SHOOTING THE RAPIDS. "Cnrions, Isn't it, how the old customs .tilt hol.i their own? Here is the fashion of penance by pilgrimage still the additional aggravation in vogue, with of calling it 'traveling for pleasure." "Well. Edward." said a sweet voice, that s verr uretty compliment to us your com ranions. 1 think I ought to make you do penance for that." . "That's right, Miss Wentworth; keep hiru in order," chimed In a third speaker. However going abroad has this one advantage for iwii.h that there we can sometimes ""t - j : .u .k.K. venture to fceiu -x ,. un rinadlv sins in one smasru. itnuuu Such was the chat which passed among the rroup of four two ladies ana two genueiueu seated at lunch on the balcony ot the Hotel 4a Ehin, at Schsffhausen, one sunny afternoon in the latter part of May. The first sneaker was a fine looking young man of dark curling hair, and tall, well shaped fignr .t1v bora out the name of "Handsome three and twenty, wnose cuuiciy iww. Ned" given him by his intimates, iouujc, 'rich, good looking, popular with high and low, in the plentitude of health and vigor, lately betrothed to the charming girl whooe soft lcstrous eyes were watching him half tenderly, half archly, from the other side of the board Viscount Montague might fairly account himself an extremely lucky young fellow. But upon that bright young face, firm and manly as it was, brooded the doomed look which haunts one in the portraits of Montrose, of Claverhouse, of Charles I ominously bearing out the gloomy tradition current among the elders of his native connrv th.t "th list of the Montasraes" was so in a double sense, and that with him the grand old line which had left its mark upon .rr mtr of English history since the days of the Tudors, was doomed to pas away foreTBeside him sat his inseparable associate, Sedley Bardett, whose square, muscular figure and frank, sunburnt face looked the very embodiment of young England at its best. Side by side the two young men had shot buffaloes on American prairies, stalked moose through Canadian forests, "bowled over" royal tigers in Bengal, and hobnobbed with negro kings oa the coast of Africa, and they wert now, faute de mieux, escorting the "Flower of Kent" and her mother on the inevitable tour through Switzerland, not without a secret hope that some unsealed mountain might afford them a chance of breaking their necks in the good old British way. Did you see how old Johann eyed me as he brought in the lunch?" said Montague. "He's evidently a devout believer in the continental creed, that an Englishman's natural pastime la to knock somebody dowo. or set a house on fire, or make a heavy bet that he'll jump headforemost cut of the window, and men do it forthwith." "Aye," laughed Burdett. "just what Dr. Buchmana said to me yesterday: Mein Herr, those countrymen of yours! When I was practicing in Saxony, I had no peace for them! First thing in the morning, kling! kling! at my door. 'What is it? 'An Englander, who has broken his leg in trying to eca'.e the Teufels-horn, which no one ever jwcetded yet. I set the Herr Englander's "leg, end Am making him comforsable, when kling! kling! again. 'What now? 'An Englander, nearly diowned in swimming across the Elbe for a waiter.' I wrap the Herr Englander in hot blankets, and bring him to. Before half an hour isover, kling! kling! once more, 'Mein Herr! What's the matter?' 'An Enfclander, who has broken a blood vessel in trying to run 12 miles an bour, because somebody said he couldn't.' Mein Herr 1 am sorry to hear it, but your countrymen are equally devoid of fear and cf r ason." "But you won't do any more of these horrible things now, Elward," said Marion Wentworth, entreaticgiy; -youpromiseu to be more careful, you know, while you were with us." "Don't be fnghtenM, my child," answered the viscount, with his gay laugh; "believe me, I have no intention of being killed any sooner than it necessary. Would you believe it, Ssd? thisunreasDnable young woman is making herself miserable, and daily expecting a notification to attend my funeral, on no better grounds than an old monk's prophecy." "An old monk's prophecy?" echoed Burdett, inquiring y. "What, haven't vou heard of it?" cried Montague. '"Well," this is a treat, to find one man to whom that story's new. You must know, then, as those fellows in 'Sanford and Merton' keep wying, that the estate which Harry the Eighth bestowed upon my respected ancestor. Sir Anthony Browne, included Battle Abby and the lands belonging to it; and mighty short work he made of the poor old monks if all