WE HAVE the assurance of the Phila delphia "Press" that "whatever doubts there once were of the Republicans carrying New Jersey have been dissipated. The majority for WAXSH will reach thou« sands, while the Legislature will be Republican in both branches. Democracy is at a discount everywhere."

SAYS the St. Louis "Democrat:" "In order to silence the Democratic cry against 'carpet-baggers,' the Republicans of Mobile nominated this year a worthy, upright and competent man, and a native of the county, for the office of Sheriff. Only last week he was nearly mobbed to death and prevented from addressing a public meeting by a lawless gang of men under the Democratic candidate for Sheriff—a New England Copperhead! So much for Democratic consistency."

THE history of the attempts to make the Temperance question a distinct and independent one in politics has, everywhere, been the record of failure. It has proved so in mo-?t of the Eastern States, and now experience in Pennsylvania comes as additional testimony. The highest vote on the Temperance ticket in that Slate at the lale election was 3248, showing that the people do not believe that the evils of intemperance can be cured by thrusting the question into politics as an independent issue.

NEWSPAPERS, in great cities, are the strongest of financial enterprises when well managed and liberatly conducted. Mr. .JAMES GRANT, in his new book on the "Newi?faper Press of London," expresses the belief that the profits of the London "Times" are i." 1(50,000 per annum.

CORRESPONDENT of the Indianapolis 'Journal," writing from Grant county, suggests the name of Hon. RICHARD W. THOMPSON, of Terre Haute, as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. Upon this the editor of that paper#snys: "The mere mention of Col. THOMPSON'S name suggests his entire fitness for any honor his party may choose to confer upon him, or for any trust he might consent to accept. We have before alluded to the fact thai the Republican party of Indiana is by no means scarce of the very best limber for its next State ticket, and in the list of names mentioned for the Governorship, that of Mr. THOMPSON necessarily takes a prominent rank.'

WE are astonished that journals which fear that virtue may be contaminated, because two or three "improper women" have been seen in public audiences, can satisfy their consciences while giving space in their columns to laudations of the "nude drama."—^^aiL

We share in our neighbor's astonishment. The EXPRESS has oppa=ed the "nude drama" from itseailiest introduction upon the American stage. It will be remembered that OLIVE LOGAN prepared a serie~ of papers for "Packard's Monthly" which drove the "nude drama" from all respectable theaters in the principal cities. Those articles were published in the EXPRESS with conspicuous editorial approval and commendation, and nothing inconsistent therewith has ever appeared in these columns.

From Daily Expreit, Oct. 31.]

Agonizing over Allxis.

It is amusing to read the programme arranged for the Russian Grand Duke's reception, and for his amusement after he is safely clasped to America's bosom. But it -is a little solemn (and a little old fogyish, too, we suspect) to reflect that

tion of the imperial Muscovite are quite touching. One report says the reception committee have giveta especial attention to providing for his personal comfort in the minutest particulars' For instance, it is arranged that all the coachmen and attesdents on the occasion of his landing on llie^e hospitable shores shall wear while tjlovc-i. \e powers who watch over the august destinies of princes, forbid that the exquisite sensibilities of the roval ALEXIS should be offended by the sight of any barehanded barbarian when he first sets foot in these domains! Let no such disgrace as this smutch our plain democratic escutcheon. Let the Russian prince behold the congenial sight of the common peoplesteeped in poverty that the rich may enjoy greater luxury, for so shall sweet reminiscences of his native land stir his imperial blood and conduce to his peace of mind and quiet slumber! Let no rude contract between our customs and modes of thought and action and those that prevail in ALEXANDER'S realms cause him a single pang! Rather let him suppose that here as well as there the bounties of providence are showered down with unstinted prodigality on the favored few, while for the many there remain want, hunger, cold, suffering and death. By all means let his attendants have white gloves. But there is one delicate attention which-the New York authorities have undertaken to show ALEXIS that is of doubtful practicability. His rooms are to be guarded by a detachment of police with a view to

THE Indianapolis "Commercial" say*, al 1 the talk about starting a new Demo cratic paper at the Capital, in opposition lo the "Sentinel," will amount to nothing. It thinks Mr. BRIGHT has the Democracy of the State well in hand, and while a majority of the leaders hate him, they also fear him. It says the Democrats who curse him to Republican auditors, ami dodge around the corner .vhen he comes in night, lest he should sil down on them, will not start a paper, and all the complimentary notices given the expected "Statesman" by papers throughout the State, are a waste of ink and spacc.

