wall. Our informant says that he knew
him when he was q boy, from 1865 to 1871.
he was not regarded as particularly quar-
relsome, though he did several things that
indicated a bad future. When he was 20
years old he was tried for an assault on a
Chinaman with intent to rob him, but
was released on ONE technicality. He
was given somewhat to sprees and drink
ing. He had a younger brother, Chick"
who was a vicious scamp and acquired the
name Of "Turpin," or "Turp," for his
thefts. Nor had Richard any big

Andrews, a prize fighter, who gave a spar

was a miner and worked in the Eureka
mine in Grass Valley previous to his COM
ing to Austin. He evidently had a streak
of bad blood in him or he never would
have ruined a Young girl or taken an ad-
versary and shot HIM in the

in Eureka yesterday, and the general YER
dict was, that though it is a horrible and
cowardly thing for a crowd of masked
men to take a d~efenseless wretch out Of

death, and that in view of his cowardly act
he should not have been allowed the many
chances that the murderer has in Nevada

BOB INGERSoLpS MESSAGE.
Why a Monument WAS Placed Over Tom Cor
wins Grave.
Ne,n York Star.

NeU IOThOt~
ais there monument over Tom Corwin's
grave yet ?" was Col. Ingersoll's telegraphic
reply to an invitation to Lecture In Lebanon
o., last winter.
"No, sir" answered the old gentleman
whe was acting as secretary of the Lecture
Association; and before he had left the tsle-
graph Office the operator, handed him mes
sage which read:
would not lecture in your old town sor
half oft. (Signed)
ROBERT u. INGERsoLL.
Corwin's grave is on the crest of little
knoll on the east side Of the town cemetery
ct Lebanon. The remains of his wife lie on
one side Of him and those Of his son on the
other. Standing over them one can see for
miles acrsss rich valleys and fertile hillsides,
the scene Of more than one Of Corwin's "a
nous speeches. Back in the valley Of Tur-
tie creek 10 the sleepy old town Of Lebanon.
The Gorwin family still reside In the old
mansion near the cemetery. Corwin died in
1855, In Washington, and nearly every man,
woman and child In Warren county focked
to his funeral when his remains were taken
home. They buried him with great pomp,
and then began 70 talk about monument
the family thought the county ought to erect
1t, and the Commissioners said It was plainly
the duty Of the family. Nothing was done
by either Of them until Iagersoll's message
fell among them like hot shot, and turned
the town upside down. Corwin's son-in-law
then ordered . Quincy shaft IS feet high, and
1t has just been put In place.

Monosany and Christianity.
Appleton's Monthly.


The theory that monogamy ID peculiarly
Christian institution, that home and all the
sentiments that pertain to it grow distinctly
out of Christian teachings, Is very common.
Mr.. Black simply echoes prevailing senti-
mont to the sentences We have quoted. But
1t is q sentiment only, and will not bear the
test of historic evidence. Monsgamy does
not come distinctly from the teachings Of
Christ nor Of his apostles; nor does the So
credness and integrity Of home directly arise
therefrom. Monsgamy and polygamy have
always been divided by race and section,sne
being an Occidental and the other an orien-
tai institution. Monogamy is pagan in Its
foundation rather than Christian. 1t existed
In Greece and Rome long before Christiani-
ty was known and it was firmly fixed among
the Ceramic tribes from the earliest period.
The Christian religion In Its westward course
found the principle of one wife universally
established. The root-idea of our modern
homes is, therefore, pagan. The Christian
religion in the course of time came To lend
itself with great effect to the sentiment OF
home; and to-day the two thing. are 50 in
tsrwoven IS to appear parts Of one system.
But at first Christianity, so far as 1t touched
the subject at al, encouraged celibacy. In
asmuch as carnal passion is under much
greater subjectisn in monogamy than with
polygamy, the saints naturally sdopted the
principle that, If man married at all, one
wife must suffice. 1t is not certain, however,
whether this principle in all cases was rigid
ly carried out. St. Paul said that bishop
should be husband of one wife, and the
question has naturally been asked whether
this means that laymen were ever permitted
more than one. The early sentiment Of the
Christians, however, was mainly for celibs-
CIV; and we know how under the influence
of this idea whole sections of the country in
short time began to swarm with monks.
In time the church established marriage as
a sacrament; but even then 1t placed celiba-
cy on . high plane. 1t forbade the clergy to
marry; 1t encouraged women to pledge then
selves to vlrginity; it organized male cell
bates Into orders of mem pledged to absti-
nence. 1t is because nature is stronger than
theory, instincts more powerful than ethics,
that we have marriages or homes at all.

