Advanced Weather Outlook.

To the Edtor OF The Re)itbElcdn:
A new, yet not very well developed
low o-day in the far West-just this side of the
Rocky Mountains. For want of a sufficient mum.
Der rof stations in this locality-between the western
slope of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific
coast-we are unable to define the centre of the
area of low barometer until well past this point.
More stations in this immediate neighborhood
would enable us to pick lote up at an earlier day
whereby we could make better calculations as to
when il would reach US. From appearances to-
day it would seem that the storm centre would be
here from Saturday to Sunday C12th to 13th)
pearances are very favorable for pleasant day on
the 18th, though probably windy from the effects
of an eastern ioIU. / p. NJ

LOVE AND GOLD.

He was stalwart, brave, and bold,
And a tale of love he told
To stately maiden, fair and cold,
As they sat in the gloom
OF a fire-lit room
One night.
She promised to be his bride,
And he to be her guard and guide;
They plighted their troth there, side by side,
As they sat in the gloom
Of a fire-lit room
One night.
But suitor of wealth untold
Sought this maid, SO fair and cold.
She forgot her lover brave and bold,
Who sat in the gloom
Of firelit room
One night.
She had given her heart for gold,
And she spurned the lover bold
Who had wooed and won that maiden cold,
As they sat in the gloom
OF hre-lit room
One night.

II is to be hoped that the commission
erS appointed by the President to attend
the international Silver Conference will
so fully equipped with the facts and argu-
ments embraced in the great report of
Senator Jones on the subject Of double
standard. That report made its author
famous in both hemispheres, and is con-
ceded to be the most exhaustive and able
presentation of the subject ever made. 1t
is to be regretted that Senator
Jones does not himself head the
commission, but probably the Presi-
dent was unwilling to ask or advise
that he should be absent from his place
in the Senate in case of an extra session.
The commissioners appointed are all able
men. The appointment of Judge Thur
man was a graceful compliment to the
statesman who was long the leader of the
opposition in the Senate. Ex-senator
Howe is an earnest and able advocate of
the double standard. Ex-Seeretary Eyarts
will aid in the diplomatic part of the
work, and will also be sure to charm our
foreign cousins with his good dinners.

THE first blades of green grass are
forcing their way upward under the i'm
pulse of the coming spring. A fringe of
living green trims up the bare spots of
winter with a pleasing contrast. Soon
the trees will send forth their messengers
to spy out the summer land, and then the
modest wildfowers, off under the faded
and forgotten leaves of the dead year,
will hold up their bright faces like diff
dent children. And then spinach, or, as
we say, spinnage, will come and gladden.

appetite has increased as his sentiment

A Word of Caution.

A well-knoWn South Carolinian, VINO
has Just arrived in this city, reports that
General Garield's inaugural address IS
already bearing good fruit in that State.
He saws it is common thing to hear
leading Democrats declare that ballot-box
stuffing and election frauds generally
must not again be practiced, as they have
been admonished by Northern Demo-
cratic managers that such acts of lawless-
ness are more than the party North can
stand and hope to survive.
But theSouth Carolina Democracy have
resolved upon a new departure. Hence
forth they will indorse a certain class of
Republicans for the leading Federal posi-
tions, with the hope that such officials
will exert their influence toward divid-
ing the colored vote, thus increasing the
strength of the Democracy in local and
State elections A number of chronic
office-holders from the Palmetto State are
now in this city with applications for
Federal positions, which are indOrsed by
leading Democratic politicians, Senators
Hampton and Butler included, and the
President, in needing such influences,
will be lending his aid to scheme which
is designed to mislead many of the Re-
publican masses in that State.

IN COLD BLOOD.
Twenty Ears of Corn Causes the
Death Of q Texan.

LITTLE Rock, June 9-Another cold
blooded murder was committed on
Thursday on the Arkadelphia and Mt.
Ida road, about eight miles from Holly
wood. 1t appears that two strangers,
hailing from Texas, stopped at the house
OF l hos. Holden, two miles from Holly
wood, during his absence and wanted to
purchase corn to feed their horses.
They were refused by the negro who
had charge of the premises, who
told them that Holden not
being home he could not
let them have the corn. Upon being re.
fused, one OF the men remarked that
they had to have twenty ears anyway
to feed their horses, and throwing the
negro twenty-five cents, took the corn
and started on their journey. Holden
returned home, and, hearing the ne
gro's report, secured the companionship
of John II. Wilson and started in pur-
suit OF the men. They overlook the fu-
gitives some eight miles from Holly
wood, and found one OF the men sitting
on his horse, while the other was sleep.
ing on the ground. The man on
watcn gave the alarm to his sleeping
companion, and then took to flight, but
was pursued and sh 1t down by Wilson.
They captured the remaining man and
returned with him to Hollywood to
have him tried, leaving the
body of the slain man in the woods till
Yesterday. The magistrate, from some
cause, refused to try the prisoner and
he was set at liberty. On Wednesday
an inquest was held on the body of the
slain man, after which he was buried.
Wilson shot the man with aneedle gun,
carrying large minnie ball, which en-
tered the body just below the point OF
the right scapuIa.