tales be true. But after thev were expelled it began to be whis pered that one monk still remained in the old walls, and that he was sot to be driven out by either king or lord." "My word!" cried Burdett; "that's just the Black Friar of Norman Stone over again. Do you remember with what dramatic energy our old tutor used ta repeat that verse "Beware, beware of the Block Friar; He still retains his sway, For he la Mill the chnrch's heir, . Whoe'er may be the lay. Amundeville is lord by day. But th monk is lord by night; jJor wne nor wassail can raise a vassal To Question that friar's riant.' " "Well," pursued Montague, "when my worthy forefather came into his property, the first thing he did was to give a big dinner in the great hall of Battle Abbey (if he found it half as tiresome ss the dinner 1 had to give nben I came ol age, toe im piety t have been its own avenger), and they lighted up the old place with a perfect blaze of torches and held high revel till midnight. And then, all of a . sudden, a chill blast of -wind came moaning through the hall, making all the old banners and caii-coats along the walls clank and rustle; and the huge door swung a owly open and in the midst of h m.t no one could see whence or now. nneared the shrouded figure of a tall monk, tt rlided like a shadow up to the dais where

my ancestors was seated, and said, in a deep hollow voice that seemed to make, the very torches grow pale aa it spoke: "Anthony of Cowdry! thou hast enriched thyself with the spoils of God's church, and for that deed His judgments are upon thee and thine. As snow melta in the sunshine, so shall thy race decay, until the end come; and it shall come suddenly, in one day, by fire and by water!" It was strange enough to note how Montague's light tone deepened into tragic solemnity s the dismal tale proceeded, and how the shadowy imprets of doom on his handsome face came out plainer and plainer with every word. The anxious look in Marion Wentworth's eyes grew into absolute terror as be ended ; and she seemed about to speak when the waiter's entrance with a diah el fruit interrupted her As he entered, Mrs. Wentworth. evidently wishing to change the subject, spoke to him. "Waiter, when did you eav the night illumination of the falls wss to be?" "Thursday week, gracious lady; but It will iArdJ be ro good as the one wo had last

- " . . I

Sear, when they sent a big boat over the falls, ung all round with lanterns." "Was there anybody in her?" asked Montague. "What did you say, milord?" gasped the old man. with a stare of blank amazement "Was there anybody in the boat?" "The bo tt, milord? The boat went oyer the falls, I tell you." " 'Wei', why shouldn't somebody go with her to keep her straight?" "Why?" echoed Johann. goaded beyond endurance. "Because we Rhinelandera are no fonder of being drowned than other people. I've seen many a silly thing done in my time, but a man shooting the Scbaff bausen falls in a boat is a thing I've never seen yet and never shall." The sudden gleam in Montague's dark eve and the glow on his handsome features sufficiently betrayed the wild thought suggested to him by the honest German's last words. The significant glance exchanged between him and Burdett showed that the same idea was in the minds of both, though the latter accompanied bis look with a warning gesture, reminding the reckless visoonnt of the effect which the words tbat were just about to break from his lips would have upon the two ladies. But when they had retired Montague could contain himself no longer. "Glorious idea! We'll do it-eh, Scd?" "Do it? I should think we would! After the Gneule d'Enfer' rapids in Canada, this thimr'M h a ioke. 'Never seen it yet. and never shall.' eh? We'll give Mr. Johann annthnr utorv to tell to-morrow, one that 11 last longer than any of his present stock." ivukjV wmwu ' Our two heroes were not the men to loiter over any enterprise, however desperate, upon which they had once resolved, and they lost not a moment in setting out in quest of a boat. But to find one was no easy ..1L ... tlV.aa matter. Some were some were unseawuru-.v, uiuj failed to please the critical eye of Sedley Burdett. who. with all his recklessness, knew better than to leave any chance uncared for in a match where life itself was the stake. More than one conscientious native, on learning the nature of the proposed expedition, refused to have anything to do with It, nor was it till late in the afternoon that they at length met a less scrupulous Individ nal who. on receiving tbe full value of his boat in