of railway oomtnhsionurs , huvu liken
the testimony In tlio 0:130 : drought before
the ( omnii-sion by citizens of thu village
of Waterloo , and written arguments , pro
and eon , will bo snlnn ttoil later on , Thu
case is jtidgud by tliii commission as onu
of the most important that has co ne be
fore the board , nnd it mean * some $75,000
to the Union I'aciliu road on one hand
and an inestimable amount of ilarnngu to
the village of Waterloo through overflows
on tlio other side of the question , The
trouble , as has heretofore been men
tioned In the Bi'.n , arises from the faut
that the Union I'ucllie , on tnelr main Hue
of road at Waterloo , have built a high
grade some half milo in length across the
Elkliorn valley at that point , and thu cit-
i/.ons of Waterloo claim that bv reason of
this the village and surrounding country
are liable to great overllown In ease of
high water In the Klkhorn river and that
damage to a largo amount has already
been douu in this line on account of the
long grade and the railway bridge being
inadequate lo carry oil' Ihe Hoods
in thu spring of the year. For reason of
this the railway commission is apnaaled
to that the Union Pacific bo compelled to
abut thu bank and build In placu of it an
open trusslu brldgu that threatened dan
ger may bu averted. This change from
tliu permanent work the railroad has
planted there would necessitate a heavy
oxpunsu. and both litigants in the case
Huctu to be pressing tlieir sides ot the
case with a good deal of vigor and earn
estness. The testimony taken In the

commission mid will bo held lor fuluru

How to Klevnto tlie Stage.
Urooklvn Maga/.ine : There is a most
important lesson that the American pub-
lie must learn if it would seek to increase
thu moral tone of the stage. It cannot
bu douo by sermon , address or essay , but
by hard , practical example. When a
foreign actress arrives on our shores de
pending upon thu meretricious aid of an
indecent notoriety to sucnro her large
audiunens , lot press and public rigidly
ignore her. When wo Khali learn this
all-important lesson , and demonstrate
publicly that wo have' learned it , there
will bu an end to such spectacles as that
witnessed during the past
month. The argument that will
at once bo advanced by many in this
- connection that wi bavu no right to con
sider the private life of an.actor. Per
haps not. * But likewise has on not or no
right to Haunt his t > r her immoralities be
. fore the public as a basis for public pat
ronage. There are certain rights that
- the public enjoys , and thesu everyone , bo
he or she artist or artisan , is bound to re
spect. To decry the impurity of the men
and women of tlio drama when wo our
selves foster it by our presence nttlie the
aters where they perform is ridiculous.
a America can truthfully boast and feul
proud of Ils many actors who , by their
moral purity nnd dramatic superiority ,
have lent beauty to dramatic art , U hy ,
then , will so many sit and worship at the
fool of dramatic immorality ! Tue purity
nnd elevation of ; ho sta o is in the hands
of Iho public itself , and that class of
actors nnd performances will bo
successful to which we lend our presence
aud patrouugo.

