aprjearance riveted universal attention. ; Here is the portrait done as aeeurasel: Jy as pen can sketch it : A .figure tall, lean, sinewy and - straight as an arrow ; a brow massive soaring and smooth as polished marble, intersected by a large blue vien, forked like the tongue of a serpent; eyes reddish" yellow, resembling a wrathful - , eagle, 'as'"brillian t. a3 fearfully piercing and finally a moutli slight, cold and

All now could preceive that there must be some mvsterious connection between the two, and the scene assumed the profound interest of a genuine romance. The stranger addressed the Court in accents as sonorous as the tongue of an' organ. ',31ay it please your honor, I will de ..- fenl the legal rign ts of the lady."

We-will briefly' epitomize the substance of the evidence. About 12 months previously the defendent had arrived in the town and opened an establish ment of ' millinerv. Residing in a

small, back room of the shop, and all alone she prepared the various articles of her trade with unwearied toil and consumate tas te. H r habits were secluded, modest aud retiring : and hence she might have hoped to escape notoriety but for the peculiar gift ot that extraordinary beauty which too often to the poor and friendless proves a curse. She was soon sought after by those fire-flies of fashion, the business of whose life everywhere is seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected them allalike with unutterable scorn and loathing. . . Among these disappointed admirers were one of a character from which

the fair milliner had everything to fear. Hiram Shore" belonged to a family , at once opulent, influential

and diasinafed. He was himself licen

tious, brave and revengeful, and a duelist of established and terribletame. It was generally known that he harl made advances to win the favor of the lovely Emma, and had shared the fate

of all her other wooers a disdainf ul repulse. ... . At 9 o'clock on Christmas eve,lS38, the people of Little Rock .were startled by a loud'-seream, as if from some one in mortal terror; while following that, with hardly an interval, came successive reports of . firearms one, two, three a dozen deafening explosions. They flew to the shop of the milliner, whence the sounds em

anated, and pushed1 back - the unfastened door. A ' dreadful scene was presented. There she stood in the center ot the room, with a revolver in each hand, every barrel discharged, her features pale, her eyes flash! n g wildly and. her lips .i parted with n smile! And there at her feetf welter

ing in his warm blood, his bosom literally riddled with shot, laid the alldreaded duelist Hiram Shore, gasping in the last agony i He articulated but a single sen tenee : "Tell my mother that Hhn dead and gone to hell!" and instantly expired. : "In GodVname, who did this? exclaimed the appalied'Spectators., ... "I did it," said the beautiful milliner, in her sweet, silvery accents, " did it to save my honor." . Sueh is the brief abstract of the essential circumstances, as developed on the examination of ,wi tnesses. The testimony closed and the pleading beFirst of all, Fowler, Pike and Ashly (all famous lawyers at that time in the southwest) spoke in succession for the prosecution. They about equally partitioned their eloquence betwixt the prisoner and he advocate, covering the latter with such sarcastic wit, raillery and ridicule as to make it a matter of doubt whether he or his client was the party then on trial . As to Denton, however, he seemed to xay not the-slightest attention to his op? ponents, but remained motionless, with his forehead bowed on. his hands, like one buried in deep.thought or, in slumber. . When his time came, however, he suddenlysjrang to his feet, crossed the bar and took a position almost touching the foreman of the jury. He then

analjrzing and combining the proven facts, till the whole mass of confused

evidence looked transparent as a globe

oi crystal through which the innocence of his client shone luminous as a sunbeam, while the jurors, nodded to each other signs of thor

ough convicdon. . That thrilling whis

per, and' concentrated argument, and language simple as a child's, had satisfied the demands of the intellect and this, too, in only twen ty nr u utes. It was like the work - of a. mathematical demonstration. .,' v-- ..... He . then changed his posture s; as to sweep the bar with his glance7 and, like a raging lion, rushed upon hfc adversaries, tearing and rending their sophistries into atoms. His sallow face glowed like red hot iron, "the forked blue five veins swelled' ana writhed on his brow, his eyes resembled live coals, an d his voice was the clangor of a trumpet. I have never before or since i istened to , such appalling den up citation. It was like Jove's eagle chargin'ff a flock of crows It was like Jovo

