RorLANGER,s TLIGHT.

To avoid prosecution as q seditiOus
person Boulanger has left France. His
present place .: abode IL not definitely
known, although the suppOsition is that
he has found temporary refuge in Bel
gum, which is near enough to France TO
furnish him a convenient base OF opera
tiOns. The danger from Boulangism Is
quite as much in the nature Of the
French people "a In any quality OF lead
ership or statesmanship that the general
may possess. The career OF Gen. Boul-
anger denotes a vain rather than a sa-
gacious man or one who would be likely
to lead a successful revolution. He has
gained favor with the people by an i'll
timed advocacy Of policy Of revenge To-
wards the Germans, and many OF his
public utterances have given color 10 the
supposition that he has In mind an at
tempt so seize the reins Of government
during some OF the ministerial crises that
are constantly recurring in France. Sew
eral times refused seat In the chamber
Of deputies to which he had been elect
cd, he has been as often returned 10 op-
crate as thorn In the flesh OF the gov
ernment. The incident OF his duel with
Premier Floquet. which would have been
the ruin OF almost any public man in
the estimation OF the French people, was
but temporary embarrassment TO Boul-
anger. The discredit that would natur-
ally attach to an experienced swordsman
who was wOrsted In q combat with a
man who had never taken the first les
son In the use Of the foils was quickly
overcome by the man who is to ayenge
Sedan. But the time is yet far distant
when France can with safety try issues
with Germany, and the republic is wise
In discountenancing the Boulangist agi-
tation. The party which is behind Boul-
anger in the chamber OF deputies is
neither large nor distinguished for abil-
ity, and 1t is probable that the flight OF
the leader will have the effect 10 discOur-
age the revenge" movement.

DEATH OF WILLIAM Transfer, ESQ -
This venerable old gentleman passed away
peacefully last Sunday morning, the 18th
inst, at his home on Muddy Creek, in the
S9th year of his age. He was one of the
few remaining links that connected the pres
ent with the past. He had vast fund of
"reminiscences Of half century or more ago,
aud was very entertaining in his recital of
them. He was spry and active and able to
ride horseback until year or two since
when he began to succumb to the infirmi-
ties of age. He leaves four sons, John,
George, William and Frank, all of whom
live in this county, and three daughters,
MARY, wife DR.. John d. Anderson, Re-
becca. wife Charles MoClung, both of whom
live in Southwest Virginia, and Matte, wife

DEATH FROM A CATS BITE.-A special
to the New York World from Monroe, Ca,
February $, says: The news of the terrible
death of Henry Womac, Young farmer,
who lived SIX miles below Monroe, from a
cats bite, is now followed by the statement
that bis wife is dying from the same cause.
Saturday, week ago, Mr.. Womac was
sitting by the fire with one hand hanging
down, when suddenly one Of the house
cats sprung upon his hand and fastened
her teeth IN one of his fingers. He slung
her loose, and seizing a shovel, killed her
instantly. The wound in his finger soon
healed.
Last Saturday morning, just one week
later, the other cat suddenly showed signs
of f1uht, and with bristles raised ran under
the bed in which Mrs. Womac was lying.
When she got up and her feet struck the
floor, the cat bit her on one heel. Her
husband, hearing her screams, rushed in,
choked the cat off and killed it. About
noon his finger began to swell and pain him
and at night he was attacked with spasms,
which coDtioued until he became so Wild
that b friends were compelled TO fasten
him up In room by himself, where be
died most terrible death from what is
pronounced hydrophobia. Mrs. Womsc's
foot is swollen to three or four times its
natural size and she is not expected to live
until morning.

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend.
meuts, freeing and giving the negro vote,
are the parts of the Constitution with
which we have to deal az present. The
| negro as voter is not allowed TO exercise
he right of p freeman. The Republicans
| will not permit him to vote without inter-
ference They poison b s mind against the
native whites. They idomineer HIM, make
him quake by appeals to his superstition,
and then use his vote, not for his benefi-,
but to Strengthen the Republican party
with misnomered strength, misleading
the country at large. Thus we see that by
per, ession of the negro franchise it is
simply not allowed the privileges that
should appertaiu to the riehts of fleemen,
for WHICH the Republican party ia to blame.
The negro. therefore has no vote because
the Republican party ooerces him.-Rieh-
