Too Many Women.

The Boston Adcertiser has singular sta
| tistical article, showing that Massachusetts
| has ordinarily had more than her share of
women, and that now, through the with
drawal of men into the army, there must
| be in that State one hundred thousand more
women than men. This remarkable surplus
| is regarded as unfavorable to the morals of
the community, as well as unfortunate for
those sections of the country where the
men are in such majority as to suffer from
the lack of wives, cooks, and seamstresses.
The Advertiser says: t.i ~ 10
To speak directly of the first and chief
cause of those difficulties is to repeat the
figures presented in the census. At this
moment there are In Massachusetts, nearly
one hundred thousand more women than
there are men. In 1850 the excess of the
number of women of all ages, above that of
men, was 36,970. ''iitu.Dl 3u I'D
Since that time the war and the steady
surplus of the emigration of males, must
have taken from us sixty or seventy thou
sand more men-these, also, it must be OBJ
served, of the marriageable ages-leavinga
surplus here of one hundred thousand wo-
men. Between the ages of 10 and 40, the
population of women in Massachusetts Is
about $4,000. The population of men of
the same age does not probably exceed
2420O0 at the present time. :yqIs.aa
1t must be remembered that the Western
States, particularly those of the Pacific, are
suffering under the counter difficulty. The
census Of Oregon shows. "a surplus Of 30,-
600 men, to match our surplus iOf women.

AtrOciOus Murder by Negro Sol.
" Gs dieHes.
[From The Cairo Democrat.l

[From The Cairo Democrat
The most atrocious assassination that, we
I believe, has ever come under our notice
was committed about two weeks ago. For
cruelty and heartlessness we believe that but
few cases in the history of crime can equal
it. ~" ia' -
Itseems that about the time stated, two men
named Forbes and Krieger, obtained passes
at Columbus to leave for the country. When
the parties had gone about six or seven
miles, they were informed that guerrillas
were infesting the neighborhood, and both
Forbes and Krieger thought it was best to
one farm house and Forbes stopped at Mrs.
Hinchee's, which is situated scme four miles
from the town, for dinner. ses
While at the house an old negro Informed
some guards that were in that vicinity, that
white man had stopped at the house. The
negro soldiers went there and asked Mr..
Forbes for his pass; as it happened to be in
the possession of Mr.. Krieger, who had gone
on, the negroes took Forbes prisoner and
brought him back to- Columbus, where after
an explanation, the authorities there fur
nished him another pass. Mr.. Forbes again
started on his journey, and when hereached
the spot we have mentioned, he was again
met by number of negroes and white
On1cer. One OF the negroes, observing that
Forbes was unarmed, turned around and
shot him, and report says that the white
officer drew his revolver at the same time,
and also fired at him. aa hat,u4
AT this juncture the party, not deeming
that their atrocious act was foul enough,
stopped over the murdered man, and, to
make their crime more fiendish, cleaved the
head of thcirvictim from the body, and took
it with them. They had gone but a. short
distance when they observed that the neck
bone projected from the head, whereupon
they cut 1t of: and threw it on the way-i

The Thousandfh Birthday OF N
' Town. W

Mrs. M. Booth writes from Zurich, Switz-
erland, to The Mil,oa,ikee Life, this charac-
teristic incident:
Yesterday, June 22d, the grandest cele-
bration ever known i'm Switzerland took
place at Winterthur, thriving little city
about fifteen miles from Zurich. It was
given in commemoration of the foundation
of the town thousand years ago. at which
time the keys were given up by Rudolph of
HapsbuTg, who who % had until until then ZEN held i5 the
ed in the most tasteful manner, and the
street procession was far more magnificent
and varied than that Of the usual carnival.
All the old weapons were borrowed for the
occasion from the various museums through
out Switzerland, and exact representations
were given of numerous historical scenes
heretofore considered quite too complicated
and difficult for carnival representation.
