Mrs. Giddings was alone with her two children, s girl of 14 and a boy of XI, and, alarmed at the appearance of the man, looked the back door and tried to escape by the front do >r. But the man met them there and struck at them with the gun. He followed np the at*ck, swinging the enn savagely, but was stopped by the boy, who got his father’s rifle and sent a ball through the man’s leg. At this he made off, and lay down on the beach, where he remained so long that Mrs. Giddings and the children went down to hi and found him just breathing his last.

Mining For a Lost Babe. A farmer named Detwiler, who lives three miles from Oakdale. Neb., had occasion Saturday to draw out the wooden tubing from a deep bored well en his place, and had drawn out 70 feet of it, tearing an unknown number of feet of tubing set in the well. This left a hole about a foot in diame ter. Last Saturday forenoon a 3 year old boy of the family was missed, and a search being made for him, his hot was fonnd near the hole. The mother called down, and her child, from an im mense depth finally replied. Appeals for help were at once sent to Oakdale and Neligb, and though ail possible haste was made, all the appliances for sink ing a shaft down alongside the bored hole could not be got on to the ground and the work of dig ging begun until late in the after noon of Saturday. Slenson and Straiten, well borers and diggers from Oakdale, a firm of men in the same line of business from Neliglif undertook the job. and there was no lack ol helping hands. But as the supply of air down in this deep, narrow hole might be in sufficient to supply the child, an iron tube was sank down ami a hand bellows was inserted.tiirough which fresh air was constantly pumped dawn during the forty hours while digging was going on. From time to time the child’s cries could lie heaid, and often during the Saturday afternoon it called for “mamma” and for food and water. The process of digging went slowly on during Saturday night on account of lack of light, and rapid diggers had at timea to give place to slow workers. All this lime the fath er and mother were enduring un told torture of mind, the former sometimes raving, and gray hairs almost momentarily increasing on the heads of the distracted parents. Atiout 3 o'clock the child seemed to lose all patience, and filled hit narrow, circular tomb with load crying. It was a hard matter for strong men to endure the extremely dts tressing condition of affairs with anything like composure. All the lime, day and night, crowds of men, women and children were standing around with faces white with horror, and the hearts of the men digging in the shaft, and those on the windlass on lop, were bleeding at the cries of the help less babe lielow. During all of Saturday and Sunday night per haps half of the people who knew of the affair slept Rule or none. Sunday morning an nnlortnnate< experiment was made in the way of grappling for the child with a wormer. It is supposed that the wormer caught on to the tubing below and raised it a little, when ita bold released, and something was heard to drop. Then there waa a new distress in the minds of the waiting crowd lest the wormer had caught and lacerated the flesh of the child, or had in flicted brnises on it, for its voice thereafter was less often heard and much weaker. As the dig ger* down in the shaft went deep er they heard the child moaning in pain. By Sunday noon they had dig to a depth of about fifty feci, and HPHI tbe child yet twenty two feet at least below them. By nightfall the work was necessarily going on slower, fu~ more lime was be ing consumed in hanling up the dirt. Besides, the most delicate and dangerous part of the job was uow nt hand, and Will Stcnson and James Strallen, of Oakdale, both experienced men in under ground operations, were sent down, and they remained there from 11 o’clock Sunday night until 9 o’clock Monday morning, when the awful scene was ended. Stcnson, as a miner and well digger, bad many narrow escapes in Ins lifetime, and as lie was now down sixty-five feet in a partially dry shaft, with treacherous walls •f earth above and around him, bis situation was perilous, for no tune could be spared to construct and sink down wooden curbing in the shnft. Soon after Stcnson and Strallen went dawn into the shaft. At IX o’clock on Sunday night they struck loose sand and gravel. A few of the impatient •rowd above urged Slenson to dig down through the gravel the re maining 7 feet, supposed to be yet intervening between him and the child, bnt be withstood them and began to tunnel in towards the horror of their situation, worked and worked, and the sun rose yet on Monday morning with these men banding out dirt by handfuls —practically burned ashes, and with no hand bat that of God to trust to ever bring them and the ctdld to the earth's surface again. Finally, by the most delicate ma nipulations, Stcnson was st last able to grasp the child and let himself and his precious burden into the main shaft. At 9:20 o'clock Monday morn ing, alter the child had been in the well forty eight hours about. Stcnson was hauled up to the lop of the shaft with the child in his arms. A hasty examination of the child was made, when it was found not only to be alive, but bright of eye and conscious, thn’ weak. Apparently it