Disappointed Hopes.
New Orleans Picayune.

o The colored colonists from South
Carolina, Georgia and other States of
that neighborhood, who went to Lii
IBERIA Two years ago, would not ap-
pear to have achieved the full meas
ure of liberty, prosperity and .happi.
ness that they had anticipated would
be theirs in the land of their ances-
tors. From what can be CLEANED of
their experience in the Republic of
Liberty, great many of them would
like to return 10 their old homes in
the solid South. Some of them have
succeeded in so doing. One Of them,
young woman named Laura Layne,
of Valdosta, Ca, presents some facts
connected with the manners aud cus-
toms of the natives of Liberia that
ought to deter further colored emf
grafton from the South that way. !"
One custom is, when a child Is
born, to stuff its mouth with red pep
per and lay 1t out in the sun for an
hour. This gentle regimen is consid-
cred indispensable for oil lnewly born
Liberian colored babes; it is certain
TO make them healthy and strong.
1t would seem indeed to require q
strong and healthy babe TO endure
such fiery hygienic treatment. Laura
then goes on to say that the natives
are very hard on our people when
they commit crime" An example of
this demoralized condition Of the ma
tive African is given in the case of
Reuben Cayho, one of the emigrants.
Reuben had appropriated to bis own
uses, without permission, something
that belonged to a native. The latter
did not get. out a warrant against
Reuben and put il In the hands of a
constable or policeman, to be fol-
lowed by Reuben's arrest, examina-
tion and bailment or sent down to
the District Court, ETC., etc., etc. No ;
this ignorant and unsophisticated
African called his brethren to his as
sistance. They at once caught Reu.
ben, tied big rock around his neck
and threw him in the river. And
that said Laura was the last OF him =
And that was the last Of Laura, too
in Liberia. She left, H
To Laura's simple story should be
added the more striking narrative Of
the Rev. Floyd Snelson,i colored
missionary to Africa. He delivered
n lecture not longl ago at Americus
Ca, on what he saw in the old coun-
try" One feature of the discourse
will suffice to show that justice is ad'
minisiered in such manner among
these semibarbarous natives as put
to shame the dilatory processes O
civilized cou ntries. One mode of ex
ecuticn for criminal offense is tt

How to Advertise.

A Hartford (Conn.) man was de.
nouncing newspaper advertising to o
crowd Of listners. Last week, said
he, al had an umbrella stolen from
the vestibule of the Church.
1t was a, gift; and valueing it very
highly, / spent double its worth in
advertising, but l have not recovered
it" ' -''' '"''''i lNi s,nri
'IIow did you word the advertiser

"Here it is," said the man, produ-
cling o slip cut from newspaper. il
The merchant took 1t and read:q
r"Lost from the vestibule of the
-- Church, last Sunday evening,

man who took it viii be handsomely
rewarded by leaving it at No. San
Fernando street." j19 y o.! ffg1
Said the merchant @Now, i am a
liberal advertiser, and have always
found it paid me well. A great
deal depends upon the manner in
which an advertisement adiis
put, Let us try for your umbrella
again, and If you do not then &C.
knowledge that advertising pays, !
will purchase you new one"
The merchant then took slip Of
paper from his pocket and wrote: g. l'

The Penalty Of Flirting.

the pretty daughters of the farmers
roundabout earn few dollars during

with one Of the fair damsels. He
writes: We sat opposite young Pons-
by, who is here with his mamma, o

much urbanity and gray pufis at the

of his parents absence from break

openly with the waitress. The CO.
quetish waitress, evidently believing
that what is sauce for breakfast is
sauce for dinner, beamed upon the
hapless Edward, who turned very

there were no more clam fritters, bul

Kills His Wife and His Mother
90 in.Law 3r.h1i o,|

st. Louis, August 14.-A cold
blooded and most atrocious double
murder was committed here tonight.
Thaddeus Baber, plumber. who
keeps a small shop at the corner of
Sixth and Popular street, and who
lives with his family, consisting Of
his Wife, "a little boy about seven
years old and his wife's mother, an
old German woman named Schoudler,
at SIT South Fourth.street, quarrelgd
with his wife four or five days ago
and left home. About half past 7
o'clock to night he returned. slipped
into the house, and while his mother
in-law sat reading and his wife was
lying on a bed in the same room. fired
bullet into Mrs. Schoudler's brain,
killing her almost instantly, and then
shot his wife through the left breest,
inaicting a mortal wound. He then
left the house, but was arrested d few
Minutes later and locked up. Aside
from the fact that Mrs.. Bah er v as
weak from the effect of the injury re-
ceivcd, she was extremely reticent,
and would give no particulars Of the
affair or tell what the quarrel between
her and her husband was about. She
was sent to the hospital.
Baber has made statement since
his arrest, to the effect that he for
mcrly lived in Richmond, Virgins;
that the young woman he shot to
night is not his wife, but he has liYed
with her off and on for several years;
that he wished to marry her, but the
old woman, her mother, would. not
CONSENT, that the old woman forced
her daughter to prostitute herself for
money as source OF revenue, and
that she was vicious and vile; that
when she left the house few days
ago, It was in consequence of quarrel
with Mrs. Schoudler about her daugh
ter, he wishing to. marry the latter,
but the old woman refusing to give
her consent; that he went tothe house
tonight under the impression, and
believing a man was there with the
daughter, and if so. he wanted to
know it,; that when he entered the
room where the women were Mrs
Schoudler drew pistol on him and
he shot her; that he, did not intend tc
shoot the daughter, but after the first
shot, was fired he heard noise in al
adjoining room, the door of which h,
opened. and, thinking he saw a man
he raised his pistol hastily to defens
himself. when It was discharged unin
tentionally, the allstriking the young
woman in the breast. He regret
this part of the affair very much, bu
rather glolies in the killing Of the Oh
woman, and says he is willing to ham
for it. The child mentioned is sal,

young woman. -tC
