Louis Guktig has been sentenoed to be hanged on the 19th of September, the first anniversary of the day he filled the body of poor Mary McGlew with Collets.
THB ancient penalty of death for bnrglary is still in force in North Carolina and no less than four persons—two negroes and two whites have recently been excnted in that State for this crime.
IT is probsoie that between 5,000 and 6,000 students will have graduated from the various colleges in this oountry ^during the present season. Are there that many vacant places waiting for tbemTjy
Doounr, oi the Modern Argo, hasnt been in the editorial harness quite year, but his experience has been sufficient to cause him to pen this para graph: "Say a mean thing of a man In a newspaper, and pretty soon he will hop Around to the office to serenade the ed 3tor with a horse-whip, but write a good thing of him and he will pass you on the street unnoticed. Such is the sad life of an editor."
THE city of Troy, N.Y. well illustrates the value of small industries. There are forty firms engaged there in the manufacture of collars, cuffs and shirts, which give employment to nearly 12,000 people and pay them more than fl,800,000 a year in wages. The reoeipts from the business amount to over 15,000,000. Troy it is said makes three fourths of all the cufis and collars used in the world.
THE ladies' comet band of Indianapolis gave a concert on Thursday even ing at the Grand Opera House which drew a large audience. Although the band has only been organized a few months their performance is spoken cf as having been highly creditable to them. The band has already demonstrated its ability to sneoeed, and suv, (jests the oiganization of similar bands elsewhere.
SPECIAL reports to the Indisnapolis Journal from about sixty points in this State indicate that the crop of winter wheat is the beet since the famous crop of 1864. The acreage is larger than last year, the stand better and the berry plumper. The Gat and grass crops are Abort, in some sections a complete failure. Corn is Bomewhat backward but in good condition. Apples promise well bnt of pears and peaches there will be scarcely any.
IT is remarked that the oontest between Nast's pencil and Curtis' pen always ends in a victory for the former. Curtis, as editor, starts out on the conservative line, while Nast, as artist, illustrates the text with the most radio*1 pictures his fertile brain can produce. Thus they run on for awhile but by and by the pictures are too strong for Curtis and draw him over to their •lews, and when the campaign is fairly under headway, editor and artist are working harmoniously together.
Hhb President has refused to pardon George Reynolds, the first convict of polygamy under the law of 1862, and he is now in the Nebraska penitentiary, sentenced for a term of two years and to pay a fine of 9500. This first suooesc ful attempt to enforce a law which has been on the statute book for seventeen years, oomes rather late, to be sure, but it shows that the oountry is alive at last to the necessity of suppressing this noisome institution and hereafter we may expect the prosecution of offenders to go on more vigorously than it has previously done.
IT may, not generally be known that the health average of American citie? is better than that of the cities of Great Britain, yet such Is the fact. In twentythree cities in the latter country, 8,000, 000 of population, the average mortality last" year was 24.4 per 1,000, while the same number of American cities, with an aggregate population of nearly 6000,030 the mortality was 20.97 per£1000. This includes Charleston, where the yellow fever prevailed and where the average ran up to 35.58. If there Is any thing we beat Mr. John Bull in we should like to bear the subject wanted.
It is always Interesting to know the prices paid contributors to literary periodicals. It Is sta'ei tbst the American reviews and magazinei are now paying more for their work than the English, the Piinceton Review standing at the bead of the Hat. It pays never less than $10 a page, snd to some cf its contributors much more. The North American Review pays from |7 to flO a page and the International from 95 to 97.50. *Tbe leading English magazines pay from 94 to 97.50 a page and tbe quarterlies from 95 to fS. These prices are of coarse much higher than those of thirty or forty years ago, Then the North American paid only a dollar a pige to «ucb writers sa Edward Everett, and iN. P. Willis received but |500 a year for Ms "Penciling* by the Way," which brought him 95,000 when published in book form. Thus it is shown that the jHfmfiwIon of authorship is steadily ad* vnnrin*. People who read the magalaftnss have, ss a general thing, Little no-
Uon of the great oost of them. The Prinoeton Review, for instance, is fur* nished subscribers at the small pries of 92.00 a year yet Its 1000 pages of matter cost not less than 19,000, without counting the paper and printing. For |S each reader gets what oost upwards of 920,000. In addition to the oost of oonfcributtoas, the illustrated mags sines exjwnd ?«rge sums for their pictorial work.
Weston, the pedestrian, oame out winner in the great contest in London last Saturday, walking 550 miles in a hundred hours. He had five minutes to spare, oompleting his last mile at five minutes before 11 o'olook at night. From 2 to 8 o'clock in tbq afternoon be accomplished the great fiat of making five miles an boor. His score is the highest on reoord. Rowell, the Englishman who won the belt at New York, has announced his inteotiQp, Qt gh|llenging Weston atonee.
