A CLERICAL BRUTE.-Rcv Charles
Douglas, of London, was arrested yes
terday charged with trying to indecent
ly assault young girls at Paddington.
The cries of one of the children attract
ed the attention of man who had just
arrived in the vicinity, and he ran to
see what the trouble was. He was
Mortified at the sight that met his eyes,
for the little girl was, of course, power
less i'll the clutches Of the brute, The
man grasped Douglas, who made most
desperate resistance, fighting and biting
and every way seeking to break away
from his captor. 1t was no use, how
ever, and the villain soon found that he
had met his match. Then he adopted
other tactics. Wheedling and whining,
he set forth the terrible disgrace that
would come upon him ifhis offense was
made public, and offered his captor a
large sum of money if he would allow
him to escape. This was as fruitless as
his fighting, and his captor, keeping a
firm hold of the brute's necg, marched
him along until he met a constable, to
whom he gave his prisoner in custody.
The police magistrate remanded Doug
las for trial.

IL ITS description of the lynching OF

IN ITS description Of the lynchlng OF
a negro at Port Jcrvis, New York, last
Thursday night, for the same crime for
which members of his race receive the
same punishment in the South, the
New York Hauld says: can excited
crowd Of fully one thousand men had
assembled. and when the negro arrived
thev seized him and, placing a moose
about his neck, dragged him through
the streets in a half nude condition a
distance Of nearly half a mile and then
hanged him to a maple tree until he
was dead" This was not done in a
sparscly settled country where there
are no policeman and where jails arc
far oil and very insecure; but in Il
denscly populated city, with a large po-
lice force. with secure iails, and the
hanging took place in the full glare of
electric lights. And yet the poor lgno-
rant and deceived negroes assembled
in their churches throughout the COM
try only two days before, TO pray for
the suppression of negro lynching in
the South, and to threaten the white
people Of this section with negro insm-
rection. murder, fire and pillage, unless
they cease to resort to such punishment
for such crime. Negro lynching in
the South will stop spontaneously with
the stoppago of negro outrases upon
white women, but not before.

WHEN provision shall be made for

Grant was alive, and when there must

of the war between the States than
there are now, he said S31 100000 q year
would supply all possible pension de-
mands. There arc now about half Il
million pension claims pending, and
that number is constantly increasing
When they shall be granted, the annual
pension account, thirty years after the
close of the war, will be more than
1900, 100000 q year, a sum that is posi-
lively appalling. As it is well known
that fully one half the pensions are
given to men who have nojust claim to
them, the urgent necessity for a reyis-
ion of the list is the more apparent.

WHEN YOUNG men change their o2in-
ions the charitable excuse for their in
consistency is the possibility that those
opinions were formed in youth from
INSTRUMENTATION, and that maturer years
have removed the scales from their
ewes. But when middic-ased men, who
have long entertained theirs, suddenly
change them, they naturally deprive
themselves of the excuse referred to.
Then, too, and just as naturally, g'lsh-
crs almost invariably suggest doubts OF
their sincerity. Those doubts may be
utterly groundless, but they will come,
all the same. Therefore, when Col.
Charles Marshall's gushing culogy upon
Gen. Grant in New York last Monday
is compared with the opinion he enter
tanned for him in Virginia when Gen
Lee died, the Colonel's consistency moi
only vanishes, but the uncnviabie quail
ity of doubt attaches itself to his sin
cerity. Praise Of conquerors is more in
accord with human nature when il
comes from the victors than from the
Vancuishcd.

BIRDS AS PRoTECroRs.-A French
writer believes that the enormous in
crease in locusts in Algeria, which
caused so much suffering last year, may
have been largely due to the slaughter
of the ostriches. partridges, quails, and
other birds, which have been almost ex-
terminated by the unrestricted raids of
French hunters. His calculations show
that single quail may devour 1000
locusts daily, or 10000 or $4,000 during
the period before the insects are too
urge. When it is further considered
that $4,000 quails were shipped from
Tunis for France in single day in
May of last year, some idea may be had
of the extent to which the insects are
aided by the sportsmen. The ostrich,
also is very fond of locusts, and the es-
innate is made that, although 4 22S diff
ferent articles, including food remains,
sand. small stones, etc, have been found
in the stomach of one ofthese creatures
it is capable of eating 10000 locusts
daily.

MARRIED THE WRONG WOMAN
A Sumter county, Ca, farmer, having
accumulated some property, decided
that he wanted to get married. He
came to Americus shortly afterward
and made known his desire to a we'll
known merchant. The latter agreed
to help him all he could and named
over several good looking women whom
he thought would make good and faith
full wives. Among others he mentioned
two buxom and comely widows OF the
same name.
The matrimonially inclined farmer
decided that he wished to wed one OF
the widows His mercantile friend
agreed to do the negotiating and short
ly aftcrward called upon certain lady
and informed her of the honor his bash
ful friend wished to confer upon her
The widow, knowing that the farmer
was blessed with pretty good share of
this worlds goods, expressed, without
moments hesitation, her willingness
to join her lot with his.
Preparations were ut once made for
the wedding The day arrived and the
prospective groom procured marriage
license and started for the home OF the
future partner Of his joys and sorrows
Just here the funny part of the affair
came in.
The farmer had never seen either of
the two widows. Both bore the same
name, and he GOT them mixed up in his
mind The result was that he went to
the wrong house When ne found him
self alone with the lady, he blurted out,
''I've come to marry you.
After moments hesitation the wild
ow confessed that she didn't care if she
did 'stcp it Off" with him. They ac
cordingly proceeded to preachers
house, where the twain were made one.
A few days aftcrward the newly
married planter came TO the city and
went TO look for his friend He was
telling him Of his ncwly-found happi-
ness when the merchant suddenly ex-
claimed with a groan
'.AIcrcifrl heaven, man You mar
ried the wrong widow"
'Oh, that don't make any difference"
was the reply. I'm very well pleased
with the wife I've got
