As partisans, Republicans have
very little interest in the row be-
tween Democrats in Mississippi. 1t

W neither L lmar, Barksdale or Chal-
m RS is chosen to the United States
Senate. On party questions either
one of them will vote solid with Lis
party every time. But as citizens Of
this section of the county it does
make a difference. Senator Lamar
has had large experience in public
affairs, is ripe scholar, and he did
have the independence once to differ
with his people on the money ques>
| ton. 1t will be better for the South
to have him in the Senate in prefer
ence to one whose only distinction is
hard -shelled bourbonism.

produce an eruption that will bring
with it disgrace and disaster.
When we reflect that to nearly 20
per cent. of our voting population
the English alphabet is mystery, and
that the masses of the ignorant are
congregated about the great centers
of population, where Kearney, or
some one else as bad, may organize
them iato an unreasoning mob, and
excite their passions until they be-.
come worse than wild beasts, we can
understand something of the nature
of the peril which threatens US.
Ministers should preach education
from their pulpit-, lawyers should
talk about in the court house, politi-
clans and statesmen should proclaim
it from the stump and from the fo-
rum, political parties should make it
part of their platforms not
simply as vote catching expedient,
but as real living principle, and all
patriots, of whatever sect, creed,
party or nationali y, should devote
themselves assiduously toward break
ing this chain of ignorance and avert
ing the storm, the muttering OF
which we have already heard family
in the din distance, and which is
liable to burst upon US in all it's de-
structiye fury when we are least ex'
pecting it.

AHorrihla Tragedy.

Alexander -McRheelers, living seven miles
south of Terre Haute, Indiana, last week mur-
dered his wife, his wifes sister, and then COM
mitted suicide. The deed was committed at
the house of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Blocksom
at o'clock in the morning. On account of
bad treatment his wife had left him, and was
living at home. Mrs. Blocksom, sixty-nine
years old, mother of the victims, Alice McRheel-
ers and babe, Belle Blocksom, and hired girl
named Mollie Carpenter were in the room to-
gether. McRheelers went into the room,
walked over to cradle and looked at the child.
His wife chided him for his bad treatment of
her, which he acknowledged in a calm manner,
he being perfectly sober. He suddenly turned,
drew his revolver and fired at the old lady,
missing her. She ran out of the room as did
the hired girl. The next shot was aimed at his
wife, and it struck her in the temple. She fell
a corpse over the cradle in which the child was
lying. The third shot was at Belle Blocksom,
striking her in the temple, and causing instant
death. McRheelers then placed the pistol
against his temple and fired, killing him in
stantly. McRheelers was twenty-five years
old, his wife twenty-three, and her sister
twenty-nine. The Coroner's jury returned a
verdict of murder in two cases and suicide in
the other. Some years ago sister of Mrs.
McRheelers was murdered by her husband in
Illinois, and he is now in the penitentiary for
the crime. A short time ago McRheelers en-
deavored to kill his father. There is great ex-
citement over the crime.

The Two Girls of Frostburs.

Two young ladies for the past four
years have had control of farm of one
hundred and sixty acres near Frostburg.
They have plowed, sowed, reaped, built
fences, raised hogs and performed the
other countless duties incident to q
pastoral life. In addition to their out
side duties the care of widowed and in
valid mother has been tax on their
energies. One of the ladies is a shoe
maker, and all work of that kind used by
the family is executed by her. The
house in which they live is large and
roomy, yet these two girls, whose ages,
by the way, are twenty-five and twenty,
have made all the carpet, and made it
well, too, painted number of farm
scenes and family portraits in oil, and
filed up the otherwise vacant spots with
waxwork, etc. Besides, the fact that
they are good musicians, the fact that
they never shock your refined ear with
ungrammatical remarks, is also note
worthy. Go to that much-abused village
of Punxsuatawney, and, after inquiring
for the location of Frostburg, walk
in that direction just three miles and
you will reach the homemade home

The Eagle and the Kite.

: An eagle, overwhelmed with sorrow,
sat upon the branches of tree in COM
pany with a kite. " Why" asked the
kite, edo I see you with such rueful
look?" The eagle answered, "I seek a
mate suitable for me, and am notable to
find one." "Take me" responded the
kite. "I am much stronger than you.
L have often carried off an ostrich in my
talons." The eagle, persuaded by these
words, accepted the kite as mate. At
ter the election, SO to, speak, was over,
the eagle told the kite to fly off and
bring back the ostrich it had promised.
The kite scared aloft and returned in
time with miserable little mouse in an
advanced state of decomposition from
the length of time it had lain on the
ground. ssIs this" said the eagle,
"the faithful performance of your prom
ise to mep" The kite unblushingly re-
sponded: You must know that to &C
complish any object there is no lie I will
not tell" The only moral to this fable
is. that thepeople should not always send
to the Legislature the man who talks
loudest with his mouth Galveston

Beautiful Joke.

