The Democrats are quarreling over the cauee of their defeats, and the house is now made the scene of very interesting catawauling. Give the party rope.

When the Republican state central committee issued the call for the conventions the place for holding the district convention of this the Eighth district was left blank. It has since been decided to hold the convention at Crawfordsville.

The Chicago Democrats who went to Washington to secure the conven tion have returned home and are not very complimentary in their remarks about the southern members of the committee. The "generals," "judges" and "majah's" partook freely of the Chicagoans' hospitality i. e. liquor, atid then voted for St. Louis where the people are slower, more given to reminiscences of the past, in which the southern Democracy finds the most enjoyment in life.

J. L. Meade, the chairman of the Copiah county, Mia3., Democracy, says there was a strong feeling that Mat thews ought not to come into power as sherifl of that county, and that this feeling was the mmI motive for his murder. Matthews was a bad man Meade says, and therefore he, Meade, cheerfully presided at the mass meeting, held subsequent to the murder, which passed resolutions approving the act of the assassin. The utter lack of a sense of justice prevents such men as Meade from realizing that the man who killed Matthews and the citizens who approved the deed, are bad

Mr. Abrarn Hewitt, the congress man, is a living example, so to speak for the frequent use of Democratic free traders in their arguments that a reduction of the tariff does not lower the wages of workingmen. It is now shown that following the reduction of the tariff of 1883, Mr. Hewitt, who is largely interested in irou manufacture reduced the wages of his pudlers from $4.10 per ton to $13 87 per ton. Mr, Hewitt in an attempted explanation of this charge said that his mills paid the same prices that governed "other works in our vicinity." But again it is shown that Mr. Hewitt was the first to reduce wages, and that the prices he now pays are lower than paid in any of "the other wo'rks in our vicinity."

The Gazette in opposing the proposed law excluding from the mails newspapers containing lottery advertisements says:

After a while, perhaps, congress will undertake to empower postmasters to forbid the use of the mails to papers unless the editorial opinions square with those of the local magnates who preside over the postoffices in the various towns of the country. Having taught the government the use of the postal notes, perhaps the American Express company could undertake to enlarge the spherS of its activity and develop a postal system. Thero is no especial reason why the government should monopolize the business of carrying small parcels containing printed or written matter. All that it does in this direction could be done by the American Express company and an army of office holders could be disbanded. This thing may come about, too, if the government undertakes to claim the right to open and read the matter It is paid for carrying.

We do not believe the Gazette is serious when it gives forth such reasoning as this. The Gazette certainly does not want to be considered as believing the people of this country who dictate and control all legislation would permit the passage of laws as ridiculous »s it suggests. The Gazette admits the viciousness of lotteries, else we might have as bad an opinion of its motives in opposing the law for excluding from the mails newspapers that contain lottery advertisements. It might with much inorc regard for fair treatment than the Gazette shows toward this bill be said th it our contemporary opposes the measure because it, alone, of all Terre Haute newspapers publishes lotJ,ery advertisements.

CHICAGO'S CAPTURE.

Mike McDonald's Description of the Visit to Washington.

Among the delegates sent on from Chicago to influence the national Democratic committee to hold the convention at Chicago was Mike McDonald, the gambler king and boss of the democratic party in that city. The following is from an interview with him on his return from Washington:

Michael Cassius McDonald beamed on his friends the day long. To a casual remark about the hard fight made by St. Louis he replied: "We wouldn't have wanted the convention if it had been an easy thing to get. There would have been no fun in that. The deal was set up for St. Louis from the time congress met. Then that MiasiBsippi River convention helped them and they expected to have things their own way. I guess they'll try and play a different hand against Chicago next time." "But Mike, who really b) ought the convention to Chicago." "I guess Little Phelps did it entirely from what he says. The Iroquois Club sent out circulars a year ago, you know, and that must have done it. Circulars, you know are big things. But honestly, those Iroquois fellows behaved first rate and I don't believe they hurt us much." •'You met a good many southern politicians "Yes, d—n 'em, they were pretty thick when the drinks were being set up. They beat the devil for lying. There was poor old Gen. Singleton working for weeks on the southern members and playing a dead card all the time. They told him, of course, they were for Chicago and that nothing more was necessary between gentlemen. Singleton believed them, and counted up twenty-six votes for us on the first ballot. The ten we didn't get were from the south. Nice sense of honor there must be among gentlemen down there. There was Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, the little Sheeny, He'd promised to vote for Chicago, but couldn't come, and gave hia proxy to a man named Blanchard. Blanchard was with us, but Jonas telegraphed him positively to vote for St. Louis." "Was there much ill-feeling over the result?" "I don't believe there was, though of course the boys from St. Louis were disappointod. I call 'em boys, but they were nearly all old men with gray hairs. At first some of them wanted to bet heavy on their town but I wouldn't let our boys take them up. I didn't intend to have it said that Mike McDonald had come to Washington heading a crowd of gamblers. But when tke committee was in session and the doors were locked we were ready for bets. Then we plucked them. I guess most of our fellows made enough out of their bets to pay all expenses."

How did the Chicago delegation impress Washington people?" "Splendidly. I tell you they were an elegant set, all dressed up and knowing what they were doing. Not one of our boys got full or made a misstep. But you ought to have seen the Majors, and Colonels, and Judges swarm about the refresment tables Those Southern gentlemen beat any thing I ever saw for getting drunk There were so many titles that they got to getting us mixed up and calling us 'Majah' and 'Jedge'. But we were private citizens, and wouldn'thave it."