IT IS hardly worth while to discuss the legal right of proprietors or managers of places of amusement to exclude or expel notorious prostitutes. The "Mail" is probably aware that such exclusion or expulsion is and has long been the rule in re-

spectable theaters and opera houses in all X]

large cities. When an excluded or expelled prostitute shall bring an action for damages, the legality of lie proceeding inav be tested. But this is certain: Ladies will not consent to be mixed up promiscuously with that class of womtn and gentlemen will not take their lady friends where they are very likely to be brought in contact with the occupants of bawdy houses.

THE Chicago ''Journal" justly complains that, the owners of brick yards, in that city unlike their commodity, are anything but "perfect bricks." They are heartlessly taking advantage of the present dire necessities of the community, by putting their prices beyond the reach of any but millionaires. It is difficult to decide—says the "Journal" -which is the greater robber—he who stops you on the public highway, with a pistol at your head, and demands your purse, or lie who in a lime of general calamity, demands an exorbitant price for that which he happens to possess which the community is pressinglv in need of.

men who are sure to haunt his steps for

the purpose of "interviewing" him. If the son of ALEXANDER should be shut up in a glass case, fastened with twelve locks, and sunk in the depths of the sea, as the genie in the Arabian Nights shut up his wife, we doubt if he could be protected from the persistent onslaughts of the reporters. However painful it may be lo the young man's feelings, we very much fear thai he is destined to meet face to face that omnipresent being, the American newspaper reporter.

Must we Pay the Confederate Bonds! Gen. BUTLER thinks that the British government will present, among the claims laid before the Washington Commission, a demand for the payment of the Confederate Cotton Loan to English holders. He thinks that the terms of the treaty are broad enough to include even that preposterous claim, which no American ever entertained for a moment without mingled derision and indignation.

origin of the loan is well remember-

ed. Certain members of the English aristocracy, wishing the overthrow of this Republic, wore willing even to inrpqt their money in the enterprise. So they made a loan to the Confederacy, taking therefor the bonds in question, which were secured by a pledge of cotton. -The collapse of the rebellion of course transferred lo the United States the security for their loan, and their bonds became waste paper.

Gen. BUTLER, if we understand him, by no means argues that the preposterous claim must, according to the principles of international law, be allowed. He merely says that the language of the treaty permits its consideration, and lhat we have bound ourselves to submit if the Commissioners decide against us. But there are those even among Americans who hold that the Commissioners must decide in favor of the bond-holders. Very concisely stated their argument is this: "It is a principle of international law which is perfectly well established that the obligations of every kind incurred by a de facto government must be assumed by the government which succeeds it, no matter how illegitimate the authority of the first may have been. The successive governments of France have never failed to charge themselves with the liabilities of the governments that have preceded them. The case is not at all affected by the fact that the debt may be incurred by the leaders of a rebellion, or by a usurper. In any event it must be paid, if the rebellious or usurping power passed beyond the stage of mere military occupation, and ruled through the agency of the civil magistrate. The Confederacy was a de facto government. Wedeclared, it is true, on all occasions that it was a mere revolt with no shadow of legitimacy about it. But we actcd as if it were an independent nation, anil claimed all the rights of actual war. To say nothing of the blockade, we exchanged prisoners, confiscated property and enforced the obligations of neutrality on other nations. We claimed to succeed to the ownership of the abandoned property of the Confederacy and had our claim allowed. Foreign nations, too, conceded belligerent rights to the Confederacy. Therefore, there is a perfect case for the bondholders, if the English government choose to urge it."

