crowd was in attendance 1t the Agriculture al

5000 persons were present. There was great
interest manifested in the auction sale Of
thoroughbreds and graded cattle held to-
day, and in many respects it was grand
success. Forty-odd head of cattle were sold,
confined nearly entirely TO Jerseys, and, with
the exception of six thoroughbred bulls, the
sale consisted of graded Jersey COWS and
heifers. From the presence of representative
men from this and adjoining States, one
would infer that the Little Jersey" greatest
boom had not yet come. Many of the cattle
go out of the State. Among the crowd were
recognized Ex-Governor Stone, Governor
Lowry; Colonel Stuart, of New Orleans;
Captain Dufie, of Mobile, and Judge Ar
mold, of Columbus. This sale is the inaugu-
raj sale of blooded stock, to be conducted
annually hereafter, under the auspices of
the Agricultural and Mechanical College.
Liberal prices were paid for cattle. Two
hundred and Ten dollars was the highest paid
for bulls, 500 for graded milch cows, and
s44 for yearling heifers. Ck.i bbeha county

Brutal Rapo of a TweIve.Year.oId Child.

FREMONT, O., July 4-One of the most
atrocious crimes ever perpetrated in this city
occurred on Friday night, but was not made
public until Sunday. The perpetrator Of
the deed is George Driver, of the firm of
Driver & Anderson, stone-cutters on the
Catholic church, and his victim the little
twelve-year-old daughter of Mrs. Lydia
Shepardson, divorced wife OF DIR. Noah
ShepardsoD, now of Wyandotte, Mich The
particulars of the crime are as follows:
For some time past Mrs. Shepardson has
kept boarders, and among them was Driver.
In the evening she had occasion to go to a
nelghbor's, and her little daughter was
in the adjoining yard. A short time
after she had gone Driver came down
stairs from his room with mis- hat and
coat, going out the front door and around
the house 10 the pump on the porch
for a drink. The little girl, seeing him
there, and supposing he had just come and
wanted to get IN, went through the house
and opened the back door. He came in, and
after finding that Mrs. Shepardson was out,
and no one in the house, took her by the arm
and led her 10 the parlor, where he threw
her on the sofa and violated her person,
placing his hand on her throat to prevent
h-r screaming. He afterwsrd threatened her
if she told any one of the occurrence. Driver
very cooly went to his room where ne was
found by Mrs. Shepardson, and at her re-
quest came down stairs and was confronted
by the little girl, but he stoutly denied her
charges, but acknowledged leading her as
far as the organ in the parlor. The little
girl tells straightforward story. Her
mother was 30 worried over the matter that
she hardly knew what to do. Finally, on
the advice of friends, warrant was issued
for the scoundrel's arrest, and an officer sent
for him. Driver is 4 married man, having a
wife aud two children in Toledo, one OF the
children being only two weeks old. The
child is able to be around the house.

The "snob" who is the London corre-
spondent OF the New York Tribune con-
ataatly misrepresents the Irish members Of
Parliament, and discolors and distorts facts
for the purpose OF putting them at disad-
va1tage with ihe American public in their
contests with Gladstone and his co-work kers
OF the ministry. The latest evidence of this
species of fslsehood appears in the short
cable letter in last Sundays Tribu1s, in which
he says hat "the Irish members during the
whole night deliberately resorted to every
means Of evaporation, including systematic
obstruction. The language used was in
credible in indecency and ferocity. This
ended as they ex pected and desired-in their
exraision-to which the House reluctantly
resorted." Contrast this statement with the
interview between Mr.. Parnell and DIR. Lyon

does TO Us, falsehood out of the whole
doth, made in the superserviceable and

BOSTON sNoBBERY-A BIRD FROM THE HUB
BEFoULING ITS OWN NEST.
The American Register says: "The bird
that makes foul his own nest can scarcely be
held up as model OF cleanliness, and the
man who in the face of truth joins foreigners
in running down his own country cannot be
shown as model Of patriotism. The writer
of an article in the Boston Transcript has
lately given to the world at large his opinion
OF the state of American society and Ameri-
can manners, and il has been repuDlished in
the British press to the delight Of the British
multitude. We have no time TO waste in
going through the whole of this eiusion, but
will merely glance at one or two points which
we consider too glaring to let pass unnoticed.
Speaking OF the deficiency of Americans In
the higher branches of education the writer
says: 'Latterly we have sought to remedy our
deficiency in two ways-by sending our sons
abroad and by importing European scholars
TO 6ll our professorships.' This Statement: is
simply incorrect. With very few exceptions,
which might be told upon the fingers, the
professors of American colleges are Ameri-
cans, and 1t may be said that foreigners are
as scarce in the professional chairs of the
United States colleges as in those of Great
Britain or any other European nation. The
writer then complains that we have nothing
answering to the unique class OF English
gentlemen in whom line morals and fine
manners hold the close relation of cause and
effect We are not sure that We should
so lament the absence of this interesting
class. British divorce courts have been