himself hurling thunderbolts in the. sh uddering eyes of inferior gods. And yet in the highest temper of his fury he seemed wonderfully calm. J-Ie env ployed no gesture save one, the flash of a long bony forefinger directly at the pallid faces of bis legal loe?. .He painted their venality and uu manly baseness in coalescing for money to crush a friendless female, till a shout of mailed wrath broke from the multitude, and some of the svorn panel cried "Shame I" And thus thej Orator had carried another pointluxd aroused a perfect storm of indignation against the, prosecutors-7-and this, also,4 in twenty, minutes. ,;: He changed his theme once more His voice grew mournful as a funeral, dirge and his eyes filled with -tears, as he traced a vivid pieture of man's cruelties and woman's wrongs, with special ap plications to the ease of his client, till half the audience wept like children. . V ' But it was in the peroration that he reached the zenith both of terror and sublimity. His features were livid as those of a corpse ; his very hair appeared to stand on end; his nerves shook as with palsy; he tossed his hand3 wildly toward heaven," each finger spread apart and quivering like the flame of a candle, as he closed with the last words of the deceased Hiram Shore. "Tell my mother that 1 am dead and jione to hell !" His emt)hasis of the'word hell em bodied t heel emen hi of all" horror. It was a wail of im

measurable despaira wild howl of infinite torture.' IsTo language can depict its effect on ail who heard it. Men groaned, women shrieked, and the pbor mother was borne away in convulsions, lhe entire speech lasted but an hour. The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" without leaving, the box, and th we tremendous cheers, like successive shocks of an earthquake, shook tne courthouse from dome to cornerstone, testifying the joy of - the people. At the, same moment the beautiful milliner bounded to her feet and clasped the triumphant advocate, in her arms, exclaiming, "O, my husband! my, dear husband!" 'Denton emiled, seized her hand, whispered a word in her ear, and the two left the bar together, proceeded to the landing and embarked on a fiteamboat bound for New Orleans. It seems

that they previously parted on account of hi3. causeless jealousy, after which

she had assumed a false name and come to Little Eocb. How he learned

Boasted Alive. Richmond (Va.) Special. : A. horrible holocaust occurred at Jackson Springs, Moore county, Monday night. During the severe storm a party of men working on turpen tine were working in the woods. They built a shed and made it as substantial as possible, piling up on the roof heavy layers of earth and hickory poles, keeping the whole secure by a layer of the largest rock they could find. In the center of this they built a large fire, and about 11 o'clock huddled together ground the fire, which had been replenished with fresh log3. There were ten men in the place then, alt sleeping soundly when the horrible trap fell in with its mass of rock and earth roof, with sharpened laths and hickory billets, upon the sleepers. . The floor being covered with beds oJ leaves and straw, and the sides being made of interlaced dry twigs and leaves, and there being a barrel ol turpentine in the place, the heap caught from the fire and soon transformed the place into a furnace burning at white heat. James. Jarret t aud William Vex were sleeping near the outlet, and were both foarfully crushed. Vex succeeded first in extricating himself. Although "a large log ,vas across his stomach, he crawled from the mass, so badly hurt and iaint that he only managed to drag himself ten feet from the place, when he lost consciousness, and when. he revived he saw streaks of flames shooting up from, the pile 'and heard -the voice of Jarrett crying "Help me, for God's sake! Iam roasting!" He realized the horror of the situation, and pulled himself by his hands (one of his legs were broken and he could not walk) to the place, and succeeded in getting Jarrett out, but that was all he could do. His companion was more seriously injured than himself, one foot being literally roasted oft and his left shoulder dislocated. The survivors

