Uazette.l John Forrtster was very correctly named, for, until a few days ago. he had spent his life in the woods. Several days ago be threw aside his maul, came to the city, and now bandies the somewhat lighter rock hammer. The story of John's downall shall be briefly related. Shortly after arriviog in the city be was attracted by a sign bearing the inscription: "Meals at All Hours." Entering th place, and meeting the proprietor, he said: "You keep a tavern here, don't you?" "No. I keep a restaurant" "I den't know much about your new names; but you feed folks here, don't you?" "Yes, sir." "Well. I want to board here three days, or I reckon until I get a job of some kind I see your sign ssys 'meals at all hours.' You don't mean that", do you?" "Certainly I mean it I'll board you three days for $3 " "And give me my meals at all hours?" "Yes, sir." "Here, take the $3 I never set myself up as a regular eater, but I'll buck agin you for tbe next three daya. I think that I can stand ber about tbat long. It's 11 o'clock. Give me something to eat." A meal was brought out and quickly dispatched, and remarking tbat he would he back on time, Mr. Forrester left. At 12 o'clock he came back and ate again. "You n edn't Blare at me," be said to one of the waiters. "You are a regular boarder, are you?" "The reguläres t one you've got I don't intend to miss a meal. I've got a chance now to git even for bein' hongry many a Ume." At 1 o'clock John came back and remarked as he hung uo his hat: "I'm on time. It's.1 o'clock. Fetch me in suthin' to eat." Tbe waiter went away muttering, and brought in a rather slim meal. "Look a here," said John, "don't try to go back on your contract. I reckon you did rather underrate my ability, but I'm a man." At 2 o'clock John came back and took a seat The proprietor cime la and asked him wbat be wanted. "I want my dinner, sapper or breakfast, just what you are a mind to call it" "You have already eaten here three times to-day." "I know that " "Why do you come again?'' "Because it's 2 o'clock." "It is not supper time." "No, but it's 2 o'clock time." "I don't understand you, sir. What do yon mean?" "i our understanding may nave Deen injured by my surprising ability. I came here with the understanding that I was to have my meals at all hours." "The contract has been adhered to; yoa have come irregularly." "No, air; I've come here regular. It was tbe agreement that I was to have a meal every hour, and I am going to stand up to it if it packs my stomach as tight as a green watermelon. You are trying to impose on me because I'm from the cocntry. I have made arrangements with a boy to wake me np every hour to night, and I'm comin here to eat That's my business now, and I'll act fair wfth you and eat every time. Give me an oyster can of coffee and some ball sassage." The proprietor banded tbe man $3 and re3 nested him to leave. A fight ensued, and obn waa led away by the police. When be completes his rock pile engagement he will aue the restaurant for damages. Hayes, Grant and Bristow. Essay on Mr. Hayes In Philadelphia Times.l While tbe qnestion of Inauguration was still surrounded with great uncertainties. General Grant, through different channels, had insisted to Governor Hayes that if the Inauguration waa consummated. General Bristow should not be recognized by the incoming administration. On the part of General Grant's friends, who were privy to It, this demand was coupled with conditions. The reason for this unseemly request, which under tbe circumstances was little less than a threat, waa tbat be had acted treacherously with General Grant, and had attempted, through the whiky prosecutions, to break down the administration in the interest of hit own political ambitions. No one, however, knew better than General Grant and his Immediate surroundings that this charge against General Bristow was absolutely false, and that General Grant had been fully informed by his secretary of the treasury, at each stage of the investigation which preceded the wbisky trials, of every scrap of evldenoe that seemed even remotely to affect tboaa who were officially connected with the president or those who weit recognized as his personal friends. The real teeret of this bitter hatred ia both interesting and significant now. It was the fact that the reform element which rallied

In tbe party to support Mr. Bristow for nomination had rendered It necessary for General Grant to abandon tbe cherished idea of a third term. As a matte: of history this was notabaodoned for aome time after tbe developments of tbe St. Louis wbitky frauds, as shown by the fact that those found to be implicate! there were notified tbat they must quietly submit to tbe situation until afier General Grant had been renominated, wben they might look for help. General John M. Harlan and hla friends had every reason to assume, as they did, that he, as the near friend of General Bristow, would be made attorney general. Bat tbe position assumed by General Grant was found to stand In tbe way, and chiefly for this reason It waa abandoned. At a later period, and when he bad turned agaics'. General Bristow a fact not generally known his appointment became possible and served a double purpose. OCR COSTLY FOREIGN SERVICE.

