a Woman Attempts to s. alp and Esur11
Gut the Eyes OF u Young Girl.

From the Pifsbur9h Commercial.
Mr. and Mrs. Y. are believed to have lived I'D
happily together as man and wife commonly do
in their social position. Some timo ago Mrs. X,
with or without reason, began to fancy that Mr.
x preferred Ida u. to herself. This young
girl hail. for awhile, kept house for the husband
in the temporal absence of tho wife on q visit to
relatives. One day Ida received q message from
Mrs. Y, requesting her to call at her house, as
she GIre. A.) had e letter from the country for
her. In tho afternoon Ida dressed herself in
where she was met at the door by
tho woman, who kissed her, in
quirod particularly about tho state Of
her health, and placed her in the most comfort
Mrs. Y. offered tho girl refreshments. which she
declined, with request Tor g1ass Of water.
This was at once brought by tho amiable hostess
who herself took q drink. The woman then
went into an adjoining room, from which sic
speedily returned with strong cord or rope ar
ranged in the form If moose. Smiling cud
talking pleasantly all .l,e tilue she stepped be-
hind her visitor, and, dropping tho moose over
her head and arnF. With sudden jerk she soon
bound the young girl helpless to tho chair.
said the woman, "you Rha.l see howl will ayengo
myse!y;" whereupon from the table drawer she
took pair Of shears, large lznifo and revolver,
all Of which implements she spread upon tho
faint with terror. The tormentor's next step
was to cut off the girls hair as close as possible
to the skin, leaving only single handful on tue
top Of tho head. for the purpose, as she OK
planned, of facilitating the subsequent opera
tion of Ecalping. The girl screamed and cried
for help as loudly, as she could, but the house
stands in d lonely place. and no dciverer ap-
peared. After cutting OF the hair, Mrs. !.
brought alooking-glas5 that lda might SEQ the
change produced in her appearance, As tho girl
begged her release, saying that she was
freezing, Eho was told, With O plentiful
| application Of nockng epithets, that sho would
| be warm enough before she got away. Mrs. X
then put tho poker in the stovo, nnd while calm-
ly waiting for it to become red hot, she told hol
victim what she intended to do with it. First
will burn your eycs out" etc., etc. And sht
really began to exccuto her threats, but whcr
she was trying to blind the girl, the lattor, By {
| superhumau effort, succeeded in releasing ONT
Of her hands, with which she seized the glowing
poker and for while arrested tho monster II

cal times, WAS dry land in tho thirteenth cen
tury, In that territory we're two lakes. a
mighty mig inundation broke through the neck Of
land between them, and the water rushed quite
to tho gates OF Utrecht. From that period for for
two hundred years the water gained and finally
rot tho ascendency, swallowing up extensive
Forests and tracts Of cultivated land; not only
that, but the submerged ground seems to have
sunk very considerably, as largo vessels, at this
particular epoch, sail freely over whezo we're

1906, the fresh water was wholly displaced by an

THE VALUE OF A LIFE.

We chronicle this morning one of those
unfortunate occurrences, that happen
where they may, do great harm to the in
nocent community where the parties re-
side. 1t is not our purpose to pass judg-
ment upon the unfortunate parties in this
particular case, but only in a general way
endeavor to impress upon the public the
necessity of correcting, through popular
opinion, the sen timent that makes such
occurrences so frequent.
1t is all wrong to cOuntenance the idea
that it is manly or honorable to partici-
pate in personal conflicts. Occasionally
men are forced to resist violence and in
self defense protect themselves. But even
in such cases it is a misfortune, something
to be deplored. killing a man under any
circumstances is a fearful thing to do.
Men go to quarreling about trifling
thing and a life, or perhaps two
lives are lost. Whose life is it
Who suffers ? Think of the widows and
orphan children before whom stands a
dark future, long years of bitter strife with
want, and life it may be of misery and
affiiction. What is the necessity that
brings it about? The surrender to NOR
bid, uncivilized public sentiment that
thinks honor and manliness require one
man to kill another because his word is
disputed, or his honor (?) questioned. Our
lives are not our own to be given up for
such pretexts. Society and those who are
dependent upon us, have claims to induce
US to restrain our tempers and sacrifice
these whimsical and false notions Of hon
or.
AS we said in the beginning, we do not
apply these remarks to the case before US,
but feel called upon by the occurrence to
call public attention to the necessity of
working up more Christian and honor
able public sentiment on this matter. We
feel that it is needed. The times demand
it. When men walk our streets armed
like highway robbers or assassins, waiting
for somebody to question their honor (?) to
plunge the community into new excite
ment sand inf1ict upon innocent mothers
and children suffering and sorrow, it is
proper that Christian, civilized people
should be asked to stop and reason and
ask themselves what their duty is under
the circumstances.

Greeley Explains the Cincinnati O0Dpen-

There seems to be considerable doubt as
to what the Cincinnati Convention is ex-
pected to do, or what its leaders want it to
do. Perhaps our readers can solve the pro-
blem after reading this last explanation
from Horace Greeley, just made public:
Understand, then, once for all. that the
Cincinnati Convention will act in utter in
dependence of all cabals, and intrigues,
and arrangements, and bargains, and fix
ings, whether at Washington or else
where. Until it meets and acts, no one
can know even that nomination will be
made by it, much less whom it will see fit
to nominate. Any suspicion that "slate''
has been made for it at Washington will
insure the breaking of that slate, at all
events,
