It is q vulgarism to call door a doah

vulgarism to call newspaper noospaper?
One vulgarism is Northern, and the other

American Beef In England.

A correspondent send the following
communication to the Manchester En-
anais,es. in the form of letter of inquiry:
Notwithstanding the large quantities Of
foreign beef, etc, weekly imported,
shall be glad if any of your readers will
inform me what becomes OF it. When
first introduced often saw it exposed for
sale in the shops, but now I can find
nothing of the sort. The other day I
found in an obscure shop in @ somewhat
obscure locality few joints which were
described by the vender as American
beef, but Of which had some doubt
In reply to my inquiry as to what became
of it all, he coolly informed me that great
quantities reached Manchester every
week, but it was sold by the butchers as
English beef. Upon expressing my
surprise at this announcement, he coolly
informed me that it was 'as good as
English beef, and therefore why not sell
it as such, and at the same price / say
nothing as regards quality, but I do
think while the American beef does not
cost the butchers more than one-hali
what the English beef does, surely they
might be contented with less profits than
they are evidently making" 10

A Hint for Women.

Herbert Spencer, In his new book,
gives the following interesting data in
regard to two popular customs: "Though
absence of ears seems more generally to
have marked criminal than ayanquished
enemy who had survived the taking off of
his ears as trophies, we may suspect
that originally it was the trait of an en-
shaved captive; and that by mitigation it
gave fiseto the ii1ethod Of marking a slave
that was used by the Hebrews, and still
continues in the East with a modified
meaning. In Exodus xxi, 5, 6, we read
that if, after six years service, pur-
chased slave does not wish to be free, his
master shall bring him to the door, OF
unto the door-post, and his master shall
bore his ear through with an awl, and
he shall serve him forever Comment
Ing on this ceremony, Knobel says: In
the modern East the system of piercing
the ears Is mentioned as the mark of those
who are dedicated. It ex-
presses the belonging to somebody And
since, where there grows up qualified
despotism, private slavery is joined with
public slavery, and the accepted theory
is that all subjects are the property of
the ruler, we may suspect that there
hence results in some cases the universal
ity of this mutlation. A re-
lated usage must be noted-the insertion
of ring in the nose.

A Terrible CainI.lity.

News from London says that terribly fatal
explosion has occurred in the London and South
Wales Colliery Company's new block-veiu pit at
Risca, six miles from Newport. One account
says that 119 men were in the pit at the time
of the explosion, and another says that it is
thought that there were two hundred in the
mine. A dispatch from Cardiff says: "One
hundred and twenty-eight were in the pit of
the London and South Wales Colliery Com
pany's mine at the time of the explosion, and it
is believed all perished." A special from
London says: "The scenes about the mine
are reported as heartrending. There is a
large throng of people present, composed in a
great part of the relatives and friends of the
imprisoned miners. Among them are many
women who are bewailing the fate Of husbands
and SONS, while little children are asking
anxiously concerning their fathers. Every
thing possible Is being done to expedite the
rescue of the men, but scarcely any one hopes
to find one of the miners alive"

Al IrhsSnectad Response.

Preachers in the frontier settlements
have had often ludiGous experiences.
They must hold the attention OF con,
gfegaHoA III spite Of crying babies, and
keep their own gravity IN circumstances
both awkward and ridiculous. Ucca-
sionally the strain is too great, and they
surrender to the situation. An eloquent
Episcopal clergyman was ANONYMOUSLY
driven from the pulpit by donkey; a..
He was favorite preacher with the
frontier families, for he depended Little
on a manuscript, and used familiar
phrases and illustrations which inter-
ested them in his sermons. In enforc-
ing the lesson of a sermon, he was earn
est ,and practical; and made direct ap-
pea1s to his hearefs:: =.
On one occasion, during the simmer,
he was preaching in q crowded school
house. The windows were open, and
cattle were browsing on the shady side.
Among them was a donkey, which,
having drawn one of the families to
the meeting, had been turned loose to
browse. The preacher was ending his
sermdn with; HAud now, beloved, what
think ye of these things ~
1t this jtfncture the donkey put his
head through the open window and gave
q most uinearthly bray. The preachers
selkpossession wavered, and hands and
handkefchief. went up to the faces OF
the congregation.
The silence grew oppressive but the
preacher managed to add, say, my
brethren, what think you Of these
things ?" to which the donkey respond
ed BY second hideous bray. 1t was
too much for preacher and hearer. In
il ininttte the sermon. was ended, the
congregation dismissed, and the rHop'
gathered in groups outside, COZ. i!se
with laughter.

A alississs ppi Lynchins.

About two months ago Rufus Armisteadwa
assassinated near Horn Lake, Miss, by Ed
Nelm, colored, because Armistead's brother,
when Deputy Sheriff Of De Soto County, Miss,
year ago, killed Nelms' brother, who resisted
arrest, having been charged with horse steal
ing. The assassination created indignation.
Nelms, the murderer, was pursued to the Tu-
MICA County Bottoms, and together with his
brother, Prentiss Nelms, and Tom Konkey, as
accomplices, was arrested. Ed Nelms, the as
sassin, was conveyed to jail at fernando, and
Prentiss Nelms and Tom KonlSey were lodged
in the Tunica County Jail. While the two latter
were being conveyed to fernando, a body of
masked men stopped the officers having the
prisoners In charge, and took possession Of the
two men. The officers returned to Austin for
assistance, and ON returning found the two pris-
oners dead, with their throats crIt from ear to
ear, their bowles protruding from numberesi
wounds inflicted with knives, and rope around
each Of their necks.