advance and a handsome gratuity for the use of her, consented to let the "English madmen" have their way. He nrrd to leave the boat in readiness at a mnTnUnt snot, and then took bis leave. Tt wa ronslderablv cast 11 o'clock that night, and Burnett, mindful of the tough work that awaited him next morning, was r.Tnrincr for bed. when Montague, (who slept in the next room) burst in, with a flush of nnusual excitement on his face. "Sed, old fellow, we must alter onr time of starting. Those meddlesome asses, the local authorities, are going to put a spoke in our wheel! " "Do vou mean that they'll try to stop us?" asked Burdett, with the natural amazement of an Englishman at any one presuming to onnose his will. I do, indeed! That prating fool of aboatsman (see if I don't punch his head when It's all overH must have let the cat oat of the bag; for as I came through the hall just now, I heard the landlady say to her husband: 'Ought we to let them go? It's really no better than a suicide!' and the old sinner answered with a chuckle: 'Be easy, my Gretchen when these young distracted ones get to their boat they will find it in charge of certain Gerichts diener (policemen) wbo are less foolish than they, and no harm wui be done!' " "Just like their confounded cheek!" crfad Tt.irrltt "What shall we do then?" "Do? Why, sat the alarm clock two hours earlier ll'm safe to hear it where I am) and start at 4 instead of 6; and we'll just meet the 'minions of the law' on our way back to breakfast, and a jolly sell it'll be for them! My word, every mortal thing seems to have conspired against this venture of ours; but I'll go through 1th it, no matter who stands in my way!" For one moment a thrill of superstitious awe shot through the stout heart of Sedley Burdett. Could it be that these countless hindrances were really a last barrier vainly opposed to the fatal impulse which was hurrying them both to destruction? The unnatural excitement of his comrade's manner, the feverish luster of his eyes, the heated flush in his usually pale face, were all terribly suggestive of one goaded to his doom by some irresistible frenzy flashing upon Burdett' s mind with ghastly vividness, the sudden memory of a long forgotten painting of the young German knight lured to his death in the hunerv Waters of the Rhine by the stren song of the Lorelei. He opened his lips to propose the abandonment of the whole project; but the fear of ridicule (that fear which has destroyed many a gallant man) withered the wholesome impulse, and the favorable moment went by forever. Morning at last a bright, breezy, glorioui summer morning, over which all things in earth and heaven se3med to rejoice. The hln skies, the waving woods, tha green suanv clones, the broad bright stream of the great river itself, all Beemed to smile a wel come to the eyes that might so soon be c!oed forever. Even the two English athletes, ahanrhed aa thev were In their perilous en ter prise, felt the influence of the hour, and muttered with involuntary admiration: "Weat a roval dav!" One vigorous stroke sent the light boat far out Into the swift, dark current, down which it shot like an arrow from a bow. kocks, trees, houses seemed racing past on either side. No need to strain at the oars now! All that could be done with them was to keep the boat's bow perfectly straight, so as to offer as little space as possible to the rush of a current whicn seemed well able to carry way an entire city. Suddenly there came a dizzy plunge a shock that threw both men from their niaras and "then all around was one boiling whirl of foam, and the boat was flung to and fro, and dashed up and down, amid an uproar that seemed to rend the very sky. For one feverish moment life and death seemed to hang by a hair; and then the two daring ' I .U AatSno or. tV little mea iuuiiu lucwmica uuuwug v u border line of calm wster that separated the n at fall from the worse peril of the second. "Hurrah!" shouted Montague, gleefully; "who sys it can't be done now? Keep her head straizht. Sed. my boy. and we'll come out all right yet." The triumphant cheer was answered by cry of dismay from the shore, and the two oarsmen, looking nr. behela Marion Wentwnrth roshiniz distractedly toward the edge of the high bank that overhung the second fall, followed by Montague's Eoglish ser vant At the sound of his betrotbed's voic Montazue turned his face toward her, and waved his band cheerily; and seldom has any painter conceived such a picture as the one which that moment branded forever on the memory of those who saw it.

