Camdix, O., Oct. 6L Thts is Republican day at this city, and enthusiasm is unbounded. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a magnificent pole was raised. Hon. L. IL Grennan, of Oxford, and CoL Robert Williams, of Eaton, made the addresses. To-night, fully fire thousand people a M jtrt t V mtpmAlm Tn ft. 4 A tT tP A al m 9. t i ftr ft trrxm Eaten, Jliddletown, Hamilton, Oxford, Winchester, Falrhavsn, Qaakertown, and all towns tntma a radius 01 twenty miles. At 8 o cloek a grand torch-light procession of not less than two thousand people took place. The Eaton Cornet band led the parade, and drum corps, as well as bands from other places were interspersed in the ranks, the Logcabin club, of forty-five handsome young ladies from Eaton, and the Winchester Ladies Glee Club were among the attractive features. The 3 T- : 3 ft-A uaua xunuoa ana juortou viuo, ci one hundred and fifty members under whose auspiees to-night's demonstration took place, are wide-awake, and in their showy uniforms and Tari-colored silk umbrellas, were the admiration of everybody, and ere frequently cheered tas they pasted alonz the streets. The club Is doing noble work. After parading about the town, the proeeesion halted In front of a log eabin, on the corner of Main and Cross streets, the bands played, and tho people cheered. Good judges estimated the crowd at this point at about : thirty-five hundred listeners, to say nothiag of . the people who were moving about. Capt. J. Lee Yaryan, of Richmond, one of the most talented orators in Indiana, was introduced, and for nearly two hours spoke in a convincing and entertain;J ing manner. His strongest point was the much- . mooted tariff question, holding the gauzy claims of the Demoeracy up so that a man who Was able to understand plain English could not but be convinced. Being an old soldier himself, he was thoroughly at home in that part of the argument, and eaught the old boys in blue from , the very beginning; he was frequently interrupted with eheers and applause. After Captam ' Yaryan eame Hon. T. CL Ryan, of Colombns, Ohio, secretary of the Board of Canal Commissioners, a man who is noted as the living image of the dead John A. Logan. His speech was full of meat and bristling? with sharp sayings. Hie argument on the tariff, the Southern question and the vetoes of President Cleveland were received with applause and shouts or favor.

It has been given out that Geo. B Blanehard a resignation as chairman of the Central Traffic Association was voluntary, . notwithstanding that the position is a congenial one, and worth 118,000 a year. This morning a local paper says that facts have come to the urfaee which indicate Mr. Blancharde resignation was forced, and that it was mainly due to the hostility of President King, of the Erie. Chairman Fink's health has been bad the last ' few years, obliging him to take a European trip this summer. As Mr. Fink bad often expressed a desire to relinquish the position of chairman of the Trunk-line Association, Mr. Blanehard, it . is said, evinced a duire to be Chairman Fink's successor. This was considered by the trunkline presidents a month or two ago, and President King, it is claimed, stated that under no ' consideration would he sobmit to the proposlI lion, nor would he work with any eombination that was ruled by Mr. Blanehard. President JRoberte is eaid to have stood by President King "hia v opposition to Mr. Btanchard. SubseVtly.Mr. Blanehard called on President to consider the steps necessary to the existing demoralization of Eastern road affairs. The fact that immediately after t conference Chairman Blanehard determined ,S.ign indicates that President Roberts rec- , mended that the resignations accepted, for . m. liftl tftwint n T...i1 Ant k'lnfi at petition to Mr. Blanehard, the Erie lines could not otherwise be prevailed upon to join in a reeetabiishment of harmonious relations. When Blanehard tendered his resignation, it is stated, he indicated that his salary of $18,000 a year was;-'dequate, and that he might be prevailed ca to remain if it was raised to $23,000. the same as paid Mr. Fink. It is believed that the increase would have been granted had it not been for President Roberts e letter. The committee conveniently found that it could not afford to increase the expense account $3,000 a year, and accepted Chairman Blanchard's resig"'"n.

