OUTKAGEs.-On Thursday night last two
negroes called at the farm house of William
A. Palmer, on the Rappahannock river, in
Middesex county, Va, and told him that
his aunt, living five miles distant, was i'll
and desired to see him. Mr.. Palmer hastily
dressed himself and started toward the
stable to get his horse when the negroes
attacked him aud knocked him senseless
with club. After taking from his pocket
S1G5 they carried him into the house and
set fire to the building. A younger brother,
who was sleeping upstairs, was aroused by
smoke and ran down stairs. Near the door
he fell over his brother and dragged him
from the house. The house was entirely
destroyed The assailants are not known
About dusk last evening Mrs. George K.
Hill, wife of farmer living about four
miles from Snow Hill, Worcester county,
Md, was feloniously assaulted by Robert
Collins, negro. Meeting her in a lonely
spot near her home the brute beat her into
insensibilty, and then outraged her person
in the most horrible manner Mrs. Hill
regained consciousness shortly after and
gave the alarm. A large party of armed
men started in pursuit, and in q short time
track ed the scoundrel to house, W hich they
surrounded. 1t was first agreed to resort
to lynch law, but wiser counsel prevailed,
and deputy sheriff took possession of the
prisoner and conveyed him to the county

The WELCOME, hospitable and even en-
thusiastic manner in watch the Prince OF
Wales has been received in Ireland goes lar
to disprove the stories that are printed here
about the disloyaty of the people of that
country, and strengthen the statement made
there that the stories referred to are only
disseminated in this country to stimulate
contributions to the fund upon which those
whose imagination creates them laugh in
their sleeves and grow fat. Apeople driven
almost to desperation by the oppression Of
their government, rs the Irish are reported
to be, would not give such reception to
one who will soon be ct the head of that
government as has just been accorded to the

WASHINGTON. D. g., April IS, 1885
1t is rumored to-day from information
that certainly should be reliable, that ex-
Congressman Jno. Goode, of Norfolk, will be
appointed Solicitor General, and that con.
sequently no more appointments in the
Department of Justice will be- made from
Virginia.
There is rumor afoat here to-day that
General Martin Mcmahon, of New York
will probably be made Collector of the port
of New York.
The report that three of the daily news.
papers of this city, the Post, Republican, and
Critic, now all belong to ore aud the same
firm, and will all be published in the same
building and printed on the same press, and
thus save expense and consolidate bust
ness by supporting all kinds ofpolitics, is
generally credited here, but will not, it is
thought, be profitable enterprise.
The impression of the result of the call
made by the territorial Congressional dele
cations upon the President last Saturday, as
derived from one of the callers, is that it
was rather unsatisfactory.
It is said TO-. day that Secretary Lamar
intends to appoint twenty colored men 10
positions in the Interior Department, but,
it is understood, that colored men already
in Office will be removed to make places for
them.
The democratic members of the Virginia
Congressional delegation met again this
morning at the Capitol to decide upon some
for federal positions in the
two black districts of their State, which are
now represented by republicans. Col. Ca

A NARROW EsCAPE.-I.ast Thursday
morning, Pleasant Christian WORTHY, COL
ored, of Liberty, Bedford county, awoke
and found his wife, who had been sick
some time, apparently dead Friends wei e
called in and decided that she was no more.
The funeral preparations were made, and
the funeral sermon had been preached in
the church before large congregation,
when the attending physician, who had
just heard of the circumstances, hurriedly
appeared. He stopped the funeral, dis
missed the mourners, opened the coffin and
had the body taken back home. His sus-
picions of premature action were fully veri-
lied when an examination was made Res
toratives were applied, and the woman is
now in fair way to recovery.

AMONG the callers upon the President last
Saturday was delegation of colored men,
who assumed to be leaders of their race.
They wanted the President to assure them
that he would look after the interests OF the
colored people. After they had said all
they had t, .ay, the President took news
paper out of his pocket containing an arti-
Gle sigued BY one OF the delegation which
was incendiary in IT'S character, and
stating that it would cost millions
of lives to inaugurate Cleveland. The
feelings of the author were rendered con-
spicuously apparent. This shows that the
President generally knows about what he is

Torture in Russian Prisons

A Nhilst imprisoned in the Troubletsk OF
Bastion has managed to communicate with
the outside world He says the prisoners
are almost starved on mouldy food. Disa-
greeabie diseases prevail. The use of combs
and soap is forbidden. Jailors are cruel.
Vermin are abundant. Rats often eat dying
prisoners. This is almost as bad as dys-
pepsia. But the torments of dyspepsia need
not always be endured, for Browns Iron
Bitters will conquer the disease. Mrs. Will
liams, of Starkvlle, Miss, was tormented
with dyspepsia and her daughter with de-
bility. Browns Iron Bitters relieved both.

THE MALONE statement to the enec' .n"'
during the democratic administration o' VI.
State government the jails were cro"aeo
with insane people. but that as soon as 'no
late Malone regime commenced that conn'-
ton was changed, and all the lunatics IN
the tails of the counties contrbutary TO 'ne
Western Asylum comfortably accommo-
>dsted at that institution, was repeated 30
often that ie obtained some credence among
neonle uniformed upon the subject. Inc
recent annual report of the able and ethcient
Superintendent of the Western Luna,ic
Asvlum proves the utter fallacy OF the
statement referred to, and shows that tne
necessary buildings for the accommodation
of the luuatics previously conhneo ID jams
were erected at the asylum, and that tne
sheriffs of the counties in which those luna
tics were confined were directed to prlog
them. and that many of them had been
brought, TO the asylum before the Mahone'
ties took possession of the institution. But
this is only another of the many g'arlng
instances of the utter recklessness tnat
c1aracterizes Mahoneite assertions.
