The lest health bulletin from Grey

of Mr. TUden that “at first glance he gave
the impression of a galvanized corpse, as
almost all conscious expression appeared
to have left the eyes, and the Hps were
closed with a pale, rigid expression that
was a strong reminder of death. He
seemed to take no notice of anybody or
anything, never opened his lips, while his
right arm and hand hung down limp by
his side and shook as if with palsy. His
face was p*nri and pinched around the
region of his mouth and chin, and the
whole countenance wore an expression of
the utmost vacuity. The impression his
appearance gave was that a man in the
last stages of physical decay, sustained
on his feet by a powerful effort of the will
and intellect." Such accounts of the
physical condition of the sage of Gram
eracy have been frequent, and yet as fre
quently do we hear of his intellect being
M e\**r ~i strong as ever in his life. It
is to be hoped that after the pnMßt week
the reporters and the crank politicians
will all let this noble old man alone and
let him spend the balance of his days in
The Polygamy Bill
, The Senate bill aimed at polygamy In
Utah did not get through the House. It
will have to take it* chances next winter.
There is no doubt that the sentiment of
Congress is against temporizing with
polygamy. The only question is. bow to
deal with it wisely and effectually. There
is no disposition to interfere with the
Mormon Church only in so far as it under
takes to protect and encourage polygamy.
The Mormons are at liberty to entertain
any religious belief that they please, but
they sre not at liberty to dety
the laws of the country. In s weak way
the government has attempted to prevent
polygamy, and it has only succeeded in
The failure of the govern
ment to enforce the law has encouraged
the Mormons to believe that they are being
persecuted, and that they are strong
enough to resist all attempt# to suppress
their chief institution. For a good
many years’tbe favorite idea of a class of
statesmen has been that the oalv suc
cessful way to deal with polygamy was
to expose Mormons to the influences of
the Christian religion, and to the
enlightened teaching of the high
est civilization. Many years ago
it was said that the advancing tide of im
migration toward the West would soon
destroy polygamy. That was a mistaken
idea. From Utah the Mormons have car-
ried polygamy into Montana. Idaho. Wyo
ming and New Mexico. The missiona
ries of the Mormon Church are more deep
ly in earnest than the missionaries
of Christianity. The Mormon Church not
only holds all it has with a film grasp,
but it is all the time gathering new re
cruits from Europe and the different parts
of this country. It does not appeal to
the enlightened and intelligent but to the
ignorant and immoral. It wants human
beings, and it doesn’t want them refined
to a point at which they will view with
horror its revolting practices and teach
ings. It is ail well enough to point out the
immoralities that are exposed by the
divorce laws in civilized communities,
but the existence of one wrong does not
justify or excuse another. Immorality in
Christian communities is not surrounded
by a religious halo.and is not practiced as
a right and in open defiance of law. The
Mormon Church is in open rebellion
against the government through
whose sufferance it exists. It is
itself a government and is inimi
cal to free institutions and an ob
struction to civilization. Its corner
stone is polygamy. Without polyga
my it would quickly fall to pieces.
The aim. however, is not to destroy the
Mormon religion, but the institution of
polygamy. It is evident that Congress
must do something, but there is a lack of
agreement as to what that something
shall be. Lately Bavaria passed a law
prohibiting Mormon missionaries from
making proselytes within her borders.
Doubtless other European States will
adopt like measures when they are
aroused to the horrors of polygamy. This
government could not very well re
fuse to allow Mormon immigrants
to land in this country. It might shut its
ports to polygamous Mormons, but as a
rule Mormons onlv become polygamists
after they reach Utah, or one of the terri
tories where polygamy flourishes. It is
evident that the forces that have thus far
been depended upon to prevent polygamy
are impotent. The institution can be de
stroyed only by the enactment and en
forcement of the most stringent laws.
The sooner such laws are enacted the
better it will be for the country.
Events at Chicago.
The National Democratic Convention
meets to-day. The choice for Temporary
Chairman fell upon ex-Gov. Hubbard, of
Texas. He is an able man and an excel
lent presiding officer. The New York
delegation yesterday had a long and
rather exciting session. The re
sult was in favor of Cleveland.
Tammany proposes to contest the unit
rule in the convention, but Tammany
does not appear to have the sympathy of
the delegates, and the chances are that
the contest will be short. If Cleveland
gets the entire New York delega
tion, as he probably will under
the unit rule, the prospects
for his nomination will be greatly im
proved. The tide appears to be running
strongly in his favor at present. John
Kelly opposes him, but there appears to be
a disposition to ignore Kelly and his Tam
many following. It is doubtless thought
that the Republican votes that Cleveland
is pretty certain to get in New York will
more than offset the votes he may lose on
account of Tammany’s hostility. There
may be new developments to-day, but tbe
situation yesterday was Undoubtedly fa
vorable for Cleveland’s success.
The Adjournment of Congress.
The first session of the Forty-eighth
Congress came to an end at 3 o’clock yes
terday. The session was •k-fly notice
able for the large number of bills intro
duced and tbe small number passed.
There was very little noteworthy legisla
tion. The attempt to reduce the tariff
failed, and nothing was done to cut down
the large surplus revenue. Tbe tailure is
chargeable to the Protectionists who op
posed the Morrison bill. The two houses
could not agree on an electoral count bill,
and the country remains exposed to the
dangers which grow out of electoral
count disputes. The Republicans are
responsible for the failure of the Mexican
pension bill. As the Hoqse passed tbe
bill it dealt only with the Mexican vet
erans. The Senate wholly changed the
character of it, and made it a bill to in
crease the pension list of Union soldiers
in the late war. They also changed tbe
provisions relating to the Mexican vete
rans. and made them so obnoxious to the
House that that body refused to approve
them. The Republicans attempted to get
through an immense appropriation for
coast and harbor defenses, and also a bill
requiring the expenditure of millions of
dollars for new cruisers. These attempts
at extravagance the Democrats defeated.
The regular naval appropriation bill
was not passed; a temporary provision
for tbe navy for the next six months was
made. The Secretary of State did not get
the #250,000 which tbe Senate was dis
posed to give him for the Nicaragua canal
project, tv hether the refusal to make this
appropriation was wise or not can only
be determined by time. There were wide
differences between the Senate and House
on about all the appropriation bills. The
House made by far tbe most concessions
in the conferences, but the Senate was
forced to yield to tbe House on the most
important matters. Unless Congress
does better next session the Fortv-eiehth
Congress will not be known in history as
a great Congress.
Tbe Philadelphia Timet points out that
one of the Blaine electors in Sew York
and one in Pennsylvania will have to re
sign. In fact the one in Sew Yerk has
already resigned. He is a colored preacher
and was made an elector with the hope of
capturing the Sew York colored vote.
The dizxy height to which he was raised
exposed him to the view of seme
of his old Virginia parishioners. It
seems that 'his home had been
in Virginia, and that be bad left there be
cause he found it uncomfortable to re
main. Tales began to arrive from Vir
ginia which led the colored preacher to
discover that be was not a citizen of Sew
York. Tbe Pennsylvania elector is Calvin
Wells, a wealthy Pittsburg iron manufac
turer and the owner of the Philadelphia
Press. The Times alleges that the at
tempt of Mr. Wells’ editor to
strike the iron manufacturers for a
$20,000 subsidy to help circulate
the Weekly Press has angered the work- 1
ingmen. and that Wells will have to re
sign in to avoid the loss of a Blaine
elector in Pennsylvania. The Times may
be putting the case rather strong so tar
as Wells is concerned, but it is certain
that the colored preacher has dropped out
of the race. *

