The murderer be charge of Sheriff John M. Est( 8, of Madison, Wis., was for a few hours the other day a prisoner at pollee headqaarters, New York, awaiting trans portation to the scene of the orime. Hans Kuehn is the murderer's name, and his vic- tim was his employer, William Christen, who had befriended him, and given to him a home and employment in his cheese factory at Primrose, Rene County, Wis. Work was stopped in the factory Dn. '13, and Christea and Kuehn disappeared. At first the neighbors thought that the men were off on a epree. Two lads, fishing in a small stream near Primroee eight days later, drew to the benk a heavy bag'which they opened eagerly, ex- pecting to find gold and silver. Instead they saw a human head., mangled by blows with an axe, lying amid fragments of a man's viscera. They fled in terror tend told the authorities. The head was recognized as William Christen's and Kuehn was at Duce suspected. Investigation revealed the full details of ihe horrible butchery. The floor of the aotory was covered with bloodstains' which aad beere partially wiped away, andin the are -place was the partially ,consumed clothes of the victim. Secreted in the cellar was a blond -stained axe, over which ashes had been /eked, and everywhere was a sign of studied effurt to hide all traoes of the crime. A further investigation showed that Kuehn had been planning the murder of Christen for a long time. He purchased a gallon of whiskey Dee. 12, took it to the room which he occupied with his employer, and got him hopeleenly drunk. While Christen was lying on his bed help. less and unconecious from drink, Kuehen robbed him. of $400 in money and then split Ms head o 'en with an axe. He dragged the body to the factory, put it into a large cheese tub and hacked it into small pieces, using an axe and a sharp knife. The head and intestines he sank in the creek, and the rest of the body he forced into two large eatchels, which he carried with him to Mon- roe, Wis., and destroyed or buried. He spent an entire de,y ha an endeavor to wash out the stains of blood and in burning the garments which Cleristen had worn. The day after the tragedy Kuehn made his brother drive him to Monroe, telling him that Christen was to meet him there, and that they would go on to Chicago and pron- ably extend their travels to Switzerland. At Monroe Kuehn purchased a steerage ticket for Queenstown on the steamsbip Lord Gough, whieh was to sail Dec. 19, and em- ployed a man to carry his two satchels. The porter discovered that the bottoms of the satchels were saturated with blood, but ac cepted the excuse that Kuehn had been out gunning and careied the rabbits he had kill- ed in the statchele. The authorities, however'obtained this elite and followed Kuehn to Philadelphia, whence he sailed on the Lord Gough. A cableniessagewae sent, and th6 murderer nas arrested at Qaeens town. He was brought back on the B-itannic. He is a small, pale man, twenty-six years old. Brute Ethies, A recent writer says: "1 have been ex- ceedingly interested as a hatioulturist and studert t of nature in observin g tharecognition ofthe rights of propertyin domestic animals. A hen will not concede a graiu of corn as be. • longing to another, but the one robbed will manifest indignation but a ben will recog- nize the right of another to occuparcy of a nest, if not thereby seriously discomforted. A cat makes no claim to possession until her foot is on the piece of meat. After pos- session, however, she asserts her poisitive rights, and hi avier cats will allow the claim. Old cats will often allow young ones to rob them, but they will not ellow older ones to do the same. A dog not only claims a. bone while in poseeesion, but establishes his right to the same bone when buried, and woe be to the dog that opens the cache,' This reeognttion of property rights is seen every- . where in lower life, although theft is, com- mon,' comments Mary E. Spencer in the St. Lotus Globe. Again, if you find your horse In his neighbor's stall eating oats and scold hina for it his retreat is made with marks of shame. I have seen the same manestation in a fowl. The idea of right comes of couture before the idea of abstract right. Natural rights are recognized by every creature that exists.

The first woolens which will be selected for early spring gowns are light sof 1 serge with a perceptible twill. The woolens are imported in a variety of artistic old colors revived from the Directoire period aud note- bly in natural grays and suede colors. Green, in the new bluish omit celled Dragon- greem and in the alreaey familtaa grayish greens known as Empire, will continue to be popular. Rosewood brown, copper -red and new shades of blue as intense as the old Maz mini hues are shown among the new goods. limn all this medley of colors, re - &red women will probably &ooze the netural iiolors for ebreetwear, while more vivid tints will be used in the house. The distinctively new feature of the season's importation of woolen goods is the revival of an old one, the introduction again of the elaborate broche woolen of the age of Pompadour and Watteau. This work prodaces a raised figure which simulates in artistic shading and outline the work of embroidery, and for this reason ib 18 superior to the brocaded work of the Jacquard loom. Every shade of twilled woolen is shown in plain goods, and in goods with brocaded grounds the leaf, flewer or fruit of the design is wrought in thread of silk, mohair or wool in a deep border on one side and a narrow one on the other. Only a yard and three.quartere or less of this double -width goods is selected to :tombine with the plain fabrio. It is usually arranged as the front breadth only with the ieed border at the bottom, while the nar- row border is torn off to form the trimmings ef the bodice In some cases the borddred n aterial forms the entire underskirt, while the plain material falls over it, merely dis- playing the lower edge of the underskirt at the side and back and alao diaplaying'usually all tbe front breadth. There are many woolens brocaded in all over design with bremble leaf or with clusters of raspberry fruit and flowers. Saab woolens are especial- ly pretty in pale suede color or old-fashioned mode with broche figures in silver white or in the cool blae-greens, which seem exactly suited to spring, with brocaded or white figures of flew- de lis, the graceful leaf and flower on its long slender stern arranged to term a deep border to a tablier front.

