Our neighbors have been bothered with
tramps of late. One night last week three
entered the house of one of our nearest
neighbors; one went to the stove and stirred
the fire M; one to the cradle and kissed the
baby, the other took seat beside the lady
of the house, and attempted to embrace
her; she screamed, but no one came to her
rescue until they had made their escape.
We have found the tramp at last--we advise
our girls to let their fathers boots and over

CRIME AND CASUALTY.
Fatal Boiler ExpIOsiOn---Dastard

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 26.-At

an engine belonging to mill Of II. H..

one man, George Gaines, and wound.
ing several others.
At Owingsville, this State, the farm
over which there has been such bit

for a number of years, is again the
scene of q most dastsrdly attempt at
assassination. The land was given to
Jones and the present occupant, Matt.

ant. Mrs. Mcclure has been lying
very low for several weeks, and dying
night before last. was buried yester-
day, although the parties intere ,ted
have made every effort to keep the
facts in the case from the public. By
persistent pleadings, a reporter was
enabled to gain the particulars. 1t
seems that james Boyd, brother Of
Mrs. Mcclure, was watching her bed :
side, and when bending over her, some
wretch Sneaked up to the window and
fired at Boyd through it, shat.ering
the windOw-glass, the ball passing
over the intended victims head and
burying itself in the opposite wall.
Boyd ran out to see who the would be
assassin was, and on stepping out of
the door, was fred at again, the ball
missing its mark. The murderous
attack gave Mrs. Mcclure a severe
shock, and hurried her death.

Intelligent Comment.

Courier-Journal, 25th.l
The marked features in the Presi
dents case yesterday we're the rise in
the temperature, the application of
the knife to the swollen parotid
gland, the suspension of the enemata,
and the patients importantly to be
removed from the White House. So
urgent was his desire to be re-
moved to his old Mentor home or
Fortress Menroe, that DR.. Agnew
was summoned from Philadelphia and
a consultation had upon the subject.
What conclusion was reached is not
definitely known, but it is not i'm
probable that his desire may be yield
cd to in order to crafty the whim of a
dying man. A retired army surgeon
says the Presidents physicians have
not had any confidence in his recovery
for over week, but this mornings
reports again administer the daily
homeopathic stimulant to public
despair. The truth appears to be, as
the retired army surgeon states
it, that there is no es-
Gaping the ANTICIPATED result; it
may be delayed a day longer, or may
run week; but the Presidents life
is slowly ebbing away. There has
been no recurrence Of vomiting for
several days, and the supply of liquid
food has been increased; but Blaine
telegraphs Lowell that the President
did not gain yesterday, and that the
feeling up to midnight was one of in
creased anxiety. Some may find con
ISOLATION in the superb" send. off Mr..
Arthur has received at the hands of
General Hancock. As for us, we can
anticipate only unmixed evil from
transfer Of government from Garfield
TO Arthur.

TENNESSEE WOODS.
Remark, able Specimens of Tall
Timber from ObiOn and Lake.
Nashville American, 25.l

NdShVlUe hmerlchnf So'l
h Franc NJ. Paul, one of the Tennes
zee Commissioners for the Southern
Exposition at Atlanta, has just re
turned from an exploration Of West
Tennessee counties in quest of speci-
mems of the minerals, woods and
agricultural products of that region.
The country was pretty thoroughly
explored from this city TO Hickman,
on the Mississippi. The mineral ex.
hibit from the Cumberland and Ten
nessee river valleys will be rich in
specimens of very superior ores, The
stone region does not extend beyond
tue Tennessee river. There is not SO
much as a pebble from tennessee
river west to Hickman, if we
except the strangely isolated
and lonesome boulder at Hat
ton Rock, which gives the station its
naue. But if the geological specimens
are rare in this region, the woods are
of extraordinary size and variety.
Mr.. Paul says the exhibit Of woods
from several counties, notably Lake
and Obion, will be of the most remark
able in the Exposition, including
sp,eimens of beautifully grained
woods, not excelled by any other re-
,gion on the American continent. We
have been astonished by Mr.. Paul's
account of the enormous growth Of
some ofthe timber in ObiOn and Lake,
There are trees there eleven feet in
diameterl One giant in particular
he mentions riv&ling in growth
and towering height the almost
fabulous forest monarchs Of the Yose-
mite and the Sierras. This tree, Mr..
Psnl says, will hide a man and horse
completely at the distance of ten PAGES
from tie tree. The lumbermsn of the
vicinity have frequently to call into
requisitieu powder blasts to reduce
these great krees to the reasonable
proportions Of saw mills possibilities,
We confess we had DO idea we had
any such growth as that In this coun.
try east Of California, and accept the
fact as a new cause of congratulations
over the unsurpassed and linitless re-
sources OF Tennessee.

