THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL,, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1879.

, , ,s WEDNESDAY, JJUNR-J 25." f i. Bishop Siscraow wants the TJnited States to ake in all of North America, and it Is worthy of remark that the bishop's party want a centralized government,, made op tshiefly of soldiers, marshals and vetoes. .

Hates wants the marshals at the polls to help the -supervisors to arrest men who do not rote the Republican ticket, and if vetoes will perpetuate ' the infamous proceeding they will continue to pour in upon Congress. Coskmsg says he will not fight because his constituents do not believe in that way of settling disputes. Conkling prefers wear ing the Be as a badge of cowardice. He thinks more of his life than of his characterNew York is not honored by such a senator. The Journal reprints Captain Lord's evidence concerning the 1864 election. Perhaps it will give Captain Dodd's testimony for the benefit of its readers. As it is good reading we give it once more. The captain said that "Soldiers were here thick that day. They not only -voted themselves, brrj tried to prevent Democrats from voting. Two officers of the Sixteenth Massachusetts boasted in the parlors of my house that night that they had voted from three to six timet." We are informed that Mrs. Dr. Haverfield, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the position of assistant physician for the Insane Asylum, has passed a satisfactory examination as an M. D. It is to be hoped that the officials' of the Asylum, who meet to-day for business, will see the propriety of appointing the lady to a position in which her medical attainments would make her services of great value to the unfortunate women of the institution. It did require "cheek," as Captain Lord said, to deny the election farce held here in ' 1864, bat the Journal furnishes it the pure, unadulterated article. It now demands proof, if Democrats were excluded from voting. The Sentinel poured forth such a broadside of proof in support of ehe statements of Senators McDonald and Yoorhees on Saturday that our usually goodnatured contemporary was undoubtedly struck in a very tender spot. It is said tbat some philanthropic Republican has discovered a very invigorating ointment with which the spine of the president is rubbed from day to day. We wouid recommend it to our contemporary. Ta! Ta! Thk Chicago riot on Sunday last is, in its consequences, sufficiently bloody and ghastly to attract general attention and provoke universal condemnation.' We have seldom, if ever, read of an outrage in which there was so little to palliate its abhorrent wickedness, and the record of the murderous event can not be contemplated without a shudder. The season for picnics, when women and children seek amusement and relaxation beneath the shade of the trees in the suburbs of tll our large citie?, seems to arouse the devilish propensities of a set of rowdies and loafers that infest society, and to gratify their fiendish instincts they seek the retired localities, where picnic parties assemble, for the purpose of changing innocent pleasures into scenes of violence. This seems to have been true of the Chicago riot in its initial stage. This fact, however, in no-wise modifies the murderous incidents which followed, and the punishment that the Chicago authorities shall inflict upon the murderous miscreants who stabbed and shot the people will be watched with intense interest and solicitude. The Chicago affair is eminently suggestive, and picnic parties in a'.l the large cities should take warning not to pitch their tents so near the dens of blackguards and rounders as to imperil their lives and their pleasures. Stewart L. Woodford's disclosures of the purposes of Grant to defeat the will of the American people, by arresting Samuel J. Tilden and incarcerating him in prison, if he had dared to assert his rights and the rights of the American people, forms one of the most terrible chapters in the black and damning history of the Republican party, and Congress should at ones set on foot another investigation for the purpose of getting at the bottom of the diabolical plot. The people should know all about the preliminary steps that had . been taken of a military character to reverse their will, aod to bustle the man who was elected president into a fort, that Hayes might take possession of a btolen office. It is intimated that Mr. Tilden was aware of the plot to kidnap him. and hence in the supreme hour, when the loftiest i patriotism was demanded, concluded to abandon his claims to the high office of .president and permit perjury to triumph. "The Boston Post, in commenting upon the .startling disclosures of Woodford says that it has often been said in disparagement of Governor Tilden that be .did not exhibit ucient pluck and energy in asserting his a-ights after the election. ' . He knew then as well as now tbat bad he taken the oath of foe and assumed to act as president another war was a dead certainty, and one that would delude the whole land with blood,ind the end of which no man could . foresee. A man "of his ' shrewdness also --must &ave been advised of the 4S0.iletBfi!ated movements of Grant, and ifcat an attempt to enforce &w rights with no organized military Xecce to support him would necessarily p w abortive, more especially since the friedof Hayes were in possession of the Goveiusaent, and the leaders willing, if not anxio n. to involve the nation in another war.' The country can hardly estimate traly the da.ig from which the wisdom of Tilden dehve.4 us, or the debt of gratitude due him. Soever or later we shall have more contemporaneous history on this subject, bnt this, w bich seems authentic, will ao tot the present. We .do not say tbat under all the circamtanceaef the case as liciosea by Woodford, that it would have been better for the country bad Mr. Tilden brav d the iron despotism of Grant and his coconspirators; but, if Mr. Tilden believed that be was elected by the sovereign people of the couatry", if he had an honest conviction that it was right and proper for him to take the oath of office, he should have done tbat thins t&ooga all

