Persons leaving the city for tho summer can have the Morning News forwarded by the earliest fast mails to any address at the xate of 25c. a week, $1 for a month or $2 50 for three months, cash invariably in ad vance. The address may be changed as often as desired. In directing a change care should be taken to mention the old as well as the npw address. Those who desire to have their homo paper ■promptly delivered to them while away 'should leave their subscriptions at the Busi- OTtss Office. Special attention will be given tomake this summer service satisfactory and ’to forward papers by iho most direct and quickest routes. The weather is warm, but only the police can induce a man to spend a night in “the cooler.” As an indication of their beiief in Demo cratic success next year, it is said that the Republican papers are offering their cuts of roosters cheap for cash. “The hammocks in use at the summer re sorts this year are not large enough for two,” says an exchange. Then flirtation has lost a valuable aid. Somebody has discovered that every State in the Union has a “Gate City.” A little closer inspection would have shown that in such places there is usually more gate than city. One of the most senseless statements ever made is that women go to church to see what other women wear. They go so that what they wear may be seen by other women. An observant New Yorker says that Savannah is the only city in Georgiu that is not dependent upon outside capita). This is a merited compliment to Savannah’s solid business men. There is considerable stir in Georgia over the alleged desire of Gov. Gordon to be United States Senator. This is a case in which it seems to Ihj folly to cross a bridge before coming to it. Just after the war a negro was happiest when hunting rabbits. A few years later he was happiest when carrying an umbrella Now he is happiest when he can rise in a public assemliiy and say, “Mr. President.” Mr. Blaine lias been the guest of the Hon. William E. Gladstone. They did not cele brate by cutting down a tree, but no doubt they mentioned to each other certain politi cal heads which they would like to cut off. Just now two kinds of jubilee mugs are common in London. One is the kind given by the Queen to the children in Hyde Park, and the other is the kind made red and swollen by partaking too freely of jubilee juice. An Italian fortune-teller in New York says: “To perfume your rooms in order to kill bedbugs throw in hot coals a quarter of an ounce of gum.” He can hardly menu that such a quantity of chewing gum must be wasted. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. A man who put a dollar in the contribution liox at a church in New York, the other day, withdrew it when the deacon jvuised to store at him, and sulistituted a counter feit nickel. A Southwest Georgian’s pretty daughter is guarded by a ferocious bull dog. It is •trange t hat tho young men in the neighbor hood do not make friends with the dog by giving it a piece of moat sprinkled with strychnine. A “prominent Republican” in Philadel phia sorrowfully remarks: “There is one thing nbout tho New South I don’t like: It is too solid for the Democracy. ” It is just this solidity that pleases tho friends of the Now Booth.

Tho question of restricting immigration from Europe, or stopping it altogether, is bound to attract wide attention in tho noar future. It is already being discussed quite extensively. There are some who favor levying a tax upon immigrants, and others who advocate admitting only those who have well filled purses. The discussion of the subject and the expressions of opinion with regard to it indicate a growing oppo sition to immigrants and an increamng de sire to accept only those who give promise of becoming good citizens and of quickly adapting themselves to the customs of the country. There are several reasons for the growing h< utility to immigrants. One is that there is a disposition on the part of the governments of Europe to make the United States the dumping ground for their paupers. Only a few days ago paupers were sent back to England from-both New York and Phila delphia. They were without any means of support, and the exiHUisos of their passage had been paid by the English government. Another reason is the increasing number of Socialists and Anarchists who, driven from their native lands because of their re fusal to respect the laws, come to this coun try, not the purpose of being good citi zens and making homes for themselves and their families, but to excite strife and dis sensions. It uted to lx‘ said that Anarchists could do no harm