"Good morning, my pet!" cried he gayly; "nn're Inst In time for the end of the play.' Thes were the last words that Viscount Montague ever spoke. That momentary nciippnr had allowed the boat s head to deviate illghtly from the direct line, and in an instant the whirl of the current threw its exposed sids full against the tremendous rush cf the cataract. One frantic struggle to regain the lest ground, and then boat and mn van lulled forever into the midst of the ronrln? abvss below. V,nm that fital hour llffl WaS 0V for the "Flower of Kent."

A GLORIOUS POSSIBILITY. Only $126,000,000 Needed to Start Iasrara ti rind In a; Or Is tit la New TorU. New York World.l Mr. Edison was visited at bis workshop in Menlo l'ark yesterday by a World reporter, and asked what progress he was making in the application of Mr. Wallace's telemachon an apparatus for transmitting power over a conductor by electricity and in his proposition to subdivide the electric light. With regard to the telemachon Mr. Edison said: "There is a brook, or spring, a few hundred feet over there (pointing In the direction), and it has got at least twenty horse power that is all wasted. I want to use that power, and l can't tae ray snop over mere. Consequently, I must bring the spring here. I'm going to put in a turbine wheel, attach that to a machine by a belt and have that machine conuected by wire with one In the shop. Then I'll get my power for nothing." "What percentage of the power can you get?" "About eighty per cent But suppose I only get five of the twenty horse power; that will be all I want, and it will do my worit for nothing." "How far can you transmit power in that way?" "Oh, I should think it could be done within a mile. You couldn't use It for a long distance. A statement of my opinion on this subject has been published, but that was all mixed up. Professor Wallace transmitted power from one machine to another in bis snop, and I'm going to transmit power from a water course, a few hundred feet away, to an engine. It's eo much horse power, and it doesn't make any difference whit is the source of that power." "Does Mr. Wallace use his machine practically?" , "No; he only exhibits it. But it works all right." "Do you really 'take 6tock' in Professor Wallace's machine?" "Oh, a little. I think I can make it work." "The telemachon, then, is to some extent a thing of the future. What are you actively working on?" "The electric light. I have solved the problem as to the subdivision of the light. Most of the machines now in use give at most three or four lights from one magnetoelectric machine. Mr. Wallace has one that gives eight lights, and is sufficient to illuminate the factory where 300 hands are employed. But those machines are limited as to the number of lights they give, and esch extra candle that can be nsed impairs the others. Now, the point was, how can one machine be made to give an infinite number of lights not dazzling white, a little brighter than gas and much cheaper and that could be distributed among bouses and stores and in streets? You can't use the ordinary elec tnc light for any purpose excepting the lighting of a large building. It is too bright, and its area of illumination of course decreases with the square of the distance. If vou have a hundred lights not so brilliant. and distributed over a large area, you get more illumination. Or, these hundred lights mav be in different buildings, and yet all come frord one machine. Now, that was the problem I solved. More man inac, i re luaae the thing work practically. I d show it to you, but I don't want any body to see it un til 1 get au my parents out. - "What part ol tne apparatus consiliums the discovery?" "The burner. You have an incandescence, not a flame, something white-hot that gives the light. .Although it's white heat it doesn't hnrt the eves. It is simply less intense than the brilliant light ol we electric canaies now in use. Supposing a company is formed and different persons subscribe for the light They all get it the same, the temperature at which the light is given rortn oeing nmiieu. But below that point the lignt can oe regulated at any degree by turning a cock, and the light is extinguished in the same way. The cock operates by breaking the electric current." "Is this practicable?" "I've made it work. It will be cheap. If I put in one burner too many I have only to put on more power." "How do you generate tne eiecincuy ior the light?" "By Wallace's machine, its ine oesi i could find. I shall devise a generator