THURSDAY, APRIL 19,1877.

WADE HAMPTON is monarch of all he surveys.

THE grain dealers ot Terre Haute are a blood-thirsty set. They want a war.

RUSSIA'S prospects for taking a Turkish bath in the Bosphorus are first class.

THE number of lost by the Southern hotel fire has no* yet been definitely de termined.

OLD Ben Wade has joined Blaine and Butler in their prospective war on Hayes.

THE Cincinnatir Enquire announces itself as in favor ol the silver dollar ®f the mothers.

A FEW big naval battles ought to change the name of the Hellespont to Hells Pond.

LUCKY speculators in pork in this vicinity, take off their hats now when they meet a porker on the street.

^ALExisis still in this country, notwithstanding his dear papa, is imobilizng his army, and preparing to placc every available soldier in the field. This is not as it should be.

WITHIN the next six weeks twelve different railroads in this country are to be sold at auction. Here is a fine chance for some enterprising tramp to end his wanderings.

ACCORDING to Gen. Sherman the war between Russia and Turkey will cost a million lives. How the closing of ten hundied thousand mouths in death is going to make corn and pork go up is not exactly discoverable, and yet it goes at the very prospect.

A row in Utah between the Joe Smith and the Brighatn Young factions is promised soon. The former propose to use John D. Lee's confession implicating Brighatn in the massacre as a means of accomplishing the discomfiture of the prophet. When thieves tall out, etc.

AN exchange accounts for President Hayes'supposed sympathy with Nicholls on the ground that he was originally a Whig. A revival of that organization is hardly practicable. With three-fourths of the voting population of the country, the old Whig party is merely historical.

THE St, Louis Times punches the peo. pie of Chicago in the following pungent paragraph:

Beecher says: "St. Louis is the Midland Queen Already large, she is vital, forceful, budding and branching like a Banyan tree. I should like to live there Now let the Chicagorillas bow their heads and howl!

HAYES has imitated the latter day policy of Hiram Ulysses. He now calls unto him the Associated Press Agent, and pours into the ears of that worthyi the 6tory of his opinions, their formation, and their growth. His talk of yesterday will be found in another column of today's GAZETTE.

GOVERNOR WILLIAMS is expected, in a few days, to give to the public the names of the State House Commissioners whom he has chosen. It is understood that he has selected for the place none but men skilled in architecture, and therefore able to form intelligent opinions on all matters that come b-jfore them.

N EWS from the Black Hills, of late, is of the most encouraging nature. Mr. Lo has abandoned the field, going south to the Government reservation. Gold and silver has been discovered in quarters, which will well repay working. What is most pertinent, adventurers are flecking thither by the thousand, determined to dig out their fortunes from the stubborn earth. re 1 «dT

TWEEDS confession which was published in the GAZETTE of yesterday afternoon has stirred up the old ringsters to a high pitch of excitement.^ Denials are now in order and are pourilig in thick and fast. The

BARNUM and the other menagerie men have begun their spring campaign of ad vertising. Wild animals are now expected to break from their cages, and slash keepers all around the ring. It exercises the animals, advertises the show, and doesn't hurt the keepers, who are nearly, but never quite killed.

is gratifying to see the har

ACCORDING to the New York Sun the attendance on Miss Anna Dickinson's Dramatic performances has been much greater since her attack on the press, than it was before. Anna knows how to make her enemies advertise her. Those papers which were most severe in their structures have,in the warmth of their defense of themselves against her attacks on them, been compelled unwillingly to make amends for their neglact. They have advertised her extensivelv.

SYMPATHY in Terre Haute on the Russia-Turkish war, is equally divided Some want Russia to win and others would lite to see Turkey succeed. The majority don't care much either way, so hey fight. That is the important question. A few thousand Turks or Russians slaughtered, does not appear a matter of much moment, as compared with the rise in corn, wheat and pork.

THE Democratic municipal ticket nominated on Saturday night, is a good one, and should and will receive the earnest support of all the Democratic voters in the city. It is one of those tickets which does not require the publication of the biographies of the nominees. They are all well-known men, identified with the best interests of the city, and sure to receive not only the solid support o^ the party but of many others besides.

THE probable complexion ol the next Congress will be

150

Democrats and

143

Republicans. New England has 2^ members in the House, and of these,

will be Republicans and

Democrats.

In the four Middle States, the Democrats have

FARMERS in the bottoms across the river are greatly encouraged at the prospect before them. The overflow they have already had leads them to believe they will be troubled no more in that way this season. And if they can once succeed in raising a crop there it will be something worth having. No ground anywhere about Terre Haute is comparable to the bottom across the river in richness. Anything that will grow can be raised upon it.

