The London Telegraph Discusses the
Pugillsts OF Long Ago.
A complimentary dinner was given in
1911 to Molyneux, the black, after his
second battle with Tom Crib. The chair
was occupied by the Earl of Seton, and
forty other members OF the two houses OF
Parliament took their places at the board.

in which for the second time Tom Crib
defeated Virginia's dusky gladiator, the
famous Capt. Barclay Of IRE, who had
trained the winner for his engagement,

The Boys Tricked by a Horse.

Fran the A D,ericus tGG.) Republican.
Tuesday night last three young men
left Americas for Dooly county, in q one
horse wagon, TO have hunt on Gus Nor
CAMS place. Thew were Bill Minis, Ar
thur Rylander and Charlie Chapman, and
as they were to travel all night, some Of
them slept in the bed of the wagon as
they felt inclined, while another held the
reins to keep the horse gong. About
O'Clock they arrived at Limestone creek
in Dooly, with Bill Minis asleep, and the
other two on the seat having a social chat.
They didn't know that the river was
rising and had backed up the creek
making it pretty deep and they drove in.
Presently the water rushed over the sides
of the wagon and was about 20 float Mims
away, but he awakened with a cry for
them to stop pouring water on him. The
horse stopped just where the water was
deepest, and no coaxing, beating, or ge-
having could make him move. Rylander
twisted bis tongue so badly clucking to
start the horse on, that he had cold
and sore throat. He then crawled out
on the horse's back, and punched with
his heels until they were sore, but the
old horse would only kick and rear. Go
forward he would not. One OF them be-
gan to cry and pray, wishing he was at
nome. At last Minis dotted all clothing

neck. He sent up howl, but tried TO
lead the horse out; that old fellow only
shook his head, snOrted and tried 10 paw
him. Minis went 70 the bank, aud,
as IL was bitter cold, begged Char
lie and Arthur TO carry his cloth
ing. But they were using the
rod on the horse TO make him carry them
out. The old horse had a spite against
the boys and was going 70 get even and
wouldn't move. He was getting cold and
had been robbed Of his nights rest, and
they had to feel It. He commenced rear
ing and kicking; 80 Rylander doffed his
clothing, all but cravat, jumped int the
creek and went 10 Minis. Tney Rugged
one another TO get warmth. Charlie
prayed and wept louder, and seeing the
water was still rising pulled of and went
ashore. Minis said if be had only
taken his gun he would have shot the old
horse right then. The boys shivered in
the cold for twenty minutes, then all three
went 10 try 10 get the wagon out. One
took hold Of the bride and each one OF the
others took bind wheel, gave pull aud
push, and the old horse moved az nicely
and gently 70 the opposite shore, and With
kind OF sardouic utterance went 10
nibblirg the branches OF shrubbery. while
the boys made a large FIRE. dried their
clothing, and then had their hunt. They

Born to be a Musician.
From the West Point (Ga.) ReaOs.


On last Wednesday evening we were in
vited by j. w. Burdett to go to his house
and see what he termed musical prodigy.
We accepted the invitation extended and
was soon made acquainted with Barbara
Robinson, little cOlored girl about
years old. She was taken into the parlOr
and the young ladies present played such
pieces they chose on the piano, when this
little negro would reproduce the pro-
duction in an almost perfect manner.
Those who know Barbara assured us
that she has never studied music, and
that the accomplishment is entirely
natural. To test her powers Of imitation
we requested that piece be played that
she had never heard. She at once took a
seat at the piano and ratified off the music
in good style, and what is singular. made
but few mistakes. During the time we
listened TO this wonderful little negro
playing, nearly an hour, she never spoke
a word. and unless spoken TO kept her eyes
fixed on the KEYS of the piano, az If alb
sOrbed in the instrument she 80 much
loves. Barbara is nurse in the family
of r. A. 5. Freeman, and we are informed
that she will reproduce any piece of
music rendered by members OF the
family, or by visitors to the house, and
when sent on an errand will return, and
If allowed to do so, will play pieces heard
while absent, with remarkable correct
ness. This little negro is certainly en-
dOwed with extraordinary musical talent,
and will, IL given musical advantages,
become famous for her mplishment,
and like blind Tom, become a coveted
prize for those who would win fortune
by the aid Of a musical prodigy.

The best speech that was made during
court week came from Alec CulDers0n.
He was ON trial for assault with intent to
murder. When he got up to make his
statement to the jury he knew that his
fate hung trembling in the balance, and
he determined to use an argument that in
these hard times would fall with telling
effect. He said:
''Gemmen, l don't want to 90 to the

stay here so can work and pay him what