But there are two circumstances, which, in our opinion, outweigh all that can be said on the bondholders'side. The English government is not obliged to present the claim, and will probably hesitate long before voluntarily bringing forward so iniquitous a charge. The terms of the treaty make impossible for the bondholders themselves to prosecute their

tractions to anatomical display. And no claim. Moreover, if the" matter should gentleman ought to patronize theatricals ever come before the Commissioners, the

POOR "LIGE" HALFORD! It was vety sad For many months, during the long, hot summer and drouth-scourged autumn, he had been looking forward to the banging of JEROME BROOKS,at Delphi, a3 not only the supreme event the season, but the great occasion which his genius should make the crowning glory of the journalistic year!

the sums of money lavished on this twent-one years old boy, who is furnished forth somewhat lavishly at the start, would feed and clothe through the winter some thousands of people who will suffer grievously from cold and hunger. A hundred years from now such devices for gratifying a toadyish spirit and affording hungry office holders an opportunity to make further inroads on the public purse, will be regarded as criminal. Now anv protest against proceedings of this nature is steadily gazed and the soul of "LiGE"has regarded as eccentric. Some of the ac- been sustained and cheered by the virtu' counts of the preparations for the recep- I ous hope and conBdent belief that he

would behold the hangiDg of JEROME BROOKS and write it up. as only h« can write up a hanging, for the Indianapolis "Journal."

The long looked-for day—Iriday, Oe tober 27th, A. D. 1871—at last arrived, and "LIGE," who had pss*ed the entire night in ransacking gallows literature as a part of the necessary "cramming" for the grand performance at hand, might have been seen, at an early hour, forty miles from Delphi, seated in a buggy, firmly facing a furiou3 northeast wind and fiercely flogging a stubborn mule. Twere vain to drag this tiresome tale through the terrible hours of that memorable fore noon, or to give the pitiful details of "LIGE'S "ride. Suffice it that, at 12:30 p. M., he drove his mule into Delphi, halted in front of the jail, sprang to the ground, caught a by-stander by the sleeve and breathlessly inquired, "When will the hanging come off?" "Come off?"— responded the by-stander—"Why it's been 'come off more'n an hour. BROOKS is hung, cut down and stowed away in his coffin.

Then "LIGE'S" knees smote together and he fell to the ground, while a long, loud and bitter wail startled ftfe terrified Delphians and made them think the soul of JEROME BROOKS had stayed to plague lliem.

THE name of Col. 11. W. THOMPSON has been prominently mentioned, in various parts of the State, in connection with the gubernatorial nomination of the Republican party. All concede hi entire and eminent timess for that distinguished position. It would gratify exceedingly to see him ready to accept the leadership of the Indiana Republican phalanx in the approaching campaign and such leadership would be a strong promise of victory. But from our knowledge of Col. THOMPSON'S purposes, generally, we fear that his name cannot be properly counted among the list of gubernatorial candidates. We do not pretend to speak "by authority," but entirely on our own responsibility, though with a firm conviction that we speak the truth. There are thousands of Republicans, in every Congressional District the State, who will join with us in sincerely regretting the necessity of looking for some other honored name to place at the head of our State ticket.

JAMES FERGUSON, in issuing his call for a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee, of Clay County, says "it is time to revive the old davs of Jefferson and Jackson."—Btazil Miner.

VIr. Ferguson is right, and the reliable Democracy ofCiay county will follow his lead on that noble suggestion.—Journa/.

How can you revive those old days, or the events thereof Do you want the constitution and institutions of the conn try restored to the condition in which JEFFERSON and JACKSON left them? These are better days than ever JEFFERSON dreamed of or JACKSON hoped for, But the greatest political evil of our times comes from the JACKSONIAN motto, "To the victor belong the spoils." When "OLD HICKORY" established the principle of "rotation in office" he planted and watered the prolific seed of corruption in the civil service. To undo the evil thus wrought is the great problem of statesmanship in 1871.

OUR English exchanges come filled, not only with generous words of sympathy for afflicted Chicago, but wilh acknowledgments of the best traits of the American character that, while they flatter, must also surprise our countrymen, coming from so prejudiced a source. Says the London "Telegraph—"Chicago may be blotted out in flames and ashes, but in pluck and energy the American people will never be bankrupts." Remarks the "Daily News," of London:—"All that the energy of men can do to mitigate the suffering, and repair the damage, will be done." After reviewing the fearful destructivenessof ihefire, the "Times"—the veritable "Thunderer" himself—observes: "We may be confident, however, lhat the natural resource of the place and the native energy of the Americans will more than repeat the marvels of the original development of the cily." So our boasts in the past were not idle utterances afier all.

