"More Sinned Against than Shining

From the Rome Daily Bulletin we
have the following sad and pitiful &C
count of recent attempt at suicide IN
that place:
Wednesday night ops of the women
known as the Red Light Girls" was ar
rested for being drunk and disorderly
and lodged in one of the cells in the city
hall building. 1t. fortunately for the
girls life, happened that Policeman
Brown at half-pa ten that night passed
around the cells, and in looking into
them discovered woman hanging, APP
parently dead. The kew was promptly
procured and the woman cut down, and
her body fell to the floor, to all appear
ances lifeless. 1t seems she, after sober
ing up little, discovered her condition
ana where she was, and concluded to end
her miserable life by suicide. She took
one of her stockings, very fine one, and
pink silk garter, and with these made a
strong cord, and after fastening one end
to the ceiling of the cell, and the other
formed into moose around her neck, all
was ready to start on long journey.
She then threw her weight on the cord,
and was N "a fair way to take her own
life. she certainly would have been
dead before Policeman Brown discovered
her if she had not had the weight all on
the back Of her neck, and as 1t was she
escaped suicides fate by the narrowest
chance. A few years ago some foul
wretch, called man, possibly under the
pretension of marriage, seduced this then
but an innocent girl from virtues sacred
walks, and, demon that he was, and hell
deserving as he is. abandoned her, and
she, homeless, friendless, shameless and
alone, sells her sonl to keep her body
alive, and at last remorse and quick
ened conscience prompts her to hasten
the end. In pity let us draw the curtain
over her sin-"more sinned against than
shining"

he Would Try a Cashier.

An Ohio merchant who kept three
clerks, each of whom made his own
change and had free access to the money
drawers, was asked by a drummer why
he did not keep cashier to receive all
moneys.
Cost too much" was the reply.
But are your clerks honest?"
Perfectly honest"
Have you any objection to my trying
them?"
Certainly not-so ahead in any way
you wish
The traveller went away, but in about
three hours he returned and said in a
loud voice so that ali might hear:
When l was here this forenoon | paid
you bogus quarter by mistake. In
case you find it in counting up to night,
lay it aside and I'll redeem it"
Then the drummer, accompanied by
the merchant, took position where the
back door and the alley could be kept in
view, and in less than ten minutes out
came the head clerk and emptied hand
full of silver on the head of a barrel and
paved it over. The bogus quarter was
not there. He returned to the store and
ont came the second, who went through
the same programme. He was followed
by the third, and after he disappeared
the merchant observed:

trade to pick up, and l rather guess Ill

THE EVENING STAR.
WILLIAM A. HAMlLL.

Bright flames the evening star
Above the harbor-bar,
Oh, whittier than lily, whittier far!
A shape of diamond fret,
Set in the violet
,Of heaven dreaming OF the sunlight vet.
A Joy a winged desire!
An ecstacy of fire,
Throbbing the music of Seraph's Tyre
Above the thickening maze
OF ocean do h it raise
Clear as the Spirit that lifts to praise.
And what is it to me?
An isle of Eden free
In the wide ocean of infnitv !
watch-fi fire and light
Upon the threshold bright
OF that strange region where the sun takes
flight!
Oh, sweet that thus beyond
Our Earth's remotest strand,
Above the dark sea lifts shape so fond
An evidence divine
OF influence benign,
A life beyond the present life's decline.
Pilot of stranger seas,
And wierder depths than these
That round us spread their wool of mysteries
Thou threadest the Unknown,
Thy path is round the Throne
Where slit tn the Eternal One alone

More than 1000 floral crowns were
heaped around Gambettas coffin in the
Palais Bourbon, and writer in Figaro
estimates their value at $780, 900. Paris
and its environs produced them all

oned that the daily sale of natural flowers
in Paris realizes about 500, 900. The
flowers most in fashion at present are the
gardenia, which sells at five francs each
flower; the lily of the valley. worth ten
francs the pot; the queen rose and the
purple rose, the Spanish carnation and

perfume of those grown around Paris.

So far as heard from, the Democrats
have been successful in every county in
the State, except Pamela; there the In
dependents are thought successful. No
disturbance isleported in any county
except Copiah; all is quiet there how.
Kinds county has elected the county fu-
sion ticket by something over 500 major
| ity. Some of the fusion beat officers are
defeated.
Madison county elects the fusion ticket
by over 1000 majority. The Independ-
ents in that county, on some account,
seem to have been demoralized. Miller,
Democratic candidate for District Attor-
ney OF this District, is elected over Ware,
Independent, by a large majority. In
the fifth District, Brantley, present Dis
trict Attorney, and who was not q candi-
date, is elected for same position over H.
l.. Noel, Democratic nominee, by a large
majority. Brantley is a Democrat. The
cannons are roaring in Jackson tonight
oyer the result. The fusion men here do
not consider the result a big victory.
Before fusion was contaminated they
claimed the ticket would have an easy
walk over of two thousand majority; as
it is, they only get in by close rub.