ol my own." . .... Mr. Edison, it will be seen, does not wisn to stand as authority for the suggested transmis sion of the power generated at tne lans oi i iagara to New Yoric. mere are some uiujcuihe s in the way oi mat acmevrmeuv. vue of them according to Mr. Hochhausen, of the firm of Arnoux fc Hochhausen, electric ians, of Nos 2 and 4 Howard street, is tnai it would require more copper to construct the conducting line from the falls to this city than the whole of the lake Superior re- . . . , A I gion COUld supply in oiuer uiu5,uiuio vunu one hundred million pounds. The money spent for the copper would supply every manufacturer witn steam power to eierunjr free of cost. Mr. H. S. Manim, the well known elec trician and mechanical engineer, whose electric lamps are in use in the Equitable building, was asked for his idea on the subject, and said: "Yes. it is possible, but it would cost money, ine copper wmuucwr would not be an insurmountable obstacle. It would cost about $00 a foot, or, taking the distance as 400 miles, not more than $izo,720,000. Then there would be the necessary machinery at Niagara talis, ana i suppose, u the conductor was built, money would be found to construct that." Efficiency of Prayer. At Holyoke, Massachuseets, last week. two little boys were arrested for stnpplog leaves from the trees in the park. Son after they had been locked up an officer heard their voices and peeped Into the cell. Both of the children were down on their knees, with their hands clasped and tesrs running down their cheeks. "0 Lord, please let us out of this place, and we'll never do it agin. never, never," prayed one sobbing culprit, while the otner was repeating me Lord's prayer. "Pray harder," said one of them, "and speak your words plain, or 'God won't understand you." "I try to, Jimmy, .nt I'm nrvint so I can't." said the other. mi then both redoubled their prayers. The nfficer sunned away, got tne aeys anu cum pounded t pounded their felony. The effectual fervent prayer of a naughty boy availeta much. Call Mrs. Jenks.

STATE INTELLIGENCE.

Two prisoners, Henry Doe and Richard Bowman, escaped from Goshen jatl Monday night by cawing a hole in the cell floor. Burglaries are alarmingly numerous In Loganeport The residences of Martin Griner and Mr. Helvioe were entered Monday night and thoroughly ransacked. Money, jewelry and small articles of valne were taken. No clue. While the carpenters were going to work at a new roof on an ice house at the fair grounds in Evansville Tuesday morning, a high wind blew the heavy base beams down, and one of them crushed the ekuli of Peter Daebler, killing him instantly. Shelbyville Volunteer: We were shown a sample of yellow corn raised by Commissioner Uavison this morning that beats anything In the corn line that we have seen this year. It is large corn, well eared and matured, four ears weiring two pounds to the ear. South Bend Register: Hog cholera is prevailing to considerable extent in some parts of the county. Mr. E. M. Irvin, of Harris township, was in the city last evening to procure an antidote, having already lost 41 himself and several of his neighbors each as many or more. A fire occurred at the fair grounds near Shelbyville Tuesday afternoon, which reresulted in the total destruction of mechan ical hall. The secretary of the association es timates the loss at about $500; insurance on .the building. $250. Supposed that the building was fired by tramps. Columbus Democrat: This morning at about G o'clock a little child of John Lock hart's was killed by the cars at Conway's switch, near Seymour, on the J.. M. and I railroad. The little child had crawled out on the track and was struck by train No. 8 and thrown a distance of 20 or 30 feet and Instantly killed. Frank Woodward, who stole a horse from J. Dean, of Harrison county, was arrested Tuesday at New Albany and bound over to appear in the circuit court. Dean said be was afraid to testify against Woodward, as be belonged to a gang that would wreak vengeance on him if Woodward went to the penitentiary. He was not only afraid of the incendiary a torch, but even feared his life would not be safe. Logansport Pharos: Last Saturday even ing, while the family of Mr. Martin Griner were at supper, a sneak thief entered the house, and going to the up stairs bed roam took out two of the bureau drawers, contain ing the family jewelry valued at about $100. The drawers were found next morning in the rear of Green's shoe shop on Market street Also a portion of the goods were