Servant Killing.
The number of men who, in sudden
Eli of passion, have killed their ser
vants is, in modern times at least, not
large. Probably the most remarkable
ass, both for the rank of the criminal
and the rigid impartiality of his trial, is
that of Laurence, Earl of Ferrers, who
ns hanged for murder mure than one
hundred years ago. His family were
rich and noble, and traced their ances
try back to the reign of Edward the
Confessor. Their crest, still worn by a
succeisorof the ill-starred Earl, bears
the lofty sounding motto, Honor virtu-
I tii premium—Honor is tho reward of
fidelity. The crime of the unfortunate
nobleman was the shooting of bis stew-
[ ard, who had angered him by inatten
tion to his orders, and who, in a subse
quent altercation, so excited the Earl
that the latter got his pistol, returned
to the scene of the quarrel, and fired
| the fatal shot. The steward lingered a
j ot two and died in great agony. A
I warrant was issued by tho nearest Jus
tice of the Peace and the Earl was ar
rested. He pleaded in excuse that “the
| fellow’s conduct had been iusupporta-
' le, and that he only got what he de
wed.” Being a member of the House
I of Lords, the titled murderer was grant
ed i hearing before that august body.
It was proved that he had quarreled
with his wife, and that his nonduct for
yearshad been morose, violent and ec
centric. Their Lordships, however,
found him rational in thought and
speech, and after a careful examination
pronounced him sano to all intents and
purposes. He was convicted by a large
majority, and sentenced to be hanged
as a common felon nt Tyburn. The
execution took place the 5th of May,
j 11GO, in the presence of an immense
multitude, drawn thither by the unu
sual spectacle of a lord suffering on the
gallows. The Earl waH allowed to ride
to Tyburn in his own coach with armo.

The Kiiten’s Dinner.
Two little girls, the eldest not yet five
years of age, had a present of a kitten
the other day.
It was the first time in all their little
lives that a cat of any age had ever
been in the house, and they were as de
lighted as possible, and &b full of won
der over all its ways and doings as if it
had been a rare animal from some for
eign land.
“What shall kitty have for her din
ner, mamma?” asked Lulu, climbing
down from her high chair when the
dinner was over.
“Oh, you can fix her up something
on a plate,” replied mama hastily, as
she went into the sitting room, for she
was very busy with some sewing, and
forgot that her little girls knew nothing
about feeding kittens.
Five minutes later Bridget poked her
head in at the door.
“Plaze, mem, just do come out and
see thim children.”
Mama dropped her sewing and fol
lowed Bridget. On the floor behind
the kitchen stove eat Lulu and Ella,
either side of a large dinner plate, by
which stood the kitten, ns if puzzled
what to do about it.
And what do you supposo theso two
little dunces had put on the plate for
that kitten to eat ?
Well, there was a large slice of wheat
bread and butter, a generous spoonful
of cider apple sauce, a pickle, and a
huge pile of plumpudding fairly
drowned in sour sauce.
Mama laughed, kitty ran under the
stove, and the little girls both cried be
cause kitty would not eat the nice din
ner they had fixed for her.
But Bridget went and got her a sau
cer of warm milk, and the children for
got all their trouble in seeing hor lap
t up.
A Grand Scheme.
General Fremont, now Governor of
Arizona, proposes to advocate personally,
before the proper authorities in Wash
ington, his plan for bringing the waters
of the Gulf of California back to what
is supposed to be their old basin in
Southern California. The basin, which
is now a dry and sandy desert, is two
hundred miles long, fifty miles wide
and in its cenlral part is three hundred
and fifty feet below the level of the sea.
It lies between Southern California and
Arizona, and is unfit for the sustenance
of man or beast. Between the upper
end of the gulf of California and the
basin or valley in question a ridge of
land interposes. Through this it is
proposed by Gen. Fremont’s plan to cut
a canal for a distance of ten miles to a
lake about twenty miles long, and at the
other end of the lake oontinue the canal
some fifeten miles more. The coBt
might be 81,000,000 and time necessary
for the work perhaps six months, but
the General contends that the benefit to
the State of California and Arizona
would be incalculable. The great
wants of Arizona are water and mois
ture. The introduction of this great
body of water would change the whole
face of things. In shore, it would make
the whole surrounding country to blos
som like the rose. In the opinion of the
governor the canal should be made deep
and weid enough to admit such vessels
aud steamers as sail the Pacific.
About to Wool Wolley.
There was a funny scene yesterday at
Anderson & McCann’s. The Rev. Dr.
BnrrowB and Mr. Frank Woolley were
introduced to eaoh other, and the fol
lowing dialogue ensued;
“Were you not an inmate of the hos
pital at Fort Delarware in 1864 ?” asked
Dr. Burrows.
“I was,” replied Mr. Woolley.
“I occupied the bed on your right,”
said Dr. B.
“Why, Doctor,” exclaimed Mr. W.
you are the man whose blanket I stole
that bitter cold night.”
“And you are the very man I havo
been looking for these fifteen long years,”
retorted Dr. B., at tho same time pull
ing off his coat and rolling up his
sleeves in mock anger. _
“Hold on, Dootor,” pleaded Mr. W.,
“another preacher had just stolen my
blanket, and I had to take yonr to get
even.”
Tho episode was a most pleasing one,
aud immensely enjoyed by all parties.—