German Delighted vrltli Ills Reception at Vieona Th Cotulng Visit to Rome. Copyright. 16-n, by the New Tcrk AMociated Press. Berlin, U?t. Empsroi William's reception at Vienna has sent a thrill of gratification throughout the empire. Apart from tbo popalar demonstrations the enthusiasm shown and ths secnes at the banquet riven to his Majesty, the viait has been of immense value in displaying the Kmperors latent qualities. His social tact and personal cu:ality hare hitherto been only known in limited circles. The current notions investing htm with a cold, nnsympathetio perlonality hare been corrected by tbo 6milioe serenity with which he passed tbrongh the tirinr ceremonies associated with his reception. The talk at the embassies and in the official circles at Vienna is uncrating as to what the Kmperor said to this one. and how he receired another. Every incident is detailed, tostiyiog to the happy impression left upon the people. It is not the least art of a cacao's ruler to contrive, amid the strain of wearisome social duties, to please every hih-born personape, giving to each the p:aiue f enviction of havine received ample reecognition. Emperor William has psssed through the ordeal of Austrian society in triumph, acquirinc uew character as a man of cordial, aa veil as kinzly, presence. But his social triumph is a trifle beside the significance of the exchange of imperial courtesies at the Kittersaal and the banquet. The official . papers he'ra at Vienna comment upon the Emperor's speeches as assurances that tho German and Acstrian armies are practically united and ready for aation against a common enemy. Any remote suspicion of Emperor William's inclining toward the Czar has been dispelled. On the contrsry, several incidents have occurred which impel the conviction that decisive action for the testing of the strength of the alliance will not be long delayed. Emperor WiilLaia studiously showed himself gracious toward the militant and Slavio element In Austria-linnffary. , lis decorated Premier Tisza and Ilerr Von Szoganyi, and warmly received Count Acdrassy and other mag?arpk while ignoring the Slavic personages abot-tbo Austrian court. To-dy the Emperor went chamois bun tin? in the Imperial preserves" In the Semmering mountains. Emperor -!aoeis Joseph's shooting lodge in the village of Murzitei?, a small buildine eontaiuite six sleeping rooms and a diningroom, was crowded, and their Majesties therefore, were left at Vienna. Emperor William will remain in Vienna until Wednesday, when he will start for Italy. -The interview of Cardinal Gslimberti, papal nuncio at Vienna, with bis Majesty, on Tuesday, lasted only ten minutes. The Cardinal, it is said, has freely stated that the Emperor, after expressing the hope that nothing would ocenr dnrine his viait to Home to wound the susceptibilities of the Pope, declined to diccuis any question peudine between the Vatican and Germany, simply referring him to Count Herbert Bismarck. The nuceio's subsequent con ferenee with Count Herbert Bismarck appears to have been limited to the arranging of the formalities of Emperor William's reception at the Vatican. Advices from Home, received here last evening, announce that the Vatican is genuinely satisfied with the programme arranged. Herr Von Schloezer, German embassador at the Vatican, ss instructed by Count Herbert Bitmarck, assented to every formality suggested by Cardinal Kara poll a, papal Secretary of State. Emperor William will callnpon the Pope at the Vatican before going to the (juirinah Gaining this point has gladdened the officials at the Vatican. The Pope will hold a private conference with the Emperor in the library, wbieh is now decorated with the tapestry presented to him on the occasion of his jubilee. On the day of the Emperor's arrival, Cardinal Ifampolla will wait on him. and on the following day the Emperor will retura the visit of the Cardinal. Ton smslleat details of the reception of his Majeity have been settle!, even to how many hornes and what carnages shall form the Emperor's eortege, the nnmbr of persona in bis suite, and the place asaiened to each. The public reception at the Quirinal and thetstes given in bis Majesty's honor will be without any apecial formality. The Italian polic assisted by Berlin officers, are taking precautious to prevent any attempt npoo the Emperor'a life, in conae;uence of warnings received t7 them. The German and Italian Anarchists mean mischief. Letters from Zurich, which have been intercepted, refer