NETHoDIsr SUNDAY School CosCERT.
We are authorized to make the an
nouncemeut that the Methodist Sunday
School scholars will give a concert at
the church Of that society on tomorrow
Sunday night. The public IS invited
TO attend. Some days ago Parson Tevis
kindly invited us TO attend q Thursday
evening meeting OF this Sunday School,
informing Us as all inducemeut, We III
ferredl. that the school boastcI among
It's class leaders, Hon. James d. Minor,
Hon. jacob J. Linn and Hon. ". d.

school seemed to be strong enough to
stand that much pressure, and he said i
did; aud We conclude that if the schol-
ars, il view Of that vast and weighty
load OF morality, plety and religious
zeal. still have the courage and hight
heartedness to sing, they are prepared
TO give pretty good sort Of concert.
We hope to be able 10 be there and report
what happens.
Mr.. BERRY was stentoriousiy engaged
yesterday calling the attention OF the
public to the fact that Mr.. Cormack's
auction sale Of goods was about to take
place. Clem's speech was more than
ordinarily coherent and we'll delivered;
out while lie was IL the midst Of one Of
his most eloquent sentences berry wit
bawled out at him: That S dam lie,

nut tree, and with as much presence Of
mind as hotel clerk, Glenn finished his
Grafton: and then, noticing that the au-
thor of this bit Of rough pleasantly was
about retiring into bar room, he cried
up with voice that might have been
heard at Empire: Il never was know'd
to say no, and then with horse
laugh that sounded like blare Of trum-
pet, Glen proceeded to get himself treat
ed 10 glass OF whisky.

PRIZE ROMANS

There is decided Dickens-,ike flavor
to the following. which is from the New
York World of February lG:
At the beginning Of the rehearsals OF
"Julius Cesar" Messrs. jarrett II
Palmer caused it to be announced to the
400 supernumeraries who make uD the
Roman populace that after fifty perform
ances of the play, Jour prizes consisting
of S25 each, would be drawn by lot
among those whose conduct during the
period had been without reproach. The
rules provided for the guidance of the
populace required in the first place at
tendance to every performance, and, in
the second, an abstention from tobacco
during the progress of the play. II any
body talked out Of place, or If anybody
failed to shout at the proper times, he
was forthwith disqualified. 1t was i'm

part Of the rabble was rather esteemed
than otherwise as calculated to impart
zeal. The ladies' OF the Roman ballet
were not included among the candidntes.

never give them any trouble. and that
the prospect of prize for good conduct
II their case IS quite unnecessary.
Yesterday was the day appointed for
the distribution. The whole 400 came,

TEE WAEM SPRINGS Road is il a hor-

terribly cllt up all winter by the heavy
teams that have been engaged in haul
ing stone from the State Prison to the
railroad track for the new State Prison

than ever. The worst part Of it is in
front OF the Orphans Home and Nj.
Bryant's residence. This is SO bad AS to
be impossible. Last Tuesday heavily
laden hay wagon nirel down on It,
since which time We believe, no teams
or vehicles have passed over it. The
Warm Springs carriage Is obliged to
make trips through Chinatown, and yes
terday the teams engaged IN hauling
stone for the Reno Prison also went
around through Chinatown. Our city
limits extend as far, We believe, as Mr..
Lees residence. and if the road could
be put in good condition that far the
improvement would be highly priced by
the teamsters and others who drive over
the road. The center of the road oppo-
site the Orphans Home is lower than
its sides. and with a snow bank on the
south side to melt and run in. the

Away, David Phillips and Pompey Cur
~, were called out of the ring, and, with
out any pretense Of trial, shot in cold
blood Later the remaining negroes were
told to run, and were fired at as they fed,
five being killed outright and number
wounded.
These are the facts, which are not dis
putcd by the local Democratic press, which
hastens to deprccate this atrocity that has
no parallel in all the butcheries of Sitting
Bull--the depreciation being not on ac
count of the crime itself, but rather be
cause of its effect upon the elections in the
North. Thus the Charleston. Ne,rs and
Courier, the leading Democratic organ of
the State, says;
The Northern newspapers, even those most
friendly to the South, are loud in their dennncia-
ton OF the Hamburg slaughter. They regard ii as
doing good work for Hayes and Wheeler, aud pre-
diet that Il few more outbreaks OF the same sort
will insure the defeat OF Tilden. II it not horrible

