A special telegram from Eufaula gives
a detailed account oi the burning or the

When it comes to “law and order”
Chicago claims the prize. Over a hundred
murders were committed in that city last
year, and not one ot the murderers has
l>een hanged. Yet there is not even a hint
at lynching, riot, reform or anything else
of the kind. Chicago is just too virtuous
to have a respectable indignation meet

It appears that the case of Hallet Kil
bourne vs. ex-Sergeant-at-Arms Thomp
son is not ended yet. Another motion is
pending to set aside the verdict on the
ground or excessive damages. The case
has been running nearly eight years and
has cost the government about $30,000. It
seems to be a profitable case, especially
to the lawyers engaged in the defense.
It is stated that several Congressmen
are urging the purchase by the govern
ment of a picture of the Electoral Com
mission. It would be well to have the
picture on permanent exhibition in the
eapitol; but, for it to ire properly appre
ciated, it ought to be accompanied by pic
tures of the Southern returning boards
being “fixed” by distinguished visiting
statesmen.
There seems to be a growing tendency
toward the employment ot women in
many positions ' heretofore filled almost
exclusively by men. While men are con
sidered more ettteient, it is claimed that
the fact that women don’t drink or gamble
is causing them to have the preference.
Besides, they can lie employed at lower
salaries than men. The employment ol
women as cashiers is becoming quite
common out West.
The question of pensioning policemen
is being seriously discussed in several
cities. No city pays its policemen
salaries that will enable them to save
anything to maintain themselves in old
age. The community owes more to the
man who serves twenty years as a faith
ful policeman than to one who serves in
the army for a few months. The day will
come when old and infirm policemen will
be supported at the public expense.
The country seems to be very much
gratified at Attorney-Generai Brewster’s
promise to take oil hi 6 fluted shirt, pull
down his vest and go for the star route
thieves in earnest. What he needs now to
do is to permanently dissolve partnership
with Squire Bliss and to take Samuel W.
Dorsey and John Walsh into his confi
dence. Well-posted witnesses are worth
a great deal more than legal talent that
can accomplish nothing except to draw a
hundred or so dollars a day in the way
of fees.
The steam-heating system is becoming
quite popular in the lower part of New
York city. The company supplies through
pipes extending from its boilers, through
a large section of the city, 6team for run
ning machinery, heating, cooking, etc.
Some of the principal newspaper presses
are run with steam supplied by tt..> com
pany. The condensation ol the steam In
the pipes has been reduced to a minimum,
and the system is said to be economical
and popular with the patrons and protita-
Vle to the company.
Georgia aud the Cotton Centennial.
The management of the New Orleans
Cotton Centennial Exposition are show
ing remarkable activity. They have suc
ceeded in arousing a deep interest in it in
foreign countries as well as in this coun
try. In this State very little has l>een
done yet towards preparing an exhibit.
The State Commissioner, Hon. D. C. Ba
con, however, is moving in the matter,
and, as he is very much in earnest and un
derstands his duties, Georgia, doubtless,
will fully meet the expectation of her
citizens. But it must be apparent
to every one that the Commissioner
must have help. Unless the towns and
counties co-operate with him he can do
very little. There is no State appropria
tion to aid in this work. Private enter
prise must do whatever is to be done.
Leading citizens in every county, there
fore, ought to lend a helping hand and
contribute to the extent of their ability in
making the position of Georgia at the
Exposition one to be proud of. The State
has the material to make a superb ex
hibit. She cannot easily be surpassed.
In the northern counties there is a great
variety ol minerals. In that locality, also,
all the cereals and fruits of a temperate
climate are produced. In the middle
counties, besides grain and fruit, cotton
is grown. In the Southern counties fruits,
vegetables, sea island and Florida cot
ton, lumber, rice and naval stores
are produced. Georgia is rich
in the variety, quality and quantity
of her productions. All that
is necessary to secure an excellent ex
hibit is enterprise. The Commissioner
will appoint assistants in each county,
and ou them will depend, to a large ex
tent, the position of Georgia in the Expo
sition.
