he brushed her hair back and Scrutinzed
her face. The appearance of her eyes
told him that she was dead. He left the
body of his victim lying there in the road

commit the murder) and started on foot
toward Watsonville On the way he be-
gan to realize what he had done, and
thinking that he could make it appear
that the shooting of the woman was ac-
cidenta, he resolved to give himself up
to Justice. He stopped ut the house of
Joseph Fillizer, who, Tarpey supposed
was constable, he having held that
office once, and said that he had ac-
cidentally shot woman down on the
road, and wanted to be taken to Justice
of the Peace. Filler knew Tarpey well,
and laughed at the idea. Tarpey insisted
that it was SO. Fillizer then told him that
he was not Il constable, but that Schade,
who lived few yards further on, and
who was then in 81 4ht ut work in his field,
was a constable To Schade, therefore,
Tarpey went and told the same story.
Schade received his surrender, but did
not take his arms from him, though Tar

KIND WoRDs.-"A softanswer turneth
away wrath" Kind words will do more
to soften and subdue an obstinate and
rebellious spirit than the most severe and
painful corporeal punishment. If both
parents and teachers of children would
remember this, and act upon the princi-
pie in the management and control OF
those for whose disposition and character
they are in a large measure responsible,
there would be fewer juvenile misde-
meanors. and occasions for punishment
or correction. Nothing more completely
tends to break down the spirit, or lower
the self respect of children, than harsh
words or un easonable chastisement while
at the same time, such i'll treatment hal d.
ems them against every good influence,
and renders them the more obstinate and
unmanageable. Children are not insen-
sible to reason or blind to fair discrimi-
nation between what is right and what is
wrong. Their young minds are more
susceptible to kind words and mild intu-
ences than they are in maturer years.
Children should therefore be governed
rather by the power of love and kindness
than by fear of bodily pain and mental
humiliation.

FAULT FINDERs.-The world is full OF
chronic tault-fnders. Nothing can please
them. They take delight in grum bling
and growing over everything they meet.
II anything is good they complain be-
cause it is no better. Humanity has no
bright side to these grumblers. 1t looks
black, dreary and hopeless to them, from
| whatever point OF view they examine it.
They overlook the virtues of an individu-
al, and hold up single fault to Judge his
character from. They denounce party
as corrupt because Il few rascals disgrace
themselves by unworthy acts. The
church is false because few hypocrites
find shelter in it. The world is on the
high road to destruction, and everything
indicates the dtpravity OF man. We do
not envy the happiness of these growlers.
Their unhappy frame Of mind is about
the only pleasure they enjoy. 1t may
sound pai adoxical, but the social misery
they create is to them source Of enjoy
ment. A single hopeful heart is worth a
regiment of these fault finders. Human
ity has its bright side-beautiful and at
tractive to those who seek it. The world
is alive with public and private virtue,
and we should be ready at all times to
foster and encourage this element OF So
cial comfort and public happiness.

A great deal Of misstatemsnt, per

in regard to the prevalence of

lie Of Memphis are too generous to de-

order once for all to answer these reiter-
ated libels Of the health of Memphis,
We bzve been at some pains to cOllate
the statistics OF mortality for the past
three weeks, and are able to say beyond
anv hope of successful contradiction,
that on no single day have the deaths
from the so-called cholera numbered
more than eighteen, nor has the gen.
eraI daily average Overtopped twelve.
These are the facts, and unless our
country contemporaries can meet them
successfully with more reliable figures,
which we deny is possible, we trust they

we say, and give the truth the wide
circulation their journals enjoy. And,

of so greata calamity it does not become
us to speculate upon the causes Of SO
much loss Of life, and for the same rea-

the facts provoke, but we cannot
help recording our opinion that

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.--One
of the most incOnceivable things in the
nature of the brain is that, although
the organ of sensation, it should itself
be insensible. To cut the brain gives
no pain; yet in the brain resides the
power Of feeling pain in any part Of
the body. If the nerve which leads to
it from the injured part be divided, we
become instantly unconscious of suf-
fering. 1t is only by communication
with the brain that any kind of sensa-
ton is produced f; yet the organ is IT.
self insensible. But there is clrcum-
stance more wonderful still. A GER
tain portion of the brain itself may be
removed without destroying life. The
animal lives and performs all those
functions which are necessary to SIM
pie vitality, but it has no longer a
mind. 1t cannot think or feel. 1t re-
ouires that the food should be pushed
into ITS stomach; once there it is di-
gested, and the animal will even thrive
and grow fat. We infer, therefore,
that part of the brain is simply in
tellectual faculties. whether of the
lower degree, called instinct, or of that
exalted kind bestowed on man, called
reason

