A MuRpERous AEPRAY.

The usually quiet village of Rough and
Ready, four miles west of Grass Valley,
was the scene of q murderous affair on
Sunday evening, which, in all probability,
will result in the death of a worthy man at
the hands of an assassin. The facts con-
nected with the tragedy are stated to be
about as follows A man named Thomas
Warren, alias Keno, had been working
for some time at the Iron Clad quartz mine,
and boarding at Schroeder's Hotel, in
Roagh and Ready. A day or two ago
George Albert, the foreman of the mine,
received letter from hotel-keeper at
Nevada City desiring to learn the amount
of wages due Warren, in order to attach
them for an account due for board. AL
bert considering that Mr.. Schroeder was
first entitled to protection for the board
bill owing him by Warren, suggested to
Schroeder to have Warren give him an
order on the Company, and thus be first Sc
cured against loss This was done, and the
matter explained to Warren, who, however,
took offense at Albert's action. Sunday he
borrowed horse from Mr.. Schroeder and
went to Nevada to see the hotel-keeper
there about the amount he owed him. He
returned late in the day, and it was evil

not appear to be intoxicated. Albert was
at Schroeder's at the time, and Warren
commenced abusing him. To avoid a diff
Guilty Albert started to leave and 90 to the
mine, but Warren stopped him before he
could get off the porch that extends in
front of the building, and taking hold of
him, struck him three or four blows with
knife in quick succession. One of the
cuts was between the ribs and below the
heart, on the left side, and penetrated the
lung; another in the left groin, pene-
trating the cavity of the abdomen; and a
third, which appeared to have been a
raking cut with the knife, extended from
the backbone, over the right kidney, and
into the cavity. Another cut had been
aimed at Albert's throat, and his collar
and the thickness of two shirts cut through,
but the flesh was not cut. During this
time Albert was endeavoring to get away,
but did not succeed and finally, when his
murderous assailant released his hold, AL
bert fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Warren then gave him kick and ran
away Upon seeing that Albert was dan
gerously hurt, messenger was imme-
diatelv sent for DIR. Jones, of this place,
who went to attend the wounded man, and
found him cut as described. Albert lies in
very precarious condition, as there is
danger of inflammation setting in, and the
physician entertains very little hope of his
recovery. He has not long resided in this
county, having come from San Francisco to
take charge of the working of the Iron
Clad NINE Neither he nor his assailant
were men of family Subsequent to the
cutting Warren was arrested and brought
to Grass Valley by Constable Reynolds
| and placed in the town iail.

MEETING OF coLoRED CITIZENSHIP
ARE FOR BLAINE.

A meeting of colored citizens was held at
the Fifth-street Baptist Church last evening.
There was good attendance. R. 81. Small
was called to the chair, and b. A. johnson to
the Secretary's table. A series of resolutions,
prefaced by preamble, were introduced, re-
gardipg the preference of the colored voters
Of Sacramento for President. Remarks were
made by r. II. Small, G.. w. Booth, B. A.
johnson. w. II. Lewis, F. T. Bowers, and
in behalf of the young voters by Ernest
Small and Edward Brown. The preamble
and resolutions were then adopted unani-
mously and with much enthusiasm. The
resolutions are as follows:
WHEREAS. We. the colored citizens of Sac
ratio en- masse assembled, believing it to be
eminently proper, in times OF great political
peril, that all elements of society should ex-
ercise the right of expressing their preference
as between rulers; aad whereas, fully ap-
preciating the Importance OF the ensuing
Presidential election, as well as the dire con-
sequences that must inevitably accrue to our
common country, and especially to our
Southern brethren, if by any dereiiction of
duty on the part Of the colored citizens
an effete and retrogressive oligarchy be
permitted the absolute control of our national
affairs. Indeed, when we remember tne maj
affection with which our race cling even to
an unfortunate nativity, we are at once per
shaded that the late exodus from the
South but too plainly suggests what we
may reasonably expect in the event of
an ultra change of administration.
Therefore, in our earnest desire to maintain
| intact the national status of the Republican
party and thereby the perpetuity OF our ma
tional tranquility, be it
ReSolred. That in view of the dangers that
| threaten the defeat of any candidate VINO
may be selected at the National Convention
as the standard bearer of the Republican
party purely on the grounds of an ephemeral
| enthusiasm rather than the dictates of a
sober judgment or the expressed and we'll
known will of the people, it behooves our
element, as an important factor in the ulti-
mate result, to make emphatic declaration OF
! our choice of candidates Be it
Resolred, That while we are fully conscious
of the claims that others may have upon pre-
! ferment, yet would we be false to every in
stinct of manly gratitude. and still more
wanting in political sagacity, were we to fail
| of this opportunity to declare ourselves unal-
| terably in favor of james G. Blaine, the
genius of liberty, the idol Of patriots, and the
| dread of demaeogues.

