MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



Greenville, Oct. 7.--On Tuesday night
NJ. {. Scurry, who resides near Stone.
vile in this county, and who is known
to re absolutely fearless, and. who's
drinking, desperate, came to Greenville
on the ii am. train and found John
Estcss, young man of Greenville, in
the room of Mrs. Alice Anderson, a
woman who three years ago shot her
husband in row about Scurry, with
whom she has long been intimate. On
seeing Estess, Scurry at once drew his
pistol and began firing, but missed. He
then took the weapon and brutally beat
Estess, leaving him in a critical condi-
tion, and would have killed him but for
the interference Of Mrs. Anderson.
Friday Scurry was brought beior Justice
Harry Smith. He asked the court to
let him see the warrants upon which he
was arrested, and when handed to him
he coolly placed the papers in his :n-
side coat pocket, then assumed full
control of the court ana proceeded to
denounce and abuse the court in Ian
guage that was terrible to hear. lie
defied constables and judges and after
firing all the dirty language he could
command at the officers OF the law, de-
liberately walked away, and SO far none
OF the constables or policemen seem to
be anxious to tackle him, as he is still
at large. 1t seems that one man has
absolutely terrorized at least one entire
court in a city Of nearly 10000 people.

How TO shoot n Rather.

The writer saw an Indian kill
rattlesnake in very peculiar mau'
ner recently. The RATHER was about
10 feet from the Indian, who was
resting the rifle ON his knee, appar.
emily taking aim.
Whenever h. moved the weapon q
few inches, the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with
it. Then, to show how the thing was
done, the Indian moved about the
snake in a circle, and the reptile
moved as if his tail were a pivot, al
ways keeping his head and body in
line with the gun. The Indian then
agreed to banlage his eyes and shoot
the snake in the mouth.
The writer bandased the Indians
eyes, and, holding the gun by his
side at arms length, the latter pulled
the trigger, and the ball entered the
snakes mouth and passed the whole
length of his body.
"How did you take aimf' was the
query
The snake he take aim, was the
reply.
We have talked with an old hunt
er on this proposition, and he claims
that rattl snake Will always range
directly iii line with gun or stick
pointed al it.-CaIson Appeal.

THE ILL FATED EVENING STAR.

One uf the Most Pathetic Tragedies VI the
Atlantic Coast.
One of the most terrible tragedies
of the Atlantic coast was the loss of
to steamship Evening Star with 26O

Oct. 3, 1866. The Evening Star was
ON her way from New York to New
Orleans and was rolled about for a
long time in q constantly increasing
storm. At O'Clock on the morning
OF Oct. a vast mountain OF water
fell on the deck and stove in the
etarboarl forward gangway. A bulk
head was hrrriedly erected to keep
the water ont, but it was swept
away. Four times the crew rebuilt
the hulkhead, only to see the waves
tear it away. The rndderwas thrown
out of gear, and t. ? sea made a clean
breach over the ship.
Men and women alike helped to
bad the water out of the vessel, but
the sea poured in iTesistibly. Tho
captain told the passengers that
there was little hope left, but urged
them to be cool. Among the passen
gers were the members of French
opera company, and the prima donna
worked at the buckets like the rest.
Just about dawn the captain sol
EMMY addressed the crew and pas
senge,s. He told them that the ship
must go down. Men and women
rushed about the deck yelling, tear
ing their clothes off and plunging
into the scetning sea. There were
several hfebouts, but they could not

boats remained on ths deck and
were loaded with people, who wait.
cd for the Evening Star to sink.
The captain wept and babe farewell
to his companions. The crew main
tanned good discipline. In an hour
the ship gave Il lurch and plunged
down into the ocean. The crowded
iifeboats We're sucked under, and the
sea was full! Of men and women call

were crushed into shapeless masses
by the dliltwood that swirled around
