Of the latter I have had my * share ; of tlio former I am most thank- f , ful to say I know nothing. In re- : spect of memory , I can claim exemp- * . " ; tion from the weakness that is said \ ' „ ' to afflict people of threescore and ten , fori have found it as true to ine V when called upon to record events f . . that happened half a century since . - * , as it is to those of more recenttimes.

I suppose w. no one living at the time of the Mar If murders can have forgotten the fran- tic terror that possessed the commun- C " ity till tho murder was discovered. ' / . Numbers now living may have seen f ? the body of tho suicide tho man hung himself in prison as it was carried , f in a cart , about the locality of his • crimes , exposed to the scrutiny of & thousands of his fellow-creatures. I 'W * j can vividly recall a certain evening % at my home in Harrowgate being r | t about 12years old when my father , jf& c who had been reading the times , ex- f ; • claimed.

" To all these dreadful details did wo , my brother and I , seriously incline , ' with tho result on my part of a con siderable amount of terror on my first visit i o London. ' I was on tny way to school at St. Margnrot's , nnd I knew I must be somo days in London. I felt sure 3 should betray myself as a stranger : I should lose my way , I should start about mo , like that unhappy coun tryman ; but I mado up my mind to reply to no stranger , "charmed he never so wisely. " Still , there was tho "pitch plaster ; " no police then , and if there wore , how could one call for help with that awful thing over one's mouth ? All this was very silly ; my excuse may bo that I was but a boy , somewhat imaginative , always picturing possible and impossible casualities. For the short timo I was in London I never left Brook street , so there was no fear of losing myself ; my aunt kindly took me once to the play , and as wo went and re turned in a hackney coach I felt tol erably safe ; but I confess much as I hated school , I was glad to go away oven to that nauseus place , so that I might leave murderous London be hind me. Let those of my friends who read this confession with a contemptuous smile on their somewhat aged faces remember the days of tho garroters , and then let them lay their hands on the place where their hearts ought to bo and then declare if they can do so without commitfingperjury that they never walked home from some jovial gathering with tho dread of being choked and robbed before they got there ! I appeal to thee , my old friend Rivers ! didst not thou purposely put on a ragged coat and seedy trousers , together with a wideawake , worn and weather-stained ( used in thy famous picture of "Tho Starving Peasant" ) , so that the gar-rotor might pass thee by as unprofitable plunder ? What but cowardly fear , similar to that which I acknowledge , possessed thee when thou misconducted thyself in that dastardly fashion ? And you , 0 my friends tu ) Maurier and Prin- sep , do you not remember dining at Pembridge Villas in garroting times , when your fellow-guest , Hepworth Dixon , gave us a thrilling account of an attack upon him by two garroters , how he struggled with them when they tried to put "the hug" upon him ; how with a na- tural dread of those prowl- ing miscreants , he had armed himself with a bowie-knife , the first flash of which in their faces frightI ened tho garotters away ; and even before the applause of Dixon's valor had ceased among us , did not you , Du Maurier , declare that you were one of the garotters , and that it was Dixon who ran away ? And did not Prinsep , A. B. A. , after declaring he was the second garotter , produce a penknife from his waistcoat pocket and exclaim : "And here is the bowie knife which you dropped when you ran ? " Gentle reader , this is but the prei ludo to my swelling tale , for the truth of which I pledge my word. Among my acquaintances are sev- eral deaf-and-dumb artists , one or two extremely clever ones. The study of art recommends itself peculiarly to those who are so terribly afflicted , bet ing , perhaps , the only one they could pursue , and then only under condii tions of great difficulty. Mr. George Road , after passing some years in Borne as was the custom fifty years ago came to England and pitched his tent in Southampton street , Fitzi roy square. He was deaf , dumb , and a bachelor , possessing , I believe , suft ficient privaie means to make him independent of his profession , and to enable ' him to devote himself to what : ; are called 'the highest brandies of i the art ; " he was , in fact , an historic al ' painter of considerable merit. His t studio ' was a large room , with the I usual ' decorations and properties of v the 1 well-to-do painter. There were ; : casts ' from the antique , armor , ta2 pestry and a family of lay figures , c . consisting ' of a male , female and a : child ( ; and in a smaller room , off tho studio , the artist keeps a goodly as1 1 sortment of brushes , colors and oth1 1 er ' necessities of his profession. My I reader must bear in mind that I am : speaking I of the time when Burke and c Hare ; , whose effigies now figure in : Madame Tussaud's Chamber of Hor rors murders on tho lines of Bishop ; and Williams had horrified London : J and the country by their crimes. It 1 was , in fact , just after the execution of ' those worthies that Mr. Eoad ad- ' vertised for a man-servant. The ar- = tist had seen several specimens ofthe . Loudon ; footman , none of which sat- ' isfied him , when , to use a parliamen- tary phrase , he "appealed to the • country , " and on a dull morning in November a young man presented : himself in Southampton street and • rang the painter's bell. t I must premise that the would-be } servant was of a very timorous na ture ; this was his first experience of i London , a place in which murder was ' in the air , with the dread of Burke i or rather , being burked , as it was J called in hill possession of him. He * had asked his way , and found it with | great difficulty , to Southampton * street. I have come from Gloucester- * shire , " said he to the woman who J opened the door to him , "to take a place with this gentleman" showing t her the advertisement "if it suits - methouknows. " "All right , " said the < maid , "walk in. " t The house was dark , the staircase gloomy , and the trembling country- 1 jnan wasshowninto the dimly-lighted 1 painting room. s It awful ! the l was an place only light came from one half-clossd window , j The antique casts of faces , hands and . feet , looking like death in their ghast- ) ly whiteness , deepened his terrors. * What did it all mean ? had befallen { into the den of a murderer ? and what l are those three things covered up j with white sheets ? As he approached * his fears intensi- - the lay figures were - fled ; he touched the largest one he started back with horror ! Yes ! it is f a human body ! it was an arm he felt , J and then a leg ; he turned , and loa ! - man with some instrument ( a pal- j lette ) in his left hand , and a huge ] ( pallette ) in his right !

