Speaking of the Sedalia reunion of gray-coats, the Inter-Ocean remarks that "it shows how the old animosities are dying out when a club of Union veterans, who fought through the war, should turn out to escort the ex-con-federates who metatSedalia, Missouri, for a reunion. There was not a jar or discord in the.ceremonies."

Now that Red Cloud has been captured it seems that he charges all his waywardness to Woman's Dress, who who wants to be chief of the tribe. This is not our society column, but it may not be out of the way to remark here that woman's dress has been the cause of certain reckless behavior before the days of Red Cloud. Mr. Cloud should be treated under the circumstances, with sympathy and respect.

English methods in dealing with tho Fenian question are well illustrated in a recent London periodical. Here is the story as it comes fresh from the pen of a hireling scribbler for British interests: "It appears that a week or so ago two young men, one of whom is described as tall and fair, with curly hair, and the othor short and dark, and both believed to be Irish American, called at a shop In Farrlngrton-road, dircctly opposite the Clokenwell House of Correction, and asked a female lodger on tho second floor for permission to view the interior of the prison from her window, promising her amplo payment for hor favor. The lodger, who expected her husband home from work, refused, and referred the two lrion to"the lodger up stairs on the third floor, who, after some hesitation, acceded to the strangors' request. Both the men, it is stated, then opened the window and went out on the parapet, where they remained for quite hulf an hour, making, It is supposed, a sketch of the prison." Before leaving they thanlcod thfc woman, and oflVjred her some money as a reward for her courtesy, which, however, she refused to accept. The strangers then sent the children for some refreshments, and, giving each some money, departed. The suspicions of the landlady and others being aroused by tho peculiarity of the matter, the police were communicated with but notwithstnndlng'every effort, no e'.ue as to the whereabouts of tho strangers could be obtained. The police, having acquainted the goal officials with the matter, thought it prudent to send anumberof constables to watch outside the walls.of the prison, and put. on sonio plain clothes men in case of a repetition Of the visit.

There must be whole bushels of fun in living in a country where a fellow can't sketch a ramshackle old jail without being suspected of a plot to blow up the realm. .AVe feel authorized to state that the British Bureau of Statistics can tell how many times a Fenian winks in twenty-four hours.

THE IMPSIS0

Edmund Dwyer .Gi the Freeman's Jgiftnal, pRDnbp^whi haa just been thrown into jail for alleged contempt of court in his capacity as-a journalist, is quite a noted character! He is not yet forty and looks considerableyounger. His figure is Blightly above-tho mpdium lieight, slender, erect and graceful His face is almost boyish in:expression,' and the ladies think him decidedly handsome,'. He wears a brown mustache,and imperial, and liis-dark Jtiair is brushed back, in a carelcss j&choolboy fashion. His. father, Sir John Grey, was a- codefendent. with O'Connell, and was a stout partisan of Young Ireland. .He was, moreover, a benefactor.to his city and, to. Ireland, and led many impprtant reforms looking toward the .improvement of Dublin and of the condition of his countrymen. His marble, .statue, stands not two.hundred feet from the O'Connell memorial in .Sackville. street, which was.nnveiled the other day, and his services are remembered with pride and gratitude.* He was the editor and proprietor of the Freeman's Journal, a newspaper more tlian a century old, then as n.ow, the representative of.. Irish... thought and aspirations. This was the. legacy he left to his., fortunate: son, and the young.man's, car.eer began,,a$ romantically as it did prosperously. He was, while in his twenties, .spending a few. weeks at the Bray, the Irish Newport, only-a.fewr miles from Dublin, and one day a terrific gale, such as seem only, to sweep the jugged coast .of Ireland, drove a vessel, wrecked and, sinking, into the bay... Signals of..distress floated at her. mast-head,. mute appeals for help, but no life-boat was near, and. -no. ordinary boat could possibly survive the fearful sea, while the boldest heart quailed at the thought of swimming out there. Suddenly, while hundreds looked from, the hotel windows out at the halfdrowned figures clinging to the rigging of the sinking ship, and while hundreds more huddled along the beach in helpless groups, young Grey stepped out from among them- and volunteered to carry a line to the wreck. A few moments afterward, with a rope about his body, he plunged into the surf to almost certain .death, and in spite of all expostulation. Watched by the breathless crowd he slowly made his way, though frequently dashed back, and was frequently submerged so long that it was thought he would never appear again.'. Finally,, after a long, fierce, weary battle with the waveB, he reached the ship,, and one by one the rescued sailors were pulled ashore. Among those who witnessed this heroic act was a beautiful 'young girl, the daughter., of an English lady :oi immense wealth, Mrfi. Chisholm, whose assistance to Australian emigrant girls had made her name a household word in the colony. Miss Chisholm sought an introduction, and the young man was so smitten that he followed lier to England and finally, won ..her hand. The Royal Humane society: gave: the brave young fellow' the gold medal, their highest award, and the presentation was publicly made on their behalf by the. Lord Mayor of Dublin.

