place Monday night. For two hour,
she held the closest attention of every
body, and when she closed it was the
unanimous opinion that she had made
one Of the best speeches ever heard in
this neighbOrhood. We are for her
down here and we are for her strong.
She is one Of the people; coming from
humble parantageT with no golden
opportunities, she has worked in sea-

education. She has prepared herself
for the work, she is in ev~ry way
worthy, and we believe that her cleo

girls, many Of whom are now doing a
great work 10 the school room.
But l am depressing little, II

made to keep Miss Nina from speaking
in the school house at this place. The
effort was confined to one or two men,
however, and they were afraid that
the benches would get damaged.
There were plenty of men here who
were ready to stand good for all DANA

while the directors were delaying
Mr.. Lewis DaughteIy, one of
our best citizens, invited Miss Nina
and the audience to his residence, he
said his house was open for her to

When the speech was finished,

aid that If any damages had been

Blind WOman's Horrible Death,

Martha Osborn, an old col0red wo-
man who has been totally blind for
seven years, was burned To death in o
cabin on Mr. Jesse Giles farm, near
Howell, few days ago. The woman,
who was 20 years old, was lef: alone
by the colored family for several hours.
On their return they found that she
had been burned to crisp, presenting
most shocking spectacle. When
the family left the cabin they left a
small fire in the fireplace, and the
supposition is that the old woman in
lowering over the Goals to keep warm
got too near and her clothing caught.
The cabin was situated some distance
from any other dwelling and her
screams could not be heard. The
charred remains were placed in box
and buried in the colored burying
ground in the ncighborhood. Hop

that but little will be said by tn :
silver Democrats. A quiet canvass
was made this morning to ascertain
how long it would take for the deliv-
cry of the remainder Of these speeches

vote on the bill itself will probably
not be taken until Saturday, unless
there should be an unexpected dispos-
ition manifested not to consume any

ent was informed from the most trust.
worthy source that the President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury are bit
terly opposed to the compromise gotten
up by the Steering Committee Of the
Senate. The President denounces it.
and says that he knew nothing about
it, and desires TO it defeated.
The report given out to the CORES
pondents yesterday and to-day that all
of the Democratic Senators but three
had signed the compromise is untrue.
There are eight who had refused to
sign the surrender, and will continue
to refuse. They are senators Hill,

Only thirty-six have signed the paper
and It Is now not probable that enough
