PARKERsBuna, W. Va, October

PARKERsBURo, w. Va, October 90.
Mt Pleasant, village in Ohio not
many miles from here, was the scene
Monday night Of q most terrible out
Yage. About midnight o band Of six
masked armed men went to the
house Of q wealthy citizen named
Parker, and with rails and axes beat
down the door and gained an en-
trance The only inmates of the
house were Mr.. Parker, On old man
and an elderly lady who keeps house
for them. They had both retired
when the maskers made their en-
trance. In q moment they were drag
ged from their beds and partly bound
with ropes. Then the robbers de-
manded of Parker where his money
was, and when, after various threats,
he refused to tell, they applied light
ed pieces of paper to the hands and
feet of both Parker and the woman
with fendishness that savored of
the middle ages, and continued to tor
ture these poor creatures until their
hands feet and limbs were terrible
burned Finding Parker immoyea-
bic, they ransacked every part of the
premises, and not discovering the
money, they bound the parties hand
and foot, put gags in their mouths
and then left taking with them a rifle
and revolver belonging to Parker.
About twelve hours after, neighbors
passing, saw the house with the door
smashed in, and going in Embossed
the victims, who were almost dead
Parker is so old and his wounds so
serious that he is not expected to
recover. The woman is not fatally in
iured though her feet and hands were
horribly burned. A band of indig-
nant citizens started in pursuit of the
robbers, but as yet they have not
been apprehended.

NANTUCKET OUT OF SEASON.
A Trip to the Cod Fishcry-Ciams for
naIt-Ami the Brcake

- hpP W tht tou EiHhtIy-SihIhs LOT
DaIt-Amid the Breakers.
In May the cod fishermen are in pos
session. and it was to have a view of the
fishery that we drove out. On the wide
beach under the bluff, perhaps a score
of narrow, sharp pointed dories were
drawn up. -Four more we saw rising
and falling on the swells outside the line
of breakers. They are coming" said
our friend as he hastened down to view
the operation. A horse attached to a
fish cart stood IN the sand where n dozen
bronz~d and sturdy fishermen were
watching the incoming boats.
Goldfish strike in here between the
middle and last of April, the pollock a
little later. They are caught with hook
and line, though on the south shore
some travis are set. The bait used is
the long clam, which has to be brought
from Tuckermuck and Muskegat islands,
which lie 10 the westward of Nantucket.
Gathering them forms the business OF
quite a number of the toilers who build
little shanties on &c island and live
there for days, digging clans between
tides. BY the time we have learned this
t't bVh' iiAAo y Nv DltAh
ers, and we watch anxiously to see how
the boatman would get through without
being swamped. Both skill and strength
are required to effect this.
The orasman balanced his boat on the
swells just outside the line of breakers
and waited till the biggest of the three
brothers amt towering on, when he
rode triumphantly in on its crest, being
carried far up the strand where his wait
ing fellows seized the BOAT and ran it up
beyond the reach of succeeding waves.
The con and third did equally well.
but the fourth miscalculated, and the
prov of his boat dashed into the sand
n wa held in the midst of the surf.
In a momen the succeeding wave
pounded upon it, filed it and swept man,
boat, fish and oars far up the beach.
The man, however, gathered up the
scattered cargo, emptied the dory by
turning her over, and soon had her out
the waves reach. Sometimes, in
coming through the surf, the boats are
thrown end over end.
The dories contain from twenty to
thirty large cod and pollock, with an oc-
c%asional ugly skate or big-mouthed soul
pin. The cart is backed down to the
boats, the cod and pollock are thrown in
and carted to the cleaning and picking
room where, after being dressed and
sailed, they are dried on flakes in the
sun, and marketed. Very little fresh
fish is exported from the island, but the
cured fish has the highest reputation of
any in the market.-Co Detroit Free

A great delicacy is Edam cheese and
wine. The usual Edam cheese, or pine
apple cheese will do, is opened by cut
ting the top off so as to serve as a lid,
and then a little port or sherry wine is
poured into a hole made by scooping out
a dessert spoonful of the middle. This is
left to stand and soak awhile, and after
wards, as fast as the cheese is used, more
wine is poured in. If the cheese is an
old II (and Al Edam or pineapple cheese
is not good for any purpose unless it be
old, the wine will soak into it and take
the place of the original moisture that
has dried out. 1t will be impossible, un
til you taste it, to conceive the exquisite
effect of the combination. 1t is eaten
with water biscuit, which by the way
are to be found on all bachelor tables
this year, because they seem naturally to
go with all sorts of d~rinkables and with
all cheeses, salt. or smoked meats and
most sweets.-Detroit Free Press.