the bayonets on the continent bristled before him. He had no right to think of personal consequences. He had sought the people's suffrages, and they had crowned him with authority, and from their decision there was absolutely no appeal. We recogniie the fact that it was a supreme moment. Issues of tremendous import were in the balances. . The right never loomed up more sublimely. ' Tilden hesitated and fraua and falsehood triumphed. The right was cloven down, and liberty lay bleeding and crushed beneath the iron heel of the most despicable monster that ever wrested from freemen their " inallienable rights. There are times when brave men are wanted; when cool courage is in demand. That august moment came in the history of Samuel J. Tilden, and he was unequal to the demand. As a result, Hayes and all the infamies which have since disgraced and dishonored the American

GENERAL NOTES. Fivk stores were robbed In one night at Plain City, O., and the local newspaper proudly says tbat, although the Job was done by home talent, It was equal to the best work of professional burglars. A special cable dispatch says that on Friday the reception of Rev. Dr. Talmage at Nottingham, England, wain numbers and enthusiasm unprecedented. The receipts from the first lecture were over H,000. Applications by thousands are pouring in for him for sermons and lectures. A coobdtng to his own account, Bismarck is in a bad way. His health is giving way, his powers are falling, the Reichstag doesn't sympathize with him, the ministers of the various States look coldly on him, and he can't be always pushing the cart op hill. Such was the bnrden of a recent speech. , . Thk Bank of France has an invisible photographic studio behind the cashier's desk whence likenesses can, at a signal from the latter, be taken. .... The camera Is much used, too, In the' examination of documents An erasure is often obvious in the photograph of a document which is not seen in the document itself. The Kentucky mule Is beginning to appear n the tramways of England. Among the live stock recently landed at Liverpool were TO moles fine, large animals, with the drawing power of a horse and much greater endurance. These mules stand the voyage well, all landing In good condition, precisely as shipped. Some hundreds have been shipped for Natal, where they will be found useful in the present emergency. mxxatok Chandler introduced on Saturday in the Senate another Brazilian subsidy scheme. It diners from the one that was defeated in the House last year, principally in providing for three instead of two lines. The new one is to run from San Francisco. The other point of importance is the payment of the subsidy. This country is not to depend on the payment of a like sum by the emperor of Brazil. Ex-Secretary Robeson ; rather throws a damper on tne sensational story published last week in regard to the project of kidnaping Mr. Tilden, in case he made any move to se cure tne presidency after the decision of the electoral commission. In an interview with a New York World reporter Mr. Robeson said : "This whole story is a yarn spun out of the sensational lmaglninalion of Senator Conkling's former friend and editor, and therefore how is it possible for me to say more?" When the v.ir entered his box at the Grand theater, St. Petersburg (immediately before his departure for Livadia), a part of the audience arose and shouted: "Long live the czar!" The greatest part of the public, however, substituted the cry of "A constitution !" A tumult ensued, with the usual interference of the police; numerous arrests were made, and the sovereign, after a while, retired from his box. The taelr-apparent remained, and was at once saluted with enthusiastic applause and renewed cries of "A constitution!" The youth who carried off the honors on Saturday at Vernon, Ind., in the contest for a naval cadet-ship, according to the Madison Courier, was the youngest and smallest of eight competitors, and he secured the prize clearly and fairly. Benny . Thornton is his name, and the Courier says be is as bright and noble a boy as lives. He Is exceedingly eager for an education, which thus lar has been hard work for him to obtain, as he has assisted in earning a living for his widowed mother. The Courier concludes its remarks concerning him by saying that "with him duty has been a practical watchword, and If he serves in the American navy, as we believe he will, Jefferson county will have furolshed the nation with another brave and intelligent seaman one worthy of the home of Rear Admiral Collins and the gallant Taylor and Webb." The plan adopted by Mr. Jerome Marble, of Worcester, Mass., of traveling In his own pal ace car, is not only positively comfortable, but comparatively cheap. He told a correspondent or the Northwestern Lumberman that the entire cost of a trip of seven weeks made by himself and friends, covering 4,000 miles on the Northern Pacific, was but a little over (200 per head. Tne charge made by the railroads for hauling his car Is bnt their regular first-class fare for passengers occupying the car, provided it carries a minimum number of 12. Mr. Marble further said tiiat his entire car expenses, exclusive of the amount paid to tne railroad companies, but including board, were 57 cents dally for each person. -. This is probably due to the party living on the game they shot. Mr. Marble's car includes 12 double berths, and is In throe compartments. One end Is devoted to offices, the other to lavatories, etc. The middle is a sleeping room by night, and luxurious parlor, Including piano, library, etc., by day a far pleasanter place on a wet night, after a day '8 shooting, than a soaking tent on sloppy ground. - The New York coroner Is endeavoring very faithfully to ascertain who killed Mrs. Hull. The affair Is still Involved In mystery, Nancy Francis, the colored witness, was examined on Friday. She has been somewhat suspected of, at least, complicity In the murder. Upon the stand she repeated every qnestion put to her by the coroner. She affected a dislike for her race, and questions about colored beaux or colored acquaintances excited her anger and contempt. "No, sah;" she said, "'deed I dont visit no eullud folks. I was tole not ter be v nothin' ter do wid 'em 'fore I come Nortn." Charles Dickens on the last day or his life wrote lour letters, oi which possibly the most generally interesting Is this to "J. M.

Wednesday morning an extraordinary spectacle was presented on the Long Ridge road, at the reservoir of the Bethel Water company. The road and the banks thereof, for a distance of 80 rods, swarmed with young frogs. Tnese animals were scarcely an inch in length I They were In constant motion and yet so Immense in quantity as to be unable to get out of the way of the passing teams. Major Wood and wife drove through them, finding it impossible to avoid doing so. Mr. Wood says the number of frogs could be estimated at millions. The ground, as far as the eye could reach, was covered with them. They undoubtedly descended In the rain, Tuesday night,

