But the absurd and ridiculous aspect of
the condemnation Of the printers boycott
at Richmond, by the local Bourbon mag
mates and magnlhcoes, arose from the fact
that these very same ''pomps and vanities"
were at that very moment engaged them
selves in a most monstrous boycott. In ad-
vance Of the subsequent legislative action
and executive proclamation, they had met
In public assembly, denounced the decision
Of federal court, aud bound themselves
by resolutions to boycott the states tax,
receivable coupons and all persons who dared
to exercise their lawful right to deal in or
use these coupons These very same fel-
lows, indeed, were notorious as the worst
and meanest boycotters ever heard of, be-
cause they had reduced boycotting to an
exact science, and always employed 1t as a
perfected art against everybody and every
thing that incurred their terrible
displeasure. Republlcans-men, women,
and children Of all degrees,
colors, and vocations - had for
many years endured their merclless In
terdict and prescription in all affairs, public
and private. Readjusters had been sub
| jected to the same process from these eX-
alted opponents Of "honor and honesty"
Nay, before the Richmond Wing had be-
come the organ of Readjustment, much less
of Republicanlsm, these same worthless had
procured the Richmond chamber of com
merce to organize a boycott against that
journal. because 1t dared to differ with
them in their scheme (now fully revealed
to all men) to sell out Virginia and her
railroads to anti-Virginia control. They
actually had committee appointed
to execute this boycott, whose mem
bers, armed with list OF the
subscribers and advertisers OF the Wing,
went about warning every one on the list
under terror of pains and penalties Of boy.
colt, to renounce the Wig utterly. OF
course, 1t was preposterous for such men
to denounce what they had so long and
atrociously practiced themselves, and what
they were then buslly employing against
what they had once declared to be "sacred
and inviolablc contracts" The boycott
was wrong, perhaps, in the instance cited
but 1t did not lie In the mouths OF these
gentry to pronounce anathema maraaatha
against It.

Brother Nat, Jim and l, Bob, and q
little negro boy went in swimming one
Sunday morning in the mill pond near
tod US he would whip us if we went
swimming on Sunday, but we disobeyed
him. He found it out that afternoon.
r would not punish us because it was
Sunday, but he took us bright and early
in the morning to the barnyard. We
knew what was coming. He took o
single and bored holes through it with
a gimlet, and then he made us bend over
n log. You can imagine the result. He
punished Jim and Nat and me, and we
were all crying when he went up to Bob,
who was leaning over the log waiting
his turn. Father raised the paddle.
Suddenly Bob pulled half-dollar out
of his pocket, and twisting his head
around at father with a most humorous
expression of countenance, he said:
dad, I'll give you this to let me
off, at the same time Offering father
the half dollar.
We were ali watching him as intently
as our pains would let us. Father stood
with the paddle uplftcd. Bob contin-
uod in his leaning position, holding the
lalf-dollar between his uplifted fingers
with that grimace unalterab!e on his
features. Bob was as cool as a cucum-

Too Much Rum.

Every ship that takes missionaries to
Africa carries enough poisonous rum and
gin to offset in evil the good effect of
the labors of a thousand missionaries.
Since the opening of the Congo region
enormous quantities of this stuf-so
vile that there is no market for it in any
civilized country--have been shipped to
the savages by wealthy companies in
London and Holland. Other companies
food the German possessions in Africa
with the worst liquors that ever were
made Missionaries in all parts of the
Dark Continent are now pleading with
European Governments for the restric-
ton or abolition of this traffic. ! hey
will probably discover that Great Britain
and other Colonizing nations open neg
Iected .ners Of the earth for the profits
of trade and not to spread the benefits
of religion, and that the trade in bad
rum and worse gin is too profitable to
be sacrificed to what traders would call
sentiment The truth is that the most
inviting fields for missionaries who long
to save the savaGes of Africa are London,
Amsterdam and Berlin. If they could
convert the traders OF those cities and
the courts that protect and encourage
them, they would be of great service to
| the heather who are perishing under the
influences of European civilization

Ling Chi.
THE STORY OF A YOUNG CHINESE WOMAN
WHO WAS SLICED INTO A THOUSAND
PIECES
From a Canton letter.


The execution ground yesterday was
the scene of most horrible tragedy. A
young girl. aged eighteen, was put to
death by the barbaric method of Ling
Chi, or being cut into thousand pieces.
The girl, who was married some time
ago, lived with her husband, her father
and mother-in law, in small village in
the district of Wo Ping, or Peace, in
the department of Wal Chau. One day
a few months ago her husband, father
and mother in law had gone to their
duties in the field, and the yo5sng wife
was left at home to prepare the meals
and look after the pigs. Sheprepared
kind of congee for the pigs, along
with which she boiled root said to be
very good for fattening pigs and sheep
While she went out calling the pigs her
husband, his father and mother, along
with a neighbor, returned home The
calling of pigs is a sight and sound fire.
quently met with in travelling through
villages in China, as the po-kers are
allowed to wander along the roads AMI
villages at will. The party returning
from their work hot and thirsty wished
for something to drink, and seeing the
congee took some and drank it of
The root which had been boiled with
the congee, though good for sheep and
pigs, is bad for man. The four persons
gradually developed symptoms of pois-
oning and ultimately died. The clans
| people of the deceased took the young
girl to the District Magistrate and pre-
ferred charge of poisoning her hus
band, father and mother in law and a
female neighbor. To make the charge
appear more plausible under the cir
| cumstances, which were all in her favor,
| they intimated that she had poisoned
| her relatives because she was afraid OF
| being discovered that she had been I'M
faithful to her marriage vows. The
magistrate made a strict investigation,
and no evidence being produced that
she was guilty of infdelity, he decided
| to release her. To this the clan objected
most strenuously, so the case was re
ferred to the Project. The Prefect's de
cision corroborated that of the Distric
Magistrate, but the clanspeople were
bent upon her destruction, so the cast
was referred TO the Provincial Judge
His Judgment correspondent with those
| of his two subordinates. Still the
clanspeople were not satisfied So tn,
case was brought before the tribunal o
His Excellency the Nlceroy. The Vice
roy decided that the young girl should
be put to death By Ling Chi, and sh,
was chopped into thousand pieces.