THE Chicago "Republican" makes this severe remark, which we hope is not generally applicable:

When a man calls at an insurance office to purchase a policy he is regarded as a distinguished visitor, and treated accordingly. When he returns to the same establishment "after the fire," to collect what is due him, he is regarded as a poor reia'.ion, his questions are answered with insolence, and he is given pretty loudly to understand that he is a good deal of aD intruder, anyhow.

This city has, thus far, escaped great fires, but the losses of insurance companies here have, in almost all cases, been promptly and courteously adjusted and paid. We have known prompt payments where public opinion would have sustained the companies in legal contests.

THE only remaining important elections to be held this year will occur on the 7th of this month in the following named States: In Maryland, for Governor, State officers, and Legislature in Massachusetts, Governor and Legislature Minnesota, Governor, State officers, and Legislature Mississippi, a Legislature New Jersey, Governor and Legislature Illinois, election of Congressman at large New York, State officers and Legislature Wisconsin, Governor, State officers and Legislature Nebraska, election of State officers, and Virginia, the election of a Legislature.

Noble Words from Lord Lisgar. There was one passage in Lord LISOAR'S recent speech at St. John so truly noble and at the same time so significant, coming from a man who enjoys the intimate personal friendship of the leading men of Great Britain, thai it cannot be too often repeated or too enthusiastically applauded. It was this:

He alluded to the charge that the treaty of Washington was the result of fear on the part of England, and was "a capitulation." "If it be a capitulation, said the good old statesman, "then I have to say that it is a capitulation to which the proudest nobleman in England would have been glad to set his hand." Culpable timidity had been charged against Mr. Gladstone and his colleagues, because they had sought to keep Great Britain out of a war either in Europe or in America but they had acted for the nation as all men of senseand honor act in their affair,—that is, they sought to avoid a quarrel as long as possible. Not because they feared to fight in a good cause, but because war is such a terrible evil. "'In this," said Lord Lisgar, turning to Gov. Dennison, who sat at his right hand, "they had the example of your own grea? jldier, General Grant, who in the midst of his army and at the head of his great nation asked only for peace. They had the example of another great soldier, a countryman of cur own—the Duke of Wellington—who never led his army except to victory, but who detested war, when war could be avoided. He was once asked, "What was the saddest sight you ever saw, Duke?' 'Why, a great deieat, to be sure.' 'But that you never saw in your own experience—what was the saddest sight yon yourself ever lamented?' 'Why, a great victory, lo be sure,'said the Duke. If to abhor and avoid war be culpable timidity, then I prefer to share that timidity with Gen. Crrant and the Duke of Wellington." ..

We can well believe the reporter who says that this passage in "the good old statesman's" speech was very "impresive." It is not the really brave men of either country who talk flippantly of war as something to be entered upon lightly for the redress of every real or fancied grievance. It is only men of the GROROE I'RANCIS TRAIN school who are anxious to precipitate conflicts to the satisfactory settlement of which they can contribute nothing when they come. There have not been lacking those whosince the beginning of GRANT'S administration have moaned continually because redress by violence has not been sought of Spain for confiscating the property of American citizens of Mcxico for some outrages by her barbarian half-breeds and of England on ac £Oiint of the Alabama claims. These amateur warriors would have us fight not only the Indians and Mormons within our own borders and the Corcans in Asia, but would also have us occupy any interim of these minor strifes by engaging with the great European powers. It is one of the chief glories of GRANT'S administration that he has constantly resisted the mad suggestions of bad advisers, and has ad hered religiously to his famous confession of faith, "Let us have peace."