Ho seized the poker and began backing toward the door5 . The dumb man uttered somo inarticulate sounds , whioU only served to increaso tho man's terrors. "What docs thee say , thou villain ? Como another step and I'll knock thy brains out ! Here , hi ! " ho shouted "murder murder ! " Tho door opened and tho maid ap peared. "What's the matter ? " said the girl. "What are you shouting about ? the3f'll hear you in tho street.

" "What's that you say ? " said a man. "I am from Bow street ; what do you say ? " "I say there's murder been done here , the bodies is upstairs in a dark room , and all sorts of things go and look for yourself. " Tho Bow street runner entered tho house , and presently returned with a smile on his face. "You have made a mistake , my friend there aro no dead bodies ; the gentleman is an artist , and " "A what ? " shrieked the country man , "I tell time he tried to kill me ; become up to me with abloodyknifein his hand. Here , I've had enough of this ; it's my opinion you are all alike in this darned place ! " "Then youhad betterloaveit , "said the officer. "Where do you want to go to ?

" "Well ! there , take that hackney coach ; ho will land you at the Blue Boar safe enough. " "And if ever I come to this place again ; may I be" somethinged. The word was lost by the banging of the coach door. _ _ _ i ' ' iw t > O < ipm ' m A Wonderful Nation. Today the republic of the United States j has no rival on the face ofthe globe , in natural resources in wealth , j in ' the general intelligence of its people. | There is little use in taking a i clance over the past , for nearly svery i man of intelligence is familiar with ' the history of the couutry. Ha knows I that a dozen years less than half I a century ago the republic ofthe United I States included thirty-one states ; and five territories , if wo in clude i among the territories the Dis trict I of Columbia. The area then was i , it is now , not including the Alaska j purchase , 3,002,802 square miles. i The population was less than 25,000,000. i West Virginia was the center i of population. The popula tion I in the territory , west of the Mis sissippi river , a territory 2,135,8-10 miles i in extent , was at this time only 1,999,401. j It was supposed that most i of this extensive area was com posed ( of desert lands and alkali plains. [ The old school geographies dis- played | in conspicuous letters a"Great American Desert , " which by thehand of man has since been transformed into i as fertile and productive farms as I any in the east. This trans-Mis sissippi region today includes twelve states and nine territories , and tho United I States census of 1880 gave it a population of 11,259,360. In 1850 the t value of all property west of the t Mississippi river was , in the states , $509,701,479 j and in the territories § \ 11,224,026. In 1880 this had in- sreased to territories to § 2,991.000- 000. The ratio of increase in values throughout the entire country was lust as remarkable. In 1850 tho value of real and personal property n the United States was § 7,135,780- 328. In 1880 the value wos § 43 , - 042,000,000. The population aas increased from 23,191,876 n : 1850 to 50,152,866 in1 L880. The center of population Is in the vicinity of Indianapolis , j Indiana. The growth in the pro- • < luctiveness of the soil is just as ohenomenal. In 1849 the corn crop ; Ivas 592,071,104 bushels. In 1879 twas 1,754,521,676 bushels. The wheat crop in 1849 wasl00,485,944 s oushels and in 1879 it was 459,4S3 , - < 137 bushels. The corn acreage in 1 L849 1 was 25,000,000 acres ; in 1879 t was 62,000.000 acres. The wheat ; acreage in 1S49 was 10,000,000 ] ji 1879 it was 35,430,333. In 1853 t the mileage ofthe railroads was 12 , - 90S. In 1882 there were in opera- . tion 114,930 miles of railroads. If this percentage of growth con tinues in the next half century where shall we be as a nation ? The im migration is increasing every f year. It seems that Europe s already too full to hold with i profititsrapidlygi'owingpopulation. t Look at the immigration figures and note the remarkable increase. In a 1881 the number ofimmigrants were \ 669,431 ; in 1882 , 788,992 ; in 1883 , x 803,322 ; in 1884 , 518,592 ; in 1885 , 395,346 ; in 1886 , 334,203 ; 1887 , o09,281. Making a total immigra tion in seven years of 3,819,167.a This immigration will increase rather r than diminish. It will be many years v very many years before the ratio s of population in this republic equals n that ofthe older countries today. n In 1880 the ratio of populution j ; per square mile of territory in the e United States was 16.70. In the r same year the ratio of population in the British isles was 269. - 49 ; in China it was 260,59 ; in a Germany , 197.48 ; France , 176.89 ; E Japan , 212.89 ; British India. 223.56 ; Belgium. 461.95. If the ratio ofthe population in this coun- . to the ratio 1 ] try were equal present of population in France we should J have a population of 531,846,583. This growth , at the rate of increase t so far observed in our material pros gress would give us this population v in a decade less than a century.