Charles F. Freeman, the religious
fanatic of Pocasset, Mass, who, in
1879. slew his little daughter as sac
rifice to God, has teen pronounced
sane, and will now have to be tried
on the pending indictment for MUIR
der. He now says that he was insti-
gated by the devil, and his religious
belief is entirely overturned: Mrs.
Freeman, too, has renowned the Sec
ond Advent delusion, and feels more
keenly than does her husband the
terrible manner of her child's death.
The Attorney General will bring the
case to some final settlement before
the Supreme Court at Barnstable on
May 1. Freeman will probably be
acquitted on the ground of insanity,
or be allowed TO go on his own recog-
nizance.

Frightful Cyclone in Mississippi.

NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-The
Iinaes-Democrdt Wesson, Mississippi,
special says that a frightful cyclone
passed over WessOn and the town of
Beauregard, mile above, about four
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
wind for the past three days has been
blowing gale and lowering clouds
indicated a storm. Its approach was
known for some minutes by the deep
rumbling sounds; windows in dwell
ings shaking with violence. and many
people thought it was an earthquake.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed
with alarming force and vividness.
Fences were torn down. trees uproot-
ed and cast hundred yards away.
1t was awful in its character. AS
soon as the storm had somewhat
abated and the people began to look
about, loud peals of church bells were
rung out. People were seen running
in all directions toward west Wes-
son. The rain, meantime, was pour
ing in torrents. Reaching Beach Or
chard street.
An indescribable scene was Witness
ed. The street is lined with a large
number of houses, in which the ope-
ratives of the Mississippi mills are
d0miciled, and here the greatest des-
truction occurred. People were seen
on all sides sObbing, and the groans
of the wounded beneath the ruins
were perfectly appalling. Dwellings
were torn to atoms. The pine forest,
Just beyond. was blown out of exis.
tence. The work of removing the
dead and extricatlng the wounded
from the ruins has begun. CALVIN
Reed, living in the vicinity, died
from excitement. Drs. Sexton,
Rease and Butler were soon upon the
scene, and did all in their power to
relieve the suffering of the wounded.
It is estimated that the number of
killed is twelve. Two or three chill
dren are missing. One hundred and
fifty or two hundred dwellings are
blown down. The number of people
with broken limbs is estimated by
the physicians at seventy-five- The
wounded were removed as fast as
possible to the houses which escaped
injury. Several dead lay out in the
violent rain for more than an hour
after the storm. The dead are now
all laid out. and coffins are being
made for them. The mills Will mol
run to-day.

1.-THE Original Sick Man"

Some writer has not inaptly term
ed the Maryland Democracy "the
original sick man" and doctors are
springing up every day in the week
who think their own way the only
way in which the patient can be saw
ed. The Washington ID. C,l Post,
in an editorial on the maryland De-
moeracy," tells its friends some plain
truths in the following:
"When party is compelled to face
the fear of defeat it tries, by judiciOus
management, to increase its chances
of success. 1t is careful to make no
mistakes, or, at least, as few mistakes
as possible, 1t selects good men for
office, and it discharges its public
duties with such fidelity as to win
public approval and make no capital
for the other side. Knowing that a
few changes in each township will
bring in the opposition, the dominant
party is always inquiring what it
must do to be saved from defeat.
Thus the necessity for two parties is
vindicated. the minority serving as a
wholesome stimulant to the majority,
always admonishing it that faithful
continuance in we'll doing is the only
way in which it can hope to hold on
to power. But when party has a
broad margin for speculative purpose
when it is very strong and its oppO-
nent very weak, it is apt to become
reckless. Its leaders are as likely to
fall out with each other as to unite
in earnest efforts for the general good.
The spoiIs become more important
than principles. The primaries fall
into bad hands. Important local of
fees are grasped by greedy self seek
ers, and public duties are discharged
on the theory that official positions
are personal perqrisites rather than
public trusts. 1t has been painfully
evident for a time that the Demo.
Gratis of Maryland were not taking a
correct count of the strength of the
opposition that long series of east
ly-won victories had exerted a de-
moralizing influence; that there was
less than there should have been to
hold the party compact and disarm
the opposition by wisdom in council
and harmony in action that disinteg
ration had begun on the edges and
was slowly working inward"

SWindling Pension Agents.

