Seated at a long table that extended
down the centre of the room, were iif-

with wires in various ways, presenting
as it were by sleight Of hand, some
lovely rose or delicate lny.

One of the most difficult of all the
minor habits to acquire is that of reg
ularity 1t ranks with that of order
ga place for everything and everything
in its place is not more important
than "a time for everything and every,
thing on time" The natural inclina.
tion of most persons is to defer until
the last possible moment, or to put off
till another time where this can posi-
bly, be done. Yet habits of regularity
contribute largely to the ease and com
fort of life. A person can multiply his
efficiency by it. We know persons who
have a multitude of duties, and who
perform vast deal of work daily, who
set apart certain hours for given duties,
and are there at the moment and at
tend rigidly to what is in hand. This
done and other engagements are met,
each in order, and a vast deal accom-
plished not by strained excrtion but oy

A BRACE OF BURGLARS CONVICTED,

Chief T, B. Hilleu, of the Baton Rouge
police, and Deputy Sheriff Curtis, OF Har-
rison county. arrived IN the city yesterday,
en- route home from Mckinney, where they
had gone rs witnesses TOR the stste TO testify
against A. A. Mi Ter. alias Franks, and
VERY Sullivan, both of whom we're charged
with buiglary aud theft. On the Goth Of
November, 1888. they burelerized the
store of Seay Il Sesy, OF Mckinney,
and cracking the safe carried of $500 worth
of jeweiry aud gold pens. They expressed
the articles from Jonesvllle to Baton Rouge
and when Miller called tor the BOX, which
was valued OF $50, the chief, who CHANGED
to be present. asked him what IL contained
and he replied that it was some tools. The
officer knew from the size OF the box that
arrested Miller and took charge
OF the box and on opening It he found the
iewelry aud gold pens. Miller, finding that
he was caught, became very angry, ana ne
and Jerry Sullivan, who was also arrested,
defied the officer to find out where they
were stolen. He got the press OF the city,
10 telegraph out tho arrest OF
stolen property. A telegram OF this
character was received and published In
this paper. The firms OF Seay q Seay OF
Mckinney saw It and com municstea VIVID WIZ
tho officer who brought the prisoners and
the missing goods to Mckinney. Yester-
day morning wnen the case was called on
motion OF Hullivan's attorney, . severance
was granted and he was az
raiened to answer TO the
charge Of burglary. The jury gave him q
years. Miller then pleaded guilty TO bur,
glary and was given years, Inc cases ntn. o.
ouied. They are both young men. They
will be taken to the penitentiary within
the next few days.

Western View OF Now York Editors.
There are no editors in New York worth
talking about. There were some there
ouce but they are dead and buried long
since. Journalism in New York resem bles
a potato vine. The only valuable part OF
il is under ground. The sprouts above the
surface are of no use except AS provenaer
TOR potato bugs. There was time when
one Of their great editors spoke in very Sigh
ting terms OF small country editors III his
view could be now ascertained he would
be- found to entertain similar notions az to
the calibre OF the successors OF himself and
his contemporaries. There are lot OF
little fellows in that city making newspa-
pers that are destitute OF every attribute OF
a real newspaper, aHd making as much
fuss over il as a hen over her eggs. Every
time these little fellows discharge some I'M.
derllng, or go to party, or wine and dine
some actress or ride out to the park, or
make few dollars, or blow their nosee,
their cheap Boswells record 1t for the sup
posed benefit OF people in the country who
have never heard of them, and II they had
heard OF them would have no interest in
them. II 10 time these puff'balls OF con
ceit were pricked. The slobber and gush
over them has become uncomfortable as
their own insuilerable and monumental
conceit. There is so much country out
side Of New York, and il is 50 thickiy set
tied, and there are so many other
newspapers among the 55,00,OO0 people
who don't happen to live in that city or it'
suburbs, and IL is absurd 20 suppose they
are interested in the personal habits OF hal
4 n dozen second-class men they have never
heard OF, or the peculiarities of hal dozer
third class newspapers for which they hav'
no use-[Chicago Times.

The Fearful Fate of "a Young woman iu
Ohio.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5. The rribuuo's Da ton,
Ohio, special OF February 7th 3lys; A sen
cation has been caused here by The dls1.Y'
cry Of the fact tnat Miss Anna HlcSvllt,
young woman of high social sanding,
who was supposed 10 nave died suddenly
On January 10Th, vas buried alive. The
| horrible truth was discovered u ieW days
ago, and since then has been the talk ot the
city. The circumstin OF Miss Hook
waits death were peculiar. II occurred on
the morning OF the marriage of her brother
| 20 Miss Emma Schmind, at the Emanuel
church. Shortly before 9 o'clock the
young lady was dressing Tor the nuptials
and had gone into the kitchen. few mo-
ments afterwards she was found sitting in a
chair with her head reclining against the
wall, apparently lifeless. Medical aid
was summoned and DR.. Jewett, after
an examination, pronounced her dead.
Mass was being read at the time In the
church and IL was propose ed TO postpone the
wedding, but Father Hahne thought 1t best
to continue, and the wedding was consum-
mated in gloom and by low mass. An
examination showed that Anna vas of an
excitable temperament. nervous and liliict-
ed with sympathetic palpitation OF the
heart, and DR. Jewett thought this caused
her death. On the following day the giil
was inferred in Woodland cemetery. The
friends of Miss Hockwalt could not forget
the terrible impression made by her death,
and several ladies observed that her ears
bore a remarkably natural color and could
not dispel the idea that she was not dead.
They conveyed their opinion to Anna'a
parents and the thought preyed on them so
that the body WINS taken from the grave.
When the coffin was opened 1t was discoy-
cred that the supposed inanimato body had
turned upon its right side, the hair OF the
he al had been torn out in handiuls and the
flesh OF the fingers had been Ditten from
the bones. The body was reinforced and
Efforts made to conceal the case.
