A GREAT HOUSE WARMING.
Memphis Will Celebrate her Bridge
Opening i'm Grand STYLE,


Memphis has put her best foot for
ward for great house warming ON the
18th of May, to which she invites ev-
erybody far and near. The occasion
will be the formal opening of the new
$4,000, 600 railroad and passenger bridge
to public traffic. The bridge is not only
triumph of engineering skill, but
will prove wonderfully economical,
quick and safe method of transporta-
ton from the Western and Southwest
ern markets, across the Mississippi Riv-
er to the Eastern markets and seaboard
and vice versa, from Eastern seaboard
and markets to the consumers in the
West and Southwest
A remarkable fact is that this bridge
is pitched at the exact point where, in
May, 1541, Hernando de Soto, with his
band of fearless followers pushing
westward, first sighted the Father of
Waters, and set up sort of military
post. The excavations for the inn
mense ahutment on the eastern bank
atChisca Mound, have disclosed a mum,
Der of rude, warlike implements used
by these Spaniards. Memphis has been
trying for thirty years to secure the
building of this bridge, but what with
the opposition of river transportation

LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Foster Elected Governor by 100000
Fraud Charged.


NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-The cleo
ton held in this State last Tuesday re-
suited in the election of Foster as Gov.
ernor, by at least 10000 majority. A
large negro vote was given to Foster in
many of the parishes. Foster was one
of the Democratic candidates.
Fitzpatrick's majority for mayor of
New Orleans was about 5000, On the
McEnery State and city ticket there
were eighty names of candidates I; on
the Foster ticket as many more. Be-
sides these were three other tickets in
the field.
The returns from Concordia Parish
were very slow coming in, and those
from three precincts will probably new
er turn up, as one of the boxes was
violently seized and destroyed, and two
others mysteriously disappeared. There
isno telling how the vote stood in these
precincts, but it is thought that they
were largely for Leonard, Republican,
though the Fosterites claim that their
man had large majorities at each.
Leonard, for Governor, carried East
Baton Rouge Parish by 213 majority,
and the McEnery parish ticket was
elected, except one member of the Leg
islature. In the Sixth IA country ward
when the voting was over, the Foster
ties there sent in proposition to the
McEnery leaders proposing to divide
and count the negro vote in that ward
equally between McEnery and Foster.
This was refused. When the count was
finished the Foster commissioners and
the clerk refused to sign the tally sheets
and abandoned the polls The Breaux
commissioner and two deputy Sheriffs
thereupon took up the box and papers
and brought them to town, delivering
them to the Clerk of the Court Wal
ter Roberts, one of the Foster commits
sioners at this poll, was arrested and is
in 'ail. He, with the other commits.
sioners, will be required to show cause
why they did not proceed with the
count, as required by law.

LITERARY NOTES.
tlOn.


A new volume of the Century will be-
gin in May with number of unusal
interest. Three important serial fea-
lures will be commenced in this num-
ber, namely-Senor Castelar, Life of
Columbus" 1.-THE Chosen Valley" a
novel of western life by Mary Hallock
Foote, and the series of articles describ-
ing the architectural features of the
World Fair, which we'll known ar.
chitect is to contribute.
The May Century, in addition to the
serials now running, will contain COM
plete stories by Thomas Nelson Page
and Wolcott Balesti r, and a humor-
GUS skit by Harry Stillwell Edwards,
author of 1.-TWO Runaways.
The World Grows.-Noah Webster
would not know his old dictionary in
the perfection it has attained in the
hands of modern scholars. The world
grows, however, and dictionaries with
it, SO that cheap reprint of the "A
years old original" Webster is worth
about rs much as an old almanac
Webster's International Dictionary, the
recent successor of the latest and still
copyrighted Unabridged" is the best
work Of its kind ever published, and,
well used in a family, will be of more
value to the members thereof than many
times its cost laid up in money.
THE GREAT DIVIDE.
The Great Divide has received COM
mendations from all parts of the coun-
try for the interesting character of its
contents during the year 1891. Of
course, it is gratifying to know that
our efforts are appreciated, and this
fact incites us to greater efforts in be-
half of the Great Divide family. Dur
ing 1892, a number of special features
of great interest will be introduced.
Among them may be mentioned:
A series of articles ON "Wild Dances
of Wild People"
A series of articles on 1.-THE Romance
of Rich Mines"
A series of articles on Curious and
Useful Plants of the West"
A series of articles on Mature S
Weird Forms in Rock"
These articles will be by writer's who
are thoroughly familiar with the sub
jects discussed, and will be richly illus
trated. Each article will be complete
in itself.
To give an idea of what these series
will contain we quote the following tt
ties Of articles now in the hands of our
artists for illustration: "a Skeleton
Dance, ""The Fire Dance, ""A Cowboy
Dance, ""Dance of the Sun God, - etc.
In the Romance of Great Mines will

