and Mr.. Gilmer, who lived at Sceoba,
about 13 miles distant. My father sent
a message to them to surrender to the
Sheriff without him having to 20 after
them.
"My father told the Sheriff that he
preferred to remain at home with a
guard placed over him. The Sheriff
agreed to this, and selected guard OF
Democrats, and took him to little out
house, the door of which had no fast
enings, and the place was very damp
and cold finally my mother prevailed
on the Sheriff to allow him to come in
the house, as he was suffering much
from the asthma, and the other prison
ers and guard came in with him.
THE SLAUGHTER COMMENCED.
"Between ten and eleven o'clock the
Sheriff told him that the mob did not
think he was secure enough at home,
and that he must be taken to the jail.
He protested and asked who was Sher-
if, he or the mob. My father was then

our whole family going with him, and
also Mr.. Angus McClelland. A guard
was placed over him there, but they
soon beg to drop off, one by one. Mr..
Gilmsr aud Mr.. Rosenbaum arrived in
town about l o'clock, and went to the
house of Mr.. Rosenbaum's father, and
the Sheriff sent a deputy named Brit

Milk as Medicine.

Milk and lime water are now
frequently prescribed by ply sicians,
In cases of dyspepsia and weakness
OF the stomach, and in some cases
are said to prove beneficial. Many
persons who think good bread and
milk a great luxury, frequently hes
itate to eat it, for the reason that
milk will not digest readily; sour
ness of the stomach will often fol-
low. But experience proves that
lime water and milk are not only
food and medicine at an early peri
cd of life, but also at a later, when,
as in the case of infants, the func-
tions of digestion and assimilation
have been seriously impaired. A
stomach taxed by gluttony, irrita-
ted by improper food, infamed by
alcohol, enteebled by disease, or 9TH
erwise untitled for its duties, will
resume its work, and do it energet-
ically, on an exclusive diet of bread
and milk and lime water. A goblet
of cows milk may have four tea
spoonfuls of lime water added to it
with good effect. The way to make
lime water is simply to procure a
few Jumps OF unslaked lime, put the
lime in stone jar. add water till
the lime is slaked and of about the
consistency of thin cream; the lime
settles, leaving the pure and clear
lime water at the top. Great care
should Re taken not to get the lime
water too strong. Keep to the iii
rection as to the consistency, and
when the water rises pour it off
without obtaining any of the lime.

PLAGUE AND FAMINE.
A Terrible Tale Of Disaster and
Death in Brazil.

New York, Feb. IA Herald
letter from Brazil gives frightful
picture of the drought, famine and
pestilence raging in the Northern
portion OF that country for more
than year past. 1t is said to be
the greatest calamity in two hun
bred years. Half a million people
were swept away by starvation and
disease. Small pox and black
plague carried off their victims in
appalling numbers, and thousands
OF bodies were rotting in open
trenches at Lagoa Funda. Thou
sands of other corpses were torn
and devoured by wild animals, and
the starving peasants ate their own
offspring. Some places, including
the city of Cerea, have been depop-
ulated. In the terrible struggle
for life, children were abandoned
and the young souls sold for bread.
Thousands of living skeletons were
to be seen. Government aid was
tardy. The letter presents pictures
of woe, such as can scarcely be par
aIleled in history, except by the
siege of Jerusalem and the black
death, which devastated Europe in
the fourteenth century.

Sulphur for Diphtheria.

Mr.. John S. Wiles, a surgeon of
Tborncombe Dorset, writes to the
London Times that, after two cases
of malignant diPhtheria, out of some
nine or ten he had been called to
attend, had proved fatal, the moth.
er of a sick child showed him an
extract from an American paper
concerning practitioner who used
sulpher to cure the disease. Ac.
cordingly he used milk of sulphur
for infants and flour of sulphur for
larger children and adults, brought
to creamy consistence with gly
cerine; dose a teaspoonful or more,
according to age, three or four
times a day, swallowed slowly, and
application of the same to the nos
trils with a sponge. Result. he did
not lose single case there or else
where. and he succeeded in saving
life when the affection had almost
blocked the throat.

A Good Road Law.

Manchester Guardian: 1t seems
to us that the present Legislature
could accomplish something that
would be practical and of vast ben
eft to the State generally if il
would mature and adopt a new
public road system. Their atten-
lion has been repeatedly called to
the necessity Of better roads and
the defective working of the plan
now in use to obtain them. 1t is
useless now to argue the necessity
of radical change in the present
system, or, rather, entire lack of
system, and the adoption of some
practical, efficient plan by which we
could have country roads that
would at least be passable in the
winter. Here is an opportunity
for some member to render himself
extremely popular.

More Saving at the Spite"

A correspondent at Nashville
writes us that the Solons at the
Capital have cut down the salaries
about the State House TO the
amount of $6,4OO-the Governors
81 ,0C0; the Private Secretary $500;
the Superintendent of the Prison
$500; of Public Schools, $1,000; of
Agriculture and Mining $1,000; Of
Supt. Capitol 5000 and Secretary
of State $1,000
To balance accounts, they have
couple of committees that will
cost the State about $4,000. They
send Sergeant at Arms to summons
witnesses at $4 a day and$4 for every
twenty five miles that he travels
upon free passes we Supposed A
trip to summon witnesses from
Memphis costs about $50, just the
price of a State room on fine
steamer from New York to Liver
pool, and the witnesses get the
same.
All this investigation business is
humbug. Three committees of
previous legislatures did the same
thing and did not find tar on any
bOdy's heels. If there was any tar
there, the present Legislature won't
find it. They are not smart enough
to find anything if each heel they
were looking at had cake on il as
big as the hollow of a Negroes foot.
And all this comes from sending
men to represent the people who
are not fit for their places. That's
the English of it. When the peo-
pie learn better themselves they
will be in a much better fix than
they are now Gallatin Examiner.
How can you talk so? Surely
you don't mean all that, uncle Tom.

