LETTERS TO JHE_EDITOR. B<l Water from the Water Works. STo the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Why is the water works water so roily at present? Simply because it is dirty. Does any one suppose for a moment that this water comes from up the river? Just go down to the water works, citizens, and see for yourselves whether there is or is not a pipe running into the dirty river, through which drinking water is pnmped into houses. The fact is. tnere is just as good a chance as ever there was for a first-rate water works company to be formed here to rater front Fall creek, or from some spot above our sewage. And scientifically constructed water Works would be a paying investment in Indianapolis. D - Not in Favor of the New Time. To the Editor of the India moolis Jonrnai: I do not agree with you that the city has done a good thing to “put back the hands of the clock.” You quote Professor John, but he is not a resident of this city; therefore, is not interested in the question. We are concerned about Indianapolis. You do not seem to comprehend that in a city like this a great many duties have to be performed and things done at or by the rising and setting of the sun. Almanacs have to be constantly consulted. The almanac says the sun or moon will rise or set at a certain time. We look at the city clock for that time, hut it does not give us that time; it is sixteen minutes wrong; in other words, the city clock is a moving falsehood, and Professor John may say what he pleases but it will not alter the fact. There existed no real necessity to alter the clock, but the county commissioners (of whose profound wisdom we have so many notable examples) thought otherwise, and hence all this trouble and confusion. I would suggest spr the guidance of strangers and others that a sign be put up on the clock tower with the words on it in large letters: “This clock is sixteen minutes slow.” J. Indianapolis, Xov. 20. [What special duties are to be performed by the rising and setting sun we do not know; and because Professor John does not happen to be a resident of Indianapolis, seems to be an insufficient reason to determine that he knows nothing.—Ed.

Insane Asylums. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journal; The question it often asketi, in what the approved methods of treating the insane in the asylums in England and Scotland conj&ts. Most of the asylums in those countries are 3n large, old buildings, originally constructed much like the asylums in this country; but in many of these great changes are baling made, by dividing up the long, dreary •corridors into apartments, tearing out partitions so as to admit light and air more freely, and practically dividing the patients into smaller companies; procuring attendants who will interest and keep employed such as are able for it, thus relieving the intense tedium and monotony of the life and turning the thoughts of the patients into more cheerful channels. All physical restraints have been abolished, temporary exclusion in a private room for a short time being used instead, in some very violent cases, and a large restriction put upon the use of narcotics and sedatives simply as a quieting remedy, outdoor air and exercise being substituted for such as are able for it. In very many instances all prison-like appearance is removed by taking away barred window’s, etc. Os course much additional labor is thrown upon officers and attendants, but as the asylums are built for the help of the patients, not for the comfort of the officers, and as there is no difficulty in procuring persons for these places, the first consideration in every case is what will most benefit the patients. In some of the larger asylums almost all the restraints have been removed except that of oversight by the officers and attendants with the happiest results, and all the domestic and other labor about the asylum is performed by the inmates. It is a remarkable fact that in this enlightened country, which was one of the first to adopt the ameliorations introduced by Pina!, in some of our asylums thay have fallen back into the use of all those instruments of torture which he abandoned. Who can imagine the intense torture of being strapped to a chair and forced to sit for hours in a constrained position, without the power of change, merely to relieve an attendant, so he can read and rest in indolence; or fasfened at night in a crib, in which the patient cannot turn to relieve the pain of being long in one position? What wonder ihat night is made hideous by the howls of such poor suffererers! During a visit at our State asylnra, near Indianapolis, the writer was rejoiced to find that Dr. Fletcher and his excellent wife have comprehended the situation, and thrown aside ali such instruments of torture, with the very best results not only upon the