The Republican members of both houses held a caucus last night in the rooms of the State Board of Agriculture to discuss tho Linck-Willard affair. Opinions as to the best method of procedure wer6 6oraewhat varied, and many plans wero proposed and considered, but little headway made. After some debate, in which several courses were suggested but none acted upon, the Senators unanimously agreed to withdraw and leave the matter to tho members of the House, it being claimed that it was wholly for them to decide. Tho retirement of the Senators did not, how ever, indicate any lacic or interest in the outcome, but simply a recognition of Liuck's membership in tho House and the fact that his own co-laborers, being nearer him in political position, wero the proper ones to act in his behalf. There seemed also, among the Senators generally a feeling that to . completely ignore the whole aft'air was the best policy, and that while Mr. Linck was not entirely free froin blame for his conduct, yet tho aggravation from the Democratic side was 60 extreme as to greatly reduce its enormity. It was unworthy of notice, they claimed, and to have let tho matter drop then and there would have produced far more pleasant results on all sides. There wero no definite stens taken by the members of the Honso. although immediate and decisive action was advised by many. The proposed withdrawal from the Stato Legislature was not an unpopular plan among many, some favoring a decided stand in that direction. After expressing their disapproval of the rigid measures taken by the Democrats in suspending and fining Mr. Linck, the caucus adjourned without reaching any settled conclusion as to their plans for to-day. There was a universal feeling of indignation among members of both houses, last night, regarding tho severity of Mr. Linck's punishment. While nc ne defended his action in the House by claiming that it was entirely in ordcr.none accused him of a wrong so great as to deserve the treatment he has received. T do not think," said Lieutenant-governor Chase, that he did exactly right in using personal force on Mr. Willard, but I think any man will admit that the cirenmstances under which tho affair occurred were extreme. The error was not all on Linck's part, for tho words used by some of tho Democratic members were not of tho most llattering character. It is my opinion that the best way to have remedied the whole matter would have been to let it drop, but that was not done. Tho punishment inflicted by tho Democratic majority was undoubtedly too severe, and it would not bo human nature for tho Republicans to refuse to retaliate. I am afraid that it Mr. Linck's suspension and lino are not lightened, his friends will feel called upon to resort to some definite measures on their part. Whether or not it will result in a withdrawal from the Legislature 1 am unable to say. If it does, this year's work is about finished." Senator nays, from Putnam, claimed that if Mr. Linck's conduct was beyordthe line of propriety, that of his self-appointed Democratic judges was inlinitely more so. Nor was Mr.. Hays alone in this opinion. It was reiterated, not only by Republicans, but by several Democrats who aro not so tied up to party as to lose sight of all sense of justice. 'The whole blame of the affair." eaid one Democrat at tho capitol last night, 'rests upon Speaker Niblack's shoulders, for had ho been tho right sort of a man for his position the men would have never gone far enough in their discussion to come to blows. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Niblack, but he demonstrated on Wednesday his utter incapacity to occupy the seat of the presiding officer. I find, too, in conversation with friends of my own party, that I am not alone in attributing tho unfortunate outcome of the dispute between Linck and Willard to Niblack's lack of executive ability. The best thing that they can do now, though, is to drop it where it is indeed, that should have been done long before this." Insane Patient Killed by an Attendant. Pontiac, Mich., Feb. 8. Last Sunday Wm. Davis, a patient at the Insano Asylum, was killed by H. K. Taylor, an attendant, and to-day the coroner's jury rendered a verdict that the killing was done in self-defense. The circumstances are these: As Taylor pafed Davis in the hall, with another imbecile, Davis, who was out of humor abont something, struck Taylor in the neck. Taylor left the other man, and grabbed Davis about the waift. They struggled for five rainntes, rst one, then the other, getting the best. When about three feet from a bench, Taylor, as ho says, gave Davis a violent wrench, throwing him across the arm of the bench. His body was twisted over it and held there until help arrived. An examination of the body revealed tho fact that Davis must have been handled in a terrible manner. The breast bone was broken in two, and every rib on one side was broken, except two, aud three were broken twice. The ragged edges of the ribs sawed off the veins and arteries, so that the internal cavities were filled with blood. After