—The uak.r I. .hot, ud the Home af
the Wagttlys Fired to Apprehend him.
In the fall of 1866. a citizen of Mar
shall oonnty, Tennessee, named John
Cheek, sold his ootton, and immediately
after returning homo from town was
standing in his yard when a drunken man
appeared. Withontmany words the maD
fired and the old gentleman fell, welter-
ing in his life’a blood. The mnrderer
fled, was punned and lodged in jail. The
person arrested for tho mnrdcr was a man
named Mitch. Pearson, who managed to
break jail soon after being incarcerated
and fled the oonntry. Although a reward
was offered for his arrest, he could not be
found, and since bis esoape the Sheriff of
Marshall county, O. W. Champ, accom
panied by another gentleman, have trav
eled through three or four States in
search of the murderer.
It being reported that bo was in Texas,
a requisition from Governor Brown, of
this State, wue obtained,bnt never served,
us Pearson could not be fonud. Not long
ago the sheriff, hearing Pearson was in
Deostnr county, again started with his
friend to arrest Pearson, and aftor riding
126 miles on horseback, were compelled
to return without their prisoner. Ascer
taining definitely that he was in the
neighborhood of Brownsport Furnace,
Decatur county, the sheriff, with John
Boane, again started to capture him, ar
riving last Friday night abont 12 o’elock
at the honse of a friend named Davis,
about seven miles from the above plaoe.
Davis informed them where Pearson was,
but told them not to attempt to arrest
him, as he was a desperate character.
The sheriff, however, said he was de
termined to apprehend Pearson, and
with Boane proceeded on their journey,
going one mile from the honse of Davis
to a ferry on the Tennessee river, across
which they were rowed by a man named
Chambers. From this point they bad to
mako the rest of the journey, seven
miles, on foot to the house of Pearson.
Owing to tho strange locality and the
darknees of the night, Champ and John
Boanelost their ronte, and returning to
the ferry, were oondnolei by Chambers
to within 60 yards of Pearson’s house, a
little log cabin situated in a retired
place. Forthwith the sheriff approached
the bnilding, and, rapping at the door,
aroused Pearson, whom he told that he
had a writ for his arrest. Without delay
Pearson opened tho door from the inside
and fired at the sheriff, who, siaggering
under the effect of the shot, os the bail
penetrated his shoulder, drew bis pistol,
and placing it in Pearson's face, pulled
the trigger,
Tne pistol missed fire, and three caps
were bursted with no effect, as the mur
derer slammed the door and barred it.
Boane ahoved the Sheriff aside and fired
tbrongb, but did not hit Pearson. Find
ing it useless to make another attempt,
Champ and Boane guarded the honae till
morning, when they were reinforced by
two men whom Davie sent from Browns
port Furnace. Pearson, seeing the party
armed with three double-barrellml
guns, did nut attempt to esoape. Find
ing that he could not beindnoed to oome
out, the party procured fifteen bundles
nr fodder and set Pea. son's house on
fire.
lhis had the desired effect, and no
sooner did the flames commence to wrap
the building than Pearson rushed out,
and, with uplifted hands, cried for mercy,
stating he had surrendered. The fire
was extinguished, and Pearson being se
curely fastened, was brought to this city
yesterday and placed in jail till the de
parture of the train. Dr. Buchanan
dressed Sheriff Champ's wound, and
although the pistol ball boa not been to-
moved, the injury ia not bod. The pris
oner was placed on the afternoon train
and started for j«i' at Lewisburg.

