J innic , the Pret ty Cracker Girl.

When Capt. La Rue of Sherman's army dashed into Blankrille, at the head of a party of raiders, one flidie summer morn­ing, MB first; impulse was to swear and his seoond was to laugh. Being a versatile young fellow of infinite reeouroes, he did both. The tired troopers saw at a glance that there waa nothing in this little north Georgia, mountain village. Of the forty or fifty houses straggling around the pub­lic sguare, not more than a dozen were oc­cupied. The majority of the inhabitants

d fled to the mountains. "You, Jinniel You, Jinniel" shouted

an old woman who had her head poked out of her cabin window.

Cap. La Eue languidly turned his head, and then a look of keen interest flashed in­to his bold black eyes. "Jinnieis worth lookinK at," said the young otBeer, after a critical survey of the alight figure swing­ing on the gate.

Jinnie had never seen any federal caval­rymen before, and inner anxiety to secure a good view, she unconsciously perched herself upon the gate in a position which showed her off to the best advantage.

'»Look at that pretty cracker girl," said a big fellow, as he rattled bis sabre to at­tract Jinnie's attention.

The girl wa9 evidently not more than 16. Divinely tail and divinely fair, her lissome figure revealed every line and curve of its graceful contour through the soft, clinging drapery In which she was attired, and which seemed to be a part of her. under her rustic hat was a perfect face, Her complexion was dazzling, and contrasted well with the scarlet thread running through her lips, and with her shy eyes of bluish gray. Her hair was a glory in itself. It rolled down her shoulders like a flood of molten gold.

" Such a girl,'r muttered Capt. La Eue, " has no business here. If I am not' very much mistaken there is trouble in store for her."

The raiders searched the house and stole everything worth carrying off. They burned the unoccupied dwellings, and spent the day in making the village miser­able. The captain did not find the time hanging very heavily on his hands. He made his headquarters at the house occu­pied by Jinnie and her mother, and his ap­pearance wasso warlike that the old wom­an busied herself in the kitchen, leaving her daughter to keep the self-invited guest under surveillance. It was long after midnight before the troopers rode out of town on their way back to the main body of the army. How it came, about was never fully explained, but the captain's spirited charger carried A double burden, and one of the riders looked won-drously like Jinnie.

Among the Americans who did valiant service in Maximilian's army, after our war was over, was Capt, La Eue. The captain had a wife who was the toast of all Mexico, from the capital city to the Bio Grande. In the American colony there were strange rumors about tins beautiful woman. It was said that she looked like an angel and acted like a she-devil. There were queer stories, too, about her early life. It was whispered that La Rue picked her up, with a lot of other plunder, in a mountain town in Georgia, just for a lark, but it turned out a serious business. It seems that the girl took it into her head to fall in love with him, and she made life a burden to him until he married her and took her to Mexico.

La Rue was killed along with Prince Salm-Salm, and when the prince's widow sailed for Europe, Mrs. La Rue went with her. Almost anything can be done with a girl, provided she & caught young. A year or two more in that poverty-stricken mountain hamlet would have turned Jinnie into a commonplace young woman. As it was, she was thrown into a strange circle just at the time when she was fever­ishly eager to imitate those who were above her in the social scale. She stripped off the provincial husk that enveloped her. She studied men, women, costumes, man­ners, newspapers, theatres, everything that could throw light upon the great mystery called society. For such a woman tolearn to talk well in French and Spanish, as well as her Own tongue, was a small matter. With her beauty and the subtle witchery of her magnetism, what wonder is it that Eugenie La Rue was soon anathe­matized by all the prudes in Paris?

It was some time in 1870 that a certain claim became the talk of liotei circles in Washington. The claimant, a charming woman, swore that she was a Unionist, and that Sherman's raiders had destroyed something over a hundred thousand dpi-lara* worth of her properly in north Geor­gia. She was backed up by a few decayed federal veterans, who advocated her cause. She had quite an array of receipts and affidavits, but the case looked doubtful from the first. Finally there was a start­ling expose. It was shown that she was almost a pauper, haxbnever lost any prop­erty, and had eloped from her native town during the war with a cavalry officer named La Rue.

The adventuress left Washington after this exposure, but in a fewyears she was back there again in the role of a lobbyist. Her costumes were gorgeous, her equipage

Tbe Base of a Persian Prince.

On the side of the high road toShiras, thirty miles before the city is reached, go­ing north, stands a bare pole. This marks the place where the body of Sergeant Col* lins was found after his murder.

Sergeant Collins was an inspector of the telegraph line, a man of great personal bravery. Accompanied by his wife, two servants and two muleteers, he started on his inspection duty. Collins was hardly convalescent frbm a fever attack when he started and he had no choice in traveling but to lie on a mattress flung on a loaded mule.

