Murder in the Jamu...

Intelligence was received In town
yesterday afternoon that Jnhn AL
exander, an old man we'll known
here, had been burned to death in
his house iD the Jamnl Valley. The
house, a small single-story frame
shanty, In which he lived alone,
was entirely consumed, and the
charred remains of the unfortunate
man were discovered in the ashes.
The belief of the neighborhOod was
that the old man had been mur-
dered, and that the house was then
set on fire to conceal the crime.
Coroner Fem, who was notified of
the tragedy, at once prUcet ded TO
the scene, and had not returned al
u late hour last night. we have
been unable to obtain any further
particulars than above given Of the
affair.-San Diego Union.
Referring to the same subject, the
Ne,0s says: Mr.. Alexander was an
unpopular man In his neighbor-
hood, and had frequent troubles
with his neighbors one way and
another, and only a short time
since was involved In trouble
with man named Smith, whom
he was charged with shooting at,
though the Grand Jury exoneratetl
him. We b lieve he had trouble
also with some Spanish setllprs
in regard to stock, and IT may be
that his unpopularity induced the
| murder.

DEATH BY STARVATION.
A Child Slowly Dying for Want Of Proper
Nourshment-A Case Which Requires I'm
mediate Attention.
lAnahelm Gazette.l

lhuanelm Gazeue.J
The readers of the Gazette are &C.
quainted with the peculiar system
of dietetics practiced by the mem.
bers of the Societds Fdternia.
They have doubtless had a hearty
laugh over the absurdity of the sys-
tenn, and have dismissed the sub
jeot from their minds with the
mental remark that II these people
choose to gorge themselves with
pumpkin seeds and green peas, it
is nobody's business but their
own.
But the affair assumes q serious
aspect when it is known that the
children of the community are
compelled to subsist on the same
neagre fare. There are three chill
dren, one of them being q mere
baby, about a year old. The child,
when eight months old, twas
weaned upon scraped APPLE" SO DIR.
Schlesinger says. TINS has been
ITS diet ever since, varied only by
occasional indulgences In dried figs,
oranges, raisins, or something of
that sort. The result is that the
child is nothing but skin and hone.
1t is being slowly starved to death.
Those who have seen the poor little
child say that it is undoubtedly dy-
ing of starvation, and that unless
some nourishment is speedily
given to 1t, it cannot live.
Two or three weeks ago a daugh-
ter OF the Rev. DR.. Toombs, whose
raSitfnnna tss IN -
by The Society, wrote respectful
note to the mother of the child,
telling her that 1t was undoubtedly
dying OF starvation, and suggesting
the propriety of giving the little
innocent that n0urishment cf
which it maniiestIy stood so much
In need. TO this missivs O most
extraordinary reply WAS made.
The mother wrote:
"I am willing to sacrilce my child to
the spirits. If It shall pass away. 1t will
not be lost to me-"
Only few weeks ago the whole
civilized world was thrilled with
horror at the recital OF the tragedy
at Pocasset, where Freeman and
wife, Second Adventist fanatics,
killed their lovely little daughter
under the belief that God desired
them to offer her up as a sacrifice.
But here is a case which exceeds
that tragedy in atrocity. In the
one case the little victim scarce felt
the keen knife which the fanatical
father plunged into her heart; but
In the present instance the hapless
infant Is condemned to a
slow and lingering death, and
torture inexpressible. What can
be though of parents who thus
revel iu the agony OF their off
spring? And what can be thought
of a community which will permit
Of such outrageous and horrible
deeds to be enacted under the man
tie OF religious belief2
It Is said that the District Attor-
ney is the only officer who can le-
gally take cognizauce of the case.
II such is the fact, we earnestly re-
quest him to give it his immediate
Let him rememb her that |
the child is wasting away hourly,
and that If anything is done 1t had |
better be done quickly.

While the amiablc idiocy that
prevailed in congress during the
reconstruction days was at its height,
the niger was enfranchised. He
was invested with the ballot on the
petty theory that he was man
and a brother, with an infusion Of
sand in his make up. 1t was given
him ON the schoolgirl notion that
affection for the party that gave
him his freedom would make him
its perpetual instrument. But the
niger is less serviceable to the re-
publican party us voter than he
was as u slave. lie needs too much
coddling-too much protection. He
can only vote the republican ticket
when surrounded by q Gordon Of
republican bayonets. There is no
grit in him, There is more voting
energy and party strength in q
dozen raw lrishmen than in q
thousand well-fcd niggcrs. There
is not an ounce Of stalwartism to u
ton Of niger. The more Niger the
less strength. AS q slave, the pic
turesquc misery Of the niger was
an uniailing armory of party wea-
pons AS d freeman there is no
romance in him--cowardiec is not
romantic. All over the South he is
throwing his ballot for rebels and
traitors, when he votes at all. lie
is too cowardly TO vote his convic-
tions, or too stupid to have any
convictions. When the stalwarts
get into power in 1881, he must
either be DISTINGUISHED or compelled
to vote right. The free Niger is II
fraud.

The Lemars Sentinel, one Of the
staunchcst Of the stalwart organs
of Iowa, has no patience with the
.cowardly niger who is afraid to vote
the Republican ticket unless he is
protected by federal bayonets; and
demands that he be DISTINGUISHED
when the stalwarts come into power
lin 1880. As this deInand comes
from "a rather obscure source and
lis evidently made by one who has
gone nmd in continual and idola-
4rous worship of the Republican
party and its saints, il, of course,
goes but u short way with sensible
people in determining the aims and
desires Of the great party which
controls the administrative branch
of our national government. But
to those specious reasoncrs who
believe the numerous vile charges
against the Democrats, and come to
their conclusions by way of selec-
tons from the Okolona Southern
States, this cry from Iowa, the most
stalwart Of oil the stalwart states Of
the Union, should have n peculiar
significance. To them il ought to
be conclusive evidence that the Re
publicans have soured on the negro
and would gladly sec him disfran-
chised, because he contributes to
the strength Of the Democrats by
increasing the representation OF the
Southern States. IL might also
prove an cllcctual campaign doeu-
Jncnt for the Democrats, il used
among the negroes.

The sanitary effects of the waters {

The sanitary effects of the waters OF
Teplitz, in Bohemia, have long been noted,
and only recently the Emperor Of Germany,
suffering from the attack of Modelling, found
great relief by their use. The curative
waters have suddenly disappeared, owing
TO the underground sources having been
disturbed by mines located near the spot.
While the workmen were digging they
struck a spring which came with such force
that twenty-one labOrers were drowned at
once. and the springs ut Teplitz at once
cave out. II i hoped 10 check this flow
and restore the underground water course,
though there are fears that this will be i'm
possible. The loss, if Improves permanent,
will he immense, and Is calculated at one
hundred millions of forms. Imagine the
sudden disappearance Of the springs at
Saratoga. and we have some idea of the
calamity. The place has been frequented
nv ten to twenty thousand visitors each
year