Its Origin—A~Ekautiral Story,
Thero was once a beautiful princess
who had a great fondness for almonds,
and ate them constantly, bat nothing
wonld induce her to marry, and in order
to rid herself of her suitors, of whom
there were a great number, she invented
the following device : To every priDce
who sought her hand, she presented the
half of a double almond, while she ate
the other half, and said: ‘ If yonr lord-
ship can succeed in getting me to take
anything from yonr hand before Isay
the word ‘I remember,' then I am ready
to become yonr bride, llut if, on the
contrary, you receive anything from me,
without thinking to speak these words,
then yon mast agree to have your hair
shaven entirely off your head aud leave
the kingdom.”
This, however, was an artful stratagem,
for, according to the court custom, no
one dated to hand anything directly to
the princess, but first to tho court lady,
who then offered it to her. But if, on
the other hand, tbe princess should de
sire to give or take anything—who could
refase her ? Bo it was useless for her
suitors to mako the trial, for when they
seemed likely to be successful, aud had
diverted the princess so that she was
about to take something from them,
the court lady always stepped between,
and spoiled tne best laid plan.
When tho princess wished to dispose
of one of them, she would appear so
charming and encouraging to him, that
he would be entirely facsiuated, and when
he sat at her feet, overcome with joy,
then she would seize upon anything near
her, as though by aocideut: "Take this
oh a remembrance of me,” aud when he
had it in his hands, before he oould think
or speak the necessary words, there would
spring ont at him, from it, perhaps a frog
or a hornet, or a bat, and so startle him
that he would forget tho words. Then,
upon the spot, he was shaven, and away
with him. This went on for seme years,
and in all the palaces of tho other king
doms the priuccss wore wigs. Thus it
cumo to be the custom from (hat timo.
Finally it happened that a foreign
prince came upon some peculiar business,
and by accident saw tho aluiond princess.
Ho thought her very beautiful, and at
once perceived tho stratagem. A friendly
little gray mau had given him an apple
that once a year ho was privileged to
smell, and then thero came in his miud a
very wise idea, and he had become much
renowned on account of his deep wisdom.
Now, it was exactly time for him to make
nse of his applo. Bo, with the scent
from it came this warning.
"If thou wouldst win in the game of
giving and taking, under no circum
stances must thou either give or take
anything."
Bo he had his hands bonnd in his belt,
and went with its marshal to the palace,
and asked to be allowed to eat his almond.
The prinoees was secretly much pleased
with him, and immediately banded him
an almond, which his marshal took and
placed in his mootn. The prinoees in
quired what Ibis meant, and, moreover,
why he constantly carried his hands in
hl xi% ir ir l ®uuu w.o court tne can-
tom was even more strongly enforced
than at here, and he dared not give or
take anything with his hands, at the
most, with only his head and feet. Then
the princess laughed aud said:
"In this case we will never be able to
have our little game together.”
He sighed and answered:
"Not unless you will be pleased to take
something from my boots.”
"That oan never happen 1” exclaimed
the whole court.
Why have you como hither ?” asked
the princess angrily, "wbeu you have
such stupid customers ?”
'Because you are bo ocautifnl;” replied
tho prince. "And if I cannot win you I
may at least have the pleasure of Bceiug
you.” . .
'On the other hand, I have no similar
gratification,’ said she.
uimnmou, auiu bug.
B > the prince remained at tho palace,
and he pleased her more and more, but
when the humor seized her, she tried in
every manner to persuade him to take bis
hands from his girale. and receive some
thing from her. She also entertained
him charmingly, and frequently offered
him flowers, bonbons and trinkets, and
finally her bracelet, but not one did be
torget and stretch ont his hand to take
them, lor the pressure of the girdle re
minded him in time. Bo lie would nod
to his marshal, and he receiving tin in,
saying, 4 We remomber.’
Then the priucesa would become im
patient and would exclaim: ‘My hand-
tereliief has fallen ! Can your lordship
pick it up for me?’ Whereupon the
prince would fasten his spur into it, and
wave it carelessly, while the priucess
would have to bend aud remove it from
bis foot, angrily saying: "I remomber.
Thus a year passed awny, aud the
princess said to herself:
' This cannot remain so. It mubt be
settled in one way or tho other.’
Bhosaid to the prince:
*1 have one of tho finest gardens in
tne world. I will show your lordships
over it to-day.'
Tho prince smelt of his apple, and as
they entered tho garden, said:
"It is very oeautiful here, ana in order
that we may walk near each other in
peace, and not to be disturbed by the
desire to try our game, I beg you my
lady, that for this one hour you will take
upon you the custom of my court, and
let your bands also be fastened. Then
we will be safe from each other’s art, and
thero will be nothiug lo annoy us. ’
The priuccss did not feel very fate
about tma arrangement, but he begged
so strongly that she could not refnso him
this small favor. Bo they went on alone
together, with their hands fastened in
their girdles. The birds sang, the sun
shone warmly, and from the trees tne
red cherries hung so low that they brush-
od their cheeks as they passed. The
princess saw them and exclaimed.