TUE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Representative King, of Louisiana, has
struck a popular note by appearing as a
champion of the Monroe doctrine. His
resolution r%ecites, by way of preamble,
that the French government has given
assurance that De Lesseps' canal project
is entirely a private enterprise and that
the Panama Canal company has ncverthe-
less appealed to that government to assist
it by authorizing a loan of GOO, 900, 900
francs, and that the authorization, which
is reported to have been recommended to
the chamber of deputies would identify
the French government with the enter
prise. The resolution then proceeds to
declare that the United States will view
with solicitude and disfavor this contem-
plated action or any other measure of sim
liar character, as opposed to the policy OF
the American people. The secretary OF
state is also requested toscnd to congress
without delay all correspondence bearing
on the subject. Now the Monroe doc
trine is sound and should be enforced
whenever applicable, but the authorize
ton of a French corporation to increase
its capital stock, unless accompanied by a
guarantee by the French government,
cannot be construed as giving France
irmer foothold on the isthmus than she
might take at any time for the purpose OF
protecting the rights of her citizens, in
case OF need. 1t may be that the action
of France does afford proper occasion for
calling her attention to the subject in an
emphatic way, but it is by no means ne
cessarily to be inferred from anything
stated in the resolution hat such is the
case. When ascertained facts are incon.
sistent with any other theory and cannoi
be explained on any other hypothesis. il
will be time to act, and to act with prompt
ness and vigor worthy of the occasion. In
the meantime, hasfy and high sounding
declarations are apt to be considered a.
partaking, more or less, of the nature OF
buncombc.

In FEBRUARY last congress adopted q
resolution requesting the president to tax,
measures to assure a speedy trial and
proper protection to Julio X. Santos

Before the accession OF the present admin
istration to power, upon rcmonstrancc OF
Secretary Frelinghuysen, the Ecuadoriau
government had refused the release OF
the American citizen-and had proceeded
to confscate his property. Thus natter
stood when Mr.. Bayard took up the port

a pe.emptory demand fos release and to

action had the desired result of freeing
MIR Santos, temporarily, leaving the
question to be finally settled by negotia-

Those who have morbid conditions ot

80 far impair the general vigor as to pre-
vent attention being given to ordinary
duties of life, a often use large
draughts of water, especially in the
morning, with manifest advantage,
Obstinate constipation is thereby re-
moved, the normal peristaltic motions of
the bowels are restored, and the secre-
tons may be vastly improved. We no
tice the salutary influence of water
drinking upon many of those who resort
to the so-called mineral springs which
abound in the country. 1t is not neces-
sary that these springs should hold all
normal quantities of salts of any kind to
effect cures; it is only necessary that the
water should be pure.-Exchange.

PEACE.

Two travel-worn and weary feet at rest,
From paths of pain now shrouded in the
past;
Two cold hands folded on a colder breast,
From which the soul has taken flight al
last:
Two eyes from whose dark vacant CELL
the glow
OF sunlight seems forever to have fed;
Two mute lips meeting like an unstrung
bow
From which the final arrow, speech, has
fled.
This is the subtlest of all mysteries;
some call 1t Death, and others name 1t
Peace.

AMERICAN sympathy for ireland is used
much in the same manner anil quite as
fairly, by the English hastings orators, a.
the Solid South has been by Republican
stump orators in this country. Under an
appeal to prejudice. the voters forget to
ask themselves, in either case, whether
the sympathy or The solidity may not be
perfectly natural and legitimate. Large
demonstrations and loud speeches cannot
help the home rule cause, and are only
useful, indirectly, as a means of promot
ing contributions. 1t is the money which

question and it remains to be seen to what

revenue" The title promises well as far
As il goes. Mr.. Randall is reported to
have said that his bill is designed to build
up much needed industries, revive those
that are lan~guishing and remove ipequali-

measure Of tariff revision, but holds it is
a leading step in the right direction and
