Rot His Little Sister Beoause She Fretted and Wed, THE YOUNG FIEND CONFESSES, A Chamberlain, S. D., despatch says: One of the moat devilish and unnatural deeds ever perpetrated in the State was committed ba Charles Mix county. Mrs. in, a farmer's wife, left her 12 -year-old son in chargerof his little half-sister, a child a about two years old, while she went to another part of the farm to work in the garden. During the forenoon the Mee one 'became fretful, when the inhuman boy got AMR the shotgun, telling her she must stop crying or he would kill her. The frightened child ran screaming behind the stove to the weod-box, when the young villain laid the muzzle of the gun across the stove, aimed It at the child, and deliberately pulled the -trigger. The charge 'entered the upper part of the forehead, crushing through the skull and laying bare the brain. After re- loading the gun and putting it in its place =the wall, the boy piolted up the bleed- ing form of his sister and laid it in the cradle. After the cradle had become Bata. 'rated with blood he carried her to the bed, where she was found by the mother when the returned to the house to prepare dinner. All attempts to force the boy to tell how it happened were for a long time fruitless, he declaring that the child had acci- dentally fallen against the stove. Hie father's beatings and even a rope placed about his neck elicited no further informa- tion. Finally a neighbor took the boy amide, and by bribing him with money in- duced him to give the above horrible par- tleulars. The young fiend evinces the most stolid indifference to the fate of his sister or his awbal deed. The child lived only a short time. WHAT JOURNALISM MANS. Much Hard Work, Often Small Pay, and Little Glory. Henry Watterson, whore reputation as a Journalist is second to none on this coati- - neat, thus expresses himself regarding jour- nalism as a profession. If his opinion is to be believed, and certainly no one should better know what he is talking about than Krr Wattersoni journalism, as a stepping. atone to fame, ,zo, to use an expressive, but somewhat slangy phrase, "nob what it's • cracked up to bo." "Ib is a wearing, tearing business. Yon get nothing out of a 'newspaper excepting what you take from it. I am bent on it that neither of my sons shall go Into jour- nalism.

A CONVICT'S FIENDISH DEED, Clubbed a Eellow-Erisouer Smola& and Eourea Vitriol On Rim, BOTH Eafg.S PUT OUT. A Columbus, 0., despatch eays Fiendish and inhuman reansge woe to -day wreaked upon uotorious Editor William J. Elliott, who is eerving a life term for murder in the State Penitentiary here. Willieni M.

The 'vic- tim denies that he gave any provocation whatever. Elliott, who on February 23rd, 1891, shot and haled .A. C. Oeborn, a reporter on the Sunday World, a rival of Elliott's Sunday Capita, yery narrowly escaped hanging for his double enure, ,a stray shot from his revolver had altso killed W. L. Hughes, en iunment bystander. Only the undoubted provocation for the murder, which was committed in the streets, before soores of apedaters, could have saved its perpetrator from the gallows, Elliot* brother, lb .3'. Elliott, who was a participant in the street fight, was convicted of manslaughter. Varney, who hire been a cutter in the State clothing shop, claimed that Elliott had him removed by reporting falsely that he sold a coat to guard. While Elliott was on his way from his cell to breakfast this morning he bad to pass through a narrow alley by way of the chapel and fire department of the penitentiary. Here Varney lay in wait for him. As Elliott pawed through the alley, behind the other convicts, Varney slipped up behind him and struck him oyer the head with a piece of rubber hose, knocking Elliott down and unconsciours. Reaching in his pocket Varney drew out some vitriol 'and threw it in the face of the prostrate man, and literally bathed his featureein liquid fire, blinding the right eye entirely and injuring the left. The intense pain roma Elliott, and as he attempted to rise more vitriol was thrown, but as Elliott dodged the burning add fell on the back part of his neck, burning it terribly and burning his clothes eo that they had to be discarded.

Warden James' says he will turn Varney over to the authorities here for this terrible crime, the penalty of which is from five to twenty years' imprisonment. An Irreverent Spouse.

