Laredo tTexaO Special.

A gentleman just from Lampasas,
Mexico, gives, the full particulars Of
a most horrible tragedy that occurred
Wednesday near that place. Mrs.
Valdez killed her five children and
then herself during q fit Of insanity.
10 one of the large ranches about 70
miles TO the southwark Of Lampasas
there lived for four years past quiet,
we'll ,to-dO Mexican named Antonio
Valdez, whose family consisted Of
wife and FIVE children, the age Of the
eldest child being ten years, and Of the
youngest two years. The wife, who
vas about thirty years Of age, had
been subject to epileptie hts aud
spells Of melancholy Of long duration
Daring the last few months she has
exhibited many evidences Of insanity,
and when iu such mental alteration
Invariably sought to do violence 70 her
little ones.
Wednesday the woman was attacked
with ct Of unusual severity. When
she had recovered from her spasm her
husband went out TO herd q flock Of
sheep, belonging to the rancho. He
had been gone but q short time when
bis wife arose from her couch, and
With huge butoher-kniie that had
been elrelessly left within her reach
commenced Der terrible work Of de-
stFuetion. Her eldest child, q sweet
girl Of ten, was the first to fall vic
tin to her maniac mothers cruel
blows, her head being almost severed
from her body. With that method
peculiar to insane persons she 10 quick
succession slew the other children,
hacking and siabbing them in a sick
ening manner.
The frantic woman, after FIVE bleed
ing little eorpses lay at herfeet, viewed
them With grim satisfaction, filing the
air with wild and weird ordinations.
Suddenly, taking 3 parting look At the
dead before her, she plunged the knife
into her own breast, reeled 10 q corner
10 the room and fell dead. During all
the time this fearful tragedy was be-
ing enacted, a serving woman, a peon,
was powerless 70 prevent il from ab,
jeet fear. The husband was soon ap-
prised Of what had happened, and his
lamentations we're pitiAble in the ex,
IRENE, and be could not be consoled.
10 due time the neighbors came, and
speedy arrangements we're made to
bury the dead. Six graves Were dug,
aud the next morning the iuuerd rites
were periormed.

MIR. BRECnER ON DIvORCE
LAWS.
The Sanetity of the Family the
TT Hope Of the World.



Henry Ward Beecher was asked by
Tribune reporter on Monday even
ing for his views upon the subject OF
divorce aud the laws governing 1t. lie
pondered for moment, and then said
that he would want to look into the
subject somewhat and read up what
DR.. Woolsey had written upon It, and
give it careful consideration before
replying at length. He thought that
there we're more causes for divorce
than the Scriptural one Of adultery.
That was provided as protection for
women from mere caprice, In time
when a man had several wives, and Il
one displeased him in some trivial
thing he could give her writing OF
enforcement. :,
"Yet divorces should not be iacile, "
continued Mr.. Beecher withincreased
earnestness. The sanctity OF the
family is the hope Of the world. 1t Is
better that two should suffer through
life than that q too-easy door should
be opened for those led by passion OF
desiring license. The boys say on the
train, Chicago, thirty minutes for di-
vorcer IheArd that myself. In this
State q man can go and commit adul-
terry and with the witne sses secure 9
divorce, aud his wife will be free, and
maybe wish never to marry again.
But divorce should be granted on
other than the Scriptural ground
A woman ought not 10 be obliged 70
live with hog. Drunkenness ought
to be a cause. So, too, il man is no.
toriously corrupt in any way, or 1t be
is convicted Of any criminal jtfence.
But the causes should be very few,
Cruelty should be one, but not mere
failure to agree in temper. L.xity Of
divorce laws makes great evil.
"What doyou think Of the diversity
Of laws in different StatesY' was
asked.
There should be a uniform United
States law, if it we're possible" Mr.
Beecher replied. There ought moi
to be one law in one State and an.
other in another"
Did you observe in your journey
any social difference arising from free
dom Of divorced"
II did not at all. The matter never
came up. / observed more Of duplic'
ity Of marriages in Utah than | did o.
divorces.
"Some one says that 3 man who hai
three or four wives divorced one Aftel
the other only drives his team tan
dem, while the Mormon elder has |
four in hand" was suggested. Mr.
Beecher laughed heartily, and nodded
his head in assent, but made no com

sidered the subject more he would b
| glad to give his views in full.

The PendIetonn and IcIeans

The PendIetOns and McLeans,
Washington Special 10 the Nav York Sun.
As everybody knows. there is to be
a fight, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger says,
between Senator Pendleton aud Mr..
John Mclean this winter, and Wash
ington will be the field Of battle. The
fight will be carried on upon personal,
political, social, public aud private
grounds, and everybody is cordially
invited TO take hand. Mr.. Mclean
has taken q fine house here, and, with
the assistance Of his son-in-lAW ,Hszen,
will try to take the shine of Of Sena
tor Pendleton's Queen Anne style Of
living. II is well known that the Ohio
Senator is bland, passionate, and
deeply religious, and be may also be
able to paint in water cOlors, bat Mr..
John Mclean and his illustrious par
emit apparently have no respect for
Senator Pendle.ea's accomplishments,
and no delieacy 10 making their want
ofrespect known. In Washington Sen
ator Pendleton gets the creoit Of
being just a little timid about Mr..
Mclean, but now that Mr.. McLean
has cried havoc, and let slip
the dogs Of war, Senator Pendletdn
has braced up and defed Mr.. Mclean
TO knock him out in four rounds.
Senator Pendleton is more popular
here than Mr.. Mclean, and it cannot
be too strongly impressed upon peo-
pie who wish to know what Washing.
ton is really like that personal popu.
larity there has nothing to do with
distinguished position. There are
sevcntysseven men in this town Of
just as much consequence as Senator
Pendleton, and the local great man
comes here TO find the Washington
public scrutinizing and undazzled By
his Greatness. Senator Pendleton is
genuinely polite; Mrs. Pendleton at.
tends strictly TO her own business, and
has not tried TO play the part OF Nine.
Roland, mistake which many people
here make with disastrous results.
The McLesns are caddled with Gen.
llazen and the Signal Service fight,
and it was through the Mclean in
fluence that General Hazen made the
ridiculous request for an Investigation
before a Senate committee. General
Hlzen is a pompous parsonage, with
an enormous request for General
Hazen. So far is he from being in
league with the army ring, however
that they are all fighting him. Mr.
Mclean and Senator Pendleton, aitel
investigating each other in close
quarters, in Washington, last winter
clinched. Sometimes the Senator Il
