A Queens Opinion.

M. Queen writes from Johnston, w.
Va, that he has been sorely afflicted for
several years, but he was urged to try Pc.
RuNA, which he did, and he now feels
that he is about over his trouble, and con-
siders it the greatest medicine in the
world. He says he has to 60 or send
distance of fifteen miles to obtain PERu-
Ma, but it will repay him for this.
Ellwood Sha,lcross, former editor of
the Saturday Journal, Wheeling, w. Va.
says: GeatiemeR: Some time ago

siderably. Having read your advertise

feeling at pit Of the stomach,
with unsatisfied craving for
food; heartburn, feeling Of
weight and wind in the stom-
ach, bad breath, bad taste in

The Republican party, now assuming

and vociferous in its condemnation of

robbed the citizens of Indiana of their
honest verdict at the ballot-box. When
the result was Enthusiastically in favor of
the Democracy, the verdict of the
people was manipulated by the
most wholesale and open bribery and
corruption on the part of the Republic

veloped in any election. Dorsey and
his associates, with an unlimited cor
ruption fund, engineered the damnable
shame by means of colonization, ballot
box stuffing, false counting and all the
frauds by the use of money. And the
scheme was so successful and SO little
shame or disgrace was attached to this
stupendous crime that Republicans
high in the councils of the nation

Of all the reptiles that crawl, the
scandal monger is the meanest, and
there is no punishment too severe. If
there is any case in which an outraged
citizen IS justified in taking the law in
to his own hands it is when he chas-
tises the slanderer. The law is too slow
for such as the7. A pounding is what
they ache for. and they should have it.
Cramming revolver down the throat
of a liar is good thing, or bending a
hickory club over his head. Liars are

there is no punishment adequate to
their crimes but pounding, or perforat-
ing their hides with number of small

A Strange Community.

A correspondent of the Wheeling
Register, who has recently visited the
settlement of Viorle, in the extreme
southwestern part of Kansas, says of
it: The valley is some ten miles wide
at this place, and soil is very fertile.
1t has q population of one thousand.

dered at us getting there, and sternly
discussed the propriety of ejectment-
1t had been q long time since strangers
were in their midst. However, after a
long parley and due de1iberation, we
were permitted to remain. The town
was laid out and settlements COM
menced by company of religious
bigots in the spring of 1868, since
which time select families have been
added. In the beginning it was decreed
that all things should be held in COM
mon, houses, however small, should
be built of brick, and extravaganza,
finery, fancy work should not be toll
Grated. The people are plain, simple
minded and very common.
To see good brick buildings with
loopholes for windows and doors hewn
out of timber, to see people lie on the
ground flor these houses have no
floor, and repose on skins, and to see
no furniture, not even q dish or stove,
was not only odd but interesting.
Their theory is to buy nothing and
sell nothing. All must go to work
very early in the morning, and work
Just so hard and long as they choose,
unless an edict is issued by the pru-
dent for more diligence. Now, thepru
dent consists of twelve men selected
by their own body when vacancies
arise They hold life tenure. They
settle all disputes, regulate all indus
tries and divide the crops. The du-
ties of their Office would seem enor-
nous, but it appears they have little
to do.
There are really no stores, but there
are three large buildings used assstore-
houses, where the different products
are nicely kept. In one of these were
stored vegetables, corn and other
things, in another were stored woven
fabrics and tanned skins and robes;
in the other was Whiskey.

BABY'S NAME.

Then father took the Bible down,
And in his clear old fashioned hand
Upon its Record pages brown
He wrote the name as it should stand.
But protest came from all the rest
At givings such a little fairy
The dearest, sweetest and the best,
That antiquated name to carry.
And aunts and second cousins cry
"a name SO worn and ordinary
Gould not be found if one should try
As that same appellation Mary
And DER and DER again they laud
Her yellow ours, her baby grace,
"Oh. call her sEthelind,' or Maud
Or Christine, for her angel face"
stBut time will change this golden fleece
To match the eyes in dusky splendor;
Far better name her Beatrice
Or 'Imogen,' serene and tender"
ooh, name the child for Aunt Louisa,
For She good soul, is well-to-do,
The compliment is sure to please her,
And we can call the darling Lou
Most prudent counsel, all too late!
'Twixt Malachis and Matthews pages
Appears, interchangeable as fate,
The name beloved OF all the ages.
The Ancient gem, its purity
Unspoied shall grace our latest beauty
Sometime on dearer lips to be
The synonym OF love and duty.
And gracious womanhood adorn,
However fortunes gift may vary,
Till on day like Easter morn
She hears the Master call her Mary.

A Talk About Murderers.

