A NEW YORK exchange says two new candi-
dates for the gallows have made their bow to
the public The precious pair are boy and a
girl, respectively ten and twelve years Of age
They stole $500 from their parents, went to
Utica, took rooms at fashionable hotel, invest.
ed in clothing and jewelry, and were preparing
to start for New York when, enter angry pa
rents and put an end to that scene When
next heard from these precocious juveniles had
forced an entrance into hardware store stol
en- some revolvers, jack-knives and other traps,
attempted to do some horse-stealing, bad beef
caught and sent home. They were bent on
having some kind of a spice, however, so they
went into an unoccupied house, built fire in
a stove without pipe, stuck their stolen
knives In the floor about them and displayed
the revolvers to the best advantage; then wrap
ped themselves in buffalo robe and lay down
for rest from their exba1sting labors. When
taken before the judge they were found guilty
of retty larceny, and are now sojourning for
the winter at the city's expense.

IHE Truth ABOUT THE SOUTH CAROLINA
KU-KLux.-A Washington dispatch says that
Attorney General Alderman; who is Just from
Yorkville, S. c., reports that the accounts Of
the stampede of citizens from the counties in
which the hateds corpus is suspended have been
greatly exaggerated, and that instead of five
hundred persons having left York county since
the Presidents proclamation of the 18th.
probably less than one-half that number have
gone. Many of the absentees took their de.
parture before either proclamation was issued
or any arrests by the aid of the military power
were attempted, fleeing nom mere sense of
their own guilt and lack of courage to meet
the consequences of their actions. The effect
OF the Presidents proclamation, followed as
they have been by the prompt and vigorous
movements of both military and civil officers,
has been to completely put an end to the Ku-
klux reign of terror in the disturbed districts
and restore safety to life and property. La York
and Spartanburg counties about one hundred
arrests have been made up to Friday night, the
prisoners being in the custody of the civil au-
thorities. One entire khan surrendered yolun-
tarily, alleging that they had bden compelled
to take up the organization for self-protection,
Most of those who are now in custody are poor
whites who abuse their leaders socndly for
having led them into trouble and then desert.
ing them in the face of arrest and punishment.
The evidence will be produced on the trials
soon to begin at Columbia will be interesting
and also conclusive of the guilt of many of the
indicted parties Mr.. Alderman, during his
stay in South Carolina, received assurances
from many prominent citizens opposed to the
administration, of their great satisfaction at
the work which it is prosecuting in that State.

DEAD LANGUAGEs.-Colonel Forney, in his
anecdotes of public men, gives the following
which though not quite so applicable at the
present time, is worthy of notice:
John Randolph had just closed one of his
peculiar speeches of the eccentric Virginian.
which he interlarded with copious quotations
with Latin and Greek. when George Kremer,
who represented a Dutch Pennsylvania dis
trict, rose, and, in strain of well-acted lndig-
nation, poured forth torrent of Pennsylvania
German upon the head of the amazed and
startled Randolph. His violent gesticulations
his loud and bosterous tones, his defiant man.
ner, were not more annoying to the imperious
Southerner than the fact that he could not un-
derstaud word that was spoken. And when
honest George took his seat covered with per-
SEPARATION, Randolph rose and begged the hon.
orable gentleman from Pennsylvania to en-
lighter the House and the country by trans
lating what he had just uttered. Kremer re-
torted as follows: Il have only to say in reply
to my friend from Virginia that when he
translates the dead languages, which he is
constantly using for the benefit of us country
members, into something like English, will
be equally liberal in translating my living
Pennsylvania Dutch into something that the
House can understand" The laugh was COM
pietely against Randolph

The Gypsy parliament, which meets once
every seven years, and consists OF delegates
from all the countries of Europe, is expected
to assemble soon near Canstatt, in Germany.
The king of this nomadic race is one Joseph
Reinhard, who has reached the venerable age
of ninety-eigbt years. He has had seven wives
and is the father of forty five children. Our
American idea OF the whole Gpsey tribe is
rather unfavorable. They are regarded ger er.

