The Curious Story of Pretty Jessie

Champion Bar and Knife works, of

The proprietors, knowing that

It ew the combination of the safe,
bad "Jones arrested on tho charge
of stealing the books. He has a
most estimable wifd, whom lie mar¬
ried in Lawrenceville, Ind., nnd the
et uple were boarding at a promi- '
m nt hotel hotel here. When Jones
was arrested he denied any knowl- , !
edge of the books. When he was
taken to jail and stripped and j |
Bf arched $450 in bills was found in
his , . sock. - After . ,, ...... jail
remaining m i
over night . , . Jones _ confessed .. that be ;
v as not only a defaulter, but had j
taken the books. I
He directed the proprietors to go j
to a certain catcli basin in this city j
t nd there the books could be found,
/ nd the rest, he said, were at the
} onse of Jessie D. Carroll, Spring !
( ity, Tenn. j
The book, torn from the covers,
were found and fished from the
reaver. Jones was sentenced to ten
j ears in the Ohio penitentiary. Be
fore the sentence, officers and mem
Vers of the firm went to the house ,
of this Carroll woman, to look for j
the rent of the books. Miss Carroll j j
■was not at home, but just where
Jones said the books wore they
were found. Steps were at cnee j
taken for the arrestor AlissC arroll
as an accessory to the crime. The
grand jury indicted her on two ne
counts—one the books, for grand and larceny for in |
taking one com- j
pounding the felony by assisting j
Frank B. Jones to steal the books.
It was on this indictment that the
girl had just been tried. Everyday
since the trial began, ten days ago,
the court room has been packed to
overflowing.
Tne evidence showed that Jessie .
Carrod was taken into the Jones
family ass domestic when a young

Every month Jones sent her a
package of money qy express, nev¬ I
er less than $100, nor never more ;
than $150, and every month she I
visited this city. Jones had put !
some Florida property in her name, j J
too. I was shown that two nights |
before the books were missing, Jes¬
sie arrived at the station in this city >
and was met by Jones. That night i j
a trunk was taken to Jones’ room !
aud the trunk and Jessie left on the I
midnight train It is the thery that I
the books were put into this trunk 1
and carried eff to Spring City, Ten- j

The confiding wife of Jones was
on the stand in the case. She nev- i

public the amount of Jones’ ern- |

COLLEGE LIFE FOR GIRLS.
When a girl enters a college she
finds herself in a small world, full
; of people, with all shades of elinr
jacier and disposition. No ties of
1 blood binds her to them; she knows
nothing of their various tastes, nor
; they of hers. Living closely togeth
j er opportunities for several weeks, of seeing she this has daily
ques
i tion rise before her fellows ami be
! fore herself, and she sees how it is,
j and must ever be, answered, if the
world is to jog on at all peaceably,
She sees how perfectly depond

and lastly, how the werld is really

virtues—charity. Thus she learns
self-sacrifice.

THE SAVING POWER OF WHISKEY,

General Sieedman, the well known
gallant officer in the late war was
f on d c f tell in" the following in
stance of what liquor would some- I
times do:
The nudit after the battle Q f!
Chickamauga, Steedman was riding
past a cabin by the roadside. A
woman at the fence said to him:—
“There is a dead Union officer in
my house.” Steedman dismounted
and went in to see the dead man.—
He found him lying in a comer!
covered with a blanket, where he
was left by the doctor. He pulled I
the covering off, stooped down, and
by the light of a candle recognized |
his old friend, Col. Durbin Ward.
He was cold and apparently life
less. Steedman felt his pulse, and
^lt a slight fluttering. Calling for
his orderly, who carried a canteen
of whiskey, ho raised the dying
man. anil putting the canteen to his
month, poured a liberal quantity of
the reviving fluid down his throat
The reaction came, tho doctor was j
sent for, and Colonel Ward was
saved. He never got done thanking

CHANCELLORS VILLE.
An indent or a Great Hattie of the
civil War.
Major Clifford Thompson, aid-de
camp on General Pleasonton , s stall,
iu the Century, gives the following
account of the tight at Hazel Grove:
“General Pleasanton rode from
gun to gun, directing the gunners
to aim low, not to get excited, and
to make every shot tell; the staff
officers, catching their cue from
him, did the same, and while at first
there had been considerable excite¬
ment and apprehension among us
it soon quieted down, and every
thought and action was directed to
getting the best service out of those
guns that they were capable of ren¬
dering. Recovering f:vn the dis¬
order into whieli Keenan s charge
hail thrown them, the enemy coaid
be seen forming in ltn ' of buttle in
the edge of the woods now in our
front. They were scarcely two hun¬
dred yards distant; yet such was
the gloom that they could not bo
clearly distinguished. Gen. Pleas¬
anton was about to giro the order
to lire, when a sergeant at one of
the guns said:
“General, aren’t those our troops?
1 see our colors in the line! This
was true, for where he pointed our
colors could bo seen—trophies pick¬
ed up on the field. Gen. Pleasan¬
ton turned to me and said:
“Mr. Thompson, ride out there
and see who those people are.’
‘For myself, 1 was not at all cu¬
rious about those people, being per¬
fectly willing to wait till they in¬
troduced themselves. Riding out
between our guns, 1 galloped out to
within 30 or 40 yards of them; all
along the line they cried out to me:
on; we are friends! It was
quite dark and I could not make
out the color of tho'r uniforms, but
1 could see three of our flags, and
these caused me to hesitate; 1 came

