SENSATION In COURT.
A Note ri0us Crook Shot Dead by

Memphis. April 3O.-A sensa

man, a well known thief, high
wayman and train robber. Acker-
man was arrested Monday night
on charge of wife beating. This
morning when the case was called
in the police court, the prisoner
and his wife were standing side by
side. Alderman spoke to her and
at the same time handed her q
written request for some clean
clothes. The woman bent her
head for an instant TO hear what
he had to say and then, without
warning, drew q revolver from be-
meath her cloak, and presenting it
within a few inches of Ackerman's
abdomen, pulled the trigger. Be,
fore any one could realize what
had happened she had fired two
more shots at Alderman, who had
fallen on the floor and was with
ing in agony. An hour later he
WAS dead.
Alderman was a notorious crook.
He had served terms in the
penitentiaries of Mississippi, Loui
siana, Kansas and Nebraska. The
burglaries, robberles and con
idence games he is accredited
with are innumerable. At the
lime of his killing he was wanted
1t Omaha for the robbery of Nor

whose maiden name was Lizzie

The Inventors cf Printing.

The manuscripts found at E.
Fayoum, in Egypt, and owned by
the Austrian Archduke Raincr,
prove to be an inexhaustible source
of information, and show the most
surprising fact that printing with
movable types was practised in
Egypt IN the ninth century of our
era. Two papyri dating from that
time are still existing; but from
the following century, The tenth,
twenty seven printings on paper
have been found among the
Fayoum collection. AS the CON
tents Of all Of them are Of a re.
ilglons nature, 1T would appear
that printing was practised only
ny priests, though the perfection
1T had acquired would lead one to
suppose that it must have been in
use for some length oftlme. Dur.
ing the Second Crusade, LAT,
printed paper-money was issued
for the North of Syria, which, as
it had been issued without con.
troll, soon grew worthless. From
the papyri it would also appear
that the Government of the Caliph
OF Bagdad was, so early as 794, in
possession of a paper factory in
Inc latter town.-Ex

The Alexandria Town Tall
scores Hon. r. p. Hunter for at
tempting, as it claims, to use it,
colamas to advance his private
aims without paying for them. Il
seems that the Town Talk refused
to publish some of his commun,.
cations which caused resentmen,
in Col. Hunters breast. We know
nothing ct the merits of the lndi.
yldual case, but Bro. Mccormick
enunciates clear and unadulterat
ed trutk in the following:
II Communications are sent to
the Town Talk containing local
news they are always welcome.
II on important local subjects of
ehe day' short and to the point, I
publish them as q matter of cour.
tesy, but when people try to drive
me to publish their contributions
gratultously, to serve perhaps
their own personal political ends,
they are mistaken in the man.
Persons paying five cents a line
for communications, as advertise
ments, might with reason talk it
dependently to the poor editor Of
q country newspaper, but when
they are not contributing 5 cents
toward helping pay printers, for
paper, Ink, and other expenses. it
seems to me that as reasonable
men they should be thankful for
llaSt iaV0fS.
From appearances 1t seems that
the Town Talk was to be used rs

The Federal Election Bill.

There is good reason to believe
that the Federal election bill will
be bitterly opposed by the people
OF the North as well as those OF
the South, because if it is passed
it will enable the Republicans to
elect their candidates IN districts
which are known to have large
Democratic majsrities. Accord.
ing to the bill prepared by Mr..
Hoar one hundred signers to q
petition can throw the election
under the control of a Federal
judge and supervisors, and as the
supervisors will be selected from
the most INSCRIPTIONS partisans,
the chances are the Republicans
will attempt, If The bill becomes a
law, to steal seats IN Congress
from several of the Northern States
in order to make it appear that
they carried those States on the
tariff or Southern question.
Thus it will be seen that the
bill threatens the Democrats of
the North as well as those of the
South and 1t would be wise tn ny
Tor our Democratic brethren rorth
Of the Ohio river to look at The
matter in the rigL t light, because
while the bill is aimed at the
Southern States the Republicans
IN their desperation will not
hesitate 10 make it operate in the
Northern States if by doing so
they can keep themselves in power.
They will demand that the election
next November be placed in the |
hands of the Federal authorities !
IN all the close districts in Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois on the ground !
that they do not believe that a fair
election can be held otherwise, and
the machinery once in their hands
they will return, as elected, Re.
publicans in every instance.
The South will soon find a way
to maintain the rights of her
citizens and will be ready for any
emergency no matter how grave
it may be. The States has fire.
qaeatly asserted, knowing as it
does the temper Of the Southern
people, that The bill would fail of
ats purpose and the Chicago
Herald commenting on the bill
agrees with us fully. 1t says: I
Much might be said about Hears
proposed law, but we will say very
little. It's tyrannical, partisan
and Infamous. 1t will create con- !
slant disorder and 1t will fail of
ITS object. 1t is intended to IN {
lame sectionalism. 1t will cause I
such o sweeping democratic t
triumph as to convince even the
senatorial mossbacks who father |
il that this is q nation of free
States and that there can be no t
Poland among them. !

Advice About Business.

In your dealings with the world avoid
anything like juggling dexterity. The
proper use of dexterity is to prevent your
being circumvented by the cunning of
others. 1t should not be aggressive. Be-
cause somebody tries to swindle you do not
you try to swindle anybody else.
Concessions and compromises form a
large and very important part of our deal
ings with others. Concessions must be
looked upon as distinct defeats, and you
must expect no gratitude for them.
Delay is, in some instances, to be adopted
advisedly. 1t sometimes brings person
to reason when nothing else could-when
his mind is so occupied with one idea that
he completely overestimates its relative
Importance.
A good man of business is very watch
full, over both himself and others, to pre-
vent things being carried against his sense
of right. After matter has been dis
cussed, whether to the purpose or not,
there comes time when all parties are
anxious that it should be settled; and then
there is some danger of the handiest way
of getting rid of the matter being taken
for the best.-Ieras SJtings.
