and Frankfort, in northwestern
Kansas between 10 and II o'clock
this forenoon, doing great damage
to property. at Nortonsyille the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

foundation and set squarely across
the track. One dwelling house
was completely demolished, another
damaged, and one woman seriously
hurt. At Goff's the Missouri Pacific
depot was badly wrecked, and a car
lifted up and turned over twenty
five feet away. William Hart's
dwelling was shattered, and J. T.

molished and pieces off carried sev-
eral miles. Gerard Pickets and
"Frank" Mayors houses were level

smith shop, and Edward Hughes's
and James Gibbons barns were
wrecked, an | other property serious

A Brave American.

| WASHINGTON, May 2G.-The De-
partment of State received to-day
report from Mr.. Osborn, minister
to Brazil, in regard to the arreste
and Imprisonment of Beckford
Mackey, United States Consul at
Rio Grande do Sui. Consul Mack.
ey has also written q letter to his
relatives here, giving an account
of the difficulty. 1t appears that
Mr.. Mackey had for many weeks
been violently assailed, for no as
certained cause, in the columns of
newspaper at Rio Grande do Sui.
The editor, one Amorim, sent Mr..
Mackey a note by messenger on
April IS, proposing that if he subs
scribed for the paper it would
cease to attack him. He declined
the offer, and kicked the messen>
ger out of his Office. On the next
day the editor made a scurrilous
attack on Mackey, and assailed
his mother, an excellent lady dis
tinguished for her piety, residing
in Washington. On the same ev,
ening, as Consul Mackey entered
tho theatre, he was confronted by
AmOrim with an uplifted stick.
Mr.. Mackey at once struck him a
heavy blow in the face with his
walking cane. His assailant drew
a pistol, but before he could fire,
the consul shot him twice, and he
tell to the floor. Mr.. Mackey, ac-
companied by the consul Of the
German empire, repaired to pos
lice magistrate and surrendered
himself. Amorim, whose wounds
proved not to be severe, then arr
rived at the head ofan armed band
of ruffians, and demanded that
Mr.. Mackey should be surrendered
to him. The police officers were
overawed and fled, but Mr.. Mack>
ey drew his pistol and kept the
mob at bay for q few minutes,
when a number of citizens, headed
by the German consul, arrived
and rescued him from his assa,l>
ants, who we're advancing with
their knives drawn. He is held a
prisouer, as the offence is not balls
able. All the foreign consuls
have visited him in a body, and
signed a statement justiiying his
action, while hundreds Of the lead
ing citizens have rendered him
their aid, and the leading lawyer
of that province has volunteered
for his defence. His trial will take
place next week.
Mr.. Mackey is q young man il
his twenty .tbird year. He gladu
ated with the highest honor q
Pic Mono College, Macon, Ga, ant

-Ev nrywhere in Europe the wo-
men do heavy share Of the labor,
often u e toughest and most burd-
ensome, while the wages are one
third al d one>half smaller than for
male la )or. At the same time that
the number Of women working at
agriculture, manufacture, etc., is
smaller in the United States than
in Europe, the number engaged in
superior industrial occupations are
more numerous in America than
anywhere else. OF the 100000
women engaged in various occupa>
tions, 5 )5,O 900 (mainly colored wo-
men in the South are engaged in
agriculture, $4,000 in manufac-
ture, 2e2, 900 are milliners, and 52,'
900 are tailors. During the past
decade women have crowded into
the leai ned professions. There are

'rhe recent appointment Of R. M.
7. Hunter, OF Virginia, to be col,
lector Of customs at the port of
Tappahannock at q painfully small
salary, calls attention to the where's
abouts and condition Of the few
remaining members Of the Confed>
crate Cabinet. There were fours
teen of them Benjamin, Bragg,
Breckenridge, Mallory, Meminger,
Randolph, Sedden, Trenholm,
Walker, Davis, Reagan, Toombs,
Watts and Hunter. OF these only
FIVE now remain-Davis, Reagan,
Toombs, Watts and Hunter. OF
these five cnly two-Reagan and
Toomts-were members of the ORR
glnal Cabinet. Hunter is not only
an old man now, but very much
reduced in circumstances, as is
shown by his Willingness to accept
position which pays but about
5000 a year. There are few of the
members of the Confederate Cabi>
net who ale wealthy. Bob Toombs,
who lives near Atlanta, is wealthy.
Reagan is worth something, but
not very much. Watts, Of Alaba-
ma, aud Dayis, Of North Carolina,
though pretty old men, continue in
the practice Of law at their respec-
tive homes. Hunter, as indicated
above, is poor. OF those now dead,
none except Benjamin died wealthy
He made a magnificent fortune, as
is well known. in the practice of
law abroad. OF the few members
still living each resides now in the
State from which he was chosen
for his Cabinet position-Reagan
in Texas, Hunter in virginia, Watts
in Alabama, Davis in North Caro-
lima, and Toombs in Georgia. Only
the civil branches Of the Confeder,
ate Government are now represent
ed, all the secretaries of Var and
Navy having passed away. Hunter
and Toombs were Secretaries of
State, Davis and Watts Attorney
Generals, and Reaga{ Postmaster
General. Reagan is probably the
most ective, physically and mentals
ly, Of any of those remaining. He
is strong and vigorous, though he
was at deaths door a year ago, wien
an operation by some sklllful ply

