At the present time, when rifle
practice and target shootlug are
attracting so much Attention, a
tragedy which has recently occur
red at Aldershotcanip, in England,
will excite unusual interest. On
Saturday morning, September 12,
Captain John Bird, of tbe Twen
tieth Hussars, wss shot dead at the
rifle ranges In tbe vicinity of the
camp by a private of bis own troop
named Thomas Smith. Tbe men
of Captaiu Bird's troop, after firing
five rounds of ball cartride at the

with several of like ilk, who had position ana nrea at mpiaiu imiu,
openly threatened vengeance who was standing at one siae ex

should Mr. Sloss seek personal re
dress, that gentleman concluded to
employ strategy. Procuring a
double-barreled shot-gun, which he
loaded with a handful of buck-shot,
he stationed himself near a second-
story window of a building which
Long frequently passed. He had
been there but a short time until
he espied the traduoerof hisdaught
ers good name coming up the street
with several boon companions,
Waiting until his man got well In
range, Mr. Sloss turned both bar
rels loose, and lodged thirteen of
the shot In the anatomy of Long,
who roll senseless to the pavement,
Long was carried home on a shut-
Lter by his friends, while Mr. Slots
surrendered himself to tbe proper
amlnlng the register. The bullet
entered under the right shoulder
and eame out close to tbe left breast.
He died' Immediately afterward.
When the sergeant called out,
" Who did that?" Smith replied,
" I did It," at ;he same time throw
ing his carbine to the ground.
There Is no doubt about the mur
der being premeditated, and there
is reason to believe that Smith in
tended to kill the sergeant-major
of the troop', who fortunately was
absent that morning. The only
reason for the murderer's hatred of
his victim, It would seem, was that
on the previous day he had been

The entire community justified
the action of Mr. Sloss, while their
sympathies were heartily extended
to Miss Mamie as a victim of a
slanderous persecution. Long soon
recovered from bis many wounds,
and a few days since was once
more on the streets. About that
time Mr. Sloss who Is an ludepen
dent candidate for re-election to
Congress started out to canvass
his district, and has since been ab
sent from hoaie.
Mrs. Sloss and Miss Msmle were
left at home alone. For some rca
sou the mother kept watch on the
daughter, whom she confined to
her bod-room In the second story of
their residence. Last Wednesday
Miss Mamie asked permission to go
down stairs for a drink of fresh wa
tcr. Mrs. 81ms, suspecting noth
ing, granted the request, and the
young lady went down stairs. Not
returning In a short time, Mrs
Sloss's suspicions became aroused,
and she weutln questof her dsugh
ter. A search of the premises only
revealed that the young lady had
got up a mysterious disappearance,
With a rare dlvlnlatlon as to the
cause and probable whereabouts of
the erring daughter, Mrs. Sloss
picked up a brace of six-shooters
and started for the office of a very
popular 'Squire, only a few squares
distant. Wheu she arrived she
found Loug and her daughter the
center of a circle of au admiring
group of friends who were extend
Ins their congratulations In the
heartiest of manners. The good
old lady leveled her artillery and de
manded her daughter or gore. She
was determined to have one or
both until the 'Squire Interposed,
and In the blandest of tones, Intro
duced her daughter as Mrs. Long
Seeing that she was too late, Mrs
Sloss proceeded to relieve her
mind, and then with her Imple
ments of warfare tucked under her
arm, sallied for home, while the
groom and bride proceeded In an
other direction.
The sequel to the almost tragedy,
taken to the guard-room after the
murder he voluntarily remarked
that " Captain Bird would give no
more seven days drill, and it would
be a warning to, others." Smith
has been for years a man of bad
character. While in India several
years ago he was tried by court
martial for threatening to shoot his
troop sergeant major, and senten
ced to a long term of Imprisonment

