Statement by Mmrderera.
Lebanon, Fa., Sept. 3. Brandt and
Hummel, two of the men convicted of
ike murder of Raber, to-day made state-
ents in reference to the murder.
Brandt denies ever having had anything
to do with the murder, never solicited
Drew or Stechler, never held a policy on
Ruber's life, but considers it an ordinary
business transaction. He says he bought
it as others did in that neighborhood, ex
pecting Baber to die soon, he being an
old man, and that he never was in conpir
acy to murder him. These denials are
creating considerable discussion, as they
destinctly contradict the confessions of
Drew and Stechler, who expect to hang
for their crimes.

out to be a mistake, as a man at Fort

An Old Q.ueatton Re-Hved Austria's
Italian Province
Bome, Sept. 4. The Italian irrendenta
question is exciting and has renewed at
tention in consequence of a recent
pamphlet issued by Col. Haymerle,
brother of Count Andrassy'a probable
successor as the Austro-Hunganan . pre
mier, stating that it is fermented by un
scrupulous men who are actuated by
lust of conquest, and that hatred of Aus
tria is encouraged m uaiy Because is
thought that a province could be more
easily niched from Austria than any
other power. The Liberia, conservative
.wan. and therefore having more moder
ate views on foreign politics than news
papers of the left, replying says : Aus
tria cannot expect that Italy should de
clare the Italian provinces still under
Austrian sway, belonging to Austria by
ftjl rights, and shall continue so inde
-t-
i
finitely. On he other hand, Italy can't
claim that Austria shall, merely to please
her, restore her valnable provinces. As
Italy cannot think of making war in her
present condition and Austria cannot
attack Italy merely for having certain
aspirations, both parties should ston
making insincere and sterotyped declar
ations. . . '
Riot In Chill.
Panama, Aug. 28. The Star awl Her-
aid says that the excitement in Chili on
receipt of the news of the capture of Bi-
luav wan intense, xne opposition made
it the occaison for a fierce onslaught up
on the government in which the popu
lace impatient under the inactivity of the
government, joined with great zeal and
most riotous demonstrations. Great
crowds gathered in the principal plaza
ana snouted, "j.own with the ministers,
"Death to the Arancanian." A strong
body of military was called out and after
a time the mob dispersed, only to reas
semble the following ni&rht on the ala-
meda increased in numbers and organ
ized. Iron seats were used for barri
cades and soldiers sent to disperse the

uruwun, were) receivea WISH volleys OI
stones and bottles and some pistol shots.
The troops (cavalry) fired three volleys
and then charged, cutting and slashing
right and left, rather with a view of clear

ple. Only three deaths are reported, but
perhaps a hundred people were more or
less seriously injured.
Spain will Supply Troops and Fund.
Banana, Sept. 4. The home govern

Havana was startled by the news that
two insurgent bands had appeared in the
districts of Holquin and Santiago de
Cuba. Excitement ran high and the pre
mium on gold immediately rose; but as
a general thing confidence in the main
tenance of peace, remains unshaken.
Gen. Blanco at once dispatched 2000 men
from this city and ordered a most ener
getic pursuit of the disturbers. The in
surgent bands are remnants of old guer
illas employed by Spain during the war.
These men were paid $1 per day while in
service, and are discontented at their
discharge.

clergyman on board.

Punished for Stealing Government
Timber.
Seattle, Aug. 31. Within the past
few days several prominent loggers,
whose operations have been recently sur
veyed by'Capt. Prosser, special agent U.
S. Interior department, plead guilty and
confessed judgment in various amounts,
ranging from $200 to $500 each for tres
passing upon government lands in the
neighborhood of Puget Sound. Many
others have proposed to pursue the same
course. Public sentiment here is grow
ing more favorable to the enforcement
of the law prohibiting trespassers on the
government domain. The general feel
ing is that the interests of the country
will be promoted by stopping all illicit
operations of this kind. The majority
of those who have been trespassing are
now disposed to Jake advantage of the
liberal terms offered by the government
mitted prior to June 1, 1879.

