Denver. Col., March 20.—The Hermanos
Penitents, a fanatical religious sect, number'
ing about two thousand in the territory of
New Mexico, who believe in periodical atone
ment of sin by indicting on their bodies ago*
nising tortures, were originally within the
Homan Catholic church; but Archbishop
Lnmy, shocked by their barbarous cruelties,
p/omulgated a decree, banishing them from
communion. Their numbers have greatly
thinned since, and they now Inhabit prin
cipaliy but four counties in the territory
Great care is taked to prevent the discovery
of their identity by spectators, and all are
masked while they conduct their annual
penance. The devotees often travel hundreds
of miles to undergo their prescribed torture.
Los Griegos, a small Mexican village near
Albuquerque, boasts of a body of the Pen!'
tents, but the fact is known only by the
brutal ceremonies taking place there every
year. This morning the ceremonios were
inaugurated by an introductory procession,
containing about thirty men and women
The process of purification by torture began
at 10o'clock; live men, naked to tne waist,
barefooted, wearing black robes and hoods,
completely concealing their identity, were
seen.to issue from the adoble lodge-house of
the sect, led by the master ot ceremonies,
carrying a veritable cat-o'-nine-tails, two
Jiuae wooden crosses, weighing 230 pounds
each, placed on the neck oftwosclf-torturers,
and their sharp edges cutting into the naked
flesh, caused the blood to spurt out and drop
to the ground. One of the penitents produc
ed a sharp goad, which he thrust into the
flesh of his fellow-sufferers from time to time
while the procession moved up the street to a
wild gibberish chant in Spanish. Malting
once, the crosses were transferred to other
shoulders of attendants, applying rawhide
whips mercilessly, each blow taking off skin
and bits of flesh. The procession took its way
to the goal, half a mile away. During the
march not agroan was heard, or a word spoken,
but just before reaching the goat, a small
adobo hut, an ordeal was encountered which
tried tho nerves of the boldest. For some
distance before tiie door cacti plant had been
strewn thickly on the ground, and as the
barefooted cross-bearers approached it one
hesitated. Instantly balf a dozen whips de
scended on his bare shoulders, and with a
hound he sprang into the cacti, his every step
and bis followers marked with blood. As
tho torture grew more terrible the chant grew
louder, and the thongs tell with more vigor.
Keaciiing the door uf the house, they were
lost sight of, sentinels guarding the entrance,
and only broken whips and pools of blood
bear witness of what transpired within. Is-
suing from the bouse, tho procession reform
ed, turned to the house of worship; and so the
horrifying exercises continued, one batch of
nenitents succeeding another until night,
when a grand procession andchaut wound up
the exercises of tho day. During these
marches to and from the house of refuge the
scene, at times, .was too sickening for des
cription. Powerful men submitted tlicir
bodies to the most merciless flagellation until,
in some instances, their bare muscles have
been seen quivering at every blow. Tho
whole proceedings wero a savage attempt to
honor the Faster season. Hitherto the law
has made no attempt to check tho wild exer
cises, although once a penitent, who threw
another hearing a cross into the river near
•San Juan and drowned him, was lynched
by infuriated witnesses,
AN OLD LOVER'S DESPERATION.

