AND WIN. MCMANSES. A CoLoRED
MAN, KILLED.
j Our quie, little town was very
much excited Tuesday morning over
the news OF the shooting of a rev.
enue officer and the killing OF a col
ored man id Little River township.
On the through freight train from
the west that morning Revenue
Agent kirkpatrick and Patterson
arrived at HiIlsboro where they met
Messrs. Dodson, Gates AID Dickson,
and went out in tie country about !
miles northeast OF town Oh the look
out for illici, stills. They found two
places where stills had been run aud
at the last place they met a colored
man named Henry McMannen. He
was asked come questions and con-
serted TO show the officers the way
to the place they wanted to 90. lie
led them a short distance when they
came in sight OF a new log hut,
when he told the officers lha. he
lived there and wanted to 90 liz the
house before he went on with them.
Soon after be got in the house be
ran to the door with a shot gun and
fred on kirkpatrick who was in the
act OF getting down off of his horse,
McMannen then covered another Que
of the officers with his gun, VIXEN
McMannen was fired upon and fell
dead. The officers then gave their
attention to kirkpatrick who had
been shot in the face. He was put
on his horse aud held there by two
men, one on either side, riding horse
back, until they reached the Doug
lass place where bis wounds were
dressed bv DR.. Douglass. He was
then placed in a wagon, with his
head resting on the lap Of Patterson,
and brought to town about II a. IN,
and carried to a room at the Deco
neechee hotel. Drs. Cameron aud
Paris were called in and admins
tered to the relic; Of the wounded
man. Kirkpatrick was shot in the
tace with bird shot, and seriously
wounded. 1t is thought his left eye
is entirely destroyed, and his right
eye considerably damaged, If not
destroyed. His face and nose were
filled with shot and a tooth shot off.
kirkpatrick IS a native of Ohio. He
has been in the evenu business
about - years. A special train ar
rived here about 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon from Greensboro bringing
Mrs. kirkpatrick and Revenue
Agent Brooks. By consent of the
attending physicians kirkpatrick
was carried to the depot on a cot
and put on the special train which
lett Immediately on its return to
Greensboro.
The above facts were gathered
from, the revenue officers.
Sheriff Hughes notified Coroner
Jordan OF the killing of McMannen
On Wednesday We heard ali kinds
of reports. Some said McMannen
had been killed without any provo
cation-that he had been murdered
10 cold blocd-shot down in biz
own house-that he could prove al
good a character IS most any u,an il
his neigbborhood.
Rev. Sam. P. Terry, a Primitive
Baptist preacher, made affidavit be
fore A. L Holden, Esq, charging
the revenue officers with murder
and warrants were issued.
We suppose the killing Of Nc
Manner will be investigated, and W.
think the public ought to withhold
their verdict until all the facts in th'
case are known.

Renan in His Old AGE.

Ernest Renan, the religious historian
and critic, has charming quarters at the
College de France, of which he is rector.
His rooms are lit throughout with cleo
trio light, conveyed from the college lab
oratory, and they are furnished with both
taste and luxury. Renan is getting to be
as stout as the typical medieval abbot, and
for the same reason-love of good cheer
Nine. Renan, a daughter, by the way, of
AIRY Scheffer, the painter, is remarkably
good cook, and her pride is to tickle Re-
mans palate every day with some cunning
ly devised dish. Renan has heavy, SEN
sual face, with not little of the Jew in it,
although he has not trace of Judaism in
his blood.
Eight centuries OF Breton life lie behind
him. and he can today make out an honest,
irreproachable pedigree which few aristo-
Gratis could equal. The great man is as
dogmatic as ever Macaulay was He can
not bear to be interrupted when talking
and it goes hard with him to patiently en-
dure contradiction. When he receives
guests at his weekly gatherings he holds
forth to them 10y the half hour. He is fond
of standing before the CRATE, and from that
position he lays down the law upon any
thing and everything. For ability to speak
learnedly and eloquently upon any subject
he may be compared to Mr.. Gladstone
Scottish Leader.

Effect of Education on Women.

.Given a robust and healthy woman of II
or IS years of age, there can be no harm in
continuing her education till she is one or
two-and-twenty. At the same time the
objects and methods of her education
might we'll be different from those of men,
Female Bentleys and Persons, Newtons
and Herschels will certainly not be numer-
Gus, and if signs of such commanding
genius display themselves by all means let
the genius be cultivated to the utmost.
But every girl might be SO taught that
her mind, instead of being devoted to
frivolous objects, should be educated in the
true sense of the term and made to recog-
nize the Importance of early training and
the value of application to useful objects
in order that she may begin betimes to
teach without strain or effort her offspring
The arts at least are freely open to her.
The point when harm is produced is when
weak ordull girls are made to work beyond
their strength, and whether weak or strong
it must always be remembered that suita-
BILE recreation is demanded Finally, it
must not be forgotten that sound, common
sense is better in the affairs of life than
much knowledge, and that women are not
fitted for public appointments York
Ledger.

The Womanly Woman.

