Must be Enforced.
TArkanSaw Traveller. I

Abraham Stockton, who during many
years lived in the southern part of Ar
kansaw. was, lin honor to his great learn
ing and also to the fact that he had
once killed mad dog, elected justice
of the peace. The people were very
anxious to see case taken before the
old man, for every man knew that
StocktoR's opinion would be one which
the supreme court could not reverse.
The opportunity came. A man named
Eckford sued Mr.. Chesley. The litiga-
tion grew out of dispute concerning
the ownership of a lot of sheep. A ju-
~ was impaneled the evidence was TAX
en-. and the lawyers made their speech
es. The verdict of the jury declared
that the sheep should be equally iivid-
ed. Before discharging the jury the
magistrate said /:
Gentlemen, you've did your duty but
you amt made no PROVISIONS fur the
cost in this thing. The constitution of
the United states says that, when jury
men make such an oversight, the judge
shall take the matter into his own
hands. Gentlemen. I'll charge you 50
apiece. | have heard a heap o. people
talk about the judges charge to the ju-
ry, an [ reckon some o. you will talk
about this one, but if you say anything
outen the way I'll whale the whole kit
an bilin' o. YER
'Your HONOR said lawyer, you
can't make the jury pay

we don't. They don't git bite to eat
till the things settled. Boys, git your

Hints About Winter Pigs.

The farmer who is this year making
his first experiment in raising winter
pigs. would do we'll to bear in mind,
that in his zeal to make h s brood sow
pe2s snug and COSY, he is every whit as
likely to overrun the mark, as the re-
verse. His anxiety to have everything
as warm and comfortable as possible,
will be very apt to lead him to close all
means of ventilation, to exclude even
proper amount of light, or to give the
little strangers no chance whatever for
exercise. Then he will probably be as
tonished to find that his pigs, though
seemingly healthy and thriving, sud-
denly begin to die off. It is not from
being lain upon, evidently it surely
can not be from starvation and cold
is out of the question. There is no APP
parent cause to his mind for this start
ling mortality and yet the explana-
tion is simple enough, viz, vltiated at
mosphere, and lack of exercise. Farm
animals are not so widely different
from human beings In their physical
requirements, as many are inclined to
think. "It's only for the hogs" is an
argument that appeals only to the un-
enlightened. Make your pens as warm
and tight as you please, but, for pork
and profits sake, give them decent ven
tilation and plenty of light. Give
your young pigs chance to run about,
and stretch themselves, too. If your
pens are in piggery. let there be a
small opening into another and larger
pen. where the pigs can scamper around
and pick up little extra feed, thrown
i'm from time to time or if they are
in your barn, make an opening through
which your pigs can get out to the barn
floor, and ioot about among the grass
seeds. In eth er case, it is a good plan
to have small, hinged doors, opening
outward Ito the south, If possible),
which you can open on sunny days. and
let your pigs out for run in the open.
Keep them in close confinement, and
failure is certain. You can no more
expect to raise winter pigs successfully,
in small, stuffy pen, than you can
hope to grow Jacqueminot roses in
your rellar Il. G. MILLER IN Ameri-

the franchise act through Parliament, were
not true, though they loyalty assisted in

Murdered by Indians.

DEAIING, N. NJ, Nov. 9.-The messenger
who brought the news here of the killing Of
Mrs. Shy and her son Saturday was so ex-
cited that he gave an incorrect account of
the Indian outrage on the Missouri-Florida
Cattle Company's ranch. Mr.. Shy's house
was attacked, but he, with his wife and son,
managed to escape and arrived here to-day.
Only one Of the family was injured-Mr.
Shy's son, who was wounded in the thigh.
1t appears, however, that John Yeater and
wife, from Pitts county, Mo-, who left here
Saturday for the Florida Missouri ranch,
were murdered By the Indians within five
miles of their destination. Capt. Chal1ee
and company, who went in pursuit of the
marauders. were surprised by the Indians.
One scout was killed and soldier wounded.

No ELECTION in this State since the war
attracted such general interest as the one
just past, and the ongratulatory messages,
received by GENERAL LEE, from all parts of
the country, attest the delight his success
occasioned. Virginia honored herself when
she honored General Fitz Lee with the ex-
ecution of her laws, and no fear need be
entertained for the faithful manner with
which he will discharge his high trust. He
is proud of his State and will do all
in his power to restore her honor and
credit and make her prosperous and to
prosper. A soldier bred. he is none the
less imbued, by education, with the
doctrine of the supremacy Of the civil
over tho military power, and while he will
doubtless do all he can to foster and stimu-
late the military spirit in The Common
wealth, he will always be found the true
supporter OF the superiority of the civil

another proof of the attachment Of Virginia

Throwing Yitriol.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Joseph Schneider liesin
a critical condition in his home, 649, 3rd
street. His eyes, mouth, and breast are hor-
ribly burned with vtriol, and the attending
physician says there is some doubt about his
recovery, and that in any event he will lose
his sight. Some time since Schneider Dor.
rowed, it is said, $1,000 from Mrs. Stadlc-
man. He failed to pay it, and she sued him
and obtained judgment for 5000. This was
not paid until about two weeks ago, when
Scneider got married. Before the marriage
he is said to have compromised the matter
with Mrs. Stadleman by paying her $50
Last night he accidentally met Mrs. Stadle-
man at the corner of State and Thirty sec
ond street. They had some words, when
the woman, quickly as flash, dashed the
entire contents Of large bottle Of vitriol
into his face. He was removed to a neigh
boring drug store, where it was found that
the liquid had penetrated his eyes, run down
his mouth, causing his tongue to swell so
that he can scarcely speak, and then trickled
all over the upper portion of his body. He
was removed to his home The woman es-
capped after throwing the vitriol and will
probably not be arrested, as Schneider in
formed the police that he did not intend to
prosecute, and requested she be not arrested.

FROM THE way in which certain inhuen-
tial republican newspapers of New York
now talk, it seems that the importation of
the Western bloody shutters and South
haters into that State was as ill-advised and
unfortunate for the republican cause there
as it proved to be in Virginia. The patri-
otto people Of the country are tired of sec
tional animosity. They want peace; and
the war has been over so long that most Of
those engaged in it are dead, and hardly
any OF the few survivors on either side are
now particularly solicitous that posterity
should know (which side was right" That
solicitude is only felt by Senator Ed
munds and the other South haters who
seriously handicap their own party.