This, according to the San Francisco
Argonaut, is an American joke translated
with French paper:
Topnody, fatigued to be led of the end
of the nose by his bitter half, conceived
the resolution heroic to take the COM
mand of the house., to of it be the
boss.
Therefore, in re-entering toward mid
day, still all emoved of a quarrel of
morning, he called imperiously Madame
Topnody.
She emerged of her kitchen, the visage
dipped q sweat, of which pearly drop
at the end of her nose; roller of pastry
at the hand. She responded in tone
few amiable.
"Eh, welll What is it that there is
yet?"
Topnody feebled; but he took the
courage.
"I wish that you know, Madame Top
nody"-and he struck himself at the
breast dramatically that am the en-.
gineer of this chebang"
"Oh, you are it! Assuredly! Eh, well,
me, I wish that you know"-and she
lanced at the unhappy look terrifying
-''that I am the boiler which goes to
bust. Hear you the vapor which es
capes itself, Topnody?"
The unhappy heard perfectly.
He is again in the subiugation.

Alexander III has appointed Gen. Ignatieff
to succeed Gen. Melikof, resigned. Gen.
Ignatieff has addressed circular to the Gov
ernors Of the provinces, explaining the princi-
pies of the Imperial manifesto, and announcing
the views of the government on the internal
condition Of the country. It refers to the
dark sides of the present state of society; the
ireligious education of youth; the inactivity of
the authorities; the indifference of many
holders of public offices to the general welfare,
and their avaricious management of public
property. "Herein," it says, sis to be found
explanation of the painful fact that the great
reforms introduced by the last government did
not yield the full benefit the deceased Emperor
had right to expect. None but an autocrat,
strong in the attachment and unbounded love
of great people can, even with the lightened
cooperation of the best sons of fatherland,
successfully remove the great evil from which
Russia is suffering. The first task to be accom-
plished is the e1tirpation of the spirit of rebel
lion, which society must counteract of its own
initiative. The persecution of the Jews of the
Ukraine shows how completely the people
yield to the influence Of evil disposed persons,
and unsuspectingly serve their rebellious
plans. The second task is to strengthen faith
and morals. The government will take especial
care to introduce order and justice into the in
situtions created by the late Gar"

New England Wages.

Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, of the Massa-
chusetts Bureau of Labor and Statistics,
who is said to be careful statistician,
in his recent report gives some interest
ing facts about labor prices and COM
pensation in New England. According
to this report, in the mills of Maine men
are paid $3.50 a week, and women get
only S.. 80, while the little children re-
ceive from So .25 to $40, in the woolen
mills, which pay thelargest wages. One
paper mill in Maine pays men $10.50 a
week and women $5. so, working seven
two hours a,yeek. In New Hampshire
the wages arS much lower than those
paid in Maine, and the operatives are re-
quired to work sixty-six hours in the
week. In Rhode Island the wages are
little higher, with sixty-six hours of
work during the week. In Connecticut
operatives work ninety hours q aOeek-
fifteen hours day for six days-and
the wages are SO for men, 81 so for
women, $50 for male children and
81. so for female children. The highest
spinners' wages are Sc. In Massachu-
setts from sixty-three to sixty-six hours
of labor a week are exacted, and spin
ners only get $1.0S a day; the highest
class of labor in the mills not exceeding
$40 to $12 for the men. Many of these
factories are run by water power, and
much time is lost during the winter sea-
sons on account of freezes, and of course
the employees are not paid for the time
| thus lost. The statistician remarks that
'1ong hours and poorly paid labor tend
to brutalize," and he shows that one
manufacturing town in Massachusetts
supports 400 bar-rooms. Such is the
exhibit of gentleman who has no rea
son to misrepresent things, and it pre-
sents facts which are not creditable tx
the boasted civilization, wealth and gen
erosity of the New England manufac
turers.-Neao York Commercial Ad

HorrihIa nIsaster.

terrible disaster occurred at the Mount st.
Gothard Tunnel, in Switzerland, on the 18th
inst. While large force of workmen were en-
gagged at work in the tunnel q large mass of
rock became dislodged and buried nearly 400
of the men. The accident summoned large
number of employees and others to the scene of
the disaster, and great efforts were made to
rescue those who were wounded. Three hun
dred Of these, some MANNED for life, others
fatally injured, were taken from the debris.
Seventy workmen were killed outright All
that was possible was done for the wounded,
and the scenes about the mouth Of the tunnel
where the families of the unfortunate men
gathered were heartrending in the extreme.
