EVIDENCE ACCUMULATING

CoNCoEp, Oct. 26. The evidence

tent that Attorney -Gcneral Clark has
summoned the Grand Jury. who were
only excused. not dismissed. to assem-

upon his case. One of the detective
officers states that they have evidence
which positively locates Lcpagc in or

WAS committed within ten minutes ot
the time Josie Langmaid waS last seen
alive, and that the evidence in general
against him is ample Ia secure an in

Among the PERSONS brought to this

Pistols for the Women.

"A lady" in the New York indie
pendent, advises women who dwell III
terror from tranka, in secluded Iesi-
dences, to procure each a pistol; and
practice steadily with it. She says to
her lady readers:
You think YOU would not dare to
shoot at Il wicked man entering Your
premises for plumber or other mischief.
Perhaps not but the man would not
dare to come if he knew You could
handle il pistol and if one, indeed,
should he so bold. the sight of your
weapon and the click of the lock would
not be welcomed. Some gentle woman
may say this is preposterouS advice. y
woman could not he So hard-hearted
and so cruel, or overcome her natural
timidity and learn to Use firearms.
Some man MAY Shudder at the thought
of his wife or daughter using il revolver
OF Scotf at the courage of the sex. But
Is 1t hard-hearted to prevent crime ana
allay terror? Does it require more
courage to fire off IL gun OF pistol than
to live III daily and hourly expectation
of an mwelcome visitor a woman
hands are Skilful not nearly so clumsy
us il mans Why should not she learn
to use IL pistol with safety and dexter
ity? And as for courage, that does not
depend on sex, but on temperament
and education. Some men are us tImld
as IL flwn and some women as bold as
lion. If the law is inadequate to the
protection of our homes and to tlis Sc
curing of comfort in our families, each
house must he IL castle and the jewellers
therein its defenders.

THE coLORED EDITORS AT CINCINNATI


We have read with pleasure the pro-
ceedings OF the convention of colored edi-
tors at Cincinnati, and return the thanks
OF the Republicans Of Louisiana for the
kindly tenor of public sentiment which
has welcomed and. entertained their mem.
bers of the convention.
There is grave responsibility resting
upon all who have in any sense aided in
the emancipation of these millions. There
was to have been anticipated withdraw.
al OF interest on the part of the South,
and even manifestation of hostility to
the freedmen. 1t is true that the uniform
order and usefulness which has succeeded
emancipation has abated much of this
hostility and even acknowledged a re-
newed obligation to aid and protect,
but as it would be in vain to strike off the
manacles of prisoner, and leave him to
death or recapture, so the agencies of
those who have SO nobly given freedom
to the slave should be extended to pre-
pare and sustain him in the strife which
is around and before him.
We therefore express our qualification at
the kindly reception extended to the COL
ored editors assembled in council, and
trust that it is the harbinger of continued
aid until the freedman shall sand on
the granite plane of individual equality.
In these views We do not alone relv
upon the philanthropic duty to sustain
neophytes in the elementary stage of
political and industrial development; we
repeat the great responsibility of any fail
ure, either in the fact or the grade of pro-
gress.
The report of professional success made
by the editors shows how much has been
already effected. 1t shows also the high
standard which has been erected, and
thereby indicates the strenuous efforts
necessary to reach and sustain that stand

People about to establish SUMMER resorts
for the hot weather trade should make a
good iron spring and publish an analysis of
the water. Iron springs are made by dig
ging wells, and, after pumps are placed,
nearly filling the wells with iron hoops and
cast off scraps Of the rusted metal. Visitors
never fail to taste decided flavor of iron.
Ice will not be needed at hotel having
iron springs. Ice destroys the effect of the
iron. and, besides that, it costs money. The
iron spring is perpetual. and can be run
much cheaper than sulphur spring in re
gions where birthstone has to be constantly
added to keep up the sulphur taste. Other
mineral springs are more or less expensive
and dirty.
