ParbOiling Themselves.

The Huntsville (Ala.) Independent of
n recent issue says: One of the most
sickening affairs, if, indeed, it is not the
most horrible, which it has ever been
our duty to chronicle, happened last
Saturday on the premises of Mr.. Solon
Kelley, about eight miles from Hunts
vile. There was hog killing in pro-
gress, and two colored men, Robert and
Dennis Patrick, brothers. got into a dis
pute about each others share in the
years crop. A long kettle filled with
water was near by. The water in the
kettle had been heated to such "A high
degree that they were waiting for it to
cool IA little in order to scald hogs in it.
The water was SO hot that they were
afraid it would "set" the hair OF the
hogs. This was the high temperature
of the water when the brothers began to
quarrel. Dennis, who was the Oldest,
told Robert that he would put him in
the kettle if he didn't shut up, and
Robert, the preacher brother, told Den
mis- that if he put him (Robert) in the
water he (Dennis) would have to go
with him. Dennis caught Robert and
pressed him back in the direction OF the
! kettle. He pressed him, both of them
| having their arms locked meanwhil
until they both went headlong into the
kettle of seething water. Their piteous
and awful screams and means soon at
tracted others to the place, who frally
extricated them from the boiling caul-
| dron.
They retained their senses when frs
taken out, and their intense agonie:
were simply beyond description. They
at once complained of their hot clothes
and when these were taken from theil
limbs, great flakes of boiled flesh wen
with them, leaving their bones exposed
Their boards fell out and their hai
dropped from their heads. They haC
literally been cooked alive. The sigh
was such that those who witnessed i
were well-nigh paralyzed with horror.
All possible measures Of relief wer
tried during the night, but Robert die'
next day and Dennis died on Monday.

Timely TOPICS.

Mr.. A. S. Fuller, of Ridgewood, n. j.,
whose chronological cabinet is said to
contain 200 species of beetles alone"
is credited with the declaration that of
the hundred thousand species of insects
in the United States. there is "not one
hundred whose true history is well
known" So he reminds active young
men that there is little room still left
for them in this line of study, and men
tions for their encouragement that one
person bug-hunting in florida found

bugs that were previously rated at S75

The Detroit Free Press says that the
practice of locking passengers in the
railroad coaches is custom that would
never be tolerated in America. The
very fact that the door was locked would
stir an irresistib e impulse in the liberty
loving bosom of the average American
to kick it open There is even in Eng
land sort of mild idea of this kind
afoat. A gentleman of this city, Who
has travelled a good deal in Britain, says
that most of the knowing passengers
there provide themselves with the small
square keys that will unlock the door OF
the British railroad carriage. Those
nervous passengers who do not like to
travel with locked doors, yet have no
key, can easily make one with apiece OF
silver of the requisite size. Strange as
it may appear, the door is unlocked in
this way by slipping the silver in the
guards hand while the appropriate
words are whispered in his ear.

EdisOn's Rival.

Edison is all very well in his way,
but the inventor that will be remem-
bered when all Others are forgotten is a
party named Mickey, who has Just
rendered his fellow-men an inestimable
service by producing an apparatus called
the Married Mans Indicator, or the
patent domestic Barometer" This
ingenious device is simply a wonder
fully sensitive arrangement of the ordi-
nary barometer, which infallibly detects
the most minute alterations in the
atmospheric conditions. The married
man, returning late from the alleged
lodge" or other locally contraband OF
war, indulges in no fearful speculations
as to his reception. He simply takes
his indicator from its case and inserts
a projection, arranged for the purpose,
through the key-hole. Instantly the
domestic temperature within is recorded
by the dial. Ifit marks S. F.-set fair

Khan, who is brother of Yakoob Khan,
when he left Cabul with other royal
sirdars to join our camp at Kushi, in
structed confidential servant to bury
some of his treasure. On Ibrahim's re-
turn with us the confidential servant

was not to be found. lbrahim, how

the business, and giving him credit for

How the Count JOannes Was Bounced.

The death of the Count Joannes re-
calls All incident in the editorial room
of the Boston Transcript some years ago,
before the Count left Boston, and when
the genial Dan. Haskell was editor OF
the paper. The Counts frequent visits
had become source of annoyance to
Haskell and his associates in the editor
lad room, and but little respect was en-
tcrtained by them for the numerous
titles claimed by the Count, while his
consequential airs and lofty style had
become positive bore.
Rushing in late one forenoon, where
Haskell, Fox, Dix and Whipple were
scratching away for dear life at their
respective desks, the Count slapped down
2 small slip upon Haskell's desk and
asked in loud and indignant tone:
"Why was that item about me pub
lished in yesterdays Transcript"
Haskell laid down his pen, and, rising
10 his feet, confronted the Count, who
stood in a dramatic attitude with folded
arms, and said, in his decided, matter OF
fact way:
"Mr. jones, leave this room (point-
ing to the dosr), do not enter it again as
long as you live; we are tired of you,
and you may rest assured that as long
gs l am editor of the Transcript youI
name shall never again appear in its
columns except under the head of 'Obit.
uary.' Gow
The Count was so taken aback that he
did not utter word, but elevated his
eyebrows, fixed his hat more firmly upor
his head, and strode majestically to the
door toward which Haskell still pointed
and vanished behind it.
The editor sank back in his seat with
sigh of relief but there was peal o.
