Bluff and honest Police Justice Huffy,
of New York, has declared glove lights of

The Winchester Arms Company, in
Sew Haven, Uonn., has abandoned the

to a New York paper, made SIO,OOO on his

recover seme steel boring tools which
some scamp wedged in the hole one .’•un

is said to be the second deepest well ever

Gen. Sherman appears to have exerted
himself and exercised his peculiar talent
to the uttermost in the interests ot the
Grant retirement bill, lie is said to have
told the members of Congrts- that Grant
is in absolute want and to have contra

that the $15,000 interest on the Wabash
bmd fund is paid annually. Gen. Slier
man has probably come to the conclusion
that his assertions make facts. He will
probably find out after awhile that facts
are stubborn things which will not down

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll has found a
pulpit champion at last. Rev. Heber
N'ewton, at All Soul’s Church, in Now
York, Sunday, in the course of his ser
mon gave it as bis opinion that Ingersoll
is doing a real service to religion. He
justified the pagan’s attacks on Galvan
ism and the doctrine of a real hell, and
only mildly censured the lecturer for
overdoing the thing and attacking Chris
tianity generally. It is now in order tor
Col. Ingersoll to return the compliment
and tranklv acknowledge that the Rev.
N’ewton is doing a real service to thc
devil, and is only overdoing the business
by not acknowledging lull fealty to his
satanic majesty.
A bill to punish wite beaters by whip
ping has been introduced into the 1 enn
svlvania Legislature, and some of tiie
newspapers of that State give it an un
qualified indorsement. The Philadelphia
Time* says: “The principle of the bill is
a good one, and the public sentiment has
been ready to apply it for some years, so
that the quicker it is done the belter.
There is no other effective punishment for
this offense, and it is time this last resort
was tried.” It has not been very long
since some of the leading Pennsylvania
papers were abusing Delaware in the most
unmeasured terms for retaining the whip
ping post in this enlightened age. There
is no doubt, however, that it is growing
in favor in some sections, and there is a
class of mean and petty criminals that can
be so effectively and cheaply punished in
DO other tuauner than by whipping.
Capt. Pint’s Letter.
The letter of Capt. Bedford Pim, ofi the
British navy, respecting the progress of
the work on the Panama canal and the
obstacles in the way of the completion of
the canal, which was tiled with the Secre
tary of State a couple of months ago, but
which has just been given to the public,
appeals to have created much doubt about
the success of M. de Lesseps’ scheme.
Whatever nay be Capt. Pirn’s purpose in
presenting facts untavorable to the canal,
there doesn’t appear to be any doubt that
his statements can be relied upon. It
apiiears that over 160,000,000 has been ex
penaed,and that less than three miles ot the
contemplated 41 miles of water way have
been opened. Even the three miles are
by no means completed. Cant. Pini
says that 10,000 men cannot finish the
proposed work in 16 years. In fact, it is
his opinion thatthe difficulties interposed
by the river Cbagres cannot be overcome.
This river crosses the line of the canal.
It is a stream that frequently rises 20 and
even 30 feet in a very short space of time,
and runs from its source to its mouth
with the swiftness of a mill race.
Another great obstacle to the prosecu
tion of the work, Capt. Pim thinks, which
will soon present itself, is the want of
money. Neither English nor American
capitalists will put money into the
canal, because they do not believe that it
will ever be completed. Thus farM.de
F.esseps has been supplied with money
by French investors. The great majority
of these investors are poor people who
have taken the canal stock because they
have the most unbounded faith in M. de
Lesseps. and because they hope that it
will prove to be very profitable. It is
evident, however, that as the prospect of
success liecomes less promising it will be
more difficult to get money, and that the
time cannot be very distant when the
supply of money will cease altogether.
Ot course a letter like this of Capt.
Pim must tend to create public sentiment
for the Nicaragua canal scheme. Capt.
Pim passed over and examined ttanr
| oughly the Panama canal route last Oc
j tober, and also examined shortly after
■ wards the Nicaragua route. He is conti
j dent that the Panama canal will never
! be completed, and he is satisfied that the
proposed Nicaragua canal is practicable.
There appear to be a good many influ
ences at work to commit this country to
the Nicaragua canal project. Whether
they will lie sufficient or not may be de
termined in a few weeks. It is clear,
however, that the country ought not to
in? committed to such au undertaking un
til after the most thorough investigation
as to its practicability and upon tha most
convincing proof of its advisability.
Public Improvement Hills.
The river ami hartmr bill and public
building bills always meet with opposi
tion. Congressmen representing districts
that are not directly benefited by appro
priations for rivers and harbors, or have
obtained all the improvements they can
reasonably ask for, attempt every year
to make a little cheap reputation by
talking loudly about the river and harbor
“steal.” Asa rule they are supported by
the newspapers of their respective dis
tricts.
It is noticeable that a Congressman will
make extraordinary exertions to get an
appropriation for a custom house or post
offiee building in some town in his dis
trict. and as soon as he is successful will
talk about the combination to take mil
lions oyt of the treasury for unnecessary
public buildings. Neither the opponents
,f river and harbor appropriations nor of
appropriations for public buildings take
the trouble to inquire whether the objects
of such appropriations are meritorious or
not. In most instances their opposition
has no higher motive than to attract at
tention to themselves.
Mr. Randall, the Chairman of the Com*
mittee on Appropriations, appears to take
delight in depriving Mr. Stoekslager, the
Chairman of the Committee on Public
Buildings, of an opjiortunity to get any
public building bills considered. Mr.
Randall has the right of way, as it were;
that is. other bills must give way lor ap
propriation bills. But does anybody sui>-
pose nit r. Randall objected to an ap
