Scarcely any characteristic of the
German emperor is more marked than
his aversion TO capital punishment. In
the period from 1864 to 1873 only
twenty.six out Of 2lS capital sentences
were carried out, and during the next
decade, of 429 criminals condemned to
death, Hodel, the would-be assassin,
was the only one executed. During
the years 1879 and 1880 only one cap
ital sentence out of eighteen was exc
cuted, and there we're only four execu-
tions in each of the years 1881 and
1882. The almost invariable commute.
ton of the death sentence has been to
penal servitude for life.

Rumblings from Rugby.

The true friends of humanity will
rejoice with us to learn that the English
colony at Rugby, Tennessee, is in
fourishing condition. "Tom Brown"
Hughes, who is the founder and warm
patron of the once struggling colony; is
now satisfied with its progress and is
willing to endorse it as fact.
For q long time the poor colonists
endured the torrents of hades. They
are Englishmen OF culture and refine
ment, and at one period their supply of
Worcester sauce became exhausted and
their agonies were terrible to witness
But even this disaster was followed by
greater. This was the failure of
London Punch to arrive on time, and
it was, indeed, q gloomy outlook for the
struggling colonists, particularly as one
Of the ladies Of the party, nearly related
to the nobility, was bitten on the back
of the neck by a mosquito. Then, again,
the country was not favorable for the
playing af lawn tennis This, of course,
had a most depressing effect on the
pioneersin culture, high art and mutton
chop whiskers.
1t was also discovered that the quail
were not tame enough to be shot on the
ground. All this was, of course, dis
couraging to sportsman not accustomed
to shooting them on the wing, armstrong
men in English shooting jackets wept
at the heartless refusal of the vivacious
quails to remain on the ground long
enough to be shot in good old English
fashion. The plum pudding and all
gave out early in the summer. The
settlement was six miles distant from
the nearest saloon, and when they
reached it they were obliged to listen te
the shrill voice of Tennessee farmers
who absolutely refused to drop single
'haitch."
But now that the Rugby colony hal
met and valiantly overcome all thes'
obstacles it indicates that it has tn,
merit Of true grit, and we are hearth,
glad to know it. In the great future
this fact will be something to be prout
of aud something to which their chill
dren's children can point with glowing
pride.-7eras Sifttngs.

Heroes and Heroines Of the Border.

In American history there are no more in.
teresting figures than the Heroes and Hero
ines of the Border. Bold. dashing. adventu-
rous and PATRIOTIC loyal to friends. to country
and to the interests of society. their work was
singularly effective in the advancement or
American civilization. With seeming reck-
lessness, their efforts were in the interest of
law and order, and the people owe them
debt of gratitude they do not forget. Their
page in history is as fascinating as it is hon.
orable, and there is a peculiar pleasure in
reading the narrative of their wonderful ex-
ploits.
The times which produced those heroes and
heroines mark a period in American history OF
absorbing interest alike 10 old and young. 1t
is proper that it should be so. These hardy
pioneers coupled virtue with courage, human
ity and love Of country with the stern duties
OF frontier life and battle, and the example OF
their lives not only interests hut strengthens
our faith and admiration in human courage
and unselfsh purpose.
In American pioneer history there are three
distinct eras marked as distinctly by three
geographical divisions from the Allegheny
Mountains to the Mississippi, marking the
first; from the Mississippi to the Rocky Noun
tains the second; California and the Pacific
Slope the third. The settlement of these
vast gons developed great leaders, whose
ach vements have made them justly and
widely famous. They have warm place in
the | carts of the people, and prominent one
in their admiration. 1t is appropriate that
their achievements should be recorded, and
we note with pleasure the forthcoming of a
new book, now ready, from the press Of N, D.
thompson 4 Co., Publishers. New York and
St. Louis, Mo-. called: Conque,Tng the VII
dernesS, or New Pictorial History of the

| 1t is written by Col. Frank Triplett. an &C.
comrlished writer, whose literary qualifications
and great experience on the frontiers are said
to emnently fit him for so noble task
A special feature of the book is its apt and

CRAVINGS, illustrating incidents and persons
