Special Correspondence of the Express.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 7.—Joseph E. McDonald has gone to Washington with his beautiful wife to pass the winter season: Their headquarters will be at Willard's hotel where they will receive their friends with the cordiality that has made them loved by aho8t of acquaintances. Mr. McDonald is not what would be called in the common parlance of society, a lady's man, but this is not saying that he is not liked by the ladies or that he does not like them. I think he quite an impresser, which means genenerally a masher, for he succeeded in winning the affections of the most beautiful woman in America who js now his wife. This occurred but little more than a year ago, when, previous to that time for fifteen years, he*was a widower. It was often said, that McDonald had buried all his love with his first wife, who was the sweetheart of his school days, and would never marry again. But Washington life, while he was senator, showed him the absolute necessity of keeping open house occasionally, and to do that in a manner in keeping with the elegance of Washington society he had to have a wife to assist him. Mrs. Barnard was then in Washington and in the course of events she and Mr. McDonald met, and as the story goes, fell in love with each other. Then they got married, and after his term as senator had expired, came to Indiana to Jlive. Their home is on North Pennsylvania street in a homelike brick house that sets well back in a yard that has a variety of shrubbery, beautiful walks, fiower-beds, a fountain and several pieces of statuary. A more pleasant place to spend the evening is nowhere to be found in this city. Mr. McDonald is a good conversationalist upon a wide range of subjects that is sure to be agreeable tQ every gentleman present as well, as to be entertaining to the ladies. Mrs. McDonald is a- queenly person with a beautiful face and winning manners. Her welcome to her guests makes one happy for the evening and then her vivacious, charming talk is enough to turn a correspondent's head. Frank McDonald, the bright son of the ex-senator, is a rare genius. The person that passes an eveniug in company with him will never forget him or the occasion. He is an Artemus Ward and can tell more rich, funny stories in a single night than any man living. If you should ever meet the younger McDonald have him tell you the story of the Stuttering Man. nis sparkling wit and affable manner will great'y pleaso you.
"PRESIDENT M'DOXALD."
There has been a great deal of talk about McDonald being the next president, but until lately it has simply been talk. Last week, however, a conference of several leading Democrats of the north and west met at Chicago to discuss the availability of several prominent Democrats for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1SS4. Talmer, Morrison and Trumbull of Illinois, Field of California, and several other leading Democrats were considered, but it was concluded that McDonald was the man for the times and the man for whom they would work to secure the nomination. Several states were represented in the caucus and its action is of much importance. It is a proposition showing that he is being considered in every portion of the country, and that nis nomination for president is very probable. There will be no opposition to him by the Democrats in Indiana, as Hendricks is no longer to be considered a candidate for any office. His course as a leader is run, and I know there is no one more preferable to him as his successor than Joseph E. McDonald. If Hendricks is well enough he will present the name of MuDonald to the next Democratic na tional convention. I take it for granted that McDonald will be the next Democratic nominee for president, not. to say anything about his election. But should he become the next president his cabinet would doubtless contain some of the following persons: Secretray of state, Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana secretary of the treasury, August Belmont, of New York secretary of war, W. S. Rosecrans, of California postmaster general, John B. Gordon, of Georgia attorney general, E. W. Yilas, of Wisconsiu secretary of the navy, Eaton, of Connecticut secretary of the interior, Breckenridge, of Arkansas.
This would be a cabinet of strong men from different sections, and one satisfactory to the country. Hendricks, his friend, he would want at his near side Belmont, the rich banker and sound currency man with sensible views on the tariff, would be to his liking for the treasury. The appointment of Belmont would be recognizing the Germans, too, something that McDonald knows there's millions in. "Old Rosy," from California, would be the representative of the Union soldiers, and John B. Gordon, of Georgia, would be a positive recognition of the "other fellows." This would be carrying out the Democratic idea of being a friend "of the soldiers of the late war." Vilas, of Wisconsin, the great lawver of his state, is only excelled in eloquence by Big Bob, the infidel. Eaton, of* Connecticut, is a Yankee Democrat, with th^cunning of Martin Van Buren.and is a man of hard horse sense, as is proven by his record as Lrnited States
senator. Th&great asktobe repjresei and Breckenridge, of please every Democrat in that" section. What a fhiatqnr
I prophesy that if McDonald ever stands in need of a presidential cabi net tie will'consult this list, and to convince you. of this, dear reader,,please cut this out and paste it in your hat. It may be the means of you getting the real worth of your hat between now.and March, 1885.

