Bearing, northwest corner Third and Jefferson streets. FT. LOUlS—Union News Company, Union Indianapolis disgraced itself ttt a very thorough manner by the attention paid to the eminent slugger and bruiser from Boston, Mr. John 1.. Sullivan. The St. Louis Republican voices the general judgment when it regrets that this is the last week of the canvass in Massachusetts, which, it says, is “as good as a circus.” Tub Houston (Tex.) Post regards General B. F. Butler as ‘‘a holy terror.” He will certainly be one to the Democratic party should he succeed in securing a re-election as Governor of Massachusetts. There seems to be good foundation for the report that Hon. Carl Schurz i3 soon to retire from the editorship of the New York Evening Post. It is understood he will retire to private life, beingin quite poor health. The sensational accounts of 500 armed negroes rising in insurrection should be taken cum grano saiis. It is strange that so large a band of insurgents can instantly disappear into thin air, and that is what these armed negroes seem to have done. All hai! to Illinois! Another city—Tackson ville —is seeking to enjoin the Jesse James performance. Its effects are evil from beginning to end. It should be forbidden every•wliere, as should also such a spectacle as that by the “slugger” combination now on the road. It is a sorry comment on human nature that the Malley boys have grown rich since their trial for the murder of Jennie Cramer, and her mother has been reduced to abject poverty. Mrs. Cramer has just, been set out of a house because she could not pay the rent. ________ At a murder trial at Joliet, 111., the ghastly head of the murdered man was produced in court, to show the nature of the wound and to prove that It could not have been self-inflicted. This is the age of realism. Probably the next thing will be to have the murder rehearsed in a tableau vivant. It is a very slow town that does not now turn up with a Mary Churchill. Anderson, this State, is the last one to report the missing girl. By way, inasmuch as Mary Churchill's family seems to be perfectly well satisfied with the present state of affairs, is there any particular necessity for the entire country to set up o’ nights?

The noble red nuin seems lo have lost some of his old-time integrity. Time was when he would have punctiliously kept an engagement to have himself flayed or burned at the stake. But with other innovations the red man has experienced a change of heart. Crow Ilog, the murderer of Spotted Tail, and sentenced to be hanged in January, was recently permitted to visit Dead wood on parole of honor. He took occasion to fly, and has not since been seen. Some Indians are very much like some white men. We regard the Chicago Tribune as one of the chiefest of our converts. It has been instant from the announcement of the recent civil-rights decision in insisting that the negroes had all the rights in the world they could want, and that tiie blessed common law afforded them all needed protection and relief in case they were denied. But it has reconsidered its opinion, and in a lengthy article, yesterday, says: “The colored people, suddenly advanced to citizenship, but poor, ignorant, and with the natural timidity and depression which come from hundreds of years of bondage, needed some advantages, some protection beyond those extended to the independent Celto Saxon. There was no danger of the latter being imposed upon, but there was danger of the former being denied privileges because, and only because, of theircolor. To provide against this the law known as the civil-rights bill was passed. It having been decided now that authority for such a law is wanting in the constitution, it may well bo questioned whether the time lias not come for conferring such authority by an additional amendment. It would surely he only in harmony with our great bill of rights to declare in our fundamental act that ail men jhall be equal before the law.” That is good, solid, substantial Republican ground. Another correspondent, this time Mr. Jap Ttirpen, has been to New York and Greystone, and lias had an interview with Mr. Tilden. The report spreads over four columns of the News. A careful reading gives the following remarks from the Sage: ‘ Would you like to walk to the piazza?" and, *'lf you like cattle, I want to show you some Jerseys.” These are absolutely ail the words quoted os coming from Mr. Tilden, but the letter says: “I walked out of the door and ’own the steps feeling that I had never be-