found in the cellar under the old Bar net house. South Bend Tribune: The committee ap. pointed by the board of county commission era awarded the contract for the construction of a new bridge across Bango creek, near Oceola, to Mr. John Hooper, of this city. The bids were as follows: John Hooper, $800; Skinner s Staples, $825; Charles H Hilton, $930. This Is the place where a team went through the old bridge -during the holding of a eamp meeting in that vicinity a few weeks ago. Terre Haute Gazette: Thomas Torrance, a farmer, living in Lost Creek township, met with a serious accident this morning, at his farm. He went out in a field, and was get ting some corn out of a shock for his horses. Some colts were standing by the shock, and. when he came up. one of them kicked him in the face, inflicting a serious wound. His nose was broken, and an ugly gash cut in both lips, and the face otherwise badly bruised. Dr. Armstrong was sent for. South Bend Herald: Valentine Glassman, of this city, was knocked senseless last Sat urday morning by a blow from a hand spike in the hands of a tenant of his. in Madison township. Gla-sman and his tenants were quarreling at the time on some business matter, when the latter dealt Glassman the brutal blow that was thought at first to have ended his life, as Glassman laid in a semiconscious state for several hours after the assault The assailant has fled the country. Vincennes Sun : A lady and gentleman from the rural districts wended their way into Squire Heldenreich's office yesterday and asked that functionary to administer to them an oath. They refused to tell their names, but wanted to swear that "what we say to each other is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, s'elp us God." That what they had said to each other was confidential may be inferred from the fact that tbey didn't even whisper it to his honor, but riled out of the office looking extremely happy. While a clover huller belonging to Rice Merlaugh, of Palestine, was threshing clover Beed on the farm of Jerry Porter, one mile northeast of Fountaintown, the stack took fire from the engine,' and before anything could be done the separator and an unfiaisbed suck of clover were entirely consumed. The united efforts of all the hands were required to keep the house adjacent from burning. The loss is not estimated. South Bend Tribune: Yesterday, while digging gravel on the farm of H. E. Jackson, in Center township, the workmen found some five feet below the surface three hu man skeletons. They were found in as many different graves, in sitting positions. Their appearance shows that tbey are Indian remains. Old settlers say that some fifty years ao there was an Indian camp on the side of the farm now owned by air. jacsson. ana that these are undnubedly skeletons of In dians who belonged to that ttibe. Logansport Pharos: A gang of swindling lightning rod pedJlers, representing the Pha?oix lightning rod company, are now traveling through the country, endeavoring by trickery to secure jobs. They should be watched bv the farming community, as one of the most respectable farmers of Washing ton township was defrauded in a single trans action to the value of $S0. Be careful, as you will perhaps be called upon to sign some written agreement mat win cause you to take something that you do not want Logansport Pharos: John I. Nolan, an employe of this office, was called into the office of Notary Public P. H. Grelle to-day to witness the indenture of said notary and his seal to a paper transferring to the said Mr. Nolan and a young lady by the name of Miss Josie D. Koe 80 acres of valuable land in Kansas. 35 miles from the state capital and three miles from the county seat of Wanbansee county. The persons transfer ririg this land as a present to this young couple are Mr. James W. Turman and wile. DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE. The Platform of tbe Party Adopted t the Mate Convention A Clear nud U aeqaivoeal Enunciation of Prlnelplf Sentiments Which the Masses Will Indorse. The democracy of the state of Indiana as sembled in delegate convention declare: That national bank notes shall be retired. and in Ilea thereof there shall be issued by tne government an equal amount of treasury notes with full legal tender quality. That we are In lavor of making the Unltod States notes, commonly called greenbacks, a full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except such obllgatloua ouiy as are by the terms of the original contracts

able in coin.