Pottsville, Pa., March 30.—Herman New
man, a widower, sixty years of age, a highly
respectable citizen and prominent merchant,
residing at St. Clair, three miles from this
city, hanged himself in his stable before
breakfast this morning. He was to have
been married to-night to Miss Nellie Dailey,
an interesting young woman. Tho deceased
killed himself out of sheer desperation.
His three daughters were opposed to
his marrying again and one
of them threatened to push a claim
for $8,000, trnst money, which he had lost
through the failure c-fa Pottsville bank,while
another daughter, who had acted as his
housekeeper, was making preparations to
he contemplated marriagotook
leave him if the .
place. On the other hand, through a t umored
scandal, tho wedding, which had been fixed
for the 10th inst., was postponed at that time
and since then Miss Hailey has had several
interviews with an attorney ot this place
with a view of bringing a suit against New
man in the event of his failing to keep his
promise. On Saturday last he saw the lawyer
and agreed in writing to marry Miss
Hailey last evening. He again
aaw her on Saturday and presented her
a letter from her attorney, in which the lat
ter informed her that ho had agreed to the
arrangement on her behalf. As on the 10th,
the clergyman had been notified to hold him
self in readiness to perform the ceremony.
On Sunday afternoon Newman called on the
young woman and said that there would be
two weddings at the church on Tuesday night
and that he had postponed theirs until
Wednesday afternoon. She consented to this
and was preparing for the marriage when the
news of Newman’s death came. No little in
dignation is expressed toward the author of
the report, which had tho effect of putting off
the wedding two weeks ago.
Lynchburg, Va., March 30.—Mrs, Jonathan
Monroe, and her son, Warren Monroe, living
near Brookneal, Campbell county, were
poisoned several nights since. The poison
was administered in their coffee, and both
mother and son died from its effects a short
time after drinking the coflee. Suspicion at-
taches to a nieee of the poisoned woman who
was visiting at the house at the time of the
occurrence but no arrest hail
been made at last accounts.
It is rumored that the girl meant only to
poison the mother in the absense from the
bouse of the son in order to remove an ob
struction to a marriage with the latter. War
ren returned unexpectedly and was also
poisorfed.
DEATH OF JOHN BROWN

111. lout at Wladtor.
London, March 30.—John llrown, the well-
known personal attendant on Queen \ ictoria,
w hose (hath occurred at Windsor castle, was
tbe son of a poor Scottish (Jitter. He was the
favorite body servant of Prince Albert,
and frequently accompanied him on hunt
ing excursions to Scotland. He
was deeply attached to the pffnee consort,
and is said to have refused to eat between the
death and burial of bis master. Queen \ ic
toria at once took him into her employ, and
for tbe rest of his life ire was her favorite at
tendant. In the Highlands he was tire most
faithful of “gillies"—half serving man, hal
zuardian. in London he was as well known
a« the queen berselL He went in her carnage
when she drove out, and stood behind her
chair on great days of ceremony at \\ indsor.
When the queen on tier birthday, lord may
or's day and Whitsunday, went in state to
the royal chapel, Brown was always pnaent
to see that iier msjesty entered and withdrew
with proper distinction. The familiarity
with which he was treated by bis royal n» is-
tre«s turned the honest fellow a head and be
nin -niti-'i his office till the ladies in waiting
euvi.d him, and even tbe queen a sons re
garded him with no excessive affection. If
be was nihii own physician was sent from
the highlands, for John put no trnst in tbe
doctors of the English. Favors of all sorts
were showered upon him. Ltko a royal pei
sonage he shot over tho royal preserves. The
state apartments at Windsor were opened at
his request last Chistmas. In addition
to these marks of honor John contrived
to get more substantial benefits, and he
is said to have laid up about (5,000,000.
In the Highland costume, which he
usually wore, he was a tine-looking, stalwart
fellow, six feet one inch in height with
shapely bald head, a high forehead, and
big, full face. His devotion to the queen was
proverbial, and he was called her watch dog.
Of late years he had worried greatly about her
safety. He was very much troubled in mind
because tiie lunatic who shot at her two yeare
ago was not captured by him, but by the
crowd. He saved her from attack on several
occasions, and it is probable that there are
few persons whose death she will more dee
regret than that of this consequential
staunch servitor.
A WOMAN HANGED.

Windsor, Vt,, March 30.—Mrs. Meakerwas
hung at 1:35 o'clock this afternoon for the
murder of tier ward, Alice Mcakor. She per
sisted to tbe last that she was innocent, end
said her son’s confessien was a lie, and that
lie had brought tier to the gallows. She re
ceived a letter from tier son Aiiuon offering
consolation and urging her to confess, saying
his confession made him enough bettor, ant
it would be better for her in the next world
to make a clear breast of tiie affair. He said
ho would lay down his life to save her, but
that being impossible, lie can only offer her
such satisfaction as lie can give, and express
the hope that they eball meet in a better
land beyond, where there is no sorrow nor
sadness. He closes by saying he is try
ing to lead a Christian life, and trust
ing she will be in readiness to meet ber God.
Shortly after the receipt of the letter, Alnron
visited bie mother in the cell, in presence of
prison officials. They shook hands, the moth-
er showing slight excitement over tho letter,
claimed that all was false, and that Aliuou’s
lies had brought her to iier present position,
and demanded why lie did so. She admitted
that she could tell a good Btory, but claimed
that justice should be meted to all. Site said
all tbo family bated Alice and had whipped
her sercrely. Alinon asked her if she hadn't
asked him to take tiie child to the moun
tains to starve. She laughed, saying she nev
er thought ot such thing. During the inter
view, which lasted over an hour, she show
ed great resolution. She is ready to meet Iier