THE St Louis Times has studied the situation and understands it as witness the following:

A newspaper in West Virginia is of the opinion that Blue Jeans Williams for President, and Wade Hampton ior vicePresident, would constitute about the strongest ticket that could be put in the field for

1880

but if the Democrats of

Indiana are to have any say at all in this matter, they have a gentleman already selected as their presidential standa rd bearer whose claim i« considerably prior to that of their excellent gove rnor. His name is Hendricks.

A VERY great deal of sickly sen timentality is being indulged in by the papers over the death of one Chas. ienan. He we understand,was a professional gambler and generally one of those characters who bang on the inner edge of outlawry defying the laws and escaping their penalties. His home was in St. Louis, and his place of business, if such it may be called, was near the Southern Hotel. On the night of the fire he was among the first to hear the alarm, his peculiar busis ness being best adapted to the dark hourbetween midnight arid morning. Going to the fire, and in attempting to rescue

of the unfortunate inmates, he became confused, and lost his life. He is paraded back and forth through the papers, as a hero and a martyr, and a sort of glamour is thrown over his life, calculated to give the impretsion that his heroism is the product, and as it were fruitage, of his mode of life. There has been something too much of this. He did his duty, bravely and well, but it does not justify his mode of life and is far from proving it to have been worthy of imitation as the school for heroism.

A PAPER without a plan for afire escape from a hotel, is a novelty. The latest we have seen is the following from the New York Evening Express:

The Sauthern Hotel disaster with its terrible scenes and heavy loss of life, shows the absolute necessity of fire es capes, and calls loudly for a low compelling builders to construct them in large hotels. No loss of life would have occurred had the Southern Hotel been provided with an ample fire escape. The Rossmore Hotel in this city has a model one, the iron stair-case of which is surrounded by a heavy brick wall, and ex tends from basement to roof. Iron staircases lead into it from every floor of the hotel. Such an escape is sure guarantee against loss of life in case of fire. Every new hotel should take a serious hint from the St. Louis disaster.

It is in order to remark that this spasm will passxjff in a few days and the jewel bedecked clerk will still send the belated travelers sky ward as of old. Ho-

tels will be made no more fire proof than they are, and will not be provided with fire escapes. Absolute security against fire can be provided, yet it ik a costly contrivanC and already the American public demands a dollar of entertainment l'or fifty cents of pay from the bankrupt proprietors of the great hotels As at present built, the great hotels are losing concerns and none of them pretend to pay more than two or three per cent, on the original investment. It is safe to say that no prospective proprietor wil throw in additional funds into an unornamented fire escape. His unprotected rival, would walk off with all the patronage, by the display of combustible tinsel. We make a great parade now

matter

the

question, but two months hence wil mount the sixth and sixteenth story i* they had it, with light hearts if heavy feet. And what is more, it is really no great matter. Since it was built several million guests have been entertained at the Southern hotel. Out of that number, five or six appear to have gone to premature graves. It would be an easy

tofigure out a hotel as the safest

p'ace for a person to be, fire escape or not.

AT last Boss Tweed has broken om p!ete!y down. He has found an answer to his infamous inquiiy, "What are they going to do about it." A convicted thief he was sent to jail. An escaped convict, he hid hh face from his fellow-inen in foreign lands. Captured and returned to prison he has ruminated on his broken fortunes. The duplicity of his fellowknaves who have been most ficrcc in their denunciation of him has pierced even his thick hide. The arch thief ol the most gigantic conspiracy of the age against the people has lost heart of late. His vaunted courage and pluck have all vanished. He has not left the once remaining virtue which was claimed for him, of protecting those who were his friends. A weak old booby he bawls out for release. He will tell anything and give up everybody. It matters little to him. He wants to go free. The names of many of the men whom. he mentions as having been implicated in the ring frauds are of people who have heretofore held their heads high. He proposes to sweep them as low as his own. Although he may not by his testimony send them to prison, he

et hopes to make

them outcasts and vagabonds upon the face of the earth—men at whom the finger of scorn will be pointed as they pass to and fro before their i'ellow men.

It is interesting to write in this connection that Tweed sets at rest all the mystery that hung around the sudden disappearance of ex-Mayor A. Oakey Hall. That worthy, according to Tweed, was one of the active members of the ring, fully cognizant of its doings, as a sharer of its profits to the extent of ten per cent. All this Tweed tells in his confession and it was the fear of just thia thing which led Hall to flee the couutry.

