WOULDN'T RECITE A LIE.
A Little Incident in Wards Seminary at
Nashville, Tenn.

NASHVILLE, May 2l-[Special.l- IA strike
took place at Wards seminary several days
ago, which has leaked out and is being COM
mented on in a commendatory manner by
those who have heard it. The history class in
the academic department were reciting their
lesson, in which it was stated that Hon. JEFF
ferson Davis was captured during the war ar
rayed in lady's garb. They were made in
dignant at this and refused to go any further,
and the class was dismissed.
They were given ride on the dummy to
pacify them, and matters have been going
along smoothly since. Professor Hancock was
asked about the 'strike," and said that the
girls had been promised a holiday and did this
to get it, The history used in the school is
Higginson's, and Professor Hancock says it is
like nearly all other school histories, in that it
gives fair and accurate account of the late
war. "The strike" did not amount to any
thing in itself, but it shows that they are suffi
GENTLY informed to discover false statement
in regard to the president of the late confed-
eracy, and have enough courage to protest
against being taught any such stuff. Professor
Hancock has ordered another history, and will
examine it with special reference to its state
ment to the part taken in the late war by the
bows who wore the gray.

brave colonel IN the war and his soldier boys

Wen, il does look like there is no sure way

about turning the left cheek II man smote
you on the right, but OF the same time he said
he didn't know whether he could do it or not
if it came all OF q sudden. Ny opinion is that
he is n good deal like sam Jones about that,
and Sam would pop a fcller SO quick it would
make his head swim. Human-nature is the

DOWN THE STREAM.
The Tragic Drowning of a Young Lady in
South Carolina.

GhEENv1LLE, S. c., May 24-[Special. /
The following particulars of the sad drowning
of Miss Juliet Earle, of Gowensville, on last
Monday evening, were received here yester-
day. Miss Earle and her brother had been to
a Sunday school convention at Mt. Zion. On
their return home they had to cross the North
Tiger river at Benson's mill. When they
reached the stream they found it very much
swollen by the recent heavy rains. but con-
cluded to try and cross it. They found, after
going short distance, that it would be impos-
sible, the stream being very deep and the cur
rent swift. Mr.. Earle tried to turn his team
and drive out again, but in his attempt to turn
his buggy was washed out into the current and
down the river. Mr. Earle and his sister re-
manned in the buggy until it had floated to the
dam, when both were thrown out and dashed
over the dam to the rocks below. Miss Earle
threw up her hands and sunk, and was seen no
more until her body was found, about o'clock
yesterday morning. Mr.. Earle also sank, but
came up again, and was recued by the miller,
who was a helpless witness of the whole TRACE
dy. On examination it was found that Miss
Earle's skull had been crushed in. 1t is sup
posed that she met her death when she was
dashed against the sharp rocks below the dam.
The deceased is sixteen years old, and has
many friends in THE city and county, who Bit
terly grieve over her horrible death.

Negro Ernie.

Negro Brute.
RALEIGH, n. c., May Especial. News
was received here today of terrible crime
and its awful punishment in Craven county.
il young lady teacher was taken by negro,
carried into the woods and bound hand and
foot, the negro following up his vile deed by
outraging her repeatedly. Boosting that he
would return after while and take her life,
he left her. Friends missing her, searched the
country in large numbers, and at length dis
covered her bound to a tree. She stated the
facts as given above, and expressed the belief
that the wretch would soon return. The
friends cut the cords which bound her and re-
heved her otherwise but requested her to re-
main in the same place while they secreted
themselves to await the return of the negro.
Ere long he steadily approached. A dozen
rifle barrels were leyeltd at him and he sur
rendered. The lady being asked what she
wished done with him, replied that she wished
him skinned alive, whereupon he was tlayed,
living but O few minutes afterward. His friends
were informed of the facts and got his body.
Every person is interested in their own
affairs, and if this meets the eye of any one
who is suffering from the effects of torpid

