TRENTON, September 24.-The coro-
ner's inquest in the Culbreath murder
case re assembled this morning. Mr..
James Minis, most estimable and re-
liable young man, testified in manly
manner. -
He lives near Antioch Church, some
eight miles below the courthouse. He
was at the church on, Monday evening
last, experimenting the erection of a
tombstone over his fathers grave.
About S o'clock in the afternoon some
twenty-five mounted men, some in dis.
guise, others without masks, passed the
church in the direction of the village.
He was standing within few feet of the
roadside when they passed. Several of
them spoke to him and called him by
name, and he recognized several Of the
party. Jasper Talbert, w. L. Mcdaniel,
W. L. Holmes, Dr.. w: E: Prescott,
VIM. Parkman, Memphis Culbreath,
Lou Prescott, Ned Bussey, one.eyed Will
son aud Collier Hammond were among
the number. Three of those mentioned
were partially disguised, but the others
we're not masked. A short while there
after he went out into pine thicket near
by and there saw Luther Bell and D. A..
j. Bell, Jr., who inquired if q crowd of
men had passed. Minis told them that
he had seen certain crowd Of men,
giving the names of some of them. Bell
said, "That's our crowd, and. we are
going to take him from the sheriff and
see if we cannot find out something about
the murder" Minis said that Bell did
not say who they we're going to take
from the sheriff.
The Mr.. Talbert mentioned by Minis
is Senator Talbert, and in justice to him
it is fair to state that Mr.. Talbert, who
was in the village to-day, says that Mr..
Minis is entirely mistaken as to himself,
that he was at home that evening sick in
bed and had DR.. Key in attendance on
him.
DR.. Hill, who attended Culbreath after
he was shot, testified that Culbreath told
him that Bill Parkman shot him in Ga.
ry's Office, and that Parkman and Wyatt
Holmes carried him out of the Office.
The other witnesses have sustained this
statement
The jury Of inquest adjourned at /
o'clock to meet again tomorrow. They
are working slowly, but are thoroughly
in earnest in trying to ferret out the per-
petrators of the brutal murder of Gull
breath.

relations existing between Mrs. Cul
breath and young Hammond is utterly
without foundation, and receives no ere.
dence from the people who knew her.
She is one of the most estimable ladies
in Carolina and il above suspicion.
Said our informant: II do not give you
these facts in justification of the action
of the mob that killed Culbreath. I de-
precate the sad occurrence as much as
anybody and heartily disapprove of their
course"

A Mohammedan Elopement.

A singular case of murder is reported TO
have occurred the other day at Habiganj,
in Assam. A respectable Mohammedan,
it appears, eloped with the wife of a Mu
nipuri gentleman of Assampara. The ag-
grieved husband, on becoming acquainted
with the circumstances of the affair, pro-
ceeded Immediately to the Mohammedan
and demanded the instant restoration of
his spouse, but on an explanation from the
seducer he was induced to return with a
present of Rs 300 instead of his wife.
This dubious transaction came to the knowl-
edge of the husbands S fellow-villagers, and
they, acting under stronger sense OF
wrong than appears to have actuated the
husband, proceeded in body to the Mo
hammedan's residence and murdered him.
The murder in due course was reported to
the police, who, on investigating the matter,
found that the Munipurees, some 200 in
number, were anxious to take upon them
selves the responsibility of the crime.
They stated that they all killed the man;
that no one took more prominent part
than another, and that they were all equally
guilty. Under the circumstances the police
had no alternative but to arrest the whole
body of villagers, and the case is now under
investigation. A Bengalee paper, in mar
rating the above circumstances, says =
'sWhat strange unity. We are afraid in
Bengalee village the Queens evidence
would have been forthcoming as soon as the
investigation began. Butin whole army
of Munipurees not single man could be
found out as Queens evidence" Alas for
the degeneracy of the Bengalees London
Globe.

Animals and Electricity.

