Five negroes, including one woman, were hanged at Eastman, Ga, for complicity in a terrible riot which occurred at a camp meeting at that place in August last. The outbreak had its origin in the arrest by the City Marshal of a negro gambler, who, upon resisting and attempting to escape, was shot and killed. This inflamed the negroes to a furious pitch, and they wreaked their vengeance in the most horrible manner upon a young man named Harvard, whom they killed and mutilated In an encounter which followed be' w en the wh te citizens and the riotous negroes three of the latter were killed The colored people of the region regarded the punishment as out of all proportion to the crime committed, and t hero were apprehensions of trouble at the execution, but none occurred, and the five negroes were hanged Without any attempt at rescue.

Commissioner Price, es the Indian Bureau, in his annual report to the Secretary of th ’ Interior for the fiscal year ended June 30. 1882, says: "Land has been ojiened to cultivation, houses for Indian residences built, schools opened and operated, and hi many cases and in various ways the cause of civilization generally advanced. The difficulty of procuring Agents of the right stamp is regarded as one of the most import nt causes which operate to retard the improvement of the Indians.’’ The co-operation of the religious societies is regarded by the Commissioner as a very im portant auxiliary in the civilization of th* Indians, and he points to the benefits derived from their work during the past few years. The present appropriations are regarded as ent rely too f-mall :o compass ends to be obtained witbin a reasonable time. The Commissioner says: “If sl,oolooofor educational purposes given now will save several millions in future, it is wise economy to give that million at once, and not dole it out in small sums that do but little good. ” The evils ol cash annuities are commented upon, and an instance given where, after a cash payment to the Utes, $2,000 were spent for firearms, ammunition and whisky in Salt Lake City, and in a short time nine-tenths of the payment went in the same direction. The funds appropriated by Congress in the regular appropriation bill for the support of the Indians proved ent rely insufficient mainly owing to the high price of b es and flour.* The total number of Indians in the United States exclusive of Alaska is 262,906 The Commissioner comments in severe terms upon the iniquity of the liquor traffic among the Indians, aud quotes many instances of trouble arising from it He recommends greater stringency in the laws on the subject, aud says those sections of the statutes which allow army officers to introduce liquor into the Indian country should be repealed. The report declares there Is urgent necessity for additional legislation to prevent intrusion upon Indian lands. Exclusive of the five civilized tr.ljes, the who'e number of Indian pupils attending school the past year has been 8.508. Os these 468 were in attendance at the Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove training-schools. Os the rema nder, 4,510 attended reservat on boar- ing-schools and 3,997 reservation day-schools. The average attendance for the year was 5,249. Industrial training is < arried on at agency board-ing-schools, and is receiving more and more attention each year. In connection wth fifty-seven schoo s, 1,428 acres are under cultivation. Blacksmithing, tailoring and hamessmaking are taught at four schools. Seven teach shoemaking, ten carpentering, and fifteen raising and care of sto k. Training in these branches is greatly stimulated bv the success of experiments at Carlisle, ifampton and Forest Grove. An appropriation of not less than sso,Oik) should be made by Congress at its next session to properly equip the existing agency schools for industrial work. The whole number of schools in operation is 101, or five less than last year. RAILWAY CASUALTIES. A terrible accident to a caboose full of workmen belonging to the North Adams (Mass.) freight-yard occurred, in which twen-ty-seven men were injured, and several fatally. At about 6:30 a. m. the engineer, Charles Wells, and the fireman, Joseph Bostley, left the North Adams depot on the engine Deerfield, on the State road, pushing a caboose loaded with thirty men to go to work at different filaces near Zoar and Carlemont The party n the car included a section gang, a gang of masons, stone ern hers, track-Dyers and carpenters. The engine and caboose started for the tunnel, aud had gone about half way there when the caboose, which was in front, collided with a Troy .and Boston engine. The caboose was raised from its trucks and carried to the cowcatcher of the en ine Deerfield. The front of the engine was smashed, and steam and hot water flew into the caboose. The men not hurt in the < ollision were burned badly. and but few escaped without injury. Those who had not been hurt by the collision endeavored to escape, but were met by the hot water, steam aud smoke and nearlv smothered before they got out. Blood was spilled ail along the track Four m**n died within a few hours aft<*r the accident, and others will probably die from the effects of their inturiea A special freight train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, north hound, stnvk a mule in a cow-cap a quarte r of a mile north of Shepherdsville, Ky., ditching ten of the cars, ana throwing Ibe engine down a steep embankment.

