ENGLAND’S GREAT SHAME.
Tbo ruling topic of the hour in
every civilized laud is the fright
fill exposure of London’s social
rotieness oy the Pall Mall Gazette:
Never before in the world’s his
tory lias such a black and infamous
system of wide spread and powei
ful vjlliany been revealed to the
public gaze. 7’he Gazetft's
charg s do not contain the names
of the guilty parties, but the other
details are given with such precis
ion mat any detective of ordinary
intelligence could locate the crim
iush in twenty-four hours. Bead
ing between lines millions of Brit
ons at a glance recognize the pub
lic enemies thus held up as the
objects of a nation’s burnings corn.
It must be recccllected that this
this remarkable crusade is direct
ed against no ordinary crirnina's.
It concerns itself withe highest in
the land : with the Loads and
Biions of England's haughtiest
houses, wi.h iLe gilded youth 4
members of parliament baronets
and dukes, and so on, not sparing
even the prince who stands next
to the throne.
Web may Mr. Spurgeon, Eng
land s greatest preacher, “1 feel
bowed down with shame aud >ne
dignation !” But it will always
remembered to the honor of this
wise and good man that he had the
judgement and moral courage to
place himself on the side of the
right shoulder to shoulder with the
masses and ranks of society. Cards
inal Manning, the earl of Shaftesr
bury and few otners of high posi
tion, nobly discarded obe preju
dices of rank and caste, and gave
the Gazette their hearty support
in ilsgool work. Mr. Spurgeon
expressed the feeling of tnese
brave retonners when he said ;
“This is a loathsome business,
but even the sewers must cleaned.
Spare no; thevillians, even though
wearing stars aud garters !”
A*i hough this is a fight for mor
al reform, it is nevertheless a fight
iu which the social lines are sharp
ly ill awn. The middle classes
and honest poca aie aroused to
ihe highest pitch of fury against
the vicous uoblemen and wealthy
roues, who are systematically de
bauching tlnir daughters, conspir
ing for tbe-r ruin at home and
permitting them to be exported
abroad to gratify foreign lust. Ut
is dangerous to tamper with the
common people in a matter of mis
kind. The outrage committee by
Tarquins brutal son upon Lucretia
caused the people to rise and ex
pell the whole brrod of tyrants.
Just such vices ou the part of the
French nobles brought their heads
to the gnillotine in 1792. History
is full of such examples, and tlie
led eroous lords and plutocrats of
Brittain will be, blind indeed if they
do not take warning iu time.
It is true that the Pail Mall Ga->
zette and its friends are vigorously
opposed by a powerful influence.
Even in this country the point.is
made by such papers as the New
York Herald that* the great ci bb
from the earliest times have .al
ways been the hot beds of vice.
New York aud Chicago are said
to as wicked as Paris or London,
and all of them are probabaly as
bad as Rome and Athens ever
were. The ir. chastity ex
posed by the London paper has
slways existrd it is claimed an I
must exist in large citices where
there are extremes of wealth and
poverty. If such is urged in this
countrp, it may be imagined how
much more strongly it is arged in
England. Fortunately, for the
cause of morality, the editor of the
Gazzette is a man without fear,
he invites investigation and defies
prosecution. If they drag hint to
the courts he threatens to sum
mon the Prince of tFales, the dam
of Canterbury, Mrs. Jeffries mJ
half of parliament ami prove his
facts by the very persons who
have raised the loudest clamor
over the alleged scandal.
It is a sad business all the way
through, hut, “even sewers must
be cleaned, Spare not the villians
even though they wear the stars
and garters !”