propriation for tne ...sirrificent post office
building that was lately completed
in the city of Philadelphia, or
that he attempted to binder the consider
ation of the bill making the appropria
tion:-' It is probable that he worked like
a Trojan for that bill, and regarded everv
man an enemy who sought to obstruct its
passage.
In this city we w ant an appropriation
ior our harlior. and an appropriation for a
public building. Our commerce demands
the improvement of our river, and our
growing business interests require anew
post office building. We have been wait
ing for the post office building a good
while, and don’t see that the
prospect of getting it is much brighter
now than when it was first proposed.
We sympathize with those who favor
public improve meat bills for two reasons.
Kiist. because we need iu this locality
certain improvements; and. second, he
cause we believe in improving rivers and
harliors and in erecting public buildings
where they are needed. It is doubtful if
many of those who oppose such improve
ments are influenced by reasons that are
free from selusliuess.
Mr. Cable ami tlie South.
Mr. George W. Cable appears to be
talking rather rashly, if he is reported
correctly. He has a great many warm
friends and admirers iu the
South, but he appears to be pur
suing a course calculated to alienate
them without increasing his friends in
the North. The criticisms sn his recent
article in the Century, entitled “The
Freedmen’s Case in Equity,” which have
appeared in the Southern newspapers,
seem to have &tung him into saying some
haish things. The following is an extract
from a telegram from Chicago, in which
city Mr. Cable was a day or two ago:
Concerning the embittered protest of
the Southern press regarding his plea for
the colored race. Mr. Cable said: “It is
as if vou had kicked a l*-e hive and the
t>oes had rushed out to see what damage
was done and what was going to come of
it. In this connection, there is a point 1
must make regarding th“ newspapers of
the South. Nine-tenths of the Southern
people are voiced by a lot of job printers.”
This criticism Mr.Cable explained by say
ing that the country press, not enjoying a
large support, had not the means to em
ploy that intelligence in its management
which was representative ot the true
spirit in the South. To show the growth
of this change Mr. table said: “Two
vears ago l spoke at the University of
Mississippi. When 1 finished they crowd
ed around t<> grasp my hand, and they
told me that bad 1 attempted to say
those things a few years uge I should
have been stopped before 1 finished my re
marks.”
Mr. t able’s fling at the Southern press
is rather unkind, in view of the fact that
he began his literary career as a reporter
on the staff of the New Orleans Picayune.
Mr. Cable believes doubtless that the
views he has expressed relative to the
negro in the South, and also relative to
the cause the South uphold in the la'e
war. are correct. We can hardly think
that he would express such views merely
with the hope of pleasing the section of
country which was the first to recognize
his talent as a writer, and which is the
chief market for his work 9. Mr. Cable is
a very frank man, and what he thinks he
is very apt to say. He ought to remem
ber, however, that it is by no
means certain that his opinions
on the subjects in question are
not erroneous, and that the great
mass of the Southern people who differ
with him are not much more likely to be
right than he is. It is worthy of notice
that Congressman Hammond has shown
that Mr. Cable’s article on Southern
convicts was full of errors in so
far as it referred to this State.
If wrong as to this mate may it
not have been wrong as to other States,
and if Mr. Cable reasons from incorrect
data may not his conclusions lie wrong?
But, assuming that he may be right
with respect to the matters in controver
sy, does he hope to escape criticism when
he pretends to speak as a Southern man
and expresses sentiments contrary to
those entertained by the Southern people?
He must expect to be criticised, and that
too. sharply. If he is the true teacher he
bolds himself out to be he will either re
main silent until he can speak as be
comes one in his position or he will at
tempt to maintain his position by addition
al arguments. To try to belittle the people
he claims to speak for is unworthy the
author of “The G-andissimes.”
Yesterday's Flection.
The municipal election yesterday was
remarkably quiet. The interest in it was
not very great. The reason was that
there was no doubt that the ticket selected
at the mass meetiug last week would be
elected.
The election yesterday was in marked
contrast with thecounty election a couple
of weeks ago. At the county election
there were some rather disgraceful scenes,
if reports are correct. Nobody offered to
sell his vote yesterday, however,
and he would not have found a pur
chaser if he had. There was a
conspicuous absence of loafers about
the polls. The Mayor and Councilmen
can congratulate themselves that they
were voted into office at an election that
was chiefly remarkable for the absence of
anything like disorder.
About the most gratifying thought in
connection with yesterday’s election is
that it was the last we shall have for a
good long time. We certainly have had
enough elections in the last four months.
A man who appreciates his jiosition in
society, and who makes it a point
to discharge the duties that belong
to citizenship, seldom fails in expressing
his opinion at the ballot box, but when
called on to express his opinion with un
necessary frequency, it is not surprising
that he should begin to wonder if the bal
lot is not becoming a burden. Four elec
tions iu four months are rather too many.
The one hundred and seventy-ninth an
niversary of the birth ol Benjamin Frank
lin, which was on Saturday last, was not
the occasion of much parade in his honor
anywhere. A Boston paper printed a
wood cut of the house in which he was
born. The Typo the! a; Club, of New York,
tapped a keg of beer to his memory. In
Philadelphia the only honor paid h : s
memory on the occasion was the planting
of a 10-cent flag on the tomb of Benjamin
and Deborah Franklin by a solitary old
citizen, who remembered the philosopher,
statesman and patriot of the young re
public. Probably the greatest tribute
paid to Franklin for many years was that
contained in the letter ot ex-President
Davis, which was published a few days
liefore the almost forgotten anniversary.