and eaoh must have descended on Its head, as none of them appeared to know where they were going. Danbury (Conn.) News, June 12 Of Franklin Pierce an old friend has been recalling some pathetio memoirs. "I knew him," he says, "when his only boy was killed in a railroad accident, and when his wife, under the dreadful shock, pined away and died. I knew him when he bore his great sorrow silently and alone. People wondered at some exhibition of eccentricities, and were wont to slur him when seeing him, dressed in his military cloak and latigue hat, pulled down over his eyes, walking down the middle of Washington street, head down, turning neither to the right nor left, no matter how formidable might ba the rush of horses or vehicles. They slurred him because they for got that this man, who loved friends better than fame, had t een bereft of his all, and though surrounded by a nation was In his heart ol hearts alone. I knew the ex-president In Concord. I remember him as he still seemed sad and alone. I remember observing him one day as he stood upon the piazza of his residence In Concord, and for a fall hour, with his arms folded, faced a driving snowstorm." Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, the authoress and anti-slavery agitator, is now 77 years old, and lives at her old home in Wayland, Mass. In the course of a recent conversation with a writer in the Boston Herald she spoke of Garrison as a firm believer in Spiritualism, and added: "Whlttier admits that there Is something very mysterious and unexplained In it. He told me that there was an old Quaker whom he saw when he was a lad, who was renowned for his prophecies. He very often spoke under the influence of the spirit. Whlttier sent me a copy of a prophecy made by the old man In 1803. It began by foretelling a great split in the church, which would commence with the Presbyterians, and it would include the Friends. We have since seen the Presbyterians divide, and the Hlckslte trouble among the Quakers. Then the old prophet said be saw a great trouble about the slavery Question, which would end in a war and emancipation. He foresaw finally a grand gathering of the churches into an established church and ruled by It. And he saw the Society of Friends paying tribute to this church. And he saw also a military despotism of the country, though this would only be for a while. Now, this was a remarkable prophecy, and all but the last two statements have been fulfilled." CLIPPINGS.

COLUMBUS, OHIO.

