Carl Scliurz on the Ohio Election.
The Hon. Carl Scliurz is on a visit
to New York, and in couvoiwtion on
Friday with some friends was asked
whether lie thought the vote in Ohio
and the defeat there of the inflation
’movement would have such an effect
in the West as to definitely put that
issue out of our politics for the next
year, in reply to which he said it was
very questionable. Inflation is very
strong in the West, and it commands
a large majority of the Democratic
party in that region, excepting, per
haps, in the extreme Northwestern
.States, including Illinois. If the in
flationists had boon beaten by a very
large majority in Ohio the result
would probably have discouraged
them so much as to induce them to
give it up; but the majority being
small, they may feel warranted in
trying again, and go on i. ith the or
ganization of legal-tender clubs,
which they have already begun, and
which the} - intend to establish on a
large scale. Besides, the Ohio elec
tion returns show that while a small
number of hard-money Democrats
voted against Allen, a much larger
tiauatoer of ■sift-money Republicans
■voted for him. Whilst he did not
ilook upon the election as decisive, it
was an exceedingly important one,
inasmuch as it shows the inability of j
the inflationists to drive everything
before them with the erv of moiel
money on then 1 own chosen field. It
certainly has saved the country from
am immediate danger. He believes'
that the inflation Democrats in the'; 1
West, sore over their defeat, may
strive to revenge themselves upon the ;
sound oui'ismny Democrats of the
East, and make trouble within the
party, and lie is apprehensive lest
they may receive help from the South
ern Democrats. As to the future, he
holds himself independent of party
ties and influences, and prefers to,
leave the door open to act with that
one of the two parties which, as lie
persistently remarks, shall rise far
thest above its old record, and its i
.dangerous and merely selfish element.
While ho regards the financial issue
as of great importance, he thinks that
some other reforms are also demand
ed, and is evidently not inclined to ,
see the currency question made the
sole one next year. He believes that
party will have the best chance next
year which lifts itself highest above :
its selfish partisan impulses and above !
its own record, and thinks the coun
try will be best served if the political
parties are not both as bad, but both ,
as good as possible; And tiff it each
will improve the other by improving
itself.
Bad State of Affairs in Texas.—A
letter ill the New Orleans Jiepublican
Mason county, Texas, says: “Hardly
,n mail is received but brings the news
of the assassination of one or more
citizens. The Sheriff has long since
.ceased to execute legal process. For
months lie has changed his sleeping
place every night to escape the weap
on of the asssassin, and the last mail
brought news of the killing of two
men. Not less than a dozen have
•been killed and Hounded, and there
is a lively prospect of an actual, bona |
fide battle. John Worley was shot
down while drawing ft man up out of
a well in process of excavation. After
shooting and slashing the body ad li
bitum the murderer deliberately took
his victim’s scalp and rode off unmo
lested, and no attempt lias been made
to arrest him. It is difficult to ex
plain fully tho origin and progress of
the vendetta. The trouble started in
quarrels about the ownership of stock,
and as one murder begets another,
matters have gone on from bad to
Worse until almost the entire popula
tion is actively in prosecut
ing tho bloody fend. The Governor
is appealed to, and unless State troops
are stationed there at once, a worse
state of affairs than existed in DeWHf
countv before that action was taken,
may be expected.

Super's Fatal Error.
(From the Alleghany Mail.)
Mr. Soper’s wife lias been very sick
for some weeks, blit although ex
tremely reduced in body and mind,
there is still enough of the true wo
man remaining in her, which led her
last Monday, in a faint whisper, to
ask her husband, who had entered the
sick room with a funeral cast of fea
tures, what was the news.
"Well,” answered Mr. Sopor, sit
ting uneasily down on the extreme
edge of a chair, and balancing his hat
on his fingers by the brim, “there
ain't nothing to speak of in par
ticular. S’pose you heard of Miss
Cole’s death; she was taken the same
time you was.”
I oUul.l think James,” said Mrs.
Soper, with a feeble emphasis, “that
if you couldn’t iiud-*onu>thiii’ more
cheerful to say to your poor, sick wife,
you'd hold your tongue.”