here, becauso tho ]>eople were so contented with their surroundings and their prosjiecto of getting ahead in the world that they would not listen to them. It is admitted now, however, that these agitators are dangerous to society, and that they will cause great trouble in the noar future if thoy are not dealt with promptly and firmly. There are still other reasons, but the two given are sufficient to show that the grow ing hostility to immigrants has quite a solid foundation. The question which presents itself in this connection, however, is this: Ought immigration to be stopjied, or to any great extent restricted, because there are objectionable immigrants? It is true we don’t want the paupers and the anarchists, and would be glad if other kinds who do not appear to be able to rise above the condition they occupied in Europe could be prevented from coming, but we do want the thrifty aud intelligent people, who will help to increase the greatness ami prosperity of the country. Immigrants have con tributed lurgely to making tho nation what it is. They are producers as well as con sumers, and they produce a great deal more than they consume. They become thor oughly Americanized and take more pride in their udopted than in their native land. The belief entertained by some that the country will soon ail be occupied, aud that native Americans will be crowded by immi grants, has little foundation. There is room for hundreds of millions of people, and the time when the United States will have all the population they can sustain is very far in the future. Wealth is greatest in tho States which un most thickly populated There are a good many of the States which would gladly welcome thrifty immigrants. This State, for instance, could sustain easily several times its present population, and the aver age material condition of the people would be better than it is now. While it might bo wise to place certain restrictions upon immigration it would boa mistake to check it. It is probable that there would not lie a great deal of op|s>si tion to the enactment of laws against ob jectionable immigration but there would be to laws shutting out all immigrants. Null and Void? A siecial from Pensacola says that some of the best lawyers of that city hold that all the acts of the recent session of tho Leg islature of that State are null and void for the reason that the Senate was not legally organized. The point made is this: Tho new constitution provides that tho Sen ate shall elect one of its own memliei-s per manent President, and that no person hold ing a lucrative Federal or State office shall hold the position. Lieut. Gov. Mabry presided over the Sen ate. Tho provision of tho new constitution requiring tho election of a member of the Senate for permanent President was not complied with. The only excuse that Lieut. Mabry had for presiding was that the new constitution provides thut tho office of Lieutenant Govoruor shall not become va cant until after the expiration of the term of tho present incumbent, but it does not provide that he slioll preside over the Sen ate. The point has some merit, but it is doubt ful if it will hold good. Doubtless it was considered by the Senate before that l*xly permitted the Lieutenant Governor to pre side. It 1s hardly probable that the provision of the new constitution requiring tho elec tion of a permanent officer csoajxvl the at tentiou of all the members of the legisla ture, some of whom helped to frame the new constitution. It is u question whether the provision of the new constitution which continues tho present Lieutenant Governor in office does not also, by implication, authorize him to perform the duties which belonged to that office at the time of his election. If able lawyers, however, consider that tho Benato was illegally organized, an effort may be made to prevent Senator Pasco from taking his seat when Congress meets. The United States Senate is very close, and the Republicans would not be slow to seize u|k>u any legitimate excuse to keep a Dem ocratic Senator out of hi scat. The Whitaker Street Paving. The work of paving Whitaker street is progressing quite satisfactorily, and the prospect is thnt within a month or so it will be completed to Henry street. Tho only obstruction to it is the switch at Bolton street. The street railroad conipuny Ills been ready for some timo to remove tho switch but it is prevented from doing so by the Sanitary Commission, or someone act ing under i*s authority. There does not n]>- pear to bo any good reason why the switch should not be removed. It is hardly proba ble that the public health