unruly Skinner.

John Skinner, col, the would-be
assassin, cut another notch on his
stick of bad deeds, Friday afternoon
last. Tailor Long and his porter Abe
Crabtree, colored, prepared bucket
of white wash with which to give all
the cells of the Jail coating. On
entering SINNERS cell they were
rushed upon by Skinner who seized
the bucket and threw the contents
over. the iailer and his attendant, aud
made desperate effort to escape,
swearing he had rather die than DO
taken. Ills cell door was finally
closed, the sheriff aud two
policeman sent for and the desperate
hand-cufTed after severe tussle.
Fer hours after, he raved, foamed at
the mouth, and declared vengeance to
all living creatures.
Two other prisoners were confined
in the cell with Skinner, but their
persuasions were of no avail and the
jailer very wisely thought II better to
remove them to another cell and give
the rebellious culprit plenty of ROOM
Skinner is desperate character and
should be kept in irons until his trial
as he is liable to do much damage II
allowed Che privileges of other prison

Lou. T. Gaines Dead.

Friday about noon, in Cadiz, his
old home, Lou. T. Gaines passed
quietly away, surrounded by many
sorrowing relatives and friends.
When he passed through the city
Thursday on his way from California,
where he had been to try to regain
strength, it was recognized by his
friends that his days were numbered,
yet they were 10th to believe that they
were to lose one who had lived among
them and by his many noble qualities,
won a warm place in their hearts.
Lou. may have had his faults but
withal no more unselfish, generous
hearted young man ever lived, and
If he had an enemy we never knew 1t,
but on the other hand he leaves large
numbers of friends in this and other
cities where he has lived, who will
sadly miss him with his pleasant
smiles aud companionable disposition.
None knew him but 10 like him.
He was in his Goth year, and was
the son Of the late Jas. II. Gaines, Of
Montgomery.

Tomorrow evening the talented

Chattanooga Sun has the following
to say:
Only Woman's Heart, played by
Miss Helen BY the and her excellent
company, attracted the largest mat
inee audience of the season yester-
day, and drew a good audi
ence last night. The talented
young actress produced a most
favorable impression on her first
appearance here in September, and ii
was almost an assured fact that she
would be cordially welcomed on her
return engagement. The drama tells
the story of the undying and incface-
able emotion-a mothers love for her
child a feeling aud sentiment which
never fails to appeal to the hearts of
true men and women everywhere. AS
the eflectionate, tender mother, whose
whole soul is wrapped up in her babe,
Miss Blythe is very strong and true to
life; and when she Ia placed in the
trying alternative of choosing between
giving up her child to strangers or
seeing it diein her arms, her maternal
anguish on deciding to part with it is
most WILDLY portrayed and touching.
ly acted, and drew tears to many eyes.
In fact, Miss Blythe rises to the de-
mands of tho various climaxes with
much histrionic excellencies and dra-
matte power. She seems to throw
her whole soul into her acting, which
is one Of the principal reasons for the
uniform success which attends her
acting IN the various roles she essays.

AMERICAN NOTES."
An Interesting Talk With Charles
Dickens, Jr,

In an easy, pleasant manner Charles
Dickens yesterday spoke of his Ameri
can experience, dilated somewhat upon
the vast distances he had travelled in
this great country, and waxed enthusi-
astic over the kindly treatment he has
invariably received everywhere. One
of the pleasantest events that has oc-
Cured to Mr.. Dickens in this country
was his visit to the president at Wash
ington. Nothing could surpass his
kindness and attention to our party"
said Mr.. Dickens. sit consisted of Bill
Nye, the humorist; Maj. Pond, Mrs. and
Miss Dickens and myself. The presi-
dent impressed me as man of great
determination and worthy representa-
tive of this great republic. We had a
very pleasant private chat, lasting about
twenty minutes, and before parting he
laughingly remarked 1 must now go to
my little exercise before luncheon
The doors flew open, and there the
waiting crowds were for reception.
We afterwards went around another
way, and saw the great American insti-
tuition of handshaking with the presi-
American institutions, thinking highly
of the cities and admiring the enter
prise of the West. Chicago, he thinks
by far the most imposing of all the cit
les of the United States. Altogether,
he was sure that this was q great city
and handsome place from the little he
was able to see Of it. Speaking of
Mathew Arnold's abuse of this
country he got little eX-
cited and related an incident
to the point. A Philadelphia paper said
that's Mathew Arnold was a 'scarecrow-
dressed, two-leggcd cockncy," and
further writing on the subject in refer
ence to the disparagement of American
journalism, it takes this fling at Eng
land, that outside Of London there was
no journalism over there worth talking
about. This Mr.. Dickens characterized
as farSehood, and he would be very glad
