friends then went to the place where he was

John Smith, of Carter County. was captured
by some of Duval's men on the 1st of Janu-
ary 1865. He captured in the road in
what is called tho Lyons settlement, in Carter
County, by Jacob Nave and few other rebel
soldiers Nave was a citizen of Carter County,
and had lived neghbor to Smith all his life,
and although Smith had never done him any
harm, he assisted in taking him to Jail in Eliza
bethon, and abused him shamefully on the
road After OBTAINING him in Jail short time,
he was bandcuffed and taken to the Bone
ward" guarded by four OF the most outrageous
villains that belonged to Duvall's command.

in fact, they seemed to rejoice at the sight of
human suffering. One of the party, whose
name was Motte said that he would much

that he loved to them jump whom the ball

expected at the hands of such men? In vain
he implored them to let him see his wife
and children before they murdered him. His
request was abruptly denied, and he was
ordered at once to kneel and receive the ball,
if he did not wish to be shot standing up. He
then got down upon his knees begging them
not to shoot him but one time. This request
was granted, but they took particular care to
make one shot answer their purpose, for the

A BRAVE WOMAN.
She Acts as Jai1er in Her Husbands Absence
and Shoots Down Prisoner.

Griffin, Ga, April 5.-(Special. "A
plucky little woman was the heroine OF an
interesting little sensation here yesterday.
Mrs. Ernest Schultz, vile OF Jaller
Schultz, shot negro prisoner who was try,
ing to escape from the Jail. and the RAPID
shots brought the negro to the ground and

Mr. Ernest Schultz, the jailer, is also q

in the jail with her children. The Jailer S

The negro shot is medium sized black

shooting occurred.
The negro is Il resident of Griffin. About
ten days ago he burslarized the house OF
Charley Conley, another negro. lie escaped
but was arrested at Senolh TO-DAY ana

About an hour after his Incarceration he
asked for a drink of water. little boy
carried the water to him in n jug. but his
mother told the little child as the negro
was a strange prisoner she would acconpa-
ny him. SO she stood at the head OF the
stairs while the little boy carried the wa
ter to the cell. The negro asked the child
if his father was at home and receiving
a negative answer would not allow the
child to close the door, but attempted 30
push it open and escape.
Mrs. Schultz went to her chiid's assist
ance, and, holding pistol in one hand, tried
with the other to close the door.
IF YOU don't close this door III shoot

The negro forced the door open and grab

l awaited my baby this morning,
As ! waited for him every day,
To come from his early breakfast,
So loving and blthc and gay,
With his books slung over his shoulder,
And his little cap in his hand,
TO take sweet leave of his mother,
To look in her eyes, and stand
A moment beside her, smiling.
As he goes through the pretty rule
OF kissing her twice, "Goodby! Goodby"
Ere he trudgcs away to school.
l waited in vain for my darling:
could not believe my eyes
When ! saw him bound over the threshold
Dat under the bright spring skies,
So eager to join his comrades
4 moment he could not miss,

My child Had his mothers pettinS
No longer it's soothing charms?
Alas. It's the old. Old story
The mother must take her place
In his heart, in a far-oif corner,
With her dear old yearning face
shrincd dimly within his mem'ry,
While newer, more thrilling ties
Wind in and out lmong his heart strings
And cling to his lips and eyes

Nor, one thing, now another
Alas for my boy, he's my "bahy no HOT

Slavery in Missouri.
from The Chicago News Record.
According to dispatches there IS at least one ne
gro alaye in the state of Missouri. George VIM
Of Fayette was convicted of vagrancy and IN &C
cordance with a statutory provision was placed
unou the auctioneers block and knocked down to
the hirbest bidder TO serve six months in bond
are The price paid was $50.
As an example of freak legislation this law has
ALWAYS lent q certain whimsicaity to the pages of
the statute books. Enforced TO the letter, 1t be-
comes. in principle, something vicious and intol-
cradle.
In times past Missouri has had cause to lnvesti-
pate cruelties arising out OF the contract system
in her penitentiary. Abuse Of a hundred or
thousand men Is more to be deplorod than like
cruelty to a single individual, save in the mere
point of numbers; and in this slave system there
il every latitude afforded for abuses.
Vacrancy is something to be dep!ored and to be
legislated against but no odum can he put upon
the vagrant by placing him in the hands OF citl-
s,n slave driver. He has no pride lett which may
BE- thus appealed to only his sense OF justice and
an innate repugnance to slavery may make him
worse man from the Intliction
In this law there are the traces OF an old STAIN
that was once upon the nation. They are not Or
namental to the escutcheon of the great common
wealth of Missouri.

& Clergy man on the Hoopskirt.

From The Boston Herald
At the Monday meeting of Baptist minis
tiers in Il certain part Of New York city,
Rev DR.. Boyle had the courage to tell his
brethren that he did not wish any females
TO attend his church who were arrayed in
hoopskirtS. He wanted to bring the breth-
rem at the Monday meetings. where they
had things all to themselves, to take 81
stand with him on this momentous subject
The women were carefully excluded from
this meeting because they were not clergy
men, or if we may coin a new word. cler-
gywomeu. The question might be raised
whether DR.. Boyle has had an unfortunate
experience which led him to take this atti-
tude. 1T is not stated that the rest of the
Baptist clergy joined with him IN the at
tack upon the hoopsSrt. or that the move
ment is extending among the clergy of the
metropolis. and, as il takes more than one
swallow 10 make n summer. it will require
more than one Baptist minister 10 take the
lead in this movement if it is TO succeed
Evidently DR. Boyle does not know how to
carry on social reform. If he had first
consulted the women and secured their back
ing he would have Il better chance of sue
cess as dress reformer.