“Cert’nly,” said Mr. Soper, meekly,
“only news is sc’ace. Lemme see,”
j he continued looking thoughtfully iu
to the crown of his hat, as if he had a
reserve of gossip theriu, “you heard
; bout Mathy Carter’s breakin’ her
A SDappish nod of the head from
the invalid signified to Mr. Soper that
i he was on dangerous ground, but af
ter a moment’s reflection be brighten
ed visibly as lie said:
“V ou’d orter be’n to town mectin’
aMond’y. The town's voted to have
anew hearse, an’ I never was so glad
of anything in all my life.”
“James Edward Soper,” whispered
i his wife with a painful intensity, “be
you a uat’ral born fool, or be you a
lookin' forrard to gettiu’ rid of me ?”
As the latter view had never pre
sented itself to Mr. Soper in the light
of his wife’s inquiry, he looked very
much subdued, and scratched his
head with an air of painful abstrac
tion as Mrs. Soper said again with a
tearful voice:
"Oh, you c’u go. If you can’t spare
a few moments to set with mo, an’
jus’ giv’ rue some little interestin’
news—-I don’t want you to stay ag’in
vour inclination,” she continued with
the sigh of a martyr.
Mr. Soper hastily expressed his
willingness to remain and desire, so
after a brief interval of thought he
continued reflectively:
“Well, lemme think. I was over to
the AVidder Stacy’s las’ night to sec if
I couldu’ make a trade for a Jersey
heifer, an’ I tell you, Myna,” said Mr.
Soper, enthusiastically, “if she ain’t a
harnsum critter, I never seed one.”
An ominous light appeared in Mrs. !
Soper’s sunken eves, and if her bus- j
band bad been observing closely lie
would have seen a restless motion of,
the hands, indicative of an apparant j
desire to make a personal attack up
on someone or something, but ho saw
nothing, and continued:
‘•.She’s jest about the right size, an’
her skin as white as snow. She’s got
the pootiest legs,” continued the mi
reilecting Mr. Sopor, with a descript
ive motion of the hand; “an’ when
you come to t.alk about shape—why
M’ria,” said Mr. Soper, rising from
his chair in liis warmth, “she’ll meas
ure two feet across her breast ”
The scream which come from the
afflicted invalid at this juncture wna
of such piercing shrillness that Mr.
Sopor placed his finger in his ears,
and Mrs. Soper's mama, who was in
the next roofn, appeared on the scene
in the twinkling of an eye.
“Oh, you awful brute?" she ex
claimed as she bathed her daughter’s
brow with hair oil in mistake for cam
phor, while the wretched man kept
telling Mrs. Soper about a Jersey
heifer that he was going to buy.
•‘There, ma,” said Mrs. Soper with
a gasp, “I’m better now.”
“You’d better leave the room,” said
the matron, with a world of signifi
cant wrath in her eye, and the unfor
tunate Soper departed, muttering as
he slammed the outside door behind
him, that he would bo mast|sf in his
own house some day; but be hasn’t
been yet, for Mrs. Soper has recover
ed, and her mother has taken up a
permanent residence with them.
To this day they don’t speak to the
Widow Stacy, and Mr. Soper’s reiter
ated explanation has always been re
ceived in dignified and instipiteous si
lonee.

A Strange Story of Some Children.
(From tho Atlanta Herald.)
Central, S. C., October 18tb, 1875.
Editor Herald— There are two
children near here that arc afflicted in
a very strange way, and no one knows
how to account for it. Tho parents
of these children are negroes, and
live iu a cabin within half a mile of
this place. The eldest boy, William
(Washington, of course), is a bright
looking i-oy of thirteen, and his
brother Reuben, nine years of age, is
sullen and morose, with low forehead
and ignorant look. About six months
ago these children were taken with a
spell more resembling epilepsy than
any thing else yor correspondent
knows anything about. He imagined
lie saw a dog, and as the spell came
j on and increased in violence, lie would
bark and move about, bis actions re
| sembling a dog a good deal. Three
months after William was taken in
this way, Reuben became afflicted
likewise. Sometimes the spell came
on so suddenly that the children were
j stricken down and lay as if dead for
hours at a time, foam issuing freely
from eyes, mouth and nose. After
j fancying that they were dogs, or that
they were pursued by dogs, for some
j time, they got to thinking it a turkey,
! and of a sudden would say, “See that
I turkey ! Look, there it goes ! It will
bite you !” with like ejaculations.
