The London Times says that "beyol 'doubt the death of 112 persons who were lost with the Oneida (American), to pe ascribed to the negligence of the Captain of the Bombay (Eybe, Efiglwh), andUhat throngh him a stigma has been fixed the humanity of British seamen.

THE Chicago Btpublimn states thiit

only

three of the newspapers of Illinois have taken position against the adoption

•of the new

Constitution, and two of them

base their opposition

the ground that

it recognizes the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United 8tates This general unity on the subject is a matter tor congratulation.

Last Friday twenty-eight Democrats voted for and seventeen against the abolition of the income tax, giving a, majority of eleven Democrats against this tax on the incomes of the rich! Of the Republicans twenty voted for and one hundred and nine against its abolition giv« ing a Republican majority of eighty-nine in favor of continuing

that ever was levied. V*

Tkfe Philadelphia Inquirer expresses the popular feeling when it regrets that the Senate, temporarily at least, has placed itself on the record against the abolition of that incubus of our Postajl pyntem—the Franking privilege.

In this matter the Representatives acted in afar more worthy and self-sacrificing inanner. It ill-becomes the grave Sena tors to be outdone in patriotic generosity by the more popular and less stable branch of the National Legislature and they owe it to themselves to reconsider their ill-advised opposition to the House in the abrogation pf„the Franking privilege. as» wf jfefie* 1

The choice of United States Senator "from New Hampshire will be decided this coming week by a Republican caucus. "-A well-informed correspondent of the "New York Tribune says the primary candidates are Hon. A. II. Cbagin (the present Senator), Hon. E. H. Rollins, Hon.

A. F, Stevehs (now member of Congress from the Second District), Hon. M. W Tappan, and Qen. GiiMAN Mamto^ (just appointed Governor of Idaho). Th$ secondaries, any one- of whom may bi taken as a comprise, are Hon. ^4 Chandler, ex-Qov. Walter

chances are probably the best on tEe first ""ballot. The two-term rule applies to nearly every other office, but has never been recognized as applying to the Sen atorship.

DtT&fHO the present week Hon. D. Wj CVoorhees will

make

speeches at several

different points in this Congressional district.—Journal. And this M. C. who leaves his post of duty at a time when the most important measures of the session are pending this Member who leaves the great interests of his 230,000 constituents unprotected, to look after his own concerns and explain his votes on railroad land-grants thi® Member who does this when every hour of his time is paid for out of the public purse is a. pretty individual to rail at "Radical mismanagement!" Were this the first, or second or third offence of the kind, we woiild not complain but when a Representative of one of the most important districts in the State falls into a confirmed habit of shirking his duties, and instead of attending to the grave matters entrusted to him, takes the time that belongs to the people and for which the people pay, and devotes that time to speech-making tours of the district, we are bound to protest against it as an outrage upon his constituents and a gross violation of his contract. It may be said that, his party being in the minority, his vote cannot be of any practical importance. But if his party, in the Houbc, is weak, there is the more need of his presence.

O I E E AN

It was a beam noon amoni was going t^8T# 'Br^eni and rviUej^ong'acSarroW path wl®h Iif-to fte^^ouBtaineide. A poor old man, with thin, snow White hair, was sitting by the wayside. He had a long, brown staff, cut from a black thorn, between his knees. I sat down by him asking his name and way of life, and the old man told me that he had formerly been a forest-keeper there was no rock which could be climbed, and no ravine, 4t*da«xt war and over e~ored, "An4 do you see," he said, those fir-treesup tlusre? I pi Every day *hen

Went to the diountain,

I carried my game-bag full of earth up with me, and there inthecw»iees, where the rockp gaveme the least chance I fixed it firmly. and*then I waited till ihe grass and briers grew out of it and made the earth cling closer to the rocks then I carried the little saplings up and planted them. My Fabian, my elaest, who was long in the army, and at last was killed by a falling tree, often helped me about it. If you can come up you can see the trees., I can't see them very well now. "And with whom do you live now?" I asked. "With whom? with wflom?" repeated the old man, gazing at me. "With nobody. I have nobody left in the world. Yes, I have one son left he may be in the world, but I don't know.v

(s:

"And what do you live on?" "I have my pension, twenty four thulers a year but everything is so dear now." "But dosen't your son write to you, or send you anything?" "He never learned to write, and one can only send when he has anything himself. But he's the beat fellow in_ the world, a good child, a faithful child. He left me his whole property. But I didn't touch it it's just as it was. I'm no spendthrift. No, Henry, your father won't rob you ®f your money."

