The lady lived alone and with only
TWO female servants IN the house. She
had resided there for the past ten
years, except during short periods
when she came into the city and
stopped with friends. The reports con
corning the affair are very meagre, but
it is said that two tramps are supposed
to have been implicated in it. A
couple of shots were heard near the
house about 8o'clock last night, and
upon neighbors repairing to Mrs. Eos

with her skull crushed and presenting

scoundrels, and if caught they will
doubtless be roughly dealt with.

liberty, whereas, women in marry

epigram easily disposed of. When
men sacrifice what is called their In.

tired Of their liberty or that particular
form OF it which bachelorhood ENJOYS

why Women NIarrv.

Vanity Fair.l
The question which we considered
last week, why Mep Marry" is an
interesting one but it must be pro-
nounced inferior in interest to the
question why Women Marry" in the
degree in which men are in all RESPECTS
less interesting han women. The
willingness Of women to marry is
greater and more patent than that of
men and, we will add, that it is n
great deal more wonderful. That
women have, to use a colloauial phrase
the worst Of it all through life, we en-
terrain no doubt, and that the matri-
monial state is understood by expert
ence, has, as a rule, fewer attractions
for them than for men, we also believe
to be true. Yet where there are
many men who from choice abstain
from marrying, and still more who put
OFT marrying till the last practicable
moment, we doubt if there are anv
women worth mentioning who refuse
the married state from option and de-
ana not many marry who
postpone marrying till a late period of
life from a repugnance to having a
husband. That women refuse indi-
yidual men, and sometimes 90 on re-
tusing man after man, is true enough :
but then their objection is to the
man and not TO the condition of
life the man proposes or, not in
frequently, their refusal arises from
mere skittishness, from a feeling they
may do better, or from a cheerful con-
yiction that there is plenty of time to
think about it," AS a rule, however.
women who have the chance of marry,
ing marry, and they would marry vet
more promptly than they do were n
not that they are frequently held bach
by wise parents or dissuading friends
How is this apparent paradox 10 he
explained There is less to induce n
woman to marry than to induce men

TIE LATE CHAs. c. PARSONS.
Memorial Services at Grace Episcopal
Church Yesterday.

The memorial services at Grace
Episcopal church on fernando street
yesterday afternoon in honor ofthe late
Rev. Charles G. Parsons were interest
ing in the highest degree The Chick
asaw Guards, of which Mr.. Parsons
was chaplain, turned out in full uni
form, their banner furled and drapSd
IN mourning and the swords of the
officers tipped with Grape. The Bluff
City Grays were also out in full uni
form, the same marks Of grief and re-
spect being observed. The people
were so numerous at the church that
many were utterly unable to gain adj
mlttance, and a large crowd lined the
street and sidewalks near the sacred
edefice. The Right Rev. Bishop
Quintard oficiated at the religious
ceremonies, aided by the Rev. George
Harris ofSt. Mary's Episcopal church.
An infant child Of the departed min
lister, about n year old, was baptized
by the bishop during the services.
Eulogies on the deceased with a sketch
of the principal incidents of his life
were included within the remarks of
the minister who recounted his ca
reer. The choir of Calvary church
contributed, by the excellence of
their music, largely to the interest of
the occasion, The lovely character of
the weather lent brightness to the
ceremonies and enabled a large num-
Der to be present that otherwise would
have been unable to attend.

THE CHISHOLM MURDER.
Testimony of Sheriff Sinclair.

DE KALB, Miss, September 9.-The
trial of Henry J. Gully for the murder
Of Cornelia Chisholm was continued to-
day. +. G. Sinclair, witness for the
State, swore that he was % years OF age.
In 1877 he was Sheriff OF kemper coun-
ty; that warrants were placed in his
hands for the arrest of Chisholm and
other parties charged with the
murder OF John W. Gully.
He deputized several parties TO
accompany him and aid in the arrests,
thinking he might need aid. He found
Chisholm at home and told him his busl-
ness. Chisholm laughed at it. He
placed men to guard Chisholm. During
the morning crowd collected about
the house, among them Henry Gully.
Chisholm sent for him to come 10 the
house. On arriving Chisholm said 10
Gully, "You think killed your brother,
John Gully" Gully replied, "li
you did not kill him your
money hired him killed" Chisholm
did not deny this, but replied, 81 don't
want To die just now" The witness
objected to Mcclellan going as guard to
the Jail, because he feared some danger
would beial him on account of his be-
inga Republican. He knew Mcclellan
TO be distasteful 10 the crowd.
On cross-examination, the defendant 3
counsel attempted to show by this wit
ness that Mcclellan was distasteful TO
the crowd not because OF his being a
Republican, but for other reasons.