Progress of the Cholera.
The death rate at Toulon and Marseille*
from cholera is yet very small. It is prob
able that if tbo*e cities were in excellent
sanitary condition it would remain small.
In fact, it is probable that the cholera
would not have formed a lodgment in
either of them if they had been dean.
Even now, filthy aa fey are, it is believed
that the death rate will not greatly in
crease. although the diseaae mav Unger
through the hot months. It is fe opin
ion, however, of the eminent German
physician. Dr. Koch, that It will
spread all over Europe. The scare
which fe outbreak caused was much
greater than that which has usually
followed the outbreak of yellow
fever in our Southern cities.
One account says that out of fe W.OW
tax-pavers in Toulon tuUy 40,000 have fled.
Many were so stricken with terror they
abandoned their valuables in their homes.
The tnght has tended to increase fe
plague, because fe stoppage of all busi
ness has left the laboring classes without
work, and consequently without money.
Many. therefore, are starring,
and their physical condition invites
attacks of fe plague. Of course there to
no want of quacks and quack remedies.
Confidence. It to said, that was
for a day or two felt in fe oxygen cure,
has been lost. The people of Cognac are
advertising their brandy as a sure remedy.
Tbe Mayor of that town has ordered that
every citizen.as soon as he is conscious of
any bodily ailment, shall take a spoonful
of cognac, and ten drops of laadanum mix
ed in a cup of camomile tea. If it were not
for the laudanum and tea there are many
doubtless who would be glad of an ex
cuse to take, fe Mayor’s prescription.
Even if the cholera does not increase,
Toulon and Marseilles will suffer greatly
if the disease lingers for several
months. They are at a standstill, as it
were. Business is paralyzed. If it is
true, as stated, that the plague was
brought from Egypt in a transport, the
health authorities of seaports in Europe
and this country can hardly fail to see
the necessity of vigilance. The introduc
tion of cholera into any one of our large
seaport cities would cause the loss of
millions of dollars. A great responsi
bility rests upon health officers.
Butler’s Boom.
Butler appears to be managing his own
boom at Chicago. All the other candi
dates have placed their interests in the
hands of their friends. Butler has more
confidence in his own skill as a politi
cal manager than he has in that of any
one else. There are no indications that
he has any strength worth mentioning.
Outside of the Massachusetts delegation
he cannot count upon more than a dozen
votes. He to working, however, as if he
thought he was certain of the nomina
tion. His arrival at Chicago caused a
ripple of excitement, but nobody
except John Kelly appears to be paying
him much attention at present. He pa
rades in the corridors of the hotel in a
fifty-cent straw hat and a $lO suit of
clothes. He wants it to appear that he
is the workingman’s candidate and that
be isn't proud if he is a millionaire. His
appearance and actions are characteris
tic of the man. He is the prince of dem
agogues and relies upon the tricks of a
demagogue to advance his interests.
There is not the least probability that
he will meet with much encour
agement at Chicago from members
of the convention. Doubtless he will re
ceive some attention from certain classes
of people who will make considerable
noise with the hope of pushing him to the
front, but when tbe balloting begins he
will scarcely be beard of. If he were
gifted with a reasonable amount of
delicacy he wopld not appear in the con
vention. He is not only an avowed candi
date for the nomination, but is the chosen
candidate of tbe Greenbackers and anti
monopolists. It is understood, therefore,
that he will not support the ticket named
by the convention. About the first thing
the convention ought to do is to exclude
him. He would make a row doubtless if
anything of that kind was attempted, and
as a row is not desired it is probable that
he will be permitted to have his say as a
representative of Massachusetts.
Miss Becky Jones, the plucky New
York maiden Rffio will not talk out in

