and., and that he saw John C. Montsoinerv and Lee Pettus at the house of Mrs. Pettus during he afternoon, and within the hours the outrage is alleged to have been perpetrated. The first witness, this morning, was Lee Petrus. He went over about the same ground as i dementi, stating that he was at home all day; was in the wagon with Clemeuti part of the afternoon; John O. Montgomery was at the house for dinner and supper; he was no nearer the school-nouse that day than his mother’s house; he had nothing to do, directly or indirectly, with the outrage. He first saw Miss Bond that day when she came to his mother’s house at night and told them she had been outraged by two tramps who wore dark clothes and white shirts. The witness then described how they took Miss Bond home, her statement to her father, and how he, with Clementi and his mother, on the waj’ home passed several neighbors and told them about the matter. After reaching the house they went to the school-house, where quite a crowd had assembled. He told what the crowd did, and said Swick and Heinlein told him that Clementi aud Montgomery had confessed, and that if he |Pettusl knew anything he had better confess also. lie told him he did not know anything. He positively denied the truth of the convict Meyers’s testimony. The witness was cross-examined for an hour, bur the direct testimony was not broken. Mrs. John C. Montgomery was the next witness. She testified that on the day of the outrage she took dinner and supper with the Pettus family, and stated where her husband, Clementi and Lee Pettus were on that day and evening, corroborating the testimony of Clementi aud Pettus. Mrs. Montgomery continued her testimony at the afternoon session. She was very ciosely cross-examined regarding the whereabouts of Clementi and Pettus on the afternoon of the outrage, aud as to Miss Bond’s visit to the house, but her evidence was so closely identical with that of the other defendants that the prosecution failed to make auy points off her. Misses Ona Pettus and Minnie Pettus, sisters of Lee Pettus, were examined at length as to the whereabouts of Lee Pettus aud Clementi on the day of the outrage. Their testimony was similar to that of Mrs. Montgomery. Both stated that their brother and Clementi were at home all afternoon and evening, and described what they did during the various hours of the day. The court then adjourned till next Wednesday. So far the defense has produced some strong evidence in favor of an alibi, but the prosecution claim they have a witness who will overthrow it. A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. Miss Bond's positive identification of JohnC. Montgomery furnished all the incentive to a lynching that could have been desired, yet no one offered to take advantage of it. As the trial progressed It seemed to be a settled conviction in the public mind that all three of the defendants were guilty. The State made what was considered a strong case against them, and up to last night the defense hud not Introduced any evidence tending to weaken the State’s position. Yet there was a change in sentiment in favor of the defendants, even in the face of the admitted strong case of the State. This conclusion, of course, is reached ouly from the goneral conversation overheard on the streets and in the stores and hotels. At half a dozen points your correspondent heard it remarked that “everybody over in Christian county believes the boys are nr icent.” “That ’ar Detective Page is at the bottom of the hull trouble,” was remarked by a Christian county farmer. From inquiry' aud observation your ’correspondent learned that a comparatively new idea had taken possession of the rural mind, or rather an old idea had been resurrected. “Es thet ’ar man Page had kep’ away, them boys wouldn’t hev bin whar they are,” remarked a farmer last, night, who had heretofore ben declaring his complete belief in the guilt of the defendants. “All he car’d fur was ter make money oaten tlier case, an’ It didn’t make no difference ter him es twenty men was hon&f*. Itis a singular fact that notwithstanding that the evidence now standing against ihe accused is stronger than it ever was before, this sort of talk may' be heard among those who have been persistently clamoring for the blood of Montgomery'. Clementi and Pettus. The idea has been promulgated that Detective Pago is to blame for the whole trouble that followed the outrage upon Miss Bond, and hence the guilt or innocence of the defendants is lost sight of for the moment. As soon as this idea has become a little worn it will be thrown aside for another, and what that will bo it will be impossible to surmise. _ DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

