SOUTHERN GLEANiNGS.


A tragedy is reporte' from Ware
county, Ga, in which Isaac Williams
was the victim and John Wilson the
perpetrator.
There was in the ncighborhood a young won
an of whom Williams was greatly enamored,
but he was very slow about marrying her.
Subsequently Wilson entered The arena, pro-
posed marriage, and the woman became his
wife. Recently Wilson has had cause to sus
pect that Williams was visitor to his house
during his absence. When he returned home
the other day he found his wife sun ering from
a severe beating which her old lover had given
her for not keeping an appointment with him.
Wilson had a warrant issued for the arrest oil
Williams, upon hearing of which the latter
sought the husband and tsunted him with re-
sorting the law instead OF lighting 1t out.
II hear you intend to have me arrested" said
Williams; "but am ready for you, and you
will get the worst OF 1t II you ever trife with
me"
Thereupon Wilson procured shotgun, and,
hunting up Williams. filled him with bullets.
Wilson surrendered TO the others.

A True American woman.

The death OF Mrs. VIM. G. Whitnty
is to no small extent a national loss.
As one OF the few social ladies' in New
York who did not bow to foreign pre-
tensions nor ape foreign manners, but
led society along the lines OF genuine
American life. her influence was felt in
circles where it was most needed, and
where she rendered her countrywomen
a service Of great importance, says the
San Jose Mercury. We have few wo-
men OF equal wealth and social ambi-
ton, who were so truly American as
she, and the society of the East has
good cause to mourn her death.

There are rumors afloat that an eff
fort is to be made to get a bill through
our present Legislature to charter a
lottery. Such a scheme had better not
be attempted. Our constitution will
not permit lotteries. One attempt has
been made to change this provision Of
our fundamental law and it signally
failed. Let there be no more attempts
of a similar character. Lotteries are
not in accord with a high civilization.
A lottery scheme in Hawaii had much
to do with deposing Queen Liliuoka-
lani. Navada wants nothing to do
with lotteries. -Virginia Chronicle.

A Good One On senator, Jones.

" oVDi rs WI fhhWkO
An Eastern paper gives an account
| OF how Senator John Z. Jones was mis-
taken az TO his vis-a-vis in a restau-
rant in Brussels. Our Senator had the
usual experience during his European
visit that men OF recognized wealth are
accustomed to, viz: Constant applica-
tions for pecuniary aid, until he fan
cied that every stranger that intro
duced his or herself needed watching.
At the time referred to q well dressed
lady sat opposite him, and after inquir-
ing IL he was the Nevada Senator, ask
ed If he would do her a great favor.
J. p. was somewhat nonplussed and
for a time could not answer, but upon
the request being repeated said that he
had aided SO many during his stay in
Europe that he must hear what was
needed before committing himself,
when the lady said: " Please pass the
mustard you have monopolized it for
a long time and l need a little for my
meat" 1t was q hard one on the Sem
ator, for the reason that he is said to
be a perfect gormandizer Of the article
and the very pink of %politeness in
ladies' society.

The San Francisco Report OF last Fri
day Gays: Some one must have impos.
ed upon the credulily OF an esteemed
morning paper, which stated that a
meeting lasting four hours had been
held yesterday between John w. Mac
kay. james l.. Flood, ID. o. Mills and
Samuel l.. Jones, at which a project
to pump out the lower levels OF the
Comstock had been agreed upon. No
such meeting was held here yesterday.
Soon after the arrival from the East
d. o. Mills left the city for Milbrae.
Samuel l.. Jones is on the Comstock
and has not left there for several
weeks. As the Report said yesterday,
a plan for draining the lower levels Of
OF the Comstock has been under dis
cussion for some time past, but wheth-
er it will be adopted remains 10 be
seen. The financial part Of it is a very
serious matter, now that the prices OF
stocks are down and assessments are
difficult to collect. As John w. Mac
kay is quoted as having said: "It is a
gigantic undertaking and would require
a vast outlay OF capital, and before it
is finally decided upon we must be sure
Of our ground" A meeting OF those
who are interested in the Comstoek
and its kindred interests is soon to be
held, at which the question Of pump
ing ont the lower levels will be dis
posed of.
