The DEATH OF REV. DIR. MUNsEY,

last week, appears to have been very sud

his studies ruined his health, and the rem

will not speak. In the pulpit he was the
wonder and admiration of all who heard
him, but in the world he was as childlike
and artless as the boys and girls we lead
about by the hands. He was above trick

DR.. Sullins assisted by Nathan Bachman
and D. o. Byers, of the Presbyterian
Church, j. S. Thomas, of the Baptist
Church, and G. D. French and E. e. Hoss
of the Methodist Church, conducted the
funeral. Dr. Sullns said he would preach

BLEEDING AT THE NOsE.-A cores
pondent of the scientific American says
the best remedy for bleeding at the nose,
as given by DR.. Gleason i'll one of his lee
lures, is vigorous motion Of the jaws, as
if in the act of masticaton. In the case OF
a child, a wad Of paper should be placed
in its mouth and the child instructed to
chew it hard. 1t is the motion of the jaws
that stops the flow Of blood. This remedy
is so very simple that many will feel in
clined to laugh at it, but 1t has never been
known to fail in single instance even in
severe cases.

Some of the Readjuster papers fell into
the trap Of publishing Mr.. Seawrlght' dis
ouisition on the English debt paying
precedent without, we must believe, eXamin-
ing it. One of these, the Petersburg POST"
however is making the best of Il bad bar
gain and replying to the VIND1cAToR's
exposition of the same says
"Now it matters not on what terms the
debt of England existed. 1t was no doubt
as honest debt as that OF Virginia, and
as such England had no more right to re.
adjust" it by intimidation and force
than has Virginia now. And yet the Vs'..
dictator admits that England has often
accomplished its object of reducing It's
rate of interest to s'three per cent" by
making ssthreats'' which so ''irritdted her
creditorsn as to 'force them" to reduce
their interest from five and six to three per
cent Was it any more honest III England
to .sirritate her creditors and to "force:
them into her terms by frequent threats
than it would be for Virginia to ask ''re-
ADJUSTMENT and a reduction of her inter-
est to 4 per cent ? And did England lose
any of her honor or credit by thus dealing
with her creditors in moments OF great Il
nancial distress and pressure ? We think
not.
When the point Of discussion is the
sacredness of a contract and the answer
is that sit matters not on what terms" the
contract existed, the opponent confesses he
has no ground to stand on. The difference
between England and the Adjusters is
that England threatened to pay her credl-
TORS. the right to do which she had reserved
and the Adjusters threaten to deprive
theirs of their money which we borrowed
and used. England would have lost hel
credit the instant she made such propo-
sition as the Forcible Adjusters are making
now.

SHOOTING A MEDICINE WOMAN.-On
Thursday night last a medicine woman Of
the Piute tribe, who had been living near
Bridgeport, Cal, was shot to death by
three buck Indians. On Friday morning
the chief of the tribe called upou Judge
Whitman and related to him the circnm-
stance Of the killing. The medicine Wo-
man had failed to cure sick child Of the
chief, and this being the third patient who
had died on her hands, she was condemned
to death. Two young men assisted the
father of the dead child in carrying out the
edict of the law. She was removed a short
distance from the camp and shot, the three
shooting her With one OF more balls from
six-shooters. The object Of the chiefs
visit to Judge Whitman was to procure a
coffin in which to bury his child. The
Judge furnished q coffin that had been
around the Court House for some time
awaiting a tenant. The child was buried
with great ceremony, all the members of
the tribe attending t funel al. The old
medicine woman was buried without a
coffin, a hole being dug two or three feet
deep, and she tumbled IN in her every day
attire, This is third case Of Indian justice
being carried out that has come to our
knowledge within a few weeks.-Black