Profcesior Huxley, tr. his rcccut
discourso beforo the British Asso
ciation upon the automatic actious
of animals, cites tho case of a
French soldier who was wounded
in the battlo of Bouriellei by hav
ing his left parietal bone fractured
by a bullet. Ho was paralyzed on
the opposite side of the body for
two years, but is now able to
walk about with activity. Ho has
now two distlnet lives a normal
and an abnormal. His normal life
lasts about twenty-seven days out
of every month, and during this
this time he Is perfectly well, Is a
cheerful, faithful, capital hospital
nurse, and is a respectable, wcll-
behaved man in - every respect
Bnt for a day or two in every
month he passes out of this state
into another, an abnormal life,
suddenly and without warning
"In this life," says tho professor,
" he is still active, and is to all ap
pearanccs just tho sumo man as
before. Ho goes to bed, undresses
himself, gets up, makes his cigar
ette and smokcb it, and cats and
drinks as usual. But he neither
sees, nor hears, nor tastes, nor
smells, nor is conscious of any'
thlug whatever, and has" but one
active souse that of touch which
is exceedingly delicate. Ills action
is purely mechanical." He makes
and smokes his cigarettes as usual,
but they may be made of shavings
or anything else as well as tobacco
lie feeds voraciously, but his food
may be of aloes, or assafcetlda, or
From the New York Tribune.
On the 19th of May, 1873, Sena
tor Carpenter, being in New Or-
leaus as a member of the Louisi
ana Investigating Committee, ad
dressed a public meet in? of citi
zens. In the course of his remarks
ha took occasion to say that there
was no doubt in his mind that Mc
Enery had been legally elected,
but ho advised the citizens to bo
patient and wait till Congress or
dered a uow election. Ou the 19th
of 3Iay, 1873, Kcllojrg's check book
shows a record of $o00 paid Matt.
II. Curueutcr, and two davs later
another for the same amount. On
the 2Mb of July of that year Mr.
Carpenter was very conspicuous
ou the Long Branch boat and at
Long Branch, and was turned
away from the West End Hotel
for well known reasons. On the
1st of August following he wrote
to "Dear Kellogg," who was hold'
ing the office of Governor to which
ho was not elected, saying: "I am
desporatcly short. Can't you send
mo $1000? If so, it would be a
godsend." On the 15th of Decern'
ber the Committee ou Privileges
aed Elections reported a Disagree
ment in tho Piuchback case, there
belug a tie vote in the committee,
and Mr. Carpenter voting against
Pinehback, and aglnst recognizing
the Kellogg Legislature. The cou
sideration of the caso was post
poned. On the 20th of December,
five days later, the stubs iu Kcl
logg's checkbook show tho pay
mcnt to Mr Carpcutor of $1000,
Tho case was never acted upon;
the question is still open. Kellogg
is iu olllce, the validity or legality
of the Legislature which was
counted Iu with him has never
been pronounced upon, aud the
side which Mr. Carpenter has re
eclved $1600 ou is in power, while
tho persons whom ho declared le
gally elected and whom he favored
in tho Senate are waiting outside
Dates are sometimes very sug
gestive. Of courso it will not oe
cur to any woll disposed person
to connect the transactions above
cited in any way dorogntory to the
character of tho good man to
whom they relate And yet how
singular a coincidence It is that
one week after the Long Branch
excursion he should be so " dcBpo-
ately short " that $1000 vvoiild be
"godsend." And this states
man, if we rightly recall his eclo
bratod defence of tho buck-pay
grab, is one of your rollicking fel
lows who sheds his money " as the
dew fulls, on tho Just and on the
unjust." Good, easy, brllliaut
man he doesn't care how ho gets
it or where it goes.

Heat astonishment and gossip that
Tuscumbla had ever experienced.
At present, In view of all the cir
cumstances, It is thought that Long
defamed the young lady with a
view of rendering her odious In the
community, so that her parents
would consent to her marriage with
him as a compromise. The slander
had an opposite effect, as is shown,
and it was within the last few
weeks that tha two determined up
on an elopement. The absence of I tion of the moral annua la amsirirttt.

ans are cowards because they did
not fight the Federal troops, and
says be cannot respect them. To
show what oue brave, resolute, de

of the Courier-Journal Is going to
pull off his coat and whip the whole
Federal army and navy by him
self; he will then butt a first-class

N A Thankless Child.
An old man in Rochester, Now
York, mourns, over a heartless
and ii :i regenerate son, and he
thought ho Lud. reclaimed him,
too. The boy was fust, and his
father, to mend his ways, took
him into his store as a partner.
The partner did splendidly for a
time and the firm prospered. At
length tho old man thought that
his son had become weaned of his
bud habits sufficiently to bo in
trusted with money, so ho gavo
him a thousand dollars, scut him
to Troy to buy goods, and told
him to bo a good boy. The young
man fell in with some old cronies,
and they led him astray. He got
into his old ways, aud a friend of
tho senior partner, seeing how it
was, telegraphed tho old mau that
tho Junior was. doing bid. Tho
old mau more iu sorrow than hi
anger, wroto tlioso admonitory
lines to his boy :
"My Deak Son: Unless you
return to-morrow morning with
tho goods, I will dissolve partner
ship and shut up the store."
Tbe letter found tho young man
struggling with a cocktail. Ho
dashed it off, aud hurrying across
the street to a hardware store,
bought a kegof nails and.hammer.
After paying the bill aud giving
directions, ho scut tho following
dispatch :
"Deab Fathers I send per
express a hammer anu Keg nans
which may be useful to you in
closing up the store"
That father has doubtless found
"how sharper than a serpent's
tooth" thnt child is.
It being Sunimeifiul's treat, he
opened a bottle of brandy which
was rtistiiicu in iwi. oummcr
ficld's agent had found it while
traveling in France ! had induced

to keep him from making any
more Wo mourn for tho man,
but we are glad that Suninicilield
got tho brandy, for it is tho genu

to have such good liquor in the
community, becauso it shows
what science has douo for nu en
lightened public. If you fill your
chest with ordinary spirits you
have to fill yonr mouth with car
demas seed, or jour wiifo will
salute you at the door with "you

But you can take on a load of this
