OUTRAGE NEAR AsHLAND.-We received
information last night Of one of the most
diabolical and atrocious outrages committed
near Ashland, that we have ever recorded.
Our informant gives us the following:
A lady Of high respectability, living near
Ashland, took the cars from that place on
Wednesday morning to visit some friends
below. She returned on the same evening,
and was walking by a path through the woods
on her way home. When she had gotten
about half way she was met by large negro
man, who accosted her Familiarity, and com.
menced to take liberties with her. The lady,
frightened almost into fainting, made an at
tempt to get away, when the negro seized
her violently, threw her to the ground, and
holding large knife above her, threatened
to plunge it into her if she dared utter o
single cry or make the slightest motion
After accomplishing his helllsh design, the
negro left her lying on the ground, and ran
off 1t is not known whittier he has gone
though it is suspected that he went towards

WHEN IT Is PROPOSED to give the political
power of the State of Louisiana into the
hands Of uneducated blacks, those who OBJ
ject TO it are told by the radicals that it is
good enough treatment for the Louisiana
white people, for they are responsible for
the ignorance of the blacks. Suppose this
rule should be applied to New York city.
The government Of that city is denounced
as being very corrupt. The ruling classes
have behaved wickedly. How would it work
to disrranchise them and turn the govern
ment over to the denizens of the Five
Points and similar localities where vice,
ignorance and squalor are universal? The
ruling classes are responsible for the vice
and ignorance that abound, and, by the
ELIOT rule, it is good enough for them that
they should be deposed from power and the
miserable men, women and children they
have neglected or oppressed should be made
to do all the voting.

Horse Reef

The appetite for horse flesh seems to be
growing, and we shall soon see high,mettled
steeds jump out Of the traces into the frying
pan or gridiron. And when the jaded ON
nibus horse, instead of being cut up by the
whip Of the driver, is anatomatized by tho
knife of the butcher, he will indeed feel "the
luxury Of wo!" We have never yet tasted
porter-house steak of the flesh of the
equine animal-the horSepitality of oul
friends has not yet taken that form. Before
putting the bit (of horse meet in his mouth
the hppogaphist should ascertain the char
octer Of the animal he is partaking of. L
the nag was in the habit Of boiling, woult
not his flesh give one the dyspepsia : If hi
was a runaway beast, might not his con
sumer be whipped into galloping consump
tion? No; on reflection, we shall not eat
horses flesh until we have arrived at the last
stage of starvation.

The .Indians Not Ta,ed.,

II seems strange 10 us, when we have
reached that degree Of civilization that we
can teach all mankind what to do, that this
should be so; but the New Englanders who
60 V the West very shortly take as much
pleasure in shooting Indians, as in former
days they did in holding slaves at the South
In this they show that they are like their
fathers. In Massachusetts, In 1894 the col.
ony paid fifty pounds for every Indian, great
or small that any person should kill. This
was the uniform policy. In 1897 fifty pounds
were to be paid for the scalps Of adult In.
dans, and "for every child Of the said enemy
under the age Of ten years, that shall be by
them slain, the sum OF ten pounds; and such
party or parties shall also have and keep
unto their own use oil plunder and prisoners
by them taken Of the enemy"
In the later laws, liberal premiums con
tinued to be offered for the scalps Of male
Indians above the age Of twelve years, as
we'll as "the benefit Of all Indian prisoners
being women and children under the age
above said" subject only to the condition
that they should be transported out Of the
country"
This reads queerly 10 us; but we must re
member that New England then engaged
largely in stealing negroes in Africl to re
duce them to slavery, and deemed it o virtue
to shoot Indians wherever they could fnt
them. Since these were the practices Of our
Christian fathers, whose memory we ven
crate, we might be little more charitable il
our judgment upon others.-NeOburypor

A New York Court Scene.

On Wednesday, when Superintendent Ken.
nedy, Of New York, was brought before
Judge Downing, at the Tombs Police Court,
TO answer to complaint Of libel preferred
against him by Judge Michael Connolly, il
was suggested that the defendant should give
his personal recognizance for appearance for
trial. Connolly objected, and the following
scene occurred:
"Ifamere creature, Judge Connolly said
'an appointee Of q board, could override the
majesty OF the people and insult and malign
an officer elected by their suffrage, and il
that miserable creature could with impunity
assume and exercise authority and powers in
this city Of New York which would not be
permitted in Russia or in the most despotic
country on the face Of the earth
Here Mr. Kennedy became excited and
interrupted Judge Connolly.
Mr.. Connolly replied: This shows the
impertinence-the positive impertinence oI
the man.
"Mr. Kennedy. Close your big mouth
"Mr. Connolly. 4 knew you thirty years
ago-you cheated your
"Mr. Kennedy, (standing up, very much
excited.) And knew you, too, when YOU
sold rum at two cents a glass
"Mr. Connolly. And you drank it without
paying for it. Go and pay your sister-in-lav
and her orphans what you owe them

PROBABLE LOSS OF THE TARIFF
RIII.

The Committee of Ways and Means have
tied heavy weights enough upon the tariff
bill to carry it under. The opinion is that
no legislation can save it. They have put
up the duties upon linseed oil, zinc and other
articles; advanced the duty on all kinds Of
steel half cent on apound, over the Senate
proposition advanced duty on woolens, car
pets, &c; also on hardware generally. The
Senate amendment to admit breeding animals
free of duty is struck out. The committee
advanced duties on iute, hemp and fax
largely above the Senate rates. The Senate
provision allowing the Pacific railroad to buy
other than American rails has been stricken
out.
As the bill ranges duties average from u
to $50 per cent. and upwards. On salt, the
duty is considerably higher than $50 pei
cent
The present complicated state of the bill
and the general disposition to complicate il
yet more, will probably kill it. So say goot
Judges.

SoPRANos.-The New York Evening Ga.
zette has capital article on the various styles
Of sopranos who sing at our churches, and
thus photographs the most offensive, and
perhaps best known class of all:
"a very numerous class, alack! is that for
which we can devise no more expressive and
truthful title than that Of the impudent So
prano. This creature usually sings with
energy, vigor, and often with good taste, and
is popular with the congregation. In the
choir, however, she is bosom Of destruc.
ton. To be associated with her there is to
be tied up in coffee bag with q scorpion.
She knows, in her own opinion, far more than
anybody else in the choir. She wants to
sing all the solos, and is bitter and unchar-
liable to every singer who attempts one. As
to other sopranos she is pitiless. She was
never known to say kind word to any pro.
fessional sister.
"She refuses to sing the music selected for
her by the chorister, and If he insists, she
declares he is no gentleman. Then she runs
with garbled story TO the minister or music
committee, and assumes the air Of injured
innocence generally. She is generally spoken
OF as a Tartar which is an unjust asper
sion upon remote and comparatively in,
offensive people Of Asia. She affects great
intimacy with the clergyman and his family
By her constant efforts at predominance ir
the choir she acquires masculine and for
ward style of behavior which she mistakes
for dignifed independence. She thinks the
other singers are intended by Providence as
accompanies to her own singing, and is We
hemently opposed to singing any music moi
calculated to show off her own ability. She
is altogether a mysterious dispensation o.
Providence, like mosquitoes, smallpox, OIL
the income tax"