patients, but on the whole institution. They are also gradually introducing sources of employment and amusement, giving the patients more outdoor exercise and in every way endeavoring to relieve their suffering. The opening of a chapel, with appropriate Sabbath services for such as desire to attend, has been a source of great comfort to many of the inmates. It is greatly to be regretted that the State ever constructed so immense a pile of buildings together. If it had been broken up into three or four asylums and scattered over the State, it would have much more effectually accomplished the object in view-, and the State would do well yet to tear down a large proportion of tne buildings; but, if there must be an asylum for 1,500 persons, it is well to have ail the ameliorations which modern science suggests. We hope that our asylums will be divided into smaller buildings, in which more of a family character can be introduced, as has been done with best results in many new asylums. c. f. c. Richmond, Nov, 16, 1883. Leisure Notes at Odd Times. To the Editor the Indlanawms Jouruah Allen county has a small tempest on hand, but mostly kept as a sort of private growl among the faithful. Yet it has leaked out in a quiet way, and the prospect of the Democracy going into the campaign of 1884 in a worse condition, and more split up than even in 1883, is first-class. In 1883 an independent sheriff and one commissioner of the opposition were elected, and even the Democratic candidates who were elected were cut down from 1,000 to 1,500 each on the old majority tikhat party. Last year there was no defection amongst I mocrats either on the State or congressional tickets; but will such be the case next year? An active Democrat said to me, the other day, that the party had at last reached a point which would likely cause a split oh the State ticket hereafter, as well as in countv affairs. Another gentleman, whom I approached an hour later, was not inclined to talk, but at last said: “I feel humiliated, sold out, and by a man I hover thought would be a trimmer, or false to his friends; but this appointment • f Colerkk by Judge Eollurs knocks lire cold.”

“Why do you andyonr friends feel so keenly over the matter,” lasked? “Wlty should we not?” was his reply. “Do von not know that when we sent Zollars to the Legislature, and atterward elected him city attorney, and again boomed him for Congress,and still later for county attorney, that every victory won for him was in opposition to the Colericks, and each defeat he sustained was largely brought about by the Colerick faction?” “Then you think Zollars has gone back on his friends,” I asked, "in appointing Hon. Walpole G. Colerick to the position vacated bv Judge Morris? “Gone back on his friends, yes; but not only that, but gone back on himself, set up for a trimmer, until to-day not one of his old and stand-by friends in the city, either Democrat or Republican, indorses his course, outside of the Colerick faction.” “How do you account for his action?” I inquired. “Oh, he wants to go to Congress after Lowry, and thinks he can succeed by winning over the Colericks; but he has forgotton to consider how many of his old friends he will lose.” “How will this strike the Fleniing-Bell faction?” I asked. “Oh, its cream for Bell,” said my friend. “He could now safely count.on getting the support of many who heretofore stood by Judge Zollars, for one thing is certain, with all of Bell’s faults betrayal of his backing is not one of them.” I find the difficulties of the Allen county Democracy have been intensified rather than toned down since last year, and that the defection is of that character that but little interest will be taken in the next county convention by the dissatisfied Democrats, they having lost hope of reforming a party whose delegates in many cases, as is alleged, soli out at so much a head. The result will be that the ring will nominate its ticket without much trouble, except from a few country candidates who still imagine that fair dealings will be accorded them. On the question of the next Governor for our State, this oe un ty on the Democratic side is also badly dem'-slized. Some of the politicians are for Gray',' o. many of the rank and file say he is too small 10k - sion, and besides is not a genuine Democrat, only a sort of “half-breed.” These latter men are for Judge Tiirpie. Next is the division amongst the McDonald men and the friends of Hendricks, and while but little is said the feeling is quite bitter. In addition to this there is a strong element here in favor of Judge Thurman, of Ohio, as the next standard bearer for the Democracy in 1884. So, taking the political situation as a whole, the Allen county Democrats have about as much trouble on hand as a widow with a large family of little ones and no means of support. Mack.

