Religious Fanaticisim .

A terrible murder and suicide oc-
Cured in Lincoln County. West Va
ginia, on last Monday night, Mrs.
Margaret Uonsp. q widow. became
insane from religious fanaticism and
imagined that she had been called on
by the Lord to sacrifice the lives of
herself and her three children To the
Divine wrath, Early in the afternoon
she threw herseif upon her knees and
spent several hours in wild rawlings.
Size then arose, and arming herself
with a large, sharp carving knife,
made her way to room occupied by
her three daughters, aged twelve, ten
and eight years, cut the throat of
each child and plunged the blade into
her own hesrt. The bodies were dis
covered yesterday by neighbors, who
state that the room was so bespattered
with blood as to bear strong resem-
blance to a slaughter house.

Save Your Cotton Seed.

ana News says:
''The stands Of corn on the low
grounds are very fair, yet l heard
Of q few having to plow bottoms up
and plant over. The stands Of cot
ton are not as good as the farmers
would like TO see; the ground ap-
pears cold and the plant is coming
up very slowly. The weather for sew
eral days has been warm and clear.
1t is to be hoped that it may remain
so, for if any disaster were to fall on
the cotton crop now, there would not
be seed sufficient in this vicinity TO
plant two-horse farm. The whites
as we'll as ''Cuffy" sold their seed
last fall. The roads in the fall and
up to spring were constantly tray
eled by wagons, from an ox-cart to
four-horse team, loaded with cotton
seed, and if the question was asked,
"where are you going ?" the response
nine out of ten would be, "gwine to

fertilizer, which by rights should re-
turn to the land, thereby improving
it, instead of draining the very life
out it, thereby impoverisbing it, and
naturally enough bringing the hard
times that are now-the blame Of
which the farmers are trying to lay
at the door of lawyers and laws,
while the same fraternity are re-
futing and charging the farmers
with the blame, they being in
the ascendency, or holding the ma
jority of power in the government.
Just imagine twenty cars of cotton
seed containing 800 or 900 bushels,
shipped from Dawkins' depot from
one crop. In round numbers 10000
bushels. which at twenty bushels to
an acre would manure 800 acres of
wheat. Now it is reasonable to sup.
pose that We would get ten bushels
Of wheat per acre in return at harvest
time: this yield on 500 acres would
be 5000 bushels Of wheat at the low
price Of one dollar per busiel; would
be $4,000 the farmers deprive them
selves of, and the improvement OF
land thrown in. Now iet US SEE what
the 10000 bushels Of cotton seed as

DEMOCRATICVILA MORE BITTER
TOWARDS THE SOUTH THAN
REPUBLICANS.
The Register Gives Him Good Rap

The Register Gives Him Good Rap.
We have received two orations de-
livered in New York city on Decora,
ton Day, May Slst. One of the ora
tions was delivered by the Hon. v.
F. Villas at the Academy Of Music,
and the other by the Hon. John 4.
Logan at Riverside Park. We have
read both of them and do not propose
to publish either, as they are by. no
means addressed to the Southerner.
We note, however, as somewhat sin
gular the fact that Senator Logan,
whilst eulogistic to indiscretion to
the great Union Captains, as We
think, says not a word which will
CRATE on Southern ears, Mr.. Villas,
On the contrary, seems 10 go out OF
his way TO say much that was neccs-
sarily offensive to the South and
which it was not necessary to say on
such an occasion. Take for instance
the following utterance:
In yeueration Of the fathers they
mustered in the name Of Union, con-
tent to save what the Revolution had
planted; and 10 the angel Of Liberty.
In shining presence, led their battle
on beyond the fathers aims to finish
ssle work they left undone and win a
brighter crown. They blotted from
the Constitution the covert meaning
of that abhorrent word the voice Of
freedom refused to utter there; they
scourged from her temple the mon
gsstug al mothers and babes'
Where is the necessity Of saying
this or the truthfulness thereof, when
Lincoln's proclamation to the South-
rpn States so unequivocally promised
that slavery would in 10 way be IL
terferel with if the South would lay
down its arms and recognize the au'
thority of the government of the
United States? Again, is not Mr..
Villas aware Of the original terms
agreed upon by General Sherman
and Johnston, in which it was agreed
that the States Of the South shoald
come hack with all their political
Fights and rights Of property und's-
turbe6 in yiew Of these facts We see

AMERICAN WOMEN IN PARIS
Yankee Girls with Handsome Dots
Seeking Titled Husbands.