As to Tweed himself, it is to be hoped he will not be per mitted to leave jail before the expiration of his sentence. His property can be secured to the city, and his con fe9sion as far as made, has put the brand of dishonor on the name of every man mentioned. He can do no more. Let him rot in jail. His confession wiil be found in another column and is as inter teresting as a romance.

THE CENTENNIAL FUND.

The Supreme Court has decided, very much to the disgust of the stockholders of the Centennial exhibition, that the million and a half loan of the government must be paid back, before any demands can be declared on the stock When this enterprise was first started strenuous appeals were made to Congress for an appropriation to aid in the inauguration of the enterprise. It was first proposed that the appropriation should be in the form of a loan, guaranteeing the success of the exhibition. It was said that such action on the part of the General Government, would commend it to the people as a national affair, to make its success more certain. Certain men in Congress, and a very great many people over the country Celt sure that if possible the managers would use the money to their own advantsge, and that of all the persons who invested in the enterprise, the government would be the last to receive anything back. Thanks however, to the efforts of Senators Sumner and Schurz, the appropriation was so hedged about by restrictions that a plain inte -pretation of the law under which the money was» given makes it necessary to give back out of the surplus funds, the amount Of the Governments donation. This, is as it should be.

OUR extra session of Congress pro ises to be lively. Blaine and Butler have their war paint on. In both Senate and House a simultaneous attack will be made by these two men. who are the most adroit politicians in the country. What their following will be, i3 as yet a difficult matter to determine. But they are not likely to engagd in a regular battle without the forces that are to assist them. It is to be hoped that our Turkish and Russian friends would hurry up and finish their war before this interesting forensic fight begins. We do not wish to be embarrassed by two great sensations at once and the same time.

THE DOW TWINS.

•'v From the New York Pun. "My notions about soul's influence on soul," said Dr. Richards, of Saturday Cove, to me one day last September, "are a little peculiar. don't make a practice of giving 'e away to the folks around here. The Cove people hold that when a doctor gets beyond jalap and rhubarb he's trespassing on the parson's property. Now, it's a long road from jalap to soul, but I don't see why one man mightn't travel as well as another. Will you oblige me with a clam

I obliged him with a clam. We werr sitting together on the rocks, fishing fol tomcod. Saturday Cove is a smal, watering place a lew miles below Belfast on the west shore of Penobscott Bay. I, apparently derives its name from a belieft generally entertained by the Covers, that the spot was the final and crowning achievement of the Creator befor resting on the seventh dav. The Cove village consists of a hotel, two churches, several stores, and a grave yard containing former generations of Saturdarians. It is favorite gibe among outsiders, who envy the placid quiet of the place, that if the population of the graveyard should be dug up and distributed through the village, and the present inhabitants laid away beneath the sod, there would be no perceptible liveliness cf the settlement. The proper cove abounds with tomcod, which may be caught with clams. "Yes," continued Dr. Richards, as he forced the bai of his jig hook into the tender organism of the clam, "my theory

hat a strong soul may ciowd a weak soul out of the body which belongs to the weak soul and operate through tnatbody, even though miles away and involuntarily. I believe, moreover, that a man may have two souls, one his own by right and the other an intruder. In fact, I know that this is so, and it being so, what be

comes

of your moral responsibility?

What, I ask, becomes of your moral responsibilities?" I replied that I could not imagine "Your doctrine of moral responsibility," said the doctor sternley, as if it were my doctrine and I were responsible for moral responsibility, "isn't worth this tomcod," and he took a small fish off his hook and contemptuously tossed it back into the Cove. "Did you ever hear of the case of the Dow twins?"

