Education.

A young man who is willing to sit down
in ideness, or devote his time to ''sOcie-
ty," and live off the earnings of his faith
er, is Justly looked upon as useless if
not dangerous member of society. No
young man of spirit or principle will con-
sent to do such thing. And further,

teaches his son some business by which
he can earn livelihood. The same prin-
ciple should be applied to girls. Every
girl should be taught that by her father.
Every girl whatevenher social or pecun-
iary condition, is liable at some time in
her life to be thrown upon her own re-
sources and the cold charities of the world
and this emergency should be provided
for. Besides, the ordinary duties of life
require that boys and girls be taught to
work, whether their parents are wealthy
or not, Public sentiment is greatly al
fault in this matter, especially with refer
ence to girls, and teachers can do much ii
correcting this sentiment. They should
teach the BOYS and girls in school thai
work is honorable and that idleness is dis
honorable. and that it is the duty of every
girl, as well as every boy, to learn how
to earn livelihood. 1t is not enough il

Table Talk.

A gentleman and his wife who had
boarded for years, philosophical good
deal in regard to the ethics of the table,
and one day they made set of rules
which should govern their household in
case they ever were so fortunate as to have
one. The first rule was that no one
should ever be allowed to remark dispar,
agingly upon any food that was placed on
the table. They reasoned in this way
II the mistress of the house give the atten-
ton to its concerns that she really ought
to give. nothing will appear at the table
which is hurttul or not well cooked.
When she has provided what seems to her
proper, she of course respecting the
known tastes of members of the family,
it is unwise and unnecessary to criticse
and find fault.
If it were ever possible to enforce this
rule which was to be the first in the model
home, it is now when almost every wo-
man is getting ideas on advanced cooking
and is trying to make her table dc
something more than simply feed the
hungry. If it were the practice of each
one to bring something good to say and to
think about at the table. reform would
commence which would make itself fell

1t is a highly concentrated medicine,

1t has received the hearty endorsement
of the leading men in the medical profess
sion, who recognize it as a standard phar-

in their practice.
1t contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use of which
for temporary effect in the many crude
and cheap mixtures sold as alternatives,
produces effects on the system often worse
than the diseases they are offered TO cure.
1t costs no more than any other, but

\ TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.

An Admission, Ala, special says: Re-
ports have reached here OF the punishment
of a wornan's assailant which are OF most
terrible character. On Tuesday morning
the thirteen -year.old daughter of we'll
known citizen OF Tuscaloosa, who lives on
the outskirts of the town, went into town
for the purpose of taking music lesson.
On her return home in the evening she met
Andy Burke, negro, who asked her some
questions, which she was answering when
a sheet Of music fell out Of her book. As
she stopped TO pick it up Burke flung his
arm around her waist and lifting her up and
holding her mouth closed with the other
hand, ran into copsc of woods with her.
As he ran the girl lost her hat. gentle
man riding by saw the hat on the road and
seeing tracks leading into the woods and
hearing mutlled screams in that direction,
he followed the steps and sound. As soon
as Burke saw that rescue had come 10 the
Girl he released her and escaped.
All night Tuesday and through Wednes-
day parties Of men proSecutcda Il search, ind
ing the fugitive Thursday. They took him
before the girl who identified him fully,
when he confessed his crime. He was put
nk. guard house, from which he was subse
quently taken by q mob, shot and hung
nearthe Presbyterian church, where his body
lay until morning, when it was cartod oil
and buried.
But BY far the worst part of the story re-
mains to be told, which only legal inyesti-
CATION could sufficiently verify.
1t is charged that when the negro was
taken out he was first mutilated, and after
letting him suffer for awhile the suggestion
was made to scalp him, which was accord
ngly done. BY this time the crowd became
fully committed to the policy of torturing
him, when he was partially disemboweled.
All the time, it is said, the wretch begged
piteously for the final act which would put
him out of pain. When the party had sati-
ated itself with the criminals suffering he
was strung up to a tree, all of the party who
had revolvers firing bullets into the swing
ing body, after which it was cut down and
left to be discovered by daylight. The de-
tails which rumor gives of the nights work
are most terrible.

A CHILD BAKEDTO DEATH.--A Lawrence
(\ansas) special says Last year Mrs. Anne
Bullen. q widow woman, married Mr.. John
Freeman at Goose Creek. Mr.. Freeman's
first wife had died short time before, leav-
ing an infant aged four months 1t is said
that he married again in ten months after
his first wife's death to have his little boy
properly cared for. Mrs. Bullen professed
to have great love for the child, and could
not do enough for it. Before this she had
been working at Frceman's house Us nurse.
They had been married scarcely week
when her inhuman treatment Of the child
attracted the attention of the neighbors
Mr. Freeman was frequently reminded OF
this, but the woman seemed to have such
an influence over him that he could do
nothing. He died suddenly about six
months ago, and by his will left his prop
erty, consisting of q los acre farm, well
stocked, aud some money, to the child, and $4,000
to his wife. In the will was proviso to the effect
that in the event of the death of the child the en-
tire property should revert to his wife. After
his death all the woman's pretended love for the
child vanished, and she treated it in barbarUus
manner. At one time an attempt was made TO
have the guardianship taken out Of her hands,
but by the aid of false witnesses and stupid
country Justice, she was enabled to prove that the
child was we'll cared for. Mrs. Bullen tells the
neighbors that last Monday afternoon, while she
was baking bread, the child crawlcd into the
oven, shut the door after it, and was found BY
her burnt to a crisp when she went to take out
the bread. The neighbors think she placed the
child i'll the oven with the deliberate intention OF
cooking it alive. Since the infants death it has
been rumored that she poisoned her husband.
Sac is now in Jail in Jefferson county.