All sorts of people with light purses
turn up in the gay French capital. and
manage for awhile somehow to keep
out of the morgue, writes Henry Wat
terson to the C0urier-Jou1muL. Among
the Americans, the most notable eX-
amples in this category are the women.
How they get here heaven knows; but
they do get here, ranging all the way
from the would-be prima-donna TO the
humble aspirant for a place us govern
ess. Rarely does any one of them
speak French. Just as rarely have they
any kind of professional experience or
fitness. Most of them are simple
minded visionaries-though may not
be described SO charitahy-who, like
M. Sardou's California hoyden, were
bound to see Paris or bust" Usu-
ally, the adventures outright. who
comes abroad on a speculation, brings
a stake with her, and for a season, at
least, contrives to keep up appearances.
In the end, however, she is bound to
fail. because foreign husban ds with
money are not to be had. There are
thousands and tens of thousands of no.
BILE loafers and titled paupers who
make it the business of their lives to
look up rich American girls. But
those gentry ar very wary. They
are MOI to be caught, even if they are
worth catching, by anything short of
cash in hand, without which, indeed.
few of them could procure a marriage
outfit or pay for a wedd lng-ring.
At this very moment | happen to
know of two young countrywomen
who are at dagger's points about a
Frenck duke, who is not fit in morals,
intellect or character t. black boots.
and the ladies are not without Il certain
social position at home, either. The
duke thinks they have fortunes of
their own, which is Il mistake. As
soon as he finds this out he viii! be off,
and there is no danger of his not find
ing it out, for in business of this kind
your impecunious Frenchman is as I'M
erring as death.
In Europe!abject poverty is the only
spur which a goad 4 nobleman into
marrying a Yankee, and the Yankees
are preferred solely because, as Il rule,
they have more money when they have
any money at all, than the natives. and
then they are further away from base,
and in taking one of them for a wife
the ~aristocratic swindler is not obliged
to dirty his ~felonious fingers by shak-
ing hands with the rest of the family.
Money motives apart no titled gentle
man would think of marrying an
American. When such a one marries
out of his own country it is for the rea-
son that he can not make an eligible
match at home. In every instance the
poor American girl gets the scum of the
nobility, and if, happily, she escapes a
brute in her husband. she is pretty
sure to find him a %vagabond.

A WISH.

Alone with the evening breeze,
l listen to the bird
Whose melodies in leaf-crown'd trees
At twilight's hour are heard.
On every floating, fleecy cloud,
Ny fancy seems to trace
The outline of one noble form
The beauty of one face.
And In my dear, deep dreams tonight
The splendor of two eyes
Will shine on me in fadeless light,
Like stars in southern skies!
I'll hear his mild, melodious voice
Its dulcet wooing tell
For / hold its echoes in my heart,
Like the sea in a rOse-lipp'd shell!
o Love of mine!-so far away
Full many a weary mile!-
Ny thoughts of thee by night and day
The dreary hours beguile.
/ wish, my Sweet, that wings had II
Td fly away through space,
And ere an hour of life passed by
Td gaze upon thy face.
And as within the roses heart
The SUMS warm kisses rest,
Td cling SO close, we could not part,
In rapture to thy breast.
IT'S well, perhaps, Beloved, the power
Cannot to m be given
For ere the fight of that brief hour
This world had turned to heaven!
