THE DAILY NEWS. SATURDA Y, hOVBMBSB 82, 1««. Since her war with Germany, France has spent $100,000,000 in re-arming her•elf. Ouray Raya the Mormons have been instigating the White river uprising, and expects to prove it. Ouray is a smart Indian. . This visiting statesmen of Maine—the republicans who assembled at the capital to “see a fair count”—are going home to await the action of the supreme court. The council refused to be influenced, and will take their own time to do the work. When that work is announced it will be time enough to pasa judgment upon it. They have been warned, and if they really contemplate wrongdoing they must stand the Consequences. The ending of the trade-mark laq; by the recent decision declaring it unconsti.tutional, it is feared will make much confusion, as there are over eight thousand trade-marks, covering all kinds of trade. The ultimate consequences are thought to be more disaetrous than the immediate, as houses have now no protection for their goods, and in their name inferior articles will be sold to the people, who are likewise powerless to distinguish the genuine from the counterfeit. .

Some of the candidates of the workingmen’s parly in San Francisco, at the last election, pledged themselves to pay into ihc city treasury part of the salary of the offices for which they were running, if elected. This pledge influenced Voters And the men making it were elected. The county court has held that the pledge to leturn part of the salary of an office to the city, was in effect using the money to promote the election of the candidate and was illegal. The supreme court is to pass Upon this, and thereby hang the hopes of the Kearney ites to office. If the deci ion is not reversed they are “out.” The Chicago chief of police has opened War on the street-walkers. He records his opinion that “raids” are productive of more harm than good, although he says nothing of their shamelessness; being no more nor less than foraging expeditions after spoils, little removed from the level of blackmailing. Eut his war on the street walkers stands on another plane, and is worthy of imitation. His declaration that “prostitutes must keep off the streets except to walk them as decent people do,” ought to find an echo everywhere, and if the energy that is expended in {•’bleeding” expeditions on those of this class who keep themselves secluded, were directed toward clearing the streets of those who ply Aheir calling thereon in violation of all law and decency and to the insult of decent people,there would be a measurable (lettering of things. The News has already called attention to the amount of street walking there is in this city. It ia presumably less in cold weather than warm ) but so far as recollection goes there has been no attempt at stopping it although these creatures have been seen acosting men within plain view of a policemen. The “raide” here are confined to “running In” one or two of the lowest of the “wandering” class now and then, and to the periodical “pulling” of establishments well table to pay fines at long range,and recuperate quickly. No w, os the one hsnd we have the Terre Haute Gazette, and on the other the Lafayette Dispatch; in the throes of indignation at the News for its condemnation of the supposed returning board outrage She democrats in Maine are expected to perpetrate. Both take particular exception to the sentence “If the democrats consummate this outrage they might as well abstain from the trouble and expense of going through a national election next year,” and with one voice want to know why that which is a mortal ain in democracy should be but a pecadillo in republicanism. Where are our fires of wrath lor the republican rape of three states by the same means the democrats now propose to- steal jone? wail these moral engines of the Wabash. For answer we can aay, they rose in due seasonand we don’t propose to make the present bonfire any the Mm hot because others in time past deserved roasting. It. ia and has been this paper’s constant purpose to brand gooundreliana wherever it sees it, unde-

terred by any pleas that bigger scoundrels have got away. It ia the bird in the hand we are after, and we art sick of the lamentations about its being aacrifioed because there are two more in the bush of another political feather better worth gunning for. We will attend to this political fowl in Maine juat now, and keep the powder dry for the next one that rises, no matter which party he flocks with.