Montgomery, March 31.—The city sexton
on yesterday exhumed the body of the old
man fouml on the river bank last January.
He turns dut to be W. P. Wadsworth, of Lees-

There were no marks of violence found on

CHOOSING A QUEEN.
Election by lb* Colored Citizen* for • I.«*dy to UIda
la tbo Chariot on Emancipation Day.
Washington, March 30.—The election of a
queen by popular suffrage is an unusual event
in this city. Tbe colored citizens of south
Washington, who propose to take part in the
coming celebration of the twenty-first anni
versary of the emancipation of slavery in this
district, have chosen one. The proceedings
were quite interesting, and are given for the
information of those who take an interest in
matters pertaining to royalty. After electing
a marshal and other officers, at a meeting
held last night. Martha Bell was nominated
as queen, to occupy the chariot to be gotten
up for the occasion. This method of select
ing tbe queen was opposed, and it was urged
that the matter be lelt to the committee. A
warm discussion sprang up. Laws declared
that there was much dissatisfaction expressed
lost year with the chariot and the queen. He
hoped tbe queen this year would be
becomingly dressed. Perry Carson
declared it tbe proper thing to
elect a queen by suffrage of the people
[applause], and advocated that it be done
at once. Nominations were then called for,
and Martha Bell, Elmira Johnson, Lucinda
Green, Maria Brown wero nominated. The
nominees were requested to rise and show
themselves as their names were called. On ft
vote being taken Martha Beil was elected by
a large majority, with considerable applause
following. A committee of thirty, ten from
each district, five males and five females, was
appointed to solicit money and enroll chil
dren for tbe chariot.
Ancient Rtuc.

Recently we were shown by Dr. B. o.
Brazeal quite a curiosity in the shape o! a let

by a lady now living out west. The letter in
question is really an object of much interest,