writing on her book to burn patriotic
powder. It is suggested that it the Judge
will just order her not to testify in the
Hammersly will case, he will get all he
wants of her testimony without delay. It
is the nature of many maiden ladies to be
just a bit contrary.
CURRENT COMMENT.
An Honest Veto Message.
Jft York Erening Pott {Rep. s.
What tbe veto ought to have contained was
simple this: “For various reasons, political
and other, which I intend to keep to mys-lf. I
do not wish to restore Fitz John Porter to his
rank in the army, and I am not going to do it.
It has been suggested in some quarters that
Congress has no constitutional right to au
thorize or direct me to do it; but this, every
body knows, is mere buncombe.”
What Weakens the Republican Hold.
St. Louie Republican Bern.).
The Republican policy is Dot fairly pre
sented in their platform, but it can be extorted
from ih< m by a sharp and rigorous canvass.
Even- discussion of the tariff weakens the
Republican hold on tbe people of Illinois, and
there are good reasons for believing that two
earnest and able Democrats like Wm. R
Mojtlsod and Frank Hurd (of Ohio) could, if
they set about it, carry the State for the
Democratic Presidential ticket.
• What It Should Do.
Baltimore Bay [Bern.).
Whatever else the Democratic National
Convention may do, it is to be hoped that
some way raav be found to suppress both
Butler and Kelly, the two most repelling
hangers-on of tbe Democratic party. Neither
of these men is a Democrat, for neither has
any principle but self-assertion. Both rely
upon the lowest elements connected with
American politics, both employ the worst po
litical methods, and both are ready at any
time to betray their political associates.