Thb flower question oauaed a very lively row at the reoent commencement of the High School at Fort Wayne, Iml. The School Board had forbidden any presentation floral tributes, but early in the proceedings the order was violsted, bouquet being handed to a graduate, who refused to surrender it. This was
THE Modern Argo thinks the East is not very consistent when it wends Joseph Cooks out to the West to tell our people that they are rude and uncultur ed and yet has to come to the West for the talent it wants, as New York did re cently for Robert Collyer. The Argo makes a good point, and it may be added that Mr. Collyer's esse is paralleled by many ethers. Mr. Beeoher was a western man. From Ohio went Mr. Howells to the editorship of the Atlantio Monthly, and Mr. Whitelaw Reid, to the head of the great paper which Horace Greeley founded. Not more than two years sgo Dr. With row was called from India napolis to a leading church in Boston These are only a few examples out many that might be cited to Illustrate the Act stated.
WHITELAW REID'S address before the Ohio editorial association has called forth considerable comment from the press, tb9 prevailing sentimect be ing that it was somewhat too roseate in lte predictions of tbe future of journalism. It is hardly within the range of tbe possible that the news of the day will ever be presented to tbe readers of the morning papers in as perfect fe form as the pages of history present tbe story of the past. This will be impossible from the haste with which newspaper work must necessarily be done. But tbe profession of journalism will be ben efitted by this high leadership, even though the aim be higher than can ever be reached. Mr..Reid's address has shown him to be an able and aspiring journalist, as well as a clear headed and practical one, and his ideas are well worth a careful reading, not only by tbe makers of newspapers but by all read era of them.
THE grand scale on which farming operations are now conducted could scarcely have been conceived of a few years sgo. Of late, individual oapital of enormous proportions has been successfully invested in this line of industry. It is stated that in St. Paul alone there are seventy-four men who own an aggregate of 263,460 acres of land in Minnesota, tbe largest farm containing 38,000. Such a body of land would be ten miles long and five wide. Similar immense farms are to be found in Wyoming, Col orado, Dakotah and Texas. These lsnded proprietors give employment to many hundreds of men, use sgricultural machinery of the most improved character, and harvest crops of grain that are princely in their abundanoe. But it is hardly probable that these great farms will remain intact very long. When tbe present owners pass away the land will be parcelled out among their descendants, there being in this oountry no law of primogeniture, as in England, to hold the estate together. As time rolls on, it will be still further subdivided, and in dae time will pass into tbe hands of strangers.
A remarkable case of hydrophobia is reported from Hartford, Connecticut, More than two years ago there was a mad dog in that city which ran through the streets for several miles and bit a number of persons before it coald be killed. All tbe victims had their wounds promptly cauterized and apparently entirely recovered, with the exception of a oolored man, who died from the effects of the bite. A few days ago dbo of the bitten persons, John Ay res, became strangely afflicted. He could not swallow water nor even endure the sight of it. A drop on his hand almost sent him into spasms. There was no evidence of any wound where he bad been bitten, the wound not breaking out afresh, as is frequently the case when an attack of tbe disease oomes on. His physicians were satisfied thst tbe man would die and expected the usual convulsions, but none came. There were no signs of mental suffering but the patient steadily grew weaker, and in a week from the beginning of the attack, died quietly and easily, his consciousness gradually fading away. The case pufxlee tbe doctors who are not acquainted with any one similar in its termination.

TEKR3EB TTAT7TE flATURDAY EVENING MAIL.
Bbforb another issue of The Mail the third anniversary in the second century of Amerioan Independence will have been duly and variously oelebrsted. In hundreds of towns and villages threngh* out the oountry the old story of the struggle for freedom will be told as it has been told many times before. There are many people who grow annoyed at the annual pop, tins and bang which distinguish the Fourth of July but let suoh try to treat the matter philosophically, If not patriotically. Old Mr. Adams left the Injunction to make the day one of festivity to beat drums, fire oannon wave flags, and to make as much noise generally as lay in our power. Though there may be disagreeable features connected with this praotloe, it is for better to observe it than to forget the day alto gether, and pass unnoticed an anni versary fraught with so much im portanoe to the world.
Young America, while making bis noise, may not know very well what all the fuss is about, and he may care less bnt that is your fault and not his and a good way to get reconciled to the din is to get in a word or two between the pops of the fire cracker that will give the boys an Intelligent idea of the origin of the "racket," and revive your own drooping interest in "the land of
a signal for a volley of shouts, yells, aid hisses. A squsd of polioe sppeared or.! toe free and the home of the brave." It's the stage. The recipient of the bouquet relinquished it to oqe of the officers and left the stage, followed by eight member of the class, who refused to participate farther in the proceedings. The exerclS' es were finally allowed to proceed, al though great exdtement and oonfuaion existed until the conclusion.
a pretty good country to live in, notwithstanding our complaints, and the time may come when we will all wish we had spent more time In the effort to preserve It as our fathers left It to us.

