A lively discussion has been lately
aroused in the pages OF several daily

Correspondents properly complain that 1t

lutely meaningless, and our ears are con-
stantly offended by such terms as ''sales-
lady" &C. The whole matter can be
easily settled. In the most refined
and intelligent portions of society, the
word lady is seldom if ever used, the
good old Saxon word woman being EN-.
ployed ms cad, and to hear persons speak
OF my lady or gentlemen friends"
rtamps them now quite as does the ex-
preston ''just elegant" The word "g-n,

above. One may say ga certain man is

A guf I'm Coal Denied,

New YoRK, Oct. ga prominent
dealer in the coal trade says the reduce
tion in the coal prices by the Delaware &
Hudson this morning amounts to nothing
If the other companies do not make
it pretext for general cut. How
ever, at this time of the year,
this ia not likely. The cut by
the Delaware Il Hudson only brings the
rates down to those which majority Of
the companies and private corporations
have been charging. President Thomas
Dickson of the Delaware Il Hudson
Canal Company has just issued
the following statement "There
Is no foundation whatever for
the report that the Delaware & Hud-
son company has reduced prices of coal,
and the report is probably due to the fact
that a number Of old contracts have
recently been filled at July prices. The
company has not even discussed reduc-
ton Of rates.''

Particulars have Just been received OF
a terrible tragedy which occurred near
Lampasss, Mexico, Wednesday week. The
wife OF Antonio Valdez, u thrifty rancher,
had been subjeet to epileptic fits, from
one of which she had just recovered and
her husband had fHNe out to look after
his shesp. He hsd sen gone but a short
time when his wife lose from her couch,
and with huge butcher knife, which
had been csrelessly left within her reach,
commenced terrible work OF destruction.
Her Oldest child, g sweet girl OF 10, was
first to fall victim to her maniac
mothers cruel blows, her head being ai-
most severed from her body. With that
method peculiar to insane persons she in
quick succession slew the other
children, hacking and stabbing
them in sickening manner.
The frantic woman, after the five bleed
ing little corpses lay at her feet, viewed
them with grim satisfaction, filling the
air with wild and weird EXPLANATIONS.
Suddenly, taking parting look at the
dead before her, she plunged the knife
into her own breast, reeled to corner
in the room and fell dead. During all
the time this fearful tragedy was being
enacted the serving woman, peon, WAS
powerless to prevent 1t from abject fear.
The husband was 5000 appraised of what
had happened and his lamentations wers
pitiable in the extreme and he could not
be consoled. In due time the neighbors
came and arrangements were made to
bury the dead. Six graves were dug and
the mkt morning the funeral rites were
performed.

DJrLOE DOMUM.

A camp of Blue, a camp of Gray,
A peaceful river rolled between,
We're pitched two rife-shots away.
The sun had set the west aglow,
The evening clouds were crips son snow
The twinkling camp. fires fAintly seen,
Across the dark'ning river.
Then fioated from the Federal band
The "Spangled Banners" starry strain,
The Grays struck up their "Dlxie Land"
And Rally Roundn and "Bonny Blue"
And RED and White" alternate flew;
All! no such flights shall cross again
The Rappahannock riveri
And then, above the glanclng '.beam
OF Song" a bugle warbleG. low,
Like some bird startled from dream,
"Home, Home, Sweet Home" and voices
rang,
And Gray and Blue harmonious sang
All other songs were like the SNOW
Among the pines when woods are stilled,
And hearts and voices throbbed and thrilled
With "Home, Sweet Home" forever.
No matter what the flag unfurled,
All, Dulce Domum rules the world
