A Horrible Crime.

The following is a Palestine,
Texas, special Of the 9th to the
mes-Democrat:
Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, of Elk
hart, was to-day lodged in Jail in
this place, charged with numbering
her daughter-in-law last Thursday
night. The crime with which she
is charged is most horrible in its
details. Her son, Andrew Parker,
left home in the evening to attend
to business, leaving his wife and
two little children with his mother.
AS Parker neared home, about 9
o'clock at night, he heard his wife
screaming to the top of her voice ;
he entered the house just in time to
see his wife fall and expire, while
over her body stood his own moth
er, Infatuated With anger, holding a
heavy club in her hand.
Parker's wife would have become
a mother in a few weeks. The poor
victim was beaten black and blue
across the abdomen and shoulders.
Parker kept the full particulars OF
the terrible murder secret for a few
days, but finally concluded, in JUS
tice to his children, to let the law
take It's course, and swore out war
rant against his mother.
The coroner's inquest developed
the above facts. No explanation is
offered for the mothers conduct
toward her sons wife. The case is
attracting great attention, by rea-
son of the fact that the sole witness
against Mrs. Parker is her own
son. She was held in default Of
$25, OCO bail.
For the sake Of all concerned.
and especially the innocent chill
dren, the father should have screen
ed the murderess, however horrible
her crime.

The End Of the World.

The end of the world is placed by
some at five hundred millions of
years, and still others, of later time,
among them the Duke of Argyll,
places it at ten million years, know
ing what processes it has gone
through. Other planets go through
the same process. The reason that
other planets differ so much from
the earth is that they are in much
earlier or later stage of existence.
The earth must become old.
Newton surmised, although he could
give no reason for it, that the earth
would at one time lose all its water
and become dry. Since then it has
been found that Newton was cor
rect. As the earth keeps cooling, it
will become porous and cavities
will be formed in the interior, which
will take in the water. It is estl-
mated this process is now in pro-
gress, so far that the water dimin-
ishes at the rate of about the thick
ness Of a sheet of writing paper each
year.
At this rate, in six million years
the water will have sunk mile, and
in fifteen million years the water
will have disappeared from the face
of the globe. The nitrogen and oxy-
gen in the atmosphere are also di-
minishing all the time. It is in an
inappreciable degree, but the time
will come when the air will be SO
thin that no creatures we know can
breathe it and live; the time will
come when the world cannot sup
port life. That will be the period
old age, then will come death.

OF GREAT VALUE.
A Home Invented Loom With
Millions ian it.

Mr.. William Schilling, an inge-
NOUS German citizen and practical
weaver of this city, has perfected a
hand loom which he has patented
and will exhibit atthe Worlds Ex-
position. Mr.. Schilling has con-
structed this loom at the expense of
only a couple of dollars worth Of
lumber, using no tools except an
old hand saw, an old Ratchet and a
WORKOUT auger. Of course, the
loom, which is no larger than an or
binary bedstead, has a very print
tive appearance, but its capacity is
really surprising. It win weave
anything, and Mr. Sehilling profess
es himself able to produce any pat
tern designed for him. When seen,
he was at work on a hammock, a
very handsome pattern, and Of a
texture not formerly attained, being
impermeable to insects. Sixty-four
threads were used, and Mr.. Schill-
ing professed himself able to make
thirteen hammocks daily. He also
exhibited school bag, which has
been in use for four years, manufac-
tured from iute, which appears
practically indestructible. Hisloom
| is particularly adapted to jute and
ramie. OF the latter he produces
the most beautiful table cloths and
other ornamental articles equal to
the finest silk. His wooden shawls
are very pretty, and the work SO
good and durable, that merchants
and ladies prefer them to any i'm
ported. Nothing is lost by his ma
chinery, the odds and ends being
worked up info carpets, which also
endure almost forever. Up to the
present, Mr.. Schilling, not being a
capitalist, has not been able to rem
der his invention valuable on large
scale, and has worked his single
hand loom HIMSELF, being able 10
sell at once all he could manufac-
ture The offers he has received
from patent agencies, to sell his
patent, he has invariably declined
but he is willing, after his invention
has been tested at the Exposition,
to dispose Of an interest in order to
acquire sufficient means to work on
a large scale. AS almost any article
produced from fibre can be made on
the loom, invented by Mr.. Schilling,
and steam power can be employed
for large proportion Of them, I'M
doubtedly the enterprise will prove
of great general utility. Louisiana
is rapidly becoming manufacturing
State, and is OH the eve of produc-
ing fbres on a large sca'e. The
advantage of manufacturing them
on the spot, by improved machin-
cry, is obvious. It is, therefore, to
be earnestly hoped that Mr.. schiil-
ing, who is gentleman Of much
intelligence and activity, will be
able to fully secure the success Of
his important invention.-N. 0. City

craftsmanship is strife, whose
scheme Of patriotism is vengeance,
whose eminence has been attained
by the Vaccinations Of spectators,
iobbers and monopolists, whose
tool he was, and by a certain fiarlng
rhetoric such as that he emitted at
the Augusta serenade, and which IS
a cheap imitation of the fiery elo-

