House In which They Took Refuge

Frenzied Citizens.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 5.-Jeff Ellis, a
negro about thirty years, of age, is sur
rounded at Mason, in the adjoining county
OF Fayette, and before morning che will
have met the fate usually melted out TO black
brutes in this section OF the country.
Ellis was passing the house of a white
farmer near Braden, in the same county.
yesterday morning and noted the fact that
the only occupants OF the honse We're three
girls, the eldest twenty years old, and her
sisters, aged ten and twelve, respectively
He called the eldest to the fence telling
her he had note which he wanted her TO
give to her father when he came in from
work. The girl went to receive it. but
instead of the note she was grasped by
the wrist and pulled over the fence.
She resisted with all her strength which
caused the brute To hurl her against the
fence with great violence aud also To choke
her into insensbility. She was thus rem.
dered powerless. One or the girls sisters
ran To the nearest neigDbor. but before
any one came Ellis had fled
AT one time the pursuers We're within
fifteen minutes OF him, but il was not until
1 O'Clock Tonight that lie was located
i'll Il house at Mason, an adjoining town
Some ten or twelve of his friends had
gathered there to prevent his capture,
and the whites were niassing to take and
lynch him. II is safe to say he will be dead
before daylight, though particulars OF the
affair are not yet at hand.

or five times this period was given TO the

Bancroft deroted nearly thirty years to
! his history of the United States, which Is
not a history of the United States at all,
since il ends where the history OF the coun-
/ try properly begins. Had the work been
! continued on the same scale down to the
/ present seventy -fiv cor ei gbt yvolumes would

Emerson is reported often to have spent
/ fromsiX months to n year in the composition
OF one or two short essays. His object was
the condensation OF the greatest possible
| thought into the fewest number of words.
johnson commonly required three or four
months for the composition OF a drama. He
generally revised it after the rehearsals
had begun, adding here and taking away
there a his judgment and fancy dictated.
Cruden laborcd nineteen years on his con-
corlance to the Bible and Immediately after
disqualification was sent to a lunatic asylum.
He never entirely recovered from the
mental disease induced by this gigantic IN
derta king.
George Eliot is said to have written MI
llemarcb" in fouI.noDths. Some doubt is
thrown upon this statement by the fact
that she commonly worked slowly, writing
with great care and elaboration and max
ing few erasurcs after her work was done.
Irving wrote the first 90 pa ges of Brace
bridge Hall'' in ten days; the -'Alhambra''
was mostly written during the three months
he spent in that palace; his Life of George
Washington" required nearly five years.
Thomas Moore often wrote a short poem
most impromptu. He consumed over two
years in reading and preparing material for
''Lalla Rookh" and two years more in writ
ing that inimitable poem.
Dickens says in the introductionto David
Copperfield' that he spent two years in the
composition OF that novel. He did not us
ually require so long time, many OF bis
novels being finished in less than a year and
most of his shorter stories in q few days.
Burns committed his poems to memory
as he composed them and when he sat dow.
to write he had before him no labor of COM
position but only the task of writing down
what he had already finished.
Scott is said to have written .'waverley"
In less than six weeks. he wrote very rap
idly, seldom revised, and. as a consequence
his novels are full of blunders, inaccuracies
and anachroniSms.
