chair-being shaved at the time-said:
skill him, John, kill him; he has shot
me-" Arnold ran out of the door to at
tack Holman, and Lowry, walking to the
cabin door, cooked his pistol and fired
ut Holman. At the same instant of
time, perceiwng DIR. Walker with pis-
toll in hand, he pointed his pistol at
Walker with deadly effect, Walker fall
ing and expiring almost without u
struggle. Lowry then walked back in
the cabin, staggering, and fell, and in
about two minutes expired also. In the
meantime Arnold and Holman were
fighting outside the cabin, Arnold re-
ceiving a wound in the chest, and died
shortly after being removed from the
boat, Col Holman being wounded in the
left arm and side, but to what extent
could not be ascertained, as the boat left
shortly afterward. The affair is deeply
regretted, as all the parties engaged are
very highly respected. DR.. Lowry was
brother of Gen. Robert Lowry, and
leaves widow and six children. Arnold
was brother of Judge Arnold, OF Co.
lumbus, Miss, Col. Holman being a
prominent and talented lawyer, and re-
spected in the community in which he
lives.
DR.. Walker was one of the Oldest resi-
dents of the county, and we believe had
no enemies. Col. Holman, the only sur
vivor, was Immediately arrested

A Rival to the Bicycle.

The newspaper carrier who serves
papers to the attendants in the Perma-
nent Exhibition building goes his
rounds at the rate of twelve miles an
hour. He travels on machines not un-
like roller-skates, which are called pedo-
motors, according to the inventor. The
day is not far distant, predicts the
Philadelphia Record, when the whole
city will be on wheels, when pedestri-
ans will be skimming through the
streets at the rate of ten miles an hour,
without more effort than is now put
forth in perambulating half that dis
lance.
The pedomotor consists of four tough,
light, wooden wheels, supplied with an
outer rim of tough india-rubber. These
wheels are secured to frame the shape
of the foot, which is strapped to the
pedal extremities in the usual manner.
Unlike roller skates, the wheels of these
little vehicles are not under, but are

A Mississippi ShOOting.Bee.

In the annals of deadly ARRAYS in this
State we know Of no occurrence so fatal
in its results as that which occurred on
board the steamer Sunfower, while
lying at Johnsonville, the county seat OF
Sunfower county. The particulars, as
near as we can gather them, are about
as follows: About ten days ago Col. ID.
A. Holman, while In Jacksonville, on
entering DIR. w. l.. Lowry's store, was
accosted by DR.. Lowry, who ordered
Holman ont, remarking, it is said, that
Holman was no gentleman, and did not
keep his word, or something to that
effect. Holman departed, saying in sub
stance that he would see Lowry again.
On the morning of the affair Col. Hol-
man engaged passage on the steamer
Sunfower for Vicksburg, accompanied
by his father-in-law, DIR. G.. G. Walker.
The boat arrived at Jacksonville some
what earlier than usual, and Col. Hol-
man and DR.. Walker together went on
shore, but in short time returned.
Perhaps a half hour later, DR.. Lowry, as
was usual with him, came on the boat to
transact his business, and, while enter
ing the cabin, was caught, so it is said,
by the left arm or back, by Col. Hol-
man, who turned Lowry half way
around, and, putting his pistol to his
breast, fired. Lowry started down the
cabin, but instantly turned, and, seeing
his clerk, John @. Arnold, start from his

Seen by the sailors out at sea,
With great storms measuring all my length,
Making my mighty minstrelsy,
Companion of II q ancient weather.
Yoursi Just as much the stars that shiver
When the frost sparkles overhead
Gall yours as soon those vieyless airs
That sing in the clear vault, and tread
The clouds Less yours than theirs

In the prlmeva] depths. empowering

Az, even in those elder years
The eagle building in my tops,
Along my boughs the panther covering.
Beneath my shade the red man slipping,
Himself a shadow, stole away;
A paler shadow follows himi
Races may go, or races may stay,
The cones upon my loftest limb
The winds will many year be stripping!
And there the hidden day be throwing
His fires, though dark the dead prime be,
Before the birds shake off the dew.

What songs will yot be sung when You
Are dust upon the four winds blowing!

