Negro observation-disclosures.

WICHITA, Kas., December 49,
Near the little village of Bross, King
man county, lives a farmer, named
Bartlett, with his family, consisting
of son of q, daughter of 16, and one
of s. Domestic work was done by a
big negro woman, who was formerly a
slave. She imagined she was
hoodooed the person suspected of
having placed the spell on her was
the elder daughter of her employer,
and she informed the girl of her sus-
picions. The young lady, to have
some fun with the old negress,
admitted il, and said she was deter
mined to keep the spell up until her
victim was dead. The negress then
commenced to devise way of Kidding
herself of this terrible spell. A few
nights ago she and the girl were left
alone in the house while the rest of
the family went to neighbours. The
negress attacked the girl, tied her
hands and feet, stripped her of all her
clothing, beat her numerically,
and concluded her revenge by smear
ing the girls body with paint, tying
her up in an old fire place, and build
ing fire around her. She then fled,
and the girl was shortly afterward
found by the neighbors and rescued
from her perilous position, but she
died during the night. The country
is being secured for the negress, and
if she is found she will be lynched.

How 1t Is,

In the old Liberty lot on Houston
street is a steep tin roof on house,
which is place where small boys are
wont to congregate every afternoon.
By some means they make the roof
very slippery and climbing to the
comb, sit down and turn themselves
loose. They coast down in this fash
ion till they reach the lower edge,
and then get up and repeat the per-
formance. 1t is rare fun for the boys,
little dangerous perhaps, but it is
death on their trousers. What would
their mammas say if they knew how
the clothing becomes worn.

Preference for the Quaker City.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ia local
paper this morning says, Mrs. Cleve-
land says she is enjoying her stay
here very much, as she always does.
She is very fond of Philadelphia and
would like to make her home here,
after the close of the present admins
tration. Indeed there has been some
serious consideration of that subject,
but strong business reasons were adj
vanced in favor of a residence by the
president in, or near New York.
1t is now quite decided that
upon the expiration of his
term, the president and Mrs.
Cleveland will reside at Orange, New
Jersey and Mr.. Cleveland will have
important business occupation in New
York. The president has been offered
the management of several financial
institutions in New York City and it
is understood he has quite decided to
accept one of the offers. He has also
been rendered some law partnership
in New York, but it is said he has de-
cided not 70 return to the practice of
law, pure and simple.

Leading Journal on the Pass.

Leading journal on the Pass.
ST. LOUIS, December ia leading
morning journal has the following
editorial paragraph: "Deep water for
Texas coast is only question of time.
The time when Texas unites on where
it shall be. Then there is very little
doubt that congress will appropriate
the money most readily for the Gal
weston harbor, but all evidence
shows that a comparatively
small expenditure will give a
good harbor at Arkansas Pass.
Why cannot advocates of the two To-
calIties join their forces for the gov
eminent appropriation sufficient for
Galveston and Texas guarantee for
Arkansas? Texas is a great state and
this deep water question gives oppor-
tunity for showingit. Let it go ahead
with Arkansas as if it were an in
dependent republic, and there will be
no trouble about Galveston"

HACKENsACK, N. j., December 10.
John NJ. Doremus was hanged this
morning in the corridor of Bergen
county Jail, for the murder of his son

was seemingly resigned to his fate.

monstrated with his father for abus-
ing his mother. This angered the

CHURCH OF THE SACRED HEART.
PLEASANT EVENT.

On Monday evening the congregation
assembled in the French Church in this
village witnessed pleasant presentation
event and participated in the exercises
incident thereto. The auditorium was
crowded and the people present were of
all denominations. The pastor, Rev. FIR.
Provost was accompanied by FIR. Audet.
Preparatory to this evening committee
of the congregation, Misses Alice The
barge and Della Lapoint had collected
from such as were disposed to give, the
funds necessary to purchase the elegant
presents now about to be presented to
the good pastor. These consisted of a
massive silver chsIice, (gold lined), a
cake basket and castor with two elegant
boquets of cut flowers. After the
priests had assumed their positions the
presents were given in handsome man
ner on behalf of the committee and
donors, in an address in French by Miss
Amanda Nolan. The same was imme-
diately translated IN English and re-
peated to the congregation by Miss
Alice Mccarthy. We give the address:
Reverend and Dear Father. We, the
French Canadians of the village of Ben
Dington, have taken the occasion OF
your paternal holiday birthday to ex-
press to you the full sentiments of our
hearts. We are happy to prove to you
our gratitude for the innumerabe good
things that your jealous, good heart
constantly spreads over us.
In effect, If it is allowed for us to 90
back to the years since you have direct
ed us, how many things we would have
to enumerate.
We recall the debt of our church that
you have extinguished in very short
time, this abundant classent that you
have given us and this without extra
charge for us. the faithful that you call
so often to the Sacred Banquet; you
have kept our hearts in the love OF God
and in the Religion.
Yes, dear Pastor, we are thankful.
and 1t is our duty to be so. We hope to
remain long time governed by your
wise counsels, and constantly warmed
by your ardent zeal. We tciH be good
devoted for a Father that
desires nothing but our happiness. And
as pledge of our filial attachment and
sincere gratitude, we are offering to you
these small presents, and we beg of you
TO accept them; and 10 consider them
not in their value but as small token
Of esteem, of love that burns upon the
altar Of our hearts.
May God preserve you and bless you
for many years to come.
The gifts presented, the organ broke
forth in joyful strains, Miss Emma La
MARE, organist. Miss Libbie Griffith
sang very finely and the choir rendered
Lar Mere and other selections with
great acceptance.

PLEASE OBLIGE US, KICK HIM OUT.

The truth about Lord Sackyille's dis
mlssal was told in our special cable dis
patches on Sunday, aud is repeated to-
day. Unavailing efforts are made by
| The Herald to break the force of our
London correspondents astonishing dis
closures. He reaffirmes this morning
in the most emphatic and authoritative
manner the explanations which he pre-
viously offered respecting the collision
between the Administration and Lord
Salisbury. Lord Sackvile was not
shown to the door until it had been un-
locked by the British Prime Minister and
Secretary Bayard had ascertained that
some little swaggef would not be resent
ed. Lord Salisbury even inliInated,
that his relative, the British Minister,
would be left in better position from
a diplomatic point of view if he were To-
be dismissed by the American Admins,
tration than he would be placed If re.
called by his own Government. In the
latter event his career as a diplomatist
would be ended, whereas, if the Presi-
dent would kindly kick him out he could
be transferred to another post. As soon
as Secretary Bayard found out how the
ground lay in England, he forced the open
door with great display Of courage and
spirit, much to the relief of the demor-
allied political managers at the Demo
cratic headquarters. The President was
only too happy to do Lord Salisbury
a personal favor, and at the same time
to conciliate the Irish vote by eiecting,
with the collision of the British Gov
eminent, the disgraced Minister.
The English press, after a long period
OF self-restraint, breaks forth on the eve
OF the American election into chorus
OF praise for the Democratic candidate.
Our special cable dispatches contain con-
vincing evidence, if any we're required,
of the sympathy and support which the
