The r TO TRY IT.

Just now the most conspicuous Grim.
inal I'm the world is kemmler. the Buff
falo, N. u, murderer. who will he the
first To suffer death by electricity
by order of the law. Sew.
eral other murderers are affected
bv the recent decision of the court of
appeals, but when II comes their turn
the novelty of the thing will be worn
of. Kemmler's crime was the killing
of his mistress, Tillie Ziegler. in Buff
falo on March 81. 1859. The pair had
eloped from Philadelphia two years be-
fore, the woman leaving her husband
aud Kemmler his wife. lie killed her
during a jealous quarrel. was arrested
and promptly convicted. The defense
has made a gallant. but unsuccessful
fight to prove that electricide is uncon-
stitutional.
The first practical experiment is be-
ing awaited with much interest by the
world at large, and with anxious curl
osity by electricians i'm particular.
There is N doubt that electricity can
be made TO kill instantaneously and
painlessly when once the proper
method be learned. Whether the max
ers of the apparatus with which il is
intended 10 kill Kemmler have really
discovered the secret Of the application
OF electricity 10 secure the ends sought,
there appears to be grave uncertainty

at least in the minds of rival
students and inventors. From the
nature Of things the experiment,
though far from being so important as
many others, will stand rs the most
curious and unique In scientific annals.
IL not already at that stage, the appa-
ratus after one or two trials a be
brought to absolute perfection. When
once that end is attained, electricity IN
a substitute for hanging will doubtless
soon be adopted by all governments
that retain capital punishment on their
statute books. In New York ut least
"the duh, sickening thud" is forever re-
placed by the "momentary spasm.'

While Chicago has been putting of
the worlds fair i'm the consciousness
that no M could now get the better of
her. Jamaica has gone OF on her own
hook and announced that an exposition
in honor of the discovery of America
shall be opened on the 9th of next
January at Kingston, her port and
capital. Besides the West Indian Is
lands and South America, Great Brit
ain and the United States will be in
vited to make exhibits: but a home in
dustry, the celebrated Jamaica rum
will probably excite the largest share
of attention. Chicago and the Chica.
goans will be green with jealousy.

The EIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT.

The first of May, the day set by the
building trades union men to reduce n
days labor 10 eight hours, draws on
apace. yet the country does not appear
TO be greatly agitated. Anything like
a violent, disastrous strike is improba-
BILE. The experience of the past few
years has taught both employers and
employed moderation. tact and forbear-
ance. Each class feels more and more
disposed TO do the square thing. What
will he the outcome Of the forthcom-
ing conflict, should there be a conflict,
no M at this moment can tell. One
thing is reasonably certain there will
be no violence. The working classes
have learned the value of public
opinion, and will countenance nothing
that will set public opinion against
them.

AN UNSATISFACTORY FAILURE.

a vigorous blow is dealt 60 a large
class Of physicians by the Chicago
Herald, which protests against certain
easy going practices into which they are
falling. Until within a late period the
physicians announcement of a death
from heart failure" was never heard.
now IL is the fashion in medical circles;
everybody, almost, who dies expires
from heart failure" OF course heart
failure is included in the death of
everything animal i'm its nature, but it
is not in the cause of death to the ex-
tent in which il is used. When the
heart ceases TO beat il is probably the
result of certain causes which have pre-
ceded il and produced the failure.
Medical me of a high order of ability
owe il 10 themselves not to encourage
this slipshod nomenclature. Every
quack who lacks the scientific know
ledge to diagnose the disease which
kills his patient will ilippantly escape
responsibility for his ignorance by
terming IL heart failure" There can
be accumulated no data of value Of a

4 jolly old time did the citizens of
the new state of Wyoming, that is to
be, have at Cheyenne oil Thursday
after the receipt of the news of the
passage by the house of the admission
bill of that territory. The Rocky
Mountain News' special from that city
states that realty values advanced %
per cent on receipt of the news, and
there is a general feeling of bright
times ahead. There is no doubt but
that the dignity of statehood will add
greatly To the material and general
welfare of the new state; and may she

san Francisco has a girl who has
started four fires during the past few
days. The incendiary mania is hard
to understand In an adult, but when 1t
breaks out in a child reason Is well nigh
baHled. In this instance il seems to be
a case of pure cussedness. Without
doubt this is the most dangerous form
Of insanity extant. and persons 30
afflicted have nc right to be at large.
The three or four deliberate attempts
at incendiarism in this city have prob
ably been the work of n man, who IL
not a lunatic on the subject of fires is
at heart a monstrous criminal, for
whom, IL caught, hanging should be re-
garded in the light of q luxury.

A Good Change in College Manners.

Twenty-Five years ago the exuberant
vitality OF students had vile habit OF
spending its energies in the unhanging
gates, in the tearing up of side walks, in
those multidudinous escapes with ac-
counts of which the alumni OF 80 or go,
with more or less OF shame, are now apt
to regale one another. 1t is certain that
a great change has taken place. Moth
ing is more true than that there is vastly
less of riotous disorder in our colleges
than there was generator ago.
What has been the cause of this? ? The
answer, have no doubt, is to be found
very largely, if not chiefly, in the moral
power OF regularly prescribed gymnastic
exercises and athletic sports.-President
C. X. Adams in the February Forum.