J.) passenger train on the Pennsylvania railroad threatened the travelers with a terrible death, but Engineer Steele, who had made his escape from the blazing f-pot, returned, reversed the engine and tne train stopj ed on the Hackensack bridge. Mr. Steele, in performing his heroic act, was shock ugly Burned, and may not survive his injuries. A passenger train on the Memphis and Little Rock railroad was thrown from the track only a few miles west of Memphis by a broken rail Fhe engine and one car were demolished, and two cars were thrown down a small embankment. It is considered certain that eight men injured in the accident cannot live. A dispatch from Bridgeport, Ct., says that eight cars of the Boston through ireight, bound East, were badly wrecked mar Southport Station, on the New York and and New England railroad. Thomas Mai tin, a brakeman, was killed. Two brakemen were badly injured. A DEATH-BED MARRIAGE. A Maryland <;irl Married at the Bedside «HT Her Dying Father. A strange and romantic inarria re cere, mony wss performed at the residence of Judge William Bowie, of Montgomery county. Maryland. The Judge was defeated tor re-nomination at the primary election, recently, and a few days since was taken seriously ill with nervous prostration, which developed into tvpho-malarial fever.

A Tale Like the Stories Told ill the Great Forest! of the Old Country. tCharlotte (It tl.) T elet»Tam to Chicago Tribune.] For months past th re have i i-Cn of a terrible apparition, which has terrorized all the women and children in C.’ear Creek township. The women say that for two weeks they have been subject to terrifying vis ts in the libsCti- C M f Sheir husbands from a creature like a shiny, black negress, with long ha'r and gleaming eyes. She asks in hard y distinguishable gibberish for a baby to eat, and make 4 efforts to getho’d of the children: The men, getting tired of the fears of th- ir wives, determined tn try and cat h the reatttri*, ftnd t’Of thfi last Week crowds of farmers haYe been daily aHd nigh ly chasing her without success. The fi’st effo’tto catch her was made a week ago by John Roberts, a blacksmith. The wild cr» ature had appeared several t imes at a fitC Which it was the habit of Carey Moore (colored) of the hflighbflfhood to light after dark in the yard of h a house for the preparation of his meals. Roberts w s put to watch her, and she appeared even before the flames were well kindled she presented such a wild look in the ha flight. and asked for food in such wild fashion, that Roberts was demoralize He recovered, however, made an outcry, and atteii pt‘d to seize the Woman, but she slii ped through hD hands, and disappeared in the dark sha lows of the woods. Tuesday morning Maj. btephen Cowell caught si-.-ht of the creature, and chased her across an open field. He was badly hurt in his efforts to keep up with her, and reported that she outran ft buck, and cleared lour corn-rows at a leap. That same night she was again enticed from the woods by the k ndling of a fire, and was chased by thirty men without success. Capt Marsh Allen, later in the day, met her in the neighborhood with her lace torn and bleeding, and a long bloody knife in her hand '1 he creature was naked and so unearthly and terrible-looking to him that he says he is not sure it is a human being. Her hair reached almost to her feet, and was kinky like that of the African. It is not mere fright which has caused the country people to organize in their attempts to catch the creature, which has been living in the forest and swamp fastnesses for a year <>r more. Some months ago it is rejiorted an infant was spirited away from its parents’ yard while they were in the corn held, anil was never heard from, and the disappearance was from that section of the country in which the wi d woman has been seen, and mothers, white and black, are in terror for fear their little ones may also become food tor the cannibal negresa. Yesterday the farmm. some mounted and others on toot, assembled tor the purpose of surrounding a swamp in which the creature s known to be hid There are 400 men ready for the chase. At first it was attempted to run her down with bloodhounds, but they refused to chase her, which deepened the superstitious feeling with which the men as well as the women of the community began to regard her. The men made the attempt to catch her, but without success. The excitement among the negroes and simple county folk is intense. THE NATIONAL WEATHER BUREAU. Report <>f the Chief Signal Officer. The Chief Signal Officer of the Army, in his annual report, says eleven new stations have been aided, and special reports are made for the cotton and tobacco-growing regions of the country, and the means for giving warnings to cattle-raisers of Texas against the approach of “northers" have been improved. Experiments have been made with a view of increasing the value of the farmers' bulletin bv the addition of a weather chart of the United States, and it is believed in a short time these charts may be successfully' reproduced on the farmers’ bulletin. With each year the popular knowledge of the u«es of this bulletin enables those interested in agriculture to judge of the correctness of forecasts, and with the addition of the proposed weather-map hid viduals will be able to make correct predictions of the weather for localities which it ir impossible to provide for in the brief sentence which expresses the prevailing weather indications antic pat n d ror an entire district It is contemplated, as the work of the office progres es, to add to this bulletin brief instructions for the use of instruments which may hereafter be furnished for io al observers. The railway-bulletin service has provi nos great value th° past year. The system of frost warnings for the benefit of the sugar interests in Louisiana has been continued. During the coming year it is proposed to telegraph frost warnings direct from the Signal Office to all telegr Inh offices in the sugar-growing sections. It s proposed to establish a system of frost warn ng 4 for the lien efit of the to-bacco-growing interest of the country, also similar service for the benefit of the orangegrowers of Florida. A system of report* for the Benefit of the cotton interests was thoroughly organized an 1 successfully operated since September. 1881. At the solic ta’ion of those interested in the cultivation of wheat and other grains in the Northwest it is contemplated to establish a service similar to that now in operation for the lienefir of the cotton interests, which will enable this office to publish in the journals of the Northwest the daily rainfall and temperature, as determined from a large number of stations. The c st to the Government of the men who do the signal-service work is less than £lsJ.(riO a year. The cost of salaries alone for the same number of civilian clerks would amount to more than $6)0,900.

