A HORRIBLE Death.

A dispatch from Cynthiana, Ky,
says: Mortimer Martain, distiller BY
trade, aged 3S years, was employed by
the RedmOn distillIng company, Of this
place. On Friday last while they were
engaged in making their last mash
preparatory for closing up for the season
the boiler got out of repair; and Mr..
Martin went in to adjust the damage.
The temperature was 2l9 degrees, and
it became necessary t. keep u stream OF
cold water playing upon him, in the
mean time, though hose, 10 enable
him to accomplish it. He was in the
boiler quite while, and in few hours
after coming out he complained of his
back and limbs aching. He went to
bed, and in q remarkably short space
of time it was discovered that phleg-
menous erysipelas had set up In his
scrotum, spreading at such fearful
rate that twenty.four hours from
the attack he was corpse. His suffer.
ings were excruciatiDg even beyond
description,an his attending physician
says that he never knew a case Of such
great physical strength Frustrated in so
short a time. in fourteen hours after
the attack the parts began TO slough.
He leaves wife and two small children
with life policy of 81 900 for their sup
port. The last twelve hours of his life
he was Unconscious, and all that time
he was working away at the boiler.

The following related case of barbar-
ism, savagery, or whatever it may be
termed, comes to us from reliable
source, our informant stating that there
are large number of people living In
the immediate vicinity of the occur
renee who can vonch for the truthful
ness of his statement: An old woman
named Keasler, living about two miles
northeast of Equality, had a little
colored boy living with her during the
psst winter whom she has beaten and
starved alternately lin the most
inhuman manner. In addition
to being half starved and fiend-
ishly beaten, he has been INSULT
GENTLY clothed. From this accumula-
ton of misery and ill-usage the little
fellow, who is on by s or 8 years of age,
resolved to escape, and few days ago
ran away. He was caught and brought
back, when the old beldame beat him.
with a bride, bits and all, until her
strength gave out, and then sent for an
old darkey named Andy Young to as
sist her, and between the two they gave
him eighty-six lashes on the naked
flesh. He again escaped and when
they found him, on Tuesday last, in an
old house on DR.. tiordon's place, he
was entirely naked, and supposed to be
dead. The case was reported to the
constable, who summoned jury to
hold an inquest, but it was discovered
that he was still breathing. Restora-
tives were used, and in the course Of an
hour he was able to speak. He was
clothed and otherwise temporarily pro-
vided for. Thus far no arrests have
been made.

Gustaye Dore's Passport.

Philadelphia Tcicgraph's Paris Letter.
Iheard the other day characteristic
anecdote of Ciustave DOre. 1t appears
that soon after the conclusion Of the
Franco Prussian war he was compelled
by business to visit his native country,
Alsace, and, of course, he was obliged
10 have passport. On reaching the
frontier his passport was found to lack
some essential formality, and the Ger
man officials refused to allow the artist
to proceed upon his journey. . n fact,
how do we know that you are Nj. Gus
tave DOre at all?n said the chief official,
severely. For sole answer Dore drew
out his pencil, seated himself at the ia
ble, and sketchCd on the back of his re-
jecIeu passport a dismOunted cannon,
with group of dead and dying soldiers
around it. The Prussian took up the
sketch, looked at it, and quilted the
room. In few minutes he returned
with another passport, which he laid
before the artist. "This paper, NJ.
Dore," he said, is perfectly en- regle.
You can travel with it where you
please without molestation. AS to the
other one, you permit me to keep it as
my fee for making the exchange. |

and smiled and bowed, so paused an
instant to speak with him, 81 that one
of Nj. Dore's dogsw / asked, "Ah,

The Lords Prayer.
LoviSrillc COurier-J0urndl.

During the sermon at the Third Chris
tian church, Rev. B. B. Tyler, touching
upon the subject of the Lords prayer,
made a natural DEPRESSION TO state that
a number of years ago he had a pleas
ant interview with James T.. Murdoch,
the great actor and elocutionist.
~ REFEREED said Mr.. Tyler, "to the
rumOr then and since prevalent that the
elder Booth had often repeated the
lords prayer with such vocal power
and pathos that no one could hear him
without being melted to tears, and |
asked Mr.. Murdoch whether he could
vOuCh for the truth of the statement"
"NO, sir; nor can anyone else, replied
Mr.. NJ. There j. not word of truth
in it. The Lords prayer is so far above
the arts 0f the elocutiOnist-it so bears
in ever word and sentence the impress
of divinity, that even is one should es-
say to lendit additional force or inspira-
ton, he must needs sail in the judy
ment of all whose good opinion is
worth the asking. So far as am con-
cerned, / should regard il little less than
sacrilege in any man to select that sub
FINEST of all compositions on which to
practice the arts of the elocutiOnist.'

