We are sure our readers will thank us for
calling their attention to the very handsome
advertisement of the Excelsior Manufacture

for us to try to say anything in favor Of their
Grand Charter Oak Cooking Stove. Theyery
word suggests the thought Of a well cooked
meal followed by easy digestion, vigorous
health. and desire to have and to do plenty
of real 2r0rk, to say nothing Of the comfort
of a happy, contented household.

There is said to be young man in
the Missouri penitentiary whose per-
ents. at their death, left him o fortune
of $4,000. There is where his par
ents made fatal mistake. Ii they
had taken the precaution to invest that
sum in a small dog, and shot him, and
then simply left the young man jack
plane or wood-saw, with printed in
structions how to use it, the chances
are that instead of being in the peni-
tentiary, he would to-day have been
gradually but surely working his way
up to a handsome competency and an
honorable old age. But eyer since the
days of Adam and Eve, parents have
made it point to toll aud struggle all
their lives in order to realize suffi-
cient sum of money to purchase. when
they are gone, their sons each fret
class through ticket to the devil, and
it is not much to be wondered at that
80 many Of their sous, reared in vice
and idleness, as too many of them
often are, haye no higher ambition
than to invest their inheritance In just
that aort Of transportation.

Many American girls, through mere
inattention to the way of carrying
themselves, unconsciously contract the
habit of bringing their shoulders for
ward and stopping. The position not
only detracts greatly from their ap-
pearance, but is also very pernicious
in point of health. The celebrated
Aaron Burr, in letter to his daughter,
Theodosia, afterward the wife of Gov
ernor Alston, of South Carolina,
wrote as follows on this subject:
"Your habit of STOPPING and bring
ing your shoulders forward on to your
breast not only disfigures you, but is
alarming on account of the injury to
your health. The continuance of this
vile habit will certainly produce q
consumption; then farewell papa
farewell pleasure; farewell life! This
is no exaggeration, no fiction to excite
your apprehensions. But, setting aside
this distressing consideration, [ am
astonished that you have no more
pride in your appearance. You will
certainly stint your growth and dis
figure your person"
There is reason to. believe thrt Miss
Burr gave heed to the admonition OF
her fond father: for she afterward be-
came renowned for her beauty as well
as for her superior mental endow-
ments aud accomplishments.

FIVE ON ONE GALlOWS,
THE STORY OF A BRUTAL
BAVARIAN BUTCHERY.

The lovely Bavarian villageo Ober.
near Muhldorf, is well
known to the tourists of that section of
Germany. Nesting at the base of a
range of high forest clad hills, looking
out over q broad plain, fertile with
wheat fields, among which winds a
broad shallow river, the place is re.
puted one of the most beautiful in all
the kingdom.
There is one feature of the present
scene that visitors of last summer
would find strange, however. From
the middle of the plain, looming tall
and dark out of the now snow buried
farIn-lands, rises the sinister shape Of
a high gallows upon which swing five
bodies. OF this CHASTITY company, up
OH which flocks of ravens are still
feasting, one member was the murder.
er of his own father.
The story of the patricide is one of
the most atrocious ever recorded in the
black book of murder in the whole
world. DR.. Gustave was the village
pastor of Oberneukirchen, and one OF
the best entomologists in Germany.
His collection of beetles, which were
his speciality, are to be found in every
museum Of natural history in the en-
pire, and his books on the subject are
famous in this country as we'll as In
Europe.
With the prices of these collections
and works, and the quite liberal in
come of his pastorate, he was, for the
section in which he lived, rich man.
His son, Fritz Hagler, was a black
sheep. After serving in the Bavaria
contingent during the Franco Prussian
war, he went to Brazil at the head Of
a number of emigrants, only 10 return
two years ago in company with a ma
tive woman, his mistress, and without
money.
For come time he lived in his native
village. at his fathers expense. Then
the scandal Occasioned by his open
profligate life neceesitated his removal
TO Munich, where he led the same ex.
istence as before, still spunging heav-
lily on his father.
In July last, after repeated warning,
DR.. Hagler. finally refused to safety
his demands any further, unless he di
carded his female companion and made
an effort to help himself. In the words
of the letter in which the doctor made

On December lst the survivor of the
tragedy was able to give an accurate
account of it. On December 4th, Fritz
Hagler and his associates were arrest
ed in Munich.
The companions of the patricide
were all we'll known desperadoes. The
enormity of their leaders own crime
deprived them of the slightest sym.

brief one, and the early morning Of
December 18th found them swinging,
like dreadful scarecrows, oyer the val

time in its peaceful history, stained
with blood. With the exception of the
patricide himself, the assassins died

known his decision, he mnst either be.
come "a decent man or a beggar."
Nothing was heard of the prodigal
after this until early in October. Then
he appeared at his fathers house, and
under the promise of perfect reform
obtained 500 thalers.
With this he disappeared, and it
soon became known that he was riot
ing in his usual life in Munich.
On November Goth, he again visited
Oberneukirchen. His money was gone,
and he demanded more. In the stormy
interview which followed, his father
utterly refused compliance with his
request and he left.
On the morning of November oath,
three strangers arrived at the inn at
Obernenkirchen in the diligence from
Munich. They were apparently COM
mercial travellers.
Next day two others drove into the
village in an old fashioned basket wag-
on just as night was falling. One of
these is now known to have been Fritz
Hagler. They claimed to have only
come from Muhldorf, but the jaded
condition of their horses bespoke q
much longer journey.
Instead OF going to the inn they took
supper at an obscure tavern and then
drove away. At about the same time
the three guests at the inn went out,
apparently for walk.
Two hours later q farmer coming in
to town for medicine for his sick wife,
passed a basket wagon, with two horses
tied up at the eide of the road, half q
mile out of the village, and within a
few minutes walk Of DIR. Hagler's
