On the War-Path.

When Mrs. B. went home from shop
ping yesterday, she entered upon scene
of thrilling horror being enacted in the
back yard.
In the center of the yard dry-goods
box was in flames and the baby was ly-
ing in front of it squalling Justify from
heat and fright. Down behind the cur
rant bushes were two of the neighbor-
hood boys, skulking around with paint

and bows in their hands, while her hope
full son had on his fathers moccasins,
his cap turned wrong side out upon his
head, and an old army gun in his hand.
He was creeping along with evident muir

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
and 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 a few minutes came to
blows. It was an old difficulty, repe-
tition OF wrong on tine 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 it 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-of has
stricken the stolid 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 a chair in the hands of
a drunken householder. A recollection
of that tragedy gives peculiar emphasis
! to the slaughter of Moran.

Insanity i'm the Sexes.

A contributor to the The PopuzcJ,.
Science Monthly says We obtained an
idea of love differentially as it exists in
the sexes by observing the degree to
which it affects men and women as a
probable cause of insanity. In the same
manner, / 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 as probable cause of
mental alienation. For my purpose I
shall use DIR. Kirkbride's report for the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.
The analysis is based upon the supposed
causes of insanity In $500 cases. Do
nestle difficulties are the probable causes
of mental disease in forty seven men and
eighty-six women. Nearly two to zone
expresses the, difference in. intensity In
the action of this cause. Fright resulted
In insanity in 16 men and 36 women :;
grief affected " men and 256 women,
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, 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 / 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. Ii / 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 DIR. Kirkbride relating to
the same cases as above, we find the
number of women to be 1920, the num-
Der of men exceeding them by 459; and
yet there are 1,032 cases of melancholia
among The women to 832 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

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 public way.
Mary was first presented. She stood up
before the glaring crowd with the non
chalance of a brazen statue. The auo

There lived sage in days of yore,
And he handsome pig-tail wore
But wondered much and sorrowed more
Because it hung behind him.

And swore he'd change the pig-tail place,
And have it hanging at his face,
Not dangling there behind him.
SAYS he, "The mystery I've found

But still it chung behind him.
Then round and round, and out and in,
All day the puzzled sage did spin
In vain; it ynattered not pin;
The pig-tail hung behind him.

And up and down and in and out,

And though he twist. and twirl, and tack,
Alas still faithful to his back,

The Winona CMinn.) 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 good
deal like the notion of the Irishman who,
when advised to buy certain stove be-

pense of fuel, thought it would be better
to buy two of them and save the hull OF

A CHINESE STORY.

In Noshiroan's reign tbs told
How certain person sold
To another for fair pay
A good piece Of land. One day
Afterward the buyer found,
While a-plowing up his ground,
Buried snugly under earth,
Gold and gems Of muckle worth.
In casket stout they lay,
Looked from worm and rust away.
Never pillow before, wis,
Turned up aught so choice as this;
Never plower Of such prize
Scanned it with so honest eyes!
Did our finder gloat by stealth
Ger 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. !" See!
Bring 1 thee this treasure fine,
Digged up yonder; take, it's thine"
But the latter answered: "No;
When we traded so and so,
I 10 thee the whole field sold
With whGteVer it might hold.n
Not at all, y contends the other,
q I bought but the soil, my brother;
What's beneath, fool could see,
Must Of right belong to thee"
Thus both argued pro and con
To no purpose; vhereupon,
TO the Emperor, as befitted,
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 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 Singular prison romance has just

Jones has for six years been confined
for the murder of her cousin, sentence
having been pronounced Oh her own
confession. Her father was executed
tor the same crime, Notwithstanding
the declaration Of the girl that she
alone had committed the deed. and
that he was not glilty-indeed knew
nothing of the murder. She has now
atlmittetl-what has always been gem
orally believed by the public. but by
herself strenuously denietl-that her
father was the murderer, and that she
had accused herself of his crime TO
shield him. and at his desire. She
took no part IN the crime, and was not
aware of its commission till her father
told her he had done il and isaplored
her to save him-a task which, she
devoutly attempted de,ersisted in
after it was hopeless.
