JEFFERSON.

The Sunday School concert at the M:
E. Chapel last Sunday night, was well
attended, although the weather was un-
favorable, and all seemed delighted with
the exercises.
Mrs. Schnacke and daughter Kate,
left here last Tuesday for Millbank, Da-
kota, where they will make their home.
King, the Watertown burglar convict
ed last week, created little confusion
in the jail last Monday afternoon by try
ing to set that institution on fire. He
forgot the building was fire proof and
that he stood in more danger from sutto-
cation by smoke than anything else. He
undoubtedly tried to cause a panic,
thinking in the rush he might slip out
and escape. The officers smelt his little
game as we'll as the smoke and check
mated him. He will probably get three
years more on his sentence for his smart
ness.
The marshal arrested on Tuesday a
petty thief named Reynolds for stealing
flower pots from DR.. Munich, and JUS
tice Krebs sentenced him to forty-tiVe
days in the county Jail. 1t was the Sec
ond case of petty larceny against him.

AN ARKANSAS INCIDENT.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Sept. 13, 1883.
Il desire to say word about Brother
E. Gamble, local preacher in our
church, who lived in Hampstead county,
in this state, and who was, on the 1st of
dog. From what have been able to
learn from friends who lived in that com.
munity, white man went into a colored
mans field and struck the colored mans
daughter and killed her, and went off for
a while. The colored men armed them
selves and went to arrest the white man,
and he made war with them and:killed one
of their number. Then the colored men
killed the white man in trying to take
him. That night the white people of
that and of the adjoining county came
together, armed themselves, and on
the next morning started out to take
vengeance on the colored people Of that
part of the country. The Colored people
had come together, to make arrangements
to bury their brother and friend who fell
a victim to death the day before. About
200 white men,! all we'll armed, rode up
and commenced to fire on 1.-THE colored
men, killing three or four of them, and
among those killed was Brother E. Gam
BILE. Brother E. Gamble was very inof.
fensive man. He attended to his own
business. He is great loss to the
church there. He left wife and broth
er and other relatives to mourn his loss.
There were six or eight colored persons
killed in that trouble. Nothing has been
done that know of, but about eighty of
the colored men were arrested and driY-
en- to jail like cattle to the slaughter.
The last [ heard of the matter was an ap-
peal had been made to the Governor for
supplies to feed their victims. This, of
course. is all what will be done, except
send good large number of colored men
to the state prison, as is always the case.
"Watchman, what of the night?" When
shall justice be given the colored race of
this and other Southern States?
Yours respectfully,
@. w SANS.

AN ELECTRICAL DIsCovERY.-It is
stated that new electrical continuance
has been perfected by Mr.. A. st. George,
the inventor of telephone which bears
his name. This invention is really sup
Elemental to the telephone, and will
enable every description of conversation
carried OH through the instrument to be
not only recorded, but produced at any
future time. Briefly stated, Mr.. St.
Georges invention may be thus describ-
ed. A circular plate of glass is coated
with collodion and made sensitive as a
Photographic plate. This is placed in
dark box in which is a slit to admit a
ray of light. In front of the glass is
telephone diaphragm, which, by its vi
brations, opens and closes a small shut
ter through which a beam of light is con-
stantly passing and imprinting a dark
line on the glass. Vibrations of the
shutter cause s,the dark line to vary in
thickness according to the tones of the
voice. The glass plate is reVolved by
clock work, and the conversation as it
leaves the telephone is recorded on the
sensitive plate, the imprinted words
spoken being fixed as is done in photog-
raphy. The plate can be brought
forward afterwards, and when replaced
in the machine and connected with dis
tant telephone, will, when set in motion,
give back the original conversation

The CHOLERA. Egyptian cholera
passed its maxium with the close of Au-
gust aud entered into its period of dimin-
ution with the beginning of September.
No less thag 40, 900 victims were believed
to have died before the first of the month
1t is true that the official dist recorded
only $4,000 deaths from the pestilence,
but well-informed authorities regard this
figure as necessarily far below the truth.
The French scientific report gives the
following list OF deceases up to the 18th
of August at the larger towns and cities:
Cairo, 1922; Damietta, 1923; Chibin--
el-Korn, LII; Mansourah, 1885;
Charkieh, S27; Ghizeh, 1856; MahaIlah-
el-Kebir, 846; Gabieh, 858; Tantah, 900;
Menonfeh, 358; Samanoud, 347; Minich,
S32; Zagazig, 295; Alexandria, 208;
Rosetta, 206; Damanhour, 152; Stout,
1872: Ismailia; SO; Suez, 80; Port Said,
70; Ramleh, 4.
However, the plague appeared in up
ward of 200 towns and villages, and a
very large number of deceases among the
country people cannot have been register
ed In spite of all sanitary precautions
the English army of occupation lost 104
men by cholera, including three officers.
The great international danger seems to
be over-temporarily, at all events.-Neoo

BEECHER ON FIFTH AvENUE.-I look
ed at Beecher to-day as he stood with
his. hands behind him looking at some
engravings in Goupil's window in Fifth
avenue Standing about five feet eight
inches high, with hair perfectly white
and long, he has a keen, kindly blue eye
and full face with heavy features, red
dened and toughened by exposure to the
air, and as handsome mouth as was
ever chiseled in marble. His body is
heavy and very full; his hands short and
fat. He walks rapidly and with tre-
mendous push. 1t chanced that ne turn
ed into Broadway, and, as he walked sew
eral blocks with friend, I followed him
I don't think its any exaggeration to say
that, in a walk of half mile, he bowed

more than half dozen of all the hun
dreds who failed to recognize him.-JOe

"REMINISCENCES OF ROBERT
EMMETT.