I had never heard of the case of the Dow twins. "Well," resumed the doctor, "they weteborn in the family of Hiram Dow, thirty years or mere ago, in the red farm house juat over the hill back of us. My predecessor, old Dr. Gookin, superintended their birth, and has often told me the circumstances. The Dow Twins came into the world bound back to back by a fleshy ligature which extended half the length of the spinal processes. They would probably have traveled through life in intimate juxtaposition had the matter depeuded on your great city surgeons,—your surgeons who were afraid to disconnect Chang and Eng, and who discussed the operation till the poor fellows died without parting company. Old Dr. Gookin, however, who hadn't attempted anything for years in the surgical line, more than to pull a tooth or to cut an occasional wen, calmly went to work and sharpened up his rusty old operating knife, and slashed and gashed the twins apart before they had been three hours breathing This promptitude of Gookin's saved th Dow twins a good deal of inconveni* ence." "I should think so'" "And yet," added the doctor, reflectively. "Perhaps it might have been better for'em both if they hadn't been separated. Better for Jehiel, especially, since he wouldn't have been put in a false position. Then on the other hand, my theory would have lacked the confirmation of an illustrative example. Do you want the story?" "By all means "Well, Jacob and Jehiel grew up healthy strapping boys, like as two peas phisically, but otherwise very unlike. Jehiel was all Dow—slow, slow-witted, melancholy, inclined to respect the ten commandments. Jake, he had his mother's git-up-and-git—she was a Fox of Fox Island— and was into mischief from the time he was big enough to poke burdock burrs down his grandmother's back. Dr. Gookin watched the development of the twins with great interest. He used to say that there was an invisible nerve telegraph between Take and Jehiel. At any rate Jehiel wa3 accustomed to act very queerly whenever Jacob was up to any of his pranks. One night, for instance, when Jake was off robbing a hen rocst, Jehiel sat up in his bed in his sleep and crowed like* a frightened cock until the whole family was aroused. "I cams here and opened my office about ten years ago. At that time Jehiel had grown into a steady, tolerably industrious young man, prominent in the Congregational Church, and so sober and decorous that the village people had trusted him wifh the driving of the town hearse. When I first knew him he was courting a young woman named Giles, who lived about seven miles back in the country. Jehiel was a tin knocker by trade, and a nore pious, respectable, reliable tin knocker you never saw. "Jake had turned out very differently. By the time of Sumter he had made Saturday Cove too hot to hold him. and every body, including his twin Jeheil, was glad when he enlisted in a Maine regiment. I never saw Jake in my life, for I came after he had departed, bu»-1 have a pretty good notion what a reckless, loudmouthed, harum-scarum reprobate he he must have been. After the war he drifted into the Western country, and we heard of him occasionally, first as steamboat runner at St. Louis, then in jail at Jefferson for swindling a blind dutchman, then as a gambler and rough at Cheyenne, and finally as a dead beat in Frisco. You could tell pretty well when Jake was in diviltry by watchtng the actions of Jehiel. At such times Jehiel was restless knocked tin with an uneasy impatience that was" habitual with with him, was as mum and glum at prayer meeting as the worst sinner at Saturday cove, and evidently had to struggle hard to be good. It seems as if Dr. Gookin's knife, which cut the physical twins apart, had been unable to dissever the psychical twins, and that some part of Jake's soul lingered at times in Jehiel. Whether Jehiel's piety ever influenced Jacob, I am unable to say. "The most singular thing of all was in regard to Jehiel's attentions to the young woman named Giles. She was a sober, demure, church-going person, whom Jacob had never been able to endure, but who, as everybody said, would make an excellent helpmate for Jehiel. He seem.

ed to care a good deal for her in his steady, slow way, and made a point twice a wetk of driving over to bring her to prayer meeting at the Cove. But when one of his odd spells w^s on him he forsook her altogether, and weeks would go by, to her great distress, without his appearing at the Giles gate. As Jake went from bad to worse these periods of indifference became more frequent and prolonged, and occasioned the young woman named Giles much misery and a good many tears. "One fine ofternoon in the summer of