At early dawn one day a muleteer sud­denly cried: "Sahib, they have blocked the road;" and, looking ahead, the ser­geant saw some men in front who were covering him with their guns. At the same moment these men ordered him to dismount. Now, the sergeant was the best shot in Persia. "Be off!" he shouted, firing his revolver twice. The robbers rushed in, firing as they came; and Collins was hit in two places, death being instan­taneous. After beating the lifeless body with their iron-headed sticks, the robbers blindfolded and carried off the wife and the two servants, detaining them in a dell till after midnight. •

At the persistent instigation of the En­glish minister at Teheran, the Persian authorities arrested the three principal robbers. Another of them committed suicide to avoid capture; another had died from a gunshot wound, apparently inflict­ed by Collins. But the Persian authorities, though they had got the criminals in jail, seemed very loth to bring them to justice. But at length Mirza Hassan Ali Khan, C. S. I., our agent at Shiraz, succeeded in loading the prince-governor, H. R. H. Iil-es-SuItah, into trying the prisoners. The proceedings were very curious.

There was -no doubt of the guilt of the men, but there were no witnesses of the murder. The sergeant was dead; his wife and his two servants had been frightened out of their wits, and the muleteer declar­ed that he could remember nothing. The Zil-es-Sultan, finding that the English min­ister would not remain satisfied, ordered the robbers to be brought before him. The prince-governor himself embodied the law. Half a dozen courtiers lolled against the wall, their arms respectfully crossed upon their breasts. Seated on a silk mattress in a corner of the room, his back supported by gold-embroidered cushions, tbe young prince twiddled his mustache, or played with the jeweled hilt of his sabre, or toy­ed with the buckle of priceless brilliants which formed the central ornament of his plain leather waist belt.

The three men were dressed as villagers usually are, in tall felt caps and long felt coats. When they were hustled into the hall of audience they were still heavily ironed, for these men are often desperate criminals, and would not hesitate for a moment to murder their jailers if they thought they would thereby secure a chance of escape. On entering the royal presence they bow almost to the ground. "Salaam!" they shout in a kind of a chorus; your villager or tribesman never speaks, he always shouts. " How do you like prison?" says the prince, nodding to them with a smile; In reply the bandits assert their innocence, catling at every sentence upon Heaven and the Prophet. " Are we not harmless tribesmen, we who live in your royal highness's shadow? May we be your sacrificel" The prince still smiles blandly. "Ah, my friends, 1, too, am a Mussulman. We are all Mussulmans here; and—and, in fact—an unbeliever more or less doesn't much mat­ter. You have truly done a good deed. I ahau not really punish but reward you. That you killed the Feringhi there is, of course, no doubt; and s o l must punish you nominally. What I propose to do is to cut off a joint of one finger of each of youV But what is that? Nothing. Your robes of honor are ready. You will put them on and will be instantly liberated. And how, my children," says the smiling prince, " tell me all about it. How did you manage it, eh ?'

The astonished prisoners received this speech with a burst of joy. All shouting at once, they hastened to give the prince full particulars. "The European fired twice from the pistol—may we be your sacrifice!—and then we all fired together, rushing in on him. He was but a Euro­pean—may your shadow never be less! We trust in the clemency of your royal highness! May we be your sacrifice !"

The smile faded from the face of the

ATLANTA, Nov. 3.—The elections of Tuesday have proved a sort of earthquake excitement to the present Georgia Con­gressmen. They followed Carlisle and Morrison with a servility worthy Of a sounder leadership. The poverty of the agricultural classes all over the.State and the depression in manufacturing interests did not affect their comprehension in the slightest degree. It took a harder Shake to wake them up, and it came on Nov. 2. The defeat of Morrison and Carlisle's close shave did the work, but will they learn by experience?

Mr. Randall Was defeated for the Speak­ership by the rampant free-traders in the South, and the success of the opposition was largely attributable to the defection of Georgia Congressmen. It is a well known fact that Mr. Randall had lifted one or more out of obscurity, and injured himself by overlooking abler men; but nobody's hats rose higher in the air when Mr. Carlisle was elected than those of Mr. Randall's proteges among the Georgia del­egation. It was the rankest ingratitude, and all familiar with the circumstances were aware of it. Therefore I compare their consternation to an earthquake Shock. Nothing else would weigh a feather in the minds of the average Con­gressman; but this blow win telL

Virginia has at last shaken herself loose, and expressed her real sentiments—and there is as little of Mahoheism in the de­cision as there is sickly war sentiment or tradition. The political throes which she has suffered since 1872 have made her look in upon herself—and shesaw nothing but progress in poverty. Her Democratic politicians have only themselves to blame for. the catastrophe. They dragged her business interests into the mire for their own promotion. They worked on the dangerous war feeling in the State, until -the people became surfeited with Democ­racy—and to procure a respite they were positively forced to elect six Republican Congressmen last Tuesday, leaving the so-called Democrats with only three pro­nounced party supporters for the fiftieth Congress.

This revolt means something, and it does not stand for Mahoneism. With all the lights before us, it means the begin­ning of a revolt to extend all over the South in time. If the negro could be eliminated from politics in the Southern States, the solid South would disappear in less than two years from to-day; and white the negro will always be a disturb­ing factor in proportion to numbers, yet a revolt against sectional bossism is bound to come very soon. The people are weary of the drum and fife in every Southern political canvass.' They are sick at heart when they see their section shunned by capitalists and forsaken by material pros­perity, and the administration of Mr, Cleveland has shown them that they have followed a myth ever since the war, and that they Were quite as well off as to offices or prosperity under their enemies as with their supposed friends. It is pitiful to see the disappointment that prevails.

