4 HORRIBLE n

About three weeks since there was
perpetrated near London. Ky, one oil
the most horrible acts Of barbarism
that the combined fiends aud devils oil
Hades could have devised. A woman
tortured q step-child Of about four
years, and 1t seems that her husband
was accessory to tile deed. The par.
ticulars. as we have CLEANED them. are
about as follows: The child had been
tied so that It might starve to death.
How long It had been tied Is not
known, but It Is known that the
child was tied, and undoubtedly
for that purpose. Those who held
the post norton examination found In
the child's intestines an apple seed and
a small crust Of bread only. They
also found the skin crushed as II by a
hard blow. The woman's children,
who witnessed the horrible affair. state
that the child vas 40 nearly starved
that 1t caught a chicken which came
near enough, and retaining only a
handful Of feathers, the child actually
tried to eat them ; ~thereupon the step
mother caught the child In her arms
and ended Its life by striking Its head
against the jambs Of the fireplace.
Are history's pages blackened by a
more horrible crime than that commit

There Il still more evidence, says the
Sacramento Union Of Thursday, against
Charles Mortimer, who Is accused Of

MOST POSITIVE Of ALL.

The most positive OF all the proof
against Charles Mortimer, who Il under
arrest for the killing OF Mrs. Gibson,
says the Sacramento Union Of yester-
day, has been furnished by science. It
will be recollected TINT the officers
found on Mortimer's person, when he
was arrested. a bottle Of ~strychnine,
and In the room where the body Of the
murdered woman lay, q glass two
thirds full Of beer, In the bottom Of
which appeared q peculiar sediment.
1t was suspected that this sediment
might be strychnine. and the contents
OF the glass were turned over to DR..
Rudolph for analysis. That gentleman
performed the task ~intrusted to him,
and we learn that rs q result he found
sufficient Of the poison to have killed
two or three persons! The theory Of
the murder, based upon this evidence,
10 that the murderer put the %strychnine
In the beer, hoping that 1t would
quickly dispose of his victim. and that
Il would be generally supposed that
she persisted BY suicide. Doubtless the
bitterness Of the beverage aroused her
suspicious and caused her to refuse to
drink more than a mouthful or two.
Falling In this attempt, the murderer
took moro violent measures, and sue
ceeded In his yillainous purpose.

DIDN'T THINK IT WAS LOADED.

From the New Albany Ledger, Sept. l3l
TO this latter class belongs Enoch
jenkins, q young man who resides
about eleven miles from this city, near
Bennettsville. Enoch had a little
brother, John L. Jenkins, about five
years Of age, the idol OF his fathers
family, and none loved him more than
Enoch. Yesterday this bright little
fellow was romping round the sitting
room In his fathers house, happy him
self. and by his merry prattle making
the rest Of the family also happy.
Just then his brother Enoch entered
the room with an old blunderbu,s he
was going to clean up, and out of reck:
less sport pointed the ugly weapon az
little Johnny's head, drawing a bead
upon his temple, the gun went OF. aud
when the smoke cleared away, alas
Johnny's brains were seen scattered
about the floor, aud bespattered OIL the
walls, and his body stretched out In
death. Such a scene rs followed can
be more easily imagined than de-
scrlbed. No one regrets the fatally
rash act, and Its melancholy result,
more than the author Of this terrible
calamity. but regrets Of a lifetime will
not atoue for his indlscreet, foolish and
deatli-dealing act.

quest OF the sick man, the father, as

OF q daughter, who had been dead
seven years, were exhumed. and the
liver and heart found to be In a perfect
state Of preservation. These were
burnt In the fire and the ashes put
back In the grave. This was done In
accordance with the old superstition
that the bodies OF those who have died
OF consumption draw nourlshment
from the living, and that In order to
put an end to the vampire process, the
heart aud liver Of the dead must be de-
stroyed.

LACK OF ENTHUSIASM.

At the Gold Hill First Ward Grant
and Wilson Club meeting las: evening.
President J.. d. Mills made a very
good speech upon the political sisua-
tlon, ret we could not hardly coincide
with all the points Of his argument.
BE spoke OF the Democracy as being
demoralized ; as having degenerated
into a party Without a name or princi-
pie ; q sort Of aimless, disorganized
political arrangement, and powerless
a. compared with the great Republi-
can party, the party Of the nation and
of progress. Their ancient and once
supremely powerful organization GER
tainly Is considerably demorallzed.
and their base Of operations very much
changed, yet In another shape they are
still formidable. They were compar-
lively d~emoralized two years ago, yet
sufficiently organized and powerful to
control the State election, and secure
the principal offices. At this time
they have formed a coalition with nu.
merous dlsaffscted Republicans
Greeleyites-and although having no
specified name, they are a party Of
power. Mr.. Mills also moderated
them In saying that they lacked enthu-
slasm /; that they have put up a
ticket In tho field without seeming
to IN much whether It will win or
not ; that they are not working with
the lively interest they possessed In
times past.
1t Is true that this Demo-G reeley
party DO not appear very enthusiastic
just now, yet the same may be said OF
the Republican party. We are not
working with the high degree Of en-
thu,issm that we were four years ago.
Where arc the public speakings. the
torchlight professions, the echoing
cannon, the patriotic music, and the
waving banners Of those exciting
times? Are we not contending for
the same glorious cause and the same
gallant leaderp Where Il our enthu-
siasm? Do not let Us deceive ourselves
into the idea that our opponents are
not. we'll organized aud quietly, effec-
lively working. "Still waters run
deep" They have placed a strong
State and County ticket Ia the field
and, although showing no enthusiasm,
they know we'll what they are about.
They will vote individually, collec.
lively, and faithfully for their candl-
dates, and get all the help they can
from the Republican ranks. Let us
not underestimate our opponents, or
they may give II as effective an eye
opener as they did two years ago.