The people understand that the
power and glory Of this republic are
not to be maintained by destroying
the unity and harmony Of the States
and sections, but by promoting, by
all possible means, that unity, and
thereby the wealth and happiness
of the whole.
Millions of our countrymen were
deceived in Mr.. Blaine; they be-
| lieved him to be a statesman and a
patriot. He has opened their eyes.
From the leadership Of the great
Republican Party, which for quar-
ter of a century has, with more OF
less Justice, but always with rigor.
governed the country, he has de-
cended to the leadership of a miser-
BILE faction, whose souls have been
burned to ashes by their own ma
lignant passions, born OF a strife
long since ended, and to the fate Of
the brawling demagogue they will
henceforth consign him.
But we will not pursue 50 dis,
tasteful a subject further. Unprin-
cipled demagogues, such as JAS. G
Blaine, may sometimes disturb the
peace of the country, but they car
never accomplish their ends nor IN
fict any permanent injury upon the
Republic. Under the Constitution
our institutions are safe, and the
Union, the ark of our liberties, the
hope Of mankind, will survive wher

and prosperity begins once more
with the Inauguration of Grove

A PAIR OF PANTs.-We were
shown this week an article which
has been secured for exhibit at the
Worlds Exposition that will prove
veritable curiosity to our North
ern and foreign visitors who are
unacquainted with the negro and
his habits. We of the South are
well acquainted with the ingenuity
exercised by the old-time class of
our colored population in mending
their wearing apparel, and we fire.
quently see one of this race donned
in a suit which might be likened unto
the coat Of Joseph "of many colors !"
but we doubt if there are many who
have ever seen anything to equal
the article selected for exhibit. 1t
is nothing more nor less than pair
of pants, owned by an old negro of
this parish, and which is most
wonderful piece of patchwork, the
garment consisting Of not less than
200 different pieces. As a place
became worn, it was replaced by
another piece of cloth, until to-day
the pants are a Heterogeneous mass
| of color and material, and there re-
mains only one piece Of the original
garment measuring two inches by
one and a half inch, and each patch
is of material different from the
other. The owner of the pants is a
well-to-do and highly respected col
ored citizen of West Feliciana
named Edla White, who has attain
ed the ripe old age Of SO years. He
has attained quite a competency
which he attributes to those remark
able pants. But the most remarka-
BILE part of the .-istory of these pants
remains to be told. Edla claims
that he has owned and worn these
pants for forty-three years, and he
has refused several good offers fol
them. Mr.. Geo. B. Enochs, o.
Philadelphia, no longer than last
winter offered him an order for the
best suit Of clothes he could select
at any store in town in exchange fol
the pants. He wished to place
them in the Philadelphia Museum
It was with some difficulty that Mr.
Willie Irvine, who secured the
pants, did so, the old man contend

New Britain letter to Hartford
Times At Mofitt's gallery we
saw photograph taken from some
writing on a slate. This slate,
which, by the way, is double or a
pair Of states, belongs to q well
known citizen Of fifty years Of age.
He took the pair of states to Bos-
ton, after having first tied them to-
.gether tightly and attaching seal
ing-wax in four places. Calling
upon a spirit medium there, he
asked for a genuine test of spirit
writing. He did not let the slate
leave his hand once. He was told
to place it on his head and hold
it there with one hand, taking
hold Of the mediums hand with
the other. He could hear the
writing going on. In ten seconds
the writing was done. He left Bos-
ton and came to relatives house
in Springfield. Not until he reach
ed his sleeping-room did he break
the sealing-wax and then he saw
the message. The handwriting Of
both was instantly recognized as
that of deceased sister and broth
er. This citizen is an honest man
and would.not knowingly be a party
to any imposition. Spiritualism is
subject about which I know moth
ing-but the facts here related are
facts.

money A few days ago S@ndring sold
his ranch aud 1000 head of cattle for
100000. only enough money was
paid to seal the bargain, but the rela-
tiyes are of the opinion that some

ST. LOUIS, Mo, November l3.-"How
do you account for the remarkable shrink
age in the Prohibition vote of Missouri as
You knew it 20 exist just prior to the cleo
tom" was asked this morning of eX-Goy-
cuor c. p. Johnson by reporter.
There were several reasons" said he,
"ior the >mallnc,> Of the vote In the
first place, when Dr. Brooks was nomi-
mated, we had q right to expect that we
could make a pretty harp issue, because
General Narmadukc had put himself very
plainly on record a. opposed to prohibi-
ton. Or. Brooks and hi, friends hoped
and expected that there would be no 9th
cr candidate in the field. If there had
been none, the Brooks vote would have
surprised the people who have not
watched closely the evidences of prohi-
bitiOn growth in Missouri. But even
after Ford was nominated, had he
reirained from discussing the subj :,
the Brooks vote would stili
have been very large. When, however,
be took the stand he did the effect
was TO utterly disgust the men who
had been disposed to stand by Brooks.
The Democratic PrOhibitionists saw
very clearly that the only effect of Civ
ing their full strength TO Brooks would
be 10 elect Ford who would be even
more Objectionable than Marmaduke.
Hence they determined TO again take their
place within the old party lines. Still, ten
thousand was notavery bad showing, and
the eyidenCcs'arc stronger than ever that
the Prohibition question is assuming such
Importance that il must soon become lead
inc issue between the two great National
parties. The ProhibitionistS of Missouri
saw that it would be unwiSe to introduce
the question into National politics at this
time, and they were opposed 10 a Presi-
dental nomination on that issue. Hence,
st. John rather injured than helped them,
and you will see by the very small vote
that he received that they had no use for
him. / can assure you that there is
nothing In this result TO discourage the
Prohibition workers, and that the Qucs-
ton will grow right steadily. | have
noticed the women Of the country took a
much more active part in the campaign
Just ended than in any for the past twelve
years, going so far as to parade in uni
forms in ONO ana Indiana. NOW, II they
can take that much interest in a contest
where the dry issues are those of tariff
reform, Just think how they would turn
out were the issues one in which every
wife, mother and daughter of the
land has deep personal interest, If
they will exercise political influence un-
der such circumstances as those govern,

doubt they did, what Il tremendous
power they would be in Prohibition

character of the election returns, sank
