We clip the following items from the Knox ville Chronicle of the 3d: We learned yesterday the particulars of a shocking murder which occurred a few days ago at Scarbrough, in Anderson conuty. It seems tbat two women, Mrs. Dennaway and Mrs. Scarbrough, had some misunder standing, aud in the height of passion caiue to blows. In the course of the struggle which ensued, a son of Mrs. S., seeing that his mother was about to be overcome, interfered and knocked Mrs. Dennaway down with his fist The husband of Mrs. D. then in tarn struck the youth a violent blow upon tbe head with a club, breaking his skull, from the effect of which he died within the space of an hour Dennaway has been arrested.

Pacific coast The Supremo Court of Pennsylvania has affirmed the judgment of a lower court in the case of McMasteis v. the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, nud decides that when freight is shipped on the railroad to a station where the railroad company has no warehouse erected, the parties interested in the freight cannot recover from the railroad company if the freight be lost after it is lauded at tho sta tion—it being then the duty of the parties to whom it is shipped to look after it. This case is said to be the first of the kiad that has yet been brought before the Supreme Court of the State. The latest prospect for the rescue of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad from its financial embarrassments is to abandon the broad gauge, connect at Corry with the Phila delphia and Erie Road, and run by way of Williamsport, Milton and Easton to New York. This lootes like selling out to the Penn sylvania Central; and it would probably com- pell Gould aud Fisk to lay a third rail from Salamanca to New York to save their man agement of the Erie Railway. Tbe first narrow gauge railroad ou this con tinent has been completed and is declared to bo successful, viz: from Denver, Colorado City, on the Rio Grande, a distance of seven ty-six miles. The track is three feet wide, the rails weigh thirty pouuds to the yard, the greatest curvature is si^degrees to the hun dred feet, and the heaviest grade seventy-five feet to the mile. The building of the road and its equipment cost per mile $13,500, and this cost was enhanced by the expense of transportation of materials from the East Here such a road could be bnilt at much less expense.

According to Pope, however, reputation as a wit gives a man the privilege of saying stupid things unnoticed, and we suppose there is no use in being a poet laureate if one can’t write meaningless verse without being considered dull.—St. Louis Democrat From a Boston Tost report of a lecturo by Kale Stanton: “Young men, you should marry the large women rather than the small, all things else being equal. [Laughter aud applause.] Never marry a woman who is prone to depreciate tho virtues of any of her sex. Marry a widow especially if she be a mother of heellhy children, for widows in these days are apt to be more sensible than girls. Experience has done something foi them. [Laughter and applause.] A widow’: lovo is apt to be richer than that of a spoiled of this glad New Year. Hence, not a few were seen at the hours of ten, eleven, and twelve, issuing forth, availing themselves of that most fitting and timely occasion to mingle with each other in happy good wishes. Never have we seen so many ardent and ap preciative cavaliers urging their way to the abodes of their different friends, giddy with joy, inspired by the smile of some “half grown angel in disguise,” or happy with the yet unattained bliss of soon seeing some “bright particular.” Others who, like young Lochin\’ar, thought to “drown their sorrows iu the flowing bowl,” were radiant with the pink of Sherry, or enlivened by the inspiring drops of “Moet and Chandon.” The seven ages of the Bard of Stratford-on- Avon were well represented except, perhaps, sans teeth, sans eyes, etc., all imbibing to their fullest, the pleasures of the day, and with a zeal of rivalry did each express with peculiar grace, the common good wish, “A aappy New Year.” A few, by mismanagement of the song, would wish “a H-ap-p.y New Year,” or insist upcu saying, “Christmas Gift! ” But wo had charity for this failure, knowing that the spirit was willing, though the flesh was weak.

We feel safe in saying tbat to all was that occasion a “feast of reason and a flow of soul,” while the inner man was most bountifully sup plied with the rarest nourishment. “A sweeter draft from fairer hands was never quaffed,” constituted the thanks of many who indulged in the rubicund refresh ment, aud many wero the appropriate and brilliant toasts offered to the “charming” and “royal” hostesses. Such are the brief, pleasant, and never-to- be-forgotten reminiscences of our happy New Year’s day, which passed with all iu “Golden hours on angel wings.” How better can we end this imperfect com ment than by expressing the hope that the golden day was but typical of what the suc ceeding one may be, and when they have all passed, our retrospect for the vanished year may number very many as bright aud joyous.

