A

THAT story that has been floating about for two or three weeks that Robert Lincoln had decided to take the stump for Tilden and Hendricks is denied by the Chicago Tribune. "The statement has no foundation, In fact," it says "no son of Abraham Lincoln could by any inducements be prevailed upon to support fbr President a man who pronounced the Administration of his father a failure." °Sf

IN many cases the men who are loaaest in declaiming that "the office should seek the man," are men who are leaving the old parties because they have become oonvinoed that it never would seek them where they were. They have waited and waited for it to seek them, and now go ovor to the greenbackers in the hopo that the office may be searching for them among the rag babies. There'll be trouble if these men are disappointed.

THE St. Louis Oas Company having been sued by the city authorities for violation of Contract, has offered to compromise all dlfferenoes by tarnishing gas to consumers at $2.50 per 1,009 feet. The mayor declines to compromise however, and the suits Will go on, the gas works having, in the meantime, been taken possession of by tho city government.

IT is privately given out that Tilden will defer writing his letter of acceptance until after the adjournment of Congress, While Congress is in session he does not consider it safe to promise anything to the Western Democracy, for the majori ty in the House is hard to manage, and liable to break his .promises for him fust at a time when the slightest breach of faith would prove fatal. After ad' journment he can safely promise any legislation the West wants. This may be so and it may not. Old Sammy is de velish tly.

AT tbe expiration of the morning hour, Monday, Mr. Kelley introduced, in the House, a motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill for the coinage of the silver dollar as a legal tender for all debts. The motion received 117 yeas to 68 nays, lacking only 19 votes of the required two-thirds the complexion of the vote showing no division on party lines or sections of country, and recording many "hard maney" men as in favor of the measure. It is clear that it is growing in ifevor. It will not be decided fat this session, but tbe discussion will do 'good and we trust that the next congress Will be ready to take it up under standingly and promptly settle it in the right way.

THE mob which undertook, about three weeks ago, to take two prisoners charged with murder from the jail at, Paoli, Orange county, to lynch them, and were driven off, on last Sunday morning directed their attention to a witness in Mitchell, who was suspected of having been hired to give evidence going to acquit tbe accused. His bouse was attacked by masked men and demolished, and the man left for dead, with a bullet through his lungs, among its ruins. These masked arbitrators of justice are themselves murderers, whatever pretence of decency or honor they may make to the public, and if the man dies they ought to be arrested and tried for the crime. Such outrages area disgrace to the State and it Is high tlm strenuous measure were being taken to put a: end to them. 7

TO THE CENTENNIAL. As the result of a careful inquiry we are prepared to say that the quickest, cheapest and best route to the Centennial is by the Pennsylvania Central railroad.- Persons leaving here at 3 o'clock in the afternoon reach Philadelphia before dark tho next evening. Sleeping car accommodations to Pittsburg cost two dollars. The fare from this place to Philadelphia is 913.60, and the same returning. This, when carriage hire, hotel expenses, etc., are taken into consideration, lf» a choapct trip than by Mr. Tennant's |20 excursion. Besides by this rout# ohe travels over one bf tha finest and safest roadv ift the world. Its main line Is laid with double and third tracks of heavy steel rails upon a deep bed of broken stone ballast, its bridges ire all of Lon and stone, add accidents are almost unknown. The magnificent scenery for which tbe Pennsylvania JRailroad is so justly celebrated presents to the traveler over its perfect roadway an ever changing panorama of ritwr, mountain and views hardly equalled In America. The company has a depot right st tbe main entrance to the Exhibition Grounds forthe accommodation of passengers who wish slfpor start ftou then.

ON Wednesday morning several hun dred unemployed laborers assembled In Cincinnati, listened to speeches on the condition of the workingman, and then marched in a disorderly procession to tbe City Hall to demand of tbe Mayor "bread or blood." As the Mayor had placed a strong guard of police around the building, the demand was not made. The crowd lingered on the ground for some hours, discussed the situation and finally dispersed. Perhaps all that was needed to project a first class riot was a leader of sufficient nerve and reckless ness.

IT certainly looks reasonable that if we are to engage in a war with the Indians it would be the most sensible thing in the first place to quit furnish log them supplies. As one step In this direction it is reported that General Sherman has declared himself in favor of depriving the Indians at tbe agencies of their ponies, so that if they want to join the hostile savages, they shall have to go on foot. This is a good notion, but it might be enlarged with advantage. We shall make an application of common sense (o the Indian question when we talae away from every Indian bis ponies and his fire-arms, and then give him his choice to go to work or to starve. If he is willing to labor, £elp bim. If he is too indolent to toil, cut off tbe supplies of every kind and indke it a felony for a white man to sell bim a gun.

