Cuthbert Leader: J. L. Carter, who lives
some four miles this side of Benevolence,
was in town Saturday and told us of a cu
riosity he found on hi- place a short time
since. Having been planting cotton in one
of his field?, he discovered what he at first
thought as a sack of cott in seed which
had been left by the hands under the shade
of a green oak, but upon investigation
found it to be a growth of some kind pro
truding from tbe trunk of the tree, about a
foot or more from the ground. Mr. Carter
thinks it must have grown with mushroom
rapidity, as being daily in tbe field he would
hardly failel to observe it. He says, how
ever, instead of being brittle like things of
of quick growth, it is very tough, and
would eas ly be inistakou for a large sized
meal sack.
Four miles from White Plains, in Greene
county, Tuesday, Joe Grimes (col red)
killed Bill Williams (colored) with a hoe.
Tbs men were farm hands ou the planta
tion of H&muel Leary. At no< n when the
hauds knocked of for dinuer. Williams went
to a tree near by and lay down. In a few
minutes he was sound asleep. Grimes, who
noticed how serenely he was sleeping, began
to throw small rocks at him. He succeeded
in waking \v illiams up,who, iu good humor,
asked him to stop. But Grimes continued,
and finally a stone struck Williams in
tho face. Williams jumped up, and
taking the small end of a hoe handle,
struck Grimes a sharp blow over the head.
The blow did not stagger Grimes, but it
made him mad. He seized another hoe and
made at Williams, who, our informant tells
us, was not mad nor excited. He grasped
Grimes’ arm aud held him off, at the same
time cautioning him to be quiet and behave
him-elf. For several moments they re
mained iu this position, and Williams,
thinking Grimes was over his anger, re
leased him, saying: “Put down your hoe,
aud stop ail this foolishness.” The words
were no sooner out of his mouth and Grimes
had scarcely been released, wuen he raised
the hoe and brought it down with
terrible force upon Williams’ liend. Will
iams sankpo the ground, his skull laid open
and his brains oozing out. Th'* hands who
were in other parts of the field had wlt
nessc t the scuffle, but never dreamed of
anything serious until they saw Grimes
strike and Williams fall. Thay rushed to
the place, and as they did so Grimes made
off. Wheu the hands reached Williams he
sva9 barely alive, and In a few miuu os was
dead. He could not speak when thev came
up. In the excitement Grimes was forgot
ten, and therefore inado good bis escape.

NAPOLEON AND LITTLE "BETSEE."
A Child’s Recollections of the Great
French Emperor in Exile.
from the Manchester Times.
Tbe recent decision of the English gov
ernment to withdraw the garrison of
imperial troops stationed for so many years
on the lonely and threatening rock of St.
Helena awakens a thousand recollections.
Many a heart sank at the aspect of the
abrupt, almost perpendicular, sides of this
huge mass, when, early in the century,
a British man-of-war approached tho island,
bearing on board the unhuppy Napoleon
Bonaparte. Seventy days of almost unen
durable life on the Northumberland ended
by t ne night, passed under military guard,
in a hostelry in St. Helena. The hateful
prison of Lougwood being as yet unpre
pared for its guest, the authorities selected
the house of Mr. Balcomle.a merchant,as a
temporary resting place for the unfortunate
prisoner of war, and he went thither the
next day.
Mr. Halcombe had a charming wife and a
young family. One young daughter, about
13 years of age at the time, bus recorded
her impressions of the Emperor Napoleon
iu a deeply interesting narrative. For
nearly two months this sprighty girl was
daily in the society of that most uchappy
exile, and saw him through a different
medium from that in which he had ever
had the opportunity of presenting
himself to English eyes; though Tal
ma, and other stars of the French
stage—not forgetting Mile. Georges, the
actress wi o begged permission to share and
lighten his captivity—knew bis gaiety aud
his artistic nature. Mr. Baloombe, holding
the appointment of purveyor to the em
peror, was in communication with hitn, not
only during the stay at the Briars, but in
the subsequent terrible captivity at Long
wood; ami the young girl who recounts her
impressions of Napoleon was without fear
of self-consciousness in her intercourse with
him.
All preconceived notions of the terrible
“Bonv” gave way before the playful aud
friendly manifestations shown bv Napoleou
to “Mile. Betsee,” as he called her. The
oolduess of bis stern, pale features soon
melted into fascinating smiles, and his
games of play with the ohild quickly put
her quite at her case. Onoe, it is true, find
ing her at lessons, he asked a ques
tion as to the capitals of Europe.
