He Paid His Five Thousand Dollars.

But here comes one of my favorites
Isn't she fine looking? No? Well,
listen while I tell you her story, and
earn why [ like her looks. Some years
ago q man who had more money than
good reputation advertised that he would
give $1,000 to any respectable white
woman who would walk unveiled from
the Adams House entrance down Wash
ington street with him at an hour when
all the fashionables were promenading.
For weeks that offer remained UIntaken,
tor his reputation was such that no re-
spectacle woman would be seen with
him, and the advertisement had said
" that none others need apply" Finally,
this woman who had just passed us
agreed to his terms and to join him at
the appointed place and time. When
the hour came Mr.. - was on hand.
Soon carriage drove up with q lady.
1t had been noised abroad that the offer
had been taken up, and quite crowd
had gathered to see him pay his S., 900.
He helped her alight, offered her his arm,
walked few steps with her, when she
removed her veil at his request and re-
vealed to his gaze face as black as
night. "You have deceived me-" he
said; "this is not fair" 81 am not
darby" she replied, and to prove it she
pulled off her gloves and showed a
pair of hands as.white as yours are this
minute. The man turned toward the
carriage, paid her the $1,000, and she
drove off, leaving him to the laughter
and boots of the amused crowd Of by
ISLANDERS. It turned out afterward that
the girl was very poor, and that she had
a magnificent voice she could not Guilt
vate for want of money, and this is the
way she overcame that obstacle. She
went to Europe and studied five years,
and has returned one of our most bril-
liant singers. Francisco Bulletin

Young Lady Traveller that RiValed
Speke and Cameron.

There is no woman i'll our day, asserts
the Saturday Review, whose life has
been richer in romantic incident or whose
death has possessed a more tragic inter-
est than that of Alexandrine Time.
That q young, wealthy and beauti-
full girl should give herself up deliber-
ately to African travel is Of itself an as
tonishing thing, that she should carry
out her resolution as Miss Time did,
with the constant purpose Of bringing
light to bear upon " the habitations Of
cruelty" is heroic. As a mere traveller
she almost rivaled Spoke and Cameron;
and there is a fascination in her story,
in the passionate devotion she inspired
in those who formed her escort, that be-
longs to her alone. She was murdered
by two treacherous Touareg chiefs in
Fezzan, south Of Tripoli, in March, 1869,
i'll the Both year Of her age. Miss Beth
aIn-Edwards, i'll her new book, "Six
Life Studies of Famous Women" says:
GA few days after her departure the
murderous scheme was put into eXecu-
ton. Early in the morning a quarrel
broke out-as it is supposed, intention
ally-among the camel drivers, and, hear
ing the noise. the young mistress Of the
caravan hastily quilted her tent to see
what she could do in the way of pacifica-
ton. Her appearance was the signal
agreed upon for the massacre. One
Touareg first disabled her right hand by
a sabre thrust, in order to prevent her
from using her revolver, then, with
rife-ball in the breast, achieved his
deadly work. The others rushed on to
the slaughter. The three Dutch sailors,
her sole European attendants, were next
assassinated, and then the plundering of
the rich caravan began. The faithful
negroes, who adored their kind young
mistress, were carried off with the spoil,
and the bodies of the victims left unbur-
led on the sands. Thus persisted, in the
flower of her youth, one of the most en-
terprising lady travellers, and one OF the
most courageous women who eyer lived.

Ants.

The agricultural ant is a pattern of
neatness. The most minute particles OF
dirt are carefully removed, and the
whole body frequently and thoroughly
cleaned especially after eating and sleep
ing. They assist each other IN the gen
eral cleansing, and the attitude of the
ant under operation is one of intense
satisfaction, perfect picture of muscular
surrender and ease. An ant has been
seen to kneel down before another, and
thrust forward the head under the face
of the other, and lie motionless, express
ing the desire to be cleaned; the other
ant understood this and went to work.
Sometimes this is combined with acrobatic
feats. in which these ants excel, jumping
about and clinging in a remarkable fash
ion to blades of grass. Sometimes the
cleansing ant hangs downward from the
grass. and to her the ant operated upon
clings, reaching over and up with great
agility to submit to her friends offices.
Evidently moisture from the mouth L
used for washing.

