The town of Paris in the State
of Texas was the scene Of savagry
last week the like of which has not
been witnessed in this country,
since the depredations of the red
men years ago. Henry Smith,
negro, caught little Myrtle Vance,
aged only three and one-half years,
took her to field just within the
corporate limits and, after violent
ly assaulting the innocent babe,
took one little limb in each hand
and literally torn her in twain.
He then concealed the body Of his
victim and escaped. The iuhu-
man wretch was afterwurd caught
and met death ut the hands of AN
angry mob in horrible manner.
He was placed upon a scafTold six
feet square and ten feet high, Sc
curely boupd, within view of all
beholders, thousands in number.
Here the victim was tortured for
nearly an hour by red-hot iron
brands thrust against his culver
ing body. Commencing at the
feet the brands were placed against
him inch by inch, until they we're
thrust against the face. Then be-
ing apparently dead, Kerosene was
poured upon his body, cottonseed
hulls placed beneath him and set
on fire. After this last act the
mans tortures soon ceased.
Gov, Hogg proposes to punish
the leaders of the mob and has
called on the authorities for their
names The Governor is taking
the right stand in the matter and
all good citizens hope that those
who participated IN the barbarous
snd fiendish acts of heathenism
may be promptly and vigorously
prosecuted. That may partly
wipe out the crimson stain on
the escutcheon of the Lone Star
State. We do not for single
moment argue that the fiend did
not deserve the punishment; but
if passion is to govern in such
matters what's the use of high
salaried judges, police officers, etc?
An ordinary lynching would have
been horrible enough but the aw-
full means resorted To by the Paris
people would certainly put to
shame a band of savage Indians.
Such fiendish barbarity and bru-
tally cannot help but stamp out
all feelings of christianity and HUI
mainly from the hearts of the
men, women and children who wit
ness them. Can those who took
part in that revengeful, bIoodthlrs-
ty mob, who witnessed and APP
plauded the excruciating tortur-
ing to death of Smith, have any re-
spect for each other as civilized
human beings2 What will the
other nations of the earth say Of
our glorious country, if we do not
punish such unlawful, degrading
and inhuman mobs2

The House of Delegates has
passed a resolution requiring the
Auditor and Secretary of State to
report to that body tabulated state
ments of the amounts of fees re-
ceived by them during the past
year. There is no doubt but that
there is room for reform in those
offices. They get too much for the
work they do; but the salaries of
the Governor and Supreme Judges
are too low.

Whispered feet and sweet,
That scarcely can be heard,
Our ears will sudden meet.
And all life's hours along
That whisper may vibrate-
And, like a wizards song.

Sometimes a sudden look,
That falleth from some face,
Will steal into each nook

And sway our ev'ry will,
