THEY MAY HANG THOUGH
RICH.

The application for the writ of
haJeds corpus made by Robert and Bird
Moore, accomplices of John D. Hunt,
the murderer of Hon. ]. G.. Killougb,
will be heard Tuesday before Judge
Lytt Moore, at lagrange. 1t is hardly
probable that the writ will be granted.
Developments made since the assassi-
nation render 1t unquestionably true
that these two men, and even
another, were accessories before
the fact. They accompanied, it
is said, the assassin to the spot
where the diabolical deed was done
and gave him the cowardly assassin's
courage that nerved the arm that did
the internal deed. Within an hour, it
is told, this pItieable murderer con-
fessed to friend, as the neighbors all
know, 81 have killed Killough, but
wish had died in his stead ~. He was
forced to do the deed, which he alb
horred, by hearts blacker than that
which beats in his bosom. His con-
duct is redeemed, If there be redemp-
ton for such a villain, by his regrets {;
but there can be no pardon for those
who went with him to the spot and
made him the agent to wreak their
hates upon the head of an unoffendlng,
unarmed man and in the presence of
his wife and child. Hunt was not only
badgered aud bu!lied into the perpetrs-
ton of the crime, but we are induced
to believe that money was given
the assassin, who was also
provided by the vile conspirstors with
money for his flight, and with the
empty pistol freshly fired, which was
dropped beside the dying Killough.
Such deed of infamy has been rarely

makes civilization shudder, and it
may be well that the mere tool and
agent of the conspirators and real as
sassIn has temporarily escaped, if this
fact lead to the conviction of these de-
liberate but cowardly plotters of crime.

AN ANEcpoTE OF BIsMARK In 1850,
when the tide of political passion was
still running very high, Bismark went
one day into tavern in Berlin to take
glass of beer. A man near him feel
ing himself supported by the presence of
friends began to abuse member of the
royal family. Bismark looked at him
and quietly said: IF you have not left
this room before | finish my beer I'll
break this pot over your head" He
then emptied his glass very deliberately
and, as the man took no heed of the
warning, he did as he had threatend
He went up to the fellow and knocked
him about the head with the pot until
he fell howling on the ground. Bismark
then asked the waiter: s.How much for
the glass r and. having paid for it, he
walked away leisurely, without any one
having dared to molest him. Even at
that time he was man OF some political
standing and the acknowledged leader
of the Conservative party; but, true TO
his principle, he always took the often,
sive, attacking bis adversaries wherever
he met them, and with ell weapons.

WoMEN's TASTE AND SMELL. = The
marked superiority of women over men
is on few points more remarkable than
in their superior powers of smelling and
tasting. A woman viii detect the
faintest odor of tobacco, when man,
even though non-smoker, fails to dis
cover any symptoms of it. As with
smell, so with taste. Women are mar
velously acute and fastidious in the mat
ter of sauces and all favoring ingredients.
This faculty has been recognized in a
most pleasing manner by the composition
of the jury who are to decide in Paris
ON the merits of the mustards of various
nations. The mustard Congress is to
consist of twelve gentlemen and an equal
number of ladies. This arrangement,
it is stated, is owing to suggestion
that the palates of men are vitiated by
smoking; whereas women, who as a
rule do not indulge in that permcious
habit, are likely to be better qualified to
form correct opinion on the merits OF
condiments.

PAREpA AND CARL RosA-The pub
lie smiled at the union between the
great Parepa and little Carl Rosa, when
she might have at least been countess.
The story of the engagement is charac-
teristic. Rosa was leader, quiet
worthy, modest and adoring. He never
ventured to press his claims, but his
faithful services made a deeper impress
sion than he had an idea of. The COM
pany was travelling by rail one day,
when Parepa seated herself beside her
silent lover, and remarked his melan-
choly. Rosa was blue and down-hearted,
and the good creature tried to cheer
him up. She recommended matrimony
to him, and receiving a Respondent re-
ply that no woman would marry man
in his position, she is reported to have
patted him patronizingly on the head,
with the remark: "Cheer up, my little
man; if that is all I will marry you my
SELF And she did. A happier or more
devoted couple than the big-hearted
prima donna and her little manager
never existed.

ABOUT BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-How
eagerly men are engaged In the pursuit
of beautiful women, and how little do
they dream of its brief existence! This
is undoubtedly In obedience to su-
preme law growing out of our organiza-
tion, for who does not love order,
harmony, symmetry, and perfection in
all thingsl But, in this pursuit, it
would be well to remember that there
are qualities of far more Importance
than personal charms. True, We may
be fascinated with dark, lustrous and
beautiful eye, the crimson blush of a
cheek, and a graceful, symmetrical form;
but, after all, the inquiry should be: Is
there a soul within2 Is there elevation
of thought, generous principles, noble
purposes, cultivated intellect Ii not,
what else would woman of beautiful
personal appearance be but as a doll or
gilded toy2 How long could a man of
genius be induced to worship at such a
shrinel How long before his affections
would assume the form of hatred or con-
temptl Powerful passions and strong
affections invariably accompany the man
of genius Hence it is clear that unless
personal charms envelope cultivated
mind as well as the sterling qualities Of
virtue, the noblest impulses of affection
in such man will soon be extinguished,
and his fondest hopes blasted in the
selection of partner for life. Nothing
is more desirable to man of genius in
this life than the ardent affections Of a
good sensible woman, and, on the other
hand, no offering on earth is SO accept
able to woman as the sincerest affection
of the man of genius and truth.

What ! Fly DID.

