The total bonded Indebtedness of the State

Arkansas Democrats are contemplating
the possibility of one of those nondescript
things called an independent Democratic
movement, and they, like all others in the
South, will have TO fight against Federal
patronage and help, always thrown into the
scale in favor OF any new scheme which may
weaken the Democratic party.
A horrible accident happened near Succa-
natchie Depot, Miss, last week. i little girl
was playing at the root of a tree blown down
in storm. The tree top had been cut of.
1t sprang up and buried her completely. 1t
was some time before she was found. Her
and her little brother had been playing hide
and seek, and it is supposed she hid in the
hole made by the tres in falling.
Bishop Green, of Mississippi, who has
been presiding over a council of the Episco-
pal church at Vicksburg, is eighty-four years
old, and has been preacher for sixty-two
years. He is now and has been for thirteen
years past the chancellor of the University
of the South, and is the sole survivor of the
ten Southern bishops who founded that insti-
tuition in 1860. His mental faculties are re-
markedly vigorous and active for one of his
age.
At Columbia, Tenn, Judge McLemore, in
his cE arge, said, in warning to the pistol
toters, that he desired now TO give notice that
after this court the man convicted of this
offense would go TO Jail, no matter who he
was, as certain as grass grows and water
runs. He added that when men who were
candidates took men promiscuously-th
man and brother-into the grocery and treated
them, or put whisky at places to treat elect
ors, this was clearly within the statute, and
the law must be enforced and the grand jury
must do it.
Henry w. Grady says the extent of the
cutting which Senator Hill, of Georgia, has
been subjected is not realized by the public
One-third OF his tongue has been taken out
the entire left floor Of his mouth-the glands
in the left side of his neck. The last opera
ton was the most severe and probably sue
cessful. When he was put under ether for
it, it was intended to only take out small
lump that had hardened on the gland in his
neck. After he was insensible it was deter
mined to adopt the heroic treatment and
take out the entire gland. He was kept
under the knife two hours.
The most distressing death Of the Month
cello, Miss, cyclone was that OF Mrs.
Carroll, because of the manner in which it
was brought about. Hearing the storm ap-
preaching Mrs Carroll, with her baby in her
arms, rushed TO her husband, DIR. Carroll,
who threw his arm about her neck. At that
moment the wind blew the timbers of the
house down upon them and crushed them to
the floor, the mother with the infant and the
husband with his arm around his wife's
neck, and there he choked her to death. The
falling timbers did not seem to hurt her, but
locked the doctors arm go closely about
her neck that he could not move it. He was
conscious that he was killing her, but all his
efforts to throw off the fallen timbers were
futile. Assistance came in two hours-too
latei The spirit of his beautiful and loving
wife had taken its fight-she was in deaths
cold embrace, and the husband felt that he
was in measure the cause of her death.
For days he was almost raving maniac.
The babe was also killed-whether by the
falling timbers or was pressed 10 death by
its mother was not learned.
