that city for assistance. The inmates of the
Lunch, no doubt iaklng him for one OF the
lazy Tube who prefer Incidence and want 10
industry and plenty, advised him to go to
worn, wheicupon tie man replied that he
could find no employment. To iest the SIN
ccrliy OF his pretended desire 10 obtain work,
"a proposition was then made 10 him, and ac-
ccp,cd. that he should earn dollar IN the
following manner, viz: be was 10 carry n
brick III his right hand from the Lunch to the
pump at the foot OF the Park, there pot II
down, then take it up in the other hand, re-
turn with it 10 the Lunch ana re.Geposit il.
and again take 1t up and return 10 the pump.
and So on during the ten hours which consli
tute the laboring day. The condition was.
that be should walk at the rate of ai least
mi,es Nh hour. The man went 10 work, and
the Erst hour, by measurement, it WAS found
tn,i he had gone six miles ard almost thre"
qunriris. AT noon. after walking five hours,
hn had finished twenty seven miles, and al

COMING ELECTIONS. The election
for three members of Congress tukes

AT the same time, the first week in Au-
gust, elections for the choice Of Cover
nor will be held IN Tennessee, and in
the same State, as well as in Indiana and
Kentucky, for members Of tho State
Legislature. or these, the election in
Tennessee excitcs the most interest, and
will be wa,ml y conte ted, though there
can hardly be doubt but iha, the Wings
will elect their Governor and majority
of both Houses Of tho Legislature
The other elections excite comparatively
no interest, so little doubt is entertained
as TO their result.

lIEALlH And MORALS OF LowELL.-D DR..
Bartlett, formerly Mayor u! Lowell, has pub
lished vndication Of the aborers in the fac
tories Of tina; city, from the aspcrsions of Mr..
o. A. Bownson and others. OF the health.
funess Of manufacturing employmen,s, DR.
Bartlett says:
"2he manufacturing Papulction Of his city
is The heaiiiieSi portion Of the population, and
| there is no reason why this should not be the
case. They are but little exposed to many
of the strongest and most prolific cans"s o.

extremes of Incidence and over exenlon--
/ They ure bet lltie exposed H. the sudden
yicisstudes and 10 tho excessive heats OF
colds of the seasons, aud they are very geue-
rally free from anxious and depressing
cares"
OF the moral condition of the females in
the factories, which was shamefuly misrcp-
resented by Mr.. Brownson, DR.. Bartlett say:
The moral police Of all the establishments
is vglaut, active aud rigid. While industry
and good conduct nre respected and reward
ed, no violations OF the excellent and Judi
cious rules of the Corporations, aud no i'm.
proper or suspicious Conduct meet with any

speaks volumes. The amount Deposited in

THE MURDER LARSON AT ST. LOUIS.
The St. Louis Republican of 18th ult.
publishes all the details OF the murder, bur-
glarv and arson committed IN that city
The alarm of fire was given, it appears,
about l o'clock on the previous Saturday
night. Several gentlemen forced open the
door of Mr.. Pettus' Banking House, and
through the smoke discovered body lying
one the floor near the stove. The body was
taken out before the flames reached it, and
found to be that of Mr., Jacob Weaver, a
Young man, clerk in the store of Messrs.
Won Phul g. McGil, who usually slept in
the room Immediately in the rear of Mr..
Pettus' banking room, with Mr.. Jesse Baker,
the clerk of Messrs. Simonds and Morrison.
Mr.. Weaver was found in the dress he
had worn during the day, but his lead was
dreadfullv mangled. He had been shot
through the head, the ball entering above
the left eye, and SO near had the weapon
been to him, that his face and left hand
were blackened with the powder, and the
little finger nearly cut off, apparently by
the ball. His head was also cut open in
several places, the wounds appearing to
have been made with bowie knife or
Ratchet
The object of the villains seems to have
been the money deposited in the large fire
proof vault of the bank, land it is supposed the
murders were committed to reach this vault !;
in this they failed. The safe too Of Messrs.
Simonds and Morrison, in which there was
some money, was undisturbed, and it was
therefore probable that little booty was OBJ
tanned.
The loss by the fire has been very great,
estimated at $60,OOO.
Mr.. Weaver was young man of excel
lent character, % years Of age. His pa
rents reside at st. Louis, whittier they re-
moved about three years since, from WASH
ington city. Mr.. Baker was about the same
age, the son of respectable family resid-
ing in Worcester County, Mass. Mr.. Ansel
S. Kimball, who was killed by the falling
of wall, was a carpenter by trade, and a
native of Concord, New-Hampshire. He
moved to st. Louis in the fall of 1885,
He has left young and amiable wife to
mourn his loss.
1t would be impossible, says the Repub-
lican, to describe the intense feeling which
pervaded the community during the night
and ensuing morning, and in fact the whole
day. Every one was shocked at the enor-
mity and boldness of the deed, and felt that
whilst such crimes could be committed in
our midst and the guilty escape detection,
there was no security to any one.
We live indeed in dangerous times when
such damning crimes can be committed in
the very heart of the city, and the brutal
authors 20 unhung and unwhipt OF justice.
The city and country were patrolled dur
ing Yesterday and last night, and the citl-
zens generally are using al! the means IN
their power to detect the guilty.
