THE NEW ORLEANS HOMICIDE.

And SO Warmoth has stabbed to his
death Daniel c. Byerly, the proprietor
and manager of the New Orleans Bulletin.
Byerly dead and Warmoth alive seems to
be jumbliLg of circumstances. Byerly
was useful man in his way, will be loss
to New Orleans, but he was little too i'm
pulaive. Murder or the killing Of another,
whether in self defence or with malice
aforethought, Is sufficiently appalling under
all circumstances, but we can look with
little more complacency on such a tragedy
when the victim is one that the world can
well afford to lose. When, however, the
circumstances are changed, when the
slayer IS pest TO the community, when
there is probability that he may again be
turned loose on society because, as he
claims, he acted only IN self defense, then
do not mean to say that the taking of
human life is ever justitlable, save in those
extreme cases where it becomes necessary
for the protection of ones own life, but
we do say that he who kills notorious
aw-brcaker, fermentor of disturbances, q
plotter of evil is entitled to more consider
alton than he who wllfully and Deliberate
ly murders useful and respectable mem

lection of the law as is that of him who

human and divine and upon conviction.

already agreed to fight q duel with Mr.
Jewell, one of the editors OF the Bulletin,
and 1t was arranged that they should meet
somewhere in Alabama, yesterday, and
have the encounter. IL such n meeting
had taken place, it would, probably, have
been the end of one of the combatants, per-
haps OF Warmoth. As by the laws of the
land to fight duel where death ensues, is
murder, the impulslve Byerly has prevented
either Jewell and Warmoth from being a
murderer, and has only placed the latter in
'limbo" for short time, TO come forth
with verdict of justlfable homicide
amid the applause of mis- friends, if any he
has--and poor Byerly has met his death

lie attention throughout the whole country,
and especially the consideration and pa

in the United States, is the improved
Railroad Scale An examination shows at
once its practical workings and the facility
with which pound or hundred tons may
be weighed This is a prominent feature
which must commend this particular scale
to every railroad. Its strength, accuracy,
capabilty, and facility of operation, has
never yet been surpassed. The fact alone
that itmay be extended to one hvndred and

will give precedence over any invention

ton would extend this article beyond the

whether any SUPERIOR or more reliable
piece of mechanism has been presented to

LETTERS ON CURRENT TOPICS
Reduction of state Expenses.

out of existence, materially decreasing the
expenses of the state. 1t seems as if

to share the same fate at the hands of the
legislature ut the extra session. refer TO

considerable drain upon the revenues of

pressly limited the amount to be expended

itself that ii appears by the state auditors

advantage the state has received from this

The success of almost every enterprise
depends upon the degree of assiduity with
which tits followed by the party engaged
in it. Many things seemingly impossible
have been overcome by persons who have
bent their whole energies of mind upon the
accomplishment of their object. From OBJ
servance we can see genius and high in
tellectual attachments outstripped by mod
crate talent, when the latter brings it's full
powers of mind to the work. Some per-
sons who have had a fair course to the
gaining of a particular point have broken
down, while other men with not even az
good an opportunity would have been
successful ; thus showing-t that success may
be obtained by man who can bend &C
casions and conditions to his will, notwith-
standing the force of circumstances. As to
luck, there is less of success due to chance
than is commonly supposed. There is no
doubt that many escape the consequences
OF mis-. steps as If by miracle, but this is
not the rule of life success is obedient to a
la,O that can be traced throughout the ,0hole
of ones career. So that, whether in the
school-room or in the every day business
of life, in labor physical or labor mental,
in invention OF execution, in theory or in
practice, it is not he who has the strongest
powers, but he who the most persistently
brings those powers into use, that will be-
come master of the secret of being success
full.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF EYEs.-No branch
of science has been mere thoroughly mas

must be essentially the same in all eyes, but
they differ remarkably according to the
needs of the animals. Birds of lofty flight,
seeking providers Of the .feathered race,
have telescopic visions, and thus they are
enabled to look down and discover their
unsuspecting victims. AS they approach
noiselessly from above, the axis Of vision

Lieutenant Henry B. Holt, of Augusta,
was wounded in the head at the battle of
Chickamauga. It healed, but he subse-
quently became subject to epilectic con-
wilson's which finally grew insupportable,
and he concluded to have an operation
performed. The Chronicle says that DR..
DeSaussure Ford warned him that tre-
panning was very dangerous operation.
Lieutenant Holt replied that he wished it
performed neyertheless,, as he would rather
die than suffer any longer as he had
been doing. On last Wednesday DR..
Ford performed the operation, which was
commenced at half-past twelve and con-
cluded at half-past one o'clock. A piece
of the skull, one inch in diameter,
was taken out just above the old
wound, an instrument called the
trephine being used in the opera
ton. The lower side of this piece
formed the top and ragged edge of the
fractured bone. Underneath this piece,
and adhering to it, was a spiculum of
bone, which pressed upon the brain and
caused the commissions. The operation
was completely successful. Lieut.. Holt
was doing we'll on Friday. Several other
surgeons were present and witnessed the
operation, which was performed by DR..
Ford alone, and which is said by those
who know, to have been one of the most
skillful in the annals of surgery. It GER
tainly reflects great credit upon DR.. Ford.

The Boston Transcript observes: "In
1892 Timothy Pickering was Postmaster
General at a salary of two thousand dollars,
with thousand dollar assistant and a
clerk to match. He asked permission of
Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the
Treasury, to hire two rooms, a cellar and
a servant, for the department, at cost to
the Government not to exceed three hun
dred dollars. Hamilton thought the ar
rangement seemed consistent with the in
terests of the United States, though what
that had to do with it would puzzle o mo-
dern statesman sorely."
