A NOBLE EXAMPLE BY WILLIAM BUTLER
DUNCAN
From the Evening EXpress.]

IFTUW tHe EVtHIHy NAPrtSSJ
Mr.. William Butler Duncan has set noble
example in throwing open his magnificent house
and grounds on Staten Island for the enter
tainment OF children. The spirit that leads
the wealthy to care for and comfort the poor
children is rapidly spreading, and this entertain
ment OF Mr.. Duncan's will probably be but the IN
auguraton OF others OF similar character. The
general fund for childrens excursions Is receiving
valuable additions every day, and 1t is very evil
dent that the little people are to be well ana ten
derry looked alter during the heated months.
1t was noteworthy fact that In this large
gathering OF children there was not one VINO
plucked o single flower or was guilty OF any act OF
malicious mischief. This shows that the youngs ters
fully appreciated the Kindness Of their host, and
repaid 1t by respecting him and his. The WORK
goes bravely on, and the result Will be lighter
hearts and happier homes.

So little desire fer knowledge and the acqusi-

newspapers, was not fit person to sit and
decide upon the all important questions in
volving the life or liberty of fellow.c citizen
And this Is right.
Hence. we feel no dellcacy in speaking OF
the outrageous murder Of Judge Fox, recent

and officer Of Judge Fox's court. A long mar

Hon John w. Fox. judge of the lth
judicial circuit, was shot this morning

with double. barreled shot gun and died
at lp. m. The contents of both barrels
entered his stomach and bowels. He was
on his way to the post office from the

from r G Dyers drug store, and said
-"now Judge Fox" ut the same time

stomach. He sank upon the ground cx
claiming: "Oh Lord I'm dead man. y
After he had fallen Aldiidge, to make
sure of his work, emptied the other bar

He was taken back to the hotel, where he
was attended by physicians, but the
wounds were pronounced fatal AID
ridge then went to the sheriff and deliv
cred himself up Thejury of inquest re
turned verdict in accordance with the
above facts The origin of the difficulty
is not definitely known. Aldrld9e is
lawyer of some prominence, and it is
thought the matter grew out of some re-
marks of Judge Fox while on the bench.
Aldridge is in the custody Of the sheriff.
The Gazette Of Sunday, says:
Judge Fox was native of Ohio, about
thirty years of age, and had been resi-
dent of the State about four years He
was one of the representatives from Phil
lips county in the last Legislature and was
chairman Of the judiciary committee. AT
the close of the session he was elevated
to the bench by Gov. Baxter. AS leg
slator Judge he won the respect of all
parties. He was young man of consid
cradle ability, and his death is much to
be deplored Judge Fox was recently
married in this city to daughter of Hon
F. w. Compton, whom he leaves ayoung
widow to mourn his early taking Off
We deeply sympathise with thesrelatives

sCIoPTICON.

Having found ont new source Of delight,
we are anxieus to disseminate the informa-
ton, that others may enjoy it as much as We
do.
You do not know what 1t is? You have
heard of the Stereoscopticcn and the Panto-
scopticon, and the Epizooty and the Unicorn
of Scripture" as the circus. bills say. Well, 1t
is nothing more than new Magic Lantern
suitable for showing glass photographs aud
other pictures on large scale. In general
all the opticons are Magic Lanters.
The Stcreoscope gives us fine pictures
which can be seen only by one at time,
looking through the instrument, The Seiopti-
con gives us fine enlarged image on the
wall. which can be enjoyed by an assembled
audience at the same time. 1t Is small
compact. ingenious. complete and powerful
instrument costing no mere than the burn
ing of two Kerosene lamps for an evening
and it is scarcely more trouble. To see Thor
wadsen's glorious bas-relef of " Night and
Morning, " as the Sciopticon throws them on
the wall, is better than seeing gallery Of
commonplace statuary. The fine landscapes,
mountain views. lakes, water falls. cities,
! buildings, etc, are a source of never ending
| delight.
! For the entertainment of our citizens and
the instruction of the children. we are glad to
know a Club has been formed. known as the
IVAN Buren SciOpticon Club, which has
purchased one Of these fine instruments with
splendid assortment of pictures, and We
learn at an early day will give us an enter
tainment The entrance fee will be small
and the proceeds used for buying additional
pictures Many of our oldest and best citi-
zens are members Of the Club, which insures
| its success.
We urge all, young and old, to attend the
entertainment and enjoy for themselves a
pleasant treat. For there is no recreation at
once SO refined, so delightful and so instruc-
tive as that afforded by the Sciopticon. BY
its means. a child is early habituated to see
life in ali its forms and to love scenery and
works of art
p. S.-Entertainment will be THURSDAY
NIGHT NEXT, at the COURT HOUSE.
Now Dunham, we don't care what
you say about us. but is unknd to bring
