Dreadful Murder Of a ShoWmau-Nc
Cause Assigned for the B cody Deed.
From the Memphis Avalanche, 5th.

Last night, about eight o'clock, another
of those fearful episodes in the history Of
our city took place on Jefferson street he
tween Main and Front streets, near the
Empire saloon and restaurant. 1t appears
that party Of young men, lately arrived
on the Lizzie Gill, from St. Louis, and ut
tached to Anles' New Orleans mcnagcrc,
were in the saloon drinking. In company
with them were several other men residing
in this city They were drinking rather
heavily but no feeling seemed to exist
among the party, as no harsh language had
passed between them. One of the number
invited the murdered man out of doors,
apparently for The purpose of conversation.
Scarcely had they reached the door when
the defamation of a pistol was heard and
another murder had been committed in
Memphis. The man shot was named John
Prentice, but he was most commonly called
"Aleck' by his friends, and is represented
a. quiet man. He was shot in the left
breast, the ball ranging upward He
dropped Immediately and died without
groan. He was a native of Preston, Can
ada West was about thirtycight years Of
age, and is widower, leaving no family
except couple of unmarried sisters, re-
siding in Chicago. named Lucretia and
Mary Prentice, who were dependent upon
him for a living. Prentice was shoe
maker by trade, but has for some years fol-
lowed the calling of Snowman. and has
been for over year attached to Ames me-
nagerie, and was here some time ago with
the circus of Haight & Chambers. When
Ames left St. Louis he engaged with him
to go to New Orleans, and he had reached
thu. far toward his destination, when his
fate overlook him. About one o clock the
jury of inquest assembled, and proceeded
to the examination Of witnesses. The main
points of their evidence went no further
than the facts we have stated. 1t wa.
proved that Mr.. Robert Ferguson had been
in company with deceased, and had left
about FIVE minutes bef,re the tragedy oc-
CURED. No witness examined had seen
the shooting, and the most that could con-
meet Mr. Ferguson name with the affair
vas tie fact that shortly after Ferguson had
left, the deceased was called to the door.
hut i. was also in evidence that Ferguson
had got midway to the corner of Main be-
fore the shooting occurred, A great deal
# irrelevant testimony was introduced, but
at three clock this morning the jury had
not concluded on a verdict. Result will be
given to morrow.

q Veteran Convict.
The Utica Herald says

DS otlSd i1Cfttth say >
Not long since an elderly man, bent al
most double with age and work, and In
garments battered and torn, while passing
through Rome, New York, stopped at one
of the stores, and asked for bread or
money. He volunteered the remark that
he was ashamed to beg, but stated, as an
explanation and in extenuatlon, the fol-
lowing as the cause OF the necessity. His
home was at Saratoga and he CHANGED TO
be in Canada at the time of the rebellion
in that country in 1887. He was charged
with being engaged in that outbreak, was
tried and convicted for being in compile
ity with the Patriots" ard sentenced to
Van Dieman's Land for life. He says he
was not guilty, but that the feeling was SO
strong against the Yankees at the time
of his trial it required but slight evidence
to convict. He was then some twenty-one
or twenty-five years OF age a; he was taken
to that penal colony, anu there subjected to
the sereTest drudgery and the most lnhu-
man treatment lie and other convicts
were compelled to draw the p!ow and cart

treated not much better. if any, then the

years of life passed, never hearing from

A Warning to our People.

! The July number of the american Lac
Register, work Of acknowledged ability,
and conducted by seven of our ablcst
American jurists, speaks as follows of the
present status and tendency Of society and
morality in the United States:
''The rapid deterioration of public NOR
ais since the late rebellion began is one of
the very sad offsets to the benefits which
| are believed by many to have resulted from
the events to which it led. All things
seem to have concurred during it's brief but
exciting history to denoralize official char
acter, business tone. and even social rela-
tons The most ardent admirer of the 30
litical results will not deny that the com
munity has been lan,entably depraved. -
The standard of public and private integ
rity is many degrees lower than it was =
Money has been so abundant, speculation
has run 80 high. reckless wealth, and ruin
from fraud and folly, have changed so many
positions, and unsettled so many lives. that
an unnatural stimulus has been given to
evil agencies. The law seems to have be-
come less potent and omnipresent. Crime
and violence run riot over the country, and
those whose mission it is to reform, seem
to have. day by dag, less heart for their
work. Years must elapsed before the cur
rent of vice can be made to run backwards,
even under the most favorable Influences.
Shall we have such influences? Is our
Government equal to to the emergency !?
Is it capable of assuming that new vigor
and firmness which is necessary to bring US
back even to where we were seven years
ago?
The prospect is rather hopeless. This
Government to which the pure and earnest
are looking for reform, now that it has es-
capped from its resent danger, is sliding
more and more into the hands of danger
Gus classes Men to whom human life and
the laws of property are nothing, manipu-
late primary meetings, and set up candi-
dates for office. Gamblers. lottery men,
and liquor dealers are active in political
campaigns, and are becoming formidable in
their unions that politicians truckle to them
more than ever, and submit to the pledges
which they exact Revolutionary orgsni

