GALLATIN. Tenn. Oct. 17.-This aft
ernoon at 5 O'Clock Samuel E. Elliott
was in the store of W. Witherspoon, on
the Square, when Mrs. Archie W..
Overton entered, and, walking
up to Elliott, without word.
dashed the contents of large
bottle of vitriol or suIphuric acid into
his face. 1t struck him squarely be-
tween the eyes, and spread all over his
face. In ten minutes his left eye was
entirely destroyed, and i t is thought his
other eye will be lost. His face was
horribly burned. He did not fall and
only spoke to ask for some oil. Doctor
were summoned, and he was removed
to the residence OF his sister. Mrs. May
Knight, where lie now lies i'll great
agony.
Mrs. Overton at once left the store.
The OvertOns are well-known throug-
out the state. Elliott was eighteen
months ago charged with the ruin of
Miss Minnie OVerton, decidedly hand
some and we'll educated brunette about
! twenty-five years of age. She was very
popular in society, and her downfall
was source of sorrow to many warm
friends. Sheriff Terry has just left for
/ the handsome Oyerton place with a
warrant for MrE. Overton's arrest sworn
out by Ben Elliott, brother of the in
| jured man.
Elliott, while admitting his relations
with Miss Overton, denied that he had
seduced her. and claimed that other
men had been intimate with her. He
refused to marry her and would not
leave the country when threatened with
| death by her father and two brothers,
| aud for months every one feared per-
| sonal encounter, but nothing came of il
/ and the matter quieted down. In the
meanwhile Miss Overt0n left here and
| is now thought to be living in Lexing-
/ ton.

HfndSicht in Excess,

1.-The most remarkable case of hind sight ever came across" said the old railroad superintendent, occurred on my division several years ago. A young man named Brown was operator at 8 way station about ten miles this side of Alliance. He was good boy all over, and had my eye on him for promotion. But one winters night, after ordering 8 freight train to come west, he let No. 10 passenger express go east. How he made the blunder he never could explain.
 ''On single track road nothing under heaven could prevent wreck. and Brown realized that before the rear lights of the passenger train were out of sight. Most men would have lost their heads at the thought, but Brown didn't. He remained at his instrument and tele- graphed me as follows, Send wrechng train at once; trains 10 and 37 in colli- sion.'
 II went out with the wrecking train at once, picked up Brown on the way. and found bad smashup, sure enough though the engineers of both trains had sighted each other in time to avert a frightful catastrophe. Of course had to discharge Brown, but if his foresight had been equal to his hindsight what a splendid railroader he would have made. ' Chicago Special Press Bureau.

pr. T8lmage's Last Cigar,

My last cigar was smoked at o'clock one Sabbath morning in my western home. 1 had smoked three or four ci- gars since tea. 1 wrote my sermons then, and thought could gather fresh inspiration with every fresh cigar.
 My hand trembled as finished my work, and when book fell I started as if a pistol had been fired. The creaking of my boots, so great was the nervous strain upon me as l went down the stairs. made my hair stand on end. could not sleep that night, and resolved that would give up smoking and end the sin of night study.
 1 kept my promise, and then overheard went tea and coffee. Perhaps some may be better for smoking, but l think there would be many sick headaches less with. out it.
 My first cigar made me desperately sick; after I smoked my last cigar l be- came gloriously well, the world became more attractive, and new life opened out before me.-T. De Witt Talmage in New York Journal

The Spanish wit and philosopher, Quevedo, who in his time gained rep utation for knowing almost everything, was asked if he knew of a means whereby person could avoid growing old.
 "Most certainly" said Quevedo, II know of certain rules which will surely prevent your growing old"
 What are they2' .
 Keep always in the sun in summer, and always in the wet in winter. That is one rule. Never give yourself rest i; that is another. Fret at everything that happens; that is still another. And then if you take care always to eat your meat cold, and to drink plenty of cold water when you are hot, you may be perfectly sure that you will never grow old i"-Yeuth's Companion.

His Voice His Fortune.