DA MA OING WE& TERN CREDIT, [Grand Rapids Post.] The west has been greatly damaged in credit by the action of the soft moneyites. It is without sufficient capital of its own to speedily and properly develop It. We are therefore dependent on the richer eastern states. We are heavy borrowers and in tbe nature of the case must be fbr many years to come. The rate of interest at which we borrow very largely depends upon our reputation in the money centers of the east. Anything that tends to lower our reputation.for financial soundness and business honesty makes capital indisposed to seek investment among us and compels us to pay an increased rate of interest. Thousands of eastern capitalists are investing their money at home at four, five or six per cent, in preference to investing it in the- west at eight, nine or ten per cent. Ask them tbe reason why they do this and they will reply, "We cannot trust yOu western fellows. You talk like a set of swindlers. You oome to us asking in one breath to borrow money and in the next you sneer at and denounce us as bondholders,' 'bloated aristocrats,' 'money sharks,' etc. You ask our money on bond and mortgage while laboring to establish a monetary system that would enable you when the mortgage became due to pay off your indebtedness iu a currency so depreciated that five dollars would hardly equal the present value of one dollar. You prate of personal honesty while advocating rank sooundrelism on tbe part of the government in the treatment of its creditors. We don't feel like trusting you under these circumstances. We prefer keeping our money at home at a low rate of interest to loaning it to you at a high rate."

From personal oontact with esstern people we know that this is substantially tne way they feel. The west Is to-dsy paying from two to three per cent, more for money than it would have to pay had we tbe confidence of capitalists of the east. The antics of the soft-money-irredeemable-paper-currency halfwavrepudiation fanatics has already cost tne west millions of money in the way of increased rates of interest and unless effectually squelched they will cost us many millions more.

BOW 10 KEEP YOUR HUSBAND'S LOVE. Make npyo'ur mind, fro in'the beginning, that, whatever happens, yon will never loee your Individuality, toor give in one iota to bis opinion air your differences upon every possible ocossionjit will teach him to respect you, and furnish unlimited food for the gossips.

After the honeymoon is past, and before, if you think it necessary, grow slack in regard to your personal appear ance, and, If he ha# any remarks to make, tell him "that you didn't know when you married him that he was able to dress you like a queen, and you hadn't discovered it yet, for the matter of that but, if he wishes you to set up for queen, you are ready, and willing, to do ft. As it is, as you are obliged to do tbe work of servants, you claim the privilege of looking like tiiem if he has any objection, you shouldn't object to bis hiring a girl."

If his love does not seem to be grow ing greater under this management, become careless about your house, and inform him,

if

be remonstrates about it,

that "your house

is

not a* palace that you

are aware If you had a home, sucn as you always imsgined you should be mistress or, you should, probably, take some

delight

in keeping it looking

nicely as it is, you cant see the use in it." When at home, be in tbe "blues" continually look on tbe dark side of everything never give your husband a word of encouragement from one year's end to another, but prophecy his eternal ruin, financially, upon every available opportunity. In view of which, get every cent you can from him, to make a sliow away from home.

Endeavor to gfet up a flirtation with every man you meet in society. Tbe remarks be will bear concerning your conduct will certainly fill him with un dying love.

At the same time be frantically jealous of him, and give him to understand that you don't trust him when out of vour sight. So exalted an opinion of his honor can not but make him, eventually, worthy of your utmost confidence.

When he goes out of an evening, for business, or pleasure, and fails to arrive at home at the instant upon which you have mentally fixed for his return, shut up the house and compel him to arouse the entire neighborhood before you open it. Such wifely conduct will undoubtedly put him into a remarkably loving mode.

Snub him and tyrannize over him in the presence of the bachelor friends, before whom he is solicitous of appearing as the most enviable man in existence, and to whom he is particularly anxious to rehearse the dellgntsof benedict-dom. Tbe mortification he will feel, at the frustration of his laudable desire will, most assuredly, produce a reaction In your favor.