bad slid down the circular hole, ru n-pfii-t but was found with its rump wedged into the top of the circu lar tubing set in the hole, its fee: a little above its head, and its hands extended some six or eight inches above its head. When tbe child was brought up to the surface the scene was inde scribable. Stcnson staggered, unnerved and exhausted, but many of the 200 people there sank circular hole right on top of this ! lo tbe ground prostrated by ram- Labor and the U. 0. P. The lore ol the Republican par ty, and especially of the Republi can protectionists, for the work ingman. passclh Ilia love ot wo man. The entire opposition to (he Mills hill—so far ss the lobby is concerned—comes from Repub- was no law to prevent it. Tbe contracts were made nmler an ex press statute—a statute passed by a Republican congress—eon ferring tbe power. It conferred something more than the mere power to make a contract with those proposing emigration lo the United Slates. It allowed the in iican protectionists, who cannot bear to think of any injury to the tending emigrant to pledge a workingman. They are mostly year’s wages in repayment of the wagepayrrs; but they shuildei dis- expenses ol his emigration, ad interestedly nt the bare thought j vanced by the American employ- of sny legislation that will permit j er; in addition to pledge any land gravel bed so he could haves firm clay roof ts his tunnel. He was then about eight feet to one side of the circular hole. He tunneled in a few feet and then dug another shaft closer to thy circular hole, down lo where he thought the child might tie lodg ed. His object was to strike a spot underneath the apot where the child was lodged, for it would hare been fatal to bare disturbed the earth wall of tbe circular hele above tbe child. Finally he tun neled toward the circular, and tapping it waa surprised to find himself yet above tbe child. He was able then to reach down and tie a rope around the feet of the shibl, and by the same device hold him secure there, but be dared not yet risk an attempt to draw him up for fear lie might break down the crumbling wails of the hole and of the tunnel, and thus bury himself and tbe child alive. So he sank another and second small shaft down a few feet yet farther until he knew he was be low tbe child. Undir these cir cumstances tbe work bad to be slow. Stenson worked like a mole with trenches of sand all around him, passing dirt out by handfuls lo Strallen in tbe first small shaft. Sheriff El wood, who was out in the main shaft. All this time Stenson borrowed like a mole, and literally working like a mole through so treacherous an element, could bear tbe child moaning faintly.. Whenever a loose board rattled overhead he could fee! the shock, and hn did not know bnt the wall* o! the shaft were coming In on him, and whenever tbe furioea wind, which wae then (Monday morning) rag ing over tbe earth's surface, rat tion. There were no noisy dem onstrations; the hearts of tbe crowd of lookers-on were too full for utterance. them lo reduce wages. They know, of course, that even if tin- Mills bill pusses, they can still pay tbe same wages they now pay —those magnificent wages which ■lake the w«i kingmsn so content ed with his lot, and prevent his indulgence in strikes and other labor disturbances. They are afraid, however, that if the tariff is reduced they may be tempted to reduce the wages of their em ployes; and against the possibility of subjection to such a temptation they are fighting with a zeal and persistence which coaid scarcely be excelled if they were selfishly at work for the retention of their light to continue squeezing the community for enormous profits. In congress it is the same. Ev ery Republican who has sjioken thus far on the tariff from Boaner ges Burrows down has spoken in the interest of the workingmen Labor omaia vincit, which may be Although all the parties who freely translated, labor has van helped so faithfully are worthy ofiquished every one of them, unstinted praise, yet under tie. It is a pity to throw doubt upon circumstances, it is natural that ifie unselfishness of this nnaniim Slenson, especially, and his part ners in the depths of what might have been their tomb, should now lie the heroes of the hour.

Ordinary Bob Young is in a po sition to hare a heap of fun some times. However, he takes a se rious view of his responsibilities as Judge of Probate, and the fun comes in only when he has fonnd his way oat of a perplexity. The other day (Friday), a darky from Mountville district applied to him for a marriage license. As he made a satisfactory showing of his right to slip his woolly head into the matrimonial noose, tbe paper was duly handed over and the officer was richer by $1.75. On Sundsy morning the same negro made his appearance and sought out the Judge with a doleful tale of disaster and trouble. His trunk and Strallen doing the same to 1 j, g( j been broken open and the in dispensable permit of the law ab stracted! He wanted another right away. Here was a dilemma. The Ordinary could find no prece dents to justify him in complying with tbe request of the distressed would be benedict. He at first got tbe idea that a smart rival bad got the paper and would nse it. After parleying with tbe disap pointed lover some time, he start ed off to Sunday school.

