Bob Ford shot him for the reward
it is his. Let him have it.-Merico
Ledger.
The published reward was for the
arrest and delivery of Jesse James to
the sheriff of Davies county. AS the
bandit vas not delivered to the Da-
vies county authorities, please ex-
plain what claim the assassin has to
it, Or by what authority the Governor
al pay it over to him.-Louisiana
Press.
W. had almost forgotten who Jesse
James was, but come to think of it,
we remember that he was one among
a few horse thieves and assassins who
got his just deserts in this world, and
received at last just the kind of stuff
he had been dealing out for years.
We have no explanations to make
none are in order and none are need
ed. We are rejoicing and not ex-
planning. If you are in trouble
about the delivery we can inform
you that the devil has now got Jesse
and is making it warm for him. We
notice that some people think Jesse
went to heaven. It would be an in
teresting sight to e Jesse flying
around with black wings and a black
mask on, a doublc-barrel shotgun
and a couple Of Colts reyolvers buck
eled around him, walking up the gold
en- streets, jingling his brass spurs
and carrying a coffee sack for the
plumber. If any of these believers
have been to hell and could not find
Jesse, and therefore think he is in
heaven, we a ''explain'' that we
don't think the devil would let him
in, but told him to go steal a bushel
of birthstone and q box Of matches
and start a little hell of his own.

Hardin College Logic.

Last week, while taking a walk in
South Mexico, we found the following
manuscript, which, without doubt,
was by written a member of the junior
class of Hardin Colleges:
1.-The child is father to the man."
Hence the child would be paternal
grandfather to the mans child. But
the latter child, being also father to
the man, would be, therefore, his own
paternal grandfather. Hence this
latter child would have two paternal
grandfathers, both children, of whom
he himself was one. Now, this rule
being universal, the other child would
be likewise his W grandfather, and
hence great-great-grandfather to the
aforementioned child. But these
two children were each father to the
man, q state of affairs which can be
accounted for only on the ground
that n of them was 4 step-father.
That is, they both married the same
wife. 1t is presumable that the one
who was neutrality-suspicious. of
the other married her first, for if not,
the other would have married one OF
his direct female ancestors before she
was married. This borders on the
improbable. 1t is, then, only left to
assume that the child married his
great-great-grandmother after the
death of his great grandfather. This
brings us to a conclusion far more
startling than that of Mr.. Words.
worth, viz: The child is step-great.
great grandfather to himself. Sc
was it when the world began. If so,
this is n convincing argument on the

THE IRISH

Since the assassination of President
Garfield, nc event has happened that
has so stirred the heart of the world
as the recent murder of the Chief and
Under Secretaries of Ireland, on Sat
urdav last, in Phoenix park, Dublin.
This horrible affair seems, at least
temporarily, to have deprived Ireland
of human sympathy. From all quar-
tiers of the globe the kilograms re-
ceived are notes of horror and de-
%nunciation, and in this country even,
the most sympathetic of all Others
with wronged Irishmen, condemna-
ton of what has been done is as uni
vcrsal as it is outspoken.
Lord Frederick Cavendish, new
Chief Secretary, and his assistant,
MIR. Thomas Henry Burke, were at
tackled by four men in slouched hats
who drove up to where they were
promenading in the park upon a car.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Burke was
first assailed and stabbed, and that
Lord Cayendish fell while attempting
to rescue him. The villains ran their
knives repeatedly through the bodies
of their victims, and thus produced
alntest instant death. Their clothes
were saturated, and when their bodies
were moved each laid in a pool of its
own blood.
At the time this horrible tragedy
was enacted, the park was crowded
in many places. Thousands of per-
sons were sitting and talking within
a few hundred yards of it, and yet all
remained in ignorance of what had
been done. The murder must have
been visible also from the windows OF
the Vice Regal Lodge. Immediately
after executing their design, the foul
men drove rapidly away and out Of
the park upon the "a OIL which they
came. As they passed a Capt. Grea'
trix, that official, supposing it had
been only a drunken medley, said tt
them: You handled them roughly
and received in reply, "You b'
damned" The Captain thinks hi
can identify one Of the men, and thu
gatekeeper says he will be able tt
recognize at least two of them.
Expression has been given in Grea
Britain to the theory that it was no
the intention of the assassins to sla,
Lord Cavendish but that he was mur
dered solely on account of his com
Danion and his stout defense of him
This suggestion, however, seems t
have been wholly conjecture, an
may have arisen out Of the warning
it was known Mr.. Burke had received
that he would be attacked and killed
At this distance from the scene, thi
theory seems to be upset by the fol
lowing incident. During the Satul
day Dublin procession, a man in
CURED three times whether Lor
Cavendish were present. At last tn
Secretary raised his hat and annount
ed his presence, upon which th
stranger replied: ''Thank you; ths
will do" At last accounts no on
had been arrested, nor, rs far as
known, has suspicion been attache
to any particular individuals, c
bodies, or classes, secret or Other
wise, in Ireland or elsewhere.

Management Of Grape Vines.

The increase Of disease, etc, among
our vines and fruits is leading intelli.
gent oulturists to the inquiry If there is
not something radically wrong in our
modes Of pruning, training, or general
management Of the vine. AS yet, per-
haps. we cannot put our finger on this
or that practice and prove that il is well
to try experiments continually and see
il we may not discover it.
In respect to summer pruning we be-
lieve it injurious to check severely mid
summer growth. The vines having been
properly pruned in the previous fall or
winter, all the necessary pruning for The
succeeding crop is to disbud all unne-
cessary shoots as they start in the spring
leaving only canes enough for the next
years fruit and the next years reliance.
Everything should be rubbed out as il
appears, then let the necessary wood
grow with little or no check throughout
the season.
A practice often seen Of training vines
close TO the sides Of building is offer
unwisc, in that it prevents free circu
lation Of air, often causing sunburn oi
leaves, and attracting insects, etc. A
trellis should be placed foot or more
away from the building TO train the vim
to and allow for good circulation. Floul
of sulphur should be kept at hand ready
for use on the first indications Of mildew
