Il am making a long story of the
shooting, which in reality was very soon
over. They fired three shots apiece in
as many seconds. Toms third ball
passed through Moptana's heart, and
he was dead before his head rebounded
on the brick pa, ement. Carbcrry sur
rendered himself at once, and was kept
in jail until his trial came of, although
bail to any amount was offered"
After a pause the Judge added: al
don I see how I could have done more
for him than | did, but the man should
not have been punishel-he should
have been acquitted; and he would
have been but for one circumstance,
which prejudiced the court and jury
against him

ADuLrERArED TEA.-A writer in the
London Grocer undertakes to explain
the presence Of iron in tea imported
from China, by saying "that us mag,
netic oxide OF iron forms part Of the
soil of China, it would rise with the
dust Of the country, and, coming in
contact with the damp leaves, would
adhere to them when they were dried,
and thus make the dried leaves stick
to the magnet as if there were iron
Filings mixed up amongst them All
of which mpy be true. but what an ex-
ceedingly dusty time they must have
had in China when that chest of tea
was prepared of which forty-three per
cent Of the ,ceigM responded to the
call of the magnet when it was examln-
ed in England. There is hope Of re-
form, however. 1t will not take many
years to remove all the magnetic oxide
of iron in the soil of China, If, ss last
year, ten million pounds of this dust
got sent each year to England alone.

The PRUSsIAY ELECTION SYSTEM
Some peculiar;teS distinguish the Prus-
sian election system. The country is
divided into districts, sending to the
Chamber according to population.
either three or SIX deputies No dis
trict, therefore, can have less than
seven hundred and fifty inhabitants ncr
more than seventeen hundred and forty
nine, and the districts are formed by
dividing one ofthose that have many,
or by combining several Of those that
have few inhabitians. The voters arc
lividcd into three classes, the rich, who
pay one-third Of the taxes; the weIl-to-
10, who pay another third; and the
comparatively poor, who pay the rest
As each class elects its own delegate,
i is evident that the few who compose
the first division have an equal share OF
influence with the many who compose
the second and the multitude who make
mp the third Political power i, thus
Practically prorortioncd to the stake

THE sentiments expressed by
President Grant In connection with
the programme for Decoration Day
at Baltimore, will be applauded by
everyAmerican citizen who sincerel-
ly seeks the welfare of his country.
The time has come when the bitter
and deadly animosities engendsred
by the rebellion shonld be Obliter-
ated. Nothing will 60 farther in
restoring fraternal relations be
tween the north and south than the
public exhibition Of respect In
honor of the men whose lives were
sacrificed in that ~fratracidai strife.
The touching memorial of Elaboration
Day should no longer be desecrated
by discrimination between the
graves of the patriotic heroes
who fought and died for the
preservation of the Union and
the brave heroes who, in their mis-
taken zeal to perpetuate slavery,
persisted on the battle field, i'm de-
tense of s'the lost cause" 1t is to be
hoped the day is not distant, when
the survivors of the rebellion, North
and South, viii inaugurate mutual
reconciliation by agreeing upon the
same decoration day.
There certainly can be good reas-
on for perpetuating animosities by
keeping up one decoration day fol
Union soldiers, and another for the
Confederate dead, ten years aftel
the war has closed.

Vasquez-I had just taken off my
revOlvers and set my rifle down to

dinner, when the first alarm came.
I had no time for arming myself. l
saw the wagon coming up the road,
but didn't pay any attention to it.
Al no time before, since the RapettO
affair have l been unprepared to
fight. I have robbed for twenty
wears, but 1 have never killed any
body, and 1 think they might have
given me q show. Tiled up twenty
men at Coyote Holes, and though a
man shot and wounded me there, /
did not take his life, though l might
have done it easily, for l had him
at my mercy. l regret being taken
in this way, for l always expected
to sell my life dearly. Now, ! sup
pose, 1 will be hung up like a dog"
At this point Vasquez intimated
that he was tired, and the in
terview terminated.

that after / was posted at the north

Hartley, johnson and Bryant passed
around the east corner of the house.
Harris, looking across the angle, saw
a man sitting on the table in the
little kitchen. Harris, Hartly and
Johnson reached the door first, and
the woman discovering their ap-
preach, sprang toward the door
with O~utstretched hands, and at
tempted to close 1t. Harris pried it
open with the muZzle of his gun in
time to see Vasquez go flying
through the narrow opening in the
south end of the wing, and instantly
fired. The four men sprang around
the end of the building and caught
sight of the astonished outlaw at
nearly the same moment that he
sprang toward his horse, only to
find himself confronted by me. At
the same instant Rogers sprang
upon him from the west. The
firing was simultaneous. He threw
up his hands, exclaiming: Don't
shoot; you needn't shoot, you've
got me-" Harris said, "COme

with the party around the building.
On the way he repeated, "You,

ANOTHER historical event takes
place at the White House to-day.
We refer to the wedding Of Miss
Nellie Grant to q British Million
aire. 1t is, we believe, the first in
stance on record where the daugh-
ter Of an American President was
married during the Presidential
term of her father. 1t Is also the
Arst instance where the daughter Of
an American President has married
. foreigner. The last wedding In
the White House, II memory serve
Us correctly, was that OF
President Buchanan's niece, Miss
Harriet Lane, in 1880. Although it
hss been announced that Miss
Grants wedding is not to bel State
amir, ths extraordinary prepare
lions for the occasion, and the al
most regal programme for the bridal
tour, have q decided tendency to
give the affair an official character.
While Mr.. Sartoris and his bride
doubtless have a perfect right to
make - Much display as their pc
euniary means will warrant, 1t is
70 be deplored thst their marriage
inaugurates q striking departure
from the pure democratic simplicity
which has heretofore, and should
hereSfter, remain the marked fea-
ture of the American character.
