SHOCKING TRAGEDY.

A Wife and Moth r p ut Aside For a Younger
Love, Kills Her Two Children and Ends
Her Own Life-The Horrible sSight that
Greeted the Guilty Couple.
EVANSVILLE, IND, July "a terrible
tragedy took place at Howden, Warrick
County, thirteen miles northwest of this
prietor of general store in that village,
has been living happily with his wife and
two children until three weeks ago, when
a cousin of Mrs. Hodgins named Miss
Ellen Smell, pretty school teacher of
Delaware County, came to spend the
summer vacation with them. Although
Hodgins is well advanced in years, a
criminal intimacy soon sprang up be-
TWEEN Hodgins and Miss Smell. This lat
ter fact becoming known to Mrs. Hold
gins, she yesterday morning ordered
Miss Smell to leave the house, but Hold
gins refused to let her go and insisted Oh
his wife going in her place.
About three O'Clock in the afternoon
Hodgins and Miss Smell went out for a
walk, and on returning in the evening
found the house deserted. Search was
made for Mrs. Hodgins and the children,
which resulted in the finding of the moth
er back in the barn living across the wa
ter-trough with her head down in the
water. Further search found the two
little children lying side by side with
gaping wound in their heads, whilst a
bloody axe lying beside them told only
too truly of the horrible deed.
The Coroper's Jury is now in session
holding an inquest over the remains.
Miss Smell is living in critical condition,
the sight of the terrible tragedy and the
knowledge that she was the direct cause
of it having completely Frustrated her.

GIVING THE LIE ITO PROPHECIES
Republican Representations Not Justified
by Results.

by Results.
The admirable behavior of the people
! of the South under the Democratic Adj
ministration can not but be encourag-
ing to an American statesman who de-
sires the peace and welfare of his coun-
try above all the interests of party. All
the Southern States are Democratic
and it was asserted by the Republicans
in the late Presidential campaign that
there was an alarming significance in
this: 1t would make Democratic vic
tory and restoration Southern victory
and restoration. 1t would be a triumph
of the South over the North-of dis
loyalty over Unionism. The South
would dictate the Democratic policy,
and through it govern the Union it had
attempted to destroy. This was the
repeated dingdong of the Republican
press all through the campaign of last
summer, and even Mr.. Blaine did not
hesitate to use it in his Indiana speeches,
as the shadow of approaching defeat
made him desperate.
But what do we see? A Democratic
Administration, brought in chiefly by
the united vote of the Southern States,
has been in power for three months,
and the disloyal hurly-burly has not be-
gun yet. There is no trace of it. There
are not fourth as many applications
for Office from the South as from the
North. The three members of the
Cabinet, Bayard, Lamar and Garland,
representative Southern Democrats,
are singularly cautious and conserv-
alive in the conduct of their depart
ments. There are no indications of
hungry clamor from the South. Most
of the re 'pectable patriotic and capable
Southern men appointed to important
Offices were appointed without their
solicitation, and one of them, General
Lawton, of Georgia, had the forbearance
to decline an honorable and desirable
position, in Difference to Republican
criticism. From the beginning the
people of the South have exhibited
patience, moderat on, self-respect
and high patriotic respect of North
ern opinion and the settlements of the
war. Instead of haughtily debating
the policy of the Administration, as the
Republican press predicted, we see
them doing nothing more alarming than
staying at home and attending to their
business.
At no time. from the end OF the war
to the close of the Arthur Administra-
ton, was the South more tranquil than
it is now. The spirit of the Southern
press is temperate and fair; the rela-
tons between the races are growing
steadily more cordial; the discomfort
and migratory movements among the
colored people observed from time to
time through Republican Administra-
4
word, the Democratic Administration
in the South has meant nothing but
composure and contentment.-!St.L Louis

AN OLD SCHOOL-MASTER.

