THE DEATH OF MRS. HULL--A
CONFESSION NOW IN ORDER.

The papers are filed with disquisitions
on the enormity of the murder of Mrs.
Hull. Her death was terrible occur
renee, but we doubt very much whether
it was murder at all, We are rather
inclined to think it was a case OF man
slaughter.
Manslaughter, to the unprofessional
reader, seems misnomer as applied to
the Staying of a woman; but in legal par
lance it is perfectly correct, and the term
manslaughter applies to the killing OF a
woman, under certain circumstances, as
we'll as the killing Of man under sim
liar circumstances.
We do not believe that the death, by
violence, of Mrs. Hull, was preceded by
deliberate purpose to take her life.
The Circumstantial evidence goes toshow
that she was killed under some sudden
evaporation, and that she was subse-
quently bound merely to divert suspic-
ion.
The sooner her slayer, whoever he
may be, confesses the truth, the better
for him.
One of the most celebrated capital ca
ses ever tried in this country was that OF
Dr. Webster, indicted for the murder of
DR.. Parkman, in Massachusetts,. They
were both distinguished men. DR.. Web
ster was convicted; and finally, before
his execution, he confessed he killed
DIR. Parkman, but insisted that he did it
in sudden ebullition of passion. He
said Parkman exasperated him by
taunting remarks, to resent which he
seized hammer lying by and hit him,
with no intention of inhicting mortal
injury. Parknan fell dead. Then Web
ster said he concealed the remains to
prevent exposure and the disgrace to his
family.
We have always thought the probabil-
tiles were that DR.. Webster's confession
was true. But it came too late. The
Governor and the Council refused to give
heed to it, and he was hanged.
If the person who killed Mrs. Hull
would come out at once and confess the
whole truth, his chance of escaping the
utmost penalty of the law would be bet
ter than it ever will be hereafter. The
circumstances are all in his favor now.
At future day they may not be.
But let it be a voluntary confession,
made of his own accord, and thus entit-
led to all the weight accorded to such
confessions. We would chez rfully pub
lish such a confession free of charge, in
the columns of the Sun, no difference
who the guilty party may be.-N. Y Sun.

MORAL COURAGE.

Public men have duties to perform
from which there is no escape. No one
high in position can turn deaf ear to
the remonstrances of his fellow citizens
against measures inimical to other inter-
ests, To surrender his personal indie
pendence to the dictates Of mercenary
few is to acrifce the welfare of the
many to the selfish interests of individ.
uals. When riotand anarchy are abroad
in the land; when fanaticism kindles the
torch ofthe incendiary; when pestilence
mows down whole communities, it is his
duty to step to the front, and show an
example of self.sacrifcing devotion that
may nerve the hearts of the desponding
to struggle against a common calamity
Whoever is placed above the general
mass, shether he be statesman, secular
or popular leader, it is his duty to lead
the van, and front the perils that menace
public health and the safety Of society.
Irresclution and moral cowardice on the
part of public men, in great extremities,
is little else than crime. Moral cour-
age has given to some of the humblest
names in history more solid and endur-
ing glory than which irradiates the his
tory of the most famous military heroes.

DOWN ON THE DARKEY.

While the smiable idiocy, that prevail
ed in Congress during the Reconstruc.
tion days, was at its height, the niger
was enfranchised.
He was invested with the ballot on
the pretty theory that he was man and
a brother, with an infusion of sand in
his make up. 1t was given to him on
the schoolgirl notion, that affection for
the party that gave him his freedom
would make him its perpetual instru.
ment. But the niger is less serviceable
to the Republican party as footer than
he was as slave. He needs too much
coddlipg-too much protection. He can
only vote the Republican ticket when
surrounded by a Gordon of Republican
bayonets. There is no grit in him. There
is more voting energy and party strength
in dozen raw Irishmen than in thou
sand we'll fed niggers. There is not an
ounce of Stalwartism in a ton of nigger.
The more niger the less strength. As
slave, the picturesque misery of the
niger was an unfailing armory of party
weapons, as a freeman there is no 70.

his ballot for rebels and traitors, when

A LOVE AFFAIR IN THE LIFE OF
SIR WALTER SCOTT.

1t is an old saying, "Whom first we
love we never wed," and this, though
not strictly true, may be applied to By
ron, Scott, George Washington, and nu-
merous other men of note. 1t is inter-
esting to observe how poets generally
present their love matters to the public.
The personal experience of such men
will crop out. Scott, for instance, fell
deeply in love in early life with girl of
family, and as he was then a
poor barrister, there was no prospect Of
success. His father knowing this, and
being desirous to bring the matter to a
close, suggested to the parents the pro
priety Of terminating the acquaintance,
andthis was done in the least painful
manner. The lady was the only daugh-
ter Of Sir John Stewart Of Forfarshire,
and she afterward married Sir William
Forbes, the noted Edinburgh banker.
As Scott was q well educated young man,
of fine personal appearance and asreea-
BILE manners, there could be but little
reason for giving the banker preference
except for his wealth and social rank.
Scott felt this keenly through life, and
in "Rokeby" he revives the episode at
some length. Matilda, the heroine of
the poem, represents the object of his
early love, who there rejects a poet in
favor of one Of higher rank, and this
scene becomes doubly interesting as a
picture of Scott's early experience. In
1911 Lady Forbes died, but she had liv-
ed long enough to see the once penniless
barrister the first poet in Scotland. Her
death was deeply felt by Scott, for al
though he had been married for years,
the old fame was not extinguished.

Lockhart says "that there is nothing

HINTS TO BATHERs.


The Royal Humane Society Of Eng.
land has issued the following seasonable
advice to bathers: "Avoid bathing
within two hours after a meal, or when
exhausted by fatigue or from any other
cause, or when the body is cooling after
perspiration, and avoid bathing alto.
gether in the open air il, after being a
short time in the water, there is sense
of chilliness, with numbness of the
hands and feet, but bathe when the body
is warm, provided no time is lost in get
ting into the water. Avoid chilling the
body by sitting or standing undressed on
the banks or in boats, after having been
in the water, or remaining too long in
the water, but leaving the water imme-
diately where there is the slightest feeling
of Cbilliness. The vigorous and strong
may bathe early in the morning on an
empty stomach, but the young and
those who are weak had better bathe
two or three hours after meal; the
best time for such is from two or three
hours after breakfast. Those who are
subject TO attacks of giddiness or faint.
ness, and who suffer from palpitation
and other sense of discomfort at the
heart, should not bathe without first
consulting their medical adviser" After
bathing vigorous use Of the towel is
very beneficial, and should be followed
when necessary by moderate exercise
till gentle reaction sets in. The old no.
ton about the danger of plunging into
cold water when the body is heated has
long ago been exploded. In fact it is
now clearly established that the colder
the water the hotter should be the
bather. Fever patients it is we'll known
never take cold even if wholly immers-
ed for brief intervals in ice water. If
the body is not already in a vigorous
glow, bathing is sure to do more harm
than good. h'.a
