AN UNoFFENDING NEGRO TORTURED
AND MURDERED BY WHITE MEN.-A
party consisting of halfa-dozen, more
or less, visited camp of workmen on
the railroad Texas Pacific, 20 miles
north of Jefferson, a few days ago, in
state Of intoxication, headed by Mr..
Porter, the leader, commenced an attack
upon negro, who, the Outstanding
white men said to Mr.. Porter, was a
peaceable unofending man. The negro
pushed Mr.. Porter off and kept out Of
his way. At this Porter took offense,
but, not considering himself sufficiently
strong, went back home, recruiting his
party, and returned. Porter assumed to
be sheriff, and the others of the party,
subordinates, took the negro prisoner,
bound him fast, opened his eyes and spit
in them tobacco juice. confined him fast
to one of the horses, started off at fast
gait, compelling him to keep up or drag;
ordered the negro to bow humble to eve
ry white man they meet on the road,
and ON the streets of town through
which they passed en- route. Proceeding
on their way to spot sufficiently retired
for their diabolical purposes, they con-
fined the colored man between two small
trees, so placing him that he could only
move his head. Thus located they de-
liberately proceeded to make cross ON
his forehead by incision with knife,
and then scalped their victim. After
thus inhicting ON him all the torture of
which they were capable, they retired a
few PAGES and finished their barbarous
work by shooting several loads of am
munition into his exposed and defence
less body. After thus cruelty accom-.
plishing their work, they threw the life
less body into stream of water conve.
nient to the scene Of action. The perpe-
traitors had not, at last accounts been ar
rested.-( Te1) Journal.

Filters and Entering.

In every wellappointed kitchen, there
are tin or porcelain tunnels. For filter
ing watery fluids, it is only necessary to
insert, in the choke of the funnel, "
shaped piece of fine sponge All such
liquids, on being put into the fnnnel,
will pass through the sponge and become
quite clear. When this effect ceases,
the sponge must be removed and we'll
cleansed. Vinus fluids are best cleared
by filtering through cone of white
blotting paper, shaped by folding a
square piece-of the paper from corner
to corner, then folding the triangle into
half its size, and opening the folds; it
will fit any funnel which will act as a
much needed support to the paper.
Wines, ETC., poured into this, will run
through perfectly bright. In some cases
where the wine is only a little thick
from lees, cork or other mechanically
suspended substance, it can be made
quite clear by filtering through a wad
of white cotton put in the choke of the
funnel; and when this answers, it is
much quicker than the paper filter. For
jelly and oil, wool alone is the proper
medium for filtering. The felted wool
jelly.bag is pretty well known as the
best means of clearing calves foot jelly,
and it also answers for olive and other
oil. These bags are, however, too ex-
pens!ve to be generally used hence they
are rarely seen in kitchens. A good
substitute for the wool bag is cullen
der, on the inside of which new fan
mel lining should be fitted; made of
double stuff. A wad of white knitting
wool, put in the choke of funnel, will
do to filter any small portion of such
fluids. Scientific american.

How TO MAKE A MUSTARD PLASTER
How many people are there who real
ly know how to make mustard plaster?
Not one in hundred, at the most, per-
haps, and yet mustard plasters are used
in every family, and physicians pre-
scribe their application, never telling
anybody how to make them, for the sim
pie reason that doctors themselves do
not know as rule. The ordinary way
is to mix the mustard with water, tenn
pering it with little -four, but such a
plaster as that makes is simply abomi-
nable. Before it has half done its work
it begins to blister the patient. and leaves
him finally with painful, fayed spot,
after having produced far less effect in
a beneficial way than was intended. Now
mustard plaster should never make a
blister at all. IL blister is wanted.
there are other plasters far better than
mustard for the purpose. When you
make mustard plaster, then use no wa
ter whatever, but mix the mustard with
