The Lynching In Tennessee, Of the lynching of the seven negroes in Tennessee on Friday, the following ac? count is given in adispatch dated Satur? day : "The sheriffstarted with his men but when he reached the door leading to the street he was met by an armed mob of about two hundred, men, who rushed upon him, presented pistols to his head, and seized the colored prisoners. The sheriff was utterly powerless to protect them, and the trembling wretches were surrounded and seized almost before they reached: the door. The lights in the court housed were all extinguished by order of the 1 ynchers/ and' then, they marched the negroes up the stairs to the second story, in the front of which there is a balcony overlooking the street. The court-room during this time was packed with people who had been present at the trial, and in order to intimidate them the lynchers fired their pistols in the air, making a report ?s loud as though a regiment of infantry had shot off their rifles. The mob hurried the colored men up the stairs and oucon the balcony. Not a word was spoken except to give the necessary orders by the leader of the gang. When the balcony was reached ropes with nooses were produced, and the nooses were quickly thrown over the heads of the doomed men and drawn tight enough to prevent any chance of their slipping and releasing the victims.' All the negroes except Elder seem to have been paralyzed by the first attack of their enemies, and they submitted quietly and without a struggle to the inhuman treat? ment of the lynchers. James Elder fought hard for his life, but he was over? powered in a moment. A dozen strong and determined men pressed him down to the floor, bound his hands and his feet with ropes, and then secured the noose, around his neck. The five men were swung over the balcony almost at the same time, and left to hang until life was extinct. Tbe clynchers guarded the bodies until they were satisfied that ev? ery man was dead, when the leader gave the order, * "Disperse men," and then, descending the stairway in a sold column they passed into the street, made their . way to their horses, and galloped, out of town in three different directions. ^ *Wbene the Tyncbers left-Springfield they divided into three sections going in j different directions. It was surmised that the work of the night had not been completed, and that Murphy and Duffy were to be added to the five corpses which were swinging from the balcony of the court house.. This surmise was justi? fied byHihe revelations of to-day." One of the parties-rode off in the direction of the house where Laprade was killed, near which it was known that Murphy and Duff were roaming. This morning Duffy was found hanging to a tree.on the road to Laprade-'s house. A detachment of militia were supposed to be on duty to guard the lives of the five men on trial, and this detachment gave a parade in front of the courts house just before dark last night. .At sunset a heavy thunder I storm set in, and the valient troops, as? suming that the lynch era were as delicate as themselves, and would not risk a wet- j ting, deserted their post and left the pris? oners to their fate. . The crime, the sequel of which they furnished, was one of the most butal-ever perpetrated in this State, and had its au? thors met their death at the hands of law no sympathy would have been was? ted on them. - L. 3. Laprade was a wor? thy bachelor farmer, living on bis farm near Saddlersville, about seventeen miles from Springfield, and the impression was general throughout the neighborhood that he* was* very wealthy, and that he kept a great deal of money concealed in his house. He led a sort of hermit, life, and the report was current just before the murder that he and his brother had fallen heir to $9,000, his share of which he had secured and kept with him in bis house. This rumor was the temptation to the brutal murder which has just been expiated. On the nig lit of September 8, 1880, niue negroes prowled around La prade's house until they felt sure that nobody but himself was at home, and then approaching the door cautiously knocked. To Laprade'* question as- to who wanted him one of the negroes, imi? tating the voice of La prude's brother, succeeded in inducing the farmer to open his door. No sooner had be done so than a rope was thrown around his neck and he was dragged out into the yard, where the nine men set upon him and kicked 'and pounded him without mercy, de? manding his money. He gave them $5, protesting that it was all the money which he had, but they refused to take bis word, and banged him to a tree until nearly dead, when they took him down and again demanded money. Upon bis giving the same answer they banged him again until life was nearly.gone, and then foiling* to'gain their purpose, they muti? lated -bis body in a shocking manner with knives, and dragged him about the yard by the rope, which was still fastened to his neck. Finally one of the brutes, seized on an