few in numbers, and without organization or

THEY do have queer ways in New York.
In the Rosenzweig case two jurors would no!

their families three days, and they could not

A Bosros exchange goes into frenzy

BOSTON exchange goes into a frenzy
thus:-
Over-zeal has nearly always maddening eff
fects. A sample of it was exhibited by the
in the matter OF charge made against two
members of a subordinate lodge, who were con-
vcted of crushing an apple to pulp between
their hands, expressing the juice and drinking
the same, the superior body gravely oyerhauled
the testimony, and confirmed the condenna-
ton pronounced upon it by the inferior BODY.
Could anything be more absurd, or fatal to the
status of the Order than such ridiculous ac-
ton? III ..-., -.
Never mind; in the cases of those who are most
indignant about such over zeal, they can sus-
tain more tangible charges in that line than
expressing and drinking sweet cider. Don't
get mad about it.

TUE COsT OF RIGGING.--A correspondent
of New York paper says II saw in your pa
per an answer to the conundrum,", "Why is a
ship called she?' pamely, because the rigging
costs more than the hull" He adds: heard
practical illustration of this the other day.
A lady was talking with the head-dressmaker
at Stewards, when the dressmaker said: "You
can have velvet train to your dress if you
choose" 'NO." was the reply; Il think
eight hundred dollars will do for dress, with
out the extra expense OF velvet train
Another lady was waiting to give directions to
Arnold & Constable's dressmaker; there was
large, coarse woman, her hands loaded down
with diamond rings, ahead of her, giving her
directions. She said: II want all the lace on
my dress you can get on. 1 want real lace; I
do not limit you in price; leave you to select
It. The rigging" of such women is worth
more than the women themselves.

IsSosfBUsr1BLE BUILDINGS .-In view of i'm
mense coufagrations of Chicago and other cit
les, the New York Post dwells upon the neces-
sity OF some incombustble material for the
mere extensive and valuable warehouses 1t
adds:-
1t has been suggested that buildings made of
concrete possess the desired qualities. The ar
tificial stone known as concrete is generally
made of six parts of small gravel, broken bricks,
or fiints, one part of sand and one part of &C.
ment. The first two ingredients are TO De
found everywhere. The cement, when made
artificially, consists OF from twenty 10 twenty
five per cent. OF silica, with eighty 10 seventy
five per cent. of lime or of chalk, pure cray anu
fine sand. The United Statesis the only coun-
try where nature has compounded the mateti-
ais herself, furnishing the cement ready lor
use. 1t is found In large quantities IN New
York, Massachusetts,, Connecticut, hehtucky'
Virginia and Ohio.
The buildings proposed are to be of concrete
throughout The floors are to be an artinclal
| stone made of cement and SAND. iron IS 10 pe
used alone for supporting the floors ana roo''
| and for bracing the building.
Concrete buildings already have nad tneir
| capabilities fully tested by use. The public
| buildings at Cberbourg, Marseilles, Iouion,
| Woolwicb. Dover, Attorney and Eddystone,
| together with several on our own coast, are
| built of concrete. 1t is frequently used IN Eng
/
| of The Metropolitan Railway Company at West
Brompton, the College of Surgeons, and Well.
| ington Barracks, and many houses in Pail
Mall, Lncoln's Inn Fields, ST. James Park
| and elsewhere in London, are built OF it. In
| Spain and in the south of France it is used in
| the construction of common houses In Swe-
| den and North Germany it is largely used for
| building purposes, the dwelling houses built o.
| it having double walls, which protect the in
| mates from vermin and produce a more equa
| BILE inside temperature.
Many advantages are claimed for concrett

in one room not effectng the contents of th
next. A concrete house. in short, is bnildn
OF tire. proof compartments, which is said to b
| fully equal in every othor respect to building
made of ordinary materials.
The time must come when the kind of build
