LONDON, June 20.-An Official
account of Prince Napoleon's death
says: The Prince with Lieut.. Gary,
of the 98th Regiment, six men and
one friendly Zulu, left camp at
Kelzi Mountain, seven miles beyond
Blood River, on the first inst, for
a reconnaissance. The party halted
and unsaddled when ten miles from
camp. Just as the Prince gave
orders to remount a volley was
fired from an ambush in the long
grass. Lieut.. Cary and four of the
troopers returned to camp and re-
ported the Prince and two of the
troopers missing. From their states
ments there could be no doubt that
the Prince was killed. A party of
the 17th Lancers, with an ambu-
lance, started on the End inst. to
recover the body of the Prince,
which was found and brought in on
the same day.
A special to the daily NesCs adds
the following particulars: The
body of the Prince when found
lay on its back. There were
eighteen assegai stabs in it, two of
them piercing the body from chest
to back, two in the side and one de-
StrCyed the right eye. A locket
with hair and medallions and a reli-

The face wore a placid expression.
He had evidently Intellectually
tried to mount and the leather of
the flap tearing, he ran along the
path to where he was found. Two
other troopers lay near the body,
both having been assegaied. The
Prince was very adventurous.

The Man from the Rear Car.
From the Denver (Col. } News.

A couple were occupying a mid
die seat in the ladies' car, having
got on at way station. Probably at
tracted by the invisible fascinatio n
which never fails to bring about a
cOntretemps, a gentleman from a
rear car came in and took seat
Immediately behind the pair. There
was shock of surprise as his eyes
fell upon them, and deathly pallor
overspread his cOuntenance. But
this was for an instant only. Then
a flush succeeded, and a queer smile
began to play around the corners
of his set determined lips. An
hour passed. The billing and COO
ing went on, and the man was a
patient, and evidently an interested
listener. The people in the car be-
gan to perceive that something un-
usual was going on. Finally the
man leaned forward with that pecu-
liar smile still lowering about his
lips, and said:
"Ibeg pardon, but you seem to
be enjoying yourselves immensely"
The lady rose with a stihed
scream, and wheeling around con-
fronted the stranger with pallid
face and great, staring eyes. Her
companion was no less discon-
certed. He, too, had risen to his
feet, and stood uneasily looking at
the intruder, blushing and paling by
turns.
"My God, it has come at last -
walled the woman.
The stranger was cool and imper-
turbable. a@aH
you did not expect to see me,
did you ?"
"Heaven knows | did not n' ex,
claimed the lady, from whose eyes
the tears had already begun to
trickle. -
"Well. it's not unusual. People
often meet under peculiar circum-
stances. [ suppose you are on
your bridal tour ?"
The lady covered her face with
her hands and sank back into her
seat. She had already begun to
sob Historically.

mere chance" continued the stran-
ger. 81 am going West to Lead
vile. I thought | would try and
do something for the children, mas
much as you have left US. But l
trust you will not let this accidental
meeting disturb your enjoyment"
The woman was moaning in alb
ject misery. 3.
''I wish you all sorts of happi-
ness, and will no longer intrude
upon you. This, ladies and gentle
men," facing around to the specta-
tors, sis my runaway wife and her
lover. They are very nice people,"
and then turning away, he stalked
out, leaving the guilty couple alone
in their humiliation and shame.
At the next station they quit the
train.