Clastine Cox, the murderer of Mrs. Hull, in
New York, was hanged last week. Cox had
nothing to say ON the scaffold, only, "Tell my
brother it Is better we should not meet again
on this earth, but will meet in heaven" The
public are familiar with his crime. Mrs. Hull.
his victim, WAS found in her bedroom, dead,
with the finger marks Of the murderer upon her
throat, and every indication of terrible strug-
gle for life about her. The jewelry had been
torn from her person, and her room pnlaged Of
its valuables. The murder was deep mystery,
and for q time q strong suspicion rested upon
DR.. Hull, husband of the murdered woman,
who slept in another part Of the house. The
injustice Of the suspicious was made apparent
when, by degrees, the stolen 1ewelry began to
find its way into the hands Of the police and
was slowly traced to Chastine Cox, who was
Terrified out by detectives, tried, convicted and
sentenced to the death which he has inst met
on the scaffold.

Atchison, NO., having engaged several colored
men, to whom he was paying $1.25 day,
drunken mob, armed with revolvers and knives,

of all work, and drove the oolored men over ths

but without avail. The oolored drivers Of tho
transfer teams were compelled to turn back

agreement, the contractors forfeit 5000 francs

ground that the company failed to keep faith

National Fefe Day fn France.


The Paris specials contain the following con-
cerning the scenes connected with the fete;
The time for the commencement of the cere-
monies had been fixed at 1890. At 12:15 all
were seated The scene then presented was
magnificent in the extreme The stands were
filled from bottom to top with superbly Co.'S
tuned ladies, among whom fitted or stood
figures of men, either In rich uniforms OF the
more simple black citizens clothes; the dense
columns Of soldiery, some carrying on their
swarthy faces the history of Frances military
struggles and the dense mass of common
people outside the enclosure ON the lawns and
on the hills about-all this formed sight
which could not be witnessed ontside of France
At IL 80 o'clock large red silk flag was un-
furled to the breeze in front of the President q
stand. Twenty gums were then fired, and this
announced the official commencement of the
exercises. The standard bearers of tine four
! hundred and thirty-two regiments of the French
army, bearing the colors of their different regi-
| ments, then ranged themselves Immediately
behind the stands. The Colonel of every
regiment advanced toward the central
| tribune from half circle round it,
received each his new colors from the
! President, and returned to his place
amid cheers that surged along the whole line of
! the race course. As the number of each wae
recognized and the piowess of his regiment was
seen recorded on the silk, the enthusiasm
swelled into deafening roar. At the conclu-
sion of the Presidents address the Colonels
removed their caps in homage to the Republic
as represented by its President. When the Of
ticers raised their caps all of them simultan
eously burst out in the soul inspiring strains Of
the MarEeiliaise. Words cannot express the ef
feet produced by this tremendous outbust. The
words thrilling, electric" are incapable o
describing it. Mems faces flushed, and women.
eyes flashed. Hats were thrown in the air
and shouts of % Vice La Republique," rollet
over the plain with force which for few
minutes drowned the music. The men em
braoed one another and some wept. 1t was Al
impressive moment. The new colors were thel
distributed among the regiments and then tn,
lines were formed for parade which lasted full
three hours, after which the regiments marche,
to their respective quarters. The regiments q
they passed by the Presidents stand cheere,
and the crowds outside sent up shouts afte
shout as the gallant heroes of many wars passe
by. The military force on the field numbere

Andreas Eichsnbefg, a renovator Of cloth
Itg, doing business at Columbus, Ohio, few
days ago entered the Capital City Bank of that
place for the purpose of negotiating loan. He
held in his hand a certificate from the trustees
of W. B. Brooks calling for S1Os upon which he
wanted $50. S. S. Riokly, the president of the
bank, refused him, and the man then asked for
t85. This amount was also refused,
whereupon Eichenbetg drew a 6-cali-
Der Smith X Wesson from his pocket
and as qnick as flash, shot, the
bali penetrating the right eye of Rickly and
passed back to the left, lodging somewhere in
the left side of the face The man then placed
the revolver to bis own head and shot, killing
himself instantly. Ralph Rickly; the cashier,
rushed to the door and called loudly for help,
and lii moment the place was besieged with
people. Some years ago he deposited between
$4O0 and $500 in Ricklys bank, and was COM
polled to wait some time before it WAS repaid
because of the panic. The money was, how
ever, paid back to the last cent, with interest.
It was then loaned to W. B. Brooks, whose
estate is now in course Of settlement 1t is
stated, on behalf of Mr.. Rickly, that Eichen-
berg seemed incapable of reasoning about the
matter, and labored under the impression that
since he had waited on the bank once that he
was therefore entitled to loan, now that he
himself Was hard up. Andreas Eichenberg, the
suicide. was a man Of about fifty-three or fifty