Of course Mr. Cleveland is not responsi­ble for the inevitable, but he, in this sec­tion, like Jefferson Davis in the North, is made the scapegoat of national political indignation. The elections of Tuesday make him an outsider in the next national contest; for he has neither spoils nor the hope of spoils to offer to the long waiting Southern office seeker. He went into office with their undivided support, and he has dispelled the fascinating illusion in less than two years. They are disen­chanted, but hungrier than ever, and their patience is well nigh exhausted.

"Georgia will be norated," to useane-groism, in the next national canvass—in 1888. Every word uttered by Jefferson Davis on his triumphal march from Mont­gomery to Atlanta last May will be care­fully produced to inflame the Northern heart, and it will do its work effectually. Mr, Cleveland was forced to keep his wife away from Richmond to avoid a most awkward dilemma, into which he would have been placed had he and Mrs. Cleve­land received with "the Lee family and Miss Winnie Davis at a public reception. It was cowardly to run away, but it would have guillotined him among his fellow-citizens in the North, and Lament knew it. How much that Richmond contre­temps influenced the late Republican suc­cesses in Virginia is a quantity that might bear more accurate measurement, for it touched a raw place beyond a doubt.

Mr, Garland is a millstone about the President's political neck, and 2888 will ring all the changes on the Pan-Electric scandal, with its miserable exposures. . Mr. Lamar is a dreamer—has allowed his office to be worked by Southern trick­sters until it has become a hotbed for fu­ture investigations and Congressional in­dignation.

Reviewing the whole-situation, there is enough to alarm a patriot. Whenever the masses of the South stampede there WOI be danger signals needed, for they will rush madly to George, or some other wild enthusiast that offers disturbance and revolt. GEOKGIA.

A recentoccurrence inRajpootanashows the held that ancient superstitions still have among thenativea. Some years ago the native States of Odeypore and Tonk, with a view of simpTKifying their bound­aries, exchanged certain villages near Neemuch* In this process a village in­habited by Brahmins passed from Odey­pore to the NaWab of Tonk. This village had been granted in perpetuity to the Brahmins by a former Manarana of Odey­pore, subject to the only nominal fee of twelve rupees for protection. After the exchange the Tonk authorities imposed a revenue assessment, which war raised from time to time till it reached 500 rupees annually. Successive deputations of the villagers proceeded to Tonk to; lay the case before the Durbar, but without effect.

Thereupon the Brahmins assembled and decided by the voioeaof all present, women as well as men, that nothing was left to move the Durbar except the numan sacri­fice, •*-* Johur."' Four women presented themselves as victims, but at- the last two becamefrightened and withdrew. No opposition being offered, the other two went bravely and willingly to meet death, and were burned alive m the presence of the assembled community, their charred hands being afterward: carried by the villagers to Odeypore with a demand for redress. This occurred a few weeks ago, and at midday, no attempt at conceal­ment being made.

A Kansas Murder. LAENKD, Kan., Nov. 10.—Seven years

ago a beautiful young lady named Lowber married Sam Purple, a man whose repu­tation for sobriety and mildness of nature was by no means enviable. They never lived happily together, and Purple's viciousneaa culminated Friday morning last in the murder in part of his family and in his Own death at the hands of an enraged mob three days later.

At the time of the murder Purple's fam­ily consisted of seven persons—himself, his Wife, his wife's sister and four little children, the youngest of Which was only three Weeks old. Friday morning his wife arose and prepared breakfast. She then went to awaken her huBband, which so,enraged him as to incite him to the heihous crime which followed. He shot Ins wife through the body, lolling her in­stantly. The new-born babe was next fired at with the same result. He next shot and killed another one of his children. His sister-in-law, Miss Lowber, was then fired at, the ball passing through the arm and lodging in the shoulder. He then at­tempted to kill another child, but failed, although disfiguring it about the lace. Purple afterwards surrendered himiself to the authorities, and was placed in jail, sur­rounded by a heavy guard. Lent night a mob of about 100 men went quietly to the jail and demanded the prisoner, who was delivered with little ceremony. He was then taken to the scene of his crime and hanged to a tree. • Only One member of the family escaped serious injury, and that Was the murderer's little hoy, who had hid under his bed when he heard hit father coming.

Taxing Bachelors in France.

' The question of taxing bachelors has again risen in France. A petition to that effect has been sent to the chamber of deputies. It is said that in Paris alone there are nearly half a million, whereat the number of married men is not more than S7»,000. We are reminded that the tax, singular as it may seem, hat already existed in several countries. The French convention adopted it. So did the old re­publics. In Sparta the women were allowed to drag bachelors into the temple of Hercules and give them a sound thrash­ing. Plato condemned them to « fine, Rome made them pay a round turn. Camilius went further and forced them to carry the widows of dtiaent kilted in de­fending the country. The petitioners amy the tax ought to be doubly welcome—Orst, because it will increase the declining pop­ulation, and, secondly, because it will help to make up the growing deficit in the budget.—Pall Mall GaxOte*
