MI. Editor: I beg space in the

the voters of Virginia for having

and more tyrannical than the EN-
peror of all the Russias toward THO

ever ready TO- saesze whenever he

party Of the South to. extend to it

all the influence at its command

The Arthur administration
sought to make the term South
ern Republican q reproach--and
to belittle the entire party by CIV
ing preference and license to the
little political policy mountebank
of Virginia who, with his hench-
men, combined to terrorize and
bulldoze every man in the State
who had the courage to express
his opinion. The Negro will lose
nothing by Mahones' defeat, it is
the best thing for that State in
years. OF course the readjusters
who are hanging on to the tail of
despair willnot concur in thisyiew.
In some parts of the State the
name of Malone was synonymous
with Jesus Christ, land | mean no
s~acrilege). lie had the Negroes of
the State worked up to q white
heat and to speak disparagingly
of the Boss subjected the offender
to serious consequences.

as the advance couriers of his dem

''Best laid plans of mice and men
Gan. aft aglte,"
The defeat of Mr.. Malone not on
ly affects Mr.. Arthurs' chances
for reelection, but the chances of
Mr.. George g. Gorham-on whom
Malone had a chattel mortgage,
brains and all. Mr.. Gorham has
gone out of his way on more than
one occasion to ridicule both col
orel and white republicans who OPP
posed the deep.dyed and Infamous
methods of the ninety-pound hero
of the "lost cause" There is a
splendid opportunity for Mr.. Cor
ham to renew his covenant and to
re-afirm his allegiance to the Re
publican party. As for Malone,
his times up; the Democrats may
open their heart and "turn the ras-
cal in" after giving him q good
spanking for shifting off more than
he could chaw." As a second hand
republican he won't do-he is too

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.-Hog Chuck,
a Chinaman who diod in the Aims House
on Wednesday lasy, was buried to-day
with interesting ceremonies. The body
was incased in a handsome walnut cas-
ket, with a plate on the lid bearing the
date of the birth and death of the dead
Celestial. The bottom of the casket was
tlled with Chinese coins, and the body
was covered with a peculiar Chinese
perforated paper with lettering on it. At
the grave Rev. MIR. Lyle repeated the
Lords prayer in Chinese and English, af-
ter which number ofribbons which were
bound about the body were removed and
thrown upon the coffin. The casket was
then lowered, and while the gravel was
being shOveled upon it the Celestals cast
meats, rice, tea, baked dough, roast
chicken and q black bottle
among the dirt. On the way
to the grave Cinnamon seated beside
driver threw rice and paper along the
ground traversed. Ten thousand people
witnessed the ceremonies at the grave.
1t was intended to have had some SER
vice in the Episcopal Church, but the
crowd was so great that it was impOssi-
bic to get into the church Mayor King
refused to allow a New York Chinese
band TO go in the procession, and the
police stopped the fire ceremonies in front
of the house from which the deceased
was taken to his grave. Nearly all of the
Chinese in the city attended the funeral.

| saw the inventor of a new tvpe-settinp
machine at the United States YESTERDAY.
l did not see his machine, but if what he
claims for it is true the day of the printer
is drawing to a close. 1t is one OF the
maryels OF the time. 1t will further help
the cheapening of the price of newspa-
pers. His machine has the capacity
of setting 10000 ems a dav. Ii
works with irOn-clad accuracy. and
avoids the fault Of the present type-setting
machine in that it can Justify the lines as
compositOr can now with the hand
method. No type p necessary with this
machine, beyond few alphabets of the
various kinds and sizes required in the
makeup of a newspaper. There is a key
board to the machine like that of piano.
These keys represent letters and punctu-
alton marks. Playing on them impresses
these forms into a paper matriX similar
to that now employed in moulding the
metal forms employed upon the Bullock
press. Instead of setting up type by the
old method and taking a matriX from the
locked form as a whole, the impression is
made direct from the machine one letter at
a time, so that when the type-setting ma
chine is through, the matriX is instantly
ready for the moulding of the cylindrical
forms employed upon the modern press.
The value OF this one feature in the mere
saving OF time is great, because the gain
OF one minute in the stereOtyping of the
forms of great office is of much value.
These machines are being experimental
with in the office of the Philadelphia
Times. The inventor says the machines
can be furnished at cost of 500 each. If
they are practical and can do all that is
claimed for them the future newspaper
proprietor will be able to bid defiance to
strikes and unions.

