sembly that filled Chicago church.
The ceremony was smoothly perform>
ed, and the married pair passed the
aisle on their way out. At the door
the bride said that she intended to go
home with her mother, instead Of
starting on the honey moon tour that
had been planned. Nobody could
dissuade her, and she parted from her
husband then and there. After wait

mind, or make an explanation, Slow
stead now sues for divorce. A trihe

and Mrs. Manning, who stayed Ia
Worcester hotel on their wedding
night. In the morning. the husband
said that he was going out for an hour
and that was the last seen of him by
the bride, who waited until afternoon,
and ther sent for her brother to come

A Franklin Mans Invention.

Mr. John NJ. Cayce last Friday re-
ceived his letters patent on his late
invention for measuring the quantity
as well as the specific gravity of all
kinds of liquids. The patent runs for
seventeen years from the 21st day of
this month. 1t is a wonderful ma
chine. Several attempts have been
made by other parties in this county
to make a machine that would do
what Cayce's will do. but with only
partial success. Mr. G. has spent a
great deal oflabor and money, and is
now beginning to see the full fruition
of his hopes. May he make millions
out of it. The model which has just
been made is small and designed to
measure the quantity and specific
gravity of whisky, brandy or wine,
and would be of lncalculable value to
Government in its internal revenue
operations. We congratulate our
honest hard working friend on this
triumph of his wonderful inventive ge-
nius.-Frdnklip Repie'r and Journal.

A MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
An Old Citizen of jackson
Found Murdered.

On Wednesday report reached the
city authorities that the body of a
dead maa had been discovered Just
outside the corporate limits. Officer
Ramseur was dispatched to look after
the matter, and upon arriving at the
spot designated found the dead man
as reported. Without recognizing the
deceased, he Immediately notified Cor
oner McRee, who with a jury of in
quest repaired to the place and upon
examination it was found to be the
body Of john j. Anderson, an old
and highly respected citizen of this
place. He was found lying on his
face, with his hands folded under him,
with no sign of blood or anything to
indicate that he was murdered on the
spot, but all clearly indicated that the
perpetrators of the foul deed had car
ried his body to, and secreted it in
this grove.
The examination by the jury re-
vealed two wounds in the head,
thought by some to be made by a bay
onet, while his skull presented a man.
gied mass Of fractured bones. He had
ON his person S43.50 in money, which
shows that money was not the object
of the murder. He was supposed by
his family to be at Grand Junction,
but was seen by some of our citizens
on Monday, having arrived in the city
by the 2.30 train, but it seems that
he had not been home, although found
in grove within few hundred yards
of his huose.
Mr. Anderson was about go years
old, served under Gen. Haskell in the
Mexican war, and was one of the first
to raise a company for the COnfeder-
ate service, at the outbreak of the
late civil war. For many years he
was one of our most enterprising gro
Gerry merchants, but for two or three
years he has been afflicted with par
tial insanity, disqualifying him for
business, and under his usual abera-
tions of mind, would frequently vans
der from home, but was as harmless az
u child. His murder is enveloped in
great mystery, but vigilant steps will
be taken 10 ferrit it out, and the per-
petrators Of the crime brought to JUS

The Legislature did good work
last Thursday when Mrs Sophia h.
Hatton was elected State Librarian.
She is not only thoroughly competent
to fill the place acceptably, but she
needs the office to help her to make a
living. Besides, her gallant husband,
the late Gen. Robert Hatton, laid
down his life on the terrible battle
field of Seven Pines while fighting for
Tennessee and the South. 1t i. a
graceful trib&te to his memory to elect
her librarian for the state.

More Millions at Stake.
Nnshri1Ie American of tine Goth

Nashville American of the 3Oth.
1t leaked out yesterday that hold
ers of funded coupon bonds are maxi
ing arrangements to bring suit
against the State, quite, if not almost
as novel and important in its nature
as those recently instituted against the
railroads. 1t has been held by emf
nent lawyers that one state cannot sue
another, but it is now proposed to put
this question to the test. A donation
of 500, 600 in these funded coupon
bonds will be made to a certain South
ern State for the benefit of her charit-
able institutions. 1t is understood
that proceedings will then be institut>
ed by which the State will bring suit
against the State of Tennessee for the
amount of the funded coupons held
for such institutions. Correspondence
is now going on between this class of
state creditors for the purpose Of per-
fectiDg the arrangement necessary to
bring the suit. The question will at
tract very great interest, and will, we
suppose, be carried to the United
States Supreme Court for final deci>
sion.
The amount involved in this suit
will be between 100000 and s5,-

The variety known as Hathaway s
Excelsior, or simply Hathaway, is
highly appreciated in England, the
London Globe says that it is the best
kind to grow for culinary purposes,
being fine, large, red sort, almost as
smooth and round as a ball, The
same writer in speaking of raising
them in pots and boxes says that soap
suds, or any mild sewage of that kind
proves most acceptable to the plant,
after they have filled the pots and
boxes with roots, as does also SCOT or
guano water, and if this assistance is
eiven, it matters little what soil is
used. We have known tomatoes sue
cessfully grown on this principle by
filling barrels nearly full of soil, set
ting them in warm place, and trans
planting tomatoes into them. These
were watered with the kitchen slops
and bore abundantly. The barrels
being not quite full, could be easily
covered from spring frosts. 1t is bet.
ter for the barrels not to be tight, and
to afford some drainage.

its travelling died away in the dis
distance, they could hardly convince
themselves that they had seen any
thing. 1t seemed more like the Great

ality.
And now let me tell you that no
engine ever beat the time we made
on those fourteen miles. Those great
driving wheels, seven feet in dame
ter, spun around so swiftly, that you
couldn't begin to count the revolu-
tions. The engine barely seemed to
touch the track as she flew along
and although the track was as true as
it could possibly be, she swayed fear
fully, and often made such prodigious
Jolts that it required considerable
skill for one to keep his feet. No en-
gine could hold together if crowded