would suffer from its removal. It is composed of a few bars of iron aud a hundred or so of cross-ties, and in taking them up the ground would be but slightly disturbed. Tho paving of Whitaker street should not be interrupted without excellent reasons, ami it doesn’t a|>- pear that the switch in question affords good reasons. Mr. Morris Fried ham, of the Third inter nul revenue district of New York, says tko Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Nun, enjoys the distinction of being the only Republican internal revenue collector loft in office in the whole United States. The force under him is almost exclusively com posed of Democi-ats. It would seem that Mr. Friedliaui would feel so lonesome that be would resign without further delay. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. JUNE 26, 1887-TWELYE PAGES. Not a Subject for Sympathy. Some of the Western papers are express ing sympathy* for Mr. E. L. Harper, Vice President of the wrecked Fidelity National Bank of Cincinnati. They are disposed to excuse him because he is young,and dashing in his style of conducting gambling ofiera tions. There is no doubt that he is a very able business mnn, and that he has achieved some remarkable successes. He is about :>('> years of age and has made and lost two or three fortunes. But what reason is there for excusing him or expressing sympathy for him; Almost any man of nerve enn ncliiove success in gambling operations if he have unlimited capital at his command. Harper lacked commercial honesty, and had no hesitation in applying other people's money to his own use. He occupied a posi tion of trust and confidence and he proved unfaithful. He lost millions of money to which he had no right whatever. He took the money because it was within his reach. If there is any reason for sympathizing with him in his downfall there ls reason for sympathizing with the smart thief who has been caught after a successful career of crime. If influential newspapers excuse men like Harper there will soon be no re spect for commercial honesty. Young men who are entering upon their business career will be led to believe that success is every thing and that integrity counts for nothing. They will strive to get money without re gard to the means to be employed to get it. Honest men will be sneered at as plodders, while the reseal will be applauded if he be successful and excused if he fail. No, the country is hardly ready yet to accept such men as Ferdinand Ward and E. L. Harper as examples for the youth of the country to follow. Love’s Tragedies. . If the chronicles of the past are worthy of credence, lovers’ quarrels in olden times jvere frequent, but it was seldom that they result -1 in bloodshed. Asa rule thoy were affairs of but a moment, or, at the most, of but a few days. Anger soon gave way to the gentler passion, and kisses sealed the uewly-made peace. When a maiden re jected a suitor he sometimes grow thin and pile from disappointment, but it was not often tha* 'us despair caused him to take his own lif \ and still less often that insane rage led hi > take the life of the maiden ■who had rejected him. At the present lovqys’ quarrels not infre quently result seriously. Suicide on account of disappointment in affairs of the heart is quite common. Rejected suitors seom to bo the prey of the worst passions, for they often kill the maidens for whom they had but a little while before professed the most ardent affection. A shocking tragedy, which illustrates the proneness of rejected suitors to commit murder, occurred the other day in Putnam county, Tenn. Near Cookeville, in the county just mentioned, there lived a well-to-do farmer named William Davis. He had a daughter just budding into womanhood, who was a favorite with all who knew her. Among her admirers was a young man named John W. Green, who had long paid her devoted attention. He was deeply in lo\*e with her, or, at least, he pro tested that he Nvas, and Anally ask<-d her to marry him. The young lady, it seems, did not entertain a tender feeling for him, but, on the contrary, bestowed her affections on another young man of the neigh borhood, whom she agreed to mar ry. Such was the strength of young Green’s love for her, that after all his pleadings and avowals of undying affection for her had proved unavailing ho was driven to the point of desperation. Rather than see her become tho wife of another he pre ferred to see her die and then to put an end to his own existence. Armed with a pistol he sought her, and asked her once more to marry him. She again refused. Ho then drew the pistol and deliberately