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. rial bearings on the panels, and through out the scene he preserved the utmost tortitude. After being cut down his . 1 hke that of a common fcllon, was S, vel ) 1° the surgeons to be anatomized, the impartiality with which tho old eighteenth century hanging laws were ex ited upon men like the Earl of Fer- " , Dr- Dodd was doubtless one use why they continued so long in force,—N.

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.— Lexington Transcript.

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.

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. 7—:——— 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.
