About twelve or fifteen years ago Abbeville ounty lost a citizen in the person of George lunday, a black negro, who emigrated to the iiate of Georgia, leaving a wife and an aver* ge lot of children. Leaving his wife and the dor of his name behind him, he also left his mine in .South Carolina. In the State of Gearala he started lite anew, ssuming the name of ltev. George McDuftle, nd for a period of time unknown to this eribc. expounded the scriptures near Greensoro, Ga, under the Baptist banner of faith, intil the third night of last September, when, ur reasons satisfactory to himself, he nstead of presenting the precepts, the uoral examples and the lessons of love and ood-wlll to be found in the life and charac er of t ho Prince or'fence, nppuea me aouve nergy and con vnIcing force of thecontents of uubble-barrel shot-gun. That night he lay 11 wait for the brother whom he says, "Inter red with hitn too much. A well directed im. and a prompt discharge of the contents f the shot-gun, Inflicted wounds upon the er.?on of William Chaney, which were of u? h a serious nature that he died soon therefter. The Reverend Urother immediately deterrained to transfer his labors in the Lord's lilt-yard to another field of usefulness. Le?vng his atlectionate parishioners in the tate of Georgia without the usual fornalitles In sevcrilng pastoral relations he awe to Abbeville county, where lie again handed bis name. Tins time lie called hlmeif Rev. George \V. Cothran, and took up his bode with people of his own color near fount Carmel, who aided in his concealment, 'be fugitive wrote back to some of the women f his tlock, who made known the whercbuuts of the murderer. Several ineffectual ttcmpts were made to capture him, but the iheritrs deputies could uot ilnd him. A mro who was in the secret was finally Induced >r a money consideration to reveal his thereabouts. He was surrounded and capured Friday afternoon, and now lies In Jail waiting a requisition from the Governor ol Jeorula, which will no doubt be forthcoming 11 a little while. The case seems to have excited great interst in the community where the crime was ommitted. The Sheriff of this county has eceived numbers ot letters in reference to i'C matter from theNheritl of Green county, ml other citizens. Last Thursday the Sherff of that county came here in search of the Hissing negro, but he could not then he had. L telegram dated Sunday in reply to a letter mm sherlfl' DuPre, states that the Sheriff 01 ireen county will coma for the Reverend nurderer without delay. Mr. DuPre lias been to considerable ex>ense, and it may be that he will do as the exiress company does with C. O. D., packages? lold him till costs and charges are paid. rhe Right Way to Stop the Trnflic in Seed Cotton. Bhadlkv, S. C., Oct. 5, 1887.

A. \V. P. Scrllinor'N Mncazlne for October, 1887 I Sciibner's Magazine for October has for it i leader a richly Illustrated description c I "The Paris School of Fine Arts," by Henry 0 Avery, who Is a graduate of that institution I and therefore writes from abundant know 1 ledge and with true appreciation. Thearticl opens with a brief sketch of the founding am growth of the school, describes the architec tural beauties of the buildings, and yives ai Interesting insight into the methods of in struction, and the system of prizes whicl creates such intense competition among th one thousand students. The illustration were nuulfc from the handsome photograph of the buildings, which are exclusively mad by the French Government. t This number contains the seventh and con eluding instaliuentof the Thackeray Letters > which have so completely won the praise am , even the atl'ection of the reading public li this country and England. All the letters ii ! this Instalment were written during Thaeb eray's American visits, and contain amuslni and always good-natured descriptions of tli I leading American cities in which lio lectured : Two Thackeray portraits, taken late in life . are reproduced. I "French Trails?Sense and Sentiment," b; \V. C. lirownelI, is an admirable essay, show ! ing the same acute critical faculty and clea i insight which were notable in the author' - study of the French Social instinct whleli a| - peared in the July number of Scribncr's. Professor N. S. Shaler contributes another ci > the notablo papers in his series relating t s the surface of the earth and allied topics, thi time 011 "Caverns and Cavcn Life." Profet sor Shaler describes the various groups c i caverns, clearly explaining how each variet; i has t ceil produced. lie also uives some ust I ful hints about explorations, and discusse I the modifications ol animal structure pre duccd by living iu caves. Tlie ninny lilustrsi ; tions show picturesque views of noted cav eruR, grottos, lava caves, and sea-chasms. The number contains a timely and thought f ful paper on "Municipal Governmcn," b; I Gamaliel Bradford. The author traces th , causes of existing evils in the government c our cities, una suggests some remedies. 111 r conclusions arc stated with novelty am i force. i The serial story, "Seth's Brother's Wife," b; Harold Kredi-rie (which will tie concluded ii November,)contains In this instalmenta ver; strong scene between Milton ami Annie. Iti evident that the Interest in this story is to b vigorously sustained to the very end. "The sacred Flame of Torln Ji." Mr. Ii. II House's story of Japanese life, which was be gun in September, Is concluded in this nuni her most happily. The delieutc and gracefu sentiment ol tills story has made it a mos , charming piece of fiction, which has been II lustratcd with unusual sympathy by Ueorgi | Foster Barnes's drawings. Octave Tbanet contributes a strong an( pathetic story of the Arkansas river bottoms entitled "The Mortgage on Sefly." which con 1 tains a very original motive aud fine charac ter-drawlng. Under the title of "In the Village of Viger,' 1 Mr. Duncan C. Scott coutrlbutcs severa charming character-sketches of Canudiai village life.
