A GHOSTLY DRUIA.

McDowell's College Again ths Scene ol an Astonishing Tableau. Apparitions Been la the Eiuntsd Obm"ber After Midnight. Thm Spirit uallMts Preparing to Te-t tli I'henotnen on. ISt. Louis Dispatch.J McDowell's College, the ruined scene of the recent supernatural manifestation!, wis on

I Saturday and Sunday evenings, the cynosure I ' of all eyes, and a large number of gentlemen in different parties explored the building constantly yesterday, while ethers gathered V on the vacant lot on the corner of Eighth and (T Gratiot streets and watched the southern

side of the stone tower with unflagging interest. Nothing occurred to break the Sab ' bath stillness, however, all day long. Neither did anything of an unueual character happen on Saturday night, owing probably to the crowd of people who infested the whole edifice, filling It with

noises and being as certainly out of rapport V with anything of a spiritual nature as one could well conceive.

A party of gentlemen was luade up on Saturday evening to attend the . manifestations and make some farther etfort toward a rational explanation of the mystery. As long as the parties with lanterns kept possession of the buildings it was, of course, no use to make any attempt, and when the last of these departed, about 10 o'clock, a long and fruitless watch was begun, which ended at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, and only went to pro re nothing at all. Fortunately the crowd had not been able to discover tb stairway leading to THE BMCCTCD CIIAKrSKR in the third story of the tower, and hence none of the conditions of an apparltiou were disturbed. Oa Sunday evening the College was again filled with a crowd of cul rioeity-inepired ghost-hunters, who found no oeiter amusement man 10 wots, upon eacn other's superstitious fears with bogus demonstrations. At 8 o'clock in the evening Mr. Abend, who was spoken of in this connection before, Mr. Griffin, Mr. Harrington. J. Be ale and a i'ost-Digpatch reporter met at Mr. Abend's house, on i ratio t street, and fixed thenibelve8 thoroughly for a complete

examination of the mystery. The party arrived at the rear of the College a few moV mnls before 9 o'clock and proceeded lo the top story as quickly as possible. Men bearI , - . 1 I J 1 1

mg lanterns were waauermg aimiees:y about the building peering into every crack and cranny, and it was a hard task to shake tome of these people off. Epen after paining tbe haunted chamber singular noises from these would-be explorers filled the plaoe, and each gentleman of the party prt ;rved a most difcreet od thorough silence to evade

II the persons below. The sitting facilities of tbe room were extremely limited, and the cold winds whistled around the tower chill ingly, so that the watch was an extremely . iinmmfnrtaKte one. Each one was rrnmlri

with a dark lantern well hidden in the folds of his overcoat, and it was expected that whatever imposture there might be present would be certainly detected. The clocks in the Christian Brothers' Coilfg? were beard striking 10 and 11, and nothing occurred Whispered cozTersations between twos and threes of the watchers had a'most induced the party to give up the exploit, when 12 i t -i t. i .j : j . 3 a . .

i i uciwkiuuuucj. ik was uru ueiiutu luni I tbe vigil should be kept up until 1 o'clock. t0 when, if nothiog happened, tbe company would go home.

IJtt YASirEKTATION-S. Cut very few minutes had pureed after this decision until the lonesome silence or the tower was broken by a (train of weird music, which seemed to be descending from the cupola. It was a plaintive wait, harmonious, bat inexpressibly sal, and while there was apparently nothing of the human voice in the melody it bore no re semblance to any instrument except possibly an teolion harp. The music swelled and became louder as it approached the floor, waning and thengrowirg louder and louder until it copied the dep braes groan of au organ fugue. Tbe harmony ceased and the