The latest application of electricity is an
invention made in the interest toflion-tamers,
which consists of an apparatus of great
power, shaped like stick, about three feet
and a half in length. NJ Rauspach, the
inventor, is a lion-tamer, himself, who has
been "a good deal worried, during long
and successful professional career. He has
already experimental with It upon the
denizens of the cages of his menagerie, and
relates the different effects upon the brutes
Three of his lions receiving the shock i'm
mediately showed signs of the greatest
terror They were seized with trembling
and growled ftfully The tiger was more
quickly subdued, became stupefed, and
crouched in corner of the cage. Bruin
was more refractory to electricity, which
seemed scarcely to affect him. He would
growl and show his teeth, and was subdued
only after repeated discharges.
The most astonishing effects, however,
were perceptible in the boa constructor.
On receiving the discharge, the specimen
from Cayenne, nearly twenty feet in length,
became at once paralyzed, and remained
motionless for six hours afterwards. When
he recovered, he showed, signs of numbness

The First Thousand Dollars.

The first thousand dollars young man
earns and saves will generally settle the
question of business life with him. 1t is
the fruit of personal industry. He gives
his time and his labor for it. While he is
thus earning and saving it, he must earn
two, or three, or perhaps four times as much
to pay his current expenses. He is conse-
quently held sternly to the task of industry
for considerable period. The direct con
sequence to him is steady, continuous and
solid discipline in the habits of industry, in
patient, persistent, forecasting and self-de-
nying effort, breaking up all the tendencies
to Incidence and frivolity, and making him
an earnest and watchful economist of time.
He not only learns how to work, but he
also acquires the love of work; and, more
over, he learns the value of the sum which
he has saved out of his earnings. He has
toiled for it; he has observed its slow in
crease from time to time; and in his esti-
nation it represents so many months or
years of practical labor.

PETRIFIED WooD.-The petrifed wood
which is so abundant in the United States
TERRITORIES of Arizona, Wyoming, and
Rocky Mountain regions, is rapidly becom-
ing utilized by the practical Americans.
In San Francisco there is now factory
for cutting and polishing these petrifactions
into mantel pieces, tiles, tablets, and other
architectural parts for which marble or slate
is commonly used. Petrifed wood is saib
to be susceptible of finer polish than
marble, or even onyx, the latter of which
it is driving from the market. The raw
material employed comes mostly from the
forests Of petrifed wood along the line of
the Atlantic and Pacific Railway. Sever
al other companies have also been formed
to obtain concession of different portions of
these forests. Biologists will regret the
destruction of such interesting primeval re-
mains, and some steps ought to be taken to
preserve certain tracts in their original
state EnQiIaeeriRQ.

The Mole.

The mole is a splendid architect and
sure builder. 1t constructs perfect subter-
ranean galleries. The nest is wonderful
building, bearing Immediately above it as
much earth thrown up as would fill mod
erately sized wheelbarrow The soil roof
of the nest is SO strong that an OK may
with safety stand on it, in spite of its being
surrounded and intersected by runs, by
which the family can separately escape in
case of sudden danger. In one l saw there
were at least, within foot from the nest,
four main runs, and these main runs again
had three immediate branch runs toward
the nest from the wheat field, making II
within two feet of the nest, while there
were many escape runs toward the surface
for hiding. A favorite place for nests is
about old broad hedge roots, where the
moles have plenty of room, and where their
nests are concealed by the underground,
which again protects their surface runs
from being trampled by the hoofs of horses
or cattle And the moles nesting on either
side of the hedge stick religiously to their
own side of the find Between the nest
and the water there is main run, and to
an inexperienced eye its only distinguish
ing feature is that it is somewhat more di-
rect than the other runs But the mole
catcher observes it in an instant, and he
catches most moles there at the time when
the moles are returning home from their
food or water. 1t is wonderful how the
moles find their long ways home, and it is
remarkable the distance they travel every
twenty-four hours, in the ins and outs and
confusing number of intersected runs.
Moles multiply very fast; they pair for the
season, and breed four or five times every
year; and they are among the few animals
which have preponderance of males. Their
young run about shortly after they are
born, and are taught to run in the main
run first, the parents leading the way.
The mole is said to be affectionate, and to
brave death for its offspring or its mate,
and to be found sometimes starved to death
beside trapped mate. 1t prefers dry
loan or sands soil, and does not much fre-
quent stiff clay soil, which is both wet and
cold and difficult to burrow in. For every
one that is to be found in clay soil ten will
be found in dry loam And it is note
worthy fact, if true, as it is said to be, that
there are no moles in Ireland.-Good
