WRONG MAN.

A pretty young woman 10 Topeka
got an anonymous note the other
day, signed 'Admirer.' The writer
protested his ardent affection, and
requested the young lady to meet
him at a certain corner that night.
She handed the note to her mother,
who was reused to high pitch OF
indignation by the fellows presumP'
ton, and who proposed to go to the
appointed trystiug place herself
she was on time, clothed 10 her
daughters dress and veil. A FASH
ionably dressed young map was there
before her. He was leaning against
the fence, and occasionally looking
down the street. as if expecting
somebody. Without wasting any
time on preliminaries, the fond moth
er seized the young man in au un
relenting clutch, and dashed him
mercilessIy with "black 81 axe
whip which she drew from the folds
of her dress. What might have
happened had policeman not arr
rived cannot be guessed. Explana
tons followed, and it was soon made
plain that the mother had terribly
whipped an innocent young man
who had merely paused for no
ment to wait for friend to Join from
a neighboring drug store. The real
letter writer arrived on the scene
before the whipping was over, but
wisely disappeared before the situa
ton was cleared up.

PERFIDIoUs WRETCH.

A striking instance of the depth
to which masculine beartlessness can
descend has Just come to light in
Jacksonville, Ill. A young man
named II. M. Coleman, a school
teacher of two years standing, last
Wednesday married an estimable
young lady, resident of Jackson
Vile, named Miss Lizzie Sanderson
The wedding came off with great
eclat, and predictions of the lifelong
happiness of the couple were plenti-
full. They left for Chicago the same
evening and registered at the At
laptic hotel, on Van Buren, street.
Filled with faith in the trustworthi
ness of her bridegroom the young
lady banded over to him nearly
81, 900 of her private funds to take
care of for her The way he took
care of it was to put it in bis wallet,
and, day afterwsrd, telling his
bride that he would be back in few
minutes, prsnced out of The hotel and
failed to return. The young lady
waited in vain for her husband to
appear, and on Saturday instituted a
search for him. 1t was subsequently,
found that the conscienceless scamp
had stolen bis wife'S baggage and
left for unknow regions. The de
serted wife has returned to her home
almost crazy at her loss and should
Coleman return, suddenly he would
likely meet with some pretty rough
treatment.

The Blackshear News ADD Signal
says: "We have received very
meagre particulars of a difficulty
which occurred one night last week
down about the Cow Hause, in the
lower edge of our county, between
two white women, a Miss Roxy
Wilson and Miss Smith, aunt to
Miss Wilson. They both attended
a frolic, and during the evening a
dispute arose between them, which
gradually increased until both were
thoroughly inAamed with anger and
ready to do mischief What the
cause of the dispute was we do not
know, but it seems that brother of
Miss Wilson's, who was standing
near, became interested 10 the quar-
rel, and sharpening his knife, hand
ed it to his sister. With the knife
in her hand she sprang at her aunt
like an enraged tigress, and at the
first stroke she made almost disem>
boweled her. The next stroke laid
bare huge cash in her breast, and
she fell fainting to the floor. Our
informant stated that Miss Smith was
not expected to live. We have
heard of no arrests.