Tlio old county of Ktlneficld , South
Cnrollnn , luxs boon llio thcntro of ninny
of violence nnd bloodshed , Within
the past ten years Iho nnmcs of 120 men
Imvo been upon the dockets of the Crimi
nal courts of Iho county for murder of an
equal number of men , White men com
mitted the great majority of tlicso mur
ders , and almost nil of the victims were
whites. The best families in the county
have warred with each otherpistols , have
bcon itrawn on tlio slightest provocations ,
and olood lias almost Invariably been
spilled on such occasions. Congressman
George D. Tillman. of the Second dis
trict , who is now stumping the stnto and
abusing iho national administration , has
killed his man. lie lied lo South
America , but afterwards returned , stood
his trial , and served three years in the
county jntl.
At the next term of court for Edgoliold ,
which convenes on Movombor H , the
Kdgeiield lynchors are lo bo tried.
Thirty-one men , the majority of whom
are representatives of thu best families in
the county , nre indicted for the miinlcr
of O. T. Culbrealh on September 21,1 51.
Half of tho-mcn charireil with the crime
nre married and have over a hundred
children between them Some of them
are white-haired and have grandchildren ,
and some are still In their teens One is
the state senator from that county ;
another is n prominent physiciana mem
ber of one of the oldest families in the
state ; another is tlio brother of Mrs.
Culbrcath. who married n sister of the
murdered man , and still another is young
Culbreatli , his son.
Culbreatli belonged to a good family ,
was well off , nnd up to the throe years
ago , when he began ill-treating his wife ,
had the respect of the community. Ho
loft his wife about two years ago , re
ceiving from her , It is said , $ r > ,00 ! ) for
doing so. Ho remained in the neighbor-
hcol and watched her vigilantly. Re
ports eont'crninir her lack of virtue were
circulated about the neighborhood , and
Culbivath was said to have been the
originator of them , Mrs. Culbroath
lived upon the plantation with her child
ren , the oldest being a boy of sixteen. As
a man was needed to maiiniio the place
and look after the stock , Mrs. Culbreatli
obtained the .services of n cousin , \V. II.
Hammond , to superintend the farm.
Hammond , who was a handsome young
man of twenty-one or twenty-two , lived
about a milo from thu CulbroiUh place ,
and would go there every morning , re
main on the plantation during the day ,
and return to his homo at night. Cul-
breath became very jealous nnd watched
his wife continuously , lie circulated reports -
ports that Sirs. Cnlhrcnth was impureand
that Hammond was more to her than an
ovprsoer. Hammond was told that Cul-
breath had threatened his life , but paid
no attention to it
On the evening of Sept. 10 , just before
going to his homo , Hammond was walKing -
ing in the yard of Mrs. Cnlbrcatli's place
with one of the young children when those
in the house heard "the report of a gun.
On iroing out they found tlio young man
ilciul , with his head alnlost shot oil. Near
by were found the footprints of a man ,
who had evidently been walking up and
down waiting for an opportunity to do
the shooting , There was no reason for
Mispocting any one of the crime except
Culbreatli , and ho was suspected because
ot the reported threats he had made
ngainst Hammond. The followingmorn-
ing he wns arrested at his residence ami
taken to Edgeliold court house. He was
allowed to spent ! the day in the ollico of
his attornoya , ( Jury & Evans , lie de
nied all knowledge of the killing , and
seemed confident of being nblo to provo
his innocence. It was arranged that llio
following day his attorneys should so to
an adjoiuing _ county , where court was iu
session , amlapply lor bail.
At 8 o'clock on tlio evening of the 20lh.
a band of thirty-live mounted men dashed
into the town and surrounded the ollico
of Gary & Evans. Several of them dis
mounted and rushed in. breaking down
the door. Culbreatli had boon locked m
the renr ollico by his lawyers , who mot
the mob in the ante-room. They pro
tested with the intruders and throalened
them with the consequonces. Two of the
party placed pistols at their heads and
ordered them to remain quiet. The
others broke into the room where Cul-
brcath was ami began cursing nnd shoot
ing at him. Ono of Culbroath's arms
wns broken and ho received several
llesli wounils from the "first volley. Ho
cried out that ho wns killed , and begged
that thcr would shoot no more. Ho
deolarcd his innocence of Hammond's
murder and said ho could provo it. The
mob did not hood his declarations , but
dragged him into Ihe street nnd mount
ing their horses , started on n gallop out
of town dragging the wounded man
over the rough road behind them , and
shooting at him from time to lime. Cul
breath had bcon a gallant confederate
soldier and some of Inn old army friends
were in tlio mob. Ho cnllod them by
name and bogged them to have mercy
on him. Hir pleadings were unheeded ,
and after going a milo and n half ho
fainted from loss of blcod and the ter
rible pain ho was enduring. His tor
mentors lliinking him dead , lired a final
volley at linn and left him by iho road
side ,
Culbreatli soon revived and started to
crawl back to the town. Ho was met on
the way by some friends and taken bacK.
Ho lived until morning in terrible agony.
IJoforo dying : ho dcukircd his innocence
and gave the nuiuos of some of his mur
derers. Thirty-five were arrested and
true bills tor murder wore found ngainst
thirty-one. These were released on $0'-
OUO b'all. Their trials have boon continued
for two terms of court , but the state will
do all in its power to brine the case to
trial at the coming term , Senator Hut-
lor , General ( Jury and other distinguished
lawyers have been engaged for the de
fence. Governor Sheppard , when lieu
tenant governor , was also retained , but
cannot now not. Attorney General Miles ,
Solicitor Durham , and othero will repre
sent the state.
The trial ot Koboit Jones for the murder -
dor of his fathor-in-law and two brothers-
in-law will also coma up at this term ,
Last November , while the examination
of the Culbreatli lynohors wns going nn no
in the Kdgeiield court house , this terriulo
triple murder was committed within
bi'iiriiis tlio . Jones had