Hagro Immigration. The Indianapolis News is making a studied effort to keep on the fence on the real questions that divide the republican and democratic parties, and for all practical purposes might as well be on thesideof thelatter. Its attempt to arouse the fears of republicans so as to prevent them from extending a helping hand to poor colored immigrants is despicable, and its treatment of the question,‘which rises to the level of involving the welfare of an entire race, is unfair. No republican, if he wishes to remain a republican, will allow himself to be guided by that paper.--[Greencastie Banner, The Indianapolis News has been furnished to the Greencastle Banner far ten years, and if the editor of that paper doee not know by this time that The Indianapolis News is not in the habit of mounting fences or concealing its opinion* on any subject, it is a poor reflection upon bis intclligncc. The Indianapolis News is a paper which always tries to give the news fairly and to tell the truth about it. under the impression that people have some mind and can form opinions for themselves when they know the facta. If republicans are only to be kept republicans by maintaining their ignorance, they had better read nothing, not even the Greencastle Banner. The editor of that paper just now is very much interested in the matter of negro immigration to this state. He suggested it a year or more ago, and has advocated it constantly, arguing at first, if we are not mistaken, that it would make the state reliably republican. He is actively working to induce immigration to this state in a way that does credit to his heart, if not to his head, but he has wrought himself up to such a pitch that he sees but one side and denounces bitterly and unfairly any one whom he thinks does not agree with him fully. The cause of his ire against The Newa, we suppose, is the following paragraph; If the republican managers want to lose Indiana beyond all possibility of recovery, they have only to encourage the belief m negro emigration to this state. This may not be flattering to the intelligence or justice of the people, but it is a fact. If Mr. Langsdale has read The News as he should have done before he made any such remarks about it, he ought to know that it has steadily favored the colored exodus; that it has believed they were oppressed as laborers,and has upheld their right to go where they could do better; that it has contended that a change in the labor market of the south, such as an exodus would make, would be a benefit to all sections. Furthermore, if these emigrants choose to come to Indiana well and good. There is room here for all self respecting people who are endeavoring to better themselves whether their skins are black or white, ami we can not conscientiously approve of emigration to Kansas and condemn emigration to Indiana, though legitimate emigration is one thing and colonization is another. So much for the opinions of The News. • The paragraph republished above is the statement of an absolute fact. It is no opinion of ours. Governor Hendricks a few weeks ago charged that , the republicans were attempting to colonize negro voters • in this state for the purpose of carrying it. This cry has been taken up by democrats everywhere. We do not believe there is any foundation for it; it seems to us absurd, but none the less is it believed. And none the less will it work in their favor if it is believed. There is an overwhelming prejudice against the negro in this state, and it is not confined to any one party. It is deep-seated in the minds of the people,and the infamous black laws are still a part of our constitution. Now let the idea once become fixed that negroes are being brought into this state to vote and to displace labor, and there will be a protest against it that will not be confined to the democratic party. This is an undeniable fact. As we said in that very paragraph, “This may not be flattering to the intelligence or justice of the people, but it is a fact.” This prejudice appears on every occasion when there is any collision between the races. A few weeks ago the school board of this city used one room in a white school building for negroes. The hours of recess were different, the whites and blacks could not come into contact unless it were as they went to and from school, yet a storm of wrath was awakened, and in the protest that was made the republicans were if anything louder than the democrats. So it has been in every similar case in this city and township, and there have been several, In the very Banner containing his condemnation of us, Mr. Langsdale copies the lengthy remarks of a shrewd correspond*ent of the Cincinnati Gazette, who reaches the same conclusion stated in our paragraph. Now if this statement of facta is being “on the fence,” and “despicable,” we confess that our ideas of honest journalism are sadly mistaken. It does not seem nearly so despicable as to totally misrepresent the opinions and position of a contemporary, because he mentions a fact which be did not make and which he can not affect, though it may be deprecated as much by him as it is by us.

