Louisiana Constitutional Convention
has adopted at( ordinuncc ugainst sectarian-
appropriations.
It is announced that the Curtin
Yoettm contested election case bus
come to astopat thegovernment print
ing office for want of funds. Thin is
a great dissapolntment to the Demo
crats on the committee, as they have
been noticeably eager to dispose of this
case at this session.

Mrs. Julia McCarty, one hundred
and four years old, died at the Fall
River (Mass.) City Hospital last
Thursday afternoon. On the 22d of
May she jumped from a second story
window to the ground, a distance of
twenty feet, without dislocating or
breaking a bone. Her oldest son died
fen years ago, seventy-six years old,
and another son, sixty-two years old,
lives at Fall River.
Gen. B. F. Butler passed through
Portland, Me., on Tuesday, accom
panied by bis son, on a fishing excur
sion. In conversation with a friend
in the smoking-car he is reported to
have said: "Congress is to blame for
the present condition of affairs. Con
gress seems to be trying to get up a
row on the southern question when
there is no need of having one. I
don't object to a row, but I want it to
be for some cause."
The fuilureof a jury to convict the
Yoakum brothers of murder, at Ba
kersfieid, Cai., displeased the populace.
A mob broke into the jail at night,
and one of the prisoners was quickly
hanged to the bars of his cell, a noose
being thrown over his head, and the
rope pulled through the grating.
Then the lynchers went to the other's
cell door, and found that he was fet
tered to the floor. As they were un
able to enter, they tried to lassoo him,
as they had done with his brother, and
then choke him to death by pulling at
the rope; but he dodged the noose suc
cessfully. So they killed him with
their revolvers, firing so recklessly
that two of their own number were
accidentally wounded.
Calvin Hall, a very eccentric
character, was buried atSomers, Conn.,
last Friday. Twenty years ago he
made his will giving certain amounts
to his nearest relatives. He then went
around and bought from each person
the share in the will at twenty per
centum discount. Some persons of
whom he bought were both poor and
aged, and were made comfortably and
happy In their last days. He leaves
a fund of $5,000 for the town of Soin
ers. the income of which is to go to the
worthy poor who have not yet become
paupers provided the town will assume
the care of a like fund of $5,000 and
give the income to the Spiritualists.
If the town refuses to accept the trust
the whole goes to the Spiritualists, for
whom he has built a church. In mid
dle life, he was a Universalist.
On May 24, Queen Victory com
pleted her 60th year, an ago which has
been exceeded by eleven only of the
sovereigns of England, dating from
the Norman Conquest, namely: Henry
I. , who lived to the age of C7 years;
Henry 111., who lived G5 years; Ed
Ward I., who lived to be 67 years old;
Edward III., 65 years; Queen Eliza
beth, who reached 69 years; James II.,
68 years; George I., 67 years; George
II. , 77 years; George III., 82 years;
George IV., 68 years; and William IV.,
who lived 72 year. She has reigned
forty-two years on the 20th of June
next, a period which has not been ex
hy more than four English sovereigns,
namely: Henry III., who reigned
fifty-six years; Edward III., who
reigned fifty years; Queen Elizabeth,
wlio reigned forty-five years; and
George III., sixty years.
George- Ralford, of the Carson
City (Nev.) Mmt, has probably the
most complete collection of flags in
America'. He began taking an inter
est in flags about eight years ago, and
he has in his house every flag of note
that floats on land or sea throughout
the world. He has the recognized
flags of all nations, together with the
special emblems which float on state
occasions, the flags of nations which
have passed away, and those which
have been flung to the breeze at vari
ous times by insurrectionists. The
flags are all of tfie best possible work
manship, cither of silk or bunting,
and the collection cost the owner more
than $5,000. He is constantly adding
to it, and a New York firm has a
standing order to furnish him with all
rare flags that can be secured. He has
written for the war standard of the
Zulus, mid expects to receive it in
about three month.
A Xcgro ltiol.
SIX KILLED AND SEVERAL WOUNDED.
Savannah, Jtiue 0. A terrible Hot
look place thlsafternoou at Mcintosh,
Liberty county, a station .on tho At
lantic and Gulf railroad, between a
party of negro excursionists from
Bryan county and negroes belonging
In Mcintosh. The trouble be 'trail In n
fight between two negroes, when John
Rundnlo, captain of a negro militia
company from Bryan county, which
company formed part of the excursion
party, were ordered to charge. The
company obeyed the order, bayonet
ing everybody within roach. The
captain himself killing one man by
running his sword through him.
There was intense excitement at tills
outrage and the Mcintosh negroes
rallied and drove the military com
pany into the cars, opened fire on
them and killed four and wounded a
large number of others, and only
stopped shooting when the train was
drawn out of range. They tried to
prevent the train from leaving by
tearing up the track, but failed. All
the parties engaged were negroes.
The Warner Silver Bill.
