KILLED IN FUN.

If the poor woman, Jenny Melon
aid, who was killed in fun in Candle
laria, had not been where the bullet
would strike her, her terror would
have been the occasion of much mirth
to the men who thought il funny to
fire into her house simply to brighten
her. There is brutal cruelty in that
kind of joking which deserves punish
ment, even if no bodily harm Is
inflicted. The men engaged in the
affair evidently did not intend TO com.
nit murder, but they did intend to
put woman into an agony Of terror
and enjoy hearty laugh at the misery
to which her fears would subject her.
Their act is but an aggravated type of
the class of jokes which have the
dangerous joke Of aiming an empty
gun at fellow creature as the parent
folly. Harm is never intended, but it
so frequently arises from this kind of
sport that there should be severe pen.
alties provided for those who take
delight in startling Others by pistol
playfnlness, and the penalties should
be strictly enforced. II is just as bad
to be killed in joke as though in a
quarrel, and that no harm was intended
is but slight palliation Of the oftense.

strangely Inconsistent in their practical
conduct. They claim to be opposed 10
the tyranny of English rule, and every
time they go to the polls they cast q
vote in favor of the English manufact-

by well,Known gunner OF the war

ingeniously arranged hammer, which
can be made to fall by polling string

used in discharging the piece. This
cannon was once the property of little

the celebrated Dalhgren gun. The
second piece was bought by Mrs.
Dalhgren the other day, but not until

Sulphurous Rain.
JUNIUS.

PRINCETON, KY, March 31.-This
section of country has been visited
for three successive nights by a sub
stance resembling sulphur, which
seems to fall between the showers,
and causes the superstitious to quake
with fear. They call il warming OF
what is to be, and fancy this sui
phur coating that will make the
world burn readily. The appearance
of the substance is exactly that of
sulphur, finely powdered. and it in
variably falls in circular splotches.
about ten inches in diameter. The
first shower that falls after it has
reached the ground melts it, upon
which 1t assumes the varied hues of
the rainbow, and the particles are UNI
distInguishable longer. In some in
stances the fall was so heavy that it
was possible to gather small hand
fuls of it, from planks and such places
as We're not too wet. The fall of this
peculiar stuff has been for three nights
last past, and is greater each night.
Upon being put under strong mag
infer the particles take the form of
seed, or perhaps between the form Of
seed and that of fish eggs, but are not
of uniform shape and seem to be con-
tinualIy dissolving. During the time
of the fall there has been but little
wind, and what is most phenomenal
about the matter is that it falls alto
gether at night. About fifteen miles
north of this place the fall was much
heavier than it was here.

vious Spring do / remember seeing
so many of them as this year. The
little fellows in certain portions of
the city are as thick as flies, and they
have appetltes like steerage passen-
gers after voyage across the Attain
tic. A week ago we fed delegation
of them with crumbs from a window
of our house. Since then they are
steady pensioners appearing regular
ly every morning, and even fighting
the cat who came to the front in the
hope of getting game lunch. At
the City Hall they have invaded a
spare room on the top floor and form
ed an encampment, and at the TOmbs
Prison they are so numerous that
they organize regular attacks on
Warden Firms pet pigeons, and the
pigeons get the worst Oft. They lit
orally own City Hall Park, and get
along famously with the boOtblacks
and gamins that abound there. AL
most every morning two or three
pairs of gentleman sparrows have a
pitched battle on the lawn on the
Broadway side of the Hall. A crowd
gathers at once, but it is hard to say
whether they are more interested IN
the tiny gladiators than the members
of their own families who perched
upon the branches of trees look. on
like cOnoisseurS, and occasionally turn
round to chatter as if they were wag-
ering seeds on the result. 1t struck
me the other morning that perhaps
Darwin got his idea of evolution from
a scene like this.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

NEW YORK, March Both, 1888.

-'AS' OANiNt 4tloiNiI QUILL, 1000
What has become of the Young
Democracy? 1t was very loud last
Fall in this State. 1t held meetings
and "resoluted" in grand style, but
it was the old Democratic story over
again. The youngsters never got any
further than the resolving part, des-
pite the fact that they had so called
candidates. After the action they
could not be found even among the
slain. The chances are that they
stayed behind with the quarter mas
ter's department. The Young De-
mocracy is now making itself very
conspicuous in Ohio, where it shrieks
that it is going to give the "moss-
backs'' like PendIeton and Thurman
setback. They take to snarline as
naturally as their elders.
The Sprague boom in Rhode Island
is petering out, even more rapidly
than it started and his heroic plan of
posing as an Ajax defying the light
ming will end in a farce. Rhode Is
land is a Republican State, and the
majority of her voters consist of men
who think and are not carried off by
any hurrah fever. The Sprague boom
will fare worse the farther it goes, and
all of Governor Buffers charlatanism
will not help it.
The most interesting event of the

A Memory of the War.