. OUKUENT OOaUNLKXT. The reception of Bob Toombs’s “death to the union” declaration in the south is the best evidence of the healthful sentiment- there. We bare already published several comments upon it from the southern press. The Atlanta Constitution remarks editorially: “General Toombs is about the only man in the south who hasn’t had his bellyful of war. But, Lord bless you 1 fighting is merely fun for some people. General Toombs will go to war in a palace car next time. the contest for the chairmanship of the republican national committee is waste-work, except perhaps as influencing the choice of a

city in which to hold the convention the chairman will herein bate nothing to do. The committee which will manage the campaign will be a new one chosen aft« the ticket is nominated next year. The American health association has voted to continue the present national board of health, and adjourned to meet at New Orleans next November^ We believe that General Grant U honest and patriotic. We hope that, if re-elected to the presidency' he would make a cleaner and more conservative administratian than before, but there is nothing in his record as president to recommend him as a strong candidate for bis party, or as a wise magistrate to again be the htad of the republic.—[ Boston Herald. Those who want a “strong man” for president. can find the greatest strength where lies the greatest honesty. They who want a clean man can find him in the man against whom even his enemies have nought to say. It would be a good thing for the United Slates if providence should send u§ a race of presidents as patriotic and pure as the race of senators who have made the name of Bayard synonymous with all that is redeeming in politics.—[Boston Pilot. „ The change of political opinions now distinctly discernible in the independent movement at the south is one of the manifestations of the national life phat will be stronger and better when organized Bourbonism has been “dissolved into the infinite azure of the past.”—[Chicago Times. The plain meaning of all this is a determination that the settlement of the war shall be maintained; that this is a nation and not a confederacy, held together by ropes of sand: that the constitutional amendments are valid and must be enforced and obeyed. These are the principles that Grant represents, and it is because he represents these principles, and is known to be an earnest man, that the people now turn to him as tfieir leader.—[Cincinnati Gazttee. Crimes and Accidents. P. K. Barger, chief clerk of John Jermyn, an extensive coal operator of the Scranton region, is on embezzler to the amount of $60,0CO. John Skinner, while walking on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, near Zanesville, Ohio, was struck by a train and instantly killed. The coroner’s jury in the Wymon case, at Passaic, New Jereey, find that the old gentleman was murdeied by his son, Homer, and that the latter's wife was accessory to the crime. The premature discharge of a blast in a Deadwood mine caused the death of Joseph G. Conkrfte and ihe serious wounding of John Malson and John Galabraski. Mrs. Buckminster, of Chicago, shot herself fatally yesterday morning. She has been a victim of morphine, and her husband deprived her of the drug. Edward C. Palmer, late president of the Louisiana Savings bank, has been indicted again for making false entries in the books of the bank, with intent to deceive the stockholders and depositors as to the condition of the institution. He was bailed in $10,000. A She-Devil [New York Tribune.! The warden of the state prison at Bangor, Maine, recently related a curious story. A young woman who served out a sentence of five years found means of education, and becoming thoroughly reformed and a Christian, left the prison in appearance a lady. She was employed by a dry goods firm in Portland as saleswoman, and gave perfect satisfaction to her employer, tiU one day a wealthy lady of the place entered the store and recognized her. Calling the proprietor ande, she told him that the girl had been in the state prison. He replied that he knew it, but that she had done her duty faithfully, and that they were all satisfied with her. “Well,” said the lady, “if you keep her in your store, I will neither trade with you myself nor suffer any of my friends to, if I can help it.” So the proprietor, rather than 1 se his customer, called ia the poor girl and discharge d her. More Effects of Dad Reading. Two youths, sons of wealthy and influential parents at London, Ont., a few days ago, absconded for the purpose of seeking their fortune, but were overtaken at Clifton and brought back. They had stolen between them about $150, with which, and extra clothing and revolvers, they intended to buy a ship and become pirates. They had bought no less than nine revolvers. One hundred dollars of the stolen money was, however, found on them. The boys are aged about twelve years, and imbibed their ideas of life from the pernicious novels of the period. Railroad Newa. The Central Pacific railway has paid into the United States treasury $<>09,080, which settles up all accounts to December 31. Thomas L. Kimball, of the Kansas Pacific railroad has been appointed general passenger agent, and D.E. Cornell assistant passenger and ticket agent of this road, vice Peter B. Groot, who has accepted the general European agency of Ihe Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific companies. The sale of the Kentucky division of the St. Louis and Southeastern railway to the L. and N. company has been confirmed. Whiaky Selling in Monroe County.

