'clock started for
home. An escort was offered her, but,
owing to the early hour and the num-
Der of people on the streets, she de-
clined, thinking she could reach her
home without being molested. She
had gone but the length Of half a
block, however, when a man with a
masked face came suddenly behind
her, threw a heavy shawl around her
head, seized her in his arms, and bore
her into the yard Of the Detroit Loco
omotive Works, some distance awayon
another street. There he was beyond
detection, and although the poor girl
struggled vigorously, the beast sue.
ceeded in overpowering her, and
brutally tearing away her clothing
outraged her person. Not once, but
three times, possibly o%ftener, but the
victim becoming unconscious could
not tell what transpired after, She
was found by patrolman Krug nearly
two hours afterward, still senseless
her face covered with blood, and heI
neck black, where she had beer
choked by the %scoundrel. The office
conducted her to Woodbridge stree
police station, and subsequently haC
her conveyed home.
The girl is but nineteen, and ex.
ceedingiy delicate, and it is feared thu
assault and shock consequent Thereon
may result seriously. There is n,

Prison incident.

A very remarkable scene was pre-
sented in the Auburn prison, New
York, at an early hour on Tuesday
morning, when Marie Rose Mapleson,
the well known prima donna, visited
the institution and sang in the pres
ence of nearly all of its inmates, en-
bracing upward of 1900 conyicts. An
incident of this character has occurred
but once before, and that was on the
occasion of the visit of Jenny Lind.
A letter from one Of the gentlemen
present depicts the scene as extremely
touching. On the arrival of Marie
Rose she desired to know if all of the
prisoners were present, and being ans
wered in the negative by Keeper Wells
she requested that even those who
might be in solitary confinement
should, as a special privilege, be per-
mitted to come into the chapel and
Join the other %convicts in listening to
the music she proposed to sing. The
request was accorded, and the poor
fellows, some of them for the first
time in many years, were permitted not
only to look once more on the face
of a beautiful woman, but hear again
from an accomplished artist the
sweet notes that reminded them Of the
innocent days Of youth. The chief

of the letter states that even the most
hardened criminals were stirred to
tears. After this the fair cantatrice
made a tour Of the institution, the
prisoners meanwhile being retained in
the chapel, and on her return she
sang Comm Thro' the Rye" Mean.

which was duly signed and presented
