DOUBLE MURDsR-A Woman and her Lorsy
Killed BY a RiraI-A most diabolical murder
was committed at the house Of Charles Beever,
In HamPtonboropgh, near Goshen, Orange CO -,
N. Y, on Friday night. MIR. Beever and his

ing Margaret's room, Peter was met at the door
by William, who deliberately, and without a
word passing between either, shot him directly
through the right nipple, Peter turning back,
opened the door through which he had lust
passed, and fell dead across the threshold. The
murderer then rushing into the room over the
dead body Of his first victim, shot Margaret

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union comes back at Senator Douglas
on the /" hireling" Question; and also regrets
that its suggestions that the people Of Kansas
be allowed the bensht Of their recent vote to
stay out Of the Union until the Territory has
population sufficient to entitle State to one
representative-should have caused moment s
regret to the New York TImes.
The Union, further, quotes a letter OF Mr.
jefferson to Mr. Monroe, on the split of Ran
dolph and Mercer from the Democratic party in
1906, and cites the result of this effort to dis
unite the party as a warning to those now
making similar attempt.
The Inteligencsr considers "the result Of
the election in Kansas" and advocates the en-
actment of general iac prohibiting the ad-
mission of any and all Territories into the

The case has been argued by able counsel,

COURAGE IN WOMEN.
There is no branch of general edu,

There is no branch of general educa-
ton which is not thought at all necessary
for women; IS regards which, indeed, ii
is we'll if they arc not thought up to Gull
t.vate tie opposite Women are not
taught to be courageous. Indeed, to
some persons, courage may seem as I'M
necessary for women as Latin and Greek.
Yet there are few things that would tend
to make women happier in themselves,
and moro acceptable to those with whom
they live, than courage. There are many
women in the present day, sensible women
in other things, whose panic terrors are
frequent source Of discomfort to them
selves and those around them. Now it
is great mistake to imagine that hard
ness must 90 with courage; and that the
bloom of senteness and sympathy must
be all rubbed off by that vigor of mind
which gives presence of mind, enables
person to be useful In peril, and makes
the desire to assist overcome TINT sickli-
ness Of sensibility which can only contem-
plate distress and difficulty. So far from
courage being unfeminine, there is a Pc
culiar grace and dignity in those beings
who have little active power of attack or
defense, asing through danger with
moral courage viii n is equal to that of
the strongest We see this in great
things. We perfectly appreciate the
sweet and noble dignity Of an Anne Bull
len, Mary Queen Of Scots, or a Marie
Antoinette. We see that it is grand for

less personages to meet Death with q
silence and confidence like his own
There as no beauty mi fear. 1t is mean,
ugly, disheveled creature. No statue can
be made of it that a woman would wish
to see herself like.
We may be cute sure that, without
losing any of the most delicate and refined
OF feminine graces, women may be taught
not to give way to unrcasc nable fears,
which should belong no more to the fra
gile than to the robust Home Jowmal.
