A Boy ALMOST Torn TO PIECES BY 4
DFsPFRAT PAIR OF FELISEs. Several days
aro. saws the Little Rock. Arkansas, ID
-ette. we published an article from the Dor-
IopeHe 4rkansiun, giving an account OF
bull dog attacking and almost tearing a
couble Of children to pieces such a course
from a bull dog is not surprising. Dut the
following given up by Mr.. George Harrison
of Poinsett county, IS something aslde from
the usual line Of animal ferocIty:
Several mornings ago, a boy about ID years
old q nephew of Mr.. Harrison, an inmate
of his family. went out to the barn TO fced
the horses. When be entered the lott he
discovered two large cats lying on the straw
asleep. Boy like, he took up a bundle OF
fodder, and creeping up, struck Doth Oh
them at one blow. There was something OF
a disappointment in the result. The cats,
instead of running away, sprang at the boy
with a fury that startled him. Having moth
ING with which to defend himself, the boy
tumbled around, while the cats squalled,
clawed and bit him numerically. The boy 5
cries did not bring assistance, and, OF
course. realizing the fact that It might
prove fatal to delay desperate efforts, the
boy sprang toward the ladder leaning
against the %rafters, and assembled to the
roof of the house. The cats followed him.
and, despite his efforts to keep them away,
bit clawed him frightfully. Realizing his
ladder fully he jumped down on the hay.
The cats followed him. By this time he
was bleeding very freely, and his coat was
almost torn into threads. Selling one OF
the cats by the hind legs, be attempted to
beat it to death against the wall, but the
animal turned around and began tearing bis
arm Shaking the feline off, he ran to the
ladder leading down, The animals follow
eel him. Just as he reached the ladder, he
discovered a m-onkey-wrench lying on the
f1oer. Selling it, he turned, dealt the fore
most cat a blow between the eyes, and be
fore it could recover mashed its head. The
other animal was not rendered less ferociou
by the death its companion, but fought
with fury. With a heavy blow the boy
stretched out the remaining seine and beat
out its brains. Catching them by the tails,
he marched to the house to give an account
of his battle. When he entered the house
ragged, and bleeding from almost every
inch Of his body, holding two large cats by
the tails, the establishment of the uncle ano
the terror Of the aunt were what you might
call b~oundless.
The boy has been confined to his bed
since the encounter, and his physicians say
that his recovery is doubtful.

General Robert Toombs, in his fre-cating
speeches in Congress before the war, con-
tributed his part towards precipitating the
events of 1S6O-'6l, and after the troubles
began, instead Of fighting for his country
as he now falsely asserts. he, together with
Alex. Ill Stephens and old ice Brown, did
more to undermine the Confederacy and
to cause discussions at home than Sherman's
army did in it's march through the great
State Of Georgia from the mountains to the
sea. While the brave Georgians in the field
were exposing their breasts to the enemy
and striving to beat back the invader, Bob
Toombs and the other kindred spirits above
mentioned raised an army Of indictments
which, by their course OF conduct under
the inspiration of this same self-named war
rior, was equal to a fire in the rear. BY the

THE LIVERPOOL MYSTERY.
How the Missing Miss was
Found and the Story of her Ad-
ventures.

The case of Miss Edwards, who disap-
peared from Liverpool in a mysterious man
ner, is still an object OF excitement III the
London, papers. After six weeks she was
discovered in London, and, according to the
Da,ly Telegraph of the 9th, still remains at
the house of her uncle, whittier she was
conducted upon being recognized. one IS
suffering from a severe nervous aiec'loI'
and it is hardly possible that she Will be able
to travel for some days yet. Her father ana
mother vent to London at once upon learn,
mo the very welcome news that she had
been found. with the intention OF taking hei
home on Wednesday. Mr.. Edwards Was,
however, obliged to return To Liverpool yes
terday morning, but her nothing remains TO
tend her. THE poor girls illness IS not to
be wondered at" says the 1etegraPh,, con
sidering the suffering through whichshe has
b,ssed since she left her home on September
Sd last. justifying, as there Is reason to De
lieye they do, some OF the worst appreseI-
sions regarding her disappearance. Upon
that day she was to visit some from 1riends
in the neighborhood of lsllngton (Llverpool)
and paw several trihing bills. For these pur,
noses she left Fairfield, where she resided
with his parents, and took an omnibus to
the Monument in London road. In the ON
nibus she met several persons who were
members of the congregation at the chapeI
which she attended, and with some or whom
she entered into conversation. Allghtlng at
the Monument the young lady. went down
Stafford street as a near cut to the mouse OF
a friend, upon she was to call, and who knew
of the intended visit. A portion OF Stafford
street and Blandford street form about the
form about the lowest neighborhood III Llv-
erpoOl. and before now there have Deer
more than one strange disappearance iron
this very locality, and in these cases 1t Is
believed that the agents were men affecting
the dress and manner of ministers OF religion
or women who carry out shocking schemes
under the guise of friendliness.
Miss Edwards, who is scarcely eighteen
Years of age, is subject to fainting fits, and
She was in this part of the town when she
felt one of them coming upon her. She hac
either fallen or was stumbling when a mar
came forward to assist her, and she remem
bers giving him her address and asking hin
to call a cab and have her driven home.
Here begins the mystery. That she was
drugged and involuntHrily detained hei
friends have no doubt. She came to Londo'
on September 6, it is believed, partly undei
coercion and partly by the reason OF tho
shame and horror she felt at the outrage
of which she had been the vlctlm-theu I'M
willing and even unconscious victim, 50 Ia
as it is possible to judge from the meagre
information which alone is allowed by tn,
relatives to transpire; and, indeed, 1t Is
doubtful whether the poor girl, suffering &C
" as she has been since her restoration to
her friends, could at present give anything
more than a disjoined narrative OF her ter
rIble experiences.
