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." I p. this he folio wr, the cx
ample of Professor Huxley, who, in the
Anthropological Section ef the Social
Science Congress, held at Dublin in 1878,

"any use of his brain they thought
proper."
The following figures, taken from the

A DARING ACT
How Two Prisoners Escaped From
the Greenville Jail.
Greenville, S. C. ?George Head and
.Johu Ritchie, two prisoners contiued in
the county jail, escaped between 12 and
I o'clock Sunday morning, and have not
been captured.
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.
The exit was made by rcroovipg
part of the sanitary arrangement of the
cell and lowering themselves into the
cess pool and air chamber underneath the

our uational Executive committee, national
legislative committee, uational judiciary
committee and President L. 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.

cb Therefore, this order, as such, or any o
of its brunches, has no light to take an
*sl partisan, political or sectarian religion
iy* notion. We urge upon the brothcrhooi
:rD of all reform organizations, and all goo<
ol citizens who believe, as wc do, that tli

ity mands is for the preservation of the frr

and our influence made effective
by voting for our demands at the

brotherhood in the North and the Great
Northwest, and assure them that our
hearts beat in unison with them in their

will stand by them in all laudable efforts

Does the Horning Qlory Entrap B?lt
A i;tty correspondent, O. A., writes to
tho agricultural editor to inquire if T
'have ever noticed that the hooey bee is
sometimes caught a prisoner iu tho lovely
morning glory and held there until released
by some hand nulling the closed
flower from the atem?1 Q. A. proceedsi
"I have observed it when iu the country,
but the statement hns hocu met with so
much doubt by a botanist that 1 now re
fer to you to settle the matter, and hope
vi..,t j** ?.ni favor with a raply." .
With regard to the inorning glory r y
regret that 1 am not able to dutinitely
confirm the observation. It is probable
that during very warm sunny mornings
the flowers might crumple up with suthcient
rapidity to entrap bees that had
pushed themselves very far down into ths
tube in the attempt to reach tho nectar?
inaccessible, I should think, to an insect
with so short a tongue as the honey be*.
Tho latter, as well as various other in.sects,
are, however, occasionally taken
prisoners in such flowers as close up at
night or upon the approach of a storm.
The crocus, for instance, frequently folds
its perianth over its winged visitors, and
in early spring the captured insect often
perishes over night with cold or from the
exhalations of the flower,
The capture of iosects by plants,either
by apparent design or inadvertence, affords
a most interesting subject for observation.?St.
