About four o'clock he went out to arrest Logan Cline whose wife bad sworn out a peace warrant against him for bin violence while on a Satur day night spree. The deputy bad two men summoned to go with him. On reaching the place, just outside tbe corporate limits ot Dal las, Rbyne asked a son of Cline to go in and try to pacify his father. They failed to do so, and the officer went in to make the arrest. As Rhyne entered tbe door Cline, wbo was on tbe bed with bis pistol in hand, drew a bead on the officer and fired. The officer did not have his weapous drawn, and did not have time to draw them. He saw the man on tbe bed witbhis pistol drawn and made a rush -for him. His assistants ran in, and the violent man was 'soon disarmed. After the scuffle was over, Mr. WUR & CO, do claim that you money by buying can save DRY GOODS, SHOES -AND Rhyne, who thought he had been wounded in tbe thigh, made ex amination and found that his life was probably saved by a button. The bullet burnt his overcoat, went through the corner of bis vest, on through his pauts. struck the top button on his drawers, tore out the button hole, and then glanced downward, striking and lodging on the inside of bis thigh, where it made a bruise but did not break the skin.

Harman performing Picture of the Mouutala Soaree of gees land's Great River. Away up among tbe bills of tbe south ern highlands Tweed first catches the light of day. It is an ideal rpot. Nature greets yoa in her sweetest simplicity. .Yoa are in a paradise land of peace. The smoky city is miles distant No village looms in sight Bat one solitary habitation breaks the monotoiiy, if, in deed, it can be called monotony. Pas toral soli tades stretch out on every hand. Tbe hills, beautifully rounded, clad in all hues, beathered, benry, gorsy, grassy, descend with gentle slope to the green meadow where Tweed's well rises in its cooling pooL Here at the fountain head it is only some three yards round, no more than a bubbling spring a "well" caller, clear, inspiring where yoa may stoop down and drink and experience in its delightsome refreshment a thrill cf poetic rapture from a scene so gloriously Arcadian. One is tempted to muse at the shrine by the place of the old pil grim cross and to read into Tweed's source a parable of human life, with its first pare flow unmoved by storm and tempest, and as yet untainted by the gathering years. Bound about Tweed's well there still cling to several places certain names that recall the historic associations of long dead days. With the passing cen turies the whole aspect of the district has changed. Now it is a bare and tree less waste. Tbe wind sweeps unhindered from farthest glen and hilltop. And yet here the ancient forest of Caledon flour ished, with its thousand birches and hazels. Here wandered of old time Merlin, the wild, weird, mad romancist ot the Tweeddale bills; Taliessin, "Bard of the White Brow;" St Kentigern, large souled apostle of Strathclyde, vrith a missionary seal moving him to plant churches in the most outlying parts of bis province; Gwenddolen, prince of the Cymri, resolutely defending bis ances tral Druid i am ; Rydderch Hael of Ro man birth, hero .of the new Christian faith, and Arthur, shadowy and mystic, with bis knights of brave renown, ready to face every danger and to follow their liege lord into all his bloody battles. Of all these many traditions still sur vive in the pastoral solitudes of tbe up per Tweed. Tbe wood of Caledon gave place to a still more famous forest of Ettrick, which embraced all the land between tbe Ettrick and Tweed valleys. And that, too, disappeared. The heather and "bent sae brown" wave on the lonely hills. The hunts man's born has sounded its requiem. The .bleating of sheep, the barking of the shepherds' dogs, tbe whirling ot the wbaup, the shrill piping of the peesweep and tbe musio of tbe many mountain barns as they swish downward to tbe greater stream are tbe chief sounds that now greet the ear. Rev. W. 3. Crockett Special Correspoadcace of The Herald. A a sequel to what was written in s previous article, allow it to be said that the hippy weddiog ma teiialized. Col. Iaiah D. Htirel came from Lattimore, N. C aud captured a motber-io-law. Joy waa u neon fined, with one ex ception. A custom ia prevalent here, that had Its origin id tbe domain ot the Hottentot. Tbe custom referred to, is blockading tbe roads. Some of McKinley'a colored electors, and some pale faces who don't know the war is over, got in some artistic work on this occasion. Trees, brush, briars and rocks were placed in tbe road, nutil a weael could not have got beyond the works. Col. Harrell and his staff, together with a parson, and tbe Lattimore band wagon, which parades only on State occasions, were all io holi day attire. When tbe solemn ceremony was pronounced that united tbe lives of the happy couple, they started for Lattimore. But the pioneer corps bad done s good job. Tbe minister reined op bis horse, and muttered a bene diction. Tbe bridal couple looked like they were in a funeral proces sion. The groom, while a devout and law abiding man, failed to utter a prayer for those wbo despitefully use bim. A S. S. Supt., who was present, offered a share in tbe Brie Caual and all bis cottou mill possessions, for tbe guilty parties and a Gattling gun. When the band wagon came op, tbe music ceased, and a blue streak of blas phemy was beard reverberat ing up aud dowu Iliutou's Creek. Never since the bold bucaneers of tbe Spmish main ondeitook to dm vigorous language has tbe like been heard. Amos Owens says,' Kuklux, red strings, blockadera aud stage drivers, can hereafter pose aa men who are in the awk ward squad, as far at "cussing" ia coucerned. Tbe language caused dogs that have never associated with any but profane people, to run yelping from the scene. A tuulo that formerly pulled a whis key cart in Polk county seemed so bewildered be just wauted to lean against something and think. A the drum major wbo was so forci ble in bis language had been s major iu tbe Sanation army, the officiating clergyman admonished bim to let bis communication be yea, yea, aud nay, nay. The drum major deposed that Solomon said : "For everything under the sun there is a time," aud this was a time to cuss.