getting well. Get bottle of Prickly Ash

The Remarkable Career of a Southern Lit

=
erary Woman.
From the New York Graphic.
A little woman with shining black eyes and
face framed in short black curs passed me on
Broadway yesterday That, said one Of those men
who know everybody, is Mrs. Mary 4. Bryan. You
rarely hear her name yet she is veteran in jour
nal!sIn, ana not woman in town is better placed.
she Is at the head of Munro's periodicals, and has
tho confidence and respect Of the house in It's most
substantial form. Listen to this She is Georgian,
and ran away from boarding school at fourteen and
married. She mother at fifteen and an editor
Of an Atlanta newspaper at seventeen. Then she
moved with her husL and to plantation on the Red
river. The river took the plantation at one bite
and ruined them. Those were the turbulent days
of reconstruction. At Natcbitoches no white man
dared to edit q newspaper, Mrs. Bryan undertook
it, an old Frenchman supplying the money. Mrs,
Bryan stuck pistol in her belt and endeayorcd to
rally the raralyzed French Population Of the parish
and rescue their estates by inviting white emlgra-
ton. She was pursued by stones through broken
windows but sine kept up until malaria and over
work prostrated her.
She was then urged TO 20 on the stage and the
daughters of the prominent citizens offered to join
company she would form, She wrote the play her
self, put her money in scenery and costumes, the
rehearsals were all held the play was to be pro-
ducad the next day. On going home she found her
child seized with spinal meningitis. With her Cal
whistle training she thorght II was punishment
brought upon her for going the stage. The child
lived for six weeks, and died in her arms while she
was correcting proof with her left hand. Then
came an offer TO 90 to Atlanta and start the Sunny
South. This was the turning point. She not only
edited the paper but literally wrote 1t under pseud-
onyms OF every sort. Then appeared as serial her
first novel, 'Manche," which was published after
wards in book form by Appleton, and brought this
plucAy woman reputation and money. After several
oliors from Munro q Co. she came to New York,
She has earned and deserves her success. Isuppose
she is the only woman living who writes who can
say she never has had a manuscript rejected. She
has never even had the chance to offer one.

Mexican Bandits Given the Chance to Es-
caie Under Fire.

cape Under Fire.
DURANGO, Mexico May 23.-I Special THE
following are the facts in reference to the kill
ing of William Muller at his hacienda, the
Estancuela- twenty-five leagues east and near
San Miguel del MeZquital. Several robbers,
assisted by some of the local poems, attacked
the house while the family were partaking of
supper. Mrs Muller and son, a school teacher
and Mr.. Muller were present. 1T seems that
the intention was only to kill Muller, for they
shot him five times and then finished him with
knives. The school teacher was badly beaten,
and then the robbers took their seats to Joy
a good supper. Before they were through the
teacher came to, but his head was raised and
brought in contact with the floor of stone,
which, after few efforts, quoted him for the
evening.
After completing their supper the house and
store were searched for all the valuables that
could be found. Mrs. Muller was dragged
about quite roughly and compelled to show
where any valuabes were kept. Just what
was realized we could not learn. Soon after
the killing lot Of soldiers and police were on
the ground. Several of the robbers We're
known and soon seven were in the hands Of
the authorities, and the party started for
the judge of the town of the jurisdiction, prob
ably San Miguel del Mezquetal, but as ordi-
nary trials are long, cost money and are not
always either profitable or satisfactory, these
seven prisoners were given the short way to
justice by the leg dc fugo; that is, they were
allowed to try to escape, and in this
efforts for freedom, were all Shot down. In
Mexico when any prisoner tries to escape an
officer has the right to kill HIM on the spot
The officers and soldiers were in full pursuit OF
the others engaged in this robbery and murder,
and it is expected that all will be captured and
killed. The authorities here are determined
that Durango shall be free from this class Of
people, if it takes one-third of the in
habitants, The timbered mountains in the
west of Durango has been for years harbor for
a class of the worst men i'll Mexico, just as it is
along the Rio Grande, and nothing but what is
being done now can clear the country Of such
men. 1t is quite certain that some of the poems
who had a spite against Guilermo Muller
planned and invited these robbers to come and
help in the robbing, AS Muller was one of the
best shots in the country they feared for a few
to make the attack, and the first shot must
have disabled him or he would have killed
some of them. No ten of them would have at
tackled him, giving him any chance to protect
himself