Succeeding to the conduct of the Freeman's Journal, the way but a step to municipal honors "and finally to Parliament. Mr. Grey represented County Tipperary for several years, and until the election of 1880, when, in consequence of his fetid with Mr. Parnell, he concluded not to contest that seat, but stood for County Carlow and was elected by a large majority. He was chosen to be Lord Mayor during 18S0, and his administration was marked by brilliant social entertainments, and by the philanthropic work of relief in behalf of the stricken Irish peasants. This year he was selected as high sheriff, partly as an honor and partly because he was distasteful to Air. Forster, who, according to tho law, has to confirm the appointment.

An extraordinary will case has just been adjusted in the London Chancery Court. Mrs. Ann Burdett, of Gilmorton,in Leicestershire, made her will in May, 1868, and thereby gave directions as to the devolution of her property, and by a codicil she directed her trustees immediately after her. funeral to cause the windows and doors of even' room'. of her dwelling-house to be bricked up in a good and substantial manner, with every article therein, including her clock, and to cause the same to be repaired and to continue, the bricking up for twenty years, and to place some respectable married couple in the occupation of the kitchen, at the nominal rent of id. a week, in consideration of their taking care of the premises, and particularly the blockade to the doors' and windows, and to see that the" same are not meddled with and she gave benefits to the trustees, which were to be taken from them if they did not keep up the blockade. By another codicil 6hc directed that the windows should be boarded up. and nailed with good, long nails, to be bent down on the inside, and then ctivercd up with 'sheet-iron and zinc. There was no ^effectual, devise of the property so directed to be: stored up. The will was disputed in the Probate Court, but probate bf thert'will was eventually granted., Those who supported the validity .of the devise quoted Pope's well-known- lines in which he says'" that a testator may "die and endow a college or a cat." Vice-Chancellor Bacon said that in this case the testatrix had endowed neither a college nor a cat and he directed the", trustees to unseal and release all this at present useless property. The directions in the will pro-

iding for the so-called blockade must be declared ineffectual, and the property must bedistributejS as'undTsposed ~of real and personal estate ..

preparing to start a movement for relief under the Pension law. This reminds the Chicago Journal of the old, politician who was a-'candidate' for an* "office", and whose oppoftefit claimed that he (the opponent) was entitled to preference because he had fought and: bled for his country in the Mexican warj.while the other had'not., "I too, suffered, bled and died for my country during the war," said the other "I point with pride to the banks of the Brazos, where lie bleaching the bones of the brave substitute I hired to take my place in the ranks. His Bufferings were mine—he died for me—I paid for him for doing it out of- my own pocket." Great is the patriot who fought for his country, by proxy.

There is no unnecessary red tape about doubling up in Delaware county, New York. Miss Lorch and Mr. Laiint met for the first time after night. They fell in love at first sight. There was a betrothal, and that same night the girl went home, entered the house at one of the windows,-and, unknown to her parents, secured her bridal costume—made in- anticipation of her marriage to another man—and walked to a distant town with her new Jover, and they were married before morning -at his home. *r

Some people suppose that, the giantess is a solemn old piece oj fat. They have one, howeTer, ever, at tho Alhambra Museum in London,"who adopts a novel dbvlce to kocp her flesh within the limits of the law.

The latest:novelty in London is- "Faith Heitflng." It appears that there is absolutely a homo established in this great metropolis for the purpose-of effecting curcs solely by the means.of faith. The spiritual physician is a doctor, but a doctor, of divinity, a clergyman ot the Church of England. In this institute a number of persons, who have-often been learnedly pronounced' incurable, havebeen restored by the agency of faith. No doubt the important factor in the cure has been the rescue of these patients from the scientific clutches of the regular doctors, but faith gets the credit all the same.

