Several gentlemen who went fishing

what Some Churches Pay for their
Organists, Singers ana Quartettes,

A frst-class quartette, with an organ
lst, costs from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t costs something to have fashion
able choir. An ordinary quartette costs
$1,000.
A good tenor singer, soprano, or con-
tralto commands readily 81 600. Some
sopranos are paid $4,000.
Warren, Of St. Thomas Church, stands
at the head of choir leaders. He has
$4,000 a year salary and house.
Grace Church pays its musical direc-
tor $4,000 year. Out of this sum he
hires all help he needs aud pays himself.
One female singer in the city has So, 900
for morning and afternoon service, and
81 900 extra for singing in the evening
in another church.
Trinity Church, though very economi-
cal, pays $4,000 year for its music.
1t has boy choir of thirty members,
these are paid q salary, and receive a
complete musical education.
Many of our fashionable congregations
are dispensing with choirs altogether,
and calling in the aid of preceptor.
But this style of music has its serious
drawbacks.
The First Presbyterian Church of this
city has never had an organ or instru-
ment of music. The spirit of Robert
Lenox still ab;des. 1t was considered q
great innovation when quartette choir
was introduced.
st. Bartholomew is just now the rage
among fashionable church goers. 1t is
the newest and most elegant Episcopal
Church in the city. Men crowd the
aisles to hear the music. When the SER
mon comes on they leave in droves.
The elegant little church on Fifth
avenue, known as Christ Church, has
been famous for its music. Run down
by Mr.. Ewer's Ritualism, New York
broker paid in one year $1,000 for the
music of this church.
Plymouth Church has congregational
singing, led by full choir. Inside the
choir is a paid quartette. The trustees
set apart $500 for music. To this is
added $500 more, bringing it up to
$4,000. Fifteen hundred of this is paid
Mr. Zundel as organist. The balance
the leader uses at bis discretion.
Many of our churches tire of the
present mode of conducting the service
of song 10 the house Of the Lord. In
some cases singers hardly get the burnt
cork off their faces in season for the
morning worship. Italians and Jewes-
ses, whe sing until midnight on Satur-
day at heavy salary, appear in the
church to praise the Lord.-N Y.

HOMICIDE AT HORN LAKE.
A Negro KILLED for Half Dollar
The way the Fourth of July
stamped Itself Upon the African
Mind

A Negro Killed for Half "a Dollar
The way the Fourth of July
stamped Itself Upon the African
Mind.
At Horn Lake, Miss, twelve miles
south of this city, on Friday evening
last, negro man named Sawney Jacobs
was stabbed and almost cut to pieces by
a negro boy namod bred Turner. Jacobe
was an up-country negro, from north of
the Ohio river. He has been living in
Mississippi for few years, and had the
reputation OF being insolent, quarrel
some, turbulent and dangerous. a
week ago he borrowed half dollar
from bred Turner, boy aged
eighteen, who was employed around the
Horn Lake depot by the depot keeper,
Mr.. Bynum. bred Turner wished to at
tend the Fourth of July celebration in
Memphis and loaned jacobs the fifty
cents on the latter promising to return
sixty cents on Friday evening. This
was illegal interest but was a fair and
square commercial transaction. On
Friday afternoon Turner asked Jacobs
for the money, but received volley of
curses and a severe beating in lieu.
Later in the afternoon Jacobs COM
menced a system of abuse, beating and
striking Turner several times. About
dark, Jacobs followed Turner again and
Knocked him down. The boy tried to
escape and beg of, but his assailant
being a powerful mar and desperate,
would not permit it. He got Turner
back OF the depot and struck him vio-
lent blow in the mouth and was about to
follow up the assault, when the boy be-
coming desperate, and fearing his life
was in danger, drew large pocket knife
and went to work.
THE DREADFUL WOUNDS.
The first blow Of The knife struck ia
cobs in the right side, the blade of the
knife severing two ribs and cut the lung
in twain, piece Of it leaping out on the
breast of the man. The second blow
opened up the right breast for six inches
about the region of the heart; a third
went deep under the collar bone, and a
fourth penetrated the stomach. Jacobs
fell after receiving the third stroke, but
the boy Turner leaped on the PROSTATE
body Of Jacobs and continued stabbing
and cutting until he ceased to live.
A white man ran out of the depot and
ordered Turner to stop, which he did
Immediately and at once left for the
Mississippi bottom so as to escape arrest.
DR.. Baskerville examined the body OF the
dead man; fourteen horrible aud CHASTITY
wounds appeared, seven of which we're
pronounced mortal. Jacobs was cut
literally to pieces. The blade Of the
knife was broken of in his body by Tur-
ner, and the latter, while committing the
savage deed, cut his own hand in Sc
we're manner. On the Fourth Of July
the remains Of Jacobs we're buried and

A scientific Frenehman, NJ. Bruneau,
has invented q contrivance for the quick
and painless killing of cattle, which has
already been adopted and used in many
of the European abattoirs. 1t consists
of leathern mask that fits upon the
head ofthe animal and in the middle of
which is fastened a plate of iron, having
in its center a cylindrical hole that
comes directly over the center of the
forehead. When an animal is to be
slaughtered the mask is placed upon its
head, and sharp pointed instrument of
steel, about six inches in length, is fitted
to the hole in the plate. A blow from a
wooden mallet drives this instrument
into the animals brain, causing instant
and painless death. A piece of wood is
then inserted in place of the steel, and
is pushed deeply into the brain, putting
stop to all twitchings aud quivering.
A vein is then opened to allow the blood
to escape. The advantages of this
method are the safety of the butcher,
ease of the operation and the quick and
painless death of the subject.
