Tom Immediately went to his duties
in the engine room, where he met with
an accident that nearly cost him his
life. At nearly the foot Of the iron
hatchway he slipped and fell, SO that
his left foot caught in rapidly re-
volving crank. Before he could throw
his arms over his shoulders and grasp
an iron rod to extricate himself, his
leg was horribly mangled just below
the knee by another revolution of the
crank. He tainted away before help
could be summoned.
After Tom had been carried, uncon-
scious, to the deck, set about in the
absence of the surgeon, who was
ashore, to check the flow of blood from
the wound by twisting handkerchief

70 Was Very Important Evidonce In Z
Tennessee Murder Case.
The horse has been known 10 &c,

cording to the Boston Herald. Thus,
in Shelby county, Tenn. a shocking
murder was committed. and the trial
OF the murderer came of In O dis
trict which was divided from one OF
another jurisdiction by the highway
on which the deed was committed.
The body was found few yards
from the road, from which 1t had
evidently been dragged. and the
doubt arose as to which civil district
the murder had been committed in.
which gave rise to the probability
that the murderer would escape con-
viction.
Several months passed away be-
fore the trial was commenced, when
one of the witnesses. mounted on the
horse OF the deceased, and accompa-
MED by q number of persons, was
riding toward the court house
When the horse reached the vicinity
OF the scene OF the murder he began
to show symptoms OF alarm, which
conduct greatly surprised all who
witnessed it, for the other horses of
the company betrayed no indications
of fear. AS tho party proceeded on
ward the agitation Of the horse in
creased, and when he reached q
point in the road opposite where the
body was found his excitement was
SO great that he became unmanagea-
BILE altogether The gentlemen
present came to halt and looked on

quivered, his nostrils dilated, and,
his eyes glancing into the woods

ment
One Of the gentlemen present. sus-
pecting the cause of the horses
agitation, suggested that he should
have a loose rein which being
granted, the noble animal rushed
into the thicket, and coming to q
certain tree commenced paving at
its roots. Then making his way
farther into the forest, he circled
round and returned to the same spot,
whore he stood trembling with agita-
ton and paving until he was vio-
lently forced away. and whenever
afterward he passed that same spot
his conduct was invariably the same.
No blood had ever been seen upon
the road, and no appearance of any
unusual struggle had ever been dis
covered. If the murder took place
In the highway, the horse would
have known nothing Of the trees in
the neighboring thicket; II it was
committed where the body was found,
then the court had no jurisdic-
ton and the murderer would go scot
free.
Upon the trial this testimony Of
the dumb animal against the prisoner
proved most startling. His sagacity
was proverbial in the neighborhood
where he belonged, and his attach
ment to his master was such that he
followed him round like dog. In
unmistakable pantomime he enacted
the committal of the murder, pictured
the decoy into the wood, the assas-
sins demand for gold and the death
struggle under the tree, and thus
the doom of tho prisoner was sealed.

And bushes like girl;

The flower he loved the best,
And kissed him once and wrenched apart
And looked again-and saw him start,
A soldier with the rest.
My country asked my all, and l.

The daisies withered with July;
And when the August fields were dry
They brought me blackstone clay.
A stiff, soaked letter on its breast
With crumbling petals in;
A brow that bore the kiss Of rest;
And, lightly to its treasure prest,
The fingers pale and thin.

That pinned the winter through,

Perhaps, In place of Natures shower,
It drank too bitter dew.
One little starving bloom it bore,
But timely did its part;
And while to-day the roses pour,
My boy shall have his own once more
A daisy on his heart!

The rescue of the men stands with

was all they had to eat which were
consumed in two days. They were
without anything to drink save a few
mouthfuls of bitter sulphur water and

they were too weak to get thar. They

they went down the mine and while at
work heard the crash of the fall. they
were knocked down by the conclusion
and then tried to find their way out.
