The Shooting of a Reporter.

As the shooting of Captain Schmidt
by the Carlists has almost become an
European question, it will be interest
ing to know precisely how it came
about, on the authority of Spanish
correspondent of the Berlin KaeuS-
Zeitapg, writing from Tolosa:
"Captain Schmidt was captured June
25, near Villetuerta, by the sharpshoot-
ers of the Carlist advance. AS he wore
peasants dress and spoke Spanish
imperfectly, he was treated as a spy.
The troops were going into action, and
there was no time for regular court-
martial. He was summarily tried, and
in spite of his protests, sentenced to be
shot. He was shot on the Both, in spite
of the arrival of q courier from Don
Carlos ordering a stay of the execution.
He was shot in company with twenty
two Republican officers and soldiers,
having been first allowed to write fare
well letters to his family. The unfor-
tunate captain belonged to the artillery
and wore the order of the Iron Gross of
the first class. Although a Protestant,
he declared that he embraced the Gath
olic faith in the hope of saving his life.
All was in vain -
This, to be sure, is u Q German story.
If it be correct, however, the Oarlists
on the spot we're unquestionably guilty
of something unpleasantly like a crime.

Ike PartIngtOn's Composition.

"Plymouth Rock" being the subject
given out for the exercise of the school,
the teachers and boys were astonished
at the following luminous composition
by Ike Partington, which displays
great historical acumen and most as
tonishing chronological facility:
Plymouth Rock.-This Rock was
brought to this country in the Mayfow-
er, in the year 1892, by the Pilgrims,
under the direction of Elder Osman
Brewster, who afterwards moved to
Boston and became an alderman of that
city. It was on this rock that Governor
Carver first shook hands with Samoset,
who said, Welcome Englishmenl' 1t
is recorded that when Samoset came up
Governor Carver asked him If he was a
real Ingine, or only a member OF an In
gine Company. u' ..I-".
The Rock has long been regarded as
famous place. The American Eagle
for great many years used to come
and whet his beak on the rock, but In
1868 Miles Standish, in order to keep
it from being stolen, carried it and put
it in front of Pilgrim Hall, where it re.
mains at the present time, invested
with great interest and an iron fence.
The fence bears the names of all the
Pilgrims in cast-iron letters that can't
be rubbed out. ......r g..-.
The Rock is good deal worn out by
the allusions touching it that are
thrown off by Fourth of July orators.
Plymouth Rock is the cornerstone of
the cellar wall of our Republican struc-
ture, paregorically speaking, and the
spirit of liberty sits upon it with a
drawn sword in one hand, and the torch
of freedom in the other; and if foes
invade the shore of Plymouth at high
water-for they never can get in at low
tide-they will throw this rock in their
teeth. It is precious legacy from the
past to the present, and from it may be
reckoned the Pilgrims Progress.

Well Provided For,

The Christian IntelHgencer tells this
story: eve know of case in which
a mother and her sister, her daughter,
and her son-in-law were furnished with
good suite of rooms, handsomely
fitted up, with more than simply decent
clothing, and with well-ordered table,
by the pitiful supplications of the aged
sister, who made frequent and regular
visits to certain set Of offices down
town. This was spoken of in the family
as going down to the bank to draw a
little deposit This source of income
not being deemed sufficient to meet the
wants of the son-in-law, o retired law
yer, who was little fastidious in the
matter of dressing gowns, slippers and
cigars, a strike was made on new set
of givers. The matter was referred by
one of the latter to faithful city visitor
of the poor, who called, reported, and
the result was not only no new gifts,
but even the bank before mentioned
suspended payment, and the young
man was actually driven to the cruel
alternative Of going to work or going
hungry"

The Newspaper.

