Thu recent killing of W alter Davla,
of Harroiaburg, by Phil. Thompson,
a member of Congress from Ken-
tucky, has created wide spread and
deep excitement tbrougbtout tbe
country, not only on account of the
high rt»"Hlng of tbe parties concern-
ed hot the deplorable scandal that it
has given rise to. Thompson sur-
rendered himself immediately to tbe
authorities and now a Walts bis trial.
The grand Jury was reconvened and
they, to tbe great surprise of Thomp-
son friends, presented an indictment
against him (Thompson) for murder;
his friends thought it would be .for
manslaughter. Public opinion is di-
vided in regard to the matter.
Thompson shot Davis in cold-blood
fyii assigned his reason for it, that
Davis had debauched his wife.
Thompson has many and strong
Mends. Tbe prevailing belief is tbat
on a trial he will be acquitted.
A rehearing has been refused in
the ones of Sam Lewis vs. The State,
appealed from this county at tbe last
term of tbs District Court. Lewis
was convicted for tbe murder of
Finkelstein in Holman’s Valley in
1879, he made his escape at tbe time
and was arrested two years after-
wards in Laredo, was tried at the
May term of oourt 1882, and convict
ed of murder In tbe drat degree with
the death penalty assessed. This
verdict was set aside on account ef
some irregularity on the part of tbe
Jury. He was again put on trial last
Novemhw, which resulted in a ver-
dict of guilty of mprder In tbe first
degree with confinement in the pent
tentlary during tbe term ef his natu-
ral life. Tbe case was appealed and
at the term of oeurt held at Galves-
ton the Judgment of the lower court
was affirmed, A motion for rehear
iag wee filed and it being too late to
be decided at Galveston was trass
ferred to Austin where a decision was
rendered refusing to grant tbe re
bearing.
tem would be without affection. Hut
there is In the human organization
something else that demands culture
and developmeat. and it is as essen-
tial as mental development and im-
provement. Tbe heart as well as the
mind is sn important and influential
factor In buman affairs, and it should
be properly educated. We fear that
its claims have been loo often neg-
lected and over-loeked. It was ouce
said by a celebrated character, that
if he could make the ballads of na-
tions he cared not who made tbe laws.
The same might be truly said, tbat
be who educates the heart cares little
about who educates the mind. In
fact, the proper education of the
heart is indeed more conducive to
the formation of good character and
the bringing forth of those exalted
virtues, which live after we are in tbe
grave. We do not wish to be under-
stood as underrating the importance
of any one branch of education, but
we would prefer to see a man with a
good heart and a poorly improved
mind, than one with a well improved
mind but a depraved and corrupt
heart. If we giye the citizen a good
heart endowed with the proper in-
stincts, we need not have fears as to
his future for he has a more unerring
guide than the best regulated and
trained mind could possibly he. It
is a great conservator, which, like the
needle may occilate at times of high
excitement and vary in its bearings,
but if left alone it soon settles into
place and shows tbe human creature
its proper way, as the compass does
the tempest tossed mariner.
The duty and province of moral
and heart education has been as
oribed to the exclusive care of the
parent, we can not see why tbe im-
provement of the one should be com-
mitted to one party ; and tbat of tbe
other to another. Why can’t they
be reared together ? It looks like
such a plan is feasible. In our
schools it seems as though the ordi-
nary Instructor regards the mind of
the pupil as the only thing that he
must attend to, and when it is taught
to read, write, spell and cipher, then
his duty is done, but tho graces, the
proprieties, the ethecs of lifo it is
left to acquire as best it may.
tbe board of di-
Y. Central and
Michigan railioads,
.electing newt o(TI-
underbill declined
to be re-elected to the presidency of
those companies. Mi. Vanderbilt
Man fitted tbs -ottos mi president lor
those roads for a number of years,
and during big management they en-
joyed a rare success. Cornelius and
W. K., sons of W. II. Vanderbilt
have exhibited much financial ability
and though young, will sooit succeed
their father in railway circles. The
former is the chairman of the board
of directors for the N. Y. Central
and Michigan companies nnd I he
latter is president ol Hie nickel
plate road. This truly wonderful
family of financiers will ,liy judicious
management, reach a fosis that will
give them the same power nnd influ-
ence in this country that the Roth-
childs have long possessed and wield-
ed in the capitols of Europe.
The elder Vanderbilt desires to
retire from active business and trans-
fer the burden to his sons. He re-
tains his vast interests in the various
roads, but wishes to be relieved of
tbe responsibilities and anxieties in-
cident to the office of president and
enjoy the luxury and repose of re-
tirement.
A Valuable Additsox.—Because