to some plot against his Majesty, acd give rise tc, tie belief that he will be attacked during bis tonr of Italy. The list of military oeraonages accompanying Emperor William now includes Generals Von Hahnke ami Vn Branchitseh. Harren Mielenz and SchulU, of the military cabinet, and Von Ktuger. It is of ominous import tb-t . pendant of the imperial viiit & military conference take place at MiKd. at which General Cosonz. the Italian chief of staff, will meet Generala Von Waldersee and Von 11 shrike and two delegates of the Austrian War Office. On returning from Naples the Kmperor will vUit Milan. The Vionna Pressf to-night state that the Kmperor will probably apaia go to Vienna, arrivice there on the 20tn. No news of sucn an arrangement has been received here, where he is timed to retura on the 23 J. The Berlin municipals want to atcord tbo Emperor a great public demonstration of welcome. Ilia tonr aince leaving hae been a kind of triumphal progress, raising the Kaiser worship to a white heat. Count Douglas's election prwech at Aecbersleben faithfully reflects the present popular tendency towards inconsiderate admiration of an untried ruler. Count Douelas, a3 fur aa a conservative with liberal leaninc coold be, has been intimate with the Emperor sitiCe his Majesty's boyhood, and is good authority on his character; but the portrait which he sketched for the electorate was obviously an ideal, combining the highest capabilities of governing and military genius with moral aspirations making him kindred with the angels. Connt Douglas's effusion is about to bo pnblished in pamphlet form, for distribution throughout the empire. It opens with the declaration that "nTer before has our Kaiser, the only Prussian Prince, seen so much of practical life." This exaggeration is tbe keynote of the whole eulogy. The author describes tbe Emperor as having acquired by severity of training habits of conscientious performance of duties, bieh moral earnestness and a clear perception of that duty toward tho country which vaunt canse him to place personal safety and personal affections below the pablio weak According to Count Douglas, William, while a prince, showed himself a "beeeisterter und schnei.ieeer soldaf amidst the unwearied exercise of his military functions. "lie went throuch training in all the administratite departments, showing an intuitive perception and practical ense amazing to old experienced officials." "As Emperor," continues the panegyrist, 'he has shown bimtelt impervious to flattery, though open to eonvietion and honest advice; the champion of religious toleration: an earnest philanthropist; an assiduous friend of the working clasies; not ascetic, but healthily pious; a foe to sensual indulgence, and sternly opposed to gambling and other prodigalities. Finally, he is averse to war, sympathizes with popular aims, and desires progressive legislation compatible with the nation's Interests." Count Douglas did sot draw this character without tbe Emperor's sanction. Every lino is meant to impress upon Germans the belief that be is a sovereign aSle to trovern without the assistance of the greatest statesman, and to lead armies to victory relying upon bis own strateey. The inference is that the Emperor aims to prepare Germany for tho retirement of Bismarek. English Views of German Politics. Special to the Indlananolls Journal. London, Oct Gw-The speech delivered by Count Douglas to his constituency has attracted universal attention, in view of the fact that ths speaker stands in the relation of a friend and

confidant to the Emperor. The speech is one on all sides admittsi to be tbe highest of all the eulogies yet pronounced upon the young Kaiser, and is especially strong coupled with the assertion of Prince Bismarck that the Emperor did not need his advice, as be was both Emperor and Chancellor rolled into one. There is no doubt however, that the speech wss inspired, and the manifestation of approbation on tbe part of tbe Count's hearers, together with tbe suceeediog toasts, indicate that the triple alliance is more firmly cemented than ever. The speech is now being rehearsed for the benefit of Russia and France, aod will, no doubt, call for a response from tbe leading statesmen of one or both of those countries. In commenting on the speech, the St James Gazette laments the fact that England !s not a member of the alliance, and regrets that tbe Prince of Wales should hav gone to Baebarest instead of remaining in Vienna during the visit of the German emperor to Vienna, his action having implied a confirmation of the rumors of aerious differences between tbe English and German courts. The Pall Mall Gazette ssys thst Emperor William promises well, but Europe will eagerly await developments. Tbe enthusiastic rally of the Germans around the Kaiser is in tbe greatest possible contrast to the spectacle presented by distracted aod faction-ridden France, and throws into clear relief the privileges which accrue to the subjects of a monarchy. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Whltechapel Murders Continue tho Absorbing Tople In London. London, Oct 6. Nothing that the newspapers can present to their readers receives so much attention as the Wbitecbspel murders. Important political utterances, which ordinarily would provoke general discussion, are unread, and continental affiairs of vital interest to England are thrust aside as of no consequence whatever. The police have adopted tbe theory that the letter and postal card sigoed "Jack tbe Kipper," sent to the Central Mews, a week ago Thursday, emanated from the actual murderer. Fao similes of the letter and card are posted in every police station and upon every dead wall, accompanied by a paragraph beginning, "Any person recognizing tbe writer is requested to communicate with General Sir Charles Warren, chief of the commissioners of the metropolitan police." Tbe Central News received another communication from "Jack, the Kipper," yesterday evening, annonocinc his intention to commit more murders to-night, and upon the strength of this the police have ordered every man on duty and are assisted by hundreds of amateur detectives. The reign of terror which has prevailed in the Whltechapel district daring the past week still continues, and tbe arrival of daylight to-morrow will be hailed with joy by thousands of the denizens of that locality. GeClecken'a Prosecution. ICorjright, lSv. by the New York Associated Press. 1 Berlin, Oct C A Hamburg dispatch announces that no definite measure has yet been taken to prosecute Prof. Geffiecksn. It is not true that the authorities have seen a written permit from the late Emperor Frederick authorizing Geffiecken to publish the disry. Tho inquiry resulted in establishing the faet that Geffiecken never got a copy from Frederick. It is cot known whence be obtained the extracts. Madame GefSeeken wss refused permission to hold a private interview with her husband, recently, bhe appealed to Procurator GrosebofT, of Berlin, who promised her freer access to tbe prisoner after his examination by Procurator Tesaendorff, of Leipsie. Gcrmtni Fare Iladly In Africa. London, Oct C Germans continue to fare badly in Africa, Zanzibar is erowded with fugitives, and the natives bold nearly every advantageous point except the towns on the coast protected by German vessels. Tbe English missionaries are safe, and at most of the stations the natives are disposed to offer extraordinary advantages for the protection of English subjects. ASSAILING THE KNIGHTS. T. B. Carry Resigns ilis Position and SaT&?elj Arraigns the Executive Board. Special to the Indianapolis Sanal. East Saginaw, Mich., Oct C T. B. Barry, member of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, has sent a lengthy letter addrsed to the chairman and members of tbe general executive board of that body, resigning

bis position as a member of the board. In his letter he scathingly arraigns tbe administration of tho affairs of the Knights of Labor. lie says tbat be can no longer endure to be a witness to the many farees and deceptions practiced upon the innocent masses; tbat he finds to be cue of the members of the general executive board is to be a party to a fraud that leads the unthinking masses to social suffering with nothing in return but promises never in tended o be kept. Mr. Barry ssys he desires to see tbe order live, but believes that it is impossible for it to survive another year under tbe praetiees now carried on, and that these practices mn?t cease if the order is to live. The chief Qualifications, Mr. Barry assert, fcr membership in the executive board are falsity, deception, and to be able to tyrannize over those whose only privilege is to bear assessments to solve a social problem for ourselves and our families by teeing that the salaries of tbe board are paid. He chsrges tbe board with discharging Knights of Labor employed In the general offices and putting in their places persons who were not members of the