ANNEXING IRELAND. A New Issue for the Democracy—A Celtic President and Cabinet, Cleveland Leader. Congressman Robinson was elected to Congress by the Democrats of Brooklvn, his claim being that he was an Irishman, the claim that all professional Irish office-seekers offer when they demand place. The principal business of this Irish crank, when in the House, was to rise lip semi-occasionally and amuse the members by giving the British lion’s tail a tremendous twist. Recently he delivered a speech in Brooklyn, in which he claimed that Ireland was once a part of the United States, just as much so as is Massachusetts, and that he favors a scheme to have the President of the United States negotiate with the British government for the purchase of that island and its reannexation to the United States! We quote from his speech. [Robinson’s speech was published in the Journal of last Thursday.] For the sake of a little amusement we will imagine that government, tired of the eternal Irish question, becomes willing to sell Ireland to the United States for the sum of $1,000,000,000! The Democratic party—the same party which annexed Texas in 1845, for the purpose of strengthening itself politically—should, at the demand of the Irish element of that party, insert anew issue in its national platform in the shape of a plank favoring the purchase of Ireland. The Republicans should oppose it. The Democrats should argue among themselves that the annexation of Ireland would give them a perpetual Democratic State, two perpetual Democratic Irish senators, thirtyeight perpetual Democratic representatives, about forty perpetual Democratic presidential electors—lreland has a larger population than New York—and thus, with the solid South the national government would be perpetually in the hands of the Democracy! What an alluring picture that would present to the half million of Democratic expectants for office and to the Southern Bourbons, anxious to have some great element to hffset the negroes! And, suppose that such a scheme should be voted on, and enough foolish Republicans should vote with the Democrats to carry the scheme through, resulting in $1,000,000,000 being added to our national debt, which will be used by the British government to reduce its own debt, and the Oregn Isle becomes a member of “a once glorious union.” What would be the result? The national government would become as completely Irish as the city government of Cleveland is to-day. The President would be John CTDonougliey, of Cork, Ireland; the vice-president John Kelly, of New York the constitution forbids that the Presidentand Vice-president should come from the same State. The members of the cabinet would read something as follows: Secretary of State, Michael McSnooth, of Dublin, Ireland; Secretary of the Treasury, Alex. Sullivan, of Chicago, but formerly of Canada; Secretary of War, O’Donovan Rossa, of New York, but formerly of Ireland; Secretary of the Navy. Michael O’Connough, of Tipperary, Ireland; Secretary of the Interior, Thomas O’RourKe, of Cincinnati, but formerly of Ireland; At-torney-general, the Hon. Martin A. Foran, of Cleveland, an Irisli-born citizen; Post-master-general, Sam Randall, of Philadelphia. There is no probability that the British government would ever consent to sell Ireland, but, should such a contingency occur, there is no doubt hut the Democracy, in obedience to the demand of its Irish masters, would favor the scheme and carry a presidential election on that issue, and in that case the President and cabinet would be composed of Irish, with one or two seats given as crumbs to natives. A New Recording Telephone. London Pall Mall Uazette. Mr. Arthur St. George has patented a ncr. telephone. Supplementary to the telephone itself is a contrivance which will, it is stated, not only record every description of conversation carried on through theinstrument, but will reproduce the words at any future time. A circular plate of glass is coated with collodion and made sensitive as a photographic plate. This is placed in a dark box, in which is a slit to admit a ray of light. In front of the glass is the telephone diaphragm, which, by its vibrations, opens and closes a small shutter, through which a beam of light is constantly passing and imprinting a dark line on the glass. Vibrations of the shutter causes the dark line to vary in thickness according to the tones of the voice. The glass plate revolves by clockwork, and the conversation, as it leaves the telephone, is recorded on the sensitive plate, the words spoken being fixed as is done in photography. The plate can be brought forward afterward, and when replaced in the machine arid connected with a distant telephone will, when Set in motion, give back the original conversation.

Two farmers in Georgia, we hope, will fill that aching void and rake in the shekels.

