and ,a marriage with another. For
nbotit two years she has divided her
heart about equally between W. H.
Martin, of Crofleu, aud O. S. Stev
ens. The lovers were not on speaking
terms with each other. On Saturday
uioruiug Martin and Miss Henderson,
by the invitation of the young lady,

casionally as they traveled along.

teered his services, and she handed
him the following telegram to send:
Mr. O. 8. Stevens: Come to Spring

“TEB, SIR I'D SHOOT Hl*.’
Sixor eight congenial spirits sat
around a stove in a Grand River gro
cery the olhci aight, and after sever
al other subject* had been dicussed
some ane introduced that of panic*
In churches, theatres and balls. This
gave Mr. Hopewell a chance to re
mark : -
“Gentlemen,! just long to he there.”
“Whors?”
“Why, in one of those panics. Yes,
sir. I’d give anw twenty dollar bill
to he iu the thcatro one night when
there was an occasion for a panic.”
“Whv r
“Why. because, one cool, level head
ed man could slop the thing as easi
ly as you could end up that barrel of
flour.”
“Well, I dutino about that,” observ
ed one of the sitters. “There is some
thing awful iu the ery of fii-e, and
hear it when and where you may it
startle# and frighten*. What would
you do in a theatre iu ease of tire and
a rush?”
“I'd aland upon mv neat, pull a re
volver from my pocket, and about cut
that I’d shoot the flrst man who at
tempted to crawl or ruth. One cool
man weuld check the panic in ten
seconds.”
While the subject was being con
tinued the grocer withdrew to the
rear end of the atore.poured a little
powder on a board and gave three or
four men the wink. Directly there
was a bright flash, yell* of “tire!”
and •‘powder!” and every RlAp sprang
up and ruslied. Hopewell didn’t
spring up and talk of shooting.
On the contrary, he fell oyer a lot of
baskets piled between him and the
door, got up to plow his way over a
tut of brooms, and when he reached
the side walk he was on all-fonra,
white as a ghost and so frightened
that he never looked back until be

A horrible tragedy
A Han Assisted by Hi# Bona, Hangs
His Wlfo-A Lynching Probable.
The Courier Journal tells
oft horrible tragedy in Union coun
ty, Ky. A farmer named Mose Caton
living near Smith’s Mills, in Union
county and ills sons on last Saturday
hung Mose Caton’* wife, whom he
married four year# ago. She was a
widow before she married Caton,
and owned a small tract of land
which Cateu wanted her to deed to
him. She declined to do so, which
enraged him. On Saturday, with
hi* sons, he took her out and hung
her, after beating her terribly. They
put the corpse iu a box and took it
hi the house. The neighbors in
dressing the body for burial dis
covered bruises aud a broken neck.
They reported the matter to the
authorities, who had th* body dis
interred and ordered the arrests of
Caton and his tons. Twelve men
led by the county magistrate, weut
to Galon’s house. Ou arriving there
they met with resistance, whereupon
they fired upon tbom, shooting Mose
Caton iu the ankle and John Caton
through the luug. Caton’s daugh
ter, Annie, in attempting lo shield
her father by pasting between him
aud the posse was shot in the abdo
men. Squirt Lilly finally stopped
firing, and asked Caton to surrender,
lie would not, aud they told him
they would burn 'lie house down and
kill him. He then decided to give
up. Squire Lilly started oil" with

Caton, Joseph Caton. Tom Caton.
and Jotebh E. fritz—and landed
them aafelv iu jail at Morgauvillc.
John and Auttie are badly wounded.
An attempt was made to take them
away from the Squire and posse ami
lynch them while on their way to
Morgauvillc last night, which was
unsuccessful, but It is talkeil of iu
Union eouuty that the villains must
twiug //flight.
our rots.
Why it it that we so often sec the
boys ot a family dissipated and im
moral, and their sisters not so? On
ly bee*use the morals of tha girls are
scrupulously guarded, but of the hoy*
not. Fathers and mothers do not
allow their daughters to associst*
with woincu who use bid language
or behave indecently. They want
their daiigbtar* lo be ladies, and they
use the mean* to make them such.
Bilt they seem to think the hoys can
take care ot thomsoives. They are
not at all scrupulous as to the com
pany they keep. Th* girls must be
kept pure even in thought. It is
enough for the boy* to appear deceit'
in company of ladle*. They held
that a lady must bo pure in act,
word and thought at home as abroad,
in private as well as in pub
lic, but the highest standard held
fur a man i* one who doe*
not get drunk or swear or behave
rudely in ladles' company. They
would be horrified beyond measure
to know thsi their daughters bad
gotten into hsd company, and had
behaved as badly as the company
they were In, bnt th* same course ot
conduct by their sons excites but
little concern.
Can anybody tell us whv our
hoys should rot be kept as pure and
he brought up as decculy as our
girls? Arolhey not as easily corrupted
and are not the consequences just as
serious? I* there any sound philoso
phy in having a different moral stand
ard for the two sexes in the family?
Why, then, should not the boys be
as carefully guarded and strongly
armed against vice as the girls?
GEN. • KANT'S MALADY.
Gen. Grant’s physician in an inter
view wiih a iwportrr said: “We have
tried te keep tho knowledge of hie
true condition from the Genreal, be
cause be has had so many other
troubles to bear. I have all along
maintained that his trouble is from a
cancerons growth at the root of the
tongue. It was canned undoubtedly
by excess iii smoking. Every time
he speaks or breathes or eats this
is disturbed. It is difficult to treat
it for i hat reason. There have boon
times when this growth has been
checked, but it has never been arrett
ed and is steadily increasing. Theie
has been a considerable loss of tissue
of the sell palate. He takes nourish
ment every day in a liquid form. He
cannot eat solid food, because he has
lost all his teeth. They were extract
ed In the hope of easing tbo pain in
his face. This pain, although it re
sembles neuralgia, is not that pure
and simple, but is a reflection pain
caused by tbe cancer in the threat.
He has been suffering of late from
severe pain in the right ear and on
the topot the head. To ease this his
head is kept wrapped in hot flannels.
I cannot say how near the end is. He
may live months yet,as men suffering
from this disease have done, but 1 1 o
not think there is any hope that he
will ever recover.”