MUCH HITTER complaining comes from the nine counties of South Carolina where the writ of habeas corpus has been suspended by the President in accordance wilh the provisions of the anti-Ku-Klux law. "The white citizens are flying from the counties in question by thousands, and there must be much" suffering among the women and children in consequence," says an account, fiom the astonished region. "Men are anxious lo learn if the government will grant protection to the innocent" queries another correspondent Never were the South Carolinians more astounded. Says the Philadelphia 'Inquirer," in an editorial on thie subject: "The proclamation suspending the writ of habeas corpus came upon them like a thunderbolt out of a sunlit sky. They were permitted to do as they pleased in the bygone years, even to seizing the national forts, without let or hindrance from the authorities at Washington. The new order of things bewild ers them utterly, and they can think of nothing more chivalrous to do than fly from a region where they cannot break the laws and defy the civil courts at will. Warnings of the punishment now upon them they treated with contempt, and now that the blow which they so wantonly provoked has fallen upon their helpless families they should blame themselves, and not the government which they so long defied."

LATE one night, net long ago, a person finding the door of a country store standing open, in Putnam county, N. Y\, entered and proceeded to empty the moneydrawer. After accomplishing his purpose, the interloper looked around and discovered the keeper of tke store fast asleep on the counter Moved by a strange impulse, he went up to him, shook him awake, and handed him hack the nimey. Notwithstanding this ex r.io"' ary magnanimity, the merchant pi. .. rred a criminal charge, and Ihe trespasser was lodged in jail. The grand jury, however, failed lo indict him, and he was discharged. What a noble example to the Tammany Ring, the New York "St.-.ndard" says. The people of New York have been long asleep vjith the doors of their city excheq i-r open, and the members of the Ring h'.ve supplied themselves amply from the stores therein. Now that they have waked up the people lo a sen.'e of their loss, they might gain both credit and personal safety by such restitution as that of the thief in Putnam county.

THE "Journal" thus notices the scurrilous letter of "SHAMUS O'BRIEN" to the "Western Celt:"

The "Express" yesterday morning reproduced, entire a Terre Haute letter to the St. Louis "Celt," in which the public school management of this city is attacked in the most shameful and unjustifiable manner by an anonymous writer pretending to bean Irishman and a Catholic. It gives us pleasure to say that the letter in question is condemned by not less than nine-tenths of the Catholic community in this city. Our fellow citizens of the Catholic faith desire no warfare of the kind inaugurated by the "Celt's" correspondent, and they decline to be held responsible for the utterances of a writer who has no regard for truth, decency or honor!

We have not a single doubt that there are many Irish Catholic citizens who heartily despise the sort of "warfare" inaugurated by the "Celt's" correspondent. They have the good sense to perceive that such guns as he uses are dangerous only to those who stand behind them.'

THE "Express" is encouraging A bitter hostility towards Gen. Carl Schorz because he is opposed to Qrant and the present administration. The "Express" will not allow any independence of that character, especially in a German politician.

The above appeared originally in the Terre Hante "Journal," and has since been copied into other Democratic prints. Not one word has appeared in the EXPRESS calculated to "encourage a hitter hostility towards General CARLSCHURZ-" We have freely criticised his public speeches, and shall-continue to do so, but without "hostility." \S think he has made serious mistakes, and he is in a fair way to see the folly of his own course before many months. He cannot help^ suspecting that he is wrong when he hears his praise sung by Democratic papers that hated and reviled him but a few months ago.

HERE is something pretty good from TILTON'S "Golden Age:" Our friend Gilbert Haven's extraMethodist theology sometimes appears: in a very ludicrous light. For instance, he has just been saying that Chicago was burnt on account of the city's sins—alluding particularly to the "Sabbath as a day of sinful pleasure." and the "brothels." Now every candid mind admits that in Chicago, as in all other cities, the Sabbath is a day of particularly sinful pleasure in brothels. But it so happened that the Chicago fire consumed the most respectable dwellings, and strangely left unscourged the district devoted to brothels. If Mr. Haven's premise is true, namely, thai the city was punished by God for its sin, then its sin (in His eyes) was respectability and not harlotry for he seems to have saved thellahabs, who were harlots, and to have smitten the clergy and their flocks.

