A Queer Family of Lunatics.
The family of James Scott, of Cbuk
county, Ind , is afflicted with a very
strange sort of lunacy, I hey are
Mormons, and Scott professes to be
the oracle of God. His wife was ta
ken sick late in August, and lie con
fined her in a room, to which he re
fused to admit anybody but his son
and daughter. The neighbors made
seveial attempts to got in, but be al
ways opposed them. One day a Mor
mon minister called and said he bad
received “manifestation from God" t©
the effect that he should ses the wo
man, but Scott replied, “I have a la
ter manifestation to kick you off the
premises,’ &nd kicked him according
ly. Finally a baud yf men detyrmin- j
ed to unravel the mystery. Ihej'j
broke iuto the room, the father, son,
and two daughters meanwhile stand
ing by moaning and talking wildly. |
They found the confined woman sit
ting in a chair, and looking stiff and i
solid as marble, lur lace void of ex- J
pression, and sho evidently cpiite in- ,
different to all that was going on. .
The woman, when she was first taken
sick, got g, notion into her head that
she would never die, but would lie
translated as Elijah of old; and aftei
sifting the matter, it is pretty clearly
asceitained that Scott intended to
keep his wife concealed until shod e l
and then give out to the world that
she was translated. A movement bus
been mads to have the whole family
examined by a lunacy commission.
• What Gov. Baxter Says-
The correspondent of the Cincin
nati Commercial, writing on the 12th
ult., describes an interview held with
Governor Baxter, at Little Rock. We
quote:
W T e talked for some time, he going
into the details of the miserable Ar
yans muss. He said that the prosper
ity and welfare of the State was at
stake, and that if the Clayton and
Brooks ring won. then good-bye Ar
kansas. With such men in power,
buying and selling the State at pleas
ure, there could be no peace or pros
perity'. “I con'd have been in the
Stnto House to-day," said the Gover
nor, “and in undisputed possession,
had I consented to do the bidding of
Clayton and Dorsey. But 1 would
not. I could not. as an honest man,
allow myself to be made a tool of to
carry out their selfish ends. Ten
weeks ago, in this city, I was aproach
ed by a man‘coming from Clayton
and Dorsey, who offered me a United
States Judgeship and all the money I
wanted if I would do certaiu dishon
orable things to advance their inter
ests. No, sir; it was only when they
found they could not use me —make a
tool of me—that they concocted this
plan to rob me of the Governorship.
That plot was laid right hero in this
city, and all because I would not sell
iny r self to Clayton and his ring.”
Crematory age—“O, ma! mu ! John
ny’s got the urn and is spilling pa’s
ashes over the floor!’ “O, what a
naughty Johnny! Get the feather
duster and sweep your poor father
right up!”

Lone Tree, Nebraska, a year or two
ago, writes to a tobacco house in that
city, to send him five pounds of “fine
cut” by express, adding: “I am a
candidate for Sheriff'of this county,
and I think by a judicious use of live
pounds of good tobacco I can secure
two hundred majority.
