How a Game Little Mississippi Girl Re-
ceived an I%mpudent Beggar.
Memphis Avalanche.
In one of the Mississippi towns, not
very far from Memphis, on the line of
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad, a
little lady, aged l. years, hot and Sc
verely wounded an impudent white
tramp, who attempted to enter the house
after being ordered not to do so. The
lady, @ho is small but game, and a crack
shot with g pistol, IA the only white
person in tho house when the burly
tramp approached. Eve have nothing
for You; YOU needn't Ont imp said she
to the tramp. "But will come in" he
answered. "You had better not, or you
will get what you do not want" quietly
responded the lady, as she laid down her
knitting, picked a ~six-shoOter from her
work basket and approached the door.
You go back in your room, or Ill pitch
YOU out Of the window" exclaimed the
ruffianlv tramp, as he walked inside the
door. Bang went the pistol, and the
tramp staggered back on the porch, shot
through the arm and breast. She raised
the pistol again. but the tramp fled. A
neighbor rushed around the house and
asked the little lady, who was sitting
down and engaged IN knitting, with her
pistol in her work basket, whats the
matter" She exclaimed "he is sone."
He then asked, Did you shoot him3"
Eyes" she replied, and if he had kept
on coming, l would be shooting until
now" The tramp was found to be
bleeding ~profusely and it was with diff
Guilty that the flow of blood could be
stopped. He left the town a sadder and
q wiser man. having been taught a les
son in that he will not soo
forget. That game little woman is worth

ALLIGATOR ADVENTURES.

Escape.
IAlachua Advocated
Ed. Howell, who carries the Hail be.
tween this place and N~eHnansville, had
a very narrow escape from being caught
by an alligator lately. While passing
through a dense swamp, and rear
a small creek, he saw an alli-
gator stretched across the road,
apparently dead, but he was only taking
bis morning nap. Mr.. Howell thought
he would stir him up so that he could
pass. The alligator, on being aroused
from his peaceful slumber. made a hasty
retreat for The little branch, closely puE-
suedby Mr.. Howell, who was armed with
half OF a fence rail, and soon over
took and commenced to attack
him with the rail. Saufian, not liking
his treatment, showed fight, and at
tackled Mr.. Howell with deadly intent.
The ligbi, he states, lasted several mIn-
utes, and lac would have retreated, but
was unable 10 do so on account o. the
thickness Of the bushes. But the first
opportunity presenting itself vas taken
by Mr.. Howell, who was closely pursued
by the alligator. In the retreat he
stumbled and fell, and only kept the al
iigator off by vigorous kicking. He
states that he kicked him away the sec
ond time, thereby making good his es.

This YVES, indeed, a narrow escape.

abouud III great numbers in that stream
and are easily caught at this season. The
lairiy siirrGd up a hole with hoes and
potts, and seined hundreds. In churn-
ing up the water a huge alligator was dis
tufbed in his quiet repose beneath the
still waters, and he began to make trou-
bic for the fishermen. TIE fishermen
we're determined to "clean OUT the hole
and have fish or fight. Several OF the
party, led by Jim Paul and commanded
by Lawson Smith (~ho sat o. the bank
at a safe dista:ce), went into the water
to run the alligator out. Sew raj Of them
seized the gator, some by the head and
some by the body, and some got "ts!l
hold" and right out of the water they
came with the amphibious creature,
which seemed as much surprised as dis
gtsted at his own weakness and the
str. myth OF his antagonists. Out on the
land they came, but in an instant the
gator nade IL grand effort, and, with on
stroke of his powerful tail, knocked one
of the men back headlong into the
water. At this i~lnctare of affairs several
of the fishermen jumped on the back o.
the gator and held it down until tbs
Others killed it with their hoes and axes

Novel Boycofting

A novel bOycotting experiment is in
progress in the heart of England, and
ought to immortalize the name of
the chief agitator, Lady Beehive, as the
deeds of the famous Irish captain have
established his name in the language.
The WOODEN manufacturers of Bradford
are in a state of extraordinary depres-
sion. The "Fair Traders" make this
fact the center of GONE of their most
persistent demonstrations, Lady Beehive,
and a few others of the nobility, how
even, paying no attention to hostile tar
ifs, but laying the hard times for Brad
ford to changes of fashion, have patri-
o~t;cally set to work to annul the DEGREES
of Paris. Until a few years the "lustre
wools," which form the staple of the
Bradford trade, were everywhere sought
for dress goods. Then Partisan fashion
oracles declared that a dull material,
made of foreign wool, and to an indie
cribable extent in England, must take
the place of lustre fabrics. Laws pro-
~nulgated thus are more i%nviolable
than those of the Modes and Pensions,
and the English long wool manufacturers
in the opinion of my lady and her friends
languish for this reason only. 1t is sadly
to be feared that Lady Bective's success
in her efforts to persuade English women
to ignore Paris, and resume the use OF
the lustrous goods, viii not be so great
as her motives are good. Every body
knows how plainly the Princess Of
Wales clothes her family, but she has
kindly but firmly declined to take part
in a movement that bids fair to be futile.
