Horrible Fratricide.

This afternoon, says the Cincinnati
Times of the Goth 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
and William Moran, brothers, over so
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 a few minutes came to
blows. 1t was an old difficulty, a repe-
tition of a 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 a circle around the trio to
see it out. William was soon knocked
down, and, while his brothers showered
a 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 a quarrelsome, bad man, a ter
ror among the terrible men of the place,
but the enormity of his taking-off has
stricken the stolid natures of the horse
sharps with horror, and the scene of the
sickening tragedy wears a peculiar air Of
grimness tonight that even the habitue'
of the region do not care to disturb. Or
the same spot, a few years ago, a mai
was Drained with a chair in the hands O
a drunken householder. A recollection
of that tragedy gives peculiar emphasis
to the slaughter of Moran.

the Captain had previously spread a
tablecloth, and, followed by the ladies,
was deposited beside the body of Red.
Half an hour later, the men placed
Black In the other coffin, removed both
to the side.of the grave, and signaled the
boat.
CHOW, ladies and gentlemen" said
the Captain.
The Judge appeared, with a very
solemn face, his coat buttoned tight to
his throat, and the party started. Col
onel May, of Missouri, who read Vol,
taire and didn't believe in anything, ma
iciously took the Judges arm, and re-
marked:
"You didn't finish your story,
Judge"
The Judge frowned r~eprovingly.
"But, really" persisted the Colonel,
ST don't want curiosity to divert my
mind from the solemn services about to
take place. Do tell me if they ever
caught the ~rascals."
"They never did," replied the Judge.
"The Sheriff hunted and advertised,
but he could never hear q word of either
of them. But I'd know either one OF
them at sight. Sh-h-h-here we are
at the grave"
The passengers, officers, and crew
gathered about the grave. The Judge
removed his hat, and, as the Captain un'
covered the faces of the dead, com
menced:

The Steamship Dakota.

The new Williams & Guion steamship
Dakota, sister ship to the Montana, Of
which extended mention has been made
in these columns, arrived at this port on
Saturday, on her first voyage from Liver,
pool. She is of the same peculiar, and
withal handsome model as the Montana,
1926 feet long, As feet beam, and IS feet
depth of hold. The Dakota can steam
sixteen knots an hour, and has accom-
mediation for 80 cabin and 1,500 steer
age passengers. She is commanded by
Capt. Forsyth, and sails hence on the
10Th inst.
The Dakota made her initial TRIP
across the Atlantic in less than nine
days, and did not steam at full speed

Insanity In the Sexes.

A contributor to the The Popular
Science Monthly says We obtained an
idea of love ~differentially as it exists in
the exc by observing the degree to
which it affects men and women as a
probable of insanity. In the same
manner, 1 think, we can gain a 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 Is a probable cause of
mental alienation. For my purpose I
shall use DR.. Kirkbride's report for the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.
The analysis is based upon the supposed
causes Of insanity in $3.50 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 aus Fright resulted
in insanity in 16 men and 36 women ;
grief affected II men and 256 women, a
difference of more than three to one !; re-
hgious excitement acts as the cause in
70 men and 127 women, a difference of
sixty-two per cent. nostalgia, z women
and no men from mental anxiety there
are 164 men and 261 women insane.
These causes, which present such dissim-
ilarity, have one bond of union /; they
affect the emotional part of the physical
nature. From this I 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. If I an
right in this, we would expect to see IL
women the emotional forms of insanity
developed in excess of men and this i
just what we find. Continuing to analyzt
the tables of DIR. Kirkbride relating tt
the same cases as above, we find the
number of women to be 1920, the mum
Der of men exceeding them by 459 ant
yet there are 1,032 cases of melancholii
among the women to $50 in men. Prof
Maudsley defines this form of ~insanit,
as "great oppression in their s~elf-feeling
with corresponding gloomy, morbit
idea"

The Accident to Edwin Booth.