On Lafayette square they have had built a "Cotton Palace, in rivalry of the ice palaces of the Northwest and the corn palaces of the grain cities, wbich are erected during the carnival Imams. In this palace will be exhibited all the industrial achieve- ments of the Southern women. In one de- partment will be a group of the Acadian women from Evangelinee country, making their famous blankets, whieh are grocaing most as much in demand for decorattve pur- poses as the Navajo blankets of the Indiaps. These blankets are spun on the old fashioned wheels and woven in the primitive hand - looms, while the dyes are all made from roots dug on the prairies. The whole labor from the very beginning will be in progreas in Ibis department. The beautiful basket: work of the Chata and Attakapas Indians, too, will be seen, and there is to be a creole restaurant, where fat old negro mammies with their heads tied up in butterfly tignons will prepare the famous creole dishes in the old fashioned bake -ovens at a, huge open fire. place -a" calla tout °heed," gumbo, crayfish bisque, grillades, Joinbolaya bouille bases, oourt bouillon, creole coffee and potato pone, besides the fried chicken, corn bread and buscuits which are well-known pieces. de resistance in Southern cookery.

There are to be flower booths, where every sort of blossom known to the splendid sub -tropical flora may be had; there will be choruses of negroes, with, old planation songs and creole choruses to sing the plaintive patois melodies which George Cable has made famous. of the guttural Comanche wh6op.Tineis clearly a mistake, based on insuffioienb in formation. The yell was heard in the Texan war for independence, lb came clear and strong from the throats of the men who fol - /owed Houston at San Jacinto, but that wes not its genesis by eny means, The Texans ot that day were all, or nearly all natives of other Western States, and their war ay was a pettiof the equipment thes carried to Texas with them All the reliable ;evidence 1310W8 that the rebel yell Was a contribution of the great West to the cause of American freedom in the rebellion against England. .Before the Revolution a handful of Virginians had pushed across the Alleghaniee and. built at Watauga, in what is pow Tennessee, one of the first outposte of American civiliz don in the then unknown West lying be- tween the Alleghenies and the Pacific. They held in check the 13,000 Cherokee warriors who were incited by the .leuglish to attack the rebels of the semboatd in the rear, and when these E astern rebels seemed hopeless by demoraliz when Cornwallis with Tarleton and Ferguson under him, had out the Confederacy in two, "the rebel yell" was heard for the first time east of the monetains. It was the accompaniment of a style of fighting with which the Eoglish re- gulars were entirely unfamiliar—the mass- ing of a smear force against the weakest point of a scattered opposing force, and then, without regard to the numbers of the opposing force, a headlong rush and the wild charging ory which has since become memorable as "the rebel yell." When the brave Col. Ferguson retreated to King's mountain and intrenched himeelf there in what he supposed to be an impregn- able position his seemed in command, Du Peyster' said to him as the WI eatern men chargedup the mountain under the galling fire of Ms superior force: "There are those yelling devils again." Six hours later the yelling rebels from the West had wun the battle of King's Mountain, captured its sur- viving defenders, and turned the tide of the Revolution bank against England, sending Cornwallis in confused retreat to the sur- nnder at Yorktown. There is no doubt at all of the genesis of the rebel yell as it was heard at Ring's Moutain. It was the war cry of men as brave as ever died in defence of homes—the Tennessee Cherokees, whose language has made the rivers and mountains of their old hunting grounds musical with names that are are soft as Italian. With the possible exceptionof the Natchez, they were the most intelligent and least cruel of North American Indians, holding the universal Indian law of retaliation, but more capable than any others of the Indian stock of for- giving injuries.' Under 0,3onostara and Old Tarsel they made ga heroic fight against the westward advance of civilization, and their battle cry was heard in 'defence of Tennessee soil at the first fight on Lookout Mountain as defiantly as at the second. It was turned against them by the white Tennesseans who followed John Sevier in over a hundred fights with them, in every one of which the Cherokees were losers. Before Sevier's time, most of the fighting against Indiags had been done from behind stockades or in skirmishing from behind trees. With a military genius that was Napoleonic before Napoleon, Sevier adopted andnever swerved from a policy of sudden attack in the open field, always in the enemy's country, without waiting to reckon up how many men tbe enemy could brieg against him if _given time. This art of war was defined in 1865 by the Tennessee cavalryman whom Gen. Lee called the great- est of his Generals in the West as "gebting there first with the most men." Against this Method of fighting the untrained Chero- kees could do nothing. They fought for every foot of territory, but always with great loss of their own warriors inflicting ittle in return. The author of the "Rear Gaard of the Revolution "has no theory of his own con- cerning the origin of the rebel yell, but the facts he has collected make ib certain enough that it was orwiaally the bettle cry of these Red Tennesseans, who called their warriors "Sons of Fire" (Cherahkees). In all mouths but theirs it has been a rebel yell invariably. It was raised by rebels at King's Mountain; again a few years later at Jones- boro where 1,500 Tennessee rebels assembl- ed to rescue John Sevier, who had been kid- napped by North Carolina and carried across the mountains to be tried for treason as the head of the Tennessee rebellion against North Cerolina ; it was a rebel ery at the Almo and San Jacinto; later on it was heard again at Shiloh and Chickamauga from the throets of Tennesseans who rebelled against Tennessee for the Union, and of other Ten- nesseans who rebelled against the Union for Tennessee. It is in accord with eternal fitness that the rebel war cry should trace its origin to Tennessee—which abeve all others is the rebel State—the only State of the second rebellious Confederacy which waived all disoussion of the Constitutional right of se- cession, and, standing squarely on its rebel- lious record against England and North Carolina, rebelled out of the Union instead of seceding out of it. --[St Louis Republioan.