Mr. Cleveland fays of men now in public
offices tiiat “efficiency, fitness and devotion jo
public duty are conditions of their continu
ance in public places.” Hut boih .Jefferson
and Cleveland. 1 lie President tuat was and
the President tiiat is to be, are equally em
phatic in declaring that those who have
prostituted their public positions to partisan
purposes "must go.” .lefferson said: “We
should betray the cause committed to our care
were we to perpiit the Influence of official
patronage to bo uaeji to overthrow that
cause.” Cleveland classes among those who
have lost all claim to continuance in their
positions those who. “instead of lieing decent
public servants, have proved themselves
offensive partisans and unscrupulous manipu
lators of local party management." i lie
hoped for revival of the Jeffersonian days
suggests something more than mere simplicity

is true that enormous quantities of cheese,

to be found. American and factory imita

The discovery in California lately of con

have been found aso in Silesia, England,
France, Canada, and the West Indies. They
are found in lw'ds. commencing with layers of

THE gale on Saturday did serious damage
to the oyster licds of the Great Kills ami
Prince’s Bay, near New Y ork. The low tide
left hundreds of acres of choice oysters ex
tioeed. The sudden and severe cold that ac
companied the wind froze the oysters solid on
Die muddy bottom. The result was that at
least $20,000 worth of tine, marketable oysters
were ruined. On I-cmon Creek the loss was
also heavy. The ovstermrn take the largest
and choicest bivalves to the banks of that
-tream for a "drink," as it is called, prepara
tory to shipping them to market. These are
extra size t oysters and the fattest and most

