4 DOUBLE TRAGEDY-In Fannin ooun-
ty, Texas, several days ago, slave man
killed his master, mistress and little boy.
He was arrested with three other negroes
concerned in the murder, and hung. 1t
Is thought that the murder was brought
abOrt by some abolllionists, as the negroes
confessed before they were hung that n
white man was with them, and that it had
been arranged that the negroes should rise
and Kill as many white people as they
could. Great excitement prevailed thro'-
out the country. Says the Era:
Emma in her confession stated Il at there
was widespread plan for a general ris-
ing among the negroes, and mentioned
several families whose turn came next,
and that white man was at the head Of
it. She also informed the committee of
his name.

Soul Sleepers Is the name Of new re-
ligious sect which has recently made its
appearances at Fairfield Iowa. The Ledg-
err of that place, says: Four men and one
woman. apostles Of the sect, have been
tarrying at this place, and sleeping in
tents. They are opposed to churches, de-
ny the divinity of Christ, teach that the
soul is material substance, and sleeps
with the body until it is resurrected.

The bill for the construction of Tele-
graph line to the Pacific. which has pass
ed both houses of Congress, provides that
not over $4,000 year shall be paid to
the contractors. for its construction and
operation, and that he contract shall be
given to The lowest bidder. 1t is graft
flying to citizens both on this and on the
other side of our continent to know that
we are to be connected by telegraph
line in the course of few months 1t is
much needed both by the citizens and the
Government.

PArRIoTIsM.-Recently. in the proceed
ings of Congress, we perceive that t. ey
refused small appropriation 10 the La
dies Mount Vernon fund, yet donated
$3.50, 900 for a lot Of wild Africans now at
Eey West, to take them back to their de-
serts again, and maintain them while there.
This is eminenly worthy Of a.Black Re-
publican CenSress-the reason, probably,
being that the aforesaid Africans are mig
gers and Washington was Vhte man.

HEAVY ROBBERY The citizens of our
quiet town were much surprised on last
Sabbath evening, to learn that the house
Of Henry E. Bohls, residing three miles
east Of this place, was robbed of some
$3.50, during the absence of the family
at church. There has been an effort on
the part of the neighbors Of Mr.. Bohls,
to track the thief, but all endeavors in
that direction have failed thus far. The
money was American gold, and Was de-
posted in chest of clothing. The house
was closed, the door being secured Gas
was supposedly by paddock. When the
family returned from church at one o'clock
the staple Of the lock was drawn. the
clothing from the bureau draws and The

Pasha, the Turkish Governor Of Syria,
adopted a very successful device for
convicting the Turkish soldiers who had
participated in the plumber Of the
Christians. 1t is thus related by a

A few days back Fuad Pasha order
ed the troops that were at Damascus
during the massacres to march out OF
the town e, route for Constantinople.
When they got a certain distance they
were halted, and in few minutes
found themselves completely surround
ed by the new troops. Each man was
ordered to open his sack and a very
vigorous search was made for plumber
Those who had in their possession prop.
erty belonging to Christians, were
marched back into the city prison.

ENCOURAGE Your BeYs.-Under the
above caption We find the following
words Of advice to farmers, which We
deem sound and sensible, in regard to
the training Of their boys-and which
might be Of service to many, who are
not at the present time engaged in the
farming business !
Gone Of the surest methods of attach
ing a boy to the farm, is to let him
have something of his own. Give him
q small plot of ground to cultivate, OIL
lowing him the proceeds for his own
use. Let him have his steers to break,
or the sheep to care for. The owner
ship of even fruit tree, planted,
pruned, and brought to bearing by his
own hands, will inspire him with an in
terest that no mere reward Of wages car
give. In addition to the cultivation Of
taste for farm life, which sue b a
course will engender, the PRACTICAL
knowledge gained by the boy will be Of
tho highest value. Being interested
he will be more observant, and viii
thoroughly learn whatever is necessary
for his success. Another and equally
important advantage will be accustom'
ing him early to feel responsibility
Many young men, though well &C.
quainted with all the manual operations
Of the farm, fail utterly when entrusted
with the management Of an estate, from
want of experience in planning fo'
themselves. 1t is much better that tn
responsibility should be gradually as
sumed, than that young man shoul'
be first thrown upon himself on attain
ing his majority"
