CRASH BETWEEN THE WHITES AND
BLACKS—THE FATALITIES OF
THE AFFRAY.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. G —The
Eufnula Times telegraphs to the Ad¬
vertiser that the following special
was received by it from Shellman,
Ga: Ward’s Station, in this county,
was to’day the scene of a dastardly
attempt on the part of a family of
negroes to take the lives of several
of the best citizens of that place, in
which they partially succeeded, and
in which one of their number was
shot dead on the spot. George Oli¬
ver, one of the best citizens of the
place, is postmaster, express agent
and telegraph operator, in which he
is assisted by his eon Joe, a young
man just attaining manhood.
the cause of the trouble.
Yesterday a negro girl named
Franc Celeman went to the depot to
look after a box. While there she
took offense at something, and re*
turning home, half a mile from the
station, reported the matter to her
brothers, two young buck, who at
once determined to resent the wound¬
ed dignity of their sister. Arming
themselves this morning with sticks
and knives, they repaired to the de¬
pot, and seeking out Jim Oliver at
an opportune time set upon him, sud¬
denly plunging a knife into his
throat. The negroes then fled, hut
were pursued by Jesse Oliver and
his brother, the father and uncle of
the unfortunate lad.
SHOT FROM Ills HORSE.
TFhen the negroes arrived at home
their mother ran out with a nuisket
whick she handed to one of her sons
telling him to shoot. He did so, and
Jesse Oliver fell from his horse shot
through the arm. One of the negroes
was killed by the Oliver brethers and
the other tied to the woods, where
he is now being hunted. The third
negro man, the girl and mother were
arrested and brought here this even
ing under heavy guard. It is thought
young Joe Oliver will die, and Jesse
0[iver is dangerously hurt.
People Who Live in Trees.
Dr. Louis lUclf, who made the sen¬
sational discovery a while ago that
the Sankurn river afforded a more
direct and more easily navigated
route to central Africa than the Con¬
go, made another discovery in the
course of the same journey which
was quite as remarkable if not so
important. On the banks of the Lon
ami river, far toward the center of
the continent, he says lie found
whole villages that were built in the
trees. The natives, partly to protect
themselves from the river when in
flood, and party to make it more difi
ficult for their enemies to surprise
them, build their huts on tlie limbs
of the trees where the thick foliage
almost completely hides the struc¬
tures from view. The inmates poss¬
ess almost the agility of moneys, and
they climb up to or descend from
their little houses with astonishing
case. It is believed they are the on¬
ly Africans vet known who lives in
trees. In Borneo some of natives are
said to live in trees, and Mr. Chal¬
mers in his hook on New Guinoa,
tells of a number of tree houses that
he visited on that island. These huts
which arc built near the top of very
high trees, are used for lookout pur¬
poses, or as a place of refuge for wo¬
men and children in case of attack.
They are perfect little huts with slop¬
ing roofs and platforms in front, to
which extends the long ladder, by
means of which the natives reach the
huts. Mr. Gill describes one of these
houses which was used as a residence
He s')ys it was well built, but that it
rocked uncomfortably in the wind.

The Insane Asylum Report.
Savannah Morning News.
Dr. T. O. Powell, Superintrndcnt
of the Insane Asylum, furnishes
some very interesting facts respect,
ing that institution in his annual re¬
port. He shows that the alleged
alarming increase of insanity among
the white population of the State is
more apparent than real. One of the
causes for the apparent increase is
the large number of harmless cases
now sent to the asylum, wnich, in
slave times, were cared for at home,
because thvre were plenty of servants
then to look after 'them. Another
is the statute enacted in 1877, mak¬
ing the institution free to all bona
fide citizens. Under this statute the
counties send all persons liable to
become a burden on the county to
the asylum who show any mental
weakness. There are other reasons,
but none of them is sufficient that
there is any marked increase in in¬
sanity among the white people.
Among the colored people, how¬
ever, there is a very marked increase.
According to the census of 1800
there were only 44 insane negroes in
the State in a population of 405,000,
or one in every 10,584. The census
of 1870 shows that there were 120
insane in a population of 545,142, or
one in cveiv 4,225. In 1880 the col¬
ored population was 725,133, and in
tlie number of colored insane was
411, or one in every 1,764.
With respect to the increase of in
sanity among the colored people, Dr
Powell says: ‘“The etiology of this
sudden outburst of insanity in tlie
colored race is a problem of profound
interest, not only to thejinedical psy¬
chologist, but to all who sympathize
with these unfortunates who are the
subjects of this fearful malady, and
indeed [to tlie public generally, for
with the same ratio of increase as in
the past decade, coupled with tin
growing susceptibility from heredi¬
ty, the colored insane will soon out¬
number the white. It is only a ques¬
tion of little time belore it will bur¬
den tlie State to provide for this
class of her afflicted.”
Dr. Powell says that by some it is
believed that one of the principal
causes of their insanity is the thought
of the morrow—the mental anxiety
arising from the care of their fami¬
lies. lie does not, however, consid¬
er this opinion as sound. lie says
that in slavery times the negroes
were forced to obey the laws of
health, which they conspicuously vi■
olatc now. lie is rather inclined to
the opiiffon that much of the insani¬
ty among them is in this fact—that
is, the violation of the laws of health.