axe in a' fit of rage and crushed the skull of Laprade, thus mer? cifully putting an end to his misery. The body was then hidden in a thicket, but two days after the butchers removed it and threw it into a sink-hole twenty feet deep. Col. Preston of South Carolina. The National Republican contains among its reminiscences of old times in Washington this: "Colonel Preston of South Carolina, was one of the most brilliant Statesmen of the day. His likeness, by Healy, in the Corcoran. Gallery, gives a poor idea of him. * He was one of tho handsomest men in the. Senate, and the wittiest. No man in Congress bore a purer record; it was without 'a stain. An anecdote of him, which.1 have neVer- seen- in'~ print, occursvto-me^at this^inoment :!l "He was standing one day in the Congressional Library, pouring over the contents of a volume, when two lady acquaintances hove in sight. "There is Mr. Preston," cried one of them, rushing up to the Senator. "Dear Mr. Preston,you promised to escort me to the Capitol, and here you are reading a book." "I will escort you over," said the gal-, lant Senator; "but where do you wish me to take you?" "I thiuk you may take me to the ro? tunda and then to the crypt." "But the crypt is very dark and krne ly?" suggested the modest Senator. "Never mind," replied the vivacious lady, "I am not afraid to go with you." "Mr. Preston gazed steadily at the lady for a brief second, and then said in his Seculiar sarcastic manner: "What confi ence! what trust! Ob, woman, great is thy. faith 1" Colonel Preston had a great respect for old age. One evening, while attend? ing an entertainment at Curusi's saloon ?then the only public hall in Washing? ton?he observed an agecj man, respecta? bly dossed, standing in the aisle, while .every one else was comfortably seated. The Colonel rose and politely insisted on his taking his place. "Mr. Preston," whispered a friend, nudging his elbow, "do you know you have given up your scat to one of those d?d abolitionists?" "T can not help it," said Colonel Pres? ton, firmly. "If it were the devil himself it wouldn't make a particle of differ? ence?' ? The next general election iu Vir? ginia takes place on the fourth Thursday in May. The officers to be elected are county officers, and as follows: The clerks of the circuit and county courts for terras of six years each, and supervisors, justices of the peace, constables and overseers of the poor, for a term of two year?. T A Terrible Combat-Two Old Physi? cians Fight Like Cats, The other night Drs. Snort and Bil ki?s, two of the oldest physicians in the country, met at a hotel in Cleveland. They wereou a journey and their meeting was accidental. , /'We-mustoccupy the same room," in? sisted Dpf Snort. "It has been so long since I met an old-time doctor that the occasion shall retain pleasant memories." "Nothing would give me greater pleas? ure,", answered Dr. Bilkins. "It is pleas? ant to meet a genuine physician.'' The two old men were shown to a ro'qm, where,.with bright fire, they built an addition to an acquaintance begun when Ohio was uot regarded as the great State of Presidential production. "There are a great many tricks in the medical profession uow," said Dr. Snort; "these upstart doctors are killing the people off at a shameful rate." "It wasn't so in our day," replied Dr. Bilkirt's; "a boy nineteen years of age wasn't engaged as a family physician then." "No; nor there wasn't that jealousy ex? isting between doctors that you find now. It's all right to talk about enterprise and young blood, but a doctor should not be too enterprising." After talking until the fire had burned oat, the two friends retired. "Speaking about young doctors," said Dr. Snort, "I have always held that the best physician is he who has the age. It is all practice any way, and I believe that a fifty-year old doctor is more reliable tharr one lo.rty-five years old." "Yes," said Bilki ns, "but after they pass fifty it dosen't make much difference." "Yes, it does. A fifty-five year-old doctor is naturally more reliable than one fifty years old." "Now, here,"- <said -Bilkinsj-'you-say that just because I am fifty and you are about fifty-five." "Ifo, I didn't think of the difference in mirages. However, in our case it is different." - |K J "Don't try to-cr?wl o?fcof it, Doctor, for you meant it as an insinuation. You can't pull wool over my eyes, for I can doctor tbe life out of you any time." , "No doubt of it. Let's.? to sleep," "Sleep the deuce," said Bilkins, turn? ing over. ,4SLir a man up'arid ^thetf tell him to go to sleep! I want you to un? derstand that I stand higher as a physi? cian than you do." ? ..; "No use to talk that way' "when you know that I can doctor the socks off you." . "That's, the trouble. You can doctor the socks off anybody. I suppose you are not aware that Busley tells it all around the neighborhood that you killed his wife." "See here," snarled Snort, "you are getting too infernal insolent for an old >man. I never