PEELED the Summers, Adamses,

The party which announced itself
as superlatively Republican is
ready to surrender every precious
tradition of the Republic in regard
to third terms, trad itions enforced
by the warnings of Washington
and Jefferson, to drive in the en-
tering wedge which would be de-
signed to convert the Republic into
an Empire. Never in the history
of parties was such weakness
avowed before, and the reception
of the monstrous proposition by the

be more sacred than the private
correspondence of citizen, COM
mitted to the public mails? Yet,
by Mr.. Stanton's orders, 1 assist
ed to open hundreds of letters that
passed through the General Post
Office at Washington, just after the
assassination, when every letter adj
dressed to Canada was thus stopped.
Mr.. Stanton's justification was that
the agents of Jefferson Davis who
were then in Canada were the in
stigators of the assassination plot.
The letters opened to detect these
supposed machinations led to very
curious results in revealing other
matters not directly sought for, and
many brilliant career of army
officer and politician was stultified
by those revelations, which they
little suspected would ever be seen
by the powerful War Minister.

The ourt of Assizes in Valoh
Russia, had the case presented of a
boy of nine who had murdered his
mother. The latter, since the re-
cent death of her husband, had
permitted herself to form an inti-
macy with government func-
iionary, which her son became
aware of, and by which he was
deeply mortified. He brooded over
his mothers conduct and begged
her to change her course. The
mother laughed, and without fur.
ther listening told him not to med
die with matters that concerned
not his age. The boy resolved on her
death, and dug a grave for her.
One night he entered her room
with a hatchet, and, after contem-
plating the sleeping woman, and
pray. z for her, fell asleep him
self. His mother found him in
the morning with the hatchet by
his side. She questioned him with
alarm regarding the hatchet. He
gave satisfactory excuse, and
rene wed his supple tions for
a cessation of her bad conduct. She
told him TO hold his tongue. On
the night following he killed her as
she sleDt with single blow of the
hatchet, and dragged her to the
grave he had prepared. A search
was made by the police, and the
freshly stirred earth with which
the boy had filled the cavity ex-
cited suspicion. The body wns
found and the boy was arrested.

There was queer and very in

limantic Thread Company's mile,
and the managers paid off their
help in gold coin. 1t was the frat
time in the history of the concern
that gold has been actually used
for the payment of wages, and its
reception by the throng of women
and men and girls and boys as they
came up for their pay was q curious
study. A few of the older work.
men who had lived abroad were
familiar with the stuff, but to most
Of them it was strange sight and

receiving her pay (S19) and count
Ing 1t over, came back to the over

"pve brought back the money.
There's dollar, half dollar and

She had received a ten dollar

and q two-and-a-half gold piece

A philosophic barber, who has
more than once contributed to the
wisdom of these columns, relates
to us a test which we think comes
very near being infalllble. He
was talking about the facility with
which experts cleared great for.
gers and thieves, and said it was
different with a case in his neigh
borhood. A young darkey broke
open an old darkey's trunk and
stole some money from it. He was
found out, and some friends inter-
ceded with the old man for the
youngster, saying that he was
crazy. "Crazy! the devilW said
the old man; "if he had broke open
my trunk and put some money
thar, L might have thought So"
He whaled the boy.

on first observing the reviving effects up

An AIIigator's Bill Of Fare.
(Lake City, Fla, Reporter.


On the 3lst ul.imo, while some
of the hands were going to work In
the field of Colonel Mcleod, ad-
joining town, they discovered a
very large alligator making its
way to Hamburg lake. Colonel
Mcleod fired both barrels of shot
gun, loaded with buckshot, into its
neck. Then field hoe was brought
up, but the first blow shivered the
stout pine helve. An axe was then
brought, with which he was killed.
An examination showed that it had
feasted upon hogs head, turtle,
and about a peck Of blackberries.
Though but fifteen feet in length,
it was the largest ever killed in
this part of Florida in the lakes or
fresh water streams. The blow
did not penetrate the skin. No
one that we have ever met ever
knew before that alligators were
fond of blackberries, and how one
can manage to pick the berries is
still q mystery.