Self-Control.
Who does not admire the power
and beauty of this trait! To my mind
it more than any other gives honor
and dignity to its possessor. Witness
two cases of behavior under provoca¬
tion. Abuse borne in quiet patience
awakens for the sufferer our ready
sympathy; while one who rages and
vows vengeance on his persecutor,
loses part of our pity, m the scorn
which he invokes. There is greatness
in one who holds himself in in sub¬
mission. If it is “better to rule oiio’s
own spirit, than to take a city,” how
much bettor than to wield, through
selfishness, the wills of our friends.
There are those who, if fearful of
losing their own way, will indulge
in a fit of passion, oven to bringing
on illness, making all the other mem¬
bers of the family feel obliged to lay
aside their own feelings, and walk
with the greatest fear of exciting
such consequences. Cases have been
known where this person was not a
child, but the wife and mother of a
grown up family. Father and chil¬
dren may develop an unusual amount
of kind thoughtfulness, rendering
them very pleasingjbut, alas! it’ean*
not prevent the contempt they must
feel for the selfish and passionate
willfulness which has wrought in
them this result. You cannot afford
to grow into such a character. Com'
menee early to practiceself-Control.

A RelM“
From Bill Nye.
The Hutchinson family gave a
concert last evening at the Metho¬
dist church, according to advertisei
rnent, and were greated with a fair
house. The entertainment did not
awaken very loud applause, nor very
much of it. The songs wore not new
Many of them I had almost forgot¬
ten, but they were trotted out last
evening and driven around the track
in pretty fair time.
The fresh little quartette entittled
“Tommy, don’t Go,” was brought
forward during the entertainment.
I could see that this song has failed
very much since I last met it. Its
teeth arc falling out, and it is gett¬
ing very bald-headed. It will proba¬
bly make two or three more grand
farewell concerts and then it will be
found dead in its bed some morning
before breakfast.
“Silver Threads Among the Gold”
was omitted from the programme.
The old rnelodeon that I remem¬
ber was rickety and out of repair
when I was a prattling infant, was
on tlie stage last evening. It is about
the size of a mouth organ, but the
tone is not as clear. It is getting
wheezy, and a short breath shows
it is beginning to leel the infirmities
of age. The pumping arrangement
makes more noise than the music,
and something is the matter with
the exhaust pipe. But when the old
man opened the throttle and gave
her sand, she would make a good
deal of racket for such a little tiling.
After the concert was over, Mr.
Hutchinson rolled up the rnelodeon
in his pocket handkerchief and took
it home.
Take the entertainment lip one
side and down the other, I was not
much tickled with it. For those who
like to drift hack into the musty cen¬
turies gone by, and shake hands with
the skeletons of forgotten ages, it is
ill right; hut the time has coma when
a troupe cannot travel upon anything
hut true merit, and the public require
that those who ask for money shall
give some kind of an equivalent.