The Last of the Legislature, and Its ' ; . ; "Work. . Political Points and Prospects The Trouble Between the Goveroor snd hit Lientenant A Cincinnati Senator on Hendricks A Disgusted - ' National, Etc Special Correspondence of the Sentinel. Columbus, June 23. The capital of the great State of Ohio is lust now quite lively. The closing hours of the Legislature which has had a session of five months, longest in the history of the State, has - something to do with this life . -and the rapidly heating up of the campaign has not a little to do with it Then, Columbus is a city ot no mean importance anyhow. The natives claim a population of 53,000, which, in my bumble judgment, is at least 10,000 too many. The city is well-built, has firstclass business blocks and public buildings, beautiful streets, and a large amount of manufacturing. It is claimed that in the past three years Columbus has improved more in proportion to its size than any city in this part of the Union. One thirjg is perhaps more overdone here than at any place I can now call to mind, and that is newspaper business. Five dailies and nearly three times as many weeklies strive for existence. The Journal is the old Republican paper so well known,' while the Dispatch is of the so-called independent Republican faith. The Statesman is the old Democratic paper ami the Democrat is the new venture of the same faith. Then ' there is the - daily Labor, a late enterprise started by a few printers, and apparently succeeding as well as could be expected. The usual number of Sunday papers and other wtakly issues complete the list. The Legislature, according to the testimony of its members at least, has done a great work this session, the bulk of It being the codifying of the laws of the State. The committees have labored night and day, and the great work is now finished. The constituency, say those who have been on these committees, can have no idea of the great amount of work .required and gone through with in this connection, and Ohio, It is asserted, will hereafter have her laws in a shape as near perfection as possible. Tbe portly form of Lieutenant Governor Fitch looks imposing as he reads tbe morning papers, qnietly sitting behind blsdeBk during the. proceedings of the Senate, and Jim Neal, the boy from Butler county, peers over the desk as speaker of the House. He looks as young as ever, and bears his honors with becoming modesty. , In conversing with members of both branches from all parts of the State, and representing all parties, I learned tbat tbe Grant boom is fast dying out in Ohio, where it never was so strong as in Indiana, and especially in Illinois. The Republicans prefer Sherman, and the great bondseller is growing in popularity every day. There are some who talk of Garfield, but none who consider for a moment the claims of Blaine, Conkling, or any one not an Ohioan. Ohio has settled down to the firm conviction that it requires an Ohio man to do things right in any responsible position. The Republicans, of couree, uphold the course of Hayes in regard to the vetoes he is an Ohio man be it remembered. They are apparently very sanguine in regard to the State ticket, but occasionally I could find one who was either more honest, or bad better judgment, who would tell me, in a half confidential tone, tbat the whole matter was very uncertain, and that tbe result could not now possibly be foreshadowed. Ohio casts a very large vote, and a small per cent, changed either way would determine the result. I found tbe Democrats decidedly non-committal on tbe presidential subject. They are awaiting the result of tbe approaching contest in tbe State. If the Democratic ticket is elected, then Thurman or Ewing