far removed from tl^&enes among
which this man bus Oifst.pis lot cannot
wejl appreciate the work he has done,
the immense amount of jsbi-r he has ex

that for the wo rid which only a brave
man can do. Ho has won .a name as an

Such a thing is impossible with the

It is a source of satisfaction that Mr.
Powderly has told the Knights of Labor
the change that has taken place in his
views on the tariff, because they will
be indue need by what he'has said to
give the tariff' uiore thought than they
have heretofore. The workingmen
have been always so much under the
iutlucnce of the manufacturers that
they have never given the tariff' issue
much thought. They have accepted to a
great extent the view their employers
took of it. and, in doing so, supposed,
t i. t they were serving t»«;- own inter

has taken I ce in their views with re

The last national campaign was an
edacutional oue, so far as the tariff' was
concerned. Mr. Cleveland’s tariff mes
sage to congress started the people to
flunking about the tariff'. If the cam
paign had been a little longer tlie
chances are that Cleveland and tariff re
form would have triumphed. The edu
cational campaign which Mr. Cleve
land inaugurated, however, is produc
ing good results. Two great republi
can states virtually approved tariff' re
form in the electious this month, and
the tariff' reform leaven is beginning to
have a marked effect among tlie work-

From a reliable gentleman who lives
near Paoli, over in Madison county,
who was in the city last eight, we learn
the particulars of a difficulty between
the whites and blacks that had a fatal
ending.
Of iate years politics in that county
have been in a ^demoralized condition,
owing to a split among the whites that
gave the negroes the balance of power.
This made them very insolent and dic
tatorial, and at the last term of court
forty of them signed a paper and sent
it to tlie Judge demanding that their
names be placed in the jury box. No
attention was paid to this request.
That enraged them, and they began to
organize all over the county and openly
threatened to exterminate the whites
and take forcible possession of their
lands. Notices were sent several prom
inent gentlemen ordering them to quit
the county on short notice. Around
Paoli, a little town about five miles
from the Elbert line, the blacks were
especially insolent, and this section
seemed the head centre of the insurrec
tion. A short time since a large crowd
of armed' negroes came into the town
for tlie avowed purpose of killing a re
spectable and quiet white gentleman,
but he had received timely information
of their intention, and had a strong
guard of friends to protect him. The
negroes then withdrew, with threats of
returning at some future time.
This lawless spirit rapidly spread
among the blacks all over Madispu
county, and they began to hold meet
ings and organize. The white ladies
and children were kept in constant
alarm, and the citizens saw that unless
something was done to quiet the ne
groes their county would soon be en
gaged in a race war.
Thcr leader of the negroes was named
William Parham, and he was the first
signer of the petition to Judge Lump
kin. Several nights ago a body of nn
known men took him out and gave the
fellow a genteel whipping, with or
ders to leave the county which he did,
going to Atlanta.
On Friday night last another body of
disguised .men went to 'a negro
house on Mr. Tomlinson 4 s place, about
two miles from Paoli, on the Moon’s
ferry road, and surrounding the build
ing ordered the inmates to come out.
One of them, a quiet old negro, a para
lytic named Tom Moss, tried to escape
and was shot and instantly killed. The
house was then invaded and a negro
named Gray, from Elbert county, and
a leader of ilit ri ders was shot and at
the time was th-u<ht lo be fatally
wounded, but he is now in a fair way
to recover. A negro woman was after
wards arrested and is now in fail at
Daniels vi lie.
At first it was thought that the shoot-
lng was done by white men, but it lias
since been proven that it was the work
of negroes, who took occasion to settle
old grudges among themselves. A ne
gro earn* to Dauclsville and swore out
warrants against against several white
men, but they established alibis. One
of the negroes in the hoiise at the time
testified that the regulators were all
blacks.
Siucg this killing the negroes all over
the county "are quieting down, aud no
further trouble is anticipated.
The" whites have hereafter decided to
nominate candidates by primary elec
tions, which will retire the negroes
from politics.

Japan papers are discussing at length
the proposed revisiou of the treaty of

October the ne«v Japanese man-of-war

The Japan Mail, in speaking of the

their portfolio were summoned to the

this command would not be unwelcome,

Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 28.—Ih July,
1883, Otis N. Wiloox, a capitalist, re
puted to be worth $100,000, supposed
widower, died, leaving the most of his
property to his son. Frederick P. Wil
oox. In August, 1884, a Buit was begun
agaist Wilcox by Mrs. Nellie Blackford,
a handsome and stylish widow of 85
years, for her dower right in tho estate.
Mrs. Blackford asserted that she was
the wife of old W leoxaud that she had
been secretly married to him in 1881, in
Montreal, on board of a steamer lying
at the dock. Young Wilcox fought the
claim. The suit finallv ended in a com
promise by which ^irs- Blackford, or
Wilcox, received $20,000.
In the course of the trial evidence
was given to show that Blackford, her
first hu^bau l, had gone west in 137(5,
ami had di*'<l there. Blaoatord left
without wanting any one, and just after
his departure sent a letter to his wife,

▲ toil! Shot.
Mt hunting experiences have, as a rule,
been very tame and uninteresting, but 1
had one last month, when on my vaca
tion, which I think is worth recording.
I had been tramping all day in the
woods about Louis Lake and the little
sheets of water at that neighborhood is
the Adirondacks and had bagged noth
ing of any consequence. I was jus!
hungering for deer, and just as 1
emerged from a bit of forest oa the edg«
of one of these little lakes my eye fob
upon a fine stag drinking from the lake,
but opposite to me and fully half a mil*
away.
It was tantalizing, for I am not s
half-mile shooter, and anyway, if I shot
the noble fellow, he would only dart back
into the woods to die and I would never
be able to find him. But I was desper
ate, and raising my rifle I •‘bimmed"
away at him. ^
The deer gave a bound at the report of
pay weapon and darted into tlw
woods, while I set on my way around
the edge of tho lake. I had not traveled
more than half a mile when I came upon
tlie dead body of my deer. He had run
a third of the distance round the lak«
towards me before falling. I knew it
was my deer by the peculiarity of hit
horns.—N. Y. Evening World.

wrote him a note, saying that he had kept
one little tender present she had mads
him in the days when she thought hs
was good and true and a gentleman,
with the “gentleman” underscored sev
eral times very heavily. It was a lock
of hair, and she could not naturally per

with a brief note: “It doesn’t make any
