BOUGHT HIS MASTERS FREEDOM.

A little incident at the police station yesterday afternoon attracted comment from various sources, on account of the realistic romance it embodied. An old negro walked into the office and asked in mild and respectful manner if his young marster," M. c. Coin, was there. He was told that Coin had been fined S2 for being drunk, and was on the rock pile. He applied to MT. Dye. keeper of the rock pile, and had a talk with Coin. The latter was very drunk when ar rested, and the recorder fined him $2 He halls from Corinth. Miss.
 How much" asked the old negro, will you let him out for?'
 MT. Dye replied that S1.75 would pur- chase his liberty. The old man pulled out a tobacco sack and unloosening the strings, got out s2. The young man was released. Being asked why he was interested in the young man, the old man said:
 ''I belonged to his father endurin' the war, and no better man ever lived. When hear 'em say young master was in de rock pile I jes' cum up heah ter see him. I'd give my last cent 'foh he shud stay in de prison."
 The young man and the old ex-slave walked away together. No one ever learned the old mans name.-Memphis Commercial-Appea1

As time went on safeguards were thrown about the measure and it has come to be recognized as a wise and economic law when properly administered. There is no denying that its provisions and scope could be greatly improved, but that is the duty Of future legislatures. As to the present board, the Sun has not the slightest grounds for it's attack The law has been compiled with to the letter. All publishing has been done that the law will permit, and the fact that the Sun got none of it this year will not blind the eyes of the public to the real cause of this foolish democratic outbreak.

When it is borne in mind that the class numbers but 327 out of a total enrolment of 2517 in Yale, the figures become suggestive. They are compiled from the resords handed in by the members of the class. Of the sum named. S135,OOO was for room rent charges, $25O. .OOO for board, $2OO,OOO for tuition to the university and $35,OOO for books.-Home Journal.

The Republican prints this morning a letter from Mrs. Frances s. Sampson of this city, the wife of the United States minister to Ecuador, in which she de- scribes in a most interesting manner an institution of winch correspondents have not written for the reason, per haps. that they were not admitted to its gruesome interior, Fl Hospicio, a hospital which has no counterpart in the United States. We naturally imag- inc that there is a crudity about it's management which might be improved upon, but as Mrs. Sampson observes, we are without even crude arrange -ment for taking care of lepers, of whom the writer says there are thousands in the United States without any form of restraint, threatening a spread of this most loathsome and deadly disease.

The news from China yesterday was far less satisfactory than that of the
 two preceding days. It CLOUDIER conveyed no story of
 IN THE disaster, but tended to
 EAST. cast a doubt upon the
 cheering information of Monday that the foreigners in Pekin were safe. Even on Monday the good news was surrounded by contradictory or, at the best, mystifying reports re- garding the movements of Prince Ching. upon whom everything depend- ed. It was stated that he was advanc- ing to the relief of the foreigners, or, rather, upon Prince Tuan, the dictator. It was even then surmisee that he might be in Pekin-ana~ft was further reported that he had been there some Nays and lad taken possession of the rtfSsE. The only thing irreconcilable Vwith the story of his presence in Pekin was the inability to get news from there.
 All the stories indicated that the foreigners had been relieved on July 5 and four days later nothing had been sent out purporting to describe condi- tions at Pekin since that date. In slight confirmation of this gloomy ar ray of contradictions and inconsistent cies came a statement yesterday from
  Shanghai, the source of all the pre- vicus good news, that the report of the relief of the ministers and the dis persing of the revolutionisrs did not re- ceive general credence there.
 The most startling and alarming word. though, reached London from Chinese official sources. That is. that the dowager empress, who had been re- ported to be dead. had resumed power on June 30. which, by the way, was the date fixed in the reports of last week of the slaughter of the foreigners in Pekin.
 It is quite possible that the Shanghai reports of last Saturday and Sunday emanated from rebel sources. The Chinese are the finest diplomats in the world and in the event that the whole sale massacres previously reported oc- cured, they must have understood the shock the news would give to the world and the terrible activity that would be everywhere aroused. Nothing would be more natural than to endeavor to ar rest this and delay the preparations for revenge. The truth, of course, could not always be concealed, but it's revival would not produce the same worldwide revulsion of feeling and the revenge, though it would be taken at last. would not be so fierce and com prehensiYs

The board of supervisors is divided upon proposition to reduce the valua- tion of farming lands for purposes of taxation, by ten per cent of the assess ment. It is argued on behalf of the reduction that this year has been less profitable to farmers than previous ones and that they should be relieved of part of their burden. The opposi- tion point out. on the other hand, that so much money must be raised and if the land valuation is reduced the rate will have to be raised, increasing the burden on all other kinds of property, and thereby increasing the share of the territory in the taxes of the county.