James Howard, Of Walker, married
an interesting young lady named Sym
monds about year ago, and they have
lived costly and happily together ever
since But the other morning an in
quisitive and hungry fly dropped down
from his perch on the ceiling, and,
stretching his legs, began skirmishing
around for his breakfast. He crawled
slowly around Mr.. Howard's cofee-cup
once or twice, shifting the delicious
aroma, and wondering how he could
manage to get drink, when his foot
slipped, he lost his grip, and in mo-
ment more was foundering around in
the liquid. His struggles attracted the
attention Of James, and he pulled him
out and playfully tossed him across the
table. The unfortunate fly alighted in
wet and bedraggled condition on Mrs.
HIS plate. She Indignantly grabbed
him and flung him back into her hus-
bands plate. James gazed steadily at
her moment, and seeing blood in her
eye, deliberately picked up the fly, and,
with hand trembling with suppressed
rage, threw it back on her plate. Then
began a regular game of shuttlecock be-
tween the two, and that fly few back
and forth until he was completely worn
out Then the young wife, bursting
into tears, seized her bonnet and rushed
from the house to the residence of her
parents, vowing she would never come
back, and James went out to the barn,
swearing to himself. In AN hour or SO
the father of the much-abused wife came
over with team and removed all her
baggage, and now they s'meet as friends
no more" They have separated for
good, and thus two lives are rendered
miserable by the single misstep of fly.
On such small things do our destinies
depend

The Cure for Hossip.

Everybody must talk about some
thing The poor fellow who was told
not to talk for fear that the people
would find out that he was q fool, made
nothing By the experiment He was
considered fool because he did not
talk ON some subject or other. Every
body must have something to say, or
give up society. OF course the topics Of
conversation will relate to the subjects
of knowledge. IL a man is interested
in science he will talk about science. If
he is an enthusiast in art he will talk
about art. If he is familiar with itera-
ture, and is an intelligent and persistent
reader, he will naturally forward literary
topics in his conversation. So with
social questions and religious. Out of
speaketh. That of which the mind is
full, that with which it is furnished will
come out in expression. The very
simple reason why the world is full Of
gossip is that those who indulge in it
have nothing else in them They must
interest themselves in something. They
know nothing but what they learn from
day to day III intercourse with and OBJ
seryation of their neighbors. What
these neighbors do, what they say, what
happens to them In social or business
affairs, what they wear, these become
the question of supreme interest. The
personal and social life around them
this is the book under constant perusal,
| and out of this comes that pestiferous
conversation we call gossip. The world
is full of it, and in million houses all
over the country nothing is talked of
but personal affairs of neighbors. What
is the cure for gossip Simply culture.
There is good deal of gossip that has
no malignity in it. Good-natured peo-
pie talk about their neighbors because,
and only because, they have nothing
else to talk about. Gossip is always a
personal confession, either of malice or
imbecility, and the young should not
only shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all
temptation to indulge in it. 1t is low,
frivolous and too often dirty business.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION

desire to urge upon you the Importance of
taking some efficient measures for equalizing
assessments throughout the State. The bur-
den of taxation now falls with unequal weight
upon the different counties, and inequality in
this matter is injustice. As necessary re-
suit, also, there is constant and serious loss
of public revenue. / know of no better
remedy for this evil than the establishment of
a State Board of Equalization, with such limi-
tations and restrictions upon its powers as
will prevent injustice to individuals as well
as to counties. | invite your earnest atten-
ton to this subject.

Popular SuperstitiOns Of the Turks.

The interpretations of dreams gives
rise to much cogitation, and furnishes
frequent topic of conversation for Turks,
men and women. Fire means sudden
news, as water forecasts a journey. A
person who has reputation for explain.
ing dreams finds a ready welcome every
where in the East. The Evil Eye is
feared by all classes. 1t is to divert
harmful admiration from her own beau
ty to her ornaments that Turkish bride
decks herself with diamonds pasted on
chin, cheeks and forehead; for this that
she shrouds her face with glittering
veil of thin, copper -colored strips of tin
foil; for this that she sits under the aski
"a festooned canopy of artificial green
boughs, with punches of dyed feathers
and shining metal balls completing the
decorations. 1t is for this that every
Turkish baby has its little muslin skull
cap, adorned with medallion of pearls.

ROses-Their Increase.

According to De Prouville, French
writer. there were, in 1914, only 1872
varieties of roses, and the advantage Of
multiplication by seed is sufficiently
evinced by the fact that there are now
more than six thousand varieties, the
poorest of which are much better than
any which existed at that day. Among
the earliest cultivators of roses from the
seed were three Frenchmen-Dupont,
Vilmorin and Descemet. The former
was the gardener of the Empress Joseph
inc. When the allied armies entered
Paris in 1916, the garden of Descemet
contained 10000 Seeding roses, which
Vibert, in his anxiety to secure from de-
struction, succeeded in carrying to the
interior.
In England very little attention seems
at that time to have been paid to the
production of new varieties from seed,
and the English relied very much upon
the continent for their choice roses.
Now, however, they are abundantly re-
deeming their reputation, and many fine
varieties have been produced by the
English rose-growers, at the head OF
whom stands Rivers, whose efforts are
seconded by Wood, Poul, Lane and
others. They are still, however, COM
PEELED to yield to the French cultivators,
for to these we are indebted for our fin
est roses-for Lamarque, Solfaterre,
La Refine, Chromatella, the new white
Perpetuals, Souvenir de Malmaisou and
others.
The varieties of roses became increas-
ingly great after the introduction of the
Bengals, Noisettes, Teas and Bourbons
all these classes producing readily
from seed, and IN endless variety. There
is willingness to cast asi e the old for
the new, and however much we may re-
gret this disposition, for some old and
truly deserving favorites, we cannot feel
willing to denounce it, for it exhibits a
gratifying evidence of desire for i'm
provement, and the existence OF spirit
of progress, which, dissatisfied with
things as they are, is continually striv-
ing after nearer approaches to perfec-
tion.-NeaO England Farmer.