Remarks of Sir. Cox In tbe House Abolish the Useless Ministers and Their Satellites! 'Congressional Record. Mr. Cox I rose a few moments ago for tbe purpose of saying to the House, as chairman of tbe committee on foreign affaire, tbat any intimation that we have been derelict in providing by law for a new consular and diplomatic system was not authorized by the fac s, at least in bo far as it referred to myself. It was said by the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Blount) that I have opposed again and sgain in this House the expensive and useless diplomscy by which our treasury is so much depleted, and for which there is no adequate compensation in the tervices rendered. Why should we not withdraw from the salary of diplomats as much money as is possible to aigrandiza the consular system? Tne great need of this country is the extension of trade. Let us find new avenues and opportunities for oar commerce. Why, therefore, should I not feel some resentment at remarks made on Saturday by gentlemen. Inasmuch as I could not tell, under the rules, what took place in the For eign Affairs committee? If the truth were known Its cha'rman should not be reproached in the slightest degree for any seeming neglect The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Townsend) referred to me and to my committee, to which he sent a general resolution asking for a radical change in this diplomatic system. Now I say, since it has been discussed here, that I have twice brought before tbat committee his resolution. I may sav, with propriety, that that committee is disinclined to make any such change as he recommended; and so far as I am personally concerned, 1 have debated the matter involved in Li resolution, here, years ago, year after year, till to me it is threadbare. My then able colleague (Mr. Hewitt). who at oa the io eigj Affairs ommittee, made an exhaustive speech of the tame tenor. I collec.ed from the Hansard English debates, as he had from the Globe and our Records, all that was worthy to be authority on a point of this kind. My friend from Kentucky (Mr. Blackburnt followed in this path. He would strike down these useless ministerial appendages. I cheer him in his work. In this day cf newspapers, steamships, railroads, and telegraphs (marine and terrestrial), and when the appliances of our civilization are making their marvels of advanc.ment, h it not time to disuse a system so (utile andliuial and so utter y effate? Wby not so restore us, even to the oldfashioned plan of "non entangling alliances" wbicn Washington, Franklin, and our fathers recommended, and which. In my more elaborate speech on this bill. I will show they recommended as infinitely superior to the unrepublicanand contemptible methods now in vogue? Wby not, if you p'ease, combine all Europe, or all South America, or Central America, or the Pacific coast (China and Japan) into one embassy, and. by shrewd business sense, remit the great bulk of our diplomatic work to one diplomatic bead, and its commercial work to our conbular system? However our consular system may be extended, is it not consummate? Sir. we have a splendid consular system. It does not need much reform. Here is a book prepared at the state department It is worth s'udying. It ramifies all through our commerce and into all Its viciisitndes, enterprises and fortunes. Now, sir, wben we are seeking thee foreign avenues of trade I would enhance and strengthen the commercial agencies, and none others. To do that abolish these luxurious, unrepublican and inordinate salaries for ambassadors and their satellites. Is it not their only business, when they chance to be at their posts, to dine at cafes, to dance attendance on nobility, to lis .en to the frivolous gossip of those who have no sympathy with republi caniem, to write silly epistles about court receptions and dances and fooleries, and who return to us so undemocratized, so donation allzed, that at their elegant leisure and abundant pleasure they patronize us, their superiors, after galivanting all through Europe at the expense of the tax-paying and bard-worklng people? lie Didn't Want It.

The Evening Post refers to a report that an effort was made to inveigle Wm. M. Evarts, aa president of tbe Union club, to preside at a dinner of the club to De Lessepa. Tbe intent was to enable Da Lesse ps to cable that he was entertained by the tecretary of state. The Post adds: "The suggestion tbat Mr. Evarta would permit himself to be used as a catspaw in this manner is simply and absurdly incredible." Tbe manner in which Mr. Evarts "does permit himself to be used as a catspaw" was shown is the electoral conspiracy. He pulled the forged certificates out of the fire on condition that the man who benefited by them should make him secretary of state. Ilayes' Little Swindle. Louisville Courier Journal.

