Bloody Crime.

Mrs. Jacob Terry, aged IS, living
near White Cottage, was found dead
in bed Thursday afternoon with her
throat cut from ear to ear. The COR
oner has gone to hold an inquest.
The couple were only married last
April, Mrs. Terry being daughter
OF James Williams, neighbOring
farmer. She had evidently been
asleep when attacked, as there were
no signs Of a struggle, though the
bed was crimson hued.
The bloody razor was found In q
bureau drawer. There Ia no trace Of
the husband and no cause known for
the crime. The husband has been
captured and has confessed to the
brutal deed. d.--New Lexington Herald.

We see clearly through your de-
ceptious filth in the above quotation,
although we are not in the habit of
taking much notice to such small
things, we will correct our worthy
friend (?) in some Of his false state
ments. We deny the ProhibitiOnists
having anything to do with the con-
vention now in session at Columbus,
or any other SO called temperance
movement. The Prohibitionists are
q political party, and not temper
ance society. They are opposed to
local option-tO government control
and tax or license-or any other TEN
PERANoE movements against the sa-
loon system. So this was one lie
they made; and two or three others

full Sentinel matter, for which they

Now 1t seems strange to me that
those two church members will write
and publish such lies. One is Cath.

We presume both are bible readers
and have read, no doubt, more than
once, that "all liars shall have their
part in the lake that burns with fire

member would try to go straight.
Now If you can't tell the truth please
keep your face shut. I have not been

On Wednesday morning Of last
week the travelling public, that were
80 fortunate or unfortunate as they
may have deemed it, to be going
south on the O. H. v. & T. were al
most besuaded out of their seats by q

to do the work of ofinstituting the tenn

Mrs. Emma Bell, of Columbus, the

repaired to the hall to arrange for
the work. Long before the shades of
night crept down on the treasure la
den hills around Murray City, a good
ly number ofknights and ladies had
assembled, willing to offer them
selves up as sacrifice to the tempest
tossed power of the Nanny Goat.
We are not acquainted with the

Hunting the Walrus.

Mr.. Arnold Pike tells of a walrus
hunt in Bird Bay, to the north Of
Spitzbergen. The bay was full of
fast ice, but eastward the sea was fair
ly open and the hunter was rowing
slowly back to the sloop, when the
harpooner suddenly laid aside his
glass and headed the boat for black
mass which the mirage magnitied in
to the size of small house, but
which was really walrus:
'The walrus raises his head, and
we are motionless," says Mr.. Pike.
''It is intensely still, and the scraping
of piece of ice along the boat seems
like the roar of railway train passing
overhead on some bridge. Down goes
the head, and we glide forward again.
The walrus is uneasy; again and again
he raises his head and looks around
with quick motion, but we have the
sun right at our back, and he never
notices us. At last we are within q
few feet, and with shout of tVek
op, gamlingr" wake up, old boy)
which breaks the stiffness like shot,
the harpooner is ON his feet, his
weapon clasped in both hands above
his head. AS the walrus plunges into
the sea, the iron is buried in his side,
and with quick twist to prevent the
head from slipping out of the same
slit that it has cut in the thick hide,
the handle is withdrawn and thrown
into the boat. No. 2, who, with a
turn round the forward thwart, has
been paying out the line, now checks
it, as stroke and the ''hammelmand,
facing forward, hang back on their
oars to check the rush. Dumping and
scraping the ice, we are towed along
for about five minutes, and then stop
as the walrus comes to the surface to
breathe. In the old days the lance
would finish the business, but now it
is the rifle. He is facing the boat. |
sight for one of his eyes, and let him
have both barrels, without much effect
apparently, for away we rush for two
or three minutes more, when he is up
again, still facing the boat. He seems
to care no more for the solid Express
bullets than if they were peas; but he
is slow this time, and, as he turns to
dive, exposes the fatal spot at the
back of his head and dies. New

strong current of air blew the empty

strong current of air blew the empty
shells at once into the central division.
The third grade of peanuts, or what
remains after the second picking. is
then turned into q machine which
crushes the shells and separates them
from the kernels. These are sold to
manufacturers of candy while the
shells are ground up and used for
horse bedding. So no part of this
little fruit, vegetable or nut, which
ever it may turn out to be, is finally
wasted, but all serves some useful pur-
pose.
The peanut is little patriot, be-
cause it helped the poor soldiers when
the war was over; it has stood by the
poor farmers during many a desperate
season, and now furnishes employment
for thousands of laborers, not only in
Norfolk, but in many factories at
other towns in its section of country.
It creates a steadily increasing in
dustry, and there begins to be de-
mand for our peanuts in foreign
countries, as they are far less oleagin-
GUS and more agreeable to the taste
than those grown in Africa, SO there
is fair prospect for profitable ex-
port trade in the future. New Orleans

The Famous Carrara Ouarries.