Savannah ought to do a great deal to
help along this work. Indeed she ought,
as the seaport of the State, oc
cupy a separate place In the exhi
bition. Her trade and agricultural
organizations have unsurpassed advan
tages for making a collection of the
productions of the State. They ought to
appoint committees at once to undertake
this work. Let the Cotton Exchange col
lect specimens of Georgia cottons, and of
the products of cotton seed. Let the
Board of Trade look after rice, naval
stores, woods and the products of facto
ries, and let the agricultural organizations
make collections of grains, fruits, flowers
and vegetables. There is no use for these
trade bodies to wait to be urged to take
an active part in this matter. They ought
to feel interest enough in their State and
city to act without urging.
Florida, of course, will be seen at
New Orleans in all her glory.
She was prominent at Philadelphia,
Atlanta and Louisville, and the
money her people spent at those exposi
tions has been returned to them a hun
dred times over. Florida has made no
appropriation for the Cotton Centennial,
but it is safe to say that she will he sur
passed by no State there. Her people are
already making preparations, and the
best she has will be exhibited.’
>lu. Nnrcross’ Party.
The movement inaugurated by Mr. J.
Norcross, General Longstreet and others,
looking to the organization of a white
Republican party in this State, under the
name of the old Whig party, will hardly
amount to anything. An organization
may be effected at the meeting in Atlanta
on the sth, but if it acquires sufficient
popularity and strength to attract more
than a passing notice its originators w ill
probably be surprised. They claim that
there are .‘IO,OOO white voters in the State
whose sympathies are with the Repub
lican party. It is doubtful if this claim
can be shown to he well founded. There
may he 110,000 voters who could he influ
enced to support Mr. Norcross’ proposed
new party provided it represented some
new principle in which they believed. Mr.
Norcross’ new party, however, pretends
to nothing more than that the negroes
shall be sent to the rear. About all the
white voters of the State now belong to a
party that does not believe in encourag
ing ignorant negroes to seek office. It
will be hard to convince them that they
ought to leave a strong party to join a
weak one when nothing is to be accom
plished. Mr. Norcross says in the ad
dress which he and his party friends have
sent out, that sixteen years’ experience
shows that negroes as party leaders are
inefficient and incompetent. That is very
true, but it is not possible to convince the
negroes oftthat fact, and if they cannot
be convinced how does Mr. Norcross pro
pose to utilize them as voters without
recognizing them as leaders? By simply
telling them that they are too ignorant to
lead or to enjoy the spoils ot office,
they cannot be kept in the ranks.
It Mr. Norcross could gather the entire
150,000 white voters which he claims into
his new organization, the negroes would
still have a majority of 55,000 votes by his
own showing. Does Mr. Norcross think
that the 85,000 would permit the 150,000 to
monopolize all the honors and all the
spoils if the new party were successful?
If Mr. Norcross thinks so he has a very
erroneous idea of the shrewdness of negro
politicians. The negro cannot he kept in
the background as long as there is any
power which he can use to push himself
to the front. Mr. Norcross says, “Our
country’s good is what we are after, and
our object is to start young men on the
right, track.’’ This sounds well and
smacks of patriotism and high purposes,
but if what we have said is correct Mr.
Norcross’ scheme will not benefit the coun
try and will not put young men on the
right track. Even if his new party should
succeed in getting the support of 150,000
white voters it would amount to nothing
unless supported by the negro vote, and it
would still be the black man’s party and
would have to submit to black leaders.
Perhaps Mr. Norcross thinks his scheme
will fairiy divide the white voters. He
claims .‘IO,(MX) white Republicans, but why
should Democrats flock to his standard?
Have they not already a white man’s
party? He oilers Democrats no induce
ments. Without Democratic converts
how can his scheme be a success? It
will probably be a good while before Mr,
Norcross’ party will benefit the country
or put young men on the right track.
A Just It tile.
A lew days ago, in the city of New
York, George S. Walsh, a man of educa
tion and respectable social position,
sought and obtained admission to the
house of .Mrs. Thorpe, a woman who has
wealth and beauty, but not much reputa
tion. What took jilace after Walsh enter
ed the house is not very clearly stated. It
is certain, however, that Wal9h shot the
woman. The chances are she will die.