In a book on the violin, Just Issued in England, this fresh and amusing anecdote is given: An eminent violinist, at a concert given in honor of Berlioz, having played tho Reverie Caprice of that composer With much applause, said immediately afterward to Mendelssohn, who was near him: "I am glad I got through it. I never had such a task in my life. I have not the romotest idea what I have been playing, or what the piece can be about." At' the same moment, Berlioz was exclaiming, "Never have I had an artist who so completely caught my meaning, and so wonderfully interpreted it."

SCIENTIFIC SPLINTERS

The London Academy says-.that Arabi Bey had the value of the contents of the Boohik Museum appraised some time ago with a view of selling them to some European government. Recently, however, other matters have occupied his mind.

The influence of electric light on plants has been considered by the AbbeMoigno. On the whole, the effect is at least not favorable. The naked rays were found to be deleterious, but when the light was passed through glass globes it did not' seem-to cffect vegetation.' ri'

Caffeine in the kola nut(llieseed Of sterculia acuminata) has been found by Heckel. and Schlagdenhausen in a free state in larger proportion than the finest coffees. •The same hut also contatrisa considerable quantity of theobromine, and much glucose, as well as other constituents.

A "Catalogue of the Batrachla Sallentla S. Ecaudata" (frogs, toads, etc.), by G. A. Boulenger, has been published by the Britlsh'Museum. A notable increase in the known species has been made since 1858. in the catalogue of that, year 283. species were described, whereas 800 are mado known in the new one. The classification of Prof. Cope, of Philadelphia, Is adopted, with modifications.

The origin of saccharine matter in plants has been investigated byM. Pcrrey. Cane sngar is the result of direct elaboration^ tfce green colls, and glucose appear to be derived from the latter by .hydration, glucose never being found in the plant without saccharine. A reaction between saccharose and glucose (secondaryln the leaf, premary In the seed) produces starch. In germination,* starch is transformed into dextrine and glucose.

In normal nutrition, saccharose appears with an essential role. A remarkable relationship has been discovered by Dr. Bardt. Of Berlin, and independently by Patrick Geddes In England, to exist between certain low algre and some translucent marine animals. In the course of investigations on tho existence of chlorophyll In animals, became manifest that the 'yellow cells' of radiolarians, the 'lllver cells' of siphonophores, and -the 'pigment cells' of sea-anemone's, were, indeed, as before ascertained, of algold nature, but not truly parasitic. Mr. Geddes thinks, on the contrary, that If thero be any.-parasltlsm in the '^natter, it is by no means of the plant upon the animal, but of the animal upon the plant, and considers the relationship to be analogous to that between the fungus and alga in the case of lichens. He in factdesIgnates the associates in question as animal lichens. He contends that for a vegetable cell", no more ideal existence" can be imagined than that within-the body of an'animal cell of sufficient active vitality to manure It.with carbonic acid and nitrogen waste, yet of sufficient transparency to allow the. free entrance of the necessary light arid, conversely, for an animal ccll there .can be ho more Ideal existence than to contain a vegetable ccll, constantly removing Its waste products, supplying It with oxygon and starch and being digestible after death.' It Is urged that in this caso we have "tne relation of the animal and the vegetable- world reduced to-the simplest and cloSeit conceivable form,'" and that the iDtesociatlon "stands unique in physlology as the highest-development, not of paWksitism, but of the reciprocity between the animal and vegetable kingdoms." This relationship, it may be added, has been called "symbiosis." h-£::sntf

Diligent inquiry has.been instituted since the last correspondence from this place, in regard to the situation in every dounty in the district, and that inquiry unmistakably reveals the fact that this "acclamation boom" is bearing good fruit all over it. There are men at-the front to-day in every county, who, as -a rule years other than Presidential, have been passive. They are active now. This argues well. Mr. N. H. Jepron, of the State Central Committee, is leaving nothing undone to bring up all our -forces, and to put them where they will do the most good. The balance of the State may rest confidant that this district will be worked for all Republican good there is in it, and one Senatorial district, at least, will place in the Senate, a man who will vote to retire Mr. Voorhees, his "active sympathy for the soldiers" to the contrary, notwithstanding. 'You just for once ought to hear our vets "smile" about that "active sympathy" plank in tho Democratic platform. It is possible Mr. Voorhees himself has a humorous turn of mind when he reads it, if indeed he don't indulge in a few harmless "cuss" words ^bout his position on the tariff question having been left out. It is believed down here in the Second district, by men of all parties, that Mr. Voorhees had much rather more had been said about that position on the tariff question in the Democratic platform, and less about that "active symp*athy" business. "A Great.

