Alleged Killing OF a Profane
Youth by II Thunderb0it.

A strange story comes from Union
county, Arkansas, but it is as true as
it is strange-to-wit: That three
young men were sitting on their
horses in the road, discussing the
probabilities of rain from a cloud
which just then was rising in the
west. The youngest Of the group,
named John Freeman, referred to the
drought and remarked that God
who would allow his people to suffer
this couldn't amount to much. As
he was speaking this the boys were
encircled with lightning, and the
speaker stunned severely, though his
companions were unscratched. Re.
covering, he renewed the subject, bit.
terly reviling the Supreme power
Instantly bolt Of lightning flashed
from the cloud overhead, and the
young man fell dead in his tracks,
Nearly every bone in his body was
mashed to a jelly, while his boots
were torn from his feet and the cloth
ing from his lower ex,renities. The
body presented a horrible appear
ance, being a blackened and man.
gled mass Of humanity. His com.
panions were stunned and thrown on
the ground, but not seriously injured.
The funeral of the unfortunate young
man occurred the next day, and at.
tracted large crowd, the greater
portion of which were drawn thither
by the rumor of the strange events
preceding the death of the deceased.
When the body was deposited in the
grave and the loose earth had been
thrown in until the aperture was
filled, and while the friends. Of the
dead man yet fingered in the GENE.
terry, a bolt of Lightning descended
from cloud directly over the burial.
place and struck the grave, throwing
the dirt as if a pillow had passed
lengthwise through it. No one was
injured, but those present scattered,
almost paralized with terror. The
incident is exciting a great deal Of
attention, ministers and religious
people generally holding that the
young man was the victim of the
wrath of an offended God, while 9th
ers assert that the case was simply a
wonderful coincidence, having no
connection with causes either phys.
ical or upernatural.-Ch Chicago Tri.

Last week, Senators Lapham and

number Of Government clerks, from
New York and from Ohio, feel inse-

the new Senators, and to the most
influential man from Ohio. They
wish to strengthen their influence,
because they know that influence

Why did not Mr.. Pendleton make

The effect Of alcohol on the Indians
Of the high, dry plains, even when.
taken in small quantities, is to al
most instantly drive them crazy
The frequent assaults that have been
made by mounted Indians, armed
with bows and arrows, on western
trading posts defended by American
riaemen, sharply indicate the effect
OF alcohol on men Of highly nervous
temperament, natives of dry coun-
try where the light atmosphere is
highly charged with electricity.

exhibit all the characteristics of the
Indians. They are transformed into

Most of these men are residents of
western Texas. Many of them were
born in that State.
Almost all of them have lived on

The Farmer's Tobacco Tax.

Mr.. Mckenzie, one of the Repre-.
sentatives in the House from Ken
lucky, has introduced a bill to abol-
ish law that has heretofore occas-
Toned much controversy and bad blood
in West Virginia and other tobacco
producing States.
The bill proposes the practical
abolition Of what may be called the
farmers tobacco tax.
1t allows farmers TO sell in small
quantities 81 900 worth of raw leaf to.
bacco, of their own raising, without
being subject to the requirements Of
the internal revenue law.
Tobacco is the only homegrown
farm product taxed by our laws, and
the repeal of this tax is worthy Of
serious consideration on account Of
the relief it proposes toan important
agricultural interest.
The proposition is oallow farmers
to sell their own tobacco crop by re-
tail as well as by wholesale, and tc
exempt them from the severe penal
ty now imposed on them for selling
or giving away a few pounds of Their
crop. The revenue law does not in
terfere with the farmers disposal o.
his corn, wheat, potatoes, turnips, OIL
any other crop; he may sell these in
any way that suits HMM large
quantities, or in small. But if he
twists up part Of his tobacco cror
and disposes of it ia small quaint
ties, the act is made crime, punish
able with heavy fine or imprison
ment-and farmers, ignorant of this
harsh law, are frequently arrested
and brought before the U. S. courts
for violating it without knowing it

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 18th, 1881.
This has been a week of somewhat
desultory speech-making in the SEN
ate, and of presenting innumerable
bills in the House.
Senators Pendleton and Hill spoke
on the civil service reform question.
Senators Beck, Maxey, Anthony and
Garland has something to say about
the Presidential succession, in case
of the death or disability of the Ex-
ecutive. And Senator Sherman pre-
sented his three per cent. funding
bill, which, it is believed, will, with
immaterial modification, become a
law, it being essentially the same
measure that passed the House last
session.
1t is somewhat amusing to see a
Senator making a set speech. 1t is
such a burlesque on Grey's lines
"The applause of listening senates
tocommand." The Senate does every
thing but listen and applaud. The
Senate dozes on the settees; it smokes
in the cloak rooms; it goes down to
the restaurant, and it treats the ora.
tor with what casual observer
might think disrespect. But the
orator is quite Indifferent to the in.
difference Of the Senate. He is
speaking over and beyond them.
His object is to spread his speech on
the record and TO have it noticed by
as many as possible of the eight or
nine thousand journals of the United
States. Senator Pendleton is not q
brilliant speaker. There is an ap-
parent lack OF earnestness in his or.
atory. His rhetoric is somewhat
verbose. He lacks the incest precis.
sion in his choice of words. Thur.
man or Edmunds can put in twice
as much prickley information to the
page. Then again civil service re.
form is not a subject upon which the
average Senator can wax eloquent.
Though of the most pressing impor-
lance, it is dry and uninviting.-
There is faithless apathy pervading
political and official circles with re.
gard to the possibility of improving
the present corrupt and pernicious
system. The Ohio Senator deserves
praise for the persistence with which

Tile Situation i'm ireland.

The New York Herald publishes a
very instructive geographical chart
together with an explanatory letter,
showing the operations of the Land
Court in Ireland, the amount of rents
withheld and other features of the
great struggle in that island for JUS
tice and fair chance TO get living
out Of the soil they till.
The summing up of the case shows
that the people generally stand by
the principles laid down by the Land
League, and refuse to pay exhorbi-
tant rents, and that reductions are
made in many cases without recourse
to the Land Commission. The great
trouble which confronts the popula-
ton Of Ireland, even those who are
willing to pay rents on the basis of
an equitable settlement, is the fact
that in many instances the tenants
are in arrears and that the landlords
insist on the full amount before any
reduction is made. The tenants are
in a large majority Of cases unable to
comply with this condition prece-
dent, and if they are compelled to
pay it in instalments their annual
obligations will be as burdensome as
before, and nothing will be gained
by the rebate.
