A Dreadful Murder,

A Spanish gardener, named Segondo,
has confessed to having murdered M.
Blanque, the provost of religious col
lege at Prades, his object being to OBJ
tain from the successor of the murdered
man tho of 300 francs, which he
says he had intrusted to NJ. Blanuue,
and the payment of his wages, which he
also maintains have not been given to
him since he entered the service of the
college. He relates that he committed
the crime in the following manner: On
April 8, about seven o'clock in the
morning, he led M. Blanque into the
garden, under the pretext of pointing
out some necessary repairs, and on
reaching the door of cellar seized O
gun which he had concealed three DAYS
before and fired at the old man. As Nj.
Blanque fell his head struck against the
corner of the wall, and he cried out,
looking intently at his murderer "Ah,
Segondo poor Segondo!" The victim
was not dead, but the Spaniard took out
his pocket handkerchief, wround it
round the neck of M. Blanque, and
drew it so tight that the unfortunate
man was unable to cry out for assist
ance.
He then dragged him down the steps
OF the cellar and left him there while he
went to fetch spade and pickax where
with to dig the grave. The provost,
wounded and gagged, could neither de-
fend himself nor call for help, and was
obliged to look on in silence while the
hole was being made. Tears ran down
the poor mans cheeks, he crossed his
hands over his chest, and muttered a
hoarse prayer. When sufficient depth
had been reached, Segondo seized the
body of the priest in his arms and cast
him into the sandy hollow. M. Blanque
fell into the pit head foremost and still
living. He struggled hard to rise, and
this gave the murderer considerable
trouble, so that in order to effect his
purpose he was obliged to hit his vic
tim on the head with the spade. The
blow was SO violent that the iron made a
wound cutting through the eye and
opening the skull. Segondo then threw
a quantity of earth over the feet and
chest of the provost, whose arm made
one last desperate attempt to clear away
the soil and raise the body but the
gardener kicked it down and shoveled
about two feet of sand into the grave.
He then stamped upon it. and, after
watching the spot for about quarter of
an hour, went back into the college
kitchen, where he breakfasted heartily.
The next day he turned the water of a
sewer into the cellar, in order to wash
away the stains of blood. The ruffian
was taken into the college on account of
his being Carlist refugee destitute of
all means of earning his livelihood.

The Road Agents.

Two stages from San Antonio to Kings,
burg were stopped and the passengers
and mail robbed about eight miles west
of Seguin, Texas. Passengers state that
one of the robbers rode alongside OF
the coach and inquired of the driver if
he had noticed a man on sorrel horse
pass. He took good look at the
coaches and passengers and rode on.
Soon afterward three masked men, arm
ed with repeating lifles and mounted,
advanced from each side of the road,
ordered the passengers to alight from
stages and give up their weapons first
and then their money. They allowed
the passengers to retain their watches
and jewelry. The robbers then cut
open the mail bags and robbed the mails.
The passengers state the robbers secured
about 5000 in currency, four revolvers
and two Spencer rifles, which were in
cases, besides the mail matter. There
were four men among the twenty pas
sengers armed with revolvers, but owing
to lady passengers being in both coaches
they did not fire on the robbers.

Newspapers i'm 1776.

There were no daily newspapers in
the time of the Revolution, Edward
Abbotts tells us. OF some fifty papers
which were born, and lived, or died, be-
tween 174S and 1888, all were weeklies
or semi -weeklies. There were forty
three such in existence at the end of the
war. They were poor affairs, viewed in
the light of the journalism of to-day
but, measured by their times, displaye ed
considerable enterprise, and exerted an
immense influence. It was their char
acteristic that they aimed not 80 much
to print the news of the locality in which
they were published as to bring to that
locality news from distant parts of the
country and OF the world. In fact, the
newspapers of the Revolution had COM
paratively little to do with news of any
kind. The gathering of it had not been
reduced to a system. The publisher
was his own editor and reporter. There
were no telegraph tolls TO pay; and, had
there been, there would have been nc
money with which to have paid them.
News travelled to the paper by private
conveyance. It was two months coming
from Great Britain, and six months
from Constantinople. That useful and
widely known individual, "a gentleman
of undoubted ve1acity," lived, however,
in the country at that time, and rendered
valuable services. The papers were
filed with political sayings, satires and
lampoons. By many of them, the larg-
est liberty of discussion was allowed
and there were noticeable tendencies to
the freest sort of speculation. Of jour.
nalism in the modern sense of the term,
elaborated, enterprising, competitive,
lavish i'll outlay, and presenting field
for the highest attainments and most
carefully acquired professional skill,
there was absolutely nothing. And yet
we must accord to the journals of the
Revolution, small, irregular, struggling
sheets that they were, the credit of a
generally heroic spirit, and very noble
achievement in shaping the patriotic
temper of the times.

British Newspapers.

There are now published in the United
Kingdom one thousand six hundred and
forty-two newspapers, distributed as fol
lows England-London, three hundred
and twenty; provinces, nine hundred
and fifty-six-one thousand two hundred
and seventy-six; Wales, ffty-seven;
Scotland, one hundred and tifty-two;
Ireland, one hundred and thirty eight;
Isles, nineteen. Of these, there are
daily papers England, ninety eight;
Wales, two; Scotland, sixteen; Ireland,
nineteen; Isles, one. On reference to
the first edition of the useful directory
QS46) we find the following interesting
facts, viz. that in that year there were
published in the United Kingdom five
hundred and fifty-one journals; of these
fourteen were issued daily. viz: Eng
land, twelve; Ireland, two; but in 1876
there are now established and circulated
one thousand six hundred and forty two
papers, of which no less than one hun
dred and thirty-six are issued daily,
showing that the press of that country
has very greatly extended during the last
thirty years, and especially SO in daily
papers, the daily issues standing one
hundred and thirty-six, against fourteen
in 1916. The magazines now in course
of publication, including the quarterly
reviews, number six hundred and fifty
seven, of which two hundred and thirty.
eight are of a decidedly religious
character.

couldn't help fancying that these Bal

along, had some hand in this last misfor-

do anything to bring me to destruction,

Next day Baker travelled back with
US, getting in at Oxford street. It was
early, about four o'clock in the after
noon, before the regular stream of bust
ness men set in; consequently, after we
passed the Redcap, there was no one
else inside. 1t had often happened SO

not having much to do, 1 dare say,

mothers money.

