HIS NAME Is VIRGINS.

A Washington letter of the ID inst.
gives the following facts in tho Blind
Tom case:
M. "A. j. Lerdie, rs counsel for Charity
Virgins, has flied in the United
States Circuit Court at Alexandria a bill
in equity, as the next friend of Thomas
Virgins, generally known as "Blind
rom," against James W. Bethume, of
Warrenton, Va, the former master of
"Biind Tom," and who it is said holds
him yet under absolute conti.,j by an
alleged commitment of Virginia
county court, though "Blind Tom" has
never been a resident of that State.
The appeal was made to Judge Bond,
United States Circuit Judge of the
Fourth Circuit, and this suit was
brought on petition of Toms mother
as his nearest friend. The bill asks for
all moneys Mr.. Bethumc has received
since the emancipation of slaves by
President Lincoln's proctamation, and
that he make an account 10 the court
forthwith.
Judge Bond has also granted an in
junction restraining and ferbidding Mr..
Bethume, his agents or servants, to re-
move Blind Tom out of the jurisdiction
of this court. The injunction has been
served on Bethume by United States
Marshal O'Neil; also an order to show
cause, returnable at Richmond, Va, in
tho United States Circuit Court for the
Eastern district OF Virginia, on the 9th
day of October, why the custody of the
person and estate of Blind Tom, should
not, by the order of this court, be given
and delivered to his mother or some
other suitable person until tho final do
cree be made, and that Bethune at the
same time and place show cause why
he should not immediately pay into the
registry of this court a sufficient sum of
money, part of the earnings of Tom
now in his hands, TO be applied
to tho care aud maintenance as non
compos mentis during the pending of
the suit and the cost OF this litigation.
This is about the outline of tho con-
troversy. All papers, orders and other
matters are on file in the clerks office

TIE MISSISSIPPI TELEPHONE.
Aberdeen Examiner.

aberdeen Examiner
Mr.. Prentiss Mutt, of Natchoz, Mis-
sissippi, whose invention Of an i'm
proved telephone was announced in
the Examiner some time ago, has
secured his patent. Since then his
transmitter has been put to the severest
tests by the electricians Of the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Company,
at the request OF the Bell Telephone
Company the tests were pronounced
satisfactory. The circuit used was
through two miles of underground
cable laid in Washington and forty
seven miles of air line to Baltimore,
with a number Of coils of wire thrown
in to increase the distance. In this
trial it excelled the Blake transmi!ter
used by the Bell company and regard
ed as exceptionally good for long dis
tances. While in this circuit we our
self tried it, and the words came to us
clearer and more distinct than in any
other telephone experience we have
ever had. The invention promises to
be success, and Mr.. Mutt has, we un-
derstand, been invited to meet the
directors of the Bell Telephone Com
pany in Boston with view to further
experiments and negotiation for the
purchase of his patent. We hope that
he may get fortune out OF it, for he
assures us that if he does the money
will he invested in Natchcz and
Adams county.

AN AWFUL AcT.

An Attempt to Ere an Orphan Asylum
A Holocaust Avertsd BY Timely Dis.
covery.
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, December IAN
attempt was made last night to burn the
temporary quarters used TOR the Colored Or.
phsns' Home. The home burned to the
ground ten days ago, the fire being due TO
a defective Hue, and the sixty orphans were
removed to school house in that part Of
the city until the Home could be rebuilt
Last night, Just as the children were
preparing to retire, the building was found
to be on FIRE. Had the discovery been de-
layed but few minutes longer dreadful
holocsus would have resulted. The whole
floor had been saturated with kerosene.
Piles Of timber had been placed near the
door.
1t is thought some fallen woman, whose
child had been taken from her, was the su.
thor Of the attempt.
