This Was the GROWING Insult, and as
her father went out, banging the door
behind him, for his temper was up, Cara

But the weak, obstinate girl would
not listen TO her If she could only get
back to the city, she thought in some
way or other she would manage to
make her way to the charmed circle.
She was too experienced to under
stand that without wealth or position
this would be an impossible task. She
was like silly child, who only cared
to escape from fancied bondage.

BLOODY BANJOS.

Particulars of the Execution of Rev. Father
Giliiet, a Catholic Priest.
The colony of British Honduras is in a
state of excitement over the capture and
shooting, by order of President Banjos, of

Of Guatemala all Jesuits have been Danish
ed from the Republic, and should any be
caught in the Republic they invariably meet
their doom by being shot behind the prison
walls, or out on the plaza, place reserved
for the execution of noted criminals, in full
view of the entire populace. It appears
that Father Gilliet visited Guatelama for
his health and not as clergyman. Never
theless, he had scarcely set foot in Living
ston. when, being recognized by the COM
mandant, he was arrested, ironed,. and
thrown into a dungeon to await orders from
the Capital Guatelama City. On the re-
ceipt of the telegram ordering his being
brought on to the capital for trial. he was
Invested of nearly all his clothing and

but all to no avail, for President Ban
jos had passed judgment, and nothing re-
manned but the execution of the sentence.
On Monday morning, Jan. II, Father
Gilliet was taken out of prison, under
heavy guard, and marched to the plaza,
where they were joined by two regiments
of soldiers; his coffin was brought and
placed before him; the soldiers formed
a hollow square, broken at one cross.street,
opposite which was placed a firing party
Behind the soldiers were the people of the
city, looking on awestruck and silent.
The signal for the shooting was given by
three short rolls on a drum heavily muffled
and hardly had the sound of the third
roll died away when, with one instanteous
report, 20 carbines sent forth their leaden
missiles on an errand Of death, and Father
Gilliet fell forward on his coffin, pierced
by II balls, a mass of lifeless flesh and
blood. Immediately the shrill blast of the
bugle was heard ordering the formation of
marching line, and leaving detail of eight
men to perform the burying, the soldiers,
marching to the tune of lively quickstep,
e-entered their barracks and we're dis
missed.

won her husband who adored her, title

Here for a few moments she was left

A few minutes later her attendants found
her lying on the floor, quite dead-stabbed
to the heart by a slender Italian dagger.
The plate which bore her face upon it lay
in fragments at her feet; and there remained
no clue to the perpetrator of the deed; but

A mass of fragments joined together with
wondrous care and pains. On the cracked
and disfgured surface one can see what
must once have been a beautiful painting,
of which only enough remains to show that
it was the face of woman. She might
have been as fair as an angel or as ugly as
witch, no o1e can tell which now, but I like
to think it is Hilda's portrait.

A Common INSTRUMENTATION.

These two qualities, by the bye, are

is inevitably absurd. Now, this common
mispronunciation of names ending in ell

The Belpre Convention.

We are glad to give the full pro-

CO.. w. C. T. U. Convention, held
last week in Belpre. 1t did us
much honor and lasting good, to be
present on the last afternoon of the
session and take the sympathetic
hand of number of these noble
Christian women, who are working
with so much system, energy and
success in the common cause with
our good women and men on this
side the river. 1t was an inspira-
ton to witness the harmony of
their labors, to hear their impor-
tuning and far-reaching prayers,
and to drink in the assurance of
their unwavering faith in the
speedy redemption of the homes of
their hearts and love, from the
curse of drink. Aside from the bu-
siness transacted, the feature of
this session was the Children's
Meeting, Mrs. Reese entertaining
and instructing them in very i'm
pressive and profitable address,
with black board illustrations.
Paul enjoined upon us all to "Help
those women" and it is double
pleasure to help those who help
themselves grandly and us too, as
did these good sisters, by volunteer

Some Notes.

When we were boy number of
the family were afflicted with di-
vers complaints, insomuch that a
little brother, who was as hearty
as pig, grew jealous and waxed
wroth that he was not blessed with
some disease. With inconsolable
sobs and tears he besieged our good
mother thus: Sans got the chick
en-pox-boo-hoo, and Enoch's got
the measles, b-b-b-hooo, and Dawes
got the stone-bruise, and I-I-I-ain't
got NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
b-hoo-o-o-o!
In connection with the memory
of this little incident, we are con-
strained to remark upon the au-
thority of our exchanges, that
Wheeling has on hand The Inter-
mediate State, Huntington has the
Smallpox, Charleston has Jake
Kemple, and Parkersburg "ain't got
nuthin'."
Reform" through the columns
of the State, Charleston, appeals to
the City authorities for more po-
licemen to protect citizens from
drunken rowdies. Just so, good
neighbors; you license the traffic,
as we do, and are compelled to in
crease your police force accordingly.
