Stage Fright.

Reading some article upon stage
fir ght > and its awful realities, two
curious stories came into mind that
had formerly been related TO me. Dur
ing the Harrison campaign, at great
political meeting at Faneui! Hall, a
man from Tennessee by the name of
Pear pronounced Pare) had expressed
a desire TO speak. Accordingly in due
time he was called upon. Graciously
rising, and with apparent eagerness, he
came forward; holding up one finger to
his audience, lie began thus:
"I-Pear-"
The assembled multitude patiently
waited through long pause for moro,
but this was all, Pear had sat down.
If Pear had said nothing to the purpose.
he had said sufficient to make himself
keenly remembered by every one who
heard him, AID had III those brief re-
marks convinced his hearers that he was
something of an egotist.
Another case is that of gen leman OF
one of our large New England towns
Being much interested in phrenology,
he proposed to give lecture upon the
subsec The time was Announced. a
large audience assembled, and the lect-
urer duly appeared. Upon table was
placed cast of head. Approaching
ihis. and laying his hands affectionately
upon it, he began; Ladies and gen.
tlemen-This head A long, long
pause. Fixedly but infinitely he looked
at his audience; so many heads @
overcame him. He retired and sat
down, while the people quietly and
rather solemnly dispersed. We need
hardly narrate that the gentleman left
town that evening. and was seen nu
more there for an indefinite period. -

sidewalks all around the court house and
jail and keep everybody from approaching

every building in the vicinity is marked
by bullet holes. which occasionally
would draw crowds, tie sightseers are
comparatively few. No change in
the situation about the court house

manifested toward the military guard Still

A Southern Romance.

CARRoLLToN. ALA, April "A romance
which had its beginning In this place six
teen years ago has just been recalled in a
singular manner. In 1865 Miss NJ. F. Hill
was the belle of Pickens County, and
counted among her admirers the best young
men of the county. Among them there
was one, Mr.. NJ. j: Davis, young attorney,
to whom she gave her hand. the wedding
ceremony being the most notable which has
ever been performed in this community.
Shortly afterward the wonderful stories of
fortunes to be made in the West induced the
young couple 70 remove to Arkansas,
where for time they prospered. and two
children, boy and girl, We're born to-
them. The parents became victims of ma
LARA, and as invalidS they soon lost all they
had. In 1877 Mr. Davis suggested that his
wife, with her children, accept the offer of
her parents to make her home with them,
while he would get along by himself. eX-
pecting that death would overtake him in
short time The husband also removed to
a new section, and to his own qualification
found himself not only on the road to res
newed health but to a competence besides.
When he felt assured of all this he wrote
back to this place, but owing to his wife's
family having left the county he was unable
to find her. Finally he concluded from her
silence that size did not want to hear from
him, 81 he procured a divorce and tried to
forget the past. About six weeks ago, how
ever, gentleman whom he CHANGED to meet
at hotel told him of Mrs. Davis who was
teacher of music in the High School of Hub
bard, Tex. His description of the lady was
so striking that Mr. Davis at once concluded
that she must be his long-lost wife, and he
would make one more effort to reach her
Correspondence developed the fact that it
was his wife, and that she was not only
willing but anxious to see him. A visit to

says: Our relations with foreign powers are
cordial. Negotiations for renewing our re-

ence on the commerce of both countries. The
railroads are showing good results. The

her committing suicide. About six O'Clock

screams proceeding from the refractory
ward, and on bursting open the door found
Stephens lying dead on the floor with her
head battered to pieces. The instrument
used was the night bucket. Mckinley said
she wanted Stephens to kill her, and. as She
refused, she killed her (Stephens).