IN a sermon upon the Chicago fire, delivered in St. Louis, Rev". Robert Collver said: "You have no idea of the sadness and the horror, and let me say the glory and beantv of the scene, for, while the flamys were sweeping along, and leaping like mad beasts, as if with infernal instinct, there were something about it more beautiful and noble than anything I over saw in the world belore. For this splendid American character then came out in a beauty such as 1 have never witnessed. I did not see a man moaning or a woman crying of your stock. I am an Englishman. But these men that were born in New England clung to their children, and their faces were very while, but there was no moaning, nothing to distract the quiet, earnest attention from theihing they had to do then and ihere I did not see a single man or woman that was not trying to do something for somebody else more helpless than they were themselves. I think this American type is the noblest God ever made, and I don't know but that it ir the noblest that he ever'will make."

THERE is only one territory of any size, and never has been but one, occupied by any considerable population, from which woman is absolutely excluded. Yet such a place exists to-day and has existed for centuries. As far back as history reaches, to all females it has been forbidden ground. The bachelors Arcadia is situated on a bold plateau between the old peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian Archipelago, and the mainland Here in the midst of cultivated fields .and extensive woodlands, dwell a monastic confederation of Greek Christians, with twenty three convents, and numbering more than seven thousand souls, and not one of the monasteries dates from a later time than the twelfth century. A few soldiers guard the borders of this anti-female land, and no woman is allowed to cross the frontier. Nor is this all the rule is extended to every female creature, and from time immemorial no cow, mare, hen, duck or goose has been permitted to make acquaintance with hill or valley of Mount Athos territory. A traveler was startled by the abrupt question, "What sort of human creatures are women?" The very idea of woman, whether as mother, wile, or sister, is almost lo't. To all woman-haters to all men who seek refuge from the wiles and ways of the opposite sex, this region can be safely recommended as a haven of refuge.

THE Amherst students oppose the admission of women to that institution. Their reasons are very boyish. They hold that the women students would "entice young men from study," and that their matriculations "would lower the standard at the college course." Bless their dear, innocent souls, their mammas should keep them at home until they pass the age of morbid and dangerous susceptibility. And as for "lowering the standard of the college course," they need give themselves no uneasiness. It is the uniform testimony of all educators, in academies and seminaries as well as in schools of lower grade, that girls are able to compete with boys successfully and generally to excel them in their studies. If we are not mistaken the one woman graduate of Bates College was Ihe best scholar'of her year, and it is generally undrtrstood that Miss Lowe, the girl at Colby University, leads the class of '75 It can hardly be a very manly class of young men that place themselves in the cowardly position of not daring to give their sisters a fair chance. Their case is only a little better than that of the medical students in various institutions, whose idea of manhood is disclosed in their brutality toward the young ladies who have at length been admitted.to share their privileges.—Portland Picst.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

A Young Lady Durned lo Death.

The India: i.' lis "Evening Journal" gives ibis detm i.d account of the horrible accident which resulted in the death of Miss Wiles:

One of the most horrifying accidents we have ever been called upon lo chronicle occurred on Saturday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. Smith, formerly wilow of Samuel .T. Wiles. Mrs Ella Wiles, a daughter of MTR. Smith, went into the kitchen about 4 o'clock to make a fire in the stove. She was very nearighted,and it is supposed, in thrusting ihe shavings in the stove a part of them were left outside, and before she was aware tht fire communicated to her clothing and she was enveloped in flames. She screamed loudly for help, but she was always full of mischief, and her mother, who was in an adjoining room, was slow to answer lierpummons. When at length alarmed, she opened the door, and a ter rible sight met her eyes—the poor victim was enveloped in the flames of her burning garments. Hushing toward her she tried to save her, but she was so frantic with alarm and pain that she broke away and ran out of the house into the open air. Her agonizing screams drew t'»e attention of some men working on a house near by, who hastened lo her rescue. A neighbor lady, also attracted by the terrible screams, was the first to reach the spot, and drenched her with a bucket of water. It was all lhat could have been done under the circumstances, but it catted the most intense agony to the unfortunate girl. The clothing was almost completely burned off her person, her face badly disfigured, her beautiful hair was entirely swept away by the flames, and the flesh on her limbs and body was nearly burned to a crisp. Dr. Woolen was called upon to attend thesuflerer, but he could administer no relief, and she expired in horrible agony three hours and a half after the fatal accident. The deceased was a very amiable and accomplished young lady, and highly esteemed Ov a large circle of relatives and friends. Her shocking death has cast a deep gloom over that portion of the community. She was a daughter of the late Samuel G. Wiles, and niece of Colonel W. M. Wiles, United States Assessor of Internal Revenue for this District. Her funeral took place this morning from the residence of her mother, on New York street. The services were conducted by Rev. W. B. Chamberlain, pastor of the Fifth Presbyterian Church of this city. Her remains were interred by the side of her father inSugar Grove Cemetery, near Crown Hill. A large number of friends and neighbors weic in sittendance, and the services we unusually solemn and impressive.