The Place Carried by Assault After a Whole Day’s Fighting. Paris, Dec. 21.—Admiral Peyron, Minister of Marine, has received the following from Sontay, dated the “Sontay is ours. The outer enceinte was carried by assault at 6 o’clock on Sunday evening. The attack began in the morning, and the assault was made at sin the evening with a bravery worthy all praise. The foreign legion, together with the marines, infantry and sailors of the flotilla, assisted in the bombardment. The citadel was evacuated during the night, and was occupied on the morning of the 17th without fighting. We do not yet know whither the Black Flags, rebel Annamites and Chinese have fled, and it is impossible to learn their losses. We lost about fifteen killed, including one officer, and sixty wounded, including five officers.” Admiral Courbet, in his official report, states that three officers and sixty-seven men were killed, and ten officers and 170 men wounded before Sontay on the 14th. Cost of the Expedition. Paris, Deo. 21.—General Millot’s force in Tonquin will eventually number 32,000 men. The amount of money 6pent on the Tonquin expedition so far is 43.000,000 francs. It is thought the necessity for anew loan is inevitable. EGYPTIAN MATTERS. The King of Abyssinia Massing; Troops and Threatening War. Paris, Dec. 21.—The papers publish the following from Cairo: “The King of Abyssinia is massing troops at Adua, and threatening Massowak. It is stated that about the first of December b the Abyssinian chiefs attacked an entrenched Egyptian position near Massowab and massacred 500 Egyptians. Dissension Among the Rebels, Cairo, Dec. 21.—The Governor of Tokay telegraphs the Khedive that there are dissensions among the rebel Egyptian tribes along the Suakim and Berber route. The Hadendua tribe are fighting among themselves. Two of the prinple rebel chiefs intend going to Khartoum to have an interview with the Governor. It is reported that Col. Sartorius has re victualed the garrison of Sinkat for two months through friendly nations. Tt is hoped the garrison of Toka will be similarly relieved. THE GLASGOW DYNAMITERS. Ten of the Prisoners Found Guilty and Sentenced to Imprisonment. Edinburgh, Dec. 21.—Five of the Glasgow dynamiters on trial here have been found guilty of all the charges aud sentenced to life imprisonment. The other five were found guilty on the first charge only and sentenced to seven years penal servitude. The following prisoners were sentenced for life: Terrence McDermot, Thomas Devaney, Peter Callaghan, Henry MoAun and Patrick McCullogli. For seven years: James O’Donnelly, James Kelly, Patrick McCabe, Patrick Drum and Dennis Casey. The judge, in his charge, said it had never fallen to his lot, in all his legal experience, to investigate a more abominable and despicable outrage. After tracing the history of Featherstone, who was convicted of treason-felony in Liverpool in September last, the judge told the jury It was their duty to take into consideration whether the prisoners were associated with him. The judge referred to the evidence of the witnesses who identified Delaney, McCann and Donnelly as being in the vicinity of the gasometer at Glasglow before the explosion, but remarked that evidence to identify the others was not so distinct. The jury recommended Kelly, McCabe, Drum. Donnelly and Casey to the leniency of the court, as, in the opinion of the jury, they were not aware of the extent of the operations of the Fenian society to which they belonged. SEA PERILS. Thirty-Eight Men Lost by the Burning of .a Mail Steamer. London, Dec. 21.—Survivors of the steamship Bt. Augustine, burned on Bunday in the Bay of Biscay, state that thirty-eight men were on hoard when the four boats put off. It is feared all were lost, as when the steamer was last seen a heavy sea was running, the vessel was all on fire, and there were no other boats. Wreck of the Regina. London, Dec. 21.—The bark Boroma, from Savannah, rescued the chief officers from the wreck of the ship Regina, from Philadelphia, which went to pieces in a gale on the 4th inst. Two of the crew died from exposure; the others took to the boats and rafts, and are still missiug- 9 THE BERNHARDT SCANDAL. Colombier Favors the Public with Her Version of the Disturbance. Paris, Dec. 21—Marie Colombier has written a letter to the Figaro expressing her regrets for writing the “Memoirs of Sarah Barnum,” because the book has caused such a discussion. She declares Bernhardt wrong in supposing herself to be the Imaginary heroiue alluded to in the book. Colombier continues: “Neither her dagger nor horsewhip, nor the cutlass of Richepin touched me. Concealed behind a window curtain, I witnessed all that passed. Richepin wounded one of my friends, who was endeavoring to prevent him entering my apartments. Bernhardt never complained about my hook until injudicious friends prompted her to do so.” FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Arrival of the Remains of De Long aud Party at Irkutsk. Irkutsk. Dec. 21.—The remains of I)e Long and others of the Jeaunette crew have arrived here. The remains were borne in procession through the streets to-day, escorted by a detachment of troops, and a multitude of peoplejoined the cortege. Many wreaths were placed upon the coffins, and printed copies of poems describing the exploits and the unhappy end of the party were distributed among the crowd. Tho remains will he tukeu to America. The Crown Prince and the Pope. Romk, Dec. 21.—According to the Kassegna (newspaper) the German Crown Prince and the Pope talked three-quai :ers of an hour upon general subjects. When the Prince was leaving the Pope asked him if he had any mission to perform. The Prince replied: “I have oue only, namely : to express tho warm desire of the Em-