DISTINGUISHED DEAD. Charles William Siemens, Scientist, Engineer and Elecrrieian. London, Nov. 20. —Charles William Siemens, scientist, engineer and electrician, died to-day of rupture of the heart, aged sixtythree years. The deceased, ten days ago, fell; the physician ordered complete rest, and he was apparently recovering until yesterday, when he rapidly sank. The couneil of the Society of Arts postponed the opening of the meeting announced for to-mor-row, on account of the death of Mr. Siemens. The deceased was born in Leutlie, Hanover, in 1823. He was educated at Gottingen, and in 1843 went to London, In 1853 he established at Woolwich a factory for making telegraph instruments; about the same time he established a steel works at Landore, in W ales. He was the author of numerous inventions, of which the principal are a process of “anastatic printing;’’ a chrouometric governor for controlling the motion or astronomical instruments; a regenerator for recovering the heat emitted at the exhaust port of calorific engines; a water meter; (in connection with his brother Frederick) a regenerating gas furnace for the production of high quality steel, and a rotary furnace for making steel direct from the ore. He had been connected with telegraph enginsering since 1848, and was a voluminous writer on scientific subjects, He was aD.C. Lof Oxford, a member of the Royal Society, and a member of all the great technological and scientific bodies of England and Europe. A recent sketch of this remarkable family says: Tlie five eons of tlie lato Ferdinand Siemens, who lived to manhood, all attained great, celebrity, and were endowed with remarkable inventive gifts. Under the firm name of Siemens & Halske haa been founded a vast establishment for the application of electricity and magnetism id the industrial arts. Werner establisUed ' pneumatic dispateli system in Germany, also'me block signal system on railways. The three firms of Berlin, London and St. Petersburg are the common property the brothers, Werner, William and (lari. There are numerous branch establishments all over Europe, The London brother, William Siemens, is a joint inventor with Werner of the differental governor for steam engines and sole inventor of the double cylinder air pump, and also of a celebrated water meter in use in this country and Europe. His greatest invention, jointly with his brother Frederick, is the generative gas furnace. He planned and had hunt the wellknown cable steamer Faraday. Several Atlantic and other cables were manufactured at the great works ot Siemens Brothers, at Woolwich, and Car) Siemens laid the direct United States cable. He is not so much of an inventor, but has greatly aided his brothers in extending their inventions. He is at the head of the establishment in St. Petersburg, where is situated the Siemens’s large manufactory for telegraph apparatus. Obeidullail, the Famous Kurdisli Chieftain. London, Nov. 20. —Sheik Obeidullah, the Kurdish chief, haa died of cholera at Mecca.

Sheik Obeidullah, succeeding to the influence aud honors of his father, surpassed him in a reputation for sanctity, and could bring around him by the lifting of his finger many thousands of mounted spearsmen, as the belief in his enjoyment of the Divine favor was deeply seated. Previous to his captivity Sheik Obeidullah lived in almost royal state at his castle residence at Cherndina, maintaining about his person at his own expense over 5,000 retainers. Affecting the greatest simplicity in his own food and dress, he yet surrounded his little court with barbaric splendor, entertaining sumptuously friend and stranger alike that.came within his gates. A law-giver to his people, Sheik Obeidullah secured obedience to his edicts, one of which was specially directed against the introduction of wines and strong waters into any partof his domain, and bjr the strict impartiality with which he punished offenders. Justice, well suited to meet the rude understanding of his followers, was administered each day as the Sheiksutat the door of his dwelling to listen to complaints, redress grievances, and settle disputes. The Kurdish chief enjoyed the highest reputation for wisdom and integrity throughout the whole of Asia Minor. He sought to encourage agricultural pursuits among his own people, and to bring about a better feeling between the Kurds and Armenians. With this object in view he ever manifested the most friendly disposition toward the American missionaries and their converts living about Lake Van, and on more than one occasion inflicted severe punishment on Kurdish freebooters that visited Christian villages. His favorite form of punishment was crucifixion. He, it