New York Letter: One of the most
experienced members of the detective
torce of New York was talking a day
Or two ago about murderers. ''Ihe
old superstition, he said, "about
murderers being unable to sleep i'll the
night has more truth in it than people
may imagine. I've had a great deal
OF experience in murder cases during
the past thirty years, and l know
what I'm talking about With out

they have been tried and found guilty.

being caught has more to do in pre-
venting them from enjoying repose at

had been dead two yearswhen the wom-
an first began to attract my atten-

at or o'clock in the morning. My
room was the fourth story back OF

that the lights were always burning
when got in in solitary window In the
back OF the house on the next street.
At daylight the gass was turned out,

same regularity as soon as dawn ap-

and after she had turned out thegas
she always raised the shade and open

She always looked heavy eyed. and
after daylight had got thoroughly In,
to the room she would throw herself

A Bird Study.
From the Atlantic Monthly.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
The mocking- birds emotions were
so intense and so originally displayed
that he was a constant source of in
terest. A hand glass lying face up
gave opportunity for an am.sing ex-
hibition one day. Leaning over 1t, he
pulled out every feather, opened his
mouth, and tried the glass with his
beak at every point. Meeting no sat
isfaction, he turned to leave it, but
first peeped slyly over 5he edge to see
if the stranger were still there, no
doubt unable to get over his surprise
at seeing q bird in that position and
ready to meet his bill at every point.
The same glass standing up brought
out a different demonstration. He
stood in front of it and swelled
himself out, while the feath-
ers of the shoulders and breast
we're erected. Then he opened his
mouth wide and attacked the
reflection, but was astonlshed to meet
the glass. He touched the bill OF his
double with his own, and moved all
the way to the bottom of the glass,
not taking it away, but apparently try
ing to seize the one which opposed his.
He lowered his head as though to take
hold of the enemy's foot, then pulled
Himself up as straight as soldier,
wings and tail constantly jerking with
excitement. After indulging for some
time in these proceedings, he lodged
around behind the glass, plainly eX-
pecting to pounce upon his opponent,
and surprised not to do so. Several
times he drew himself up, swelled out
his breast, and clustered before the
glass. Once he flew up with the ret1ec-
tion in the manner of q. quarrelsome
cock, and upon reaching che top OF
the glass naturally went over and
landed behind, without an enemy In
sight. Upon this he stared moment,
as if dazed, then shook himself out
and flew away in evident disgust.
The deliberate, leisurely dressing
of plumage with which many birds pass
away the dull hours is an oe-
cupation in which the mock
ing-bird never had time to indulge.
He was a bird of affairs; he had too
much on his mind for lettering. Afew
sudden, thourough shakes, a rapid
snatching CT the wing and tail feathers
through the beak, or, after bath, a
violent beating the air with both
wings while holding tightly to the perch
with his feet, suaiced for his toilet. Not.
withstanding his apparent careless
ness, his plumage was soft and exquls-
ite in texture, and when wet the downy
breast feathers matted together and
hung in locks, like hair. Through a
common magnifying-glass each tiny
barbule was seen to be ringed with
gray and silvery white, SO finely that
the rings could hardly be seen. !.

A Story OF Arthur Gilman.
n the Roston Evening Record.

From the Boston Evening Record.
A number of architects were talking
the other day oftnepeculiarities OF the
bright men Of the profession in Boston,
and they agreed that the late Arthur
Gilman, who designed the City Hall,
Arlington Street Church and Hort1cul'
tural Hall, took the palm for dashlne
selfconfidence. The way in which his
practical humor cropped out amid
Seemingly adverse conditions was re-
called with twog good stories. Though
he made O. good deal OF money he
managed to spend a good deal more,
and the result was that he applied on
a certain occasion to take the poor
debtors oath. To be able to take this
oath a person has to satisfy the mag
istrate that he is not worth $50 IN the
world outside certain exempted ar
ticles of property The questions put
to Mr.. Gilman by the counsel for the
creditor elected the fact that he was
boarding at the fremont House, then
kept by that prince of landlords, Pa
ran Stevens, at the rate OF S4o a
week.
ais not this a high price for man
who hasn't got $50 in the World!
asked the lawyer. The architect hesl-
tated about answering this trouble
some question, but on being told by
the Judge that he must reply to 1t, he
exclaimed:
eyes, your honor, I have often told
Mr.. Stevens that he was charging me a
GREAT deal too much, and l wish your
honor would present the matter to
him in this light. =,
The GOODNESS OF this speech convulsed
it's hearers, and the judge, who knew
Gilman well in his social relations,
could not refrain from joining In the
merriment. The witty architect was
allowed to take the oath.