The Outlook How.
San Francisco, Sept. 5. 9 P. M.
Three fourths of the votes in the city and
state has been counted. Perkins is lead
ing Glenn about 17,500 and White with
the same. Completion of the count will
increase Perkins' plurality of the count
to 22,000 or 23,000 probably. In this
city he will gain on Glenn, ahd in the
country on White during the remainder
of the count. All the state ticket will
go with the head except justices, which
cannot yet be determined. It is now
probable that the republicans will elect
all the congressmen, though it is very
close in the city district. The republi
cans elect the railroad commissioner in
the northern district, and the working
men theirs in the city and in the south
ern district. The legislature is still in
doubt. Kalloch continues to increase
his lead and is elected beyond a donbt.
The workingmen's chances are best for
sheriff, auditor, collector and county at
torney, and are sure on city and district
attorney. The republicans will probably
get the balance, except perhaps two or
three supervisors and school directors.
The superior judges are divided.

Political News.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 6. About fif
teen hundred ballots remain to be count
ed in the city, and the canvass will prob
ably be completed before morning. Kal
loch now has 1432 majority over Flint
and is elected. The workingmen have
also elected the sheriff, auditor, district
attorney, city and county attorney tax,
collector, publio administrator and sur
veyor. The republicans elect the asses
sor, coroner and superintednent of
schools.' The offices of treasurer, recor-
ier, county clerk, (street superintendent)
and police judge are still in donbt with
chances in favor of the workingmen s
candidates. The superior judges will
probably be abont equally divided. The
republicans are likely to elect four out
of five justices and their ticket of super
visors is believed to be successful with
perhaps two or three exceptions; also
five of their candidates for school direc
tors. The workingmen have probably
elected three Or four, Beerstecher and
Stoneman, workingmen, and Cone, re
publican, are elected railroad commis
sioners. There seems to be no doubt
that the republicans have elected all four
congressman. The legislature is still
nndecided, but if the republicans have
not a majority they will in all probabil
ity be able to control both houses. The
result on the state ticket remains as here
tofore reported, though it is not quite
certain how the supreme court may

Health Maxims.
A good laugh is anti-dyspeptic.
A hearty meal taken while excess
ively fatigued has often destroyed
health.
A sour look.an impatient gesture, across

make the best food indigestible, and spoil
the day.
Never sit or stand with the wind blow
ing on you for a single moment, for it
speedily produces a fever, and then a bad
cold.
If you can't get good wages, work for
your board rather than do nothing, or go
in debt, or live on the earnings or charity
of another.
The thinnest veil or handkerchief
thrown over the face while riding or walk

comfortable protection.
Nature is very much like a shiftless
child, who, the more he is helped, the
more he looks for it. The more medicine
a man takes, the more he will have to
take, whether it be anodyne, tonic, or
alternative.
To spend two or three moments on ris

whole surface of the body with the hand
is a more rational treatment of the skin,
and a more health promoting operation
for most persons, than a daily cold water

Acidity always arises either from hay

which the stomach could not dissolve.
The remedy is, eat less and less each
meal until there is no acidity, then yon

stomach can manage. To eat the same
amount and as regularly take something
to correct the acidity, is certain to cause
dyspepsia, or some other more serious
form of disease. :

A Hurdered Nation.
In 1781, when the Empress Catherine
stopped at Azov on a visit to the southern
part of her domains, she was struck by
the majestic aspect of the Daghestan
mountains which interpose their snow
capped ramparts between the Russian
steppes and the garden lands of Tiflis and
Georgia ; and on that -day the conquest
was first resolved upon which has since
been accomplished at the cost of three
million human lives. As early as 1783,
General Lazareff made raid into the valley
of the Terek, but was driven back with
the loss of 5000 men, and had to recruit
his forces in the Ukraine till the spring
of the following year, when be landed at
Anapa, and attempted the same region
from the south side. He was again re
pulsed, but fortified the village oi Redout
Kaleh on the sea-coast ; and thus estab
lished a base of operations, for all future
expeditions, which year alter year were
sent forth, and as often vanquished,
though with greater and greater difficulty,
by that heroic resistance which mere
butcher's arithmetic could foresee must
cease at last. Lazareff and his successor.
General Godolitsch, gratified the Czarina
by a monthly bulletin of raids and mas
sacres ; and thereis something
which seems inexpressibly revolting ia
their cynic admission of the superior
strategy and valor of an enemy whom
they hoped to subdue by starvation and
ruse that is, treachery, and the mas
sacre of hostages and non-combatants.
The passes of Western Caucasus were
defended by the Lesghians and Ossetes,
who, in 1795, could still muster a force of
60,000 warriors in the Spartan sense of
the word ; but with the return of every
Spring a fresh swarm of Cossacks, Cal
mucks and Muscovite serfs fell upon th it
devoted band standing at bay like a wild
animal against a pack of butcher dogs.
The valleys were devastated, domestic
animals were slain the auto, or mountain
villages of Western Lesghia, were burned
and their defenseless inhabitants butch
ered ; and in innumerable encounters
the passes were strewn with the bones,
and the mountuin streams of Circassia
dyed with the blood of ber native sons,
who, though almost victorious, found no
time to repair their losses before an im
perial ukase sent a new horde of blood
hounds against them. Yet in 1824, more
then forty years after the commencement
of hostilities which had already cost the
lives of nearly half a million of bis sub
jects, the Czar could not yet call a square
yard or tne Caucasus ns own. unless he
kept within cannon range of his forts.