“Give him hail Columbia!” screamed
another.
Along Bradner went, unconscious ot
the reception in store for him. Every
bov had a snowball or two ready. They
kept quiet until he came within twenty
five feet of them, when, at a given signal,
a shower of snowballs and chunks of mud
went living through the air at him. They
took good aim and scarcely one missed
Bradner. A dozen struck him squarely in
the face. He was terror stricken, and began
to how l and splutter around. He then
began to brush himself off.
“Wbat does this mean?” he yelled with
rage.
Another fusilade of snowballs and with
ering epithets were the answers.
“Let us sweep the road with him,
boys!” commanded the leader.
Instantly the boys rushed at him, yell
ing like Comanehes. JJe turned back and
ran. They followed, meanwhile pelting
him vigorously.
He bad gone but a little distance when
they caught up to him. He bent bis body
and tried to protect his head from the
shower of snowballs that poured down
upon him.
Cries of “bank robbers.” “thieves,”
“swindlers,’' ”embez*l3rs,’! then grated
upon his ears. He turned around and
asked if they meant to murder him.
“Roll him, roll him!” was the next com
mand.
Down he went to the ground and for
about three minutes the crowd rolled him
over in the mud and slush. The larger
boys attended to that part of the business,
while the smaller ones continued the
snowballing. He yelled for mercy and
then for help. In n minute he resembled
a bedraggled dishcloth.
A crowd of grown-up people who had
been attracted to the spot encouraged the
boys. Bradner was a sorry looking 9igbt
when they got through with him. l(e
looked as if he had first fallen into the
hold of a mu.i-scow and then had been
lint in a threshing machine. Hatless and
almost out of breath, Bradner ran away
and hid in a stable ar.d fastened the door
inside.
Mrs. Ecklv, a German washerwoman,
who lost S3OO by the bank failure, and
who witnessed the boys’ attack, learned
of his hiding-place. Taking a clothes
line she went to the stable and demanded
admittance.
In trembling tones he told her that he
was not in condition to receive any one.
Bv this time the boys hail reached Brad
ner’s place of shelter. Their shouts and
the rope led the refugee to suppose that
he was to be lynched.
Mrs. Ecklv again demanded admit
tance. When it was refused she turned
to the crowd and said.
■•r etch him out and I’ll nang him my
self l”
In the meantime the constables, who
had been informed of the affair, appeared
and rescued Bradner and escorted him
homo.
AN INTELLECTU AL LI LT HUUST.
With Wonderful Power Over Builes
and Talking alt Languages at Will.
A few people met at a private house in
Park avenue Saturday night, says the
New York Times, and gazed with wonder
at an intellectual Lulu Hurst. The host in
troduced to them a young woman appa
rently about o 0 years old, with a fresh,
rosy complexion, brown hair and eyes,
and rather diffident manners. He said
that she was an intimate friend of his,
Mrs. Ohl, of Plainfield, N. J. For nearly
three years, he explained, this lady had
been controlled by some marvelous and
powerful influence, which gave her a
ready command of the most difficult
foreign languages, modern and dead,
without any study. She could not choose
the language she' would speak at will;
sometimes she would rattle off' a lot ol
Spanish, sometimes talk French for an
hour without stopping for breath, anp
again reel off' Greek, Hebrew, or even
Arabic at a pace that the most accom
plished scholar found difficulty in follow
ing.
The most extraordinary thing aboout it
the host said iu conclusion, was that Mrs.
Ohl had never in her life studied any for
eign language, nor did she ever speak a
word in any other tongue but English un.
til this strange spell came upon her.
Mrs. Ohl’s natural diffidence deepened
to almost school-girl bashfulness as she
rose before her new and critical acquaint
ance and stood upon a large wolf-skin
rug. Without any delay, she smiled
pleasantly upon all, rolled her brown eyes
toward the ceiling, and immediately be
gan a harangue with an imaginary street
crowd in a language that uo one present
could even guess at. She talked as though
thoroughly in earnest. Next she wander
ed off into a pathetic lullaby, which a
gentleman present declared to be a Span
ish love song. After another monologue
in an unknown language, Mrs. Ohl sang
a tenor solo and alternately carried on a
basso and a soprano song-dialogue, doing
all with apparent ease.
Then she rested a few minutes, and,
taking a pencil aud paper in her hands,
rolled her eyes sky ward again.' In an in
credibly short space of time she had tilled
a foolscap page with curious lsoking char
acters that neither she nor anybody else
in the room could read. It looked like a