Ills death grew out t'f « Wild between the families of Mabry and Lusby. At the time there Was much excitement, owing to the fact- that both families were prominent, and it was generally reported mat much blood might be .hed between the two itUlHlies. It will be remembered that on Christmas eve Will Mabry was killed by Don C. Lusby. Afterward, after the lapse of several months, h tragmlv occurred in the Recorder's Court, Which resulted In the dea'h of Don C. Lusby and liis fathef, Lusby. Now follows the tfaftMy Which mtiSt be reported to-day. It appears tflrtt fret-, erdav morning Gen. Mabry met Maj.

O’Connor had been advised thflt his life was thieatened, and naturally armed h<msdf and prepared to meet his enemy. Mil. tt'Cmtnot Was the President of the Mechanics’ Nntibhrtl bank of Knoxville. He was stand ng Hi JtW door wai ing lor his enemy, who appeared, apparently unarmed, walk ng up the stieet.

Mabry had about thirty iwkshot tn bis body. A by»ta i er wa< painfully wounded in the thigh, and another in the arm. Four other men bad clo hes pierced by buckshot. There is the most intense CXCitem -n here in Knoxvil e, and re ort rs are almost ; shamed to report these facts b cause it does Tennessee so much barm. It will lie remembered that Don Lusby and his fat 'er, Moses Lusby had an alterca ion in the I.mi rder’s office with Jo eph A. Mabry, Sr., and Joseph A. Mabry, Jr., and that Don Lusby and his -Sther. Moses Lusby, were killed. Joseph A.

The people of this city were surprised at the acquittal of the two M.ibrys. but thought that the troubles were all over, and now we would have peace in this community. All the parties to the affair were men of marked prominence in Tennessee, on-of them (GT'onn iri being the possessor of a fortune estimated at #10,000,000. He was rated as the reheat man in the State. Ho was lavish in helpfu' deeds to deserving persons and institutions, and his death is greatly mourned. Take Lite Easy. We are apt to make life altogether tot serious. If we should wake up in the. next world and find there was none, we should have occasion to reproach ourselves for many neglected opportunities for a good time lost. We are too ambitious to get rich. And if there is another and a hotter world than this, those of our restless, over-reaching toiling rich men, who find themselves where their gold is melting and w ater is scarce, may regret that they did not make better use of their money in a country whore it was current, and at a time when it was at par. It was the evident intention of the Creator to make the life of his creatures an enjoyable and a pleasant one. To birds and bears and fishes He gave the air and earth and water for their enjoyment; to them He gave but little care—that of procuring food for themselves and for their young —and the young are not too long permitted to depend upon the parents’ care. To man He gave dominion over the earth; and through aijt and science, skill, labor and industry, he is to subject it to his use. That use is for the advancement of his pleasure, for healthful, rational enjoyment. The man or woman who does not mak< that use of life is as unnatural and ungrateful, as w icked and absurd, as the well-fed bird who sits in the sun and will not sing. And the parent who does not delight in seeing children enjoy themselves is as unnatural as the austere sheep who sulks and frowns when lambkins sport upon the meadow in the sunlight. There is more sunshine than shadow, if we only look for it; there are more gay than grave ; things; there is more of music and melody, and joy, and gladness in the natural universe than there is of sad, solemn sound and gloomy sight The bright and glorious orb around w hich our earth revolves has only here ana there a dark spot upon its shining surface; the moon is always half in light and reflects more sunshine than shadow, the stars are ever bright, and when hidden by the darkness of intervening clouds, these are silver-lined. There are Books In the runidna brooks; Sermon? In the stones, and good tn everything. There is music in the rustling wind, the babbling stream, the insect’s breathing hum, the song of birds and whirr of cities; solemn anthems sung in the forests' leaves, and sublimest melody from the ocean wave. There are grand paintings by the Master hung upon the arching vault as the sunset lingers upon our western sky; scenes upon our hills as they change from emerald green to russet brown; more gorgeous landscapes m our valleys than Claud Lorraine could paint; more beauties in the heart of mountains than the glowing pencil of artists can catch and transfer to canvas. This is a jolly w orld of ours if we would make it so. It is a glorious life spread out for our enjoyment for the three score years and ten of our allotment, if with happy hearts and cheerfull minds we would make it so. Too many of us, ambit ious for power, eager to grow rich, annoyed by small vexations, make life a constant battle from the cradle to the grave. The Court Thought the Fine Too Much. A young man came into J istiee Cary’s court-room in Carson City. Nevada, with the rim of his hat drawn down over his eyes and remarked: "Do you know me?” “I think.” replied the court, meekly,