the fight tho patient was taken out for a walk and dragged around tho grounds until he said he could go no further. He was then taken back, put to bed, and died in a few minutes. A Sudden Shifting of Wealth. Spokane Falls. Feb. 28. Great excitement prevails at Wallace, Idaho, over the decision of the Secretary of the Interior in the case of Allen vs. Morrill, involving tho validity of title to land located with Sioux half-breed scrip. Wallace was located with this scrip, and a few minutes after the uews was received nt Wallace of the decision, tho entire town was "jumped." The Carter House, tho leading hotel, was tho first property, seized. A meeting was held and a committee appointed to investigate the matter visited tho United States land ofiico in Ceeur d Alene county and found the town had been located with scrip that had been canceled. It was agreed that the parties should retain lots with buildings on them, but no one shouid have more than four lots. Many persons thought to be very rich are begcars, while poor people have jumped into wealth, National Teachers Aasoclatlon. Louis villi:. Ky., lVb. IX Passenger agents of the LouUvillo & Xjishville, tho Chesapeake fc Ohio, the Louisville New Albany fc Chicago, the Tittsburg, Cincinnati, St, Louis, and a number of Western railroads, met here to-day and fixed the fare for tho attendence upon tho National Teachers' Association, which meets in Nashville, in July, at one fare for the round trip, plus two dollars for membership fee.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. He Discusses Tast and Future Politics with a Correspondent of an Eastern Taper. New York, Feb. 28. President Cloveland yesterday gave a long interview to a correspondent of the Herald. As a result of the interview, the correspondent telegraphs the following to the Herald: I havo had a long, and I need not add, a very interesting talk with President Cleveland this morning. It was really a talk, for Mr. Cleveland objects to a formal interview. He preferred to chat in a familiar and friendly way about the various topics which involve the national welfare and then give mo a free pen with which to describe both what I saw and what 1 heard. Mr. Cleveland referred to the last four years and then declared his hope that tho Republican party, ou its accession to power, would pursue no course that could in any way rehabilitate the sectional animosities which have been dying out. I was anxious to know what ho would say of the future prospects of tho Republic I, therefore, led

the conversation to subjects bearing upon j this question. He spoke with the utmost j frankness and said: I am a Democrat, with all the word implies. I am, moreover, an intense Democrat, in that I believe that the truo principles of the Democratic party are essential to the highest well-being of this country. During the war the Reoublican party had supreme and unquestioned control of public policy. No one will question tho service it rendered at that time, but the rank and file of the army was composed largely of Democrats. The genersls who won renown were, also, many of them. Democrats. hue there were among the Republicans a small minority of hot-heads who found fault with the Lincoln administration, and amon g tho Democrats an equal number of fossils whoso timidity was a national misfortune, the great bulk of the people, from east to west, without respect to party amliations, were 6olidly patriotic and ready for any necessary amount of sacrifice for the preservation of our institutions. It is folly to claim that the war was fought by either Republicans or Democrats: it was fought by the American citizens of the North. But it is plain," he said, with great seriousness, 'that under Republican administrations there has been given a fresh and dangerous impetus to monopolies, trusts and combines. Immense fortunes have been accumulated, unknown in the days of our fathers. They are a peculiarity of post-bellum times, and the control which they arbitrarily exercise over tho cost of existence is a direct menace to the welfare of the workingmen and farmers." On my suggesting the race question in tho South, Mr. Cleveland naturally hesitated before answering, because, as ho said, it is the most delicate subject now before the people. Tho South has partly recovered from the effects of tho war. and for twenty years and more has been puttingall its energies into tho soil and into manufactures. It has risen from a condition approachiug ruin to a degree of financial and practical enterprise which renders it. in some industries, n sharp competitor with the North. The sudden and marvelous recovery of the South in industrial intercs t is a fact in which the whole Nation may well take pride. And this feeling of pride would be universal if tho professions so often made of completo reconciliation and a desire to join in a hearty united effort to work out our destiny as a nation aro sincere. The new relatious between the whites and the negroes at the South are gradually arranging themselves." 