pernr and Bismarck for the restoration of religious peace in Germany in conformity with our lawsund institutions.” French Operations in Madagascar. Zanzibar, Dec. 21.—A letter from Admiral Gabber, French commandant m Madagascar, states that on the night of Nov. 26 the Hovas attempted to abduct the Queen of Sakalavas from Majumra, but were frustrated by the tire from a gunboat aud the landing of a party or riflemen from another gunboat. The condition of the French troops iu Madagascar is good. Negotiations wnh the Hovas have not been resumed. Trials of Europeans In India. Calcutta, Dec. 21.—The Englishman (newspaper) states that an arrangement has been made between the Indian government and the Anglo-Indian Association, whereby no native, except a district judge, shall exercise criminal jurisdiction over European or British subjects, who willlie entitled to trial by a majority of European jurors. Cable Notes. The injury to the Czar by being thrown from a sledge Is not considered us endangering Ins life. The American bishops have agreed upon the attitude to be adopted by the Catholic clergy of the United States toward the Fenians. Fourteen thousand cotton opc natives in Lancashire, England, are idle In consequence of a strike. Half the looms iu Blackburn have stopped. At the feast of Bt. Nicholas, King Milan, of Servia, pardoned 400 peasants convicted of connection with the recent revolts. The roval commission passed severe sentences upon the clergymen and teachers guilty of complicity in the rebellion. The Pall Mall Gazette describes Secretary FoJger’s report, as an unintentionally humorous production. It says that the document is written with an air of the most ponderous gravity, but is full of surnrises, as the real point of many of the paragraphs is broken off by a palpable evasion after tho reader has become interested in the preceding matter. This use of anti climaxes is a favorite trick of the humorist, and tiie Gazette congratulates Judge Folger on his success in anew field of literature. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The ocean steamship lines have reduced thirdclass fare from Europe to S2O. A miner named John Doland was killed in a snowslide near Silvertou, Col., on Thursday.

Governor Lowrie, ot Mississippi, baa granted a respite of thirty days to Silas Lane, colored, who was sentenced to be hanged in Rolling Fork yesterday. The dry goods dealers, cotton merchants and bankers of New York have appealed to the sinking fund commissioners for an increase of the water supply. The rolling mills of McLaneton, Smith & Cos., at Hollidaysburg, Pa., and the HolHdaysburg Iron and Nail Company have shut down on account of lack of orders. The officers of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal ami Iron Company say their total output for 1883 has been about 31,250,000 tons, an increase of 2,250,000 over last year. The New York police commissioners hare passed resolutions favoring the institution of a system of telegraphic and telephone signals similar to those in Chicago aud other oities. At Georgetown, 8. C, yesterday, Jerry Cox, colored, was hanged for the murder of Herbert Remberr, in June last. Cox protested his innocence to the last, showed no fear, and made a short speech on the scaffold. Charles Weaver, a prisoner In the Sunbury, Pa., jail, has confessed his connection with the gang of burglars which committed a number of depredations in that vicinity, and given the names and addresses of all the members. Calvin Eaton, a constable, was shot by Edward Doo last nlgbt. The men met on the road, near Seabrook, N. H., and greeted each other pleasantly. When parting, Doo shot Eaton twice in the hack, inflicting fatal wounds. Judge Hoffman has decided in the United States Court, at. San Francisco, that if the evidence proves that a Chinese laborer leaves his country to engage in mercantile business in America he is a merchant umler the statute. At New York, yesterday, the surrogate, on the ground of want of jurisdiction, refused an allowance of $25,000 to the widow and daughter of Jesse Hovt. The Supreme Court says the surrogate has jurisdiction, and remanded the case to him. The entire business part of the town of Xecheo, Tex., burned yesterday. The principal sufferers are Pinkard & Luges, whose loss is $13,000; insurance $6,500. Brvan A McClure, L. J. Posey and L. R. Dunn are considerable losers, aud are partially insured. The Pottsvllle, Shamokin and Shenandoah dis. tricts, of Pennsylvania, mined in November, 1,080,631 tons of anthracite coal, in the production of which fifteen miners were killed and thirty-four severely injured, mainly inexperienced Poles aud Hungarians. A north-bound New Orleans express train on the Ala* ania & Great Southern railroad struck a broken rail near