intended to say anything about it, but I know one thing concerning your medical career thai is a blot on the profession. You poisoned Glaxton's child out of pure ignorance." '^otiarefarheumaticoVdliar," exclaim? ed Bilkins, springing up. "You are a wheezing old scoundrel." "You old carrion crow," yelled Snort, "I wouldn't take that from my father." "Take your hands off. I'll punch the life out of you- Take that," howled Bilkins, as be struck the. wall with his fist. Then they grappled and began a raouth-to-mouth engagement. Tbey rolled out of bed, got up, braced, grappled and fell again. Finally the uigbt porter broke open the. door, rushed in and lit the gas. Dr. Snort stood iu one corner of the room, holdingja chair. Dr. Bilkins stood on the bed with a boot in his hand. "Drive that madman out," -exeUwmed Snort. "He has been trying to murder me." "He is is an old liar," vociferated >"Bil kins-; "he tried to ? poison -me/-?hoot bim. Call the police and let them kill hina." Several men, disturbed by the noise, entered the room, and the two old friends were compelled to occupy different apart? ments. The aflair has created a profound sensation, and warrants'of arrest have been issued/or the old-time physicians.? Clevefand Leader. Blame's Picture of Oonkliug. [Drawn in 1866, when the New York repre? sentative refused to give W?.y to the Maine representative, saying: I "No, s'lr,'J do not wish to have anything to do with the member from Maine, not even so much as to yield him the floor."] As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, I hope he will not be too severe. The con? tempt of that large-minded gentleman is so wilting; his haughty disdain, hi* grandiloquent swell, his majestic, super eminent, overpowering.' -tjSJrkey-gobler strut, has been so crushing to; myself and all the members- of this House;- that I know it was an act of the greatest temer? ity forme to venture.upon a controversy with him. Batrfsir,*! Know who is re? sponsible for all this. I know tbat within the last five w*elcs, as members of the House will recollect, an extra, strut has characterized tbe gentleman's (bear? ing. It is not his fault. It is the fault of another. That giftt d and satiri? cal writer, Theodore Tiltbnj of the "New York Independent, spent come weeks recently, in this city. His letters pub? lished in that paper embraced, with many serious statements, a little jocose satire, a part of which was the statement that tbe mantle of the late Winter Davis had fallen upon the member from New York. The gentleman took it seriously, and it has given his strut an additional fomposity. The resemblance is great, t is striking.

As 1 drove down tbe. avenue after Gar field bad been declared duly elected, I saw at tbe window of tbe National Hotel a man's face, looking vacantly out over the crowd. A pale . face, with strong jaws, shaven cheeks and smoothly-parted hair; the window was closed and fas? tened, and there he sat, who had four years ago been one of the rioted Elec? toral Commission?Justice Clifford of the Supreme bench?his memory gone; bis fine mind so feeble tbat he is not able to dictate his resignation. He is kept a prisoner in his room, watched over by the dearest wife that ever a man bad. Tbey say she is so changed that her friends would not know her, she has aged so fast since this affliction has fallen on her brilliant husband.? A few days ago. the invalid-:escaped from the care of his nurse and wander? ed out through the halls of tbe hotel, looking pitifully into faces ti at he did not remember, although they were the faces of old friends. He was goihg to court, he said, when one of them detained him ; in a few moments his nurse was after and led him back, without resistance,' into his room, and there he sits?occu? pied with what vagaries??while the endless crowd surges through the'streets; dreaming, who shall ever know of what? ?tbe while a new leader conies up to tbo Presidency; anew race of giants possess the land in which he was an honored and marked public man, filling a great place in tbe Nation's history but yesterday.? Washington Letter. ? Seven American prisoners in jail at El Paso del Norte, Mexico, became con? vinced that they were to be shot, and made a desperate break for the American shore and liberty on Friday. Three of tbem were killed, and the others recap? tured. Six of the guard were wounded. Other Americans who aided tire prisoners ajre being ariostfcd. Valuable Papers. Townseod was right when he said that Bennett could check on the Herald weekly IbrSlO.OOO and still havca surplus left over each week. The net profits of the Her? ald are not-less than $750,000 per annum, ?.nd Bennett's income is not far from one million a year. Even with such an in? come as this though it requires some nerve to plank down $100,000 a3 a gift to Ireland and then turn about and antago? nize Irish by a fight on the Irish politi? cians. An offer of $3,000,000 cash has been made for the Herald, but I doubt if 810,000,000 