were, too helpless to venture near the place agairi . The flames shot higher, and they heard agonizing shrieks from two of their companions imprisoned in the burning -heap. Boon the screams gave way to groans, then no sound was heard, only the roar of the flames. The two survivors' sufferings were intense, not only from their injuries but the cold. This morning they were found and brought to Carthage. The blackened skeletons of mx of their companions were found in one place, nnd iu another corner two half-roasted bodies pinned to the earth by the sharpened laths of pine which had gone through their bodies. Jarrett can not possibly recover;

attained, in spite of freezing cold bath rooms, by people who care enough for

it to fake extra trouble with a small

quantity of water in a room. A glass of ardent liquor is a wretched pre

ventive of cold. It will quicken the

circulation-for a, few moments and di

minish it for an hour after. The bulk in bread of a glass of beer is more warming than the liquor and only costs a quarter as much ; tho same comparison may be made between spirits and moat. It is almost impossi

ble for a person who sits indoors all

day to remain warm, but a few minutes out of doors, just long enough to

have the system treated enough by the cold toT rouse its powers of resis

tance, will iusure acorn 'ortable day

thereafter if the house is ... fail ly tight. It will be noticed that the lady who does her own marketing and tho man

who walks from his house to his place

If the above suggestions are acted upon and supplemented by an ample midday meal i no nutter how plain, the weather's terror will soon be forgotten. . : m 9 m -7 King Coffee and the British. London Telegraph. Another African i;difflculty"has just arisen. It is slat' d that King Coilee, of Ashanhre, has 4drclared war" against England. Whether that be so or not, he certainly eeema to have taken a long stride toward the offensive." Telegrams from Cape Coast Castle report that this 'Ambassador" demauded from the British authority the surrender of a refugee native chief, grandly notifying at the same time that, if the request were refused, "the Colonial Government must take the consequences." The Governor, of course, politely declined to gratify his1 sable Majesty of Goomassie, who, if he keeps his word, will forthwith makei war. By way of precaution, the Gov-i eraor had placed 'a company of Hous4 sars, with three guns, at Prabsuie,' and no doubt the west coast squadron has, by this time, put itself into posijtion to render help, should tho bellicose monarch in! fill his threat. The news is very disagreeable, not only in itself, but because there are so many troubles, actual or imminent, within the large sphere under control of her Majesty's

Government, we arc tempted co ask

whether King Coffee reads the news

papers, keens his eve on affairs in Eu

rope aud Asia as well as Africa, and whether ho has chosen his time for

".the 'great revanche." Perhaps he has

heard of the Greek, Boer, Irish, Afghan and Turkomau questions, ana

hopes, bv striking in now, to. compel

the restoration of the famous umbrella

which adorns the Mouth Kensington Museum. At any rate, his audacity may be most vexatious, should it lead him to invade the colony. One Ashau-

enough, and we may hoj:e, for everybody's sake, that means will be found

Agairr, in spite of what the statesmen migb , sa.y of the science of Government, or the diplomat say of diplomacy, yon will, admit that the value of the emancipation proclamation depended upon the success of the Union arms; that all legislation was purely incidental to the success or failure of the armies iu the held. If tlie fates of war had fuvorcd the South it, would have necessitated different legislation- Had right of secession t een established, you can't say whether two States or twenty would have remained united. Under the baleful influence of disastrous defeat; three billious of debt hanging over us ; with conflicting sectional, interest; with the ill-will ot: every .tyrant ruler, whose lease of power depends entirely upon the failure of our Republic under these an l other influences every lover of freedom would tremble for the re -suit. The world's history is a record of royalty, nobility conquerors, dignitaries of the church, aud ruling aristocrats. The Generals of our war have Lltelr cup or glory lull, and some of them are runnin r over, if history is to be trusted, and tot me say THE WAR DID DEVELOP GREAT COM!