Akron, Ala., on Wednesday n**ut, and was derailed. The Pullman sleeper rolled down an embankment and James Lynch, if Cincinnati, was badly injured. Word has been received from Tobermory, Lake Huron, of the wrecking, on the Manitoulin islands, of the schooner D. 8. Hungerford,of Buffalo. The crew of six men built a tent and remained on the island nineteen days. They finally reached Tobermory, Ontario, in an old fishing boat. A statement having been published to the effect that General R. S. Mackenzie, commanding the department of Texas, being in failing health, contemplates retiring from the service, Adju-tant-general Williams is authority for the statement that General Mackenzie is sick, and owing to that fact has been temporarily relieved from command at Han Antonio. The details of his sickness are not yet known. Nathan Massengale, of White River, Stone county, Mo., proposed to Hiram Loomis that they exchange wives, Massengale offering his eight-months baby as boot. The trade was accomplished, but Mrs. Loomis, in quitting her home, demanded a horse, which she claimed to be hers. The difficulty was bridged, after a few shots were exchanged between the men, and the new arrangement pleases all parties concerned. ______________________. A Square Fight on the Tariff Wanted. Tipton Advocate. Let. us have a square fight on the open issue. The Democratic party' has been thundering in the index long enough. Let it fight or surrender. It will mean the same thing in the end; but the end will come quicker. Protectionists were deceived once by double dealing iu the presidential election of 1844, and the result’was the tariff of 1846. They are not to be deceived again. _ The Margin Gamblers. nancock Democrat. The man that has nothing to sell, and the men that have no money to make purchases, are no better than poker and seven-up players. The moral of respectable trade means to sell what you have and pay for what you get. If the article rises or falls while in your hands, it is your gain or loss. The margin scheme is a cunninglydevised game of commercial gamblers, and is almost sure to bankrupt all that play at it. The Only Great Democratic Principle. Charleston, 111., Plaindealer. The Democratic party disfranchises, in all the States made sacred by partnership with the late Coulcderacv. the black race, with rospect to national affairs, and kills all the negroes requisite to getting up a sufficient reigu of terror. Jersey City Style. Bismarck Tribune. A Jersey City girl has a foot where one of her hands ought to be and a hand iu place of one of her feet. She can kick a recreant lover down stairs awful neatly without exposing her hosiery. Thomas Naal’s Future. Harper's Weekly. In answer to many inquiries from subscribers, we regret to say that Mr. Thomas Nast, who still retains his connection with Messrs. Harper <fe Brothers, baa not yet sufficiently recovered

I from the severe attack of pneumonia by which be was recently prostrated to give the public the benefit- of his genius. We hope, however, thatberore many months have nassed i*e will he able to resume the pencil with which he has done such vigorous and noble work iu the cause of the Union aud in support of honest and enlightened administration of national, State, and municipal government. The public will be glad to learn that, should his health permit, Mr. Nast will deliver some lectures during the coarse of the winter. The Hot-Water Cure. Pittsburg Dispatch. Man that is born of woman is of few days, aud heretofore has been destined to spend those few <lays in hot water. This is now all changed by getting the hot water into man. Thus the trouble is reversed and man rises triumphant over the torment which hitherto surrounded him, but which he now surrounds. Public Opinion Needs Toning Up.J Terre Haute Courier. It. is right to criticise public officials for the non-enforcement of the luw, but public sentiment often needs toning up. Officers are too apt to base their standard of duty upon the demands of public sentiment, rather than in accordance with the letter of the law. The Polygamists aud Their Frleuds. Lafayette Journal. The polygamists know well on whom to call to defeat legislation against the “twin relic,” because tiiev know from experience that every measure intended to interfere with it has met the most strenuous opposition from the Democratic leaders. Ireland’s Mistake. Kokomo GcAetto. Ireland’s present, course will set her back for years. England will tighten her grip on Ireland, and the sympathy that would have otherwise been accorded the latter will he withheld. Liberties are never gained by murder aud assassination. The Socialists’ Theory. Greensburg Standard. An equal division of property would be disastrous at the outset, the wealth in a short time would naturally revert to toe monopolists, and the mass of the people again be as poor as ever. A Gum-Elastic Heart. Irwinton Avpeal. The femiuine heart is Just like anew India rubber shoe; you may pull and pull at it till it stretches out a yard long, and theu let go and it will fly right back to its old shape. The Agony of It.

