4 dispatch from Indianapolis, Indiana,
June 20, says: On November II, 1888,
Richard o. Allen, an aged farmer living five
miles southwest OF Washington, Ind, was
found tied TO q tree near his house with his
throat cut FROM ear to ear. The death was
thought to be case of suicide and no inquiry
was made. A few days ago, while laboring
under religious excitement, Mrs. Charlotte
Allen, the 20 year old widow of the dead man,
confessed to two colored servants that she
committed the crime. She said that she and
her husband had trouble as to who was the
rightful owner of the farm, and in order to
settle the dispute she gave her husband NOR
phine in his tea. Allen fell asleep in the
garden. She procured table knife and a
rope and tied the rope around his body, and,
making several slashes at his throat, half
severed the head from the neck. She then
dragged the body to a tree and tied it there.

Mr.. Will Steele, our energetic constable,
received paralytc stroke the 18th instant,
supposed to be brought on by over exertion.
/ He was in critical state till Saturday even
! ing, when he began to recover. He was over
anxious to raise his new barn, ald was fore
most in the work of raising it. After the
/ days work was done he was seized with
/ paralysis from which he has not yet recovered.

Chldreu's day was celebrated Sunday last
with appropriate dialogues aud music, Rev.

Church South. The evening service was
nearly a repetition of the morning, and Rev.
Cook gave what is thought in The Methodist
church a short talk However he derives
credit for his beautiful remarks aud his IN
Struclive talk, which was well worth listening
to by the grown people as well rs inc chill
dren. The church was beautifully decorated
by the teachers and scholars, the pulpit being
surmounted by an arm chair of evergreens,
and on it in letters of daisies was ''True Sue
cess" Six steps leading up to True Success
were all of moss, and on the front of each
step letters of daisies. The lst or founda-
ton of True Success was Christ; End was
Conscience; 3rd was Heart; 4th was Power;
9TH was VIII; 9th was Mind, The entire
church was filled with immense ferns, which
gave one the idea ofpalms and exotics. The
decorations certainly looked lovely and uni
que. The little ones were carefully trained
and did credit to the teachers. Miss May
Barnes, of Eldersburg presided at the organ.
Miss Maggie Backer aud Miss Bennett rem
dered sweet duet with heavy chorus. The
singing was extra fine throughout.

The common belief IS that the Banchin
Lama IS a re-embodiment Of Kinkang, OBJ
tanned after moro than ten years employed IN
cultivating wisdom, perfecting himself, keep
ing tho precepts, renewing and purifying the
heart, thoroughly mastering the religious
canons, and abstaining from all dissipation
The Dalai Lama and the Banchin Lama are
both able to fortell births and deaths and
future events, and are also able to solve all
doubts and difficulties of the future. All
Iibetans slain in battle are honored by the
people with offerings Of sweet scented flowers
They salute their superiors by taking of their
hats and thrusting out their tongues three
times. The people say the climate differs
every few miles.
The punishments are very severe. No mat
ter whether the crime be grave or trivial. tine
matter great or small, the offenders, when
caught, are tied up in a dark room with all
their limbs bound, and kept there until
dragged out for trial Sentences Of death
are carried out by binding the criminal to a
pillar and shooting at him with muskets
and bows in a contest for drink, by taking
him to cave swarming with scorpions and
allowing the latter TO sting him, or by hand
ing him over to be divided and eaten by the
savages Of the . country.
They put their dead in bags made Of hides.
which they suspend for seven days from the
ridge poles Of their dwellings, while Lama
priests chant the liturgy and afterwards
they are carried to mountain peaks, where
the flesh Is cut into thin slices and thrown to
the dogs to eat; this is called the earth inter
ment. The bones are pulverized, made into
pills about the size Of beans, and given TO
eagles to eat; this is called sky interment.

Why is it that young lady in a street car
likes to appear yivaeious and pretty in the
eyes of the strangers about herf She does,
though. There may be nothing Of the fiirt
about her and she may be quick to repel.
with a whitening glance, any advances
upon the part of strange young man, but
she does like to appear bright and winsorne
In her manner. She will slyly wet her ruby
lips to give them more of color, and will
cast arch glances from her more or less pretty
eyes She thirsts for male admiration and
exercises many neat little tricks to obtain it.
If she sees some old man in the car-some old
gentleman whom she knows through her pa
rents, but whom she would be very chilly to
under ordinary circumstances-sheh hastens to
recall herself to him in order that she may
bring into play, in a chat with some one,
those pretty little arts of conversation which
will cause the men sitting across the way to
lay aside their papers and watch her. If she
can do this she has gained her point and is
happy.-Chicago Herald.
