A PROFITABLE SCHEME.

A year ago the State Legislature
of Texas ceded a portion of the
State known as the "Pan Handle"
comprising 100000 acres, to
syndicate composed Of J. V. Fsrwell,
Abner Taylor and a. C. Babcock.
in consideration of the erection of a
capitol building for the State, at
Austin, to cost 81, 100000, thus
fixing the value of the land at fifty
cents per acre. A London syndicate
has just been given the refusal of
the entire tract until April 18th, end
the sale is declared virtually conclu>
ded. The price, it is stated, is $l0,-
100000 The tract is 5000 square
miles in extent, comprises the
northern arm Of the State, and is
declared to be rich in arabic and
growing lands. 1t is watered and
timbered to such degree as to have
attracted three English syndicates,
who sent agents across the water to
purchase it. The last agent made
two propositions: To reUt the priv
ilege of grazing stock, or to buy the
land outright. The sale was closed
Oh the latter proposition on condi-
ton that the first payment be placed
to the credit of the Chicago owners
in the Bank Of England on the date
named.

MURDER BY A CHILD.

On the place of Mr.. Warren Bush,
is a negro woman named Phillis, but
whose other name our informant
could not give. She was the moths
err of two children-one about two
years and other four--and she bad
hired a twelve year old negro girl as
nurse for the children, while she was
engaged at her work. Two weeks
ago last Saturday the youngest child
died and was buried. Ga the next
Monday evening, when the mother
returned home from her work, she
found that the other child was miss
ing. The nurse could give no intel
ligent account of its absence, but
said it had gone away when she was
not looking after it closely. A search
was instituted, and all the neighbOrs'
houses were visited, but no clew to
the missing child could be found.
At last, after some hours, under re-
peated questioning, the nurse said
the child bad fallen into the we'll
Graphing hooks we're obtained, and
the dead body of the missing child
was drawn from the we'll.
The girl persisted, for a long
time, in saying that the child fell 10
the well, but at last she admitted
that she had thrown it in, for the
purpose of drowning it Her reason
was that she was tired of nursing
ADD wanted to get rid of her charge,
so that she might be allowed to go
back to her home. 1t was then re-
collected, that the younger child,
who had died the preceding Satur'
day, had some bruises on its body,
and this gave rise to the suspicion
that the nurse bad brought about or
FASTENED its death by violence.
The girl appears unmoved by her
horrible crime. When some one
suggested that she ought to be se>
verely whipped, she said They'd
better not whip me hard; if they
do, III burn the house down." Such
depravity it seldom falls to US to re-
cord. Strange to say, our inform
ant stated that the girl bad not been
arrested, and no legal steps had been
arrested, add no legal steps had been
taken in the matter. Forsyth Ad'

PUT OUT HIS EYES.-Tbe thor.
oughbred stallion Onondaga was re-
Gently blinded by veterinary sur
geou at Lexington, KY, in order to
subdue him. He was extremely
vicious, and all the ordinary efforts
at control had failed. ChlorofOrm
was administered to him, and while
he lay helpless fine needle was
thrust into each eye. Kentucky
horsemen differ in opinion about this
severe treatment. Some talk of
prosecution on charge of cruelty,
while others justify the act. Mllt
E. Young, the owner Of the horse,
said to Cincinnati Enquirer CORES
pondent: "Onondaga was SO saw i,
age that we could do nothing with
him. He made it dangerous for
every other beast in the stud and
every man who went near him We
tried all the common ways of subju'
CATION in vain. 1t came to choice
between killing him or testing the
effect OF putting out bis eyes" The
horse was very ill for weeks after
the operation, but has recovered
fully, and is sufficiently docile to be
easily controlled.

A RIVERS FREAK. One of the
straugest freaks of the Ohio river
flood is reported from Whitewater
river, a few miles above Lawrence
burg. Since the subsistence of the
flood it has been found that forty
acres of Farmer Hunts richest soil
bad been carried away, leaving that
portion of the farm practically worth
less until restored by a system of
tillage and fertiizng. Fred New
house, who recently removed to the
Whitewater bottoms, from Aurora,
owned a mill site just below Hunts
farm. Newhouse's property consist
ed of ten acres of rocky and barren
land, unfit for farming purposes. A
portion of this was large mill pond.
This mill pond is now filled to the
level of the breast of the dam with
the richest soil of the valley, and MIR.
Newhouse's remaining acres of un-
prod rocks are nowhere to be
seen, but are covere to the depth Of
several feet with the same rich de-
post. Instead of being a loser BY
the food, he is ahead the value o.
ten acres of Whitewater valley land
which, when there is any of it in th'
market, commands from 5000 t.
! $500 an acre.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Macon Telegraph.