• OH MY BOY !’’
One c-f the saddest tragedies
that ever oocurea in Cincmnntti
was recently witnessed at the ele
gant residence of Mrs. Nettie
(’bamplin, shortly before two
o’clock ra the morning. The prin
ciple parties were Harry Champ
tin a young man r eel known about
town, aud Dr. E. E Loy ,his, hro'h
er-in law, a well-known practicing
physician. The former received
his death wound from a thirty two
caliber revolver in the hands of
Loy. The trouble was brought
about by the the conduct of Champ
lin who was quick tempered and
easily offended whhn in liquor Ii
seems that after taking dinner
Champlin sat on the front steps
with his mother until 3 bout half
past nine c clock. He then ex
pressed a desire to go up town.
Hie mother tried to induce him
not to go, but after kissing her
ufibetionate good night and starts
ed off
“Don’t drink anything, Harry v <
were his mother’s parting words! l
Champlin walked up amt down
Vine street with some frinds and
visited a number of saloons, par
taking freely of liquor. About
one o’clock he Btarted for home.
All the members of the family wot*
asleep when be reached the house.
On reaching his room the young
man began talk to his mother and
in his drunken fury cursed her.
The noise aroused Mrs Glenn a
friend of the family, who was on a
visit from Michigan. She Hasten
ed to Champlains room and beg
ged him to desist Chair plain
resented this by hurling a chair at
Mrs. Gleen. This aroused Dr
and Mrs Loy, by the time they
reached the room Cuamplin had
entered ins mot here-room and be
gun to beat her cursing like a
madman.
As Dr. Loy entered the room
Champ'in turned upon him with
an oath and struck Loy a terrible
biow on the forehead. The men
then giappled, and after a desper -
ate struggle the infuriated man
was overpowered by the muscu
lar doctor. All this time Champ
lain was utterring threats that he
would kill both nla mother aud
Loy. After a short time Loy let
Champlin get up. The young
rushed for the baek stairs close ly
pvuru6d by colored servant.
Champlin on getting down staho
grabbed a carring knife from the
table in the kitchen and started
>ack up stairs. The bouse was in
darknes except tt dim light in
Champ!in s room Dr Loy and
his wife had taken up a position
in the front ball*
Ab Champlain came up the stairs
the kdife could be seen gleaming
in hie band. On reaching the
Lop of the stairway, Champlm,
perceived the doctor uttered an
oath and rushed upon him making
a slash at him with the knife. Loy
stood in front of his wife. As ilie
madman approached Loy fired,
Champlin grasped the rail of the
staircase the knife dropped from
his hand.
“You have killed him !” screan -
ed Mrs. Loy. m her brother fell-
Loy answered her that Champlin
bad only been frightened, as he
had shot at random. But when a
light was hastily procured, there
with upturned bleeding face, lay
the young man, dying. He did
not speak a word after Loys shot
was fired. The agonized mother
rushed in the room, her face
swollen from hey boys blows, and
throwing her arma around the
deak youth, aha wailed ; -Oh. my
boy ! My boy! My baby boy I’’
It required the united efforts of
the members of the household io
tear the agonized mother away
Dr. Loy gave himseif up to the
officers who soon afterwards ap
peared on /he scene and was taken
to the Central Station. After tel
ling the story of the tragedy, a
charge of homicide was enleied
against him by tne Captain of the
proem t and he was locked up. —

A UTAH CURIOSITY.
Mr. Tim Winters had a curious
experience on Saturday evening.
I He lias been experimenting for
! some time willi a view to obtain
ing a flowing well on bis premises.
He had at ore lime u pipe to the
depth of about IIP fuel, but owing
to meeting with sumo bard -nlir
stance, which made it impossible
to force die pipe any further it.
was taken up. Another, however,
was inset led in its place, which on
Saturday evening bed reached a
depih of 85 feet. The water how
evlr, was of a ligtu bluish color,
resembling the infuse of the wash
tub more than anything else, and
came forth like a miniature gey
ser, the eruptions taking piace at
intervals of about 15 minutes the
fiuid rising 10 or 12 feet above th e
erd of tlie pipe. On Saturday
evenigg a gentleman held a liglit
ied match over Hie pipe in order
to oscertain how near the lop the
water had reached, when he was
startled 1y a origh, strong flame
breaking forth and with such
strength as to cause him 10 retreat
in haste.
Previous to that, J/r. Y\ inter
states, he had noticed a rather sul
phuric odor, but codling that could
possibly have led him <■> imagine
the result that, foiloweeil the ap

