There has been a conviction in a court in the state ot J^uisiana for a nightriding, bull-dozing murder. Perhaps the dawn of civilization is breaking on the state where such murders have been accepted as necessary for the preservation of the honor of the honorable white citizens who belong to the best families.

The report of First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson indicates that the time has come for another change in the letter carrier service. Since it was first inaugurated it has steadily increased in benefit to tne public. It should not be conducted as a dividend paying branch of I'ncle Sam's EGrvice, but as it shows that it is a money making branch of the service further improvement should be made. The government postal service in all its branches has been conducted on this principle and thereby there has been a gradual decrease in the postage rate. In no part of the general governmet is there such opportunity to make felt the blessings of a public service as in the postal service.

The minister from I'rax.il at Washington has a level head. He waited a day or two to learn if it could possibly be true that there had been a revolution in his country before talking about it Now, that the republic is a certainty, he is not mealy-mouthed in denunciation of the eil'orts of European monarchies to make it appear that the republic is not an assured success. Any of us are courageous in the expression of our views when we are assured they will meet with approval. Only the crank and the truly great go to the front in a crisis, which directs the thoughts of men to the fact that the people are the rulers and that everywhere the tendency is to conform to the idea that govern ments are by the people, of the people and for the people.

Out or the seventy-live senators who counted Mr. Tilden out of the presidency In 1870. sixty-four are dead, and only eleven survive. .Most or the senators lost their standing In society and died Ignominious deaths scorned by their countrymen The beneficiary or the fraud, however, still survives.—| Lafayette Journal.

What sort of talk ie this? There were only seventy-six senators who voted on the 1

ST0 presidential election returns and nearly half of them were Democrats who did not vote to "count out" .Mr. Til den. It is hardly worth while to investi gate the accuracy of the statement as to the number of deaths. Suppose sixty four of the senators have died, and that death was their punishment, are we to consider Tilden's death in the same light? But, after all, what's the use of this style of political comment? It is an insult to the intelligence of the average reader, and an exposure cf the ignorance of the newspaper which resorts to it.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, which is too good for Kentucky, is engaged in a commendable crusade against the idea that one man has a right to take the life of another on the provocation of an in suit or the memory of a wrong. The judge of the court at Lexington recent ly instructed the grand jury on the same subject. He laid particular stress on the habit of carrying concealed weapons The judge, like the preacher at the Swope funeral services, does not get at tho true inwardness of the Kentucky evil. The preacher excused Swope for the murder of tloodloe by saying Swopo carried the pistol for nn other man. The carrying of weapon i3 but incidental to the crime, lioth men had murder iu their hearts. An elaborate eulogy of Uoodloe has been furnished to the country byfriend at Washington wherein tioodloe is extolled as a hero because he re Trained from murdering Swope for year or more! Mr. Watterson, iu th Courier Journal, gets nearer to the truth than any of them when he s:iys that it is a "dreadful reproash to our manhood, to our civilization, to our chwstianity." is a reproach because the two victims at Lexington were suppseed to represent the best civilization in the state, and yet we learn from the ingenuous defense of their acts by their friends that both were murderers at heart.

JIP WAS THE CULPRIT.

Of the many curious incidents which are ralated showing the sagacity of the dog, the following is told by Bn officer who served in the late war, and the Rochester Post-Express gives it as he related it to a group of children who enjoyed it greatly: "In lS0.j I was in command of a fort in the Gulf of Mexico, situated upon a small island two or three miles from the main land. The officers in charge were convinced that some of the men were in the habit of leaving the island at night in boats, visiting the main land and returning again before morning. That this could be done when the guards were posted around the island was incomprehensible except upon one of two theories—either that the guard and some of the men were in conspiracy, or that the sentinels habitually slept on duty. "After much discussion at the otlicers mess it was finally decided that the latter of the two theories was the correct one, and I determined if possible to and out who the men were who slept at their posts while on duty, and to punish the offenders. It was the custom of the 'officer of the day' to go around and visit each sentry, and to do this at least once during the night, usually between 1 and •1 o'clock, but I now required this officer to perform that duty oftener and at such times in the night as he should desire. Each morning this officer reported to me that he had several times during the night visited the sentry, and as often found each man at his post awake and alert for duty.

