NEGRO DEVILTRY.
BEAsTLY OUTRAGE AND DANGEROUS EXC
MENT IN KENTUCKY.

BEASTLY OUTRAGE AND DANGEROUS EXCITE
MENT IN KENTUCKY.
The Evansville Journal of Saturday was
furnished with the particulars of fendish
crime committed near Uniontown, KY, OF
Thursday afternoon, which has served 10
arouse, with ten-fold vigor, the prejudice be-
tween the whites and blacks of that county.
Several weeks ago, it will be remembered,
three negroes were hung by a mob for
burning a distillery. The negroes
of the county have been sore
under this ever since, and it has been neces-
arg for the white citizens to Keep patrolmen
out to guard against other threats of incen-
disrism. By judicious treatment this ill
feeling might have been, to a great degree,
aliayed, but before this had been done, in
the footsteps of the first outrage, follows an
other which may well be calculated to in
cite the populace to a terrible pitch. On
Thursday afternoon, just before shutdown, a
negro named Henry Kinney succeeded in
inducing little white girl aged about nine
years into stable near Uuiontown,
and there committed a terrible outrage upon
her person. The child is daughter of Sam
uel Melton, and was induced by the negro,
under some fair promises, to go into the
stable. After committing the fiendish act
the negro went into Uniontown and col
lected some money which was owing to
him and left, it is supposed. one OF the
river packets. The people of Uniontown
are in feverish excitement over the affair,
and our informant states that should the
ravisher be caught, there is doubt but
that he will receive summary justice.

The Springfield Republican thus compares
Messrs. Wood and Kerr: The two most
prominent candidates for the speakership
are PROFESSIONALLY Fernando Wood. of
New York, and Michael G. Kerr, OF Indiana
Mr.. Wood has the advantage of being on
the ground as member of the present
house, with the means aud the man
ner for dispensing seductive hospi-
tality, and he is already a liberal
patron of the excellent Washington mar
kets and extra walters. Mr.. Kerr is absent
a poorer and rougher man, but, though ont

public, ne is not altogether out of mind, but
looms up thFeateningly in the distant moral
landscape, so to-speak. Mr.. Woods Wash
ington record Is certainly e very good one
for MIN. He has been stout partisan,
but 2 clean one. What wiz work against
him are the memory of his old New York
City administration, and the general distrust
in both parties Of any one brought up in
New York politics. If the democracy were
to run on in their present Indifference to
politics and principles, he wocld be quite
likely to carry Oh the prize; but another

ton 10 anything like jobbery, and that firm

which will 5000 be counted as of higher

Judgment here is, therefore, that, how
evever powerful Mr.. Woods strength may
seem, this winter, or even next summer,
Mr.. Kerr will in tns-end receive the rare
donors and exercise the great powers OF the |

DipSOnania.

Some valuable and interesting informa-
ton on the subject of dipsomania or drunk
enness as disease is given in the 6rst an
nual report of the New York State Inebri-
ate Asylum, which has just been published.
1t seems to be established that inebriety,
like other disorders of the human system,
can be corrected and cured by proper treat
ment that the lost self-control can be re-
stored, and the unfortune victims of ter
rible vice returned to lives of usefulness and
respectability. Many eminent men, includ-
ing DIR. Rush, have from time to time, dur
ing the last half century, given testimony
in favor of medical treatment in the man
agement of drunkenness. When the public
come to understand that the medical pro-
fession regard drunkenness or inebriety as
a disease, literally crazy thirst inherited,
or oegotten of excessive indulgence, and
that intOxication is the immediate or re-
mote cause of this disease, the subject will
not be treated iu the fippant or noisy de-
nunciatory style that is too frequently in
dulged in by the press and pulpit of the day.
The physician of the New York State
Inebriate Asylum classifies the different
forms of drinking as accidental or social,
habitual and periodical. An accidental or
occasional drinker is sound man, and has
the power of restraining himself; but the
habitual drunkard is an unsound man
mentally, physically, and morally. He is
lost to self-control. The appetite grows by
what it feeds upon, and as rule, habitual
drinkers as they increase the amount of
stimulation, take correspondingly less food.
Not few patients have been reportsd as
having taken from forty to fifty glasses
day for as many days, with scarcely any
food, until poisoned and exhausted, the cul-
minating point is reached, and under pros
tration, with or without convulsions or
mania, or it may be death, follows. If they
recover, such persons soon relapse again,
and gradually the whole being, moral and
physical, is changed. Slowly, insidiously,
but surely the brain and nervous centres
have been poisoned. The tissues are in
famed, and hardening or softening may
follow; then comes confusion of thought,
blunted perceptions, and conscious or un-
conscious moral obliquity. Such persons
seldom see themselves as others see them.
They will, with apparent earnestness, deny
the fact Of their drinking. In fact, as they
frequently 60 for days without reeling, even
their intimate friends may be deceived.
They say and do all sorts of absurd things,
for which in the restored consciousness of
sobriety they are deeply penitent.
A majority of the persons who drink ex-

cessively have estimable qualities. They
are ordinarily OF generous impulses, and
with not little manly pride and delicate
senslbiilty. Letters from friends furnish
ing the physician with brief Biographies
OF patients usually refer to the ''Only one
1ault." That one fault is vice; but at