evil appear to have united as if they had
common interest, and their union is

How Australian Miners Spent Their
Money,

A correspondent of the London Specta.
tor, writing from Ballarat. has the follow
ing in reference to the use which the gold
diggers once made of their nuggets:
| believe it is a fact, and no fiction, that
successful digger had a gold collar made
for his dog, that he, like his master, might
put aside his working dress and be magnif
cent for the rest of his days 1t is fact
that another rode through the streets Of
Ballarat with his horse shod with gold. To
keep carriage and pair was the great am
bition of a digger's wife There was a
woman near Colac, who lived in CONNIE on
log hut, with nothing but mud for a floor,
and couple of stools and bench or two
for furniture. Outside the hut was the
carriage, 1nder tarrauln, and pair of
horses grazed near. For year or more

A Rat Show in Paris.

A correspondent Of the London Star
writes as follows:
Last Sunday (September 20) wa, cele-
hrated the close Of the fair al St. Cloud.
The most popular Of the shows of the sea
son undoubtedly has been d homme aux
rats, wei! known to the inhabitants of the
Quarter mint Parnasse, where he has held
his headquarters for the last thirty years.
The name of this Rary of the rat race is
Antoine Leonard II the former succeeded
in breaking in the worst tempered brute
ever created, Leonard in three weeks GER
tainly accomplished the difficult task of in
culcatinx habits of obedience on the largest
rats that ever ran His favorite scenes of
action are some cross alleys in the four
tcenth and fifteenth ACCOMPLISHMENT.
His sole theatre is sort Of perch which
he sticks into the ground. aud then he
takes his corps de ballet from his pocket
AT his word of command the rats run up
and down the perch, hang on shree legs,
then on two, stand on their heads, and, in
fact, 20 through series of gymnastic ex-
ercises that would put Blondin himself to
the blush His crack actor is gray rat
he has had in his troupe for eleven years
This old fellow not only obcys Leonard, but
is personally attached to him. 1t is most
curious sight to see Leonard put him on the
ground and then walk away. The creature
runs after him and invariably catches him,
however many turns he may take to avoid
him. An Encli,hman offered fifty francs
for him short time ago, but Leonard
would not separate from his old and al
tached friend

The Rod in Schools.

The New York papers have chroniclcd
an unusual number of cases of brutal fog
ring in the schools of that State, and pub
fc attention is being aroused upon the sub
ject of corporal punishment generally.
Some manufacturers of public opinion
recommend that fogging, as part of
school discipline, either be abolished en-
.ireIy. or regulated by stringent statute,
10 that teacher can only inhict cruel pun
ishmtnt Of this description at the peril Of
fine and imprisonment. 1t is notorious that
many parents prune their 'olive branches"
after vigorous fashion that few teachers
it is an every day occurrance for ofsprings
TO be brutally belabored by the first blud7
geon that the pnter or mater tanulias can
catch up in their fury, without provoking
the indignant comment which such trans
actions would call forth from the public it
they occurred within the walls Of school
room.
Many people seem to think they have
kind of .inalienablc fright to pound their
own flesh and blood, and if demonstrated
with FOR their cruelty, arc very pat with
King SOLOMON injunction, Spare the
rod and spoil the child" but if tine same
child is whipped ever so lightly at school,
the teacher is denounced as a barbarous
wretch.
There has unquostonably been a great
and grateful reform in school discipline
within the past quarter Of a century. We
can remember the time when dozen or
more foegings per diem was regular pro-
granme in a country district school; and
when teacher who should undertake to
govern his pupils 10y any other kind Of
''moral suasion," save the ferule and the
rod, woulR have been laughed at. The de-
grading custom of " horscing one boy

hands while the pedagogur cxecutioner pro-
ceeded to polish of = tho.c parts of the
culprit's body thus brought prominently
into notice, has happily died ont with other
barbarisms among US, and is now practiced
only in enlightened England.