He was unable to tind any man asleep or even drowsy. Owing to the extreme heat of the day, yve had sentry boxes erected at convenient places on each beat, where the men were allowed to sit during the day, from which they could observe all that was going on but they were not allowed to sit in the sen try boxes during the night, except in cases of very heavy rain. "I finally determined that I would visit the various sentry boxes and stations myself at unexpected hours of the night, and see if I could catch a man asleep. The war was closed, and of course there was no enemy near, and it was onlv necessary thBt the sentry should be alert for the purpose of guarding our own men from straying away in boats and to keep up good military dis cipline. My best plans to catch a man asleep at night proved unavailing, and how they were thwarted and all of my movements at night observed was as follows: "Some time before this a steamer passing toward Orleans stopped at the fortOne of the officers of the steamer told me a little mother dog had been killed on the boat by accident that day, and had left two motherless puppies of the black-and tan breed, and if I desired one or both of them I could have them. "I accepted one, and just as the steamer was pushing off the officer handed to me a beautiful little puppy barely a week old. It was amusing to see the way in which we endeavored to feed this little fellow. Some of the officers said we must bring him up on a bottle. We had no milk at the fort except condensed milk in tin cans. This we diluted with warm water and soon taught the little fellow to drink it. He was the only dog at the fort and he grew and became the pet of all the otlicers and enlisted 'men

During leisure hours the men taught him all manner of tricks and he wa° very apt to learn. During the summer nights he slept upon a mat just outside of the officers' rooms or quarters, all of which opened out upon a long veranda on ston9 building inside the main fort "The enlisted men slept outside of the fort in barracks and there were seven men posted at a distance of about 300 yards apart upon the shore side of the island. 1 was quite certain that some person would observe the officer coming out of his room at night and would in form the sentry of Itis approach, so I ar ranged that seven of our lieutenants should relieve the seven men on guard upon the shore side, one at a time, dur iog the fore part of the night, so that about I--' o'clock I was going to make the rounds and then these otlicers would re port to me anything that they had seen or heard. "I arose about 1-, taking down my svford from the nail where it usually hung at the head of my bunk, and, with as little nois9 as possible except the rattling of my sword chain, I stepped out upon the veranda. All was still and quiet outside. The fact that my little dog was not in his accustomed place upon bis mat did not awaken any

GUS

picion in my mind, and, after closing the screen door to my room. I set out to make the rounds. When I approached the first of the sentry boxes my lieuten ant there upon guard whispered in my ear: 'I have discovered the secret, and will .tell you about it as soon as we return to our quarters.' I was curious to know what it was, and relieved the lieutenant by placing a private soldier in his place. The lieutenant returned to the officers' quarters and I went on to the next sentry box. To my astonish ment ihis officer also whispered to me 'I have found out why it is we cannot catch men asleep on their posts, and will tell you about it when wo return to quarters!' He also was relieved by private soldier and returned to the otlicers' quarters. Each of the other otlicers whispered substantially the same in my ear, and each laughed as he told me. "I began to think that some practical joke was being played upon the com mBnding officer. After relieving all the lieutenants I returned to the officers' quarters and found all of the lieutenants convulsed with laughter, and they told me that a few moments before my ap proach, Jip, our littledog, came running along the line stopping at the feet of the sentry and seized the button ot the sen try's trousers leg with his teeth and shook it violently as though it were rBt, and without barking or making any noise he dashed forward into the dark ness toward the next sentry box. Th little scoundrel had done this to everyman on the guard, otlicers and privates alike. "We had a spy in our camp and this little spy had been taught tbis trick and he seemed to relish it. He would lie on his mat at night and as soon as he heard the rattling of the sword chains in any of the rooms of the officers be would start up to aunounce their approach in the way I have indicated. It is needless to say that 'Jip' was not court-martialed tut, poor chap, he was condemned to be chained up at night on the veranda. A soon, however, as he heard the rattle cf sn officer putting on his sword in hi room he would make a desperate effort to get away from his chain and run out to inform the men of the approach of the officer. The men soon learned that thei spy had been discovered, but there was no more sleeping upon posts and no boats left the island at night after that.'