: Finally, the apparition changed to an
old woman, which is the last, and it
I now seems to haunt them as though
j their evil genius is sure enough an i
| old woman. When your correspon
dent called, he found the two boys j
tied together, the rope being bound
around their bodies then tied to n tree |
in the yard. This is done, the prrents
say, to keep them from running oft’ i
iu the woods and getting lost. The !
oldest had an at trek while I was there ;j
he fell down and seemed to be dead;
lay on the ground fixed and motion
less with not the least signs of life for
hours. He was carried into the house ]
and placed near the fire, and when he j
recovered he said that the old woman
had caught him around the waist
and said that he should neither move j
nor speak, and that she would show j
him hell fire. He does not seem to i
be frightened at all, but when he |
speaks about it does so in a careless,
indifferent way, just as if it was a mat
ter that could not be avoided. His
mother, who seems to be more intel
ligent than the majority of her race,
thinks they have been bewitched, and
will believe nothing else. Her story
is this: One day the eldest boy was
in the house near the fire place, and
a stick of lightwood left one corner of
and struck the boy on the head, but
the blow, which looked as though it
ought to have killed him, from the
heavy way the chunk fell to the
ground, did not hurt him. She look
ed every way for someone whom she
supposed bad thrown the lightwood,
but she could see no one. She often
hears whistling in the house, but can
see no one anywhere about that could
produce the noise. She says that the
children can see it, and it is always
one or the other of the things men
tioned, a dog, turkey, or the old wo
man. Nothing will satisfy them .but
that the boys are bewitched. They
had a doctor to attend them, and he
told them the boys were acting a part,
and that if they would whip them
good it would put a stop to all the
foolishness. The father waited nutil
the spell came on and gave the oldest
boy an unmerciful boating, bringing
blood, to which he paid no more at
tention than if a man was pounding
on a log. After he got over it he did
not know what had produced the
sores. The father’s story was thus:
“Tom Glasty told me that an old wo
man living in the neighborhood, nam
ed Dobson, had bewitched them for
the purpose of running me out of my
house, so that she could get posses
sion of it. And he told me to kill this
old woman for it, and that the law
would sustain me in it. And he said
further, that he could prove it in this
way: for me to take a bottle and fill it
full of water and cork it up and place
it near the hearth, where it would
keep warm, and the old woman would
come to borrow something from mo
within nine days, and this would boa
sign that she had bewitched the chil
dren. I did this and instead of Airs.
Dobson coming to borrow something
within the nine days Tom Glasty
came twice within that time for that
purpose, and she did not come once.”
Now, I have given you as brief ac
count as I can of something that has
created a good deal of excitement in
the neighborhood. I have not given
the news to create any excitement. It
may be easily accounted for, and I
wish that someone would do so. Any
one can see them, and any one who
thinks this a hoax and wants to be
convinced, all he has to do is to come
and see for himself.
Rexnat.
Once upon a time a French Gen
eral on duty at Turin started with his
wife to a court ball. The lady had
just thrown off her outer cloak when
she was taken ill. A doctor and
a few ladies attended her, and the
General was soon soen wrapping a
livelj boy iu his coat and hurrying
homeward. The boy so born is Ad
miral De la Itenciere-le-Nonry, who
was recently removed from the com
mand of the Mediterranean squadron
for displaying too much Eonapartist
zeal.
Texas Courtship.
He sat on one side of the room in
j a big white-oak rocking chair. She
; on the other side in a little white-oak
J rocking chair. A long eared doer
j hound, snapping at flies, was by luh
aide; a basket of sewing by hers.
Both rock incessantly, that is the
I young people, not the dog and bus-
J ket. He sighs heavily and looks out
the west window at a crape myrtle
| tree; she sighs lightly and gazes out
j tho east wiuow—at tho turnip patch.
|At last he remarks: .
“This is mighty good weather to
pick cotton.”
