Horrible Fratricide.

This afternoon, says the Cincinnati
Times OF the 10th of August, the horse
auction market on Fifth street was the
scene OF the most shocking fratricide
that has ever occurred in the history of
the city. The actors in the tragedy
were Thomas Moran, Nicholas Moran
anu William Moran, brothers, over 80
years OF age and heads of families.
During the settlement of business for
the day these men, horse-sharps in every
sense of the term, became involved in a
quarrel, and IN few minutes came TO
blows. 1t was an old difficulty, rope
tition OF wrong on the part of William
Moran, which drew down upon him the
vengeance of his exasperated brothers.
The big crowd of horsemen and loafers
sympathized with Thomas and Nicholas.
and formed circle around the trio to
see 1T out. William was soon knocked
down, and, while his brothers showered
torrent of oaths terrific to hear, they
literally kicked his skull to pieces, and
only desisted when the poor, bleeding
form that was their brother ceased to
breathe. In all the crowd not one offered
to interfere to prevent the shocking
deed, but, when it was over, the police
appeared and arrested the fratricides.
Tonight they are in the police-station,
crying because their brother is dead.
He was quarrelsome, bad man, ter
ror among the terrible men of the place,
but the enormity of his taking-off has
stricken the stohd natures of the horse
sharps with horror, and the scene of the
sickening tragedy wears peculiar air of
grimness tonight that even the habitues
of the region do not care to disturb. On
the same spot, few years ago, man
was Drained with chair in the hands OF
a drunken householder. A recollection
OF that tragedy gives peculiar emphasis
to the slaughter of Moran.

Insanity in the Sexes.

A contributor to the The POpuLar
Science MonthLy says We obtained an
idea of love diiferentially as it exists in
the sexes by observing the degree to
which it affects men and women as
probable cause of insanity. In the same
manner, L think, we can gain knowl-
edge of the comparative intensity with
which emotions and states of conscious
ness, common to both sexes, exist in in
tellection, by observing the extent to
which they react as probable cause of
mental alienation. For my purpose /
shall use DIR. Kirkbride's report for the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.
The analysis Is based upon the supposed
causes of insanity i'll $500 cases. Do
nestle difficulties are the probable causes
of mental disease in forty-seven men and
eighty-six women. Nearly two to one
expresses the difference in intensity in
the action of this cause. Fright resulted
i'll insanity in 16 men and 36 women
grief affected n men and 256 women, q
difference of more than three to one re-
hgious excitement acts as the cause in
70 men and 127 women, difference of
sixty-two per cent; nostalgia, women
and no men from mental anxiety there
are 164 men and 261 women insane.
These causes, which present such dissim-
larity, have one bond of union they
affect the emotional part of the physical
nature. From this would not conclude
that women are less able to bear the
operation of these exciting causes than
men but that the emotional nature of
woman is more largely developed, and
thus more exposed to the action of such
causes as directly affect it. III / am
right in this, we would expect to see in
women the emotional forms of insanity
developed in excess of men and this is
just what we find. Continuing to analyze
the tables of DR.. Kirkbride relating to
the same cases as above, we find the
number of women to be 3, 900, the num-
Der of men exceeding them by 459; and
yet there are 1902 cases of melancholia
among the women to 1872 in men. Prof.
Maudsley defines this form of insanity
as "great oppression in their self-feeling,
with corresponding gloomy, morbid
idea.

Two White Women Sold for Five Cents.

The sale of the two miserable crea-
lures, Mollie Mitchell and Ida Jones,
alias Lask, did not take place according
to the announcement made some weeks
ago, on account of their being non est
when the time arrived. They turned up
a few days since, and this morning We're
duly offered to the highest bidder at
public outcry Mt the front door of the
Courthouse. This kind of property
does not seem to be in much demand, at
least when offered in public way.
Mary was first presented. She stood up
before the glaring crowd with the non
chalance of brazen statue. The auc-
tioneer spoke eloqoently of her valuable
qualities, but did not T. ceive a bid.
Mary retired apparently disguised. Ida
then came forward with agile step and
smiling face. The officer again and
again asked, Chow much 2" After COM
plimentary remarks to several gentle
men, Ida pointed to Bud Fagg, and said :
"Thats the fellow l want to go with. :"
Bud bid five cents. No one seemed
willing to advance on this, and she was
knocked down to him. He borrowed a
nickel from Judge -, and took pos
session of his property. Bud only in
tended to buy one, but subsequently
learned that the sale embraced the whole

Home and Foreign Trade.

The detailed statement of imports and
exports for the year ended June 80,
1875, has just been issued by the Board
of Statistics at Washington. Compared
with the preceding fiscal year marked
falling off in the aggregates of our for
eign and domestic trade is shown. The
total value of imports for the year was
1858, 906, 253, a falling off of nearly S42,-
100000 compared with the preceding
year. OF the merchandise imported,
$167, 1904 was non-dutiable, leaving
1886, 725, 500 to pay $156, 479, 131 collect
ed from customs last year. The de-
crease in gold coin imported was So, 49,
313, and in silver coin, S2,205, 916. Dur
ing the year the excess of gold coin ex-
ported, compared with 1874, was $780,
542, S27, and silver coin $3.50, 252, which
shows a loss in coin for the last fiscal
year of over 500, 100000,

A TRAGIC sTnRY.