Cause of the Zulu War.

The Zulu war has sprung from dis
pute over the boundary between the
Transvaal and Zululand and various
depredations on the borders by Cetywayo,
King of the Zulyls. The boundary was
settled by arbitration last year, and in
the award Sir Bartle Frere, after re-
captivating all that had previously oc-
Cured in connection Herewith, decided
that in future the boundary is to be the
Pongolo on the north to its source, and
the Bloed river from its sourcr to its
junction with the Tugela at Rorke's
drift on the east. The small line OF
country between the sources of these
two rivers is to be surveyed and marked
off in straight line from one to the
other. The award ends with a declara-
tion-very distinct and peremptory-
that any intrusion over these bounds on
the part of any of the Zulu tribes will
be deemed an act hostile to the British
Government, and one for which Getty
wayo shall be held responsible. Hostile
demonstrations having continued on
the frontier, an ultimatum was sent to
Cetywayo through Sir Henry Bulwar
Lieutenant Governor of Natal, in De-
cember last
Thirty days were given for a response
tn the British demands at the end OF
which (about Jan. II they were rejected
and Cetawayo assembled 5000 fighting
men on the border. The total strength
of his fighting force is said to be about
1900 men. The forces under Lord
Chelmsford number about 5000 or 7,00t
men.

FAREWELL.

The west wind, laden with fragrance, blows;
The dewdrops shine In the crimson rose;
Is there something yet to telly
Ay, winds must pass, and dewdrops fall;
Naught that is gone eau we recall;
SO now, dear love, FAREWELL
Sweet lips prattle and laugh and sing;
White arms tenderly, closely cling;
IL there something sad 10 telli
Ay, the sweet lips shall silent be,
And the arms unclasp in their agony;
So now, dear love, farewell
Then il there nothing that God has made
That will not one day fall or fade!
O, poet, in mercy tell
Az, love shall reign in these hearts Of ours,
When eyes and lips and wind-wsved flowers
Have known their last farewell.
For love is purer than dewdrops are;
The winds go never so wide or far;
And none may truly tell
How when the close caress Is gone,
And words are silent. true love lives on,
Never 10 say farewell

A Naval Cadet In Disgrace.

At the semi-annual examination OF
the cadet midshipmen at the Naval
Academy, recently closed, one of the
cadets of the second class asked permits
sion to leave the room, and, while out
it is said, he secreted book, with which
he was assisted in the examination.
Some of his classmates, in view of the
oath administered to all on such occa-
sions, "not to seek, receive or give as
sistance from any quarter whatever on
learning of the action of the cadet, were
very indignant at his conduct, and it is
understood the class will request the
young man to resign at once and there
by save the dishonor attending his dis
missal should the authorities hear OF
the matter. The cadet is from New
York State.

placed on each side of the foot, thus
giving the wearer good standing, as
well as q solid footing. The rear wheels
are o inches in diameter, while those in
front are but % inches. This gives the
foot slight incline, and when in mo-
ton has much to do in impelling the
pedestrian forward. Extending from
the toe, with slight cui toward the
ground, is piece OF casting termed the
pusher, which is simply used in mount
ing an elevation or steep incline. From
the center of the heel small brass
wheel extends backward, serving as a
guide as well as brake. The whole
scarcely turns the scale at pound
weight. In using them, no more effort
is required than in ordinary walking.
The wearer steps with his regular stride,
and is amazed to find himself skimming
over the ground SO rapidly with so little
muscular effort. Mr.. Hobbs, the in
ventor, explains the mystery of the
rapid movement in this manner: A
man whose stride is 80 inches will ira
verse 48 inches, or one-half further,
with the pedomotor. This is because
the body is in constant motion. For
instance, says he, the traveller starts,
and while he raises one foot to step he
continues rapidly onward until that
foot is set down and the other raised to
make another step. This gives him
more momentum and away he goes over
the two miles in the time taken to ac-
complish mile with the feet. No eff
fort of the body is required for their
use, as in skates. The traveller simply
puts one foot before the other, and finds
himself whizzed along at lively rate

The vote on passing the army bill over

bill failed for want of two.thirds vote.

and the sea voyage will accomplish all
that is hoped from them, and that he will

WEDNESDAY, MAY z. 1879.


