A ooLD.BLooDED MURDER,
Magnolia, Miss., Herald.

MuyNOssO, MsSS., dcTd(O. t=
On the 9Th instant one of the most
cold-blooded and diabolical murders
was committed in the extreme eastern
portion Of this county. While Mr..
Isaac Duncan was blowing in his field,
not a great way from his house, he
was waylaid and murdered by two
unknown parties. The assassins had
taken their position behind a log just
over the fence at the ends of the rows.
After awaiting q favorable opportuni-
ty, and when Duncan had his back
to them, they fired upon him with q
shotgun, hitting him in the back with
a number of buckshot, then jumping
the fence the followed their victim
some twenty steps, shooting him
three times with q pistol, after his
brains were shot out his forehead was
beaten in with the breech of q gun.
Two persons were working not a great
way at the time, and hearing the fir
ing Zone Of them also heard Duncan
yell, murder! murder! hclp!") and
on Fastening to his assistance, found
him lying dead and his clothing on
fire. Duncan will be remembered as
the man who was indicted in this
county in 1873 for murder, and who
was discharged for want Of evidence
against him. Neg,oes are supposed
to be the muiIelers. No arrests have
been made.

when l came to ask for SUSIE"
Just at that moment we were inter.
rupted by u pretty scolding voice
from the house, exclaiming, "Why,
Ben, you will catch your death Of
cold, sitting out there without your
coat on when the dew is falling"
Simpson had been over an hour
telling his story. Our pipes had gone
out and the sun had gone down, but
there was light enough still to mark
the placid expression Of delight that
came over his face at the mere sound
Of his wife's voice; and I thought
saw palmer than ever before how it
happened that the lively little Susie
had married my slow friend, and had
done wisely in SO doing. ...

During a recent trial in New London
a rural juror appealed to the court
to know eff the lawyers could moi
be stopped from bothering the jury
He had become bewildered in the
maze Of technicalities and subtleties
withwhich the lawyers had apparently
mystitied the case, and he cried in
anguish of spirit, "Them lawyers
come here on purpose to bother and
confuse us jurors, don'tthey, Judge ~
u suppose they do, my friend,n

BOUND TO HAVE HER,

! The old man Bendigo keeps q pretty
sharp eye on his daughter Mary, and
many a would be lover has taken d
walk, after a few minutes converse
ton with the hard hearted parent.
The old chap il stuck this time, how
ever, and cards are out for a wedding.
After the lucky young man had been
sparkling Mary for six months, the old
gentleman walked in az usual, re-
qucsted private confab and led off
with:
"You seem like a nice young man,
and perhaps you are in love with
Maryi"
Eyes, l am" was the honest reply.
Haven't said anything to her yet,
have you I"
"Well, no; but | think she rccipro-
Gates my affection"
"Does, eh I" Well, let me tell you
something. Her mother died a luna
tic, and there's no doubt that Mary
has inherited her insanity"

eyes, but you see Mary has a terri
bic temper. She has twice drawn o
knife on me with intent to commit
murder"
'l'm used to that--got sister just
like her." was the answer.
"And you know that l have sworn
a solemn oath not to give Mary cent
Of my property" continued the father.
"Well, I'd rather start in poor and
build up. There's more romance in
it,"
The old man had one more shot in
his carbine, and he said:
"Perhaps ought to tell you that
Mary's mother ran away from home
with butcher, and that all her rela-
tions died in the poorhouse. These
things might be thrown up in after
years, and, now warn you.'
"Mr. Bendigo," replied the lover,
"l've heard all this before, and also
that you were on trial for forgery, had
to jump Chicago for bigamy, and
served a term in the State Prison for
cattle stealing. I'm going to marry
into your family to give you decent
reputation. Thcp-no thanks.-good-
bye"
Mr.. Bendigo looked after the young
man, with his mouth wide open, and
when he could get his jaws together,
he said:

THE SHAMROCK,

The following lines on the "Sban
rock" received in letter from Corh
Ireland, have been handed to us f0
publication. They were composed O
st. Patrick's Day, by blind girl, at tn
asylum in that city:
The spreading rose is fair to view,
And rich the modest violct's hue,
Or queenly tulip filled with dew,
And sweet the lily's fragrance,
But there's flower more dear to me,
That grows not on q branch or tree,
But in the glass plays mcrrily,
And of its there are but three
'Tis Ireland's native Shamrock.
My country's flower, l love it well,
For every leaf tale can tell,
And teach the minstrel's harp to swell
With praise of Ircland's Shamrock.
The emblem Of our faith divine,
Which blcst st. Patrick made to shine
TO teach eternal truths sublime,
And which shall last as long as time,
And long as blooms the Shamrock.
0 Irvine q wreath of Shamrock leaves
They decked the banners of our chiefs,
And Gained the Irish exi1e's griefs-
Ireland's treasure is the Shamrock.
The muse inspired with words of praise
The poets of our early days
To write in many glowing phrase
And sing in powerful, thrilling lays
The virtues of the Shamrock,
He who has left his island home,
Beneath a foreign sky to roam,
And in a foreign cline unknown,
How dear he loves the Shamrock.
When on the feast of Patrick's Day,
He kneels within the church to pray
For holy Ireland far away,
He feels again youths genial ray,
While gazing on the Shamrock.
The brightest gem or fairest flower
That ever blOOmcd in eastern bower
Possessed for him not half the power
That dwells within the Shamrock.
Sweet memories like refreshing dew
The past with all its charms renew
The church, the spot where wild flowers
grew,
The faithful friends, the cherished few
He left to Gull the Shamrock.
Land of the West, my native isle,
May heavens love upon thee smile,
TO Danish foes that may begui1e
The lovers of the Shamrock.
May God forever cherish thee
In peace and love and harmony,
And rank the proud mid nations free,
Thus pray thy children ferventIy
For Ireland and the Shamrock.

AN EL0PEMENT FRUSTRATED.

An English girl, near Manchester,
tied a string to her toe and let 1.-THE
string, not the toe-hang out Of the
window for gentleman friend to pull
in order that she might not miss her
music lesson. The rector of the
church, it is further stated, hearing Of
the arrangement, refused the couple
the sacrament. And this reminds us
OF little story. Once upon time a
young lady who desired to get up
with the lark in order to 20 Oh an
clipping tour, adopted the English
girls plan, and the lover was to be on
hand at daybreak to give the signal.
The string used for the pedal commun-
ication was stout cord, and one end
was dropped out of a third-story
window into the back yard and the
other end attached to the damscl's
great toe. And the legend runs that
a healthy goat of the William per-
suasion arose early next morning to
look for the early worm, as it were,
and wandered into the yard; after
eating up all the old tomato cans,
barrel slaves, and broken crockery
ware, he found the string, and took
that in as dessert. AS soon as the
string was drawn taut, the goat stood
up on it's hind legs and gave the string
an impulsive jerk. The girl awoke.
The goat gave another sudden pull,
and the maiden jumped out of bed
with a smothered cry Of pain. Then
she stopped down to dctach the cord
just as the ridiculous beast gave
another violent jerk, and she lost her
equilibrium-and her toe, too, almost
the cord cutting into the tender
flesh. She sprang to the window and
called in a hoarse whisper, "stop
pulling, Charles I'll be down in a
minute" Then she made another
effort to unite the cord, but that
diabolical goat gave his head several
angry bobs, and each time the girl
gave a cry of pain. Again she softly
called out in the darkness, "Charlie, if
you don't stop jerking that way III
not come down at ALL" She was an
swered by another savage pull, and
the cry Of anguish that escaped from
her lips brought her mother into the
room with a look of alright and a
lightedlan The young lady tainted,
the elopement was nippcd in the bud,
and the disappointed maiden's big toe
was sore for two weeks. The coat
escaped.
