John Goodrich, living in small hamlet
called Francisville, in Boone County, Ken
lucky, was horribly assassinated while
sitting by his tireside. The Cincinnati
Enquirer report says that Goodrich had


only just entered his home. He had been


hard at work all day with team, and was
exceptionally tired. Without removing


either hat or overcoat he had flung himself


in chair to the left of large open fire.


place, in which was blazing a couple ef


logs, His step-daughter sat directly in


front of the fire, conversing with her


mother, sitting Immediately on her right.


The room was light, and the curtains were


up. Goodrich sat with his chin buried in


his hand, his elbow resting on his knee. He


sat as silent as sphinx, and was probably
absorbed in thought. Suddenly, with no
word of warning, and while all without was


as still as tomb, a crash as heavy as thun-
der broke in upon them. The window

died away John Goodrich, without uttering
! groan, fell headlong from his chair a
corpse, and his brains oozed out on the

A BITTER war, in which the popular
mind on the Pacific coast takes the
deepest interest, is being waged between
the wholesale sugar dealers of that sec
ton and Claus Spreckels, who is the
only manufacturer and reiner Of sugar
west of the Rocky Mountains, and is
there known as the "Sugar Ring"
Spreckels became angry because some of
the dealers bought in the Eastern States
part of the sugar they used, and re-
fused to sell them what part they re-
quired from him at the same prices and
on the same terms as he did to Others.
The dealers thereupon formed a combi-
nation with the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, and determined to get all
their sugar from Eastern refners and to
run in competition with the "Sugar
Ring" to the top of their ability. They
can never get sugar into the California
market at as low figure as Spreckels
can, because the raw material is i'm
ported free of duty from the Sandwich
Islands, and no freight across the conti-
nent need to be paid on it. 1t is said,
however, that the sugar made here,
if it does cost little more, is SO much
better as to be worth the difference. By
many Californians the opposition to
Spreckels is denounced, because it is a
threat to the budding sugar industries of
thatState, of which Spreckels's refneries
are the only representatives, and these
will refuse to buy Eastern sugar on that

MRS. GENERAL SHERMAN has written
another letter against dancing. She
says that she has noted " the wall of the
wounded and the guilty" dancers since
her first denunciation of the amusement.
." 1t is not to be expected" she contin-
ues, that young girls, who are uncon-
scious of evil in the beginning, should
reflect long enough to summon the moral
courage to resist the allurements of the
dance, unless with encouragement and
support of their parents. To the honor
of pure maidenhood be it said, however
that there are young girls who decline
from instructive delicacy, even when
their parents would have them join the
throng who dance down the broad roat
of worldly pleasure"

A NORTH CAROLINA paper says there
is in Watauga County, in that State, a
Aourishing oak tree of vigorous growth,
the leaves of which, when they first
burst forth in the spring, are of bright,
golden color, and retain this color during
their whole growth and maturity. In
the autumn, when the coming frosts
dye the other forest leaves in the wavy,
brilliant hues which give such wonderful
beauty to the mountain sides, the leaves
on this remarkable tree begin at length
to turn green, adopting as their own the
fresh tint that is just departing from
the nthers.

A sleeping-car incident more SEN
sational than of which Theodore Tilton
was the hero, occurred near New Orleans
few days ago. Aman named Lee be-
came frantically jealous because his wife
innocently asked the conductor of the
car for glass of water, struck her in the
face, threatened to shoot her and then
started after the unlucky conductor, who
had gone into a forward car, with the
avowed intention of killing him at sight
AS soon as he got outside the door he
turned and fired three shots through the
window down the aisle, one bullet pass
ing through a woman's dress, but harm
ing no one. Before he could overtake
the sleeping car conductor he was inter-
cepted by the train conductor, who, wite
the assistance of a passenger, over
powered the infuriated blood-hunter and
turned him over to the police on reaching
the city

A NEW use has been found for the
telephone. Since it was introduced into
several mines for the purpose of COM
munication between the men at work
below the surface and the officers of the
companies above ground, it has occurred
to somebody connected with one of the
mines that it could be used to advantage
in indicating the ventilation of the
mines themselves. The circulation of
air in the mines is shown by the
thermometer, which is situated below
The miners have fallen into the way of
being careless as to the ventilation. But
now it has been found possible, by at
taching the telephone to the thermometer
below, to indicate the flow of air i'll the
mine in the office of the company above.
1t is proposed shortly to try experiments
to see whether the telephone can be
made available in drivers operations. 1t
is believed that the instrument may be
attached to the armor of drivers, and be
made perfect means of communication
between them and their assistants.

