Died With His Boots On.

A Pueblo (Cal.) correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe Democrat writes: Tim
Shay, noted gambler, died with his
boots on, at La Junta, about sixty
miles east of here, yesterday, and this
IS how it came to pass. On Sunday
evening, while Shay was engaged play
ing game of poker with certain par
ties, he stole $40 from them. A dispute
arose afterward between Shay and his
confreres in the game as to who was en-
titled to the money, and the matter was
finally referred to Rufe Edwards, keeper
of dance-house, for settlement. Ed
wards decided against Shay, and re-.
turned the money to the rightful owner.
At this Shay was much enraged, and
swore that he would kill Edwards on
sight, but was kept away from Edwards
during that night Edwards, having
been informed of Shay's threat,
called to see him yesterday
morning, and inquired if he had
made any such remark. Shay
at first denied that he had done 30, but
finally said to Edwards: al have Just
$40, and I'll go and buy six-shootef
aud kill you on sight" After this threat
Edwards retired to his dance-hall and
loaded double-barreled shotgun with
buck shot. He then went into the
street, and noticed Shay coming toward
him. Shay immediately tried to draw
his revolver, but Edwards was too quick
for him, and fred both barrels of his
gun, tie charges taking effect in the left
side of Shay's chest, tearing CHASTITY
hole therein. Shay was the last of gang
of roughs who have infested Southeast
ern Colorado md Western Kansas for a
number of years. Most OF them have
died with their boots on, after having
killed several men each, and Shay was
no exception to the rule.

THE RIGHT BOWER.

half dozen lawyers, fresh from their
studies, and just admitted to the bar,
were listening to his advice. The old
iurist had bottle of wine at his elbow,
and was in a communicative mood.

will not have surmised amiss.
The young men looked at him inqum-
ingly.
Il mean" he added, "that you shall
never advocate a cause into the work of
which you cannot enter with a clear con-
science. You shall never accept client
whose cause you do not believe to be
just"
Can that rule always be adhered
to ?" asked one of the listeners.

IAN egg is generally called fresh when
it has been laid only one or two days in
summer, and two to six days in winter.
The shell being porous, the water in the
interior evaporates and leaves cavity
of greater or less extent. The yolk Of
the egg sinks, too, as may be easily seen
by holding it toward candle or the sun;
and, when shaken, slight shock is felt
if the egg is not fresh. To determine

A Monument to Custer.

In this country we are too apt to neglect
the graves and the memory of the men whose
lives were sacrificed in the country's honor
and the country's defence. With us
tributes to the departed are too rare, in
deed-at least tributes which will keep green
the memory of brave man or great deed.
Washington has no monument worthy of his
fame and his services to the Republic, and
the shaft we attempted to raise in honor of
his name might we'll be taken down,
for there is no hope that it will ever be
finished. jackson and Clay and Webster,
nor any one of our statesmen or soldiers,
have fitting mausoleum. Their deeds live
only in their country's history. Shall the
same fate befall the latest of our heroes, the
fighting by his side? We trust not, and sim
cerely hope that the widespread feeling of
sympathy which has been excited by the
spectacle of whole family lying in close
proximity on the field of slaughter will be
responded to by deed as bright as these
emotions have been generous. Even the
savages, wrought to admiration by the bravery
and courage of the great chief whom they
slew, preserved his body from mutlation
and desccration. Can we do less in rccog-
milton of his glorious career? AT least we
must give him monument more enduring
than this unconscious tribute of the savage
foe. Yesterday we proposed some fitting
memorial and offered to give one thousand
dollars as the HEEALD's share toward so inn
portant and so worthy an object We prefer
that an association with a responsible treas
urer be formed to carry this project forward,
and in the meantime we will receive and re-
port such subscriptions as may be made to-
ward that end, and pay over the same and
our own contribution to the treasurer of the
Custer Monument Association soon as one
is appointed.

Bloodshcd in the South-How to Elect
Hayes and Wheeler.

We have series of dispatches from
Augusta, Ga, describing conflict between
militia company composed of negroes
and white company, which, according to
the report, assembled for the purpose of
compelling this negro company to respect
the decision of negro judge. The reasons
leading to this collision are given with that
vagueness which generally characterizes de-
spatches from the South detailing any quarrel
between blacks and whites, vagueness
which may be attributed in most cases to
the fact that the whites write the narratives,
while the negroes are killed. The practical
point in this South Carolina quarrel is that
the militia negro company was dispersed with
canister; that at two in the morning ''four
prisoners were shot, and the rest released;
that the full extent of casualties are un-
attainable, but that our correspondent
counted one white man and six negroes
dead"
Zone white man and six negroes dead" is
about the fair average in these disturbances
Is it any wonder that Senators like Morton
raise the bloody shirt? Is it any wonder
that peaceful men in the North mourn over
this bloodshed and ask if there can be law
and order where public opinion justifies
these outbreaks? We await with deep inter-
est the full details of this new contest. So
far as the report now goes it looks as if these
Southern white madmen had resolved to
elect Hayes and Wheeler. They are doing
yeoman's service in Augusta One or two
Hamburg riots will settle the business.

also, which. although not so potent as
it was, and which grows weaker every
year, still has strong hold upon the
problems that the Governor would be glad
to ignore, but they are conditions in the can
vass and must have consideration If he can
make reform" the transcendent question,
if he can make afervid canvass like those for
Fremont and Lincoln, if he can force his en-
emies on the defensive and keep them there,
he will have fair chance of winning But
it is good deal to expect more we fear
than the mercurial temper Of our people and
their self-complacency over Centennial af-
fairs will permit. There is this also to be
considered-that Tilden is very able man,
chine; who has been accustomed to hand
ling conventions and campaigns; who will
not be without abundant resources.
The democratic army will have good
commissary and quartermaster's depart
ment this year, and that is an immense ad-
vantage.
Governor Tilden has the opportunity,
which Governor Hayes offers in his letter, of
making burning appeal to the country
Let him emphasize and echo every good
point Of Hayes and strike his weak points
Let him unite in the demand for purifying
the civil service, and say he will make no
removals except for cause. Let him sup
port Hayes in denying to Congressman any
right to interfere in the patronage. Let
him take as high ground as Hayes in favor
of one term. On this he will have the
example Of Buchanan. Let him be as shrewd
as Hayes on the school question, for there
the republicans expect to win much strength,
and he can say as much as his rival without
doing his canvass any harm. While the let
ter of Hayes justifies the approval bestowed
upon his nomination as a safe, fair man,
while as republican move it helps the
party, it gives Governor Tilden good op-
portunity-the opportunity of saying that
the party of Hayes has been in power for six
teen years without redeeming single prom
ise contained in this letter of acceptance,
and that what Lincoln and Grant could not
do will hardly be done by Hayes-that where
political system is false no man can save it,
and that promises are vague after sixteen
years of broken pledges.