A Rough Looking Poet.

Admirers of genius often expect a
poet to be personally beautiful, like Apol-
10. Tennyson, it would seem, does not
meet this ideal. Says the San Francisco
Chronicle:
Nobody would suspect him for a poet
now. His face is strong, and his eyes
have a certain brightness, but he is
scanned, rather than wrinkled, from fore
head to elm; he appears to be puffy; he
is partially bald; lie stoops and slluffies;
dresses ordinarily and carelessly, and
has a generally rustic mein and denote
ment He does not affect and never has
affected, general society, and tie fact
shows in his bearing and slovenly raj
ment
The correspondent adds that Mr.. Ten
nyson has made such wise Investments
of his large literary earnings that lis On
tire property IS probably worth 81 COO,
600 remarkable fortune for poet.

SURGEON GEN. BARNES REPORT.
The Number Of Rich People in Paris.

M. Paul Leroy Beauleu attempts to
calculate approximately the number of
rich persons actually living in Paris. He
takes as his principal basis of calculation
the value Of the houses in the French
capital; and upon these figures builds up
his theory, on the assumption that the
less wealthy inhabitants spend about one
sixth of their income in house rent,
while the richer house-holders spend on
an average from one-eighth to one-tenth
It will be easy for those who agree with
him to follow out the theory when they
have the following list of rents, as ex-
tracted from an official source: It APP
pears that there are1 900 private houses
or apartments, the rents OF which range
from 9160 to 1920 year; 5000 between
1920 and a54O, and 1, 400 between the
latter sum and 81, 080 Finally, there
are 421 houses, or rather palaces, the
rent of which exceeds G1, 080. It is not
necessary to follow out the sums by which
the incomes of these various classes of
rich men is traced out, but it may suffice
to say that NJ Beaulieu reckons that
there are about 1000 persons in Paris
who spend incomes of $4,000 and up
ward; and this will be seen by the aid of
the figures already given tobe fully borne
out by the facts. The conclusion is also
supported by the returns of horses and
carriages kept in the capital which show
that there are from 1880 to 5000 per-
sons who keep private horses. Econo-

A Serious Accident

Happened to several Lincoln
county people who were attend
ing the fair in Shelbyville, last
Saturday. The breast strap of
team gave way, dropping the
tongue of the spring wagon that
the team were drawing, and a
run away followed of course,
with smash up. Mr.. Geo. Err
win, who was driving, had his
left arm broken, Miss Laura
Thornton was thrown out insen-
sible, Miss Lee Erwin was so
badly hurt internally as to rem
der her recovery doubtful, and
Mrs. p. l.. Thornton was bruis-
ed by the wagon turning on her.
Mr.. Z. L. Thornton was ahead
in another spring wagon, and
seeing the run away, thought
that perhaps he could stop the
frightened team by blockading
the street with his vehicle. The
effort resulted in wrecking his
wagon and Gripping his horse.

"The Revenue Come Along
and Got EN-"

One Younger L. Flynt, some
months since, put up a regular
brandy distillery on the head
Of Coidwater, near Camargo in
our county. During last week,
as is charged, it was discovered
by the indefatigable JAS. M. Da-
Wis, who resided near by, that
Flynt had been swapping bran
dy for fruit. The result was the
seizure of the distiIlery and $50
gallons of brandy and the arrest
of Mr.. Flynt, James Dollar,
Thomas Abbot, w. NJ. FARRELL,
Arch Hulsey, 10. Lambert and
Andrew Parks, COL, the last six
for illegal removal Of spirits.
The causes came on for trial
before j. w. Goodwin, L. S.
Commissioner, on Saturday last.
Flynt was bound over to the
Federal Court in a bond OF
$1,000; on failure to give which,
he was on Monday taken to
Nashville for Imprisonment I'M
til the meeting of the court.
There was a warrant against Mr..
Flynt for intimidating witnesses,
which was dismissed. The 9TH
er cases were all continued I'M
til the 10th of October, except
that of Andrew Parks, which
was dismissed, and w. NJ. Par
rell, which was continued until
the 11th OF October; tits thought
that all the other cases will be
dismissed, as the parties are
thought not to have been guilty
Of any intentional violation Of
the law in swapping fruit for
brandy.