"IN the midst of life we are in death" is not in the Bible, as is generally supposed. It is found in the Episcopal burial service, and is taken from a Latin anti phon, composed by a monk of St. Gill's, at Martistabel, in 911.

The Man Who Cooks.

Every old Californian, having in '''49" baked his own bread and boiled his beans, deems himself a good family cook. He maintains even a greater conceit than this: hi deems himself a cook superior to any woman in the world, when he chooses to concentrate his mind on culinary affairs.

On such a man, when duly married, there breaks out once or twice a year a culinary mania. He must cook: he will cook. He watches the opportunity when his wife has prolonged her afternoon visit a little longer than usual. He invades the kitchen. .He kindles a tire in the stove. Before kindling that fire he leaves open every door in the house, from cellar to garret. He turns the damper wrong. The stove smokes the wrong way. lie draws water in the wrong bucket to fill the tea-kettle. These things are terrible to mention, but they are often done in California. He throws potato and other vegetable parings in the cleanest pail he can find. Whenever he walks and whatever lie touches, lie leaves a "muss." He lo.-i'-os knives, forks, and spoon-- i'l .i .ne liou-e ai o.dish rags: he puts one of ilwse in his packet He ceases to he a rational or accountable beiiij An old male Calil'o.n a cook, married and in his wife's kitchtn, is not a well-i'iing of pleasure. He ings all the frying puns he can find into use.

He si-s their sooty bottoms on (he clean pine table. He contemplates making ea He reflects as to the quantity he used in the mines for a "making He can not recollect exactly. He trams several tistfuls into the teapot. He will have enough anyway. No one who drinks thereof sleeps that night. Ner vous. He essays to make biscuit. He wonders how much salaeralus they used in ihe mines to get a good rise on. He uses enough. He kneads his dough, and wandering vacantly about the house, leaves traces of flour at every step. It is in the parlor, on the door knobs, on the bannisters. He says he can cook better than any woman in the world if he "was only a mind to give his mind to it." This conceit is never to be taken out of him It is peculiar to all old Californians for he made bread in tho mines. It was good bread, too—good to kill. They say that two "pardner.s" who "cabined" with him died of heavy-bread indigestion. lie wa given twenty-four hours to leave that camp.

Now we see liira ravishing his wife's kitchen. He has burned up all the choice newspapers lying about, which the folks wanted to read. He is using table butler to cook with, and sets the cookingbutter on the table. Things fail into the dough—buttons, matches, and bits of coal.

In the midst of all the culinary riot, chaos, smoke grecse, soot, rags and flour, the wife comes home. She opens ihe hall door, and is oppressed by the cloud of smoke She knows ihen that the ctilninary fit is on her husband. Shestepsinto the kitchen. There he stands, red, heated, flustered, caught in the act, with a big spoon in one hand, a tormentor in the other, a spot of black on his nose. The frying pan is full of hot, smoking lard. It sizzles and sputters all over him as lie stands there with back to the stove, and all over everything for many feet around. There comes from the oven door a suspicious smell of smoke: his biscuit are burning All sorts of things in pots are boilingover. She rushes to his assistance Both burr, their fingers. He has mislaid half the stove covers, and cannot find ihem. One is discovered a fortnight afterward up stairs, under the bed. How did it get there? He says he didn't know he was carrying it up at the lime. Absent-minded, lie was looking for a clean towel.

Ilis wife, in despair, goes to her room and cries, and thinks of her happy giil hood days. She does not come down to snpper. No one eats much at evening. He has the whole table to himself, lie hasn't much appetite either He gets up every half minnte for some forgotten article—for the salt, for bread, for a cup, for a saucer. When he has entirely fin ished, he finds the potatoes forgotten: they are still on the stove boiling—boiling peacemeal. boiling furiously, like the diiving of Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who drove rapidly.