Should all other .means seem likely to fail, become most hopelessly attached to your dear parents, and, if they reside In a different city from that in which you live, spend all the time you possibly can with them, making life dismal while you are at home with moans because you can't see your dear parents every day. Should your husband manifest any dissatisfaction with this, open a private deluge at once, abd tell him that you never knew before that you had married a brute. Such affecting devotion to your parents must surely inspire him with unquenchable love and admiration. But if, with the rest of tbe programme, it doesn't appear to do so, after a dozen years or more, don't give up in despair, but keep trying, and in tbe end you will certainly accomplish—something. GALE FOREST.

INDIAN TORTURES.

Among the favorite methods of Indian torture may be mentioned the tying of the unfortunate prisoner to stakes in the ground, then having a small pyrotecnlcal celebration of filling his ears ftill of gunpowder and shooting it off. Another favorite amusement is to build a small fire of resinous pine kindling on the victim's stomach and let it burn, slowly. They usually make the fire small to prolong the effect or, as tbey sometimes even drive small pine splinters into the flesh of the prisoner and ignite. Some oftbe tribes south have a very ingenious way of torturing. They take the victim and gag him, with bis mouth open, then tie nlm down by tho side of a large ant hill, and you can imagine the result. In scalping they do not always confine themselves to the scalp. Should the capturing party be numerous and there be not scalp enough to go around, they sometimes continue their operations to the beard, mustache and eyebrows. The above are the tortures as practiced chiefly on the male prisoners. What tbe female prisoners are subjected to, tbe columns of a newspaper will not allow me to describe, but Juaging from the other tortures, you can readily imagine tnat no feeling of mercy or compassion, for tbe Indian is totally devoid of these qualities, will or can prevent him from practicing tho most horrible tortures on the femsles, to whom desth would be a thousand times preferable.

It is quite a common thing for tbe frontiersman, during tbe Indisn raids, and when himself and family are attacked, and there is no hope of escape, to put an end to his own life and tbat of Lis family, in preference to capture and torture.

There is little use in talking to a frontier settler who knows tbe Indian nature or who has lost, perhaps, a wife and children in the border warfare, about peace with the Sioux, or of civilizing by the Quaker peaco policy, unpreceded by a thorough subjngatfon by military force. For an answer you will bo apt to

Sle

et a look of anger or incredulity, with remark: "Stranger, ain you a tenderfoot out beret Have you ever lit with the Injuns?"

AN UNDERGROUND ISAJLAUE. A remarkable story* comes from Hun gary. It seems that two peasants, while digging in the woods skirting tbe village of Ivan-Egeneg, near Pesth, suddenly came upon what appeared to be a square structure of brick walls, with a stone covering tbe aperature. Removing this atone, they found that these wdis enclosed an opening in the earth, and resolved to explore tbe shaft. Accordingly they prepared a rope ladder of the requisite length, secured several lanterna, and then one of them let himself down. At the bottom he stood in wonderment ss he gssed upon a large

anam

to his forehead, and alto-

ball, the walls covered withfodndnUngiit obAlfs, benchM tna teblM* standing around, oiUmented with gold and with rooms. ... derand told hie companion of the discovery. Both of thsm went down together. and found themselvee In a sucessslon of roome abounding with elaborately carved ftarnlture of a style tfeajr had never seen before. IasoHMafttMnr were tow, large stands, evidently once need for beds there wen also oloaeta, borssue eoptslaing aranlst^ rims, madals, 0elm, dagger

UF

ahields, and helmets. There were also breast plates of leather, oovered with iron, and studded with ornaments in gold.^ Some of tbe armletp they took away, broke them-up and Serried-them to Pesth for sale, in which transaction they were arrested, and the officers of the Hungarian ministry of the interior began official investigations. .Their researches clearlp establishes It ss a fact that this subterranean structure was undoubtedly an old Roman castle, built, many oenturies before the Huns andMagyars left tbeir Asiatic homes to in-' vatle this part of Europe. But how thiw vast structure, which is said to cover' two acres, and built two steries high, with massive walls of stone and brick, was covered with earth to tbe depth or more than sixty feet, over which a forest of heavy timber had grown up—a forest, too, that is mentioned as existing in the oldest preserved chronicles of the kingdom—the officers bave so far found —it impossible to aocount for. The shaft throug:u which the first discovery was made is supposed to be a chimney or observatory.

