of thought quite as much as of act.
To the pure all things are pure. But

stimulants of evil and unspeakable

Demoeratic Tacties in Texas.


A few nights since, a party Of eleven
mounted men, disguised in white
gowns, tall, cOnical hats, and faces
masked, came to the cabin occupied
by an elderly couple, on a plantation
in Upshur county. These devils took
the old man out of bed, tied a rope
around his ankles, and hitched the
other end to the horn of one of their
saddl, g, and all of them then mounted
and started off on a run, dragging the
man after. They went about quar-
ter of mile, over corduroy bridge.
They stopped here and pulled up a
part of the bridge, put the man down
head foremost into the water, hauled
him up when half drowned, mounted
their horses again and puIlel him
back over the same road and in the
same manner as before, until they
came to his cabin again. They then
beat him with leather straps until
they skinned his back from his neck
TO his waist. The men who are con-
cerned in these oUtrages belong to the
best families in the counties where
they live, and they rule there, and nc
civil officer dare arrest them, and il
they did, no magistrate dare punish
them. ..

How 81 Disgtaeed lie Family.'

How SAL DisgFaCed the Family
A traveller in the State of Illinois,
some years ago, came to a log hut on
the prairie near Cairo and there halted.
He went into the house. It was a
wretehed affair an empty packing
box for table, while two or three
chairs and disgraeeful stools graced
the reception room, the dark walls OF
which were further Ornamented by a
display oFtinware and a broken shelf
article or two. The woman was cry
ing in one corner and the man with
tears in his eyes and d pipe in his
mouth, on stool, with his sorrowful
looking head supported by the palms
of his hands. Not word greeted the
interloper H"A
ssWell," he said, t'you seem to be in
awful trouble here. What's up?'
aAi, we are almost crazed, /" said
the old woman s'and amt got no
patience to see folks now" p a.
f'That's all right,n said the stranger,

uWeIl, we've lost our gal; our Sal's
gone off and left us" /" said the old man
in tones Of deep despair.
"Ah, do you know what induced
her to leave you 2'' remarked the new
arrival. edi aHieg ~
HWelL we can't say neighbor,as how
she's so far lost as to be induced, but
then she's gone and disgraced us, re-
marked the afflicted father.
tYes, stranger, and-not as should
say it as L is her mother-but there
warn't pootier gal in all the West
than our Sal Y She's gone and brought
ruin on her own head now" followed
the stricken mother.
t'Who has she gone off with ?" in
quired the visitor. .:t i... z. -..E-
amWelI, there's the trouble. The gal
could have done well, and might
have married Martin Kehoe, capital
shoemaker, who, although he has but
one eye, plays the flute in a likely
manner and earns a good living,
Then, look what life she has desert
ed she was here surrounded by all
the luxury in the country" said the
father.
ayes, who knows what poor Sal will
get to eat, drink and wear?" groaned
the old woman.
"And who is the fellow who has
taken her into such misery ?"
"Why, she's gone of and got married
to a cTiter called an editor, as lives in
the village, and the Lord only knows
how he's to earn living"

Miscellaneous.
Girls should Learn to Keep

Girls Should Learn to Keep
House. sr
No young lady can be too wen in
.structed in anything which will effect
the comfort of a family. Whatever
position in society she occupies, she
needs a practical knowledge of house
hold duties. She may be placed in
such circumstances that it will not be
necessary for her to perform much do
nestle labor; but on this account she
should not no less than if she was
obliged to preside personally over the
cooking stove and pantry. Indeed, I
have thought that it is more difficult
to direct others, andTequires more ex-
perienee, than to do the same work
with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently 80 nice and
particular that they do not like to give
up any part of the care of their chill
dren. This is a great mistake in their
management, for they are often bur
dened with labor and need relief.
Children should be early taught to
make themselves useful to assist
their parents every way in their pow
er, and to consider it privilege to do
so.
Young people can not realize the
importance Ofa thorough knowledge
of housewifery; but those who have
suffered the inconvenience and morti-
ficatiOD of ignorance can well appreci-
ate it. Children should be early
INDUCED in their disposition to bake
and experiment in various ways. It
is often but troublesome help that
they afford still it is a great advant-
age to them. 1 know little girl who
at nine years old made a loaf of bread
every week during the winter. Her
mother taught her how much yeast,
salt and flour to use, and she became
quite an expert baker. Whenever
she is disposed to try her skill in maxi
ing simple cakes or pies, she is permit
ted to do SO. She is thus, while
amusing herself, learning an impOr-
tant lesson. Her mother calls her lit
tie housekeeper, and often permits her
to get what is necessary for the table.
She hangs the keys by her side, and
very musical is the jingling 10 her
ears. / think before she is out Of her
teens, upon which she has not yet en-
tered, that she will have some idea
how to cook.
Some mothers give their daughters
the care of housekeeping, each week
by turns. 1T seeras to me a good ar
rangement, and a most useful part of
their education. Domestic labor is sby
no means incompatible with the high
est degree of refinement and mental
culture. Many of the most elegant,
accomplished women I have known,
have looked well to their household
duties, and have honored themselves
and their husbands by so doing,
Economy, ia te and skill in cooking,
and neatness of the kitchen, have a
great deal to do. in making life hap
py and prosperous. The charm Of
good housekeeping is in good order,
economy and taste displayed in at
tentiOn to little things; and these
things have a wonderful influence.
A dirty kitchen and bad cooking
have driven many man from home
to seek comfort and happiness some
where else. None of our excellent
girls are fit to be married until they
are thoroughly educated in the deep
and profound mysteries Of the kitchen.

