A Fiend in Human Shape.

age and brutal affair which occurred
at Medoc, a small town in Jasper
county Missouri, from a correspon-
dent Of the Kansas City Jonrnal.
sFor some months past, A. D.
Taylor has been almost daily in the
habit of whipping and otherwise
abusing his wife. His abuse has
been growing more and more ag
gravated and severe, until Friday
night last, when, it seems, he turned
fiend. and began to abuse her in
most brutal and outrageous man
ner-frst, by kicking and cutting,
then he struck her to the floor and
stamped her with his heels.
After punishing her in this way
until he was tired, he took butcher
knife and cut her hair short. Still
growing more and more devlish, he
broke grioiron to shivers over her
head. Then, with a knife, he began
to torture her by hacking her in the
face and on the breast, until he had
literally cut her breast and face into
slices, and to make the torture more
severe, stabbed her in different parts
of the body with an old pair of scis-
sors.
Several of the citizens, hearing
the cries of the woman were attrac-
ted to the place. On finding that
they had discovered what he had
been doing, and fearing that they
would take measures to punish him,
he fed to the woods near by, where
he kept himself concealed until Sun
day morning, when he called at Mr..
Robert Wallace's farm house, and
asked for some breakfast. Mr..
Wallace, having heard what had oc-
Cured on Fric ay night. and know
Ing that there was a writ in the
hands of the constable for his ar,
rest, took it upon himself TO arrest
him, took him to town and de e'ivered
him into the hands Of the constable.
The citizens, in the meantime
hearing of the outrage, and of the
critical condition of his wife, be-
came more and more enraged, and
by evening began to show signs Of
violence.
About half past nine the corsta
BILE decided to move the prisonel
for safe keeping.
After having gone about mile
with the prisoner, posse of about
thirty armed men came up, tool
Taylor and hanged him to tree
where he remained until this fore
noon. He was then taken dowr
and brought to town. When 1 saw
his body, it was lying in mis- owl
office.
His wife, all cut and bruised from
head to foot, was still alive on Mon
day. It is probable that she will
not recover.
A. D. Taylor was man of edu
cation, was by profession physi
clan, and is said to have been very
successful practitioner. He wa
about forty years of age. A fey
years since he quit his profession
and went to preaching, in which ca
paclty he was very successful, Delns
fine speaker. During his minis
terial labors he was connected will
the Christian church.
| When the war broke out, he re
ceived an appointment as surgeo
in the Union army, which position
he held until the war closed. Sine
that time he has been practicing hi
profession.
| On inqniring what could have in
duced him to abuse his wife in sue
a horrible manner, I was told tha
there was nothing the matter bu
his own vicious nature.

A palpable error occurred in the
postal estimates, but this l have cor
rected in the statement read. The
great mass of these estimates are to
carry into effect existing laws, and
can only be reduced by change of
the law. All the appropriations for
public works, and some OF the ap-
preparations for other heads Of ex-
penditure, amounting in the aggre
gate to more than fifty million dol
lars, depend upon the annual appro-
priation bills, ann nah be increased
Or diminished in these bills. The
amount estimated by the Secretary
of the Treasury in his annual report
for the service Of the next fiscal
year is 1921, 100000, made up as
follows:
Pensions and Indians SO 600 600
War Department $4,000, 600
Navy Department 18 600 600
Interest on the public debt 1877, 600 600
Total sa9l 900 90
The difference between the two
estimates is readily explained, and
consists mainly of his reduction of
estimates for pnblic works; but the
actual appropriation will depend
upon the economy or liberality of
Congress. 1 will be gratifed if the
appropriations are kept within the
estimates of the Sec'y. of the Treas
ury.
UNCERTAINTY IN ESTIMATES.
Now, in these estimates there are
elements of uncertainty growing out
of other causes than the action of
Congress land some of these demand
an immediate legislative remedy.
Under the law and the practice of
the Departments unexpended balan-
ces of appropriation for one year
are carried over to the credit of that
fund in the next year. Thus we may
appropriate a specific sum for the
pay of transportation in the Army
enough in the judgment of Congress
for that purpose, yet much larger
sum may be expended by adding to
the new appropriation the balances
Of former appropriations. 1t is at
this. moment diffisult to estimate
what balance of unexpected appro-
priations will remain on the 1st of
July next, and it was much more
difficult to estimate such balance in
October last. The actual balance
of unexpended appropriations on
the lst of July last was S102. $780,
159 81, of which $41,54S,477 80
were for the War Department, and
$26, ,532, ,453 "a for the Interior De
partment, or more th,n one full
years appropriations. for each OF
these Departments. Indeed their
balances were nearly as large as
the whole appropriations for the
present fiscal year, thus giving the
Departments two years. supply for
one. refer Senators for further in