THE GROWING TERRORS OF WAR. S

Constantly IncreHultiff Precision and Velocity of Modern Firearms. The annual meeting of the shareholders of Sir W. G. Armstrong, Mitchell Co. was held in the Elswick mechanics' institute in London recently. Lord Armstrong, chairman of the company presided, eaye the London Standard, and in the course of his address said: "When I last addressed you I referred to the success which had attended the introduction of

our

quick-tiring guns of

large caliber, and I am happy to say that continued trials with those guns and progressive improvements in their manufacture have firmly established their advantages. Those advantages will be still further enhanced by the employment of the new smokeless powder, which, it may be said, is now certain to be brought into use. With ordinary powder it would be impossible to fire these large guns at their maximum rate cf about ten rounds a minute, on account of the hanging smoke from the discharge, which renders aiming impossible with the so-called smokeless powder (in which nitrate of ammonia is used as a base) the.6ame hindrance is not experienced, the smoke produced by tbe discharge being very much less in volume and dissipating very readily. Excellent results have been obtained with it, velocities of about 2,300 feet a second in the 12-centimeter gun (4:\| -inch) being reached, and in the 15 centimeter gun ((i inch) the extraordinary velocity of ?,500 feet a second has been realized, in both instances with very permiseibe pressures. But even with these powders, though much reduced in volume, the smoke is still present as a partial hindrance, and extended experiments are now being carried out to endeavor, if possible, to obtain a powder with a total absence of smoke. "We have lately been experimenting with a new powder recommended by Sir Frederick Abel's committee (known from its string-like form as 'cordite') with much success. With a 0 inch gun velocities of '2,300 feet have, been obtained with cordite at pressures somewhat over twelve tons. As yet it would be premature to say up to what size of gun this powder might be used, and its adaptability for tbe service has, of course, still to be proved by climatic and other teste but at present the results are very promising. It is impervious to damp, and, above all, it is absolutely smokeless, and should the results mentioned above be maintained its employment will in all probability work a revolution in modern armaments and render the use of quick tiring guns not only an advantage but a necessity."

Another novelty among machines for warfare is tbe invention of a German of the name of Schumann. It is a movable tower designed for use in the defense of towns. At the German army maneuvers last Saturday the emperor took up the (Jpfensive position, which was strengthened by eight Schumann iron-clad towers provided with machine guns. These fortifications are on wheels and resemble bee hives. Inside sit two men, one on a saddle like that of a bicycle, the other handing him ammunition of which GOO shot can be stored within The turrets contain a quick-loading gun, tiriug thirty small shrapnell shell or solid shot, the latter for use against cavalry. The turrets revolve and are bullet and shell proof. The chief objection to them seems the difficulty of moving them.

Horses were not available Saturday, and about twenty men, with their auxiliary force of villagers, were required to drag each of the eight turrets employed into position at the extremities of the infantry intrenchments. Smokeless powder was employed in tbe guns, but it gave a bright flash like artillery, so that the position of the turrets, which were painted the color of the soil, could be distinguished. But Major von Scheibert wBrm'.y advocates them, arguing that, even if nrtillery after much trouble had destr®ved one, it would be a slight loss compared with the execution the turrets can inflict.

Major von Scheibert is an opponent of all permanent fortifications. He says the French repent their expenditure on them, and instanced tbe fatal attraction of Metz and Strasburg during the last war for French armies. The turrets were invented by the late Captain Schu mann, and built by Gruson of Madgeburg. The old otlicers call them "tine," or "hand fire engine," which they resemble.

A I'OEl'.S VENFR.4BLE AGE.

A ltcceiit Visit to Tennyson's Home and Talk With the Bard. "I saw and talked with Tennyson recently," writes an Eoglieh friend of a Philadelphia Times gossiper. "It was at the annual tlower show at Haslemere Surrey, and the poet had been prevailed upon to leave his seclusion for the botanical display. It was his firsi public appearance since bis illness, and I had not seen him for six months. That the poetlaureate is rapidly ageing, I saw at a glance, and this became more impressed upon me during our brief conversation. "He was no longer the Tennyson of a year ago talk meant distress to him, and references to persons very close to him in friendship, which formerly enlisted his interest, seemed to meet with but little response. In his walk he shuttled heavily, and the cane that he once carried as a companion to idly swing in moments of thought bad become almost a staff. He told me his health was good but his general appearance scarcely verified his statement. The strong Broma of a pipe, carelessly jammed into one of his coat pockets, was about the only thing that suggested to me the Tennyson of old—there was certainly nothing in his conversation, manner or appearance."