The "kickers," or bolting. Republicans of Greencastle, are opposing Postmaster Langsdale for re-appointment, but the Republican county central committee and the city committee and city officers, besides about 900 citizens there, are supporting them. Langsdale is one of the most valuable Republicans in Indiana.
Miss Venus had a proper regard for the modesty of Indianapolitans and kept herself concealed all day yesterday. There is always a fine constellation of Venuses to be seen at' the Zoo each evening between 9 and 12 o'clock, and without smoked glass either. They are kept in the green-room.
Sheriff Adams will retire from office Saturday night at midnight and Iiess will take hold at once. Lemon the contestant of Hess for the place is losing his grip in the contest and it begins to appear to the Democrats that he has no cause to of contest. Adams will go into the contract business with John A Whitsit a brother of Reprej sentative Whitsit.
If James B. Patten, of Sullivan, does not want to enter the race for the speakership, then Charles T. Atken, also of Sullivan county^ should come forward as a candidate. He made a host of friends during the last session of the legislature, and his fearless, manly course in regard to the submission of the amendments would be to his advantage in the contest. He is a gentleman of ability and dignity, and would rank high as an efficient speaker. -If the Terre Haute Democrat man doesn't like Akin and_Patten, he should try running for circuit judge once.

How Jim Woods, the Firateof the Gulf, Kscapes Punishment. New Orleans Picayune.
The case of Jim Woods, the "Pirate of the Gulf," who attempted the murder of the two lighthouse keepers, Dunn and Beach, of the ship Shoal Light, in February last, is attracting more than ordinary attention among the United States government officials connected with the department of justice, from the fact that there is no section in tho Revised Statutes which can reach him for punishment for his terrible crime and were it not for the fact that he had previously stolen a sailboat belonging to this very lighthouse, he would have gone "scotfree." The lawyers call this a "casus omissus," or "a case unprovided for," but the authorities will try Woods upon the charge of larceny in stealing the boat, the penalty for which, on conviction, is five years in the penitentiary.
The following is a brief history of Jim Woods and his crime: Early in in February last, Woods, who is a sailor, deserted from an English vessel while she was in this port, and, crossing the river, started along the Morgan railroad track in the direction of Morgan City, having for his companion a boy named Billy, whom he had prevailed upon to desert at. the same time. Woods and Billy had not proceded far when they met a lad about 14 years of age, whose mother resided at Terrebonne, He had a little money with him, and, paving ran away.from home, gladly joined Woods and Billy upon the invitation of the former.
In course of time the trio arrived at Morgan City and started upon the west bank of Berwick's Raw, where Woods stole the boat that belonged to the ship Shoal Light, and entering it. with the boys started in the direction of the gulf. Bv some means, whether fair or toul, was never fully known, Woods got rid of both'the boys and sailed out Atchafalya Bay into the Gulf of Mexico, heading in the direction of Southwest Pass.
When six or eight miles from the Ship Shoal Light, Keeper E. M. Dunn and assistant keeper Leach lighted the boat, and by the aid of a glass were of the opinion that it belonged to that light-house. Woads being becalmed, the two keepers entered a row-boat and overhauled the pirate, bringing him and the sail-boat to the lighthouse.
That night while assistant Leach was at the top fixing the light, Woods,

The Ostriches Shipped to California. New York Sun.
Dr. Protheroe carried an armful of long stockings into the deer httt at Central park yesterday morning, and began blindfolding the twen-ty-two ostriches. He Beized one after another by the hecks and dexterously slipped the stockings over their heads. When they were blinded they kept up "a sort of nervous dance: Ostriches are said to imagine themselves invisible when they cannot see. The, birds which were yesterday pulled and shoved about while blindfolded must have been disabused of this fancy.
When all were blinded* Dr. Protheroe and Mr. Sketckley,: the latter the manager of the ostrich* farm to be established in California, laid hold each of a wing of one bird. A third person shoved behind, and the.hird was forced out of the enclosure and up an inclined plane into a big van that was waiting. This process was repeated with each bird. The van was lined