With many digressions, I heard the following story: It might be about eighteen years before, perhapslonger, for the old man was very uncertain in his figures—"thirty years ago," he said of everything which might have taken place only two or three years before—the" youngest son of the keeper had been tempted to emigrate to America, the country where, as the old man expressed himself, there were great forests which had never seen an axe, to be cleared away before the settlers. The son had an inheritance from his mother, amounting to a hundred thalers. The old man would not hear of anything bnt Henry taking his money with him it belonged to hinij and he did not know how much he might need the spare cash over there in the strange land. His son had to consent. But on Saturday, before his departure, he went to take leave of the pastor, and got him to write down for him the number of the psalm which was to be sung next morning at church. In the night he bade his father good-bye, and his last words were—"Father, when you sing the psalm to-morrow in church, think kindly of me."

In the night the old man, who was now alone, got up several times it seemed to him that he heard his son moving in the sitting room, but no one was there. He had certainly forgotten something, thought the old man, and now his spirit is coming to. find it and take it away, The old man is not free from superstition, and it would certainly be no kindness to convent him. On the window-sill— where rosemary and pinks were bloom ing, a bunch of which the wanderer had Stuck in his hat—lay the old man's hymn book, wrapped up, as his wife had always kept it, in a piece of white cotton: on this cotton the moonlight, shining down from the mountains, played strangely, and the old man laid his hand on it, as it gave him something to grasp. At last he went back to bed.

In the morning, when the bells were ringing, the old man went to ctytrch with

his hymn-book under his arm: he did not take it out of the cover till he. wais in church, then looked-at the number of the psalm which was hung up, and began to turn over the leaves slowly with his moistened finger. But suddenly he cried out, so that every one in church started, and his exclamation sounded above the prelude on the ogan "Henry what have you done?" There lay the hundred thaler note of the wanderer—and it was his whole property—there it lay between the-kaves. "Henry put it there, and that's the reason he said yesterday: "Father, when you sing the psalm tomorrow, think kindly of me." The old man could not join in the first verse but the second he began as is if he had the voice of his youth again.

As' they came out of the church all were talking of the goodness and faithfulness of the wanderer to his father.— The old man said not a word he only

Eis

ressed the hymn-book so firmly under arm that it hurt him, but this he scarcely noticed. "I have the money still. I haven't touched it, and it still lies in the same place where he put it." So said the old man, and I had to go to the village with him and into his little house. There lay the hymn-book on the window sill, wrapped in a white cotton cloth. The old man took the book out, and, to be sure, at the psalm numbered 184, lay the hundred thaler note. "Why haven't you put it out at interest?" I asked.

The old man laughed, and replied at last: "That's what all the people say, everybody one's just as wise as another they only think of one thing. But I will not." "You have the best interest from the money you feed yourself on the good thought that your son is so excellent," answered. "There, there I" cried the old man, you are the first person who has understood it. You must certainly have enjoyed much kindness from people, because you understand so well. You're hot stupid— I saw that directly."

The Washington cot respondent of the Philadelphia Press states that several members of the Ways and Means Com mittee are decidedly in favor of the aboltion of the practice of paying to those giving information of violations of the revenue laws a percentage of the amount recovered by the Government on account of fines or forfeitures. It is held that this practice leads to frequent false charges agaiiist merchants, which cost the Government» considerable amount to investigate, and which subject business men to much unnecessary trouble in establishing their innocenoe. In his last report the Secretary of the Treasury, in referring to the djrstam of moieties to revenue officers, expressed his disapproval of it, and favored, instead higher rates of salaries. Mr. Scm&tcK,»in the debate in the House on the internal enue tax bill, stated authoritatively that it was the intention of his committee to wipe out the system of spies and inform era, asd it isqnite probable that a bill will be introduced within a few days

The old man was quite happy to find a man shrewd as himself. And when I asked why he left the book there so openly, whether he was not afraid that S9me one might break a pane of glass and steal it, as might easily be dope, he answered. smiling—and the smile lighted his whithered face wonderfnllv— "No oae wtfuld do that. The people hereabout know what is in it, and anv of them would rather cut off his hand than steal the book. But do you mean those who don't know? People don't steal hymn-books this guards it better than bolts and bars."

The old man went bade with me a part of the way to the place vh/tre I had first met him. Then we batje eadth othpr a friendly good-bye.