of the Pyrenees, till the power of the
Moors was broken in the seven days' bght

should be authentic, the achievements of
Shamyl Ben Haddin are hardly equalled ;
otherwise they stand altogether unap

the history of our own country, would the

years, but that number of weeks, if Vir

North, East and Wes ; if all the artillery,
all the horses, all the cooking stoves,
medicine chests, tents, shoes, blankets,
flous, sugar and coffee, as well as all the
cash had been monopolized by General
Grant and Lee's own commissary supplies

ancestors would have undertaken for any
lor any temporal or eternal reward whnt
the Lesthian chieftain bad done, and
done in vain. His followers diminished

succumed, worn out, in the most brutal
sense of the term, by an ungenerous
enemy, who increased the terror of his
superior force by atrocities which make
the conquest of Caucasus the blackest
page in the history of the world.
But to the Circassian themselves their
untimely grave has, perhaps, been a
refuge from worse evils, since the doom
of Poland would have been the penalty
of submission ; and in thus far, at least,
they have still been the arbiters of their
own destiny. Five successive generations
have. been called upon to decide between
death and a Muscovite citisenship, and
they have deliberately chosen death as
the less horrible alternative. By a hun
dred years' war, and the sacrifice of a
million human lives the Russians have
thus become the undisputed muster of a
graveyard, but they will hardly find it a
renumerative acquisition. The tendency
of the cosmetic regulations is adverse to
cruelty, and we may trust that the same
by law ot nature which prevents the
hunter from digesting the flesh of a tor
tured animal will not permit the butchers
of the Circassian patriots to utilise their
victory. For alimentary purposes vivi