WASHINGTON MATTERS, A Woman of the Jackson Bra—**30,000 for a Rooster Office Holder—Demoaetrattou at tbs Carolling of the Thomae Status. [Correaponoeace ol The Indianapolis Newa.] • WaguiNGTos, November 20. One of the links connecting the present with the past in Washington was severed in the death of Mr?. Eaton. She was older than the newspapers represented her—having attained the age of eighty-seven. In the many and varied accounts I have seen published of her remarkable career, none have mentioned the following incident with which she was connected. Timberlake, her first husband, was parser in the navy, and committed euLidc in consequence of reports reaching him derogatory to the character of bis wife. Lientenant Randolph, nephew of him of Roanoke, first communicated to TimberUke the evil news, and became Timberlake’s successor as purser of the vessel to which they were both attached. The vessel was in foreign waters at the time of Tauberlake’s suicide, and on its return to the United States Randolph was summoned before a court of inquiry to answer a charge of misappropriating the ship’s fnnds. Ho was acquitted, but Mrs. Eaton was determined on vengeance. Jackson, who had espoused her cause against his cabinet, the foreign ministers and the scrupulously virtuous society of Waehington, dismissed Randolph from the navy by the assumption of arbitrary power. It was now Randolph’s time for revenge, and he took it in tweaking Jackson’s nose while on a Potomac river steamer at Alexandria. For this audacity, his friends were obliged to secrete him in order to save him from the fury of Jackson’s friends. He was finally arrested for assault, but no witnesses could be found But nis personal friends, and these refusing to appear against him he was discharged. Randolph long enjoyed the reputation of being the only man who ever had courage enough to attack Old Hickory in retaliation for injuries received. P*ggy O’Neal was a giddy girl witho it education or much sense, out plenty of boldness supplemented by reasonably good look ’. These characteristics cropping ont in corresponding actions, caused her first husband’s death by his own hand and kept her second spouse in continual political and social turmoil. Her flightiness did not forsake her when, a widow for the second time, she married an Italian adventurer and gave him the opportunity, which he at once embraced, to reduce her from affluence to poverty, and throw her for support on the earning of two grandchildren employed in the executive department. SUDDSX WEALTH. A gentlemen who has much to do with business connected with-the second assistant posmaster general’s office told me in confidence some days ago, that General Brady had made a quarter of a million dollars in New York since July, speculating in stocks. “How has he managed it?” I asked. “Well, you see, Brady has beeu very attentive to business ever since his connection with the postoffice and has not taken extended leaves of absence. Now he has combined most qt bis leaves in one and spent much of his time in New York posting himself. Brady is a good deal smarter man than he gets credit for. He looks wise, at times, like an owl, but he is thinking actively when he appears most stupid and owlish. Anybody who wakes Brady up from his apparent stupor, thinking he is a fcpl, will find himself mistaken. He is a shrewd, sharp, cuaning.Jnicely calculating mafi.” “VViUbehavq discretion enough to quit new after doing so well in speculation?” “I am afraid not. I have watched these things many year?, .and I don’t know of an instance in which a man quit speculating after he had acquired a competency. I hope Brady’s case may prove an exception.” I should not have mentioned the foregoing conversation but for the fact that I see the general has been credited with $100,000 in some of the papers, and I want him to have thqbenefit of the other $150,000. THE THOMAS STATUE CEREMONIES. Yesterday and to-day the city has beenthronged with people from all parts of the country, drawn here by the ceremonies attending the unveiling of the equestrian siatue erected in honor of Gtfn. George H. Thomas. The