New York, Jt
in the grain market was increased to
day, and wheat further advanced from
two to four cents. It is uncertain
whether or not the rise is healthy. It
is what may be termed “crop scare,
and has arisen from the reports of bad
weather in Europe and the Northwest.
Should the reports be confirmed within
a few days, it is very probable that the
present prices may be even further ad
vanced, but at present quiet and regu
lar traders do not feel very anxious at
the rise, and look upon it as the annual
return of the “soare.
- The importation of orookery has de-
creased by about one half in the last
ten years. English manufacturers have
concluded that the Amerioan market is
rapidly closing to them, and ^English
capital is being employed in the estab-
ment of new interests fa this country.
At Vassar commencement 86 young
Bishop Haven on the South,
New York Herald.
Bishop Haven has once more come
North, out of Georgia, to keep cool, and,
as usunal, he thinks the South all wrong.
In parts of Georgia, he reports, the ne
groes. no longer mako contracts for
planting, because they are wronged and
and robbed, and get no justice in the
courts. . It was remarkable that in Geor
gia, which has bsen longer than any
other Southern State under the control
of democrats, the negrors, abused and
wronged he asserts, accumulated more
real estate than in all the other cotton
States together. The Bishop says more
blacks go to school than whites; and he
thinks they will become large landhold
ers, by rason of their superior intelligence
and. industry. As to the exodus, he
advises the colored people to scatter
themselves over the North,, in which he
argrees with Senator Butler of, Sjiuth
Carolina.
On the whole, it seems a pity that
the negro’s face is black. If he were
white we should say, froin the good
Bishop’s account of him, that he was
getting on remarkable well, and might
safely be left to work out his own future;
but being black, he cannot possibly get
along without perpetual advice and
coddling. We wonder if the colored
people of Georgia are not secretly a lit
tle tired of the Bishop ? It must be tedi
ous to the sensible among them to have
him all the time reminding them that
they are not men, but qnly black men.

Deserted by His English Com
rades*
New York Tribune.]
It is a singular fact that the poor lad
who was left in so cowardly a way by
his English escort to he stabbed to death
by thp Zulus, was the first of a family
that nos been the cause, of drenching
the eartn in blood who has died in the
field. The Bonapartes, from the fat;
ease-loving Charles, the father of them
all, down to Napoleon III., although
not lacking in personal courage, bad a
certain heavy, sluggish inertia which
somehow seemed to make them proof
against bullets. If the hard, keen
Madame Mere gave them their indomi
table will and iuexorablo ambition,
which defied danger, they inherited
from CharleB a sodden, cold, selfish flesh
which managed in the midst of danger
to take care of itself. They all died in
their beds except this poor boy, who
seems to have been reokless of his per
son to foolhardiness, a trait which came
to him probably with the drop of Irish
blood from his mother.
Some of the Republican papers are
making a loud hullabaloo over the al
leged remark of Senator Beck that the
deputy marshal laws must be repealed
next winter in order to insure “a Dem
ocratic victory in the elections oj 1880.”
We don’t know whether Senator Beck
ever said anything of the kind or not,
But if he did say it, what is there
wrong about it? Under the existing
laws the party in power in tho Execu
tive Department can control elections
so as to defeat a majority of the people
and setup minority rule. This has
been repeatedly demonstrated. With
a corps of several thousand Radical
bulldozers, to be paid for from the pub
lic funds, the ins can keep in for all
time, the theory of the Government can
be set aside and the majority in subor
dination to the minority. The repeal
of such laws will give eaoh party an
equal and fair chance. That is why
Senator Beck desires the repeal, and
that is why the Republicans so bitterly
and persistently oppose it.
The first kindergarten in St. Louis
was established in 1873. Now .there
are in the city over fifty public kinder
gartens, in which between four and five
thousand children are to be found. The
kindergarten is compulsory (and no
charge for school material enforced) in
so far that children under seven and a
half, if sent to a primary school, must
spend half the school day in a kinder
garten, unless they have previously
been in one for two years. Already the
kindergarten songs have, to a large ex
tent, replaoed the silly rigmaroles that
the children used to sing when together.
There are men who claim that the kin
dergarten will make a model oity of St.
Louis in the next generation.
A brother and sister, aged 12 and 9,
inmates of the House of Reform at
Greenburg, Ind , packed a little wagon
full of food and clothes from the store
room and escaped with the stuff. When
overtaken the girl was hugging a doll
baby and riding upon tho wagon, being
pulled by her brother. They left their
wagon and fled into the woods, where
they were captured.