His torically the Republican and the Republican protectionist have not been the friends of labor. Far from it. One of the measures which workingmen justly regard as most favorable to their cause, is the law prohibiting the importation of la borers under contract to work here in competition of native Is bor. It is a measure which was rendered necessary by the grasp ing disposition of the protected monopolists. Not satisfied with ths license which the tariff gave them to impose a tax upon all tbe consumers of the land, working men included, they were constant ly bringing in the pauper labor ol Europe lo reduce, liy competition, the wages of the burdened Ameri can workingmen. Well knowing that the foreign workman would, in the natural course of things, insist upon the “going rate ’ of wages as soon as he liecnme famil iar with the country and the con ditions of labor here, they fore stalled snch action on h*s part by contracling with him for a low rate of wages before bis coming. It was to do away with thin prac lice, so injurious to the American workingman, that the law referred to was passed; and we invite the attention of workingmen lo the fact that it was a Democratic measure, passed by a Democratic congress. Another thing should be borne in mind. Tbe condition of things which was terminated by ibis measure of justice to labor was not due to mere Republican neg lect. It was not a case of monop olisls making contracts fur pan|wr i loitiga labor simply because there lie might acquire as a homestead or otherwise for the same purpose. And the Republican congress which passed this act put its own interpretation on it by providing very carefully that nothing in it should be “deemed to authorize any contract contravening the constitution of the United Slates or creating in any wav the rela tion of slavery or servitude” They had lo put that in because the law wiicn they came to read it over sounded so much like a per mit to buy slaves. And no won der; even with Che saving clause it aln-a3's bad that sound until a Democratic congress repealed it and did away with the contract business altogether. In the light of a passage like ibis from the political bistory of tbe country, the pretense of the g. a. p. that it is the friend of labor stands revealed in all its hideous hypocrisy.—Detroit Free Press. For the Enterprise & Appeal: Tbe First Bead Yankee—Continned. He lay in the stern of the boat and a six pound cannon on the bow. It may be strange, but it is nevertheless true, that 1 beard half a dozen or more men say I killed that yankee. Still there were on ly two halls in him. We carried the prisoners, boat and dead yan kee lo our camps at Csuston's Bluff near Savannah. When we arrived at camps tbe greatest ex citement prevailed, as they hatl heard the cannon and small arms. Col. Douglass had procured a steamboat from Savannah, put the regiment aboard, and was just about lo atari out to see what bad become of Adjutant Hill and his scouting party. As we came np, the Colonel called out, “Hall, who comes?” “Adjutant Hill’s scouting party.” “Ail stand, aud let the' foremost man come on board, that I may know beyond a doubt who you arc.” Being satisfied, all went aboard and to camps. It was amusing to hear the boys tell what they did while on the scoot. We of course expected the yankces in full force, anil half the regiment was taken back lo White Marsh island, and bad a little engage ment, lasting son e time. The yankces drove under cover of their gunboats, and after dark with drew. Everybody, or nearly so, ! after this wanted to go where there were plenty of yankees. Col. ' Douglass was very anxious to get into active service, having missed the little fights we already 'had, and we impatiently wailed for • chance. It was now the spribg of 18C2, and nothing more of any im portance took place at Savannah; nothing but picket duty. About this time one of our boys took a notion to get married; so be ran After Three Years. W. F.

Sane dy would pick np his ball, wal£ up to a roan, and while talking let the hall drop and somebody's toes' were pretty sure to get hurt, San dy remarking that the thing slip- pled out of his bands. About this' was coming down the line on time, the 20th of June. 1862, Col. Oglethorpe street, he noticed some Douglass got his regiment trans- children running after a flock of geese. Suddenly one little fellow disappeared from view, and Mr. Goodall thought tbe little fellow had fallen in a ditch until be heard a woman's loud screams. Jumping from the car be ran lo where the children were running about and crying and found that just beyond the spring above the factory a three-year-old child had sunk to its armpits into the ground. The mother was so bad ly frightened at seeing her child disappearing in the ground >liat she was unable lo pnll it out, and hurriedly walked about wringing her hands and crying bitterly. Mr. Goodall caught the little fel low by tbe arms and pulled it out. Tbe lime-sink, or whatever it is, is in a sort of drain that leads to the spring. It is considered a dangerous place, aud should re ceive attention. Mr. Goodall Is of the opinion that but for bis lime ly presence the child would have gone down over bis head.—Macon Telegraph. ferred to Stonewall Jackson’s' corps, then in Virginia.