The voice of the Democracy of Ohio


comes to US with pleasing sound


The Legislature will have Democrat
ic majority Of nineteen on joint ballot,


with a working majority in both


branches. The election of William
Allen by small majority is conceded
at the Republican headquarters in
Columbus. It will hardly be possible


for the Republicans devoted 70 Addi-

the word along the line this morning


that there has been q glorious Demo-
cratic victory in Ohio. 1t is the tri-


uRph of honesty. 1t is tribute to
public virtue and Official purity paid
by the people and emphasized By the
odds against which we fought. Il is
conquest of foes without and foes

the only election this fall which has
commanded the attention Of the whole

ponents of the two classes named
above, a fight for the life and the per-

Immediately upon the nomination Of
cur State ticket, which was the last in
the field, and Straight ticket, the
leaders of the Republican press and
party said that if we succeeded in its
election nothing but superhsman eff
forts on the part of the Republican
party could prevent our success in the
next Presidential election. We do
not disagree with that statement of
the case; and to the end of establish
ing ITS truth by the fact, let us, on the
sunny side of victory for which many
of US dared not hope, simply pause
like Paul at the Three Taverns. to
thank God and take courage. We
have been killing larger game than
Noyes in this election. We have been
building or repairing for the future.
A party whose beginning was foolish
ness. whose end is nothingness has been
taught useful lesson. The question
of the future, economic questions, the
between monOpoies and pee
pie, are questions on which the Demo-
cratic party alone can and will pro-
mote the cause of the people. These
are questions which the last two weeks
have lifted into prominence, questions
which have entered and win remain
in many thousand homes, which will
presently absorb the notice of the
whole country. We have convinced a
of the people of Ohio that
the Democratic party Is worthy of their

BISHOP CUMMINs, of Kentucky, has
published letter vindicating the Dean
of Canterbury and himself for having
communed with the Presbyterians in
New York. He says s- ds.l


"There is nothing in the ecclesiasti-
cal order or the discipline Of the
Church of England or of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church in this country
forbidding such an act of inter-com-
munion among Christian people who
are one in faith and love, one in Christ,
their great head. As far as know,
the liberal Episcopalians of New York
rejoice in this action of the Dean of
Canterbury, and thank God for it,
When the Episcopal Church of Eng
land and the United States has been
able to clear herself, which may God
in His infinite mercy grant, of the
deadly evil of Ritualism, whose last
development is the revival of the con-
fessional, then and not till then may
she become haven of rest to MANNED
souls who would rejoice to see her the
common center and bond of organic
unity to all Protestant Christendom." "

tBEwARE OF SOAP IN SALT WATER.


Simply ior the sake of warning visitors lest they
fall victims TO joke daily and almost hourly played
here, Will reproduce an episode from the eXpe-
rlence OF friend of mine who Is at this moment in
a most melancholy mood. One OF the principal at
fractions OF this place IL its hot and cold water
batns which are located directly opposite several
OF the cosIest hotels. party whose constitution
is too weak TO stand the cold temperature OF the
ature he pleases, even TO scadIng hot. None
OF these bathrooms contain soap, and for
the simple reason that soap, when brought
into contact with sea water, sticks to the
flesh Just like grease. Hence 1t Is that who mas
had experience will generally advise one who mas
had none TO take soap with him, stating as "a rea-
that the soap furnished by the house Is to
be very poor. MY friend Sam desired to indulge In
one OF these baths and was OF course, cautioned to
take his own soap.


II say,u cried he, after he had entered his bath
room and looked around, 'lts a blessed good thing
brought my own soap, for there amt a bit in the
place !"


Presently We heard Sam plunge into his tub with a
leap, and soon after We could hear him brskly rub
bing


Thunder and fire, fellows ~ he cried. Say; look
here; there's something out OF shape with this
water, confound 1t. Pm Just the same as II had
slept IN box Of candiesl"


The ultimate consequence was that Sam had to
pay negro about dollar and hall TO bring him
a tub OF fresh water, and no doubt AT this moment
he Is impressed with the idea that he has been eyre
giously imposed upon.

THE SAILOR AND HIS WIFE.-The
British bark Monarch was lately wrecked
of Cumberland Island, near the coast OF
Georgia, and nine lives were lost. The
vessel was driven on the shoals and was
rapidly going to pieces in storm. There
were three small boats, which were low
cred, and into one Of them the captain
handed his wife, who had voyaged with
him in shine and storm for thirty years.
He then stepped into the boat himself
and before it was loosed from its fasten-
ing to the ship, 1t was capsized and en-
quilted in the overriding waves. When
the boat reappeared the captain was still
clinging to its side, but no one else was
there. He looked around over the desc
late waters, but saw not the form he
sought, and all the thirty years. compan-
ionship came up before him like a beau
tiful island in the sea. The waves lashed
around the island, and then it too disap-
peared like mist. There was nothing
but wreck and ruin and the hungry sea
around him. Those on the vessel observ-
ed the captains situation, and threw him
a rope with running moose. 1t was
moment in his grasp, but he cast itaway,
saying: "My wife is gone, and will go
with her," He loosened his hold on the
boat, and amid the raging sea he chose
watery grave with his faithful wife, who
had so long sailed with him and cheered
him in life's ocean. And Capt. Thomas
and his sailor wife were of the nine
drowned by the wreck of the Monarch
off Cumberland Island.