"ison OF malaria is to restrain his frenzy.
He "ayes the stimulous of alcohol with the
same in, %usity that starving man Graves
food. JJnd.- such conditions food is re-
iected and nosi, 'vely loathed. A man in
this condition sbond be regarded as we
would regard a swimme,rr who, intent only
on the pleasures of bath, 1nds himself in
the current of an undertow ans unable to
regain the shore. In both cases she need
OF assistance is urgen.. HumanityS de-
mands that we promptly provide for tue
perishing the means of rescue.
When sufferers from dipsomania have
reached the piteous condition described
above, they are too often treated with in
excusable neglect by their friends. Through
ignorance and prejudice they have left to
hounder and sink in the slough, with that
mockery of consolation that they have only
to stop drinking and they will certainly
recover. But no mistake could be more
fatal to them. Ordinary observers can
form no conception of the weakness to
which such persons have become reduced.
Careful investigation into the condition of
patients coming under charge of the State
lnebriate Asylum has led to the conclusion
that not one of those who had drank to ex-
cess for year or more before going to the
asylum found his way to perfect health and
complete emancipation from the effects of
alcohol in less than year; and some
cases require a much longer time.
1t is gratifying TO be informed that num-
Ders go from the institution really cured,
'estored, and reformed as much as is pos
'lble in human nature. The system should
rot be declared failure if these persons
voluntarily or carelessly relapse. The
'ases OF complete restoration, as shown by
'fficial statistics and letters on file from
'arious parts of the county, demonstrate
that there is no reason for
lespair where there is no genuine coopera-
Ion on the part of the patient. In fact,

Rev. II. W. Beecher, in his address in

would not be desirable to have perpetual

the occasional one the tempestous. There
seems something like this in human socie-

THE LITTLE WIFE.
BY II. A. MORRISON,

The little wife laid her sewing down,
And looked at the clock and said:
SIT is time that put the kettle on,
And the cloth on the table spread,
For the clock is near to the stroke Of six,
And I've hardly time to see
That the kettle bois and the toast is made,
When John will come home to tea
The table she drew to the cosiest nook,
And she laid the plates for two,
But they were plain delf, there was silver nont
And the dishes they were few,
''But butter and bread and some cake and fruit
All dainty as tkey can be,
And the cloth is white,' said the little wife,
| ''That is what John likes to see.''
! The little wife took out dressing gown
! And spread on a cushioned chair,
And before it pair of slippers placed,
Far too large for her to wear;
And she patted the gown and softly said:
''Lie there, that you warm may be,
For the night is cod-for John to put on,
When he shall come home to tea
The little wife smoothed and braided her hair,
And put on pretty dress,
bit Of soft lace and knot of gray silk,
To finish it at the breast.
Then she looked in the glass and blushed ant
smiled,
And she was fair picture to see
And excused herself-"John will be so pleased
With the dress when he comes home to tea
Rut TFluS 81 hn 1,so 1lot t-,tt I,-:ro
And the toast is getting dry;
1t is growing dark, and the street-lamps shine,
But the footsteps all pass by.
The little wife peeps out the front hall door,
Then runs TO the garden gate;
But he does not come, and ooh dear,'' she sighs,
CTS tiresome thing to watt
Then she tries to read, but whether or no
The tale was gloomy or gay
She could not have told, for her restless thoughts,
With her heart, are far away.
Again and again to the front hall door,
She goes to look up the street,
Each far away foOtstep making her heart
With hepe to faster beat.
''Why it must be hours,' said the little wife.
With pout and an ugly crown,
'Fd like to know what, at this time of night,
John can be doing down town.
If he cared for me he would surely come
But I've often heard it said
And half believe it nOw-that Il man
Loves only till he's wed.
''But he shall not know, if it breaks my heart,
| will have my tea-so there's
Her checks arc so red and her eyes are so bright
She looks at the vacant chair,
And her knife falls down, and "Oh, dear" she
says,
And then she begins to cry,
* wonder "as ever a six months wife
SO miserable as /!
John never would stay if he was alive
The little wife sobbiugly said,
And so all this time Eve been blaming him
1t may be that John is dead"
why bless me what's this % says manly
voice,
Tender rs tender can be,
Ind the clock is just pointing to half-past six,
And John has come home to tea.
