slaves without granting compensa-
ton. The Republicans hold that
Virginia must pay Its debt. The
anti-Bourbons declare that one-third
of the ante-war debt of Virginia
should be paid by West Virginia
and they therefore ignore so much
of the debt volume in toto. The re.
mainder they declare must be paid
to the last farthing. They propose
to equalize the valuation, and fix
the tax rate at a figure which shall
pay the interest and extinguish tho
principal in a long term of years.

ELMOTTv1LLE, \. y, Aug. p
Edward Northup, a prominent at
torney, shot and killed Joseph o.
Donnell, clerk for lumber firm
in that place yesterday Northup
had been administrator of the es-
tate of O'Connell's fatheh. In closing
up the affairs Of the estate young
O'Donnell claimed that Northup
withheld $500 due him. This the
attorney denied. Several times in
the past year 0'Donnell has made
personal assaults upon Northup on
account of this misunderstanding.
On one occasion Northup caused
the arrest and imprisonment of o.
Donnell, which intensified the lat
ters hatred for Northup. At IL
o'clock yesterday Northup was in
the Crawford House conversing with
friend, when O'Donnell entered
approached him, and said, "You
-, can whip vou," and struck
him. Northup seized O'Donnell.
In the struggle both fell to the floor.
Northup's friend ran out to call for
assistance, and during his absence
heard three shots fired. One bali
entered O'Donnell's right lung, and
another passed completely through
his abdomen from site to side.
O'Donnell died within few hours
Northup Immediately surrendered
himself to the authorities. The af-
fair has created great excitement in
the village and vicinity, owing to
the high standing of both parties.
1t is thought that O'Donnell was

row escape from terrible casualty
was had on Lake Monona tonight.
Two steamboats, ply between Madi-
son and Lakeside, carrying passen-
gers to and from the Sunday School
Assembly camp. One boat is u IA
vorite, and receives a great majority
of the passengers, much to the dis
gust of the other. Shortly before 10
O'Clock the Barnes boat was on her
return trip with a heavy load,
many of whom were women and
children, who had attended the
evening meeting. The other boat,
run By Captain Blackman, was on
her way to the camp for load, and
when half way across, where the
water is very deep, the boats should
have passed. Captain Blackman,
however, left the regular course and
steered directly in front of the
Barnes boat 1t was done when Mr..
Barnes was engaged collecting
tickets. He saw the extreme peril
and gave an order to bear away TO
the left, and jumped to reverse the
engine, so as to avert a collision in
the nick of time. Ten seconds later
Barnes would have been unable to
save his boat, and - passengers
would have been floundering in the
water. As it was the boats collid-
ed although Barnes succeeded in
wheeling around so that Blackman's
boat did not strike him fairly, but
glanced off, The women and child
rem were terror stricken, and some
were preparing to jump into the wa
ter. The opinion of the passengers
is that Blackman's action was Ell
ther a foolhardy one or was a das-
tardly attempt to wreck the Barnes
boat, and may be made the subject
of an investigation.

The heinous practice of carrying
concealed deadly weapons has an
other victim in the person of Mr..
Joseph O'Donnell, of Ellicotville, n.
~. O'Donnell claimed that Edward
Northrop, a lawyer, had withheld
from him $500 of his fathers estate,
which the lawyer positively denied.
O'Donnell met Northrop and as
saulted him, when the latter pulled
out a pistol and fired three times,
killing his man almost instantly.
Both parties were reputably con-
nected, and enjoyed the esteem of
their townsmen. When will the
practice of carrying deadly weapons
cease. Had Northrop aot had a
pistol in his pocket, his hands would
not now be stained w;h the blood
of a fellow-man, nor would two
homes be shrouded with gloom.
The law in regard to this practice
should be rigidly enforced every
where, and al found guilty should
be made to suffer the penalty.
Mayor King, of Philadelphia is
making strenuous efforts TO have it
enforced in that city, and his exam
pie is worthy of imitation by all
good officers. If the law on the
subject is not forcible enough it
should be rendered so at the first
practicable moment. No one thing
will dc more to lessen the number
of cases Of murder and deadly as
saults that now cumber the records
of too many of our courts.

The Perfected Young Thing.

Although American girlhood, says the
Philadelphia Times, has none of the
chaperoning which curbs and confines
the over-expansiveness of youth, there
are beginning to manifest themselves in
thigh life," as the French are fond of
calling it, signs and tokens that the fu-
ture young woman is to he reared on q
more exotic system then heretofore. In
deed, that superior caste of American
society enabled to enjoy the benefit of
foreign travel, has already come to a
tacit understanding that the ways of our
grandfathers and grandmothers are
Every bad form" It is, therefore,
the rule now to bring young people
of the superior conditions of life
together by regular approaches. The
artificial system begins at school. The
fashionable female of the academy OF
the day, in furtherance of this new de-
parture among the social elite, presents q
curriculum of manners and forms that
would surprise the noblesse of our revo.
lutionary epoch. First, season is given
to the carriage of the young person. She
is labored with in season to master the
various tricks of expression which when
its consummate flower ravishes the golden
youth, graduated from ar almost iden-
tical system of mental, physical and
moral procrustepnism. Months are
spent in training these cumbersome
members, the arms, that they may hang
in limp equability. The training for this
piece de resistance is long and severe.
The young person is compelled to walk
hours at time with the arms hanging at
full length, partly clasped behind the
body, the theory being that the chest is
expanded, and the limbs inducted into
the mysteries of ease and graceful action.
On the other side of the water this atti-
tude is assumed by the feminine schools
as they promenade in battalions In quiet
streets, pal ks and public gardens, under
the wary guard Of a dozen chaperones.
Next in importance comes the voice. The
management of this in American subjects
foreign teachers grOan over. The nose
notes and the scream are the marked
traits of the American organs. No Eu-
ropean young person ever raises her
voice. This is the utmost aggravation
of "bad FORM" and the vocal organs of
our young barbarians are at once keyed
to sepulchral diapason, in which the
stomach does the heaviest duty. After
awhile the society of well-bred young
women is like the echoings of whisper
ing gallery. Instead of measuring the
mother tongue in the old-fashioned, mo-
notonous way, the young girl of the
period ends every interrogation in sort
of musical cadence, the pianissomo of
the rising infection finally ending with
the last word. The bewitching effect of
this it is impossible to describe-a sort
of vocal languor dimly suggestive of
summer skies, fowery isles, and the ten
der ripple of the sunset sea. The COM
plete young person graduated from the
swell academy is not a creature to be
lightly approached, and no wonder the
marriage market is reported year after
year lighter and lighter, with "tone'
rising,