“that you're the ehap I sentenced for stealing about a year ago.” "That’s the har-pin I am," replied the V other, “alld there is S2O for my fine.” “But you selfed your term in jail,” said the judge, “ami owe no fine. “That’s right, old boy; Imt I’m going to commit an assault and battery, and I guess I’ll begin now. You’re the man I propose to lick.” “Oli, that’s it,” rejoined the Court, pocketing the com; “then you can start in and we’ll call it square.” The young man advanced to the judge and let out his left. The judge ducked his head, and rising up, lifted the intruder in the eye with a right-hander, and sent him over against the wall. In a moment the court was climbing all over the man, and in alwut three minuted his face was hardly recognizable. The man begged the Court to let up. which he finally did. As the fellow was about to go opt, Cary went after him with: “See here, young man, I don’t think the fighting you did ought to be assessed at more than $2.50: here’s $17.50 in change. I ain’t charging you anything for the fighting, but just for my time. Next time I won’t charge yon a cent.” The rough took the change and the next train for Virginia City.— Carson City Appeal. THE NAMELESS NATION. A British Imp renal on of Anwrle» an«l Americans. Mr. Edward A. Freeman, the English historian, having been on a visit to this country, has published his “impressions,” The following are interesting extracts' . . The word "American for some purposes means the United States only; for some other purposes it means the whole American continent. It is certainly odd that “American languages” k Oiild be everywhere understood as meaning the native languages of the continent, while "American literature” means so much of English literature as belongs locally to the United States. To mo Prescott and Motley seem as much English historians, Longfellow and Whittier seem as much English poets, as if they had been and had written in Great Britain. They are English writers, writing in the English tongue, their own tongue, in which they have just as much right as any native of Great Britain. But in common American speech, “English literature” means the literature of the local England only. “American literature” belongs exclusively to the United States. The phrase hardly takes in the English literature, if there lai any, of Canada; it certainly does not take in the Spanish literature, if there be any, of Mexico. The oddest use of all is when the word “American” is used geographically to shut out certain parts of the American continent. At Niagara people talk of the “American side” and the “English side.” I suggested “for 'American' read English,’ and for 'English’ read ‘French.’" The truth is that the great land of the United States has not yet a name, a real local name, like England or France, or even like Canada or Mexico. I know not whether it is any comfort that, as I once observed elsewhere, the lack is common to the United States of America w ith the other chief confederations of the world. The kingdom of the Netherlands, once the Seven United Provinces, is commonly spoken of as “Holland," the name of one of its provinces only, while we commonly call its people “Dutch,” the name of a great race which takes in ourselves. It is by a kindred confusion, though one which does not take exactly the same form, a confusion arising from the same lack of a real name for the country, that, when we speak of "American literature,” “American institutions,” “American polities,” “American society,” we mean the institutions, the literature, the politics and the society of the United States only, while by “American zoology,” “American geology,” etc., we mean those of the whole continent, while “American languages” distinctly excludes those languages in which American literature has been possible. The want of a real name for the land, and the awkwardness to which one is driven for lack of it, struck me at every turn in mv American travels.

It struck me, says Mr. Freeman, that, w ith regard to reading and know ledge —at least in those branches of which I can judge—America stands to England very much as England stands to Germany, I conceive that in Germany the proportion of those who know something is smaller than it is in England, while the proportion of those who know a great deal is certainly larger. Anyhow this distinction is perfectly true between England and America. There is a mysterious being called the “general reader,” of whom some editors seem to live in deadly fear. Now I had long suspected that the "general reader" was not so great a fool as the editors seemed to think, and my American experience has confirmed that suspicion. America strikes me as the land of the “general reader,” and, if so. I am not at all disposed to think scorn of the "general reader.” It seemed to me that in America the reading class, the class of those who read widely, who read, as far as they go, intelligently, but who do not read deeply—the class for those who, w ithout being professed scholars, read enough and know enough to lie quite worth talking to—form a larger proportion of mankind in America than they do in England. On the other hand, the class of professed scholars, is certainly much smaller in proportion in America than it is in England. The class exists; it numbers some who have done thoroughly good work, and others from whom thoroughly good work may lie looked for; but it sometimes fails to show itself where one might most have expected to find it.
