AtrOciOus Affair.

AtrOc1OuS Ana1r.
The latest advices which we have re.
ceived from Fort Scott, Kansas, tells of q
most atrcious outrage that has just been
perpetrated at Lador, few miles south Of
the above Fort. 1t seems that seven men,
either Texans or struggling outlaws from
Indian Territory, strolled into the town
of Lador, and, after drinking oil day, they
went to the boarding house of J. N.
Roach, and asked to stay oil night. Be-
ing refused on account Of their drunken
condition, one of the party knocked Roach
insensible with revolver, and then went
to the bed occupied by the two daughters
of Roach, aged twelve and fourteen years,
and ravished them. Roach revived after
time, but feared to stir, knowing he
would be killed if he did. He describes
the cries and entreaties of the girls as
heartrending; A quarrel arose among
the demons, and one was shot dead while
satisfying his lust. At dsy-break the
party fed, one taking with him to the
woods the youngest girl. The town was
Immediately aroused, and parties started
in every direction in search of the fends
The ono with the girl was soon overtaken
and hanged to tree. Two others were
found secreted in town, and were hanged
to the same tree. The remaining two
were also hanged. The other one, at las,
accounts, was in custody Of the citizens
but will probably share the fate Of hi
companions. -Erch.

Amusements.
After the lessons of the day are over,
the children draw round the table, and fun
is the order of the day Tor night we should
say. The elders of the fireside are not
unwilling to join in the family circle.
Games are proposed.

can play"
"Oh, yes,' says Arthur, ''play allitera-
tions, that's fun.''
"Well. alterations it shall be. Father
will begin the game.''

the father.
Each in turn repeats it.: zone OK or

The fun of the game consists in repeat
ing these absurdities in regular order, not
emitting one word. Poor little Minnie
fails entirely, but adds to the fun, and cv.
en- mamma stumbles over the sentences.
But to continue:
"Four fat friars tanning fainting flies"
"Five furriers flying to France for
furs."
"Six Scotch servants serving saints"
"Seven Severn salmons swallowing
sardines.'
Eight elegant Englishmen eating
eggs"
"Nine nimble noblemen noddiug
noses"
"Ten tin tea-pots turning topsy turvy."
eleven elephants cycling the elements"
Twelve tipsy taiiors twirling tops.'
This game can be carried on according
to persons ingenuity, and it's productive
of laughter and fun. For a while it is
amusement enough to laugh over each
others mistakes.

Doctor johnson, who was ono Of the
most vorscious of eaters; as all readers OF

haddies, and at Cullen, where he stopped
to breakfast, the sight of them 80 disgust

taken out of the room. This was not be-
cause they were unsavory; what travel.
Ter of to-day does not consider properly
cured Finnon haddie worth travelling to
Scotland for y but simply because it was
his humor to be anti-Scottish. He also
objected theoretically to haggis, though
he ate good plateful Of it.
"What do ye think O. the haggis ?''
asked the hospitable old lady, ut whose
table he was dining, seeing that he par
took 80 p!entifully Of it.

Catholic Fair.
The Elkader Journal gives full detail
of this very interesting event. The re
port is very creditably got up, but we can
not space all of it. Rev. Mr.. Quigley
was the "Father" of the movement, and q
most estimable priest he is too, both in
theologic ability and sterling social quail
ties. We are pleased to claim a: person

Sisters School established at Elkader
Many professionals favored the idea and the
Fair was got up to secure the initial point
The receipts were 500 net profit. The
beginning was Wednesday, 18th, the end
ing was Monday evening following. There
mnst have been very large attendance,
great zeal, and much liberality to collect
nearly $1,000 gross in these times oil
closeness in money. Father Quigley has
the complete confidence of all who know
him and this is one Of the secrets Of his
success. The exhibition was similar in
arrangement, quality of goods and taste
in refreshments as are witnessed at oil
Fairs of the kind. Miss B. McGaharan, o!
Clermont, drew gold watch and chain
for selling 5ll tickets. Miss B. Coughlin,
of Littleport, sold 446 but drew no prize,
though Father Quigley, with generosity
worthy Of him, presented Miss G. with a
watch and chain purchased with his pri.
vate funds. Prizes of value were drawn
by Michael Lane, Homer Sain, Michael
More, A. z. Wakeman, Ia little girls

Editor of the Journal, Ia little boys suit.

card:
To THE LADIES OF ELKADRR.-I can net

THE BIG INJUNs.
Spotted Tail to-day informed the secre-
tary Of the interior that his people were
poor, and want clothing and ammunition.
The president gave reception to Red
Cloud, Spotted tail, and other chiefs to-
night.
The entertainment was as elegant as
that given to Prince Arthur. Mrs. Grant,
all the members of the cabinet, with their
ladies, the British, Russian, and other
ministers and their families were present.
Spotted tail remarked to his interpreter
during the feast that the white man had a
great many more good things to eat and
drink than they usually sent out to the
Indians. The interpreter replied that il
was because he had quit the war-path and
gone to farming. "How,' exclaimed the
chief, 81 will quit the war-path and 20 to
farming, if you will always treat me like
this. and let me live in as big house."

An accident occurred at Ridgway on
Monday night, by which Mr.. Lewis
Thompson, formerly of Washington Pra-
iric, but lately Of LIE Roy, had both legs
terribly mangled, and several ribs crushed.
lie was undertaking to take the night
train west, but freight train stood on the
track, when the passenger train whistled.
Thompson heard the whistle and thought
the train would take the outside track and
he crawled under one of the fre;g ht cars to
reach the outside. just as he got under
the car, the freight engine backed up to
clear the track for the incoming train.
He was caught by the wheels and both
legs crushed just below the knees. Two
or three ribs on the left side were broken.
The unfortunate man was taken to John
Abrahamson' and DR.. Blackman ampu-
tated his limbs and dressed his wounds.
On Thursday morning he was doing as
well as he possibly could and unless he
has received internal injuries, there are
reasonable hopes for his recoverable

The "FALLEN ANGELs.n-S women
are very inhuman creatures, we are sorry
to say, especially when they hare their
own sex to deal with. For instance, fe-
male teacher in Patterson, the other day,
made little girl stand on her feet, as
punishment, until she tainted. No man
could have been so cruel to the child. In
fact, nearly all the complaints made in
public schools against teachers for exces-
sive and improper punishment, are enter
ed against women. Is not this very re-
markable. Regarding the sex and we nat
urally do, as gentle and forbearing, as pa
tient and long suffering, when compared
with man, it puzzles us to comprehend
how any can be found to act in manner
so heartless. There must be exceptions, OF
course, to the rule. Women are said, by
the poets, to be angels destitute of wings
but what kind of angels are they who can
sit and gloat over the anguish of little
girl made to 'stand on end, as the French
say, until she faints. Lucifer only knows,
for they must be "fallen angels" indeed.
Each.
