a Cure for DiscOnIemI.

A Philadelphia gentleman became tired
of his house, which he had built for him
self in the country, and determined to sell
it. He instructed an auctioneer, famous
for his descriptive powers, to advertise ii in
the papers for private sale, but TO conceal
the location, telling persons to apply at
his office. In few days the gentleman
happened to see an advertisement was
pleased with the account of the place,
showed it TO his wife, and the two con-
cluded il was just what they wanted, and
they would secure it at once. So they
went to the office of the auctioneer, and
told him the place he had advertised was
such a one as he desired, and he would
purchase it. The auctioneer burst into Il
laugh, and told him that was the descrip-
ton of his own house where he was liv-
ing. He read the advertisement over
again, pondered over the grassy slopes,
{" beautiful vistas.' :" smooth lawn,
g fine garden, splendid fruit" good
neighborhood," etc, and broke out: els
it possible? Well, make out my bill for
advertising and expense-for / wouldn't
sell the place now for three times what il
cost me"

MOB LAW IN INDIANA.
A Negro Brute Outrage~ IN Lady
and is Hung for IL.
Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.

Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.
HANCOCK Co., June 26.
Not since the il-breaking days of Ru-
defer has the little town of Greenfield
been thrown into such a fever of excite
ment as that which has followed the lynch
ing of VIM. Kemmer, briefly mentioned
IN this mornings Gazette. Long before
daylight the whole village was astir, and
children fastened to the Fair Grounds,
where the black blute paid the penalty
of his damnable crime at the hands of an
Infatuated mob. As late as O'Clock the
body was still hanging, and the crowd
still feasting its eyes upon the sickening
sight. When at last it was cut down and
hauled into town upon dray, uncovered
and half naked, the crowd still followed
with jest and jeer. 1t was a CHASTITY,
beastly spectacle, but such a one as is
witnessed in a civilized community only
when crime becomes so bold and so dia-
bolical that the home is threatened and
those most dear within it.
THE CRIME AND CRIMINAL.
Last Thursday afternoon a desperate
negro, by the name of William kemmer,
passed the house of William Vaughn, in
Blue River Township, and noticing no
one at home but Mrs. Vaughn and her
little son, three or four years old, he dis
mounted, fastened his horse at the gate,
and entered without knocking. He found
Mrs. Vaughn, who was enceinte and near
the time of her confinement, lying upon
the bed, and, without so much as word
of warning, made an assault upon her
She resisted with all her strenth, and for
time successfully, but at last, worn out
and exhausted, she fell in swoon, when
the negro accomplished his hellish work.
During the struggle the little boy alarmed
his father, who was working in a neigh
boring field, with the announcement that
g somebody is killing mother. Mr..
Vaughn hurried home, and ascertaing
what had been done and who was the per
petrater, seized his revolver and started
in pursuit. AT one time he came within
shooting distance of him, and, as it was
afterward ascertained, shot the negro
through the ear. The brute, however,
succeeded in making good his escape,
but later in the day was arrested by the
Sheriff of Rush county, charged with
horse-stealing, and lodged in the Rush
county Jail.

Being placed in spring wagon, his
arms and legs were pinioned, and he was
hurried to the Fair Grounds, about a
mile east of town. Here rope, thrown
over a rafter in 'Floral Hail." was
hastily adjusted about his neck, and then,
for the first time, he was allowed to
speak. "Have you anything to say ?"
growled the leader, in hoarse and I'M
doubtedly feigDed voice. Nothing, ex-
cept that you are all doing wrong" re-
piled the negro. "Then drive on" said
the leader to the man in charge of the
wagon, and in another moment the negro
was dangling between heaven and earth.
In twenty-five minutes he was pronounced
dead,

putation he had won Of being the best
classical scholar turned out from the
University since the war.
Ii this day is not the commencement
OF career of usefulness and honor for
each one of the duodecimciri We are much
mistaken, and will never again predict
the future OF young man from the be-
ginning he makes. Most of them intend
to teacil-at least for several years.
The University now has all of its
chairs flied, and IS prepared to continue
with renewed vigor the god work it has
been doing for the State of Mississippi.

1t is an old saying that, " A poor be-
ginning makes a good ending" but l
believe that if We begin to serve the
Lord Alright We shall end right. But if
we fail in the beginning to separate our
selves wholly from the world; and fail
to get the baptism of the Holy Ghost
upon our souls, we will fail all the way
through, and will utterly fail at the end
of the race. More depends upon these
two things, whether we gain heaven or
not. than upon almost anything else
Conforming to the world is what kills
religion in the churches of the day. ii
we obey God in separating ourselves from
the world, we shall be likely to obey him
in all things else.Y = - s9- -.

WHAT MUST BE DONE.

Believing the continued success of the
Republican party to be conducive to the
sure and more speedy development of the
nation in its varied interests, upon the
achieved basis of human rights. | think
its presses and its leaders should now, in
the spirit of self-sacrifce, subordinate
their personal aspirations, rivalries and
ambitions, and welcome all to the ranks
with generous magnanimity, and SO leave
to reunited, recognized and reinspired
party, the selection, at the fitting time,
of its candidate for the President. They
should now forgive and forget, and by a
reformatory and generous policy, and by
the earnest and honest appeals for unity,
win back, in the elections of this autumn,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Califor-
MIA and Massachusetts. Successes so won
will assure national victory in 1876.
Such victory will give the republican
party, with its brilliant record for liberty
and union, grand opportunity to illus
trate the opening of the second century
of the Republic with glorious deeds.

THE SOUTH.

Having opposed the policy OF recon-
gtruction when adopted, 1t Is not surpris-
ing that the organ sees little or no progress
In the Southern States, and that 1t crIti-
cises me for expressing the opinion that
there has been progress and that there Is
a better feeling than heretofore. Having
been an anti-sIavery man for thirty-nlne
years and having read and thought much
Of Southern affairs, | examined with
some care the present condition of the
South. There have been unquestIonaD1y
mistakes, Encouragement and in some
cases corruption on the part Of those call
ed TO the high duty of working out the
practical problem of reconstruction In
those disordered and devastated Common
wealths. But with all these mistakes and
corrupt practices saw progress-slow, but
think sure Had a prophet at the close
of the war predicted that in the short
space of ten years there should happen
what has happened, few would have be-
lieved him. Then the colored race, Just
emancIpated, had neither property,
homes, education nor political or civil
rights. Now, though little accustomed
to habits of economy and thrift, 1t pos
sesses millions of property, has hundreds
of thousands of children in schools, has
been clothed with civil and political
rights, occupies high positions at home,
and has representatives in Congress.
Then the white race, with institutions,
industries and labor disorganized, unac-
customed to toll, disappointed, defeated,
we're careless alike of the rights of black
men and of the opinions Of their coun-
trymen. Now States, industries and in
stitutions have been reorganized, labor is
becoming more honorable and more uni
versal, the government is more respected,
the old flag is more loved, and the favor
able opinion of the Northern people more
highly appreciated. Much remains to be
done but beginning has been made,
and hopeful progress has been already
secured. There are yet INSCRIPTIONS
men who are seeking TO divide society
and parties upon the perilous line of race.
Enemies of their country, of mankind
and of God, these reckless men should
receive the sternest condemnation of the
patriot, the philanthropist and the Christ
ian. In spite, however, of all untOward
influences, there is unquestionably a
kindlier and better feeling pervading the
South. pity the head of that man who
does not see and comprehend it, and the
heart of him who does not acknowledge,
hail and welcome it, with gratitude to
God and with hope for humanity and the
nation.
