During the last fifteen years Ireland has
decreased in population nearly eight
hundred thousand.
The New York Post calls the attention
of consumers of canned vegetables, to
the fact that the cans purporting to
contain two pounds, are really much
lighter in weight. At recent trial In
Brooklyn, three packers testified that
during the past three years they never
had put up two pounds of tomatoes in
what they called a two-pound can.
The same style Of swindle has come into
vogue with strawberry baskets.
A prize fight took place at Miami
burgh few days since between two
men named Phoebus and Bessler. The
fight originated from the statement of
the latter declaring himself the best
man in the country. The result proved
he was not, for Phoebus arose too early
for him and whipped him. The report
says Phoebus beat his opponent pretty
badly, but with much Judgment and dis
cretioB.
At the recent meeting of the Clark
County Medical Society, at Jefferson
vile, Indiana, the following resolRtions
were passed: "Resolred, 1. That it is
the sense of this Society that any at.
tempt to destroy the ovium or fetus
IN utero, at any time. from the hour OF
conception to the end of stero CESSATION,
or the maturity offetal life, is infanti-
eide in the strict meaning of the term,
and incurs all the penalty which is at
tached to murder, and the act should
be punished as such when brought to
light. 2. That every physician who
LENDS himself, in any manner, TO this
crime, is perticps crimisis, and should
be punished accordingly srss-

In the discussion on the question Of
Amendments In the Young Mems
Christian Association Convention at
Montreal recently there were some re-
markabIs facts stated. First, was the
statement of the Philadelphia dele
gates. Their membership is very large.
Their arrangements for interesting
young men are extraordinary. Free
lectures on science, classes for the study
of almost all languages, sociables, Bible
classes and prayer meetings, are part
of their machinery. To these they had
added the chess table, dominoes and the
like. But experience had proven
that even these apparently harmless
games were, in the rooms, of very
doubtful value. At the hour of noon
PRAYER, the attendants would find young
men busy with their games, and which
they pursued throughout the hour. 1t
led also to other demonstrations unde-
siTable in such place. 1t was soon
suspected that that which was SO
pleasant at home was OF doubtful SER
vice there. So they determined TO
abandon every game OF chance as a
means of attraction TO their rooms. 1t
was shown, too, that the only Associa-
lion which had ever introduced bill
lizard table had ruined two SONS of
leading family by its fascination, lead
ing them TO the billiard saloon, and all
its pernicious adjuncts of bad men and
poisonous liquors. The Association
irself soon died. Theexperience of one
of The leading families in Montreal,
who introduced Il billiard table into
their house for their sons, and their
subsequent ruin by being drawn into
the society of billiard players aud their
saloons, fell on the multitude present at
the time with great power. All felt
how dangerous were these experiments,
and how impossible IL was for the Con-
vention to encourage what had already
worked so much harm.

a maiden lady, by the name of King
ling, who settled in Warren county,
Ohio, many years ago, from Germany,
was killed by being thrown out OF her
buggy last Thursday, about mile
West of Lebanon. She leaves an estate
worth $40, 900 or $4,000, which she be-
queaths to Warren county, for tho pur-
pose of building and maintaining an
orphan asylum, provided the county
will raise like sum for the same pur-
pose. Should this county decline to
comply with the conditions of the be-
quest, the estate goes TO the German Or
phan Asylum of Cincinnati, named in
her will.
There is a bit of romance connected
with the history of Miss KIingling,
that may not be uninteresting. In her
youth she had a lover 10 whom she
pledged her troth, but the marriage be-
ing prevented by opposing relations,
she and her lover entered into pledges
never to marry, and she came with a
brother, since deceased, TO this country.
Years after, her lover died unmarried,
leaving large sum OF money to found
an orphan asylum at Frankfort. Sub
sequenlly, Miss Klingling became enti-
tied 10 an estate in Germany,and there
upon devoted large portion of IL 10
swell the fund bsqueathed by her low
er, and now her death reveals the fact
she has devoted the bulk of her prop
ertS to found a similar institution at
the home of her adoption.

The Duty of the Hour.

The Thirty ninth Congress, controlled by
the Radical Rump, passed a law directing
that all government printing in the South
should be given exclusively to Radical organs.
General Pope, the military satrap of this
District, has recently issued his royal ukase,
requiring all the civil and military officers of
the State to advertise exclusively in the col
umns Of reconstruction papers. The Loyal
League of this city, which, through the power
of the military, has control of the city govern
ment, eject from Office and patronage those
who are not en- rapplr4 with Radicalism. In
dividual Loyal Leaguers carry this spirit Of
prescription into all the transactions of life,
and neither support or patronize any trade,
profession or calling which is not Radical.
Is it moi time that the conservative element
in the State should profit by these examples,
and conGne their support and patronage to
those who are opposed to negro. supremacy Z
Should not every white man who feels that
his own is the superior, and should be The
controlling race, determine to employ, patron
ize, trade, or support none but those of both
races who are opposed to the Radicals and
their proscriptive policy2 This system has
been commenced by the Radicals. They are
pressing it to the utmost extremity. Shall
we not, for our own protection aud safety, be
governed by the same feelings-those of race,
color 6 and interest Y-Chronicle & Sentinel.

ASSASSINATION OF THE TRAITOR LOPEZ.
The particulars of the assassination of Lo-
pez, the betrayer Of Macmillan, are as fol-
lows:
Lopez was stopping at hotel in Puebla,
where his wife spurned him from her pres.
ence. Early one morning Mexican arrived
and famiiarized himself with an ost:er in q
livery stable adjoining the hotel.
Gen. Miguel Lopez was inquired tor, but
not being in, tho stranger was told that the
General would be at dinner: Before the
dinner hour Lopez returned and was Pointed
out to the stranger, who made special note
of his man. When dune rwas called, Lopez
and his assassin occupied opposite seats at
the table. After some minutes, during which
time the stranger called for and drank
glass of wine, ho deliberately rose, drew a
concealed knife and spraug upon Lopez, and
stabbed him nine times. The stranger then
took his hat, and, as he started to leave,
said "Tbis is the way all traitors should
be paid" No one interfered or prevented
the assassin from leaving. Thus was the
blood Of Maxmilian, Miramon, Melia, yes,
and thousands of others, avenged. This re-
por! is regarded as authentic.

Reristration.

As yet VIC havo not been able to procare the
results OF registration at the precincts in our Dis
trct already visited by the Registrars. The
work, begun during the past week, will last, with
moro or less continuance until the first Of October.
Aud again we seek to urge upon the minds of our
people that there cannot possibly be an excuse
for tho abandonment Of the obvious and serious
duty of Registration. As VIC have said before
the citizen who shall prove delinquent on thi;
occasion, who from nuy consideration shall fail to
have himself registered, will stand in the attitude
Of one who deserts his poet in u moment of great
peril to his cause and country. His rights, his
property, his every interest, call him to the duty
of Registration. Remember that the Radicals
arc thoroughly organized. Every voter whom
they hope to influence in the coming election,
will bo brought to the registry lists. Shall VIC,
whose interests are go momentous, be less active
aud energetic than they' Is there single white
man in the District whose time is go much occu-
pied as to be unable to give few hours to the
service of his country, his family, and the success
Of human libcrty'
He who fails to register will have no voice in
voting for or against Convention; no voice in
cec,iug good men to the Convention in case
Convention is called; and, therefore, cannot ex-
pect good men in the Convention, nor 4 good
Constitution from it.
