Cox His rulings yesterday on the points
of law involved i'll the Guitcau case were
sound and sensible. and can be approved by the
greatest sticklers for legal accuracy as well as
by the pubic which only keeps the ends of
Justice in view The Judges most important
decisions we're, first, as to the question of juris-
diction, on which he held that the jurisdiction
is complete in the place where the wound Is
completed -; and second, concerning the LEGAL
test of insanity, on which his ruling was that
"the knowledge and appreciation of the differ
the correct test" Daring the argument OF
Judge Porter for the prosecution Guitean's
behavior was more outrageous than Mt any time
while the witnesses were under examination.
For while il was difficult TO determine
whether the LAWYER or the criminal had the
floor Guiteau's interruptions occupying abOnt
as much time as POrtcr's speech. The lawyer
got the best of this unsecmly debate, and once
succeeded by his terrible denuncia ion Of the
murder of the President and the scathing in
vective ho piled upon the criminal, in cOwing
the miserable wretch into silence, but it was not
for long The vicious tongue of the assassin
soon started afresh. When he could think Of
nothing else to say, he resOrted to epithcts and
personal abuse. If there ever was a time in
the course of the trial when the Court would
have been justified in ordering one of the
negro deputy marshals to put his hand on
Guiteaus mouth every time he opened it, that
time was yesterday.

By an overwhelming vote yesterday The
House of Representatives sent both the con-
tcstants for the Utah seat to the Committee
on Elections, and determined that pending the
report of that committee the seat should remain
vacant. An evident reluctance was shown to vote
on any general propositions in connection with
the Mormon problem. Members who desired to
have the House commit itself to the PROPOSE
ton that Utah should have no representation in
Congress until its people ceased to violate the
laws, or to the more moderate assertion that
no polygamist should be allowed to sit in the
House. were unsuccessful in their efforts.
Perhaps 1t is well that they were. The sub
Jet is too important to be dealt with wisely
III an ti-hand fashion on the motion OF IN
dividual members. The Elections Committee
should first inform the House whether Cannon
or Campbell, or neither, should he given the
seat, and later after careful deliberation, the
judiciary Committee should bring in a bill to
effect the eradication of polygamy by some
sure and safe process, which shall not need
lessly wrong the innocent victims OF the per-
niclous system.

A Gloomy Report.

Miss Collins, Superintendent of the
Boston charity known as Boffin's Bower,
publishes a gloomy report. An unus-
ually large number of girls have, she
tells us, strayed from the right path
this year, in consequence of the combi-
nation of high prices without increased
wages. ST think" she adds, the
greatest benefactor to young women of
the present day would be some one who
would sink few thousand dollars upon
which they could draw while learning
trades, or in any other trying emergen-
cies, either as donation or loan that
they could eventually repay without in
terest. 1 hope crusade will be inau-
gurated against the low wages of wom-
en-" Miss Collins assumes that young
women are driven by low wages to re-
sort to wrong ways OF getting money,
but in many instances they only do this
through false pride. There is perpet-
ual demand, very insuficiently met, for
domestic servants, who, when efficient,
can obtain the most liberal remunera-
ton, with very considerate treatment.
How active this demand is can be proved
by the fact that the wages paid to an
ignorant, inefficient girl here are what
would be given to an accomplished
after, perhaps, fifteen
years service, in Europe. The high
wages to domesties and the low wages
to girls in stores, eto., arise, Of course,
from the small supply of the one and
the continual glut in the market of the
other. 1t would be edifying to learn
from Miss Collins now many of the
girls who have deviated from the right
path by reason of low remuneration in
stores, etc., have before such deviation
striven to get employment in private
service.

The Pistol.

