not know how to get at it, from the

potent instrument for good, the press,
to smell this thing out for US, When
white men are guilty Of such things

Mr.. j. i. Holcombe, a gentleman
of Kentucky, but who has been in
Crittenden county, this State, for sew
eral months, tells us of a rather re-
markable, though hardly unprece-
dented matrimonial affair, which
occurred in that county recently:
Out from the line of the railroad
and aside from almost any other very
well defined mark of civilization
marks so ill-delineated in fact, that
they are as an half-worn date on an
ancient coin-there lived old man
Rosebury and two sons, twins. The
age of the old man is rather doubtful.
but it is believed by his near neigh
bors, the nearest of whom are within
a stones throw, that is, if the stone
be thrown a mile and a half, that he Is

say, the daughters were not twins
at the time of their birth, and have
not yet succeeded in attaining that
point. MIR. Rosebury fell deeply in
love with Mrs. Glenn, and the two sons.
Robert and John, fell equally as much
50 with the two daughters, Mary and
Rachel. The most imaginable whole
sale lovermakiS ensued. The old
man and widow seemed devoted TO
each other, and the younger people
we're sufficiently so to marry, which
they all did on the same day. After
tho ceremony the six happy souls and
the six happy bodies repaired to the
residence of the husbands. Every
thing worked smoothly. The old man
was very kind to his newly made
daughters, particularly SO to Rachel,
the wife af his son John. The kind
ness increased and the other matrimo-
n%lalists marveled. one to another. The
old man disregarded the wishes of his
wife, and Rachel snuffed her Grecian
nose at her Roman nosed husband.
One morning about two weeks after
the marriage, the family of several
divisions, discovered that the old man
and hachel had gone. Searching and
MOI being able to find them, but learn
ing from a ferryman that they had
crossed the river into Tennessee, the
family returned, Pretty soon an in

broad experience that Robert never
grew tired of pro6ting by her counsel.

blind, that they were Jolt alone, clasped
themselves in d loving embrace, for il

1t is with pain we learn o fthe death
of little Katie, infant daughter of
Captain and Mrs. w. j. McDermott,
of this city. Her gentle spirit took
its fight from earth last Tuesday, the
18th instant, at Barrie, Ontario, with
er she had been carried in the hope Of
preserving her life. The parents have
our deepest sympathy in their distress.
Little Katie was as beautiful and
bright a baby as we ever knew.
We regret to learn that Mary Ceres
Cannon, the little daughter, only seven
years old, of Deputy Sheriff VIM. d.
Cannon, at Wilson Station, on the
Memphis and Charleston railroad, died
suddenly of congestion, which fol-
lowed a slight chill, at one o'clock
yesterday morning. The little one
was their Oldest and their pride, a
bright, beautiful child, the fayorite Of
all who knew her. The serious nature
of her illness was not developed until
a short time before she passed away.
The funeral yesterday was largely
attended. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy Of their many friends
and acquaintance.

A lighthouse keeper near the
mouth Of the Potomac has devised an
ingenious plan for the slaughter of the
dWckg and geese which light on a
small bar rear his station, He has a
battery of twelve muskets firmly
fastened to two heavy timbers, six
above and six below these are
heavily loaded and connected with the
lighthouse by a long wire cable. AS
soon as he sees geese neal enough he
pubs his cable and explodes all the
guns at once, and then takes his
skiff and picks up the game. One
shot this season gave him thisiy- seven

George Wallace, a black scoundrel,
who has a little money among Front
street merchants, while selling vegeta-
bles from a wagon insulted a lady in
South Memphis very grossly. The
lady's husband went on a war hunt
for the dirty Niger, but officer Jenny
ran across his bow first and landed
him in the lookup, His friends
put up twenty-five dollars forfeit
and let him out. This morning DR..
Porter fined him $40. He paid the
fine and went free. The insultedlady
appeared against the fellow, and shed
tears while giving her testimony. A
good trouncing would have been a fair
reward for the insulting Walker
olfense. People should look out for
the filthy George Walker, who drives
a vegetable wagon.

The address Of Colonel Josiah Patter-

Brothers College, at the Memphis Thea
ter on last Friday evening, made a deep
impression on.all his hearers. 1t was an
effort alike remarkable for correctness of
views, eloquence and rare ability. The
address was published in full in Satur-
days Appeal, and such was the demand
for copies of the address that toward noon
hardly a single copy Of the paper could
be found for sale at any place in the city.
The demand for copies Of this remarkable
address was SO great that tho Christian

should secure a copy and study it most
carefully, US it is suggestive Of all that is
essential to promote success and happi.