1 1 must, however, be a work of time and of a long timobefore an entirely satisfactory result can bo reached. While Mr. Cleveland believes that manifest wrongs, either to whites or blacks, should not be tolerated, he has by no means lost confidence in the fair-minded average public opinion of the South to do the best which the circumstances allow. They know the situation iu all its bearings, and to distrust their ability to deal with it is to distrust their sincerity and fairness. When I suggested some question as to the difference between the incoming and outgoing administrations, Mr. Cleveland wasquick with an. answer, evidently, no is in no wise ms ' turbed by the fortunes of political warfare which havo befallen him. Ho is downright gooduatured over his defeat. Tho people alone, he says, have a right to rule the country, and their will is law. There is no appeal from their decision, and there should bo none. What they desire they will have, and ought to have. While the President firmly believes that tho tariff-reform measures which tho Democratic party stands for are for the best interests of the whole peoplo, and while he neither sees nor desires to see the least disposition on the part of tho Democratic arty to recede from tin position which it las taken, ho accepts the result of the election with the placidity of the philosopher, and the calmness which the minority should always possess. The people cannot be deceived by false logio in the long run, however. The workingmen seem already to understand pretty well the question submitted to them at the last election. Mr. Cleveland has no tear that the Democratic policy of an adjustment of the tariff to the wants and circumstances of those of our Seoplo who work for their living, with a ue regard to all other legitimate interests and enterprises, will not ultimately commend itself to the American people. What will help tho people and make thoir burdens lighter is what they will have in the end. and there need bo no fear that they will not discover the way to this end, or that they will fail to attach themselves to the party which consistently and honestly offers them relief. Three St. T.ou Is Men Become Street-Preachers. St. Louis, Feb. 2S. For two years or more three familiar figures have not been seen on the streets of St. Louis, and now comes a strange story about their mysterionB disappearance. They are Col. Celsus Price, his brother Quinius Price, sons of was a warm intimacy between the trio, who devoted considerable time together to psychic research and the explanation of the infinite. Tho three friends had by their long t study of tho mysteries of tho universe, reached a state of exaltation that was absolute belief in the power of tho divine. A near and dear relative of Cob Price, a lady now living and well-known in Missouri Mrs. Willis was compelled to undergo a dangerous surgical operation in New York. The three friends, on their knees at the bedside, registered a vow that if the lady bo spared they would devote the remainder of their lives to the propagation of the holy truths in which they believed, would renounce the world, and work for the spiritual elevation of mankind. The lady lived, and the trio kept their vows. They preached on the 8treetst and were last seen ny a nephew of Cob Price engaged in that calling in Buffalo, N. Y. This is the story told by relatives and near friends, and the prominence of the parties has attracted much attention and comment upon the rare and peculiar occurrence. Confederate Soldiers Home. New York, Feb. 23. G. Oliver Down ing, secretary of tho New York citizens' committee in aid of tho National Confederate Soldiers' Home at Austin, Tex., received today a letter from Major-general J. M. Schofield, of the United States army, in which he expressed his sympathy with the cause, and offered to contribute all in his power to its successful issue. He said the true soldier on the field, as soon as tho fight is over, is ready to share his rations and blanket with his wounded enemy, and much more zealously a patriotic people could relieve the necessities of the old soldiers who have ceased to be enemies, and become trno friends and fellow-citizens. Trying to Kill an Editor. Minneapolis, Feb. 28. White Caps attempted to murder J. P. Smith, editor of the Furnituro News, of this city, to-night, Mr. Smith has been the recipient of fourteen letters, all received since Jan. 27. all signed "White Caps," with the usual skull aud cross-bones, and all threatening summary vengeance unless h should leave the city immediately. The last letter was received last night aud threatened a dose of cold lead unless its demands were complied with fortnwith. Mr. Smith gave no heed to the letters. This evening, while he was sitting in his ofiice, tho door was opened by a man muffled up to the ears in a heavy coat and wearing a broad-brimmed, slouch hat pulled wUl down over his eyes. Without a word, he presented a pistol at Mr. Caith'i head tsA fired. The buUet pierced

the famous confederate uenerai "Bap" Price, and Dr. Sylvester Nidelet, at one time coroner of the city of St. Louis. There

