A Chinese LynchinQ.

force upon the fathers skull that hc
cracked it and killed the old man.
The neighbors, hearing the row, as
.sembled at the door of the house
where the murder was committed and
captured the son as he was endeavor-
ing to escape. The members of the
fathers clan were then called together,
and at solemn conclave it was decid-
ed to administer ON the spot the law
set aside for PARTICLES instead of APP
pealing to the mag lstrates, which in-

haps the murderer might effect his es-

outside the hamlet hole was dug,
and the wretched murderer consigned
to its depths. Tho mud was thrown
into the hole, and the members of the
clan stamped by turns on the grave

The statistician OF the Ohio Labor

The statement is telegraphed from
the capital OF Texas that there are
thirty millions of acres OF good school
lands in that geographical division
that can be immediately bought or
leased by the cattle barons who have
been ordered to move their herds from
the 3, SOO,0 900 acres they now occupy
in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reser-
vation. This statement from the capt
tai OF Texas, and the vehement asser-
ton of the cattle barons that there is
no place where they can find pastures
now, are not reconcilable to each other
apon any hypothesis that permits the
silpposition that both are true.

The Cholera at Marseilles.

London Cable: The condition of affairs
in Marseilles is every day revealed rs even
worse than what was already known, and
the continued neglect by the authorities
Of the needs OF the city is being
thrown more and more into relief as Il course
of conduct criminal in its effect on the in
habitants. 1t is now proved that cholera
has existed in Marseilles in an unmistaka-
BILE and we'll defined development of the dis
ease since June, while the authorities have
persstently denied it's presence, and have
done nothing to retard its progress. Its
first appearance and the rapidity OF its
spread are due entirely to the filthy con-
iition of the lower quarters OF the town.
The state OF things there almost passes be-
lief, and this hot-bed of contagion has
been permitted to grow with the warm
weather and breed cholera, while the other
OF the city have been kept as long
rs possible in ignorance of the terrible plague
at their doors. In these crowded and dirty
localities the people have been huddled to-
gether like pigs, and garbage and refuse Of
all kinds are thrown int the streets. In the
total absence of drainage there is no other
way to dispose of refuse, and the result is a
horrible and sickening accumulation Of filth.

Attractive ADVERTISING,

Nothing can be truer than the fact

spends the most money in advertising
that secures the greatest returns, but
he who, having an article that people
want, makes the fact known to them in
o business-like way. It is conceded by
men who have made the deepest study
Of advertising that the most direct and

should be some degree of harmony be-
tween the article offered for sale and

we do not know, unless the "'petti-
coat" was made with long skirts for
the sake Of warmth, and In each case
1t was as much petticoat as we un-
derstand 1t, az anything else. We
have only to hook at Shakspearean
characters; nay, let us be thorough, and
90 back to the time of the patriarchs
10 discover the skirts of men. And
easily enough we trace them down
through the ages.
In the inventory of the effects of Henry
V. appears "petticoat of red damask
with open sleves," and although 1t
was question whether this had been
fashioned for man or woman, 1t
would, if woman's, be the only in
stance known before Elizabeth's time
of q woman using such garment.
Thus, we hear nothing of women's
petticoats before the Tudor period.
"Good Queen Bess," with all her
learning, which was essentially mas
culine In her age and time, had the
true instincts of womanliness in her as
regards personal adornment, and
even though we find her deficient in
taste, and heartily wish she might not
have made such a guy of herself in
her old age, yet as woman we have
her to thank for stockings and petit
coats, and many other Injuries which
have become necessities, ard which
we now appropriate with as true be-
lief in our inaleinable right to their sole
possession as though the legacy had
fallen to us from Mother Eve instead
of Maiden Elizabeth.

He'd spend all the money he had, all
he could borrow, and then run his credit
to the very limit. He was ready to be

he was liable to be treated to q pair

Roller Skating Did 1t.

Utica Herald: Living with an aged grand
mother in Whtest own last fall was young
girl about fifteen years OF age, who was In
the enjoyment OF almost perfect health and
possessed OF Il rugged constitution. She
scarcely ever was ILL., and was much stronger
than the average female at her age. The
skating rink seemed to offer very peculiar
attraction for her. She was a remarkably
graceful skater and the company at the
rink being agreeable, the greater part OF her
time was spent within its walls. Every
night and often afternoons, she was at
some rink enjoying the fascinating sport on
the rollers. She went on in this way for
some time, until prostrated by exhaustion.
She was treated for this, but grew worse
instead OF better, and finally she became
IA sing maniac, reqiring main force to keep
herquiet. An examination revealed that her
spine had been injured, and the physicians
gave it as their positive opinion that it
was caused by too much roller skating.
The injury to the spine, OF course, affected
the brain, producing insanity. The eertifi=
cate OF two reputable physicians pronounce
ing her insane being presented to the court,
commitment papers were issued, and the
following day the insane young lady was
placed in the state lunatic asylum in this
