A few years ago one Painbanc was accused
OF being in league with the police. He was for

known as 'TEspagnol" The charge against
Painblanc was not fully proved but his loyalty
was SO doubtful that he sentenced exile.
Rising from his chair in the obscure dive where
the trial was being held, he hurled his knife at
TEspagnol with unerring accuracy and the Judge
fell dead with the blade in his heart The police
rushed in and carried Painblanc to prison, the

Another alleged traitor was Albert Durin He
was condemned to death and two Apaches tied

Still the Picture Hat.

The classical large hat that never
goes really cut of fashion will be seen
this summer for large functions and
ceremonious occasions.
1t is trimmed this season with bou-
Quet of ostrich tips, set far back at the
left side and at the back
Instead Of the tips, the long "ama-
zone" is sometimes used, but the tips
are the newest and smartest
More science goes to the placing Ct
these feathers than might be mag
ined. The balance of the silhouette &c
ponds greatly on the trimming of the
hat, and 1t Is her understanding Of
this principle that makes the Partisan
mllliner SO successful.

RATHER QUEER.

As other States of the Union, Louis
lana has several companies of militia,
connected in battalions and regiments,
with officers of necessary rank. In. a
sense militia man or an officer of the
milish is presumed to be governed by
well defined military rules, one of which
is trial by courtmartial.
It can not be admitted that SUM
mary dismissal of an officer is condu-
Give to military ardor or to discipline.
The same observation may be applied to
non-conamissioned officer or one of
the rank.
1t appears from reports from New
Orleans that Major Cranes commission
has been revoked by the Governor and
he has been dismissed from the service.
It also appears that Major Crane has
charged that the muster rolls of the
field artillery have been padded, which
enabled the drawing of more money
than is justified This is a serious ac-
cusation which should be thoroughly
Investigated, but seemingly it has been
dismissed with wave of the hand and
Major Crane is relieved of duty.
In favor of Major Crane it is said
that he has been an officer in the Ma
tional Guard thirty years, and that his
record, military and civil, is excellent.
It may be well to inquire by what re-
cognized authority Major Cranes dis
nlissal was reached, when he was not
given an opportunity for defense, if
there were charges against him?
AT best the milish is not as popular
as it should be, as indicated by the few
companies in the State, limited in num-
Der, and such, apparently, autocratic
dismissal OF an officer will not strength
en- tne National Guard in the esteem of
the people.
Why should not the charges by Major
Crane be thoroughly aired?
Is it apprehended that some develop
nelits may be ventilated which should
lie suppressed?

$3.50 feet above sea level, to a basket
OF such scanty Alpine soil as nourishes
the hardy clusters.

CONVERTING THE CHINESE.

In the murder of Elsie Siegel there is
silent, yet ali powerful, protest against
the attempts at converting the Chinese.
How many young American women,
engaged in missionary work in New
York and other cities, have been lured
to destruction by these Celesitals.
Il is OF record that, except in very
isolated instances, say one in million,
the American women who have been
entlced to marry the Chinese have been
Inundated and degraded to the lowest
depths.
The Chinese entertains as much re-
gard for the Christians belief as the
Christians have for the Chinese Joss.
What would be the answer of the
Christian who when approached by a
Chinese missionary, would be told that
loss was the only dispenser of all that
is good. Indeed, that Joss is the SUI
prene Ruler of the universe.
Such q missionary would arouse the
risibies OF the Christian if he escaped
with resentment most serious.
From the knowledge Of women of
experience and of mature age it is stated
that the Chinese mission is no place for
young women. According to the state
menss Of these experienced missionaries
the Chinese ambition is not to become
Christialized, but to lure young women
with their wiles. It is not singular then
that Mrs. Florence Todd. the oldest
mission worker in New York, has de-
ciared that she would rather see her
daughter dead than be the wife Of a.
Chinese.
This declaration by a woman of Mrs.
Todd's stamp and whose long life has
been devoted TO good works should be
sufficient protest against the Chinese,
& is an indictment which should damn
the Chinese from all respectful consid-
Grafton.
In the face of such an Indictment
why should money and time be wasted
On the Chinese?
How many Chinese could atone for
the murder Of Elsie Siegel? How many
American girls have suffered the ordeais
OF hell when in the clutches of the
Chinese?