Divorce in New England. New York Sun. According to the statistics given by a Boston lecturer, twenty thousand divorces have been granted in New England during the last twenty years.

In Massachusetts there i« now one divorce to fourteen marriages. Since 1860 the rate of divorces has increased 147 per cent, while the rate of marria ges has increased only four per cent In Vermont there is one divorce to 14 marriages, in Rhode Island one to twelve, in Connecticut one to eight.

These figures indicate that all civil contracts made iu New England marriage is the one most likely to be broken. It is not to be wondered therefore, that in those old communi ties marriages are contracted with greater caution than elsewhere in the country, and that the average age at wgich people

marry

is greater. When

the chances that the union will be broken up by legal methods are so many as one in eight, twelve or fourteen, men and women ought to be wary about making the contract.

It is true, however, that a very considerable if not a large proportion of the divorces are obtained by people who go to New England from other states for the express purpose of getting released from marriage bonds. There aro towns in Connecticut where the coming of a stranger to obtain a residence immediately suggests to the neighborhood the probability of a divorce in prospect. Lone women from a distance are regarded with peculiar interest on that account if they take lodgings for a lengthened period. The supposition is that they are waiting to take advantage of the accommodating divorce laws of the land of the Puritans.

Newport, the summer seatef fashion, has also become the home of a little colony of men and women who are after divorces in Rhode Island, where the courts grant them easily. And whatever his object in going there, a man might travel farjto find a more attractive place of residence than Newport, where there is gayety in summer, and where the winter is agreeable. The road to divorce is smooth and pleasant there.

Perhaps the thrifty inhabitants of New England hesitate to make their divorce laws strict, lest they shonld drive away colonists and carpet-bag-gers from other states who spend money among them while waiting for the law to nntie galling matrimonial bonds. The loose divorce laws attract strangers and help to make trade lively. Besides, they furnish business for the local lawyers.

Whatever the explanation for it, there can be no doubt that divorce in New England is free because public

opinioQ "wishes it so. The descendante ette expense.

of the Puritans do Jiot believe in the sanctity of marriage. They have got over all that. Marriage as a religions institution, as an inviolable sacrament, and as an indissoluble union, is uncompromisinsly upheld by the Roman Catholics of New England only. Baptist,Methodist and Congregational ministers seem to marry people whether they have been divorced or not, and thereby they tacitly sustain divorce. The Episcopalian clergymen may object to marrying the divorced, but they are not so consistent in that respect as the Catholic priests, who will never marry a man and a woman so long as either has a wife or a husband living, divorce or no divorce.

When the ministers and churches of New England follow the example of the Roman Catholics in that respect the divorce laws will probably be soon changed. But so long as they keep on permitting and assisting the divorced to get married they cannot logically assail the state laws as contrary to the law of the gospel.

,4 A BEERY BEGINNING.

1 Colonel Weds an Adventuress in a Saloon, and Both Get Intoxicated. Boston Special.

Colonel B. J. Fox, said to be a wealthy retired New Yorker of profligate habits, was married to-day in Fred Evans' lager beer saloon, No. 6 State street, to Hannah J. Siverett, an unknown adventuress. It is said that Fox retired some time ago with a fortune that yielded him $1,000 a week, but owing to his dissolute habits, his relatives persuaded him to allow them to invest his fortune, so that he could not get at the principal. Fox is quiet, undemonstrative, and a fine-looking man of 50. Yesterday he arrived in Boston, after several futile attempts to get here, and made Evans' saloon his headquarters, where, according to one account, he met the flashily dres3ed Hannah for the first time.

Some say,

"Ned Buntline's" Home. Buffalo Courier. The wildwood home of Colonel E. Z. C. Judson, better known as "Ned Buntline," in the Adirondacks, is one of the attractions of that famous re gion. The house, if it may be dignified by that name, is constructed of logs in the most primitive style, and contains but two rooms. It stands near Eagle lake, at the foot of Blue Mountain. As far back as 1836, "Ned Buntline" invaded the wilderness and built his little log cabin in the heart of the woods. At that time he was a slave to intemperance, and recognized the fact that his safety lay in flight from the busy hunats of men. He succeeded in clearing a little farm, and when the cabin attained the appearance of a home he presented it with a mistress in the form of a young and handsome wife. The furniture was of the simplest description, and the pair were dependent, upon their labor for the necessaries of life, but notwithstanding these drawbacks they lived happily, and "Ned Buntline" produced volume after volume of thrilling backwood stories.

The war of the rebellion called the author from his wildwood haunt, and he did not return until long and arduous service had elevated him to the rank of colonel. In the meantime his wile and only child died, and they were laid to rest near the cabin. Four cedar trees mark their lonely graves. "Ned Buntline" is now lecturing on temperance down among the Catskill mountains, and the Adirondack home has passed into the hands of strangers. It has many visitors each year, who look upon the graves beneath the cedars and try to imagine the sort of life the little family led. The thought of the brave wife who willingly abandoned home and friends to help her husband in his battle against his appetite is invariably a source of sadness.

One of the best Greek snholare in this country, during a recent lecture on the benefits of a classical education, stated that there does not exist a graduate of an American college who can properly affix the accents to a page of printed Greek.

Mrs. C. C. Conger, the young American artist who has made a name for herself in London as a portrait painter, has gone to Paris to study for the lyric stage. She has a fine mezzo-so-prano voice, and her friends are confident she will succeed.
