Another Whife Woman EIavished'
by a Negro.

The 'MetdnsorG (Illinois) Sentinel, of the
9th inst. has the following:
Last Thursday afternoon the citizens of
Minonk were thrown into great excitement
by the announcement that highly respec-
table married lady, named McCulloch, had
been ravished by negro. The particulars,
as far as we can learn, are as follows: On
the afternoon in question, negro called at
the house of Mr.. John McCulloch. distant
from Minonk about one mile and half,
and asked for drink of wafer. This Mrs.
McCulloch, whose husband, was absent,
furnished. and the negro thanked her and
started off. He had not gone far, however,
before he returned. The lady, on seeing
him coming back, became alarmed, and
closed and locked the door. When the ne
gro, whose brutal passions were now bare
ly aroused, found that his entrance had
been barred, he went off short distance
to pile of stones, and, arming himself
with number of these missiles, he ap-
preached the door, and with threats the
most horrible, demanded admittance. Find
ing that he could not prevail upon the lady
to open the door, he broke it in. The poor
woman and her now frightened children
began ito scream; when the negro told
them he would kill them if they did not
desist. The brute then took hold OF the
mother and dragged her to the barn, where
he succeeded in accomplishing his hellish
purpose. His victim was found in, suf-
} ing condition short time aiterward by
two gentlemen who were passing in a
buggy. a'.t'
After learning the facts of the case, and
not being prepared to give chase. the gen
tleman returned to Minonk, and laid the
matter before the officers, and in less than
twenty minutes party of seventy-five or
one hundred men were in hot pursuit of
the perpetrator; but not till toward even
ing was he captured. On arriving in town
the excitement was so great that it was
with the utmost difficulty that the officers
restrained the people from laying violent
hands upon their prisoner, and only by
stategy did they succeed in lodging him in
the calaboose, around which strong guard
had to be placed. At midnight the excite
ment was unabated, and while the mob was
absent firing up with forty-rod whisky,
the officers very quietly took the nigger
out, and placing him in buggy at hand,
were soon on the road to Metamora, which
latter place the mob swore the niger would
never reach alive. tlrigp9r vtsIi9rf g.ni :
Our Circuit Court had adjourned the day
before, else the prisoner would have had an
Immediate trial. He will now lie in Jail
till the December term,s at which time he
will, no doubt, gethis deserts. What makes
the crime appear more brutal and revolving
is the fact that the lady had but recently
been confined, and of course was not in
any condition to resist the demons attack
upon her, though exhausting what little
strength she had in attempting to get
free. -.'-.,. ID. f.t-..r

beef and Beer for Boys.

A writer in the London Medical Mirror
claims that great injury is done to the boys
in England in not allowing them to drink
ale and beer while they are quite young
His remark in regard to the diet furnished
at boarding schools probably applies to
some of those schools in this country as
well as in England. He saws: hr ~

CooIie Labor In tho United States.

We give space to Q communication to-day
from an advocate Of coolie labor in tho United
States He tells US that the experiments made
with Chinese laborers in Louisiana have 90
far been attended with very satisfactory re-
suits; that these Chinese coolies are good
laborers, and are well fed aud cared for and
command good wages. That these people
work faithfully, even on low wages and scanty
diet, Is universally conceded; but this does
not reach the merits Of the question. II we
proceed regularly to tho Introduction Of these
coolie laborers We reopen something like the
detestable African slave trade, with all its
horrors Of "the Middle Passage" greatly In
creased BY the increased distance Of ocean
tfxbsportation. And then these Chinese are
an inferior race, calculated, from their intro :
duction In any large numbers, 10 give US in the
next generation or two O confusion Of
mongrels worse than that existing In Mexico.
Il seems to Us that our true policy Is by ell
available means 10 encourage the Introduction
Of European laborers. Those portions Of the

them, and that Hunnicutt had such streng tn
with his dusky supporters that all others must
give way. Bolts, Pierpoint, Rives and the rest
are represented as falling into line behind
Hunnicutt All this means that the niggers are
the people. They will make no division of
power with any party, will listen to no terms,
will have everything or nothing, and scorn all
mon who hint the necessity of moderate courses
Hunnicutt is demagogue Of the least respec-
table type, and we may wish the republicans
in the Old Dominion great joy with their new
leader.

Russia Is not only pursuing her advances in
Central Asia, but is consolidating the territory
already gained. The Gear has just issued
decree constituting the territory lately con-
quered In Bokhara and along the line Of the
Juxartes river one military province. For
Governor he has named General Kaufman, who
in the Caucasus and elsewhere has displayed
administrative and military ability of high
order. This step Is important Bokhara, with
its strangely mongrel population of Afghans,
Arabs, Jews, Calmucks, MongoIs, Taujiks, and
half dozen other unpronounceable tribes, Is
not SO barbarous spot as might be thought
1t has magnificent agriculture and an i'm
mense commerce. Its virtual absorption into
the Russian empire is great acquisition In
material wealth alone. More than this, Il is
another outpost gained in the great march Of
Russian influence from Moscow to Hindostan.
Bokhara, won over and consolidated under
Russian rule, the adjacent steppes Of Khiva,
which Peter the Great desired 30 earnestly to
acquire, will follow next the defeat which
Russian arms there sustained through British
interposition will be avenged and the road 70
Cabool and the Punjab will be comparatively
open. Already the British empire in India and
British schemes in China are endangered by
the increasing sggrandizement Of Russia In
Central Asia Every province absorbed by the
Car Is another bond on England to keep the
peace on the Pruth and in the Black Sea, and
not 10 interfere too much In favor of the Otto.
man empire.