order. Instead of calling the general offices of the Knights of Labor the "Headquarters of United Labor," it would be more appropriate, Mr. Darry declares, to call it the "Luxurious Home of KaU." He ebargea tbe board with chiefly being engaged in ernshing the districts or individnals in tbe order who dared to criticise its acts, and declares he would have exposed the methods of ths bosrd at tbe Richmond convention, had he not been called away, and also the spy system it practiced npoo the representatives of the order assembled there, when all persons suspected of being unfavorable to the bosrd were cumbered, tn order tbat tne spies might pick them ont the more easily, doz their footsteps and learn tbeir sentiments toward the board. Mr. Barry also Intimates that the spies were paid out of the fends of the order. Tbe executive board ia also charged with deceiving the order by an Incorrect report of the proceedings of the Minneapolis assembly and publishing only so much of the proceedings as were satisfactory to tbe board. A I tare Freak of Nature, fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Westfield, 111., Oct. 6. A woman named Davis, who is possessed of not less thsn forty tumors, varying in size from six inches in diameter down to the size of a quail's egg, was operated upon yesterday at this placa by Dr. Williams, of Terre Haute, lnd., assisted by Drs. Hall, Tobey, Parcel and Briscoe, of this place, and Dr. Iiingland of Kansas, I1L Tbe case u a very complicated one, and if the patient survives the operation, it will be almost a miracle. About ten gallons of liquid matter was taken from the woman's body, and fully that amonut bad been taken from ber on a former occasion. Tbe surceons did not complete the operation as contemplated, fearing death would result immediately. At this writing; tbe patient still lives, but ber death may occur at anytime. The case attracts a great deal of interest. Burglars Again at Work In Tern, kipeclsl to the Indiananolis Jovrnal. Peru, Ind., Oct 8. Tho reign of burglary existing in this city some weeks ago, the perpetrators of which were not discovered, wss resumed again last night by thieves forcing an entrance into the house of J. O'ConnelLen West Seventh street The booty taken consisted of a gold watch, money, and other articles of value. Tbe burglars were evidently scared away, as a sum of money belonging to aeon, sleeping in the next room, wss not taken. Skeleton keys were used, and the general appearances indicate that they were experts. Heir to a Large Estate. New Havev, Conn., Oct 6. George B. Bradbury, an uneducated farm hand of this eity, has fallen heir to an estate representing millions by a decision recently rendered in an English court Bradbury formerly resided with his sister, Mrs, Frsnk Gellct No. 122 Dey street but left som months ago to work upon a farm near Uartford.

The Issnes of tbe Campaign Discussed Before Enthusiastic Audiences. An Old Soldier Deserts the Democratic Party Fension Agents Makinjr Many Promises Activity in role-Raisins?. Er-ecial to the Indianaoolls Journal. Delphi, Oct. d Tbe exodus from the Democratic party in this county continues. One of the most important changes that has taken place is that of William Hughes, a Democratie soldier, who has been one of Democracy's" mainstays in this vicinity. lie was the only Carrollcounty soldier who escaped from tbe Sultana when that ill-fated vessel blew up. In the following letter to the Delphi Journal Mr. Hughes gives his reasons for a change of heart: I wish to say a few words through Jyour columns to my friends in Carroll conntjr, and especially to my ol4 comrades. As many of you know, I have been a Democrat all my life, was born and ntad one. When the late war broke out 1 was a war Democrat. In enlisted in the Twent.fourth Indiana I3attery and served three years. 1 was captured in the Atlanta campaigu, and lay ia the Andersonrille hell for eisht months. The treatment of the boys who served their country faithfully by the present Democratic President has been, to say the least, harsh and unmerciful, and every old veteran should bow open his eyes and look at things as they are in reality. It is time now, comrades, that we all join hands and stand together. I. for one, have cast oit all allegiance to the Democratic party and Grover Cleveland, and shall cast my vote for our comrades, Gen. lien Harrison and Gen. A. P. Hovey. Come out, my Democratie comrades, and let us beeou'nted with those who stood by us when the darkest of dark days was upon our country. We saved this country and made it what it is to-day. Its coffers are full, made so by our service. We can make ourselves felt this campaign; after this we will not have another opportunity. So cIjso up. comrades, and touch elbows. Rally around the old flat once raore and earry it to victory for Harrison and Hovey. 