SHIFT THE RESPONSIBILITY.

A tragedy was enacted ct Brandon, a
small town in Mississippi, on the LIST
of July, which. if governments would
only assume their proper responsible
tiles, might not have occurred.
Joe Bolton, local agent of the Queen
& Crescent Railroad, was engaged to
be married to a Miss johnson, of Mer-
idian. The match, however, was
broken off and Bolton was forbade the
johnson residence. The lady soon af-
forwards married a young lawyer OF
Meridian, and four months after her
marriage gaze birth to a child which
Jled TO a confession by the wife that she
had been seduced by Bolton. The hUs-
was overcome with shame and grief,
but the father was enraged, and
boarded the first train for Brandon, and
on his arrival walked into Bottoms Of
fee and without q Wor shot the Sc
Queer OF his daughter dead,
No one will blame the justly enraged
parent for thus wreaking summary
vengeance upo1 the destroyer. Of his
daughters life. His deed will be ap-
plauded by everyone who hears of it.
And. those who would inaugurate Grim
inaI proceedings against the avenger of
his ownand his daughters wrong will
be told that it Is the unwritten law of
America that when q wretch seduces a
maiden it is the right of the father, or
brother, or some Of her near kindred to
take the life OF her defiler. This would
be the strong point of DEFENDANTS plea
before the jury, if the case went so far
as 70 go to trial, and doubtless would
secure his acquittsi Popularsentiment
would applaud such q verdict, too,
though st might be in theface of IN
disputed facts that the killing was, &C
cording &c strict interpretations of the
written lev, unlawful.
This unwritten law which says the
seducer O. a maiden may be killed with
impunity by her relatives, is doubtless
based upon the fac. that the seduced
maiden's ';fe Is destroyed-even worse
than destroyed, tor she must endure
living death, life whose sweetness is
ever turned 10 gall by the consciousness
Of lost innoceLce-and justice demands
life for life. Every time a destroyer
of female chastity goes down be-
fore The -outratnH maiden's natural
protectors, popular sentiment APP
plluds the deed. Then the question
naturally arises II the spoiler
of female innocence, according TO the
popular notion of justice forfeits his
life. ought net that sentiment toerystal-
lie into a written Law making seduction
a capital oGense. and thus relieve the
father, the brother, or other male rela-
tives of the responsibility of either
taking the lie OF the seducer or walk
ing through the remainder of their
lives with an dnwas Led stain upon the
family name, which they lack the
courage and the manhood to remove by
killing the william who produced the
stain We certainly think Il the crime
of seduction is so heinoEs in the
estimation of popular sentiment .Gs to
be worthy Of deeth, then our govern
ment most assuredly ought 70 assume
the responsibility of taking that for
feited lie, and reEeve individuals of'the
undesirable task. That the seducer
does forfeit his life by wrecking the life
Of his victim, We think is beyond dis
pltst on.

a dozen more rivers in this State, that
can be made to develope untold wealth

Sanitation Tor All.

Or. George Derby says, "The vel are
made sick, and the sick are made worse,
for the simple lack of Gods pure sir
and water" There is the whole matter
in a nutshell.
If our neighbor throws the waste
from the kitchen, or the slops out on the
ground, we are injured by the act more
or less. The law does not say that a
man shall throw everything he sees fit
upon the ground IN his yard, neither
does It say that man shall have the
privilege of making nuisance of him
self, unless he pays the penalty for his
act.
In seeking the advantages of living in
community, we necessarily are more
or less dependent upon the actions of
our neighbors for our social and home
comforts. Naturally, in living in any

When Do Animals Roare

There is an almost universal belief that
the lion roars when he is hungry, and in
wild state when in search of prey, but the
writer ventures to say that, like the bears
hug and other almost proverbial express
sions of the kind, the idea is altogether
erroneous. Probably certain verses in the
Bible, more especially in the Psalms,
such as 1.-THE lions roaring after their
prey" etc, and passages of similar ma
ture have given rise to this impression
But, let it be asked, would so cunning an
animal as the lion, when hungry and in
search of his dinner, betray his approach
and put every living creature within
miles Of the spot thoroughly on the qui
vive, by making the forest echo again
with his roaring? AsSuredly not. for a
more certain method of soaring his prey
he could not posi- bly, adopt. All quad
rupeds, more especially the deer tribe,
well know and dread the voice of their
natural enemy. Even domestic animals
instinctively recognize and show fear on
hearing the cry OF a wild beast.
In India the sportsman when out in
camp during the hot weather months
often finds himself far away from towns
and villages, in some wild spot in the
depths of the jungle. Here the stiffness
of he night is constantly broken by the
calls Of various creatures inhabiting the
neigh boring forest-the deep, solemn
boot of the hor ned owl, the sharp call of
the spotted deer, or the louder bell Of the
sambur. But these familiar sounds at
tract no notice from the domestic animals
included in the camp circle. But should
n panther on the opposite hill call his
mate, or n prowling tiger passing along
the river bank mutter his complaining
night moan, they one and all Immediately
show by their demeanor that they recoG-
nize the cry of beast of prey. The old
elephant chained up beneath the tama-
rind tree stays for a moment swaying his
great body backward and forward, and
listens attentiyeIy. His neiGhbor, gray
Arab horse, with pricked-up ears, gazes
uneasily in the direction the sound APP

Some of the wax "figGers" in this mu-

gross caricatures OF those great men. The
figure representing Mr.. Lincoln was en-
veloped in a most i'll fitting suit of black

had a very feeble expression of counte-
nance. The idea that Abraham Lincoln,

possessed of such feeble, almost idiotic,
expression of coUntenance as depicted in

Sub-Irrigation for Florida.

The question of sub-irrigation as a
practical scheme, is just now receiving
great deal of attention. As yet, how
ever, no method advanced seems to quite
cover the ground in anything like a
proper manner. 1t is a noticeable fact
that the many originators, or rather the
original iRrentorS of the many methods
agitated, are counted by the score. Most
of these gentlemen advise suitable
trenches, partly filled with broken brick,
bottles, tin cans, palmetto roots--dny-
thing that will make the bottom of the
ditch porous enough TO readily yield the
water carried by it to the surrounding
soil. OF these methods we have nothing
to say, except this: they may be good or
bad, but, taken all around, they are
merely an attempt to do something with
nothing.
The idea advanced in this paper is not
original with us-it is an English plan,
tried and successful, and known to engi-
neers in this country some fifteen
years. 1t was originally intended as a
method of removing house slops.
The drains which we shall describe
act two-fold purpose. First, that of
sub-irrigation, and second, that of carry
ing off excessive moisture due to heavy
rains or long continued wet weather.

We cannot long withho old the influence

of social good or evil popular, and il is
well that it il so. The, public at large
soon come to insist upon it that each
man shall so regulate his mode OF living
and actions as to secure the greatest
safety for all
Now, if we have public improvements
going on, we are well aware that it is
not phiIanthropic movement alone, nor
is the interest OF any one satisfied when
his own immediate surroundings are
perfect.
That which affects the health OF one
is liable to affect the health of all. AS
regards the home interests and the
health, thank God that the poorest
stands on the same level with the rich
est, and it should be so. Regarding the
sewerage question for Palatka, it should
be borne in mind that sewers are intend
ed for all, that the residence portion
must be considered before the business
portion. In the residence part of the
city the need of sewers is greater than
in any other part, for there Is where
sewage is made.
In looking into ibis matter, let US re-
member that the poorest cabin covers
just as true and good citizens as do the
most expensive houses in the town.