THE HULL MURDER. The mystery of the murder of Mrs Hull in New York City htfs been suddenly cleared up and In a way least ex peoted for while the coroner was ex aming tbe witnesses in New York and getting nothing satisfactory from them a newspaper reporter in Boston had run upon the veritable murderer and procured his arrest. He is a celored man, Chastine Cox by name, and had been employed for a year and a half in the neighborhood of the Hull residence, and part of the time by Mrs. Hull herself.
He has oonfessed the deed and states that his purpose was merely robbery, and that he did not Intend killing Mre. Hull. He entered the house through the lower window and went up stairs to Mrs. Hull's room. She roused up on his entering and be put his hand on her mouth, and, getting hold of the oologne bottle, dashed cologne into the face, of the struggling woman. After tying her to the bedhe ,gom mItted. the robbery and left,
Cox was dlsoovered by pawning a set of jewelry whioh answered the description of that taken from the murdered woman. Her watch was also found upon him. Mr. Balcb, a reporter on the Boston Herald, bad obtained a description of tbe man who had pawned tbe jewelry, and accidentally passed Cox, who seemed to fill the description. He watched him until he entered a colored church and then procured his arrest by the police.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The arrest of the negro Cox, has not on ly brought to justice the real murderer of Mrs. Hull in New York, but it has releived an innocent person of a horrible suspicion, and a suspicion from which avaricious detectivee might have woven web that would have convicted the husband of the murder. Persons have been hupg on less substsntial evidence than that which seemed to point to Dr. Hull as the mofrdirer of his wife. The New York San urged in its incisive way that the murderer should confess, that his crime was certain to be found out, and that it would be better for him to acknowledge all than to be detected. It spoke of tbe remarkable ooinoldences between the knots that were tied and those a surgeon is accustomed to. It referred to the other remarkable fact that Dr. Hull was in tbe habit of tying tbe bed clothes in the way those were tied that were found on Mrs. Hull
Tbe police from tbe first believed that the guilty person wss and lived in the same bouse. Tbe first reason that directed police suspicion to him was the way in which the front doors were found open tbe morning of the murder. Both the outside and inside vestibule doors are double, one side of each being secured by tbe usual form of bolts running into tbe floor and ceiling, and the other ride only being ordinarily opened. On this morning the bolted sides of both were found open. No borglar or outside murderer ever was kaown daring flight to open both sides Of two doors, and the police at once concluded that the work was that of an "Insider," an^ was done to avert suspicion. Then it was the first oaee known to the polioe In this oountry in which the fire test over the eyes of a murdered person was ever tried. This fact, combined with the other that that test, before the publication of the Hull marder, was probably unknown to any person outside of tbe medical profession, and not even to all physicians, convinced tbe police that not only was the murderer an "Insider," but also that he was either practicing physician or a medical scholar. What tended to strengthen this opinion was the additional fact that all the bandages found on the body of Mrs. Hull were tied, not in ordinary knots, but fastened in surgical loops. When tbe police convinced themselves that the murderer was both an insider and a medical scholar, the question as to who he was oame up for solution. Experienced detectives reasoned that the murderer of Mrs. Hull was a person who was familiar with her, as it has seldom, if ever, happened that a murderer has stopped and handled the body
4ss.vi,5"?
Wi
of his viotim with suob oold and calculating deliberation as that with.wbloh Mrs. Hull's body was bandied after death, unless ho was on terms of great Intimacy with his viotim during life.
Then the papers discussed the rela tions of Dr. Hull and his wife in suoh a suggestive way as to indicate that tbe Doctor had tbe strongest of motives to kill his wife. Few people who have read the theory advanced in relation to tbe husband oould have helped feeling that a plausible motive was furnished for the murder, and thst a reasonable view of tbe manner in which it was performed was furnished.
While the detectives are #orkln£ ifa various theories, with this tbe upper most, a newspaper man, with a keen scent for news, follows a negro into church. It was grim, unconscious satire that the murderer while there lis.tened to a sermon on tbe horrors of bell by a colored divine from Texas. He is arrested, and once osught seem* to have tsoome perfectly demoraliz i, and makes a full oonfeesion. In the dis patches he is represented as saying:
He went home on the eveuing of tbe nightiu which Mm. Hull was murdered at 6 o'clock, and rema ned iu the bouse where lie wss employed until 10 o'clock, when he went oat again. He had a key for the door of tbe Hail hoase, but he was unable to make it fit, and consequently lalsed a window in the lower story, and fastened it up wi as to provide for himself an easy means of making his escape. He had a candle with him. On ascending the stait3 he heard some one snore, and thought it was a man. He blew the candle out. walked into the room and stepped up to theside of the bei.