display in the procession yesterday was very imposing. A notable feature was ihe presence of Virginia military companies, Richmond, Norfolk and Alexandria being represented. The Richmond Blues, commanded by a son of Henry A. Wise, date their organization in 1793, and wear uniform that was adopted at that time—navy blue trimmed with white, and white hats surmounted by while plumes. They carried iheir state flag, but not the national colors. They were in the confederate service, from the beginning until the end—were the last to surrender at Appomattox. Like their almost deified leader—Lee—they made the mistake of placing- their state before their country. George 0. Thomas was a Virginian, too, but he avoided the error into which Lee fell, and history will assign him a higher niche in the temple of fame than will be accorded the confederate chieftain. But w hatever the mistakes of the great have been, the presence of ex-confederate soldiers on an occasion designed for the especial honor of a distinguished union general marks an era of good feeling and reconciliation at which all patriots should rejoice. Every demonstration manifesting itself on either side of the line once separating the blue from the gray should be encouraged until all bitterness and animosity is obliterated. This is but one country, and the nation a j?reat family in which all should dwell in peace and concord. The time is not far distant w hen such will be the case—when there will be as much cordial union between the north and the south as there is between the east and ^ne wist. Seif interest, if no more noble influence, will keep in action the feeling that will bring abont this result. THE STATU*. The de?icn for the pedestal on which the statue rests was drawn by John W. Smithmejer, formerly of Indianapolis, and the woik was executed under his direction, congress, in 1876, having made an appropriation of $25,000 for the purpose. This appropriation also covers the expense of four bronze candelabra and the cartouches which adorn the sides of ]he pedestal. The material used in the pedestal is Maine granite. I should add here that Mr. Smithmeyer also had charge of the decorations of “Victoria Circle”—that being the name of the piece of ground on which the statue stands— receiving its name from the circjmstance that on this spot 800 guns were fired on the evacuation of Petersburg, and 200 on the surrender of Lee. The decorations represented the thirty-eight states. The names of the generals belonging to the army of the Cumberland, who were killed or died in the service were interwoven with the decoration?, as were those of the commanders of the army corps and divisions. The names of the battles in the war with Mexico, and the war of the rebellion, in which General Thomas participated, were entwined with garlands of victory. The statute is made of condemned bronze cannon donated by congress. The expense of the design and casting, amounting to $40,000, was defrayed by the army of the Cumberland. The design'is by J. Q. A. Ward, and the work by Bureau Brother? and Heaton, of Philadelphia, who have executed the work on all the equestrian statues recently erected in this city. It stands fifteen feet high from the base to the head of the rider, and is the same in length from the nose to the tail of the horse. The weight of rider and* horse is 5,300 pounds, and the bronze base on which they stand 2,209 pounds. The statue represents the general as having stopped his horse on the summit of a slight rise in the ground to make an observation, and he sits with his hat and one glove in his right- hand gazing over the field. Hdrse and rider are erect and show the eagerness which a first view imparts. The rider’s doublebreasted coat is buttoned to the chin—one skirt falling over his right leg and the other blown back to his side. The horse’s mane and tail are tossed by the wind. The face of the general is expressive, his head finely moulded with a compressed jaw fndicatiag firmness. The entire contour of man and horse is very natural and life-like—more so than any similar work of art which has preceded it in Washington. Baktox.