- , Thirty years from now at the same percentage of increase , our popu lation will be ,110,1S6,310. In flfty years it will be 1S6,214,864. There is indeed , no limit to the greatness b of the American republic Detroit Free Press. ' , . ti - r Educational Qualification to Vote. The legislature of South Carolina is discussing tlio propriety of adopting as a qualification for voting that tho elector shall bo ublo to read and write. Tho press , as woli as tho politicaus , aro discussing tho subject pro and con with considerable earnestness. 1tho pro posed amendment to their constitution was submitted to a vote of the people , and tho illiterate were allowed to vote , it is not likely thoy would disfranchise themselves , and without thoir indorse ment it would fail. In 18S0 South Carolina had 118,880 colored males ovor twonty-ono years of ago , and there wero 93,010 who could not read. Sfie had at tho samo timo 8G,900 white male adults , of whom 13,921 wero entirely illiterate. From this it appears that raoro than half of tho present voting population would bo disfranchised by tho adoption of such an amendment to her constitu tion. If the southern states would inako reading and writing a qualification of suffrage it would disfranchise 1,303,306 out of 4,145,010 who now vote , or about one-third of tho whole. Several of tho New England states have such a con * stitutional limitation to adult suffrage , but tho number who cannot read and write is so small that tho effect is im- perciptible. If universally adopted it might prove a great stimulus to thoso who could not vote to qualify them selves for discharging their duties as citizens. In consequence of tho four teenth amendment to the constitution of tho United States it will doubtless bo a long time beforo any of the southern states will favor an educational qualifi cation. If the intelligent people of South Carolina oj * any other of tho stales of the south where the colored population predominates really believ ed that it Avould promote the best intrests and prosperity of the stato to deny the right of suffrage to those who cannot read , the fourteenth amendment would prevent their indorsing tho proposition. This fourteenth article says : "When the right to vote at any election for tho choice of electors for president Jind vice-president of the United States , rep resentatives in congress , the executivo and judicial oHicers of a stato or tho members of the legislative thereof , is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state being twenty-one years of ago and citizens of the United. States , or in any way abridged , except for par ticipation in rebellion or other crime , the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of malo citi zens twenty-one years of age in such stale. " It is i > hiin that if South Carolina shall adopt the proposed amendment , instead of being entitled to seven mem bers of congress as now. she would bo cut down to three , or at most , four . members. If adopted throughout the ] southern states they would lo&o forty members of congress and a like number of ' electors for president and vice-presi dent. ' The number of white voters in the south who can not read is 391,182 , of colored 911,121. One of the reasons for the great illiteracy among tho Avhiles of the south was , that during the existence of slavery the white popi ulation was so sparse and scattered that tho maintenance of schools was impracticable , and the poor classes of whites were as bad off in this respect as J the negroes. Since tho abolition of slavery ' a rapid change has taken place. Schools i have been established , and all colors i are availing themselves of edu- calional , advantages provided by tho states. The time will come in the no distant J future when an educational qualification to vote would not offset the ' southern any more than the north- era ( states in determining the number of representatives and electors for pres1 ident J to which they are entitled. Wo have 1 no sympathy with the Blair scheme , persistently advocated in con- gress , of taking the subject of educa- tion from the control of the statesand giving it to the general government. The states arefully competent to man- age their own educational institutions , and stale pride will mako them rival each other in furnishing the best facili- ties. ties.Tho Tho fourteenth amendment , which we have quoted , which lessens the po- litical powers of a state for depriving the illiterate from voting , will delay indefinitely the educational qualifica- tion of suffrage.

One night during tho past week a policeman found an elegantly dressed lacly wander ing about the streets in a condition of maudlin intoxication.

After being there for some time frhe recovered suflicientfv to realizo where she was and bogged piteonsly to be taken home. About the samo time her husband entered the station house , having been in search of her for several hours , and at once deposited collateral for her appearance at tho police court in the morning , and took tho lady awaj' .

Washington Letter. IHnde ICIch lu Half un Hour. S. E. Eoger and his brother left their homes near Hastings , Mich. , about four 3'ears ago and Avent to Breckenridge , Colo. , Avhere they worked in a stamp mill. They got possession of two claims , the "Iron Mask" and the "Ke- wanee , " and Avorked them during sparo hours , putting considerable time and money into them. The claims had been Avorked previously for six 3'ears by an old miner , who failed to 'find paying ore. Eoger recenHy put a man in the loAver one , and AA-ent to work himself.