1 here is one man in the service ..Of the present administration who is worthy of our birt ' refards. and that is our comrade. Gen. John O. Black, love Lim because 1 think he is n friend of the old comrades. W. H. UroiiES, Twenty-fourth Indiana lottery. The Pensloo liaoket Again, fascial to tbe Indianapolis Joar&a. Liberty, Oct 6. The Democratic bosses here in Union county are eoing to ex-Union soldiers whose applications for pensions are pending, and promising that if the soldiers will vote for Cleveland their claims will be taken up, and agreeing to guarantee a Tension very soon. Your correspondent tea verify this statement with names, if necessary. It is believed that this racket is being worked wherever it is likely to gain a vote, throughout Indiana. The Democratic heelers are desperate, which shows that they see see handwriting on tho wall, and would avert tbe disaster that awaits them Nov. C. It is too late, however. Hon. Cbas. Shiveley, of Richmond, delivered speeches at Lotus and Hart's school-bouse, this county, Thursday acd Friday nights, striking telling blows in behalf of protection and Republicanism. Prosecuting Attorney Jackson, of Wayne county, last nicht delivered a splendid Republican speech to a lsrze audience at Red Itidge, aod two former Democrats declared for Harrison and ilorton. Where Campaign Poles are Numerous, (pedal to tne Indianapolis Journal. Peru, Oct. C The pole-raising feature of the campaign throughout this county is certainly one of great activity and msznilnie. Republican and Democratie poles are almost as plentiful as trees of the forest, and nowhere ean one go but what the eye meets these emblems. Republicans generally have cause to congratulate themseluss upon the many handsome ones bearing the Harrison and Morton streamers, and this alone is not applicable to the oountry, but all throughout this city patriotic onea bearing the banner of protection and Republicanism are to be seen. A generous rivalry has existed at Denver, north of here, regarding Tarioos heights, and now the Republicans of that section will, on Wednesday, Oct. 10. erect one which will tower to a beigth of 2-"0 feet. Hon. A. O. Marfrh will deliver the address, and delegations from this county, Wabash and Fulton will be present to assist, ending with a grand demonstration at night. - Meetings at Kokoroo. fpeclsl to ths IndlansDolts Jcuratu.

Plummer, of Dakota, vf ho was advertised to speak, and for some cause was unable to appear. Notwithstanding tbe fact of a most disagreeable, rainy evening, there was a good audience to bear the speeches. General Maney's effort wa3 a brilliant one of facts and figures, and plain common sense. Mr. Pope briefly touched upon tbe tariH scale of waeea and the superiority of the American rorkineman over those of any nation on the habitable globe. Toe discussion cf tbe American worklneman was a fair one and much interest was manifested by those in attendance. Jere M. Wilson Speaks to Ills Old Neighbors. Special to tn lndlitnaooli Journal.

Moxticlllo, Oct. C Chaplain J. H. Lozier spoke here last evening, and notwithstanding the rain that was pouring down, the rink was nearly filled. The Chaplain spoke for two hours, and the way he handled "Brother Brooks" aod the third party was highly appreciated by his audience. Qui tea number of Prohibitionists were out to hear him, aod all pronounce his arraignment good. Some have already stated that they could no longer support a party that would put a sneaking rebel on the national ticket, it being bad enough to put up with their secession talk without supporting for oGce a rsnk rebel, and one who even glories in his attack upon the flsg. The Chaplain's campaign eongs fairly captured his audience. Colonel Sajles iu Scott County. Special to the Indianapolis Jvarnas. Scottsburo. Oct 6. This afternoon Colonel Stephen D. Series. Republican candidate for Congress iu the Third district, addressed the people of Scott county at this plsce. On account of threatening rain the crowd was not as large as it would otherwise have been, yet folly five hundred people assembled in the court yard and listened attentively to him. Col.