will be remembered, was the mighty chieftain of the Kurds who, in 1881, organized an army of his own relatives and dependents and invaded Persia. At first no remonstrance was offered by the Porte, and the Persian troops were quickly pnt to rout by the Kurdish hordes. Having gone as far as the City of Oroomiah, and laid waste a vast extent of Persian territory, Obeidullah leisurely retired to his own land again, only to begin preparations for a second expedition, with the avowed object of the conquest of Persia. At this juncture, however, the Porte was prevailed upon by Persia to interfere, and Obeidullah was invited by the Sultan to visit Constantinople, ostensibly for the purpose of conferring about the proposed raid. Once there, however, he was given to understand that he must-stay there, and, until his escape, he lived in Constantinople in great state, holding court, and exercising public influence not much inferior to that of the Sultan himself. The Sultan treated him witli the utmost consideration, and all the high dignitaries of the empire esteemed it a Erivilege to be admitted to his presence and e allowed to kiss his feet. Still the police kept close watch upon him, and it was only by a re.'/arkable piece of strategy that tie at last succeeded in escaping by way of Russia. By giving out that he would pass the whole of the long fast of Ramazan in meditation and prayer, in imitation of the example set by the Prophet, he secured his chamber against the entry of anyone who might have prematurely made known the fact of his flight. No one would dare, as he well knew, to break in upon a solitude devoted tosuch a sacred purpose, and he thus gained a clear start of all pursuit of over twentyseven days, much more than sufficient to place him in safety among his people. A jug of water and loaf were placed each night at the door of his chamber, and it only required for these to disappear regularly, as was easily managed through a devoted attendant, for those on guard to imagine that the Sheik was always safe within. It was only on the Sultan noticing his absence from the Mosque and subsequent levee at the palace that the messengers sent to bring Obeidullah to the imperial presence found that the bird had flown. Sheik Obeidullah was not to be classed with any ordinary freebooting chief of the Armenian highlands. He was of the type rather of Schamyl, the renowned Circassian hero, so long the terror of the Muscovite soldiery in the Caucasus, a warrior priest and wouldbe king. He was lord of a Vast extent of fertile Country south of Lake Van, the inhabitants of which are prosperous and intelligent, They Were fanatically devoted to him, both as a military and political leader, and also as a religious guide and prophet, for he stood at the head of the fatuous order of Nakhshibendee Dervishos. So tie was always able, to raise an army of many thousands of fierce, bigoted Kurds, accustomed to war, and ready to follow his standard wtierever he led. In the end, however, the fierce warrior

| made his submission to the Sultan and was I ordered to reside at Medina, iu Arabia, where s pension was allowed him. General Augustus C. Hodge. ! BrnniNUTON, la. Nov. 20.—General Augustus Dodge, formerly- United States Senator -ami minister to Spain for eight years, died in this city this afternoon, after an illness of i four days. He was seventy-two years of a~e. Augustus 0. Dodge was born in Ste. Gen- ; evieve. Mo., Jan. 2, 1812. In early life lie removed to lowa, and was a delegate in Con--1 gress from that Territory from 1841 to 1847: | he was presidential elector for the State ]of lowa in 1848, and a Senator i in Congress from that State j from 1848 to 1855. President Pierce, after the expiration of his term as senator, appointed him minister to Spain, whicli position lie held for a time and subsequently resigned. He was a delegate to tlie Chicago convention of 1843. and also to the Philadelphia “National Union Convention” of 1860, as well as the New York convention of 1808. EARLY DAYS OF MGR. CATEL, The Speed with Which He Ascended, aud How Rapidly He Came Down, Writer in Detroit Post and Tribune. Some years ago I chanced to be in St. Lenords-on-Sea, whicli is to the south of London. I sought and obtained board and lodging in the paternal home of Mgr. Capel. The family then consisted of five—the mother, two sons and two daughters. The father had been a coast guard, the mother kept lodgers, and was a clever woman, though quite illiterate. Joseph (Mgr. Capei) had served his time as a pupil-teacher and gained a certificate as a teacher in the Hammersmith training school. After that he became a Christian brother and taught in one or more