LONGING.

IN city walls where duty bids me stay
long for woodland paths, sweet breath Of pins,
10 see again the distant, dazzling line
Df slender. sandy shore. I know today
How fair must lie the sea far, far away
On whose broad breast the sun wrought sapphres
shine
And sparkle in the wind that breathes Of wine;
How shafts Of gold and shifting shadows play
Beneath cool groves that sing slumber song
And clear bird notes tngling through and
through
The peaceful heart OF silence. All, long
For friendly frs that brush against the blue
And each still night to watch the warrior Mars
Review the vast procession OF stars!

CARING FOR INEBRIATES.
south Carolina May Build an asH
IuIn for Drunkards.

COLUMBIA. :. G. Jan. 2.--The question
of the State. which has monopoly OF the
liquor business. establishing an asylum for
,irunkards where they will be treated for
the disease on a system similar to that
used in the Keeiy institutes has been dis
cussed for some weeks. The idea has
taken some hold, and it is probable that a
bin will be introduced in the legislature
making some such provision.
There are TWO propositions that have ad
vocates. One set proposes to establish the
asylum or institute as an annex to the
State Insane Asylum, conducting ii under
the same management They contend that
the excessive use of liquor is, in many
cases. a disease: that the imbibeT is 10 all
effects and purposes insane, and entitled
70 treatment by the State-doubly so when
the State is the sole dealer in liquor.
Others urge that the legislature pass
law making drunkenness a crime, and es
tabiish reformatory for drunkards. where
they can be given hard work in cotton
mill, machine shops, and on farm. As
most of the drunkards are from cities aud
towns il is contended the fear of being
humiliated by being sent to a reformatory
will do more 10 keep them sober than any

The Cold Weather Having It's Effect
on the Market.

CRISFIELD. Nd, Jan. 2.-The Little
Annamessex River is frozen over and if
the cold spell continues the Tangier and
Pocomoke sounds will soon be closed.
There are a number of loads OF oysters in
the harboT and the captains are asking 81
a bushel for them.
No news has reached Crisfield from the
islands OF the Chesapeake since last Thurs
day. The steamer Eastern Shore reached
Crisfeld yesterday after experiencing great
difficulty with the ice in the harbor. A
heavy wind from the north prevails in
Crisfeld. The oystermen in Asbury are
now moving the oysters which they throw
overheard in the fall and are receiving
good prices for them. One firm in North
Carolina which was formerly located in
Crisfield lost over 10000 bushels of oysters
which were planted near Marshalburg

A DEMONS DEED.
Mrs. George Rawlings Murdered at
Her Home Near CIarkSviIIe.
Her Throat Cut From Ear to Ear by
Negro, Who is Killed by the
Enraged Husband.

CLARKsvILLE, Feb. 10 This commVp-
niCy was startled this morning by news.
OF The revolving crime of negro man at
the plantation of Geoge Rawlings, II
wealthy young farmer who lives about
five mlles from Clarksville on the Rus
sellville pike
Mr.. Rawlings had gone to his stable to-
Sc. about feeding his stock, and return
ing just in time TO hear his young wife
scream as he came into the YARD. He
ran into the house, catching sight of his,
negro man cook, Jim Gordon, gliding
from the head OF his wife's bed aid van
shing through a door on the opposite
side of the house. Calling to hls wife
and receiving only IA gurglmg sound for
an answer, he caught up his shotgun
and fired at the negro as he passed out
of the house. The shot missed him and,
tore piece out OF the door. Running
to the door he again raised the gun and
sent the remaining charge into the
negro's neck, making a hole just beneath
the base OF the skun into which a mans
fist could be thrust. He then rushed
upon the negrJ's prostrate form and
dashed his brains out with his gun,
swapping the stock AZ the first blow.
SaClshed that the negro was dead, he
! rushed back to hlS room only to find
that his wife was dead. The william had
used a tobacco knife, the blade of which
curved backward and was sharpened to
razor like keenuess, and had cut through
both the carotid artery and the juguIar
vein on the left side OF the neck, pene-
tratlng to the Vertebrae and making
ragged cash from the middle of the
throat to point below and behind the
ear.
The motive of the crime was clearly
robbery, as the wonan's purse, with
about 50 in it, was found on the negro's.
person. He had taken it from beneath
her pillow. About two weeks ago he
had come suddenly into her room with
an armful of wood, and had seen her
counting about $50 She had reported
the occurrence to her husband, begging
that he would bank the money at once.
Yesterday he did so. The negro had
Planned for his crime with great inge
nuity, wrapping IA heavy red table cover
about his right arm, evidently meaning
to catch all possible blood stains up
on it and burn it in the stove.
The murdered woman was one of the
most beautiful girls ever reared in this
county, Il daughter of w. ii. Killebrew,
one OF the leaumg painters in this sec
tion. She was just ~ years old, and
had been married only a year last Christ
mas. The husband, brothers and sis
ters and aged mother and father of the
victim are nearly crazed with grief and
: are absolutely inconsolable. Her mother
has to be kept under the influence of
, chlorOform.