The House failed to pass the army bill
over tho veto, the vote being 120 to 1lO
not the necessary two-thirds. The
democrats then went about holding eau
cuses with great oaths to preserve secrecy
and other great oaths to express their
feelings.
They have, however, succeeded in FORE
going the asinine project of sticking
and have reported and passed through the
House separate bill to prevent military
interference at elections" This bill they
are of course in hopes will let them down
easily, and they have succeeded in getting
the republicans to oppose it because of a
pretended cat in the meal.
No doubt the bill is so worded us to
possibly raise question rs to the use of
the army by the president in other than
election matters but it is not such a won
derfully terrible bill rs some republicans
would have us believe. The worst thing
about it is it shows the animus of the
crowd that passed it. No doubt republicans
in congress acted wisely enough in voting
against it, but we have just as little doubt
that the president will wisely sign it. The
veto power is 20 be most carefully exercis-
ell and this bill so nearly removes his
objections rs stated in the veto message
that we look to see it signed.
In republican caucus Col. Joyce offer
ed sticking" resolution which wasn't
passed. Mr.. Edmunds opposed the bill
and he and Mr.. Frye got upa substitute
which was better but which the House of
course rejected.
Just in the following paths lie the dan
gers to the two great parties. The coun-
try rs Il whole is for the Union and never
more so than now. Even the New York
Sun does not hesitate to prescribe " loyal
ty" past present and future, rs an indis-
pensable requisite in any man who is to be
elected president. The trend" of the
democratic congressional leaders is away
from this idea, it is towards the glorifca-
ton of southern ideas and actions, towards
the exatation of state rights and the sub
lection of federal rights. Let these fellows
alone and they'll come home next year
minus any great tail of followers in the
north. On the other hand hundreds of
thousands of voters in the north who are
for the Union are not particularly engaged
in coddling every partisan freak of the
republican party-they hated the corrupt
carpet bag governments at the south and
their maintenance by power. These voters
though it may be very wrong and fool
ish in them-are not educated up to voting
the republican ticket whether or no every
time. They may be too confident that the
Union is fixed beyond the power of the
relics of past struggle to injure it but
they are confident. They will punish any
attempt to seriously cripple the power of
the general government if they are not
offended by actions of the republican party
that look more towards satisfying party
will than towards the general good. The
party that helps get congress home as
soon as possible stands the best chance for
carrying the north solid.

War in South America,

Some Of the South American republics
have taken it into their heads that for theil
profit and glory n war with each other will
be a good thing. The result is that Chill
has declared war against Bolivia and Peru
and is blockading the ports of the two last
named nations.
There has for years been dispute be-
tween Chill and Bolivia over their bounda.
ries and not long ago treaty was made
which was to settle the matter between
them and which made n neutral belt o
two degrees of latitude between them
the land lying between parallels TWEEN.
ty-two and twenty-four. In this belt the
Chilians were not to be taxed by the
Bolivians.
But in running the lines the region was
found to have valuable deposits-ntrate
of soda we believe and Chilans went to
work getting it out. The Bolivians found
this interfered with their revenue for they
hal an export duty on the same sort OF
stuff found in Bolivia and of course the
new found deposit which could be exported
without duty killed the market for tn G
Bolivian article.
This desert country which had been in
dispute and deemed worthless was also by
the surveyors found to contain a streak o.
the same kind of rock as the flmous mines
OF Potosi and doubtless this helped to give
Bolivia II notion that Chill had best oct
out of the neutral belt.
Chill meanwhile was having trouble
with the Argentine Republic so Bolivia
took the opportunity to lay tax or
Chlians in the neutral ground.
Immediately however it came out that
Chill had settled matters with the Arpen.
tine Republic and had her iron clad fleet
in good trim, the latter having lust col
home from England, where it had been
repaired. That being the case Chill at
once declared war on Bolivia and Peru
which had aided and abetted Bolivia in
the movements hostile 10 Chilli. There is
great excitement in these three countries
but the coming fight will not get itself
into very great dimensions-the contend
ing nations are not big enough.
