A Brahmin 8r,nxs III Luck.

from the Times Of India
What a wonderfully favored land the Puniab
is, and what splendid specimens of humanity it
produces. Punjabees have their prejudices.
and one OF them is that they are not over par
tial to Brahmins. An officer who was stationed
at Perrin once had amusing illustration of
this.
He was going out for an afternoons fishing
In the harbor with q Punjabee native officer
and four or five sepoys. As the officer was 90
ing down to the boat he passed Brahmin hsv-
iidar who was imping up to the barracks, hav-
ing Injured his leg some days before. The Of
fcer naturally stopped and asked the man how
he was and then went on TO his fshing.
But 1t was an unlucky afternoon apparently.
The fish; which had been plentiful, refused to
bite, and, after pulling the boat from one part
Of the harbor to the other, In search Of Q favor
able spot, which could not be found, the oficer
turned to the Punjabes 1emsdar and said: II
think We had better take the boat back. don't
fancy we shall catch any fish today"
And how could you expect to catch any Ash
sahib, after what you did this sftern0on?' said
the lemedsr, with . strong tome Of remonstrance
In his voice.
"And wha. was that?" asksd the ofacer, q
good deal surprised.
why, sahib," aid the jemedar, when We
were coming down 10 the boat did you not stop
and speak to that Brahmin, who has hurt his
leg? II you Will speak 70 Brahmin when you
are setting ont on any affair you must not ex-
pect 1t 70 prosper" And the gloom that shad-
owed the jemeGar's handsome face showed his
evident opinion that courtesy, however excel
lent thing in itself, should be very carefully
regulated when Brahmin was in question

Novel Way of Springing a Trap.

Clinton Z. Dixon, a cavalryman, was hanged
at Omaha yesterday morning for the murder of
Corporal Carter at Fort Niobrara. The federal
authorities misied morbid and curious people
by having the execution five hours ahead Of the
time announced. Dixon was intoxicated when
he shot Carter and was melted to the act by a
colored woman whom Carter, getting under
orders to clear the camp of such characters. had
spanked with plank when she refused to 60.
Dixon has been three times reprieved because
dates set for his execution fell on holidays or
convention dates. The sentiment against hang
ing was so strong that the marshal provided
three electric buttons, each being touched by
different person, that none should know who
sprung the trap.

Terrible Domestic Tragedy.

August Grutz of Burlington, Iowa, on Thurs
day cut his wife's throat, shot his mother-in-
law and then cut his own throat. His wife had
left him couple of days ago because of his
brutality. He grasped her head and pushed
the revolver in her mouth, but before he could
pull the trigger she knocked the weapon from
his hand. He seized her again and drew a
razor. He held to her right wrist despite her
struggles, and began slashing at her throat
She warded of the blows with her left arm
until the flesh was terribly mutilated He at
last reached her neck and made a long but not
very deep cut from one ear to the other, and
the unfortunate woman sank to the ground with
the blood gushing from the CHASTITY wound.
Grutz then drew the razor across his own
throat, infiicting terrible cash. Grutz and his
wife and raother-in-law are still alive. but the
husband and wife are in critical condition.
