Civil Rights Outrage.

Last evening Mr.. William Henry, who
has been employed on this journal, had
occasion to visit house near Central
Point, being DESTROYS Of renting it.
After looking through the premises he
saw a lot of negroes in the back yard.
He stated to the proprietor that if he
rented the premises he wanted these
negroes to move out" When he reached
the front gate one of the negroes, who
had overheard the remark, came around
the house and saying, !" want you to
understand that negro is as good as
any white son of -" hurled brick
at Mr.. Henry. The brick struck him in
the side, breaking one of his ribs. The
negro fed and was pursued, but escaped
arrest. At Central Point negroes have
been rescued from the police and white
people are insulted daily. There is
gang Of rufianly black desperadoes re-
siding in that locality who need lesson
not taught by the civil rights bill.
Burglaries and robberies by negroes
take place nightly. What's to be done
in the premises remains to be seen.
Every white man visiting or passing
through Central Point should be heavily
armed

Last Saturday the city and county
committees on the location of work
house, consisting Of Councilmen Camp
Roush, luther, Hughes and Alderman

visited the Navy Yard and Happy Hol-

Mrs. McCarty rushed back to her domi-

There was a stampede INDUCED in by
the committee as the Amazon chased
them up the hill. One of the Council
men undertook to expostulate with her
in German, but this only turned her
anger against him, and as he fed the
heavy club, hurled with unerring aim
by the McCarty, struck him in the back.
The grim Amazon stands by her castle
on the Lake of Como, and swears that
the man who attempts to put her out
will get his head broke.

Perfection.

The nearest approach to perfection in
articles designed for kitchen use, is that
of Dooley's Yeast Powder, now generally
recognized as the most economical and
reliable baking powder in the country.
No housekeeper should be without it.
To accomplish the same results, it re-
quires but one-half or two-thirds the

other baking powders, while uniform

Captain P. H. Stricklands male

arrive at its perehilion (nearest the SUM

the lst of August. The comet is at

presents the appearance of a hazy,
nebulous mass, with a bright point a

the slightest provocation, and accom-

The night before last, writes the Paris

and announced that the drama just

The Editors Model.

A New York correspondent says:
The three great editors of this city who
have passed away within few years
either were intentional or inviting
copyists of former characters of note.
For instance, Greeley was another Ben
Franklin. Raymond was a student of
Edmund Burke, and, so far as possible,
made that wonderful man his model. A
striking proof Of this is found in the
fact that the only time that he ever ap-
peared before the public as a lecturer
his subject was Edmund Burke The
late editor of the Herald was in many
points more unlike any foregoing char
acter than any man have ever heard of,
and yet he was, unconsciously, repro
duction of Dean Swift. / mean that
if Dean Swift had been an editor, he
would have been such one as Bennett
was. There was in each that caustic
satire, that pungency of paragraph, and
that utter Indifference to all but them
selves, which resulted in a selfshness
which the community seemed to forgive,
because it was so wonderful. Swift lived
at time when the press could hardly be
said to exist, and yet he made himself
power through the printed page. Could
he have had a modern newspaper he
would have been the Satanic editor of
his day. Both Swift and Bennett were
bred to the church. The latter dropped
his priestly purposes at an early
age and Swift retained his,
but the profession was only a
burden. His clerical life was much Of
the kind which might have been expected
of Bennett had the plan Of his parents
been carried out The very close of life
bore in each similarity. Bennett sank
into senility and second childhood sew
eral years before his death. Swift felt
the approach of such fate before it oc-
Cured, and spoke of himself dying like
a tree, at the top" Johnson portrays
the last condition of the great satirist in
lines like these:
" From Marlboros eyes the tears of dotage
flow;
And Swift expires driveller and show"
"a picture which will apply to the last
days of the founder of the Herald"

The Domesday Book of Scotland, just
presented to Parliament shows that
within fraction, half the whole extent
of Scotland is held by one hundred land
owners, every one OF whom owns more
than 10000 acres. There are ffty-two
persons among those who own more than
10000 acres each. The Duke Of Suth-
eriand stands at the head of the list,
having domain of l,l76,343 acres, in
addition to which his wife, the Countess
of Cromartie, is the owner of 1882
acres. The area of their combined
property is greater than that OF any
county in England, except Yorkshire
and Lincolnshire.