RICHMOND, VA. April 2.-The
Dispatch in lengthy article on the
eighteenth anniversary of the evacu-
alton of Richmond, recalls that MEM
orable event as follows: 1t was Sun
day morning, April 2. 1864 fair
spring day. The trees on the Capitol
Square were quickening from bud to
leaf. The church-belIs rang out their
mOnition to cease from labor and an
invitation to worshipers. Hundreds
of the women who entered the houses
of God were in black. Indeed, near
ly all wore black, and those who were
in mourning and those who were not
were only distinguished by some
bright trimming-a red band or gold
military braid on the dress or wraps
of such girls as had not been called
upon to moarn father or brother or
betrothed.
The men were nearly all in uni
form. They were regular officers and
soldiers of the post or from the lines
on leave, eonvalescents from the hos
pital of ChimboraZo, Howard's Grove
or Camps Jackson or Winder, or
members of the local brigade, organ
lied from the employees of the FIRE.

city who were either too young or
too old for regular service in the army
In the field. Hundreds of men walk
ed on cruthces f; many more carried
one or the other of their arms in
slings-signs of wounds received Ia
battle.
Though no record of the texts of
that day remains, it may be fairly in
ferred that the preachers besought
tire people to be courageous, to be
prayerful, to be submissive. 1t was
a time of great distress. The store
houses were nearly exhausted. The
raiders, by invading the country and
stealing horses and burning farm
houses and barns and carrying of
the only agricultural laborers 1.-THE
slaves, had put stop to production
while blockaded ports prevented help
from the outer world.
The army suffered for food, but in
the city the poor women and children,
deprived by the necessities of war oil
their natural protectors, and often
forced to call at "the CoiNmissary'
Sor help, suffered yet more. Confed-

SATURDAY. APRIL 7. 1888.

The New York Tribune criticizes
the action of the State Legislature in
apportioning the congressional dis
ericts in such manner as to secure an
increased Democratic representation
in the next Congress. It pronounces
it nothing more nor less than Dem
ocratic gerrymander, inasmuch as
many of the conceded Republican
districts have all the way from $4,000
to 10 900 more inhabitants than pre-
scribed by law, while all of the DEM
ocratic districts, with single excep-
ton, have less than the requisite
number.

The assassin Dukes sent letter to
Che speaker of the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives, on the 18th
ultimo, declining to occupy the seat
to which he had been elected by the
Democrats of Fayette county, and
requesting that the seat be declared
vacant. This request was granted.
This course ends the proceedings,
which, the public presumed, would
have taken place to eject him from
the body. The excitement continues
at Uniontown, and the community
are satisfied that his statements about
Miss Mutt were atrocious lies. How
soon or in what shape this general
Indignation will emphasize itself, no
one can tell.

The Independent Republicans of
New York are quite dissa tisfied with
the result of their efforts to improve
their party by helping to elect a
Bourbon Democratic Governor and a
hungry Democratic Legislature. All
the evils they complained of have
beenintensified and greatly magnified
by the party they helped to put in
power. And now they recognize the
value of reconciliation, and are striv-
ing to accomplish what should have
been done before they produced the
disaster. We believe they will sue
coed in uniting their broken front
and be ready for success when the
next battle comes on.

Winter Wheat.

CHICAGO, March 31.-Specials this
morning from the principal points of
the entire winter wheat growing Sec
ton are not encouraging, for the abun-
dant harvest claimed. The severe
and continuous cold is fatal to wheat
not covered with considerable snow.
Large areas, where the snow is light,
have been winter killed. There are,
few localities which might have es-
capped the winter, that are injured 5y
the fly.
In Ohio the outlook is declared en-
couraging. Good judges estimate the
crop will be 10 per cent of last year.
others think it will not exceed fifty.
In Illinois the prospects, in various
localities inspected, is generally dam
aged by the frost.
In some sections the injury is
slight. The loss is variously estima-
ted at from 10 to 80 per cent.
In Wisconsin considerable of the
crop of winter wheat is killed. Fa-
vorable weather is necessary to in
sure the remainder.
In Missouri, Kansas and Iowa the
returns are more favorable, especially
the Missouri reports are now very
encouraging.
The Pacific coast gives the fairest
estimate. The total wheat belt prom
ises IS per cent Of an average crop.

for the sum of $4,000. This was not

1t was speculation as it was bought TO

1t is understood that that transfer bv p.

go, and that there was sudden stonnaca
to it.
A good deal of curiosity has been ex.
pressed as to the reason why the transfers
made by various parties to the Northern
Pacific road have not gone on record. 1t
is understood that the papers have been
nearly completed, and that they will be all
finished and recorded sometime this week.
A marked popularity of the past week
has been the continuous demand for cheap
lots upon which to erect small houses for
workingmen and laborers. There seems
to be no end to this demand.
There is no doubt that the project of
constructing new hotel upon a large
scale is having the effect of holding back
sales of real estate, especially in lower
town, where it will undoubtedly be located
if built at all. A prominent real estate
dealer informed the writer yesterday that
he knew of 1926, 900 in cash that would so
into real estate the moment it was certain
ly and definitely fixed where the new hotel
was to be located. Those who hold real
estate in lower town do not want to sell
for the reason that the great bonanza may
hereafter be located close to
what they sell, while those
who have money to invest are holding off
to find out where the hotel is to be placed.
The consequence is that the uncertainty of
the location is serving to prevent transfers.