Duel in a Texas Ballroom.

ST. Louis Globe Dem. special;
Dallas, Feb. 3.-The particulars OF
the dreadful duel with knives in a
ball room at Cedar Hill are as fol
lows: Two young men, Samuel
Tomlinson and George McGregOr,
were at the ball, at which were col
lected young ladies and gentlemen
of the best society. Among the
dancers was Miss Burdett, engaged
to marry Tomlinson. Both he and
McGregor claimed Miss Burdett
for the next dance, and a quarrel
arose, but McGregor triumphantly
led the lady out on the floor. Tom
linson, enraged with jealousy, drew
a pocket knife and attacked his ri
val as he and the girl were swinging
corners. McGregor also drew his
knife, and a terrible fight ensued,
both being badly stabbed. The
ballroom floor ran with blood
Miss Burdett tainted. McG-egor
is thought to be fatally cut.

Retrenchment a Humbug.

The following communication
was written before the bill referred
to became a law.-COiumbia Senti-
mel.
Ii the bill introduced in the Sen
ate to fix salaries of all public Off
Gals is a specimen of retrenchment
and reform, then such retren chment
and reform is a humbug. The bill
introduced IN the House by Hon.
Jno. G. Lester, would bring direct
relief to the people, whereas the
Senate bull would only Cypress the
very class its advocates would have
the people believe they are seeking
to benefit.
There fees allowed by law which
are excessive and ought to be reduc-
ed. But is there any justice in
compelling destitute widows, help
less orphans and other unfortunate
persons to pay their costs (if it is so
excessive and oppressive) into
court, in order that all over a fixed
sum may be paid into the State
Treasury, there to be expended for
stamps, stationery, tissue paper,
etc, for members of the General
Assembly? | think other public
servants have to supply themselves
with such articles.
Would not Mr.. Testers bill
bring the desired relief? For in
stance: If seventy five cents is too
much (and it is) for clerk to re-
ceive for issuing a subpoena to an
swer, reduce it to fifty or twenty
five cents, if you choose, and let
the excess remain in the lItigants'
pocket where it justly belongs, and
so with all such fees as are exces-
sIve.
L am a public officer, and Mr..
Testers bill would affect my pay,
while the Senate bill permits me to
-etain as much or more than the
fees of my office amounts 70.
There are many destitute widows
and helpless orphans, whose in
comes are scant, not sufficient to
to such the clerks in my county
generally do2ate the costs; but if
the Senate bill becomes a law these
widows and orphans must pay in
order that all in excess of a fixed
sum may be paid into the State
Treasury. l would prefer to have
my fees reduced, poll tax increased,
and be taxed 30 cents instead of
10 cents on the one hundred dol
lars worth of property for State
purposes, than have the unfortu
mates pay for stamps, etc, for my
self or for the members OF the Gen
eral Assembly, or to have them pay
the State debt. A Clerk.

until the Speaker ordered the Clerk
to proceed with the calender. Mr..
SamsePs motion was then seconded
by Mr.. Crow; but Mr.. FOLLY and
Mr.. Savage both objected, and
there was the end of it.
In the House the sensation was
a resolution of censure and ridicule
against Rev. DR.. Il. A. Hoyt, that
gentleman having on Sunday preach
ed sermon from the teXt-l4th
chapter of Proverbs, verse "a:

sin is a reproach to any people," In
which he favored honesty in states as

In the mean time the following res

out of order:

Whereas, the discussion of such
absurd and outrageous PROPOSE

Southern Claims.

EDITOR CITIZEN You will con,
fer a great favor en- your readers
and friends and the writer to state
the following In the CITIZEN, as
there are many interested parties
writing me from Tenn. enquiring
about the prospect or possibility OF
collecting the claims against the
Government. / wish / could give
them assurance of an early settle
ment. But this l cannot do. There
will be no effort made this session
to pay these claims; many of them
will have to be adjudicated before
the Court of Claims. There will
likely be bin passed relieving Con
gress of all responsibility in the
measure, allowing claimants to 60
before the Court of Claims. Espec-
tally will this class be reached by
that decision of the Supreme Court
of the U. S. which says that the
fund covered into the Treasury, as
abandoned cotton and seized prop
erty, is held by the Govt as a trus-
tee, and cannot be used by the
Govt. This amount has all been
paid, it is said, save a residue OF
about fifteen millions. These are
just and loyal claims. But few
demagogues like Bragg of Wiscon-
sin, Hill of Georgia, and Chalmers
of Missisippi-the crack-brained,
foul-mouthed slanderers of the I'm
ion element o. the SOuth-are
against the payment of any and all
claims no matter how right, or of
whatever nature they be, although
the decision of the Supreme Court
protects the just right of the claim
ant. Randall says, so I've been
told by one that is responsible, that
he made up his committees with an
entire reference to defeating the
payment of all claims going south.
Blackburn of Kentucky Is now
aspiring to the Speakership, and the
latest record shows that he, too, is
against the measure.
So between the upper and neither
milestone of opposing demagogues,
the claimant is likely TO be ground
to powder, and justice utterly de
feated. At all events, no measure
of relief will be reached this session
by Congress. Respectfully,
EsTELLE VEHsE.
