TIKI REED grassy TRAGEDY. - Dispatches
from Atlanta, Ga, say:-Further details from
the Grasty Reed shooting ARRAY In Opelika
show that Grasty had received note from Miss
Reed On the evening of the shooting, telling
him that her father and brother were going to
attack him, and begging him as soon as he
could eat his supper to go to his room and re-
main there. She closed her note by begging
him TO Have LO fuss with father or sam, He
had this note In his hand when the father en-
tered the room. He had no pistol OF his own,
but carried an old pistol belonging to his land
lady to his room, ostensibly for the purpose Of
cleaning 1t. The whole affair is still enveloped
IN mystery. There Is no doubt that the Reeds
were very much enraged against Grasty, and
that there had been general talk about Grastys
intimacy With Miss Reed. These reports as.
sumed ugly shape during Miss Reeds residence
In Atlanta, but the courage Of the Reeds being
wen known, 1t is believed that Grasty satisfied
them that there was no truth in the rumorS
The ARRAY In Opelika revives all these rumors,
though it is believed IL they were the cause of
inc assault that the Reeds would have armed
themselves before seeking Grasty, as he Is a
very athletic and courageous man.

The Exception.

Our coun.ry's the home of the brave, as we
boast,
And likewise the land of the free;
And all the oppressed Of the nations-almost-
May land without fear on her continents
coast,
But never the heather Chinee.
We welcome the Celt from Erin's green isle,
And the Teuton from Yarmanee;
we smile,
And the Mennonite Russian who brings us his
pile,
But not on the heather Chinee.
With Africa's children we all sympathize,
Including the swart chimpanzee;
The tuneful Italian we know how to prize,
And Frenchman and Spaniard are dear to our
But not 80 the beathen Chinee.
Our Congress makes haste to obey the COM
mand
OF gold-bearing Califoruee;
And smart politicians ali over the land
Against the Mongolian have taken their stand,
And ruled out the heather Chinee.
Tis little, when votes they are eager to gain,
They care for solemn treatee;
The word that was plighted they treat with
disdain,
And national honor Is pleaded in vain
In behalf of the heather Chinee.
Our lives and our fortunes we freely would
stake
For the cause Of equalitee;
And yet for the mighty Caucasian's sake
An exception henceforth we are hidden to
make
OF the poor little heather Chinee.
The word has been spoken, the deed has been
done,
At the order of Dennis Kearnee;
A prejudiced few have the victory won,
And the land of the free is barred now to
none
Excepting the heather Chinee

POETRY.
why is it sos
By FATHER RYAN.


Some find work where some find rest,
And 90 the weary world goes on;
Sometimes wonder which is best,
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And 80 the weary night hours 60,
Some hearts beat where some hearts break;
often wonder why It's 50.
Some wills faint where some wills fight
Some love the tent and some the field;
often wonder who are right,
The ones who strive, or those who yield.
Some hands fold where other hands
are lifted bravely in the strife,
And 50 through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread
In tireless march thOrny way;
Some struggle on whCTs some have ned;
Some seek VIXEN others shun the fray.
Some swords rust where others clash,
Some fall back when some move on;
Some flags furl wh>re Others fab
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils OF the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above grave.

of the principal points in the north.
west, regarding packing operation and
stocks on hand. These points have
packed 6 1855, 600 hogs to date, and the
estimate for the season is 6 ,9lO, 900. The
packing at points not reported is esti-
mated at 555, GOO making the total
packing of the west AS, 900. The de-
crease in the average weight is estimat-
ed at ten pounds, which will reduce
the aggregate packing to 7, ,135, 900 hogs
Of last years average weight. The
yield of the lard varies considerably
and will probably not show much, il
any, reduction from last years. Stock
on hands at the points which have
packed $3.50, 900 hOgs is reported at
281, 900 barrels of mess pork $500 bar
rels of other kinds OF pork, 800, 900 tier

Notes and Comments.

Senator Oglesby's friends Ia Illinois
are trying TO give him boost for the
Presidency for 1880. These early
country suggestions for nominations
are very cheap.
Young Iowa Democrats are forming
Tilden clubs. This Was well thought
of. There are sofew Democrats In Iowa
that they cannot be heard of when the
racket OF a champaign begins.
Senator Bayard is said to have q
pocket full OF relatives in Rhode
Island. Delaware's twin dwarf, and he
is spoken Of az the only Democrat who
can make ''little Rhody" a doubtful
state as to the result of the next presi-
Dental election. -
The Deficiency bill Is ready to be re.
ported, amounting to 50, 50J, 900. Demo-
Gratis, OF course, will say this ought to
be dded to the amount which they
have saved the country. Others will
see the reverse side of the cut.
A Washington correspondent boldly
declares his belief that Wallace. OF
Pennsylvania, will be the next Presi-
dent. Wrong again. He ia, and will
be, only President ..of the Democratic
Campaign Committee, and will run the
cipher mill.
A Mississippian, who thought he un-
derstood the meshes of red tape, seEt