The Red Plain NJ Moscow.
NcIr Tork Times.


The proposed coronation Of the Car
at Moscow, though political conces-
sion to the reverence ofall true Russians
for what they still consider the real
capital Of Russia, is, historically speak
ing, an evil omen Of the worst kind.
The sacred Kremlin or citadel fronts q
vast square on which Ivan the Terrible
put to death by torture several hundred
men at once, whence it took the name
of the Red Plain. The curse invoked
by one of the victims was amply full
filed. Sixty years later the Red Plain
was again red with the blood of 100, 600
Russians, and the Poles were browning
their king in the Kremlin. On the
same ground, close to where the statue
Of Prince Pojarski now stands, Peter the
Great massacred thousands of bis in
surgent Life Guardsmen. The burning
of Moscow in 1872 commenced near this
fatal place, which was also rendered
memorable by formidable attempt
upon the life of the late Car. A spot
haunted by such memories can hardly
be pronounced an suspicious scene for
the loBg-deferred coronation Of Alexan-
der III.

Or you,n said Janet, demurely

looking down.
s'Do not be unkind," said the young
man with beseeching look of entreaty.
"For your sake went willingly into

ture independence. Once have gain

Janet, that may come home to claim

The eager voice had assumed dan
gerous tenderness as the words poured
forth, but the girl only answered.:
"You have forgotten, Mr.. Window,
the obstacles that existed still remain,
do they not ? Believe me, the marriage
your uncle has planned is in every way
suitable, and from the bottom of my
heart hope that you will marry your
uncle's choice" 49, ..--
And Janet was evidently in earnest.
"Then I am sorry 1 must disappoint
you both" said the young man pash-
ionateIy. "Unfort unately, was born

appears, you have dispensed. oh, ia

denly sweet and low-"I will confess 1t
now. From the bottom of my heart L
do love you. Nevertheless an arch
smile breaking over her face, 81 am
quite convinced that when you have
once seen Mr.. WINDOWS adopted
daughter, you will change your opinion
about marrying her."
And while Roger, with both her
hands in his, was trying to assure her
of the impossibility of such result, the
door opened, and Mr.. Samuel Win
dom's amazed eyes dwelt upon the
pre- tty picture before him.
upon my soul, Roger, you seem to
be progressing very WE'LL" said his
uncle, as he elevated his eyeglasses.
"And this" said his nephew, tri-
umphantly leading her forward, sis
the only woman you can induce me to
marry" -,
And so it was time that Janet should
offer an explanations; the result OF
which was, that in another months
time there was a magnificent wedding
in the Window family, and the bride,
so charming in her creamy satin and
priceless pearls, was given away by Mr..
Samuel Window.

THE AWAKENING.
Natures Sappers and Miners Busily AT
Nork-The DRndeiiOn's Coronation
Coming Soon.

Great things are going on in the
morning. Out in the orchards under
the coarse bark of the apple tree; over
in the woods beneath the rind of the
birch and the maple, the chestnut and
ash; under the dead leaves on the hill
side, where the arbutus is struggling
into life; down in the meadows, where
the brown grasses is frightening; out
on the lawn, where the emerald Is just
beginning to assert itself oyer natures
winter wear of sOmbre gray, without
noise or friction or any visible move
ment, millions of horse power are at
work. There's stir III the grave of
the crocus; the dead spears of last years
lily of the valley begin to feel a gentle
pressure from below; in tufts of yellow
grass green blades thrust up their heads,
roots of the dandeliOn rustic in antici-
patton of a coming coronation, and on
every fibre of the oak and elm a force
which 10 man may number and no
human power resist is marching straight
upward.
A great army of sappers and miners
has been burrOwing under us. 1t Is the
same whose hurrying flight We saw in
last OctOber's golden glOries, Haunted
at us yellow and crimson from birch
and maple, as it sullenly fell back be-
You'd the further ridges of the hills;
the same army that having stOrmed
and possessed a world, and made its
brief and merry season of carousal,
went off in highest feather, leaving be-
hind all the stOrehOuses it had endowed
with plenty, all the granaries it had
filled to bursting. The forests bowed
their heads and moaned, and the world
put on sombre garments at its departure.
And now it has come back. The work
of its sappers AMI miners is beginning
to appear. They are pushing up their
spears in meadow and field; they are
climbing to the battlements in forest
and orchard. They hover on the hill
sides and pitch their tents in the valleys.
Their legions are tramping noislessly
but constantly into the tree tops, each
with its folded banner. Presently,
when each has reached its station, even
to the furthest twig, there will bea tlutter
in the orchards, and when the world
awakes it will be to find itself once
more possessed, with the banners way
ing over it, of the apple and the peach.