Mr , KdnurU Prossley , who was 80 years
of ago and palsied , Mr. Prcssley had
two sous , Charles anil Kdwnrd , who
runted a farm and plained It. Jones
would do no work , tint lived on his rel 1li
atives. One day in November Edward
Pressloy , Jr. , told Jones that ho must
work or leave tha place. The following '
day Jones took a gun , walked Into the
lleld where the two young Pressloys were
working and the olu man wjis looking rem
nnd shot Edward dead. Charles Pressloy >
started toward Jones , who drew a knito
and. cul Clmrliss to death. Ho then de
liberately reloaded his gun , and walking
up to the old mail , shot him dead. Then ,
leaving the three bodies in the Held , ho
walked to the jail and delivered himself
up , Jones was tried in July for thomur-
dor of Edward Pressloy , but the jury
rwas pncked and a mistrial resulted. If
he is not convicted at the next ti-rin lynch
I Jaw will probably bu reported to.

The old-fashioned publication , Mooro's

t'hcro are onv-1,511 ! subscribers to the

The city of Paris is In have a million

Cardinal Jacobin ! has been trying to
renew the diplomatic relations between
the Dutch government and the Holy See ,
which have been Interrupted wince 1871.
These attempts have raised a lively dis
cussion in the Dutch newspapers , and it
is still doubtful if the cardinal's ellbrls
will be successful.
The radical municipal council of Mar
seilles lias ordered Tillers' statue , which
wasi placed in ono of Ihe parks of the city ,
to bo removed to ono of the galleries of
tlio museum of that city. The Marseilles

