A WRECKED LIFE.
A Miserable Young Girl who
Threatens Suicide.

A young woman entered the sta
tionhouse last Saturday and asked
that the police recover her trunk
from the matron Of the Mission Home
on Alabama street, who refused tore
linquish it. She was about eighteen
years of age, pretty and black,eyed
and clad in rags. Her left side had
once been paralyzed, and her foot was
drawn up so that she put it to the
floor with difficulty. The clerk recOg-
nized her as Clara Gordon, a former
inmate of the home who had escaped,
and ordered her sent back in charge
of an officer.
"T won't stay if you send me, she
said.
"And why not2" asked the officer.
1--WE got something in my trunk
that will assist me to escape
whats that?'
Poison was the answer. "lfyOu
send me back l swear to kill myself"
That she was in earnest, at least for
the moment, could be seen from the
resolute expression of her face, though
a tear glittered in her eye and her chin
quivered. Her. threats were disre-
garded, however, and she was sent
back to the home.
The story of her life is a sad one.
Both parents died during the fever Of
rs, Falling under the bad influence,
she lost her character and soon drifted
into the lowest walks of life. Her
brother, a young nan not more than
nineteen, used every endeavor to keep
her at home, but she persisted in run
ming away, and at last he was COM
PEELED to ask the assistance of the
police. In passing the door Of a low
den the night before, he had met her
face to face as she came down the
stairs intoxicated. She was sent to
the home, but escaped through a hole
in the real wall, and has since been
living with a woman of low repute in
the old Gayoso house. Her brother
has passed away in the meantime,
leaving her entirely alone, a miserable
wreck, and With the firm resolve to
end her own life.

The Sheriff TeIegraphs the Gov
ernOr for Armed Assistance.

Nashville American, 23d.l
Governor Hawkins received a tele-
gram from Judge Cantrell, at Lebanon,
last evening, saying that the sheriff was
fearful that a mob might take Coomer,
the murderer of Alexander, from the
Jail at that place and lynch him, and
asking him to instruct the Howard re-
serves to be in readiness to prevent it.
The governor telegraphed to the COM
pany as requested and also to the
sheriff telling him to do whatever was
required to enforce obedience to the
law.
The American sent for a special
and received the following at8:50 pm:
II do not think there will be any
mob violence"
Coomcr is the man who killed an old
gentleman named Alexander with an
Ak in Wilson county some time ago.
A few days since he sent a letter to
Judge Cantrell asking him to appoint
attorneys to defend him in his case, to
come up before the Wilson county cir
cult court next week. Judge Cantrell
thereupon appointed Messrs. Martin
and Gribble to defend him.

One Of the most vigorous of prose-

the other day, all on account of an
eight-dollar saddle.
On Monday last a Mr.. G. A. Nor

Arkansas, and came to Memphis. A
few hours after they had left Little
Rock, Mr.. Cribs, a stockyard keeper,
with whom Norton had put up the
night before his departure, missed a
saddle, and ascertaining that Norton
was seen with it on the train, followed
him to Memphis. Arriving in Mem

son he met on his tour was Novton.

The Pleasant Impression IL Made
Upon the Iowa HunlOriSt.

Twenty years ago Mark Twain, the
humorist, was a pilot on the steamer
William NJ. Morrison, plying between
St. Louis and New Orleans. BE spent
several years under Captain Bart.
Bowen, Beck Jolly, and other we'll
known living and dead river men, in
trying to learn the torturous windings,
the crossings, and other mysteries Of
the great water route, and he finally
won his spurs by receiving a license.
1t did not take very long, however,
for Mark to find out that plotting was
not his forte. He drifted from the
river to dry land. Joined the Missouri
rebels, under Price, did not serve
many months, but eventually wandered
westward into Montana. There he
struck it rich, in a literary sense,
though he made no money until he
journeyed east and started on a voyage
to holy land, from which limo
cents Abroad" was written. Since
then Mark Twain has been
in big luck, to use his
own words. 1t may not be amiss
to state that the first literary produc-
ton Mark Twain ever wrote was
printed in the river column of the
New Orleans Crescent, about 1858,
when there was a great overflow Of the
lower river valleys, and at time when
Mr.. yirginius G. Dentzel, now of the
New Orleans Times, was river editor

THE POPULATION AND WEALTH OF
TENNESSEE.

According to the census of 1880, as
officially announced, the population Of
Tennessee is 1,542, 463. In 1870 it
was 1,25S,520, an increase Of 2S3, 943
in ten years. This does very well for a
state that has received no great influx
ofimmigration, anda as we are occasion
ally reminded is repudiating state.
A gain Of twenty-five per cent 10 ten
years shows a very healthy increase.
This is growing fast enough for the
general welfare, but is considerably
out Of proportion to our increase
in wealth, which, according to
the last assessment, is rather on
the decrease. This is doubtless more
apparent than real, as the people are
investing more in government secu-
rites and other. personal property,
which cannot be reached BY the
assessor, than formerly. If the state
debt were settled at a reasonable rate,
say not higher at the outside than 5O4
and the rate Of state taxation once
permanently fixed, much hidden prop.
erty would probably be uncovered and
our actual wealth could be more
nearly Appropriated. The increase
of taxation which must accompany
any genuine settlement of the state
debt, would not, as some imagine,
bring more than usual muscle, skilled
labor and capital to the state, but it
would quiet the public mind and en-
able all classes tomake calculations for
the future. Tax payers would know ex-
actly what to expect, and prepare for
it. The uncertainty that exists dis
tracts and Injuries our domestic inter.
ests more Than we would feel under a
slight but permanent increase of taxa
ton. 1t devolves upon the high
credit democrats, who carried the
state in November, to settle the debt
speedily. If they fail, the people will
force them to a strict accountability
Two years hence there will be nc
presidential boom 10 ride 10 on the
question will be presented upon it
merits, and all false issues will be ex
cluded.
