A New Version of OthellO.

0'ThellO was q sodger bOuld
Though black he was by nature;
To DisdemOny he was we'd
An innocent young craytllre.
Wild her he lived i'm pace an quiet,
For she was no yyragO,
Till on a cursed night he met
A vilin called IagO.
SeZ he: "Yer wife's perjured jade!
Och she's faithless lassie-oh.
She doesn't care two pins for you,
But she ID give her two eyes for CasshiO!
"Wid him she galivants about
All i'm her hours of laysure;
To him she gave her handkerchief
All for to wipe his rayzhure. ~
Wild that he fell into a rage,
An riZ wOndhrOus riot,
An swore he'd murdther her that night
Whin every thing was quiet.
But not wild dagger, or wild dirk,
For that would raise foul sthir,
But he'd take an blow the candle ont,
An smother her wild boulSther.

Perhaps a Little Previous.

From the Galveston Print.
Mr.. James p Newcomb has been appointed
postmaster at San Antonio. AS Buffers am
bition was to be chief executive of the COM
monwealth of Massachusetts,, so Newcomb's
great hankering was for the postofice at San
Antonio. Far be it from Tbs Print to draw
invidious comparison as to The holiness of
the ASPIRATIONS of these two distinguished
representatives of our modern civilization.
Suffice it that both have been gratifild, and
that the world moves along at about the same
pace as before. As brother journalist The
Print congratulates Colonel Newcomb on his
appointment, and, in the language of Rip
Van Wrinkle, may he live long and prosper.

Not "a Civilized Being.

From the Weekly Marlin Ball.
There is juror on Ben ThompSon's jury
at San Antonio who never heard of Thompson
or Harris, his victim, and has not read a
newspaper in ten years. A man who can, but
who has not read a newspaper in ten years is
not a civilized being, and should not be per-
mitted to sit in the jury box.

heartless than to advertise for boys indis-
criminately and have perhaps twenty or thirty
dead ones apply for the position only to be
disappointed.

Some sensible views on funeral
orations are entertained by the
Chinese. According to the London
Truth, if the Anamese Envoy, while
performing his official duties at tie
Chinese court, should happen to
die, several academicians are charg-
ed with the duty of celebrating his
virtues in funeral Grafton. This
action, however, instead of being
handed down to posterity as spec
linen of bombastic nonsense, is
placed in the defunct Enjoys cof-
fin and buried with him. Other
nations might a2opt, with advan
tage, this custom.
This custom must have inspired
Shakespeare to say that the good
which men do sis often inferred
with their bones"

A ISLANDER ON Nevada.

The Inter Ocean is responsible
for the following:
He was telling the story in the
billiard room of . Denver hotel.
Said he:
"There were three of us you see,
and Nevada was cold climate for
us. We were dead broke, half sta
we'd, and clear discouraged. when
along came q New Yorker. He
wouldn't play cards; wouldn't be
robbed, and we couldn't stick him
with forged land patients or bogus
prescriptions. One day We trailed
out and dug a hole into a hill and
sailed it bit, and rushed back and
offered the New Yorker the new
discovery for So 900 cash down
':And he bit?"
''Took right hold like pair of
pincers. Why, he never even stop
ned to beat us down. We go. o
cool thousand apiece and made for
Frisco"
''Purty cool that was"
''Well, I dunno. If there was
anything cool in that transaction,

ted up q pard, set miners to work,
bought machinery. and took over

tits . matter of regret to every
honest citizen, irrespective Of poll.
tics. that Mr.. Ernst was nonsuited
in his case against the San Fran
cisco Post. He aspired for an hon
orab,e Office, and going before the
people made fight for the posi-
ton. Just on the eve of election
an article appeared in the San Fran
cisco Post containing charges which
questioned his integrity as public
officer when in the Legislature.
These charges were not open and
direct but couched in that cowardly
inuendo which often times effect
work which where q fat-footed as.
sertion, which might easily be met
and proved, would fail. We do not
believe, however, that as last Falls
campaign went, that Ernst-run-
ming on such q handicapped ticket
as the Democrats put mp and which
was 80 mercilessly sacrificed by its
trading leaders-could have been
elected. The court he'd that the
mere supposition that the article
caused his defeat was not in itself
sufficient to establish claim for
damages, and the suit was dismiss
ed. Although this lis doubtless
good law there are thousands Of
men who have been made the vic

have seen this suit tried that the
methods of such o warfare might
be shown up. A judgment for the
plaintiff would have had o salutary
effect upon newspapers who are too
willing to circulate defanatory re-
ports about men whose only crime
simply consists in running on an
opposition ticket. Nevada politics
has been sadly corrupted with this
sort of work and fact no paper in
the State can truthfuIly say that il
has been altogether been void Of Of

article from the Post believing it to
be true. That it was untrue no one
Who knows Mr.. Ernst can doubt.

A Deadly Shot.