1871,

Jacob Dow, as we afterward 1-arn-ed. was shot through the heart by a Mexican in a drunken row in San Diego. He sprang high into the air and fell upon his face, and when they laid him aw«y a good Catholic priest said mass for the repose ot his soul. "That same afternoin, as it ippmed, old Dr. Gookin was to have been buried in the graveyard yonder. He had died a day or two before at an extreme age, but in the full possession ofiiis faculities, and one of the last remarks he made was to express a regret that he would be unable to follow the Dow twins anv further. "It became Jehiel's melancholy duty to harness up his hearse on account Ot" old Dr. Gookin's funeral, and as he du«ted the plumes and polished the ebony panels of the vehicle, his thoughts naturally recurred to the great service which that excellent physician had rendered him in early youth. Then he thought of his twin brother Jacob, and wondered where he was and how he prospered. Then his eyes wandered over the hearse, and he felt a dull pride in its creditable appearance. It looked so bright and shiny in the sun that he resolved, as it still wanted a couple of hours of the time appointed for the funeralTto drive it over to the Giles arm and fetch his sweetheart to the villiage on the box with him. The young woman named Giles had frequently ridden with Jehiel on the hearse, her demure leatures and sober apparel detracting nothing from the respectable solemnity of the equipage. "Jehiel drove up in state to the door of his betrothed, and sne, not at all reluctant to enjoy the mild excitement of a tu neral, mounted to the box and settled herself comfortably beside him. Then they started for Saturday Cove, and jogged along on the hearse, discoursing affectionately as they went. "Miss Giles affirms that it was at the third apple tree next the stone wall of Hosea Getchell's orchsrd, just opposite the bars leading to Mr. Lord's private road, that a sudden and most extraordinary change came over Jehiel. He jumped, she says, high into the air and landed sprawling" into the sandy road alongside the hearse, yelling so hideeu-ly that it wis with difficulty that she held the frightened horses. Picking himself up and uttering a round oath (something that had never before passed the virtuous lips of Jehiel) he turned his attention to the horses, kicking and beating them until they stood quiet. He next proceeded to cut and trim a willow switch at the roadside, and pulling his decent silk hat down over one eye, and darting from the other a surly glance at the astonished Miss Giles, he climbed to his seat on the hearse. "Jehiel Do.w said she, "what does this mean "It means!" he replied, giving the off horse a vicious cut with his switch, "that I have been goin' slow these thirty year, and now I'm goin'to put a little ginger in my gate- Gelang!" "The hearse horses jumped under tha unaccustomed lash and broke into a gallop. Jehiel applied the switch again and again, and the dismal vehicle was soon bumping over the rode at a tremendous pace, Jehie'. shouting all the time like a circus rider, and Miss Giles clinging to his side in an agony of terror. The people in the farm houses along the way rushed to doors and windows and gazed in amazement at the unprecedented spectacle. Jehiel had a word for each—a shout ot derision for one, a blast of blasphemy for another, and an invitation to ride for a third—but he reined in for nobody, and in a twinkling the five miles between Hosea Getchell's farm at Duck Trrp and the village at Satunlay Cove had been accomplished. I think I am safe in saying that never before did hearse rattie over five miles of hard road so rapidly. "'O,Jehiel, Jehiel!' said Miss Giles, as the hearse entered the village, 'are you took crazy of a sudden.' 'No,' said Jehiel, curtly, 'but my eyes are open now. Gelang, you beasts! You get out here I'm going to Belfast.' "'But, Jehiel, dear,' she protested, with many sobs, 'remember Dr. Gookin.' •"Dang Gookin!' said Jehiel. 'And for my sake,' she continued, 'Dear Jehiel, for my sake.' "Dang vou, too!" said Jehiel. "Drawing up his team in magniiicent style before the village hotel, he com

pelled

whoop of a Sioux brave, started his melancholoy vehicle for Belfast, and was gone in a flash, leaving the entire populatisn of Saturday Cove in a state of be wilderment that approached coma. "The remains of the worthy Dr Gookin were borne to the graveyard that afternoon upon the shoulders of half dozen of the stoutest farmers in the neighborhood. Jehiel came home long after midnight, uproariously intoxicated. The revolution in his character had teen as complete as it was sudden. From the momnet of Jacob's death, he was a dissipated, dishonest scoundrel, the scandal of Saturday Cove, and the terror of quite respectable folks for miles around. After that day he never could be persuaded to speak to or even to recognize the young woman named Giles. She, to her credit, I think, still remains in spinstcrhood, faithful to the memory of the lost Jeheil. His downward course was rapid. He gambled, drank, quarreled and stole,and he is now in state prison at Thomaston, serving out a sentence for.an attempt to rob the Northport bank. Miss Giles goes down every year in the hopes that he will see her, but he always refuses. He is in for ten years." "And he deserves all of it," I ventured to remark. "See here," said Dr. Richards, turning suddenly and looking me square in the face. *'Do you think of what you are saying? Now I hold that he is as innocent as you or I. I beiieye that the souls of the twins were bound by a bond which Dr. Gookin's knife could not dissect. When Jacob died, his soul, with all its depravity, returned to it's twin soul in Jehiel's body. Being stionger than Jehiel's soul is, it mastered and everwhelmedit.

Poor

Jehiel is not responsible he

is suffering'the penalty of a crime that was clearly Jake's." My friend spoke with a good deal of

earnestness and some heat, and concluc ed that Jehiel's innocence was a hobby his: I did not press the discuss

NATIONAL BANK FEITS.

That evening^ in conversation with th village clergyman, I remarked: "That was a very singular case—thi of the Dow twins." "Ah!" said the parson, "you hav heard the story. Which way did th doctor end it "Why, with Jehiel in jail, of coursi What do you mean "Nothing," replied the parson, with faint smile. "Ssmetimes. when he feel well disposed toward humanity, he make Jehiel's soul take posession ot Jacob an transforms him into a pious, respectablt Christian, In his pessimistic mood th story runs as you heard it. So this one of his Jacob days II should tak a liitle quinine."
