•Sacl Domestic Tragedy.
Simon Zimmerman, a German em¬
ploye of the Western Electrical
Works to Chicago, murdered his
wife and then shot himself Monday
mortog, but the tragedy was not
discovered Until evening. A brother
,of Zimmerman heard the cries of
his brother’s children, and the doors
loading to their apartments being
broken open, he found bis brother
and sister-in-law lying dead on the
kitchen floor, both with bullet holes
in their right temples. The little
.children, one three years and the
other one year old, had been locked
iiu the room with their dead parents
all day. The eldest, a boy, when
asked what In* saw, said: “Pa did
that (action of presenting a pistol)
and ma fell down.” Mrs. Miller, liv¬
ing iu the room below, beard a shot
about 0:30 o’clock this morning, but
itio Bound of a quarrel. During the
.day, the little boy called to her from
ithe window, but she paid no atten¬
tion to his wants, as she supposed
this mother would atend to them.
The dead husband and wife had
sometimes quarrelled, but he was
tUOt considered a dangerous man.
They had been married six years atul
iW.erc only a little more than 30 years
•of age.
A singular question has arisen in
4lie Post Office Department. A
Postmaster in South Carolina re
fuses to make up and deliver mail
,on Sunday to the railroad which
-passes through his town. He de
dines upon conscientious grounds
to do any labftr on Sunday. The
departnu nt. ordered him peremptor
ily to make up and deliver the mails
on Sunday as on other days. In
reply to this he writes a remarkable
letter, equal to some of flu* epistles
of the early Christians which have
come down to us. He defends his
position with ability and zeal. In
conclusion he asks,if decapitation is to
follow refusal, he he allowed thirty
days to make up his mind. Judge
Key lias given him that time to make
np his mind and will leave the (pies
lion to be settled by Postmaster
General Maynard, who is a deacon
in the same church that the South
Carolina Postmaster belongs to.
Deacon Maynard should come to
tlie rescue of his conscientious broth
er by relieving him from the duties
of an office which requires him to
violate the Sabbath. The Bible
forbids working on the Sabbath day,
but there is nothing in the Bible or
the Constitution of the United
States that requires any man to be

The Philadelphia Times says the
Republican managers will spend
three hundred thousand dollars in
Pennsylvania daring the Presidenti¬
campaign. In I860, when the
achieved its greatest victory
the history of the State, the ex¬
pense of the campaign was only
$17,000. With each succeeding
the corruption fund has in¬
in size. The money is used
all sorts of disreputable ways, and
much of it for the absolute purchase
votes. The demands of the pre¬
exigency are greater than ever
before fell by the Republican man¬
agers, who know that money will
have to be poured out like water to
secure the defeat of (Jen. Hancock
in his own State. It is very doubt¬
ful, too, if the expenditure of three
hundred thousand dollars and a re¬
sort to all the chetanory known to
machine politics will accomplish the
result aimed at.
Humbug.
A prom men*, feature in human
nature impressed upon our first par¬
ents in the garden ot Eaden by Satan,
is lmmbug. He humbugged the
woman with the apple, and she, in
turn, humbugged her husband. From
that day to the present it has been
in active the
affairs of men, sometimes object!ve
>>’> sometimes subjectively. It
>« at work all the time, and if wo are
,lo( humbugging somebody, we are
being humbugged, or are engaged
hi the pleasant individual pastime of
humbugging ourselves. I lie craek
brained zealot ou the top of bis pil
lar w:ls a humbug, deluding himself
i,T,<1 deceiving the people with an
idea that he was a holy man. Cirsar
"as a humbug with his “I ca me, I
saw Napoleon, when he exclaimed to
his troops, “1* rom the top ot these
pyramids three thousand centuries
are beholding you.” And so is Dr.
Tanner a humbug in trying to make
us believe that lie fasted forty days
and forty nights without, food. To
all of which we say, with Horace,
" ^ ee<lut Jitthi us Apella, n m <;/<>.'
We are, in turn, the deceiver and
f bc deceived, and nowhere more
than in this great country, in which
" u ‘"- by the Constitution, enjoy t
Hie fullest extent the free expres
’ r speech, and attain the right
s u >n °
which women have by nature,
1 Icing a nation of politicians, and
we suppose we may as well confess,
too, a nation of demagogues, 1mm
bug becomes an important factor in
polities. If it is profitable to the

NEWSPAPERS.
The Atlanta Constitution.
During the coining year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that
has ever taken place in this country—
every citizen ami every thoughtful person
will be compelled to rely upon the news¬
papers for information. Why not get the
best ? Abroad the Constitution is recog¬
nized, referred to and quoted from as the
leading Southern journal—as the organ and
vehicle of the best Southern thought and
opinion—and at home its columns are con¬
sulted for the latest news, the freshest
comment, and for all matters of special
and current interest. The Constitution
contains more and later telegraphic news
than any other Georgia paper, and this
particular feature wili lx* largely added to
during the coming year. All its facilities
for gathering the latest news from all parts
of the country will lie enlarged and sup¬
plemented, The Constitution is Ixith
chronicler and comment tor,, Its editorial
opinions, its contributions to the drift of
discussion, its humorous and satrieal para
graphs, are copied from one end of the
country to the other. It aims always to
be the brightest and the best—newsy, orig¬
inal and piquant. It aims particularly to
give the news impartially and fully, and to
keep its readers informed of the drift of
current discussion by liberal but concise
quotations aims, in from all its contemporaries. It
short, to more than ever deserve
to be known as “the leading Southern
newspaper.” Bill Arp will continue to
contribute his unique letters, which grow
in sovory humor week by week. “Old 8i”
will add bis quaint fun to the collection of
good things, and “Uncle Remus” has in
preparation illustrating the a series folk-lore of negro of the myth old legends, planta¬
tion. In every respect the Constitution
for 1880 wiU lie better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a careful¬
week, ly edited compendium of the news of the
and contains the best aud freshest
matter to be found in any other weekly
from a daily office. Its news and miscella¬
neous contents are the freshest anil its
market reports the latest.
The Southern Cultivator .— 1 This, the
best, the most reliable and most popular of
Southorn agricultural journals is issued
from the printing establishment of the Con¬
stitution. It is still edited by Mr. W. L.
