"OnIv a Farmers Daughter"

To be presented here in the Opera
House on Wednesday next, is thus spoken
of by the New York World:
1t has a pronounced melodramatic
tone; it is highly emotional, and, ii
might be said, sensational; and being
skillfnlly constructed, it follows that
there are many strong situations and
plenty fife and action all through-in
short, that it is very effective acting
play. In addition to this it should be
said that the dialogue is as good as the
plot and the process of the development
that the parts are nearly all effective and
that the denouement is novel, ingenious
and highly impressive.

PROPOSED NEW BUILDING.
To be Erected by the Free Kin.
dergarten Society.


The Free kindergarten society met
yesterday afternoon in the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall and the meeting was largely and
fully attended. The visiting committee
handed in their report of what had been
done and gave avery interesting account
of their labor during the past few weeks.
They are prosecuting the work vigor-
ously in their districts, so that the num-
Der of children in the kindergarten school
is being constantly reinforced and the
need of a larger and more commodious
room grows steadily greater. The at
tention Of the society was drawn to this
fact and one committee was appointed
to secure subscriptions and another to
confer in regard to the erection of sur
table building. 1t is proposed to erect a
building which will cost about $500.
after the model of Swiss cottage. Their,
will be one main room, which will be %
x30 feet, and separated from it by nova.
Bile partitions, will be two or three
smaller ones. This arrangement will
permit the whole floor being thrown
into one large room, whenever the occa-
sion demands it. The society has shown
the nature of the work it intends to do,
and the beneficial results which have at
tended this movement, makes it incum-
bent on every one to contribute to the
building fund according to their means,
and supply the financial support, which
if added to the energy and push of its
members, will ensure a speedy and ulti
mate success.

The real objection that the Haytiens
have towards Minister Fred Douglass is
his exconomy. They are accustomed to
seeing the representatives OF foreign gov
ernments live in some style. Dougla>s S
keeps no horses, and lives in an unpre-
tentious cottage. His wife acts as his
clerk, and is daily seen walking along the
street on the way to her work. Ladies
of any rank never walk at Port-au-Prince
The whole thing is a revelation to the
Haytiens, who freely express their CON
tempt for the representative ofthe United
States Government.

The Western republicans say that the

Judge Gresham. 1t is well known that

before the appointment was made that
the elevation OF Judge Brewer would be
most distasteful to Judge Gresham, who

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches to the HERALD. !
SAN Francisco, August 5-This after
noon John Carter, who had been en-
ployed as guard at the San Quentin
State Prison, shot his wife in the back
while she was dressing her hair before a
mirror, and then shot himself in the
head. Carter died instantly and his wife
few minutes later. Jealousy on the
part of Carter is supposed to have been
the cause of the deed. The tragedy took
place at 507 Johnston street, at private
clearinghouse, where the couple had
gone for their meals.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Mahony, at whose
house the tragedy occurred, state that
short time before luncheon Carter and
his wife were walking together in the
back yard among the flowers. Carter
had arrived from San Quentin this morn
ing, and the pair appeared most affec.
tionate toward each other. At luncheon
they were especially sociable. They
repaired to the parlor about
1:30 p. M, where Mrs. Carter began
putting on her things to take a walk
with her husband. After the couple had
been in the parlor few minutes, Mrs.
Mahony, who was in the kitchen, heard
some scuff1ing, and soon Mrs. Carter
called her and also cried: "Don't |
don't, John Oh, don't Oh, don't!'
Mrs. Mahony ran forward, and just
as she reached the parlor door she heard
a shot and Mrs. Carter fell forward into
her arms. Laying Mrs. Carter down che
rushed to the front door to call for help,
when she heard another shot, which
later investigation showed had been
fired by Carter at himself. They both
lived a few minutes but were uncon-
scious.
The only trouble known to have ex.
listed between the couple before was when
Carter mplained of his wife being too
fond of society. Disputes would then
arise showing strong jealousy on his part

The way of the Negro.

The ignorant, pleasure-loving, happy
go-lucky negro of Washington is as care
fully discriminating with reference to the
payment of bills as the insolvent mer-
chant who is making a list of preferred
creditors. The grocer or butcher who
trusts him is often likely to wait for his
money until the ink on the account
book becomes pale and lllegible, but
the professional mantle doctor or
the lawyer-always gets his money.
He looks upon doctor with
a kind of superstitious respect. The
simplicity of his mind makes him an
uncanny being who brings about wonder
full results by means that can be little
short OF supernatural. He will bring bis
last fifty cents to doctor whom he has
employed and force it upon him, whether
he wants it or not. "Take it, boss,' u
says he, Gil be hoodooed if you DOM
take it," The lawyer is also regarded
with awe because of his mysterious con
nection with the powers of the law, anC

STRANGE OATHS.

In the Science of Cursing.
1t is curious that we are quite unable
to realize the enormity of some of the
Continental oaths. We can, of course, to
a certain extent, appraise such terms as
Sacre, Sapristi and Morbleu (euphonistic
for Mort Dieu), but, on the other hand,
we wholly fail to appreciate the swearing
value of Mile tonnerres and Tdusand
Donnerwetter. Even though these
latter be regarded as invoca-
tion Of Thor, the god of thunder and
summer heat, we cannot see anything
very dreadful or juratory in them. An.
glicized they become perfectly harmless,
and would indeed be welcomed in the
room of some of our own more opprob-
rious idioms. THUNDER" or even
Thunder and lightning!" we consider
very temperate exclamation; 80 too,
thought the author of the tragic story of
the Bagman's Dog, which may be con-
suited with advantage on this
head. Applying the Johnsonian
maxim of "claret for boys, port
for men, and brandy for heroes" we
should certainly be inclined to class
either. or both of them with the claret,
nay even with the yet milder variety OF
Gladstonian claret, vintage happily
unknown to the learned doctor. To our
insular minds they convey absolutely
no idea of impropriety. We might
go about Donnerwettering for a month
together, and not feel one atom the
better for it, or the worse; while our
character for propriety and decent
speech would not be one whit damaged,
whatever might be thought of our sanity.
The German soul, however, is conscious
of a distinct sense of relief after judic-
ious indulgence in the same pastime.
Hence we are confronted by the strange
paradox that what is a round oath in one
country is not even smart ejaculation
