POINTING A MORAL.


In the first flush of unreasoning tenderness
with which We look back upon the faults and
follies of the man whose killing is now the
sensation of two hemispheres, let us not for
get one great lesson which is taught us by the
tragedy. The quarrel, bred in the parlors OF a
vulgar strumpet, was nursed in the courts and
inflamed by the system of legal chicanery and
oppression which Fisk and his associates had
been four years in bringing to perfection,
and which the Legislature ia to-day
asked to deal with according to its deserts.
One of the worst Of the long list of
crimes which made the Erie Ring in
famous was the decentralization of justice.
They taught the world that before their
money, their eflrOntery, and their ingc-
nuity, courts were powerless and law was
q mOckery Almost every step In their career
was upon broken statute. They subsidized
Judges of the Supreme Court to assist them in
the illegal over-issuc of stock by which they
first got a standing in the market They used
the writ of injunction in so scandalous a man
ner in protecting this Over-ssue that men be.
gan TO believe it would be better for tn,
public if ex parte proceedings in equity wer'
abolished altogether When the officers o
the railway company were enjoined from
issuing the disputed certificates, Mr.. Fisk stol
them, and threw them on the market. Whei
attachments issued for this gross contempt

THE DESTITUTION IN THE FAR
WEST.

The Abilene (Kan.) Chronicle has been
informed by Mr.. Patrick Hand, who has
Just returned from a trip up the Solomon
Valley to the Colorado and Nebraska line,
that the new settlers have severely suf-
fered from the cold and storms. Mr.. Hand
says that the fatal immigration into the Sol
ONION valley is unprecedented. Many fami-
lies arrived just before the late storm, and
the suffering among them is terrible. Hav-
ING no houses. they are compelled to live
in their knowing wagons" and the suffer
ing among the women and children partic-
ularly is very severe. To add to the hard
ship of the situation, the people are almost
entirely destitute Of food, many Of them
having scarcely tasted mouthful of bread
since reaching the valley. They are trying
to subsist mainly upon such game as they
may be able to secure. This situation ofaffairs
exists from Mitchell county, nOrthward
and Notwithstanding both branches of the
river.

FRENCH AVERSION TO GERMANY

The census lately ordered by the authori-
ties in Lorraine gave the French inhabitants
a fresh opportunity Of showing their ami
mostly toward the German government.
Only two persons in the whole of the prov
ince volunteered to act as census clerks, and
the people seemed to be under the impress
sion that the inscription of their names on
the census lists signi6ed that they were
registered as Prussians aud would be COM
PEELED to accept the Lutheran religion sand
become Free Masons." One of the agents,
on coming to q peasant with his list, was
received with the following words: "What
do you want Of me? Are We
not already Prussians, and is
it necessary that this should
appear on paper? l won't answer any Of
your questions" A second peasant ex-
claimed: "Are you not ashamed Of your
self, as a Frenchman, 10 go about with a
Prussian list in order 10 give us up to
Prussia ?" And a third, on being asked the
place of his birth, said he was born at
GTavelotte, 'where the Prussians were veil
tllrashed.n The census clerk mex. went to
a devOut woman of the village. On seeing
him, she rose from her chair in great ex-
citement, saying, "What do You want? Is
it true then, that they wish to rob US of our
faith and sell us to the Free Masons? For
Gods sake don't put lay name on that pa
perr ''NO, mother" added the daughter,
''you viii not give your name. They want
to betray US; we will not become Lutherans,
or Free Masons either"

A ROMANTIC WEDDING.
singular matrimOniaI Adventure.

