PREACHING AND PRACTICING.

The tone OF superiority assumed by
the northern press in speaking of the
Chisholm murder in Mississippi rests up
on no substantial foundation, and their
preaching often takes a most offensive
tone. Even the Nation, which usually is
comparatively just, says: .,s
In fact, a sense of the propriety and law
fulness OF killing people in certain contin-
gencies is embedded so deeply in southern
newspaper articles, and especially no
northern newspaper articles, can reach 1t.
The genuine southerner looks on attacks
on 1t from this source as the attacks OF
nen of different and inferior civilization.
| If all that is here laid down be accept
ed as true of the South, is it not equally
true of the North? 1t is well known that
no man in the North can be convicted of
murder where is ''a woman in the case. :"
1t matters not whether the woman be
good or bad, whether the murder was in
hot-blooded brutality or cold, cowardly
malice, the jury find him "Not guilty."
and the crowd carry out the prisoner. In
triumph on their shoulders under the i'm
preston that they are vindicatlng "the
| hearth and the heart and the domestic af-
fections. 1t would be easy to instance
dozens of such cases, but the reader
doubtless can recall enough for the pur-
pose. The significance of it is, that a
public opinion in the North, which is
strongt than law, justifies murder, cold
and deliberate, when mans "honor" is
assailed in some female relation. Now
the people of the South also hold similar
views as to the proprety of destroying
human life under certain contingencies
Those justifying contingencies are moi
; precisely the same as those of the North
but the principle is the same; the con
tempt of law is the same. 1t is true that
the Chisholm vendetta hfs not yet beer
ljudicially explored, nor its criminals
brought to justice. 1t may be that the
murderers find sanctuary in pablo

BURGLARY AND MURDER AT
BEAVER VALLEY.

BEAVER VALLEY, PA, June 13.-
Within the past week numerous attempts
at highway robbery have been made by
masked men. Several houses in the sur
rounding country have been entered and
robbed of everything valuable that could
be conveniently carried off. Yesterday
afternoon, at late hour, the residence
of George Thompson. W ell-to-do dairy
man, was broken into and robbed. As
the masked burglars were leaving the
premises they were met by Thomas Burns,
hired man about the place. Burns, in
trying to prevent the departure of the
robber, was shot and killed. Now that
the depredators have added murder to
their other crimes, much excitement has
been caused. Vigilance committees have
been formed by the farmers and others,
and lynching is freely talked of.

A FINE LADY FOUND To BE A
FORGER.

LOUISVILLE, June 13.-A startling
sensation has been developed here. A
lady occupying high social position,
Mrs. T. T. Hawkins by name, as the
story is told, within the last few years
obtained $4,000 from her mother on
pretense that she was interested in tobacco
speculation. She claimed that Senator
Stevenson, George II. Pendleton, Colonel
Taylor and others were in partnership
with her. The mother believing this ad-
vanced the money. The gentlemen
named deny any business relations with
her, and the story, so far as they are con-
cerned. is utterly devoid of truth. The
lady made attempts to secure cash on
notes, but failed. They were forged and
signed with Taylor's name. Relatives
pronounce Mrs. Hawkins deranged. The
affair caused considerable excitement.

.i.< isu Lue crate costs IL cents and does
not carry two baskets of peaches.
The reason carriers charge cents for
taking each basket of peaches to New
York is because they have to return them,
for the latter charging one cent apiece
The letter figures the cost of marketing
each basket of peaches at Al cents. To
answer this the peach growers of Della
ware will laugh loudly. Mr.. T. forgets
that the railroad company has offered a
reduction of ST per car to Jersey City, if
the return of baskets was stopped. He
goes into an abuse of the p, W. & B. r.
K. Now, have heard him speak in the
highest terms of that railroad at one peach
meeting and at the next ridicule thelr
officers to a great extent. The great
trouble with these old peach growers is
that when they advance an idea they
think it should be sacredly supported, but
the time has gone by for such obedience
when the interests of younger men are to
be advanced, and these old fashioned
ways of marketing peaches will be aban
doned when better ones are offered.
1t is a good thing that inducements are
to be made to small growers to have then
present at the next peach meeting al

long for the abolishment of the presen
system of obtaining cars. When the!
