moment he thought he would really be hung,
although he said so. His manner rather in.
dicated that he thought it an attempt to fright
en- q confession from him. The sisters Of the
murdered woman were brought face to face
with him and implored him to confess, which
he again refused.
The idea Of burning seemed to gain strength
and some few advocated torturing him before
death. The committee of arrangements, how.
ever, refused to allow either, and proceeded
quietly and deliberately with the preparations.
The lower branches were cut from post oak
and buggy drawn under a projecting limb.
The prisoner was bound and hangman's
knot put about his neck and the other end of
the rope securely tied to the limb, and he was
put standing on the seat of the buggy. He
said few words here, denying his guilt, and
expressing the hope that the right man might
be caught some time. He said that if ne
thought as the people did, his action would be
the same as theirs, under similar circum.
stances.
The question was put to the crowd whether
his request that his body be turned over to
his family should be granted, and general con.
sent was obtained.
Maj. T. w. Woodward, Of Winnsboro, ap-
peared on the scene and made an earnest
speech, advising all to await the action of the
law. He was listened to quietly, but as soon
as he concluded, the cry again arose: Hang
him Hang him! String him up! :.
At e A. M, two men went deliberately and
quietly, took hold of the shafts Of the buggy
and drew it from under the doomed man, who
swung off amid perfect decorum and silence.
The Knot slipped to the back Of his neck and
the rope stretched so as to leave his swaying
feet brushing the leaves on the ground. He
was undoubtedly choked to death, although
he scarcely struggled and appeared to suffer
little. He hung about half an hour and was
then cut down.
Coming away, met crowds on the road
Aocking to the scene. If the execution had
been deferred to the time announced, there
would have been two thousand people Of all
ages and classes, and both colors present.
There was no excitement, whatever, and the
act is universally approved throughout the
county, where Moore had been q terror for
years. He was about 40 years old. The
lynching was the coolest, quietest and best
conducted on record. A. b. w.

ADVANTAGES OF STAYING In BED.

ADVANTAGES OF STAllN6 IN bEUs -
Taking an occasional day in bed, simply.
on account of indisposition, is, however, a very
simple and rudimentary notion Of this glorious
institution. Bed is the natural domieile OF
every man.
"In bed we laugh, in bed we cry
And born in bed, in bed we die"
Bayard, the French psychologist, maintains
ed that man is an animal who exercises the
thinking faculty best in horizontal position.
Thus, there are high artistic, and intellectual
uses connected with an occasional day in bed,
which imperatively claim discussion. Brin-
ley, the great engineer, when he was fairly
bothered and puzzled by some tough problem,
always betook himself to bed until he had
solved it. Most people have q great kindness
for lord Melbourne, who, under the afiecta-
ton of frivolity, used to get up Hebrew and
the Fathers and ndimperturbable good humor to
bear with his wife, Lady Caroline, while the
pretty Byron-struok ternagant used TO smash
the drawing-room furniture His intimate
friends would find the Premier calmly taking
breakfast in bed, with letters and dispatches
strewed all over the counterpane.
The poets have been terrible fellows to get
out ofbed. I suppose it is because the yis-
ions of the day and Of the night sweetly inter.
mingle. The poet Thompson cultivated lazi-.
ness as fne art, and thought ont his poems
in bed. Pope was still worse fellow. When
he had sft of inspiration on him, he would
keep the servants running about for him all
through the night he made amends to them
by the Righteousness of his "vails."

us some of his experience when lying in bed.

