Burglars Captured.

Tuesday night of last week while Mir. l.. E. Hinton was attending services at the Tabernacle, his res. ldence was entered and burglar izcd. Several things were taken away, among them hunting case gold watch, his wife's gold chain, etc., valued at over $l5O. The next night about the same time and under same circumstances, MT. N. T. Richmond's residence was bro. ken into, and his fine hunting case gold watch, a gold locket and his wife's large gold chain, with other things taken, valued at $500.
 Great excitement prevailed on account ot the burglaties, and strenuous efforts were made to capture the burglars, Several ar- rests were made among the ne- groes, and this, coupled with 2 talk from Sheriff Phillips to Che of the perpetrators, caused a partial con. fession and the final capture of the two thieves, Bag Denson and George Johnson.
 Thursday Bag Denson went first to MT. l., E. Hinton and told him he thought he kneN where his watch was, and asked hin, what he would give him to find it for him, and five dollars wes promised him. MT. Richmond was then seen, and these two gentlemen went with Bag out to MT. Paul Stephens place two miles north east oftOwn where lie said he had seen George Johnson bury some things. Before leaving town, George Johnson was locked up in the calaboose. After getting out to Mir. Stephens, Bag pretended the things had been moved, and so Messrs Hinton and Richmond came back, and, taking George Johnson and the officers of the law with them, the stolen watches, etc., were found buried in Mir. Stephens garden, in a reticule wrapped in sack. Clothing, quilts and other things, belonging to Messers Wiley Hatley, Haley ker- shaw in town, anu numerous things that had been stolen from Mir. J; A. Brown, who wa5 camping out and going to the meeting at the tabernacle-these being found at a negro cabin near by where the val uables were buried,
 The negroes charge each other with the crime. George Johnson waived a preliminary trial and went to jail. Bag Denson stood trial and was bound over for trial at Circuit court. They arc both ev' idently guilty, and will ba sent Up for a score of years.

Will Hams the Cumberland Presbyterian Evange- list, preached to about TOO of the colored people of Prescott and vicinity Sunday even ing at o'clock, from the text--"Be not de- ceved, God is not mocked,' etc, Gal. 6-7 X 8. His denunciations against the wicked wero fierce and effective, and his array of social sins were from long observation and acquaintance with the character of his hearers. The purer and better clements of his audience were strengthened and are prepared more bravely to defend the truth. He pointed out the seeds of sin so clearly that none who needed him may mistake what he shall reap from every sct he does. Respectfully submitted.

 Prescott is as free of immoral social evils as any town of its size in the state. But the Rev. Mir WillMms told of some things of this nature in our midst that were not generally known before. All such should be crushed out promptly. As a journalist we do not like to say anything to dis parage the good name of Prescott, but we feel called upon now to speak out in the matter. Friends and fellow citizens, now that you know of these great evils, against society. and crimes against our laws, how long will you let it exist! Not long, we hope.

Raining . Husband.

A young Frenchman, of fine family,
though impoverished by the Revolution.
aspired to a post under the Govern
ment, to occupy which twas necessary
to furnish certain sum to deposit as
security. Our hero could not obtain
the requisite amount from his friends,
and at last hit upon an expedient to put
an easy end to the dif1cuity. lie cauS-
ed an advertisement to appear i'll one
of the journals, as follows:
"a young man, occupying an hon
orable position, wishes to marry n lady
well brought up, and possessed of 25O
francs"
Two hundred and fifty francs are but
tl0; and as there are many women in
the world who would be glad to pur-
chase young, handsome, and honor
able husband on such moderate terms,
it was quite natural that the advertiser
in the course of three days.. during
which his notice appeared in public.
should have received many letters and
applications.
The young man addressed note to
each of the applicants appointing a
place and hour when he should meet
them altogether, and politely inviting
all to come and look at him.
The evening indicated they came.
and it is said the company numbered
fully 200 women. When all had as
sembled the young man "organized the
meeting. and made q speech in which
he thanked these ladies for the honor
they proposed conferring upon him.
''But," said the seif-possessed young
gentleman, ''you must understand,
ladies, perfectly we'll. that | cannot
marry you all; moreover, YOU are all
SO charming (many of them were hor-
rible witches), it would lie utterly i'm
possible for me to choose amongst such
lovely creatures. This, then, is nv
proposition: Consider me as an OBJ
ject put up at lottery. You number
200; make POO tickets at 25O francs
(flO) each, and the gross sum realized
shall be the fortune of the lady who
draws the lucky number. and whom l
pledge to marry Immediately" They
hesitated moment, but the youth was
good-looking. and the ladies were anx-
ious to marry. One Of them determin-
ed to accept the proposition, and the
rest followed like flock of sheep. As
if to reward the yenturous fellow for
his courage, his fortunate stars directed
that he should fall to the lot of q youth
full and pretty girl, whose greatest
fault is an unhappy passion for prac-
ticing on the piano. True to his word,
the young man married her, and, by
last account, the young couple thus
strangely brought together were pass
ing q pleasant honeymoon. ~- ~s

A Devoted Mother.

When Maj. Converse was laying out
the line of the Galveston, Harrisburg
and San Antonio railroad he spent sew
eral days in obtaining the right of way
through the little town of Kingsbury.
There was considerable opposition on
the part of some of the citizens to
granting the right af way unless they
received extraordinary remuneration.
Among those who regarded the rail-
road as nuisance was hard faced
widow of about so years of age, who
owned a small farm. She said that if
she was not compelled to have 500
right off she would fight the company
until a certain warm place froze over.

Major Converse handed over the
money and the woman signed the doc

+ months from December l6'l
1881. the l. a ling attraction as Il great
sight aud landmark in the progress of
civilization, is the New Orleans Worlds
Industrial and Cotton Centennial Ex-
position. This is the grandest exhibit
ton of products and industries in the
long list which has followed that of
London in 1851.
1t grew out of an idea which was far
less comprehensive in the beginning
than is now seen in the huge develop
ment which surprises all visitors. Its
projectors thought of combining the
exhibit to a display of the products of
the South, especially cot! on, and dof the
various mechanical processes through
which this passes before sold over the
counter in the familiar forms of muslin
esiico, etc. As soon as their plan had
been published, however, they were
beset with applications for space and
soon found it advisable to enlarge the
scope of their plan. One building was
projected, but in May last a second
was determined upon, which a lucky
offer TO loan million dollars. made by
Congress, made at once practicable.
And SO the good work went on, until
by opening day sixty acres of the 4433I
acres appropriate d for Exposition uses
were covered with buildings, and