could buy it. If Bennett does not marry sonu it will become inter? esting to inquire into what control this vast and powerful paper will pass. Will Jay Gould get it and prostitute it to stock jobbery ? There has been a remarkable growth in the value of newspapers in the past twenty years, especially city journals. Editors have castofT the vestment of pov? erty, abandoned the haunts and habits of Bohemia, and become rich and respectable, losing some crispness.. perhaps, and merg? ing brilliant characteristics into a gen? eral family likeness, butgaining in wealth and position. The shares of the Tribune that were $1,000 par, are now worth $12, 000, and are not for sale. The shares of the Times are now worth $16,000, and the paper could not be bought for 81, 200,000, which has been offered. The Sun is a gold mine, and it is said clears from $300 to $500'a day on the sale of its papers alone. The Herald uo doubt, loses money on its circulatiou, but its im? mense advertising makes it up. The Sun could be published at large profit without a line of advertising. Mr. Dana's coun? try residence and its belongintrs costs nearly $200,000. George W. ?bilds, of the Philadelphia Ledger, is worth about $6,000,000, aud bas given away hundreds of thousands. Mr. A. S. A bei 1, of the Bal? timore Sun, is worth ?15.000,000. Beach of the New York Sun left about half a million, and Henry J. Raymond left as much more. Charles Rogers, of the Boston Jonrnal, died worth a million and a half, and William Swain, one of the founders of the penny press, left three millions behind him when he died. Halleck, of the Journal of Commerce, left over a million. These are but a few of the editors who have got into the higher key.?H. W. Qrady in Atlanta Constitu? tion. Bedford Park, London.?The new suburb which has thus come into exis 1 tence swiftly, yet so quietly that the building of it bas not scared the nightin? gale I heard yesternight nor the skylarks singing while I write, has gone far toward the realization of son e aims not its own, ideals that have hitherto failed. There is not a member of it who would not be star? tled, if nob scandalized, a: any suggestion that he or ishe belonged to a community largely socialistic. They would allege, with perfec t truth, that they are not even acquainted with the majority of their neighbors, have their own circle of friends and go on with their business as men and women of the world. Nevertheless, it is as certainly true that a degree in social evolution is represented by Bedford Park, and tbatitis in' the direction of that co? operative life whichanimatcd the dreams of Pere Enfantin and Saint-Simon. All society, indeed, must steadily and nor? mally advance in that direction. For a longtime there have been tendencies to put more and more of the domestic work out up?n establishments which all have in common. As one baker prepares bread for many families, and one laundry washes for many, aud the railway, omni hus, cab, ply for many, soother accommo? dations needed by ail are found to be within reach of the co-operative princi? ple; even the luxuries of life are found to be largely within reach of it. This vil? lage has been rendered possible by that principle, though it had another aim. Houses of similar architecture have in recent years been built here and there in London and other cities, but they have probably cost their owners a third more than they have cost here, because the Jarge-ouraber of families which agrped to buy or rent houses enabled the landlord and founder of Bedford Park to make large, therefore coraparitivcly cheap, ar? rangements for the supply of materials and labor, elsewhere special or exception? al. By this means one of the chief advan? tages of co operation was to some extent secured. We have.also our co-operative stores; our newspapers and current liter? ature are obtaned in common ; wc have billiard-rooms, tennis lawns, club conven lenciesr, end entertainments to a consid? erable^ extent,in common;.and perhaps by Che time this paper is read the Tabard may be supplying the table d'liolc at a rate sufficiently.moderate to placea daily din? ner within reach of families who may find that desirable. Thus the co-operative principle bas shown its applicability to the requirements of the cultured class, who are especially interested in making for their families beautiful homes, with out,ji3 Thoreau said, sacrificing life to its 'means*. "Tncbm'es are largely increased I when they, need no, longer be expended ran the physical appliance of comfort be? yond the actual advantage derived. To keep a private carriage iu order that it may be used an hour or two each day is not economy, if an equally good carriage be hired-far the hours needed. Now and then wephear a-Httle gossip when some of thedishes at a distinguished dinnerpar? ty are suspected of having been prepare by Duclos instead of a private chef, but the tendency of refined society is to smile still more at large outlays for