The business all hinged on correspon- dence the woman built up to immense pro- portion's through matrimonial publications in the West, in which she Advertised that she desired to enter into correspondence with a gentleman of suitable age. The ad- vertiser, of course, was a charming ((widow of four and. twenty years. Emma was after money, as mono of her victim are able to testify. Eight or ten letters constituted her daily mail in the Albany postioffice. They came from all parts of the country, from young and old.'" =EY A.LL LOVED EMMA. The correspondence Mat Emma only a little, but her admirers paid dearly for the fun of writing to the woman of their several hearts, whom they had learned to love after reading two letters on an average and studying the photograph of a sweet faced miss that Emma sent, representing it to be herself. The first letter Emma wrote her corres- pondent was of the "glad to meetaren" kind. The second tinges a trifle with love; the third more so, until in the fourth epistle she wanted to journey to the home of the admirer and there be joined la holy wedlock. There was but one obstacle in the way, bowever, and than was that Emma was unfortunately short of funde. She needed a little wardrobe, and then, too, the expel:tee of travelling precluded the passibility of making the journey-. If the admirer would advance the money, etc., she would pay. it back. She believed a wife should help her nusband and not be entirely dependent, TEM MONEY ALwAYS 0AmE. This was the song he sang to two or three different men eaoh day. It was a gong that touched the heart. One and all chipped in from $20 to $70 each. The money came, but Emma never went. The shekels came into her hands, but the woman never went into an admirer's arms. Daring the lad few months Emma swept the Western plains with a scythe of love terms and reaped a golden harvest. Com- plaints, however, began to fiowin from those who had loved unwisely and losb. After considerable trouble in obtaining one com- plainant who would go through the legal form of affidavit and the like, Post -office Inspector -in -Chief James went to Albany en Friday night with the neceseary papers for the woman's arms% aMMA LOCKED IIP. A, STRANGE DELUSION. The Story et the 50,000 enaleretemerhoMelen to " Aseend." For some deluaions there is no cure. Theologians; say that the doctrine or theory they call &ilium has reappeared with almost mathematical regularity at defined intervals ever since the apostolic age, and that each stroceasive set of raillenarianehave made exactly the same inlatakes. AU this is illustrated by this present bicentennial of the Millerites, for it was jut 50 yams ago that they made their first attempt to " go • up" at Boston. The Milleritee had leased the lot on How- ard street, Boston, from Mr. Ford, a famous restaurant man, and at the end of three years the lot was to revert to the lessor, as the Imams expected the end of all things. On this lot waseerected the famous tabernacle. An inspector reported to Mayor Brimmer that the walls were out of plumb, to which the Mayor replied that he "did not care how much the building inclined in, but he did care if it inclined owe" As an actual fact, the Ieev. William Mil- ler himself was " not in it." life declared that "some time between the vernal :equi- nox of 1843 and that of 1844 the consumma- tion would come and Jesus Christ appear in person to judge the world." Tberaupon the more fiinatio section of his followers figured it down to April 23rd, 1843, and when that day passed another faction in the then new weet--Indiana especially -fixed upon the llth of the following August, of which an entertaining and very in etructive account Is given in Dr. Eggleston's novel, "Tho Er d of the World." That, too, 'passed, and Mr. Miller explained that the error rose from confounding Jewish Mane with Roman time -1843 of the former was 1814 of the latter -and so the whole delusion culminated and literally exploded on the night of October 24th -25th, 1844. " Azd the world still revolves on its own rialetree, subject only tothehonetitution of thoUraibed Statee." Of the 50,000 Millerites, suffioe it to any, the moderate section joined the Adventists, the others mostly had to bays guardians appointed, and Mr. Miller, himself, good hearted old fanatic', died in 1849, aged 67, devoutly believing to the last tbat doctrine was correct, end that le bed only missed the date by a few years.

TRAGIC END. Five Hundred Devotees Perish in a and Storm on the Road to Jerusalem. OVERWHELMED IN THE DESERT. A Si. Petersburg despatch says: The Nadia newspaper publishes a leder from Jerusalem, which gives an account: of a ter- rible oelarnity that befell a party of 1,000 Russian plIgnme which left Russia for Nazareth on March 16th. While about 150 miles fromarusalem the party was overtaken by a terrific sand storm whiohlasted seven hours. Succeedhee *la came a dead calm, with out% intense heat that men fell like dies. The water supply was soon exhausted, and many of the pilgrims became insane and committed suicide. Especially was this the case among the women, of whom there were many in the party. Their sufferings were something terrible. The party eventually reached the town of %means, but nearly a third of those who started ant so joyously on the pilgrimage remained on the road dead or dying. After reaching Romania those of the pilgrims who were not in complete health were advised to remain there until they should become so, but they obstinately refused to comply with this advioe. Ac- cordingly the whole caravan started off again to Jerusalem. The heat became worse and worm:stand many again suocumbed to it. Still they pushed on, and when they finally reached the first objective point of their de- votion, Jerusalem, nearly one-half of the 1,000 were lying on the road, most of them already dead. ,a relief party at once darted out from Jerusalem. They collated as many of the dead and dying as they could find. But fully a third of those who perished have nob been seen since, and it is believed that they are buried under the avalanche of sand.

