The killing last Saturday of J. Lare
Borden, President of Mansfield, Louis
lana, College, by the Rev. Benjamin Jen
kins. will naturally excite mingled hor-
ror and surprise. 1t is not every day
that a college president Is killed by a
minister Of the gospel. 1t is the same
old story Of a wronged woman, and the
chivalric next friend who appears in the
role of avenger and sends the soul of a
tellow.being headlong in eternity. The
Rev. Mr.. jenkins will tell his story and
be acquitted. but is it n It about time to
call a halt in this promiscuous slaughter
which seems to be confined 20 no one
section and to no particular class of So
ciety? Perhaps we cannot stop the evil
10 the present generation, but it may be
materially checked In the next, if pa
rents will take better care of their daugb-
tiers aud sons. Our young people are
growing up with too little attention paid
10 their moral education, and with a
thousand times too much freedoms allow
ed them in everything. Tbs Is the ex
planation Of the epidemic of arime nov

A Subj set in Which Many Young
People are Deeply Interested.

LAS to the age when people should
marry said the Rev. DIR. Mckendree
in his sermon last evening in the Bed
ford Street Methodist Church, 1.-THE lad,
should, in my opinion, be twenty or
twenty-five, and the gentleman five
years her senior. Poor men cannot
marry eNtravagant girls, who expect as
good a home as their parents were only
able to acquire after many years toll.
The deceit practiced on both sides is
very great. The ugly sutton gets a tailor
to hide his deficiencies the unsi.htly
maiden calls in the aid of her rouge pot
and m%illiner. Until recently marriage
brokerage was carried on in France.
We Americans are guilty of the same
thing in another way. Mothers sell
daughters to the highest bidders and
daughters sell themselves for gold to
men old enough 10 be their ~grandfath-
er.. Such women would no more choose
honest mechanics for husbands than
they would convicts from the peniten-
tiary. There is no reason why women
should not choose as well as men. At
present the men have all the advantage.
No girl is tit to be a wife till she can, if
necessary, Dol a meal. make a dress
and keep a house in order. Accom-
plishment are good, but a tired husband
would much prefer a good square meal.
All matches that are brought about ly
selfish motives are unholy, and woman
Who marry for position or wealth are
just as guilty as those who sell their
virtue for a given sum. They are, in
fact, living a life of legalized prostitu-
ton. Marriages in which there is no
adoption are unlawful. As oil and
water will not unite without alkaline,
so many a couple are united by means
gold. Such artiticially made matches
are often broken. You may force alco-
hol and ~gum-camphor to blend, but at
presence Of water the alcohol elopes
and leaves the camphor a grass widow,
In like manner a third party often
steps in between a badly assorted pair,
with what result can be easily seen.
None but those who have been united
through pure motives and deep. abiding
love. have fulfilled the conditions under
which a man and a oma NAV really

THE HALT.

Our hating place was the small vii
lage of Panarani, a long line of huts
with bamboo walls, bamboo floors and
palm leaf roofs, inhabited chiefly by
fowls, feas and mosquitoes. Every hut
had its rum cask on tap and was filled
with packs of sailed hides, which mala
xas,a po-ters were carrying from the cap
ltal to Iomatave. This trade is rapidly
increasing 1t already amounts to 100,
600 hides annually, and throughout our
Journey W. constantly met long lines Of
heavily laden bearers. The villagers on
the road made a good thing of the traf-
tic. and hence the numerous rum casks.
We so"n secured a hut, which our phil
anzans, our baggage. our servants and
ourselves, assisted by a large detachment
of fowls from the ~neighboring street filled

Remarks I'm Relation 20 the Recent
Trial and Verdict.

The Towpath Republican Club, colorcd
organization, preceded by brass band,
called at the house of ex-senator Dorsey, on
X street, last night, and rendered him
serenade. Mr.. d. w. Lewis made speech,
in which he said the colored people of this
District, and, In fact, of the whole country,
believed implicitly in the innocence of the
late defendants in the Star Route trial.
The ex-senator was loudly called for, and
said: 81 thank you for the courage you
have shown in the presence of all the
disnonor that the Government has tried
to put upon me. You are brave enough,
you are strong enough to raise up
your voice and your right hand
against the attempted injustice. / thank
you for the courage that you have shown.
/ thank you for the pluck that men like
you can show looking in the face of power"
Mr.. Dorsey said that the verdict had shown
that "there was not Government large
enough that there was not public Treas
ury fruitful enough; that there was not
executive power enough to seduce the
judgment of twelve honest men. l don't
care about myself. 1t is q matter of little

1t is q matter of great consequence whether
there is any Government powerful enough
or whether there is any treasury full
enough to break down citizen, however
humble.n
Judge Carpenter followed Senator Dor
sey in short speech, in which he paid his
respects in no unmeasured terms to the
course pursued by the Administration in
its persecution Of innocent men. The sere-
naders were invited in and partook of re-
freshments. The club, headed by the band,
also called at Colonel Ingersoll's residence
and treated him to some fine music. The
Colonel made short but telling speech in