their suppiiant prisoners
So that paper, in its issue of the 18th,
admitting the atrocities charged says;

pressed yesterday, that If the published accounts
of the Hamburg Hair are correct there was little

ers who tcere sh0t dO,op Ike d0gs long after they

But the Ne,os and Courier finds it ncccs-
sary, in palliation of this -outspoken de-
nunciation Of cowardly murder, to add:
We IA he NO Measure N coudpnlu u hat WAS
done at Hamburg. We wish that ii were such an
act ~ we could conscientiously justify and defend.
But In Judgment the whole affair, from begin

to the State TO say
The whole affair, from beginning to end
was but an ebulition of the Democracy,

throughout the South, by which the vot-
ing power of one white man and his shot

A Strange Affair.

One OF the most remarkable instances
of the strangeness of events came
to light few days ago upon the arrest
of Theodore Dickerson. the horse-thief
The crime for which he was arrested
was for stealing mule from DIR. w
II. Grimes about seven years ago Tia
was arrested with one Tom White >
rather notorious character who lived
in and around Atchison at that time
There was the usual delay in the ar.
rest and the trial, and the case wac
fought as determinedly as possible
Dickinson was man of family and
White was single man, both having
been what is known in the "profes,
SION as 'pals" for several wears
Finally seeing that conviction was in
evitable, and there We're no hopes Of
acquittal of either, White said to
Dickerson:
s. Y on are a married man and have
"A family. | am single and have no one
to care for. We will put up all the
money we can scrape together, and fur
nish bail for you, and jump the coun-
try. | will stand the brunt of it. for
it is a dead certainty we are done for"
This was sufficient. Together thew
procured about 5000, and with it Dick
erson found bondsmen, and, as he was
advised by White. he jumped the coun-
ty. a few weeks after that White
was sentenced to the Penitentiary for
seven years. No more was heard def
nitely of Dickerson until last Friday.
when he was, for the second time, ar
rested for stealing DR.. Grimes mule.
and once more incarcerated in our
County Jail. On the evening of the
same day that Theodore Dickerson was
arrested, Tom White arrived in Atchi-
son from the Penitentiary, his time
having expired that morning -Atchi-

POLITICAL NOTES.

rD A large part of the Western Demo
crat, do not enthuse over the nomination
of Tildcn. They are eating billed crow,
and make wry faces thereat, and rye
mouths to get it down.--Chiengo Tribune.
eB~ The Philadelphia Press believes
There is more dlstrust of the Democratic
party among the loyal masses of the North
now than in 1872 Mop outrages are com
mitted upon black and white Republicans
at the South, and more expressions OF the
old rebel sentiments are reported from the
same section"
g8~ The WesNiche Past (Carl Schurz)
says the friends Of Tilden may deny that
the Democratic candidate for President
distracted, contrary to- law, securities to
the amount of $500, 900 from the St Louis,
Alton d Terre Haute Railroad, but they
cannot ritter away the courts record, and
concludes that the people will not vote for
man under so grlevous an accusation,
and who is afraid to meet the charge.
~ The real secret of the Hamburg af-
fair lies in the fact that the negroes con
stituted II company of militia, properly or
gained and armed, and parading on the

A Seed That Purifies Water,

In India, where it is often quite i'm
possible to obtain good water, there is
IA kind of provision of Providence for
the clarifying OF impure and muddy
water which is well worthy Of notice,
Were it in America it might be called
an 'institution." so common is its use.
1t is seed which on being rubbed
again and again on the inside of the
common earthern WaterpotS of the
country has the power of precipitating
the earth and impurities, leaving the
water tolerably clear and to degree
suitable for use. During our timer
ancy of two weeks we have had occa-
sion almost constantly to use the very
repulsive-looking tank-water of the
country thus purified. At only one of
our encampments have we had well
water, and then the natives much pre-
ferred the common surface or tank
water to this. Habit, usage and Gus
tom are almost omnipotent in India,
and many years must pass before Hin
docs Will learn that their purifying
seed does not remove the poisonous
faint that produces fever and cholera
and does nothing to destroy animal
life that brings the very common and
troublesome Guinea worm. so often
making life almost or quite a burden
1t is source of satisfaction to us that
this purified water is rendered harm
less by boiling, and there is of course
as much more urgent reason for the
use of "the cup that cheers but does
not inebriate,' than can be found
where one has access to ''the old oaken
bucket of former times and happy
memory. -Uissi0n01y Letter.