!y room from eome inexplicable source became j titled with a dim white light tn srorjgconV 'trast to the pitchy darkness without, and A which win strong enough to enable one to Vmake out t!w shape of every object in tbe room. The dark lanterns-, of which there V were several, in tbe room, were at this point turned on by a preconcerted signal, but they added nothing to tbe light, ai they were all oat. In the middle of the nebulous illumination of the center of the room, it became

possible to make out the hazy outlines of what appeared to ba a common table. It was ague and ehadowy, however, and it paled and came several times before tbe whole party were quit are of its identity. When the table had fully materialized, the music was beard again, and a human body, nude, gradually evolved Itself out of thin air upon ' the table. As far as could be made out in the semi darkness, it was ni Arraarrnv of a beactitcl womas, ' Cer long hair reaching quite to the floor beneatn, ana Der person, though wasted away by famine and disease, retained enough of its fair proportions to testify how much auty the girl once had. It took a loot; me for tbe materialization to reach this stage, as some of the gentlemen present would continually try to push forward and acaa more cloJ-ely the mystery, and on each ttempt the shadowy tableau laded away and kened to mere outlines. Utter silence, however, restored the picture, and the party waitedbreatbleseiy for the denoument. At last the table and tbe figure assumed the clear cdt distinctness of a picture in the field of a stereoptteon, and by each side appeared two farther shadows which cme out of the gloom. They were men. and armed apparently with long dissecting knives. ( ... i 1 tu i -f . a IV J V 1 X i -aiy uoa: exciaiiiiwa aucuu uuaraeiy auu I loudly, "tbe etory that 8 Deiner told is working itself out." At the first syllable of the ylmprecation, is though a suddsn blackness Nad burst into the room, tbe tableau had gone out, and it was utterly impossible to . distinguish tbe faintest point of light any where within tne enamour; ana caraiy naa the echo of his voice ceased' reverberating ,when every ear was filled Kith the awful shriek of a tortured woman. Tbe sound was 'a fearful one not loud, bat horrible lo the suggestion of what was behind it. It ended in a gargle, and seemed to be choked off by other hands. The crash of rlass. which was ."Vlao beard before, puocutted the atillnese, ( and the hurry of fooUteps making off toward I the northern wall. None of the party felt to Aal i following npthe noises, bat each came quietly out of the towers and without even a word ol farewell to eaca other, separated to think ovtr what they had seen and beard. Looking back at the upper windows i of the tower, faint gleams of light could be ru ado out within the chamber; and two of the party declared this morning that looking up from Eighth street they had discerned ' the sheeted figure of a woman vaguely outlined at the ea&Wrn window, which fadsd as they looked. a BKAVCX TO-JUOHT. ) I .

Bald, will be held under the direction of Mr. Tuckett, tbe well-known taedium lecturer and merchant, whose place of business on Franklin avenue, near Ninth, will be the starting point of the expedition. If say one in this city can unravel this mystery, Mr. Toe tt Is the man, as hi experience and ability in this line, as in many others, are without equals. The college buildings were to-day the scene of much fruitless exploration, and doubtless a crowd will be in attendance apain to-night in aimless search of something startling. If the people could only control their curiosity so as to give the spiritualists a chance to elucidate the mystery, it is quite passible that the secret of the college will be made public, and several troubled spirits laid to rest.