NOT L1KKLY To UK HEl'OKTED TO THE
SENATE THIS SESSION.
Washington, June 4. Tho belief
strengthens every day that tho Senate
Committee on Finance will not report
the Warner Silver Bill at this session.
Indeed, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
who is one of the strongest advocates
of the bill and a member of the l
nance Committee, said to day that he
had little hope of the bill being re
ported at this session. He. was asked
if it was true that the bill was imper
fect, even in the opinion of its friends,
and would be considerably amended
before it is reported. He replied with
some warmth that the bill was not im
perfect in any particular; that it was
complete and perfect in all it proposed
to do. He stated, further, that while
the friends of the measure are very
anxious to have action upon it, and
would be very glad to have the bill
passed this session, still they were not
disposed to rush things, or to urge the
immediate consideration of the bill
it would probably give rise to a discus
sion that might last for an indefinite
period, and keep Congress in session
throughout the hottest weather. Be
sides, he said, there is a custom in the
Senate that when one or two members
of a committee asks to be allowed a
reasonable length of time in which to
examine a measure, tho request is gen
erally granted. In this instance sev
eral of the members of the Finance
Committee arc averse to the proposit ion
to nurry so important a measure
through without the fullest examina
tion of it, and have pleaded for more
time. Mr. Jones thinks the request
reasonable, and while he does not
speak officially, he advances his indi
vidual opinion that the Silver Bill
will not be reported at this session.
As the Finance Committee meets
again on Friday, it is probable that
the fate of the bill, for this session at
east, will be settled at that time.
lhe danger ot allowing persons
who have been acquitted of crimes on
the ground of insanity to go ut large
has had a striking illustration in In
diana. Some eight years ago a man
named Benjowsky shot and killed
another man, but was acquitted on
the ground that he was insane. No
attempt. was made, however, to confine
him. Last Monday he called on the
Rev. G. L. Curtis in Shelbyville and,
suddenly drawing a pistol, attempted
to shoot him without any provocation.
The clergyman wrested the weapon
from him, and now he will go to an
insane asylum.
About the 10th of December last a
young man, son of a professor in the
gymnasium at Darmstadt, in Germany,
walked with bis betrothed, a young
and pretty girl, to a pond some two
miles oft' in the adjoining woods ;
there they tied themselves together
and jumped in, intending to end their
troubles in suicide; however, the icy
cold water brought the gentleman to
his senses, and he contrived to free
himself and scramble out, leaving the
poor girl, In spite of her cries, to
drown, which she did. He was re
cently tried, and sentenced to three
years and nine mouths' imprisonment
for the offence.
Texas has enacted a local option
bell-punch law. Each county in the
State may decide as heretofore whether
alcoholic beverages shall or shall not
be sold within its borders, and, should
the verdict be in favor of the sale,
then the county authorities may decide
upon the number of places to be
licensed and provided with bell
punches. The Galveston News esti
mates that 200 counties will adopt the
bell-punch system, and that the num
ber of punches required will be about
4,000. It is a singular fact that, not
withstanding the prevalence of vio
lence in Texas, tho sale of liquor is
strictly prohibited in many counties of
that State.
The slave trado on the oast coast
of Africa is no longer flourishing.
News readied Zanzibar the other day
that three separate gangs of slaves
were on their way to the coast, but bo-
fore the intelligence came the Sultan
had caught oue of them, and Dr. Kirk
had dropped upon another. The
Kilwa road, formerly the most fre
quented for slave dealing, is almost en
tirely closed. The trade now is barely
enough to keep the coast plantations
going. The export trade has been at
an end for several years, and it is years
since a man slave has been taken by
tho cruisers on the station. Dhows
are still tancn and condemned, but it
is for the illegal transport of old
slaves, not new.

SELECT LIST
OF
LOCAL NEWSPAPERS !
Many persons suppose this list to be
composed of CHEAP, low-priced
newspapers. The fact is quite oilier
wise. The Catalogue states exactly
what the papers are. When the name
of a paper is printed in FULL FACE
TYPE it is in every instance the BEST
paper in the place. When printed in
CAPITALS it is the ONLY paper in
the place. When printed in Roman
letters it is neither the best nor the
only paper, but is usually a very good
one, notwithstanding. The list gives
the population of every town and the
circulation ot every paper. IT is
NOT A CO-OPERATIVE LIST. It
IS NOT A CHEAP LIST. At the foot of
the Catalogue for eacli State the im
portant towns which are not covered
y the list are enumerated. It is an
Honest List. The rates charged for
advertising are barely one-fifth the
publishers' schedule. The price for
one inch four weeks in the entire list
is $035. yriie regular rates of the n-
pers tor the same space and time are

papers, ot which 103 are issued Daily