one. will be held up for tbe latter, it seems, has aspirations as high as anybody. If the Republican State ticket wins, then good-bye Ohio candidates for the presidential race on the Democratic side of the track. They are so anxious as to the turn things may take in this State tbat tbey seem to have scarcely considered any outside aspirants. However, I louna none wno were willing to take stock in Tilden. They feel tbat the New York and Eastern Democracy generally are not in sympathy with them in tbe present contest, and that if they do not lend material aid to tbe Republican party of the State, they will at least not help the Democracy, for. the reason that they do not want the triumph of the Ohio idea, nor the boom of a Western candidate for the Democratic nomination at the next National convention. . Of Hendricks, all I met spoke well except a senator from Hamilton county, who did crack it to Indiana's favorite son unmercifully. As to the hope of the Democracy for the success of the State ticket, it is similar to that of tbe opposition. The younger men are full of enthusiasm, but the older and more prudent are unwilling to risk their reputations as political prophets. The result of the elections last spring has made things very uncertain, they think, and while they hope for tne best they feel far irom satisfied with the 'prospects. In a word, there is little real confidence on either side of ultimate victory, and the ..fight, which is already warming up rapidly, is certain to be v one of the hottest ever known in the State, outtide of war times. The situation seems to be about this: The well-known Greenback sentiments of General Ewing it ii thought will draw 'largely from the Greenback or National party,' which ' has considerable strength here, and will thus help the Democrat ticket. Not a few of the leading Greenbackers, whom I encountered, favored the support of Ewing. But on the other hand the sympathy, if not the actual assistance of tbe Eastern Democracy, will help tbe Republican ticket, to which can be added the immense resources for funds, furnished by the National banks. So it is certain to be close. For some days a blatant brayer, named Nichol (should be "Nickle"), from Chicago, a member of the so-called Honest Money league, has been holding forth to a crowd of men - and boys from the Capitol steps, re claims to be in the employ of the Republicans, who give him $10 a night for his ravings. I went to hear him. He bad a lot of extracts from Brick Pomeroy'a communistic utterances, and put them forth as the Greenback doctrine, and be as the real representative of the Greenback idea. Brick represents the Greenbackers of the West abou t tbe same as tbe lunatic of the Okalona States does the Southern people. During the progress of his speech some inebriated hearer began to comment rather louder than was in good taste. . After being quieted once or twice, a police whistle was blown for several minutes, but not a blue-coat responded. Two citizens then took bold of tbe objector and marched him off. Tbe boys all followed, of course, leaving but a handful of men to hear the balance ot the speech, and showing of what the audience was composed. The address was soon after brought to a close. - There is an evident dissatisfaction among tbe leading Democrats, with tbe administra tion of Governor Bishop, I could get but little of a positive nature from any I met, bnt the feeling - is easily discernable that tbe late great grocer has not met expectations. It seems tbat he counted on a renomination, and bad, as he thought, a dead sure thing on it, . His defeat in convention seems to have chagrined him a great deal. I called on the governor to, it possible, have a little