When I was in the Hartz Mountains again last year, I did not find the old man in his place—he lay under the sod. But his'hymn-book, with the money, is in the pastor's keeping, and in a public advertisement the son is summoned to receive it, otherwise both wilt faU to the nearest relation.

of the railway depots of

Moscow, of the body of one M. de Zohn, formerly a rich Frowh merchant, and at last ai Rwian ndolemMi, who hadbeen inveigled to certain house in the city of the Osara, and there, aT }hl! highiv of a wild revel, slain and cbt td mmntw behest of a wqnde named'Afraia. ^p(»*'nnn"arte8t ol girl, with l^ a)||ntejAe not only vaunted the crime she had directed, bht firecely declared that the mutilated remains were those of her father, and she had caused the muider ia fillfillment of a vow which she had made In infancy to' her mother, who had been betrayed, and then left to die *f *aat «nd-misery byM. de Zohn in his younger days. ..

By late journals It appears that the trial has begun in St. Petersburg, and further details of tbei tragedy have been developed. After the unsuspaXing apbleman hod been brought into the house,and was rendered unsteady hy deep drinking, he was deliberately robbed of all the money and jewelry upon his person. In answer to his protests and threats of complaint to the police, he was told that the robbery had been merely a quizzical joke to try his nerves, and that he must drink again in honor of the excellence of such wit. The girl Afraia presented him with a glass of wine in which cyanide of potassium had been dissolved, and no soon er had he drank half the deadly draught than he feii backward, gasping, upon the divan which he had been fitting, with the cry, "Woman, you have poisoned me!"

With eyes on fire with hereditary hatred, Afraia bent over him in his agony, and told him that she was his child, and that his death was the penalty of having wronged her poor mother! While yet the wretched man glared at her, in ghastly discredit of such frightful retribution, one of her ma* 'line accomplices passed a leather strap about his neck, dragging him to the floor, while another beat out his brains with a bar of iron. The disfigured body was then cut into pieces, placed in a trunk, and the latter sent to the railway station at Moscow, where its timely discovery by the police led to the detection and arrest of the murderers.

Princess Lectnress.

From the Chicago Republican-] There is now a live princess in New York, Princess Editba, said to be the daughter of Lola Montez and ex-King Leopold. She is as royally decended as half the princes and princesses of Europe. Sheapeared before an audience the other evening introduced by Mrs.-Gady Stanton, and lectured on the social ixmdition of woman. She thus evinced a disposition to earn her bread in the way Which Mrs. Cady Stanton, Miss Susan Anthony, and Miss Annie Dickinson earn theirs—bv public leeturiuK. Yet there was not much enthusiasm in her behalf, and one fellow interrupted her by asking inforinafion as to her paternity. It is creditable to the audience that the miscreant wag obliged to leave the hall, and Princess Editha was permitted to proceed with her lecture. The Princess wilt have a Hard time of it to gain an honest- penny. Women of that stamp are not the most successful, and if, as in her case, there is a chance for slander, even though it be of the dead, sue will feel the effects' of it at every step of her progress. Unless she has figured in some divorce suit, like MrsJ Yelverton, er has caused somebody to be shot she may not hope to make much money unless, indeed, she has the commanding eloquence of Mss Anna Dickinson, or wields a powerful literary pen. She cannot hope to create a sensation on the" accident of heir birth. There are ao many such accidents that thev cease to be sensational. Although she is a princess of the blood of ex-King Leopoldjshe wiil botattract half the admiration that will be showered upon prince Pierre Napoleon when he comes to this country, because he is not only a prince of the blood, -but also a bloody prince.

In a campaign of scarcely three weeks duration they have met the strongest combination in the interest of High Prices ever known in the West, routed their combined forces, and completely Broken up their organization.

Where now the boasted arrogance that was to drive then ftota die field in thirty days? Already they have ground as fine as powder the big profit system of Terra Haute compelled high prices to bite the dust, and reUave4 the people from the payment, of extortionate rales.

Should we retire from the field to-day, Dry Goods would at a bound go back to the same high prices asked before we opened. All the people know that they have us to thank for every dollars worth of Goods sold cheap in high priced Stores. It was our Sim that smashed the prices, and this is why the people are so nobly standing by us. They are coming from as far away as Indianapolis, and the whole country for miles a^l'miles around are taking a deep interest in the conflict. Every day the mcrchat^ofjurrounding towns and ^ities beg of us to give them goods at wholesale asr

Cheap as we do the people at retail.

Lama Lace Shawls, fine quality, $8,50 and $9,00. The Finest Grades equally cheap proportionately. Splendid quality Waterproof 90 cents, worth $1,40. Balmoral Skirts 60 cents, Hoop Skirts 40 cents, very cheap Carpets 30 cents, yard wide and good quality. j.v"

Old Stocks are dear, were bought when gold was high, are shelf-worn, faded and out of style, and compared with new, fresh goods, are almost worthless.
