that murders and crueties were committed near
Hui on the occasion of its capture by the French
sailors. Admiral Courbet directed official order
that there should be no quarter given to the men,
women or children. Three hundred families fleeing
to the bay Of Ihuan were all shot. One hundred
and fifty more drifting in junk without weapons
or oars were also massacred. The Figdr0 declares
that Admiral Courbet, at the instance Of Commis-
sioner Harmand, allowed the preparation OF such
acts in order to terrorze the Anamese. The
Temps denies that Admiral Courbet gave such or
ders but admits that 200 Of the enemy were killed

Excitement In Texas.

ST. LOUIS, October 29th.-The Post Dispatch
prints in very late edition special from Austin,
Texas, stating that intense excitement prevailed
there all last night and to-day, in consequence of
telegram received by Governor Ireland that 500
negroes were under arms in the town of Cause,
Milan county, and an outbreak mOmentarily
expected, and asking for immediate help. The late
decision in the civil rights bill is creating
very bad feeling among the negroes in various parts
of the State, and outbreaks have been looked for.
Governor Ireland Immediately issued proclama-
tion calling the militia to arms Two companies
mustered in here at once, and before midnight
last night over 10000 men at AUSTIN Houston Gal
weston and other places responded to the call and
troops stall awaiting orders at o'clock this after
noon. The precise nature of the trouble at Cause
cannot be asceytaiDed, but there seems 10 be no
doubt that disturbance of kind is in progress,
and Governor Ireland has ordered special military
train to be in readiness for Immediate use

The telegraph as a Nuisance.

from the Ceiesual Empire, Shanghai.
To old-fashioned people-and most people are
old-fashiOned nowadays-who have passed
Thackerays critical age of forty. the telegraph
Is an unmitigated nuisance. To begin with it
Is enormously expensive; it has added to every
firms expenditure constant drain of two to
ten thousand dollars year with no correspond
ing increase Of profits or commissions 1t wastes
time to an incredible extent; the cost of every
every word has induced the manufacture of the
most elaborate codes, In which the most impos-
sible words convey deeply involved sentences
As all languages are used in the compilation of
these codes, and as no telegraph line can pro-
vide all its assistants with an unlimited knowl-
edge of languages mistakes are frequent, and
the unfortunate recipient OF a message wastes
his time first in endeavoring to solve the riddle
presented by mistake Of say, two letters In an
Italian pluperfect. and then in asking for repe-
ton OF the unsOlyable proolem.
1t used to be one of the alterations of exile
that mails came in with the news with reasona-
bic regularity, and one knew when one would
hear from home, and when one would have to
write. Whatever one personal news there was
always batch OF newspapers to read and for
these at least one could greet with pleasure the
sound OF the mail guns. But the telegraph has
ruined this; there is no longer sequence or con-
tinuity in the news we get. What in the old
days would have been welcome as actual news
In the China Express now comes in little scraps
by Reuter- or by Indian papers, or from San
Francisco journals, or from Australian ex-
changes, and sometimes from all four; until all
our interest in 1t Is destroyed by the scrappy and
lncOnsequent form In which it reaches us. There
was was time when we could attentively fol-
low the progress of the training for the Oxford
and Cambridge, or of the betting for the Derby,
or of some great trial; but now we get the result
before we get the processes, and our intellect Is
as little satisfied as our stomach would be if we
were given a teaspOOnful of Liebig instead of
a well-served dinner. 1t was Artemus Ward who
said that it would be money in his pocket If Co
lumbus had never discovered America: certainly
life would be far better worth living ii scientists
had avoided the discovery Of the electric tele-
graph.

