ACoIored Preacher Hanged.

George McDuffie. the colored preacher who
murdered William Cheney. also colored was
hanged at p 80 o'clock, Friday, in Greens
borough, Ga. He said he was! fully pre-
pared. The execution was in the Jail.
Cheney was paying attention to Sarah
Haines, colored widow. McDuffie was
also devoting himself to the woman, and
was jealous of Cheney. He threatened to
kill his rival. The murder was committed
ON the night of September Il. The public
road going from WOodvile to William
Young's passed within a quarter Of mile Of
McDuftie's house. Leading from his house
to the road was narrow path, and just
where the path joined the road was
a thicket of small pines and underground
On that night McDuffie took his gun, and go
ing down to the road, secreted himself in the
bushes. About 10 o'clock Cheney and Sarah
returned from church. They were walking
up the road arm in arm. All uncon-
scious Of the assassin lying in ambush, they
turned into the path and started toward the
house.
At that moment McDuffie rose from the
bushes with an oath, raised his gun, and
fired, and the load plowed great hole in
Cheney's side. With a groan he sank to the
ground, while the woman began screaming
as soon as the deed was done. McDuffie
turned and fed.

Brazilian Emancipation Of Slaves.

Advices from Rio Janeiro state that the
Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has passed
bill for the immediate abolition of slavery.
Senior Antonio Prado has arrived from st.
Paulo and, as was previOus y arranged when
he entered the John Alfredo Ministry, is about
to exchange portfolios with Senior Rodrigo
da Silva so as t. treat of the slave question as
Minister of Agriculture. The measure he has
prepared declares slavery extinct at once
but obliges the freedmen to serve until next
Christmas, receiving wages Another pro-
vision prohibits the exit of freedmen from
their county for two years, and severe penal
ties are imposed for idleneSS
Full returns have at last been obtained of
the slave registration of March 80, 1887. The
total number was 723, 419, of the declared
value of 49,, 225, 212 milreis, about 2iO
millions of dollars. 1t is estimated, however,
that emancipations and deaths have already
reduced the above number to 600. 900, whose
value of 400 millions milreis will represent
the pecuniary sacrifice the Brazilian slave
owners will be called upol to make this
year.
Emancipation by counties is going on
rapidly in all parts of the empire. The Town
Council of Rio has at last induced the Bishop
of Rio Janeiro to abandon his policy of neu-
trality, and to promise his influence toward
the proximate extinction of slavery within
the boundaries of Rio.

Government Assistance for Build
ing an Air Ship.

Mr.. A De Bausset, of Chicago, who has
invented the plan of an air ship for carrying
freight and passengers through the atmo-
sphere. has received a recognition of his
scheme from the House Committee on Nentl-
lation and Acoustics, to which his bill was
referred early in the session. Mr.. De Bausset
desired Congress to appropriate Sl0J,OJJ 70
construct the ship.
The bill as favorably reported provides
that no money shall be put INTO the scheme
by the government until Mr.. De BauSSet mas
put S75 600 into the enterprise and commlS-
sion appointed by the Secretary of the Navy
is satisfied that the progress with the work Is
being made. The government will then ad-
vance SO, 600 snd another $4,000 viii De
paid TO the inventor after a success sful test
of the ship shall have been made. Secretary
Whitney is authorized to give MI De baus,
set the use of the Washington Navy Yard
for this purpose.
Mr.. De Bausset's invention consists of
metallic vessel divided into compartments
and otherwise suitably braced and strength
ened against external weight or pressure, and
of requisite size, so that when sufficiently eX-
hauste6 Of air it will by displacement OF a
bulk of external air greater than its weight
rise in the air and sustain and carry a de

pumps for exhauSting the air; also with
rapidly receivable blades or propellers for
moving and for steering it; also with means
for transporting passengers and freight,
the whole to constitute a conveyance Tor
rapid passage at short or long distances, as
for overland or for tranSOceanlc passage ana
for general purposes of commerce, eXplora-
ton, observation, etc.
NJ. De BausSet is very confident OF the
practicability of his scheme, and this con-
fidence appears to be shared by number OF
Representatives who have investigated the
matter.

RICH VALLEYS INUNDATED.
The Mississippi River Destroys the
Great Sny LeVee.

Specials from several points along the
upper Mississippi River give accounts CT
great losses to the property owners and vast
foundations. The levee that protects the
Sny bottoms gave way at an early hour
Monday morning, and the men who were
engaged in strengthening the levee had to
run for their lives.
An opening 100 yards wide was made and
the water rushed through and into the bot
toms with a roar. COuriers fastened
through the bottoms warning farmers of the
break, and there was wild chase, driving
the live stock to the highlands. The bottoms
are in Illinois, embrace about one hundred
thousand acres of land and reach fr )m a point
opposite Louisiana, Mo-, to a point opposite
Hannibal At the broadest place they are
nearly five miles wide and the overflow makes
a great and turbulent sea. The break oc-

the levee by sinking barges filled with hay
and rocks, but to no avail, and the break
came so suddenly that they were obliged to
flee for their lives. On the Missouri side the
break at Alexandria has caused a great sea

will briefly refer to the japan
persimmon, (Diosperos Kaki), which
is raised in this district with the most
satisfactory development. This fruit
is rapidly and justly growing in pop
ular favor. Natives of the Southern
States, who have been accustomed to
our native persimmon, are enthusias-
tic when they taste the japan fruit.
Its astringent quality entirely disap-
p ars when the pup becomes soft.
1t is easily transported when picked
at the proper stage, and doubtless it
could be shipped to advantage to
Eastern markets where it's splendid
color would certainly make a unique
adornment for the table. 1t is now
sold in our markets at five cents per
pound, but often commands higher
rate. This fruit can be grown in any
portion of the United States where
the temperature does not fall below
IA degrees above zero.
The Lichi of China, Houenia dulcis
of Japan, and Carica pdpaya of Peru
have been introduced, but the trees
are not yet old enough to produce
fruit. 1t need not be stated that the
conditions favorable to the growth of
such fruits as we have under consider
alton are also congenial to the whole
citrus family as we'll as the fig and
the olive. Add to these the whole
range of temperate climate fruits.
Where is the land that can furnish a
greater variety of such productions
grown in the open air than California