By Mail to the Eba.] Since the New York Herald sent its cor respondent to find Dr. Livingstone, it is sug gested that some enterprising journal discover Sir John Franklin’s whereabouts. Tho Richmond Enquirer hopes that Tenny son’s “Last Tournament” will indeed be tbe last of his Arthurian fantasies. Tho premium of $25 offered by the editor of the Ladies’ Pearl for tho best w ritten story of not more than eighteen pages, has beeu awarded to Mrs. C. W. Barber lowles, of Georgia. While Train was in Louisville the other day, conversing with several gentlemen, he took from his pocket a big roll of greenbacks, the proceeds of a lecture, remarking: “They call Train a lunatic! That looks like tho work of a lunatic, don’t it ?" and then, with a Presidential smile, walked off. Mr. Edward Jenkins, author of “ Giux’s Baby,” has given to tho public another work equally clever—“Lord Bantan”—being the history of an aristocratic baby, quite the op posite of the indigent Ginx. It is a sharp and telling satire on the uselessness of the En glish aristocracy, and is destiued to be socially and politically, in England, a great success. The New York Star says: “Mr. T. C. De Leon has received and accepted an offer from Colonel Forsyth to resume the editorial man agement of the Mobile Register, and will leave iu a few days for the South. He will continue his connection with Leslie’s and Ap pleton’s, and contribute to each articles on Southern matters.” The rnmors that “Talleyrand’s Memoirs’ t were about to be published proves to be prema ture. It appears that by the terms of Talley rand's will, the memoirs cannot bo given to the world before 1888. Some passages hare, however, found their way before their time into publicity by the indiscretion of M. Amo dee Pichot, aud they bespeak a rare gift of foresight and almost prescieuc' in the distiu- gnished author. Lord Lyttoa preserves the characteristics that in early life made him the point cf the London satirists. As he grows older, however, the aids and artifices of dress and powder can not conceal his natural ugliness supplemented by the wrinkles of age. His face is described by one who recently met him as th«* of “an antediluvian hawk, with sharp beak, bony brow, aud cold twinkling eyes.” He still frequents the clubs, and is a great light in Tory circles. The Radical OJub of Boston met last week and discussed “The Relation of Jesus to the Present Age.” Professor Stowe was ou hand to vindicate orthodoxy and combat the here sies of the free thinkers. But, strange to re late, it was the orthodox Professor who shocked the sense of the meeting by the boldness of bis utterances. He expressed the opinion that it would have been “more to the glory of God if He had made fewer human beings and made them better.” Dr. Bartol, in replying, referred delicately to “people who thought sometimes that they could have given tho Lord some use ful hints.” The New York Observer adduces as a remarkable instance of useless labor, a book which was recently exhibited in a London shop window.

Mliackcrajr Snubbed by a New York How- cry Boy. Wendell Phillips, in his lecture on “Street Life iu Europe,” the other night, gave one lit tle instance of street life in America. Thack eray, on his visit here many years ago, was anxious to see a geniine Bowery Boy, aud a friend pointed ont to him ono ot those now defunct specimens leaning against a lamp post, with his hands stuck in his pockets, his “soap locks” care fully regulated over his eyebrow, aud his cigar tilted upright between his teeth. Thack eray was delighted, and determined to “in terview ’’ the monster. So he strode with his manly, sweeping gait, carrying that ever present benignancy of expression on his face, up to the “Boy” and remarked very inno- ceutly, “Sir, excuse me, but I would iike to go to Broadway.” The “Boy” returned the look with one equdlly as benignant, and re plied, “Well, why in h—1 don’t yon go?” A novel but simple device for the preven tion of frauds in voting has been suggested. A book of printed forms is to be provided, eaich being numbered, and a space being left for the name and address of the voter. A coupon correspondingly numbered is attached, and this is given to the voter when he registers, to be presented when he offers to vote. It would be impossible for repeaters to vote on another man’s name, and would make a clean and distinct record for every voter. It appears on its face entirely feasible and practicable. The sittings of the International Telegraphi Conference ,at Romt are, it is reported, likely to bo prolonged for seven or eight weeks, members include official representatives of every State in Europe, and also delegates from the principal submarine cables of the world.