The rocking continues.
“What’s your dog name?”
I “CoODV.”
Another sigh-broken stiiln.
VfKwA Kc *gooU furV” said he,
| abstractedly.
“Your dog, Coony.”
“Fur ketchin’ possums.”
Silence of half an hour.
“He looks like a deer dog.”
“Who looks like a deer dog ?”
“Coony.”
“Ho is—bnt lie’s kinder bellowsed,
an’ gettiu’ old an’ slow now. An’ he j
j ain’t no’count on a cold trail.”
In the quiet ten minutes that en
sued slur took two stitches in her
quilt. It was a gorgeous all’air, that
quilt was, made by the pattern called
“Rose of Sharon.” She is very par
ticular about the nomenclature of her i
quilts, and frequently walks fifteen
miles to get anew patera with a “real j
pretty name.”
“Your ma raisin' many chickens?”
“Forty-odd.”
Then more rocking, and, somehow,
, after awhile, tho big rocking-chair
and tbo iiuic rooting-chair were jam-
I med side by side.
“How many lias your ma got ?”
“How many what ?”
i “Chickens.”
“Nigh on to a hundred.”
Bv thistime the chairs were so close
togot her that rocking is impossible.
“The minks eat all ours.”
Then a long silence reigns. At last
he observes:
‘Makin’ quilts ?”
“Yes,” she replies, brightening up,
“I’ve just finished a ‘Roarin’ Eagul of
Brazeel,’ a ‘Sitting Sun,’ and a ‘Na
siou’s Pride.’ Have you ever saw the
‘Yellow Rose of the Pantry ?”
“No.”
More silence; then he says:
“Do you love cabbage ?”
“I do that.”
Presently his hand is aecideuttally
placed on hers. She does not know
it—at least does not seem to be aware
of it. Then after a half hour spent in
sighs, coughing and clearing of
throats, lie suddenly says:
“I’se a great a-mind to bite you.”
“AVhat you great a-miud to bite me
fur V”
“Ease you won’t have me.”
“Ease you ain’t axed me.”
“AVell, now, I ax you.”
“Then, now, I has you.”
Then Coony dreams ho hears a
sound of kissing.
The next day the young man goes
to Tigerville after a marriage license.
AA’ednesday the following week. No
cards.
Eighteen Hundred Years After
Death.
A correspondent of Appleton’s
Journal, writing of excavations of
Pompeii, says: Among the most in- 1
terestiug of these objects found re
cently are two skeleton’s, one of
a somewhat elderly man, and the ;
other of a woman. TLev were found
in the Via Stabia among the ashes of
the last eruption, evidently overtaken
in their flight and buried among the I
cinders. According to the usual j
method employed to preserve the ex 1
ternal appearance of objects, liquid
plaster was poured into the cavity, j
which, serving as a mould a fac-simile j
of the forms was obtained; and thus
perfectly preserved, the statute-like!
bodies were placed in glass cases in
the Pompeii museum. AVliile appre
ciating all the horror of snch a death,
and the suffering endured, as shown
by the position of the limbs, ono can
not but imagine what would have
been the astonishment of that man
an and woman had some prophet in
formed them that eighteen hundred
years after their death, their forms,
and even as much as their garments
as were not consumediu the eruption,
would be placed in a museum for in
spection by a multitude of sight-seers, j
some from lauds the existence of which \
they had never dreamed of. The
poor woman is lying on her face, and
even the form of her hair, put up be
hind, is seen. One atm shields her
forehead, and she is supported by the j
other. Her stony limbs are well
formed, and the traces of a garment
are seen passing in folds* around her. i
The man, although placed on his
back in tlie exhibition, when found
was turned on his side. One arm
rests on his hip, tlio other is uplifted.
The face is somewhat distorted, but
massive and smoothly shaven. Even
the form of the fastening of the san
dals ground the ankle, and of the
longfutton higher np on the leg to
hold them, is clearly seen. The
limbs are partly drawn up. The
skeleton of a tolerably large dog, also
recently found, ■is iti the Musenui of
Pompeii, his whole form preserved in
plaster, in the same manner as those
Juot mentioned. Ha is lying on his
back, writhing in suffering, biting his
bind log. The rings in his collar lire
plainly seen.
