JUDGE NOT.

HOW do we know what hearts have vilest sin;
How do we know?
Many, like sepulchers, are foul within
Whose outward garb is spotless as the snow,
And many may be pure we think not So
How near TO God the souls of such have been
nat mercy secret penitence may win
How do we know?
How can we tell who sinned more than we?
How can we tell?
We think our brother walked guiltily.
Judging him in self righteousness. All
Perhaps had we been driven through the
OF his untold temptations, we might be
How can we tell?
Dare we condemn the ills that others do?
Dare we condemn?
Their strength is small, their trials not few
Inc tide OF wrong is difficult to stem.
And II to us more clearly than to them
Is gwen knowledge of the good and true,
More do they need our help, and pity, too.
Dare we condemn?
God help us, and lead us day by day.
49,, God help us all
we cannot walk alone the perfect way.
EVIL allures us, tempts us, and we fall
we are but human, and our power is small
Not one of us may boast, and not a day
Rolls o. er our heads but each hath need to

Queer DOings in Prussia.

STRANGE revelations concerning the
dismal superstition still prevalent in the
rural districts of West Prussia were dis
closed in the course of DR.. Kotlevski's
recent trial at Stuhm for unlawful
practices" This person had acquired
a widespread reputation among the
peasantry as a sorcerer, Some time
ago woman afflicted by epilepsy APP
piled to him for cure. Having dag
nosed her case. he declared that she
was possessed by four devils, conjured
into her body by female neighbor.
He then proceeded to exercise these
demons, three of whom promptly quit
ted their human tenement in obedience
to his spells. The fourth, however,
laughed his lamentations to scOrn. This
fendish recalcitrance led him to the
discovery that, in order to expel the OBJ
stinate demon, it would be necessary that
the epileptic woman should swallow a
draught of the witch's blood. In order
to obtain this nostrum he betook him
self to the dwelling of the woman, by
him accused of witchcraft, and beat her
until she lay senseless on the floor.
But for the interference of resolute
neighbor he would have murdered his
victim. Arraigned for this crime before
a Prussian tribunal, he declared in open
court that he had done nothing more
than his duty to his patient, and that
he had not. only frequently ridded
possessed persons of their fiendish in
mates by similar means, but had often
seen and spoken to devils with whom
he had thus dealt. He was sentenced
to four months Imprisonment by the
tribunal of Stuhm.

A Booming Business at Turkeys
Mills.

The thoroughly enterprising firm
Of J. F. Goodson & Co., merchants,
at Turkeys Mills, are doing the most
extensive business now of any coun-
try store in this section. Their
house has been thronged with GUS
toners for weeks past. Last week
they bought and shipped $4,000
pounds Of dried fruit, besides hand
ling quantities OF other products.
They are wide-awake, popular men,
and have the confidence of the peo-
pie. Their stock of goods is always
large, fresh and varied they pay
cash for their goods, and hence have
the ability to cut prices down to the
closest living profit. To our read
ers in the vicinity of Turkeys Mills
we say, you can do no better than
give your patronage to J. F. Good
son & Co.

oradO, whittier they went, about
three weeks ago, to capture William
Holt, formerly of this place, who was
imp Heated in the counterfeiting
cases which led to the arrest Of Pax
ton and others here some weeks ago.
Holt was found and recognized by
Larkin, on the Both of August, at
White Pine, about 270 miles beyond
Denver. AS Larkin and Van Horn
were returning with him, they were
attacked by some parties lying in
ambush, and Holt was released.

4 BRUTAL MVRDER

Monday afternoon, of last week,
three negroes, named Nit Hodges,
Henry McBee and Sam Hodges,
went to Black Oak Ridge, five miles
from Knoxville, where squad OF
hands were at work in a cut on the
Knoxville & Ohio Railroad, and at
tempted to arrest Jim Mcfarland,
whom claimed to have a warrant
for, on the charge of inhuman treat
ment to his wife, sister of the
Hodges. Mcfarland resisted, when
one of the Hodges procured rope
for the purpose of tying Mcfarland.
Mr.. Gleason, the overseer Of the
squad, ordered them out of the cut,
as they were interfering with the
other hands. Mcfarland still re-
fused to go, but was at last prevailed
on by Gleason to go out. When they
reached the mouth of the cut Sam
Hodge suddenly threw the rope
over Netherlands neck, and attempt
ed to pull him down. At the same
instant Jim struck Sam a fearful
blow on the head with arock which
he held in his hand. The two men
clineheG, and terrific struggle en-
sued the men rolled down the en-
bankment, and Mcfarland was
about to get the best of the fight,
when the other Hodge and McBee
ran to his assistance, they finally
overpowered and tied Mcfarland.
The four then started for Knoxville.
when Mcfarland, who had his hands
crossed and tied, struck Sam Hodges
in the face. Nit Hodges then raised
his gun, at word given by Sam,
fired, the ball passing through Nc
Farland's head, killing him instant
ly. McBee was arrested at the time,
but the Hodges succeeded in making
their escape to Jefferson county,
where they gave themselves up to
civil officer last Wednesday morn
ing and were taken to Knoxvilleth that
evening. The probability is strong
that the majesty Of the law will be
vindicated by an exhibition of hemp
pulling at Knoxville in the near
future.

SUICIDE At TALBOTS

The community at Talbot's and
vicinity were startled last Wednes-
day morning by intelligence that
Mrs. - Franklin had been found
hanging by the neck, m an out
house on her husbands premises,
cold in death. The deceased, who
was lady of high social standing
the wife of e. Franklin, Esq, and
mother Of young Mr.. Franklin who
is engaged in business with Mess %.
Rogers, Cook & Co., Knoxville, had
for some time past been suffering in
tensely from a large wen or tumor
which had formed upon her throat.
and was rapidly growing larger, to
such an extent as to produce appre-
hension Of death by suffocation. It
is supposed that the unfortunate la
dy had brooded over her affection
until in a fit of mental alteration she
committed the rash act which ter
minated her sufferings and her life
at the same time. Her family have
the sympathy of a large circle of
friends.

The future OF the school and the
destiny of your daughters is, under
the blessing Of God, in your hands.

Monday, September 5, aged about
% years, after a protracted illness.

family burying ground, near his ia
theirs residence. he began in ear

of that paper about year ago and
purchased the office of the cambridge
WdtchmdR, which he conducted up
to the time Of his prostration with
creditable industry and usefulness.
Our personal acquaintance with the
deceased was very slight, having on
ly on one occasion the pleasure of
his company but he gave evidence
of good newspaper qualifications
and possessed traits of character
that won the esteem and respect of
those who knew him. He had been
married only few months, and the
bereaved young wife has the sincere
sympathy of all in the loss Of an
affectionate husband, cut off in the
flower of youth, and at the moment
when prosperity and happiness were

The drouth still continues without
any visible indication Of a change.
The sky has become as brass, and
the earth parched and baked with
intense heat. Vegetation is crisped
and dead, and the end is not yet.
Many cisterns, wells and springs are
exhausted, and running streams are
in manyinstances almost dry. Ponds
have disappeared and stock has to
be driven to running streams for
water. Fences and fields are daily
being fred by passing trains. Gov.
Senter, near Panther Springs, in
sormed us last week that he sends
his hands to the railroad to inspect
his fences after the passage Of al
most every train, and notwithstand-
ing this precaution, large proper
ton of his fencing contiguous to the
railroad has been destroyed by fire.
This drouth is not confined to this
locality. 1t is wide spread, extend
ing from ocean to ocean and from
the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and
in some sections more disastrous
than it is here. The summary of
news we publish elsewhere of the
forest fires is appalling.