We have information. though only
the brief particulars, of very sad and
distressing tragedy which occurred
near Strawb wberry Plains, il this coun-
ty, Thursday night. Il seems that al
the residence of-the widow Of Alex.
Caldwell, deceased il that neighbor-
hood. they were aroused sometime
during thn night by what
seemed to be some one breaking into
the loue. Mrs. Caldwell had two
youthful sons, perhaps IA or Is years
of age, who slept in separate apart
ments. They were both reused, it
seems, and get up TO discover the
cause, of the alaru. Ona Of the boys
took. the gun, and, having it in readi.
ness. just az he was passing from one
room TO aaOtheT, as we uDdsrsi and it,
he thoug4ft he spied the burglar, and
fred away. What was his consterna-
ton and distress, however, upon in-
vestigation, 70 fiDd that It was his
own brother, and that he had shot
him directly through the heart, caus-
ing almost instant death. The boy
was naturally overwhelmed with
grief and distress, and the unfortu-
nate affair cast a gloom of sadness
over not only the family, butthe entire
neigh borhood. z S
Since the above was put in type, We
have received the following;
Special 20 the CuronicIe.
STRAWBERRY PLAINS, Tenn,
June 20, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: Last night, between
the hours of II and II O'Clock, a sad
accident happened at the house of
Mrs. Anu Caldwell, widow lady who
lives six miles south of this place.
Mrs. Caldwell has been in bad health
for some time, and not expected to
live. About midnight she raised an
alarm and said she thought she heard
some person trying to enter the house.
Her eldest son, II years of age, heard
her calling, got out OF bed, went into
another room for gun, and while he
was gone for the gun, younger
brother had gotten up and vas walk
ing around in the room in which his
sick mother lay. AS his elder brother
returned 70 the room he heard some
one walking, and instantly fired,
killing his brother dead on the
spot, the ball passing Directly
through the heart.
Subsequent investigation showed
that there was no effort upon the
part of any one to rob or enter the
house, and that Mira. Caldwell was
mistaken, and the unfortunate affair
was purely accidental. This is indeed
sad bereavement to Mrs. Caldwell, as
she has lost her husband, son and
daughter "a young LADY,, all within
the last twelve months. fr@
She has the sympathy of the entire
community in this, the hour of affiic-
tion and distress. .- - ...

what a Western Han Thinks OF Our
Mountain ConnIrF


Gov. Burbanks, of Indiana, after
travelling over nearly every State and
Territory in the Union, and keeping
his eyes open as to the conclusion that
the soil and climate of the mountain
region OF East Tennessee and Western
NOFlh Carolina, is as good, il not bet
ter, than any section he has seen. As
proof OF bis conclusion, he has pur.
chased about one thousand acres
known as the Lost Cove, in Carter
county, Tenn, contiguous to the North
Carolina line, north OF the Roam
Mountain. He has already placed up.
on the land fifty fulI-blooded Angora
goats, as an experiment, and will next
year increase his flock with two hun
dred native ewes, with which he pro
poses to cross until he gets a quality Of
fleece that will be called for 10 the
market.
Besides this, the Governor intends
to plant largely of vegetables, in an
experimental way. He is of the opin.
Ion that potatoes, cabbsge5 and other
hardy vegetables can be grown in that
section, ana knd a market in the
South, at prices that will be remnuer-
ative, and he proposes to make a trisI
OF it. This enterprise, if successful.
will be of great benefit to this region, as
it will show to the people what can be
done with this soil and climate, and
oT"n up q branch of industry that can
be carried on without q large outlay of
capital. There are thousands of acres
here in the mountains that can be
made as available for this purpose as
the tract that has been purchased by
the GOvernCr.-ROdu Mountain Re.

XLVI CONGRESS.
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June 20.

Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia,
from the committee en- Appropria-
tions, stated that the committee
we're not able, in view of the state
of business before the Senate, to
report a resolution fixing the date
of adjournment, but hoped to be
ale to do so soon.
Mr.. Wallace rose to a privileged
question and presented the report OF
the Conference Committee on the
Judicial Expenses bill and asked its
present consideration. t.-
Mr.. Conkling said he did not
know how far the committee had
confined themselves to adjusting
the disagreeing vote and objected
to considering the report in view of
the understanding on the Army bill.
If another misunderstanding arose
by reason of crowding out the de-
bate, the Republicans would not be
to blame.
After animated discussion Mr..
Wallace withdrew the report, and
MIR. Carpenter proceeded to speak
on the Army bill.
Mr.. Carpenter argued that the
fifth section of the present bill
would prevent the Presi-
dent from using troops at the
polls even when called on by the
State, since the army, if used at all,
must necessarily be used as police
force He also criticised the Ian
guage of this section as ambiguous
and indefinite, and denied
that the presence OF a few SOL
diers in the vicinity of the polls
would be menace to any honest We
to. He continued to speak at con-
siderable length, but on the ground
covered for most parts by previous
debates.
Mr.. ingalls, then read the speech
sustaining the Presidents action in
vetoing the Appropriation bills,
during which there was some desul-
tory discussion of the charge made
MIR. Ingalls, that the Southern
Democrats intimidated the colored
citizens, and that this was the cause
of the Kansas exodus.