Y., Oct 6. Something startin gly novel in the political history of this country, and in its legal practice as well, is impending in this eity nothing less, in fact, than an attempt to call the President of the United States into court, aod in a ease involving his own reputatioQ. Motion capers have teen served within the last few days in a libel suit brought by the Rev. Geo. II. Ball, alleged to be the author of "Tell the Truth' and a "Terrible Tale," csncerning Grover Cleveland iu the campaign of 1SS1, agaio't the New York Evening Post Publishing Company. These papers give notice that on Oct 1 the plaintiff will ask the Supreme Court to order a commission to issue to examine Grover Cleveland as to his personal career and make the testimony a part of tbe Rev. Dr. Ball's case against the Post Tbo motion was put over, and will be argned on Monday. The objeet of Dr. Ball ia to prove tbat the Post libelled him by saving that he slandered Governor Cleveland in 1884. To prove this he summons President Cleveland as a witness to bow tbat the ehareee of immoralitr made azainst him then were true, and cot slander. Although tbe law does not compel any man to criminate himself, it is claimed that this is not a criminal case, hot a civil suit for damages. This, the lawyers say, makes a difference.

HAZAIXE'S FIRST WIFE. How She 3Iet m Most Horrible snd Mysterious Death. Stw York Morid. Bat few persons of tbe present feneration are ware tbat the widow of the late ex-Marshal Bazsioe, who died ten days aso in exile at Mad rid, waa only the second wife of tbe disgraced French general. Ilia first wife, who was one of tbe most fscinstine of tnebssycf beautiful women who constituted the entourage of tbe Empress Eugenie, died under terribly tradfieal circumstances in 1S6I. Her husband was away ia Mexico at the time commanding the French troops who we.re eoes red in the hopeless task of maintaining the ill-fated Maxmillian on his tottering throne. ad to relate Mme. laMarecbale, wbo was considerably yooneer than her soldier husband, who bad fought bis way up from the lowest rants of the army to the higheRt, was as frail as she was fair, and took ad vantage of her spouse's absence to misconduct hsrself in the most flagrant manner. Her escapades brought ber into contact with men of the typ of th notorious Pranzini, and one morning in tbe summer of 18G4 her dead body was discovered in a bouse of questionable repute in one of tbe suburbs of Paris. Tbe head waa almost severed from the trunk by a gash across tbe throat and the corpse bad been subjected to terrible mutilations, while the aspet of the room left no doubt as to tbe orgies whlcb baa preceded the crime. Every effort was made by tbe government to keep tbe matter from becoming public, but to no effect, for the news soon leaked out, and in an incredibly short time the newspapers were filled with the most revolting details about tbe whole affair. Bazatne was passionately attached to his lovely wife, aod bis devotion to ber and blind confidence in ber virtue were well known at the Toil lries. Both on public and personal grounds, Napoleon was determined that, at all costs, tbe tews should be gently broken to the marshal. Accordingly be despatched one of bis favorite aids de-camp to Mexico, intrusting him with ft long autotrraph letter, and with the task of communicating? Mm. Bszsine's death to bar husband. At tbe same time be adopted tbe extraordinary measure of laying an embargo on all ships about to sail for Mexican ports, and prevented the disr&tch of toy of tbe ordinary letter or newspaper mail by the steamer which boro his messenger to Bazaine. Unfortunately the vessel was creatly delayed by bad weathor, and it waa not until a week after the day on wbieh he ought to have arrived tbat Napoieon's ait-de-camp reached tbe French headquarters in person and executed bis mission. Bazaine appeared almost broken-hearted and utterly crushed by the news of bis wife's death. But on the following day he happened to light on a Paris paper, which bad found its way into Mexico via tbe United States, and the first thing which met bis eyes was tbe heading of a paragraph entitled, "Aesaseinat de la Marecbale Bazaine." No detail was spared in the account given of her murder and oftall tbe attendant circumstances. Bazaine sever uttered a word, but became terribly pale, and withdrew to his tent, taking the newspaper with him. For the space of three days he remained invisible to all. refusing to eat or drink. Then he issued forth aeain among his troops, and went about his business as if nothing bad happened, nerer by one single word or act referring to bis murdered wife. It waa as if ahe bad