•WI- WIFE'S mmiDAL TOPE.
The Beat Wnjr to Nssage a Wife-Ad
vice to Yonag Wen.
When I married my second wife, she
was dreadful set about going off on a
biidal tour. I told her she had better
wait six months or a year and I’d go with
her, and sho said she had ratbor go
alone—when a woman is traveling, a man
is an oat-and-oat humbug. Bo I gave
nor seventy-five cents, and told hor to go
and have a good time. I never begrudge
money when my wife’s happiness is con
cerned. My first wife never could com
plain of not going anywhere, for I am
dreadful fiero-3 to go off on a good time
myself. I don’t pretend to say how
many times I took her out to seo the
sighis; and thero was no end to the free
lecrures I let her go to. The neighbors
used to say- "It beats all how the Skin
ners do go!”
When the circus was in Sknnkville,
the manager gave my wife a complimen
tary ticket. I not only sold the ticket
for my wife, but gave her half the money.
I don’t boast of it; but only mention it
to show how much I thought of her hap
piness.
I don’t think any man ought to get
married until ho cau consider his wife’s
happiness only secoud to his own. John
Wise, a neighbor of mine, did thusly,
and when I got married I concluded to
do likewise.
But the plan didn’t work in the case
of my second wife. No—I should say
not. I broached the subject kindly.
"Matilda,” said I, "1 suppose you are
aware that I am now your lord and mas
ter?”
"Not much you ain’t,” said she.
" Mr. Bkinner,” said I, "you are fear-
full v disorganized. You are cranky.”
And I brandished my new sixty cent
umbrella wildly around her.
She took the umbrella away from mo
and locked me up in the clothotpress.
I am quick to draw an inference. I
drew here that I was not a success as a
reorganizer of female women.
After this, I changed my tactics. I
let her havs her own way; and the plau
from the first worked like a charm. It
is the best way of managing a wife that
I know of.
Of oourso this is between you and me.
It’s u secret worth knowing.
So, when my wife said she was bound
to go off on a bridal tour anyhow, I cor
dially assented.
‘Go, Matilda,” said I, "and stay as
long as you want to, aud then if you leul
as though you would like to stay a little
longer, Btay, my dear.”
She told mo to stop talking, and go up
stairs and get her red flannel night-oap,
and that bag of pennyroyal for her aunt
Abigail. My wife is a smart woman. She
wua a Baxter—and the Bixters are a
smart family, indeed. Her mother, who
is going on eighty, can fry more flap-
jacks now, than half of those primp, up
town girls wno rattle on the piano, or
walk the streets with their furbelows and
fixings, pretending to get mad if a young
chap looks at them very hard, bat getting
mad in earnest if you t&ko no notice of
them • —,
whou I was young, aud the fellows are
worse still. Wbeu I went courting, for
instance, I never thought of staying till
after ten o’clock, and only twice a week.
Now they go seven nights iu a week, an t
cry because thero ain’t eight. Then
they write touching notes to euch other
during the day—"Dour George : Do you
love me as much as you did ot a quarter
to twelve last night ? bay you do, dear
est, and it wiil give mo courage to go
down and tackle gtbem cold beaus, loft
over from yestt rduy.”
Let them get together and court, U
they like it—and I think they do. I was
forty-seven when 1 courted my second
wife, but it seemed just as nice to sit on
a little cricket at her feet, and let her
smooth my hair, us it did thirty years
ago.
As I said before, my wife was a smart
womau; but she couldn’t be anything else
and oe a Baxter. titie used to give lec
tures on woman’s righto, aud in one plaoe
where she lectured, a big college ooulerred
the title o L. L. D. upon her. But
she wouldn’t take it. " No, gentlemen,
•aid she, "give it to tho poor.” Bhe was
ala ays just so charitable. She save her
boys permission to go barefooted all win
ter, aud insisted on it somuohin her kind
way that the boys couldn’t refuse.
Sue fairly dotes upon my children, and
_ re seen her many a time go for their
trowsers’ pockets after they had gone to
sleep, and take out their pennies, aud
put them iu her bureau drawer—!or fear
they might lose them.