fore met so remarkable a man.” We should now have another lecture on the interview in journalism. But, as a matter of fact, this letter of Mr. Turpen's contains about as much of Mr. Tildeti as do any of the stock, interviews which every now and then break out THE PREVALENCE OF DIVORCE. Against thegrantingof divorce the Vatican has fulminated from time immemorial, the Protestant pulpit has inveighed against it, and the press during these later years lias been practically unanimous in condemning it as prejudicial to the welfare of society and the stability of our institutions. Between the ecclesiastical authority of the Roman Church, which recognizes no sufficient ground for marital divorcement, and the laxity of some of our State laws, that put no boundary about this tiling, there ought to be, and doubtless is, some point where all can meet and join in working the needed reform. While the inflexible rule of the Vatican is vastly superior to the unobstructed traffic in divorces, it is generally conceded that there should be some .offenses for which the party sinned against may obtain divorce. Human endurance has its limits, beyond which human laws are not disposed to force anybody. The evil of unbounded grounds for divorce is apparent to all. It seems to be growing, and the reverence for the marriage relation appears to be waning. The ultimate danger is evident, and to avert this is the desire of every citizen who loves good order and who believes in the sanctity of home. The foundation of home in all Christianized and civilized countries is marriage. An adequate appreciation of the solemnity of such an arrangement, and the sacredness of the pledges made and received, is absolutely essential to the preservation of the ship of husband and wife. It would seem that if there be any sense of honor among men it should find its highest development here. The man and woman who marry take upon themselves the most sacred obligations and duties. In any other transaction the man of honor and the woman of character would scorn to seek to escape the consequences of their self-sought and voluntary agreement. Os all contracts made for time that of marriage is most sacred. It is of graver importance, and the forerunner of more serious conseauences than any other that can be entered into. Man and woman, the two great agent3 appointed of God to do a certain work, mutually pledge themselves to jointly undertake it. Either alone is helpless. Together, the will of the Creator is made possible. Marriage is evidently of divine origin, and, as such, must command a most solemn reverence. It is more than a civil contract. Its results are immortal, and its influence for good or evil is unbounded. It is time tliat mankind lay aside all false delicacy and look at this matter as it stands in truth. Marriage means more than sensuality, more than physical comfort, more even than a home. The house is but the conservatory of marriage and its legitimate results. If the law of nature be not dishonored, husband and wife must be more than husband a: and wife. To mature the children born in honorable wedlock, more than to afford a refuge for the husband and wife, is the object of home. As the nursery for children, home is the citadel of the nation’s strength. As it is maintained inviolate, as its purpose is carried out, will the stability and purity of society at large be preserved. Here is the true school of moral 9. If personal purity be taught here, if love of truth be inculcated, and all the virtues be taught while the mind is yet pliant and susceptible, the good effects will be felt through all time. Our public or select schools may tench the sciences, may polish the intellect and develop the mental qualities of the rising generation, but nowhere except at home can tiie moral elements of youth be so well cultivated. Here, under the eye of the mother who bore them, they will grow in the graces symmetrically. All that is good will be encouraged, while the evil is repressed and corrected. Anything that comes in to disrupt and destroy the homes of a nation threatens the existence of all that is desirable and good. If we are to have a virtuous people, strong in body because clean in personal habits, they must come from clean homes —from parents mindful of their obligations to their children and to society. Home is the cradle of virtue. Fire nor flood can destroy it. Death and divorce are the only enemies that can enter and desolate. Tiie former can not be warded off. The latter may be checked and reduced to tiie minimum. It is a paradox tliat so many who are invincible in honor at every other point fail in their obligations so solemnly assumed at the marriage altar. In matters of money, in contracts that may be disastrous aud filled only at heavy pecuniary loss, if not actual bankruptcy, most men are honest and conscientious. It is to a degree humiliating to witness the facility with which man and woman pledge a life-long fidelity, and afterwards dishonor the contract a3 a matter of little moment. To say that there is not good ground in one of ten divorces now granted would, perhaps, be a conservative estimate. There should be but one generic reason for the severance of the marriage relation. Whatever destroys irretrievably the happiness of home or defeats the object of home may be made a reason for d'rorce. But even in such instances the procnrance of such a decree should be deferred to the uttermost. It were better were the principle established that vows so solemnly pledged could never in honor be broken. Let come what may, infidelity, dis-

