A Warning to Girls.

A Chattan ooga, Tenn, special 0
the I'd instant. to the Times Democrat
furnishes the following heartrendine
story of the deception, ruin and 6na
murder of q beautiful young girl b,
a feud in the shape of a man, which
should serve as a warning to young
girls, and make them shun sucl
things as clendestine marriages:
4 startling sensation was divulged
to-day at Spring City, Rhea county
Tenn. Miss Sallie Newly, a beauti
full young lady Of that place. died
about two weeks ago very mysteri
onsly. The facts regarding her
death were suppressed, and not unit
to-day did the truth become known
On her dying he'd she told her terri
bile secret to her family physician
under his promise to guard her con-
fession sacredly, but to day he was
prevailed upon to disclose the truth.
For some months past a young man,
named Joe Hicks, had been paying
devoted attention to the young lady.
He persuaded her into q secret mar.
riage. under pretense that his mother
would oppose the match. He en-,
veigled her into an !. adj djourning
county, and with the assistance Of
con .ederates had d mock ceremony
performed. About a month after.
ward he began administering medi.
cine, and the young girl gradually
sank away. When it was too late,
she discovered she had been mur.
dered BY slow poison. and died in
convuleiops. The Villain who ac-

Trae Courtesy.

Genuihe politencss is not any toe
common, for this quality is not
matter of mere form or ceremony
but comes from that sincere kind ol
heart that tehderly regards the
rights and c6inforts OF others. There
is a class of people who are very
scrupulous as to certain forms. and
would rather violate one of the ten
commandments than disregard a rule
or practice of table etiquette. Such
persons regard it as grave impro-
priety to raise the knife to the lips
while eating, Instead Of the fork.
a beautiful fact on this subject is
related Of Prince Albert, the late
husband of Queen Victoria. On
one occasion humble, worthy man
who had befriended the Prince in
early life, called to see him, and was
invited to come to the family table.
He began to eat with his knife, as
he had been accustomed, and the
young people smiled. Prince Albert
looked around upon tliem as If to
say " stop that" and at once he him
self began to ca. with his knife, and
did so until the end of the meal.
After dinner one of the children
asked him why he did SO. Prince
Albert replied: Il, is we'll enough
for us to observe the e',ouat:e bf the
day, hnt It is far nore alt6a tant to
avoid insultine paaYe wanted
my cid friend j., his dinner,
which ! r 7~1 i. he had seen
you lang hing a. him He is accus-
toned to "s. RI. k.,ffe; and it would
be quite d fficnlt for Girt to use the
fork instead
This was genuine politeness. The
world would be happier and better
if there were more of it. There
may be he most scrnpnlou, FLOW
ing out of forms where the very
essence Of politeness is lacking.
And parents make d very grave mis-
take who insist upon their children
observing the forms Of etiquette,
while they neglect to inculcate that
kindness Of heart, that uuselfyh re-
gard for the welfare Of others, which
ls the only source from which gen
pips eonrtc.f can cone.

The Lake Charles Echo gives the
following sure recipe for killing off :
town: always growl, resist taxa
ton, kick against improvements exer.
else tho virtue Of enviousness don't
patronize your home paper, talk
against your neighbors and business
rivals, stay away from church and
society and criticise those who are
social and enterprising, buy all your
goods out of town and let your home
merchants live the best they can,
send your children of to school and
let the schools of your town take
care of themselves" This recipe is
warranted to have the desired effect.
even if given in broken doses, if 1t
don'., we are no Judge of certainties.

The Railroad TO Abbevilie

/ The Louisiana Farmer, Of New
Iberia, in q late issue says: Other
towns around are undoubtly envious
Of the sceptre of trade which now
crowns our importan. little city, and
would do their utmost to outdo her
advantages aud resources. But. to
speak candidly the truth and with
out partially. We think it would be
a grave error on the part of the
trade Of Abheville to urge a conaec.
ton with the Louisiana Central at
Lafayette
In regard to the above we would
say to our friends of New iberia,
that we are, not envious of their
prosperity. But. on the contrary,
We wish them godspeed IN all their
local enterprises, and a future Of
success commensurate with their
industry and public spirit.
But with all our good Whistles for
our neighbor. it would not be wise,
or just to ourselves to ignore our
own special advantages. The pso.
pie Of New Iberia themselve, If they
want to go any where by rail, except
to New Orleans, would have to come
to Lafayette TO reach their destina-
ton. About twenty milcs Of rail.
road will cnnnect Lafayette and
Abbcville. From Lafayette to New
iberia is nearly the same distance.
From Abbeyille to New Iberia would
be over twenty miles. The people
Of Abbeville, by going to New Iberia,
could reach New Orleans by rail
without coming back to Lafayette;
and nowhere else. BY making their
railroad connection at Lafayette,
they could have choice of two routes
to New Orleans, could reach directly
Opelousos. Alexander, Shreveport
and Northern Texas; could reach
Lake Charles Zone of the best pine
lumber markets in the world, Hous.
ton, Galveston. and all Southern
and Central Texas, Mexico, New
Mexico. Arizona, California, and all
points West and Northwest; could
reach Baton Rouge at about seventy
Eve miles, instead Of BY New Iberia
and New Orleans about two hundred
and forty miles. The railroad being
completed IRON Abbeviile to Baton
Rouge by Lafayette, they have a
shorter all rail ronte to St. Louis,
Chicago and other Northern and
Northwestern cities than even New
Orleans.
The completion Of the Louisiana
Central and the road to AbbeviIle,
will point Lafayette as the railroad
center Of Southwestern Louisiana.
We all know that railroad centers
bec6aae the points of distribution Of
the worlds products, and necessarily
become manufacturing towns. Among
thousands of Instances, we might
mention Atlanta, l,hllt in the barren
red hills Of the interior of Georgia.
There are many other rea sons why
a railroad should be built from La
fayet.e 10 Ahhesile. and we see none
why the people Of Fermilion parish
should be compelled TO reach Lafay-
cite {throngh which they pass to
reach Gny de-tination. except New
Orleans),. over d forty mile route
Of twenty miles.
In conclusion, we would say that
there must be an active cooperation
Of the citlzene of both parishes to se-
cure the road. # We are to have
the beautiful and fertile lands along
the Vermilion ri7er brought into a
full state Of cultivation. yielding its
OF sugar, cotton, rice and
oranges: We must build a railroad
outlet for these products, 80 much III