The Carrara Italy marble quar-
ries, which are 400 or 500 in number,
are situated far above the town, in
the midst of the grandest and most
savage scenery. The soft aerial hues
which distance lends to the mountains
disappear on nearer approach. The
great peaks stand up against the sky
in fantastic forms. No trees or YER
dure clothe their naked sides, no flow
ers grow, no water flows to fertilize
that soil. The 5000 quarrynen who
are busy here appear as ants crawling
on the vast hillsides. The marble is
quarried by dynamite. Every mo-
ment explosions rend the air, and
huge fragments fly up as if expelled
from volcano. Often the mine has
to be placed in the perpendicular face
of precipice. Then the workman is
lowered by rope and hangs sus-
pended, ''like the samphire gatherer,
'twixt earth and heaven. dreadful
trade" About 16O,O tons of mar
BILE are annually exported, of which
much goes to America The guam
tity is inexhaustible. The entire mass
of the Monte Sagro, $500 feet high,
which dominates Carrara, is solid
marble.
One of the most famous quarries is
in the valley of the Polraccio. From
this were extracted in Roman times
the 100 tons of marble that served
for the construction of Trajan's col
umn at Rome. Here Donatello got
the block which he carved into his st.
George, and Michael Angelo the one
for his Moses. From here also came
the huge block mentioned in the me-
moirs Benvenuto Cellini, which served
for the colossal Neptune of Ammanati
in the middle of the fountain of the
Piazza della Signoria at Florence.
Unlike the miner, who burrows un-
derground, he works in binding
glare of light. The fierce heat of the
Italian sun beats upon him in sum-
mer. The cold blast of the tramon-
tana, rushing from the gorges of the
Apennines, chills him in winter. Con-
stantly exposed to danger, seeing his
companions killed and wounded by
his side, trained to rapid action, and
with every faculty of mind and body
on the alert, accustomed to dominate
the rude forces of nature-he has de-
veloped into an Independent and pow
erful type of an.-English Illus

New Theory About Sun Heat.

One of the profound thinkers of the
day advances new theory to account
for the heat that is produced by the
suns rays. The popular idea has been
that the sun is an enormous body of fire,
and that combustion causes the heat.
On this theory it is held that the sun
will burn out i'll about five Thousand
years, as certain scientists claim, the
loss is made up by the fall of meteoric
bodies upon the suns surface. But
the new idea is that the heat is pro-
duced by the rapid motion of the suns
rays as they pass through the atmos.
phere on their approach to the earth.
In support of this claim, it is urged that
if the sun is n burning body the heat
must necessarily be more intense the
nearer one gets to the source of it.
But it is clearly demonstrated fact
that the air five or six miles above the
earth's surface is intensely cold, also
upon the highest mountain tops, and
the region of perpetual snow is clearly
defined. The rapid-motion theory
suggests the dynamo and various elec
trical possibilities, the further in
vestigation of which will furnish fer
tile field for the ambitious student OF
practical electric science. New York

Tea-GrOwing in the United States.

The British Foreign Office is calling
attention to possible industry of this
country which has attracted little or
no attention here, but which the Eng
lishmen think promises great things.
The Office has published report from
the British Consul at Charleston, S.
c., on tea growing in that part of the
country. He declares that the climate
and soil are both eminently adapted
to the growth of the plant, and says
that experiments give promise of
great success. The report gives the
opinions of experts on the quality of
the tea, showing that it grades high,
being worth something like thirty five
cents pound wholesale. The yield re-
ported is large, and as the plants are
yet young, much better things are
promised in the near future. All this
is of the greatest interest here, seeing
that the tea plant will grow to perfec-
ton on the gulf coast of Mississippi,
where some luxuriant specimens may
be seen at Ocean Springs, and it will
doubtless do rs well all through the
uplands of this State. OF course the
quality of the product depends upon
the character of the soil, but few in
expensive experiments will show what
tea will do in this part of the world,
periments may be able to open road
to fortune for himself and his neigh
bors. New Orleans Picayune.

WISE WORDS.

Backsliding often begins by looking
back.
1t is the Joy of truth to be looked in
the face.
A fool sometimes builds his house
of books.
A genius is never taken to be ono
by his looks.
True religion always puts sunshine
in the heart.
1t isn't the biggest horn that makes
the best music.
In the arithmetic of heaven nothing
counts but love.
Praise and doubt cannot both live
in the same heart.
Growth in knowledge is the only
cure for self-conceit.
Thare is as much kill in selfish
heart as there is in musket.
Be grateful for your blessings and
it will make your trials look small.
There can be no permanent or abid-
ing good in unconsecrated wealth.
Benevolence without love has no
more heart in it than grindstone.
A flower will have something sweet
to say to you, no matter where yoa put
It.
Perseverance can accomplish Won
ders, but it cannot make bad egg
hatch.
Build fence anywhere, and the first
boy who comes along will want to
climb it.
1t takes more than philosophy to
make n man smile when he has the
toothache.
One reason why some men swear, is
because it does not take any courage
or manliness to do it.
Many man will open the front
door for discomfort who tries his best
to keep burglars out of his house. -