sipation, the total bankruptcy of happiness in this world, it were a noble thing to still remain loyal to one’s sacred honor. Some such sentiment must be generally inculcated so as to make legal enactment effective, and then the law should be drawn in conformance to the improved sentiment. It is shameful that this matter has gone so far in disgrace. Too many have dishonored themselves and brought shame upon others. The husband or wife who has been disappointed, deceived, bur.: or outraged should be slow to seek legal redress. The law can never bring bairn to him or to her who is to blame, and one or both are culpable in every instance. The growing evil of wholesale divorce must be checked, and to do this the reform must begin with those who marry. Men and women should be slow to enter the married state, but, once in, should be honorable enough to abide by the consequences, cheerfully discharging every duty and charitably ignoring those things which are unpleasant if not positively disagreeable. If personal honor be forgotten in so grave a matter there is little hope of integrity elsewhere. Tiie Democracy are having trouble in New York with their liquor allies. The head of the State ticket is a pronounced Prohibitionist, wherefore tne saloon men are “boycotting” him with a vengeance that threatens to defeat him. Because of this the New York World reads the saloon men the riot act, and says: “Can the liquor-dealers believe that such men [the. Democratic leaders] will not resent the intolerance which makes apolitical crusade against an upright candidate because of his individual opinion just as much as they condemn the intolerance which seeks to enforce prohibition and confiscation against a particular business? Do they suppose that they can themselves be illiberal and overbearing with immunity while claiming protection against illiberal and arbitrary acts on the part of others? Are they so blind not to see that their unwarranted attempt to crush Judge Maynard will cause a dangerous reaction against their cause? Swindlers and cranks are still abroad in the land. The latest dodge is for some old gentleman to travel over the State pretending to buy sheep, and to obtain the signatures of the heaviest tax-payers of the State to petitions asking the Legislature to reduce salaries and taxation, and to tax church property the same as other property. There are many suspicious circumstances connected with this kind of business, and we would warn farmers and everybody else to be carGful what they sign. This is an old dodge of the criminal classes to swindle people, and especially farmers, whose signatures are, in manycases, turned into signatures to promissory notes. These may be transferred to innocent purchasers and sued on and collected any time within ten years.

The Charleston News and Courier informs tho Indianapolis Journal that—“A stringent civil-rights bill was enacted in tiiis State in 18G9, and is still on thesiatute book. It is as thorough-going legislation as tiie act which the Supreme Court has decided to he unconstitutional.” Will our esteemed contemporary extend the kind office of its enlightenment a little further, and teil us whether this “stringent” law was passed £}ce South Carolina again passed under “a white man's government” by virtueof Ellenton massacres,andalsc^giveus tiie particulars of any convictions and recoveries by colored men under its provisions? Those persons who nave been aocusiomed to walk into an artist's studio, ask him the price of a “gem,” aud. if satistled, hand over to him the required amount of money, will be pained to learn that they have behaved in a coarse, unfeeling manner. They had not reflected that, being au artist, he is consequently more sensitive than ordinary mortals, and must be approached on the gross question of money In a deiiuato and diplomatic manner. There Is an etiquette about it which is thus laid down hy an art publication, whloh may be considered authority: “It is not usual to ask an artist the price of hia picture at sight. If a visitor sees a painting whioli be wishes to possess, he asks, simply, Uiat he may have the refusal of It, or says to tue artist: ‘I wish to have this picture, if it is not disposed of.’ After leaving the studio the visitor writes and asks the price, of which lie is informed by the artist in waiting. Should the price be larger than the would-be purchaser is disposed to give he writes to that effect, and it Is no breach of etiquette to add that so much, naming a certain sum, Is all he proposes to spend at present. This gives an opportunity to the artist of lowering Ills price. It is not usual, however, to haggle about tbe sum, and the correspondence should not be oarried further than this, unless it he an intimation from the artist that he will accept the couuier proposal of the buyer, and that the picture awaita his further instructions.” Mu. GuitHßK, of Reading, Pa., has brought suit for damages against a party of practical jokers, whom lie had hitherto numbered among his best friends. Mr. Gerber reoeived notice that he was to receive a handsome present from his old home In another town, and mentioned the fact to tho friends referred to. When he went homo to dinner nextuay a box. left by an expressman, was there awaiting him. He at once proceeded to open it, Mrs. Gerber looking eagerly on during the operation. When he raised thecovera live rat jumped out and ran into Mrs. G -rber’a lap and over her shoulders, throwing that lady Into convulsions. Bhe is = till seriously ill. and her husband is resolved that the senders of tho rats —seven dead ones were also in the box— shall at least pay the doctor’s bills. Tile juke doesn't seem half so funny to the perpetrators as they had anticipated. A New York paper announces that it Is becoming the fashion tor brides to wear no gloves during tlie marriage ceremony, because of a growing feeling that it is more reverential to approach the altar with bore hands. A liaokwoods Kentucky couple appeared before the preaoher the other day in costumes similar to those worn by Adam and Eve before the fail weather set In. There Is such a thing as being too reverential, and then some people do exaggerate tbe styles so. Incrkdimlr stories ate in circulation to the effect that the suburbs of Pails, notably near Port Maillot and Neuilly, are In a state of terror on account of desperate brigands that swoop down at night on tiie residences, plunder them, and conceal themselves in the Boisde Boulogne. The police have had several encounters with the marauders, doting which shots have been un-

chanced in a lively manner. In one of the flghte threo of the baudits were woundod and thirty captured. Matthew Arnold has apologized to Henry i Ward Boecher for lia\iug alluded to hiru as a ' ‘•heated barbarian” in one of hia books. r llio question naturally arises wnat sort of a barbarian does be think Mr. Beecher is, anyway! Signor Campan im has temporarily settled the New York operatic controversy, so far as he is concerned, by exhibiting to tbe rival managers a toe so sore that it disables him from singing anywhere.

Mr. Wii.de suffered the chagrin in Liverpool, recently, of seeing half his audience walk out before his lecture was half over. Henry Wattkkson used to sing in a country choir twenty years ago, and once took a part in “Esther, the Beautiful Queen,” for the benefit ot a Louisville lottery. Truth says that the late Dr. Begg, the leader of the Puritanical seotion of the Scottish people, has left his ramily £BO,OOO, the fruit of successful stock gambling. Edward McClintock, who owned threefourths of the presimtsite of Denver, a few years ago, disposed of it for a pair of French calf boots, a pound of plug tobacco and a burro. A Connecticut woman has written to the Emperor of Brazil and asked him if he won't please emancipate the slaves of that country. If Dom Pedro be a courteous gentleman, how can he refuse such a request! A curious Incident of Mr. Gladstone’s recent visit to the Orkneys was that while all the shops save one in Kirkwall were closed in his honor, he and his party liberally patronized that one, the keeper of watch was a “stern, unbending Tory.” There are at present one hundred and twenty newspapers in the United States of which the publishers, editors and chief contributors are negroes. The oldest of them is the Elevator, of San Francisca, which has alreody attained its eighteenth year. On state occasions the Emperor Dom Pedro wears a long cape made entirely of the breast feathers of a rare South Americau bird. These feathers are bright orange-colored, wonderfully fine and glossy, aud it takes the breasts of one hundred birds to make a capo. The dowager Duchess of Montrose is in trouble over the will of her husband, Stirling Crawford, the great sporting and betting man. She claims upward ot £IOO,OOO, while his relatives declaro that the poor man was too feeble to think or even to sign his will. The Vicar of Walzall, England, the Rev. R. Hodgsou, M. A., after profound researches, has reconciled science and religion by the remarkable discovery, which he recently announced in a public lecture, that pre-Adamite remains arc nothing more nor less than fossil angels. A good story is told of General Eckert in connection with the recent strike of the telegraph operators. He was appealed to by Gould, Sage, and others, as to wlmt policy to take In regard to informing the public as to the condition of affairs. “In an emergency always tell the truth,” said General Eckert. The London Times acoredlts America with a more genuiue love for literature thau England possesses. “The Americans,” ears this critic, “as a nation, are more active-iniuded than we, though they fall short of us in solidity and stamina. They are genuinely fond of literature, aud literary men arc, perhaps, more highly valued than here. Nothing literary is