Says the Springfield Republican
Edward Hovey, who has just been
found guilty of murder in New York by
jury out only Is minutes, appears to
have been pistol fiend of the worst
kind. He has carried pistol since he
knew what pistol was. His sister-in-
law, the murdered woman, took pistol
away from him the day before the MUIR
der. Then he hft the house and pawned
bis coat for a 50-cent pistol and some
drinks of whisky. The next day his
victim saw the new pistol and he shot
her, he claims, as he was handing it to
her. A more worthless and degraded
kind of human vermin than that which
exists on cheap pistols and whisky 1t is
difficult to find

beaten by combined tribes of Bedouins,

beaten by combined tribes of Bedouins,
who carried many Egyptian soldiers in
to slavery. Of late many districts have
been entirely depopulated, and unless
stringent measures are taken the whole
of upper Egypt, including the Nubian
and Kartum Nile regions, will be de-
serted.
On their arrival in the vicinity of
Souakim, the Bedouins find plenty of
ready purchasers for their slaves. These
come from Afghanistan, Turkestan,
Persia, Beloochistan and Arabia, and very
often from Zanzibar, and although British
men-of-war are continually cruising off
this coast, it is seldom that slave dhow
is captured. The men and women are
sold for domestic or agricultural pur-
poses, and those of the young girls who
are likely to become pretty are sent to
the seraglios of Conataptincple.
The boys fare even worse. One use
they are put to is service in the Persian
pearl fisher les. where the little fellows
are thrown into eighteen or twenty
fathoms of water, each with heavy bag
around his neck, and told to drown or
bring up oysters. Not more than 80 per
cent. ever rise to the surface, but this is
comparatively small loss to the Per-
sian pearl seeker, who can buy boy for
$50, and who knows that boy who does
return to the surface alive is worth $3.50
to 5000.
Fortunately for the honor of the Bed
ouins, those of the Arabian and Syrian
desert are mainly noble, true. hospitable
and generous, and proud to retain their
ancient fame.

Liabilities of Employers.

The Scientific american says:-In an
action against an employer for the death
by injury of workman, it appeared that
the death was caused by the slipping of
a plank on which deceased was at work,
and which had negligently been placed
on some guard rails. The employer was
not present at the time, but had left the
work in charge of a competent foreman.
The work was the building of an iron
bridge. The work was in its nature
perilous, but the peril was obvious.
Ample materials were at hand to secure
safety, but the precautions for safety
were neglected through the fault of de-
ceased and his fellow-Iaborers. Held,
that defendant was not liable for the
death. The servant engaging in haz-
ardous employment assumes its risks,
but does not those of the negligence or
malfeasance of the master. The master
must use diligence, having respect to
the nature of the service, to provide the
proper materials, appliances and instru-
mentalities for doing the work, and also
to use due diligence and care in the
selection and employment of competent
and careful fellow-servants for the par
ticular work or service to be performed.

The Seventh Passenger.

The seventh passenger was lady.
There was an abundance of room in the
car, but as she entered an elderly man
rose up with great flourish and called
out: "Take my seat, Madame, I am not
the kind of man to keep a seat in the
street car and oblige lady to stand up" !"
She sank down with q half bow in &C
acknowledgement, and he held ouS his hand
for her fare with the remark: "Some
men are brutal enough to permit lady
to stumble to the fare-box and back, but
that isn't me-" He took her ticket and
deposited it, and then hung to the strap
and continued "And know men who
think that passing lady's fare to the
box gives them the privilege of entering
into conversation with her about the
weather, crops, rate of mortality, poll
tics and so forth. That isn't me, how
ever" The speech had its due effect
upon all the other passengers, including
the victim, and the man let out another
link by remarking "Giving up my seat
in the car to lady does not entitle me
to offer to assist her off the car, or ask
if she is married or single, or in any
manner break down the stern barriers
of social formality, and know it. 1t is
simply an act of courtesy, and shall SO
consider it." There was something pain
full in the situation to the other six, but
relief came by the man reaching the end
of his journey. As he was ready to get
off he looked back and said 81 have
seen men whose conceit obliged them to
lift their hats and bow to everybody III
the car before stepping off, but that
isn't me. I shall step off without any
formality, and without hoping that l
will be missed" When the six looked
back and saw him sprawled in the dust
they were glad of it.