REVOLVING TALE OF CRUELTY.
Town Paupers Treated With The MosI Shocking Barbar1tY.

Town FauPers Treated W1fh Ine Most Shocking Barbar1ty.
 RUSSELL, Mass, Dec. 13.-For many months there have been rumors af1oat of cruel treatment of the town paupers by Keep CT Chipman, who has for three years bid off the towns poor, averaging twelve persons, at $900, or about $75 for each pauper. The selectmen have consistently denied the rumors. Two officers of the State board of health, lunacy and charity have just completed an investigation. Some of the details of their report too revolting for publication. The inspectors found filth abounding and stench- es too loathesome for human endurance. Not a few of the inmates had for beds nothing but pile of husks upon the floor and for covering only old clothing. Upon such bed an aged man named Thompson died without attention from the keeper or his superiors The food provided him was uncooked corn meal mixed without water. Starvation rather than disease or old age hastened his death. It is alleged that in his last poments he called for water to cool his parch9d lips, but though his cries were heard by passers- by none went to his aid. Not long before this another inmate, once property owner of the town, died similarly of ter rible disease. One man, school teacher and public lecturer, after enduring assaults and hunger finally ran away. The general care of the paupers was found to be on par with that given in the above de- with trying to kill off the paupers to get rid of theu

A PERSISTENT OLD LADY.
1he Tenant Ofa Closet and Depend
 ent On Charity.


 ent On Charity.
 LOWELL, Dec. 13.-Abigali F. Trout is old and of unsound uuind. About year ago she rented a room in Besmith block and for seve- ral months paid her rent promptly. She then stopped and after few months the agents notified her to vacate. She requested permission to store her furniture in a closet not more than three feet wide by four feet in length, and this was granted. After placing her furniture in this closet to the astonish- ment of the agents she occupied it as a sleep ing apartment. As there was not room enough for her to lie down she must have slept in sitting position for about three months, with only thin blanket to protect her from the weather. During the day she secured her food and the money to purchase oil and other small articles by begging about the streets. The agents, dis liking to attract public attention to the mat ter, having waited thus long for the old lady to remove, on Saturday became alarmed at her weak condition and notified the police. Before the officers arrived, however, she had fed The closet was then boarded up On Monday the old lady reappsared, and having torn down the boards resumed her habita- tion. This morning when she appeared on the street she was taken to police headquar- ters and will be sent to the insane hospital at the city farm.

A TERRIBLE H0LOCAUST.

Fire Breaks Out I'm A Tenement
 Block-A Number of Persons Burned
 To Death-Fearful Scenes At The
 Burning.
 LONDON, Dec. 13.-A fire which caused a fearful loss of life occurred tonight at Ply mouth. The fire broke out in 8 tenement house in Love street, Q narrow thoroughfare in the slums devoted to sailor lodging houses, cheap taverns and tall and rickety tene- ments. Most of the occupants of the tene- ments were asleep when the fire started. Those awakened by the tumult made frantic efforts to escape In most cases their ter TOT overpowered their reason and they escap- ed from the burning building only to meet death on the pavement. One man was instantly killed and crushed beyond recognition by jumping from fourth story window to the sidewalk. Many of the lodgers threw mattresses and other ar ticles of bedding to the ground and jumped upon them, One child was killed in this way and several men and women had legs and arms broken. The fire escapes were crowded with household goods and were use- less. Many pitiful sights were witnessed by the large crowd assembled in the street, but powerless to help. One lodger, man named Biekford, clung to window sill for several minutes with his little sister under his arm. If he had been alone he could have dropped to the street in comparative safety, but the child had swoonsd and was dead weight. At last he had to let go his hold, but he man
