ity of Boonville, was passing along the
public road, in company with several Of
bis neighbors and friends, when he was
accosted by VIM. Roberts, a young man
Of scarce twenty-four years, who de-
manded Of the old gentleman a drink of
whisky. When told by Mr.. Roettger that
he had no whisky, Roberts drew Colts
revolver. and taking deliberate aim, hred
on Mr.. Roeitger, the ball passing through
his heart, causing instantaneous death
The murderer Immediately aed, and bad
not been captured at late hour last
night, though every effort is being made
to secure him and bring him to justice.

Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, must
be very popular man in his diocese.
Four cities, Athens, Atlanta, Augusta,
and Savannah compete for the honor Of
his society, as permanent resident,
each Offering him an elegant mansion.
Savannah, however, backs her offer with
an intimation that she will give him a
handsome addition to his salary. In
view of the small emoluments which the
clergy, as a body, receive, this example
is worthy of general imitation.

Brownlow, the Patron Saint Of Ravishsrs

During the war, Charles Davidson, a
negro, committed rape on respectable
young lady Of Maury county, and was
sent to the pcnitentiary for twenty one
years. The other day he was turned scot
free by Brownlow. No stronger evidence
of his guilt could exist than the fact that
he was kept in prison during large part
of the war, surrounded alternately by
Confederates and Federals, and yet nc
one was so base as to release him.

A Curious Marriage Ceremony.


The following curious custom of the Nestor-
ian Christians, as related by the Rev. Arthur
Bogdon, is commended to the serious attention of
the young gentlemen and young ladies Of our
country, who propose to commit matrimony.-
After the marriage ceremony has been perform
ed, the weddingpa is taken in wagons from the
church to the house of the bridegroom's father.
When the wagon, I'd in which the bride is seated
alone, reaches the gate opening into the yard in
which the house is situated, it is halted, and the
bridegrooms mother comes to meet it with a
baby and three suits of baby clothes in her arms
She throws tho child and the clothes into the
arms of the bride, who is required to dress and
undress the badly three times in the presence of
her mother.in-law, who watches every movement
as only mother-in-law can watch daughter-in-
law. If the newly.made bride does not perform
the operation TO the satisfaction of her severe
judge, she is considered unfit for her new posi-
ton, the wagon Is turned around and she is tax
en- back home for further instruction, and the
poor bridegroom is compelled to live in single
blessedness until his wife is educated up to the
proper standard.

LONDON. Oct 9.-Right Honorable VIM Z
| Gladstone has issued his address to the cleo
| tors of South Lancashire. After reviewing tn,
| progress of reform in England, be proceeds *
| criticise the course of tho government espe
cially condem ming increased estimates. In re
| gard to ireland he says the true policy would
DO to make the law the friend of the Irish peo
Pile. He repudiated the proposition for gen.
eral endowment of churches in ireland, and
says the established church is aggravated by
the fact that it is the church of the rich. The
arguments in favor of its continuance are q
satire on misapplied funds The established
church is the work of past oppression. Discs
tablishment will give the clergy OF that church
more scope. The interests OF the Irish people
must be cared for. The revenue must be ap-
plied TO public and social works, and not ia
religious epdowments. Mr.. Gladstone closes
with an appeal to the voters of South Lam
cashire to support the only just policy which
England can pufsne. siG4 ritrfrr f.a.IF