Though Mr. Thurman is the ablest and most
respectable public sharacter in Ohio, and un

of their good will toward the “model repub

huge blunder was the model Ohio man. The
demand for Ohio men has fallen off greatly

Whes James G. Blaine was Speaker,
With Logan on the floor.
And Mr. Root*, from Arkansaw,
And liftv jobbers more—
The Little’ Bock and Fort Smith bill,
A scheme so deftly laid
For grabbing land, was like to fail,
When Blaine went to its aid.
He gave Black Jack a meaning wink;
Jack took the bait right downy
He snatched that bill from off the brink,
And fixed the thing up brown.
The Holman cats were oat, and Blaine
He played it like a mouse—
Now bless us, Jim's a handy man
To have about the House.

A Timely Shower. —I was mighty thank
ful for that rain we got yesterday.” “Yes. it
did the corn a world of good. How many
acres have you got planted in corn?” “I’ve
got no corn planted this year at all. Iwa sn’t
thinking about crops.” “Well, how then can
the rain benefit vou?" “Too see I don't often
get a decent dinner at borne, as my wife says
she can't cook in hot weather: but vesterday
there was to be a church picnic, and she fixed
up s lunch basket for the preacher’s table,
but it rained so the picnic could not come off.
To keep the preacher's lunch from spoiling
we had it for dinner, and it was the best din
ner I've had since we were married. There
was no end of chick-n. and jellies, and that
sort of alleviations. Don’t tell me that rain
resterday didn’t do the country anT good. It
was the most refreshing shower we nave had
for years. - '— Teeat Sifting*.

Congressman Ch ace, of Rhode Island, is of
a wealthy, aristocratic family of Friends. He
“affirms’’ instead of taking the oath when a

Senator V ance told a Washington reporter
recently that he longed to get back to North

the better he would be suited. He said: “I
want to wafce up in the morning and see the
pine trees, and I want to smell them when I
go to bed. as their perfume floats into the
window and makes me dream that I am a
child again. 1 want to go out into our old
fields once more and see a nigger plowing
with a one-eyed mule, with a coffee sack fora

Ten tears ago Mary Wilkins, of Hopkins
ville, Conn., was employed in a needle fac

dles, running several dozen into both of her
feet. After a few days the pain stopped, and
1% a few rears she married. Eight months
ago the long iost needles began to come out of
her elbow, and since then whenever she
wanted a needle to sew with all she had to
do was to pull one out. The needles are as
bright as tbe day they came oat of the fac
tory.

their father, consisting of 13.400 acres in the
counties of Leeds and Greenville. The sons
engaged in business and married, and were
leading citizens, and left large families, who
are now some of our moat T&lued and honored
friends and countrymen, and, like their grand
father, are generous and sympathetic. I have
in mv possession Gen. Arnold’s military coat
owned bv bis grandson, which I consider of
interest 'to the curious and antiquarian of