A Willing Mail.
In journalistic life one often meets
with queer characters, and not the
least of these stepped into our sanc
tum yesterday. A dilapidated speci
men, innocent of water for a fortnight
past, bare as to feet, and with a short
shirt that appeared to have been u
stranger to tho washerwoman for
weeks.
He said he used to be a reporter on
a Cincinnati paper, but lost bis situ
ation for telling tho truth. He was
out of money, hadn’t had a shave or
square meal in twenty-one days, and
ho wanted a free pass to Dtnmpolis.
We replied that tho boats didn’t
j pass anybody this fall, and the ex-re
! porter smiled blandly and said:
“All right—get me a pass to Jack
son.”
He was told that a railroad pass
was an impossibility, but that there
was a plain highway which he could
take, and he promptly replied:
“I’ll take a pass on a mule team !” j
He was made to understand that i
jno teamster would carry him ou a :
free pass, and ho pondered awhile
and said:
“Then I'll go to Montgomery.”
It was just as impossible to pass up
j the Alabama as the Bigbee, and when
Ihe came to realize this ho said he
! would edit the Register for S3O per
week. Being told that there was no
vacancy, he wanted to set type, do
job work, run a press or fire for the
engineer. Debarred from a situation
: of any kind, he wanted a “pass” to a
first-class hotel for a week’s board
while he was looking around. The
idea was not acted on, and he offered
to go to a boarding bouse. Disap
pointed iu this, he wanted to borrow
five dollars, and when repulsed in this
j direction he fell into a fit of despond
; ency, from which he soon rallied to
I exclaim;
“Hang me! if this isn't a tough
; town ! I’m tight up, but T won’t be
hard ou you. If you'll trade hats I’ll
i call it square and pass ou to the next
place.”
Rebuffed again, be said he’d take it
out iu a letter to the Mayor of New
Orleans recommending him as a
Christian and a gentleman, but he fi
nally compromised for a dozen ex
changes and a chew of tobacco, and
went down stairs singing:
The world is tuff
Aud so am I
Cheer up Jiui Rogers;
I’ll pass
And his voice was lost.
Pretty soon he came back, and
poking his head into the door, lie!
beckoned us to come to him. We
went. He whispered in our ear,
“Lend me four bits; I want to invest
in the mutual aid association, num
ber four South Royal street, ‘ Then,” ;
he remarked, loftily, “you cau j
keep your dead-head tickets;
I wouldn’t have them after the draw- ;
iug.” We lent him the money, and
he won, and paid us back last niglit. j

The Big English Gun.
The English engineers have suc
ceeded iu making the most effective
heavy gun iu the world, but in some
respects at least it is not the largest
iu existence. The bore of the AVool
wich gun is only 141 inches in diam
eter, and 16-inch smooth bores are iu
use in many navies. The great guns
of the Sublime Porte at the Darda
nelles are 24-inch bores, and the gun
of Moscow is of the same size. But
iu every other respect England has
built, no doubt, the champion gun of
the age. Its weight alone is 18 tons,
and the machinery connected with its
use weighs forty tons more. Its out
side length is twenty seven feet, and
the bore itself is twenty-four feet long.
The service charge consists of 240
pounds of large grained powder,
each grain of which measures an inch
and a half in diameter. This drives
the shot, which weighs 1260 pounds,
at a velocity of 1393 feet per second.
The big fusee is a broach-loader, as it
were, and is warranted to smash
through a24 inch iron plate at the
distance of five miles. The cost of
each shot is $l3O, not allowing any
thing for the uso of a gun that cost
$40,000 in the start.
The English people are very proud
of their new achievment in the con
struction of heavy artillery—a spe
cialty in ivliiolj rimy have, rarely, if
ever, been excelled. The AVooiwich
gun is as novel in construction ns it
is large in weight of metal and pro
lect.ilo. It is built up with long trip
le coils of metal and has a forged
breecli-piece. The huge piece is
wonderfully accurate, and English
men are perhaps fully justified by the
late experiments in claiming that
they have the best gun in the world.