From the Kansas City (AIo.} Times, Dec. %.
On Saturday evening last Justice Suttons
Office was the scene OF the termination Of a
most romantic affair. A young and very
pretty girl named Miss Alameda Cosgrove,
residing at San Diego, last summer re-
sponded to an advertisement in the HdUeTlu
Magazine for correspondents with view
to matrimOny. The new correspondent of
the young lady resided at Wathena, Kansas,
and represented himself to be a merchant,
young, wealthy, honest and in want of a
wife. A long and loving correspond
ence ensued between Jerome Markham and
Miss COSgroVe. Photographs were ex-
changed, and Miss Cosgrove was delighted
to find her unseen lover a gOod-loOking
youth. Finally she consented to become
Mrs. Markham, and for economy's sake con-
sented to come to Wathena to be married.
Being an orphan and without restraint, she
took the Central Pacific railroad about two
weeks ago and started for Kansas. All
went well until she got on the Denver Pa
cific. After leaving Cheyenne the train
struck drift ten feet high and three hundred
yards in length, and became hopelessly
stuck fast.
While snow-bound near Crow Greek, Miss
SOoSAOhC dlIA dCJcl L1S dILtuJlOu OI MI.
Julius Emmet, a commission agent Of this
city, who, perceiving the young lady seated
alone, and evidently unprovided for such
an emergency, very gallantly rendered such
assistance as was in his power 10 give, which
was valise full of cold food and two buf-
falo robes. The young couple were soon
on friendly, social terms. Miss CosgsoVe
very naively reeited her wild adventures,
and was rewarded by Emmet informing
herthat he was single, etc. By the time the
Kansas Pacific train had crossed the Plains
and was winding its way over the fertile
prairies of Kansas, the young folks were
tirm friends. They parted with regret at
Wathena, when the young lady turned to
meet for the first time him she was to call
her husband. She had only moment TO
wait before rough-lOOking Individual, at
least forty years of age, made himself
known as her correspondent and expectant
husband. Miss COsgrove, finding that she
had been deceived, turned without word
and entered the car and came to Kansas
City. The following brief item in last Sum
days Times gives the sequel:
MARRIED-Last evening at the office of
Justice Sutton, ON Fifth street, Miss A.

DANCING.
It's Origin-What the Early Fathers

Countries.

It's Origin-what the Early Fathers
Thought Of tt-Dancez OF Different
Countries.
There is legend In SaxOny that in the
tenth year Of the reign of the Emperor
HOnorius, some young people, instigated
no doubt by the devil, danced near a church
on Christmas eve, whereupOn the Holy
Father, who was celebrating divine service,
cried to Heaven, asking that they might be
compelled to dance for a year-cOntinuOusly,
which prayer was granted. At the end of
the year the Bishop absOlved them, but
three Of the girls dropped dead before the
altar.
At one time, the Romans had Nuptial
Dance which was considered Of so pernic-
ious a character that for teaching it instruc-
tors were DaniShed. Perhaps the dance was
something like the atHabanetO" which is a
favorite with many CUbans and Spaniards
Its home is in an elegant ballroom in
building located behind the Theatre Tacan
in Havana. 1t is something that, seen once
no decent person ever wants to witness its
performance a second time. Usually, the
gentlemen attend in the ordinary ball cos
tune, and without masks, but the ladies
come most carefully disguised. They ar
a q
they leave the ball room to follow them
and to attempt 10 unrsvel their incOgnitos
would incur death, and il is said that sever
u adventurous foreign, ''peeping Toms
have lost their lives or been severely wound
ed for making the attempt, The ladies'
have their entire faces masked while folds
Of black Grape fall over neck anu bust, while
the arms are shrOuded in the same manner.

Governor Zone of the late Governors Of the
city was suspected Of being disciple Of the
''HabauetO'') or may be his WasheTwOman,
but it Is al the same to john" as the
Chinaman would say. The movements Of
the dances are lasciviOus to an extreme, for
its gyratiOnsAre ten times worse than the
'Can-can." The ''Zamaquecka" of the PERU
vians and Chilians is something after the
style CT the "Habaneto,,' but is toned down
more. Thirty years ago it was the national
dance of those countries, but Of late years
it has fallen into disuse, and is now the
dance of the chellOs or poems, the lower
strata of the South American population.
The dances Of polite European society are
the favOrites with fashiOnables Of South
America.
''La Manola," so graphically described by
Lever, IS a IaVOfibe YET VI Juo moAlCaiio.
Those who followed the teaching Of dancing
had pretty hard time of it in earlier days,
for the holy fathers set their faces resOl-
utely against the art, St. ChrysoStom opin-
ioniziing that ssfeet were made to walk
modestly, and not to leap impudently like
camels." The Church Of the VaudOis in
weighed against the art, saying that ''dancing
is the pomp Of the devil; the music are the
bells, and the iddles the ministers Of the
devil"
