The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-05-05

From the Little Rock ark Gazette.
The Gazette has the following from a re-
liable correspondent at slower Dallas coun-
ty, this State: zone Of the most terrible
tragedies occurred near this place on yester-
day ever known ia the annals Of this coun-
try. The wife Of a Mr. Mutt, a wellto-do
planter, residing some six miles from this
place, IN the northern portion Of Calhoun
county, during the absence Of her husband
threw all her children, five in number, into
we'll, and to make sure OF their drowning
let the bucket into the well and suspended
herself in the well by the rope and kept
them pushed under water with her feet Tn
til she was satisfied that life was extinct.
The husband returned just at nightfall, aud
on being told by his wife that their children
were in the well fastened to the residence of
a neighbor near by, Mr. Clemons and in
formed him OF what had occurred, request
ing him to have the hodies drawn out. He
(Nutt) then went 10 his fathers, few miles
distant, and has not returned TO his home,
whore his Ave children lay wrapped in the
icy embrace of death. The eldest child,
boy, was twelve years of age aad pIowed
the forenoon before his death. DIR. Holder
ness, Of ChambersvilIe, and DIR. Robertson
were summoned this morning and pronouuo-
ed Mrs. Mutt insane.

Women as Telegraphers.

The English Government has employed
women as telegraphists since January, 1870.
Nominations to compete are given by the
Postmaster General. The limits of ages are
mot under IA or over Is" They receive
shilliugs a week to begin with, the highest
scale OF pay being so shillings a week, and
thev work eight hours a day between the
hours of 8 A. n, and 8 P. NJ They former
" worked in separate galleries, but it was
found desirable til place them in the same
galleries as the men and boys, and the socie-
ty and mutual influence have been product
i've of beneficial results. The female tele-
graphists belong 10 the same class from
which assistants behind the counters of shops
are recruited these posts, however, are
open TO women ofall grades Great accura-
cy, general intelligence and quickness ara
req nired for the work, which Is, as . rule,
satisfactorily accomplished. II il deemed
inexpedient TO employ female in night work.

Beaconfeld's Wife.

Disreli may have been the pet of forum
but much of his success is to be ascribed to
three women-to his wife, to Mrs. Bridges
Wyllyams, of Devonshire, who left him
$4,000 on the sole condition that the
should enjoy his friendship and be buried
at her death among the Disrslis at Hughen-
don, and the Queen of England The wife
of the late Earl was the widow of his friend,
Wyndham Lewis, and was ten years his
senior If passage in "Endymion" is to
be trusted as autObiographical, she relieved
him of fully half the embarrassment of
popping the question. To her influence he
always largely ascribed the success of his
after life. The Boston Journal draws this
pleasant picture of their lives;
''He was all chiyalrous Difference to wo-
men in general and all devotion to one
woman in particular. Addressing the farm
ers of Buckinghamshire at a harvest home
festival he called his spouse 'the best wife
in England" and he dedicated "SybiP ''to
the most severe of critics, but a perfect
wife" At every turn in the road along
which We trace his path to fame, we see
standing beside him this enchanting figure
of faithful wife, nerving his ambition,
soothing his defeats, and entering with zest
into his ultimately startling triumphs. The
story has often been told of her riding with
him down to the House of Commons, giving
tNN4NA
having her thumb severely crushed by the
carriagedoor, lest her distress might I'M
nerve him for the great speech which he
was shortly to deliver. 1t well illustrates
the fine sympathies that linked them to
each other. The vicinage of Hughenden
has been full Of touching anecdotes of their
| home felicity. Disreli purchased Hughen-
den manor from the Norris family, and Mrs
Disreli did with it, while she lived, what
she pleased. The handsome mansion was
more than half hidden by beeches and elms
and the gardens and Conservatives were
exceedingly beautiful. In a little basket
carriage, behind shaggy black pony called
| Jack, Mrs. DisrSeli was accustomed to ride
around among her husbands neighbors and
| tenantry, with smiles for her social equal:
| and an open hand for those of poorer sta,
ton. AT her instance, Mr.. Disr#li long
since built convenient and welI-appointed
| school house, in connection with st. Mich.
aefs Church, where they were 10 be seer
kneeing together every sunday wheT
| Parliament was not in session. They both
took deep interest in the laborers' families
on their estate, aud each cottage was little
model of convenience and comfort. 1t is
not surprising that this fond couple should
have been regarded as something more thar
common clay by the simple country foil
| thereabouts.

Error to the Chancery Courts of Issaque-
ia County, Hon. w. G.. Phelphs, Chancel-
Tor.
In January, 1872, Mayer purchased GER
tain lands, sold for the taxes of 1871. In
1875 he fled this bill to confirm the title
Defendants answered the bill showing that
the sale was void; among other things, that
the county taxes were levied by the board
ofsupervisors at an improper time.
Complainant then amended his bill pray
ing for the establishment of a lien on the
lands for the amount paid st the tax sale
and all subsequent taxes, with interest and
damages, under : IT'S of the Code of 1871
the amount claimed being about 81 500.
For years prior to 1869 the lands belonged
TO the heirs of H. w. PEBBLES, who held by
descent from their ancestor. On the 18th
day of May 1869, the lands were sold to the
levee board for the levee taxes of 1868. On
the 18th day of December 1872, after the
two years for redemption, the heirs pur-
chased part Of the lands from the leVee
board taking deed to "the estate of II. w.
Peebles.' Defendants were in possession OF
the land all the time, and still are, enjoying
the income.
1t was claimed that the taxes for 1871
had been paid before sale. One of the de-
PENDANTS testified that he had paid the
taxes by giving to the deputy collector a
draft on firm in New Orleans. and that the
tax receipt had been lost. The Act Of 1867
Up. 2S7 49, provides that lands while held
by the levee board shah be exempt from
taxation Defendants therefore claimed
that the lands were not liable to be sold for
taxes when purchased by Mayer.
The Chancellor dismissed the bill, with
costs. and refused to grant any relief what
