Horrible Lynching.

Lee Walker, the negro who assaulted Miss
Mollie McCadden, near Bond Station. Miss, re-
Gently, and on the same day assaulted colored
girl, was captured at the home of his father, in
New Albany, Miss, and taken to Jail.
At IL o'clock on the night of July 90 q mob
of men broke down the Jail gates and took
away the prisoner, notwithstanding the fact Of
the presence of % Deputy Sheriff. In capt
uring the negro he wasstabbed and slashed IN
mercifully. He fought 6ercely but was hustled
off to a telegraph pole, and after his throat
had been cut, he was strung up. When he
clutched at the rope big man caught hold of
his feet and hung to them until the negroes
neck cracked.
When the body was cut down II was kicked
and battered. The cry arose, Burn him T" A
large fire was made in the street and the naked
body was cremated, while the crowd laughed
and hooted. Then tho trunk was dragged
around through the streets, and hanged again.
Although there were no masks and no con-
cealment, the Coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict of death by hanging at the hands Of un-
known parties.
The negro was 10 years old. and his parents
corroborated his plea of uncomfortable inn
pulse saying that sinces he was Is years old he
had assaulted 20 or 80 women.

Progress of Cholera.

The cholera has broken out in Naples. Italy,
but there is little alarm felt. The disease is
rampant among the poorer classes of Moscow,
Russia. Much indignation was felt the other
day at the action of the Director of Prisons.
who, upon learning that there was cholera in
the Moscow prisons, ordered majority of the
prisoners to be removed to four other cities,
thus increasing the danger of infection.
An elaborate system for defending the coun-
try against cholera has been proposed by Sur
geon- General Wyman. DR.. Preston H. Bail
hache, of the Marine Hospital Service has
charge of the arrangements. 1t is proposed to
raise corps of several hundred physicians,
who shall observe immigrants travelling
through the country, in case cholera should
come to these shores. A hospital car is to be
attached to every train carrying immigrants
out of New York in charge of physician, part
of whose duties it will he to watch closely
every immigrant for symptoms of cholera. In
cases of illness the patients will be taken away
in special car to hospitals. The railroads will
agree to this plan, and will cooperate in fight.
ing the disease.

Senator Stanford,s Successor.

Gov. Markham, of California, recently APP
pointed George c. Perkins to succeed Senator
Leland Stanford in the United States Senate
The politicians were considerably surprised at
the appointment. Perkins has been promi nent
in California commercial and political life. He
is a self-made man, with keen eye for bust
ness opportunities. These have made him
several times millionaire. He went to San
Francisco 20 years ago from an interior County,
and he built up the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company until it has now 30 vessels. He
became widely known just after Denis Kearney
had his fight On the new Constitution. Per-
kins was the Republican nominee for Governor,
and he opposed the new Constitution, which
he declared would drive millions of capital
away from the State. He won after fierce
fight. One of the humors of the campaign
was the sobriquet Of Pinafore Perkins, which
the Chronicle gave to the candidate. Perkins
is man of fine presence and agreeable man
ners. He has clear skin, dark hair, and
closely trimmed beard and mustache. He is a
good, ready speaker.

Always on Top.

Gen. A. J. Smith, who commanded the fight
ing contingent OF the Army of the Tennessee in
the operations up Red River on the Banks
Expedition, has been exonerated by the Board
of Managers of the National Soldiers Home of
the charges preferred by Surgeon Weaver. of
the Home. against Gen. Smith, the Governor of
the Home. The Governor had accused Dr.
Weaver of insubordinaton, while counter
charges had been preferred by Gen. Smith.
The report fully exonerates the Governor
and orders the discharge of Surgeon Weaver
The charges made against the Governor arc
said to be the result OF conspiracy on the part
of party OF Kansas politicians to GUST the Gov
ernor and install Kansas man in his place.
The members of the Board, of which Gen.
W. u. Franklin is President have individually
wired their congratulations to the Governor
Drunkenness, dereliction OF duty. and abuse Of
the veterans were among the list of specif ca-
tions filed against Gen. Smith. But old "a
j." and his guerrillas generally came out of
any "scrimmage" in which they took part, on

CAMpERpowN ON Day DocK, SHOWING RAM.

tion of steam, but we know that the Anstrians
obtained the victory by the ram, and that the
Italians fought with their batteries only.
Many rams have been designed between the
years 1866 and 1893; but all. until the Katah-
din, were either rams and gunboats or rams
and torpedo-boats. 1t remained for Admiral
Ammen, U. S. n, 10 design a vessel which
should be ram. and nothing but ram.
From this brief history certain deductions can
be made. Perhaps the fact most clearly shown
is that two rams acting in concert are more
than match for any one ship even if she be
far superior TO either of the two This is
demonstrated by the sinking of the Indianols
by the William II. Webb and the Queen of the
West the remarkable success of the two Elicit
rams in fighting the eight Confederate rams
June 6, 1862 and by the sinking of the Varuna
by the Governor Moore and the Stonewall jack
son.

Gold Exports and Imports.

: The Chief Of the Bureau of Statistics, in his
statement of the exports and imports of gold
and silver reports that the exports of gold from
the United States during the IL months ending
June 80, 1892 amounted to sos, $50, 644, and
the imports to $2l, ia. 381; excess of exports,
$S7, sos, 463. During the corresponding period
OF the preceding year the exports were $50, 1885,
327, and the imports, 1888, 454; excess of ex-
ports, $495,s7
The exports of silver during the IL months
ending June 80. 1893, were $40, 1877, 319, and the
imports, $23, 193, 252; excess of exports, $17,-
544067. During the corresponding period of
the preceding year the exports were $32, 3d.
559 and imports 49, 955. 0s6; excess of exports,
2,S55,473 During the six months ended
June 30 the exports OF gold amounted to $73,-

of the protective deck; no matter what pun
ishment she herself might suffer, the great ship
would undoubtedly be sunk. If the overhang-
ing bow of the Kaiser Max could do such work
steaming at such an insignificant speed, would
not the whalebacks" make formidable rams?
In conclusion. 1t seems to the writer that the
financial question should be carefully consid-
cred. A battle-ship costs, perhaps, Sd, 600, 600
to construct, and about $500, 600 year to keep
in commission; or, allowing the interest to be
