ting Down of q Flag.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. GA special
from London, where the Gubernatorial can
didate spoke yesterday, reports consider
able excitement. The Democrats Thursday

ricks and of Governor Bate. Some one in

down. AT yesterdays speaking, while
Governor Bate was on the stand, tho Re.

by her religious shouting, prevented the
Governor from proceeding with his re-

over tho insult to tho Governor, and also
accused the Republicans of cutting down
the flag.

The Drnping was Perfect.

A force of twenty eight men, under
Julius Lansburgh's direction, have COM
pleted the work of draping the Treasury in
a very effective and tasteful manner.
Mr.. Lansburgh had charge of the drapery
at the Capitol at the time of Garfeld's
death, the Russian Embassy at the time of
the assassination of the Gar, &C., and in
every case the most impressive aud artistic
effects have been accomplished. Mr.. Lans-
burgh seems to have original ideas about
the dIaping Of immense structures in
mourning, and his efforts in this respect
have challenged universal admiration.

A TEXAS MURDER
That ExcItes Good Deal or Indig-
MntIOn.

DALLAS, TEX, Sept. G.-John Sands, liv-
ing near Terrell, whilo ohopping wood at
his home, was shot and killed yesterday.
His little girl says that George Durham did
tho shooting. About two months ago Sands
house was fired into and he was ordered to
leave the county. Several prosecutions by
Sands have grown out Of the affair, aud
this is supposed to DO the cause Of the kill
ing. Tho coroner's inquest establishes the
fact that Durham did tho shooting. Yes
terday evening an attempt was made to ar
rest Durham, but he had fed. Much in
dignation exists at the laxity Of the officers
in not acting more promptly.

The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1884-06-12

A gentleman just returned to
New York from London brought
over an example of a new and ex-
ceedingly curious process of photo
graphing upon marble, by which
the picture is made to penetrate the
solid block and appear upon the re-
verse side as well. 1t is not only
on the marble, but in the marble
and through it, and cannot be
eliminated from it. You may grind
on it all day with pumice stone,
and you cannot hurt it. So long
as even a shaving is left the por-
trait remains unharmed. Split it
up with saw, and every slice is
two portraits. The gentleman in
describing the new process says /:
''There are secrets connected with
it that 1 could not pry into, but I
saw the greater part of the work
done in making this picture. The
portrait is painted on one side of
the marble, whether in oil or not
l do not know. When dry the slab
is placed on a little car and rolled
into an air-tight oven of moderate
temperature. Under the car is an
open tray full of water, which is
heated slowly by gas. After being
thoroughly subjected for some to a
slow steaming process, the slab is
suddenly transferred to another
oven with a temperature Of 300 de-
grees and kept there till the pro-
cess is completed, when removed
the colOrs are found to have pene-
trated the marble, and the picture
appears on the other side. l have |
seen billiard balls subjected to the |
same process, hundreds of them at
q time, and beautifully colored. |
One Of them sawed in half shows
the same coloring all through.
chess and checker
boards are made in the same way.
Intact, great variety sof beauti-
full and durable work may be done.
Wood may be similarly treated.
Some will probably be sent to this
country at an early day"

The Revolver Must Go.
.insYllle. Texas. Registes.

