In St. Louis, about ten o'clock the
other night, William O'Donnell, in self
defense and after desperate fight, shot
and killed John Feeney at the house of
Mrs. Anna Myers, and then died from
wounds inflicted by Feeney. The shoot
ing was not done until after Feeney had
broken in the back door of the house
and attacked Mrs. Myers with knife,
which ne used upon o. Donnell for stand
ing between him and the woman, and
when the one shot was fired that result
ed in Feeney's death, ODonnell was
faint and weak from five desperate stabs
inflicted by the man upon whom
he used the pistol. O DonneIl was
painter, while Feeney was a machinist.
The men, according to eye-witnesses,
were unknown to each other, and there
was about their sudden and fatal NEE t.
ing an element of sensationalism un-
usual even to such bloody affairs.

PECULIAR PEOPLES.

THE Aleut:ans, of Alaska, make fire
by dipping two pieces of quartz in sui
phur. which abounds in the islands, and
striking them together over small heap
of down on which sulphur has been
sprinkled. Some tribes of EsquimauX
use two pieces of iron pyrites or pyrites
and flint, in the same way.
THE religion of Dahomeyland is to the
effect that any soldier killed while fight
ing white men goes straight to Heaven
to become a handsome young man of
twenty-five, whois provided with fifteen
| beautiful wives and all the game he can
eat for one thousand years. Under this
! belief hundreds of them do their best to
get killed.
TUNIsIANs have rather Unpleasant
custom of ''fattening up" their girls for
marriage. A girl after she is betrothed
is cooped up in 4 small room. Shackles
of silver or gold are put upon her ankles
or wrists as piece of dress. If she IS
| to be married to a man who has dis
| carded or lost his former wife, the
! shackles which the former wife wore
are put upon the new brides limbs, and
she is fed until they are filled up to the
| proper thickness.
TIE Cochin Oh ina people strike two
pieces of bamboo together and ignite

like flint on the surface of the BAN boo

traveller. Mr.. w. T. Homaday. says
that the jungles are frequently fired by
the excessive friction of the bamboos
during gale. The Tungaras of Brit
;cL to
Malays carry attached to the girdle a
joint of bamboo, often finely carved,
containing finder and a fragment of
porcelain. The bit of china with finder
is held in one hand and struck against
the bamboo finder horn held in the
other, generally getting light at the
first blow.
/ On the Congo there are no beasts of
burden, there existing merely manual

of the Bakor-yo tribe, iuhabiting the

their heads from sixty to one hundred
pounds weight twenty miles day, for
sometimes six consecutive days, their
only food being each day little mani

handful of peanuts, pronounces them at
once as men of singularly sound stamina

Certain tribes are confirmed drunkards,

The main features of the proposed amend.
ment are: ~ the addition of two more
Judges to the Supreme Court. making it to
consist Of seven judges; and (2) the division
of the court into two divisions sitting sepa-
rately for the purpose of facilitating the
disposition of its business.
REASONS FOR ADOPTING THE AMENDMENT
The amendment, 1t is urged. should be
adopted FOR the following reasons among
others:
Judges TO the Supreme Court and its divs-
ION into two bran ches, with the authority
to hear and determine cases separately, the
working power of the court will be doubled.
and the present arrears in the business of
the court can in a short time be greatly, If
aot altogether, reduced. This is the goal to
be reached, and the amendment Will un-
doubtedly accomplish the desired purpose.
The loss to estates of deceased persons, to
lItIgants generally, and the injustice done
our people by reason of the present condi-
ton of the business of the Supreme Court,
need discussion or comment
,. Our population has increased nearly ii
million of souls since 1870, and our wealth
and resources in proportion, and seven
Judges are not too many for the State OF
Missouris dignity and Importance. New
York and Illinois have seven judges on their
Supreme Court, besides having intermediate
ippellat: courts

LINCOLN'S MELANCHOLY.

His Sympathetic Nature and His EarIv
Misfortunes.
Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years of his life, were great
~ impressed with the expression of pro
found melancholy his face always wore I
repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympathet-
ic and kindly nature. These strong charac-
teristics influenced, very happily, as it
proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance, to be eff
cient aids to political success; but in the
peculiar emergency which Lincoln. in the
providence of God, was called to meet, no
vessel of common clay could possibly have
become the ''chosen of the Lord
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole
life with sadness. His partner in the
grocery business at Salem, was s'Uncle''
Billy Green, of Tallula, Ill, who used at
aght, when the customers were few, to
hold the grammar while Lincoln recited his
lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
The story of his love for sweet Ann Rut-
ledge; and he, in return, offered what com
fort he could when poor Ann died, and Lin
coins great heart nearly broke.

There are many who can sympathiZe with