A prominent citizen recently, after lunching at a restaurant on State street reached up to the hooks above the table, and taking down an overcoat placed it over his arm and paying for the lunch walked down State street to Broadway, Feeling rather cool, he decided to put on his overcoat, and wondered whyhe had not done so before leaving the restaurant. He put one arm in the sleeve and then saw that he had his overcoat on, and that he had absentmindedly walked off with another. He hastened back to the restaurant and was greatly relieved on finding that the owner was still there. He replaced the coat and the owner was none the wiser. The absent-minded man in telling the story said: "I don't know what I should hBve done if the owner had seen me going off with his coat."—[Albany Times.

IS A LUCKY PRINTER. I

The Winner of the Cnplt»l Prize in the Purls Exposition Lottery. A happy man is tbe humble printer FranBsens,by birth a Belgian and domiciled and naturalized in Paris, who has won the big prize of 500.000 francs in the exhibition lottery bonds. Franssens is married man with six children, and was employed in the Lahure printing works as a foreman. As a matter of form Franssens had invested a franc in lottery, and brought a ticket numbered 51,639, which he threw carelessly into a drawer in his dwelling. On "All Saints Day" the printer was at home idle when he took up the list of lottery numbers which bad lately been published, and running his eyes over the serried battalions of black figure?, he found that by a freak of fortune he was promoted suddenly to tllluence. His was impulse was to execute pas seul, but be restrained his choregraphic impulses, and calling his wife and children round him. announced to them his good fortune in which his partner refused to believe. M. Franssens next hailed a cab and drove to the Credit Foncier, which was closed, so he bad to return to his domicile in order to dream of his sudden accession to wealth, and the new prospects which it unfolded to his view. The secret was not long kept by Mma. Franssens, after she had made sure that her husband bad the winning ticket. She told all her friends and neighbors the tidings of great joy, and numerous calls were made upon her during the day. Tbe next morning M. Franssens received tbe official notice of his lucky haul, which he can not, however, touch until December 1. His prize will not fall to him in its entirety, for he will hare to pay a duty of 3 per cent, which will make a hole in his gros lot to the tune of 15,000 francs, or §3,000.

ERRORS OF HEREDITY.

Myron Heed Says We Have lteen Making Too Much of It. We have been making too much of heredity, says Myron lv9ed. We have said, "The father is a thief, therefore the son will be a thief." He has felt our saying—we have thought him down. This heredity business is the mistake of the age. Whatever else we are, we are God's children, and He has no pet child, Bnd if he has it is the one who has gone away. Not the one who has stayed at home and lied about his brother. BecauEe your father and mother both died of consumption, have you got to die with it? Please get that out of your mind. This heredity business has been worked for more than its worth. You are a separate and individual child to God—"The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge." God says by bis sensible prophet Ezekie', "Ye shall use that proverb no more." "Every man shall give an account of himself to God"—that is from St. Paul Men who have been making rules for men will be terribly disappointed when they stand before God.

THE GREAT COAL DlC0V£RY.

The Dream of Anthracite Miners Heal zed. The reported discovery of a solid deposit of anthracite coal, 200 feet thick, if it is confirmed, realizes the dream of many old anthracite miners, says the Pittsburg Times. They have believed steadfastly that underlying the region, at some depth buried, there was a great basin of pure anthracite, representing the deepest bottom of the peat bog in which the anthracite was formed. They argued that it would not only be of a thickness beside which a sixteen-foot vein, nowconsidered an exceptional find, would be but as a streak, but that, being free from the faults and irregularities due to crust movements during its formation, it must be of even and flawless quality. The reported discovery seems to fill out these predictions so exactly that it is almost past belief.

Mrs. Harrison's Kecipo for Clear Soup. Four pounds of lean beef: four quarts of water one teaspoonful of celery seed two small onions two small carrots one bunch of parsley six blades of mace sixteen whole cloves the whites of four eggs, Halt and pepper to taste. Cut the beef in pieces of the size of a walnut, taking care not to leave a particle of fat on them. Pour on it the water and let it boil up three times, skimming well each time, for if any of the grease is allowed to go back into the soup, it will be impossible to get it clear. Scrape the carrots, stick four cloves firmly into each onion, Bud put them in the soup. Then add the celery seed, parsley, mace, pepper and salt. L9t this boil until the vegetables are tender, then strain through a bag, return to the soup pot, and stir in well-beaten whites of the eggs. Boil until the engs gBther to one side, skim off, and color a delicate amber by burning a dessert spoonful of brown sugar and stirring it into the soup until sufficiently colored. Wash the bag in warm water, pour the soup through again and serve.