Walsh claims that he had been on a pro
longed spree, and that he has no recollec
tion of having entered the house of Mrs.
Thorpe, or of having shot her. Walsh
hopes doubtless that his forgetfulness will
shield him from the consequences of his
crime. lie will find that he is mistaken.
In New York the rule is well settled “that
voluntary intoxication of one who, with
out provocation, commits a homiuide, al
though amounting to a frenzy, does not
exempt him from the same construction
ot his conduct and the same legal infer
ences upon the question of intent as af
fecting the grade ot his crime which
are applicable to a person perfectly so
ber,” This is a correct rule. A drunken
man who commits murder ought to be
held to the same responsibility as if he
committed the crime when sober. There
is altogether too much sympathy tor mur
derers and too much leniency shown them,
if the punishment of piurderers was
swift and certain there would be a great
deal less human blood Hlegally*pilt. As
iong as a murderer has fourteen chances
to one of escaping the gallows, however,
the pistol and the knife will continue
to do bloody work.
The Pennsylvania Democratic Conven
tion meets at Allentown next Wednesday,

as well as anybody.

The No-Fence Law.
The people of the various counties in
Georgia that have adopted the local op
tion stock or “no-fence” law, appear to
be very much pleased with it. The oppo
sition, which was at first strong
those not owning lands, especially the
negroes, has almost disappeared. The
necessity for such a law’ in many coun
ties is so great, and the advantages to be
gained by its adoption so numerous, that
there is little doubt that in the near fu
ture it will be in force in nine-tenths of
the counties of the State, in fact only a
few grazing sections can aftord to keep
up the old laborious expensive fence sys
tem.
When the “no fence” law was
first agitated in South Carolina it
met with almost overwhelm
ing opposition. It was with great
difficulty that the passage of a bill was
secured allowing it to be adopted in an
experimental way by militia districts;
but as soon as its many benefits became
apparent it spread from district to dis
trict, and from cov.ntv to county, until at
last a State law was passed making it of
universal application. The people of that
State soon discovered that the question of
the scarcity of timber, although an all
important one in some sections, was not
the only economical issue involved in the
discussion of the stock law. Some of the
earliest counties to adopt it were those in
which timber was plentilul, the people
considering the labor of making the
fences as costing more than they were
worth.
It has been asserted that great improve
ments have taken place in the character
and condition of the stock of South Caro
lina since the law has been adopted, aud
the same is true of many counties in
Georgia. Stock that had before been
forced to depend for food on what could
be gleaned along the lanes aud hillsides
has, since the adoption of the stock law,
been provided with food and pasturage.
No doubt the discussion of this subject
will be renewed in different parts of this
State during the spring and summer. It
is an important one, and should be ma
turely considered and adopted wherever
the condition of the farming interests are
favorable to its enforcement.
The New York .Journal of Commerce,
commenting on the Cincinnati riot, says
“that the excesses of the Cincinnati mob
are liable to be repeated any day in any
other city of the Union. The larger the
city the more it is exposed to the fury of
such sudden uprisings. The most de
structive riots iu the history of the United
States have occurred in New York. Pitts
burg in 1877 and Cincinnati in IXB4 are
other refutations of the false theory that
the people of the Southern and extreme
Western States are more addicted
to outbursts of lawlessness than
those of other sections. Human
passions are alike everywhere, and,
wherever the predisposing causes exist,
these volcanic ejections of fire and blood
may be occasionally expected. There is
no landscape so seeming fair that it does
not cover a molten interior.” The Journal
of Commerce is not the only Northern
journal that has been fair enough in com
menting on the Cincinnati affair to deny
that there is more lawlessness in the
South than in the North. Many ol the
extreme Republican papers have been so
persistent in picturing the South as a law
less section that many well-meaning peo
ple have come to believe that there is law
lessness nowhere in the country except in
the South. It is time they were unde
ceived.

