mysterious MurOer-Mnn Lyncheu
MEMPHIS, July 2s.-A mysterious mur-
der was committed on Monroe street about
3 o'clock yesterday morning. the victim
being Frank Moore, well-known citizen.
His wife was awakened by noise resem-
bling two persons struggling, and called to
her husband, who YVES standing near the
bed, to know what was the matter. He
replied, "Some one snapped cap at me-"
and moment Afterwards fell heavily to the
floor. lie never spoke fgain, and died at
5 o'clock.
The impression is that the murder was
committed by burglars, who had been dis
covered in the room by Moore during the
day. Two negroes who had difficulty some
ten days ago were arrested, but beyond the
fact of the difficulty with Moore there is no
evidence to connect them with the murder.
On the night of July IS, man named
Hall, living on the plantation of Thomas
Reid, in Mad son county, Tenn, was taken
out Of his bed by mob of fifteen negroes,
disguised as ku-klux, and hanged on a
tree, they charging him with having
outraged an old negro woman living in the
neighborhood.

Brigham Young Determined to Have
Pence I'm His EamilY.


The elopement of Brigham Young's sew
enteenth wife. reported by telegraph few
days ago, was not without encouragement,
1t seems, from the outocrat of the Mormc n
church, though he did not design or con-
sent that she should go so soon. A Salt
Lake paper gives the following extract
from one Of Brigham Young's recent SER
mons:
| wish my women TO understand that
what l am going to say Is for them as well
as others, and want those who are here
to tell their sisters; yes, all the women in
the community. ! am going TO give you
from this time to the 9th of October next
for reflection, that you may determine
whether you wish to stay with your hus-
bands or not and then | am going to set
every woman at liberty, and say to them,
now 60 your way. And my wives have
got to do one of two things, either round up
their shoulders to endure the affections of
this world, and live their religion-that is.
poiygamy-or they must leave; for
will not have them about me. | will go
into heaven alone, rather than have
scratching and fighting about me. | will
set all at Liberty. What, first wife, too?
Yes, liberate you all. want to go
somewhere or do something to get rid of
the winners. | do not want them to re.
ceiye part of the truth and spurn the rest
out OF doors. Let every man thus treat
his wives; keeping raiment enough to cover
his body. and say to yonr wives take all
that have and be set at liberty; but il
you stay with me you shall comply with
the law of God in every respect, and that,
too, without murmuring or whining. You
must fulfil the law Of God in every respect,
and round up your shoulders to walk up to
the mark without any grunting.

housekeeping in the south Seas.


MAX Adeler in the Saturday Evening Post]
Housekeepers will be surprised to learn
that their customs of sending in to neigh
Dor to borrow a-little butter or sugar or
other articles of diet is quite common
among the savages of the Feeee. When
lady IN Feejee has some friends to dinner
unexpectedly she goes over to the woman
across the way and says. "Yak-yak and his
family have just dropped in to dine, and
haven't thing in the house. How do you
think your hired girl would work up into
stew? Can | borrow her for few days?"
Then she seizes that domestic by the hair
and drags her over, chops her up with
parsley and carrots, and celery tops and
cloves, and let's her simmer over the fire.
Or may be the other woman sends over and
says: "I'm entirely out of meat; can
you lend me your little William Henry for
hash, or your Mary Jane for pie ?' And
over go William Henry and Mary
Jane, and they are stuck with fork and
basted and put on to cook gently, and tho
debt is paid off the next week by the bor-
rover sending back her aunt, already boiled
and suitable for cutting down cold for tea,
or one of her twins corned so as to make q
nice lunch. Sometimes woman in this
manner will work off couple of her
mothers-in-laws, or rich uncle, OF plump
second cousin, and then she will sit at her
window and sniff them as they are cook
ing in the kitchen next door, or watch
one of the company in the dining-room
nibbling at the elbow of her late hired
| girl. The custom seems to US an excel
lent one, particularly when it is applied to
hired girls. We have had girls whom we
would have loaned to a neighbor at any
time under solemn promise that they
should be butchered and boiled as quickly
| as possible.

PERUVIAN guano should be used to
hasten the termination of seed and early
growth of plants. 1t should always be
supplemented by plenty of good barn-yard
manure, if the grain resulting from its ac-
tion in forcing plants in the early stages Of
their growth is to be substantial. 1t
should never be relied upon as manure,
but may profitablv be used as stimulant.

scarcely an instanfs reflection, he excrainr
