A School Marm's Nerve.

A special dispatch from Columbia, S.
c.. says: Since January last Miss Mar
ion, talented young lady and a grad
uate of Due West Female College, has
been teaching school at New Harmony,
in Laurens county, s. G. In disciplin-
ing the school she incurred the dis
pleasure of some people in the neigh
borhood, who ordered her to leave the
town. Most of her patrons stood by her
and she refused to go. Her enemies
then burned down her schoolhouse, but
as fast rs they would destroy it the
community would rebuild Three school
houses were burned down, but still the
plucky schoolmarm stuck to her post
and kept school every day. The mid
night marauders have finally determined
to resort to more extreme measures,
and have sent Miss Marion a regular
Knklux warning, saying: ''You must
discontinue the school, or you will be a
dead woman. Burning has failed to
stop you from teaching. Lead will next
be used OF course, the letter was not
signed, but Immediately on its recep-
ton Miss Marion quietly informed her
patrons that she would continue to
teach if she had to teach in tent that
could be spread in the morning and
folded at night. Rewards have been
offered for the arrest of the schoolhouse
burners, but they are still at large.

Damages Recovered.

PoRT JERvIs, New York, April o.
In the case of Mary A. Seybolt against
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
railroad company, the Court of Appeals
has decided that a railroad corporation
is responsible for the death, by acct
dent on its road, of person riding on
a free pass. Daniel III. Seybolt, the hus-
band of the plaintiff, was a postal clerk
working on the defendants railroad.
He was killed by an accident on the
road at Tioga in 1881. His widow
brought suit to recover $1,000 The
company set up the defense that as the
deceased was travelling on free pass
the plaintiff could not recover. She OBJ
tanned a judgment for 81, 800 at the
trial court, and, on appeal by the COM
pany, in the general term, it is now in
the court of last resort.

The Massacre at ShendY.

CAIRO, Egypt, April 22.-Details from
the recent massacre at Shendy are very
meager. Three hundred Egyptian
troops and six hundred noncombatants,
preferring to make the hazardous at
tempt to march to Berber to starving
at Shendy, set out from the latter place
on the 10Th inst. Part of the number
went slowly by steamer down the river,
while the others marched along the
river bank. When two hours march
from Shendy they were attacked by
Arabs, and, after short fight, all the
troops. excepting a few. massacred.
The Egyptians there had discarded their
arms and uniforms in the hope of being
spared. Few, however, escaped the
general massacre. Two thousand men,
women and children were slaughtered.
Many of them were refugees from
khartOum

conclusion Senator Sabin says: "While

All For Unity.

WASHINGTON. April 22.--I is impos-
eible to tell how the state convention of
New York will be made up. 1t is said
by the Arthur men that there viii be no
direct contest between the Arthur and
anti-Arthur factions, but that men will
be chosen who will be prepared to do
what may seem best in Chicago. If the
president has any wish in the premises,
he does not make it known. He will
make no request rs to the course of his
friends except to discourage anything
looking toward strife or discussion. He
remarked to a gentleman who called
upon him the other day, that it was of
particular Importance that the conven-
ton should be harmonious. IF | am
not chosen at Chicago said he, ''seme
other Republican will be, and we shall
need union of strength to carry New
York. The party is united now. Let
nothing be done to divide or discourage
it in the future

Great excitement was created here bv
the announcement that the dead body
of John j. Wilson had been found hang
ing in the belfry of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. 1t was quickly cut down
but life was extinct. Mr.. Wilson was
sexton, and had gone from home some

church, and not returning to dinner at
the usual time his wife went in search
of him and found him hanging dead.

A Lincoln Renaissance.

OF co." said an old-time Republican,
sand pending the municipal election in
April. The Republican party was in
the yieor of youth and acquiring
strength Mr.. Lincoln had not yet
been nominated and his coadjutors lit
tie dreamed what conspicuous figure
he was before another year destined to
fill in American politics. Lincoln was
extremely anxious that the city should
be carried by the Republicans, and in
private caucus suggested the plan of
every man making a canvass of the vote
of the block in which he resided, and
reporting the number of Democrats,
Republicans, and doubtful voters back
to the caucus. To start the matter.
Lincoln agreed to take his block and
look after it himself Well, they went
to work, and in that way canvassed the
whole city, and found the Democrats
considerably ahead. Lincoln was much
disappointed, and urged that the doubt
full voters should be seen by those per-
sons who would be most likely to bring
them over, their relatives, employers,
patrons in business, etc. Well, the
election came along and Lincoln was
alternately cheered and discouraged,
but it SO happened that an important
case in which he was interested was set
for trial at Taylorsville, twenty-six
miles distant, only to be reached by
stage. He paired with a Democrat,
however, and left, and was gone sew
eral days. The city went Republican,
and the whole Republican ticket was
elected. Lincoln came back, and was
very much elated. Meeting party
embracing number of prominent Re
publicans, among whom were, if | re-
member correctly, John w. Smith,
Isaac Reyes, John Hopper, and John
Burns, he proceed to tell that we'll

to California, and who, coming back
five years later, spied baby in the
cradle which the wife reluctantly ac-
knowledged to be her own. Well
said the man, as The story goes, Mary,
you've got along mighty well in this
business without my help Lincoln, L
don't think, ever knew that his scheme
of making converts didn't pan out, and
that sufficient money was raised to
reach where argument and persuasion
were unavailing. In fact, think Lin
coin died with the impression that to
his plan was due the success of the
election, and / don't think he showed
half the sign of rejoicing when he
found himself elected President that he

AbOut n Rabbi.

LITTLE Rock, Arkansas, April %. -
lsraelitish circles in Little Rock are all
torn up. Rabbi Benson, who has been
mlnlstering spiritual pabulum to the
congregation of B'nai Israel, is the un-
fortunate cause of the commotion. The
Rabbi had a buxom, blue-eyed German
domestic in his household who accuses
him of visiting her sleeping room and
attempting the grossest liberties.
Though the grand jury has not taken
cognizance of the matter and strenu-
Gus efforts have been made toi hush it.
the Rabbits congregation are so thor
oughlly outraged that they were called
together in secret session and he was
summarily dismissed. The story of the
girl excites the sympathy of almost
every Israelite in the city.

opinion seems to justify the lynchlng.
