Suspicious Case.

A man named Carrigan, claiming
to be from near Lynchburg. Tenn,
was ,arrested Tuesday and jailed as
supposed horse thief. He came in
town Sunday afternoon riding bay
mare about II years old, and leading
a mule. These he tried to dispose
of Monday morning under circum
stances exciting suspicion, which
caused his arrest.
Carrigan has since given his name
as Rufus H. Smith, and now states
that he resides near Flintville, Lin
coin county, Tenn. His father and
family, he says, live in Winchester,
and his brother teaches school near
there. Several parties here who do
not know Rufus Smith personally,
are acquainted with bis relatives as
given by him. He is still held how
ever, until other suspicious circum-
stances are cleared up. He says his
previf us, inconsistent statements Of
name and residence etc, were made
in fun.

The COurtland POStOffice.
ThOs. Simmons Bound Over Upon the
Charge of Robbery.

On the night Of the Sth inst, some,
one or more, parties entered the Post
Office at Courtland and robbed the
safe of postal and private funds
amounting to about $40O. Thomas
Simmons, son of the Postmaster,
was arrested for the offense, and had
an examination before Commissioner
J. T. Green on SATURDAY.. as the re-
suit of which he was held to bail in
the sum of $500.
It is said that Thomas 5immons
was frequently ia and about the
Postofice, and at times assisted his
father in his official duties. He was
familiar with the combination Of the
safe which had evidently been open
ed by the combination when robbed,
as the lock was found in tact and
fast the morning after. Simmons
had also spent money more freely
than usual after the safe was robbed,
which he accounted for by the state
ment that he had won some money
on base ball game at Tuscumbia.
He gave hond.-Mercury.

Forced Labor in Egypt.

The conditions of forced labor do not
seem to differ much in the different parts
of the country Nowhere do the labor
ers receive any pay or food or shelter,
while their treatment by their task mas
ters would seem to be simply brutal.
Mr.. Stuart describes the system as he
saw it in operation in tie province Of
Keneh, in Upper Egypt. A cut of about
eighteen feet in depth had to be MADE
through a conglomerate of sand and
gravel; this was fapked right and left by
high embankments con- tructed of the
material taken from the trench, and
along the bottom and on the slopes "men
swarmed thickly, like bees on honey
comb, for distance Of about mile in
length" The entire strength Of the i'm
pressable labor in the province, amount
ing to about 40, 900 men, was concentra-
ted on this work.
The men toiled from sunrise to sum
set, with the thermometer at 80 degrees
in the shade, having only brief inter-
val at midday for meal Of bread soaked
in unfltered Nile water. This, with q
similar meal before beginning and after
leaving off, constituted the days dietary.
The laborers provided their own baskets
for carrying the excayated soil, and
their own tools, when they used any, but
most employed their fingers. Ogerseers
walked about among them armed with
sticks, with which they struck the men
while they were carrying loads upon
their heads, often without any apparent
reason. At night they slept upon the
~vro,,nd olr,oct without alntbinr opd
quite without shelter, though the air
was often very cold. Mr.. Stuart has Of
ten seen negro slaves al work in the cot
ton plantations Of Cuba, and the con-
victs at Portland, and both were to be
envied, in his opinion, by the side OF
these fellabs.

her long career and died lamented by
large circle Of friends and acquaint-
ances. she was twice married, her
second husband, John Cook, diving
here some years ago. Her first hus-
band was Peter Allen, a colored fifer
in the war for Texan independence,
concerning whose tragic fate the
Huntsville Independent says:
"When Capt. Peyton Wyatt and
his boys came marching down the
street one fine morning, all ready to
60 to Texas, Peter begged to be per-
mitted to go along and make the r
marshal music for them. He went
along and afterwards was captured
with portion of the company.
The cruel Santa Anita thumped up
to Peter on his wooden leg, just as
the captured soldiers were about to
be shot, and ordered Peter, at the
price Of his lite, to coax from his fife
the notes of "Home Sweet Home"
that nis companions might hear and
die with all the deeper regret. "No,"
said the plucky faithful slave, "Tll
not play, but III just go along with
the rest Of the boys Y And that was
the last of Peter.

Effects Of Riches,

II you think the matter over without
prejudice, you cannot fail to understand
why rich and poorIpeople, even though
related, may not meet on common
ground. Put your best foot forward
ever SO wisely when your rich cousin
comes to visit you, yet you are the
while conscious that she knows it Is
your best foot, and thinks it no great
shakes; that she iawar,liy compares
your poverty with her own superfuity.
and rather plumes herself upon it, as if
it were an Unborn grace OF her own
misses her luxuries at your fireside, and
regards you as person of small account
to be content with such meagre belong
ings. You are, perhaps, awar, that she
tolerates you as relative, when other
wise she would have nothing to do with
you. and nothing in common with you,
financially speaking. When you walk
out beside her you feel the shabbiness of
your clothes, their lack of style-clothes
which, it may be, you never before sus-
pected of skabbiness, or thought of in
connection with style. You begin to
feel rs if your manners, your way of
thought, your speech, your tastes, are
behind the times. You belong to diff
ferent worlds and atmospheres. Her
money has placed her en- rapport with
all the nineteenth century has to offer,
has enabled her to make the most of
every talent and opportunity travel at
home and abrosd, acquaintance with arts
and literature, familiar intercourse with
the thinkers. Prosperity has made her
tolerant, culture hos toned her enthusi-
asm, and you become presently ashamed
OF your own turbulent ones. You sus-
pect her of being choracterless because
her mind is symmetrically developed,
till presently you discover that what
you believe to be character in yourself
is merely malformation, a neglect of
healthy development. Thus she becomes
more or less reproach to US; our
egotism resents her superiority we feel
as if sort of injustice had been done US.
And we presently realize that the rich
and the poor relation can not pull
together.

Bishop Dudley On the Negro
Question.

Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, has paper
in tie June Century. entitled "How Shall
we Help the Negro?" We quote the fol-
lowing: "Still the problem remains, how
shall these alien races dwell in safety side
by side. each free and unhampered in the
enjoyment of life and liberty and in pursuit
of its happiness They are the descendants
Of one father, the redeemed children Of one
God, the citizens of one nation, neighbors
with common interests, and yet are sepa-
rated by the results of centuries of develop
ment. physical, mental and moral, ,-sepa-
rated by inherited traditions, by the spirit
of caste. by the recollection of wrongs done
and suffered. though it may be in general,
as innocent in the perpetrator as in the suf-
ferer. How shall the rights of all be duly
guarded How shall the lower race be
lifted up to higher stages of human devel-
opment, for only SO can the rights Of the
superior race be made secure for the pres
ent and for the future, and this is the
chiefest right Of them who are now cast

individuals of the higher race; by their