“And what is tho capital of
Russia?” he asked. “Petersburg now,
but Moscow formerly,” said the little girl;
when, with a voice of thunder and fiery
eyes, Napoleon asked who had burned Mos
oow. This ghastly and frightful remem
brance no doubt scorched his very heart,
and quickly changed the courteous’gentle
man into an image of unbounded terror in
the eyes of his youthful companion. But,
ns a rule, Napoleon would show an almost
boyish mirth, not untnlxed with a tinge of
malice.
A little friend of "Mademoiselle Betsee”
came to the Briars, and haviDg heard terri
ble stories of “Bony,” clung in agony to
“Betses” when the emperor came out oa the
lawn. Seesng this, Napoleon walked up to
her, brushed his hair up with hi3 hands,
shook his head, made horrible faces, and
gave a regular howl, after the Cossack
manner. Having frightened the child al
most into hys'erics, the emperor began to
laugh violently.
The adventurous "Mees Betsee,” in re
venge for s me teasing trioks of the em
peror, kept him at bay, on one occasion, in
a corner of the drawing-room at the Briars,
by flourishing over his head a magnificent
saber, which he had shown her as a curios
ity. The spirited child made repeated passes
at her illustrious victim, aud entreated him
to sav bis prayers, as she meant
to kill him. Her cries of
exultation brought her elder sister
to the spot, and, indeod, "Mees Belsee’s"
arm was dropping from sheer exhaustion,
and she soon desisted. The grand chamber
lain also came to the rescue, his parchment
visage glowing with indignation at the in
sult offered to his master. Napoleon, how
ever, only pinched tli9 ear of the young
rebel, and laughed good-humoredly.
At the whist table that evening he re
venged himself on his you hfui tormentor
by revoking, and finally [mixing the cards
together to prevent discovery. On being
I accused of this by "Miss B-tsee,” he
! adroitly ran off with her new frock, which
I lay on the sofa, a white frock with
! rosebuds, intended to Le worn at
Sir George Cockburn’s ball. It
was Napoleon himself who had asked
leave of Mr. Balcombe for the little girl to
attend the bail, and be now ran
off with her dress, and locked himself in his
own apartments. "Mees Betsee” remon
strated outside the closed door, both iu
Kuglish and French, but was answered only
by laughter from within, aud it was not
i until the very day of the ball that the em
peror restored tile dress. Huoh auiusem-u'.s
I as these hid for a few hours the galling
sense of surveillance which weighed on the
mind of the unsubdued captive.
• The fire s ill burned nuquenched In those
veins of Napoleon’s. He who would play
at blind mau’s buff with the children at the
Briars and tease "Me -s Betsee” to the point
of neepiug, had his own terrible hours of
gloom and depress!- n. It must have been
strange for Mrs. Balcombe to hear him re
gretting his two wives amt equally—one as
“Grace, ’ the other as “Jnuooeuce,”

FROM ThE J.iWd OF DEATH.
Heroic Fescue of u Eoy Who Wes
Seized by a Huge Alligator.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Colon, April 25.—Jamaica papers of re
cent date give the following alligator story:
Friday afternoon, April 10, while tbe
schooner Bisters, was lying in Cow Bay,
Jamaica, Capt. Greenwood and a portion
of the ciew went on s ore for the purtiose
of having a bath in a lake well known as
Pond Mouth. In tho party wore two little
boys, named George Thomas and John
Greenwood, the latter a son of
the captain. They had been in
the water about minutes when the
captain, who was some distance away from
the boys, heard a scream, nnd on looking
saw the boy Thomas in the mouth of a huge
alligator, which was swimming away with
him before their eyes, aud all of them pow
erless to prevent it. Of course they were
very much frightened as well as wild with
rage at the audacity of the brute.
Capt. Greenwood was determined to
re-cue the hoy, even at the cost of
his own life, and he immediately rusned into
the water after the alligator, but as
soon as he had got ten yards nearer the
brute went under, carrying the boy with
him. A few minutes later the boy’s bead
appeared above the surfuce of the water,
and Capt. Greenwood, with the aid of one
of his men, succeeded in resouing him. The
boy was bleeding from a wound on the left
arin, and he was quite exhausted. He was
taken on board of the vessel, where restora
tives were administered and the wound
dressed with carbolic acid and laudanum
until the vessel’s arrival in Kingston, when
he was sent to the public hospi
tal. Immediately after the boy had
efficiently recovered from his fright,
Capt. Greenwood went on shore with hi..-
oog, which he tied against a tree. As soon
as the dog c< rumenced to howl the alligator
appeared, aud Capt. Gieenwood, taking
steady aim, succeeded in lodging a bullet iu
the bead of tbe monster, killing bim in
stantly, amid the shouts of the crew. It
was at this very place that a favorite dog
belonging to Capt. Greenwood was carried
away by an ai.igator not long ago. The
boy is still undergoing treatment in the
public hospital, und is in a fair way toward
recovery.