An amusing discovery has just been made at the town halls of several French villages of plaster busts of the republic, which are nothing else than former busts of the Empress Eugenie, slightly altered hr the addition of a bundle of corn ears in the hair, and a Phryg. ian cap or some other republican attribute. It seems that an, enterprising firm of plastercast merchants having purchased at discount, shortly after the 4th of September, 1870, all the effigies of the ex-empress which were on the market, have, by making these judicions alterations, succeeded in disposing of their

wares with considerable profit.

Dallas, in Texas, has a cosmopolitan population. The patient on the first bed as you enter the city hospital is a negro, the next a Swede, the third bed is occupied by an Englishman, followed by one in which a son of the Emerald isle swears away the hours as he discusses what he claims is the tyrannical rule of the English government. The fifth bed is occupied by an American,who seconds the Irishman’s arguments, declaring that a republican form of government is the best under the sun. A Hebrew occupies the sixth bed, and listens to the others quarrel. Next is a Polander and last a Russian. A few days ago a Mexican was discharged from this

A landed proprietor, and kind and sympathizing person, but at the same time curioosly absent-minded, called on a tenant and was asked to condole on the death of a valuable cow—a very valuable cow.

The last words of the narrative were, “And, can you believe it, sir? when we opened her, we found she had been choked by a large turnip that was sticking in her gullet.” At that point the sympathetic but abeent minded landlord woke np, and said, in rather a congratulatory tone of voice, too, “Ah yes, and so you got your turnip.”— [Boston Courier.

lowing conversation took place, in the coarse of which I think you will agree Vith me that the reverend gentleman had the best of it. “When are you going to leave us, Mr. ?” asked the general. “Oh, about the fame time that you do yourself, I suppose,” meekly answered the parson. “Oh, I don’t know so much about that,” said Sir Evelyn, “for I want your tent and I can’t spare your rations much longer.” “Ah I but I want my tent myself general, though I don’t want spare rations.” “Yes, but you know mine is the ‘Flying column,’ and I can’t be expected to fly with a lot of parsons hanging on to my ceat tails.” “Well, general, all i can say is that if ^ou call seven miles and and a half a 3*7 I think I shall be able to keep up with you”—this a facer. “That’s all very well,” said the general, a little nettled, “but I hear now that there’s a Roman Catholic chaplain about to join us, and if he doee I declare I’ll pot him in your tent” “If you do I daresay I shall have sufficient strength to put him out again,” meekly observed the parson, and so the interview ended.

JAY GOULD. Tho Railway TnsaeaettoM St One off AaaorIco's Moat Remarkable Mea—Ckaaaetrrtotlee at Wall Street's Kiag. [Boston Herald.| The recent stupendous transactions of Mr. Jay Gould, in one of which he draw his check for $3,800,000, have made him again the wonder and admiration of business and railroad men thronghout tha country. Physically, he is comparatively a pigmy. Mentally, ha is a giant He Is a man of wonderful business capacity, and the oool manner with which he hstena to the Vtories of the scores of people who throng his office daily, and the deliberation and yet the celerity with which he dispatches the badness of each one, is marvellous indeed. There is nothing Email or petty abont him. He delights only in gigantic sports, or seemingly hazardous undertakings. He wilt engage in projects which ordinary men would shrink from in dismay. His latest undertaking is a case in point. He 8?* oat, in the early part of the present year, to obtain control of a line of railway, extending from the Mississippi river west to Ogden, a distance x>f 1,500 miles, and has lately succeeded in his project Early in the year he purchased the Kansas Pacific railway, running from Kansas City, Missouri, to Denver, Colorado, which, together with its branch from Lawrence to Leavenworth, Kansas, is over 6^2 miles in length. With the control ol this road he also controls some 242 miles of branch roads, leased by the K&usas'Pacific. Then be purchased a controlling interest in the Denver and Rio Grande and Denver and South Park railroads. The next operation of Mr. Gould was the purchase of the Denver