A GLASS GOURMAND. He Devour Tumbler a He Would Pie A New Way to Get Sober Benert-nut Cellini Outdone A Valuable Jaw for the Coming Campaign. l-New York Mercury. A bnrly man, with a full, florid face, sat be bird an empty beer glass in How saloon in South Washington Square lait Wednes day evening, and chewed something which crunched harshly between bis teeth, as if it might be brick or paving stone, or sme similar material of resisting force. The Mercury reporter had just stopped to look at him, when he picked up tbe broken half of a common Rhine wine glass, and took a bite as big as a quarter out of it, as unconcerned y as a hungry tramp would rip six square inches out of a bakery pie. There be sat grinding and champing the glass up with a noise LIK.K A ViCARTZ CRUSHEK, while a dozen bar-room frequenters encouraged him with commendations. "He's in first rate trim to-night," observed one. "I never see blm do better," remarked another. "Good for yon, Baver." "Chaw the juice out of it," "How's the rUvor, old man? r "Doa't you want some horseradish? ' and Mr. Bayer masticated deliberately on, twinkling his eyes with horrible gusto, that made the uninitiated spectator's blood run cold, and his flesh creep. When there was no more g'a?s in his month to crush, he slid bis tongue out to exhibit that it was coa'ed with a vitreous paste, and then washed the mess down with a glass of beer the bartender handed him. "What did you do that for?'' asked the reporter, as tbe glass devourer sank back in his chair and licked his lips as if with reminiscent regret. "Because I was hungry," was the reply. "HuDgry for gla's?" "No, beer. They wouldn't stand a drink for me, because they said I was loa led already. 8o I eat the glass to scber me." "And do you mean to say it sobers you to eat glass?" "I've eat it for 20 years, and I ought to fcoow, I guess. It's the best thing out JT KETTLKS YOL'R 8TOMACU just like a seidhtz powder. I've chewed up a piece of glass when I've been so drunk I couldn't see, and in less than half an hour I was all right." "What effect does it have?" "It acts on me as a purg?, always. I believe it's better for that purpoee than medicine, and it onzht to be used in the hospitals. You con 1,1 have the glas ground to n powder, you know, and give It to a patient tne same as any other purgative, instead of sickening them with epicac or salts. You might mix sugar with the glass and make it real nice to take. Why don't I recommend it? I have. I wrote to a paper here about it, and wnat do you think they did? Why, printed rov letter in an editorial headed, Look to Your Windows,' and said it must have been written by a lunatic. I know that editorial was written by a d d fool. I told a friend of mine a doctor up the street of it, and arfked him what I had better do?' 'And what did he say?" ''He said hold my tongue, or I'd land ou the Ifland in a strait jacket. And they cail this a c:v!Hzd country! What istheuse ot finding out a tning, I want to know?" And Mr. Bayer began to HKW THE t-TEM Ol Tl K LlM) up in disgust. Some one asked him if be conld chew stone too. He said, wby not Chipped a fragment from a fctone-china match-bolder and began masticating it and the glai-s into a bash. ' No patent sausage cutter ever worked with more precision. A b'ght of the colossal energy of that single pair of maii.lsrjs would have driven a Wabash campaign orator frantic with envy. When Mr. Biyer finished his lunch the reporter asked if it was easy to do. Mr. Bayer said: "05, yes. All you want is strong teeth. Look here." And ducking his head without any preparation, he nipped the bfcck of a heavy chair between two rows of molars and jerked it up to a level with his face, where he held it for a second straight ouc. Töea be eat it down, still without using his hands, drained another tumbler of tne Gambrlnian beverage, and lifted the four-legged table by its edge as he had the chair. Before any one could compliment him on his genius for J-Ol.ITK'8 UK WKKT OK. "I saw a chap eat glas once when I was a young fellow in Germany. It was at a country fair. I thought I'd like to do it, too, so when I went home I tried it. At first I used to cut myself, but I soon discovered the real secret of glass eating. I discovered it in the life of B6nevenuto Cellini, the great sculptor, by Go-'he. Some prietst tried to poison Cellini with diamond dust, and gave some diamonds to a lapidary to be ground to powder, which was to be distributed in his food. The lapidary sold the diamonds and ground up eome common g!ass. This was put in a dish of salad, and Cellini discovered it after he had eaten some. He found that it was glass and didn't hurt him at all ; while if it bad been diamond it would have created ulcers in his intestines, which would have killed him. So he experimented on dogs and cat, and found out that there's no harm in eating glass, which DIGEST AND PARSES A WAT." tty way of emphasizing his lecture, Mr. Bayer took another nibble from what was left of the wine glsis. He chewed, the reporter observed, carefully and slowly, with a powerfur pressure of the jaws, that showed the masseter muscles in strong masses through the fleth f his cheeks, lie continued masticating till the glass was reduced to a powder, and washed it down as before. There were no visible scratches either on the interior surfaces of his lips or his tongue. His teeth were not unusually laree, but regular, set so clote together as if they had been cemented, and with perfectly even surfaces, which joined without leaving a space between them which a needle point could penetrate. A lead pencil which was handed bim he crushed in half, grinding out apiece just the width of his teeth, with edges on the separated sections of the pencil just as smooth as a knife would make them. A lead half dollar he bit in half, acd he made dents in a buzzard dollar that looked as if they had been pounded there with a hammer. "Wby don't you go in training for the pie-biting championship?" queried the Mercury representative. Mr. Bayer SHOOK HIS HKAD OBAVELV. "I don't like pies," he answertd; "they ain't healthy." He had reached the sixteenth beer on the new deal, and was lovingly ogling the bar mirror when tbe reporter departed. If some one don't give him pie in disguise, or serve him his beer in a diamond mug some day about lunch time, he will be an acquisition in the coming campaign. A ton of the Emerald Isle, meeting a countryman whose face was not perfectly remembered, after saluting him most cordially, Inquired hie name. "Walsh," said the gentleman, "Walsh Walsh," responded Faddy; "are yen from Dablln? I know two old maids there of that came. Was Ither of them year mother?''

