On Thtrodny of last week, Mrs
q. E< BuDtiH, who lives with her
husband four miles North of Stark
vile, was the heroine of q most re.
marAatJie adventure which is . bold
illustration of female courage and
maternal affection. The facts
briefly stated, az related to us, are
as follows:
Mrs. Buntin's little three year
old child WAS out in the yard play
ing alrd finally went TO the cistern
and commenced playing with the
water, which was only about ten
feet from the top of the cistern, by
throwing in sticks to see it ripple
and wave. The baby leaned too far
and fell in. Mrs. Buntin discover

life and leaped ia the cisteru to res

She gave several shrieka. how,

scene, they found Mrs. Buntin, in

The Republican managers pro-
pose to open the third term cam

Francisco to meet tho retaining
Uly sses. This exeursDn is to con-
sist of $4,000 '.stalwartr Republic
cans, and every congressional dis
trist in the Union is 70 have a dele
CATION in the excursion. 1t is an
nOuncet that the round "trip from all
points east will not cost over @25
apiece, and ON this estimate, the
said managers are anticipating big
time. The idea is to give Grant a
sort of "triumph," like that INDUCED
in, in olien times, by the Roman
conqurrors,. SO rs to impress the
people in advance with his immense
and overwhelming popularity.
Then they think It will he an easy
thing to rush him into the Presi
dency.
But it is to be hoped that the free
and independent citizens OF this
Republic are not altogether idiOts,
They have read end heard enough
about Grant sDd the schemes Of the
Republican party to put them on
their guard against deception, and
We think they viii take means to
prevent this "triumph' from result
ing in ANYTHING more serious than a
pleasant trip across the plains and
back. For our part we are perfectly
willing that these 80, 900 ''stafwarts"
shall have their fun, knowing that
the people are entirely too INTEL
igent to be imposed upon in that
way. The scheme is such q thin
one that the crudest mind can pene-
tIate it at once.
Mr.. Grant is no Roman conqueror,
returning from abroad, with his tro-
pixies and prisoners. but simple
American ci izen coming back from
q journey around the world. Let
him be received quietly AID decent-

Meridian Mercury On Wednes-

was taken from custody AMI shot to
death by crowd of lynehers. His
name was w. d. Maddox, a preach
er. That day he had gone TO the
residence of Mr.. T. FL. Hampton
during his absence, and made q
demonsti alton upon the lady, whom
he found alone, which she resisted
by firing two pistol shots at him,
which caused the lecherous villain
to desist and run for his worthless
life he was soon to lose, The lady
saved herself from outrage and,
probably death. by her presence of
mind and cool courage. An alarm
was made, the negro pursued and
captured, and it happened as above

Foolish Talk from = Northern Man.
After q struggle Of eighteen years
in war and politics, the COnfederacy
have at last captured the capital
I Washington Republican.
Yes, thank God, We have captured
the capital, and in 1880. our man
will walk up the White House steps
and take his seat in the President
tial chair. Then will our glorious
triumph be eOsBplete then will we
proceed to tear yonr amendments
from the Consti. ution and trample
them in the mire; then will we
break the shackle you have forged
for tue three sovereign and inde-
pendent Common ealths of the
Union; then will we recognize the
right of secession, a right that Ia IOt
dead but sleeping then will we
decorate the Capitol with the pic
lures IF Davis, and Lee, and Stuart,
and all the glorious leaders of u
cause that is not lost but living still.
Yes, thank God, we have captured

vantage We propose to rule the

leaders forever Odious to America.
Il Okalona States.
Such language as the above, from
the Okalona States, is doing the
people of the SOuth..great damage.
1t dues not express the sentiments
Of the true Southern man. The
Baltimore Ga:ette says il reply to il:
A small newspaper called the Okla
Iona States, published. down in
Mississippi, has thrown the Rrpub-
lican party into cold sweat by
publishing lot of editorial glib
berish about the way in which the
followers of the defunct Southern
Confrtlrr sey propose to capture the
Government aud wipe out the Con-
stitutional amendents within the
next few months. This excruciat-
ing stuff IL held up By Republican
newspapers as a sample of Southern
journalism and a true reflex of
Southern sentiment. The editor OF
this ferocious Mississippi journal Is
u hair Drained youth from Ohio
named Krrnaa. He never saw. q
Southern State until after The war.
FL. is a poet and person Of great
imaginative capacity He was o
sort of butt and laughing stock
among the rural newspapers Of
Ohio six or seven years ago. It is
quite appropriate that the long
haired. half daft citizen Of OHIO
should nov be breathing out threat
tnin ~ and slaughter in Southern
newspaper and furnishing bugaboo
material to frightrn New England
children. Tue Mississippi people
should ship thsir fierce knight
rrras,t back to Ohio.