The Improvement OF Human Health.

In result of somewhat large acqusint-
ance with the facts held to indicate the state
and progress of "human health" l fear my
testimony must be given to show that the
improvement effected by science consists In
prslongation Of the passive endurance of
life, rather than an extension Of the period
of true vitality, or any increase Of the OPP
portunity for good work and real intellectual
enjoyment. We may olive" longer, but our
lives are not either happier or more useful
for the excessive energy recently devoted to
the conservation OF health, or the inordin-
ate and laborious means taken to avoid
disease and death. 1t may, doubtless, be
possible 10 raise humanity to the level Of
one of those scientific toys which approx
mate perpetual mstion, but expend their
whole force in moving themselves. Whether
longevity purchased at the price Of passing
lifetime in running away from death would
be worth having, must leave to be deter
mined by the judgment of those who set q
value on our so-called sanitary progress,
which /, for one, fall to recognize. y
Think men were happier and better, and
lived nobler lives before the pursuit of
health and the yearning for longevity be-
came a craze, almost amounting to madness.
What to eat, drink and avoid, what to wear,
where and how to live, BY what means to
avoid infection, to keep of disease, and to
escape death for . few weary and worried
years, are questions which engross the
thoughts, II they do not embitter the lives,
of the multitude, that the proposition, "Is q
sanitary life worth living?" has come to be .
subject Of serious contemplation, and one
which the taxed and harassed community
will sooner or later b compelled to enter
tain.-Dr. Granville in a letter TO the Spec
tdtor.

When a Woman viii Know What a
Mans Drsss 10.

One Of the great female writer's on dress
reform, in trying 10 illustrate how terrible
the female dress 10, says:
aTake = man and pin three or four table,
cloths about him, fastened back with elastic
and looped up with ribbons, draw all his
hair to the middle Of his head and tie Ii
tight, and hairpin on FIVE pounds Of other
hair and q big bow of ribbon. Keep the
front locks on pins all night, and let them
tickle his eyes all day, pinch his waist into .
corset, and give film gloves size too small
and shoes the same, and q hat that will net
stay ON without torturing elastic, and little
lace veil to blind his eyes whenever he goes
out to walk, and he will know what =
woman's dress is"
Apropos of the above the Chicago Tri-
bune goes on to say:
"Now you think you have done it, DON'T
you, isis? Why, bless you, that tosgery
would be heaven compared to what = man
has to contend with. Take . woman and
put pair of four shillings mems drawers on
her SO tight that when they get damp from
perspiration they stick so you can't cross
your legs without an abrasion of the skin,
the buckle In the back turning somersault
and sticking the points into your spinal men,
nights put on an undershirt that draws
across your chest So you feel you must cut .
hole in 1t or two, and which is so short that
it works up under your arms and allows the
starched upper shirt TO sandpaper around and
file of theskin until you wish It was night,
the tail of which will not stay tucked more
than half block, though you tuck, and tuck
and tuck; then fastcn collar made of sheet
zinc, two sizes too small for you, around
your neck put on a vest, aad coat, aud Liver
pad, and lung pad, and o porous plaster, and
| a chamois shirt between the others; then
put bunch Of keys, and q jaeg-knife, and I
button-hook, and pocketbook, and pistol
and plug of tobacco in ourpockets so they
will chafe your person, and then 60 ant
drink few whisky cocktails and wall
around in the sun with tight boots on, and
you will know what mans dress is. Com.

Eugenis and Prince Napoleon.
Hartford Post.

Hartford Post.
The Empress Eugene, who detested
Prince Napoleon, once wanted the Empnror
to render 1t impossible for the Prince, WHOM
she treated rs carpet knight,to 60 on wear
ing the iepaulettes and drawing the pay of a
general Of division. He had been, she ar
gued, nicknamed "Craintplomb" by the Due
d'Aumale. N. deMorny, who was present,
was appealed to by the irate and exalted
lady, who asked him whether he thought
steam would be powerful enough to drag the
Prince on the ground where the Due d'Au-
male was ready to await him with pistol in
hand and seconds behind him.
"Alas! no." replied M. deMorny. sTf ever
ball is found In the stomach of his Imperial
Highness, 1t will through having swallowed
1t by mistake"
Another Of M. deMorny's mots was uttered
in response to question from little Prince
Louis
"What, Duke" said the child, ais the diff
ference between an accident and msfor-
tune ?"
"If," returned M. deNorny, 'syour cousin,
Prince Napoleon, fell into the Seine, 1t would
be an accident; If a brave waterman dashed
in after him and pulled him out it would be
misfo rtune."