Terrible Domestic Tragedy in South Carolina. A Man Kill IfU Wife and Brother, and Tben Suicide. Sjx-clal to the Cincinnati Commercial) CoLfMätA, 8. C, March 2 A heart-rending domestic tragedy occurred late yesterday afternoon at a small village called SilverStreet, in Newberry couaty. Mr. W. Spearman, a respectable gentleman of means and well known as a successful farmer, yesterday afternoon, upon coming into his house jnst before dark, found his younger brother at the supper table. "I want to speak to you, brother," he said, and simultaneously drew a large, sharp knife out of his sleeve. The young man, not suspecting anything, bent over, and the other made a strike and cut hii throat, severing the jugular vein, and causing almost instantaneous death. Tbe slayer tben rushed into the adjoining room, with the knife in his hand, and sought his wife. He threw his arm around her neck, likewise cutting her throat With blood-atained bands he then laid the keen blade to his own throat and made an ugly gash four inches longv When assistance came it was found that the two men were dead. The wife shortly afterward expired. This is regarded as one of the most remarkable tragedies on record. Mr. Spearman was a sober man, and was thought to be on the most affectionate terms with his brother and wife. The only rational hypothesis of the awful deed is that Spearman was suffering under a temporary aberration. The affair has caused great excitement throughout Newberry county. A CONFEDERATE IIKHO. A Sergeant Wlio Kliked Hin Life to Give Water to Iii Dying Foe. ICharloston News Richard Kirkland was the son of John Kirkland, an estimable citizen of Kershaw county, a plain, substantial farmer of tbe olden time. In 14U1 he entered, as a private. Captain J. D. Kennedy's company (E) S-c ond South Carolina volunteers, iu which company he was a sergeant in December, W2 The day after tbe sanguinary battle of Fredricksburg, Kershaw's brigade occupied the read at the foot of Marye's Hill and the grounds about Marye's house, the scene of their desperate defense of the d-iy before. One hundred and fifty yards in front of the road, the atone facing of which constituted the famous stone wall, lay Hyke'a division of regulars, United States army, between whom and our troops a murderous skirmish occupied the whole day, fatal to many who heedlessly exposed themselves, even for a mo ment. The ground between tbe lines was bridged with the wounded, dead and dying Federals, victims of the many desperately gallant assaults of that column of 3G.U00 brave men hurled vainly against that inpregnable position. All that day those wounded men rent the air witb their groans and egoniziog cries of "Water! water!" In tbe afternoon the general sat in the north room upetairs of Mrs. Stevens' hous3 in front of the road surveying the field, when Kirkland c.-tme up. With an expression of indignant remonstrance pervading his perton, he said, "General! 1 can't stand this." "What is the matter, sergeant?" asked the general. He replied, "All night and all dsy I have beard these poor people cry i eg for water, and I can stand it no longer. I come to ask permission to go and give them water." The general regnrded him for a moment with feelings of profound admiration, and said, "Kirkland, don't you know that you would git a bullet through your head th moment you stepped over the wall?" "Yes, sir," he said, "I know that; but if you will let me, I am willing to try." After a pause, tbe general Bald: "Kirkland, I ought not to allow you to run such a rlK, bat the sentiment which actuates you is eo soble that I will not refuse your request, trusting that God may protect you. You may go." The sergeant's eves lighted up with pleasure. He said, "Thank you, sir" and ran rapidly down stairs The general heard him pause for a moment aud then return, bounding two steps at a time. He thought tbe sergeants heart had failed him. He was mistak-n. The sergeant stopped at the door and eaM: "General, can I show a white handktrchief?" The general slowly shook his head, saying emphatically: "No, Kirk land, you can't do that" "All right, sir," be said. "I'll take the chances," and ran down with a bright smile on bis handsome countenance. With profound anxiety he was watched as he stepped over the wall on his errand of mercy Cbrlstllke mercy. Unharmed Ii reached tbe nearest euflerer. He knelt beside him, tatderly raised the droopiog head, rested it gently upon his own noble breast, and poured the precious, life-givirg fl aid down the fev,er-scorched throat. This done he laid him tenderly down, placed his knapsack under hi head, straightened out his broken limb, spread his overcoat over him, replaced his empty canteen with a full one, and turned to another sufferer. By this time his purpose was well understood on both sides, and all danger was over. From all parts of the field arose fresh cries of "water, water; for God's sake water!' More piteous still, the mute appeal of eome who could only feebly lift a band to my, here, too, is life and suffering. For an hour and a half did this xninisteriDg angel pursue his labor of mercy, nor Cf ased to go and return until be relieved all tbe wounded on that part ot tbe field. He returned to his post wholly unhutt. Who sball say how aweet hii rest that winter'a night beneath the cold star:! Sergeant Kirkland distinguished himself in battle at Ge tysburg. and was promoted lieutenant At Chickamauga he fell on the field Cof battle,) in the hour of victory. He was but a youth when called away, and and had never formed those ties from which might have resulted a posterity to enjoy his fame and bless his country; but he has bequeathed to the American youth yea to the world an example which dignifies our common humanity. MADISON CENTENARIAN. The Oldetit Living Peraon in the Htate of Indiana Mrs. Sarah Monely Aged HO. Madison (Ind.) Correspondence to the Cincinnati Gazette. Having made an appointment to call upon Mrs. Sarah Mosely, tbe subject of this sketch, and who is undoubtedly the most wonder ful old person in the State, in company with a friend, I wended my way to the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Owen Bare, which is situated on the northwest corner of Presbyterian avenue and Poplar Lane. Entering the house we we're pleasantly entertained by Mrs. E S.Hill, a gran idiughter of the centenarian, until the old lady awoke from a nap, which was not very long. Entering another room I was introduced to her, and to her daughter, Mrs. Naomi Bare. Although not very well, tbe old lady was sitting by the fire, and communicating to her my errand, I learned from her and the other members of the family the following brief outline of her history: Mrs. Mostly, whose maiden name was Ballon, was bora in North Carolina, February 15, 1770, and is now, consequently, in her one hundred and eleventh year. Her father was of French birth, and the family of which he came was noted for the longevity of its members. Although he died at a compara

