the government prohibit letters from

through its agencies? We think not.
There would be an obvious hardship in
executing = Law providing for such a
monopoly. Unless there are obvious
reasons for not availing themselves Of Its
facilities, we may be- sure that the gov.
eminent will not be neglected in the
transmission OF the mail. II . letter is

ain Of every monopoly. Having no
competitors one thinks that il makes no

The Railroad Signal Service.

Few people. even those living along

perfect and systematic signal service
kept up along the line OF the Central

mountains. Between Truckes aud Blue
Canyon are track.walk-rs who 20 over
the road at stated intervals aud in soms
places in the sheds after every train
passes. There are three divisions Of

HORRIBLE MURDER.
Two Brothers Murdered while
Asleep In shei Bed.

GRAYsoN. Va, March IA horri.
bic murder was committed in Grayson
county. Friday night. Il seems that
Henry Kite. q farmer OF that county,
some line since began TO live illioitly
with H. wife's sister. At first the dis.
honor wife refused to believe tho RI.
mors shv had received about the affair,
but rect atty the intimacy between the
guilty pair became apparent. Finding
her husbands parsmour enciente. the
wrouged vile Sci : letter to her two
brothers living N. AL adjoining county.
asking them to eoms and take her and
her children away. H,r brothers, John
and VIM. Gwynn, came late Friday even.
ing. while the unfaithful husband was
absent from the house. They were
Immediately shown to q bed room. and
retired for the night. intending to leave
with their sister il the morning. About
10 o'clock Kite came In. His wife did
not tell him OF the arrival Of her
brothers. He soon went to the cham.
Der Of bis mistress. and after he had
been there about an hour, she told him
OF the arrival OF the two men. Kite.
without saying q word. waited until
everybody had gone to sleep, and then
he steslthily stole out OF the room and
went 10 the woodpils. where hs got an
AZ. which was nsw and keen.bladod.
He then cyept in his stocking feet to the
room in which his two brothers.in.law
were sleeping. and. softly opening the
door. went in. The Ere was burning
dimly. but gave him enough light to
complete his bloody work. The two
men were sleeping together on . bed
near tho window. Kite stood over them
and sent the AZ blade into the head Of
William. literally splitting the skull In
half across from the left ear up under
the nose. The whole upper part Of
the head fell over the side OF the
bed. Tho murdered man gave q
Rurgling moan. which, with the jar
occasioned BY the blow. awakened
his brother. Just a. Kite was rails.
ing the AZ to brain him. tho horrihed
man attempted to rise, and his sudden
movement caused Kite to miss his aim,
and the blade came down into the shoul-
der. sinking deep. and actually dragging
the arm from tho shoulder socket.
George gave = piercing shrek and
jumped from the bed. Kite again struck
him az he was running to the door the
second time. laying open his stomach so
that the intestines fell on the floor. The
murderer then threw down the AZ and
fed from the room, being met at the
door by the a~ffrighted household. The
sight which met their gaze when they
entered the room wal horrible. One
brother lay writhing in death agonies
upon the floor, which was red with
blood. while q portion Of the head Of N.
other lay on the feor under the bed.
stead. which contained his mangled
trunk. Kite fed from the house and has
not since been heard Of. He was tracked
800 yards by the blood made by his
shoes. The authorities are on his track.
The affair causes the widest excitement.

In the matter OF teachers for public
schools either In Gold Hill or elsewhere
il is the strict duty Of the Board OF
School Trustees to select and employ
only those who are really competent.
They have NO right l. rse f'voritism'
and personal preferences mus aiSays DO
secondary to the benefit and advancement
Of the schools. Parents and guardians
will hold them strictly accountable in
this. for the education Of their children
10 Of far more imrcr.arse. both o
and in the future than the mere fur
nishins a teacher with . place and .
salary. It is perfectly right that In
the selection OF teachers, home talent
should be always first considered. yet
II the capability for the position does not
actually exist. teachers must DO brought
from elsewhere, or the scholars must DO
sent elsewhere for education. II Is true
that 'charity should begin at home"
but our public schools are not to Be re-
gsrdsd a charitable Or elsemosyaary
institutions. and the school mon
eys to be expended merely for
the support Of incompetent but
needy teachers. To parents and
guardians a. we'll a to the scholars
themselves The active. efficient advance
msnt and benefit Of the scholars is para.
mount to all other considerations the
pscunisry benefit Of the teacher is .
secondary consideration. Yet far better
10 it to employ q good teacher. pos
sssssd OF the requisite knowledge and
the ability to impsrt that knowledge.
paying . good salary for competent and
effective services. than employ Q dozen
iucapables whose chief aim is TO be in .
position to support themselves or soms-
body else.
II may DO argued that the real capa.
bilitiss Of any candidate for teacher or
principal cannot be ascsrtainod or made
manifest except by actual trial. and that
one after another might be tried or I'D.
vancsd until some competent n could
be found. But it must be remembered
that all such isllasious experiments
would be to the material dstrimsnt OF
the scholars. Most especially 10 this the
case in the selection Of . Prinoi.
pal. No experiments should DO made
or even considered there. Enough OF
the experimental will enter into
the proposition at the best. A teacher
OF known and established ability and
experience ia required. and none others
need apply. IL the Board OF Trustees
perform their plain, impartial duty o n
scientifically. as is expected Of them. As
before remarked, the true benefit and
advancement OF the scholars, and not Of
the teachers. Ii the matter at Issue. and
NO other view Of IL must be entertained.