of the Catholic brother .schools of London. At the time I had the honor of his acquaintance he was an ordained priest, and officiated now and again in the convent of the Holy Child Jesus, which was in the same street, opposite his mother’s house. His manners, I remember, were of the persuasive order, bland, and almost P- ;il fully polite. He was, indeed, very attractive, but if I may hazard the remark, he had not the t'-'d, could conceal art. He pursued his careti teacher in the Hammersmith training-school until his services were dispensed with. Not much more of him than this was known until the conversion of the Marquis of Bute. Then he became the rage of the day. The Marquis’ rent-roll was about £60.000 per annum, besides a large fortune accumulated during a long minority, so to speak. Mgr. Capel ascended the canonical and social ladder with incredible swiftness. He traveled all Europe with the Marquis as companion, und he returned to London the leading, if not the most distinguished, ecclesiastic of that large city. He had a most charming villa and grounds at Kensington, and it was the resort of the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Howard of Glossop and family, Marchioness of Lothian, and Talbot family, and indeed all the leading Catholics of London. He had a private chapel in his villa, the altar alone of which cost £I,OOO, and was blessed by Pius JX for his use. He was notattacbed to any church and had no congregation, yet he was"wealthy and he cared for his mother and sisters. A few years ago 1 read from both Scotch and English papers that Mgr. Capel’s villa and paintings were sold by auction; as well as I can. I shall quote what the Daily Telegraph, of London, said on that occasion: “Mgr. Capel’s villa and househotild furniture were yesterday brought to public auction; those beautiful grounds in which one might see Mgr. Capel surrounded by lords and ladies in aniingtqd discussion, are now desecrated by the common herd. Everything suggested disaster and misfortune. Even his dog that had {.been taught to growl so savagely for Bismarck and wag his tail so briskly for the Pope, was not forgotten, for,” said the Telegraph) “he wandered about deserted and forsaken at the last moment.” So ran the said article. A friend stepped in and bought the altar and sacred vessels. After that event no more has been heard of him. One thing was certain; there was no more conversions through his agency. I may add that these truths can be corroborated by application to the principal of the Hammersmith training school, or the Rev. John Foy, Catholic clergyman, St. Lenords-on-Sea, England. I hardly think i am too presumptuous if I say that his ostensible purpose in coming here is to make money. If I am wrong I beg his pardon.

A GHASTLY EXPERIMENT. An Agreeuieut in the Interest of Science—A Severed Head Winks. Paris Figaro. Dr, de la Pommerais was executed in June, 1864, for a murder of the Palmer type. On the night before his execution he was visited by Surgeon Velpeau, who, after a few preliminary remarks, informed him that he came in the interests of science, and that he hoped for Dr. de la Poranierais’s co-operation. "You know,” he said, “that one of the most interesting questions of physiology ts as to whether any ray of memory, reflection or real sensibility survives in the brain of a man after the fall of the iread.” At this point the condemned man looked somewhat startled, but professional instincts at once resumed their sway, and the two physicians calmly discussed and arranged the details of an experiment for the next morning. “When the knife falls,” said Velpeau, “I shall be standing at your side, and your head will at once pass from the executioner’s hands into mine. I will then cry distinctly into your ear: ‘Gouty de la Poiumerais, can you at this moment thrice lower the lid of your right eye, while the left remains open?’ ” The next day when the great surgeon reached the condemned cell, he found the condemned man practicing the sign agreed upon. A few minutes later the guillotine had done its work, the head was in Velpeau’s hands and the question put. Familiar as he was witli the most shocking and ghastly’ scenes, he was almost frozen with terror as he saw the right lid fall, while the other eye looked fixedly at him. “Again!” he cried frantically. The lids moved, but they did not part. It was all over. Prospective Speaker*’ Wive*. Washington Correal* *<!** nee Philadelphia Prm Mrs. Carlisle is a tall, blonde lady, of great dignity and courtesv of manner, and except in y’ears, in which Mrs. Robinson has tire advantage in point of youth, she is not unlike the wife of Massachusetts’s Governor-elect.