Ax anecdote of Henry Watterson is printed

poker with “Dick” Bright, who was recently
Sergeant at-Armsof the Senate and Presi
dent of the City Horse Railroad, Watterson
had great luck. The money rolled in upon
him. When he was about ft,ooo ahead lie
began to th'nlt how he would spend it. “I
will ride home in the best back this city af
fords,” he said. Before a great while he had
$5,000 in winnings. “I will drive to my hotel
with four white horses, and a darkey leadiDg
each one,” was his exultant announcement.
From that moment his luck turned. Every
cent in his pile was gone aud his pocketbook
began to look thin. The railroad President
fumbled in his pocket. Taking out a car
ticket he passed It across the table. “Here,
Watterson, you said you should ride home.
Put that in your pocket and you can.” Wat
terson waited, and still keeps the car ticket
as a reminder of the night.

Herr August Lesimple, conductor of the
Wagner Association in Cologne, and for 30
years an intimate friend and correspondent
of Wagner’s, has published a book of personal
recollections of the master at Dresden. It
bears witness to the devotion with which the
composer inspired his friends.
Chief Engineer Melville, of the Jean
nette expedition, received the other day a
bottle of whisky which had been forwarded
to him on February 4, 1882, while he was in
tlie wilds of Siberia. The Dottle had traveled
8.000 miles by sea, over 11,000 miles on the
sledge journeys in Siberia and about 4,500
miles by rail.
John Bland, a respectable bank cashier in
Leeds, is the last survivor of twelve children,
one of whom was the late Adelaide Neilson,
whose plain, prosaic name off the stage was
Elizabeth Ann Bland. But Neilson or not,
she was always bland. Her mother was for a
awhile an actress, her father was an engraver,
and tlie family was most respectable.
Prof. Walter N. Hill, who was killed by
a recent explosion, was well known in
Newport. He was the first chemist em
ployed at the torpedo station, where he was
retained for twelve years. He was instru

of the station, and made many valuable dis
coveries and inventions.
According to the London correspondent of
tlie Manchester Guardian , the Marquis of Ki
pon has decided to remain Viceroy of India
until a few months before his term of office ex
pires, in June, 1835. Ho will probably come
home in March next year. The filling up of
tiie position liaspot yet been before the Cabi
net, so that all statements giving tlie names
mentioned as likely to he appointed are pre
mature.
GRIEF OF A FAITHFUL DOG.
Refusing to Eat After His Mistress Wag
Hurled.
A singular exhibition of fidelity on the
part of a house dog was shown in Staple
ton, Staten Island, during the past week.
Last Tuesday morijing Mrs. Walter
Odell, wife of a tinware dealer in that vil
lage, died. A Scotch terrier, named Fido,
had been a pet of Mrs. Odell for the past
twelve years. During the two months
that Mrs. Odell was sick Fido remained
continually by her bed. After her death
the dog persisted in lying beside the cof
fin, and he followed it to the hearse, try
ing to jump inside. When the funeral
procession reached the grave Fido was
there, and he watched the interment.
Then he returned home and took up his
former position beside the bed lately oc
cupied by Mrs. Odell. The dog from that
time refused to eat, and he grew angry at
any efforts to disturb or feed him. At
times he moaned in a low tone.
On Sunday Fido came across a pair of
shoes that formerly belonged to Mrs.
Odell, and bad been thrown out doors.
These he took up In his mouth and car
ried to his self-assigned post, near the
bed, and placing them on the floor laid
his forepaws and head across them, In
which position he remained several hours.
During Monday night Fido roused tlie
household by his moans, and Mr. Odell,
who was very much attached to the ani
mal, went to the room where he was.
Fido looked up and wagged his tail, and
then dropped his nose on his mistress’
shoes—dead.
IT AVAS APRIL 1.
And Yet Ohio Patriots Went Fifty Miles
to Meet Mr. Tilden In Cleveland.