Smith's ear, but being of but 22-calibre, was flattened against his skull. The wouldbe murderer lied, and no trace of him has as yet been found. Tho wounded man apparently experiences little trouble from the wound, but tho doctor says that shock may possiblv huve been inflicted upon the base of the brain which will prove 6-rious. Mr. Smith is at a loss to account for the attack, he having, to his knowledge, no enemies who would wish to take his life. PROCEEDINGS OP CONGRESS. The Senate Clears All the liridge and IUght-of-Way Bills from the Calendar. Washington, Feb. 28. The House amend ment to the Senate bill in regard to the salmon fisheries of Alaska, extending its operation to Behrings sea, having been

presented, to the fcenate, xur. iamunussug- 1 gested that tho amendment raised such a very important and difficult question that ho felt bound to move its reference to tho committee on foreign relations, and after remarks by Senators Hoar and Morgan the bill and amendment were so referred. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of bills authorizing tho construction of railroad aud other, bridges. After spending about ten minutes on that order of business, during which four bills were rassed. the Senate proceeded to tho consideration of executive business, on motion of Mr. Sherman, who said that only a few minutes would bo required to dispose of the matter which he wished and which it was important to have attended to at once. In about ten minutes the doors were reopened, and tho consideration of bridge bills continued. The following were passed: The Senate bill authorizing the Midland Railroad Company to build a bridge over White river at Aberdeen, Ark.; tho House bill for a bridge across the Missouri t river near Leavenworth, Kan.; the House bill for bridges across the Kentucky river (with amendments: the Senate bill for a bridge across the Illinois river from apoint within five miles of Columbiana to a point within five miles of Kampsville, I1L; the House bill to annrove and ratify the construction of tho bridge across the Red river at Shreveport. La., and of the bridge across the Ouachita river at Monroe, La.; tho House bill to amend the act for a bridge over the Missouri river near St. Charles.

Missouri: the House bill for a railroad, wagon and footnassencer bndiro across the Mississippi river near Lyons, la.

Ala.; the Houso bill to authorize the Natchitoches Railroad Com pany to construct a bridge across the Red river, Louisiana; the Senate bill granting rl crh t nf xcaxr tn the Forest Citv &, Watertown Railroad Company through the Sioux Indian reservation; the Senate bill granting right of way through Leach Lake and White Karth Indian reservation to the Duluth & Winnipeg Railway Company; tho Senate bill granting right of way to the Cherokee Central Railway Company through the Indian Territory; the Seua to bill irrantine right of way to tho Jamestown &. Northern Railway Com pany through the Devil's Lake Indian reservation in Dakota; the House bill granting to tho Wyoming Midland Railway Company the right of way through tho Wind River or Shoshono Indian reservalrtr witli nil nniAtwl mPtif All tho bridiro aud richt-of-wav bills on the calendar having been disposed of, tho posiomce appropriation uiu was lusen tup and nassed. with amendments, the only imDortant ono of which was a provision that there shall not be allowed for tho use of any third-class postoflice for rent a sum in excess of $400; nor for fuel and lights in ex cess of StX) in ono year. Mr. Vest, from tho committee on com merce, reported the Senate bill to authorize the Dnluth. Red Wine &, Southern Railroad Comnanv to construct a railroad and .wagon bridge across tho Mississippi near Red Wing, Minn., and on motion ot Mr. Sahin it was taken uo and "Passed. The Senate then resumed consideration of tho two House amendments to tho bill to amend tho interstate-commerce act, tho pending question being Mr. Sherman's mo tion to agree to the amendment in relation to the transportation of petroleum. After a long debate Mr. Sherman's motion was tabled, and the Senate insisted on its disagreement to the two House amend ments, and a further conference was ordered. The Senate then went into executive ses sion. At 6 o'clock tho doors wero opened and tho legislative business resumed. A conference was ordered on the naval appropriatiou bill, and Senators Hale. Farwell and Gorman wero appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. Conference renorts on the armv annronriation bill, on the fortification bill and on the bill to withdraw certain public lauds from private entry wero presented and agreedto. The Senate then took a recess until 8:30 p. M. At the evening session the time was con sumed in endeavoring to secure a quorum, but without success, and at 9:G0 the Senate adjourned. Miscellaneous Business In the Ifouse. Washington, Fob. 28. The Speaker having laid before the House the Senate bill for protection of the sal mon fisheries in Alaska, Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, offered an amendment di recting tho President to cause one or more United States vessels to cruise in Behring sea and other Alaskan waters, and seize all vessels found to be unlawfully engaged in seal hunting. Mr. Dunn explained that the sole object of tho amendment was to enforce existing laws. Heretofore tho en forcement of tho law had been relaxed so that a number of persons had concluded that the government did not propose to en force tho law, and to-day no less than 150 vessels were htted up to go to Berings Sea. and would cover tho waters with unlawful seal hunters. The amendment was adopt ed and the bill nassed. Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, moved tho passage of the Senate bill for the erection of a public building at Kalamazoo. Mich. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, said that until the Sullivan contested election case was considered it was not only an unseemly proceeding, but it was an absolute disgrace for the House to consider public building measures. He commenced to make a speech on the 6ubiect, but Mr. Oates raised a point of order that during the consideration of a public building bill a desultory argument on the election case could not be proceeded with. The Speaker held that while it was in order for Mr. Bland to show that the election case should be considered, it was not in order for him to speak of the merits of the case. The Kalamazoo bill was then passed. It appropriates 75,000. On motion of Mr. Ermentroutt of Pennsylvania, the Speaker was authorized to appoint a committee of three members to cooperate with a similar committee on tho part of the Senate to take charge of the arrangements for the inaugural proceedings at the Capitol. The Houso then proceeded to the consideration of a motion submitted by Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, directing the Houso conferees on the district of Columbia appropriation bill to recede from their disagreement to the Senate amendment providing for a "Zoo" in tho District of Columbia. Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, offered an amendment to Mr. Dibble's motion so as to direct the House conferees to recede from their disagreement to the amendment, and to agree to the same with an amendment appropriating 1,000.000 for the purchase of not less than 1,000 acres for a national nark. Mr. Hemphill's amendment was lostyeas, 0D; nays, 131 and Mr. Dibble's motion, instructing tho House conferees to recede, was agreed to yeas. 131; nays, 0. A further conference on th bill was then ordered. Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, presented the conference report on the agricultural appropriation bill, and explained how the differences between the two houses in relation to sugar experimentation, had been adjusted. The report was agreed to. Mr. Culberson, of Texas, submitted tho conference report on the bill to change the Kastern and Northern judicial district of Texas, and it was agreed to. Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, from the committee oniaval aiiairs, reported the naval

After a lone debate, the Senate amend ments to the bill were considered. Mr. Herbert moved to concur in tlie Senate amendment appropriating $100,000 for the construction of a building for use by the naval torpedo station and war college on Goat island. Agreedto. The other recommendations of the committee on naval affairs were agreed to and the bill was sent to conference. Mr. Holmes, of Iowa, called up as a privileged question the Des Moines river land bill vetoed by the President, pending which Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, presented various conference reports upon bills for the establishment of sundry light-houses and lights, and they were agreed to. Mr. Steele, of Indiana, submitted the conference report on tho bill for the relief of certain volunteer soldiers of the late war and of the war with Mexico. Agreed to. Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, submitted a conference report on the bill authorizing tho construction of a high wagon bridco across the Missouri river at tiioux City, la Agreed to. Mr. Feel, of Arkansas, submitted m a conference report on the bill to divido the Sioux Indian reservation in Dakota. Agreedto. Then Mr. Holmes ngain called up the Des Moines bill, and Mr. Crisp raised the question of consideration, pending which the Houso took a recess, the evening session to be devoted to the consideration of rosolutious relative to the acceptance of the Cass and Muhlenberg statues and business relating to the District of Columbia. At the evening eesf :on, Mr. Erraentrout, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution, which was adopted without any addresses being delivered, accepting in the name of the Isation the statues of General Muhlonburg and Kobert Fulton, presented by tho State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Chipman, of Michigan, presented a similar resolution, accepting the statue of Lewis Cass, the gift of the State of Michigan. After addresses by Messrs. Chipman, Randall. O'Donnell. Cutcheon.