There lived a sage In days OF yore,
And he a handsome pig-tail wore
But wondered much and sorrowed more
Because it hung behind him.
He unused upon this curious case,
And swore he'd change the pig-tail place,
And have IL hanging at his face,
Not dangling there behind him.
SAYS he, "The mystery I've found
nj turn me round" He turned him ro,ind
But still il clung behind him.
Then round and round, and out and IN,
All day the puzzled sage did spin
In vain; 1t mattered not pin;
The pg-tail hung behind him.
And right and left, and round about,
Aud up and down and in and out,
lie turned but still the pig-tail stout
Hung steadily behind him.
And though his efforts never slack,
And though lac twist and twirl, and tack,
Alasi still faithful 10 his back,
The pig-tail hangs behind him

A CHINESE STORY.

In Noshiroan's reign tits told
How a certain person sold
To another for fair pay
A good piece Of land. One day
Afterward the buyer found,
While a-plowing mp his ground,
Buried snugly under earth,
Gold and gems of muckle worth.
In casket stout they lay,
Locked from worm and rust away.
Never pillow before, l wis,
Turned up aught SO choice as this;
Never plower Of such prize
Scanned IL with so honest eyes!
DID our finder gloat by stealth
Ger ais unexpected wealth:
And in worthy hiding-place
Hoard as heirloom for his race?
Did he sell it liker vet =
For the best price he could get?
Rather, straightway hurried he
With II 10 the seller. See!
Bring | thee this treasure fine,
Dgged up yondor; take. It's thine"
But the latter answered: mo;
When we traded so and so,
/ To thee the whole field sold
With whatever IL might hold"
"Not at all, contends the other,
81 bought but the soil, my brother;
What's beneath, a fool could see,
Must of right belong to thee"
Thus both argued pro and con
To no purpose; whereupon,
To the Emperor, as bctitted,
They the case, at length submitted;
Who, in his judicial pleasure,
Hit upon the following measure:
"Let the son and daughter twain
OF these rarely virtuous men
Each to other welded be,
And the treasure theirs" quoth he.
Which device, the story goes,
Brought their quarrel TO a close;
Adding, in sequel sly,
This quaint touch of poetry:
Folk declared the purchased field
Did that year at harvest yield
Mammoth ears of corn, the which
Still in cabinets Of the rich
For their bigness cherished be
Miracles of husbandry;
Nature plainly wanting share
In so generous an affair.

A Queer Character.

A singular character was that OF Sim
con Bouffard, the famous ''rag-r ickers'
banker" who recently died at Pm is Mt
the age of 80. For forty years his | usi-

pickers at Is per cent. interest, takin9
rags as security. In this way he had
amassed fortune of several thousand
pounds. His only companions We're a

the cat was playing with his head, and
the monkey had on his cap and specta-
cles. Having no relatives, Simeon's tor

Single vs.. Married Life.

The Winona (Minn.) Republican
makes the following sensible suggestion
relative to the comparative cost of single
and married life: "Any young gander
who goes into matrimony in the belief
that 1T costs less to feed two mouths than
one will find himself badly plucked. The
economical theory of marriage is good
deal like the notion of the freshman who,
when advised to buy certain stove be-
cause it would save half the ordinary ex-
pense Of fuel, thought it would be better
TO buy two of them and save the hull OF
il. ,"

The Right Kind Of a Carpet.Baeser.

On the streets of every city snd town in the
United States you meet numbers of substan
tisl spring wagons, drawn by large, fat horses
and labeled III gilt letters, adams Express
Co." Forty years ago, more or less, a young
man named Alvin Adams invested his capital
in carpet-bag and began the express bust
ness, carrying small packages between the
| city of New York and the neighboring towns
and villages.
From that humble beginning sprang the
present Adams Express Company, which now
| carries its operations everywhere throughout
the United States, and does an annual bust
ness OF many millions. Mr.. Adams retired
from active business some years ago with the
fortune of prince, and now lives in royal
style in the neighborhood of Boston. His
home is thus described by correspondent of
the Boston Journal:
"One of the sights of this region is the ele-
CANT home of Alvin Adams. Strangers who
visit Boston make it "a point to visit these
grounds. The mansion, with its surround
ings and the magnificent view to be had from
its tower, has no equal in New England. 1t
is not only fitted up with great elegance and
taste, but it is thrown open to the world
The picture-gallery is very celebrated, and
men of taste make it point to visit the rare
and costly paintings before they leave Bos-
ton. The mansion stands in lawn in the
English style. It is part of the
hundred and fifty acres which COM
prise Mr. Adams place. The stables have
no superior. His horses are worth looking
at. and his herd of blooded cattle, sixty in
number, are very attractive. The lawn is or
namented with forest trees and laid out in
gardens of great beauty with exquisite taste.
One day of the week the mansion, the pic
ture-gallery, and the gardens are thrown open
to the public. Three hundred visitors is a
common number, and the company have
reached as high as seven hundred day To
add to the Enjoyment of visitors, a novel in
strument called an pedestrian. which without
human hands plays over fifty operas and
popular airs, furnishes the music for the
public"
The brilliant success which crowned the en- |
terprise of Alvin Adams sometimes almost |
tempts us to buy carpet-bag and start an |
express business; but it takes so internally |
long to place such business on a paying |
basis and make it yield sufficient fortune |
with which to retire a la Adams in otto cum |
Dig, that we shrink-we hesitate-we don't |
know whether to do it or not. - Courier

Attention is called by the Baltimore Ameri-

In Tate county gathered AZ bushels and 8 |
pecks OF one acre, and he lexpects the 20 |
acres that he had in wheat will yield 400 |
bushels. A neighbor of his says that his |
crop will turn out "a bushels and peck to |
the acres Both Of these crops are largely |
above the average yield for the whole country, |
which is about 16 bushels. There was so |
large wheat crop raised in Tate county, and |
the planters are so elated with their success,
that several new Touring mills are being
erected in that locality.
