JUST at this j%uncture it is interesting to
read that the man who buys the wood burned
by the Maine Central railroad says that wood
is growing faster than it is cut in Maine. That
State is peculiar in one respect at any rate,
and the lone man who buys wood for a railroad
has q unique experience.

A sINGULAR case of race ostraeism on account
of politics comes from Richmond, Va. AT the
State election Leander Balfrchh, q negro, voted
the Democratic ticket, and thereby incurred the
enmity of his race, and they thereafter refused
to have anything to do with him. and he was
shut out from society and church fellowship.
He was taken sick about a week ago, and lin
gered until Friday. Two or three of his black
friends relented sufficiently to visit him, but
most of his visitors were white men. The negroes
refused to attend his funeral, and the services
were conducted by d.. Hatcher, a white min
lister, and he was buried by white men. But, after
all, She case is peculiar only because it has oc-
Cured among colored people. Hundreds and
thousands of white men have not only been
socially ostracized because they dared vote the
Republican ticket, but have been outraged,
beaten, shot, and murdered because they were
not Democrats. This has happened so often as
to become regarded as a matter of course, if not
an actual right enjoyed by Southern Democrats,
and any reference to it brings out the cry of
bloody shirt. For the ignorant colored man
some such prejudice is exeusable, but for the
educated whites there can be no sufficient apol-
OpV.

AT the village of DeRuyter, N. Y, on the
receipt of the intelligence that the murderess,
Mrs. Haight, had been sentenced to be hanged,
the people, despite the fact that it was Sunday
morning, prepared an i%mpromptu jollifcation.
Mrs. Haight was hanged in efigy, and there
were other equally marked demonstrations. A
cannon was brought out, and preparations
were made to fire it, but that was omitted.
The puerility, not to say brutality, of such
procedure will be apparent to all not engaged
in it. It is an extreme measure of law and
justice that calls for the life of a human being.
A hanging is a terrible thing, to be resorted
to only when necessity compels, and there is
for hilarity. If the accused is de-
serving of death the sentence is
just, and it should be acquiesced in with
becoming dignity. The friends of the muir
dered man may reasonably feel satisfied in the
result of the trial, but to leap and shout, to
rejoice and make merry over it, is so foreign
to the feelings that might naturally be eX-
pected to prevail hat it is astounding to read
Of such proceedings as these. The guilty
woman is in the hands of the law. The court
has pronounced the death penalty, and the
walls of the prison shut her in until the day
of execution. 1t will be a horrible thing to
hang a woman, and only the EXTREMIST need
of society %sufices to make it tolerable. 1t is
certainly not a thing to have a Fourth of July
celebration over.

elevated. This Is the way to put up swing.
but not a hammock unless it be simply to sit
in. For reclining purposes the head should be
higher than the feet. A good rule is to fasten
the head of the hammock six feet three inches

the two should be eighteen or twenty feet.

Boring in the earth for water is an operation
