A TERRIBLE STORY.
Young Girl Lured From Home and Found
Naked in a swamp.

al
TuLLAHoMA, August S.-The good people of
Tullahoma are very much excited over the har
rowing details of young girls ruin and utter
Generalization. Some time ago Mamie Rob
erts, a young girl of good character, residing
with her sister-in-aw at Tracy City, Tenn,
was summoned as witness in lawsuit
against certain parties there. In order to
prevent her testifying, two men, who are we'll
known here, lured her to Tullahoma under
promise of getting her place here. They
brought her to this place and placed her in
house of bad repute. She soon become known
as fallen woman, and under the city
laws was notified to leave.
Without money, she had no
means of reaching any other place or return
ing home, so she wandered into swamp q
mile from the city. There she has lived for
over seven weeks. Unsophisticated and with
out knowledge of the world, she has not made
her whereabouts discovered, and as it was
learned that she had become almost naked
from exposure and living in the woods, some
Christian ladies engaged the services of officers
to find her and bring her back to the city, so
that something might be done for her. After
long search she was discovered, in a pitiable
state, almost starved, and with not
piece of cloth wound about her hips. She was
brought to town today, fed and clothed, and
in company with good lady of this city was
today taken to Nashville, where she will be
placed in a reformatory.
1t was learned from the poor girl that some
her daily while she was in the swamp, but the
brutes fatty refused to take her anything to
eat or even q drink of water.
The affair has created deep indignation, and
mutterings like distant thunder are heard
against the two men who brought her here.

Bugs Bury an Objectionable Snake.

From the McKeesport News
A short time ago small snake was killed
near the residence of Mr.. Fillabaum the Lincoln
township gardener The reptile left lying
the field of slaughter, and nothing more waa
thought of it until few days later when Mr.. Fila
baum had occasion to go the spot when his at
tention was attracted to a number of pinch bugs
crawling around in that vicinity.
The gentleman watched the operations Of the lit
tie insects and discovered that they were dig
ging q ditch or trench, which, when completed, was
used as receptacle for the body of the snake,
which was rolled into the ditch AMI the dirt care

insects, and they took objections to the b)dy when

A HEROIC YOUNG LADY.
She Holds n Mad Dog In Her Arms to Save
Her Brothers and Sisters.

RALEIGH, N. G., August l0.-[Speciai1 /
Yesterday, near Hickory, Samuel Burlley's
dog ran mad and dashed among the family,
biting as he went. The eldest child of Burk-
ley, aged II, seeing the danger TO which her
little brothers and sisters were exposed, with
great heroism caught and held the dog until
the children could get in the house.
Casting the dog as far from
her as she could she ran for the door. hut was
overtaken and severely bitten on the hip before
she got into the house. She was also bitten on
the hand whilo holding tho dog.
After thus getting away the dog bit two
cows and then came back to the house, and
when the children spoke TO it through a
window endeavored to get at them. The heroic
young lady ran to a neighbor's, who shot the
dog. A physician cautorized the wounds.

To Dam the Canyons of the Rockies.
From the Danvpr Tribune

No grander idea has ever been suggested
than that proposed by our national survey
to dam the canyons of the Rocky mountains
in order to form vast reservoirs of water, that
may be used as needed to keep the arid lands
of the great dry basins irrigated and fertile.
The plan will, if carried out, be equally valua-
BILE in preventing floods in the Missouri and
Lower Mississippi valleys. 1t is believed that
10000 square miles of land may thus be re-
claimed for cultivation. The extent of this
may be seen by the fact that the total extent
of land now under cultivation in the United
States is less than 10000 square miles. Dams
to regulate the spring flooding, retain the sup
ply and feed it out slowly, as may be needed,
all summer. We shall by such works NOT
greatly surpass the engineering feats of the
ancients.

STRANGER THAN FICTION,
How Rich Planters Daughter Disgraced
Her Name-She Marries q Black Negro.

Her Name-She Marries a Black Negro.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, August 8.-A sad tale OF
guilt and suffering, one Of the cases which so
often verify the old adage, "Truth is stranger
than fiction" was contained in q hearing for
custody of o child in chancery court today.
This is the story a rich planter in North
Carolina had three pretty and cultured daugh-
tiers; two were happily married, the third re-
NAMED with the father. whose age seemed
smoothed by the faithful attentions of her
and q favored former slave. One morn
ing both daughter and servant
were missing. Nothing was heard
of them for years. Recently q son of one
of the married daughters met in road
er's daughter had eloped with the negro, by
whom she had borne child, and the three
had lived together for many years. The
woman had chosen to assume the name and
garb and perform the labors of a negress.
Learning of her fathers death, and that q
fortune awaited her, the erring mother return
ed to her former home, sought out q kind
hearted old matron, whom she induced to
promise to secure and rear the child, in whose
favor she executed a will, and died. The good
old woman came to Knoxville and found the
child in the custody of its father, who refused
to surrender it. A habeas corpus proceed
ings followed. A hearing was had before
the chancellor today. The father, a tall,
black negro, somewhat stopped with age, with
dull face and clothed i'll tattered coat, looking
the extreme opposite of q refined white wo-
mans Seducer, appeared in conrt, leading
bright-faced mulatto girl of about seven years,
every feature showing its mixed lineage.
Mr. Hy Cooper, of Cooper & Front, read the
petition, and when asked TO state his defense,
the old negro said he had concluded to give
the child up. The chancellor commended the
act as a partial atonement for the wrong done,
and granted an order for the delivery of the
child to the white woman, who, faithful to her
promise, was in court to receive it. Thus
mulatto bastard grandchild is made the owner
of n third of q rich planters estate.