DISMISSED 5.1KE A SERVANT.
Tlie Manner In Which Marshall Jew¬
ell Left Grant’s Cabinet.
The Washington correspondent
the S*.. Louis Glohe-Demoarat is res
ponsihle for the t'cllowing: An arti
cle is going the rounds of the news¬
papers pretending to give the ctreum
stances of the retirement o? the late
Earshall Jewett from the Cabinet of
President Grant, and attributing the
motive of jealousy to tiie General.—
While it is doubtless true that Gen.
Grant saw, as others did, that Jew¬
ell was playing fast and loose with
every candidate for the Presidency,
and was giving Bristow as much en¬
couragement as he dare, the latter
letnained in the Cabinet much longer
than the former did.
Jewell committed harlkari. It was
Ins disposition to please every holy ail
that got him into trouble. He was
things to all men; one of the current
slang phrases, ‘too numerous,’ was
used originally by Mr. Jewell to des¬
cribe Sam Bard, a Georgia politician,
hut he could just as well, or better,
have applied it to himself. The imii
mediate cause Jof his dismissal from
the Cabinet was too letters he wrote,
one to Hannibal Hamlin nnd the
other to Samuel J. Randall, intended
U» lie confidential. It wnsjnst at the
time when the fast mail service was
begun, and the two houses of Cong*
ress were at a dead lock ever the am*
mint of money to be appropriated.—
Mr. Hamlin, who was chairman of
the Senate committee, at the con fern
enco presented a letter from Mr. Jew¬
ell, urging him to stand firm in sup¬
port of the sum the Senate had an#
propnaled, as the department could
not get along with s eeut less.
Much u> the astonishment of every
one present, Mr. Randall pulled out
another letter, also marked *Cou
tidcntiul,’ in which Mr. Jewell fissur¬
ed him that the amount upon which
the House was insisting was ample,
and that the demands of the Senate
were extravagant.
As soon as he recovered from his
amazement Mr. Hamlin started for
the White House, and laid both doc¬
uments before the President. Mr.
Jewell called upon Gen. Grant re¬
garding some ollicial matter, entirely
unwarned, and was as genial as a
summer’s day. When his business
was finished he arose to go, and tinn¬
ing to the President, asked if he
could do anything for hTm. The Pres¬
ident,, as composed ns ever, raised his
eyes nnd replied:
‘Yes. you may write your resigna¬
tion. You will find paper and pens
at the other end of t he table.*
‘May I ask, Mr. President, the rea¬
son for this unexpected demand?’
‘Certainly,’ tesponded the General.
‘It may be found in these two letters,’
and be handed the amazed minister
the two documents .Mr. Hamlin had
left.
Mr. Jewell did not offer a word of
explanation, but wrote Ins resigna¬
tion at once, and left the White House
never to enter it again while Grunt
was President.
I happened to be on my way up the
stairs ss Mr. Jewell was coming
down, and wondered why he did not
greet me in Ids usual hearty manner.
His ruddy face was pale and wore a
distressed expression.
‘You are not well toilduy, I re*
marked.
‘About as usual,’ he responded,
and passed on.
After 1 had finished my business
with the President, I asked the usual
formal question: ‘Is there any news
tO day?
‘Yes,’ ho replied, resigned.’ ‘the PoaUaaater
General has
‘For what reason?
‘lie will explaiiij’ said the Presi¬
dent, and then ’-ith a twinkle in his
eye, he adde/d: ‘Ml. Jewell had some
private business that requires his at¬
tention.’