NO. 22.
A Kew Custom.
. " I care not who writes the history of
a nation, if I can read its advertise
ments," remarked -Sir Isaac Newton.
There is no donbt that he was right.
Historians cannot be trusted to write
the simple truth, for even if they are
wholly unprejudiced, they are neverthe
less constantly decieved by the authori
ties upon whom they rely. The student
of advertisements, on the other hand,
learns the wants and habits of a people
from the most trustworthy source. Had
the old Romans advertised in a manner
worthy of an intelligent people, we could
learn from the advertising columns of
the press of the period more of the real
daily life of Bome than any quantity
of able German historians could now
teach us.
It was through a brief advertisement
in an English newspaper that one of the
most remarkable and peculiar of the
domestic habits of English life was
made public. Perhaps it is hardly ac
curate to say that it was made publio for
the first time, for the peculiar habit, or
custom or question must have been long
familiar to Englishmen living at home.
Still, no one outside of England sus
pected its existence until the advertise
ment to which reference has been made
appeared. ,
It seems that a young English lady re
cently left her home and disappeared
totally from the knowledge of her par
ents. Being intelligent people, they,
of course, did not employ a detective
to find out the missing girl and to
compound with her abductors for half
her value, but they inserted an adver
tisement in a daily paper, describing her
appearance and offering a reasonable re
ward for her recovery. The peculiar
feature of the advertisement was the fact
that, after setting forth the height,
weight, age, dress, and color of the eyes
of the desired young lady, it mentioned
that she was "tattooed on the left leg."
From the way in which this assertion
was made, it is clear that the fact of the
tattooing was not regarded by the adver
tiser as anything unusual. In fact, from
the comments since made by the English
press, it is very evident that in England
it is regarded as the customary and
proper thing to tattoo the youthful femi
nine leg.
After recovering from the shock in
separable from suddenly learning the
existence of so extraordinary a custom in
England, the thoughtful foreigner at
once begins to question its origin and
motive. The tattooing must obviously
be done as a measure either of utility or
ornament, and it is by no means easy to
decide which motive is the true one. All
statisticians agree that there are a great
many girls in England, and certain Eng
lish weekly newspapers have during the
last few years dwelt with much empha
sis upon the tendency of the English
girl of the period to defy the conven
tional restraints of former days. May
we not, then, assume that English girls
are prone to stray away from home, and
tnat being so very numerous, they are
frequently mislead and forgotten. We
have here a sufficient explanation of the
tattooing problem. The careful British
parent desires to mark his girls for
identification. If he pastes labels
on their backs or attaches tags
to their belts, the tags and labels can
readily be torn off or lost. To
brand a girl with a hot iron, or to slit
ber ear, practices which are in vogue
among catue-anvers, would obviously
ue open w serious ODjecuons. ine care
ful parent, in these circumstances, falls
back upon tattooing, and in order not to
disfigure his girls, he has them tattooed
where the indelible mark is not, as a
ruie, constantly forced upon the publio
gaze. .
The advantages of the custom are un
deniable. Let us suppose that the girls
of the Smith family, for example, are
marked "S" in a diamond. Now, if old
Mr. Smith, when taking his nine girls to
Brighton, mislays one in the railway
station, or forgets another and leaves her
in a cab, he has merely to advertise that
on such a date a girl marked " 'S in a
diamond, was lost or mislaid in snob, a
flace, and she will soon be restored to
im. Or suppose that the same Mr.
Smith finds a girl in an omnibus whom
he fancies belongs to him, but whom
Mr. Brown rightfully insists is his pri
vate girl. There need be no dispute
about the matter. Mr. Smith has only
to say to Mr. Brown. "How are your
girls marked? ' Mr. Brown replies " 'J.
B.' with a star." An inspection of th
disputed girl shows that Mr. Brown is
right, and there is at once an end of the
dispute. Thus, we see that tattooing a
girl as a means of identification micht
be a very useful practice, and if this is
the motive of the present custom of tat
tooing English girls, it commends itself
to our approval.
But it is quite possible that Englisb
girls are tattooed as a purely ornamental
process. It should be noticed that the
original advertisement which first called
attention to the matter merely asserted
that the missing girl was tattooed on the
left leg. The pattern of the tattooing
was not described, and we have no
means of knowing its precise character.
A year or two ago an Arkansas young
iaay, desirous ot maxing a Druiiant fig
ure at a ball, called a paint brush and a
quantity of red and white paint to her
aid, and produced on those present at
the ball the impression that she was
wearing a beautiful and costly pair of
striped stockings. What the Arkansas
young lady did in a rough and tempo
rary way, her British sister can do
neatly and permanently, with the help
of a skillful artist in tattooing. Of
course the colors employed would be
only the light bine of the tattooing and
the pure white of the original ground,
but an infinite variety of tasteful pat
terns could be used. So far as the
purely male mind can judge, this is the
only way in which tattooing can be used
as an ornament in connection with the
legs, and if the motive which influences
the young ladies of England is one of
economy, they are certainly deserving of
praise.
The weight of probability is, however,
in favor of the hypothesis that British
girls are tattooed for identification, and
not for ornament. Whether the custom
will be introduced here remains to be
seen of course, by qualified and legiti
mate eyes. Probably it will gain ground
slowly among us for the reason that girls
are not so abundant here as in England,
and the danger of losing them is, there
fore, comparatively slight.

great Rachel. Hers was not a type of
beauty to catch the eve of the art
ploiieur. At the very beginning of her
career sne ventured to ask tne trans
Opinion of Provost, then one of the fiivt
in the ranks of the Tbeater-Francaise.
The great comedian surveyed the 'rail
creature from head to foot, and with a
mournfni shake of the bead said : .My
good girl, you were never meant for the
stage. Take my advice ; go and sell flow
ers on the boulevards." Any one but
Rachel in a similar position would no
doubt have done something more desper
ate than flower selling even. She, how
ever, continued ber coarse, and a few
years after became a tocitiaire of that very
Theater-Francais from whose chief actor
she had received such a terrible rebuff.
She avenged herself the first night of her
appearance on that historic Stage. Bou
quets and Wreaths, apnlause and felicita
tions were the order of the night At the
end of the play the great actress selected
a dozen of the finest bouquets, and, put
ting them in her robe, held basket wise,
advanced modestly towards Provost" You
advised me to take to flower selling, will
yen buy a bouquet Monsieur? "You
naughty girl," replied the veteran actor ;
"forget the false prophecy and forgive the
false prophet" rant von. Jfaaimort nun.