ostentation. But while in some regards Bedford Park must be considered a socialistic vil liage, it is almost the reverse of any com? munity which has been so called hitherto and is far away from the rocks on which most of them have been wrecked. No step in the planting or development of the .village has been artificial, or even prescribed; each institution has appeared in response to a definite want. It was not in consequence of any original scheme that the co operative stores, the club, or tba Tabard Inn Were built. Ther entire freedom of :the village and ofits inhabitants is unqualified by any theory whatever, whether social, political, or economic?M. D. Cjpnwatf, in Harper's Magazine for?tarch. -'--''.i yjfi -. With Hyi>roehobia.?Ncio York, Feb. 9.?About a month ago three chiK dren of Cbas. T. Lee, of Newark,.were bit ten by a large masUnr dog belonging to Ferdinand Krender,'. a; neighbor. The dog at lacked Minnie Lee,*' bright child, of nine years, aild tore be flesh in several places. Her, brother Cbarlie, nged ten, bravely tried to save her. He threw his arms about the dog's neck, and attempted to pull him away from her. Finally, the dog drew his teeth out of Minnie's left cheek and fastened them in the boys arm. The children got clear of the animal at last, but fifteen minutes la'er Paul Lee, and older brother, was set upon by the same dog and bitten in the hand. About the same time another child, living on Blum street, was bitten by Krender's beast. Kremier refused to allow the dog to be killed, and threatened to shoot any one ' who harmed it. He was after? ward indicted for keeping a dangerous dog. and having been convicted, was told by Judge McCarter that he must kill the dog or go to prison. On Monday the Court received-proof that the dug had been ?hol and thereupon suspended sen? tence. At noon yesterday Minnie Lee began to act queerly.and last evening she was wild with hydrophobia. She frequently called for water, and when it was brought, dashed it away and leaped frantically upon persons about her. Her parenis were overcome with grief. Mr. Lee left the house at 5 o'clock without saying anything, and was still unaccountably absent more than two hours later. It was feared that his mind was unset by tire sbxWkv Beer is EuRorE.?borne weeks ago we gave the reports of the commissioner of internal revenue, the statistics of the production and consumption of beer in the United Stales for the fiscal year JSSO. The Journal of Applied Science enables us to supplement these statistics with simi? lar ones from Europe. England is the largest consumer in "Europe, having 2G.214 breweries, an annual product of 1,050,000.000 gallons, and a consumption per head of 34 gallons, equal to 250 pints per head per year. Germany has 23,000 breweries, annual product 900,000,000 gallons, annual per capita consumption 22 gallons. The annual consumption per capita in Austria is 7} gations, in Belgium 3 gallons, in Denmark 12 gal? lons, in Norwav 8 gallons, &c. This total of 2,716,500,000 gallons of beer made in Europe represents an annual consumption of beer amounting to 213, 200,000 bushels of barley?the food of 40,000,000 people?and 87,000,000 pounds of hops. These figures tell their own tale of the cost of our beverages. ? When it was known that Garfield was elected there was naturally great re? joicing in the Departments, for a large majority of the employees are Republi? cans, who felt that they had a new lease on their positions. As an expression of their gratification they resolved to deco? rate the buildings in which they were employed. The plan received the sanc? tion and the hearty aid of the heads of the Departments. When they were ar? ranging the flags in one room some one prepared to fasten the end of a piece of bunting bearing the national colors to the desk at which sat a young lady from Mississippi. She refused to allow it to be attached to her desk. A tempest in a tea pot ensued over this foolish little matter. The case was reported to Secre? tary Sherman, and he, with a petulance which surpassed that of the iutractable girl, dismissed her from her place, merely for this little display , of unreasonable temper. The Mississippi delegation signed a petition for her reinstatement, and personally urged the Secretary to re? store her, but he stubbornly refuses to do so, and the girl will have to wait for the next Secretary, who may not be so stern. ? Mr. A. Pope, the general passenger agent of the Railroads in North and South Carolina and Virginia, is "lending his aid to the work of immigration. He has arranged a system of cheap rates of fare for immigrants; and in other ways he is doing all he cau to induce immigra? tion. ? Gen. Garfield has again declared that he will not turn good oflicers out merely to make place for others. Should this policy be adhered to there will be thousands of bitterly disappointed men in Garfield's party: But it will lift Gen. Garfield himself high in public esteem. ? Washington Post.
