The Richmond Wing in the Hand, of a
Receiver.

RICHMOND, Va, November 10.-In the
Chanccry Court yesterday creditors
bill of Henry L. Pelouse against the Rich
mond Wing Publishing Company was
filed. Judge Holiday granted an in
junction restraining that corporation
from further publication of the Rich
mond Wing, and appointing Charles C.
Clark receiver. The receiver is ordered
to continue the publication of the paper
and manage the business. Clark has been
business manager of the Wing several
years. Pelouse's bill amounts a thousand
dollars for rent and printing material.
The Wing is in its tifty-second year.
That it is allowed to go into the hands of
a receiver is considered q certain indica-
ton that Malone has decided to per-
manently retire from politics.
The paper in its earlier days was the
leader of southern opinion, aud the
organ of the Wing party all over the
country. One of the most noted politi-
cal duels ever fought in the South was
that between John Hempden Peasants,
its editor, and William Richie, the edi-
tor of the Enquirer, in which the former
was killed. Soon after the war the paper
was for a short time Republican, but
soon went into Democratic hands, and
was continued as q Democratic paper
until Malone declared himself q Repub-
lican. 1t began to be his organ about
ten wears ago.

In closing tho White House against

done thing which none OF his prede-

But were he an angel of light, and
we're the Government conducted with
the perfecu.on of divine wisdom, he
would be unable to extort a word q OF
praise from the Republican organs.
And so it is to be expected that the

at the matter in this way: MIR. SSe-
lands withdrawal from contact Nth

A white Elephant in the Governments
Medical Museum.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10
Corkhill, late District Attorney, was
asked what had been done with Guitcau's
semains. He said:
81 don't really know. Hicks, Gut
teau's spiritual adviser, got some sort of
2 will out of him, in which Guitcau left
him his body. He had no right to do
that sort of thing. l got experts and
had Gulteau's brain examined. They re-
ported that his brain was healthy. After
that did not care what was done with
the body. Hicks, think, did get the
body away"
elbow did he get hold of it?"
'sIt was a case of body snatching prac.
tically. Guiteau's body was buried in
the corner OF the Jail yard, and the au-
thorities there were not very much in
terested In protecting it after 1 had es-
tablished what wanted to. I think
Hicks got the body through representa-
lions that he would give it to the Gov
ernment Medicab Museum. | under
bones have since been articulated
there. 1 think the institution has
found them a white elephant. They
could not be used to scientific advan-
tage, and to receive such relics is more
in keeping with dime museums than a
Government scientific establishment
think that the authorities are ashamed of
having them. We washed our hands of
the matter when had Guiteau's brains
examined"

DISAGREEABLE THINGS.

A Bit of Advice by .sAunt Marjorie Pre-
cept."
OF course nobody prefers disagreea-
BILE to agreeable things I never heard
of any one who was delighted to sit in
the dentists chair; did you? never
found it very pleasant to beg pardon
for having done wrong, NOR charming
to 90 mile or two out OF my way on
an errand which was made necessary by
my own forgetfulness; nor, confess.
are pills quite as much. tor my taste as
sugar plums.
But, my dears. your Aunt Marjorie
learned "a great while ago that some
times disagreeable things must be done.
And the best and wisest way is to do
them at once and bravely. If you
grasp a nettle firmly, it is much less
likely to sting you than if you take
hold of it lightly and earelessly. II
there is q lesson for tomorrow which
you do not like--that '.old" arithmetic
or those ..old'' boundarios-do not put
off studying it until you have finished
your history and peeped into your bot
any and colored your map. but tug
resolutely at the hard lesson first. Get
that out of the way, and then with .
clear conscience you may attack the
others.
Nobody admires al coward. If you
happen to know that there is a cow
ardly drop of blood in, a. certain boy,
how you despise him! Why, I've
heard tiny children in the street call a
PLAYMATE .sfraid cat" and point at
him with an air of contempt, as
though that word left nothing more to
be said. ~
But, Fred. Will, jenny, what if you
are aware that you ara; way down in
your heart, a bit of a. coward now and
then? You do not like.to own it when
YOU make mistake. There are GER
tain stiff and diguified people who
rather frighten you, and when papa
sends you with al message to their
houses. you hesitate, and say: "Can
not Tom gop'' You are sometimes
afraid to say 'sNo," when you are
urged to do something which is against
the home law or the rule of the school.
You are the very tiniest bit in the
world coward.
Trust your Aunt Marjorie, dears.
This will never do. A girl or boy, to
amount to anything, must be brave.
And whenl a disagreeable thing faces
you. face,it. You will always find that
it was not half so bad nor so dreadful
as it seemed III the. first place. Half
the trouble, was i'm your own fancy

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
GRAPES THAT ARE SOUR.

(Esop.)
1t happened, one day,
A fox, on his way
To the house of neighbor. spied
Some fruit of the vine
So luscious and fine
That to pluck it he boldly tried
Now Reynard was smart.
And longed in his heart
The fruit above him to gather;
But he quickly found
The height from the ground
Would prove an obstacle, rather.
Concluding at last
He'd have to go past
With all of his efforts misspent
For consolation
In his vexation
He to his philosophy went.
Oh. why should sigh
For those grapes SO high,
Which, if plucked. really would find
Much too sour, i'm sure,
For me to endure?
So I'll cease to trouble my mind"
MORAL.
wonder if we
Do not sometimes see
That which we ardently covet,
Like the grapes, too high
For US to get nigh,
No matter how much we love it.
And. like the fox, find
Relief for our mind
In pretending that what we sought
Was not to our taste,
And not worth the waste
OF our labor, our time or our thought.

ldleness in Japan.

