Thh idea thai tho rlii rioter is a
fixed unalterable quan iy is lkoly to
bo for most of us an uneomfurablo
on And yet not a few people of em-
inence have hold it Cnrlylo was ono
of them He once said that ho was so
Germany with the amount of illiteracy
In this country Taking the cities ol
Borlin and New York as instances
because bath contain about tho same
population Dr Butler said that undci
tho rigidly onorond compulsory school
system of Berlin there were only four
tuen boy and ono girl who failed tc
CO t school in that city last year
whereas thore are in New York 10000
children annually growing up without
tho benefits of an education that will
enable them simply to read and write
Ho said further that the number of
illiterates in the United Slates In-
cludes onosixlb of the population
whereas in Prussia and Bavaria al-
most every person has received a fan
common school education
Any one who uses an atlas often ha
occasion to deplore the confusion ii
the spelling of place names Man
causes con rib ite to this lack of uni-
formity In tho uncivilized parts o
tho woi Id place names are at thf
mercy of every traveler Spake one
Stame introduced us to Uganda but
every Rhto man wlio has livod in thf
county says tno mime is properly
Buganda Such instances may be
multiplied by thousands The izreat
Cot confusion h s arisen from the fact
that truvelers bavo used a variety ol
systems of orthography to represent
tho sounds of place names Each na-
tion too has spelled foreign geo-
graphic names in accoidanco with the
orthographic rules of its own language
Indexed ntiasoa are a great conven-
ience but tho student is mucL por
ploxod trheu ho reads for instance of
tho important Russian city of Kief and
then looks for it vainly in his index
where as in some of the bost German
aliases iho namo appears as Kjew A
comparison of atlas indices clearly re-
veals the confusion of geographic
sjollings and the need for reform
Ir wasJiumorously but not unkind-
ly said or ditioguisbed man after

heart as could be mado out of a head
This muds it must be admitted a
good dcil iiko saying in regard to
moro uatonal products than human
nature as good slik as can bo
mado out of cotton or as good gold
as can bo mado ont of brass In
manufactured goods tho world has
cot used to thoso familiar substitu-
tions f cheaper for moro costly nia
Krlals bjt somehow or other it seems
to kck at iho id < ja of introducing tho

of the moro spiritual qualities of the

that the criticism made on the charac

It is creditable to the South that sc
much has been dona towards providing
tho means of education for tho col-
ored children Tho eigerness with
which many of them hnve profited
by it is an uvidenco that no obstacle
havo been thrown in tho way of ob-
taining at least tho rudiments of such
learning as common schools can im-
part and of occasionally rising tc
higher grades That there Is an ex-
ceedingly largo amount of illiteracy
existing in the Vjiiited States did no
need con Qrmatioa by the census Bn
that the states hare been derelict ir
providing free schools for their chil-
dren it would be unjust to assert
Tho b ilk of tho illiteracy lias origin-

Yestcr
the little
a farmer
living about a mile cast of the city
rode up lo her grandlnlher who was
at work In hi field about half a mile
fiom his son s house and throwing
her arms about tho old mans neck
cried out in anguish Mamma nnd
papa and my brothers have all been
murdered Not waiting to hear tho
i rest of the startling announcement
the old man left post haste for his
son s house A horrible sight mei his
gaze Ills son lay weltering In the
blood from an awful cut on the head
Incoherently mumbling out a few words
but unable to hear a word that was said
to him Mrs Smith was insensible
with a great ga h in the forehead
One of the little boy was insensible
and was terribly beaten and bruised
about the bead Another little fellow
was also cut and bruised about the
bead but after a little work rallied
and murmured out Sam did It
In a half connected sort of way ho said
a negro commenced heating his
mother and fho resisted Af soon as
noighbors could be > gathered in the
wounded people were properly cared
for and removed from iho room in
ovcry portion of which there were
evidences of a terriblo struggle
Blood was on the floor thewall the
bed tho stove nnd everywhere In
tho stove was found a bloodstained
bois dan bludgeon which was no
doubt what the little fellow the
only ono able to talk said wus a-
piece of iron In tho same stove was
found a lamp and it looks very much
as if tho fiend who did tho work
intended to burn the houso
and thus cover tho deed The horses
had all been cut loose in the stablo
lot The little girl who gave tho
alarm had spent the night at her
grandparentsor she would nave boon
added to the list of victims She had
just time to get homo and back to her
grandfathera when she arrived with
the terrible news Drs Wright and
Michael left at once for the scene and
began to givo the victims the medical
attention they had been without for
about fourteen hours The statement
of the little boy when still further re-
suscitated was that Sam Wynne alias
Massey did it and upon the state-
ment the negro was arrested by Sheriff
McAfee yesterday afternoon about 4
oclock at the houso of Jordan Sumner
colored for whom he has been work-
ing It is evident that the murderous
assault was made tor the purpose of
robbery Mrs Smith may not re-
cover
SliEitMAX Tex March 8 There
has not been in Sherman in many a
day such an excitement as that of yes-
terday and tho tragical affair at the
Smith farm house is on every tongue
Y esterdav morning Mrs Smith rallied
a little and at 4 pm she was worse
but at a later hour she seemed a little
better though she had not yet recov-
ered consciousness notwithstanding
the fact that it had been about forty
eight hours since tho assault occurred
One of the little boys had been grow-
ing worse all day and Mr Smith was
still prostrated Drs MlchcaL Wright
and Freeman said late yesterday after-
noon that while they did not apprehend
any Immediate likelihood of death that
they were very dangerous cases At
830 oclock last night when all of the
court plaza was lined and crowded
with men some one raised tho cry
On to Houston street and in ten
minutes the jail yard was swarming
with a wild and frenzied 2000 Some
ono battered away at the north door
of the prison and In a moment it was
opened and the crowd rushed in
Warden McKinney and Turnkey
McAfee told them that the prisoner
Sam Massey was not in jail but the
crowd refused to believe them and
demanded that the prison be thrown
open To this the officers of the
prison acquiesced and corridor after
corridor and cell after cell was care-
fully searched but nowhere from the
coupola to the dungeon below the
ground could tho negro bo found
and at last maddened and
infuriated the crowd withdrew
from the prison and began searching
ihe residence of tho officers About
this time Sheriff McVleo drove up to
the Kusk street gate and announced
that long ago the prisoner in charge
of deputies had been speeding on his
way to Dallas Deep disappointment
is everywhere expressed and while it
is generally believed the prisoner has
been spiriied away by the officers
there are doubts of his having been
taken to Dallas and squads are search-
ing high and low for some clew to his
whereabouts and it is believed that if
at any time between this hour and
daylight he is located 500 determined
men can be centralized in ten minutes
Shekman Tex March 4 The ex-
citement which reached fevor heat in
the Houston street prison Wednesday
night was scarcely abated yesterday
Early armed men began assembling
in Court plaza and the principal
thoroughfares There has all along
been a belief that the prisoner was
not taken to Dallas Wednesday night
A delegation of citizens again inspect-
ed the jail yesterday afternoon and
did not find any trace of him Later
on the cells at the alms house were
searched Tho movement is now as-
suming a tangible form of an organi-
zation and it appears that the deter-
mination to deal out summary punish-
ment is growing in intensity The
sheriffs action has been the subject of
much comment today pro and con
but there seems to belittle or no divis
ion of eentiment as to the movement
to transfer tho cause to the court of
Judge Lynch
Yesterday the wounded boy who
saw all of the assault upon his mother
was much bettor and very positively
identified the negro Sam Massey as
tho negro who did it Mrs Smith is
still unconscious and all the other vic-
tims are not materially changed from
yesterday