really popular in England, except fiction, gossip and sermons.” Queen Isabella, who lias spent much of her time and all her money in Paris, is furious with the reception given to her son, with whom she is now on excellent terms. She is about to dispose of her hotel in the Parc Monceau, aud shake the dust of Paris off her feet, a proceeding which all would regret, except her husband, who would thus be spared the formality of leaving his card once a year at her ex-Majesty's residence. Ismail Pasha is said to have offered a good rouud sum for the establishment. Postmaster-general Gresham’s offioe ia on the third floor ot the Postottice building. His desk is so placed that the big pier glass, between two windows, is directly behind his chair. He sits in a common cane-seated chair, and gives a visitor a seat at his side in a leather-covered. Turkish-cushioned chair, and all other furniture in the room is walnut, leather-covered. The floor is covered with plain matting. Iu writingsigning his name, simply, ali his correspondence being dictated to a secretary—Mr. Gresham uses a plain steel pen. A friend of Mrs. Howgafo says that from a once ptoud position in Washington society sue and her attractive daughter have been reduced to the necessity of seeking employment whereever it may be found iu order to gain a livelihood. Miss Howgate earns a small salary copying for some legal firms. Wben Howgate fl**d from the officers he took with him some $22,000 iu bonds, which his daughter owned in her own right, aud turned over to her erring father at home to aid him iu making good his escape from the clutches of the law. In Kuglaud an absurd fashion has set in of undervaluing pictures as ornaments for a room. Tho room itself, say the apostles of the new dispensation, must be a picture. Nothing hut decorative art is permissible. An art patron not long since got a well-known decorator to produce au ideal dining room. When it was finished he asked; “Wh. re shall Ij>ut my pictures!” The reply was: “Your pictures would spoil the room. You must build a gallery;” and the art decorator laughed scornfully when the poor householder pleaded: “But I bought my pictures to live with!” Fewer and fewer pictures are now hung on English walls. Allen G. Thurman ami his wife are in Washington. He looks very gray and feeble. He can hardly walk, he suffers so much from rheumatism. He bus been able to argue several cases in the Supremo Court. His wife, who is with him, ia his very opposite. She is small, get) tie-faced and quiet, as if her every ambition in this life had been satisfied. There is hardly a line in her peaceful face, shaded upon each side by a bit noli of handsome gray curls. Her look of content tells more thau words of fief enjoyment of private life. Mr. Thurmati says he has no future ambitions; but that is what all old men say when they are retired. Mr. Howard Kretschmer lias made, for tho Union Veteran Club, of Chicago, a clay model for a marble bust of General Sheridan, w'hich is said to be a capital likeness. The club had hard work to induce the General to sit for the sculptor, as he said he was tired of beiug caricatured, all previous attempt* of sculptors, and painters having been unsatisfactory- It is, Indeed, related that once Mrs. Sheridan boost me so thorI ougblv disgusted with portrait of her husband, painted by an ar ut not unknown to fame, 1 that she drove to the Oeueral’d headquarters

Mr. Anthony la the only senator in continuous service who answered to liis name on March 4, 1861, when'the Democratic party, owing to the secession of its Southern members, found themselves in the minority in the Senate chamber. There were present on the 4th of March, 1861, forty-eight senators, of whom the following among others, are numbered with the dead: Sumner and Wilson, of Massachusetts; Wade and Chase, of Ohio; Collamer and Foote, of Vermont; Kennedy and Pierce of Marylaud; Halo, of Now Hampshire; King and Harris, of New York; Douglass, of Illinois; Fessenden, of Maine; Johnson, of Tennessee; Baker, of Oregon; Powell, of Kentucky; Bayard of Delaware; Simmons, of Rhode Island; Thompson, of New Jersey; Grimes, of lowa, and Durkee, of Wisconsin. Many of the members of that Senate became disdistinguished. Henry Wilson was Vice-Presi-dent, Salmon P. Chase was chief Justice, and Andrew Johuson became President of the United States. A Washington paper quotes a Chicago tailor ns sayiug that General Sheridan lias the finest figure of any man he ever fitted. The Sheridan standard of a figure can hardly become a fash> humble one. Bheridan is barely five feet six inches in height, while he is nearly as broad as he is long. He has a round, bullet head, set down between his shoulders, without the slightest sigu of a neck. His body is long enough for a man six feet in height. This naturally leaves his legs a trifle short. He does not need, however, physical beauty to sustain Ills reputation. It was a strange chance that gave Sheridan his opportunity. A friendless Ohio boy, of ScotchIrish parentage, he had no influence, and secured an appointment to West Point through the chance favor of General Ritchey, member of Congress from Ohio. In the early part of the war Sheridan was a mere quartermaster in Missouri. Early in 1862 he was in Wisconsin buying horses for the United Stares. But soon after he got under range of Grant’s ej'e, and he gave him his opportunity, and opportunity was all Sheridan wanted. He did not marry until some time after the war. His wife is a daughter of tne recently retired Quartermaster-general Rucker. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. Tfik trouble with the fourteenth amendment is, that “individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject-matter of the amendment.” It is simply prohibitory upon the Btates, and does not apply to persons or corporations not municipal in their character. An amendment, .uure definitely expressed if necessary, would put au end to this vexed question aud complete the work begun by tbe Republican party twen-ty-two years ago.—Chicago Tribune. Wherever a merchant finds his competitors, there he redoubles his own efforts; wherever a politician sues a vigorous opponent ho sends a sturday henchman to counteract the undesirable influence. The Christian Church used to manage its missionary work according to the dictates of experience. If it allows the Mormons to have their own way in Europe, it will seem to have lost its common sense, or, worse still, its avowed spirit.— New York Herald. The public is hungry for sonic exhibition of moral uprightness aud moral determination from tiie parties to which they ate accustomed to look as the concrete expressions of their best aspirations. At heart the people love devotion to principle. They may punish such obduracy by defeat once, but they are very ant to reward irby and by, and time is all-powerful on the side of those, who glory in defeat for the sake of what they believe to be. true. In tbe dearth or sincerity and courage which has fallen upon our public life, the people turn elsewhere for their ideals; and they are not alone to bianmif they run astray after false gods of their own creation. Once or twice the heart of this nation has been stirred to its depths by an appeal in the name of sacred right, a pointing to the higher law. The people arc ready and over-eager for such an appeal to-day.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

political Notes, “Tnu Republican party of the nation,” Senator Frye, of Maine, says, “is in a much better condition to-day than it was nine months before Garfield's election. The trouble is. people forget. The Republican party will win in 1884.” Tub Cleveland Herald says that during the reunion of the Army of ihe Tennessee m that city last week a TecuiiiseU club was organized, w ith the avowed purpose of furthering General Sttermati’s nomination for the presidency b.v the Republicans. The Hon. John Quincy Adams said at the Reputdican meeting over which lie presided in Quincy, Mass., on Friday evening, that there is crow and crow, and he had not infrequently partaken of it, but tbe Butler crow was now a little too nauseous and hu could swallow that no tuore. Governor Benjamin F. Butler on the 10m of August last, wrote: "In reply lo your letter— Free trailMs Impossible without direct taxation, which tho country should not and will not adopt. You ask my definition of a proper tariff: A tariff to raise the money necessary to pay the public expenditures, and that tariff to he placed where it will best favor American enterprise and American industry—the protective tariff of Andrew Jackson." THE ISMS MU T GO. The Feeling of Ohio Republicans—A Prohibition Newspaper’s Treachery. Columbus Letter in Cleveland Ilerald. The meeting of the State Republican executive committees, aiid the very good feeling that generally prevailed, is a pretty sure indication that, although worsted in the preliminary struggle in the presidential campaign, tiie Republicans are not at ali despondent, but, on the contrary, believe that when national issues are involved they will overshadow the local ones which have for the past two years embarrassed the Republicans of this State. Asa gentleman remarked recently: "The Republican party is ail right when it reiurns to its principles as a political organization, and abandons for ali time holding communication with tiiis and that ism, which, during the past few years, have been sucking tne very life-blood front the party, ami betraying it to tiie Democrats.” Among the public men the general opinion prevails that the Republican party can no longer carry on a flirtation with thisclass, for since it departed from its former methods nothing short of disaster has overtaken it. It has been an expensive luxury in many instances, and it is probabie that nine out of ten of tbe thinking men of to-day will condemn any further affiliation with those who are ready to sell out to the Democrats. After having "received aid