Mr. Townsheud, cf Illinois, submitted tho conference report on the army approSriation bill, and it was agreed to. The ouso then, at 10:15, adjourned. Hdgerton iu Bad lluuior. Washington Post. Judge Edgerton is still in the city, probably looking with some interest to the time when tho next President will reorganize tho Civil-service Commission. Incidentally thft jude is not pushing the nomination of Mr. Thompson for immediate confirmation, though lie visits the houses of Congress with the regularity of a member. On an average he answers the inquiry: "When are you going to leave the cityt" two hundred times a day. This has somewhat ruffled the usual good humor cf tho judge, who believes that there is no law to compel a citizen who is out of olUee aud does not want one to leave the city as soon as his official connection is severed. T have stayed away from Washington thirty years at a time," says the Judge, and on the strength of that record I think I am entitled to stay hero as long as I can pay my board bill." Keal Dow' Admission. New York Evening Post. Neal Dow makes an amazing confession as to tho failure of prohibition in Maine, iu a recent letter to tho Lewiston Journal. 'For more than twenty years," he savs. I havo been to every Legislature in Maine, often with hundreds of petitions, asking for such amendments to the law as would make it thoroughly effective. These efforts have always failed, and the grogshops keep on pretty much as thev did twenty years aeo." Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Nebraska, which are going to vote upon the question of prohibition amendments to the Constitution, aud any other States which may bo thinking of such a course, should heed this warning from tho great apostle of prohibition in the commonwealth where it has been longest tried. Woman Vindicated at Iast. Troy (N. Y. ) Times. For thirty years Mrs. John Lind, of New York city, has been looking under her bed for a man, and Friday night she found one there. He was turned over to the police, charged with burglarious intentions. Tho name he trave was Joseph Ihibylon. Once more has ISabylon fallen. And the woman who looks under the bed is vindicated. Dlsmarck's Method of Apologizing:. Baltimore American. Bismarck is angry at the German consul's proposal to annex Samoa, and his explanations are so ample that it requires a whole squadron to convey them to the insulted island. Ho knows that prompt apologies are polite, consequently, he sends a licet declaration of his Pacific policy. A Lack of Sympathy. Peoria Transcript. It is understood that Mr. Bailey of Indiana, and Mr. Condon, of llloomington, did not celebrate the anniversary of Washington's birth. The man who could not tell ,f a- l. . a, II a lie was so ainerent, arcuiieciurauy, irora these two gentleman, that their souls refused to sympathize. An Advance In Quotations. Pittsburg Ctronicle. There has been a lull in the wife market for several months, no sales having been reported in the papers. To-day, however, we learn that a German resident of Penfield, in this State, has bought a wife for $120. This is quite an advance over the last quotations. s An Appropriate Jlonuinent. St. Louia Globe-Democrat. Referring to the Arkansas project for a monument in memory of the late CoL John M. Clayton, we venture to suggest that the most appropriate ono would be a gallows, with the cowardly assassins of that excellent man securely attached to it. Tlie Paragrapher'i Opportunity. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. It is nonsense about that alleged earthquake in Indiana. The rumbling aud shaking was merely the settling dowu of the State to its normal condition after tho departure of the President-elect. Stronger In Death. Utica CN. Y.) Herald.