Wasiiinoton,March 31.—The fact that very
little is being said about the speakership of
the next house must not be taken os an indi
cation that no work is being done. Tiie can
didates are very busy getting their forces into
line. One of the candidates said to-day that
Randall was making a very shrewd contest.
He has about fifty votes tliat legitimately
belong to him. They are either out and out
protectionists, or they are under protection
influences. He needs about forty votes
more to give him a majority of tbe caucus.
He is doing bis very best to center all the op
position on Carlisle. He wants bis chief, and
if possible only, opponent to be a southern
man, und ho would like that man to be Car
lisle. These are his reasons. There is some
objection in the north to a southern man oc
cupying a place of third importance in tbo
government. The strongest candidates for
clerk are Atkins, of Tennessee, and Clark, of
Missouri; and for doorkeeper, General Field,
of Georgia, and Wintersmith, of Texas. If
southern man is chosen speaker, the
clerk and doorkeeper cannot come from the
south. Randall therefore expects to force tiie
friends of Atkins, Clark, Field and Winter-
smith to support him. Thompson, of Ohio,
the leading candidate for scigeant-at-anus, is
said to be a Randall man. If Carlisle is
chosen speaker, of course the minorofllccs will
go to the north and west. General Rice, of
Ohio, who has been traveling tlirongh the
country ostensibly on railroad business,
really working up Randall's Interest.
THE REVENUE SERVICE.
The Collector* to be Retained a* m Campaign He
crultlnjt Service.
Wasiiinoton, March 31.—Tiie talk abou
the president reducing the number of internal
revenue collectors lias about subsided. There
are no hopes of his ever mustering out any of
his army of political tramps anu bummers,
through which lie expects to control the next
republican convention. The president is a
machine man, he has always been one. His
whole political life 1ms been spent with the
machine; he creates them, he must
run them, and in return be hopes to be
nominated by their power. His administra
tion has no policy only to build and strength
en the machlne;lie will not turn outone. Each
one is the shaft around which tiie gaugers, in
spectors, storekeepers and clerks aro the cog
wheels that work inccssamly t consolidating
the power, increasing the efficiency and mul
tiplying the strength of the iiiachiuo, and
nil are run by one man appointed by the
president and removed by him at pleasure.
Arthur is a New York politician, where the
machine does its work without fail nine times
cut of ten. He relies upon it, because he has
proved its efficacy, and he is at its head with
the rod In his hand controlling its every
movement. The vote of the southern states
in the national republican convention will
he controlled by the machine. I'ostmasters
may Help, but collectors and their satellites
are always located at the place in which the
state conventions are held, and prove their
title to their offices by their devotion to tho
appointing power, So, it the president lias
the power—of which there are grave doubts—
he will never exercise it, the doubt furnish
ing the excuse, and the machine tiie true rea
son, for maintaining tlicit at their present
strength and number. In the meantime the
country suffers, and an army of useless olll
ccrs sre maintained against democratic pro
test. Mo president lias everrcducod the number
witiiout legislation by the house. In 1807
there were 238 collectors and tho same num
ber of assessors. Wc then collected over
$300,000,000 by internal revenue; $126,000,-
000 was collected on manufacturers
and manufactured articles. The last
fact was the excuse tor the war
tariff; but the repeal of the internal-revenue
tax on these articles and various occupations
and incomes rendered a reduction of tbe
forces necessary. Tbe original design was
one assessor and collector in caclt. congres
sional district. 8o in 1870, by tbe action of
tiie house, they were reduced and fixed b
act of August 15,1860, at 131. Remember, tlii
was a democratic house; and in
1877 the house tried again tc
reduce them to 120, but tbe amend
incut was stricken from Die appropriation
bill, and being insisted on, was forced by a
conference report at 120, at wiiieh number it
has stood since. Eacli aud every reduction
the democrats offered to make was resisted
by the senate, in the hands ot the republi-
cun party at the time, und as long as Mr.
Mahons needs thou to help ran Virginia,
and their services ere needed in North Car
olina, so long will they be retained ky Arthur.
Thompson, from Kentucky, started the fight
for their reduction in the last house, und was
defeated by almost a strict party vote upon
the statement of Cannon, of Illinois, that the
president had tiie power to reduce the num
ber. Dut lie will not reduce them, so
tbe democratic house can complete
work next lession by put
ting them at forty-six, tbe niimberThompson
proposed, and which Is more than sufficient,
lui of course the republican senate will re
fuse to allow the redaction to bo made. There
can be no reform or retrenchment in public
affairs until the democrats obtain absolute
control of the official machinery of the coun-

Washington, March 31.—The president
will leave Washington on Monday or Tues
day next for a short visit to Florida. He will
go direct to that state, and will remain in

The length of his stay will depend upon the

yet been arranged. It is settled, however,
that the journey to and from Florida will be

The young man and wife followed a grin

Shortly afterward the clerk, while passing tiie

“Here," said tho official, “none of that. If

FROM THE OLD WORLD
From the great London (Eng.) Times,
Among the many specifics Introduced to tho pub
lic for the euro of dyspepsia, indigestion, derange
ments of various kinds, and as a general family
medicine, none have met with such genuine appre
ciation as Hop Bitters. Int,roduced to this country
but a comparatively short time since, to meet the
great demand for a pure, rafe and perfect family
medicine, they have rapidly Increased In favor,
until they arc, without question, the most popular
and valuable medicine known. Its world-wide
renown Is not due to the advertising It has received;
It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It
docs all that is claimed for It. It discharges its
curative powers without any of the evil effects of
other bitten or medicine, being perfectly safe and
harmless for the most frail woman, smallest child,
and weakest invalid to use. Few are the homes
indeed where tho great discovery has not already
been hailed aa a deliverer and welcomed as a friend.
It docs what others affect to do. Composed of
stmplo materials, It Is a marvel of delicate and suc
cessful combination. Nothing Li wanting. Every
Ingredient goes straight to the market which it Is
aimed, and never fails. Pleasant to the palate,
agreeable to the stomach, and thoroughly effective
os a cure, It has won for itself the confidence of all.
