FATAL AFFItAY.
Two Young Men Enter the Spirit World.

From II passenger who came in on the Kansas
Pacific train last evening, we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars of II cold blooded and atrociolis
murder which occurred ut BroOkville, u station
on the road about ninety miles west of us, yes.
terday morning ut an early hour, the victims of
which were two highly respectable young men
of Brookvlle. by the name of Anderson.
The perpetratOr of the murder is gambler
by the name Of Barney Bohan, who kept
gambling hell in the sown, at which the two
brothers, IL seems, were visitors.
About four o'clock Yesterday morning, u diff
Guilty arose at the gaming table between VIM.
Anderson and Bohan, which resulted in col.
lsIon between the two men. Bolan struck
Anderson on the head. and then LEFT the room.
While Anderson was engaged in washing blood
from his face. Bohan who had been absent but
few moments, returned, and without word of
warning. drew pistol and opened fire on his
victim. Two shots took effect, and the wound
ed man fell to the floor severely, yet not fatally
wounded Thomas Anderson, brother of the
wounded man, interfered, when Bohan turned
upon him and fired, sending ball Though the
heart Of the unfortunate young man and killing
him instantly. The bloodthirsty Bohan then
walked up to the PROSTATE form of William and
drawing another pistol aent five more shots
into his body, killing him rs he laid upon the
floor. ..
The two murdered men were unmarried, and
of most excellent character. They were en-
gagged in bushes in the town and bore most ell
viabe regulations. The prisoner was removed
to Salina, in order to save him from being

AuO OWtty 4NOVss
Through tho politeness Of our worthy ex.
Sherinf,we yesterday received, nicely encased In
perfumed pxsteboard box, splendid specimen Of
that ferocious quadruped known as the grasshop-
per. We return our thanks to Sheriff Berry, al
though from his well.known devotion to ngri-
cultural matters, and his provcrbial entcrprz. I,
we had right to expect that hc would secure
the first grasshopper that might happen to ven
ture into these diggings, nnd would Of course
present 1t to us. Nevertheless we thank him.
The grasslopper belongs to the Cicada fam.
lily, and is much older than the first families Of
Virginia. Another well.known member Of the
same family is the modern democrat, who Is
porcenu. The old reliable grasshopper has
gone slow for centuries, until his more destruc.
tive congener blazcd out as the great American
destroyer, some fifteen wears since, when the
old quiescent started out to preserve his ancient
pre-eminence rs plague. 1t is now nip and
tuck between the grasshoppcr and the demo.
crat. with the chances in favor of the latter.
Like the democrat, the grasshopper is strid-
ulous insect. His sweet and eXquistely modu-
lated voice is poured forth by the hour for the
purpose of charming the other sex. 1t is like
the cOoins of the dOve-anothcr well-known
member of the same family. The grasshopper
and democrat also have another quality In com.
mon. With few guadily hued feathers prop
erly inserted, neither of them can he disting-
ushed from peacock. The peacock, another
member of the Cicada family, charms the fe-
male by display, but ranks below the grass
hopper, democrat. and dove, in the melody of
its voice. That is to say, the peacock can strut
but can not sing, while the rest can sing but
fail on the strut. The democrat. however, has
the faculty oil trimming himself with struttng
adjuncts, until he is able to excel the peacock ut
the peacock's own game. '
This scientific talk ON the srasshopper will
enable the reader to understand the secret of
onr worthy ex-Sherin's great popularity among
the fair sex. Hecharms them by his voice, and
captivates them by his display of plumnge. His
swee. singing makes him the cynosure Of all
eyes in front, while In the rear, the borrowed
plunes of the peacock are polar star of at.
tractiveness in that direction.
Long may he wave!

steps should at once be taken to meet the
constantly increasing evil. lie said that
on one occasion in the l;ibratory OF
Professor Cochran. six and = halt tons of
stereotype plates were destroyed by means
OF acids. In addition there were books of
800 varieties. A factory for the manutac.
turc OF articles not so much MS named had
been seized at no great distance from
where they stood. LII another place 625
varieties of stereotype plates were seized.
Near Greenwood Cemetery there was late
y another factory run on n considerable
scale. where the wares were made chiefly
by young children. ... HW w -.
HOW THE WORK Is DONE.
Directories of young persons in semna.
ries have been carefully prepared, COW
ering nearly all the States, 5 ce"ts ii name
being the common lr,te allowed to agents
co operating. Puzzles and games are ad-
vertised, and, in response to curious en-
quiries, fiendish circulars are sent through
the United States mails, ,Qr catalogue of
books, and this to an extent almost be-
yond belief. Numerous instances were
mentioned where the scoundres concern
ell had been committed to prison. The
business is now largely in '.specialties,n
particular houses devoting themselves to
particular description. AT the result, large
fortunes are accumulated. Recently, one
of the men thus engaged died, leaving
S45O,000, over which the heirs are now
quarreling. .ts.... .Iy q.
Since the lst of January last 10 tones of
vile matter have been seized. This is not
guess, bur actual weight. Four tons were
taken from Il single store in Nassau street.
Account books had been seized in which
were the names of $500 dealers, in differ
ent cities. all implicated. A single print
er. as appeared from invoices, has sold
obscene books to the extent OF $4,000
within four years. There had been ;.r-
rested 14S persons, with 100 convictions,
and there wore IL now held for trial.

Mr.. Comstock mentioned the singula an fact
that the three publishers lately in Brook
lyn died soon after he went "for them"
One fled South. but was brought home
corpse in a few days, the inference being
death from shame and dread OF exposure.
1t was almost impossible to procure the
conviction of the offender, he said. Near