A Singular Case.

One of the most singular criminal cases
that W. have ever kBnwn TO occur at the
police Office, say. the New Haven Journal,
happened last week A young uian, agci
about twenty three years came to this city
With horse and made arrangements to sell
him at auction. Some livery staolemen,
hearing the mans story about the horse,
had their suspicious aroused. AMI came to
the conclusion thar he had not come into
possession of it in lawful manner. They
had the man arrested At the station
house he would give 10 name, remarking
that they could call him what they chose.
Finally. at the suggestion of another .pris-
oner, he said they might call him VIM.
! Smith. Upon examining his rockets a
letter was found in one, which. when the
officer attempted to take it nut, he tried TO
seize and throw il into the fire, but did not
succeed Upon reading this letter, it APP
peared to be written by the prisoner, and
was addressed to a man residing at Wis
casset, small village about twelve miles
from New York city, who had had his
house entered by burglar The letter
stated to this gentlemen, whose name We
could not learn. that n man named 0 Leary,
the man whom he had arrested wa an In
nocent man Says the writer: Il COM
mitted the burglary. aud to convince you
that | did, | will state some facts in con-
nection with it, He then describes how
| he entered the house, and what rooms he
entered and ransacked, and said that he
entered the chamber Of the daughter of
the gentleman, and while examing her bu-
reau drawers she was awakened and sprang
from her bed and seized him so firmly that
he could not get away, and by her cries,
aroused the gentleman and another lady,
who also seized hold of him, and they all
four rolled down stairs together. and that
| the writer finally made his escape, and that
he carried off diamond pin, belonging to
the daughter. Then he says: Il return
the pin to your daughter, who is a noble
! and brave woman--as brave as any man |
ever saw in the army. After praising the
daughter still farther he expresses surprise
! how the gentleman could describe him so
and have 0 Leary arrested, as he only saw
the writer tor a moment in the dark, and
says, How near you describe me, vii

aiming his clothing still further, the da-

! recollecting having read an account IN a

the young lady struggling with the robber,
came to the conclusion that they had got
the man. Soon after the fellow was ar
rested, information was received from " is.

there yesterday. The man was sent to New

Sunday Locomot:oa.

The Sunday car question in PHILADELPHIA
has been decided by the Pennsylvanis Su.
nreme Court in favor of the railway com
pany. which committed the I" offen.e' Of
running its car: in that city on Sunday
The Press gives the decision tthe" opin.
ion y Of Justice Ready in full, and it is an
exhaustive and interesting document He
urges the running of the cars on Sunday
as "a work of necessity and charity" He
not only presents the ecclesiastical au,hori-
ties and considers the religious bearings of
the subject, but discusses it on the broad
est humanitarian grounds. His descrip-
ton is most suggestive and Interesting Of
Sunday travel in Great Britain, and in all
parts of America. particularly in Pitts
burg. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany alone runs thirteen trains on Sunday,
and the Pittsburgh city cars are all going
at the same time and at the usual Intervals;
and it is said by Judge Read that what
Is called the church train" was estab-
Iished at the urgent solicitation of many
citizens of Pittsburgh. including clergymcn,
who reside in the outskirts or country dis
tricts.
Justice. READ says:
:" ClersymeL, lawyers, physicians, mer-
chants and even judges, have six days in
the week in which they might enjoy our
great public park, by means of the nassen-
ger railways. The laboring man, the!me
chanic, the artisan, has but one day in
which he can rest, can dress himself and
his family in their Sunday clothes, attend
church, and take healtful exercises.
But we should not oblige the workman
TO confne himself to his own narrow, st-
fling room. and forbid him to enjoy the
fresh air of heaven We have three long
months of summer which the lahoring man
cannot escape. Merchants, manufacturers
lawyers, judges, and physicians run away
from them. and even clergyman leave their
churches, and go to the sea shore or to the
mountains, to avoid the torrid months Of
July and August, Shall not the operative
have the poor privilege allowed him of q
passenger car on Sunday p