Joshua Bates, an accomplished and
successful teacher, says concerning the
Boston public schools what might be SAID
of the schools of many other cities 1.-The
acquisitions in school study are now too
many, and the work too oppressive to
teacher and pupils. Music and drawing;
particularly, demand too much time and
lavish expense, and teachers and scholars
are constantly hurried and fretted with the
burden of requirements /; and, eonse-
ouently, the sound and healthy acquire
ments are not obtained for which our COM
mon schools were originally established.
Crowding so much into our school system
results in costly extravaganza.

How the Esquimaux Dress.

The costumes of the several tribes /
encountered are the same in material,
but differ somewhat in shape. In win
ter the men wear next to their skin q
fur coat called an ar-tee-gee. 1t is
made with a hood and long tail be-
hind that varies in length, width and
style, according to the taste of the
wearer. Trousers are also made of fur,
and are arranged with drawing string
at the waist. They usually reach little
below the knees, and are quite wide
there, allowing free circulation of air
within. Sometimes they are made a
trifle longer in the leg and sufficiently
narrow to be worn inside the boot;
but it is q mooted question whether it
is warmer to wear them closed or open.
The arteegee and inside trousers, which
are called e-loo-pai, are made of the
skins of reindeer that are killed in
the early summer, and consequently
have quite short hair. They are worn
with the fur inside, and have an. ex-
ceedingly comfortable feeling in cold
weather. The outside is often highly
ornameuted with rows of trimming of
white and black fur alternating, and
with q fringe around the bottom. The
feet of the Inuit are incaSed in
stockings Of reindeer skin with the fur
inside and reaching to the knee, with
slippers, made from the thin. short
hair from the leg of the same animal,
and outside long boots, also made of
the skin from the leg of the reindeer.
Finally pair Of short shoes are drawn
over the foot and laced around the
ankle. These also are made of reindeer
legs, with the hair side in, and are shod
ON the soles with fur from the face or

Biscuit for Horses.

A singular experiment is at present
under trial in the French Army. The
Minister of War, anxious to reduce the
bulk of provisions to be carried during
q campaign, has ordered that q new
kind of biscuit should be used as food
for the horses. On the conclusion of
the present maneuvers, the experiment
will be rigidly tested. Two squadrons
of cavalry and a battery of artillery will
at once be put under the new system.
The circular of the Minister directs all
the details, and orders that COM
mission composed of four officers
and a veterinary surgeon should see
that the instructions are completely
carried out, and report on their progress
and results. The selected horses are
to be weighed and measured across
the shoulders before the experiment
commences, and two other squadrons
of cavalry and battery OF artillery are
to be selected, composed as nearly ~
can be of animals of the same weight
and size. The latter are to be placed
under the war allowance. Of fodder, and
both at once subjected to the estimated
average fatigues of campaign. Dur
ing twelve days the experiment will be
followed out, while the officers charged
with its conduct will constantly report
on its results. The horses are to be
supplied with the new food on the first
day of the campaign. without any tran
sition or preparation for the change.
The biSCufts are to be broken up. but
not to b moistened, and the horses are
to be watered before each meal.-L0n-

