Woman's SeIf-Sacrihce.
Boston Globe.


"Oh, no, he never beats me-" said
Julia Conners, trying to look the Judge
straight in the face. "Martin gets
fussy and noisy at timos, and perhaps
he pushes me around little but never
assaults me, SIR"
"The officer says he saw your hus-
band strike you on the shoulder, and
then you struck him in the face with
your fist"
The woman dropped her eyes, fin
gered her shawl nervously for mo-
ment and then looked up, fixed her
black eyes calmly on the Court, and
said:
THE officer is mistaken. Martin
put his hand upon my arm and spoke
TO me little cross about something,
and then pushed him away. l might
have been excited, and perhaps push
ed him harder than thought. / may
have struck him, but he did not strike
me. He never strikes me, l plead
guilty, but he has not done anything.
He Is only bit fnssy once In while,
but l don't charge him with assault" !"
This was the wife's story. She
pleaded guilty to save her husband,
while he pleaded not guilty, and let her
take upon herself all the blame with
out saying word for her. That is
human nature. The woman is ever
ready to sacrifice herself to save the
man, and the more she IL abused the
closer she clings to him. The man
stands before the Judge and says as
plainly by his silence as Adam did by
his words, "The woman Is the guilty
one; she tempted me" and the woman
shares his punishment.
The Court found Julia and Martin
Conners guilty Of mutual assault and
fined the woman 81 without costs, and
the man $40 with costs. The woman
paid her fine, spoke an encouraging
word to the man and went out from
the court room, She went home, drew
forth the little store she had put by for
coal bills for the winter, took perhaps
nearly all her earnings and came back
quickly to pay his fine and take him
out of the dock. 1t is the way of
women, and men will let them have
their way

BLOODY CHAPTER FROM ABER
deem.
Three Mcp and BOY Murdered by
some Unknown Fiend.
Special to the n. O. Times

Special to the ~ o. Times
ABERDEEN, Miss, Nov. 81, 1881.
The most shocking page of our his
tory has just been reported. On yes
terday evening O party of four men
passed through Aberdeen with a
wagon and two horses, and a sulky
and a mule, stating they were from
near the line of Alabama and Georgia,
east of here, and were going to Ar
kansas. Leaving here they camped
some three miles west of here about
two hundred yards from the road.
This evening q gentleman and a negro
passing were attracted by the bowling
Of a dog and nickering OF horses and
went out to the camp where they
found three men and lad lying on a
mattress, covered with quilts, as they
had retired last night, each one with
his head split open as though with an
axe. No result Of robbery was visible;
the horses are all there. The object is
yet mystery. A party of officers
and citizens have left for the scene to
do what can be done in the premises.
A bitter sense Of Indignation pervades
this Mortified community, and all pos
sible means will be resorted TO to ferret
out the perpetrators Of the crime.
The names of the murdered men are
not yet known.

The Doctors in indianapolis have

The Doctors in indianapolis have
been having big fight over the make
up of the staff OF the City Hospital.
The Doctors Of the allopathic persua-
sion who call themselves regulars"
by what authority nobody can find
out-and the members Of other schools
of medicine, irrcgulars," want to
have control Of the entire institution.
The hom@pathists, who are an emin-
entity respectable body Of physicians
at Indianapolis, enjoying an equal
confidence OF the community, have
asked for representation on the staff,
aud the regulars" are making a
fight. The absurdity Of the alophatic
position IL evident. They make the
same claim in Kentucky and else
where, but they dosnot have their
own. way everywhere. That the
whole science Of medicine and
medical experience are embodied
In one school, 10 a proposition
strikingly ridiculous. Its like the as
sumptson OF some sects that salvation
Is alone found In adherence 10 their
particular tenets. As @ matter OF JUS
lice, the two leading schools Of medi-
cine, the allopathic and the homoe-
pathic, should be represented on all
State Boards Of Health and on city
hospital stats and on local boards Of
health. II members Of the two
schools cannot associate, let the boards
be made up Alternately Of members
exclusively of each school. Courier

virginia Republicans badly Left fn
the Scramble for once

special Telegram to the N. o. Times
WASHINGTON Nov. %, lSSl.-The
Virginia Republicans are feeling very
sore, especially ex-senator Lewis and
his friends. They sold themselves out
to the. Readjusters on trust, and now
they are in fair way to go begging
for even respectable recogni-
ton. Lewis, ex-Congressman Amber
Smith, ex-Collector Mills, Richmond !;
Editor Yost Of Staunton, Virginia,
and others were in sorrowftll consulta-
ton over the matter here to-day.
The impression seems to be that while
Lewis has no show at all for the Sem
ate, no Republican has a show for
anything else. The Readjusters pro-
pose to absorb all that's worth hav-
ing, and will insist on exclusive re-
cognition as representatives Of the adj
ministration. A gentleman in high
public position, in conversation to-day
expressed his surprise that Mr.. FREE
linghuysen did not accept the Attor-
ney- Generalship when Il was offered
him, as it would not only enable him
to add largely to his legal reputation,
but open the way TO O seat on the
Supreme bench. How's that ?' was
asked, " For reason, !" he replied, "that
Justice. Bradley win resign within a
year and Frelinghuysen will be book
ed for the place. This is the first in
timation ever given to the public that
be contemplates retiring.