Monday morning, Mr.. Booth, who
had as his guest DIR. Kellogg, Superin-
tendendent of the State Insane Asylum
at Poughkeepsie, started for Stamford,
with the double purpose of exercising
his horses and enabling his guest to adj
mire the picturesque scenery of a four
mile drive. He had selected for the
work his favorite marc Nellie and her
colt, and, taking the lines, he turned
their heads in the direction of Stamford.
They travelled at a good pace, and ex-
hibited no signs of restlessness. As
they began to descend Richmond Hill,
| within a mile of Stamford village, the
headstall of the colt broke, and Mr..
Booth became unable to guide or check
the team. The colt naturally became
frightened, and started down the hill at
a break-neck rate of speed, carrying
along her more sedate mate. Mr.. Booth
was quickly thrown against a telegraph
pole with great force, and rendered tenn
porarily insensible. DR.. Kellogg man.

endeavor to check the speed of Nellie
and her colt, but was unsuccessful. He,
too, was thrown out, and received severe
cuts on the head, front and back. His,
injuries, however, were but slight, and
when the villagers came out and assisted
in the removal of the two wounded gen
tlemen to Mr.. Booths residence, the
Doctor was SO far convalcscent that he
declined assistance and asked them to
aid the great actor.
Mr.. Booth wa carefully lifted, while
still in an insensible condition, from the
rosdside and carried to his home at Coz
Cob. He spoke for the first time upor
his arrival home, when he asked for hi

nized them. Mr.. Booths injuries ar,

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 were
duly offered to the highest bidder at
public outcry at the front door of the
Courthouse. This kind of property
does not seem to be in much demand, at
least when offered in q public way.
Mary was first presented. She stood up
before the glaring crowd with the non
chalance of a brazen statue. The luz
tioneer spoke ~eloqoently of her valuable
qualities, but did not receive a bid.
Mary retired apparently disguised. Ida
then came forward with agile step and
smiling face. The officer again and
again asked, elbow much" After COM
plimentary remarks to several gentle
men, Ida pointed to Bud Fagg, and said:
"That's the fellow I 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

learned that the sale embraced the whole

A Mothers lave.


A%touching story of the late inundation
in France comes through a letter to the
New York Tribune:
A young mother is awakened by the
inundation. She has two children, twins
at the breast, adorable little girls. The
water invades her house /; it is night, and
the hour is full of terror. The hus-
band takes care of himself and
mounts on the roof. But the woman
thinks only of her children /; she ties
them to her breast with a scarf, and, as
she is about to swim from the house she
thinks that the bread-trough will serve
as a boat. The house is tottering rs the
mother embarks in her frail boat. She
is scarcely out of the house when it goes
to pieces. The husband disappears in
the ruins. The little boat floats away,
but strikes against q tree and is over
turned. The poor woman seizes a branch
and climbs into the tree with the strength
of a lioness fighting for her young. But
the tree is young ; it bends; it will not
hold all three. The mother sees that the
end has come, but her motherhood isnot
conquered. She ties her children to the
strongest branch, she kisses them again
and again, she signs them with the sign
of the cross, and cries, "To the mercy
of God!" This piteous drama was wit

A CHINESE STORY.

In Noshiroan's reign It's told
How a certain person sold
To another for fair pay
A good piece of land. One day
Aftervard the buyer found,
While a-plOwing up his ground,
Buried snugly under earth,
Gold and gems Of muckle worth.
In a casket stout they lay,
Locked from worm and rust away.
Never pillow before, 1 wis,
Turned up aught SO choice as this;
Never plower of such prize
Scanned it with so honest eyesi
Did q finder gloat by stealth
Der his unexpected wealth?
And in worthy hiding-place
Hoard as heirloom for his race?
Did he sell it-liker yet
For the best price he could get?
Rather, straightway hurried he
With it to the seller. "Seei
Bring I thee this treasure fine,
Digged up yonder; take, tits thine"
But the latter answered.: "No;
When we traded SO and so,
/ to thee the whole held sold
With whatever 1t might hold.n
"Not at all" contends the other,
"I 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 beftted,
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 a sequel sly,
This quaint touch of poetry:
Folk declared the purchased field
Did that year at harvest yield
Mammoth ear 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.

Single VS.. Married Life,

The Winona OIinn.) 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 it costs less to feed two mouths than
one will find himself badly plucked. The
economical theory of marriage is a good
deal like the notion of the Irishman who,
when advised to buy a 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
it,"

Advertising Pays.

A Washington dispatch says: The
bids for furnishing Internal Revenue
stamps were opened to-day. The results
were very anomalous. Several firms
offered to do the engraving for nothing.
The firm which now has the contract
offers to pay the government $1,000
monthly for the privilege of furnishing
them free to the government. Thisis a
curious illustration of the advantages of
advertising. The firm which is now doing
the work is satisfied that the advertise.
ment is worth 50, 100 monthly, beside
the cost of the material. The law per
mits tine engravers to affix their imprint
to every stamp. The law requires the
Commissioner to award the contract t.
the lowest bidder. He is in doubt
whether the firm, which wants to pay
for doing the work is, under the law, tho
lowest bidder.
