Wayne county, Ky., was the
scene of a desperate encounter on
the 2d inst., which was almost un¬
paralleled ferocity. Some time last
fall a man named Phillips killed
one Hutchinson, in Wayne cuunty,
*nd it app«ars that a man named
Powell was a witness to the killing.
Some *ime alter the killing, it is
said, Phillips offered Powell a sum
of money not to appear against him,
■or leave the country. Powell re
fused, and then Phillips is said to
have threatened to kill him if he
did not leave. Powell -defied
him. Circuit court commenced in
MontioeUo, the-county seat of Wayn
county, to-day, and Phillip’s trial
was to come up this week. On
last Thursday night, a party of
masked men, said to be six or seven
in number, went to Powell’s house
and ordered him to come out. On
his refusal they broke in the door
with a rail, and commenced to rush
in, when Powell armed with an ax,
struck three of the men down. Mrs.
Powell, in attempting to aid her
husband, was shot in the arm and
knocked down, her arm being badly
broken. The maskers retreated
from Powell’* furious attack, and
bo again dosed the door against
them, as best lie could, and begnn
to remove his wife to a bed. He
then hoard the inob coming again
toward the door. Ho then pro¬
cured a pistol and shot the first
man ho saw, killing him instantly,
then the others ran off. Tho
man killed proved to bo John Will
Smith, who lived in the northern
part of this, Pulaski, county. In
the first scuffle Mrs. Powell pulled
a handkerchief from the face of one
of the attacking party, and says she
recognized Phillips, tho man who
had threatened her husband. On
the following morning Powell went
to Monticello, procured warrants,
three of the men were arrested,
are now in jail.
I)» Something.
Do not Bpend your precious time
in wishing and watching and wait¬
ing for something to turn up. If
you do, you may wish, and watch
and wait forever. Things don’t
turn upihemsolvcs, you must turn
them up. You can do it if you
will, but you must put forth the
effort Idleness and indifference
cover accomplished anything. It
takes energy and push to make
headway in tho world. And an
active, and energetic, persevering
man is sure to sucecd. If lie cannot
do one thing lie will do something
else- If ho cannot succeed in one
direction, ho will in some other,
lie willdosomething. Ho will not
waste his time in idleness. There
is no lack of work, no lack of oppor¬
tunities. l>o what comes to your
hand, and do it well. True progress
is from the less to the greater. You
must begin low if you would build
high. Work is ordinarily the
measure ef sucee s. Quit resolving
and resolving, and go a:ul do some¬
thing.
A Parting Scene.

This is the way they do it:
“Good-bye !”
“Good-bye 1 Como down and
seo us right soon.”
“I will. Good-bye!”
“Good-bye! Don’t forget to
come soon.”
"No, 1 won’t. Don’t you forgot
to come up.”
“J won’t. Bo sure and bring
Sally Jano with you next time.”
“I will. l\l have brought her up
this time, bet she wasn’t very well.
She wanted to come awful bad.”
“Did she, now ? That was too
bad. Be sure and bring her next
time.”
“I will- 1 forgot to toll you she’s
cut another tooth.”
“You don’t say 1 How many has
got uow ?”
“Five. It makes him awful
cross.”
“1 guess it does, this hot weather.
W ell, good-bye! Don’t you for¬
get to come down.”
“No, I won’t. Don’t you forget
to come up. Good-bye !”

Ed Cox.
From the Atlanta Contitutiun.
The decision in the Ed. Cox case
as published by Tin Contlilulion
Wednesday, while not unexpected,
was still freely discussed by the
public. Its correctness was not
doubted, but more of sympathy
wag expressed for the unfortunate
man than we have beard heretofore.
The question uppermost in the
minds of most people who read the
verdict was : “Where will he go?”
Now that Cox must go to the
penitentiary, some one of the
camps must be designated as his
future residence. It has been
rumored for some time that lie is
not a desirable charge, and that
several of the lessees have stated
that they do not want him- Gover¬
nor Brown is reported as ayerse to
receiving him, upon the ground
that he is not such an “able
bodied” man as the law says he
shall have. Although a life-man
and primarily assignable to Gover¬
nor Brown, the latter holds that
Cox fat's in other conditions. We
understand that the physician of
the penitentiary has examined
Cox and reported bis physical
condition to the governor. What
that report contains has not been
disclose^!. Gov. Brown bad an
examination of Cox made by four
physicians of the city, headed by
Dr. If. V. M. Miller, as we learn
and they, made a report which
Governor Brown has filed with the
governor of the State. Wo arc
unable to state its contents, but
learn that it is a strong presenta¬
tion of defects in Cox’s physical
condition, lucidly and strongly
staled in a written report drawn by
Dr. Miller.
It was reported ns certain yes¬
terday that Cox would not be sent
to the coal mines, but would be
assigned to one of the lessees
engaged in farming operations in
south Georgia. It is probable
that the report is correct and that
Cox will be made easy upon one
of the plantations tvorked by either
Col. Lockett or Mr. Walters in
South Georgia. Yet another ru¬
mor assigned him to W. I). Grant
of this city.
Cox is said to have become re¬
conciled to the decrees of the courts
in so far ns to have given over his
intention to only come out of Ful¬
ton county jail “feet foremost.” lie
is closely watched to prevent any
attempt at self destruction, if, in¬
deed, he ever seriously contem¬
plated such an act He is very
much opposed to tho idea of being
shackled and is reported as ready
to pledge his honor that if spared
that humiliation he will perform
truly and creditable all things re¬
quired of him and make no attempt
to abuse tho clemency by an effort
to make good his escape. He says
that as ho must go to the peniten¬
tiary that be will go like a man
and do his duty like one.
He dues not expect any execu¬
tive clemency from the present
admiiik trillion and his friends say
he desires none nt its hands. If
pardoned ho wants it from hands
and with the sanction of his fellow
citizens of old, who know him and
believe in his honesty in all things.
He is said to often speak of Al¬
ston in the kindest terms and as a
friend whom nothing but a stern
necessity would have induced him
to harm, llis faithful wife and
loving children have cheered him
greatly in his confinement, and it
is a part of tho arrangement to be
made for him that they will be
located near him and see him often
General Steadman says that while
he was in command at Chattanooga
lie was visited by the notorious
Parson Brownlow, who became his
guest- One day while changing his
underclothing, the parson exhibited
to him a most singular birth-mark
on his body. It was a perfectly
formed snake not coiled or yet ex¬
tended, but curved as serpents are
often Been. It was of a red color,
and with every coior, and with
every feature so distinct that the in¬
dentations for the eyes were plainly
visible. Said the General: Physi
elogiets, I presume, can readily ex¬
plain tho cause of the singular
mark, but I am at a loss to under¬
stand how his whole nature became
so serpentine as it was. Veno
mous, vindictive and cunning lie
had as much snake as human
nature in his composition. The
, head , of ... the snake . . question ..
m was
just under the parson's left breast.
The bodv of the reptile extended
~
six or eight feet long.
