The Louisville TRAGEDY.

The murder Of the negroes at Louisville
Kentucky, by an infuriated mob, and the SUI
icide Of fourth in order to escape the same
fate, have been briefly alluded to. Further
details of this horrible affair are given i'll the
Louisville papers, but with an evident effort
to conceal and mitigate their horror. The
negroes had been tried on indictments for the
murder Of the Joyce family, the only evidence
against them being the confessions of one of
their number. The judge ruled that this ev-
idence was contradictory and unreliable, and
they were therefore acquitted. The excited
crowd Immediately left the court room and
proceeded to the Jail, determined to infict
summary punishment upon the negroes. A
body of police resisted their first attack and
drove them back, but at nightfall the crowd
gathered in large numbers, and no sufficient
force having been provided by the authorities
for the protection Of the Jail, the mob did its
mad will with little show of resistance. The
officers of the jail gave up three of the negroes
to the mob, and to the fourth some one hand
ed razor, with which the poor creature cut
his own throat, and his bleeding corpse was
! then carried out and exhibited to the mob, to
satisfy them that not one of the four had es-
capped death.
\ correspondent of the " u Evening
Post give an account Of the hanging, which
if true, is more ferocous than Border
Rut!ianism ITSELF

worse than the murder itself. 1t is not worth
while to rccitc the principal facts. which are of

Sugar.

There is but one way to meet the enormous
and advancing price of sugar and that is. no,
to cat it. # every family would resolve to
diminish the consumption of sugar one half
or onc-;hird. the evil would soon disappear
and this sacrifice would really amount to but
little. Such high prices must. of course, check
consumption, for poor people, and even mod
crate people, cannot afford to pay them, but
the example should be set by those whose
housekeeping is limited by no stintcd purs-
es. At the same time all the domestic sour
ces of supply Will be stimulated, and we shall
have from the maple, and perhaps from the
Chinese cane, great quantities of sugar
Providence Journal.
The v. J. Times has some sensible re-
marks Oh the same subject -
I" 1t would be as well for every housekeeper
to see where teaspoonful of sweetening can
be dispensed with. We must eat less cake,
fewer preserves, give our children fewer can
dies, take our pills without sugar-coats, eat
our strawberries al natural, and drink our
tea as the Chinese do, without sweetening-
1t would require a very moderate degree of
economy in the use of sugar by our house
keepers to bling down the price of the arti
Gle in spite of short crops and speculators.-
And we are not sure that the general health
of our people would not be improved by the
change. We are, beyond question. the great
est sugar-consumers in the world, and many
of our diseases may be attributed to too free
use of sweet food. Let there be an attempt
made to bring about moderate reformation
in this respect. 1t will be certain to have a
good financial effect # none other.

has discovered remedy for the gray aud bald,
which is at once practicable aud chap. It re-

without number. and from men OF great intel

Those who have been bald FOR years are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten yedrs
younger than they did six months ago. As in
