At Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 2lst inst,
VIM B. Binder shot and killed his wife (who
was Miss Eva Culton of Waynesboro' in this
county, where her mother, Mrs. M. A. Culton

and then killed himself No cause for this
horrible tragedy is known. He is represented
to have been a sober and industrious man,
and that he lived happily with his family. He
was about 36 years old and his wife about 80.
Temporary insanity was most probably the
cause.
Last Summer, Mrs. Binder was on visit to
her mother in Waynesboro,' when she was

Fireworks in the Ocean.

The ocean too has its living Ian
terms or phosphorescent animals, and
among these jel!y-fsh and sea-ane-
none are very numerous. Some
times they work like pillars of fire,
sometimes like stars, and sometimes
like fiery serpents, flashing out red,
green, yellow and lilac rays. Many
luminous sea creatures are very small,
not larger than spark, but these
gather in such masses, that in the
Indian Ocean the water often looks
like a great sea of molten metal; and
a naturalist who bathed among them
in the Pacific said that he found him
self luminous for hours afterward,
while the sands on which the insects
were stranded at low tide cleaned
like grains of gold. The bottom OF
the ocean is magnificent with its

Another fish seems to be decorated

Senator Hill in speaking of the
Force Bill in his speech in New York
Monday, says: "There is another
issue in this campaign of equal, if not
greater, importance than the tariff,
which affects the rigts and liberties of
every citizen. The Republican party
seems to be irrevocably committed to
the passage of the Federal Election
bill, and although it must be evident
to the most patriotic and thoughtful
members of that organization that it
is piece of political foolishness, only
equaled by its mendacity, there has
appeared for them no escape from its
advocacy"
Federal Elections cannot well be
regulated and controlled without in
reference with State elections-they
are almost inseparable where they are
held at the same time. The exist
ing Federal election law, bad as its
provisions are, together with the dan
ger of the enactment of the Force
Bill have already compelled several
States to separate their State elections
at large expense and great inconven-
fence to the people. Our elections
machinery is costly enough already,
and our elections should not be need
lessly multiplied.
The proposed bill usurps the rights
and prerogatives of the State, breaks
down all the safeguards which have
existed for century, and places all
our elections at the mercy of Federal
officials who hold their offices for life,
The bill is desperate attempt to
prop up the falling fortunes of once
great political party, is urged
from the narrowest and worst of mo-
tives, and is unworthy place among
the statutes of the American Repub-
: lie.

A Lost Art" Recovery.

Scientist in Quebec say that one of
the most wonderful discoveries made
of recent years is that just made by a
blacksmith of that city. tits the long
lost art, known to the pyramid builder
of Egypt, of hardening copper. Axes
and other edge tools made of hardened
copper have been exhibited by him,
which in edge and temper rivals the
best steel of the present day. He pre-
sentcd sheet of this hardened copper
II of a line in thickness and had it tes-
ted at the government rifle range at
Quebec. At the first shot, fired from
40 yards distance, the bullet was shiv.
cred into thousand fragments; on the
second, the missile, striking the copper
more fairly was completely tlattened,
but remained imbedded in the plate.
which is merely dented slightly, with
out cracking in any way. This is
claimed by experts to be vastly super
ior anything the best steel could do
under like circumstances, and the
matter is to be brought under the i'm
mediate notice of the British lords OF
the admiralty.
