A Brutal Rapist Lynched.

LOUISVILLE, June ia special to the
EUeain9 Post from Mount Sterling says: "a
negro named Jim Mitchell, we'll known
about here as a vicious character, waylaid
the vile of a respectable farmer named
Robert Thomas at noon yesterday and
ravished her in the most brutal manner
The scene was only two miles from town, and
within two hours the wretch was in JAIL The
husband went through the streets swearing
until the sympathy of the citizens was
aroused to such pitch that no effort was
made to prevent five men who, armed with
pistols, entered the Jail and forced the jailer
to deliver the victim, who was taken and
hung to a railroad trestle, about half a mile
from town. The body was taken down this
morning and buried by the coroner. He
confessed the crime twice, and was fully
identified by Mrs. Thomas. Every body, even
the negroes, fully justify the decision and
execution OF Judge Lynch.

THE cENsus BUREAU.

The bulletins issued by the Census Bureau

American people with an avidity which
shows the deep concern that is felt as to eur
material resources. The delay in publishing
the regular census returns is tantalizing, as
the valuable and interesting information

yearning desire to peruse the complete re-

Terrible Doraestic Tragedy.

ST. LOUIS, June ia bloody and horri-
BILE tragedy is reported from Xenia, Ill. 1t
appears that William johnson and wife, who
have not been living with each other for the
past year or two, met in Centralia two or
three days ago, and johnson prevailed upon
his wife 10 go away with him. He took her
to the house of Mrs. Beard, in Xenia, who
is cousin of Mrs. johnson, and after spend
ing two days together there, he yesterday
morning shot her through the head, killing
her instantly. He then put bullet in his
own brain, from which he died in three
hours, but without recovering consciousRess.
He left a brief note, stating that il he and
his wife could not live together here, they
could die and go to heaven together. There
appears to have been a long-standing quar-
rel between the families of the dead people,
who live four miles from Centralis, and it is
supposed that the separation of johnson and
his wife grew out of that fact, and that
johnson concluded the better way to get out
of continuous trouble was for both himself
and his wife to die.

THE NOBLE w0RKINGMEN.

The noblest men know on earth
Are men whose hands are brown with toll
Who, backed by no ancestral groves,
Hew down the wood and till the soil,
And win thereby prouder name
Than follows king or warriors fame.
The workingmen, whater the task,
Who carve the stone and bear the bod,
They bear upon their honest brows
The royal stamp and seal OF God;
And worthier are their drops Of sweat
Than diamonds in a eoronet.
God bless the noble workingmen,
Who rear the city and the plain,
Who dig the mines, who build the ships,
And drive the commerce of the main,
God bless them, for their toiling hands
Have wrought the glory of all lands.

How many OF the seventy-five

Nine. Negro, nee Paule Mincke, the
communarde, wanted her son and heir regis
tered (she would not have him baptized) by
the euphonius style of -Blanqui-Ver-
"ingetorix the granG figures of revolt
against God and mankind. The register re-
fused, "inasmuch as the law did not recog-
nize such names as prenomens" Madame
Negro protested and asks: care We to be
compelled-we the freethinking and Social
istic mothers and fathers of families-to
make our children bear odious or ridiculous
names taken from the Catholic calendar or
from the history of the Roman emperors-
and yet not permitted to honor the memory
of those dear TO humanity and 10 our party,
by giving to our children respectable and be-
Lored names-names of the apostles of popu-
lar freedom, or of the heroic fight for Gaul
ish liberty which our ancestors maintained?
Therefore, ii is perfectly right, according TO
law, to call our children Oculi, Cunegonde,
Pancratius, Cesar or Messslina, and it is for
hidden to call them Vercingetorix, Sacrovir,
or Valleda, Theroigne, Marat or Danton."
This is pen picture of the modern New
York damsel, being fearfully and wonder
fully "made up" What is being pinnet on
in front is hair. That which is being
fastened on behind is more hair. That dye
going on under the eye is more eyelash.
That paint on the cheek is more of the bloom
of health. The armor going over the waist
is more shape. No man with any work to do
could endure one of those things on a hot
day. But she can, yet she belongs to the
weaker sex" The gown or gowns she wears
fetter her stride by two or three inches. She
may only take two-for-a-cent steps, when she
might just as well take three-cent steps.
Now she buckles herself tightly in her
armor. That is for fear she might fall to
pieces on the sidewalk. The last aids to
nature are the shoes. The feet are first
melted, then poured into them, and lastly
stuck up on two stills behind called heels.
Now she is ready fer a walking-match or
any other kind OF exercise. Perchance this
is the wife or daughter of the doctor who
tells other women they mustn't lace so
tightly. Can he cure tight-lacing or shoe
ing in his own camp? Oh, no. There is no
prescription in all the pharmacopeias put
together which can cure 1t when it so RACES
in the doctors own family. There Is only
one dress worn without the corsets or French
heels. 1t is a shroud.

WE cannot regret to see the power OF the

better that it should be curbed now before it
developes into an evil too consequential TO
be handled effectively. The carpetbag gov