From Birth to the Grave

We carry with us certain physical traits, as ws
do certain mental characteristics. Insomuch
that psychologists have striven to designate by
generic titles certain temperaments-as the
bilious, the nervous, the Emphatic. The in-
dividual with sallow complexion is set down
as bilious, often rightly SO. If the saffron in the
hue of his skin is traceable to the bile in the
blood, its presence in the wrong place instead
of the liver, will also be evinced by fur on the
tongue, pain beneath the right ribs and
through the right shoulderblade, sick head
ache, constipation, fatulence and Indigestion.
For the relief of this very common, but not
essentially perilous complaint. there is no more

Maxwell received it indiferently, the ashen

where he and Landgratf had been placed to-
gether, and announced the final moment had
arrived, and Maxwell paled and pulled his
fingers nervously His was the first death

doom calmly, though he was plainly growing

What is Truth?

This question was asked 10y q GER
tain Roman governor two thousand
years ago. Many wise men and philo-
sophers from that day to this have
puzzled their brains over this ques-
ton, without the world being any the
wiser for it. But Notwithstanding
this, the the truth is that for all clas-
ses of travellers, "rhe Burlington" is
by all means the road to patronize,
whether you GO east, west, north, or
south. For trip to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, or to any part of Mime
sofa, Dakota or Minnesota, Dakota or
Montana, "rhe Burlington" Is the
quickest, safest and best route and by
its connections with the great BUR-

it offers the best through route to

Literary Bulls.

A "bull'' may be said to be a gross
contradiction, OH bIunder in speech.
It was derived from one Obadiah
Bull, a lawyer in the time of Henry
VIII, who was celebrated, rather
than famous, for the blnnders which
fell from his lips when he pleaded be-
fore the Judges.
A witty Irishman, upon being ask
ed for the definition of bull, said
''If you see two cows lying down
alone In the meadow, the one stand
ing up is invariably bull.'
Miss Edgeworth, in her essay on
"Irish Bulls" gives the following;
"When I first saw you, 1 thought it
was you, and now see it is your
brother" ~ met you this morning
and you did not come: I'll meet you
tomorrow morning, whether you
come or not"
"Oh, If had staid in that climate
until now, I'd been dead two years. !"
During the Irish rebellion an Irish
paper published this Item: "A man
named Mccarthy was run over by a
passenger train and killed on We'd
nesday. He was injured in asimilar
way two years ago."
In 1884 the Irish House of Conn
mons issued an order to this effect:
Any member unable to write may
/ get another member to frank his let
ter for him, but only on condition
that he certifies with his own hand
writing his inability on the back OF
| it,
A weIl-known English epitaph
commences as follows:
Reader, IL thou canst read.n This
is somewhat akin to the hand-board
which read: t'The ford is dangerous
when this board is covered by the
| water.n
Mixed metaphors can be classed
among the plumbers. Justice Minister
Hye, in 1S4S, In speech to the Wen
ma students, impressiyely declared
"The chariot of the revolution Is roll
ing along, and crashing its teeth al
1t rolls.n A Pan-Germanist Mayor
ofa Rhineland city said, In an address
to the Emperor: nNo Austria, nc
PRUSSIA, only one Germany; such
i were the words the mouth Of your
Imperial Majesty has always had ii
his eye.''

For Ugly Girls.

An ugly girl should, says the Phila-
delphia Press, know that the surest
way to keep her homeIy features or
awkward figure i'll the remember
ance of others is for her to constantly
to remember them herself. Self
consciousness is disagreeable in q
beautiful woman: in an ugly one it is
intolerable. Are these girls with
dull eyes and large noses then to
give up all hope of pleasing their
companions? By no means. A Wo-
man who for many years led the
highest social life of Pennsylvania
had neither fortune nor n remarkable
intellect. She was stout, red-haired,
small featured and freckled; but her
voice was sweet and low, her heart
big enough to take in all the world /;
her sympathies vice, her tact infinite.
She was simple, genuine and as UNI
selfish as an innocent child. The
ugly girl who cultivates such charms
as these needs no iron braces to COM
press her large joints, nor diet of acid
fruits to remove her plump cheeks,
to make her lovely and beloved.
