O'Donnell, the Avenger.

O'Donnell was brought into court at
London. Friday, under a strong guard. A
son of Carey was cross-examined. He
stated O'Donnell was sitting when he fred
the first shot ut his father, and that his
father did not grapple with O'Donnell. He
admitted he might have testified when I'M

was closely pressed by his cross &c Examiner,
when he said he was not quite clear what
were the words really used by O'Donnell.
Mrs. Carey, widow of the murdered in

mourning and excited special interest of the

A Richmond (Va.) special says: r.
King, J. Evans and C. Pounger, negroes,
were hanged at Catham Friday at noon. A
few days ago King and Evans sold their
bodies to the doctors for $40. Younger re-
fused to sell his, saying $40 was too cheap,
King and Evans, when they got their money,
gave fine dinner to their friends. Calves
head, roast pig and roast beef was the first
course, and this was wound up with wines
and cigars. The condemned men confessed
the crime at the banquet and afterward re-
canted. They then confessed again. The
execution was private in Jail.
Frank r. Sherwin, the millionaire
owner of one of the largest cattle ranches in
New Mexico, was arrested in Chicago
Thursday on requisition from New York,
but the arrest was kept secret, when he
came before the circuit court on a writ of
habeas corpus, alleging that he was detained
without authority of the law and for sup
posed criminal matter, the, mature of which he
did not know andlof which the police''author-
tiles refused to inform him. On this he was
released, but rearrested by Pinkerton. He
again applied for writ of habeas corpus,
which is still pending. The facts, as nearly
as can be learned here, seems to be as fol-
lows: In 1878, Sherwin, then banker
in Albany, refused to testify
against Charles Phelps, cashier
In the state treasury depart
ment. Phelps was afterward convicted Of
larceny, forgery and grand larceny, and
sentenced to three terms Of five years each
in the Albany penitentiary. For refusal to
testify six indictments were subsequently
found against Sherwin for contempt of
court. The prosecution failed at the time
and Sherwin entered the stock business in
New Mexico. New evidence was discov-
cred, and in 1882, when on a visit east, he
was arrested and gave bonds. Since then
his bondsmen became alarmed and put de-
tectives on his track. When arrested he
was on Ills way east with his family, travel
ing in princely style, and not suspecting that
he was wanted.

POLITICAL HoNoRs IN CHINA.


In order to secure even the first fruits
ofpoitical emolument, mode OF pro-
cedure Numerically opposite to that
which3obtains in most nations, and es-
pecially in the United States, is re-
quired. Instead of money or its equiv
alent in " hackers and I" heelers, .
brain is there required, and an exceed
ingly well-balanced and disciplined
brain at that. In no other nation upon
the earth are political honors based upon
scientific attainments in all branches of
study asithey are in China, wherein are
illustrated the true principles by which
talent aud wisdom are honored and re-
warded, literature, science, morals and
philosophy encouraged, and national
happiness and prosperity secured.
The avenues to station and power are
open alike to all. There are no distinc-
tions save those of ofeducation; none rela-
live to nationality, color, or previous
condition Of servitude. All are alike
free to seek, and, if competent, to OBJ
tain, positions OF honor, from that of
petty magistrate of q village to grand
imperial secretary Office second only
to that of emperor.
Few there are. it is true, who possess
the fortitude to undergo the necessary
educational training consequent to, and
upon which depends, his sole hope Of
success. OF his studies there is no end.
10 diligence he must add patience, and
to patience continuity, else will he fail to
secure the coveted prize.

MILK AND TOMATOES.

About year ago Gen. Robert @.
Schenck was said to be dying of Bright's
disease. The physicians said so, gave
him up, aud the people of the country
IN which he has been SO long and often
honored got ready to receive. the an
nouncement of his death. But the gem
eral is stillaliye to point his finger at
the doctors; not only alive, but in good
health, having quite got the better of
the fearful disease that was wasting him
away. Tho change in condition was
simply the effect of n change Of diet.
He had beena generous liver. He came
down to milk and tomatoes. He ate
nothing else for yenr. Now he is all
right again, and may eat of whatsoever
pleaseth him with impnnity. There are
men whowill need the full expression of
the moral this experience implies. Such
men are fit to die of Bright's disease.
But 1t seems, after all, that half the ills
that flesh is heir to may be ayerted by
adopting proper regimen. The char
acter of food we take and the manner in
which we take it are the prime causes of
many of the worst disorders from which
men suffer. Dieting is too little under
stood. There is not enough attention
given to the choice Of foods and the care
OF cooking. Let the stomach be right
ly attended to, and the brain and othe
vital functions in which diseases lodge
will have less room to harbor the vagrant
enemies of life and sweet content.

