FL TnToSvtIIE, o., Sept. ., 1878,
i have recently made little tourthrough
the counties Of Belmont, rrisonand JEFF.
enon, and thought l would make brief
note of some things that noticed during
that time.
First, our neighboring county Of Bel
mont is much ahead OF JUS in good roads.
You find pixies extending in all different
directions through thecounty, and the en-
tire community agree TO the great advan:
tage OF such roads. Asmost OF US are well
aware, there are no direct or through roads
in our county, and why our people should
always oppose the building OF such roads
is to be greatly wondered at. / visited the
magnificent County Infirmary OF Belmont
county, and was there shown through the
building By its able Superintendent, Capt.
A, G. Danford cousin Of our Representa-
tive in Congress), Here again Belmont is
much ahead OF lis. They have q building
for their poor uniortunates, which they
should be proud OF us model otthe kind.
Mr.. Daaiord Is certainly the right man in
the right place. Intelligent, energetic and
kind. no better selection could have been
made for the position, We drOvealongth the
line OF the w. & T. v. r. r., through
Flushing, Freeport and Tippecanoe. The
people along the line look forward with
great anxiety to the early completion OF the
road. 1t passes througharich agricultural
community, and no doubt when the roads
finished 1t will add much to the business Of
the wholesale merchants at Wheeling and
Bridgeport.
It seems to bea generalopinlon through
the county that the Hon. ]. 7, Updegraf
will be our next Representative. Every.
where the people OF his district feel con
dent OF his ability and honesty to repre-
sent us; one who will make taithfulpub'
lie servant. .l u.s.

NEW YORK.
A Horrible Murder,

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-James johnson, aged
81, had an alteration with woman supposed
TO be his sister-n-law, Mrs. johnson, at her
house in the rear of 1874 Orchard street, this af-
ternoon. The neighbors heard quarrel and
two pistol shots fired, when the police were call
ed in. The woman was found lying ON the floor
dead, with her throat cut her forehead mashed
in and sixteen stab wounds on her body. John
son lay near by with his throat cut from ear to
ear and two pistol shot wounds in his abdomen
The floor was pool of blood, in the midst of
which were found revolver, razor, shoe
makers knife and an iron stove hook, mas
sive blunt instrument. The man undoubtedly
assaulted the woman and killed her, after which
he took his own life. Mrs. johnson was found
to have been pregnant, and the eight stab
wounds seem to have aimed at her unborn child.
Shs did not live with her brother-in-law but
came every day to cook for him. 1t is supposed
that undue intimacy existed between them.
Ms. johnson was sometimes accompanied by
her two little children when going to cook, and
the police are now looking for the children in
order to throw some light upon the tragedy if
possible. At late hour tonight Q. Missback,
of the Empire City Copying Company, 746
Broadway, called at the police station and gave
the following history of the two victims of the
above tragedy:
James W. johnson was formerly a wealthy
diamond broker of Chicago and worth from
$250,000 to 100000. Three years ago he failed
and came to New York, where he had lust got
started again when $4,000 worth of diamonds
were stolen from him, which used him up. He
knew the murdered woman to be Mrs. Din
nam, who has divorced husband in Chicago
where she met johnson who had been init.
mate with her before he lost his property.

A Doctor ON Dancing.

[Dr Fordyce Barker to a World Reporterl
Dancing is good thing 1t distracts
women's minds from the contemplation of their
own symptoms, and thereby circumvents an
evil. AS for Mrs. Sherman, suppose those
things are matters of education. People, you
know, who are not used to seeing nude figures
in statuary or paintings experience indecent
feelings. and then again, you know, people
who are used to seeing that sort of thing don't.
Habit, familiarity and refinement make most
of us agreed in these matters. There is one
fact" the doctor continued, in talking after.
wards of the strength of Amer ican women
and their habits of life and dress, "that YOU
might notice, that town women are strong
or, fresher, handsomer and live longer than
women who dwell in the country. This must
be accepted because it is fact, and as well be-
cause the reasons for it are apparent, Tha
women in the city eat better food, they are
able to divert themselves with concerts and
theatres-the very streets are a diversi on-and
they have baths, the benefits of which are in
calcuiable., The country women do nothing
but go to church or to the country store to buy
Dit of calico and ribbon.''
'Then you think the New York women are
in good condition.
''They are the finest women in the world
physically, in point Of figure, development and
grace. have been in Europe good deal, and
find the women here better specimens than
those in, London, Paris, Berlin or Vienna.
There has been marked change in American
womanhocd within 20 years. People returning
after long absence have noticed it. Our girls
now growing. or just grown, are magnificent
specimens. The old follies of dress, such as
tight-lacing, ETC., are done and we clothe our
selves to the full as sensiby as the rest of the
world. New York women wear flannels now
and thick soles to their shoes. The corsets are
loose and are an aid in supporting the skirts.
the bands of which without these would acs as
Igatures and interfere with the circulation.
We are city of superb, healthy women, pei

1t is by no means proof of the strength of an
article to see the smoothness and regularity of
its appearance thus destroyed and defaced. A
word or two in italics may be necessary some
times Cor the purpose of special emphasis or

the writer is straining after expressive words

after he had finished his picture, was obliged

read Shakespeare, Milton, Burke and Sheridan

Perhaps 1t would not be Over5tating the case
to say that italics bear the same relation
to writing that profanity does to speech !;
oatbs are the italics of the ignorant in con-
versation; and italics are the oaths of the
weak in writing. Clergymen are not, as a
class, weak writers; some of them, on the con-
trary, are very strong writers; but they have
certainly contracted the habit to which we
refer, and it is of itself sufficient to take the
sap out of the best of writers if persisted in for
alength of time, just as the unnecessary use
OF the cratch will in the course of time destroy
the vigor and power of the limbs. To adapt
simile which we have recently come across
in desultory reading, italics are the rouge of
literary composition, but not its natural COM

NEAL Dow BEFORE THE MASSACHUSETTS
LEGIsLATURE.-TheH Hon. Neal Dow appeared
before the Massachusetts Legislature yesterday
on the petition of the Massachusetts Temper
ance Alliance for the repeal of the license law.
After speaking of the harmony of interests ex-
listing between Maine and Massachusetts,, he de-
clared liquor selling to be the gigantic crime of
crimes, and quoted the sayings of several emf
nent men as holding the same view. He COM
pared the bad effects of liquor drinking with
those OF recognized crimes, and declared that
the only objection urged against prohibition
was that it could not bs enforced. He then
proceeded to show how thoroughly the law was
enforced in Maine, declaring that the liouor
selling was confined to the lowest and degraded
foreigners, who were strangers to the countIy
and its institutions. At this several gentle.
men sprang up excitedly and declared that
they were not going to sit still and hear for
eigners abused uniustly. The chairman Of the
committee warned Mr.. Dow not to bs too Sc
we're, and Mr.. Dow expressed his regret that he
had offended by stating fact. He declared
that there was not an open bar in the state of
Maine, and that the only way to get liquor was
in some low, degraded place. Several gentle.
men sprang to their feet and declared that it
was no such thing, that liquor could be got in
Portland without the slightest trouble. Mr.
Dow replied that such a.statement was false.