talk with him. As my proboscis appeared at the door of his office, be greeted me with a, most cordial "How d'e do? come In, take a chair." ., He started off rapidly, inquiring of people and things in Indiana. I got bnt a few minutes general conversation with him. , On account of the closing . days of the Legislature, and bis recent absence from the city, he was very busy, and the interview had to be indefinitely postponed. . ... At the Niel House I encountered Lieutenant Governor Fitch, who has a grievance against tbe governor, and leads the dissatisfied elements. Fitch, it will be remembered, was one of tbe trustees of the Cleveland Asylum, and, according to his statement, the governor nominated as his successor a man named Wade, with the mistaken idea that it would further tbe chances of himself for a renomination. But he got only two of the 15 votes cast by the Cleveland delegation. Said the lieutenant: "Bishop thought sure be would get renominated, and was badly disappointed. He has been greatly overrated." "I suppose you saw his interview on tbe subject of the Asylum appointment, published a few days in the Enquirer?" "Yes. He sent word to the office for some one to come and interview him, and when the reporter got there he had the interview all written out ready for publication." "That so?" "That's what the reporter told me." "How does his statements consist with the facts in the case?" "Well, be made a great many misstatements. The whole matter was a bid for votes in the convention. He telegraphed to Cleveland that he had sent in Wade's name expecting it to meet tbe approval of the delegation, but it didn't. He got but two votes out of 15." "Will Wade be confirmed?" "No. He got 12 votes while I got 18, and the matter goes over while the vacancy will continue."

"How are you Ohio Democrats on the question of a candidate for the presidential contest?" "We are not decided on that; have not as yet thought much about it. We are waiting for the result of the State contest this year to determine future action." "What about the Grant boom in this oiacer , "Oh, it don't amount to anything. There never was anything in it" "I suppose you are sanguine of success in the 8tate?" "It is hard to telL The fight will be hot and close, and some of the party will not support nwiug wun rnucn vigor. 1 was op poeed to his nomination myself." "In tbe event of the success of the Demo. cratic ticket of course Thurman will start on ine Doom. "Ewing and Thurman are very good friends, but they are both aspirants for the same high place, and there is no telling how it would be adjusted." "Is Ewing so ambitious as that?" "Yes, he aspires as high as anybody." "How will Tburman'a sndrUn mmramtnn in relation to tbe finances last year, effect uio prospects : "It will not do him any good. Evidently he changed for Johnny's sake, because he thought the idea was to be the popular one in the future." "Will Erwlng's Greenbackism injure him with the party?" "Not to any great extent, the financial question being practically settled. Thus he will get a large proportion of the National vote." - - Seeing that the lieutenant wss not very warm toward the prospective candidates for the presidency from this State, I inquired how Hendricks was regarded by Ohio Democrats generally? "We li e Hendncks'rery well over here. I would much rather have seen him nomin ated at St Louis than Tilden." At this point, Senator Lord, of Cincinnati, once so well known in connection with tbe I., - C. and L. railroad, sitting near, interposed bis views concerning Hendricks in a vigorous manner. He knew Hendricks well; bad known him for years. He wouldn't do at ell: he bad no positive convictions, or if be had, was afraid to express them. ' He didn't "ride like a brave woman, with both feet on one side, but a straddle. Hendricks is a coward ; not a physical coward, but a moral coward," etc., etc. lhe senator and the lieutenant walked away, and I saw them no more, but seeing rtepresentatlve Sturgeon, of Toledo, the big Bah of the National party, in fact, the daddv of all the Nationals, I undertook to interview him. He, like most of the politicians I met. seemed rather out of humor, and didn't like toe National platform in the State, which proposed to issue greenbacks enough at once to pay ot an tne bonds. Why, some of tbe bonds were bought with gold, and, as silver is the same as gold, why not pnj them, in silver and break faith with no one?" ' "You mean that you would pay the bonds according to the original contract?" "That's it exactly. Pay those that were originally contracted to be jaid in coin, in silver, and those that were to be paid in greenbacks, pay them with greenbacks." "Will Ewing get ntany National votes?" "Thousands of them, sir; thousands of them!" "What will, be the effect on your party in this Stater' "It will excuse me, but there is a friend waitingfor me, and I must go. Would be glad W see you again. Good day, sir," and he was gone from my gaze in a flash, it brgins to look like the National Greenback Labor party, as a party, "is a damned brrrett ideality," as the extremists seem to be in control, and the reasonable men ere fast becoming disgusted with the situation. No two organs of the party agree on the leading features of tbe movement. Maque. A Sister's Touching Letter. The Reading (Pa.)