tively early age for one of that family, he waswell advanced ia years. Mrs. Mosely bad seven brothers, two of whom served in the Colonial army during tbe war of tna revolution. One of ' them, David Ballon, served seven years, and wai captain and aide-de-camp to General Washington. When the patriot army was disbanded he started home, but never reached there, having contracted smallpox, of which he died. The pay due him for his services was never received by tbe family, a circumstance which still worries the mind of Mrs. Mosely. Mrs. Mosely's father was driven from NorthCarolina by tbe Tories, and settled in Virginia. After tbe revolutionary war the family emigrated to Kentucky, where, while only in her thirteenth year, she married. In speaking of this early marriage, her daughter, Mrs Bare, said: "When she married she was playing with dolls, and two years after with a child of her own." She reared Ja family of 10 children, one of whom was born after the death of her husband, six of them being alive and living iu this vicinity; three are known to be dead, and of one all trace has been lost for some years. Tbe children living are Mrs Jane Renfrew, aged 8G, who resides at New Albany: Mrs. Sarah Price, aged 70; Mrs Melinda Holmes, aged M!; Mrs. Naomi Bare, aged 54; Mrs. Ann Cheatham, aged 52. and Mrs. America Tread way, aged 50, all of whom reside in or about this city. The one not heard from for some year is Oimstead Mcsely, who, when latt heard from, resided in Illinois. One of her brothers was with General Jacksou at the battle of NewOrleana. In her childhood she witnessed 8oms of tbe itirrlng scenes of the revolution, besides encountering the privations and dangers of frontier life a hundred years ago. Many ar tbe stories she tells of escapes from bears and wolves, and to write on paper tbe incidents of her life and her recollections of the years thronen which she has passed would, to nse her own language, "take all the paper in town a whole store full." All ot her brothers lived to advanced ages, tbe last one dying about 15 years ago. Her father has been dead nearly 100 years, having died before ehe had growth. Until five years ago she was very active and with the aid of her cane would take long walks at a pace which many young ladies would find difficulty in accomplishing, and often took horseback rides. At that time, being 10 years old, she fell down three steps and injured her thigh eo badly that it wai feared ehe would not live, and in anticipation of her death ehe gave minute directions in regard to her burial, going into tbe (lightest details She recovered, but tiace has been unable to walk, although (he eits up and smokes her pipe with tbe greatest enjoyment She has tmoked ever tince she was a girl, and regards emoking not only a great comfort, but a source of invtgoraticn. Her appearance does not indicate her great age, for her form is but Blightly bent, while her limbs are asstraight as are her long, flexible fingers In ber youth she must have been a remarkaoly handsome woman, and has not forgotten the time when she was the belle of the section of Kentucky in which she lived. Her hair and eyes were dark in her youth, end tbe latter still snap and twinkle as she relates incidents of her past life. Two years go her hair, which wea whitened with age, turned to i;s original color black. The circumstance created considerable excitement among the friends of the family, and so many were the n-quest for locks of her hair that it is probable she would have had none lett had it not again commenced to turn whits. At present it is of an iron gray appearance, there bring little streaks of dark and white all over her head. About tbe time of her accident sb9 cut a new tooth, and for awhile it looked as if she would have a full new set without calling upon a dentist for them; but the hope has not been folly realised, although at times her gums swell and the edges of the teeth can be felt with the finger. Her hear log is but (lightly impaired, her eyesight is good, and although her voice has lost its former tones she speaks a adibly, distinctly, and at times with great animation.