The rather. singular assertion that.
s'the Japanese have no need of watch
es'' is. thus, explained by the Choydt
Shin,bun: .'Inl Japan the populations
numerous, but labor is scarce. Not
only is work scarce, but the people are
idle and very few exert themselves in
active industry. Some may be inclin, di
to think this an exaggerated statement.
though admitting the fact as one of the
weakest points of Japanese national
habits; baak when the state of things
prevailing here is compared with. that
of European countries our assertion will
be. seen to be the truth. Artisans. for
instance, will not execute work within,
the specified time. When they say thew.
will finish job before seven o'clock;
next nlOrning, you need not expect to,
see them before eight or nine, o o'clock.
Ii is qnite common to have an article.
ordered to be made within. say, three
days, sent to you fcnr or five days SUBJ
seqaently. AS workmen neither lose
their occupation mar fail to make a lis-.
ing in consequences of thei1 unpunctual-
ity. watches are of no use 30 tnem,. Yon
always notice laEge crowds waiting for
the departure of trains %. ships several
hours before this fixed hour without the
least regard to. the tine thus wasted.
On the whole, therefore, it is not the
much to say that watches are of no
practical use to the generality Of too
Japanese people.

An Ocean Steamers Larder.

London Times: Few persons are aware
of the extensive nature of the victualing on
board the great ocean steamers. Each ves-
sci is provisioned as follows for the passen-
gers and the crew: 3, 800 pounds of butter,
1900 hams, 1000 pounds of biscuits, ex-
elusive of those supplied for the crew: 8, 900
pounds of grapes, almonds, figs and
other dessert fruits; 1900 pounds
OF jams and jellies; timed
meats, 5000 pounds; dried beans,
5000 pounds; rice, 5000 pounds; onions,
5000 pounds; potatoes, 40 tons; -four,
300 barrels; and eggs, 1900 dozen. Fresh
vegetables, dead meat and live bullocks,
sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys, ducks, fowls,
fish and casual game are generally supplied
at each port, SO that it is difficult to esti-
mate them. Probably two dozen bull
locks and sixty sheep would be a fair
average for the whole voyage, and the rest
may be inferred in proportion. During the
summer months when travelling is heavy,
twenty-five fowls are often used in soup for
a single dinner.

Speaking of cyclones and tornadoes
at the West. the New York Sun re-
marks: Recent experience shows, as
the meteorological history of the past
also attests, that there is hardly any
section of the country in which tor
nadoes will not occasionally form.
Only a short time ago one of these
terrible storms missed Philadelphia
by hairs breadth, and wrought de-
struction in Camden, and still more
fatal tornado demolished the little
village of Norwood, near the norther-
most border of New York state. 1t is
a singular fact that in the Adirondack
wilderness, not more than thirty or
forty miles from the scene of the tor
nado, there is a huge swath through
the woods known as "the windfall,"
where the complete absence of trees
along a narrow tract, extending sixty
miles through the heart of a dense
forest, preserves the memory of
similar storm which swept through the
wilderness there thirty-fve or forty
years ago. and levelled everything in
its course. This is also evidence that,
although they may not be of frequent
occurrence, tornadoes are by no means
unknown phenomena in the neighbor-
hood OF the Atlantic seaboard.

gentleman.
Post London Gable: Little notice is tax
en- here of the threatened attack on the
British embassy in Paris, which is now
guarded by police. The English are ac-
customed to find amusement in Rochefort's 8
threats. The latter writes that "Lord Ly-

thousand, with a proportionate death
rate. In spite of the efforts of the
sanitary authorities the disease con-

THE NEWS SUMMARIZED.
The Marquis De Mores Indicted for Muir
der.

The grand jury at Mandan, Oak, returned
an indictment for murder against the Mar
quis de Mores of Medora for killing Luffrey
about two years ago. No new evidence
was discovered, but friends of Luffrey have
brought the matter up again and are
determined to have a jury trial. The
marquis is in the east at present.
Court sits ten days longer, and if
the marquis can be reached in time he will
probably be tried. At the time Luffrey was
shot the case came before two justices ofth
peace, who acquitted him. The Marquis De
Mores in the spring OF 1888 had a difficulty
at Medora, where he had established an ex-
tensive ranch, with O'Donnell, leader of q
gang of herdmen. On the night OF
June 26 the counts house was sur
rounded and his life threatened.
Later fight took place between Frank
O'Donnell, w. R. Luffrey and another des-
perad o named Wonegan on one side, and the
Marquis de Mores, sheriff of Morton
county, Oak, and a posse OF fcitizens, in which
Luffrey was killed and the other desperadoes
were captured. Attempts to secure the ar
rest of the marquis, but two justices OF the
peace, before whom the case was brought,
refused the desired papers to that end

word in behalf of insects that are
universally voted a nuisance. Hesays:
AsFlies are the most important, because
most numerous, destroyers of pest
breeding material. When there are
too few of them to thoroughly con-
sumo the myriad and constantly sup
piled forms of dead and decaying or
ganic substance, the surplus pollutes
air, soil and water, and invites and
propagates disease" House-keepers
