4 CLASH OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITY.
4 Southern Judge Who Has Great
Contempt for the Federal Courts.

The federal and state officers in Hart county,
Georgia, are in conflict. Several weeks ago
two men named McDOugall and Baker were
charged with a serious conspiracy. 1t was
charged that these men followed a witness
named Hardin into South Carolina with the de-
termination to kill him. They rode up to the
residence of preacher at whose house they
thought Hardin was stopping and asked for
MIN, but the preacher. designing their inten-
ton. shouted to Hardin to run and get a gun
and defend himself. The men fired through the
house and then went Oft 1t was charged that
while this act was committed in South Carolina
the conspiracy was formed i'm Georgia. and that
the men should be held to answer i'm that state.
United States Marshal Carter swore out war
rants against them, and was in Hartwell two
days trying to arrest them. They both ran to-
ward the sheriff with the intention ofsurrender-
ing for offenses charged by the state and for
which they were under bonds. The deputy
marshal caught Baker, but McDOugall
reached the sheriff and surrendered. His bonds
men were also conveniently nigh, and likewise
surrendered him. The sheriff refused to sur
render his prisoner to the deputy aud thus a
clash OF authority was started. Judge POttle,
holding court in Hartwell, instructed the sheriff
to hold the two prisoners, and the deputy mar
shall telegraphed to Mr.. Speer to know what to
do. He replied by telling him to avoid a con-
flct If possible, but to quietly inform the sheriff
that prosecutions would be instituted against
any person who INSTRUCTED the processes OF the
federal court. Since then Mr.. Speer has re-
ceived telegram from the sheriff stating that
McDOugall had been tried on both cases for
which he had surrendered himself and had been
acquitted. The sheriff stated that he wOul hold
the prisoner for a reasonable time to a ,ow a
government officer to come and get him Mr..
Speer received a letter from Judge Pottl stat
ing that while he had great respect for e fed
eral laws, he intended to enforce the f. risdc-
ton of the state courts. The case has excited
great interest i'm Hartwell on account of the fact
that special deputy marshal had lately gotten
himself into a scrape in the village He was in
dcted for carrying concealed weapons, and ap-
case to the federal courts Judge Pottle re-
fused to transfer the case and said that he had
great contempt for the federal courts The
Judge has now reconsdered the matter and the
case will now be tried in the United States
court.

BELLE OF THE KISSING BEE.
Frontier Beauty who Could Work
All Day and Fr0lic All Night.
, Letter In the st. Louis Republican.

Coheevhle Letter In the st. Louis Republican.
1t would scarcely be doing the proper thing
for me to write the-name Of our host or any of
his family but to such an extent did one of his
many girls attract me that have called her the
''Catamaran," and will endeavor to describe her.
A girl Of medium height, with deep brunette
complexion, hair as black as the ravens plume,
eyes as deep as the sea and as black as Goals,
with long eyelashes and teeth like miniature
graveyard. white and regular as the tomb
stones; about five feet three inches high
and as straight as an arrow. A calico
dress adorned her shapely person, and we looked
with admiration at her as we sat in front of the
door and asked the distance to Coffeeville:
She said not word. but her rosy lips seemed to
curl with mingled scorn and admiration. DIM
pies graced her cheeks and when she laughed-as
she did after whie-her whole face was lit up
in way that is ndescribaDle. Mr. Dash said it
was not far to COffeeville, but urged us to stay
with him. Jake seemed to know him, and we
concluded to stay tor the night. The home was
much like all other houses in this section, but
the wife was New York (OwegC) woman Of
culture, and we spent the evening very pleas
antly. And here will again notice the "Cata-
maran." She said but little, but seemed to be
ubiquitous Here and there. everywhere in
minute. 1. could hear her talk to the other
children-fOr she seemed to be the general man
dScI-tuU ucT tongue WOulU swing ike u Dcll-
clapper, but before US she said but little.
About 8 o'clock she disappeared and looked
in vain for her. After awhile a wagon was
heard coming, and in a moment more strap
ping big fellow of about twenty came in and
asked for the ''Catamaran." ':rll be there di-
rectly." said her voice from some invisible quar-
ter. and in a moment more she came bounding
into the room completely mefamorphOsed. But
will not speak OF her dress-for beauty una
dOrned is adorned most Come, let's hurry"
SAID she. pushing her gallant to the door; wen
be back when we get here" said she, as size
passed into the darkness and in a moment
more the sound of hay wagon rum
bling across the prairie was all that was
heard. asked where she was going to, and
her little sister said she was going toa kissing
bee" about ten miles away. She spoke as if it
was nothing unusual and no comments were
made upon it. but thought of it after I had
laid down and wondered if such was the Gus
tom of the country. She returned about four
o'clock, and at six o'clock was up and working
as usual.
greater number of ''grass widows" does not,
venture to say, live anywhere in the same
number of miles than can be found in the coun-
ties of Labette and Montgomery, Kansas. l
think that out of twenty houses we passed ten
of them were inhabited by those peculiar kind
OF widows whose husbands Cor sometimes the
wife, had ''lt out" and gone away to the east,
west or Indian Territory.

SHAKESPEARE 'S BONES.
England Indignant at the Proposal to
ExhuMe the Bard,S Remains.