sAMJoNESs GEORGIAsTORY

The service at the Gospel tent
yesterday morning was too early
6, ,o'clock-for the reporters, but
there was a point made by the
evangelist which out to go on re-
cord, and therefore we notice it edi
torially. .g
The preacher was devoting few
minutes to the subject of prayer,
especially appealing to the church
members to do a days work Of good
deeds that they might be blessed at
the night service and might be able
to bring others in. HIS text was,
"Trust in God and do good" The
sermon was only about ten minutes
long, and, was mainly built on a
Georgia COW story. lie said there
was a Methodist preacher in Geor-
gla who came in home after making
the round Of the circuit, and as usu.
al when lie got home asked his
wife at once how all the family
we're. She said they We're all well
but the COW; that the COW had been
sick for Some days, and she had
doGe all she could for her, but she
got no better. The husband prear
cher said to his wife, "Have you
prayed for the cow?' "Well no.
she said. She had not; she had
neglected that, and she would try
it. "But," SAID the husband, "if
you pray. haye you got anything to
stand on?' "Yes," said the wife;
"while the cow was well and giving
milk, sent every morning a quart
of the milk to our poor neighbors
sick child" "Then," said the hus>
band, "that will do to stand on, and
you can pray" And she prayed,
and the COW got well right off.
Now" said the evangelist, "wa
have only five days to work to con>
vert all these sinners, and it must
De done oy prayer--Dut we must
have something to stand upon. The
way to get something to stand on is
to spend this day in good works,
good deeds. Christians ought to
trust in God as if they did no work,
and work as if they did not trust.
Go out this day, all of you: Look
up the sick and administer to them,
find hungry children and feed them,
buy a dress for some poor, helnless
woman and send it to her. Work
all day and then come here to>night
and pray, and you will have some
thing to stand on Nashville

Seventeen Year Locust Harmless

WASHINGTON, May25. Prof. G.
Y. Riley, chief Of the chronological
division Of the Agricultural Departs
ment, receives many letters from
the West and Southwest, which
indicate that the farmers of those
sections are alarmed in consequence
OF the predictions of visitation of
seventeen year locusts. The aps
pearance of ordinary locusts in
California and Texas in very de-
structive numbers adds to the
alarm. Prof. Riley says the seven
teen-year locusts whose visit he has
predicted are harmless to growing
crops, and do no injury except to
the twigs of forest and fruit trees.
Wherever young orchards have
been planted on land which has
been cleared during the last seven
teen Years the trees are liable to
suffer somewhat, but it is probable
that the use of kerosene emulsion
sprayed upon the trees will protect
them. The ordinary locust, which
is so destructive to growing crops,
has jaws which cut. while the Seven
teen year species, moe properly
called the cieada, has only beak
through which he sucks his nour'
ishment.

One of the results of the excite.
ment following the supposed lynch-
ing is a serious shooting affray. A
moody, surly negro by the name of
Jim Rutledge, shut up his black,
smith shop yesterday morning and
spent the day on the street, taking
a drink occasionally, and induIging
in various threats, most of which
were directed at a saloon,keeper
named Collins. Mr.. Collins came
near shooting him in the morning,
but did not, and at half past 10 at
night Rutledge forced a difficulty,
when Mr.. Collins, a brother to the
one involved in the morning, drew
pistol and the negro lodged round
a corner two doors off from him.
In supposed effort to get a shot at
Mr., Collins he exposed his right
shoulder and head, at which the
shot was fired, taking effect in the
shoulder, nearly cutting the axillary
artery. DR.. j. II. Sewer, who at
the time happened to be in direct
range of the bullet, attended the
wounded man and reports him
dangerously wounded. Consider
able excitement still prevails among
the negroes. Threats are made
against the Collines, but they are
three in number and very brave.

Killing in Polk County.

A shooting scrape occurred at the
Half Way House. Polk county,
last Tuesday evening, between Babe
Harper and Ham Wimberly in
which the former was killed and
the latter badly and perhaps fatally
wounded, The particulars, as given
by persons from that county, are as
follows Kimberly was toll-gate
keeper at that point and demanded
toll from Harper for his team before
passing through. This the latter
refused to pay, claiming to be a els
tizen OF the county, and attempted
to pass on when Wimberly stopped
the horses. At this Harper fred
two shots at Wimberly, both taking
effect. The latter returned the fire
with three shots, all of them strike
ing Harper in the head or neck and
causing almost instant death.
Wlmberly's wounds, it is thought,
will prove fatal.
