Murder and suIcide-A Shipping Clerks
 Terrible Deed.

ASeus
 NEW YORK, July 3O.-Horace B. Shepard a shipping clerk in the employ of the Her ring Safe company, at No. 251 Broadway, shot and killed himself and his young wife this morning at No. 211 West Twenty second street. When the house was alarmed by the pistol shots and the door broken in, both were found dead There seems to be no doubt that some complication about the mar riage prompted the young man to the act. and that it was fully discussed and agreed upon by the two days in advance of the execution. The folio wing letter, found in the pocket of Shepard's vest, is the only thing found by the police to throw light on the deed:
 Rev L Shepard. saybrook. Conn.,:
 My Dear Mother and Father Kittie and I were secretly married. There will be nothing revealed of the ceremony. We have been very happy together in so pleasant. Our last wish and request is that we msy rest together: With all our love and devotion we your affecttonste son and daughter,
 KTrTH AND HORACE SHEPARD.
 The young man was about twenty y-three years of age, his wife probably year or two older. Shepard's fellow cerk and best friends in the city did not know that he was married and the police infer from this cir letter and the fact that the young woman's features indicate that she was on a lower in- tellectual level than her husband, that there was opposition to his marriage at home. which he braved but failed to conquer, Mrs. Shepard is 6 stout brunette with coal black hair. Until the latter part of May Shepard boarded at No East Thirtieth street. with friends. He was then single. On the 23d day of that month he hired a third floor front room for himself and, from Mrs. Will. Hanson, of No. 211 West Twenty-second street and moved in promptly. The two lived very quietly and attracted no atteation.

HIS GREATEST TRIUMPH.

Of course Americans felt pardonable
degree of pride in the success of their
chief representative of dramatic art upon
his venture in the old world. They smiled
with complaeency when he was crowaed
with the laurel wreath in the presence of
royalty. They knew he would win the
praise and deserve the admiration of the
phlegmatic Germans. They had never en-
tertained doubt of his ability to COM
mand success as altar on the other side.
They were not at all moved by surprise
when the stage manager at Hamburg,
pupil of Devrient, exclaimed Until now |
have never seen Hamlet or Lear properly
personated," and had it on their tongues
ends to exclaim, az told you SO" when
Herr Maurice from his lofty managerial
plane pronounced Booth the greatest actor
since Talma. This was all expected the
American public felt that the salty tears
falling from the eyes of the sobbing people
of the stage in the wings, as they hung
upon the fringe of his impassioned elo-
quence, were the sipcerest of tributes to
American genius. That these case.hard.
ened old actors should weep before his
Lear was indeed generous praise. But
when the performance was over, and the
stout German men fell upon Booths neck
and began, after the continental fashion, to
kiss him, while the women wrung his hands
and sobbed in an ecstasy Of enthusiasm,
Booth could not belle his country and dis
guise his repugnance at this masculine o.
culatory tribute. He warned the steaming
kissers that paint was thick laid upon his
unwithered cheeks, and was not entirely
safe for the lips attack-but it was in vain
they Rugged him and slobbered over his
face and saluted him until bis
ters appeared. 1t was then that this
prematurely sober man, who, It's said.
seldom smiles, gave evidence what the
training of his native country has done
for him. The great American maxim,
"take the best you can get" asserted
itself, and with the courage that only
American genius knows, the artist,
with a single tragic sweep of his arms,
turned back the tide of tobacco fumes
and berry gales, and cried out eff kiss
ing be the correct thing the gentlemen
will stand aside and let the ladies advance"
For an instant the ruddy German women
hesitated, but the actor cast aside wig and
incumbering robe and stood ready. They
did not hesitate long. Booth was kissed
and kissed, too, by sections, platoons and
files, singly, doubly and all other ways
and when the scene ended he stood victo.
rious before the fair Teutons, triumphant
in this new seige. And now we shall have
for him profounder respect than ever. He
has manfully INDICATED his right to the
proud distinction of being true son of his
own country, where such assaults are al
ways victories for both. assailed and as
sailant. PROFESSIONALLY Booth has now
achieved the greatest triumph of his life

HORSE EVOLUTION.