High Art of Swindling. Cbamt are' Journal. Two fellows whose money was almost entirely expended, determined that a wealth' hotel keeper should be the means of replenishing their purses. Accordingly, one of tbem, giving up what money he had to the other, entered the pre mites of the selected victim, while his confederate kept out of sight The visitor inquired for the landlord, to whom he propounded the query: "Can you give me a good dinner?" Of conrsa the resources of the establishment were equal to such a demand, and in a few mi nute a the "good dinner" was served and duly discussed. Then came the question of payment; but the guest bad no money, aud pointed out to his host that, had he poi sensed the "needful," he should have ordered what he had consumed in the usual manner; that he had (imply sought information concerning the ability of tbe hou;e and tbe in clination of its owner to supply him with a good dinner, and was much obliged for tbe same. A policeman was called in, but his decision leaned toward the Impecunioua diner it might be considered a debt, but the criminal law could do nothing. Tbe gueet departed. The landlord ground his teeth. Not long after this, number two arrived with tbe query: "Can you give me a good dinmr?' A smile of terrible meauing crossed the landlords face, "x es. yes" he replied; "taka a saat." He hasteuel out. and returned with a bucket of water, which with his own hands he dashed over the applicant for the good dinner; who thereupon jumped to his feet and demanded an ex planation of such extraordinary treatment "IIa! ba!" laughed the incensed Boniface, as he glared about for something wherewith to chastise the object of his wrath "ha, ha! You fellows can't fool me twice in the same way." The visitor appeared astounded; toe irate landlord appeared anxious to kick the visitor out A violent Ecene occurred. Tbe would-be guest was denominated a swindler and a robber. Tbe officer of the law waa again summoned. Kich mads charges sgainst tbe other. The infuriated host called in his solicitor. The visitor declared that he was perfectly able and willing to pay for what he required; exhibited bis money, threat ened proceedings for assault and battery. and vowed he would bring his action for slander as well. The landlord's solicitor considered his client was getting cheaply out of the tcrape by paying down 50 as a solatium for the wounded feelings and the wet clothes of swindler number two! Fraud on Virtue. New ora: Ban.1 Mr. Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana, who holds the post of secretary of the navy in the fraudulent administration, came over here from Washington the other day and de livered a speech on the observance of the Sabbath. "There is no use," he said, in tbe peculiar Eoglish which appears to be spoken in the pawpaw and persimmon groves of tbe Wabash valley, "in talking about morality and virtue and propriety without you have the o Abbat a as tbe basis upon which they all rest;" and he contended that the observance of Sunday after the style which he prefers should be enforced by means of penal legis lation. We shall not here undertake to debate this proposition of Mr. Thompson's; but we desire to intimate that he is hardly a proper person to argue about morality or virtue or religious observances before any audience whatever. The man who holds a public office as the result of fraud, the man who knowingly becomes the assistant and sub ordinate of a fraudulent president, had bet ter hold his tongue whenever morality and virtue are publicly considered. More men brake In the railroad business than in any other.