L
There seems to be well develop
ed crusade in the newspapers
against the deadly pistol, the South
ern press especially. Says the Gal
weston News, ,"Society in Texas has
progressed to that point where its
conservative elements are strong
enough to demand the overthrow
of the barbarous reign of the knife
and pistol, the pistol must go, and
law and order take its place." Says
the San Antonio Times, "Pass strin-
gent laws, and the six-shooter must
go" Says the Nashville American,
"There ought to be a crusade
against the pocket pistol. 1t should
be a penitentiary ofense to own or
carry one" The whole press north
and south are unanimous in their
verdict that the pistol must go, and
not one will be found taking an ac-
tive standpoint in the opposite di-
rection.
The very purpose, intent and OBJ
ject of pistol is to take human life.
Who ever hears for them being used
for any other purpose? Sportsmen
never use them, they are not carried
for fun, they are not carried for or
nament. No, their mission is hu-
man destruction. 1t is slowed
away in a pocket or belt, by the
man who carries one, for the sole
purpose of taking human life, if oc-
casion requires it. Not one man in
ten is ever killed by any other
weapon. Pistols are of no use ex-
cept for the purpose of homicide
Let then all the pistols be confis-
Gated. Make it not only felony to
carry a pistol, but also felony to
engage in the manufacture or sale
of the pistol. Let a strict supervis-
ion be exercised by the laws over
this subject. If Texas was to pass
such law prohibiting the introduc-
tion or sale or manufacture of pock-
ct pistols within her borders, instead
of record of from 10 to 20 murders
a week, record of murder would
be so scarce as to create a sensation,
while now it does not cause more
than a passing thought. Let it
once be known that she has Danish
ed the pistol, and it will also prove
strong attraction for drawing imm-
igration hither.
A feeling of personal security
would be created and difused that
would be more than welcome to

A Man Killed by Gnats.

Memphis Appeal: The first in
stance of death from gnat poisoning
to human being is reported as oc.
curing a few days ago near Wynn
station, on the Helena branch of the
St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern railroad. James Winters, a
farmer residing near there, had
gone out to pile brush on a piece of
new ground about a mile distant
from his house. Passing over a tit
of low, boggy, marsh land, the
gnats swarmed up and enveloped
him, filling his nose, ears, eyes and
mouth, getting down his collar and
settling all over his head and neck
in such number that Winters was
unable to fight them off. Their
stings becoming unbearable, he
started for home at full speed. Be
fore reaching the house he was so
badly stung that all remedies failed
to relieve him, and he died in a
short time in great agony, his face
and neck having turned almost
black. This is the first case of
its kind ever known, and is vouch-
ed for by a gentleman of unim-
peachable veracity.

Bows and Trades.

Every seeking person must see
and deplore the growing aversion of
boys sto learning trades. This is
what the manager of a large foun-
dry says about it at is a sad fact
that we cannot get good boys as ap-
prentices. The American boy will
not willingly learn a trade. He
doesn't want to bind himself to a
business where his hands will get
dirty and where a white shirt is an
impossibility. The American boy is
too fine-haired, there is an innate
tendency to be dude that is doing
our cities more harm than any
thing else know of. 1t seems to
take about three generations OF free
institutions to make boy too
naughty to work hard. A German
or Irishman comes to this country
and is glad to get manual labor at
any price and in any calling; his
son as a rule rises on the ladder and
learns trade, making a good arti-
sian, but his grandson makes up his
mind to be a book-keeper or die.
The result is we can't get apprenti-
ces. In our works there are men
making So, $4 and So day, sure of
employment whenever they feel
like working, and, in fact, masters
of the situation. The American boys
who might be getting these wages
are smoking cigarettes about the
pool rooms, waiting for an opening
as clerk at five dollars a week. l
tell you it is all wrong"

the !aw-abiding and peaeeable citi:

the law-abiding and peaceable citi-
zens.
We have become to be marvel
ously handy with a pistol A pis-
tol is ten year old boys great de-
light, and the object of his ambi
tion. He thus early acquires fond
ness for the weapon, that grows into
a habit, and it becomes as desira-
BILE to him to carry one as the nee
essary requirements of his toilet.
Two men cannot have row,
dispute or falling out, but the hand
goes down, a pistol is flashed and
one or the other is murdered. The
law and its officers should have
strict control of all the pistols in the
state and no one be permitted to
carry one except under peculiar and
pressing circumstances, and then
only after having satisfied the prop
er- authorities of such pressing need
and obtained it through them.
An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, take the pistol
away, confiscate them, break them
up, and then people won't use them.
We may have more black eyes, but
less funerals, fewer weeping and
destitute widows and orphans.
