A HUMAN MONSTER.

Joseph O'Neil, who was hung in
Whiteside county, Hi, On Friday, the
18th inst. for the murder of Hiram
Rexford, was one of the most hardened
wretches that ever ended his career on
the galloxs. The particulars Of his
crime read more like the work of saw
age than that of man bred in a civil
ised community. He first stabbed and
beat his victim until woman of the
brothel where the tragedy occurred
dragged him off and pulled him into an
adjoining room. Hearing Rexford groan,
he exclaimed, CANT he dead yet ?"
and, returning, beat him to insensibili-
ty with a board. On being told that
Raxford was dead, he boasted that he
had intended to kin him. efanother
interval Rexford again groaned "Why,
amt .he dead yet ?" asked O'Neil, and.
drawing out knife, he stabbed him all
over the body, inficting upward Of
twenty-five wounds, and then made a
-bungling effort to sever the dying mans
juguiar vein. He, then washed his
hands, and, sitting down in an adjoin
ing room, coolly commenced carrying
on commonplace conversation with
those around him. In the agonies OF
death Rexford writhed ON the bloody
floor, ON hearing which O'Neil re-
marked, at know what will finish him, y
and, picking up an az, he walked out
and chopped Rexford's head of.

LOUISIANA.

Here is an illustration of the condi
ton of things in louisiana A fortnight
ago two judges presented themselves in
an interior parish to hold court. The
Kellogg Judge got in first and took pos
session of the courthouse the other
occupied a large room over store.
Two sheriffs opened the two courts
about the same time. Some of the law
yers went to one and some to the other,
according to political prediction,
while others moved between the two
without anchoring at either. But the
suitors did not care to have their cases
adjudicated by either " court /" under
the circumstances, and business was
slim. The Kellogg judge sent two fel-
lows to jail, and the McEpery Judge did
not do anything. When the "courts "
adjourned and started for the next par
ish, both judges went together, after
the manner of good -humored joint cam
paign cansassers. "I've got the ad-
vantage OF this fellow, said the Kellogg
judge, as they moved off for the next
point in the circuit, "and can stand the
fun the longest, for 1 get . salary and
he don't, nor never will"

WOMEN AND THE CENTENNIAL Gel
EBRATION.
The women of Philndeiphia have
formed an association for the purpose of
introducing the feminine element into
the management and development of the
Centennial Celebration in that city.
Their plan, as we understand it, lis that
the women of Philadelphia shall take
s., ,OOt. 600 worth of stock, and then ap-
peal to their sisters through the cotln-
try to come up to the work with the same
good will and energy. To effect this
they have appointed committees and
subcommittee, who are thoroughly can
vassing the City of Brotherly Love,
through every street and alley, in order
that the " women of wealth and women
who gain their living by their own hand
work may stand together in this under
taking" Women desirons of inaugur-
ating similar associations throughout
the country can receive full information
by addressing Mrs. E. ID. Gillespie,

utive Committee, No. 904 Walnut