HARTH ANN'S SENSATIONAL STORY.

The Alleged NlhllUt's Alleged Description of the Attack on Alexander. London Btandard, March 19.1 The Central Newa la responsible for the following narrative: It will be recollected that after tbe release of Uartmann by the French authorities he came to this country. 'We have to-day received from Hartmann the following authentic version of his attempt to take tbe czar's life by blowing up the train in which the emperor was traveling to Mojcow. He seems to be a medium-siz-d man of the better working clase. Uis manner is somewhat resetted. He has devoted bis life to the Russian revolutionary or Nihilist cause, and had prior to the Moscow affair bsen concerned in many of tbe desperate deeds directed by his party. He was once arrested and thrown into tbe prison at Kieff. but the revolutionists held his services to their cause t) be of such value that an extraordinary plan to accomplish his i elease was concocted. A Russian officer went one morning, acoom paoied by eight Nihilists dressed as soldiers, to the prison where Hartmann was confined, and, producing an official document, told the director, Wladestl, that by General Todlebon's orders the prisoner was to be surrendered to him. The plan succeeded, and in a few minutes after emerging from tbe prison Hartmann and the Russian officer (who is now self-exiled) were driving toward the frontier. Hartmann's account of the Moscow attempted regicide is as follows: "Of course my real name is neither Hartmann nor Maytr. I have used many aliases while carrying out our plans. My true name, however, is by no means unknown to Russian officials and members of the Third Section, and ever to Loris Melikoff. After conducting a propaganda in different parts of Russia last samme. which led to my arrest and escape from Kieff Prison, I was detailed to carry out the czir's execution. I have a practical knowledge of military operationa and the force of explosions, and I suppose it was on tbat account I was selected to conduct tbe attempt Going to Moscow. I hired a small house a few miles outside tbe city and situated within aome 40 yards of the main line of railway. The house was in a wretched condition. I waa dressed as a laborer, kept quiet and went about for some time as if attending to my place. After I bad satisfied myself that all suspicion wss averted, I set to work, aided by two companions, one of whom has long been my colleague. The nearest bouse was barely visible, and in the evening while two stood on the watch, the third undertook to dig a little trench with a spade in the frozen ground. Tbe trench was due but spade deep and wide, or five inches b i n ve inches. It ran from tbe rail way to the small outhouse attached to my dwelling Tne ground was very hard, and as we bad to proceed cautiously the diggtng occupied several days. In the trench as we proceeded with it four insulated wires were laid, and every night as we finished our work we filled tbe trench tbat had been cut, carefully removing all traces of excavation. The trench was dug along a furrow in the open field. , The dynamite we made ourselves in the house, and put it into four strong iron flasks, each of which held a little over an English pound. Wben everything was nearly completed, our plan all but fell through, owing to the failure of the Moscow electrician, whose suspicion was aroused, to deliver tbe batteries to fire the mine. This occurred the day before the explosion. My comrades and myself almost despaired, wben but a few hours before we bad congratulated ourselves on the completion of our task. The flasks containing the dynamite had been safely wrapped up and laid in a deep hole dug between tbe metals and beneath one of tbe wooden sleepers. My resolve wss soon taken. I sent my comrades away to a friendly peasant, some 20 miles off, in the South, and set out myselt to secure the batteries. With some little difficulty I persuaded the electrician to intrust them to me, and I at once returned and passed the night alone in the solitary house on the steppe. The wires I soon connected, and all waa in readiness for tbe coming train. The czar, I had been warned to expect, would travel by the goods train, so you see I at least did not stupidly blunder about the train. My explanation is simple enough. We were kept thoroughly informed by official friends of the czar s movements: We received warn ing that pursuing bis usual custom he would leave tbe official train, in which a figure representing tbe czar would be seated at a window cf the saloon carriage, while tbe