A FiUnT WITH MADMAN.-Thc New
bern IN. c. Nutshell publishes the follow
ing particulars Of horrible tragedy which
occurred in Onslow County, last week.
"a man who had been considered a lunatic,
but whose lunacy was of such mild type
that heretofore he has been inoffensive. went
to the farm house of Mr. Rhodes and asked
that gentleman to assist him In grinding n
knife. Mr. Rhodes was busy at the time
and could not give his attention to the lu-
natic, whereupon the lunatic rushed upon
him, and with tho knife cut deep cash
from his neck all the way down the back.
MIR. Rhodes Immediately turned upon his
crazy assailant, when the lunatic commenced
cutting him in the face and breast The
loss of blood and pains from his many
wounds caused Mr.. Rhodes to fall, but in do
ing so he called negro boy to his assistance
The boy came up with pitchfork in his
hand, and the lunatic, turning his at
tentioh from the wounded man, rushed
upon the lad, wrenching the pitchfork
from his hands and plunging the proLgs
entirely through his body. He then again
assalled the wounded man with his knife,
and was continuing to cut and slash his
body, when Mrs. Rhodes rushed out The
lunatic picked up the pitchfork and made Il
dash for her, when MIR. Rhodes called to the
wounded boy to bring him his gun. The
gun was handed him and he discharged a
heavy charge of powder and ball into the
head of the crazy man, killing him almost
instantly. Mr.. Rhodes was literally cut to
pieces, but as none of the wounds, fortu.
nately, had been inflicted in q vital spot, it
is thought he will eventually recover, while
it is believed to be an impossibility for the
boy to survive"

ADVICE TO THOSE GETTING mARRlEI
If yoi, should Ger get married, John,
III tell you what TO do
Go get little tenement,
Just big enough for two;
An one spare room for company
And one spare bed within it
If you'd begin Loves life Alright,
You'd better thus begin it,
In furniture be moderate, John.
And let the stuffed chairs watt
One looking glass will do for both
Yourself and loving mate,
And Brussels too, and other things
Which make fine appearance,
If you can better afford it, they
viii better look year hence.
Some think they must have pictures, John,
Superb aud costly, too
Your wife will be picture, John,
Let that suffice for you
Remember what the wise mon said;
"a hut and love within il,
Is better than splendid house
with pickering every minute.
And one word as to cooking, John,
Your wife can do il best,
For love to make the biscuit rise
Is better far than yeast
No matter if each day you don't
Bring turkey to the table,
Twill better relish by AMI by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John
Money earned every day
If you would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way.
A note to pay is another thing
or thing you please to call it)
When II hangs DER n man who has
tSv mvney In his wallet.
And now when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich;
1t took them many toilsome year
To gain their enved niche:
And as you gain the summit, John,
Look well TO your beginning
And then will all you win repay
The care and toll of winning.

A THOUGHT.

The summer rose the sun has flushed
With crimson glory may be sweet;
lis swectcr when the leaves are crushed
Beneath the winds and tempcst's feet.
The rose that waves upon its tree
In life sheds perfume all around
More sweet the perfume floats to me
or roses tramped on the ground.
The waving rose with every breath
Scents carelcssly the summer air;
The wounded rose breathes forth its death
Its sweetness far more rich AMI rare.
1t is truth beyond our ken,
And yet truth which all may read
Ii is with roses as with men,
The sweetest hearts are those that bleed
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out Of q heart all full of grace,
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the cross became its base.

How WHISKY PAYs.-Some years ago
VIC had in our employ man who, several
times in the day, ran out of the Office to buy
a drink of whisky. Every time he went out
the cashier was instructed to drop ten cents
into the drawer to our credit. Attic end of
seventeen months, the man who had gone out
so often had drank himself out OF good
situation, and the drawer, when opened, was
found to contain four hundred and nine dol,
lars, which we loaned to young mechanic
at seven per cent. interest. He used it to
purchase at set Of timers tools On the
18th of November, 1876, he returned it to
us with interest, saying in his letter that he
has now wife, two children and property
worth five thousand dollars. The other ftl-
low Is hummer, hunting for food.-Ec-

taking Charleston by the way on Florida
tour. Bishop Latane is Virginian and q

in Stuart's famous raid around Mcclellan.
The circumstances of his unfortunate death
arc told as follows in McCabe's Life and
Campaigns of Gen. Robert f. Lee: ga
squadron under Capt. Latanc charged the
enemy's column with spirit. A sharp hand
to hand fight ensucd, resulting in the. Fed

and privatcs were taken prisoners, and
number of horses, arms equipments and
five gudons captured Capt. Latanc sin
slcd out the Federal commander, and dash
ing at him cut off his hat close to his face
with blow Of his sabre. The latter lodged
the blow, which had else been fatal, and
turning quickly fired two revolver loads at
Latanc, killing him instantly. A few min
utcs later and the Federal officer was cut
down by the sabre Of a Southern private"
The body of Capt. Latanc was taken by his
comrades to neighboring plantation and

accustomed to tho smell of tobacco objects
to it, for it becomes imperceptiblc. Every

children in an atmosphere of tobacco SMOKE,
so as to accustom them to it from their ear.

