gentleman from Statesville, here few
days since, tells good joke on two smart
revenue officers Of that town, which is a
true story. 1t is about as follows:
A short time since, Mr.. A. 1--WE will call
him), highly respected citizen, residing
near Statesville, discharged a worthless
servant. This servant became very an
cry, and to get revenge went to town
and reported to the revenue officers that
Mr.. A. had aten-gallon cask of unstamp-
ed whisky in his house. Upon this in
formation deputy collector and deputy
marshal made raid on Mr.. AS house,
and, sure enough, found the ten gallons
of spirits indicated. Mrs. A., being at
home alone, made no protest, and they
summoned her to appear before a United
States commissioner the next dav. They
carried the whisky off to town in high
spirits. On the road they met Mr. A.,
and also summoned him to appear at
the trial.
The hour of trial arrived; the officers
could not disguise their pleasure at the
prospect of conviction. The case was
called and the raiders testified that they
found the cask, containing about ten
gallons of overproof spirits, in Mr.. A. s
closet; that thev knew it was spirits be-
cause they drank some of it.
Mr.. A. then testified that he knew but
little about it, but his wife could proba-
bly, explain it.
Mrs. A. then testified that she had a
puny child. which the physicians had ad-
vised her to bathe daily in rum. That a
few weeks before she had called at one OF
the drug stores in town to purchase ten
gallons of rum, and upon being told that
they could not sell more than 41a gal
Ions at time, she got that quantity and
also got 4h gallons from another drug
store. That since buying it she had
given the baby bath every day, each
time pouring what was used Tor the
bath back into he cask to prevent waste
and loss of strength.
At this juncture the commissioner
threw away his papers and declared
that he would have nothing more to do
with such case.
The now thoroughly crestfallen mar
shall and collector. who had filled up on
the puny child's rum BATH" went to
the drug store and took strong emetic,
and then hired a crossed-cyed, wooden,
legged negro to kick 'em into the next
county. After night they bribed boy
to smuggle the rum back to Mr.. As.
These officers have not been seen since
the day of trial, aud it is asserted by the
knowing ones that they have "crawled
into hole and pulled the hole in after

tragedy was enacted at Tryon last night

near the South Carolina line, and is situ-

1t appears that large number of col.

in festival. While the festivities were
at their height, two of the number be-
came engaged in a bIoi. Friends OF
both men took sides, and finally they in
dulged in a pitched battle.
Pistols, knives and sticks were used
freely, and the fight was a long and
bloody one. When matters quoted
down, an examination showed that three
or four colored men were dead, and sev.
eral more badly wounded.
No fuller particulars of the affair can
be obtained today.

Rio TANERIo, Dec. Heterogeneous
so radical have arisen between the gov
ernment and Senior Portella, governor
of the state OF Rio Janeiro, that the gov.
ernment has requested Governor Portella
to resign his position. This request the
governor has declined to accede to.
1t Is expected the government will ap-
point military governor of the state
and that marllal law will be proclaimed.
There is much uneaslness in financial
circles here growing out OF "a panic which
prvailed on the bourse yesterday. 1t is
feared that, in the event Of repetition
OF the pane today, much trouble would
be caused Tor the banks, and consequntly
guards have been detailed to protect
those institutions.
The government has announced that
credits for repayment OF the popular

IN. MEMORY OF LOWELL,

london. Aug. 15.-Canon Farrar had an
,orrcad that services in memory of James Rus
ell Lowell would be held in Westminster AD-
hav tomorrow, but the plan was Abruptly
obonoed and the services were held to-uay'
MANY of the Americans in the city who were
dosirous of attending the services had no KNOW
ladge of the changed arrangements, ana conSo'
o%uentlv they were not present. Speclsl SeaVS
had been arranged in the choir, and these were
~oaarved for Americans. Among those VINO
o+tanded the services was United States MINIS
+ar Lincoln. The ceremony was very impress
s;ve After the reading of the fifteenth chaP-
ter Of Corinthians a hymn was sung. canon
Farrar then delivered the Grafton. DE SAID:
ut is only fitting that we should gather to
now a tribute Of respect and gratitude to the
great and famous poet who has been called to
F.. rest MI. Lowell was one of the greatest
Of the American poets Of the generation. But
ba was more than a poet. He had many
claims ON the memory Of Americans and En-
l;shmen. He was q scholar and q student OF
fbe frat rank. he was also q critic, but MS
satire was akin to charity. Though his shafts
atruck nome they were never poisoned. lie
was a finished orator. His rich e%loquence was
unsurpassed in either country. lie had made
his second home in England, where, as well as
in America, he was truly loved. he was one
Of the sacred unions that bound England to
America more closely. The same blood ran in
each of our veins; both spoke the tongue Of
Shakespeare, and both held faith in the morals
Of Milton. Mr.. Lowell was one of those true
Americans to whom the slaves owed their
freedom and twenty millions of his fellow-oiti-
zens their awakened consciousness. English
universities bestowed upon him their proudest
honors. He has now passed away, loved and
revered by the two mightiest nations OF the
world" The services closed with the singing
Of the anthem" Blessed are the dead, who with
lives speaking."-N. Y. Times.
