The Case of Mrs Sotkern, of Geortia, Discussed Jd New York Society. 'Fashionable News" letter of Jenny June. Tbe;ase of Mrs Sothern, the Georgia wdaianiwho excited by jealousy .stabbed & woman to death who bad for years tried to step Detween nersen- ana ine man who fras her lover and afterwards her husband, has excited a great, deal of interest among omen, hera. At. thev North, and many and heated have been the discussions 'as to the' amount of criminality involved , in the deed ; At'a recent ladies' lunch-party where the subject was discussed, it was a lit tle curious to una now much sympa thy was felt for the murderess, and now lareely 'she' was exonerated in the minds of nearly every married woman present ine-argumen was simpiy this : that the devotion of the husband since the act of killing the other wo man shows 'clearly that he deeply loved his wile, ana in at u was oniy nis gat lantry, his vanity, his amour propre that were enlisted on the side - of her nnacrnrjulbus rival, who evidently TJUr- sued every advantage regardless of honor, decency and loyalty . to her sex ior consideration for the feelings of a wife and prospective mother. For this kind of wickedness m wo men there is no punishment. The laW does not recognize it. and the unfor tunate wife is utterly at the m ercy of a in ah 'who is im pelled by h is vanity to parade his influence over other wo men. That this wretched woman was driven to desperation there is no doubt, ana bo common is vae csune ivuwu uiif celled i her to the fearful act. it , is surprising that terrible scenes are hot more frequently enacted on this i ac count. - Taking Him a Long Way From Home; ... ! a jh j rWilmington Star; -:; iThft touchirig story about ' James ' B Moored (of one ofrthe Western vcoun. iies of (North Carolina,):-a (Confederate; soldierywho carried water to a wounds ed nkee at the isk36f his life,?arid the bequest of $10,000 ; Mr Moore Ji&4 received from the man be succor edis now located trai V ?S;W Wi feelds Republican . publishes it as an in- Bies HSMH Tbppgs to Wortb EditortCharlotte Observer : ' in s late issue oi me i&aieign' uoser flr, we and i m tne editors column some grave doubta expressed as to the expediency of equhtaes ' requiring ' sv piedgetrom 4neir representatives-elect td the legislature as to their Vote on the senadnal questlott . The objection urged is that the interests of the party . miay be put in jeopardy that our rep-; resehtativer ought to go-' un trammeled ; thit the1 fjetdslature. and nottha neo- plare to elect a Senatoj etc. Now, wbhumuhmu Vila- mere is no grouna fojrTeAr-oftbAofiecfatie party be cdming setiotislyt divided on this ques ti6fliLMajoHti8S "ale ia ;the control of aartyi wl&in Itself; as well as iff pliaoini DE of- two "parties In cower.

Ia 3ithe-:Jfact not "indisputable and' pitenf to all that it was out kader in the lasfcampaigni who aroused a de- lei-' ox enthusiasm-: with which he de is able to fire the hearts of North liniansjand J that it was he who' scoured to them T a grand and glorious victory, unce wrested-from the do minion of Radicalism, North Carolina will not soon aeain takeuti the voke pf oppression. With the1 evidences of a! beitrn and able administration to be .seen in every part of the State, confi dence and friendship between the races in a great measure restored, we, for pne, uo nut tear ai&asier or ianure in tbo annroachincr contest. Calm dis cussion and the expression of the will of the people in a live and important jssue invoivea, wiu ceriamiy not wea ten the party strength. No subject is more interesting and to no event do the people of the State turn with great er, concern than the selection of our next Senator. The people are sover eign, and while, as the Observer has teaid, they do not directly choose a Sen ator, their preference should be made known and their wishes consulted and heeded by the men' who represent them. In our opinion the great mass of the white population of the State iwant Vance . and none other as their Senator. The party which supported him almost solidly six years ago is stronger for him to-day than it ever was before, lhe debt of gratitude which at that time was weighty has been added, to by the great deliverance which he secured tons by sagacious leadership two years ago ; and now there is no post of honor so elevated that North Carolinians would not be proud to place him there. What the ganger is,. therefore, that may threaten : ! : f ' . 1 1 1 i , . . . in view vi tne people an over me oiaie sneaking out to their candidates we ijcscnnbt conceive, unless it be personal disaster -to aspirants for- the 'position. Certainly none can be feared for the party. If a majority of the counties Bnouia aeciare ipr - some oxner. man than Vance, then that iin an should re ceive the support of our party and be Lselected as our Senator. Harmony in I tne Democratic party is desired by none more than by your' correspon dent, but harmony can never be secur ed or maintained by defeating the pop ular will. If we are to liye under Dem ocratic rule let the voice of the people be heard ! F.. " ' - ' Rattlesnakes. The Forest and Stream discussses the rattlesnake. It says the popular belief that the number of rattles increases annually by one, thereby vindicating the age, is not srrpported by any direct and absolute proof. With .respect to the nsfi nf : th rattle, two bvnotheaes have been advahced--either of which may.be correct though they both, do not fill all the necessary requirements. The hrat is, that it is used as a call by hich the sexes , may be brought to gether at the breeding, season ; the sec ond is, thatresembiing the noise made by a-grasshoppQiv Ah w.hio birds feed, it is used as a means of attracting those bards within reach of the'snake. .,; i Both of these solutions give no ex planation .of the use made of the rattle as a warning; before it strikes which is justly ; deemed & generous and heroic aci ana raeatnia pnaae on,a nigner plane than all snakedom.
