Carey couldn't stand that. She flew
at me and shook me, exclaiming:
"Gou are mean and hardhearted and
cold-blooded, too"
81 am very sorry" said l, picking
myself up and fishing my hat out OF the
coal scuttle; "but couldn't know YOU
were doing tdJleour riudnts; and, be-
side, you really ought not to-"
Here, to increase my astonishment,
she threw her arms around me and
kissed me; and when she let me 90 !
saw there were tears in her eyes.

often do it again, only you're not to
come into rooms so suddenly. He, 0he

"Was that fond farewell ?" said |,
my bewilderment, suppose, appearing
in my face; for Carey, putting her two
hands-such pretty, little, soft, white
hands-over my eyes, said
"You mustn't look at me like that )"
and added very softly, "I am going too,
dear"
"What did you say about p. A. C.'s?
and didn't you always tell me you had
no heart and thought nothing short of
a title would content you," said l, Sc
verely.
To which she made answer:
ale won't be p. A. c.; and of
course one talks like that, but one
doesn't mean it; and l haven't heart,
for I've gone and given it away, and |
think it's very good match indeedr'
Having wound up her sentimental
speech with this astonishing fib, she
settled herself at my feet, and we had a
long explanatory conversation, at the
end of which she promised me voluntar-
lily to give up her evil practices in the
way of flirting-a promise, l am bound
to say, she has, to the best of my knowl-
edge, faithfully kept.
There is little more to be told. Carey
being a spoilt darling at home, OF course
got her own foolish way. And the
match was not such bad one after all,
for the Indian appointment was very
good one, and Mr.. Lloyd turned out to
have no ineonsiderable private means,
though how the latter fact escaped the
knowledge of the Narromyndham gossips
remaineth until this day mystery.
The wedding was necessarily quiet
and hurried, but was bridesmaid never

A. PRAIsEwORTHY WORKER WITH A
BAD CHARAcTER-There is now in the
stable of Mr.. Mccormack, in Buffalo, a
mule, the property OF Niles Case, that
has probably done more hard work than
any other four-footed creature extant.
Here is his record: Mr.. Case bought
the mule in 1853 from an Ohio man for
500, the beast being then 3 years old.
He (the mule) has been towing on the
Erie Canal ever since, and has never
been disabled or sick for an hour. He
has towed on an average 5000 miles
per season since 1858, aggregating l25,
900 miles. He is ready to start out on
another trip. What better story of a
mules life well spent can be written
His industry and indomitable persever-
ance are worthy the emulation of all his
long-eared kind, and in their light his
weakness can be forgiven, for it is to be
confessed the general character of oul
friend, the mule, is pronounced bad

The Mansfield Murder.

An our last paper We said that we
could account for the murder of
Rev. j. L. Borden, President of the
Mansfield (La.) Female College only on
the ground that his slayer was insane.
We have since read most of the testimo-
ny before the committing court and it
utterly dispels that supposition. It
showed that the act was deliberate and
malicious murder perpetrated in most
brutal, cOwardly and atrocious manner.
He was assailed by the two brothers, both
with pistols, when not dreaming he had
given provocation. Hewas unprepared
for their assault, and shot to death while
pleading for his life. Even after he had
been shot down, he was approached by
his slayers, who, to make sure of their
deadly work, deliberately sent two other
bullets through his brain. 1t is in proof
that he had not wronged the young lady
he was presumed to have injured; that
if he had, she had father and grown
up brothers who were her natural pro-
tectors; that she was not his affianced,
but was to be married shortly to another
person and that she herself had engaged
the services of Rev. Mr.. Borden as the
officiating minister, thus disproving the
suspicion of his having sought to wrong
her. There is evidence that as President
of the college he had offended his slayer by
refusing to suspend the rules of the
schools to permit the same young lady
to take buggy ride with him, and also by
an imaginary wrong in telling him that
another young lady (Mr. Borden's niece
was mot in" contrary, as the slayer sup
posed, to the fact.
The testimony has entirely dispelled
the chivalrous aspects of the case in
which the slayer was made to appear as
the defender of lady's honor, and they
have Invested it also of the charitable
presumption of insanity. 1t remains to
be seen what Louisiana jury will de-
eide.
The murderers have been committed
for trial, without bail.
In the death of Mr.. Borden his wife
and children have lost their protector
and hope. The christian ministry has
/
lost jealous laborer. Society has lost
valuable member. And the College
which he built up, and which was pros
pering under his management, has been
deprived of his guidance and instruc-
ton.

