death in Texas of Albert IVlil'en is :in>
trounced. In the summer ot 1SG4, Mr.
Me lit ii, then a young man of twenty
four, was a prisoner at Vicksburg. The
Federal military authorities, then in pos
session of that city, ordered him out tor
street or fortification work under a color
ed guard, lie claimed his exemption as
a prisoner, and peremtorily refused to
obey the order. A squad of colored sol¬
diers, under command of a white Lieu¬
tenant, was sent to huu to attempt coer¬
cion at the point of the bagoneh In ;he
presence of the flashing steel he stood
unawed, and a moment later, seeing that
the squad was bent upon coercion, and
that he must go or be impaled, he sud -
denly seized a hatchet that happened to
he in reach, and, throwing himself upon
his knees, quickly extended his left arm
along the floor, and with two bold strokes
of the hatchet completely severed the
hand from the arm. Then, rising to his
feet, he held the bleeding, mangled stump
close to the face of the Lieutenant, aud
said : ‘Now, sir, will you make me work
for your rotten government under a ne¬
gro guard V He conquered then, and
never afterwards regretted the act.— [N.

‘A splendid assortment. Step in. sir.
Every price and every styie. The cheap

‘TheD,’ said the countryman, with
great gravity, ‘you had better put on one
for you need it.’
It is not luck but labor that makes
men. “Luck,” says au able writer, “is
ever waiting for something to turn up;
labor, with keen eye aud strong will, al¬
ways turns up something. Luck lies in
bed and wishes the postman would
bring him news of a legacy ; labor turns
out atisix, aud with busy pen or ringing
hammer lays the foundation of a com¬
petence. Luck whihes; labor whistles
Liiok relies on chance ; labor on charac
tar. Luck slips downward to self indal
gence; labor strikes boldly upward* and
aspires to independence. ”

Miss Eleanor E. Wood, daughter of John

meuts, an insect of some kind lit on one
of her temples and stung her. Sim has
lily brushed the insect from her temple
without ascertaining what it was, and
returning into the house she thought
nothing more of it until some time aher
ward she felt a violent itching pain in
the region of the wound, which was fol¬
lowed by a swelling of the face. All
remedies known were applied, bat fhd
iog to give any relief, a physician was
called in, and afterwards two other phy
biciaos were called. All the known re in
edies were applied, but wilhout avail,
and on Friday afternoon, between’three
acd four o’clock, Miss Wood died. The
physicians are entirely at a loss to know

The Mississippi plan of colleeting tax¬
es on drinks differs from the Moffett sys¬
tem, Books ot coupons are sold by the
State Auditor to all liquor dealers. When
a drink is sold, the consumer receives a
coupon, which entitles him to receive
from the State, in payment of hi<? taxes,
one cent. If two drinks ars to be paid
for, he receives an orange-colored cou
pon good for two cents. If five drinks,
a blue paper good tor five cents, Not
only does the State enjoy au income from
the tax on drinks, but tbe consumer has
a reasonable chance of paying off taxes
with coupons.
About the Size of It. —Says the Ral¬
eigh Observer: ‘Those who are not
with us are against us, All independ¬
ents are disorganizes, and disorganizes
are enemies. Time was when we all
worked together, because we saw it was
necessary. Nor can any true man now
look back to the dark days of radical
robbery and, remembering the strength
there was iu Democratic unity th-m, fail
to appreciate fully the strength there is
in Democratic unity now, and the need
for putting it forth.*

Horrible Outrage.-—O n Monday the
8th inst. Miss Bell Bryant, au orphan
giH, about thirteen years old, living with
Dr. W. R. Barker, in Lee county, was
outraged and murdered by some fiend,
while that gentleman was on a. visit to
this city. We learn that Mrs. Barker
was sick m bed. and the girl went to the
spring between eight apd nine o’clock,
which was about half a mile distant from
the house, for a bucket of water ; when
act of stopping over the spring *
she was assailed b v lhe scoun
-
drel, who had been lurking behind a tree
near by waiting his victim, seized by the
throat, and, it is supposed by Dr, Barker
who examined the child, was brutally
outraged and choked to death, and then
thrust head downward into the sparing.—
After awaiting the return of the girl for
sevcral hours > Mrs - barker, suspecting