But if you look down the long .line of Geuerals you will see many more , archers than heavy-armed troopers Perhaps, too, some i ai pious wretch would refuse io kneel at the shrine of buttons and feathers, and intimate that the worthies wee playing the jackdaw. The speaker then proceeded to draw from his war recollections, saying that Shiloh was one of the fiercest battles of the war, neatly 30,000 men being lost, including friend and foe. The paper then went into a description of that dreadful figh'; as participated in by theFiftyeventh, and other Illinois regiments. "There is not a lire," said the speaker, "in the archives at

Washington to show that you fired a

guu, or lost a raftM. But the objections to the written histories are not confined to this clafss of omissions, for there: are descr iptions o 1' bat ties where every line i a perversion of the truth. I citfj, as an instance of this, the narrative of the battle of Corinth, as found in Lossing's Pictoral History I say

this book, because tlie writer claims to have visited tho battle-iieldn prior to

Ata meeting of the Geo. H. Thomas Post Grand iinny of the Republic, Comrade J. F. Johnson, referring to the histories of the rebellion that have already appeared, took the broad ground that the true history of the war had nevei yet received justice at tho hands of bistorts ns, and on this point we candidly and thoroughly agree with Mr. Johnson. Toward the close of the war there were hundreds upon hundreds of men in tin uniform of the

private soldier just as capable of commanding brigades, divisions, and even corps de anuie, as.wer those who did

com mane I. Those w b o w i tnessed the intelligence displayed by the men during the two years preceding the close of the war and the collapse of the rebellion, will, if tbey axe" honest men. acknowledge this fact. Mr. ,1ohuson'& statement that a new history of the war was a bo u t to be pu bl isiht d u u d er the auspices of the Federal Government, hs date to be taken from the

records of the war on file in the departments. Mr. Johnson the. i proceeded in brief as follows: "The Grand Army of the Republic will not have a better opportunity to fulfill the best part of its mission, than by seeing that the troops of the war are fairly treated, and that they have their

due prominence in the records of the history that bears the official seal of the Government, We have already a number of histories by eminent writers, who, doubtless, wore also patriotic citizens, but if we are to have additional works of this class, let them; be written from a truer stand poim;, or they, too, will be nigh worthless, Ir. behalf of the history wc should have, I will

speak of the defects of tnoae already in existence. I neither intend to mince objectious,upT to be arrogant i;n my assertions, but simply to mstat that from the standpoint of my conception and experience my argument is true.". In commencing to verify this statement, the speaker said: "The whole plan of our war histories hi wrong in conception, and far behind the genius

of the Government .and times; in this, .that it .daces the past performed by the armies, the masses of the people as wholly incidental to political debates, or State'poJicy, or some; other form of wind that has alwaysi made a great noise in the world and done very little good, "Take, for instance, GRE ELY'S 'AMERICAN CONFLICT,'

Since l am not writing a history of the

battle, but simply showing that coming history should be better than those

we already have, .1 will refrain from further incidents, but the noble cause should not be allowed tosuffei because

I perhaps have failed to give a good expression to the case. Now, in conclusion, if we owe anything to THE MEMORY OF OUR D15AD COMRADES. wo cannot better express it than by seeing to it that their deeds of valor are correctly put upon tho records, upon anything that bears the name of the history of the struggle. Go to the cemeteries of any or the battle-fields, and while (be little'mounds and white marble slabs show i;be loving hands, of a grateful Nation, if you will but step

approval to history that, by its misrepresentations or contemptuous silence, says that it also never knew them. Upon their sacrifice stands the structure of all our present enjoyments. With their life they gave everything, received no thing, asked nothing. Their patriotism, expressed by deeds, is the brilliant set in golden silence, the sun, the dew to the rose whose aroma perfumes the air we breathe.77

How To Sow Orchard Grass. Last spring I had prepared a field for

early sowing of spring barley in order that I might get the land well set in clover and orchard grass. After harrowwing and cross harrowing with a Scotch harrow, the ground was in perfectorder, I started a Buckeye: drill putting in the barley and clover seed. I followed sowing orchard grass-seld aiming to cover, the width of the drill audto get thejsced into a good seed-bed. I was delighted with the manner my seedling was going on, when , suddenly the wind sprang up and I could not sow the grass-seed, In my disappointment a happy thought struck me. Why can't the fertilizer sow orchard grass seed? I asked. X put in .11 half gallon of seed, and shut off the feed to the last notch, and started up the team.

