o, how withered and dead
The e'of the bare earth lies,
Under the leafless trees
And tie frown Of the droop,np skies!
o. how silent and sad
She sleeps in her gloomy rest,
With never the song Of bird
And never flower on her breast,
And yet from the gloom and the silence
The far-of spring shall arise.
Nay! in the hidden life
OF the pretty things sleeping below,
Waiting the moment of waking,
Ready to bourgen and grow,
Who shall say but the touch
OF this cool, dark quiet to-day,
Is full of as saving grace
AS the strong, warm kisses of May:
And which is the dearest and kindest,
No soul upon earth may know!

Gently gathered a bunch of wild tobacco,
below the Consolidated California & Vir-
ginia office in lot over which stood a
frame building that had been burned down.
The leaves were well developed and the
seeds were thick on the plants. He gath
cred the bunch to send to a friend in the
East.
If this native tobacco were cultivated,
and the sprouts that go to seed properly
trimmed, it would doubtless produce a
fair-sized leaf for smoking purposes. In
the Como mining district great deal OF
wild tobacco is found, which grows TO a
hight of fourteen to sixteen inches. The
Indians treat and use it. The foregoing
facts give rise to the question, Would not
the finer species of tobacco, such as is
grown in Georgia, Canada. or even Cuba,
grow and flourish in Nevada?

Accident in Dublin Gu,ch.

As Willis Mcbride and friend
were going up Dublin Gulch in a
buggy yesterday, at place in the
road near the Anaconda, the horse
suddenly began to kick without any apuar-
ent provocation. This part of the road is
dangerous, for if the buggy had overturned
the occupants would have b Id an ugly fall
down the bank. The horse kicked over the
dashboard, his feet catching on it, and the
occupants concluded to get out OF the way,
as he at once began struggling. Mr.. Mcbride
jumped. out in front, and in bis haste fell
on his back on boulder, which hurt him
so Sc erely that he was unable to RISE His
was more lucky and got out
safely, and with the assistance OF Others in
the vicinity, the horse was released from
his predicament. Mr.. Mcbride was removed
to his home in an express wagon, as the
buggy was too much injured to use until

Three Sisters Die Suddenly. and strang
History is Recalled.
Atlanta, Ca, special dispatch to th,
Globe Democrat; Two of the Dunning girl
are dead, aud rumor says that the third
one, living in Ohio, died August 10.
The three Dunning giris-Margaret
Susan and Matilda--were the daughters o.
farmer, Hugh Dunning, who lived three
miles out OF the city. The father was
close and parsimonious, amassing money
by sheer self-denial, and dying in tragic
manner several years ago, worth probably
$75, 900. The murder, if such it was, has
always been attributed to negro named
Pencock, who eIoped soon after with the
Oldest daughter, Margaret. Later still
Susan fell astray with a negro named
Green jackson, with whom she eloped,
marrying him before a Chattanooga mag
istrate.
The mother then removed to the city with
Matilda, the only one of the girls who had
not gone astray; and settled all her prop
ertY on her. Matilda died on the 10th,
with every appearance of fon. play, and
Susan died later. A telegram from Ohio
announcing tho death of Margaret in an
equally sudden manner has aroused the
officers, and aninquest is in progress before
the coroner.
When Mrs. Dunning removed to the city
she was at once surrounded by the relatives
OF the negroes who had ruined her daughter
She was kept continually drunk by them
and thus was induced to make large drafts
upon her bank account, spending her money
in fives and tens for the most trivial SER
vices performed by the negroes. The sud-
den death OF Matilda followed by the news
concerning Margaret and Susan. suggested
the theory that all might have been poi
soned by the negroes. so that they might
come into possession of the fortune. When
the officers want to the fouse they found
the two dead women there and the negroes
in full possession.

from New Iberia says that certain class
OF idle and immoral characters are being
ordered away. and many OF them have
taken refuge at Freetown, a village com.
posed entirely OF negro families. Here five
to six hundred mounted men congregated
and armed themselves.

body OF armed negroes, as reported, de.
manded the surrender OF their arms. A
number accepted these terms.
Thursday morning fifteen negroes took
possession OF the coIored minister's house,
refusing to surrender. The whites, hearing
of this, sent message with the command
that they lay down their weapons within
twenty minutes. The negroes again re.
fused. At the expiration OF the time vol.
lev was fred at them, which soon resulted
in a general fusilade, W hich lasted nearly al
hour.
Finally F. p. Smith, a white man, was
shot dead. The negroes then became panic
stricken and fed.

five others were found outside. 1t is ru