The Ohio Democracy on the Tarif:


The following resolutions were passed
by the recent State Convention of the
Ohio Democracy on the Tariff question.
2. We favor a tariff for revenue limit
ed TO the necessities of government
economically administered, and so adj
iusted in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive
industries at home afford just compen-
sation to labor, but, not TO create or fOs-
ter monopolies.
3. The act of the Republican Congress
reducing the tariff on wool, while at the
same time increasing it on wooden goods,
already highly protected, was iniquitous
legislation, discriminating in favor of
monopoly and against the agricultural
interests of the country, and ought to be
corrected, and we heartily approve the
action of the Democratic members of the
Ohio delegation in Congress in voting
against that increase.

The power to carry out the doctrine
of the legislative supervision of corpora
tons being now conceded, its opposers
fall back upon the position that it is in
exPedient, first, because it will repel the
investment of capital in railroads in the
State, and second, that no regulation or
supervision is needed for the reason that
the managers of the common carriers
have already adjusted fares on princi-
pies strictly just to them and to the
public. The first objection has been
completely refuted by the examples of
States all around us, and especially Geor-
gia and Alabama, to say nothing of the
States of the North and West, where SUI
pervision has actually prospered railroad
building. The second objection is an
swered by the specifications contained
in the well-written communication copied
into another column from the Meridian
Observer.

Civil Rights Common Carriers.

The recent decision in the United
States District Court at Austin, Texas,
that the civil rights act is unconstitu-
tional, is quite important in its bearings.
1t originated in a claim for damages
brought by Laura Evans, (cOlored) on
account of her exclusion from a car
which had been set apart for white pas
sengers on the Houston and Texas Cen
trail Railroad The Court held that the
act passed by Congress in March, 1875,
is an infringement of the reserved
rights of the States and that the State
Legislatures and State tribunals alone
have jurisdiction in the premises. Con
sequently the claim of the plaintiff was
rejected. The act was passed soon after
the war in spirit of sectional malevo-
lence in the belief that it would irritate
Southern whites by instituting social
customs to which they were unused.
A few of the railroad companies made
haste to conform to it, and have seated
all passengers in the same coaches with
out respect to color, and thereby have
given rise to frequent irritating and up-
pleasant consequences, Other com
panies refused to comply, but took care
to provide as good coaches in every par
ticular for the negroes as for the whites
An attempt was made i'll like manner to
obliteratc the natural~distinction Of
race in schools, steamboats,, hotels and
theatres, but the common law of GUS
tom and instinct, was stronger than the
statute.
Since the federal law has been de-
clared unconstitutional, and it is deci-
ded that the question to which it relates
must be dealt with by the States, an
end would be put to fruitful source of
vexation and unpleasantness by State
legislation requiring common carriers to
provide separate accommodation for the
two races, with the condition that they
shall in all respects be equally comforta-
BILE. The judicial determination of the
question furnishes sufficient ground for
railroad managers to pursue this course
without fear of pecuniary damage. 1t
is rather high-handed for common, car
riers to arbitrarily avail themselves of
their peculiar advantages to assume to
settle the social problem by enforcing
regulations which do not conduce to the
welfare of either race.
But let us have no unfair discrimina-
tons. Let accommodations be equally
good for both races. Let all have their
worth.

The State Grange Of Mississippi was
the first in the sisterhood of State
Oranges to so far recognize The capacity
and fitness of the sex, as to place a
woman in the important and responsible
position of State Secretary. The State
Grange was peculiarly fortunate in Sc.
lecting Mrs. Helen A. Ably, the present
incumbent, who is now filling with dis
tinguished ability her second term in
this office of the State Grange. The
duties of Secretary under ordinary cir
cumstances, are known to be arduous,
but when we consider the amount and
character of official work necessarily per-
formed by this officer during the past
two and half years, it is really mat
ter of wonder and surprise that she
could accomplish so much, to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned. The
State Grange is Justly proud of her Sec
rotary, and feels that in honorisg a
worthy Sister of the Order, she has great
ly honored herself and the entire frater-
nifty. Sister Aby-like him whom she
delights to honor as her husband, I. J.
Ably, the present worthy and efficient
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mlttee-has ever been a faithful. mn
firing and jealous worker in the GRANGE
cause; and like him, has exerted an in
nuence for good to the Order, the i'm
press OF which will live, and be felt and
