"Joe Cotton, the winner, is a cheslnut

Ex-President Davis, in 1 a recent
note declining an invitatioh to attend
the drill at Mobile, spoke m high
praise of tbe miliUa rtne "citizen
soldiery," as we heard Mr. Webster
call them in a brief speech at Ral
eigh in 1846. Mr Davis said:
"Our forefathers, distrustful of standing
armies, relied upon the militia as the de
fenders and safeguards of the - State, , and
competitive exercises as high schools of
elementary education. - Mobile may be
justly proud of the record . her sons have
made, afloat and ashore, wherever martial
endowment was to be displayed. Chival
rously rejoicing at any triumph of her
guests, she may exultingly hail every in
crease of proficiency as a welcome advance
toward the common good, in the greater
ability to protect popular liberty."
Rev. Sam Jones, who is just now
so much 1 talked of in the papers, is
now in Nashville preaching, in a great
tent that cost $3,000. He gave the
preachers a raking down that must
have made them wince. He had
5,000 people before him. An ex
change says:
'One of two. things he told them. is
true the plan of salvation is defecti ve.-or
you are not preaching the gospel.' He cut
tnem to tne Heart, in a very iew minuieB
the entire row of preachers were in tears,
and there went few dry eyes in tne great
congregation. Nashville never has been so
shaken up before, reopie oi an classes,
men and women from the poorest to the
wealthiest, eagerly attend the i Rev. Mr.
Jones' meetings. There is no curiosity
concerning him in Nashville now."

vice. The trial of "W. W. Pearsall
for the murder of Tom Crow in this city in
November last is over. The evidence in ;
brief was that, on the 4th day of Novem
ber, election day, Pearsall and Crow had
some words, and Crow struck Pearsall. in
consequence of which Pearsall threatened
that he would kill Grow if it took ten years
to do it. A few days afterwards Pear
sall, while drinky,- loaded - his Shotgun,
went aown to crow's shoo in little
Washington, called him to the door and
shot him dead in his tracks. It was in
evidence that Pearsall threatened on sev
eral occasions, between the day of the
difficulty and the murder, that he was go-
ing to shoot Crow, and that on one of these
occasions he had been told if he shot Crow
he would'be hanged, and his remark was, .

gave the horse one hundred yards start and
beat him about one hundred and fifty yards. ,
In tho three mile race between Mr. Morgan
and a running horse, a fresh horse was run
in on the last heat and Mr. Morgan was
beaten. Mr. Prince next ran against the
same horse, half mils' dash. The horse was
a fleet-rooted animal and Mr. Prince was
given 100 yards start. . This was an exceed
ingly pretty race, made specially interesting
by reason of the fact that tbe racer made
the champion get down to his v level best.
Prince new around the track like the wind
and won the race, making the half -mile ln
1 minute and 17 seconds. The last race
was a three mile dash between Morgan and
Prince. Morgan kept the lead until on the

uxuF come out ' of the ' " Spanish senr. i
Ifatividad, which is on tharways undergo-'
ing repairs near Mr. VanBokkelen's still-
yard, and get into a boat in the dock. Mr. '
Roderick pretended to want to buy
the -boat, and it was offered to him for
tL2S. He t2ien .asked Bailey about the!
nets.. ;-He atrst denied having had any
nets, la rthe boat but finally con-
essed tht on was set - out oppo
site the !. powder house, on the
west side of- the river, : and the other in
front of Mr? Northrop's rice farm. Bailey
started to push the boat off, but Mr. Rode
rick prevented' him, -and called to Mr.,
Hines, who was not f ar off , to come and:
see if he could Identify the boat, which he,
did. Bailey then remarked that if the boat
awn t oeiong to him he was ready to get
out of it; whereupon he jumped, overboard.
and swam under an adjacent wharf, where
he clung to the piling. In the meantime
Mr. Roderick telephoned to the Chief of
Police to send a policeman, and Officer
Fred. Skipper was dispatched to the spot
to capture the alleged thief and take him
to the guard house.
When Bailey was finally taken out from
under the wharf he was nearly exhausted,
as well as benumbed with cold. He was
then confined in a tool shed on tbe prem
ises until Officer Skipper arrived and took
charge of him.
Bailey soon afterwards had a preliminary
hearing before Mayor Hall in his capacity
of a justice of the peace, and at the close of
the examination he was sent to jail, in de-
aultof bail, to await a hearing before the

attested on Memorial day. It. is to be
hoped that it will not be long before the
command will parade 100 strong, and with
such a large number of eligible young
men in the city who are not members, and
with the good will and material help given
them by the ladies, all backed by the solid
Veterans, there is every reason to believe
this hope will be realized,
Don't forget the festival Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. "

Crowning tbe Way Queen
The crowning of the May Queen, in Lu-?
ther Memorial Building, last Friday night, '
was a ; decided success. .Special credit is
due Mrsv F. W. K Peschau and Mrs. Jno.i
F. Loughery, who first and last were the!
leaders in getting up and carrying out this'
successful and pleasant entertainment. Thej
Misses Lydia Peschau, LiHie Gerken, Mary
Blomme, Lena Stemmermann and Annie
Bremer, also rendered timely and valuable (
aid. Eighteen girls took part in the exer-
cises. Mamie Bchulken. about twelve years,
old, was the Queen and acted her part al
most to perfection. The platform was.
handsomely decorated with flowers and the
Queen's throne of flowers was perfectly
beautiful. Spanning the platform, an
arched frame bore, in large letters made of.
flowers, the words, "Our May Queen;" and:
over the throne, a star made of flowers by
Miss Gerken, was suspended. The audience
was large many being compelled to stand
and all expressed themselves as highly
pleased. . . .
Came Back A sain A Warning.
A Edwards, the young Englishman who
was arrested here two or three weeks ago,
and was shipped for Liverpool last week On
the British barque. Geo. Davis, was put
ashore by Capt; Macomber before the ves
sel went to sea and returned to this city.
As soon as Capt. Brock, Chief- of Police,
heard of the fact, he saw Edwards and cau
tioned him to leave the city immediately,
under penalty of arrest and prosecution for
some of his ngly capers here. He prom
ised to "make himself scarce" at once, but
if he shonldnot hewill be arrested on sight.