There is a baronet in Toronto who is clerk in the law (mirth. Ilia father got the baronetcy years ago for service,' as Chief Jaistice for Upper Canada, but the family is poor and poverty and a hereditary title are an illonatched team. The late Sir George Cartier, is French-Canadian politician, was a baronet, but he died without male issue. With them exceptions and another yet to be mentioned, • the titles conferred on Canadians are life titles only, belonging to the Ionian Order of St, Michael and Se George; IMIMIOR AND Drfnaton SIRS. That order was instituted in 1818 for the gratification of certain natives of the Ionian 'elands, then under a British protectorate. Ib wao afterward extended to the colonies in general. The members of the order rank after members of the Order of the Bath. There are three grades in it -the Grand Cross (Y. C. M. G.) Knights, the Knight Commander (K. C. M. Can and the com- mander pure and simple, or C. M. G. The stars represent St. Michael encountering Satan and Sts George polishing off the dragon. The ribbon is oxen blue with is scarlet stripe. The K.

Goldvrin Smith relates that on one moat, don William IV. found himself seatea between is duke of royal &scent and a tradesman who had been knighted as Lord Mayor of London. This gave tbe mortarch an opportunity of pointing out that in Eng- land everything WM open to merit "On my right," he said, "MIs the Duke of Buckingham, with the blood of the Plan- tagenets in his veins ; on my left sits Sir Somerby Something, raised from the very dregs of the people." The Canadian knights are raised not from the dregs nor from the body of the people, butfromthe froth at the top. Some of the best men Ms the colony have refused the title. One or two who accepted it to please their wives and daughters would gladly shed 11 if they could. It site best on the Nova S'oolsia politicians. Nova Scotia onoe had A BREED OF BARONETS all to herself, and, owing to the presence of the British garrison at Halifax, or perhaps to the natural bent of the inhabitants who are descended from Highland clansmen and old aoldiers, she takes trier° kindly to the &wintery of imperialism than any other part ef the Dominion. France tried to found a hereditary swig- tooracy in Canada. Cardinal Richelieu provided for the erection of dwells:a marguleates, vimounties and baronies, but began the experiment with seigniorlea, and never gob any further. The seignioral tenure, based on the old custom of Paris, was not abolished until 1854. The seignior holding his estate from the Crown was the territorial lord, and the tenant or censitaire paid him a small rent and submitted to various exactions invented in feudal times. • otrn ONLY BARON. Whenthe Adel Abolition was passedthere were 220 fiefs or feudal estates in French Canada, owned by 160 seigniors who larded 10 over 75,000 eeneitaires. In 1700 the title of Baron de Longman Was conferred upon one Charlet de Moyne by the King of France, and in 1881 Queen Victoria re- cognized the rights of ChariesColmer Grant, a descendant of the first baron, to wear the title. This is the only peerage directly connected with Canada which will last beyond the lifetime of the present holder, and Mr. Grant is not a resident of Canada. Several French Canadians have been knighted of late. Others bare received the legion of honor from the French republic. A few have been honored by the Pope. Mr. Mercier is a Roman count, entitled TO WEAR WHITE SILK BREECHES with a coat of many colors, and to sit within the reasokery atchurcia, Sir Edward Watkin, the Englieh railroad man, hse been cruel enough to publiah letters which he got from . Sir George Cartier when Sir George wee pulling wire° in London for a title. Cartier's friends allege that Sir Edward procured his own title by similar insane. A few years since another French Canadian politician, who desired a tine, circulated a petition setting forth his various achievements( and had it signal and sent to the Governor -Gourd, but the latter refused to net upon it.