The question of capital punishment is
about to come till before llio French legis
lature again. The report of M. Beau-
quler , deputy , is In favor of ils abolition.
Ho declares that statistics provo that in
Franco at least beheading has not the
least efl'ucl in clicking murder. Hut
Ihero is not much probability of his ob
taining a hearing , for at this moment
crime is too nfo In Parisand the provinces
for philanthropic ollorts of this kind to
raise attention either iiisido or outside of
the chamber.
The recent ministerial crisis In France ,
which happily lusted only twenty-four
hours , wa * brought about , according to
n correspondent , by llio opportunists ,
who thought that by overturning the
present cabinet , they could force n more
radle-il ministry upon M. Grevy. Then ,
according to their calculations , it would
only bo a short time before an extreme
cabinet would bo used up , and M. Ferry
and his friends recalled to power.
At Berlin , the workinsrmnn and clerks
complain that most of thu buildings
erected during Iho past few years have
been for the middle class. While under
ground lodgings have almost disappear
ed from Paris and London , one hundred
thousand persons in Berlin lodge in col
lars or underjironud apartments. The
rents arc so high , thai most of the work
ing class who are married , sublet ono or
moro rooms in their houses. Iu 1880.
more than 200,000 persons were obliged
to sloe ) ) four or live in a. room.
Mine. Houcieant , widow of the founder
of the Him Marcho establishment iu
Paris , has just added $8(10.000 ( to the
§ , ' 00,000 given in August last to the retir
ing pension fund , founded by her for the
benefit of her clerks. Mine. Boiicicaut
also pays the succession tax on this gift ,
which amounts to $100,000 more. Ac
cording to the regulations of the pension
fund every employe , man or woman , of
the Bon Marcho is entitled to a retiring
life pension after twenty years service ,
provided the men have reached the ace
of titty and the women forty-live. These
pensions vary from $120 lo $1500.
Out of door mass meetings have become
apart of the national life of England
and liclgimn. Hut such is not the ease
in France. There are * ilniny explanations
of this , according to the 'letups. Ono of
the reasons , and not the least of thorn , is
that tlio trench temperament is far moro
excitable , and there is a much greater
risk of disorder and violence. We do not
mean to say that English gatherings of
this kind are always peaceful ; wo hail ,
not long ago , an oxamuloto the contrary.
But it is true , nevertheless , that with our
neighbors on the other side of the chan
nel , trouble on these occasions is quite
exceptional , whilst with us it is almost
always the rule.
A large number of the Bavarian moun
taineers are still convinced that King
Ludwig is not dead , and that the institu
tion of a regency is an act of high trea
son. Still others believe that , although
the king is dead , ho was never ill. ami
that his death was caused by somp crimi
nal act. The municipal authorities of
tne Fussen distriol have boon obliged to
issue a notice , saying that the debates of
the chamber of deputies have placed be
yond a doubt the nature of the king's
malady and the circumstances of his
death. Tin notice warns the mountain-
cirs that all of them who continue to
spread false reports ou this subject will
bo prosecuted ,
At the last meeting of the executive
committee of the Pf.ris exhibition of 1881) ) ,
M. Alphand , the well-known engineer ,
was congratulated by his colleagues on
his plan for the buildings , and especially
the gardens that are to stretch from
one end to the other of the construction ,
and are to bo beautiful witlij fountains.
These gardens will bo nearly I.IXH ) yards
lone , and will roach from the Military
school to the Trocadoro. They will bo

The naphtu ' ami petroleum springs near
Bakou , on tlio Caspian sea , are one ot ihe
wonders of the world. There is on foot
a grand project , which some business
men of Liege intend carrying out , of lay
ing a line of pipes from Itukou to the
Black sea , thus traversing the whole
length of Caucasus , and bringing the oil
directly to liatoum , a good port. By the
way , an extraordinary phenomenon is
now witnessed at Bakou. One of the oil
wells is producing eleven thousand tons
of petroleum a day. The steam rises tea
a height of VU feet , throwing up enor
mous stones and clouds of sand. This
petroleum well surpasses anything of the
King yet recorded.