From the New York World IIth.
Chdren's Day exercises at the Fleet street
Methodist Episcopal church. Brooklyn, yester-
day afternoon, were OF an interesting nature
comprising singing, responsive reading, PRAYER
and an address by the Rev. J..Hyatt Smith, the
ex-Congressman. The pulpit was covered with
flowers, which were given by the children of the
school and which will be dstrib uted to-day
among the hospitals of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Smiths address was devoted chiefly TO
dudes He said that his experience in Sunday
schools had taught him to beware of Sabbath
school dudes. This created a laugh. Yes"
continued ne, ''you need not laugh / mean
dudes-d-u-d-e-s. Look out for the pions dude;
you will find him dangerous. He should be SUBJ
dued. (Here there was great commOtion,) A
dude is one of those fellows who comes to your
school to meet Miss Flora McFlimsy, and the
only way he can get into the school Ia by taking
a class. He is real live dude. daughter
Beware Of him; he don't know how to teach.
He will carry on filtration with a fair one
with auburn hair most OF the school session, in
stead of giving the water Of life to the thirsty
scholars"
Dudes are very impudent fellows, and de-
cidedly self-pOssessed creatures-if they can
be called that. II there was q general cOnfla-
grafton they would cOolly turn around be-
iieve, and light their nasty little cigarettes with
Mr.. Smith then went on to give his experi-
ence with dude In a hospital during the hate
war He could not do anything until Mr. Smith
told him if he didn't get right tout of that door
he would be booted out" Then he realized he
could do something, and he got out. Mr.. Smith
spoke of the benefits of contributing money for
missionary purposes. He wished he had as
much money as Vanderbilt. Oh, how much
happiness he could make! ''There," said he,
pulling roll Of bills from his pocket, sis $40

be my enemy ii I spend it for drink, and make
others drink the liquor it pays for. 1t can be
my friend if l give 1t for missionary pur-
poses for the preaching of the Gospel among the
heathens."
The money went back into the preachers poe
ket and the exercises closed with singing and
the benedictiOn.

In snowy attire entered and demanded whole
section. 1t was not to be had, and the o0nduc-
tor, brakeman, porter and cook, who seemed to
be Impressed with the new passengers import
ance, were all painfully exercised to know where
to put her. The cause Of all this cOmmotion was
very blonde, very large, very richly clothed. and
very swell. When 1t seemed impossible to get
her whole section. or even half one, she
turned to the young ladies and said: ''Win you
consent to take the upper berth Of your section
and let me have the lOwer?"
"SOrry we can't Oblige you" replied one of
the pink-cheeked fairies, ''but really we prefer
to keep the lower berth ourselves"
Then the big blonde Strengthened herself up,
threw inefable contempt and Importance into
her pale eyes, and said Perhaps you don't

Oval Versus Round Waists.
I,n


The more closely a woman can get her bust to
approximate to the shape OF peg-top the
prouder and happier she usually is. Why the
peg-top has attained to the high distinction OF
serving as model for woman is one of the many
puzzles connected with dress. The Creeks
who certainly knew something about the human
1orm-assigned to their ideal waist dimensions
quite intOlerable to an Englshwoman of to-day.
Moreover, they made it oval, whereas the mod
ern waist Is round. 1t is physiological fact
that there is about an oval waist delight
full suppleness and elasticity, while the round
waist so common at the present day is hard,
rigid, and unsympathetlc The fact is that
some women are blessed with waists naturally
small, and oval as every natural waist is, while
other women less favored by nature, are de-
termined to Guido the smallness at no matter
what cost. But no discriminating critic can
ever fail to perceive the difference between nat
ural and artificial smallness. Perhaps If this
were better understood. women would cease
to ruin their health and weaken the muscles of
their back by going about in ttght-ftting cut
rass even at the risk Of appearing to depart
cOnspicuously from women's ordinary dress.
THEY would then find that some other problems.
such as distribution Of weight, would settle
themselves without much difficulty.

A Dogs Tail as a telegraph.
From the Cornel C,1n


Last week, when student who rooms In one
Of the downtown blocks was coming out Of his
room, he was stopped by the excited tenant Of
the room next to his, who wanted to know If he
kept telegraphic instrument in his room. On
being answered in the negative the afore-men-
toned tenant became still more excited, and
told long story about hearing some one
telegraphing, apparently inside the wall.
He had noticed 1t several times, and, being
somewhat Of an operator, had even made
out to read parts of the message. but
could make no sense of them. as they were
evidently in cipher. Consequently he was be-
ginning to have visions of Internal machines.
and was scraping together In his memory the
various Irish agitators Of whom he had ex-
pressed an unfavOrable opinion. for the purpose
OF having them bound over to keep the peace
also, he was about to order coffin Immediately
in which to keep the pieces when the machine
went off, The student, when the man had got
far enough along in his story to propose a
visit to the nearest life-insurance office, re-
marked that there was only one explanation
for the curious phenomenon--his chum kept O
dog which was in the habit Of lying in the cor
ner of the room near the wall, and the wagging
of his tail against the foot-board probably pro-
duced the mysterious noise. The order for the
coffin has been cancelled and the insurance
agent has lost customer, while the badly
frightened tenant is cOngratulatng himself on
being the only telegraph operator who has ever
succeeded in reading the wagging of dogs
