A Brave Little Girl.

Montezuma Weekly.
a gentleman living near Hender-
son, while ploughing few days ago,
sent ten year old daughter to the
house for his gun, for the purpose of
shooting some rice birds that were in
the field. Returning with the gun,
the brave little heroine was attacked
in the road 10y an infatuated bull, and,
instead of running and screaming and
thus urging the beast on, as most 9TH
er children would have done, she stood
her ground, and as the beast advanced
she let go the contents of both barrels
into his face. The beast seemingly in
a state Of INVESTIGATION, ran here, there
and everywhere IN search of the child,
against fences; trees, etc, but, climbs
ing the fence hastily, tie little girl
managed to escape. She ran and told
her father Of the accident, who, hear
ing the report of the gun, was rushing
to her to ascertain the cause OF the
shooting. With the assistance of
two colored men, the now cowed ami.
NAL was driven home, and it was
discovered that both Of his eyes had
been shot OUT.

The Low Tax Democratic State
Executive Committee, at its meeting
last week in Nashville, adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The decision of our Su
preme Court in what is known as the
1908 case has finally settled and fixed
the principles which have heretofore
divided the Democratic party in the
State; and
Whereas, The only remaining
difference existing within the party is
one simply as to the amount to be
paid on the public debt, and recog-
nizing in the great mass of the Dem
ocratic party an honest desire to have
the question settled, and finally and
forever removed from the arena of
political discussion, and to this end the
disposition among low,tax Democrats
to meet their fellow Democrats upon
some middle ground, upon which
each, conceding something of ex-
IRENE opinions, for the sake of har-
mony and success, all may honorably
stand;
Therefore, he it resolved, That the
chairman of this committee be in
structed 10 call a convention of the
Democratic party, in conjunction with
the Chairman of the Executive Com>
mittee of the other wing of the party
aFsuch time as may be agreed upon.
Second. That in the event the
committee of the other wing of the
party refuses to issue joint call, then
the chairman of this committee is in
structed to call convention of the
Democratic party to meet in the city
Of Nashville, May 18th, 1882, to
nominate candidates for Governor, etc.
Third. That the people in their
county meetings called for the cleo
ton of delegates be and they are
hereby requested to express by resolu.
ton their sense Of the basis upon
which the debt should he settled, and
also express by resolution their sense
as TO whether the basis of settlement
that may DE proposed by the Legisla-
ture shall be referred back and sub
mitted to direct and separate vote
of the people.

How Conspicuously Consistent.

We are told that it would lower
the dignity of the State to negotiate
with her creditors. Will you please
tell us why? What is the difference
in principle between the state as a debt
or and private individual as a debt
or? You concede that tits wong for
the individual to fix an arbitrary basis
on which he will pay part of his
debt without consulting his creditor,
but If the State proposes to pay one
half, one third or one tenth of her
debt, or any other amount which
"sweet harmony" dictates, and to re-
pudiate the balance, it is honest and
legitimate for the State is sovereign.

American Newspapers in 1882.

The American Newspaper Directo-
ry, which will be issued next month
by Geo. p. Rowell IL Co., of New
York, will contain the names of 1851
periodicals in the United States and
Territories, which is gain of 344 in
the year just passed. The number of
daily papers has increased in a some
what larger proportion, and is now
represented by total of 996 against
92l in 1881. The largest increase
has been in New York-10 dailies,
20 of all sorts. Illirois and Missouri
show a percentage Of gain which is
even greater, while Colorado leads all
others in the percentage of increase,
both Of daily and weekly issues. Cal
ifornia, Nebraska, Nevada Oregon,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont,
and West Virginia have fallen behind
1881 in the total number of periodicals
issued. In Georgia, Maine and Mas
sachusetts the suspensions have ex-
actl y counterbalanced the new ven>
lures. In every State not mentioned
above, and in the Territories, there
has been an increase.

a He'll Up0sn sea.

There is an old phrase which
comprehends q great deal of mis-.
cry, and which was embodied in
the few suggestive words, "a hell
upon earth" The facts disclosed
in the case Of the ship Gatherer,
Captain Sparks, as already pub
lished, are enough to make the blood
of a real man run cold. Really,
this case is complicated with incl.
dents Of indecency which make it
do ubtful whether man, in y state
of nature, even in the nineteenth
century, has approached the dig
nifty of the dog or the horse. There
are circumsta nces, which cannot
be dwelt upon, in the history of
this vessel, the Gatherer, which
reproduce, with even infamous ac-
cessories of cruelty, the story of
Sodom and Gomorrab. Fancy q
cruel and dirty despot on the deck
Of vessel riding on the high seas,
with three or fcur brutal coadju-
tore, whose sole business is to bru-
taiize and degrade the men who
are under him! Mere mutilations
OF person, even to the stamping
out of the eyes of a poor youth, are
nothing to the terrible infsmies Of
blood and oppression which were
incidents of the experience of the
sailors on the Gatherer. The car
of Juggerpaut is merciful in its
hard dispensations when compared
to the riot Of cruelty and horror
which this Captain Sparks and his
bullies of mates enacted upon the
helpless crew of that doomed ship.
The Juggernaut ordeal merely
grinds the body, but leaves q hui
man being, crushed but uot de-
graded. The case of the Gatherer,
while its details are unfit for pub.
lication, comes to US with q most
impressive call to save poor hu.
manity from a constantly recur-
ring "hell upon sea-" We really
think that, when a nautical wretch,
like this Captain Sparks, OF the
Gatherer, and his bloody and bru.
tai mates, reach the port of a civ.
ilized country, they ought to be
burned alive, and the ceremonial
ought to be one Of rejoicing. It is
highly to the credit of United
States Commissioner, Mr.. H. T.
Lee, Of Los Angeles, that these
marine miscresnts will probably
suffer the extreme penalties of the
law. The first mate, one of the
most remorseless brutes of the
gang, has, for the moment, made
his escape, but there is little doubt
of his recapture. Il would be q
calamity il 80 much as one OF
these monsters should fail to re-
ceive that measure of his deserts
which a humane people too often
fail to inflict upon petty tyrantl
compared to whom Moro was 8
