those days hearts we're still aching, and
by whose memory the house still seemed

Numbered their doctrines down upon me

spoke humbly out of the dust, from
narrower pulpit, from an older text than
any they ever found in Cruden's Con-
cordance; but there was an eloquence in
their voices, the listening chapel had
never known. There were stately mon
uments, and studied Inscriptions, but

The Germans and the Natural
izatiOn Laws.

The Germans of New York have
taken a distinctive stand on the
question of naturalization 10
noring party lines. the leading
Germans of both Republican and
Democratic organizations have met
in consultation, and agreed to
memorialize Con ~ress in a.or of
shortening the term ofprohation for
citizenship, and adversely to ahro
eating the power of State courts to
naturalize. At the same time they
pledge their hearty concurrence
with all proper guards that may be
adopted to prevent illegal or fraud
ulent naturalization. The move
ment thus inaugurated in New York
will probably be followed in other
parts Of the country where the
Germans are in great number.
The views of the German portion
OF our opnlation are entitled to
respectful consideration in the mod
itication of the naturalization laws.
They form very large and valuable
proportion of the adopted citizens
Of this country, and the complaints
against them in regard to fraudn-
lent naturalization are very few. AS
a mass, they are peaceable. indus

citizenship too highly to look with

Good Policy in Advertising.

The real estate dealers in Chicago
have been holding a meeting and
fixing up an organization that they
call union. The main thing un-
der discussion at the meeting vas
the price of advertising in the
Chicago newspapers. 1t is very
curious hat the dealers seemed to
think that one newspaper was as
good as another to advertise in, and
that they should discriminate against
those that charged high prices. The
fact that an advertisement in a
paper that charged twelve and one
half cents per line might be worth
ten times as much to the advertiser
as if it were in a paper charging
four cents a line, did not seem to
occur to the dealers. And sererai

Horrible Tragedy in Tennessee.

MEMPHIS, February 20.-One of
the most horrible tragedies ever
known IN this vicinity took place
on Friday night. three miles north
east OF Raleigh Springs, and ahont
twelve miles from this city. Three
unknown white men went to the
house of Colonel Tom Dickens.
while he and two men, named
Wilson and Humphrey, were eating
supper. about O'Clock. knocked
at the door, which was opened by
Humphrey, when, without word
he was shot through the body
simultaneously with the shot. Colo
mel Dickens and wilson rose from
the table, when the assassins with
knives and pistols in their hands.
rushed into the room and putting
out the lights, continued firing at
Dickens and Wilson.
Dickens received one ball in the
body. and with Hum ,hrey managed
to crawl out of the room and make
his way to a neighbor's, when the
alarm was given. ! he neighbors
were aroused and went to ickens'
house, In the yard near the front
door the body Of. a negro woman,
Colonel Dickens servant, was found
Wilson's body was found in the
room with eight shots through it
and literally cut to pieces. Hum
phreys vas also found, badly
wounded; he having secreted him
self after getting into the yard.
Af,er concentrating the bloody
work the asSassins pIunlered the
house. taking everything ofvalue.
and rifing the pockets Of Wilson
and the negro. They took too
valuable horses from the staple and
made their escape, since which
nothing has been heard Of them.
