ALMOST A MURDER.
A Negro Lover Beats His Mistress
Within an Inch OF Her Life.

Within an Inch OfHer Life.
Sunday night, at, the residence Of Mr..
Fred Tucker, on Carter street, there occurred
in the servants quarters, amurderous assault
upon Litta Taylor, colored girl in his em-
ploy, which was made by negro named
Nathaniel Middleton. The girl had
been asociating it appears, with
another party contrary to
Middleton's wishes. This party, whose name
the reporter failed to learn it seems, accom-
panied the girl home from church, which
exasperated Middleton, who was "sweet" on
her, and arming himself with billet Of
wood ho sailed IN for revenge. The
green-eyed monster had gotten full
possession of him, and be knew no bounds.
He attacked her in a most murderous style,
dealing her blows over the head and body,
knocking her senseless, when no fired an
Intellectual pistol shot at her as
he fled from the premises. Dr. Duncan was
called in to dress the wounds There was a
large cash on the head, severe and painful
wound, and besides bruises on other parts Of
her body; the first joint of the index finger of
her left hand WAS either mashed or shot off.
The true nature of her injuries are not
known, yet they are serious and may prove
fatal. Middleton has not yet been appre--
hended. He is disreputabie character, and
has been arraigned in the district court
several times heretofore on the charge OF
assault to kill and for theft.

A NEW FEATURE N INSURANCE

In Eugland they have originated and in
augursted new species of insurance. In
stead Of paying the heirs and assigns of

stipulated sum, they have rather reversed the
order of things and made it a matrimonial
aid society, giving to member the sum OF
SIS 600 when he msrries. The order lie
managed and carried on, say, just like the
knights of Honor or other similar insurance

county, kiDsmsn of the Hardeman family
and member of the legislature in 1890.
He was lawyer of good repute, soldier in

Prehistoric Europe.


The discovery of a new world by Column
bus is Justly held as great achievement OF
modern geographical inquiry, and yet within
the limits of the present generation another
new world, hardly inferior in interest and
greatly wider in extent, has been brought to
light by scientific research-we mean the
"prehistoric world" which lies buried only q
few inches beneath the surface of the earth in
every quarter of the habitsble globe. 1t is moi
only at Pompei and Herculaneum, not only
on the sites of ancient Ephesus, of Carthage
and of Nineveh, that men are able to dig for
history. When Bouchsrd, laying the foun-
datons of Fort st. Julian in Egypt, struck
on the Rosetta stone, he found the key which
has since unlocked to us the mysteries of the
hieroglyphs. When Belzoni turned from
the construction of hydraulic rams to the
ezcavs.ing of Egyptian catacomb, and tenn
pies, the cerements may be said to have fallen
away from the mummy of the old Egyptian
civilization. When Schlieman struck his
spade in the soil of Hisssrlik ,local
habitation as we'll as historic name
was found for tie "solar rayth' of
Homer. And it is not only Al Mycene
and\ Behistun, at CuZco and PsleLque, in
Palestine and on Salisbury Plain, hat
much Of human history lies buried, watt o

new life. 1t is not only TO the ey' OF the
poet that the successive generations of men,
as they como and go on the a. 20 OF the
world, present the vision of vast "Thana-
topsis." II is equally true to the eyes of the
philosopher and the man Of science that, rs
Bryant has sung:- u
The globe are but h~bdnl TO the tribes
That slumber in Its bosom
The whole earth is, therefore, the sepulchre
of buried races, and In being tho sepulchre
of buried races it becomes mausoleum of
history, as truly so as thst magnificent tomb
which Artemisia erected TO the
memory of her dead husband, the king
of CAra Savsgery has lie Pompeiis and its
Herculaneums, as we'll as the effete civillza-
ton of ancient Rome. NJ. Aeppli stumbled
