Terrified Prisoners.

Three of the four men under arrest at Taylor
vile, H., on suspicion Of having been concerned
in the outrage on Miss Bond on the 29th of
June have been held for trial in the circuit
court, bail being fixed at 81, 900 each in the
cases of John Montgomery and Lee Pettis, and
$4,000 in the case of Emanuel Clement. On
the night Of lhe 18th mob assembled at the
doors of the Jail and demanded that the pris-
oners be delivered up to them. In order to
save the property from being demolished the
jailer delivered up the keys and the accused
were soon in the hands Of an excited multitude.
Ropes were placed around the necks of the ter
ritied prisoners, who firmly protested that they
were innocentof the fendish crime with which
they were charged. After being hauled up
several times and nearly strangled by the mob
in the hope Of extorting confession from
them, the men stl persisted in their innocence.
Sober second thought then assumed control
over the lawless spirits of the assembled far
mers, and they conveyed the men back to the
cells. The prisoners suffer no serious injuries
from the terrible nights experience.

LOngfelIOw and the Children.

Longfellow loved all children, and
had word for them whenever he
met them.
At a concert, going early with her
father, a little girl espied Mr.. Longs
fellow sitting alone, and begged that
she might go and speak to him. Her
father himself a stranger, took the
liberty of introducing his little
daughter Edith to the poet.
Edith said Mr.. Longfellow.
tenderly. ''Ah! 1 have an Edith.
too, but my baby Edith is twenty
years old" And he seated the child
beside him, taking her hand in his,
and making her promise to come
and see him at his house in Cam>
bridge.
''What is the name of your sled
my boy? he said to a small lad
who came tugging one up the road
toward him, on winter morning.
Its .Evangeline.'" MIR. Long
fellow wrote .Evangeline. Did yor
ever see MIR. Longfellow ?" answered
the little fellow, as he ran by, doubt
less wondering at the smile on the
face of the pleasant gray-haireo
gentleman.
Prof. Monti, who witnessed the
pretty scene tells the story of a lit

tie girl who last Christmas inquired
the way to the poets house, and
asked if she could just step inside
the yard; and he relates how Mr..
Longfellow, being told she was there,
went to the door and called her in
and showed her the ''old clock on the
stairs" and many other interesting
things about the house, leaving his
little guest with beautiful memories
! of that Christmas day to carry all
through her life. This was charac-
teristic of the poets hospitality,
delicate and courteous and thought
full to all who crossed mis- threshold
1t is often said, and with reason,
that we Americans do not think
enough OF manners-that politeness
behavior which comes from genuine
sympathy and delicate perception
of others feelings. Certainly our
young. people might look to Mr..
LongfellOw as a model in this res
pect. He was perfect gentleman,
In the best sense of that term, al
ways considerate and quick to see
where he might do kindness, or say
a pleasant word.
A visitor one day told him in con,
versation of young lady relative,
or friend, who had sent to Mr.. Long,
fellow the message that ne was the
one man in the world she wanted to
see.
Tell her" said the poet, instantly,
''that she is the one young lady in
the world whom [ want to see."
Some young girls, from a distant
part of the country, having been
about Cambridge sightseeing,
walked to Mr.. Longfellow's house,
and venturing within the gate, sat
down upon the grass. He passed
them there, and turning back, said:
"Young ladies, are you uncom-
fortably seated? Won't you come
into the house?'
They were overjoyed at the invita-
ton, and on entering, Mr.. Longfel-
low insisted upon their taking lunch
with him. They saw that the table
was set for four, and were beginning
to be mortified at finding themselves
possible intruders upon other guests.
They SO expressed themselves to
their hosts, who put them at ease at
once, saying that it was only his
regular lunch with his children, and
that they would be happy to wait.
One of a group of school girls
whom he had welcomed to his house
sent him, as a token of her graft
ttlde, an iron pen made from fetter
Of the Prisoner of Chillon, and a bit
of wood from the frigate ''Constitu~
tion," ornamented with precious
stones from three continents. He
wrote his thanks in poem which
must be very precious to the giver-
Beautiful Helen of Maine to
whom he says of her gift that it is

In his last issue the editor of
Houk's Knoxville organ tries to
create the impression that his master
is entitled to credit for the payment
of certain claims fled before the
Qaartermaster-General, a list of
which is given. 1t is untrue, as this
editor knows. To show that Houk
had nothing to do with them we
quote is own language as it appears
III the Congressional Record of March
10th, 1882, as follows:
MIR. Houk-Under the act of July
4, 1864, loyal persons living in the
loyal States, and also in the State of
Tennessee, and in two or three coun-
ties of the State of Virginia, were
authorized to file their claims in the
Quartermaster-G Generals Office. The
claims so filed are acted upon by the
QuartermasteroGe and in doing
so he sends to the various neighbor
hoods where the claims originated
to investigate their justice and corr
rectness, as well as the loyalty of the
claimant himself. After Thu investi-
cation has been had through the
machinery of the Quartermaster
Generals Office, the Quartermaster-
General then makes his award to the
Comptroller and the other account
ing officers of the Treasury. The
action of the Treasury Department
IS then referred to the committee on
war claims. 1t has been the practice
for that committee to report back to
the House a bill carefully prepared
making the necessary appropriation
to meet the awards rendered by the
Quartermaster-G General and the acs
counting officers of the Treasury.
This bill, will add, Mr.. Speaker,
contains nothing more than the nee
essary appropriations to carry out
the Judgment of the Quartermaster-
General aud the accounting officers
of the Treasury, Not one dollar is
appropriated which has not been al
lowed by those accounting officers
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois-Has
the committee on war claims made
any investigation Of the justice of
these claims? !?
Mr.. Houk-Yes, sir; the committee
on war claims, under the supervision
of its chairman, and by the assist
ance of the clerk of the committee,
together with the help of a clerk
from the Treasury Department sent
specially to assist in that investiga-
ton and adjustment of these mat
ters, has carefully gone through
them to see whether there were any
mistakes and to prepare the bill
carefully, so that it should not pro,
vide Tor anything else but the allow
ances made by the accounting offs
GERS of the Treasury.
Mr.. Townsend, of Illinois-Is it
reported by unanimous consent?
Mr.. Houk-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Springer-Did the committee
examine any of the evidence on
which these claims were allowed?
Dir. Houk-We ran through the
evidence casually to get the names
and amount, and in some instances,
to verify the loyalty of the claimant
when there was any doubt, but as a
rule We acted on the adjudication OF
the quartermaster general and the
accounting officers of the Treasury.