Sweet-Minded Women.
So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. It is to
her that friends come in seasons of
sickness and death for lieip and com¬
fort; one soothing touch of her kind
ly hand works wonders in the fever¬
ish child; a few words let fall from
her lips in the ear of a sorrowing sis¬
ter do much to raise the load of grief
that is bowing its victim to the earth
in anguish. The husband comes
home worn out with the pressure of
business, and feeling irritable with
the world in general; hut when lie
enters the cozy sitting-room and sees
his wife’s smiling face, he succumbs
in a moment to the soothing influence
which act as the balm of Gilead to
his wounded spirit, that is wearied
with combating with the stern reoli
tics of life. The school-boy Hies in a
rage from the taunts of his compam
ions to find solace in his mother’s
smile; the little one, full of grief with
its own large troubles, finds a haven
of rest on its mother’s breast; and so
one might go on with instance after
instance of the influence that swoet
mindod woman has in a social life
with which she >s connected. Beauty
is an insignificant power when com¬
pared with hers.—-The Presbyterian.

Is there a Decrease in Litigation?
From the Savannah Times.
The lawyers and magistrates com¬
plain about a decrease in litigation
which is one of the gratifying signs
of the times. The reeords of the
several courts from the Supreme,
United States Circuit and District,
Superior and City down to the Mag*
istrates’ do not show any preceptible
falling off, yet the lawyers and jus¬
tices claim that the legal business is
not brisk or good. It inay not be,
however in large controversies which
are conducted by uicn of wealth that
this decrease is not noticeable. There
are fewer trivial cases brought in the
smaller courts than there were a few
years ago.
The decrease may he due to two
causes, greater knowledge of the law
by average citizens, and a much
keener appreciation by all the laws,
the expense, uncertainly and delay.
Probably ninctenths of the suits
brought for less than §25 or more
cost, worry and injury to the gainer
of the suit, than the mount involved.
It, lias been the policy of the lawyers,
with whom Legislative Assemblies
have been generally filled, to make
going to law as expensive as possi¬
ble, and one of the arguments for
this was the grimly humorous one,
that it was for the public interest to
d isco n rage I i tigat i on.
If the law entirely prevented liti¬
gation, for very small sums except
for labor performed, if, would he still
more for the benefit of everybody,
excepting lawyers.
Under such a system there would
he much more careful inquiries about
character rather than money, and
perhaps more curtailment of credit.
But this would also he of not disad*
vantage to anybody excepting law¬
yers. The credit tlia' a man gets be¬
cause lie can be sued, and the debt
thus collected is more damage to,
than good to him, and not much
benefit to any one with whom ho
deals. The exemption’frem garnish
niont, the homestead law and the
evasion of payment of the creditors;
scales and weights are not marked,
have probably as much to do with
the decrease in litigation as any
known cause. Notwithstanding, what
the lawyers and magistrates say
about tlie falling off in business, the
courts are admitting newly fledged
attorneys te the bar. and no one can
remember that a magistrate ever ten¬
dered his resignation in years.

A company of immigrants had
camped in New Mexico, and one
of the party, who was sleeping on
the ground, was awakened by a pe¬
culiar sensation on his toes. He luok
od and saw an enormous centipede
crawling across his foot. Only a few
feet from him was the camp fire, and
he could see every fibre of the rep¬
tile. Knowing its peculiarities and
the effect of its sting, he was in a
fever of excitement. Atraid to move
a muscle, lie dared not attempt to
shake it off. After a second’s pause
he reached under his head, got his
pistol, and taking deliberate aim,
fired. It was a life-saving shot for
the man. The centipede divided and
dropped on each sirU of his foot.
But here comes tbo most remarkable
part of the story. Tlitbin an hour
after the shot was fired the men
heard a terrible groaning from ono
of tlieii mules tied only a few yards
away. They went to them and found
one of them with his left foreleg
swollen to an immense size. The
swelling increased, as did the agony
and groans of the brute, until it died
in about thirty minutes thereafter.
An examination was made, and it
was discovered that the bullet that
had severed the centipede had enter¬
ed the mule’s foot just above the
hoof, and inocnlated it with the pois¬
on from the reptile.

j On Monday last a south-bound
train on the South Florida railroad,
just before reaching Plant City,
struck a calf and safely landed it on
top of the pilot. On reaching Plant
City tbo calf was found to be lying
in a very comfortable position aud
seemingly unhurt.