Secret of the New York Senator Sueeea Hl Prodigious Memory. Utlca Correspondence Philadelphia Bulletin .1 The great secret of his success is his fidelitv to friendship, lie never deserts a man who espouses his cause under any circumstances whatever. He never drops an old friend to make a new one. and the man who does his work is absolutely certain of reward when the power of conferring it is within Conklicg's reach. The appointment of Justice YV ara üunt was in exact accordance with tbe policy of Conkling's life. He never forgives an enemy and never forget the man who has betrayed him. o second endeavor on the part of such an one to secure his friendship counts for anything with him Perhaps exLieutenant Governor Stewart L. Woodford illustrates this truth as well as any man. Conkling is an uncompromising man, and it is said that in partisanship the man who fights and never compromises never lacks followers He is au attractive speaker, but is not one to awaken any enthusiasm, while he may and does appeal to admiration perhape because he always seems to bj speaking from the head and never from the heart It is said thathe never extemporiz r, invariably committing to memory tvery word that he utters. To his work he bringt a rare skill, and apparently is abl to forecast speeches of his opponents and to prepare the probable acswers to tbem; so that be appears tothe bearer as a most capa ble controversiilist The defects of an early education, that was bv no means finished, still cling to him. and in 1872 he rounded a rhetorical period with tbe harbor of Madrid!" H x epeech mak ing power is the accomplishment of a lifd of study in that direction.