Eighty years ago last Friday Robert
Emmet was hanged in Dublin, but this
sad fate has given him Immortality among
the martyrs of Liberty. His age was
only %, but he had displayed his patri-
otic energy five years earlier,s and at Is
was numbered among the men of 1898"
Emmet's death awoke the poetic genius
of Tom Moore, who thus refers to the
blighted hopes of his betrothed, Miss
Curran, daughter of the distinguished
advocate: -
She is far from the land where her young hero
And lovers around her are signing;
But coldly she turns from their gaze and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.
She sings the wild song of her dear native
plains,
All, little they think who delight in her strains,
That the heart of the minstrel is breaking.
He had lived for his love, for his country he
They were all that to life had entwined him !;
Nor soon shall the tears of his country be dried,
Nor long will his love stay behind him.
The inspiration of the bard of Erin
was peculiarly adapted to the utterance
of national sorrow, and as Emmett in his
last speech had asked that no man should
write his epitaph while his country re-
mained in bondage, Moore exquisitely
throws this sad thought into verse:
Oh breathe not his name, let it sleep in the
shade
Where cold and unhonored his relics are laid;
Sad, silent and dark be the tears that we shed
AS the night dew that falls on the grass DER his
head.
But the night dew that falls, though in silence
it Weeps,
shall brighten with verdure the grave where he
sleeps,
And the tear that We shed, though in secret 1t
rolls
Shall long keep his memory green in our sSuls.

Judge jeremiah Black is universally
acknowledged to be the most prosy mai
that ever argued case before q bench;
but while he was arguing the McGafra
han case before the Supreme Court, il
Washington some years ago, the bencl
got even with him.
One day, while speaking on some mo
ton, Black discovered at the close of {
two hours Grafton that the entire bench
including the Chief Justice, was sounC
asleep. Much incensed, he gathered VI
his papers and left the room. Meeting
the Chief Justice at q dinner at tbs
Secretary of States that evening Blacl
angrily commented on the occurrence.
"Why, my dear Judge" said Mr
Chase, with . surprised expression, ~
thought you would be the last man on
earth to object to such . thing. The
fact was that all the Justices were 50 fa.
ti9ued from the Presidents reception
last night that this morning We consulted
together and agreed TO hear You on some
motion or other, 80. that We all could en-
Joy good, square nap, We supposed
that you had been on the bench for &c
long that you'd know how it was your
self"
"The devil you did I" said Black. !.
ayes, but you needn't alarm yourself,
my dear Black. The shorthand reporter
made full memorandum of your re-
marks"
"Did, eh?" snapped the Judge. "Why,
he was asleep, too!'
"You don't tell mel' exclaimed the
Chief Justice, much yexed. 81 always
did distTust that fellow. In that case,
my dear Judge, We will have to rely on

THE ALHANnRA EXCURSION

The complimentary boating excur-
sion on the Cottonwood, given last week
by Miss Ida Moore and Sam Muir
ply in honor of the ALEXANDRA club,
proved most enjoyable affair, barring
an exciting mishap which occurred on
the return trip down the river, between
Randolph's and Soden's landings. The
absence of moonlight necessitated the
use of lamps, which were placed ON the
roof of the Forest Queen, just above the
bow Of the little craft, to enable the cap
tain, w. T. Sodcn, To steer the boat safe
ly to its destination through the curves
with which the river abOunds. While
the party were singing and luXuriating
in the delightful evening breezes, one
OF the lamps was upset, and in
an instant the burning oil poured
down into the midst of the group of la
dies and gentlemen sitting in the bow of
the boat. The ladies began TO Shrek
anu u stampede was made for the rear of
the boat, and 10y what seemed to the
observer almost miracle the
entire party, save Will Dale, who
was burned slightly ON sihc wrist, es-
| capped without injury. Miss Kate
Hurts dress was completely saturated
with oil and was ignited. but the fire was
promptly extinguished by some of the
gentlemen who were near her. Mr. So
den, with much presence of mind,
stopped the boat and seizing
an old can which happen
ed 10 be lying in the bottom oil the boat,
threw water upon the burning roof and
soon succeeded IN quenching the
flames
Prior TO this occurrence everyt hing
had passed off IN the most delightful
manner. The party had gone up the
river some miles and between The en-
chanting music furnished by the A!haal-
bras, and u tempting luncheon provided
by Miss Moore and Mrs g 5 Cross
who assisted IN all the preparations tor
the excursion, but who, we greatly re-
greet to state was detained at home by
illness-thc enjoyment OF the party WAS
complete, and the announcement had
just been made by Miss Moore that ar
fragments had been consummatcd for
dancing IN the mill ON the return of the
party To the landing. when the accident
occurred. Owing 90 the fight expert
ehced by the eXcursiunisIs, this part of
the program was relinquished and the
company repaired, instead, 10 the pleas
ant grounds surrounding Mr. Sodrn's
house, where seats and lights were pro-
vided, and the remainder of the evening
was agrecably spent oy the party in
listening tn "A number OF beautiful
selections by the Alhambra club.
The preparations were ON scale t,'

connection with the lamp. Miss Moore

their behalf, and they can rest assured
that their eff,nts are full appreciated