INGENIOUS TEACHER. Massachusetts,
teacher writes, describing an experiment in
the school-room, which seems to be successful.
Instead of facing his pupils he has bis desk
behind them, and thus overlooks them to
great advantage. The naughty little ones,
not knowing when his eye is on them, dare
not whisper and play They have he says,
30 frequently come to grief in attempting to
calculate chances, that they have concluded to
make virtue Of necessity, and give up play
in the school-room as Improbable, costing
more than it comes to- Another decided adj
vantage Of this system is that it completely
isolates classes reciting from the rest Of the
school; the recitation benches being in front
of the teachers desk, between him and the
school, and the backs Of the pupils toward
each other, communication by look or signs Is
out of the question. The only special rule
made is that pupils shall not look around.

strange hope that might all along have been

affair remained a mystery, only to be fully

Providence, brought DR.. Snow and myself in
contact"
Here a sudden movement from Maurice,
who had continued hitherto perfectly still, in
terrupted his recital and brought both of them
quickly to the bedside. The sick mans eyes
were open, and met theirs with an intelligent
gaze. He tried to speak, but his weakness
rendered it difficult to hear him. His broth
er bent over him, and distinguished his own
name.
"He knows me-" said Murrell, in an eager
undertone to his wife. "Csll the doctor
quickly, Rachel, while I stay beside him."
This sign of consciousness was the beginning
of Maurice's convalescence. It soon became
evident that the physicians opinion had not
been too sanguine, and that the shock caused
by his fall had effected complete revolution
in his mental condition. His reason was en-
tirely restored. Though for many days he
continued too weak to talk, or hold inter-
course with his attendants save by signs and
faint broken words.
He had no recollection Of ever having seen
Rachel before; but he soon evinced liking
for her, and became fond Of seeing her near
him. When bis strength began to return, he
would sometimes hold short conversations
with Murrell concerning affairs and events
connected with their past life, which showed
that he had not forgotten anything that had

Distributing Disease.

Two men entered Camps furniture
store on Friday and offered for sale a
half dozen blankets and coverlids.
The proprietor of the store not liking
their story, relative to how they came
by the sfticles, or their reasons for dis
posing Or them at this season of the
year, concluded that there was some
thing wrong, and consequently disa-
greed about the purchase price of the
articles, asking them, however, to come
In again, which in the morning they
did. During The interim of their going
and coming, Mr.. Camp acquainted the
city marshal with the facts in the case,
who stepped in upon them as they were
In the store the second time. He
recognized the articles as belonging to
the pest house. Examination proved
that he was correct, so he at once ar
rested the men. They will be tried to-
morrow. This is a serious offense, not
alone because of the theft, or the in
trinsic value Of the articles, but be-
cause of the possible consequences.

The Public School.

We visited the public school on Fri
day, the 18th inst, and found 1t well
organized under the revised course Of
study. There were about $50 pupil. in
attendance. The new course Of study
Is synthetical and progressive from the
beginning to its close. The several
branches taught In a graded school are
all commenced in the lowest grade in
the school, and continued in the sue
cesIve higher grades by evenly graded
steps. Lessons in reading. spelling,
writing, number lessons, lessons in
geography, in drawing, In language
and music are given in all the classes
and grades. Object lessons are also
given daily to each class. Particular
attention is given in the new course to
language and the natural sciences.
AL lessons, whether In reading, writ
ing, numbers, spelling, drawing. or
geography, are made to be drills in the
correct use of language; complete SEN
fences, as answers to each and every
question, are required Of the pupil. In
the intercourse of teacher and pupil,
complete sentences are required for all
expressions Of thought. The course
for this branch is based upon the idea
that language, from the beginning, is
q growth, and that the quality Of the
product depends largely upon the
amount OF pruning at th~edproper time.
The steam heater is nearly in its
proper place. 1t will be ready for use
by the last Of next week. Radiators
ARE placed In all Of the halls as well as
In all Of the rooms. These are con-
nscted TO the heater by pipes. The
steam after being used is condensed
and returned to the boiler, thus
making 1t almost automatic in It's ac-
ton. The steam can be turned OH to
or on from the radiators at pleasure.
A philosophical apparatus has been
ordered from the national school fur
niture company, Of Chicago, and is
daily expected. New books for the
library have also been selected and
ordered.
1t is our opinion that the Cheyenne
public school will soon possess the
requisite facilities for becoming, l. 1t is
not already, one of the best schools in
the great west.