answer returned was: “All right. My

A CH APTER OF ETUAVGK MIS
HA PH,
Tk Kx p*rli>c* *f \<Um ltMr And
Mctvvtwr. r Ml* FSKlly.
A number of curious mishaps happened
on fe (Ana of Adam Haaer, in fe town
ship of Dreher, this county, on three aus
oesatv* day* last week, says a Hawley
( Pa. } special to the New York rime*, two
of which narrowly escaped terminating
fatal lv. On one or fe daya two boya, one
the 12-year-old son of Mr. Haaer and
fe other a younger boy named Chap
man. were playing ia fe yani. The lat
ter boy became frightened at a pig that
was passing, and ran to a wait near by
and dimbed oxer fe curb, which was
very low, to hide- In doing this ho fell
into fe well. His playmate shouted for
help, but fearing the boy would drown
before aid arrived, he ran to the well and
climbed down the side of the wall, by
means of fe spaces between fe stones,
and, seizing fe smaller boy bv the hair,
held his head above the water. The cries
bad been heard by a man walking near,
who ran to fe well and lowered the
bucket. Both boys were drawn safely and
uninjured out of the well by clinging to
fe bucket.
Tbe next day Mr. Haser and his wife
were returning home from trading at a
neighboring Tillage, in a one-horse car
riage. On the way the horse took fright
at something and ran away. Mr. Haser
was thrown from the carriage. Mrs.
Haser, who is a very heavy woman,
weighing over 2 pounds, was hurled
over the dashboard. She alighted on the
whiffle trees, and succeeded in grasping
hold of the dashboard, where she held on
for a mile, the horse running at full
speed, and his heels grazing her at nearly
every step. The runaway was then
stopped. Mrs. Haser was seriously in
jured. and is still confined to her bed.
The day after the runaway Mr. Haser
was at work plowing out corn in a field
near fe house. The boy who bad gone
into the well to rescue his playmate was
leading the horse. In one of the furrows
fe boy let loose of fe horse a moment
and it shied to one side. The boy sprang
to seize the bridle, which frightened the
horse and it ran away, taking fe plow
with it. In spite of this impediment the
horse leaped two pairs of bars and a gate
on his way to fe barn. Dashing along
where a number of the farmer’s cows
were feeding, the horse frightened them
and they scampered away. ~ One of them
ran against the well curb and knocked it
OTer. Another cow, following the other
one closely, fell with its hind parts in tbe
well and its fore legs resting on the oppo
site edge of the well. Mr. Haser and nis
boy had not yet arrived on the scene from
the corn field. A 15-year-old daughter of
the farmer saw the predicament ol the
cow at the well and ran to the well and
seized the cow by the horns. This caused
it to flounder about, and in doing so
loosened its hold on the edge of the well
and it tell bodily into the well. Another
son of tbe farmer was digging a well in an
adjoining field. The windlass be was
using was brought to the well wnere the
cow had fallen in aod placed in position
above it. Tbe cow had lodged in the well
30 feet below, about 20 feet Irom the bot
tom. A man let himself down by a rope
and fastened it around the cow. The
windlass was then set to work and fe
cow raised safely to the top. Beyond a few
scratches she was not injured. The horse
ran with the plow half a mile, and then
turned and came back.
Setting Out a Spring Gun.
Chicago Xeu*.
Farmer Lewis up in Lake county was
the fortunate possessor of a pair of band
some mules, for which he recently paid
S6OO in Chicago, and an acre lot ot peas
just now in a promising state of luxuri
ance. His affection was about equally di
vided between the two, but his attention
has been centered on the pea patch of
late, and long hours have been devoted to
devising a scheme to save it from the
nightly depredations of a herd of tame
deer owned by a neighbor. Hearing of a
newly invented spring gun, warranted to
protect all kinds of property from every
species of thief at all times and under ail
circumstances, he sat about improvising
one out of an old flint-lock musket which
descended to him lrom his grandfatner.
He consumed the forenoon of one day
driving stakes and preparing a rack as a
rest for his gun in his cherished pea plat.
Tbe musket was cleaned and duly charged
with a handful of powder and a teacupful
of carpet tacks. As night came on he
shouldered the gun and with a plow line
soon bad it fixed in the rest ar
ranged for it, about on a level with the
body of a deer when standing. One end
of the line was attached to the trigger and
the other to a stake several rods away
in the direction in which the gun pointed.
After surveying his work and smacking
his lips in anticipation of vension steak
for breakfast, Farmer Lewis wentindoors.
He was up bright and early the following
morning and found a S3OO mule dead
among his peas, which were worth at best
about S2O.
A Governor's Reason.
Xoic York Tribune,
Gov. Vance, of Ohio, on coming into
office paid a visit to the State prison,
where there were about one hundred con
victs, and ordered that every man there
be permitted to come up and talk to him.
The result was a perfect storm of peti
tions for pardon, every man pleading in
nocence. One old and grizzled “tough”
stood apart and added nothing to the
clamor.
The Governor called him up:
“What are you in for?”
‘•Stealing.”
“Well, were you guilty?”
“Yes: it's the way I make my living.”
The Governor went back to his office
and pardoned the man. When remon
strated with, his only excuse was:
“Well, I was afraid the thief would con
taminate those other fellows.”