Next day his wife comes down stairs and hires a woman to clean up. Things gel settled in about a week. It is his only fault. He sticks to it that he can cook better than any woman in ihe world if he chooses "to s've his mind to it." She says the mania never broke out in him until they had been two years married. Twice a year it races and the kitchen smokes. All California husbands have a touch of this disease. It was contracted in the mines in the flush days of '49.—PRENTICE MULFORD, in the MONTHLY GOSSIP of the November number of Lippincott's Mayazine.

Our Indian Policy.

A dispatch from San Francisco says that the whole white population of Arizona and Southern California has signed a petition protesting against the evils of Vincent Collyer's peace policy, and asking that the savage license of General Crook and his soldiers shall be substituted instead. This memorial, no doubt, ex presses the views of Arizonians and Californians. They i'.e themselves rugged and lawless, but little given to admiration of the comforts of peace, and inclined storngly to maintain ascendancy by brute force. Sentiments like these have ever controlled the border populations, and under their influence the wrongs perpetrated against the Indians from New England Puritan times, even to the present, have been encouraged and justified. The Western sentiment in regard to the Indians is embodied in the words "Kill, kill, kill." The indiscriminate slaughter of the Indian races is the only thing that will satisfy the Western man. To such the peace policy of President Grant is unutterably inexplicable. They cannot understand why any privileges should be allowed to the Indians why faith should be kept with them, and why any efforts should be made to reform or change them. Mr. Collver, in their opinion, is an absurd, soft hearted fanatic His efforts to do justice to the Indians and to win their confidence by honest treatmen excite their wonder, contempt and indignation They desire no such policy Crook and bis troopers are the sort of avengers whom they fancy. It is delightful to them to hear of the sudden inva sionofan Indian village and the slaugh ter of old men, women and children, and the destruction of the settlement by fire This alone is the sort of Indian policy which satisfies them Vincent Collver's imitation o' the policy of William Pecn is to them disgusting, and, according to their notion', injurious The President is not likely to pav any attention to these bloody instructions. Himself, a soldier who has seen servicc in the Indian treritorv, he understands correctly the character of the Indian and the spirit which too frequently controls the officers of the army. He has chosen between them, on and

PROCLAMATION

nv THE PRESIDENTOF THE UNITED STATES. WASHINGTON, C, October ?.S.— The process of the seasons has again enabled the husbandmen to garner the fruit of successful toil. Industry has been generally well rewarded, we are at peace with all nations, tranquility, with few exceptions, prevails at home. Within the past year we have in the main been free of ills which elsewhere afflicted our kind. If some of lis have had calamities, there should be occasion for sympathy with sufferers, resignation on their part to the will of the Most High, and rejoicing to many who have been more favored. I therefore recommend that on Thursday, the 30th day of November next, the peo pie meet in their respective places of worship, and there make the usual acknowledgments to Almighty God for the blessings he has conferred upon them, their merciful exemption from evils, and invoke his protection and kindness for their le's fortunate brethren, whom in his wisdom he deemed it best to chastise. In faith whereof, 1 have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of State to be affixed.

The plaintiff is Clayton's ninth wife, and a suit for divorce before the United States Court, of course cannot be maintained The testimony of the merit of ihe cise, however, it is expected will be decidedly curious, inasmuch as to admit that the plaintiff is defendant's wife, would leavt him open to the charge ofpolvgainv.

He hi? not withdrawn from either position and does not intend to do so at present if at all. There is nothing new to be said of Ingersoll, He has not returned, but his fatherand Tweed declare he will certainly come back this morning. The other thieves,- Haggerty and Baulch, will be

Deputy Sheriff Jarvis assigned four officers yesterday lo search for ingersoll on trains arriving from the East, but they were not successful in finding him. As soon as he arrives he is to be arrested, and none of the considerations which were shown Tweed are to be used toward the co defendant. Mr. Jarvia said yesterday that Ingersoll would be j, treated like any ordinary prisoner.