czir himself, expecting thus to escape all danger, traveled disguised as a railway serv ant A telegram told me all was right and tbe czar was coming, and as the train pawed I fired the mine, hoping to eee tbe emperor blown to the winds. Tbe wreck of the train was blown away from the bouse, but to my chagrin I soon learned that the czir, thinkiDg himself safe from danger, had changed trains a few miles off, so as to enter Moscow in etate. I at once set off in a sleigh and rejoined my friends. We remained quietly within 20 miles of the scene for one week, and then traveled to Kherson, going thence to friends at Odessa. Here we all shipped for Turkey on board the Italian steamer Florentina, I being in fact employed as an engineer. From Constantinople we took passage to France by way of tbe Levant. On arriving i; Paria I went about with my friends. When walking in the Champa riysees, February 14, with three friends, the moucharHs who had been following us came up. Three of them seized me and I was arrested. My companions succeeded in knocking their captors down and escaping, and I was taken to Mazis. My friends went to M. Clemenceau, who advised them to employ Englehardt, municipal counsellor, which they did, and eventually I was conducted by a mouchard to CalaiB and put on board the ateamer for Dover, Although expelled from France, no official paper was issued. My friends waited in a wine shop In the Avenue Vlncennes for my release, and without making themselves known accompanied me to London " In response to several questions Hartmann said he espoused the Nihilist cans because no means but force could avail to sjcure some degree of freedom for tbe tolling Russian millicna against whom brute force waa used by a cruel, selfish czar and his myrmidons tbat they might revel in the fruits of their labor. He held his life light if he could further the proletarians' cause. For himself, be despaired of being of further use to his party in Europe, and he meant to emigrate to America in a few days. Mr. Tilden and the Income Tax Suit Albany Argus. The "Government" baa postponed Its suit against ex Governor Tilden on the matter of Income tax until November. The postponement is made because an important point In appeal has not been passed on by the supreme court The point is regarded as one, the settlement of which by final decision is essential to the judicial completeness of the- proceeding as a whole. Tbe suit never had any other basis than political persecution, and tbe desire of those who stole the presidency to add insult to the injury of tbe statesman whom the theft defrauded. Over 100,000 American citizsna took exactly the same coarse adopted by Mr, Tilden, to let the Government, and not himself, assess bis income. He alone waa singled out for litigation. Klranieasurable despicableness of nature and absolute ignorance of law were required to qualify a person to conduct such a litigation. They were found united in Stewart L. Woodford, easily tbe most con tempt worthy person now living ever born of woman. Governor Tilden, tbe ablest lawyer in the United States, very properly preferred to have every intermediate point adjudicated before final issue was joined. That there la aome authority in the law department of a fraudulent administration, capable cf the common justice of allowing him hia legu right of time to have the case formulated, is discovery which gives the first instance of

a not absolute baseness of nature and contempt for jnstioe which the prosecution of thia outrage haa yet afforded. It ia but fair to add that to far every decision of every Federal judge, on any phase of the subject, has betn responsive to tbe doctrine that the gentleman from whom tbe presidency was stolen has no rights in law or in equity which those who stole the presidency from him are bound to respect The promoters of the proceeding already announce in the press that the United btates Supreme Court will decide the appealed point, six months hence, and before it has been argued at all. adversely to Mr. Tilden, on the ground that baa prevailed all along, that he, being the defendant, must be the loser wholly regardless of the merits of the case. It just Happens tbat before this programme can be carried out the rules of procedure give a defendant the right to have the case shared and determined ere it can go to trial. That requires time. Hence tbe postponement till fall, of the opportunity for tbe supreme court to prove or disprove that it is the final and fixed party to this conspiracy, as it was to that of 1870-77.