/.’I
only wtjr Egyptian
We think it would b« a good idea
te adept for s while at least, this
beautiful but singular custem into /]
eur ewa domestic economy. Wef f«
have oa hand a large number of mar-
riageable bachelors who seem to be
oenalgned by a strange fatality to
tha Umbo ef single wretchedness.
Thla, wa an glad to say, arises from
no Indifference on the part of the
baebelara,astbey have struggled man-
fully against tho decrees of fate, and
have striven hard to avert the ca-
lamity. If the Egyptian custom
though was in vague there would be
M more trouble in the matter. As
their partner for life would never see
them till it was toe late to object,
they ooold be palmed off the name aa
though It had been agreed te by tbe
parties. Unless there la a change
ia tho modus operand! it would not
ha aa exaggeration of the truth to
aay that the prospects matrimonially,
of a largo and influential class in va-
rious communities will be indeed
gloomy and discouraging.
Every town and village is iudged by
the condition ef its churches and
schools. It does not make a favorable
impression on a visitor,when he visits
a town to see the chief school in the
place barricaded with a pile of beer
kegs aa though it were an abandoned
and bankrupt grog shop. If the
neighbors desired ever so much te
patronize the school, the fact that tbe
school bouse was used alternately
for a school house and grog shop
would deter them. In the eternal
fitness of thing the idea of keeping a
bar room and a school in the same
house doesn't seem to harmonize,
and all such arrangements are bound
to terminate in a miserable failure.
Verbum sat sapientibus.
In tbe prosecution of the Phoenix
Park murderers, all who have been
tried have been convicted save Kelly
and Fitzharris. Kelly has been twice
tried and both times the jury failed
te agree. Fitzharris, tbe cab driver
who drove the murderers to the park
aud carried them away, was acquit-
ted. Two of the prisoners on being
arraigned plead guilty. They were
informed of the consequences of
pleading guilty and that in so doing
they need not expect any charity
from the government. Notwith-
standing this warning they insisted
on their plea of guilty, and iu mak-
ing a statement they corroborated
strongly the case made out by the
crown in the cases tbereUifnro tried.
It has been generally thought that
these prisoners have not had a
strictly impartial trial, hut if the
statements made by those who plead
guilty arc to be received as true, it
would seem that no innocent persons
have been convicted. The govern-
ment seems bent on convicting the
prisoners and they have some evi-
dence of their guilty such as it is.
Kelly, the party who had the mis-
trial will not be discharged, hut, from
reports, will be prosecuted on by the
representatives of the government
till he is acqultcd or convicted ; they
will hardly enter a nollo pros.

Beware of a weak woman, says
Freunds’ Daily. Beware how you
befriend her. Beware bow you talk
to her. Beware of intrusting her
with the most trivial secret. Such a
woman is a walking social explosive
when abroad. She can acaroely open
her mouth without damaging some-
body. She does so unwittingly and
without intent, and lor this is all the
more dangerous. Hbe will “give
you away” without herself knowing
it. She is n boomerang. Loose her
and she knocks over her best friends.
Beware how your sympathy is at-
tracted by hor helplessness. It ia
the helpless, pretty, leaning, clinging
woman who gets most men into
trouble. She ia unsafe, because she
lacks entirely the highest sente of
honor and personal responsibility.
This is not her fault. These quali-
ties are lacking entirely in her com-
position. Be fried her by taking on
yourself any responsibility, aud the
next hour some insinuating tongue
can prove to her tbat your motive is
bad. She has not sense enough to
realise who her friends are. Stand
her alone and she will go down,
down, further—much further than
hundreds of her aex who, though os-
tracised, have sufficient character to
maintain a relative standing iu their
own world. Beware of such a boom-
erang. She hits hardest and goes

needs no comment to show that tlie
financial policy of the administration
has been a success. Undcrthe Hub-

million more than the annual reve-

up the annual revenue, went in debt
annually for $250,000 to pay her

SALICYLICA is known as a common-

at the cause of Rheumatism, Gout and
Neuralgia, while so many so-called spe-
cifics and supposed panaceas only troat

It has been conceded by eminent scien-

these disoases which are the result of the
poisoning of tho blood with Uric Acid.

SALICYLICA works with marvelous ef-