jumbled mixture of phonography, Chb
nese and Arabic, yet certain letters and
sign characters were very distinct.
Mrs. Ohl said that the “spell,” as she
called it, though calling for considerable
physical exertion, seemed to refresh her.
She lived at Plainfield with her mother
(who was in the room at the time) and
her husband, who was in the employ of
Pierre Lorillard. She began to have spells
about three years ago, and had gradually
got so that she could command them at
will. She had writteu in Hebrew, and
on one occasion she put down
a lot of telegraphic characters
which the village operator read
at a glance, and which proved to be
some long desired information about a
missing will. Though she had never read
Shakespeare’s “Julius Ciesar,” she once
accurately recited nearly the whole of it
to her mother. Both she and her husband
were sensitive about the matter, and
would only exhibit the strange powers to
a few acquaintances. A Portuguese lady,
who was among them, would not believe,
so Mrs. Ohl said, that she had not ac
quired the Portuguese accent in Portu
gal. She received like encomiums from
gentlemen familiar with the languages
for her French, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew,
Greek,and Arabic accent.
Mrs. Obi said, in response to a question,
that it made no difference to her Whether
she sang soprano, baritone or tenor. The
only peculiar sensations connected with
the whole affair were around her throat
and chest. Her mind was clear all the
time, she said, and she saw all the people
about her, but her attention was wholly
occupied with the strange characters in
fantastic garbs who came before her
eyes and who seemed to speak through
her.’ Another peculiar feature of the
strange influence under which Mrs. Ohl
did all these ridiculous things, her mother
said, was her wonderful influence over
dumb animals. She would ride fearlessly
an untamed colt and successfully cap
ture an angry bull, which had chased a
scared man across a ten-acre lot. She
was afraid of nothing but spiders. Rats
and mice were her pets. Mrs. Ohl offered
the guests no explanation of her phe
nomenal powers.
A SNOW-IMPRISONED TRAIN.
A Thousand Men and 20 Locomotives
Unable to Release It.
The experience of the passengers on the
snow-bound train on the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company’s road, says a
Portland (Oregon) letter of to the
New Y’ork Sun, is probably without a
parallel in this country. The train be
came fast in the snow on Dec. 16, ami the
efforts of more than 1,000 men, a score of
locomotives, and half a dozen snow
plow have been powerless thus far to
release it. Snow began falling on the
16th, accompanied by a high wind, and
before night the Columbia ami YYillamette
valleys were completely buried. The
west-bound train of the Northern Pacific
came along w ith about 160 passengers on
board, and had no great trouble until it
reached the Dalles, though the snow was
three feet deep At that point a snow
plow was seut on ahead, and the train
followed. After leaving Hood river the
plo became stalled when about four
miles the other aide of Wyeth, ami the
train was forced to come to a stand. Every
able-bodied man on the train took a
shovel, ard repeated efforts were made to
clear the track. The wind was high and
the snow drv, and shoveling was found
to be useless'. Repeated snow slides trout
the mountains soon convinced the con
ductor that there was imminent danger of
the train lieing buried, and he backed up
to a trestle, which had only just been
gained when a tremendous slide occur
red, covering the engines and baggage
cars almost out of sight. The snow storm
continued with unabated violence, and
the wind, which soon became a hurricane,
was intolerably severe. With the loco
motives covered and the track ahead of
and behind them buried to a depth of forty
feet in snow and ice, it became evident
that a long siege was at baud. There
was little food on the train, and great
consternation prevailed for a time, more
especially among the w omen and children,
of whom they were many.
The next morning the conductor sent
two train men to Cascade Locks for food.
The distance was eleven miles, and the
trip in the blinding snow and cutting
wind was one oi great difficulty. When
they arrived at their destination the men
had much trouble in inducing any one to
make the return journey with them, but
they at length found men willing to un
dertake the errand, anil succeeded in
reaching the train the next dav at 2
p. m. with several hundred pounds of , re
visions on toboggans. In the express car
were lound a lot of jack rabbits, two
quarters ot beef, and several cases of
oysters in cans. These were cooked and
served along with the other rations, each
passenger receiving a regular allowance