A MODERN SAMPSON. Ills Name Is Angelo Cardela, and He Strikes Five Hundred Pounds. The strongest man in the world at the present time, so fares we are able to learn, now lives in Kino, Yasboe county. Nevada. A reporter recently witnessed the astonish ing feats of this remarkable man, and was fully satisfied by what he saw that be is really all that is claimtd for him. His name is Angelo Cardela, an Italian, aged 38 years; stature, five feet 10 inches; weight, 190 pounds: occupation, laborer; habits, temper ate, though he has no scruples e gainst the moderate use of malt liquors and the light wines of his country. In personal appearance he is not remarkable, merely a good-natured looking son of Italia, with a broad, heavy face, a coble development of criest and shoulders, nd large, fleshy hands. His strength was born with him, having had no athletic training. Wben "stripped to the buff." however, a marked peculiarity in bis spinal column is at once apparent Ilia backbone is, we might say, doublejoimed, with the vertebral articulations unusually large and prominent Though be is not a mem of unusual size, his spinal column is double tbe ordinary width, and bis other bones and joints seem made on a similar large and generous scale. After some solicitation he finally consented to favor the reporter with an exhibition of strength, which proved to be such an astonishing exhibition of lifting power aa scarcely to be believed. The reporter, whose Veight is 150 pound?, stood with one foot on tbe Moor, and arms outstretching, his hands being ligbt'y grasped by two friends, one on each side, to preserve the balance of his body. This slight assistance, however, had no tendency to 'raise bis body, being merely to keep him from toppling over Cardela then stooped down, and placed tbe third finger of his right hand under tbe hollow of tbe reporter's foot, upon which be wis balancing, and, with no perceptible fljr t. raised the reporter to a height of four feet, and deposited him, standing, on a table near at band. Tnis feat be repeated, and then grasped the reporter's ankles with both band, raised him above his bead, and gently lowered him to the table in a sit tine posture. Cardela bad a pipe ia bis mouth while lilting, and continued smoking, as much as to say. "Per Baccho, 'tis nothing; a way we have in our country!" Oa a former occasion he raited Mr. Lawson, a gentleman conneced with tbe editorial staff of tbe Ueno Gszette, in a similar way, with one ficger, carried him across a room and left him standing on a table. He has Also lifted by tbe same plan, using only bis third finger, (which seems to be his most reliable one), several Reno heavy weights, one weighing over 200 pounds. He can strike a blow with his fist with a power of 500 pounds, meesared oa a register. It is said that two Irishmen, near Verdi, started Im to whip bim one night, but concluded to give up tbe contract, as he grasped nein each hand and beat them together until tbe life was nearly hammered out of them Many other tales are told of his extraordinary strength, and there can be no doubt that, in his particular specialty, he is unrivaled, and, indeed, a lusus natura?, wben the peculiarities of his physical "make-up" and bis almost limitless power are considered. He states that his father could strike a blow equal in power to 1,000 pounds, so that his strength seems a direct inheritance. Cardela has not much education and an imperfect knowledge ol English. He dislikes to show his strength, and tails to realize his own value. If he were to give public exhibitions of his wonderful powers, he would doubtless be recognized and acknowledged to be the most powerful man in the world in certain lines of strength. Third Term. Ex-President Woolsey has written a letter to a gentleman in Springfield, Mass., in which he earnestly opposes the election of any man to tbe presidency for a third term. He says: "One effect of breaking once the habit in question would be tbe opportunity held out to a clique within a party of continuing their special influence in the Government by the election of one who is indebted to them for his success. In a government like ours such a clique becomes all powerful and selfish, bo tbat the Bonner it is disbanded the better. Another fleet is that the president after two terms would ba tempted to accept the offers of his friends to endeavor to continue him in authority, and it is such considerations that have made limitation to a single term seem at present to be desirable in the view of many. And aside from these reaons, if a party is to remain in power for 13 or 24 years or longer, it would be found in all probability more conducive to national welfare and unity to have the smaller changes of policy likely to occur under a new administration made possible, than to have tbe old fixed regime of a single man and bis special friends continue. 8uppose a citizen who waa not 'natural born' should be by far the most available candidate of a party, would it be wise on general grounds to attempt to alter tbe constitution in order to make him eligible? Even so to alter tbe national habit as to a third term for a particular instance, unless in an extreme case, would be an Injury to the stability of Institutions supported mainly by opinion." Appearances Are Often Deceptive. 1,011 City Derrick. Wben young Swanson entered the parlor of hia lady-love last nicht, bis watchful and somewhat jealous eyes detect 'da man's hat under one end of the sofa on which be and she were wont to pass tbe evening. His mind at once conceived the idea of a more favored suitor on whom his oharmer lavished her smiles, and who had suddenly fled when Swansea's footstep were heard', leaving his hat behind. "Ah, ha!" thought Siranson, "aome villain haa ectsred my abode of happiness, some soul destroying monster. I will seek his heart's blood, nay, I will tell her to her face she is a perfidious woman, and that I will tear my rival's bleeding heart from his writhing body and cast it at her feet." Turning on his sweet charmer, he was about to addrets her as does the hero of a dime novel, when tbe old man's voice yelling down the stairway broke tbe silence with: "Say, Sal, if yoa and yer yellow-headed lover go to sitting on that sofa, don't yer be getting yer hoofs on my new hat." A nice distinction. Housekeper to milkman: "My friend, yon put water in your milk." "Oh, no, I don't ma'm." "Bat I am nM rnn tin " "Oh. no. ma'm " "Vnw will yoa say solemnly that you do not put water in your mukr "wen, ma'm, well, imust say tbat sometimes I put some water in tbe can, and put the milk in that, but I never put the water in the railk."