The road was opened aud tbe cavalcade moved 011. Amos Owens feels that it was good to be there. Ever since the war, rnd ever since tbe last elec tion, hf felt a lack of biljingsgate to ebow what be thinks of the rev. enuo set vice, and the result of the last election. Beiug even fertile in emergencies, he set bis grapho pbone. Hereatter, he can use na tural tueaus aud then cuss by ma chinery. As the roads in this re gion are alieady a disgrace to civilization, a set of Sabbath breaking vandals wbo blockade a road ought to bo cussed by ma chinery, and a drum-major comes in handy to set the measure. It does look like, with our boasted civilization, blocking roads, taking off buggy wheel.-, and tbe pande monium exercise known as surry nading," could be allowed to die out. Some papers seem to think tba, Li Hung Chang will feel that his trip to our country was a great campaign of education in which be was a beneficiary. If tbe gen tleman 'from China could see a teacher "turned out" in some re gions of this country, a road block aded to impede a wedding party, aud hear the infernal din know u as a "e-uroaile," he would feel like sending some of the heathen Chi nese here to instruct us iu a higher civilization.

Tbe reason is ob vious. What be bears oftcneot, be remembers and repeats. But this impertinent scribe is neither a philosopher nor a moralizer, and had better leave ethics to l nose calculated to dicu.s them. In the way of news, it is with sorrow. that we learn of tbe death of Adley Martin, a good citizen of Mooresboro, X. Cou tbe Vlh ioat Deceased was 85 years of age, snd One of tbe latest, and certainly most effective, met boils of making artificial Cowers is tbe use of fresh bread. All that is required is a loaf of fresh bread, some wire and a little coloring matter. Acrcrding to a well known maker of artificial flowers ia tbe west end cf London, this dotcI method is likely to supersede all others. Not only do these bread flowers look exactly like tbe real article when freshly made, bat as tbe bread grows stale the flowers as sume a slightly withered appeeraaoB, which is almost identical with that of a flower beginning to fade. Aa a role, ordinary artificial flower can at once be detected by the unnatu rally bright and freab appearance tbey present after being in the boated atmos phere of a ballroom or elsewhere for several hours, bat the fading power of bread Cowers practically insures them against detection, even from tbe eyes of an expert London Answers. Baaged and Tarnished.
