$500 reward for each, and eight were
concerned ip it. How many there
have been in the State since I cannot
tell, but many.
Here in this little city of eighteen
thousand people, there have been, I
am told, at least eight within year.
I knoau Of sic. Sometime last sum-
mer in a Justice Court, two men,
father and son, were shot down in
cold blood; no one was punished.
A little later-in October, a banker
of this city, man whose home cost
him over a hundred thousand dollars,
saw from his window a man coming
down the opposite side of the street;
he was an old acquaintance, a man
with whom he had had business trans
actions for years. Rumor says he
had heard that the man had threaten
ed 10 kill him. Taking up rife
which stood in the bank he walked
out on to the pavement, took deliber-
ate aim, and seut a bullet home in
the body of his old acquaintance.
Glancing up the street he saw the
son of the man he had murdered run
ming toward him; raising his rifle he
fired again, killing the son. But the
young man had realized his danger
and the bullet which ended his life
was passed On its course by one sent
with swift aim from the boys revolv-
er, and it did not miscarry. The
banker and his two victims entered
eternity within few moments of each
other.
These things took place less than
a square away from the window
where l am writing.
There has been a little check to
the murder business since then, and
papers are beginning to call such
things by their name instead of re-
ferring to them as ''vindication of
honor personal encounter in
which pistol was used;" etc.
The time will come when life will
have some value all through the
South, but the training of life time
isn't forgotten in a day. One of the
beliefs of the Southerner was that the
reason northern men did not settle
their difficulties in accordance with
with code duello, was because they
were too cowardly to fight. Four
years of war taught them the fallacy
of that theory, but the familiarity
with bloodshed and the bitterness of
defeat were not powerful agents of
reform in the matter of their own
customs. That portion of the South
ern press which is laboring to crush
a public opinion which will not toler-
a.o tho carrying of froarms is doing
more good than all the missionaries
the South could feed. Nor does the
South alone need the agitation of
such a question. In every State in
the Union there is need of most strin-
gent laws, and the public should see
they are enforced. Boys think it is
smart to carry a pistol in their hip
pocket. If every man was arrested
and fined who carried one without a
permit to be granted only on his
showing good and sufficient reasons
for so. doing, three-fourths of the
murders would be stopped. Rum
fires the brain. and the shaking hand
sends death-dealing bullet into
some ones body. Then a plea of
insanity turns the murderer loose
upon the community. Vermont has
few murders but more than she ought
Let her people look to the cause and
see that it is speedily removed.

The rector of ST. Georges church,
Southwark, England, recently fell
into a laughable blunder. A lady
who was deaf-mute and gentle
man who was foreigner, and unable
to speak English, came to him for
the purpose of being married. The
clergyman, after much difficulty,
made out the object of their visit, as
he supposed, and appointed a day
for the performance of the ceremony
in church. He in fact understood
that they wished to be baptized, and
on the day set had provided the
requisite number of godfathers and
eodmothers to answer for them. The
regular baptismal service was used
over them; they were asked if they
renounced the devil and all his works,
and duly signed with the sign of the
cross. Though the service was not
such as they expected, they supposed
it was the newest way of solemnizing
matrimony, and departed, imagining
themselves man and wife. The next
day the rector received from them a
piece of the wedding cake, and a lit
tie note of thanks from the couple.
Horrifed at the discovery of the mis-
take, the clergyman rushed to the
hotel where they were staying, ex-
! planned the matter the best he could,
| and hurried them back to the church,
when they were married this time ID
due and ancient form.

Tilden in the South.

CHICAGO, July III. Mcconnell, a
prominent lawyer of New Orleans and a
Tilden delegate to the st. Louis convention,
was met at the Grand Pacific Hotel by
reporter. He said that the personal pref
erence of nearly all Louisiana Democrats
was for Mr.. Tilden, but there was another
more important consideration that would
control the action of southern delegates to
the national convention. The one thing
that is essential to the improvement and
development of the South, andiespecially
of New Orleans, is the improvement of the
Mississippi river, and in the choice of the
south for president no one who is not pro-
nounced in favor of such improvement
will receive Southern support. The jetties
at the mouth of the river have been of i'm
measurable benefit to the city, because the
heaviest draught vessels can now deliver
and receive cargoes right at the city. We
have now, [ think [ may safely say,
better harbor than New York.
This has had a wonderful effect upon the
commerce of New Orleans, and important
railroads have been constructed and are
now building to our city as the great COM
nercial center of the South. If the river
is improved along its entire Iength,we will
secure the bulk of the grain products of
the entire west that is now transported by
| the way of New York to the old world.
| Trans portation down the river in barges to
New Orleans and thence to Europe would
be very much cheaper than to go by rail to
New York, and Western farmers could be
paid the difference in the price of their
products. If these Improvements can be
made New Orleans will in a. very short
time become the great city that has been
predicted, and all of the river states will
receive incalculable benefit.
"Would there not be fear that New
York man might favor railroads."
''Such a thing would be probable
and if any man desires the support of
Southern delegates he must make an un-
qualified pledge to regard our interests in
this matter. do not know what Mr.. Til
den's views are, but if he is all right on
this point he will have the undivided sup
port of the South. His name would
awaken great enthusiasm throughout the
South, for We all sympathize with him fol
failing to secure his seat when he was
clearly elected and entitled to it.