ACCIDENT.-Last evening about S
O'Clock as the Clayton House coach, be-
longing to Joseph Seal, was being driven
up Jefferson street. and when between
Fourth and Fifth streets one side of the
coach together with one of the horses
suddenly sunk down in an excavation
that had been made for the purpose OF
laying gas pipes into two new houses that
have erected in that vacinity. The ex-
cavation had been filled up with dirt, but
owingto the rain it had become soft, and
when the horse stepped upon it he imme-
diately went down, and was almost
covered with mud, only its head and back
could be seen. After several efforts of a
number of persons the horse was rescued
from its perilous position. After he had
been extricated the poor brute was SC
weak that it fell over on the pavement
where 1t laid for several minutes. After
getting him on his feet he was taken to the
stable, and another horse procured. Attht
time of the accident there was lady and
gentleman in the coach but they escaped
unhurt. This morning workmen are en-


gagged in filling up the hole.

CINCINNATI, March ia shocking
affair occurred in the outskirts of this
city this afternoon. The little six-year
old daughter of Daniel Boote, living OF
Walnut Hill, was feeding monstrous
English bulldog, as she was often in the
habit of doing, when the vicious animal
attacked her and began literally to tear
her to pieces. The screams of her moth
er brought the neig ghbors to the spot, but
the beast could not be torn from his prey
till bullet had been sent through his
head. The wounded brute then sprang
at the officer who shot him, and nearly
threw him to the ground; he also bit Mrs
Botte severely during the struggle. The
child was alive when rescued, but she is
so mangled and torn, that her recovery is
impossible. The dog seems to have been
intent upon devouring her alive.

Secretary Schurtz has created board
consisting of DR.. Richard Joseph, dis
bursting clerk of the Interior Depart
ment, J. B. Farrell, chief of division
in second comptroller's office of the
Treasury Department, and Amos
Hadley of the Interior Department, to
examine into methods now in force in
the finance and accounting divisions of
Indian Bureau, especially as to the an
alysis of money and property; also into
the accounts of Indian agents, and
whether the accounts of agents are re-
duced in accordance with law and reg
ulations, and whether any expenditures
are made without proper authority,
and also if the present system is such
as to show at all times the condition of
money and property affairs at each
agency.


The last quarterly reports Of the
agents are to be carfully scrutinized,
for the purpose above mentioned, and
particular examination will be made as
to the number and compensation of the
employees at each agency, and whether
they are given or allowed to buy sub
sistence or clothing in violation Of the
law. The board are also instructed to
examine as to the character and total
money value of the special purchases
for any agency during the present fiscal
year, and whether such purchases have
been properly accounted for. They
are not to be limited by these specific
instructions but are to make such fur
ther investigation as may be deemed
proper for the best interests of the

A certain something resembling an
atmosphere attaches itself to the pres
ence, character and influence Of every
man. 1t is comparatively slight with
some and strong with others, accord
ing to temperament, knowledge and
will-power; just as the physical air
may either be imperceptible in effect,
or may freeze, or may burn may gent
ly breathe as a zephyr, or may rush
and roar as a gale, Those who are
with us feel an influence in our very
presence which impresses them favora-
bly,; and we, in turn, are drawn or
repelled by their silent qualities as
well as by their spoken words, To
sit quietly in room with certain men
is to receive an impression on the soul,
as when light is reflected from an OBJ
ject before the camera upon the sensi-
tive Photographic plate to make neg
ative; or as when a perfume from a
bouquetspreads through an apartment.
One man, in look, tone, gesture, and
manner, suggests intellect and learn
ing; another sagacity and wisdom
another courage and resolution an
other patience and endurance anoth-
er gentleness and love; another indig-
nation and severity. The instant we
approach certain persons we feel ele-
waited, encouraged, inspired, purified ;
but when we draw near other charac-
ters, there is an influence of evil quail
tiles, and we at once begin to be de-
pressed in thought and feeling, to be
lowered in the whole tone of our minds,
and to be measurably incapcitated for
high resolve and noble endeavor.
What a relief it is, in the latter case,
simply to change company. 1t is like
ascending from a low malarial region

Swamp to the breezy SUBMITS of the