TRAINING FOR WORK.
The idea of education is to train
the mind so that its action may be
rapid and logical, its functions sound
an j healthy and law abiding. Iu ac
complishin'g tnia, witlt the knowledge, storehouse useful be
comes tilled
and pleasurable. education
Women’s was, at one
ti ne, considered thorough when her
mind had been trained to comprehen 1
only the sentimental part of life; of
its practical part she need not know
anything. AH changed. In those days
this is
she was not expected to study what
her brothers delved into, to its hot*
loin. Her talents and aspirations
were hedged a )out bv conventional¬
ities, bounding her ambitious on all
sides. Now tnc willingness to give
her opportunities increases, ami edu*
eational institutions invite her pat¬
ronage. Universities and colleges pre
pare tier fora professional life; tech¬
nical aud business schools fit her for
business and the trades.
It is conscientous work the world
needs, and the more capable u woman
is, the more thoroughly she prepares
herself, the more desirable her work
will be, and the more extensive her
market, •
The world is fust finding out that
behind the gentleness and grace pos¬
sessed by woman, there are just as
large stores of Judgment, energy and
thoroughness, and it is fast utilizing
these resources. In business, suc¬
cess depends on the value of the w<>rk
one can do, aud it is beneath the dig¬
nity of a true woman to appeal for
patronage simply beeauso she is a
woman.
First prepare yourself for what you
intend to do, then patiently demand
it, ami then you will stand an equal
chance with those women who know
what they are going to do and how
to do it.
The higher a woman aspires the
more extensive should be hereduoa
tion iu that direction, if she expects
to begin that long siege to enter a
profession, the highest and best law
schools an. open to her; the facul¬
ties of our finest medical colleges w ill
receive her courteously; technical in¬
stitutions will fit her for lithograph -
ing, wood carving, architectural woik
aud designing for house decoration;
business colleges will teach her a
knowledge of accounts.
Au education gained in either
school will lay the foundation for an
active, independent life. Lean on
your owu oxer .ions and do not be a
drone, wishing for somebody else to
carry you over the rough places. Be
useful as welt as ornamental. Every
girl should receive such nn education
with the idea of utilizing it, and then,
if she ever accepts an oiler for a quiet
home partnership, it will make her an
active partner as well as a helping
one.
Wu have yet to h ern of a spirited,
well informed woman ever losing
anything in the estimation of the
world by the knowledge that renders
her independent,
REPARTEE.
Thackery, during his slay in Char¬
leston, met tlie famous Mrs. K.ug,
daughter of James L. Pettcgrow, a
great Unionist, who, on being quest¬
ioned after the secession of the State
as to wlmt he intended doing, re¬
plied: “Well, tlie State is going to
the devil, and I’m going with it.” —
Mrs. King was at that time one of the
leaders of society. Thackery re¬
marked, with rather mow, orusqe
nessUmV. on his introduc¬
tion to her. “1 understand, Mrs.
King, that you a>e very fast, - ’ where¬
upon tiie brilliant woman, whose
forte was repartee, replied. ‘Ah, Mr.
Thackery, we must not place too
much confidence in what we hear, for
I was informod that you were a gen¬
tleman.” It is said the proud Engl
lislunan never forgot tiie retort of the
high spirited Southern woman.
This retort is quite equal to that of
a bright woman of the West the other

not, I have, and the difference in their
methods is ve- v great. A hawk will
flrst pick all the feathers otf the bird
and then tear it to pieces as it is de«
voored. lie goes at it in a very dain¬
ty and systematic manner. Not so
with an owl. After killing a bird the
owl swallows it whole, feathers ami
ail. He then sits quietly, and in an
hour or so you wilt see the owl move
his neck about as if he was ti ving to
untangle a knot in it. Then he will
sort of bump up Ins back, lower his
head, and the naxt moment a ball of
feathers will roll out of his mouth.—
The ojieration shows that the owl di¬
vests the bird of its leathers after
swallowing it, while the hawk plucks
out every feather and quill before he
takes a bite. You get an owl and I’ll
agree to get a hawk, ai* l some day
we will give a performances—Atlanta

nity commits a wrong,
held not to be that of the person,
but of the paper which chronicles
the wrong. This is a wrong im¬
pression, and the sooner it is erad¬
icated the sooner will these people
have a correct idea of the business
of a newspaper. These people might
as well condemn the mirror be™
cause it does not reflect a thing of
beauty when they place their home¬
ly countenances before it They
might as well blame the doctor for
the disease which ho seeks to alle¬
viate and. cure. We admit that it
is not pleasant to have an ugly sore
exposed to view, but the sore is,
nevertheless, a fact, and, if it is not
treated, is likely to become larger
and more abhorrent. Wo do not
claim that it is the duty of the pa*
per to hunt up all the naughtiness
of a town and expose it to view, no*’
neither is it the duty or privilege
of an individual to expose his upr
al soro to view, and, when he do a
it, ha should receive a warning that
will make him more careful in the
future.
The people of the community
mako the nows, and that news is
pleasant or distasteful as they make
it. The newspaper records the
news, but it is not responsible for
it, whether it bo a social or terroa
tial earthquake When the people
get to fairly understand this, they
will be moro careful of their owu
actions and less critical of the news¬
papers.—Americas Recorder.

had nothing on which to live but
tho proceeds of tho sale of rum,
whereupon tlie good people raised
$5,000, tho vulueof the stock and
fixtures, and gave him tho money.
Then tho entire contents of the sa¬
loon were tumbled into tho Toia
bigbee river.
A good old lady, a widow, oh be¬

plied: “No; I don’t think be did.—
As near ns I can remember, every
one of his days was just as long as
other people’s.”