Science, it may be said, has shown
us how to make newspaper the cheap
est created article in the world. As an
example of workmanship the damp,
fresh journal that lies on the the break
fast table is the highest type of what
capital, industry and skill can produce
in the way of cheapness. The needle,
the common pin, the steel pen, in their
way show similar result. But it would
be far easier for the unskilled person
to make needle, pin or pen than
to compose newspaper. In one we see
what the perfection of machinery will
will do in the way of fneness and cheap.
ness of workmanship. But the news
paper, says an exchange, represents the
achievements of machinery and the re-
suits of energy and patient thought
combined. For less than the cost of a
cigar, loaf of bread, or cup of coffee,
the journalist sells the combined efforts
of hundreds of men. To enable him to
make his newspaper, his ministers go
to all quarters of the world. And SO
perfect has the relation between the
true journal and the people become
that great newspaper is no more and
no less than q great commonwealth. It
has the responsibility and many of the
attributes of sovereignty. There is no
such power for good or evil as now rests
in the hands of the journalist. Every
day he scatters his sheets broadcast to
the four winds, to fall like seed upon
barren and stony as we'll as upon fertile
ground, to bear fruit which may be
wheat and may be tares. We do not
say that in all cases this labor is hon.
estly, carefully done. We are we'll
aware that thousands of tares are sown
every day--slanders, falsehoods, dis
paragaments, reckless statements that
bring forth sorrow and heart-burning.
But we do feel that every year there is
less and less of this, that journalism is
becoming more and more profession,
that the true editor feels that he is in
some sense a Judge, and that it will be
woe unto him if he deals unjustly. So
that in o moral sense, as mighty infu-
enco acting directly and necessarily up
on public opinion, as we'll as in a social
and business sense, as the instrument
of news and business affairs, the news
paper takes every day higher and
higher ststion.

Abyssinian Slaves.

The Abyssinian girls are remarkably
pretty, with large eyes and delicately-
shaped features. These girls are
brought down from the Gala country
by the slave-dealers from Abyssinia.
That beautiful country, which, had we
not wantonly deserted it, might have
become of great Importance, is now a
prey to anarchy. The opposing tribes
are only too happy to sell their female
prisoners to the Arab slave-traders.
These people bring down the young
girls in gangs by various routes, but
the principal outlet is the Red Sea,
about Massowa. A great market is at
Gallabat, the frontier town of Abyssi-
mia. There / have seen them crowded
together in mat tents, waiting for pur-
chasers from those commissioned to
procure slaves by the wealthy Arabs
and Turkish officials. At Gallabat a
handsome young girl of sixteen is
worth about ELS, but the same girl at
Cairo would bring G40 or ESQ. The
hUybSluldu5 are u muCH duVduC6u race
compared with the negroes of Central
Africa. The women are very affection
ate and devoted to those who show
them kindness.i. Thus, as they COM
bine beauty with devotion, they are
much sought for, and command high
price in the market. They are seldom
purchased by common people, as their
price is too high, and they cannot earn
money by bodily labor like negresses,
being too delicate and unable to sus-
tain fatigue. Although they are gener-
ally termed Abyssinians (Ha6besheea),
have never met with true high-caste
Abyssinian girl-these would-be Chris
tians; whereas all have seen have beer
Gallas-a Mohammedan race. Many OF
these poor girls die from fatigue on the
desert journey from Gallabat to the
sea- coast. Those who reach Khartoum,
or the towns of Lower Egypt, are sold
to the wealthy, and generally take a
high position in the harems, often be-
coming the wives of their purchasers.
In the Soudan [ have met several
charming Abyssinian ladies, who, hav-
ing married European residents, have
become perfectly civilized, proving the
race is capable of great advancement

A Singular Fish.

A strange fish is found in the noisy
maigre. 1t makes strange cooling
moan, accompanied by q sharp croak
that can be heard at depth of $50 feetS
The fish attains length of about six
feet and weighs forty pounds. What
these sounds are for we know not, but
on the principle that all things are for
some particular purpose they must have
meaning. That the imperfect voice OF
the fish is used to express discomfort
and pain have no doubt, as in numer-
GUS experiments on fish found in the
Gulf of Mexico, called the grunt,
found that the voice was used and mod
ulated as with other animals. When
touched with the knife the grunts that
it gave vent to fairly rose to shrek,
and when dying its means and sobs
were almost disagreeably human.
I shall never forget the first one OF
these veritable porkers that / caught.
Thinking that my bait needed replen-
ishing, 1 hauled in and found nicely
hooked grunt, and no sooner had
placed him in the boat than he COM

Comparative Value of Land.