MILITARY EXAMINATIONS.
A Comparison Instituted Between
Tlioso.ot Krnnco ntul Germany.
Pnll Mall Gazette ! Ono of the many
Improvements which General Hoiilangcr
is introducing into the French army is
the raising of the standard of the exam
ination for the admission to the ono
year's volvntccr service in the army. In
view of the excitement which this alter
ation has made among the Fr.Mieh youths
of twenty , who resent such improve
ments on the plea that the now improve
ment is not conceived In n do nine ratio
spirit , it is interesting to compare the
French ami German programmes for the
voluntariat examinations. la Franco the
examination comprises the following
subjects : Two written comp isitioiis , one
dictation and several problems. An oral
test on elementary science , history and
geography. An examination on the pro
fession which the candidate has chosen.
In arithmetic , numeration , Hie metrical
svstein , the rule ot three , and the lirwt
te three books of Euclid. The historical
examination commences with the ques
tion : "What are thu nations who have suc
cessively inhabited the present territory of
FraucoT" and ends by the. following :
"Indicate the events of the year 1870 nnd
( heir principal consequences. " On tlio
Whole the historical questions ro on im
portant dates , chief facts , succession
of rulers , and the great wars , lu geogra
phy the physical and administrative divi
sions ot Franco and her colonies form
the questions. Among tliesu Iho follow
ing Is thu most ingenious : "Traeu the
map of the department where > on live. "
Finally , questions are put on ngrieulturu ,
commerce and industry , from which the
candidate may choose according to his
profession All questions are only on the
general principles' ' of a subject.
In Germany thu examination Is infi
nitely more dlllieult , whii'h may bo suen
by the following paper. The written
part consists of four compositions. I. A
dijsertiuion in German on a phrase in
the historv of the world thus , for instance -
stance ! What , are ( he causes anil consequences
quences of the thirty years' war ? or ,
compare Frederick the Great , to Napoleon
leon r. ; or on thu invention of printing ,
ils influence on the moral and intellectual
progress of thu nations. The historical
composition is sometimes substituted by
onu on a German proverb , but us a rule
the candidate may choose between two
or three subjects proposed by the
jury. 2. A translation from German
'
'into French. ! i. A translation from Ger
man into any modern or iload language
( tliis translation is mostly made into
English or Lalin1. ) . A mathematical
composition comprising several arithme
tical problems and a problem in geome
try ( lirst four books in Euclid ) or alge
bra ( equations ot the lirst and second
degree ) . Then follows an oral exi.mina-
tion oii the principal faet.s in ancient and
modern history , the questions being for
the most part dates. A candidate should
also bn well versed in chronology , com
mencing at the siege of Troy and ending
with the bnttlo of Sudan. Thu examina
tion in geography is also very minute ,
both with regurl to physical and geogra
phical facts. After this thu translation
at sight of a French author is demanded
( Vo tuire , Montesquieu , or Sovigne being
preferred ) , or besides a Latin. Hnglish.or
Italian translation. As to German liter-
ainro a candidate is expected to know it
quired. _
by questions on mathematics , physios
( turostatics , hydrostatics , heat , and elec
tricity ) , and cosmography. With such
facts 'before our eyes no one need ask the
quohtion why thu great majority of Ger
mans who servo their one year as frei-
willigu ( volunteers indeed ! ) wear specta
cles and have ti tendency to stoop.
Mr. Gladstone ns He IjnokR.
Hon. Seth Law , in Brooklyn Maga/ine :
1 was much interested in the appearance
of Mr. Gladstone as lie rose to speak. A
rather small , worn man ho seemed from
the visitors' gallery , whoso thin gray
hair betoken ago , but whose active move
ment as ho rose to his feet indicated
abundant vigor. With a perfectly quiet
manner , but with now and then a grace- ]
fill gesture , his words came out in
smoothly ( lowing sentences directly to
the point. At times with a touch of
irony , and often with a quiet humor
which never failed of its mark , he showed
himself Iho master of parliamentary
fence which all men know him to bo.
When he sat down it was .evident
tliero was nothing loft of the mo
tion. Later on in the spring , as
thu fight waxed harder and heavier
against him , ho displayed with all
tlio tire of youth tbo.so wonderful qual
ities which have made him , even to his
contemporaries , n marvel. Men say ho
never lights bettor than when the battle
is desperate. With a courage born of the
most complete conviction that stopped at
no risk and no labor , with an alertness
that took in the whole field , with an elo
quence winch dazzles oven his enemies ,
like a very Ciutir do Lion ho fought al
most single handed the unequal fight.
At a distance looking at him it would
seem wholly beyond his physical powers.
Close at hand his face is marked , indeed ,
with the lines and wrinkles of many cam
paigns , and you see before you still an
old man , but you see also what at a dis
tance you miss , that the lines arc the lines
of endiiniuco and hardy .strength , moro
than of weakness and old ago.
