( 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 .

When a girl enters a college she finds herself in a small world, full ; of people, with all shades of elinr jacier and disposition.

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 to a halt, peering into the darkness t u ma ke sure, when a bullet wbis tied by me, and then came the rebel y 0 ]h The line charged up the hill towards our guus, and 1 led it! i.y* j nj , j oWU upon my horse's neck, 1 gave him the spur, and the yells of the Johnnies behind, further stim ulated him so that we got over the ground pretty lively.

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.’ THE 150V WAS SAFE.

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 ^ tactless Itulv came eagerly up to tu>r and said: “Mv dear, allow me to introduce Mr. Jones to yoc.

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.

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.