There is na doubt that 11 should never be plamed in the power of pupils or assistant teaohere ; the head maeter or mietrees should alone have the power to punish. Te qaeation that has been raised as to ernether girls should be exempt from it is, to say the least, child. ish.

It may be said that such sentiments are unnatural and not in accord with the highest philosophy, but to take example from nature, pain is to be regarded as an institution ordered by a higher than human intelligence that pre- vents us from iejuring our own bodies and so tends to our preservation.

O'Connell's Love for His Wife, The demeetio relations of ()Connell can- not escape the notice of the most carelese reader. They were broadly distinguished feom those of common men by the vehement and ever -flowing tide of emotion that cours- ed through them. They are illuminated. hy every occasion that comes up, and we find him acting tne part of a spiritual adviser in detail to a daughter in a grave and anxious oriels of the soul, bhe particular nature of which is reverently veiled. Their verbal txpreseion is concentrated in his letters to his wife. _Pram these it appears that his whole married life, from its commencement in 1802 to its close in 1836, Was one con tinued course, not of ardent affection only, but of courtship. Unless 1 or the purpose of satire no such gushing vocabulary of love has ever, as far as I know, been laid open to the public eye.'O'Connell speaks of Charles Phillips, the author of "Curran and his Contemporaries," as "1088110 with love." Sime might be inclined to re- tort the phrase upon him. After 11 years of married life, in a letter of no more than 16 lines, his wife ie " my darling heart:. "heart's treasure," "my sweetheart love." my own Mary," "my own darling love," " any own dearest, dearest darling," and "I wish to Gad you knew how fervently I dote on you."

