MT. Raub pick ed up the revolver, a self-cocker, and snap ped it. The ball took effect in young Bishops forehead, penetrating the brain and causing death an hour later. It ap- pears that the workman who repaired the revolver, contrary to the usual custom, loaded it at the request of the owner and then turned it over to Raub without com ment. Raub had no idea that the weapon was loaded, yet he failed to make an ex- animation, as was his rule. Raub is com pletely overcome by the affair.

Jones on the very day she obtained her divorce Dewald, armed with bottle of vitriol and pistol, invited Jones to walk with him along this bluff Monday night, and, seiz- ing the latter while off his guard, threw the vItriol in his face. Jones was horribly disfgured and his eye-sight destroyed. Dewald calmly watched the contortions of his victim while and then, standing on the edge of the bluff, shot himself dead, and his body rolled down the bluff to the road, 300 feet below.

LEVALLEY's reply to Sheriff Vests state ment, as given on 4th page, brings the matter down to question of veracity between the two men. Even accepting the sherif's state ment without question, he has very lame case, and in his anxiety to bid for the sup port of the class of voters opposed to law and order he has put himself altogether out of the question as his own successor in office. The class of voters who approve of his most ex- traordinary course of conduct, we are happy to say, are as yet very largely in the minority in Holland County, or in any one political party therein.

IL. GRAHAM, Philadelphia cooper, made himself buoy shaped cask with slaves 4 in- ches thick, suspended himself therein in a hammock-like netting made to fit him like a suit of clothes, and then had himself turned loose in the rapids below Niagara. He was picked up about five miles below, having made the trip in a bounding, spinning way. The fool killer probably had business else where that day, but will be around to attend to Graham's case some day, as he proposes several other foolhardy acts, one of which is going over the falls in his cask. He does this sort of thing solely for the glory he gets.

Now that the country is fully aroused to the dangers of ignorance, and that incentives to requirement of knowledge are talked of, one can but wonder why so many states per init the ballot to be cast by illlterate voters.
 The southern states, in particular, have no right to complain at the enfranchisement of the ignorant negro when they have it in their power to make ability to read and write a requisite qualification for the right to vote. The south is full of ignorant whites, who are no more fit to vote than are the blacks, and it is a fact that the blacks are emerging from their condition of ignorance more rapidly than are the low-down whites, who seem con- tented to grope on as have generations of ig- norant men and women before them. Every possible incentive to acquired intelligence should be given by every state, and no stronger one can be established than to make the right to vote contingent on ability to read.

Cigar Color by the Gallon.

''An interesting feature of the trade"
said dealer 'ls process for giving
to cigars very rich, glossy and shin
ing appearance. No matter how dead
looking a cigar may be, the process
makes them look as though they were
made from the richest, oiliest, finest
gummy tobacco, and no matter how old
and dried out tho cigars may be the
process entirely and perfectly renovates
them. The process is n secret. The
material used is as clear as water, yet it
gives to cigar a much darker and
richer appearance. 1t cannot come of
from the cigar, has no taste, and does
not become dull by age. The material
costs s. gallon. The fact is, the public
is continually demanding cigars Of bet
ter quality, and the only way to keep up
with the times is for manufacturers to
improve their tobacco to the fullest ex-
tent The way to do it is to throw
aside all prejudice and old-fashioned
notions. Tho looks of cigars sell them,
and if tho wrappers are dark and shiny
they will sell every time; that is my OK
perience. ~ Y. Nail aud Express. -

ed for the speedy and etlectual cure OF
Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung

principle from the usual prescriptions
given by Physicians, as it does not dry
up Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. a bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills

trial will convince you of these facts

the slightest manner disturbing the in
