came along and pied his turkey, and was able to prove it by the mark of the wing. The negro was arrested, owned to the theft, and returned 65 cents the money, having spent a dime. The negro was sent to jail to await the action of the grand jury aud the criminal court, for which the county must pay 150 or tlOO as the law will have to take its course all for ten cents. Weare of thefepinion that 'Squire Orgain'a law, "30 in such casee, and put the negro at work, is mighty goed.

Alamo Sentinel: Last Monday evening, about 6 o'clock, three of the colored prisoners broke out of the jail at this place and made good their escape. Two of them were sentenced to five years each iu the penitentiary at the recent term of court, and the other was in jail for aarryiog a pistol. Banner: There are several young lady students attending our medical colleges, some of whom will graduate during the present term. Every day the fact is more and clearly demonstrated that women physicians are destined to occupy a very prominent position ia profession of medicine. Henderson Connty News: We are reliably informed that on Sunday night unknown parties went boldly into the town of Saltillo and tore down window blinds, doors and gates and piled them in the streets and burned them.

All persons who attempted to come near the fire were fired upon and driven back. On Monday night the M. E. Church building was set on fire and totally destroyed. It is generally believed that the same parties started both the fires.

Nashville Banner A tooth was extracted from the mouth of Maggie Lee Shute, aged 12 years, daughter of John W. Shute, of Hendersooville, Sumner county, some time ago, by O. G. Wilson, dentist, in the hollow of which was found a brass pin and a splinter. The pia'protruded through the foramen of an inch.

The tooth had contained these foreigi substances over a year. "The patient only accounts for it in this way: She had a pin in her mouth for some purposes, which di appeared mysteriously, and she concluded she had swallowed it. The splinter she cannot give any account of. The tooth was donated to the Vanderbilt Dental School through Dr. Wilson.

The Frankfort Yeoman tells the whole story in these few words: "The exodus investigation now going on has shown conclusively that the whole thing was a political movement, and that large numbers of the North Carolina negroes who were taken to Indiana Lave died from the change of climate, and have been buried as paupers. The affair was a wholesale murder to promote Ridicol interests." AMOXG THE TEMPLES. SUMBER TWO. Here, in times past, many devotees, having bequeathed their worldly goods to the piiests, hurld themselves into eternity from these giddy heights, and no wonder, for we could easily imagine how a scene so wierdly grand roust inspire the heathen mind and seal the false teachings of a benighted priesthood. Now, however, the law holds the priests personally responsible for the lives of those who worship here, and religious suicides are few.

The shadows ol a dying day were gathering about the storm-tossed sea when we reached the temple homeland all that night the angry waves beat a loud retrain through our dreams of the shores beyond. The next day the storm burst in all its fury. The grand old building moaned and swayed in the wind, stou trees bowed an and parted with their loughs, and even the leaves were stripped off as by an unseen hand. One large cedar wis thoroughly splintered, and a few unhappy priests did penance by gathering up the fragments in the midst of the storm. It was too dark to see, andjthe wind so fierce that we could not keep a light save on the floor.

Through it all our only fear was for the precious home-mail, wnicn we rightly judged was in the very heart of the storm. We took them as from a watery grave, when we read of the dangers through which our letters had passed. The next morning shed a few tears over the ruthless work of her sister day, then brushed away th clouds and left us in the sunlight once more. Still the sea raged ar.d swept defiantly around our rocky dressing-rooms. We tried to stretch a'tent on the sandy beach, but the wind caused it to collapse before it was fairly raised.

A kind old priest then offered us the use of his temple. Tkis we gratefully accepted and took our accustomed plunge. Floating was easy work over such high waves, and at last I thought to try my swimming powers, struck out boKllyJfor the shore aud stuck fast in the sand. The treacherous tide was out. Pooto, 1871).

A. F. It is interesting, aud to many people it may be profitable, to know the comparative value of different kinds of wood for fuel. Shellbark hickory is regarded as the highest standard of our forest tre'es, and calling that 100, other trees will compare, with it for real value as purposes as follows; Shellbark hickory, 100; pignut hickory; 02; white oak, 84, white ash, 77; dogwood, 75; scrub oak, 73; white hazel, 72; appletree, 70; red oak, 67; white beach, 65; black birch, 62; yellow oak, 60; hard maple, 50, white elm, 58; red cedar, 56; wild cherry, 55; yellow pine.54; chestnut, 52; yellow poplar, 54; butternut and white birch, 43; white pine, 30. It is worth bearing iu mind that iu wood of the same species there is a great difference, according to the soil in which they grow.

A tree that grows on a wet, low, rich ground will be less solid and less durable for iuel, and therefore of less value than a tree of the same kind that grows on a dry and poor Boil. To the ordinary purchaser oak is oak and pine is pine; but for house use the tree grown on dry upland, and standing apart from all others is worth a great deal more. There are hints that the Pennsylvania delegates to Chicago will not obey the instructions given them by the state convention; but, instead of voting as a unit for Grant, will vote for whomever they individually prefer. The Pittsburg Commercial says: "It ia somewhat gratuitously taken tot granted that the delegates from this state to the Chicago convention of June 2nd will vote as a unit for Gen. Grant if Gen.