shot her dead. He followed this dreadful act with an attempt to take Ills own life, but although he fired four liallsinto his Ixxly he failed to carry out his purpose. Ho was carried home in a dan gerous condition, but his mother refused to send for a physician, saying that if her son should recover he would be hanged. Perhaps if parents would be more careful about the male associates of their daughters there would bo fewer tragedies like that just descriliod. During the last session of the General As sembly Hon. Martin Calvin, of Richmond county, introduced a resolution in the House providing for the appointment of a commit tee to make a thorough study of the convict question during the recess, with a view to the preparation of a bill which should give the State a satisfactory penitentiary system. The resolution was defeated, because the rubers of the House were afraid thnt tho ►ointment of tho committee would lead to the ex[enditure of a few dollars. Mr. Calvin's plan, however, commended itself very generally to the people. The convict question is of too much importance to be disposed of hastily, nor should it be dis cussed intoirqioratcly, as some recent indica tions suggest that it will bo when tho Gen eral Assembly convenes for the summer ses sion. Ireland is the only civilized country in the world which did not share in the cele bration of Queen Victoria's jubilee. United Ireland , Mr. William O'Brien’s paper, says of the fact: “She stood sternly and sorrow fully aloof. Ireland’s place ought to have been beside England at the throne. Irish blood and brain helped to build tho empire. Poverty, misery and slavery are her re ward. She shared England’s lalsus, but she may not share her triumphs. England’s joy is for fifty years of liberty, prosperity and progress. The Irish grief and wrath are for fifty years of misery, famine and oppression. England is cumbered by the struggles of a sullen captive, when she might purchase by justice the aid and com fort of a friend.” A peculiar sentence, which is virtually banishment from tho United States, is at tracting interest at Canton, O. Stanislaus Loishat is in jail, charged with stabbing Dr, E. O. Portman witli intent to kill. It was proposod by the prosecution that if the friends of Loishat would send him to France, where lie should stay and never return, he would lie released; otherwise, ho would be tried at once. The conditions were agreed to, and Loishat will soon start to serve his sentence of banishment. There seems to be no such tiling in Ohio ns compounding a felony. Queen Knpiolani, far away in London, sighs when she thinks of the .jfc.ooo the Bos tonians spent, in buying llowers for her. She doubtless wishes that tho money had lieen expended for ammunition for her hus band, King Kalakaun. old and feeble, Hon. Jefferson Davis is one of the few men whoso utter ances a iways command attention. CURRENT COMMENT. She Will Not Reniotaber Them. From the Baltimore American {Rep.) Now that Queen Victoria has been remem bered by her subjects, she. in turn, should not forget them. A proclamation emancipating Ireland wottld he a most fitting return for the honors heaped upon her. Flags and Emblems in England. From the Few York IVorlti (Deni.) John Bull is becoming as irritable as the aver age l*>vine on the subject of colored (lags and emblems. Only the other day an English man of-war bore down on a small yacht and sternly forced the Irish member of Parliament who owned it to haul down the green Hag which he Irad flying at his boat's masthead. A Pitiful Business. From the Philadelphia Record (Dem). What a pit if ill business for men with a nice sense of honesty is this gambling in wheat, pork, corn and other food products. The counters of the gamesters aro mode from the lifeblood of the people, and to succeed iu the game is usually to lose all that honorable men hold dear. Yet it cannot bo doubted t hat the Cincinnati scoundrels who flung millions of other people's money into a losing venture were regarded iu those parts as very good men in their way. The Negro Exodus. From the Chattanoooa Times (Dem). It is current in the Northern Republican press that negroes arc leaving South Caroliua in great numbers for Arkansas and other Western States. Well, what of it? The negro is free to go where he listetli. If more of him of certain classes will go, keep going until he reaches Africa and stay there, this country will he greatly benefited by the exodus. The South could spare a round half of its negro population with signal ad vantage to the section directly' and to the coun ti'y generally. BRIGHT BITS.