twice a day. After this the railroad com
pany organized expeditions at Cascade
Locks eveiy two or three days to carry
food to the beleaguered train. The provi
sions taken were each only as could be
packed easily and were carried cm poles,
a man at each end, Tue sufferings of
these messengers in making the trip were
frequently terrible. Several ot them
were overcome by fatigue and cold and
had to be carried by their companions.
After this had been going on for a few
days the authorities notified the pas
sengers that food cou]d not he furnished
for so many iq that way, and that all
able-bodied men would lie expected to
abandon the train and set out for Cascade
Locks on foot. Twenty-five started the next
morning in a driving snow, storm and all
made the Locks that evening except lour,
who had to lie left at a farm house. Many
suffered from frozen faces, hands, anil
feet. The next morning thirty-five more
started, and all made the journey safely,
although some of them wpre in a pitiable
condition. The snow was from five to
tiftv feet in depth, and much oi the way
the*path lay along hillsides so icy that a
misstep would have ended at the river far
below. In some places the travelers had
to cut holes in the icy crust for their hands
and feet, and crawl along with the great
est care. Some other small parties left
the train afterward. The women and
children wapt pitifully when the men left,
fearing that they were to he abandoned
to starve and freeze; but the assurance of
the conductor that they would be safely
guarded by the train hands and the men
who were not thought able to make the trip
after a time put them at ease,
Thus relieved o{ one half of the pas
sengers the transportation of food be
came a less difficult problem. Several
times during the last two weeks it was
thought that the shovelers and snow
plow would be able soon to relieve the
train, but just as they appeared to be
gaining on the snow and ice a little a
iresh storm would set in, and then things
would be worse than before. The train is
surrounded with snow, and the track at
that place ior about four miles is covered
in many localities to a depth of 40 feet
with solid ice. During the high winds
the spray from the numerous falls was
(down upon the tracks, and this freezing
caused the formation of hills at ice, which
could only be removed by blasting.
'ln the cars the passengers made them
selves as comfortable as possible. Thus
far there has been no sick ness, thmfth there
are scores of children aboard, and, the
opportunities for exercise ai-e necessarily
limited. When the coal gave out the
brakemen went out and chopped wood,
which was found near by in abundance.
Hundreds oi men have been working on
the track with picks and shovels, and
there is now hope that the blockade will
soon be raised. It bac been found that
the only way to make permanent progress
without destroying the track is to pick
the ice out in chunks and carry them
away. At first there was plenty of
whisky and tobacco on the trains, but
when all the traveling men’s samples had
been consumed the people who U3ed these
luxuries had to do without, for the men
who packed provisions to tha train re
fused to be loaded with anything but
necessaries. Although the prospect that
the train will soon be released is now
good, it is not forgotten that things have
appeared equally favorable many times
before during the past sixteen days. If
we have no more storms or severe cold it
will not take long to onen tne road. 'L’he
passengers on the train are as cheerful as
could be expected, but the experience is
one which they will never forget.
Most of the men who walked to
Cascade Locks continued on to Portland
in parties of 10 or 12, also on foot. The
distance is 65 miles, and much of the
route is very dangerous. Nearly all of
them have arrived here in bad condition.
A few are laid up at farm houses on the
way. One party took the railroad track,
and by clinging to the telegraph wires
most of the way, the snow being so deep
that they could easily reach them, they
made the trip without much trouble. The
blouckade has cost the railroad company
about $5,000 a day for shovelers anil
plow, and has caused an entire sus
pension of business by the Northern
Pacific. Mails now go east by steamer to
San Francisco.
An Insanity Expert.
Xew York Graphic
It was during a murder trial. A wit
ness for the defense was on the stand.
“What do you intend to prove by this
witness*” asked the Judge.
“That the prisoner is insane,” replied
the attorney.
"Hoes the witness know anything
about insanity? Is bean expert?”
“Expert?” repeated the lawyer. “Well.
I should say he was. He knows all
about insanity. Why, your Honor, he
has been as crazy as a loon for the past
ten years,”