< icrrivory, a ing Mr. Gould Europe and purchased the bonds held of this road held in Holland. In this transaction he drew his check for $1,350,000, which was quite a surprise to the mynheers of that country. It was only the other day that Gould obtained a controlling interest in the Union Pacific [Central branch) railroad (the old Atchison and Pike’s Peak road), extending from Atchison to Waterville, Kan., a distance of 100 miles, and paid for the stock, etc., acquired, in Kanfas Pacific securities. This transaction involved nearly $2,000,000. This new road carries with it over $1,000,000 worth of larti, and is, really, valuable property. Just is this transaction was closed we hear of another of still greater magnitude, viz.: the purchase of the Missouri Pacific railway, extending from St. Louis to Kansas City, Mo., a distance of about three hundred ' miles. This rood has four leased lines, which makes the total length of road owned and leased by the company about four hundred and twentysix miles. On the purchase of the securities of this road from Commodore Garrison, Jay Gould gave his check for $3,800,000, which is said to be the largest check ever drawn by any private individual in this country. By this last purchase he has obtained a controling interest in—in fafct, he may be said to practically own—a line from Ogden to th'e Mississippi river, and, as he is also a large owner in Union Pacific, he can consolidate the lines he controls so as to make a continuous line from the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. Does his scheme contemplate extension into Mexico? It ia not easy to say what it does not contemplate; but, if there is any truth in the report that Mr. Gould has also* obtained control of the Texas Pacific road—it is, however, only a street story—it would not be surprising to find him working fn a parallel line with the Atchison, Topeka k Santa*Fe managers to obtain an entrance into Mexico, and thence, perhaps, to Central America, and who knows but he may contemplate a line down into South America? Such projects, wild as they may seem at first glance today, may be the realization of a decade or two hence. When we talk abont building a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean at a cost of over $80,000,000, we should not be incredulous of a tail aay enterprise that might cost more than double that enormous sum. Jay Gould is yet a young man, being inside of 44 years of age, and though not what might be called a robust mat, has a large fund of energy along with a large brain. He is a man of a most correct and temperate habit of life, too busy to be dissipated, even if so inclined, which he is not. He is very domestic in his tastes, has a wife and a family of five or six children, to whom he is most devotedly attached.” “Have the large purchases of'railroad! by him been made with bis own money?” “Largely, it is ?aid by those who pretend to know, if not altogether, with his own money. He is an immensely wealthy man, though no one knows exactly how much he is worth. The estimate of his wealth ranges all the way from $25,000,000 to $75,000,000." After the Storm. The schooner Wanoosta, Captain Bostwick, of Welland, Ontario, went ashore and sunk at Erie, yesterday. The crew were all saved by the life saving service. Another vessel, unknown, is also ashore, and the United States steamship Michigan has gone to its relief. Charles Woods, Noah Garrow, and Henry Mearchay, who were on the wrecked fleet, and were reported mieainB’, came ashore on one of tho scows, near Fairhaven, New York. The schooner Two Fannies, valued at $10,000, and insured for $14,000, is ashore and gone to pieces at Elk Rapids, Grand Traverse bay, Michigan. She was laden with iron ore. The schooner W. B. Phelps, of OsWego, went ashore near Glen Haven on the night of the 19th, and is a total wreck. Five of the crew, including the captain, were drowned. Not Pleased With the Remedy. “Can you cure my eyes?” said a man to Dr. Brown. “Yes,” said the doctor, “if you will follow my prescription.” “Oh, certainly, doctor,” paid the patient; “I will do anything to have my eyes cured. What is your remedy, doctor?” “You must steal a horse,” said the doctor, very soberly. “Steal a horse, doctor?” said the patient in amazement. “How will that cure my eyes?” “You will be sent to the state prison for five years,, where you can not get whisky, and during your incarceration your eyes would get well,’' said the doctor. The patient looked somewhat incredulous, but he did not adopt the doctor’s remedy. Pension Payments and Frauds. The report of the commissioner of pensions shows that on the 30th of June last there were 242,755 persons in the United States receiving pensions from the government. The pension list is now larger than at any previous time. During the year the first payments to pensioners amounted to $4,763,758. An examination into the papers in the cases of fire hundred pensioners wb *e names had been dropped from the rolls within the past three years and four months, because their pensions had been obtained by fraud, shows that at least ninety-six forgeries were committed in the five hundred cases. There had been paid to these pensioners before the discovery of their frauds, $547,225. KxeeuUcms. Edward Holmes, colored, for outrage on a two year old white child, was hanged at Union, South Carolina, and George Garry, colored, for the murder of a colored man named Brown, was hanged at Beaufort, S. C., yesterday. George and Andrew Brown for the murder of Doc McClain in Montague county,May, 1876, were hanged at Galveston, Texas, yesterday. A Good Plan.