Your correspondent had fully made up his mind not to waste any more ammunition on Hon. T. R. Cobb, but like Banquo's Ghost, he will rise in some shapo, or another. All over the district his ghosts arc rising up, but at best they are but feeble imitations of Mr. Cobb, and for the most part it were well they should "down,'' and stay down." The latest ghostly appearance is through the Bloomfield Democrat (and copied into the Democrat of this city), in what purports to, be an editorial reply to a correspondence from this'.piace, regarding Mr. Cobb's Knownothingism and his bolting a Democratic nomination. -It is perfectly safe to. say the assumed editorial reply in that paper was made at the instance of Mr. Cobb, and quite as safe, perhaps, to insist that Hon. J. H. 0'Neall,of this city, in that instance, if no .other, agreed to appear as Mr. C.'s ghost. Without making ono allusion to Mr. Cobb's Knownothing record, bis ghost goes back to "58, and verbosely diatribes to prove that Cobb was not a bolter, but declares: that, but for the "high water" and Mr. Hosteltler, Mr. Cobb would have beaten Hon. A. B. Carleton in the Democratic convention in that year. That may be. Let us hear from Hostetler on that point. If that was really the case, and Cobb had a show nt that Silyerville convention, it is the first instance on record of his failing to attend a convention of any kind where he had the shadow of a chance, "despite of h—1 and high water. But, be that as it may, Mr. Cobb's ghost "proves too much" in going back to the days of "Bleeding Kansas." A few quotations may be of interest. They raise a living issue, over the dead body of the Kan-sa8-Lecompton trouble, which tore the Democratic party in pieces in '58. The case is correctly stated in this presentation "Buchanan was President of tho United States. Kansas was knocking for admission Into the galaxy of States. A convention had been held at Lecompton and drafted a constltutiun for tne State. There were two angry elements then clamoring' for tBdsuprCiiiricy. One'wan ted a slave State, the other a free State. The slavery element .wanted to delegate the making of the constitution to chosen representatives. The free-State party wanted the question of slavery or anti-slavery submitted to a'direct vote of the -people,' Just as thefriend8 of prohibition are now clamoring for the submission of the prohibitory amendment."

The Governor of Kansas territory— a gentleman from Georgia—has prepared his inaugural, and when he went to Washington, submitted it to the President. "Mr. Buchanan thought it was not sufficiently strong on the submission of the constitution, and interlined: "The constitution shall be submitted to the people." It is asserted that in those davs, Mr. Cobb stood by that emphatic' declaration, as pure Democracy, "dictated- byMr. Buchanan." If so, it would appear that too much lias been proven. It is understood that upon the question of the'submission of the proposed constitu tional amendments at the

WASttiKOTON, Ind., Atigi 23.—At the State Senatorialr Cbnviention held at Odon, this county, 17th inst. though a delegate meeting, over one. hundred were in attendance, and there, never wias a better Republican Senatorial Convention held in this district. Col. A. G. Cavens, of Bloomfield, presided, and. Hotii Ehoch- Puller, a most acceptable man to Daviess, as well as to Greene, was put in nomination by acclamation. He was a private soldier,-. having entered the Union army at the age of sixteen years was twice wounoed in battle and has served creditably in the House of Representatives one term. Your correspondent has attended political conventions away back into, the paleozoic days, "whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," and of all shades, but has no recollection of one which united so earnestly in the acclaim for a candidate as did the one in question for Mr. Puller. By the way, speaking of "acclamation,"'it does seem as if that acclamation State Convention on the 9th ult., got up an "acclamation boom," which will reach well into the ides of November. It is perfectly safe 'to say the work on that day has given Repulicans hereabout an impetus never known of an "off .year," at this stage of the canvass.'..? '.m,: -fc. Sccond.District.

Moral Question."

At the convention at Odon, a speaker put the prohibition question in this terse light." "It is a great moral question. The Democracy have always said it was. When the temperance peoplo knocked at Democratic convention doOrs to have a temperance or prohibitory plank incorporated into their platforms, the answer lias alwaysbeen: ^^That is a great moral question." It has no place in politics, per se. This year the temperance people of all shades, the prohibitionists and all, have come up to—or got down, as you choose—to tne Democratic idea of a great moral question, and knocked once more for a plank in the platform, in keeping with this idea but the Democracy refused to assent, and say: "It is a question of politics and as such must be voted On at a general, and not a special election." It is not treating the temperance people fairly, who only ask that they may be allowed to cast their votes pro and con on this proposed amendment to the Constitution, as well as all others, untrammeled by party ties, or party affiliations of any kincl. The Democratic platform looks as if it were intended to "move the previous question," against all its former protestations, on this "grand moral question." "Like Banqno's Ghost."