A little man with a pleasant smile and a far away look in his eyes quietly seated himself in Richard Faulkner’s restaurant, on Chambers street, at noon, and gave his order to one of Mr Faulkner's waiters. Tho little man brought forth a tunned edition of •■She," and became so much absorbed In his reading that he failed to hear the sweet strains of "Peek-a-boo" that came fioating in at the open door. He failed also to notice that the music was produced by that most classic of instruments, the hand organ, and that a monkey came in with the music. A long rope trailed after tho monkey, and a smiling son of Italy was attached to the other end. Casting his eye about for somebody likely to have small change, the monkey descried the little man with a book, and, softly approaching, climbed on the table, and seating himself before the intent reader, doffed his cap. Still the little nmn went on reading. The monkey tried to at tract the man’s attention by chattering, and finding himself ignored, became incensed, whipped the book out of the hands of the aston ished little man, and made a home run for the door. But he did not escape so easily The thin lariat caught on the legs of a table full of dishes and glassware, upsetting it with a fearful crash and breaking the rope in twain. The monkey, finding himself free, nimbly mounted to the top of a high cupboard and sat chattering defiantly at his master, who now stood vainly coaxing his troublesome charge to come down from his elevated perch. The littlo man berated the bewildered organ-grinder for allowing his monkey to take suen liberties with a stranger. The proprietor Of the restaurant sent for a step-ladder. The diners were con vulsed with laughter. A ladder was brought, and a waiter climbed after the runaway monkey, who scratched and bit and clung to the hair of the unfortunate man, who, however, handed him over to his owner. He was again tied to the treacherous rope. The musician apoligized in broken Eng lish and hurriedly retired, followed by- the curses of the little man and of the proprietor, who threatened to have the Italian arrested for creating a disturbance. The novel, much the worse for rough usage, was passed hack to tha little man, who resumed his reading. The overtuned table was righted, the broken glass ware and crockery were gathered up. and the dining-room took on its usual air of quiet and repose. SHE REJECTED THE CHINAMAN. Then Lee Wing Hing Went Crazy—A Joliet Sunday School Episode. A dispatch from Joliet, 111., to the New York World says: Lee Wing Hing, a tolerably good looking laundryinan of this place, was taken to Chicago for medical treatment, having become a Howling and dangerous maniac through unre quited love for his female Sunday School teacher. For over a year Lee has been attending Sunday school here in company with four other almond eyed pupils, and during this time, while making but slow progress in his religious studies, he gave evidence of unusual aptitude in making love to his fair teacher. At different times he luvished his affection on several of the young ladles, and in one case even w ent so far as to in vest a considerable sum in a diamond ring, which he presented to his fair enslavor pro tern. The presentation, however, came to the notice of the pastor, who ordered the girl to return the bauble, much to Lee’s astonishment. A week ago last Sunday, Lee, who had by this time succumbed to the charms of a fourth di vinity, proposed marriage to her. The girl, tickled by the novelty of the offer, did not de cline at once, but said she would let him know in a week. Last Snnday she told her Celestial admirer that she never could be his. Lee at once left the school, and proceeding to a neigh boring opium joint entered upon a desperate de bauch. The spree lasted until yesterday, when the laundryman, brandishing a huge knife, sud denly appeared on the street and threatened to carve an v one who approached him. He charged up and down the streets for some time terroriz ing all who came in his way, but finally a police man gave him a tap on tho head with a locust, and before Lee could recover his already befud dled senses he was handcuffed anil locked up. To-day he was taken to Chicago by a wealthy relative for medical treatment. As he was being bundled into the train he exciiyimed: "Melican gal no good; Lee go crazy! Too bad;” Ghosts of Dead Lovers. i.

Tho Point is in the Application. From the Lewiston Journal. A well-known parson in Lewiston has been trying to put up curtain shade* this week.

Mr. 8., how' do they go?” “Eh,” says the parson, “they go; well, they go n good deal as Mr. Boggs’ hull. You’ve heard about him?” "Never,” was the reply. “Well, then, it was the first pastorate I preached, and one of my first, prayer meetings in the pastorate. Things had come to a stand still. Nobody bad anything to say. I was young and somewhat frightened at the silence, and hardly know what to do. 1 felt that I must say something, however, and so I exhorted the people to say what ihe spirit moved, to discuss things, to give testimony on trlval matters if need lie. Suddenly up rose Mr. Boggs. He had something to say, and ho said it, and this is how lie began It. I never got any further than the beginning of Mr. Boggs' testimony, for that points the nJtusion.