TerrihIe Murder.

"A terrible and mysterious murder was
committed in Jacksonville, Illinois, a
few days since. Judge Mcconnell, re-
siding upon one of the principal streets,
was killed in broad daylight, while
his family were in an adjoining room ;
and there was no alarm given in time
to discover who the murderer was.
A business man Of the place, named
W. A. Robinson, against whom the
Judge held a note for $4O0 due the day
of the murder, has been arrested,
charged with the crime. 1t has been
proven that he called upon the JUICE
a few minutes before the murder, and
an interest calculator was found lying
upon the table, with marks showing
that they had been counting the inter
est upon this note. A singular train
of circumstances seems to be woven
around the prisoner.

Many children, instead of being
plump and fresh as q peach, are as
withered and wrinkled as last years
apples, because they do not sleep
enough. Some physicians think that
the bones grow only during Sleep
This 1 cannot say certainly; but l do
know that. those little folks who sit up
late at nights are usually nervous,
weak, small and sickly. The reason
why YOU need more sleep than your
parents is becauseyou have to grow
and they do not. They can use up
the food they eat, in thinking, talk
ing and working, while you should
use some Of yours for growing, You
ought to sleep great deal; if you do
not, you will in activity consume all
yeu eat, and have none or not enough
to grow with. Very few smart child
rem excel, or even equal other people
when they grow up. Why is this2-
Because their heads, if not their bod
les, are kept too busy, so they cannot
sleep, rest and grow strong in body
and brain. Now when your mother

Your name may be, it is time 10 go to

THE QUESTION OF Color AND THE
INAUGURATION BALL.-A cOlored
man, J. S. Richardson, Of this city,
has addressed a note to Mayor Bowen,
as chairman of the committee on the
sale of tickets for the Inauguration
Ball, stating that a number of his
friends from Philadelphia and New
York would be here on the 4th of
March, and asked whether any dis
tinction on account of color is to be
made in the sale of tickets. Mayor
Bowen this morning addressed him a
reply, in which he says "that any per
son of respectable character and stand
ing in the community, who applies
and pays for a ticket to the Inaugural
ton Ball, to be held in the north
wing of the Treasury Department,
will not be denied, at least so far as
my action is concerned. The ques-

A Newspaper Sued for Expos
ing a arEfftfllo.

Some time during last spring the
Hamilton Evening Times, a Canadi-
an paper, published some very severe
articles with reference to the imposi-
tions practiced upon travellers and
visitors at Niagara Fails, and called
particular attention to the Table
Rock House, kept by man named
Saul Davis, familiarity called "Old
Saul" which it characterized as 'tho
cave of the forty thieves" the sup
preston of which by the government
was necessary tor the projection Of
travellers. It also stated that the
proprietor had served a term m the
New York Penitentiary. Where
upon Davis commenced libel suit
against the editor of the Times, lay
ing his damages at a heavy SUN.
The case came up for trial at st.
GATHERINGS on the 9th inst, before his
lordship Justice John Wilson, and
lasted four days. The defendant
pleaded the truth of bis allegations as
Justification, aud having advertised
for witnesses, among the number who
had been cheated at Daviss estab-
Ilishment, succeeded in establishing
his plea to the satisfaction Of the Jury,
who seem to have become convinced
that the Table Rock House was really
den of thieves. -.r
In his charge to the jury the judge
used the following language:
"WithOut doubt it is the duty Of
every person who publishes paper
to give full publicity to wrong-dOing.
1t may be that judge has done
wrong, a legislator, or a minister Ol
the Crown, and if SO, it should be ex-
posed for the public benefit, and SO
far it is right.
'It is right that areparation should
be made for charges hastily made
and without foundation; but if actual
lily these things did occur, and there
was evidence of them, be would be q
mean, contemplate being, and IN,
worthy connection with the press
that would withdraw them and sneak
Through an apology"
This we regard as the correct doc
trine, by which every editor should
be governed.

The fashion set by Mr.. Dickens in
the public reading of his own prOduc-
tions is becoming popular. Mr.. Rob
ert Buchanan has just made his first
appearance as a reader of his own
poems in London. He had a literary
audience, and his selections were all
from his dramatic writings. As in
the case of Mr.. Dickens, the general
verdict Is that Mr.. Buchanan is not a
elocutionist, but that his lines
derive a new charm from the personal
magnetism of the authors presence. g