I have known him at various Vines . to taokle some of the hardest oases in Bards town when no other man would dare to so near them. Itt tihosedays-1858 to 1865 - . and, for IA at metter, long before—there were a number of toligh fellow& young and old, in Bardstown mad vicinity. They were I personally clever men, bub were given to 'using too much red liquor, and when drunk ' were generally dangerous. They all had the extreme Southern idea of insult, honor, reparation, and all that, for whioh the Southern students at St, Jeseph'ii College were largely responsible, and, despite their manner of getting on sprees and terroriznig the town, were as chivalric a lob of eouug men generally as you could' find. It was with then that Old Jim had to demi (mouton - ally, and he never failed to capture his man, I and that without trouble. I Among thoee who lived near town were several who were considered desperate characters. One of these was John Robin- son, who in a street fight, killed. 13111 Hardin, a grandson, I believe, old Ben Hardin, and was himself so badly cut that oue of his arms was crippled ever after. R Ainson used to come to Mem and get drunk, and when in that condition always wanted to kill somebody. Nobody oared to interfere with him. I never saw but one man, aside from old Jim Wood, wile had the nerve to stand up to Robinson, and thali was Bill Rowan., son of Senator Rowan. 1 have seen hire defy Robiuson to do hie worst, but John wouldn't try anything but cursing. He knew that Bill was as game as he was. On one occasion, when .John had been unusually drunk and had remained in town longer than usual, the good people became seriously alarrieed lest he should kill somebody before he lett. They wanted to have him put in jail, but no one could be found who would attempt the job. Old Jim Wood happened to be in town and some one appealed to him. The old fellow—he was the about forty- five, but gray-haired, and was called old— agreed to capture Robinson, He found him on the street -we street on which a score of mortal combats had taken place—walked up to the desperedo and said:" John, come with me." John didn't want to do it, but Wood notifieft him that he had to go to jell, and. John gave up and marched along quiet. ly as a lamb. To 1862 Bardstown was full of Federal sol- diers. St. Joseph's College had been seized and converted into a hospital, as were other buildings. The town was under military rule. Capt. Jonathan Green, the "retormed genabler," was in command, and his force con- sisted of a hundred or two convalescent sol diers from the h.ospitels. One of these sol- diers, who was suffering from a wound in the head, which affected hie mind in some de- gree, came out in town one day and took a drink Or two, which made him wild. He got hold of an .Enfield rifle, loaded it, put a bayonet on it and defied everybody. Cape Green sent the provost guard after him, some eight or ten strong, under a sergeant. The crazy soldier had created a terrible excitement on Main street, and was fleurish Mg his gun in every direction. Whichever way he turned its muzzle there was a scatter- ing. The guard could not get near him. Every time it started towards him he le yelled his rifle and threatened to shoonwhioh he would have done. There must have been nearly two hundred'soldiers besides the town people on the street. No one knew what to do. Suddenly some one said: "Here comes Old Jim Wood; hell get him." To the as- tonishment of the guard, iu tact, everybody else, the Sheriff coolly walked up to the in- furiated man and laid hold of his rifle, say- ing : "You'd better give me that," took it away from him, and in less than two minutes he was a disarmedprisoner. Old Jim didn't do anything but look at him, either. That's the way he dideverydody. There aredozens of just such cases to his credib. When Nal son County lost him she lost one of the best men in the county." The Latest Female Dissipation, The latest female vice is intoxication by naphtha. It is not drank. The funes of it are simply inhaled, inducing, so the inebri- ates say, a par ocularly agreeable exhilara- tion. ,Not even hasheesh, it is understood, begets more tascinating dreams or more gem geous visions of splendor. The girls in the rubber fecuories, a which there are a great number in Boston and its neighborhood, are greatly addicted to this novel form of drunk enness, In such establishments naphtha is used in enormous quantities to cleanse the rubber, being kept in big boilers closed against the air. To the valves of these boil ere the young women employers readily ob tain access and breathe the exhalations there- from, some unlucky accident having betray• ed to a chance experirnexter the abominable secret. The notion is said to have been brought onginally from Germany by emi- grant laborers in petticoats. Now the man ufacturers propose to put a stop to the evil by keeping the valves carefully locked. An overdoite of naphtha fumes brings on hysteri. cal convulsio, s and other unpleasant symp- toms, The habit, long followed, causes a swelling of the face and other parts of the body, with dropay to follow, and sometimes epilepsy. On the whole, it is diffioult to know which of these new-fangled vices for women to recommend. There is ether drink - ng, laughing gas aad tea -eating, besides tho naphtha. The conscientioas pursuit of any one of them will surely lead to the lunatic asylum. You payri your money—as one might renuirk—and you tekes your choice. Jewelry as a Necessity. At the first annual dinner of the Birming- ham Jeweller s' end Silversmith's Association, held on the 28th ult., Mr. Chamberlain pro posed the toast of prosperity to the associa- tion. In concluding his speech he said that judging from the faces about him the manu- zacturers engaged in the trade were evidently not dispirited. "I do not think you have any reason to be," lie said, "because after all the love opersonal adornment is in- herent in human nature, and you will not find any nation, either in modern or in ancient times, or any tribe, however savage, who could do without it. Consequently, when people Mak about jewellery being a luxury they are talking of what they know nothing whatever about It is per - featly evident that it is a necessity of human nature. The fact is, all experience teaches us that men and women, and especially women, can do without houses, they can do without food for a long time, they can do without drink, and there are some of them, I have been told, that can do without tobacco—(laughter) —they can do without clothe's, but they cannot do without orna. ment. Accordingly, you will find that the most naked tribes of Central Africa, al- though they cart do without everything that we have Coale to regard as necessities of life, cannot do without either their nose-riegs or their lip rings or their ear -rings or some other articles ofpersonal adornment which ministers to their self satisfaction, and which even causes envy and jealousy to everybody else. I say then that, under the circum- stances, carrying on as you do a trade of this description, you may be perfeetly certain it cannot and will not permanently languish.