The Riot In South Carolina.
FOUR NEGROES KILLED AND TWENTY

FOUR NEGROES KILLED AND TWENTY
WoUNDED-NoT A WHITE MAN HURT.
A dispatch from Columbus, s. O.,
gives the following account of the riot
there:- Every thing is quiet at Lancas-
ter, and no further outbreak among the
negroes is feared. The Governor has
consequently countermanded his order
for battalion of State troops to go to
the scene of the riot. The casualties
foot up four men killed and twenty
wounded, all negroes. Not white man
was hurt.
The riot occurred at Republican
Greenback mass meeting at Lancaster
Court House, Thursday. Col. B. @.
Cash, who killed Col. William L. Shan
non in duel, in July, 1880, and is now
an Independent candidate of Congress,
with the endorsement of the Republicans
and Greenbackers, was present at the
meeting, and made speech. While he
was speaking, a dificu lty occurred at
the stand between a white man and a
negro. in which the white man was
struck a fearful blow on the head.
Several pistol shots were fired, but no
one was injured.
After the speaking had concluded
about 100 negroes, mounted on mules
and horses and armed with pistols, rode
through the main street of Lancaster,
led by negro man named Crockett. As
they were passing street corner Crock
ett pulled out his pistol, and, drawing
it down on a white man standing on the
sidewalk, said: "There is the rascal
who did the shooting" The white man
told him he lied, whereupon Crockett
fired on him. the ball narrowly missing
his head and passing through the coat
of another white man standing near by.
Three shots were then fred at Crock
ett. who fell from his horse dead. The
firing then became general, and three
more negroes were killed and many
others wounded. The negroes rode into
another street and halted. Serious fears
we're entertained that they would renew
the attack, and to prevent further blood
shed telegram was sent for aid to sup
press the riot.

A MARRIAGE PRoBLEM.-At the
marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. George Harris
at Mount Meridian, Va, the bride re-
fused to say eyes" to the question
whether she would obey her husband.
She said that she saw no reason in such
a promise, and he concluded that no
harm would be done by emitting it,
since he intended to "make her mind
anyhow" Two years elapsed, and a
few days ago the unsettled question
arose again. George ordered his wife
to fry a chicken for dinner, and she
insisted on roasting it. He brought IN
a horsewhip, and declared that he would
fog her until she obeyed. She shot
and killed him.

grave, as they realize what war means.
Now the gray mist creeps up from the

with red. You can see more plainly

UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
THE COURTING OF A CLEVE-
LAND MAN.
How Some Lively Young People
Cured a Hypochondriac.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Leader says
A Cleveland gentleman who is fond of q
story, related to Leader reporter, O
few days ago, an instance of hypochon-
dria which came under his notice when
he was considerably younger than at the
present time. His narrative was some
thing like this: "When I was boy
there lived near our house, in part OF
Cleveland that was then almost in the
woods, maiden lady who was in very
poor health. In girlhood she was not
strong, and as years advanced she i'm
agined herself growing more and more
delicate, till at last she took to her bed,
where she afterward remained in daily
expectation of her death. Her nerves
were delicate, and in my school days
the schoolmaster used to warn us
urchins to keep quiet when going
by her house, as we might disturb
her if any noise was made. My
youth and boyhood passed, and with the
coming of manhood I discovered that a
young sister of the invalid was pretty
girl, and when, after coming home from
church or singing school with her, an
invitation to come in was given, it was
always accepted. The short and awk-
ward visits made at first soon gave place
to the old fashioned sitting up.
"One evening several of the young peo-
pie came in, and the talk and laughter
grew hilarious. It was checked instant
ly by heavy thump on the floor in the
room directly overhead, where the sick
woman lay. One warning was enough,
but the frequency of the same signal
afterward tended to lessen our respect
for it. 1t seems that she kept a big
cane standing at the side of her bed, and
by rapping with it she indicated her
wants-and her displeasures. Finally,
one night, after being cautioned several
times in the usual manner without effect,
the parlor door opened suddenly upon
the assembled party, and the bed-ridden
woman stood before our eyes, holding
bAO dWlul CdAO III 1b was bnC ALou
time she had moved in twenty years.
Her entrance was 50 sudden that she
was able to give two or three stinging
blows to those sitting nearest her before
an escape could be made. In moment
a shout of laughter went up, and the
supposed invalid was not slow in find
ing that she was the cause. Her mother
and sister fixed her up with suitable
clothes, and she spent the remainder of
the evening down stairs, and the day
following she went about the family
house-work. I didn't marry the girl
whom courted under such adverse cir
cumstances. She in time married and
went to Massachusetts,, and it was only
lately that saw the once invalid woman
walking as briskly about as any person
of eighty-seven could be expected to do. "
