THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA.. JULY 0, 1878.
His Mother's Executioner.
There Is now occupying the Russian
crlmlnel tribunals n tragedy which throws
Into the slindo the gloom lost Imaginings of
the old Greek plnywrlglit. It is the
murdorer of n motlior by her son, a child
nine years old. The story Is one of tli9
raost appalling In the wliolo nuimitls of
human crime, and withnl ts It heart-touch,
ing ns showing the misdirection of a noble
nature. For the motive of the crime was
honor, and the son slew bis mother that
her blood might frank out the stain hor In
fidelity had put upon her husbaud's name.
The cane Is a most tcmarkable oue. There
Beems to be 110 evldonce of a vicious dis
position on the part of the boy. On the
contrary, he seotns to hive hud a loving
heart, and to have been tenderly attached
to bis dend father ; but a cloud cnine ovor
his young existence, when his mother, for
getting her duty to the living and the dead,
contracted au illicit alliance with a govern
ment employee The woman seems to
Jiavo troubled herself little to conreal her
amours from her son, thinking that a child
of such tender years would not be likely to
pay any attention to her actions. She docB
not seem to bave ever suspected tho preco
cious sensibility of her child.
The boy, however, very Boon began to
ouspect the true relations existing botween
the stranger and bis mother. The func
tionary en to rod frequently bofore tho child's
oyes and at uuuimal hours Into tho bouse
that had belongod to the dead father. The
child felt himself cruelly injured by the
dishonor cast upon LIb father's memory,
-which bad remained enshrined in his young
heat like a snored imago. For a long time
'ho concealed his auger and his shame ; but
one day his indignation mastered him, and
lie resolved to make au effort to win his
mother from tho path of shamo.
Throwing aside all fear, ho reproved tho
widow for her infldolity to her doad hus
band, and besought her to return to her
duty by respect to the memory of the doad
and out of respect to ber son, The mother
treated these remonstrances lightly, and
burst out laughing at the child. Without
oven deiguing to hear him to tho end, sho
-advised him to occupy himself with mat
ters more appropriate to bis age. Sovoral
1 imcB he seems to have renewed his exhor
tations, always, however, meeting with the
name reception.
Feeling that it was useless to appeal to
the better nature of bis mother the child
conceived tho horrible design of washing
out iu ber blood the stain she persisted in
putting on his name, and which ho knew
was no longer a secret from the neighbors.
Having once mado up his mind his thoughts
became wholly absorbed in plans for carry
ing bis vengeance into execution. Wher
ever bo went he carried with him this idea
of avenging the injured honor of bis name.
Iu solitudo he pondered over it, until it be
came in his eyes a holy duty. Beside this
child of nine years taking upon bis con
science the responsibility of Judge and
executioner, thinking and planning before
taking action, Hamlet tormented by visions
and simulating madness is only capablo of
inspiring pity. The heart is moved at the
thought of the anguish the child must have
suffered. First be dug the grave. This
was for bis infant hands a long aud painful
labor. When he had everything prepared
be resolved to execute bis terrible purpose.
One night, while his mother slept, he
armed himself with a hatchet and silently
approached ber bed. When his eyes rested
on the author of his being his resolution
was shaken. lie gazed on the face he had
long loved and respected. The sight was too
much for his childish heart, and, bursting
into tears, he fell on bis knees before his
mother's bod. There the morning light
found him stretched in slumber with the
doadly hatchet still clasped iu his tiny
hands. When his mother rose she was
terribly frightened at the Bight. She awoke
the boy, who explained his presence by a
peasant fable, aud then took the opportuni
ty to once more beseech his mother to dis
miss ber lover and return to the path of
honor. She, however, lost her temper, and
ordering the child to hold his tongue, dis
missed him curtly.
This action of the widow decided her
-son to carry out his murderous resolution.
The following night he again eutered bis
mother's bedroom and, finding her asleep,
with one blovf of the hatchet he killed her.,
lie then took tho body, which he dragged
to the grave he had prepared, and there in-
t erred it.
The trial of this strango parricide is
progressing in the town of Valok, in the
government of Kharkow. Seldom have the
Russian people been so interested in a
criminal trial, but the sight of a child nine
years old standing in the dock as the as
sassin of his mother is well calculated to
xcite the compassionate sympathy among
a people by whom the family ties are re
garded with something of the respect of
the patriarchal times. Sir. Vladimir, pro-
lessor of orhnmal law at the University of
Xharbow, has spontaneously undertaken
the defence of the unfortunate child.
Mark Twain on Profanity.
Id a cote to the publishers of his justly
celebrated Scrap Book, the famous humor
ists observes that he invented and patented
it, " Dot to make money out of it, but to
oconomise the profanity of this country."
" For," he oontiuuos, "you know when
the average man wants to find his scrap
book he can't find his pnsto then hs
swears J or if he finds it, it Is dried so hard
that it Is only (It to eat then be swears ;
if he uses mucilage, it mingles with the
ink, and next year he cannot read blssorap.
The result Is barrels and barrels of pro
fanity." There is another circumstance in
life under which the averagu man is liable
to Indulge in unlimited profanity. It Is
when the "family physician" sends him a
bill of one or two hundred dollars for treat
ing wife, while that lady's face has booome
paler than ever, through the merciless per
secutions of caustics and moohanloal con
trivances. If he does not impulsively send
the wholo mod loal profession on a subter
ranean journoy, it is because he Is a saint
and dosorves to be translated. Tho looal
troatmout generally employed by physlolans
in this class of disease Is not only barbarous
but productive of almost irreparable barm.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as a
uterlue tonio aud restorative, has won un
qualified praise from thousands of grateful
women.
What a Splendid Complexion I
That young lady who moves through the
merry crowd has a most Rplendid complex
ion. And why? She Is in robust health.
Bee bor when disease conies aud robs ber
of her color. Now she is an invalid. Some
trifling irregularity or exposure has brought
on sickness and nature grows weak. The
use of Peruvian Syrup will restore health
and thoso ruddy cheeks. Health may be
restored aud with it beauty and grace.
This syrup is naturo's great means of
vitalization. It injures none and benefits
all who URe it. It has relioved and cured
whore all others have failed. It renews the
spirits of the despondent, sends new life
bounding through the voins, aud is, with
out doubt, the most successful preparation
ever offered to the public All druggists
sell it. 88
