THE republican party has at last be-
come once more what it should never
have ceased to be, a stalwart party.
There is no longer any cant about harm
onizing and tranquilizing and concili-
ating the south. The section to be
conciliated now is the north. The
sweeping change in public sentiment
is apparent in the comments on the
course which it is alleged the president
proposes to take on the repeal Of the
election laws. From every quarter
goes up a protest and q demand that he
shall not yield the position assumed by
the republican members of congress,
but positively refuse to compromise
with wrong.

Mrs. Wilcox was present at the

never to be forgotten. He babe them
all adieu in the tenderest terms and
enjoined them, old and young, white

All were in tears, and when he had
breathed his last the outburst of grief
was irrepressible. The congregation
at the little Presbyterian church on
the plantation, which the general

the morning service over, came flock
ing to the mansion as his eyes were
closing and added their bewailment to
the general sorrow. Shortly after this
mournful event Mrs. w. encountered
an old servant in the kitchen who was
sobbing as though her heart would
break, "Ole missus is gone" she
brokenly said to the child, "and now

A TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Young Man Killed by a Runaway Mule.

Jackson Tribune and Sun, lSth.l
On last Tuesday evening, during the
thunderstorm, a most heartrending
occurrence took place on the farm oil
Mrs. NOoner, near Pinson. in this
county. A young nan by the name
of Newton Vantreese, who was re-
siding on the place, was blowing, but
observing the threatening appearance
of the clouds, concluded to unhitch
his mule from the pillow and ride him
to the house. But the storm was fast
approaching. and before he reached
the house it bursted upon him with
all its fury. As we understand
it, he had to pass through q grove
before entering the lane leading
up to the house. Just as he was
riding through this little piece Of
timber, his mule (still wearing its
gearing) became frightened at the loud
reports of thunder, began rearing and
plunging in the widest manner, and
soon threw its rider, but in the fall
Mr.. Mattresses foot became entangled
in the gearing. The mule then began
running, dragging and kicking as it
went the helpless young man. 1t ran
through the woods and out into the
mouth of a lane, along which it con-
tinued until near a bridge on the
Pinson road, when il became worse
frightened, and turning, ran nearly
half way back, where it stopped, and
then, as if inspired by the angry Gle
ments, began stamping and kicking
and biting the dead aud mangled body
of young Vantreese! By this time
assistance a%rrived-and the parties de-
scribe the mule as being perfectly
wild with frenzy-on the terrible
scene. Tbs body that a few moments
before represented health and activity.
was now a blackened and bleeding
mass of flesh, SO as to be hardly rccog-
nized. 1t is not known whether he
was killed outright in the race. or was
stamped to death by the vicious ami,
NAL. Certainly it has not been our
painful duty to chronicle a sadder or
more terrible death than this.
Mr.. Hantreese was about twenty-five
years Of age, and we believe had spent
most Of his life in that section. He
bore a good name where he was
known, and leaves many friends Ia
deplOre his horrible death.

ing children, and she Is so
full of sweetness and delicate
feeling that her pupils cannot but love
her. She can accomplish what many
a younger person could not do. for her
health is perfect She can sleep in a
railroad train or in a strange bed as
contentedly as a child; she does not
know what a headache is; she has
never been i'll in her life, except that
she once had an attack Of the cholera.
A magnificent constitution, inherited
from her father, who was merry and

death at an advanced age, must be, of
course, the foundation Of this admira-
Bile health but those who lead the
sedentary life of the city would do
we'll to consider how far the habit of
exercise has helped to produce it.
Partly, perhaps, her interest in all
about her arises, as she has expressed
it, from the fact that her study was so
incessaht in her early youth that very
much of what young people are wearid
of is quite fresh and novel to her.
Her general education was carried on,
Notwithstanding her special study; but
she had to sacrifice many amusementS,
and, above all, the study Of music, for
which she had great taste. Her keen
sensitiveness to tie meaning and
of music mas had much to do