That the right to issue poer money as well 84 coin Is the exclusive prerogative of the government, and Kuch money should be issued In such amount as the sound business Interests ot the country may from ti-ne to time require. We are in favor of such legislation by congress as will authorize the taxation by the states of the UnlUd States noits in common with all other mony. That we deem It unwise and Inexpedient to enact any further legislation for the funding of the national debt abroad, through the means of heme syndicates or other methods; and we believe tne true policy of the novemmeut and the best Interests of the people would be subserved by legislating so a to distribute sAld debt among our people et home aHordlng mem ine most favorable and practical opportunities for the Investment of their savings in the funded debt of the United States. That we are In favor of snch legislation which shall fix the lecal ra e of interest at not exceeding six per centum jer annum. we aemanu tne restoration ot tn sliver dollar of 412 grains to the coiu of the country, and with full legal tender quality in the payment of all debts, both jub lo and private; and that the coinage therein shall be unlimited, and npon the same terms and conditions as may oe provided lor tne coinage ot gold. That we are in favor of the Immediate and unconditional repeal of tbu resumption act we are in favor of me most rigid economy in puolic expenditures, and we declare that the fees and salaries of all public officers should be reduced. That we are in favor of the repeal of the bankrupt act That we sincerely deplore the recent violent collis.on between labor and capital, and to prevent the recurrence thei-eof and to protect the future public order and security we be leve that the wages of corporations engaged In the business of mining, manufacturing and transportation should beafirtllen upon the proneity, receipts and earnings of said corporations, and that such lieu saould be declared, defined and enforced by appropriate legisla tion. That we favor the passage of a law for the ventilation of coal mines one that would be Just to the miner and owner. ine democratic party is tne iriena oi ine common school svstem, and will in every legitimate way labor for it success, and will oppose any attempt to divert any portion of the common school fund to any sectarian purpose. Tuat the last apportionment of the state for legislative purposes was grossly unjust and dishonorable, and we demand that the next legislature, iu apportioning the state for legislative purposes, as will be their Imperative duty, shad have regard alone to population and contiguity of territory. That the jurisdiction claimed and exercised by the circuit court of the United States over questions of corporate and individual rights arising under the laws of the states, tends to oppress and burden litigants to such an extent as to amount to a practical denial of justice in mauycases; and we consider the legislation which has conferred such jurisdiction as unwise and hurtful to the true interests of people. And we demand such legislation as will restrict and limit the jurisdiction of such courts to such matters as are clearly contemplated by the constitution and expressed in be judiciary act of 17e9. We are on no sed to claes legislation, and pro test against the grant of subsidies by the fed eral government eitner in lauds, oonus, money or by the pledge of the pi.Ulc credit. That we abhor and hold up to public detestation the leaders in the republican party wbo secretly connived, and witn barefaced effrontery carried out the schem by and through venal returning boards, whereby Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks, the people's choice for president and vice president, were wrongfully kept out of the positions to which a free people had called them. We hold it np as the monster crime of the age, a crime against free government, a crime against the elective franchise and a crime that can only be condoned when the malefactors who seated a fraud in the presidential chair are driven from nower and consigned to everlasting in famy bv the people whom ttey have outraged. And we denounce the act of the president of thaTTnited States In anno) n tine to hian and lucrative positions the corrupt members of the returning boards, and eondemn the acts of federal officers in attempting to lntenere wnu the rights and powers of the state courts in the Drosecution of these criminals. That our senators and representatives in congress be and are hereby requested to secure passage of a law giving to the soldiers of the Mexican war a pension similar to that now given to the soldiers of the war of 1812.

McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,, DYSrBPSIA AND SICK HIADACHS. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge -of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness ; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accom panied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having leit unaone someuung wimu uugui to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation ot the skin; nis spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be Denenciai to mm, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown tne livek w have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE of imitations. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Livek Pills. The genuine McLane's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C McLank and FLEMING Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine D. C McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation.
