We regret to learn of q difficulty
which occurred at Carrolltqh, west
of this place, last Saturday evening
stm which several parties both white
and cnlored We're concerned. The
facts, as we have been able To CLEAN
them from hearsay, are about as fol-
lows: A Mr., Bob Moore WAS attack
ed by three negroes known in Car
rollton rs the Browns, who indulged
very freely In cursing and otherwise
abusing Mr.. Moore. Mr.. Jas. Lid
dell happened upon the Gene about
that time and taking in the situation
lent his assistance to Mr.. Moore, and
succeeded in driving the negroes
away. A short time afterward and
while Mr.. Liddell was at the hotel
eating supper, someone told him that
the crowd of negroes were down the
street cursing him and making
threats. Mr.. Liddell went 10 where
the negroes were standing and en-
quired Of them what so much distur-
bance was about, when one of ne
groes answered him very politely,
"Nothing, boss" and u second one
answered, ut is none of your It'd
d--n business" With this Mr..
Liddell attempted to strike the ne
gro, who drew a pistol and fired, the
ball taking effect In Mr.. Liddell's
arm about half way between the
wrist and elbow, without serious re-
suit. Two or three other gentlemen
had arrived upon the scene by this
time, and - general fire of pistol
shots ensued, wherein Mr.. L., receiv-
ed a flesh wound in the leg, and a
couple Of the negroes received
wounds also. Our advices state that
the negroes We're released on bonds
of one hundred and fifty dollars each
and that no further disturbance is
unprecedented.

We had the pleasure of meeting in
our city during the latter part of last
week our young and valured friend,
Mr., J. j. Gage, Jr., of Slate Springs.
Mr.. Gage reports everything wide-a-

his school is meeting with much en-
enlargement and success. 1t affords
US much qualification to know of his
success, for Johnny Gage has certain

Rev. Sam Jones is credited with
having said the most beautiful sight
i'll the world is to see q family around
a cheerful fire, with the head of the
family reading his local newspaper
which he has paid for in advance.
There is n other sight that beats
that and it is the poor family that
has nothing upon which to live, no
matter what the cause, eating q plen-
tlful dinner which the charity of a
broad philanthropic religion has fur
nished them, without telling the
children of the faults of their parents.
Advice, counsel and prayer are cheap
commodities in the exchange of hui
man life; but BACON, beetsteak and
Hour cost something in actual values;
and herein comes the religion of
Christ.

1t has been said by many good and
wise men that religion always advan-
yes in times of general financial de-
preston. This is not a SANDER upon
religion, but a fact deducible from
Providential intervention in the af-
fairs of men. When the country is
moved by active and successful bust
ness engagements the minds of men
are carried forward upon the flowing
tide of speculative interests, If this
be a fact in it's relation to business
matters, there never was q better
time for the people of Grenada to
think of the eternal future than dur
ing the last month, for business was
almost entirely suspended

Fenton, we shall be justified in taking n
very close look at anything ne can tnd
here"
There were several books on the table
They were for tho most part Old account
books, some of them bearing Flinters name
They apparently related to transactions
which had taken place some years previously
in Australia One volume was of different
kind. II was q cheap metallic memorandum
book, such as a man like Flinter might very
well have used for the purpose of keeping
notes of incidents Of importance. Eastmead
took it up and opened il. For some time be
appeared to be examining it with Il look Of
bewilderment on his honest face.
" can't make any thing Of this, can yon!
Is it Greck.'
He handed the open book to me, and to
my disappointment ] saw that, whatever
might be the nature Of its contents, l was
none the wiser through possessing it. Every
page was covered with cabalistic marks like
nothing had ever seen before.
u think we may as we'll leave that behind
u.s." said the chief constable. "But 1 am
going to take these other books to examine
at my leisure"
Iacquiesce1 for the moment in his pro-
posal to leave the little note book in cipher
where we had found it, but before we had
completed our close examination Of the two
rooms had changed my mind, and without
any scruple regarding the robbery l was
committing upon the unconscious Flinter,
slipp-l the volume into my pocket.
It would be tedious to tell Of the long
hours which we spent in examining tho other
portions of tho hall. Nowhere did VIC find
any evidence that seemed to bear on the
crime Of which the place had been the scene.
Indeed. Eastmead warned me beforehand
that this would probably be the result The
one part of the hall which had escaped his
notice OH his first visit had been the secret
staircase The other articles which he had
found, and which might possibly be Of use
against Flinter, had evidently boon brought
to the hall after our party had landed from
the yacht and consequently after Daisy's
arrest.
When our tedious task YVES completed, we
went to the dining room, where we found
Dr. Branksome awaiting us. Cold meat and
wine wero upon the table; and we were so
thoroughly exhausted by our labors that we
we're glad to make hurried meal before de-
parting to catch the last train to York.
