Killed

-
New Orleans, La. October 2i.-The
P~icayune's Forest. Miss. special says:
Eleven dead negroes. one dead white
man and one negro and three white
men seriously wounded. Is the result at
this writing Of the bloody war being
waged between the white and black
races In the HarpervilIe neighborhood,
OF Scott county. Several Of the rioters
have been captured and lodged In fail
at Forest today. but the others escaped
into the swamps. Large crowds OF
white men are in close pursuit, how
ever n more names are hourly ex-
pected 10 be added TO the death list.
II Is impossible to obtain n full list
or the killed for the reason that some
negroes were shot down in the woods
ana hurriedly buried by the whites
where hey fell. \ member OF the
posse said that he helped tn bury
three negroes in trenches. u neither
himself or any one in his crowd knew
the names and did not care enough
about them to inquire.
Governor McI-aurin went 10 Harper
Vile last night and appealed 20 the
whites not to modest the prisoners in
the custody Of the sheriff. The gov
ernor's talk had a good effect on the
majority Of those in the crowd. but
some OF the hot-headed members did
not relish the governors interference
and told him So in language more plain
than polite. For instance at n point in
h governors speech where he was
emphasizing the duty OF every citizen
To aid in the enforcement OF the law.
one impudent individual In the audi
ence yelled: Governor. during the
recent yellow fever epidemic. when
your services were wanted at Jackson.

You then? Now. when your services
are not needed. you come and stick
your nose into our business. Go back

The governor paid no attention to the
remark. but continued his
and finally persuaded the crowd 10

to Jail. The governor returned to
Brandon this morning.
Sherif Stephenson has been placed
on guard at the Forest Jail TO prevent
the lynching Of the rioters. now in GUS
tody on account OF open threats being
made here to storm the prison. Tonight
the negroes under arrest have made n
full confession.
The funeral OF the murdered officer,
Sibley. occurred at Harperville today
and was attended by hundreds OF peo-
pie.
1t is reported here that two OF the
murdered mans brothers are on their
way from their home. Yazoo county.
at the head Of a large crowd bound for
the scene OF the race war. 1t is feared
that when they arrive n determined
and successful assault will be made on
the negroes and all the rioters VIII be
lynched.
! Latre-Sherifr Stephenson considered
the situation So serious tonight that he
took the prisoners to Meridian for safe
keeping. a large posse was organized

As | remarked, the two armies occupied
opposite nights Marmont on the east and
Wellington on the west with valley two
miles long between. The French Marshal,
! about O'Clock on the 22d, sent forward
his lett wing to threaten the road to Ciudad
Rodrigo along which he expected the allies
to retreat. This wing pressing on too
rapidly, gradually became entirely sepa-
rated from the center.
When the report of this movement was
brought to Wellington, he could hardly
believe it. 1t did not seem possible that
General who had exhibited such striking
ability for the last few days, could commit
blunder that would be objectionable in
the most ordinary General. Fastening up
to the higher ground however. he beheld

on Marmont To- quell the violence ne eX-

He tUok the command on the 9th and
succeeded in quelling the disorders; but,
early next morning, the pOpulace was
again abroad and armed. In attempting
to disperse them a fierce battle ensued,
and Marmont fired on his countrymen.
The revolution was now fairly commenced,
and the poor Marshal was in a painful
dilemma.

Paris, he disputed the soil of his country
with heroic courage. And at last, when
driven into the Capital, he continued to
struggle on, as If he were determined to
wipe out every error of his life by his noble
self devotion to France.
Foremost in the lines, he exposed him
self like the meaneSt soldier and cheered
on his men against the most OveTwhelm

miraton on his conduct. and Napoleon
stood ready to cover him with honor, and
France to load him with blessings. But
he shamefully captulated, and let the
infamous coalition, which had struggled so
long to crush his country, triumph by
marching its armies into the Capital.
Napoleon was within a few hours ride OF
the city when it was surrendered and
could not at first believe the reports that

heart broke under the blow.
Marmont was mexeusable, for he had

Sixty thousand men were packed into that
basin. on whose dark masses the artillery
from the nights played with pitiless fury,
while clouds of dust, mingling with the
smoke of battle, rolled over them as they
struggled i'm the embrace TO death.
The wounded Marmont heard the uproar,
but his brave heart sank in despair as he
remembered how the battle stood when he
fell.
Still, ClauzeI did well nigh save him
from defeat AS the sun sunk behind the
western nights, he was driven back Though
the basin, but making gallant effort at
the base of the hill he arrested the onward
movement of the enemy, and following up
his success rolled the victorious columns

deepened over the bloody field, he had
driven Wellington so hard that a crisis
arrived when everything rested on the re-

The General who could bring the great

A Girls Voice.

A distinguishing difference between
the English and the American girl is
in the voice, and comparison does not
result favorably for the latter. The
low tones which Shakespeare recon-
mended and which are among the
most attractive charms of the nine
teenth century English women are the
exception, not the rule, with the Am
erican. The girl whose fathers bank
account is sufficiently lar"e to send her
to q school of the finishing" type is
expected to return with certain
amount of knowledge and mental dis
cipline, to be sure, but to her social
abilities and charms much more
thought is given. Least of her accom-
nlishments. she must dance, have some
music. perhaps sing; she must be per-
feet mistress of herself at teas, din
rers and receptions. with small talk
ever ready. But to the accompaniment
of all she does. her speaking voice, how
much, rather how little, real attention
is directed.--Philadelph Inquirer.

A Disobedfent Dog.

used to tell this amusing story of his
dog: ut one time my dog was fond
of going to the railway station to see
the people, and l always ordered him
to go home. fearing he would be hurt
by the cars. He easily understood that
II he went there it was contrary to my
wishes. So, whenever he was
near the station, if he saw me coming.
he would look the other way and pre-
tend not to know me. If he mat me
anywhere else he always bounded to
meet me with great delight. But at the
station it was quite different He would
pay no attention to my whistle or my
call. He even pretended to be another
dog. and would look me right in the
face wI,nout apparently recognizing
me- He gave me the cut direct in the
most impertinent manner. the reason
evidently being that he knew he was
wrong and did not like to be found out
Possibly he may have relied little