From John Black, the we'll known
Clinton mail carrier, we get the fol-
lowing details of heart>rending
affair which happened on Friday
afternoon, about 2 o'clock, at the
place of Mr.. Allen Wheeler, about
four miles from Clinton, on the road
to Estonton. On the place lives also
Mr.. Buck Jordon, we'll known 10
Macon, who has a son about thirteen
years old This boy was playing
in the bedroom of Mr. Wheeler's
house on that afternoon with an old
single barrelled shotgun. 1t had
been bis playthirg for some time, no
one about the premises knowing that
i. was loaded. 10 the room was Mrs.
Wheeler, mother of Mr.. Allen
Wheeler, an6 his wife and child.
The old lady wse sitting by the fire
knitting, and Mrs Wheeler was
lying in bed with an Cinfant just
three days old 10 some way the
quo was discharged, the greater
part of the load striking the old lady
in the left temple, tearing portion
of the frontal bone of the skull,
killing her instantly. Mrs. Wheeler
and her babe were on a direct line
with the old lady and three of the
shot entered the back part of the
babes head, and several went into
the breast of its mother. The news
of the tragedy was soon spread, and
quite large crowd collected. Kind
friends raised the dead lady from
the floor where she had fallen, but
life was extinct. Yesterday Mr..
Jordan came to the city for coffin.
Mrs. Wheeler is not seriously hurt,
but the wound is painful and the
sight of the horrible scene enacted
before her eyes has been sew ere
strain on her nerves, Our informant
did not know to what extent the
child was injured, Truly this is sad
case.

THE Doc THAT WAS HoMEsICK.-
Seven months ago John Stoddard
bought spaniel dog, three years old,
of an east side citizen, and immedi-
ately after sold him to man 10 Sy.
racuse, and sent him to that city by
express. Last week the first owuer
of the dog was in Syracuse, and saw
the dog for the first time in seven
months. The dog instantly recog
nized him, and followed him to the
station as be was going away, but was
shu; back as the man passed through
the station into the cars. On Satur~
day, however, to the mans astoniSb-
ment, the dog reappeared at his old
home. After meeting his old master,
he must have become homesick, and,
by means of the unaccountsble in
stinct which animals sometimes show
as to the direction and distance,
came all the thirty miles from
Syracuse to OsWego. He had never
traversed the route before except on
an express car.-OSs0eg0 Post.

AN interesting story comes from
Louisville about pair of Texas pom
les which were inseparable in life
and in death not long divided, They
spent the winter 10 Kentucky pas
ture, where they frolicked together
like kittens from morning till night,
to the delight of all the children in
the neighborhood. Nobody thought
of using one of them without letting
the other follow after for its own
amusement. A fortnight ago one of
them was taken sick and soon died,
and thereafter the other acted as if
it we're crazy, which indeed it prob
ably was. From a playful and do
ciIe creature it became a veritable
demon, kicking its stable to pieces,
lashing out in a perfec! frenzy at
one who attempted to approach it,
and finally dying, not of broken
heart but of broken neck, the re-
suit of fall.

HUFFY PEOPLE.

There are a great many huffy
people in the world. You meet them
almost everywhere. You can scarce
ly crook your finger without giving
them ofense. They are always on
the look -out for Sights or insults,
and can take them when they are
neither intended or given. Huffy
people are not pleasant companions.
You must always be paying them
homage and doing them reverence
or they think they are not appreci"
ated. Such persons need a little
humility, so that they may think,
and little grace of God 10 their
hearts to sweeten their tempera~

grounded suspicious. 1t you want
to be happy and agreeable to others,

ELEMENTS OF A TRUE MARRIAGE
From a Sermon by Rev. Chas II. Cation.


From Sermon by Rev. Chas. II. Cation,
There are three elements that COM
bine and make true marrisge-
health, love and symathetic COM
partnership. No man or woman
physically weak should marry, and
thus entail sufferiog on others. Love
does not mean passion; it is based
90 understanding Men and women
should know each other behind the
curtain, as it were, before marriage.
Unhappy lives often results from
imperfect knowledge before marriage
of The characteristics OF the partner
in the contract. Love make>sacri-
fees; passion never. No husband
nor wife has ever kno vn true hap
piuess until after the birth of child.
Men and women on the plane of
marriage stand equals. There
should be symathetic compsnionship
in the sense that an irreligious per
son, should not marry one who is
not religiouSly inclined, or an unin-
tellectual person, one who is OF OPP
posite taste. There should be SYM
pathy and fellowship between has
band aud wife in all the pursuits of
life.