| The Funny Way He Had of Rewarding
Industrious Scholars.
A hundred and fifty years ago. among
the German settlers of Pennsylvania,
there was a remarkable old school
master, whose name was Christopher
Dock. For three days he taught school
at little place called Skippack, and
then for the next three days he taught
at Stafford.
Whenever one of his younger scholars
succeeded in learning his A B c, the
good Christopher Dock required the
father of his pupil to give his son a
cook two eggs for him as treat in
honor of his diligence. To poor children
in a new country these were rewards.
At various other points in his progress
an Industrious child in one of Docks
schools received a penny from his
father and two eggs cooked by his
mother. All this time he was not
counted member of the school, but
only as on probation. The day on which
boy or girl began to read was the
great day. If the pupil had been
diligent in spelling, the master, on the
morning after the first reading day,
would give ticket carefully written or
illuminated with his own hand. This
read: ''Industrious-one penny" This
showed that the scholar was now really
received into the school,
There were no clocks or watches; the
children came to school one after an
other, taking their places near the mas
ter, who sat writing. They spent their
time reading out of the Testament until
all were there. But every one who
succeeded in reading his verse without
mistake stopped reading and came and
sat at the writing-table to write. The
poor fellow who remained last on the
bench was called Lazy Scholar.
The funniest of Docks rewards was
that which he gave to those who made
no mistake in their lessons. He marked
large o with chalk on the hand of the
perfect scholar. Fancy what a time
the boys and girls must have had try
ing to go home without rubbing out

THE LIVE DEMOCRACY,
Reasons Why 1t Has It's Allies Among
Young Men.

Reasons why IL HAS ltS AlI1eS among
Young Men.
The Democratic party has always in
cluded a very large proportion of young
men. Even in those States where the
Republican party was strongest the
younger set of voters naturally identi-
fed themselves with the Democrats, and
in New York, Indiana and the Southern
States the young Democracy has been
notably influential and wide awake
Why this should be is easy of explana-
ton. Democracy is the rule of the
people, and the term, therefore, is asso-
ciated with the idea of life, liberty and
progress. When the young man starts
in business on his own account he nat
urally adopts advanced and sprightly
methods of conducting his business
operations is, if he is young
man endowed with the elements of sue
cess. So it is with the young voter.
He naturally adopts live methods and
casts his ballot with the progressive and
popular party. The young Democracy
is full of hope, enthusiasm, tact and
unhagging energy. 1t is this element
of the party that induces the leaders to
undertake those great measures of re-
form for which there is so much need
from time to time; it is this element
that gives vigor and strength to the
whole party.
The Republican party can never COM
mend itself to the young men. 1t lacks
the freshness, the snap and the high po-
itical tone; its policy is invariably in
the line of fraud, and the only
lively element in the party is
found in the rings, and none but
the most INSCRIPTIONS trickster
is caught in the inner clique. The
rank and file of the Republican party
consists of old fogies while the leaders
are often little better than thieves.
Without resorting to fraud the Repub-
licans could never have remained in
power as long as they did.
The Democracy saved Virginia from
ruin two years ago. and the young De-
mocracy was conspicuous in the good
work. The Democracy saved the Fed
eral Government from wreck last fall,
and the young Democracy was also
conspicuous in that good work. And
the young men of the party will be
ready to enter the approaching cam
paign in Virginia this summer with the
same enthusiasm which has ALWAYS
characterized them. The election will
be an unusually important one, and
every Democratic vote must be poIled.
1t will be Mahone's last effort to revive
the Republican party in Virginia. With
Democratic majority of $4,000 the
State will be safe for some time to
come, and the outcast will be compelled
to remain forever in the rear.-Rich-
nsoad (Vd.) State.

THE CATTLE BLOCKADE

Arising From the Enforcement of the Kan
sas Quarantine Regulations-TheP roba-
BILE Solution OF the Difficulty by National
Interference.
WASHINGToN, d. c., July 9.-Addi-
tional protests are constantly being re-
ceived at the Interior Department from
Texas cattle men against the Kansas au-
thorities, who prevent Texas cattle from
being driven through what is known as
the Cherokee strip in the Indian Terri
tory into Kansas. Secretary Lamar has
repeatedly telegraphed that the cattle
men have perfect right to follow estab-
hshed trails provided cattle are free from
infectious diseases. 1t is on this point
that the differences of opinion arise.
The law of May Goth, 1884, prohibits
the driving from one State into another
of cattle having Texas fever. The Kan
sas authorities assume that Texas cattle
have the fever, and therefore have de-
clared a quarantine of ninety days
against all cattle from that State. AS
the cattle are driven north it is said the
disease disappears, and it is to reach the
Northern country that the Texas herders
desire to pass through the Cherokee
strip, but this strip is under the
jurisdiction of the United States
Court at Wichita, Kas., and
the officials are upholding the quaran-
tine declared by the State against Texas
cattle. In this predicament the Texas
herders appealed to Secretary Lamar
and Commissioner Atkins, and both de-
clare that the cattle should go through
the strip in question on the established
trails, but as the officials who were pre-
venting the cattle men from following
this course were not under the jurisdic-
tion of the Secretary of the Interior, or
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, no at
tention was paid to the directions of
either, and Secretary Lamar has now
asked the Acknowledgement to instruct
the United States officials to allow the
cattle to 60 through the strip. As orders
will now come from the proper source,
it is probable that the difficulty will be
finally settled.