OF all the domestic species the horse is
the most susceptible to the influence of
surrounding conditions. There is no such
great difference in either COWS, sheep or
swine, as there is between different breeds
of horses. 1t ia not difficult to pick ont
horses sixteen or seventeen times as yalua.
bic as other horses. Mems wants change
with time. Fashions change, and new
breeds come up to satisfy new fashions.
The trotting horse is by far the most inter
esting example of this kind of evolution
which IS now going on. The American
trotting horse is most instructive exam
pie OF breed just in process of formation.
Fast trottlng has notheretofore been natural
to horses. We are now making it natural.
For over four thousand years the horse has
been applied to all the principal purposes
we now use it for, except one, and to meet
that one use the modern trotter is in pro.
cess OF evolution. The greatest use OF the
horse down to within one hundred wears
was an implement of war or ceremony !:
next to this, as beast of burden. For
this purpose the horse must not be too
large he must have strength, endurance.
intelligence, courage and variety of eaits'
This last item is of no Importance to us. It
is disadvantage. 1t was everything in all
previous ages. The horse of antiquity was
riding horse. Mohammed and his fol.
lowers swept wherever the Arabian horse
and his armed rider could tread. and no
further. When the Moors went into Spain
they went on their Barb horses. and when
they were driven out after being there fopr
hundred years, that blood made the Snan.
ish horse what it became, and what mart Il
played in the wars of Europe is told in
many an old Spanish ballad. When The
Spanish horse was at it's best, then the
Spanish nation was at its hight. This
horse was then brought to America and he.
came the progenitor of the wild horses AZ
North and South America. In times of
peace the horse figured in the Ceremonies
as an index of rank. AS beast of burden
in agriculture he played very minor mart
until within one hundred years. The So
cial relations Of the horse have been AN inn.
portant factor in the formation of breeds
Numerous laws on the use of horses have
been made in nearly all countries in the
past. In all ages the use of the horse has
been an emblem of social position ia me
Pagan, Mohammedan and Christian world
alike, and is an item even in this day and
land. Many humorous illustrations Of this
We're cited. Up till recently the trotting
horse has been in contempt.-[Lecture by
Prof. Brewer.

FINANCIAL CONJECTURE.

The drift of money westward from New
York and Boston has set in. It is a rule
that good season in the Mississippi valley
calls money from the Northeast to the
West and South, and it does not return in
as large volume for the purchase of manu-
featured supplies. Eastern journals are
troubled over the fact this season. They
find its cause in the independence of money
in the Northwest. So concerned is the
Boston Advertiser over this westward ten
dency, that it remarks: This loss is a
serious fact, and will continue until the
farmers learn to trust banks and do away
with boarding. AT present, nearly every
thrifty farm house of the country contains
some ready money which should be in cir
culation or even earning in bank. While
it is happy fact, then, that the agricult-
ural interest of the country is thrifty,
Eastern banks cannot look upon. this thrift
with unmingled satisfaction. In other
words, the South and West absorb enough
money to make Eastern banks poor" The
question is, then, can the East get relief in
supplies of money from Europe? Some
shipments have been made, but not enough.
Fortunately there is no expansion or specu-
lation, and the demands are accord
ingly as light as the supplies. But money
rules high in London, and it is improbable
that it will come down, except temporarily
in June. To force shipments is the only
practical recourse of the East, and this
must be done by increase CT exports, and
the outlook for that is not promising.
After the first of July imports will be
very heavy, and the East will be then
drained on both sides, East and West. The
press therefore advises the banks to pre-
pare now for hard pull. But the history
of finances proves that nothing is more in.
definite than financial conjecture. 1t is
the unexpected that happens in the money
market always, and there are more chances
for than against something happening be-
tween now and July lst to completely
change the conditions, to the relief of the
now respondent financial prophets.

MAKING PRESENTS. tact is re-
auired to make presents. Never intimate
your intention OF making one. Half the
pleasure in receiving a present consists in
its being unexpected. Avoid the appear
ance of making your gifts of consequence.
When you have presented it, and acknowl-
edgments Rave been rendered, do not re-
cur to the subject but if It's merits have
been highly extolled, and the person who
has received it evince lively satisfaction,
express your happiness that they are
plea5ed, and say that their opinion of it
constitutes the value of the gift at the
same time, do not fall into the vulgar error
of deprs catingit. The gifts made by ladies
to gentlemen should be of the most re-
fined nature not purchased, but deriving
a value above price, as emanating from their
own skill or ingenuity. as sketch from
their pencil, or some little production from
their needle. However email or insight.
cant present may be, if offered to you,
accept it with expressed thanks not to
manifest much pleasure in receiving it
would no. only betray ill-breeding, but a
disregard for the feelings OF the giver,
whom may be certain intended kindness,
We should preserve the presents of friend
ship with scrupulous care, and ought never
to dispose Of them, or to give them away
to another. 1t would be very gratifying to
the donor If we speak of il occasionally
whenever a suitable opportunity offers /;
and in proportion as time has elapsed, this
attention will confer the more pleasure and
it win prove that we have preserved the
gift with care.