HE MESMERIZES THEM.

The 'Wondrous Secret of a Phrenologist's Tower Over Women IJeOeraon City Tribune. It has only been about a fortnight ago that Professor Houser, the phrenologist, delivered a course of lectures in this city, and also gave medical advice to those who sought It. it might be wsll enough to state that a great many soaght his advice, principally females, over whom he seemed to bave great influence. The professor is one of those men who seem to exercise a kind of animal magnetism over the fair sex, and they "take to bim" naturally. Tbat he knew bis power and was proud of it there can be no doubt, for he boasted of it in this city. Tbe Joplin Daily Herald of the 11th inst gives an account of one case of fascination for the professor that prov.d fatal: A married lady, who was surrounded bv every luxury, and had a kind and affectionate husband, heard tbe professor lecture in a town in North Missouri, and became his siave. Sne deserted beroaie, and followed him to Indianapolis; to Lancaster, O.; Circleville, and thin to New York City. During all this time, tbe professor, though well aware ol the woman's infatuation, never spoke to her. She wrote him a number of love letters, but be never answered but one, and in tbat he advised her to return home, and reminded her that he was a man. Oce she sent him a diamond ring, but he re turned it While the profeseor was in tbe midst of his lecture at Joplin, the woman found her way behind tbe wines of tbe stage and banded a card to the reporter of the Herald, with toe request tbat he would give it to the professor at once. The card bore tbe single inscription in a delicate hand: "Will you speak to me to-night? My last request," and was signed "Fanny." The reporter stepped to tbe edge of the stage, and beckoning the professor to him, banded him the card; one glance at tbe handwriting and the . f.,. r.n.4 A.AIt, nolo U7..K a mirlr ator ho rparhprt tho rpnorter'a Hirt I - - - and in an agi'ated voice said: "Please take ber away." The woman threw back ber veil, disclosing a pale but beautiful face, but the pro essor stepped quickly bick on the stage and resumed his ltcture. The reporter then tendered the woman his services aa an et cor t, which 6he accepted, and he escorted her to a house which she said was occupied by her cousin. On the way there she told the reporter where she met the professor, and admitted that she fell madly in love with him; tbat ehe forgot home, husband, friends', and that she wss a wife. The professor refused to encourage her infatuation, and this only tended to make her love bim the more. She stated that her husband became awae of her strance passion, and had brought euit for a divorce for which she did not blame him. The reporter bid tbe strange woman good night at her relative's door, and then returned to the doctor, to have her every statement corroborated. At 12 o'clock that night the unfortunate woman died from opiate poison administered by her own bands. Her condition was not discovered by her relatives until too late to save her. The remains will be snt to her husband's home. This is a truly sad ending to a strange infatuation. SCHOOL WHIPPING. A Little Girl Terribly Whipped by Her School Teacher The Way Educational Matters Progress in Louiville. ICourier-Journal.l The charges brought against Miss Alice McCall, a teacher in tbe Portland school, for inhumanly whipping a little girl, of course attracted considerable comment yesterday. A reporter called on Mr. C. F. 8pencer, tbe principal of the school, last night, and learned wbat be knew of the affair. All that he knew as from the etatement of Mus McCall, which was n substance as follows: The little Adair girl was sent to her seat and told to get her lesson, last Thursday, on account of something. She went to her desk, but, instead of studying, began to drum upon tbe desk with ber hands or play something on her elate. Miss McCall called ber to her desk and struck her two or three blows with her ruler and again sent her to her seat Oa her way back ehe succeeded in throwing a elate upon tbe Moor and then a book. Miss McCall requested again tbat she should get her lesson, but she refused audibly, and then the teacher called hereup and gave her a second whipping. She tent ber to her seat after this, but afterward sent her out of tbe room for crying. As the chil left the room ehe said tnat she was going home, upon hearing which Miss McCall went out into the hall and brought her back into the room. Mrs. Adair brought the child !o Mr. Sp ncr to look at, aDd urea investigation be found that the child's shoulders had been badly bruised, as if braten by soxe heavy ruler.

