NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept 2O.-An
American special from Princeton, KY,
gives an account of the lynching last
night of Geo. Duncan (colored,) who
last Saturday attempted to outrage the
daughter of Hon. Wilson Pollard, on
visit from Eddyville. Pursuing parties,
after great trouble, caught the villain,
and ne was placed in jail at princeton.
Last night 100 mounted and well-armed
men entered the town by the Hopkins
vile Pike, and picketed the streets,
They then made demand on the Jailer
for the keys, but the Jailer had left, tax
ing them with him. The mob procured
tools from a blacksmith shop near by,
and a large piece of iron from a railroad
shop, which was used as ram. En-
trance was soon forced, and Duncan
quietly taken out, and the mob moved
off in the direction they came,

Nevada tCal.) Transcript
A daughter of Dan Newman, over at
Sierra Valley, captured the first prize at
last years Nevada State Fair for being
the best equestrienne. After the young
lady had been declared boss she
turned around and told the world at
large that she would just like to see some
body trot out something in the shape of
horsehesh that she couldn't ride, if they
thought she was sailing under false col
ors. The result is that although she has
since been on various animals that were
brought forward she has kept her seat
in every instance. Now there's a girl
that's good for something She can
bake cookies and bread and all such
things; darn stockings, make her own
dresses and do anything and everything
that makes her good housekeePer, and
when it comes to playing the pia no she is
no SLOUGH either.

L. Yellow Fever Imported.
From the New Orleans TimesJ


In DE Bows Review for Decem Der, 1853.
there is very careful and graphic account
OF the terrible yellow fever epidemic of that
year. not entering into any of the scientific
or speculative branches OF the question, but
continii itself strictly to a statistical and
historical review OF the visitation from its
beginning u Its end. The article possesses
especial value in having been written con-
poraneously with the epidemic itself
aud therefore at q time when all the state
ments could be verified and the facts eStab-
bliShed. With the more prominent features
of that memorable year our readers still
familiar The fearful havoc wrought by
the pestilence, the Undesirable suff-riDgs
of the living and the untold dissertation of
the dead-al these things are still SO sharp
ly i'm pressed upon memory that il is unne-
cessary to rehearse them Our object is TO all
attention to an Interesting table which is
given incidentally in the article, showing
mum Der OF cases and deaths from elbow
fever which occurred at the Charity Hos
pital from the year 1922 to lS49 inclusive.
The figures are perfectly authentic, having
been taken from the official records, which,
we presume, still exist, and can be- re-
ferred TO in proof of their accuracy. These
figures bear very Significantly upon the
proposition with which the writer preiaces
his remarks, to-wit; That il (the yellow
fever) originates here. no instance of its
ever having been imported being as yet well
proved.
The table, be it understood, represents
only the cases and deaths at the Charity
Hospital for the years respectively men

Eureka New Ledger.l
A tramp came into our office yesterday
and thus expressed his opinion of the
town: ga fellow don't have to do no
rustlin' here. not even enough to get up
an appetite. You tackle a house and
tell woman that you're hungry, and in
stead of running you off with broom,
unloosing watch dog or axing you to
chop some wood, she jist seems to feel
orful sorry for to think thot ybody kin
be hungry, and stuffs you full of the
best grub agoing, Why, I've had seven
meals to-day jist for the axing, an l
swear if stay here too long I'll get too
plump for the business"

THE PAss1ge OF TIE CLOUD.

There came cloud over yonder bill,
When the wind was muttering low.
Round and white as the sails that fill
When the Winds DER the ocean go.
And the skirts Of the cloud were snowy
white,
But the heart of the cloud was black;
And the sunshine fed, aud the trees in
fright
Murmured and bowed them back.
And the cruel North wind whistled shriII,
And the South wind sahbed inturn,
And the East wind shrieked, Come down

And the West wind sighed, ssReturn n

But swept over hill and plain;
The cIOund went BY In the broad blue sky,

4 DESIRE.
BY SUSAN NJ. sPALDING.

Let me not lay the lightest feathers weight
OF duty upon love Let not, my own,
The breath of one reluctant kiss be blown
Between our hearts. / would not be the
gate
That bars, like some memorable fate,
The portals of thy lite; that says, "Alone
Through me shall any joy to thee be
known"
Rather the window. fragrant early and late
Wirh thy sweet clinging thoughts, that
grow and Irvine
Around me, like some bright and bloom
ing vine:
Through which the sun shall shed his wealth
on thee
In golden showers; through which thou
Inay'st look out
Exulting in all beauty, without doubt,
Or fear, or shadow of regret from me.

gloomy looking structure which froWDsc down

Shepard, who escaped twice from It,, 1t was
filed with oil classes of criminals, and was
hotbed Of vice and immortality. Debtors, under
the barbarious law which punished debt by
Imprisonment, were kept there for years, and
some of the most eminent men 10 English his

Daniel Defoe. only known to the young as the
