' - . -J. I?us The vagaries of South American justice are ably illustrated by a story that comes from the Panama Star and Herald. Two prisoners, Frnociico Brionos Gamboa and Victor Higuera, were implicated in a murder at Guara. The Guayaquil court, .being unable to fix the relative guilt of either, passed the following sentence: "They shall draw lots and the one favored by chance shall Dot be executed and shall be commuted to that of imprisonment for life, which sentence he shall serve in the prison of the capital of the republic, after being present at the execution of the other murderer." It will doubtless be a satisfaction to the able-bodied men of Germany to know how the statisticians have figured out some results of the increase in effectiveness of "arms of precision.'' In the last war, it is state I, the number of soldiers killed in action was about twc per cent, of those engaged. In the next it will be greater, though not more than three per cent.?that is to say, only about 1200 out of an army corps of 35,. 000. Of the same number about 5800 will be wounded. It is well to have these things settled before hand. It is the percentage ol this sort that increases the percentage of German emigrants to this country. Madame Pattl, has "sold her voice.'' :Thatis, for a consideration, she has prom ised to permit her throat to be examined after her death, to see if the construction of it in any way accounts for her marvelJous gift of song. The probability is, suggests Yankee Blade, that the secret lies more in the brain than in the vocal mechanism. Similar thought for the in formation of posterity i9 evidenced by the action of Sir Daniel Wilson, Presi dent of Toronto University, who has be queathed his brain to be examined by the 4 'faculty."

Ritchie was a United States prisoner and was awaiting trial. Head was jailed for larceny, but there was grave suspicion against him for complicity in the death of a white man found in a horribly mangled condition on the railroad track in December last. The escape was daring, and was planned with a cunning forethought that shows the men to be adepts iu juil delivery.

L. Polk, baviug been called together in council to consider the reported peculiar conditions in the order in the Southern States, which it was believed seriously threatened that harmony, brotherly love and unity of attion so necessary to the success of our ciuse and the success of the order iu these State*, after counselling together and hearing detailed reports, rejoice to say to you that we feel greatly encouraged and iuspircd by the splendid spirif of unity aud determined adherence to principle which pervades the order in u*<?jv every one of these Btates, aotwithstanding the comDiueu forts oi our enemies to sow seed of discord in our ranks pending the heated political contests, local and national. Wc therefore feel it our duty, as servants of the people we represent, standing upon the outposts and watch-tower of this the greatest political revolution ever known to tho nation, to 6ay to you that we have entered a crucial period in the history of our great reform movement, in which the greatest caution, earnest deliberation and strict adhereuce to our principles arc necessary to preserve intact that organization which stands to day as the sneet-auchor and hope of millions of wealth producers in the great battle f?r the God given rights of huYou '--^falulatert upon tno great harmony And unity of sentiment in regard to Alliance principles which prevails within your borders, and upon the fact that a careful canvass of the subject at this meeting has shown that practically the members of the order in these States stand squarely upon the demands, with the avowed determination of hold ing devotion to them above that to any method of action, and that today the number of those who so endorse the prin ciples of the Alliance is much greater than ever before. A sentiment also prevails, strong aud uniform, that this great order, as an organization, is the greatest of all modern Forces for the spread of reform education, and tha?rits work must be perpetuated and encouraged in this high spneie, entirely free from any partisan entanglements. The ouly dangers which seem in any i way to threaten a lack of the fullest de velopment and prosperity of the order are tnose which attend the disposition of r a few mun and papers to publicly criticise aud condemn others for their raeth1 ode. This is not of sufficient extent to damage the order, but it mars that per ? feet unity that should prevail, an<i always in jures all concerned, and it is contrary to the spirit of brotherly love and ? forbearance that should prevail. Another evil, which fortunately pre^ vuils only in a very few localities, is the e disposition of members to seek political e office at the lir.nds of their bretbien, fory getting that principle of Alliance docQ trine which declares that the office should s c seek the man an 1 not the man the office. :i In consideration of these views as to the situation, the following rules of acr. lion are suggrstcd, as well calculated to >e enable the order to go through the cornis ing ordeal of a fierce political contest n and come out strengthened aud purified : t. 1. Let a spirit of harmony prevail and let unity of .".rtion be the rule. Let none condemn a blether who stands squarelj by the principles of the order or speak in ;e any way disparingly or disrespectfully | of Iriui because they may differ as to the best methods of enforcing our principles. _ Grant to every brother honesty of purpose. B. 2. Lot fealty to the piinciples of th< t sider be the true and only teat of mem j' beiship, and let those who value theii partisan affiliations nioic than their Aliia auce obligations be informed that theii g' order doinauds strict and full devotior gg to its principles, and leaves each to bit er own choice as to methods, but that tbi It method can in no case control the princi 0j pie, and therefore nil who affiliate shoulc _ accept as supreme the principles of thi M order. 3.