CHICAGO, Sept. Z.
Martin Roller, a German, aged about
thirty-one years, was shot through the heart
at Highland Park Wednesday night, The
facts in the ease are as follows: Fifteen or
twenty young men, including Roller, gath
cred at a barn in the rear of the seminary
for the purpose OF having a social talk and a
good time A keg of beer had been provided,
and after a time police officer named john
son made his appearance and broke up
the party, All proceeded 10 within about
ten yards of Kinney's store, when Roller
and the officer had some words; then the
latter drew his revolver and, without a
word, fired, killing Roller on the spot. In
mediately after firing the shot johnson ran,
and eluded his followers. The hunt was
kept up through the night, but without sue
cess.
Roller was teamster, and said to be a
quiet, industrious man, and it is claimed by
his friends that johnson had no prOyOcation
for the shooting. Roller leaves a wife and
child.

An Idiotic Scheme SnueInhad.

ERIE, Pa, Sept. I.
The national longevity scheme for pro
longing life on al economical and scientific
basis was nipped in the bud, Wednesday
afternoon, by Judge Galbraith, in the
Court of Common Pleas. who revoked the
charter and annulled the organization for
the reason that the great scheme, while
high sounding in its stated objects, was de-
void of practical and definite plans for.rais-
ing the average age of mankind, and that
although the officers OF the organization are
well-knOwn public men, the President being
the High Sheriff and the Treasurer the Col
lector of the port of Erie, there were good
reasons for believing that in the hands of
INSCRIPTIONS people who might in the
future obtain control, gigantic national
fraud might be perpetrated.

ROCKY MOUNT, Va, Sept :.
Tuesday night Russ Hall, young man
living near here, parted from his betrOthed,
Miss Fannie Hopkins, in anger, it is under
stood, from some trivial cause. The engage
ment was broken off. Wednesday afternoon
Miss Hopkins was walking with young man
at this place when she was espied by Hall.
He fell back from the path and simply
glanced at them. Cutting heavy club he
skuIked behind them until the young man
left the girl near her gate, Hall then rushed
upon her and felled her to the ground with
the club, terribly crushing in her skull and
otherwise injuring her as she lay on the
ground. She begged piteOusly for her life,
but her appeals seemed only to infurate
him the more, and he only stopped when
she was unable to cry any longer. She is
still lingering. Hall escaped.

may be to do so. These comparisons are
made simply as matter Of interest. Yet
we ought to pay high officials enough to
meet all the proper demands of life in
their positions, though it is curious fact
that inadequate as present salaries are
said to be- there is no difficulty in finding
any number of men willing and anxious
to take the places. 1t is, however fact
that if we carry the subject step farther
and make comparison between official
salaries and those in commercial life In
our country, we shall find the discrepan-
cies almost as great in some of the high
er grades. There are presidents OF insur
ance and railway companies who receive
salaries is great, or greater, than that OF
the President of she United States; and
in many other positions where integrity
and high order of ability is required,
much more is paid than for correspond
ing service under the government. But
when we come down to the lower grades,
such as clerkships, etc, which comprises
the great mass Of the 40 900 above re
ferred TO, we may find that salaries aver
age considerable better than in CONNER
cial positions; so that in the aggregate
Uncle Sam pays his servants as much as
or more than, the same number of men of
equal character and capacity could com
mand in salaries in any other walk of
life in this or any other country.

OUR n1scoRpANr REPUBLICANS

II there is small cloud of dissension
hanging over the democrats of Ohio it is
entirely apparent that their opponents are
much more Distracted. There are heart
burnings and coldncsscs on both sides.
The two most prominent figures in the
state in the republican ranks are John
Sherman and Gov. Foster Between these
there is a great gulf of dislike, if not
hatred. Sherman cannot forget the
treachery of Foster and Garfield when he
made his great and probably final effort
for presidential honors in 1880. He was
slain in the very house of his friends He
is himself provided for for some years
and probably finds it utterly impossible to
grow very enthusiastic in campaign,
whose fruits, if won. would mainly go to
those who trified with him in the day of
his greatest aspirations. Observant per
sons in all quarters of the country see the
state contest in Ohio in the obvious light
which history places it. The New York
Sun says;
Still, Mr. John Sherman has to talk.
His heart is not in his mouth, but he is
too eminent person to keep his mouth
closed and Ohio in suspense. Republican
senators are growing scarce. Republicans
are also growing scarce in Ohio 1t is
necessary for the patron of one of the
most thrifty of New York banks to do
all in his power to keep the government
in partnership with distinguished republi
can tinanciers Mr.. Sherman has talked
He has tried to define the difference be.
tween the democrats and republicans. His
talk is that the tariff is the issue which
divides them. Mr.. Sherman is a clever
man. He has made a great deal of
money. Apparently he has made so much
that he does not care for the party which
helped him to make it. If he did he
would look about till he found some small
foundation for the republicans and Mr..
Fosters Foraker to rest upon"