The Leader, says a Cleveland special of
the Ist, published over a column to the
effect that Samuel J. Tilden had arrived
in the city late Monday night, in com
pany with Rarnum of Connecticut, Whit
ney of New York, Henry Watterson of
the Courier-Journal, and other promi
nent Democrats. The article said that a
consultation would be held in the afternoon
with Senator-elect Payne, and also that
Mr. Tilden would hold a public reception
at the Kennard House between 10 and 12
o'clock.
In the morning hundreds of prominent
citizens, including city officials, ex-Mayor
Herrick, leading Democrats and Republi
cans, called at the hotel to pay their re
spects to the sage of Gramercy Park.
Several prominent Democrats from differ
ent parts of the State, among them Jeff
Post, came in on trains.
It is needless to say these people were
the victims ol an April fool joke. Mr.
Tilden and party were not in the city at
all. One man who came fifty miles to see
Tilden gathered 100 men about him in the
Kennard House barroom and set up the
drinks.
The Leader, to make the story more
plausible, also published in the article al
leged interviews with both Mr. Tilden
and Henry Watterson. It was the most
complete April fool joke ever played on
the Cleveland public.
Patti on California and New York Au
diences.
San S'rancitco Chronicle.
“I do not exaggerate,” said Mine. Patti,
“when I tell you that my reception here
is the loveliest I have received in the
United States. Indeed, it surpasses any
thing I ever saw, except in Russia. There
the people are just as cordial and sympa
thetic. Here the audiences are more
sensitive, more appreciative than any
where else, but they are not as great
judges of music as some ol the best au,
dienees in Europe. They are very fond of
melody. But lam surprised at the criti
cal taste they showed In other respects,
in the superb toilets and beauty ol the
ladies; the audiences hero are much su.
perior to those in New York.
“Indeed, you may truthfully say that
they excel even Paris and London," nor is
that saying a great deal; many people
will call it exaggeration, but it Is really
true,
“I was never once interrupted by ap
plause till I had finished. Many audiences
break in upon the singing belore it is
ended. That is always done unless the
audience is familiar with the music. But
here the silence was perfect till the end.”
THOMASVILLK'B GROWTH.
The Mitchell House to be Rebuilt—A
Number of Fine Residences In Course
of Construction.
Correspondence of the Morning Xews.
Thomasville, Ga., April 2.—Thomas
ville and Thomas county take off their
hats this morning to Mr. Thos. C. Mitch
ell, South Georgia’s best friend and
Thomasville’s most public-spirited citi
zen. He has determined to rebuild the
Mitchell House on a larger plan than the
old house. The plans were prepared by
Mr. J. A. 'Wood, of 240 Broadway, N. Y.,
and the contract has been let to Mr. N. S.
Eaves, of Cartersville, Ga. Work will
commence next wpek and the house will
be ready by January. It will be
a magnificent structure, four stories
high, will front Broad street 220
feet, and front the Mitchell House
park 210 feet. Thomasville, through the
public spirit of Mr. Mitchell, more than
recovers her loss by the burning of the
Mitchell last August, and in its rebuild
ing takes a long stride forward. With
the new Mitchell House, thePiney Woods
Hotel, the Waverly, West End and Gulf,
we will have abundant and unsurpassed
hotel facilities. Thomasville grows in
spite of all retarding influences. Mr. J.
W. Paxton, a prominent citizen of Wheel
ing, W. Ya., is building a handsome resi
denceon Remington avenue. Mr. Lapbam,
a Chicago merchant, and Mr. Hackett have
purchased rots on Dawson street, and
will.Duild at once. Mr. Mcßae, of Wis
consin, already identified with us by lib
eral investments, will probably build here
this summer. Mr. A. J. Dam, proprietor
of the Astor House and other New York
hotels, and Dr. G. Q. Colton, the discov
erer of laughing gas. have purchased res
idence lots, and will build winter homes
here. Let those who doubt the growth of
Thomasville coine and see for themselves.
The writer was in Tallahassee a few
days since, and was gratified to find
the same buoyancy of spirit nerving
the arms and brightening the hopes of
our neighbors, that has done so much
for the prosperity of Thomasville. While
there we met a young Georgian, strong in
energy, pluck and capacity, for whom the
luture has bright laurels In store. This
was Hon. Frank Haralson, of Atlanta.