Grant be a candidate. It has been decided again aud again that no delegate is bound by the majority of the delegation. He is bound only by the wishes of his constituents. Many of the delegates chosen are gen-tlemensuggested by their districts, and who are already directed by their constituents to vote for Senator Blaine. That there may be no misunderstanding on the part of these delegates, it would be well for county conventions, which will soon meet to nominate local candidates, to pass resolutions instructing the delegates of their district how to vote.

The unit rule is a snare of the machine, and should not be respected. Precedent declares that it is not binding. It should be made wholly obsolete." The drawbridge over Hatchie river near Brownsville has been completed, and boats are passing. THE XEXT CONGRESS. Hon.

C. B. Simonton Answer Some Questions That are of Interest to bis Constituents. Washington, D. C.

Feb. 6, 1880. L. D. Card well, editor Our Country, Dresden, leon.

ear bir: Yours of the 2nd iust. is at hand, requesting an answer.from me to certain questions therein propounded, to wit: Will I be a candidate for re-election to Congress at the next November election; aud, if so, will I submit my claims to and abide by the decision ef a Democratic convention? I did not propose, at so early a day, to make any public declaration as to whether I would be a candidate for re-election or not. But, as a constitu ent of mine, as a Democrat, and being an editor, whose duty it is to "watch," 1 recognize your right and propound the enquiries and also to a frank and candid answer. in reply i would say: am very grateful to the people of the Ninth Congressional district for the honor they conferred iu choosing me their representative. 1 am very, earnestly striving so todischarge thedutiesof this position as thai I may receive their approval.

I want to submit to the people who sent me here utter the session of Congress is over, for their decision, the question of how have I discharged the trust which they committed to my hands, whether well or not. It will be the proudest day of my life, if they will endorse me by a continuation of their confidence. But you ask will I submit my claims to, and abide by the decision, of a Democratic convention? Ou this proposition I have no hesitation. I am a Democrat. I am for organization.

I earnestly desire and will strive to promote the harmony and unity of the party, and not only in the Ninth Congressional district, but throughout the whole country. If I had ever hesitated in this matter, which I have not, I would not falter now. We have reached a ciisis, where the welfare of the country, honest and economic government, the rights aud liberties of the people and their protection against the oppression and robbery of combination and cou federations, the right of local self-government itself, and of the people to choose and put in office rulers of their own choice, depends on the completion of the change, now partly effected, in the administration of our national aft fairs. But the leaiers of the Republican party, drunken with the long continued reign of power, have grown audacious, reckless aud defiant, and emboldened by the success of past efforts to thwart the will of the people need but the slightest pretext to attempt to continue their power, despite the voice of the people to the contrary, even to force as well as fraud. We i must succeed in our next election.

To accomplish this we will need harmony and united efforts all alobg the line. We ctiu't afford to lose a State; we can't afford fa lose, or run the risk of losing, a single congressional district. The organization of the next House of Representatives may, indeed probably will, depend on the result of election in a single congressional district. What is there daring enough to imperil the interests of the whole country, for years to come, for bis own personal aggrandizement, by sowing dissensions or bringing in questions not necessary for determining national issues? I trust there are few. I will submit my name aud all my aspirations to a Democratic conrention and abide by its decision.

At the Alamo convention I was ready and willing and did cheerfully retire when I thought the successful issue of the convention requested it, am I ready to obey the voice and will of my party. If it shall continue its confidence to me aud approve my course by return ing me again to this post of honor and great responsibility, I shall, indeed, be 'gratified, and will address myself to my duties with renewed energy and confidence; for I will bring to their discharge some experience which I did not possess when first honored and trusted by it. If, however, my party shall entrust me no longer, but will transfer its banner f-om my hand to that of some worthier son, I will cheerfully acquiesce and will give him my hearty support, and my voice and counsel will be lor harmony, unanimity, success. I am very truly yours, Chas. B.

The "Shot Gun Policy." The Litchfield Democrat is the authority for saying that a few days ago a young lady of Carlinville sent the following note to a young gentleman-of that place: "Deer Will: Daont kum to see na eny more for a whial eny way. Faultier has got awfully skeered about burglars, and he sits up every nite till laite with a double barrelled shot-gun watching the back yard. He put moren pound of lead into Brown's nu-found dog which was kummin over the fens after a bone last night. The rose it red. tie riolet ia bine.

I wouldn't kum now if I was yea." The following order was presented in the Maine Legislature by a mmber, "Ordered, that the judiciary commiU ty be to inquire into the spe-diency ef so amending the cotistition of the state that the wright of suffoge shall be limeet to those who are able to read and rite the lemjanse."