Ii is hardly necessary to comment
at length on the dispatches from
Washington to-day. Every one can
read and draw his own conclusions.
The faint expressions of hope that
come from physicians and members of
the Cabinet seem to be born Of affec
tionate desire rather than of delibe-
rate judgment. The President is
just alive and that is all that can be
said. The candle of life burns dimly in
the socket; the great mind still rises
now and then to throw out a ftful
light on earthly things. A weary
soul appears to be drawing near to the
hour of rest. Human aid is power
less; the most that remains to
be done, apparently, Is to
smooth the pillow, bathe the hot
temples and make his last moments
as easy as possible. The case appears
utterly hopeless, yet, if Divine Provi-
denCe in His wisdom and mercy,
should restore our President from the
depths of suffering and despair, the
nation would certainly stand in awe Of
such dispensation and return thanks
even as Israel of old on some great
deliverance.

BONNEVILLE, MISS, August "a
Last night at about 8 o'clock, on the

occupied by two Colored families was

house at the time, three of whom
were burned to death. The fourth
one escaped badly injured. Their re-

DR.. John S. Billings read paper at
the international Medical Congress, in
London on medical literature, which
showed that the United States have
more doctors than any other nation in
the world in proportion to population.
The total number in the world is esti-
mated at lS0, 900, and of these about
six per cent contribute to medical lit
erature. DR.. Billings finds the best
medical literature 10 periodicals, but
it is quite probable that he could also
find the worst. Books now-a-d days.
whatever may be their subjects, are
frequently begun in newspaper arti-
cles, aud naturally represent the sur
vival of the fittest" All important
discoveries, and many observations
thereon by critics, are made public
through magazine and newspaper ar
ticles, chiefly because that is the most
expeditions way OF having them wide
ly published. Then, if they are worth
preservation, they are reprinted in
book form. There is, nevertheless, a
curious predjudice among some pro-
tessional men against periodical pub
locations. They require to have them
sifted and given the Endorsement of a
republication in book form before they
will even read them. This prejudice,
however, is likely to pass away with
the generation that saw even daily
newspapers rise to the dignity Of the
best literary and scientific publications

Letter from Iowa-The Hugue-
nOtS
BURLINGTON, Oct. Oath, 1881.

MessrS. Eaitors,-With great pleasure
we have read "a story of the Huguenots
in an open letter, written by w. D. M.
to his nephews." AS we claim descent
from this same pious ancestry, 1 take the
liberty of addressing you, for 1 feel con-
strained to acknowledge the goodness of
God in remembering His promise to His
people and to their children after them.
My father, DIR. John Flournoy Henry,
was a grandson of Rev. Robert Henry, of
Charlotte county, Virginia My father
mother was Elizabeth Julia Flournoy
one of Susannahs descendants. After
marrying William Henry she came to
Kentucky, where my father was born in
1898.
My husbands grandmother was an
other of this covenant line, daughter of
Joseph Morton. My father and father
in-law, Dr. William Robertson, have each
passed from earth within the present de-
cade, leaving to their children and grand
children that blessed Inheritance an hon
ored name. Both were elders of the
Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Robertson and myself with our
two daughters, are members of the Pres
byterian church of this place, and we
trust our one little boy will in early youth
give his heart to the God of his fathers.
Please excuse this intrusion on your
valuable time, but want to tell "W. D..
NJ. that way off here in Iowa we rejoice
in the knowledge that "the Lord hath
been our dwelling place in all genera
tlons, and that we too have cause for
Thanksgiving that" the Little Night Cap"
was saved to be the head of long line
OF Presbyterians in a western land.
With earnest wishes for the success of
our welcome visitor, the Central, 1 am re-
spectfully, MARY B. ROBERTSON.

A Big Improvement.

The great benefit resulting from
the cutting of the large door in the
east side of the Theatre can now be
fully appreciated, and if there had
been absolute safetyfrom fire, the con-
Yenience it affords in the discharge
of the large audiences that have as
sembIed during the present week
would be a sufficient compensation
for the trouble and expense gone to.
1t IS a little cold in that vicinity at
present, but the drafts that will
come that way during the summer
now near at hand will be decidedly
refreshing. So far as fire is con-
cerned in the Theatre, there need
never be any danger, or need never
have been any fear, even before the
making of the new opening. Even
when most crowded, and by the old
means of egreSs, the largest audiences
would discharge in from five to
seven minutes; and no fire that
could start in the building would
make any Roadway worth men
tiOning inside half an hour. The
only real danger would be from the
panics that generally follow the
presence of a fire in such building
during a performance. However
safe the Theatre may have been be-
fore, the existence of the new outlet
VIII instil a feeling of confidence
into timid people which will in
crease their enjoyment
This, with the Improvements now
made and others to be made, will
create for our theatre, in addi-
ton to its reputation as being one
of the most beautiful places of the
kind in the country, that of being
one of the safest.