Airs. Hull,awaking, abked: "Who is it?" "The Doctor," replied the negro. She put her hand up and touched his face, as he was standing elose to the bed. The robber threw her hand back so that she could not touch him, at the same time laying his hand over her mouth. He then got hold of the cologne bottle and dashed cologne Into the face of tbe struggilBg womau, after wtlch he got upon the Dod and made gag of the bed clothing. She was bythstlme iu an exhausted condition, and be tied her iuthomanuer in wbicu Hhe was fouud in the morning after the murder. Afterward. Cox relates, be relighted the candle, and holding it close to her face, the cologne ignited, whicu accounts for tne singing of the eyebrows and other burns on the person of the murder woman. The robbery was then committed, and the robber made his escape, soon leaving New Yoric lor Biston. He repeats his statement that lie had no other motive than robbery in the assault that he made.
Herels a full explanation, including the singeing of tbe eyebrows, which has been dwelt upon as almost conclusive evldenoe of a death test made by some one familiar with such tests, and which was one of the strongest incidents irecting suspicion towsrds the husband. No case of recent date has illustrated in a more forcible way the dangers of cir cnmstantlal evidence. A plausible motive was apparent for tbe commission of the crime by the hnsband, and then all the little olrcnmstanoes oonnected with the tragedy- fitted to tbe theory in manner thst if Dr. Hull bad not been oonvicted of tbo murder, tbe finger of suspicion wonld ever have been pointed at him.
SELF-MADE MEN.
We notice an item going around the pres9 calling for. a convention of "Self Made Men." This, we presume, means a convention of men who, once poor, have grown rich. There is a deal of vanity—not to call it arrogance—in tbe term self made men. That vanity, however, is pardonable, when tbe words "self made men" siguify something beyond tbe mere acquisition of money But applied solely to tbe rolling up the dollars, we knew no ambition more lowly than that which boasts of such acquirement as evidence of uncommon merit. There may be merit in money making£there is no merit, necessarily, in it. The boast of tbe self made man should be that he had done something to benefit his time and his generation. If it be that his energies have been engrossed in mere acquisition of riches, his boast should be that be made good use of those richer. If his acquisitions are tbe product of brain labor, he may well congratulate himself for bis contributions to science or to art* But the boast of mere richea ia the,lowestT ambition of our nature.
And we protest against the abuse of the term "self-made men" as appropriated by those who have money, and nothing else, to show for their life-labor. The man who through his own researches ha? caused two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before, though he may be a pauper in purse, sboald not be excluded from the rsnks of selfmade men. He who invented an apple pairer, he who taught the house-wife to cover her kettle if she would economize time and fuel In making water to boll, may be poor In this world's goods and yet as exalted above the mere rich man as Heaven above earth. This dollar-and-cent measure of merit Is the devil's tape line, and tbe same measure Satan attempted to apply to tbe Son of Man on the exceedingly high mountain, when the devil assayed to make tbe first great purchase of human conscience and service.
If this proposed oohventioh Is assembled, there will no doubt be plenty of eating and drinking and mutual admiration of each other. Tbe reader glancing through the newspaper accounts of the affair, expecting to see something of the history or these self made men, in tbe progress of the world generally, or In material advance around them locally, will probably only discover that that which gtvee them claim to tbe title of self made men is that a certain number represent so many millions of money. Wherein is the world any better off for these men having gathered in tbe hands of a few those many millions of dollars? That wealth wonld stili be in existence if these men had never lived. They have produced nothing} they have only raked in what others, lees provident, leas sordid, have sown. Probably not one of these rich men can point to anything save their boarded dimes. Sappose the history—the inner history—of
these men shoald he written bow they got their money start in life by what means. they rolled np their wealth. Does any one believe tbe majority of these men woald wish to see thst history in print? Money nuking is bat another name for "lack." We speak of it now as a general rale. The rich men of the land are not In the front rank in intellect and liberality. Nine cases in ten tbe first start on the road to wealth is by what billiard players call "a scratch." There is no credit in hoarding money it belittles the soul It dwarfa tbe whole man it sells him to the devil. And tbe great majority ef rioh men beoome hard by boarding by pinching ooppers by stinting their souls and their bodies, and the bodies of those committed to their care.
The subject was spread, somewhat, on our hands. We only intended to enter our protest against the exclnsive appropriation, on the part of mere rich men, to tbe term "self-made men," and hope that when the gathering is had there may be included some among the number whose title to "self-msde" is gilded by merit, not by gold leaf. But we fear that this class, with accustomed modesty, will not pnt in an appearance.