Well, Jack looked over for second,

just in time to see our sodden looking
friend with pencil in his hand, jotting
down few extra figures on the waybill.
Well, he went home to his friends
afterward, looking a deal more disre-
putable than me, and don't think he'll
very soon forget his trip that day. He
had to give me ESQ too to hush the mat
ter up, and that Will pay my passage

A Type Setting Machine,

Near the town of Nordhausen, in the
province of Saxony, lives certain Herr
Henze, M. D., who has invented a new
type setting machine, of which we re-
ceive the following particulars: BY
means of lever, which is worked by q
series of notes, something like a piano,
the letters are raised out of the box in
which they are kept and placed in po.
sition fixed for them. By using very
simple mechanism second setting ap.
paratus can be adjusted, and by this
means the sentence is twice set in the
same time. The machine is of the sim
plest construction, and yet can be work
ed easily, and performs the setting in {
quick and correct manner. Three com
positors cannot work so quickly and
surely as one with such a machine. The
price of the new invention will vary
from thirty to sixty thalers.

The Two Ouincys,

While the venerable Josiah Quincy
was president of Harvard University lis
son, afterwards mayor, was president of
the common council of Boston. Both
were intimately connected with the
moral and material interests of the me.
tropolis of the old Bay State. The elder
Quincy had been mayor of the city,
from 1928 10 '28, having beenthe second
incumbent of that office. 1t was during
his administration that Quincy market
was built, and other important works
carried forward. On certain occasion
father and son were present at social
gathering, where they were toasted as
"The Two President Quincys."
After the toast had been drank amid
warm and hearty demonstrations, the
younger Quincy-the president of the
common council-arose. AS he looked
very serious, and even solemn, the as
semblage became at once silent and at
tentive. He told them that he felt CRATE
full for the kindly feeling they had mani
tested. Said he:
81 wish always to be courteous to
others, claiming for myself only that
which is my due; but L cannot tamely
submit to anything derogatory to my
own dignity. You have been pleased,
gentlemen, to allude to two President
Quincys; but I beg that you will bear in
mind that the old gentleman at the
head of the table only presides over a
parcel of beardless boys, while l pre-
side over body of grand and infuen-
tial men!"
Had man been standing upon the
roof of that building just then, he
might have fancied that an earthquake
! had burst beneath his feet.

Chinese Cheap Labor.

Before the California Senate Chinese
commission, at Sacramento, Lem
Schaun, Christianized Chinese proper,
testified that it is practically impossible
to convert grown Chinaman to Chris.
tianity, though sometimes efforts in that
direction have been successful in the
case of boys. He said the condition of
Chinese women in San Francisco is hor-
rible. They are bought and sold like
cattle, are abused by their masters, tor
tured, and often killed for attempting
to escape. The presence of the lower
classes of Chinese in this country is dis
astrous to both whitesand Chinese. The
Chinese here of the better class desire
immigration stopped, and the whole
thing can be done in friendly way.
The Chinese government desires to
keep its subjects at home, and if immi-
grafton, which is mostly from the pro-
vince of Canton, was stopped, it would
have no effect upon the commercial re-
lations with China. The Chinese gov
ernment would willingly assist in stop
ping this immigration; but witness
thought they could not do it themselves,
as there are eighteen provinces, and a
revolution in almost every province.
Christianity is not advanced by this i'm
migration, but if it were stopped, some
thing might be done with those who are
here.
The witness corroborated the evidence
previously given concerning the manner
in which the Chinese secret tribunals
put price on the lives of those Offend
ing their laws, and carried out such sen
tences. AS to the contract system, he
said, when the men have no money to
pay their passage to California they bor-
row, and make contract to work until
they have refunded the money. When
Cinnamon desire to return to China the
Pacific Mail steamship company refuse
to sell them tickets unless they have q
check or ticket from the Six Companies,
or from the missionaries. This is done
to protect their creditors. Cinnamon
living in this country do not think the
Six Companies can stop immigration or
importation of lewd women and i'm
proper characters, nor have they the
power to send them back to China.
Matthew Karcher, chief of police, tes-
titled at length as to the ruinous effect
of the presence of the Chinese upon the
rising generation, leading the boys to
disease and death, and driving both
boys and girls to crime by competition
in household and manufacturing en-
ployments. Mr.. Karcher characterized
the Chinese population, almost without
exception, as criminals, thieves, liars,
and periurers.

A Singular Death.

George Drew, of Green Island, Wis
recently discovered, about half mile
from the island, the body of man
stretched out on the ice, with his head
caught between two layers of ice, one
on top of the other, and where there
had evidently been a crack. The man
had been dead some time, as the body
was cold and stiff. Near it was a sled.
An examination of the position of the
body showed that the man, Vesteen by
name, had stopped to drink, lying down
for that purpose. While drinking, 9
sudden movement of the ice closed the
crack, the side opposite to him rising
and sliding little way over the side OF
which he was-iust far and high enough
to catch and hold his head as in vice
suffocating him, as was shown by tn,
fact that the face, neck and breast wer,
black.
