Ths French Government has.ordered the suspension from parochial duty of 300 priests io various parts of France ioi interfering in Ihe recent elections. And yet France plamea herself on being a republic of the people, for the people and by the people. Another Horor by Judge Lynch. The outrage perpetrated by the mob at Barnwell 8 C is a disgrace to this Christian country and not alone to the immediate locality in which the crime was perpetrated. That eight men should be taken from the custody of the law and shot like dogs is a sad reflection on on the majesty ol the law and the humanity and justice of the community per mitting it, .The §rr. 1 people should justly be indignact and leave the immediate ocality in which such an outrage is possible. The deed calls for the fullest and lextreme penalties ofthe law. What shall be done toward the ends of jus* tice remains to be seen.

It is bet ter to enter 160 acres of government for $14 than to buy and pay enor mous prices for worn out land. I know of my own knowledge and from what I have heard that the gentlemen in the Land office at Huntsville are elever and accommo dating and would take pleasure in giving parties information about lands. So I urge colored men to take advantage of present opportunity and enter a piece of land. I am glad to see Bon. Charles Hendley, former Editor of the Ga” zetti in said office.

Agency Schools Favored by the Commission. From 80 to 70 Per Cent, of the Pupils Educated at Carlisle and Hampton Die Within Four Tears After Their Return Home—An Old Chiefs Opinion Con cerning the Fogs at Hampton. Washington, Jan. 8.—'The Post says that it is understood the Sioux chiefs had a rather turbulent interview with the commissioner of Indian affairs over the subject of Indian schools. Object to Easteru Schools. Mr. Irvine Miller, secretary of the Sioux commission, when questioned upon the subject, said: “It is natural that the Indians should be dissatisfied with the schools at Hamp ton and Carlisle. In the first place, from 30 to 70 per cent, of the pupils at Carlisle and Hampton die within four years of their return home—die like sheep with the murrain, principally from pulmonary complaints. This w due either to the effect of the eastern climate or to the enervating influence of closed houses after an out-door life. "It may be that going back to the hills and the rude teepees of their parents after the comforts of civilization, is the cause of this great mortality, but the death rate is fearful and the Indians object to the east rn schools. “Another objection is urged that sev eral years in the east teaches the young Indians to dispise their kinsman, to lose the natural gratitude and affection due their parents, whom they find on their return living in ignorance, squalor and wretchedness, and their education makes a gap which cannot lie bridged, while if the schools were at the agency the children would daily take home some evidence of civilization, and a bet ter mode of living, and lift their p&rente to a higher level. A Poetic Old Chief. One old Indian expressed himself very poetically to the Indian commissioner when speaking of the fogs which are frequent at Hampton: “The breath of the earth,” said he, “rises up and poisons our children.” Agency School. Favored. The Sioux commission favors the agency school plan, and it seems to have the weight of argument. TROUBLE BREWING Between u Soelety of Denver Chinese and the Humane Society. Denver, Col., Jan. 3.—There is trouble between one faction of the Chinese colony and the Humane society over the possession of Hon Jony, a 15-year-old girl who was rescued from a den on vVazoo street Tuesday. Fhu Hoso, a Chinese merchant, claims the girl is his wife, but it is understood he bought her in San Francisco not long ago for $1,500. None of the interpreters could be se cured lo get the girl’s story, as they have no desire 16 come in contact with the Highbinders. An old missionary was found who could talk with the girl, and Wednesday Hon Jony related tne story of her life. Sold by her parents In one of the famine stricken districts of China, she was shipped to San Francisco, where Fhu Hoso secured her in one of his houses in this city, and then comjielled her to lead a life of shame. The case will come up in the courts and a strong fight will be made, as the faction Hoso belongs to Is one of the wealthiest in the city. NOT GOING TO WED. _ * Denial of the Recent Rumor Concerning Mary Anderson’s Marriage. New York, Jan. 3.—Tlie report cabled from Nice that Mary Anderson was en gaged to Antonio Navarro, of this city, was denied Wednesday by the latter's father, Mr. J“se F. Navarro. “Miss Anderson and my son are old friends, but nothing more,” Mr. Navarro says. “I think Miss Anderson is more likely to enter a convent than to get married. She is very devout, and almost as much attached to the church as to the stage. Recently in London she scrubbed the floor in one of the hospitals as an act of humility. She is a very noble, beau tiful woman: as modest as she is unpre tending, and as pure as she is good. He would be a lucky man who could get her for a wife, but I think her inclina tions are the other way.” MURDERED AT A WATCH-MEETING. Saloon Demolished and Oiruer Driven Out of Town by a Mob. Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 3.—While a watch-meeting was in progress in the saloon of Charles Self, at Hanna, a place ! near here, Wednesday, a quarrel occurred and Ed.