bridal tour; nut the fact is I nover could
find out much about it myself. I believe
she had a good time. She came back

four hours that sho had gained strength

It wns a cold, dismal evening in No

been teen wending tbeir way Along the
streets of a large manufacturing town.
Blowly they proceeded, with dejected
countenances, not exchanging a word
until the one we shall call Umith balled
before a neat little bouse, aud nnlatebod
tho gate. Then there was such a look of
otter misery and despair gloaming from
bis eyes that bis companion said,—
“ We must trust in God, Smith.”
Tho words were unheeded, and bis com
panion passed on, while Smith entered
tho horn.).
A tall, dark woman, wus flitting abont

“ You arc late to-night”
“ Yes,” he said, gloomily.
And going to tho ciadle betook up the
six-wecks’-nld baby, and Borrowfolly
pressed it to bia heart.
'Idowish von would put that child
down, and get ready for supper!” ex
claimed the wife, alter enduring hie
gloominess for some time iu silence.
He slowly obeyed, and tben seated
hirasels at the table, with a deep sigb.
What in the world is the matter with
you to-night?” she exclaimed, as she sat
down opposite I im.
His voice trumbled, as he replied,—
‘•I suppose yon wight as well know

'There!” exclaimed his wife, quickly
pushing back her chair. “Just what I
might have expected I I'd like to know
what we are going to do now!. Win...

This seemed to encourage his wife to go
on, for she uttered words more and more

companion in labor, entered hia home
with a very sad countenance. But, be

a loving pair of arms were thrown
aiound hia neck, aud a puir of sweet lips
pressed to bis.
Us returned the salutation sadly, and
then asked after tho buby.
“She is sleeping sweetly in her cradle.
She has been a perfect little darling to

brain for some natation of the problem
how that rent is to be paid. The lodger
had paid his money monthly; but that
waa not enongli to meet the sum, if he
had it, aud of caoreo his wife had spent
that as fast as sho had received it, as it
wns an every duy wonder to James how
Mary managed bo well.
With feelings of deep despair, be en
tered the bouse. Tho tablo was spread
with bis samo favorite dishes. There
was the short-cake and toast, flunked with
a lump of golden butter, & plato of bonej
and a doep dish of roasted applas, io be
served with sugar aud cream, while at
tho wife’s plate sut tho steaming tea-pot.
As James took it all in a glanoe, he
greatly wondered at the frugal vet com
fortable wav of living. How his wife
had been able to make the small amount
of money last so loug was a mystery to
him. James was sick at heart, but re
fused to tell his dutiful wife the cause of
is depression. The truth must be mode
known at last, und great tears coursed
their way dowu tho strong m&u’s checks

row they would bo turned from their
home, to go he know cot whither, as ho
had not a dollar iu bis pocket to secure
them a room elsewhere.
"Is that it?” srid his wife, in soft, rip
pling tones. Ami tripping up stairs she
soon returned with two teu-dollar bills in
her baud,
Where did you got them?” he cx-
olaimcd eagerly, turning them over nnd
over in his hand, as if to ascertain
whether they wore really genuine or not
"I earned thorn,” said his wife, gaily.

"God bo praised lor giving mo such a

pressing his wife and child closely to
his bosom said—
Her children rise up, and oall hor

Twenty years have paused, and James

lUiner, of Austria. This lady died—re-
speoted aud loved by the people—on the
12th of January, 1866, leaving four chil
dren. Prinoe Humbert, her second obild,
and first son, was born on the 14th ol
March, in the year 1844, He is a gallant
soldier, and reveres tho memory of his
mother,
Hiuoe that period ibo King ot Italy has
pledged himself in ma'riage—morgsnu-
tic, it is alleged—to the Couutosi Msri-
fluri, a lady who lias been promoted oy
bis own favor. A proposal has been put
forth just lately at the Italian Court to
reooguize publicly and solemnly the mar-
riagu of Klug Victor Emmauuel with the
Countess, iu whioh case she will become
Queen of Italy. Biguori Ilattszzi and
Mouabrca were favorable to tho proposal,
but it is opposed by Prince Humbert and
membersof 'hegovernment. If itsnonli
lie carried out a change of Ministers will
no don lit occur iu Home, with a very eon-
sulci auto amount of family scandal in the
royal mauaiuu.