“A BULL ON THE PEOPLE.” Fiictu Showing that It !■< Pprfrt!y Safe to Trust the American I’eoplc. Now York Tribit or. It was that dark dav when mobs stopped the commerce of a continent on twenty thousand miles of railway. Half a million of workmen spent a week in forced or voluntary idleness; merchants waited for goods and cities for food; the United States, by courtesy of a foreign power, sent its heaviest mails through Canada; ten cities heard volleys of stiarp shot, and Pittsburg saw the mob and its torches destroy $8,000,000 wortli of property. There was panic on the Exchange; men who rarely show the white feather were selling wildly, and the graybacks of speculation were in their glory. While the storm raged a mail of nerve and coolness was buying stocks by the million. ' What are you a hull for?” asked a friend in amazement. “I am-a bull on the American people,” answered the buyer. “They must have law and order, transportation and trade and you may trust them to see what they need and to get it too.” It is said that he cleared some millions by his pluck and sense. New York Central sold at 89,!£, Lake Shore at 46)4. Michigan Central at 40}4, Lackawanna at 38!$. St. l’anl at 20. Northwest at 19, and Western Union at 60. The man who bought could not have sold at any lower price, for prices have never been as low at any time since that gloomy day; within a month he could have realized all tlie way from sll to $24 on every share then bought, and had he held 1,000 shares eacti of the stocks above named, then costing $313,750, within four years he would have realized a clear profit of $644,250. It pays to have faith in the country and faith in the American people. It pays not only in making investments, but in ail business and political calculations. There are times when securities are not good to buy, just as there are times when wheat or cotton or iron is not good to buy, but in the long run he who acts on tlie belief that the country is going to prosper will find it a good belief to have. Especially when things look gloomy, when the good sense or the conscience of the people seems dead, and when some form of popular folly or madness threatens destruction, he who has in him an unfaltering and abiding faith is sure to be called “lucky” before long. What lucky men those were, to be sure, who bought government six per cents at 83 in 1861, or government fives at 75 when war was raging; what lucky men who bought greenbacks at 35 cents on the 1864; what lucky men those who took four j.'w cents at 99 only about four years ago. Or ' something better than any luck to have fa.tu in the United States? It is the same in politics. The man who thinks that the average American citizen is going to make a fool of himself, or to prove a knave, will sit down in the ashes of his hones and lament his own folly. Five things the American people have done, any one of which ought to cure any man of the expectation that the nation will prove unworthy of its freedom. They have sustained the cause of loyalty and justice through a tremendous civil war. They have sustained the same cause through all the trials and difficulties of reconstruction, which wise foreigners thought a harder task than the suppression of rebellion. They have refused to pay the bonds in depreciated paper, and have made the nation's notes as good as gold. They have settled in peace and with honor acontested presidential election. They have beaten tlie Democratic party five times in succession, though it started witii a certainty of success each time. It is safe to say that a people capable of such things will find a way to protect their nonor and defend their interests, whenever either may be assailed. The party that trusts to tlie ignorance or wickedness of the people, and the speculators who reckon that the country is going to the dogs, have both been punished offer enough to know better.

A. T. STEWART’S BRIDE. How He Wooed and Won His Wife When He Was a Poor Yonng Man. New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch. About sixty years ago Cornelia Clinch was one of the prettiest girls in New York, She and her brother, who afterward became collector of the port, were the children of a ship-chandler, who was very rich, as wealth was reckoned in those days. He lived in a big house on Duane street, then one of the most fashionable parts of the city. Oid Clinch was a self-made man and thought every other man ought to be the architect of his own fortunes. So be frowned away every’ wealthy’ young fop who came to woo Cornelia, and sent her regularly to school to learn to be a sensible, useful woman. And his ideas were respected, for be had a terrible temper when he was crossed. There is still standing, near Stnyvesant Square, a little old-fashioned church known as St, Mark’s. In those days it was away out of the city in the green fields. But every Sunday old Clinch went up there with liis pretty daughter. One day young Stewart saw them. On his side it was clearly a case of love at first sight. He began attending church there regularly. Then he made Cornelia’s acquaintance, and, as lie was poor but industrious, the old man smiled upon him and invited him to call and take drinks with them. After a while Stewart asked Cornelia a very interesting question, and she, like a good girl, blushed and said: “Ye-e-s if papa says so.” Then Stewart interviewed old Clinch, and he said: “Want to marry Nellie, eii? Think she’s got a rich father, eh? And you’d like to come in for a share of his earnings, eh?” "No, sir; you needn’t leave her or me a cent. I’ll soon be richer than you anyway.” “You will, will you? Well, I like that. Go ahead and take her, then, and Heaven bless you both.” So the young folks, who were tremendously in love with each other, were married and went to live in a modest little cottage on Reade street, and were glad to be able to cover the floors with rag carpet. Old poeple who knew them there tell mo that they lived an almost ideally happy life. They studied each other’s happiness in all things, and consulted with each other about every detail of household or business affairs, and became “two souls with but a single thought” a good deal more completely than most couples nowadays. A Cull for Comstock. Chicago New Ik. Instead of making an ass of himself by conducting a crusude against the photographs of foreign paintings in New York, Anthony Comstock should come to Chicago and enter the campaign against the reckless exposure of piano legs in several of the most conspicuous fchow-windows in the city.