By.a close inspection, it may be found that other Democratic politicians, just now, are having the hair dressed the wrong way.

A Little Joke.

Now, as our people at Indianapolis, on the 9th ult, were in such good, humor, and, as Parson Lozier used to express it, all felt "Bunkfer-Hillishy religious or, religiously Bunker-Hillish1'— pardon the further quotations from Mr. Cobb's ghost.

Yes, it is true. Mr. Cobb v:as raised in the classic boundry of what is known as.

FACTS

THAT ARE ESTABLISHED

BY TESTIMONY.

•*71 if

We wish to draw the attention of the reader to a few facts which we will afterwards confirm by the most unimpeachable testimony. First, it is a fact that in this everchanging climate wa are one and all exposed to sudden heat and cold,.bringing on chills, ooughs and colds, which in their turn produce Asthma, Bronchitis, Ulcerated Sore Throat or Consumption. It is a fact that Rheumatism is getting more prevalent every day, and has become chronic with many sufferers. It is a fact that Neuralgia renders the existence of many thonsands a life of martyrdom. It is a fact that Catarrh has horrors that no one can form any conception of, except those who suffer. It is a fact that Croup carries more children to the grave than any other infantile disease. It is a fact that we are all liable to accidents, and may get hurt or cut, burned, scalded or bruised, however careful we may be and it is a fact that we are at all times subject to organic derangements of a serious nature, which too often terminate fatally. These are facts which bear no dispute. But the next fact is one of serious importance to the public, for every one should know it. It is this, that

Thomas' Eclectric Oil

is a positive, reliable and certain cure for all the ailments enumerated, as well as for many others incident to the constitution, such as Stiff Joints, Swelled Neck, Sprains, Chapped Hands, Lame Back, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Chilblains, Frosted Feet, Pains in the Back or any part of the system. In fact, it is a remedy that stands paramount above all others. It is equally effective externally or internally, and all who have ever used it are never without it.

These are facts which are proved by the following testimony, which we challenge the world to contradict:

A Baptist Minister's Experience. I am a Baptist minister, and before 1 ever thought of bcine aclcryymnn, I graduated in medicine, out left a lucrative practice for my profession, forty years ago. I was for many years a sufferer from quinsy:—"Thomas' Kclectric Oil cured me." 1 was alpo troubled with hoarseness, and Thomas' Eclectric Oil always relieved me. lly wifo and child had diphtheria and "Thomas Eclectric Oil cured them," and if taken in time it will cure seven- times out of ten I amconfldest it is a cure for the most obstinate cold, and if any one will take a small teaspoon and half fill it with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon into the head by sniffing as liard.att they can, until the Oil falls into the throat, and practice that twice a week, I don't care how offensive their head may be, it will clean it out and cure their c.a-' tarrli. For deafness and earache it has done wonders to my certain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recommending, and I am very anxious to see it in every place, for I tell you that I would not be without it forany consideration. I am now suffering with a pain like rheumatism in my right limb, and nothing relieves ine like Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

To the proprietors of Thomas' Electric Oil: GENTS—Last March I took a severe cold, and, being negligent rn doctoring it, brought the Asthma on me very severe. I could not not lie down or sleep for wheezing and hliortness of breath. I took tliis thing and that, and tried different doctors, but found no relief. Six months ago I sawati advertisement In the papers recommending Dr. Thoma's Eclectric Oil, so I thought I would try that, and wonderful to relate, yet nevertheless true, the first dose I took relieved me in a few minutes,and before I had taken onefourth of a50-cent bottle I could breathe freely and sleep as well as ever. It Is equally as magical for cuts, bruises, burns and rheumatism. I woke up a few mornings since with such a pain in my chest, that I could not draw a long breath, My wife said, "rub on Thomas' Eclcctric Oil." I did so, and in a few minutes the pain was gone, andl have not felt it since. My wife, also, had a severe attack of rheumatism in the arm and side. She applied tho oil with the same result. I would not be without it if I had to walk ten miles for it, and then pay $5 for a 51) cent bottle. I send you tills testimonial hoping you will publish it, so that Suffering humanity limy be relieved of theiraches and-pains.