How a Confederate Hero Suffered.
During the late war, says a writer in the Atlanta Constitution, there was a great scare in Athens,'Ga., oVer the threatened approach of Sherman's raiders. A day or two later the raiders'Reached Athens they came as prisoners, gallant Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge and his Kentuckians having captured them just before they swooped down" on the devoted town. That was a great day in Athens, and as Col. Breckinridge rodfe in at the head of his victorious regiment, with the prisoners in his train, he filled my idea of a conquering hero. I was then a youngster in Athens and remember that the ladies gave Breckinridge and his officers a grand dinner at which there was feasting and speaking—the gallant colonel being specially modest and backward.
I met Col. Breckenridge the other day and recalled the incident. ,"Yes," he replied laughing "that I think was the most terrible experience of my life."
I remarked that it seemed to be pleasant. "You can't remember how nervouB I was—how I sat down in the most unexpected way whenever anyone approacned me, now I positively declined to walk around lady that wanted to me to other ladies. I remember well how beautiful and enthusiastic she was. Her name was Sukey Dougherty, and she was the daughter of one of your most distinguished men.

I had only one pair of breeches, and no tailor in the regiment. An army saddle is very wearing. And—to be brief, I l*d the most obvious reasons for presenting only my front to the fair company that gave us that day the best dinner of the war."
Why Papa Weakened

"Bat papa "Not another word," said the person thus addressed—a tall, handsome man in whose deep-brown hair a tinge of gray was just beginning to Bhow. "You know,: my. child," he continued, "that nothing could give me more pain than refusing any wish of yours, and I am never so happy and free from care as when some act of mine has made your life, brighter. But this request I can not grant. A sealskin sacque with fur trimmings! By my halidom you jest bravely—1—"and turninghastilyaway, Duhstan Perkins stepped to the side board and took a drink.
For an instant Lillian stood in the conservatory, looking steadily down at the heavy velvet carpet in' which her shapely feet sunk deeply, but presently the spirit of desolate loneliness seemed to leave her, and going quietly into an adjoining room she began cutting pie.
In a few moments her father came into the apartment. "Perhaps I was rather harsh with you, Lillian," he be gan.
But the girl interrupted him. "Don' speak of it again, dear papa," she said "because I know that you really have no money to spare. While I was mending your overcoat, last evening I saw that note from 'Daisy,' and would not "You saw the note?" asks Mr. Per kins in hoarse, agonized tones. "Yes, papa but you know I never "How much will a sealskin sacque cost?" "Three hundred dollars," and as the girl spoke these words a baleful light shot ironi her eyes.

THE SUN has absolutely no purposes to serve, save the Information of its readers and the furtherance of tho common good..
Because its news columns present in attractive form and with the greatest possible accuracy whatever has interest for mankind the events, tho deeds and misdeeds, the wisdom,'the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid sense, the improving nonsense—the news of the business world at present revolving In space.
Because It is everybody's newspaper. No man Is so humble that THE SUN IS indifferent to his welfare and Iris rights. No man is so rich that It can allow Injustice to be done him. No man, no association of men, Is powerful enough to be exempt from the strict application of Its principles of rightand wrong.
Because in politics it has fought for a dozen years, without intermission, and sometimes almost alone among newspapers, the fight that has resulted In the recent overwhelming popular verdict against Robesonism and for honest government. No matter what party is In power, THE SUNstands, and will continue to stand liko a rock for the interests of the people against the ambition of bosses, the encroachments of monopolists, and the dishonest schemes of public robbers.
AU this Is what we are told almost dally by our friends. One.man holds that THESUN is the best religious newspaper published, because its Christianity is undiluted with cant. Another holds
that it is the best Republican newspaper rinted, because it has already whipped _.alf of the rascals out of the party, and Is proceeding against the other half with undiminished vigor. A third believes it to be the-best magazine of general literature in existence, because its readers miss nothing worthy of notice that is current in the world of thought. So everyfriend of THE SUN discovers ono of its many sides that appeals with particular force to his individual liking.