Adventure in the mountains and on
the plains will receive attention. Gen
eral James S. Brisbin, of the United
States Army, furnishes one of this Sc
ries, entitled "The Closest Call l Evel
| Had"
In fiction the Great Divide will be es-
pecially rich, the stories being filled
with adventure and abounding in local
color.
Popular science will not be neglected,
and, in a word, the Great Divide fol
1892 will excel in excellence any of its
previous efforts. Send ten cents fol

SHOT AN OLD MAN.
White Caps Commit an Outrage Near

DANDRIDGE, Tenn, April 25.-This
city and vicinity is indignant over
white cap outrage perpetrated on an
aged man by the name of Russell Jen.
kins last night. jenkins is over sew
enty years and was formerly preach
er, but was deposed on account of loose
moral character. After being deposed
he left his wife, and for several years
has been living with a widow woman
two miles west of town. This caused a
great deal of comment. Some weeks
ago Jenkins received a notice to leave
the country, signed by white caps with
the usual skull and cross bones attach
ed. This had no effect, beyo ond making
Jenkins arm himself to give the white
caps a warm reception should they
come. They did come, and they re
ceived the warm reception.
Sunday night jenkins was awakened
by crowd of masked men. Though
alone he prepared to stand his ground
he shot twice in the crowd with his
gun. One of the intruders fell. A vol
ley was then poured at him by the in
vaders. He fell, badly wounded about
the head and face. He was immedi-
ately surrounded, picked up in his
naked state and dragged into the yard,
where he was given a most unmerciful
beating, his back being literally cutinto
threads. Content with their work, they
left the old man badly wounded, with
the warning to leave the country by
Saturday night.
A negro named VIM. Simpson is the
only witness to the deed. He was COM
pelled by the wretches to escort them
to jenkins house. Simpson says one
of the band was shot and badly wound
ed by Jenkins. Some hours later 2S
men, all heavily masked and armed,
crossed the river at Douglass ferry, one
of the number bleeding profusely.
The residents of this vicinity, while
not approving of jenkins loose con-
duct, are indignant at the outrage

A CHINESE. REBEL
Alive an Hour and a Half After the Elk.
ecutioner Began Cutting
Him to Pieces.

A despatch from Shanghai, China,
describes the execution of one of the
chiefs of the recent rebellion in
Mongolia. The man was brought
in chains to Tientsin, and after be-
ing examined for several hours by
the viceroy, Ii Hung Chang, was
executed by the "slow process, /"
ling chi.slicing to death Qiterally;
cutting into ten thousand pieces.
The wretch was fastened to wood
en- cross, and the executioner pro-
ceeded to cut slices from him here
and there, beginning with the end
Of the nose, then cutting of pieces
of the arms and breast and legs, but
carefully avoiding vital part.
It is usual in the case of this pun
ishment for the friends of the con-
demned to bride the executioner to
give the victim a fatal stab at an
early stage in the proceeding, but it
happened that the rebel had no
money and no friends in that vicini-
ty, and, besides, the executioner
was carefully watched by the ofic-
ials, who saw to it that he should
show no mercy, even if he was SO
inclined. So the torture went slow
ly on for an hour and half, until
the wretched victim presented a
most hideous spectacle, being denu>
ded of the greater part of the outer
flesh, and yet still alive.
At last the officer in charge or,
dered the executioner to strike off
the criminals head. The latter was
evidently conscious, for he heard
the order and bent his head to re.
ceive the blow. Throughout the
whole scene the victim never utter>
ed groan or an appeal for mercy,
though his compressed lips showed
that it was not without effort that
he maintained his apparent stolidity.
Several foreigners who where pres
ent at the scene say that it was the
most cruel Chinese execution they
ever witnessed.

SELF-CONTROL.
Giving Away to Feelings Results In
Insanity.

An expert and experienced off,
cial in an insane asylum said, lit
tie time since, that these institu>
tons are filled with people who
have given up to their feelings, and
that NO one is quite safe from an
insane asylum who allows himself
to give up to his feelings.
The Importance of this fact is al
together too little appreciated, es-
pecially by teachers. We are al
ways talking about the negative vir-
tues OF discipline, but we rarely
speak OF the positive virtues.
We discipline the schools to keep
the children from mischief, to main
tain good order, to have things quite
to enable the children to study.
We say, and say rightly, that there
cannot be a good school without
good discipline.
We do not, however, emphasize
as we should the fact that the dis
cipline of the school, when rightly
maintained is as vital to the future
good of the child as the lessons he
learns.
Discipline OF the right kind is as
good mental training as arithmetic.
1t is no: of the right kind unless il
requires intellectual effort, mental
conquests.
The experienced official referred
to above was led to make the fol
lowing remark by seeing a girl give
way to the "sulks.'' "That makes
insane women" he remarked, and
told the story of a women in an
asylum who used to sulk until she
became desperate, and the expert
said, "You must stop it; you must
sontrol yourself ?" to which the in
sane woman replied:
'The time to say that was when
| was a girl. | never controlled
myself when I was well, and now [
cannot"
The teacher has wider response.
