THE AWFUL FATF.
ora Girl Who Ran Away From Her
Family Out Of Pure DeviItry.

Fifteen years ago the daughter Of rich
and prosperous man, living in fine style
on Fifth avenue, New York, went out in
carriage, ostensibly on shopping ex-
pedition. AT Stewards store she let the
carriage, and her coachman waited for
over two hours, until finally, becoming
anxious, he made inquiries. The young
lady had disappeared, and though great
deal OF money was spent and much effort
made to discover her, there was no trace.
Ten years passed, and the detective who
had worked on the case very faithfully
and anxiously, rose by degrees to
the rank of police captain. One cold
night, Just after Christmas, four or five
OF his officers entered the station with
eight or ten intoxicated women in their
custody. One or two were crying over
their arrest and the prospect OF a prison;
others were fierce in their oaths at the
interference of the police with their orgie,
while others again were sulky. Stand
ing a little apart from the group of pris-
oners the captain noticed tall woman
OF fabout thirty, and he saw that she had
once been beautiful, though now her
face was disfigured by bruise on the
cheek and welt under her eye. There
was, however, an air OF refinement about
the woman that attracted the police
captain, and he eyed her curiously while
the sergeant recorded the names of the
prisoners. Suddenly the woman beck
oned to him.
Captain, do you know me?' was her
question.
"No."
Didn't you once try to find Miss Grace

Eyes"
"Well, I'm her. Iran away Just out of
pure deviltry, and I've had my full share
Of it."
Good heavensl Why did you do
it?"
"Oh, don't know. The notion came
into into my y head, and I obeyed the inn
"And where haye you been all this
time"
Right here in the ward, under your
very nose. You never suspected me,
though saw you often enough"
And have you not repented of the
step?" :,
the captains ear like the wall of lost
soul. "Repented Oh, God, yes! But it
was too late"
"It's never too late"
''Yes, it is. But it's not too late to
die"
And before the captain could prevent
she had drawn a smaU piatol and shot

The revival of the Puritan Sabbath b,

in this century the courts of that State
had much trouble with the stringent law
governing the observance of the day and
the supreme court discovered a method
of dealing with the zealots who wished
to breake up all travelling on Sunday
which ought to be called to the attention
of our judges, They decided that sp ar,

A Big Smash-up.

JACKSON, Miss, January 1.-West
Jackson was the scene of quite an ex-
citement this evening, caused by an ac-
cident to freight train on the New Or
leans and Chicago road, which, in run
ming backward over Capitol street cross
ing, struck country mule-team, killing
both animals; the driver escaping, and
was thrown from the track and plunged
into the rear ofthe express office, where
Mr.. John Lonigan and a negro ,employe
were engaged at work. Both were struck
by the car and completely covered by
boxes and broken timbers. By prompt
assistance they were soon relieved, and
were found to be very seriously injured.
Messrs. Thomas Kelly and Jennings,
agents, were in front of the office at the
time of the accident, but were unhurt,
as they had sufficient time to retreat.
From all accounts the managers of the
train were not responsible for the acci-
dent Memphis Appeal.

TIMBER AGAINST WHEAT.

ife being so uncertain and short,
we have no hope Of being able to en-
courage the planting Of trees upon the
prairies to any great extent. Many
have tried the experiment, ana many
have failed, as they would have done
in ANYTHING else where the same care
less method, and poor attention was
yiven to the pursuit. Such Instances,
and they are in the great majority,
prove nothing for or against 1t, ana
are no criterions to go by. We expect
the failure off few, will continue TO
frighten the balance of those who
have not tried it, in the usual language
that they have neither time or money
to throw away to investigate the
scheme of raising trees. 1t will be
seen we are encouraging no one, to
give it any sort of a trial, but we would
like to call attention to one mans eX-
perience over in Dakota, with soil
like ours, who has been in it as mat
ter of speculation, for the last ten
years.
He planted ten acres in trees ten
years ago, and this is the result. Moth
ing was done during the first five
years of any account, except to keep
the grass cut with q horse, and corn
cuitlvatOr. At the end of the fifth
year his cuItivating of the trees was
discontinued, as they were so thick
that they shaded the ground until no
grass would grow among them. At
the end of the sixth and seventh years,
he sold wood and poles to thin out
trees for 5000; during the eighth year
he thined out and gold for 500; the
ninth year he thined out, and sold for
$780, and during the tenth year he
again thined out, and sold for $500;
and at the beginning of the eleventh
year he puts cash value of the re-
naming timber at 5000 per acre, al
though he refuses to take that for it,
l4aking sum Total of So 200 from only
ten acres, or $32 per year for each of
the ten years. Besides the above esti-
mate, he cut all of his own fire wood
from this, during the last five years,
which he does not nut any estimate
,tnon-he kept three fires all through
tie winter, and one the balance of the
year. He says this timber has raised
the price of the balance of his 16O
acres, at least five dollars ali acre.
We must remember that these trees
are still growing and increasing in
value.
How rauch more solid cash will be
found in the pocket during, or at the
end of ten years than this, by raising
wheat? It is a tender question and
we do not press it for an answer.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

We hope the investigation which is
being made of the clay from which
our cream colored brick are manufac-
tured, will turn out to be the right
sort for making stone ware. We un-
derstand the clay is sufficiently free
from all grit and lime, and can be
found in sufficient quantities to supply
any ordinary demand made upon it
for this purpose; and if it will burn
stone ware without cracking, it is
thought it will answer the purpose
| well. 1t has attracted considerable
attention thus far from the fact, that
it has the very best ring when made
into brick. 1t will it is admitted work
into superior ware, from its being so
light colored and having 50 much the
appearance of clear stone.
AS it would not cost to exceed two
or three hundred dollars to give it a
fair trial, it. would be well worth the
expenditure to look into it to this eX-
tent. And if 1t is found to be a success,
five or six hundred added to the first
outlay, would be all that would be
necessary to carry it on extensively.
We can find an excellent market for
it in wholesale trade at st. Paul,
and Minneapolis, a distance of only
about one hundred and fifty miles.
when the most of the article sold in
those cities, comes over five hundred
miles, giving Il great advantage in
shorter distance of transportation to
market. The hel p required would not
be more than half of that necessary
for working Il brick yard. We hope
this enterprise will be looked into for
may have manufacturing establ sh-
ment of this kind if it is at all possi-
BILE. If we are to continue in having Il
thriving business town, all will admit
it must have something upon which
to feed its business departments. If
our Board of trade has so far gone to
pieces that it cannot get itself together
to look after matter of this impOr-
tance, it is hoped a few ambitious cit
izens will take it upon themselves to
do this much as Il private enterprise.

Mississippians evidently think
grave rohbing one Of the worst of
crimes. Last Tuesday at Edwards in

charged with robhiag the grave of
Mrs. Hattie Howell. They confessed
their guilt, informing the officers th at
they stole the body for the purpose of
securing the bones of an arm which
they used in their profession of con-
jurer. When the news of the robbery
and arrest became known, a crowd of
$50 men assembled and demanded that
the sheriff turn over the prisoners.
He refused. In the confusion Goddis
attempted to escape, and was riddled
with bullets by the crowd. The
sheriff was then overpowered and the
other prisoner was taken from jail
and hanged.
