PARIS, June 1.-THE Assembly passed
the Educational bill by majority Of 81.
A Negro Brutally Murders his
WIFI.


INDIANAPOLIS, June 17.-This morning
about 0 o'clock Jerry Monroe, colored,
murdered his wife In cold blood by beat.
Ing out her brains with a monkey wrench.
It seems that Monroe and his wife were
formerly slaves at Richmond, Va, and
after the war found their way TO this city.
They had no children, but lived happily
together until two months since, when the
husband suddenly became jealous Of his
wife, owing to an intimacy which had
sprung up between her and one John
Maftinta colored hod carrier. This led
10 repeated quarrels until finally the wife
sought and obtained divorce on the
ground OF cruelty. The enraged negro
then made such threats that his
wife, alarmed for her safety, changed her
place OF residence to laundry on Mar.
ket street. Here the brute found her
this morning, and while she was leaning
over a wash.tub he sprang upon her and,
as before stated, literally beat. her brains
out with monkey.wtehch which he had
brought with hin for that purpose. The
prupfietfess Of the laundry attempted to
stay the bloody work, but SeiEing her by
the throat, he held her at arms length
with one hand and continued his blows
upon the senseless Mrs. Monroe with the
other. The appearance OF an officer upon
the scene, however, put an end to
the murdefous attack, but not until
the skull had been broken In dozen
places and her face literally mashed to d
Ielly. The brute was taken to the station
house amid the hoots and jeers OF the In.
iuFiated mob, who threatened to lynch him
unless the law does It's work. The deceased
was SO years old, and a member Of the
colored Baptist Church, and among her
neighbors esteemed a good woman. Her
murderer IL 50 years ole, stoutly built,
with a small head, bull neck, ugly eve
and an III shaped mouth and nose. He
looks like brute. When visited in Jail
two hours after his arrest, and told that
his wife was dead he exhibited little emo
lion, but expressed the belief that he
woul be hung.

They had a conference at Cadiz the
other day Of persons interested In the
construction Of narrow.gauge railroad
from Bellaire via. 81. ClairSville to Cadiz,
and thence on to the Panhandle road.
According TO the Dellairc Independent all
present agreed that narrow.gauge rail-
way from Bellaire, through Cadiz, and
thence to the Lakes, is "a contamination
devoutly to be wiShed," ," and all expressed
confidence in the ability Of the region TO
be trayersed by II to construct II. The
meeting was unanimously Of the opinion
that II Ia desirable that the people on the
line Of the proposed road shall themselves
organize a company for the construction
Of the road. A resolution, offered by
Col. pearce, was adopted, naming Henry
Boyles, Ephrium Clark, Rev. DR.. W. NJ
Grimes and John Conwell to act with a
like committee to he appointed from Bel.
mont county, to meet and confer upon The
most practicable plan to organize and sci
in motion the enterprise.
Belmont county will appoint a like
committee at an early day, and soon
thereafter meeting will be held, when
itis confidently hoped the matter will be
presented to the people interested In a
practical and busincss.llke way.
This road can be built II some person

The valedictorian Of the class, Miss

TIE recent rapid development Of The

pattively unknown until within recent

Directly the frosts will be upon us, aud those
who expect windows bright with leafsge and
bloom when the storms are abroad, must pre-
pare for it now. First note what windowroom
you can take without defrauding yourself or

most desirable for flower or fragrance. Refot
plants that have been sunk in borders during
the summer, cut back long branches and remove
struggling ones. When the earth is hard and
the roots matted, soak the ball in tepd water
for u few moments till the earth can be gently
washed out with the jngers, return to the same
pot with good earth, press this firmly about the
roots stand in the shade aid water very SPAR
ingly until new growth appears. II you wish to
remove plants from the open ground, prune SD
verely. When to the novice they seem to be
ruined they are about right. Lift them in the
| evening (ths id important, transpating done
after four p. M, at any season, Id FAR more sue
cessfu than earlier i'll the day,) gently shake the
earth from the roots and place in pots just large
| enough for the roots, without undue crowdlng.
| Treat as directed above. But pot-grown plants,
| even if small, are greatly preferable TO those
| taken from the open ground.
Do not fill up the windows with cOleus, achy-
| ranthus and oGer so-called foliage plants. Un-
less you can keep up a tropical temperature, I'M
fit Tor human beings they will drop their leaves

of maintaining the Democratic banner " fdli

must not redeem the promise, made on their
face. and by every Republican always meant to
be kept, Of "paying" them.
The article in Senator Saulsbury's organ to
which We allude is but one more indication how
loosely Democratic principles are worn upon
the sleeve Of many who profess them, and how
quickly they are put out of sight at the threat
that their exhibition may not be advantageous
The sound and fury of Allen and Gary in Ohio
have caused general shrinking and covering,
not only in Pennsylvania but In other States,
even such a hard-money paper as the Boston
Post showing signs Of weakness. Messrs. Tilden
and Bayard, seeing that their personal fortunes
are on the hazard Of the Ohio result, and that
they can only hold prominent position in the
line Of Presidential contestants by the defeat of
Allen, maintain their ground and are striving to
rally the disordered masses of their party, who
after the inhationist triumph at Erie, were ready
to break into Bull Run retreat from the hard
money position. The New York and Delaware
leaders are in this acting wisely, no doubt in
fact to do otherwise would be madness.
We call the Delawarean's attention to few
facts, as follows ~ While it is true that the
