nation in the world. The fascinating

their famous celebrity. Every one has

Many persons enormously esteem the
feet of women beautiful in proportion to
their smallness. The beauty of the feet
consists in their symmetry and grace Of
outline, and in their being short or ex-
tremelv small. The feet Of the Venus
de Medicis excite the admiration of ev
erv one who looks at the beautiful statue.
In the outline of their extremity they
approach the elegant form OF the ellIpsls,
and are founded from the proportions OF
nature, that of six to one between the
foot and the body, the standard of meas
urement adopted by the larger part OF
the ulptors of antiquity. The natural
projection of the second toe, which gives
the foot its elliptic form, is arrested in
its development by compression of the
boot or shoe, and thus its beauty is
marred and it's elastic tread impeded.

KEeGren the Nineteenth Victim i'm
Six Years.

From the New Albany Ledger-Standard.
Within the last five or six years nine
teen persons have been hanged within
the limits of this judicial district by
vigilance committees, or, to give them
their proper, shame suggesting name,
mobs. Tully and Brown were given
short shrift and short rope in jackson
county, at BrownstOWn. Three men were
hung on beech tree in the same county.
A negro was hung between CORTLAND
and Freetown, in what is known as the
White Greek Slashes.01 Shortly afterward
two men were hung on the same beech
tree, from the limbs of which three men
before them had strangled to death.
Four men were hanged in the Floyd
county Jail at New Albany. Two men
we're strangled to death ON the Lost River
Bridge, between Orleans and PaoIi, in
Orange county. Three negroes were
hung in Clark county, and now the mob
has glutted its vengeance on Heffren at
Salem, and hung him without mercy,
like dog. All of these outrages were
perpetrated within the limits of five cOun-
ties. Jackson county has hanged eight
men, and, if injustice is not done her,
her citizens hanged the four men (who
were sent from that county to the Floyd
county jail for protection) who suffered
death in the Jail at New Albany. Or
ange county has two to eternally stain

Second--The Legislature should meet but

pledges to this reform be exacted from all
candidates for the Legislature.

a Farmer and his Wife Tortured
by Robbers.

Salina dune 3O) Dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
The following strange story is reported
here to-day, and believed to be true:
Some days ago two men-one whose
name is LarqueZ and the other whose name
is unknOwn-visited the ranch of Jesus
Otilla, at the Arroyo SecO, forty miles from
here, and seized and bound his wife and
with small pinchers tore from their fingers
the tinger-nails to make them disclose the
whereabouts OF large sum of money which
Otilla was supposed to possess. Their eff
forts to make them reveal the secret were
unsuccessful, and in spite of the torture
they remained silent. The robbers then
commenced search for the money, and
found package of gold notes, but, not
knowing what they were, LETT them behind.
The would be robbers are believed to be
members of gang OF thieves and highway
men infesting the San Joaquin and the
lower country, whose deprecations were at
one time quite frequent. OF late nothing
has been heard of them until this occur

John D. Baldwin, editor Of the Worcester
(Mass.) spy, was six years in Congress, and
therefore speaks from experience when he
denounces the idea that "cOst of living in
Washington justifies the salary grab" He
says:
This talk of the cost of living at Wash
ington, used as an argument for extrava-
CANT pay, Is an empty pretence, considering
that congressman do not live there halt
the time, while other officials with smaller
salaries, live there constantly, and find no
trouble in paying all their expenses. The
authors of the late increase Of salaries be-
gan with the intention of making them
$4,000 year. Wa will wait to see what
they will attempt next. Congress has a le-
gal right TO make the salaries of members
$4,000 or 100000 each, or any other
amount; but the trainers OF the Constltu-
ton did not suppose that there ever would
be q Congress capable OF abusing this

The narrow gauge railways have been on
trial for the past TWO years, and COMPARE
sons have been made with roads older in
years and broader in width of track. There
are now in operation in the United States
fifteen of these railways, having an aggre-
gate of 200 miles, and 1,25o additional miles
are now under process of construction by
one hundred and twenty separate organf-
cations. These roads have been planned
and constructed despite the prejudices en-
tertained against them by the advocates of
the wider guage. This steady progress goes
to show that the encouragement thus far
received has at least been sufficient 70 justi-
fly further experiments. The cost Of one OF
these roads over a level country is about
$4,000 mile, including a fair equipment
of rolling stock, while the four-1oOt eight
and a half-inch gauge costs from $35, 900 to
$4,000 per mile. In the West, where the
traffic is comparatively light, the wide six
foot gauge could not compete with the four
foot eight and half inch gauges, and 1t
has now been demonstrated that the narrow
gauge pays better on the amount of money
invested than the four-foot eight and a half
inch gauge, and the actual expense of trans
portation per ton per mile is much less.

A ScamdaIOus Argument i'm Sup

From the Cincinnati Times fRepublicaI

From the Cincinnati Times (Republican).
Senator Carpenter uses this powerful ar
sument in favor of the steal: THE laxity
of life is restrained by the supervision of
wife. and the heart is kept alive to the bet
ter feelings of our natures by the sweet
voices and the tender touch of children.
Members of Congress will have families at
Washington. 1t is better that they should
have their own" As an argument for re-
firing Senator Carpenter from public life
this is sufficient. Men who talk in this way
are not to be trusted very much in any
thing. 1t is q fact, however, that honest
men in large numbers, quite as valuable to
the public service as Carpenter, have COM
fortably supported themselves and families
in the District for years, AMI are now doing
it all the year round, for less than 5000
salary. Congressman can do the same,
without Inconvenience If they avoid the
gaming table and other vileness, living
honestly in their own" homes. Such pleas
as Carpenters are an intolerable offense to
tie public nostrils.