rumor of a discovery of natural
gas reached a Herald reporter yes

ol Mr. Winters and ins, ected the
opriosity. For a lime there are
no indications of water, -ave a
deep, distant rumbling as the cat
is applied to the tube; soon a
foamy ‘ substancy commences to
bubble over, ilien the water rises
slowly to the edge of the pipe end
denly shooting upwards. The
supply of gas is, however coutin
uous, the amount seeming io be
regulated by the action of the wa
ter, the greatest quanity gas be

luring tire escape of the fluid ihut
the light hums with the greatest
intensity, (bus presenting the a?
most unparrelled spectacle of tiio
and water coming forth a, ti -
same time aud mingling with one
another the water is very soft, but
does not apper to be of any oily
nature. Au night the spectac[e is
described as being grand in the
effect produced. A couple of
miners earned away sun.pies of
the sediment produced from the
water yesterday with the object*
it is understood, of having it
thoroughly examined.
HE WAS SURPRISED,
Whom some high salaried offi
cial resigns to accept a l'attor sala
ry ou some other road the men
under him, from wipers to engin
eers. ol from brakemen to Main
dispatchers, or from chaintnen to
engineers, must chip In their bard
earnings and buy him a sel of
silver, a gold watch aud chain, or
some othei article he does not j
need perhaps* There are cases
where such preset/ations comes
deep from theheartsof the donors
but often the matter is set afo ot
by some ambitious underlings woo
do it not from pure friendship:
but wi s h the selfish motive of bet- |
lering iheie own prospects. A |
great many thoughtful officials j
have sot their foot down oj the i
foolish custom, regarding it in the i
light that acceptance would likely i
place th®m under obliga/ious to
Icerttin employes whom they may
be compelled to discipline in the
future. A few days ago a promi
nent official of this ej/y entertain
in these views left the city on an
intended tour, and several of his
sudordinates went down lo the
Union depot to eee him off. As
stood on the steps of his car they
arrange I themselves into a hollow
Bpuare, and there was an awkward
pause. Then ore of the number
advanced with a package »ud be
gan to speak. The offici l frown
ed aud held up his hand iu a de
practo y gesture. The spokesman
was brief, and wishing his chief a
pleasant trip and assurieg him of
the nidefity aud good wishes of ail
his men, he presemed as a token of
regard “this bouquet,.’’ It is safe
to asset t /hat he would have refus

more proud of it than a boy of bis

CHOLERA.
Our dispatches this morning
reveal a pitiable stat« of uftairs in
Spain. Seven hundred and sixty
nine new cases cf cholera were te
ported on Sunday and iwo him
dred and eighteen deaths.
The centre of the cholera ep ;
demlc seems to oe the old Moor
ish city of Murcia, formerly ouc
of the seven metropolitan cities of
Spain It is situated on the S<j
gura river, near the Mediterran 1
ean coast aud has n population of
about sixty thousand. Some idea
of the panic that excists in the
place may be ga/hered from the
fact stated, that more than Half its
population has fled. The cholera
seems destined to ravage Spain.
It exists within live miles of Madi
rid, in three or four densely popu
lated provinces, and as lar north
as Huesca, within fifty miies of
the French fro/ier. Carried from
place to place by the fleeing in
habitants, finding easy foothold in
Hie uuc/eau quarters of Etirop an
cities, it iB more ihan likely that
the year 1885 will piove to he, in.
point ot loss of life, a most disas
tros one.
WATERMELONS WON’T GO.
“There is as handsome a lot of
watermel >us as ever reached New
York.” said a Washington Market
dealer “And yet people slum
them as if they were afraid I hoy
would go off. Whee I sold a
thousand last season I do not sell
one hundred.”
“How do you account for if?"
“That's an easy one. Why,
cholera, cholera: cholera ! The
health board Lave scared Ibe fruit
consumers to death, ami iu place
of breakfasting on a good ripe
wutertnalon or dish of other fruit

ons are notoriously wholesome. ’
“How do the prices compare
wiih last season ?”