never existed. Three months later he met a beautiful Mexican girl, the present Mme. Bazaine, whom he married a few weeks afterwards, and who now survives him. SCOTTISH CROFTERS. Their Lire One of Wretchedness and Misery Without m ParalleL Harper's Magazine. The gray wretchedness of the afternoon was a fit prelude to Barra. When we came to Castle Bay rain waa falling' upon its waters, on tbe battlemented castle, perched upon a rocky, seaweed covered islet, and on the town set against a background of high, bare hills. Bat tbe steamer stopped and we went ashore to look about us. A few ugly new houses, shops with plate-glass windows, often cited as proofs of the island's prosperity, and then the real Barra, a mesa of black cottaees compared to which those of Mull were mansions, those of Kilehrennan palaces running up and down the rocky hillside. Only by a polite fizure of spseeh can the stone pile in whfrh the Hebridean crofter makes his home be called a cottage. It is, as it waa described msny years ago, but "a heavy thatched roof thrown over a few rudely put together stones V The long low walls are built of loose rock blackened by constant rain. The thatched roof, almost as black, is held in place without by a net-work of ropes, within by rafters of drift-wood. The crofter has no wood save that which the eea yields, and yet in some districts he most pay for picking up tbe beams and spars washed up on hia wild shores, just as be must for the grass and heather he cuts from

At Castle Bar, wbere many of these Wnef of misery," as Pennant called them oue hundred years ago, were grouped torether, there was not even the pretense of a street, but just tla rock, rough, rafted and broken, as God made iu The people who lire here are almost all fisher men, and, as if in token of tbeir calling, thef have fashioned the thatch of their roofs into tbe shspe of boats. One cottage, indeed is topped with a genoioe boat. There were a few chimneys, but smoke came pouring from tbe doors, from holes in the thatch and walls. Many of the roofs hid a luxuriant growth ol grass, with here and there a clumo of daisis, or of yellow flowers wbieh give color to High land road-sides. But this was all the green we saw on their hill-side at rock and mud. ; Throuch open doorways we had glimpses ft dark, rloomy interiors, dense with smoke.

Early Days of Lester Wallack. recollections" in October ScrSbuer. I hesitated long before I made up my mind to become an actor; but wherrl finally did so, I determined that I should know my professioa from besinninc to end, and ahould depend upon it for my lole support: and tbe consequence wst tbat my poor mother often cried in those early days, because I would cot let ber send me a five pound cote now aod then, to add to ay weekly atipend of twenty shillings! I was resolved that whatever suceess X might make I would owe to myself, and cot ta my father's name: therefore, as Mr. Latter I played the Earl of Hochester in the town of Koebestcr, in a .comedy called "Charles II," by John Howard Payne. I had a vry good part the second part of the piece. Cbar.es Kenblt was King Charles, Faweett playing Edward and Jones the Earl of Rochester in the original east, atCovent Garden. The season at Kocbestef was a short one, as my uncle Henry Wallack, wbo had taken tbe theater as an experiment bad it for only a few weeks. This was my firs' professional engagement My salary waa still one pound a week; and I waa paid about aa punctually as actors in small companies were at that time. Three pounda a week waa a good salary in a country theater, and five pounds was) enormous. Wbsn we got to tbe larger pro vincial cities aalsries were a little higher, but I very much doubt if any leading actor at Bath. Bristol, Liverpool, or Manchester ever received more than ten pounds a wee in those days. No One Believes Them. CMesco UsiL Certain good people continue to greatly excite themselves over the cock-and bull stories about General Harrison that he said that or that ha thought this and even worthy ministers are wasting valuable time in the pulpit denylnc these absurd bugaboo tales. Why should busy people waste time in reading, listening to, or diseussing these defamatory tales! No one be Ileves then not even their circulators anl tbey are an insult to the intelligence of the people before whom tbey are spread. Even the most rabid Democrat, if properly approached, will admit, no matter how unwillingly, tbat the Republicans have chosen as their candidate a man who is absolutely above reproach in per'scoal conduct or public act. II is a xnodl of s conservative statesman, dignified vnder abuse, and logieal and clear in bis replies.