Better Take Care. Philadelphia Press. As soon as Gerald Massey gets that $5,000 damages from the New York Times and SIO,OOO more, he will be worth $15,000. At present, however, he is worth less. The Downward Industrial Tendency. Terro Haute Express. The tendency throughout the industrial interests of the country is a reduction of waees and a curtailment of production; a hedging in all branches of manufacture. Singular Idea of Bliss. Philadelphia Record. A happy Lock Haven couple after they were married set off at once to attend a teachers’institute. This is a practical notion that is worth considering. The Other Side of It. Martinsville Republican. A Southern editor on the Cincinnati News Journal Rays that a Southern Republican is a knave. The general verdiot is that that editor is a fool. jji( Effective Republican Allies. Rockville Republican. If the Democrats of the South want to insure the election of a Republican President iu 1884, let them continue their Southern outrages. Theory and Practice. Spencer Republican. A Democratic farmer is a free-trader in theory, but when it comes to wool he is in favor of protecting American industries. THERE’S A MAN IN HERE. A Characteristic Anecdote of the Late President Lincoln. Recollections of Gen. E. D. Townsend. An old friend of Mr. Lincoln once related to me another of his stories which shows not a little of his character. This gentleman was conversing with the President at a time during the war when things looked very dark. On taking leave he asked the President what he should say to their friends iu Kentucky—what cheering news he could give them of him. Mr. Lincoln replied: ‘*That reminds me of a man who prided himself greatly on his game of chess, having seldom been beaten. He heard of a machine, called the ‘Automaton ChessPlayer,’ which was beating every one who played against it So he went to try his skill with the machine. He lost the first game, so with the second, and the third. Then, rising in astonishment from his seat, he walked around the machine and looked at it a few minutes. Then, stopping and pointing at it, he exclaims, ‘There is a man in there!’ Tell my friends,” said Mr. Lincoln, drawing himself up to his full height, “there is a man in here!” This was no spirit of bravado. It was to reassure his friends, by showing them that he was not wavering or discouraged, but was determined to rise above every adverse event, and act his part manfully. It was on such occasions, when a great resolve was uppermost in his mind, that the true majesty of Mr. Lincoln appeared in his face and form. I think Vinnie Ream failed in her statue, representing him as presenting his emancipation proclamation to the world, by overlooking this trait. The statue, with head somewhat bowed, and a look as of doubt, does not seem to bring out the stern and lofty sentiment which, at such a moment, his whole presence, head erect and mouth compressed, would have exhibited, showing that he realized the full responsibility, and courageously assumed it. SMITTEN BY HIS SIZE. Emma Brandt Announces Her Readiness to Elope with the Yorkshire Giant. Chicago News. Miss Emma Brandt is a slender North Side maiden whose lips close like the two halves of a muffin. A few days ago Emma paid a visit to the Chicago museum, and her eyes fell on the Brobdingnagian form of the Yorkshire giant. From that moment her heart was lost. She has been a constant visitor at the museum every day since, and she can always be seen moving around in close proximity to the giant, feasting her eyes on his martial uniform and plumed cap. The girl came again yesterday, carrying a bundle wrapped in manilla paper. She informed manager Coup that it contained her wedding clothes, and she had come prepared to elope with the object of her affections. Mr. Coup assisted her to the platform, and introduced her to the blushing boy of Yorkshire. He stood up, waved his arm over her head and gazed down into her upturned face as one might gaze from a church steeple into the street below. Then they conversed a few minutes together. “Have you made it all up?” asked Mr. Coup, as Emmajdescended from the plarform. “Yes, I have, and I’m going to marry him,” she replied. “His diamond ring will make you a very pretty bracelet.” ‘I think he’s awful nice.” A serviceable match-holder may be made for the hall chandelier bv'crochcting a small bag of pink and white crochet cotton, and fitting in it a goblet from which the handle has been-broken. Two tassels should depend from the botton and a pretty twisted cord fastened to the chandelier.