The comparative value of land in
France, England, and the United
States is an interesting and somewhat
curious subject of speculation. From
the best authorities it appears that the
valuation of land in France, if we sub
stitute the acre for the hectare and the
dollar for the franc, was just prior to
the Revolution $40 per acre in 1921,
$56; in 1851, $1O3; in 1862, $143, and
in 1874, $3.50 per acre. M. de Foville,
the political economist, estimates the
present value of the entire soil OF
France at 500, 100000, 900. In 1851 the
income returned from land alone was
$3.50, 100000. ;f.
In England, from statistics which
perhaps ought to be called inferential,
the value of land per acre is placed at
5000 in 1916 and at $3.50 in 1872. The
present value of all the land in England
is estimated at $S, 152, ,371, ,665, and the
rental of the soil for 1872 amounted to
$244, ,571, $50.
In the United States we are without
the data to furnish estimates for these
earlier periods, but the census valua-
tion for improved aud unimproved land
in farms is a fraction over $11 per acre
in 1850, little more than $l6 per acre
in 1860, and little less than $23 per
acre in 1870. The total cash value of
all farm lands in the United States by
the official report of 1870 is SO, ,262, :
SO3, 1851, and the value of their annual
productions during the last decade,
$244, 1853, 1865.

The Curse Of Scotland,

A few evenings before the battle of
Culloden, there were gathered in the
apartments of the Pretender, at Inver-
ness, few of his friends, for the pur-
pose of playing at cards. In the course
of the evening, the nine of diamonds
belonging to the pack with which they
were playing was lost On the night
after the battle, which resulted so dis
astrously for the rebel army, the Duke
of Cumberland entered Inverness, and
as was his invariable custom, took up
his quarters in the apartments which
had so recently been occupied by
Prince Charles Edward. On the follow
ing morning, a scout brought in word
that a small portion of the rebel army
had taken shelter in a deep gorge
among the mountains. The Duke at
once directed an officer to take num-
Der of men, surround the party, and put
eyerv man to death who was found in
arms. The officer, reluctant to execute
this inhuman order, and perhaps fear
full of after consequences, declined to
take the command withouta written
order. The Duke looked round the
room for piece of paper on which to
write the order, when some one picked
up the lost card, and presented it to
the Duke, who wrote his order on the
back of it, and handed it to the officer;
The soldiers departed on their errand
of butchery, and SO well did they exc
cute the Dukes commands, that not
one of the devoted band of Highlanders
escaped death. Hence it is that the
nine of diamonds is called the curse OF
Scotland,

Defaulting Cashiers.

The cashier of E. O. Anderson & Co., bank
ers, Savannah, has disappeared, and deficit
of $15, 900 appears in his accounts.
This is a thrice-told tale daily, and
shows not only the vices of the tempted,
but often the neglect of their employ
ers. "Too much trusting, too much
betrayal of trust" might be made a
proverb; but this dishonesty has be-
come so common, and has gone SO far,
that it will be necessary for employers
to compel the giving of security by
clerks, as well as the severe punishment
of offenders. The giving of bonds will
prove difficult for strangers in strange
city, however innocent; but it is thus
the innocent often have to suffer for
the offenses of the guilty. The good life
and good habits of a clerk are his best
capital, and in the long run must lead
to advancement in pay, position, or a
share in profits. It is lamentable to
see how many fall from the four vices
of gambling, bad women, luxurious
and extravagant living, and living be-
yond ones means. No well brought up
and careful young man will throw him
self in the way of any of these tempta-
tions, or, once tempted, he will use all
the moral force of his character to es-
cape the snare. How far ambitious or
snowy wives, daughters and sons are
responsible for the evil complained of,
it would be difficult to say. But a
father should know the means he has,
and compel, if possible, his family to
live within them until something better
turns up. The world is before him for
better as it has been before others, and
with industry, honesty, and fair intelii-
gence, he cannot long fail to earn liv-
ing.
