DR. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES at eighty-fve is entitled to be called the grand old man among living authors who have been prominent in English literature. His great age is brought more forcibly to mind when it is re- membered that he and Poe were born the same year. The old saying about preachers sons is not borne out by the history of Emerson, Holmes and Lowell, all the sons of clergymen.

THE steamship Gothia has recently landed load of steerage passengers at Halifax, destined for the western states, over the Canadian Pacific rail- road. The question this experimental shipment of immigrants raises is how the pauper labor and other laws re- strictive of miscellaneous immigration are to be enforced against this Canadian flood? The subject is worthy the seri- ous consideration of the government.

SHOT HER FRIEND.

Miss Julia White, Young Woman of Pine
 Blun. shoots Her Friend-Playing With a
 Gun She Supposed Was Unloaded-Ths
 Victim Himself Loaded the Weapon.
 PINE BLUFF. Ark, Sept. 4.-"Look out, Mir. Taylor, I'm going to shoot These were the words jestingly re. marked by Miss Julia White, a young society lady of this city, Sunday after noon, as she picked up a 22-caliber Marlin rifle, and, swinging it over her shoulder, pulled the trigger without taking aim, sending bullet crashing through Mr. Gibson Taylor's skull,
 JUST OVER THE RIGHT TEMPLE.
 The particulars of the sad tragedy were learned yesterday. Sennett, the scene of the accident, being small place about I6 miles south of here, with no telegraphic communication. Misses Julia and Emma White, twin daugh- ters of Maj. N. T. White, a prominent attorney of this city, have been the guests of Miss Sennett. daughter of Capt. M. c. Sennett, at Sennett. for the past week. Saturday evening Mr. Gib- son Taylor, nephew of Capt. E. l.. Tay- Tor. of Winchester, Ky, and Mir. Will Allen, also former Kentuckian, went down
 TO CALL ON THE YOUNG LADIES.
 After singing some hymns the young people returned to the veranda, when Miss White spied the rife and the tragedy was enacted. Previous to this Miss White had been shooting at spar rows, and emptied the last cartridge in the gun. While it was standing in the hall Mir. Taylor himself reloaded t to shoot at some birds, but failing to see any returned the weapon to its place. The time between Miss Whites excla- nation and the shooting was so short that Taylor could not warn the young lady. Surgeons were at once sum- moned, but two attempts to extract the bullet have been ineffective. though three pieces of fractured bones were taken from the skull. Reports late to- night state that there is no hope for Gibson's recovery.

IT seems that in a recent tragedy in South Carolina the coroner himself opened fire. Certainly the South Caro- lima coroner is not one of those men who don't know anything about busi- ness. A coroner who thus provides subjects for himself would know how to vote any amount and all kinds of taxes if he were in congress.

tective Philbrick went in the front door
and before the players were fairly aware Of
what had happened he was among them.
The scene that followed was iaughable
to any one who was not concerned in 1t.
Cinnamon went in all directions, over tho
table, under the table, around the ends
and poured out Of the back and front
doors like sheep. Philbrick meanwhile
caught two unlucky Celestials ny their
pigtails, and was getting his handouts
ready when q line Of Cinnamon, driven
back from the back door by Capt Hanna,
came upon him. In the confusion the two
captives tried to escape. pulling in oppo-
site directions. One Chinaman grabbed
the detective and would not let 60 until ne
received q thump on the head. Afte. the
trouble was over and the Cinnamon got