from'the Republicans one year ago, a little Prohibition organ was started in Columbus, audit was given out that it would support the Republican ticket. It was not discovered until about the close of the campaign that the sheet had also good words for the Democrats. In its last issue before the election the agent of this sheet went to the Republican committees, producing an editorial strongly advocating the election of Mr. Townsend, principally because of his temperance habits and his work in behalf of that cause. The committee, after considering the matter, came to the conclusion that it might be wise to circulate a large number of these papers, and an order for 5,000, if I mistake not, was given, and the paper mailed to every county in the State. Soon after the agent was discovered going into tiie Democratic headquarters at a late hour, where he presented that committee with an editorial, which he said lie intended to publish, urging the Prohibitionists to vote the Democratic ticket, as the Republicans had not acted in pood faith with them, and so tiie Democratic committee ordered 5,000, which were also sent to every county in the State. Imagine the surprise of the Republicans upon receiving, through an unknown source, one of these papers proclaiming for tho Democrats. It appears that two editorials were written, one favoring the Republicans, anti the other denouncing them. The 5,000 for the Republican committee were struck off bundled and shipped, anti then the Republican editorial taken from tiie form and that favoring tiie Democrats put in its place. It now appears that tiiis hand of sharks and confidence. operators have been making big

money for many years in operations of thidK character, and the question how asked is, ii it not about time to stop this juggling? Ant the unanimous answer seems to be, most em- B pkatically, yes. A PRESIDENT'S GRAVE. The East Resting-Place of William Hour. | Harrison—The Tomb Crumbling to Pieces. 1 North Bend Letter in Cleveland Leader. The marking of Jefferson’s grave hns called n attention here again to the neglect of Prosit dent William Henry Harrison’s tomb and North Bend, on the Ohio river, only a fevw n wiles outside the western limits of CincinT nati. The knoll on which it is situated is s'* sort of promontory terminating a line of hillsal that lie parallel with the Ohio river anqti stand apart from table-lands that risen fewi-, hundred feet back. It is a subterranean va lit] built of brick, the walls of which riseaanl n couple of feet above the ground and support a steep gable roof covered with The approach is a slant iron door covering,* steps to the vault, like those leading from a n< street sidewalk into a cellar. Natural forosiH trees and a few evergreens grow on tfcfeknoiFe which is unenclosed, in the midst of;a wo exit 5 pasture. The iron door is covered with rust ° tiie walls are moldy and the roof old. In if general appearance it exhibits every sugge *n tion that.betokens decay and dilapidation; ♦ Spiders weave their webs under tiie damp j eaves. Cattle pasture in the wide field wliicliff encloses tiiis neglected tomb. It was only a few years ago that the body of Hon. J. ScottU Harrison, son of General Harrison, and fath-ti er of Senator Harrison, of Indiana, was£ stolen from this same vault, and taken to a I medical college in Cincinnati, where it wae discovered by Senator Harrison. Efforts •] have been made in Ohio to raise means for-H a monument to General Harrison, “tbe > hero of Tippecanoe,” but they have I always failed. Two of the early Governors \ of Ohio, Worthington and McArthur, lie' \ buried in humble graves within sight of each l other, near Chillicothe. It has not been • characteristic of Ohio to honor its illustrious dead with monuments. But here at North : Bend lies one of the nation’s dead in a neg- l lected, unmarked, dilapidated grave. Look- i ing up the river toward Cincinnati one see 9 1 every sign of comfort and thrift. Within a stone’s throw of the solitary tomb is the f new, shining little village of North Bend, V with its pretty cottages and beautiful blue- \ grass lawns, contrasting strangely and i strongly in their newness and brightness ! with the oldness and dilapidation of the i presidential tomb. William Henry Harrison, “Old Tip,” as people called him sixty and seventy years ago, was an Indian fighter, and in the war of 1812 a general. In peace he tended a little corn grist-mill near New Albany, Ind,, and afterward farmed at North Bend, where his body lies buried, and where lie lived in a veritable “log cubin’’ to tiie day of his death.

The Organized Appetite. Boston HoraMThe Democrats in Ohio begin to bethink themselves that “victory brings with it responsibility.” It truly does. Had it beeu otherwise, the Democrats might have regained power in the nation. It is when tested with the responsibilities of victory that they have shown themselves to be only “an organized appetite,” not a compact party, united by common opinions and interests.
