Quoted a beautiful young girl, claiming
her as his OWE, and calling upon the
guardian to protect him from the fury OF
a number of relatives and the %popuiace
who had followed. The magistrate or.

tives and populace, but the latter resist.

trste assured them no harm should befell
the girl until the matter could be looked

prevented much bloodshed, as the peo.

manhood within their breasts. Sat.
lshed, however, that no immediate
harm could befall her, the people
withdrew and dispatched a messenger
for her father. Though absent from the
city a short distance he was found aud
acquainted with what bad occurred. His
anger was terrible. Rushing back to the

female witness swore the girl was her
own, having been born to her in slave
times. The father eontemptuously de.
MED this. The two faces, one coarse
aud yellow, the other refued, fair and
beautiful, should be sufficient proof of
the falsity of her charge. Such a bad

magistrate decreed otherwise, basing his
decision upon the fact that at all times
and in all places a mother has a right to
take her child" Realizing thatthe must

knife and thrust its sharp blade into her
bosom, the Mortified spectators being
unable to interfere. He then walked
from the scene unmolested."
There was a similar tragedy in Mem.

crowd of spectators came within an inch
of lynching the villainous magistrate,

that he got dead some how before they