If General Grant means ultimately to become emperor of the United States, why should he not rnn for emperor at once and be done with it? One of the Georgia papers thinks tbat tbe idea of nominating Blue Jean Williams, governor of Indiana, by tbe National Democratic convention for president is not a bad one.. In his capacty as governor be has shown bimielf a most conscientious and competent official. He is aa honest and trustworthy as tbe day is long. Such qualities in the White House would be a great curiosity, to say the least; for during 20 years they have been conspicuously absent A Theory tbat Won't Answer.

THE INDIANA WEEKLY STÄTE SEITIl ENLARGED AND IMPROVED. 1.00 PER ANNUM, THE PAI'ER FOR TUE PEOPLE PliON RECTUS FOR The coming presidential year promises to be the mort eventful and thrilling in a polltica. sense that we have ever witnessed, and wli determine questions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation It la not Improbable indeed, it is almost cer tain that, npon the determination of thene questions, will depend the perpetuity of oar present system of free government. These qnestions will be thoroughly dlscaseed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a first-clasa, experienced special correspondent at Washington, and. In addition to giving a true aocoant of ail the general proceedings In that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent statesmen, and without depriving oar patrons or tbe usual amount of reading mat" er. The Sentinel will hereafter contain a supplement, making in all blxty Colmnna of composition. In a word. It ia tne purpose of tbe Sentinel as a steadfast watchman of public Intelligence to do its whole duty in affording Information to its subscribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in 7ü ho in "SO Indiana will be called npoa to take a first position In tbe front of the great contest, and npon the success or failure of tbe great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend tbe fate of issues tbe most portentona ever submitted to the arbitrament of a free people. We s hail also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely New Phase in the politics of our Stato we mean tbe forced emigration for temporary partisan puropsea ot pauper negroes from tbe Houth into Indiana. The managers and lead era 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 its advancement. They have failed, utterly f&iled, to con vlnoe our people of the correctness of their politic! principles by reasou or argument; tneir appeals to hatred and prejudice nave alien narmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly totlle. Tbey propose now by an African invasion of worst than a vandal qorue of beggars and mendicants to override tne voice of the people of the State, and to arown tbe Democratlo majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, tbe hssaaltlng party, tne picket assailing corps ot Itpurillcanbim in Indiana, Is thus mane up not from the Hunters, Harrisons, U'llmaiiKorstiM-kJefordr. of tbe State; not from tbe lm-llif-iice oiability of tbat party, but is compoMHt of amotley, partl-colored gang of wi-i b-d field, negroes from the South. The froth nid cum of this worthless Importation are made nse of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and doineHtlc subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated faction. Tne sleepless Sentinel, upon tbe heights ot popular r ignis and popular liberty, predicts that thia movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method ot manufacturing party majorities In a Htate, we en all at all times give tbe latest andmost reliable intelligence. The American - Democracy, the Federal Union, tbe rights of the people and the States, one and inseparable now and forever. The merits of tbe Sentinel as a general newspaper are bo well known among the farmers of this State, especla'Jy those of the Democratlo persuasion, tbat commendation of IV is deemed superfluous. We will add, however,, that tbe management haa arranged and fully -determined that no paper shall turn lan sogreat practical value to Its patrons for the money. In Its news. Its editorials, its literary and miscellany In a word, In its general readingIt shall net be surpassed by any paper circulated in the State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man in the State can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which It Is furnished.