Imagine my delight, old farmer, wnen I saw the barley, the clover-seed, and the orchard gras seed, each in its own way, coming put; as evenly as machinery can work. To-day I have the best stand of clover and orchard grass it has ever been my pleasure to behold. Human hands cannot sow clover or orchard grass seed so well. One of the great troubles in seeding with orchard and blue grass is now overcome. If the farmer is sowiug a fertilizer, he can mix with it either of these seeds if he wishes to sow them. As these two seeds are so light and difficult to start, I think this mixlug with a fertilizer will greatly aid us in getting :i good stand. It is worth trying. "

A lady, a friend of mine, was at one time Matron of a hospital for poor women and children which was maintained by subscription. One of the inmates was a blind girl who was not there as a patient, bu t temporarily till a home could be ., found for her. She had learned to feed herself, and at meal times a tray containing her dinner was placed on her knees as she sat iu a comfortable. chair for her special convenience in feeding herself. One day while she was eating, the pet cat of the establishment placed herself before the giii and looked long and earnestly at her, so earnestly that tho Matron,' fearing the animal meditated some mischief to the girl, took- her rut of the room. Again the next day, at the same hour, the cat entered the room, but this time walked quietly to the girl's side, reared herself on her hind leg, and noislessly, stealthily, reached out her paw to the plate, selected and seized a morsel that pleased her, and, silently asshe came; departed to enjoy her stolen meal. The girl never noticed her loss, and when told of it by her companions laughed very heartily. It is evident that the cat from observation had entirely satfcfied herself that the girl could not see, and by a process of reasoning decided she could steal a good dinner by this practical use of her knowledge. Resources of JSforth Carolina. North Carolina, lib Virginia lies in terraced lope, -from the highest range of the Appalachan chain to the sui t marshes of the seacoast,and is also like the neighboring state, usually divided into belkr of the same namesTidewater, the Middle, County, Piedmont, aud the'Blue Ridge. In geology ana productions, the belts correspond with those in Virginia, but the climate of North Carolina ranges about ten degree;highfr at any giv'n altitude. There has always been a popular belief in the North that this State" was poor in natural resources. But this is not so. Mineralogists of late years make piigrimasres to her mountains as toja treasurehouse of riches, a.tad shrewd Northern capitalists since 1874 have been investing largely in her timber and

mineral land.; In. the lilue ttidge celt there are stores of gold,silver,irout copper, and marble which, Prof. Kipg reports, "seen; limitless;" white Prof. Overman declares that the gold mines in this district, under propper management, would yield more than those of California. The Catawba grape l is a native of this section, and a hundred of her varieties of native grapes have been found, many of them superior to the Catawba. There are in the highlands no potato" bugs, mosquitoes, or chinchbtigs:; but tne plague of She country is tteas, A Haunted School-House. Says tne Dubuque (Iowa) Herald : A wei rd and star tlin g story comes fro m Shen ill's Mound, Dubuque, county, to the effort .that one of the schools in that' well-known vicinity has been dismissed on account of the building being haunted. It appears that one of the scholars, a. girl about fourteen vears old, is the especial "butt" of the spirit that haunts the building. Sue frequently exclaims: "There he is!" nnintimr in an invisible obiect in the

rooinTwbieh she says is a man. He has hit me again!" she cries out fright here on the elbow and on my ribs." The teacher, being thus constantly annoyed, sent for a pastor to unravel the mystery, if possible. When he arrived the little girl, whose name is withheld, said she saw a man running about, the school-house, jumping over desks, sea's and the heads of scholars, and cutting up all sorts of antics, even to pinching and striking her.