He had gone there to defend Peter Earnest
for murder. Earnest had been once con
victed and sentenced to haug. This trial
was the third, but the first in which Mr.
Haralson had appeared. After a hard
fight he obtained a verdict of not guilty.
Earnest had lain in jail for sixteen
months and his several trials had cost
Leon county some $5,000. This was a
brilliant victory for Mr. Haralson, and ad
ded lustre to liis fast growing reputation
as a strong and successful lawyer. He
has won a number of celebrated cases,
but he never won a harder earned or
greater triumph than in bringing about
the acquittal of Earnest. Kent.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY TALKS.
llow Slie Changed the Vote of the House
—She Denies Having a Poodle—How
Arthur Squeezed Her Hand.
Susan B. Anthony, says a AVashington
sjiecial of the 31st ult., was asked to-day
by a reporter if she expected that the
Senate would pass the resolution for a
sixteenth amendment conferring the fran
chise upon women.
,‘Oh! dear, no.” she said, “there is too
much President making this session, and
I fear they won’t even get it up for con
sideration until next session. Senator
Lapham told me to-day that he was ready
to make a speech on the resolution, but it
is way down on the calendar. They have
treated us very handsomely and we ought
to he thankful for what we lyive got.
I call it a long step forward to get a
resolution of the kind before the Senate.
The committee stood four to three. Sena
tors Palmer of Michigan, Anthony of
Rhode Island, Blair of New Hampshire
and Lapham of New York were for us,
and Cockrell of Missouri, Brown of
Georgia and Fair of California were
against us. The majority are going to
give us a good report, and are going to
print not only the speeches we delivered
to them a few weeks ago, but the speeches
we made before the Judiciary Committee
in 1880. That is very clever of them, and
It is better treatment than we got from
the House. AVhen they refused to print
our speeches 1 went over there and
called out a Congressman who opposed it,
and I said: “A lot of you fellows in there
have done a very mean thing, and you
ought to be ashamed of it. It was bad
enough to vote no on our resolution, but
to refuse us even the courtesy of printing
our speeches is something you oughtn’t
to have done. I suspect you are one of
those who opposed it’—l knew he was all
the time —‘and I want you to go Into that
committee room and move a reconsidera
tion,’ and lie did it. The motion was car
ried, and the speeches are to be printed.”
The House committee stands 10 to 5 on
our resolution.
“Are you related to Senator Anthony?”
asked the reporter.
“Only distantly.”
“There is a supposition that you are re
lated.”
“Yes. I know, and some funny things
1 have occurred about it. A lady was in
troduced to me Rt a reception" and she
said: “I’m so glad to meet you, Mrs. An
thony. I saw your husband in the Senate
to-day. He was pointed out to me as one
of the notables, and I liked him so much.’
That was an actual fact.”
“But the meanest thing that was ever
said about me,” continued Miss An
thony, “was in a AVestern paper soon
after our convention. It was a story
about having a poodle dog and carrying
it in my arms, and it said that 1 took it to
tlie convention and held it in my lap, and
when I got up to speak it curled down at
my feet. There isn’t a word of truth in
it.”
“Have you got a dog?”
‘‘No, and I nerver had one. I never even
spoke to one.”
“But did the President squeeze your
hand?”
“I must tell you how that happened.
AVhen l had finished my speech to him at
the AVhite House that day lie said in the
politest manner possible that he believed
the women ought to have whatever they
wanted. I said, ‘Let’s shake bauds on
that, Mr. President,’ and he took hold of
my hand and held it while he was mak
ing his reply. But it was only a minute
or so.”
“But did he squeeze it?”
“He didn't squeeze it a bit. That was
all there was to it.”
Miss Anthony will remain here a few
weeks longer doing missionary work
among the Congressmen. She is very
popular with everybody, even with the
most violent opponents of woman suf
frage, and is always a great favorite with
children.
A NEIGHBORLY TALK.
The Dissipated Oyster Gives the Mod
est Strawberry Some Advice.
