Reply to "A Spirit uali>t's Murder Theory -
"r. II. H." in the EVENING LIGHT of
Oct. 5th, gives two very clear evidences or
instances of murder unte. the influence of
liquor and then asserts "ihat there is no reason
that man should be crazy because he is
drunk" and says, II will strengthen this wi tn
postulate to wit: mo man is or ever was
''crazy" from drink
lie then gives the fact of Donovan shooting
Wells behind the ear and being himself shot
behind the ear as proof that Wells finding
himself killed proceeded at once to be re-
venged, and says, at was Wells who in
spired, perhaps himself made the shot His
motive for the coincidence was to have it
known he was revenged." Then he pro-
ceeds to boldly state his theory that the vico6s
dead are the authors OF all the wrong in the
world. Now had once heard spiritualist
assert that in every living man and
woman there was certain amount OF evil
and that every wicked act, thought and
word freed us from so much sin and
prepared us for heaven And hence
the more we stole. lied, murdered and COM
mitted adultery, the better We fitted ourselves
for happiness in eternity; and the less evil we
would have to get rid of beyond the grave.
Ru, have had to read ct. II. HIS" theory
of murder to learn who should be hung or i'm
prSoned for murder. 1t is the vicious dead.
Now, it seems to me, the vicious livjng-,he
man who commits the great crime against
God and society, of drinking, and thus de-
throning reason-and then murder, should be
executed. If the vicious dead commit all the
evil in the world would it not be wise to give
them a wide birth instead of sitting around
tables and inviting their company and COM
municatons? suggest that we let the vicious
lead alone and hang the murderer every
time and also the man who sold him the
liquor to de,hrone his reason, as we would
hang the man who sold a weapon, knowing
that the murderer would use it to take the
life of certain victim of his hate. w. s. b.

TIE GAS NUISANCE.
Fish Killed by the ThOusand---PeOple Driv
Ell to the River for Water.

Mr.. T. E Conner informs us that the gas
emptyings into the San Pedro have caused the
fish to die by the thousand, and the people
ivrng on the creek have been driven to the
river for water. Capt. Shardien visited the
San Pedro at the crossing of South Flores
street and found the matter not at all over
stated. The people have appealed to all the
authorities for relief and so far have received
none, but it has become too serious to be
longer tolerated and legal steps will be taken
to stop the nuisance.

On Sunday an exciting scene occurred in
the Presbyterian church at Sunbury, Pa. The
congregation had been at war with the pastor.
the Rev. M. Ross, who is known as 'the
lighting parson" in that region. For some
time his congregation have striven to have him
vacate the pulpit, which he has steadily re-
fused to do. His resignation was forced at iise
last meeting of The presby,ery. to take effect
October |. lie had prepared his farewell SER
mon. attacking number of he prominent
members of his church, and was prepared 10
preach 1t on sunday. Just as he was about to
proceed, he noticed two reporters. connected
with an evening paper, in the audience. He
demanded that they should withdraw, and, as
they refused, called them by name from the
pulpit. and said if they did not go they would
be put out: They still refused to 90, so the
pastor declined TO preach his farewell sermon,
but wen: out of the pulpit and procured
Sao.her one, which he delivered. He PROM
ised to preach his farewell next Sunday with
closed doors.

The art of shorthand IL, il appears, to be
superseded by one of the qaeerest inventions
on record. The revolution is to be effected
by means OF machine called a glossograph, /"
consisting Of six levers, forming sort vi cage,
each communicating with a tracing pencil.
The use to be made of the gloss"graph" is
rather curious. While the orator or lecture.
is holding forth, the reporter is to .epeat the

sure that gentlemen who think about il, and
especially my western republican friends,
who know all about agriculture and how
nard it is TO make money tilling the soil,
will stand by these people and not agree to
that amendment which does so heavily in
crease the tariff upon cotton.ties, indspen-
sable to haling cotton for market. Noone
industry adds more to the common wealth
than cotton culture. Gotten is a necessity
to millions of people. 1t is not just to put
hard labor of men who raise it, and GER
tainly is inequitable to tax cotton producers
to build up workers in iron. We are per-
fectly willing to bear our Just share of taxa
ton. More than that is unjust, and this
proposed increase is both unwisc and I'M
just.

A UNIQUE BANANA.

Mr.. Horace Crabbe left yester-
day at our office what may be de-
scribed as a freak of nature. There
is a species of banana here, known
as the "twin BANANA" or maia ma
hoe. Ordinarily this produces, as
its name implies, two punches Of
bananas on one main stem. The
specimen before us is, what would,
under ordinary circumstances, have
been one of the twin punches. But
Nature has, in this case, abundaDtly
blessed it by causing it to be, instead
of one, two. So that it may be call
ed twin of twn Unfortunately
the wind cut it down in its early
days, so that we are unable to form
any idea whether the mother plant
could have supported three fl y
developed punches or not.