Carelessly. From the Philadelphia Newt. I was present in a drug store when the com pounder was handed a prescription signed by a well-known doctor calling fora combination of calomel and muriate of ammonia. Bad the two been joined a poisonous compound would have been the result. The druggist refused to (111 the prescription.

Only a few nights ago 1 saw a physician write a pre scription in a drug store, "Why. doctor,” said tho compounder, when ho had read It, “yon surely don’t mean acetate of ammonia?” “Certainly I do,” said /Esculapltu, haughtily, “Are you sure, doctor?” said the druggist, pleasantly, “Don't you mean muriate of am monia?” “Yes.

Buford Ely, at Paint Lick, Ky . has an old cat that ia nursing and raising four young rabbits with her kittens. The Buffalo friends of Mr. O'Brien are get ting even with Toronto people by snubbing all who visit the former place. The vigorous Saxon name, Hell's Bend, ap plied to a spot in Illinois, has Iteen changed to the seductive title, Pleasant Grove. It is a curious scientific fact that all the ele ments of the poison found in a rattlesnake are inherent in the common Irish potato. In Germany householders are allowed to treat trespassing cats and dogs as beasts of prey; that is, they can kill them in any way they choose. Ax applicant for a teacher’s certificate in a California town on being requested to name four animals of the torrid zone wrote “two lions and two elephants. - ’ In Paris small pots of clotted cream, slightly sour, are sold for a few pence. This cream is called St. Gervais; it is excellent when eaten alone, but still better with fresh fruit or with ■ tarts. The other day an old woman got off the train at St. Ignace, Mich., with a cross-cut saw and a musket, mop and broom, pail of soft soap and coop of chickens, an old-fashioned clock, several packages, and some buckets. A Tennessee newspaper contains the follow ing: “We are rejoiced to know that J. C. Rock helt, that prince of gentlemen and czar of cul ture. has secured the contract for building the plank sidewalk in front, of the Gibbons’ block. He is a gentleman of the old school and knows a good piece of plank when he sees it.” Dannie Sullivan, of Boston, jumped on a low shed to get a ball the other evening and stumbled over two electric light wires, thus completing a circuit and sending a tremendous current of electricity through nis little body. When found he was dead, his clothing was burning, and the flesh in contact with the wires was burned to a crisp. Among the callers at the President’s last re ception was a young mother, who carried a child in her arms. The President dropped the grown-up smile with which he had been greet ing his callers and said, "Hello, little one, bow d’ye do?” The child promptly stretched forth its arms and leaned forward and planted, a kiss upon the Presidential cheek. The Chinese Foreign Board has .issued a cir cular to the effect that the government is con structing a railway from Tientsin to the Sha hwo gate at Pekin, to be finished within two years, and that the owners of any graves in the way of the new line must find anew site and remove the coffins. This shows that the fung shui superstition is dying out. That some rich families are left among the old French nobility is illustrated by the case of the late Duke of Earochefoucauld-Dondeauville, who, during his lifetime, gave away more than 3,000,000 francs for charitable objects, and yet left to his heir, Larochefoui auld-Bisaccia, over 30.000,000. The latter already had an income of $310,000 a year before he received this sum. Mr. and Mbs. Walter Whinery, of Bitter Root valley, Montana, discovered in a pine tree a large mountain lion. Mrs. Whinery agreed to stand guard while her husband went for a gun. She filled her apron with rocks, and every time the lion started to come down she would hurl a bowlder at him, keeping him in place until her husband returned with the gun and shot the lion dead. A man at Geneseo, 111., took sick the other night and sent his nephew out for some pills. The young man, finding the drug stores all closed and one solitary grocery open, entered and procured a handful of small white beans. When he got home he filled a pill box in his room with beans and took them to his' uncle. The beans were taken and proved quite effica cious, as the man recovered the following day. Rev. Dr. Tillett, of University, recei ,tly visited a Mormon Sunday