The masculine woman is strong only
with other women and with womanish
men. The womanly woman conquers
every one. With men her power is in the
inverse ratio of her approach to anything
resembling themselves the woman, not
the man, in her attracts; and, singularly
enough, her power is greater with most
women also from this frightening of her
feminine side. This, however, is very in
significant matter beside the circumstance
that a woman is fulfilling her destiny and
living the life appointed her, and develop
ing herself ON the lines of nature by keep
ing in view the greater use she can be and
the greater joy and comfort she can give
through the exercise of those traits which
seem to have been set apart for her char
acterization.
And if it is the intention of nature that
the qualities of the sexes shall so differen-
tiate it is not the part of wisdom for her
to contravene such intention and make of
herself that conglomerate and hybrid
thing masculine woman. The old story
of the vine and the oak does not come into
this question. In the womanly woman
the growth is as strong and integral and
self supporting as it is in the manly man.
She is as distinct an entity and she is
more in unison with eternal purposes and
the creative power the more utterly and
thoroughly she is womanly.-Harper's
Tlazar

Shopping Not So Extravaganza.

Said clever woman, talking about mems
ideas concerning women and their shop
ping: why will you men persist in mis-
representing us? Now, don't you know
that woman by her frequent visits to
stores and shops, and her constant watch
fulness over gowns, fashions and prices,
keeps herself so familiar with them that
she is prepared at a moments notice to
start out to buy car loads of anything that
comes under the head of shopping? She
knows just where to go, knows the cost of
everything, in fact can quote you figures
in her line as accurately and as generously
as your stock broker with his shorts and
longs his 'grangers,' his trunk lines and
his specials (You see know some of the
terms. will not tell you whether know
what sthey mean.) And when you men
want anything done in the way of this
much desired shopping don't you run to a
woman to do it for you? Isn't it true that
way down in your hearts you know that
she can buy more for less money in half a
day than a man can in two weeks?" The
man did not know whether this was all
true or not, but he unblushingly declared
that it was.-New York Tribune

A Pretty Lamp Shade.

A very pretty lamp shade may be made
of satin or taffeta ribbon, with white cot
ton lace or embroidered net. This lace is
found in cream or white only, but at
trifing expense may be dyed scarlet, yell
low, pale green or any artistic color de-
sirable. After dying it match it in the
ribbon, as dyers are not always certain Of
exactly the shade they may hit in their
work. Make the lamp shade three times
the circumference of the frame on which
it is to rest; put alternately rows of lace
and of ribbon. When it is of sufficient
width shirr it with four or five rows Of
gathering into shape at the top, leaving a
little standing ruff1e about an inch wide of
double satin ribbon. The shirring should
all be in the satin on the ribbon. The new
brass frames for these silk shades are so
ventilated at the top that the heat of a Ro-
chester does not scorch them or turn the
color of the most delicate silk.-Exchange.

In any manner to earn her own living she
would be ostracized socially. There are
many heiresses there, and there are many
Mexican adventures who make their liv-

A Child's Ailments.

There are parents and guardians who
require of children a precise answer to
every question put to them, forgetting
that exactness of detail is not an attribute
of child's character, and that even sensa-
tons which are painful are often so vague
that it is impossible to locate them.
l recall the case Of little girl, scarcely
4 years of age, who every day became
fretful and peeyish over very simple tasks,
but which, nevertheless, were rather too
much for her what is the matter with
you, Rosa?" l said to her one day when she
was particularly cross.

"Where does it feel bad?"

her forehead.
"No, it is not there"
well, is it here, or here, or here" I
asked, touching other parts of her head.

''Well, then, it is not in your head at all,

Eyes, I feel bad in my head" Then she
repeated over and over again, 81 feel bad,

into quite a fit of Mysteries, and was sent

with her, and who simply did not want to
learn her iessons.-You 5 Companion

The men and women of our farming COM
munities do not live as well as they might
With the bountiful supply of vegetables,
fruits and grains that grow about them it
is strange that they are willing to go on
from day to day, year in and year out, sum-
mer and winter, eating the same dishes,
the bacon and corn bread, with the inevi-
table potato thrown in, and the never fail
ing pie by way of finish. Somehow there
is an idea among us that to care for ones
diet, to bestow time and thought in its Sc
lection and preparation, is beneath the mind
pf sensible person. This notion is a rom
liant of the old Puritan belief that our
bodies are vessels of wrath" and ought to
be kept under strict control and crucitied
or tortured in every possible manner
But surely the farmer who tills the soil
and raises the food for all the people ought
to enjoy the good things that his labor pro-
duces. Instead Of which he raises beef
and fowls for city folks, while he is salts
fed with bacon: sends eggs to market and
never enjoys an omelet, plants vegetables
and sends the best and earliest away, while
he keeps for himself and his children only

"rhe Perfection of Table Manners. ;

freely of all of them. There was no non

The Chi1dren's Feet.

1t is the part of the wise mother to care
fully watch the feet of the little ones dur
ing their tender years. Keep the head
cool and the feet warm" is a faithful ad.
monition, especially adapted to the chill
dren. With many wooden stockings
should be avoided altogether, especially
when they cause itching or sweating of the
feet. Precipitation will be absorbed by the
wool, making of the stocking cold, clam
my mass, more to be dreaded than the
most tempting mud puddle" Equip
such children with firm, substantial cot
ton hose, providing wooden anklets or leg
gings, if thought best, and their feet will
be warm and dry, except for outward wet
ting.-Cor. Good Housekeeping.