SWEET SIXTEEN,

That 'slove levels all ranks"would
seem to be as true as holy writ, at
all events in some instances, and
in none more SO than in a case the
results of which have considerably
agitated for weeks past certain cir
cles in the pleasant town of Orange,
N. j. About two years ago. in the
employ of Elijah D. Burnet, highly
respectable merchant, was a young
man of rather pleasing exterior and
address named William Culbert.
His occupation was that of coach
man. A daughter of his employer,
Miss Aannie V. Burnet, then out in
her fourteenth or fifteenth year. but
large and womanly for her age, e,took
decided liking to the good-lookin
coachman, which perchance, after
some time, ripened iuto genuine
affection. William was of course
delighted with the state Of affairs,
though considerable time elapsed
before he could realize the exact
state OF the damseI's feelings toward
him. This discovered, on the prin-
ciple, doubtless, that love begets
love, full reciprocity of the tender
feeling followed.
In the meanwhile the attachment
was jealously guarded by the lovers,
so that the parents of the girl ne. er
dreamed of the matter Some busi-
ness reverses necessitated the par
tial breaking up of Mr.. Burnet's
domestic es ablishment, and young
Culbert left,as his employer thought
for parts unknown. By means 0nl. !
known to lovers under similar cir
cumstances, Miss Burnet and
young Culbert managed to
keep up their intimacy and to
meet occasionally. Finally, the
young lady found it difficult to con
ceal the affair and between anxiety
on the one hand and true love or
the other, she managed to worE
herself into a severe illness. Aftel
some time she impaired the secret
to her physician, who in turn in
formed her parents, who, as nigh
be expected, tried to disabuse the
girl of her notion, but to no purpose

Mr.. SHERMAN said:


of June, 1871
Mr.. SHERMAN said
Mr.. PRESIDENT: This appropria-
ton bill is the first of series that
will bring before US every branch of
the expenditures of the national
Government. 1t may be well be-
fore we enter into their details to
take general view of our expendi-
lures and of such measures of taxa
ton as will be necessary to raise
the vast sums about to be appropri
ated. Taxes and appropriations
are inseperably associated. They
are the pleasing and painful sides
of financial legislation. If to ap
propriate money was the 'end all
and be alp of this and kindred bills
it would be the most gratifying en-
ployment in the world. We could
indulge in the luxuries of art and
tancies of craftsmanship; we could
erect temples for custom houses
and cover the ocean with our subsi-
died steamers we could increase
our salaries and buy all the islands
adjacent to our continent. But un-
happily we can only appropriate
what we first collect by taxation,
and taxation is a painful process at
best, in its natnre unequai, and gen
orally inf1icting more injury to the
individual than it confers benefit
upon the people. Every appropria
ton bill is tax bill, and every Item
added is draft upon the earnings
and labor of our citizens, to which
is superadded the cost of collection
If the money is borrowed, then in
terest is added, and interest is as
consuming to the resources of a IA
ton as it is to an individual. i
never rests or sleeps.
i ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS.

appropriation bills are founded arr