At recent Thigh jinks" of the Ten derloin club a number of professionals in the theatrical and musical line were present and helped to enliven the occar sion by their songs, recitations and funny stories.
 Among these were comedian Ed Stevens, of the Casino company, and Signor Tagliapietra, of operatic fame MT. Stevens regaled the assemblage with series of amusing anecdotes, and the signor, in response to repeated calls, sang '"The Palms" and other musical selections in bis own inimitable style.
 Among the guests was an elderly gen. tleman from Schoharie county, this state, whose knowledge of the stage and it's representatives, however, is somewhat limited. At the conclusion of the signor's last song he turned to his friend and innocently remarked:
 'That fellow there sings pretty well, doesn't he2 Why, I should think he could make his living by singing songs That's what I'd do, at any rate, if had his voice. As for that other chap there," he went on, referring to MT. Stevens, 'he'd ought to study for the stage. There's the making of a fine comedian in him."
 The countryman was very much dis concerted at the laugh which followed He was treasured, however, when Signor Tagliapietra came up to him and said, II am indeed obliged, sir; that was the finest compliment have ever received in my life. ."-New York Herald.

Nothing is so tedious as an archery competition. They shot, and they shot, and they kept on shooting till the sun left the valley and little breezes got up in the deodars, and people waited for Miss Beishton to shoot and win. Cub bon was at one horn of the semicircle round the shooters, and Barr-Saggott at the other Miss Beighton was last on the list The scoring had been weak, and thr bracelet, plus Commissioner BarrSaggott, was hers to certainty.
 The commissioner strung her bow with his own sacred hands. She stepped for ward. looked at the bracelet, and her first arrow went true to a hair-full into the heart of the "gold"-counting nine points.
 Young Cubbon on the left turned white. a,ll his Devil prompted Barr Saggott to smile. Now. horses used to shy when Barr-Saggott smiled. Kitty saw that s,nile. She looked to her left front. gisre an almost imperceptible nod to Cubbon. and went on shooting. I wish 1 could describe the scene that followed. It was out of the ordinary and most improper. Miss Kitty fitted
 
 so that every one might see what she was doing. She was q perfect shot. and her forty-six pound bow suited her to 8 nicety. She pinned the wooden legs of the target with great care four success sive times. She pinned the wooden top of the target once, and all the ladies looked at each other. Then she began some fancy shooting at the white, which if you hit it counts exactly one point. She put five arrows into the white.
 It was wonderful archery: but, seeing that her business was to make "golds'' and win the bracelet, Barr-Saggott turned delicate green like young water grass. Next she shot over the target twice, then wide to the left twice-always with the same deliberation-while chilly hush fell over the company, and Mrs. Beighton took out her handkerchief. Then Kitty shot at the ground in front of the target and split several arrows. Then she made red-or even points-just to show what she could do if she liked, and she finished up her amazing performance with some more fancy shooting at the target supports. Here is Miss Beigh- tons score as it was pricked off:
 Total Total Gold Red Blue. Black White. Hits. Score o 0 21
 Barr-Saggott looked as if the last few arrow heads had been driven into his legs instead of the targets, and the deep stiffness was broken by little snubby, mottled, half grown girl saying in shrill voice of triumph, "Then I've wonp'
 Mrs. Beighton did her best to bear up; but she wept in the presence of the people. No training could help her through such disappointment. Kitty unstrung her bow with vicious jerk, and went back to her place, while Barr Saggott was trying to pretend that he enjoyed snapping the barcelet on the snubby girls raw, red wrist. It was an awkward scene-most awkward. Every one tried to depart in body and leave Kitty to the mercy of her mamma.
 But Cubbon took her away instead, and-the rest is not worth printing Rudyard Kipling

Fred's mamma had trained him by example and precept" to be courteous, and he seldom forgot the lesson, even under very trying circumstances
 One afternoon a maiden aunt, who was something of a trial to Fred, came to the house while his mamma was away and insisted on his rehearsing all the new verses and songs he had learned at kindergarten since her last visit.
 He went through his repertoire pa tently until he was quite tired, and still his aunt demanded another and another.
 At last Fred said politely, but with considerable firmness, 'I'l do just this one more, Aunt Lucretia, and then looking anxiously at the clock-''I am afraid you'll have 10 go. if you don't want to lose your trainl"-Youth's Companion.