Pittsburgh Telegrajih.
A dissipated oyster that had just com
pleted a winter’s round of orgies at
church fairs and Sunday school suppers
met a young and unsophisticated straw
berry on its first trip from home.
“I’ve an eye on you,” said the oyster,
leering at, the strawberry in a way that
made it blush. “Come up to ’tend the
spring festivals, I suppose ?”
“I thought of so doing, sir,” modestly
replied the strawberry. %
“Going to take in Chautauqua Lake,
Ocean Grove and so on, mebbe?”
“Yes, sir.”
“You’re the short-cake feller that goes
around with his face tied up in sugar and
cream, ain’t you?”
“Really, sir, 1 have seen but little of the
world as yet, but ”
“That’s all right. Now just you take
the advice of an old rounder. I’ve been
through this festival racket. It don’t
pay. It gets people down on you and
ruins your reputation. Short-cakes are
frauds. You keep away from them.
Don’t you go near cream. It’s the worst
thing you can get mixed up with in warm
weather. Just you wait until you see a
feller with a big diamond on his"shirt and
a tombstone on his little finger shaking
ujp some sherry and sugar in a glass.
Keep your vest on until you see him put
on top of the sherry a slice ol pineapple,
a piece of lemon, a chip of orange and a
sprig of mint, and then you get right in
among them and pass the summer in good
society. You hear me twitter?”
A Devil’s Tool of the Itlackfeet.
Portland Oregonian.
Old Indian John brought to town re
cently and presented to Dr. ltaffety a
curious Indian relic, being a neat and
simple contrivance lor punching out a
person’s eyes, formerly used, as he says,
upon Indian doctors who repeatedly
failed to cure their patients. It is of
stone, about a foot long, a half inch thioK
and varying in width from ono inch at
the ends to three inches at the centre,
the width of the latter being caused by a
double-pointed projection on one side,
the points so arranged as to strike each
eye in the centre, while the groove be
tween protects tl\e nose from injury. The
ends were evidently used as handles, by
which the instrument of torture was held
in position while the “unsightly” deed
was accomplished by a blow in the cen
tre,
A Mormon Engagement.
Philadelphia Call.
“My dear,” said a Mormon wife to her
husband, “I should think that you would
be ashamed of yourself flirting with that
Miss B. as you did in church to-day.”
“Flirting with her?” he replied in aston
ishment, “why, we have been engaged for
more than three months. It’s all over
towu.”
“Oh, I beg your pardon,”^said his wife,
indifferently. “If you are engaged to her
I suppose it is all right. When does the
happy event occur?” .
ROMANCE OF TWO FOUNDLINGS.
A Young Girl and Young Man Meet and
tove, but Fear They are Brother and
Sister.
Eighteen years ago a female baby, a
few months old, was found one morning
on the steps of a New York residence, on
East Twenty-third street, says a New
York special of the 31st ult. Marked on
the garments was the word “Dubois.”
She was adopted by a woman of the
same name living in Sullivan county.
She was, on becoming of a reasonable
age, told of thß circumstances of her early
life. She and her foster mother moved to
Chicago, and the young lady became anx
ious to know something of her ancestry.
Learning that people of her name
lived in Brooklyn she wrote Post
master McLeer, giving the circum
stances, requesting him to find out
what he could, if anything to her
advantage, at the same’ time sending
a notice, with the request that he
should post it. The postmaster wrote to
all of the individuals of the name given
which he could find in the directory. Sev
eral replies were received, among them
one from a young man of the same name,
who stated that his early history was not
dissimilar to that of the’ inquiring young
lady. The postmaster turned over to him
the letter received from Miss Jennie Du
bois, and a correspondence was opened
between the two. Finally he visited her,
and it was a clear case of love at first
sight, both being equally impressed with
the other. The first impressions grew
stronger with longer acquaintance, but,
while progressing in their sincere attach
ment, each detected in the other that
which was most convincing that they
were of the same flesh and blood. They
loved and would marry, but there was the
harrowing fear that thev might be brother
and sister. Each desires to find that they
are in no way related.