The Nova Scotia baroneteies were bought and sold for °ash. Each biironet had to pay "1,900 merit% Pcottish mousy" to Sir WilliarnAlexatder, 'Tama the Pint's lieu- tenant in the' colony, and to supply six set- tlers. The Scottish reblee of the genuine sort attacked and ridiouled the new order to such an extent thab in 1626 Charles ehe First) iseued is proolannitioe in these words : " And theirfote we wairne all and sunders the gentrie of tato kingdeme that they either procure the said dignitie for themselfis or, repine at otherio for &hie the same, undo pain d being punist as oontemptusitiee of his majestic% inellnatiousi and diaberbarie of the /niblick peace." The new baronets were authorized by a neeond proclamation to wear abart their necks an orange efik ribbon bearing in oompeneation, for his losses, MU) the beronet, and "theirs helms male in all time corn- ing," were left to whittle for their theueaud insT110.

RHASILDIEs, BASHAS, SULTAN. The Degraded Condition of Ike /1 oilers oP Morocco. It is charmingly simple and ideal, like so many things in Morocco, this system. One- fifth of the harvest' resulte to the man who, Milo the ground, sows the eeed and reapo the crop. Bub the pa:setae:a result to the, Ithammes is that he is a slave, bound for life to the proprietor of the ooll, who is in his tuna practically a slave to the Bashes of the dietrict, and he again the serf of the Sultan. From the very first year of bis toilsome life, when the harvest happens to be a bad one, the fate of the Ithammee is misled. His proprietor gives him grain forhirneelf and hie family and a few psetas to clothe them, and then he belongs: to his proprietor for lifa. Thenceforth he abandons himself to fate, it is the will of God, and this being so he never attempts to repay the debt and be a free man again. "Clod helpa those who help themselves" is no part of his creed. And his life slips away from him, and under the miserable shelter of his dark and dirty hut he brings up another generatism ef !slaves like to himself --spiritless fatalists with the yoke of servitude on their necks from the day of their birth. A recent traveller in Morocco once inter. viewed a khammes and asked him what was the cause Of his misery and of the low state - of agriculture generally in his country. The kharnmes stunned it all up in a sentence "The locusts mace sometimes; droughts come frequently ; Bashes come always." Poor khamsnes 1 I thought of him often on the TangieriFez road, and this epigram- matic saying of his fellow laborer came into - my mind forcibly when, on a day when we were nearing the boat ferry of the Sebou River, we rode suddenly into a smarm of locusts. It ia a remarkable phenomenon, a warm of locusts -a living snowetarra'of &atm°. tion. The air is filled with whirring wings, the ground hidden by swarming, crawling, Mapping creatures. You ride over them, through them; is crack of your hunting whip trauma hundreds to rise and flutter • wildly shout ; you cannot sweep the lash - round your head without killbag a dozen o your horse smashes, scores with his hoofs. Above no, around us, for hundreds of yards, the swarm whirled and crawled. "To -mor- row," said our servants " this plain, which, is now green, will be brown and bare." We could well believe it. • Away off to our rights was a eight almost-. as remarkable as the locust Right -thou- sands upon thousands of great lelaok and white storks, solemnly but steadily gorging; themselves upon the insects. Off went one, of my young American companions,fula gallop, at the storks. He was close upon them when, with a wild yell, he atartled them from their • pray. In an instant. the whole flock rose like a vast, white cloud, beating the air wide thundering wings. The atmosphere:, was alive with wheeling, whirling, rush- ing forms. Outs startled horses fidgeted an& shied at the commotion. Soon the great. birds settled down again and the work of destruction went on; the green things of the earth were devoured by the lomat: e the locusts were snapped up by the storks. And thus the agrioulerral "system".of Morocco was illustrated for us by this - streams: experienoe In natural history; the plant, the locust and the stork -Khan -Imes,. Pasha. and Sultan Punishments in Morocco. The notion of suiting the punishment to, the crime, which may have found favor with the great medieval tnaltane of Cordova, does not occur to the Maroquine officials of to -day. A Moorish law court is a parody ef all that Europeans: mean by justice. Er- tortion is the main objeot of the judges, and the contempt for suffering is absolute. The rich may escape with whole eking, but those without "palm oil" have scant mercy. For instance, the mere accusation, of a paltry theft, if made from some favored, quarter, will bring on the accused ther ordinary punishment for such conducts. Thin, consists in breakirm the ankle bones, and. pitching the sufferer into the neared lane or ditch, whence lila relatives may or may not remove him. As there are no eurgeone" and no medical appliances, the bones oan-- not be set, and reunite so as to leave the toes turned inward directly facing omen • other. At Tiorgier I leave oeveral times seen one of these poor creabures-possibly • quite innocent of the offence attributed to him -hobbling ever the cobbled alleys,. while the passersby nudged each other an& muttered ' Thief."