One Death al Pensacola and Many Still
Dying in Mexico.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 30.-Second Off
Ger Graham, of the steamer Newbern, from
Guaymas, died of yellow fever yesterday
after reaching this harbor. The Captain
stated that the disease developed itself
after the vessel left Guaymas. Doubts at
first existed as to the character of the
fever, but when the black vOmit mani
tested itself he was satisfied that it was
yellow fever. The Second officer was the
first to Succumb, and since his death the
Newbern has signalled another death,
and still another case is mOmentarily eX-
pected to terminate fatally. Measures
were promptly taken to give the steamer
thorough fumigation. As the vessel is
lying out in the stream with full
exposure to wind and rain, which began
falling in the afternoon. if is believed and
hoped that the city and surrounding
localities will escape from the disease.
1t is impossible to deny that the present
season of the year is unfortunately a
most favorable one for an epidemic. The
heat is greater, trade winds die away. and
sewers are in filthy condition.
Consul Willard, writing from Quay
mas under date of September -, to Cap
tain Birmingham, of the Ocean Steamship
Company in this city, says that the yellow
fever at that point has considerably
abated. Two hundred persons had died, but
none of them were of prominence, except
Mr.. Alsur, the owner Of the Trinidad
mine. The Sonora Railroad Company
had lost eighteen men, including the
cashier and two telegraph operators.
According to Consul Wizards estimate,
fully twO-thirds Of the entire population
of that city have had the fever. and not
even one of the doctors had escaped. The
latter, however, had all recovered.

day or two ago | read an account of some

hold. They got some ladies to try the
plan and nearly half the number recover
ed. attribute the good health ofmy wife to
the same practice. When married her she
was delicate, but now she tips the beam
at .1S7, the gain being the result of her
efforts with cOrnet. She has been play
ing for thirteen years, but can't make
good music, simply because she has no
musical talent. 1t is amusing to see
woman learning. How she draws long
breaths and putfs out her cheeks, and
blows and blows as if she were a bellows
in a blacksmith shop and the fate Of the
world depended on her getting the fire
glowing. They'll take a cOrnet, for in
stance, an instrument difficult to handle
properly, and exhaust all their breath at
a squirt, then gradually rise to the tips Of
their toes while eleYating the cOrnet above
their heads, looking for all the world as if
they were trying to force wind from their

A BATTLE WITH MURDERERs.
One of Them Killed and the Other Can
tured by the Sherifss Posse.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 30.-A special
from Eloa says: "Lane, who murdered
McNeely at Haynes plantation, near
opelousas few days ago, and his accom-
plice and companion named Brown, were
apprehended by Sheriff DusOn and two
deputies yesterday on the north sideapf
the Red river, 40 miles from here. When
commanded to surrender they opened fire
and desperate hand to hand conflict
ensued. The Sheriff and posse were at a
disadvantage, being on unruIy horses
and their assailants were behind
pine trees. Lane was shot through
the breast by Sheriff Duson and
Brown was shot in the right hand
while in the act of firing at the Sheriff.
He changed his pistol to his left hand,
and continued firing, but finally surrcn-
dered. Lane, after being wounded. as he
fell, grasped Il handful Of cartridges and
attempted to load. He lived but five
minutes. The Sheriff asked him why he
murdered poor old McNeely. He replied:
"He ordered me out Of the sugar house
and cursed memo man does that and
lives" Brown will be taken to OpelOu-
sas, his wounds not being dangerous.
The Sheriff was struck in the forehead by
spent ball, and bail passed through
his clothing