school while in Salt Lake City. As he entered the infant class department a temporary teacher was say tag; “Well, boys, where is your teacher?” They all replied Promptly in concert: “In the penitentiary.” The teacher then asked, “Is he there for doing right or for doing wrong?” All replied “For doing right.” Dr. Tillett learned afterward that the man in question was serving a term for bigamy. A man dug a well 25 feet from a eucalyptus tree, lined it with cement, and placed over it a substantial cover. The water was carried to the house from the well in a wooden pipe. In that wooden pipe was p knothole. In time the well began to give out. The water, too, was acquir ing a strange taste. Explorations developed the fact that the well had been filled up with masses of eucalyptus roots. The tree had run a root straight for the knot hole, 25 feet off, and by that method gained the well itself Some years ago a wealthy citizen of Bahren feld, in the Duchy of Hplstein, promised a worthy married man of that town that he would give a house to the man’s twelfth child, if he should have that many. In due time No. 12 arrived, and the proud father asked the wealthy citizen to make good bis promise. This he re fused to do, saying that the whole thing was a joke. The father then went to law about it, and, although the promise was only a verbal one, the court not only decided in favor of No. 12, but authorized the plaintiff to choose .which ever one of the defendant's houses he lilted best. Not lono ago a wag changed the notice “Wait until the train stops,” in a car of the London underground railway, to “Wait until the rain stops.” The next day, which happened to be a rainy day, a French gentleman got into the car and read the notice, and though sur prised at it, determined loyally to obey the rules of the road. At every station he asked a porter if it was still raining, and on receiving an affirmative reply, went back to his seat. And it was not until after he had ridden far beyond bis destination that he discovered bis mistake. He now thinks as little of English wit as he does of the English climate. Mr. Gladstone relates that when be was a young and ardent Tory at Oxford, he ventured to expostulate with a Liberal workman who was taking part in the reform agitation. Mr. (Hailstone urged him to beware of these revolu tionary notions, and besought, him to take warning by the fate of France. The honest workman listened respectfully for a time, and then broke out with a reply” which Mr. Glad - stone to this day admits was conclusive. "D your foreign nations!” said he. “What has that got to do with old England?” Mr. Gladstone thinks Englishmen to-dny are too apt to assume just that attitude towards foreign opinion on home rule. An interesting discovery was made at Win chester Cathedral during the construction of the tomb to hold the remains of Bishop Courte nay. A workman, in making an opening in the choir wall, exposed De Blois’ leaden coffer, in which that Bishop had enshrined tho bones of his uncle Richard, the second son of the con queror, who was killed by a stag in the New forest. Richard’s hones were thus preserved by King Stephen’s brother, and the coffer, alter some seven centuries, remains perfect. The in scription denotes that the coffer contains the hones of Richard, but the words “Beorm Dux” lends antiquarians to believe that the coffer a Iso holds the bones of Earl Beorm, Nephew of Canute. An examination, by the order of the I)cau, will lie made, A llarrisburo (Pa.) special says: “A heavy thunder storm came up while Charles Klnzlo man was cutting grass for his cow on Col. .1. H. Dick’s farm, near Fredericksburg, on Saturday. The cow was standing twenty feet away, teth ered by a rope. Kmzleman started for the house with his scythe on his shoulder. He hail taken hut a step or two when there came a flash of lightning, and he felt his scythe jerked vio lently from his hand. On looking around he saw his cow lying on the ground with the scythe blade burled in her side. Kinzlenmn felt no shock. The cow was dead, but whether killed by the lightning or by thp scythe, which had evidently been struck by the electric fliiiu and hurled against her, Is not known, ns no marks were found upon her except the wound made by the scythe blade,” A miner named Robbins got a verdict in El Paso, Tex., against the Life Telephone Com pany for SB7B, liecaiiHO of aa electric shock riven him by Belle.
