There was pistol-shot, and
Mr.. John V. Orrin, one of the
wealthest cotton-factors of Sa-
vannah, Ca, In whose little office
the foregoing conversation had
taken place, fell dead ON the floor.
His murderer was Jeremiah
Waring, a cotton-planter of Us
mcgee Creek, to whom Orrin for
the past five years had made
heavy advances of money in or
der to save him from bankruptcy.
Waring had given him his
note for the amount, but had of
late manifested r
AN INDISPosITIoN TO PAY HIS
NOTES.
Orrin had found it out, and
had threatened not only to take
Warnings plantation away from
him, but threatened to expose
him in the daily newspapers.
Waring was bankrupt, and
whatever money he could lay his
hands upon he gambled away.
He was a bad, bold man, but had
thus far managed to preserve an
outward appearance of respect

No one had heard the pistol
shot, for Orrin's Office was situa-

Waring took a wallet from the
open safe and removed his own
notes from it, which he threw in
the blazing flames in the fire
place, where they were quickly.

After replacing the wallet in
the safe he put the pistol into

next day I did not see the chief, but
on the day after he sent for me and
told me to speak the truth to him. l
was shown four Martini-H Henry rifles
Zone of which l had hid away and if
teen cartridges. Seeocoeni then pro-
duced the arm and hand Of a white
man, and said the five men had been
seen and two were dead. He again ask
ed me to speak the truth, and 1 con-
fessed that l belonged to Ferreira's
horse. He then said that he had given
his word, and never broke it, and add
ed that he knew as well as a white man
how to treat a prisoner.
VI was next asked if 1 recognized the
arm and spectacles of Peter Grant
were held up before me. The day after
L saw Secocoeni again, when he said L
should get my horse back, and in the
evening l told him that l could ride
without a saddle. In the morning he
ordered two Caffres to accompany me
with a white, and L was brought by
Mamaluhe to this side on the road to
the fort. Seccocoeni's brother was
with me up to this time, and before
leaving he gave me ten half-sovereigns
in gold. In the town 1 noticed there
were many thousands of Caffres. Seco-
coeni wanted to know why the war was
still carried on against him, and why
peace was not made. The chief whose
cattle were captured by us was there,
and he tied my legs. He added that he
and all his people would fight the white
to the last, and that we had better
not Come on this side of the mountains,
as we would hever get out again. A
paper was given me by S~ecocoeni's
brother for Captain Ferreira." When
Rickers arrived in camp he looked more
dead than alive.

Taken Prisoner by Caifres.

From the Transvaal Argus.
Trooper Rickers, belonging to n of
the corps engaged in hostilities against
Secocoeni, and who has been missing
for some time, has come in with a re-
markable story of his adventures dur
ing his peregrinations. He was captur-
ed by the enemy and taken to Secoco-
eni's, where he was right royalty treat
ed and sent away with a present of e5
from the chief and a letter to prove that
he had been in the kraal. He says:
my horse being knocked UP, 1 was
ordered to remain with the Caffres at
Murder Kop, with Mr.. Taunton, but,
as l did not rightly comprehend my in
structions, l continued on the march
and rejoined my troop, which was D

with them until the first lot of cattle

from the main body and fell in with
five others who had also lost themselves.
They were Peter Grant, Abraeams,
Blackburn, George and st. Croix. We
rode throughout the morning without
finding the spoor of the main body. My
horse by this time was So exhausted
that 1 shouted to the men and wanted
them to stop, but they went on, and

LA MARsEILLAIsE.
When, Where and How Rouget de Lisle
Composed the Famous Hymn.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The disturbances which have been
caused in different parts of France by
the conflicting views Of the admirers
and the opponents of la Marseillaise''
have led to some rerearches on the part
of a writer in the Temps as to the time
at which Rouget de Lisle composed the
famous hymn. After a careful examin-
alton of contemporary documents, he
has arrived at the conclusion that 1t
was in the latter part Of April, 1892
one fact in proof of this being a letter
which NJ. du Chastelet, commander Of
the fortress of Schlestadt. wrote TO the
governor of Strasburg and which con-
tanned a passage to the effet that he had
not yet received M. de Lisle's war
song which you promised me.n Still
stronger evidence is to be found in a
letter dated May, 1892, from the wife
of the governor of Strasburg to her
brother as Basic, in which, referring to
the war which had been declared during
the previous month; she says that her
husband had formed the project of hav-
ing a war song written for the occasion.
She then goes on to mention by name
IN. Rouget Lisle, and captain of en-
gineers, and a very charming composer,
who in a very short time wrote the
music, which my husband, who has a
Oood fanor voioo oopp NTH v,,,oh 20