TEACHERS.

The Duty of Parents to Sustain Those
Who Teach Their Children.
It seems hardly possible that parents
realize how greatly their influence is
felt for good or bad Gas the actions de-
cide) in the minds of public-school
teachers. just in proportion as you
lend your sympathy and sustain their
efforts toward improvement in advanc-
ing the elements of knowledge among
the pupils under their charge. just so
much more energy and zeal will respond
in the hearts of these public stewards, if
so be they are worthy instruments, capa-
BILE of sustaining their calling. Little
wrongs-productive of serious results
have oftentimes thoughtlessly been car
ried on by parents, or other members
of the family, canvassing faults or weak
points which some one may have dis
covered about the person of the teacher
in presence of children, the teachers
day pupils. Young minds are quick to
take the cue and their actions will be
nodded accordingly.
Now if it be necessary to canvass the
teacher, why not select some of the bet
ter points. Settle upon some act
worthy of commentator, and instill a
feeling of respect in the minds of these
young pupils. Their actions rarely fail
to impress the true valua ton in which
the teacher is held in the home circle.
Home government has a powerful in
fuence in the school-room. A we'll
trained child, one that is accustomed
to obey at home, rarely ever gives
trouble in school-room. They may be
mischievous and eager for fun, but not
willfully ugly. Said an old and ext
perienced teacher: ..Al care to know
of child's home influence and sur
roundings is to live with it six DAYS 10.
the school-room.'
1t is the districts duty and obligation
to support and sustain the worthy
merits OF their teachers. It is necessary
to the teachers faithful discharge Of
duty that they have the respect Of the
community wherein their labors extend.
The practice of allowing children to
relate all the incidents that transpira
during school and play hours, at home
or abroad, should not be tolerated.
Yet many parents do allow it, and even
question them to learn full particulars
in regard to childish differences, which
are OF universal occurrence when chill
dren congregate, and if left to die out
OF its own accord will produce but little
disturbance. but if carrieiS 1Nto the

WORSE THAN SLAVERY.

The Inhuman Manner In Which South
Carolina Convicts are Treated by Con-
tractors-A Strong Argument Against
the Leasing System.
CHARLESTON, s. c., July s.-About the
! middle of June, Governor Thompson was
Informed that the convicts employed in
grading the Savannah Valley Railway ID
Abbeville County were cruelty treated;
that one convict had died in consequence
OF brutal whipping by the guards;
that they were overworked, and
that excessive mortality prevailed
among them. The Governor Immediate
ly instructed the Superintendent of the
Penitentiary to investigate the charges.
Inc Official report which has Just been
made shows that sixteen deaths have
occurred since January Ist, out
OF total force of about 100
convicts; that seven are unable to work;
tnat the convicts are required to march
nearly three miles to their work with
shackles on their. legs; that on account
OF the bad quality of their food scurvy
has made it's appearance, and that there
has been excessive cruelty in Furnishing
the convicts. In describing the effects

jackson, who had temporary charge of
the convicts during the absence of the
regular Overseer, DIR. Pope, Penitentiary
physician, says: Gas evidence of the Sc
verify of the whippinss inflicted, would
state that the tissues have sloughed,
leaving an open sore eighteen inches long
by ten inches wide. The punishment
must have been very cruel. 1 doubt his
complete recovery" Other con-
victs were also cruelty beaten,
although the condition of those
now. at work is said to be very
fair. Jackson, the inhuman guard, has
fed to Georgia, but efforts are being
made to secure his arrest. There is great
Indignation at these outrages, and steps
will probably be taken at the next session
of the Legislature to discontinue the
practice of farming out the convicts to
railroad companies and phosphate mines.
