1t is said in one place that they offered
him wine and myrrh-an intoxicating
draught-whichyHe refused. He wanted
to die sober. Absence Of water! There
was the absence OF light also. You know
that darkness exasperates any kind OF

of 1878, when i was on board the steamship

to go down and all the lights in the cabin
had been blown out. The captain came in,
crawling as the steamer tossed, and said:

The Connecticut Supreme Court has given
an opinion which establishes ailirmativcly
the eligibility of women to be admitted TO
practice in Connecticut courts. Some months
ago Miss Mary Hall of Hartford, applied to
the Hartford County Superior Court for adj
mission to the Bar. The examining commit
tee found her to be duly qualified as 10 her
legal requirements. but as she was the first
applicant of her sex in Connecticut to apply
for admission to practice and in the absence
of any precedent and in view of differing
opinions as 10 her eligibility on account of her
sex, the question of her right to admission
was reserved for the highest tribunal in the
State. The decision just announced will be
followed by renewal of her application to
the County Court to be enrolled as an attor-

Some unpleasant stories are aoat concern
ing Barrios, the President of Guatemala, who
is now visiting this country lie has been at
the head of the Guatemala Government for
ten years. Recently he changed the form
and name OF his office from that of dictator
ship to that of President, but it is asserted
that his practices remain the same now that
they were when he was known rs dictator.
1t Is charged that in 1877 a revolt took place
in one OF the mountain districts, and after it
was subdued hundred of the rebels were ar
rested and sentenced to be shot, A priest
named Pajes went to Barrios to intercede for
the lives of his doomed parlshioners Being
somewhat more pcrtinacious than suited the
within Of the ruler, he struck the priest 10 the
face. The latter attempted to prevent rep
etition OF the blow, whereupon Barrios called
for his retainers. The priest was then thrown
to the floor and beaten. While the retainers
were kicking him about, Barrios fired pis-
tol ball through the PROSTATE victim, killing
him outright. The body was conveyed away
and secretly buried. In the Fall Of the same
year twenty citizens were publicly shot by
Barrios's order on the pretence that they had
entered into conspiracy to usurp the Gov
eminent.

As already announced in our telesraphic
columns, the House contested election cas-, OF
Smals against Tillman ended in the unsaat-
ing of the latter and the seating of Smalls.
According to the census Of 1880 the number
of colored males of voting age in the district
exceeded the number Of white males OF vot-
ing age by about IL, 900, and yet Tillman, the
Democratic candidate, was returned to Con
gress by fraudulent majority of more than
eight thousand The House Elections Com
mittee found that Smalls, the Republican
candidate, was actually elected 10y majority
of nearly fifteen hundred. There is not a
shadow of doubt but tina, thousands of Re-
publicaps were prevented from voting, and
that those who did vote were cheated out of
their vote by a fraudulent count.

The striking Western iron workers seem
to be slowly gaining grouud, Sixteen mills,
having in their employ about 1850 men, have
Yielded TO the strikers demands, and signed
the scale of rates fixed by them, Many mill
owners have adopted the so-caled "Cincin-
natl agreement" by which the rate is to he
fixed according to the final action at Pitts
burg. The result of the strikes 10 Pit,sburg
will doubtless be the general result, through
out the country. But capital there has suffer
ed far less than labor. The forfeited wages
of the strikers already foot up the enormous
sum OF s3,OOOOOO. Employers say that
they have been rather glad than otherwise of
the interval of rest, as it has given them an
opportunity of making needful repairs ON
machinery, while the iron market has been so
dull that they could not have run with profit
even at the old rates. On the whole, there
fore, the advantage OF the labor revolt will be
likely to accrue to employers, in spite of con-
cessions and compromises in certain local
tiles