On the other hand, there seems to be
no doubt that the words of ''La Marse-
~illaise' were not due to a sudden burst
of inspiration, some of them having
been sin the air" for months before
hand. Thus, for instance, an address
from the Club de rAuditoire, of which
Rouget de Lisle was a member, drawn
up some time previously to the compost
ton of "La Marseillaise," contained
the following sentences: "To arms, fell
low-citizensl The standard of war is
unfolded;' the signal is given. To arml
The hour of fight has arrived. Victory
or deathl' Another part of the same
address, sent out by the Club de I'Aud-
itoire to the population of the depart
ment of the Rhine, comprises several
of the expressions which are embodied
in "La Marseillaise," which the writer
in the Temps says, was no doubt writ
ten, set to music, and first sung at
Strasburg.

THE POOR OLD FRAUD.

President Hayes is making pitiful exhibit
ton Of himself over the recommendation IN
his message in favor of the destruction of the
grccnbacks. Congressman Fort, of this state,
who has constituted himself the peculiar fos.
ter.iather of the greenback, on reading the
message, at once rushed to Hayes and rated
him in the most energetic language for com
hitting the republican party to so suicidal po-
hey Hayes was terrified and at once begged
Fort to soften the language of the message as
much as possible among his friends, authoriz-
ing HIM to say that all the President meant
was to express a mere individual opinion ms to
the expediency of ''some day" Withdrawing
the grecnbacks but that he asked no legisla-
ton on the subject now, &c. In short, like
the old topper he was in favor of rigid prohi.
bltion law but opposed to Its enforcement.
Fort, taking the President at his word, did
make such explanation in his behalf freely
and literally IN the house and everywhere,
This brought the Wall street lobby in a swarm
down on Hayes, and he had even bigger
fright than Fort gave him, SO great, indeed,
that he sat down and wrote letter to friend
taking back about all he had said to Fort
This raised "a question Of veracity between
HIM and Fort, of which the latter says the
end is not yet, "by jug full" Meantime,
while the Wall street crowd are congratulate.
ing themselves on the Presidents recovery
from his first fright, they are by no means
free from apprehension lest he may again get
scared and undertake to explain that he didn't
mean to say what he did say in his last letter
to his anonymous friend"

NEGRO EMIGRATION TO INDIANA.

One of the most hcartless pieces of political
vilaiuy Of the day is that Of the Republican
Committee at Washington having for its object
the colonization of Indiana with enough South
ern negroes to overcome the democratic ma
jorlty in that state. The Washington commit.
tee sent emissarIes TO North Carolina author
lied to promise all negroes who would migrate
to Indiana that their fare from :heir homes to
Indiana would be paid, with $40 pocket money
to each, and that IN Indiana they should be
provided with homes to live IN and work at rs
cents day. 1t appears republican associ.
alton in Indiana has undertaken TO redeem so
much of the promise as to house the negroes
and provide them with the promised work.
The movement has so far succeeded that abou
three hundred North Carolina negroes have
thus far appeared at Washington and been for
warded to Indiana but on 200 more appearing
there few days ago, Mr.. Clapp, editor of the
Washington Republican, the treasurer of the
committee, was forced to state that he was out
of money, and made strong appeal to the
faithful" for more.
The negroes arriving IN Indiana ma none
but the most miserable huts offered them and
only the hardest kind of work, SO that most of
them are heartily disguised and anxious to get
back TO their old homes.
Meantime the democratic papers in the vi
cinity of the invasion are jubilsnt, declaring
that it has 50 disguised all the decent white re-
publlcans that they will desert that party in a
body. while the indignation of the negroes
over the swindle played upon them is such
that most of them that don't find their way
back to North Carolina will probably vote the

ALMOST A CROAK.

Our good friend of the E!gtn Leader appears
to have little faith in the present signs of bus
mess revival and augurs from them only evil.
After recaptulating the recent advance In price
Of number of articles, he adds;
Our judgment Ia, that this great rise is a
matter of political and speculative initiation
that it is not founded on necessity or common
sense; that it cannot continue, and that Its re-.
suits will be disastrous. We are willing to
rest our reputation for common sense on this
statement and prediction.
Our opinion is that he estimates his "repu.
tation for common sense too cheaply, and that
the speedy collapse he so confidently predicts
will not occur We base this opinion on the
fact that, although there have been very con-
siderable advances in the price Of many arti-
cles within the last SIX months, prices are yet
far from beng up to the figures OF 1872, from
which they fell. Take for example the follow.
ing articles in the tin and iron trade, in which
the late advance has hpen prpatnst.