| The PENIrENTIAnY CONDEMNED AND
JUDGE Lynch JUsrIPiED.-Orangebu
March 22.-That much of the crime in
this State is attributable to whiskcy aud the
practice Of carrying concealed weapons, can
not be denied and the time has come when
the most stringent laws should be enacted
for the suppression of these evils. Let the
war against them be carried, if needs be-,
into Africa. There is, however, still another
caus, of crime The Penitentiary, though
designed to lesson crime. tends TO increase
it. This, to some, may seem strange, but it
| is nevertheless true. The fear of term iu
the Penitentiary, even for life, is not parti-
cuarly great with the worthless and evil
disposed to be found in every community,
who would almost as leave be in as out of it..
The chance of getting there instead Of hav-
ing to stretch u little hemp, or hug the
whipping post, has tendency TO make such
characters reckless and regardless of conse-
quenccs in the commission of crime.
When some years ago this question of
pcnitcntiary or no pcnetcntiary was before
the people of the State, one of her most
gifted and honored sons, the lato Gen. d.
Il. Jamison, after very careful examina-
tiou of all the statistics obtainablc upon the
subject, became 4 warm advocate of the
negative side, upon the ground that where
ponitcntiaries existed crime was much more
prevalent than where there were nonc.-
That crime in South Carolina, in proportion
to population, has greatly increased since
the establishment of the penitentiary, must
DO opporeut co oil.
AS to his Honor, Judge Lynch, tho wri-
ter claims to bo q aw-abiding citizen Of
this good old Commonwealth, as much so
as any man within her borders, aud in all
ordinary cases will go as far as any of his
fellow. citizens in maintaining lnvioatc the
law of the land, but, when crime like that
for which Moore was lyncbcd in Spartan
burg and Kinder in Colleton is committed,
it will require the aid Of microscope with
the most wonderful magnifying powers to
enable him to see anything particularly
wrong in swinging the pcrpetrator of it as
high as Hamar to the nearest tree, without
judge or jury. These, VIC belle to be the
sentiments Of all men throughout the coun-
try-North, East, South and West-who
are possessed of true manhood, and who
arc deserving of and appreciate the noblest
and best gift cf God to man. 1t is only
the faint hearted and weak. .knccd who hold
up their hands in holy horror at such pro.
ccedings.
We think it can be justly assumed that
when devil in human form commits the
most damnablc and heinous crime known TO
the law, he by his own deliberate act places
himself in such position as to deserve the
protection of the law no longer.
Lynch law, it must be admitted, is bad
law, though it has its good as well as bad
features. There arc doubtless others of tho
same stripe as Moore and Kinder, who, were
it net for fear of being Immediately lynched,
would soon make themselves known-A

FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA-
Some time ago Mr.. c. w. Garner, owner
Of the Harris Mill on Lawsou's Fork, and
his brother, S. l.. Garner, of Union County,
accompanied by colored boy, Smith Spears,
embarked, in common plank boat IS feet
long and B! feet wide, at Skull Shoals on
pa'fst Sf td E6E 6oaa Anc ""HtS Tr '"1 sauD
ment consisted Of Il few simple cooking
utensils, good axe, some guns and ammu-
milton and few necessary bed clothes
The boat had n, sort of covering, and was
worked by oars. Quietly they foated down
Pacolet to Broad River at Piuckney Ferry,
thence down that river by easy stages to
Columbia. They campcd out at night !;
stopped in the day time and took little
hunt when they came to an inviting place.
They generally kept themselves in game,
mostly squirrels and ducks. They spent
two or three days in Columbia Thus far
the waters had been familiar to G.. w. Gar
ner, as he had made, perhaps, several trips
to Columbia in cotton boats. After rest
ing in Columbia they started down the
Gcngarec, and then they seemed, after
short ride, to be hedged in by :ntcrminable
swamps. They came upon new kind of
trec-the cypress At Hopkins Turn Out
they stopped awhile, and were there pleas
antly entertained by planter. Here their
colorcd companion came to tho conclusion
that he was about as far from the hills
about Skull Shoals as he desired to be. In
fact the appearance Of the Congarce swamps
was not inviting, so he took the train and
returned. The two brothers then proceeded
down, to them, the strange and unknown
waters. lnnumerablc squirrels and ducks
now made their appearance. They only
shot enough for their own use or if in the
excitement Of the sport they killed more,
they gave them out to the first person they
saw on the banks. Sometimes they would
see no sign Of human habitation for whole
day. Forests and swampt were on all sides
Thus they proceeded until they reached
tide water then they went out IN sight Of
tho blue and boundlcss Atlantic. After
taking peep at Old Ocean they turned
up NluSquito Creek and rowcd into the bay
at Georgetown. Here they spent several
days looking around this old town. The
trip lasted about three weeks OF course
they could have gone down much quicker,
but they wished to sec and learn on the
way. They sold their boat for about the
original cost of the lumber and then took
steamer for Charleston, and after looking
around the old City awhile they took the
train for home. So well arc they pleased
with their trip that they think Of repeating
it next winter. To them this was fine
object lesson in geography, as well as les
son i'll human naturc.-(ar. Sportom.
