A terrible tragedy in ballroom in Pickens
county, Ga, year ago, Is recalled to puplic
notice BY the recent capture of ths beautiful
murderess in North Carolina. The crime
sprang from the intense Jealousy of Kate
Southern, wife of few months of one Mar
cissa Conant, one of her husbands old flames.
AS Southern was taxing Miss Conant out upon
the floor at country dance, Kate came for
ward and forbade the couple to dance together;
but they disregarded her wishes and proceeded
with the cotillion. The slighted girl borrowed
jacknife of her father on pretext, approached
the couple and, without word Of warning,
plunged the blade deep into the bosom of her
hated rival. Another blow pierced the victims
stomach, but she was dead almost as soon as
she reached the floor. As the frantic murder
ess stood brandishing the bloody knife before
the paralyzed throng, the husband drew pis-
20, forced the crowd to give way, and taking
his vile by the arm the two passed out aud fled
away in the darkness Nothing more was seen
or heard OF them until few weeks ago when
II was learned that they were in North Caro-
lima, and officers started in pursuit After
many windipgs it was found that they were on
their way to Alabama, in company with South
ern's father and two brothers, and the pursnsrs
came up with them near Murphy. The party
got In their front and by an adroit surprise Sc
cured them as they were driving through the
woods, though they were armed and prepared
for desperate resistance. The mnrderess was
discovered in a covered wagon, ignorant of
danger with five months child at her breast.
Southern's father and brothers were released,
but the husband and wife, with their little
babe. were taken back to Georgia and all
but in one cell together. Kate still glo,ies in
her terrible crime and will be found guilty of
murder, and then the State will have the DELI

THE following appeal made by Mississippi
Republican to his party in New Hampshire,
commands the attention of Maine Republi-
cans as well:


ut is hardly necessary to make an appeal to
New Hampshire Republicans to do their duty.
They are not merely voting to give New Hamp-
shire benefcent state government They are
voting for the permaDency of Republican insti-
tutions and the honor of the federal Union.
They are checking the advance of the hnogry
and remorseless hordes of the solid South upon
the treasury of the country. They are voting to
make hsnesty and sobriety respectable, and to
reprove the plant alton manners revived in the
Congress of the United States by the influx of
Confederate Brigddlers. They are voting to
suppress war, to foster honesty, economy, and
a strict observance of the obligations OF the ma
ton. Surely, then, no Republican will remain
away from the polls. If be does, my opinion
is that he will regret is delinquency just once
and that will be for the remainder of his life."

The praises of others may be of use in

Most of the shadows that cross our

A man may say thing twice if he
says it better the second time than he
was able the first.


Good counsels observed are chains to
grace, which, neglected prove halters to
strangle undutiful children.


Our passions are like convulsive fits,
which, though they make us stronger
for the time, leave us the weaker ever
after.


Health is the only riches that a man
ought to set value on; for without it
all men are poor, let their estates be
what they will.


Whatever you would not wish your
neighbor to do to you do it not unto him.
This is the whole law; the rest is mere
exposition of it.

battles and goes down deep and scars
high, is the stuff of which heroism is

We learn the golden value OF our pleasure

Too blind to see

While yet you may;
Why wat until to-day becomes tomorrow?

Oh be not the first to discover


A blot on the fame of friend,
A flaw IN the faith of lover,


Whose heart may prove true to the enc
We none Of us know one another,
And oft into error we fail;
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at ALL
A smile or a sigh may awaken


Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true
How oft the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet
To cover a soul full of sadness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull a suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal;
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let ours be noble ambition,


For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not of him at all.

THE political prospect in Pennsylvania is
portrayed by the Philadelphia Enquirer thus:
"There never was any doubt Of Republican
victory in Pennsylvania, after the present ex-
cellent State and city tickets were nominated,
except in connection with the possibility of
the Greenback organization developing phe-
nomenal strength. 1t is now seen, fort
night before the day of election. that it is in
no manner formidable in itself, and that
while it will be contributed to by both the old
parties, the Democrats will add five or more
votes for every one given to it by the Repub.
licans. The campaign as it has progressed
has developed the fact that the Republican
and Democratic leaders make a mistake
about the new party. They were stunned by
the clamor it made, and while the one was
scared by its sound and fury, really signify
ing nothing, the other was oversanguine of
the help to be got from it. The truth is
known now, and it is perceived that the Re-
publicans will not lose by it, and that the
Democrats not only will not make by it, but
be the worse for it.'