NEW STATES.

Dakota is not to be alone in demand
ng admission to the union. Utah has
claims as of old. Theissue is the immem-
oriol question of polygamy. Itis certain
that, should the territory ask admission
next winter, congress will not accede to
the demand unless the abolition of poly
gamy be made condition. To meet
this obstacle the Mormons propose to
acquiesce by adopting, as the central
principle Of the new constitution of the
proposed state, complete prohibition
of polygamous marriage. When the ter
ritory becomes state the United States
will have no power to enforce this pro-
hibition, and the state government will
be able to ayade it with impunity. It
would be equally easy for Utah to repeal
and amend her constitution after her ad-
mission, and SO defeat the expectation
of stamping out her favorite social in
stitution. 1t is safe to expect that Utah
will not become state, even by the aid
of democratic votes in congress, until
the constitution of the United States
contains a prohibition of polygamy under
which congress can act effectively in
snppressing polygamy in any part Of the
union.

The Cure of Consumption.

DIR. Felix Oswald says that consump-
ton is more easily cured than any other
chronic disease. The population living
at an elevation,of 1000 feet above the
sea level have been shown to be quite
free from consumption. What the doc.
tor calls indigestion Of respiration" is
bred by humid climates and stagnant
air. He believes in the theory OF the
German DR.. Koch that parasites are
phase of the disease, but maintains that
their appearance does not amount to a
death sentence. "Cease to feed the
lungs with azotic gasses, he says "and
DIR. koch's animalcula will starve and
disappear He claims that all except
the last stages of consumption can be
subdued by outdoor exercise. He con-
demns the night air superstitions, and
recommends mountain excursions, even
to the extent of three months tour un.
derthe disadvantages ofinsufficient cloth
ing and protracted fasts, rs certain to
effect cure in majority of cases. He
points out malnutrition of the lungs as
one OF the primary causes of consump-
ton, and suggests fatty substances and
sweet cream as the best lung food. A
vocal effort, he says, does not injrIre the
respiratory organs; on the contrary il
strengthens them, and he thinks that
consumpt,ves should envy cattle.driyers
"whose business gives them plausi-
Lle pretext for yelling" Too many
clothes he considers hurtful, whereby
the perspiration is forced back upon the
body, and tue lungs have to do double
work

IsingIass in the Tops Of Straw Hats.

After years Of search, Boston man
has discovered that mica, known to
science as muscoyite, and commonly
called isinglass, possesses properties
which 20 nearly renders it imperyious to
heat rs to place it far in advance of every
other known material which has ever
been used for such purpose. The
method is adopted by placing in the
crown of the hat a sheet of mica from
three to six inches in diameter and vari.
ously shaped according to the fancy of
the manufacturer, of the form and style
of the trade mark over which it forms a
transparent shield. It can readily be
seen that the mica serves three very i'm
portant and appreciable uses, as it pro-
tects the silk lining from contact with
pomade (and pcrspiration if no cos
metique is used), protects the ornamen-
tai trade mark from designation, and
serves as preventive against sunstroke.
That the mica tips impart beau5y of
finish TO the fashionable hats is by no
means disadvantage, and the fact that
arrangements are already concluded by
which these tips will be placed in half a
million straw hats during the coming
season is evidence of the value aud
utility of the invention, which can be ap-
Piled at q slightly increased cost.

BETTING ON BOOSTERS,

For ages mankind has been endeavor-
ing to exhaust the possibilities of fchance,
but rs yet without success. The latest
new venture in this field is the inaugu-
ration of growing match between
selected roosters, which are now in
training for the contest. The deyotees
OF this new and entertaining sport are
already divided into two parties; the
one favoring speed, the other loudness.
The former are confident that the
ROSTERS can be trained to crow forty
times a minute, but the latter, believing
30 great a speed inconsistent with the
really valuable oath provoking quality
of the crow, are wisely limiting the
speed to ten crows minute, trusting
discriminating judges will favor sound
rather than speed, and will adjudge the
prize to the cock that can give the loud
est, longest and most ear-splittipg crow
without himself falling dead on ihe
SpOt.
