1t seems right that Capt. Dudley and
Mate Stephens should. at least, be SEN
fenced to be hanged for eating the boy
Parker. Human flesh is not natural
food, and there are no conceivable cir
cumstances that warrant c~snnibalism.
The principle is monstrous that. in order
to preserve your own life, you may eat
POUR neighbor. II this were true, on a
pinch, he might eat you. 1t would have
been better had the two men and the
boy endured the fortunes Of shipwreck a
little longer and all been saved or persisted
together. But if those two sailors, grown
up, brawny men, had not been towards
at heart they never could have deliber-
ately contemplated the murder Of a child
as an alternative. Theirs was a des-
perate emergency, but the deep sea was
all about them and would have tempted
them had they been really brave. When
all hope of life-excluding the thought OF
murder and cannibalism-had fed, they
could have ended their own misery in a
moment by one plunge into the element
of their adoption. In the straight in
which they found themselves. suicide

Railroad companies are beginning to
realize that the spotter system on passen-
ger trains is not a complete success. To
prevent collision between spoilers and
conductors it is sometimes necessary,
says the st. Louis Republican, to have
spoilers spotted by detectives, who, in
turn, are not always morally qualified to
shine as bright stars in a salvation army.
Until some genius invents an electric
contrivance to take the place OF the
modern spotter, which will at the same
time ring a bell in the general managers
Office every time . circuit between
the conductors conscience and the
company's treasury is broken, the
latter cannot feel perfectly secure. They
now herd cattle by electricity, and there
is no telling how soon that subtle force
may be used to correct the morals of un-
reliable railway employees. In conclu-
sion it can be appropriately remarked,
to use the language of a distinguished
scientist, that the electrical science is
still in its swaddling clothes.

WISE COUNSEL FROM THE
SOUTHERN BENCH.

In charging the Grand Jury at Stark
vile, Miss, Judge Arnold made some
very timely and sensible remarks to allay
the apprehensions among colored citizens
aroused by such mischievous talk as
Blaine's ~incendiary speech at Augusta.
We take pleasure in quoting the follow
ing p~raiseworthy passage from the charge,
which we find printed in the Oktibbeha
Citizen:
Let me say to the colored men on this
Grand Jury, and to all who hear me,
that there is no foundation for such ap-
prehensions. Whoever has taught such
doctrines has taught a lie. / assert, and
before God / believe it, that all the con-
stitutional and legal rights Of colored
be more respected hereafter than they
have ever been. Let the doubts and
fears Of the colored people on the subject
be dismissed. Let them rest assured
that no law can be enacted which will
discriminate against them, and that there
is no party that desires to enact any such
law, and that no administration Of the
law which discriminates against them
would be tolerated here or elsewhere.
In giving this wise and r~eassurine
counsel from the bench to the colored
people Judge Arnold has rendered an
important public service. His words
should be copied and read all over the
South.

She Was Disappointed.

A crowd had gathered the other day
in front of a new clock which had just
been unveiled over the door of larg
iewelry store on Woodward avenue,
and tall, lank woman in red shawl
and Hoosier hat, with a lean, yellow
dog at he- heels, stopped to look on.

man next to her, as she looked up and
down the avenue.

The woman braced herself against q

and waited. Presently the clock struck,
and the figure of Time made a few
moves and the blacksmith pretended to
rap his anvil. Then they subsidized into
their former state Of repose.

Boston Female BARRIERS.

of that sort. Everything will be under

and with mild relaxation of the fea-
lures he handed the reporter card,
which read as follows:
Customers are not to regard it as a
social obligation to converse with the
lady artists.
The commonplaces of the day are all
that the proprietor expects to be ut
tered. Whispering is absolutely for

The artists will be the same as deaf
and dumb to all young men who come

tesy.
Those who are not gentlemen may
save themselves the humiliation of
being elected by remaining away alto
gether.
Ladies are peculiarly adapted to do
shaving and hair-dressing more grace
fully, tastefully and expeditiously than
men. and it is for this reason that the
proprietor has secured the services of
respectable ladies in the hope that their

Paper from Wood.

1t Is well understood that large
proportion Of the paper manufactured
at the present day is from wood. The
nest Of the hornet OF wasp is in sub
stance OF the same material. Now,
how do they obtain ftp Every observer
knows that when wood is exposed to
the action OF the weather for : long
time. the fibers on the surface. though
not dccaycd, become loose and easily
detached when moist or wet. This Is
the building material Of the hornet,
and he knows exactly when and how
to take advantage OF the lest time to
collect his material for building pur-
poses. A rather smooth or even sur
face, when wet, is selected by the in
sect. The top pole or log Of an old
fence, whore the bark has fallen Of, is
3 favorite place for the hornet to work.
He begins by going backward, and
with his two forward feet rolls the
loose, wet fibers of the wood into
ball, which is usually about the size Of
garden pea. He now secures the ball
with his four hind feet, and flies
home with his material, and uses
it for building purposes. How the
work is done in forming it into sheets,

HURRAH FOR The NAN WHO
PAYS.

There are men Of brains who count their gains
BY the million dollars or more;
They buy and sell. and really do well
On the money OF the poor.
They manage 70 get quite deep in debt
By various crooked ways:
And so we say that the man to-day
Is the honest man who pays.
When in town he never eneaks down
Some alley or back-way street;
With head erect he will never defect,
But boldly each man meet.
He counts the cost, before he Is lost
In debts mysterious maze,
And he never buys in manner unwiee,
But calls for his bill, and pays.
There's a certain air of debonair
In the man who buys for cash;
He is not afraid of being betrayed
By jack-leg shyster's DASH
What he says to you he will certainly do,
If it's cash or thirty days.
And when he goes out the clerks will shout
Hurrah for the man who pays!
