THE boycott scheme against the
North in case Of the passage of the
force bill, proposed by Gov. Gordon
and the Atlanta Constitution, "died
a bornin'" as it were. Certainly the
spirit of Grady does not hover over
the sanctum of the Constitution these
days. All such silly schemes as this
boycott business will fall to the
ground of their own weight. Bust
ness is business and politics is poll
tics, and the business interests of this
great country will not submit to any
political complications which will
check or stagnate the ever increasing
tide. Business men are going to con-
tinue to conduct business matters up
on business principles, no matter how
many force bills are passed. The
South draws very largely on the
North for supplies, but we are also in
the market with immense quanti-
ties of iron, coal, cotton, timber,
fruits, and other products to sell, and
we look to the North for customers
The boycott would prove far more
hurtful to the South than the force
bill. Should the force bill pass il
would no doubt give us a great dea
of trouble, but there is brain ant
Drawn and courage enough in thu
South to surmount it, and we will bC

THE PRESIDENT has transmitted
to Congress a special message urging

lars, ETC., to and from lottery com

finds them ineffective. Congress
might extend the regulation of this
matter beyond the postOffice depart.
ment to the national banks, and for
bid them from transmitting money
to or from the lottery companies.
The Postmaster General suggests that
the carrying of letters by the expires,

companies be regulated so as to forbid
this class Of matter. The govern
ment has more authority and super

express companies, and much more
of the Louisiana Lottery Company's
business is done through the banks
than through all other channels. Let
Congress try little regulation on the
banks.

Wild and WoOlIy.

DYERsBURG, Sept. 4.-The sensation
in Dyersburg is the capture of real
wild negro woman in the bottom near
Eolkes Station, in this county yester-
day. She was first seen about an hour
before being captured by some. parties
passing along the road as she ran in the
brush. A party was formed and set out
to capture her.
When near the spot'w the woman
was seen, the cries of child were dis
tinctly heard. Following the sound the
parties came upon the mother fondling
a babe, which seemed to be about six
months old and starving. The woman
was easily captured, but could not speak
a word, and all efforts to find out who sine
is or where she came from have proved
futile.
The woman was sent here by Justice
Weakley to be lodged in Jail and the
child carried to the poorhouse. The
babe seemed to be famishing for want
of food and water. The only sound the
woman can make is like the whine of a
dog.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 5.-Hon. E. T.
Noyes, judge of the Superior Court of
Cincinnati, fell dead shortly after eleven
o'clock yesterday forenoon at the court
house. He had been on the bench and
heard an injunction case, but as he was
too unwell to proceed further, he left
the bench and was on his way to the
street. When at the corner of the
courthouse he suddenly fell backward
and died instantly. The cause is sup
posed to be apoplexy. Judge Noyes
was about fifty-seven years old.
General Edward +. Noyes was a native of
Massachusetts and a graduate of Dart
mouth College. When q young man he
located at Cincinnati, where he studied
law with Nathaniel Wright, and afterwards
formed partnership with r. H. Stephenson.
He entered the army in 1861 as Major of tn
Twenty ninth Ohio infantry, subsequently
attaining the colonelcy. Later he was COM
miss ioned Brigadier- General and placed
in command of u brigade, of which his old
regiment formed a part, in the division OF
General Dodge. When the three years ex-
pired General Noyes made an eloquent
speech to his troops who re- enlisted almost
to a man. Under his influence more me n /
re-enlisted than in any other command.
On July 4, 1864, he was wounded at Ruff's
Mills, Ga, from the result OF which he lost
a leg. He was unable to re-enter active
service, and at the request of Governor
Brough, Secretary Stanton assigned him to
the command, of Camp Dennison. At tho
closeof the war Ge11eral Noyes was elect
ed Judge of the Probate Court. and, in -1s1,
Governor of the State Of o hio. He was de-.
featcd- for re- election by William Allen,
on close vote, and returned to
the practice of . law. In 1887, he
was appointed Minister to France by Presi
dent Hayes. where he became friend OF

elevates the track short distance above

those run on ordinary roads, except that
the wheels are in the center and the
bottom of the car is so built that it
hangs or projects, below the rail. The
car sits astride the rail. The invention

A Novel swindIing scheme.

NASHVILLE, Sept. 5.-The suburban
residents of this city are being victim
lied by gang of fakirs, who at least
deserve praise for the orihgiality of
their plan. Their method is to go to a
house, and, after first ascertainiIig that
the gentleman of the establishment is
not present, ask the housewife for rec
ord of all deaths in the family for the
for the past fifteen years. Think
ing that the visitor is executing new,
phase of enumeration, she furnishes
him with the requested information
without objection.
The fraud carefully notes the birth
age and cause of death, thanks his ir1-
former and bows himself out. A few
days later the visitors strange solicita-
tion in regard to the death isyexplained.
The same ladies are again visited, but
not by the supposed censusstaker,
though evidently his partner in the ne
farious scheme.
The last named brings with him, ON
which is neatly printed in memorial
form, an accurate record of tho family
demises. This he presents to the good
housewife with his compliments and a
request for $1.50, which he claims as the
cost of the memorial. If the lady de-
murs he becomes angry and insists that
she is guilty of a breach of contraoS
made with his partner. The card is not
worth in actual value 10. cents, but Che
lady generally becomes the victim Of an
arrant scamp and gives him BIS price
rather than see the names of loved ones
scattered broadcast over the city BY
irreverent hands.
In one instance a lady objected to tak-
ing the card, stating she did not have
the money, whereupoD the inpudent
scamp insisted that she go to neighbor
or her groceryman and borrow the
amount, and because she'declined the
suggestions left the house in fury,
threatening to take legal action.