A letter to the New York Herald, from Lon
don, September Al says: This September has not
been wanting in the usual crop Of wonderful
newspaper concoctions We have been startled
by one tale. at least, so curious and unexpected
that it has sent an instant thrill throughout the
length and breadth of England, and stirred even
the most languid pulses as neither Tonquin
wars, nor Chambord funerals, nor Java earth
quakes could ever have stirred them little
pamphlet, lugubriously entitled ''Shakespeare's
Bones, and written by certain DR.. Ingleby,
suddenly set the whole country in cOmmOtiOn.
The excitement has subsidized as quickly as it
rose. With hollow pretense of antiquarian
zeal which deceived very few people DR.. Ingleby
had audaciOusly suggested that Shakespeare's
remains be dug up and investigated, so that we
might settle once for all by comparing his skull
with the bust at Stratford whether that monu-
ment or the various portraits which have been
handed down to ns are faithful presentments of
the inimitable ''Swan of Avon"
The inscription on the poets tomb seemed to
forbid any such body-snatching; but Dr. Ingleby
would fain have persuaded us that Shakespeare
never wrote 1t, and that it need no longer be
respected. He has failed however. to convince
either the public or the Stratford mayor and
corporation, while the vicar of StratfOrd, Mr..
Arbuthnot, who appeared at first less averse to
the proposed exhumation, has thought it pru-
dent to discaim having expressed any intention
OF abettng DR.. lngleby.
THE PUBLIC AND THE PRESS FURIOUS.
Public opinion, as it happens. has Indignantly
and passiOnately denounced the exhumation,
and there is now little danger of the Shak-
speare body-snatchers being allowed to work
their will. The press has united in furious
protest against the scheme; nor is it likely that
any arguments, however ingenious, Dr. Ingleby
could bring forward, will convince Eng
lshmen that there is the least good
to be got by the proposed desc
Grafton. "GOod friend, for Jesus's sake
fOrbeaTe To digg the dust encloased heare;
Blest be We man vt spa res thes stones, and curst
be he who moves. my BONES" Whether Will
wrote the inscription himself or it was piously
indented after his death matters, and can matter,
little to any reverent mind. In all probability
the touching words fifty expressed the poets
wishes. Beyond all shadow of doubt they ex-
press the deliberate wish Of nine hundred and
ninety-nine men out of every thousand readers
Of Hamlet" and king Lear and "Othello"
The pretext invoked to excuse this most I'M
timely of Shakespearean ''revivals" will not
bear amOment's serious discussion. Should the
skull not correspond or (hOrrid thought should
no skull at all be discovered. what incalculabe
disappointment would be caused, and how many
pious American tourists would be tempted to
profanity! HpOet's bones must be dug up at
all let it be elsewhere and not in mere spirit of
childish curiosity.

From the London Telegraph.
The quickness of hearing is in these animals
admirably supplemented by the complete silence
OF their own movements. Aman when walking
after game has to stand still in order to listen
for other sounds, as his own passage through
the bushes and his football on the ground make
it impossible for him to perceive whether fur or
feather is astir in his neighborhood. But the
tiger-thOugh walking over dead leaves and
twigs that rustic loudly II lizard glides across
them. and which cracke under the light step of
the jungle fowl or the fOX-is absolutely noise
less. 1t comes into sight like an apparition and
vanishes with the same ghOstly stiffness. Some
times, therefore, in an excess Of audaclty, either
from hunger or despair or other means of
escape, the great carnivora will double back
upon their pursuers, and trust to silence in
passing to carry its conspicuous hide unframed
through the very midst of its enemies. Thus
on one occasion, man-eater, which had killed
an officers servant, was tracked up, and. the
body being found, 1t was determined to punish
the murderer A ''machan," therefore, was
prepared, In convenient tree, but while all
were at work, the tiger came back, and in spite
OF what was going on. carried off the corpse!
The tiger in this wonderful quetness of its
approach shows itself a true cat, but in other
respects, besides Its objections to climbing, it
differs from It's family in It's tastes. Thus have
seen tiger take to water of It's own accord
ana paddle about In 1t with as much apparent
pleasure as Newfoundland dog. Indeed, the
beast has been frequently shot when swimming,
and it Is supposed to be curious fact that the
body sinks at once and never comes to the sur
face. But as there are generally crocodiles in
the neighbOrhoOd. do not think there is room
for much surprise at the nOn-appearance of the
carcass. Nor in the hatred of the wild dog for
the tiger is there anything adverse to the usual
theory Of the relations between the canine and
feline species. But 1t would hardly be believed
that the tiger. in the cOmbats that ensue with
these iungle-packs. sometimes gets killed.
Several sportsmen, however, have found corpses
OF dead tigers with the cOrpses of wild dogs
killed In the battle scattered around It, Nor do
other animals hesitate to meet the raja of the
)ungies In fair fght-nOtably the wild boar
A case is In my recollection where party, being
out in the jungles after miscellaneous game.
came upon huge boar lying dead, and tracking
up the blood which led to the scene of the
struggle, found fine full grown tiger with q
score OF wounds, ripped up and nfeless 1t must
have been grand sight to have watched that
woodland duello. Bears also will sometimes
dispute the path with the tiger, but they have
no chance, and the tiger generally ends by eat
ing up as much Of the bear as it wants.