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
Commissioner of Pensions has issued
circular, stating that numerous COM
plants have reached his Office that
INSCRIPTIONS persons are travelling
throughout the country claiming that
they are authorized to represent the
Commissioner of Pensions, and upon
this and various pretexts have de-
frauded pensioners and applicants for
pensions. The commissioner directs
that all special examiners shall give
notice that no special examiner or
other person employed by the Pen
sion Office is authorized to receive
money either as fee or expenses, and
all such examiners are provided with
certificates bearing the signature OF
the Commissioner of Pensions and
the Secretary of the Interior. There
fore, if any person, in the absence of
such authority, should represent that
he is a special examiner OF the Pen
sion Office, or shall demand or obtain
money under any pretence whatever.
he may be safely set down as fraud
and swindler. and among the worst
of his class. Commissioners Dudley
states that it is his earnest desire that
prompt and vigorous measures be-
taken to bring these offenders to jus.
tice, and says that in order that this
class of impostors may be published
as widely as possible, each case of de-
frauding claimants or pensioners
should be reported by some response
bile person, with full description of
the impostor, to the Commissioner
of Pensions, who will at once instruct
his special examiners to give the pub
lie proper warning.

Training Children.

The grand blunder which almost
all parents and nursemaids commit is
that when the child takes within
against doing what he is wanted to
do-will not eat his bread and butter,
will not go out, will not come to his
lessons, etc..-they so to speak, lay
hold of his hind leg and drag him to
his duties whereas, person of tact
will almost always distract the child's
attention from its own obstinacy, and
in few minutes lead it gently round
to submission. We know that many
persons would think it wrong not to
break down the child's selfwill by
main force, to come to battle with
him and show him that he is the
weaker vessel but our conviction is
that such struggles only tend to make
his self-will more robust. If you can
skillfully contrive to delay the dis
pute for a few minutes and get his
thoughts off the excitement of the
contest, ten to one he will give in
quite cheerfully ; and this is far bet
ter for him than tears and punish
ment.

turn of a card. 1t was magnificently
furnished. There was nothing gaudy
about it, but every article in the
rooms down to the very cuspadores
showed taste and refinement.
In the PALMER days they used to
sci table for guests. where the
choicest delicacies of the season In
the shape of game. vegetables and
fruit were served. Latterly however,
nothing but a sideboard was kept.
and there sable attendent dispensed
wines or liquor to whoever desired
refreshments. 1t was established by
man named Beers. He was bred
gentleman and so far as honesty was
concerned was unimpeachabIe. His
manners were perfect. and his con-
duct eminently proper. He was
strict Episcopaliau. His wife was an
equally good Catholic. They had
family of interesting children, who
were christened in the Catholic faith
by very prominent clergyman. He
was a great friend of the family, and
used frequently to take tea with them
in the evening. What a queer con-
trast! Down stairs the fierce strug-
gle with the tiger, where men with
blanched faces, and feverish eyes
watched the rolling of the ivory bail
on the roulette wheel, or the method
zeal shuttle of the faro dealer, and up
stairs, where the family resided,
peaceful conversation tempered with
religious discussions, with a learned,
gentlemanly and pious priest to pre-
side.

for the west. AS the train moved out
he saw a procession of ladies headed
towards his Office, and he bribed the
conductor to hurry. The conductor says
he got off forty miles west, and said he
was looking for tree claim, His wife
will not follow him, because she was on
the excursion, and wore a sack of the
dainticst description, and she is just as

editor to do is to be born again and try
