HANGED FOR MURDER.

Burt Ellis, colored, was hanged at Shelby,
n. c., last Friday, for the murder of Mrs.
VIM. Logan, an old lady, who with her
husband lived in Cleveland county, n. c.,
just over the line between that county an
York, and near Whitaker Station. The
execution was public and was witnessed by
5000 people, On the scaffold Ellis made
full confession of the crime and said his
trial was fair and just and that it was only
right that he should be hanged. He was
willing to die and was confident that his
sins were pardoned and that he was going
straight to heaven. He spoke composedly
for about twenty minutes and warned the
crowd, especially his own race, to let whisky
and bad company alone.
To these faults, coupled with disobedi-
ence to his parents, he owed his downfall
and his end on the gallows. After bidding
all farewell, the black cap was adjusted and
an appropriate prayer was made by Rev.
Samuel Hunter, colored. The trap was
then sprung. At the expiration of twenty
minutes his pulse ceased to beat and the
body was cut down. The crowd that wit
messed the execution was very orderly. The
murder-full particulars of which we have
heretofore published-for which Ellis paid
the penalty, was committed on October 10Th.
Ellis went to VIM. Logan's house, bent on
robbery. He beat Mrs. Logan to death and
left her husband unconscious from choking.
He then covered both with cotton and set
fire to it. Logan regained consciousness;
and raised an alarm. Ellis was captured
next day and lodged in the Shelby Jail. He.
was tried November 10Th and sentenced to-
be hanged ut Shelby on December 14th

THE PUBLIC FREE SCHOOLS.


Col. A. Coward, State Superintendent of
Education, has presented to the General
Assembly his report Of the department of
education. From this report it appears
that the educational system Of the State is
in satisfactory condition, and the results
gratifying, which the superintendent as
cribes mainly to the wise and energetic
administration of his distinguished prede-
cessor.
Ina summary of reports from the vari-
Gus county school commissioners, the fol-
lowing is published from the commissioner
of York county:
We make no difference between male
and female teacher Of the same grade of
scholarship and other qualifications. The
public schools of York are in more flourish
ing condition than at any time previous.
The only recommendation which l desire
to make is that the school age be limited to
the years between six and sixteen, and that
some legislative action be taken to compel
parents and guardians to send their children
and wards to school for certain number of
months during that period. The funds fur
nished by the State are not sufficient to
support good schools, but do not see how
the funds can be increased. If every school
district were made corporate body, with
power to tax itself if it desired to do so,
then the funds might be so increased as to
meet the circumstances of the case. The
difficulty in the matter is that the property
is nearly all owned by the white race. To
avoid this difficulty, each race might be
granted the liberty of levying taxes for its
own exclusive USE This would not be class
legislation, since the State now makes pro-
vision for all irrespective of race or color.

a rrospsrous Chinese Physioian.
ialobo psnoorahl


A celebrity among the Chinese Of San
Francisco is their great doctor Ii 20
aai. He has been in this country near
" thirty years, and has larger income
from his profession than any practitioner
IN the city. His patients all come to
his office when able, and Ii Pc Tai sits
up habited in gorgeous silks and bro.
oades In little den OF IN office over
looking the plaza, and feels pulses all
day long. The patients are mostly
whito people, who come 10 him after a
varied round of their own physicians, or
al tho insiigation Of some OF his
resurected and enthusiastic patients.
Ii 20 Tai rests the patients elbow on q
blue silk cushion and proceeds to feel
their right pulse with his three hooked
and long-clawed fingers. He feels the
brain, stomach and kidneys, and
then grasps the left wrist to find
out about the heart, liver and lungs
Although he knows practically nothing
of anatomy as our physicians know it,
he makes wonderful diagnosis of n
ease. He charges $40 . week for his
services, including his medicines, and
patients either come to his Office aud
drink tho fisanes, or take the packages
Of mysterious stuff home and make
their own hot drinks.
Ii Po Tai has many notions that puz.
zie and interest his patients. He first
treats them 10 severe course OF anti
dotes for quinine poison, II they confess
to ever having taken that deadly drug.
He next commands them not to eat shell
tish or uncookcd fruit, TO let alone poul.
try, fried meats, eggs, watery vegetables,
all liquors, and everything sour. For
these thirty years Ii Po Tai has made
his patients drink hot water, and dys-
pepsia, cancer. and tumors are his speci-
alties. His income from his profession
is computed at more than $4,000 q month.

object Of great admiration by tue public.
The work has been done by Messrs.

In Eastlake style, and is fine exhibition
Of the talent Of the Messrs. Schroeder
1t must also be considered that 10 a
building like that of this banking house,
il ia not possible for a fresco artist to
elaborate any large and striking per-
spective designs, but he has to content
himself with but little perspective, which
must be heightened by intensity OF col
ors, and their delicate combinations, in
order to produce the most pleasing emo
lions. This result has been happily 40
complished by those excellent artists,