A Colorado inventor is walking across the river at Leavenworth on patent water shoes. On June 6 he started from the upper side of the Missouri river bridge, and, although the current was running at the rate of 14 miles an hour, the river was crossed in nine and a half minutes. After resting a few momenta, he showed the audience how to manage the shoes, and how tbey could be steered in any direction one wished to go. Tbe shoes were then attached together, making a perfect baoy or life-preserver, upon which the occupant could ait or lie with ease and safety. - ' -; -. - - - f : A Jersey City man was recently arrested for smacking aia wife across the nose with a red aod yellow worsted motto, bearing the worus, "Home, Sweet Home,"

June 2L The guests at this watering place were shocked this afternoon at the report that one ot their number, a lady, had been swept over the Falls. At first the story was disbelieved, owing to the peculiar circumstances connected with the case, but investigation soon showed it to be true. Four days ago A. Rolland, a wealthy gunsmith, doing business at No. 51 Boulevard Deavray, and residing at No. 24 Eue Magnal, Leige, Belgium, arrived here with his wife. M. Rolland had been an exhibitor at the Paris exposition, and at its close started, with his wife, on a pleasure tour around the world. . They had been married only a short time, and were making a sort of extended bridal trip. Th y visited China, Japan and numerous other countries and crossed over to San Francisco, whence they came to Chicago, and then here, proceeding leisurely and visiting the country on the way. They took rooms at tbe FansHouse, but boarded at Romaine's French restaurant. They were in the hahit of havhofeL CP f coffee in 108 moraiB at tae M. Holland informed M. Romaine yesterday afternoon that this would be their last day here, as they intended to take the 2 d m. train tnr Xaw Vn.lr 1 - - - " ucum iney proposed sailing for Paris. He exhibited his railway tickets, already purchased, and said that by way of passingthe morning pleasantly he and his wife intended to visit the isiands at the head of the falls, where they could lounge in the shade and enjoy a last, long' look at the wonderful scene before quitting it forever. He therefore requested bis host to have breakfast ready for them at 7 o'clock and said that they would return in time for the parting dinner. They reached the restaurant promptly on time, and seemed to enjoy the meal very much. Tbey were both in the best of spirits, and on going out waved M. Romaine a laughing adieu. What followed must be gathered from M. Holland's lips, as nobody else can be found who saw the accident. He says that they reached the island about 8:3t o'clock, and passing out to the Third Sister, fat down and spent a pleasant hour reclining under the trees. There were on the island when they first went there another lady and two little boys, but these persons subsequently went ' away, though M. Rolland was unaware of their absence ontil he looked' around to call for their assistance. About 9:30 o'clock, as nearly as he can judge, Mme. Holland became tbtrsty, -and asked him for a silver dnnEing enp . which he carried in a velvet case in his breast pocket He banded it to her, and abstractedly looked in another direction while she arose and proceeded to fill it on the scot where tbe accident occurred. There ' is a flat rock jutting out of the sward and' extending to tbe water, above which it rises about a foot.

He waited a quarter of an hour in a vain hope that bis wife would arise again, and then rushed off to give the alarm. Being unable to speak English, he went direct i to M. Romaine, who published the first tidings of the disaster. The fact that M. Holland did not inform any sof the island keepers, and -that nobody else taw the accident, caused his story to-be doubted at first, but when - his standing was learned, and it was found that there . were very few persons along the shores at the time, and those in sutm positions that the bushes between tbe road &rjd the water would naturally obscure their VKw . of the . rapids, with Mr. Rolland's undoubted in . tense grief, the current of opinion changed, and a deep gloom has been thrown oyer tbe community.