A Oood Voire. IBaptlst Weekly. One must start in youth, and be on the watch night and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that sba'l speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. But this is the time when a sharp voice is most apt to be got. You often hrar bojs and girls say words at play witb a quick, tharp tone, as if it were tbe snap of a whip. When one of tuern gets vexed ycu will bear a voice that sounds es if it were made up of a narl, a wbice and a bark. Such a voice often speaks woree tbar the heart feels. It shows more 111 will in tbe tone than in words. It is often in mirth tbat one gels a voice or a ton that is tbarp, which sticks to bim through l ie, and stirs up ill will and grief, and falls like a drop of gall on the joys of home. Such as these g-t a (harp Home voice for use, and keep their beet voices for those they meet elsewhere, just as thev would save their best caks aod iis for guestr, and all'thelr sour focd for their own board. I would say to all tbe boys acd girl, "U.se your guest voice at home; watch it day by day, as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to yon in days to come than tne bed pearl bid in tbe sea. A kind voice is a joy like a lark's eocg to a beartb and home. It is a light that ettigs as well as shines. Train it to ex-tet tones now, and it will keep in tune through life " They were sitting silently by the parlor fire, intently watching tbe hands of the clock as they slowly crawled around to the biggest striking place. Suddenly she said: ' Mr. Lourdand. can you tell me why you are like a century plant?" Mr. L. nervously adjusted his eye-glass, wriggled about in his chair, and stammered : "Be be caw-cause I sh rh sha'l I I live for ror fore vtr." 4 No, you dunce; it's because it takes you so long to leave!

THE 1880 INDIANA WEEKLY SITE SE ENLARGED AND IMPROVED, 1.00 PUR ANIJTJH THE PAPERS FOR TilE FEÖPLE rilOSI'ECTFS FOR 1SSO. The coming presidential year promises to t tbe most eveuUul and thrilling In a politick sense tbat we have ever witnessed, and wtL determine questions of tbe moet vital Import ance to every cltlxen of the Kuue and nation It la not Improbable Indeed, It li almost cer tain tbat, upon tbe determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. These questions will be thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Bentlbci has arranged for a Orst-cla, experienced special eorrcuuondeut at Wash Ington.and, In addition to giving a true account of all tbe general proceedings in that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent statesmen, and without depriving our patrons or the usual amount of reading matter. Tbe Sentinel will hereafter contain a supplement, making In aü si xty Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of tl.e Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelligence to do Its whole duty in affording intoriaatlon to its subscribers upon ail these topics of such vast moment. As In 76 so In "80 Indiana will be called n;on to take a first position In tbe tront of the great contest, and npon the success or failure ol the great and gallant Democracy of our täte will depend tho fate of lMies the niota rtentoaa ever submitted to Um arbitrament of a tree people. we shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occaslou may require, to an entlrelv Äew Ptinneln the politics of our State we mean the lorced emigration for temporary ß artisan puropses ol pauper negroes from the oath into Indiana. The managers and lend ers of the Republican party. In our State and at Washington, are now engaged In this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means In their power to promote it advancement. They have failed, utterly failed, lo convince our people of the correctness of their political principles by reasou or argument; ineir appeals to hatred and prejudice nave alien narmlees: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and privat moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now ny an African invasion of worse than a vandal qorde of beggars and mendicants to o er ride tne voice öf the people of the Htate, aud to arown tne Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the ewiaulMpg party, the Dicket assailing corps of Kepubicanfrm in Indiana, Is thus maae ap not from ihe Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmana orKhackiefcTda of the State; not from tbe Intelligence or ability of that party, but is compoised of a motley, parti-colored gang of wr iched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless Importation are rrmtie ns- of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated faction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the height of popular rights and popular liberty, predict that this movement will aluo be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method ot manufacturing party mr.jorities In a State, we shall at all times give tbe latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal Union, the rights of the people and the States, od and Inseparable now aud forever. The merits of the Sentinel as ageneral newspaper are so well known among tbe fanner of this Stat, especially those of the Democratic persoasion, tbat commendation of it is deemed superfluous. We wlil add, however, that the management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to Its patrons for the money. In Its news, Its editorial, Its literary and miscellany In a word, In Its general readingit shall not be surpassed by any paper circulated In tbe State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man in the State can afiord to do witbout tbe Weekly Sentinel at thetiitall cost at which it is fnrnl&hed. OUR PRE11I Ifl)U(ME5TS Every subscriber to the Weekly State Sentinel, at 1.2V per year, will receive acoy of the Sentinel's very able law treatise, by James B. McCrelllii, Esq., entitled THE LAW OF THE FARM The Information contained In this little work is Invaluable to every farmer, white any business mau can consult it witn proCL.