'KICHAEDS. 77 South Illinois St., Indianapolis, Ind. Chpihz Fl::i MOST NUTRITIOUS. HOW THEY TREATED UIM The Unsatisfactory Experience of an Indiana Democrat in Texas. Chicago Inter Ocean. A Chicago gentleman hands The Inter Ocean a letter from a prominent Indiana man who two years ago stumped ludiaua for the Democratic ticket, but the ill health of his wife made it necessary for hiui to remove to a warmer climate, so he went to Coreicana, Tex. The extracts from the letter published below show how this Indiana Democrat was received in Texas: CoitSiCAN'A, Tex, Feb. 21. B. M. Butler. Esq. In the month of September last year we lived in Kichmoud, Ind. My wife suffered so much from asthma that I was afraid she would die, so we hurried down to this warm country. After I came here I was examined and received a teacher's license. The schools in this city were then in session, and all the school in the country were engaged except those in two districts. I went to the trustees in ono of the districts and was employed to teach the school for which 1 applied. Tho school-house is about twenty miles from the city. This is a place of about 10.000 inhabitants, aud a Northerner is afo in the limits of the city. I heard before I commenced teaching that there was a prejudice (in the couutry) against Northern people, but I did not think there was so much intense rebel hatredof Northern men. About the time I was employed, or near tho time when I commenced teaching, 1 was asked what State 1 was from. I did not want to lie, 60 1 answered that I was from Indiaua. 1 suppose the news was spread from one to another until, I suppose, about all tho parents of tho school children knew that I was from tho North. But the peoplo where I boarded, and some few that 1 got acquainted with, appeared civil and nice, and I felt easy and comfortable iu my mind while at school, unless when drunken men were in the road near tho house. I felt moderately safe, when lo and behold! one morning I found a letter on the front door-sill at the school-house. In tho letter I was warned to leave in ten days (with an implied death penalty if I did not leave.) It was one of tho most vindictive aud savage notices that I ever saw. I boarded with an old. infirm man named Isham A. Smith. His sou Albert, a widower, who was a patron of the school, lived with him, and was principal farm hand. 1 took the notice to Albert, and he advised me to pay no attention to it. He said thev lth ruffians, or desperadoes) would not bother them at nigut, etc.; or words to that effect, so I kept on teaching a number of davs, but it 60 happened that Albert got to talking to some of the neighbors, and ho became alarmed and thought there was danger to me and to their family also. Ho said my enemies might shoot into their houso meaning at night aud his father, tho owner of tho place, signed the following notice to me: TlGAn Ridge, Feb. IB, 1639. Professor Morgan Dear Sir: fclnce you have received the notice you received some days frlnce, I do not choose to board you any lonprer, although I consider you a gentleman in every respect, aud an honorable teacher, so far as 1 1 now. 4,l a. eMim He also eaid that ho had no idea that I could get board at any other place in tho neighborhood. What ffw friends I had seemed to be afraid to take my part (evea in words) for fear the desperate ruffian would injure them. What was I to do but to leave, which I did. I could not light a dozen to forty meu (at night time also) ami they disguised. I have not got other em ploymcnt yet. As to Monte Carlo Suicides. London Truth. Last week I took tho liberty to question the truth of the double suicide of a bride and a bridegroom at Monte Carlo in consequence of their having lost the money on which they were about to commence mar ried life. This. 1 understand, is the story: M. A., a married man, ran away with Mme. B., a married lady. They went to Monte Carlo with a small sum of money, intending to earn a largo one and then bctako themselves to America, iu order to livo there untroubled by Mme. A. and M. B. But they lost, and having no money to take them across tho Atlantic thev determined to kill themselves, which they did. To me there is nothing more absurd than these tales of suicides after the loss of fortune at Monte Carlo, for they are invariably invented by Kiviera journalists, cither in the interests of the other Uiviera watering places or in the hopes that they may be paid by the casino to restrain in future their inventive Keuius. It may be desirable, or the reverse, that there should be a public gambliug establishment at Monte Carlo. For the good people of Nice to rail at it is perfectly conceivable, but it is a little too absurd for them to base their protests upon moral grounds, as there is lust as much public gambling at tho one place as the other, the only difference being that at Nice the probabilities are that the viM. tor is cheated, whereas at Monte Carlo the play is fair. Daniel Lamout'a Novel Step. Pittsburg Dispatch. Colonel Lamont has introduced a novelty in politics by refusing the back pay which Coutrress obligingly voted to cover tlm whole of his expiring term. He does so on the ground that he accepted a position, th salary of which was fixed by law and he doMi not wish to take more than the stipulated sum. This is rather good reasoning, but it is by no means certain that it will in crease the Private Secretary' popularity rmong the statesmen. It presents a contrast, you know; and the theory has been promulgated that since tho Constitution Kiys that public otlicials shall receive" such compensation ar, Congress may fix, they would be violating the Constitution not to take it. It is certainly contrary to the unwritten law of the politicians, and is likely to get Colouel Lament clashed among tho impraeticablo mugwumps. But what he loses among the politicians he will gain among the people. Putting More EuerjT' Into Chicago. Chicago Tribune.
