with intentness, and their own guide had
one which Otto declared afterward grew a
mile while he was looking at it. This
was 80 very astonishing he made up his
mind to whisper in his very lowest whis-
per and ask the meaning OF 1T.
"Please tell me about it, please do, y
le said so softly he was afraid he only
thought it.
But to those ear-folks his whisper was
shout. Down went the trumpets, and
all the little fellows came tip-toeing to-
ward the corner where the children were,
turning their heads in every direction,
and listening rather than looking for
them.
Naughty boy" said their guide,
"you spoiled the prettiest music we
have heard for many day. A little girl
forgave her brother for shutting the door
hard on her poor doll to make two little
dolls of her, and she was saying the sweet
est words to him, although her heart was
broken, and he was growing sorry and
good, and it was SO beautiful
Otto began to say he was sorry, but
the minute he uttered u sound the host
was upon him.
"Who is this that disturbs us with his
mortal voice ?" asked the biggest cared
one, whom all the others obeyed.
Il didn't mean to-" stammered Otto.
We can't have any noise here. Our
business is to listen, said the chief.
Can't you readg"
And then the children noticed for the
first time great letters on the gate, and
on the woolly turf, and on the backs of
the sheep, IN. NJ" which must mean
"no noise"
Their captor then explained that these
were the children whose dreadful noises
had given them all SO much pain-that
he had brought them to be punished
and made over, as he had been ordered
to do.
"Let all business be suspended until
this case is settled" the chief cried with
a loud voice. AS business with them
meant keeping quiet, they all proceeded
to make noise. Louder" he called
out; "louder, louder" until no noise on
earth was ever equal to it. The poor
children were stunned and terrified. They
clapped their hands to their ears, but
could not shut out the dreadful noise.
Their heads began to swim, and they fell
in a swoon on the soft earth. This was
their punishment. Just what they had
done was done to them. But now all
sound ceased, and the elves clustered
about the PROSTATE children and ten
derby ministered to them. They
were bathed with fairy lotion, and
soon they were in a gentle sleep. Then
the fairies put into their young hearts
love for all sweet sounds, and while
they were dreaming their pleasant les
son they bore them swiftly home to their
own little beds, where they awoke the
next morning very different little souls
from the Otto and Greta of the previous
day. And before the fairies left the cot
tage they opened the ears of the old
grandmother to hear the pleasant tones
of her children's voices, which never af-
terward had harsh note in them. Otto
and Greta grew up to love music and to
make it, and i'll their hearts it was all
dedicated to the fairies who put them i'll
tune.-NciC York Tribune.

An Extraordinary Homicide.

A tragedy of most peculiar nature is
reported from Coal Run, Ohio. The
young men of the public school at that
place were preparing for an exhibition,
and had under rehearsal an original
drama for the occasion. To make the
effect more impressive upon the rural
audience, revolvers and bowie-knives
were introduced. In one portion of the
play young man named Mason was to
receive dagger thrust from Stephen
Rumble. A sack of red liquid was con-
cealed under his clothes, and wooden
breastplate was to protect him from the
blow. But in the excitement of re-

Lynch Law.

A week or two ago, the officers of the
steamer Tensas, while on their way up
the Red river, found it necessary, owing
to the low water in Bayou Macon, La,
opposite Franklin parish, to deposit in
the warehouse of the plantation n large
portion of the boats cargo. Eight ne
groes, armed and equipped, after the de-
parture of the boat, entered the ware
house and plundered the cargo. After
securing all they needed, and not being
able to carry off the whole, they set fire
to the house, which, together with it's
contents, valued at about 81, 900, was
destroyed. Some citizens of the parish,
indignant at the outrage perpetrated by
these people, made an investigation of
the affair, and some of the guilty parties
were arrested. One or two of the men
turned States evidence and related the
whole affair, giving the names of the
four principal leaders of the robbery and
arson. A court was Immediately organ.
lied, and the four ringleaders, after the
testimony was given by those of then
gang who had turned States evidence,
were hung.

DALLAS HERALD.
We can't answer for the No,os, but can
for the Gasette, that contains the same
proclamation. We are publishing it
with other proclamations of the gov
ernor. in the expectation of being paid
by an appropriation of the next legisla-
ture,- Austin Gasette,
That is all wrong. Besides being a
plain violation of o commonly accepted
business principle, it is not justice to
other advertisers, What paper would
publish individual advertisements in
expectation of pay from future appro,
priation of the legislatureY Now we
believe in making the state authorities
and the legislature feel the inconveni-
ence resulting from failure to perform
their whole duty, and hereis the oppor-
tunity, and it is being wasted by the
papers publishing the matter, money or
no money. No state relies so much
upon the press, as does Texas, and no
state in the union does less for its sup
port. We fail utterly to see why the
papers should work for the state with.
out pay, any more than they should fol
individuals. There should be law
passed making publication a necessit,
to complete service in largo number
of cases. Every other state has it, but
here publication, except in few in
stances is not necessary. But when
the papers pay out money for work
upon which they getonly the minimum
price, and then wait for future appro
priation, why it is just too much, and i,
suicidal to the last degree.