the dog really considered what he was
doing, and planned the celebration for
his birthday; or whether it all happened
without his having . voice in the matter
at all, but that he had party is q fact,
as you will see for yourselves.
just week ago to-day he was one
year old, aud the only present could
think of was an extra number of fine
bones; for when he was six months old
had given him pretty collar with q
little silver plate on it bearing his name,
and dogs do not care for other orna-
ments, you know. Bracelets and ear
rings would be rather out of place on q
dog; don't you think 50?
Frisco wears a little knot of cardinal
red ribbon on his collar, but that is all;
SO, as said before, feast was all l
could think OF, to make the day differ
emit from other days. Therefore boiled
several beef-bones, and having made
salad for ourselves from two plump
chickens, I had q plateful of delicate
bones, such as he dotes upon, besides
the beef. Soon after breakfast took
them all out TO his "camping-ground
as we call the south corner Of the back
yard, where he frolics and capers, and
takes his afternoon nap. Having tied
fresh ribbon TO his collar, called him
away, and showed him the feast spread
in honor of the day. He wagged his
tail in grea. glee, and, after smelling of
each separate bone, he looked up at me
as if he wanted to laugh, and then sud-
denly, to my utter dismay, he turned
and scampered away as fast as he could
go, over the fence. through the garden,
across the meadow and out of sight.
[ confess l was somewhat disappoint-
ed at such behavior, but, after waiting
for him five or ten minutes. I went
back to the house, concluding that his
breakfast must have been heartier than
usual, and that he was not hungry
enough to do more than smell of these
new goodies.
Half an hour later what was my sur
prise to see him sitting on the grass
gnawing away vigorously at the biggest
beef bone; while near him, crunching
the delicate chicken bones as if they
were sugar-plums, were his friends
whom I suppose he had gone to invite
when he ran away from me. I'll.

would have done the same, If you

chestnut curls sho1e in the sunshine

foxhound with long brown ears; Gear

eyed Newfoundland.
All these are dogs belonging to our
neighbors. and, though they are very
frequent visitors of Frisco's 8, they never
before had happened to be here all at
the same time, and this is what makes
me think they we're espec' ally invited.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

"A blind girl has excelled all pre-
vious members Of the fourth class in
the High-school at Portland, Me-, by
attaining rank Of one hundred in all
her studies for one month, except Latin,
and ninety-eight in that. "
The Provincial Synod of the Cana
do Episcopal Church has adopted the
new name of 1.-THE Church of England
in Canada" It establishes q foreign
and domestic Board of Missions, and
makes new provisions for missionary
work.
Fisk University. Nashville, Tenn,
has opened with twice as many pupils
from abroad as it had last year at this
time. Those who come to it are, on
the average, much further advanced
than the same class were five years ago.
This shows that the education of the
colored people is progressing in the
South.
The annual assembly of the United
Methodist Free Churches of England
has been held in Leeds. This body
now has 1876 itinerant preachers, 81, 3O9
members, 1858 chapels, and 189, 40
Sunday-school scholars. Itraises about
$50, 900 year for missions.
Reports read in the Triennial
Convention of Episcopalians in session
at New York show that the sums
received for home missions since 1877
fall short of the previous three years by
$4,000, while the amounts received
for foreign missions were $138,0OO
larger than for any previous term.
,-Presbyterianism is steadily gaining
IN New Jersey, while losing, perhaps,
in the South. In that State there is a
synod of eight presbyteries. 361 minis
tiers. 267 churches, 46, 2O7 church men,
bers and $4,000 scholars in Sunday
school. The amount contributed last
year for congregational and benevolent
purposes reached 1928, OOO-for the
former $65O,OOO, and for the latter
$178,OOO.
"A missionary in Madras, India,
writes that there has been a strange
outbreak of superstitious fear. A ru-
NOR is in circulation to the effect that
Christians and Mohammedans are lying
in wait to kidnap Hindu children; the
former for the purpose of sacrificing
them to the MOloch of the sea, the lat
ter to make Moslems of them. In con-
sequence there has been panic in the
city and children are kept carefully
housed.
The Southern Presbyterian Church
reports IL synods, 81 presbyteries, 145
candidates for the ministry, 70 licen-
tiates, 1,060 ministers, 1913 churches,
and 1901 communicates. There are
81 more ministers than there we're five
years ago, 107 more churches and not
quite 5000 more members. The num-
Der of candidates for the ministry is
less by A than it was then. The aver
age yearly additions by examinations
have been 5000, and by certificate over
