How They Are Treated,

The Indianapolis journal has this: A Re-
publican Senator from Western State said
the other day: Il have been three times to
see the President since | came here in Octo-
ber; twice Gordon was there before me, and
all three times Ben Hill came in before left.
They were evidently on better footing there
than l, and l found it impossible to secure
any conversation with the President on polit-
ical matters In my State, SO came away un-
satisfied. 1t is little things like this which
make Republicans feel that the conciliation
business is being somewhat overdone."

MURDER.
Frank Graves Kills Hen Walden I'm Will
kinsOn County, Miss.

We learn that terrible homicide occurred
ON Wednesday, the 26th of December, in Will
kinson county, Mississippi, on the haywood
plantation, seven miles west OF WOodville.
About O'Clock on the morning Of the above
mentioned day, Frank Graves, so information
goes, rode up to Ben Walden, who was sitting
in his wagon near the gin-house on the Bay
wood place, and began cursing him and his
family. Graves was armed with a double
barrefed shotgun and, we are informed, with
three pistols in his pockets. The father and
brother of Walden, hearing the alteration,
approached the wagon, when Graves threat
ened to shoot them If they came nearer. He
then told Ben Walden that he had come there
to settle him. Walden told Graves that he was
unarmed, but was willing to meet him
on equal terms at any time and place he
Graves might name. Graves then raised
his gun and fired upon Walden, who fell back,
exelaiming, 20 God! I'm shotw and died.
Graves then went off short distance, drew
a pistol, and returned to see if Walden was
dead. Satisfied OF this fact, he rode rapidly
off.
We have not heard whether or not Graves
has yet been arrested. For several days it
was supposed that he had left the county,
but was subsequently seen In the neighDor-
hood. Walden was a small planter, with
father and two sisters, whom he supported.
The account, as we hear it, does not con-
tain single mitigating circumstance.

A fayorite story is told Of trial at

Paddy when he chooses to exercise his
talent in an endeavor not to pay. A doc.

one guinea, due for attendance on the

when the defendant humbly begged leave
to ask him few questions. Permission
was granted, and the following dialogue
took place:

for its truthfulness: Coming into the

II have found Daisy's Kittens
"Well," she returned, 81 am glad, for
they must all be drowned"
On going to get the kittens no trace of
them could be found. A few days after
wards, remembering that the cat was in
the room during the conversation, Mr.. K.
took her up and said: DAISY, if you will
bring me your kittens will not let her
drown one of them. "The cat Immediately
left the room, and coming back with a
kitten in her mouth laid it at his feet
with evident faith in his word. "Now,
where are the Others" he asked, and
she went and came until the four were on
the rug at his feet. MONA Z.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALs.-It pays to
treat domestic animals kindly. There is
no animal so stupid as not to know the
difference between kind and unkind treat
ment, and none so vicious or ungrateful
as not to respond in kind to the hand that
pets and caresses it. The vicious horse
has almost always been timid colt, and
required only kind and gentle treatment
to drive away fear and establish conf.
dence, to render him docle.
1t is the nature of all animals to re.
sent i'll treatment, even from one of their
own species, and to fight when imposed
upon. Thus the horse will return kick
or bite, while the horned animal will do
battle with the arms with which nature
has furnished it.
A timid and spirited colt is very Latu-
rally and rapidly changed into vicious
and unmanageable horse by rough and
unkind handling-and the timid heifer,
by the same treatment, becomes an ugly
hooking aud kicking COW. Domestic
animals recognize kind words as well as
kind acts, and o cross word at critical
moment will bring fight and deter
mined opposition, where kind word
would have Gained fear and subdued
anger. In handling domestic animals,
that man is the most successful who
governs his own passions. With do
mestic animals, kindness begets kind.
ness, and passion begets passion.