AFRESH CHAPTER OF TILTON SCANDAL. To the Editor of the Washington Chronicle:

Since my last letter a."special correspondent" from New York to the Chicago Tribune bas appeared, and relates the latest chapter in Tiltonism, and is published as follows:

By the way, the four children are all with their father in tbe old bome-nest at last, the two young boys having now returned. He has avoided asking them to come, and has forbidden their being influenced by any friends of his. 'I think children are more tbeir mother's than tbeir father's,' he says, 'and I did not want them to come to me till they came voluntarily, or with Elizabeth's consent.' The fact is, it is currently believed here that Mrs. Tilton herself vyould gladly return 'home' if she could."

This is a fabrication, emitting its Tilton tactics in every line. Tho facts of tbe case, that can be abundantly substantiated, are as follows: During the Fourth of July week, prior to the National day^the two daughters, who live with Mr. Tilton, visited their mother, and expressed a desire that both of the little boys should visit them. Mrs. Tilton gavo her consent. The eldest boy, Carroll, had, however, visited them, but the youngest, Ralph, whom Mr. Tilton publicly disowned, bad never accompanied his brother on these visits. Recently Mr. Tilton has been endeavoring to manufacture a great deal of sympathy for himself in the Western States, and making the following remark very publicly: "I think it vory strange Elizabeth would allow one of my sons to visit me and not the other." By this remark be virtually owns tbe boy he had denied. Hearing of this Mrs. Tilton permitted Ralph to go with his brother, and they were allowed an hour and a half for the visit. Tbe result was, both boys were forcibly detained, and not allowed to return. Carroll, however, tho elder, made his escape, and returned to his mother with tbe news of Ralph's detention. Carroll has been since, and still is, with his mother but the youngest, who was shamefully and publicly disowned by his father, is still detained.

What point Mr. Tilton intends to make for himself out of this proceeding, is difficult to determine, but the general belief among those who know him best is tbat by keeping Ralph be hopes Mrs. Tilton will return to him. In that case he could convince the world, he fancies, of his magnanimity and forbearance, and so forth. If Theodore Tilton had any giounds for defaming the motherhood and parentage of this child, why has he so artfully kidnaped him? Let the pious wise-acres that were so ready to pass judgment upon this case "take that in" and dissect and digest it. The ingenious newspaper notices tbat go abroad so favorable to Mr. Tilton are as infamous in design and execution as was tbe letter he asked Mrs. Tilton to sign when she was too ill to read its contents, but trusted to tho husband's argument that it was "only what would do him justice," Ac. He could betray the trust of his wife, induce her to sign her own condemnation, disown bis child and then try to impress the world that he was a mytyr.

Mrs. Tilton denies that she has a wish to return to his "home nest.". Had her testimony been taken in that trial, or her explanation of tbat letter been received, the' "homestead" of Theodore Tilton would have appeared before the

[ight.

mblic in a different and more truthful In all of the newspaper items so cautiously set afloat about tbe interesting Theodore, nothing hss been said about along standing affinity between him and the daughter of a millionaire, made independent by the sale of Winslow's soothing syrup. This daughter took herself a husband onoe, and with bim considerable money, but finding tho latter more agreeable to her purposes than the husband, she soothed the matter by falling so much enamored of Mr. Tilton as to shsmefully confess to Mrs. Tilton. Tbe money of this party is admitted, by thoso who know best, to have been the financial back-bone of tbe "Golden Age."

After tbe separation of Mr. Tilton and bis wife, Mrs. T. took oocasiou to inform her daughters of the dangers and impure society of this woman, but Mr. Tilton sees fit to allow the association, to the surprise of those who were bis friends. If Mr. Tilton really thought his wife could not be trusted with tbe boy Ralph, whom he disowned, what must iSe have thought of his parental capabilities when be throws around his young, motherless daughters this baneful influence This identical party was shielded from publicity during tho Beeeher trial by the almighty dollar, and an interesting chapter of 1'iltonism was lost to tb©records of that case. As Theodore is much civon to the use of the "soothing sirup'' it accounts for some of his cccentrldtles. When ho has been "overcome" by the artificial ftlmulant—in tho words of a very plainspoken Brooklyn lady, "he has tho faculty of making an ass of himself very generally."

Tho papers still harp on Mrs. Til ton's "taking in sewing, and living in a little, hot, close room," Ac., all of which is fldse. Mrs. Tilton very honorably supports herself by teaching, and resides with her mother In a house that is a pattern of comfort and refinement, with associations and surroundings vastly superior to the "home-neet" oftbe "lib-eral-minded" Theodore. These are focta sound as letters-patent, and open to Investigation. Pass them around in place of toe lklsehoods. "ONLY A WOXAN."
